Chapter 214: Shock in Heaven (1)
kay1Shirone remembered that he had only been thinking about his own situation and looked at Ikael.E5RsB9
a8R“Ah, um…….”lWo
Eh3oIkael shook her head.i3i
noh1gu“No. You don’t need to thank me. That something like this happened is also my fault. Rather, I’m sorry that I can only help you this much. From now on, it depends on Shirone.”CLCQC
ijTk0“Thank you. I mean it.”IygCzXY
s6iszGLShirone insisted on expressing his gratitude. If it weren’t for Ikael, he would still be sitting and crying on the sacred wall of Jebul.2FSdg
l4G1gPIkael’s gaze became gentle. Even his stubbornness seemed charming to her.yXhO8e
VcuP9v“Remember this, Shirone. Even though you already know, you won’t have many chances to use my ability. Even if Shirone’s mind has evolved one level, Kariel is a meticulous angel. Use it only when you are certain you can save your friends.”WkzGW
nrocShirone nodded and prepared to leave. It was a shame to part with Ikael, but there was no time to waste.QcW6
dqb“Be careful. I hope you can return safely to the original world.”JXNoA4y
3UqSp“Yes. Thank you very much, truly.”B7ffNa
5qmHsWhen Shirone left the room and the door closed, Ikael collapsed in place with signs of fatigue.XUZ
VzZHdeThe room, now that she was alone, remained perfect, but somehow felt incomplete.JdYd
I1ilZ4Shirone had been there. Remembering that restless scene, Ikael let out a small laugh.gPt
jgRryFu‘It’s a good thing it was Shirone.’2m2
dGSidOIkael’s body of sacred light opened into a halo and began to spin rapidly. Then, on one side of the room, a red-colored vortex formed.EPpO
MiT“Answer the call, Ashur.”Z7cHRg
gSiIn front of Ikael, glass panels in square shapes appeared.j8ZscHd
qcAThe panels, connected by dozens of crossing lines, lit up and gradually filled with color, projecting the figure of a Mara.zSSurnl
dKgHe was a handsome man, with shoulder-length black hair and three triangles floating above his head.FACieR
CIXmgoKneeling before Ikael, he bowed his head and said,mBi5ze
rua1“Ashur. I receive the order of the angel.”yNAQXy
zpqYThe lines of the panels disappeared and Ashur’s figure gained volume.Y56oTMb
VKXAq2i“I need your strength. Help Shirone.”YSf11UL
Rxc2lt“Understood.”2gUn5
4HERIAshur responded without hesitation. Then, in Ikael’s eyes, an emotion of guilt appeared.3SOMeQJ
uSU“I’m sorry, for making you do even this.”BbAJbO
7N7m“I am a being born from the concept of Ikael-nim. Fulfilling any order is natural for me.”1flMA3Z
sv2RnUHigh-level Mara are direct assistants of the archangels. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are among the busiest in heaven, and they are not beings that can be summoned easily.6Oa0R
B9GOuEspecially Ashur, known as the strongest magical swordsman in heaven, the guardian knight of Ikael. Even though his power was now sealed, he was not someone who should be running errands.3r8PKl
iQtwAshur spoke firmly,F4qA57S
F3IbF0b“Do not worry. If it is something that Ikael-nim values, it is also valuable to me. I will stake my existence and carry out the mission without fail.”XyIb8T
uCQR“Thank you. But Kariel is strong. Also, in Jebul the king of the giants, Ymir, is also moving.”hfVQqhi
yGYBufUpon hearing the name Ymir, Ashur’s gaze shone intensely.fF7Ld
K3he“I do not know with what intention he has taken interest in this matter, but we must be cautious. Ymir has reached the maximum strength a living being can achieve. It is not good to get entangled with him.”tLe9nI
upTTacIAn emotion of displeasure clearly appeared on Ashur’s face. Although he was the strongest magical swordsman in heaven, the title of the strongest warrior was always divided between him and Ymir.7DA
BvzIcqJThis was because there were those who valued Ymir more for having reached the peak through physical strength alone.W1Vz
S6ktBut Ashur did not accept that. Someday they would have to decide who was the strongest.QzNG1LU
de3b9Z“Do not worry. Ymir is no match for me.”QAQC
20VqWIkael realized she had touched a warrior’s pride and calmed him with a gentle tone.zdgKr
ncS“Hehe, of course, I think Ashur is the strongest. Even if Ymir came in his perfect state, if Ashur protects me, I would have no fear.”ygN9R45
9cd2Ashur then stood up, satisfied.6GLyqw1
lhOqkq“Of course. As long as I am here, no one will even be able to touch Ikael-nim.”taSgL
j5d“Ah, and one more thing.”mznC9Bz
XykU0Ashur, who had stopped at the door, turned around and looked at his respected master with a tense expression.lG6
XL5Ikael’s narrowed eyes radiated an authority that could not be defied.ehqtYik
IQtbDf“When you meet Kariel, make sure to convey this to him.”VLmN
t4HMZW***0Lewk
LY4PcCNShirone descended from the tower and looked at the open plain of Arabot.G4Xp
i0BkPThe path to Jebul was shown to him through Ikael’s memories. It was quite a long distance to travel by teleportation.PM2Rxi9
jRTDHSIAs he entered the Spirit Zone, an enormous amount of information flowed through synesthesia.gpvATu9
vzg9YUE“Wow……”vOf
JAXzHe knew his concentration had increased. But actually experiencing it was hard to believe.Bc9
77r2qMaintaining the same density as before, the diameter of the Spirit Zone had increased by 1.5 times. In terms of volume, his mental power had increased almost fourfold.sdl3X8O
ubNJYxIn other words, the burden when casting magic had been reduced four times.MIcRSh
AjKAs the Spirit Zone expanded, he felt a freedom as if a huge weight had been lifted.F8Cn
2pIdr2sShirone aimed at Jebul with target type and raised the teleportation battery.WvGoyfa
qimhhqOUntil now it had not had much effect, but now that the diameter had increased to 25 meters, it could be applied in real combat.1KxWRYE
yrjvJIt may seem like 25 meters does not make much difference, but when transformed into four-directional target type, the additional distance increased to 100 meters.E7tQa
BjXIf he chained teleportation 10 times, the increase exceeded 1 kilometer.xBQfskw
ti03Dlz‘Everyone, wait. Hold on a little longer.’8H7Tyc
BvA7Thinking of his friends’ situation, his heart filled with anxiety. But Shirone’s concentration, which had reached the level of the diamond body, did not waver in the slightest.ls9tXm
IUELJAs the battery and omnipotence combined, the noise of light decorated the sky.Kwk
APxUZgHA ray of light shot toward Jebul.t1N
sDWR9lW***fUWW
0U5Rian had already been running for 30 minutes. His heart was beating as if it were about to burst, but the amount of oxygen he inhaled in a single breath remained constant.Lxz982
QZmvyIf he consumed all the oxygen at once, he would collapse before reaching his destination.X8gq
b5MVJIt was already the time when Canis should have obtained some result one way or another.AGaAoi
pBqRian thought there were only two possibilities. Either he had deactivated the security system of the Great World Temple, or he had died.WMZle
uPql3AGHe shook his head to clear those thoughts. It was not the time to worry about others.FmgJX0x
3iQP6CIf Canis had failed, the next one to die would be him.lxXmV2
bZLvFZu“Huff! Huff!”RQi
S6JlaxZHe did not have an ability like Tess to lighten his body, but his physique, trained his whole life, did not tire even after running for more than an hour.aSY
q59At the end of that run, he reached the last point connected to the Great World Temple.GkVAD
MRc4Tp1The right side of the corridor was completely blocked by glass, and beyond it stretched the blue sky.o5CXsr
r2uvMHJebul had the shape of dozens of floating plates, so this place was the outer edge of one of them. Therefore, if he kept running along the edge, he should reach the bridge that connected to the Great World Temple.HyIZuz
dKQQPzWhen Rian, after estimating his position, was about to launch himself forward again, something floating on the ceiling caught his attention.CxhN
g7xZBEA drone was approaching in a frantic manner.OdCN
7bPwB4fThe drone was nothing more than a machine, but in its movement the urgency of Tess was conveyed.pD27ppr
PcmQ“Tess? Are you okay?”SQzG
RKuqIThe drone moved up and down as if nodding. It seemed that a fatal situation had not yet occurred.aIX
YtFaj2HThump. Thump. Thump. Thump.UjtQIWO
CjrtYn8From the path Rian had come from, the trembling of the ground was heard. When he turned around, he saw a giant man advancing toward him in large strides.NaLIK
sN03KRian raised Signa and Exd.RCnVN
TGlmPAn enemy whose identity he could not determine. Above the head of the man running toward him, there was neither a body of sacred light nor horns.f6zxPe
ovtEThe first thing that came to mind was a giant.VCx0Dc6
sLUppupFor a giant, his size was too small, but every time he took a step, the ground trembled, revealing his power.HgEdr
07h‘He’s a monster. How much must his muscles weigh to have that weight?’Wu8AhP
rJxNuThe giant’s movement was heavy. But with each step, his body advanced rapidly forward.zDGz
1K9Thump!gSXa
ExFxEThe giant stopped abruptly in front of Rian by striking the ground with the sole of his foot.j0BKFQp
7lQWGBYIt was a kind of display of strength.8RdJ
NWVXhBIt was something impossible without a force capable of overcoming inertia in a single blow.xnUCxD
Ckn“What are you?”w6J1A
Uu0DvYmir asked. He truly asked because he did not know.cRnsR8e
ofHUTwZHe was holding Signa and Exd, so he should be a mecain, but his appearance resembled that of a norin.Bqj4HJX
hlB“What are you talking about?”gPMoEn
SqkThe giant could not understand the language, since he was not capable of mental resonance.jOT
qXnThe same was true for Ymir, but he did not care. More than words, he was measuring the quality of strength.DEiE8dJ
52nH“I see. You are the heretic who caused disturbances in heaven.”FlayN6
ShahZRdWhen Ymir’s intent to fight was conveyed, Rian instinctively stepped back and raised his sword.TNxK
uoHdyaHThe human, who one would think would flee in fear, instead pointed his sword, and Ymir’s heart stirred intensely. The moment when their gazes collided was what he liked the most.uS4s
hBNxx‘Good eyes. For a human, you have refined yourself quite well.’UKFbq1
a000nRian delayed his left foot. Considering the difference in weight, it was difficult to face him with strength. His main strategy was to finish him quickly as soon as he showed an opening.wtt2
BT8E“Reveal your identity. Are you an enemy or an ally? If you plan to interfere, you will not pass through here.”2U7LQ
TWu7Ymir did not understand Rian’s words, but he could read a hundred phrases in his intense gaze.VymVnj
NizYO‘So it is a choice. But that is my role…’WRa0gXq
gwYYmir advanced in large strides.j2lB
gixvSPAt first glance it seemed like a clumsy approach, but it was a timing that completely broke Rian’s rhythm.agYV
CTR4yRian, who was looking for a surprise attack, felt frustration and stepped back.MRn58
ZiHaSeeing that, Ymir felt pleasure.zkCRq
lzpGWHkThe battle had already begun. He loved all the emotions that arose from the moment they decided to kill each other.Cspy
2p79Ymir, who approached Rian, said,ZrKDiO4
DEO6Hq“You are an enemy.”JjNaulw
dBBYThe hair on Rian’s body stood on end.Um12
5ZysY0The pressure of the giant that came over him in an instant was like a massive wall. It was so large that he could not take it in completely.K09pa5N
LeVJm“Shall we begin?”gDZjQ
P8lXIOAt that moment, from the ceiling, the mechanical voice of the drone was heard.jJjxmY
8loUJH“Lan. guage. de. cryp. tion. Shall we begin?”sNj
mE5SQgyYmir’s gaze shifted for an instant toward the ceiling. And when he lowered it again, Rian had already disappeared.GS4
cRg“Tah!”016M9
ruvZFrom the side, Signa flew, and Ymir raised his arm to block it. A powerful shockwave burst, and the giant’s skin trembled as if shaken by a strong wind.WauwyQZ
cubBut his body did not move at all.BdKQwR
J9DydYmir pushed Signa upward with his arm and, tilting his head, glared at Rian.qzzmkj9
Ka8dwIt was the gaze of a snake stalking its prey.GyzYrd7
LeDs“Good surprise attack. That’s why I feel bad. If you are a swordsman, I should respond with a sword as well.”7g9P
05YtAt the same time he spoke, Ymir pushed Signa. Then, his body rotated and he threw a powerful hook.WOo6
Hn503g0Rian extended Exd and tucked his body in.PoDPT
GlalsYWhen Ymir’s fist struck the shield, a roar exploded and the hologram of Exd struck Ymir.riN7fNh
qYYYXBut even so, Ymir did not step back. On the contrary, the one who was sent flying was Rian.dj3udtV
xNTtgrHRian rolled on the ground and, kneeling, regained his balance.U69exA5
ODxZuExd, mounted on his arm, was open as if it had been hit by a cannon, exposing its interior.kykW4
j0825QYmir lifted his face over his shoulder and smiled.hQ4S
JGiqfC“As you can see… there are not many weapons that can withstand my strength.”DIqv7q
235rs“Damn it… how embarrassing…”HyEGFHC
rhlKFrom the ceiling, through the drone, Tess’s gaze was being transmitted. Imagining how she was watching him waiting for help, his blood boiled even more.XthntJ
9GZRy“I’m going!”TRZeX
zHORRRian charged at full speed.2bSS33Y
gYoeHe threw Signa in an irregular manner and, while jumping into the air, unsheathed the greatsword he carried on his back.RTAQ
AJHMHYmir caught the incoming Signa and crushed it as if it were a cookie.vVyTQjy
RPVt2RAt the same time, Rian brought down the greatsword.OoO3L
Dx6KRS1Ymir’s fist, which held Signa, shot forward.gHUliI
eJTRWith a metallic sound, Rian was horrified. He had blocked the blade of the greatsword with the bones of his fist. It was like striking metal.7vNOWf
RopqSiRian was sent flying in the reverse motion of his own attack. Ymir immediately chased after him, raising his fist.ICH
3A4KMG“That was fun. I’ll give you a gift.”4pBaL
yQK78“Haa!”Wugcv
iIdRian stabbed the greatsword into the ground. And using the wide surface as a shield, he pressed his shoulder and thigh against it, putting all his weight into it.tMt5CaS
