< 300. Decisive Battle (8) >
#300
“He is the king of giants. I’m sorry I left you trapped in the castle. “There was no way I could go to the rescue.”
The people who heard the savior’s words froze. Irregular flashes and roars were shaking the battlefield. Marya who was breathing heavily opened her mouth.
“I completely understand…but what did you just say?”
“They said he was the king of giants. “He’s probably the one they call ‘him.’”
“That can’t be possible….”
She stiffened again. She thought she heard wrong but it turns out she wasn’t. He is a king. Who would have thought that even giants existed like that. The savior who was looking up at the sky clicked his tongue.
“It’s a shame that we lost Abel. “I never thought it would come out with such a bold strategy.”
“Ah if it’s Abel… then you also fought with the leader of Nebula Clazier?”
“Not only did he fight but he came close to cutting his throat. “My son who threw off his shackles performed well.”
“shackles? Um…what on earth happened while we were away?”
Marja asked widening her eyes. Changes too radical had taken place for the time he had been away. She and her commandos were trapped in the castle and had no idea what had happened.
“Well you don’t know. So to get to the point…”
The savior shook her head and opened her mouth. Even if it was a bit cumbersome it was necessary to clearly convey the situation to these major forces.
He gave a brief account of what had happened during the commandos’ absence. Ronan’s escape and the invasion of the battleship Dainhar the sudden advent of the giant king and Abel’s flight. Marya was astonished and kept her mouth shut.
“Oh my god Ronan has become so strong?”
“okay. Judging by the expression on his face it seems he knew about my son’s condition. I can guarantee that Ronan will be the strongest creature born on this planet right now. “Of course if all remaining curses disappear.”
“Amazing… In the end it was the curse that was the problem. “There was a reason I was so hung up on it.”
Marya muttered. Although she was in an incredibly wonderful situation she was also vain. I don’t know but he worked really hard.
The thought that all the hardships and efforts up until now had been in vain was making me smile bitterly. Her savior who had been staring at her shook his head.
“That’s not necessarily true. “It would have been impossible for my son to become that strong if my efforts had not been supported.”
“yes? “How can I think…”
“A rare talent for an old man. Don’t you know this when you see me and Abel? He has lived for countless years but he is no match for my son who has just become an adult. “Your days stained with sweat and blood are never in vain.”
The savior’s expression was extremely serious. He actually thought it was a true miracle that Ronan had grown into a person who was capable of working hard.
‘Honestly I expected him to grow up to be a bastard.’
No matter how much of a curse was suppressed during his infancy a lion is still a lion. Kasha was a smart woman so Ronan must have realized early on that everyone except him was nothing more than a sheep or a deer.
It would have been overwhelmingly likely that he would have lived a life steeped in sloth and arrogance but as a savior who did not know that Ronan was living his second life he could only be grateful. He smiled and finished speaking.
“I just put up the capstone of a monumental tower. So don’t be pessimistic.”
“Yes yes… thank you.”
Marja bowed her head. It wasn’t a big deal but somehow it made me feel better. Yes it couldn’t have been in vain.
“…But I can’t guarantee a match against that one. Even if you are strong you are too strong.”
At that time the savior turned his gaze to the sky again and sighed. Just watching was putting a strain on his body. The sight of the king of the giants tearing up the magic circle and revealing himself gave everyone an unforgettable shock.
Abel took advantage of the momentary confusion and ran away. She wanted to chase after her but the giant king attacked right away and there was no way.
If they had chosen to pursue Abel rather than defend at that moment about half of the allied forces would have been wiped out. Marya asked.
“Isn’t there…is there anything we can do?”
“there is. But haven’t you come in the midst of hardship? “Let’s rest for a bit and later…gagging!”
Suddenly the savior coughed loudly. Clap! Dark red blood soaked the floor. Asher who was next to me came hurriedly.
“Are you okay?!”
“Okay…huh not yet.”
The Savior nodded his head. His blood was flowing down the palm of his hand as he closed his mouth. Mana flowed up onto Asher’s shoulders as he floundered.
“You also lack strength. “I need a little more…!”
“no. Everyone is doing well enough so it’s okay. “I don’t know when the final decision will come so don’t overdo it and just keep doing it the way you are now…”
The Savior raised his hand to stop Asher from squeezing more mana out of her. Suddenly Marja realized why the savior had told her and his crew to rest.
He maintained the star’s protection by receiving mana from not only Asher but also everyone on the battlefield. The Savior wiped his mouth with his sleeve and turned to Adeshan.
“…I am especially indebted to you two. “Adeshan if it weren’t for you and that kid I would have collapsed a long time ago.”
Adeshan was sitting cross-legged on a tall pile of rubble. Her long black hair fluttered as the sound of the clash between Ronan and the Giant King rang out.
The shadow mana that controlled the psychology of her creatures was spreading around her like wildfire. Marja unable to see the mana of her shadow tilted her head.
“Now that I think about it what is Adeshan doing?”
“I’m helping the Sa people draw mana. “I knew he was an amazing person but I never thought he would do something like that to the entire Allied Forces this time…”
Asher stuttered his answer. As he said Adeshan was calming the frightened people and guiding them into a state of mind that made it easier to transfer mana to the savior.
Even though it was said to be inside the star’s protection it was still a chaos outside. The giants were flying around throwing spears at the shield and Schlieffen’s storm was growing bigger and bigger.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was in fact thanks to her that mana was transmitted smoothly amidst this chaos. Marya who was looking around opened her mouth with a determined expression.
“Nothing like this I will quickly move her sister to a safe place. “Please use my mana too.”
“Thank you for saying that. “Then my daughter…”
The savior was about to say something. Quaaaaang-! Suddenly something fell from the sky and struck the defense shield.
“Wow!”
“Father Ronan!”
Blood poured out from the savior’s mouth again. It was so powerful that the entire curtain shook. The surprised people began to murmur.
“What happened?!”
“Did a meteorite fall…!”
It didn’t seem like it was an attack from a giant king but I was wondering what on earth hit me. Suddenly someone’s voice rang out from above the Allied soldiers’ heads.
“Kaaaaaa! “Oh my god it really hurts so badly…!”
“What is this voice?”
The group quickly raised their heads. A very familiar young man was lying on the tent. Even though it was only from the back I could clearly see it. Asher shouted.
“Ro Ronan!”
“ok?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. He remained in the lying position and only turned his head. I saw my friends running around with their hands stretched out to the sky.
“What is it you all are alive?”
“are you okay? “Aren’t you all hurt?!”
“It hurts but I’m still okay. “Nice to meet you all.”
He spat out his broken teeth and grinned. I didn’t think they would die since they were born so well but seeing them healthy like that made me feel relieved.
Looking at the storm it seemed like Schlieffen was still alive. Ronan suddenly looked back at Marya and sucked in a breath. She was fast asleep with Iril in her arms. It was the first time she had seen him since she was kidnapped by Abel.
“You’re sleeping too right?”
“Uh huh. Don’t worry we’ll treat it right away. “If there’s anything we can help you with…!”
“I’m done with it so just worry about you guys.” “With my sister.”
Ronan grabbed the hilt of her sword. If I had the will I wanted to go right away and check on my sister and her friends but I didn’t have the time. He was recovering his strength while lying down. Suddenly the center of his dark clouds turned white.
“Holy shit!”
It was like looking at the sky right before lightning struck. Ronan cursed at a phenomenon whose meaning was self-evident. It was the moment when he got up and was swinging La Mancha. Kwaaaaaa-! The clouds parted and a beam of light that could be tens of meters in diameter poured out.
“oh my god…!”
“Ro Ronan!”
The beam of light was falling directly towards Ronan. A long dark shadow was cast against the backlight. My friends’ faces turned white. They instinctively realized that it was an attack similar to the spear of light thrown by the giants.
“I’m dying…!”
Marya murmured. It was not something that could be avoided or prevented. But Ronan did not back down and swung her sword. Sigh! Hundreds of sword strikes created a dense net and tore the flash of light into pieces.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…e…just do it in moderation…!”
The battlefield was oppressed by a heat that felt like the sun had been brought before our eyes. A cobweb-like crack was forming where Ronan was stepping on her feet. People watching the scene were amazed.
“I’m blocking that thing.”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it. Thanks to Ronan responding there was no damage at all below. His sophisticated yet sharp sword strike cut down without even a single ray of light.
Before long the last fragments of light scattered into the air. The world which had been completely white began to regain its original color. Ronan was in the middle of catching his breath that had reached his chin. Rumbling…! The giant king’s upper body suddenly popped out from under the thickening clouds again.
“I showed up!”
“Oh my god that thing…!”
Shock erupted from everywhere. The Giant King’s first blow came from inside the magic circle and as soon as the Savior defended himself Ronan stepped in to intercept so this was the first time we saw him in action.
It was similar to other giants in appearance such as being white and bald but its size was indescribably gigantic. It seemed like Ronan as well as other giants could swallow it in one bite. There were a total of eight wings hidden in the clouds.
“That’s….”
Suddenly the savior’s eyes widened. He had seen something similar to that in the past. A shooting star that changed his life forever. It bore a striking resemblance to the giant who had been thrown into the bottomless pit.
“You fucking bald bastard!”
At that time Ronan who had finally caught his breath shouted in an angry voice. A large vein stood out on his forehead where his bangs were pressed together. The La Mancha held in his hand was colored with the color of the sunset. Ronan’s aura pulling the opponent in enveloped the battlefield.
“Ro Ronan?! “It’s dangerous here!”
Braum was shocked when he saw that. It’s good to bring down a giant but if something so huge falls it would be impossible to handle. It was the car he was about to shout out. Faaaa! As the sky was colored with sunset-colored brilliance Ronan’s body was launched into the sky.
“I’ll kill you!”
It was like seeing a huge firecracker. As the Giant King disappeared behind the clouds Ronan who had been launched into the same orbit disappeared into the clouds. Kwaaang-! The crash sound exploded once again.
“uh?”
Braum was taken aback by the completely unexpected situation. That wasn’t the only thing that surprised me. Jaifa who had been quietly observing the situation spoke for the first time.
“Why is that kid moving? “Isn’t it right that the other person should come down in the first place?”
“My son’s aura seems to attract enemies within the range of the light. But this time the opponent is too strong. “There is a pulling force so you are pulled.”
“somehow. “It was like a dogfight.”
Jaifa laughed after hearing the savior’s answer. Ronan was competing with the giant king while repeatedly using his aurors.
Soon they came to their senses and began to cooperate with the savior in earnest. An eerily familiar dry voice came from far away.
“…were you there? “You’ve been looking for it for a while.”
