Episode 205 Wizard Calurien (4)

‘Did my father always look like this?’

The limbs, which were like solid marble pillars, were thick with fat, and the face, which looked like a ferocious animal, was full of age spots and unsightly acne. No, if he thought about it, his father was just like he remembered.

His father was still the same person who had terrified him in the past.

But Ethelred has changed.

He was a king, a commander, and most of all, he was guided by Isaac.

Ethelred never forgot to practice the swordsmanship that Isaac had taught her even for a single day. But he never used it against Alfred. Ethelred took a step forward as if possessed.

Ethelred’s change was revealed even more dramatically due to Kaldbuch.

His hair color became brighter, and the flashy tattoos on his skin took on a brighter glow. The pupils had an unrealistic green glow.

Ethelred raised her sword.

The rainwater stepped aside as if to worship the king.

All the knights in the area felt the scent of the birch forest. The sound of raindrops hitting felt especially loud.

As if they were the only ones left on the battlefield.

Ethelred’s sword energy was quiet, but had the power of a storm.

Alfred raised his sword upward to block it.

Ethelred lowered her sword.

Without the sound of the sword breaking, Kaldbuch pierced Alfred’s body.

Alfred, holding the broken sword with both hands, looked as if he was surrendering with both hands raised. His body turned into fallen leaves and scattered before he fell.

Ethelred looked down to see him scattering, sighing as if the old tree was letting out its breath.

The terrified boy finally became a man when he killed his father.

Ethelred answered while looking at the scattered traces of Alfred.

“Kaldbuch is mine.”

The knights of Elil were thrilled by the sight of the king who came from the earth.

***

Isaac felt that the tide of the knights was beginning to change.

‘Ethelred did it!’

Although he was too far away to know, he was certain of Ethelred’s victory as he saw that the knights’ movements had changed to a tendency to retreat. At the same time, a will was also conveyed from Hezabel.

‘The kid did it! ‘The knights retreat!’

In fact, Isaac did not completely trust Ethelred and let her go.

No matter how much he was the king, he couldn’t leave it alone irresponsibly. Therefore, Hesabel was instructed to intervene if the situation was dangerous, but there was no need for her to step forward.

Calurien entrusted the command and control of these knights to Alfred. However, as Alfred was defeated by Ethelred, it was clear that the knights were taken over by the way Ethelred showed.

Just like they were amazed when Isaac destroyed the golem.

‘Although there was an angel’s command, Kaldbuch is a symbol of the king. It will be an authority that will be difficult to refuse.’

Angels are divine beings that are encountered only once in a while, but they have been loyal to the king who holds the Kaldbuch their whole lives. It is inevitable that one is instinctively drawn to a knight with a sword rather than a wizard.

Of course, it was not expected that the Knights of Elil would obey Ethelred based on this alone. However, it was expected that Cal Lurien would change his direction by simply taking a wait-and-see approach until he gave a separate order.

The problem was golems and magical creatures.

In addition to all kinds of golems, chimeras, which were a combination of all kinds of beasts, were flying, crawling, and running, eagerly targeting Isaac. Isaac had already defeated several golems and chimeras, but he felt his strength growing weaker.

‘I’ll join you!’

Fortunately, while Isaac was fighting, Hesabel joined him at some point. Although she was still invisible, she showed off her presence by piercing the heads of the gargoyles that were bothering Isaac with several arrows.

At that time, a lava golem attacked Isaac with its large body to strike him. Isaac was planning on protecting himself with the Key of Ru ad-Din and risking minor injury when suddenly an arrow pierced the lava golem’s torso.

At that moment, the lava golem stopped emitting its hot heat and flowed down to the ground. Isaac was surprised to realize that Hesabel had found and destroyed the invisible golem’s catalyst in one go.

‘How did you know about it?’

‘What, the heart of a golem? There was nowhere else to shoot.’

It seemed like she did it without even knowing it. As a child, she felt that Sabelle herself did not know how much she had grown.

The ability to instinctively find the opponent’s weaknesses and launch a fatal sneak attack.

She had already grown up.

Isaac saw this and decided to prepare for the next turn of the battle.

‘I’ll need Hezabel’s help this time.’

It is time for Hesabel, the SSS-level gambling master who will soon kill God and eat angels to save the nation, come into play.

***

“teacher!”

Ethelred quickly ran towards Isaac. Ethelred, who borrowed the power of an angel, even ran at an incredible speed, and as soon as she ran, she hit the nearby golem with the same momentum and threw it away.

bang. The golem itself must have been enormous, but it rolled several times as if it had been hit by a large truck, and then stopped after hitting another golem.

However, Ethelred also staggered as if the shock had been severe.

“Don’t do foolish things while intoxicated with power. your majesty.”

Isaac was dumbfounded and scolded.

Ethelred smiled brightly and looked at him. Isaac felt that Ethelred’s mood had changed a lot.

No, his appearance had changed. Even though the separation was only for a short moment, not only did his physical body change as if a long time had passed, but tree branches and leaves had grown even on the armor he was wearing, and a cloak of fallen leaves like an angel was flowing down to the floor on his back.

“Is that also the power of Kaldbuch?”

“yes. It seems so. “From the moment I awakened my sword energy, I was able to draw out even more strength.”

I also didn’t know that there was a gap in Kaldbuch where power could be drawn at each stage. It seemed that the stronger one’s power, the stronger the angel’s power and the appearance similar to an angel.

“I will take care of these mischievous people! Teacher, please stop Calurien!”

Isaac wanted to ask the king not to talk like a lackey out of respect for his dignity, but there was no one better suited to dealing with golems than Ethelred. No matter how good Hesabel’s sniping skills are, she won’t be able to pierce golems with hard outer shells.

Isaac looked up at the sky.

The storm was still raging, and within it, the angels were fighting an incomprehensible and wondrous battle. However, when looking at the overall situation, it seemed like the sword of May was gradually becoming more advantageous.

The Sword of May only had three rings left, and its flame was considerably weakened, but Calurien was in even worse condition. Three Caluriens were floating in the sky, fighting.

His clothes looked like tattered rags, as if he had been regenerated and destroyed so many times, and even they showed signs of clumsy regeneration.

As the Sword of May swung the ring tautly once more, another Calurien was cut off and escaped. He tried to do something, but he could only tell that he had failed by the fierce sparks flying around the Sword of May.

‘That’s strange.’

Overall, it was clear that the Sword of May was overwhelming Kalurien. The situation on the ground may have been a variable, but in any case, fatigue and injuries were accumulating for Calurien.

But for some reason, Isaac felt a strong sense of discomfort and ominousness.

It was so chivalrous.

‘Is there any reason for Kalurien, a man of wisdom and magic, to insist on such a chivalrous fight?’

Of course, Kalurien used a lot of magic and brought out many subordinates who would take his side. However, it was an extremely ‘chivalrous’ head-on confrontation suitable for a large-scale battle.

Kalurien doesn’t fight like that.

He is a ‘wizard’, a famous angel who emphasizes wisdom as much as courage and honor. Above all, Kalurien’s talent, the illusion that the Sword of May warned about, has not yet appeared.

Above all, this is Elil’s paradise.

The fact that Calurien, Elil’s best angel, is not even on an equal level and is being pushed aside in a place that is almost like his home ground can only lead to a different conclusion.

Kalurien is conserving his strength.

The Sword of May was also unable to easily finish off Kalurien, perhaps because it was feeling a sense of discomfort.

***

‘We’ll have no choice but to hurry and help.’

Whatever plan Calurien was hiding, we had to either make him figure it out quickly or end it before he did. Otherwise, they will be the ones who will have to deal with Calurien after the May Sword is over.

‘Hesabel, can you tell which of the three is the real Calurien?’

‘no. All three look real.’

Hezabel can penetrate the flow of life. This is not a matter of whether the senses are good or bad, but is due to the mystery of the doctrine of the Red Grail, so it cannot be deceived. In other words, it meant that Calurien’s clones were not lies, but were really clones of Kalurien who shared Kalurien’s life.

Kalurien continued to use powerful and wondrous magic. As the three of them took turns using such magic, the Sword of May was constantly bombarded with powerful magic. In particular, no matter how powerful the sword of May was, as the three of them used regeneration, protection, and attack alternately, contrary to appearance, only the sword of May was depleted of stamina.

‘It’s impossible to win if you can’t suppress all of Calurien at once.’

I remembered the time when I subdued Hecatli.

Calurien was an opponent dozens of times stronger than before, but it seemed unlikely that the Sword of May would win without assistance.

‘But how? At least if we fight on the ground… … .’

“Kaaaaagh!”

Even in that situation, attacks against Isaac and his group continued.

When Ethelred joined, the golems did not dare to confront them and were destroyed, but the chimeras, who hit and run quickly, were an exception. Isaac quickly snatched up the winged chimera that was running toward him, spitting fire.

The movement was as natural as grabbing the scruff of a passing dog’s neck. The chimera flailed as if bitten by a snake, but Isaac immediately slammed his left hand into the back of its head.

Wood clatter. As soon as the left hand dug into the back of the head, it deformed and the tentacle took control of the guy’s head in an instant. As the parasites from beyond took root in the nerve cells, the chimera began to tremble and move as Isaac had intended.

‘Hesabel, shoot Kalurien on the right!’

‘yes? Me? how?’

Hesabel sent a ridiculous will.

How could you possibly point out all of that? If you teach them one by one, they will not grow.

He had given Hezabel an order, and Hezabel now desperately had to find a way to carry out the order.

Growth happens when that happens.

Ever since Isaac fell into this world, he has been receiving missions like this, performing them desperately and receiving rewards. If she has the potential to make it big for Hesabel, then surely she can do it somehow too.

‘There’s nothing I can do if I fail.’

Isaac flew towards Calurien on the left.

The sword of May, which saw Isaac soaring high on the Chimera, glanced at him, and then, as if realizing what his intention was, began to fire an onslaught at Calurien in front. Kalurien also noticed Isaac’s approach and gave him a look.

As Isaac got closer to Kalurien, his head started to feel cold.

‘Am I doing this in my right mind?’

When I think about it, that thing up there in the sky is an angel.

No matter how much he defeated the angel who attacked Kaldbuch, it was no different from damaging Kaldbuch and threatening him to disappear. In a sense, it is a hostage situation.

But now the opponent is Elil’s first famous angel, Kalurien.

No matter how much power is divided, it is an angel strong enough to compete head-on with the Sword of May. The little boy was beginning to suspect that he might be the biggest idiot ever.

At that moment, Kalurien snapped her fingers without even looking at him. At the same time, the chimera that was flying carrying Isaac fell over, turned into various animals, and began to fall. Of course, Isaac, who was soaring, also fell together.

“Hahaha!”

Isaac burst out laughing. Calurien was intentionally letting Isaac fly higher. So that you can drop it cleanly and kill it.

However, the reason Isaac burst out laughing was because he realized that Calurien was so careless that he only believed in that and left him alone until he got this close.

“You underestimated me for a long time, Kalurien!”
