Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 142
Episode 142 〈 Shield of Protection 〉
A long time ago, Charlotte heard a story from Oscar the Sword King.
“Humans cannot defeat giants.”
giant?
Charlotte looked at Oscar.
dark night.
The rural village of Humite.
After lighting the firewood, Oscar recognized her for the first time.
It was also time to teach the first technique.
He said, looking at Charlotte.
“Yes, a long time ago, I fought the Four Spirits King and faced the White Bone King along with many monsters.”
A huge body measuring tens of meters.
The king of the undead who wielded a sword with four bone hands.
Because of its majesty, Oscar experienced life and death several times.
“I didn’t win.”
and.
“I didn’t even lose.”
His mission is to open the way for the Celts to face the Four Spirits.
In carrying out the task, he blocked the White Bone King’s blows.
A power that surpasses that of a large human being.
An overwhelming force that cannot be compared even if the strength is strengthened with holy power.
Humans are weak.
But hunting monsters.
“Still, do you know whether the Holy Family can face those fearsome monsters and overwhelmingly defeat them?”
The reason why the Holy Family was able to face the Four Spirit Kings and vampires.
That is.
“The opposite qualities of holy power and magical power.”
An explosion that occurs when holy power and magical power collide.
“If you use that.”
Oscar looked at Charlotte and said,
“Because it can cancel out any attack.”
**
The moonlight was discolored red by magic power.
A day passed as the night became late with a dreary chill.
The 25th.
It was the time when the waves of death made of magic power would rise.
A thick fog spread across the ground.
The entire continent was covered with magic power. And the undead become stronger.
This also applied to Mist Calf, who has magical powers.
But
– why?
He was unable to use his strength in the center where the waves of death spread.
The sacred golden chains restrained him.
It suppressed freedom and slowed down his body. I ordered it.
That was only a few minutes ago.
My body felt extremely heavy, as if gravity was acting dozens of times stronger.
Mist Calf felt fear at an unknown phenomenon.
Above all, there was something else that scared me the most.
In a world that glowed red. A being that spreads a soft light.
It is a small paladin.
Right in front of the human wearing the skull of a goat stood the person who had been knocked out by his own blow.
It was clearly a being worse than an insect.
Why? Why…?
‘That kind of energy. ‘Do you have it?’
Charlotte lowered her gaze and looked at the weapons in her hands. The
heavy armor she was wearing, the shield and the sword
she was holding. They were all engraved with Aztalun, and she was also wearing a robe made of holy power.
A vast amount of holy power formed her body.
Her head. She was dazed.
But her memories gradually came back and she realized what she had to do.
She glared at Mist Calf, who was bound in golden chains.
‘I block it.’
Stopping the giant in front of her.
And protecting others.
That was what she had to do.
She hit the ground.
It bounced off like a bullet and a loud roar rang out.
As Charlotte approached quickly, Mist Calf threatened. I felt it.
-Something like a seal!
My hands creaked.
Smoke flowed between the golden chains.
When I tried to force it out, wounds began to form on my body.
But there was nothing I could do to tear it off.
The chain was torn away. The bedrock was gold. Although this has gone, the solidity remains the same.
As the body was freed, Mist Kalf glared at Charlotte. As
she jumped, Mist Kalf smiled.
Even if it was just a bug,
it would burst to death with a single touch.
He spread out his palm.
-Explode. Die, human!
He kicked the ground and swung his hands as hard as he could, even using the movement of his waist.
Charlotte recalled what Oscar had said:
‘Holy power and magical power are opposite qualities.’
-But it might be too much for you.
The shield contains holy power.
It is amplified by Aztalune and surrounded by a white aura.
‘If you use it.’
-It is a technique based on powerful holy power. If you have the corresponding holy power.
It cuts through the wind. It is as fierce as a huge rock hitting you.
‘You can stop it!’
-It should be enough to block it.
Charlotte swung her shield in the air.
A veil containing holy power appeared right in front of Mist Calf, collided with the palm of her hand,
and bounced away.
-…?
Mist Calf’s gaze automatically caught her eye. I looked at my hand.
My hand was tingling.
Before my palm touched the girl, something collided in the air and bounced.
“What…?”
Mist Calf’s gaze turned forward.
Charlotte’s sharp eyes fluttered the hem of her robe. It was reflected.
-Your sword has become one with the holy power.
Grab the holy sword.
-Raise your level so that you can fly it. If that is possible.
The holy power of the great sword is burning.
-It would be enough to be called the Sword King.
I swung the great sword from bottom to top.
A slash made of holy power spewed out.
It was different from the blade of the wind blade that used Kasim Derian’s divine energy. It was
a strike made of pure holy power.
Mist Kalf was startled and stepped back, folding his hands together.
The slash and the back of his arm collided, causing an explosion.
– …
Mist Calf’s eyes widened.
The rock armor surrounding his arm was shattered.
-What the hell are you talking about?…
“Everyone start shooting.”
A word was heard from somewhere.
Mist Calf’s eyes turned downward at that.
It was the man wearing the skull of a mountain goat who was with the paladin.
Mist Calf turned his gaze.
At his words, stones and spikes flew in from all directions.
Such a siege. The weapon can’t do any damage to its own rock…
Kwajik!
A wedge was driven into Mist Calf’s chest, and stones struck her body with terrifying speed.
**
I put all my strength into it.
My body was too strong to save Charlotte. The damage was severe.
That’s why they tried to restore her body using Aztalun.
They sealed Mist Calf, but at the same time, the Shinigami skill was applied to Charlotte.
A phenomenon that occurred due to the obsession to save her.
It also had considerable power.
Charlotte I looked at it.
It deflected the giant’s blow. It even broke the bedrock with a slash.
It is far more powerful than Nasus in Aslan.
Aztalune’s sexual power amplification and physical ability strengthening also overlapped with the divine power battle and even the death god transformation, which is absurd. It demonstrated unprecedented power.
“…I guess it resonates with Ellis as well.”
I turned my gaze.
I heard Ellis’ chant.
He must have been strong.
He must have awakened Charlotte to a being that surpasses human limits.
‘Aztalune’s ability to consume sexual power is no joke.’
I focused on Charlotte, but also transferred it to a small number of siege troops.
I strengthened their siege weapons. Although their
power is minimal, they could pose a slight threat to the giants.
Now there are two things I need to do.
Strengthen the seal and move more. Blocks.
Finally.
“Ends with one blow.”
**
Mist Calf’s heart was pounding in his chest.
-Why?
He rolled one eye and continued to chase the paladin. He
moved quickly.
His mud awl chased after her, and each time, Charlotte nimbly avoided it and approached. I did it.
-Why?
I clenched my fist.
Gritting my teeth, I swung my fist with all my might at Charlotte, who was approaching my feet.
-The attack didn’t work!
I poured my magic power in.
A fist made of rock with a dark aura. Wrapped around.
-Aim for the timing.
Charlotte thought of Oscar.
-The best timing to deflect the opponent’s blow.
Her red eyes glowed.
A huge fist falling.
The magical energy contained within it.
-Even normal attacks work. However, if it is magical power, the effect will be doubled.
A way to mitigate the opponent’s attack without impacting yourself.
Raise the shield.
Take control of your breathing.
The period when the magical energy shakes before the fist touches.
Holy power was injected into that period. .
Charlotte swung her shield.
The veil of sacred power surrounding the shield bounced off and seeped through the gaps between the fists where the magic flowed.
Mist Kalf’s fist seemed to reach her, but the air expanded and the fist bounced away like an explosion.
– …!
The area around Mist Kalf’s eyes twitched.
It shouldn’t be like this.
He’s going to lose.
A straight strike doesn’t work.
Something in the air keeps deflecting his attacks.
There’s one way.
A direct strike. He did not lower it.
He clenched his fist and hit the ground.
Charlotte was startled and took a step back.
As the rocks fell around her, Charlotte moved her body to avoid them or swung the great sword made of holy power to cut them.
Mist Calf smiled.
I knew the strategy.
Now it was time to counterattack.
There was no need to worry.
I clasped my hands together and raised my huge hand.
Every time I did that, a golden chain rose up and interfered with me.
It was a very lukewarm seal. The only thing I needed to
do was to seal it completely. Instead, he is only intentionally hindering his movements.
He must be thinking about killing himself.
‘Fools!’
He is the work of a giant king.
Are he afraid of losing to a human who is not even a god?
The golden chain
was forcibly torn off. His movements slowed down.
Siege weapons flew towards him and damaged his body, but he ignored it.
The mud that made up the muscles of both hands It swells.
Magical energy swirls around the entire fist. He
takes a breath and puts all his power into his fist.
Mist Calf grins with a cruel smile.
-…Die. Humans!
Hit it down with all your might.
Two black, burning fists come together and hit the ground.
With this blow, the earth will crack, rocks will erupt, and all humans in this area will be wiped out.
I was sure of it.
Charlotte stopped and looked up at the sky in surprise.
She gritted her teeth after discovering ‘something’.
‘It’s a blow prepared by the prince.’
You can’t do it in vain.
There are many soldiers around.
If Mist Kalf’s attack is allowed, all the soldiers in this area will die.
Those who came forward to save the prince were also people to whom the prince had done good deeds.
Protecting patients and the people.
“That is the role of a guardian.”
Charlotte raised her head and looked at Mist Kalf’s two fists striking her directly.
‘See through the flow of magical power.’
It swirls quickly.
I can’t find a gap.
No, you have to find it.
I’ll have to look for it.
‘Raise your senses.’
The blood boiled all over my body.
The vision penetrates the gap in magical power.
The agitation disappeared between the sharp eyes.
focus focus focus focus.
A gap in magic that swirls like a storm.
‘…found!’
Charlotte stepped on the ground and supported herself.
Lower your waist.
He grabbed the shield and pulled it.
‘Through that gap.’
Surround the veil of sacred power.
‘Pierce through!’
I swung my shield.
The condensed curtain penetrates the gap in the flow.
In the midst of the swirling magic power, a curtain spreads, and magic power and holy power mix.
and.
bang-!
It expands and explodes due to conflicting forces.
Mist Calf’s hands were released and flew away.
Fingers of the solid rock wall were broken off and mud was scattered everywhere.
-shit…!
Mist Kalf’s huge body swayed and his eyes widened.
He struggled to keep his balance and planted his feet on the ground.
The gap has widened too much.
There will be a huge counterattack.
So prepare for defense…!
“It’s over.”
Mist Calf paused and raised his head in surprise.
A sword made of light soaring high into the sky.
A sword measuring tens of meters was floating, spraying out holy power.
Allen said as he took off Amon’s skull.
“Heavenly Sword.”
It is a heavenly sword and a strike that can only be made through the prayers of numerous priests.
Mist Kalf’s eyes shook.
“With this blow, you will fall asleep forever.”
The Heavenly Sword that was floating in the sky came down and was struck.
It cuts through the wind and falls towards Mist Calf.
– Stop it!
Mist Calf screamed.
Raise both hands to the sky and overlap them.
My eyes widened.
His own hands were already in pieces.
The solid rocks have disappeared and only mud is flowing down.
-Ah…
When Mist Calf’s stone eyes turned towards the Heavenly Sword, the sword struck between his eyes.
Pierce the front.
It penetrated through the eyebrows, open mouth, and throat, splitting the entire body.
A convulsion occurred on Mist Calf’s face.
-Ahhhh!
The energy of holy power spread out.
-I am I…
Mist Kalf’s stone eyes rolled over and his entire body went limp.
Eventually, my body collapsed.
The rock surrounding my body falls.
Mud flowed down as if the skin and muscles were melting.
“Avoid everyone!”
Prisoners fled in a huff as the mud poured in like a flood.
Charlotte also widened the distance and took a step back.
The prisoners’ eyes widened and they looked at the dead Mist Calf.
A courageous man thrust his spear into the melted mud.
No response.
The giant’s form was unrecognizable.
Only the giant’s head, cut in half, leaves a trace like a statue.
It is completely dead.
“…The Jotun is dead.”
They achieved victory over the legendary giants.
Not only did they hunt vampires, but they also became a legend.
‘We…!’
‘I won!’
The prisoners cheered.
“Whoa…”
Ellis leaned against the symbol as if he was exhausted, and Hans was giving her medicine.
Harman and Schupell sat down and laughed heartily, and Lord Gerald led the prisoners around. He drove away the approaching undead.
“Ha ha ha…”
Allen looked away.
Charlotte, who was nearby, sat down as if her legs had lost strength.
The great sword made of holy power disappeared and changed into a sword. The robe was also It disappeared.
The sacred power surrounding her body disappeared, and Charlotte was smiling, albeit faintly. Are you okay
?
If it were you, you would have fainted .
It was superhuman mental power.
She was also tired.
Allen walked up to her and leaned against her back.
“ Good work.”
Charlotte was shocked and closed her mouth.
“Thanks to you, the soldiers survived. Me too.”
Allen took out holy water from the item window and offered it to her.
“Drink it. You will feel dizzy. It looks like your holy power has been depleted, but if you replenish it, you will feel somewhat better.”
Charlotte did not show her face and received a bottle of holy water.
Silence for a moment.
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Charlotte whispered softly,
“Did you… help?”
“I told you. “I survived thanks to you.”
“…”
Allen raised his head and looked at the sky.
The red moon became dark as it was covered by dark clouds.
I feel a trembling sensation in my back.
I couldn’t tell if it was trembling from laughter or sobbing.
“Let’s go back.”
Now was the time to take a break.
**
Celt was in a strange space.
A bright light flashed in my eyes.
It feels like a gentle breeze passing by.
It was also not limited by gravity.
It feels like my body is floating.
It is truly a sacred light.
How fantastic would it be if you could reach that light?
When I stretched out my hand with that thought in mind, Kelt woke up.
“Your Majesty?”
Cardinal Raphael’s voice came from the right.
Celt was reaching out his hand unconsciously.
And when he realized that he was in the imperial palace, he smiled bitterly.
“You fell asleep again.”
Kelt looked at Raphael and smiled kindly.
On the contrary, Raphael looks worried.
Well, he would know.
In fact, I thought I would have another 10 to 20 years to worry about, but now the time for retirement is approaching.
‘Retirement… It would be nice to spend the rest of my life in the quiet countryside. Should we go on a trip to Airans as a bonus?’
I stroked my chin and looked out the window in Daejeon.
The warm sun shines through.
It is truly pleasant weather.
How great would it be to be able to step down from the throne on a clear day like this?
“Hmm.”
Kelt looked to the left.
Sword King Oscar looked at the parchment Kelt was holding.
“Oh, that’s right. Look at my mind. I forgot this.”
Celt unfolded the parchment in his hand.
A letter from the 7th Prince Allen.
It contained:
“…training of 5,000 priests. The period is 1 year.”
Sword King Oscar stiffened and Raphael coughed.
Celt blinked and burst into laughter.
“It looks like they’re going to call it conquering the continent rather than eradicating the vampires!”
“Please don’t even joke.”
That’s what Raphael said.
Raphael knows best that the Seonghwang family is insane.
If they really set out to conquer the continent, they will raise their army on a large scale.
“joke? Well, 5,000 is probably impossible. “That’s one year.”
But the maximum is 5,000.
This means that it can be nurtured to a level that comes close to that.
Ronia’s convict soldiers are proof of that.
There was talk of a rebellion, but Celt laughed it off.
What’s wrong with my grandson that he starts a rebellion?
Quite the opposite.
I even wonder if he felt the danger of a prosperous kingdom and prepared for a long time to build its foundation.
Ronia is the result.
Just producing results like this is enough.
Kelt curled the corners of his mouth.
“If this succeeds, vampires won’t even think about invading.”
“…”
“There is news that he will be returning in a month. Prepare to welcome him.”
Kelt stood up.
I stretched out my hand towards the window where the sunlight was shining.
The warm sunlight made him feel good.
“also.”
He turned his head and looked at Raphael and Oscar.
“We will hold a succession ceremony for the Holy King.”
Kelt said, smiling softly.
“As the first successor to success.”
