Chapter 15

Episode 15

The Watchers of Light, the tower force that serves the Lord of Light, appeared there.

Literally golden angels were descending. Surrounded by awe and brilliance that the people here cannot understand.

The world of the tower and the ‘world inside the tower’ are different. For example, the Blood Cross Knights and Desert Elves here are beings within the tower, and that is the world within the tower.

However, the monarch and their forces belong to the level above, which literally means the world of the tower itself.

“Oh oh oh the messengers of light have descended’...

Therefore, the player is a proxy caught between the two worlds, and the concept itself is not very different from the forces serving a specific monarch directly intervening in the tower.

The Watchers of the Light were there to enforce the will of the Light and to punish traitors who rebelled against the Light.

But that wasn't all.

[“Extinguish the light and spread darkness!”]

[The Shadow Lord supports the player's decision.]

Another monarch intervened in the world inside the tower and revealed his will.

‘I knew it would end up like this.'

To be hostile to a monarch and his forces is

at the same time to act for their opponents

.

For example, the Frost Lord loves shooting stars, and the Fire Lord does not like shooting stars.

Furthermore, even if he did not make a direct contract with the Shadow Lord, as long as he was a member of his ‘Shadow Council', he could aim for better rewards by opposing the forces of light and working for the shadow.

‘One degree of freedom is truly amazing.'

Inside the tower, players can make more decisions than they can imagine. Rather than being just a one-sided puppet carrying out the will of the Absolute One, it is about discovering and acting on something beyond the text.

Monarchs are never absolute. Even they cannot defy the rules and restrictions that bind them. That was the real charm of this game, and in front of the chess piece called interpretation, even the greatest monarchs could be cornered.

[“Cover the world with our veil!”]

[Force: The Shadow Council grants you a buff - the Veil of Darkness!]

Sure enough, a message from the ‘Shadow Council' to which Yoosung belongs followed immediately.

Against the Watchers of Light, the Shadow Council's blessings temporarily rested on Yooseong's body.

Whoa!

At the same time, the shadow beneath the meteor's feet swirled like a sandstorm and began to engulf the entire area.

Light has faded from the world. Even though it was broad daylight with the sun hanging in the sky, a dark storm was raging.

“Ah, what’s ahead...r

It’s a darkness that you can’t even see right in front of you. But to Yoosung, it wasn’t darkness. To a certain extent, it was just a curtain for the hunter to hide his existence.

And within the curtain, I saw watchers of light fluttering like ephemeral candles.

Suddenly

, the blades rose up. A skill that can create a blade from the player's shadow. Furthermore, the veil of darkness covering this area was the world of shadows itself.

An uncountable number of blades emerged from the tent. Shadow blades of all shapes, from sharp like a skewer to large and blunt like a great sword, were created in the curtain and swept towards the prey.

Invisible death, seven-pointed blades rising from the darkness that cannot be discerned even in front of one's nose.

In front of him, even knights who could deploy auras could not escape the fear of death. But the golden angels were not like that.

“Light...

the angels shouted and light began to swirl around him and drive out the darkness.

The brilliance of dawn that brightens the dawn. The seven blades rushing towards the Watchers of Light vanished in vain.

Huh!

However, this was not the case with the spear blades of ice and frost rushing towards the golden angel right after.

At the same time, Black Mangi appeared from within the tent. As if he understood Yooseong's words, Blackman's body began to expand endlessly within the curtain. It's as if a shield of the bottomless pit was raised to protect her.

This is still meteor territory. Every time the spear of light struck, the curtain lifted and light fell, but soon the swirling curtain of darkness swallowed up the area again.

In order to destroy a skill with barrier properties, a power sufficient to destroy the barrier itself is required. However, the barrage of light being rained down by the angels did not have the power to destroy the veil itself.

Just a swirling light lifted the curtain for a moment, and that moment was the only opportunity given to them.

Therefore, when the angels struck down, it was not a blow to set the meteor on fire, but to lift the curtain. Even if the Spear of Light burns their loyal followers, they don't care.

Only when the curtain was lifted did the earth on which the shooting star stood come into the angels' field of vision.

It was just a moment, and the watchers of light would never miss that moment.

Angels poured in, spreading their golden wings. Before I knew it, I was holding the sword of brilliance that was burning with pure white flame.

However, Yoosung also created dozens of frost swords and was also holding the hilts of the frost swords.

The cold swords revolving around the shooting star struck towards the rushing angels. At the same time, blades of shadow rose along the curtain of cancer that began to swirl again.

Nevertheless, the distance narrowed to just in front of the nose, and the angels holding the Sword of Radiance began swinging their swords.

Kaan:

A blazing pure white flame, and what stood against it was a blade of ice and frost containing a bitter coldness.

Fire and ice clashed, and a shadow was drawn over them. Light once again covered the overlapping shadows, and the sword and sword tangled together and fell again and again.

Sigh!

However, it was not easy for Yooseong alone to handle the five Watchers of Light rushing in from all directions with their wings spread.

A pure white flame finally struck down on Yooseong’s back. In addition to the life-threatening pain, the ‘divine attack' hit the meteor with the dark attribute directly.

Yooseong clenched his lips to the point of bleeding in pain that made him struggle and scream at any moment.

It was by no means an unexpected attack for Yoosung, who possessed the divine protection ‘Battle Foreknowledge (S)’. However, knowing and acting are separate areas.

Puuk

——The sword of brilliance in the angel's hand tore through Yooseong's heart and protruded from behind his back.

The first fatal blow suffered since the season began. It was literally an instant death blow.

He had already used the Chicheonsa Shield skill embedded in ‘Golden Fanaticism' and there was no way to block it.

That's why I suffered it.

God's Protection 1《The One Who Cheats Death》

- Grade . Extra (Ex)

- Effect

. Has a 50% chance to return an instant death blow to nothing. (Cooldown 720h)

Protection 一《A reversal of victory)

- Grade . Extra (Ex)

- Effect

. Probabilities below 50% can be fixed to 100%. (Cooltime 336h)

Separate from skill cards, supernatural ability protection granted by monarchs. That's also an extra grade. Because Yoosung had a trump card that remained unchanged no matter how many seasons passed.

The sword of brilliance is still piercing Yooseong's heart from behind.

However, ‘death' did not come to Yooseong.

In that state, Yooseong swung his frost sword and the angels' flesh and bones were cut off. Two objects in one sword. In that state, Yooseong swung his sword without stopping.

I don't think there are that many players who can move after having their heart ripped out. Even the Watchers of Light would not doubt that fact.

But the meteor was moving. A being that I have no doubt will not move and that deserves to die.

Frost swords swirled around, and before we knew it, a veil of darkness had engulfed the area.

All of the remaining angels were close to the shooting star. Soon, Yooseong hid himself in the tent and swung his sword.

Blades of cold and shadow swirled, and the light faded.
