Episode 256 82. Mad Warrior (2)

3.

I thought I could win.

Bakal, the captain of the first special task force of the Inquisition, was sweating profusely as he barely managed to block the sword swung by Caron.

Although hidden by the mask, his face was already pale.

‘I am fighting with the determination to become a martyr. But why on earth…?’

All brothers and sisters are fighting with their souls sacrificed.

Those who gathered to give glory to the splendid light brandish their weapons, each prepared to die.

There was no lack of training.

They were a force with ample combat experience, and they were elite troops who would not be ashamed to be deployed anywhere on the continent.

But why,

“Oh, light!”

“Are you going to abandon me?”

Will I be helplessly knocked down by the swords wielded by those evil demons?

“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

“Kekekekeke.”

The devil was laughing before them.

Every time he blocked Charon’s sword, his stomach turned. The newly granted power to destroy evil, the power of the wave, was not a threat to Charon Reston at all.

Charon’s magic has already seeped deep into his body.

Even though I had lived without fear due to my utmost faith, I was terribly afraid of the sword wielded by the devil.

My mind is spinning.

Is this how the prey feels in front of a predator?

All I could think about was wanting to get out of this place.

“Oh, light.”

Nevertheless, Bakal consoled himself by calling out the name of light.

Even if the entire special forces died on the spot, they had to stop the demon before their eyes.

Caron Reston is the devil.

He is the incarnation of evil who appeared to destroy the Holy Kingdom and is a blasphemer of the light.

“Caron Lester!”

Phew.

Gray energy burst out from his body like a blast.

The power of Parma was created to destroy evil, so it was more lethal than anything else to Charon Reston.

but,

Kaaaaang-!

The blade of magical power he unleashed crumbles powerlessly.

The moment it came into contact with the dark blue magic, it shattered into pieces like glass.

Crunch-!

The grisly blade cut deep into his right thigh. Blood spurted out like a fountain for a split second, as if an artery had been severed. But that only lasted for a moment.

Kkuddeuk.

The wound healed in an instant. It was thanks to the ‘baptism’ he received upon becoming an inquisitor.

The devil smiled and muttered as if he was amazed by the sight.

“Body strengthening… … . The renowned priests have even touched the forbidden realm. It is a technique that even the most skilled black magician would have difficulty implementing. Where on earth did such a technique come from?”

The devil muttered something incomprehensible.

“I didn’t know that the Holy Kingdom would study forbidden technology so seriously. Is this also a revelation from the Light?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! This is the power we received when we were baptized. This power of ours is the proof that there is light… .”

“Do you really think so?”

Crunch-!

There was another flash of blue light, and this time Bakal’s right arm was cut off.

A pain so severe that I felt like I was going to lose consciousness engulfed my whole body.

Magic power began to naturally flow into the place where the arm had disappeared, and soon a strange phenomenon occurred.

Gulp.

Blood vessels start to bulge out from the wounded area and begin to heal the arm very slowly.

It was an extremely unnatural sight.

“It’s a self-healing ability that’s almost miraculous. Maybe it’s a fusion of troll traits? These guys are really fun. It’ll be fun to see them through.”

“You, you’re not a 7-star knight… … you weren’t.”

According to intelligence, Caron Reston was a knight of the 7th star.

But the moment he faced the sword, Bakal realized that the information was wrong.

It was a force that mobilized as many as four powerful people hidden by the Inquisition.

All of these were secret weapons that had been nurtured for a long time in preparation for the temple.

But those secret weapons couldn’t even touch Caron Reston’s body.

even.

“Sister Leon! If you get hurt, Caron will kill you!”

“If he doesn’t get hurt, I’ll kill Caron! Why does this kid keep doing things thoughtlessly?”

“It’s Caron!”

Even his cousins, who were considered one level lower than Caron, were not easily subdued.

The battle was already lost.

There were only three enemies involved in the battle, but the inquisitors, who were nearly thirty in number, could do nothing about them.

It all came down to Caron Reston.

Every time Charon swings his sword, the pillar collapses.

The power contained in that sword was beyond the power of the Inquisitors. It was a power that was beyond their imagination, and it was even flexible and cunning.

While Karon Reston was dealing with Bakal himself, he was occasionally firing his sword at other Inquisitors, taking their lives.

Before we knew it, there were more dead than living people in the chapel.

How can such a vicious person be a warrior?

This tragedy, this horrible hell, was proof that Charon Reston was the devil.

“Saint Seria! You will ultimately lead the Holy Nation to ruin!”

Bakal shouted in an evil voice.

In the end, all this tragedy was caused by that wicked woman. She is the worst heretic in history who betrayed the Holy Nation and joined hands with the pagans.

She returned to the Holy Land, hiding her ugly true nature.

“The light will judge you!”

Those who betray the faith will be punished by heaven. Bakal shouted with hatred.

Seria looked at Bakal like that and clasped her hands together.

“… … It is not I who is leading the Holy Nation to destruction.”

She did not hate Bakal for spitting out curses. Rather, she felt sorry for them and felt sorry for them.

These are people who had strong faith.

How can one not feel sorry to see such people walking down the wrong path?

“Light is with me at every moment.”

“Nonsense! The light has rejected a traitor like you… … .”

“Look with your eyes.”

Paaaaat-!

A pure white light emanated from Seria’s body.

It was a dazzling light, completely different from the gray light of the Inquisitors.

The wings of the female intestine spread.

The pure white light illuminated the inside of the chapel, which was filled with blood, brighter than ever.

Bakal faced the light with his eyes wide open.

The light is bright, even clean and godly.

There was no way that one who had abandoned the light could emit such light. That was why Bakal shouted in an even more evil voice.

“Even if the devil takes the form of God, nothing will change!”

He decided that the light was some evil spell.

He was not wrong. The path that Seongguk is walking now is the true path of light. Those who try to block that path are nothing but evil.

Passssss.

Although he only had one arm left, it was enough. Bakal rushed towards Seria, still holding his sword with his remaining left hand.

“For the brilliant light!”

The power of the wave pierced through the divine power that Seria emitted.

The power of the divine power was originally created to punish divine power.

The sword soaked in magical power tears through the thick shield. In the blink of an eye, Bakal’s sword reaches Seria’s neck.

But that was it.

The moment Bakal was about to cut off Seria’s head, he had a vision.

‘……ocean?’

The sea suddenly appeared.

A sea with waves of dark blue light rippling.

There was a huge moon floating above the sea.

Bakal looked at the moon as if he was possessed. The light it gave off seemed to set everything on fire.

“It’s a waste of skill on a fanatic like you, but I should try it out in real combat at least once.”

A soft voice rang in my ear.

“The more extravagant the show, the more attention it gets.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

Dozens of whirlpools rose from the sea. In an instant, these dozens of whirlpools engulfed the moon.

The sea obscures the moon.

The brilliant moonlight is obscured by a sea of ​​dark blue light.

At that moment, darkness fell over the world and began to suck in everything around it.

“ah.”

Bakal stood there, unable to do anything.

I just watch the huge magical force approaching.

Kwaaaaaaaah-!

Finally, the moon was completely swallowed up by the sea.

And after a while.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaahh …

The moon exploded with a tremendous noise.

Time seemed to pass slowly. Bakal was lost in thought as he watched the fragments of the moon flying towards him.

There’s no way you can fight against something like that.

All I can do is stand still and look at this spectacle.

Pushuuuk-!

Dozens of fragments were embedded in Bakal’s body. The fragments made of magical energy pierced through his flesh without mercy. And through them, the devil’s voice echoed.

“Eclipse.”

Eclipse.

Bakal thought the name suited him quite well.

It meant that the moon was being eaten by the sea. And that became Bakal’s last impression.

Kwaaaaang-!

The wave that followed engulfed Bakal as well, and soon after, the shrapnel embedded in his body exploded.

The world was falling apart. Bakal was unable to put up any resistance before its overwhelming power.

The fanatic was not saved.

forever.

4.

“Phew.”

Charon let out a small breath as he looked at the ruins.

Until just a moment ago, it was a chapel. But now, it has collapsed to the point where you can’t even find a trace of the chapel.

“Your Majesty, can’t that be repaired?”

Seria shook her head with a stern expression at Charon’s question.

“Right now… … it seems a bit difficult.”

Seria’s complexion turned pale.

She tried to persuade the Inquisitors until the last moment.

He tried to dispel the madness that had blinded the eyes of the Inquisitors and to erase the magical power from their bodies.

But all the efforts went in vain.

The Inquisitors died cursing Seria until their last moments. What they received was not an honorable death.

“There’s nothing I can do.”

Charon clicked his tongue, sheathed the guillotine, and slowly turned around.

Leo and Leon were panting for breath. Unlike Charon, who was completely unscathed, they had large and small wounds all over their bodies.

“Still, you somehow managed to not die?”

“If it weren’t for the saint, I would have died a long time ago.”

“If you’re the grandsons of Grand Duke Halo, you should win even if you’re outnumbered. Right?”

“You handled two out of four.”

“Oh, is that so? Looks like someone got hit and killed by a sword you carelessly swung. If someone gets hit and killed by a blind sword, the people in this neighborhood must be really bad. Don’t you think so?”

Caron shrugged and muttered.

Leon said as if he was amazed at the sight.

“You, what on earth was that swordsmanship you showed us at the end?”

A tremendous swordsmanship that brought down an entire chapel.

It was a swordsmanship on a whole other level than anything Caron had ever shown before.

It was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off it, and so horrifyingly destructive.

Should I say that this is a sword technique that closely resembles Charon?

Caron answered Leon’s question with a faint smile.

“It’s my unique ability. I named it Eclipse. But I still can’t control its power. I tried reducing its power, but… … .”

“Is that the swordsmanship that destroyed Haerangdo?”

“You could say that. I’ve been meaning to show it to my older sister for a while, but I haven’t had a chance.”

It was a completely different swordsmanship from the Haerang sword, which emphasized strength.

It was difficult to express in words.

It was flexible, yet at times rigid, gentle, yet at times explosive.

What kind of unique technology did this crazy guy come up with?

Although I don’t know for sure, it was definitely a sword technique that only Caron could use.

“Let’s talk about swordsmanship later… … For now, this should be enough to send a message to the other side.”

Charon turned and approached Seria.

There was a shadow on Seria’s face. She might be feeling guilty towards the Inquisitors who had just died here.

That’s why Caron spoke in a firm voice.

“Saint, from now on, listen carefully to what I say.”

“Speak… … please.”

The end of Seria’s voice trembled. But Caron said what he had to say.

“If we hadn’t killed those bastards here today, we would have died instead. This is no longer the Holy Kingdom that the Saintess knew.”

The Holy Kingdom is gripped by the madness of war. The rulers are encouraging war under the pretext of a holy war, and the people, unaware of the situation, have no choice but to follow their will.

“Just remember this one thing.”

The other side is already prepared for war. The deeper Charon and Seria dig in, the more fiercely they will rebel.

“If we don’t kill, we die. Those who are obsessed with their beliefs won’t change.”

If you can communicate with fanatics, they are not fanatics.

This situation would repeat itself countless times in the future. Seria had to overcome these feelings.

“You saw it too, Saint? The Inquisitors were using distorted black magic.”

The evidence obtained through this battle was diverse.

Charon placed both hands on Seria’s shoulders and spoke with suppressed anger.

“This is just the beginning. So instead of feeling sorry for yourself, focus on what’s in front of you.”

“… … Lord Caron.”

“Be prepared, because once this is over, I plan on handing the Holy Kingdom a very long bill. Got it?”

A groundbreaking step was taken.

Now it was time to watch their response once again.

Charon held his breath and looked at the ruins of the chapel.

***

Soon after, rumors spread throughout the Holy Kingdom.

There was a rumor that someone was trying to kill the Great Saint and the Warrior.

Full-scale agitation and fabrication began.

A huge crack was spreading across the Holy Kingdom.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
