After the capital invasion (3)
Somewhere in the vast northern mountains teeming with monsters.
There was a person sitting on top of a bear-shaped monster the size of a house, stroking its fur and frowning.
“…what kind of situation is this?”
The revolutionist, the head of the Oath of Reversal, who had disappeared after destroying the Principality of Rohan, reflected on the information that had been passed on to him with a serious expression.
‘A bet between the hero and the Immortal King? 3 year grace? It’s nonsensical nonsense.’
In the end, he did not trust the information given to him and went through the confirmation process again.
I think that there is something wrong with the information network because I have to work and avoid myself.
But no matter how many times I checked, the result was the same…
The Immortal King did not focus on covering the continent with death, but was only enjoying a game for fun.
And that was impossible.
‘I was suspicious from the first time I didn’t follow my expectations and showed abnormal behavior, but…’
His face crumpled.
Until then, I had thought that he would plan things in a different way, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that the Immortal King had completely overcome the influence of the Abyss.
‘Nonsense. There is no one who can overcome the abyss.’
It was a compulsive force applied to all beings in this world, and it was a law that would never change as long as the person concerned was a ‘human’.
‘Couldn’t it be that the Immortal King wasn’t a human before he was alive? no no. It’s not that much of a problem. Even if they were of different races, there would be no big difference.’
There was one problem that all beings in this world did not question.
＜Why Do Humans Serve God?＞
Of course, it was neither denying the existence of the main god nor belittling its authority.
Just a literal question.
Each tribe had their own religion.
Elves believed in the ‘World Tree’ that rose in the middle of the Enamel Continent, and Dwarves enshrined the ‘God of Fire and Metal’.
Prisoners have their own indigenous religion that enshrines animal gods that symbolize each of them, but in the end, they are only fragments of the ‘beast god’.
Of course, not only those tribes follow that religion.
Although it is a minority right now, there are religions that have spread quite a bit among humans, such as the god of the sea or the god of the earth.
However, in the end, they also came from their respective tribal gods.
But why do humans have no existence that can be called such a tribal god?
It was obviously questionable, but not many people questioned it.
‘It’s just because it was like that from the beginning… Everyone thinks so.’
The main god, the creator, was close to a huge concept or law that mortals could not tailor.
Originally, it should not have interfered with the world and bestowed divine power and blessings according to faith.
What I was doing was just doing what someone else was doing before, to keep the world free of errors.
Yes, humans must have a god just for them.
Now, history and even causation have been erased by the main god, and not even a fragment of existence remains.
He must have existed in this world.
“I can’t help it. I’m sorry Valtheon, but I’ll take the madness with me. As long as death is out of destiny, we can no longer leave it to others.”
The revolutionary clicked his tongue at the thought of the hulking warrior who by now was in full swing in the South.
In a way, he was the friend who did the best job in the vow of reversal, but now was not the time to look after others.
He stood up on the seated bear monster and slowly walked towards the scar of the abyss nearby.
Then, only then did bloody eyes burn in the monster’s eyes, which had been calm all along, and ran to somewhere in the forest with a wild roar and disappeared.
“For the sake of a human god.”
In-young pushes her body into the scar, leaving only one low word.
He was the only apostle of the now non-existent ‘human god’.
He was a revolutionary who devoted himself to the restoration of the god banished to the abyss, the dustbin of the Auterica dimension.
***
The gist of what Patrick, the general secretary of the mercenary guild, said to Harley was simple.
‘So he’ll take care of the rest, so I’m just saying that I should care more about my reputation. To the extent that it spread evenly across the entire continent.’
I talked to him about this and that, but in the end, in a word, that was what he meant.
Right now, Harley’s name is not very well known compared to her skills, so she needs to raise her reputation a little more.
Of course, during his life as a mercenary, he also handled a number of missions that would be called limited express, and recently he was making a name for himself by playing a big role in the monster madness situation…
It was a reputation limited to the western part of the continent, and also to the northern part of the Tulk Kingdom.
‘Well, to be honest, Harley’s mercenary career hasn’t even been a year yet.’
Time was also an important factor in the spread of fame.
All of the other mercenary king candidates, who could be called his competitors, have risen to the current position by steadily building up their name value for a long time.
Their armed forces were also those who reached the master level enough to be called the idols of mercenaries, so if you look at them objectively, the difference in experience was bound to feel quite large.
‘I’m confident that if I just fight directly, I’ll destroy everything!’
However, with such an ignorant method, it will not be easy to lose public sentiment as much as the recognition it will gain.
No matter how much force is valued, a more sophisticated method was needed to become the head of a guild that was not a small organization and could be called a continental organization.
In fact, there is a long tradition of breaking the seal, so it was true that I was attracted to that method…
Fortunately for them, Harley had a better alternative.
Kwaaang-!
An intense explosion and a rising column of black fire.
“Aww!”
“Hey, these guys! How dare you say where is this place!”
The lord’s family, which is notorious for its bloody, tearless cruelty and harsh exploitation, and Count Beoin’s family in the Sharoti Kingdom, were engulfed in flames due to a sudden attack by an unknown group.
Thousands of undead troops were pouring in from all sides surrounding the lord’s castle.
“Chehehehe! Everything according to His will! I will purify this world by dying!”
Dark magic that burned their vitality rose from the bodies of those leading the attack like wildfire.
As if they had no intention of living from the beginning, their malice, not thinking about the future, covered the territory.
In fact, this kind of raid was not only happening here.
The forces of darkness, which had been dormant for a while for some reason, began raising their heads one by one at some point.
Having been parasitized in the shadows of the world for a long time and growing their strength, their potential was absolutely formidable.
Even more so, isn’t it a crazy situation now because of monsters?
In such a situation, those who use even their own lives as tools and cunningly seek out gaps play a part in adding to the damage.
Wow!
However, even in this situation, there were those who actively fought against the terrorist act—.
“Whoa, this time we arrived at once. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s too late.”
“You seem to be getting better and better. It would not be easy for even a great mage to travel such a long distance with a large number of people.”
“It’s not good news to say that I used it that often. It means that the situation is not good enough.”
They were the four figures who appeared with a bright halo of light.
“Ha ha ha! How long will you be talking about it? Then let me go first!”
“I, too, will go.”
A muscular giant with a huge axe and a gloomy middle-aged man with a spear pierced the enemy camp like lightning.
“Kuh! Kill them first!”
“Eh, magic doesn’t work?! What a monster!”
“Kuh ha ha! Where are you running away, come here!”
Harley rushed in first, ignoring all of the opponent’s attacks with her powerful exorcism using dragon’s scales, and swung a huge ax…
Let’s eat— Shiaaak!
“Puhihi! Stop dying… kek!”
“Ouch! Save me… Ah? Sa, are you alive?”
The spear of the gray-haired man with a spear quickly moved through the space and saved those in danger.
“First of all, we need to reduce the number of undead. To be able to lead a surprise attack with such a large number, it must have been the Immortal King’s own hand.”
Whoa-! Kwaaang!
And the enormous mana that surged from Isea’s body instantly realized the mystery and began to sweep hundreds of undead at once.
“Kuh! Are you really saying yes? You are coming so soon!”
Seeing over a hundred followers and thousands of undead armies melt like snow in real time, their leader, the warlock, gritted his teeth.
I expected them to come from the beginning, and even though I had already given up on the idea of living… I was nervous because the majesty was higher than I had imagined.
‘As expected, this must be my grave.’
But no matter how much it is, I can’t die in vain like this.
Even if you die when you die, shouldn’t you leave a trace of your existence in this world!
goooh—
He immediately burned his vitality and at the same time forced his heart’s mana to run wild, and began to prepare great magic that he would not have been able to use originally.
In order to stain everything in this area with death in exchange for his own soul.
“Kuhihik— dirty vested interests. Remember carefully! Our resistance does not end here. Death is of equal value to all, regardless of nobles and lows! Create a world without discrimination…”
“I know your thoughts well.”
However, while preparing magic and cursing the world, his words had to be interrupted unintentionally…
Fu-wook—
“Cheuk-!”
“There are too many useless words.”
“Ah, no… there was a barrier…”
Heinrich, who had come to his side before he knew it, was driving the holy sword deeply into his heart.
Of course, as he said, there were quite a few types of defenses, but with only that level of skill, the natural enemy of black magic, [Blessing: Lightsaber], could not be stopped.
Afterwards, the light injected through the holy sword embedded in the heart completely burned the evil magic that swirled through the black magician’s body, and in the end, he quietly turned to ashes and scattered without much resistance.
And after a short time has passed.
“Wow!”
“Sah, I’m alive!”
They were only four, but it didn’t take long to clear all the thousands of enemies.
Unfortunately, most of the lord’s family had already died in an ambush that followed the raid when everything was over.
“May God’s love be with them.”
After a brief moment of silence, Heinrich treated the injured people diligently, pretending not to see the people stealing away from the castle.
“Oh my god, you saved me, but you even treated me like this. Thank you very much!”
“thank you! thank you!”
“no. Helping those in need is the duty of those who follow the Lord.”
“That is the right attitude! As expected of Saint Heinrich of the Main Church!”
“Ah, what a shame. Mr. Harley also suffered a lot.”
After mobilizing even Harley, who puts in the choo-im-sae, to finish the work of imprinting names on the people here, they gathered again at Isae-ah to move to another place.
It’s because high-quality manpower like them couldn’t invest a long time in one place forever.
‘By the way, it’s quite usable. I was selected because of my ability and personality. . . . That’s the same.
Heinrich nodded while glancing at the gray-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged man holding a spear.
Geos was a strong man who voluntarily came to participate after hearing about the party, and there were several reasons for choosing him.
First of all, its ability.
The fact that a pure aura user who had not yet reached transcendence could attack beyond space meant that the mysticism he had learned was very special.
…to the point of being greedy.
It is extremely important to stand at the end of the road by establishing your own system and perfecting your energy.
In another dimension, they are so-called sword masters or hwagyeong (化境), and even if they are not operated separately, their naturally activated energy assists all abilities, and the efficiency when used directly increases exponentially.
In the first place, the density of the energy they had was different, so there was no way to impersonate them.
And at the end of further growth there, it was transcendence that finally broke the frame and went beyond the limit as an existence.
It splits space with a sword, causes phenomena only with will, and even reads cause and effect naturally.
Because each person transcends in a different way, it was impossible to accurately define it in one word.
For example, Conwell, the leader of the Imperial Guard Knights, had the ability to ‘cut’ everything, even cutting the energy of the abyss like a radish.
‘In that sense, that’s a very mouth-watering technique. I’m going to try to persuade him well and then at least sneak up on the words.’
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Maybe that won’t be too difficult.
The second reason for accepting Geos is his personal history.
‘It is said that the family was caught up in the sacrificial avalanche that occurred across the continent, known as the Undying King’s act to open the abyss.’
He was an aristocrat of the Lesque Kingdom, but like Isea, he was the one who won the position only with his skills.
As a commoner and an orphan, he had a great attachment to his wife and children, but they were betrayed.
In other words, his motivation for participating in the warrior party was not a sense of mission, but only revenge against the Immortal King.
And Heinrich… couldn’t possibly refuse him who begged for a chance to take revenge with eyes that had lost the will to live.
‘… He’s similar to me.’
Of course, revenge will definitely help.
Even among those he just killed, there were quite a few members of the Covenant of Reversal, and it won’t stop until all the masterminds of the tragedy are defeated.
“Then, let’s move. Do not resist magic.”
Whoa-!
The endless flow of Isea’s magical power surrounds them.
Before long, they disappeared from the county of Beoin in Sharoti Kingdom.
Small-scale raids were prepared by paying attention with ‘foresight’, and even though the warriors were directly involved in such a large-scale invasion, they were busy without blinking their eyes.
But in proportion to that, the reputation of the hero Heinrich and his companions was spreading little by little throughout the continent.
