Episode 359 Crisis Comes to the Holy Land (1)
The old man with the army on his back spoke vigorously.
“I have heard about the success of the past. From what I’ve heard, the relationship with the Hafman Merchant seems to be quite special. You cut down four people yourself because you did what you shouldn’t have done.”
“Guide me.”
The old man’s expression frowned slightly at the answer that didn’t fit.
“Don’t look at me as an equal with a mere necromancer. I don’t even notice that kind of trivial thing.”
Ray glanced over at the corpse soldiers.
It’s definitely a force to be proud of.
Although undead soldiers are scary, they are better than biological weapons that explode upon contact.
But even a bomb is meaningless unless it explodes.
He quietly drew the dagger from his waistband.
The old man laughed at him when the short but brilliant blade revealed itself.
“You foolish.”
After the words, countless corpses rushed towards Ray.
Individuals are weak, but soldiers who are not afraid of death are overwhelmed by their mere presence.
In addition, it exploded when damaged, so magic was the only way to counter it.
The dagger in Ray’s hand stretched as it was covered with an aura.
The long sword that contains the blue light of mana draws the horizon.
It is only after the sword has passed that the sound follows, so it can be said that the study has reached its peak.
When a line so thin that it was invisible to the naked eye was drawn, the bodies of the corpses that attacked him were split in half.
The elderly were no exception.
The old man, taken aback by the sudden blow, hurriedly pulled up his demonic energy.
Kaaaaang—!
A deafening noise exploded around.
The demonic energy gathered at one point shattered so easily that it was futile, leaving a thin cut on the old man’s chest.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
I was more surprised by the terrifyingly destructive energy of mana than the pain I felt in decades.
Looking around, there was no longer a large army of corpses.
Trees were cut down and forests were cut down.
I could no longer feel the remnants of life in the forest, which had been alive just before.
He changed the terrain with just one sword.
‘…It’s definitely mana. But just now, that energy… was definitely close to demonic.’
The old man covered the wound in his chest with magic and let out a saliva.
He may not know it, but the word spirit is the expression of will.
Its foundation is obviously mana, but its natural aura changes color depending on what it decides.
This was also the reason Ira was worried.
– If a person who does not know how to control his mind uses his commandments, it will lead to disaster.
Ray’s condition was exactly the same.
Because the harmony of the mind was out of order, there was a twist in mana.
Cracked language is like a bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.
Out of control, his mana slowly turned to ink.
A dark energy like an abyss without any red color.
The bar that can be felt is mana, but the destructive tendency is more than overwhelming the mania.
As the 10,000 corpses he had managed to obtain while slowly eating away at the kingdom disappeared into the void, the old man let out a dejected laugh.
“It is truly admirable. Now I understand why Lee Jwa was overly vigilant. But…”
He lifted a crystal ball the size of a fist from his chest and held it up high into the sky.
Then, the same dense demonic energy leaked out from within.
When the gathered demonic energy was spilled on the ground, the corpses that had stopped their activities came back to life and began to move.
The old man let out a bitter laugh.
“There is a limit to mana. No, now the vessel to contain it is about to break. Aren’t you curious as to whether it’s first for my demonic energy to run out or for your body to crumble? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Ray also understood what he meant.
It was a heart that had never wavered even while training with Aira.
However, the heart, the vessel that holds the spirit of speech, was shaking as if it would break, just as the old man said.
I could sense that there was not much time.
He twisted the corner of his mouth.
“It seems like I’ve been listening to it a lot. I will repay the enemy of Iriel properly.”
With one stomp, the mound of dirt rose into the air.
The rocks that existed around me are united and gradually increase my size.
The old man’s eyes widened as he watched them.
All the minerals of the earth, including trees, were pulled up by his hand, and a huge shadow soon covered the entire ground.
In the sky, a meteorite boasting a huge size was showing off its appearance.
In front of a meteorite of this size, there was no way that troops could be used.
‘If I do something wrong, I could die.’
Survival instincts were constantly ringing alarm bells in my head.
With Ray’s gesture, the meteorite floating in the air slowly descended to the ground.
He had the illusion that the forest itself was falling toward him.
‘…If you want to block it, you should be able to block it, but…’
The old man glanced at the crystal ball in his hand.
It took ten full years to gather the magic that resided inside.
It was a waste of that long time, but now it was not a position to cover the means.
What’s the use of a crystal ball when it looks like it’s about to disappear in the aftermath of a meteorite!
After struggling for a while, the old man finally grabbed the crystal ball.
Then, fierce demons spurted out from within.
Guuuuuu-!
A short orb made of demonic energy covered the old man with a noise that sounded like a huge cavity resounding.
Not long after that, the giant Meteor created by Ray hit the ground.
Quaaaaaang—!
The forest is revealed and the earth turns upside down.
As if the apocalypse had come, all the surrounding land was exposed to the inside.
The deafening roar created a shock wave, and even the few remaining trees were uprooted and blown away.
There was no longer a lively forest there.
The surrounding monster villages as well as about half of the mountain range disappeared.
The old man who barely survived shuddered at the scale of the speechless magic.
The magic that had been accumulated for ten years was now exhausted.
Even though he used the high-level defense magic of the 6th circle, he couldn’t handle the aftermath and his ribs went out.
Lee Jwa’s words seemed to ring in my ears.
– He’s a monster.
monster.
Literally, the word monster was appropriate.
Even though the bowl was shaking, the control of mana was beyond the standard.
Even though everything in existence was swept away, nothing was destroyed behind him where he stood.
Oh-jwa grinned as Ray slowly walked towards him.
“Hehehe… are you protecting the saintess’ grave?”
“Give me directions.”
“You fool. It’s not a place you dare go to.”
It seems that he has no intention of divulging information.
At that, Ray swung his dagger.
The hand holding the crystal ball is cut off and blown away.
Ojwa frowned at the excruciating pain felt in his wrist.
There was only one.
As if the pain was nothing, he soon regained his composure and stepped back.
Although he was surprised by the speed of his sword that he could not respond to, he was also the person who took the fifth place in the force.
He raised his severed hand and attached it to his wrist.
Then Magi responded and put her hands together, which should have fallen.
said the old man as if he were having fun.
“A magic swordsman. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. I showed you something good, so I should return it. By now, the Holy Kingdom would be a mess. I don’t know if you’ll have time to catch me.”
“You seem a little sleepy. Can I help you?”
“Whether it’s bullshit or not, judge for yourself.”
The old man pointed over the mountains with his chin.
Then, faint black smoke rose from a distance.
Looking at the thick smoke, it was clear that something had happened.
The old man who was watching him quietly declared.
“There are many talented people in Seongguk. But they just can’t afford it. I bet my all on it.”
Conflict arose in my heart.
Dealing with the old man is time consuming, and since we are leaving for the Holy Land, we do not know what else he will come up with.
In the Holy Kingdom, Zeke and Richie are holding on to each other.
Besides, there were Eucliwood and receptionists, so I wasn’t too worried.
But the opponent is the dark forces.
If they were forced into numbers like they are now, no matter how strong they were, it would be difficult to deal with them all.
Even in the case of Iriel, wasn’t he pushed back in a number fight?
After thinking for a moment, Ray raised his mana.
“If it is impossible to capture alive, we have no choice but to kill it.”
The old man, who had at least a little hope for his survival, gritted his teeth.
“In the end, you choose ruin.”
He also raised a lot of demons.
When the two explosive energies collided, a shock wave exploded.
Faaaaang—!
Paaang—!
It was a simple battle of mana, but the old man had an idea.
‘After using such a big magic, mana is bound to run out.’
It wasn’t just small-to-medium-scale magic, it was magic that created a meteor.
Still, if mana remained, it was right to think that it had a built-in dragon heart rather than a mana rod.
As expected, Ray’s mana began to drain little by little.
The old man called for joy.
“Ha ha ha! You stupid bastard! I’ll make sure you meet the saintess right away!”
He exploded his madness and focused more on his demonic energy.
But at that moment, a stone spear flew at the old man.
Paba Park—!
With an eerie sound, five or six stone spears were pierced into the old man’s back.
The old man coughed up blood.
“Ke-heo-eok!”
Looking down at the window through his stomach, the old man’s brow twitched.
“What…”
He looked around slowly.
Then hundreds of stone spears were aimed at him behind his back.
‘Very… when the hell…!’
Could it be that he even activated magic while fighting mana with himself?
To make such a stone spear?
From the beginning, the amount of mana was meaningless.
Hundreds of sharp spears moved slowly towards him.
Then, it penetrates the body of the old man at minute speed.
The sensations became more vivid as the skin slowly ripped away.
“Quaaaaagh!”
