Episode 178
There are stars in the sky.
The stars and the moon keep their place regardless of the night or the day.
However, we tend to dismiss the stars and the moon as things that can only be seen at night.
The sun is so bright I just don’t want to see them.
People often forget about it.
“…”
Night came to the North.
A brutal, sharp night.
The stars shining that night either faded or shimmered.
However, the star that is sadly abandoned burns bright right before that.
So dazzling that you can’t even open your eyes.
‘It’s crazy.’
As he closed his eyes, old memories suddenly came to him.
5 years ago.
when he is eager to learn.
Bernard suddenly said that.
‘What is it? also.’
‘In the future, when I die, you will make me into a sword and use it.’
‘I will do it even if you don’t tell me. I’ll use it until it breaks.’
The sword to be made from it must be useful.
I thought it was simple.
‘Sexy bastard. It’s disgusting, so put it in the north and use it only occasionally. Shouldn’t I also take a break after I die?’
‘Then should I just bury it?’
‘I don’t like that. It’s a contract I swore to my god, but I can’t do that.’
But now that I come to think of it.
‘Isn’t there supposed to be a place for you to return to? unless you are Your roots are in the North… and so shall I be.’
He thought about after death.
I was worried about being left alone.
“Haa…”
Step by step.
The steps approaching him are heavy.
Nevertheless, the superhuman sense more accurately specifies his death and erases any doubt.
“I retreat a little bit. Or at least run away and fight again.”
Colius silenced the tumult of the battlefield.
His appearance alone made the battlefield quiet.
I quietly looked down at Bernard.
“Why did you die with such a satisfied face?”
I still have a lot to learn.
If he goes away first, who will teach him?
who scolds himself
‘I can’t do that either.’
Colleas, who captured the Iron Lord, put it back.
I tried to say a few words for a while, but it was impossible.
he’s not sad
He seems to be very satisfied with his death.
can’t cause
to his death.
I couldn’t help but chant God.
“God…”
The God who always cried out.
It just felt strange today.

“Uh-cha-cha-cha!”
Quaang!!
Aldu strikes the troll’s head with a giant hammer.
Serena immediately shoots an arrow, stealing the troll’s eyesight, and sets a flaming arrow at the wound to burn it.
And Filo’s spearmanship, which is gradually being completed, brings the troll to its knees.
cooong!
“it’s okay!”
“Quick next guy!”
“Awesome!”
Running around the battlefield in groups of three, hunting only trolls, they fought tirelessly.
The walls are gradually crumbling and the trolls keep appearing.
struggled at first
However, after dealing with them a few times, I gradually got used to their movements and strength.
coo-!
“Ovarna! Let me take care of that!”
“i get it.”
“It’s not there, you idiot on the other side!”
“I am not an idiot!”
After swearing at Ovarna, who is heading to a strange place again, Philo stabs her with a spear.
“But where did the northern owner suddenly go?”
“You mean the cheater?”
“uh! I heard you’re Callis’ father!?”
“I did see someone get into a big fight!”
Kwajik! Wiping the demon’s blood, Aldu looked inside the castle gate.
“Besides trolls, there are strong people.”
Elverton was fighting fiercely with someone inside the castle.
I don’t know who it is, but it won’t be an easy foe to see.
“The situation is not good.”
The northern army is fiercely sticking and defending, but is gradually being pushed back.
Desperation cannot make up for it with numbers.
The trolls were their problem.
Reinforced troll.
high regenerative power.
And Sil’s assistant and some strange people were riding in them, so their judgment was quite different at the moment.
Trolls have been foolish since ancient times and have been told that they should aim for that point, but only then can they not do that.
“Isn’t that why Khalis sent us here?”
“Where is this child and what is he doing?”
They sent them straight to Jay Barsh, and what the hell is he doing?
Let’s pour out the complaints and blow the window.
It was only then that the enemy’s screams began to be heard from across the wire.
“You are finally here.”
from the rear ranks of the enemy.
The gray legion clad in ironclad has arrived.
At the head of the legion that ruthlessly sweeps away the enemies, a knight approaches with a terrifying life force.
Callius was seated.
* * *
Caang-!
puck! cooong!
Elverton jumps out from a pile of crumbling buildings and swings his sword.
Tae-Aeng!
There were those who could lightly hit his sword.
A bizarre man with all kinds of iron needles stuck in his head and whole body, and clearly visible threads densely located in his muscles that are about to explode.
However, at first glance, his eyes are gray and the rest of his hair is black.
What that means is:
“Killaban-!”
He is Zervan.
The man whom Elverton adopted as Zervan’s successor.
But a traitor who disappeared during the Orc War.
It was Killavan von Zervan.
“Was it just this much? father.”
Elverton knelt down in front of him as he shrugged his shoulders with his arms hanging down. I could tell what kind of English it was from just looking at his appearance.
“You have become a monster.”
It was a gaze full of contempt.
Look at that figure that seems to have given up on being human. He was in such a shape that it was difficult to call him a human anymore.
To be precise, it’s a modified human being.
I don’t know what he was doing, but the steel needles and threads that penetrated his body seemed to give him strange strength.
“yes. It’s a monster!! Do you know how I endured the past years!? I don’t know! There’s no way you know!”
Caan-! Kang!
Killavan’s sword pointed at Elverton.
I’m barely blocking it, but my wrists are getting sore and my knees are bent.
heavy.
His sword was too heavy for him to handle.
It was so heavy that it was difficult to receive it, as if a thousand pounds were falling down on a single sword strike.
“It was a pain to be alive. I endured all the experiments with the determination that I wanted my body to change like this and become stronger. And I finally got it!!”
I have obtained monstrous power.
“A nasty bastard.”
shit.
Killavan maintained a grotesque smile despite his accusations.
“How does it feel to kneel down to that filthy bastard? this up north! Zervan!! It will fall into the hands of this filthy bastard! How is it. yes?”
Killaban’s sword, who approached with his eyes wide open, surged like lightning.
Elverton’s sword, which he was trying to block, whirled through the air and got stuck on the floor.
hooked
Killavan immediately grabbed Elverton’s face with one hand and pushed him against the wall.
cooong!
“What is this. father. Did you lead Zervan and persecute the collateral with just this kind of power? This is so… insignificant. yes?!”
kudeudeuk.
The sword of the guy who pierced his side dug into Elverton’s wound.
Even though the pain must have been intense enough to cause fainting, Elverton did not scream once.
just patiently endure it.
“That’s why you shouldn’t have looked at me like that.”
“It’s better to be an idiot than a monster!”
Quaang!!
As I kicked Elverton while pushing against the wall, the outer wall collapsed.
Kwachangchang!
Elverton, who rolled around knocking down all the chairs in the building, stretched out on the floor.
falling glass shards.
Stepping on them, the approaching Killavan’s voice echoes calmly.
“Your choice made the current result. your decision!! You destroyed Zervan!! Do you know that, Elverton!!”
Elverton did not bother to answer Killavan’s voice.
This is the prayer hall in the castle.
The figure of the god Balterus was everywhere and there were sacred sculptures in the shape of a sword, but now he was rolling on the floor.
Elverton looked at them and barely raised his upper body.
“Even so, I have no regrets about my choice.”
“…Even if Zervan collapses?”
“Zervan is just Zervan. Even if it collapses, it’s enough to raise it up again. Jervan is for the North and the North is for Carpe. That’s all.”
and.
“There are no fools in Zervan these days.”
Elverton’s grin distorted Killavan’s face.
“The hero of Carpe is my son. Even if Jaybarsh collapses today! If it were my son, I would raise it again! What has been kept for nearly a thousand years is not just a lump of land, but a knight’s conviction!! Your black Zervan who has lost his faith!! Go North!! Do you want to destroy the castle! You will never be able to destroy it with your puny sword!!”
At Elverton’s roaring cry, Killavan deliberately backed away.
However, that is only for a moment.
“Something like that… Do you think something like that will be able to block my sword!!”
Just as Killavan was about to swing his sword.
“Aren’t you expecting too much from a fool?”
Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind him.
Startled, turn around and swing the sword.
Kang-!
Blocking his own sword so easily.
Killavan’s face contorts like a thump.
The one who blocked my sword was none other than Kalis.
It was the Storm Sword-Calis. The person holding it is none other than Zervan’s masterful successor.
“Callius…!!”
It was Callius von Zervan.
Unlike Kilavan, who resents him as soon as he sees him, Callius is calm even when he sees him.
The reason was as follows.
“Who are you?”
“Callius ugh!!”
The rushing Killavan spewed out an ugly death.
For years, only Elverton and Colius.
And the power she had while enduring all sorts of pain for Zervan.
Killavan’s power to expel it explosively was close to that of the Master.
No one has reached mastery in one minute.
however.
‘Yoo Soo-hwa.’
Swoop-!
Lightly shedding his sword, the disturbed waves flow back as if they were returning to their original place, cutting them off in an instant.
“It’s ridiculous…”
Callius, looking at the exactly half-cut Killavan, just doesn’t look the same.
Soon, he turned his gaze to Elverton.
“Shouldn’t the owner of Zervan be defeated by this guy?”
“Kuh-kuh I just kept it for a while until you came. How can I be the owner when there is a guy like you?”
Tsk.
Colius, tongue-tied, ordered the knights to heal him.
There seemed to be no need to use even holy water.
“That sword. Somehow, the energy seems familiar.”
“…”
“Maybe Sir Bernard.”
“…yes.”
“I see.”
Laughing bitterly, Elverton let out a long breath. After praying for him for a while, Elverton grabbed Colius’ hand.
“Callius, no go.”
“Tell me.”
“Zervan…”
Coo-goo-goo-!
With the shaking shaking violently, the gaze turned to the sky.
“Save the North.”
In the northern sky, there was a fairy that powerfully produced spirits.
“Nohitel……”
Where his eyes reach.
The fairy who had been protecting Zervan for over a thousand years according to the contract was trying to destroy everything on her own.
“Please save my old friend from Zervan’s old relationship…”
At the request of Elverton, who held his hand tightly.
Callius got up and turned his back.
He stood up without a word, holding Calis and Bernard in his hands.
Join hands with those who want to protect the North.
Colliers moved on again.
