Chapter 263
Lionheart vs Orc (9)
-bang! Kwaang!
A building collapses when you hit a hammer, and a crater dents when you kick..
The existence of the city is collapsing in real time in front of the enormous violence wielded by the Holy Grail Knight of Life and Abundance..
'It's strong. I heard you're a rookie as a Holy Grail Knight..'
At first, the Mag'har thought little of this new Grail Knight..
Just as the Orc Champions are legendary warriors throughout history, the Holy Grail Knights are also superhumans who represent the times..
Their awakening was formed through long training and quests, and that is why they knew that one Holy Grail Knight would reign as the saint of the kingdom for a long time..
That's what a Holy Grail Knight is like..
A hero recognized even by God after proving his long practice and discipline..
Rather than being at the level of a hero of the era, ordinary peasants, generation after generation, say that the main character in a story they might have seen in their great-great-grandfather's childhood fairy tale book is a saint who is still alive in that era..
Therefore, the Holy Grail Knights are regarded as representatives of God by the farmers, and to the knights, they are in a far higher position and are the knights of knights..
Such a being will appear in just one or two years? Mag'har shook his head..
The existence of a Holy Grail Knight cannot appear so easily. This guy became a Holy Grail Knight through expedient means..
There is no way he can be the same as his archenemy against whom his ancestors fought fiercely..
"immature!"
The broken buildings and the remains of the buildings come together. Heaps of trash poured down on Koo Dae-seong..
"Inhale···!"
Koo Dae-seong avoids it by running through the city on bare legs. I tried to break through with overwhelming defense power, but it is not easy to break through when thousands of tons of scrap metal are blocking the path..
The numerous pieces of scrap metal that the Maghar use to move through golem combinations make you feel as if the gravity of this world has been reversed..
"Annoying···!"
A hammer that blows it away in one fell swoop. This great holy relic left behind by the Holy Grail Knight Geobrick concentrates the user's holy power and transforms it into enormous destructive power..
Boom! Thousands of tons of scrap metal scattered in an instant. Although Gu Dae-seong had barely secured the advance route,──
-Gooooo···!
'coming!'
And beyond the view obscured by a pile of scrap metal. An eerie ray of light pours down.
Gokrok's Tower. The ray of destruction that shoots from that sad gaze strikes Koo Dae-seong. He doesn't have the dexterity to avoid this ray..
"shit!"
Block again with the Earth Shield. To withstand the destruction ray that melts when it touches you with infinite vitality..
"Ms. Soyeon!"
"Don't mess up the angle!"
While Gu Dae-seong holds on, the holy sword containing the holy power of light scatters the intensity of the light..
A leader-level knight who can control the properties of light that comes from the limitations of rays and withstand the firepower that melts flesh just by approaching... Only Cheon So-yeon can offset this attack..
"Jaehyuk Kim!"
"I'm preparing!"
Holy Law <Ultima's Wrath>
The lightning guided by the Spear of Thunder, a holy relic left behind by the Grail Knight, fell precisely towards the Mag'har..
-Qarring! Kwakwang!
A spectacular explosion lights up the sky above the city. But everyone sensed that wasn't the end..
────!!
something rising from the ground.
Something huge is about to be completed with an earthquake-like sound..
"Uh, uhh···!"
Kim Jae-hyuk tries to stop it before it is completed by pouring out holy laws. But even the successive lightning strikes cannot stop its completion..
"It's already too late, fakes! See the feasts of Mag'har, the Great Shaman of the Orcs who follows in the footsteps of the Master.!"
Crumbling city concrete floor.
It is so heavy that it swallows buildings and their remains, revealing a massive monster..
"Oh, that's at Shanhaiguan···!"
The knights in perplexity and confusion are astonished and bring back memories..
A super giant golem created by combining numerous large rock faces at Shanhaiguan. The construction design is certainly no different from that, but it is even bigger and more distant....
[See, this is my season. You will be trampled like insects in front of this greatness.!]
The giant that piles up crushed asphalt roads and even cars like shoes is truly a monster..
The deification of a city that makes you wonder if such a large figure existed even in the mythical era..
Considering that orcs' golems are basically made from large and heavy objects that are noticeable around them, modern cities may be places where materials are easier to supply than the front lines..
Moreover, if it is Gokrok's champion Mag'har, then as its representative, the main force is inexhaustible..
Regardless of creativity in the sense that it creates a huge building golem, its destructive power is absolute..
Because being big in itself means violence..
"This is not a heavyweight level show.?!"
"Avoid the time to discuss such things!"
The giant building golem raises its fist. A strange phenomenon in which a heavy weight creates a storm just by being swung. The moment it hits, a shock wave is spread that can destroy a fairly large army..
"Big···!"
Human- sized objects are easily thrown away by the shock wave. Although it is not the physical strength that can lead to damage, the fact that it is difficult to maintain a posture is a huge disadvantage for the knight..
"Let's break it once···!"
In the meantime, Koo Dae-seong held on by entangling his body with roots growing from the ground. This is possible because everything in the earth protects and protects him..
The tree roots that grew through the Holy Law of Abundance barely supported his body, and Koo Dae-seong was able to complete his preparations for a counterattack..
-Quang!
Destructive hammering. Even the Great Devil's head explodes with a single blow, striking the golem's fist..
-Kwazijic!
And the golem's fist was smashed helplessly. The intensity is not strong, perhaps because waste materials are collected here and there. but······.
"reunion?!"
The remains are instantly combined by the Maghar's divine power. The Mag'har swinging his staff on top of the golem let out a loud laugh..
[It's no use! Not even that firebrand can destroy this golem at once! It's impossible with you fakes.!]
At Maghar’s declaration, Soyeon Cheon clicked her tongue and narrowed her eyebrows..
"Fake, fake... it's noisy."
"Well, our style is a bit lacking.."
They know it too. Even though I had unconventional teachings from Leon starting as a cadet at his academy, I thought I had become stronger when I was ordained a knight..
However, when Leon returned from the Demon World with Vulcan and the Burning Sword Knights, he realized that their strength was on a different 'level' compared to theirs..
Individual military power, group combat power... and faith in God.
Perhaps that is a gap that will not be narrowed. The culture in which they were raised naturally places them close to God and considers honor and loyalty as virtues..
It is an undeniable fact that they are lacking compared to them..
"But why are the orc beasts judging us and making a fuss?."
"Rarely do I agree.."
As Koo Dae-seong said, they don't need the orc's evaluation..
One thing they learned from the great knight king.
Righteous anger against evil and orcs.
"Let's go."
The Holy Grail Knight takes the lead. Gu Daeseong held Geobrick's Hammer and Earth Shield and began walking towards the golem that was thousands of times larger..
"Is there a way? If you were Koo Dae-seong, you wouldn't know that we're going to beat it until it can't be played, but we can't do it.."
"I also don't know how to be so ignorant.."
A living saint, perfect vitality. In particular, Koo Dae-seong, the Holy Grail Knight of Life, may truly be able to fight infinitely..
But that's an effective fighting method only against low-level noobs. If a war of attrition takes place against an equally strong player, the more experienced side will win..
"There is no choice but to go to a short-term decisive battle. Even if it’s just to reduce the burden on Your Majesty.."
Their goal is to destroy the idols of the orc gods who are giving powerful protection to the orcs..
Above all, the Tower of the Shaman God is repeatedly charging and discharging, pouring out firepower that divides the city..
Koo Dae-seong is currently receiving most of those attacks, so if the target changes, our allies will be in danger..
"I'll go straight ahead. Soyeon and Jaehyuk, please destroy the ‘strategic goal’.."
"But old man Koo Dae-seong. I'm a firepower one-tool, but without Soyeon, how can I deflect that beam of light??"
"I will try to hold on somehow. Other knights don't last long either. A decision must be made quickly."
To do that, Koo Dae-seong must take the biggest risk. But he is prepared..
Ever since he took on the undeserved task of becoming a Holy Grail Knight, he has always been ready for it..
"I'm going!"
Koo Dae-seong started running straight ahead. The Mag'har poured all kinds of spells at him..
Curse of slowness, curse of reduced life, curse of loss of sense of distance.
While operating a golem that moves with divine power, it simultaneously blocks the movements of the Holy Grail Knight with its main effort. Koo Dae-seong's body became heavier in real time, hindering his movement..
[Break it down.]
And as soon as the slowdown became noticeable, the golem's fist struck down. He would have been able to avoid it with the Holy Grail Knight's breakthrough power, but the curse that binds him prevents it..
"shit···!"
A giant fist striking down. Its weight is truly that of a building. Block it with the Earth Shield.
[Kkeukkeuk, has it become a scam??]
There is no way a single object could withstand this much weight. Just when I thought the Mag'har had dealt with the Grail Knight..
[Hmm?]
The golem's fist is raised. It was impossible. Even the Holy Grail Knight has a limit to his physical strength, and right now, that thing is overcoming the weight of a building.!
An incomprehensible force. But the Mag'har soon discovered the source of its power..
[tree roots?]
Huge tree roots growing from underground in the city. That's helping Koo Dae-seong push away the golem's fist.!
[under···! Are you saying you're the Holy Grail Knight of Life?!]
The Mag'har immediately fired the main force of the curse towards the tree. A curse of decline that takes away vitality. As a result, the tree roots, which boasted strong fibers, quickly wither away..
"No way···!"
Holy Law <Blessing of Growth>
Koo Dae-seong’s holy power stands against this. The Holy Grail Knight of Life, who promises the growth and prosperity of all living things..
As long as he is there, no amount of weathering and decay can extinguish the tenacity of life..
"Now! go away!"
Koo Dae-seong swung the hammer using the space created by the tree roots. Boom! And the golem's fist scatters all at once..
The weight is great, but in the end, it is nothing compared to polished steel as it is made from scrap metal remnants..
[It's no use!]
The Mag'har's divine power reorganizes the golem's fist. This time, instead of a single solid fist, piles of scrap metal were all thrown at Gu Dae-seong..
"Big...! Like this···!"
You can't hurt me. It's just that my vision is a little obscured..
'for a moment? My vision is blocked?'
A momentary gap. Gokrok's tower, controlled by the Mag'har, emits green light..
"Big?!"
I blocked it with the Earth Shield, but as expected, Gu Dae-seong was not able to withstand it..
A ray of destruction that melts even the star armor of the Holy Grail Knight. If you were a knight who deals with the sacred laws of light like Cheon So-yeon, you wouldn't know it. With the pure power of life, you grow and burn out at the same time..
"Ughhh···!"
Koo Dae-seong raised one foot while desperately resisting the destructive power of the beam. I pray that the earth will respond to his will..
Daeseongbeop <Spear of the Earth>
Sharp earth and sand rising from the ground. The terrain that rose up according to his will was in the shape of a sharp spear, but its function was different from before..
[Are you planning to change the terrain and use it as a shield? but···!]
"······?!"
Koo Dae-seong felt that his hands were empty for a moment. The wave of scrap metal that was so rampant that it obscured my vision snatched the hammer in my hand.!
"this···!"
I lost my weapon due to carelessness. Koo Dae-seong felt a sense of disappointment..
「Although he is a Holy Grail Knight in terms of strength, he lacks skill. It's too easy to get caught up in interpersonal warfare, psychological warfare, and trickery..」
A warning that Karina gave while training her. However, Koo Dae-sung did not receive a passing grade from Karina in the end..
Of course, my skills have improved. Much more than before. Since I received one-on-one instruction from a veteran Holy Grail Knight, I can say that my skills have become much better than before..
but······.
'By the standards of a Holy Grail Knight, it's not enough! It's not even close to the level of the Holy Grail Knights..'
Koo Dae-seong is still lacking. There was a distant gap between his skills and the skills of the knights representing the history of the Lionheart War..
This may be the reason why the Maghar saw Gu Daesung and called it fake..
[What can you do without a hammer??]
In his mockery. Koo Dae-seong chanted amidst the waves of scrap metal noisy in his ears..
"from now on."
Just move forward. Losing your weapon doesn't change what you do.
-Quack, quack!
Pass through the massive waves of scrap metal using only the shield. The path ahead of him is straight ahead, following the route created by the spear of the earth..
[Are you coming bare-handed and without a weapon? stupid guy!]
Mag'har pours out numerous curses and once again binds Gu Dae-seong's movements. If it's a war of attrition, this is the advantage. Moreover, since he lost his hammer, he would not be able to destroy the golem as easily as before..
"from now on···!"
But even if the bridge is heavy and thousands of tons of scrap metal block the way,.
Even if it is sold as a fake.
"from now on!!"
One thing he is confident he can do, better than anyone else..
「But one thing is certain. Kyeong-eun, you have grit..」
"Forward oh oh oh!!"
Just moving forward honestly.
[Such an ignorant guy!]
Maghar laughed at such simple ignorance and moved the golem. Instead of the fragmented arm, the fist of the other arm.
I crush him with this and crush him..
[Fuck you, you fake bastard.···!]
A fist weighing thousands of tons swings towards Koo Dae-seong..
It's like a huge golem swinging its fist at an ant. Koo Dae-seong did not miss that awkward posture..
"yet again!"
Daeseongbeop <Spear of the Earth>
At that moment, a change in the terrain rising from the ground. A spear fired with the earth itself responding. It pierces the golem's body..
[······!]
The spear of the earth that penetrates blocks the golem. Fists cannot reach in an awkward position.
"Yaaaaaaaa······!!"
And in that gap, Koo Dae-seong runs along the natural road that extends to the golem..
[Hmm... it's no use! Just reassemble the destroyed parts.──!?]
At that moment, Maghar saw something that Koo Dae-seong was holding instead of a hammer..
tree roots.
The roots of the trees that grew by his power of growth are in his hands..
[this guy···! no way!]
It must be stopped. That was the Mag'har's instinct..
-Quaaaaa!!
The remains of the destroyed fist block Koo Dae-seong. It turns into a mini golem on the spot... no, it becomes a golem three times bigger than a regular rock golem and tries to block Koo Dae-seong..
"It's disturbing!!"
Koo Dae-seong swung his fist and smashed it. As if there was no need to even hammer, sometimes he throws his whole body and smashes it with a headbutt, and throws a tattered earth shield to crush the golem..
It seems like he has no intention of relying on his hammer to play the role of a Holy Grail Knight..
straight forward.
[stop──!]
The Holy Grail Knight leaps. His superhuman leg strength launched him like a cannonball. The place he headed to was none other than the exact center of the half-destroyed golem..
Koo Dae-seong punched the golem with his fist holding the root..
-Goong!
The center of the golem, which had been destroyed by the Earth Spear, was easily shattered. Inside the golem filled with so much scrap metal, the only ‘life’ digs in..
Holy Law <Blessing of Growth>
At that moment, a tree began to grow inside the golem..
The tree, which was made to grow rapidly by pouring in the holy power of the Holy Grail Knight of Life, grew from the inside without the Mag'har having time to react, and the greenery even bulged outward..
[this···!]
Mag'har sensed that it was not just growth. The golem's movement actually stopped..
[Did they take control of the inside with their roots?!]
To remove this, the entire golem would have to be disassembled and reassembled. And they have no intention of giving that opportunity..
Holy Demon Sword).
"······!"
An eerie sound. The moment the sharp energy from the holy sword and the demonic sword sent chills from the Mag'har, the knight commander was already swinging his sword..
Cheon So-yeon gathers as much strength as she can from a nearby building and makes a single leap. She swings her sword towards the cockpit of the golem protecting the Mag'har..
[profit···!]
The Mag'har urgently strengthened the defenses around him, but his opponent was a knight commander who wielded the power of Ventasis, the god of darkness and vengeance..
The power of the dark magic sword is simple. Absolute cutting that cuts down everything. The magic sword instantly cut through the golem's cockpit, which was made up of scrap metal..
The moment the cut scrap metal and rocks fall away and the Mag'har's appearance is captured, Cheon So-yeon's holy sword stabs towards the Mag'har..
"the end──"
"Don't underestimate me, baby!!"
A green flash pours out from the Mag'har's eyes. A power given to the champion of Gokrok. Go'krok's Gaze.
If it's a Krahn or a Murka, it's a flash of destruction that can shoot down even a satellite in geostationary orbit, but even a Mag'har is enough to finish off a delicate knight in front of you..
"Pfft···!"
However, Cheon So-yeon reacted quickly. He quickly blocked the Maghar's green flash with the light of the holy sword..
"oh···!"
However, unable to withstand the force received from the front, the fragile posture collapses..
"Phew···!"
The Mag'har, who barely escaped the crisis, immediately tried to solve the root cause of the golem's control. But then, he suddenly realized that there was no ‘one person’ in sight..
'Where is the kid who wields the power of that thunder??'
-Crying!
A feeling of eerieness and at the same time the turbulent energy of the sky. A golden thunderstorm is hitting somewhere along with dark clouds..
"You guy···!?"
The building across the street. On the opposite side of Cheon So-yeon, the spearman was pulling the spear with all his might..
'Accompanied by thunder and lightning shaking from the window..
"It is Binaida It is Binaida. Ultima, please let my bamboo spear hit the target.!"
[joy···! If you pray earnestly, I, the heavenly being, will make it happen..]
"Wow! I believe and shoot!"
The next moment, Kim Jae-hyuk throws his bow-like arm forward as hard as he can. The epic item he threw, the Ultima Relic, is thrown towards the Maghar..
"Ughhh···!"
Mag'har, who witnessed it, had a hunch. That spear will pierce me.
The Mag'har made a split-second decision..
"Scatter away!"
Dispersing the giant golem gathered together with divine power..
"Huh? What is that crazy thing?!"
Kim Jae-hyuk was taken aback as he saw the giant golem scattering in an instant. As the golem scattered, the Mag'har also fell, but thanks to that, Jaehyuk's spear passed by the Mag'har..
"madam! I missed the last hit!"
then.
"Old man Koo Dae-seong!!"
"Koo Dae-seong!!"
This is what the two knights call. The Mag'har's eyes sparkled..
"You guy···!"
A knight of life who throws himself towards the falling Mag'har. The Mag'har grinned at the guy who jumped at me bare-handed, without a hammer or a shield..
"One step short, fake!"
A dank green divine power gathers in his gaze. A situation in which both parties fall without a foothold in the air. In that case, you, the shaman, have an overwhelming advantage.!
"no, that's enough."
"······?!"
At that moment, the Mag'har saw. He struck a hammer flying with a spinning sound countless times..
"this guy···!"
Green rays shoot out.
The hammer strikes..
The collision of hammers emitting a flash of dark green and a green color opposes each other, pushing away each other's divine and sacred powers..
"I win...!!"
A hammer blow that pushes back a flash of light. When it finally flashed away, the last thing the Mag'har saw was the cold surface of the hammer..
