Episode 514. Mythical War (1)
“Zeus! What is this?”
Vendivia jumped up from her seat.
Fighting was allowed during the race, but that was only between two wagons.
This did not mean that outside forces were allowed to intervene.
But since Olympus has been so openly provocative… Of course, as a senior manager, I have no choice but to protest.
But Zeus replied without changing his expression.
“I just helped lightly to balance it out.”
“Equity? Do you think that makes sense?”
“Kang Jin-hyeok asked the blacksmith on the other floor to make a wagon. Furthermore, instead of using horses, they used ancient species and other summoned animals. If so, wouldn’t it be too much of a request for us to have this much leeway?”
Bite the opponent’s fault and hang on.
This time, Vendivia’s words suddenly stopped because there was no reason attributable to them.
…Of course, I could have asked if I hadn’t raised an objection right away at the time.
That kind of logic couldn’t work for Zeus
. “Don’t worry. I won’t do more than this.”
“That’s what you mean…! Aren’t the warriors you sent among me in the first place?”
Among the sirens and gargoyles, warriors riding Pegasus were seen.
They were not just ordinary warriors, but heroes of Greek mythology who were given ‘ranks’ and ‘names’.
“Not many, just four or five people mixed together. If it’s even that much of a problem, it’s rather Bendivia. It seems that you only show favoritism to Kang Jin-hyeok and the late Inmul Corporation.”
Zeus looked at the other administrators as if asking for their consent.
“Meeeeeh… that certainly makes sense.”
A new figure who came here after the race started.
The senior manager in the shape of a red goat nodded.
“Haeteis…”
“I support Zeus’ words. Fairness is a natural virtue that managers should have. isn’t it? Mr. Hastings?”
“…okay.”
Hastings nodded reluctantly.
After falling out of Nyarlathotep’s eyes, Hateis took his place.
Hasting’s eyes flashed with a mixture of fear, envy, and hatred for him.
– Whoops. Don’t feel too bad about it. Do you know? Will there be new opportunities for you too? Until then, I hope you will follow me carefully. Unless you want to be completely destroyed.
That’s what he said to his face when he first met Hateis.
But Hastings couldn’t even say anything.
really. Because this was the last chance.
When Tace and Hasting agreed to do so, the excuse for Vendivia to step out disappeared.
Back…
All Bendivia could do was look at Jinhyeok with worried eyes.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
“Keeeh!”
“Koooo!”
A huge number of monsters filled the sky.
At first glance, there is no end in sight.
It was impossible just to face that many things, but winning the race on top of that didn’t make any sense at all.
No, in the first place, it was a question whether each one of them could survive against the monsters with terrifying magical power.
Each person’s magic power was a law that determined the total amount.
But just then
“I will… buy time.”
Chun Yoo-seong stepped in front of the carriage.
“Yoo Yoo-seong?”
Theresa’s eyes widened.
He realized what Chun Yu-seong was trying to say.
“Anyway, even if I stay here, my feet are tied up. It is better for someone to sacrifice than to do nothing together. And if it’s someone who can play a stable long-term battle, it’s right for me to stay.”
Chun Yuseong finished speaking and this time glanced at Jinhyeok.
One thing that hasn’t been settled yet.
His only regret was that he couldn’t win against Jinhyeok and had to end it like this.
“Don’t be too relieved. Even in hell, I’ll be waiting for you to come. I hope you don’t avoid the game then, even if you think about today’s work.”
Awesome!
The wagon fragments were cut off with a single stroke of a light knife.
[Cheon Yoo-seong activates Lv16 ‘Void Water’!]
Ugh!
Chun Yoo-seong got on top of the rising debris.
At the same time, blue waves began to rise along the blade.
Fully expressed swordsmanship.
As the sword began to sing, the sword castle became a great mountain that could withstand thousands of enemies.
The willingness to give up one’s own life for the sake of one’s comrades is certainly moving.
It’s touching, but…
“Yoo Seong-ah.”
“done. I didn’t mean to say thank you.”
“Yoo… Seong-ah?”
“Just leave without saying anything. Because I’m really fine.”
“No, that’s not it…”
Jinhyeok scratched his head.
What’s the point of saying this at this timing when we’ve poured out a lot of words overflowing with middle school two
?
If you acted with your hands and feet tied up until now.
From now on, you can fight with 100% of your strength.
Jinhyeok nodded towards the bottom of the carriage.
Starting with that…
Kwaaaang!
Golden spears rose from the ground.
“I was waiting! How dare you do something like this with this body in front of you! I’ll grind you down to the bone!”
[Anubis used the ‘Army of Judgment’!]
[Jackal armies of death protect you!]
Guardians with black skin and jackal heads.
Anubis’ direct corps responded with javelins.
Pupper puck!
Puffer Puck!
“Keeeh!”
“Keeck!”
The flying sirens and gargoyles fell through the window.
Beriel, who had gathered all her mana there, unleashed a tornado made of black magic.
“You look at the devil world too funny.”
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Numerous black tornadoes engulfing floating rocks whole.
The natural disaster, which tore everything caught up in it, inflicted damage beyond imagination to the Greek army.
“We have plenty of reinforcements.”
I just couldn’t intervene because the situation wasn’t right.
“By the way, Yoosung… what? If we meet again in hell, let’s fight?”
Pooh!
No, even middle school students who have become black these days won’t say such a thing.
After kicking the blankets for the rest of my life, it was at a level where I could do it one more time at the coffin.
“…”
Chun Yoo-seong’s face turned red.
My hands and feet trembled with shame and anger.
“It’s not like that.”
No, the voice is like that.
“Since I recorded this separately, I will play it whenever I am bored until I die. Or it would be okay to sell it as a set product with a maid outfit to the Trial Tower community.”
“You…”
Serung!
The half-retracted sword was drawn again.
Ah…
did I just cross the line a bit?
Jinhyuk hurriedly cleared his throat.
“Kuhm! no, that’s what it says Could I possibly do that? Haha…. Let’s move faster than that. We have to reverse while Beriel and Anubis pull time.”
“… Damn, I’ll definitely remember this.”
Chun Youseong reluctantly put the sword in.
But just then
Buuuung…
One Pegasus approached at high speed from a group of black tornadoes.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
The one who broke through that gap…
must be one of those who fall under the ‘Heroic’ category.
As expected, a muscular man wearing dazzling armor quickly reached Jinhyeok’s carriage.
Eyes flashing between the helmets.
there’s no way you wouldn’t know
How could I not know?
The great hero ‘Hector’ who made an outstanding performance in the Trojan War.
“You hurt your comrades with evil magic. I will pay for this in blood!”
Hector blocked the way with a cold, subdued voice.
A posture with a round shield in front and a long spear.
The combat method specialized in stabbing was Hector’s favorite special move.
“Left, not right!”
Chun Yuseong urgently shouted.
Hector’s horsemanship was so skillful and splendid that he had to change horses on the way.
Fain!
The spear rushed towards a point.
Theresa, who was in the lead, lowered the shield she was holding.
[Teresa activates Lv19 ‘Holy Tiger’!] A
huge cross appeared in front of the shield and faced the spear head-on.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Kwaaang!
The spears blew like a storm, but Theresa calmly deflected all attacks.
“Leave the defense to me.”
A solid paladin armed with holy power.
After all, the presence of Teresa in a battle like this was reassuring in and of itself.
But it was still too early to breathe.
In the floating stone where the Greek deities were far away…
It was because a completely different kind of life was detected.
‘Are you trying to move after all…’
Olympus, which has been showing excessively aggressive moves lately.
I didn’t think they would be satisfied just because they destroyed one Asgard.
In particular, it was a known fact that he would be greedy even more since he was in contact with India and Eden behind the scenes.
If that’s the case…
Now, when a large number of deities are gathering, it would be the right time.
This was the right time to reveal his ambitions and throw the balance off with a single move.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
The throne on which Zeus sat was cracked.
His forehead, which showed a lot of discomfort, twitched.
“Zeus! A third of the troops we’ve sent have been killed or incapacitated. It’s to the point where the rest of us find it too much to do just by avoiding ourselves!”
“Hector and Jason are fighting hard, but it won’t be easy to inflict a direct blow.”
Poseidon and Hermes also added a word each.
In fact, making time has become a waste.
Now we are in a position to worry about how to deal with the loss of troops.
“Father…”
Athena murmured heavily.
A decision must be made before it is too late.
Slap! Zeus smashed the cup containing ambrosia.
Red wine gushed out through the shattered glass.
“Wake up.”
A low, deep voice rang out.
and.
Everything came down to that one word.
“All right.”
“I was waiting for you.”
“at las…!”
Cuckoo coo coo!
In an instant, the entire stairway shook.
Floating stones floating in the sky.
The ground and the rivers flowing along it also stopped as if frozen.
[The upper deity, ‘Olympos’, stops the ‘Sleep Bell’.]
[The slumbering monsters in mythology wake up.]
The incidents happened simultaneously.
A mound of earth is dug up or a cliff of floating stone cracks. The huge monsters were released from deep sleep one by one.
Lion of Nemea.
sphinx.
Cyclops.
and hydra.
Named demons symbolizing Greek mythology appeared one after another.
And then…
Bubbling!
The great river parted, and in its place a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared.
It was the mouth of a monster hundreds of meters in diameter.
[The named monster ‘Caribdis’ is manifesting!]
A predator that devours everything floating on the water.
The cursed goddess has awakened to devour those who defy Olympus.
“The joke is over. Everyone prepare for battle.”
Zeus rose from his seat.
