Helmut
Episode 430
“The enemy is coming this way.”
“It’s better.”
“If they were surrounded by the Black Wing Knights, they would have had to sacrifice a lot to bring out the author.”
“If we just remove the author, Linosa’s will to fight will also be lost.”
The ministers viewed the war situation positively. What kind of arrogance is this, digging in alone?
No matter how skilled he is, what he is dealing with is a temple.
To those with dark powers, they were natural enemies. Although it is a fearsome dance, this is the first time that such power has been used to catch one person in a temple.
You will melt alive in front of the five high priests, and not even your bones will be able to be recovered.
However, unlike them, the situation of those below facing Helmut was not like that.
We can’t let him break through the middle of the temple’s army.
Isn’t it only by tying one’s feet that there will be a chance for divine magic to take a direct hit?
At the very least, his strength had to be exhausted before he reached the high priests.
However, everyone who stood in Helmut’s way died without even being able to utter a single word.
A person can be revived if they are still alive, but a dead person cannot be revived.
Helmut’s sword was harsh, and he never lost sight of what he wanted.
What he was wielding looked like a grim reaper’s scythe.
Absolute death. Anyone who stands in his way will die without fail.
“Aaaah!”
“die!”
Helmut’s momentum rushing straight towards the high priests was overwhelming.
Sigh! Kwasik! Kugoogung!
Those who were caught in fear and astonishment and rushed towards him like moths had their throats pierced and their armor fell off.
Hee hee hee!
It was a crucible of chaos with horses running wild and knights and soldiers rushing through them.
Helmut frowned. Finally, the hill came into view.
But he too was out of breath. No matter how much he fights by dodging and cutting, the divine power is a force that eats away at him from the source.
This was my first time seeing vis wear off so quickly.
No, it’s not the first time. It was the same when passing through the sacred barrier. An unpleasant sensation surged throughout my body.
Helmut took a deep breath and glared straight ahead.
The high priests were gathered in one place without breaking up their ranks. As if contemplating this situation.
As if he was sure he couldn’t reach them.
In fact, almost no priests fighting in the rear died. The only ones dying are paladins and soldiers.
‘Does the name temple paralyze the mind?’
Helmut struck the enemy’s neck with a single sword and pierced his heart through a gap in his armor.
The only purpose was to save strength, but was it a problem because he was killed so quietly without damaging any limb?
Even after seeing this, the enemies did not back down and instead rushed at him as if they were on drugs.
It would be rare to see an army that was not so buried in fear. That one was worth acknowledging.
‘Where did he go?’
Helmut noticed that Levant, who had been persistently pursuing him, had disappeared at some point.
I’ve thought about the possibility of him targeting the Archduke, but he’s not that bold.
From here, they will race toward the High Priest, but they will not be able to penetrate Latona’s forces.
Unlike Helmut, his power is not absolute.
‘Here we go again.’
Helmut’s eyes became sharp again.
For just a moment, as he slowed down his breathing, divine magic was pouring down on him.
Kiaang!
The divine power that had been scraped off was scattered into the air.
The divine power that spread like fog irritated the eyes and nose like acrid smoke.
It hurt. My senses became dull for a moment.
‘two… … No, three!’
At that moment, like a flash in Helmut’s dulled senses, he felt three paladins surrounding him and attacking him at the same time.
The moment he slowed down gave them a chance to form a camp.
However, there is enough room to deal with it. Helmut’s sword was drawn horizontally.
Break the first paladin’s sword and slit the second paladin’s throat.
Wow!
A fountain of blood dyed the air red.
However, a third paladin remained. And then he changed the angle, and the divine magic fell towards him in a parabola.
‘I’m sick of it.’
Helmut jumped off his horse. And he dug in from underneath the third paladin on horseback.
Kwajajajak!
When he broke the armor and plunged the sword into his stomach, the sword that was striking at Helmut lost its power.
The paladin’s body bent helplessly and fell on top of Helmut. At that time, divine magic rushed towards them.
As the paladin was dying, he held Helmut’s sword tightly with both hands.
There wasn’t enough time to pull it out and swing it.
Helmut raised his entire body.
Hwaaaah!
A tingling pain came as if I had been sprayed with acid.
As soon as Helmut was hit directly by holy magic, he drew his sword and threw his body away.
Craddangtang!
He immediately got on his horse and ran.
Heeheeheehee!
The horse that had changed its owner galloped across the battlefield, screaming loudly.
Helmut unconsciously placed his hand on his shoulder.
When the divine magic hit him directly a while ago, the divine power penetrated his armor, leaving a light scar on his shoulder.
It burned away the minute demonic energy in his body and left scars on his skin.
Even though he had been fighting for such a long time, it was Helmut’s first wound. He felt hot as if he had been burned.
As I became aware of the wound, a flash of realization passed through my mind.
‘Right. ‘This could be useful.’
Helmut had almost achieved his goal of breaking through the army alone.
An opaque curtain appeared in front of me. A sacred barrier created by priests.
The temple’s army is also focused forward to fight against Latona’s troops. The priests were gathered together in the rear row. The ones who exist at the very center of them are the high priests.
Five high priests were watching Helmut.
His biggest and oldest enemies. We finally reached them.
Even though there was a barrier blocking it. I could clearly feel their gaze.
Although they are noble and arrogant, their eyes are a little shocked to see Helmut reach this point.
Helmut was the enemy that posed the greatest threat to the temple since the Demon War a thousand years ago.
The corner of Helmut’s mouth lifted up. It was a fierce smile.
‘You who tried to kill me failed, and now it is your turn to die.’
The countless breathtaking moments he had experienced came to mind. He had to survive by dying and killing, and there were also moments when he could not remain whole even after surviving.
Times when I lived with a light of hope amidst pain and patience.
I fell to the abyss, and the pain I experienced in that abyss. How can I express this feeling of climbing up from there and standing in front of the people who gave him that life?
Their duties and Helmut’s life clashed violently.
But now that Helmut has survived in the end, it is their turn to have their duty shattered.
The moment Helmut is blocked, the holy magic will hit him directly.
Since the prey came to them on their own, it must have been a pleasant situation for the high priests who had to chase after the target that was always running away from them.
‘Is that really the case?’
Helmut rushed forward and thrust his sword toward the barrier.
As if holding a vis and piercing through one point.
The sword he had learned his entire life pierced the barrier in a straight line.
Quang!
The entire barrier shook with a heavy noise. Several priests fell out, vomiting blood.
“Aaaah!”
Support position.
His vis was purified from the barrier and turned a beautiful blue-white color.
The priests were shocked at the sight of him attacking without hesitation.
“How dare you!”
“That ferocity that charges at you like an animal!”
“The author must be purified!”
Amidst the clamor, a person slowly walked out of the barrier.
Levant. Helmut frowned when he saw the face of the man he remembered as ‘the unlucky guy who got hit by a weapon.’
‘You came quickly.’
Instead of chasing after them while fighting, they probably turned around and rode their horses to get there first.
Because Helmut’s destination is obvious anyway. He declared to Helmut with burning eyes.
“You cannot cross the barrier until you pass me!”
It was Levant who was overcome with rage as he watched Helmut cut down his comrades.
Their deaths after sacrificing themselves in the temple were sacred, but the sorrow and anger over losing them was unavoidable.
It was because he had missed this evil person in front of him. Because he wasn’t confident enough!
‘I won’t let my guard down. I will definitely kill this person right here.’
Even if it means sacrificing this body to live, Helmut will definitely die here.
The Levant strengthened its burning will. The holy sword radiated a bright white light as if radiating its will.
“I thought he had taken me out, but he ended up here. “To fight with the High Priest on my back.”
Helmut spat sarcastically, keeping an eye on Levant’s condition.
As if he had received various strengthening magics from the high priests, an enormous force was felt in Levant’s body.
It activated the muscles of the whole body, increased concentration, and filled it with divine power.
They had realized that if the small dogs rushed in as a group anyway, they wouldn’t pose much of a threat to Helmut.
Even the ministers were not hanging out here. They put the Levant in prime condition to take on Helmut alone.
He is a knight of God chosen by the Holy Sword. He was a warrior who would punish that evil man with the sprouts of darkness.
That was the perfect picture they thought.
Although we were defeated once, it was due to lack of preparation.
Unlike Helmut, who fights with the weakness of Magi, this time Levant had the conditions and support to bring out his skills to the fullest.
Looking at Levant, who stood in complete contrast to himself, Helmut became displeased inside.
‘He’s an unlucky guy. No, he’s a lucky guy.’
In that case, I would have to make today the most unlucky day for him.
As death!
“Come at me.”
Helmut lifted his fingertips as if provoking.
Players give way to the weak.
Levant charged at him like an angry bull and swung his sword.
Buuuuung!
With a loud sound, the sacred power from the holy sword turned into a huge blade and cut through the air.
Yes, empty space.
“Even if you have great power, if you don’t have the skills to handle it.”
Helmut added briefly.
“You’re just swayed by power.”
And being able to manipulate that power is an absolute state.
