#303
『Your blood smells like the previous king.』
“What?”
Ronan frowned at her. I couldn’t understand what kind of bullshit this bald guy was talking about all of a sudden. The king continued.
『For some reason I thought the dragon power of mortals was at an absurd level. It is clear that that power was taken away.』
“So what kind of nonsense is that…ah.”
Ronan who was about to swear raised his eyebrows. I don’t know if it was a good king or a damn thing but I felt like I knew what the king was talking about.
A giant buried deep in the Sea of Ghosts. The eight-winged giant who removed Ronan’s curse looked very similar to the king in front of him. Ronan said.
“Are you talking about a guy with eight wings like you?”
“also.”
The king’s eyes widened. It was the first time his facial expression changed. He raised his great sword and aimed it at Ronan.
『The previous king came to this planet tens of thousands of years ago and then disappeared. The most powerful warrior in the history of our race. Now speak. “What kind of despicable trick did you use to assassinate him?”
“I didn’t do that.”
“gibberish. Then who dared to do such a thing?』
Ronan narrowed his eyes. There was no way he knew something that even the savior didn’t know. When I saw him before the scars left on his body made it seem like he had been killed by something but there was no clear culprit.
‘What the fuck do I know?’
But he felt like hopefully he could take advantage of this opportunity. After thinking for a moment Ronan opened his mouth.
“Hmm so I guess I’ll remember…”
Ronan trailed off his horse. It wasn’t for continuing the conversation. In the first place he was not very interested in information about the late king.
『If you don’t want to die here you’d better think of it quickly.』
“Uhm…so….”
The king spoke in a threatening tone. The flesh oozing from the large body was stinging my skin. Ronan’s body which had been moving slowly had already fallen to the level of his shins.
I thought this would be a good location. Ronan who had been drooling exaggeratedly on purpose clapped his hands with all his might. match-! A cheerful sound echoed across the sky.
“Oh I remembered!!”
『…!』
The tip of the great sword shook slightly due to the sudden action. Ronan seizing the moment grabbed the hilt of his sword.
‘now.’
He twisted his waist and threw the sword with all his might. La Mancha left his hand and shot under the king’s chin. Pow-! A shock wave was generated behind the sword body that exceeded the speed of sound. La Mancha who drank a lot of his blood became sharp enough to tear and pierce the king’s skin.
『It’s foolish.』
But the king was not a soft opponent. Just as the sword was about to touch the neck eight wings unfolded at once.
Whoa! As the wind blew the king’s body moved to the side. La Mancha which had been extending in a straight line disappeared into the night sky. Ronan sighed.
“ah!”
『I can’t believe I lost the opportunity to live a little longer. I cannot understand the inferiority of mortals.』
Ronan who lost his auror began to fall headlong to the ground. The king sighed after hearing the desperate screams. White light began to rise from the hilt of the great sword.
『Whatever just disappear.』
It was a pretty annoying opponent but that was the end of it. The king who had decided to blow Ronan to this place was about to swing his great sword. Ronan who was in the midst of falling raised his arms into the air.
“Reach!”
“hmm?”
It was my first time trying to gamble. The heat rising through his heart dyed Ronan’s hands scarlet. Paaaa…! The rays of light fired in a straight line reached La Mancha dividing the night sky in the distance.
“We succeeded!”
Ronan who felt the touch of being caught cried out in pleasure. It was my first time using my body as a medium to activate my aura but I had no idea it would actually work.
In fact the really important thing started now. La Mancha changing his direction turned the tip of his sword towards Ronan. The king was still hovering above his head.
“Haaaab!!
Ronan got excited and bent his arms as if pulling. Until the end the king did not notice Ronan’s intentions. Wow! La Mancha flew like a comet and pierced his neck.
『Gagging!』
Blue blood poured out from the open mouth. chuck! The hilt of La Mancha’s sword which had fully returned was placed in Ronan’s hand. Lin’s voice muttering “You’re such a crazy person” echoed in her head. Ronan turned his sword around and raised his middle finger.
“How does it taste you bald guy?”
『Kuh what is this….』
The king’s face distorted for the first time. I guess I didn’t expect it to come out like this. He was coughing wetly holding his neck with his left hand.
Even looking at it it was a fatal wound. But Ronan definitely wanted to close the match. His aura was activated again this time entangling the king. Ronan’s body holding La Mancha was launched towards him.
『Ugh…!』
The king hastily took a defensive stance. But Ronan was a little faster. He dug into the defenseless embrace and swung his sword widely. Sigh! A long deep line was drawn over the white body. Blue blood surged once again and drenched the night sky.
『Huh!』
“Stop fooling around now!”
Ronan shouted. This time I felt it definitely. His sword strikes tore through the creature’s flesh and tore through its internal organs.
Nevertheless the giant king did not fall. Ronan was about to deliver an additional blow to completely end the situation. The king threw away his great sword and punched him.
『How dare you-!』
“What the fuck…!”
Ronan took a deep breath. It was a distance that could not be avoided or avoided. He hurriedly raised his sword but it was not enough to throw it away. A huge fist hit La Mancha’s stomach.
“Gagging!”
Kwaaaaang! Ronan’s body hit the ground like a thunderbolt. This time he fell onto the star protection installed by the savior. Ronan collided with the shield and vomited blood. It felt like all the bones under my back had been crushed.
『Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Holy shit….”
Painful screams were echoing from above. Perhaps because of the pain the finishing blow had not yet arrived.
‘There is no time to waste.’
If things continued like this it would attack both the ground and itself. Ronan was about to get up again. Suddenly a dry groan was heard from beneath the shield.
“Ro…I.”
“ok?”
Ronan urgently lowered his gaze. The Savior was staggering arms outstretched toward the sky. He looked very bad with blood dripping from every orifice on his face.
“Why did it suddenly become like that?!”
“Huh…uhuhhh…uhuhhh!”
The savior was about to reply but coughed up his blood. Ronan’s face hardened. It had been fine until a little while ago but I wondered why it had become like that.
“uh?”
Ronan suddenly noticed his surroundings and raised his eyebrows. He was so out of his mind that he didn’t realize that everyone was lying down. He wasn’t just lying down he was giggling and talking nonsense like sleep.
“Hahaha! After all I am the strongest!”
“Hahaha…Mom. “I missed you too.”
“Yihihi pee fire!”
“What the fuck….”
Ronan was at a loss for words. At that time there was a sound of something splitting from the protective shield his body was lying on. The crack that appeared at the impact point was widening rapidly.
“What?!”
Normally the shield that would have blocked the giant king’s blows was ridiculously weak. This was before Ronan could do anything. Kwajangchang! The defense shield which could not overcome the increasingly widening crack finally broke.
“Keuuk!”
The savior who once again vomited blood fell forward. Ronan landed after spinning around and ran towards him. The pain that felt like hitting my back with a hammer had long since disappeared.
“Shit. “What the hell is going on?!”
“This ril….”
Ronan supported the Savior. The smell of his blood was dizzying. Hearing his sister’s name his eyes widened.
“What? Why sister? Did something happen?!”
“I have to stop it…huh.”
“Wait a minute. “Hey wait a minute!”
At that time the savior who was speaking lost consciousness. Ronan shook his shoulder nervously but he didn’t wake up.
“…What on earth is going on?”
It wasn’t dead. Ronan carefully laid the savior down and looked around. My sister and her lover were nowhere to be seen. It wasn’t long before he spotted his friends and shouted loudly.
“Aser! Marya!”
“Ma Marya…you can’t do this here. “I must maintain my dignity as a magic tower owner…”
“Uhihi…that’s right. “I am Count Armalen.”
But they also looked like everyone else. Asher and Marya Braum were lying down together and wandering around. He seemed like someone who was having a good dream.
“Ahaha…yeah. How does it taste you cat…Who is the Sword Saint now?”
“Fuck.”
Ronan cursed. The Iron Lady Nabiroje was also talking in her sleep while hugging Dae Taedo. He was in the midst of holding his head in a situation where he felt like he was going to lose his mind. An angry roar rang out from behind the clouds.
『Kaaaaaa-!!』
It was the king’s voice. The wounds inflicted by Ronan seemed quite painful. It was a roar that could have been heard as if it were the sound made when a star is born but no one woke up.
Ronan’s face hardened. Before long dozens of light balls tore through the sea of clouds and poured down.
“Fuck no!”
Ronan screamed. It was an attack from the king he had been so wary of. As it was dispersed into many pieces its power was weakened but each one was still powerful enough to be incomparable to the spears thrown by ordinary giants.
‘Even the people around me…!’
He had to make a decision quickly. It was impossible to protect everyone when the defense shield was shattered anyway. Ronan was in the middle of gritting his teeth and choosing a ball of light to cut down. Asher who was lying in front of him jumped up.
“Asher?!”
“…”
Ronan called but there was no answer. Asher raised his hand before Ronan could say anything. Sparkling mana began to swirl and gather around him. It was so massive that the space seemed distorted.
Soon the car was about to crash into the ground with a bunch of lights. Paaaa-! The divine protection of the star was created in a precarious manner and covered the entire Allied Forces. Quagwagwagwang! A ferocious explosion rang out without interval.
“Hey are you okay?!”
It was an attack that even the savior could barely handle no matter how weak he was. However not a single change was revealed in Asher’s expression. Only a thin strand of nosebleed was sliding down the bridge of his small nose.
“you…!”
The eyes that had been closed were wide open. The eyes which were originally purple had turned a dull gray color. Ronan had definitely seen this phenomenon before. Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
“That’s why I kept warning you that it was dangerous.”
“what?”
Ronan hurriedly turned around. Before he knew it Ade Shan had appeared looking up at the sky with his hands in his coat pockets. The tightly erected collar was shaking in the wind.
“Adeshan?”
Ronan said. But no answer came back. Adeshan’s cold sunken eyes gave off a completely different atmosphere than before. The incomparably powerful shadow mana was overflowing over her shoulders.
“…no way.”
Ronan’s eyes widened. He knew this energy better than anyone else. But since it was something that could not happen Ronan just kept his mouth shut and could not bring himself to speak.
‘That can’t be possible.’
At that time Ade Shan who was muttering lowered his head. Ronan froze when his eyes met hers. He was muttering and blurted out the words he had been holding in without realizing it.
“…General?”
“It’s been a while. “Corporal.”
