Episode 620 Awakening (2)
Before the goblins and the mercenary forces start fighting.
A slight vibration arose in the square of the duchy. The shaking
that
lasted for a while soon calmed down.
That moment.
Whoaaah-!
Mana spread widely around.
The waves of mana were so intense that the nearby goblins shivered once.
Even wild beasts avoid their place if there is a strong person they cannot handle.
Wasn’t that different from a monster?
The goblins around them hurriedly left the square.
* * *
“Mmm.”
Zeke sighed and let out a breath.
The gloomy mana hovered around him for a long time, then suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed from the beginning.
yet.
His eyelids, which seemed to never open, slowly went up.
Flash-!
As the frighteningly calm sunken eyes passed over the seat, the security guards guarding the side were startled.
Is the Zeke they knew right?
Heol-yeong and Cheong-yeong swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
A quiet force that does not show any shaking.
There was a solidity like a huge mountain in it.
Zeke looked down at my hand.
The surroundings are dark.
Or do you feel that it is too dark because it is too bright?
‘It’s noisy.’
Numerous signs that I would not normally have heard or felt caught my nerves.
From all sides, the passion for life and love for something became a blade and pierced the skin.
Perhaps the emotions that goblins are emitting now.
As your sense of humor grows, you feel other people’s thoughts becoming a ‘sword’.
It is a sensation that I did not know until I entered a new state.
The higher I climbed, the more mysterious it became.
He sneakily rolled mana into his body.
Whoa-!
The originally wide mana road became even more powerful.
Mana drifting in nature felt as if it could be caught in the hand, so it could be said that it was a level that could respond to it even a little.
‘My lord must have tasted this state before.’
Thanks to a clue that came by chance, a new stage was opened.
Until now, I thought that a sword master was the ultimate sword.
It was only after reaching the present state that he realized that he had stepped into the beginning of the road.
Let Zeke be stunned in a daze.
Cheongyoung and Heolyeong lightly clapped their hands and said.
“Zeke. Congratulations on your achievement.”
“Now you have become a monster.”
Cheongyoung could not hide his joy, and Hyolyeong looked at him reluctantly.
monster.
it’s a monster
I really like being called by a title like this.
He smiled as usual.
“It’s only natural for a swordsman like me to achieve this level.”
“….”
“…..”
Even with that seemingly arrogant statement, the two couldn’t refute it.
It was because he was feeling a lot of pressure just by facing Zeke in front of him.
‘…I can’t deny it, even as a joke.’
‘It’s getting more and more like the saint.’
Zeke has already surpassed Master.
It was a bit unreasonable to see them as humans now that the implicit momentum had reached the level of overwhelming them.
Cheongyoung and Heolyeong met each other’s eyes once and opened their mouths almost simultaneously.
“…Zeke, before you make your new realization yours, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“ask?”
As soon as I wake up, please.
Besides, looking at the serious expression, it doesn’t seem like it’s a light job.
He looked at the bloody spirit as if to ask him to speak.
“While you were on the verge of death, a war with the mercenaries had already taken place. Even before that, the receiving committee had been carrying out the original plan… but the Black Bang appeared. Apparently, the two guys who ran away never came back.”
“If it’s two guys…”
“Black and red spirits. They must have been captured on purpose to give the remaining security guards time to escape. Even if it was us, we wouldn’t have been able to escape safely against that black room.”
Cheongyoung answered.
“We were guarding you against any unforeseen danger. In the meantime, Hongyeong and Sayoung and Soyoung decided to go to the battlefield today.”
Having listened to that point, Sieg understood the contents of the request at once.
What they want is not victory in this battle.
The life and death of a colleague who lived together like family.
To safely rescue the dark and enemy spirits.
The contents of the request must be that.
just as expected.
Cheongyoung’s words continued.
“Those three will be fine. However… there is not much time left for the black and red spirits. Please save them both. please.”
He bowed his head and asked for it, but there was no way he could refuse.
Besides, didn’t the receiving committee keep by his side the whole time he came to enlightenment?
Zeke, who is not the type to live in debt, had no intention of turning down the request.
He glanced at the sword.
‘I’ve reached the stage, but it’s not completely mine yet.’
He didn’t even know how strong he was.
It seems as if the sky is dented with a light swing of a hand, and the earth splits apart with a stomp.
The feeling of being different.
Will he be able to save the two receivers with a body he can’t properly control?
Continuing his thoughts, Zeke shook his head.
You won’t know unless you try it.
If you already have weak thoughts, you won’t be able to eat porridge or rice.
He spread his palm toward his beloved sword, which was neatly placed beside the bed.
Swoop-!
Then, the sword flew into Zeke’s hand as if it were flying in the sky, and he gave the handle to himself.
Indeed, the receptionist looked at it in a daze because it was amazing.
“…”
“….”
“Are you curious? It’s amazing to see myself.”
Do you mean it’s amazing even after doing it?
Zeke, who tidied up his clothes and looked at the seat where he was sitting, politely bowed, stabbed his beloved sword into his waist.
“It’s been a while since my body was sore. Don’t even go for a light walk.”
Contrary to what he said, speculation flowed from around his body.
It’s so majestic that your whole body is going to give you goosebumps.
At that level, you wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with the black room.
Cheongyoung looked at Zeke’s back as he left and pursed his lips slightly.
“…Take care of yourself.”
“OK.”
Seeing him smiling and waving his hand somehow puts my mind at ease.
He hastened his steps to find the two receivers.
* * *
You don’t know how much I fought.
How many times have you swung your sword?
How badly did you blow your body?
I don’t remember very well now.
He was just swinging the sword tightly bound in his grasp like a machine.
Every time you grip the handle, which is covered in blood scabs, ooze oozes out.
The pain was long forgotten.
I couldn’t even think of wiping the blood from my eyes.
He swung his sword at the people in black several times.
After exchanging karate once like that, the lungs are squeezed, and I can barely breathe once or twice.
the more blood is shed.
The more I breathed, the more I could feel my body getting weaker.
What were you fighting so hard for?
Oh, it was to protect the dark spirit.
Eokyoung shook his head with difficulty.
There, along with the corpses of people in black, there was a black spirit lying limp on the dirt floor.
Even black righteous people marveled at him who seemed to be about to fall but did not manage to fall down.
“…Enemy, but with great guts. At the last moment, I will be merciful and let you go without pain.”
“Hehehe… I would have said… I have no intention of collapsing until I take half of you guys…”
Every time I say something, I purse my lips and the blood pours out.
Looking at the swords stuck in his side and back, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to last for more than a few minutes, but the man in front of him lasted for more than a few hours.
until the moon sets and the sun rises.
He sent seven of his comrades to the underworld with a single sword in his hand.
It could already be said that there are more losses than gains.
Let the black men make a checkup again.
The blood drained from the enemy’s face.
‘It’s going to end soon.’
It has been a miracle that it has endured so far.
He raised his sword with the last of his strength.
I didn’t even have time to gather my mind and think, relying on my senses and knocking off the flying sword.
Caan-!
Chae Ae Ae-!
He raised the long-depleted mana several times and barely blocked the blow.
Hana’s body has already reached its limit.
Eventually, after swinging the sword two or three times, the strength in one leg was released.
Full-!
For an instant, the enemy sat down, and the black righteous did not miss the opportunity.
“This is the end.”
Looking at the tip of the sword flying fiercely.
Jeokyoung smiled in satisfaction.
That was enough.
Because the receivers run away.
This is enough to prepare for the black room.
It bothers me that I couldn’t protect the dark spirit until the end.
Still, I had no regrets.
because you did your best.
Because I can’t do better than this.
So this was enough.
Close your eyes, waiting for the last moment.
Unsurprisingly, an eerie sound rang out.
Puppy-!
A noise like a head being crushed.
Ah, the long fight is finally over.
Thinking of that, I let out the breath I had been holding in.
Puppy-!
huh?
Something was strange.
It’s clear that the head has been crushed, but there is no pain.
Besides, the sound rang not once, but twice.
Feeling strange, Jeokyoung opened her eyes.
Then, there was Zeke standing quietly in front of him.
“…”
Let the shocked enemy become dumb for a moment.
He has been pretending to know people in black while facing them.
“Hey, you were alive and well.”
unlike what you say.
Seeing the enemy, Zeke’s expression hardened.
Looking at the scars all over her body, it was not at the level of being alive.
His shoulders are loose as if they had fallen out after a fierce battle, and swords are stuck in his back and sides.
Had he been the culprit, he would have died five or six more times.
Perhaps if he had come a little later, he would have surely not escaped death.
As I thought about it, I gradually gained strength in my hands.
Zeke said with his hand on the sword bottle.
“There is no forgiveness. Repay with death.”
The mana that flowed from his whole body gradually encroached on the surroundings.
