chapter 235
Others’ faces froze at the shocking sight.
It was because the hero who solved phases 1 and 2 with his own power suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes with flames all over his body.
“Eh, what the hell is this… … .”
Luca, who was watching the scene blankly, murmured.
“… … In the place where he passed, the trees are broken and the soil is dug up, and nothing is destroyed or burned, leaving not even a shadow.”
Luka slowly turned his head to see Elena, who started talking in a trembling voice.
“What do you mean… … ?”
“It’s a famous sentence written in Typhon’s mythology. no way… … What really disappeared… … .”
“Does that make sense? Junior… … Carlione Jr. is extinct?!”
At this, Luca’s eyes begin to shake greatly.
‘Where the hell did Carlione Jr. go? What kind of situation is this? If Carlione Jr. was annihilated, what effect would it have on us Medici–‘
“Everyone calm down.”
At that time, it seemed that he would somehow solve this sudden situation. There was a resounding voice.
“Just now, Junior didn’t show any pain. And with such sudden disappearance, it is more correct to assume that Junior was moved somewhere by him rather than that he died.”
Sober situational analysis.
At Michaela’s words, the atmosphere begins to calm down a little.
“Does that mean Eugene might not be dead?”
“For now, I think it’s the most correct way to look at it that way. We’ll never be able to beat him if we don’t think so in the first place.”
After saying that, he raised his visor and saw the giant in front of him. Michaela looking at Typhon.
“First of all, what should we do with that?”
Typhon is looking at Raid One with funny eyes. A total of 100 snakes were gazing at them with glazed eyes and flicking their tongues on his head.
“… … The nun is right. For now, solving the raid somehow is an urgent priority.”
As Luca raised his sword and aimed it at Typhon, the others also raised their weapons and began aiming at Typhon.
“… … Let’s try to survive for now.”
It was at the same time as Luca said that.
– Exterminate.
At Typhon’s words, a hundred snakes open their mouths at the same time.
The inside of the snakes’ mouths begin to glow with a tingling sound, and Michaela, realizing what this means, goes ahead first and crosses her arms.
“Wizards!!”
aaa!!
Michaela, who stepped forward to block the lightning spewing out of the snakes’ mouths, shouted at the wizards.
In response, the wizards hurriedly use defensive magic toward Michaela.
Paladins and snakes clad in magic shoot lightning.
The two collide and create a huge flash of light around them.
-Are you a knight who serves God? Trying to block my attack with that fragile body. It is truly unique.
“I am not happy to hear that from you!”
Michaela barely managed to survive with dozens of wizards clinging to her.
Even though she blocked it, she couldn’t completely offset it, so her armor was broken or distorted by the impact just now, and her original appearance could not be found.
There was no guarantee what would happen if the next attack came right away.
“… … A real monster lived there.”
In response, a white cat mask steps in front of Michaela.
Seeing that, the other avant-gardes also stand in front of Michaela and pull out their swords.
“But if I give up, the only thing I can do is die. sister.”
“Venice will also try to struggle as much as possible.”
Michaela stares blankly through the broken visor at those who step in front of her.
“… … That should be it. As long as we hold on, Junior will definitely come back.”
Standing in front of everyone once again, Michaela thuds! Clap your fists together with a groan.
“Let the holy war begin.”
* * *
After Typhon’s flames covered my entire body.
When I came to my senses, I knew that I had arrived at a place I had never seen before.
“Is it as planned?”
The ‘Isolation Pattern’, which is said to be one of the ‘Fire Giant’ most bizarre patterns in the game.
No big deal. It was a double gimmick of kidnapping the person with the most deals in phase 2 to another space.
“I was really surprised that the sister deal was bigger than I thought.”
To be honest, her attack power was stronger than I thought, so I thought I was missing the number one spot in terms of damage.
If the last attack hadn’t hit, I might not have come here.
To be honest, if Sister had come here, all my plans would have been ruined, so I’m very glad.
“Okay then, where shall we look around?”
This is a place called the depths of Etna Volcano, and it was a place where you had to go through all sorts of traps and monsters and reach the end to escape.
A long corridor barely visible due to the murals of the mythological age painted on the walls and a few torches.
The description of the place in the game says it’s used to test strength and wisdom, but in my personal opinion, I thought it was just a place made by the producer to prank players.
“Well, memorizing monsters and trap locations is also wisdom, isn’t it wisdom?”
And I was thinking of using that wisdom to escape this place.
“It must have started here.”
Standing in front of a platform that looked like a trap, I assumed the sprint posture used by sprinters.
In the end, a trap is something that takes time to activate.
So what happens if you get past the trap before it triggers?
“Lightning lightning.”
The sight around you starts to stretch, and the scenery starts to change in an instant.
-Boom! ──Thump! ─── thump thump thump!
Along the way I was running, I heard the sound of traps triggering from behind.
Black lightning crossed the corridor at the level of barely avoiding traps.
Avoid the traps popping up from above by activating Yungbo, and move forward without slowing down.
-Kyaa– Evil?!
Monsters blocking the way pass through the body as it is.
At the same time, the activation time of the lightning charge is released, and the body floats in the air.
After realizing that I had broken through the area where the trap appeared due to the appearance of the monster a while ago, I immediately rolled my body, took out my shotgun, and used acceleration to move forward.
“This must be faster than the game record?!”
If I remember correctly, the record in the game was around 15 minutes.
However, at this speed, I was convinced that I would be able to overcome it with a bigger gap than that.
That moment.
-Kwaaa!!
A wriggling ball of fire as the ceiling collapsed.
The corrupted fire spirit appeared in front of me, but I moved my finger on the trigger beforehand and blew the guy’s body away.
“Next was the Lava Golem and 7 lesser spirits, right?”
Adjust the amount of error accordingly. Put the aura in the shotgun, hold it on your shoulder, and aim the muzzle in the direction the next monster will pop out.
-Guruwoowook?!
“Lava cut.”
It’s a clean movement that’s no different from the classic hit and run.
After that, after preparing for the next attack by inserting the shotgun and taking out Tommy, I accelerated further, remembering the items waiting for me at the end of this hallway.
“I’m sure the people left in the temple are holding on well… … ?”
Please, you should arrive on time.
* * *
The ‘Temple of Fire’, where Typhon and the raid members were confronting, had no battlefield.
“Carter passed out!”
“Throw the wounded back! If you leave it as it is, you will die!”
The raid members are blocking the snakes from constantly attacking. From the armor that has already become rags and the weapons with worn teeth, you can tell at a glance what kind of battle they are fighting so far.
– It’s really pitiful and pitiful. mortals
“You’d better keep your mouth shut.”
A handful of people still targeting Typhon.
Michaela, Luca. And even the cat mask.
Those who could be called the aces of each formation continued to attack, aiming for Typhon’s neck, but were unable to attack properly due to overwhelming numbers.
“At this rate, there is no real hope!”
A cat mask shouting at Michaela while holding onto a mask with cracks everywhere.
“Still, the number of snakes is decreasing little by little. As long as you keep holding on——”
-ah. do you mean this
Typhon smirks as he lifts his own cut hair with his hand.
Moments later, the decapitated snakes began to wriggle and grow new heads.
-How are you? Would this be enough to fall into despair?
Seeing the snakes cut by sacrificing their lifespan and regenerating in an instant brings a feeling of desolation. The faces of those who were holding out with evil gradually begin to be stained with despair.
“Um, they grow again?”
“How the hell are you supposed to win against something like that!”
According to their reaction, the situation is literally hopeless.
However, Michaela, who knew that if she didn’t do anything like this, would eventually lead to dog death, she glared at Typhon, drawing in the last handful of her divine power that was already showing the bottom.
‘To overcome this situation, we need hope. And there is only one action you can take to create hope.’
sacrifice.
No matter what method you use, you only change the game of the situation a little bit.
Michaela, who was trying to change the situation by risking her own life, collected her heart and looked at the enemy in front of her while reciting the prime number in her heart as she always did.
‘1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13… … .’
When you feel your mind gradually calm down and try to run the sacred power in your body.
boo woo woo —-
Beyond the heavy door they had opened and entered, a huge echo was heard.
“… … trumpet call?”
Luka, who was breathing heavily at this, turned his head and looked at the door.
‘Why, why did I suddenly hear this sound?’
Is it the enemy’s new skill? If that’s the case, you have to move Jin right away before the embossing is captured… … .
My head is confused. But such doubts are short-lived.
boo woo woo —-
I started to see something in the distance.
A golden cross flag drawn on a pure white background. Dozens of such flags were running towards this place.
“… … that one.”
“Vatican!!”
Michaela opened her mouth, interrupting Luka who was questioning.
“A flag representing the Knights Templar of the Vatican!”
woo woo woo woo woo —-
As the flag gets closer, the invisible figures begin to be clearly visible.
White armor, black armor, iron armor, etc.
The sight of hundreds of people dressed in armor appropriate for the word ‘knight’ walking in sync with their footsteps seemed even sacred.
A situation that no one here could have expected.
Above all, Michaela, who saw the man standing in the vanguard of them, opened her trembling mouth with a surprised expression she had never seen before.
“Chu, Your Highness Cardinal?”
The man who oversees armed groups even inside the Vatican.
Sword of the Vatican. The commander of the knights under the direct control of the Pope, called the judge of God. It was because of the appearance of Cardinal Ambrosio.
-… … Did the annoying flying flies flock all at once?
Typhon, frowning at the new arrivals, turns to look at the Templars.
-Don’t disturb the play. fall down.
The snakes turn their heads toward them all at once.
Hundreds of snakes opened their mouths all at once, showing signs of an attack they had just launched against the raid members.
“His Highness Cardinal! You must avoid it!!”
Michaela shouted with all her might, but a person’s cry cannot go faster than light.
A stronger light than just before burst out of his mouth, and he fired a huge lightning bolt towards the knights.
However.
“Suck!”
Kkwareung—!
A cardinal who cancels an attack in an instant by throwing out the government with a moderate movement.
Pan—!
The two waves intertwined and created a strong afterstorm.
– Hoo.
Typhon looked interested and stared at the cardinal, who easily blocked his attack.
Are you aware of that gaze? The cardinal catches his breath, retrieves his fist, and waves at Michaela, who is watching him from afar.
“Michaela! Everything is as you said!”
“yes?”
All of a sudden, he started saying incomprehensible words.
“here! I have brought the holy relic you asked for! Would this be enough?!”
Saying so, the figure of him waving a 16-tiered white rosary toward the air——
“… … to?”
What does Michaela mean? He only tilted his head.
