Chapter 147: Saving People
However, this only lasted for a second. As if he didn't care about the ice thorns embedded deep in his flesh, the Knight continued to swing his right hand forward, and the ice restraints imposed on it were shattered by the terrifying brute force and scattered around. A great chill that he hadn't felt since his confrontation with Fanatheo jumped over Eugeo's back.
- Is it really human?
Although Lin Yiyan, who continued to chant at high speed while coughing up blood, was already extremely brave, the female knight was even above him. The body was first shattered by the indiscriminate attack of the beam, and then ruthlessly absorbed the destiny of heaven by the Ice Rose rooted in it, but it still did not fall - even with a single right hand, it was able to shatter the ice vines that immobilized the four of his men one by one.
The Heavenly Piercing Sword in her hand also slowly changed its angle, and little by little, little by little, it turned to the direction where Yugeo was, and Yugeo could only stare in horror at the tip of the sword that was about to point to this side. What is it that gives Fanatheus the strength to fight so far?
Is it a sense of obligation as an integrated knight who guards the law? Or is it a love affair with a man that has lasted for a hundred years? Or is it the one she mentioned not so long ago......
Fanatio said that if humanity loses the power of the Congregational Church now, the whole world will be ravaged by the armies of the Dark Territory.
So, it was for the sake of humanity—to protect the humans who, in Yugeo's impression, were supposed to be just scorned, insulted, and whipped by the Integrating Knights as animals, had the almost endless power she was fighting to the death?
In that case—isn't that what is called 'justice'? Is it true that the current Fanatio has given up his self, and only for the sake of justice and goodness, has he held the consciousness of practicing what he has to do, and has fought so far?
It shouldn't be like this. The so-called Knights of Integration are nothing more than minions of the High Priest Administrator who tied up and captured the innocent Alice, and even her memory was desecrated. They are hated enemies. Until now, Yugeo had this hatred for them, and was determined to kill them all as he could, and had come all the way here.
However, now, I have to tell myself - are the integration knights actually righteous people? This kind of thing...... How is that possible?!
"How could you...... How can you have such a thing as justice! Yugeo shouted in an uncontrollable voice, gathering the hostility that had surged wildly from the depths of his heart into the sword of the green rose. Around Fanatio, countless ice vines flew up again, and this time the vines turned into sharp thorns at the tips, one after the other piercing through the knight's right hand.
"Stop...... Give me a stop! Apparently his heart was tumbling with overwhelming hatred, but Eugeo's eyes were filled with warm liquid for some reason. However, Yugeo refused to admit that it was tears. Looking at Fanatiano, who was stubbornly not letting the movements of his right hand stop when he was pierced by countless ice thorns that had changed his form due to anger and hatred, Yugeo was reluctant to admit that his heart had been moved by that gesture.
Integrating the knight's arm is already miserable. The broken thorns pierced the arm like a needle, and the large amount of blood dripping from the wound also turned into a red ice ridge and hung down. However, the movement of the arm did not stop, and the Tianpiercing Sword, which was originally raised vertically, turned horizontal, and the tip of the sword pointed straight at Yugeo and Lin Yiyan.
With his eyes blurred with tears, Yugeo looked at the dazzling light that had never been emitted before from the sword of the Sky Piercing Sword. The pure white light, as if it had burned all the remaining destiny of Fanatheo, as if the sun god Thor himself had descended into this large corridor, made Yugeo's eyes narrow.
- Can't win. Now I can't win against that person. Looking at the clusters of Ice Briers that had just dissolved and collapsed in the light that had not yet been emitted, he could only sigh lightly.
However, you must not just close your eyes and wait for the light of death to come. In that case, it would be as if he had succumbed to Fanatheo's "justice", and such a thing would not have been allowed by Eugeo under any circumstances.
At least in the end, let your will be let go as a rose. Having made up his mind, Yugeo began to concentrate the dregs of hatred that had risen from the bottom of his heart in one point—and that was at this time. Beside him, Lin Yiyan, who didn't know when he finished chanting the technique, sighed softly, "You can't defeat that guy with hatred alone, Yugeo." ”
"Eh......" turned his head to look up, and a smile appeared on his partner's blood-soaked lips, "You didn't come all the way here because you simply hated the integration knight, did you?" It's because he wants to take Alice back and see her again...... Because you love her, that's why you're standing here now. This longing will definitely not be inferior to that guy's justice. Me too...... I also want to protect the people of this world, protect you, protect Alice, and that guy as well. So now, we definitely can't afford to lose to that guy...... Right, Eugeo? ”
Even though he was in a desperate situation, Lin Yiyan's voice was still steady. The black-clad swordsman, full of mystery, smiled and nodded again, then looked ahead. At this moment, the Heavenly Piercing Sword was probably the last and strongest beam of light, and it was launched.
No, it can't be described in terms of a beam of light, and it is like a huge light gun that burns everything and hits the two of them. It was the time of creation, in order to repel the god of darkness, Bekuta, the god of Thorth, the spirit of heaven cast by the god of heaven. Lin Yiyan suddenly opened his black eyes, and his eyes shone brightly in overwhelming willpower. In such a desperate situation, the sound of his last incantation was still full of unshakable determination.
“Enhance Armament!!”
Pointing directly at the sword body of the black sword in front of him, there was a pulsation of "dong". Then, from where the blade swung, several dark lines surged out. The pitch-black torrent, which seemed to devour all the light, jumped, twisted, sometimes intertwined, sometimes separated, and then gradually wound into a giant spear with a diameter of two people together, and continued to rush forward.
If you look closer, you will see that the sharp tip gradually hardens and tends to materialize, and the surface has an obsidian-like sheen. I've seen this texture before. It was the same tree that Yugeo had been cutting down with an axe every day more than two years ago. The original posture of the black sword, the Devil's Tree - Kigascida.
Seeing this, Yugeo finally understood the truth of the total domination technique launched by Lin Yiyan. Lin Yiyan awakened the dusty memory of the black sword through the technique, and let the proud posture that the latter once had—the giant tree that refused to be cut down reappear here. Although the shape and size are nowhere near as good as those of the time, the essence is exactly the same.
Hardness, sharpness, and overwhelming weight. Its very existence is enough to become the largest and strongest weapon.
At the moment when Yogeo's heart was beating violently, the tip of the pitch-black giant gun collided with the condensation of Sols' light. The blast wave that exploded shook the entire Grand Cloister—no, the entire Central Cathedral—violently.
With a high heat and high density of light that surpasses human imagination, even when it is blocked by the hardest tree, it does not stop rushing forward. However, the black sword in Lin Yiyan's hand continued to spew out countless wisps of darkness, blindly pushing the giant spear forward.
The Heavenly Piercing Sword held in Fanatio's hand had no intention of flinching. The frenzied rush of light grew stronger by the minute, and the seeping heat had dissolved the Ice Rose in front of Fanatheo, and even the armor on the knight's right hand was burned red, emitting white smoke.
In the center of the Grand Cloister, light and darkness clash fiercely and confront each other. However, this level of attack power conflicts with each other, and the final result will definitely not be completely canceled. There will always be one side that completely knocks back the other, and the remaining forces will be blasted to the ashes of the enemy who will be targeted.
In this duel, the one who is at a disadvantage is really Yi Yan.
No matter how hard Kigascida is, it is just a tree with a physical body, as if its main body collapsed after countless slashes, and if it withstood a force above the limit, it would inevitably be damaged and destroyed.
However, on the other hand, the Light of the Sky Piercing Sword is a pure heat block, with super attack power but no substance. How do you destroy such a thing?
Of course, the means of confrontation are not impossible. Like Yi Yan had done before, he could reflect it back with a mirror, or use the absolute chill from the sword of the green rose to cancel it out, but either way, he needed to have the power to compete with it. However, when it comes to the strength of Kigascida, there are only two points of unreasonable hardness and heaviness—
No, one more point.
And the fact that you can greedily absorb the light of the sun and become your own growth force-
With a loud sound that even the floor shook, the white light gun was torn into countless trickles, and it was Yi Yan's black giant tree that broke through the previous equilibrium and rushed forward again. Although the front branch was already burning brightly, the giant tree did not succumb to the flow of light, but blocked it, tore it apart, and rushed towards its source.
The light that had been split into radial shapes stabbed through the Great Corridor, melting the ice vines and causing countless small explosions. The four knights who were tied to the ground were also sent into the air one by one.
It was clear that a huge spear with such power was coming at him, but Fanadeo did not leave an inch. There was neither anger nor hatred on that beautiful face, but the eyes were quietly closed, and the corners of the mouth twitched slightly. What kind of emotions are contained in it, Ugeo is completely unable to decipher.
Finally, the sharp tip of the giant tree reached the source of the torrent of light, and accurately hit the sharp tip of the Sky Piercing Sword.
First of all, the silver-colored thin sword was bounced away in an instant, and the blade of the sword shimmered and swirled in the air, drawing a trajectory. Then, the knight's body was also thrown into the air with a violent momentum, and the purple armor fragments continued to scatter, and finally hit the ceiling in a straight line, and with a roar, the mural depicting the creation myth on the ceiling was also shattered.
In contrast, the process of falling seems slow. Fanateao's body fell like a marionette, falling heavily with countless marble shards, and landed in front of the gate at the back of the Grand Cloister, and the sound of "popping" was extremely heavy when it landed. At this point, the second-ranked integration knight can no longer stand up again.
The pitch-black spear thinned little by little, turning into a shadow and flowing back into the black sword held by Lin Yiyan. At first glance, the sword appears to have become slightly larger, as it had been in the past when it fought with Reyos, but it reverted back to its original size after absorbing all the shadows.
Ugeo looked ahead again, silently looking around at the traces of the fierce battle.
The previously dusty marble floors and walls have been melted and shattered everywhere, and they can no longer be seen in their original appearance. When the giant guns of darkness and light collided, they also left a deep trench in the ground in the center, making it seem strange that they did not penetrate the bottom of the stairs.
The 50th floor of the Central Cathedral is now in a tragic state, and if you tell others that such damage was only caused by a swordsman who was a student of the Sword Cultivation Academy two days ago, probably no one except those present would believe it.
- But we finally did it.
Ugeo sighed heartily. The Congregational Church, which has existed since the dawn of human society and rules the world with absolute authority, fought and won with five knights under its command.
In this way, nine integration knights have now been repulsed, counting from Elderliye. If Cardinal's words are true, there are only about twelve or thirteen integrated knights left behind in the cathedral. In other words, after that, only a few more Integrating Knights need to be knocked down......
Ugeo gritted his teeth. At the same time, beside him, Lin Yiyan snapped and fell to the ground on both knees. The black sword held in his right hand also fell to the ground with a heavy sound. Yugeo hurriedly lifted his hands away from the sword of the green rose, which was still stuck on the ground, and helped his partner, whose upper body was no longer able to support him, to his feet.
"Yi Yan!" The body that was hugged was amazingly light, making people dare not imagine how much blood had been lost before, and how much destiny and blood had passed together. Lin Yiyan's face was paler than the marble on the ground, his eyelids were tightly closed, and he didn't move at all. Yugeo quickly scanned Lin Yiyan's body, and then placed his left hand on the deepest wound under his right chest.
“System Call! Generate Luminous Element!” The three light elements generated agglutinate at the wound and turn into healing power with the subsequent procedure. After judging that the charred wound was beginning to heal gradually, Yugeo removed his hand and proceeded to do the same for the wound on his left shoulder. The light element, which originally consumed a lot of spatial divine power to generate, needed a catalyst such as the Holy Flower Bead, but now it doesn't need that. The Mandate of Heaven that the Sword of the Green Rose had absorbed from the five knights had now turned into divine power and floated in the air around it.
In this way, it should be possible to prevent the continuous loss of the Mandate caused by the damage to important parts, but the Mandate of Heaven, which had been drastically reduced before, could not be cured by the Light Elemental Divine Technique to the extent that Yugio was within his power. Without hesitation, he grabbed Lin Yiyan's right hand with his left hand and began to chant the new technique.
“System Call! Transfer Durability, Self to Left!” Blue light particles enveloped Yugeo's entire body, then concentrated on his left hand, flowing towards Yi Yan's body. The technique of moving the mandate of heaven from one person to another is more effective than a simple statement.
In retrospect, whether it was the battle with Desorubat or this battle, Lin Yiyan was the only one who was seriously injured, and Yugeo himself did not even have a reduced mandate of heaven. Thinking about it this way, a painless transfer of destiny like this is not enough to repay the favor at all.
In his own feelings, after almost half of the Heavenly Destiny flowed into Lin Yiyan's body, the latter finally opened his eyes, and then immediately grabbed Yugeo's hand with his left hand and removed it from his body.
“…… Thank you, Eugeo. I'm fine. ”
"Don't be reckless, if you stop now, there will definitely be internal injuries that can't be seen from the state window......"
"It's already so much better than when I was slashed by those goblins, and I'm more worried about that guy than this......"
When he noticed that Lin Yiyan's black pupils were staring at Fanatio, who was far away on the other side of the corridor, Yugeo subconsciously bit his lip, "...... Yi Yan...... The guy ...... But I'm going to kill you......"
At the same time, the lines that Lin Yiyan said before the liberation of the Total Domination Technique awakened in Yugeo's ears.
"Words of abhorrence alone can't win her...... Yi Yan: That's what you said. Probably, it is. The integration knight didn't fight for low-level reasons such as personal resentment and hatred...... But...... But I, ah, still can't forgive the church and the integration knights. Since it is not only incomparably powerful, but also has that ...... If you have such lofty aspirations, why can't you put your strength to ...... Used in ......"
Yugeo, who didn't know what to say next, fell into a speech jam for a while, but he staggered to his feet, and Lin Yiyan, who picked up the sword from the ground, nodded with a look of understanding.
"Even those guys probably have their own confusion. I guess if I see the guys who are knights, I can understand them a little more...... You're remarkably mastery, Eugeo. You have overcome the knights by your own strength. So, there's no need for you to hate Fanatheo and the Four-Wheeled Sword, who are also humans......"
"Human ...... Not...... Truly. I did understand this when I fought them. Those guys are human too, and that's why they're ......so strong," Yugeo mused.
