61Fire Grail Knight Geobrick(2)

A being chosen by the gods.

The goddess of light and justice, who governs all knights and teaches justice, gives power to knights who have been sublimated into saints..

A Holy Grail Knight is an agent of God. As saints, they weave the sacred energy offered by believers into their own power..

divine punishment).

A collective method that mobilizes one knighthood. Each Grail Knight is different depending on the god they consider as the main god, but the Grail Knight of Life and Abundance has the power to crush the earth..

"Ugh… What on earth happened... … This doesn't make sense."

Lee Yong-wan could not believe the reality before his eyes..

Due to Geobrick's divine punishment, part of the area where the tribal union and hunters were located was completely destroyed..

800m in all directions near the wooden fence where the main troops are crowded. Is this what it would feel like if a huge sinkhole were created?.

The good news is that that area is not the area the hunters were defending. Most of them are where the warriors of the tribal alliance are located..

But just now, more than 3,000 warriors were massacred..

"Fuck, what the fuck. What... How can that be a person?……."

The Holy Grail Knights, who are supported by the Knights Templar, are themselves a one-man army. It's a monster no different from an archmage..

Hunters fell into a panic facing a catastrophe they had never experienced before..

Overwhelming power. What can you do against such a monster?.

"Is that a human?……."

"……I can't beat something like that."

The Grail Knight speaks from above Pegasus. His quiet voice was clearly engraved everywhere..

"Goddess, protect us from the land we touch.."

"Be a solid ground for my brothers and sisters to step on.."

"An opportunity for purification for cultists who have fallen into the wrong path.."

A prayer that is kind and even sacred. But no one thought that was ‘benevolent’.

That's because the cringe that looks like it's about to explode at any moment is on the corner of that twisted mouth..

"Get away, you disgusting heretics.."

-Ooooooooooooooooo……!!

-Follow Geobrick the Magnificent!!

The warhorse runs. The knights rush towards the defense line, which has completely collapsed on one axis..

""Yurin──""

""──Do it!!""

There is a gate. It is a wooden castle gate filled with oil, placed behind it with a block of rock, and covered with magic..

The first batter is definitely Geobrick. Running on the ground on Pegasus, his hammer glowed and his hammer flew through the air..

A hammer thrown with all its might hits the castle gate..

Quang! The roar of destruction rings out and the wooden fence flies away. The knights rushed through the hole..

"Don't stop it!"

Leading tanks and tribal warriors with shields stood in the way..

Considering the opponent's cavalry strength, maximum spears were supplied and barricades were built to block them. But the moment of clash──

The spear broke on impact with the armor, and the shield was thrown away by the heavy mass..

-Oh no, that's ridiculous!

-Not only the effect of the engraving, but also the compatibility was superior.!

Cavalry is weak to spearmen. Even cavalry is bound to collapse in front of tightly packed shield formations and spears..

That's common sense. But these are the articles.

A knight's armament is by no means light. Heavy armor is impervious to cheap infantry spears, and the warhorses of the Lionheart Kingdom are not afraid even against phalanxes like hedgehogs..

Among the knights selected, there are knights of glory who claim to be knights of the kingdom and can be commanded by war knights..

In front of knights who have been riding horses their whole lives since birth, they are no better than a piece of paper.!

"Kraaaaaaaa!!"

The formation is broken. In a large-scale battlefield of 10,000 units that none of the hunters had ever experienced, only 200 knights were sweeping the battlefield..

"Damn it! Don't push! Falling!"

"Save me, save me!"

It bounces off and gets trampled. The warriors of the allied tribes, who had a large hole opened in the side by Geobrick's divine punishment, fell into the sinkhole due to the impact of the knights..

Lee Yong-wan didn’t just sit still either..

I tore apart the scroll I cherished and concentrated my firepower..

However, most of the high firepower is from long-distance weapons. The kingdom's knights, who receive the protection of the Holy Law <Long Distance Nullification>, swing their spears as if it is no big deal..

"Stop the main dealers! Hitting it from the side!"

Despite Lee Yong-wan's instructions, the veteran hunters took care of the knights' weaknesses..

Although it is a great breakthrough, there are only 50 A-level hunters here. While the warriors of the tribal alliance served as meat shields, they cleverly attacked the flanks of the knights..

"It's pretty good!"

Kingdom Knight Gaston blocked the ax he swung at me with his shield..

It's heavy. Their power is not lacking compared to mine..

"A mere mercenary has this much power. Is it because of the imprint of a cultist?."

"A leisurely assessment on the battlefield, Sir Gaston.!"

said Sir Laurent, who deflected a javelin flying towards him from the side. He looks humiliated that his charge was stopped by the hunters' momentum..

"No, I was just amazed that even lowly trash can become this strong by borrowing the power of a cult. Indeed, do you understand being seduced by deviant power?."

"Blasphemy, Sir Gaston. Be aware that your words and actions may be profane.."

"Hahahaha! Sir Laurent is still serious. Don’t you remember 30 years ago, when we were slaughtering orcs in the black desert??"

"well. Aren't those animals the ones that always kill?."

"Looks like I'll have to fight the orcs the way I fight them now.."

Kingdom knight, Viscount Gaston Walschvar. <Orc Slayer>.

"Against these guys... Hippopotamus!"

Baron Laurent Dominique, knight of the kingdom. <Iron Barrier>.

Knights with exposed sides dismount from their horses. As their heavy armor clattered and landed on the ground, it seemed as if a small earthquake had occurred..

Knights who do not back down when faced with numbers that are several times greater..

"light and justice──"

"life and abundance──"

"war and flames──"

They raised their swords and shields and declared their faith..

""Glory to all gods.""

Needless to say, a knight's destructive power is most powerful when he is on horseback..

The impact combined with the overwhelming speed and mass breaks the vibration barrier..

But knights are not just riders on horses. If a knight was merely good at riding a horse, yeomen from commoner backgrounds could easily take on that role..

'What, what??'

Park Chan-soo, an A-level hunter who was attacking five isolated knights with a hundred intermediate warriors, was embarrassed..

Swallowed and surrounded by waves of numbers. The horse's ability to break through was blocked and even the hippopotamus did it. Long, heavy lances are put down and knights carrying swords and shields act as infantry..

However, no matter how powerful your armor and sturdy shield are, you can't do anything in front of such a massive battle..

If elites with similar specs are mixed together, they will eventually collapse and be swallowed up..

But there was something they overlooked.

kingdom knights.

Knights of Realms.

Although they were unable to walk the honorable path of performing quests for the gods as knights, they traveled all over the continent to prove themselves and prove their honor..

In layman's terms, it's been decades since I've only eaten cutlassfish. A knight who shows off his skills has wielded a sword for a hundred years..

they are survivors.

The brave warriors who slaughtered the dirty green beasts and ugly cultists and stopped the invasion of foreigners..

I have hunted as many animals as were physically stronger than myself..

"War! Protect me with your sacred flame!"

Rising flames are contained in the sword and swung around. It was never a power to wield in the midst of friendly forces, but the flames engulfed dozens of tribal warriors..

"Wow, you crazy person! Are you trying to get your allies involved too?!"

Hunter is horrified by what could be considered suicide. But he realized that no knight was burned by the knight's flame..

"Do you think this fire that God has allowed will harm our brothers of the same faith, you foolish cultists?!"

Encouraged by the overwhelming performance of the kingdom knights, the knights and the kingdom army rush forward. Thanks to Geobrick and the knights pushing through the narrow castle gate, the kingdom's soldiers were able to get inside the fence..

And when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it only leads to a one-sided massacre..

-Damn it! the article is too strong!

-Someone please do something about that!

-A soldier of this level! The connection is on a different level.!

"……."

Lee Yong-wan gritted his teeth as he saw that..

strong.

The kingdom’s knights were strong beyond imagination..

Not only in terms of strength and special power, but also in terms of experience, they are slaughtering tribal warriors like machines..

'Does it mean that just matching the specs to the same level is not enough?.'

There is a huge gap between them and themselves. Hwang Geum-cheol also approached him and asked if he felt the same way..

"What can I do? The kingdom's soldiers have already arrived. Depp Show is completely destroyed in a head-on confrontation.?"

"I know, junior.."

"If you miss it, it's only now.."

"what? What kind of bullshit is that?!"

When Hwang Yeon-ha, who was listening next to him, shouted loudly, Hwang Geum-cheol shrugged and answered..

"We haven't deployed our main forces yet. From the beginning, I planned to use the tribal warriors as meat shields to steadily cut down the field boss.."

"It was like that."

"However, let alone a field boss, there is no way to even be a knight. We can't do this alone."

You have to give up the gate. You have to give up on the strategy and ask for help from other top 10 guilds..

"If we borrow the help of another teenage guild... It's not impossible to conquer, but the dungeon break will occur long ago.?"

"actually… I think there is a way to end it more smoothly than I thought.."

"what does that mean?"

Golden Iron's men were injured while fighting the knights and retreated one after another. And fortunately, the names of the gods they served caught his ears..

"Ariana, the goddess of light and justice, and Fethos, the god of war and fire. Where have I never heard of this before??"

"well. I'm not interested in religion. Who knew the religion of the Gate in the first place?──"

"Lion heart king. Didn’t you watch the Pantheon YouTube??"

"!!!"

Lee Yong-wan’s pupils dilate at those words..

"no way?"

"That king seems to be from the same kingdom as this gate. Damn, I was a little angry on the first day when I was a knight of God and all.."

Then the story is different. They also know about the Lionheart Kingdom and Lionheart King Leon..

If the king of those knights is from the same background as the knights here?

"……It's worth a retreat."

"Well, either way, this will get through soon. There is no way to deal with those guys with only 7 times the number.."

It's extremely reasonable. If they retreat, this tribal alliance will be completely destroyed, but Yongwan Lee has no intention of giving up his life for the NPCs..

"Hero… Are you leaving??"

Even if there are NPCs with mixed feelings..

"Miss Hildir."

"If the warriors leave... What should we do? Are you really going to abandon us??"

"I will bring reinforcements soon. Please step away now.."

Lee Yong-wan did not persuade Hildir further with those words. Because there is nothing more meaningless than bickering with NPCs..

"Tell the guild members about the retreat! I quickly got out of the gate──"

"In the end, we couldn't defeat those monsters this time either?."

"Miss Hildir?"

Yongwan Lee felt a chill running up his spine..

Until this morning, the lovely beauty who had been whispering love to me under my bedding was smiling so grotesquely that it was creepy..

"It's disgusting that it's never been closed.."

Her eyes were still focused on the leader slaughtering the warriors. The Green Knight and his knights and soldiers.

"what are you saying now──"

As Lee Yong-wan approaches, Hildir waves his hand to stop him..

"it's okay. This time too, I have no choice but to use expedient methods. He might not like it."

Perfect! and snapping fingers. That was right then..

-Sorry?

-That's right?

It all started with a dead body.

'The skin with the 'imprint' swelled, the muscles expanded, and the skeleton distorted..

A large number of hairs grow on the enlarged body as if it were expanding. When he finally took the form of an animal instead of a human, the eyes of the knights glowed..

"They use hexes!"

"Become a beast!"

Barbarians who worship beast gods. By carving the imprint of a beast on their bodies, they receive false blessings and ultimately have the power to become beasts..

-Ohhhhh!!

Wild boar, bear, wolf, eagle. After forcefully expanding and twisting the human body, there were more than a thousand monsters in the form of beasts..

The tribesmen cheer as they see the terrible sight..

"The great beast god granted his favor.!"

"We too will soon receive that grace.!"

It is not only the warriors of the tribal alliance who have been transformed into beasts. Regardless of gender or age, anyone who has the imprint of a beast is transformed. Even hunters.

"Huh, huh... ! What on earth did you do?…!"

Lee Yong-wan resisted by scratching the black eagle engraving on his neck with his fingernails. He instinctively realized that this was degenerating him..

Hildir twists the corner of his mouth as if to mock that meaningless resistance..

"Oh my love. It's no use resisting. The engraving period is not long, but in the end, it is only a matter of time.."

It's not just Lee Yong-wan. Ha Yu-ri, Hwang Geum-cheol, Hwang Yeon-ha... And the hunters of the coalition attack team all left their mark, and they could not stop themselves from gradually losing their senses..

When he finally reaches the point where he can't resist, Hildir laughs and claps his hands..

"Now then, kill those damn Grail Knights and knights. You have to start over from scratch. I don't know how I traveled to so many worlds and couldn't even kill one of them.."

At Hildir's command, the S-class hunters rushed towards Geobrick. Geobrick was in the midst of cutting down tribal warriors and demonic beasts..

"Peel off the imprinted ‘skin’! that's the weakness!"

Even in the midst of this chaos, Geobrick split the bones of the charging warrior. Bursting bone pain and scattering pieces of meat. Geobrick believed he was dead, but that wasn't the case..

-Grrrrrrgh!

The imprint on the nape of the neck changes the body and soon swells up like a large bear. Geo Brick saw this and widened his eyes..

"The soul would have been destroyed by the holy law.?"

Geobrick's one-handed hammer is not just any hammer. In itself, it is a holy relic that contains the holy power of Geobrick's entire life, and it is a religious tool that constantly absorbs the holy power and enforces the holy law of 'destruction'..

Like other Holy Grail Knights' holy swords and holy spears, Geobrick's hammer also destroys the soul of the killed target..

Moreover, the brand of the beast god engraved on the body of a barbarian warrior must disappear as soon as it touches it..

However, as soon as it died, it began to turn into an animal. Evidence that there is a problem with the law.

-Woooooo…!

I kick and break the shin of a huge bear charging at me. Cheolwoong, who collapsed, died from a hammer blow that ripped open his engraving..

"Phew…!"

We must quickly retrieve the knights and soldiers. If even you, the Holy Grail Knight, do not use the Holy Law properly, this battlefield will force an endless war of attrition..

Although I am anxious, I have to send a dispatch to the kingdom and get help from other Holy Grail Knights..

"everyone retreat──"

It was then. A shadow rushing towards Geobrick. A two-handed hammer as tall as a man strikes Geobrick..

Geobrick quickly blocked it with his shield..

"Big…!"

be heavy. Geobrick knew who struck the hammer. A leader of mercenaries who possessed quite useful power. He is giving a glossy look with the imprint of the dark hero engraved on it. He is not only that..

"krr…!"

A warrior in hand armor who rushes in quickly and delivers a heavy body blow. An impact force far exceeding that of the previous one is transmitted through the armor. Almost at the same time, Junjok, who was slow to react, stabbed me from behind with a blade..

-Kyaang!

He hurriedly lowered his head and barely managed to block the dagger's blow with his armor. It was Hayuri with the engraving of a white wolf..

-Papa Park!

A bunch of arrows shooting fiercely. Even though 90% of the damage is blocked by the holy method, it was a rapid fire attack so massive that it cannot be ignored..

Lee Yong-wan, an S-class hunter from the Phoenix Guild. He is aware of even the slightest gap in Geobrick's armor and is firing rapidly..

Four S-class hunters surrounded Geobrick. Even stronger than before.

"You guys… It looks like it has the imprint of that heresy on it.."

Stupid things. What kind of ignorant bastards are they that they believe in a cult that worships beast gods?.

All of those crazy scum should be killed, skinned, and incinerated..

"If he was just tempted by wealth, killing him normally would have been the end of the story. However, if you have engraved the beast god's imprint, I have no intention of considering your souls.!"

Geobrick was furious and decided to destroy these foolish souls. Although he doubted whether he would be able to use the Holy Law properly now,.

-Kyaang!

A huge two-handed hammer is swung. The most threatening attack... If you block it with a shield, a fierce boxer will attack through the gap. The archer’s check is a bonus..

I couldn't just focus on the three people in front. If there was even a little gap, Ha Yu-ri would instantly grab her back and stab her with her dagger..

-Wow!

The golden iron engraved with Cheolwoong's engraving is deeply embedded in the dagger and attacks Geobrick, who is confused..

His symbol, the golden hammer, is emitting magical power and is about to strike the greatest blow..

"Don't look down on me, you insolent things.!!"

It was then. Geobrick threw down his shield and swung his hammer with all his might. The golden hammer and Geobrick's hammer collide, and in the next moment, the golden hammer shatters..

"Know the subject, menial things.!"

The next moment, the swung hammer struck Golden Iron in the chest. Golden iron falling and rolling on the floor.

"Phew…!"

In order to counter Hwang Geum-cheol's killing blow, Ha Yu-ri, Hwang Yeon-ha, and Yong-wan Lee were allowed to attack. But even so, the Holy Grail Knight Geobrick recovers on his own and stands quietly..

Geobrick glanced around. The situation is never good.

Even from the holes where they were crushed by the first divine punishment, <Earth Crushing>, corpses are climbing out like beasts..

If all the barbarians in this area were capable of being turned into beasts, a single knight corps would not be able to endure it..

'Even if it means burning this body, I will send the survivors to the royal capital.!'

At that time, when Geobrick was determined to be imprisoned, dozens of beasts rushed at him..

"In Lion Heart... ! Glory be to you!!"

A golden knight falling from the sky. A Pegasus rider who struck down a huge iron warrior and a wild boar with his holy spear in one go..

Was there another owner of Pegasus on this battlefield besides himself? Geobrick naturally looked at him..

"Who are you??"

The golden man answered his question..

"Jim is the lion-hearted king. Guardian of the Holy Grail and representative of the pantheon. Leon Dragonia Lionheart."
