Chapter 192: Allemier (2)

Chapter 192: Allemier (2)

Humanity has always revered someone transcendent.

They prayed to the gods for what they could not achieve with their own power, and longed for the gods’ help for what they could not reach with their own hands.

Faith was the pillar that supported people.

It was also the last line of defense that strengthened the weak human heart.

Most people cried out the names of the gods in desperate moments, and sought the help of miracles.

“......”

Then what are the gods?

What does the world call and cry out as gods?Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Why do humans fear what they call evil gods, and worship what they call good gods?

What criteria determine the line of right reason, and label what is on the opposite side as evil?

“■■......”

It was not an easy story to conclude.

Countless people had their own faiths, and countless faiths claimed their own truths.

I did not know what could be called the most valuable belief.

I could not even properly know who was allowed to tie the knot.

But there was something clearly left that I could understand with my shallow insight.

“Ma... ster......”

There are people somewhere in the world who cry out my name.

There are those who try to move forward even if they break and fall into the abyss.

Many people live day by day relying on their faith in me.

I do not know if I have the right to bear such faith.

Yet only by repaying their faith, I was given———.

“Master!”

Thud.

I woke up from the thoughts that weighed on my mind at Estasia’s voice.

I gasped for breath and looked around, only to see the darkened sky reflected in the window.

The scenery outside the divine realm was false, but the concept of time was not much different from the outside.

“......Estasia. How much time has passed?”

I moved my parched throat and opened my mouth toward Estasia.

A weak voice flowed from my cracked throat.

When I asked Estasia about the current time, she pointed at the window with her hand and said.

“Three days have passed.”

“Already three days?”

I rubbed my head that felt like it was going to break and recalled what had happened so far.

As the power of [Device: Smartphone] was released by one level due to causality adjustment, I was able to access <Karma’s Heavenly Voice> for a moment.

And I was swept away by the waves of information and thoughts in there for a while.

I managed to find a clue in the end, but the time I felt was not that long.

The time gap was bigger than I thought.

“Yes.”

“Pluto... Then what happened to Pluto?”

The last situation I faced came back to my mind.

Pluto in my memory was clearly fighting against the angels who approached the ground.

If nearly three days had passed since then, the battle must have reached some conclusion.

I had to check Pluto’s condition right away.

I quickly found my smartphone and looked at Pluto’s appearance on the screen.

– “......”

Pluto on the smartphone screen was dozing off.

He leaned on a black dragon as a pillow, and there were many feathers flying around him.

Around Pluto, there were also believers who were repairing the collapsed buildings of the cult.

It seemed that he somehow defended against the angels’ attack.

His body was covered with thick blood, showing the intensity of the battle.

“Master closed his eyes and fought with the black dragon for a long time.”

“What happened to the angels?”

“They all retreated as if something went wrong.”

“......That’s a relief.”

Pluto’s own power was formidable, and the sudden appearance of Naias also helped him to some extent.

I was relieved that the cult’s believers did not suffer a complete annihilation.

I sighed with relief and looked at Pluto soaked in blood.

He seemed to be in a deep sleep, as if he was exhausted from the battle.

“I guess it’s hard to send him to battle right now.”

It was a fight with an overwhelming difference in numbers.

If it wasn’t Pluto who stayed here, but another apostle, I couldn’t be sure if he could have done this much.

“Did I say that I broke because of my lack of faith?”

“It’s nothing but a fool’s step.”

“Then let me say it again.”

There was only one thing that Evan Allemier here had to do.

To cut off the admiration he had built up since childhood with his own hands.

Red sparks flew from Evan’s determined eyes.

Evan swung his magic sword with all his might with his eyes shining brightly.

“I am Evan Allemier, the second apostle.”

The black storm of lightning burst out and covered their sight.

Kwagwagwagwang!

The fierce storm of lightning stretched out toward Revelz and the knights.

Darkness covered the sky once, and then light tore through space.

Revelz also swung his sword to defend against the sharp trajectory that rushed toward him.

“——Light!”

Zap. Zzzzap.

Revelz’s holy sword began to refract space and moved to block Evan’s attack.

The black sword that flowed smoothly without unnecessary movements was sucked into the center of the storm in an instant.

As Revelz’s holy sword swung to collide with Evan’s magic sword.

Evan swiftly twisted his trajectory as he felt a powerful energy from the side.

“......!”

A little away from where their swords were about to clash.

There, a massive magic was gathering.

Light and heat. And the immense pressure from the compressed air.

It was a strike that could be fatal if he allowed it in an unprotected state.

‘I’ll be in trouble if I let this attack hit me.’

Evan swung his storm of lightning with his desperate hand at the unknown magic.

Crackle.

The lightning burst along the forced curve.

Evan’s magic sword moved to block the fire magic that flew toward him.

A blazing flame rose from where the magic appeared and covered the whole space with scorching heat.

“——Fire Storm.”

“Hus Allemier......!

Right after the voice of the magic chant and Revelz’s shout echoed.

The storm of lightning and the storm of fire collided in the air.

Evan’s body was pushed back as he twisted his center in the overlapping storm.

Kwaaaaang——!

Evan’s body lost its balance and bounced off the wall.

His sight shook in the air as he held his magic sword.

“Kugh......!”

It was a difficult situation to respond properly to the strike that came during the collision with Revelz.

Even Evan, who barely dodged the heat, could not ignore the force that pushed him away.

As he was pushed back by the shock wave, Evan pulled up his magic in his hand with a gauntlet.

He tried to stop his body before he got too far from the wall.

“——Astraphe!”

Crackle.

The wings of lightning spread out and offset most of the force that pushed Evan away.

Evan stabbed his magic sword into the ground to withstand the remaining force.

Kagagagak!

The ground where he stabbed his sword was scarred and Evan’s body stopped.

“Hah......”

He was able to stand still a little further from where he spread his wings.

A rough breath burst out of Evan’s mouth as he stabbed his sword into the ground.

The sudden magic that he did not detect was more powerful than he expected.

And there were only two people in Crossbridge who could do such a level of attack.

“I missed you. The second apostle, Evan Allemier.”

“You are......”

Hero. Or someone equivalent to that.

One of them was Arein Crost, an unrivaled genius.

And the other one was———.

“Let me introduce myself for the first time. The hero of knowledge, Hus Allemier.”

Evan Allemier’s only brother.

Hus Allemier.

He was standing in front of Evan with his magic.
