Episode 208
208fury. Maestro Volkan of Battle(15)
Chik-chiik-!
The ground touched by Crowley's hand turned into liquid..
It couldn't withstand the strong acid and started to melt..
“Unbelievable…….”
Elester looked at that and sighed..
40years ago. Because it was no different from the majesty that Crowley showed..
When you walk, when you fight, even when you breathe.
It spewed out poison without stopping..
Elester, who confirmed that the power was still there, could not help but be frustrated..
-Wow!
-Buy, save……!
People melted like water.
Even the most feared heroes couldn't avoid it..
The sight of people crawling on the floor and shouting for help was still vivid..
As if it's right in front of you!
“Master! come to your senses!”
Elester suddenly raised his head..
Lucia and Adonis stood before my eyes..
Only then did Elester come to his senses..
I shook off the ghosts of the past and returned to the present..
When Adonis saw that, his mind was confused..
“Elester, I'm sorry. If only I hadn't been caught up in his words and kept moving.…….”
Wouldn’t the results have been different from now?.
When Adonis lowered his head, Lucia immediately opened her mouth..
“Let's retreat first. Because it’s not too late to decide whether you’re right or wrong later. That guy over there is coming too.”
Cooung!
Charon flew from somewhere and landed next to them..
“Ahh! This is a person, this is a monster?”
It was natural for Lucia to be scared..
Because Charon was covered in blood all over his body..
“What about Volkan? Did you kill him??”
“……I missed it. sorry.”
“Get treatment first. Then I'll die.”
Charon roughly poured holy water and potions. He was not in a position to take care of each wound one by one..
‘Coward... … Running away.’
Volkan had destroyed the bone in the opposite direction where Charon was advancing and was hiding inside it..
They even installed a new bone in the direction Charon was coming from..
‘The strength was relatively weak, and I only had to advance about 1m further.…….’
The possibility that Volkan had prepared another defense method could not be ruled out..
Above all, since Crowley was resurrected, further fighting was impossible..
Crowley's hand would have reached much faster than the speed at which he could move 1m forward..
‘I have to avenge the rats, but…….’
If I died here, it would be like losing my chance for revenge forever..
Because of that, Charon quickly decided to retreat and had arrived at the location where Elester, Adonis, and Lucia were..
“Okay, then let's back off. I will take care of you, Master. The two ask for the people outside.”
The four men kicked the ground and left the palace..
In fact, it's embarrassing to even call it a royal palace anymore..
The roof was gaping as if it had never been there to begin with, and the pillars were empty here and there, as if teeth were missing..
It looked no different from a ruin..
And in the ruins, there was one person who shouted in victory..
“You finally woke up! Kkkkkkkk! 3 years! It was a long, long time of patience.!”
1Seconds, 5 minutes, days, months.
The time required to become undead varies in proportion to the power you had when you were alive..
‘Of course, the most important thing is the caster's ability. I have been given power; there is no doubt about my ability.…….’
The power of the corps commander is beyond the standard.
Maybe that's why it took the longest time out of all the undead transformations Volkan has done so far..
‘This is also a period that was shortened by replacing various materials, including magic stones and mystics, and the lives of warlocks..’
That's not all.
As the end neared, wasn't all the hard work almost in vain because of the empire?.
But at this moment, the preparations for turning the corps commander into an undead are complete..
“Wake up! I will stand up again as my servant.!”
Crowley slowly began to stand up..
A skeleton so large that it casts a shadow over the royal palace was created under Volkan's orders..
“Hahahahahaha!!”
It was when Volkan let out a shout of victory..
Less and less-.
“hmm?”
Something fell on Volkan's head..
Volkan picked it up and narrowed his eyes. He was the object with which he was most familiar..
‘bone?’
Were there unnecessary bones attached to Crowley's body??
It might be something like that. Because there are so many bones that you can kick your feet..
It was that moment.
Tuduk - Duduk-.
“……?”
Patter-patter-patter-patter!!
Volkan couldn't help but be scared as he looked at the sky..
Because many bones were falling off..
Even the bones…….
‘Crowley... … It's falling apart?’
While staring blankly, Crowley's huge rib fell off..
Volkan immediately cast Bone Armor to protect himself..
Kuung-! Kugugoogung Palace!
After the roar that shook the earth.
What greeted Volkan, who escaped from the main armor, was a cloud of dust that made his throat sting..
5It was the broken skull of Legion Commander Crowley..
“…….”
At the same time, an unknown force whispered to him..
‘'It's trivial'.
Volkan was given the power of a necromancer. He could talk to spirits.
Yes. The person who insulted him by calling him ‘a trivial thing’ was none other than.
“Crawley… … How dare you……!”
It was Commander Crowley..
In other words, Volkan's necromancer power is 'the power to control the soul.’.
It was a fraudulent power, but perhaps that was why the conditions that followed were not easy..
First, you had to have at least 50% of the bones of the deceased to become undead..
100%The closer you are to it, the more you can use your raw power..
Collecting bones. This was the first step in becoming undead..
‘Then there is time to talk to the soul..’
The other party is given ‘time to choose’.
Will you fight as a soldier of Volkan, or will you live in eternal rest?.
Most souls naturally choose ‘eternal rest’.
But Volkan had one privilege..
The privilege of ignoring the soul's choice and forcing it to become a soldier.
‘Souls weaker than me can be restrained by force..’
Currently, Volkan can ‘force’ up to 6-star knights. I couldn't force anything more than that..
For reference, all those who were called heroes in the past refused to become soldiers..
At this point, one question may arise:.
6Why did they attempt to resurrect the heroes and commanders of the past when the souls of only the Holy Knights could be forcibly redeemed?.
Although it was partly because I had some expectations about their ‘choice’, the ‘suitability’ was more to blame..
compatibility.
If the thoughts and attributes of the other person were similar, it was possible to bind the soul..
No matter how strong a being is, if the suitability is good, there is an opportunity to forcibly bind the soul..
‘Crowley also thought it was possible.…….’
I was rejected. The insult of being ‘insignificant’ was a bonus..
‘3It's like a year wasted.’
In fact, there was one big penalty to Volkan's power..
‘There is only one chance to make a choice..
The moment you exercise your power, there are only two options available to your opponent..
Either become a soldier of Volkan, or attain Buddhahood and lose your soul..
There was only one of them.
Yes. Crowley chose death, and a little while ago, Crowley's soul entered complete resting place..
This means that no matter how much his power increases in the future, the opportunity to use Crowley as a soldier has disappeared forever..
“Are you saying you don't want to be controlled by mere humans?……?”
Volkan gritted his teeth..
But I soon regained my composure. She lost Crowley's soul because it was partly her own fault..
‘It was too urgent.’
I thought I could gain great strength in a short period of time, so I ended up overdoing it..
‘It was a gamble called ‘suitability’..
‘I wish I had increased my strength and seen the distant future.…….’
Volkan clenched his fists..
After all, power is everything. One way or another, I had to increase my strength..
* * *
Grunting-!
The first thing Adonis did after escaping from the palace was to clear the battlefield..
As Adonis began to rampage, the punitive force collapsed..
“Whoa... … lived.”
“Is it over? It was a tough fight.”
Eleister, Charon, and Lucia arrived following Adonis..
Lucia quickly scanned the battlefield. and…….
“nurse! Sylvia!”
I was able to find two people. Two people who are like family.
“You were alive. thank god.”
“Thanks to the nanny. Thank you for your consideration.”
“I see. The nanny had a really hard time too..”
“Hehe, I am requesting compensation. Marriage to Mr. Zero. I think that's enough.”
“What is he saying now! Why am I marrying her?!”
Sylvia tilted her head..
“Zero? Are you dating someone??”
“It's not like that. And if you date him, you'll have to go to jail before you get married.?”
“Are you a criminal? I knew I had unique tastes, but… … Well, it's okay. Because I am a woman who knows how to respect my friend’s tastes..”
“That's not it... … It's because I'm young. I'm fifteen. Just entered the academy!”
“……fifteen?”
Sylvia was in a daze for a moment while analyzing Lucia's words..
She soon started making a fuss..
“Oh my, my! Lucia you… … You were more capable than I thought.?”
“what?”
“Younger. And that's because she's even younger than her older brother... … ! What else is this if not talented?!”
“Oh no! That's not it! I'm not interested at all! Not a single guy like that…….”
Lucia thought of Zero for a moment..
Soon, I remembered the various accidents(?) that had happened with him..
When I remembered the incident where I got cut on my front finger and the memory of wearing the academy uniform, I couldn't help but blush slightly..
Sylvia saw that and opened her eyes..
“Oh my! Look at him? I guess it's nice just thinking about it?”
“Well, it's because I'm embarrassed.?”
“That's it. Please tell me. Are you even hiding it from me, your best friend? I'm sulking?”
“Oh really! It's not like that!”
That was when Lucia was about to retort..
“It's a retreat! Take care of the injured and leave here immediately.!”
Charon's Order to Retreat.
A storm raged again on the battlefield that had become quiet..
“The fight isn't over yet?”
“Besides, it's a retreat... … If that's the case then surely…….”
thud!!
At that moment, a huge sound rang out from the palace, and something slowly stood up..
It was a huge skull. Everyone saw its identity right away..
“Hey, Crawley!?”
“Are you saying he survived?!”
“Boo, take care of the injured! recovery comes later!”
Preparations for retreat were completed in an instant..
It was that moment when the punitive force left the battlefield..
Tudduduk-! Kugugoogung Palace-!
Crowley collapsed. The thick magic that had been suffocating her was nowhere to be found..
“What, what? Why is it like that??”
“Could it be a trap? It's clearly a trap to lure us into!”
crunchy-!
Adonis flew into the sky.
After checking the situation in the palace from above, he headed to Charon's side..
“Not only the demonic energy, but even the reverse pentagram disappeared..”
“Did they succeed in disrupting it??”
“I'm not sure. Elester, what do you think??”
Is it because Crowley collapsed?.
Elester's reason was clearer than ever..
“Rather… … I feel like I failed.”
“failure?”
“You must have overcome an insurmountable power. Well, corps commander… … There's no way a guy who treats humans like insignificant things would follow human orders..”
Elester remembered clearly..
The image of Army Commander Crowley, who treated humans like ants and trampled them..
“Hmm~ I guess that was it. Then there is now no reason to retreat.?”
Grunting-!
Adonis left straight for the royal palace. Elester and Lucia followed..
“Please wait here for a while. The skeleton isn't rising, but you never know. Be strict with your surroundings.”
As Charon said, the skeleton that had been standing up had stopped its actions..
After Adonis' attack, resurrection stopped..
It was extremely good news for the punitive force..
Charon also left straight for the royal palace. Hiding in the shadows, he could see.
Volkan wearing a robe.
He was currently confronting Elester, Adonis, and Lucia..
“Playing with toys is over now?”
“…….”
“I don't know what happened, but one thing is certain. we won.”
Lucia's declaration of victory.
Is it because I can't refute that statement? Volkan showed no reaction..
“Why don't you surrender? Then I'll spare your life. I can't guarantee limbs. A certain man was very angry. Still, if you surrender now, they might leave one for you.?”
“……Lucia, leave it at that. Don't we look like villains?.”
“Isn't this a joke these days? Anyway, I guess who isn't grandpa?.”
“This is an era where limbs are cut off as a joke. I will refrain from such times from here..”
That was when Lucia pouted..
Her face turned scarlet. Because the sunset has set in the sky.
The battle started early in the morning.
It was a sunset that burned more beautifully than ever before, as if to announce the end..
While watching the sunset, Volkan suddenly remembered a memory..
Memories of the day he lost her, who was everything to him..
“……I lost my excitement.”
“I guess so.”
“Don't be mistaken. If I had used all my strength from the beginning, you would have already been dead..”
“Look at that. You're good at saying lines like a villain. We are justice, right??”
Elester and Volkan sighed at the same time..
“I'm sorry. I apologize. Please understand, it's because I've been hurt so much in the past..”
“……It went beyond the level of understanding. And I was also greatly hurt. Because of the empire you like..”
“How can we understand if you don't tell us what happened? Even if what you say is true, praising the devil, killing people, and causing chaos on the continent is unacceptable..”
“I don't think that's something someone who killed more people than anyone else would say. Elester, the number of people you killed on the battlefield and the number of people I killed. Who do you think has more??”
“Just because someone else has committed a bigger sin than you, that doesn't mean your small sins go away. And the body is doing its own thing of atonement..”
“……I don't think any further conversation would be meaningful. Yeah, I might as well follow the rules of this world.”
Winner takes all. Whoever wins is justice.
The one who survives last, the one who steps on others.
A world where people become upright!
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-!
As soon as Volkan's mana began to flow, Adonis threw the spear..
Tuong!
The spear filled with mana bounced off with such ease that it felt like nothing..
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. bones sticking out of the ground.
Magi is also Magi, but its size is enormous..
‘Also, what is that misshapen structure? Like a bird's wings…….’
Blah blah blah-!
The ground began to crack. Everyone fled the scene and surrounded Volkan..
In just a few seconds, the ground completely split, and something came out and destroyed the palace, which was barely able to maintain its shape..
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!!!
Dust rose up, but could not hide the gigantic figure..
It was such a huge being..
And soon, everyone realized what it was..
“Dragon…….”
What's unusual is that it's a dragon with only bones..
Flesh and scales were everywhere..
“This is the Bone Dragon. During the Great War, dead dragons were turned into corpuscles..”
“Is it the black dragon Drakan?……!”
“I know it well. Is it natural because we fought back then?…….”
Black Dragon Drakan.
40Years ago, when Crowley descended, he was a dragon who joined their side because it would be fun..
9Although his level was far beyond that of a Holy Knight, his suitability was good, so he succeeded in turning him into a soldier in just three months..
“There are other corpuscles too… … Because it has already been taken away to a safe place..”
“Are you trying to run away! Whenever we talk about the laws of this world!”
“My battlefield is not here. Well, you all know it well..”
Yes. The battlefield where Volkan's power can best be demonstrated is a place with a lot of people..
The greater the capital, large city, or battlefield of each country, the more clearly it will be able to demonstrate its power..
Volkan is a smart man..
Elester, Adonis, Charon, Lucia.
They are all worthy of being called heroes. I didn't want to risk my life fighting them..
If Crowley hadn't been in this battlefield, he would have cleared it out a long time ago and fled..
“See you on the next battlefield. of course…….”
If you're still alive by then.
Swish-.
When Volkan jumped down from the top of the pillar, a bone wyvern flew in from somewhere and settled down at his feet..
That's how Volkan ran away..
Leaving behind a terrible disaster.
