Chapter 223

< Koo Dae-seong(2) >

-Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Tinnitus makes my head explode.

"Ugh, what, what happened?······."

I remember something falling from the sky. The moment I was caught in the explosion, I thought I heard a familiar young man's voice.──

"Suho···!"

The familiar voice of a female knight. Koo Dae-seong barely realized that the owner of that voice was Han Ha-ri..

"Thanks to you, I survived."

"Ugh... if it weren't for the power of the holy things, we would all have died.."

Suho stood up, pointing to the ground with his shining shield. The Lionheart Holy Grail Knight’s holy relic boasts absolute defense..

And that defense was possible as a wide-area defense that covered not only oneself but also the unit, and thanks to this, he was able to survive the magic bombardment of the Great Devil..

"Thanks to you... I survived."

"Mr. Koo Dae-seong!"

Hari and Suho recognized Koo Dae-seong and approached him. It's been a while since we last saw each other, but the situation is urgent for that to happen..

"Yes, that's right. Captain Kim Do-han! Is everyone okay?!"

"Ugh... W, I'm alive here."

"I think my ears have gone crazy······."

Men at Arms are rising one by one. Koo Dae-seong was relieved that they were safe, but his expression soon became distorted..

"Ugh, ugh.···!"

"My, my legs. my legs!"

The Guardian's Shield was a shield of great power, but it was not strong enough to cover the entire unit..

"Ugh···!"

Colleagues who were lagging behind the most were bombed. there······.

'My back is broken! isolated!'

The Great Devil's bombing magic split the waist of the Naju Knights and the reinforcements. Some were to avoid the bombing magic, others were due to the intrusion of monsters... The troops were split into small pieces and isolated on this highway..

'Aiming for individual destruction within this short period of time?'

Is it the enemy's command power? They are not just beasts in numbers. There was probably command and control from a high-ranking devil..

"Take care of the injured! It's coming again!"

Monsters flocking towards the divided unit. North Korean soldiers and Men at Arms, who were lying wounded, were the first to be hunted..

"Captain Kim!"

Koo Dae-seong grabbed his shield and rushed to save his allies. Sigh! He blocked the teeth that were trying to eat his companions, but he could only save one or two people..

-Kwasik!

"Wow!"

A colleague who was barely able to get himself together is bitten by the jaws of a huge monster and disappears..

"Ugh, ugh.······."

A young North Korean soldier crouching and trembling, overwhelmed by the curse of chaos, did not recognize the footprints of a large demon looming over him and was trampled to death..

"Koo Dae-seong! Please step back first.!"

Kim Jae-hyuk defeated the demon with a powerful blow, dropping thunder. But that didn't last long either. The devil swung at him and cut himself with his claws..

"Ugh! This idiot!"

Cheon So-yeon jumped in and cut off the devil who was trying to inflict additional blows with the Seongmai sword. But soon a projectile fired from her blind spot hit her shoulder, and it was a poisonous stinger..

"I'll buy time!"

Han Ha-ri greatly increased her sexual power. Her fire combines with the power of the sea god to become a wave of flame that sweeps the battlefield..

As soon as it touches, the monsters' bodies turn to ash and disappear. Truly overwhelming firepower. But even that is only a momentary gain of time..

"You, there are too many.···!"

Monsters that quickly fill the empty space. Just as she was about to thrust her sex skills again, a chilling sensation overtook her..

"ah."

Short terminal. Her magic bullets that snipe at her Hari kill her..

"older sister!"

Suho hurriedly protects her. But Hari, who had already allowed dozens of attacks from her, was bleeding profusely from her..

This is because they were so focused on wiping out the incoming enemies that they did not pay attention to long-distance protection techniques. The reason she survived was because her armor made entirely of star iron prevented her from being fatally wounded..

[Are these new articles?.]

"······!"

A sharp blade attacks the back of Su-ho, who is supporting Hari. Su-ho raises his shield late, but the blade penetrates the gap and cuts through his thigh and waist..

"Ugh···!"

"guardian army!"

Koo Dae-seong rushed to help him. but──

[What are you?.]

Damn, I said.

Koo Dae-seong made a creepy sound and absentmindedly tried to touch the blood splattered on his face..

"Goo, Goo Dae-seong!"

Suho’s urgent voice. Koo Dae-seong looked at his shield rolling on the floor and looked puzzled..

'Why is the shield over there?······.'

Why is there a shield tightly tied to my left arm?──

"Avoid it!"

-Kaang!

The sound of metal colliding makes my ears ring. He realizes that it is an image of a sword wielded by a large demon over 2 meters tall colliding with the shield of protection surrounding him..

[I'm weak.]

The devil had six arms. And also six swords. The swords he swung blew away the two men through the protective shield..

"Hehehehe···!"

"······!!"

The Great Devil clicked his tongue as he watched the two people rolling on the floor awkwardly..

[Compared to those guys, I'm weak. you are not a real knight.]

An efficient battle that accurately shot and neutralized the four knights who were the core of the Naju Knights. This is the result less than a minute after the two great devils intervened in the battle..

[Lionheart's article is just like this. It's a disappointing ending.]

The great devil of pleasure and corruption. When he saw the old hunters wielding enormous greatswords and hundreds of swords in another direction, he drew attention to the two men and left to deal with them..

"Ugh···."

Koo Dae-seong tried to get up from the ground, but he stumbled and realized the absence..

"Man, your arm······."

"ah······."

Only then did Koo Dae-seong realize that the arm holding the shield had been amputated..

surprisingly.

There was no scream. I don't know if it's because of the excessive secretion of adrenaline, but the feeling that comes out of him now is a faint sigh of despair..

Koo Dae-seong saw nothing until the moment his arm was cut off. I was overwhelmed by the sword that was swung roughly as if it wasn't worth worrying about..

"Ah, uncle. Sister. First of all, stop the bleeding──"

Suho tied up his sister and Koo Dae-seong, who lost his arm, with bandages..

In the midst of the overwhelming despair, Koo Dae-seong, who had completed only the minimum number of kills, saw his colleagues fighting monsters..

"Protect the knights! For the shield!!"

Kim Do-han gritted his teeth and raised his shield. The shield extends from the left shoulder to the waist. The empty area is a group formation protected by the shields of colleagues..

They used what they were trained to survive.

"Ahhhhh!"

He holds up a shield and endures the heavy weight of medium-sized monsters..

A man-at-arms who lost his weapon in the aftermath of the bombing spell held on to his shield with both hands and tried to hold on somehow..

"Damn, I have too many enemies!"

"shield! More concentrated shield soldiers! Let's protect each other!"

"It's about protecting the knights.!"

They were desperate to protect the knights, the only hope in this situation. They had to protect the four knights who forcibly dug in to save them..

Because their value on this battlefield was far more important than hundreds of men-at-arms..

"The knights! When will the Cheongseong Guild and Shingeom Guild come to help?!"

Urgent sounds come from all over the place. Koo Dae-seong lifted the star iron sword that was still tightly held in his right arm..

"mister?"

"have to fight······."

"Your injuries are the worst! First, we need to step back and treat.!"

"······no."

Koo Dae-seong smiled bitterly and refused Su-ho's dissuasion. Clutching my abdomen, which seemed to be burning hot just a moment ago,.

"mister?! hurt···!"

It wasn't just the arm that was cut off. The great devil's magic sword tore even the star iron armor and cut down Koo Dae-seong..

If it weren't for the star armor, my body would have been cut in half..

"I can't live long... Suho, please take Miss Hari and step back.."

Death is certain. Not only is it impossible to return to the treatment center from this murky battlefield, but it is also questionable whether you can survive until you get there..

So Koo Dae-seong decided to do what he could..

-Kaang!

"Even more, I survived thanks to you! Gu, Mr. Gu?!"

Holding a sword with his remaining arm, he struck down the devil's sword that was trying to stab Kim Do-han. He was surprised to see Koo Dae-seong in such a miserable state, but Koo Dae-seong swung his sword at the devil without saying a word..

-Kikit!

However, the devil easily dodged Koo Dae-seong's sword, which was more like fluttering than swinging the sword. Rather, the sword that stabbed him in return tore the nape of his neck..

"Ugh···!"

Although blood spattered, Koo Dae-seong instinctively stabbed the sword. But as expected, the devil lightly defeated Koo Dae-seong's counterattack..

-Your skills are poor compared to your armor.!

I grit my teeth at the devil's taunts. Because it was true.

The devil cleverly tormented Koo Dae-seong among the monsters..

He hides at the feet of monsters that are flocking towards him and cuts off their ankles, while stabbing his colleague sitting next to him as if to keep an eye on him..

When Koo Dae-seong tried too hard to protect him, he changed the direction of his attack and cut him down as if he had never done so..

"Lower jaw... Lower jaw···!"

He takes a deep breath and grabs the back of his neck, which feels like it's being burned with a heated iron. Wielding a sword with only one arm and without a shield soon reached its limits..

'Are you going to die....'

He is not even a high-ranking devil, let alone a great devil. Demons with blades are so common that they can be seen at Demon Gate..

I was being toyed with by even that much of a devil..

Is there another article like this who is such an ordinary woman? I'm sick of my own helplessness..

[<Knight's Blessing of Life &gt; Continues to heal this damage.]

Contrary to the message on the system window, colleagues around me continue to fall. The accumulated damage could not be regenerated with nothing more than that kind of protection..

'It's over.'

Koo Dae-seong, D-rank for many years. He tried to encourage himself by saying that his efforts were no less than anyone else's, but his end ended without him being able to save even one of his colleagues' lives..

-stop dying now.

I see the dangling sword and hear the devil's laughter. But at the same time──

[A sword is not only a weapon to wield, but it is also the fastest piece of armor. Always keep your sword in a position to respond..]

The location is above the navel. Thanks to the voice that came to mind, I inadvertently raised my sword and was able to block the sword swung by the devil..

-Caen!

A clear and clean sound hits the ears where I used to hear tinnitus. Her numb arm trembled as she felt the shock..

[You look like me.]

"uh?"

A knight's voice continues to irritate my ears. No, is it a memory that came to mind from the night sky?.

Gu Da-seong suddenly, unconsciously, remembered the knight's leadership sparring and did not lower his sword from the center of his navel..

It somehow blocks the devil's sword with just that. Even if my arms are cut and torn and numb, I carry on with my life..

The moment I'm about to give up, I think of the man who comes to mind, and the man who gives a foolish and wise answer when asked why he doesn't give up..

[Because the challenge does not require evaluation from others..]

impossibility.

There's no reason why it should be excluded from the challenge..

"Aaaaaaaaaaa···!"

He, Koo Dae-seong, a D-class man in his later years, continued to burst out in meaningless nonsense. As if trying to burn one's will like this.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!!"

at that very moment──

'from now on.'

I don't know why I felt this way now. It felt like someone, the voice of a very caring and kind woman, was whispering in my ear..

'from now on.'

How reckless it would be to go forward in front of the tsunami of evil that has created so many oceans..

How can he pass through this tsunami head-on when he can't even properly block a sword swung by a mid-level demon?.

I no longer have a shield or the energy to swing a sword..

[Young knight. Young man. Do you know dragon??]

[Courage... you mean??]

[Or maybe it's bravery.]

[Or it could be love.]

[Or maybe it's hope.]

Nogu's attendant speaks with a smile to the hesitating self..

[A knight is someone who wields courage. It's resounding bravery, it's unbreakable hope, it's pure love..]

[The Holy Grail Knight is the pinnacle of such bravery. It's a symbol of courage.]

[Do you think the Holy Grail Knight has courage??]

As he was about to answer that question, of course... he was the second son of Jordic Bertum. Liona A member of the Knights of the Sunset. The man who eventually became the first knight to serve dreams and death spoke..

[No one is born with courage from the beginning. It cannot be owned, it is not given, it cannot be acquired..]

With a firm gaze. A fool from the past who had never experienced success spoke with such a firm gaze..

[Bravery is something that comes into play..]

So.

[Young knight. When you pray to be a man of strength, will the gods grant you strength? Or... will he give me a chance to show off my bravery??]

'from now on.'

"from now on."

One step. from now on.

"Mr. Gu?!"

-?!!

Koo Dae-seong's sudden behavior attracts the attention of both enemies and enemies..

A collapsing phalanx. As he moves forward into a tidal wave full of malice, he does crazy things without even having to think about it..

Koo Dae-seong himself knows this..

Beom- jae, who was a D-class player for his later years, lags behind others and remains a knight-errant even after becoming a knight..

I am taking one reckless step towards the enemy formation that even proper kingdom knights cannot penetrate..

'from now on.'

Guided by a woman's voice, I took a very reckless step..

-You're crazy! die!

The devil, who was watching him while enjoying toying with him as he was weak, swung his sword sharply. Koo Dae-seong knew that he could not move forward as long as the devil existed..

so.

took another step forward.

-······?!

Keep your distance and take a step forward instead of defending against the swung sword. The devil was surprised by Koo Dae-seong's unexpected behavior and swung his sword..

The slashed sword cuts off his ear and knocks away his star iron armor. One of his ears was cut off, but at that moment the demon stiffened from the impact of hitting the hard armor.──

"Get out of the way."

It hinders me from moving forward..

-Ugh!

A star iron sword that pierces the heart of the devil. The devil sighs and falls down..

However, defeating just one demon cannot stop the tsunami. Koo Dae-seong looked at the wave of malice that would soon come towards him. And once again a woman's voice is heard..

'Just a little more.'

Guided by the woman’s voice, I take another step.

With this, a humble man named Koo Dae-seong left his footprints on the threshold of death..

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

-You idiot! Kill it!

The moment when hundreds and thousands of malicious intentions are about to attack Koo Dae-seong..

'Well done my child..'

With a proud and benevolent voice... it fell..

-thud!

"······!"

-······!?

It suddenly fell from the sky. Even in the murky battlefield, its appearance was so unexpected that everyone stopped and looked at it..

It was in the shape of a hammer.

A warhammer suitable for swinging with one hand..

However, it is so thick and large that it would be awkward unless you were a fairly large person..

"Crab, Lord Geobrick's Hammer?!"

Grail Knight Geobrick's One-Handed Hammer.

An epic item that transforms the Naju pantheon into a sanctuary..

The hammer's presence was so powerful that it made his enemies think the same thing..

Don't let me hold that thing.

-Just like that!

-Woooooooo!

Everyone came to mind, whether it was demons with reason, monsters without reason, and mutants of the North Korean army..

The moment that thing is grasped, something scary will happen..

"ah···."

However, unlike their desperate cries, the closest person to the hammer was Koo Dae-seong, who took all the recklessness and disadvantages and took 'one step' 'forward'..

-Chak!

The moment the handle of the hammer was held in his free arm······.

"Uh oh?!"

"Yes, I heard it?!"

A vast green light broke through the asphalt from underneath the ground along with a flashing hammer..

It rose from the earth, wrapped around a knight, ascended through the sky, and made its presence known throughout the planet..

[System message: The protection of Koo Dae-seong, the Holy Grail Knight of Life and Abundance, applies to the entire corps..]

A new Holy Grail Knight has been born in the world..
