Chapter 60

60Fire Grail Knight Geobrick(1)

"Kuheuk?!"

Leon's spear pierces the man's heart. That's not all. She was pierced through the back and the chest of the woman behind her..

Only after three people were pierced were the victims screamed from the lance that had been skewered..

"The trash is so noisy.."

He lifted the lance that impaled three people high and swung it. Bodies falling from the tip of the spear and lying around..

Leon's spear tip is soaked in blood as he searches for his next prey..

"Let's go, Stallion.!"

It was a scene of slaughter and massacre that did not even constitute a battle..

"Well, what is it??"

"I'm not crazy?!"

"……."

Suho, Jaehyuk, Soyeon. All three people are stunned by Leon's outburst..

Wasn't the direction of the attack wrong? Was it a mistake? But as the slaughter continues, he realizes that he is sane..

''You really sided with the soldiers.!''

Even if the orc opponent's ignorant hatred is because they are of a different race, I never thought that they would do this to the same human..

"This is not this."

Hari, unable to see anything, stepped forward. It's not easy for horses to get into the heart of that storm, but we have to stop that atrocity even if it means getting down.!

"Ms. Hari."

At that very moment, a dark energy blocks Hari. Her magic queen's magic holds her back..

"Please wait."

"Yes, queen……."

Hari looks at the queen who blocks him with a reproachful gaze. Nevertheless, the Queen understood her Hari. She quietly persuaded me with a smile hidden beneath her veil..

"Trust your majesty. There's always a reason for what he does."

"Is that so??"

Hari looked towards Leon..

-Die, you scum.!

-ha ha ha! You guessed it five times! It's a new record.!

-I will not leave a single person alive! Die in sorrow and screams!

Leon pierces to death with a spear, stomps to death with a divine beast, and splits his head with a sword..

"Isn’t it just hate??"

"……You seem to have a bit of an excitable temperament.."

Just looking at the visuals, there is no such thing as a crazy person. Even though Ha-ri is getting used to it, the cadets, including Su-ho, look shocked..

-we… Shouldn’t I run away now??

-Oh, I agree..

-Strength... If you want to get it…….

The reason they don't come forward after seeing that horrible scene is not just because they lack a sense of justice..

First, even if they step forward, they are powerless to stop the massacre..

Second, since it's Leon's job, there must be a reason..

Lastly, because in the end the existence of the gate is ‘fake’.

Except for a very small number of survivors, the monsters and NPCs within the gate are nothing more than past memories that reproduce certain events..

Unlike the 'true other world' where survivors exist, here you can only collect magic stones and drop items..

This is evidenced by the fact that among the numerous attempts since the Gate appeared, all attempts to bring NPCs or monsters inside the Gate to Earth have failed..

They are ultimately fake. Even if fakes are slaughtered or displayed on the execution platform, even if they are frowned upon, they do not consider it a ‘crime’..

Eventually, after the massacre that burned down the entire village, knights and soldiers approached Leon and his companions..

"Mmm…."

Hari and the cadets looked at the blood-soaked soldiers and prepared to draw their swords..

These are the people who slaughtered people so cruelly. They must have also erected the scaffold for the skinned corpse..

"……."

A knight wearing a sophisticated helmet approached, taking it off. He got off his horse and suddenly fell to his knees.

"I meet the Holy Grail Knight, a living saint.!"

""I meet the Holy Grail Knight, a living saint.!!""

Knights and soldiers kneeling in unison. They bowed down as if they were worshiping Leon and waited for him to speak..

"Stand up. It's still a battlefield."

Knights and soldiers barely raised their heads after permission. An article that was ahead of the curve came forward..

"My name is Toscatta Bendelic, brother of Lord Bendelik and a member of the Knights of the Dawn of Lavonia. You, the saint who carries the brilliant brilliance of God,."

"If it's Bendelic territory, it's a trading city close to Langqual. Is your younger brother the lord??"

"Unfortunately, I was the only one among my brothers who was recognized for his talent as a knight.."

Knights often do not also serve as lords. The role of civil servants is to manage and govern the territory..

Those who walk the path of ordinary knights... This is because, especially if you want to follow a strict path of asceticism, you will not have the luxury of ruling a territory..

"Have you left on your spiritual journey yet??"

"Yes, I was planning to embark on this conquest as my last retreat.."

Leon could not remember a knight named Toscatta Bendelic..

At least if I had become a Holy Grail Knight, I would have met him in the paradise of the gods. This means that he either failed to practice or died in this conquest..

"Other knights should also reveal their names.."

"yes! My name is Tezare, a kingdom knight from the Viscounty of Kitan.!"

"My name is Kingdom Knight Zoltan Bormun.!"

"This is Benien Barboza, a travel engineer.!"

"This is Isla Stannion, a knight.!"

Leon checked each of their names against his memories. But it wasn't a familiar name. Unfortunately, these honorable knights did not leave their names in history..

"My luggage is Leon Dragonia Lionheart. He is the rightful Grand Duke of the Grand Duke of Dragonia and the owner of the Lionheart, inherited by Ariana, the goddess of light and justice.."

""……!!""

At those words, the knights and soldiers were filled with astonishment. The cadets also fully guessed the reason..

The era of this gate is a distant past in Leon's world. For example, he is the future Lionheart King. If he were to call himself a king in this era, who would believe him?.

"……You are the one who carries brilliant light. Should I judge this as a joke??"

"What a joke. What knight in the world can claim to be the Lion-Hearted King?."

A slight distrust spreads among them. The knights were hesitating about the current situation, which contradicted the brightness that was stronger than anyone else's from Leon..

"Believe it. It's complicated to explain, but Jim is definitely a lion-hearted king.."

"……I believe it."

'believe this?!'

The cadets' faces were full of surprise. It would not be strange to draw the sword right away, but Leon makes an absurd claim and the knights believe it literally..

Even the soldiers seem to think that's the way it is and move on..

'I doubt it, but I believe in something more absolute than my own judgment..'

Cheon So-yeon sensed the ‘fanaticism’ felt in them. Sound facts, logical grounds, claims without evidence... What is it that they trust so much that they ignore all rational reasoning?.

"Knights, as far as I know, you are a punitive force that has come to subdue the barbarians. Is it right??"

"yes… ! That's right!"

"Is the War Knight of the subjugating army actually Sir Geobrick, the Holy Grail Knight of Life and Abundance??"

"yes!"

"I have to urgently meet him. Where is Lord Geobrick??"

Leon realized that these were ‘remnant hunters’. While the main force clashes with the largest hostile force, a small number of detachments destroy small surrounding masses..

Even though he is a knight, the reason he wears light armor rather than heavy armor is to attack quickly in a speed battle..

'Considering the reason for 'peeling the skin', what is happening here is probably──

"Sir Geobrick is currently confronting the main army of barbarians.."

"Soon he will slaughter the dirty barbarians."

Leon had a hunch.

Geobrick, the Holy Grail Knight who failed to ascend to the paradise of the gods, is said to have suffered something wrong during this war..

* * * *

Over the past few days, the Phoenix Guild and the Golden Lion Guild have mobilized all their knowledge to help the tribal alliance..

While waiting for the moment of decisive battle, we dug into the ground, engraved magic inscriptions, and made traps..

"The log trap is complete! Please install it!"

"Thank you, warriors! we will take it."

A peaceful tribe of people fight to protect their home against an invasion from an evil kingdom..

"Warrior, have a cup of tea.."

"Uh, uh… thank you."

Hwang Yeon-ha nodded awkwardly, joining in with the others. She puts down the wooden fence that was under construction and drinks tea given to her by a tribal woman..

"My Sister~ Are you joking??"

"Fuck you."

Hayeon cynically responds by waving her middle finger. They look like ordinary siblings.

"What's going on? 'You've done enough preparations.."

"Well, the enemy's big hit was like this.."

At that moment, Hwang Yeon-ha realized that the density of the air had changed..

Beyond the fence, there is that green knight..

2A large man close to m. Stylish, impeccable armor, a huge one-handed hammer and shield..

The exhaled breath makes the space heavy, and a huge presence weighs down all the humans present..

"Phew… You finally paid.."

Lee Yong-wan and Ha Yu-ri are already waiting at the wooden fence. The two, as well as all the hunters from the Phoenix Guild and the Golden Lion Guild, appear to be nervous..

It's natural. A superhuman who is beyond that human is a being that even S-class hunters have difficulty dealing with..

Above all, back then there was only one Geobrick, but now there is an army following him..

"That's a lot."

There are approximately 200 members of the Lavonian Order of Knights of the Kingdom. There are six hundred knights who gathered on their wanderings in search of honor..

The evaluation of the hunters who fought them in several sporadic guerrilla battles was astounding..

Even if you take the minimum estimate for a travel engineer, he or she is at the top of B level and at the bottom of A level. Kingdom knights are at the top of A level.

Of course, there is a big difference between S-class hunters and A-class hunters. The problem is that there are as many as 800 people who can easily reach Class A. This number exceeds all A-level hunters in Korea..

Is that all? Geobrick is a monster that even S-class cannot compete with. In Hwang Geum-cheol's opinion, even Cheongju Gate's Yakt Spinner was no match for him..

"Is this really a red gate? The difficulty level is not at the black gate level.?"

Each and every one of them is a crisis for humanity, and the Black Gate has occurred only three times in its 30-year history. No, it's the fourth time now.

I have no experience in attacking the Golden Railroad Black Gate, so I have no knowledge to compare it to.…….

"But it's worth a try."

That's right. Nevertheless, there was a reason why the coalition attack force did not give up the attack..

"Warriors. The warriors are ready for battle."

The approaching shaman Hildir. She looked tired after engraving magic marks on all the 'hunters' for the past few days..

"What are our numbers??"

"Two hundred advanced warriors and three thousand intermediate warriors. There are 20,000 low-level warriors. There are about 50,000 people, including the elderly and infirm, who decided to fight.."

Considering that Geobrick and his legions totaled less than 7,000 people, this was good news. At least in terms of numbers, this one is more than seven times larger..

After going through the entire neighborhood and indiscriminately committing massacres, all the tribes in the area joined forces, which was a natural result..

Here is a joint attack force consisting of 50 Class A members and 100 Class B members..

It is said that more than 30 people were seriously injured or taken prisoner in the first battle with Geobrick, but the main force remains intact. Above all──

[The demon's molar engraving is engraved on it..]

-Defense penetration increases by 35%.

-Strength and endurance increase by 20%.

[The engraving of the white tiger is engraved..]

-Trait Stride is granted.

-Agility increases by 15%.

[Cheolwoong (鐵熊)'s fur and leather engraving was engraved on it..]

-Characteristic strength is granted.

-Provides firm skin.

[The black eagle's claws are engraved.]

-Reduces resistance by 30%.

-Air resistance characteristics are provided.

‘Beast gods’ worshiped by local shamans and tribes. A powerful engraving that can be obtained by serving those gods..

The enormous effectiveness of the engraving dramatically increased the combat power of the raiding party..

"Heroes. please save us."

"Of course, Miss Hildir. Our Firebird Guild will not sit idly by and leave you alone.."

When Lee Yong-wan responded kindly, Hwang Yeon-ha nudged Ha Yu-ri sitting next to her..

'What is it? That guy isn't that friendly..'

'The two of us had sex.'

'Ooh…….'

It happens quite often. Hunters who communicate with the NPC in the gate who don't have to worry about their backs.

If it were Earth, there were many atrocities that would have been punished as serious crimes, so Lee Yong-wan is a noble person..

"Ugh! That guy is moving!"

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to the outside of the wooden fence. Geobrick had moved. Riding on a Pegasus armed with green barding, he flew over the wooden fence at once..

"Shit, fuck… That scam item."

"Is it possible to intercept?"

"You have to wait for the moment when it comes down."

Since the existence of Pegasus was not known, the joint attack force also prepared for it. But Geobrick seemed to have no intention of coming down and spoke to them from the sky..

"At that time, they were the surviving mercenaries.."

A voice rings out. A loud sound as if screaming into your ear..

"They may be lowly things, but they let me live because of their ignorance. What are they doing there?."

"Well, whatever. I'm ready to take you down."

Gate closing conditions. Defeat ‘Geobric the Magnificent’.

The joint attack team plans to defeat him, collect a lot of magic stones before the gate disappears, and then run away..

The magic stones scattered around this gate were a waste. It's probably a magic stone that fell from the slaughtered NPC tribesmen..

However, the weaker the magic stone, the lower the quality. The joint raid team wanted the items and magic stones that the monstrous Holy Grail Knight would drop..

"I will give you one chance because you are ignorant and blind. Give up all your weapons and get out of here. You have no great sins.."

"under… What do you mean by mentioning sin? Aren't you embarrassed??"

Lee Yong-wan’s rebuttal was valid. Everyone from Earth thought so..

They executed people by stripping their raw skin, massacred them mercilessly, and did not even spare the elderly or children..

Even mentioning the sins of those cruel massacres is nonsense. If there is sympathy that every human being has,.

however.

Geobrick and the Knights.

Even any soldier in the legion.

"There is no shame in looking up to the sky, and there is no shame in looking down at the earth! My actions are nothing but justice!!"

No one feels guilty about this cruel massacre..

They sentenced him to death in a vague manner, as if he had done something natural, like saving bugs..

"How dare you try to save those bastards in front of me, in front of this Geobrick! You guys have crossed the line of what is acceptable.!"

Geobrick's declaration of doom. The majestic sound and ferocious gaze overwhelm everyone..

"Hey, warrior.……."

Hildir held Yongwan Lee’s hand as if he was scared. Even though he was an NPC, Lee Yong-wan, who became attached to him, held his hand..

"I am Geobrick, the glorious Grail Knight of Lionheart! I will give you a ‘divine punishment’!"

next moment.

A huge green energy was sucked into Geobrick's hammer. Yongwan Lee realizes that it was from before and shouts urgently..

"Defense techniques activated! It's not a skill you can use often! Just stop it once…!"

I have made preparations. We invested our resources without sparing any effort. Several strategies were prepared. but──

""We, the knights of the kingdom who follow the honorable Holy Grail Knight! I will gladly add this power to annihilate evil.!!""

The kingdom knights stretched out their swords and spears. Who would have predicted that an act that seemed at first glance to be nothing but meaningless would cause a terrible ‘resonance’?.

"Uh oh?"

"What, what??"

Two hundred kingdom knights. Those who swore to protect the kingdom and entrusted their fate to the gods..

The holy power they had accumulated through their strong faith was concentrated on one Holy Grail Knight..

That energy cannot even be compared to what it was before..

Geobrick sentences from the sky.

"Kneel before the glory of the true gods."

The sacred power condensed in the sky spreads in all directions..

The next moment──the ground collapsed..
