Northern War (2)

incomprehensible

Sometimes in the world, beings beyond understanding appeared. The dragon, which is now thought to have disappeared, but whose traces alone are impossible for mortals to properly understand.

Among humans, the first hero, who is questionable from the beginning.

Except for the first hero, Cain was regarded as the strongest warrior of all time.

King of Conquest of the Franz Empire, Franz I.

Such were the archmages who created all kinds of transcendent things that were strictly sealed in the special storage of the Imperial Mage Tower.

Other than that, there are a lot of things to list, but at first glance it looks like a lot.

In other words, it was only about that much throughout the long history of the continent.

After all, in terms of probability, the possibility of an incomprehensible being appearing was extremely rare. The chances of encountering such a being were even slimmer.

Krug, too, was closer to the side that was hard to understand from a general point of view.

The person in front of Krug was on a different level.

Something beyond recognition, like a natural disaster.

Koo Goo Goong—!

At every gesture the man made, dozens of pitch-black swords appeared in the air and slashed down like bees, creating huge craters on the ground and crushing Krug’s army.

Krug’s troops somehow rushed at the gap, but Krug’s troops couldn’t even get close, and every time the man took a step, he was crushed to death in a wide area with blood spurting from the chilgong by intangible pressure.

The whole body burned with a flash of light and was dismembered.

“I… Your Highness!”

“Don’t make a fuss. I’m watching too.”

Krug also had enough confidence in his own strength, but no matter how much he thought about it, he didn’t think he could do that against tens of thousands of troops like the author.

This… it was too unrealistic to say that it was a figure that only one human being could create.

“Are you saying the author has infinite mana! What the hell, why do allies die because of the way they walk!”

“…”

The corps commanders next to him shouted in astonishment, but Krug had nothing to say.

As a human being, there were bound to be limitations.

But the author was attacking like mad, as if there were no limits.

Moreover, the scene where the heads of nearby soldiers exploded and blood and brains scattered in all directions with just one light step was an incomprehensible phenomenon that Krug could not understand at all.

Kwakwagwagwang—!

Far from getting tired as the battle continued, the pouring attacks were getting stronger.

It’s like getting used to something. Even during this massacre, there was not even a hint of mercy in their hands.

Everyone on this battlefield felt it. The author is not human. If you’re human, you can’t do that. It is a monster in human form.

From the inside of Krug, who had lived his whole life without knowing fear, something unfamiliar began to sprout.

fear.

When I looked at my palms with anxiety that suddenly overtook me, they were trembling non-stop.

It can’t be.

The King of the North, who leads an army of over tens of thousands against only one human, cannot feel fear. this is a win-win

I tried to think so, but I couldn’t bear to step forward as usual.

“Brigade commander Lougaru. Let’s go first.”

It was the first time. Krug ordered someone to lead the vanguard like this.

“…”

Ordered by Rufus to strictly follow Krug’s words, Rugaru quietly stepped forward.

Contrary to Rugaru, who headed forward, Krug’s corps retreated little by little, and the battle entered a lull for a while.

“Are you a werewolf again?”

Carol looked at Lougaru approaching with cold eyes.

“Kreur…”

Werewolves are usually no different from humans, but when they transform into wolves, their fighting instincts dominate their brains.

Instead, the fighting power increased in proportion to it.

Although Rougaru ran in all directions using all four legs, aiming for Carol’s gaps through flamboyant movements.

It was slow enough to cause a yawn in Carol’s eyes.

I was wondering if there was something special about coming out confidently, but it was a little faster than the werewolf that came running at first.

“I don’t even need to see any more.”

Black lightning flashed along with Carol’s words.

The sword steel, which had a tremendous career, quickly rushed to the vicinity of Rugaru, and soon split into several branches and attacked with the whole body of Rugaru.

Feeling the power of Carol’s attack with an animal sense, Lugaru gave up defense and tried to evade, twisting her whole body.

Both legs were amputated in one blow.

Both arms were cut in the strike.

A solid line was created from the head to the crotch of the three strikes, and soon, Lou Garu’s body split into two.

After killing one of the corps commanders in an instant, Carol started walking slowly toward Krug’s corps again.

If you seriously say that one human being can stand against ten thousand soldiers, everyone will laugh and stop talking nonsense. Even in this world where superhumans exist.

Carol actually did it.

Fearing only one human being, the sight of tens of thousands of troops walking backwards in fear was far beyond common sense.

From Carol’s point of view, this was an opportunity.

After coming to this world, Carol had never seriously pushed her power to the limit.

This was especially true after climbing Talma. Even Fenrir wasn’t enough to bring out Carol’s limits.

It was still not enough. What Carol had been doing up until now was just checking the extent of the ring’s power.

As you climb Talma, you can bring out almost infinite external prayers thanks to the unification with the energy of heaven and earth.

He hardly used the enormous energy that lay dormant inside Carol’s body, which was no different from a microcosm in itself.

Even while slaughtering a huge army of monsters alone, Carol felt a burning thirst in her throat.

I want to confirm my limits and break through them.

It was a natural desire to have if you were an unmanned person.

However, there were no suitable opponents or places for Carol to use her strength.

Because the situation was not favorable, the longing that had been buried deep inside until now slowly surfaced.

At the same time, a huge amount of demonic energy erupted from Carol’s ring and began to spread as if it would cover the entire land.

“Is that…?”

Even Krug was aware of that energy. Used by the man who taught him how to breathe and swordsmanship when he was young.

An extremely dangerous aura.

Demons existed in the north as well, and Krug instinctively understood how dangerous they were.

That was not an energy that humans could easily deal with.

Moreover, even with Krug’s outstanding intelligence, it was impossible to grasp even a fragment of the principle behind the appearance of the red demonic energy being replaced by black energy at some point.

bang!

In the place where Carol had been, a hollow was created with an explosion, and the heads of dozens of ogres that had been blocking Krug’s army like an iron wall rose into the air at the same time.

Black flashes raged incessantly.

It was different from before. Until now, Carol had attempted massacre with multiple strong swords, but now she was enveloped in black mist.

It was like watching a beautiful dance, swinging a sparkling sword gracefully and playing freely in the middle of a large army.

The human shaman desperately tried to control the monsters, but the monsters who were afraid of Carol were running amok.

Seeing that, Carol was disappointed. Only this has no meaning I was expecting a desperate fight that pushed each other to the limit, risking each other’s lives, but it was already wrapped in fear and was about to run away. Even if tens of thousands of people were united, in the end they would be nothing more than mere monsters. Did you have too high expectations?

Even while making fun of swordplay in a trance, Carol’s inner longing was exceeding the limit.

At some point, I felt bored just mechanically repeating the massacre.

Even though Carol ran rampant to this extent, the opponent’s leader was still surrounded by their subordinates, tightly gripping the greatsword and glaring at Carol.

At first glance, it looked like he was waiting for Carol’s strength to drop.

If that was his intention, Carol decided to play with that tune.

thud.

The microcosm opened. The unified bet that started from the union of the three halves combined with the outer air of heaven and earth, and then fused with the refined demonic energy from the ring to turn into black flames that covered Carol’s entire body.

The flame, which seemed to grow endlessly, gradually dispersed into the sky according to Carol’s will.

Hundreds of flames transformed into a pitch-black steel sword that burned as it was.

“Stop! Stop it right now!”

Krug, who felt a tremendous energy on a different level from before, shouted to his subordinates with a scream close to screaming.

Krug’s core subordinates, including the corps commander, urgently rushed to Carol, but Carol had already completed all preparations.

Among the martial arts that Carol could currently use, the one that consumed the most authenticity was the sword type.

Since it was premised to be used in a space where there was an enormous amount of demonic energy by nature, it was not taken into consideration at all to save the original energy.

As if a heavenly deity descended from the sky, the flame-engulfed sword slowly fell like a rain of fire, drawing a trajectory to the ground.

Bongma sword type

Three Heavenly World Goddess Advent

Even the commander who rushed in on Carol.

The army of monsters surrounding Carol.

There was no escaping the punishment.

Only Krug hurriedly swung his greatsword to block it, but all of his subordinates guarding the area turned into a handful of blood.

“Heh heh… that’s absurd…”

The fire, which seemed to continue endlessly, gradually died down, and Krug laughed and sighed as he looked at the horrors unfolding around him.

Krug still had enough troops left, but most of the key commanders who needed to deliver orders had died.

Krug’s soldiers held their breath as they watched this, and their bodies froze on the spot.

Excessive fear sometimes made it impossible to even think of running away.

This… is already over.

Krug’s long-prepared ambition was brutally shattered by just one human being.

Rather, by coming to this final situation, the fear that had engulfed Krug disappeared and a calm lake-like tranquility came. After putting everything down, I realized anew that he was just a soldier after all.

thud!

Krug slammed his greatsword into the ground, shining bright eyes.

“The great warrior Krug requests a duel of warriors.”

A strange glance passed through Carol’s eyes. The current Krug was different from before. It wasn’t the look in the eyes of someone who simply waited for Carol’s strength to drop.

Also, there was no hesitation in Krug’s voice, as if he had attained a momentary realization.

“Karl of Bernstein accepts the duel.”

Responding to Krug’s will, Carol silently raised her sword and spoke.

Krug, who politely gathered the greatsword to his chest with both hands, immediately ran forward and slashed.

A sword that is larger than your own body.

A sword blade larger than that greatsword.

Carol deflected the greatsword’s trajectory from her shoulder to her waist with just one step and lightly punched Krug’s abdomen.

bang-!

Along with a loud explosion, there was a huge wave that could not be resolved on Krug’s pitch. Krug took a few steps back, spitting red blood from his mouth, then stepped back and desperately swung his greatsword at Carol.

So close.

In Carol’s judgment, Krug was an existence far beyond the limits of the race. The more they shared the sword, Krug’s flame-like will was transmitted heart-to-heart. It was too good to die like this.

I just wish I could have lived as an unmanned person.

I felt sorry for him, but Krug had already come too far to return to being a mere man. Until now, he had done countless things that harmed the human world, and he himself was carrying a lot of things.

You can’t undo the past that has flowed.

Looking at Krug’s attack, Carol made a decision.

He dug into the arms of Krug, who was brandishing his greatsword, gathered both hands, grabbed the Black Lightning, and stabbed it right into his heart.

“Cool…!”

It’s because the black lightning pierced his heart and turned the inside of his body into porridge.

Krug dropped his greatsword and vomited blood mixed with intestines from his mouth.

cooong!

Eventually, Carol opened her mouth in front of Krug, who fell on his knees and lost consciousness.

“He was a good fighter, at least for the last time. Admit it. Rest in peace now.”

As soon as Carol finished speaking, Krug lowered his head, drawing a small arc around his mouth, as if satisfied only then.

Dududu-

The sound of the horses’ hooves, which had been shaking the ground earlier, gradually grew louder and came closer.

Seeing the unrealistic scene of black fire embroidering the sky, Piet, the Dragoon Regiment of the Royal Guard, rushed to the scene and forgot what to say when he saw the scene unfolding before his eyes.

One human being has ended a war that could have put the whole north in danger.

The scars of fierce battles that remain on the land.

Piet felt a shudder at the sight of Carol standing in awe in front of what seemed to be the leader of the enemy.

mythology

I witnessed with my own eyes an event that would surely be regarded as a myth in the future.

“The enemies have already lost their will to fight! Lombardi Regiment, pursue the enemy!”

Originally, it was common for dragoon regiments to ride only when moving and dismount to fight in battle, but now there was no need for that.

Krug’s corps, whose command was annihilated, gradually began to flee, and this was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

After giving orders to his subordinates, Piet got off the horse and carefully approached Carol.

“Are you here?”

Carol spoke to Piet in a calm tone.

“Yes, interest is…”

Piet looked at Krug and murmured.

“I am the leader of the enemies. Probably for sure.”

Even in the midst of the melee, Carol surely heard the title of Highness.

“In that case, we should do our best, hang it in a place where people can come and go as much as possible, and publicize it extensively. Can you leave it to me?”

Carol, who had been silently looking at Krug’s corpse, slowly shook her head from side to side.

“I hope not.”

“yes…?”

Piet asked in puzzlement.

After all, it was just a different position.

There is no need to insult a dead opponent.

Of course, the anger of those who were sacrificed by Krug was justified.

It was strangely reluctant to hang Krug on the street in order to relieve people’s resentment.

After thinking for a moment, Carol removed her lips.

“I’d rather not do that either.”

“…Then how?”

“I want it to end by burying it in a sunny place.”

I don’t know why Carol made such an emotional choice, but Piet wasn’t in a position to refuse even if he asked for more anyway.

He was a hero who ended the war single-handedly and realized an impossible miracle.

“All right. Just… would you mind taking the body to Bernstein for identification? I will not harm or mutilate the body.”

“of course. Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Feeling that a story has come to an end.

Breathing in the cold northern air deep into his lungs, Carol calmed down her body and mind that had been infested.

It was time to go back.
