Dragon Poor

258. Near Awakening (3)

Unlike Kim Sun-hyuk who was lying on the bed with his whole body bandaged, Marek looked relatively fine. When I think about it, Marek lost a duel because he was weak in health, not because he was badly injured.

Despite his exhausted face, I can once again feel that winning in the Sapphire Duel was just a hoax.

“Next full moon, I'm thinking of a succession ritual. ”

While looking at Kim Sun-hyuk's severed hair and looking for reassurance, Marek extended his schedule later.

“I'll tell you all the truths you've learned that day too, so wait a little longer. ”

Before he even brought it up, he explained his past promises and sought his understanding. None of the faces delayed the fulfillment of the promise seemed to be time-consuming, whether there were special constraints on the tuner.

“Well, I'm not a fugitive, but I can't wait a few days. ”

Marek thanked me for his cool pace.

“But what's wrong with looking good? ”

Despite losing the duel and failing to save his desired heir, Marek's expression is not so dark. Rather, the gentle expression seemed to take off the heavy burden.

“I won't deny it. Honestly, it's a nice thing to say. ”

Marek also admitted his attitude.

“Hmm."

As Kim Sun-hyuk, I couldn't imagine how much pressure it would have been to live with only one goal for 200 years.

However, it was vaguely obvious to me that the path I had walked as a tuner was not the only easy one.

And the more she did, the heavier the burden that Julian had to carry forward came vividly.

“The assassination of foreigners had not spread far across the continent, and I was severely wounded in the battle with the pursuers back then. And I, like Earl Mansk, am able to avoid the inevitable death by accepting the fate of the tuner. ”

Marek opens his mouth, watching him as he becomes depressed.

“You said that last time. Whatever it is, it's better to be alive than dead. ”

No matter how harsh you are, you have to live to scream. Everything will be worthless when you die. After all, only the living have the right to go forward, so he believed that in no case can there be a better death than life.

It was a belief that would be better for him, even if he had suffered countless deaths. It was an idea that wouldn't change even if he came to this time with a heavy heart because he thought about Julian.

“I agree with you. If I could go back in time and make another choice, I would choose to survive. After you die, it's all over. ”

It was Marek who had been watching the foreigners who had died first for 200 years, so the weight of the words remained.

“Then I'll come back on a day when the moon is full. ”

Marek rises from his seat, leaving a message of comfort or not.

Kim Sun-hyuk who was left alone breathed heavily.

The face of the former Drake Cavalry, a large number of soldiers, and the estramorwn comrades who died first, flashed before my eyes.

“I'm not wrong. ”

He looks at Julian somewhere else, once again weighed down.

Kim Sun-hyuk was recovering quickly.

If the priests didn't pour out their divine power for a little while, the wound that had spread and vomited blood suddenly became healed, leaving only scars, and even the face that had wished to be white as white as a white paper.

Nevertheless, he could not get up easily.

The sacred flashes of healing wounds and the constant energy of the land could not fully replenish the sheep's blood that had already escaped from the body.

“But wouldn't it be all right if I went out in front of you? I can't take this anymore. ”

After being unconscious for ten days, I woke up again for ten days, and I really felt like I was going to die just spending time on my bed. As he roams around the whole continent, Mansk's precious quarters are too cramped for him.

“Do you have any complaints? It's a miracle that we're alive, that there's no disability left. ”

He squeezes his torso, twisting to death, and shoots Asha Trail.

“No matter how refined the body is, it cannot overcome the build-up of injuries and fatigue. Please think about what to do in the future so that your ears can feel your body. ”

The toughness of this company hasn't changed since I was just a lowly nobleman and became the Duke.

She is a strong woman who has the power to make bitter noises to anyone she needs. Even though the other person told me a few times, it was more so if the lord was severely injured by the lack of learning skills.

“Very well. I won't struggle anymore. ”

I looked up my hands with the face that Kim Sun-hyuk, who had been mumbling and nagging for a long time, was tired.

“The Grand Duke has not changed since he was a terminal cavalry. ”

Asha Trail looks a little soft on his playful attitude to the end. The Lord is delighted to know that even though time passes and the position is hardened.

“I wasn't born a noble, and since I'm naturally like this, I'll change easily. ”

“You're quite eloquent, considering. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk glanced at the unexpected Asha Trail.

“How are you feeling? The priests said they've overwhelmed themselves, but they're recovering quickly because they're mentally strong. I don't think the priests are wrong. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk frowned, staring at the soft-speaking Asha Trail.

“If you have something to say. ”

It's because I realized later that Asha Trail was distracted by something to say.

And it was very unlikely that the good news was the one she couldn't bring out. Urgent enough to alert a serious casualty in need of unconditional rest, yet bad enough to worry about his safety breaking.

Kim Sun-hyuk's expression hardened like a stone.

The Adenberg Empire has been steadily stabilized by the powerful leadership of the Adesden Empire and super-human power beyond compare to other nations. As time went on, there was no sign of any challenge to this powerful new empire.

Naturally, his relatives and acquaintances, who were the center of the empire, were also not faced with such a big task.

If so, he was the only one who was not protected by the Empire.

“Did something happen to the central front? ”

And the most likely thing to happen was Park Jun-min heading west for his encounter with the Demon King.

“Joon-min, what happened to the warrior? ”

Asha Trail is not very good at hiding things. Seeing her stiff expression, the vague ominousness became a reality.

My heart sank. I was cold as if I'd been thrown into a frozen lake in the middle of winter.

“Sir Trail. Answer me.”

I hold my weak body, my struggling breath, and I bite as calmly as possible.

“A warrior of the Astorian Church, missing from the Demon King, the encounter, and the battle before midnight. ”

But I heard about Park Jun-min's disappearance that I didn't want to hear about.

“Tell me more, tell me more. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk asked about the situation in a suppressed voice.

“Twelve thousand Allied troops, including the First Templar Knights and the Third Temple Knights of the Astoria Church, the Temple, the Temple and the Priesthood, and the seven thousand paladins, met with the Demon King before the full moon. So the warriors and the elite palladines started a fierce battle day and night. ”

Asha Trail's voice is cautious, but she doesn't hesitate to tell the truth. I just carefully looked at him with my straight eyes, filled with concern.

“At the beginning of the war, I heard it was the Allied forces that were overwhelming the enemy. The Knights of the Shrine and the Priests were excellent at defeating witchcraft and witchcraft, and the Allied soldiers with the paladins were also able to fight against a myriad of them. However, as those so-called messengers of chaos entered the Great War, their appearance changed. More enemies than the number of horses and horses that were defeated at the end of the battle came, and the Demon King entered the battle on time. ”

When more enemies were filled with deadly force, the Allied forces made a good look on their faces.

It would have been dark and hopeless. Nevertheless, the fire of hope would not have been extinguished. His church was rotten, but the temple knights, paladins, and priests underneath it were real.

“When the Demon King broke in, the choir raised its voice and the choir was no longer heard, and the fate of the priests who protected the alliance from Magi was quickly broken. ”

But before the great evil of the Demon King, the will of good and brave men was insignificant and insignificant.

“Brave soldiers who have been defending their comrades with their deaths have held their swords to the Allied forces, and even after their deaths, they have captured their allies' ankles. Suddenly, the damage swept up like a snowball, but there was no retreat for the Allied forces surrounded by overwhelming magical objects. ”

He's been fighting in the West longer than anyone else, so I feel desperate for the Allied forces.

A fallen comrade stabs an ally in the stomach and bites the living flesh. The mind collapses faster than the exhausted body, and Margaery infiltrates the species to find another victim.

His magic was the greatest weapon the Demon King had brought down to the west, and it was the Demon King's sharpest fang the Allied forces had to face.

“Then the warrior stepped forward. ”

Soldiers who had fallen into a dazzling flash of divine holiness awaken from the glow of the sword stuck in the earth. Margie was nowhere to be found, and the placenta flew away at the same time from the horses that were filling her surroundings.

But that alone was impossible to save a centuries-old alliance. In a short period of time, the alliance of priests were devastated and viciously exposed to Magi. Over 72,000 of the 12,000 elite troops were killed in that short period of time.

“The warrior opened a retreat, and the Allied forces were able to retreat. But it looks like the warrior didn't leave the battlefield until the end to secure his retreat. Until then, the Demon King who didn't go into battle ran towards the warrior except for summoning the fog made of Margaery... ”

Asha Trail, who took a moment to look at his face, sighed and told me the warrior's last.

“A warrior for Allied soldiers who are offering to retreat," said Bhaiyya, "is left in his limbs to evacuate tens of thousands of civilians who don't know how to fight. There's another reason not to call me brother. ’Smile and confront the Demon King. When the last survivors of the Alliance fled the battlefield perfectly, they said that the white light against the black fog had not subsided at all and had risen to the sky. ”

"Always be dedicated to people like you, and let me listen to the sound of heroes. ’

When the naive but good warrior looks up and says something like that, he just laughs.

When I think about it now, I regretted why I didn't tell you more about it at that time.

He was not a dedicated and sacrificial hero. In any battlefield that others thought was a limb, it was just a struggle because they were confident enough to leave one body.

But he wasn't a warrior.

The Sword was certainly a powerful magic, but it was not well suited for dispelling numerous enemies, and unlike the courageous warriors who rode the Redburn back and forth freely into the air, the warriors had to fight until their strength ran out when isolated from the enemy camp.

Resurrecting itself with its tremendous resilience was only a mere ordinary man when he could face his own penalties, and if he repeated his death until there were no more levels to fall, he was just a mere ordinary man.

“Despite the disappearance of the warrior, the Allied forces have made quite a bit of money. He has captured more than a quarter of the western Fallen West, and the Demon King has ceased to act at the same time as the warrior disappears. ”

The Asha Trail explains the consequences of the war in the west.

“I'm guessing the survivors of the Allied forces exchanged irreversible injuries between the Demon King and the warrior. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk closed his eyes to the coalition's home without deviating from his own expectations.

“Do you have anything else to say? ”

Asha Trail looks like there's something more to say for some reason, and she hesitates for a while.

“The Grand Duke has received the unofficial full text of the Astoria Church. ”

As she spoke, she still seemed to be struggling. It seemed conflicting whether I could tell the story now.

However, after making her decision, she handed him an unofficial copy of the church.

“Ah…. ”

Kim Seon-Hyuk sighed as he quickly glanced at the specialty.

“The Church knew that if the Grand Duke had already tried to rescue a few survivors, they could rescue the missing warriors. ”

An informal specialist flying from the church was telling him to head west again.
