< 300. Decisive Battle (8) >
#300
“He is the king of giants. He’s sorry he left you trapped in the castle. “There was no way he could go to the rescue.”
The people who heard the savior’s words froze. Irregular flashes and roars were shaking the battlefield. Marya, who was breathing heavily, opened her mouth.
“I completely understand… But what did you just say?”
“They said he was the king of giants. “He’s probably the one they call ‘him.’”
“That can’t be possible…”
She stiffened again. She thought she had heard wrong, but it turns out she wasn’t. A king. I never would have thought that even giants existed. The savior, looking up at the sky, clicked his tongue.
“It’s a shame that we lost Abel. “I never thought it would come out with such a bold strategy.”
“Ah, if it’s Abel… then did you also fight with the leader of Nebula Clazier?”
“Not only did he fight, but he came close to cutting his throat. “My son, who threw off his shackles, performed well.”
“shackles? “Hey…what on earth happened while we were away?”
Marya asked with wide eyes. Changes had taken place too radically for the time she had been away. She and her commando team were trapped in her castle and had no idea what had happened.
“Well, you don’t know. So, let’s just get to the point…”
The savior shook his head and opened his mouth. Even if it was a bit cumbersome, it was necessary to clearly convey the situation to these major forces.
He gave a brief account of what had happened during the commandos’ absence. Ronan’s destruction, the invasion of the battleship Dainhar, the sudden descent of the giant king, and Abel’s flight. Marya was astonished and kept her mouth shut.
“Oh my god, Ronan has become so strong?”
“okay. Judging by the look on his face, it seems he knew about my son’s condition. I can guarantee that Ronan will be the strongest creature born on this planet right now. “Of course, if all remaining curses disappear.”
“Amazing… In the end, the curse was the problem. “There was a reason I was so hung up on it.”
Marya muttered. It was an incredibly wonderful situation, but at the same time, it was also vain. I don’t know, but he worked really hard.
The thought that all the hardships and efforts up until now had been in vain was making me smile bitterly. Her savior, who had been staring at her intently, shook his head.
“That’s not necessarily true. “It would have been impossible for my son to become that strong if my efforts had not been supported.”
“yes? Uh, how can I think…”
“A rare talent for an old man. Don’t you know this when you see me and Abel? He has lived for countless years, but he is no match for my son, who has just become an adult. “Your days stained with sweat and blood are never in vain.”
The savior’s expression was extremely serious. He actually thought it was a true miracle that Ronan had grown into a person who was capable of working hard.
‘Honestly, I expected him to grow up to be a bastard.’
No matter how many curses suppressed his strength as a newborn, a lion is still a lion. Kasha was a smart woman, so Ronan must have realized early on that everyone except herself was nothing more than her sheep or deer.
It would have been overwhelmingly likely that he would have lived a life steeped in sloth and arrogance, but as a savior who did not know that Ronan was living a second life, he could only be grateful. He smiled and finished speaking.
“I just put up the capstone of a monumental tower. So, don’t be pessimistic.”
“Yes, yes… thank you.”
Marya bowed her head. It wasn’t a big deal for her, but somehow it made her feel better. Yes, it couldn’t have been in vain.
“…But I can’t guarantee a match against that one. Even if you are strong, you are too strong.”
At that time, the savior turned his gaze to the sky again and sighed. Just watching was putting a strain on my body. The sight of the king of the giants tearing up the magic circle and revealing himself gave everyone an unforgettable shock.
Abel took advantage of the momentary confusion and ran away. He wanted to chase after him, but the giant king attacked right away and there was no way.
If they had chosen to pursue Abel rather than defend at that moment, about half of the allied forces would have been wiped out. Marya asked.
“Isn’t there anything we can do?”
“there is. But haven’t you come in the midst of hardship? “Let’s rest for a bit and later… gag!”
Suddenly, the savior coughed loudly. Clap! Dark red blood soaked the floor. Asher, who was next to me, came hurriedly.
“Gwae, are you okay?!”
“Okay…huh, not yet.”
The Savior nodded. Blood was flowing down the palm that covered his mouth. Mana flowed up onto Asher’s shoulders as he floundered.
“Woah, as expected, I don’t have enough strength. “I need a little more…!”
“no. Everyone is doing a good job so it’s okay. “I don’t know when the final decision will come, so don’t overexert yourself and just keep doing things the way you are now…”
The Savior raised his hand to stop Asher from squeezing out more mana. Suddenly, Marya realized why the savior had told her and the other members to rest.
He maintained the star’s protection by receiving mana from not only Asher but also everyone on the battlefield. The Savior wiped his mouth with his sleeve and turned to Adeshan.
“…I am especially indebted to you two. Did you say Adeshan? If it weren’t for you and that kid, I would have collapsed a long time ago.”
Adeshan was sitting cross-legged on a tall pile of rubble. Her long black hair fluttered as the sound of the clash between Ronan and the Giant King rang out.
The shadow mana that controls the psychology of living things was spreading like wildfire around her. Marja, unable to see the mana of her shadow, tilted her head.
“Now that I think about it, what is Adeshan doing?”
“Sir, I’m helping people draw mana. “I knew he was an amazing person, but I never thought he would do something like that to the entire Allied Forces this time…”
Asher stuttered his answer. As he said, Adeshan was calming the frightened people and guiding them into a psychological state that made it easier to transfer mana to the savior.
Even though it was said to be inside the star’s protection, it was still a chaos outside. The giants were flying around, throwing spears at the shield, and Schlieffen’s storm was growing bigger and bigger.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was in fact thanks to her that mana was transmitted smoothly amidst this chaos. Marya, who was looking around, opened her mouth with a determined expression.
“Instead of doing this, I will quickly move Lee Lil to a safe place. “Please use my mana too.”
“Thank you for saying that. “Then my daughter…”
The savior was about to say something. Quaaaaang-! Suddenly, something fell from the sky and struck the defense shield.
“Wow!”
“Ro, Ronan’s father!”
Blood poured out from the savior’s mouth again. It was so powerful that the entire curtain shook. The surprised people began to murmur.
“What, what happened?!”
“Did a meteorite fall?”
It didn’t seem like it was an attack from a giant king, but I was wondering what on earth hit me. Suddenly, someone’s voice rang out from above the Allied soldiers’ heads.
“Kaaaaaa! “Oh my gosh, it really hurts so badly…!”
“What is this voice?”
The group quickly raised their heads. A very familiar young man was lying on the tent. Even though it was only from the back, I could clearly see it. Asher shouted.
“Ro, Ronan!”
“ok?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. He remained in the lying position and only turned his head. He saw his friends running around with their hands stretched out to the sky.
“What, you are all alive.”
“are you okay? Aren’t you all hurt?!”
“It hurts, but I’m still okay. “Nice to meet you all.”
He spat out his broken teeth and grinned. I didn’t think they would die since they were so born, but seeing them in such good health put my mind at ease.
Looking at the storm, it seemed like Schlieffen was still alive. Ronan suddenly looked back at Marya and sucked in a breath. She was fast asleep with Iril in her arms. It was the first time she had seen her since she was kidnapped by Abel.
“You’re sleeping too, right?”
“Uh, huh. Don’t worry, we’ll treat it right away. “If there’s anything we can help you with…!”
“I’m done with it, so just worry about you guys. “With my sister.”
Ronan grabbed the hilt of his sword. If she wanted to, she would have gone right away and checked on her sister and her friends, but she couldn’t afford it. He was in the process of recovering his strength while lying down. Suddenly, the center of the dark clouds turned white.
“Oh my god, damn it!”
It was like looking at the sky right before lightning struck. Ronan cursed at a phenomenon whose meaning was self-evident. It was the moment when he got up and was swinging La Mancha. Kwaaaaaa-! The clouds parted, and a beam of light that could be tens of meters in diameter poured out.
“oh my god···!”
“Ro, Ronan!”
The beam of light was falling directly towards Ronan. A long, dark shadow was cast against the backlight. My friends’ faces turned white. They instinctively realized that it was an attack similar to the spear of light thrown by the giants.
“Die···!”
Marya muttered. It was not something that could be avoided or prevented. But Ronan did not back down and swung his sword. Sigh! Hundreds of sword strikes created a dense net and tore the flash of light into pieces.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu deliciously… just do it in moderation…!”
The battlefield was oppressed by a heat that felt like the sun had been brought before our eyes. A cobweb-like crack was forming where Ronan was stepping on her feet. People watching the scene were amazed.
“I’m blocking that.”
“Nonsense.”
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it. Thanks to Ronan responding, there was no damage at all below. His sophisticated yet sharp sword strike cut down without even a single ray of light.
Before long, the last fragments of light scattered into the air. The world, which had been completely white, began to regain its original color. Ronan was in the middle of catching his breath that was up to his chin. Rumbling…! The giant king’s upper body suddenly popped out from under the thickening clouds again.
“I appeared!”
“Oh my god, that…!”
Shock erupted from everywhere. The Giant King’s first blow came from inside the magic circle, and as soon as the Savior defended himself, Ronan went to intercept it, so this was the first time we saw him in action.
It was similar to other giants in appearance, such as being white and bald, but its size was indescribably gigantic. It seemed like Ronan, as well as other giants, could swallow it in one bite. There were a total of eight wings hidden in the clouds.
“That is…”
Suddenly, the savior’s eyes widened. He had seen something similar to that in the past. A shooting star that changed his life forever. He bore a striking resemblance to the giant stuck in the bottomless pit.
“You fucking bald bastard!”
At that time, Ronan, who had finally caught his breath, shouted in an angry voice. A large vein stood out on her forehead where her bangs were pressed together. The La Mancha held in his hand was colored with the color of the sunset. Ronan’s aura, attracting his opponents, enveloped his battlefield.
“Ro, Ronan?! “It’s dangerous here!”
Braum was shocked when he saw that. It’s good to bring down a giant, but if something so huge falls, it would be impossible to handle. It was the car he was about to shout out. Faaaa! As the sky was colored with sunset-colored brilliance, Ronan’s body was launched into the sky.
“I’ll kill you!”
It was like seeing a huge firecracker. As the Giant King disappeared behind the clouds, Ronan, who had been launched into the same orbit, disappeared into the clouds. Kwaaang-! The crash sound exploded once again.
“uh?”
Braum was taken aback by the completely unexpected situation. That wasn’t the only thing that surprised me. Jaifa, who had been quietly observing the situation, spoke for the first time.
“Why is that kid moving? “Isn’t it right that the other person should come down in the first place?”
“My son’s aura seems to attract enemies within the range of the light. But this time the opponent is too strong. “The pulling force is different, so you are pulled.”
“no wonder. “It was like a dogfight.”
Jaifa laughed after hearing the savior’s answer. Ronan was competing with the giant king while repeatedly using his aurors.
Soon they came to their senses and began to cooperate with the savior in earnest. An eerily familiar, dry voice came from far away.
“…were you there? “You’ve been looking for it for a while.”
