Chapter 758: Arsene’s Mistake 2

Kuak!

Kwak! Kikkki!

The Undead who had already been hit with the Divine power because of the amplified magic circle suffered serious damage when Luke’s Avenger released Divine power amplified by the core engine.

And the lower Undead started to melt like candles.

“Now! Get rid of them right now!”

“Do not miss the opportunity that His Majesty has created for us!”

The wizards, who were in the sky, as well as the knights on the ground, rushed to the Undead at once.

They used powerful flame magic to burn down the Lich, and several Gigants rushed to the giant Death Knights.

However, the resistance of the Undead wasn’t easy to bring down.

In the case of the advanced Undead, which Arsene had especially worked on, they didn’t take in much damage.

Rather, the small wounds or pain inflicted on their bodies made them run around like a wounded beast.

But the advanced Undeads weren’t just raving to overcome the pain.

As they were all talented humans in their lifetimes, they instinctively knew who and what to be removed.

“They are trying to destroy the amplification magic circle!”

“Block them! Protect the relics and the magic circle at all costs!”

Pop! Pop!

Along with some heavy attacks, buildings collapsed and buried some Undeads under it or blocked the roads.

As the civilians had been moved before the battle began, the allies and troops gathered in Bless could use drastic means to win the battle.

But that didn’t mean that the Undead were easy opponents to stop.

Grrr!

“Ahhh!”

A Gigant belonging to the Symphonia Guard Knights, which was facing the giant Death Knight, rolled on the floor when its right arm got cut.

The moment the Death Knight, whose body was being burned by Divine power, tried to kill the fallen Gigant, an Orion with a red lightning crest cut down the neck of the Death Knight.

“Oh, Count Belik!”

“You stupid men! Don’t keep rushing in! We told you that if you aren’t a Sword Master, then let us take the initial hit on them!”

At the request of Luke, only the elite troops from each allied nation were gathered in Bless.

However, there were less than a hundred elite who could really face the Undead one-on-one.

So, Belik and the other leaders divided thousands of knights into groups, which would get the first pass.

But what was happening in the battle?

Some knights believed in their own skill and their Gigant’s performance and went into battle to get smashed down.

That was why, Belik, Arch Duke Gregory, Hwang Bo-sung, Karen, Duke Dimitry, and other people like Luke were taking the lead.

They had all reached Advanced Sword Master level and even Sword Emperor, so they were driving the Undead into a corner on the ground or in the sky.

“Don’t get pushed!”

“The fate of the Holy Empire and the continent is based on this fight!”

“Show them the skills of the fairy warriors!”

Slash! Bang!

Kwang! Bang! Pop!

Magic and aura flew in and fierce battles were being fought in the sky and ground.

Gigants and the giant Death Knight were facing each other, breaking down buildings and turning them upside-down.

In the sky, there was a back and forth of the offensive magic attack.

It was like a tremendous battle that would have happened sometime in the myths, but as time passed, the allies of humans and fairies, who were using the amplification magic circle for Divine power began to overwhelm the Undead, little by little.

However, there were a few exceptions.

The Advanced Undead.

When the knights unit or the Gigants got destroyed by the force of the Advanced Undead, Arch Duke Gregory and the other skilled humans and fairies set up a troop to intercept them.

“Kuak, so you want to come to the main deal in the battle?”

An Advanced Death Knight had cut an allied Gigant.

A person that looked like a Southern Continent warrior, who had dark hair and brown skin, asked as he looked at the grim expression on Arch Duke Gregory’s face.

“Yes, ghosts who broke the law set by God need to be taken down! I, Gregory, the sword of the Holy Empire, will lead you into the arms of God.”

“Really? Try to do it, if you can.”

The identity of the Advanced Undead was a warrior, who made a strong name for himself in the Southern Continent during his lifetime.

Black Demon King, Cheol-pae.

300 years ago, he was one of the five great masters of the continent. Although he didn’t hold a title that was as great as the Hwang Bo clan, even then, he was known in the Kang Ho arts.

He was an absolute power holder during that time.

Now, he was an Advanced Undead, he had turned a lot stronger than that time and was a zeitgeist level.

“Then, try stopping the Asura Knight, which was the most famous one!”

Cheol-pae pulled out a sword that seemed to have more than 10 meters of energy wrapped around it and swung it toward Arch Duke Gregory.

Arch Duke Gregory, not letting himself get intimidated by his opponent, produced a Gold aura and swung his sword.

Kwang! Kwang!

The man representing the Moorim arts of Asura Knife, and Arch Duke Gregory’s Gold aura were clashing at each other in terrible speed.

Dozens of trajectories passed.

Shockingly, the confrontation between the two seemed to end in a draw.

‘How long has it been since the sword skill I learned had failed against an opponent?’

Arch Duke Gregory seemed deeply shocked.

He felt shocked as he had turned into a Sword Emperor, the title he had longed for just a while back.

In history, the number of people who achieved that title was very rare.

There was Luke and then Rudolf who was dead.

No matter how strong the Undead was, he was under the impression that it was just an Undead.

However, his thoughts took a turn.

Shaking his head, Gregory decided to do everything that he could.

In the second half of the Gold Sword, he infused the Divine sword he had learned and began to unfold it. He named this skill the ‘Absolute Sword’.

‘No matter who the opponent is, I will never back off!’

If he withdrew from there, Gregory couldn’t guarantee the lives of people who fled from Bless or even the pope who was still in the Palace.

Determined to take down the enemy, Gregory began to raise his aura.

A magnificent momentum that resembled the Mother Nature rose from his body.

Gregory, who adjusted his body to the momentum of his sword, rushed to Cheol-pae who was releasing Magi.

Karen, who was leading the wizard troops in the sky, was dealing with the Advanced Lich.

The Lich, whose skin was just left behind bones and was grunting, was shocking to see.

“Kuk! Kuk! Kuk! Your soft skin looks delicious!”

“What was that, you boney bastard?!”

“Kuk, kul, you seem like a fierce kid. 400 years ago, there was no human who didn’t tremble at the name of Goebel.”

“You are Goebel?!”

Karen seemed startled at the name.

400 years ago, there was a genius wizard in one of the top ten magic towers, the Keroyan Magic Tower.

A man who made it to the 6 circles in just his teens, and then in his mid-20s, he went over to 7th and 8th circle.

It was a tremendous speed of learning at that time, so it was assumed that the man would become the youngest sage in the 9th circle wizards.

However, even after 10 years or 20, the circle of the man didn’t increase.

He turned anxious for not being able to cross his 8th circle, and reaching out to the taboo skills, he eventually rose, but he created great controversy in the Keroyan Magic Tower and was expelled.

He was slowly forgotten in the Magic World, but 10 years later, he reappeared in history as a very strong man.

He had turned into a terrifying warlock.

Although he was inferior to the Devil King Saymon, he gained a name for being a ‘bloody warlock’ who killed thousands of people or turned them into sacrifices.

He destroyed the Keroyan Magic Tower and his hometown with his hands.

Eventually, his bloody evil deeds came to an end after the Saint Guards and the High Priest thought of his acts to be unbearable.

But after 400 years, such a man, no, the same man appeared in the human world!

“Kul, kul, kul! You are going to die, kid!”

Goebel pointed at Karen.

Ugly black snakes formed in the sky and flew toward Karen.

“Huh, you think that will kill me?!”

Karen unfolded the Holy Shield.

No matter how infamous the warlock was 400 years back, she too had her fair share of struggles in taking down Arsene in a time that had disappeared.

So, she thought that she would be able to deal with the Advanced Lich and could easily take him down.

Cang!

But when the opponent’s black magic attack collided with her shield, the Holy Shield that was made of Divine energy cracked and broke.

“Wh-what?!”

Scared and flustered, Karen used Blink to avoid getting hit.

If she was even a little late, she would have been seriously injured.

“Kuk, that’s sad. I thought that I could slash you cute little thing in two.”

Karen snared at Goebel’s words.

“Ugh, you disgusting bones… I will turn you into powder and make sure you’ll never get revived!”

Karen transformed the Aether into Divine power and sent hundreds of Holy Bullets to Goebel.

Light and darkness.

Black and white.

The fights of those who were regarded as great wizards in their own times began to fill the sky.

Duke Dimitry reached Sword Sage a few years back and was the best swordsman in the Volga Republic.

Although it was less than Sword Emperor Rudolf, and the strongest Rune Knight Luke or Arch Duke Gregory, who reached the Sword Sage a year back, he still had pride in his skills.

In particular, he was confident that his Gigant controlling would be the best in the Republic or even the entire continent.

However, he didn’t think that he would get pushed against a giant Death Knight.

Pop!

“Ugh!”

When his Hero class Gigant got pushed back, Dimitry was shocked.

“Who is he…?”

Dimitry didn’t know but the Death Knight he was dealing with was a master who made a name for himself in the Southern Continent, 150 years ago.

Hwa-san clan member, a disciple of an elder, and he was a promising figure who would have risen to Absolute Powerholder in his 30s and create his clan into a well-known one.

However, after 10 years of being in the Kang Ho, he suddenly disappeared.

He was secretly poisoned by the elders of the Hwa-san clan, who were scared of losing their name because of him.

Anyway, he died, and his body fell into the hands of Arsene and was reborn as a Death Knight.

When Dimitry was pushed back, a voice came from behind.

“Hey, traitor. Should I help you?”

“What was that?”

“If I could do what I wanted, I’d never help a traitor like you, but I need to work with you to protect Bless, where the princess resides.”

It was Belik who spoke to Dimitry.

Belik, who just wiped down the group of lesser Undead with his Gigantic aura, found Dimitry struggling against the giant Death Knight.

At first, he thought of leaving the man to get cut down, but he couldn’t do it as the princess needed help in protecting her nation.

He knew that it wasn’t the time to move base on his personal feelings and motives.

‘Damn it, to meet Belik in here…!’

If he could help it, Dimitry would never get help from Belik either.

His pride would be hurt since he was a Sword Sage, and yet he needed help from other people, especially because the man offering him help was Belik.

However, the giant Death Knight in front of him was stronger, and it was obvious that he would lose if he kept fighting alone.

Eventually, he said, “I’ll pay this debt at a later time.”

“You don’t need to pay me anything. I’ll snatch things from you. I’ll cut down your disciples and dedicate them to His Majesty.”

At the words of Belik, Dimitry snorted.

“Huh, for a man who lacks in skill, you sure have big dreams.”

“What was that? Those are big words coming from a man who can’t even hold a center on his Gigant!”

Dimitry and Belik, who were throwing words at each other, quickly scattered to the other sides and attacked the Death Knight.

It was an incredibly perfect attack that made it hard to believe that they were enemies.
