The Regressor and the Blind Saint

“Heh heh… .”

Laughter echoed through the barracks.

It’s like scratching all the vocal cords, the kind of sound that should be called the cry of an animal. Todd smirked as he lay down on the center shaman of the barracks.

Duduk-.

The skin is torn, and a fountain of blood spurts out. The bursting blood swims in the air for a short time, and then falls again on the body.

There was a burning pain in the spot where the blood was dripping, but Todd felt euphoric in the pain.

It was the vitality that was torn and regenerated, and the sense of omnipotence that seemed to be able to do anything.

Woo woo-.

Ominous cry. Todd lifted his head slightly and saw the shaman’s circle glowing red all over.

“How much more?”

“Come on, wait… .”

The soldier looked at the wine group with a trembling voice.

Todd waited for an answer, savoring the pain of tearing open his body.

“Successfully, this Jin is activating, but the firepower is still insufficient. your majesty… , W, after all, it is more certain that he completes the body… .”

“no.”

Todd interrupted the soldier and continued.

“That’s not going to happen. The apostle did not come. You know where that damned apostle is going to get his imperial grandchildren, so the legion is so leisurely?”

It was not going to happen.

The old man had to die.

For the greatest unity, for the glory that will be fully in your hands. Todd had no intention of leaving any risk factors behind.

“Firepower, firepower… .”

ugh-.

sputum boils Inside the boiling sputum, the intestines burst and the blood that flowed back was mixed.

Todd raised a small regret over this unfinished, poorly priced body.

“I mean, I couldn’t even add the general’s body… .”

A liquor that adds the life and power of others to the body.

I thought that with this wine group, we could achieve unification. I really thought that unification was right in front of me. The completion of the body was too slow.

Even though he put the body of his general, Barretta, who was evaluated as having the strongest body among the generals of the five countries, it was never completed.

“Unsatisfied.”

“Wow, Hwangsong… .”

“I mean, there is no time to relax.”

Dumpling-.

Todd’s body was torn again. All the veins in his eyes burst and tears flowed. Todd said, looking at the soldier with such a face.

“aide.”

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty… .”

“There is an apostle.”

“That’s right… .”

“Yes, no. There’s an apostle over that peak. Don’t you know what this means?”

It is said that dreams may fail. They say that all the hard work of the people who have sacrificed here can go in vain.

Todd didn’t say that, and looked at his lieutenant.

The lieutenant said, ‘Thump’, kneeling and bowing his head.

“Buu, please have mercy… .”

Words that speak out loud. The lieutenant’s whole body began to tremble. The hand that had been on the floor suddenly came forward and rubbed the palm of the hand.

“Have mercy… . mercy… .”

Todd tilted his head as he saw the lieutenant repeating only the word ‘compassion’.

“What are you talking about? I’m not blaming the lieutenant. But why is it raining so much?”

“Have mercy… . please… .”

The lieutenant’s trembling deepened. Perhaps rubbing his hands wasn’t enough, the lieutenant started pounding his forehead on the floor in that position.

Todd looked at it and made a belated ‘ah’ sound.

“I think so.”

I realized why the lieutenant had suddenly acted like that. The corners of Todd’s lips, judging that, went up.

Through the cheeks, beyond the cheekbones, to the corners of the eyes. It wasn’t a metaphor, it was really starting to tear the corners of his lips to the back of the corners of his eyes.

Todd said.

“Yeah, I guess that’s what he meant.”

Todd got up.

“Javira… , I guess I needed mercy.”

Todd thought that his cool reason was being exercised at this moment, and he understood the will of the lieutenant.

“Is the lieutenant afraid of the apostle? That’s why you’re afraid of being killed by the apostle and not being able to fulfill your dreams, right?”

“Ouch… .”

The lieutenant banged his head on the floor again. thud. thud. sound bang. bang. He hit his head so hard that it turned into a sound.

“Have mercy, have mercy… !”

“I see. I understand the will of my lieutenants, the will of my proud soldiers.”

Oh, how can I be such a blessed king? With so many soldiers dedicated to the country, there is no other life so glorious.

“I will never forget the meaning of devoting myself to the country.”

“Uhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

The lieutenant jumped up and ran to the exit of the barracks.

Todd looked back at him.

“Thank you. I will remember you.”

Todd waved his arm.

puffy-.

The body of the lieutenant who was running away was split in two.

Todd thumps. thud. ‘Gear’ made a sound, opened his mouth and swallowed the lieutenant.

He shattered his flesh, grinded his bones and swallowed it again, reminding himself of his promise.

I will never forget this sacrifice.

I will never forget this noble cause.

Todd’s body trembled at the sound of deep inside his heart, and then he thought of such a question.

‘But… .’

What was this lieutenant’s name?

The moment I was thinking about it.

Crack-.

The lieutenant passed behind his neck.

Dumpling-.

The body was torn and regenerated. The wound had healed before the bursting blood became a stream.

Todd burst into tears and laughter at the same time as the energy that filled with him.

“Ugh… !”

Todd’s gaze turned to the entrance to the barracks.

“my… , I will never forget anything of mine.”

Such a murmur came out.

bang. bang. Todd headed out of the barracks.

Todd was thirsty.

Doban’s forge.

Vera drew an unfinished magic sword from there.

“that… .”

Vera’s gaze turned to Doban. An expression that can be seen with both surprise and hesitation.

“please.”

Vera’s head turned downward.

Obviously, Orgus showed the scene with intent. Although much is not yet known, Vera recalled the speculation that the intention was related to the completion of the Demon Sword.

‘Magic swords are not completed by the master.’

Aisha’s grudge will be fulfilled. If that’s the case, I’m sure it could be done in a different way.

‘If the master piece is completed.’

was able to increase the odds.

Vera did not raise his head. He bowed his head, waiting for an answer, as if he was going to keep doing it until Doban granted permission.

Dovan clouded his expression as he looked at Vera like that.

“Are you going to fight?”

It was something he could only feel unless he was an idiot. The words he said with such a determined expression could not be the reason why he suddenly wanted to borrow a knife in the middle of the night. The Vera he had seen was not like that.

Vera raised his head, which had been bowed down until now, at Doban’s words, and picked the horse.

‘Are you going to fight?’

Wrong.

“I am going to protect it.”

It was different from fighting. The reason for drawing the sword here was not the battle, but the way to get it from the end.

Did you know the sword that guards? If you ask me that, I’ll still shake my head.

Did you hold the light in your hand? Even if you ask me, I will still answer no.

However, if you ask what is the reason for holding the sword at this moment today.

“I know there is a duty to keep, so I am going to keep it.”

He will come up with that answer.

Dovan’s gaze pierced Vera.

Dovan, who looked at Vera for a long time trying to figure out what was inside, quickly added that question.

“… I do not tell the saint.”

“Yes, I won’t tell you that Saint will be back before she coughs.”

He was sure to win, so there was no reason to worry.

“… I see.”

Dovan answered and looked at Vera.

Holding a black sword and wearing a robe was easy to see as someone with a suspicious intention, but the determination that appeared on that face erased it and left a different impression on the place.

Doban recalled the idea that it was the face of a knight.

Meanwhile, Vera turned.

“Have a good night’s sleep. I will be back before sunrise.”

Vera, who stood at the edge of his gaze, left those words and walked away.

The barracks of the three countries’ armies, which arrived after running for a long time, were in a mess.

All the barriers had fallen, and the barracks of the soldiers that had been lined up were collapsed.

As Vera was looking at it from afar, he realized that he saw a pool of blood pooling in the barracks.

That Todd ate my soldiers.

That was the way Gartea had stirred the battlefield, so it was understandable of course.

Predation.

It must have been the same tactic that devoured all enemies and allies, and restored magic.

Vera licked his lips as he recalled it.

‘Is it complete?’

Is Garthea complete?

With that thought in mind, Vera took a deep breath, erasing the anxiety that had risen from the accident.

‘… no.’

It doesn’t matter.

There is nothing to fear.

What is the meaning of protecting and covering the opponent?

Vera made up his mind and took a step forward.

That moment.

woohoo-!

The central barracks collapsed.

Between them, there was a giant that raised the body.

tod. No, you should call me Gartea.

He was three times the size of his own. A body bathing in blood and shining red.

Three horns were set above his head. There was a big hole in the place where the face should be. maybe it’s the mouth. The only thing I can’t help but guess is that the hole is rumbling and pouring out the flesh.

thud-.

Garthea stepped forward. It was a foot with no toes, the shape of a single mace below the elbow.

Vera licked his lips as he looked at Garthea, who had not yet found himself and just looked up at the sky, and while he was pounding the flesh.

“I declare.”

Wow-!

A gray divinity was overlaid over the space. Passing through Vera and Garthea, the vast domed space that encompassed the barracks and the surrounding forests was filled with divinity.

Garthea turned her head in the direction of Vera.

“Grump-.”

Even the sound of boiling sputum was so loud that it resonated throughout the room.

Vera drew out an unfinished demon sword and chanted the rules.

“From now on, all battles that will take place within this space must not be stopped until victory or defeat is decided.”

Above the space, golden rules were engraved.

Gartea took one more step forward, and there was a ‘bang’ sound.

“You must not back down. You must not violate your beliefs. You must not go against the rules.”

He recited three rules in a row.

It was his resolve to engrave in the sanctuary.

“As long as you keep it, everyone in Sanctuary will never fall.”

It was the determination of a human being to deal with the beast who forgot his duty.

Vera raised his sword. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your gaze facing forward, and the tip of your sword in the same direction as your gaze.

Garthea crouched down. muscles expand Mouth opens wider The back was heard.

“All these disciplines are enforced under the name of Lushan.”

Discipline was perfected, and Sanctuary shone.

The gray space, the golden rules engraved on it, glowed and obscured the moonlight.

thud-!

Garthea rushed.

In response, Vera took a step forward.

The street narrows in an instant.

In it, a faint golden light appeared on the demon sword.
