Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1272. Thank you, Holy Lady.

For an instant, time stopped.

No, no one moved, as if time stood still.

Even the sword master, Earl Larva Omar, can’t even breathe because of the sky-falling swordsmanship, not to mention the shock the others received.

Breathing is an act that happens automatically.

Although he was unconscious, Count Larva Omar let out a long breath after a long time.

‘The sky collapsed.’

It is not a literary expression.

Indeed, the night sky collapsed with as many sword shadows as there were stars.

And the dunes became flat.

To him, who has been on a single path of swordsmanship all his life, the life and death of the raiders are already out of his interest.

His eyes were fixed on the night sky above the flat sand dunes.

As Count Larva Omar’s head groped for the logic of swordsmanship, Elio, who was standing precariously, collapsed onto the sand.

Luna Mylus, who ran quickly and hugged Elio, said to the people.

“Don’t come any closer.”

Elio’s party, who had gathered at her resolute attitude, retreated without a word.

While Luna Mylus was looking after Elio, Count Larva Omar and Baron Fabian Howard Solon Tinelock searched the desert to check the condition of the raiders.

The blood that flowed from Elio’s body soon dyed Luna Mylus’ body red as well.

She first took a blood test and stopped the bleeding.

The blood that had been gushing out had decreased little by little, but Luna Mylus’ expression was not good.

It’s not because of the effect of hemostasis, it’s because there is no more blood to come out, so it looks like it’s reduced.

Luna Mylus touched Elio’s face with a trembling hand.

Incredibly, Elio was dying.

Elio, who reached the level of a half-body after transforming into a spiritual body, is dying?

Her common sense did not make sense.

A weapon made by humans in the Upper World had such terrifying destructive power!

After the shock subsided, she tried to find a way to cure Elio.

However, there was no way to treat multiple organ ruptures like now.

‘Please please…’

Even her wisdom, which reached the level of a god, did not help at this moment.

Elio’s breathing slowed slightly.

When it reached the point where she couldn’t even feel the ups and downs in her chest, Luna Mylus woke up.

It was clear that he would die at this rate.

She earnestly remembered Shastra Parakti, the goddess of the upper world.

‘Shastra Parakti! Save Elio! Please heal him who is dying!’

Her prayer was answered by Shastra Parakti.

Suddenly, a clear and elegant voice came into Luna Mylus’ head.

—Luna Mylus. With my holy power, I can heal him. But everything comes at a cost.

At the words of the goddess, Luna Mylus gritted her teeth.

Because there is nothing in the whole universe more precious and valuable than his life.

‘does not matter. Please heal him!’

―Keep in mind that the more you use the divine power, the closer you and I will be to the union.

Luna Mylus did not hesitate.

The reason he came to this world was not to see his end.

Soon, her lips opened.

“Shastra Parakti, please heal Elio.”

In an instant, divine power thicker than moonlight poured from the night sky over the desert like a waterfall.

The moment Count Helio Lagoa raised Longsor, the Falcon Mercenary’s gunners focused more on shooting.

In their eyes, the young adventurer was a rookie among rookies.

When the magic gun starts firing, it is only natural to lie flat on the ground.

Even sword masters crouch at first.

This is because if you are directly hit by a magic bullet, you will be injured, if not seriously injured.

There is a saying that drizzling rain gets your underwear wet.

Even light injuries can become serious if they overlap, so even sword masters lower their stance with the feeling of avoiding showers.

But that adventurer, the target, revealed himself to be a good target.

It’s like begging to be killed.

As the mercenaries immersed themselves in shooting, the leader, Auria Charles, quietly pulled away.

They say that even an earthworm wriggles if you step on it. How much more could the grand master just die?

She expected a counterattack in some way.

Of course, a counterattack would only be killing a few mercenaries, but I had no intention of becoming one of those few unlucky people.

Losing a few mercenaries was no big deal.

Mercenaries who wanted to join the Falcon Mercenary Corps lined up in Tombstone.

At that time, the night sky was unusually bright.

Auria Charles, who inadvertently raised her head, widened her eyes.

‘What what!’

The cloudless desert night sky was full of longsword shapes.

For a moment, I was terrified and goosebumps.

‘Is there such a magic?’

Suddenly recalling that Count Elio Lagoa was a magic swordsman, she leaped into the air.

Then, at a point 3 meters into the air, he flipped over and spread Edaforce to the ground.

Eda Force is her special move to break through enemy lines while rotating like a pinwheel.

At the same time, longswords stuck in the sky fell over the desert like hailstones.

Auria Charles burrowed into the sand like a mole.

As I had anxiously anticipated, a heavy shock was transmitted from behind my back without rest.

The life and death of his subordinates have long since disappeared from his mind.

Auria Charles poured Edaforce without leaving a single drop of mana.

Quadd de -!

If the sand of the Abyss hadn’t been light and soft, I would have given up right away.

However, the soft and light desert sand gave way to the sword expert’s blade.

Auria Charles, who was digging like crazy, curled up and put on a mask.

This is the ‘wind mask’ I bought in case of a sandstorm in the Abyss Desert.

‘I never thought I’d be using this here.’

Thanks to that, I was able to get past the point of death, but my body trembled in fear of the bizarre magic.

Curled up in the sand, she fell asleep from extreme exhaustion.

how much time has passed

Auria Charles opened her eyes to the pressure she was taking, but she didn’t move.

‘Did Count Elio Lagoa live? Did he die?’

She recalled the bloody body of Count Elio Lagoa, whom she had last seen.

Even if he couldn’t do it, he would have died by now since he was hit more than ten times by excitium.

It was like a grand master’s final outburst.

‘How many of his subordinates survived?’

‘How many high-end magic guns can I retrieve?’

While crouching, Auria Charles, who was planning to rebuild the Falcon Mercenary Corps, slowly began to move her limbs.

Sussuk-.

A man’s hand rose out of the sand.

Before long, a man crept up from under the sand onto the desert.

This is Auria Charles.

After a while, she came out of the sand, took off her wind mask, and took a deep breath.

“hmm! ha!”

Eventually, Auria Charles quickly looked around.

The desert was clean as if nothing had happened.

Neither the corpses of the mercenaries nor the finest magic gun given to him by Charles Manson were visible.

It must have been buried in the sand or entered the stomach of a Death Worm, a desert scavenger.

“Tsk tsk! It’s a pity.”

Mercenaries can be recruited again, but high-end magic guns cannot.

Auria Charles, who clicked her tongue, moved toward Mount Parton.

Although I regret not being able to confirm the death of Count Elio Lagoa, it was time to go back.

***

Abyss Desert.

oasis.

Elio opened his eyes and stood up, stretching noisily like someone who had just woken up.

“Aww! It hurts.”

Luna Mylus, who studied his face carefully, smiled.

“Are you awake?”

“I wasn’t dreaming, was it? He seems to have lost his mind during the fight…”

Elio groped his chest and stomach as he spoke.

It felt like I was hit by excitium here and there, but there was no pain anywhere.

“Is this a real dream? huh? Are there holes in your clothes? Wasn’t it a dream?”

Then Fabian, who was waiting nearby for him to wake up, said a word.

“It’s a dream! Lord Lagoa, who was dying, was saved by the saintess. The Holy Lady’s healing is a miracle, a miracle. Be grateful to the saintess.”

Elio looked at Luna Mylus with a puzzled face.

“Did your sister have a talent like that?”

“First of all, it is the body of a saintess. You can use Shastra Parakti’s ability, albeit a little.”

“Wow! I didn’t know. So, can I go now? If you get hurt, my sister will treat you.”

“Don’t talk like that. You can’t use divine power.”

“why?”

“If you use divine power, the time to unite with the goddess is shortened.”

Luna Mylus didn’t hide it.

Considering the shock Elio would receive when he disappeared, he had to.

“…”

At that moment, Elio’s face hardened.

It was astonishing that he, and no one else, cut off her lifespan.

Elio, who was grinding his teeth, shouted out loud.

“Fabian!”

“yes?”

“Who are you doing?”

“…a mercenary.”

“mercenary? Is that all? you already knew that Anything else that might reveal the background?”

“Don’t you remember? The sand dunes were completely overturned by swords rained down from the sky. As it became flat, all the mercenaries were buried under the sand.”

“So there are no clues?”

“I did find one mercenary corpse in a pile of sand.”

“Have you looked through your belongings?”

“There was no need for that. Because he was someone I knew.”

“Acquaintance? Could it be that company commander I met last time?”

“Yes, I looked through my belongings, but there was nothing special besides the mercenary plaque.”

“So you’re saying it could be you they were after?”

Then Luna Mylus spoke.

“That’s not right. The mercenaries who were targeting us at the entrance to the Abyss must have been Baron Forest and his party. The magic bullets used then and the magic bullets used yesterday are different.”

“Then what about Captain Forrest’s corpse?”

“I think two groups of mercenaries were put in. I think someone saw Baron Forrest’s group targeting us at the entrance and later dragged them in. The magic bullet used yesterday was completely different from the one used at the entrance.”

“ah!”

An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.

After hearing Luna Mylus’ explanation, I pictured the situation in my head.

“If you go to Exodo, you’ll find out who the last mercenaries hung out with Baron Rain Forest’s party. Until then, bear with it even if you are curious.”

“I guess so. But where are you? Are there trees and water?”

“It’s an oasis. If you go seven more days, the sea will come out.”

“Didn’t you see anything new while you were here?”

“huh.”

When Elio made a disappointed face, Fabian said a word.

“If it was so easy to find, would the theory of ‘he saw it’ still remain? By the way, are you feeling better? You were completely tattered yesterday.”

“Can’t you see? I am fine.”

Contrary to his lively voice, Elio’s expression was dark.

When I thought of the divine power poured into me, my heart felt like it was being torn apart.

‘Fuck! i’m sick Why did he run amok like a madman when he knew the dangers of excitium?’

If he had been calm, he could have easily overpowered him, but I don’t know why he was fucking like a berserker.
