Chapter 175. Shoulder to shoulder (1)
Teoong-!
A clear, high-pitched sound resounding all over the world.
At the same time, Cannavaro’s eyes widened.
‘…Kkeuk?’
My head was dizzy.
The floor and ceiling trembled.
Suddenly, the world went downhill.
Or did his body collapse?
Even the sensation of the cold floor hitting my face was far away.
‘what….’
Cannavaro thought he should get up.
He wriggled his body desperately.
He touched the ground with his hand.
But his attempts ended there.
Tuo-!
One more time.
A clear, sweet sound resounded throughout the world.
‘Broken.’
That was Cannavaro’s last cry before passing out.
Just like that, a grin spread over his collapsed body.
“That’s true. He’s tougher than he looks.”
Lloyd shook his head and looked down at Cannavaro.
he’s a toxic person
I didn’t know that he would wriggle and try to get up even after getting hit in the back of the head by the full swing of the steel shovel.
“Well then, just hit me one more time. Anyway.”
Lloyd raised his head.
I looked in the direction where Xaviel was.
“Can I help Miss Ella?”
Xaviel didn’t answer.
No, I couldn’t answer.
It was because he was still barely enduring the waves of Hell Knight.
However, in the midst of that, he sent Lloyd a happy look.
Lloyd noticed that too.
“okay. I’ll just deal with it here. Hold on a little.”
First of all, getting rid of hindsight is a priority.
To do so, you must completely subdue the sinister black magician.
With that in mind, Lloyd looked back.
“Kkoming?”
“Kkoming!”
To his call, an answer flew from the top of the loft in the public hall.
A large bird spread its wings and landed.
It was Kkoming who brought him to this place.
“know?”
“Kkoming!”
I didn’t even have to explain.
Lloyd pointed at the fallen Cannavaro.
Then Kkomingyi shook the bag on his back once.
Pushus!
Cobwebs, tougher and stronger than steel, were sprayed.
They tied Cannavaro’s hands, blocked his legs, and wrapped him up to his body.
Like a wild spider tying up its prey.
I wrapped Cannavaro more meticulously than 30 layers of bubble wrap.
That’s how the black magician was completely subdued.
Lloyd didn’t stop there.
“Hey hey.”
I helped the man who collapsed by Cannavaro’s side and breathed out.
I asked as I wiped the blood from the man’s neck.
“Can you move?”
“A little Joe….”
The man nodded his head with difficulty.
“Are you Prince Prontera? Nice to meet you…It is.”
“also. I wasn’t mistaken. Isn’t that the knight who came to our territory with the young lady, Nama?”
“you’re right.”
“Then you must recover a little faster than the others here?”
“of course…What?”
The answering knight sighed.
Lloyd’s hand on his shoulder.
It was because a small amount of mana flowed from the palm without warning.
“Wow. don’t be surprised I’ll put it in. I want you to take care of yourself.”
“why….”
“Why?”
Lloyd pointed in all directions with a wink.
“Can you see the fallen people?”
“yes.”
“Please move outside. It’s going to be more messy here.”
“All right.”
No complicated explanations were needed.
It was a knight who had already experienced the situation at the site from the beginning.
So far, fortunately, no citizens have been seriously injured by shrapnel or shockwaves.
However, there is no guarantee that such luck will follow in the future.
The knight struggled to raise himself.
Thanks to Lloyd’s hazy mind, he seemed to have regained some of his energy.
He said as he carried his daughter, an old woman nearby, and a middle-aged man all at once.
“Please be careful. I will fight with you soon.”
“I’m not looking forward to it. Please move people. I put mana in to do that, did you put in mana to fight?”
“…All right.”
“Quickly.”
“Yes yep.”
The knight moved hurriedly and began to move people out of the public hall.
Kkomingi also twitched his chubby buttocks and flapped his short wings to help the knight evacuate the citizens.
Only then did Lloyd catch his breath.
“Whoa.”
Now, the surroundings have been sorted out to some extent.
People will be able to fight without worrying about getting hurt.
So relieved, I fixed the steel shovel.
With her other hand, she grasped Cannavaro’s hair wrapped in cobwebs while he was fainting.
“Let’s begin.”
Dragging Cannavaro with one hand.
I walked toward the center of the vast public hall.
Xaviel and Hell Knight.
It was toward the scene where the fierce battle between the two transcendent beings was taking place.
In the meantime, Lloyd’s expression became a little complicated.
‘and. How did I come to this place?’
Truly a dragon and tiger.
Lloyd shrugged his shoulders as he watched Xaviel and Hell Knight fight while exploding shockwaves one after another.
I hate fighting.
never enjoyed it
As such, the original self was just Kim Soo-ho, an ordinary Korean citizen.
Since when did this happen?
Why did I get involved in this fight?
‘This is all about making a living.’
Now we have come too far to go back to the normal old days.
No, I have no intention of going back.
It was so heartbreaking.
He grabbed the steel shovel.
Inwardly, he measured the timing of the fierce battle.
And the moment Hell Knight was about to strike a powerful blow at Xaviel.
He raised the steel shovel.
He aimed at Cannavaro’s head.
determined and shouted loudly.
“there! Hell Night! stop moving! If you don’t stop, this guy will die by my hand!”
Lloyd’s cry, filled with mana and resonating more clearly, penetrated into the Hell Knight’s skull.
Maybe that was it.
– …!
There was a slight gap in the greatsword of the Hell Knight, which had been sprayed with strong power.
Of course, it wasn’t Xaviel who would miss that gap.
Tuck! Cacan!
The silver longsword cut through the cool light.
He slashed the black greatsword at once.
Thanks to this, Xaviel was able to safely get out of Hell Knight’s attack range.
After giving up the initiative in the fight earlier.
For the first time, I was able to take a break and catch my breath.
However, the Hell Knight’s eyes were not on Xaviel. He didn’t even show his regret for missing the enemy he was trying to capture.
Instead, he looked back at Lloyd, revealing his absurdity.
– what?
Hell Knight stared at Lloyd in disbelief.
In an instant, I flinched instinctively at the bloody gaze of hell. However, Lloyd quickly regained his composure and responded calmly.
“Didn’t you hear me? Did you shout that loud? Are you deaf because only bones remain?”
– …what do you want to say
“What are you saying? You said it earlier. If I don’t stop attacking, I’ll kill him.”
– Could it be a hostage situation? against me?
“huh.”
I nodded my head as if it were so obvious.
You’re confident as if you’re done now.
“Did this guy summon you? But if this guy dies at my hand, you’ll be summoned back to hell. Did you really think I wouldn’t know that?”
It was true.
Cannavaro was the one who summoned the Hell Knight.
He carved the statue with his own blood. Through the medium of that shamanistic mark, the Hell Knight descended into this world.
So what if Cannavaro dies?
The summoning of Hell Knight, which was made through the medium of Cannavaro’s blood, is also cancelled.
“Simple. It’s the same as the financial sector loan process. Here, Cannavaro vouched for it and took off the certificate with his own blood. That’s why the world granted your summons. But what about it? Cannavaro, who gave the guarantee, is dead? Then, how will your summons be handled?”
It’s really simple.
The guarantor is gone.
The warranty paperwork has also become a piece of paperwork.
Then, wouldn’t it be natural for the loan process to be cancelled?
“Then throw away that bloody sword and surrender. Unlike hell, if you want to breathe a little more air in this good world without fine dust.”
Lloyd’s confident threat echoed.
Hell Knight’s reply gave him absurdity.
– her. dare. Aren’t you a human?
“what?”
– No matter how you look at it, it’s because your words and actions would be more suitable for our hell. Could it be that he was expelled from hell and covered only with a human shell?
“Not at all. You misunderstood the person.”
– is it. But anyway, I get your point. But there seems to be something you are missing.
“Am I missing something?”
– Yes.
“what is that.”
– Even if that human dies, my summon will be canceled after an hour.
“what?”
That was the moment.
The Hell Knight raised his greatsword.
Too fast and sudden movements.
At the end of the sword strike, the aura of death gushed out like a tidal wave.
It swept through the air and attacked this side.
“…!”
Lloyd kicked the ground.
He pulled Cannavaro, who was entangled in the spider’s web, and threw himself away.
I barely escaped the tsunami-like momentum.
But the next moment he had to witness a black greatsword falling towards him.
– I’ll give you two pieces with the man who summoned me.
“uh?”
Whee ae ae ae-!
The greatsword cut through the air and fell.
It was so fast.
was strong
I didn’t even dare to lift a shovel to stop it.
It was to the point that I couldn’t even catch the timing to react before I thought about it.
If the silver longsword hadn’t intervened at that time, Lloyd might have been split in two.
Kwakkwagak-!
“…!”
A longsword stretched out in front of my eyes.
I raised the space vertically and blocked the greatsword as if slashing. knocked off Tuck! Could it be that the entire eardrum burst? Lloyd fell backwards at the roar that exploded overhead.
“Great!”
“Get up. If you don’t want to die.”
Xaviel’s cold voice flew into my ears.
Without even thinking about it, I got up.
Reflexively, he raised his shovel.
He quickly backed away and took up his stance.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Xaviel and aimed the shovel.
Toward the Hell Knight standing tall in front.
oh oh oh….
Did he swallow his saliva without realizing it?
Lloyd finally realized how enormous the Hell Knight was.
Faced in close quarters, the force was no joke.
He didn’t even get on his death horse, even though he was missing an arm and a leg.
‘This feels like a low level newbie who suddenly got involved in a high level fight.’
Goosebumps all over my body.
My whole body was tense.
The palm holding the steel shovel instantly became damp.
I had no intention of getting into a fight this deeply.
I was just trying to help Xaviel with Yabawi and Blast from afar.
“Perhaps Lloyd-sama was regarded as our weakness.”
I heard Xaviel’s voice.
Lloyd laughed hard.
“know. It seems so.”
They will probably attack me intensively.
Then Xaviel will do his best to protect me.
‘That’s how I’m going to create a gap on this side. Just like focusing on only the cracks in the dam. Just as the entire dam collapses because of a small hole. I’m not saying you’re going to deal with both of us at once.’
He seemed to understand the Hell Knight’s intentions.
But now it seemed too late to step out.
“Don’t be quick to back down. You are already in range of attack from the other side. If you get away from me by clumsily backing away from the fight, you will be defeated in an instant.”
“know. I know.”
“Then apologize.”
“What is an apple?”
“You called me Miss Ella earlier.”
“okay. Sorry. I apologize. Our Xaviel is nice.”
“….”
“Now then, maybe I can be.”
“Hold on.”
“what?”
“coming.”
It was the moment the words ended.
Whoaaaaang-!
Is this what it would feel like to be hit head-on by a typhoon?
Jumping on one leg, the Hell Knight rushed.
He swung a huge greatsword horizontally.
no it swept away
‘That’s right!’
This shouldn’t be confronted head-on.
Then, with the shovel, it breaks in two.
Sensing this, Lloyd ran forward instead.
He stretched out his shovel toward the greatsword that swept through him.
And without measure, he unleashed his most powerful blow.
It was a triple blast.
Tuquahak-!
– …!
The power of the moment was truly an enormous triple blast.
The sudden eruption collided head-on with the greatsword.
However, the greatsword was not pushed away.
Rather, it cut through the momentum of the triple blast and penetrated.
Snug!
The greatsword completely split the triple blast in two.
However, Lloyd’s body could not be cut.
The swing of the greatsword, which was slightly blunted by the pressure of the triple blast.
It was because Lloyd used the gap to roll his body low.
“now!”
Rolling under the swinging greatsword, Lloyd shouted.
At the same time he stretched out both hands.
He hugged Hell Knight’s pelvis and legs.
The Hell Knight’s balance was shaken very slightly.
At that moment, Xaviel’s longsword flashed coolly.
Tucker-!
The longsword filled with aura pierced the greatsword in half.
Hell Knight tried to shake Lloyd off his leg.
But I couldn’t.
It was because Xaviel’s continuous attacks were pouring down without a chance to breathe.
Quarter tutter tutter!
– …!
At the bottom, a leech-like human clung to it.
From the top, a knight who surpassed the Sword Master rushed with determination.
Hell Knight’s eyes shook slightly.
Things took a turn for the worse for the Hell Knights.
Lloyd hugged her legs tightly from below.
Because he suddenly poured out an endless medley of strange incantatory calls.
“you are! A person born to be loved! in your life! He is loved!”
– …!
Hell Knight’s eyes shook even more.
In front of them, Xaviel’s sword strikes rained down like bombs.
Below, a strange song that coils around your hearing like brainwashing.
He gave Hell Knight a double whammy riding on the dissonant vibe.
Even the attacks of the two opposite personalities were endless.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
Seizing the opportunity, Xaviel made up his mind and launched an all-out offensive.
The medley of Lloyd’s exorcism song (?) also became more organized.
“Mahavanya! look up! heart! Take care of the crown material! Haengsim Banya Paramita again! Birds! Oh On Gaekong!
– …Whoops!
What kind of bizarre spell is this?
Hell Knight fell into even greater confusion.
Of course, there was no real blow from that song.
However, my mind was very distracted and dizzy.
Even so, it was a situation where he was subjected to Xaviel’s wave of attacks.
It was a situation where I had to put all my strength to prevent it.
However, the guy holding his one and only leg like a leech sang grotesque spells at will, and he was about to go crazy and jump up and down.
Even the pitch of that human who invoked witchcraft was the worst.
Is this the sound of scratching an iron plate with your fingernails?
Or is it the sound of a cicada clinging to the lobe of the ear?
Leaving aside the noise, there was literally no dissonance.
Yes.
Lloyd was so tone-deaf that even the knights of hell could really get away with it.
– …stop!
In the end, Hell Knight, who couldn’t stand it any more, shook his head violently.
He kicked the ground with his leg held by Lloyd.
Even so, he tried to shake off Lloyd.
That was Hell Knight’s mistake.
Snug!
– …!
Into the gap where the hell knight’s attention was distracted for a moment.
A silver longsword containing an aura dug into the Hell Knight’s skull.
