chapter 15
Episode 15 .
With the exception of Iden and Daryl, all members of the task force froze on their feet.
It was fear. The demons inhabiting the Devil’s Realm stimulate the primitive emotions of humans, and in Marticoras’ case, it was fear.
The hideous face was bizarrely distorted, giving goosebumps. The huge wings that covered the ceiling even covered Aiden’s halo.
The roar of Marticoras vomited paralyzed the eardrums and left tinnitus.
Euron covered his ears. The priest lost his Bible, and Sistina let her sword hang limp. Sein’s pupils were trembling.
The surviving demons giggled and praised the manifestation of Marticoras.
The Demon Beast howled and soared into the air. Aiden firmly fixed the iron sword between his eyebrows.
It reached the ceiling in an instant with a repulsive force that seemed to rip through the atmosphere. When the beast hit the wall, the tomb shook as if it would collapse.
Aiden exploded the halo above the beast’s head. Then he looked down at the stiff crew members.
“Euro-!”
Euron was startled by the loud voice resounding from the far ceiling.
“yes yes!”
“Did you forget your duty!”
“Oh no!”
“Then grab your sword!”
The task force reacted startled to Iden’s halo and voice. My mind seemed to come back a bit.
“Do what you guys have to do!”
Recruits mourn the destruction. A knight protects the weak, and a priest leads hope.
There were a lot of demons in front of me. The children were still imprisoned behind bars, and misfortune was eating away at the tomb.
The task force remembered their duty.
Sistina bit her lip as if blaming herself. As soon as I circulated the aura, the vibration sound was low.
Euron started building with the haze of divine power. The priest recited the scriptures again and Sein chanted magic.
“Deryl!”
Daryl nodded quickly and threw the chain at the Beast.
Wedge liquid! Electric chains flew through the air and wrapped around Marticoras’ legs.
As if the Witchbeast was trying to shake off the insects attached to its body, it went mad nervously. aaa, the walls were torn down and cracks spread across the ceiling.
The two eyes of the Witchbeast converged between the eyebrows and glared at Iden.
Marticoras’ snow pit was much bigger than Aiden’s.
Aiden grabbed the iron sword with his left hand, and with the other hand he slit the beast’s right eye.
aaagh! He cried out in terrible pain.
As he tore his retinas and dug his pupils tenaciously, black blood spurted out in all directions.
Daryl, clinging to the oscillating chain, crossed the line of fire several times in the blink of an eye. I had to climb up.
On the other hand, Iden couldn’t afford to take care of Daryl’s situation. I had to kill him before the damage spread.
‘Blue flames don’t respond.’
Aiden frowned and pulled his hand out of the snow pit. The optic nerve bundles and thread veins came out one after another.
The Witchbeast let out a ferocious explosion and crashed into the ceiling. With a bang, cracks in the outer wall stretched out in all directions.
Dirt crumbs fell over Iden’s head. The rocks that formed the ceiling shattered and fell to the floor.
“Sistina! Escape from the tomb with the children!”
With such a shock, the tomb itself might collapse.
The number of detained children is so large that the previous scroll cannot be used.
Getting out of the tomb as soon as possible was the way to minimize the damage.
“All right!”
After checking the busy task force, he turned his gaze to the Witchbeast.
I had to focus on him from now on. I entrusted the lower part to the task force, and with both hands pulled out the iron sword that had been lodged between my forehead.
Black blood splattered across Aiden’s face. At the same time, he thrust an iron sword into the beast’s remaining eye.
‘done.’
It completely blocked his view. Even with Marticoras’ regenerative power, it would not be easy to shake off Aiden’s divine power.
The Witchbeast screamed and rushed toward the ceiling again. The parts that had been blunted by several collisions were smashed in an instant.
The ceiling was pierced.
Daryl eagerly climbed, dodging the falling stones.
aaang! Marticoras did not stop. With the momentum that shattered the ceiling, it soared up and penetrated the basement.
The second floor also collapsed in an instant. Aiden didn’t stop cutting. He tore his face and opened his wounds to excite the Witchbeast.
Daryl managed to land on the Witchbeast’s legs.
He looked up at Iden and was overcome with an eerie feeling. Because I’ve seen that expression before. It was when Iden squeezed Daryl’s neck.
The cruel eyes were the same.
Daryl brushed aside his thoughts and pulled out a vial of poison from his bosom. After drenching the dagger in poison, he stabbed it into the beast’s leg.
As the black skin swelled up to a bluish color, Daryl moved again. I climbed while cutting the beast’s body with a chain scythe. while injecting poison from time to time.
Marticoras, whose whole body had been slashed, struggled in pain as he made his way toward the final ceiling.
I no longer felt that the two attached to my body were bugs. As the monster slammed its body into the wall with all its might, the pile of sand covering the tomb poured down.
I didn’t feel any heat in the grain.
‘······The sun is already gone?’
It would have been much more advantageous if it was during the day, but I couldn’t help it.
Immediately after, a vast expanse appeared. In the deep night when the moon was bright, the stars were scattered.
It was spectacular, but the situation was such that I couldn’t afford to appreciate it.
Aiden stopped slashing the beast’s face. It had already been ripped into tatters and no human face could be found, but it did not cause any direct damage to life.
I had to be content with the achievement of destroying one of my five senses.
Aiden jumped off immediately and landed on his shoulders.
Cutting the spine was effective.
The Witchbeast roamed the air and began to scream. Aiden lowered his center of gravity as much as he could and drove the iron sword into his trapezius muscle and endured.
A gale struck Iden. I couldn’t open my eyes properly because of the strong wind.
Daryl was barely avoiding the hand of the Witchbeast.
“Be better!”
If it goes higher than that, the range of motion in which the Witchbeast swings its arm narrows. I can’t avoid it. Daryl threw the chain at Iden.
Iden immediately snatched it up and pulled Daryl away.
Boooooong! Daryl’s body drew a semicircle in the air. Then, it flew right into the shoulder of the demon.
Although Daryl has fought many demons, he has never experienced such a battle.
My mind went a little farther away.
“Calm down!”
Aiden’s voice broke through the gusts of wind.
“Yes…, yes!”
“Bind me with chains!”
Daryl noticed right away.
After driving a stake into Marticoras’ hard muscles, he tied Aiden’s waist with a chain.
Then Daryl pressed the stake with his weight.
“It’s fixed!”
Aiden stood up and slowly moved forward. In response, Daryl loosened the chain one span at a time.
Aiden endured the raging wind and smashed the arm of the attacking demon with all his might.
Aiden’s shoulder muscles also screamed. If I hadn’t been weakened and summoned, I really didn’t know what would have happened.
Step by step, I took a step while holding the center. He raised the divine power in his body as if squeezing it out.
A radiance brighter than the moonlight covered the night sky.
The iron sword flashed white like a holy sword. When it almost reached the neck of the beast, Iden shouted loudly.
“Release!”
The moment Daryl let go of the chain, Iden jumped at the scruff of his neck in an instant.
After stabbing the back of his neck with the steel sword he grabbed in reverse, he fell while traversing the beast’s spine.
The blade slashed through the muscles in his back and pressed against his spine, making a dull sound. Aiden put all his strength into his arms.
De, de de de deuk! He cut a straight line down to Marticoras’ buttocks to make a long sword blade.
Iden dangled dangling from the chain.
Marticoras screamed and swung his massive tail.
baek! It hit Aiden right in the face. Red blood gushed out of his nose.
The nose bone may have sunk.
‘It’s a failure.’
I couldn’t completely sever my spine. If it was a holy sword, I could definitely finish it, but the cutting power of the steel sword was too low.
I thought that I should have brought the holy sword even if it was overdoing it.
Aiden’s beaten body floated up. Before reaching the peak, the tail flew like a whip once more. hit the stomach directly.
Bahah! He coughed up blood from his mouth. I think I broke a few ribs, but I could have fought enough if my lungs weren’t stabbed.
Aiden’s body flew through the night sky. Due to the great repulsive force, it rose much higher than the beast’s head.
Daryl pulled the chain hard, resting Iden on his shoulder.
He looked at Iden with a very urgent expression.
“Good! Have a look over there. Isn’t that Serengal?”
When Aiden immediately turned his head, he saw the city of Serengal.
It seemed that the witch beast smelled a human and changed direction.
Marticoras was a demon who sought recovery by devouring humans.
That much had to be stopped.
“You have to cut off your wings.”
“I checked.”
The Witchbeast laid her body horizontally and started flying towards Serengal at high speed.
As if he would no longer be swayed by Aiden, he picked up full speed without even struggling.
Iden and Daryl crawled to his left wing.
When I glanced back, Serengal was already approaching.
Aiden wrinkled his brow.
“I can’t make it on time.”
“then···”
“Cut your wings. No, at least reduce the reaction force. Either punch a hole in the wing or whatever.”
Even if the wings were cut off, it was obvious that the crash site would be Serengal. If that’s the case, I’ll have to slow down.
Aiden looked down. The shape of the city began to take shape.
Iden crawled back into his face and prepared for a crash.
*
There were quite a lot of crowds in the square where the fountain in the city, Serengal was located.
It was to make a wish on a shooting star that twinkled at the far end of the night sky.
People believed that the shooting stars were the footsteps of the messengers of God, and that if they wished earnestly, they would surely reach the gods.
However, the messenger of God did not pass by. It was approaching, burning the night sky white.
someone shouted
“Go, Advent…!”
The crowd roared. Some people prayed with their hands together, and some even knelt down.
However, under someone else’s scream, people had to face reality.
aaagh!
A monster the size of a house was descending with its huge mouth wide open, roaring ferociously.
Ironically, the glow from the monster’s mouth was very pure.
It was a strange contrast. Someone’s voice was heard in the distance.
“Disperse from the fountain!”
The Witchbeast lost its direction and was spinning and falling.
People who witnessed the catastrophe started running away. Like a crucible of frenzy, screams echoed everywhere.
As soon as the monster got closer, people realized too.
The brilliance they believed to be a shooting star was radiating from a man.
A man holding his sword between the monster’s jaws. The scene passed like an instant.
aaang! Water from the fountain gushed into the sky. The earth’s axis shook and the ground cracked open with a huge recoil.
Dust and spray combined to cover the son-in-law.
People’s faces twisted in shock. Everyone was shocked and couldn’t even open their mouths.
The silence fell silently. When the view finally opened, a monster was howling.
The man was nowhere to be seen. However, the beast’s belly skin strangely fluctuated.
There were ripping and popping sounds. The demon roared even louder.
Soon, a crack opened in the belly skin, and a huge hand squeezed out of the gap.
aaagh! The outer skin split left and right, and a pure white glow radiated.
there was a man Covered in black blood, I walked out with a refreshing expression somewhere.
He was burning more naturally than moonlight.
