chapter 18
18. Did you bite everything?
Paperweight!
‘Why is this all of a sudden?…’
An electric current suddenly flowed through the black ring of thunder that had not budged.
I could feel it instinctively.
That now I can draw on the power of the ring.
That I can emit black thunder whenever I want.
‘I didn’t die so badly, so I tried to use another method…’
That’s how hard the exoskeleton of the monster was.
Even though I hit enough to make me think I would die, what can I say because I am still alive like that.
Rather, I was tired of hitting.
The left arm was still fine, but the other parts were getting weaker.
The left side in particular seemed to pull a little too much.
Ability is also ability, but I was just about to feel that I needed basic physical strength.
Of course, apart from that, to be honest, the durability was a bit surprising.
To the point where I wondered if there was such a monster.
But what about this black ring of thunder?
I’m sure it would work.
‘It was because of the power of this ring that the monster was imprisoned there in the first place.’
To him, this black thunder was probably the opposite.

Just in time, the Witchbeast kicked off the ground and flew up, opening its mouth and flying toward me.
‘Let’s put it in the snout and fry it!’
The outside is strong, but what about the inside?
I lowered my head and extended my left arm straight.
and.
“Quake?”
He put his hand deep into the man’s throat.
The demon also had a confused expression.
He gritted his teeth and charged, but he would be the first to come forward like me.
furthermore.
Cadeuk! Cadeuk!
Despite being bitten, my arm was fine.
“Did you bite everything?”
Now it was my turn.
‘Is this…?’
That moment when I was focused.
Pajijijijijijik!
“Ugegegegegege! Ugegegege!”
Blackish lightning shook the inside of the demonic beast.
He struggled to get away, but he couldn’t even lay a hand on me because of the paralyzing effect of the electric attack.
I think I am flying from somewhere.
I didn’t stop there.
“You look like you’re hungry, eat as much as you want!”
Damn it! Damn!
The sound of thunder surrounds my body.
Sparks flew through the surrounding fog.

“Ugh!”
Krause collapsed on the floor, covering his eyes with his arms as the lightning flashed in all directions.
It was a situation where I had to evacuate far away, but it was because my physical condition was worse than I thought.
at that time.
“Sir Krause!”
“Oh, Albert?”
“Yes! It’s me! Let’s get out of here!”
“Well, I guess that’s what it should be.”
Albert stuck to Krause’s side and pulled him out.
Diaz also clung to his side to help.
Krause asked as he escaped the receding lightning storm.
“Who is that?”
“This is Lord Rohan, a new member of the Seven Knights!”
“Seven Knights? It can’t be. Now, there are already six members of the Seven Knights… so you really mean the Seventh Knight?”
It was Krause who looked back with surprised eyes.
“I never thought I’d meet the seventh knight…”
Krause, a member of the Seven Knights, was one of those who knew the circumstances inside the Knights better than anyone else.
The power of appointment that each of the five kingdoms has.
And the Arlem Church has one right to appoint.
Those six positions were always filled.
but only one spot.
The right to appoint Gauron had never been exercised.
However, since the knight Gauron was so mysterious, there were many theories even among the knights belonging to the knights.
In fact, there is no authority to appoint, and it is said that it is a position to raise the name of Gauron.
The theory is that it is a vacancy created to keep one of the five kingdoms in check if one kingdom grows too large.
The theory is that it was a formally created place to honor a certain knight who died after being the first of the seven knights.
and so on.
‘No matter what the rumors are, most of them said that the position of the seventh knight would not actually exist…’
Actually, it didn’t look like that.
This would be a pretty big issue even among the knights of the Seven Knights.
Besides, that fighting power.
To be honest, it was embarrassing.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen a human who could unleash such overwhelming firepower with his bare fists.
‘I was wearing a sword next to me… Is it the confidence that I can win even if I don’t use it?’
But he was actually winning.
Along with that lightning storm.
He was doubting his own eyes, whether it was something a person could do.
Krause asked Albert, who was supporting him.
“Where did you get a human who seemed to come out of a myth like that?”
Albert only shrugged.
“Do I know?”
That moment.
Damn it!
I wondered if lightning was stronger than any lightning I had ever seen before.
Koo Goo Goo! Kwakwang! Quagga gaga gag!
Lightning fell from the sky along with thunder.
“Whoa!”
“Keuuugh!”
“Aww!”
It seemed that the angry sky was screaming.
Seeing him like that, Krause murmured softly.
“This is so… There is no God of Thunder…”

Laron, the Bishop of the Templars of the Archdiocese of Siphoreo, personally led his troops and rode his horse in the direction of the fog.
“The cavalry move first!
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
The answer echoed in unison, like a single voice.
As they answered, they whipped their words without distraction.
The moment they get quite close to their destination.
Rumble……Kwagua River!
It sounded like thunder from the ground.
Bishop Larron, who has been through all the prenatal battles for a long time, but today, it seemed that something fear was rising.
‘What the hell is going on…’
However, he never forgot his position and never expressed his anxiety outwardly.
He let out a booming voice without a hint of shaking.
“The fog is still there! It must mean Lord Krause is alive! Fear not!”
Under his command, the morale of the Paladins gradually rose.
Bishop Larron held out his hand.
“From the vanguard! Enter!”
“Rush!”
“Don’t forget that God bless us!”
He had been warned in advance that the opponent was an ancient monster.
Because of this, the Paladins also entered through the fog with mortal determination.
All right! All right!
A dense fog where you can’t even see an inch ahead.
The Paladins groped the Siphoreo terrain in their memories and ran without slowing down.
The horses also galloped, avoiding various obstacles as if they were used to it.
That spark that continues to grow from the center of the fog.
That much made the war horses also hesitate and retreat.
In the end, the paladins abandoned their horses and advanced on foot.
One foot, one foot.
The closer I got, the more the blue lights flashing in the fog chilled my heart.
But it didn’t stop.
continued to advance.
Finally.
“Keew!”
The witch’s voice came.
The Paladins reached out and informed each other of their location.
Tuk-tuk.
The signal to rush quickly spread among the Paladins.
They kept their mouths shut and secretly and swiftly ran toward the center.
Demolition Duck! Demolition Duck!
Only the sound of the clashing of armor.
He could only hear the beating of his own heart.
The eyes of all the Paladins widened.
one leap.
Now, the distance to the target was only that.
But at that moment.
Koo Goo Goo! Kwakwang! Quagga gaga gag!
Suddenly I thought I could hear thunder.
Lightning fell from the sky.
“aaagh!”
“Keugh!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Because it was so close, the shock wave hit the whole body intact.
Paladins rolled on the floor like fallen leaves in an autumn wind.
It wasn’t because they were weak.
It was because the waves were too strong.
As evidence of that, even Krause’s fog was dissipating.
where the fog has lifted.
A man stood tall.
And the Witchbeast was devouring half of the man’s arm!
Paladins urgently fixed their swords and stood up from their seats.
It was as if the man would be caught and eaten.
By the way……
“It’s ripe.”
He seemed to have heard the man’s voice somewhere.
One of the Paladins made a noise.
“Ro, Sir Rohan?”
“……!”
Only then did Bishop Larron recognize the man in front of him.
As someone said, it was the real Rohan.
But what really surprised me was what happened next.
Rohan didn’t even look this way.
He brushed his left arm lightly like water.
Then, the witch who was biting his left arm suddenly fell powerlessly.
Looking closely, smoke was billowing from the Witchbeast’s body.
In addition, the smell of burning stung my nose.
Even the area around where Rohan was standing was scorched black.
There, only Rohan stood still.
Bishop Larron looked up at him blankly.
“What…how…”
* * *
In the Archdiocese of Siporeo, the body of the demon was collected and an investigation began.
Of course, since it has already been damaged so much, there seemed to be a limit to obtaining large amounts of information.
Still, the archdiocese’s priests never gave up.
They were unrivaled experts when it came to demons and beasts.
He continued the investigation, holding on to the end to the point of madness.
And in the end.
A young priest’s eyes flashed.
“This, this…”
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Priest. Look here. This scar. Haven’t you seen it in an old book?”
“Hmm…where did you see it?”
“Please wait a moment!”
The young priest quickly ran out and returned with a book.
The other priests who saw it tilted their heads.
The book was not an old book on demonology.
A long time ago, even before the Archdiocese was established in this Ciphoreo, it was a fairy tale book.
The young priest opened it and read.
“The monster with long limbs and a big mouth that opened up and down at the same time. He was imprisoned forever by the god of thunder. And the villagers lived happily ever after.”
“Stop, no way……”
“Yes! That’s for sure. It looks like this fairy tale was never built!”
“That, that, that… Anything else? Other things about the Witchbeast.”
“Wait a minute. I’ll look for it.”
The young priest hurriedly flipped through the pages of the book.
And at the same time, I found clues by comparing the contents with other ancient books.
They gradually began to find out the identity of the demon who was burned to death in front of their eyes.
ancient species.
An ancient disgraced demon aristocrat, a fugitive from the Twisted Abyss.
“…Demon Grand Duke. Akbyton…”
“……”
“……”
The priests who figured out his identity were frozen and unable to move for a while.
It was because he faced the reality of such a fearful bastard.
muttered one of them, half dazed.
“If this is the demon Archduke Akbyton…then what kind of Lord Rohan killed this…”
And the fact was soon conveyed to the Archbishop of Thevenon.
