Chapter 137
137Tuesday's final battle(1)
center of the pantheon.
Dozens of wise men walked here, the city's closest place to the sky..
"Wise men of the forest. The extraction ritual is ready."
The great saint Agnak welcomes the wise men of the forest. Yapi walks in front of her and places a glass of some kind..
It resembled the ‘Holy Grail’ that the Holy Grail Knight Antok refined until the very last moment of his life..
"The Holy Grail Knight made it right.."
One of the wise men of the forest was amazed when he saw the Holy Grail made from a fragment of the moon. Gunlar answers as if it were obvious..
"He is a friend who handles iron better than anyone else. Now that he's done his part, it's our turn.."
"I know, young tree."
"We will do our part."
"Now, everyone who remains must do their part.."
The eyes of the wise men of the forest are Beatrice and Yapi. And he stares at Han Hari and his companions..
Beatrice spoke first..
"Sir Yappy and I will support the front line and take as much time as possible. Ms. Hari and the rest…."
"I will carry on the inheritance of the holy things. And then……."
-Gather around the promise point. This group will join after securing the Holy Grail of the Moon, which contains the essence..
Their role is not to change the history of this gate and lead it to victory..
It was a task that no other being could accomplish, and they were only supporting actors, not the main characters..
"We'll just leave now. Anyak Daeseongnyeo……."
Agnac responded to Beatrice’s gaze with a benevolent smile..
"May the gods bless you."
With those words, Gunlar said while looking at the people going down the temple..
"Daeseongnyeo. You know, when we're done with it all……."
"In order to complete the essence to be contained in the new Holy Grail, divinity must descend.."
"Leon cannot do this because he commands the front lines. So you have to take on that role.."
Agnak laughs and says at Gunlar’s words..
"It is her natural role as a great saint of light and justice. If only we could prepare for the future like this... It's meaningful enough.."
Daeseongnyeo Aggnac Protaxia.
She did not live a life of glorious battles and honorable chivalry like the knights..
For a long time, he lived only in temples, reading scriptures and teaching sermons. It's the same even after the great war against the devil begins..
She always prayed and waited for the bodies of the fallen..
So many sad deaths.
He comforted the countless lives that had been destroyed and lamented that what he could do was not as good as the knights..
Therefore, I am relieved to know that I have a role to play in this final war..
I am glad that I can take the place of the Lionheart King..
"May the blessings of light and justice be with Him.."
For the king who will fight a very harsh battle in the future..
The saint prayed.
* * * *
It was an endless army of destruction..
An endless army of evil that spreads beyond the horizon.
The evil sects built a degrading temple on the burned ashes and insulted the traces of civilization..
Empires collapsed, many kingdoms fell,,
The runelords of Iron Mountain and the guardians of the forest also fell..
country of chivalry.
Kingdom of Knights, Lionheart.
Even the land of the lion-hearted guardians now had only the last stronghold left..
Leon watched forlornly as the world seemed at risk of being torn apart like a tattered wineskin..
"your majesty.."
"Is it Lord Arenne?."
A young knight approaches. Even after hearing of his father's death, he remains faithful to his mission and his youthful appearance remains in his friend's son who has just returned..
"Be proud, Arenne. Your father died honorably and went to the banquet hall of the gods.."
"yes……."
We see soldiers and knights comforting the dead father's son and looking at Leon. It was a sin for them..
Beatrice and Yacht Spinner. Han Ha-ri and Han Su-ho. Jaehyuk Kim and Soyeon Cheon.
The last of the kingdom they delivered. The past, which can never be overturned, was predicting the end of the world..
End of an era of glory and fame.
The inevitable apocalypse will happen again.
Leon stared at the gathered soldiers with a heavy heart..
What captivated their ears was the pounding of the ground caused by the sound of the enemy's advance, and what filled their eyes were mixed emotions..
Fear, fear, helplessness, hopelessness.
Ah, goddess.
Lord of the Holy Grail, who gave this lacking creature the lion's heart and set a brilliant light on the holy sword..
Here are your lambs, fearful and trembling..
Women swallow their tears while comforting a crying child,
Young people are trying hard to keep the dying embers of resistance in their hands.,
The knights try to leave seeds of hope even in the blood-soaked wilderness..
But you, master of the Holy Sword, the Holy Spear, and the Holy Grail,.
I know that your first knight will not stop the evil that stretches beyond the horizon..
Goddess.
My goddess. What should this foolish knight do?.
『Do as you wish』
"……."
『My knight. My dear honorable knight. Your goddess will be with my knight until the end..』
Leon made up his mind..
He died at the age of twenty and was reincarnated in another world..
He lived as a knight and king for over a hundred years..
Even though the end was the end, his life was full of honor and glory..
This life was not meaningless.
"Listen, all you honorable ones."
All eyes in the fortress were focused in breathtaking silence..
The humans of the kingdom and empire, the elves, the dwarves, the lizardmen with reptile scales, the treemen entangled in tree trunks, and even the fairies who whimper and lift a kitchen knife..
At this moment, for this one moment, I only gazed at the Lionheart King. stared in silence.
"…………."
However, the longer the silence lasted, the sound of the ground pounding clearly hit my ears and engraved in my mind the meaningless forces of evil once again..
Knowing that fear abounded among them, Leon waited until they were fully aware of it..
Because they have to choose amidst fear and terror..
"Can you see it??"
It was a whispering voice, as if he had never screamed before, but there was no one who couldn't hear it..
"yes, i see it."
All they see in their eyes is despair.
It was an inevitable end,
It was chaos with no distinction between friends and foes.,
It was a destruction that would plunge everything into the abyss..
They are rapists. An evil that does not stop humiliating even on the ashes left after killing, destroying and burning..
The earth tremors caused by the evil of the infinite great tree that stretched beyond the horizon drowned out both the murmur and Leon's voice..
The moment they are completely desperate. Leon rode up and showed his face to the soldiers who were looking at them..
"Can you hear the sounds of those evil species trying to ravage everything we have?."
Leon shouted at the young knight..
"Be angry!"
"your majesty……."
"Be angry! Knight Arenne! Son of the glorious Iron Grail Knight Antok and the honorable knight who defeated the Big Horned Giant of Mirkwood Forest.!"
Be angry!
"Gildus, the hero of the Plains of Pelor, and his son Galveron! Be angry!"
"Silver lions of the empire who protected citizens from the endless forces of evil! Be angry!"
"Noble elven rangers who protect the oak forest! Be angry!"
"Cheolsan Armor Breakers who stood against the fire-breathing dragon! Be angry!"
"All honorable people of this age! How can you not be angry? How do you accept insults?!"
""……?""
Leon did not stop the laughter and contemptuous sneer from flowing from his mouth..
"Look at those beings of disorderly chaos.!"
"Be angry at those arrogant idiots who have fallen into the illusion of victory! be infinitely angry!!"
"They are afraid of us.."
"Afraid of our spears and swords."
"Afraid of our strong will."
"Look at the men of honor gathered on this wall!!"
Soldiers and knights standing on the wall. All the survivors looked at each other..
Those who separated the border and only knew each other through news realize that they have united under the banner of the Lionheart King..
"They have unreasonable beliefs.. "
"Our courage will fail, we will abandon our brothers, we will destroy our dignity.."
"Despairing, exhausted from fear, obsessed with fear, waiting for the wolves to strike.."
"But my brothers and sisters. Will we submit to trials today?? "
"Even if life abandons us, will we destroy our own dignity??"
"Even though the seekers of evil cry out for destruction, will our honor be ruined?!""
"no! never!"
"Our purity is unsullied by their dishonor, our honor surpasses their infamy.!"
Leon drew his sword with his right hand and held the chalice with his left..
A sacred relic of the goddess that has been with Lionheart since the founding king. The brilliant light from that great holy relic enveloped them as warmly as a bonfire in a fireplace..
"who am i!"
Dozens of people answered without hesitation. Tens of thousands of people were unable to answer. Lord Leon's booming voice spread through the crowd as much as the voices they could not make..
"Gillingham… ! who am i!"
Gillingham, the Holy Grail Knight of Sky and Thunder, answered this question:.
"He is a living demigod who represents the will of the pantheon and is the guardian of the Holy Grail.!"
"Loxley… ! who am i!"
Loxley, the Holy Grail Knight of the Sun and Judgment, responded to this..
"He is the Lionheart King of Lionheart who beheaded Malus, the Lord of Chaos.!"
"I am the First Knight of the Goddess, the Lionheart King of Lionheart, and your brother in the last stronghold of mankind.!!"
The fear in the crowd's eyes began to dissipate. The Grail Guardian did not lose momentum..
"Winter is coming brothers."
"However, do not tremble. Face the last winter with confidence."
"Our sword and shield are pieces of firewood from a harsh winter.."
"Burn firewood endlessly until the last ember goes out. Burn the final flame!"
"Today we fight here."
"This will be their grave, and over their graves we will erect our tombstones.."
"No other honor or glory can compare to this.!"
"I make a earnest request to my brothers and sisters. will you join me!""
The soldiers' shouts rivaled the pounding of the ground. But Lord Leon was not satisfied..
"Will you fight with me?!!"
-WHAAAAAAAAAAAA────!!!!
-WHAAAAAAAAAAAA────!!!!
-WHAAAAAAAAAAAA────!!!!
A thunderous roar overtook the tremors of the ground..
"Heroes of the world!"
"Have each other's backs!"
"Build an honorable path!"
"I, Leon Dragonia Lionheart, will become your sword and shield.!"
"I command you to fight until the end! Honorable knights!!"
""Lord Lionheart! Lord Lionheart!!""
Humanity's final struggle has begun.
[Quest: Survive until the final stand.]
