Episode 193 leading to death (3)

Isaac measured the distance from the holy city of Elion. He was walking, as the road was impassable on his horse, but it was not easy to walk quickly where the water was up to his ankles.

‘It’s getting closer, but… … .’

The silhouette of Elion, a sacred place that seemed far away, had become quite close. Beyond the cliff, which seemed to be surrounded by sharp spears forming a barrier, was the place where Elil’s body was buried.

But Isaac kept looking back.

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

This was because whispers with clear warning messages continued to be heard. Isaac was already feeling an ominous energy from the direction of Elion Castle. The dark shadows cast over the castle were clearly traces of the Immortal Church.

‘It looks like he’s finally revealed his true colors.’

In that case, it was clear that they would also be running towards this place, ready to die, no, ready to be destroyed. The only chance to turn things around will now be found only in the Holy Land of Elion.

“Let’s hurry. It looks like the Immortal Cultists are just leaving.”

“yes? But the Aldeon army will be holding them… … .”

“If these people who have no fear, are not afraid of dying, and do not care about being injured, decide to escape, no one will be able to stop them. Even if the Aldeon army comes, that place is a battlefield. “There must be a lot of corpses piled up there.”

Ethelred’s face turned blue as she realized what Isaac’s words were implying. According to Isaac’s words, there was a high probability that Aldeon’s army was already fighting the undead army.

“Shouldn’t we go back? “It won’t be too late to clear out all the Buddhist cultists and go to the Holy Land!”

“The reason we have to go to the Holy Land is not to kill the Immortal Cult. “It is to prevent the Buddhist cult from invading the holy land.”

Even if you eliminate all of the undead in Elion Fortress, if the Immortal Church invades the sanctuary, it will all be over. As Isaac was trying to explain how dangerous it was for the Immortal Cult to invade the sacred site, he spotted an army approaching from afar.

White cold air spread out like waves, and at the same time, a glacial path opened up on the surface of the lake. And above them, hundreds of cavalry troops were running at breakneck speed. The cold legs were moderately rough and did not slip.

At the head was Billon Georg. Isaac recognized him holding the Lumiad even from a distance and smiled bitterly.

‘It’s faster than I thought. Even Lumiard.’

It would not have been possible to steal it without killing Lyanna.

Isaac felt confused at the fact that Bilon had decided. On the other hand, Ethelred’s complexion turned pale when she saw the cavalry running towards her, but she held onto Kaldbuch tightly with a stern expression.

“Lumiad… … ?”

Isaac blocked his path with his hand.

“Please refrain from using Kaldbuch. your majesty.”

“yes? But I also have to help… … .”

“It’s strange. There is no intervention from angels when the Buddhist cult invades the holy land in such a blatant manner. “It seems like they are intentionally neglecting it or encouraging it.”

Isaac still had his suspicions that one of Elil’s angels was manipulating Georg’s rebels. And if the angel still did not give up his purpose, he would even mobilize the Immortal Church to stop him. In that case, there was a possibility that Kaldbuch using angelic power would backfire.

“Holy Grail Knight!!”

Villon’s angry roar was heard across the surface of the lake. Isaac took out the Ruad Din key. Ethel Red also decided to add her strength without drawing on Kald Buch’s strength. It looked trustworthy, but it was questionable whether it would actually be helpful.

‘In a sacred place watched over by angels, fighting hundreds of undead knights from Elil with a child by your side? The difficulty level was a bit crazy. chaos? If you don’t want me to die here, why don’t you do something?’

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

[Nameless Chaos wants you to punish ‘Vilon Georg the Corruptor.’]

[A reward of chaos awaits you.]

Are you providing motivation instead of helping directly? Isaac chuckled.

“Why not try something?”

***

Isaac stared straight ahead at Billon, who was running towards him. The calm surface of the lake trembled from the vibrations of the cavalry pounding the legs with their horses’ hooves. Vilon rushed forward without hesitation, dispersing the storm of cold air emanating from the Lumiad.

This meant that not only he, but even the cavalrymen around him, would not be affected.

‘The undead of the Immortal Church are not affected by cold.’

It may be because of the energy of the dead, but they already give off a cool aura just by being close to them. Thanks to this, the irony of the undead of the Immortal Church wielding Elil’s holy relics was possible.

‘Well, I’m also using the Ruaddin key.’

Isaac lifted the Ruaddin key high and raised his sword energy to its maximum.

Parrrrr! The flame of the Ruad Din Key wriggled with a strange, dark purple energy. It was a dancing, undulating movement as if performing a strange ritual.

Isaac concentrated as much as he could and imitated the advanced swordsmanship used by the Aldeon knights.

There is no past, and there is no future. There is only the will to kill the enemy in front of you.

A sound like crushing metal came from Isaac’s hand as he held the Ruad Din key. He struck the bridge leading to the holy city of Elion like a thunderbolt.

In an instant, the sound disappeared.

Instead of sound, powerful waves first spread throughout the lake. As the waves pushed back fiercely, the bridge beneath the water, bleached white, appeared for an instant. And belatedly, a loud noise erupted.

The bridge that connects the Kingdom of Elil and the graveyard of Elil is a sacred site and relic in itself. It didn’t collapse due to Isaac’s attacks or anything like that. It would probably have been the same no matter what kind of miracle was performed.

But the shock doesn’t just disappear.

The result was a violent vibration that shook the entire bridge.

Quadddddd! The icy roads that Billon had created were broken or fell apart due to the vibrations. The reason hundreds of cavalry troops were able to run on ice was because the sturdy bridges served as supports. But now the bridge was giving up the road.

When the ice broke, the undead knights were scared and tried to stop. But it was already too late to respond.

“General Bilon!”

Numerous undead knights stumbled from that single blow and fell to the bottom of the water.

Wearing heavy armor, they sank to the bottom of the lake like stones without even a chance to rise. The center is a lake that is almost hundreds of meters long. It will take a year for them to crawl out from the bottom of the water.

‘Of course, if you can find a way out from under the infamous fog and black water of Lake Elyon… … .’

“this guy!”

Unfortunately, Bilon did not fall under the bridge due to Isaac’s blow. He hurriedly sprayed cold air around the area to repair the ice, but nearly half of the undead knights had already fallen into the lake.

It was Billon who knew better than anyone else about the infamous fog and depth of Lake Elion. He realized that he had lost many of his comrades to Isaac’s blow.

Without even a chance to enjoy the rewards of selling your soul to the Immortal Church and becoming undead.

“I will kill you!”

“Even angels failed. Can you do it?”

Isaac laughed at Billon’s spirit and raised his sword.

***

Bilon, who quickly cut through the surface of the water, violently charged towards Isaac.

The electric horse that Billon drove was a powerful weapon just by its weight alone. However, Isaac had no intention of going toe-to-toe with the deadly undead from Elil.

The moment the collision got closer, the colors from beyond, which had already been scattered on the ground, grabbed Jeonma’s ankles. It wasn’t enough to grab me and pull me, but it was enough to make me fall in an unexpected place. As soon as the electric horse stumbled and fell, Villon bounced off at the same speed.

Billon tumbled awkwardly across the bridge.

Isaac quickly attacked Billon without giving him a chance to get up.

‘That guy is no longer a believer in Elil, so he can give up on fair competition.’

bang! Isaac’s deadly sword struck Billon. Bilon barely raised his sword and blocked Isaac’s attack. If it had been an ordinary sword, it would have been split by Isaac’s sword energy and fell down to his neck, but the sword that Bilon held was the holy sword Lumiad.

Damn it! Cold air burst out like an explosion. Isaac took a step back before even his feet froze. It was a pity that he couldn’t finish it in one go, but this would have been a sure way to take the lead.

Ice powder flew into fragments from Billon’s body as he rolled over and stood up. The man who became undead did not breathe or suffer from the impact of the fall.

Bilon shouted indignantly.

“This is not the place for an infidel to interfere!”

“No, are you coming now? And you are no longer an Elil believer either.”

Isaac was dumbfounded, but he brushed it off, saying that bad guys usually pretend not to notice their duplicity.

Actually, I had nothing to say about Isaac being two-faced.

Bilon was indignant at Isaac’s sarcasm and swung his sword again.

Whoosh, whoosh! Lumiad’s sword blade shone as if it were exploding, dispersing the energy that was threatening Isaac’s life. Just as he did when fighting Lyanna, Isaac used his eyes of confusion to recognize which attack was real and destroyed it at once. However, Billon continued to attack without tiring.

This was one of the scariest things about the undead.

Undead do not get tired or feel the burden of injuries. Among them, Vilon seemed to have become undead, almost equivalent to a Death Knight, as a result of death insurance.

Although he did not learn the miracles of the Immortal Church, he already possessed the highest level of skill as an Elil Knight during his lifetime, so there was no reason for him to be inferior to a Death Knight.

However, Isaac understood Billon’s level by engaging in attacks.

‘Among the knights I’ve seen so far, he’s at the highest level, but not at the level of a sword master.’

That also meant that it would take five knights like Bilon to defeat Isaac. The reason he was able to hold on now was entirely thanks to Lumiad.

Isaac saw the opportunity to kick Lumiad away and at the same time stabbed the knife towards his neck.

Quack! However, Isaac’s attack was blocked by Bilon’s left hand. Isaac was surprised to see that Bilon was holding the key of Ruad Din infused with sword energy in his hand.

Soon, Isaac recognized that the gloves Bilon was wearing on both hands were not ordinary items, but pagan holy relics.

“Are you wearing nice things?”

However, Bilon, who knew that he was already being pushed back, listened to Isaac’s words sarcastically and gritted his teeth and glared.

“General Bilon!”

At that time, the undead knights who had taken care of the chaos joined the fight. Isaac once again put away his sword and retreated. A fairly large ice field had been created around the area due to Billon, but even after seeing the devastation earlier, it couldn’t have been spread out too widely. Thanks to this, there were at most three people who could face Isaac on the bridge at the same time.

‘It’s fortunate that the only undead are Elil believers.’

If they were real Death Knights who knew how to use the miracles of the Immortal Church and could summon ghosts or Phantom Steeds, it would have been Isaac who was in trouble.

It must have been a combined attack while flying through the air.

But now they were just knights who couldn’t expect Elil’s blessing, who fought well and didn’t die often.

On a narrow bridge like this, Isaac had a one-sided advantage.

However, just because a structure was created to confront them, it did not mean that they could all be eliminated.

‘As long as Bilon has Lumiad, he will be able to enter Elion. If he interferes with the return ceremony, everything will be ruined. ‘We have to deal with it here.’

Isaac glanced at their momentum.

Knights who served Elil and pursued glorious battles just a few days ago. But now he has become a shabby, corrupted undead, obsessed only with revenge. Wouldn’t you feel ashamed?

Isaac opened his mouth.

“I fell for the angels’ tricks and sold my honor, pride, friends, comrades, and blood relatives. “Is that all you can do with that?”

Snapping. Bilon glared at Isaac, his eyes burning with anger. But Isaac didn’t stop teasing him.

“Oh, it’s been a while since I was able to express my emotions so actively. If your face rots, you will lose the muscles to make facial expressions and your eyeballs will fall out. Of course, the hair too.”

“Shut up!”

‘Maybe it’s because he’s a knight who only fights, but his vocabulary is lacking.’

Isaac was thinking that in his mind, but without revealing it, he prompted his reaction again.

“why? Are you afraid of that happening, Bilon? Then you should have looked into the place where you will die. “If you are so scared of death that you abandon the God you have served your whole life and run away at the last minute, then what happens to the work you have done all your life?”

The knights flinched at Isaac’s words.

There was no one who was unfazed by the fact that they, too, had become the undead of the Immortal Church. Isaac predicted that if most of them had been actively encouraged to ‘become undead’, they would have rebelled and fought to the death. However, death insurance has a different nature.

They would have put off canceling their subscription while living with only a little discomfort, and at some point they would have died saying, “Ugh.” And he must have fought with the excuse that he did not intentionally apostatize. To feel less remorse.

And in order to justify himself, he would have obeyed Billon’s words more actively.

That was the scary thing about death insurance.

If you actively tell people to become undead, you will passively neglect people who would reject it and then make them accept it.
