252. Battle of the Saints (3)
I opened my eyes.
The flash faded, gradually revealing the surrounding landscape.
The first thing I felt was the acrid air flowing through my airway. A strong stench, like inhaling sulfur, shook his head.
‘… … here is.’
It was said to be a fantasy world created by Irene.
I looked around. cool weather. A red full moon bloomed in the deep blue dawn sky. Below them, in the moonlight, I could see stone buildings lined up in rows.
“Kill.”
“Kill. Kill heresy.”
“Hang it. Hang it.”
It is constantly buzzing everywhere.
I turned my head. The place I was summoned to was a vast circular square. Around the fountain in the middle of the plaza, citizens of all ages gathered without a gap to set foot. They were staring at the temple right in front of them. To be precise, to a woman standing on the terrace on the top floor of the temple.
“Kill! Kill the traitor! Kill the traitor who sold us out!”
The girl, who looked less than twenty, raised her fist with a pickpocket.
I bit my lip. Instead of her eyeballs, there were only black holes pierced where her eyes should be.
[Raging Citizens Lv.54] X 658
People were vomiting, throwing objects in their hands, and cursing and blaming someone on the top floor of the temple.
“Never leave them alive! Rip them limb from limb and execute them!”
“Right! Right!”
“How dare you… betray the prince…!”
I clicked my tongue.
I noticed where this place was.
“Is this your trick?”
I glared at the pair of eyes floating in the sky.
<This place is fantasy, but it is also true.>
“Fantastic, but true? All I hear is bullshit.”
<If so, feel it for yourself.>
The eyes disappeared with a light laugh.
At that moment, a headache began to set in. I put my hands on my temples and looked straight ahead.
Soon after, a system message came to mind with a sound effect.
[Teeling!]
[The hero ‘Han (★★★★★)’ has entered the ‘fantasy world’.]
[A special mission has been assigned. If the mission fails, the special NPC ‘Priasis Al Ragna’ will die. Master, watch the situation carefully!]
Chijik. Jijik.
A noise rose, and the mission target in front of me was updated.
[Floor 15(?)]
[Mission Type – Escort]
[Goal – Protect a designated person.]
Buildings and roads lined up like a checkerboard.
Countless citizens gathered in the plaza and a temple built in the back.
I couldn’t forget This was a city called ‘Adilt’, which was the stage of the 15th floor.
15th floor.
This was the first mission Freea appeared on, and since it was a boss stage, she had to go through a lot of hardships.
‘If anything has changed… … .’
Citizens were rioting.
And, I was the only hero here.
finally… … .
“This……!”
Freea, who was standing on the terrace railing, raised her eyes.
She looked around with a bewildered expression. Not even that.
Suddenly, the location changes, and people are staring at him as if to kill him.
[10:00]
The time was displayed on the left side of the field of view.
10 minutes.
‘I have time to think… … I don’t think so.’
I walked out.
“What are you doing? Don’t disturb me…”
simplicity and honesty.
I twisted the wrist of the man who was blocking my way.
“Aagh!”
puck!
Kicked in the chest, it crashed into the fountain with a loud noise.
“W… Where is this place!”
No one answered Freea’s cry.
Each of them only let out a roar of anger.
Shadows shimmered in the curtains beyond the terrace.
[09:43]
I climbed the top of the fountain and jumped.
After jumping several meters at a time, I kicked the window groove and the railing once again.
Landed on the terrace in an instant.
“Aww!”
Surprised by the sudden intrusion, Freea sat down.
“Han?! This place is…”
“I don’t have time to answer. We have to get out of here in 10 minutes.”
“What are you talking about…”
Whoa!
sharp puncture.
I swung my right hand. As I spread my palms, the crossbow bolts fell to the floor.
If it was just a little bit late, it would have pierced a hole between Freea’s eyebrows.
“Isn’t this a familiar situation?”
“That’s right.”
“Get out of here. Hold on tight.”
Freea bit her lip and nodded.
He wasn’t the immature kid he was when we first met. She has grown up going through all kinds of prenatal trials. Freea soon hugged me with a determined expression. immediately.
“Quaaaaagh!”
The guys showed up.
[Enraged Church Soldier Lv.61] X 316
[Enraged Church Knight Lv.67] X 17
[Raging Assassin Lv.66] X 21
Over the terrace, in the building across the street, in the gate of the temple, in the plaza below, in the main street of the city,
Countless soldiers jumped out and rushed towards this place.
bloodshot eyes.
Blood was dripping from all the holes in his body.
It was already more like a monster than a human.
‘Is this a secret method?’
Clearing the boss stage that you have already beaten in hard mode again.
It was a pretty cute number. I smiled and jumped from the terrace while holding Freea.
Then, it lightly jumped over a distance of 5m and landed on the roof.
“Kill it! Kill it!”
Citizens and soldiers, knights and assassins, all of you are rushing at Freea.
Dozens of people were crushed and crushed to death, but they showed no signs of caring.
I couldn’t find the slightest reason in them.
ping! Pee Peep!
The assassin fired a crossbow.
I ran from roof to roof, out of line.
“Hello, are they really human?”
Freea looked back with a tired expression.
Soldiers were jumping several meters to the roof.
When they met my eyes, they blinked and jumped on all fours.
“Well. I don’t know.”
The map of the city is memorized.
After entering the alleyway, I moved my steps past the fork in the road that stretched countless times.
I couldn’t make any big movements because Freea was by my side, but this was enough. I swung Bifrost’s scabbard and smashed the heads of those who blocked my way.
It wasn’t hard to get rid of them.
The problem was when I left.
The exits were limited, and they must be guarding them.
‘Well, I’ll have to pierce it anyway.’
I ran out of the alley.
As I recall, the exit is right in front of me.
just as expected.
There is a gate at the end of the road.
And there were twenty soldiers encamped.
“Krarak! Kyaaaak!”
I glanced back.
A mixed crowd of citizens and soldiers is approaching this direction.
Momentum like a huge wave. If it gets swept away, I don’t know, but Priya will face her death.
‘ASAP.’
“Don’t be scared.”
I tossed Freea into the air.
“……?!”
Freea screamed and flew upward.
I snapped my fingers. Paper weave! The lightning that rose from her fingertips engulfed Fria, and her body stopped in midair. It was a simple gravity fixation.
“What is this…!”
“Geraaaaaagh!”
“The shout is unique.”
I put my hand on the scabbard.
Dark red lightning began to bounce from the hilt of the sword.
<What a waste of time this is. The saint of the church has gone as far as she can go.>
Halgion clicked his tongue.
waste time wasting
That’s right.
“Whoaaaagh!”
Before soldiers attack from all sides,
I flicked the scabbard up with my thumb.
Sugak.
A dark red semicircle swept through a 10m radius.
The humans who were swept in the semicircle hesitated for a moment, then fell to pieces all at once.
Total 20 people. The once pristine boulevard was stained with blood and flesh.
clap.
I returned the sword to the scabbard.
When I lowered my right hand, Fria, floating in the air, slowly fell.
“let’s go.”
Freea nodded awkwardly.
A whirlpool of light was spinning in the passage of the gate that was wide open.
that’s the exit. I said as I walked quickly through the aisle.
“Fria, it’s not over yet. Even if you go to a strange place, stay alert.”
“Ah, got it.”
“good.”
I looked to the side.
[05:20]
It took about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
It’s not a bad score.
[Drag and drop the screen! Please extend a helping hand to the NPC trapped in illusion!]
Amkena lowered the screen once more.
[Slash!]
[The dimensional door connected to the fantasy has opened!]
Whoops.
Brilliant light began to emanate from the vortex.
The first fantasy was on the 15th floor.
‘Then, next… … .’
Where is it?
You just have to experience it yourself.
I walked into the whirlpool.
[Teeling!]
[Hero ‘Han (★★★★★)’ has entered the ‘Second Illusion World’.]
[A special mission has been assigned. If the mission fails, the special NPC ‘Priasis Al Ragna’ will die. Master, watch the situation carefully!]
woo oh oh
After the light faded, a sandstorm hit the body.
A saintess’ voice was heard in the storm.
<You have passed the 15th floor.>
“It’s disappointing. Was it only this much?”
<It can’t be. There are even more wonderful gifts.>
“I look forward to that.”
I looked to the side with my feet on the sand.
Freea is… … does not exist.
It seemed that they were separated during the resummoning process.
‘Speaking of sand, there is only one place.’
It was unexpected, but it didn’t matter.
I caught my breath.
[Floor. 30(?)]
[Mission Type – Subjugation]
[Goal – Destroy the enemy!]
[Special Goal – Survival of NPC ‘Priasis All Ragna’]
woo.
I spit out the sand that came into my mouth and looked around.
An endless desert. A sandstorm was blowing everywhere, obscuring the view.
And, far beyond the sandstorm.
oh oh oh
A huge shadow began to move.
[Ancient Stone Statue Lv.???]
“……ha.”
A sigh escaped me.
I just didn’t want to meet him.
<How do you like my present? This stage will not be easy.>
“…”
<With a human body that is so fragile, can you overcome the purification of ancient sorcery? Huhuhu, I hope you bury the bones with the traitor in my fantasy.>
Irene’s voice disappeared.
I shrugged.
thud!
The ground shook lightly.
It was the aftermath of the statue stepping on it.
He was walking towards the right side of the desert.
‘It’s not targeting me.’
Not far from the stone statue.
I saw Freea running in a hurry.
‘… … this.’
Freea was running hard, but the statue was right behind her.
oh oh
The stone statue slowly raised its arm.
<Han, run!>
“know!”
Papababak!
I ran through the sand.
‘Ancient stone statue.’
The size is about 300m.
Same height as the Eiffel Tower.
It was a far-fetched, truly gigantic monster.
‘The distance is too far!’
Freea sat down.
‘It’s the purification of ancient magic.’
It can never be matched by human power.
If the Lizardmen hadn’t made a passage inside, we would have died there.
It shakes the ground and overturns the earth’s crust with a single punch. Its power was comparable to that of hundreds of dynamites. That fist was about to plunge into Fria.
‘So, do you think you won against me?’
The saintess will be looking at us somewhere with a smile of conversion.
I bent over.
“I’ll show you if you want.”
I bit my tongue hard.
The fishy taste of blood spread dizzyingly in my mouth.
“Halgion.”
Pajijijijik!
Dark red thunderbolts spread all over his body.
[‘Han (★★★★★)’ has entered a magical state!]
Black scales protruded through the skin of the whole body.
My eyesight was stained red.
bang!
I kicked my foot hard.
Soaring columns of sand blew from behind.
clap.
I drew out the blade of Bifrost.
My pupils reflected on the ink-colored blade.
‘… … .’
The appearance of a complete monster.
Does not matter. I smiled and turned the blade of my sword.
“Aww!”
Freea closed her eyes tightly.
Right above it, the giant’s fist was descending.
<How much does the sword weigh?>
“Fifty million times.”
<Hahahaha! good night! Show the power of the Dragon King!>
Woo woo woo woo!
The ink-colored blade began to vibrate along with the afterimage.
A blurry black light leaked from the sword.
[Skill, ‘Black Sword’ activated!]
<Anyway, what a great sword. How can he not break even though he has increased his weight 50 million times?>
“I guess the creators made it awesome.”
<Khehehe! That’s funny.>
I stopped next to Freea.
clap. I held the sword hilt with both hands.
thud. She sunk her feet deep into the sand.
Then, I swung my sword with all my might towards the giant’s fist.
The shockwave spread in a circular shape.
followed by
bang!
The broken arm of the stone statue soared into the air.
Hundreds and thousands of debris bounced off like balls.
Ooh oh oh!
The huge body of the stone statue staggered away.
Patter.
Debris rose into the air and began to fall like rain.
I pushed back the bifrost.
“I-what is this…”
“One hundred million times.”
Woo woo woo!
The black light of Bifrost became clearer.
I pressed the button protruding from the hilt of the sword.
Clap!
There was a mechanical sound and the blade of the sword opened to the side.
in the form of a bayonet.
Bifrost, a U-class weapon,
Depending on the user’s characteristics, it evolves infinitely.
‘expansion.’
clap. Clap cluck clap clap.
The blade of the sword began to lengthen.
2 m. 3 m. 5 m. 10 m. 20 m. 30 m. 50 m.
And at 100m… … up to 200 m.
‘Originally, I can’t use this type of sword because of the center of gravity… … .’
It has nothing to do with me.
thud!
I stepped on the advance.
Sand splashed in all directions.
I grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and drew it sideways.
‘once.’
A large line was drawn in the air.
Before long, Bifrost’s ink-colored blade collided with the stone statue.
Kaga go!
A 100m long sword blade sparks,
He started cutting the upper body of the stone statue like cutting bread.
