Chapter 197: Last Resort
- And yet, I ......
Losing to the temptation of Adinistratr, he was sealed with his memories sealed and drew his sword against Yi Yan as an integrated knight. Finally regained consciousness, returned to the top before locking Yi Yan and Alice with ice, and tried to defeat the High Priest alone, but failed to do so. He was already dazzled by the spell in the battle with the elder Chuderkin, and he could only witness the tragedy when the Colossus of the Sword slashed Shamil, Yi Yan, and Alice.
- Am I so powerless?
- Alice's memory fragment should be no more than ten miles away...... Somewhere in the delicate picture scroll on the ceiling. However, I have not been able to regain this fragment, and I will have to rely on Ardinal's self-sacrifice to save my life and be driven out of this cathedral? Is this the end of my journey?
The High Priest must have thrown Yugeo, Yi Yan, and Alice into a distant place. And the end of this flight is by no means limited to the Northern Empire of Nolan Gals. In the worst-case scenario, maybe you will never see Yi Yan again, and you will not be able to return to Lulid. Alone in a strange foreign land, with the fear of tracking the Congregational Church...... and the remorse for one's own stupidity and powerlessness to live......
At least don't close your eyes and stare desperately at the dazzling lightning that hits Ardinal's body. Just as he thought about this—
Eugeo finally noticed. Honestly accept the sentence of exile in a foreign land...... This is the most sinful choice. The High Priest said that he would turn half of the people living in the human realm, a total of 40,000 people, into swords. She intends to mass-create the terrifying and sad monster to fight the legions of the Dark Realm.
This means that all family members and lovers will be forcibly separated, just like Elderliye's and his mother, Desorubat and his partner, and Alice and Bass Berk's family. Then they will all be transformed into the ugly and terrible weapons. Such cruelty is absolutely unforgivable.
- To put an end to this tragedy is the final mission entrusted to me. That's why I'm standing here today. Although he does not have the sword skills of Yi Yan or Alice, nor does he have the power of divine magic like Ardinal...... But, there must be something I can do. Instead of spending your time lamenting your own powerlessness, look for ways to fight.
Eugeo froze, thinking desperately.
Half of the Sword of the Green Rose is forged from ice, and it may be able to break through the barriers that block all metal, but even if it falls to the High Priest without any strategy, it will only end up being burned by lightning or hacked to death by the Colossus of the Sword. The same is probably true for the Memory Liberation Technique, which only gives Adinistratr a slight pause in his movements.
If you destroy the Colossus of the Sword first, the attack will not be able to reach the Divine Module located on the chest, which is its only weakness. Even if it does, it must correctly penetrate the gap of less than a den between the three great swords that make up the spine. Moreover, it is necessary to break through the attack of the blade at the ribs first. To make this possible, the High Priest is required to be able to fly through the sky, and armor strong enough to flick through sharp blades.
Or, like the green rose and the memory of eternal ice that I once glimpsed in the large library, turn your body into ice and become one with the sword. Enough to withstand lightning and flames...... The hardness that no blade can hurt.
This moment. Giorbio's eyes widened. There are ways to make this wish come true. There must be. However, even if it could be realized, it would still require something else. That's the same power as the colossus that drives the sword. Triggered by the Memory Liberation Technique, the power of miracles.
Suddenly, Yugeo seemed to hear - a voice calling his name. He held his breath and looked at the ceiling of the room. The gods who created the sky and the earth of the human world.
The ancient people who lived here thanks to it. Eventually, the gods chose a shrine maiden from among them and gave them the task of guiding humanity in their place. This was followed by the Congregational Church, which erected a white marble tower in the center of Santoria.
This is the same account of Genesis that Eugeo read in a corner of the large library. However, these are probably just fictional stories. This is the story created by the High Priest Adinistratr in order to dominate humanity.
In the corner of the ceiling, which is full of hypocrisy, a small bird is delicately drawn. With an ear of wheat in its mouth, it flew desperately in the air. It is a painting of a little blue bird who stole ears of wheat from the fields around the central capital, which was strictly managed by the great nobles, and brought them to the border, and eventually died. Maybe this is the only thing that has ever existed, but now that I think about it, it's just a fairy tale.
The crystal embedded in the bird's eye glowed blue. In the past, that brilliance had always existed with Ugeo. It was a lively and shining light in the eyes of a blonde girl about his age—
Then, Eugeo finally realized the mission he had given him.
………
Geo ...... What the hell are you going to do. Lin Yiyan thought like this and turned his gaze. A young man with flaxen hair, Lin Yiyan's unique best friend, Ayn Grant Swordsman Yugeo, looked at Lin Yiyan for a moment, smiled and nodded. Then he looked back into Ardinal's eyes and said something like, "Ms. Ardinal." Please turn the rest of your power into a sword, and turn me, my body, into a sword. Just like that doll. ”
Is it because of this sentence that I have regained consciousness?
Ardinal's eyes, which had almost lost their brilliance, widened.
Geo ...... You......
"If we run away from here...... Adinistratr will turn half of the humanity in this world into that terrible monster. This must not be allowed to happen. The last possibility to prevent this tragedy is in this procedure......"
As if aware of everything, Eugeo smiled transparently, took Ardinal's left hand with both hands, and began to chant in a faint voice, "Systeall...... ReverePrtetin.”
The technique that Lin Yiyan heard for the first time. After saying this, Yugeo gently closed his lips and eyelids. Immediately after, from his smooth forehead, a purple light as complex as a circuit appeared. As soon as I looked at it, the light spread from my cheeks through my neck to my shoulders, arms, and fingertips.
The circuit of light dipped slightly into Ardinal's left hand, which was holding both hands with Eugeo, and then the front glowed as if waiting for a command. Remove Core Protection –
In this sense, Ugeo has now given ardinal unlimited access to his FlutLight. I don't know why he knew about it, but at least those three words are full of Eugeo's determination and awareness.
The dying sage, who had received the order, opened his unharmed left eye and his burnt right eye widely, his lips trembling. Thoughts fluctuate like a whisper, and they come through the skin they touch: Is this good...... Eugeo. I don't know...... Can...... Restore the way it was.
Yugeo, who had a path of light on his forehead and cheeks, nodded deeply with his eyes closed, "It's okay." That's my mission...... That's why I'm standing here now. Yes, finally, Ms. Dinal...... Also, Yi Yan, Alice. Metal weapons have no effect on the High Priest. So, I couldn't stab her with that dagger. ”
“……!” Hearing Yugeo's faint voice, Lin Yiyan and Alice both gasped.
Ardinal, however, was not surprised—or probably not even had the strength to do so—and winked and nodded in response. Yugeo shook his head slightly again and continued, "Come on, hurry up...... Before Adinistratr noticed. ”
“…… No, stop, Yogeo. Lin Yiyan moved his dry mouth, and finally said this sentence. Even if he wins this battle, Yugeo won't be able to change his human form again. He has hidden expectations deep in his heart during these eight years...... The hope of reclaiming Alice and returning to Loulid's village with her will never be fulfilled again.
The only people in this world who can perform the ultra-high-level divine art of transforming human flesh into weapons are Adinistratr and ardinal. One of them is the ultimate enemy, and the other is now on the verge of death. In other words, even if he got rid of his current predicament, there was probably no warlock who could turn him back into human form.
Yugeo, who was dyed with purple light bands, looked at the ceiling, and then nodded to Lin Yiyan, who still wanted to say something, "It's okay, Yi Yan." That's what I have to do. ”
“…………!” Faced with the determination of his best friend, Lin Yiyan was speechless.
That's right, what can I say now? What can I say when I am penetrated into the bone marrow by the only defeat, and I can't even swing my sword, let alone take a single step. Lin Yiyan looked at Alice next to him with a heavy heart.
The knight's blue eyes were as respectful as pain. Then Alice hung her head deeply—towards the sinner who had struck him with her sword with no change of expression in the lecture hall of the academy no more than two days ago. In my arms, which bit my lip out of blood in silence, Ardinal, with his eyes open, nodded deeply.
Well, Eugeo. The last operation of my life ...... Give it to your will.
Like the last bright light from a candle that was about to be extinguished, a clear voice sounded in Lin Yiyan's consciousness. The brown eyes opened suddenly, and there was a purple light in them. The countless circuits connected to Ardinal's hand ignited with a strong brilliance. In an instant, the light rose along Eugeo's body, reaching the pattern on his forehead and overflowing, turning into a pillar of light that reached the ceiling.
"What are you ...... for!" Adinistratr, who was looking at him from afar, shouted out with an intoxicated expression. The afterglow of victory vanished in an instant, the silver pupils widened, and the Dominator shouted angrily, "What were you doing before you died!!" ”
