Blade-like wings headed down.
It headed to his head.
Its force tried to smash Ga?l’s head at once.
Because it seemed to her that it was an attack that could not be blocked or avoided.
And her judgment was not wrong.
Most Royal Guard Knights would have no choice but to be hit by such an attack.
But Ga?l was different.
The sword of wind he learned did not allow it.
Do not block. Do not avoid.
Like a breeze and not like a gale.
An instantaneous change of position and wrist movement, a skillful adjustment of the angle of his sword, and a sword move peculiar to the sword of wind that allowed his power to flow.
All of that combined saved Ga?l’s life.
Saluzia’s attack hit the ground instead of splitting Ga?l’s body.
But that was it. Ga?l dodged the attack with all his power, and in that short moment, he lost all his strength and became defenseless.
It was a very short time, but it was enough time for Saluzia.
Saluzia’s hand moved.
It wasn’t a simple push, but a sharp attack that would cut and tear Ga?l’s chest.
Ga?l escaped death again, but a scream erupted from Adelia’s mouth.
He was hit and fell to the ground. Ga?l’s left arm was torn off and rolled over the ground.
Adelia dashed towards him.
In that situation, her reason was gone, but her combat experience gave her the correct answer.
She made use of other magic spells instead of ones that could cut or destroy the wings.
The earth rapidly soared and pushed Saluzia away as Adelia pulled his right hand. Instead of attacking Saluzia, she moved the ground and pulled Ga?l towards her.
Saluzia was not flustered.
She spread out her wings as she soared and swung her arms towards Ga?l and Adelia. At that moment, dozens of magic spears were launched at the same time they were created.
A literal bombardment.
Ga?l clenched his teeth and swung his sword.
He couldn’t properly control his body due to the shock of his arm being ripped off, so he shot a surprisingly fast and strong aura blade that he had created in a moment.
The aura blade and magic spears collided.
It exploded, and as Adelia flung herself at Ga?l, she stretched out her arms to cast a shield.
The magic spears did not only point to the two. It poured down like rain towards the wizards of the Royal Guard Magic Corps and the Royal Guards, and the front line collapsed in an instant.
This was the power of a high-ranking demonic human.
Saluzia once again spread out her four wings.
She looked down at Ga?l and Adelia wriggling like worms under the shattered shield.
And she widely smiled.
She knew who the two were.
Because she already knew that they were the older sister and brother of the two children who interrupted her in everything.
‘It’s just the beginning.’
What would happen if the Lord Protector destroyed the barrier tonight?
It would be the beginning of the real plan prepared by Saluzia herself and Koros that would bring about the ruin of the S?len Kingdom.
Then your younger siblings.
A rain of magic spears poured down at the flap of her wings. Adelia’s mana flowed back in the aftermath of the shield’s destruction, so she could not use her magic, and Ga?l had to choose.
Would he escape alone, or would he save Adelia?
His body naturally moved.
Ga?l put all of his spare strength behind his back and hugged Adelia.
Adelia said, and Ga?l gently smiled as he stared at Adelia. Magic spears poured on Ga?l’s back.
Ga?l lost the light in his eyes.
But it was hopeless. Ga?l’s body collapsed. When the magic spears disappeared, his blood endlessly flowed all over the place.
Adelia’s hands that groped Ga?l’s back turned red. Tears fell down from her eyes without end.
Although he was still breathing, his injuries were severe that it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime.
Adelia stood up and screamed as her mana exploded. The invisible force became fierce blades of wind as it swept towards Saluzia.
Her power was definitely great, but even if she was in control of it, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to Saluzia.
Saluzia wouldn’t be hit by an attack that was recklessly shot like that.
Her four wings crushed all the waves of magic power that Adelia let out.
And in a few seconds.
Having exhausted all her strength, Adelia fell on her knees. Her trembling hands fell on top of Ga?l, and she was unable to lift her hands anymore.
Saluzia smiled as she gazed at those two. She imagined the future of Jude and Cordelia in the figures of the two.
I’ll at least let you two go together without pain.
Saluzia moved her hand. She finally fired a magic spear towards the lightly trembling and powerless Adelia.
Just when the magic spear left Saluzia.
The whole place – no, the world literally shook.
It was a moment, but all the magic spells in the area were nullified.
The one who made it that way.
A person who could exert that much power.
Saluzia looked up in a hurry.
Above the city walls.
Powerful magic fluctuated.
No, it wasn’t just strong.
It was a power that instinctively caused fear.
Magic that put an end to everything like death.
A voice mixed with hate that seemed to tightly grip one’s heart.
A person rode on top of a Phantom Steed with green eyes.
He saw the groaning Adelia and Ga?l under her as he lost his warmth. He saw the Royal Guard Magic Corps and the Royal Guards. He captured in his eyes the demon followers and the burning royal capital.
When his cold anger made everyone freeze.
Velkian let out his power.
The green aura of death covered the night sky.
Koros raised his head.
The immense power let out from far away made him turn that way.
At the northwest direction.
At the direction where Saluzia was.
At the western sky that turned green, Koros figured out one fact. That was why he felt fear and anxiety at the same time.
A being who could threaten even her, a high-ranking demonic human.
Koros clenched his fist. He strengthened his legs as he tried to head where Saluzia was.
And the gap he made when he did that.
The woman did not turn her gaze in the midst of the western sky shaking, and she did not miss the gap because she was only focused on her fight against Koros.
Seven-Killings Sword.
Seven killing strikes.
Seryu’s sword gave off a sharp light.
Scarlet felt the limit of her stamina.
Her whole body was covered in sweat, and her breathing was rough. Her arm that held her sword fell down.
In the first place, her stamina and endurance were her weaknesses.
She only had one body, but there were so many enemies that she had to fight against.
Behind Scarlet was a dead end with people crying or swallowing screams.
Some of them were quite strong people, but they couldn’t do anything. It was impossible to attack zombies with their bare hands.
She consciously exhaled and stared straight ahead.
There were only around 30 zombies in front of her right now.
And what will happen to the rest of the people behind me if I fall down while blocking the zombies?
They will all become zombies.
Then, is there really a need for me to fight with my life here?
They’re going to become a zombie anyway, right?
It was not too late yet. If she was alone, she could pull herself out.
She could ignore the people who were complete strangers to her.
It was so hard that she might die, but she still stayed.
Even if she died, she wouldn’t do something like pulling out. She never really thought of herself as having a sense of justice, but she couldn’t imagine herself running away from here.
Yes, the Rogue Master.
The Rogue Master of this world wouldn’t escape just because she was afraid of the zombie hordes.
Scarlet grinned and pushed herself up. She put into her view the entire horde of zombies in order to achieve the maximum effect with minimal movement.
It was possible if she took advantage of the characteristics of her whip sword and deal as much damage to as many as possible.
She didn’t know what would happen then if more zombies came from behind the current ones, but she thought that she could somehow wipe out the ones in front of her.
‘This is your job, Royal Guards.’
Scarlet swallowed her last complaint and fiercely glared. At the same time she held her breath and kicked the ground.
She greatly swung her whip sword as her first move. The whip sword with her orange aura ferociously struck and tore the necks of the zombies in the lead, and she did not stop. She penetrated into the center of the zombies and rotated her body as if she was dancing.
The third and fourth moves were done in succession.
Every time the whip sword struck, at least five or six zombies were killed. Their heads rolled on the floor, and dark red blood covered the air.
In her fifth move, the blade of her whip sword broke. She struggled for air. Her legs suddenly weakened, and she fell to her knees. The hand holding her whip sword trembled.
The limit of her stamina.
An area beyond the control of her willpower.
But there were still some zombies remaining. They rushed towards Scarlet, and she roughly breathed. She tried to swing her whip sword somehow, but it was impossible.
I’ll be dying . But why is Pink Bomb’s face the one that comes to my mind at this moment? It would be nice if it was a handsome man’s face. I’ll be angry if Jude’s face is the one that comes to my mind though.
Scarlet glared at the zombies, erasing the useless thoughts that popped up in her mind at the moment of her death. Before she knew it, the number of zombies gathered around her were in the dozens, but she did not close her eyes in fear.
As a Rogue Master, she bravely faced her death.
And thus, she was able to see it.
The golden aura blade that swept.
A man with a sword that shone like the sun slowly walked towards the zombies.
It could only be described that way even though it was swordsmanship. Every time the man swung his sword, the zombies around him were wiped out.
But his movements weren’t rough.
The man walked so naturally and lightly as if he was taking a stroll.
Scarlet collapsed on the ground and looked up at the man’s face who had suddenly come right in front of her.
He was so handsome that the expression ‘excessive’ was appropriate. He had a gorgeous golden blonde hair and a fair complexion. His blue eyes were like gems. His presence made one feel as if they were facing the sun and not a person.
Scarlet had seen this man for the first time. But she could immediately recall this man’s name.
‘Maximilian de Avis.’
A man called ‘god’s mistake’ because he was so perfect.
He looked at Scarlet. And gently smiled.
