Episode 139 Civil War Ender (2)
“Get away. away. “Please stay away.”
“…big! Oops! “Yep!”
bang! Quack! bang!
The beating continued endlessly. Rachiel’s huge arm moved violently, as if she was trying to shake off boogers from her fingertips because she was bothered, but it wasn’t as good as she expected, so she shook it harder.
Every time that happened, the Javilon that was clinging to my arm fluttered. It hit the ground hard. Still, it didn’t come off easily. Of course, it wasn’t Javilon’s will.
‘I… I… Gagging…!’
It is unfair.
I just activated the final secret. I was just trying to end the black-haired escort with that. Then, they mistakenly caught the crown prince who intervened out of nowhere. That’s why I can’t fall. That’s all.
‘Why am I… like this…?’
Tears came to my eyes. However, before the tears even formed at the corners of my eyes, I received the protection(?) of powerful centrifugal force and gravitational acceleration. Drops of water flew into the air. And to the floor along with the body.
Kwaaang-!
“…Kuheook!”
I was out of breath. Is my bone broken? I couldn’t figure it out. My whole body hurt, so it was difficult to tell where it was broken. Moreover, there was no mental space given at all. This was because the crown prince’s huge arm was raised without mercy.
‘I’d rather kill him right now…!’
Quang!
“…Juggugh!”
It was miserable. I wondered if I had worked so hard to become like this. I wondered if I had competed with and fought against countless people, eliminated most of them, and climbed all the way up here. I wondered if they had started a rebellion and pushed more lives into the battlefield.
I was in vain.
If he died here, what would happen to those who have died by his hands so far? What was the meaning of those who were sacrificed to his dreams? I don’t know. But only meaningless laughter flows out.
‘Hehe… Hehehe…!’
Suddenly, I remembered a conversation we had with the crown prince when he was disguised as a saintly military doctor. At that time, he asked a question to test the military doctor, and the doctor gave an unexpected answer.
‘Is it… a country that can only be maintained through someone’s bloodshed and sacrifice?’
At the time, I was speechless and couldn’t answer. Because it was so unexpected. I feel like I was caught off guard. I had to hide my inner embarrassment.
But not anymore.
I can answer.
Because it ended up like this.
Because I’m about to face the end like this.
Now I understand.
‘In the first place… that’s what a country is like.’
It’s still the same now. You are sacrificing yourself. By dying a miserable death here, he is engraved in history as a traitor and becomes a symbol of dishonor that will remain for generations to come.
That’s how you sacrifice your life as a price of blood. It leaves behind a story for this country and people. Regardless of how the story is interpreted.
‘Right… isn’t it?’
Javilon turned his head with no effort. I cast a glance. Where his eyes are directed. There was his competitor standing there, devastated.
The first heir to the throne of the Amboise royal family.
It was Princess Adeline.
She was looking up at Rachiel with eyes filled with astonishment.
“What is this…”
I couldn’t believe it. The situation where the crown prince suddenly became so huge. The sight of him repeatedly pummeling the sword master, Javilon, on the floor as if he were a toy. I felt like I was having a dream with the most bizarre and bizarre tastes.
So it was.
“…hey.”
Tuk-tuk.
She raised her uninjured arm. I tapped the person next to me. At her touch, the rebel SS knight flinched and woke up from his daze.
The princess asked the rebel SS knight.
“Is that what I’m seeing real?”
“I guess so…”
the rebel knight answered absentmindedly. The princess looked at the rebel knight. The rebel knight also looked back at the princess. Just a moment ago, they were fighting to the death, clashing swords and steel gauntlets. But now? The whole fight felt meaningless.
“If what I’m seeing is true, it seems like it’s all over now.”
“…I agree.”
The rebel knight nodded obediently. The strength went out of his hands. Clang! The knight’s long sword fell to the floor with a loud, soft sound. He had put down the sword himself.
The sound woke up the remaining rebel SS knights on the plains.
“….”
Clang clank.
One by one, the rebel knights, who were staring blankly at the devastation(?) suffered by Javilon, began to lay down their swords. I calmed down the horse that was breathing heavily and got off the horse. He took off his helmet and placed it on the floor.
The meaning was clear.
It was a gesture of surrender, indicating that he had no will to fight anymore.
The princess’s heart swelled. She turned her head and looked up at Rakiel again. At that moment, one of Rachiel’s hands loaded(?) a huge chestnut. I aimed at Javilon, which couldn’t fall no matter how much I shook and hit it.
‘okay. When driving at a traffic light, there are times when you mindlessly blow your nose while stopping and the snot gets stuck to your fingers, right? At that time, no matter how much I waved my hand, the boogers wouldn’t come off. ‘At that time, this was the best.’
Slide down the window and hit it with the other hand to blow away the boogers!
Rachiel raised her arms, recalling memories(?) from Korea. The Javilon, which was hanging languidly, came up with it hanging limply. I aimed at that Javilon without mercy. I gave strength to the finger that was loaded with Takbam.
He condensed and gathered his strength until the end and even compressed his soul. In the meantime, the remaining time to maintain gigantism was rapidly decreasing.
[Current remaining gigantic maintenance time: 31 seconds]
‘Get away from me!’
I shouted as if I was memorizing a spell.
The power of Takbam, which had been condensed to its limit, was unleashed. No, it fired.
Toukwaang-!
“…Guh!”
That was the end of it.
Javilon, hit hard on the side, fell out of his arm. It danced a magnificent twist and flew through the air. After a beautiful flight of about 30 meters, he performed a 1580 degree forward roll and fell flat. Dust rose and settled.
But Javilon did not wake up. I just passed out in a posture like a broken Lego or a piece of modern art.
It was a miserable downfall of a powerful sword master.
At that sight, the kingdom’s army at Valois Fortress was shaken. In particular, King Merobanger, who was watching the situation in the plains from the watchtower at the fortress gate, clenched his fists without realizing it.
“Is that… what I’m seeing… really reality…?”
He couldn’t believe it. I wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes. Or I even wondered if there was something wrong with the food I ate this morning.
But no.
It was really true.
This was true even when I roughly rubbed my eyes with the back of my wrinkled hand.
‘How could that be…’
A man lying in the dust. I didn’t know until the chase started earlier, but now I know. Even from afar, the light of the auror he revealed was so brilliant. There is only one being in the entire rebel army who can emit such an aura.
‘Jabilon.’
A traitor who dared point a sword at himself. However, the Sword Master could not be easily defeated. Javilon was so helpless that he collapsed. Even by a giant human appearing in a very unrealistic way.
Swordmaster Sir Idris, who was guarding the king’s side, said, shaking his beard.
“I don’t believe it, but at least it doesn’t seem to be an illusion or a trick, Your Highness.”
“Yeah, I guess so. “That makes it even less realistic.”
The king’s voice also trembled.
Who would dare say that this situation, in which a huge human suddenly appeared and caught Javilon, the sword master of the rebel army, like catching a rat, is realistic? What if someone came and told you this about an hour ago? They might have thrown him in jail to tell him to stop talking nonsense.
But this was reality.
It was so real that it was ridiculous.
Moreover, that giant human… looked like the Prince of Magentano! That was the biggest problem!
‘why?’
Is the Prince of Magentano doing that over there? When did it come? For what purpose is this done?
A million questions popped into my head. But no answer came back. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.
So it was.
King Merrovanger decided now to focus only on the hard facts.
“Prepare to deploy the entire army!”
It doesn’t matter whether the Prince of Magentano has become huge or not. It doesn’t matter why the crown prince appeared here like that. Those things can be revealed later.
On the other hand, what about civil war?
It can only be finished at this very moment. Now that the leader of the rebels has fallen, there is a chance. You’d be a fool to miss this.
“Open the gate!”
The gate to the Valois fortress, which had been tightly closed, was opened. The drums of the marching army sounded. Every time, Rakiel’s heart pounded.
“Ha haha….”
I did it.
Rebel SS knights expressing their will to surrender everywhere. The kingdom’s army prepares to march. I could feel it intuitively by looking at their appearances.
‘The rebels… will fall now.’
The sight of Javilon lying scattered about was visible. The powerful Sword Master seemed to have collapsed in vain. When I saw that, the setting in the novel Demon Sword Emperor suddenly came to mind.
‘In this world, the Sword Master had absolutely asymmetrical power, probably.’
It was like that.
In modern Earth terms, the Sword Master was a being with the same status as a nuclear weapon. This was especially true because the Sword Master could only be defeated by the Sword Master.
What if two countries go to war and one side doesn’t have a sword master? That is the end of the war. If one side’s sword master breaks into the other country’s command center and dances with his sword, the command center will be annihilated that day.
Therefore, to suppress war, you must have a Sword Master. That is the absolute truth. However, the rebels just lost the only sword master they had. On the other hand, there is still one sword master left in the kingdom’s army.
So now the pendulum has clearly tilted. Knowing that, the rebel SS knights would also surrender. The rebels on the other side of the plains will also be in great turmoil.
“…ha.”
I sighed. I felt like all the fatigue I had built up came rushing to me all at once. In the warning window on one side of my field of vision, the remaining time to maintain gigantism was gradually decreasing.
On the other side, loud messages were coming out of nowhere.
Ding dong!
[You had the rare experience of competing with the Sword Master for the pure mana in your body.]
[And at the end of that rare war of attrition, you achieved a miraculous, overwhelming victory.]
[This series of events will form a special history in your Mana Circle. It was engraved and became the foundation for explosive growth.]
[The grade of Asrahan Mind Technique has increased.]
[Skill Name: Dizzy Mind Technique]
[Level: Double Circle Lv.1]
[Mana Amplification Rate: 400%]
…Kiiiiiing- !
The moment the message came to mind, a ray of mana circle surrounding the heart rotated violently. It roared. Split into two stems. They intersect like an X and surround the heart. An unprecedented and powerful force that I had never felt before filled my heart.
But I could no longer enjoy that power. In addition, I could no longer hear any congratulatory messages, reward notifications, or cheers from the five organs and six parts.
This was because the dark red warning message that appeared before my eyes covered other notifications.
Ding dong!
[Current remaining gigantic maintenance time: 0 minutes 0 seconds]
A warning sound rings in my head.
A warning message that takes over your entire field of vision.
[Gigantization time has ended.]
[The red sunflower seeds you took are supplements exclusively for phantom species, not humans.]
[Gigantization has ended and serious side effects will occur on your body.]
[From the current point onwards, serious side effects will occur. You will fall into a coma for 120 hours (5 days).]
[Good night?]
Clap!
“…!”
A feeling of being hit by something.
At the same time, you feel a sense of strength being released from your entire body.
The world suddenly became blurry. A legion of the kingdom’s army preparing to march. There is also a glimpse of King Merobanger at the forefront. Damien and the princess’s hands hurriedly supporting him. I saw it all the way there. My head dropped. I couldn’t bear it. My knees buckled. My consciousness sank to the floor.
‘But… it’s okay.’
I started laughing without realizing it.
I had no idea that I would perform like this in a civil war that I participated in just to gain bonus life. I had no idea that I would be in a situation like this where I would have to faint for five days. The more I thought about it, the more absurd I became.
Still, I can say this with certainty.
The civil war is over.
