Episode 204 Wizard Calurien (3)

The moment the smoke enveloped May’s sword, her flame turned black. Although she didn’t know the exact identity of May’s black smoke, she knew that it was drastically weakening her flame.

And the flames spewing out of her body were not only a connection point with the Code of Light, but also a source of power in Elil’s Urbansus.

“I knew those Code of Light bastards would always cause this mess! “Did you think I would just play and wait?”

If it were Isaac, he would have realized that the identity of the smoke was ‘carbon dioxide gas.’ But even that was just something he noticed, and he probably didn’t know how to respond.

The Sword of May controlled the rapidly weakening flame and concentrated its power on just one move.

Calurien felt an eerie feeling and quickly moved his body.

pop. The next moment, Calurien realized that the Sword of May was no longer in front of him, and that the right side of his body had been completely blown away.

The sword of May was behind him, glaring at him from about 500 meters away. Kalurien met her gaze and smiled.

“I didn’t know that heavy body could move so fast. “Until now, it has been moving at a pace that matches the walking speed of humans.”

[I didn’t know that old, shabby body could move so fast. I don’t think you usually exercise, but did you sweat a little?]

Kalurien burst into laughter at the words of the May Sword and swung his staff again. Then, other Caluriens appeared next to him. When the other Calurien used magic, Calurien’s injured body was instantly restored.

The Sword of May also revived the dying flame. But her flame did not burn as dramatically as before. This is because it was difficult to regenerate the flame within Elil’s Urbansus.

Her eyes naturally turned to the ground.

The true secret weapon prepared by the Sword of May was not yet ready.

‘I wish you would hurry, Holy Grail Knight… … .’

***

Unfortunately, things weren’t going so well for Isaac either.

“Kill those who dare to invade Elil’s bedroom!”

The knights of Elil, soaked in blood and madness, flocked in all at once. It was also a group of knights controlled by just one strong leader.

As they began to charge in unison, drawing out their advanced sword skills, the flow of troops became one gigantic monster sweeping the ground without even interfering with each other.

Kukukukukuk! In order to break the flow, Isaac quickly rushed in first and struck his weak point. The momentum created by the knights instantly tightened Isaac as if he was going to eat him. Numerous wounds appeared on Isaac’s body in an instant, but even within them, Isaac caught his weak spot.

No matter how strong a chain is, if a weak part breaks, it will come loose.

When Isaac used his sword to destroy the knights’ weak points, the fierce momentum collapsed. However, just because his veins were cut off, not all of the Elil knights died.

‘Ethelred must step forward.’

The king who uses Kaldbuch is so powerful that it can be called a strategic weapon.

But Ethelred was now facing the worst enemy of his life.

“A kid who hasn’t even grown a beard!”

The late King Alfred burst into maniacal laughter and swung his huge two-handed sword indiscriminately. Each and every seemingly violent sword strike contained the art of Aldeon’s swordsmanship, boasting so much power that even Ethel Red holding the sword d’buch had his feet dug into the ground.

However, in Isaac’s view, it was not Alfred’s strength or skill that was constricting Ethelred’s movements, but his own fear.

‘Shall I shoot?’

Isaac was about to run out to help him, but stopped when he heard Hezabel’s will. As soon as the battle began, Hesabel disappeared somewhere. It wasn’t that she was running away, it was that she was hiding in the battlefield where she had the best advantage.

Isaac bit his lip and then sent his will to her.

‘No, this is a problem Ethelred must overcome on her own.’

The opportunity to face and overcome your own trauma, your own fears, and your own guilt does not come often. Looking into the distant future, I didn’t want to block Ethelred’s opportunity to grow.

‘If I get over this wall… … Ethelred may be able to glimpse the level of a sword master.’

***

No one can know who can become a Sword Master or what their qualifications are.

It is said that it only appears to Elil believers, but Isaac was awakened even though he was not an Elil believer.

It is said that his qualities stand out at a young age, but Bilon showed an awakening after becoming undead. That means that maybe the sword technique is not a miracle allowed only to Elil believers.

‘No, maybe people misunderstand swordsmanship and sword skills themselves.’

Since sword masters appear only among Elil believers, sword skills have been recognized as a miracle of Elil.

But how can Isaac, who is not an Elil believer in the first place, use sword skills?

Perhaps there are other conditions for awakening sword energy that no one knows about.

Not only is the Elil faith capable of awakening sword energy, but other faiths may be preventing their followers from awakening sword energy.

However, even if becoming a sword master was not something that could be achieved with effort, Isaac knew that Ethelred could at least become a sword master.

‘What Ethelred needs is experience, and… … It was about overcoming my fear of my father.’

If she wins this fight, Ethelred may achieve dramatic growth. He didn’t know whether it would lead to becoming a sword master in a short period of time, but he was confident that it would at least be a great help in overcoming the current difficulties.

Boom, boom, boom!

At that time, another group joined the fight.

A group of giant golems. They were magical servants created by Calurien.

The small ones ranged from 5 meters to the large ones, reaching over 10 meters, and they approached us in stride.

Isaac ran ahead before the guys approached. This was to prevent Ethelred, who was barely holding on, from being disturbed. As Isaac quickly dug in, the golem hit the ground. Every time, the muddy ground caved in and muddy water burst out like a waterfall.

He opened his eight-pronged sword at the nearest little guy. The key of Ruad-Din, clad in a sword, cut the stone like a tofu, breaking it into dozens of pieces in an instant.

‘this… … ‘That’s tricky.’

However, Isaac’s expression was not bright.

The golem collapsed for a brief moment, but the broken stones rose into the air again and restored their original shape before they even fell to the ground.

Instead of being a rock, it was just a golem made of pebbles. Because the golem was ultimately an inanimate object powered by magic, it could not be defeated until the object that acted as a catalyst for magic inside it was destroyed.

Because complex processing is required, the lower the level of golems, the larger the catalyst inside them. These golems are the work of Kalurien, the progenitor of wizards, a dragon and an angel.

I cut it into pieces like that, but there wasn’t even a trace of the catalyst.

‘Using tentacles won’t help either. Although its tentacles are good at eating anything, they are not capable of eating and digesting stones.’

The golem wasn’t even made of stone. Perhaps it was Kalurien’s hobby, but there were golems made of steel, titanium, and even lava.

Isaac smiled bitterly and began to see the colors beyond.

It was a difficult situation.

Even if the May Sword could not defeat Calurien, he would have to deal with the angel after all of them were defeated.

Perhaps the worst situation since appearing in this world.

‘That means today I will cross my limits once again.’

Isaac jumped on top of the gravel golem, holding up the Ruaddin Key and violently emitting sword energy.

Parrrrr! The blazing flames seemed to explode and strike like a thunderbolt. The sword energy shattered the gravel golem once again, and at the same time restrained the pebbles from scattering and pulverized them once more.

This process occurred in less than a second.

Among the fragments that shattered into sand, a strange-looking turquoise stone crumbled. The golem could not stand up again.

Rather than a strategic action, it was just a reckless strike with force. Considering the number of golems, it was an action that could not be repeated several times. However, it had its own effect, and even the Elil knights who were constantly surrounding Isaac faltered.

The knights of heaven, who come back to life even after death, did not stop because they felt fear.

Rather, it was the opposite. They were feeling a strange sense of awe towards Isaac.

In the face of countless enemies, even powerful beings with no hope in sight, Isaac stood against them without hesitation. Whether he is a pagan or has invaded Elil’s bed, it does not matter.

I just look at Isaac as a being close to the utopia of Elil faith.

Isaac made eye contact with Ethelred, who was fighting from afar. Isaac smiled proudly at the knights and Ethelred, then rushed towards the other golem.

Now, Isaac saw hope in the knights’ reaction.

The success or failure of this battle depends on Ethelred.

***

“You can only do so much with a Kaldbuch, you’re such a weak guy!”

bang. Ethelred’s father, the tyrant Alfred, burst into maniacal laughter and continued to attack her. His physical strength and speed, which did not match his massive size, showed that he did not earn the rank of Sword Master for nothing.

“Ugh… … !”

Ethelred tried to repel Alfred’s attack by swinging Kaldbuch, but he never accepted the struggle.

He realized that Ethelred’s skills were much lower than his own.

Even if Ethelred borrows the angel’s power through Kaldbuch, it is not her own. Compared to Alfred, he was inferior in all aspects except strength, skill, speed, and experience. It was clear that the sword Alfred was holding was not an ordinary sword as it did not get damaged even when the blade clashed with Kaldbuch.

“This guy is my prey! “Do not disturb!”

Alfred even excluded other knights and dealt with Ethelred alone.

Ethelred felt strange at that sight.

‘Don’t you know that I am your child?’

Alfred died only a few years ago. There is no way you don’t know Ethelred. However, Alfred did not pour out all the degrading and self-esteem-degrading comments he usually made to Ethelred. Of course, he made fun of his skills, but it was just like provoking a knight he met on the battlefield.

I had no intention of appealing to the affection between father and son anyway. But he felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of standing before his sword as just a knight.

‘father… … .’

“How dare you think differently about me!”

puck. Alfred kicked Ethelred in the stomach and tried to push her down. If he had fallen, he would have immediately jumped up and put a knife in his throat, but Ethelred managed to hold on to the ground with Kaldbuch. His breathing became heavy. Fear crawled up my spine. Memories of the night he was beaten by his father came to mind.

Alfred’s sword, which he swung in a frenzy, was not a sword but a whip. The sound of thunder felt like his rants and mocking words, and the pouring rain felt like the voices of his subjects whispering about his tyranny.

Ethelred felt herself getting younger and younger than she was now.

I felt weaker, more depressed, and more miserable. He clearly had the power of an angel in his hands, but that power was no longer felt as a speck of dust.

A cruel smile appeared on Alfred’s lips.

“Give me Kaldbuch! “It’s mine!”

Kwakwakwak! At that time, a roar rang out from one side of the battlefield. It was the sound of Isaac crushing the approaching giant golem with a single blow. Even the knights in the area turned their heads to look at the roar louder than the sound of thunder.

Instead of feeling victorious on the rubble of the collapsed golem, Isaac just looked around looking for his next opponent.

Truly a war god.

It looked like the incarnation of King Elil.

Isaac made eye contact with Ethelred even though they were so far away. Ethelred flinched. At the same time, his shame washed over him. Because compared to Isaac, he was too small and shabby. But at the same time, I had the thought that he might come to save me.

However, Isaac smiled slightly and ran towards another direction.

It seems like Ethelred can solve that level of problem on her own.

A sudden shiver came to Ethelred at that one-sided and resolute belief.

“How long are you planning on paying attention?”

Alfred struck Ethelred with his two-handed sword once again.

The ultimate in Aldeon swordsmanship. Advanced swordsmanship capable of shattering even a sturdy castle gate with a single blow was demonstrated with the help of a sword. Ethelred felt as if a battering ram hit her head.

bang. Ethelred easily took Alfred’s sword.

At the same time, it even pushed him back. Alfred, who had no intention of engaging in a contest of strength, quickly backed away, but he felt that Ethelred’s momentum had shifted somewhere.

In fact, Ethelred was going through a change.
