Chapter 392. Operation name, Battle of Seongsu (1)
– Lloyd Frontera’s…death!
– Frontera Territory…downfall!
– Kim Soo-ho’s…ruin!
This is across from Hellgate.
A hell full of flames.
The Hell Knights were roaring.
Mounted on a hellish warhorse more ferocious than an ogre.
My whole body trembled with excitement at the thought of being drenched in the blood of humans and terrestrial creatures from now on.
The same was true of Lord Callidus, the commander of the 2nd Corps of Hell.
‘Is it today? To welcome a new commander.’
He remembered the plan of his master, the King of Hell.
He said he would bring in Kim Su-ho, a human on earth.
Did he tell that human being that he would pass down the position of commander-in-chief, a man of hell and a man of all people?
Did you say that you would delegate full authority over the operation of Hell?
How surprised I was when I first heard the plan.
I dared to object.
However, the will of the master could not be broken.
I didn’t know that the day would come when I would live and live and take a mere human as my boss.
– But I can’t help it.
Because it is the will of the lord.
It is the will of the great Lord of Hell.
He is just a sword that moves according to his master’s wishes.
Sreung clap!
Hell Knight Sir Callidus pulled out his twin swords.
At the most inauspicious moment, the black twin swords forged from the devil’s bones vomited bleak madness.
Seeing that, Lord Callidus made a promise.
If it is to serve a human being as a superior.
He said he would take his life.
He said he would surely cut his throat and hang it high on a pole.
That it would be his own welcome to his new boss.
With a promise engraved on his bones, Lord Callidus moved on.
Following the procession of advance corps Hell Knights charging ahead.
Stepped into Hell Gate, the passageway of Hell.
Whoop-!
After passing through the Hell Gate, the air changed in an instant.
The fragrant, acrid air of the flames of hell disappeared.
Instead, an unpleasantly clear, refreshing air passed over the helmet.
‘Tsk. It’s a terrible place.’
After passing through the Hell Gate, Lord Callidus jumped down.
The gravity of the strange world pulled him to the ground 100 meters below.
A brief moment of free fall.
Lord Callidus quickly scanned the nearby ground.
‘I can’t see anyone either. Are you still unaware of our movements?’
Perhaps.
It was planned in hell from the beginning.
It was impossible for humans on the ground to know about it.
‘Of course, since the lord dwells in the body of the lich as an incarnation, he hasn’t been able to observe the dynamics of the ground for a while.’
Nonetheless, nothing will change.
Today, all humans here will be slaughtered.
– Right in this hand!
With a bloody cry, Lord Callidus landed.
No, I was mistaken for landing.
The moment I tried to touch the ground.
He fell into deep, cold water.
Fondant!
– Cuff up?
Lord Callidus felt bewildered.
All in all, deep water under Hellgate.
He snapped his jawbone.
‘It’s fair. Did the Hell Gate open over the river?’
It seemed that way.
But I thought it didn’t matter.
It’s enough to just swim in a river like this and go outside.
Anyway, Hell Knight has nothing to do with drowning.
‘So just….’
It was then.
Chiyiyiik-!
Suddenly, so out of the blue and without hesitation.
My whole body became extremely hot.
At the same time, it became bitterly cold.
no, it hurt
as if struck by lightning.
Or like being crushed by a huge rock.
Endless pain has seized the whole body without mercy!
– ugh…Whoa!
Lord Callidus twisted his whole body involuntarily.
Every bone in his body screamed in pain and horror.
Only then did Lord Callidus realize.
That the water you have lost is not just water.
So this is….
‘Seo Sung-soo? Heh heh heh!’
Chii Iik-!
The Holy Water rubbed Lord Callidus’ body in real time.
Lord Callidus trembled and convulsed in pain.
It wasn’t just holy water.
It was a special holy water made from the tears of a third-class left angel.
Sir Callidus, who dived into the holy water pool without knowing anything.
The other Vanguard Hell Knights who jumped ahead and behind.
All of them struggled in the holy water pool and danced the lamprey ascension dance.
That number increased in real time.
ten twenty thirty….
Only at that point did Lord Callidus overcome the pain and barely exclaim.
– here! There is a pond made of holy water.
Shouts of fury and hatred echoed through the air.
reached Hellgate.
The Hell Knight, who was just passing through the Hell Gate, flinched.
Finally, I checked the ground properly.
Then he told his colleagues in line behind him.
– There is a holy water pond under the gate, so run far and pass!
It was from then.
Accurate-!
The Hell Knights passed through the gate as if they were doing a long jump.
It crossed the air and landed in a parabolic arc instead of vertical.
Of course, another holy water pool welcomed them there too.
Fondant! Fondant!
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
All of a sudden, the Hell Knights who had been pickled in holy water (?) let out a roar of pain and anger.
But their suffering did not end there.
During the humiliating forced holy water experience.
In a way, a grotesque and grotesque singing sound that was more painful than holy water came flying. devastated their hearing.
“Fondant! Fondant! Let’s throw stones↗! Throw stones without your sister knowing!”
– What’s that?
“River! Spread it! Spread far and wide↗ Spread it!”
Fondant! Fondant! with a splash!
A terrible harmony flying from somewhere.
I put a lot of effort into singing it, but the beeping is mixed in, which makes it even more annoying and the cochlea gets dirty!
Even the rootless vibration that makes the heart beat so much that it can’t even ring in the strange off-beat beat!
“Our Nuu↘Na↗! the back of your hand! Tickle me a↗ah↘ah↗! Dandadan!”
Fondant!
Riding on terrible harmonies and beats.
The Hell Knights were forced to dive into the holy water pool as if possessed by the 3,000 court ladies.
At the same time, the Hell Knights realized.
– …Kim Suho!
– It’s him!
– He’s nearby!
The eyes of the Hell Knights, who had fallen into the holy water pool and struggled in pain, burned blue.
Now they were no longer floundering helplessly.
– Suho Kim…our goal!
– kill!
The first target of the invasion was Kim Soo-ho.
The guy was nearby.
I couldn’t just let it go.
He said that he would make the best major of the day.
The neck of that detestable human must be his berry.
So, I will be recognized by my lord for my ability and I will engrave my name as a legendary hell knight that makes the whole hell tremble with fear.
That honor should be yours.
All the Hell Knights thought.
– Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Lord Callidus, the commander of the 2nd Corps of Hell, stopped struggling.
It sank to the bottom of the holy water pool in an instant.
kicked the floor
Accurate-!
Jumped through the surface of the water.
I got out of the holy water pool at once.
Finally, I was able to roll onto the ground.
– omg…! Huh! Whoops!
However, the pain caused by the holy water was short-lived.
‘It’s like holy water!’
It’s just a little smeared on the outside of the bone.
It is not that the holy water has permeated into the marrow.
So, you have to endure the pain.
It’s never to the point where you can’t fight.
– Wow!
Lord Callidus roared and touched the ground with his twin swords.
He stood up and cast his eye-lights around.
and caught
A human figure singing in the distance.
– Kim Soo-ho!
The moment Lord Callidus shouted.
Part of his armor was transformed into an infernal steed.
I rode the hell steed.
He rushed towards Lloyd in the distance.
It was the same with the other Hell Knights who came out of the holy water pool afterwards.
Almost all of the Hell Knights rushed towards Lloyd’s location.
With only one murderous intent.
To acquire the most valuable loot.
He ran towards Lloyd’s neck, aiming his deadly sword.
So what about Lloyd?
smiled contentedly.
“good. just right.”
I pulled aggro properly.
It was the situation as intended and expected.
“Isn’t that right, Your Highness?”
“….”
“majesty?”
It wasn’t until Lloyd called for the second time that King Alicia quietly removed her finger from her ear hole.
“…song? Are you done?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Fortunately. I was wondering if I should remove the eardrum instead.”
“….”
“Anyway, the operation now?”
“I wonder if so, Your Highness.”
The beginning of the battle is good.
This intention worked well.
They said they dug the ground under the place where the Hellgate would open.
They made several large pools and filled them with holy water.
Thanks to this, he gave some damage to the Hell Knights, the vanguard.
‘Besides, I really pissed him off.’
Hell knights do not die even if they are briefly immersed in holy water.
It’s not even a serious blow.
How to properly hit them with holy water?
‘At the very least, I have to break the bones so that the holy water seeps into the marrow.’
If not, you should soak it in holy water for an hour or two.
Only then can we finish them off properly.
But here?
‘It’s too much for a holy water pool.’
In the pool, you can only show the taste (?) of holy water for a while.
In order to deliver a proper blow, you will have to call them to a prepared place.
“Then you run. can you do it?”
“Ppodong!”
Pudongi, who was burning this side, vigorously raised his thumb.
He patted the boy’s sturdy neck.
“okay. Let’s run freely today. majesty?”
“You are ready, let’s begin.”
The king’s sister, who rode along with Podongi’s plump back, was also drawing her sword.
Sprinkling bloody speculation.
It was as if he was shouting ‘Ready for battle’ with his whole body.
the moment you check it out.
Lloyd patted Pudong on the nape of his neck.
“Ppodonga! depart!”
“Podo-dong!”
The giant hamster’s chubby soles kicked the ground.
The tremendous driving force of the 1-podong power showed its true value.
Papa papa papa -!
Tremendous acceleration that can break zero-back within 3 seconds!
In an instant, the surrounding landscape stretched like a line.
The headwind beat like a storm all over my face and forehead.
But Lloyd encouraged Pudong even more.
“run! more!”
Before I knew it, the hell knights of hell knights were coming close to me.
In particular, the Hell Knight, who was flashing black twin swords, was closing the distance with us at the head of the ranks.
Lloyd shouted.
“majesty!”
with that cry.
King Alicia moved to Podongi’s ass.
He aimed his sword at the back.
That moment.
Her sword was enveloped in a brilliant yet sad aura.
However, the length of the aura was unusual.
It reached a whopping 6 meters.
“Huh!”
King Alicia drew her sword horizontally with a spirit.
The aura that extended to 6 meters cut across the entire space.
Within that range was Lord Callidus, the head of the Hell Knights’ 2nd Corps.
Kwaaang-! Kwak! Knock! bang!
Lord Callidus’ twin swords and King Alicia’s aura collided one after another.
Shockwaves rushed in all directions with an overwhelming explosion sound.
Lord Callidus’s warhorse staggered in that chain.
Podongi gained more momentum and ran at a gallop.
And King Alicia maintained an almost upright posture.
Seeing this, Lloyd swallowed admiration inwardly.
‘Whoa. crazy. The King’s sister won’t be pushed back?’
He clashed his sword head-on with Hell Knight in succession.
Even her feet would be unstable because she was standing on top of the round and squeaky buttocks.
But he hardly lost his balance.
He wasn’t pushed or injured.
The meaning was clear.
‘The king’s sister’s asurahan simbeop equipped, she became stronger. While that Hell Knight tasted the holy water, it may have weakened a little more than before, but it has risen to almost the same level as the Hell Knight.’
The King’s sister has now definitely transcended the realm of a sword master.
Although not yet a grandmaster.
At least it seemed that he had reached an intermediate level between a sword master and a grand master.
‘oh my god.’
It became strong again.
But at the same time, I was also worried.
Lloyd exclaimed with that concern.
“majesty! Just run a little more! So, don’t overdo it!”
No wonder the King’s sister was excited and actively fought.
I was afraid that I might be in a dangerous situation.
Soon the king’s sister’s answer came flying.
“under! On a weak subject.”
“….”
“Think about it. How can I leave you, a weak burden, alone in the pursuit of enemies? That is why I am personally sharing the hardships with you. How dare you worry about Jim?”
“That’s it!”
“Jim is rather worried about you. What on earth does this weakling believe in to do such a dangerous thing?”
“Are you weak? I am also a sword master!”
“But isn’t he a frail man who can’t handle even a single Hell Knight?”
“….”
“So, please be content with being protected by Jim.”
“….”
“answer?”
“Seo Seong-eun is doing nothing!”
something regretful
If you can’t deal with Hell Knight, you’re a frail man.
So you’re saying that all men in the world are like that except for Xaviel?
‘Eight! Chet!’
Lloyd swallowed his grumble and encouraged Pudong to run faster.
And the moment you leave the central village.
I looked up at the sky.
‘Kkoming, now! Go and tell Xaviel!’
I sent a hand signal to Kkomingi who was waiting in the sky.
As if Kkomingi knew it, he turned once in the sky above the village. It flew busily in the direction of the Eastern Mountains.
Lloyd kept his pace.
heading south.
Pass one more village.
Cross the exposed Prona River.
I entered the Marez clearing that spread like a plain.
By that time, Podongi’s breathing had become a little rougher.
“Ppodong! Podo-dong! Heck! panting!”
The furious sprint subsided.
The leg that kicked off the ground also lost strength.
On the other hand, what about the Hell Knight vanguard that has been chasing after?
He didn’t show any signs of being tired.
On the contrary, it showed a more persistent fighting spirit.
This was especially true of Sir Callidus, who clashed swords the most while being checked by King Alicia at the forefront.
– How long do you think you can run away like that!
Kwaaang-!
Before he knew it, he was closely following Pudongi to the rear.
He aimed for Podongi’s hind legs and swung his twin swords.
At that time, King Alicia’s aura flew in and interrupted the sword attack.
But Lord Callidus was not impatient.
Rather, it’s like driving the prey step by step.
I slowly increased the intensity of the pressure.
Lord Callidus shouted.
– Kim Soo-ho! You always pretend to be smart, but you’re making such a big mistake today!
“mistake? I? what mistake?”
Lloyd responded immediately.
Lord Callidus shouted even more courageously.
– Did you think you could repel our pursuit in this way? Besides, to escape to such an open place that was not even a confined space. Isn’t this the case of coming to the place where you will die yourself!
Actually it was.
Lord Callidus certainly thought so.
500 Hell Knights that ride hellish warhorses and demonstrate extreme mobility.
To face such a side and run away to the open clearing.
It almost felt like suicide.
It was sad and laughable.
– It’s good if you want to make this place your tomb! Then, stop the embarrassing escape! Cease your dishonorable deeds and come down to earth! I will face you myself and slit your throat!
He respected and recommended the honor of the other party.
Rather than run away and die.
Fight with dignity and die.
Wouldn’t that be a good death?
I said it with sincerity.
But the answer from Lloyd was a snort.
“I? Pooh. why?”
– her?
“Did I not run away? You have no intention of laying down here in a grave?”
– What does that mean!
“Did I come all the way here just to get you all right?”
– …what?
Lord Callidus felt puzzled.
At the same time he could see.
That was Lloyd’s expression as he glanced back.
‘Laughing…there is?’
It is certainly.
that guy
brightly
refreshingly.
more delightful.
was laughing
No matter how you look at it, that was not the expression of someone who was determined to die.
No, if you have to find the exact expression….
“Whoa, this is it. It’s exactly how I feel when I drive cockroaches into the corner and aim at F-Killa.”
Lloyd muttered with a face full of ridicule.
That moment.
coo coo coo coo…!
along the ridge of the Eastern Mountains.
Shaking the axis of an entire mountain range.
The 2 billion liter heavy mountain echo began to rush.
