00893 All That Glitters Is Not Gold, Three. ————————————————– ———————-=
How much time has passed?
No, how many tens of people did this count?
I don’t know. The sky is starting to darken little by little, and there’s nothing more funny than counting the number of enemies killed during battle. In fact, I don’t even remember it properly. If you keep swinging, it will end someday.
I saw them running away in a hurry right in front of me, so without hesitation I jumped into the middle of the spur. As Victoria’s glory was indiscriminately swung at whatever caught her eye, the afterimage mixed with red energy stretched out and sharply seeped into the backs of the fleeing guys’ necks.
The crunching, crunching feel of cutting into flesh and bones is terrifying. As soon as I violently shook off my hand that had been drawing in the right direction, the heads of the guys who had their backs to me rolled down at the same time. One after another, they kneel and fall down helplessly.
As I let out the breath I had been holding for a while, weak screams and murmurs from all directions hit my ears. I don’t know what they’re talking about, but I don’t really want to know. Thinking of just getting rid of it quickly, I activated Igigeo Swordsmanship, and the Swordless Sword, Ilwol Shingeom, and Caligo Abraxas burst into the sky with a long sword sound.
One of the benefits of succeeding to the ‘Sword Lord’ is that my connection with the swords I use has become stronger. I can move beyond the body, which is considered a part of the body, and move as I want. There is no doubt that it can produce tremendous power if used well.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As he poured in as much magical energy as he could, it spun around and around through the three black holes, spinning violently like flowing water and hitting all directions.
The sound of tearing the air is very cold. Just like a storm that destroys everything that stands in its way, it breaks and crumbles into pieces with just a brush of the blade. If it touches the chest, it will be cut off, and if it touches the thigh, the leg will fall off as if it were being chopped into a blender.
In the meantime, there were people who raised shields or erected shields, but these were fleeting actions. The thick piece of iron swept away by the gust of the blade cracks and breaks in an instant, and the white curtain does not last even a second and is pulverized like paper put in a shredder. It would be difficult to block it by simply calculating the rotational force, but since it is combined with the power of a swordsman expert, it is impossible to stop it.
After a while, the blood spurted by dozens of people soared into the air and intertwined, and the loud, ear-scratching shouts gradually died down.
Shoo!
A sharp noise suddenly cuts through the air. It’s quite scary to live on a day when it’s aimed at your neck. For a moment, I thought about striking him with my sword, but then I reflexively turned around and grabbed my cloak and pulled it up. It was almost at the same time that the long steel spear that was hovering over Heoyeon Kim came crashing in.
No, wait a minute. A window made of steel?
『Activates the Red Moon Cloak’s ability ‘Absorption’.』
『Absorbs the Iron Lance.』
Iron Lance? Not an ice lance?
Anyway, the steel spear that was attacking with great force disappeared into the cloak at the same speed as it came. She felt a brief sensation of support on her body, but it quickly disappeared. The power of the Red Moon Cloak was activated.
When I looked in the direction from which the steel spear came, I saw a woman with her hood pulled down and retreating. I immediately lunged at her, stomping her feet. Seeing magic using steel aroused my curiosity.
As we entered Gungsintanyeong, the distance became closer in an instant. The woman made a startling gesture, but her instant response was excellent. She steps back without losing her balance and calmly holds out her hand. At that moment, I felt relieved, even if it was just a little.
Zeng, Zeng, Zeng, Zeng, Zeng, Zeng!
It didn’t seem like I was chanting any spells, but suddenly six iron sounds pierced my ears. I glanced down and saw six new steel spears shooting out of the ground. It spun around like a living creature, then spun around and stabbed from six directions.
It was definitely an unexpected attack. However, I immediately raised my magic power, activated Lee Hyeong-hwanwi, and immediately occupied the woman’s rear.
As I stare ahead, steel spears mercilessly cut through the remaining afterimage. The woman let out a loud sigh of relief, but as her image began to fade, she suddenly lost her footing and collapsed into my arms. Judging from the slenderness of her shoulders that touch her chest, it is clear that she is a woman.
The woman shrugged her shoulders in shock and then slowly began to turn her head. The sensation of her shaking body is transmitted throughout her entire body. The two eyes peeking out from under her hood were wide open in fear. For some reason, her necklace, a dark blue rose with the color of steel hanging around her neck, catches her eye especially.
As I quickly scanned the information with my third eye, I found myself nodding.
“indeed. Now that I think about it, you said they planted three on the southern continent as well?”
It’s as if the opponent has already been neutralized. I stretched out my left hand and grasped the slender neck, and suddenly looked up at the sky. The city, which had been noisy just a moment ago, was slowly becoming quiet. This is proof that things are being sorted out to some extent.
I looked around to see if there was a devil, but I couldn’t see the main force of the southern continent, let alone a devil. All I saw was a bunch of people distracted by looting.
Of course, you should be happy that you won, but… .
Well, I guess I’ll be satisfied with this for now. If they knew that the relief force had arrived, they would do something.
After organizing a series of thoughts, I stared at the frozen woman.

Grumble, rumble!
The castle seen from the outside was in complete shambles. The walls are broken, flames are rising from all over, and black smoke is flowing all the way to the outside of the castle, giving off an acrid smell. A fire went up in the city in the thick dusk, so much so that one could not tell whether the castle or the sky was burning.
Eldora was looking at the castle with a bitter face. The screaming had died down a while ago, but it wasn’t a very good feeling as I could guess what was happening inside.
But it is unavoidable. The southern continent’s troops that invaded the eastern continent numbered less than 20,000. Considering the reputation of Eldora and the population of the southern continent, it is undeniable that the number is quite small.
To put it bluntly, the people currently here were all users who sympathized with Eldora’s cause. This means that those who did not follow did not sympathize with Eldora’s actions. Even if the angel’s true intentions were revealed to the world, it would be unreasonable for all users to immediately accept it as if it were the same.
In the end, they came to the Eastern Continent as if running away, leaving behind the Southern Continent that was in chaos.
Of course, there were some forces that actively supported it. For example, you could use Nox or Carpe Diem.
However, they are people who only focus on the two letters of war, without even the slightest interest in the cause in the first place. I allowed one person to participate because it was a disappointing situation, but I had no choice but to loosen up their behavior to some extent.
I knew very well why they were passionate about war, and it was clear that if I limited it, they would turn their backs on it. In other words, it should be said that it is a kind of transaction.
Anyway, what remains for Eldora is the rationality of working for humans, and the belief that they will support you again if you achieve results and prove that you are right. These are the only two things. With these two causes as the driving force, Eldora was moving.
But this bitter war also ends today. The southern continent has defeated its rival, and will use this as a stepping stone to further increase its power. And now, the power of the so-called devils who look after the southern continent instead of angels is also growing. Okay, so after today… ?
At that time, Eldora’s Army, who had been contemplating for a while, frowned slightly. I thought it was almost over, but suddenly the screaming started getting louder again. And not long after, shadows appear one after another, panting and running from the broken castle wall.
“I will find out and come back.”
Edward seemed to sense something was strange and quickly ran away.
After a while.
“A counterattack?”
“Yes, yes. Suddenly, a stampede came through the warp gate… .”
The camp is quietly shaken by the news of Edward’s hasty return. Eldora blinked her eyes rapidly, but then straightened her expression and stood up from her seat.
“It looks like the North Continent relief force has arrived.”
“Northern Continent? Salvation Army?”
When Akirov asked back with a touch, Eldora nodded quietly.
“Didn’t they do that? “The angels will also act quickly, so we must occupy the eastern continent as quickly as possible.”
“her… . “Then how fast did you arrive?”
“I’m surprised, but that doesn’t matter at all.”
“Not really. So what are you going to do?”
The momentarily chaotic atmosphere calmed down in an instant. Although Eldora did not panic and maintained its focus, the Knights of the Round Table initially did not take the emergence of the North Continent too seriously.
“First, we will divide the unit into four. “Everyone, please go to the gate and secure an escape route for our troops.”
“and?”
“I will contact Melinus right away. “You said to contact us immediately if anything unusual occurs, so you must have something in mind.”
“well. I don’t know what they’re doing, but do I really need to call them? I think just us will be enough. “Tsk tsk.”
After saying that, Akirov turned around and summoned his troops. And without saying a word, he quickly disappeared into the twilight. Even while humming his song.
In fact, there was a reason why Akirov was relaxed, or rather, why the Knights of the Round Table shrugged their shoulders.
Users from the Southern Continent basically have a very strong sense of pride. Simply put, he believes that the level of the continent he belongs to is the best. Moreover, since dealing with the Eastern Continent has increased their confidence and pride, they do not take it particularly seriously when they hear the news that the Northern Continent has appeared.

To sum it up in one word: confidence.
This was the basis for Akirov running away as if he was having fun.
Akirov was running towards the nearest door with his assembled men. The closer you get to his castle, the stronger the smile on your face becomes.
In fact, Akirov complained occasionally during the war. This is because Eldora strictly controlled the Odin Clan to prevent them from acting carelessly. I wanted to satisfy my desire by participating in urban battles, but since they were not allowed to enter the chimney, let alone loot it, my dissatisfaction grew day by day.
So, I felt rather grateful that the Northern Continent appeared at the right time. I had almost given up before the last big city, but they created an entertainment district at the last minute.
Eventually, the moment the castle gate approached, Coincidentally, Akirov ran into an ally who was running away.
“Ah, Mr. Akirov!”
The group running out in a hurry fell to the ground as soon as they saw Akirov. He sighs in relief for a moment, then sighs and points behind him.
“Stand inside the castle!”
“Ah, I heard. “I heard that new monkeys have appeared?”
“Yes, yes?”
“But, really, it’s just a joke… . Tsk tsk. Even a yellow monkey can’t handle it and runs away? “Aren’t you embarrassed?”
As I scolded him in a mocking manner, the men lying down made blank expressions. But then he shook his head vigorously.
“Well, that’s not it! “They really are monsters!”
“It’s a monster.”
Akirov, interrupted again, chuckles. Then he suddenly stopped laughing, and his sad eyes shone.
“Wow, that’s really scary. … But, are they monsters? Or would I be more of a monster?”
At those words, the men fell silent. This is because I was naturally intimidated by the extremely arrogant attitude of looking down on the other person.
But ironically, I also felt a strange sense of relief. Because the user in front of me is one of the best knights in the southern continent. Above all, isn’t it a pillar that serves as an axis of the Odin Clan?
Did he feel the gaze of awe?
“Well, that could be true. “It’s a continent with a name and color, so wouldn’t there be one or two unusual monkeys?”
Akirov slowly withdraws his gaze and smiles arrogantly.
“So ordinary people like you should only deal with ordinary monkeys.”
Then he suddenly tapped the man on the shoulder,
“I will take care of the exceptional monkey.”
He began to walk with great strides inside the castle, where the flames were flowing.
