Chapter 341 Team HH, Yahiko, thursdays (9/10) (1/2)

Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (9/10)

“…..Iron Lion Clan.”

“…..Are you allies or enemies?”

Creutz could see a group of defeated soldiers while he and the Illusion Knightage soared through the sky of the 20th stage.

The group of soldiers was filled with injured people. All their armor was crushed, and the players were barely moving, leaning on each other.

He had already seen many like them, so he was just about to pass by when…..

Creutz saw a flag flailing lifelessly in the wind above them.

The greatest mercenary group, the Iron Lion Clan, looked like a mess.

It was hard, even for the Illusion Knightage, to fight against them. If their leader, Iron Lion, wasn’t a mercenary, they would have been considered one of the new emerging clans a long while ago.

But they were in such a pathetic state.

Considering how they brought along many of their players, it seemed that about 80% of them had disappeared. It was near-total destruction.

The Iron Lion Ivan looked at Creutz with sharp eyes. He acted as if he was about to raise his sword.

Creutz swallowed. It seemed that an injured beast was still a beast. Ivan’s murderous Aura wasn’t normal.

‘No. Is he just more sensitive because he’s that hurt?’

Then there was no need to touch him.

Ivan was a sunbae he admired, so Creutz replied politely.

“We would’ve met as enemies, but it seems there is no need to fight.”

Ivan curved a corner of his mouth.

“I did hear rumors that the Illusion Knightage is attempting to recruit the Hoarder. I guess they were true?”

“I don’t think there’s any reason for us to explain ourselves.”

Creutz replied firmly. It was the attitude of someone who was always polite.

“Alright. Then I don’t have anything to say either. However, keep this in mind.”

Looking at Creutz, Ivan growled with sharp eyes.

“Next time, you’ll be my prey too.”

Hwaaak—

A fierce fighting aura spread from him.

He had the eyes of a predator looking at something that invaded his territory.

However, Creutz also had experience on the battlefield although it might not have amounted to Ivan’s. That kind of threat was nothing. But there was something he was curious about.

“Don’t you feel cringy when you talk like that?”

“…….”

“Anyways, I understand your stance. I’ll deliver what you said to our Regiment Leader.”

Ivan frowned, dissatisfied, and was about to shout something when…..

Krrrrng—

Far away on the mountains, there was a large explosion. The sky was turning yellow.

“Looks like something happened. I must be on my way. Goodbye.”

Creutz pulled the reins of his Flying Dragon and began to fly again. The Illusion Knightage followed right behind him.

The hundreds of wyverns flying together in the sky was a sight to see.

Ivan ground his teeth looking at them and urged his subordinates again.

“We….. shall also quickly return to base.”

When Creutz arrived at the Five Mountains of Penances, he was greeted with destroyed mountains that could hardly be called a place for training and Yeon-woo, who was fainting while exuding powerful holy power.

『Cain!』

『Hey! Wake up!』

Victoria and the Ice King frantically ran towards Yeon-woo. Kahn didn’t know what to do while he was holding Doyle.

Creutz jumped down to the ground without landing his dragon.

『It’s dangerous if things go wrong. Please move aside for a moment.』

Victoria’s face stiffened at Creutz’s sudden interference.

The Ice King burst up and blocked Creutz. A cold aura swirled around him.

They were wary of Creutz and the knights he brought. They could be a party of the alliance that was after Kahn.

『What is the Illusion Knightage, no, the Fantasy Regiment doing here?』

『It seems like there’s a misunderstanding, but we’re not from the alliance. Our Regiment Leader is friends with the Hoarder. Haven’t you heard?』

『The Regiment Leader and Cain?』

Of course they hadn’t heard about it. Yeon-woo never spoke about his personal life to others. As the Ice King looked at Creutz with more suspicion, he became frustrated.

『I’ll explain the details later. However, time is of the essence right now. The sickness of the Hoarder seems to be a holy fever, and if it’s not treated right away, he’ll be in danger! Please step aside!』

Creutz’s face hardened when he saw Yeon-woo’s fever. The sparks flinging from Yeon-woo’s body became worse, and it was hard for even Victoria to approach him. The heat exuding from his body was so intense that his body turned red.

Not knowing what to do, Victoria shook her head. It was beyond her capabilities.

The Ice King recalled his aura and stepped aside.

Creutz quickly ran to Yeon-woo and began to examine him.

『Oh, dear. Has it already gone to his magic power source…..?!』

The price for accepting over 900 Authorities at once was too high.

Authorities weren’t simple like skills were. Accepting an Authority meant accepting the will of a god into your body.

It was difficult to have just one, but hundreds? It was something that a mere mortal should never do. It was a wonder how his soul wasn’t crushed.

If Yeon-woo hadn’t increased his potential by swallowing the Monkey King’s shedding, he would never have been able to attempt it.

He had succeeded in taking the Authorities, but some aftereffects still remained.

Something remained where the gods had touched him and left. All the remnants collided, and his body had overheated.

The holy fever from his body was reaching his internal organs and even his magic power organ.

If his fever wasn’t reduced soon, he could lose his magic power or worse.

Creutz pulled out his holy sword Zulfikar and planted it in the ground. Kissing the stone in the middle, he closed his eyes and recited a spell. The stone shined a yellow light and turned into amber.

Amber was a symbol of health. As divine power descended upon Yeon-woo’s body, the heat began to settle down.

The Ice King and Victoria looked on with surprised eyes.

『What…… did you do? His fever is subsiding.』

The Ice King had attempted to use his energy to cool Yeon-woo down, and Victoria had attempted healing magic as well.

However, Yeon-woo’s heat just became worse. But it was shocking that he was getting better with such an interesting power.

『It seems like divine power.』

Victoria replied instead as she examined it.

『Divine power?』

『Yes. Divine power. It’s good for self-recovery and vitality. And it’s the direct opposite of demonic energy.』

『Is it like holy power?』
