< 305. Decisive Battle (12) >
#305
【Kaaaa!】
Navardose roared. The moment she opened her mouth and let out her breath a tidal wave of crimson flames poured out.
Hwaaaaaaa! Flames that could burn down any country in an instant covered the sight. After a while as the fire died down a scenery unchanged from before unfolded before my eyes.
【…Is this again?】
She gritted her teeth as she caught her breath. Regardless of whether it was front back left or right there was no crack or scorch to be found in the pure white space. Hundreds of escape attempts had already been made but all were in vain.
She was imprisoned in this subspace during the battle with Abel. It seemed like he used some kind of trick but I couldn’t find out the full story. All I could remember was that just as I was about to deliver the final blow Abel pulled out something that looked like a rock.
【Children…are dangerous.】
Navardose sighed. I was so worried about everyone that I couldn’t bear it. I couldn’t even tell how much time had passed in this place where nothing existed.
Without him there was currently no one on the Allied side who could handle Abel. It was her car that suffered from her own weakness. Suddenly a familiar voice came from below.
“What you haven’t given up yet?”
【you…!】
Navardose lowered his gaze. Abel completely devastated caught her eyes. Abel who had lost one of her limbs stood on her sword using her sword as a walking stick.
【this guy!】
Quaaaaang-! Without hesitation she lifted her foot and crushed her Abel. Navarro frowned at her after confirming that she couldn’t feel anything. Her Abel’s voice rang out.
“It’s no use. Because I am just an idea not a reality. “I came to see you just in case and you’re so persistent.”
Then Abel’s figure reappeared next to Navardose’s feet. The translucent body like a spirit proved that his words were true. bang! Navardose who trampled on Abel once again shouted in an angry voice.
【What on earth were you thinking by trapping me here!】
“Sorry you are so strong. I used the only sealing stone so I should consider it an honor. “It wasn’t originally meant to be used for you…”
Abel clicked her tongue. In fact the sealing stone he used on Navardose was owned by a separate owner. It was fortunate that Ronan who appeared at the right time was stronger than expected.
“Anyway you’ll never escape from here. If I don’t free him he’ll probably be trapped forever. But don’t worry too much. “I will personally kill you as soon as I finish the job.”
【I’m saying stop talking nonsense and get it out right now!】
“Then I’ll see you again soon.”
Abel ignored her yelling and waved her goodbye. His blurred form completely disappeared. Navardose who could not control his anger and was spitting fire swore.
【shit….】
Navardose cursed. Her body wrapped in light returned to human form. She slowly caught her breath and slumped down in her seat.
“Haaaa….”
It was miniaturized to save power. Of course I would rest for a bit and then try to escape again but at this point I was starting to think that what Abel had said might be true.
“Really…is it supposed to be like this?”
She has lived for an immeasurable time but this is the first time she has faced a crisis like this. She was imagining her worst future. Suddenly a black horizontal line was drawn across the white space in front of her eyes.
“hmm?”
Navardose raised his eyebrows at this phenomenon he had never seen before. The horizontal line stopped only after completely bisecting the field of view.
Then another vertical line was drawn centered on that line. Then diagonal lines began to be quickly drawn in different directions.
“…what?”
It was something I didn’t understand. It felt like drawing a circle. Soon the landscape in front of her covered in lines turned completely black.
It was a color reminiscent of the abyss of space. Navardose was interested and tried to move slowly. Someone’s voice rang out from within the darkness.
“Ah it’s open. “I’m so glad.”
“what?”
Navardose’s eyes widened. I had definitely heard that loud voice in the past. Before long two men walked out from the middle of the darkness. Navardose who encountered them froze in place.
“You guys…!”
****
[35th Division. firing!]
She cried out that Ade Shan was there. A separate unit reorganized at the scene began shooting. It was a support fire to help Ronan fight the king of giants. All the people whose eyes were cloudy were those whose minds had been taken over by Adeshan.
Quagwang! bang! All kinds of projectiles and destructive magic were fired at the giants. The sight of hundreds of lumps tearing through the sky was quite spectacular. Most of them missed but they were definitely doing their job of keeping the giants in check.
『You foolish mortals. Stop resisting.』
『A useless thing.』
Regardless of their disdainful attitude the giants were avoiding attacks or defending themselves as much as possible. Because there was so much of Ronan’s blood on him he couldn’t go on a rampage just trusting in God’s protection.
Because Adeshan invested all of Ronan’s remaining blood into the detachment its power was different from before. Those who had been hit staggered sobbing in pain.
『Uhm…!』
[Don’t give yourself time to catch your breath. 1st 24th Division. firing!]
『I can’t quit right now…ugh.』
Every time there was a loud noise blue blood splashed out. Of course the giants weren’t fools either so they counterattacked. Shhh! Each spear of light striking the ground had the power to annihilate all units.
[Stay in your seat.]
The detachment was exposed to danger because it had gone outside the tent erected by Asher to intercept. However rather than dividing the troops and deploying them Adeshan crowded them together.
Sensing that her spears of light had come within range she turned to her savior and said
“please.”
“I know.”
The savior took a gulp of the mana potion and stretched out his hand. A hexagonal shield created in the air blocked the windows of light.
Kwaaaaang! A backlight appeared along with the explosion. Since they were much smaller than the entire Allied Forces even the wounded saviors were able to protect them.
“Are you okay?”
“Okay…I’m glad to be of help in this way.”
The savior who had somehow recovered was squeezing out the last of his strength. The battleship Dainhar which had been grounded was also in operation again. Dozens of beams of light shooting out from all over the rock were keeping them in check.
“My daughter… haven’t you caught her yet?”
“yes. Because its movements are so irregular it is difficult to chase it. However since we are forming a siege it will be resolved quickly.”
“Okay… I guess I’ll just trust you on that part.”
The savior nodded. Currently the greatest task given to the people on earth is to capture Iril and unlock her powers. Believing that Ronan would definitely defeat the king of the giants.
‘As expected he’s a great person.’
Ronan glanced down and laughed. About 100000 people were moving in an orderly manner. If you only look at the form and the precision of the movements it was actually better than when people were sane.
‘Well he was originally a man who commanded a million people.’
The general’s skills have not declined at all compared to his past life. Even in his fourth life where he was only allowed to watch he actually felt and learned something and made further progress. Suddenly the king’s voice came from ahead.
『You cowardly mortal…!』
“ok. “Did you call me?”
Ronan raised his head. The king of giants was growling and panting.
Blue blood was still leaking slightly from the wounds on his neck and chest. Compared to the first time it had healed a lot but it seemed like it was not easy to heal because it was so deep.
Moreover there were dozens of previously unseen stab wounds carved into the king’s body. They were all engraved by Ronan after the second battle began.
Blood was continuously flowing from his small wounds. This was because he was unable to take care of other areas because he was trying to cover up the wounds on his neck and chest. After Ronan found out he continued to strike only places that were difficult to defend.
‘This is how you catch large animals.’
Excessive bleeding was fatal even to the giant race. Ronan’s changed fighting style was very effective in inflaming the king’s anger. He shouted spreading his eight wings at once.
『Don’t play around fight back properly! Where has the confident spirit from a moment ago gone?』
“I gave it to the dog.”
『How dare this little creature…』
The king was about to say something. Ronan pointed the tip of his sword at the king. As the sunset-colored halo became darker the attractive force became stronger.
Paaaaang! Ronan who had been launched towards the king delivered another slash. The king whose body became sluggish could not move as quickly as before. La Mancha flew in with his long tail and passed by cutting into the king’s calf.
『Ugh!』
“Oh same spot.”
Ronan whistled as he saw his blood rushing. The king was truly strong but the original match was decided by unpredictable variables. Whoa! Ronan who easily dodged the king’s sword strike opened his mouth.
“The moment we allowed that attack it was over. “You lost.”
『The indulgence has gone too far. Such bullshit…billion!』
Ronan struck again before the king could speak. This time blood splattered around his elbow.
『Kaaaaaaaaaa! 』
Do-it-yourself! The king who was attacked in different parts of the body in succession let out a rage. It was ridiculous but I felt like I could really lose if things continued like this. His patience reached its limit and he raised his greatsword high and shouted.
『Is that right? Then I will destroy what you are trying to protect! Try blocking it!』
“what?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. For some reason the dialogue was unusual. Quaaaaa…! Particles of light gathered from all directions began to swirl around the great sword. he shouted.
“Fucking stop!”
It was not difficult to realize what the king was trying to do. Like Ronan he changed his strategy and was trying to blow away the forces on the ground first.
‘Damn it’s a skill I’ve been saving up for.’
Ronan twisted his lips. Asher and Adeshan were holding on but if something like that fell there was a high probability that they wouldn’t be able to hold on. As he caught his breath he grabbed the hilt of his sword.
‘You only get one chance.’
It seemed like I would have to use my trump card. Originally it was a technique I intended to use in a situation where I was sure I could finish it but I had no choice.
It was the moment when he had gauged the distance and was about to activate the mana of his entire body. Fuuuuuu-! The clouds that covered the sky scattered like an explosion.
“What the fuck?!”
Ronan who was startled let out a curse. A wide dark shadow was cast over the ground.
Ronan felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and turned his head. Beyond the star-filled night sky a red dragon so gigantic that it made the Giant King appear small was descending through the wind.
“Navardose…!”
“what?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. She was definitely the Mother of Fire. It was the moment when the king who had been gathering his strength turned his head one step too late. Kwasik! Navardose rushed in like an eagle hunting for prey and struck him in the chest with his hind foot.
【Is this their leader!】
『Wow!』
cried Navardose. Blood poured out from the king’s mouth. Unfortunately the spot where he was hit matched Ronan’s deep cut.
Navarreau fell to the ground just as he had trampled on the king. Quaaaaang-! A loud noise that made you believe that a volcano had erupted shook the earth. Ronan who had gained strength let out an exclamation.
“It was really alive…!”
It was a miraculous survival. As Adeshan said Navardos did not die. Ronan was impressed by her quick work and ability. Adeshan who was dumbfounded muttered softly.
“I haven’t sent a special team yet.”
Deciding that calming down Iril was a priority she had not yet assigned her personnel to Navardo Ze. I couldn’t figure out what happened.
“your majesty…!”
The giants who were attacking the ground burst into confusion. They were about to rush to help the king. Quaaaa-! Two beams of light rushed from behind the clouds and swept away the giants.
『Huh!』
『Ugh…!』
A cry of pain erupted. This was because most of them lost their protection during battles with ground forces. The rays were strong enough to turn night into day and caused extreme burns to the giants’ skin.
The voices of a man and a woman rang out from the sky from which Navarre had descended.
【fortunately-】
【It seems it’s not too late.】
“This voice.”
It was a tone I could never forget. Before long a large figure comparable to Navardose appeared. The golden scales covered with scars were still so beautiful that one could admire them. Ronan unconsciously exclaimed at the sight of the two-headed dragon that he had not seen in a long time.
“Dragon King…!”
