Episode 647: The Power of the Holy Kingdom (2)
White prison, which can be said to be a symbol of the first inspection city.
It may be far inferior to Galaharad, but the place, which boasts an iron wall reminiscent of a fortress in itself, was completely destroyed.
The number of attackers was only 7.
However, more than 100 holy knights and prison guards were completely suppressed by just 7 people…
It was an unprecedented event that had never occurred in the history of Bretus.
Weeeeeeeee!!!
pop! Puff!
An emergency alarm sounded throughout the city, and white flares exploded in succession in the sky.
The moment the pure white light, shining brighter than the stars in the night sky, slowly subsided in the sky, the main gate of Galaharad Fortress opened in the distance and troops rushed out.
Alex clicked his tongue ·
“Look at them flocking like a pack of dogs… Most of the troops were sent across the continent, but where are these guys hiding and then popping out?”
“They say they’re wearing pure white clothes, but they move like cockroaches.”
It is clear that the Holy Kingdom of Bretus is almost like an empty house, but the number of Holy Knights coming out now is by no means small.
Rather, perhaps because they are the ones guarding the capital, the quality of the white coat they wear and the armor they wear over it is different from that of an ordinary paladin.
A group of Holy Knights moving quickly, wearing white hoods on their heads.
I was wondering what would happen if this side ran away, but when I looked back, I saw the Holy Knights from the first inspection city coming out and surrounding the area…
“They blocked off all the escape routes so we couldn’t escape.”
“It’s annoying…”
Pantos seemed to be in a bad mood, folding his ears and growling.
The Paladins of Bretus thought that they would rescue Ludger from the White Prison and then throw him out…
That judgment really stimulated Pantos’ pride.
“I guess I’ll have to show you how I’m doing properly.”
Pantos released his arms and stepped forward ·
At that time, it was Hans, not Alex or Ludger, who stopped Pantos.
“what?”
“Let me handle this…”
At Hans’ answer, Pantos stared at Hans’ face with a look of surprise.
It wasn’t just Pantos. Other Owens members also widened their eyes as if they were quite surprised.
“Hans, are you okay?”
When Ludger asked, Hans nodded his head with a shocked expression.
“To be honest, I don’t know…”
“I don’t know much, but you said you would step forward?”
“That day… After what happened in Dreamland, something seemed to have changed… What should I say? I should say that I felt like I could handle this power better… It’s a feeling that’s hard to express in words…”
“····”
Ludger stared at Hans.
If you think about it, Hans fought quite rationally even after he turned into the monster of Zevodang in Dreamland.
If that experience gave Hans some kind of instinctive realization…
“good night·”
Hans’ expression brightened at Ludger’s acceptance.
Pantos looked reluctant, but when Ludger gave permission, he sniffed, let out his snort, and stepped back slightly.
“Be sure to take my share as much as you took it away.”
Pantos did not forget to say something to Hans…
Hans no longer knew that this was Pantos’ own cheer.
“Of course…”
Ludger opened his mouth towards Hans, who took a step towards the Holy Knights who were quickly closing the distance.
“Hans”
“what? “What?”
Hans quickly grabbed the object that Ludger suddenly threw out of the air.
Hans opened his eyes wide as he checked the object in his hand.
“Brother, this is…”
“I brought it while I was visiting Isla Machina.”
“···huh really·”
Hans let out a hollow laugh as he looked at the wolf beast’s teeth.
Did you get the spirit beast’s tooth from Isla Machina? Can you say that you brought it while you were there?
I had already heard that something serious had happened on Isla Machina…
In such a situation, I was once again grateful for Ludger’s consideration in not forgetting to bring these items for me.
“Thank you, there was something I wanted to experiment with.”
“It’s an experiment… You sound quite confident…”
“I’ve never done it before, but for some reason I feel like I can do it.”
Hans took out one of his teeth from within his arms, lifted it up at the same time as the tooth he had received from Ludger, and stabbed it directly into the palm of his hand.
One was the tooth of the guardian beast of the Ulburg family received from Isla Machina…
The other one was from a deer spirit received in the mysterious forest.
2 Spiritual Beast’s Teeth
Hans stabbed it in the palm of his hand at the same time ·
Change came quickly
Puhwaak!
White fur grew on Hans’ body, and his body swelled greatly.
Normally, I would have changed into the form of a deer here, but this time it was different…
The snout became longer, teeth grew, and the overall shape changed to that of a wolf running on all fours.
However, the fur remained white, and golden horns that looked like a crown grew on top of the wolf’s head.
The wind blew·
A bluish-colored wind swirled around Hans, who changed under the influence of the two spirit beasts.
“This····”
Violetta, who is more sensitive to the wind than anyone else, muttered in a voice of astonishment.
Awww!!
The wolf’s roar rang out…
The cries went beyond the entire first inspection city and even reached the Paladins approaching from afar…
The Holy Knights, who were embarrassed by the sound of the wolf, soon resumed their advance as if it didn’t matter…
Hans rolled up his mouth and grinned at the sight.
and·
Hans’s appearance disappeared with a blue afterimage.
* * *
“What was that wolf howl just now?”
“Did an animal live in a place like this?”
“Don’t let down your guard. Since you don’t know what the enemy’s capabilities are, you should just assume that it was an intruder’s actions.”
The paladins quickly exchanged information and soon saw a half-ruined white prison.
Some paladins trembled with rage at the sight of the bridgehead where heretics and criminals were captured and put on the execution platform collapsed like a sand castle.
“Intruders… How dare you touch the Holy Kingdom? I will never forgive you…”
While I was chewing on my anger, a wind blew from somewhere…
“stop·”
The commander at the forefront sensed something strange and gave an order…
The display of moving paladins stopped at the same time…
“There’s something… Everyone beware of the surroundings…”
The commander could not finish his sentence ·
Before he could finish speaking, his head was cut off and floated in the air.
At that sight, the pupils of the Holy Knights in the first row shrank…
“command···!”
The heads of the first row of paladins who tried to call the commander were cut off…
The heads of nearly 50 Holy Knights were cut off with their hoods as if an invisible sharp blade passed horizontally.
The severed head had an expression that did not even recognize that it was dead.
What happened just now was so secret and natural…
“Everyone bow down!”
Among the Holy Knights in the second row, some of the quick-witted ones shouted and lowered their heads.
Suddenly!
The end of the hood was cut off with a creepy sound of something being cut.
‘A hood woven with thread imbued with divine power!’
The cut cross section was smooth, as if it had been cut with a sharp knife.
“It’s the enemy!”
“Everyone watch your head!”
“I can’t see him! Be careful about hiding!”
The Paladins quickly changed their formation and formed a square.
When the paladins holding the shields recited sacred spells, golden energy rose above the shields and surrounded the surroundings as if protecting them.
Elaborate development like a gear wheel with hundreds of people moving as one body…
The paladins on guard in all directions became frantic to find the culprit of the invisible razor-sharp wind.
Is it because they entered a defensive formation?
The wind that blew like a surprise attack has stopped…
Could it be that he ran away?
While some of the paladins were thinking like that, one particularly bright-eyed paladin looked up at the sky.
It was because the amount of blue moonlight pouring in was somehow unusually brighter than usual.
“uh?”
The paladin who looked up into the sky had no choice but to utter such a sound without realizing it.
Stars shining blue in the sky under the moonlight
Because the stars were falling towards this direction…
Only after the distance got closer did I realize that it was not a star, but a barrage made of pure magic.
“Everyone defend!”
Under the pressure felt from the sky, the paladins positioned at the center recited sacred spells.
A triple translucent shield in the shape of a cross rose above the protective guard that protected each formation like a turtle shell.
The blue shooting star that fell on top shattered the shield and fell into the center of the formation, causing an explosion.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Even if it was deployed in a hurry, it is a protection spell that the Holy Knights worked together to spread.
It was destroyed so easily that an explosion of bluish magic occurred around the center of the explosion and swept away the surrounding area.
Coming together for defense turned out to be poison.
The explosion devoured the paladins ravenously…
What was more problematic was that the formation collapsed.
“Check the dead!”
“The injured person should receive treatment immediately! Loosen your formation a little more! “If we come together, the damage will be amplified!”
The Paladin at the center of the explosion could not recognize the shape of the corpse, and the Paladins outside were seriously injured, but recovered quickly using healing techniques.
One of the Paladins’ strengths, their tough vitality, has been activated.
Of course, the attacker had no intention of just watching.
Stars shining in the sky fell again…
Although it was smaller than before, the number had increased by more than 10 times.
At the sight as if all the heavenly bodies in the night sky were collapsing, the Holy Knights gritted their teeth and raised their shields.
Countless rays of blue light pouring from the sky…
It pounded the paladins’ protective techniques like a shower, cracking them or shattering them like glass.
A blue flash of light came through the broken gap, hit the ground, and exploded in the shape of a hemisphere.
Although it was small in size, each and every one of them was highly concentrated magical power…
Its power could not be ignored no matter how much it was protected by sacred laws and surrounded by legal instruments.
“Where is the enemy?”
“There it is! “It’s floating in the sky!”
The Paladins discovered a pure white mass flying in the sky…
It was a deer with pure white fur that continued to create spheres of blue magic and bombarded the ground.
“Intercept!”
Even if they were in the sky, the Paladins were not without ways to attack.
Some paladins held golden spears in their hands and took a throwing stance.
Arm muscles, strengthened through long training, swelled, revealing veins.
Shoo shoo shoo!
Golden spears soared into the sky…
Priests who had lined up in the rear and were relatively safe also helped.
Angels made of light blocked the magic bombardment, and golden chains were shot aiming at the spirit beast floating in the air.
The pure white deer spirit began to dodge by literally stepping on the air…
However, no matter how much it moved, its huge size was not enough to avoid all of these attacks.
Gotcha·
The moment everyone thinks like that…
The wind that stopped for a moment blew again…
“uh?”
A secretly blowing blue wind passed by the paladins and priests…
Swoosh… Swoosh…
He passed by lightly, like a person passing by on the street, but every time he did so, his head fell as if he was harvesting.
“What! It’s a bastard! “There’s a guy in hiding!”
“Strengthen the defense outside! “The inner formation will catch the deer in the sky first!”
This guy stopped attacking immediately after putting on protective gear…
The moment the Holy Knights gritted their teeth and raised their blood vessels, the shape of a beast appeared through a gap in the blue wind.
It was a wolf with golden horns…
“A wolf?”
Now that I think about it, wasn’t the sound that just rang out like a wolf’s howl?
Kwasik!
The paladin’s thoughts were cut off as the wolf bit his neck…
There was not just one wolf that jumped out of the blue mist-like wind.
The number alone was over 20.
Twenty giant wolf spirit beasts, each sitting as high as 3 meters, broke through the outer square and entered the center of the formation.
“Stop it! Stop it!”
“These bastards’ attacks don’t work!”
Physical attacks did not work on the wolf.
When I tried to stab it with a sword, a mace, or a spear, it went right through that part as if it were the wind.
When a sacred spell struck, only then did the damage occur, but the formation had already collapsed to the point where it could not be restored.
Perhaps because I regained my composure, the blue bombardment that had stopped for a while began again.
“retreat! “Retreat!”
“Everyone get back! “Raise the drawbridge!”
The Holy Knights who crossed the bridge quickly raised the bridge between the waterways.
As a city of water, the waterways in various places were passages, but on the other hand, it was possible to block the enemy’s movement like this.
Phew!
The wolf spirit jumped down the waterway as if laughing at that sight.
The water column caused by the power of the wind rose widely like a wall.
The water column changed direction and became a small local tsunami that swept away the Paladins.
The Holy Knights tried to hold on by strengthening their legs, but their movements were momentarily slow due to the water submerging their ankles.
But it wasn’t a wolf…
The wolf moved through the air and ran with the wind.
The wolf ran·
Delicious fruits fell in abundance on the golden field.
The reaper harvested the fruit under the moonlight
Thank you for this chapter!☺️ can’t wait for the next one😍
