Chapter 227: Confront
Commander-in-Chief Hoyeol joined the battle.
Safely rescuing the last civilian.
And advancing forward.
There was no such a thing as retreating for the Holy War Allied Force, whose morale was extremely high.
The Knights of Lionheart and the Paladins of the Goddess Church skillfully swept off the battlefield. As they cleared the way from the vanguard, players joined in.
Push non-stop!
Who those bastards think they are!
Stay quietly inside the castle!
Wolf was speechless at the fierce charge.
Our commander is amazing.
Even if the shadow mercenaries were considered as an exception for doing whatever they pleased.
Leading someone was never easy.
Especially on a battlefield where you had to risk your life.
The efficacy of loyalty didnt last long.
But the Holy War was different.
This is beyond leadership.
It was a step further than that.
Everyone voluntarily displayed their will to fight.
No matter how overwhelming their force was.
Injuries were inevitable on the battlefield.
But even those who got hurt refused to retreat.
Someone was actually smiling.
Tch, I feel like Ive finally gotten rid of my debt.
This must be the pride he was always talking about.
Wolf smiled bitterly.
Pride, it sounded like a talk that was far removed from him.
But that didnt seem to be the case for the lowest seat, Lakid.
Move. Move. Ill take care of that bastard!
At first glance, it seemed like he was going wild because he was crazy about achievements.
Wolfs keen eyes examined the adventurer that Lakid had pushed away.
If Lakid had not stepped forward, the adventurer would have suffered fatal injury.
Youve become quite soft, Lakid.
Was Lakid being considerate of the injured because he himself had been seriously injured?
Was he less dirty because he was the lowest seat?
Or was it because he really had pride in his heart?
Wolf didnt know and didnt want to know.
Lets just say this is unbelievable and carry on.
Wolfs musings didnt last long.
Crash
Push
Crossbow bolts rained down as much as the enemies that poured in.
Even if he didnt have a pride, he was a mercenary.
Regardless of his purpose, he had to pay for his meals according to his employers will.
Charge!
It wasnt long before the Holy War Allied Force entered the Demon Kings Castle.
The demons would also fight with determination to stop their advance.
A different scene than he had expected unfolded.
What is this?
Silence came to the Demon Kings castle, which had been full of shouting.
Harkon, who was leading from the front, opened his mouth.
Everyone, halt!
The demons didnt disappear.
The Allied Forces were directly facing the Demon Kings great army face-to-face.
What was strange was their reaction.
Harkon shouted again as if to confirm.
Are you sure we dont have a mage?
Thats right.
I think its true that theres no mage except me
Sneak
Except for Pimby, who was raising his staff, there were no other mages.
Then what did this mean?
What
Are they strangling themselves with their own hands?
!!!
It was as Harkon said.
It wasnt just silence.
Tuk
Tutuk
Rattle
The demons dropped their weapons and shields and grabbed their necks with both hands. One by one, they fell to their knees on the floor without even making a wheezing sound, let alone shouting.
Captain?
Yesica sought Harkons opinion.
Since their opponent was a demon, they couldnt let their guard down.
According to principle, they should have taken advantage of the demons collapse and quickly won the battle.
Standby.
However, this was a strange battlefield that not even Harkon had experienced.
Naturally.
It was a scene that the players and the Arcanains common sense could not understand.
Leonie opened her mouth.
I-Its not just one or two of them!
Tens of thousands.
To be exact, there were 70 thousand of them.
The named monster and the demon army commanders were no exception.
All the demons were so panicked that they couldnt even fight back.
They were paralyzed by something more fearful than their own blades.
Hisagi muttered as he looked at the towering castle.
Is this also his ability
That was the only possibility he could think of.
To Hisagis knowledge.
There was only one being who could make seventy thousand demons tremble with fear.
Only Hoyeol could.
But, then
It seems the emotions hes feeling are being conveyed.
If the usual Hoyeol was always the same.
There seemed to be a quiet anger coming from Hoyeol now.
But it was understandable.
Looking back on what the demons did.
Not only did they disturb the regular conference.
They even put civilians at risk.
And one last reason
They had been screaming loudly in a manner that went against formality.
There was also the fact that they shouted an unknown word Claudie.
Hisagi nodded.
I also understood that feeling.
So he wouldnt hesitate either.
Clang
Hisagi advanced, dragging his spear.
The Allies wont show mercy to the demons.
He swung the spear without hesitation with narrowed eyes.
Starting with Hisagi.
Those who had stopped began to move again.
Hoyeol-ssi
What on earth is going on, Sir Hoyeol!
Dont be distracted, focus on the battle in front of you.
While trying to turn a blind eye to the caste where Hoyeol and the Demon King were facing each other.
.
.
.
Mage Tower.
Crystal Hall.
As expected, Bensch made a fuss.
W-What else is that?! Nasrow, isnt that your field?
The demons were strangling themselves with their own hands!
He could only guess it was an illusion magic.
But Nasrow shook his head.
Yes, at first glance, you might mistake it for illusion magic.
Its not illusion magic.
No? Why? Isnt it possible for you to manifest illusion magic like that? You were a prodigy in illusion magic!
Senior Bensh, think back on what you once told me.
Huh, what I told you?
Your evaluation of the illusion magic.
Bensch was a very talkative person.
Evaluation of illusion magic
It sounded like an assessment that seemed to hit close to home.
As Bensch pondered, Nasrow spoke of his own accord.
It consumes an unnecessarily extreme amount of mana.
No, did I say that?
I remember it clearly.
Nasrows words were meant to take a jab at him.
Fire magic boasted the worst magic efficiency among attribute magic. He remembered it because he had been so shocked to hear it from the Senior of Fire Magic, Bensch.
Bensch mumbled and opened his mouth.
Well, I was a little immature at the time
I didnt say it to get an apology. Because its true.
Then what do you mean?
Because the senior mage of enchantment got kicked around a lot.
She unintentionally became quick-witted.
Kiko Armin continued.
Its not really illusion magic
Nasrow suddenly rose from his seat and spoke.
Thats right. Thats not illusion magic. Regardless of the amount of magic or manifestation power you have, it is magically impossible. I can assure you that even if it is Chief Lee Hoyeol
Nasrow had a point.
Banglets eyes shook.
His vision for capturing magic was as good as his ability to perceive magic.
I dont see any visible mana in the area.
If it was really an illusion magic that deceived tens of thousands of demons.
There would have been uncontrollable mana flowing through the area of Demon Kings Castle.
Marcelo looked at the cat, the Tower Master.
Its like the illusion magic that the Tower Masters body manifested.
Then what was it for?
Marcelo.
Even the Tower Master was scratching his head with his hind legs.
In the moment when no one could guess the cause of that strange phenomenon.
Only Matis gently closed his eyes.
Its black magic.
Matis looked at his hand.
A magic tool that was responsive to the right mana.
The ring was stained black and cracked.
Matis realized it once again.
Even though were not directly facing each other.
He was simply looking at an illusion image projected by magic.
And yet an immeasurable level of right mana destroyed the magic tool.
Matis swallowed.
Sir Hoyeol, what on earth are you
Right mana originated from the past and background.
What kind of past have you been through?
Matis didnt dare to guess.
No, he didnt even want to.
Because Matis was the founder of black magic, he knew better than anyone else the dangers of right mana. Therefore, he was just concerned.
If the past flows back.
If Sir Hoyeol became blackened because of that.
There would be unpredictable consequences in the aftermath.
Therefore
I know this may be rude. But.
That kind of past.
It was a kind of past that no one besides Hoyeol could endure.
He was glad that it was Sir Hoyeol, not anyone else, who experienced it.
How dare I, Matis, think like that.
.
.
.
More than anything, I really needed them to shut up.
All of a sudden, they kept shouting Claudie.!
The name would have already resonated throughout the world, including the Mage Tower.
But I couldnt just ignore it, right?
They might take a step further and recite the full name.
Even if I can put up with everything else, that fucking name Romeo!
On TV, in the news, and in the community.
It would roll all day long.
To hell with pride, I would be so ashamed that I wouldnt have the confidence to walk around with my head held up! So, I manifested black magic, Black Tube. The demons, including the Demon King Andras, were not allowed to use their senses.
And now.
If he had been quick-witted, he would have noticed from my words.
The fact that I was the Claudie hed been looking for.
So I showed up like this.
I am telling you, why did you come looking at me by mentioning that name?
Needless to say, I wasnt the one who had to answer.
Exorcism: Invites the demon to the consciousness.
In the space of consciousness, we could have a conversation even if he didnt have his senses.
I asked Andras, who was trembling with fear.
No, I interrogated him.
Its not a name a bastard who doesnt know his place would know.
Tell me where you heard that name.
Was I a bit mean?
But, honestly, I should be mad.
Grrgh
Andras foamed at his beak.
Was he already gone into shock when I hadnt even started a proper interrogation?
His condition was so bad that I wondered if I could get the answer I wanted this way.
Still, Andras continued to say the same thing.
I heard from great evil Great evil
Great evil?
Yeah, it was not for no reason that the name caught his attention.
Anyway, demons were really loose-lipped.
They were good at that.
As expected, you did a good job of stopping him from talking, Hoyeol.
After a moment of self-praise, I continued to ask more questions.
Which of the six.
Seven Deadly Sins.
Among them, Greed was put into hell with my own hands, so it was true that there were six of them.
From Andras point of view, this was a story that must be kept hidden.
However, no matter how hard he tried, it would be impossible to keep his beak closed.
What kind of space was the consciousness in exorcism?
I had control over the consciousness.
If I asked, he had no choice but to answer.
G-G-Glutton.!
Spurt
Andras coughed out blood from his mouth.
It seemed they had signed a contract to keep it a secret.
Anyway, whether its a great evil or a demon king.
There was a saying that those who have more would want more.
So, should I say this is fortunate?
I was familiar with Gluttony of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The day when I received heavenly luck with the sirens blessing.
I witnessed Gluttony through the [Evil Eyes Telescope].
Well, since demons possessed people on a daily basis, their appearance was meaningless.
Even so, I was a demon hunter.
If I ever ran into him, I might be able to sense him.
By the way.
Naturally, I had questions.
Gluttony, that damn name
No, the name Claudie, how did he know it?
How come I only have endless questions?
I swallowed my regret and looked back on my memories.
Wait a minute.
I remembered.
The day when I had received heavenly luck.
The only question I had left.
Yeah.
The Elder Dragon, Eunaxus.
The Elf clan led by Argentress.
The Transcendent, Urus.
The Seven Deadly Sin, Gluttony.
A bomb that looked like it would explode at any moment.
I remembered the transcendent on the broom who had sorted out the situation.
Then questions began to interlock.
!
Skals Dragon Knight class quest.
It had stated the great family.
And at this moment.
Andras said he heard the name Claudie.
From Gluttony who had been present there.
Soon, I came to a conclusion.
That mess was sorted out with Claudies name?!
