The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 91



90. Hope rather than despair

The most famous trait of the Celestials is that they can fly freely with the wings on their backs, and as guardians of the gods, they can use excellent divine powers. And lastly, they have incredible resilience. And the reason why the demons are jealous of the Celestials is because of this resilience.

Even if their arms are blown off, their wings are cut off, or their legs are burned, the celestials will not die. And over time, they will all be restored. If the celestials have received the blessings of the gods, their incredible resilience will be enhanced even further, and they will boast incredible resilience to the point where they can regenerate almost instantly even if their arms are blown off.

However, since they did not truly possess immortality, their resilience was so outstanding that the moment of death was bound to come. Furthermore, it became increasingly difficult to receive the blessings of the gods, and as they reached a point where they could not receive the blessings of the gods at all, the celestials who did not possess immortality gradually died, and eventually today, they have despaired about their future.

“I thought it would end like that.”

Archangel Lyella could feel the fullness that filled her body. It wasn’t just a feeling of well-being. The fullness that filled her body at this moment was melting her soul that had been frozen in despair, and it was making her realize with certainty that she was alive at this moment. Archangel Lyella could definitely feel her soul awakening along with her heartbeat.

“Our God will be with us. He will give us….”

“There is no defeat.”

The celestials who had despaired that there would be no future for them and had been obsessed with the glory of the past and had been rotting away were no longer here. The new god they had been waiting for had finally bestowed grace on them. It was different from the pure divine power they had known. Although it was divine in nature, the energy was filled with the dragon’s magic. However, it didn’t matter. Even if it wasn’t perfectly pure, this power could be called divine power.

There is no reason to choose despair when hope is right before your eyes.

If you choose despair despite having hope, that is nothing more than an insult to the glory of the past. There is a completely different thing to despair because you have no choice but to despair and to try to despair despite having hope… . At this moment, the celestials stood up, holding onto hope.

“Messenger of God”

Archangel Lyella looked at the legions of corpses emitting the disgusting stench of death. There were many of them. If it had been her, she would have thought of running away rather than fighting against those disgusting things. But she was not like that now. Just a few days ago, she was just a living ghost obsessed with her past glory.

The current ones are….

Because they were messengers of the new god who decided to become the new god’s sword in order to keep the new god’s will.

“Yurinhara!!!!!!!!”

With Archangel Lyella’s shout, the new divine power burning hot within their bodies exploded.

♧♧♧

“What is this….”

As the King of Death, he couldn’t understand it. The few remaining celestials who were obsessed with past glory, who were just rotting away in the past… It was because he could not have predicted that such cowards would show up on the battlefield again. Even so, he had no doubts that they would never show up on the battlefield after handing over the Holy Sword or the human warriors. That was why he could not understand the reality unfolding before his eyes at all.

Even though I clearly see reality with my own two eyes and perceive it correctly,

He couldn’t take it properly.

“Keeeeeek!”

The legions of death he had prepared for so many years were being dwindled by the slaves of that terrible god.

“Why!!!! Why did you guys get that terrible power back!!!!!!”

No matter how much quantity there was, it was meaningless in the face of overwhelming quality. Rather than reviving the soldiers of death that had been reduced by their own power, the slaves of the gods who had not died in the first place trampled their soldiers faster. No matter how much the soldiers of death who did not fear death flew their bodies and made holes in their bodies… . The immense resilience that was further activated by receiving the blessing of the gods ignored all the struggles.

No matter how many times you stab me in the body

Make a hole

Even if I pour the curse of death into it

Those slaves of God

No, those fanatics just swing their swords and spears like crazy. They move forward like crazy, relying only on the blessings of the gods behind them.

The small advance was not being pushed back by the tidal wave of death. Rather, the small advance was trying to push back the tidal wave of death. It was trying to break through. The death army that he had been so proud of was about to collapse helplessly.

“This can’t be happening!!!! There’s no way God can exert his power in this world anymore!!!!!!!!”

The nightmare of the past came back to him and strangled his throat. No matter how much he prepared, he could not help but crumble before those fanatics… The indelible mistake that had led those fanatics to the Demon King was once again filling his mind, reminding him of the loser’s habits.

“This can’t be happening! There’s no way I could fall apart like this!! Death Knights!!!!!”

He eventually chose to pull out the desperate measure he had been planning to take out only after the full-scale war had begun. It was a desperate attempt to cover it up by pulling out the desperate measure before his losing streak would awaken once again.

-Your Majesty… .

-Command… .

-Do it… .

A knightly order comprised of Death Knights, said to be the strongest among the forces of death, appeared. The King of Death smiled. No matter how fanatic they were, there was no way they could stop these proud knights of his.

I was so sure of that.

His prediction was not an entirely groundless and absurd idea. If only there were celestials on this battlefield, the knightly order consisting of Death Knights would have been quite threatening. If only there were celestials on this battlefield.

-My lord… .

Shaaang!

-transplant….

Before one Death Knight could even draw his sword or utter a single word, he was completely destroyed, leaving behind only a pitch-black helmet.

Anti-Aura, which even destroyed the Demon King’s magic, was solved in a way that was so ignorant that it made you wonder if they were crazy, by immediately injecting the Demon King with magic the moment it was destroyed. However, only the strongest and second-in-command of the Demon King’s army, such as the Demon King or the Overlord, could do that. It was an impossible act that other demons could not do even if they wanted to.

It was the same even for Death Knight. Even if he was the best force in the army of death, he was nothing but a scarecrow in front of Anti-Auror, which reduced everything to nothing. His body was made only of magic. In other words, the worst natural enemy for the army of death was not the celestials. Sera, the warrior who could control Anti-Auror, was the only one who had the power to be called the worst natural enemy of the army of death.

-My lord… .

Phew!

-retreat….

Every time Sera’s sword danced, the Death Knights that the King of Death had been so proud of were annihilated in vain. It was truly an unbelievable nightmare for the King of Death. The saddest thing for him was that this terrible nightmare was not a real nightmare, but reality. It was a cruel reality that he truly could not help but think that way.

“It shouldn’t have been this easy.”

It was possible because the celestials had moved. Originally, it would have been difficult to figure out how to deal with that endless army of death… but the immortal army of celestials had come forward and solved the problem cleanly.

‘It’s all thanks to Leah.’

If the celestials hadn’t sworn allegiance to Rhea as a new god, it would have been possible for Rhea to have created powers close to godhood using the powers left behind by the wandering god and the saintess, and given the celestials back their crazy resilience. This was truly possible because of Rhea.

If you think about it that way….

It was impossible not to feel grateful to Jade, the starting point of all these irregularities.

Phew!

-It’s so unfair… .

“The knight is left to fend for himself and is used by the demons, and it’s so frustrating… It’s so hopeless.”

The soldiers of death were unjustly tainted by the magic and became slaves of the King of Death, but the knights had the opportunity to go to the afterlife before being tainted by the magic, but they could not let go of their resentment and insisted on it, and ended up becoming slaves of the King of Death. So Sera did not feel any sympathy or condolences.

【Me!!! I am Baalzebul, the Four Heavenly Kings!!!! Do you think I will fall apart so easily!!!!!!!!!!】

‘It starts sooner than I thought.’

The King of Death was trying to set the mood and do that, but

To the warrior of infinite regress, it was just a feeling of, ‘Ah. Now the real show is starting.’
