Immortal King vs. Hero Party (3)
Heinrich… No, Han Seong-hyun’s main feelings toward Geos were sympathy and sympathy.
He himself was in a similar situation.
Besides, he hadn’t shown it before, and he had a little bit of admiration.
Unlike himself, who needed two years of time to recover and the help of the ability called “Avatar,” he quickly left his seat and got up with just one thought.
Of course, his position was different, such as his powerlessness and the presence or absence of a clear target for revenge, but it seemed to be only a minor problem in front of his solemn will that seemed to set his own soul on fire.
Quadd deuk—
But that’s just a personal impression.
Heinrich, who learned the limits of the refracting window in the process of learning 「Space Slash」, did not expect anything more than assistance from Geos from the beginning.
[Kuh, what is this again?!]
That’s why—the distorted space in the immortal king’s chest was something he hadn’t expected.
Wouldn’t that embarrassment be only the person who received the attack directly?
‘Opportunity!’
However, Heinrich, who was already deeply immersed in the battle, put aside his wandering thoughts for the moment and swung his holy sword at the momentary gap he could see right in front of his eyes.
He sharpened his blade with an amplified lightsaber, and used 「Space Slash」 filled with the martial arts he had polished up to the point.
[It’s great… It’s impossible!]

Koo Goo Goo—
However, at that moment, the immense abyss that rose from the Immortal King’s body like a fit of madness managed to shake the tip of the sword even as it melted into the light surrounding the holy sword.
Chew! Roar-!
[Kuh! Nenoom—!]
Thanks to that, he was cut from one shoulder to the other hips, and while being engulfed in the sacred fire that arose there, he somehow managed to avoid being hit directly in the heart.
“Cool—!”
And a bit far from him.
Geos, who was coughing up blood in the posture of throwing a spear, looked at Heinrich, who was thrown back by the spirit of the Immortal King, and muttered regretfully.
“…Was it shallow?”
Of course, this was the first time he had used this power.
Since it was only established in theory, errors were bound to occur in the process of actual use.
‘Still, something catches my eye. If only I had one more chance…’
Fortunately, the energy to do so was still there.
If I use this, I think I’ll be able to stab a more reliable attack this time…
[Dare! This worm—!]
Unfortunately, that opportunity no longer seemed to exist.
[Die!]
The Immortal King, who had been relaxed throughout the fight, stretched out his hand towards him, expressing his anger.
Not only did he allow a series of attacks, but even the holy fire gnawed at his body, but he prioritized defeating Geos rather than responding to it.
“For a moment···!”
“Geos-sama!”
Fuhuaak—!
Before his colleagues could even use their hands.
The thorns of the abyss protruding from the floor pierced his defenseless whole body.
***
‘It was dangerous. I never thought he would do such tricks!’
Fortunately, the opponent’s attack was very shallow, and it was a shame because he immediately strengthened the subspace surrounding the heart as soon as he sensed a crisis with his overwhelming time advantage through transcendental perception.
If the attack had been a little more threatening, he would have been unable to properly block Heinrich’s successive attacks and would have been able to retire as it was.
‘Because of that bug! This body!’
Of course, he was also familiar with Geos.
Thanks to the usefulness of his secret skills, he is showing more than a realm of activity, but strictly speaking, he was only at the level of upper-middle class in the extreme sense.
Not to mention Heinrich, Harley, and the saintess, he was clearly inferior to the other two.
In other words, from the Immortal King’s point of view, it was like allowing an extra that he hadn’t cared about before to take a blow.
‘You are urging orders! …I was going to kill them all at this point anyway.’
Just like that.
In fact, from the beginning, he had planned to organize everything except for Heinrich and Harley right here.
How much karma will come in if you kill the saint of the main church, the high elf of the Elven Kingdom, and the archmage, the friend of the next emperor?
After that, the fear of the Immortal King, which has risen with the storm, will soon return to an overwhelming point!
‘Cooperation? Cooperate? Not required! As long as this body earns more karma than the rest of them combined!’
Ever since he set up a barrier in his mind and cut off the connection, his thoughts, which were already unstable, were going to extremes every minute.
The basic goal of collecting points for power remained unchanged, but everything else was twisted to think only of himself.
[Keukeu— Yeah, it’s no fun if it’s too easy.]
The Immortal King blocked the rain of spirit arrows and Iseah’s magic, quelling the holy fire that engulfed his body into the abyss.
He thought he was good enough on his own, but now that he’s gotten this far, he doesn’t want to be stubborn anymore.
‘I don’t need much anyway.’
Except for a few executives who will protect immortality, the rest are busy preparing for war and starting to move south.
But he had a lovely pet he could call on at any time.
[Come out, Heratos.]
As soon as the words are finished.
[Kyaaah——!]
A huge and vicious Bone Dragon tore through space and appeared.
***
Thanks to Riesta’s belated intervention, Geos was able to be evacuated without an instant death.
Of course, since his whole body was pierced and even contaminated to the abyss, it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime.
Even now, it was a situation where I couldn’t concentrate on treatment with all my might.
[Kyaaa——!]
The essence of destruction that spewed out from the mouth of Heratos, the Bone Dragon that flew up in the air, plunged downward.
“Intensive Barrier!”
“My Lord!”
Kwaaang—!
From the moment the Immortal King showed an opening, Iseah’s magic, which succeeded in controlling his magical power, and Riesta, who continued to maintain a barrier while holding on to Geos’ life, defended the breath.
“Horia, Equistine, Meiru, Dimanta!”
Lydia’s arrow, which was a mixture of the four elements of fire, wind, water, and earth, shot Heratos in the air.
The addition of the Bone Dragon, which led to a situation where it was difficult to endure.
Of course, even in the midst of this, the Immortal King’s offensive towards the rear continued uninterrupted.
[Keukeu—what are you doing, Hero Heinrich? If you want to save your comrades, defeating me would be the best thing?]
“You bastard…!”
And Heinrich was able to realize.
Hans… That the Immortal King, Hannibal Strauss, seriously intends to kill all of his colleagues here.
“Why···!”
Unknowingly, he opened his mouth like that and gritted his teeth without being able to continue talking behind his back.
I thought I was in a bad state from the start, but there was no way I could say anything to the opponent who had become a real Immortal King.
‘Harley…’
Harley had a great fight with many demons outside the barrier of the building.
He had already annihilated most of the demons of inferior rank and had a consistent advantage after killing one of the Daejeon ranks, but it did not seem easy to shake off the remaining ones and come to help.
So, how can I use it now?
‘No method.’
Blood trickled down from his tightly bitten lips.
Despair spread like a poison in his body at the helplessness of not being able to solve it himself and having to resort to other means.
‘…What is a saint, and what is a hero. There’s nothing I can do unless it’s a tight play!’
The image of Geos, whose whole body had been pierced by the thorns of the abyss, came to mind.
The reason he accepted him into the warriors party was because of his greed for Biggie, but the main reason was because of his precarious appearance that seemed like it would break at any moment.
I hoped that he, who had a similar pain as himself, would live with anger as the driving force.
In the process, his ‘real enemies’, the warlocks belonging to the Oath of Reverse Heaven, among them, those who were involved in opening the continental sacrificial ceremony, even tried their hands to kill all of them.
Perhaps the remaining officials are the Baltheon faction who directly opened a rift here in the south, and the revolutionaries behind them.
‘…Now, I tried to keep my mind as calm as possible until I face the Immortal King, my final goal.’
Heinrich tightly closed his eyes at the crushing horror.
[Have you given up? Warrior.hehehe—that would be fun too. Let’s enjoy watching our comrades die together. My adversary, Heinrich. I will have mercy on you.]
Not only Geos, who was wandering between life and death, but also the lives of others were in danger.
Before he even became a paladin, instead of Roselia, the saintess Riesta, who took her first step, faced.
She is an Awakener of the same Korean descent, an early member of the Hero Party, and Lee Se-ah, who is also Hesperon’s teacher.
Lydia, who is familiar with Harris, willingly volunteered for this dangerous task even though she had only been together for a short time.
However, the current self is too helpless.
‘My Lord…’
Kwak-
He gripped the handle of his sword with both hands in such a heightened passion.
He slowly opened his eyes at the sudden question and looked down at the holy sword in his hand.
In terms of the realm, it is the divine weapon that raised him, who had not even reached transcendence, to the pinnacle of mankind.
Okay.
He has not yet reached transcendence.
Why?
I admit that I am lacking as an unmanned person.
But isn’t he a soldier as well as a priest?
That is, the pinnacle of priests who have received great blessings and are even called “Saints.”
But how is it that he still couldn’t get over the wall?
‘The first condition for priests and the basis of divine power.’
Belief in God.
‘Is my faith worthy of transcendence?’
Divine power bestowed by the mercy of the Goddess on the fake beliefs infused through the “Mind Hub” and “Persona”.
Can Heinrich truly be called a saint?
‘…Even the title of saint was only obtained because I received a great blessing from God.’
In other words, it was just a promise between humans.
Of course, in general, when you reach the level of receiving the Great Blessing, you will also have the faith to match it… But isn’t his case a little special?
‘… Lord God.’
Heinrich gripped his holy sword tightly again.
And he repeated the reckless challenge, which he had failed several times before.
[… Hoo? Are you going to fight again? That’s good too. hahahaha! Where do you struggle, hero!]
Ignoring the Immortal King’s ridicule and ridicule, leaping into space and wielding an attack.
However, as expected, the distance that had been narrowed by being destroyed lightly became distant again in an instant.
‘Although it’s embarrassing to think like this now.’
He didn’t give up and rushed, but the pouring black magic and the power of the abyss gradually accumulated damage and gradually became bloody.
‘Isn’t it so easy to have faith?’
His body was elevated by the divine power transmitted from Riesta.
While maintaining the shield and even treating it, he looked at the situation here and even added a buff.
Only her aggressive side was lacking, but she laughed bitterly at what could be called a ‘saint’.
‘But I believe.’
No matter how much Heinrich was a person with accumulated faith and belief, if he lacked the right faith, he would inevitably lose quality in his innocence.
However, under the connivance of the main god, he was able to receive sufficient divine power.
How could that be possible?
‘That I can be of help to this world, to this Auterica that the Lord holds dear.’
The answer was simple.
Just because the Lord gave permission.
Then why did the main god grant him such a privilege?
‘I believe. That I can do what the Lord wants me to do.’
It was also a simple matter.
It must be because he wants something from a special being from another world, who can contact the main god even by trickery.
And it must have been something related to the abyss.
‘I believe in myself… In my potential. And I believe in you who believe in me.’
It was not a pure worship of God, but a slightly twisted belief…
It was the best he could do now.
‘Didn’t the Lord trust me and allow me this kind of power?’
Her side was torn open by the blown abyss.
The pure white armor she received after becoming a saint, the ‘Guardian of Glory’, which is no different from a moving citadel, is already tattered and even has holes in various places.
‘Therefore!’
Repetition of a process that has already been repeated many times.
Despite taking all kinds of damage and approaching, the situation does not improve, only worsens.
The abyss accumulated excessively in the body has now reached the point where even the operation of the divine power is hindered.
‘I’m going to believe it, don’t look at it and believe it passionately! I have a lot of affection, so please send me an advance payment!’
I will do my best to believe in you in the future, so please trust me first.
With that kind of compulsion, he ignored the limit of his stamina and swung his sword while moving forward to the end.
From noble mtl dot com
As if I would never stop if I had that trust.
[Khahahahaha— It looks like a fire moth, warrior… Hmm?]
However, the first thing to do was to respond to that will.
It was an unexpected phenomenon that I had experienced once before.
Quadd deuk—
A space that distorts around the Immortal King’s chest.
Geos, who had become battered, got up from his seat at the end, shook off the dissuade from the surroundings, and burned the last life – it was a mystery destroying space.
But.
[Kheu! This guy, it’s okay! Do you think this Hannibal Strauss will fall for the same trick again!]
Yes, the Immortal King was such an irrational being.
No matter how risky it was for a life-and-death blow… I wouldn’t know if it was the first unexpected surprise attack, there was no way I couldn’t respond to an attack I had already experienced once.
Based on his transcendent perception and overwhelming understanding of space, he forcibly joined the split spaces by applying force in the opposite direction of twisting.
‘It’s much more complete than the first attack. If this is the first time you’ve been hit by this while being defenseless…’
He probably couldn’t respond properly to the next holy sword, so he suffered a fatal blow and had to run unseemly.
But that was in the past.
Now he safely defended the attack, and at Heinrich’s level, he could not aim for a gap in the response that occurred in this transcendent perception…
“I told you, Hans.”
However, once again his calculations were off.
Heinrich, who had only been fooled by him until now, casually burrowed into his ‘time’ and—.
Fu-wook—
“I will definitely pierce the holy sword into that heart.”
[Keah?! You, no way…!]
Heinrich’s Holy Sword, shining more brilliantly than ever before.
It was lodged in the chest of Immortal King Hannibal Strauss.
***
Swoop—
I got up from bed
Avatar is myself.
No matter how much it happened in a separate body, the important words of transcending the limits of existence could not have any effect on the main body.
However, such a big thing happened three times in a row.
It was no wonder that I woke up earlier than expected.
“Ha-.”
But even so, all that leaked out was just a sigh.
“…It’s a piece of sh*t.”
And at the same time.
The will, which had been scattered in the meantime, was gathered in one place.
