Night of the Soulless Heathens – 505



#506. Night of the Soulless Blasphemous 17

Dahlia quickly steered the wyvern towards Jecht and picked up the javelin that was stuck in the saddle.

This single-handed spear could be used one-handed from the wyvern’s saddle and could also be thrown if necessary.

Her arms transform and lengthen.

The wight’s horribly deformed arms are loaded with terrifying power to create maximum destructive force when throwing the spear.

But when Jecht raised his hand a gust of wind arose disrupting the wyvern’s flight.

‘I can’t find the angle to throw the window!’

Dahlia struggled to turn the wyvern around in the excitement of battle.

Meanwhile other wyvern riders and wraiths flew towards Jecht but Jecht’s halo rotated and something glared at him through the gap.

The wyverns and ghosts that were hit by that gaze instantly cowered.

Beings that approach the Jet are crumpled and compressed as if they were paper dolls crumpled into a wad of paper.

And the mountain of bugs that Jett is riding slowly raises its arms.

‘No! It’s fast.’

It may look slow on the outside but that’s because the mountain of bugs is so huge that it only looks that way. In reality it’s an angle that’s impossible to avoid.

The dahlia already caught in the wind could not escape.

-Boom!

Dahlia’s wyvern was struck by a mountain of bugs with its fist extended.

The wyvern was torn to pieces. It was more like it was flying well and then crashed to the ground.

The fist that the mountain of bugs swung was so huge that it was more like a fall than a hit.

But Dahlia was alive.

Just before the wyvern collided she broke the straps attached to her saddle and flew over the wyvern riding the gust of wind and narrowly avoiding the insect’s mountainous fist.

And in that state he throws a javelin in the air. The javelin fired with his greatly extended arm is imbued with a powerful curse and aims for Jecht.

“You are quite a good knight.”

Zect looked at Dahlia praising her for her ability to improvise in a crisis.

Dahlia’s eyes met the being beyond the torn two-dimensional halo.

-Snap!

Dahlia’s body was sucked inside her.

-Bam!

In an instant her body crumpled into pieces of meat.

And the mountain of bugs reached out and picked up the compressed flesh of her body.

Countless insects dragged her flesh into themselves.

*********

“All Dahlias!”

Sedrin bit his lip as he watched Dahlia get buried in the attack of the insect-like monster that suddenly appeared.

Not only Dahlia but other whites and undead were also swept away by the mountain of bugs brought by Jecht.

With this all of her blood relatives those who had fallen to the White died.

Clearly liberating her blood relatives had been her lifelong wish but the moment it was achieved what Sedrin felt was anger.

“Calm down! Sedrin!”

“your majesty!”

Sedrin felt Azadin’s calming hand and only then did he realize that he was outside the battlements.

Outside the ice citadel’s battlements battles continued between the Netherbound and the vampire detachments who were trying to bypass the Fimbul Horde.

Jibek Ismail Midiam and Niselda are helping the vampires fight off the enemies coming up to the castle but the number of enemies increases with each lightning strike.

“There are too many! What should I do?”

“First of all they do this!”

Azadin aimed his sword at the mountain of monster bugs that Jecht was riding.

Suddenly a pure white whirlwind descended from the sky toward that area and struck the mountain of bugs.

To be precise it was to remove the protection from the cold. There was no need to protect enemies with miraculous powers.

And these cold attacks are clearly effective against Nether’s minions once they have taken on flesh and materialized.

It was especially effective against insects.

The bugs that made up the outer shell began to freeze and die in an instant.

The inside was still okay due to the body heat generated by being huddled together but the cold air of Fimbulbert continued to attack the mountain of bugs.

It wasn’t exactly Azadin using cold magic. He simply took the power of the emperor who protected this area and prevented the army that Jecht had brought from relying on his protection.

As soon as Azadin took back the Emperor’s protection the cold air that had been flowing with a terrifying force in the sky suddenly descended and swept away the Nether forces in an instant.

“This is true. Just because I tried to take advantage of your protection you are so ruthless in cutting it off.”

When Jecht unable to stand watching cast a spell the cold air that was pouring down from the sky stopped.

Jecht began to protect this place on behalf of Azadin.

That’s not all.

-Whoooosh!

The body of a giant monkey-shaped Nether monster began to burn.

The monster screams in pain and writhes but the flames burn unabated.

It’s not just that monster.

The bodies of the monsters near the ice citadel were engulfed in flames causing them to writhe in agony.

The monsters driven mad by the fire cannot bear the pain and rush towards the castle.

“Everyone look away! If you look here you’ll go blind!”

A halo of light appeared above Azadin’s head. From that halo great wings of light spread out and dazzling light gathered from both ends of the wings.

And in an instant the gathered light became a ray of light and shot out.

A beam of light swept across the waists of the monsters as they raced toward the ice fortress.

And after the ray of light passes through the frozen sky…

-Kurururung!

The burnt monsters’ waists are neatly split in two.

The monsters fell around still burning and fell upon the other Netherlings.

“oh my god!”

Even Azadin’s colleagues were shocked by the sight.

A god-like power that cuts through monsters with a single blow. But the price was clearly visible before everyone’s eyes.

Blood flows from Azadin’s nose and eyes.

Azadin’s leather armor was soaked with blood. The blood dripping to the floor was definitely not just from his nose and eyes but from other parts of his body as well.

“Wow you are the chosen one. Your power is definitely that of a miracle worker. But what about this?”

The halo above Jecht’s head expanded in an instant becoming a giant dimensional rift.

Lightning shot out from the crack and struck the sky darkening the heavens and earth and revealing more monsters.

The monsters that Azadin had just cut down with his beam of light were quickly replenished.

That’s not all. The Nether Hordes grew even larger and the Fimbul Horde now without a commander was pushed back and was on the verge of annihilation in an instant.

“Ject!”

An enraged Zibek called out Zect’s name.

“Why are you doing this! You are one of Yaegasu’s benefactors!”

Jibek shouted loudly but his voice was only a human voice. It could not reach Jecht who was performing the miracle far away.

But Zect’s voice answered.

“Ah. Sir Jibek. Don’t look for reason. The world is full of absurdity and suffering. Only that is the truth.”

Unlike someone who had committed such a terrible act Jecht’s voice was calm.

That grated on Zibek’s feelings.

“If you hadn’t done this things would have been okay! You are the one who benefited from Yaegasu more than anyone else! If you wanted to you could save so many people but you use that power to hurt people instead!”

“Yes. Even though I became a monk against my will I am a member of the royal family and have been greatly privileged compared to the common people. Not to mention His Majesty the Emperor who was born to the Untouchables.”

“….”

“But that is why it is absurd. This world is full of absurdity and malice so I am the one who truly loves this world and you and the Emperor are the ones who oppose the world.”

Zect said so and smiled.

Lord Astarte had said that Jecht loved nothing.

But more than anything Zect was enjoying the moment of fidelity.

Yes. It seems like my life up until now was only for this moment.

I am so happy and loyal.

If you were to give that feeling a name what else would it be but love?

“You’re crazy!”

Although Zibek was enraged Zect again set the giant monster on fire and charged at it.

“Everyone stand back. It’s dangerous.”

“your majesty!?”

“Close your eyes!”

Azadin once again spread his wings of light from the Halo and swung them left and right sending out beams of light.

The monsters fall in two splitting apart and the approaching Netherlings explode.

It was a terrifying miraculous power that seemed like it could even vaporize mountains but it once again destroyed Azadin’s body.

Thanks to the magic of recovery the wounds on his body healed immediately but Azadin staggered unable to bear the pain.

“Isn’t it absurd? The great emperor who alone carries the world by his miraculous powers can so easily neutralize his struggles!”

With Jecht’s shout lightning struck again and the Nether’s retinue was replenished.

The ice wall created by Lord Sok collapses and Nether’s minions advance towards the stairs.

Azadin had taken back his protection but Jecht had taken his place and the corpses of giant monsters were burning around him causing the temperature to rise.

Amid the indescribable stench of burning flesh fur and fat twisted beings of a different kind approach climbing the icy steps.

“Tch.”

“Your Majesty the Emperor!”

The Fimbul Horde’s forces were also melted away. The only ones left were the vampires that Azadin had selected as a special force but they too were wounded as they fought against the incoming Netherlings.

“I want to drink blood.”

The fountain where Asajit’s blood flows is destroyed causing the blood to flow in the wrong direction.

Vampires have a special ability to increase their resilience when they drink blood but with the ice fortress destroyed they were unable to utilize that special ability.

The vampire spire had already been overrun by the Netherlings who were now flocking to the main spire.

“Are you talking about blood?”

Blood poured down from the fallen vampire spires and from the still safe places behind Azadin towards the vampires.

“no!?”

-vitality!

Powerful blood magic brought vitality to everyone’s exhausted bodies.

“Sorry I’m late.”

And then those belonging to the Van Dyke Company suddenly appeared in the castle along with the alchemist.

Behind them a black thorny arch formed and out of it came the alchemists the merchants and Giacomo and Bernard.

“Shade Hag’s magic?”

“Ah it’s the Mother Superior’s help.”

Azadin revealed that the Mother Superior of the Order of Mercy was assisting with magic.

[Mother Mother! Are you ready?]

Azadin asked the Mother Superior in the voice of an emperor.

[Yes! I’m trying to send the next reinforcement but there’s no room nearby. As Your Majesty knows it’s because the magic is parasitic on Your Majesty’s messengers.]

Using the messengers who carried the Emperor’s voice the Mother Superior was able to create a gateway connecting the Emperor and the messengers.

Azadin was able to appear in this ice fortress because he created a gateway starting from Ismail with the help of the Mother Superior.

“There is no space. Then I will make it right away.”

Azadin looked around.
