Chapter 579 – To Shine (1) #PART1
What does it take to be able to use whatever you have at the right time?
Well, there are many things.
The most important is listening.
‘Grandfell, you shouldn’t only open your ears when you need to.’
I didn’t skim over Cheolmin Nam’s briefing.
Of course, there was a real reason I listened.
Once again, it was his damn full name……!
‘Mosaic saved me from shame.’
Anyway, in the process of listening, we got information that a Great Monster had been spotted on the Arcana continent, and Nam Cheolmin had told us what it looked like.
“According to eyewitnesses, it’s quite a strange creature! It’s an eight-headed snake, and at first glance, it may resemble a snake with eight heads, reminiscent of Medusa, but more than that……. ”
It’s obvious that Medusa has a different aura.
Let’s see, what did you say its name was?
Eventually, with my poor memory.
A name that can never be uttered comes out.
“Great Yokai of the Valley of Blood, the Cruel God Killer Eight-headed Viper.”
Indeed, you are more certain about the latter than anyone else.
Our Grandfell.
No matter how long the name, he never forgets the name of the one who made his efforts go in vainn.
“……What are you talking about all of a sudden, Commander?”
Harkon’s expression is puzzled.
It’s obvious that he doesn’t even realize that what I just said was the name of a Great Monster, but I don’t need to explain it twice.
gugugugugung
The turbulence I felt as soon as I stepped through the portal and touched down on the Arcana continent.
The tingling sensation that ran up and down my legs.
The intimidating feeling of a great monster that had surpassed a thousand levels.
Harkon must have gotten the hint.
“All troops, prepare for mounted combat!”
Clang.
At Harkon’s shout, the knights place their hands on the sigil of the Order of the Lionheart on their shoulder pads. Their respective warhorses appear with a glow of magic.
Hihihiing.
It’s quite a sight to behold, isn’t it?
It’s not for nothing that they say it’s better to face a blank slate.
Enchantment using subspace.
Naturally, only the Magic Tower can do such a thing. Even without my orders, this would have been absolutely impossible. It was a moment when I shrugged my shoulders, thinking that it was of some help.
Harkon spoke up.
“I will do as the Commander in Chief wishes.”
Huh?
“Advance all troops!”
You know what, Harkon.
‘That’s my will?’
I haven’t even said anything yet.
How are you going to accept it without even asking what it means? Aren’t you more curious than that? Why did you lead the Lionheart Knights to such a dangerous Great Monster?
I thought you recognized the meaning in my eyes.
Nod.
Harkon shook his head and continued speaking.
“I will certainly sacrifice my life.”
No, so the mercenaries are like that, and what are you willing to do to sacrifice your life?!
I don’t need that kind of loyalty!
That thing with the big name must be quite powerful among the Great Monsters, why, I told you that even in the East Continent, which is as full of powerful people as the Arcana Continent, it was untouchable.
‘Even with the presence of the Sunrise Warrior.’
The Sunrise Warrior is a transcendent.
With him, I tracked him down.
The Lightning Child was also a transcendent of considerable skill.
‘Even those two were unable to stop its advance.’
Perhaps Harkon realized this intuitively, too. Even if the entire army of the Knights of the Lionheart rushed at it, victory might not be assured.
They might lose their lives.
But.
I spoke clearly.
“It’s an illusion, Harkon.”
I made a promise to myself!
That I would no longer overlook the illusion.
Is it because it’s the first time I’ve said something like this?
“An illusion, what do you mean, Commander-in-Chief……? ”
Harkon looked a little surprised.
But shouldn’t we fix what needs to be corrected?
First of all, I am not mistaken.
“I’m not asking for loyalty at the cost of your life.”
“I just want to see you.”
If it were you, Grandfell, what would you have done in this situation?
Let me try to reason with my 70% understanding.
Grandfell, if it were you.
You, Claudi’s head of the family.
This time too, you probably tried to take on everything on your own.
‘Because you have the ability to do so.’
But I, Lee Hoyeol, opened my mouth.
“I want to see you grow and move forward.”
I think your pride would have found me unacceptable. It’s not your style to leave tasks to others that you can handle on your own, Grandfell.
‘But watch me.’
I’ve learned from experience.
By staying still.
Just depend on someone.
The fact that you can’t do anything.
Even if.
‘Even if it’s just a small step.’
If you keep taking steps, you can move forward even if it’s just a small step.
I know this from experience.
So hang in there, even if it’s annoying.
“…..!”
Harkon’s pupils fluttered at my words.
I can’t fully imagine what he was feeling.
Anyway, this is my first time saying this.
‘That’s a little bit strange.’
While I was feeling awkward, I suddenly remembered something.
Wait a minute, isn’t this a misunderstanding again?
It’s a pain in the ass when people beat themselves up for not being good enough.
But thankfully, I didn’t.
Harkon’s hand rests on my chest.
“I will engrave commander-in-chief’s words into the lion’s heart.”
Tadadak.
After Harkon said that, he grabbed the reins and ran towards the great monster. I also couldn’t stay still. I immediately raised my magic power.
‘In times like this, it would be very convenient to have the Objective Eye.’
It’s time to show off to Grandfell for no reason.
kwakwakwakag.
I stare at the creature making the noise.
A message popped up all over the Arcana continent.
I knew it wasn’t normal, but …….
[Great Yokai of the Valley of Blood, the Cruel God Killer Eight-headed Viper: Lv.2,000]
This is no ordinary creature, isn’t it? I can see why the Eastern Continent has been meekly offering sacrifices to it. I immediately put on the Dawn’s Jacket for settlement.
[1. When you are the Commander, your allies’ morale is ‘maxed out’].
My morale is up.
Despite the roughly 1,000 to several hundred level gap.
The Knights of Lionheart were not deterred in the slightest.
But they must remember.
‘It’s only meaningful if no one dies.’
Like I said.
I wanted them to grow, not sacrifice.
One might ask.
Is it possible to defeat a boss monster with a gap of nearly a thousand levels, not just a few tens or hundreds? Of course, I think it’s possible.
‘It would be impossible if I were alone.’
I, Lee Hoyeol, am just a ray of light.
But I had Grandfell. It means that there is an infinitely deep darkness that can make even the faintest ray of light look dramatic.
Goooooo.
As if in response to my words, the [Six Sight Brooch] began to glow. That’s right. The [Six Sight Brooch] controlled by Grandfell, not me, Lee Hoyeol.
‘What’s the point of distinguishing between us, Grandfell?’
We just do what we’re good at.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I know you’re good.
It means that you can leave it to me no matter how uncomfortable it is.
Next thing you know, vast amounts of magic envelop the battlefield.
Each immeasurably small particle of magic is enchanted. Attacks, defenses, buffs, and countless other magic circles manifested in the particles of magic to respond to every situation.
‘If Marcelo had seen this, he would have fainted.’
Even I, who had grown accustomed to Grandfell’s talent, was stunned by his manifestation power, but what was even more astonishing was his body, which was able to handle the excessive manifestation without showing any signs of magical exhaustion.
‘Well, he has everything good for magic.’
A brilliant talent, the [Blessing of the First World Tree], the [Six Sight Brooch], and even the magic power that has changed in rank since ascending to the Ten Thrones. So we could be sure.
This means that not only Lee Hoyeol but also Grandfell acknowledged it.
Isn’t that true, Grandfell?
Be honest.
Isn’t a painting like this better than you think?
“It’s a glorious landscape.”
That’s how Grandfell answered my shameless question.
“It’s so blinding that I can’t open my eyes.”
Ugh, that sounds grandiose.
