History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 176

176fury. shoulder to shoulder (2)

Skunk!

A silver longsword filled with aura flashed..

It dug into the Hell Knight's skull with the force of a flash..

It was that moment.

- ……!

Hell Knight leaping into the air.

The hell knight's greatsword moved.

Wow!-!

swept the space above him.

This was the direction in which Javiel's sword was stabbed..

However, the Hell Knight's greatsword trajectory did not overlap with the longsword's trajectory..

beside?

It wasn't.

‘I'm aiming for Javiel.’

Lloyd opened his eyes without realizing it..

He was clinging to the Hell Knight's leg and hanging on with his whole body. If she raised her head, she could see everything happening above..

I saw it thanks to you.

I was able to realize.

Hell Knight's intentions.

‘This guy is trying to die with Javiel..’

He didn't seem to have any intention of protecting himself from being stabbed in the skull..

Instead, they used that as an opportunity to cut off Javiel's entire body..

short time.

Lloyd's brain was spinning..

We measured the direction of the fight that will unfold from now on..

‘This feels fierce..’

Hell Knight and Javiel.

If we inflict fatal damage on each other?

Only Javiel will fall.

Hell Knight will be relatively unharmed..

Then, it is natural that the person who is left alone will become a dessert for the Hell Knight..

‘I have to stop it!’

Javiel's Longsword and Hell Knight's Greatsword.

They were already crossing each other and passing each other..

They were rushing towards their respective goals..

Javiel takes the Hell Knight's skull.

The Hell Knight grabs Javiel’s body..

The moment you try to stab and cut.

Lloyd suddenly stretched his hands up..

He grabbed the ribs exposed under the Hell Knight's breastplate as if holding an iron bar..

Even the shabby mind technique and mana heart, forearm and back muscles.

I used all my strength and pulled it hard like I was doing pull-ups..

‘Geaap!’

Pawgak!

The Hell Knight's upper body was slightly stretched..

The Hell Knight's movements were slightly shaken..

momentarily shaken balance.

Just a millimeter of hesitation.

That small difference distorted the trajectory of the great sword..

Whoa whoa!

The great sword barely cut through the air..

Javiel twisted his body through the gap..

I stretched out my long sword..

to the end.

Skunk!

- ……!

Skull pierced by a long sword.

Hell Knight's whole body trembled greatly..

But as if it wasn't over yet, he spun his whole body around with even more ferocious force, as if he was struggling. She swung her great sword. Up, down, sideways. It went on a rampage, destroying everything that came into range..

Javiel didn't back down either..

Rather, they counterattacked..

His longsword showed off flashy movements and steadily stabbed and cut through the gaps between the Hell Knights..

Every time, the Hell Knight's body shook greatly..

Lloyd, who was hugging the guy's pelvis and legs, didn't stay silent either..

He blocked the Hell Knight's movements like a cicada with both arms and legs, and made full use of the weapons that could be used freely even in that state..

It was the mouth.

“Peace like a river to me! It's like a river to me! Ga-gang-gang-gah-gah-gang to me! Like a river! Spread it out! It's overflowing!”

Lloyd sang with all his might..

Bringing back memories of my military days.

Or, I remember going to the temple with my mom when I was young..

He used all the church songs and Buddhist scriptures he knew..

His vocal cords trembled with all their might as he uttered an exorcism..

All kinds of discordant sounds waved across my tongue..

“Color immediately! Ball color! Profit from winning prizes! Let’s buy it when the odds are against us! Tense law construction aaaang!”

I shouted and sang with all my might..

Out of tune and beeping occurred frequently..

Of course I didn't do it on purpose..

He was really trying to sing properly.

However, the cold sky gave him the talent for studying, but did not give him even one gram of musical talent..

Yes.

he was tone deaf.

That was also very tone deaf..

‘shit. me too… … I'm not doing this because I want to.!’

Sing with all your might.

Lloyd suddenly remembered an old memory..

Was it when I was a private in the military?.

Even back then, I had a really hard time with the song..

Every time I sang a military song during the morning canter, I was scolded by my seniors..

The cause was the tremendous sense of pitch that reduced even military songs, where pitch was not important, to transcendental dissonance..

It wasn't just then.

Every Sunday morning in the military.

It was the first and only time in my life that I went to church diligently..

It was because the church gave me chocolate pies..

But he wasn't welcome there either..

Was it the first time you went to church and sang hymns?.

I had to get glared at again because of this damn song..

I tried my best to sing along..

The military chaplain was so shocked..

‘He looked at me like he was looking at a devil who had descended on the earth. I still can't forget those eyes!’

Was that all?.

Even after that, something sad happened again..

Was it right after returning to school?.

At that time, we had a relationship at school just once..

One day, I went to a coin karaoke room with my boyfriend..

Thanks to you, our relationship ended from that day on..

‘…….’

I'm getting depressed so don't think about it anymore.

Let's admit it instead.

Yeah, I'm tone deaf..

But I'm not ashamed of it.

Sometimes you can use this as a weapon.

‘like now! This time I go to Cheon Soo-kyung.!’

The day Buddha came when I was young.

It reminded me of the temple I went to holding my mom’s hand..

I also remembered the monk’s sutra chanting that I heard back then..

A firm determination appeared in Lloyd's eyes..

It was from then on..

“Tennis industry mantra! Surisuri Mahasuri Susuri Sabaha!”

Lloyd's voice became more resolute, containing a vibe full of fire..

The more it happened, the more distracted Hell Knight became..

- ……stop!

Please stop, you crazy person.!

Hell Knight truly wanted to wish..

Just the silver-haired knight in front of me is too much..

There was a strange thing clinging to the bottom like a cicada, singing a strange song that would make even the devils of hell sing..

Even how shamelessly loud that voice is..

The crack in my skull where I was stabbed by the sword earlier was on the verge of widening..

No, actually the Hell Knight's skull was split in two..

Because of the blow from Javiel earlier,.

Because I couldn't find time to recover from it..

After that, I got hit one after another..

Hell Knight's entire body collapsed, crumbled, and fell apart in real time..

and finally.

“Lloyd, now!”

Javiel shouted..

As soon as I shouted, a blast containing aura exploded..

At that moment Lloyd stopped singing..

The Hell Knight's pelvis and legs were placed..

threw myself to the side.

The blast hit in an instant..

The Hell Knight's upper body was swept away..

- ……!

Throwing a bet-!

The Hell Knight's armor melted..

The great sword held out in front for defense, the bones holding it, and the entire upper body were swept away by the force of the blast filled with aura. It melted. It broke, crumbled, became powder, scattered and flew away..

sweet!

The barely remaining Hell Knight's lower body shook..

My only leg kneeled down.

Then it tilted to the side..

Soon all the bones broke off and collapsed..

Wagdak…….

Upper body scattered into powder.

The lower body collapsed and piled up.

A strange silence gripped the interior of the public hall..

Lloyd, who had thrown himself to the side, gasped and raised his upper body..

‘Okay, gotcha..’

I caught the Hell Knight.

myself and haviel.

Together, we finished off that incredible guy..

But that was then..

“It's still too early to feel safe. That guy will come back to life.”

Javiel said, still with a stern expression..

The guy even kept pointing his sword at the pile of bones of the collapsed Hell Knight..

“Coming back to life? No way, resurrection?”

“I don't know about that. but-”

Haviel quickly responded to the question asked..

“It was like this before. Before Lloyd came, he had already defeated him. He came back to life. As if he didn't get hit at all..”

“for a moment. That means…….”

“Yeah, his mana didn't dissipate..”

“…….”

I heard it and it was true.

I could feel the sadness through the dark mind..

A large amount of mana remained intact in the pile of bones of the lower body of the Hell Knight that had collapsed..

not scattered at all.

That wasn't all.

‘There are countless amounts of mana gathered in the air..’

The upper body was reduced to dust after being hit squarely by Javiel's blast a while ago..

The powder was floating in the air..

But even there, I felt a huge amount of mana..

‘What the heck.’

I got goosebumps.

That the mana was not scattered.

That meant it wasn't extinct..

‘This is what happens. that's right. Come to think of it, there was a similar mention to this in the Iron Blood article..’

Lloyd suddenly remembered the contents of the novel Iron-Blooded Knight..

Just before the Namaran Wall incident broke out.

Was this a line spoken by Cannavaro in the novel?.

‘Cannavaro was confident that if he just summoned the Hell Knight, everything would come true. that's right. They say it's incredibly strong, and even if you kill it, it will respawn endlessly. Because it is a hellish existence. She said she could be resurrected even if every bone in her body turned to dust, she probably could.’

The hell knight was that terrible..

At the same time, the only way to destroy the Hell Knight was also briefly mentioned..

‘They said the only way was to completely deplete the Hell Knight's mana. So Cannavaro was confident. It could be so. To deplete mana, you have to roll, hit, and overwork it excessively to lose strength, or absorb mana with special magic or tools..’

But who in the world can beat Hell Knight to the point of exhaustion?.

Or what tool or magic can absorb the Hell Knight's powerful mana?.

Both are only possible in theory..

There is almost no person, tool or magic that can actually do it..

So, in the novel, Cannavaro was confident that Hell Knight was almost invincible..

‘It's still the same now.’

In the novel, Cannavaro was convinced of the Hell Knight's fearsome resurrection ability..

Judging from what Javiel said earlier, it seemed to be true..

That means…….

“Then I'll handle it..”

“yes?”

Habiel looking this way.

The guy's eyes were wide.

That sight made me smile..

This was because, even though he was always grumbling, I could clearly feel his concern and desire to protect me at critical moments..

“I do it. You know that. what can i do.”

“Are you talking about that indiscriminate mana absorption?.”

“uh.”

fast charge.

Now is the time we need it.

I need to deplete the Hell Knight's mana..

If you don't, you'll have to deal with the endless resurrection..

There is nothing better than rapid charging to break the cycle of resurrection..

“So back off. Don't let anyone come near.”

“Lloyd.”

“know. I'm worried too. I'm scared too.”

It's true.

The boy's expression of concern.

I faced him and smiled..

“You know it too. I'm not the type of person who enjoys overeating..”

“Would you mind?.”

“It should be okay. Actually, I don’t feel like it either. But it seems there is no other way. I'm a little worried about my stomach upset, but I'll try as much as I can for now..”

I shrugged my shoulders..

To be honest, it is true that I am worried..

It's Hell Knight's Manada..

Can you absorb it indiscriminately and still be okay?.

When I think of that thought, I feel skeptical as to whether this is crazy..

To be really honest, I didn't feel like it and I was scared..

‘But if you don't do it, you'll die anyway. Even Javiel wouldn't be able to handle the endlessly resurrecting Hell Knights. That's the same for me too. Everyone in this city is the same.’

So, now that you have subdued the Hell Knight for a short time, now is your chance..

You have to do this now..

You never know when an opportunity like this will come again..

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, everyone will suffer..

Of course you will suffer too.

‘So, it's a judgment call anyway..’

If you don't do it, you die.

Even if you fail, you die.

You have to succeed to survive.

Then there is no choice..

Just give it a try.

Biting my lip, I approached the Hell Knight's torn lower body..

I took a deep breath and prepared my mind..

“Step back.”

Javiel was pushed back.

without any further hesitation.

I picked up a steel shovel.

Tuchem-!

A triple blast fired with full power blew away the ceiling of the public hall..

My mana was rapidly depleting and I felt dizzy..

I held back a bit of nausea and opened the skill window..

I chose to activate the option.

[Assassin's Mind skill option ⑤: Rapid charge is activated.]

[Absorbs a large amount of mana from random nearby targets..]

It was from then on..

The three-pronged mana circle roared..

Began to absorb all mana within the option range.

Nothing was left alone..

The marble on the floor.

Even the debris that was rolling around.

The ruined lower body of the Hell Knight.

Bone dust and mana scattered in the air.

I absorbed it all ravenously. gorged.

What is easy to absorb and what is difficult.

pure and cloudy.

didn't cover anything.

I stole it, extorted it, robbed it, and made it mine..

If the Hell Knight was summoned with normal powers.

Or, if it wasn't in such a state of being suppressed and broken down as it is now..

It wouldn't have happened like this.

Could have resisted fast charging.

but not now.

Summoned in an incomplete form.

It was suppressed and collapsed, creating a gap..

- ……!

In the echo of violent absorption, the screams of Hell Knight Lord Georexius, commander of the Hell Corps, rang out..

A cry of death.

that was the last time.

And after a while.

[Asurahan's mind skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charge has ended..]

Berserk Mana Absorption has ended..

The rampaging Mana Circle has become quiet..

Lloyd slowly opened his eyes..

Where his gaze is directed.

There were already numerous messages floating in the air..

[You have destroyed Lord Hellknight Sir Georexius, the commander of the Hell King's army..]

[The King of Hell is amazed at this incredible feat you have performed. The ruler of Hell, who lost his corps commander, has begun to take notice of your talent, wit, and potential for advancement..]

[Additionally, you have absorbed a large amount of the Hell Knight's mana and made some of it your own..]

[This rare experience has had a huge impact on your skills and options..]

[Mana Heart skill option, ‘④ Undead Domination’ has been promoted from a skill sub-option to an independent skill..]

[Undead domination skills have blossomed.]

[Undead domination skills have been strengthened.]

[Various restrictions and conditions for using undead domination skills have been greatly relaxed or deleted..]
