Episode 639: Battle of Myths (1)
Kayden Lumos was not the only one who was given power by Lumensis through the door opened by Ludger…
Those gathered in the crater…
The strong men of the continent to defeat Ludger, who was summoned using Grander as bait.
All of them received the power given by Lumensis and were manifesting divine power mixed with white and gold…
“I guess you wanted to catch me so badly…”
As Lumensis began to intervene through the gate, some low-ranking gods moved away from the gate and ended up observing the situation.
If nothing else, it was Lumensis that could exert the greatest influence in the world today.
Even Lumensis was unable to exercise direct power in the lower world, but now that Ludger has opened, there is an opportunity to take the largest share of it.
I was really looking for Lumensis…
It’s been almost 20 years…
To God, that period was only a moment, but Lumensis thought those 20 years were a really long time.
But I finally found it…
The Holy Grail, who had been hiding all over the continent hiding his identity from prying eyes, finally revealed his power.
[You are mine]
The will of Lumensis was conveyed to Ludger·
Even though the door was opened, it was impossible to use direct physical force against Ludgar, so Lumensis gave his power to those who tried to capture Ludger.
Patricio Romelo decided to obey Lumensis’ orders.
“It’s unfortunate that I can’t kill him, but since he says this, I have no choice but to follow him.”
Archbishops stood on either side of Patrick.
Elites of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus who have higher authority and divine power than high-ranking priests.
As they spread their arms, sacred blessings covered the entire crater.
In addition to the sacred power of Lumensis, the power of the sacred law created based on it further strengthened the punitive force.
Right now at this moment·
The strength of one ordinary mercenary in the punitive force rose almost to the level of a high-ranking knight.
That’s the power of God…
That is the evidence of those who handle the world…
“The place where Lumensis gives strength is the place where the battle between the great devil and the saint took place in the past. If this is fate, is it fate?”
Bantam, who had recovered, stood up, and Balut, whose broken arm had been regenerated, was right next to him, fixing his weapon.
“At this moment, I feel like I have surpassed the master’s level and am peeking beyond.”
Balut couldn’t bear to show off this power that was boiling inside his body right away.
Ludger was dumbfounded when he heard those words from Bantam and Balut.
“There is no such thing as comedy in people who don’t know anything and talk about it just because they have gained some strength.”
“Isn’t it the same as you who gained some strength?”
“Compared to you, I’m a little low…”
Ludger stretched out his arms towards Balut·
Immediately after that, the shining spear located to Ludger’s right disappeared from its place…
‘come!’
Balut rolled his eyes and struck away the spear of light coming from a blind spot.
In the past, it would have been an attack that would have killed me without even being able to react, but it was different now that I had gained the power of God.
“I can see everything!”
Balut moved his body with the recoil of the spear and rushed towards Ludger.
“If it’s now…!”
Phew!
Balut’s rushing body fell to the ground…
Balut vomited blood from his mouth due to the intense pain felt in his back.
“Wow! “What?”
The spear of light that had been thrown out just now pierced through his back and hit the ground.
With his heart pierced, Balut should have died instantly, but due to the power of Lumensis, Balut did not die.
But that too is over now…
Because that power did not ward off death, but only gave it a slight reprieve…
“I definitely threw it away…”
“Did you think the divine weapon could be thrown away so easily?”
Ludger, who indifferently saw Balut stuck in the ground like an insect specimen, raised the power of his spear.
Pow!
Balut’s body, impaled on the spear, exploded into particles of pure white light.
Bantam saw that and opened his eyes.
He was furious at the fact that his old friend died without even leaving a body behind.
“How dare my close friend!”
“If you tried to kill me, you should die… Is that something to be so angry about? “Why have you killed so many people until now?”
“Shut up!”
Seeing Bantam unable to communicate, Ludger let out a small sigh and moved the spear that killed Balut.
“Areadbhar·”
Bantam swung the great sword crafted with sacred techniques at the spear of light that was right in front of him.
A spear of light bouncing away with a roar…
However, Bantam did not let down his guard because he had seen Balut’s death a little while ago.
The bounced spear of light moved in countless traces in the air as if ignoring the laws of physics.
The speed was so fast that it could be called light.
Countless afterimages of light were drawn in just one second, as if drawing a complex spider web around the bantam.
And this time, he used holy magic to create a huge shield to defend himself against the spear being fired again.
Kaang!
Weapons collide again
At that moment, Bantam changed the shape of the shield and transformed it into a large pincer.
The spear of light was caught in the pin and Bantam immediately stuck the spear into the ground.
If you throw it away and it comes back, you can tie it up tightly to prevent it from doing so.
Ludger used the next weapon as if it was no big deal towards Bantam, who said that now that the weapon had been neutralized.
“Tathlum·”
It is the weapon used by Lu Lawader, the god of light, to kill Balor.
A magic stone was shot towards Bantam.
“Same thing again!”
This time, Bantam’s eyes widened as he tried to block it with holy magic.
The sacred law he created was unable to block a single bluish stone and was shattered.
It was slower than the Spear of Light just a moment ago, but its power was on a world-class level.
At that moment when Bantam could not react, a pillar of light fell from the sky and hit the magic stone.
The magic stone flying towards Bantum was hit by a pillar of light and had to change direction.
Wow!
A huge explosion occurred centered around a stone stuck in the ground.
The archbishops who watched this from afar broke into a cold sweat.
“I used the power given by Lumensis, but I was only able to change direction…”
“It’s a weakened attack, but it’s serious for it to have that much power…”
“Every single weapon the author possesses is literally something out of mythology.”
It was not an empty lie that Ludger said it was a battle of myths.
Ludger stared at the archbishops who had interrupted him…
“It’s surprising that people with heavy hips are gathering around like this.”
Ludger did not hide his feelings of disgust.
A nice, large baton was held in his right hand.
Ludger then took the stance of swinging the baton from his seat.
“What are you trying to do?”
It’s not a spear, it’s a baton, but are you really planning on throwing it?
That being said, the posture itself is closer to swinging…
But how?
There was a distance of several hundred meters between Ludger and the archbishops.
In addition, there were paladins surrounding the archbishops to protect them.
Even if you only swing one baton…
It was a time when everyone thought that way…
“Grow up…”
The words Ludger recited while swinging his baton…
The moment it resonated throughout the crater, the size of the bong instantly became thousands of times larger.
And one corner of the crater was erased, and all the paladins standing there evaporated.
“···!”
Kwaaaaang!
The archbishops looked at the rod that had arrived right in front of them with trembling eyes.
It was so long and huge that it could hardly be called a pole anymore, and it erased everything between Ludger and the archbishop.
The reason they were safe was because of the sacred method they instinctively used…
This is because a woman with a benevolent appearance who seemed to have come down from the sky raised her huge body and stretched out both hands to block the baton.
It was the highest level sacred law, [Protection of the Virgin Mary], which is only told in legend.
Even the protection of the Virgin Mary could not completely block the pole, so when the pole stopped, the image of the woman had disappeared.
“Hmm… was it short…”
Ludger clicked his tongue when he saw the archbishops looking fine.
At that moment, people with secret movements came around him with a shushing sound.
“Hoo”
Golden weapons aim for this vital spot without saying a word or sound…
It was the Golden Rule mercenary group.
Puff poop!
The weapon of the Golden Rule mercenaries was embedded in Ludger’s body.
At that time, when they were relieved that their secret surprise attack had worked, the mercenaries felt something strange and retreated…
It was the right choice
Those who were a little slow to react were burned on the spot and disappeared without leaving even ashes behind.
“They are ranked 2nd behind the Monarch mercenary group, but their scale and ability to handle tasks are worthy of being called 1st.”
Ludger, who was clearly stabbed in the vital area but had no wounds, spoke to the Golden Rule mercenaries as if it was no big deal…
The Golden Rule mercenaries felt creepy at the sight…
Ludger felt something formidable in the burning sword floating around him…
At that time, an arrow flew from far away and aimed at Ludger.
It was an arrow fired by hunters, but strengthened by lumensis, it was not an ordinary arrow.
Each faintly shining arrow had more power than the cannonballs fired from the huge main gun.
The sight of nearly 1,000 shining arrows covering the air was like stars falling from the night sky.
However, with just one light gesture from Ludger, the rain of arrows was erased as if it had never existed in the first place.
“If it looks like stars are falling, then let’s make real stars fall.”
Ludger snapped his fingers…
Then, a soft golden light appeared in the sky and slowly began to fall toward the ground.
6th tier metal attribute magic [Thousand Cloud Jade]·
More than 30 of them fell on the hunters’ heads like a bunch of meteorites.
Kukukukukuk!
Large cubes shining with golden patterns created craters along with a huge shaking that shook the earth.
However, unlike the impact of falling, the ground did not crack or collapse.
Ludger could see why…
“Are you here to disturb me too?”
Soon, a rocky mountain suddenly erupted from one side and the head of a huge turtle popped out.
Elemental Lord of Earth·
While everyone was surprised by his appearance, Ludger made eye contact with the elemental lord…
Ludger, who was staring at the Elemental Lord, soon withdrew his gaze.
“I understand… If you don’t intend to interfere, I won’t worry about this either… And I’ll be as careful as possible about destroying the land you love…”
With those words, the Elemental Lord of the Earth seemed satisfied and slowly sank into the ground again.
A huge mountain was sinking to the ground, as if it was quietly entering the water.
If Ludgar had not muttered a word at that time, the Elemental Lord of Earth would have completely left his position…
“But the other guy doesn’t seem to think that way.”
Just when I was wondering what that meant, the ground splitting apart happened almost simultaneously…
The elemental lord of the earth could manipulate all the land around him to his will.
However, something comparable to the power possessed by the elemental lord of the earth forced the ground open…
What came out rumbling through the crack was red-hot lava.
The elemental lord of the earth, who felt the power within the lava, lifted his half-submerged head.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Could it be that a volcano is about to explode due to the attack just a moment ago?”
“What are you talking about! “There are no volcanoes here to begin with!”
Then what does that magma mean?
At that time when many people were wondering, something rose up from a gap in the magma that continued to overflow…
What emerged from the thick magma was a being made of bright red flames…
A head reminiscent of a lizard and two glowing horns…
A human-shaped body and flame wings spread out behind the back.
From the reverse-jointed legs and hips to the flowing tail…
When the being stood up, its height seemed to be close to 800 meters.
This being who looks down at the huge crater itself is the representative of nature that governs all the flames in the world.
“Elemental Lord of Flame?”
“Why on earth is this guy who can only be found in volcanic areas here?”
The elemental lord of flame suddenly appears…
What was even more surprising was that the Elemental Lord, who could be said to be nature itself, was glaring at Ludger and spewing out hostility.
“under·”
Ludger also knew that the Flame Elemental Lord was hostile towards him and knew why.
“Did you feel the sword burning the world?”
The Elemental Lord of Flame, who controlled fire and was calm in the magma, sensed the presence of the flaming sword borrowed by Ludger and rushed forward.
The pride of the Elemental Lord, who can be said to be the essence of fire, was stimulated beyond his intense vigilance by the energy of the sword that burned the world itself.
“Interesting… But your opponent is not me…”
The Elemental Lord of Flame snorted and breathed out flames, asking what that meant.
“How long are you going to hide and just watch? Surna·”
As Ludger spoke while staring into space, the air shook and a black-haired man appeared.
“Oops, I was going to look around a little more, but I got caught.”
His appearance shocked not only the Elemental Lord of Flame but also the priests of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.
If I’m not mistaken, the name Ludger just mentioned…
Because that was clearly the name of a great evil that should have disappeared during the great war of the past…
Thank you for this chapter! When’s the next one? I can’t wait!
