Chapter 88
88Mars Relic Convoy(3)
Leon was very annoyed by the Orc looking down at Leon while riding the Bonecrusher..
He has an authority that makes you bow down and pray just by meeting him, but the orc just looks down on him with an arrogant gaze..
"A beast that should crawl on the ground like a bug... How dare you look down on the king?."
The king's anger cannot be relieved by the king's hand. Leon first looked for a knight who would win glory..
"Holy Grail Knight Zereah! Bring me supplies to that cheeky beast.!"
"I will gladly offer his supply to Your Majesty.."
The knight, who appeared to be old, bowed his knees as if trying to help. And at that very moment, transcendental leg force leaps his body into the sky and guides him to the top of the canyon..
Kim Jae-hyuk and Han Su-ho were scared when they saw that, and the soldiers cheered.
The Oldest Grail Knight.
But the most challenging saint.
"Zereah…!"
"Zereah…!"
"Twilight Zereah!"
"The one who challenged the thunderstorm!"
"A knight of glory who rose from the lowest place, from the lowest place.!"
The dark knight takes flight, receiving applause from the soldiers..
Looking at the Holy Grail Knights soaring with enormous majesty, it was clear why they were saints favored by the gods and humanity's strongest weapons..
* * * *
Orc shaman Krakan loaded his spear with a spell for the next attack..
Gokrok's shamans are famous for crushing their opponents with cunning and destructive spells, unlike orcs..
Krakan planned to safely deal with the humans in the air, out of reach of their attacks. Until something erupts from the ground…….
-bang!
By the time I realized that the mole was a person, it was already too late..
"Ugh…!"
No matter how much of a shaman he was, an orc was an orc. When Krakan instinctively pulled the reins, the flying beast's body twisted..
-Wow!
As a horrifying vision passed by, Krakan witnessed it..
The shape of a person who passed the place where he was just a moment ago at very high speed..
"Do animals that should crawl on the ground invade the sky where the king roams?."
An elderly knight stretching out his hand even though his attack missed. The one reaching out was Bonecrusher, growling fiercely..
-Grumble…!
Then, Bonecrusher's eyelids, which had been furiously purring just a moment ago, closed heavily. Of course she had no choice but to stop flapping her wings and fall..
"This guy…!"
Falling Orc Shaman. Even though it was falling towards the orcs at the mouth of the canyon, Zereah was willing to pursue it for the sake of the supplies he had promised the king..
-Kwaang!
Bonecrusher, who fell from the sky, died when his head exploded while he was asleep. Zereah rolled on the floor and chased after the crawling Krakan..
"Ughhh…!"
Krakan struggles to crawl on the floor and runs away from the cold gaze he feels behind his back..
he became impatient.
"Do it! I mean kill him.!"
Krakan turned around and pointed at Zereah..
An army of tens of thousands of Orcs and barbarians gathered to attack the convoy. Every single one of their ravenous gazes is a reinforcement that Krakan can mobilize..
"You will regret coming alone! I have an army.!"
Despite looking ugly and injured, Krakan did not lose confidence. As he said, thousands of orcs came forward and the barbarians were transformed into beasts..
The army is too much for just one person. Even this is not everything.
Orcs and beasts filled the ground. Black eagles decorate the sky. Zereah frowns at the hostility hurled at this enormous army..
"To mobilize this number of beasts? It's definitely an oddity.."
Orcs and barbarian cultists are common enemies in Lionheart, but that doesn't mean they are on good terms..
In the first place, orcs are ignorant beasts that are just good enough if they can fight. If they attack the barbarians, they might cooperate.?
something is definitely wrong.
"Hehehe… No matter how great a human being is, he can't do this much alone.──?!!"
Krakan suddenly realized that it was too dark before his eyes..
Even though it is still broad daylight, the sky is dark as if immersed in darkness. I thought it was a large number of black eagles blocking out the sunlight.…….
'That's not it! This is different…!'
The hairs all over my body stand up. I can feel in my skin that I will die if I even touch that thing..
"A lot, a lot."
Zereah's low voice sounds ominous. Black eagles, unable to avoid the purple fog that covered the sky, are falling down..
-Keeeeeeee…!
The repairs are falling with a sigh. Great sinners who were not forgiven for existing in the heavenly realm paid the price with death..
"God of dreams and death. Lady of Death. I look for a knight who has completed his task.."
The purple fog spreads in all directions as if swept by the wind..
Animals that realized their death just by touching it fled, but they could not be faster than the wind..
"Death to those who do not believe, a nightmare that cannot be awakened.──"
A merciless massacre that did not even constitute a battle. Krakan shouted urgently..
"Oh, it's a golem! We're responding with a golem.!"
Indeed, the shaman Naburangi. Did you realize that the fog is the fog of death that takes away life?.
Contrary to Krakan's struggling voice, the rock golems that the shamans quickly built made their way through the fog with dull steps..
An army made entirely of golems.
Krakan smiled triumphantly, but it was soon replaced by anxiety. why? Why does that old man look at an army of golems this size without paying attention??
"Do you know why the Holy Grail Knight is called the strongest creature on earth??"
He jumped towards the slowly approaching golem. He slashed his sword towards a huge chunk of rock..
"That's because we alone surpass the legions."
Tons of rock chunks were cut like tofu.
* * * *
Caw, caw… The eerie sound of birds echoing in the canyon at night. The power of the hand that catches Koo Dae-seong, who inadvertently raises his head, and gently pushes him down..
"Be careful. Most of the nocturnal beasts here are demonic beasts.."
"Sorry, sorry."
Zereah, a minor-aged in-house attendant, smiled kindly at Koo Dae-seong..
"You may not know. Because you are still young."
They were hiding in the bushes. Not only that, but even the horses are lying down and holding their breath. Daesung and Hari were forced to sleep..
"It was fortunate that there was a bush nearby.."
While I was hiding in a bush that was up to a man's waist, an orc riding a wild boar wandered around..
It's a dangerous distance where if an orc approaches just a few steps, their camouflage will be revealed. At that moment, the purple fog spread by Zereah enveloped the orc..
"Uh, um… ! Uh, here……."
The orcs and boars who were searching with wide-open eyes wander about with unfocused eyes, as if they are somehow drunk..
"No, no, no……."
The orc turned the boar's head and headed in the other direction. Hari, who had been holding his breath, let out a sigh..
"Everything, I'm glad."
For the first time in a while, everyone looked at Zereah with relief..
Zereah, who had taken off his armor and tied it to his horse to reduce the clanking sound, led the group with a relaxed voice..
"There's a cave I saw nearby. Let's go there and hide.."
Then, Jereah heads towards the sleeping Hari and Daesung’s words. The other horses were able to reduce their sounds with just a muzzle, but these two horses did not receive such training, so they were put to sleep using Zereah's holy method..
Zereah picks up one of the horses and carries it on his shoulder..
"Lord Zereah. We can do it. How precious is your body?……."
When Zereah takes the initiative, the female knight dissuades her with a perplexed expression. She felt burdened by having him, the Holy Grail Knight, do all the chores..
"It's okay, Sir Stella. Now I am just a knight, not a Holy Grail Knight. Be comfortable with me."
In wartime situations, acolyte knights receive orders from knights of war or knights of the kingdom. In that sense, the person in command is Zereah, who nails Stella..
In the end, Zereah carried the horse until he reached the cave..
"I will block the cave from now on. Please step back."
After putting down his horse in the cave, Zereah knelt down on one knee and prayed. It was a prayer to Demera, the goddess of earth and abundance..
-Gooooooo…!
Plants cover the cave in response to the knight's prayer. Since it is a native plant of this land, the entrance to the cave will not be discovered or look awkward..
"amazing……."
As they watched, Hari and Daesung shared the same sentiments..
Zereah uses various sacred sacred laws at the right time and place. If it weren't for him, the chase team might have been caught a long time ago..
"Chuckle, it's just old man's catch.."
Zereah smiled kindly and headed toward the back of the cave. Naturally tie up the horses and prepare for camping..
"Lord Zereah. May I ask you to keep the sacred object??"
Stella, the red-haired kingdom knight who had been trying to dissuade Zereah a little while ago, handed over the box of sacred relics she was carrying..
Zereah shakes his head at the long box, which is probably 1.5 meters long..
"Sir Stella, don’t you know? In times of war, the Kingdom Knights of the Kingdom Army have the authority to command rather than the wandering Acolyte Knights. Don't force me to exceed my authority."
"However, sir. Sir is the Holy Grail Knight chosen by the divinity of dreams and death.."
"It would be difficult to attribute to me the achievements of my future self. What's in front of you is just a challenger. Never completed the quest."
"Okay……."
Daesung cautiously asked Stella, who was in trouble. It's because I didn't understand it in broad daylight..
"Sorry to interrupt, but future Lord Zerea... What do you mean by the past Lord Zereah??"
"ah… It might be unfamiliar to knights who have just started their wandering journey. Lord Han Hari… Did you say Lord Koo Dae-seong??"
Stella and Zereah tilted their heads at the unusual name of the two people, who they mistakenly thought were knights of pilgrimage, but only for a moment..
Regardless of their origins, their ‘clear divinity’ was proof that they were brothers..
"It's just that the goddess gave me an undeserved favor.."
The Holy Grail Knight of Dreams and Death, Twilight Zereah.
His endless challenges were famous not only in the kingdom but also on the continent..
The foolish Zereara is the one who endlessly challenged the bards who sang dishonorable words..
When he finally drank the holy water from the Holy Grail and became a Holy Grail Knight, Fle gave him special powers in honor of his great journey..
The Law of Inherence <I am destined to win in the end in an endless dream..>
15The unique method that symbolizes his life story, where he began wandering at the age of three and dreamed of becoming a Holy Grail Knight..
It is a unique method that combines the power of dreams and death, and its ability is simple..
"Fl is recreating the past you dreamed of and summoning your alter ego into reality. Now I am eighty-five years old. It's just about time I received the quest.."
"Such a law……."
"Then the power... Isn't it dispersed??"
Jereah smiled and denied Hari's question..
"This body is nothing more than a reproduction of the past. Reproduce power without dispersing it.."
"Wow, isn’t that invincible??"
"Even if I, an acolyte knight, am strong, it is nothing compared to the power of a Holy Grail Knight. Don't expect too much."
It seems that summoning an alter ego from the past does not double your power..
-Kugoong!
A suddenly shaking gorge. A violent tremor that shakes the entire canyon. It was a time when everyone was barely able to keep their balance due to the trembling..
"What about this? this… ! avoid!"
Zereah hurriedly grabbed Hari and Daesung and threw them into the cave. At that very moment, something huge pours down from the ceiling..
-wow!
Something collided with Zereah’s sword. Amidst the dust, attacks were exchanged several times. Koo Dae-seong realized from the sound that this was an attack and not an accident..
"Lord Zereah! I will help you──Tsk.!"
In the thick dust, Stella also collided with something..
"What, what…!"
It was a time when Koo Dae-seong was rashly trying to step forward. Hari drew his sword. Soon her flames soar and form a vortex, rising toward the cave entrance..
The waves that wash away the flames and dust that burn what has been harmed. The two forces followed her wishes and swept away everything in the cave without harming any of their allies..
-Shut up!
The attackers were swept away by the vortex of fire and thrown into the wall. As the vortex that swallowed up the dust poured out of the cave, all that remained inside the cave were the figures of our allies and attackers..
"What on earth?"
Zereah threw the attacker by the nape and cut off his head. Then, everything started rolling around. Hari and Daesung held their breath when they saw that..
"monster, monster?"
2He was over a meter tall and as big as three or four bears combined, so he was not a person at all. No, it was difficult to even see it as a complete life..
Melted skin, tentacles protruding from eyeballs, a foul smell like a rotting corpse, and bizarrely shaped joints..
Strange monsters that seem to desecrate and hate life in and of itself..
-Geeeeeeeee──
Something like a chilling cry echoed deep within the cave..
