Episode 470 The Second Demon King, Mien (1)
“Fire ball!”
The aristocratic man waved his hands vigorously, but no magic was manifested.
It’s a big deal.
Magic, divine magic, and even the swordsmanship of the Paladins were not released.
Now they have all become ordinary people who cannot handle mana.
“It’s not like this, I think I’ll have to run away.”
At the noble man’s words, High Priest Deor shook his head.
“I don’t know what else might be there. And besides, it’s not like you can’t leave the fire behind.”
The paladins followed his words and raised their swords.
Priests and priests were not that different from ordinary people in terms of physical ability, so they picked up a suitable stone or wooden plank and glared at the monster.
The noble man let out a sigh as he looked at them who were easy enough with the will to fight.
“Then I will help.”
He takes out a small dagger from his waistband.
He couldn’t be a magic swordsman, so he was probably just a decorative sword.
Is it because they are prepared for battle?
At first, the orcs who were just watching were excited and rushed at the people.
oooh-!
The club in his hand was swinging carelessly.
In a normal state, the paladin would have blocked it lightly and cut down the orc in an instant.
However, in the current state of being a normal person, if you mistakenly block an orc’s attack, you may dislocate your shoulder and grip.
So I had no choice but to avoid it.
As the club swung around, the Paladins in the vanguard rolled their bodies on the ground in fright.
The whole body moves stiffly, as if it were frozen.
There was only one divine power, but they were in a state where even the Orcs could not win.
“Make a checkup! Orcs should be able to deal with them!”
“yes!”
According to the words of the high priest Deor, the paladins made a checkup.
Examination with a total of eight people.
It is a well-known Jin that is called Palseongjin in Seongguk.
Since he was only using it to catch orcs, the Holy Guk’s face was meaningless.
But what can I do?
It was an urgent priority for them to live immediately.
The checkup put pressure on the orc.
The orcs wield their clubs at random, as if they were frustrated with them who seemed to be unable to catch them.
However, the disappearance of divine power does not mean that their discernment has also disappeared.
The Paladins were able to predict the trajectory of the Orc’s crude attack and avoid it a little more easily in advance.
One per attack.
Palseongjin was to block an attack by eight people, so the attack of the orcs did not cause any damage to the paladins.
This time they attacked the orcs.
Swinging the heavy bastard sword as if it were not his own, he cut off the orc’s tendons.
Slow-!
Is it because of the lack of divine power?
Didn’t cut it all at once.
In addition, the timing of the examination was slightly off due to the delay in removing the bastard sword embedded in the orc’s body.
The orc, who did not miss the opportunity, dug into that loophole.
oooh-!
When the club was swung, the plate armor of two or three paladins was completely shattered.
“Aagh!”
“Cuck!”
They vomited blood and flew away, losing consciousness with only one stroke of the orc’s club.
Priests and priests approached the fallen paladin as usual.
He took his pulse several times and nodded.
“I have not yet returned to the arms of the goddess. Please be careful as this is a situation we are unable to cure.”
“I will only trust you.”
It’s not just the paladins who are frustrated because they don’t have holy power.
They were also frustrated because they could neither strengthen nor heal with divine magic.
“…take the people and run away. As an honorable paladin, it would be a sin to say this, but somehow… I think I should bury my bones here.”
A paladin squeezed a pendant onto the priest.
“If I go back, tell my wife not to wait.”
The paladins who were looking at the situation came up with something to prove themselves even in a hurry.
ring.
An old letter and a small portrait.
An engraved bracelet.
As objects with their memories piled up, priests and priests hurriedly received them.
Even in the midst of talking, the Paladins stopped breathing one by one.
A snake with horns on its head moved swiftly and approached.
The horns flashed and melted the paladins who were in the immediate vicinity.
An enemy so strong that it cannot even be compared to the Orcs.
“Watch out for the horns! If you approach, you will die!”
Although he gave orders, the number of paladins decreased helplessly because his body did not follow his wishes.
ten people.
score.
Comrades who had traveled together in the Holy Land died in vain.
To tell my wife not to wait.
The small-sized paladin threw himself.
He said he was asking for the family he left behind.
The brother paladin throws himself with a face full of fear.
Just before dying, they plunged their swords into the snake’s body.
For every life sacrificed, one sword is driven into the snake.
ten.
twenty.
It’s like a sword grave.
It was lonely stuck in the snake’s body.
High Priest Deor gritted his teeth.
“Except for the Holy Knights, all the forces of the Holy Kingdom are fleeing here.”
No one disagreed with that statement.
It is a sacred rest.
I dare not let their noble sacrifice go to waste.
They quickly lit a tree that could be used as a perch and left the hollow.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa of course
“Save me…” A
terribly sorrowful scream came from behind.
I wanted to go and save him right away.
Even if it meant dying, I wanted to fight together holding the sword.
However, those feelings faded when he saw the High Priestess clenching her fists so tightly that her hands were bleeding.
Seongguk lost its Paladins.

Ray was a little puzzled when they protested that they hadn’t even touched the food until yesterday, saying that there was not enough black tea.
“What the hell happened?”
He quickly drank tea.
I put my hand in the boiling water and looked at it.
“This is enough.”
Burn the tea leaves at the right temperature.
At first, it had a refreshing scent, but it soon changed to a soft scent, as if by magic.
After transferring a large amount of burnt black tea into a water bottle, he headed to the prison cell.
When he arrived, the prisoners had already calmed down.
“Give me from here. I’ve run out of it since yesterday, so I’m thirsty.”
When the food was brought, the prisoners roared here and there like puppies rushing at them.
Unexpectedly, they were tamed by food.
As they seemed to have calmed down to some extent, Ray gradually sensed that the time had come.
They hand out canteens to each bar and start talking.
“Now talk slowly. About the black room.”
He had treated the prisoners for this moment until now.
He took care of every meal and even changed the dirty prison into a clean look.
They will not be unaware of their efforts.
Contrary to expectations, however, no one opened their mouths.
“We don’t know either.”
“We just fought together for a while…”
He said that, but I don’t know why.
His expression quickly darkened.
“Looks like they’ve taken hostages, right?”
When I casually threw a word, there were those who responded.
Just by looking at it, you could roughly see how things were going.
One of the prisoners, who had been watching for a while, spoke cautiously.
“What… can I say this much? I was originally a mercenary. As usual, I was working on a request from the guild.”
Hearing their stories for the first time, Ray sat down and listened.
“It was an easy request at first. It was something like an escort for going up and subjugating monsters. But as the days went by, things got bigger and bigger. One day, it even went so far as to request a small-scale territorial battle. For some reason, I had a bad feeling about the client, so I declined the nomination, but my family was taken hostage. After that, I’ve been working under the Black Room for the past five years. But… that’s it. Even to me who worked for 5 years, they don’t tell me anything. On the contrary, they told me that if I went around talking about the Heukbang, my family would die miserably and scared me.”
“If you told me, wouldn’t your family be safe?”
At Ray’s words, the knight chuckled.
“Didn’t you say that five years had passed? My blood relatives are already dead. I am only moving to break the black room, nothing else.”
To break the black room.
If so, the interests are aligned.
The moment he was about to say something.
I felt a strange aura from afar.
Ray jumped up from his seat.
‘Margie? No… It’s divine power.’
Why is the divine power moving so ferociously?
The direction is the middle ground between the Holy Kingdom and Silia.
Moreover, it was approaching with great speed.
At this speed, it is only a matter of time before reaching the border of Celia.
As if he wasn’t the only one who felt it, the expressions of several knights who were sensitive to mana quickly hardened.
“This….”
“Isn’t it poetry divine power?”
It’s pretty surprising that there are people who recognize it.
It might be mistaken for demonic energy because it is mixed with Saihan energy, but they recognized at once that this was divine power.
Soon after, Mien and Soonbok also ran into the prison.
Soonbok had a slightly embarrassed expression, and Mien had eyes full of fear.
she said, breathing heavily.
“W I need to get out of here.”
If you see him stuttering to the end, there must be something going on.
“There is… not much time! Get out quickly!”
Minen looked quite impatient.
-It’s been that way since before. The flow of divine power is irregular.
The fact that the mana flowing through the body is unstable means that it is mentally and physically pushed to its limits.
What is pushing her to the limit?
without even a second to question.
Blood oozes from her body.
pop-. pop-.
The line of blood that started near her wrist eventually met with the divine power radiating from her.
A red haze slowly engulfed the prison.
Divine power, but not divine power.
A saint but not a saint.
Her body dissipated like mist.
Let the red haze with a strong scent cover even the vision an inch ahead.
Koo Goo Goong-!
The ground began to turn over.
