Chapter 147. The Final Showdown (1)
KWA-ANG!
At the same time as Noemi's magic barrier vanished in vain.
Adel had to swallow her breath at the overwhelming pressure from the sky.
All the senses in her body were screaming, warning her.
Fwooooosh.
A being slowly descending under the night sky.
Though it was the first time she had seen him, Adel knew instinctively.
This was the beginning and end of all tragedy.
The final boss of this world and the mastermind behind all evil.
The primordial being, Primus.
"You bastard......"
Before her father and comrades could even react, Adel's body moved first.
Anger and a sense of duty swallowed her fear.
She drew the two swords from her waist.
The pure white light bursting from the blades proved her resolve.
"How dare a thing like you set foot here!!"
She kicked off the ground and rushed towards Primus as she shouted.
For her father and sisters.
And to protect this world.
Following her, Alvarez also drew his sword without hesitation and dashed forward like a gale.
But their courage was trampled upon all too easily.
Primus glanced at the two knights rushing towards him with an indifferent gaze, as if looking at insignificant cockroaches crawling at his feet.
A faint smile, whether of scorn or annoyance, even hung on his lips.
Snap-!
The sound of a light finger snap.
That was all.
"Keoheok!"
"Keuak!"
Adel and Alvarez, who had been charging fiercely, were thrown into the air with screams as if they had collided head-on with an invisible giant wall, and rolled miserably on the ground.
An excruciating pain, as if every bone in their bodies was breaking, and a suffocating pressure crushed them.
A single gesture.
With just that, the two's charge was stopped all too easily.
At that disastrous sight, everyone present was engulfed in shock and fear.
'So this is the power of the primordial being, Primus.'
Primus didn't even look at Adel and Alvarez, who were groaning on the ground.
His attention was directed at only one person.
His father.
He slowly approached his father and opened his mouth in a low voice, as if speaking to an old friend.
"So you are the Hero of this era."
His voice strangely sounded like a whisper in the ear.
My father calmly nodded his head.
Primus looked at him with interest and made a proposal with a cruel smile.
"What will you do, Hero? I'll give you a choice. Will you kill all those insignificant insects over there and be my opponent at the very end? Or will you have the last dance with me right here and now?"
At those words, Adel bit her bloodied lip.
A sense of humiliation, along with anger, wrapped around her entire body.
To think that her and Alvarez's lives were like those of worthless insects to that man.
An unbearable anger surged at his arrogance of not even paying her any mind.
But then.
My father said something unexpected.
"Could you give me a moment to think?"
For a moment, Adel doubted her ears.
Her father was bowing his head to the arrogant and cruel Primus and asking for time.
The father she knew was not one to show weakness in front of an enemy.
‘Father? You don't think that will work, do you? No, before that, why... why are you bowing your head to the enemy like that!’
She couldn't understand.
But then something even more surprising happened.
Primus, upon hearing her father's proposal, began to laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! You want time? Good! Your head works better than I thought, Hero! Fine. This too shall be a part of the entertainment."
He said as if bestowing generosity.
"I will give you a moment's time. When you have made all your decisions, come to the World
Tree site in the center of the island. I will be waiting for you there."
With those words, he vanished into thin air in an instant, as if he had never been there in the first place.
Only the overwhelming aura and fear he left behind lingered on the coldly settled battlefield.
***
After Primus vanished abruptly.
A heavy silence and a tense atmosphere hung over the remaining battlefield.
Iris, still seething with anger, questioned her father for letting Primus go.
"Father! Why on earth did you accept such a dangerous proposal? We should have all attacked him at once! No matter how strong he is, he might have had an opening!"
But her father just shook his head silently.
He pointed a finger at Adel and Alvarez, who had been knocked down by a single gesture from and were still trying to compose themselves.
"Did you not see, Iris? Adel and Alvarez, Primus defeated them without lifting a finger. Primus Even if all of us had rushed at him at once, the result would have been the same."
At those words, Iris couldn't find anything to retort.
It was certainly true.
Adel was strong enough to compete with her for the dungeon conquest ranking.
Even she was helpless against Primus, falling like a child.
She didn't want to admit it, but a frontal confrontation was meaningless with their current strength.
eventually"Then, do you have a good plan? We've bought some time, but we'll have to fight him ."
At Iris' question, her father's eyes took on a meaningful look.
In those eyes, instead of the previous anxiety, a new hope and determination were present.
"I do. Sir Aman has told me a very good method."
My father immediately called for his three sisters.
He slowly drew his sword, Balisardo, from his waist.
The sword made by Anonymous, containing her heart.
It usually emanated an extraordinary aura, but now, held in her father's hand, Balisardo was emitting an intense light as if it were alive.
"We must gather all of your powers into this sword."
My father said in a solemn voice.
"What?"
The daughters all looked bewildered.
My father explained the story Aman had told him once again.
"It is a method discovered by Mortubius, the Sage of the East. To gather the unique powers of you, the Children of God, and my power as the Hero into one, we must fully concentrate everyone's power into a powerful medium like this Balisardo."
"Gather our powers? What do we have to do?"
When Adel asked with a confused face, Aman, who was next to her, stepped forward.
He explained the method in a calm voice.
"Each of you, concentrate all your mind on the sword. And strongly imagine the image of channeling all the power in your body into this sword without holding anything back."
But even with his explanation, Noemi still looked skeptical.
"Is that really possible? Gathering powers of different properties into a single sword... I've never heard of such a thing in any magic theory I know."
"I don't know the detailed principle either. This is an ancient secret technique created by my ancestor, which is beyond human understanding."
Iris contemplated for a moment.
But soon, she nodded her head.
"...It's possible."
Everyone's gaze turned to Iris.
She looked down at the blood dagger in her hand and said.
"I had a similar experience when I used this dagger. When I concentrated all my power and will on the dagger, the blood dagger responded to my call and unlocked its true power. It's probably a similar principle."
Perhaps this was the only way.
Iris no longer hesitated and approached her father, carefully stroking the blade of Balisardo.
"I'll go first."
She closed her eyes and focused her mind.
The cold blue holy power from Lion Heart and the ominous red demonic energy obtained through the blood dagger.
She imagined pouring those two opposing powers into the single sword of Balisardo.
Then suddenly, blue and red auras began to swirl violently around her body.
Fwaaaaat!
The two energies did not push each other away, but rather mixed strangely and were sucked into the blade of Balisardo at a rapid speed.
"Ooh!"
The onlookers who were watching from the side exclaimed in amazement.
Surprisingly, Balisardo began to emit a much brighter and more intense light than before.
A little later, when she felt that there was no more power to flow out from her body, she staggered back.
"I'm next!"
Adel stepped forward with a determined expression.
When she grabbed the sword, a pure white, sacred aura flowed into Balisardo.
Finally, Noemi carefully grabbed the sword.
From her body, a deep and powerful, dark yellow magic power gushed out and wrapped around the sword.
When the powers of all three sisters were injected into the sword, Balisardo emitted a brilliant and mysterious light like a rainbow.
Everyone held their breath in front of its overwhelming aura.
But the very next moment.
The three sisters, who had poured out all their power, lost consciousness at the same time as if by promise and collapsed to the ground.
"Noemi!"
"Lady Adel!"
"Oh no!"
The first to react was Douglas Junior.
He quickly supported the falling Noemi.
Alvarez and Number 1 also rushed over and supported Adel and Iris.
But Aman reassured everyone, saying they would be fine.
"They will be fine. They just exhausted their energy for a moment after pouring out all their power. We must move them to a safe place to rest."
As soon as his words ended, Frank's three daughters were moved to a tent in the back.
Having completed their roles.
***
Frank entrusted his three fallen daughters to others and, accompanied only by Aman, walked towards the center of the island, the site of the decisive battle.
His back carried a faint hope for the secret plan that might save the world, and at the same time, a grim determination that he could lose everything if he failed.
The remaining people stared blankly at their backs for a moment.
But that leisure was brief.
Sage Rude soon came to his senses and stepped forward.
His usual relaxed and scholarly demeanor was gone, replaced by the eyes of a seasoned commander who had roamed the battlefields for many years as the Hero's companion and sage.
While Frank was dealing with Primus, here on the coast, they had to deal with another enemy.
The Lich King Nox and his legion.
Frank's three daughters had just poured all their power into Balisardo and were now unable to participate in the battle.
Rude left the fallen sisters behind and looked around at the remaining forces.
His gaze first turned to Douglas Junior, Frank's disciple, who was just awakening his Aura Sword and was on his way to becoming the next generation's Hero.
"Sir Douglas!"
"Yes, Sage!"
Douglas replied with respect.
"You will lead the warriors and stand at the forefront. You must block the approach of those Liches as much as possible!"
"I will obey your command!"
Douglas drew his sword with a grim expression.
Rude's gaze then turned to the sky.
Anonymous, who had already transformed into a dragon and was floating in the air.
"Anticus. No, Anonymous! I ask for your support from the sky. Harass the enemy's rear and prioritize dealing with the powerful individuals."
Anonymous nodded silently.
Her red eyes were already piercing through the Liches on the battlefield.
Finally, Rude shouted towards the mages, including himself, and the elf archer unit.
"We will support the front with powerful magic and arrows from the rear! We must never let the defensive line be broken!"
Rude raised the ancient staff in his hand high into the sky.
The jewel at the end of the staff shone brightly and began to gather the surrounding mana.
His voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Listen, everyone! Our Hero, Frank, has gone to face the primordial being alone to save the world! But our enemy is not just Primus! That evil Lich King and his legion are also enemies we must defeat."
Rude paused for a breath and then spoke again.
"Our mission is not just to wait for the Hero! We too must fight in our own place, in our own way! Everyone, raise your weapons! Let's show our will to those unholy undead!"
Waaaaaaaaah!"
As if in response to Rude's speech, the roar of the remaining soldiers shook the entire island.
Humans, elves, dwarves, and even vampires from the demon tribe.
Though their races were different, their eyes burned with a single will to protect the world.
"Advance!"
With Rude's final command, the allied forces finally launched an all-out attack towards the north where Nox was holding his ground.
From the sky, Anonymous breathed fire, and on the ground, Douglas Junior took the lead, brandishing his aura-clad sword.
Following him, numerous soldiers and mages charged forward with a roar.
Kwakwakwang!
Papapang!
Finally, the two giant forces clashed head-on, and Reubungwo Island was once again plunged into a great vortex of war.
A fierce and grand battle, separate from the fight between Frank and Primus, had begun.
