Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1483



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1483. Are you planning to destroy this world?

Archduke Kaiser Knauf was not on the Emperor’s side from the beginning.

No, rather, when he heard that the Emperor was consorting with warlocks, he criticized the Emperor for going too far.

―You are relying too much on your genius brain and going too far.

-Are you abandoning Mana Phtras and trying to take the hand of the evil god Shaitin?

―Evil God Shaitin is still an evil god.

―Even if the darkness is deep, morning will come. You must not stay away from Mana Phtras.

-I am concerned about the future of the empire because the emperor has gone down the wrong path.

These are all the words that Archduke Knauf said to the great nobles who followed him.

But as the world fell into darkness, he too fell into despair.

Around that time, black magicians spread something called ‘hidden history’ among the noble society.

―The god who created this world is not Mana Phtras, but Shaitin.

―Mana Phtras stole this world from Shaitin.

―As history is written with the winners in mind, the winners are called good gods and the losers are called evil gods.

―Someday Shaitin will return and reclaim his place as the Creator.

But surprisingly, the opposition from the nobles, who were bound to be conservative, was weak.

Few people were shocked.

Because Count Elio Lagoa had already made a similar claim five years ago.

At that very moment, the black magicians who had been hiding came out into the world.

Unlike in the past, the orthodox magicians and the police pretended not to see the warlocks.

It is not only because the warlocks enjoyed the protection of the royal family, but also because in a world consumed by darkness, the warlocks were more powerful than the orthodox wizards.

As the positions of the strong and the weak changed, black magicians were incorporated into mainstream society.

When the aristocratic society became tolerant of black magic, Archduke Knauf was summoned to the Emperor.

That day he learned of the pact between the Emperor and the evil god Shaitin.

Archduke Knauf did not criticize the Emperor’s decision.

Because he knew that if things continued this way, it was only a matter of time before the empire would fall.

It was not surprising, considering the Emperor’s hatred for Count Elio Lagoa.

However, the problem was that he was teaching Count Lagoa’s disciples.

I was reluctant to give in to things like godliness, chivalry, and honor.

Archduke Knauf, who had been in a dilemma, met with Count Lagoa ten days before the departure of the Abyss Conquest Army.

Count Lagoa, whom I met in person, was a superhuman beyond my expectations.

But I wasn’t sure if he was stronger than the evil god.

Rather, my worries deepened.

The conflict of ‘Who should I join hands with, the superhuman or the evil god?’ continued even after entering the Abyss.

My mind was different when I went to bed and when I woke up.

Then, through Syncrea, we learn that Count Lagoa was unable to escape the shackles of humanity.

No matter how great a human being is, he cannot defeat the Creator.

So he decided to join hands with an evil spirit rather than a human.

To protect the empire.

Count Lagoa, whom we met again at the Black Mountain, was in a weakened state.

Archduke Knauf felt human pity for Count Lagoa, but at the same time, he was relieved that his choice was right.

After that, everything went according to the emperor’s will.

Under the attack of Archduke Knauf and the Imperial Army, Count Lagoa was bleeding profusely and appeared to be on the verge of death.

Even in the midst of all this, Count Lagoa said, “I can defeat the evil spirit,” but Archduke Knauf did not believe him.

How can you fight against an evil spirit if you can’t even take back your own sword right now?

The last words, ‘I’m sorry,’ were sincere.

With those words, Archduke Knauf struck the staggering Count Lagoa’s head with his sword.

At that moment, something unexpected happened.

Flash!

Startled by the dazzling flash, Archduke Knauf hurriedly stepped back.

As he strained his eyes to see what was going on, his expression suddenly changed.

A huge sword that he had never seen before was in front of him.

Even the statues standing along the wall looked small compared to the size of the sword.

The giant black thing appeared as if it had been there from the beginning.

Archduke Knauf examined the sword with astonishment.

‘What the heck is this black thing?’

The width of the sword appears to be about 3 meters, and its length is 30 meters.

Even the weapons of the giants in mythology would have been smaller than mine.

The black object of unrealistic size seemed surprisingly to be targeting him.

Just in case, he moved towards Goliath, and the tip of his sword followed him.

‘omg!’

Archduke Knauf held his breath.

I feel infinitely humbled before an unprecedented force that I cannot resist.

Then his gaze turned to Count Lagoa.

Because there was no one here who was hostile to him.

Elio and Archduke Knauf’s eyes met in midair.

For a moment, everything stopped.

Not only the imperial army, but even the evil god Shaitin could not take his eyes off the sword that suddenly appeared.

That’s it.

Elio, who was drenched in blood, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Kekekekeke!”

As they went on, the laughter grew louder and eventually even their shoulders shook.

“Kuhahahahaha!”

Elio couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Attacking yourself in front of the evil god Shaitin?

What kind of crazy thing is this, when even joining forces to fight the evil spirits is not enough?

Archduke Knauf shouted, feeling uneasy at the appearance of the giant sword.

“Shoot! Kill Count Lagoa… … . Gasp!”

As the giant sword flew towards him, Archduke Knauf swallowed his words.

And then he stepped back and swung his huge sword with his mana blade like crazy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwaang―!

But the giant sword didn’t even nod.

Archduke Knauf, who had been cornered against the wall, grabbed the tip of the huge sword with one hand – which was pushed up to his chest.

With his other hand, he desperately struck the giant sword.

However, because the posture was not good, the impact sound was lighter than before.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng―!

Even that disappeared when a huge sword dug into his chest.

“Ugh… … .”

A frustrated groan escaped Archduke Knauf’s mouth.

He looked at Count Lagoa with eyes filled with regret.

If only I had known that Count Lagoa had this ability.

Would the outcome have been different if that had happened?

Archduke Knauf remained motionless, his eyes wide open.

It’s dead.

He went through the huge black temple wall that divided the Archduke Knauf in two.

The musketeers, who came to their senses late, pulled the trigger.

Pupupupuung!

However, the Excitium did not reach Elio.

The Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit returned at some point and blocked Elio’s path.

Tutter tutter!

The red light struck the black mask and bounced off, scattering in all directions.

Another giant sword appeared and swept past the musketeers.

Even the Grand Master cannot stand up to the nine heavenly sword spirits that cut him down.

The musketeers and the remaining Goliath were cut down without even offering a single fight.

The surviving musketeers and priests hurriedly hid behind the statue of the demon god.

No one was shooting magic guns at Elio anymore.

And so the battle between the Imperial Army and Elio ended.

Two Nine Heavenly Sword Spirits were positioned on Elio’s left and right, guarding him.

Even with the advent of the nine heavenly sword spirits, the temple did not feel cramped.

In fact, it was open not only to the left and right, but also to the front and back.

Elio looked around and slowly walked towards the evil spirit.

A thick blood line was drawn as if he had been there.

Shaitin, who was sitting on the throne, also got up from his seat and pushed away from the back of the chair.

Shaitin was over thirty meters tall, so he had to look down on Elio.

Elio and Shaitin’s eyes met.

At that moment, for the first time, the nine heavenly sword spirits let out a heavy sword command.

Woohoooo …

Jiiing―.

Shaitin was the first to speak.

“How amazing. An astral sword in a human body. Since the creation of the universe, there has never been a human like you.”

Five years ago, after Antar, Shaitin also called the Nine Heavenly Sword the Astral Sword, Elio’s curiosity grew.

The Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit was obtained from the mysterious realm of the Savior long ago.

Although the mystical realm was in the Savior, that space did not belong to the Savior.

The mystery of the mysteries was one that even the Savior could not solve.

How could even the name be so mysterious?

Five years ago, I heard about the Astral Sword from the Demon Clan Transcendent Agnes Roden, but even Agnes Roden only heard it through eavesdropping.

Perhaps this was the last chance to solve the mystery of the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.

“Do you know about the Astral Sword?”

“Do you know? You accepted it without even knowing what it was?”

“It’s the spirit of the sword.”

“It’s more than that.”

Elio tilted his head, not understanding what Shaitin was saying.

Shaitin continued speaking as Elio seemed completely unaware.

“Do you know that God’s body is based on the spirit body?”

“I see.”

Elio, who was proud, did not say he did not know.

Shaitin glanced at the Astral Sword before continuing his explanation.

“God can incarnate in whatever form he wants. This is because his essence is a spirit. Therefore, even if the spirit is destroyed, he can be rebuilt by will alone. For this reason, God is also called the immortal will (thelema).”

Elio interjected when it seemed like the explanation would become too long.

Because I don’t want to hear again a story I already know.

“I heard from the Demon Transcendent that the ‘Soul of the Sword’ is an ‘irreversible polymorph.’ That you and Mana Phtras joined forces to send it to another dimension. Is that true?”

“Huh, huh. It seems you’ve heard the ancient legend passed down among the demons.”

“… … .”

Elio waited silently for the next words to come.

“The ancient traditions are mostly correct, but there are some distorted parts.”

“What is true and what is distorted?”

“The origin of the Astral Sword and its evils are true. The Astral Sword has gone out of control, causing merciless destruction.”

“So you and Mana Phtras will join forces… … .”

“That part was distorted. Mana Phtras and I are fundamentally opposed to each other, so we cannot join forces. If we were to perish together, we would have perished, and there would be no reason to join forces, and joining forces would be even more impossible.”

“What would have happened to the Astral Sword if you hadn’t taken care of it?”

“This world was almost destroyed by the rampage of the Astral Swords. Having to live forever in the form of a sword while possessing the ego of a god… … Even a god can lose his mind.”

“So what happened to the Astral Swords?”

“Hehe, do you want to know?”

“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. That’s not the important part anyway.”

Elio took out another Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.

The Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit that appeared above Elio’s head let out an eerie sword command.

Tsaaa …

“… … .”

Shaitin’s expression distorted as another Astral Sword appeared.

“Are you planning to destroy this world?”

“I think it depends on your attitude. You were the one who tried to kill me.”

Shaitin, who was glaring at Elio, let out a long breath and spoke.

“Haa, it’s best not to use the Astral Sword. If they go berserk again, not only you but also the world you belong to will be destroyed.”

“Creator of this world, if you wish to talk, show your sincerity.”

Elio stared up at the evil spirit.

The more Elio learned about the Astral Sword, the more curious he became about the being that sent it to another dimension.

At Elio’s urging, Shaitin finally opened his mouth.

“I also don’t know who sent the Astral Swords to another dimension. One day, a hole suddenly appeared in the sky and sucked the Astral Swords in. After that, the Astral Swords never appeared again.”

“What is that… … .”

“Perhaps it was the work of the absolute being of the universe that the Titans were searching for.”

Elio thought that Shaitin’s voice sounded somehow hollow.
