Even for a magician with immortality, the heart and brain are fatal vital points.
The brain was where the soul resided, and the heart was the source of life force. Even if only one of the two is destroyed, more than half of its regenerative ability is lost.
But in Necator’s case, it was more than that.
“You really?!”
Leon’s eyes widened.
Does not play.
Even if it was a fatal wound, there was no way that the Exorcist’s external technique could be neutralized by piercing the heart once, but Necator’s body, which had lost his heart, was dying quickly.
The reason was simple.
“…Didn’t you gain immortality? “From the beginning?”
“okay.”
“why?”
Necator spat out the bloody spit and answered.
“It’s not fun, right? In a fight, there is always a winner and a loser, and the loser dies or is taken away. “That’s the only rule, so why fight if you don’t intend to follow even that?”
“You’re crazy.”
“What’s new?”
Necator laughed at one word from Leon.
It was indeed as he said.
Being able to think rationally and communicate with language did not change the essence. Necator’s true nature is that he cannot feel his life unless he is in the midst of struggle and slaughter.
Therefore, even when faced with the person who took his life, he is convinced that it is a natural ending for the loser.
“I wanted to enjoy it more if possible, but I guess that’s where I’m at. It’s your victory. Even if you don’t hit its head, it will die quickly, but if you want to cut it, do whatever you want.”
It was a voice so reassuring that I didn’t know who the loser was.
Maybe this ending was exactly what he wanted.
Creepy.
It was then.
The tension that had relaxed for a moment due to Necator’s expression of letting go of everything returned as a chill that would freeze my spine.
A fleeting moment.
Only Leon raised his sword in response to the unexpected blow.
Wow!
Leon, who was blown tens of meters by the tremendous impact, barely managed to right himself. I put my feet in and tried to stop it, but two lines of deep furrows were left on the ground.
This was not done by Necator, who was dying.
When Leon looked in the direction he had flown from, he saw Necator glaring at his arm with a bored expression on his face.
The right arm is stained jet black.
It was .
“I’m not dead yet? “Isn’t this a breach of contract?”
Was it because of a contract to offer it after death?
Recognizing Necator’s fatal wound, the Asura power ‘Yukbi’ immediately moved to steal the body.
…claud…claud…
The hole in the middle of my body is filling up.
As if replacing a broken heart, a mass of darkness fills the place, and the jet black flowing through the cardiovascular system paints the entire body black, reconstructing it as a non-human being.
Asura tribe.
It was the moment when the ruling race of the monster Surado, considered the highest among transcendental species existing in the outer dimension, was about to be born.
“Holy shit! I’m doing something ugly with my body. I’m sorry, but please kill me quickly! Otherwise, I think we’ll end up doing something like Resurrection Match!”
Necator also tried to suppress his body somehow, but control of his body, which even his heart had been eaten, had already been taken over by .
Even if you rush the attack clumsily, it will block and dodge autonomously.
Leon also had not recovered all the strength he had spent.
‘El Cid! ‘Is there any way to think of something?!’
[does not exist. You and your group are already exhausted to the limit. It’s not something that can happen if you squeeze it out.]
So, El Cid said with a sigh.
[Be sure to thank the lady.]
“What?”
It was right after that.
A pillar of sacred light fell from the distant sky. Even Necator was unable to avoid or block it and was swept away by the majesty, and his body, which had been transformed into an Asura, burned fiercely.
?Execution of Divine Punishment?.
The sacred law that brings the light of the goddess into this world and banishes beings from the outer dimension crushed Necator.
“Elahan!?”
As if responding to Leon’s voice, Ellahan landed on the ground.
Quang!
I must have come in such a hurry that sweat is dripping from behind my tattered armor. Even Ellahan, whose recovery ability was ridiculous thanks to his enormous divine power, was out of breath.
Nevertheless, the flow of does not stop.
Even with her overlapping hands trembling, she shouted at Necator, who was caught in the pillar of light.
“To the evil bishop Necator!”
The power of was truly incredible.
Surawan, which had encroached on Nekator, lost its influence and was on the verge of being exiled to Sura Island. However, the soul of Necator, who had sold the afterlife, could not be free.
If Surawan is completely banished, his soul will also fall to Sura Island.
So Ellahan offered the last lifeline.
“Determine yourself! “If you end your own life even now, you can save your soul!”
Even Necator was speechless and dumbfounded, then burst into laughter and shook his head.
“No, don’t ask. Even if you save someone like me, there is no way to repay your kindness. Because like that friend said, I was not supposed to be born as a human being.”
It was his true intentions without a single lie.
From birth to death, Necator continued to feel uncomfortable.
Respect your parents, be kind to your friends, trust your colleagues, and love your lover. It was impossible for any human being to understand an act that was so natural. I couldn’t feel anything.
The power in my grasp was everything in life, and I didn’t feel alive unless I was destroying others.
Can a being like that be called a human being?
“That one suits a guy like me better. If you really want to save me, just leave me alone.”
Eventually, as a dimensional gap opened due to ‘Execution of Divine Punishment’, ‘Surawan’ began to be pushed back to where it was supposed to be.
Necator followed suit and was dragged into the outer dimension.
He waved his only remaining hand and said goodbye.
“Well, take care of the rest. “I’m going?”
It wasn’t something he should say when he was exiled to an outer dimension, but he left with a relieved face until the end.
When the light of faded, there was no one there.
This was the end that Necator, the second-highest ranking member of the Evil Church, faced.
Everyone was silent.
The one who broke the calm atmosphere was Dominic, who finally disarmed the ‘Sacred Barrier’ and fell.
“Cardinal!”
Everyone rushed to check on his condition.
As the healing method unfolded, Anna’s face became confused as she looked inside.
“Luckily, my life will be saved, but I won’t be able to go to the front lines anymore. The price of ‘sacrifice’ was too great.”
“That can’t be possible…”
Just blocking Necator’s decisive battle, , and surviving was itself a miraculous achievement.
Thanks to this, Anna’s holy law was maintained and Karen was able to outmaneuver Necator with the ‘Jet Black Dance’. The person who struck the final blow was Leon, but his achievements would be second to none.
While Anna was taking care of Dominic, Leon asked Ellahan about the whole story that led to this point.
“Thank you for your help. “What happened to the fight at the gate?”
“That—”
Ellahan began his short explanation.
* * *
The great battle that took place on the walls of the imperial capital Karelum ultimately ended in the victory of the five.
It was an ending that seemed natural.
Garbaldi’s head fell off with the crushing weapon, and Granger with the dual swords rolled around on the ground with only his upper body remaining. Robin was the only one left alive and holding his one-armed body together. It was like he was practically incapacitated when he lost an arm.
“…It is pointless to resist any longer. Surrender, Robin.”
Walter said, holding his sword to Robin’s neck. Blood trickled down from the palm of my hand clutching the hilt of the sword. It was because I overexerted myself with several fingers blown off.
It was a 3-on-5 fight, but the process was by no means smooth.
The masters, who were not in their right mind, went beyond their own physical limits and went on a rampage, attacking with methods that even Dongguijin did not care about. It’s not just Walter. Thanks to the , all of the personnel except Ellahan, who was not seriously injured, were tattered in various ways.
“I can’t surrender. I am bound by a contract. “If you’re going to subdue me, it would be a good idea to at least put a restraint on me.”
“You didn’t fight voluntarily.”
“That’s the same for those friends.”
Robin looked at the corpses of Garbaldi and Granger with bitter eyes. The situation in which he was betrayed by the imperial family to which he had devoted all his loyalty and reduced to a puppet of an evil cult was truly pitiful.
The only reason he had his reason left was to use it thoroughly as a command tower.
Even as a bowman, he was much stronger at preserving his reason.
“Then why did you become their limb? Even if had come forward, there would have been no means to make the masters obey. Otherwise, the evil church would have attacked the masters a long time ago.”
“Half right and half wrong.”
Robin answered Walter’s question with a dry face.
“There were no means, but there were some ways. “Something like holding relatives or lovers and disciples hostage.”
Even if you were someone like Cedric who worked alone, the masters of the empire’s prestigious families all had a lot to protect.
In the case of Grania, it was no different.
They target people around them, not the Master himself, and manipulate them to suit the tastes of the evil cult under the pretext of having no choice. Even the imperial family participated in the scheme, so the threatened masters had no room to do anything other than resist.
At that time, Adela suddenly intervened and asked Robin.
“Don’t go round and round, but quickly tell me the fake story they told you to confess to. “I still don’t have time.”
Walter and Cedric didn’t know what they were talking about so they just tilted their heads, but Robin calmly agreed to what they said.
The evil church knew.
What kind of information will they try to get out by subduing and interrogating Robin, the only one remaining sane?
“They said to tell me that the hostages are being held in one of the villas in the northern district of Karelum… Were you expecting it?”
“I thought Morse would be that bastard.”
Adela’s face turned cold as she spat out blood.
It had to be that way.
Walter, who was listening to the two people talking from behind, cautiously intervened.
“It’s a trap. In this situation, teaching them the location of the hostages would have been a ploy to lure the three of them. “You can’t go over it.”
“I know. It’s more likely a trap. About 90%?”
Even as Adela said that, she decided on her own course.
“Still, we will go. I have no choice but to go. Morse knows that too, so he’s faking it. “If the hostages are really held there and die, the name of the church and the goddess will fall to the ground.”
“Foolish! “I plan to go even though I know it’s a trap!”
“Yes, it is.”
Irexana responded to Valther’s shout with a soft smile.
“The cow is sacrificed for the greater good. The Holy Church also follows that policy, but the amount of ‘small’ sacrifice that can be made is limited, up to and including one’s own life. “There is no member of the church so shameless that they leave others to die and shamelessly use the word ‘sacrifice.’”
There is no room for compromise.
Sensing the gap, Walter gave up persuading and turned towards the direction of Fermat’s army with Robin, whom he had restrained.
Cedric also seemed to have no intention of jumping into the fire pit on his own, so he headed towards the castle wall where the battle was still going on. It seemed like he was planning on stabbing the soldiers who had been transformed into immortals.
In the end, only three members of the Holy Church remained.
“Saint.”
“yes?”
Ellahan tilted his head at Irexana’s call.
“Go first. “Please stay by the warrior’s side and give us strength.”
“yes?! But I can’t leave you two alone…”
“You’ve really grown up a lot since I haven’t seen you, cutie, huh? Are you worried about us all?”
Adela abruptly interrupted Ellahan who was trying to object and expressed her opinion by giggling.
You don’t have to come.
You have other things to do.
Ellahan, who guessed what that meant, looked like he was going to cry, but soon returned to his stern face and answered with all his might.
“All right. “I will seek the help of the warrior. May the Goddess’ protection follow your path ahead.”
“Yes, please take care of the warrior.”
“Please take care of yourselves and let’s meet again in good health?”
After exchanging a few words of farewell, Ellahan rushed into the castle with the force of a cannonball.
Adella and Irexana watched with proud faces and walked towards the place Robin had pointed out.
Into the trap prepared by Bishop Mors of Chaos.
