Episode 126 〈Guardian of the Tomb〉
A loud noise rings out and black smoke spews out.
A huge meteorite with an ugly red glow twisted and fell into the cracked space.
Even Metatron, who was 20 meters tall, seemed small and shabby compared to the meteorite.
Metatron’s eyes lit up.
Is this magic?
Is this the power that a human being can act on?
Metatron quickly turned around.
I changed my goal.
If it falls, the tomb of Holy Emperor Ordin will be shattered in its wake.
‘Can you stop it?’
Metatron further compressed the condensed mass of sacred power between his hands.
‘No, nothing is impossible for an archangel.’
A legendary Noble Phantasm created by 12,000 priests.
archangel.
Since he was ordered to guard the tomb, nothing is impossible for him.
‘I’ll show you a miracle from God.’
Metatron, who was large in the heat and waves of the falling meteorite, became heavy as if he was under the influence of gravity.
Force your body to move.
‘Prosperous Ordin.’
Metatron spewed out a lump of condensed sacred power held in his hand towards the meteorite that had been summoned after distorting the dimension.
‘The order you gave.’
A lump of condensed sacred power collided with a meteorite.
‘I will complete the mission.’
Norman, Hans, Ellis, and Allen watched.
Meteor is definitely a threat.
If that thing fell, they wouldn’t be safe either.
But rather than running away, I watched with fascination.
The reason was sufficient.
Because Metatron was pushing the meteorite.
“Nonsense.”
Queen Rox muttered in fascination.
It is a meteor with enough power to blow up a city.
The archangel was blocking it.
If this continues, the meteorite will enter a twisted dimension.
No, it’s not just that.
The meteorite breaks apart.
The concentrated mass of sacred power pierced the exact center of the meteorite,
breaking into pieces and exploding.
Pieces of meteorites fall everywhere.
It falls all over the temple and sparks bloom everywhere.
-Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
?
For Metallon, who was unable to breathe, the gears took over his role.
This is okay.
If the tomb is not completely destroyed, it can be miraculously restored by God’s letters.
so.
Metatron’s gaze turned to the intruders.
We had to get rid of them quickly.
Or the movement is halted due to a surge of power….
“Now is the time.”
Allen raises his head.
“Through this.”
Metatron quickly looked around.
“The game has been decided.”
Flames swirled from the mouth of the Bone Dragon behind its back.
-Those who have the same power but serve different masters.
The White Bone King’s four bone hands grabbed the sword.
Metatron hesitates and takes a step back.
-I will give you rest.
The Bone Dragon swung the flames and the White Bone King swung his sword.
**
Allen looked at Queen Rox.
She looked tired and was supporting herself with a cane.
I had no idea that he had sneaked in.
“Now is not the time to worry about that.”
Allen turned his gaze to Metatron.
It had enough power to destroy even a meteorite.
But it must have taken a lot of effort.
Now is your last chance.
If the White Bone King and the Bone Dragon join forces, they can easily subdue it.
At that time, powder of light was being sprinkled from the bodies of the White Bone King and the Bone Dragon.
Is that…?
This is a symptom that occurs when summoned entities disappear.
Allen’s eyes widened in surprise inside Amon’s skull.
I turned my gaze to Ellis.
Ellis was chanting with his hands together, but his body seemed to be swaying.
He can barely stand, supporting his body with his legs.
‘Was it because of this?’
The side effects of summoning the White Bone King and Bone Dragon from his body were quite minor for Allen.
Ellis will be handling it alone.
‘It’s trouble if you fall.’
An ordinary priest would have already fallen.
‘If we decided to be together.’
Allen walked to Ellis.
‘I have to go with you until the end. Ellis Astoria.’
“Elise!”
Allen shouted.
Ellis took a deep breath.
It felt like someone was calling him, but it was difficult to even respond.
My whole body feels heavy like a sponge soaked with water.
My vision was blurry due to fatigue.
I barely covered my mouth and held back from throwing up.
Her legs became weak and she knelt in the holy water lake.
‘Not yet.’
It’s hard to endure.
I had no idea that this much explosion of sexual power would occur.
Did the prince bear this burden alone?
‘Hold on.’
Ellis muttered to himself.
Metatron is still in operation.
If you fall, both the White Bone King and the Bone Dragon will disappear.
There is no way to stop Metatron, who even blocked a meteorite.
‘Goddess Gaia, give me just a little more strength…’
Ellis prayed earnestly, putting her hands together and touching her forehead.
The voice coming out of my mouth became quiet and shaky.
The melody of the chant began to sound out of sync.
The surrounding sacred power was out of control.
‘You can’t give up.’
You have to keep singing and praying.
‘Only then…’
Ellis’ eyelids became heavy.
And ‘Tuk-!’ A voice that seemed to cut off was heard.
Ellis’ eyes widened.
Depletion of sexual power.
The melody of the sacred power that resonated with her was cut off.
The sacred power that dominated the temple began to run wild.
‘no!’
In the aftermath, Ellis coughed up blood.
Even the remaining sexual power in the body flows back.
The movements of the White Bone King and the Bone Dragon also slowed down.
It began to scatter light and disappear.
Ellis’ body tilted to the side with a despairing expression on his face.
I stretched out my hand.
The disappearing Skeleton King and Bone Dragon came into view.
‘I can’t give up here…’
When her body tilted to the side as if she was going to lose consciousness, there was someone who held her hand and supported her body.
Ellis opened his eyes with difficulty and looked to the side.
Allen, wearing mountain goat skull bone armor, supports her.
“Ellis Astoria.”
Ellis’ eyes widened.
Allen, who gave her up, feels strength in his hands.
“If you are a saint who supports the Holy Family.”
The 12 wings on her back covered Ellis’ body.
“I will support you too.”
Holy power surges.
Their sacred power was shared and resonated with each other.
The interrupted melody continued.
A small chant came out of Ellis’ mouth.
Accordingly, coordination and harmony are achieved.
resonance.
Ellis, who had been losing consciousness,’s breathing stabilized.
And the holy power of both Allen and Ellis weighed heavily on their entire bodies.
Two people share each other’s burden.
Gritting their teeth, Allen and Ellis turned their gazes to Metatron.
This is the last one.
**
The dragon spouted flames.
Metatron’s back plate melts.
Metatron swung his hand, grabbed the dragon’s head, and struck it down.
At that time, Metatron felt a cold feeling.
Metatron turned his gaze and glared at Allen and Ellis.
Two people supporting each other.
As the saint’s voice resonated, it had an effect on the White Bone King.
The White Bone King’s burning eyes were revealed.
It emits a formidable aura from its body.
The White Bone King opened his huge jaws and breathed his breath into the bone sword.
-To you.
Four Bone Hands strongly grabbed the sword and pulled it.
‘Dangerous.’
Metatron hesitated and took a step back.
A hit that has never been compared before will come.
-Rest in peace!
The White Bone King rotates his waist and swings his sword from bottom to top.
An explosive roar erupted all around.
The sword burst into the wind and flew fiercely towards Metatron.
Metatron folded his heavy hands.
‘Block it!’
If we can’t stop it, this tomb…!
-Ooooooooo!
With the White Bone King’s shout, the tip of the sword crushed Metatron’s hand.
The armor breaks.
The hand made of holy power contained within the armor is cut off.
The blade of holy power even split Metatron’s body.
Metatron’s eyes widened.
beautiful.
The sword that cut him apart left an afterimage, and a wave of aura exploded behind him.
Even the wall of the temple behind Metatron cracked and collapsed.
‘Unable to maneuver.’
Words I had never experienced before were engraved deep within me.
‘Thousands of years of protection….’
– Please protect this land. And what if….
The last will and command from Emperor Ordin.
Metatron’s gaze turned to Ellis and Allen.
-If there is someone who has the holy power to defeat you.
Bone armor falls apart. The boy took off his skull.
And Metatron correctly recognized the face of a boy who looked similar to Ordin.
-Please welcome him as your new owner.
‘…The curtain is coming to an end.’
Metatron’s eyes disappeared.
The magnificent structure collapses.
A huge body fell into the temple, and the entire body scattered light and disappeared.
The Bone Dragon also disappeared, scattering light.
The White Bone King was sucked into the holy water lake while holding his sword.
Hans watched in fascination for a while.
It took a considerable amount of time for the 20m tall Archangel to disappear.
After a while, Hans came to his senses and shouted in surprise.
“Oh my god I really got it! “What on earth are the Prince and Lady Ellis…”
Hans tilted his head in surprise.
“Queen Lorox?”
Queen Rox sighed in relief as she leaned on her staff.
She had used up most of her mana and was exhausted.
Rox looked away.
There were a man and a woman on the lake of holy water that still remained inside the temple.
Let’s meet them . Although this was the first time,
“I heard you have a truly absurd grandchild.”
Queen Rox smiled bitterly.
The two boys and the girl were asleep, leaning on each other.
**
A few days later, in the Imperial Palace of the Holy Kingdom.
Holy Emperor Kelt was sitting on the throne and received a letter.
The letter was from Allen, the 7th grandson. .
Coughing, Kelt read the letter step by step.
It contained a light greeting and business information.
To summarize, the content
was simple: ‘Please extend my vacation.’
[Currently recuperating in the Kingdom of Airans. I hope you can consider that with a broad mind.]
Celt coughed.
Out of frustration, I took out a handkerchief and covered my mouth.
As I tossed and turned my heavy body, Cardinal Raphael, who was watching from the side, gave me a worried look and asked.
“What kind of letter is this?”
“…My grandson said he wanted to rest in peace.”
“I think about this every time, but what is Prince Allen doing around here?”
In response to that question, Kelt shrugged his shoulders and said.
“It looks like they are protecting world peace.”
Since it was a vacation, I let my only grandson act freely.
I tried to treat him as if he were the next successful person.
However, the rumors being heard are shocking.
The Big Eyes and Purgatory incident, and this time, the Irans royal palace vampire incident, as if that wasn’t enough, it appears that he traveled to the underground Taitalos.
“It’s more of a business trip than a vacation. “It was something we should have done, but we only made our grandson suffer.”
If Big Eyes was summoned and purgatory was opened, the Holy Emperor would have to take action personally.
Because they are responsible for the undead incident.
Also, the recovery of the Seonghwangga’s Noble Phantasm is the same thing.
“This means the player has been taken away.”
Celt whetted his appetite.
Taitalos and Archangel.
That was the Noble Phantasm that Celt coveted.
Not only was I unable to vacate the imperial palace, but there were many incidents these days, so I left it alone.
“…I wanted to fight an archangel.”
As a bonus.
Kelt looked at the letter again.
[Queen Rox also asked to say hello.]
I was thinking about meeting Queen Rox.
Kelt folded the letter in disappointment.
He leaned back on the throne.
“I postponed my vacation to Allen .” Please do it. Leave me alone as long as I want to rest. It’s too bad, I wanted to see the coronation ceremony of the Holy King.”
“All right.”
Cardinal Raphael bowed his head. Still, he said.
“But there is something that the 7th Prince entrusted to the Holy Family to investigate.”
“…inspection?”
“This is a letter sent through Elusha’s top.”
“What was it about?”
Raphael scratched his chin with a complicated expression.
“This is an investigation into the defense forces in the north and those whom Mr. Allen saved while traveling to other countries. “Although other locations are under investigation, the investigation into Lonia in the north has been completed.”
“so?”
Raphael pressed his temples.
After hearing the report I received a while ago, I hesitated to speak because I did not understand it in common sense.
Raphael said as Celt tilted his head.
“Prisoners.”
“I’m using my holy power.”
Celt was mesmerized by those words.
After taking a moment to understand what that meant, my eyes widened.
**
December 25th.
It was the day that the Demon King Amon disappeared.
It was something to be celebrated in the capital of the Holy Empire, but it was different in the Lonia territory in the north.
‘Waves of death.’
The 25th is a day when the dead are constantly stirring for a month and gather to kill the living.
The Demon King’s magic remained on the earth and spread powerful power throughout the continent.
The role of Ronia’s ‘prisoners’ was to prevent the dead from spreading such contagion.
And it has become active now in mid-October.
“Stop it!”
The prisoners shout.
They were not idiots.
They were all warriors who fought against the invasion of the ‘Count’ and overcame death.
Above all, with the support of the Seonghwangbeopguk, they became well-equipped ‘soldiers’.
“The Holy Son is with you!”
“We are blessed believers!”
These were people who committed sins and did not believe in God.
Before they know it.
“Pray up!”
I became a believer.
The prisoners shout in unison.
“Gaia-!”
There are dead people climbing the wall.
“The strength and courage to subdue the dead!”
Although it is weak, the energy of holy power penetrates their bodies.
“Please pass judgment under the blessing of Saint Allen Olfols!”
Holy power spread throughout the body.
The prisoners raised their eyebrows as they strengthened their physical abilities.
There is no such thing as fear.
They draw their swords and swing them to subdue the dead.
“What is this…”
There is a prisoner serving there.
Rupel All Falls.
No, he is now a ‘gravekeeper’ who lives a new life under the surnameless name of Schupell.
He was mesmerized.
Not just Schupel, but
the people around him.
Harmon and Charlotte also showed surprised eyes.
In particular, Charlotte visited her hometown for the first time in a long time and was able to meet her old adoptive father, Grill.
And the grill.
“I will subdue the dead. Hahahaha!”
He was standing tall over the corpses of the dead, raising his sword and bursting into laughter.
Charlotte muttered at that sight.
“…Nonsense.”
All those who were saved by Saint Allen.
He was protecting the north using ‘sacred power’.
