Immortal King vs Hero Party (1)
A contaminated warrior with dark blue blood all over his body, demons attacked him from all directions..
“Wow!”
“Shut up! gagging!”
Everyone's faces hardened when they saw their misery..
Not only did the demons completely lose their senses, their bodies were already half undead, but in return, their strength was strengthened to the point where it could not even be compared to before..
“···We can't delay any longer. Let's go with all our might.”
Immediately after Heinrich, who was in the lead, finished speaking, “Blessing: Holy Sword” was activated, and the beautiful holy sword that emerged from his hand gave off a brilliant light..
At the same time, unprecedented power came to his body, and in an instant, all his abilities reached their limit..
Wow!—
Simply speaking, it is the glorious light of God that forcibly elevates a person who has not yet reached transcendence to the pinnacle of humanity.).
It also affected several skills such as “Great Blessing: Knight of Light” and “Blessing: Strong Body”..
The aura that had been gently swaying around his body burned violently and spread to those who followed him..
“Oh... this is?”
“Oooooot—! Follow the warrior!”
“Peaceful rest to our poor brothers.!”
Even though he didn't use any large-scale holy techniques, he was accustomed to using the holy sword and scattered a wide-range buff that encompassed the entire battlefield just by being there..
Not only does it provide mental support to eliminate fear and boost morale, but also increases actual combat power, including increased physical ability..
This was also one of the reasons why the existence of a warrior was revered..
one chosen by god.
The hope and light of humanity.
The death squad chased away the oncoming demons and followed the hero Heinrich in order, delving into the city center engulfed in darkness..
“Misty. Are you really okay??”
“···I can't be the only one now, putting others in this situation. However, it won't be a hindrance, so don't worry..”
Misty, who was in the center of the formation and had difficulty answering the saintess's question, cast a spell again while holding a ritual tool made of bones and feathers..
Although I was already exhausted and my lifespan was decreasing in real time, I was still able to do enough to assist in activating the imprints engraved on the warriors..
Riesta let out a small sigh when she saw that she was overexerting herself..
But now it was impossible to stop it..
It's for everyone's benefit if you do your best during times when you only have to worry..
“Dear Lord. Give your creatures, the lambs, the strength to stand up again when they are tired and to stand against injustice..”
The holy law activated along with the saint's prayer enveloped everyone..
They moved forward at high speed thanks to several layers of overlapping buffs..
The goal is a large building in the center of the city that gushes out into the dark abyss even at this moment..
It was Baltheon's residence and the base where the Immortal King coiled his coils..
***
If the hero party gave their all, it wasn't that difficult to reach the goal point..
Even though it is a situation where not only demons but also undead who seem to have been summoned from immortality are constantly rushing in..
In addition, the evil energy spread throughout the city is constantly giving them strength..
Because I couldn't stop them at this level..
However, they moved forward step by step, conserving as much strength as possible..
Of course, that alone was overwhelming compared to the others..
“Horia, Equistin.”
With a small whisper from high elf Lydia Granwood, an arrow imbued with the spirit of fire and wind was shot, turning the entire area into a sea of fire..
“Thunder Buster!”
Isea's spell at the end of the chant pierced the darkness covering the sky, and a spear of lightning struck the ground..
“Hmm!”
The spears of Zios were thrown out with great enthusiasm, exploding the heads of the attacking enemies all at once..
“Hahahaha!”
Those that hit Harley's body, which was running like a bulldozer, bounced in all directions like bowling pins hit by a bowling ball..
Once the warrior party broke through the front, it was the southern warriors' job to penetrate the space, block the enemy's reinforcements, and open the way..
Please help the protagonists of this fight, who will soon face the Immortal King, reach their destination with as much strength as possible..
“Push it out! Now the notice is not far away!”
“Hehehe!”
“Even if it can't help, it can't be a hindrance. This is our land, open the way with your lives.!”
The weapons of the warriors were all trapped in the bodies of the demons, who had become stronger than monsters..
However, demons who burn down to the last drop of their vitality do not die easily even if their heads are split open, and in the process, the damage to the warriors is steadily accumulating..
“Sigh! Hehehe!”
“Ah—sleep in peace now, brother. I'll follow along soon..”
[Wow!—!]
In addition, the army of undead strengthened by the abyss continued endlessly..
Southern warriors were literally paving the way to the center with their blood..
‘···You are very determined, Hans. How can they turn humans into expendable items like this? How far are you going to fall?.’
Heinrich, who used their sacrifice as a stepping stone to move forward only looking ahead, finally gritted his teeth when he saw his goal in front of him..
Holding it tightly and swinging the holy sword filled with anger,.
Warchief Baltheon forcibly injected madness into his warriors for war, turning them into 'berserkers'..
Just like when Harley first absorbed madness, that alone probably caused an explosive increase in physical abilities..
The difference was that not only were they stripped of control of their bodies, but they were also modified to strictly obey Baltheon's commands..
Still, there was a possibility that it could be restored somehow, but Hans's 'death', which was additionally injected later, took away even the slightest possibility of recovery..
Thanks to the madness that had already consumed their bodies, they did not become completely undead, but in reality, those demons were as good as already dead..
‘Additionally, the abyss spreading in the air is also a problem. It is said that the concentration is still low and the warriors who have received Riesta's blessing are holding on without difficulty, but I don't know what will happen if more time passes..’
The subject of the abyss and the undead army that is currently spreading was Hans..
If you defeat him... no, even if you can't defeat him, if you can interfere, things will be much better than they are now..
After all, the best way to reduce damage was to reach him as quickly as possible..
‘Right away like this···!’
but.
After all, things in this world do not go as planned..
The central building they were targeting.
Now completely covered in black energy, in front of the main gate passageway that can be seen as the entrance to the other world..
“Paha! Yes, you have come this far..”
A demon slightly smaller than Harley, covered in purple and black stains, blocked their path..
Next to them are a number of demons who are emitting more energy than those who attacked them so far..
“Baltheon···.”
Misty, who saw him, stiffened her pale face from excessive use of magic and muttered lowly..
“Hehehe, Misty. I thought he would run away and live like a rat, but I didn't know he would show up on his own without fear like this..”
“···Is this what you wanted? To sacrifice not only oneself but also all those who follow to the Immortal King? Ha, they said it was for the glory of Calcos. As expected, it was just nonsense..”
That was the justification of Baltheon, the former warchief..
The idea is to unite the forces of the South and advance northward to escape this barren land and take over the rich land..
In the process, they oppressed the tribes that wanted peace and pushed too hard on the coercive policy of emphasizing war, and were eventually ousted..
“Alas, this is an accident that I did not expect. Originally, the plan was to take advantage of the continent's chaos to swallow up the southern part of the empire and enter into negotiations again..”
He shrugged his shoulders indifferent to her argument, and then turned his head to quietly look at the demon warriors encroached into the abyss and the undead army that was continuously being replenished in the passage behind..
“But, this isn't too bad either..”
Then, a somewhat twisted smile appeared on his face..
“Southern part of the empire? No, if the Immortal King and this strongest army work together, they can not just end in the south, but the entire empire! It means that we can destroy the Azerion Empire and open the era of the Chalcos Empire.!”
A maddening glow blazed from the blood-red pupils in the center of the black eyes..
Burning the twisted beliefs and stubbornness that already have no humanity left as fuel..
“···That's crazy. Even if we join hands with the Immortal King who wants to turn the world into a land of death, all that remains is destruction..”
“No, he is different from the previous Immortal King. That's a fact that even the saint there knows. Wasn’t it because he knew that that he suggested that ridiculous bet in the first place?!”
For that reason, even though he could have fought to the end, risking imprisonment, he ultimately chose to cooperate with the Immortal King..
That was his secret wish for decades, and it was his wish that he longed for even as he entered into the oath of reverse heaven and opened the abyss..
“Sigh—after wiping out those damn imperial squires. This Baltheon, this very body, becomes the first emperor of the Chalcos Empire.···!”
However, his narcissistic and impassioned words were.
“Wow, that's a lot of talk..”
“What?”
It wasn't enough that it suddenly cut off with the words of the person who interrupted.—.
Kwaang—!
“Ugh!”
With the impact, he too flew like a missile, pierced through the walls and buildings in the middle, and disappeared beyond..
Cooung— boom! Kwaaang—!
All that is left behind is a series of loud explosions coming from afar..
At that unexpected situation, the puzzled gazes of not only the humans but also the demons standing next to them were all focused in one place..
The place where Baltheon was standing and giving a speech just a moment ago..
Now, to where Harley is with her fist stretched out with a sullen expression on her face..
“Ah, that! I don't care about the empire or anything, so let's just have a fight.!”
Next, he looked around, raising the corners of his mouth with an expression of excitement..
Towards the demons who seemed nervous at the sudden action and prepared for battle all at once..
‘Good good.’
Warchief Baltheon, who accepted the abyss and reached transcendence, is enough to satisfy you, but it also comes with three ultimate warriors who are stronger than before and a dozen demon warriors of a slightly lower level as bonuses..
What kind of feast is this?!
“Phew... I think this could be quite fun.?”
A wicked smile appeared on Harley's lips..
「After completing the “Ultimate Evolutionary Life Form” and reaching transcendence, he has not had a single satisfactory fight..
At best, the only thing you can do with the warrior party is harass Hans' weak subordinates and beat up the white giants that come out occasionally..
What was Harley’s purpose for coming here in the first place??
Wasn't it because I wanted a more brutal, bloody struggle with flesh and blood splattering??
In that sense, the prey in front of him seemed quite capable of satisfying his desires..
There was one thing that had to be prerequisite for a truly satisfying fight..
“Hey, leave this to me and go quickly. You have to hurry?”
Puddeuk- kigiik!
Pussyik—
The sound of metal being twisted came from Harley's heated body, and steam was released from the combustion of an enormous amount of energy..
He blocked the passage that Baltheon was blocking, and slowly turned his head to look at the warrior party with burning eyes..
I'll take care of this, as if I'm asking you to take care of the rest..
Of course, the meaning of that gaze was completely different from that..
‘These guys are mine! Because I already applied saliva! Since not one person can give in, get out of here quickly.!’
Even Heinrich was looking at him with a shocked expression..
“Yes, yes noooooom—! How dare you—!”
Baltheon's angry roar erupted from afar..
With a terrible wave that harmonizes with the surrounding abyss and destroys all around..
“Oh, go quickly! Oh, and it would be better for the girl over there to get away from here with her friends. Because I can’t take responsibility for what happens next..”
However, Misty, who was quick to notice, was already in a hurry to retreat after gathering the warriors..
Heinrich also sighed and entered the building where Hans was with the warrior party.···.
“I'll kill you—!”
Wow!—!
At the same time, Harley came face to face with Baltheon, who had already come close to her..
“oh! That's great! While you're at it, tell your friends there to join in! Kahahahaha—!”
With a brighter smile than ever before.
***
Squeak— Squeak—
“Ugh, Harley, what is he doing again? I think it will be a problem in a different way than Hans..”
Even though Hugo complained, he continued to train his body in the home gym according to his usual routine..
There was a lot of commotion going on every day in Outerica, but in Earth time, it had only been two days since the main body fell asleep..
Of course, there was no incident of this kind here, so he had nothing to do other than check the condition of the main body and move around as usual..
‘Harris is the type of person who just sleeps and doesn't even get involved in meetings. Harley has no idea what kind of accident she might get into..’
What do you do when an accident is shared?.
In the first place, while doing something, I move my body without any foreshadowing, let alone thinking..
It was Harley who lived out the saying, ‘If your body is bad, your head will suffer’ with his whole body..
‘Oh, by the way, it seems like the situation is slowly becoming dangerous. When does the body wake up? How could I have spent at least one day safely?···.’
That time when Hugo was exercising and sighing anxiously..
In one of the most heavily guarded bedrooms in a mansion covered with all kinds of security,.
wiggle—
The fingers of the person who was sleeping as if dead on the bed moved very slightly..
As if foreshadowing something to happen soon..
