Chapter. 15. Can a person who has seen the end of the world plant an apple tree? (18)
****
Two bets!
Kagagagak nod!
‘You’re not giving me a chance! ‘Leech-like bastards!’
Whoops!
A nice sharp hit that comes at the cost of dozens of knife cuts.
A smile appeared on the professor’s lips for a moment as he watched the warrior with his crushed chest fly away, but his face was distorted when he saw his magic imprint shining and jumping up.
I admit it. His prediction of the combat power of these brainwashed warriors was quite wrong. In a bad way for him.
Auror? It was very faint, just as I expected. A polluted spirit and a false pillar. Since they have destroyed all the foundations for proper Aurors to grow, the mere fact that an Auror of that level resides in a weapon is considered to be a person of great will and should be praised.
However, the true value of the Desert Slave Warriors was not in things like Aurors.
Sugaak!
The scimitar that flew past his cheek changes direction in the air and stabs his back.
“Pierce through, comrade! For my king!”
The fists and insteps of the warrior, who had become as hard as stone after decades of training, hit the professor in front, and the sword that left the warrior’s hand flew towards his spine, shoulder and ankle tendons.
If you knock them both out just in the nick of time, the weapon and the owner will stick together like a magnet and rush at you like an acrobatic warrior in the desert.
There are dozens of them, each one running as one without any error.
Behind the scenes, the shamans activated all kinds of shaman inscriptions and buffs on the warriors, and the rest gave me countless negative enchantments and weakening spells.
It was too persistent and a perfect wheel formation to break through in its current form.
[Can’t we just sweep away in monster form? I think we can just crush them beyond recovery and leave.]
‘Then these guys will be dealt with. After that, those two Nameds who are grinning behind me will definitely rush in as if they’ve been waiting for that moment and give me the first bite.]
A warrior who is good at both hand-to-hand combat and weapon skills, and can freely use weapons dropped from his body.
Shamans even performed magic spells without hesitation through their bodies, as if the pieces implanted in the brain were some kind of terminal.
This is a force that cannot be underestimated, but after the first blow, Termakian and Nygmi Named Mute just watched.
Even if he tries to focus on the battle in front of him, considering the fighting power of the two Nameds who are observing him from a distance, it is not easy to show his full power-
“Hehehe. Well, we have a favor to ask of our youngest, so it would be better if we stay like this. Desert King Can you really catch that?”
“Just wait and see. “I will capture the professor and personally take care of him so that he can become Saladin this time.”
“It would be fun if that happened. “Brother Falcatus was a bit unlucky because he always said the right thing.”
“Nigmi. Don’t ignore Tooth. “At first, I wondered if he was such an asshole, but if you look at his achievements, he’s the kind of guy who puts even Edeor and his sister to one side.”
“What about your eldest sister? How could that idiot-”
Pawgak!
“If you curse at your brother one more time, I will pull out your arm, not your finger.”
“Oh, everyone says Falcatus is pretty. joy!”
.
.
.
.
Showing your power… Uhm….
‘….Do you think it’s okay to just go through with maximum power?’
Watching them lazily peeling the oysters made me think of something like that, but the professor quickly changed his mind. Since the opponent was following Falcatus’ orders, it could have been a strategy to catch him off guard.
Snap!
[professor! Arrived! Can you hear this commotion outside? Now, on the third step, there is a lot of chaos in Oasis-]
[It’s really- amazing timing.]
The thing I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.
Kaga River!
Since this was an operation that would take us into the middle of enemy territory, it was natural to prepare one or two escape methods.
According to the original plan, it would have been a perfectly normal way for the slave Saladin to gain Kauladi’s trust and come out with two royal bloods on his side, and then escape to the Sand Sea along the escape route of the Moon Shadow People who had opened an escape route from above.
Originally, the professor was a person who was much more passionate about planning B.
The professor, who swung the ax widely and created a momentary opening, put all his energy into his right arm and the axe, which he had been using sparingly due to his limited durability.
Unprecedented strength that builds up in an instant, and arms that visibly burst and split.
“Hwaaaap!”
Fighters skilled in simple slashes without any technique or goal ebb and flow
– POOOOOO!
The shock wave of the ax splitting the flagstone and hitting the sand floor swept through the hall.
The slave warrior, who could not escape the range of the blow, groaned from irreparable injuries, and sand, pushed in like a wave along with the shock wave, covered the torch and stained the cavity with darkness.
Kauladi frowned as he brushed off the wall of sand that stopped in front of him.
“…I heard you’re a very intelligent warrior. It seems Falcatus exaggerated. Saladin. Did you think you could escape this place filled with desert warriors and shamans just by the darkness? “And with that body condition?”
Kauladi’s eyes, filled with a strange light, were able to see through everything about the opponent even in pitch-black darkness.
Saladin is breathing heavily as if he is exhausted. An ax held with the left arm like a staff. And the warrior’s right arm was severed from about the elbow in the aftermath of a blow that was extraordinary even by his standards.
Whirik-whirik-tak!
“no. It would be an easy win if it was just the beggars over there, but if there were two monsters behind them, it wouldn’t be a problem. “It wasn’t even my intention to put out the fire in the first place.”
The professor, with his leaning ax hanging on a hook behind his back, deftly held up his tattered right arm and spoke.
“There, Kauladi. It all seems like it’s all clear anyway, so let’s ask something. “Why do I hate it because it’s rude?”
“Not really. It’s quite interesting to compare this way of rebelling with the way it will crawl under my feet pretending to be a shoe in the future. “What are you curious about?”
“That is a grand hobby fit for a great ruler who rules over the entire vast desert. Well, it’s nothing special. “It looks like Falcatus told me in detail.”
“You know that you are not a slave, that you are not from the desert, and that your name is not Saladin, but a professor. Even if he didn’t teach me in the first place, I knew it in advance. A reconnaissance ship reported a ‘strange merchant ship carrying a naked human being at the end of its mast.’ You’re doing something you would do for a private ship sailing through the sandy seas, and you’re insisting that it’s an ordinary merchant ship. “Isn’t it strange?”
“Such a pestilence. If I had known I had it from the beginning, I wouldn’t have had to suffer like this. “It’s a shame.”
While the professor was grumbling, the tattered arm that had fallen from his arm began to glow faintly in the dark.
“Then you know this too.”
“….what?”
“What am I famous for in the mainland?”
The
professor roughly threw up his arm, which had begun to glow softly.
As his experience in the empire shows, Ro-Haram is willing to lend him divine power that can destroy the evil spirit of the evil spirit with a single request. I simply refrain from giving divine power because I know that the act of giving divine power will be no different from an attack due to the Blood Armor, which is located in the body like tendons and nerves and takes up the lack of durability. If only those restrictions were removed, he would immediately help his one and only saint demonstrate the power of a true saint to the world.
And there is something called a sacred object in the world.
This means that divine power does not reside only in the human body. It is said that any object touched by God’s will can contain quite a large amount of divine power.
What he is throwing now is the arm that was his body until a few seconds ago, and it is a ‘clean’ object that contains a lot of aura and burns off all the mana inside.
What does it mean?
Whirik-
Whirik-
Whirik-
Slowly. The moment when the raised arm emits a faint light that can be seen by all who see through the darkness, and stops for a moment when it reaches its peak.
“Ratura lo-haram.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
Towering –
The saint’s arms, which were preparing for free fall, stopped in the air.
“Thus says the Saint of Light.”
Ugh- Ugh- Ugh- Ugh-
-Keeeeeeee!
“Let there be light even in the desert-”
Clap-
Quaaaaaaa!!!
Holy light burst through the split arms into the hall that was engulfed in darkness.
****
Crackle, crackle….
Woo-woo-woo-
It was bright, but the time lasted only a moment.
The light that filled my son-in-law gradually faded away and, as if gathering together, seeped into the cracked part of my arm and settled there.
It was not a spell, a will, or even the body of a saint, but a light of light that resided in the fallen forearm, so it had no effect and simply shone brightly before disappearing. At first glance, it didn’t seem to have any effect, but that’s something only people who don’t know about the desert would say.
The ‘right arm of the Holy Relic’, which lands on the ground like a feather and spreads soft light and shallow smoke as if the heart is pulsating.
This is the middle of the Great Eastern Desert. The third step oasis, the center of the twelve step oasis area.
….Kuuuu –
An eerie sound was heard from deep underground, as if representing the ominous silence.
“Huh
….
”
“This guy… how dare he dare in this hall of Kauladi…”
Kugugugu-
“Oh, the ruler of the desert? What in the hall? An unspeakably tragic event? You say you know who I am? You said you brought it here knowingly? “Isn’t it because you’re ready to handle it?”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!!!!
Between the angry Kauladi and the smirking professor. Something incredible and indescribable was approaching beneath my shining right arm.
“Yes you bastard! How dare such a ‘taboo’ occur in a place like Oasis!!!”
Quaaaaaaa!
“Yu Yusada!”
“The enforcer of the taboo has appeared in the oasis!”
“Take your Majesty! “Oasis takes its third step. Oasis disappears!!!”
Taboo in the desert. Never, ever, ever unleash divine power.
A moving enforcer of a pseudo-taboo who was slowly tightening his grip on the professor who had already violated the taboo by entering the desert.
The professor, who confirmed that the moisture had already reached the range of Otman’s detection, drastically broke the desert’s worst taboo with the divine power of a saint –
‘I mean, I summoned the desert’s worst executioner to the middle of the enemy lines!’
The ‘right arm’, a holy object containing immense divine power, was presented as coordinates to the moving quicksand in the desert that follows beings with divine power.
Unlike the nimble warriors, several shamans had already been sucked in. The professor quickly ran away when he saw the two Nameds, who were most wary, clutching their stomachs, bursting into laughter and taking refuge in the mouth of a tunnel worm.
Perfect chaos to rescue hostages. And…
blah!
“Kwaaagh! My Highness! Avoid!”
“majesty! He threw an ax at His Majesty!”
“Throw your body to block it! “Preserve His Majesty’s body!”
“What a shame! I lost an arm so I lost my balance! I should have gone through that gap and split the head!”
It was also the best moment to take advantage of the confusion and assassinate him.
The professor swallowed his appetite in disappointment after seeing the ax, which had held up well so far, narrowly pass by Kauladi and be sucked into the quicksand along with the forearm of the warrior who blocked it. I hurriedly ran into the room where Wanghyeol was.
Even inside, I saw two guards standing on guard as if they were aware that the situation was unusual.
“Who are you?”
“Saint! I will pray for all your relatives! Ratura!”
“Ugh!”
The warrior, who lost his composure when he heard that he was going to place a taboo curse on all living blood relatives, rushed at him, and the professor easily hurled them both out of the cave.
“Let’s see… that ‘Heart of the Desert’? “I heard that two descendants of the royal family are here…”
As I glanced around, I saw a small human-shaped lump shivering under the blanket in the corner of the room.
Judging from their bodies, the two seem to be young siblings. Since the professor is also a human being, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, so his tone naturally became softer, as if he was encouraging children.
“Rakshasha Moon Shadow sent me here. “You have to get out of here now.”
“…sniff. “If La Rakshasha sent you… are you Saladin?”
A young voice, as expected. The siblings who seemed to react to the name Rakshasha, took off the blanket, and came out… as expected, they were young siblings.
“As a descendant of the above great royal family… Uhm, I grant you the authority to serve us… Ugh!”
“La Rakshasha… Please take me to Rakshasa….”
A boy who tries to maintain his stature by acting dignified and a young girl who whines and calls out to Rakshasha.
“Uh… So you two… are the royal blood called ‘Heart of the Desert’, right?”
“This is so reckless…. This guy! “I don’t see any clear evidence here… I don’t… Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I can’t see any clear evidence. That… it looks so good, um…”
Rrrrrrrrr!
I had a feeling that something wasn’t right, but as the quicksand quickly approached, the professor ended up joining the two children on either side.
Snap!
Slippery!
“Ugh…”
A truly unfamiliar and strange sensation.
The two people who were hidden were brother and sister, children, and royal blood, but…
“That… Your Highness. “Do you know that he is a Lizard Man?”
“That one! That one! Radish is collapsing! Hurry up! hurry!”
“…Ugh. What is this….”
The two siblings looked closer to the larvae of talking lizards than to humans.
