Advent of the Apostles (1)
A 7th-level Aspect Ability Person.
A state reached by balancing the power of a warrior with the secret arts of a family as a sorcerer.
Even though it is difficult to compare to other supermen who have completed the hierarchy in one field in those two aspects, it goes without saying how agile Lee Bongaju’s reaction speed is.
But despite this, what does it mean that I couldn’t react until the rosary was filled on my right forearm?
A skill that allows Lennok to activate the Archangel’s Compassion. Proof that his sharp intuition, digging into the gap between breathing and cognition, has already far surpassed Yvon’s level.
However, Lee Bongaju was not given the time to infer such an inside story.
“…!”
“Wait, this feeling…!!”
The rosary on the wrist uses Lennok’s mana as power and activates as it rotates.
Starting with the wrist filled with rosary beads, it begins to freeze the entire space as it is.
In an instant, it climbed up my wrist, hardened my elbow, and encroached on my shoulder.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
It is not an ordinary artifact. One of the nine tools used by the Celestial Dog until right before ascending to the ascendant.
Realizing that even if he resisted with all his strength, he might not be able to break free from the rosary’s restraints, Yvon let out a terrible scream.
It wouldn’t be strange if my entire body would freeze in an instant if I continued like this.
It was not a rational decision, but the body that felt the crisis of life moved ahead of Yvon’s judgment.
Awesome!!
Almost immediately after the bracelet was filled, she raised her left hand and cut off her entire arm.
With the exception of Lennok, everyone in the room widened their eyes at that radical response.
At the same time as Yvon, who had cut off his entire arm, stepped back, Chen took Oren’s body and ran towards Lennok.
“Ughhhh…!!!”
No matter how good a magician and powerful warrior he is, there is no way that he would not be without the pain of cutting off his entire arm.
Not only the body, but also the magical flow existing in the arm was severed as it was to avoid the space freeze.
The face of Lee Bon-ga-ju, who was screaming in pain, was viciously distorted.
In the meantime, Walter, who had escaped from the encirclement between Soo-ryun and Manson, supported her.
“…you!!”
“Let’s retreat. would you have told me?”
Walter replied leisurely.
“We still have a chance. I put it off until the end, but didn’t you keep Ilwon Family Head alive for a time like this?”
“That is not for you to decide.”
Lennok, who quickly retrieved the tool, stepped forward.
Although he used a considerable amount of magic power to warm up the Pure Land Shinheon, it would not be a bad result if he cut off one of the arms of the head of the family.
The others seemed to be under the pressure of Yvonne and Walter’s ability to defeat Oren, but Lennok knew that Walter wouldn’t be able to maintain his fighting prowess for long.
Needless to say how ineffective it is to bring an already dead body back to life.
If they hold on to each other’s feet while dragging out time like this, Walter’s fighting ability will be lost on its own, and he will only have to deal with Yvonne, who has one of his arms cut off.
There is no reason to let the two of you go here.
Clap!!
However, Walter smiled leisurely even when he saw Lennok lifting the double-barreled shotgun.
“Space freeze…I was surprised when I first saw it, but there’s no way I can use that many artifacts consecutively.”
“….”
“The preparations are already complete. If Lee Bon-gaju agrees, it’s over.”
“Wait, that means….”
Lennok, realizing his intentions at Walter’s words as he glanced up at the sky, immediately raised his mana, but was a step too late.
Lee Bongaju, biting her lip, lifted her hand and at the same time thrust the long weapons held by her attendants into her throat.
“…!!!!!!”
Although many of the Ibon family’s attendants who tried to attack Oren were killed in action, dozens were still alive.
It was obvious what the magic would be to activate again by sacrificing all of that power.
Amrita’s scale, which had swallowed dozens of lives, was activated again, and the rift that opened in the sky sucked in Walter and Yvon at lightning speed.
The two of them had intended to escape from this place, even at the cost of the lives of others, if things went wrong from the start.
Agjak!!
The sound of flesh being chewed.
“It’s not your mistake. Don’t be too disappointed.”
Sitting astride the rapidly closing rift, Walter looked down at Lennok and smiled.
“This is a miracle wrought by the will that came directly to earth through the apostles of the Order. Unlike general cult techniques, the hierarchy itself changes according to the number of lives sacrificed.”
“….”
“It is impossible to defeat the miracle given by Amrita. I’m really sick of it today. We will see you again in the near future.”
Does it mean that the hierarchy of the spell itself changes according to the number of lives sacrificed beyond simply moving the space by dedicating the same amount of lives?
If you think about it in connection with the word ‘apostle’ that Walter said, it means that the magic that the apostle Amrita made manifest by receiving the will of the end directly is the rift of that space movement.
But Lennok raised his hand as he watched the rift quickly closing in front of him.
“I don’t have much faith in what fanatics say.”
I understood that he had somehow prepared a corner to escape to.
A movement technique that has already been activated after paying the price. It is also a case of raising the weight class by offering dozens of whole lives.
Even if it was Lennok, it would be impossible to instantly interpret and cancel a spell of this magnitude.
Any amount of disruption was possible.
Dozens of magic threads stretched out over my hand, grabbing hold of the fast-closing rift and burrowing into it.
Deude Deuk!!!
the other side of space.
In exchange for sacrificing his life, he completely interpreted and accepted the operating principle of the magic formula that designated the coordinates and moved the physical form, while at the same time
interfering with it.
The face of Walter, who was looking down through the rift, twisted.
“to the end…!!”
“I can’t send you nicely.”
Lennok smiled, looking up at the rift with a tired expression in an instant.
Through the magician, he analyzes the operating principle of Amrita’s scale, and at the same time strikes magic power in all directions to break the cracks with force.
It causes an overload of a spell that is already being completed with superiority through overwhelming magical power and manipulation ability.
The space inside the rift heats up with strange heat and begins to burn the skin of Walter and Yvon.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!”
With a scream, the crack closed as it was, and the figures of the two disappeared.
Everyone in the manor looked up at it with blank faces as it twisted into a spiral and disappeared leaving a hazy haze in the space.
“Did you run away too….”
Soo-ryun muttered with a somber complexion.
Chen sighed and sat down.
“In the end, we couldn’t come to an end here.”
At the end of the proxy war, the plan to reveal the inside of the head of the different families and to bring justification and at the same time to punish the bishop of the Guido Church and the head of the different families was canceled.
This side had been pushed aside from the elaborateness of the plan they had prepared while hiding their intentions from each other.
The damage suffered on this side in the process was indescribably fatal.
Although they succeeded in protecting the safety of the residents of the fortress, Ilwon Family was taken away and Oren fell into a dying state.
But despite this, Lennok shook his head calmly.
“It wasn’t that I was giving up. He would not have arrived unharmed.”
Although it couldn’t stop the activation itself, it succeeded in overloading the magic formula at the last moment.
If there was a problem with the technique of jumping between spaces, it wouldn’t be strange if a part of the body was permanently lost in the worst case.
Walter’s last breath right before he fled must have been an expression of anger that he intuited.
“I also found out their destination. That’s enough.”
The center of the Bagoong Fortress. The headquarters of the Lee Bon family, which was gathering information as the root of the fortress.
It wouldn’t be necessary to say what the intention behind choosing to run into the deepest part of Yvon instead of running out of the castle.
“Half…Ban’s words are not wrong.”
With Chen’s help, Oren struggled to stand up and murmured.
“My lord!!”
Samyoung’s attendants, who had evacuated the residents of the fortress and joined him later, hurriedly accepted his body.
Oren did not care about the reactions of those around him and spoke to the others.
“Days…Cool! It’s twisted, but I’m taking the authority of the creditor… … . succeded. I won the proxy war… … .”
“okay. That’s what matters.”
Lennok nodded.
The authority of the borrower to manage all facilities inside the fort as well as the outer boundary of the fort through the proxy war system.
By winning against Walter Martinez in the final match, Lennok obtained the qualification to appoint Chaeju.
What Lee Bongaju and Walter were trying to do by sacrificing the residents of the fortress at the end was probably an attempt to change the qualifications for the nomination of the chaeju.
“Chae Chae-joo…. Cool!!”
Seeing Oren crouch down while coughing blood mixed with blood, the warriors of the Samyeong family quickly supported Oren and moved on.
“Say no more!”
“Call the doctor right away. What are you doing!”
Oren’s condition was so serious that the attendants did not even get far.
The group silently watched as Oren lay down in an unknown mansion near the manor and began treatment.
[The plan got messed up,]
murmured Manson, who had moved up to Lennok’s side.
Lennok, who was staring at him slightly, asked.
“Are your arms okay?”
[ah? what…I have to endure this much.]
The lower left elbow is stained with blood, as if there was damage in the process of suppressing Walter, who absorbed the life force of the two heads of state.
Manson glanced down at his arm before replying in a nonchalant tone.
[I’m sure that woman isn’t fine either.]
“….”
Soo-ryun rubbed her shoulders and frowned faintly.
And even Chen and Asui, who sat down in their places with pale complexions.
While Lennok looked around in silence, others hesitantly approached him and asked,
“Half…. did you?”
Even before the proxy war, the other family heads were on the side of Yvon.
They, too, did not know all the details of what had just transpired, but they knew which side to take.
The head of the six spirits said with a hard face.
“I know that you are the only one who fully understands the situation now that the Samyeong household has collapsed.”
“….”
“Even though I fell for the tricks of the head of the head family, I never had any intention of collaborating with the church. From now on, I will fully cooperate with you.”
“The same goes for this one.”
The family head of Paldune said with a confused expression.
“It’s not enough to attract fanatics, so they’re trying to sacrifice all of us… … Yvonne is crazy. I will cooperate as much as possible without harming the family.”
“It’s a line where no damage can be done.”
Lennok laughed.
“I think you’re misunderstanding where the situation is urgent right now.”
“What?”
“It’s not me who gets eaten by Yvon like this, it’s you. If you’re thinking of shifting responsibility and minimizing the damage behind the scenes, then I have no reason to care about you.”
“that….”
Even when this side engaged in a fierce battle with Yvon’s entourage, they were the ones who watched the situation in confusion behind the scenes.
In this situation, there was no reason to take advantage of the convenience of the other side.
“If you want to survive well after Ouren wakes up, you’ll have to follow my words from now on.”
The other heads of households didn’t respond to Lennok’s cool words and kept their mouths shut.
Lennok quickly shook his head as he stared at the patriarchs sharply.
Now that Oren has fallen unconscious, someone must evacuate the scattered residents of the fortress to the outskirts.
There are also humanitarian issues, but beyond that, we must prevent the lives of residents from being used as weapons by Walter.
Lennok intended to leave the headache to the heads of households. If you think about that, you should take the initiative in advance from now on.
“Are you okay?”
Chen asked as he watched the head of the family hurriedly take the family attendants and walk away.
“He must not be someone you can trust.”
Most of the heads of the 8 families are neither good nor very competent.
In the process of rectifying the residents of the citadel, there was a possibility that the head of the family would be greedy for nothing.
But Lennok shook his head with a cigarette in his mouth.
“There will be no time for tricks. One way or another, I intend to come to a conclusion within a day.”
The reason why the status of the citadel, which was weakened enough to be called the Three Heads, was still maintained is probably because it refused to communicate with the outside world, maintained a closed society, and controlled information.
But all that futile honor and lust ends today.
Chen’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
“…A day?”
“It’s not that I lost my body because I didn’t have enough energy. I ran away to Yvon’s home only after confirming that Ilwon Family Head was retrieved in advance. It’s impossible unless you have other tricks in place.”
Considering what the two of them have done so far, it is probably an intention to use the body of the Ilwon family head to do something with a very high probability.
He is not very interested in the safety of Tae-oh, who was willing to sacrifice thousands of lives for his father’s resurrection.
However, if they intend to proceed with the ritual, it would be most effective to take advantage of that gap and go first again.
It was the best opportunity to observe the true purpose of the church right next to it.
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he looked down at the ruined manor.
“Since things have dragged on this far, the other side won’t be fine either. It moves as soon as its magic power is restored.”
* * *
An eerie joint trapped in the dark.
A crack appeared as if tearing through the space through the chilling silence, where no trace of life was felt.
Two new models protruded from the inside of the crack and fell to the ground as if they were being thrown.
Woooooooooo!!
“Great!!!”
Walter, his whole body burning red, twisted and rolled on the floor.
“Damn it…!! ugh… … !!”
Chii profit!!
Scales of Amrita, a massive teleportation technique.
An extremely powerful teleportation formula that transfers the same amount of lives as the number of lives sacrificed.
Although he succeeded in activating the formula, Lennok’s interference at the last moment made it impossible to avoid overloading the formula itself.
How much magic manipulation and sensitivity do an apostle have to have in order to directly receive the will of the open sea and use the spell bestowed upon him?
If there is an error in the door connecting different spaces, it is natural that the harm will be done to the person using the door.
It is a delicate work that touches the space. Should I say it’s rather fortunate that I opened my eyes sober?
Walter’s thoughts disappeared without a trace as soon as he saw Yvonne’s family lying down next to him.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The yibong family, which is not human, howling while screaming.
The juxtaposition of a young woman’s face with that of an old man explains how much she is suffering.
The appearance near the side, including the upper body of the right shoulder, was completely cut off.
Among the side effects of space transfer, she suffered body loss, which is the worst case.
“Go, Lord…!!”
“This…!!”
“Haaaaaaaa!!”
Hearing Yvon’s scream, the attendants hurriedly rushed to his death, scattering blood in the blink of an eye.
Lee Bongaju, blinded by the pain, began to greedily eat the corpses that had not yet stopped breathing.
“Bring more!! Hurry up!!”
Walter let out a deep sigh at the sight of him losing his temper and approaching a man-eating beast.
“What can I do….”
The burns that occur at the cutting edges due to spatial displacement are not the kind of thing that can be explained by the ordinary kind of pain.
This is because it is a phenomenon that occurs when a physical entity that should have been temporarily ignored during the transition process is observed, and the friction corresponding to the distance at which the spatial transition is made is realized on the cut surface.
It’s like the pain of grinding an injured area on asphalt at full speed.
It wouldn’t be strange if Lee’s family died from shock if the body wasn’t already half human.
Walter, who had been watching them devour human flesh at random without recognizing even the family attendants, stood up.
“Bring Ilwongaju.”
“Ha, but the head of the family….”
“After eating a few more people, he will come to his senses. You may not know about regeneration right away, but hemostasis won’t be difficult. There are much more important things than that.”
Now that it had happened, what Walter had to do was fixed.
A small garden where his eyes reach as he struggles to stand up.
Drops of water were falling slowly on the leaves of the plants.
“It is different from the plan, but we will begin the ceremony of the Advent of the Apostles here.”
