Chapter 366: Light Kiyoung Said, Let There Be Light: And There Was Light (4)

“Trashy bastard.”

Obviously, he had only swung his sword once.

Nevertheless, the magic beast with that large of a size fell. The energy emanating from the sword was quite difficult to describe. I found it unbelievable to witness a human that would be able to unleash such a crushing blow.

The magic beast in front of us was, without exaggeration, a huge hill, a small mountain.

The fact that a magic beast of that size had lost its balance with a sword wielded by a mere human made me doubt my eyesight. Even his fellow guild members were also blatantly looking at him with widened eyes.

Now I had good reason to think that he had been hiding his full power this entire time.

“Pant. Pant. Pant…”

Unlike the wizard, who had started to pause to catch her breath, the swordsman was not disturbed. I couldn’t help clenching my fists upon seeing this scene. The fact that a single human could grow to this extent was thrilling.

My respect for him had grown.

However…

‘Is there no damage?’

The problem was that the attacked monster was fine.

If it had been a normal monster, its body would have gotten split in half from the first strike. It turned out that they still couldn’t inflict damage on him, even with this amount of power.

Once again, the attack magic and the Elune Knights’ arrows didn’t have any effect. In short, they were just trying to buy some more time.

Of course, from behind, the wizard was chanting another spell again, but I knew it still would not have any effect.

‘This is not working.’

No matter how I saw this, I knew this was going to be a long, long battle.

If the wizard named Jung Hayan stopped fighting, the monster would automatically become the winner of this battle. The balance was that easy to disrupt.

Currently, the means to injure that guy’s skin were her magic, and the Blue Guild Master’s sword.

As I turned my head, I saw the eyes of the wizard who seemed to have lost her mind.

‘No.’

I tried to scream, but thanks to the beast that raised his body again and came flying, I was forced to bite my lips tightly.

In an instant, various supporting spells come down to the man with a huge barrier and shield.

The warrior, with his mouth full of potion, raised his shield to cover his body.

“Deokgu! Start with the protection magic!”

“Oh, I know! Don’t worry, Hyung-ssi! I’m not going to die here!”

Craaaackkkk!

The defense magic that protected the expedition members had gotten completely broken.

With a shield, the warrior took the chance, went one step forward, and hit the side of the beast’s head. He must be trying to change his course, though his actions did not hold much power. He was nearing his peak.

I was worried that he might not have enough power to endure it, but the magic that flew at the right time helped him.

“Jeong-yeon, nic… cough!”

“Deokgu!”

If Hwang Jeong-yeon’s spell and his actions did not occur at the same time, I was a hundred percent sure that Deokgu would have been dead by now, though he had successfully defended against the monster’s attack.

At the same time as the potion was hurriedly inhaled, the combat priest’s recovery spell continued to fly towards him.

“Cancel the spell. Hayan, look for… Kiyoung.”

“Oh! Oh! O-Oh! Okay! Okay!”

She hadn’t completely lost her mind yet. I nodded as she canceled the offensive magic she was preparing to cast once more. However, this meant that it was the melee group’s turn to attack.

They did not hesitate. With buffs on their side, the melee attackers dove in…

‘It’s perfect.’

The weapons had been infused with the faint outline of divine power, which had all been thanks to the priest named Sun Hee-young.

I, too, drove the energy inside the dagger and threw it… Though the monster still looked to be completely unaffected. This meant that he must have some overwhelming endurance.

“We don’t need to care if we do damage or not.”

“Yes. Okay.”

What their Guild Master wanted was a long-term war.

If even one person were to make a mistake, we would all be annihilated. The one who induced this tense situation was the Blue Guild Master.

A very hectic time had passed.

The expedition continued to endure his attack, and he also continued to receive crushing blows and magic with his body. We were put at a disadvantage, but that urgency and anxiety had elicited perfect concentration.

Everyone was probably thinking the same way as I was.

However, Kim Hyunsung looked to be in a daze, though his movements were flawless. In fact, he appeared to be in a different realm altogether.

The magic burst out, and the sword swung. At the same time as the shield would break, I heard the priest’s voice chanting a recovery spell.

‘Focus.’

“Focus!”

“I can do it. Just a little more focus!”

The same went for me.

I bit my lips tightly, and although it was not enough, I swung my sword. Though it looked impossible, I knew that, given enough time, we would eventually be able to crack through the monster.

Eventually, our fear of the enemy subsided, and the pressure about making mistakes gradually disappeared. This was also when Jung Hayan spoke up in a serious tone.

“S-Stop him from moving.”

“What do you mean, Hayan?”

“O-Oppa said so. He… clearly said it. To keep him tied up as much as possible. He’s running towards the heart.”

“Is that true? Is Hyung-nim alive? I-Is he okay?”

“Yes. Hic. He’s alive. He’s fine, without a singlewound… Hic. Waaahhh…”

“Guild Master Hyung-ssi!”

“I have already heard it. Change the strategy. We’ll try to keep him from moving as much as possible.”

“I knew it! Everyone, cheer up!”

‘This…’

As I looked at the wizard reflexively, I saw her nodding. That meant that Elena must be alive, too.

My fists clenched without my knowledge. There was a reward for not giving up. I truly felt that way.

I was not the only one who felt is happy. The Blue Guild Master, who had maintained a stiff face until now, also had a smile on his lips. Anyone could tell he looked relieved. It must have been hard trying to hide his joy.

‘It could be dangerous.’

Originally, he must have been mindful of the situation, wherein he might lose more members trying to save one. It was also close to irrational to be changing the operation of battle now. However…

‘He trusts him.’

The two trusted each other.

Since they believed in each other, he must be able to work without things.

He wanted him to tie the monster up, and that was it.

At his words, which held no further explanation, the entire expedition changed the route. The Guild Master, the wizard, and others turned right away without any disagreement.

I would call it crazy on typical days, but I couldn’t find it in me to protest. If the others were acting without doubt, then Lee Kiyoung must be someone who didn’t mince his words. Thus, I nodded and went into formation.

To help even a little more, I held my sword as tightly as possible.

“Get as far from the pond as possible.”

“Okay.”

It was no wonder that the enormous magic power burst once again. It looked like Jung Hayan had drawn all the magic power inside her. She didn’t care about the future. She didn’t even consider the fact that she could be attacked.

It was then that our opponent sucked in a deep breath.

‘Breath?’

The tremendous energy was aimed towards the wizard who was busy chanting a spell. However, the man with the shield – Park Deokgu – rushed in without hesitation.

“It’s dangerous!!”

Despite my outburst, the man did not back down.

‘Isn’t he scared to die?’

When the terrible thought of the warrior’s body being melted past my head, the Blue Guild Master, who appeared in no time, began to climb on his back.

He had employed speed that was ​​beyond my eyesight. In fact, I didn’t know what he had just done.

However, seeing the magic beast splitting near his neck and bleeding, I only guessed that he, no, she, had swung her sword. At this, great energy spewed up from the monster’s mouth.

The ceiling collapsed. The magic to protect the expedition from the debris was cast, and at the same time…

Chains of magic started to tie him up.

Whooooosh!

The chains that came out from all directions literally grabbed the magic beast’s body tightly, and bind magic poured out around the chain. Even the melee fighters were sending what they had of their magic power.

“Eeeeeeekkk!”

Maintaining the magic was also not easy. I could tell just how much these humans can endure. If a single thing were to go wrong, the chain might break.

‘How much power is left?’

It was not unreasonable to feel anxious. I knew it would be hard to handle what would happen if this happened to fail.

However…

‘I have to believe.’

Just as they believed in their fellows, I also believed in them.

‘Oh, Elune.’

“Eeeeekkkkk!”

‘Oh, Elune!’

Please, let this be a miracle.

‘Oh, God.’

A miracle!!

“We just have to hold on for a little more! A little bit more!”

A miracle!!!

“Oh, Elune!!!”

A miracle!!!!

“A miracle!! In return for their faith and noble struggle!!!”

“Eeeeeekkkkk!”

“Oh, Eluneeee!!!!”

And then…

The world began to be colored with light.

God didn’t answer the prayer, but obviously, right after I shouted Elune’s name, light from the inside of the monster began to pour hard enough for me to squint.

Brilliant light continued to emanate through his wound and the scales.

The demon kept screaming. Even amid his howling, there was so much light that I couldn’t open my eyes. This was the type of divine power that would be hard to cut through.

The wounds I had gotten so far had healed in no time.

“Nonsense…”

There was no need for other adjectives.

‘Light…’

Between the radiant light, I had to spit out the words that were full in my heart.

“Let there be… light.”
