61 – Cowards say nothing

The Paladins and Priests quickly took over the area. First, we secured the gate.

The appearance of the hero Iares and the saintess Tessia encouraged the paladins and priests who had lost their morale, and they slowly pushed forward.

The reason why the war started to decline was that morale soared with the appearance of Iares and Thesia, but the biggest reason was the lack of command of the Dawning Society.

Moras, who will control the Dawn Society, has disappeared by Deian. Moreover, Deian didn’t care about the Dawn meeting’s victory or defeat. What mattered most to him was himself.

Kaihan, the lieutenant of Moras who led the Dawn Society, was quickly defeated by Gran, and even the remaining officers were in a hurry to fight.

As the warlocks’ defeat deepened, a priest who seemed unstoppable swung his staff mercilessly.

Just by standing around him, you could tell how strong he was and how powerful his staff was.

A strong wind blew up every time the giant priest swung his staff, and the sand grains that flew along with it hurt his skin.

“Ha, surrender!!!”

Faaagh!

Even a warlock who surrendered could be captured as a prisoner, but a priest wielding a staff would only die.

For that reason, the warlocks who were about to surrender stood up and fought again, but that did not turn the tide of the war.

Deian grinned and looked at Gran who was in the middle of the battle. He was originally curious about demon hunters from the past. The appearance of demon hunters at the academy was beyond imagination. Even losing in a sparring with Gran, Deian’s mind was only one obsession: wanting to defeat him.

Deian made his bloody spear. The blood clots gathered round his hand merged to form a light yet sharp spear.

He stretched out his left hand and aimed at Gran. He threw it hard at his neck.

“You don’t know how long I waited for this moment to come. Gran.”

Deian’s spear flew towards Gran’s neck at high speed. Before the spear pierced his throat, Gran snatched it.

“Yeah, it’s too bland to finish with that. Then how about this?”

Gran slowly raised his head. Gran’s eyes found Deian.

The priest stanced to return the spear he had seized to Deian. And that was the moment he was about to throw.

Quaaang!

The spear the high priest was holding caused a huge explosion. Gran’s huge body was thrown back by the explosion.

Falling to the floor, Gran braced himself and healed his tattered hands.

Deian smiled with his face, as if provoking Gran, and held out one of his hands.

A huge fireball formed from his hand. It wasn’t blood magic this time.

From noble mtl dot com

Burning green fireballs flew at breakneck speed.

“Avoid!”

Gran shouted at the paladins and priests and stepped back.

Quaaang!

The fireball caused a huge explosion. The green inferno burned everything within its blast range. Warlocks also took damage from his attacks.

Gran, who avoided the explosion, ran straight toward Deian.

Knowing that Gran was approaching, Deian hurriedly descended from the tower. This place was not suitable for fighting. He wanted to compete with Gran in a more spacious and quiet place.

Deian was well aware of how powerful Gran’s fists were. He did not have to fight in a confined space with Gran, who was good at using his fists.

Deian, who was going down the circular staircase, hurried down. He couldn’t even predict what would happen to him if he caught him.

Of course, he didn’t run away out of fear. Deian thought it was just to escape from an unfavorable place.

Quaaagh!

As he descended the circular staircase, his thick hand broke through the wall.

Deian stooped momentarily. Fortunately, he was not caught. He blew the round blood cell and burst it.

“… Yeah, that’s fun.”

Deian thought for a moment, ‘Why did his hand come out of there?’ That’s because it was almost 9 meters tall.

Deian made a quick move after bursting his blood cells. Close combat is dangerous. As soon as he got out of the tower, he attached his blood cell to the tower wall.

As the blood cell exploded and broke the pillar, the tower that stood firmly collapsed. Gran’s face was nowhere to be seen.

Deian climbed over the castle wall and headed towards the mountain full of withered trees behind. He increased his speed through demonization.

With a body that did not borrow the power of the devil, Gran could not be defeated.

The black, animal-like feet kicked the ground at high speed. He moved one step at a time as if flying.

Ugh!

Quang!

A staff passed over Deian’s head, cutting through the wind. If he had been a little taller or faster, he would not have been able to avoid death.

It was an undeniable fact that even for Deian, Gran was dangerous. However, on the other hand, Gran was equally dangerous.

“That mountain will be your grave.”

Dian smirked and ran.

He collected some of his blood cells, attached them to a stick embedded in the ground, and distanced himself.

I didn’t mean to destroy the wand. It was just a means to pass the time.

If Gran grabs the wand, it will explode at that moment and take damage, and if he doesn’t grab the wand, he has to fight without a weapon.

Gran grabbed the staff with a snap.

“Yeah, I knew you would.”

Kwaaang, kwaaang!

The moment Gran grabbed it, it exploded.

However, Gran didn’t care and ran while holding on to his staff.

Dian climbed the slope without stopping. He splattered blood cells all over the place and then he exploded. The dust rose and obscured his vision.

As the dust settled, Gran moved slowly, looking at a dry tree with no green leaves.

Deian hid himself.

The dry mountain was the best environment for Deian. Not cramped place. The view was good because there were no leaves, and the trees were so dense that it was an inconvenient place to wield a long staff.

Range attacks were not effective against Gran. An attack with increased penetration or cutting power is required.

Deian used his blood to create an awl-like arrow. He could not inflict fatal wounds, but it was a magic that could scar a priest with hard skin.

It was the moment I tried to cast magic on Gran.

Quad Deuk Deuk!

The demon hunter suddenly spun his staff clockwise. The dry trees were cut down as they were, and the dust rose and obscured the view.

Deian held his breath and waited again. There is absolutely no need to be in a hurry. This was his battlefield.

But that was Deian’s mistake.

“Heh heh, you hide and attack like a coward!”

Quaaang!

The High Priest appeared from the sky and struck hard with his staff.

Deian rolled his body and narrowly escaped the attack. Deian’s eyes cooled down as he saw the hollowed-out dirt floor.

“I don’t think I taught you how to exercise in hiding….”

Booooong.

Quaaagh!

“Keukkeuk. Ignorant bastard. Demon hunter, you will wither and die like the trees here.”

“In the end, even your black magic is unappealing.”

When Gran provoked, Dayan showed his teeth and frowned.

Dian touched the ground. Black magic flowed from his hands, and the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

The ground shook more and more strongly, and the energy of darkness caused a powerful explosion.

In an instant, the dry trees rotted away. However, those around Gran were still dry, but not rotten.

A protective film that shone brilliantly in golden light was formed around Gran.

“Heh heh, you can’t pierce my holy power with that damn dark magic.”

Dian gritted his teeth and glared at Gran. Deian’s appearance began to completely transform into that of a demon.

His claws became sharp like knives, and his teeth became like those of a beast.

“In the end, people who can’t do anything tend to be completely dependent on the devil. Just like you.”

“Keuuu….”

Deian opened his red eyes and rushed at Gran. He struck his staff with his sharp claws.

Deian seemed to be pushing, but he couldn’t hurt Gran in the slightest.

Gran raised his staff straight up and struck down with all his might. The cane burst Deian’s instep.

Dian’s instep staggered and he fell forward.

“Hmm…. I doubt he even bothered to learn black magic. I don’t know if it’s changed from when we sparred.”

Kwaaak.

Raised the cane that had broken his instep and struck it into the sky. Deian’s chin, which had come forward, was torn and tattered.

“It is hideous. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t need you.”

Gran accurately kicked the hamstrings. Even though Deian’s legs turned thick, he couldn’t overcome Gran’s strength and folded in reverse.

Deian lost his balance and collapsed.

“Heh heh heh….”

Gran pointed the cane at Deian’s neck.

“It was a very bland fight. Last thing to say….”

“Now….”

Paaagh!

“I don’t have a chance to tell you.”

Deian’s head, which had turned into a demon, disappeared without a trace.
