9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 478

Episode 478

Episode 153. Decisive Battle (9)

Fergut!

The iceberg guarding the far side of the battlefield gently crumbled. It was a gigantic mountain that seemed impossible to destroy even with Duran’s decisive battle.

It was a distance that humans couldn’t reach even if they walked for half a day, but the huge shock wave that started there became hot wind pressure and swept across the battlefield.

In an instant, everyone on the battlefield stiffened like a stone statue. Both the allies and the ogres stopped moving and turned their heads to look at the source of the shock.

After a while, they could see the collapsed mountain completely disintegrating and flying into powder.

And I could intuit. That this terrible destruction is just the beginning. As soon as the intuition crossed my mind, the entire pole began to shake violently.

Among them, Natalie focused on the empty space with a devastated face. I thought I knew now what the tears shed for no reason meant.

[Natalie-sama.]

Evan’s voice calling her right next to her felt infinitely far away.

The ogres were shaking like beasts facing a disaster, and the soldiers cried out the names of their dead comrades while the fighting stopped for a moment.

But neither to Natalie nor to them.

There wasn’t much time to grieve.

Paaa! The glaciers in the polar region were shaking and ejecting huge frozen rocks to the ground.

The first to give the order to retreat was Krissa, who was watching them all from above. In addition to seeing it with her own eyes, she could roughly feel what was happening from the polar center.

[Dragons, assemble and build a shield! Stop dealing with ogres and focus on protecting humans! A shockwave is coming!]

On the other hand, the ogres regained their cold-hearted appearances like decisive battle weapons and seemed to be trying to slaughter humans again.

But the moment the ogre on Natalie’s side was about to strike the hammer.

The thick ice sheet he was stepping on collapsed like a biscuit.

The ogre that fell into the sea struggled, and Evan sighed and looked at his car.

[Jacka, please take care of Natalie. I have to stop that.]

Although struggling, the ogre should be able to rise to the ground again soon. Are you going to deal with it alone? I wanted to ask, but Jeka just nodded.

Because he heard it too. That Yuma had become a complete god, and that would mean death as a human.

[There is only one thing I can stop. If you want to prevent this place from becoming a nameless cemetery like Yoheim, you will have to run away with all your might.]

What is the path for the dead Yuma?

It was a question that flashed through Jeka’s mind for a moment. Taking Natalie and leaving the battlefield was probably what Yuma wanted most.

Because of this, Jecca suppressed her heart that was about to break and held on to Natalie. She was pale and immobile, like a distraught person.

Taq Malone struck Natalie in the neck, knocking her out.

“I stay, Jeka. Take responsibility for leaving Natalie and Maria.”

“Does this madman think that’s what Yuma wants? You guys have to get out of here too.”

“If even I escape, there won’t be enough people to block the shock wave. Ogres will fly like ogres. At least you have to hold out until Yuma returns. It’s not dead. I’m not the type to die like this.”

“Then I stay.”

“Who is taking care of Natalie and Maria? You can’t manifest any more, so staying here is a dog’s death.

If you want to stay, bring at least two people to the wall and come back.”

“…don’t come back soon.”

There were more important things than the feeling of wanting to stay.

Zeka led his troops and started to leave the battlefield. The ogre, who had repositioned himself, let out a glowing breath with an aura, and Theron and Cherkin took their positions.

“Evan? I heard a lot about Yuma. I owe you a lot. I don’t know if I can pay it back before the world ends.”

[Would you like to leave too?] “Look over there. Those who are only me or those who are stronger than me are all left, so should I step back?”

[I am saying this with sincere thoughts. I am not already alive, but there are things you can enjoy even briefly.]

“There must be. But if I make a sacrifice, the short time of more people will become a little longer. And above all, the end has not really come. Let’s go where we are going.”

Even while we were talking, the color of the sky continued to change. The impact, which began at the very center of the polar region, rips through not only the ground but also the sky.

The mixture of emptiness and Yuma’s energy made her eyes dizzy. The energy of the god disappeared into the void, but it was multiplying endlessly.

“I’m ashamed to say I’m on top of nothing.”

Duran, who was staring blankly at the sky, said with a laugh.

“No, this is no longer a human ability.

Duran said with a bitter smile.

He wanted his pupil to become the strongest warrior to succeed him, but never expected to become a god.

Being a god is definitely not going to make you happier than being a human.

The Star Buster’s blade was chipped in places. It was questionable whether the sword would hold up until the remaining six ogres and the shock wave bursting from the center of the polar area were over.

However, what made Duran frustrated was not the lifespan of the magic sword that had been with him all his life.

‘How is the fight between the substitute student and Rizol going?’

And to what extent has the Second Coming of the Void been completed?

It was those things that weighed heavily on Duran. I didn’t want to go through the end of the world out of nowhere in the midst of such a hard struggle.

I’d rather fight and die. At least that would have been understandable.

Even after the situation suddenly changed, all top military personnel except Zeka kept their positions. The faces of those holding weapons were determined.

But even standing still seemed difficult. The shock wave grew stronger and the ogres were no longer as agitated as before.

“Somehow push the ogre into the void like uncle!”

In the confusion, Randall screamed at his throat. At the same time, Marlon and Juan’s 0th assault force began forming camp.

“It’s one every 30 minutes, so if there are two of them, it’s an hour. Until then, hold on well.”

Duran rejoined the battlefield.

“Bluff doesn’t get along with my uncle. Are you seriously injured?”

“This bastard is noisy.”

“You don’t hit me even if I call you Uncle Heo?”

“It’s because I don’t have enough strength to hit you. Everyone, hold on tight! The new kid who just joined goes home if he’s too scared.”

Quaang! bang!

When the ogre’s hammer hit the ground, the already broken ice sheet shattered. The overflowing seawater soaked the bodies of the unmanned and immediately froze over and over again.

There is no artillery support or Balaur support now. Only the best warriors extended their weapons toward the ogres, and Kantai, who was supporting the rear troops, joined them.

Even so, it was a number that was less than ten. Now that even Duran was injured, it was impossible to kill the ogre with only unmanned soldiers.

Every time the ogre struck, a risky scene continued.

Uninjured uninjured soldiers had already lost considerable physical strength, so they could not bring out their proper skills.

“We will only hold out until help comes!”

Fighting off ogres and shockwaves and dying fiercely was not the reason they remained. If it was a hopeless battle, they would have gone to the barrier with the soldiers without starting in the first place.

‘Rather, now is the only chance to deal with the ogres as the poles begin to be engulfed in the void and the shockwave spreads.’

Ballinan fighting against the spirit king’s ship and traitors.

And if Hugo, who was lying in a hospital bed, miraculously came to support, there would be no better time to deal with the ogres than now.

The Ballinan side was being sorted out. Even after the shock wave started to spread, Adol was still alive, but the wizards below him could not stand it and died, bleeding all over their bodies.

Lot completely lost his momentum, being pushed by Kaiente and Rakir’s combined attack. All of the shiny leather was torn, revealing the black flesh, and it was in a hurry to run away.

Soon, as Rakir’s magic hit directly under the outer skin that Kaiente had torn, a pseudo who considered himself to be a light guide lost his breath.

Kaiente and Rakir also suffered significant losses. Caente was injured and crippled, and Rakit consumed too much magic.

“The pitiful things.”

Adol continued to engage in a firefight with Ballinan, but for some reason, it seemed that he was increasingly pushing against Ballinan, who possessed infinite magical power.

“Even after obtaining infinite magical power, can’t you just use it like that?”

“Are you really the only one who could live like this since you were born so good?”

In the eyes of the two people who could not be called rich now, nothing but murderous intent remained in their gaze toward each other. Victory did not come easily.

As Rakir and Kaiente began to help Barlinan, the situation they had been holding back tightened again. However, it was just that far and neither of them were able to land a final blow against each other.

‘I can’t do it over there.’

Duran, who glanced in the direction of Ballinan, thought. In this way, there was no choice but to wait for the ship of the Spirit King or Hugo, which had no promise.

“Kuok!”

Marlon, who was running around the battlefield, suddenly groaned and rolled on the floor. A sharp piece of ice that bounced off the ogre’s hammer grazed his side.

It was okay up to that point, but after that, the shockwave opened up the torn flesh and it became a pretty big injury. Even the slightest misalignment would have resulted in a fatal wound.

“Marlon!”

The two ogres were quite far away, but one of them threw a hammer at Marlon.

There was no one around Marlon to stop it instead. It was not an attack that could be avoided. The hammer that glowed with aura had the power to destroy a small castle with one blow.

I thought it was the moment when there was no way to avoid death unless the shockwave accidentally changed the trajectory of the hammer.

is this the end

The moment I opened my eyes, Marlon’s body flew into the air like an artillery shell.

However, it was not hit by the ogre’s hammer. It was because of the shockwave caused by the collision of the ogre’s hammer with another equally huge weapon.

It was a black giant crusher that flew tens of meters at the speed of light and hit the ogre’s hammer.

“Why the hell are you here now?”

Landing on the floor, Marlon’s gaze was fixed on a long ago hidden by the dazzling shock wave.

Ogre Slayer Hugo.
