Chapter 51 – Long Live the Sun
Light poured down from the ceiling.
And in that light, slowly, as if walking through the sky, comes down.
Behind his large and beautiful body, which was as solid as steel, a halo shone, and he looked like a legendary hero who had just emerged from mythology – no, like a god.
‘How did you appear?’
How did Landius appear at this point?
Judging from the fact that he appeared by breaking the ceiling, it seems that he knew exactly where Uther and Cordelia were.
‘I don’t know!’
Because that wasn’t what was important right now.
In a crisis situation, the only thing that was important was that Landius had a cheat key that would solve all the problems!
“help!”
“I will do so, girl.”
Landius answered with a soft smile and settled down on the ground.
He looked back at the glowing Yuder floating in the air, then turned his head back towards the monsters.
“Girl, I’ll be back soon after cleaning up.”
“What about Yuder?”
Cordelia’s question was not conveyed properly because immediately after, Landius violently kicked the ground, creating a tremendous vacuum and loud noise.
Kukookung-!
The entire temple shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and the spiders that had been jumping out with great force hesitated.
Landius just looked at those spiders, and that was enough for him.
Dozens of spiders suddenly let out a scream and began to scatter and run away.
“and.”
It’s not like it’s some kind of king-like thing.
Cordelia let out a blank voice without realizing it, at the sight of Landius’ majesty, but it was still not yet.
Landius strode forward towards the Living Heavy Armies that had begun to surge in late.
“Lord Landius! It would be better for me!”
Cordelia, who came to her senses late, suddenly shouted.
Even if it was Landius, the opponent was Living Heavy Armor – and there were over thirty of them, so it would take a considerable amount of time to deal with them.
So it had to be changed.
Cordelia herself is dealing with the Living Heavy Armies, and Landius is checking on Uther’s condition-
Boom!
Oppression.
An explosion of air caused by a fist.
And the light that arises.
Hot flash.
Landius’s fist struck, and the Living Heavy Armor that was hit exploded. What was even more frightening was the fact that it wasn’t just one blow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was a tragedy that they were forming a quake-proof formation.
Even the ones positioned behind the Living Heavy Armor that was hit by the attack were blown up one after another.
Kukuku-!
Five hits with one punch.
Although he was a living heavy armor boasting powerful defenses, he was no different from a piece of paper in front of Landius’s fist.
“wow.”
Cordelia let out a blank voice again, and Landius continued. He ignored the Living Heavy Armies who had suddenly come to their senses and went about his business, regardless of whether they attacked or not.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A fist, another fist, and a kick.
A storm arose in just three movements.
Those who were hit by Landius’s fist exploded, and those who missed the blow or were hit by the aftermath were torn apart like sheets of paper.
Of course, the Living Heavy Marsers didn’t just sit there and take it. As expected from a fearless bunch, they counterattacked by hitting Landius’s body, but even though Landius was naked – and his upper body was completely exposed – not a single effective hit landed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It wasn’t the sound of a sword striking iron.
It was the sound of a sword striking a muscle.
‘What is that?’
Why do muscles deflect swords?
Why is my skin fine even though I hit it with a knife?
It didn’t seem like any magic was used.
It didn’t even seem like he used any technology.
This is truly a passive skill.
The defensive power of muscles is enough to make something like a moderate amount of armor.
“Girl! Close your eyes!”
Landius suddenly shouted, and Cordelia reflexively shut her eyes tightly.
It was Landius’s command, which had god-like majesty, so it was natural to follow it.
And right after that.
Even though her eyes were closed, Cordelia felt her vision suddenly filled with a bright light.
For indeed, a tremendous amount of light was emitted from not far away.
light.
opening.
The transcendent force of life.
At that moment, Cordelia realized something new.
One thing I had forgotten because of the overwhelming power of the muscles.
‘Warrior of the Sun.’
Landius’ nickname during the first episode of Heroes Chronicles.
Warrior of the Sun, Landius!
Kwahaa-!
The light was followed by the howling of the air, and then silence.
“It’s done now. Open your eyes, girl.”
Cordelia opened her eyes slightly at Landius’s words and swallowed her breath in surprise.
More than thirty Living Heavy Armors were lying on the floor like rags, parts of their surfaces melted away.
‘As expected, the warrior of the sun.’
Chosen by the sun, the power of the extreme sun and the great force of life.
‘Wouldn’t Landius be able to fight the Demon Prince by himself?’
The power of the sun was also good against demons.
Cordelia, who had been nodding without realizing it, soon started to shiver. That wasn’t what was important right now.
“Lord Landius! Yuder!”
“I know, girl.”
After saying that, Landius strode towards me again.
Landius, whose atmosphere and speech gave the impression that he should be an old man, was actually only in his late thirties – not even forty.
In fact, her face was smooth without a single wrinkle.
‘Oh, scary.’
As Landius, who was 2 meters and 30 centimeters tall – no, he seemed even bigger – approached with brisk strides, it felt as if a wall was being pushed back.
Landius smiled slightly as if he understood Cordelia’s body shrinking without him knowing, then stood next to her and looked at Yuder.
“Is that really so?”
“Do you know what the condition is? Are you okay?”
When Cordelia asked urgently, instead of answering, Landius narrowed his eyes and placed his large hand on her shoulder.
“The disciple is now opening a new door and experiencing a spiritual and physical transformation.”
“Is it good?”
“You could say it’s good. But something bad is happening.”
“yes?”
It’s good, but it’s not good. What on earth does that mean?
As Cordelia suddenly became tearful, Landius continued his explanation in a calm tone.
“It is good to open a new door and break the existing framework of the spirit and the flesh, but it is going too far. Right now, we are trying to go to a point where it is impossible, and if we are not careful, the spirit and the flesh themselves will be destroyed.”
“What, what did you say? Then we have to stop it! Quickly!”
“I will do so. But girl, I alone am not enough. You must also help me.”
“How? Can I give you some magic power or something?”
Cordelia blinked as she asked, and Landius shook his head.
“Little girl, listen carefully. As I said at the beginning, the disciple is currently undergoing a change of both spirit and flesh. If this continues, a complete transformation will be possible, with the body being reborn to match the expanded soul. So, do not touch him right now.”
“Because a complete transformation is a good thing?”
“Yes. Until the transformation, it is better to use the current flow… to run wild. That is why I will aim for the moment right after the transformation is over. I plan to use my energy to catch the disciple’s energy and calm him down.”
“I think I know.”
I remember seeing something similar in a martial arts webtoon.
It was a scene where the master saved the main character who was obsessed with money.
‘The master placed his hand on the protagonist’s back while he was sitting cross-legged and injected energy into him… something like that?’
It seemed like they were talking about doing something similar.
“Then what about me?”
Landius clearly said that Cordelia’s own strength was also needed.
Is it really necessary to have magic power?
“The girl’s role is important.”
“So what the heck is it!”
Even as they talked like this, the cracks of light that spread across Yuder’s body continued to grow larger.
Yuder, who seemed to be quiet for a moment, started screaming again.
“The role of the girl is to summon the soul of the disciple.”
“yes?”
“I will stabilize the disciple’s body with my energy. However, the Nine Heavenly Gate is a supernatural technique that leads the spirit and flesh to a higher level, so I need to call in the disciple’s soul that is trying to reach beyond the gate that can be opened now and the gate above it. And I think only a girl can do that.”
I thought I had a rough idea.
In a word, it was saying that we need to get our minds back on track.
“How can I do this?”
“Call your disciples.”
“Oh, you screaming?”
“Any way is fine. As soon as I start stabilizing the disciple’s body, the girl will call the disciple’s soul.”
“No! That’s too vague!”
“No, that’s not true. The girl can do it. I’ve seen it myself, but Lena said so. The disciple and the girl love each other as if they were one body. The power of love is truly great, so the girl’s appeal will be able to capture the disciple’s soul.”
“What, what did you say?”
“It’s the power of love, girl.”
Landius spoke solemnly, and Cordelia blinked. She unconsciously looked back at Landius’s pot-lid-like hand resting on her shoulder, and thought.
‘Hey, you’re talking nonsense with a serious face!’
Yeah, the power of love?
There’s no way something like that could happen between you and Yuder!
“Let’s get started.”
“Now, just a moment!”
“There is no time to delay!”
It was the moment when Landius suddenly raised his voice.
“Ahhhh!”
Uder screamed, and a massive amount of light emitted from the cracks of light that covered his entire body, engulfing Uder’s entire body.
“girl!”
Landius, who had shouted loudly, closed his eyes and stretched out his sword towards Yuder.
Then, a golden aura began to emanate from Landius’ entire body like flames.
And it continued.
The golden light that arose from Landius’s fingertips enveloped Yuder, who was covered in pure white light.
It felt like a river about to overflow had been blocked by a dam.
“hurry!”
Landius shouted again, closing his eyes and concentrating his consciousness. Sweat began to pour down like rain from Landius’ entire body.
“Ugh······.”
Cordelia, who had been stamping her feet for a moment, ran towards Uther and shouted as best she could.
“Hey! Yuder! Hey!”
“With love!”
“Ugh!”
Cordelia, whose face became tearful at Landius’s scream, shouted something again.
Whether it was sincerity or acting, he let out a scream that would satisfy Landius, and a sound that would surprise Yuder when he heard it.
“Keep going!”
“Fuck!”
A rant. And then a love appeal that follows right after!
‘Just try not to come back!’
I won’t forgive you!
Is it because I’m embarrassed, or is it because I’m desperate?
Cordelia, whose eyes were already red, shouted again. She desperately called out Uther’s name.
“Uder!”
&
‘Cordelia?’
Light and darkness.
A world made of black and white.
Just like the flow of time flowing powerfully, Yuder, who had been simply surrendering himself to the rapids moving forward, suddenly came to his senses.
The fifth door.
And the sixth door.
The space between two doors.
‘ah.’
Uder blinked again, recognizing the world in black and white.
The fifth door.
I was able to open it thanks to the power of life.
But then I got greedy. I ended up reaching out towards the sixth door that was vaguely visible.
‘I can’t reach it.’
Not yet.
As of now.
If we continue like this, all that’s left is destruction.
A future where he cannot reach the sixth door and collapses in front of it, exhausted from strength.
‘It’s not enough.’
To open the door
Not just the power of life, but also physical strength, magical power, Yuder’s own prowess, the size of his soul – that was the moment.
My consciousness began to cloud again.
I lost consciousness again in the rapids that just kept moving forward.
If I close my eyes like this, it’s over.
But I want to close my eyes.
Just like this-
Just like this-
“Uderu …
My mind suddenly opened.
Cordelia’s call.
Cordelia’s cry.
The hallucinations were clear.
That would be the case, because the continuous shouts and the stories that followed Uther’s name were words that the real Cordelia would never say.
But that was enough.
The moment I heard Cordelia’s voice, whether it was an auditory hallucination or not, my withering will to live was rekindled.
‘I have to go back.’
When he disappeared, Cordelia was alone.
Bed Ending Alone – Even if you give it a good rating, you’re left in a world that’s running towards a sad ending.
So I had to go back.
I had to go back and be with Cordelia.
and-
and-
“Cordelia!”
Uder shouted. He turned around in the torrent, resisting the strong current. He forced himself against the current and headed toward the fifth gate.
Because it was still there.
Because I couldn’t die like this.
It was also true that Cordelia could not be left alone.
The thought of standing next to that precarious guy and becoming his support remained the same.
But that wasn’t all.
Uther’s own greed.
Uther’s own aspirations.
A private but therefore human wish.
Everything I want to do with Cordelia!
“Cordelia!”
Yuder’s soul burned. He resisted the mighty flow and moved forward. He took one step at a time toward the fifth door, and eventually he started running.
“Uderu …
Cordelia’s call.
She stands in front of the fifth door.
Uder kicked the ground, jumping over the mighty flow.
&
A golden flash exploded.
Landius groaned and took a step back, then raised his head hastily. Then he smiled.
Yuder Bayer.
His disciple appeared.
Through a transformation, a new disciple broke through his shell and revealed himself.
The pure white light that had been covering his entire body had also completely dissipated, allowing him to see Uder’s entire appearance.
“Uder?!”
Cordelia, who was standing right in front, called out to Yuder urgently.
Thanks to the transformation, Yuder has become bigger and more beautiful than before.
The height difference of about 10cm had now become larger, and I had to raise my head a long way to make eye contact with Yuder.
Through her ebony hair that flowed carelessly, she could see Uther’s green eyes. Cordelia’s own face was reflected in those eyes that held a mysteriousness that seemed to draw her in the more she looked at them.
“Yuder? Are you okay? It’s Yuuder!”
Instead of answering, Uther took a step forward and staggered as if he was going to fall. Cordelia, who hurriedly hugged Uther, was surprised once again.
‘All of them are solid.’
It was Yuder’s body, hard and resilient, like a well-polished sword.
It felt like I was holding something different, not the same person.
“Are you okay? Are you okay now?”
When Cordelia, who had regained consciousness through a little meditation, asked, Uther slowly nodded. He raised his upper body with some force and looked at Cordelia, then spoke in a slightly dazed voice.
“pretty.”
“uh?”
“suited.”
What does it mean?
Cordelia blinked and could barely understand.
When you get the Coffin of Life on the 2nd floor.
A question casually asked while wearing it on one’s head.
“Say it quickly.”
Uther smiled slightly at the slightly resentful yet sharp words and leaned against Cordelia again.
I lost consciousness as if I had fainted.
And at that sight, Landius burst into a hearty laugh.
Although the disciple had passed out without even greeting his teacher because he had exhausted himself from flirting with his fiancé, he spoke without hiding his delight.
“Is this really the power of love?”
‘No, that’s not it? That’s not it?’
Cordelia quickly refuted in her mind, hugged Uther back, and ended up laughing.
It was strangely cute to see him sleeping like a baby even though he was bigger than me.
‘No, is it just because I like it?’
It’s not that I like Yuder, it’s that I’m glad he came back safely.
Cordelia, who spoke as if making excuses to herself, closed her eyes as if enjoying the present.
