162 – 49. Prophesized Savior (2)
A decisive battle taking place on the hill of Golgotha.
Elijah created the sun from the sky and made it fall.
Scorching light and flames fell towards the emperor.
But.
As if the wind is blowing wildly, evil! A sound was heard and the sun was sucked in somewhere.
The target that was sucked in was Geist, the leader of the Imperial Magic Corps.
There was a black dot on his head with both hands raised.
A spot the size of a fist, the depth of which is difficult to gauge.
The sun rotated there, was absorbed, and soon disappeared.
Geist looked down at Elijah and grinned.
“At one time, it was truly a curse, but when I thought about it again, I was grateful. “To live in the same era as the wizard who will rewrite history.”
Elijah D. Bevel.
A genius wizard called the second coming of the mythical era.
Her mere presence had an influence that was hard to ignore on countless magicians.
And before Elijah awakened as a wizard, there were three genius wizards.
Balak, Epona, Geist.
However, among them, Geist was the strongest simply in terms of his innate ‘talent’.
He whose talents faded because of Elijah, paradoxically was influenced the most by Elijah.
As she deciphered, analyzed, and imitated her magic, her own skills also grew rapidly.
And while Elijah had been living in seclusion for several weeks to take care of her Judah.
Geist even has the means to oppose Elijah.
“… ….”
Elijah stared at him intently.
‘… It wasn’t like this before.’
The atmosphere he gave off has changed.
It is much darker and deeper.
It resembles the sticky and squishy atmosphere unique to black magic.
‘… ‘I can’t see the Imperial Magic Corps.’
The Imperial Magic Division was not annihilated.
In addition to Geist, there are survivors.
However, the only members of the Imperial Magic Division here are Geist.
There were no wizards among those who fled with the sun statue earlier.
And, John’s black magic defense wall that easily defended his magic earlier.
‘A few days ago. ‘The incident in which Yggdrasil’s residents disappeared on a large scale.’
Clues intersect and draw results.
“… “You used a lot of sacrifices.”
The rest of the Imperial Magic Corps.
And the thousands of residents of Yggdrasil.
All of them were sacrificed to black magic and used to strengthen Johan and Geist.
Elijah guessed that way.
“That’s amazing reasoning ability.”
Geist smiled and confirmed her words.
“I had no idea that black magic could be used in so many different ways.”
“It’s a good thing the monster wizard didn’t realize it sooner. “If they had even dabbled in black magic, I would never have been able to handle it.”
“Well…. “It’s enough for me without that.”
Elijah glared at him disapprovingly and then turned his gaze away from her.
Judas right behind him.
Unlike his personal guard, he stayed by his side.
Just seeing that you were next to me warmed a corner of my heart.
“Judas.”
“Yes. Miss.”
He answered while still keeping an eye on his surroundings.
“Come back.”
It meant to go out and fight instead of staying by one’s side.
Judah looked at her with concern.
Elijah smiled without realizing it.
Even though it was an urgent situation, I laughed.
His worry was so pleasant.
“You don’t have to worry.”
The sun rose in the sky.
It was unstable and distorted compared to the sun that Elijah created, but it was clearly the magic that Elijah used.
But Elijah did not cast magic.
It was imitated by Geist.
Hot light explodes.
Elijah didn’t care and was gently held in Judah’s arms.
It is hard because of the armor.
It doesn’t even reach body temperature.
She was okay though.
Under the falling sun, Elijah smiled while being held by Judah.
“If I have you, I won’t die.”
“… ….”
Judas sighed deeply.
Actually, worrying is ridiculous.
Elijah is stronger than any of his allies.
Furthermore, our troops are currently at a serious disadvantage.
Rather than just staying by Elijah’s side, it is actually more advantageous for her to come forward herself.
“… “You have to be careful.”
Elijah’s smile became clearer.
“Those words are enough.”
She slowly fell from his body.
Judas stared at her face for a moment.
Narrowly folded eyes.
The eyes below are golden.
Originally, her eyes were glowing orange on a red background, with a sun-like golden sun in the center.
The eyes of the crazy fire were definitely like that.
But now, her eyes shined brightly with pure gold.
“You too be careful.”
It was a situation where there was no time to look in and worry.
Elijah said, holding her fingertips, and Judah resolutely nodded her head.
Elijah’s golden eyes looked up at her.
The sun filled the sky.
Compared to yourself, you are insignificant.
Elijah flew straight toward the sun.
Her falling sun swallowed her.
After that, the sun became smaller at a rapid rate.
The sun, which had been falling, disappeared before we knew it.
And Elijah was floating in that place.
Sparkling golden eyes look down at the ground.
The sun did not disappear.
It was held in her hand.
The small, compressed sun trembled as if it would escape from her grasp at any moment.
Geist also rose to the same height as her.
Elijah kept an eye on him.
‘Geist…. I wonder if you have the confidence to fight me. The emperor will do something for Judah. Let us trust him.’
You do what you have to do.
It won’t take long.
“But, if you thought you would be able to imitate me and deal with me to this extent, you would be disappointed.”
Elijah stretched out her hand holding her sun to Geist.
‘Orbit distortion.’
Twist the trajectory of the power about to explode.
‘Miniaturized supernova explosion, straight line.’
The golden light extends straight out and scratches the ground.
The ground touched by the rays boils, and the enemy soldiers burn to the ground.
A straight gap appeared in the enemy formation that filled the surrounding area.
There was Geist at the end of the beam.
After the ray of light turns the earth once, beep! A sharp noise spread everywhere.
“Pfft!”
He used defensive magic and simultaneously cast teleportation.
If you take a direct hit from that, even this body with a protective barrier won’t be able to withstand it.
It was best to get out of this situation.
It is very difficult to use magic at the same time.
This is even more true when high-level magic such as teleportation is mixed in.
If you make a mistake in calculation, you may end up in the wrong place, but Geist decided to trust himself, who was strengthened by black magic.
A ray of light that turns the sight before your eyes pure white.
When you use teleportation, your field of vision changes drastically.
Successful.
Arrived near Elijah.
It happened as expected, so the magic continues.
Stretch out your hand….
“… ?!”
Elijah was looking at himself.
It seemed like she had expected it.
She had already extended her hand to herself.
Golden flames flicker in her hands.
Elijah smiled leisurely.
The fastest and strongest magic at close range used by Balak.
The object is cursed, but there is no sin in magic.
And, mine is stronger and faster than that.
‘Emission of solar core.’
-Boom!
A brilliant golden color exploded.
Geist had no time to defend or evade.
He was hit directly.
“Wow….”
Vomiting blood.
My waist was cut off by fire.
The upper body and lower body are separated and falls over.
However.
“As expected, it’s scary….”
Geist laughed bitterly.
Black shadows rise from the cut surfaces of the upper and lower bodies and connect them.
The wound healed in an instant, just as it had lengthened.
Geist, whose waist was long, looked like a centipede.
The obsession felt in his gray eyes resembles madness.
“I can’t die like this…” .”
Elijah looked down at him indifferently and spat out.
“It’s disgusting.”
*
“Judas! Miss?!”
Richard said as he cut the enemy’s back.
Judas, who had just joined, finished off the enemy by cutting off his head and answered.
“You went up saying you were going to deal with a wizard!”
My ears ring and the ground shakes because of the magic battle taking place in the air.
Because of that, the two had to shout and talk.
“He’s not someone we should worry about!”
“How is our situation?”
“I’m bored! “There are too many opponents!”
Imperial Guard.
Imperial knight.
And, soldiers strengthened with black magic.
All of them are threatening enemies.
Excluding Elijah, the number of allies is only 9.
They are barely defending themselves with their backs to each other.
There is also Yuel, but it is difficult to expect him to fight.
Can you hold out until Elijah kills Geist and comes down?
That is the situation.
It is different from the battle where he faced the imperial army alone at Elijah’s mansion.
The opponent was widely scattered in all directions, and I repeatedly used Yuel and terrain features to surprise and hide.
This is an open desert with no bushes or trees.
I was exposed to numerous enemies surrounding me.
Even the quality of the enemy army has improved since then.
Every soldier strengthened with black magic is a threat.
The only consolation is that there are no wizards.
This is thanks to Geist absorbing everything.
Even so, the situation was not hopeful.
From noble mtl dot com
‘It can’t go on like this.’
Judah looked up the hill while facing the crowd of enemies.
Emperor John.
He was looking up at Elijah while holding a spear.
It seems like there is no need to worry about this.
It seems like they are looking for an opportunity to surprise Elijah.
‘In all the time I knew, the emperor had never done anything like this. In particular, he even used black magic to wish upon evil spirits….’
Why did the emperor’s future change?
I don’t know.
It wasn’t a problem worth worrying about now.
The important thing is how to get through this situation.
‘There’s no way those two don’t know the power of me and Elijah. Nevertheless, the reason I fought was because I had some faith in it. The incident that occurred recently when a resident of the imperial capital disappeared, was it black magic? .’
An ominous black energy wafts around Johan and Geist.
This is a sign of being invaded by black magic.
‘And the soldiers mutated/enhanced with black magic…. ‘These guys are a huge problem, but there are too many of them to reduce them one by one.’
Those brainwashed by black magic have reduced intelligence.
You can’t move as planned as these soldiers do now.
In other words, it means that there is a core center that controls their mental state.
Just like when I tracked down the warlock and encountered him in the underground city during the SS exam.
‘Geist, or Johan. Either one. Or both.’
And that spear of John is dangerous.
We cannot let them aim at Elijah.
‘It seems like Geist has become stronger than before. There’s no way Elijah will lose, but there shouldn’t be any variables. He must kill the emperor as quickly as possible.’
Judas cut off the guard’s arm, kicked him away, and shouted.
“Richard! Please help me!”
“What is it!”
“Please provide cover so I can get to the emperor!”
“If I go, can I win?!”
“Yes!”
Judas answered with confidence.
Richard grinned.
“You bastard! I like it because it’s refreshing! Hey Dylan! “Did you hear-!”
Dylan responded with a command instead.
“Assemble the SS!”
A loud cry shook the battlefield.
The entire SS gathered around Dylan without even looking.
“Open the road! “Protect Judah!”
A gentle hill leading up to where the emperor is.
Enemies are rampant.
The SS decided to make a one-point breakthrough in that direction, as if they were creating a road all at once.
This is dangerous as it makes it easier to be surrounded.
Still, I decided to take it.
“Judas.”
Lindel tapped Judas on the shoulder.
Her hand touching her shoulder was trembling slightly.
“I will cover you, so just run.”
The fastest person in the SS.
Also, the person who has grown the most compared to the past.
Judah nodded, recalling for a moment the day of her first confrontation with Lindel.
“… All right.”
“Forward!”
Taking Dylan’s tearful shout as a signal, Judah ran.
The front is crowded with enemies.
It comes in like a wave.
Sword and spear.
Arrows and crossbows.
All kinds of weapons were aimed at Judah.
Warnings from survival experts poured in from all directions.
Instinctive fear soared.
I wanted to block or avoid it.
But Judah gritted his teeth and endured it.
Ignore it and just move forward. Moving forward again.
She only ran forward.
Then, as if repaying that trust.
-Chang, Kang!
Richard and Dylan intervened to stop and eliminate Judah’s threat.
“Run!”
“Go!”
The destination is the emperor.
It would have taken only a few seconds to run with the body of a knight, but it felt very far.
Judas gritted his teeth.
“Keep running!”
Lindel stood next to her and shouted.
He ran at a similar speed to Judas and defended her from minor threats around her.
Even when the enemy blocked the front, Judah just ran.
Then other SS troops came running and pushed the enemy aside.
Trusting his colleagues, he kept running.
The surrounding scenery passes by quickly.
The sound of iron hitting iron.
Flashing flames.
The smell of blood. The smell of dirt.
The scream of collapsing.
I can’t tell who it belongs to.
Then at some point.
A knight wearing platinum armor blocks the front.
He was the commander of the Royal Guard.
A vacuum that inevitably arises due to a lack of personnel.
All of the SS are tangled up with other enemies.
Judas tried to put his hand on his sword.
“Just go!”
Lindel shouted urgently.
He ran after Judah to prepare for this moment.
Judas hesitated for a moment.
Commander of the Royal Guard.
He is quite capable.
If he helps himself and cooperates with Lindel, he can kill the unit commander in one blow.
But what after that?
What if the enemy rushes in and you are surrounded just when you hesitate for a moment?
Even now, my colleagues are fighting behind my back.
More than just friends, the SS is now like family.
Richard. Dylan. Felin. Esmo. Jerry. Hador. Gaussian. Nils.
Dike chased after the sun statue. Argon.
You must have been hurt.
Someone may have died.
It is a risky operation that risks one’s life.
If you are surrounded, blocked, and defeated.
The sacrifice becomes meaningless.
In less than 0.1 Seconds.
Judas made up his mind and gritted his teeth.
Lindell shouted without looking at him.
“Keep running! Judah-!”
Lindell’s new model next to him shot out like an arrow.
Gets tangled up with the commander of the Royal Guard and disappears out of sight.
I heard someone scream.
Is it Lindell’s or the unit commander’s?
I didn’t know.
I wanted to check, but I ran with my eyes fixed on the emperor.
Just two steps to reach the emperor.
A shadow fell in front of him.
A soldier who had become grotesquely large through black magic fell from the sky, swinging an axe.
Put your hand on the pupil of the moon and pull it out.
A small old moon flashed.
-Oh my!
The place where the sword’s trajectory passed.
The soldier fell to the left and right.
Going head-on into the pouring blood and internal organs, Judah finally stopped running.
I arrive at the foot of John on the hill like a slippery slope.
“… “That’s amazing.”
The emperor looked down at him with admiration.
Judas suppressed his breathing that threatened to explode.
“Now, please look this way…” .”
“It would be a meaningless struggle.”
The emperor’s gaze was directed behind Judah.
Judas shook his head inwardly.
It is not meaningless.
Even if there are no results.
If it is a struggle to fight for oneself, it is absolutely meaningless.
I didn’t say it out loud.
There is no time or space for that.
Just rush in.
The emperor laughed and threw down his spear.
A spear of overwhelming length, twice that of a healthy adult man.
Judah presented a shield.
Just before crashing into the silver-white window.
Float your body as if rolling forward.
The spear passed by, scratching the surface of the shield diagonally.
Judas fell in front of him and struck the emperor’s face with his heel.
“Huh?!”
A counterattack that is close to a stunt.
The emperor was so embarrassed that he could not even defend himself properly and was hit in the face.
Judas quickly stood up and straightened his posture.
The emperor was looking at himself in surprise.
I chuckled to myself.
I don’t know why the emperor is doing this.
Before being possessed, he had fought with that emperor countless times.
When playing the game, I tried many things to approach Elijah.
To try this or that, you needed power.
‘How many times have I killed you?’
In other words, the fight against John was theoretically advanced.
The only variable is that he strengthened his body with black magic.
‘Even so.’
Judas pretended to give them an opportunity, but then attacked them by surprise.
The emperor thrust out his spear.
The target is the face of Judah.
Shedding with a shield.
As if he had expected it, the emperor quickly retracted the spear and stabbed it with his lower body.
His head attack was actually a trick.
However, Judas, who also expected this, jumped up and stood with one foot on his spear pole.
‘I’m not confident I’ll lose.’
The Emperor’s trembling green eyes looked up at him.
