Episode 369:
Inside the Temple of Blood.
There, the three archdukes were watching the battle.
Even if it was not Jormungand’s special Odd Eye, there was no problem in checking the battle outside.
This is because they are all of the anti-aircraft class, so their sense of spirit and cognitive ability are special.
[You did something interesting, Jormungand.]
It was Rosaria who said that.
Unlike the composure shown in front of Taehyun.
From the moment she entered the Temple of Blood, she did not hide her displeased expression.
[Phew. What do you mean?]
Jormungand shrugged his shoulders as if he had no idea what he was talking about.
[You don’t think you can get away with daring to ignore the king’s orders, do you?] Although
each of them swore to obey the king for different reasons.
Among the grand dukes, it is Rosaria who follows the king more than anyone else.
Feeling guilty that she had disobeyed the king’s orders, she wanted to engage in a decisive battle with Jormungand immediately.
However, that would also be Jormungand’s cunning trap.
[Rosaria seems like a cowardly girl.]
Rosaria controlled her emotions by clicking her tongue in response to Jormungand’s obvious provocation.
It happened anyway.
Even if I shouted any further, it would only end up sounding ridiculous.
Rather, it was Igmun who took the obvious bait.
[This may be the first time I agree with Rosaria. You snake bastard.]
The only throne in the Temple of Blood.
Igmun, who was sitting cross-legged in the area that represented the owner of the area, cursed.
He shared his experiences under the first Archduke Lilith, and he and Rosaria can be said to be enemies.
No matter what I thought about the current situation, I had no choice but to side with Rosaria.
[The mean guy said he was taking his time. If it was a trap, it was a pretty good deception.]
There was a bone in those words.
[Okay, this time I guess I’ll have to listen to what the cowardly boy says. Would you like to try to persuade me?]
Puhuhuh.
Jormungand asked, acting like a good man as if he didn’t know anything.
That sight made Igmun even more irritated.
If it were the hot-tempered Orgal or Beelzebub, they would have launched an attack a long time ago.
If it weren’t for the power of the great devil that Kim Tae-hyun used.
If the Elyos of the upper world were not involved in the bet.
I would have pulled out the blood sword and plunged it into the guy’s eye right away.
Unlike in the Demon Sea, what is here is his true body, and this is the place where his power can be most powerful.
Just like Rosaria.
Igmun quietly opened his mouth, quelling his boiling anger.
[Odin’s Valkyrie. Aren’t they the ones who can be said to be of the highest rank among them?]
[Hoo. I remembered it.]
Jormungand said as if complimenting him.
I was once again convinced by his attitude.
It is no coincidence that Valkyrie was chosen among the many Elyos quietly watching the Abyss.
Wow.
Igmun gritted his teeth.
The stronger the power of Taehyun, the key, becomes.
The Archdukes, who could be said to be the highest level of monsters, were gradually regaining their ancient memories.
Among them were memories from before the return and several racial wars.
Unlike the lower world, which spreads out horizontally.
The upper world was a structure made up of bells.
At some point, the underworld ruled by monsters was called the Abyss.
The upper world ruled by the Elyos was called the Heavenly Realm.
The heavenly world was divided into ten classes, and Valkyrie was an Elyos belonging to the seven heavenly realms.
A unit under the direct command of Odin, the lord of the 7 Heavens.
Among them, Gunne Eir Skal holds the position of corps commander.
They are the ones who wiped out a significant number of the highest species in the previous racial war.
Among them were the highest species of Jormungand and Igmun.
No, in the most recent racial war, Igmun’s family was almost completely wiped out by them.
This is because Igmun dealt with the 7 Heavenly Realms.
Jormungand couldn’t have known about it.
Nevertheless, bringing Valkyrie also had the meaning of mocking Igmun.
They say you can’t use your original power in the underworld.
Grand dukes who cannot use their full power due to the king’s restrictions.
And it is extremely unlikely that the descendants who inherited the power of the Grand Duke could win against Valkyrie.
Jormungand wouldn’t know that either.
Nevertheless, the fact that this stage was prepared.
[You’re probably saying that the guys you brought are all thrown away.]
Igmun chewed and spat it out.
I am confident that my guess was not wrong.
[Those are cruel words.]
Jormungand did not deny it and laughed.
[I have known many beings for a long time, but the more I know about you, Jormungand, the more I dislike you.]
Rosaria clicked her tongue and supported Igmun’s words.
It was clearly visible even in her red eyes.
The highest species brought by Jormungand.
These guys are far inferior to Igmun’s clan.
The plan is to use Valkyrie to destroy all top species and ultimately weaken the power of Igmun and Rosaria.
Perhaps the first to be wiped out will be Jormungand’s descendants.
And if the two Valkyries join forces.
Whether it is the highest species of Igmun or the forces of Taehyeon.
Annihilation was as obvious as fire.
[There is no need to say more since you understand my thoughts.]
Jormungand grinned, paying no heed to the mockery of the two archdukes.
[If it’s obvious that everyone will be wiped out anyway. Shouldn’t we at least save the key?]
[The key belongs to the original ghost.]
Igmun said with a spirit of anger, as if he would not tolerate any more pranks.
The inside of the temple vibrated from the strengthened blood-red magic.
[Ahahaha. Everyone is quick to judge. Even after being treated like that, you still don’t know who the original girl is?]
Rosaria also radiated purple magic power.
[Kkkkkk. is it. If so, let’s watch a little more.]
This is the moment Jormungand says so.
Quang.
The Temple of Blood shook from the roar.
Many traces disappeared.
[Wow… I guess the wait won’t be that long.]
Jormungand chuckled.
All of Jormungand’s descendants were destroyed by Valkyrie Skaarl’s skills.
It was truly an arrogant and terrible power vehicle.
Unlike Jormungand, which doesn’t care about the disappearance of its own people.
Igmun and Rosaria’s expressions hardened.
Depending on where Valkyrie Skaarl joins, the current tense battle will tilt to one side.
It is natural that annihilation cannot be avoided.
Unlike the disappeared Demon Sea, ‘Blood Field’ and ‘Apocalypse’ are still alive and well.
Valkyrie Skaarl was seen measuring two areas.
[this. This time, Rosaria, you will prove your words.]
Jormungand said, chuckling.
This is because Skaarl joined the army that was dealing with Taehyun’s forces.
[….]
Rosaria’s expression became even more determined.
* * *
‘Did you say Scal? ‘It’s not good…’
Taehyun thought as he watched Valkyrie about to enter the realm of Apocalypse in the distance.
It was a balance that was barely maintained as a total of ten people attacked.
But what if there is one more enemy?
‘A crushing defeat.’
The worst outcome was easily drawn.
It was just one word, but in reality, the enemy’s strength was more than doubled.
‘We must no longer be fooled by Jormungand’s tricks.’
Taehyun grasped the situation as he watched Skaarl come to the strengthened ‘Apocalypse’ as if it were his home.
Erebos, whose arm had been blown off in the attack a moment ago, was regenerating at high speed, and the seven elders’ magic and breath were firing wildly to buy time.
Fortunately, Gilper was doing well.
This is because even though it has not yet opened its horns and tail, it is giving Gunne a significant attack.
However, she made it a condition of participating in this bet that she would not completely open up her power.
It was difficult to expect any more help than this.
‘If Yeouiju is used in a melee like now… the lives of the elders cannot be guaranteed.’
The elder level was a force worth losing here.
at that time.
Skaarl has completely entered the realm of Apocalypse.
As she watched the battle unfold for a moment, brilliance gathered in her hands.
The spear that seemed like it could pierce anything changed into the shape of a bow.
The bow was aimed at Gilfer, who was confronting Gunne.
‘Should I leave it alone?’
Tiring.
[Skill Dark Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Specify the location.]
Ssssssut.
Take a moment to seep into the darkness.
Taehyeon moved behind Skaarl and swung his dragon slayer sword.
Kyaang!!
Skaarl swung the bow he was aiming at and blocked the dragon slayer sword.
What is it made of?
Even with the slash from the dragon slayer sword, there seemed to be no damage to the bow.
‘How did it become a weapon?’
The holy sword used by Cody Cruz.
Durandal came to mind.
‘That sword… can it turn into such a monstrous weapon?’
Taehyun guessed various possibilities and completely blocked Skaarl’s path.
Erebos and Gilfer, who have fully transformed into giants, will not die easily.
On the other hand, if Skaarl joined, annihilation was a foregone conclusion.
[Why do humans help monsters?]
A neutral voice pierced my ears.
It felt as reverential as a church service.
“Why do monsters follow humans?”
Taehyun asked back, imitating her words.
[Bullshit.]
Skaarl swung his bow once again in reply to the same question.
Huh.
As Taehyun twisted his body to avoid it, all the approaching chains disappeared.
You can use a bow like a sword.
It’s incredible physical ability.
Keying.
Before I knew it, an arrow of brilliance had been created in Skaarl’s other hand.
Tiring.
[Skill Chain of Binding (SSS) has been strengthened. Specifies the target.]
Peeing –
Could it be because the aim was not perfect due to the chains of restraint?
The arrow of brilliance pierced through the apocalypse and flew into the realm of the Blood Field.
and.
Kwaang!!
A huge explosion occurred.
‘Crazy…’
With this level of power, one of Igmun’s highest species would definitely have disappeared.
Before I knew it, Skaarl’s bow was loaded with new arrows.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the location.]
Quaaaaa.
At the same time, a gate was created in front of Taehyun.
Wedge.
The arrow fired was absorbed by the gate.
Kwaang!!
The explosion again occurred far away in the Blood Field.
Taehyun sent the attack with the gate’s apostle.
“It doesn’t look like your accuracy rate is good.”
[….]
At Taehyeon’s provocation, Skaarl drew his bow once again.
Kwaang!!
The gate swallowed the arrow once again.
“There is enough horsepower.”
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption is accelerated.]
[Specify the target.]
[Specify the location.]
The location was fixed to where the blood field was a moment ago.
and.
Kwaang!! Kwaang!! Kwaang!!
In an instant, four of Igmun’s family members lost their lives due to the war of nerves between Taehyeon and Skaarl.
Igmun, who was watching from inside the Temple of Blood, cursed.
* * *
Devlin, a descendant of Igmun.
She let out a curse.
This is because another member of the family lost his life from an arrow that flew through the gate a little while ago.
They were doing well against Valkyrie Eir.
The blood field was almost disarmed due to the unknown power used by Eir, but he endured it well.
However, he lost his life so easily due to an attack that came out of nowhere.
[Kim Tae-hyun…]
Devlin muttered as if chewing and spitting out.
The good news was that another Valkyrie had headed that way.
There is a possibility if only Eir is handled somehow.
If the remaining six of them use Runaway.
It can bring victory.
Taehyun Kim.
Once you take care of this guy, it will soon be your turn.
Devlin radiated blood-red magic as if he had pledged.
unfortunately.
That thought didn’t last long.
