Chapter 65: The End of the Great Lord
"Kill this traitor!"
Dennis shouted as he pointed to Ballycalf, who was standing alone on the steps of the palace.
The soldiers who were driven by this order began to walk forward slowly, their palms clenching their spears oozing with sweat, and their steps seemed quite heavy, as if they were walking on the unpredictable battlefield of Shura.
Although the opponent is a battle-hardened veteran, after all, there is only one person, and it is not difficult to kill him, and this battle is definitely not a desperate struggle that requires you to risk your life. So where does the heaviness felt by the soldiers come from at this moment?
Since it doesn't come from the fear of death, there is only one answer. That is, the soldiers did not want to carry out this order. Indeed, most of the soldiers here had been trained by Balikaf, and there was a lot of respect for this upright and upright general who was not afraid of power.
Everyone knew that the so-called treason was nothing more than a crime imposed by the lord Delnis. However, no matter how reluctant he is, there is only one choice to obey the order, because if he disobeys the lord's order, not only himself but also his family will be executed.
I'm sorry, Shogun!
As if praying, the soldiers apologized in their hearts, and some of them had closed their eyes, but a low, sad voice came from their ears
"I'm sorry guys! Please forgive me! ”
Balikav was a stern general, and the expression on his face was almost always as hard as pig iron, but he choked up at the moment.
The soldiers in the front row stopped, and just as they were puzzled by Ballycalf's reaction, there were cries of terror from the troops behind them.
If you look down from the air, you can see bright red flowers blooming at the same time in different positions throughout the army. Of course, the so-called flower is just a metaphor, and its true face is bloody killing. Numerous human heads flew in the air, and large holes were pierced in their chests, and their bodies swayed to the ground and spurted a large amount of blood, centered on the creatures that suddenly emerged from the ground, and the soldiers around them were all turned into corpses before they could realize the danger. Blood spread rapidly with terrifying screams, and the red flowers continued to expand.
In this way, there were more than a hundred flesh and blood flowers blooming at the same time.
"W-what's going on?"
Delnis, looking at the sudden change of atmosphere around him, felt incredulous. The hundreds of unidentified creatures that appeared throughout the army had maintained their human appearance when they first appeared, but now they have all transformed into giant invulnerable spiders.
They spit out threads sharper than blades, easily splitting the armoured soldiers, and the smell of blood fills the air.
"Delnis!"
With a roar that threatened to tear his throat apart, Ballykav rushed at full speed toward Delnis, who was in the center of the army, and was struck by the lion-like form, and the soldiers along the way gave way.
"Collusion with monsters, Ballycalf, you despicable creature! You idiots! Quick, stop him for me! ”
Whether it was fear or anger, Delnis's finger at Balikaf trembled violently, and his voice was so sharp and badly distorted that it sounded like a boar's dying scream.
However, no matter how much Delnis shouted and jumped, none of the soldiers around him were willing to step forward to be his shield. Unstoppable, Balikav shot at Dernisa like an off-string bow, his long sword glittering with an icy glow that made Delnisa tremble.
"Die!"
Ballycalf leaped into the carriage and slashed his sword down Delnis's throat.
The pain, like a burning pain, ran through his chest, and the severed heart gushed out the last of the blood, making his limbs twitch.
Delnisa smiled slyly, and the sword that stabbed at him was blocked by a hand sticking out of the compartment of the carriage beneath his feet.
Blood poured from Balikaf's mouth, and he looked slowly into his chest, a sharp sword piercing his heart.
Stopping in front of Ballycalf and Delnis, he was a tall warrior in full armor, his eyes glowing red with mechanical and magical light.
That's the magic puppet!
"Hahahaha, it looks like I'm the one who won in the end! It's such a blessing to be able to buy this thing from the black market, and although it costs a lot of money, it looks much more reliable than those useless soldiers! ”
Delnis burst out laughing, the fat on his face shaking with his exaggerated facial expressions.
"Delnis!"
Ballycalf stared at Delnis, a blood-mixed hiss emanating from his throat, but his limbs began to lose strength.
"Father!"
Just as Ballycalf's heavy eyelids were about to close, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young warrior running towards him through the chaotic crowd.
Lanka, you're alive!
The sudden appearance of Aiko made Balikaf's heart feel extremely relieved, but he had already stepped into the realm of death, and he could not express his emotions through his voice.
Balikaf's lips twitched slightly, and he fell out of the carriage and hit the ground hard.
"No!"
Lanka stopped running and fell to his knees, letting out a heart-rending cry, while blood and limbs were flying in his wake.
"Haha, Lanka, you're just in time, I'll reunite you with your father right away!"
Dennis turned to a heartbroken Lanka and gave the order to the puppet. The golem jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Lanka with the sound of gear grinding.
However, the moment the puppet jumped out of the carriage, the entire carriage flew into the air with Delnis.
"How, how is it possible!"
Delnis, who was tumbling in the air with the massive carriage, was clearly unable to react to what was happening or why he was flying into the air.
You must know that the whole carriage is made of steel, and its weight is much heavier than that of ordinary carriages, and it takes great force to knock the carriage into the air.
The carriage that flew into the air fell violently, making a loud noise, causing the ground beneath his feet to shake violently. However, Delniss remained in the air, and of course he stayed in the air not because he could use magic, nor because he did not want to.
Four red spears pierced his limbs, pushing him into the air.
"Ahh
The pain was intense, causing Delnisa to scream.
The red spear that pierced Delniss came from a figure standing in the same place where the carriage had been. The red spear was four of the eight arthropods that grew out of his back, while the other four were supporting his body, keeping him in the air. His cheeks were obscured by his messy hair, but judging by his outfit, there was definitely nothing wrong with Ballycalf.
"Ba, Ballycalf, why didn't you die?"
Dernis, whose face was already covered with snot and tears, questioned in horror.
"In order to kill you, I have become a demon of hell, come, let's go to hell together!"
Ballycalf swung the four arthropods that pierced Delnis, slamming him to the ground. Although the fat on his body was thick, he still couldn't withstand such a violent impact, and the bones of Delnis's whole body were fractured, and the severe pain made him unable to breathe, and his legs were wet due to incontinence.
"Wait, wait a minute, let me go, as long as you let me go, I will definitely hand over everything......"
Delnisa cried and pleaded.
"It's pathetic, Delnis!"
Balikaf sneered in a contemptuous tone as he came to him, and then he raised the eight knuckles behind him.
Arthropods made up of hard exoskeletons with sharper tips than any weapon. The reason why Ballycalf, whose heart was cut in two, is still alive at the moment is because he has fused with the "command worm" in his body, and soon the "command worm" will destroy his brain and completely seize his body.
"Help, help!"
He let out a clear cry as the first arthropod stabbed into Dernis's stomach, but as the eight arthropods stabbed into his body almost frantically, his cries faded into a blur, until all that was left was the sound of a pile of minced flesh squeezing out blood.
A throttle fell, pulling out Delnis's widening eyes.
No, it shouldn't be like this, I, I'm the one who deserves everything in this country!
With resentment and unwillingness, the Grand Lord Delnis, who had controlled the Duchy of Basol for nearly twenty years, died, leaving only a disgusting pile of rotten flesh behind.
