Episode 212
212fury. Qualifications of a Hero(1)
“Ugh…….”
“Astheon! Are you okay??”
“As you can see, I'm about to die..”
“Very fine. Don't pretend to be sick for no reason. Because I care.”
“Ugh… … Kiel! You have no blood or tears! My colleague said he was sick and dying.!”
But Kiehl knew.
Astheon is glancing towards Sylvia..
‘You probably want to use the pain as an excuse to receive care from Sylvia..’
Kiel had only one thing to say to Astheon..
“Just die. I think it would raise morale more that way..”
“You mean you have to kill your comrades to win? Such heinous!”
“I've never had someone like you as a colleague. I will protect you, Sylvia, so you can close your eyes in peace..”
“Yeah, like that! Heavenly punishment will come upon you, Kiel.!”
“It will be handed down to you who betrayed humanity.!”
Even though they were fighting, they didn't stop smashing the skull's head..
It was that moment.
Toukwaang!!
A huge, ear-splitting roar.
At the same time, the group of skeletons in front disappeared. got crushed by something.
“Yes?”
Thick dust that obscures vision.
But even the dust could not completely hide the purple-black eyes..
A fiery black-purple eye glow. A huge body visible through the dust.
Soon they realized. What's in front of them now.
‘It's called 'Born Dragon'.
“Damn, this is heavenly punishment! The heavens sent down heavenly punishment on Kiel.!”
“You idiot! That's not a nemesis, it's a dragon!”
“Isn't it scarier than heavenly punishment??”
Kiehl couldn't argue..
Of course, heavenly punishment may be scarier, but isn't that just a poetic expression?.
The Bone Dragon in front of me was much more scary and overwhelming than the divine punishment I had not seen and had not yet fallen..
‘Why did the Bone Dragon come here? Could it be that Lucia and her group are incapable of combat??’
If that's the case, we need to send relief personnel..
Because that one person there was worth more than the entire punitive force combined..
From the moment the Bone Dragon first appeared, the front line was as if it had collapsed..
Because there is no one who can face that monster..
‘Personnel to attract the Bone Dragon's attention, rescue personnel, and personnel to retreat with the wounded..’
Of course, anyone who catches the Bone Dragon's attention will face death..
‘Considering the number of injured... … The number of people available is eight..’
Kiel's head spun rapidly..
Eight in order of slim body. Seven people excluding myself.
It was when Kiel was about to give instructions..
Kwakwakwak!!
A huge lightning bolt struck the Bone Dragon's head..
Where lightning struck. Surprisingly, there was one person standing there..
“Ah, Adonis……?”
“Go away.”
Adonis was right, but something was different..
Atmosphere, momentum, and even an unidentifiable halo floating overhead..
It was almost questionable whether it was the same person..
‘What is that sword??’
The shining sword in the hand of Adonis.
It was a strange sword that made me feel at ease just by looking at it..
It's not mana. That foreign energy…….
‘divine power?’
There was a weapon containing divine power..
However, compared to divine power potions, it was less effective, more expensive, and had poor compatibility with mana, making it a weapon that was not often used..
More than anything.
‘I have never heard of a weapon that exudes such strong divine power..’
No, there was one.
A sword made in the Holy Kingdom to fight against demons..
Even its name is a holy sword.
‘However, the current Holy Sword is in Seongguk’s possession. So, it's the old holy sword?…….’
It was surprising that Adonis had the old holy sword, but it was even more surprising that he could use it..
Because not everyone can handle the holy sword..
‘They said that if an unqualified person uses it, their whole body will burn..’
For hundreds of years, crimes targeting the Holy Sword have occurred continuously, and most of them were burned to death..
Those with an impure heart cannot even dare to touch it..
That was the holy sword.
“Kiehl, what are you going to do??”
It was Otto's.
A punitive force that was fighting with skeleton soldiers..
By taking advantage of the bone dragon's crushing of the skeleton soldiers, they were able to reach Kiel..
“I have to step down. As Adonis said.”
“Oh no. Still, aren't we supposed to take care of the novices? Just fighting a dragon must be hard.…….”
Quaguagwang!
Tukwakwakwakwa-!
The Bone Dragon has fallen once again.
The nearby skeleton soldiers were shattered and turned into bones..
The sight was so pitiful that I felt sorry for it..
“Let's go over there and fight.?”
“hmm… … Did I do that? I guess I have dementia these days. You know, right? It's called youth dementia..”
Kiehl gathered his thoughts..
What we need to do in this situation…….
“Take care of the wounded and retreat. I guess our role is… … Because I think that's it.”
The punitive force retreated back..
Because they realized that even if they were here now, it would be a distraction..
Soon they were located on top of a building with a clear view of the battlefield..
A safe place without a single skull or warlock.
But no one was happy. He rather clenched his fists..
Because I was angry.
‘……There is such a difference in level?’
6If you achieve the level of sainthood, you will be welcomed wherever you go..
‘I have risen to the rank of what is called ‘the strong’..
But it wasn't. They were not strong.
Eleister, Lucia, Charon, and Adonis.
‘It was people like that who could be said to be ‘strong’.
Boom! Quagga gagagak!
Wow!!!
And one overwhelming among them.
Watching Adonis unilaterally pushing the Bone Dragon, it was enough to make him think he was dreaming..
‘That monster is just like us……?’
‘man beat up a dragon……?’
‘They're about to fry the dragon..’
A question arose in everyone's mind..
‘Adonis. What exactly is that child??’
9It's amazing that he has achieved the level of sainthood, but he can even wield a holy sword..
I was madly curious about his identity. But soon they shook off that thought..
It is not that important what Adonis is. What's important now is.
‘Learn at least one more thing.’
The punitive force watched the battlefield with bated breath..
In fact, all I could see was a flash of light and the Bone Dragon struggling, but I did my best to open my eyes..
In order to gain at least a tiny bit of enlightenment and become a little stronger.
Kwagwagwagwagwang-!!
Countless golden lightning struck the battlefield..
In fact, it wasn't just the punitive force that was surprised. Lucia and Charon were equally surprised..
‘Eliminating skeleton soldiers using a bone dragon?…….’
It's not a coincidence. Those who belonged to the class of the strong could know.
The mystery behind Adonis' movements.
‘That's the pinnacle of 9 stars…….’
‘The state of supreme……!’
I couldn't bring myself to get involved in the fight..
9Even adult Charon..
‘Even if I was in my prime, would I have been able to fight at that level??’
The battle of Adonis that can only be described as divine..
Everyone was busy being surprised, but Adonis, who was in awe of everyone, was lamenting..
‘shit! If the holy sword was in the form of a spear rather than a sword……!’
Adonis' main weapon is a spear, not a sword. Because of that, he was not able to show his full potential..
Of course, since Adonis has tried his hand at other weapons in his life, it has been a long time since he went beyond the point of being 'familiar' with them..
But no weapon is comparable to a spear..
Yes. Currently, Adonis is not even able to perform at 50% of his peak performance..
‘Soon the Holy Sword's protection will end. I have to finish it before then!’
2Great Holy Sword Durandal.
Adonis received his approval, but Durandal had lost most of his strength due to the fight with the Legion Commander..
Moreover, since it was a holy sword made hundreds of years ago, its power was not at its full potential..
‘bet on victory……!’
Skeleton soldiers can no longer get up.
There was no need to save strength.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag-!
Every time Adonis swung his sword, the dragon's bones shattered..
As with the undead, the bones were continuously being repaired, but Adonis was breaking them down faster than repairing them..
“Wow!”
Of course, there was also Elester’s help here..
Because he was restraining the body of the dragon he saw with magic, Adonis was able to rampage much more comfortably..
Grunting-!!
Adonis, having removed as much of the Bone Dragon's skull as possible, rose high in the sky. At the same time, he lifted the sword he held backwards above his head..
It is the most powerful weapon with a single shot, and it can also be used as a sword rather than a spear..
Adonis third original biggie.
Gae Bolg).
Adonis threw the holy sword. like throwing a spear.
flashing!
As golden lightning flashes.
Tukwakwakwakwakwagwang!!
Thunder echoed throughout the battlefield..
It is safe to say that God has passed judgment..
As if to prove that statement, the bone dragon's neck vertebrae began to crumble little by little..
Tuk-tuk-duk-.
At one point, the bone dragon's skull fell off..
Kugugugugung Palace!
The ground shook violently..
The sound was so loud that people could slightly hear their feet..
“Did you knock it down??”
“haha! You won! Our little boy did it!”
“It's awesome…….”
The punitive force let out a shout of victory..
“ha… … ha…….”
Adonis took a deep breath..
This is the aftermath of using the power of my prime with a broken body..
Although the body was trained to the limit, it could not escape the natural law of aging..
“……!?”
While I was exhaling and controlling my mana, something came into the mix..
It was black magic energy. The black magic energy emitted by the Bone Dragon.
it still remained.
‘no way……!’
Less and less-.
A small piece of bone hit the ground and made a small noise..
Rattling- rattling- rattling!
The noise gradually spread. As if the epidemic was over.
Ta-dad-dad-dad-dak-!
The cervical vertebra shattered by the holy sword returned to its original position in an instant..
At the same time, a purple-black glow burst from the eyes of this dragon..
Ohhhhh-!!
‘also… … Should I have smashed her head?!’
The creature's common weak points are the head, neck, and heart..
But the bone dragon has no heart..
The only weak points are the neck and head..
I aimed for the most likely head, but at that moment, Eleister's binding magic was broken..
‘Dodge by twisting your neck for a moment…….’
Adonis looked at his shaking hands..
This is also due to the recoil from using the holy sword..
‘The battle started too quickly. If only we had fought an hour or two later... … I would have had the stamina to finish it..’
Was it the right decision to abandon children who would become future heroes??
Kwaang!
The Bone Dragon swung its huge hand..
Adonis quickly dodged, and Lucia followed..
“Grandpa, it's okay?”
“That's not good. What about Elester??”
“You're throwing up. The rebound has arrived. For now, I left it with Uncle Caron..”
“Now that I think about it, Charon is also at the end of his stamina. Things are not good..”
But even Adonis was running out of stamina..
How many more proper attacks can I make??
third time? Four times? Could that attack kill that guy??
“Grandpa, leave the attack to me. Just ask for attention. If you just focus on dodging, you can fight for a few more minutes.?”
“……Are you okay? Even though his magic energy has decreased, he is still a dragon..”
“It can't be helped. I'm the only one who can fight properly right now.”
And in the first place.
“This happened because I asked to fight, right? I have to take responsibility.”
“Lucia… … You can't believe it…….”
“I have no intention of dying, so don’t worry. I do not know? Hero Lucia.”
hero.
Yes. Lucia was also a hero officially recognized by the empire..
Unlike himself, he is a ‘created hero’.
‘I was worried after hearing the rumor... … It was a useless worry..’
10Adonis has been unable to pay attention to Lucia after staying in the castle for years..
The disgrace of being a created hero.
‘I thought it wouldn't be able to handle that weight... … Did you overcome it? That's amazing.’
Adonis finished his thought. Because it is never too late to praise later..
“Aim for the head.”
“Don't worry. I’ll cut you in two nicely..”
crunchy-!
Adonis took flight, and Lucia moved to the other side..
‘Not only is it a lizard, but it's also big.’
The good news is that all of the dragon's wing bones were shattered..
Was it because he was attacked mainly by the Holy Sword, or was he giving up on restoration due to lack of demonic energy?.
‘I don't know, but... … thank god. Because I can't fly around like a grandpa..’
Took bang!
Adonis dodged the dragon's punch..
Lucia climbed on the guy's tailbone and swung her sword..
Lucid's first big story.
flip the land.
Quad deud deuk-! Kwazijic!
The crack started from the tailbone and extended to the spine..
Ahhh-!!
The Bone Dragon swung its arms wildly..
“Ugh! He seems like an ignorant guy.!”
Lucia had no choice but to jump off the Bone Dragon's body..
As expected, it is difficult to determine the timing of an attack with Adonis alone..
There has to be at least one more person…….
“Lucia!”
“Sylvia? Why do you come here??”
“Hehehe, I came too.”
“Even the nanny?”
“I think it would be helpful to us..”
Sylvia and her nanny. They are two people in the latter half of the 7-star stage..
It is clear that it is a reliable force in the current situation..
“but…….”
“Is now the time to judge people? I have to stop it somehow. If my daughter sees a monster like that, she'll faint right away.?”
“……Fainting is a problem?”
“Hey! What a serious problem that is! Anyway, is this why you can't talk to someone who hasn't raised children? Ugh, you should get married quickly and have kids too.…….”
Why do conversations always end in marriage??
It was Lucia who couldn't understand..
“Let's go. It's been a while since I put it together.”
“……Don't fall behind.”
“Hehehe, don't forget that I'm there too.”
The three people started running.
Adonis and the nurse attracted attention, and Lucia and Sylvia took advantage of the opportunity to attack..
Kwagak! Kwagagak!
Ohhhhh!
“Lucia!”
“I know!”
The gap created by Sylvia swinging her sword. In that gap, Lucia poured out an attack..
Kwazijic!
It's been a while since I've guessed the sum, but it's exactly as if I measured it with a ruler..
Lucia had many colleagues she had met so far, but she had never seen anyone who was as compatible as Sylvia..
“The magic energy has decreased a lot. The number of spells has also decreased..”
“Looks like he's concentrating on repairing his hands, legs, and tail..”
“While we're restoring that place, if we aim for the skull with less demonic energy... … I might be able to win.”
How can our thoughts be so similar?.
The two immediately put their thoughts into action..
Those who want to destroy it and those who want to stop it. There were dozens of battles.
This was when Silvia created an opening and Lucia succeeded in breaking one of the dragon's hands..
“miss! avoid!”
Coccyx attack followed simultaneously by attack with the opposite hand
‘This… … Can't avoid it!’
It was the moment when Lucia was raising her mana..
Tuk!
Sylvia pushed herself away. and.
Kwasik!
“Wow!”
Sylvia was hit in the tailbone and bounced away..
The problem is that the Bone Dragon snatched Sylvia in the air..
That's it, that's it-!
“Cough!”
Sylvia vomited blood. his body was being crushed.
“Sylvia! I'll save you soon!”
But the Bone Dragon didn't stop there..
Ohhhhh-!
I took a breath. Everyone in the room knew what that meant..
‘breath……!’
crunchy!
Doo doo doo doo-!
Adonis and his nurse beat the dragon's body like crazy..
But it didn't budge.
The hand holding Sylvia is filled with demonic energy, making it even stronger..
Even with his head raised, Lucia couldn't even attack his head..
“Lucia… … escape… … Hit it.”
“no! Sylvia, no.!”
At sixteen, memories from the battlefield haunted Lucia..
Friends, colleagues I met on the battlefield. Memories of the time when I was dying day by day.
Nothing has changed between then and now.
The world was cruel.
A colleague died.
I had no power to protect them..
“You tried! You worked like crazy! But why still……!”
Am I not able to protect even one friend?.
While she was screaming like crazy, something came into Lucia's eyes..
A sword stuck upside down in the ground.
I knew right away what that was..
It is a holy sword. The holy sword thrown by Adonis.
Is it a coincidence or is it inevitable?.
‘What do you know about that?!’
Lucia stretched out her hand..
“Can not be done! If an unqualified person holds it……!”
Adonis' Warning.
Nevertheless, Lucia held the holy sword..
Pajjik-!
“Ugh!”
Anyone who was recognized by the Holy Sword became a hero..
But now the Holy Sword was speaking.
you don't deserve it.
I can't be a great person worthy of being called a hero..
“……I know that well too..”
From the moment I learned that I was a ‘created hero’.
Lucia never thought of herself as a hero.
I just submitted to my fate of having to wear the façade of a hero and acted as they wanted..
but.
‘not now.’
The qualifications of a hero were necessary. He had to become someone who could wield the holy sword.
Just for one moment now!
Lucia raised the holy sword..
I'm falling in love-!
The fire burned. Lucia's hands were on fire..
The Holy Sword is rebelling..
“Pfft! Are you saying you don’t like it because you have impure motives? So what should I do?!”
Lucia was planning to swing the holy sword. Even if your body burns.
But soon Lucia realized.
That this is just swinging a sword.
If the power of the holy sword does not contain divine power,.
‘I can't save Sylvia……!’
“What do you need? what do you want!”
honor? admit? love? life?
I could give up anything now..
I'm falling in love-!!
The holy sword burns once again.
Is it because of the big shock? A memory came to mind.
The conversation I had with Charon at the Academy.
-you don't have to forgive me.
-That's not what you have to do..
-Prove it. That you're strong, that you're ready to protect everyone, and…….
There is nothing lacking to be called a hero..
‘mister… … sorry. I guess I'm still not good enough.’
I'm falling in love-!!
Lucia's body slowly began to tilt..
It was then.
-I'll stop this place. please let me do that.
Memories of a friend who held the most dangerous position on the battlefield.
-There is no need to be a hero. Because that's not important.
The day I found out I was a created hero, the conversation I had with my father..
-It's okay to give up. I'm always on your side. Of course, you shouldn't give up on marriage, but.
Memories of Marriage with the Devil.
-I'm so proud of you.
Even the appearance of my youngest sister, whom I cannot help but love..
thud!
Lucia stamped her foot. He raised his fallen body again..
You can't fall down. If I collapse here.
Even though he was a hero in name only, he believed in himself. To those who gave me the strength to move forward.
Because it is causing such great inconvenience..
prove it.
That I deserve to be called a hero.
I'm ready to protect it.
Those who can be reached, as well as those who cannot be reached, and.
Even those who could not protect.
I'm falling in love-!!
‘It's okay just this once.’
To me like this, to me who doesn't deserve to be a hero.
Lend me your strength just once.
There is no need for a grand title like a hero..
I just want to save people.
I just don't want anyone else to go through the pain I went through..
Yeah, right now I'm just…….
“I just want to save a friend!”
Ppajik!
Lucia's body burned..
“what?”
But it didn't hurt at all. It was such a strange thing..
crackling-!
At the same time, the wound healed. The burns caused by the holy sword disappeared instantly..
and.
Grumbling-!
The holy sword spewed fire..
“Lucia!”
Lucia's body floated..
This is because Elester, who was watching, squeezed out mana and used floating magic..
Lucia swung the holy sword in front of the Bone Dragon, whose mouth was wide open..
The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.
split the sky.
There was no sound of birds, insects, or even the sound of swords swinging..
It could be said that Lucia's sword swallowed up the sounds of the world..
After Lucia swung her sword, the first sound heard was.
Take a look-!
It was the sound of the Bone Dragon's skull being split in half..
Kugoong!
The Bone Dragon has fallen. Her nanny rushed over to check that Sylvia was safe and gave her thumbs up..
“Yaaaaaa!!”
As Lucia fell, she burst into joy of victory..
A sunset that feels like it's burning.
A holy sword that emits light from its hand..
people cheering.
This is the moment when Lucia becomes a true hero..
It was the moment when a new hero was born on the continent..
