Chapter 128
128Flower Lionheart(1)
Treasure of the Brilliant Kingdom.
In a place containing thousands of years of kingdom history, a cunning snake-headed monster is looking through the books..
Stories of the teachings of the gods and the knights who follow them.
Interesting even for demons who seem to have attracted the concept of wealth from all over the world... No, these are historical books that are more interesting because they are demons who constantly seek wisdom..
What kind of irony is this, as the royal capital of a kingdom that once had the glory of the gods has fallen into the hands of evil?.
The most interesting thing is those who change the laws with their mortal status..
Holy Grail Knight.
There has been a movement to investigate and explore them since a long time ago..
However, even with the power of demons, it was difficult to control the monster knights who wielded the power of the concept even after capturing them..
The Holy Grail Knight of Earth, who was captured about a hundred years ago, has not yet been corrupted, and recently, the Great Duke of Glacier has become a companion to the Holy Grail Knight of Flame..
Even demons who have lived for thousands of years have never seen beings like these knights..
'In terms of being 'living creatures', that is, mortals, they are probably the creatures at the peak of all dimensions..
Among them, the greatest one is the Lionheart King of his time..
24The man who murdered the Lord of Chaos, who spearheaded the invasion following the collapse of the Empire years ago..
It is no exaggeration to say that by defeating the Lord of Chaos, the end of the world was set back by a good 30 years..
Recently, my student also had his limbs torn off by that guy..
But now that's over too.
Their reign has fallen into the hands of evil, and they will be swept away like fallen leaves by the unbearable forces of absolute evil..
The snake-headed devil plans to secure as much knowledge about this world as possible until the last day comes..
──────
It was then. The sound of space vibrating in the world. It was so subtle that no one could have noticed it, but only this devil, who had reached the end of his foresight, noticed it..
"Was there anyone else besides us handling the gate?."
The snake-head's thin finger pointed into the air. The finger of evil causes waves in the world and synchronizes with space..
conformity and interference.
The next moment, evil magic beyond the limits of space interfered with the dimensional gap..
* * * *
"Mmm……."
When Hari entered the gate, he felt the unique spread of light and fluttered his eyelids..
"This is?"
Hari had conquered numerous gates so far, but the gate in front of him was different from the previous gates..
desolate.
The earth was dry, the air was stuffy, and the sky was stained black as if not even the moonlight was shining. okay… Just like the Demon Grand Duke.
"Haha, what is this place??"
Hari turned his head and saw Yapi and Beatrice. He also has Suho, Jaehyuk, and Soyeon. Everyone who entered together caught my eye..
Except Leon..
"……It's a big deal.."
Even Beatrice looked embarrassed at the current situation..
It's different from the time of Holy Grail Knight Zereah. At that time, I didn't know that I had to open the gate for the first time and engrave the arrival coordinates..
But not anymore. Beatrice had a good understanding of the gate, and it was not a task to specify everyone who entered with one coordinate..
"Your Majesty... It looks like you weren't able to enter.."
"Uh, why wasn't your Majesty the only one allowed to enter??"
"I don't know either. Let's go out the gate and check again.."
Everyone agreed with what Beatrice said. The first colorless gate ever. There may be some threat.
Unless you can find a way to resolve the incident, a strategic retreat is a wise move..
"Then re-enter the gate──"
It was then. The gate they were riding through suddenly started shaking and collapsing.!
"Please step away!!"
The group walks away from the gate at the sound of Beatrice's urgent voice. The next moment, the space where the gate was was crushed and swallowed..
The gate is about to disappear. Beatrice urgently poured out her magic power, but it only delayed the disappearance by 3 seconds..
"Hehehehe…!"
"queen!"
The magic power flows back after colliding with the overwhelming magic power that was trying to destroy the gate. Beatrice clutched her pounding heart and vomited blood..
"Are you okay??!"
Beatrice stops Ha-ri, who is trying to rush over. She couldn't hide her frustrated expression..
"This much magic power……."
It was as if I had been hit by a dump truck rushing at full speed. Even Beatrice, who circulated all the magic power of the nature keeper and took it as her own, could not withstand even a moment in front of this endless source of magic..
A monster that does not deal with magical power, but seems to be magical power itself. Was there ever a wizard like that in this world?.
"Miss Hari… Check out the quest."
"Ah, the old days… ancient!"
Hari urgently checks the message window. A blue window reflects in her golden eyes.
[Quest: ■After ■Before■■ ■■B■.]
"Uh, uhh?"
System messages were distorted and unreadable. As if someone had intervened.
"What on earth is this?……."
Beatrice swallowed the stuffy air and suppressed her suffocating heart. Something is strange. Even if it's wrong, it's definitely wrong.
-Reconnaissance begins.
Yapi unfolded the makeshift satellite he had brought with him. After several experimental maneuvers, the gate satellite is close to completion..
Once you launch it into space, you will be able to take a close look at the world inside the gate..
A satellite launch vehicle that flies quickly into space using an ion propellant. It was the moment when the satellite, which had reached the stratosphere in an instant, sparkled with a small light..
-Quaaaaa!!
"Uh oh?!"
Blue energy flying, leaving an intense light in the sky. It flew through the sky like an arrow and shot down a satellite in space orbit..
-Specific shelling point. 140km from here. We will conduct power reconnaissance..
Yapi deployed a reconnaissance drone at the same time as the satellite was shot down. Drones that fill the sky in an instant quickly capture hostile entities..
-Capturing hostile entities. There are many flying objects. Demanding an immediate retreat.
"Cough… ! I guess… It looks like you ended up in a bad place.."
Beatrice swallowed blood and pulled on the horse's reins..
A group of people running through the plains. Yapi also uses the steel legs of its huge fuselage to take the lead and find a safe place..
"Queen! A flying object is approaching from behind.!"
Jaehyuk shouted urgently. As the saying goes, there are a series of groups flying in the red sky..
-Caw! caw!
A raven's head and black wings. The upper and lower body resemble that of a monster rather than a human..
-Counter fire. Limited use of firepower.
Yappy's autocannon is aimed into the air. The next moment, toadadadada! A thunderbolt of fire poured down..
-caw!
-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Crow people falling from the sky without cover. But they're not the only ones being chased.
-Approaching additional aptitude factors.
"Hey, what is that?!"
-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Giant spider-like monsters run. There were about fifty of them, bigger than a chariot..
"Oh Ultima……."
Jaehyuk raised his spear and offered his prayer to the sky. Then the cloud stirred and a flash of light struck the ground..
-Kwaaaaang!
A thunderbolt strikes through the center of the spider monsters. The power of Ultima that Jaehyuk struck down was certainly powerful enough to kill even a fairly large monster with a single blow. but…….
"What, what? only one?"
Except for the spider that was hit directly, the remaining spiders chase them fiercely. Even the most powerful of all sacred laws, the Holy Method of Thunder, only causes that much damage.?
It was at that time that Jaehyuk, who thought he could hit at least four or five, was embarrassed and was about to call out thunder again..
-Main railgun firing.
bang! A rail gun that rides on rails and achieves pyroelectronic acceleration. The railgun rider fired by Yapi penetrated seven monster spiders starting from the front..
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!
Giant monster spiders chase after them, roaring with rage. However, since it was difficult to see in the darkness, Hari fired the sacred power of fireworks high into the sky instead of flares..
The fireworks are so strong that they can be seen from afar, almost like a fireworks festival..
And as the world brightens, the terrible realities are revealed..
"Ah, ah…."
"What, what…!"
Jet-black things are coming. Dirty black things that seem to be encroaching on the world.
"Well, there are so many?!"
Monsters pouring down like a tidal wave, from the air and from the ground. Even though Yappy calculates the optimal route, he cannot find a way out..
-Multiple enemy colonies approaching. estimated approx. 5,354.
Yapi deployed all his weapons. Rail guns, chain guns, and steel wires containing sexual power are stretched..
When everyone was ready to face the approaching enemy forces, they appeared through the darkness..
-Quang!
It was a sound heard from far away..
It was a cheerful and exciting sound, completely different from the one that made a gnawing sound like insects crawling in the dark... There's a destructive roar.
-Spill out, the wrath of the Thundercrown!.
Divine Punishment <Rain of Fury>
The sky shakes and thunder and thunder pour down like rain..
Lightning struck as if it would cover the ground, washing away the black stains on the ground..
The mighty knight pours out heaven's wrath on the earth while leading a group of knights to break through the center of the monster..
"Break through the center!"
""honorary name!!""
It was a group of only 200 mounted horses. No matter how rationally you think about it, charging head-on into a colony of monster spiders in a wedge shape is close to a suicidal charge..
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!
The surprise of the two transcendental raids was momentary, but then hundreds of monster spiders filled the space with darkness, trying to swallow up the fearlessly approaching light..
If you just calculate the mass, it's hundreds of times larger. But the moment of clash──
Legion Formation <Wedge Charge>
Quang!
monsters flew in the sky.
Even with an impossible amount of impact and an overwhelming mass, it bounces away..
The wedge-shaped assault formation instantly penetrated the tidal wave of monsters as if they were going to pierce everything in front of them..
-Kiyi……
-Kyaaaaaak!
The spider monsters become cautious in the face of the knights' overwhelming combat power. While they were hesitating, the knights arrived right in front of them..
"I came here after feeling the energy of powerful holy power, but these are faces I've never seen before.."
A man in golden armor stood before them..
"My name is Gillingham Ulan, the Holy Grail Knight of Ultima, the god of sky and thunder. You guys…."
He looked around at Yappy and the half-dead Beatrice, then turned his nose around..
"Let’s get out of this place for now. The lightning will soon stop."
"Ah, yes!"
-Kikluk! strategic retreat.
The path we passed through was soon filled with monster spiders, but they were not much of a hindrance to the Holy Grail Knight of Thunder..
Ulan's thunderstorm struck, and Yapi's wire cut down the monster spiders. They were eventually able to break through the monster spiders..
* * * *
After ensuring safety, Grail Knight Gillingham asked a question..
"I witnessed the holy power and saved it, but what on earth are you? especially……."
Gillingham's eyes turned to Yappy. The fuselage of the eight-legged tank made the knights even suspect that it might be one of the monsters..
No, even though it is natural to regard them as monsters, the knights do not look at them with hostility..
"Knight of iron and blacksmithing. I sense a holy power in you that is comparable to Mine Guardian Lord Antok.."
-Kikluk!
"Sir Antok will be fine.……."
"We are people from the border of the kingdom.."
It was Beatrice who opened her mouth..
"Lady, are you feeling okay??"
"Thanks for your concern. Rather… What is the situation in the kingdom??"
Beatrice was surrounded by ‘evil spiders’. And I made a rough guess that a person calling himself the Holy Grail Knight had appeared..
This is the Lionheart Kingdom and demons have invaded..
"I ran because I was worried about the kingdom, but I was delayed because of the demons. Lord Gillingham, could you tell me the situation??"
"hmm… It wasn't my consideration. Since the disappearance of Lord Vulcan and the Prince of Violence in the Battle of Landolce Plain, the kingdom has been pushed back by them.."
Beatrice was able to easily hear about the situation here from Gillingham..
It is thanks to the fact that he has powerful holy power and is armed with star iron weapons, the symbol of the Lionheart Knight, so he is not suspected..
To summarize the situation:.
This is the world of Leon, where the invasion of demons is underway..
The empire has already fallen, and the royal capital, the heart of the kingdom, has been occupied..
The Lionheart King gathered all the remaining soldiers of the empire and other races such as elves, treemen, and dwarves to form a united front..
Even the fact that the Knights of the Holy Grail are being dispatched to various parts of the kingdom to gather survivors..
"Queen... Beatrice……."
Hari asked worriedly, changing Beatrice's title..
"Yes, I guess the situation is more serious than we thought.."
It's definitely true. At this gate, a great battle awaits Leon, his final battle with the devils..
How long did it run like that? Although surprised by the scope of the gate, which was larger than expected, the group arrived at the place Gillingham had wanted to guide them..
"Wow……."
Everyone was surprised to see it..
A fertile plain bordered by a river. There was a huge military camp there… No, there was one city.
On one side, a golden wheat field grows, a giant tree man moves materials, and on a watchtower there are pointy ears that watch the surroundings with sharp eyes..
An endless number of soldiers and knights. They filled the military camp on a scale they never dared imagine..
"oh my god……."
"Me, those people are all knights?"
Hari and the others know what the Knights of Lionheart are..
Right now, they were at a level that surpassed most top level hunters..
Even the soldiers of Lionheart were extraordinary beings..
And its center. There is an endlessly high altar in the center of the city. A huge temple that stands tall like a pyramid.
Gillingham said.
"The last sacred place of mankind. Welcome to the pantheon.."
The most important facility of the Lionheart Kingdom along with the royal capital..
where the gods reside.
There is a lion-hearted king over there..
