Flashã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡!!
The flash of light created by the collision of the Sword Master's white sword energy and the Demon God's dark purple sword energy containing his magic flashed brightly.
-Kaaaang!!!
The sound that filled the space afterwards was the sound of a solid sword breaking.
“Kekekekekeke! No matter how well-functioning the Nostalgia is, it will eventually end up like this again in front of the Holy Sword!”
The identity of the broken sword was none other than the famous sword Nostalgia of the Sword Saint Ulysses.
Another victory over Ulysses, the object of his inferiority complex.
Antoine smiled with a bitter smile.
-Whiririririririk!
Nostalgia's two-parted sword head spun and flew into the air.
-Phuu ...
It was stuck in the ground.
[......]
Still holding his stance, Ulysses silently gazed at his famous sword, Nostalgia, which was broken on the top of the hilt.
"It's just like that time. Nostalgia was broken by my attack, and after that, your neck was also cut off by my sword. Hehehehe!"
Antoine smiled confidently.
Ulysses, who was addicted to the Flower of the Demon God elixir, could only use about 30% of his abilities as a sword master.
That is why he was subdued by Sword Seeker Antoine, who led the elite unit of the Imperial Knights at the time.
In fact, even if Antoine were to fight one-on-one, he would be able to subdue him.
If Antoine had put his mind to it, he could have done things more easily and neatly.
What he chose was a loud performance.
Deliberately breaking Ulysses' symbolic sword and cutting off the sword master's head,
It is said that this was to leave an indelible trauma on Eugene Schneider when he later relayed the circumstances of Ulysses' death.
"Fate repeats itself. Your neck will roll to the ground again, this time by my holy sword, Ea. Ulysses."
Oh my gosh...!!
This time, a clear difference was made in the weapons.
So Antoine, confident of his second victory over Ulysses, took a stance to strike with a deadly blow.
[I see. So that's how you killed our father.]
At that moment, Ulysses, who was looking at the broken nostalgia, made an unknown comment.
“!!!!????????”
After that comment was recited, Antoine's once confident expression became completely round.
"I wanted to hear it directly from you, Antoine. That you killed my father. Only then can I cut you down without a moment's hesitation."
Saaa ...
The reason is none other than the appearance of Ulysses, who had been exchanging sword strikes with Antoine just before.
It was as if a transformation spell had been lifted, as he transformed into Eugene Schneider wearing the Great Swordsman's armor.
“What the heck! What the hell is this!”
Look around! Look around! Look around!
Antoine, greatly embarrassed, looked around, thinking that some kind of evil scheme had been hatched.
[Fallen Holy Sword Ea, I'll finish that guy off with this. Antoine.]
Paaaa ...
The broken sword Nostalgia in Eugene's hand began to transform into something much larger.
“That, that is!!! The heroic greatsword of the Dragon Hunter Demon Swordsman!!!”
Antoine, who was more interested in the Demon Clan's affairs than anyone else, was familiar with it: the Hero's Greatsword.
-Whoooo ...
[Let's put an end to this long-standing feud, Antoine!!!]
The great blade of the Hero's Greatsword held in Eugene Schneider's hand was filled with a mixture of golden divine power and dark purple magic.
-Buaaa ...
And the hero's greatsword swung over Antoine's head,
“Fuck! Fucking hell!!!!”
Antoine, who was overwhelmed by the momentum, was unable to defend himself.
“Ewww!!!!”
Beeã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡tteok!
And so Antoine woke up from his nightmare.
“Damn it...! Damn it...! What a fucking dream!”
Gurrrr...! Gurrrr! Gurrrr...!
Antoine was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
I was completely overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of Eugene Schneider.
As a so-called warrior, I was almost defeated by the oncoming great sword of heroes without being able to do anything.
“Eugene Schneider... you sinister bastard! You damned bastard!”
Antoine, who is smart and quick-witted, now feels as if the meaning of the dream is sinking in.
Antoine, cold and ruthless, is actually a coward who harbors great fear deep down.
The core of that fear is, of course, Ulysses,
He could have ended Ulysses, who was addicted to the Flower of the Demon, alone, but he took the elite soldiers of the Imperial Army with him because he was afraid.
Although objectively he had the upper hand, he was afraid that Ulysses might create some kind of variable.
It could be said that keeping Eugene Schneider by my side was for the same reason.
In order to continue to watch, there was a considerable purpose to monitor whether Eugene would also display genius like Ulysses.
“Yeah! Hehehe! It’s a dream! It’s just a dream! Don’t think about it too seriously!”
Then, I finally had a real face-to-face encounter with Eugene Schneider, who had awakened at the Emperor's coronation.
On the outside, he pretended to be relaxed and focused only on Emperor Vivian and Marianne, ignoring Eugene Schneider. However, Eugene looked exactly like the swordsman Ulysses, whom he had betrayed, and he almost lost control of his expression.
Wasn't it Antoine who got to where he is today by using extramarital affairs and superstition?
Eugene Schneider, who resembles Ulysses, and who is wearing the armor of a great swordsman, is a being who has received Ulysses's grudge and has appeared to take revenge on him, and this delusion has taken root deep in his mind.
That delusion must have manifested as today's nightmare.
Antoine struggled to deny it, his face trembling with fear as he read it himself, his lips curling upwards.
But at that moment
-Paaaa ...
“What! The Holy Sword’s Barrier?”
Even though Antoine didn't cast it, the barrier of the fallen holy sword Ea unfolded before him.
-Saaa ...
Then, Air started to come out.
“What kind of phenomenon is this!”
Antoine's mind became complicated as he looked at Ea's appearance as she was pulled out, his expression terrified.
Woof woof woof woof...!!! Woof woof woof...!!! Woof woof woof...!!!
Because Ea was crying and emitting a crimson light as if warning of something.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing! The power the Demon God has bestowed upon you is truly on par with that of the original Demon King!!!"
Mephisto, dressed in battle attire, could not contain his frenzy and awe.
Mephisto, looking up at something with his head bent,
He is looking at the monster summoned by Demon King Mina.
"Bone Dragon!! A demigod that roamed the world from the age of mythology and ancient times! This incredible monster bears the mark of the Demon King!"
Krrrr...!!!!
The Demon King's army, having spent ample time reconnoitering and reorganizing its battle lines, is finally ready to launch a full-scale attack to breach the Millennium Wall.
The core weapon of that conversion attack was the half-god-level monster, the Bone Dragon.
[It's thanks to your patience and diligent follow-through on my instructions. I will keep my promise. By crossing the Millennium Wall, I will usher in a new era for the Demons.]
The reason why Demon King Mina, who had been focusing on exploration and reorganizing her battle lines, had caused the situation to become more complicated than necessary was to buy time to obtain the hidden card that could definitely turn the tide of the battle.
By summoning giant ogres and gargoyles, he upgraded his summoning skills and accumulated a huge amount of summoning magic, and the result was the demigod-level monster, the Bone Dragon.
-Koooo!!!!
Burnã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡Sudden!
Even the Sword Master is powerless against the defense line of the Millennium Wall, and the imminent arrival of the half-god-level monster, the Bone Dragon.
A bone dragon with gleaming crimson eyes filled with magic energy,
The guy roared loud enough to make the Demon King's castle resonate.
“The Demon King’s army has begun to advance again!!!”
The horn sounded, and Imperial spies who had infiltrated deep into enemy territory to relay the situation in detail reported to Imperial Commander-in-Chief Esteban.
"There's no need to panic. Ultimately, what's coming will just come rushing back! We're fully prepared."
Esteban nodded thoughtfully, looking at the map spread out on the table with the Imperial Alliance officials.
He seemed quite confident.
The reason is none other than the fact that the supply is very generous.
As a result of holding out well for about a month on the Millennium Wall side, the imperial palace in the rear was able to secure systemic stability.
Thanks to this, not only the delayed supplies but also special supplies were added, making the Millennium Wall fortress stronger and more numerous.
"The snowstorm is starting to intensify, and Dara has arrived... It seems they've perfected their own response to this situation. So, we must not let our guard down, Sir Esteban."
“Now that I think about it, Sir Vincent, that makes sense.”
Vincent, who served as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Imperial Knights along with Farnese, was cautious.
When the gargoyles were deployed, there was relatively less snowfall.
It seems that they chose a completely different environment to attack.
"Move quickly! We must slow down the Giant Ogre's advance as much as possible with the catapults!!"
Thus began the 6th battle between the Elysium Empire and the Demon King's army.
In the 6th battle, the Imperial Army took an offensive defense unlike before.
This is because the catapults that were acquired in large numbers through special distribution began to be utilized.
"The orcs are moving to protect the Giant Ogre. Lancers, maintain your formation and advance!"
“Wow!! Let’s go!!”
-Dudududududududu!!!
In order to maximize the performance of the catapult, a significant portion of the forest was cut down in the direction where the Demon King's army would advance.
Thanks to this, there was an additional ultimate item that could be added, a large spear that was mainly used in grassland or desert battles.
The Imperial Army's lancers, who had already taken up positions, advanced in a proud formation to confront the numerous Demon King's ground troops who were charging towards the Giant Ogre.
‘It can’t end like this... The smell of magic is stronger than before...’
The Imperial Army's power, strengthened by the supply, produced perfect synergy.
However, Laonzena, who was supporting that appearance through Dark Arrow, seemed to be on high alert.
This is because the quality and size of the magic that the Demon King's army is actually releasing is much greater than what is visible to the naked eye.
‘You’re here!’
Soon, a monster that filled Laonzena's sense of emptiness appeared.
“What is that! A snowman? A snowman???”
“Isn’t he just like a snowman? He’s much bigger and faster!!!”
Snowmen, special creatures that fit perfectly with the heavy snowstorm, began to appear all over the front lines.
“It’s Yeti Baiaba!! This is not your average snowman!!”
Sister Sylvia, a bishop, was able to figure out who the guys were.
The guys were the ancient snowmen, the Yeti Baiava.
