Chapter 617
Chapter 617
Among the Kingdom Alliance, not as many stories are known about the Demon God’s Hero, Eldmia Ega.
It may be hard to believe for those who know the scale of the incidents he has committed and involved, but it was an unavoidable fact. In the first place, there was nothing to do with anything except for a brief staggering at the imperial academy, so it was because he didn’t listen to rumors about what he did, whether he became a hero or a hero somewhere else.
At the very least, among the beings that could be used as a target for comparison, the closest one was Siegfried, a warrior who grew up under the protection of the Empire and was ordained by Ete of Light. And even the information about Siegfried hadn’t been updated since the day the academy publicly disclosed it.
It’s not that I ignored the exceptional hero’s prowess. I just underestimated it. Based on such information and judgment, the threat of the demons was also taken lightly, and furthermore, they did not even try to know the details, and the result of just fighting over rice bowls among themselves continued until now.
Knowing the existence and influence of fire dragons that exist in the plains beyond the Western Kingdom, he ridiculed rumors that he had caught dragons, saying that he must have caught only dragons that lived a little longer.
Because he prided himself on knowing the limits of individual mortals, he heard rumors that he had crossed the continent to save the demonic religion persecuted by the demon king’s army by blood and blood, and threw a scolding at him for writing too grandiose a script for a play.
No matter how brave he was, he knew the information that he had just passed the age of majority, so he believed that 300 elite soldiers would be enough to capture him.
But above all, I believed that the warrior would have a desire to protect his own reputation, so he calculated that it would not cause great harm to the soldiers who only wanted to carry out the arrest order without committing a crime.
No matter how brave he is, he is still a human. Even the hero Siegfried did not show any objection to subjugating monsters, but there were also reports that he hesitated when dealing with people. It was believed that the reluctance to kill that the fact that they were of the same species would become a shackle that could never be overlooked as a warrior representing God.
“Bind the Demon God’s Hero!”
Because the story was told to the soldiers in advance, the soldiers who listened to the commander’s orders were unstoppable. Although they were very nervous because they knew that there could be no damage as the opponent was their opponent, they clearly displayed their skills as usual and moved according to the strategy.
No matter how long and long the knight may fly, he believed that since the siege had already been completed, he had no choice but to break into a cold sweat.
What caused a crack in the atmosphere, where only slight tension had lingered, was the simultaneous screams of the soldiers.
“Aagh!!”
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaagh?!”
Until the moment when something was rapidly fired from Eldmia’s waist, there was no confusion among the soldiers. It was rare even to be aware of exactly what was being shot. However, the needles of Eldmia shattered the shields and armor of the soldiers and threw out wind holes faster than they could understand the situation.
“It’s a red raid! It’s a surprise attack!”
“Where are you! Where do you… break the bow!?”
The operation of the needle, which had become much more sophisticated through the trip with Emmet, was not at a level that soldiers without an aura could cope with. Only the commander and his escorts were the ones who figured out the identity of the projectile that even the Demon King’s army would die without even using their hands if they were attacked by surprise.
But even that was considered as a surprise attack by a third party other than Eldmia. None of them had even thought that it was an attack from Eldmia, who not only couldn’t move in place, but showed no response to the sudden burst of music.
“Even when I only had my body and a sword, I was the one who pierced through the knights and troops under that cowardly son of Envelde.”
Even the moment I saw a needle rise next to Eldmia’s head as she chanted so calmly, amid screams and unidentifiable penetrating sounds from all directions.
“If you wanted to try to arrest me, you should have at least filled up the number of Aura Experts, not regular soldiers.”
Accurately drawing a circular trajectory centered on Eldmia, all the needles that pierced the soldiers whirled away and flew through the air with Eldmia in between.
It flew so slowly compared to the speed it had returned that it was hard to believe that the needle-like projectile had caused the horrors just before, but the blood dripping from the air forced the allied forces to face reality.
The blood splashing out due to the centrifugal force is terrifying.
“The level is too low, so give it one more chance. The commander kneels, and the knights go head-to-head. Then I’ll consider you to have surrendered.”
And Eldmia, at the center of it, looked like a demon king rather than a hero.
It wasn’t even minutes, it was only seconds, and most of the closest soldiers who maintained the siege collapsed. The soldiers became terrified and began to lay down their weapons in an instant, but the commander and the escort knights standing to protect him were unable to react immediately because of the complicated spinning heads.
Wizards can face armies. But even they are not invincible. Because magic to deal with the army requires a lot of preparation.
A strong person who has reached the master level can do the same. The moment they jump into the gap between the army, it’s not the army besieging the master, but the master attacking the army.
But no one can neutralize an army in this way without warning.
“Sounds like nothing!”
Rather, Eldmia would have been convinced if he hadn’t been able to follow the movement with his eyes because he was a skill comparable to the master’s level. However, because the troops were trampled with only that unknown artifact, the commander and other talented people rather gnashed their teeth.
“attack!”
It was only natural that they drew their swords as everyone had promised, just by shouting at the commander. They believed in their skills, and also believed in the performance of the talisman containing the blessing of an arrow shield to prepare for projectiles.
Fifteen knights, including the commander, rushed towards Eldmia while releasing their aura. At the same time, the projectiles that were roaming around Eldmia flew in, aiming for their heads at an incomparable speed.
The first to respond to the attack was the adjutant. Wanting to go forward and become the commander’s shield, he raised his sword while staring straight at the flying needle.
I had no intention of ignorantly blocking the attack that pierced the soldiers in an instant. It just flows away at the same time as it collides. Perhaps because of the tension that reached the limit, the adjutant, who was able to distinguish even the tip of the projectile aiming at his forehead, raised his sword with confidence, even the moment the needle hit the sword, the adjutant did not show his judgment and ability. I didn’t doubt it.
– Jjaeong!
And without a moment to be astonished, along with the broken sword and the rushing shock, he fell backwards like a person stepping on something slippery.
There wasn’t even time to scream. The adjutant pierced the back of his head to the floor, and then the projectile that didn’t stop smashing his sword flew straight to pierce his head, and even the arrow shield that was activated to block it couldn’t overcome the shock, and his body was shattered by the shock. It was understandable that his upper body was bent backwards and he miraculously survived.
He would have never been able to understand it if he hadn’t seen the sight of an escort running behind him clutching at his own neck, blood gushing out with a bewildered look on his face.
The fact that he did not lie still was thanks to his instincts that had been inscribed in his body through various battlefields. However, suppressing the feeling of nausea, twisting the body somehow, looking at the front was ghastly.
Eldmia didn’t even swing her sword. Rather, it was clear that he had even put the sword in his hand back. Nevertheless, the commander and all of the escorts, who would have rushed in with him, were lying on the ground.
Doesn’t even flinch. It was said that everyone died, unlike himself who survived by chance.
“No matter what I do, I start with the commander.”
Now, in the middle of wondering if I was dreaming of a scene I couldn’t believe or understand, Eldmia opened her mouth again and took her first steps.
“It was my own consideration that I didn’t do that this time. The first time I talked about tying up, I was going to kill all the people who came to me… but in the end, you guys are just objects that only follow orders, right? That’s why the soldiers didn’t even bother looking for vital points.”
It was an unpleasant mistake, but it was.
Eldmia’s footsteps approached, crossing over the corpses of the already dead commander and escort, and stopped in front of her breathless adjutant. I already thought he was big, but now that I’m in a position to look up at him in this situation, even Eldmia’s calm expression makes me feel afraid.
“But even after seeing the result, they rushed at it, so this time I was thinking of killing at least the commanding staff.
Less than 5 minutes had passed since the declaration of arrest.
“But it’s a coincidence, but one person survived. No matter how much I think about it, you seem to be the only superior in this unit… What do you want to do?”
In that short time, 300 soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and the commander and escort knights were destroyed.
“I will surrender.”
The adjutant clearly understood that this was his last chance to live, and answered like a knife.
It was an answer without any regret or hesitation.
