◈ 558. [Evil Side] Impregnable (7)
The weapons and teeth of the Fallen Knights were thoroughly inserted into Ash’s body.
However, right after that, the fallen knights noticed an abnormality.
《Flesh point… … I can’t chew it.”
“This is… ?!]
In the next moment, Ash dispersed like a shadow and disappeared.
A sound of footsteps was heard behind the bewildered Knights of Fall, and Ash appeared again.
He was fine without a single wound, and this time he was holding a long staff instead of a sword and shield.
“Where are you looking? It is fake.”
“this guy… !]
《A shallow trick!》
The various evil magics fired by the fallen knights tore Ash to shreds.
However, this ash also scattered like a shadow. And again a new voice was heard.
“That’s fake too.”
Kill again.
“That’s fake too.”
even if you kill me again
“That is fake too.”
Ash reappeared calmly, covering his mouth and laughing.
Only then did Pendragon realize. All of the Ashes that have appeared so far had their mouths covered or their faces covered by shadows.
The voice was coming from farther away. More south… … .
Pendragon gnashed his teeth.
< < Alternative body... ... Is it?” “Yes. They are my remnants.” Everyone is welcome. It was his alter ego summoned by Ash using his ultimate [Flag in the Front]. It can even fight with its substance, but is completely independent of the main body. Tirelessly, the fallen knights tried to attack the newly appeared clone, but Pendragon stopped them. There was no reason to play around with the enemy general's pranks when the consumption was severe due to hunger. Ash's voice faded into a chuckle. “Now I am waiting. Crawl up to my castle wall once and see. Cannibals.” 《... .》 “Well, if you still have the mind to do that.” Another alter ego of Ash, who had covered his mouth and laughed, also disappeared into the shadows. The fallen knights glanced at Pendragon as if asking why they didn't follow the voice to the south, but Pendragon thought that was also Ash's trap. I had to reach the north as soon as possible, but I did not have to wander south due to the strategy of the enemy general. Encouraging the dissatisfied subordinates, Pendragon shouted. “Now everyone, pack your bags! Go north immediately.” And Pendragon led his knights. In the exact opposite direction from where Ash appeared. “There will be no rest in the future. Eat while walking. Let's go to Inse as soon as possible... ... !] *** A boring wasteland continues. How long did you walk along the desolate field? The fallen knights started glaring at each other with red bloodshot eyes due to the hunger that came back. Which of these will you kill and eat next? Who will be tastier? 《... !” It was then. The Corruption Knight, who was walking in the lead, was startled and pointed forward with his hand. 《I can see it!》 《What?!》 《It's a castle wall! It's finally inseparable... ... !] Everyone rushed to see them, really. A fortress with gray walls stood on a desolate land. And on top of the fortress of gray walls, robed troops were waiting. 《It's smaller than I thought.》 Both the fortress and the troops stationed there were smaller than Pendragon expected, but it didn't matter. Finally - an opponent that can be killed and eaten has appeared. Pendragon didn't even tell them to, but the fallen knights pulled out their weapons without saying who was first. Pendragon shouted. "let's go! Let's have a feast with their corpses-!] The seven fallen knights kicked the ground with terrifying momentum. Tuhak-! The ground exploded with their feet, and the seven corrupt knights were shot forward like thunderbolts. Even if they were slow in moving long distances, their ability to run explosively over short distances was a fallen knight that never fell behind any monster. The fallen knights rushed towards the fortress like angry rhinos. Do-do-do-do-doo! The defensive turrets installed on the walls spewed fire. At the same time, the troops standing on the wall fiercely fired various magic and arrow bullets. 《Hahahahahaha!》 Pendragon accepted the attacks with a smile. As the cannibal sword in his hand crossed the air, the attacks that were pouring towards him were 'swallowed' all at once. The other corrupt knights also swung their tentacles to remove the arrows and continued to charge, swallowing the bullets with their slimy skin. The crossfire from the fortress was strong, but it could not stop the fallen knights at all. In the end, the fallen knights reached the castle gate with ease . Open the way!” Pendragon roared and drove his greatsword into the castle gate. Zeng-! Evil magic raged around, and the thick castle gates cracked funny and opened wide inside. It was not a power that humans could produce with a sword. The seven fallen knights entered the fortress laughing and laughing. The thought of slaughter and devour the now frightened-faced soldiers to their heart's content was already driving me crazy with joy. However, 《... ?” Something was strange. There was also a city inside the walls, so there was not even a fortress structure. It was just a continuous wasteland identical to the one outside. It's as if a single line of castle walls had been erected on an empty wasteland... ... . 《Huh?》 A familiar voice came from the pendragons and fallen knights looking around in an incomprehensible situation. "I'm sorry." Looking that way, the soldiers on the wall all at once took off their robes and hoods. “This is fake too.” They all have the same face. Ash's alter egos stood there. The clones all covered their mouths and laughed at the same time. “Do you know exactly where you are now? Don't you know?” 《... .》 “I have been wandering around the southern tip of this place, which I have never been to before, misjudged the direction for several days. If I go north again from there, will the crossroad come out?” Pendragon gritted his teeth. “Then why did you dare to show up and provoke us last night... .” “Yes. To twist it one more time and make you guys get lost even more.” Shortly thereafter, Ash's alter egos turned into shadows and disappeared, and even the walls of the castle turned into magical particles and began to scatter. “Pandragon. Hiding in the darkness of that hell, harassing me with an infinite supply, you and your knights would have been one of your most feared enemies. Because there is no monster as specialized in killing ‘humans’ as you are.” 《... .》 “However, you did not properly grasp the strengths and weaknesses of your corps and marched recklessly. Without knowing exactly where the enemy’s castle is without being able to properly solve even the logistics, which can be the most basic of the basics of the army.” Ash's voice was thick with ridicule. “Well, since I don’t know that, I must have been doing something like eating my men even in my lifetime when I went out in winter and ran out of food.” 《... .》 “You may be strong as a warrior, but as a commander you are disqualified. Not to mention your men who have fallen into darkness and lost their heads due to madness.” Ash's voice slowly faded away. “Now open your eyes wide again and look at the sky. which is north and which is south. Can you be sure?” 《... .》 “Where do you get out of this endless mire and come to my city? While embracing that cursed hunger.” Eventually, both Ash's voice and the castle wall completely disappeared. Only a desolate wind blew through the wasteland. 《... Here it is.” Pendragon muttered blankly. 《Where exactly are you?》 Where exactly are they wandering right now in the remote southern part of this place? Pendragon belatedly tried to find a subordinate who could see geography - a long-haired corrupt knight, but he realized right away. devoured it on the first day of departure. 《... Pooh.” A smile leaked out of his mouth involuntarily. 《Kheu puheu puhahahahaha!》 Pendragon covered his face with his hands and laughed. His subordinates looked at him in bewilderment, but they couldn't stop laughing. When I was a human, the advice that my subordinates, who were human, risked their lives, suddenly came to mind. Don't go out in winter. Pack enough food. Honor those who are knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. Value the lives of your soldiers... ... . ... Above all, do not take war lightly. Rule your country with peace... ... . The old man who nagged me so much in front of me was the first to be eaten by himself, who returned as a monster. 《Ah-ah.》 Looking back. None of that advice was followed. Whether in life or now or at any time... ... . 《... Let's go.] Nevertheless, in the end, we have no choice but to go north. Pendragon stumbled and took the lead. 《Let's go to Inse.》 《... .] The gaze of the fallen knights looking at such a pendragon had changed before I knew it. Not with fear and loyalty, but with resentment and criticism. and with appetite. *** Over the wasteland, through the swamp, through another forest, the night came again. Meal of the Day - The time has come to decide the victim of the day. But today the atmosphere was different. 《My faithful knight, who will voluntarily feed his fellow soldiers, come forward.》 Sleung at Pendragon, who spoke indifferently with his back turned ! Clap! Swords and spears scythes and tentacles were aimed. 《... What are you doing?” Pendragon turned his bloodshot eyes from inside the helmet to his men. The fallen knights glared at Pendragon with red, bloodshot eyes in the same way. "maharaja. Isn't it all the king's fault that the situation has come to this point?” “What?” “This is what the enemy chief said. Even in my previous life, the Great King forced us to march out in winter, and we all became this scumbag.” In front of the speechless Pendragon, the other knights stole saliva from their mouths. 《So you should apologize, great king.》 《Kihi kihihi... ... . I wonder what the king's flesh tastes like... ... .》 《Because he is so big, it seems like we can eat for two days... .》 Serung! Sureureung! Everyone drew their weapons. Three of the Pendragons and the Corrupted Knights following Pendragon. And four fallen knights who are hostile to Pendragon. The fallen knights, divided into two sides, aimed their weapons at each other. Pendragon fiercely bit his lips. “My knights. Put down your weapons now. Then I'll forgive each of you to the point of tearing off an arm.] 《Ki-hi-hi-hi-hi.》 《The great king, take away your weapons... ... . Then at least I'll carry my neck intact... ... .] Shaking his head, Pendragon jerked the greatsword in his hand upwards. 《Things that even this grace does not know.》 《The one who made us this way... ... You can't say that!] The next moment. Tuhak-! The seven fallen knights rushed at each other. Then they began to fight, biting and chewing each other, spitting out roars and screams. *** ... . Pendragon stopped thinking about how much more time had passed since then. Climbing on top of a corpse horse that couldn't even run properly because half of its flesh had been blown off, Pendragon staggered north to north. At the end of walking and walking like that all over the body under the hot southern sun... ... . 《Ah.》 The huge castle wall came into view at last. This time was definitely a crossroads. “You’ve finally crossed over. Those winter mountains... ... .》 Pendragon smiled brightly and looked back. “Look, my knights! Finally we have arrived!” But no one was there. Only one corpse of one of the subordinates who was dragged behind the body horse remains. Even that, only bones remained. “Oh,” Pendragon, who had been absent-mindedly, murmured despondently. 《Where have all the people, soldiers and knights who followed me gone?》 Right after that, a dejected smile appeared on the lips of the King of Fall. “Oops, I ate it all... .》 Pendragon giggled and grabbed the body horse's reins. Then, alone, he started running toward the wall of the Crossroads.
