Sword Pilgrim

Episode 257

“The giant I heard about wasn’t such a coward.”

Giants in stories are always wise.

strong and fair

Even the gods could not disturb the order on earth by paying attention to them.

Aren’t they the giants in mythology that were even called the treasure trove of knowledge?

To the extent that a peace treaty was concluded under their mediation even during the now noisy Yongma War. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“I heard that.”

Earth was a little disappointed with the reality of the giant, which was quite different from the story.

The reason why the god of the sword had ordered to find the giants was because he wanted to get their help. It was because he judged that there might be times when he needed the help of a giant, since he faced off against the gods in the sky.

Besides, because one giant he met was absorbed into himself.

[Sorry. It’s a very different reality from the giant in the story.]

The man in the bone mask apologized with a dry smile.

Even if you don’t have to apologize.

“I think we need more details. In the first place, I don’t even know your name.”

[I see.] Only

then did the man take off the mask resembling a deer bone and show his face.

[My name is Tabos. He represents the giants and is the most cowardly coward.]

“Tavos?”

As he gazed at the burning giant with a feeling of hopelessness, Tabos shook his head.

[Taros is my younger brother.]

“….”

[You don’t have to make that face. It’s already an old story. It’s just the words of a brother who was walking down a foolish path.]

The eyes of Tabos, who were soaked in memories, soon sank. He put on a deer bone and covered his face.

like those who have sinned.

“Why are you asking? It should be something you guys should do.”

[The current giants are barely surviving due to the burning giant Taros. Even a giant can’t stand the cold of Ladia. Because that witch’s winter freezes everything.]

Besides.

[Taros is my younger brother. I still can’t kill my younger brother with my own hands.]

“Why are you asking me to come and kill you now? Without him, this place would be frozen.”

[Because it’s about time. we waited the day to avenge God. Because they know the fear of God more than anyone else, they have never slept comfortably even for a moment.]

Even while sleeping, the burning giant Taros howls in pain.

Even though they feel warmth from it, all the giants stay awake at night, feeling his pain together and carving fear and anger toward God deep into their bones.

[Please make my brother comfortable. That’s a gift that the giants can give to a new god and our…]

“It will be our salvation.”

Tabos shook his head.

A weapon made from a giant under divine punishment could kill even a god.

“This way.”

Corruption connected with Kali was moving through the hidden path of the canyon under the guidance of Luteon.

This side was able to avoid the eyes of the dragons, and even if attacked, it was also a place where it was easy to counterattack to some extent.

At some point, a hidden hiding place appeared where human touch was felt.

“It is safe to come here. It’s because I’ve installed a sacred art that wanders the way.”

Only then did Luteon take a deep breath and sit on the fallen tree trunk.

Carly, however, did not rush to sit down. Sophie lay down quietly beside Carly, inside the bear’s body.

“If I was going to do something to you, I would have done it a long time ago. In the first place, it was just that the sword came out without me knowing because I resembled him from the top of the table. Because it is a face that is both happy and angry with me.”

Carly chewed her teeth at Lutheon’s words with a smile.

“I am the person you speak of incarnate.”

“Incarnation… is it even a god?”

“It’s not perfect, but.”

“Is it a demigod? Has he already risen to that position?”

“My questions are not over. How the hell are you still alive?”

At Kali’s question, Lutheon stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground.

It’s a sword I’ve seen before.

in a faint memory.

“It is a sword made by me.”

“Right.”

Carly understood.

That sword resembled the sword made when Lutheon was killed and turned into a corpse.

The meaning that he has that sword is one of two things.

“Either he was corrupted or he became a lion.”

“As expected. I became a messenger of God. It was because it became a corpse. Isn’t God also very mean?”

“…What did you do with Lauren?”

sereung.

Carly, who took out the sword from her waist, swallowed dry saliva and asked.

Luteon’s sword was owned by Lauren.

This is the sword that the child carried, saying that he would never forget his mission and that he would never forget the horrors and that he would devote himself endlessly.

That’s what luteon is.

However, since Lutheon became a lion and formed a human form…

“Don’t worry, Lauren is alive. all right.”

“…Is it true?”

“It is true. I am the messenger of Balterus. There is no reason to kill Lauren.”

furthermore.

“I thought there must be a reason why God brought me back to life. That’s what Lauren said. that God wills it So die for as many people as possible.”

Lutheon still remembers Lauren, who sent him away in tears of blood.

God’s will.

He said that there must be the will of the god who made him a lion, and that he should live and die for the sword this time in his reborn life.

“Is that why you came here?”

“okay. I came here to atone for my sins. To join the war.”

Carly drew her sword.

“I regret it.”

“…I regret it. Out of pettiness, he betrayed God and betrayed his flesh and blood. There was nothing waiting for me at the end, but I knew there would be a lot.”

But there is only sympathy.

Still, Lutheon has not been forgotten.

Callius’ pitying eyes.

His sword, which pityed him and gave him death, still remained cold deep in his heart.

“I will die fighting for the sword and for humanity. and it will fall I will be corrupted and die by Loren’s sword. That is the atonement I can make. Because my soul has committed a sin that will not be forgiven even after death.”

What would God do?

Carly couldn’t react quickly.

Whether or not his words of wanting to atone are true is not certain.

However, Lutheon’s words showed some sincerity.

The moment he is thinking about it.

“But why does the incarnation carry corruption with him?”

“There are circumstances.”

“…okay. It’s none of my business.”

Lutheon, who brushed himself off and stood up, pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but we’re not going to see each other face to face for long. The dragon’s pursuit would have been evaded. To the east is the Human Liberation Front. If you go there, you can meet anything. Whether it’s dragons, corruption, or humans.”

“…Luteon.”

“good. I have nothing more to say to the incarnation of Colius.”

“Thank you. No matter what the past was like, if it wasn’t for you, I would have suffered greatly.”

“…”

Rutheon was speechless.

“An incarnation is an incarnation. If it was him, he would have tried to kill me long ago.”

“My god is the scabbard. You are the one who can accept everything. He may have forgiven your sins as well.”

“…”

“Your sins are over when you die once. Don’t get too hung up on sin. don’t even fall Haven’t you already paid the penalty? The regret and atonement you are making is no different from paying for your sins.”

Lutheon’s back turned, and his shoulders trembled.

“If you die, serve the sheath in your next life. He will even embrace your sins.”

Carly winked at Sophie in bear form lying face down. Sophie wakes up and the two quietly disappear from Luteon’s lair.

sobbing.

So as not to disturb his time.

“Ah… embarrassing. I don’t know what this is like in front of that incarnation.”

After wiping away his tears, Lutheon placed his sword on his shoulder and smiled.

“Isn’t it?”

Three fighting dragons were approaching in front of the smirking Luteon.

They were the dragons that chased Carly and Sophie.

[Luteon, what are you doing?]

They knew the exact name of Luteon.

As if I knew it like before.

[Isn’t it because he wanted to surrender to the Balaur? What a funny guy. The Dragon Kings were quite happy with your existence.]

“I was going to do that too… but I changed my mind. You can’t help it. You’ve already paid for your sins, so why not?”

The corners of the dragon’s mouth twisted.

[This is why I decided not to bring humans in. Something like an ungrateful bug.]

[If you tell me where it’s headed, I’ll pretend not to know you.]

“Why don’t you want to fight me? Even good dragons must be afraid of me. They’re lizards who can’t go anywhere because they’re afraid unless they go around in groups of three.”

[A bastard bastard who can’t fit anywhere!]

Caang-!

The corners of Lutheon’s mouth twisted as he stood to block the spasmodic shooting dragon’s claws.

[You are a human after all.]

“I don’t know if I can call you a human right now.”

seung.

Lutheon’s pupils were torn vertically.

like dragon eyes.

[Monster.]

Devil-!

Kugu Palace!

With a single swing, the dragon’s claws are cut and the canyon is cut and collapsed.

It was a foreign power to see it as a human power and a lion’s power.

[Why did you suddenly change your mind?]

“Even I, who is neither a human nor a god, nor a dragon but a bug, sometimes has things I want to protect.”

Lutheon remembered the incarnation that had left.

You say that with a face like that guy.

Can’t you help it?

‘Even death does not give me peace.’

[Kill them!]

Bang-! Quaang-!

collapsing gorge.

Lutheon fights between them.

At the end of a fierce battle where his flesh was torn and blood flowed, he stood firm with a fatal wound.

“The lizard babies are filthy tough.”

He put the protruding intestines back into his stomach and ran his bloody hands through his blond hair.

“Because I was originally more good at swords than spears. Reptilian babies.”

I sat down in the crumbling canyon.

As he sat down for a while, his blood pooled in a puddle.

“It hurts terribly.”

coogu palace.

Between piles of crumbling rocks.

Looking at the beating sunlight, Lutheon smiled with a bloodstained face.

“Should I serve the sword house in my next life?”

Quagga River!! Whoops-!!

swish

Carly’s eyes looking back capture the crumbling canyon.

“Please God let him go.”
