Ill. All-out war (10)
Hugo could not be helped by the sharp spear fired by the soldier.
Hugo did not dare to dodge, but rather broke the spear and the soldier fell forward.
Hugo was about to step on the fallen soldier’s head, but stopped moving. He realized that something was wrong with the soldier.
The fallen soldier convulsed all over and bit into crab foam. And the other soldiers around him began to rush at Hugo in groups of several.
Hugo subdued them with only energy, trying not to kill them as much as possible.
The drops of blood that Amanzo spurred were driving the soldiers crazy. The soldiers who lost this castle and ran amok looked similar to the demon soldiers they had dealt with so far.
Rather, the soldiers who attacked Hugo were fortunate.
Away from Hugo’s vicinity, the mad soldiers were brandishing spear blades at each other.
It wasn’t just soldiers. Drops of blood seeped into the bodies of some of the knights.
Needless to say, the ripple power of the knights being controlled by drops of blood was incomparable to that of soldiers.
“Aww!”
The allied camp quickly became an asura. While the ranks were collapsing, the enemy soldiers were still coming like dogs.
“Unmanned people, spread your aura! Blood drops cannot penetrate the aura!”
Indeed, Hugo was a person who had dominated countless battlefields. He recognized the properties of the drops of blood at a glance and commanded the battlefield.
As Hugo’s crimson dragon’s face lit up, nearby drops of blood quickly evaporated.
However, only Hugo’s surroundings became safe, and blooddrops that had passed him were flying into the ranks in the rear.
It was impossible for Hugo alone to stop the blood that poured down like rain.
The rear commanders, who belatedly grasped the phenomenon, spread the situation with shouts, but it was difficult to have a significant meaning.
In the end, Hugo and some top-level unmanned people were the key to clearing up the blood.
“Gather all the Black Wolves!”
It was a choice to give up both wings of the battlefield. The Black Wolves were few in number, but they were the key personnel defending the left and right sides of the battlefield.
Hugo decided to defend the center even if he gave up the flanks.
If they defended the center until the drops of blood were collected, they could have a chance, but if the center collapsed, there was no next time.
Besides, what a terrible thing would happen if the members of the Black Wolf were engulfed in drops of blood.
As the members began to assemble, Hugo released energy and began to move forward. Hugo no longer distinguishes between enemies and mad allies.
This is a battlefield. Even in all aspects, the inferiority continues and the victory is far away. Even if it meant cutting down an ally who had gone mad, someone had to show determination like a knife.
It was Hugo’s part.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
The red and white auras of the dragon’s eyes were mixed and gathered into Hugo’s giant crusher, Kaiten.
He just quietly lifted the powerful Kaiten, but the corpses around him were caught in the gravitational force and floated up in an instant.
Hugo’s forearms swelled up.
Anyone who sees Hugo holding a kaiten would think that way.
He said he could believe it even if the world split in two.
Hugo screamed and dropped the Kaiten to the ground. thud. Unbelievable that the giant shredder had made, a small noise was heard first.
In the next moment, a large amount of aura spread like the Milky Way, staining the front of the central battlefield in pure white.
It looked beautiful. However, the enemy soldiers covered by his aura were torn to pieces beyond description. Even the crazy allies who are mixed in the gap.
Awesome…!
The small noise that had been made at the moment of the blow turned into a roar, rising again from deep underground. As if a waterfall had exploded, the ground in front of Hugo cracked and an aura erupted.
And indeed, the world began to split in two.
The entire wilderness from the front of Rimt Castle to the central battlefield split several times, and then it was completely divided into two halves.
The advancing enemy soldiers had no choice but to fall down the sudden cliff.
In an instant, too many enemies to count fell off the cliff and disappeared into the darkness.
It was the result of a single human swinging a weapon.
“Before the enemy comes over, subdue the crazy allies first! Kill those who can’t handle it!”
Hugo, who took up his posture again and took command, was clearly tired. He was sweating like it was raining, and his energy, which had overwhelmed his surroundings, was noticeably lowered.
No matter how Hugo was, there was nothing he could do about it as he rapidly consumed this amount of aura.
Hugo let out a rough breath and gazed at the collapsed Rimt Castle.
The victory or defeat of the war depended on Yuma, not himself.
“Ahaha, it’s quite worth seeing bugs fighting each other. isn’t it?”
As expected by Yuma, Amanzo had already recovered from the wound on his side and had a relaxed expression on his face.
Sensing the huge rupture caused by Hugo, Yuma cleared the dust from the ruins of Rimt Castle.
Across the cracked ground, I could vividly see our soldiers stabbing and biting each other.
“You turned blood into a grudge.”
“After rolling around in the underworld for a while, you recognize it right away. Yes, it is my favorite of all human emotions.”
The blood of Amanjo was the resentment of the Westerners he had slaughtered.
That’s why it drives the soldiers crazy like Pidgin’s thought body sealed in Zecca’s chest.
“Amanjo still doesn’t seem confident about sticking with me head-on. I see you keep bringing out low numbers.”
“Haha, how about wiping the blood from your hands before talking? I feel sorry for you.”
Just as Amanzo said, they had only crossed swords a few times, but Yuma’s grip was horribly torn. Yuma didn’t care and gripped the sword even tighter.
“What’s unfortunate is that you’re desperate because you can’t do anything about God, even a human like me.”
Saying that, Yuma kept an eye on Amanzo’s restored side. It’s because I found something strange about his body regeneration.
‘Obviously, body regeneration was unnatural. Rather than regenerating with the power inside the body, it was reshaped from the outside as if drawing power from somewhere.’
In both the human world and the underworld, he fought numerous battles with demon lords who had the ability to regenerate his body.
However, all of them quickly sprouted body tissues, and did not start out of thin air like Amanzo today.
A memory of Joachim in the past passed through Yuma’s mind as he wondered what the reason might be.
-I’ll give you a chance to become his heart! die!
These were the lines Secron spat in Joachim’s lord’s chamber.
At that time, when Evan asked what he was doing with his sister Satina, Secron split the dimension and showed a ‘black heart’.
-Satina •…? ah. the child is fine the rest too
The black heart seen through the dimensional door was filled with ‘death’, which Amanzo used as a medium for his manifestation at the time.
‘Yes, obviously he was moving through the deaths of the people he killed. The black heart was a kind of mass that gathered all of them.’
The idea of going that far soon became a conviction. Back then, I didn’t have the energy or knowledge to think about the black heart, but not now.
‘There is a high probability that he has a heart hidden in a dimensional space somewhere nearby. I have to find it.’
There was no other way to explain the singularity of body regeneration that Amanzo had just shown.
Yuma withdrew his gaze from Amanzo’s side and slapped Ascalon.
Then he summoned Atchila again and aimed at Amanzo. It changed the plan to use it as a dagger.
Today, you will be stripped of your demon powers, Amanzo. It’s a name that doesn’t suit you.”
“bouncer! You are nothing more than a small game for this body!”
The two demonic swords, which were originally a pair, began to draw black trails as they were mixed.
When Yuma only used Arilla, Aman Jo displayed a visibly disinterested attitude and hurriedly teased the sword.
However, just because he swung it hastily did not mean that the power was weak or that there were many gaps. Amanzo was clearly one step ahead of Yuma in handling Aryeolla.
No matter how flexible Yuma is in terms of swordsmanship, it was time to
limit it to ‘human swordsmanship’.
Yuma used Amulla like Ascalon, and Amanzo was using mad swordsmanship worthy of the name of a demonic sword.
“in other words!”
Yuma had no choice but to rush to defense. The state of the king became heavier than before, and his swordsmanship drew a trajectory of a kind that could not be read.
Every time the hand-to-hand battle continued, the conversation grew chilly.
“Did you really think you could overthrow my seat of power?”
Whoops!
Suddenly, Amanjo’s Amula
spread her snout to both sides and surrounded Yuma, just like when she was ‘feeding’. Yuma rather pushed his body in the direction where the mouth of the demonic sword opened.
It wasn’t to stab Amanzo. It was to open the dimensional door by cutting through the space behind Amanzo.
That was the reason why he had to lead Ascalon and bring out Amula. It was impossible to open the dimensional gate with Ascalon.
Overwork! One side of Amulla’s muzzle wielded by Amanzo bit Yuma’s right shoulder.
He couldn’t penetrate the Nightmare, but the pain was so intense that his hair stood on end.
Even though the flesh did not touch directly, the energy was sucked into it. With her left hand, Yuma violently tore Amoula’s muzzle off and rolled on the floor.
It was an opportunity to sever Amanzo’s scruff. However, Yuma pretended to aim for the scruff of his neck and cut open the space behind him.
“Where are you aiming!”
Amanzo fiercely kicked Yuma who was rolling on the floor. But this time, Yuma also bought some time by cutting off his heel with something.
‘also!’
The moment he cut the space behind Amanzo, Yuma confirmed the forcibly formed landscape of the underworld.
After obtaining Marilace, he could recognize at a glance that it was not the real Underworld, as he had learned many senses of the Underworld.
‘In the real underworld, you can’t hide your heart because of the hiders and restrictions on intervention. As long as you find the heart, you’re done, Amanzo!’
No matter how much I thought about it, the only reason I could forcibly create an underworld space near Rimt Castle was to hide my power.
Yuma’s hypothesis was already half-true, but the problem was figuring out the ‘exact location’ of the heart.
It was not known how many more times the space would have to be cut in the future, and if Amanjo realized Yuma’s intentions in it, it would be even more difficult to confirm.
Still, I felt like I had found a clue. If there was a chance, no matter how difficult the fight was, it was a law to win.
“You will soon be cutting down the ones you love the most, Yuma.”
“well. It’s funny how you keep holding weight with Evan’s face. Why don’t you stop? It’s funny, so I can’t concentrate.”
Yuma condensed a black aura into Aryeolla and said.
‘There aren’t many opportunities. I’ll find his heart in one or two attempts.’
