Chapter 116
116Hwa Slaughter Grand Duke Akasha(3)
When an acolyte completes a quest and becomes a Holy Grail Knight chosen by the gods, he or she is given three holy relics..
The first is armor.
Whether light or medium armor, a knight is given the strongest armor made of star iron to protect his body..
The second is a magic spear..
A knighted man, a man who breaks the enemy's brunt from the vanguard..
At the moment of breakthrough, the destructive power of the magic spear breaks through the tidal wave called the enemy..
The third is the holy sword.
A divine metal that compresses the energy of stars. A holy sword forged by the best blacksmith of the blacksmith god Heto..
It's not just a sharp sword.
The ultimate sacred object designed to imbue the power of the god served by the Holy Grail Knight..
Therefore, the Holy Grail Knight's holy sword symbolizes the power of God..
So what is the holy sword of the Holy Grail Guardian??
Kingdom knights are given a sword of immortality..
Cut down the enemies of the kingdom with unbreakable faith..
The Holy Grail Knights are blessed with the sword of glory..
It has become a symbol that reflects the brilliant light of the gods..
So what kind of sword does the Grail Guardian receive?.
Holy Grail Guardian.
A person who receives a lion heart transplant and becomes a demi-god, protecting the Holy Grail, the sacred object of all gods..
They cut down the kingdom's enemies.
They allow the glory of the gods to flourish.
however.
The Lionheart King does not symbolize the power of God..
The Lionheart King is a representative of God's will..
The Lionheart King's holy sword is forged by the hammering of Heto, polished with the flame of Fetos, and the light of Ariana is engraved on the sword..
In addition, countless gods put their blessings into swords, so the divinity of countless gods is contained in those swords..
thus.
That holy sword is the ultimate light..
As a representative of God, it is the power wielded on behalf of God..
The will of a living demigod is the will of God..
The lion-hearted king is the general will of all gods..
"Light."
Come. I hope.
I am justice.
"Flame."
burn my enemies.
The flame of battle that a war rider will unleash.
"The sea."
Swallow their footsteps.
The waves are always on my side; the storms will never harm me..
The fog of death unfolds and leads you to an eternal dream..
Life grows in salt-filled land and protects only one person..
The sky turns yellow and thunder and lightning roar..
The sun pours out strong energy and appoints one person as the judge of the world..
Darkness pours down and appoints an avenger for the destruction of the world..
That's not all.
more. more. more. more.
Gods protect you.
God's protection and blessings are endlessly added to those who represent all gods..
The holy sword of extreme light dazzlingly overlapped with brilliant light as if representing all the powers of God..
"──monster."
Akasha grew tired of seeing Leon, who wielded such enormous malevolent power, yet displayed layer after layer of divinity..
He knows about several generations of Lionheart Kings through hearsay..
They are the strongest among the Holy Grail Knights, and their level of existence is clearly different from that of saints..
But in the end, we were born human. Even if you are half god, you are still half human..
Their vessels also had limitations. Even if it represents the power of God, there is no number of gods or size of power that can be accepted..
But what is that guy??
How many gods have you accepted??
Akasha didn't know. The miracle of one human being containing all the gods in his own heart..
The strongest Holy Grail Guardian of all time.
The greatest lion-hearted king in history.
Even if the gods have their dislikes, the reason he proudly claims to represent all gods is because he is a human being who can do that..
"It's dangerous. That catastrophe could be repeated.."
In that war, the demons lost most of their archdemons. In particular, the demons of chaos, pleasure, and wisdom suffered a crushing blow when they lost their monarch..
Three of the four monarchs died at the hands of the author and the Grail Knights..
Even though he was a demon archduke of slaughter, he lost his true self to a damn orc..
We have to deal with it now..
I realized it instinctively.
If it continues to survive and increase its source of power called 'faith', it will further transform into a fearful being that cannot be helped..
"Die, leaving behind the glory of the past.!"
"My glory is immortal forever!!"
A falling sword of destruction and slaughter. What stands against this is the holy sword that represents the blessings and power of all gods..
The light advances toward the falling magic sword. At the moment of collision, the crushed side is the magic sword..
"──!!"
The shape of a magic sword that crumbles and burns. The screams of something lifeless on a burning god seem to echo throughout the world..
"monster……."
Even the Archduke of Slaughter couldn't stop the despair from flowing out of his mouth..
The polar light that splits space, shatters the magic sword, and cuts the sky sails to the other side of the universe..
towards the stars.
* * * *
Everything it touches disappears.
The polar light that swallowed Akasha's sword is not satisfied with that, and even transforms the atmosphere above Shikoku Island..
God's holy power pours down on the entire world, and the transformation to another world progresses in areas where God's grace did not reach..
In this space, malignant beings eat away at existence just by being there. This was the reason why the holy sword, especially Leon's holy sword, was so terribly feared..
"……."
Even after achieving such a miracle, Leon looks unsatisfied. It was worth it.
That blow just now was a blow that was swung with the intention of annihilating the demon archduke's soul..
"K-uh──"
The bottom of an evaporated sea. Akasha, the fallen Duke of Slaughter, is breathing heavily. No, more precisely, the body of his host, Cheon Ji-ho..
"Life is as tough as a cockroach.."
Leon gave a look of contempt..
"Hehehe—I'm weak. No, I couldn't contain all my strength.."
Akasha knows Leon's strength at his peak. She witnessed how the Lord of Wisdom died.
The great Lionheart King who brought out the power of the stars and broke the Transcendental Magic that would destroy the continent..
The power that defeated the three monarchs is decidedly lacking compared to then..
"Faith is not enough."
No matter how much you receive the holy laws and blessings of all the gods, in the end, it is the holy power that is replaced by the sum of your faith..
This world still lacked worship of gods. in result──
-Cheek!
There are scars on Leon's body. It was the first wound he had had since coming from this world..
There are wounds on the body of the Holy Grail Guardian, which is stronger than mediocre armor.?
"Even among cockroaches, you deserve to be the leader.."
He was not even directly hit by Akasha's sword, but was injured by the shock wave of the collapse. If only I had Leon's armor, this wouldn't have happened..
'However, it is unavoidable..'
Leon has been at war for over 200 years..
He was 121 years old. He defeated the Lord of Pleasure, the only one who survived the battle against the demonic army, and had to defeat dozens of great demons, several demonic dukes, and the endless army of evil that stretched beyond the horizon all by himself..
There, Leon fought in a place where there were no believers to offer his ‘faith’ to..
By consuming the holy relics left behind by the Holy Grail Knights,.
He used numerous holy swords, holy spears, and holy armor completed with brilliant blessings as energy sources, and even consumed his own armor as an energy source in the last great battle, Year 266..
Even that wasn't enough and in the end the holy sword was damaged..
"But, you seem to be mistaken, evil son.."
"──??"
"The main king has definitely become weaker compared to the past. Compared to the time when I was hunting down you dirty evil species. Sore……."
Aim your sword. The holy sword, which still had the divine power of the gods remaining, was shining brightly..
"Even if the original king has become weaker, what does it mean if you are not stronger than the original king??"
Sigh! The lion-hearted king steps on the floor. The holy sword strikes at the same speed you rushed at..
-Kyaang!
"nice─!"
It was barely prevented, but the shock wave spread and a crater was formed. Akasha, barely able to withstand it with her wounded body, kicked Leon in the stomach and retreated behind her..
<Blood Wave>
As soon as they retreat, a red wave attacks Leon. The holy sword that strikes it. Movement that violates the laws of physics by losing energy.
A wave as broken as glass passed by Leon's cheek, but that was all..
Akasha took a further step back. She will make time by running on the ground below sea level..
"Stallion…!"
A divine beast of light summoned towards him as he runs away. I fired my sword energy at the divine beast of light rushing towards me, but──
-Quack!
It doesn't work at all. The Shinsu that receives Leon's holy power boasts invincible resistance to attacks from the front..
At least it might have been possible if Akasha had the remaining magic power, but against Leon, it would be impossible to even stop that sprint, regardless of quality or quantity..
"Yes, you are stronger.!"
Acknowledging this honestly, Akasha looked for an opportunity to regain her power. but…….
A halo of light pouring from the sky. The otherworldly fire created when the Holy Sword's polar light cuts the sky slows recovery..
This space where the miracles of the gods overlap is like a sanctuary..
"You ignorant bastard! You waste your little holy power indiscriminately.!"
The bloody waves of the Great Duke of Slaughter overlap one after another. It has been transformed into a sphere with a terrible amount of magic power, and it is a bomb that will entangle the knight in front..
"In Lionheart…!"
The Lionheart King holding the holy spear doesn't care..
"Glory be to you…!!"
A straight, frontal assault without any tricks. An explosion explodes and an enormous amount of pressure crashes down on Leon..
'stolid…!'
This is a clear slander. It's shocking how ignorant they are to face tyranny head on without even armor..
Shinbeol <Flame of Battle>
"nice──!?"
A rider breaking through flames. No, it's not a breakthrough. The fire that should have burned Leon through tyranny is swirling as if it were entangled in Leon's spear..
'power of flame…!'
I recall the memory of the Holy Grail Knight of Flame walking from the great devil's hellfire in the great war..
No fire can hurt the Holy Grail Knight, who has the power of flame. Rather, it only adds to your power as it dominates all the flames on the battlefield.…!
"Get over it, you evil bastard.!!"
The focused flames shoot towards Akasha. An irrational group of people who hate long-range weapons but prefer javelins thrown with their own strength..
But regardless of how irrational it was, the results it produced were amazing..
The sea was opened.
The destructive power far surpassed the fact that all the seas within a 3km radius centered on Leon were pushed away by the swarm of light..
A hole appears in the sea, extending all the way to the South Sea of Japan. That's not all. The sea through which the spear passed would have boiled over in an instant, causing a terrible rise in water temperature and turning countless lives into boiled meat..
A massacre would have occurred where no one would know who the devil of slaughter was..
'You won't be able to win. alone─!'
Akasha stopped. Leon was about to rush forward without hesitation, but he felt something flying and deployed his holy technique..
Holy Law <Blessing of the Arrow Shield>
A one-time only defense method that blocks any long-distance attack. And it 'nullified' the trident that was thrown at Leon's head..
"Hmm?"
Leon's gaze looks beyond the sea wall. A group of people falling like a pregnant woman giving birth to a fetus in the wall of the sea that is being pushed out by sacred law..
"Are they monsters?."
Monsters unleashed by Akasha when she artificially caused a dungeon break. I thought they had been consumed by the landing, but the numbers were still huge..
"Do you think you can stop this king with these little beasts??"
"Impossible—I guess. However, time can pass.."
Regardless of her spirit, Akasha gritted her teeth..
Since the London Incident, Akasha has amassed her power by carrying out numerous killings and destruction..
I found the best host to replace the lost body, and although not as good as that girl, Cheon Ji-ho was a pretty good host..
'Gathered a lot of magical power. Now all that remains is to completely demonize the host..'
'A monster who received the protection of the ‘God of Fighting’ and ‘hunted’ my body with the power of the ‘God of Sorcery’. We have reached this point after slaughter and destruction to restore the body that he destroyed..
Even though he wasn't the best body, he was on the verge of completely demonizing Cheon Ji-ho. however──
"Because of you, I have to consume this magic power.!!"
The magic sword trembled. The magic sword that has swallowed countless blood and caused destruction so far is itself a huge mass of magical power..
Create a 'gate' with it.
-Gooooooooooo…!
The sword's magic scatters and black energy fluctuates..
In order to escape this guy's pursuit, you can't use an awkward gate. Perfect space, absolutely safe house.
A ‘territory’ where you can close your business right away as it is not affected by the system.'.
"this guy…!"
Leon’s expression is filled with anger. I am not interested in winning the battle. His only concern is the destruction of evil.
For him, who lost the final battle and slaughtered the demons that ran away in all directions one by one, the escape of the evil species was a terrible stress..
"Stop it! It's buying time!"
Dozens of field bosses and hundreds or thousands of monsters rush towards Leon. at that very moment──
-Designate the most important targets. Operation of annihilation armament.
Plasma rays falling from space. The charged particle cannon that accurately shot Akasha and the field bosses pierced the top of their heads..
"──!!"
Akasha blocked the attack, but was distorted. His gaze is directed towards the distant universe..
"You guy─!"
An intrusive surveillance gaze. Even though it is between the camera eyes, the gaze of the mechanical Holy Grail Knight is crossed..
That wasn't all.
-Crying…!
Raining thunderbolts. Leon inherits the dark cloud activated by the Sky and Thunder Holy Technique and drops dozens of thunderbolts..
"I need to save my magic power in case of an emergency.."
On the sea. At the top of the cliff-like cliff, the silver magic queen smiles seductively. she was riding her horse.
"Please leave the support fire to me, Ms. Hari.."
Behind them were dozens of horsemen and hundreds of soldiers. I walked on the sea. It is a miracle caused by the goddess of the sea and waves..
"Can I really just leave here??"
Hari appeared to be standing on a cliff in the middle of the sea, looking far below with an anxious expression on his face. Jaehyuk fussed..
"Uh-huh! Senior Hari, you lack faith.!"
Jaehyuk, who was even more fussy, grins. he stretched out his hand.
"Ultima protects us!!"
Jaehyuk drives the reins and jumps down the cliff. White clouds gathered together on his fall route..
"Hahaha! I will ride this cloud and land as splendidly as Geunduun.──!"
-Crying!
However, Jaehyuk's wish did not come true. The moment it lands on the gathered clouds, it passes right through and falls..
"Oh my, it looks like I can't handle the law that well yet.."
Beatrice stretches out her beautiful fingers as if she is sorry. At that moment, gravity reverses throughout the region..
"Oh, oh oh……."
Jae- hyuk moves through space in a kind of weightless state and lands softly. They were followed by dozens of Knight Cadets and Men-at-Arms..
"……."
Akasha could not hide her disappointment as she watched this..
It's only been four months since that hunchback announced the existence of the Lionheart King, but he's already formed a corps this size..
Moreover, there are two Holy Grail Knights. That lump of scrap metal and that silver-haired magician are not here..
Although only a few are still at the level of kingdom knights, that girl is a threat even to herself..
"Soldiers of the Kingdom…!"
Leon shouted. The Lionheart King's army is gathered behind him..
"Destroy your enemies…!"
""I will uphold your name.!!""
Hunters of the pantheon rush towards Akasha without a moment of hesitation, accompanied by the cry of the Lionheart King..
Even the terrible debuffs granted just by Akasha's presence are useless to those who belong to the Lionheart King's legion..
-wow!
-Quack!
-Crying…!
Raining thunderbolts and pouring flames. The energy of light that protects allies... The power of vengeance that unleashes darkness.
Overwhelming.
It was largely due to the fact that the field boss was sniped in advance and the initial lightning strike was not blocked. but…….
-Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…!
"the gate is open!!"
Akasha was able to hold out long enough to escape..
Entrusting himself to that black crack, the Great Duke of Slaughter declares:.
"I will not forget, even if it takes a thousand years, I will come back.!"
For an immortal being, that is not a long time. This is not the only place where there will be slaughter, so you will have time to recover your strength elsewhere..
"Where… Are you running away?!!"
At that time, Leon threw something from far away. It was a holy spear that was recovered after crossing subspace..
-wow!
It cut off Akasha's and Cheonjiho's arms as they tried to go over the gate. But that's all.
Akasha frowned, but did not stop running, and soon the gate he closed closed and the crack disappeared..
""…………….""
They stared blankly at the crack that had disappeared..
………
……
…
The battle was overwhelming.
Leon, Beatrice, and Yapi's support fire.
It was not an army that could be stopped by a group of monsters that had lost their leader..
"What I was worried about happened."
Beatrice approaches Leon, who was staring at the disappeared crack..
"exactly. It was a waste.."
The devil... I also missed the Demon Duke. Nevertheless, Leon does not feel any regrets..
"Your Majesty, have you secured insurance just in case??"
It was Beatrice’s question. Leon twitched the corner of his mouth. It was a smile so ferocious that the devils would have been sick of it if they had seen it..
"It's here."
Leon takes a picture with his holy spear and shows it off as if showing off his trophy. It was Akasha's arm that was cut off right before she escaped..
"Can I summon the gate with this??"
"Of course."
Beatrice smiles. Her bewitching smile somehow had a similar aura to Leon's..
"You will find out what kind of evil it is. It's no longer safe just because it's home."
"That's right. There's nowhere safe for them anymore."
"Huhuhuhuhuhuhu…!"
"Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!"
The laughter of the two kings, twisted by hatred, echoed darkly beneath the sea surface of Shikoku Island..
