Episode 636: Unforgotten Grudge (1)
‘Is this a dream?’
Patricio Romelo seemed to be dreaming…
Otherwise, what was unfolding before my eyes couldn’t have been reality…
There was no way humans could handle the power of God.
No, even if you could give in a hundred times and use the Holy Grail to handle the power of God, it was realistically impossible to handle the power of multiple gods like that.
miracle?
Would it be okay to describe this as a miracle?
The sight that Ludger showed was so shocking that it seemed like an act of insult to a true miracle.
The purple wizard Coilwart and the red wizard Alon Pablo died in a single blow.
The purple wizard was burned to death by lightning, and the red wizard was melted to death by fire.
Each person dies from the element they control…
It is also about the superiority of compatibility, which can be said to be absolute.
Instead of humans serving gods, the gods serve humans…
What a terrible irony…
‘Where did it all go wrong?’
At the sight of the world’s laws being denied and ridiculed right in front of his eyes, Patricio couldn’t figure out why the situation had come to this.
I thought the whole plan was perfect…
Using the True Ancestor’s vampire as bait, they found the Holy Grail that the church had been chasing for a long time and summoned him.
There was no shortage of troops…
We’ve gathered as many people as we can…
If a fight broke out, I could win overwhelmingly, and if it didn’t, it didn’t matter…
After all, he had already achieved enough achievements just by eliminating the True Ancestor’s vampire…
But what is this…
The original vampire did not die, and the Holy Grail created by the gods became something that the gods coveted.
Two wizards with the title of Color died, and the Holy Knights, which the church was proud of, collapsed without being able to use their strength…
“Don’t be funny!”
With a cackling sound, the Bantam Holy Knight shouted, coughing up blood.
He glared at Ludger with shiny eyes…
Considering Ludger’s inaction, it would not have been surprising if he ran away immediately, but as a faithful believer, he was not afraid.
Bantam’s strong mind and long-trained body did not lose courage even in the face of Ludger.
“How dare you discuss the power of God over Lumensis! All the gods of heresy have disappeared! “They lost their status, their names were erased, and they all died!”
“Paladin… you just forgot the name… they did not forget their own name…”
And Ludger, who can hear their voices…
He knew all the names of forgotten gods…
“Is that all? There are not only forgotten gods in this world. There are many more gods beyond the distant stars outside the world.”
“That’s blasphemous!”
Bantam didn’t believe it…
For him, who only serves the god Lumensis, the mere existence of a heretical god was eye-opening…
But are there more gods in the world beyond?
Even though he shouted with his mouth that Ludger’s words were lies, Bantam knew…
That he is not lying at all…
The ability Ludger showed proved that…
Lightning Hammer Sky Spear Golden Sun·
That was a power that was not even mentioned in the ancient documents of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus…
God of the Other World·
A new world that exists beyond this world…
For Bantam, who firmly believed that Lumensis was everything in the world, he felt like his life was being denied.
Instead of accepting the truth, Bantam chose to reject it…
I wanted to prove that my faith and the path I took were not wrong.
Bantam created divine power above his hands.
It became a sword shining golden…
He discarded the broken shield, with only the remains remaining, and created a golden shield made of divine power with his remaining empty hand.
The wounds on Bantam’s body healed quickly.
He glared at Ludger with an unwavering gaze and then took a step toward him.
Coo!
The Bantam, which was kicking the ground and moving, did not even show an afterimage…
Physical ability·
Paladins were superior to ordinary knights.
Attacks using holy power are less powerful than the knight’s aura, but the strengthening and blessing through holy power gave him a much better body than that of the knight.
Right now, Bantam’s physical strength was stronger than anyone else in this room…
“Go away, Ethan!”
Bantam struck the golden sword towards the top of Ludger’s head.
Ludger looked at Bantam and flicked his fingers with an indifferent gaze.
The bantam bounced away at a faster speed than it had run into.
After rolling on the floor several times, he tried to get up, but his arms and legs had no strength.
All of Ludger’s limbs were broken with a single flick of his finger.
Originally, his physical strength was at a level that could turn a rock into powder, and it was further strengthened with the addition of divine power.
‘The body does not recover…’
I tried to somehow connect the broken bones with divine power, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought…
His divine power, which could instantly heal any wound, was not effective as if it were blocked by something.
This is because when Ludger blew him away, he did not simply attack, but attacked with divine power.
The divine power of the other world was eating away at his body and hindering his recovery.
Ludger raised his finger again towards Bantam.
A blue light formed on the tip of his finger.
‘Oh, no·’
Just as Bantam was struggling to do anything, someone blocked the blue flash that Ludger shot out.
Kaang!
A curved flash of light crossed the sky and disappeared beyond…
And with a huge explosion, a blue pillar rose.
The pillar that soared into the sky destroyed everything around it.
It was Balut who deflected Ludger’s attack.
The leader of the knights directly affiliated with the Lumos family and a close friend of Bantam.
He stared at Ludger with a face full of composure.
“It was a pretty interesting blow, but I can’t just sit back and watch my friend fall.”
Balut tried to keep his composure as he spoke, but the corners of his eyes began to flutter.
‘Damn, I just blocked that attack and my right arm was completely shattered.’
He holds a sword, but that’s it…
My muscles were torn and my bones were shattered, so I could no longer swing the sword with this arm.
‘Besides, all of the sword’s teeth have fallen out. It’s a sword made of a special material made by a master craftsman, so you’re saying this after only one attack?’
It’s not that I blocked it, I just channeled as much force as possible.
The actual damage Balut suffered was less than 1/100th of the blow delivered by Ludger.
‘It’s only 1% of the strength, but the weapon and arm are broken… What kind of monster is this?’
Although he intervened to save Bantam, Balut was filled with regret, wondering if he had walked into the entrance of hell.
Balut threw away his anxious thoughts.
Even if he ran away anyway, that man was planning on getting rid of everyone in this place…
I had to try to win the game somehow while I still had troops left.
When Balut sent a hand signal with his free left hand, the knights began to move.
They knew they were afraid of Ludger, but they couldn’t run away…
The Knights of the Lumos family were especially famous for their venom, so they never ran away in fear from their enemies.
“We are the knights of the Lumos family… I’m sure you are prepared enough, right?”
Balut intentionally mentioned Lumos to Ludgar…
Still, I hoped that people would at least react in their own way after hearing the names of the three major ducal families of the empire.
Balut had to do something because if he was even slightly shaken, his chances of victory in the fight could increase by even 1%.
“Lumos?”
When Ludger reacted, Balut thought it was right…
However, Balut was puzzled by Ludger’s appearance right after.
“Ah, yes, Kayden Lumos. I’ve been thinking about that guy for a while now. Whether or not I should get rid of him for my future goals.”
“what? “What on earth is that…”
“Now that I’m omnipotent, this might be my chance… Don’t you think so? Kayden Lumos·”
Ludger said as he stared at Balut, specifically at the brooch hanging on his chest.
And at that time when everyone was wondering…
brooch·
Kayden Lumos, who was watching this scene with a long-distance artifact, widened his eyes.
“How on earth? That’s the reaction…”
Before Kayden Lumos could give any instructions, Ludger spoke quickly.
“You’re probably in the Lumos family’s mansion right now… You’re probably thinking that there’s no way for me to find out about your every move outside of the empire’s borders, right?”
Kayden Lumos sat down and quietly listened to Ludger’s words through the artifact screen.
It was to check whether he was looking at himself or whether he was really looking at this side…
Ludger moved as if he had no choice in response to Kayden Lumos’ reaction.
“Do you think I still don’t know?”
Kayden Lumos, who was sitting in the large matriarchal chair of the Lumos family mansion, turned his head in disbelief at the voice coming from right next to him.
“how?”
Ludger was there…
Kayden stared directly beyond the artifact screen.
There was Ludger there too…
I don’t understand…
The same person in different places at the same time?
“why? “Is it interesting?”
Ludger walked slowly·
Ludger lightly traced the long table covered with a tablecloth in front of Kayden’s seat with his fingertips.
The tablecloth left a faint mark along the finger.
As if to prove that what is here is not an illusion or a fake…
“It’s a type of space magic… Originally, it couldn’t and shouldn’t be used, but now that all the sealing techniques have been released inside the cage, it can be used specially…”
“What on earth are you?”
“You know, right? Haven’t you heard from Cardinal Patrick? “Heathcliff Van Bretus, that’s my real name.”
“I knew there was blood, but this power…”
Ludger stared at Kayden with a cold gaze as he trailed off.
No, rather than being cold, it was closer to not feeling any emotions.
Truly mindless…
Kayden even felt that he was more afraid of it…
Lumos does not forget grudges…
This is what I repeated to my children while thinking about what happened to Ludger that day…
Therefore, in this case of subjugating Grander, he sent the troops of the Lumos family…
To kill Ludger’s teacher and kill or capture him…
But everything went wrong…
“Did you want revenge on me? “Because they humiliated you and your child in front of everyone that day?”
Ludger spread his arms wide…
“Okay… So I came in person… I appeared before your eyes like this… So what do you do now?”
“····”
“It’s a very complicated face. It’s said that Lumos never forgets his grudges, but he actually stays quiet even though he was given a chance to take revenge.”
“That power of yours shouldn’t exist…”
Ludger snorted at the words that Kayden spoke to Ludger as if they were chewing him out.
“Is that what you just said? So they say it shouldn’t exist, but how are you going to enforce that?”
“Do you think Lumensis will leave you alone?”
“Ah, yes, Lumensis, I heard you have some reason to believe in it, so it’s definitely worth it.”
Ludger shook his head slightly, saying that what Kayden said was not particularly wrong.
“It’s just as you said… Lumensis, who was desperately looking for me until now, has now found out that I am alive and has even sensed that I have used this power… I can no longer hide from his gaze…”
As if to prove it…
A pale white light slowly began to fill between Ludger and Kayden.
At that sight, Ludger’s eyes became even colder, and Kayden’s face turned into a faint expression of emotion.
“Lumensis, will you give us the grace to take care of these young children?”
Ludger completely lifted the seal and gained power comparable to that of a god.
It was because a passage was created between the dimension where the gods reside and this world.
Through that channel, it was possible to borrow the power of various gods, but it did not necessarily work in a good way for Ludger.
Like right now…
Because Lumensis can also use its hands in this area…
The power bestowed by Lumensis seeped into Kayden…
Kayden’s navy blue clothes turned pure white and his body shone like a saint.
And this phenomenon didn’t just happen to Kayden Lumos…
Inside the crater where Ludger is currently staying…
Even in that vicinity, a pure white light began to appear on the punitive force…
Lumensis’ Grace·
It erased people’s fear and gave them courage and strength.
“Lumensis takes care of us!”
“Kill all heretic gods!”
“Let’s purify this world!”
No, it went beyond that and evoked infinite awe and even madness.
Kayden, who gained strength, smiled coldly.
“Yes, just as you said, Lumos never forgets its grudges, never.”
“I gained strength and confidence.”
Ludger shook his head as if he didn’t think Kayden’s behavior was the same…
“Can you take responsibility for those words?”
“responsibility? What do you mean? “Are you saying you don’t forget your grudges?”
“Okay, if you’re going to say those words, isn’t there something left to talk about first before you come out and resolve the issue?”
who?
Even though Kayden showed that he really didn’t know, Ludger didn’t really care…
Because I secretly guessed that he would react that way…
“Come Flora”
The moment Ludger calls that name…
A shadow appeared next to Ludger and Flora appeared in his place.
Kayden narrowed his eyes when he saw Flora.
“You can’t believe it…”
“Lumos does not forget grudges… Then the first thing to resolve those grudges is…”
Ludger placed his hand on the shoulder of Flora, who looked slightly dazed next to him.
“Isn’t it this kid?”
