Episode 477 My World is Completed (2)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gillian's majesty was so great that everyone was amazed.

The sight of him running around the fortress and slaughtering enemies was just like an angry lion, just as his nickname suggests.

Covered in blood, he shouted so loudly that the heavens shook.

"Don't be afraid and fight! You can endure it!"

"Wow!"

The soldiers gained strength from seeing Gillian like that. The soldiers of the Delphine army who were advancing were intimidated by his momentum.

Erenes watched the enemy wizards attack and stood still.

'That's strange.'

Even in her eyes, Gillian's skills were truly amazing. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her storm-like momentum had already created a class of its own.

It was indeed a skill worthy of a top-class knight. But that made Erenes even more curious.

'Why can't I get over the wall?'

Such skills and momentum cannot be acquired through training alone. It requires overcoming numerous obstacles. In that respect, Gillian was more than qualified to overcome the wall.

There was no shortage of mana either. She didn't know it, but Gillian had already absorbed a piece of the Dragon Heart.

However, the fact that he could not overcome the wall meant that his own world had not been properly established. Even though he had sufficiently laid the foundation for creating a world.

Erenes's worries did not last long. The battle was unfolding so quickly that he had no time to dwell on them.

"Salaam, burn everything."

Phew!

A giant fire lizard appeared beneath the fortress and started shooting flames.

Paaaaah!

"Kwaaaaak!"

The soldiers who were climbing up fell down, engulfed in flames. The ladders attached to the fortress walls also burned and collapsed.

Thanks to her summoning of three high-level spirits, the Delphine army's advance was halted for a moment.

Taking advantage of the gap, Dark flew towards Gillian.

"Hey, Gillian."

"And you? How did you get here already?"

Gillian was startled. Dark appeared before the assault team even arrived.

Dark said, raising his head arrogantly.

"Haha, hold on a little longer. The master is bringing the mobile force. He's bringing a really great friend."

"That went well."

Gillian's expression brightened. At least two days until Kaor and Belinda arrived. He had resolved to hold out until then, even at the cost of his own life, but Giselle was already coming.

I didn't even wonder who my companions were coming with. With just the power of Jiselle, the Mobile Force, and myself and Erenes here, we could definitely win.

"Everyone, listen up! The Lord is coming here now! The Northern Commander is coming! So just hold on a little longer!"

"Wow!"

Not only the Northern Army, but also the Royal Army all cheered without exception.

The name of Jisel, who is moving beyond the strongest in the North to become the strongest in the kingdom, is a symbol of victory.

As soon as they heard that name, everyone's spirits soared to an unspeakable level.

When he comes, he will definitely win. He is an undefeated monarch. That was the belief firmly established in everyone's mind.

Of course, that's only possible if you hold out until Giselle arrives.

Phew!

"Keep going!"

Dark's clone was hit by a sudden blast of black energy and burst into pieces.

Gillian stepped back just in time to avoid it.

Taat.

The one who came up lightly above the fortress was the judge of the Salvation Church.

"Tsk, it was a crow by any chance… … Hmm? What, where did the body go? Did it turn to dust?"

The Dark made of mana just burst and disappeared, so there was no way a corpse would remain.

"Hmm, I guess I attacked too hard. Are you the commander here… … the White Lion Gillian? I am Caspar, the Judge of the Salvation Church."

The priest of the Salvation Church, who introduced himself as Kaspar, had a cruel smile on his face.

Gillian is a key force in the Northern Army that is ranked first among those to be killed by the Duke.

If you kill me here, you will be doing me a great service.

"Wow!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Once again, the Delphian army began to rush forward, using ladders to propel them against the walls. Salim, who had been causing chaos below, was once again sealed off by the wizards.

Anyway, the fortress blocked by the curtain was left alone and the rampaging spirits were subdued.

Because now that our forces have entered, we can't use large-scale attack magic.

As the High Priest appeared, Gillian looked at Erenes. It was her job to deal with superhumans.

Then Erenes used the spirit of the wind to whisper softly in Gillian's ear.

- How about you try dealing with it?

"what...."

- If you hold him, I can stop the enemies with less damage.

"… … ."

That wasn't a wrong statement.

But the opponent is a superhuman. Can he really stop him?

Before he could finish his worries, Caspar made a move.

Kwaaaaang!

"Huh!"

Gillian was pushed back, blocking with his axe. The force and speed were incredible. If he had been even a little bit later, his head would have been blown off.

"Ugh!"

But Gillian immediately braced herself with her legs and brought the axe down.

Kagakak!

Caspar, who had been following closely, retreated with a long wound on his chest.

"This guy… … !"

Caspar's expression twisted in anger. Who would have thought he would be able to perform such a powerful attack in such a position? He certainly lived up to his reputation as a skilled man.

Kwaaang!

Caspar rushed in again and attacked Gillian. His strength and speed were superhuman, strong and fast.

Kang! Kaang! Kaang!

Gillian had a hard time blocking Caspar's attack with his bare hands. Even though he had gathered a lot of mana, the blade of the axe was getting sharper every time it collided with his hand.

"Hahahaha! You're nothing special either!"

Caspar laughed loudly and pushed Gillian.

Kaspar's skills were so poor that it could be described as crude. At best, they were only basic martial arts.

But the problem was that feeling of living in a completely different time.

Phew!

"Ugh… … !"

Gillian's body, unable to keep up with the speed, began to rip and bruise all over.

Gillian gritted her teeth.

The difference between a top-class knight and a superhuman is just a sheet of paper.

Because the highest level knights can become superhumans at any time as soon as they gain enlightenment.

But if you don't achieve enlightenment, you may not be able to climb until you die. That's why the difference of that one piece of paper was so far away.

Now that one piece of paper was dividing Caspar and Gillian perfectly.

"Kuhahaha! The White Lion was known for his great reputation, but he's nothing special."

Caspar deliberately provoked Gillian further. But in reality, his speed was not that comfortable.

'Why isn't it a critical hit?'

With his lack of skill, he didn't realize that Gillian was fighting while anticipating every attack. He didn't understand why he couldn't kill him even though he was occupying another time.

And one more thing.

"Eww!"

The allies are having trouble getting to the top of the fortress. An elf is summoning spirits to slaughter them.

The knights wearing strange armor there were also very good. They were so fierce that the knights of our army were unable to properly occupy the fortress.

We need to somehow make a proper entrance so that the soldiers can come up and gather.

'I guess I'll have to catch him first!'

Caspar's eyes lit up.

There was a reason why no one rushed in around here.

He left himself to Gillian and the rest of them went about killing their allies.

As Caspar turned to attack Erenes, Gillian moved.

Kaaaaang!

"this guy!"

Caspar swung his axe in anger. He was covered in blood and was trying to grab his ankle.

"You really seem to want to die!"

The black energy from his body surged more intensely. In an instant, a pillar of black light rose from where Gillian had been.

Kwaaang!

It was quite a large area, but Erenes surrounded the soldiers with spirits to protect them.

But she couldn't even touch the center of the pillar.

grasp!

Gillian managed to escape with a lot of mana wrapped around his body. Every part of his body was burning.

But Gillian still had a distorted expression on his face as if he was angry, and he swung his axe with his teeth clenched.

Kaaaaang!

Even though it was an axe with a sharp blade, it was loaded with tremendous strength.

Caspar raised his arm to block the axe, then took advantage of the gap to reach out again.

Paaaaang!

There was a sound like something bursting and Gillian fell backwards.

"Ugh, you annoying kid. I'll definitely kill you."

Caspar approached Gillian with a distorted expression. The knights of Fenris who saw him came running in a hurry.

"Instructor!"

Erenes also frowned and turned his head.

'In the end, you couldn't get over it.'

If it were that easy to overcome, the world would be full of superhumans. It was unfortunate, but it was also natural, so Erenes cheered up.

He had summoned three high-level spirits and was quite exhausted, but now he had to hold on to the superhuman.

At that moment, Gillian stood up from her seat, trembling, and shouted.

"Everyone, stay in your positions!"

The knights who had been running towards him stopped at that shout. Accustomed to such situations, they bit their lips and went back to dealing with the Delphian army.

"Phew… … ."

Gillian took a deep breath and straightened his back. He still stood firm like an iron tower, his fighting spirit burning fiercely.

Erenes, who saw those blazing eyes, spoke again through the wind.

― I don't know what's stopping you. If it were Earl Fenris, he would have already taught you.

After a brief pause, she continued speaking.

― Take this opportunity to risk your life and establish your world. Opportunities like this don't come often.

If a top-tier knight fights a superhuman, there is a high chance that he will lose his life.

But if you are a priest of the Salvation Church who is a superhuman but whose skills are significantly lacking.

Maybe this is your chance to risk your life and climb over the wall.

Erenes turned away after saying those words, intending to leave it to Gillian for a little longer.

Caspar exuded a genuine murderous aura.

"This guy will… … until the end."

Rumors were spreading that the high priests of the Salvation Church were half-superhumans. In the midst of all this, Gillian, who wasn't even a superhuman, kept attacking them, which really hurt their pride.

However, we couldn't just burn down the entire area, because our allies were also rushing in.

In the end, I had to take that guy's life myself.

"I'll smash that head in!"

Kwaaang!

Caspar and Gillian face off again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gillian continued to suffer injuries, but did not back down. His attacks, without regard for his life, were enough to make even Caspar flinch.

The range of movement of the two was extremely short, as they tried to get close to each other and inflict fatal damage on each other.

In that short period of time, Gillian was badly injured to the point of being reduced to a rag. On the other hand, Caspar was fine, except for looking a little tired.

Kwaaang!

Even though the axe blade was half-cut, Gillian did not stop attacking.

'Just a little more… … .'

I thought I could get over it if I just did a little more, but I couldn't. I realized once again how high the wall of superhumans is.

― If it were Earl Fenris, he would have already taught you.

Yes, Giselle gave generously to herself.

Not only the Dragon Heart Fragments, but also the skills that everyone would covet.

With his natural talent and long experience, as well as the teachings of Giselle, he should have reached the level of a superhuman long ago.

But why hasn't he been able to overcome the wall yet?

'Why haven't I established my world yet?'

Phew!

As Caspar's hand brushed against her neck, blood gushed out. The mana that had been surging endlessly began to run out.

Even the efficiency of using energy was different from that of a superhuman. In order to handle a superhuman's attacks, he had no choice but to use a huge amount of mana.

'Why am I… … .'

When my life was threatened, my first thought was anger.

His belief is pure. Following it out of grace was just an opportunity.

'My lord… … .'

It has been a long time since Giselle's dream became my dream. I want to see how far that great man can go. I want to join him on that historic journey.

His loyalty is an unwavering will that will never be broken. He would give up his life for Giselle at any time.

His world had already been established like that.

But why can't I get over the wall yet!

'why!'

In the midst of the burning anger and resentment, the darkness hidden deep within Gillian's heart quietly rose to the surface.

'Do you have the qualifications to do so?'

He was a lowly mercenary.

He took up the sword at the age of ten to make a living. From a young age, he lived as a mercenary's lackey.

Of course, I did a lot of dirty things. For survival, for profit, for my colleagues. I made all kinds of excuses.

No matter how you package it, you can't deny that it's the life of a mercenary.

I lived so freely. As I gained a lot of experience and skills, there was nothing rougher.

He gained a small amount of fame. He lived arrogantly because he was proud of his own abilities.

So much so that even the most noble of nobles would ignore it.

Then I met Giselle. I decided to spend the rest of my life dedicating myself to the man who had done me a favor.

'I've definitely lived like that.'

I followed his will, fighting without sparing my life. I did not care about life.

But he had been a mercenary his entire life. Longer than he had been with Giselle.

That's why it felt like I was wearing clothes that didn't fit.

Knight, loyalty.

Aren't these words words that don't suit you at all?

Do you really deserve this?

I'm confused. Why am I having these thoughts now?

Jiselle has been criticized a lot over the years. People say she brings along lowly mercenaries.

I was used to hearing insults directed at me, so I could ignore them. However, whenever I heard such words, I worried that they might be damaging Giselle's reputation.

Because I feel like I'm contributing to that reputation.

Gillian, a lowly mercenary.

That was his identity and his past, which was as arrogant as it was self-deprecating.

'Actually, I was... ... just looking for a place to die with honor, wasn't I?'

Or is it because you want to make a name for yourself by being with Giselle?

I was still confused.

Giselle didn't care about anyone's reputation.

A person who was more like a mercenary than anyone else, even though he wasn't a mercenary. A person who eventually created a mercenary group.

Many people flocked to him, captivated by his charm. Many powerful people took up residence around him.

He, who was once a scoundrel in a poor estate, has now grown to be called the strongest in the North.

'Am I really needed now?'

So Gillian found a reason. She found a reason again and again why she had to be with him.

Now, it wasn't enough to just fight for him.

There is no reason for me to drag this old body to be with that person in that other world… … .

Suddenly, I remembered the time when he cured my daughter's illness.

― You said you would cure the disease? Why do you need a grand reason to cure a sick person?

'… … .'

He came to her out of the blue and threatened to cure her daughter's illness. When she asked him why, Giselle said that.

He was that kind of person. A person who moved wherever his heart and feet took him.

However, he is a person who still holds firm to his heart for the land and its people.

― I don't force hobbies on people who don't want them. What can I do if they don't want them?

Giselle gave herself the right to refuse from the beginning.

It was he who decided to follow Giselle. It wasn't Giselle who forced him to do so.

'I see.'

Kwaaang!

The fleeting thought disappeared with the sound of something exploding.

I felt the gap in time. Countless thoughts passed through my mind in a split second.

Gillian looked at her right hand, covered in blood and wounds all over her body.

The axe was completely smashed and disappeared, leaving only the handle.

"It's the end!"

Caspar raised his hand with a joyful laugh. It was now time to pierce the heart of that damned white lion.

At that moment, a crow cried out and flew towards Caspar.

"Yaaaaaaap!"

puck!

Dark's body slam hit Caspar in the excited face.

"what!"

Taking advantage of the gap, Gillian turned her body slightly.

Phew!

Thanks to that, Caspar's hand dug into Gillian's right chest.

"Coolook!"

He avoided instant death, but was seriously injured. Gillian vomited blood from his mouth.

"Gillian! Wake up! The master is here now… … ."

Paaaaak!

As Caspar swung his other hand, Dark reappeared and burst into flames while speaking.

"What is this crow chick? Didn't it die a while ago?"

While Caspar was momentarily distracted by the talking crow, Gillian looked back outside the fortress.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

Here he comes, he is coming.

They are running towards us with the momentum of sweeping away the battlefield, waving the flag of Fenris.

Jiselle's voice rang out like thunder.

"Gillian!"

"My lord… … ."

"I'm here! Hang in there!"

Gillian smiled, showing blood-covered teeth.

If you're told to fight, then fight. If you're told to protect, then protect.

And if they tell you to hold on, then just hold on.

Gillian muttered with a smile.

"I thought too much. I didn't know there was darkness inside me."

"You're finished, Gillian."

Caspar tried to pull his hand away, but Gillian held his hand tightly with her left hand and said,

"I am the sword and shield of the lord."

"What?"

"I will punish my lord's enemies and I will protect my lord. That is what I consider loyalty. And… … Loyalty does not necessarily require qualifications."

"What is this crazy guy talking about?"

Caspar exerted his strength, but his hand would not slip out of his strong grip.

It was absurd to say that he was not pushed back by his own superhuman strength.

"Where did this guy get such strength!"

Caspar tried to attack Gillian with his other hand, but Gillian was faster.

Phew!

The axe handle pierced Caspar's neck with lightning speed.

"Ugh, ugh… … ."

Gillian said, glaring at Caspar with burning eyes.

"Today, my world is complete."

On the axe handle that pierced Caspar's neck.

A fiercely glowing aura blade rose up.
