I Pulled Out the Excalibur - Chapter 159

159.Ssangcheon (1)

A considerable amount of time has already passed since the subjugation of Verdilla, the dragon that devours chaos.

In the meantime, members of the Knights Templar were dispatched to various places to assist in the reconstruction work, and focused on creating a base for the Knights Templar in the Islands and the Free City of Andelium.

Although they did not participate in a separate subjugation operation, they all had busy days.

In the case of wizards, they showed outstanding ability in restoring the city, so wizards, including Ariette, seemed to be especially busier than other members.

In the case of Ariette, who came back from plowing the ground in the sun all day, she complained to me by yelling at me.

“But… it might be hard to relax anymore.”

However, focusing on the city’s recovery was yesterday.

Now they had to move again to recapture the area occupied by Wisin.

The duty of the Jet Black Knights was to subdue the prestige and preserve humanity.

Moreover, as a request for support had arrived from the warrior Alcandio as of yesterday, the [recapture mission] could no longer be postponed.

“Well, what’s surprising is that a mission was created as soon as I received the request for support…”

However, there was something somewhat unusual about the process of the [recapture mission] to be challenged this time.

After I received a request for support from Alcandio, this mission was finally added to the list as a [Recapture Mission].

Normally, I would have found a naturally occurring mission from the list and selected it, but the process of this mission was extremely unnatural.

In addition to the change in mission category, there was a strong impression that the overall system was changing organically according to the situation.

It’s still a mystery as to why it’s disguised as a game system.

“done. “I need to check which missions I can proceed with.”

I shook my head to shake off the thoughts that came to my mind, and turned my gaze to the smartphone screen with the [Mission] tab on.

The top of the opaque window floating against the background of Aletheia’s lobby.

The name of the newly added [Recapture Mission] was there.

Tuk-.

When I put my finger on the mission and clicked on it, detailed information about the mission was displayed on the screen.

[Recapture: Restoration of Aslight border area]

– Maximum number of participants: 10 people

– Minimum participation condition: Destiny Enhancement Points +3582 or more

* Knights who do not meet the minimum participation requirements cannot inflict effective damage to the target of subjugation.

– Mission Overview: The border area in the Principality of Aslight that borders the territory of the evil church, Audrite and three nearby regions are areas that the Empire’s reinforcements must pass through in order to approach the church. However, currently, the flame-covered bird ‘Ladrio’ has anchored in the area and declared a sanctuary, and the pulsating drift ice ‘Beodor’, who is temporarily allied with him, has additionally declared a sanctuary, resulting in two overlapping sanctuaries. no see. Defeat Can Delto’s subordinate Ladrio and his helpers and completely liberate the area from Prestige.

– Reward: New attribute , Destiny Bloom Points +765400, Recapture Success Bonus +???, Special Trial Admission Ticket (EX+)

– WARNING! A special helper, , will accompany you on this mission! Always be on the lookout for betrayal by your helpers!

– WARNING! [Fate Enhancement Points] for this mission are distributed including the helper’s contribution!

The name of the mission this time is [Recapture: Recovering the Aslight Border Area].

It was an enormous mission that required the entry of 3582 to be restricted.

At first, I trembled even when they asked for 800,000 [Fate Bloom Points], but now I never thought I would see a mission that requires thousands of units of karma.

I had a strange feeling that my sense of karma was gradually becoming dull.

“This time, two prestiges appear at the same time? “It was definitely worth asking for help from Alcandio.”

Moreover, the number of prestige in this mission was a whopping two.

Putting aside whether prestige should be counted in Marie or Ming, a completely different type of battlefield unfolded than usual.

A sanctuary in which two types of sanctuaries overlap.

The existence of prestige cooperating with each other in such a sacred space was extremely uncomfortable from the perspective of the Jet Black Knights.

If the mission so far had been to hunt down the target of subjugation with an overwhelming numerical superiority, it was now not easy to utilize that numerical superiority.

“Ladriot and Beodor. This seems to be the name of prestige. And… wait a minute, the reward is 760,000…?”

While contemplating checking the names of the two prestiges in the mission, I gaped when I saw the rewards written at the bottom of the detailed information.

The [Talent Enhancement Points] reward for clearing the mission is as much as 765,400.

Point rewards exceeding six figures were truly shocking.

Of course, at the bottom of the detailed information it says that points will be distributed excluding Alcandio’s contribution, but it seemed clear that even if Alcandio’s share was excluded, it would not be a small amount.

Is this why there are so many Wisin?

It was obvious that the members’ karma would increase dramatically by clearing this mission.

“I can definitely feel that the mission is becoming more and more difficult. Of course, the level of the characters continued to rise.”

Previously, it felt like I was only catching people who were at the lowest level of prestige, but now it felt like I was dealing with strong people in earnest.

The guy occupying the church is probably quite strong, so the members will have to continue training and not be complacent about their growth.

In addition, there were other rewards in this mission besides [Fate Bloom Points].

[Special Trial Admission Ticket (EX+)].

This product, whose purpose can only be guessed by its name alone, was the first reward to appear in this mission.

“······Special trials admission ticket? “What is this again?”

This is an item that is not sold in stores, and what’s more, it has never been featured in a lottery.

It was a completely new type of object for me.

I looked at the [Special Trials Admission Ticket (EX+)] carefully, and then moved my finger over the smartphone screen again.

It was difficult to guess what kind of item it was just by looking at the name.

“You’ll know when you receive it after the mission is over. “What difference will it make if you worry about it?”

After making that decision, I set the names of the characters who would participate in this mission.

Naturally, all of the knights except Linear will participate in the mission.

Unfortunately for Linaire, she did not meet the requirements to participate in the mission.

It is not yet at a level worthy of prestige.

“Linear… Ah, what should I do with this?”

The growth gap with members who joined later was an important problem, but there was no clear solution to solve this problem right now.

I whetted my appetite by seeing Linaire’s name and had no choice but to dispatch the others.

Tuk.

Immediately after I entered all the names and touched the dispatch button for the mission.

Numerous messages appeared on the screen, and a portal opened in Aletheia’s lobby.

– This mission is given to Templar [Io (EX+)].

– This mission is given to the knight member [Ariette (EX+)].

– This mission is given to Templar [Leon (EX+)].

– This mission is given to Templar [Zion (EX+)].

– This mission is given to the Templar [Cepheid (EX+)].

– This mission is given to Templar [Astiya (EX+)].

– This mission is given to Templar [Celes (Unknown)].

It was the moment when the first operation to recapture the saints of the Holy Church began.

* * * * * *

The border area of ​​the Principality of Astria, near Odrite.

There, the members of the Jet Black Knights, including Io, looked at Alcandio.

Alcandio, a warrior of the Holy Church.

He was currently approaching the outskirts of Odrite alone and waiting for the knights.

Ariette was the first to question that appearance.

“It looks like you didn’t bring your colleagues with you today.”

“Even if I come here, it will definitely only be a distraction. “It is enough for me to come forward alone.”

“They changed the honorific title to the leader, but it seems like the edge is still standing for us.”

“Just because I am myself doesn’t mean I can show respect to everyone. Moreover, if the opponent is a vampire… it is not easy for someone who has been given a miracle by the great sun.”

Ariet tried to express her dissatisfaction with Alcandio’s story, but it was Io who blocked Ariet’s actions.

Io stood in front of Ariette and stared at Alcandio, then moved his head to look at the Audrite sky.

A landscape where fire and ice are in conflict with each other, with a blurry border around the sun.

The scene where the two sanctuaries coexisted was truly unfamiliar even to Io.

After looking at the sky for a while, Io turned his gaze to Alcandio again and spoke.

“I need an explanation of the situation.”

“······Let’s do that.”

Io’s question asking for an explanation of the battlefield.

At that one word, Alcandio nodded and opened his mouth.

Alcandio pointed to the sky with his finger and a description of the ground they were on flowed out.

“Odrite and the surrounding areas are an important strategic point for crossing from the principality to the territory of the church. “Two monsters are currently taking over that place and blocking the road.”

“Two prestige?”

“One is a being with powers related to fire, and the other is a being with powers related to ice. “I don’t know how two seemingly opposite beings can get along.”

Io nodded in agreement to the story about the great gods working together.

Since Ariette and Io, members of the Night Clan, were part of the same knighthood, it was not strange for monsters from the outside world to cooperate with each other.

This was even more so if they were intelligent beings who could communicate with each other.

Io pondered as she looked at the sanctuary split in half, then turned to Celes behind her and asked.

“Does Celes have a close friend?”

“Hmm, I have a lot of subordinates…”

“······.”

The beast-headed monsters that managed the amusement park flashed through Io’s mind.

It was not difficult to understand how the bizarre Black Dragon Train was created.

A short sigh.

Immediately after that, Alcandio’s story continued to Io, who had a strange expression on his face.

“The basic method would be for me to hold on to one and have the Jet Black Knights fight the other.”

“Aren’t we fighting together?”

“You probably don’t want to listen to my orders, and that doesn’t mean I’m fully trained with the Ebon Knights… so it’s probably better to move like this.”

Alcandio’s gaze, which was looking at Io, turned to Astia.

“However, let’s heed the advice given by foreknowledge.”

“······okay.”

They said that they would not move after receiving separate orders, but that they would refer to Astiya’s advice.

Considering the relationship between the Jet Black Knights and the Church, Io decided to compromise and accept it.

Draw clear lines between each other and expect nothing more.

That was what Io thought was an appropriate partnership between the two organizations.

“Then let’s just enter the sanctuary.”

There would be no need for further coordination, so it was now time to move towards the location where the prestige existed.

Alcandio, who was looking around at the members, including Io, took the lead and started walking towards the sanctuary.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.

As they stepped on the muddy ground, the sound of the muddy footsteps of Iowa members rang out.

The landscape created by the collision of the two sanctuaries did not seem like an easy space for Io to move around.

“You never know when a battle will break out, so you’d better be careful.”

“Still, the buildings are in better shape than I thought?”

“They don’t seem to have very destructive tendencies.”

Even while moving to meet Wisin, the Jet Black Knights’ evaluation of Odrite’s environment continued.

Although the Sanctuary of Prestige completely dominates the surrounding area, the buildings in Odrite have largely maintained their form.

It was a very different scene from the ruins created elsewhere.

It could be that the people who controlled this place were of a relatively moderate nature, or else they might have been attracted to other places.

At the very least, if the two prestige had directly clashed, the surrounding world would have been devastated, so it seemed clear that the relationship between the two was unusual.

“I can feel the enormous karma over there.”

As the Jet Black Knights moved forward for a while, Zion, who was at the rear, was able to come across the shape of someone in the distance.

A strange being with a huge size and carrying an enormous amount of karma.

No matter who saw it, its prestige was unmistakable.

“That thing over there is prestige… Now, wait a minute…!”

“Something…is strange…?

The members of the Jet Black Knights, who had discovered their prestige, were keeping a close eye on them and narrowing the distance between them.

Astiya, who was looking at the dignitaries, expressed a question with a puzzled expression.

The reactions of the members who approached Wisin with Astiya were not much different.

They were all embarrassed as they looked at the majesty before their eyes.

This was because there was a scene there that all members of the Jet Black Knights, including Astiya, had never expected.

“Is this… prestige…?”

The distance has now become so close that it can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

There was a huge puddle there.

And within that huge pool, there was a large bird wrapped in fire and a majestic bear made of ice.

Cheeeeeeeeek-.

The water in the puddle is heated by the flames surrounding the bird.

And in one corner, an ice bear with its forehead wrapped in a huge cloth was dipping into boiling water with a happy expression on its face.

– “Lululala~.”

The bear made of ice hummed excitedly, picked up hot water and poured it on its arm.

The phoenix, boiling water in a puddle, also appeared to be singing and moving its beak with a satisfied expression.

Chii Iik-.

However, their singing did not last long.

This was because the ice bear, which was washing itself in a hot pool, turned its head and looked in the direction where Alcandio and the Jet Black Knights were.

The ice bear that discovered the punitive force twitched its eyebrows and then spoke, conveying its will to the knights.

– “What is it?”

“······?”

– “Don’t disturb me while I’m taking a bath.”

“······.”

A brief silence.

In response to the petty lines delivered from magnificent thoughts, a heavy silence fell over the Jet Black Knights.

Alcandio also seemed to be quite embarrassed, holding on to the holy sword at his waist and not knowing what to do.

But even for a moment.

Crash.

Astiya, holding the sword hanging from her waist, looked at the dignitaries in front of her and spoke.

“Everyone ready for battle.”

Sereung-.

The swords were drawn out with the sound of metal rubbing, and the Jet Black Knights all prepared for battle.

* * * * * *

The front of the smartphone standing in my room.

There I looked at the smartphone screen with a dejected expression.

The images of the dignitaries projected on the screen were truly shocking.

At least for me, it must have been a very shocking sight.

“Why is a polar bear bathing in a hot spring?”

As I was looking at the mind-blowing sight, my hand restlessly touched my forehead.

I had a feeling that this battle would be quite long.
