Chapter 99 – Chapter 10

A few minutes ago.

“Kuu…!”

Lilith was incredible.

Even though he fired magic arrows longer and stronger than usual with the beads given by the Apostle of Unity, he ended up in a draw with the slender kid.

No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was rather a victory for the other side in that they held out until the cultists were annihilated.

“All the brothers upstairs were killed. Now it’s our turn.”
“…I have no face. I never thought there would be someone who could block my arrows…”

Even if she behaved rudely here, she only felt ashamed of herself, so she meekly admitted her mistake.

“They’ll be coming soon. We have to retreat now. Where’s the secret passage that says we’re here?”

When Sado settled in this place, Lilith, who remembered that she had said that there was a secret passage through which she would escape in the worst case, suggested that they escape through the secret passage.

“None.”

However, the apostle smiled and casually made a shocking remark.

“…What?”
“Of course, isn’t it? This place is just a graveyard far from the palace. Why would you build a secret passage in a place like that?”
“But you…I see. You cheated on me from the beginning.”

Lilith spoke to the apostle with a growl, but the apostle’s mouth was still painted with a smile.

‘There is, but we have to die here.’

How severe is the obsession of the royal family for their own comfort, but there is not even a secret passage in a place like this.

However, they must fight desperately and die here.

At this point, Lilith, who could never die until she returned to her own world, aimed her bow at the Apostle who had broken her promise to retreat through her secret passage.

“Hmm. I didn’t think I was stupid enough to cause an infighting in this situation.”
“You were the first to break the promise.”
“Do you think they will accept it if I take my head now?”
“If it’s just that, it’ll be difficult. But, if you tell them what you did to that sword, the odds increase.”

The apostle hardened his face at Lilith’s insistence.

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s clear that all these plans are based on that sword. What if I warned you and made sure no one gets close to that sword?”
“That’s troublesome.”
“If you want to make me shut up, think of some way out of here! I have to go back to my original world!”

Lilith threatened the apostle by aiming a magic arrow at him.

Seeing that, the cultists who had been playing around with swords on the 3rd floor along with the apostles surrounded Lilith and pointed their weapons at them.

“I can’t.”

As the declaration of surrender came out of the apostle’s mouth, Lilith’s face brightened.

“Lilith Marmat Asmodeus. Shut up.”
“You! How…!”

A light arose from the strange pattern engraved on the back of the apostle’s hand, and Lilith was in a position where she could not say anything except breathing, even if she opened her mouth to speak in an instant.

“It’s a pretty interesting summoning system. A system called the emblem that forces the summoned entity to command twice.”
“!!”
“You really thought I wasted a lot of time signing a contract with you? The Foreign Press Association has many technicians, so it’s been a long time since I’ve interpreted this emblem.”
“!!!!”
“I command you again, Lilith Marmat Asmodeus. When I give you my signal, fight our enemies to the end.”

Lilith, who was commanded by two absolute command rights, was deprived of his free will and turned into a machine that attacked the enemy when a signal was sent, shutting his mouth in accordance with the apostle’s command.

‘Master… !’

Lilith reminded herself of the master of the original world who did not use the absolute command authority of the emblem system and made her move with sincere persuasion.

It would be humiliating to sign a contract with a master other than the one he had dedicated his body and soul to live, and it was so disgraceful and humiliating to have to be consumed for their plans.

‘Once again… I wanted to meet you…’

But, what’s even sadder than that is that I can no longer meet the Master.

Time passed, and the apostle, who heard the sound of the special forces descending to the third floor, gave a look at the believers holding weapons, telling them to get ready.

“That’s it! Dirty cultists!”

The Night Captain, who arrived on the third floor, immediately pushed and attacked the cultists.

If it hadn’t been for the first king, Durden, he would have been careful, but since he defeated everyone on the second floor, including the founding contributors, there was nothing more to be wary of.

“Kuh! Fools! Unity was our only salvation!”

Unlike when talking to Lilith, the apostle was driven into a corner and shouted like a cultist who had no back.

“Attack everyone! For the unity of God!”
“For the unity of God!!”

Pooh!

“Cheuk!”

When the apostle sent a signal, Lilith, who was ruled by absolute command, suddenly drew her bow and pierced the middle of the forehead of the advancing paladin, relying on the shield spread by the holy spell.

“That archer!”
“That bitch!”
“I will kill you!”

They rushed at her, who had troubled her because of the arrows of her release from her second tier.
Her battle intensified as her cultists formed her formation to guard her.

Fufufufufu!

“Keuk!”
“Cock!”
“Kkeuk!”
“Cheup!”

Unlike her beginning, Lilith, who mechanically drew arrows, began to attack in a different direction than where she could land critical hits.

They had to attack them by force of command, but they focused on deliberately injuring them with minimal resistance.

In addition, she deliberately wastes her magical energy inefficiently, quickly reducing the time she can manifest as a summoned body.

Naturally unaware of this fact, the special forces tried to deal with Lilith, who was protected by the cultists, somehow amid the mounting damage.

‘Now!’

Noriyoshi finally realized that the time had come for him to play an active role.

In this situation where everyone’s damage is soaring due to the last outburst of the enemies, he himself draws out Excalibur and wipes out the enemies in one blow!

It is to show everyone that you are a worthy hero as the owner of Excalibur!

‘There was an unexpected interruption from upstairs, but this isn’t bad either!’

Planning a story to become a hero, he quickly rolled his eyes and checked the place where the sword of the first king was embedded.

The battle was taking place in the center, and the tomb of the first king and Excalibur were located on the northern wall.

Fault!

After confirming that everyone was distracted by the cultists, Noriyoshi slipped aside and ran towards the first king’s tomb and the Excalibur next to it.

“Um!? No! Stop that guy!”

Sado, who was watching the battle with his swollen body from behind, exclaimed in amazement at Noriyoshi’s sudden action.

It was because he never imagined that during the battle, a mercenary who was not a knight would try to pick Galaig in front of everyone.

“That guy can’t believe it!”

The night captain was also perplexed when he felt that Noriyoshi was trying to pull out the sword of the first king, Galaig.

When they came to this world, the bizarre mental world of the earthlings who thought they were the main characters caused unexpected and sudden actions on both sides.

In particular, it was great that he, who had lived in the 21st century, did not feel any weight in the power of the royal family.

“Stop it!! Shoot him! I mean shoot you dirty elf bitch!”

Sado directed her to open fire on Lilith to stop Noriyoshi, but she deliberately ignored her orders to ruin Sado’s plan.

Above all, the apostle gave the order to ‘fight our enemies’ with absolute authority, but he didn’t specify anyone.

Noriyoshi ran towards him, grabbed him by the handle, and lifted him with all his might.

Purr—

Haha! Haha! As expected! I!”

Until now, a legendary sword that no one except the first king had been able to draw came into his hand.

Noriyoshi, who cried with joy that he was the main character,

“He’s the main character! He was the main character… Huh?”

Suddenly, the scenery changed in an instant, and I realized that I was alone in a strange white space where everything was white.

“What…?”

The vicious commotion that had been killing everyone until just now disappeared in an instant, and Noriyoshi, who was placed in a space so quiet that even the sound of falling dust could be heard, quickly turned his head.

“Is it some kind of test?”

It seems that in order to use this sword, it must undergo some kind of test.

“There’s that kind of sword too. Okay! What kind of test is it! Anything comes!”

If you are the main character of any hardship, you will surely be able to pass through it.
Noriyoshi, who was so sure, felt a certain presence and looked behind him.

“Under…?”

There, what can only be described as ominous, a huge jelly-like object of unknown height, the color of dried blood, was attacking Noriyoshi.

Iron Poo!

Something like jelly attacked Noriyoshi, and his consciousness and soul were absorbed into the jelly.

After a while, the jellies that absorbed Noriyoshi coalesced into one, and began to transform into a single human being.

“Tch. Fools. You can’t succeed in one simple task like this.”

The human who was perfected like that had the form of Noriyoshi, but he was a completely different being from Noriyoshi.

His infinite confidence that he is the main character and his eyes looking forward to the future adventures turned cold and cold as proof of that.

“There is some talent, but it’s not at a level that satisfies. Plus, you’re just a mercenary.”

Recalling the memory of Noriyoshi he subsequently absorbed, ‘he’ wrinkled his face in disgust.

“What is this garbage?”

He was bullied and harassed in the era he lived in, and he was born in the wrong era.

All of a sudden, as soon as he came to Jelsdad, he was lucky enough to learn a useful mana rod, and fell into the illusion that he had become the main character of a different world popular in Japan, so he picked Galaig with unfounded confidence.

“This will make things difficult.”

Originally, this sword had to fall into the hands of the royal family, no matter how bad it was.
Only then can he enter the body of a royal family and make this world a united god.

I thought that if I was going to pull out this sword, the royal family would pull it out first, but the plan was ruined because I didn’t expect the mental world of the earthlings.

Noriyoshi thought Galaig was Excalibur, but in reality it was a demonic sword that consumed the user’s mind and controlled the body.
It was for this reason that Durden’s last name was the same as the name of the magic sword.

The reason why the Harlot Kingdom does not know this is because they are only aiming for those who are talented in the subject of the magic sword that controls the opponent’s mind.

The first king, Durden, was a person who fit perfectly, and as now, by absorbing his soul, he was able to know the knowledge and situation of this world.

In any case, the original plan aims to ‘create’ followers of the Unity God from within the Kingdom of Haloth, in the hands of a curious royal family, while publicizing the existence of Galaig, which has been forgotten by no one.

It was for this reason that even though they could have made a more vicious plan than this, they deliberately alienated them so that they could be subjugated and greeted the subjugation party.

However, the most important key point of the plan is out of order because of Noriyoshi, an earthling.

“I can’t do it. I can’t give up now. I have to go back very far, but it wouldn’t be bad for me to act freely as a mercenary, or for my descendants to propose a marriage of convenience to me.”

Galaig, who became a believer of the Unity God after being mentally contaminated by the believers who worship the Unity God, decided to become a hero in the body of an earthling and gradually increase the power of the Unity God, or to find a being with talents superior to this body.

*                           *

“Haaaaa!!”

Kwaaaaa —-!!

“Oops!”
“Ugh!”

Noriyoshi, who chose Galaig, exploded his energy and focused everyone’s attention on himself at once.

Origin, no, more than that, everyone was hardened.

When Sado and Noriyoshi’s eyes met, Sado nodded slightly and exclaimed in astonishment.

“Uh, why! I couldn’t pull it out even with the first king’s corpse!”
“You fools! Did you think you would just absorb the body!”

Galaig, who took over Noriyoshi’s body, amplified his power by using his life force at random.

If you use this power, the lifespan of your body will drastically decrease, but when the time comes, you can switch to another body.

“Haha!”

Galaig shouted out loud and attacked the cultists.

Of course, the cultists also knew the plan, so they desperately resisted and attacked him with the intention to kill him.

It has to be this much so that others will not suspect it.

Tuquaa!!

The power of the sword is half, and the mana created by consuming Noriyoshi’s source power is the other half.

Galai He wielded his body freely, cutting off the bodies of the cultists, and approached Lilith, who fired magic arrows from behind.

Thinking that he was the center of this plan, she desperately wanted to kill him, but Galaig, who had absorbed hundreds of human souls and lived as a great hero and great villain, easily dodged Lilith’s arrow and dug inward.

“!!”

Lilith can use magic, but has a system of magic that requires her to cast spells with her mouth.

So, with her mouth shut, all she can do is

Kwajijik!

“Die, evil dark elf!”

It was all about glaring at Galai, who was cutting his own body through his armor, with a childish look of resentment.

‘Mas… Place…’

Slowly – Tae-aeng!

Her dismembered Lilith dissipated as if her body was disintegrating into molecules, and the bow she used was shattered.

Galaig swallowed the bow that fell to the ground with the subspace function hanging from his body.

‘If you have this, you can summon that bitch again. If I convince them well, I’ll be able to use them with all my might.’

Hearing everything in his sword state, he convinced Lilith that this was a plan and that he had to fight desperately to deceive the enemy, and decided to use it as a force to increase her power.

“It’s the last time!”

After defeating the cultists and Lilith, Galaig jumped at the apostle, absorbing countless humans and becoming as tall as him.

“Ha, God of Unity!”

The apostle tried to fight with a ‘desperate’ prayer, but Galaig cut the body of the apostle diagonally and the staff he was holding in his hand was destroyed.

The staff must have been a sacred object of the unifying god, and as the disparate magic disappeared, the otherworldly realm began to normalize.

Galaig, who occupied Noriyoshi’s body, took care of the battle that everyone struggled with, and showed everyone that he was a worthy master of the legendary sword.

“Great… That’s great.”
“To do such a thing alone…!”
“Galaig is looking for a new owner…!”

Everyone was amazed or amazed at Galaig’s power, but the knights who regained their composure felt that the situation had become more troublesome.

A nameless mercenary pulled out the legendary sword used by the first king of Harlot Kingdom.

In addition, as the owner of the sword, it showed the ability to be suitable, so it could not be taken away by force.

I’d rather be a noble from a lesser nameless family in the kingdom, it wouldn’t be such a headache.

‘It feels strange.’

While everyone was blinded by the beginning of a new legend, Lillian felt a strange sense of incongruity.

I don’t know if it’s the sense as a master, or the sense as a mercenary leader who has fallen into a trap while carrying out countless requests.

But what is clear is that the entire process from the beginning to the present is strange.

Rather than the sense of achievement that a big task has been solved, I feel only a sense of shame that the work has ended halfway, being dragged by other intentions.

“Haha! Hak! Everyone, are you all right!?”

As everyone was focusing on Noriyoshi who pulled out the legendary sword, the owner of a soft voice was heard from the entrance of the hierarchy.

Everyone turned their heads at the sound, and Kai Sent desperately rolled his eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.

“Uh… That’s it… Suddenly a huge surge of mana…”

‘Me, me, me, me, me, me… !’

And Galaig, who saw Kaisent for the first time through Noriyoshi’s memory, but through his own ability, managed to hold back his screams.

‘God, monster, monster… ! The owner of such a talent… Even in the old world! I’ve never seen it in this world!’

Like a magic sword that absorbs the souls of people with talent, he can see the talents of his opponents.

‘I have to have that guy’s body! I’m royalty and I don’t need anything! If I can only occupy that body, I will have to give up even if the plan I made before was perfectly realized!’

It is thousands of times more profitable to occupy that body and start from the bottom than to occupy the body of the royal family and move secretly inside the kingdom.

Galai He somehow devised a plan to take Kaicent’s body, but he couldn’t move without thinking because he was in front of everyone.

‘We need to create an opportunity for the two of us to meet! Somehow!’
