Episode 203 Wizard Calurien (2)

I’m sorry, Heshabel. Your gamble may have failed… … .

Isaac had such gloomy thoughts, but he couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth.

The Sword of May also turned its head as if realizing that there was nothing they could do about questioning one Isaac in this absurd situation.

[Come out, Kalurien.]

Then Kalurien, who was in the back row, glided forward and flew forward. He was a wizard who looked old and shabby, but he showed no signs of being intimidated by the Sword of May.

“You’ve come a long way, young one.”

[Do you think about age while living in the time of Urbansus? I still haven’t gotten over my habits from my lizard days.]

“I lived as a dragon before the name of the Code of Light or anything came out. “If you add up the ages of all the angels in the Code of Light, they would be less than half my age.”

‘Even angels fight like that.’

It may have been funny, but in the end, they may be able to rise to a stronger status because they are mortal-born angels with precisely such characteristics.

At the same time, Isaac finally felt the depth of those years through Kalurien’s words.

The ancient gods ruled this world for tens of thousands of years until the Nine Faiths appeared. An old dragon would have lived for about ten thousand years. To Calurien, even Ruad-Din from the Code of Light was nothing more than a ‘young’ one.

Calurien’s gaze glanced at Isaac.

“It told me to come out and resolve the situation. “They said it was the only way.”

Isaac prepared himself to be laughed at. However, Kalurien’s next words were unexpected.

“He’s a smart guy. Do you like it.”

[Smart?]

“Sword of May, looking at your blocked thinking, I guess you knew that even if a monster or an angel or two came forward to stop you, it would be useless. But there are three angels here, and you are the only one. I’m sure he doesn’t plan on relying on humans.”

Kalurien said with a chuckle.

“I don’t mean to fight with numbers, but the sword of May. I don’t think you’re going to fight a foolish battle. Even angels can disappear if they die in other areas of faith. But even if we die here, we won’t die.”

The May Sword’s eyes twinkled. For the first time, Isaac learned that angels can disappear when they die in other areas of faith. The sword of May seemed light, but in fact, it was visited with great determination.

“So be grateful to the Grail Knight for giving you the opportunity to retire with honor, and don’t miss the opportunity. Sword of May. “More valuable than victory is safe retreat.”

Hesabel looked at Isaac with an expression of admiration at Kalurien’s words. She was burdened by her gaze, but in truth, Calurien’s words were somewhat true.

The sword of May never retreats. Unless it’s a fight you can’t win.

Isaac was just setting the stage for her to retreat.

Of course, in the worst case scenario, I would end up fighting those three angels, but at that time, I had my own way.

May’s sword was silent, twirling the rings of his own spear knife. Isaac knew that she was worried because he had seen it many times. After a moment of silence, May Sword finally opened her mouth.

[It’s fake.]

Kalurien didn’t move, but the sword of May threw one of the hooks it had. Hundreds of swords hovering around the ring all moved in a strange orbit and cut into Calurien, who was floating in the air.

Isaac was astonished at the fact that each and every one of those swords moved with the essence of advanced swordsmanship.

However, Kalurien dropped the swords with just a light wave of his staff. But her swords were not all equally powerful.

While some of the weaker swords fell, swords filled with great power cut the hem of Calurien’s clothes.

At that moment, Kalurien’s figure shook like fog.

Nimlot was seen clicking his tongue in the distance.

[It was your mistake that three angels appeared here. Kalurien. There is no way you, the bastards who imprisoned Elil, would have come without another guard to guard the prison.]

In other words, what the Sword of May said was that the real Calurien was by Elil’s side, watching over him, and the Calurien in front of him was a fake.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Kalurien burst out laughing.

“that’s right. That’s true. I couldn’t neglect my work. I have more important things to do than dealing with people like you. But there’s one thing you don’t know either.”

At that moment, Kalurien’s eyes flashed and he waved his left arm. At the same time, the figure in the form of a lion knight became disorganized like fog, and another figure of Calurien appeared.

“The lion knight volunteered to be Elil’s guard! He is always there so that I cannot harm him. “Not good for the role of a jailer.”

Kalurien then waved his right arm again. At the same time, the image of Nimlot also became Kalurien.

Three Caluriens, speaking in identical voices and wearing identical outfits, began to prepare their magic by waving their wands.

“The Lady of the Lake feels sorry for both me and Elil. Compassionate young lady. She guards the place of her Elil. “It is I who is facing you!”

Isaac’s opinion was accepted.

Calurien stepped forward to block the Sword of May. It wasn’t what I expected, but it wasn’t the worst either. May’s sword began to spin his own rings tightly and rapidly. I could feel the weapons breaking the speed of sound, tearing the air and releasing intense heat.

The battle was getting closer.

At that time, Kalurien, who was on the right, drew a long line with his staff from left to right. Night came like a curtain was drawn, and dark clouds and a typhoon came.

Isaac was almost toppled by the sudden gusts of wind and rain, but he managed to hold on.

Kalurien shouted in a voice of thunder amidst the thundering rain.

“It is the night of the worst storm in the Kingdom of Elil! “At the time, people called it ‘the night when angels collide’!”

***

Rumble, rumble!

The sudden arrival of the night and the typhoon were enough to devastate the entire area. Raindrops hit my body like bullets and the trees leaned as if they were about to fall down at any moment. In a situation where even standing was difficult, the large army brought by Calurien began to move.

“Is there anything special?”

[Kalurien will do his best to fight against me. You must first prevent other things from interfering with you.]

The Sword of May said that and slowly began to float. Even in the storm, her flame burned brightly as if nothing had happened.

The fiercely rotating sword rings shattered the raindrops.

[Kalurien uses deception through various illusions. Do not be deceived by illusions.]

The Sword of May warned, but Isaac was just dumbfounded. If an angel-level wizard decides to use illusions, how can a mere human tell the difference?

However, Isaac was not brought here just to use the sword of May.

[In times of emergency, use the watchman’s lighthouse. Calurien’s illusions are nothing before the light of the lighthouse.]

“It’s not something I can use often, but… … .”

When you activate Sentinel’s Lighthouse, all senses in your body immediately become heightened. I feel like I am being used as a computing device that squeezes all of my cells and checks whether the environment around me is normal. It doesn’t consume any special faith or stamina, but the more you use it, the more your brain gets overloaded and it feels like it’s going to burn out.

However, the Sword of May did not provide any additional countermeasures. Her sword Lurien began attacking her with her thunderbolts. Isaac, a wild paladin who didn’t really expect help from God in times of crisis anyway, thought he would have to take care of it on his own this time as well.

‘The only things I can trust are tentacle monsters, heretics, and vampires.’

“Glory to Elil! “All troops, charge!”

With the roar of someone who seemed to be a commander, the dead knights of Elil began to advance from beyond the storm. The problem was that this enormous typhoon even affected them, and unlike its terrifying roar, the speed at which it was running was extremely slow.

‘It seems that this typhoon is more of a means to keep the Sword of May in check than the ones below.’

Fortunately, it was a fortunate thing for Isaac.

Isaac prepared for battle, lighting up an incandescent flame on the Ruad Din Key. The warmth and vitality provided by the Ruad Din Key gave me the strength to endure the storm.

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck.

Elil’s knights gave up riding their horses in the storm, but came in line with them and came towards them. No matter how much Isaac flew and crawled, it was ridiculous to deal with 10,000 knights of Elil.

Fortunately, they had one more person who could produce angelic powers.

“Your Majesty, please.”

I said I couldn’t fight the three angels, but the knights would be okay, right? Of course, they are Ethelred’s ancestors, but won’t they be revived tomorrow? If Isaac and Heshabel die here, there will be no tomorrow.

Ethelred held Kaldbuch in her hand with a stern expression.

“Please leave it to me, sir. Calurien dared to confess with his own mouth that he was imprisoning Elil, so those knights are just being used by Calurien.”

Looking at Ethelred’s determination, it didn’t seem like she would hesitate and get stabbed just because they were her ancestors.

As the angelic power transmitted from Kaldbuch became stronger, even small flowers and plants began to grow under Ethelred’s feet. Isaac was surprised that Ethelred had not yet unleashed Kaldbuch’s true power.

“Then I’ll ask you to come back… … ah.”

For a moment, Ethelred’s eyes wavered. Ethelred was staring at the large, fat knight standing at the forefront of Elil’s knights.

Isaac noticed Ethelred’s hands shaking and grabbed her shoulders.

“Your Majesty, why are you doing this?”

“Ah, father.”

In front of the Elil knights, King Alfred, who died of high blood pressure, roared loudly and ran.

“Glory to Elil!”

***

The battle between angels in the sky was taking place in a realm that was difficult for humans to understand.

The sword of May uses weapons made up of hundreds of weapons with a single ring. And each of those weapons can use advanced swordsmanship. In addition, advanced swordsmanship is even more effective when used by many, not as an individual unit, but as a group of knights.

And the sword of May has five rings.

In other words, she was able to unleash an attack equal to at least five Holy Knights in an instant.

Considering that a siege was possible with just one group of Holy Knights when there were no priests or paladins on the opposing side, it was a destructive power that was hard to imagine.

[I have already seen a wizard like you in the Kingdom of Elil. Kalurien.]

The May Sword moved its ring and launched an attack towards Kalurien. As soon as each attack containing the techniques of advanced swordsmanship reached hundreds of units, it became one gigantic energy and took over the entire area as an unrealistic phenomenon.

It had the shape of a coiled snake.

bang. The moment the sword snake collided with the intangible protective shield surrounding Calurien’s body, sparks brighter than lightning jumped out and flowed like a waterfall. May’s sword did not stop its attack and continued to attack like a saw.

[It’s miserable to see them being old, foolish, and struggling to survive! How can you believe that such a witch was of the same race as Elil?]

They were talking about Hecatli, the Sword of May.

In the past, Hecatli was an elf like Elil. However, like countless other elves who were defeated by Elil, he was defeated and ran away, even losing his past pride.

[Are you also trying to make Elil like that witch, that great knight!]

Calurien was unfazed by the roar of the May Sword. He was barely able to withstand the attack of the May Sword, but at some point, he released his protective shield. He then struck down the rings of the swords that were charging at him with his staff.

It seemed foolish to fight against the ring of the Sword of May swinging with a staff, but what jumped out was not a fragment of Kalurien, but a flock of wild geese splitting up and down and scattering.

As hundreds of weapons turned into a flock of wild geese in a single move, the sword of May urgently recovered its attack.

“Do you think I am loyal to Elil, young one?”

Calurien muttered, pushing his glasses up under his hat.

The geese were caught in the storm, stumbling and plummeting, but when Kalurien aimed the tip of his staff at the Sword of May, they flew in that direction. May’s sword sensed danger and swung his sword at the wild geese.

Gori slaughtered the geese with ease, but what was scattered was not blood but dark smoke.

“If I had been blindly loyal to Elil, he would have died on the battlefield long ago! “Even now, I’m busy trying to stop him from committing suicide!”
