Episode 106. The Great Last (5)
Head-Ranging Explosion.
Desperate screams, the sound of thousands of soles urgently stepping on the sand, the vibration of the ground pounding in the chest.
His mind, confused by a straight blow to the chin, could not even convey to his body that he was in a critical situation.
My eardrums were soggy as if there was dirt on them.
I inadvertently put my finger in and the tip of my hand was wet. What entered his ears was the blood of demons that had come from somewhere.
Grains of sand tangled in blood were gritty.
Yuma staggered and barely got up.
5 seconds? 10 seconds? how down was it It was the first time he had been so defenseless in the middle of a fierce battlefield.
‘It’s still a long way. If it was Master or Captain Hugo, I wouldn’t have taken a single blow like this.’
You have to calm down.
He opened his eyes and tightened his grip. As I moved the aura inside my body, which was hardened like Milam, my vision gradually became clearer.
“Kaaak!”
As I let out a scream and lifted the Ascalon, my body became lively like a lie. My hazy, hazy mind brightened, and my judgment returned.
It was a temporary awakening.
It is a phenomenon that can never be considered good for the body, but it was perfect for the current situation where you do not know when you will be attacked.
It was fortunate that the demons were running away like crazy.
It would have been difficult to save his life if he had been in the middle of them rushing at him to die.
While Yuma was down, there were several low-ranking demons that passed near him.
However, they were afraid of Yuma’s monstrous power all along, so they didn’t even think of attacking him when he collapsed.
With one blow, the whole area was split in half.
The dark clouds in the sky that were horribly cut off could hardly be seen as the result of human force.
It was not unreasonable that the low-ranking demons were frightened when they saw the fallen Yuma.
Kwajik!
Something bit Yuma’s shoulder.
It was Tulka. Tulka raised his head with all his might and carried his injured master on his back.
As soon as Yuma was secured, Tulka started running at full speed.
It was a struggle to get the owner out of this messy and dangerous space right away.
‘I’m alive.’
Now that you’ve boarded the Tulka, you can quickly return to the barracks and find Cheryl.
The forcibly awakened body endures. If there was a demon to block it, it would have been enough to cut it off.
Mantu said that the only thing a grandmaster should do is protect the world.
Then he became a black demon and is slaughtering everything in sight.
A pale purple mist of blood spread around Mantu.
‘But why? Why didn’t you kill me?’
enough to kill Even Yuma was unconscious for a few seconds.
‘Because I don’t have to kill you? Or is it because they lose their temper and fight randomly?’
Either way, it wasn’t a compelling reason.
There was no complaint about not dying.
However, watching Mantu, who had gone mad, made me feel unfair and angry enough to forget the pain in my collarbone.
[Khao Ok!]
Mantoo seemed a little tired as he screamed and waved his arms randomly.
It was only natural that he was overdoing what could be called a natural disaster.
The taijutsu that Mantu showed me a few days ago was nothing like that.
-Look closely, Yuma. You guys use your body too hard. I am strong, but I can’t be coaxed. Gently like this to bring out all your strength and potential. like dancing
Having said that, Mantu showed Yuma the most beautiful martial arts movements he had ever seen.
Absolute destructive power for Duran Hugo had an indescribable sense of intimidation.
perfect flair. It was Mantu’s.
Gently stepping on the sand of the desert, lightly stretching his fists as if opening a fan, and kicks that create a gust of wind.
What Mantu showed was something close to art, dance.
‘devil!’
Watching Mantu walk away with a sad heart, Yuma suddenly realized that something was wrong.
At first glance, Mantu seemed to be just destroying and killing at random, but there was a tenacious corner.
Once the targeted demons escaped into the den, they followed and killed them, and if they succeeded in escaping, the burrow was destroyed.
“Wait, Tulka.”
Yuma patted the scruff of the neck and said, and Tulka stopped walking. Already at a considerable distance from the battlefield, the figures of Mantu and the demons were the size of two fingers.
The demons who couldn’t enter the den were running away in the direction of the gray forest.
Almost all of the caves were destroyed or closed, so about 2,000 demons jumped on their feet to avoid the fight.
The battlefield was almost organized.
However, Mantu was relentlessly chasing the demons. It was as if they were the enemy of Cheolcheon.
It seemed that he did not pay attention to Yuma, who had pulled himself out to the hill.
‘It was like that when me and Lagatino were fighting. I felt that the reason Mantu intervened while I was fighting was because I was getting in the way of killing demons.’
Crying! Bubbles of blood rose up his throat. When I spit it out, I felt dizzy and I saw things overlapping.
It seemed unreasonable to go to Cheryl like this.
Yuma turned his gaze and saw the demon corpses piled up behind Mantu.
It seemed that they had to absorb at least some of them and replenish their physical strength.
It won’t be a fundamental treatment, but it will stop the bloody bubbles coming up right away.
The problem was that when he summoned Amoula, Mantu could again focus his attention on Yuma.
‘It’ll be fine with Tulka.’
After quickly absorbing only about 100 corpses on the Tulka, return to the unit.
Yuma made that decision and set Tulka back.
Tulka started down the hill again. As the corpses were kicked by Tulka one by one, Yuma summoned Aquila.
[Cak?]
As expected, when Amula was summoned, Mantu turned his head and looked at Yuma. Then he started to run towards Yuma.
“Tulka! Move fast!”
Yuma lowered his body and scratched the ground with his amoula. Like grass caught on a hook, the bodies of the demons were pulled up and absorbed.
It worked. Absorbed over thirty corpses in an instant. By the time things started to see clearly again, Yuma could see Mantu approaching right next to him.
No matter how strong Mantu was, he couldn’t be faster than Tulka. Tulka easily evaded by alternating sharp turns and acceleration.
However, Yuma had to parry some of Mantu’s punches that flew like magic bombardment from a distance.
After hitting five or six, the strength in his grip loosened.
Singgang.
Arilla fell to the floor.
But contrary to expectations, Mantu did not rush to take Ayeolla.
I just looked at Amulla and Yuma, who were far away, and started running toward the west again.
The strange behavior of the two was repeated three times.
While absorbing more than 100 corpses, Yuma dropped something three times, and Mantu chased after him three times.
Even in the third and last, Mantu just got angry pointing at Amoola who had fallen, but it was a voice that Yuma couldn’t understand.
He did not directly attack or threaten Yuma. After getting angry, he chases after the demons again.
At that point, Yuma was convinced of one thing.
Mantu has become a demon who has lost his reason, but there is still something blind about him.
-Your master became a grandmaster without the help of any gods or magic tools, Yuma.
-Are you suspicious again? tell me how many times That old man is an ordinary human being. You showed me the storm too, you monkey bastard!
– No, I don’t doubt it. He would have said that if he called it a monkey, he would kill it. What the damn thing I wanted to say was this.
throw away that sword You, too, follow the same path as your master.
And when you become a grandmaster, don’t end your life foolishly like me and become a guardian of the world.
“Even when this monkey becomes a demon… it teaches me.”
This time, the hot energy rising up his throat wasn’t blood bubbles. Yuma looked at Mantu’s back with tears in her eyes.
No one in the world will know.
That the grandmaster of the past had not forgotten his mission even after becoming a Mine. The end of this warrior was that Yuma was watching alone.
Yuma watched Mantu for a long time without turning back.
By the time the dawn moon disappeared, Mantu finally killed all the demons led by Ragatino.
When Mantu himself was the only one left in this vast desert, his last fist was directed at his own heart.
It was a great end that will not be recorded in any history book.
“Yuma!”
It was Natalie’s voice. After seeing the signal flare, I had barely arrived by riding my horse.
All of her colleagues were with her, including Randel Igor Ballinan and Cheryl La Kir.
With Tane at the head, ten of the strongest unmanned soldiers in the Allied Forces were following him.
Even after hearing the voice, Yuma couldn’t take her eyes off Mantu’s corpse.
No, it was precisely where Mantu died.
Mantu’s body was blown away like burnt ashes in the desert sandstorm.
“crazy. What the hell happened here… kyaaah! you are injured! Cheryl!”
“friend! Wake!”
“Yu Yuma-sama!”
“brother!”
[Master! oh my! Could these worms hurt their lord!]
Yuma stretched out his hand over the sand that left a black mark.
“Natalie.”
“Do not say! I’ll take off your armor!”
“… Light a fire in this place.”
“Suddenly some fire.”
“please.”
Seeing Yuma’s eyes, Natalie called Val Renan. Ballinan started sparks with the Fireball Artifact, and Seril examined Yuma’s body.
Yuma stared at the burning fire for a few seconds before falling asleep.
It was like making eye contact with Mantu.
* * * Yuma-sama is really…. If you die later, be sure to donate your body to the medical community. Because I have to research. How did such a shattered collarbone stick together in a week and be fine? I have treated it, but I can’t believe it every time.”
“Thanks Cheryl. Make sure to donate.”
When Cheryl saw Yuma’s collarbone for the first time, she thought that the infection would kill her or make her crippled.
However, like a lie, Yuma recovered from his injury in a week and went around normally. Besides, as soon as I got up, the voice that said it was the resumption of the march.
During the treatment period, Yuma became less talkative and often looked blankly to the west.
The others didn’t quite understand the circumstances, but their colleagues could guess why Yuma was the way he was.
While Yuma was being treated, this story circulated among the soldiers.
The commander-in-chief said that he was seriously injured while killing the demons who were preparing for a surprise attack and cutting down the enemy commander-in-chief.
It was only half true. But there was no need to inform the soldiers about it.
“Commander-in-chief, preparations for the march are complete.”
Lois came up to Yuma who was sitting on the sand dune and said.
“okay.”
As I rode the tulka down to the other side of the dune, allied soldiers were lined up with Oh.
Yuma took her place in the lead, receiving a salute from the commanders.
“Raise allied flags.”
“Raise your flag!”
“Raise the flag of the left army.”
“Raise your flag!”
The march began again.
Elementalists have cleared almost all of the roads leading to the Gray Forest.
The morale of the soldiers was at its peak as there was sufficient supply and the belief that the commander was invincible.
After walking for two days, the allied forces reached the spot where Yuma had slashed Ragatino and Mantu had slaughtered the demons.
The traces of that intense day were still visible. After a while, they will all be buried in the sand.
Just as Mantu was about to pass the dead spot, Yuma suddenly pulled out an Ascalon and raised a sword bow.
As his colleagues followed suit, the commanders also drew their swords. Soon, starting with the two ranks, all 50,000 troops raised their spears and showed their respect.
Most of the allied forces did not know why this sword ceremony had started, but all of them had solemn faces.
‘Goodbye Mantu.’
The allies took no damage until they reached Gray Forest.
