771. [STAGE 48] Breaking ground (7)
It is very common to demoralize an enemy by taunting him on the battlefield.
Evangeline believed that weight harassment was also a type of attack. So she tried to get over it without any damage.
‘I will beat them all up, you monsters…’
My will to fight was burning even more.
However, the Black Knight Captain’s play with the scales was not just a mockery.
Right after the giant scale made its ‘judgment’ that Evangeline was heavier.
Clang…!
With a heavy sound like a chain being dragged, Evangeline suddenly stumbled.
“Ugh…?!”
Her whole body was as heavy as wet cotton.
Evangeline, who was staggering and holding on to the castle wall, gritted her teeth.
‘What is this, my body…?!’
The Black Knight then placed a new target on the scale and spoke.
“A person’s daily wages are sufficient for one measure of wheat, three measures of barley, and a little bit of olive oil and wine.”
“…?!”
《Sinful karma beyond this accumulates in the soul and acts as a weight pulling the soul towards hell.》
Two objects were placed on the scale.
One was Evangeline, and the other was a calf.
Clang!
Evangeline was heavier.
The pressure of Evangeline’s weight on her entire body also increased. Evangeline fell to one knee on the floor, unable to withstand the suffocating pressure.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One after another, Evangeline and numerous other beasts compared the weight of sin. And the weight of Evangeline’s sin was heavier than that of any other animal.
“You have committed many killings. Your sins are much heavier than those of other animals.》
The Black Knight leader slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at Evangeline.
“I will take that much of your life.”
The scales twirled around each other to create a circle, and the image of a girl knight made of water was located in the center.
An ancient and powerful curse has been loaded.
Now when the Black Knight throws up his hand, he will tear from Evangeline’s body as many lives as he decrees.
“It’s a sin…?”
At that time, Evangeline overcame the pressure of the curse and opened her mouth.
“Why are you trying to be the judge of my life…?”
Crack!
Instead of breaking the curse with magic, Evangeline endured it with her own strength.
She braced herself against the curses that were pressing down on her from all directions and struggled to get up. And she roared.
“I am Evangeline Cross! She is the daughter of Charles and Elaine, the eldest daughter of the Cross family, and the Margrave heir to the Everblack Empire!”
thud!
Evangeline grabbed both her spear and shield and glared straight at her enemy.
“The reason I killed the enemy was to protect my people. “Since I swore to protect this land, I have never been ashamed of my actions.”
《….》
“Don’t judge my life by your standards, monster!”
The Black Knight leader completed the curse without saying a word.
Clang-!
In the air around Evangeline, countless chained execution spheres appeared and fell towards Evangeline.
Evangeline raised her shield with all her might to block all the curses.
Kang! Kaaaang-!
Evangeline’s shield glowed dazzlingly, recognizing the flood of curses she received as ‘enemy attacks’ and absorbing them all.
“And more than anything… don’t tell me to lose weight or to lose my stomach!”
After completely parrying the Black Knight’s curse with her endless [Damage Save] capacity, Evangeline transferred the curse to the tip of her own spear.
“My motto is ‘Eat a lot, work a lot’! “As long as I eat deliciously and stay healthy, that’s enough!”
And then she fired her gathered curses forward with all her might.
“Don’t go on a diet or anything, you bastards!”
Kugwagwagwang-!
The curse, which was reversed with [Damage Payback], exploded on the group of black knights. The Black Knights who were attacked fell like leaves in a cold wind.
“haha….”
The enemy’s first curse attack was completely returned to nothing.
The pressure that was weighing down my entire body disappeared. Evangeline bounced in place with her lighter body.
“Wow, I’m already hungry after doing this once.”
Perhaps it was an aftereffect of receiving the curse, but an extreme hunger came over me.
As I quickly poured the supply snacks that had been placed inside the shield into my mouth, Verdandi, who was standing next to me, cautiously called out to Evangeline.
“President.”
“yes? “Why are you doing this, Sister Verdandi?”
Then Verdandi nodded his head with a serious face.
“I think you look cuter with a little belly fat.”
“….”
“really. “In particular, since our species does not gain weight easily, we consider plump people to be more aesthetically pleasing.”
“….”
“The chairman looks really good now. If possible, it would be good to gain a little more weight and restore the round cheeks from three years ago…”
“….”
“Anyway, let’s just keep going like this!”
Then he revealed his teeth and flashed them! Isn’t she smiling and giving a thumbs up?
“….”
Evangeline looked at the king of this elf race, who didn’t seem to have anything to worry about about dieting, as if it was absurd, and then shook her head. And she muttered.
“I guess I’ll have to ask him later, which one is better….”
Well, it doesn’t matter what the guy’s tastes are.
He’s going to live as he just declared anyway.
He eats as much as he wants and works hard at his duties.
Because this process of life cannot be sinful.
“Hey, come in!”
The entire Black Knight unit raised their scales to place a curse on the entire second forward base.
Evangeline shouted as she gave the [Last Fortress] effect to everyone at the forward base.
“I’m planning on screwing you all up and eating until I’m full for dinner tonight!”
***
Hwii-ing-
A desolate wind blew in front of the first forward base.
“Whoo, whoo, whoo….”
《….》
Thorkell was breathing heavily, and a huge flaming centaur stood in front of him.
The match between the Red Knight Captain and Thorkel was not easy. Both were courageous warriors and had tremendous natural tenacity.
Every time the enemy knight captain kicked the ground with his hoof, flames erupted, and hot air and flames poured out from the great sword he was swinging.
Thorkel was a man who had even taken the Night Bringer’s breath with his body. I was able to take this level of attack with a smile.
He didn’t just defend, of course. Thorkel swung his mace in between attacks and attempted to hit the red knight captain.
Although he did not possess great offensive skills, Thor Kell’s physical strength was also not something to be ignored.
The mace wielded by Thorkel had the power to crush even an iron plate.
However, the martial arts of the Red Knight captain was amazing. Even if Thorkel extended his mace as if in a surprise attack, he could easily swing his great sword to clear it away.
The Red Knight Captain launches an onslaught, Thorkell defends firmly and counterattacks sharply, and the Red Knight Captain perfectly receives the attack, repeating the process.
A few dozen sums were exchanged, and the enemy knight captain, realizing that the game would not be successful as it was, changed his pattern.
Grumble!
The great sword raised upward was engulfed in fierce flames, and soon a tornado of fire erupted with the force to pierce the sky.
The Red Knight Captain swung this flaming greatsword downward.
“…!”
Thorkell knew he had to dodge, but there was an outpost right behind him.
He said that if he could not defend against that fearsome attack, his forward base would be destroyed.
“Hmph!”
Without hesitation, Thorkel activates [Humans are not born to be defeated].
He even threw down his shield and caught the red knight captain’s flaming greatsword with his body.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
It was a sword strike powerful enough to easily split a fortress in two and burn it down, but Thorkell had received even worse attacks several times.
Thor Kell charged forward, splitting flames all over his body, and grabbed his mace with both hands.
The enemy knight captain was unable to move as he was using this flame greatsword with all his might. There was victory in Thorkel’s eyes.
‘Gotcha!’
Whoops!
The mace was swung fiercely, aiming for the head of the Red Knight leader.
However, the mace could not crush the head of the red knight captain. Instead, he split the air and shattered the ground below.
“…!”
This was because another enemy knight who entered his battlefield grabbed his captain and flipped him backwards.
Flames flowed like blood from the head of the red knight leader, who narrowly avoided the mace.
Leaving the captain behind, the remaining red knights surrounded Thorkel.
“To intervene in a duel between commanders….”
Thor Kell clicked his tongue.
“These are friends who don’t know honor.”
The red knights did not answer.
All they did was raise their respective greatswords and prepare to rush at Thorkel at once.
Thorkell slowly looked around him and grabbed his mace again. As expected from a cavalry unit, the encirclement was quick and perfect. There was no way out.
‘It doesn’t hurt right now, but in a little while…’
[Humans are not born to be defeated] Once the effect ends, enemies will rush in at once. How long can I last then?
Thinking about it, Thorkel adjusts his grip on his mace…
Whoa!
One corner of the siege collapsed with a refreshing sound of impact.
A man flew from the castle wall and kicked straight from the air, crushing the back of the head of one of the enemy knights and sending him crashing down like a sledge.
“Ivoche, Thorkel.”
The muscular man with red pigtails was Kuilan.
“You came here as a commander, not just a warrior, right?”
To the left and right of the grinning Kuilan, the Crossroads’ close combat units poured out through the open front door.
“Then try to trust his colleagues more. “I ask you to use us at the right time.”
puck! Pow! Thump-!
The punishment unit under Kuilan immediately struck down their weapons and pushed back the enemy knights.
In particular, Kuilan unleashed his immense power and crushed the enemy knights in his group with overwhelming breakthrough power.
Realizing the difficulty of maintaining the siege, the red knights lifted the siege and retreated to one side. Kuilan and his warriors came out to save Thorkell and stood behind him.
“…This is right.”
Thorkel laughed awkwardly.
“This is my first time being in a position to lead this many people, so I made this mistake.”
“are you okay. It was cool. It took time well. More than anything…”
Kuilan grinned and winked at the Red Knight leader who was adjusting his posture over there.
“You won.”
“haha….”
“They broke up one-on-one in an unfashionable way and they were the ones who sent their subordinates away first.”
Kuilan picked up Thorkel’s shield that had fallen on the floor and handed it to him.
“Our commander-in-chief appointed you as commander here for a good reason. “Please repay those expectations.”
“….”
Thor Kell wordlessly took the shield and placed it on his left arm.
“Okay then! “Lord Thorkel, commander of the 1st Temporary Forward Base!”
Kuilan slammed both his fists in front of his chest! I asked after bumping into him.
“Give me the order! “How are we going to crush those guys?”
Thorkel immediately grasped the situation of his allies around the battlefield using the helmet he was equipped with, Nightmare Slayer [Original Sin].
And he nodded.
“There were ways to fight honorably and like a warrior. “You were the one who broke the excitement of the confrontation first…”
Thorkel slowly turned and looked toward the outpost.
“Let’s go in a cheap way too.”
Junior was standing there holding his cane.
Inside the forward base with the door open, wizards were seen forming a joint magic circle and gathering magical power.
In the meantime, the wizards were collecting magical power and delivering it to Junior, and now the process is complete.
“It’s a battle between commanders, but it’s romantic.”
Junior smiled bitterly and raised his cane.
“This is what ‘war these days’ is like.”
Flash!
A dazzling ray of light formed on Junior’s staff [Lord of Crimson] and shot into the sky above the heads of the Red Knights.
And the next moment, an enormous amount of dark clouds gathered at that point…
The opposite of ‘fire’, an attribute of the Red Knights.
And, ‘Water’, Jupiter Junior’s original attribute, is-
It poured down like crazy.
Crumbling!
The rain, accompanied by strong lightning and overwhelming gusts of wind, hit the Red Knights mercilessly.
