Chapter 194: Allemier (4)
There was only one thing that a person who took on the priest’s duty could do, whether it was then or now.
To believe in God and move forward.
Even if the target was called an evil god by the world, Evan Allemier’s role was always fixed.
To burn everything and follow God’s will.
He opened his mouth as he held the magic sword that he received from the heavenly God with both hands.
“——Astrape.”
Crackle.
Red sparks flew and scattered light in the air.
A fierce storm raged around Evan, who held the magic sword with both hands.
Boom!
A streak of lightning fell and drew a line in the dark space.
Evan tilted his sword beyond the beam of light that echoed with thunder.
“——Lightning Storm.”
The divine artifact of lightning that enabled him to use all kinds of magic in the thunder system emitted light.
Right after God’s wrath descended on the ground through Evan’s sword.
A huge amount of thunder energy swept and shook the ground with thunder and lightning.
The roar of the thunder dragon that tore the silence burst the air and reverberated loudly.
“——Barrier!”
The storm of lightning struck without sparing anyone.
As a priest, there was only one thing I could do, in the past and in the present.
To trust God and follow His path.
Even if the world called Him an evil god, my role as Evan Allemier never changed.
To burn everything in His name and carry out His will.
I gripped the magic sword with both hands, a gift from the heavenly God, and spoke a word.
“——Astrape.”
A crackle of red sparks lit up the air.
A fierce windstorm surrounded me, holding the magic sword tightly.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down, cutting through the darkness.
I swung my sword across the beam of light that resounded with thunder.
“——Lightning Storm.”
The divine artifact of lightning glowed, granting me access to all kinds of thunder magic.
As soon as God’s wrath hit the earth through my sword,
A massive surge of thunder swept across the land, shaking it with thunderbolts and flashes.
The thunder dragon’s roar shattered the silence, exploding in the air and echoing loudly.
“——Barrier!”
It seemed that he wanted to get out of the aftermath, and Hus, who was watching Evan, used barrier magic.
The flow of magic that took shape stayed near Hus and formed a barrier of light.
It was barrier magic used by one of the magicians who reached the peak.
It was certain that he would not even scratch it with a decent attack.
“…Hero of knowledge, Hus Allemier.”
Evan walked forward with his sword in his hand in the thunderstorm that blurred his sight.
Boom!
Every time the fallen knight took a step, a sound like thunder echoed.
Crackle!
Every time the apostle of the evil god got closer to the hero, the light of thunder spread and sparks flew in all directions.
In the shrinking distance, Evan Allemier’s sword was aiming at his only brother.
The eyes buried in the flashing thunderlight emitted a fierce aura.
“Don’t put my name in your dirty mouth!”
Hus snapped at Evan, who was approaching him, and shot him with sharp thunder magic.
But the spear of lightning that Hus shot did not reach him.
The spear of lightning that left Hus’s hand was swallowed up by the swirling thunder and became part of it.
After the spear of thunder that flew away with a faint spark disappeared, the thunderstorm that became stronger than before advanced while wrapping Evan.
“What made you a hero who trapped me is nothing but the karma that I created in the past.”
“Shut up your nonsense! I only, until now to kill you…!”
“So I don’t intend to avoid taking responsibility for it.”
Evan still moved his battered steps toward Hus with a bitter smile on his mouth.
The hero of knowledge in front of his eyes was a mirror reflecting his past self.
He was chasing the brightest place.
He was chasing the brilliant glory that made everyone in his family look up to him.
What made his younger brother admire him, what made him walk this path that he despises so much now, was all Evan’s karma.
So he intended to take responsibility for it from now on.
“——The heroic tale that you wrote down in an immature way is over now.”
Evan’s footsteps ran forward as he finished speaking.
Thud thud thud—.
A huge wing of thunder spread behind Evan’s back as he sprinted forward.
The thunderstorm that wrapped Evan became a strong wind that pushed the wings, and the lightning that struck him made the wings of light grow bigger.
Evan’s body accelerated toward Hus Allemier, scattering currents.
‘A little faster.’
Crackle.
The thunderlight that burned his soul accelerated Evan’s body even more.
The swaying darkness was dyed with light, and the rising light faded into darkness again.
The black lightning created by the great being drew a contradictory tail of light and pushed the apostle’s body forward.
‘A little more.’
The apostle of the evil god was still in the center of the storm that swept around.
His footsteps that ran on the ground were floating in the air, and only the thunder that he had piled up several times burst the air and moved forward.
The burning light led Evan forward.
Evan Allemier continued to advance in the heat that burned everything.
‘Just a little more———.’
Kwaaaaang—!
The thunder wings that had grown too big could not bear their size and burst out.
Evan felt like his ears would go deaf from the deafening explosion.
Even so, he did not stop and accelerated one more step toward the front.
“——Astrape······!”
“——Hieroglyph!”
A black flash drew a trail in the air in the collision of light and darkness.
The target of the light of darkness was only one.
It was Hus Allemier who was standing with a barrier at the end of the trail.
Facing the apostle of the evil god who was approaching at a destructive speed, Hus was holding a divine artifact in one hand.
‘Not yet··· not yet.’
In the distance that had narrowed so much that it seemed to touch if he swung his sword, Evan hesitated to swing his magic sword in his hand.
The hero in front of him could jump over space as much as he wanted.
If he missed his target with his sword swinging in the air, and Hus used the prepared magic in that gap, it was impossible to catch him.
So the opponent who swung his sword was not Hus Allemier in front of him.
He had to swing this sword attack at Hus Allemier who would get out of here and prepare magic for him in the future.
“——Teleport!”
As if to prove his expectation, Hus, who had Evan in front of him, used transference magic and hid his appearance from his eyes.
It was to deflect Evan’s attack and inflict effective damage on him.
As soon as Hus hid his appearance from his eyes, Evan immediately swung his sword and fired a prepared attack.
Evan’s magic sword swung quickly and mercilessly scraped and passed through the air.
“——Fire Storm!”
‘Now.’
The sword that swung like that was not aiming at nothing in the air.
Whip.
The sword that spun around in the air soon completely left Evan’s grip.
The target of the magic sword that left its owner’s hand was Hus Allemier floating in the air.
“A sword from your hand··· this······!”
At the sight of the magic sword flying towards him while spinning, Hus Allemier panicked and activated magic again.
There was only one magic he could use to avoid the sword.
Using the power of the divine artifact that could create multiple illusions, he chose to jump over space again. assistant Here is the edited text:
I was still at the eye of the storm, an apostle of the evil god.
My feet left the ground as I ran, propelled by nothing but layers of thunder that exploded around me.
A blazing light guided me forward.
I pressed on through the inferno that consumed everything.
‘Almost there———.’
Boom!
My thunder wings burst apart, unable to contain their enormity.
A blast rocked my ears, making me feel deaf.
But I didn’t stop. I sped up even more towards my target.
“——Astrape······!”
“——Hieroglyph!”
A black flash carved a trail in midair, where light and darkness clashed.
There was only one thing I wanted to hit with my dark light.
Hus Allemier, standing behind a barrier at the end of my path.
He held a divine artifact in one hand, facing me as I closed in with devastating speed.
‘Not yet··· not yet.’
I hesitated to swing my magic sword as I reached him. He could easily warp through space and dodge me. If I missed him and he used his prepared spell in that gap, I would never catch him again.
So I wasn’t aiming for Hus Allemier right in front of me.
I had to strike at Hus Allemier who would escape from here and ready his magic against me.
“——Teleport!”
As if confirming my guess, Hus vanished from my sight with a transference spell.
He wanted to avoid my attack and hurt me back.
But I was faster. I swung my sword and unleashed my own spell.
My magic sword sliced through the air with ruthless force.
“——Fire Storm!”
‘Now.’
My sword wasn’t swinging at empty air.
Whip.
It spun out of my hand and flew towards its target.
Hus Allemier, hovering in the air.
“A sword from your hand··· this······!”
He saw the magic sword coming at him and panicked. He cast another spell to evade it.
There was only one option for him.
He used the divine artifact that could create multiple illusions and tried to jump through space once more.
Hus hid his figure from the trajectory of the spinning magic sword, and right after that, he showed himself again in a different location.
“——Te, teleport!”
“——Tempest.”
The moment Hus showed himself floating in the air after transferring.
Evan activated the magic he had prepared beforehand as if he had been waiting.
Tempest. An ice magic that freezes the air around.
The miracle that was reproduced by borrowing the power of God revealed itself to the world and collided with the flame power that was clenched in Hus’s hand.
In Evan’s calculation that was rushing with thunder, Hus’s figure avoiding the sword was also drawn.
Hus’s voice echoed in the air at Evan’s unexpected magic.
“Suddenly tempest··· what······!”
“——Astrape.”
“Keeuk······!”
But all Hus could do without magic ready was to spit out a doubtful voice while looking at the mixed power.
Kwaaang—!
The ice power and the flame power collided in the air, and a large crack was made in the barrier that protected Hus.
He didn’t get hurt because he had wrapped the barrier beforehand, but his body that didn’t touch the ground could never be free from that influence.
“Euk··· te, tele······!”
Hus’s body bounced off in one direction in the collision of cold and heat.
And behind him was Evan who was still running with thunder.
Evan reached out his hand with a gauntlet to Hus who was flying towards him.
Kwaduk.
The curved barrier was firmly caught by the gauntlet that had nothing in it.
“I’ve been waiting for you, Hus.”
Evan’s eyes stained with thunder looked at Hus in front of him.
Hero. The second of Allemier family. Cloud’s second-class investigator. Dull magician.
The memories of his blood relatives that he had faced so far passed through Evan’s head.
Evan fixed Hus Allemier who was caught in his hand with thunder power.
This was the only responsibility he chose for his family.
“What are you going to do··· aak······!”
Evan’s hand stuck Hus to the ground with a barrier.
Evan’s wings that still didn’t slow down were running through the storm.
Hus’s barrier that was pushed forward towards the front rubbed against the ground as it touched it.
Kwaddddddddduk!
Light and heat spread from his hand and a flash of light cut through and passed the ground.
“——Astrape.”
Zzak. Zzajak.
Hus’s barrier that ran through the dirt and rocks began to crack.
The huge crack that was created by the collision of two magics had grown to an irreparable size.
Yet Evan, who had caught him, was still running at a speed beyond his senses.
Evan shouted at Hus in the shock wave that shook his ears.
“Pray, Hus Allemier······!”
Evan’s voice was buried in the tearing atmosphere and not properly delivered.
But Hus Allemier who was caught in his hand understood his intention exactly.
There was no time to prepare a new magic for transference.
At this moment, the barrier that protected him was slowly collapsing.
There was no longer a way for the hero of knowledge to overcome this situation.
“Lift your head and revere the sky. And——!”
Zzak! Kwaddddddddduk—!
The friction sound of the barrier that flowed through the air in the splitting air was conveyed to Evan as a pleasant sound at this moment.
Hus’s distorted face appeared in his sight beyond the collapsing barrier.
The hero in the old story was now screaming in his grip with a powerless look.
Writing a story was not only allowed to those who qualified as heroes.
It was not because he became a hero that he performed feats.
Everyone showed him respect for his feats.
-“Accept your fate.”
Accept your fate.
Evan laughed at the familiar voice of the evil god.
A predetermined fate.
What is the fate given to him?
The power began to drain from Evan’s hand that clenched Hus.
“I am······.”
He had lived glorious days.
But there was no glory at the end of that road.
In the end of that long ordeal, what he chose was a path that denied everything.
He was not a knight now.
He was not an inquisitor now.
And he was now———
“I am··· Evan Allemier, the second apostle!”
Kwaaang—!
The light of faith collapsed.
