The remaining grudge

Chuck!
The soldiers raised themselves.
Wearing old armor and holding old weapons.
However, the old equipment did not rust and was still functional.
There was no oil to light up the darkness but enough oil to wipe the armor.
Even if there was no cloth to put on the old and torn clothes, there’s enough cloth to wipe the blade.
The soldiers who had vowed revenge until the very end, who wanted to regain their lost country, rose again after hundreds of years.
“Blood to blood! Death to death!”
Tears of blood flowed from the soldiers’ eyes.
The resentment they held to the end revealed the reality and shook the space.
“Ugh!”
Delfino, who had followed Ivan belatedly, groaned.
The whole place was full of bitter resentment.
It was getting stronger through the power of the demon.
He immediately fell to his knees on the spot and closed his eyes.
And he raised prayers to Arun, the Lord of Brilliant Light.
“Brilliant lord, the great light.
Give your power to this land.
Have mercy on those who are grieving in the darkness.”
Who-.
A light flashed behind Delfino’s back.
Arun, the god of light, who heard his prayer, answered and sent a dazzling light down to the underground fortress.
As the light filled with divine power spread, the bodies of the soldiers approaching with tears of blood began to burn.
The body made up of the power and resentment of evil energy was purified and disappeared.
-God is going to forsake us again!
thud!
The enraged prince of Exile stomped his feet strongly.
Then a dark aura flowed out of his body and permeated the soldiers’ bodies.
The soldiers who had been purified by light burned their resentment again.
Tears of blood flowed from their eyes, even thicker than before.
“Glory of Ashkan!”
“Reclaim our land!”
The knights who served the prince of the exiled country to the end shouted.
The soldiers responded and rushed.
Ferocious Tooth stood in front of him, unafraid.
“I am the warrior of the Red Valley Tribe!”
His longitudinal pupils became sharper.
The excitement of battle made his body hot.
He swung his sword with a ferocious grin.
“The old sword cannot defile my body!”
bang!
Irene drew her bow while Ferocious Tooth alone stopped dozens of soldiers.
And she hid in the dark and pulled the bowstring.
Squeak!

The air flowing around her is compressed.
Dozens of wind arrows, as sharp as the arrows she was holding, were made in the air.
Pew!
When Irene finally released her bow, her arrow pierced the soldiers instantly and hit the ground.
All of them, even the arrow of the wind that followed.
The arrows of the wind that dig into the soldiers’ bodies expand instantly.
The compressed air regained its shape, and the surroundings were lowered outward.
A strong explosion shook the Citadel of Blood and Tears.

Kwagwang!
Hududu!
The ground and the basement shook.
The wall was cracked, and stone dust from the ceiling fell.
Ivan, who was looking for an opportunity as a signal, rushed in.
Crackle!
bang!
With thunder steps, he narrows the distance at once and swings his spear.
When the Prince of Exile was about to counterattack, Ivan swung to the side and blew out flames.
Whoosh!
The Prince of Exile turned his gaze away only when the scorching flames hit him.
Just a moment.
Because Ivan’s vision blinded him and slowed his reaction.
However, the flame that Ivan emitted could not burn him.
Suddenly, a black aura flowed from his body, blocking the flames.
-Did you burn my kingdom like that?
Tung!
Ivan widened the distance while avoiding the prince’s attack.
He combined stealth, surprise, and illusion magic in an instant to deceive the enemy’s senses and move them blindly.
Two wolf spirits helped him.
Attacking the exiled prince, they made it possible for Ivan to hide his body.
Kung!
The wolf spirits who lowered their postures rushed to the Prince of Exile.
They were never strong, but they knew no fear.
Geri (TN: I’ll use this for now) and Freki, both are names that mean greed.
They were the guys who received the same name as the wolves that Odin was dealing with.
In Norse mythology, words and names were very important elements.
Because the wolf spirits were called by the same name as the beings in myths, they gradually became like them.
The power of the wolves that ate the dead corpses resided in them.
He bit the prince of Exile with their teeth, making him realize that he was a dead man who had already died a long time ago.
-Even insignificant creatures are stopping me!
bang!
The Prince of Exile shook off the wolves and threw them away.
The spear pierced Geri and Freki’s heads, killing them off.
The shock of the reverse summoning of the wolf spirits struck Ivan, and the prince of the Exile recognized the location of Ivan through the slight shaking that occurred.
-You bastard! Don’t run away, give me your head! Don’t use dirty tricks!
A smile appeared on Ivan’s lips as if he had heard such praise.
It was a feeling of genuine satisfaction.

“Don’t go out of your way because your body has already rotted away.”
Shh!
Ivan loaded his magical powers and swung his ax hard.
As soon as the Prince of Exile took a half step back by hitting it, Ivan chanted a spell.
“Valdr galga”
In the Norse language, the ruler of the gallows.
Whirl!
A rope of magical power springs up from the runes that the exiled prince stepped on and wraps around his neck.
The rope then lifted him into the air and began to hang his neck.
Gradually he grabbed the rope that tightened his neck, and the prince of Exile bit his teeth.
-Eek! Traitor!
It was too familiar and hateful for him.
How many people lost their lives by hanging on the gallows when the country burned down.
His father, who wanted to save the people with an honorable death, was hanged with all sorts of shame.
Also, the general and his brothers were hanged.
At the fact that the hated thing was strangling his neck, the prince of Exile vomited his anger.
-I will chew and swallow them all!
To-do-duk!
The gallows made with magical power collapsed.
The evil magic emitted by the Prince of Exile was not enough to destroy the surroundings, yet it was getting stronger.
Ivan glanced upwards.
There, the warlocks were still in the process of ceremonies.
Dark-red flames were burning and scattering demonic energy.
‘I have to stop that… .’
While he looked away for a moment, the prince of the ruined kingdom approached and swung his spear.
-I will never hand over the throne to you again!
Whik!
The spear brushes past Ivan’s forehead.
The wind pressure rips the skin and bleeds, and the blunt impact makes his head dazed.
A moment of distraction.
The Prince of Exile did not miss it.
It could have been blocked in the first place.
However, Ivan’s reaction was delayed because he had lost his eye, and it was an attack in his blind spot.
The next attack is approaching.
He tried to pierce Ivan’s neck with a sharp spear.
At that moment, Ivan called out a name inwardly.
‘Thor.’
Kurung!
bang!
Thunder echoes in the basement.
Thunder and lightning from the sky appeared from the ground.
-Ouch!
The exiled prince took a few steps back.

His arm, holding the spear, turned black and hot smoke rose.
The thunder god’s power that flowed from Ivan’s body penetrated his body.
Crackle!
Ivan murmured lowly, feeling the power of thunder that filled his body.
“I can’t stand it too long.
So let’s keep it short.”
At that, the god of thunder chuckled and nodded his head.
He watched as the warrior who summoned him could run wildly.
Blood and death, a fierce battle.
The thunder god who smelled the battlefield swung his hammer very weakly.
Enough for his weakest warrior to endure.
Chichik, Chijik!
The lightning that ran through Ivan’s body grew stronger.
With that enormous force, he slammed the ground and moved forward.
flash!
bang!
Truly thunderous.
Ivan approached with lightning speed and power and kicked the Prince of Exile.
A gloomy magical energy erupted from the prince’s body and stopped Ivan, but it couldn’t withstand the hammer of the thunder god.
The prince of the ruined kingdom, who had been exiled for a long time, frowned and got up again.
He tried to attack Ivan but was blocked by Ferocious Tooth that approached him.
“I have not seen your blood!”
There were only traces of the soldiers who had returned with a handful of blood and dirt around them.
After slaughtering all the many soldiers, Ferocious Tooth swung his sword at the Prince of Exile.
The thick sword wielded with a body much larger than a human gave a shock that was almost similar to a blunt weapon.
The prince of the ruined country could not break through at once and stopped.
While he was free, Ivan shoved his legs firmly into the ground.
And he twisted his back, moving forward as if pushing the ground.
Power from the ground was transmitted through his strong arms to the hand holding his spear.
Ivan shouted loudly as he threw his spear hard.
“Thoor!”
As if jumping through space, the spear disappeared and reappeared.
All of a sudden, the black magicians pierced through the flames of the dark red demonic energy that surrounded them and got stuck there.
A white light erupts from the spear of the lost warrior.
Soon, the power of heaven reached the underground.
Kwagwagwang!
A roar erupted with a strong shock wave.
Demon worshippers that surrounded the demon’s flame were thrown out in all directions, and parts of the underground citadel collapsed.
beep-.
Even though Ivan was protected with magic, his ears became deaf.
At a moment’s loss of hearing, everything became quiet, and Ivan heard a burning flame.

Ivan felt his body suddenly become heavy.
He realized that a strong presence was looking down on him.
The leader of death.
A subordinate of Cthullas, the Demon King of Destruction, and a great demon whose name is engraved in mythology and history.
The dark red evil flame became his eyes.
He looked at this pathetic, annoying mortal that had come into his gaze several times.
(dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
[You can’t stop us.
You insignificant mortal.]
Every word he uttered shook Ivan’s soul.
Just as Ivan was about to be crushed by the enormous presence that he could yet overcome, someone appeared from behind him.
Thor.
The most militant and strongest god of thunder in Asgard.
He put a hand on Ivan’s back.
The warrior, who had been crushed by the presence of the Great Demon, stood up so that he would not fall.
The thunder god didn’t say anything.
I just looked at him with indifferent eyes.
“Ivan! Ivan! Calm down!”
Ivan’s eyes twitched at Delfino’s sudden cry.
‘What was that just now? I thought I saw something?’
Looking at Delfino with a bewildered expression, he was pouring out divine power to restore him.
“Are you okay? Can you hear me now?”
It seems that Delfino restored the ruptured eardrum with his divine power.
Seeing that Ferocious Tooth also had a painful expression on his face, it seemed that he had lost his hearing and regained it.
It was only Irene who was fine.
She had created a vacuum with the spirit of the wind, blocking the sound.
“Ugh.”
Ivan could feel his stomach churning and the taste of fishy blood.
Wasn’t it a bit unreasonable to borrow the power of God even though he wasn’t completely healed?
It was getting a lot better, though.
He seemed to be able to get a little stronger and be fine if he received the reward promised by the elf.
“Rituals? The other enemies?”
Irene answered the question with a slight frown.
“I’ve taken care of everything.
You almost went with them.”
Blue light of magic emanated from her eyes.
Her spirits, fully exposed, were blocking the crumbling dirt and rocks and then moving them aside.
“Fortunately, you didn’t crush to death.
Aren’t you lucky?”
“It’s not an ordinary underground, it’s a place that has already been turned into a dungeon, so it won’t collapse anymore.
If we remove the dungeon core, it will return to its original form..
Shouldn’t our hard work be rewarded?”
After understanding what Ivan said, Delfino clapped his hands together.
“It’s farming!”
