Episode 651: Broken family (2)
“lily!”
Seridan, who was watching from behind, shouted in horror…
I had no idea that a person’s head could turn 180 degrees and that a white ray of light could be emitted from its mouth.
Ludger’s appearance, swallowed up by the beam of light, did not look as if it had been erased with an eraser.
“Are you okay?!”
“Don’t make a fuss…”
Ludger rose from the shadows nearby…
“I was just a little embarrassed, but it didn’t even bother me.”
It wasn’t right, but it wasn’t a force worth belittling…
A little while ago, it was an attack that contained a high density of divine power in a roar and released it to the outside.
Even though it is just a roar, it is enough to puncture a strong structure.
Judging by the sharp cross section of the hole, it was not an ordinary force…
“I was wondering why the restraints were wrapped around like that. I guess it was to suppress and compress as much as possible the divine power that was trying to go out.”
Deanna, sitting on the golden throne, smiled and praised Ludger.
“That is the correct answer. Perhaps because he is from our family, he has eyes to see.”
“I don’t know anything else, but a person’s neck turns like that… Is it okay to change people who can be called brothers and sisters so mercilessly?”
“We’re not on good terms, laughing at each other… That’s what the defeated say… The twins are better though…”
“You say it’s better to modify the human body at will, destroy its senses, and surround it with restraints?”
“The real thing is different…”
Clang ·
Deanna said so and shook the golden chain held in one hand.
What was bound at the end of the chains crawled out from behind the golden throne.
“····”
Ludger was speechless when he saw the person who appeared.
“Greetings, Heathcliff. I am your older brother, Petra van Bretus. Do you remember?”
Of course I remember…
Petra van Bretus was the sibling who most persistently and viciously bullied Ludger, the youngest and illegitimate son.
I remember him as a childish and cocky kid.
Since it happened more than 20 years ago, I could only remember childhood memories.
But what about Petra now?
He was revealed to be crawling on all fours like a slave, with scars, burns, and bloody bandages all over his body.
His eyes were covered with an eyepatch, and his hair was nowhere to be seen, as if it had fallen out as a sign of abuse.
Even if he was a leper or a victim barely rescued from a fire, he looked believable.
“What on earth have you done?”
“I told you, twins are still in good condition… This childish child bared his teeth and rebelled against Brother Salesin until the end… This is what ended up happening…”
Deanna let out a low laugh…
“But I didn’t kill him…”
That’s what he said, but Ludger could tell…
Petra is barely alive right now…
Killing him is Petra’s greatest mercy and salvation…
“Maybe it would have been better to kill him…”
Ludger’s eyes contemplated Petra’s body condition…
It was a process that was done instinctively, even if one did not want it, as the bloodline of Seonghwang.
All over the bandaged skin, there were stigmas and engraved marks.
It was literally carved on top of raw flesh…
Ludgar felt pain rising from the brand on his back…
Above all, it was not a simple stigma…
That stigma had an effect…
“To think that you are planning to explode all the sacred power you have accumulated by wasting your lifespan all at once… You have created a living human bomb…”
“That is this child’s fate… If an external enemy had not invaded, there would have been no need to use something like this…”
Deanna shook her head.
“I guess there’s nothing we can do in the current situation… Really… Brother Salesin also has really bad taste…”
Diena was blaming Salesin for his cruelty.
However, it was clear to Ludger that Deanna was enjoying it as well…
“So, goodbye… It was fun being together so far, Petra…”
A golden chain shined with Deanna’s command.
The light from the chain spread through Petra’s neck to her entire body and activated the sacred magic circle engraved on her skin.
“Ah uh… ah…”
Petra opened her mouth and tried to say something, but no voice came out.
It was only natural that I had my teeth pulled out and my tongue cut out.
But if his mouth had been fine, he would have said this…
-stop·
Burrrrr·
Petra trembled once, and then her body inflated like a balloon filled with air.
Petra’s body was almost ready to explode…
“for a moment! If they do that, won’t they be safe too?!”
Ludgar immediately answered Sheridan’s question.
“The power of holy power does not only embody such simple physical power… That explosion will cause great damage to enemies, but on the contrary, it will bestow stronger blessings on allies…”
And the power that will explode now was built up over 20 years by a person who inherited the lineage of Seonghwang.
They surrounded it and compressed it so that there was no room for water to leak, and even amplified it by reducing its lifespan.
If the devil, who is an evil being to them, is here, the moment it explodes, it could literally disappear without leaving a single dust behind.
This side was just as dangerous…
Ludger stepped forward to block, but the opponent did not just sit back and watch…
Laurence and Lorelai rushed towards Ludger again.
The leg bent at a strange angle and flew towards Ludger’s body.
A sonic boom occurred, the atmosphere was torn apart, and shock waves spread out.
Ludger tried to block or block the attack and move forward, but the twins were persistent.
Push!
Ludger’s surprise sword stick…
Lawrence, who normally would have avoided it, took it right in.
Puuk·
Ludger’s eyes widened at the sword stick stuck in his abdomen.
Not selected·
‘These guys couldn’t have done it on purpose…’
This was done to buy time for Petra to explode…
There was no way the twins without reason would have judged that and acted…
Of course, it’s because someone gave an order…
The smile on Deanna’s lips became even deeper…
“Good job, little brothers.”
The moment she said goodbye, confident of victory, Ludger smiled wryly.
Deanna showed a puzzled look in her eyes at that sight.
Did you laugh? why?
“I think this has garnered enough attention. Isn’t it too late to step forward?”
“There was a lot to prepare here too…”
A pure white flash fell from the sky…
What I thought was light was a trace created by swinging the sword…
Petra’s body, which was about to explode, was completely split from the top of her head to the floor.
Fish type·
The divine power just before the explosion disappeared…
The gap that appears in the moment before it explodes…
Comma That needle-like, thread-like weakness that can only be seen in the world of one second.
The blade that penetrated precisely into the gap completely nullified the action of divine power.
“who is this!”
Deanna shouted in surprise·
I didn’t notice it at all until the Petra right next to me split in half.
The opponent did not reply, but raised the sword that had split Petra horizontally and swung it towards Deanna’s neck.
“dare!”
Deanna did not sit still and suffer…
The golden throne she was sitting on glowed and a strong repulsive force was generated, pushing the intruder away with her sword.
The intruder who flew backwards rotated his body once in the air and landed calmly on the ground.
Deanna recognized the fallen intruder’s appearance and frowned.
“devil? Could it be that the Great Devil is Surna?”
“It’s such an honor for you to recognize me. I thought there would no longer be anyone in this world who would remember my face.”
“Is there any way to not recognize that kind of energy?”
“You didn’t recognize that strange spirit even though it came close to you, right?”
Deanna clenched her fist in annoyance at Surna’s provocation.
Although she was easy-going when dealing with Ludger, being ridiculed by the demon Surna was an indignity she couldn’t bear.
Deanna’s lips quivered as she tried to say something, but then she took a deep breath and smiled again.
“Yes, I admit our negligence in not noticing that, but the devil came this far alone. I guess he still hasn’t forgotten her?”
You haven’t forgotten her?
What Dienna said was clearly related to Surna…
Ludger gazed at Surna…
Since it was from behind, I couldn’t see his expression.
“Why? Did I really stab you when I saw you couldn’t answer? That’s right, you planned all the fights with Saint Archenis, a traitor to the Holy Kingdom in the past…”
Deanna spoke confidently, as if she knew something about Surna.
“I guess that’s why you came here… You don’t think I know that there is someone who pretends to be hostile to our Holy Kingdom because he is a devil, but in reality has another agenda?”
“Ah, I was wondering what on earth you were talking about like that…”
In fact, Surna touched his ears with his fingers as if the words were very boring.
“When on earth do you bring up the enemy’s work like that? “Why don’t you stop blaming others for losing your saintly power?”
“H-Have you lost your saintly powers? Who is that for in the first place! Besides, we haven’t lost our power yet… back home…”
Deanna was about to say something, but she looked at Ludger and pursed her lips.
It’s as if there’s a story here that you shouldn’t hear…
Surna said sarcastically to Deanna…
“Well, if you’re still caught up in the old glory, I won’t bother to stop you. However, there was a mistake in what you said, so I’d like to correct it.”
“Wrong?”
“I don’t know…”
Surna grinned…
“I am not the only devil here…”
“what····”
Immediately after, a huge force shook beyond the large passageway where Ludger and his companions came.
Deanna was the first to react…
“Everyone, step back!”
With Deanna’s warning, the light of the golden jade became stronger.
A golden shield surrounded her widely.
Fuwaaaaaaaa!
Immediately after that, the dragon’s breath covered it like a tidal wave…
“Woah!”
Sheridan and Velaruna, who were watching from behind, were struck by the breath of a dragon passing overhead.
The dragon’s breath burned down every visible defense force in the inner city.
A wide-scale attack would have swept away our troops, but no such unfortunate incident occurred.
The dragon’s breath, as if it were alive and breathing on its own, avoided allies and persistently targeted only enemies.
Avoidance was useless…
Agile test subjects lowered their bodies or jumped high, but the dragon’s breath changed direction as if it had a guiding function and engulfed them.
Those who were swallowed did not even leave a scream…
Because even the scream burned up and disappeared without a trace in an instant…
Under the blue moonlight, the shimmering scarlet flames mixed and turned purple…
The only ones who survived in that world of flames were Deanna and her surrounding allies, who had spread a shield with the power of the Golden Throne.
“Oh, what a shame… It was a blow I had prepared for a long time to wipe out everything at once…”
It was Helia who emerged from the darkness with the sound of footsteps.
From white and black half-half hair to revealing outfits that reveal her voluptuous body…
Deanna’s expression turned cold when she saw Helia.
Another devil has appeared…
As soon as Surna entered the inner city of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, the pride of the Holy Kingdom was already trampled by clay feet.
But there are not one, but two devils…
“From the great devil who played with a saint, to now the last princess of an extinct race? “I guess today is the day to sweep away all these little things.”
“I didn’t want to come to a place like this either, right?”
Helia grumbled and glanced at Surna.
Surna must have sensed Helia’s gaze and shrugged her shoulders and held her sword.
“I’m in the front row, you’re in the back row…”
“Yes, you must be young…”
Even though Helia said so, she activated her power to support Surna from the rear.
Power [Illusion]
It was safe to say that the illusion, which had physical power intact, was in fact real, not a fake that deceived the eyes.
Ancient beasts rose up around Helya and rushed towards Deanna.
Deanna didn’t sit still either.
As he sat on the golden throne and unleashed his divine power, a bundle of golden chains protruded from behind the throne in the shape of a fan and collided with the beasts.
Golden chains broken by the teeth of beasts…
Beasts pierced by chains and destroyed
The one running through the gap was Surna holding a sword.
Kaang!
When Deena took out a golden scale in one hand and held it out, the scale tilted to one side and a golden energy shot out like a spear and grazed Surna’s cheek.
At the same time, Surna’s sword cut through one of Deena’s cheeks and became embedded in the backrest of the throne.
The wounds healed in an instant even before blood began to flow from Surna and Deanna’s cheeks.
But their expressions were opposite…
Surna laughed, and Deanna’s expression became even tighter.
Ludger took his eyes off the clash between the two and looked back at the twins.
“To be honest, all I have is bad feelings towards you…”
Now that there are no guys standing in our way, we can fight in earnest…
“But I’ll let you go quickly and painlessly…”
