Chapter 156

156Knights of the Burning Sword of Hwabaltan

In the great war against Lionheart, the demons suffered terrible losses..

Among them, the ones that suffered the most were the demons of slaughter and destruction, wisdom and exploration, pleasure and corruption, and chaos and destruction who lost their monarch..

In particular, the demons of wisdom and quest lost most of their highest-ranking archdemons, including the archduke, in an all-out war with the kingdom's army..

In that war, every demon lost a monarch or archduke. Among them, the great demons of sloth and stupidity are in a more delicate situation..

They lost neither a monarch nor a prince. I didn't exactly lose it.

"Mr. Bellotas…!"

An observation base in front of the territory of Kadsha, the demon prince of sloth and foolishness. The Great Demon of Sloth, who is the head of the place and observes the ice continent, opened his eyes to the urgent report of ice observer Veltata..

"say……."

Velotas moves its bloated torso while digging out earwax. Like the great devil of sloth, he stared at Beltata with a bored expression on his face..

This Glacier Continent Observation Base is a base for killing time for devils who are born indolent and lazy..

This is because it is the nominal base to protect the seal after the demon Grand Duke Kadsha of Sloth and Idiot annihilated them here about 200 years ago..

Although it has become a barren land where not even demons can live after the incident over 200 years ago, who could act on the glacial continent in the middle of the Demon World??

Of course, the devils are a group of people who don't trust each other, but what's inside is like the devil's natural enemy..

It's like a radioactive mass that destroys all demons, but who would use it?──

"Energy has been observed inside the ice continent! It is the 0th element of destruction.!"

"Hmm…!"

Velotas, which had been slow to react, rarely moved its enlarged body..

"Has the seal been broken??"

"Well, I don’t think so! Because Mr. Cardsha’s magic reaction has not yet awakened.!"

That was fortunate. It wouldn't be the worst if the Ice Prince buried with him didn't wake up..

"Has Kadsha’s magic loosened?."

It has been over 200 years since Grand Duke Khadsha of the Glacier unleashed the great magic that froze the continent..

The Demons of Wisdom and Exploration theoretically said that the seal would last for a thousand years, but how can it be that the seal has already begun to be released?!

"Wow, this is a big deal. That man... If that monster is released…!"

That day is recreated.

A day of terrible slaughter.

By the man who fell from the sky with sparks──

"You lead the special forces first. I will head straight with the troops I can mobilize.."

massacre.

Belotas clutched the burn on his side and remembered the trauma..

* * * *

"These are the Holy Grail Knights.."

"Baltan Order of the Burning Sword. They must be them.."

Leon thrust the flame of his holy spear into the ice wall..

"I'm going to rescue them from now on.."

The flame of divinity does not harm the believers of divinity. The only thing the flame melts is the block of ice that trapped him..

-Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

A huge amount of steam is released and the ice wall melts. The knight fell off the cracking ice wall..

-thud!

The knight and horse land narrowly before being thrown to the floor, before Leon catches them. A truly instinctive movement. It was a few seconds later that he came to his senses..

"Inhale…!"

The helmet is great! As he climbs up, his gaze flashes. The knight swung his sword in an instant..

"You evil tumor that will tear you apart and kill you! die!!"

"your majesty!"

Leon's holy sword blocks the sword swung by the knight. The knight widened his eyes..

"lung, majesty?!"

"I'm glad you seem healthy.."

"your majesty!"

The red knight kneels down in horror at the fact that the person he swung his sword at was Leon..

"Yes, Jim is Lionheart King Leon Dragonia Lionheart.."

"yes… ! Baltan Burning Sword Knights' Third Sword Raihar Dever comes!"

"Lord Raihar. Do you know your current condition? How much do you remember?"

"Mmm…."

Raihar recalled his memory for a moment and then revealed the latest information he remembered..

"We fought the Prince of Glacier and his legions on the Landolce Plain, then opened the Demon Gate and chased the man who escaped.!"

The time was more than two hundred years ago, when Vulcan's legion and the Glacier Duke's legion clashed on the Plain of Landolce..

Vulcan and the knights, who ultimately won the battle, chased the fleeing Archduke inside the Demon Gate to finish him off, and while slaughtering the demons there, his memory was cut off at some point..

"Lord Raihar. I have something to ask."

"……It's a great dream and the sacred power of death. Who are you Lady??"

"This is Beatrice Alighieri Spero, queen of the Kingdom of Spero and the priest of dreams and death of the time.."

"Kingdom of Spero?"

Raihar tilted his head at the name of a kingdom he had never heard of before and received Leon's gaze and showed the most polite manners..

"Did you speak to the Queen? Moreover, she is also a saint, so she is a noble person who is full of propriety.."

After Raihar bowed politely, Beatrice finally asked a question..

"When Kyung arrived in this land, was it a land full of ice like this??"

"no. It was a barren land, but it wasn't a glacier like this.."

"okay."

"What did you find out? Bice?"

In response to Leon's question, Beatrice shared her hypothesis..

"It seems that this continent was artificially created by the devil. Lord Vulcan and the knights seem to have been caught up in it and frozen.."

"hmm… Does it seem like a monarch-level devil is involved??"

"If a devil of that caliber had intervened, he would have rather chosen to defeat Lord Vulcan. But if you are a glacier……."

"I see. When he lost his strength, did he freeze space and time on this entire continent?."

I don't think it would be impossible if the Great Supply Devil gave up everything to try..

"This world is their world. A land made of pure magical power that does not need to be polluted with magical energy. They could at least work a miracle here. And maybe… The Grand Duke of Glacier is probably still alive too.."

In other words, if you continue to melt the ice wall where the knights are buried, you may encounter the Great Glacier..

"No problem. If I was afraid of that, I wouldn't have come here like this.."

────!!

At that moment, a unique sound of the space shaking is heard. No one knew that it was a precursor to the Gate Summoning..

"Your majesty, they are demons.."

Beatrice pointed to them. About five hundred meters from the ice wall. Hundreds of demons poured out from the open gate there..

"Did they notice too?."

"It arrived sooner than expected. Was there a base that constantly monitored this place??"

Beatrice felt embarrassed..

She cannot currently use magic. Because to open her gate in this frigid land that freezes even her time and space, she must pour out her own magic power..

'Your Majesty must also melt the ice wall and rescue the Knights and Lord Vulcan. Then what to believe…….'

Raihar Dever. There is only one person who is a member of the Baltan Burning Sword Order..

"Lord Raihar!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Hold on for one minute."

To Beatrice, it was no different from a suicide order. The number of enemies is just a few hundred. The power difference is overwhelming.

"Myung, I will support you.."

However, the knight simply changed his helmet and headed to the front. He took his sword and shield and left the two men behind..

"your majesty……."

"Trust and watch."

With those words, Leon headed towards the ice wall. Meanwhile, the demons laid out threats against Raihar..

Demons are surprisingly wary of high firepower..

Their weapons are not a technology that modern Earth can compare to, and magic is a technology they master..

As magic science develops naturally, magic weapons used by even the lowest-level demons can defeat even giants..

-Ready for launch!

-three! two! one! Power shooting begins!

The first thing that was shot was a giant horse gun dragged by sloth demons. These magic bullets, which are fired by consuming magic stones, could tear apart modern Earth's battleships with a single blow..

-Boom!

The shell draws a parabola with a dizzying roar. Demonstration shooting to achieve zero point. However, perhaps thanks to the gunner's skill, the magic bullet headed straight towards Senior Engineer Raihar..

"With toys like this……."

He waved his hand as if he was annoyed. Her fist, swung with her bare body, accurately struck the flying magic bullet..

-Gang!

The bounced magic bullet gets stuck in the ice wall. The ice wall, which could never be broken by the power of the magic bullet alone, was dug in like a stone with the added force of his strike..

-flag, knight…….

Those who have proven themselves by walking the path of eccentricity and become Knights of the Realm.

Among those with amazing strength and mobility as well as holy skills, only a handful of veterans become members of the Holy Grail Knights..

"Should I return the favor?."

Raihar holding a fallen piece of ice. His arms are extended like a baseball player pitching..

-Quang!

An ice sling thrown with bare hands cuts through the air, spinning hundreds of meters in vain..

It pierced through the demons' phalanx at once, digging in a straight line, and stopped only after shattering the gunpowder..

-crazy…….

knights of the holy grail.

Member of the superhuman army chosen by the Holy Grail Knight.

They are the standard that defines ‘strength’.

-Come on, charge.!

Demons rush in at once.

"Baltan Burning Sword Knight's Third Sword."

The sword is pulled out of the Red Knight's scabbard. His star iron sword is bright red, as if it were compressed from scorching flames..

"Raihar Dever. Balgeom."

At that moment, a burning whirlwind struck the star iron sword..

* * * *

Leaving the rest to a knight, Leon looked at the ice wall..

The ice wall is huge and solid. To the extent that there is no way to effectively dissolve this unless it is a holy law..

"Should I melt it all at once?."

Leon had a way to melt this ice wall. But the problem is next.

'If that happens, there will be waves that you can't handle..'

It's an ice wall like this. If it melts all at once, waves equivalent to a tsunami will hit everywhere..

Even if Lord Raihar can hold out, Beatrice, who has all her magic power to open the gate, will be swept away by the waves..

'It is possible to control melted water by using the wave method..'

The problem is that if you use a great method to melt an ice wall this size, and then use a sacred method to control the melted water, there is no room for it..

You can do it, but you have no choice but to be cautious since you can't waste your holy power as recklessly as you used to..

"No, aren't there people you can trust?."

Leon knows who the people in here are. He said that whatever he can do, they can do too..

"Holy sword."

In subspace, the holy sword sleeping in its scabbard appears..

Just by summoning the holy sword, a huge amount of holy power was consumed and it arrived in front of Leon..

A holy sword drawn from the scabbard of the first Lionheart King. Focus the holy power on that sword..

The flame of Fethos is forged, and the polar light of the holy sword shines everywhere. There is only one thing he wants from the Holy Sword.

Cut down all the winter before me.

The burning pillar of fire was swung as it was..

The aircraft falls towards an ice wall with the contradiction of carrying a heavy weight..

────■■■■■■■■!!

The ice wall that collided with the pillar of fire collapsed..

The water vapor that evaporated as it melted rose out as steam. and──

-Quaaaaa!!!

Water that has not yet evaporated pours down like waves. This will sweep not only the demons but also our allies..

"Should I stop at this point?."

Leon, who stored the holy sword in subspace, used the power of the sea and waves as it was..

Seongbeop <Waving>

The enormous mass that seemed like it would turn the entire area into a sea of ​​water at any moment came to a halt. As Leon used the power of waves, he unnaturally stopped in midair..

Some people might think that's foolish.

If you sacrifice one ally, you could sweep away hundreds or thousands of demons, but why bother wasting your strength to block the waves??

But Leon's gaze is directed beyond the stopped waves..

-Shut up! Compactly!

Beyond the waves. In the center filled with tens of thousands of tons of water, the impossible sound of horses' hooves can be heard..

"Baltan Burning Sword Knights."

The Lionheart King gave an order to those who were in trouble after breaking free from the seal of over 200 years..

"Destroy the enemy."

The knights responded without hesitation..

""atrocity!""

""cruelty!""

""cruel!""

He creates flames with his breath, leaving a horseshoe-shaped flame in his place..

""a merciless death…!!""

The knights who escaped from the long-time seal.

The riders of the God of War, forged in flames, resumed the battle that was left unfinished two hundred years ago..
