Episode 644. First Blade (1)
Meanwhile Elise is fighting Belus.
Even in Teresa’s presence, a fierce battle was continuing.
Whoops!
Dazzling lights broke through the clouds and fell one after another.
Cuckoo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The beautiful stars fell one after the other. Unknown and the two knights of the Book of Revelation, who were conducting a surprise attack, were suddenly exposed to a wide area.
The ground turned into a muddy field and the surrounding area was filled with craters where meteors fell.
“As you’ve heard, it’s great.”
“I agree with you. Among the saints I’ve dealt with, she’s the most difficult to deal with.”
Two knights in charge of disease and death fixed their swords.
Saints who can be said to be the messengers of God.
Up to now, thousands of saints in the Tower of Trials have made a name for themselves under the radiance of Eden, but Teresa de Laurencia was not lacking in being the first among them.
Except for Joan of Arc, who rose to the ranks of great heroes in a human body.
“I see, that person deserves to be a companion.”
Unknown also tasted Teresa’s strong momentum.
I definitely thought that Alice’s side would be several times more difficult, but it wasn’t easy either this side or that side.
but.
No matter how strong he is, his opponent is not Kang Jin-hyeok.
Outstanding talent and overwhelming skills.
Even if other phrases and rhetoric are attached to it, it is said that it does not pass by the realm of genius.
To become a deceased person in the true sense, I needed ‘something’ beyond that.
‘Well, it’s true that they can become wings for Kang Jin-hyeok, so I guess I need to cut off the buds in advance.’
It is his will and will not to leave even a small variable behind.
Unknown intended to faithfully carry out the orders given to him.
Sreung!
A dark red river gushed from Hongryeon and Barnard.
At the same time, Unknown stepped in between the two knights.
[Trait ‘Shadow Kill’ is activated!]
“Big!?”
Kwaaang!
Teresa hurriedly blocked the way with a shield imbued with divine power.
However, the speed at which Unknown penetrated was several times faster.
After completing the short-distance movement, Unknown fiercely dug into the gap where his divine power had not yet spread.
Kakakakakang!
Sparks flew and the sound of metal clashing resounded.
Unknown, who fully activated the ‘Grave of Swords’, could not be completely blocked with moderate shield skills.
…It’s scary.
The two knights of the Book of Revelation were also formidable enemies, but Unknown was several times more difficult than them.
Theresa’s eyes moved quickly.
The speed at which the sword and shield move had already reached the realm of foresight, not prediction.
Even so…
Papat! Awesome!
The wounds on the body continued to increase.
Now there were more sword attacks that could not be blocked than blocked.
The more blood shed, the more her consciousness faded.
Right then.
– Leave it to me.
A soft voice whispered in Theresa’s ear.
It is a dark voice of a corrupted version.
“no!”
Theresa hurriedly resisted the sweet temptation.
The alter ego that always pops up when you are in a crisis or when the situation is rapidly deteriorating. He knew better than anyone else that if he responded to that voice, he would fall deeper and deeper into the abyss.
-That’s stupid. Isn’t it something you have to live and see? Only then can you keep your sanity or pray!
The fallen personality raised its voice again.
This time the voice seemed sweeter and sweeter.
however.
“…”
Theresa hammered her head horizontally, pursed lips.
“It’s like muttering into the air during a fight. Looks like he was arguing with another personality again. Personally, I recommend listening to that personality…”
“I won’t pass. Even for me. And for everyone.”
“Hmm. The choice is yours.”
Unknown swung Balmung with Tombgrave’s arm.
Unlike a dagger, a greatsword had heavy magical power that could split even a mountain. The body that made it possible was also equipped.
The sword crossed the side.
It’s literally a piece of paper.
He barely succeeded in deflecting a direct hit, but failed to fully shed the shock.
Tuquaang!
Theresa’s body bounced sideways for a long time.
A perfectly broken balance.
“The gap has increased.”
“Isn’t it like the first time?”
The disease and death knights had no time to catch their breath before unleashing their worst traits.
[The two knights activate their unique ability, ‘Sword of the End!
‘
The sword imbued with the power of ‘death’ and ‘disease’ ate away a handful of divine power.
“This is what breathing is all about.”
Unknown put a spoonful on the void of divine power created by the two knights.
A light but never light sword of the strongest in Murim.
[Cheonma Singong – ‘Devil’s Island’ is activated!]
The black strong energy was condensed into a single point. The strong air that soared to reach the sky soon divided into dozens of menacing lines and rushed.
That’s it… Kwaaaang!
“Aagh!”
with a sharp scream. A terrible pain engulfed his whole body.
The bedroom was completely destroyed and Theresa flew farther and farther through wall after wall.
And there…
…Standed by Alice, pushed to her limits.
⁕⁕⁕
“Stupid lady! Are you okay!?”
Alice shouted at Theresa.
“…”
No matter how much I call, there is no response.
Theresa, who had lost consciousness, was in an abnormal state at first glance.
I didn’t know if I was attacked even once, I might die right away.
However, Alice’s situation was not so easy to care about Theresa.
It was because Belus, who raised the speed to the limit by manipulating the system, pushed Elise to the limit.
“Ohh. Looks like we’ll all meet here. Apparently, the saintess hunt didn’t go well?”
“Hunting wasn’t easy because it was more lively than I thought. It seems that Elise is still there. It’s not like it’s because of the long-term bond, right?”
“Can that be? I was just being a little careful because I was hunting the strongest family head of all time. Even that will end soon.”
Unknown and Bellus talked casually.
As the two said, the scale was tilted quite to one side.
The opponent had little loss of stamina and mana. Because the four knights and the Shade Reaper joined after that.
There is no retreat and cannot call for support.
This is because Cheon Yoo-seong, Lee Tae-min, and Yoo Yeon-hwa left right after the festival ended earlier to take charge of the barrier outside the fortress.
That’s why…
I can’t abandon this foolish saintess.
Even though I hate you and I love you, I don’t feel like a stranger anymore because of the affection I’ve accumulated over the years.
Even if there is a limit to getting out of this place, we have no choice but to share our destiny.
Elise stood in front of Theresa as if to protect her.
“It is a tearful comrade-in-arms. Well, for me, it’s better to persevere until the very end than to give up meekly.”
Unknown took out a strangely shaped flask and glass bottle from the subspace.
Red blood and black smoke radiated ominous energy and burned.
“What is that…?”
“Ugh. How would you describe it? Let’s call it a ‘drug that makes you happy’ that allows you to put down the heavy burden of duty and responsibility. You’ll be eating it soon, so don’t be too curious.”
“Do you think that would work for Jim?”
“It will probably work. It is a much more powerful drug than you might think.”
“You are an arrogant fellow. When I see you talking like that.”
Elise summoned the Blood Spears once again.
At the same time, countless flowers made of blood began to bloom.
[Revelation of the Gaebyeok – ‘Blood Rose’ is activated!]
Ugh!
A red ring glowed and a pair of wings spread wide.
One-on-one battle situation. To overturn this, all you have to do is unsparingly use your mana and unleash a wide-area weapon.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
In an instant, red waves flooded in all directions.
Waves of fresh blood that tore everything in sight hit the enemies.
As the surroundings turned red, Elise threw herself at the weakest enemy.
‘Articles of Disease’.
Unlike other knights who specialized in interpersonal warfare, they specialized in anti-army warfare and massacre, so they were relatively vulnerable to surprise attacks.
I thought so.
[The four knights activate their special skill ‘Shared Eye’!]
The device to compensate for that weakness was already perfectly equipped.
Just before Alice’s skewer touched the knight of disease, other knights, sensing a crisis, rushed in.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The skewers were blocked in vain, and Alice’s location was exposed.
“Keeeh!”
The Shade Reaper brandished a long scythe.
A scythe with a ‘defense ignoring’ effect cannot be blocked even with a pureblood shield.
He barely managed to avoid the scythe, but this time he was caught by Belus, who was moving at high speed.
hooked!
The rapier pierced his shoulder and disappeared.
“Kuk!”
Elise grabbed her shoulder.
Originally, regeneration should begin immediately, but the wound did not easily recover, perhaps due to the influence of demonic energy.
Whoops!
From a distance, Unknown took out a large longbow and fired magic bullets.
Because he brought Hercules’ ability using ‘Nemesis’, the power of each arrow was beyond imagination.
Kwaaang!
Pupperpuppung!
It’s hard to be safe if you get hit directly.
Eris threw her body here and there while holding Theresa afloat with her magical powers.
“hey! you stupid! Come on, wake up! Anyway, not even a single bit of help…!”
Ellis pinched Theresa’s cheek.
“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh! sick! sick!”
Only then did Teresa open her eyes.
“All plans to defeat each one have failed! Get up quickly and blow them all away with that proud bastard’s holy power or whatever!”
“I’m sorry. Because her strength hasn’t been gathered yet…”
Unlike Elise, Teresa still needed more time to recover, as her magical energy was weak.
“Because it’s a real burden. It’s just unnecessarily heavy! Go on a diet, you fool!”
Elise ruffled Theresa’s hair.
Right then.
Pachichik…!
A black hexahedron continued along the bottom of his feet.
[The Shade Ripper activates the unique voice ‘Trumpet of Promise’!]
“Kieeh!”
The cloud of blood disappeared in an instant, accompanied by a tearing scream.
[The power of each individual’s unique spear is reduced by 30%!]
[The basic stats of the beings in charge of the Apocalypse ‘covenant’ are increased by 15%!]
The last cornerstone to complete the apocalypse.
“I’ll try to take only arms and legs for now.”
Bellus’ rapier aimed at Elise’s thigh.
timing and speed.
And even the digging angle.
There was absolutely no way to stop it.
⁕⁕⁕
However, what resonated was not a flesh-piercing sound, but a sharp metallic sound.
Kaaang!
The rapier was blocked in the air.
A splendid dagger tinged with purple light…
…was holding it in the tower.
“contractor!”
“Mr. Jinhyeok!”
Alice and Teresa shouted at the same time.
It was a hellish time when the odds were nowhere to be seen. Finally, stronger reinforcements than anyone else arrived.
