Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 285



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 93

Cheongseong Mirngardia headed to the Bloody Cathedral.

The crater, or underground area, was vast.

On the sands of the vast old city of Larien, a cathedral stood alone, radiating blood-red light.

– Here is Kaduel, waiting to liberate Hisgivid! Give me the signal and I will open the way!

This is a welcome remnant of the past… … .

The history of martyrdom carved into this land remained as a remnant, and Mirngadia was able to see it.

Battle of Negalas.

– This is Shurigan. Alcaios is currently sealing Neigalas’ movements. Tervel is almost done reciting the prayer of the dawn lightning.

– Shurigan’s barrier can’t hold out much longer. Hurry up!

– I understand, Your Majesty Jeanneir.

– Carduel, I’ve marked the location for the nuke. Blow it up!

– Yes, Captain.

An illusion is seen of the True Sword Hisgivid flying through the dimensions, twisting and distorting them, and punching a huge hole in Neigalas’ chest.

– One more step available! Waiting for your command! Speak anytime!

Even as if that level of attack was nothing, Neigalas quickly restored his body, and at that moment, a ray of light from the hand of Tervel, the sun of the sky, gathered into a lightning bolt.

– One second. Eldia Alma (01), Bete (02), lock onto the target for just one second. I’ll finish you off.

Cheongseong Mirngardia smiled sadly as she saw the appearance of Yong-Hyeon from the and Eldia, who went to the limbs themselves instead of sending someone to the limbs.

‘father…….’

Am I following in your footsteps right now? I just have to keep ordering someone to die.

‘All my life, I’ve tried to be like you… … .’

The old war’s welcome ended there.

When Cheongseong had a glimpse of the past, there was an army of Naigalas stalking behind him in camouflage. They were reptilians.

Cheongseong wiped them out with just a snap of his fingers.

‘Now even the reptilians have awakened.’

I guess I’ll have to hurry.

[Jacquard: This is a fierce battle, enemies are pouring in endlessly!]

[Mate: All units begin aerial bombardment!]

[Kishien: Master, the left section of the city is being breached!]

[Mate: We can’t cover you that far! Ain artillery, fire here! Ogre and troll daggers appear, can’t be stopped! I repeat, can’t be stopped! Coordinates 7-4-1-1-2! Request artillery support!]

Inside the crater, where the blue star already exists, tectonic cracks have begun.

The lava, incomparable to the city of , was covering the entire like an ocean.

The barrier of Shurigan was the only thing that was holding back the flow, and the barrier that recognized Mirngardia as the water dragon Yeriserica opened on both sides.

[Halvaron: Coordinates confirmed. Steam core warming up, incendiary bombardment commenced! 25 seconds until bombardment arrives. All personnel of the Forerunner Corps, close to the danger zone, close to the danger zone, prepare for bombardment!]

[Jacquardrin: Hahahahahaha! This is crazy! The ogres are just getting destroyed! I can’t believe only Ain’t been using such good stuff! Even my heart is burning!]

[Zeroni: No time to babble! You idiot! Get over here quickly! Hurry up, hurry up before we get isolated again!]

The futuristic corridors leading to the Bloody Cathedral could only be traversed by following the guidance of Shurigan’s light.

however…….

Cracks were also detected on the floor, and lava was boiling up like a geyser through the cracks, and suddenly the ground in front of me collapsed.

[Niven: Here, we are replacing the assault corps and the operational formation as we have received shells from the Ain artillery. We will circle the sky and cover the retreat route, that’s all!]

It is the embodiment of evil.

The shape of solidified lava or a moving volcano… … .

Mauna Loa, the two demons, stretched out their arms and raised their evil forms above the earth.

‘The end of the seal is near. The Mauna Loa are multiplying at a rapid rate.’

Cheongseong narrowed his eyes.

“Cultivate yourself and keep your dignity. This is sacred ground.”

Just as the high-ranking Mauna Loa were about to pour lava out of their spouts, Mirngadia reached out her hand.

This is a wave… …?

No, is it a tsunami… …?

A huge amount of water that could not and did not exist here suddenly sprang up and covered the demons, freezing them in that state.

[Niven: Asher! The guys on the third floor roof are setting up an anti-aircraft net! You take care of it!]

The master is making small plans and making big moves.

An improved version of the immortality technique created by the collaboration of the great magician Rin and the Fire Dragon priestess Friede into an instant suppression device.

There is an unparalleled difference in power between what a mortal being uses and what a being holding the Dragon’s Pearl uses.

[Florette: More than half of the refugees have been sent off by train! Seniors, please hurry and come to the train station!]

Cheongseong grabbed the hand that was extended to him.

Then, the streamers that had been running across the surface of the ice transformed into roots of light, plunging into the ice and piercing the demon’s body.

The flesh pierced by the light crumbles into ashes and is purified. Cheongseong just passes by and doesn’t check the results.

[Niven: That’s, damn it! High-risk entity infestation! I repeat, high-risk abyss entity infestation! This is definitely the Lava Tank Chieftain! Approaching at high speed!]

Cheongseong finally entered the center of the cathedral.

The defense functions of did not recognize Cheongseong as an enemy, and instead opened the way to the control room.

In the control room, a globe, made translucent by optical technology, was rotating. Cheongseong placed his hand on it.

[Jacquardrin: Finally, someone to offer my flame to has appeared! Senior Zeroni, I’ll take care of him! Get out of here! Please take care of my disciple Bowen!]

The access code was the Yeouiju of the Suryong Yeriserika. Cheongseong successfully took over control of the control room.

Countless light images were created using the technology of .

The current overall situation of , in short, is a projection of despair onto those statues.

[Zeroni: You, you idiot… … Don’t you know what that means right now?]

[Jacquardrin: It’s not how long a fire burns, but how intensely it burns that people remember it! Hahahahahahaha! It’s fun!]

[Bowin: Master, I don’t like it! Let’s fight together and escape together! Since His Majesty the Qing is here, we can live together!]

[Zeroney: Yeah, I don’t have the luxury of taking your disciple either! Even if I had, I wouldn’t take him! You have to come alive and bring your disciple with you! Do you understand? If you don’t, I’ll kill you!]

Mirngardia, who had mastered all the languages ​​of creation by the age of seven, quickly entered commands into the control room.

Ru butex AL 77 – 1 OX.

This command was a response to the uncontrollable ‘seal collapse situation’, and was to transfer the power that was maintaining Neigalas’ barrier to the power of all the city’s defense measures.

[Eshir: What the heck? The ancient photon cannon turrets have been activated! The enemies are being swept away!]

[Mosuna: You did it, Your Majesty! I was counting on you!]

[Zeroni: No, but it’s strange! The demons have also become stronger! The abyssal reaction is so strong that their whole body is shaking under the ground. Did you really break the king’s seal?]

What formed the ground of the cathedral control room was not material, but a barrier.

As the power of the barrier was transferred to the defense system, the floor began to break apart into molecules and reorganize into a new shape.

Yes, the path to the heart of the seal opens… … and beyond the gap where the floor scatters with blood-red fog.

‘You just opened your eyes.’

Fear?

Evil?

Evil?

‘The sea I longed for.’

At the center of the eyes, burning and boiling like lava, was the core of evil that enthralled, twisted, and swallowed everything… … It was the pupil of Naigalas.

“Ho, ho, ho, I’ve seen it myself. What a pretty child you are. I’m honored that you woke me up from my sleep.”

Unable to rebuild his physical body yet, Negalas used lava to take the form of his old nightmare.

But the mental body was an exception.

All gods possess a beauty that transcends the aesthetic sense of this world. They have a more beautiful appearance than any other being.

“Your appearance is so blasphemous that it dares to resemble the form of the Absolute, but you are still beautiful and worthy of my blessing.”

The spirit body of Naigalas resembles the form of a dragon.

Since Karenden created the dragon race by imitating the fighting power of Yotos Yole Yotiatos, it would be correct to say that the dragon resembles Naigalas.

The dragon-like armor sublimates the feminine and alluring appearance with the majesty of a king, and the lava-covered tail moves beautifully as if trying to seduce and devour all life in the world.

– Mir, Mirmir!

From the red hair that looks like flowing lava to the eyes… … .

At first glance, it reminds me of

The red flame of Aquilea.

However, even though their appearances were similar, their atmospheres were completely different. It was not a cheerful and warm smile, but a sinister and eerie smile.

“Come to me. Hehehehe, I will change you into a more pure form that suits my taste and give you great blessings.”

Jumping in front of that absolute evil, Cheongseong clasped both hands together as if praying. This was a prayer posture to maximize the power of the spell.

That fervent prayer calls forth light.

The light that Karenden used to burn away the darkness in the era before Christ, and the light that Yong-Hyeon Rein Ludwig used to illuminate the ‘Silver Age’.

“First precept, Creation ceremony: Flowing World-Honored One.”

Opportunity is the back side of crisis, retreat operation (2)

[Halvaron: No more shells left. I repeat, all shells left are used up. The mobile artillery units will begin the withdrawal first. If we hesitate here, it will hinder the withdrawal operation.]

While the immortals were fighting an eternal battle, the mortals were also fighting a battle that felt like it lasted forever.

[Eshir: Thank you, Admiral. It was a great help!]

The scene of the fierce battle was the platform defense line set by General Krausan. It was a fight to get all the survivors out of the city.

[Alidona: We’re about to be disabled by the front turret attack! If we can stop that, we’ll be able to get more help from the turrets!]

[Niven: We’ll take care of it in the air! Senior Floret, please fill our empty spots!]

[Florette: Got it! Asher, you take the 11 o’clock side!]

The abyssal form that Neigalas received was indeterminate, that is, lava and sand.

By erupting lava at high speeds, the concept of providence is dissolved, or by spreading sandstorms, the order of nature is disturbed and the season is fixed as ‘summer’.

It is said that in the past, before she sacrificed a world and became the King of Jin, she was a promising sorceress.

[Niven: Alright, resolved! Turrets are functioning normally! This will make defense much easier!]

The ground of , that is, the ceiling of , is being eroded by the transcendent sandstorm at an unrealistic rate.

The root of the abyss is control of space and time.

Here, the lava of Naigalas transgressed space, and the sand transgressed time.

[Mosna: Well done! Train 1824 has just departed, and trains 1825-1828 are waiting to depart, having accommodated refugees to the limit! We need another 20 minutes to load the remaining refugees!]

Kikkik… … .

Kik… … Kik… … .

Kikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkikkik… … .

[Mate: Got it! Guard the platform! There will always be guys who break through the defense line and head there!]

At the master’s call, the mountain ranges that had been sealed and dormant volcanoes all responded in unison. Loud noises that seemed to burst eardrums erupted one after another from the Celtimus volcanic zone.

[Melene: Bad news… … Anomalies are currently being detected in all craters… … . Signs of a volcanic eruption… … . How are the explosions on the Delfred and side being suppressed… … .]

[Florette: It looks like the ground of is collapsing too? Mozuna, hurry up and evacuate! 20 minutes is too long! Get it done in 15 minutes!]

[Niven: What the hell, the ground is cracking and lava is seeping out. The entire city is starting to get buried in red lava!]

The epicenter of the lava, three storms unleashed by Naigalas, primarily hit Cheongseong.

The first storm turned the entire into a horizon of lava.

The lava raged violently, melting the ground of and rising up into the distant sky.

[Zeroni: Jacquard! Respond! The ground is collapsing! What happened! Are you getting out?]

[Jacquard: Don’t worry! You won’t be able to get out, but I’ll crush this guy’s head and stop him from going that way!]

[Zeroni: You idiot, I told you to come even if it means taking a detour!]

The second storm hit Cheongseong. Unlike the first storm, which was intended to cause widespread disaster, this was a blow focused solely on destroying Cheongseong.

The sand particles took on the properties of lava and morphed into a vast vortex of scorching heat. If the ignition point were less than 755 degrees, even this atmosphere could not escape the burning attack.

The bloody cathedral exposed here was mercilessly liquefied, flowing out in a thick mush, and finally being swallowed up by the lava.

[Krawzan: No, Zeroni! It’s too late. If you leave there, the entire defense line will collapse.]

[Niven: The lava is coming towards the train station too! If it swallows the train, it’s over!]

[Zeroni: You want me to let Jacquard die? Like this?]

The third storm came with Negalas wielding his own sword.

The tail, boiling more fiercely than any lava, precisely tears away and melts the barrier of Cheongseong.

The power of sorcery increases as the distance between the sorcerer and the sorcery decreases. This is because there is no need for remote control and the power can be focused only on. This principle is no different from Light or Abyss.

[Zeroni: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!!! Okay, I understand. Hey, you stupid bitch! If you’re going to die, burn that flame or something properly before you go! I, I’ll remember that until I die… ]

As the barrier gradually broke down as Neigalas approached, the heat from his lungs, melting even the molecules that make up the atmosphere, began to squeeze Cheongseong’s breathing passages.

[Mozuna: This is the Iron Fortress, we need more troops at the train station! We don’t even have the troops to command the evacuation!]

Ripples spreading across the lake.

The barrier of the creation ceremony desperately blocks the rush of lava.

[Krauzan: Ashir, lead the Blood Horse Corps to the train station!]

As the excessive blood poured out of his nose and mouth, something in Cheongseong’s heart whispered:

You should be happy… … .

You’ve always wanted to be like your father. Now you’re in the same position. But instead, you’ve ended up sending them all to their deaths.

[Eshir: The battle for that sector is almost over! We’ll take a detour and move soon!]

All my life… … .

All my life… … .

I wanted to be like him. But that didn’t mean I wanted to replicate his accomplishments or his fame.

[Mosuna: We’ve accommodated the last refugee on the train! Now it’s our turn to leave, so come quickly!]

I wanted to know.

I just wanted to know.

His heart, the heart he had… … I truly wanted to know what he thought as I watched him grow, so I tried to resemble his back all my life.

[Tars: Reptilians! They’re coming in camouflage! Everyone, be careful! Damn it, I can’t stand this!]

That love… … .

The love that gave everything… … .

The one who gave that love freely and taught me… … that name is Rain Ludwig.

[Roberis: I will use identification magic… … !]

Now there is only one step left, just one step.

I have to hold out until here… … .

Now, the soul and body are exposed to the abyss. The lava melts the shell of the flesh, and the sand seeps through the cracks and digs deep into the soul.

“Heh, heh, heh, it’s even more delicious when you look at it up close.”

Can you hold out any longer?

The skin on her beautiful face melts away, and the bones in her knees crumble in the sobbing of the sand.

No more, no physical regeneration can be achieved. If I close my eyes like this, it might be easier, but that would be, that would be the same as giving up the path my father walked… … .

– Look at that, Mir.

Beyond memories… … .

A memory of a spring day that is now too far away to reach… … .

Suddenly, watercolor paint spreads across my mind.

– This is dawn.

The dictionary definition of dawn was extremely simple.

When he hatched from the egg, Cheongseong, a baby dragon, learned all his knowledge from books, because he thought that was the most efficient way.

However, the simple and clear light of dawn that I saw for the first time at that time was something that could not be described in a dictionary.

– What does the book say about Dawn?

– The faint light of day… … when it’s bright… … .

– But what does it look like in reality?

– Dazzle, warmth… … and, and, and, beauty… … .

The wonders of nature… … .

In the providence of creation… … .

It seemed impossible to find words to describe the grandeur of that vast, deep, and clear color that colored the world.

– Mir.

However, when I recall the moment I witnessed that first dawn, what I remember more dazzlingly is your smile.

The warmth of the hand touching my head.

That voice, which seeps into my body, mind, and soul warmer than the newly swelling scent of spring.

– What do you want to achieve in this beautiful world?

What I want to achieve… … .

Father, the calling I have received is… … .

If you give up and collapse here and now, you will never achieve it… … .
