Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1477



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1477. I see a black mountain!

Astaroid.

It has a humanoid appearance, but has horns on its head and is 3 meters tall.

The Astaroids flying in with their white wings fluttering hold flaming swords in their hands.

It was clear that they came with the intention of fighting, not talking.

Astaroid was like a human swordsman, capable of attacking from a distance as well as up close.

Elio looked back at the cockpit reflexively.

This is because, although he is a staff member of the expeditionary force, he does not know the imperial army’s guidelines for action.

No one asks what to do in a situation that is on the brink of disaster.

That meant that Archduke Knauf had complete control over the Imperial Army.

As expected.

The aircraft slowly turned to the right.

It is turning direction to shoot the magic cannon.

Elio frowned as he recalled the battle with the Barak tribe.

During the fight against the intermediate demons, six airships were destroyed.

Moreover, the opponent in front of you right now is a high-level demon.

It would not have been surprising if the remaining six airships had all been destroyed.

It seems that Elio is not the only one who thought that way.

Apostle Anna Ramakrishna approached with a pale face.

“Count, are you going to fight?”

“I think so.”

“I took a lot of damage even against a mid-level demon… … . Are you okay?”

How could it be okay?

But Elio didn’t dare say those words out loud.

“I don’t know either.”

That’s true.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly at the recklessness of the imperial army.

Did you think that the airship would run away when it turned around?

The asteroids flying in a straight line raised their flaming swords high.

Urrrrrrrr!

Thunder rumbled above the unequal sky.

When Elio saw that, he immediately kicked off the deck and jumped onto the airship.

Before he knew it, he had the Sword of Void in his hand.

As the lightning struck, he swung his sword in the air.

Kkwarreung! Kkwarang―!

The lightning was focused on his sword.

White flames flew ceaselessly from the Void Sword where brain energy had gathered.

Then, Elio, riding on a cloud, charged at Astaroid with his flaming sword in front.

Behind him, a trail of flames stretched like a meteor’s tail.

Arriving in front of Astaroid, Elio swung the lightning on his sword like a whip.

Kwarrrrung! Kwarrrrung!

Every time the whip struck Astaroid, a thunderous sound was heard.

The asteroids that were hit by the brain were bounced left and right.

Elio, who had released a lightning bolt, pushed the aura back into the tip of his sword.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The Aura Blade took the place of the brain.

An aura blade nearly thirty meters long struck the center of the Astaroid.

The asteroids didn’t just take it easy either.

Half of them dodged, but the other half blocked the Aura Blade with their flaming swords.

But the moment the Flame Sword and Aura Blade met, Astaroid’s body flew away with an explosion.

Bam! Bam!

It was as if a tiger had jumped into a flock of sheep.

Only then did the Astaroids realize that their opponents were no ordinary humans.

Iskandar, the chieftain of the Astaroids, leapt forward and shouted.

“Who are you!”

“I am the human warrior, Lord Elio Lagoa.”

“Your Majesty… … are you?”

Iskandar looked at the human with bewildered eyes.

Standing proudly on a piece of cloud, he was undoubtedly a transcendent being.

There is no such monarch in the Abyss, so it was probably the monarch of Tameion.

“I am Iskandar, the chieftain of the Astaroids. But why, Your Majesty, are you with the humans?”

“Didn’t I just say that? I’m a great warrior of the human race.”

“What is that… … No, rather, we are fighting under the orders of Lord Shaitin. Please step aside.”

“Back off. I don’t want a fight.”

“Back off? They came to occupy the Abyss. Have you forgotten the humiliation of Mahakab?”

In Mahakab, the evil god Shaitin was defeated by the Titans and hid in the Abyss.

From then on, mentioning Mahakab was taboo among the demons.

Iskandar’s mind was so anxious that he broke the taboo.

“Don’t make a fuss, we haven’t come to occupy.”

“If not occupation, then what?”

“I will go back after breaking just one thing on the black mountain.”

“Huh! The dogs of Mana Phtras are going up the holy mountain? No! Even for your lord, that is not allowed! I warn you! Get out of the way! This is the will of Shaitin!”

As Elio and Iskandar were arguing, the sound of gunfire was heard from afar.

Finally, the magic cannon was fired from the airship.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Astaroids flew around with an ear-piercing explosion.

The bombardment was indiscriminate.

Even magic shells fell around Elio.

Kkwang-!

Elio quickly pulled up his helmet as he heard an explosion nearby.

Pupupupupu!

Sharp pieces of iron and fireballs crashed into the steel curtain wall.

‘huh?’

Elio’s gaze turned downward at the burning pain.

Several reddish iron pieces were embedded in the armor and legs.

The moment he remembered Excitium, he felt goosebumps.

It was clearly a new weapon, as it was strong enough to pierce through even one’s own self-defense mechanism.

I looked around hurriedly.

As expected!

Astaroid, a high-level demon, was also falling helplessly like Barak.

Of course, the number is small compared to Barak, but the fact that he suffered fatal injuries is significant.

Iskandar was also surprised and quickly returned to the group.

Elio quickly got away from the Astaroid.

Astaroid looked visibly bewildered, as if surprised by the destructive power of human weapons.

But the confusion didn’t last long.

A magical field formed in front of Astaroid.

Unlike the Barak tribe who simply charged forward without thinking, the Astaroids used their shields to advance.

Unlike before, a magic shell exploded in front of Astaroid.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwaang―!

However, the red debris and flames did not reach Astaroid.

The distance between Astaroid and the airship gradually narrowed.

Elio frowned when he saw that.

He hated the Imperial forces firing magic cannons over his head, but he couldn’t let the airship be destroyed.

Elio raised the Sword of Void.

Soon, the incarnation of the sword fell like hail on Astaroid.

A few Astaroids hastily raised their shields above their heads, but it was already too late.

Kwakwakwakwa!

With a heavy crashing sound, the Astaroid began to fall downwards.

Chieftain Iskandar gnashed his teeth at the attack of the self-proclaimed human champion.

As he drew a semicircle with his flaming sword, the formation of the Astaroids changed.

Half of it is unfair, the other half is directed at the human warriors.

Elio ignored the Astaroids flying towards him and continued to attack only the Astaroids heading towards the airship.

The sword incarnation continued to strike Astaroid without stopping.

Astaroid, who had been facing forward with his shield open, was helplessly hit by the sword incarnation.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The Sword Incarnation has a destructive power as strong as a normal magic cannon.

If it weren’t for Astaroid, we would have been wiped out long ago.

But there is a limit to how much you can endure.

The momentum of the Astaroid that was flying towards the airship was completely broken.

Meanwhile, Astaroid, who had gathered around Elio, was not just watching.

A black beam of light called the Blade of Darkness surged towards Elio.

Elio avoided the Blade of Darkness with the help of the new method of the Ihyeonghwanwi.

But the end of the heteromorphic cycle was always a cloud.

Because unless you have a stepping stone, you need something to step on.

Then, the quick-witted Astaroid poured out his dark blades into the cloud mass.

Bam! Bam!

Elio smiled bitterly as the Dark Blade was deflected by the Hosin Ganggi.

Even though you know this, you still suffer.

But it was still bearable.

I really wanted to use the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit, but I held back.

There is a saying in martial arts that goes, “Hide the talent of three pennies.”

I didn’t want to show the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit to the Imperial Army or the Demons yet.

Just as the Imperial Army had kept their new weapon hidden until the very end, so too had he.

Elio avoided the attack with a strange sound and silently unleashed his Cheonsan Sword Spirit.

Perhaps because he thought the Dark Blade alone was not enough, he also sent fireballs and lightning magic.

Hwarururuk!

Phage crackle!

Elio dodged the fire and lightning like a loach and launched his Thousand Mountain Sword Spirit.

Kwakwakwakwa!

It was a war of wits for both sides.

But the fight didn’t last long.

No matter how high the Demon Race was, Astaroid was no match for the monarch from the beginning.

The number of asteroids has noticeably decreased.

Chieftain Iskandar, who had felt his limits, shouted in a voice devoted to evil.

“Lord Lagoa! Do you not fear the wrath of Shaitin?”

Elio answered in a nonchalant tone.

“I have no regrets even if I die now. Why should I be afraid of Shaitin?”

Iskandar, who had been gnashing his teeth, put down his flaming sword and turned around.

The Astaroids who were watching the conversation between the two also lowered their flaming swords.

“I’m going back.”

At Iskandar’s words, one of the Astaroids following him blew its horn.

Phew!

The Astaroid that was attacking the airship stopped fighting and retreated.

The airship did not fire its magic cannon at the departing Astaroid.

I was afraid that it might lead to another fight.

The asteroids that had surged in like a flood were now receding like an ebb tide.

Elio turned his head towards the airship.

There were only three ships floating in the sky.

If you lose six ships to intermediate demons and three ships to advanced demons, you’ve succeeded.

Suddenly, I felt regretful that I should have intervened more strongly from the beginning.

But if you think about it, it’s not your fault.

It is not without reason that the Imperial Army hid their power and tried to avoid him.

Looking at the three airships, the fortress of Glaces came to mind.

Even though he was at a disadvantage then, he won by defeating the Demon Lord.

‘After all, it’s the evil god Shaitin.’

When I first heard that name in this other world, I never even thought about fighting him.

I didn’t encounter it even when I was adventuring through the Abyss, so I thought it was someone else’s business.

I was skeptical when I joined the Abyss Expeditionary Force.

But just a moment ago, Iskandar, the chieftain of the Astaroids, spoke of Shaitin’s anger.

This means that the evil god Shaitin is behind the attack.

Elio returned to the airship.

Fortunately, the airship he was riding on was safe.

Elio sighed as he saw Syncree Jeter and Apostle Anna Ramakrish from afar.

They are very lucky to have survived the fierce battle with the upper class demons.

Syncree asked with a surprised face after seeing Elio’s lower body covered in blood.

“Master, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

Elio sat down on the player and pulled the shrapnel out of his leg.

Blood appeared for a moment, then stopped.

“Could that be a fragment of a magic cannon?”

“uh.”

Elio threw the fragment he was holding out of the airship with a cold face.

“Oh my! I’ll go and get some medicine right away.”

After finishing speaking, Sinklair ran into the cabin.

After a while, Elio applied the medicine that Syncrea had given to his leg.

Elio, who had just finished his treatment, asked Syncrea.

“What is the damage situation?”

“As you can see, three of the airships were destroyed. I don’t know about the others, but half of our knights and musketeers were killed. There are forty-five survivors.”

Elio nodded.

If we assume that there were roughly that many survivors left per ship, there would have been about one hundred and twenty people left.

It was astonishing that the number dropped from one thousand two hundred to one hundred and twenty in two days.

“But what kind of medicine makes it sting like this?”

Elio stomped his feet nervously as he spoke.

“Hold on. It’s a new wound medicine that was just released. It stings, but it’s definitely effective.”

“Can I trust you?”

“I don’t know. That’s what the therapist who gave me the medicine said.”

“Really? By the way, what were you trying to say earlier?”

“Just now? Oh! I don’t know. I don’t remember, so I don’t think it’s important.”

“No, not that.”

Elio’s mouth opened slightly as he turned his head outside the airship.

“uh?”

It seemed like a black mountain was visible far away.

As Elio strained his eyes, the shouts of the sentinels were heard from above his head.

“I see a black mountain at 1 o’clock!”
