Chapter 174. Iron Blood Vs Hell (2)
Kood Deuk! Good luck…!
An ominous sound spread through the public hall.
Hell Knight’s bones stood up.
I was swept away by a wave of black magic.
As if he had received the protection of immortality.
As if the things that were broken and collapsed were lies.
Legs, pelvic vertebrae, ribs, scapulae, and cervical vertebrae were assembled sequentially. Glossy black armor covered the entire body. The helmet was put on.
Quadduk!
Red eyes glowing in the helmet.
At the same time, the Hell Knight stretched out his only arm forward.
The huge two-handed sword that had fallen to the floor floated into the air and was caught in my hand.
The mana of ferocious force burned from the huge sword.
At the same time, laughter erupted from Cannavaro’s mouth.
“ha ha ha! ha ha ha!”
It was Cannavaro, who was sitting on the floor.
He quickly crawled back and away from Xaviel.
“Hell knight! Punish the enemy! hurry!”
Cannavaro’s shrill cry shook the public hall.
Everyone in the public hall responded to that cry.
The fallen citizens raised their heads with difficulty.
I looked at Cannavaro in a terrible dizziness.
The eyes of such citizens were filled with feelings of deep disappointment, betrayal, and hatred.
A benevolent philanthropist who was once the pride of the city.
Now he is an immoral man who has thrown off his mask.
However, Cannavaro calmly ignored everyone’s gaze. no i didn’t even care He was staring at the resurrected Hell Knight in front of him with eager eyes.
“Hell’s Knight!”
His vomited cry erupted again.
At that sound, Hell Knight drew his sword.
Xaviel was already aiming his sword at Hell Knight.
hold on for a while
The clash began without a sound.
…!
Jjakeong!
A shockwave exploded before the sound.
It swept the inside of the public hall.
Everyone on the floor was swept away by the shock wave and rolled like fallen leaves.
In between, Xaviel and Hell Knight got entangled and then fell apart.
It fell and crashed again.
Tuck! right!
Xaviel’s arms raised the longsword.
I laid the sword body sideways above my head.
Both wrists moved at a subtle angle.
The blade of the longsword quickly drew a horizontal semicircle.
The flash rushed towards the side of the Hell Knight.
Tsukeng!
The Hell Knight’s greatsword blocked the longsword.
But at that moment, Xaviel took advantage of the counter-resilience created by the blockage of the sword.
The power that bounced off the defense was put into the long sword as it was.
His two wrists raised above his head moved at a subtle angle again.
holding the handle with both hands.
With the back of the left hand as an axis, the right hand rotated horizontally clockwise.
The longsword rotated in a horizontal arc overhead.
And then it flashed and flew away.
It was towards the side of the head on the other side of Hell Knight.
“…!”
Hell Knight hurriedly threw his head back.
Part of the helmet was cut off by the silver aura.
At the same time, Hell Knight launched a counterattack.
The black greatsword swept through the space with power that overwhelms technique and skill.
Toggle!
The floor of the public hall was cracked by the intense blow.
Pillars swayed and girders cracked.
Numerous fragments flew at a lethal speed.
Most of them attacked Xaviel.
Some flew towards the citizens.
Xaviel’s eyes flashed.
“…!”
Tsukakak!
The silver longsword split, split, and slashed through space at an imperceptible speed.
Dozens of fragments turned to dust in the air.
Javiel rushed through the powder.
The silver longsword became fangs as it was.
It was from then.
Quarter tutter tutter!
If the longsword was a lethal fang, the hellknight’s black greatsword was a literal weapon.
The Sword Master and the Knight of Hell burst out with all their murderous intentions towards each other.
Like two white and black beasts biting each other.
Just as light and darkness pierce each other’s hearts.
Xaviel and Hell Knight dropped everything and clashed.
When Xaviel stabbed, Hell Knight cut.
When Hell Knight slashed, Xaviel struck.
If you get hit, run away.
If you run, you spill it.
If it spills, take it down.
When I shot it down, it responded by lifting it up.
Kwaaang-!
A sharp black greatsword.
A raised silver longsword.
The two deadly weapons collided again in the air. Blocked each other’s rush. confronted A shockwave that explodes without hesitation. Even in that, he did not back down. Standing still, they competed against each other.
Kaga gagak-!
The black greatsword pressed down.
The silver longsword held out.
Intense friction that takes place as they encounter each other.
The gazes of Xaviel and Hell Knight intertwined between the sparks that flew on the blade.
The eyes in the helmet of the Hell Knight shimmered even more red.
– You’re strong, man.
“….”
– I am Geolexius, the 1st Corps Commander who assists the ruler of Hell. It would have been better if the summoning had been done with my body intact. Nonetheless, it is truly a thrilling match that exceeds expectations. So I would like to know the name of your human knight.
“Haviel Asrahan.”
– Nice to meet you, Lord Asrahan. I hope you will fight harder.
“after. I’m not happy with this fight.”
A contest of strength with each other’s strength.
With the blade between them, Xaviel spat out in response.
The Hell Knight tilted his skull.
– why?
“Who is willing to welcome a battle full of burdens?”
A laugh lingered on the corner of Xaviel’s lips.
It’s funny even when you say it yourself.
But it was sincere.
There is no one in the world who is happy to fight with a lot of responsibility.
If I can avoid it, I just want to avoid it.
But because it has to be done.
Because there is an unavoidable reason.
So you’re fighting
It was just heavy.
Even while they were talking like this, the power of the Hell Knight’s greatsword was getting stronger and stronger.
It was a shame.
‘Can I protect people like this?’
I was worried.
I saw fallen citizens.
Pushed by successive shockwaves, it was scattered all over the public hall as if leaning against the wall.
None of them seemed to be able to stand up fully. In other words, it meant that no one could escape on their own from this place.
So, there was only one thing he could do.
to fight.
to win.
That would be the only way to protect people.
‘like this!’
Kagagak!
The tip of the longsword was momentarily tilted low.
A slope developed along the lowered tip of the sword.
The greatsword that had been pressed down from above slipped.
It descended along the suddenly formed slope, splashing wild sparks.
– …!
Hell Knight’s eyes shook.
A situation that has been pushed down with power.
Before he could recover his strength, the greatsword flew to the side.
Xaviel’s right hand rose abruptly through the gap created.
Suddenly, a dagger was clutched in his hand.
right!
Blasts were fired from the dagger.
He aimed at the Hell Knight’s chin and rushed.
– …That’s it!
Hell Knight hurriedly tilted his head back.
Of course, he wasn’t just being called Hell Knight.
Quaang!
I hit Xaviel with my shoulder.
There was a blow as if it was being hit with a rock.
It was from then.
Xaviel and Hellknight were once again entangled like beasts in the arena.
No, it was a moment to be wildly entangled.
“there! Look this way!”
A shrill cry broke through the fight.
It was Cannavaro’s voice.
Quaang-!
Longswords and black greatswords clashing in the air.
In the meantime, Xaviel’s eyes moved slightly.
I quickly glanced in the direction from which the call came.
And it shook a little in surprise.
Cannavaro.
A person who was once respected in the city as a philanthropist.
Even Xaviel was the one who stuck out his tongue saying that he had never seen such a personality.
It was because I had witnessed the hostage-taking he was doing.
“If you’re going to continue that fight, you’d better reconsider. Drop the sword! If you don’t, I’ll decapitate the worms here one by one!”
Cannavaro was grinning.
One hand was holding a man’s hair.
The other hand was holding a dagger.
The sharp blue dagger pierced the man’s neck lightly. Red blood ran down the back of his neck.
The little girl who was lying on the floor cried out.
“Dad!”
“Big…Awesome! It’s okay. Dad is fine.”
The man tried to calm his young daughter as he was bleeding from his neck.
A sneer bloomed on Cannavaro’s lips.
“What is okay? shut up If you don’t want to be decapitated alive.”
“Ugh…Oops!”
The dagger moved slightly to the side.
The skin on the nape of the man’s neck was torn, and more blood flowed.
Cannavaro’s eyes turned to Xaviel.
“You saw it? count to three It gives you time to think. If you don’t throw away the sword after that, you will see this worm decapitated in front of your daughter.”
“….”
Xaviel didn’t answer.
Without a word, the intense battle with Hell Knight continued.
However, even during that time, her pupils constantly looked at Cannavaro and the man who became a hostage.
Are you worried?
It must be painful.
A twisted smile hung on Cannavaro’s lips.
‘Then throw away the sword! hurry!’
He was quite certain.
That guy will throw away his sword.
why?
Because he is a famous knight in the kingdom.
Because he is a rising and promising sword master.
‘Is that right? Sir Xaviel Asrahan.’
A knight so famous would value honor.
He will hardly ever give up hostages.
I will give in to the hostage-taking and lay down my sword.
That’s important.
‘I’m going to get rid of him immediately and restore the barrier.’
The barrier needs to be repaired.
Then you can collect mana again.
If you scrape up the last handful of citizens’ vitality.
You can fix all of the Hell Knight’s flaws and transform him into a perfect being.
Then, during the month of Hell Knight’s summoning, almost all the territory of this kingdom will be devastated.
What if the subjugation army comes?
You can crush it too.
If it is a Hell Knight with full power, it is possible.
It is also possible to decapitate the king, who is a sword master.
To destroy the royal family full of hypocrisy and open a new one.
That long-cherished dream will come true.
‘Then throw away the sword. hurry!’
Cannavaro gave strength to his eyes, which were excited with heat.
I prepared for the next action Xaviel would show me.
If you just throw away the sword.
I immediately cut the neck of the bug caught in my hand.
While he is flustered, he will use black magic to help Hell Knight fight.
Then the one who threw away the sword will be helpless….
It was then.
Accurate-!
blasts flew
“…!”
Cannavaro’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Finally he realized the situation.
‘That crazy guy!’
Didn’t drop the sword.
Instead, he launched a relentless attack without saying a word.
‘Geez!’
Cannavaro’s heart beat urgently.
There was no time to think.
fell backwards.
He held out his hand at the same time.
Activated defense magic.
Jjak-!
Before half of the magic was activated, blasts attacked him. It broke the defensive magic and blew off the tips of his index and middle fingers.
narrowly passed him by.
Hit the wall of the public hall. penetrated
“…Kkeaaaaagh!”
Cannavaro, who suddenly lost his knuckles, clutched his hand and rolled.
Xaviel’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Tsk.”
It’s a failure.
I tried to pierce your heart at once.
missed one another
It was in the middle of a breathless battle with Hell Knight.
In the meantime, it was because the blast was fired in an instant.
Your aim was inaccurate.
couldn’t kill him
It was all I could barely do with my fingers.
So close. I was nervous.
‘I should have just finished off him once and for all.’
It suffered huge losses on two fronts.
One is that he will be wary of blasting.
Therefore, the same method would not be able to stop the hostage taking.
Another one….
Tuquaaang-!
“…Quit!”
Xaviel struggled to block the greatsword that came flying like a blow.
A bitter smile crept across his lips.
‘It’s just an opponent I thought I could fight with all my might.’
In the gaps in the breathless workshop, blasts were fired elsewhere. To subdue Cannavaro. It was brief, but I had to ignore the hell knight in front of me.
In return, I got a second loss.
The balance of the tense battle was broken.
Quaang-! Kwak Kwak! Kwajik-!
Blast shot in a different place just once.
That much wasted action.
Because of that one waste, the initiative of the offensive completely passed to the Hell Knights.
The initiative of movement was taken away.
breath and flow.
direction of the void.
I gave up all the half-beat timing to lead it.
It was difficult to find again.
It was because Hell Knight, who intuited that the flow had passed to him, poured out a wave of offensive attacks.
Bang! Tuck! Kwak Kwak!
Smash down, break, dig in, strike and crush.
Instead of minor techniques, they push through with overwhelming power and momentum.
In front of that devastating wave of attacks, Xaviel was driven to the corner of the public hall every moment.
It was difficult to find a gap for a counterattack.
Did you try to strike back recklessly?
It was clear that it would only result in giving away the bones and taking the flesh.
As much as that, Hell Knight’s offensive was destructive, but there was no gap to be thorough.
Besides, the situation got worse and worse.
“nice…Ha ha ha! Hehehe! You bastard! Did you know that such a number would work!”
Cannavaro, who had been knocked down, stood up.
Bleeding profusely from the severed finger.
I picked up the dagger I had missed.
He also grabbed the hostage’s hair.
Again, he aimed the dagger at the man’s neck.
This time, he had completely covered himself with the man’s body.
“Now, I command you again. Drop the sword!”
An angry cry reverberated through the public hall.
Xaviel’s expression darkened after he was forced to defend himself and was barely holding on.
In the current state, I couldn’t even dream of blasting like before.
What if you throw away the sword?
The Hell Knight’s greatsword will split his body.
‘What should I do?’
Xaviel’s eyes wavered.
Do we have to watch hostages die in order to keep fighting?
Should I throw away my sword to save that hostage?
It was confusing.
Which one is the right decision?
Of course, I knew it would be beneficial to continue fighting.
However, the burden on my heart was enormous when I was willing to choose it.
A man with blood dripping from his neck while being held.
Little daughter crying while watching such a father.
A selfish self who ponders whether to continue fighting in front of that figure.
‘How should I….’
Xaviel’s lips turned pale.
Cannavaro’s smile was filled with a premonition of victory.
“Count to three again!”
Xaviel’s shoulders twitched.
I looked at Cannavaro with urgent eyes.
wait for a sec.
“three!”
please.
“two!”
stop.
“under…!”
Turong-!
suddenly.
In the back of Cannavaro’s head.
A clear, sweet sound resounded throughout the world.
At the same time, Cannavaro’s cry ceased.
“…Queue?”
His eyes turned white.
body twisted.
My legs are limp.
It collapsed as if toppled over.
Lloyd appeared behind him.
Holding onto the steel shovel he swung in full swing.
He shrugged his shoulders at Xaviel.
“Lady Ella, do you need help?”
