chapter 97
4. Change – (42)
***
Ugh!
The sword wrapped in blue light rang incessantly, and Ed’s hand that held it trembled slightly.
Shaak!
With great strength in his hand holding the sword, he swung it into the air.
Ed shook off his trembling like that and turned to the front with a firm gaze.
I should have predicted the direction the poison needle was heading and hit it accurately, but it wasn’t like an ordinary witch beast because it had the same repulsive force as just before.
A unique shape with huge wings attached to the body of a red lion, and even a poisonous stinger attached to its tail.
‘Manticore.’
All of the characteristics matched, and even the unusual color of the manticore seemed to indicate that it had a more serious degree of demonic staining than a normal manticore.
“You are…”
Then I saw a female knight staring blankly right in front of me.
Philia Nardia.
If I remember correctly, she was a female knight of the Tolisch family and an escort knight for Tolisch Birbalce.
She looked at her for a moment, then delivered her words to her knight named Tolish, right next to her.
“I will take care of this place.”
The situation was not good to fight while protecting someone right now.
If it wasn’t for Glaad’s knights who learned the same skills, it wasn’t that good to fight with a knight from another family.
The reason why Glead pretends to be the vanguard and stands alone to defend the front line.
Though the seat of glory and the name Glaad of the North were the greatest. One of the lesser known ones. It was also because there was a point that he didn’t have good compatibility with knights from other families.
“Thank you so much for your help. Even so, it’s dangerous to face that Witchbeast alone.”
“Right. That Manticore joins forces…”
“No. It’s because it gets in the way.”
So I cut them off like a knife and shook my head.
I didn’t mean to disregard their skills.
Susssss!!
They didn’t even notice the manticore’s tail snapping again.
It’s safe to say that the compatibility isn’t good, because that Manticore was like their natural enemy.
And it was better not to have an ally who couldn’t react to the opponent’s attack.
Type 2 Unleashes the shape of the blue wave as thick as possible, and quickly extends the sword in the direction of the poison needle.
At the same time, a sword like a huge blue stalk wrapped Ed’s new body once again.
Chae Ae-Aeng!!!!
Another roar echoes.
“…Ah.”
Filia’s complexion hardened as she stared blankly at Ed.
“……”
Tolish didn’t even say anything, and finally opened his mouth heavily as he slowly turned around.
“Even after this crisis is over, I will never forget the grace that just saved my life.”
To blame!
With that, Tolish said loudly and threw himself away.
“Sure. Please.”
Let Philia also throw her body towards Tolish’s back.
Ed just let out a small laugh without any answer, shook his head and slowly expanded the area of his wave.
ㅡ Pounding.
From the moment I joined the battlefield, my heart continued to stop listening.
He was pounding non-stop, and the blood flowed endlessly through his body.
On the battlefield where people continue to die, he had no choice but to stand by.
Unlike the knights of Glaade who stood in the forefront, he only watched from the rear.
“…”
And even now, being able to help someone made me feel more comfortable than being safely in the rear.
In addition, a strange wave felt in the middle of the battlefield.
The more I felt it, the more my fighting spirit grew.
Chae Ae-Aeng!!!!
Once again, he slashed the manticore’s tail and suddenly threw his body forward as if he were throwing himself.
Switch the sword with both hands instead of one, and prepare one form at the same time.
“Quiruk!”
“Kwoaaa!”
I don’t even pay attention to the various monsters that cling to the manticore even before I get close to it.
Shuuk!
To-do-duduk.
The Demonic Beasts who threw their bodies collapsed as if they had been stabbed dozens of times.
In itself, an absolute defensive swordsmanship that is close to flawless. Blue wave.
“Kreurreu…”
At some point, the Manticore, which rapidly inflated its body, rushed towards it. As if I had waited, I raised my sword high and held my swordsmanship tighter.
Type 2 blue wave.
Sweet!
Sweet!
The Manticore’s sharp claws and poison needles are instantly swept away by a huge air current. The moment the direction was slightly twisted.
Connect the next swordsmanship type.
Type 3 water splitting.
Ed’s sword was swung wide and shot rapidly, splitting waves as if it were being shot quickly.
Shuwook!
The sword shot at the manticore, which approached at close range, pierced the head of a huge lion.
Shuuk!
A blow that pierced the Manticore’s right eye and pierced the head itself.
At the end of it, concentrate on the sword again as if pouring mana explosively, and at the same time, lift it with full force.
Pushuuuk!
When the huge group of blue light that split off the head of the giant Manticore shone brightly, it opened the distance as if kicking the body of the Manticore.
Puong!
Let’s widen the distance at once with a popping sound.
As if it would collapse soon.
The body of the huge Manticore fell towards the ground.
Wow!
Looking at that, Ed involuntarily turned his gaze to his sword.
‘It wouldn’t have been a monster that could be dealt with so easily.’
It was much easier to handle than I thought.
From the connecting action of piercing the head, to the brilliant blue light that is lifted up as if splitting the hair as it is.
All of that was strange.
From the extremely fast mana operation dwelling in the body to the pounding and strange waves.
Feeling all of that, even myself now, from one to ten, was different from usual.
A sword now imbued with a brilliant blue light.
The intensity was too strong to be called an aura.
I even felt like I was seeing my teacher’s aura.
“…Let’s go out like this and join Glaade.”
Though the knights from behind won’t be able to join him as he pierced the road himself. It would be enough to cut off the flow of the Black Sea by itself.
I felt that if I joined Glaade in the middle at the end, the momentum of the war would rise.
The moment you hit the ground with strength in your legs.
Once again, a strong blue wave swept over Ed’s body.
And what about Ed?
Early at the forefront of the center.
As if resembling the momentum of Ashera and Aizen’s overwhelming blue waves, they gradually began to turn bluer.
***
The heat of the fierce battlefield gradually increased, and several hours passed.
Now, let’s arrive at the time when the clear dawn has arrived.
The battlefield, which should have been dyed in darkness and without light, was still brightly lit with colorful lights.
And among them, the battlefield that shines the brightest no matter what anyone says is the front line that includes the central glade.
It was Aizen who first felt the abnormality.
Chack!
Aisen swung his sword once again and split the troll’s body in half.
The moment when I felt that I had almost won the war while advancing as if breaking through the front line with my granddaughter.
I suddenly heard a strange echo.
At first, I couldn’t pinpoint the bizarre echo heard between the screams of the monsters along with the fierce roar of the battlefield.
She had such a small and anomalous resonance that even Aizen couldn’t feel its source. The moment we reached the end of the wave of the Demon Beast, which was almost like a black sea.
I couldn’t help but feel it.
The moment I felt it, I raised my nerves sharply because it gave me a feeling that was too reluctant to turn away.
There is something unknown.
Something unknown.
There is a bizarre magic beast that even he himself has never felt before.
I wonder if it was a coincidence that Aizen instantly turned his attention to Ashera.
A space where nothing exists due to the huge blue wave of Ashera.
That’s why there was no sign of her presence.
But the moment I realized that there was something in it.
Aizen held out his sword wide without hesitation.
ㅡGlead family swordsmanship
Type 7 A dying and flowing wave.
As Aizen’s sword shoots out like light, numerous traces of blue light are left behind.
If the existence itself is unknown, it will try to break everything with the most destructive technology.
Overwhelming power sometimes shows the prestige of destroying all conditions as it is.
……
“…!?”
At the overwhelming force of Aizen attacking the air right in front of her, Ashera paused for a moment and looked at Aizen.
The trace of blue light left so clearly in the air is soon.
She meant that she used the wave of death and flowing in the form of type 7, and that meant that there was an enormous magical power, but Ashera couldn’t see anything.
And that moment.
A strange reverberation resonated extremely loudly from Ashera’s immediate vicinity.
At that moment, Ashera, who belatedly raised her sword, became extremely nervous.
Aisen disappeared from his line of sight.
“…Grandpa?”
Asera’s foot, muttering blankly, spurred her on the ground as it was, and approached it as if it were being shot.
aaah!
Asera’s sword that cut through the air in the same way.
But I didn’t feel anything, just the feeling of cutting through the air.
“Grandpa!?”
Without any hints and no time to prepare.
In the middle of the battlefield, Aizen disappeared.
“……”
Ashera, whose complexion was white, hurriedly turned her head to look around her, but it was still the same.
I can’t see anything.
I don’t feel it.
Ashera, who saw the demonic beasts pouring down from her, was extremely confused, but she soon made up her mind.
‘It’s okay. Don’t think too big
The person who disappeared was none other than my grandfather.
Gleaad guards the north. Because the strongest person that no one could deny was his grandfather. Even if it disappeared, there was no need to worry and guess.
And now, rather than worrying about my grandfather.
I had to focus on the front line.
The absence of grandfather, who is like a huge axis forming the front line.
As I thought about what the consequences would be, Ashera was considered a serious matter in itself.
