Chapter 62: For the sake of lost memories
Chapter 62: For the sake of lost memories
Tak tak tak!
There was the sound of bones bumping into each other. The sound of moving undead and skeletons made of human bones or bones of other races and monsters.
Next to them were zombies with incompletely rotten flesh. There was a headless knight Durahan and a corpse golem that had grown in size by randomly stitching various corpses.
-Shaaaah!
Evil spirits flew through the air with a strange sound. The ambient temperature dropped due to the chill of the spirit. The grass froze in the energy of death and the flowers withered instantly.
Bang!
Ivan swung his spear and smashed a zombie that came close. Rotten flesh burst, and a disgusting smell spread. He called a storm and blew it away.
Whi-ing!
A blade-like wind engulfed the body and shredded the bones. The flames that followed his gaze set the evil spirits on fire.
Then the laughter of the goblin was heard again.
-Kikikiki!
It was a somewhat playful laugh and made people angry. Following the sound, the demons magical power fluctuated. And suddenly, the darkness in the forest moved and rose sharply.
Shh!
Ivan tilted his head. A blade protruding from the floor brushed past his right cheek.
Illusion?
There was no wound even though the blade passed by. The blade that came out suddenly without any warning was an illusion with no substance.
Even though Ivan recognized it at a glance, he couldnt help but wince. Of all things, its on his right side. He had lost his eye once, so he reacted sensitively to anything that came this way.
No, is it supposed to be an attack?
It was not just a virtual vision but a mental attack. It made the victim realize that their weakness was being attacked.
If Ivan had always thought that his left ankle was his weakness, not his right eye, he would have had a vision of aiming at it.
It was a structure in which the victim had no choice but to react unconditionally. Truly a demonic trick to dig deep into the mind and pierce through the gaps. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
Even Ivan, who had a fairly strong resistance to this kind of mental attack, flinched. So even if he is only a goblin, its still a servant of the demon realm, and Ivan could not lower his guard.
Light!
As Delfino shouted loudly, the darkness receded. A divine light erupted from above his head, purifying the undead and erasing evil energy.
-Kiieeek!
The goblins shouted displeasedly. It seems that they cant pierce through the sacred veil of light and play tricks on the party. Their ability was like a demon, but there was a limit for a small demon.
Whoa!
The Paladins of the Kundara Temple lit a fire. The goblin screamed in agony when the divine torch that slain the demon and burned the wicked appeared.
-Karakeuk, shaak!
They mumbled something, but all Ivan could hear was a deafening noise. He could understand almost any language, but he didnt even know what they were saying.
Piuung-.
Irene fired an arrow. She grasped the location of the enemy hiding in the dark and pierced his body at once. With the power of the spirit, the goblins body was crushed and exploded.
They left no blood or flesh. He turned into black smoke and disappeared. Demons that appeared in the physical world were usually like this. The main body was left in the Demon Realm, and only a portion appeared and disappeared like a clone.
Is it over?
Seeing that he disappeared so easily, Ferocious Tooth asked him curiously. Hearing the magic word, Ivan suddenly became wary of the surroundings, but the presence of the goblin was not felt again. It really looked like he had returned to the demon realm.
Its more boring than I thought.
Ferocious Tooth swung the sword in the air as if regretting when the situation ended before can cut off a few undead. Looking at it, Delfino shook his head.
Its because of our compatibility. Were optimized to fight these evil people.
The exorcist priest and the Knights Templar were together.
It was natural to deal with minor undead and goblins easily.
We have to remember that were not the only ones they attacked. Theres no guarantee that the other side would have it easy.
Irene said as she jumped off the tree.
If the enemies were strong enough to overwhelm us all, theres no need for them to separate us like this. It means they also split up. As the attack on our side is weak, the other side will be more fierce.
She frowned and looked somewhere. She looked worried about her people, who were fighting in the forest, scattered here and there.
Irene kept her distance without talking to the other elves, but that was because she was a Guardian who left the forest for herself and chose solitude.
She had a stronger heart for her people than anyone else.
We are separated from the elves. Its not good.
As the space distorted and the party torn apart, she gathered around those close to her. So, Delfino, Ferocious Tooth, and Irene, who were with Ivan from the beginning, were in the same group, but she was completely separated from the Fairy Legion. And only five priests of the Kundara Temple remained.
We have to move quickly and join the others.
Delfino said so, but Irene shook her head.
It will be difficult. Weve already entered the opponents realm. They wont let us gather together.
Ivan glanced at the forest with a glance. He seemed calm at first glance, but thats not true at all. Even now, the space was constantly twisting, and the forest was moving around.
There is only one thing that I can tell where to go now. The center. They cannot twist the place where the nucleus is.
There was no point in wandering around to find their colleagues. They should rather go to the center of the barrier and pray to meet the others there.
They had to move as quickly as possible if they didnt want to be left alone.
In fact, they were in a more dangerous situation than the fairy legion. They were in a state of exhaustion from the forced march. Rather than worrying about the fairy legion, its better to take care of their own lives.
Lets go. The center of the barrier is over there.
Ivan acted as a guide by maximizing the abilities of a wizard and ranger. He broke through the twisted space and headed for the center of the barrier, the old ruins.
The undead occasionally attacked them, but the road was surprisingly smooth.
If we have it easy like this, how is the situation on the other side going?
Ivan could guess that the priests of the Kundara Temple and the Fairy Legion were suffering greatly.
If the enemy is doing everything to stop them, is he ignoring Ivans party? Or maybe there are other traps? In that silence, they continued to move forward.
Gooo!
When Ivan, who was leading the party in the front, suddenly raised his hand, everyone stopped on the spot. Then they lowered their postures and looked around.
Delphino and Ferocious Tooth pointed somewhere. There was a man who was exhausted and was exhaling harsh breaths.
Whoo, huh huh! Haaa
There was a big wound on his side, and blood was dripping out. He sat leaning against a tree in that state.
A paladin of the Kundara Temple wearing armor that was dirty and broken.
Seeing him, the party immediately flinched. The priests of the Kundara Temple tried to run to him immediately, but Delfino caught them. Rather, he looked at Ivan with calm eyes. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
Anyone else around?
No.
Are there any corpses or traces of battle?
I cant see it.
At those words, Delfino nodded his head as if he knew it.
Its a trap.
It was very common for the enemy to use their allies as bait to create traps. Delfino, who had been fighting demon worshipers all her life, was accustomed to that.
He experienced evil things that ordinary people could not even imagine. This kind of thing was common.
As the party was vigilant and did not approach him, the paladin, holding his breath, raised his head.
Everyone in the party looked at his face. Their expressions hardened because they realized he was a paladin who was with Pierre Lorraine. They thought he was already dead.
He, help!
He cried out in a hoarse voice, but no one moved. Instead, Ivan threw the spear.
Shh!
Tuk!
Ugh!
The spear thrown by Ivan pierced the paladins chest and stuck into a tree. He moaned loudly and dropped his head.
Ivan, who saw it, said with a snort.
Stop acting. It feels dirty.
At those words, the neck of the paladin, who had his head pinned down as if he had died, moved. The corners of his pale lips rose strangely, and he smiled.
Didnt you come to rescue me? Maybe because youre a barbarian, you dont even recognize your comrades, Norse warrior.
At his sneering words, Ivan responded coldly.
Youve been beaten once, yet you havent come to your senses.
What?
How is your side? Have you recovered from my spear?
Delfinos expression also hardened terribly as the warlock covered in the paladins skin shut his mouth. Because he knew what Ivan meant.
It was clear that the warlock was the one he had missed in the Roman Kingdom. He is someone who must take revenge with his own hands.
Whoops!
Flames rose from the paladins body, which was rapidly losing its vitality and rotting. Before the paladins body became unsightly, Ivan burned it away.
Whooosh!
Delfino took out an old necklace from his arms and held it in his hand. And he asked Ivan. (TN: the necklace from his old senior, Matthias)
Did you find it?
Ivan was never one to talk to his enemies for nothing. If he took his time without taking care of it at once, there must have been a reason.
Of course.
Im not going to miss it this time. Where is he?
Over there. Hes guarding the ruins.
As Ivan pointed in a certain direction, Delfino rolled up his sleeves. The scars on his forearm, which he couldnt erase even with his strong divine power, were clearly exposed.
That
Ivan frowned slightly and spoke his words, but Delfino stopped him.
Its all right. There is also the life orb.
His eyes were cold, but Ivan could feel his anger. He couldnt stop him.
Then I will guide you.
As Ivan stepped forward, Ferocious Tooth, who was guarding, took over the side. The paladins of the Kundara Temple, who swallowed their anger, were also with them. Irene climbed the tree and started running.
Chararak!
Delfino pulled out his dagger and cut his forearm. He sacrificed his own blood and summoned the power of divine light.
Whooo!
The sun that had disappeared rose again. The night became day. With that bright vision, they could see an old castle. Delfino said while glaring at it.
Please open the way. I will finish it properly this time.
