One.
It is said that a 9-star knight who has mastered the Jehaesik will be able to reach the great ocean.
At first, Charon thought the remark was merely a metaphor.
But the moment Charon saw Halo’s sword unfold, he realized what it meant.
The sea of halo unfolds.
Unlike Charon’s own sea, Halo’s sea was eerily calm.
Halo just swings his sword in the middle of the ocean.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
He only swung his sword once, but that one strike cut everything in front of him in half.
Crunch.
The skull of the bone dragon, Erekis, is split in half.
The power of the strongest being, which transcends human limitations, is fully revealed here.
“Halo Reston!”
The Demon King of Sloth looked at Halo and shouted in amusement. But before he could say anything else, Halo’s sword flashed once more.
Crunch.
Although he only swung it once, Halo’s black sloth tore the Demon King into hundreds of pieces.
Halo’s sword, Gram, burns pure white and slices through sloth.
Swordsmanship that reached the level of a god was displayed before Caron’s eyes.
Halo’s sword had no weaknesses, and he allowed the Sloth King no resistance.
“Natae. A guy who should have been stuck in the Demon Realm has crawled out onto the continent. Do you think I’ll let you do whatever you want?”
Halo’s voice echoed quietly, but Charon could tell that Halo was very angry.
Halo, who usually did not show her emotions easily, must have been so angry because of Charon and herself.
-… … You can faint now. From now on, your grandfather will take care of everything.
“No. I have to see it with my own eyes.”
What kind of being is a knight who has reached the 9th level, and what level he must reach.
You have to take all of those things in.
Because this was the first time in my life that I saw Halo fight for real.
My vision keeps getting blurry.
Although his eyelids were constantly shut, perhaps because he had lost so much blood, Charon looked at Halo with a smile.
The Halo Sea dominated everything around.
The sea that reached the 9th star and merged into one did not allow even an inch of space to the enemies.
Every time the sword flashes, the feathers scattered by the Demon King of Sloth disappear.
The power of the Demon King, other than the main body, cannot reach the power of the Halo.
“How funny, old wolf. Are you so old that you can’t even see your own fate?”
The body of the Demon King of Sloth scatters into feathers and then reassembles.
The process is repeated continuously.
That was all he could do. Halo didn’t even give the Demon King a chance to fight back.
The waves crash and the whirlpools rise.
The sea containing Halo’s wrath crushes everything of the Demon King of Sloth.
“Aren’t you curious about your grandson? Why is he so talented, and what does he know? If you were that monster’s grandfather, you would be curious!”
Even the Demon King of Sloth gives up resistance.
Because I realized that I couldn’t beat Halo here.
So the guy tried to change course and start a conversation, but Halo simply responded by swinging his sword.
Crunch- rustle-
Every time the sword flashed, the form of the Demon King of Sloth was torn away.
Halo said, swinging his sword.
“Slacker. You still stink.”
Woooooooooo-!
A sword large enough to block out the sun is formed out of nothing.
A sword imbued with the power of the sea.
A sword that can even divide the sea appears.
Charon realized that this was the power Halo had gained by reaching the 9th planet.
On the outside it looked like just a giant sword, but it was actually made up of thousands of smaller swords.
“Whatever you know about Charon, whatever secrets you have discovered.”
Halo muttered quietly and brought down his sword.
“I don’t want to hear stories about my grandson from your dirty mouth.”
“Haha! This is funny. This is really funny! How can the eyes of the strongest man on the continent be this dark… … .”
“Remember, the Demon King of Sloth. One day, I will cross over to the Demon Realm and cut down everything you have. Those who bear the name of Reston will bring about your end, so just.”
Oh my god!
The giant sword cut through the Bone Dragon’s massive body in one stroke.
The body of the bone dragon, which was harder than any metal in the world, was unable to resist the merciless sword energy and was simply cut away.
“Hide in that damp place and wait for the end. It won’t take long.”
Erekis and Nata’s bodies were split in half at the same time.
The Demon King of Sloth has been dispersing and regrouping repeatedly so far, but this time he couldn’t do it.
Halo’s black enemies have been cut down to their very essence.
The Demon King of Sloth glared at Charon and Halo while split in half. Then he smiled brightly and shouted.
“Death and terror have already come to this land. I await your visit across the North Sea! I will prepare a grand banquet. So… come quickly. My patience is short!”
With those words, Na-tae’s form dispersed like smoke.
And after a while.
【You are finally at peace. Lael Reston. And Lael Reston’s friends. It is all thanks to you.】
Erekis’ voice echoed in Charon and Halo’s ears.
【I can only express my gratitude to you. Now I can finally accept this darkness… … comfortably.】
With those words, Erekis’ body was cleanly split in two. And Erekis’ voice was no longer heard.
The body of the bone dragon, now powerless, begins to fall towards the ground.
Halo looked at Charon with an indifferent expression as gravity pressed down on her entire body.
The grandson’s body was covered in wounds. Charon was barely holding on to his life with feathers embedded all over his body.
It wasn’t strange that he would stop breathing at any moment.
But the grandson’s blue eyes were still burning with hatred towards something.
“Caron.”
Halo softly called Charon’s name.
“I know you have a secret.”
“……grandfather.”
“I will wait for the moment when you will reveal your secret yourself. There must be a reason why a bright child like you keeps a secret.”
A multitude of emotions crossed Halo’s gaze as she looked at Charon.
What makes this young grandson so desperate, what makes him fight so desperately?
Halo wanted to hear the story right away, but tried hard to suppress his feelings.
“I trust you, my grandson. So I will wait. Someday, tell me your secret.”
That’s why Halo decided to silently respect his grandson’s wishes.
At those words, Caron nodded with a weak smile.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Remember this.”
Halo said with a faint smile towards Charon.
“No matter what anyone says, you are my grandson. That fact will never change.”
A voice full of warmth as a grandfather.
Caron smiled again, remembering the warm voice in his head.
What would Halo look like if she knew everything?
‘… … Are you going to laugh?’
An old friend who stood on the opposite side of you in your past life.
In this life, we were standing facing the same direction.
I once imagined myself on the same side as Halo.
I wondered what it would feel like, but now I know.
‘It’s not bad.’
Caron closed his eyes and smiled.
And not long after.
Kuuuuuuung-!
Finally, Erekis’s body fell to the ground.
2.
As Erekis crashed to the ground, a huge cloud of dust rose up, but Leo and Adina, who had been waiting below, ran towards him without any hesitation.
“Caron! Carooooooon!”
Leo ran towards Charon, calling his name. Charon smiled and said to Leo, who was calling him desperately.
“If anyone saw me, they would think I was dead.”
“What the hell is that! Elixir! Elixir?”
“I ate everything I had during the fight. Oh, and there was a shard of glass embedded in the roof of my mouth.”
“If you leave it like this, you’ll die… … .”
Leo sheds tears at the sight of Caron’s miserable appearance. He couldn’t help it, because Caron’s face was noticeably pale.
Even if you shed blood, you shed too much.
But Asgard, who arrived after him, hurriedly placed his hand on Charon’s body.
“Don’t worry, Brother Leo. It’s all over.”
Asa smiled and breathed magic into Charon’s body.
The pure magical power of the World Tree’s sapling seeped into Charon’s body.
The power quickly restored Charon’s body, which was completely damaged.
Only after overcoming that hurdle did Leo see someone else.
Leo, who confirmed the old man’s identity, muttered with his eyes wide open.
“… … Am I… … seeing things?”
“We still have a good friendship. I’m glad I sent you away.”
“Hal, Grandfather… … Leo Reston of the House of Reston, please meet the lord… … .”
As Leo tried to be polite, Halo raised her hand slightly to cut him off. Then she patted Leo on the head and said,
“I am here as your grandfather, so there is no need to be so polite.”
“How did Grandpa get here… … .”
“It’s a long story, but I think it’s enough to tell it after the battle is over.”
Halo looked at Leo with warm eyes.
A smart grandson who knows what dedication is, unlike his greedy father.
He was a very special guy.
After exchanging a quick greeting with Leo, Halo slowly turned his head to look at the rest of the group.
A young elf child and a noblewoman.
In particular, the noblewoman bowed toward Halo with a trembling voice.
“My dear, it’s nice to meet you. I am Adina, the daughter of the chieftain of the clan!”
“The nobles. You are great warriors. I am Halo Reston, head of the House of Reston. I sense bravery from you as well.”
“You are too kind!”
Caron said with a snicker at the sight of Adina struggling.
“Grandpa. I heard that Adina and Leo have a strange bond. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pair them up.”
“Really, Leo?”
“… … We’re not that close yet. It’s not like I don’t like you… … . Sigh.”
“Anyway, the numbers are really bad.”
“Yes, that’s what you have to say? You’ve never even met a woman!”
“Am I popular?”
Halo let out a small sigh as he watched his grandchildren bickering with each other.
Judging by the fact that the guy Karon has become more talkative, he definitely looks like he’s worth living for. It seems like it’s all thanks to the magic that the young elf just injected into Karon.
“You… … .”
Halo spoke cautiously to the young elf.
“… … You are the seedling of the World Tree. You already knew I was coming.”
“lol.”
“Thank you for treating my grandson.”
“Because it is a mission given to me.”
As Halo was greeting Charon’s party, a loud scream began to echo from the distance.
It wasn’t the screams of elves.
It was the screams of the dark elves who were surrounding the city.
Charon shared his vision through Pluto. The east side of Eileen, bordering the harbor.
A huge army was rushing in from there.
One thing that is unique is that
“… …Monsters?”
The point is that at the forefront of the army are monsters that look familiar.
Why are monsters at the forefront of the support force?
“You had a daughter without me knowing. Charon.”
“ah!”
“If you had an accident, you should have told me. Those monsters are reinforcements sent by your great-granddaughter for you. She asked me to tell them that she was sorry she couldn’t come in person.”
“Aqua… … But it’s not like that, Grandpa.”
“I know all this too. So, as I said earlier, let’s talk about the details after the battle is over. The battle isn’t over yet.”
Halo nodded and slowly walked forward, holding his sword, Gram.
He spoke to Charon without even turning his head.
“I’ll finish it up. You guys can rest here.”
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
In the distance, a huge flame was billowing.
It was Ifrit, the spirit king of fire.
It seemed that even Orion, the patrol leader of the Southern Great Forest, had come here.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Only then did Caron relax and close his eyes.
The rescue fleet arrived faster than expected.
Now that Halo has appeared on this battlefield, victory is virtually certain.
The dark elves no longer had a chance of winning.
“Brother Leo.”
“huh.”
“I’m going to sleep.”
“… … Here? Hey, go in and sleep. Go in… … . Hey, are you sleeping?”
Leo looked at Charon and sighed deeply. Then he quietly carried Charon on his back.
I could hear Charon’s shallow breathing in my ear.
“Good night.”
He slowly surveyed the battlefield while carrying his cousin on his back.
The battle that seemed like it would never end was already reaching its end.
