089. Lost Temple (6)

One shocking thing we learned thanks to the man who brought us the Crystal of Prophecy was that those demons were very perverts who enjoyed suffering.

“The devil never dies. It is only through the fear and pain of death that it becomes stronger and is reborn.”

The unparalleled resurrection ability possessed by these devils was on a completely different level from that of the demons, who were easily cleaned up with the power of the corps.

The victim of the bokbulbok is now very candid about the origin of the ruined race that has absorbed all the power of the lord of ruin.

“The origin of the demons was actually a mixed blood that was forcibly created by contaminating ‘beings loved by the gods’ with the power of demons. Humans endowed with demonic blood and endowed with some powers, beings raised as livestock to prepare for the Second Coming of destruction and serve for him, are demons. Finally, when the Lord of Destruction reappeared, all the demons were deprived of all power and only gained a future that had entered the path of destruction.”

The Demons were the strongest race in the dimension that once set up to rule the whole world, and although they had never won against a legion, they did well in their own way.

Now, our opponents were monsters who created one such race themselves, and they were in a situation where they took all the power of the demons that had accumulated over a long period of time, ate them to their fullest, and digested them diligently.

Unfortunately, there was no good way for me to kill those demons right away and send them to heaven.

Even if it is really hard to kill countless legionnaires by exchanging their lives, how on earth will they win against those who come back to life and come back stronger after a while?

Oh, of course, this means that it’s hard to beat them with only the strength of the Legion.

“The Crystal of Prophecy has kindly informed me of a good way to kill them with certainty.”

Those who had a confrontation with the ancient demons and eventually beat them to hell, and the objects called ‘holy relics’ left behind by the nobles were able to suppress the power of the devil.

For example, even if we look at the ‘Horus of Horus’ we are holding, the army of the temple summoned through that item showed amazing ability to block all Hellfires.

The problem is that Horus’ Relic is not an item with a powerful single shot that can give eternal death to demons.

It was said that in order to follow the process of victory that the Crystal of Prophecy first showed us, more sacred relics were needed.

“Hey, you ugly devil you don’t know the name of. tell me honestly Does this sword hurt a lot?”

I looked at the demon, which was not the flames of hell, but the ashes, which were scattering and releasing all its power in all directions.

After a while, the flames of hell that had been supporting his astonished eyes and immortal body soon all dissipated as if they had never existed in the world.

“Baby. See you in heaven.”

The most important thing that can send the devil to heaven, the strongest holy object of mankind named [Excalibur] came into my hands through ‘some kind of deal’.

“… … .”

However, there was actually a big problem with this kind of transaction… … .

“great… … .”

I muttered calmly as I watched the legion’s massive army rushing in and stepping on the shit-smelling bastards of hell one by one.

“I won’t do anything even if I really beat you to death when this is all over.”

The internal circumstances were as follows.

* * *

When the corps finally began to build colonies on the frozen ground, the manager summoned everyone together with a serious and solemn expression on his face for some reason.

“I got a call from King Arthur.”

“okay? Did that man lend you [Excalibur]?”

The manager nodded and took out a sword from his arms that could ‘cut even space in an instant’.

The sword, which was swung a few times as a demonstration, showed tremendous power to forcibly create a portal by splitting the air, and the party opened their mouths wide after witnessing the tremendous anticipation emanating from the strongest blade of mankind.

“That is the legendary [Excalibur]… … .”

Kang Jin-hyeok let go of his mind and opened his mouth to the point where his saliva was dripping, and he alternately looked at his [Holy Sword] and [Excalibur], which were covered with bone powder and meat.

“This is a damn cub. Did I give it to you to slaughter?”

Of course, he had to be beaten in the back of the head by the original owner of the [Holy Sword] he was currently using for cutting meat.

“What is that… … .”

“The sword of an undefeated king, a true relic that can cut down even the devil.”

“Even just being by your side like this, your mana is boiling over… … .”

It seems that the former demon king and other high-ranking demons were very impressed when they finally saw the strongest weapon in mankind, which they had only heard about in rumors.

In particular, Stalin Castro, who was a victim of fortune and misfortune before the high-ranking demons, thought that this legendary weapon was rather severely underestimated in later generations.

“If this thing had appeared long ago, humanity would not have been defeated by the demons in vain.”

At his words, everyone’s eyes turned to the manager.

Of course, the manager was not in a situation where he could easily mobilize [Excalibur] for various reasons.

“This is truly a ‘weapon that disrupts order’. According to the pact of the gods and their agents, such weapons belong to the things that must not be revealed to the world.”

“… … Senior, how about now?”

“The agreement was made to prevent situations in which agents fight bloody battles. But what is the use of all that when the world is in danger of collapsing like it is now? Even the Demon God, who is a manager in her own way, is lagging behind, so it’s not even a battle between managers anymore, right?”

The Administrator sighed after succeeding in putting the sword back into the scabbard, very carefully, fearing that he might accidentally stab himself.

“I borrowed this also because I was going to say something well to the ‘higher person’ we serve. Besides, the owner of the sword, the old man, also set a rental condition on me.”

“… … As expected, I have a lot of thick hair to borrow something like that for free. So what are the rental conditions? point? Or well, if I fall for even one of them, he comes to me with a club. It’s not such a violent condition, right?”

The ruler of the corps joked about it, but the administrator hiccuped without realizing it at that moment.

“Oops… … The elder, you saw the old man directly hit you.”

“… … Shit, once you get hit by the old man once, you’ll never think about bringing that out of your mouth again.”

The manager, who briefly shook his body with a rotten expression as if he had chills all over his body, soon brought the corps ruler with conditions that would trigger a match.

“The conditions are simple. In exchange for lending the sword, he said he would like to make a friend he likes here as his successor.”

“… … .”

“Whoever receives this sword will now be listed among the ‘Knights of the Round Table’. In other words, he pretended to be the successor to the manager and set him up as a servant to be used. Jiwoo, you’re a quick-witted guy, so you’ll know roughly, but I don’t have to tell you directly who would really like the old man here… … .”

The ruler of the Legion, who really hates being under anyone, frowned upon hearing these absurd rental conditions.

However, the man with a fishy smile soon accepted the legendary sword without hesitation.

“You are now a knight of King Arthur. Congratulations on becoming a part of the Round Table that everyone wants.”

“… … no, old man. Do I look like someone who would do such a bother?”

The man had a very sinister smile.

“From now on, this sword is mine.”

“… … such a madman.”

The ruler of the Legion was very proud of his intention to use this opportunity to devour the legendary weapon, [Excalibur].

The faintly glowing red dot has disappeared from the sky, and the colder and colder night has arrived in the area where all the beasts of hell have been trampled on.

The fire they set melted the glacier and sprayed hot gas into the atmosphere, and the unusual cloud created by that started pouring a huge amount of snow with the momentum to rebuild the melted glacier.

“Mr. Jiu… … .”

“Yes.”

“Are you okay… … ?”

The only colleague capable of free activities in such an extreme environment was looking at me anxiously.

I was already in a state where I could not stand the cold and took off the broken suit coolly, and instead, I was protecting myself with a lot of psionic energy.

“This is cool enough.”

“You look very cold… … .”

“… … .”

It was so ignorantly cold that even if the energy disappeared for just a moment, the incarnation would be destroyed.

The blizzard was so violent that it was impossible to see without using the ability of clairvoyance, and the glacier that the guys from hell had melted was filling up again.

It’s really cold.

I feel like I want to go back quickly and rest in a warm place.

But I had to find the temple first before the Doomlord sent extra troops to bother me.

The problem was that as night fell on this moon, it got so brutally cold that not only Legion troops, but also the native creatures that originally lived in the area burrowed and ceased activity.

“If you wait until daylight, those bastards will come and play again. Maybe the Lord of Destruction himself will come to visit us.”

I slowly took out [Excalibur] from the scabbard.

“after… … I don’t know the exact location, but anyway, since they had some information, they must have been digging around here, right?”

“ah… … Is that right?”

“Then I’ll have to take a look around here.”

The moment I finished my words, a small portal opened behind me, and a brilliant golden light that dispelled darkness covered the entire area.

This small portal was a direct passage to the ‘Home of the Corps’, the very place where my hive mind body stood firm.

“Now, stay aside.”

After briefly synchronizing each other’s information, the explosive mental power of the main body poured out through the portal and nestled in [Xcalibur].

―Wow~!!!

The legendary sword, full of golden energy and roaring with a strong resonant sound, possessed formidable power to shake the earth and sky.

“Separate.”

I never learned swordsmanship. So, he held [Excalibur] tightly as if holding a two-handed hammer, and when training in the cold weather, he immediately struck the floor with an ignorant movement like driving a stake.

Flash-!!!

His posture was dog poop in my opinion, but the sight of the huge golden lightning created by [Excalibur] and mental power engulfing the frigid world in an instant was truly spectacular.

The glacier, which is thick enough to go over dozens of kilometers, cracked at once, and the unfrozen water hidden inside evaporated and soared into the sky, piercing even the blizzard with a single shot.

“OMG… … .”

The Lord of Guardians, who watched the scene with admiration with his head sticking out from behind, looked at the land of cracked ice and pointed at something.

“Mr. Jiu, that… … .”

“after… … It was right to hide here.”

The temple where the holy relics are said to have been sealed has finally revealed its mysterious appearance in front of us.
