Episode 669
“Uh, Your Highness!”
“…What are you talking about now?”
“God, how dare you insult God!”
“Why are the eyes black?…”
The high-ranking priests and the kingdom’s executives trembled their chins as they looked at King Baurn’s black eyes.
“You’re not surprised.”
King Baurn smiled softly at Raon, not paying attention to the wide-eyed priests. Jet-black demonic energy crept over his shoulders.
“Did you know from the beginning?”
“I wasn’t sure.”
Raon shook his head as he looked at King Baurn’s grotesquely twisted eyes.
“After hearing what Lord Hopen said, I thought it was most suspicious.”
He pointed to Hoppen, whose eyes were red as if he could not believe his father’s transformation.
“What did you mean?”
King Baurn touched his chin as if he was curious.
“You said that when Lord Byton died, you were so overcome with grief that you could do nothing for a while. “It makes no common sense for someone who loves his son so much to send his youngest son on a dangerous mission that has not been properly investigated.”
Raon calmly closed his eyes and opened them.
“Furthermore, rather than being relieved that your youngest son returned safely, you only repeated empty words of gratitude to me.”
King Baurn did not call Hofen separately to talk to him, nor did he impose disciplinary action on the intelligence department for its lax investigation.
It was an action that a father who lost three sons could never show.
“It may be that there is something more important than your son, or that you have made a big mental change, or both.”
Raon continued speaking with confidence.
“Isn’t the reason why you sent troops to the distant Divarn Mountain without an accurate investigation to prevent Sieghart from getting involved in this matter?”
“Ha…”
King Baurn lightly tapped his forehead.
“Exactly. “You’re completely reading my mind.”
He smiled slightly and nodded to his only son. There was a strange combination of warmth and coldness in that gaze.
“It seems like my impatience has been revealed as there is not much time left until the grand finale. It’s a shame. “I wanted to see you surprised.”
Baurn nodded without the slightest embarrassment. It was an expression that obediently acknowledged that he was the instigator of this incident.
“Ah, father. “Really, my father…”
Hopen said, as if he still couldn’t believe it. His hands were shaking as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Fuck you!”
Saint Olga ground her teeth so hard that her molars broke.
“I didn’t believe it! I didn’t believe it until the end! “Why on earth are you doing this shit!”
She had transparent tears that did not match her bright eyes.
“Ji, what’s going on now?”
Paladin Kinnear chewed his lip as he touched his gauntlets.
“Why are you talking as if Your Highness is the culprit!”
He looked at King Baurn and screamed.
“You two don’t understand me either.”
King Baurn looked at the saintess and Kinnear in turn and nodded calmly.
“I love our kingdom so much. “It is a place more precious than my life.”
He raised his finger and pointed to the kingdom where darkness was gradually filling up.
“But there’s something I’ve learned since becoming king. “Contrary to my heart, this huge kingdom is a very fragile place that can disappear with a single wave of someone’s hand.”
“What is that…”
“The first one was killed by the Demon of the Black Tower during the second mission. They say it was chewed up and eaten without leaving even a single piece of bone. The second son went out to serve the Holy Spirit and was torn limb from limb by the Iron Blood Demon of Eden and died. Even though my two beloved sons were killed, I couldn’t argue. because?”
The corners of Baurn’s mouth rose eerily.
“Because God doesn’t want revenge. And more importantly, I can’t take revenge! Oh my, in front of those monsters, this kingdom is no different from a castle made of paper!”
Blood was leaking from his lips. It was a black light, as if my breath had stopped.
“I prayed. I will not cry out for revenge. I will erase my anger. Instead, I prayed countless times that they would not take any more of my children. But…”
A giggle came from King Baurn’s dark-stained lips.
“Priests, paladins, and innocent citizens died countless times at the hands of the wicked. In addition, your third child died in Varenes, where you were with him. And that too while drawing blood from the white blood cult leader. How painful that child must have been. “I can’t imagine how sad it must have been.”
“….”
Raon couldn’t say anything because he saw Baiton’s death right in front of his eyes.
“Revenge. I equally wanted revenge by drawing blood from my entire body. But I couldn’t do it. Because God didn’t want revenge, and I didn’t have the ability to take revenge. “It was only then that I realized.”
King Baurn smiled as he looked at the gradually cloudy sky.
“ah! There is no such thing as God in this world. What I prayed and prayed was a fucking dog! ”
“Ah, father…”
Hoppen’s lips trembled as he heard Baurn’s twisted laughter.
“Your Highness…”
Kinnear gritted his teeth as if he still couldn’t believe it.
“So I joined hands with the darkness that was just around the corner. “Unlike that deaf man, he answered my question right away.”
Baurn put his hands together. From his grasp, where light had gathered, pitch black darkness bloomed.
“You’re deaf!”
The saintess stood in front of King Baurun and screamed.
“I. “How did we protect you, but…”
She glared at King Baurn with eyes that were more painful than malicious.
“Saint. “No, Olga.”
Baurn looked at the saint and smiled as if his divinity were crumbling.
“You are the most noble person in this kingdom. But it’s so good.”
“shut up!”
“I will kill the idiot god who is quick to call people like you. Soon… hm?”
He calmly nodded and then stopped.
“What is it?”
King Baurn frowned when he saw that the demonic energy that had been filling up the wall of divine power had stopped.
“Surely all the holy relics and holy water must have been removed?”
He touched his fingertips as if he didn’t know why his demon energy had stopped.
“I was prepared.”
Raon gestured toward the bottom of the tower. He pointed to a paladin and a windbreaker holding holy relics and holy water and suppressing the demonic energy on the wall.
“So that whoever holds the hand of the demon can stop it.”
“Ha, I heard that the dragon slayer’s real weapon is not the sword, but the tongue and the heart, but I didn’t know that was true.”
Baurn did not lose his composure even as he watched the windstorm blocking the demonic energy.
“It would just be a waste of time.”
When he put his hands together, the magic energy burning between his hands rose into the air and began to spread throughout the kingdom.
Boom!
Raon gritted his teeth and stepped on Taehwabo. Leaping into the sky where demonic energy arose, he drew out the Heavenly Sword and the Requiem Sword.
Before he could take a single breath, he unleashed an extremely powerful frost kite with his two swords.
Cheeeeee!
The blade fired from the experience gained from walking numerous firing lines crushed the demon energy.
However, because the demonic energy unleashed by King Baurn was so severe, it could not be completely stopped. Eerie demonic energy fell from the north, east, and south, excluding the west.
Quaaaaaaa!
Demons wrapped in black flames rose from the demonic energy that had crashed to the ground and screamed.
“Uh….”
“Aaaah!”
“It’s a monster!”
“Save me… keaaaaak!”
“Do, run away! Right here… Ugh!”
The people who were praying were trampled or eaten by the monsters without any time to escape. “
Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
……
“God…”
The movement and power of the monsters surpassed that of most monsters, so the citizens of Super, who had no power, died helplessly.
As their blood flowed onto the white-hot ground, the black flames burned more and more intensely.
“stop!”
“Baurn!”
Raon and the saintess rushed towards King Baurn at the same time.
As the fist containing the sharp, blood-lined blade and the thunderbolt of divine power advanced towards King Baurun’s neck, the wall of divine power and the blue steel ring blocked his path.
Hahaha!
A powerful shock wave shook the entire spire and a black fog rose.
What shines between them are four eyes. It was not King Baurn, but Priest Pirn and Commander of the Knights Guard Daniev.
It’s not just these two people. Behind them were four high-ranking priests. From the beginning, the deterioration was not the result of the king alone.
“Blood, blood, priest!”
The saintess gritted her teeth as she looked into the serene priest’s eyes.
“Even you!”
Her fingertips trembled as if her heart ached more than the king’s betrayal.
“As expected…”
Raon twisted his mouth towards Daniev, who was crossing swords with him.
“You two were together too.”
Hofen said that Priest Pirn and Commander of the Guard Daniev had served King Baurn since they were young, and the three of them almost went together during the investigation of the Gwangpungdae.
There was no way he would have been unaware of the changes in King Baurn, whom he had been friends with since childhood, so I expected that he would also have betrayed him.
“Huh?”
King Baurn raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“I really didn’t think you would read this far. But now it’s all over.”
When he put his hands together again, darkness rose from beneath his feet.
“Please leave.”
Darkness rose around King Baurn, and the floor of the spire he was currently stepping on collapsed before he could prepare for it.
“When I see you again, I will be like a god.”
King Baurn rose into the air and entered the black sphere. The Pirn priest who followed him no longer smiled, and Daniev still remained silent.
“Huh….”
“Aaaah!”
“Save me!”
There were so many people on top of the spire, many of them priests with only divine powers, that if things were left like this, close to a hundred people would die or be injured along with the people below.
“Fuck! Fuck! “Sigh!”
Even while swearing, the saint moved toward the person first. She spread her divine power thickly to create a curtain to protect those who fell.
“Baurn!”
Kinnear caught those who fell while calling out the King’s name.
“Whoa.”
Raon extended his Jecheon Sword and Requiem Sword. The wind of gale and Garunua were brought in at the same time, slowing down the falling people.
Because he improved his concentration while operating the ring of fire, he was able to save dozens of people who fell without making the slightest mistake.
However, King Baurn and his followers had already entered the black sphere and hid themselves.
Wooooow!
The sphere of magic engulfed the entire tower, creating black flames, as if to protect King Baurn.
I got goosebumps from the flow of terrible demonic energy that pulsated like my heart.
“Raon.”
Rimmer approached with black blood on his shoulder. It seemed like they had already cut down the monsters and came this way.
“It really turned out as you said.”
“Fuck. I hoped not…”
“Great Lord…”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also sighed as black blood spilled from their swords.
“My lord. “The demon spirit is stronger than expected.”
Mark Goeton frowned and brushed the blood off his sword.
“My body can’t move properly, as if Magi is holding my ankle.”
He shook his head, saying he couldn’t use his full power.
“Even if we are sprinkling holy relics and holy water, that is the only time.”
Dorian sighed, pointing to the holy relic he had taken out of his stomach pouch.
-It’s natural.
Lars nodded, looking at the faint black flames burning on the floor.
-This is the brand of a sacrifice prepared from the demon world. It is a barrier that places restrictions on the body and mind so that the sacrifice cannot escape.
‘Then I’ll tell you sooner.’
Raon frowned as he looked at Lars.
-How would the King know that I have been preparing this since the beginning of the Demon World? If I had known that the guy who made the contract with that idiot was a member of that idiot, I would have stopped him long ago!
Lars shook his head, saying he also regretted it.
‘It’s the brand of sacrifice…’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the demonic energy slowly covering the membrane of divine power. Magi did not break the membrane of divine power, but was growing in strength very slowly.
‘You were aiming for this from the beginning.’
Since they prayed all day and drew out divine power, from the outside, everyone would think that they were still holding a holy meeting.
It was clear that the king was planning to seize this moment and increase his power by sacrificing the kingdom.
‘And…’
One of the demons is also moving.
It was not the one who had made a contract with King Baurn, but the demon that I felt when I first came here was moving.
Although the demons themselves are not very strong, it seemed like it would be a difficult fight within this barrier.
“I will erase the magic.”
Paladin Kinnear drew a pure white sword. The moment he struck the ground with the sword blade that erased the darkness, clear light spread in all directions and began to quell the flames of demonic energy.
“Wow, this is stronger than I thought…”
Kinnear’s complexion is turning yellow. Even the divine power of the Paladin, said to be the strongest among the Holy Knights, seemed unable to suppress the magical energy that covered the walls and the earth.
“Pathetic bastard.”
The saint placed her hand on Kinnear’s sword. A huge light sprouts from her small grasp. It seemed like a pure white mountain was rising from the center of the kingdom.
Kuwaaaaa!
A tremendous amount of sacred power erupted, and the demonic fire burning in all directions subsided.
“Can’t you even do this?”
The saintess looked at Kinnear and furrowed her brows.
“Don’t compare me to a monster like you.”
Kinnear gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“You can endure it, right?”
“Are you afraid you can’t even do that?”
He lowered his eyebrows deeply, telling me to trust him.
“Hopen.”
“Ah, yes…”
Hoppen, who had been standing blankly, trembled at Kinnear’s call.
“I will give you the authority to move all paladins.”
Kinnear handed over the Paladin emblem he was wearing on his chest to Hoppen.
“Wipe out the monsters.”
“Um, I…”
Hoppen didn’t accept the symbol and swallowed dryly.
“It is unfair for children to take responsibility for their father’s mistakes. But…”
Raon sighed briefly as he approached Hoppen.
“Now is the time to face that injustice.”
“…All right.”
Hoppen bit his lip and accepted the Paladin emblem.
“The demon is moving.”
Raon looked at the gwangpungdae and raised his finger.
“Stop it at all costs.”
“If the great lord begs for it like that, I have to do it.”
“Don’t worry, go up…”
“Finish quickly and have ice cream.”
Buren, Marta, and Runaan nodded as if telling them not to worry.
“I will do my best too.”
Mark Gotten also nodded as if asking for trust.
“Then is my opponent up there like I first said?”
Rimmer tapped the sword on his belt and laughed.
“Please do me a favor.”
“I’m going too. Even if I fall, I will beat those damn bastards to death.”
The saint looked up, wiping the blood that had flowed from the corner of her mouth. There was a pattern growing on her thigh where her skin had melted due to excessive use of divine power. It seemed like there was no use in trying to stop him.
Raon nodded and placed his hand toward the black magic energy that enveloped the entire tower.
* * *
“Coming in from the right!”
At Burren’s shout, the balance of the frenzy shifted to the right.
Coo coo coo coo!
A monster burning with black flames rushes in, destroying the ground. Three tails with eyeballs moving like whips. It was a monster that could not be found in this world.
“1 trillion full cheers!”
Marta hits the ground with a group of prosecutors. A fierce wind blew over the blade filled with dark aura, and blue sword strikes flickered.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The monster that was approaching, crushing the buildings, split into dozens of pieces and disappeared into black fog.
Whoa!
When the sword of the tempestuous band was slightly lowered, a monster in the shape of a huge bird descended rapidly from the air and extended its ax-like claws.
Cheeeeee!
Runaan and Group 2 moved as if they had been waiting. The blue frost spread out like a net, and the wind wrapped around it, completely enveloping the new-shaped monster.
Sigh!
As the monster tried to run away while seeing its frozen wings, Mark Goeton’s thunderbolt struck the monster and the bird-shaped monster split in half and melted.
“Okay, thank you.”
“Thank you for saving me.”
Those who barely survived stood on trembling legs and bowed their heads.
“Take this.”
Dorian took a small bottle of holy water from his stomach pouch and sprinkled it on the heads of the survivors.
“Move west. “It’s dangerous here.”
Buren moved again, pointing to the west where the monster had not fallen.
‘Learning Gwangpungryu is a big help.’
Each of the monsters was powerful, so originally a lot of auras had to be consumed, but thanks to the Wind Wind Style, combat efficiency improved.
Even if I couldn’t kill them all, I felt like I could buy a lot of time.
“Where on earth is that demon!”
Marta frowned as if she didn’t like it.
“There are too many signs. What we are looking for is impossible. But…”
Buren shook his head and quenched his appetite.
“There is a certain place where he will come.”
“It’s decided?”
“okay. “You can go now.”
Buren nodded and turned around. He returned the way he came and brought up his Aurors to full strength.
“This is the way you came, right?”
Crane tilted his head.
“It’s obvious what the demon guy is after.”
“ah!”
Martha also clapped her hands as if she understood what Buren meant.
“Everyone returns to full power!”
Buren said it was urgent and ran to the steeple where Raon and the king had prayed.
When he began to see Kinnear suppressing demonic energy, the central street split in half, and black fire poured out.
The black flame transformed into the shape of a huge dog with a thorn leash, and with a single flick of its tail, it destroyed all the surrounding buildings.
Kuwaaaa!
On top of the huge dog was a young man with black hair and dark eyes, with a small horn protruding from his forehead. He pointed his finger at the dog-shaped monster, aiming only at Kinnear.
When the demonic beast spewed flames at Kinnear, the tempest rushed forward and blocked the way.
Couuuuuuu!
The black flames sank to the floor without being able to pierce the gale of wind.
“Ha, I thought I was going to die…”
Kinnear placed his hand on the sword and breathed a sigh of relief.
“How dare you interfere!”
The black-haired, black-eyed demon glared at Gwangpungdae and twisted his mouth.
“Do you think that a lesser human being can stop me?”
“You’re talking nonsense about demons.”
Martha glared at the demon and sneered.
“What we fight with every day is not a mobster like you, but a demon lord.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Runaan nodded.
Gwangpungdae also held his sword as if he was not at all afraid of the demon’s magic power.
“What are these guys doing…”
The demon’s black eyes trembled as if he was embarrassed as he looked at Gwangpungdae, who was calm even after being exposed to his own demonic energy.
