Chapter 1043 Episode
249 The first sortie of the Ming Dynasty (10)
!
Sigmund, swinging like a whip, struck Luke in the side. Luke managed to block the attack with his sword, but was thrown into the rubble of the collapsed statue.
I’m crying! Luke hurriedly looked away, spitting out the hot blood that had formed in his throat. I saw Van approaching slowly, as if there was no need to rush.
She was already confident of victory.
To be precise, I was sure of it even before the fight. This was because, by the class’s standards, Luke was just an ‘ordinary enemy’.
Although it is called Changseong, its will was twisted a long time ago and it was said to be a fighting spirit, but its sword is old-fashioned. For Van, the current Luke was an easier opponent than his fighting brothers or the alliance’s superhumans.
“A person who doesn’t even know what the Ming Dynasty is… who are they trying to teach?”
Luke said, glaring at Ban.
“You’re so desperate that you start talking nonsense. It’s getting worse. Luke I’m honestly hoping there’s something I can admit to before I kill you. “It’s because I want to think less lightly of the ancestors who believed in you.”
I meant it. However, Luke continued with a story that was completely different from the class’s expectations.
“Ban our Ming Dynasty is fundamentally a race blessed by the sun god.”
“so?”
“It means that we are indebted to the sun god Kingelo in the first place. Do you think that the power you have… was achieved entirely through your own efforts?”
Before Van answered, another thunderbolt struck. The remains of the icon splashed out, spreading thick stone dust. Luke swatted away the subsequent thunderbolts and then straightened his posture.
“You have received the most blessings among the Ming Dynasty. The same goes for your successor, Jin Runkandel… Even if I fall today, you will ultimately follow the blessings and will of the Sun God.”
At those words, Ban stared at Luke with his eyes closed for a while. Then, after a while, he burst out laughing so hard that he broke his back.
“ha ha ha…! “It’s a masterpiece. It’s a masterpiece.”
Even though Luke saw Ban laughing defenselessly, he couldn’t help but attack him. Contrary to what you could see, there were no gaps at all.
“Background or environment ultimately rules everything… I guess that’s what you mean, Luke. It is true that our Ming Dynasty is born with particularly strong fighting skills compared to other creatures. The hypothesis that it is because of the blessings of the sun god is also quite possible. “But then what?”
Luke didn’t answer but concentrated. So that if Sigmund flies at you at any time, you can hit him back.
“Even if you are not the sun god, everything in this world is given its own background from the moment it is born. Some people overcome the unfairness of life, while others resent the world even though they were lucky enough to be born rich and strong. “In the end, the only thing that matters is whether or not you can endure your life.”
Now Van decided not to expect anything from Luke. He was nothing more or less than a rabid bug.
“Whatever the Sun God has given us, we have no intention of becoming his playthings. Because we never expected anything from him. I had one major failure in my life and now I’m getting back on my feet. Instead of falling into vain delusions like you.”
“Then let me ask you this. If I have a sun god, you have Jyn Runkandel. In the end, aren’t you accomplishing things that you couldn’t overcome with your own will, with the help of Jin Runkandel?”
“This is sophistry that is so poor that it is almost regrettable. Still, if I were to give you an answer… How could it be the same between people relying on each other and relying on an illusory being? “It’s a fundamentally different area.”
The conversation is over.
Half of the smiles were gone, and the eyes were cold and hard. Luke had a feeling of death.
The shaman would have realized by now that the first temple had been attacked, but there was no point in sending reinforcements.
In the first place, the power of the Sun God Church was concentrated on one person, Luke. The old heroes who were resurrected were not at a level comparable to Ban and Tuwang.
‘All that’s left is to pray for the shaman to take the believers and hide safely…’
Fast as light.
Sigmund fell on Luke’s forehead. Luke reacted perfectly this time and was able to strike with his greatsword.
“Whoops…!”
However, the moment the swords collided, blood poured out from every pore of Luke’s face. And behind him, a vast sword mark was left across the entire sub-space that went beyond the sanctuary and made up the first temple.
A condensed blow from the King’s Reign Sword.
The destructive power that even Luke, who had climbed the castle, could not fathom was compressed into a small object called a blade and a single slash.
Even if you know it, you cannot avoid it, and even if you block it, you cannot be complete. Even if it’s Changseong.
One knee was buckling under the pressure. Luke barely managed to stop Sigmund with his trembling body trying to muster his strength.
The brain energy that stretched out with the power to split subspace was constantly forming shock waves. There was no longer a single object left in good shape behind Luke’s back.
Even the space was distorted and turned into hundreds of strange whirlpools, into which the remains of the First Temple were constantly being sucked.
“Huh huh huh!”
On the other hand, Ban’s two hands holding the sword do not even move. It just overwhelmed Luke.
Then, Ban struck Sigmund once more. Luke stood up again and struck with his sword, but as soon as they collided, he had no choice but to fall down again.
There was a sound of my kneecap breaking. My molars were broken in my clenched mouth, and I could feel my brain bouncing around in my head.
My vision went out and came back again and again quickly. Luke tried to concentrate somehow and read Ban’s movements, but she still wasn’t in a hurry.
I did not attempt to attack while Luke’s vision was blurred, nor did I take advantage of his broken posture.
Because there was no need for that.
“You are a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty.”
Kwaaang-!
The third blow landed on Luke’s greatsword. My knees were already shattered and my lumbar spine felt like it was about to collapse.
A will that transcends the body, a fighting spirit that transcends death.
Only then did Luke realize. He said he forgot that a long time ago. That’s why his broken legs don’t move and he can’t fight like usual.
It is confined to a limit. Due to the limitations of faith as a sun god religion. So the fact that he ascended to Changseong in the distant past was meaningless from that moment on.
Sigmund continued to strike.
The battle was already closer to one-sided violence than a fight. The dry face of Ban, who was wielding a sword, made her look like a merciless punishment itself, not a person.
“Huh, you’re still breathing, but you lost the sword?”
After completing the twenty-sixth cut, Ban paused for a moment and opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.
Shit wash shush Luke was letting out an uncomfortable breathing that sounded like a metallic sound. He was barely alive and his face was unrecognizable. The arm that had cut my shoulder earlier fell off and disappeared somewhere, and only the leg remained above the knee.
The Light Heart was crushed like a broken watermelon, and the holy body of the Sun God that he had embraced before the battle was flowing out through the cracks.
Then he just dropped the great sword on the ground.
“Kingelo… will… find you…”
“Yes, I’m glad you found the sun god until the end. “If you suddenly found the brothers you abandoned at this moment, I would be so disgusted that I wouldn’t be able to sleep today.”
The brain energy of the Emperor’s reigning sword was converging on Ban’s light heart. After gathering his energy for a moment, Ban raised his sword for the last time.
Then he immediately stabbed Luke in the heart. The blade that entered the crack rotated roughly once, and Luke met his end.
The solar energy flowing from the optical heart continued to slowly gather into the air. Ban stopped his sword while trying to cut down the energy with a displeased feeling.
I thought it was necessary to watch what Taeyanggi was trying to do and where it was headed. If one were to leave subspace and go somewhere else, there was a high possibility that it would be another stronghold of the Sun God Religion.
“Thank you for your hard work, brother Tushin.”
The fighting kings approached Ban’s side.
They were disappointed. It was natural that Ban won, but it was absurd that the former warrior died without even being able to properly counterattack.
“Hmm, isn’t this level weaker than the fighting kings here?”
“Yes. In inaction itself, Luke would be superior, but no matter which of the brothers fought, he would have been able to win in the end. “I was limiting myself… When you return, tell all your brothers that they must not forget this shabby end.”
“All right.”
Ban looked at the sun, which had suddenly turned into a sphere, and the priests he had saved earlier. The priests were still looking for Kingelo.
Ban put his hand on the shoulder of one of them.
“Unlike the three guys next to you, you are not a dead person. And you don’t smell blood.”
“Yes… I am, no, I am.”
“From now on, if you tell us the way to get to the other headquarters of the Sun God Religion, we will give you a chance. “A chance to break away from the cult and live a decent life.”
“There is nothing in this rotten world that can reward us… Ugh.”
Another priest shouted instead, but Kaio lightly snapped his fingers and turned his chin. He lost consciousness with his face half distorted.
“Of course, as Brother Jin said in his speech, proper trial procedures will be followed. This means that if you have not killed an innocent person or committed a serious crime equivalent to that after becoming a member of the Sun God Church, you can make a fresh start.”
“Priest, no.”
“evil.”
The other two priests whom the class classified as dead also lost consciousness.
“What are you going to do?”
The remaining priest looked back and forth between the fallen priests and the class and trembled. He even saw Luke’s gruesome corpse in front of him, and for the first time, he felt his faith wavering.
Even if he didn’t help, from Van’s perspective, it was enough to just take the priests to Valeria. And the priest also knew it well.
“Choi… I will help you to the best of my knowledge. Well, first of all, there is a path that leads to the second temple from here. “If it wasn’t destroyed…”
Ban nodded, as if satisfied.
“Guide me. “We are leaving right now.”
