Immortal King vs Hero Party (2)

I only went through one door, but a rush of air of a completely different quality from that outside came rushing in..

As expected, the central building in Beorsen was no longer an ordinary space..

‘···It's unpleasant.’

Heinrich frowned and looked around..

Not only was the wide, tall space, which could hardly be called the inside of the building, completely filled with darkness, but a dirty, stuffy, and sticky aura enveloped those who entered it..

Like an abyss pit trying to drag them into an endless bottom..

And in the center of that space.

he was.

[It's been a while since this happened. Champion Heinrich St. Randguard.]

The culprit of not only this situation but also the tribulations occurring across the continent..

···And although he has the opposite tendency to Heinrich, he is also another side of him..

“Immortal King, Hannibal Strauss.”

It was the moment when the warrior party finally encountered the immortal king..

***

‘immortal king.’

Puzzle—

A member of the warrior party, Geos Kalkin, grabbed the spear pole tightly..

‘at las.’

It was a moment I had been desperately waiting for..

Has it now been a year since the disaster that day? No, it hasn't even been a year yet?

I feel like it was a long time ago... but I don't really remember..

‘As expected, it was a good thing I joined the death squad..’

Otherwise, it would not have been easy to have the opportunity to meet the Immortal King in person..

It would have been impossible to directly engage weapons..

Of course, while defending against the Immortal King's attack, he killed many warlocks who were involved in the incident..

He always targeted warlocks first and did not hesitate to take and torture the survivors after the battle was over..

Heinrich, who knew about Zios' situation, also tolerated his actions without saying anything..

Considering his just nature, it must have been inconvenient, but it was also something for which I was truly grateful..

[Kkekekeke— This is really fun.······.]

“Immortal King! now······!”

The voices of the Immortal King and the Hero were coming and going from afar, but they did not reach Zios's ears at all..

In his blurred gaze, memories from a long time ago emerged vividly as if they happened yesterday..

-“Uhuhu—what do you think, Geos? Now I'm ready to become a father?”

My pregnant wife, Anna, lovingly stroking her belly..

The two, who had no relatives and only had each other, had a child, and eventually they became three..

-“oh my god! so cute. Whose daughter is this, so she looks like an angel when she sleeps??”

I remember that child who came out into the world and couldn't even open his eyes properly and was twitching..

-“Hehehehe—!”

-“What are you going to do if your baby makes you cry, Geos? Don't you have to joke around in moderation? Yes, it's okay, Nia. mom is here.”

I remember the moment when I was bad at dealing with children and always ended up failing..

-“Daddy Daddy! Look at this, this! Hahaha—!”

The child who couldn't even speak grew up quickly, and I remember the bright smile that came up to me..

-“Then, I will go slowly while dating my daughter, and my father, who is the permanent owner, can go first and work alone. right~?”

-“Right~? Hehe! Dad, I'll go quickly, so don't cry and just wait? Understand?”

-“This guy, is he the kind of person who would cry because his dad is so lonely? I'll just be holed up in a corner and digging in the ground..”

-“ah! I really think so! Hehehe!”

···I still clearly remember the moment we said our last goodbyes..

Geos raised one hand and slowly stroked the deep scar on his chest..

After hearing the sad news, I desperately suppressed tears while squeezing my heart until my hands were covered in blood and my muscles were torn to pieces..

To keep my daughter's last words to wait and not cry.

Of course, even if he was a master-level knight, even that didn't go as planned..

Still, I haven't shed a single tear since that day. Wouldn't you please take care of that??

‘After all, you know me so well.’

Additionally, it wasn't wrong to say that he would just stay in a corner and sell the land..

Now, I set a goal and went out, but it was also true that I stayed in my house for a while and wasted my time in a daze..

He laughed bitterly, grabbed his spear again and lowered his posture like a wild beast about to be hunted..

With your eyes focused on the culprit of all this, you imprint the other person's every move in your mind so that you can suffocate them at any time..

‘But... I'm sorry. I don't want to wait any longer.’

A fierce fire burned through my veins..

Burning with sadness and despair as fuel—a fireworks named revenge and anger..

‘No matter how long I wait, if you can't come, I'll have to go..’

Because the heat was so strong, a distorted smile appeared on the lips of Geos, who had already turned to ash..

And soon as he had waited.

The fight between the hero party and the immortal king has begun..

***

Hiss hiss—!

Sigh! Well done!

Heinrich raced towards the Immortal King and cut down the serpents of the abyss that attacked him from all directions..

The holy sword "Blessing: Light Sword" was nothing short of a natural enemy to the Abyss, but it was endlessly flocking in, paying no heed to even as it continued to be cut down and disappeared..

‘Ugh, the situation is more serious than I thought..’

Fortunately, there was some breathing room thanks to the continued support from Geos a little behind with the refraction window..

He gritted his teeth while using “Blessing: Increase” to further increase his divine power..

In fact, Henry's conversation with the Immortal King was not that important..

Because it was just an ordinary battle between a demon lord and a hero..

What was really important was the meeting within the brain that had to take place implicitly..

I thought that if it came to a face-to-face situation like this, Hans would reluctantly lift the barrier blocking communication again.···.

‘It means you have no intention of giving in..’

Even now that the battle had begun, there was no intention of opening a window for dialogue..

I have no intention of backing down from here. I'll do whatever I want, so if you're going to back down, you can too..

It was no different from that kind of one-sided notification..

‘hans···.’

Kwaaaang—! bang! Kwakwang—!

At that time, the arrows fired by Lydia, who was with the group from behind, shook the Immortal King's defenses in succession..

Arrows made from the dry branches of the world tree that Howard was using as firewood rained down like a bomb, carrying not only the power of the spirit but also the divine power of Riesta..

[Tsk, you're bothering me..]

As soon as the muttering ends.

The darkness that was filling the space stirred and sharpened all at once to cover the party members in the rear..

“Lord—protect us from injustice.!”

At the same time as Riesta's prayer, a sphere of light spread out, pushing away the darkness in the area and protecting the party..

Although she was still struggling with the pressure coming from all directions, she was also a saint, so she would not collapse that easily..

Pajik—! crunchy—!

And in the space around Isea next to it,.

The spark that started right after the start of the war and has been repeated several times until now has been sparked again..

“Ugh, in this hectic time, you still have time to worry about this? What kind of ridiculous monster is this?···!”

She was sweating and chewing her lips..

As soon as the magical power gathered around at an incredible speed formed a structure, it repeatedly collapsed with sparks..

The reversal of magic, which is said to be used only by high-ranking wizards against lowly subordinates, was being used against her, the archmage..

And that continued for dozens of times while dealing with others..

[It's laughable.]

It didn't even end there.

Grumble—Kwaang!

The high-level black magic was cast without her having time to do anything, and the black flames of hell struck the barrier of light that the saintly woman maintained..

“Ugh!”

At the impact, Riesta, who was maintaining the protective shield as well as the blessings on the party members' bodies, let out a low groan..

While interfering with the magic of others, he himself uses high-level magic without any hesitation..

Lee Se-ah gritted her teeth and focused her mind again on the absurd situation..

Regardless of whether there is any result or not, if you let go, your opponent will have that much leisure to pour down high-level magic like rain..

But even though everyone is trying so hard.

The damage was gradually increasing on the bodies of the warriors on the front lines, and the burden was increasing..

[Haha! Why do you do that? Warrior? If you want something, get it yourself.!]

The light sword activated with the Holy Sword is the best even for the Immortal King..

It's nice to be able to intercept numerous incoming attacks, approach them, and cut down even the hard defense shield like radish, but the opponent was not a scarecrow who would hit every attack..

‘···It's annoying. If there had been a Harley, would it have been a little different??’

Even if you somehow succeed in removing the shield, you will be caught in the ensuing counterattack, and the distance will increase again several times..

However, he could not stop until he dealt a fatal blow to the Immortal King, and the damage he was forced to take in the process continued to accumulate..

‘Even if it looks like this, it won't be a big problem right now since he's a paladin. However, it is difficult for attacks mixed with abyss to overlap excessively..’

No, I had doubts about whether my colleagues would be able to survive until then..

The fact that he has been able to approach several times so far was possible thanks to Lydia's supporting fire, Riesta's divine power support, and Geos who intercepted the attacks aimed at him..

‘In addition, thanks to Isea, Hans' magic bombardment was reduced, which was quite helpful..’

If Harley was here, it could have really been a hit..

Well, if that were the case, Hans might have summoned some of the executives still remaining in the immortality or something..

Wow—

Heinrich shook off his regret and tightly grasped the holy sword again..

Now was my chance to deal with Hans alone..

I don't know if what I've been doing until now is a habit or just arrogance..

‘It's not the time to skimp on means..’

If we can deal a fatal blow to him now and make him calm for a few days, we will be able to buy time until his body wakes up..

Heinrich swung the holy sword, generously using “Blessing: Leap” that he had saved for a decisive moment..

Sincerely, to split this fucking skull.

***

Throughout the fight, Geos calmly analyzed what he could and could not do..

The refracting spear he received from Chehai was the ultimate in Auror operation, allowing him to jump through space and hit the desired location, but it was not truly without any limitations..

‘My attacks do not reach beyond the Immortal King's magic barrier..’

In fact, this was a problem that applied not only to the Immortal King but also to all protection methods above a certain level, so there was nothing particularly new about it..

I don't know if he has reached transcendence, but he is still far from reaching it..

‘Even if you aim for the moment when the shield is destroyed... it probably won't have much of an effect..’

Geos, who was persistent in analyzing his opponents, was able to detect the secret surrounding the heart of the Immortal King based on his intuition about the accumulated space using the refraction window..

‘An incredible level of spatial distortion surrounding the heart. There is no point in simply deflecting the tip of the spear and stabbing it there. What if we intervene in the space itself and strike beyond it?.’

And that was an art at a level impossible for the current Geos..

‘···In the normal way..’

Of course, the tricks he learned were anything but ordinary..

The very fact that a being who could not ascend to transcendence could intervene in space with only an auror was the height of extraordinaryness..

And the technology that was created by Chehai and was close to 'superpower using aura' was.

Through Geos, which inherited it, it was developed into something closer to 'Auror Biggie'..

“Phew—.”

He swung his spear and struck away the dark magic coming from around him, taking a deep breath and observing the surrounding situation..

It’s shaky—! Pajik! Pajik—!

Several sparks flew in succession from Isea's side..

She, too, seemed to have developed an aura, and was attempting to build multiple magics simultaneously by gathering the enormous magical power that was her specialty..

It was a risky attempt that could have led to a runaway, but thanks to this, the frequency with which the Immortal King used magic dropped significantly..

Lydia and Riesta also continued to support Henry..

How many arrows did they have? The arrows flying one after another pierced the snakes of the abyss..

The divine power emanating from the body of the saint, who can now be seen as light itself, burned up the darkness everywhere and gave them strength..

Geos' gaze turned to the front again..

Heinrich clings desperately across space from time to time, and the Immortal King responds leisurely..

There was no hope in this case either..

If I were not careful, both the hero and the saint could have lost their lives on this spot..

And it was a really, really dangerous... crisis for the world..

‘Yeah, I mean... this is something that can't be helped..’

A subtle smile appeared on Geos's lips..

As if willing to do something.

‘immortal king.’

And Geos Calkin, a master-level knight and Count of the Kingdom of Lesque,.

‘Even if I do this, I probably won't be able to kill you.’

Without hesitation, twist, squeeze, and pull out the auror hole in the body..

“Lou—cough!—!”

Based on that, he extracted a ray of blood-red aura that was an accumulation of his life, status, and karma..

‘Still, this is going to be quite painful..’

Just after the warrior's holy sword sliced ​​through the shield..

At the same time as the spear of Zios was thrown out—the tip of the spear pierced the space..
