Episode 157
“Are you sure?”
“yes. My spear told me that this is where they are hiding.”
The imperial knight who handed the grapes to the squirrel answered confidently.
“Your ‘Whispering Spear’ is trustworthy. Start right away.”
Whispering Lessie.
The spear held by the knight is a mysterious spear capable of communicating and communicating with animals.
It is very unlikely that the information the animals tell us is false.
So the guy is over there.
A forest a little far from Voltan.
They’re hiding in a forest that doesn’t even have a name.
“But boss. He might be a dragon slayer. Will it be okay with us…?”
At the words of his subordinate, the captain who led the knights shouted resolutely.
“gibberish! the dragon is gone It fell from the sky and crashed, but there’s no way the dragon that shattered the bullets in half died. And if he really did kill the dragon.”
He wouldn’t have been safe either.
If now is not an opportunity, when will it be an opportunity?
“The prestige of the empire has fallen to the ground. If the Emperor knew this, we would not be able to escape severe punishment.”
There is only now to hit.
“But isn’t it right to bring even quillode…”
The twelfth spear of the empire, quillode.
The quill rod of the recital.
He is the only Master in Voltan.
Wouldn’t it be nice to play with him?
“A master who dies anyway. You don’t have to pass the ball to the spearman. Think about it. If we kill him single-handedly, the emperor might rain down the Spear Water, and we too might become masters.”
Seongsu Chang.
When the story came out, their dissatisfied expressions softened a little.
Among the knights of the empire, there is no one who does not know the miraculous utility of Seongsu Chang.
thump. The captain pounded his chest and boasted.
“I am different from Quillod. won’t let anyone die Trust me!”
The atmosphere of the knights, who were protesting against the words of the captain, calmed down.
As soon as he chinned, a knight with a whispering spear led the way.
but immediately.
Arrows flew from the forest.
Kwajak!
The knight captain’s halberd immediately hit the arrow.
“It’s already been discovered.”
“What should I do?”
“The main thing is that they did not drag us in and fired a guard shot, even though they already knew it! It’s also proof that their leader is injured! Charge!”
Thirty imperial knights charged into an unknown forest.
Puff Puff!
“Kuk!”
I thought it was just an arrow, but it was sharper than expected.
Not only the energy contained in each arrow, but also the bending howitzer, the knights were startled and avoided, colliding with each other and even getting hit by blind arrows.
As they approached the forest, the bodies of the knights were becoming hedgehogs.
“Leader! Their arrows!”
“Can not help it! If you take care of those guys, it’s only a matter of time before you take care of the chief! Hold on and clear the way!!”
The arrows are quite sharp, but they are just arrows.
How can you be called a knight of the empire if you can’t endure this much!
“Follow me!!”
The moment I shouted while holding my halberd high.
Startle.
In an instant, the hair all over her body stood out.
Soon, a line of arrows burning red came in front of his eyes.
“Leader!!”
Perong!
Roaring! The body of the knight captain who was hit in the forehead by a blazing arrow collapsed.
“Hey hey! Bastards!! Where are you! Come out right now!!”
hooked! Puff! Chaeng Chaeng!
The knights were furious and rushed into the forest, but no one could be found.
All you can hear is the silence of the forest. Only the screams of the knights echoed.

trudged.
As he walked to the scene of battle, Colius’ face was expressionless as usual.
“How was it?”
“It was great.”
“Is that so…”
However, both Serena, who posted the report, and Callius, who received the report, didn’t look too happy.
The reason is the people who stood by Serena’s side.
It was because of the beings with black armor and gray aura.
They were originally thinner and longer than other knights.
And they were carrying all the bows and quivers, but originally they were not in the Ashen Legion of Calius.
Yes.
They are the newcomers this time.
They were the slaves he had saved from Lactus’ garden.
“It was their will and it was my will. Please don’t make that face.”
“hmm.”
Callius nodded.
And I saw the elven knights lined up.
Those who had their eyes gouged out, their ears ripped out, and their tongues cut out to enslave them from long ago.
At first, I didn’t know their intentions well because of the lack of communication.
However, as Serena took the time to write and receive letters on her palms, she was able to accurately understand their intentions.
one thing they wanted.
It was revenge and the power to achieve it.
However, the tendons of their hands and feet were cut, and other than that, the body was severely damaged that was not visible on the surface.
so they asked.
What about those who are neither the living nor the dead, lined up beside the one who saved them?
The result of defining and informing about the Ashen Legion for quite a long time.
They all wanted new powers.
Colius understood and accepted them.
Of course, not all were like that.
Of the 56 slaves rescued from the garden, only 7 wanted new powers.
The rest were dubious.
So in time, by seven, Colius himself killed and raised them up.
Eventually, he raised all 56 of them to become Gray Knights… No.
made a new birth
“I have restored both sight and hearing. Originally, they were people with developed tactile senses, senses, or senses, so expectations for their potential are very high.”
“is it.”
“Yes, all of them were great forest warriors, so the potential is very high. It still needs time to adapt to the new power, but if that is met, it will surely be of help to the master…” “
There is no need to explain that much. Even if it doesn’t live up to expectations, I’ll keep it.”
“…thank you.”
Maybe they were afraid that Colliers would throw them out.
Serena made it clear that her worries were groundless and looked at them.
No, I looked at the status window to be precise.
【List of Ashen Corps】
General of the General ―
General ―
Sanggun : 2
General : 16 ▶ 19
Elite Knight : 659 ▶ 712
Normal Knight : 514
Yes. It was just rain.
No one would have hired slaves to look after Lactus’ garden.
He must have captured the elite among the heroes of the battle and turned them into slaves.
The proof is also in front of my eyes, so
‘three generals. Are all the rest elite? It’s hard to guess how strong they were originally.’
The knights of the Ashen Legion, who are made into iron lords, are all reborn with their stats reduced by half compared to their original strength.
Still, since the level of the elves ranged from the elite to the generals, it was possible to guess that all of them were originally infinitely close to masters.
Perhaps it was the elite of the elite among the elves.
In any case, it’s not bad.
[Thank you on behalf of them.]
[Thank you.]
[Thank you!]
The three elven knights who became generals knelt down to express their gratitude.
The elites were not yet at the level of generals, although communication was not smooth.
Those who became knights themselves in the first place seemed more emotional.
“name is.”
[Keen.]
[Red.]
[De.]
Callius nodded.
“I won’t answer your summons as much as when I’m in the forest, so do what’s convenient for you.”
There is no one like them as skirmishers.
Although their choice was a bit bitter as they turned to him and gained the power of revenge, it was rather a good thing for Colius himself.
That’s right!
Watching the elven knights vanish in an instant, Callius used his demonic power to turn the cut tree into a chair wrapped in vines and sat down.
Serena swallowed her surprise inwardly as she saw that the level of application of her demonic powers was developing day by day.
“Is that the sword you got this time?”
“okay.”
Colius had two swords in his hands.
One is a sword made of dragons.
The other was a sword made by a gatekeeper in the flower garden.
『Fire Dragon Sword – Erbuetrou』
Grade –
Soul imbued with spirit – Erbuetrou’s
unique ability – Breath of the Fire Dragon.
[Fire Dragon’s Rage]
– The more you use the sword, the more you will buy the Fire Dragon’s wrath.
“Just as expected.”
You don’t need to see anything else.
unique abilities.
The Fire Dragon’s breath must have the power to imitate the Fire Dragon’s breath in a limited way.
It’s probably a sword that allows you to use a limited breath.
Being able to use the fire dragon’s breath itself is a great advantage.
The fire dragon’s breath, which burned down the Voltan area, possessed tremendous destructive power. If you can use it in a limited way, it will be a huge blow.
Even if it’s a sub-ryong, a dragon is a dragon.
It was disappointing that it was only a spirit level, but it is a good enough sword nonetheless.
Besides, Colius already had a light dragon sword. If used in combination with Gwangryong’s Breath, it will exert power that is not bad even compared to the original breath.
The limitations of the spirit sword were not a problem for Colius.
In addition, the anger of the fire dragon is already a body that has already decided to take a look at the dragon.
decided not to care
“Shall we try?”
After consciously telling the elves scattered in the forest to avoid it, he raised the Fire Dragon Sword.
After injecting divine power, the sword began to blaze.
It feels like something thick magma is burning, not a normal flame.
Callius immediately drew the light dragon’s breath to the fire dragon sword.
at the same time. Fire Dragon Sword’s unique ability.
He raised the fire dragon’s breath.
Two breaths were mingling in the trembling Fire Dragon Sword.
Dark red intense auras mixed together.
But it seemed insufficient.
No, it’s enough, but I felt like I could fill it up more.
That’s what Collier’s intuition was like.
So he raised the remnants.
A gray aura slowly rose from his whole body.
Koo Goo Goo!
The whole area is oppressed by a mighty energy.
“Kuk!”
A moan escaped Serena’s mouth at the tremendous force and pressure.
Colius did not delay any longer.
“Breath of the Fire Dragon.”
Soon after, I strongly swung the Fire Dragon Sword.
Aaaaaaaaaaa!!
In a straight line, fire like the dragon’s breath devastated the forest.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The earth’s axis shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and the forest was burned in a huge straight line, leaving no trace.
Despite the considerable distance, it was enough to tear down the walls of Voltan.
“Heeep!”
Startled, Serena hiccupped, and even Colius blinked at the unexpected force.
“I didn’t expect much because it’s a spiritual sword, but it’s more powerful than I thought.”
No, it’s not just the power of the sword. The two swords were merged into one, and the remnants created by Colius were mixed.
It happened because of that.
The ship seemed to have more power than the breath that the Fire Dragon had originally fired.
Of course, the spirit sword had its limits.
Just a moment ago, the black flames were cold.
‘It seems that once you use it, you can’t use it for a certain period of time.’
The flames did not soar even after injecting more divine power.
That’s why it must have had that much power. It was understandable enough.
Still, seeing the firepower of the fire dragon sword slowly rising, Callius thought.
“If you want to rewrite this, roughly…”
“roughly…?”
“I think it should be three days.”
3 days cooldown.
That alone made it a rather ambiguous sword.
‘I’ll have to use it for a while and then give it to Neol or another knight.’
Garcia, a fellow general, tends to use spears, so it would be appropriate to give it to Niol.
Because she tends to use swordsmanship that suits a light sharpened sword.
It also goes well with the Fire Dragon Sword, which has strong instantaneous firepower.
The blade of the Fire Dragon Sword itself is also thin.
“I’m writing some now.”
It seemed better to give it to him later when he had more swords.
Carlyas, who had packed the fire dragon sword, took out a sword made from gatekeepers.
But at that moment.
[The 12th Spear of the Empire. You defeated the chanter quillord with a single blow.]
[An incredible achievement has been achieved.]
[No other Transcendentalist has ever defeated the same Transcendentalist with a single blow.]
[Special reward will be given.]
“?”
Colius’ head tilted as if he was dumbfounded by the message window that suddenly popped up.
