Chapter 761 - After the End of Battle 2 (1/2)

Kang! Cang!

Belik and Dimitry were struggling against the giant Death Knight.

At first, they had decided that they could quickly defeat the enemy by launching attacks from different sides.

However, the ability of the Death Knight, who was of the Hwa-san clan, had trampled on their expectations.

He wanted to push them back, so he stretched the Ki from his sword and swung it around like a whip, yet the attack was flashy and powerful.

“Damn it, a swordsman from the Southern Continent? Too many varying attacks!”

“It is like we are dealing with a storm.”

The two didn’t know that the Hwa-san member was using a sword skill that used Ki.

And it wasn’t the sword skill he had learned during his lifetime, but the skills he attained from the Devildom after Arsene had turned him into an Advanced Death Knight.

“Oh! Ugh!”

“Kuak!”

Duke Dimitry, who was proud for reaching the level of Sword Sage, and Belik, who was proud of his Gigant skills, were breathing heavily against the Death Knight.

What was worse than the two of them were the Gigants they were riding.

Their Gigants’ gloves were a mess, and their Gigant’s swords were ragged.

‘If we get pushed any further, it will turn difficult.’

Glancing at the back, Belik grunted.

He didn’t even realize that while he was involved in the fight, he was pushed back into the close vicinity of the Holy Palace.

If something went wrong, Reina, who was still in the Holy Palace, could be in danger.

Dimitry noticed the change in Belik’s actions.

“You are overly cautious about what’s behind you.”

“Because I am no traitor like you.”

At Belik’s reply, Dimitry smiled bitterly.

“As you said, I am a traitor for betraying the Volga Royal family. Yet, I do not plan to abandon the grave that Her Holiness has shown toward the people of Volga Republic.”

Having said that, Dimitry fixed his words and spoke, “I’ll create a gap. In that time, go for that monster’s neck.”

“Tch, the traitor is trying to do cool things.”

Although he grumbled, Belik didn’t turn down Dimitry’s offer.

It was because he knew that they couldn’t win against the monster in a straightforward battle.

Kiiing!

Dimitry accelerated the core engine and Gigantic aura to the maximum.

He pushed his giant sword ahead and rushed for the giant Death Knight.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

With a slight difference, Belik ran as well.

The giant Death Knight, seeing that, took a step ahead and got ready with his whip-like sword.

The Ki whip, which was flexible, had fierce air in it and went straight for Dimitry.

Dimitry, who managed to avoid three to four of the whip attacks with his sword, suddenly unfolded Gigantic Aura on both the hands of his Gigant and grabbed the Ki whip.

Due to him avoiding the whip and the attacks of the enemy, he was able to find out a pattern in the enemy’s movement.

“Belik, now!”

“I know!”

While Dimitry blocked the opponent’s weapon, Belik went rushing in with his Gigant.

Just as his name, Firestorm, he unfolded a high-speed quick sword attack with all his might.

Slash-!

With a sharp sound, the giant Death Knight’s head flew to the sky.

The moment the head fell down on the ground, the body too fell with a thudding sound.

Thump!

“Did it.”

“Huhu, just like the Firestorm.”

“Obviously! I have been a mercenary for the past 20 years, and I have been inclined to… look, look there!”

Belik, who was trying to boast about his 20 years of hardship, looked at Dimitry’s Gigant and went stiff.

A large hole was right under the breastplate, and red blood was flowing out.

“Wha-what is it? What?!”

Hastily, Belik approached Dimitry and tore off the breastplate from the Gigant.

“Kuak, it is not a big deal. I made a mistake while catching his attack a while ago…”

Rather than it being a mistake, the attack of the Death Knight was so strong that he missed catching it and ended up getting stabbed in the cockpit.

“This, damn it…!”

Belik, who was looking at Dimitry’s condition, turned pale. The place where he had been attacked was a huge slash near the heart.

The wound was so large that it was strange that Dimitry hadn’t died right away.

“Don’t die, you traitor! I will take you to the princess!”

Belik hurriedly supported Dimitry.

The Holy Palace wasn’t much far from their battlefield.

The other priests weren’t that great, but with Reina’s Divine power, which was like a miracle, Dimitry could be saved.

“Kuak! I am sorry. For your wife and kids… I wanted to protect them…”

With his pale complexion, Dimitry apologized for what happened 20 years ago.

In fact, before the republican revolution had begun, the two of them held a good relationship with each other.

As the swordsmen representing the Volga Kingdom, they shared a great relationship.

But the republican revolution changed everything.

Dimitry chose the republicans for the public welfare, and Belik, the head of the Guards, was his inevitable enemy, and Belik got destroyed during the revolution, not just the royal family but even Belik’s own family was killed, which was why Belik hated Dimitry.

“Idiot, don’t talk! If you still have strength, then hold onto your breath. Just hold on!”

Belik rushed to the Holy Palace.

But Duke Dimitry kept on apologizing to Belik.

In the end, the wound was too much, and he lost too much blood, he went into a state where his body was impossible to recover.

“Belik… I am sorry…”

Dimitry, who spoke the words in the faintest voice, lowered his head.

Belik kept shaking his head, looking at the man’s fallen posture.

It didn’t seem right. The man wasn’t supposed to die like that.

After the battle was over, he was thinking of asking him to pay for his sins in the past.

But, he fell down before anything could happen!

“Wake up! Wake up right now, you cowardly traitor!”
