Episode 189 〈 Role of bait 〉
“Saint!”
Seeing Ellis suddenly running away, Charlotte was agitated.
She hurriedly looked at some paladins and priests and said,
“Escort the saint!”
“All right.”
Priests and paladins rode on horseback and chased after Ellis.
Charlotte took a step forward.
“What’s going on?”
As the atmosphere was unusual, Hans, who was carrying luggage on a cart, asked.
“I’m trying to check now.”
The place Charlotte headed was in the forest where Allen was. A vacant lot
in the middle of the forest.
The paladins who had gone to deal with Allen were gathered.
However, Allen was not visible.
In the puddle of holy water, there was a wooden doll for camouflage, and in the hand of the paladins was a letter. Yes.
Looking at that, Charlotte wiped her face with mixed feelings.
As expected,
she could tell that Allen had left here to stop Shurt. She
also felt guilty, wondering if it was because she had said something unnecessary.
“This is an order from His Majesty the Holy Emperor.”
A holy knight held out a letter.
It was a letter near a pool of holy water.
Charlotte opened it and checked it.
The content was simple.
It said to take the refugees and return to the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom in order to waste as much time as possible.
At the end, it even said an order. “Order
, ”
Charlotte frowned,
“I’m sorry, but I can’t hear that.” She
folded the letter neatly.
She, too, was thinking of heading to where the Jotuns were.
Hans’ command would be enough for the refugees, and the army
would just have to be handed over to King Franz. At least if she were by Allen’s side, she could help him.
That was the time.
” Marquis Charlotte!”
The paladin sent as a scout hurriedly approached and shouted,
“Multiple vampires and 12 flame giants are approaching here!”
Jotuns different from Shurt were coming from a different direction.
Charlotte frowned.
The paladins flinched when they saw her expression, but gathered their composure and continued speaking.
“Now chase them to where the refugees are . “It’s coming. I think it’s probably planning to hold off until Shurt comes in.”
“Huh, vampire!”
The refugees screamed in fear.
Charlotte looked at the refugees.
Those who heard the story turned pale.
Everyone was gathering their bags. It would be another 30 minutes before we could leave.
Not the others, but the 12 Flame Giants. Even with King Franz at the helm, it was difficult to stop them.
In the end, Charlotte had to stop them.
Her hands tightened and she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“The protection of the people… comes first.”
“All right.”
The paladins nodded,
“Everyone hurry!”
The paladins shout out, and
the people say in fear,
“The vampires are coming!”
“Pack your bags quickly!”
The refugees were moving in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Lawrence also quickly got on the coach seat and held out his hand to Roy.
“Roy, get in now!”
“yes!”
Roy turned his head as he got into the carriage.
I felt something coming from the forest.
It’s an unpleasant and disgusting feeling.
I also felt dizzy due to the sudden thirst.
Roy’s eyes turned red for a moment.
**
The morning sun has already risen.
Shurt trembled as he watched the burning forest.
-I’ll kill you! I will burn your body, bind your soul, and make you experience eternal burning pain!
Shurt screamed in anger.
My ears went deaf.
The wide-open eyes were full of life.
The sight made me break into a cold sweat.
The temperature is so high that it’s difficult to even breathe, but it sends shivers down my spine and I feel like my body temperature is actually going down.
Oh my god, did I provoke you too much?
I had planned to attract attention and stop the advance, but I had no idea it would cause this much anger.
“It seems like you cared for your younger brother a lot. “But what can I do?”
I tapped Hrimr on the head.
Still, he turned his gaze to Shurt and laughed.
“Pullting one’s brains together runs in the family.”
-Shut up!
Schurt raised his whip.
A thick, burning whip floated in the air.
-Get crushed!
He wields a 70m long whip.
I quickly put Hrimr’s head into the item window.
I summoned the Bone Wyvern and flew into the sky.
The whip split the earth.
The forest was on fire, and flames spread to the left and right of the whip.
The ground was melted by the whip, gradually digging inwards.
In an instant, the land over 70 meters was split in half and melting.
Even though I flew up on the Bone Wyvern, my skin burned from the hot heat and I suffered burns.
“It’s hot!”
I felt annoyed.
He quickly summoned holy water and sprinkled it on his face and body.
My body has healed, but my breathing is difficult.
I’m going crazy. If you go near it, you’ll burn to death right away.
Hrimr was able to get relatively close, but Schuurt was different.
If you approach, you will burn to death without even being able to attack.
“It was the right answer for me to come.”
If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it.
Even if Charlotte were to deflect the attack just a moment ago, she would still be fatally injured by the heat.
Okay, let’s just take the time.
All I have to do is tie my feet for a day or two.
The bone wyvern flew in the opposite direction from where the refugees were.
– Chase him, drop him!
The Jotuns moved at Schuurt’s shout.
Thump thump thump!
The earth rumbles and the giants follow at a frightening speed.
It spits out flames with its rough breath.
It was a spectacular sight to see over 300 Jotuns running to catch me.
-I won’t miss it!
One of the Jotuns glared at me with a maniacal gaze.
He opened his mouth and vomited a lump of lava into his hand.
I grabbed it and curled up the corner of my mouth.
What is it?
-die!
The Jotuns sprayed lava into the air.
Hot liquid flies out.
I quickly summoned a bone shield to block the lava, but the bone shield melted.
I had no choice but to throw away my shield.
“Aren’t you crazy?”
This is the Bone Wyvern.
Although they cannot even be compared to horses in terms of speed, they are gradually catching up.
Plus long-distance attacks.
“Stop them!”
To fool the Jotuns, they flew low into the forest.
At the same time, he summoned the divine undead.
In the forest, hundreds of sacred undead screamed and raised various weapons.
-They are small bugs!
-Trample them all!
The flame giants waved their hands.
The sacred undead are trampled by their kicks.
The skeletons easily melted and disappeared.
bang-!
A gunshot rings out, and one of the flame giants explodes and flinches.
My shoulder was crushed and lava flowed out like blood.
The flame giant frowned and screamed. He threw away the spear in his hand.
The skeletons controlling the cannon were shattered and even the cannon slowly melted.
Hundreds of sacred undead couldn’t even give them a proper hit.
“As expected, it’s impossible to deal with those guys.”
While putting a strain on my body, I thought about summoning the White Bone King, Bone Dragon, or Metatron.
However, I didn’t have the confidence to deal with even the other 300 Flame Jotuns, even if it was just one Shurt.
There was no need to lose strength already since we had to take the time first.
but.
-Coooooooo!
A shadow fell over the flying bone wyvern.
I raised my head.
A Jotun that looks about 8 meters tall jumps.
He holds a flaming sword in his right hand and a blazing rock shield in his left.
I summoned a musket, pointed it at the guy, and pulled the trigger.
It is a holy power hastily created without chanting.
The power couldn’t have been good.
The Christmas bullet bounced off the Jotun’s shield.
As he struck down his sword, he summoned Avaldi’s Spear and swung it.
Tang-!
Blocked!
When you think…
The bone wyvern was unable to overcome its strength and fell to the ground.
The Jotun pushed the sword further with its mass and power. The wyvern I saw came out and was taken down on the ground.
thud!
The bone wyvern was shattered and I summoned a skeleton to the ground to support my feet.
-You blocked it?
Jotun let out a confused voice.
Increased sexual power and strengthened physical abilities.
Holy power enveloped Avaldi’s spear and shattered the Jotun sword.
-What power…!
I grabbed the musket with my left hand again and aimed it at the guy’s face.
This time it’s correct.
When I pulled the trigger, the Jotun’s head exploded.
The headless body falls backwards.
Behind the dead Jotun, about 300 Jotuns could be seen.
I’m going crazy!
As I quickly turned around and tried to run away, flames spread around the forest.
The escape route has disappeared.
As the terrain gradually became hotter, it became difficult to move my body.
Flame giants surrounded the surrounding area.
I stepped back, looking around at them.
There is no separate steam room.
Are these guys just trying to kill me?
-How dare a bug kill its own people!
-Don’t let your guard down. He’s the one who killed Hrimr.
-It’s a lie. It doesn’t look that strong.
Flame giants gather around.
how will we do it.
There is no way out.
After all, I have no choice but to overdo it. First of all, it took some time.
I took a breath.
I summoned holy water at my feet.
The waves spread out around the area and steam erupted as it touched the Jotuns’ feet.
-That’s cool!
-Do you think that water like this can extinguish our flames?
The flame giants snickered and laughed.
“No, that can’t be possible.”
Yes, laugh as much as you want. Because I’m not the one you’re dealing with.
-This…?
The flame giants noticed something strange.
A small piece of thin ice floating in holy water.
And the dismembered corpses of the ice giants led by Hrimr came to mind.
It comes together.
The arms and legs are connected to the torso and freeze.
The ice Jotuns that had become corpses in the holy water rose to their feet.
-Whoa…!
Those with ice armor and weapons spouting white frost from their mouths.
The Flame Jotuns were embarrassed and took a step back.
-Is that…?
-Brothers! how…?
Zombie Jotuns made using ice giants.
The ice Jotuns’ eyes flashed.
-Quoooooooo!
He bows his back, opens his mouth, and screams.
I cut up the corpses of the Ice Jotuns I had rescued from the Kingdom of Franz and stored them in the item window.
This is why we subdued them with as little damage as possible.
When the Ice Jotuns showed hostility, the Flame Jotuns were embarrassed.
-These guys are corpses!
-Do you dare to pollute your brother’s soul, bug!
The Flame Jotuns glared at me with anger.
“Kasim Nasus Rahamma.”
I summoned three beings around me.
Leaving them to guard me, I prepared to summon the White Bone King.
You can’t just watch and waste time.
If we inflict serious damage and escape through the siege, we can stop their advance.
With that thought in mind, he slammed Avaldi’s spear down on the ground and gathered holy power.
Amon’s skull was used.
A soft light is engraved in the holy water.
At that moment, I felt like something in my heart was out of sync.
“…?”
I tilted my head for a moment to confirm that there were no abnormal signs on my body, and then concentrated on summoning.
-What are they doing?
Shurt approaches slowly.
Raise the whip and swing it.
The ice giants collapsed in an instant.
-Hit him!
The flame giants also rush in.
The Ice Jotuns roared and fought back, and Kasim and Rahamma Nasus confronted them.
“I am a legionnaire.”
One of the flame giants lunged at me, panting.
Shoot him with a musket and take him down.
“Gaia’s…”
One of the flame giants came from behind, opening its mouth as if to devour me.
As I quickly turned and aimed my musket at the Jotun, whose mouth was open, I felt a familiar energy.
Something was running fast in the burning forest.
Jump through the flames and rotate your body.
“Whoa…”
A gasping sound.
A woman with flowing blonde hair and wearing gauntlets.
Ellis?
Ellis turned towards the Jotun that was running towards me and struck it down with her foot.
The Jotun’s head hit the floor and broke.
Surprised . When I looked at her face,
she looked at me and said,
“Go on!”
You really are a girl who can’t be stopped.
There’s always a time when you can stop her.
I took a breath and said the starting word,
“…the successor.”
** The sun
had set again before I knew it.
In the darkness that had come again, the sky shone with moonlight, and the ground shone with moonlight. It was brightly lit with the burning earth and soft waves of holy water.
Elise quietly opened her mouth.
A beautiful melody of a hymn flowed out.
The holy power was amplified according to the resonance.
“The White Bone King.”
Allen, wearing Amon’s skull, muttered.
The flame Jotuns who had defeated the ice giant looked at Ellis as if reacting to the sweet sound.
“Don, oh don, let’s do it.”
Shurt’s body froze as he witnessed the amazing sight.
He could feel it.
An all-too-familiar presence. A frighteningly
cold, cold aura that seemed to freeze even his soul.
The White Bone King with four arms stood up from the holy water.
– I am the king of death.
The White Bone King bent his spine. He
stretched out his hand and dipped it in holy water.
-Those who surrender to me can take that power.
What was taken out was not the golden sword, but the head of the ice giant Hrimr.
White Bone The king opened his jaw.
He put Hrymr’s head in his mouth and crushed it.
Frost began to form on the body of the White Bone King.
Ice armor appeared between the ribs.
Four arms pulled out spears made of ice from the holy water. .
-Who can defeat me, the conqueror?
The White Bone King glared at Shurt with his eyes flashing.
-Brother!
Shurt was startled.
He stepped back as if denying reality.
-Let’s become one!
White Bone King Frost spewed out from the king’s mouth.
