Chapter 176. Shoulder to shoulder (2)
Squeak!
The silver longsword containing the aura flashed.
It dug into the Hell Knight’s skull with a force like a flash war.
That was the moment.
– …!
A Hell Knight leaping into the air.
The hell knight’s greatsword moved.
Wow-!
It swept the space above itself.
It was the direction in which Xaviel’s sword stabbed.
However, the trajectory of the hell knight’s greatsword did not overlap with that of the longsword.
beside?
It wasn’t.
‘I’m aiming for Xaviel.’
Lloyd opened his eyes involuntarily.
He was clinging to Hell Knight’s leg and hanging with his whole body. You could watch everything that was happening upstairs if you raised your head.
looked thanks
could realize
Hell Knight’s intentions.
‘I want to die with this bastard Xaviel.’
He seemed unwilling to defend himself from being stabbed in the skull.
Rather, he was trying to use that as an opportunity to sever Xaviel’s entire torso.
short time.
Lloyd’s brain spun.
He measured the direction of the battle that would unfold from now on.
‘I feel bad about this.’
Hell Knight and Xaviel.
What if they hit each other critically?
Only Xaviel will fall.
Hell Knight will be relatively unharmed.
Then, it is only natural that he, who is left alone, will become a dessert street for Hell Knight.
‘We have to stop it!’
Xaviel’s longsword and Hellknight’s greatsword.
They were already passing each other at a staggered distance.
They were rushing toward their respective goals.
Xaviel took the Hell Knight’s skull.
The Hell Knight took Xaviel’s torso.
The moment you try to poke and tear.
Lloyd suddenly stretched his hands up.
He grabbed the ribs exposed under the Hell Knight’s breastplate as if holding an iron bar.
From the dark heart method to the mana heart forearm and back muscles.
I mobilized all my strength and pulled it vigorously like a chin-up.
‘Gaaap!’
Ppogak!
Hell Knight’s upper body pulled slightly.
The movements of the Hell Knight shook slightly.
Balance momentarily shaken.
Just 1 millimeter of hesitation.
That small gap twisted the trajectory of the greatsword.
Whoa!
The greatsword narrowly cut through the air.
Xaviel twisted through the gap.
He extended his longsword.
to the end.
Snug!
– …!
A skull pierced by a longsword.
The whole body of the Hell Knight trembled greatly.
But as if it wasn’t the end yet, as if in a fit of madness, he turned his whole body with even more ferocious force. swung a greatsword up down sideways. It ran rampantly, destroying everything that came within range.
Xaviel did not back down either.
Rather, it set fire to it.
His longsword made a flamboyant movement, steadily stabbing and slicing the Hell Knight’s gaps.
At that time, Hell Knight’s body shook greatly.
Lloyd, who embraced his pelvis and legs, did not remain silent.
With both arms and legs blocking Hell Knight’s movement like a cicada, he made full use of the weapon that allowed him to play freely even in that state.
It was the mouth.
“Peace like a river to me! Pyeonghwa like a river to me! Ga-gang-gang-gang-gang to me! like a river! Stretch out! It’s overflowing!”
Lloyd sang with all his might.
Bringing back memories of my military days.
Or remembering memories of going to a temple with my mother when I was young.
He mobilized all the church songs and Buddhist scriptures he knew.
His vocal chords vibrated as he fired the exorcism song.
All sorts of dissonant sounds rippled across the tongue.
“Sack immediately! color immediately! Profits when winning awards! Let’s buy it when it’s reversed! Provisional construction Aaaa!”
I shouted and sang with all my might.
Out of tune and beeping occurred frequently.
Of course, I didn’t do it on purpose.
He was really trying to sing properly.
However, the cold sky gave him a talent for study, but not a single gram of musical talent.
Yes.
he was tone deaf
It was also a very serious tone deafness.
‘shit. me too…I’m not doing this because I want to!’
Sing with all your might.
Lloyd suddenly recalled an old memory.
Was it when you were a private in the army?
Even then, I had a lot of trouble because of the song.
Every time I sang the military song in the morning when I had a bicep, I was harassed by my seniors.
It was caused by the tremendous sense of pitch that reduced even military songs where the pitch was not important to transcendental dissonance.
It wasn’t just then.
Every Sunday morning at the military.
It was the first and only time in my life that I went to church diligently.
It was because the church gave me Choco Pie.
But even there, he was not welcome.
It was the first day I went to church and sang hymns.
I had to stare again because of this guy’s song.
I guess I sang along diligently.
The military chaplain was so frightened.
‘He looked at me like a devil that had descended to the ground. I still can’t forget those eyes!’
Was that all
After that, another sad thing happened.
Was it right after school?
At that time, we had a flirtation at school just once.
One day, I went to a coin karaoke room with a girl.
Thanks to that, the thumb ended on that day.
‘….’
Let’s not think about it anymore because it makes me cry.
Let’s admit it instead.
yes i’m dumb
But that’s not something to be ashamed of.
Sometimes you can use it as a weapon.
‘like now! This time, I’m going to Cheonsu-kyung!’
Buddha’s birthday as a child.
It reminded me of the temple I went to with my mother.
I also remembered the sound of the monk reciting the sutras I heard then.
Lloyd’s eyes showed firm determination.
It was from then.
“Jeong Gu-up’s mantra! Suri-Suri Maha-Suri-Suri-Savaha!”
Lloyd’s voice became more resolute as it contained a vibe full of distrust.
The more he did, the more the Hell Knight’s mind became more and more distracted.
– …stop!
Please stop, you madman!
Hell Knight wanted to pray sincerely.
The silver-haired knight in front of me is too much for me.
A strange guy clinging to the bottom like a cicada was singing a strange song that even the demons of hell would get rid of the crane.
Even that throat is how shamelessly loud again.
The skull that had been pierced earlier was about to open a crack.
No, actually, the Hell Knight’s skull was splitting in two.
Because of the stabbing blow from Xaviel earlier.
Because I didn’t buy time to recover it.
After that, I got hit again and again.
Hell Knight’s entire body collapsed, crumbled, and crumbled in real time.
And finally.
“Lloyd-sama now!”
Xaviel shouted.
At the same time as the shout, the blast containing the aura exploded.
At that moment Lloyd stopped singing.
I put the Hell Knight’s pelvis and legs.
flung to the side
The blast came in an instant.
It swept the upper half of Hell Knight.
– …!
Accurate-!
The Hell Knight’s armor melted.
The greatsword he had put forward for defense and the bones holding it were swept away by the force of the blast that contained his entire upper body. It melted. It was cut, crumbled, powdered, scattered, and blown away.
Click!
The lower body of the barely remaining Hell Knight shook.
One leg knelt down.
Then it tilted to the side.
Soon, all the bones broke and collapsed.
Wow….
The upper half of the body was scattered to dust.
The lower body collapsed and piled up.
A strange silence gripped the interior of the public hall.
Lloyd, who threw himself to the side, exhaled and raised his upper body.
‘I got it.’
Caught a Hell Knight.
himself and Xaviel.
Together, the two of them finished off that great bastard.
But that was then.
“It is still too early to be relieved. He will come back to life.”
Xaviel said with a firm expression.
Even the guy continued to aim his sword at the collapsed pile of Hell Knight’s bones.
“Reviving? Resurrection?”
“I don’t know. It’s just-”
Xaviel responded quickly to the side of the question.
“It was like this before. I had already subdued him before Lloyd came. revived together. As if it hadn’t been hit.”
“for a moment. That means….”
“Your mana has not been dissipated.”
“….”
I heard it and it was true.
It was felt through the asurahan simbeop.
A large amount of mana remained intact in the pile of bones of the collapsed Hell Knight’s lower body.
It didn’t scatter in the slightest.
And that wasn’t all.
‘There are countless mana clumps in the air.’
Her upper body had been turned to dust by being hit with Xaviel’s blast a while ago.
The powder was floating in the air.
But even there, he felt a tremendous amount of mana.
‘What is this?’
Goosebumps sprouted.
That the mana was not dissipated.
That meant it didn’t disappear soon.
‘If that’s the case. that’s right. Come to think of it, there was a similar comment in Sangvis Iron Blood Knight.’
Lloyd suddenly remembered what was in the novel Iron Blooded Knight.
Right before the collapse of the Namaran barrier.
Was it the line spoken by Cannavaro in the novel?
‘Cannavaro was confident that everything would come true if he summoned only the Hell Knight. that’s right. They say that it is extremely strong and will resurrect endlessly even if you kill it. Because it’s the existence of hell. Even if the bones of the whole body were reduced to powder, he said he could be resurrected.’
The Hell Knight was such a terrible existence.
At the same time, the only way to annihilate Hell Knight was briefly mentioned.
‘He said that the only way is to completely deplete the Hell Knight’s mana. So Cannavaro was confident. do that too In order to deplete mana, you have to either lose strength by rolling, hitting, or overusing it, or absorb mana with special magic or tools.’
But who in the world can beat a hell knight to exhaustion?
Or, what kind of tool or magic could absorb the hell knight’s mighty mana?
Both are theoretically possible.
There are hardly any people or tool magic that can actually do it.
So, in the novel, Cannavaro was convinced that Hell Knight would be almost invincible.
‘It must be the same now.’
In the novel, Cannavaro was convinced of Hell Knight’s terrifying resurrection ability.
Judging from what Xaviel had said earlier, it seemed to be true.
That means….
“Then I’ll take care of it.”
“yes?”
Xaviel looked back this way.
The boy’s eyes widened.
The sight made me smile.
It was because I could feel the heart of the guy who was always grumbling but at the crucial moment worried about and protected him.
“I do. You know that. what I can do.”
“Are you talking about that indiscriminate mana absorption?”
“uh.”
fast charging.
Now is the time to need it.
Because I need to drain the hell knight’s mana.
If you don’t do that, you’ll have to deal with the one who resurrects endlessly.
There would be nothing like rapid charging to break the link of resurrection.
“So back off. Don’t let anyone come near you.”
“Mrs. Lloyd.”
“know. I’m worried too. I’m scared.”
It’s true.
The expression of a worried boy.
He faced the guy and smiled.
“You know. I’m not the type to enjoy overeating.”
“Are you all right?”
“It should be fine. Actually I don’t mind either. But it seems there is no other way. I’m a little worried about stomach upset, but I’m going to try as much as I can.”
He pretended to shrug his shoulders.
To be honest, it’s true that I’m worried.
What a hell knight mana.
Can you absorb it indiscriminately and still be fine?
When I thought about that, I felt skeptical about whether this was crazy.
To be honest, I was reluctant and scared.
‘But if you don’t, you’ll die anyway. No matter how much Xaviel was, he wouldn’t be able to handle the infinitely resurrected Hell Knight. that’s me too Everyone in this city is the same.’
So, now that he has subdued Hell Knight for a moment, this is his chance.
You must do this now.
You never know when an opportunity like this will come again.
If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, everyone will suffer.
Of course, he will suffer too.
‘So it’s a judge’s decision anyway.’
death if you don’t.
Even if you fail, you die.
You must succeed to survive.
then there is no choice
I’ll try it once.
Biting his lips like that, he approached the ruined lower half of the Hell Knight.
I took a deep breath and prepared my mind.
“Back off.”
I pushed Xaviel back.
without further hesitation.
I got a steel shovel.
Throwing Chemistry-!
The triple blast shot with full power blew the ceiling of the public hall.
Mana was rapidly depleted and dizziness came.
He endured a bit of nausea and opened the skill window.
You chose to activate the option.
[Shinbeol skill option ⑤: Rapid charging is activated.]
[A large amount of mana is absorbed from random targets around.]
It was then.
The three-pronged mana circle roared.
Started absorbing all mana within the option range.
Nothing was left unattended.
Even the marble on the floor.
Even the rolling debris.
The lower body of the ruined Hell Knight.
Bone meal and mana scattered in the air.
It was all greedily absorbed. sat down
What is easy to absorb and what is heavy.
pure and turbid.
didn’t cover anything.
I stole it, extorted it, robbed it, and made it mine.
If the Hell Knight was summoned with normal strength.
Or if it wasn’t in a state of being suppressed and broken down like now.
I wouldn’t have suffered like this.
It would have been able to resist rapid charging.
But not now.
Summoned in an incomplete form.
It was suppressed and collapsed, leaving a gap.
– …!
In the echo of the violent absorption, the scream of Hell Knight Sir Geolexius, commander of the Hell’s Legion, rang out.
A desperate cry.
that was the last
and after a while
[Shinbeop skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charging has ended.]
Frenzied mana absorption has ended.
The rampaging mana circle calmed down.
Lloyd opened his eyes slowly.
where his gaze is directed.
There were already countless messages floating in the air.
[You have annihilated Sir Hellknight Geolexius, the commander of the army under the King of Hell.]
[The King of Hell is in awe of this tremendous feat you have shown. You began to pay attention to the possibility.]
[You also absorbed a large amount of Hell Knight’s mana and took part of it as your own.] [
This rare experience has had a great impact on your skills and options. ]
[The Mana Heart skill option ‘④ Control Undead’ has been promoted from a skill sub-option to an independent skill.] [The
Undead Control skill has bloomed.] [
The Undead Control skill has been strengthened.] [
Various restrictions on the use of Undead Control skills and Conditions have been significantly eased and deleted.]
