Episode 415 Completion of the Altar
Received momentum, Lay put more effort into completing the main version.
With an immature body, he adjusted the level of mana and carved formulas once.
twenty one.
twenty two.
As the number of overlapping magic circles increased, the white gate grew larger.
When it was enough to completely overturn the temple, the black gate hanging in front of the altar faded and disappeared.
There were no more monsters flowing out of there.
Sert let out a sigh of relief.
“It looks like the work on the main version is coming to an end… I can finally get some relief…” After
so much magic was fired at the monsters, the heart with the circle tingled.
Heprion wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“It was a tough battle! But that too is now over! In the end, all we did was exterminate the monsters, but fortunately, there was something worthwhile after finishing the job!”
“Don’t be careless. We don’t know what will happen yet.”
“Okay… by the way…”
Sert whispered quietly.
“That person… must be a human… right?”
“It is human. Although his powers are beyond human, he is unmistakably human.”
“If it’s a great being who changed his form so we can’t know…”
“Did the eyes of truth react when Ray said he was human?”
“Umm… not really…”
Heprion interrupted the conversation.
“Now, what if you are a human and what if you are a great being! We’ve been through the battlefield together, aren’t we? Comrades… Comrades, we are! Ah, comradeship seems to spring up!”
Heprion looked at the temple like a girl in love with her hands together.
“I’ll have to invite you to my village sometime after this is over!”
The relatively small Aira looked up at Heprion.
“Don’t play nonsense, Heprion. I am first.”

Twenty-three.
twenty four.
Eventually twenty-five.
As the number of magic circles increased, it was difficult to touch them carelessly.
The main board is more special than the left board or the right board.
First of all, the amount of mana required to drive the magic circle is far greater than the other two woodblocks.
He said it doesn’t matter because he had so much mana, but if another race tried to build an altar, he would die from mana depletion, sucking mana from his whole body.
In addition, the fact that a lot of mana goes into the magic circle means that the repulsive force is strong as well.
If he made a mistake and the mana of the magic circle reversed or exploded, he had to fully bear the repulsive force.
Of course, the weight of success was significant, but the risk of failure was no less.
In other words, high-risk high-return.
Since he was making 3 overlapping magic circles of twenty-five, Ray was about to die.
His complexion had already died dingy, and his skin had lost its luster and had become crumbly.
I couldn’t even drink water, let alone food, and my skin was very dry.
Now, from a distance, it looks like a lich wearing a white robe.
It was clear that Gaia had made herself a sacrifice for high school students, not something grandiose like a saint.
Ray, who had reached the end of his work before he knew it, recalled the hardships of the past.
When the high elves were all asleep and surrounded by monsters, he built the second temple alone, pounding with a hammer.
Is that all?
From the left board to the right board, there was nothing that his hands had not passed through.
All these trials were derived from Gaia.
Even if you look at the past, there was a history where an oracle was given to the Holy Kingdom to induce war.
Tears were about to come out at the unfortunate fate of such a goddess getting rid of the cheap shit.
what? The goddess of abundance and peace?
this nimmy
From today, I will call her the goddess of trolls and diarrhea.

With the help of the half-man top, the Babon Kingdom showed tremendous growth.
Although the nobles and the upper ranks, which are the main axis, had already left the kingdom, the majesty of the upper half of the upper class was huge enough to exceed it and remain.
They solved food shortages with endless funds and provided military funds.
When the soldiers and people were surrounded by high-quality armor, they seemed to be on par with the imperial army.
In addition, mercenaries and adventurers flocked to Baybon Kingdom in droves.
With a considerable amount of remuneration and the good deeds of the upper half of the upper class, they were placed here, and all of them had the skills of a knight.
There were over 1,200 mercenaries and 3,000 adventurers.
Is that all?
Seongguk, who had disrespected the half-man corps last time, organized reinforcements.
Although there were only 500 reinforcements, the Paladins and Priests were indispensable on the battlefield.
Their help will work to your advantage.
Harpman looked out at the wall with a satisfied face.
“That’s enough to drive away monsters.”
It’s a military power that can be used to cause war.
With that level of numbers, he could easily deal with a small kingdom.
“The monsters are coming!”
Almost simultaneously with the messenger’s call, a whistle echoed across the walls.
Boo Woo Woo-!
At the sound of the whistle, the soldiers lined up.
The knight commander in the lead raised his sword.
“Dare to strike and kill all the monsters that have come to the capital!”
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
When the knights took the lead, the soldiers followed closely behind.
It was the most basic rank in the war.
By closing the gap, you can attack less and attack more.
However, the monsters rushed as if they didn’t care about their own lives.
Even the knights were taken aback when a large monster over five meters in size attacked.
The soldiers who quickly raised sword auras and fought back, but were unable to protect themselves, were helpless.
“Aaaagh!”
“Buy and save me!”
The battle line collapsed in an instant.
“Don’t be afraid and follow me! If you don’t want to die, don’t fall!”
The knight commander shouted, but the rear was already engaged in a battle with large monsters.
There were a few soldiers who followed the voice, but even those were defeated by medium-sized monsters.
That moment.
“Fire field.”
The field magic that only a great mage of the 6th circle can perform unfolded before their eyes.
A small old man landed on the battlefield waving his cloak with the blue pattern of the royal family.
All the monsters around him burned up.
– Aaaaaa!
– Snuggle Geek! Hey hey!
Every time the hand holding the staff pointed toward the sky, a fireball the size of an adult’s head exploded at the monsters.
Kwaaaang—!
Quaang-!
With his back to the explosion, King Baybon spoke quietly with mana.
“This is the capital of Baybon. Don’t you dare make a fuss.”
* * *
When he carves the last sentence.
A bright light burst from the main board.
“Finally… it’s complete.”
If you shed mana, the magic circle will start operating.
He inserted the main board of the left board and the right board into the hollow of the altar.
The three woodblocks began to respond.
Woong-woong-!
The three high elves who were guarding the outside also showed interest and entered the temple.
Sert approached the altar first.
Her eyes, exhausted from the continued battle, suddenly brightened.
“Is this the new altar…?”
“…that’s right. It took a while to add more secondary magic, but it was completed within a week as scheduled.”
“Awesome… I’ve never seen a formula so precise…”
She surveyed the altar with a surprised face.
The altar, made of raw wood, was neat and free of thorns.
It was hard to believe that it was made only by beating it with a hammer.
What about the formulas engraved on the woodblock?
The formulas tied so closely that it was difficult for him to even recognize them were getting along with each other as if they were dancing.
Ray spilled his mana on the altar.
Then, the magic circle started operating for the first time, creating a huge wave.
Guuuuuu-!
It sounded like a mighty bell, resonating through the hall.
The sound echoed through the temple and soon through the forest.
Mountain birds fled in surprise, and birds held their breath.
Nature seemed to pay homage to the birth of a new pillar that supports the world.
The pure white light emitted from the altar followed.
The black plague created by the first altar was driven away by the light of the second altar.
The darkness was shattered by the light without the slightest resistance.
When the gate disappeared, all the high elves who knew the situation was over gathered in the temple.
Hans strode first and grabbed Ray’s hand tightly.
“Good work.”
It was a short word.
There was no special formula, but there was a lot of sincerity.
Ray shook Hans’ hand once with a trembling hand.
Then he looked around the hall once more.
All the gazes of the high elves, tired but not dead, focused on him.
It’s finally over.
this long fight.
Protection for the beings of the middle world.
Because of the blood and sweat they shed, it was finally over.
With a body that seemed about to collapse at any moment, Ray rose from the altar.
He had no grandeur whatsoever.
There was only one human who shabbyly swayed his legs and hunched his back.
However, no one looked down on him.
someone with respect
Someone else with love.
with regret
With thanks.
met his eyes.
The dirty and shabby hero stood firmly in his place.
Her eyes, now blurred, surveyed the crowd.
I don’t know what to say first.
There were so many things to say.
However, when he saw the elves looking at him with the blood of monsters on him, only one word escaped his dry lips.
“great job.”
At his words, the faces of the elves changed in various ways.
There were those who had bright smiles on their faces and those who burst into tears.
That’s it.
It’s over.
Everyone’s efforts were rewarded with just the words ‘Good job’ as a starting point.
recognized by each other.
With just that fact alone, the elves were able to realize the ‘end’.
The elves who laughed and the elves who shed tears became one in a true sense.
Aira laughed, Heprion laughed, and Sert laughed.
Hans shed hot tears and Serien turned and sobbed.
Elisa immediately lay down, and the other high elves leaned on each other’s shoulders and savored the moment.
Guuuuuu-!
Only the ringing of the bells at the altar celebrated their modest banquet.
