◈ Episode 632 God’s Stake (2)
Something is coming.
The moment Melvin felt that way, a strange energy from afar swept through the barracks, climbed up the mountain ridge, and quickly passed over their bodies standing at the top.
A chill ran down my spine, my fingertips trembled, and cold sweat broke out.
Melvin looked down at the crater with even paler eyes.
The intangible energy that swept over the top of the mountain flowed down like a landslide.
It was at the same time that the punitive forces, who were intoxicated with the joy of victory, unconsciously kept their mouths shut.
Silence spreads like an infectious disease over a scene filled with cheers, smiles, and joy.
It was so heterogeneous, as if everyone was trying to mix it up.
People trembled every time the energy swept through them. Holy and physically trained paladins and priests were no exception.
“hmm?”
A wizard in his mid to late 30s with scarlet hair,
Alon Pablo, the bearer of the red title, looked back with interest.
“There’s something more.”
Unlike other people, his reaction was calm.
People say things and do things. Alon Pablo is a red wizard who controls fire, so his temper is likely to be very hot.
But he did just the opposite.
Extremely rational and cool-headed.
Therefore, I was able to quickly make a judgment about the strange phenomenon that was happening.
“He’s also a very dangerous guy. He thought he had captured a monster, but the real monster was something else?”
“ha ha ha! “I was already thinking that something was going to end badly, but it turned out great!”
The person next to him who reacted was a pink-haired man with half of his head shaved off and piercings in his ears.
Despite his funky style and frivolous appearance, no one pointed out him because he was a wizard with a purple title.
Coilwart, the purple wizard.
He moistened his tongue with his long lips. He came because he was told he could fight an 8th rank monster, but he was dissatisfied because it ended up in the trivial form of God’s Stake.
However, a new event has arisen unexpectedly, so how can you not be happy?
“Something is coming! “Prepare the Holy Knights!”
“Everyone, come to your senses!”
“Bless the light.”
Here and there, priests and paladins used their divine power to cover the surroundings with warm light.
Only then did the tremors subside and people were able to breathe properly.
Bantam, the leader of the Holy Knights of Light, who was watching the scene, narrowed his eyes sharply and quickly scanned the surroundings.
‘Where are you? ‘Where on earth are they?’
While others were trembling from an unknown force, Bantam was different.
Rather, he felt that someone had naturally infiltrated the ranks of this punitive force.
‘He’s quite a dangerous guy. The energy just a moment ago was not normal. In fact, this one might be more dangerous than the Jinhyeol-ui vampire we were worried about.’
More dangerous than a monster with the power of an 8th rank wizard?
Even if he thought about it and thought this wasn’t right, Bantam didn’t ignore his instincts.
“Can you see it?”
The person asking next to him was Balut, Bantam’s old friend and a knight under the direct command of the Lumos family.
“no. I can’t see it yet. But you can tell. “He must be here.”
“I never thought they would come to a place with this many troops without any intention of hiding.”
Most people would be puzzled when they hear these two people speak.
An uninvited guest infiltrated the punitive forces, but he didn’t sneak in and had no intention of hiding it?
But Bantam and Balut thought differently.
The other party entered the front door proudly.
He had no intention of hiding his presence.
But why can’t people find him or recognize him?
What is invisible to people’s eyes is not just the smallest things.
On the other hand, if the power and presence are too great, the field of view itself becomes so full that nothing can be seen.
That was the situation now.
But the talented people were different.
They sensed the strangeness of this phenomenon and became desperate to find the person hiding here.
“The hunters are moving too.”
“Because tracking is unrivaled.”
At that time, I saw a streak of purple lightning rising high into the sky in the distance.
The lightning seemed to soar high into the sky, but then it split into thin, thin pieces and turned into thread.
Tens of thousands of lightning threads covered the surrounding area like a cage and began to search for the beings inside.
“That bastard ends up doing something wrong.”
“But if it’s that much, I’m sure we’ll be able to find it.”
However, even as time passed, Coilwat did not show any response that he had found someone.
In other words, even though he had unleashed this level of magic, he still couldn’t find his opponent.
“What on earth? “Why can’t I catch anything?”
When Alon saw Coilwart fuming in frustration, he thought something was strange.
Coil Watt’s tracking doesn’t work?
The thin line of electric current that was just unfolding was a tracking technique that no human being could ever avoid.
Coil Watt’s magic was to capture the flow of bioelectricity flowing inside the human body and follow it.
Any living person or breathing creature has no choice but to be caught.

And yet there is none.
Don’t get caught.
‘Is it possible for a human to get hit?’
Aren’t non-human monsters sealed now?
With that thought in mind, Alon looked in the direction where Grander was sealed with God’s stake, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
“what?”
there was.
There, one person was standing quietly in front of a pure white cocoon, looking at it.
Long black hair, a stylish black and white frock coat, and a tall figure.
Just by looking at his back, I could feel that he was a noble person with considerable beauty.
However, it was not a suit that suited the current scene.
In the first place, until that man arrived here, no one surrounding this crater was aware of his existence.
Hwareuk.
Heat rose around Alon’s body and embers flew.
It’s a guy.
He is the one who caused this entire subjugation force to fall into a strange sensation.
‘Cardinal Patrick. I thought they were cleverly hiding the fact that there was something more.’
Whatever it is.
If he wasn’t invited, I wouldn’t mind killing him.
Alon didn’t bother to ask who the other person was.
No, rather, I felt a sense of crisis that if I didn’t kill it right now, it would be dangerous.
So, the flames rising around were gathered together to form a huge window.
A hot scarlet spear with a total length of approximately 30 meters was launched towards the intruder’s back.
At that time, everyone around him was perplexed by Alon’s magic that was realized and fired in an instant.
Alon’s eyes widened at the sight that unfolded next.
Faaah!
The spear of flame disappeared.
It is not a normal 2nd or 3rd level magic.
Alon’s magic, which deals directly with the flame itself, could not be compared to such inferior magic.
It was his flame that could burn forever without being extinguished just by touching it.
But it disappeared.
It was as if it had been extinguished, and not even the common sparks were flying.
Ironically, Alon’s magic became a signal announcing the presence of an intruder.
“Who is that?”
“Since when have you been here?”
At that time, there was a lot of noise and the punitive forces were confused.
Ludger, who was still in front of the pure white egg, opened his mouth.
“quiet.”
Everyone fell silent at that one word.
Still, people looked at each other.
what. Why don’t you stop talking?
Then why did you suddenly become quiet?
He scolded the other person with his eyes, but his response was that he did not understand that he was in the same situation.
It was such a strange and comical sight.
But no one could laugh, and no one could get angry.
The only one who did his job in that delicate situation was Ludger.
He held out his palm toward the pure white egg sealed with the god’s stake.
Bantam, the leader of the Holy Knights, saw the scene and sighed.
I knew he was crazy, but wasn’t that crazy behavior?
You’re thrusting your bare hand towards God’s stake seal?
That is not just a holy relic that seals something.
It was a terrifying object that crushed the soul and turned the body into a living shell that touched it.
If it were a human being, its soul would disappear as soon as it was touched and it would disappear as if it were falling apart.
That thought changed when the surface of the pure white egg began to crack in Ludger’s palm.
Quick! Absolutely!
“The power of God’s stake… … Are you being pushed out? “Is this possible?”
Bantam muttered in disbelief.
Meanwhile, a black crack widened on the pure white egg, and soon it shattered like glass, centered around Ludger’s palm.
A black crack on one side of the egg.
Ludger slowly walked inside.
Everyone who saw that scene swallowed their saliva.
I didn’t even think about stopping Ludger or going after him.
It was because of the ominous feeling that the black space itself gave.
Ludger entered the inside of the seal and saw Grander lying comfortably in the dark.
A comfortable lying position, like when you sleep in a coffin.
There are no wounds on the body, and the clothes are in good condition.
He is breathing smoothly and his complexion is also good.
However, Grander did not even move even though Ludger was approaching.
“Master.”
Ludger stood next to Grander and knelt down on one knee.
“Is this the end you wanted? “Is this something so base that it cannot even be called death, and cannot even save the soul?”
Ludger lightly stroked Grandeur’s cheek with his hand.
Slowly, gently, as if you were treating a precious family member.
“Are you saying you ended your promise to me just to end up like this?”
Ludger’s voice gradually trembled.
An emotional side that Ludger did not usually show.
Anger, self-blame, regret, sadness.
After all those emotions swirled like a storm, Ludger made only one choice.
“I just can’t stand to see it like that.”
Due to God’s stake, Grandeur suffered a severe blow to his soul.
But it’s not too late.
Grandeur is a being of higher rank, superior to humans.
Even though she was sealed by God’s stake, her soul did not disappear immediately.
If it had been a little later, her soul would have disappeared from this world with no way to save it.
Ludger perked up.
The pure white energy that arose around his body washed away the black space created by God’s stake.
and.
Quaching!
The large egg created by the god’s stake completely shattered, and its pure white fragments fell to the floor.
The night sky unfolded.
Ludger cut a wound on his palm and let the blood flowing from it drop onto Grander’s lips.
One drop. One drop.
Drops of blood, carefully dropped, seeped into the cracks of Grandeur’s red lips.
Grander, who had been closed the entire time, slowly opened his eyes.
Blurry red eyes, as if they had just woken up, turned to Ludger.
“Ah, Heathcliff.”
Grander laughed and smiled at Ludger.
It was a face that showed maternal love, something she did not usually show.
Ludger felt like his heart broke even more when he saw that.
Because it meant that her mind was not as sound as before.
“I told you not to come. In the end, you came.”
Grander realized the moment he saw Ludger.
In the end, he couldn’t die again.
And Ludger came to save him.
“Why? “I thought I could finally finish it now.”
“Because this is not the death I promised.”
“Death is an excuse. I just wanted to rest. Like right now.”
Tears flowed from between Grander’s eyes.
“I wanted to rest.”
“I know.”
“know? What do you know? As I was with you, I actually felt affection for you. I have become so weak that I cannot let blood get on my hands. So how do you know that I ended up breaking my promise and running away!”
Grander almost screamed at Ludger like a child throwing a tantrum.
She was now half out of her mind, having suffered a blow to her soul from God’s stake.
Ludger silently listened to Grander’s anger.
And when Grander finished speaking, he carefully opened his mouth.
“mother.”
“… … .”
Mother, not teacher.
It was something Ludger used to say to ease Grander’s anger, but it was different now.
Ludger spoke sincerely toward his mother, who was not only his teacher, but also raised him in this life.
“I just want you to live.”
“To me, living is suffering.”
“I know. “When everyone else disappears in time, you will remain in the world just as you were.”
“Even though I know that… … !”
“Still, still.”
Ludger spoke sincerely to Grander.
“Children want their parents to live.”
“… … .”
“No matter how difficult and painful it is, even if what awaits you is a daunting future.”
Ludger wiped away Grander’s tears with a warm hand.
“Still, I hope my mother lives.”
