Episode 412: My mother died when I was very young, a time when I couldn’t even remember anything, when I was barely able to distinguish objects and perceive the world.
It was not a natural death for a divine beast who was buried in the world and disappeared when the power of his wish was exhausted. He was murdered.
And right before he himself died at the hands of those enemies, he was saved by a ‘friend’.
– Ki-i-ing.
It was that friend who took care of Shinsu as he cried while holding on to his mother’s dying body.
– Black snake. These are my enemies. And now I will become your enemy.
– Pfft…
I helped my friend hunt them down. I was so young back then that all I could do was smell and track souls.
My friend said that was enough, but I wasn’t satisfied. That’s why I accepted my friend’s ridiculous suggestion.
– It will easily surpass a thousand years. It could last longer than that. Are you okay?
– Kkkkkkkk!
I thought it was okay. At that time, it was already very difficult to find traces of the black snakes.
The friend was so strong that they hid in every corner of the world.
So much so that you can’t even smell yourself.
My friend did the same, but the resentment built up in my small and weak heart could not be resolved by that amount.
That’s why I chose sealing.
But my friend’s prediction was wrong.
– What?
When I felt a slight shaking and woke up from a long sleep, all around me was a lump of disgusting demon energy. There was no human to be seen anywhere who could make a wish while looking at the divine tree and convey the power of wishing.
Still, I endured it while the sun and moon rose and set about a hundred times. I had no doubt that another friend, whom my friend had mentioned, would come and take me away and that I would be able to hunt black snakes again.
However, it was impossible for Tyr, who was still young, to endure much longer without receiving the power of desire. In order to survive, I had no choice but to swallow the essence of the power of desire that my friend said was a gift for another friend.
So, I suffered from guilt for a while.
– I waited a long time.
– Those who are late are bad.
I waited again, thinking of excuses.
The sun rose and set again hundreds of times in vain.
However, the friend I was talking about never showed up.
– Did my friend trick me?
At first, I trembled with a sense of betrayal.
And later, I cried out of loneliness.
The essence of desire left behind by a friend was large and powerful enough to help Shinsu grow, but it could not relieve his mental loneliness.
Then his eyes returned to the unpleasant creatures around him.
Sticky Maggi. Things that contain a similar type of power as some of those black snake guys had.
It was annoying.
Tired of the long wait and loneliness, Tyr hunted them down. Whenever I felt lonely or abandoned by my friends, I spent my time hunting down those unpleasant things.
Countless years passed like that.
At some point, Magi became too thick for me.
Now, just as I was starting to get confused as to whether I was a divine beast or a demonic beast, I felt a nostalgic energy within my realm that I had only dreamed of.
– A friend has come to visit!
Wow!
I ran after a month, but what appeared was another infinitely weak person who only had a similar energy to my friend.
– Could this be the other friend my friend was talking about?
As I looked at the paper my friend left for a while, it seemed like it was right.
So I followed my friend.
Recalling memories from long ago, hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
When I arrived at my friend’s house and saw a human with the scent of a black snake, an old grudge came to mind.
I almost had a seizure for a moment, but I was able to hold it in.
Because my new friend told me to hold on.
And from then on, the resentment I thought I had forgotten began to creep back to life. Even though he doubted his friend’s words that he would find them if he stayed with him, he got involved in a fight over the territory of humans.
But now.
Black snakes with a scent stronger than ever appeared before my eyes.
“Kwaaaaang!”
The moment the three-headed, bull-sized wolf howled, a wave of dark red light swept over the castle walls.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Aaaah!”
“Save me!”
A laser breath that devastates the battlefield in an instant.
However, the black snakes that were the target had all avoided it.
Enemies are scattered around and attacking you.
It was only after Tyr recognized their attack that he realized that he had been hasty.
I was also angry. It was because it seemed like the guys who had attacked their mother all those years ago had appeared before their eyes again.
At the same time, I also remembered how the big and strong mother fell.
There was no need for an unnecessarily large body to deal with small humans.
Slurp.
The once huge size has shrunk to less than half.
There was no need to reduce it further.
Even if one’s power comes from the power of desire and demonic energy rather than the body, if the body is too small, the output will be hindered.
Just like this.
bang!
Rumbling.
thud.
It was sufficient to inflict damage on the enemy.
“Krrr.”
This feeling of hitting.
Tyr enjoyed the shiver that ran up his spine.
Now you can really fight your enemies.
My eyes rolled over at the pleasure.
“Check Shinsu.”
“It’s like a demonic beast.”
“Variable meaningless. As planned.”
I didn’t really care that the six guys were muttering strangely.
A fierce battle with a black snake.
He was just happy that he could punish his enemies on his own without the help of his friends.
I was confident.
Because they had been capturing demonic beasts from the demonic forest for countless years, a price estimate was obtained with just one exchange of beasts.
– I am stronger.
But there was something a little unexpected.
The speed and strength of each of them is similar to the ones I dealt with not long ago.
With six people, it might have been a bit overwhelming, but it wasn’t.
Grumbling.
Kwaaaaang!
Skag.
I was a little concerned about the dark red knife, but I was able to avoid it.
Among the Shinsu clan, he was a Heavenly Dragon who controlled the power of space and was able to move through space over short distances as if he were breathing.
So you will never be able to harm yourself. That’s what I thought.
But…
wow.
“Shinsu.”
“hunt.”
“Initiate.”
The dark red energy that emanated from their swords along with strange words interfered with the use of power.
The energy of two of the six bounded his entire body, and the energy of the remaining four began to pressure him.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
bang!
“Krrrrr”
The moment I stumbled from the impact of hitting my side, another memory of when my mother fell came to mind.
– Power blockade.
It was the way they hunted Shinsoo.
Why didn’t I think of this earlier?
I instantly shook off the dirty feeling and moved my body faster, but I couldn’t help but gradually feel pushed back.
Kwaaaaang!
“Kung!”
I got nervous.
After receiving several blows, Tyr forgot Logan’s instructions and decided to return to the main body. I felt like I could do anything once I broke this bondage.
“transform.”
“do.”
“Self-weight.”
However, I could see them slowing down their attack with their eyes shining.
This was the moment when Tyr, who was slightly concerned about this, paused.
Skag.
With a light cutting sound, the arm of one of the guys blocking Tyr’s movements fell.
“enemy!?”
bang!
A blue-haired, single-eyed man with flashing gray aura appears.
The two black knights who had tied Tyr up, including the one with the severed arm, turned to face the newly appeared enemy.
Tyr, who saw this, stopped trying to transform and began attacking the enemies again in his original form.
‘What are these guys?’
Victor felt embarrassed by the impact of being struck from the front and barely managed to keep his balance.
It was a feat to cut off the arm of one of the guys emitting strange energy during the first attack.
But the reaction after that was very strange.
A guy who casually hits himself with his other arm, as if he knew his arm would be cut off.
If he had known, it wouldn’t have made sense to wait until his arm was cut off, and his response was too quick to say he didn’t know. It’s as if there are instructions engraved on my body telling me to act this way in such situations.
The question of whether it was possible to repeatedly learn the arm-dropping situation filled Viktor’s mind for a moment, but he soon emptied his mind as he saw the dark red auror approaching.
“bout!”
There are two guys running towards him, including the guy with the arm cut off.
It was a reasonable choice.
One intermediate level Auror user has two intermediate levels.
of course.
‘By your standards.’
As Victor fought battles, he thought about how to use his characteristics most effectively.
Endless regenerative power. It sounds good, but in the end, it only means faster recovery from wounds. Although it was useful to have a powerful force compared to its peers with overflowing vitality, its effectiveness in battle could be said to be low compared to the seven souls of its friend Ronian or the indomitable fortress of the queen.
In the end, he found a way to make up for his shortcomings in firepower through his overflowing resilience.
“Taap!”
Ugh.
The gray aura extending from Viktor’s sword cut straight ahead 30 meters.
Divine Sword Vision Type 3: Splitting the Earth.
The moment I aimed my sword again at the enemy who had bounced away, a beam of gray condensed light shot like lightning towards the chest of the guy who lost his arm.
Shinsword Vision Type 2: Cuts metal.
Wow!
And on top of the other guy running toward the gap, waves of gray aura poured out from his entire body.
Shingeom Vision Type 1: Splitting the waves.
The gray giant’s sword swung again at the enemies that had bounced away.
With the intention of destroying them both with one attack.
Wow!
This was the best attack method he came up with.
A chain of divine sword arcane powers that consumes power in one blow without any distribution of power.
However, enemies who did not know this situation could not help but be embarrassed by the attack power that exceeded the known level.
“more.”
“do.”
The voice was completely normal compared to the amount of blood flowing down from under the helmet.
Viktor wondered if they were just pretending to be hurt.
Also….
‘Why do two people share a word?’
When I once again bounced off the enemies, which seemed bizarre, with a blue charm, the enemies that had fallen to the left and right stood up staggeringly.
“more.”
“variable.”
And yet, what he says is just creepy.
“Are you the only ones going to do it?”
Victor shouted with an expression of exhaustion and looked at the battlefield next to him.
Fortunately, the remaining four of these strange creatures were still attached to Tyr, but the situation was completely different. It was clearly felt that Tyr, who had been pushed back, was beginning to overwhelm his enemies.
‘you can do it!’
I finish quickly and go to help Ronian.
Viktor began to push them back with all his might again.
but.
The Black Knights were blocking Viktor and Tyr’s attacks with exquisite coordination, as if they were telepathically communicating with each other.
The guy who was dealing with Tyr suddenly jumps out and blocks Viktor’s attack, or vice versa.
It was as if the most suitable players at that time jumped out and continued the attack and defense as one body.
Rather, Viktor and Tyr’s movements became tangled and several opportunities were missed, so Viktor had no choice but to grit his teeth.
“What on earth are these!?”
“Krrrrr.”
As the strange situation continued where the side that won the game became irritated, the reaction of the black knights changed at some point.
“Activity time.”
“Limit.”
“The final move.”
A few of them muttered something again, and soon their movements began to change rapidly.
Kwasik.
A guy who doesn’t avoid Tyr’s teeth even when they dig into his neck.
Fuuuuk.
A guy who doesn’t dodge even when Viktor’s blade pierces his chest.
And at that moment, the dark red aura that surged from the bodies of those two guys bound the bodies of Viktor and Tyr.
“now.”
“am.”
The moment when the voices of those who coughed up blood flowed through their helmets.
“Emperor.”
“your majesty.”
“hurray.”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The roar of a corner of the castle wall collapsing filled the battlefield of Fortress Armor.
Rumbling.
‘what!?’
Before he knew it, Ronian’s blood-soaked eyes turned to the source of the noise.
Fortunately, the attention of the two superhumans who had been pushing him when he lost strength also returned there.
And it was truly an unprecedented luck that the source of the noise was behind them in front of Ronian.
‘opportunity!’
Wooooow.
At that moment, Ronian gathered all his remaining energy and put it into his sword.
The strongest blow he can do now, which he managed to master not long ago.
The orange aura contained in the beloved sword Mane split into seven pieces in an instant, staining the entire front with its own color.
Flashing.
Divine Sword Vision Type 6 Root Split 7 stacks.
“Get lost!”
The sunset-colored aura emanating from the sword covered the castle walls.
The empire’s superhumans, who belatedly realized their mistake, hurriedly swung their axes and swords, but the auror blades they held out were swallowed up by the orange light that covered the space they were in.
Wow!
Binge drinking that followed later.
At the same time, someone flew out of the castle wall.
Red eyes followed the person who fell down the castle wall with a limp body as if he had lost consciousness.
‘Is he dead? ‘Did he survive?’
Should I say he was quick to judge or unlucky that he used his colleagues as a shield in the end?
Ronian frowned, but didn’t have the strength to chase after him.
“Off.”
The exhilarating pain I felt from my heart suggested unusual internal injuries, but it was worth enduring.
It was a victory against two high-level Auror users.
While I was in a daze, it didn’t really matter whether one of the two was alive or dead.
I’m just more curious about the explosion that caught my eye earlier.
‘Tir Viktor… I guess he didn’t get hit.’
Ronian’s anxious gaze turned to the source of the explosion.
