: Sword of Zenith (2)
The power of the wind truly boasted a tremendous speed.
Jamie was held in Beiryl's arms and it was hard to even open her eyes properly because of the strong wind that seemed to tear her skin. Even under the protection of the Aurors, this was the case, and if I had tried to handle this speed with my bare skin, my entire skin would have come off.
They came out of the forest in an instant.
In the distance, I could see the line of the marquis forming a siege formation.
They too waved the big flag they had prepared to see if they had found Jamie and Beiryl.
"For now, I will head towards the Marquis."
I know.
The Marquis deserved to know roughly what the situation was.
Beiryl speeded up.
Although the distance from the army commanded by the Marquis was long, the gust of wind brought them down to their destination in an instant.
The marquis, who had been waiting, ran to them in one month.
"Jamie!"
He hugged the reborn grandson tightly.
"This guy! Do you know how worried I was? No injuries anywhere? Wasn't it scary?
The Marquis looked around the body of his grandson with tears in his red eyes.
It was a little embarrassing, but Jamie didn't say anything.
I'm fine, Grandpa.
okay yes it looks I'm really, really happy."
"But now I am not important."
"What do you mean? Isn't it you who matters?
"Marquis. It is said that the messenger of the goddess is dangerous."
Beiryl, who was listening next to her, carefully opened her mouth.
what?
The Marquis couldn't help but be surprised.
The demons were not able to get out of the forest of Mirin and were swept away.
But why is the goddess's apostle so dangerous?
"This is not the time. Come on, you have to go quickly. Otherwise, my friend might die!"
The word "friend" reminded the Marquis of the relationship between Jamie and Ricky.
But I didn't understand.
From Myrine Forest to the denomination, it is the opposite direction within Apton, how can you know that you are in danger?
But I couldn't figure it out.
Because Jamie's expression looked so serious and urgent.
"Sir Onyx! hurry!
"I will go quickly."
Beiryl seemed to believe Jamie's words.
Is the goddess's messenger really in danger?
As he was thinking about it, a certain person passed through the Marquis's head.
" Sable."
"Grandpa, what did you just say ?"
Jamie doubted his ears for a moment.
Why was Sable mentioned in the mouth of the Marquis?
But the Marquis did not explain. I just asked Beiryl with a serious face.
"I'll take you too."
"Dangerous!"
The lieutenant next to him was startled by the sudden remark of the Marquis and stopped him.
Beiryl and Jamie had the same idea.
"You don't know how dangerous it can be. You are here."
"That's right, Grandpa. It's dangerous."
"Young-seok. Even if you don't know Beiryl, you shouldn't say things like that, do you?
The Marquis smiled blankly, then withdrew his smile and looked at Beiryl.
"I feel like I should go."
" Marquis. no.
"The lieutenant is also drying up. Please stay here."
"No. I feel like I have to go."
Sable could not be erased from his mind.
After hearing the story, the image started to get stronger.
Where is the missing guy?
I didn't know him, but the Marquis knew that he was hiding his skills to some extent.
Beiryl knew that the Marquis was serious.
"If you are in danger, you must run away without looking back."
"Don't worry."
"Marquis ."
"You should be prepared for any contingency. Gather up an army that can move quickly and come after them."
Sigh Okay.
The order was absolute.
If the sword master is also with you, your life will not be in danger.
The lieutenant left immediately to fulfill the order.
"Go quickly. Didn't you say it was urgent?
"Come here."
Beiryl took Jamie in her arms again and drew the Marquis closer.
Even at this moment, they didn't know if it was the right thing to do, but the wind had already engulfed them.
"It will be fast."
thud-!
The three new figures soared towards the sky at great speed.
* * *
Lars remembered the first time he was appointed Holy Executor.
How happy were you when your skills were recognized?
He was the one who heard the sound of genius. Even the grown-ups in the neighborhood were no match for him.
It was the same when his faith was recognized and he became a paladin.
However, looking at the Holy Executors, I realized that it was a frog in a well.
Above the sky is the sky.
After acknowledging that, I trained to death, and the emotion I felt when I reached that position after hard work was indescribable.
Naturally, he knew the existence of a new sky after that, but he was full of pride in his skills.
And that pride was shattered once again in front of the superman.
"You alone can't stop me."
Sable's cold eyes fell.
No attack hit. On the contrary, the wounds continued to grow on his body.
'Even with divinity, you can't recover.'
A stronger deity crushes a weak deity.
Different types had a greater effect.
Lars tried to heal the wound by constantly raising the divine, but Zenith's divine engraved throughout the wound prevented this.
"Are you okay bro?"
"Brother Lars ?"
Ricky and Anna called him in worried voices.
Lars staggered, struggling to get up somehow. I don't know how many holes there were, but I knew I had to save those children.
Even if I died, I had to live.
"Because it doesn't make any sense."
Blood welled up on Lars' shoulders.
brother!
"Why, why, brother?!"
Lars couldn't answer the call from behind.
No matter how many times he was hit, he did not understand how the opponent was attacking.
I didn't wield it, but it cut.
I blocked it, but an attack came in.
An attack where a lot of things were omitted.
"I don't understand? Why do I keep getting hurt? What is the principle of flying attack? Isn't it?
" Are you a sword master?"
"Aren't you aware of that now?"
Aside from his overwhelming ability, his attacks make no sense.
But if the opponent is the Sword Master, the story is different.
A special power that you get the moment you become a superman.
With that power, he could freely create such an absurd phenomenon.
"A reversal of causality (因果逆轉). This is my power."
I couldn't tell exactly what kind of ability it was just by listening.
But kindly, Sable gave a brief explanation of my powers.
"It's simple. It just reverses the order of cause and effect. Do you understand?
"Change cause and effect?"
That's right. If I attack you, it will hurt you. Causal reversal is to put back the cause of my attack on you here and hasten the outcome of hurting you."
"What is that, nonsense ."
Lars doubted his ears.
No matter how much a sword master is called a superman, the power of causality reversal is out of the way.
"There are so many monsters in the world. I'm sorry for you, but I think I'm pretty high among those monsters.
Above the sky there is always another sky.
And above that, there was a bigger sky.
Lars couldn't even fathom the extent of the gap between himself and his opponent.
"Didn't you tell me? No matter what you do, you can't stop it. This is also showing a lot of mercy."
Sable's gaze turned to Ricky.
"If you have decided to kill the Goddess' Apostle from the beginning, you have already killed it regardless of what you block."
How do you deal with this kind of enemy?
I couldn't figure out a way.
I looked back. Ricky looked at him, holding Anna's hand tightly.
"If you tell me to run, I will let you go. As long as the plan fails, political battles are inevitable anyway... . That kind of mercy can be shown."
The guy was making fun of him.
He was very relaxed and smiling arrogantly.
With the certainty that the situation will not turn around anyway.
The resentment is that it will be as he said.
In such despair, Lars gripped the handle of the sword even stronger.
" Whatever monster you are."
Using the sword as a staff, he struggled to get up.
His legs were shaking and there was no strength in his jaws, but somehow he kept his back upright.
I'm not giving up on these guys.
"Leaving everything else aside, just being smart is amazing. It's easy not to die even after being cut and stabbed like that."
Although the paladin is a strong family, Lars was more than that.
At that time, it was not that the body was strong, but that it was endured with the mental strength.
It seems like a limitation now.
"It's not fun."
Sable swung his sword.
A sword master's sword attack, even with blades without power.
There was no way to stop the messed up Lars.
That was then.
"You guys !"
The moment the blade reached Lars' neck.
"How far do you have to go in order to release your intuition?"
A huge, powerful divinity exploded from behind.
Sable was pushed back by the sudden shock. Then he looked at the huge divinity that burst out with his round eyes.
'What is this ?'
I was taken aback for a while by the somewhat unexpected situation, but I immediately regained my reason and grasped the situation.
'goddess?'
If it was enough to suddenly spit out that level of divinity, there was no one but a goddess.
First, I thought of what to do with that huge power.
Sable activated the power of causality reversal, pulling forward the result of destroying the Pyro's divinity.
However, the divinity did not disappear, and great scars were carved all over his body.
It was a serious wound to pretend to be, but the person concerned muttered in a voice that didn't care.
"Failed?"
Although the power of causality reversal was a very powerful ability, there were also disadvantages that were proportional to it.
If you can't provide a cause that can bear the consequences, you pay the price with your own body.
There were very few cases like that as he became a Sword Master, but this time was an exception.
'How did you get the divinity back?'
A curtain of light surrounded them like a great wall.
It was a robber that deflected even the power of causality reversal.
Sable didn't rush to attack, and waited for them to come out.
The veil of the divine began to slowly open.
Little by little, the appearance of the three of them caught my eye.
Sable's eyes frowned.
"This is very difficult."
He saw Las standing still, then looked around.
Ricky was standing next to him with an angry face, wearing a strong divinity.
Anna was close behind her older brother.
"Ts. Did the goddess come?"
Though the apostle was in danger several times, he wondered what would happen because the Pyro did not appear.
'I was too relaxed.'
Not a perfect apostle, but an apostle is an apostle. It was not difficult if the goddess decided that she would come.
However, contrary to his expectations, the goddess did not descend.
"I can't stand it anymore. You too, the disgusting believer you believe in! Why are you committing such terrible and deplorable things!"
Ricky let out a voice filled with anger.
"Are all human beings a worm to you?"
" Hasn't the goddess descended?
"Answer me!"
woohoo-!
Divinity rang out loudly as if in sync with Ricky's cry.
Sable looked at Ricky and opened his mouth.
"It's not like that."
"No? So what have you done? My friend died because of you guys. I almost felt the same way, and so did my brother and friends. You played with my life and tried to destroy everything!"
"It is only the will of the Holy God."
"I am not holy. Janice is not a god. he's the devil A very wicked demon!"
"It was originally like that. For some, God becomes the devil, and the devil becomes God. Sadly, the god I believe in seems to be a demon to you."
It was a blasphemous remark, but he didn't care.
Since it is Zenith's most prized sword, he can say this.
sophistry! dog sound! Don't rationalize on the subject of what you've done ugly! You and the evil beings you serve are scum!"
"If you don't have the power, the world will die from such garbage."
"I cannot forgive you. That day, I decided to do it."
An unusual power began to flow from Ricky's body.
Did the goddess grant that little girl that much power?
"Where are you selling your mind?"
Lars, who had approached me, swung his sword fiercely.
All wounds were healed by the strong divine power, and the movement was very sharp.
However, Sable did not avoid it.
I didn't see any reason to avoid it.
"Your body does not change who you are."
Zeng-
The blade was cut in half.
Lars looked at the aura on Sable's index finger.
It was the result of breaking the sword with just one finger.
But the day grew again.
The cloak of light flapped and rushed in, aiming for Sable's neck.
"Goddess. If you wanted to protect the lambs."
Lars fell down bleeding.
Three holes were made in the chest.
"You should have come by yourself."
Sable, who suddenly grabbed the sword, hurled himself towards Riki, who was concentrating on a huge divinity.
Miracles like before didn't happen anymore.
"The wrong choice will lead you down the road to destruction."
Sable, who had already reached the distance, swung his sword without hesitation.
It was only a movement by force.
brother!
Anna grabbed my brother's collar tightly.
Divinity is split
Ricky clenched his fists as he looked at the approaching blade.
After all, will this place become a tomb?
That moment.
[Fusion Magic: Eraser Volt]
A blue light beam flew from behind Sable at a speed close to the speed of light.
The powerful sword master stumbled in a sudden surprise.
Ricky's eyes widened.
This was a great opportunity.
Ricky raised his hand. With the determination to feed him properly, he compressed his divinity hard.
"Eat this too!"
A sacred sphere the size of two fists combined touched Sable.
A dazzling explosion occurred.
