My Civil Servant Life Reborn in the Strange World-Chapter 341

Chapter 341. The Holy Grail of Revenge (3)

Someone who had suffered through something would know it best. When I had been squashed under the stone statue knight at the ruins, I had really thought I was going to die. The weight of a giant golem was so overwhelmingly violent, I bet even my father wouldn’t be able to escape if he were properly squashed underneath.

Realizing that, the enemy black magicians attacked, trying to stop the golems and protect their church.

"Not a chance!" I cried as I directed the chirps to prepare dozens of great magic circles in the air. "Let the Sky God's anger pour down! Instant fusion! The Thunder God’s spear that races across the sky!" A giant thunderstorm brought down thousands of bolts of Lightning that Races Across the Sky.

I focused my shots on the place where the black magicians were, but half were blocked by the magicians and half were blocked by a barrier surrounding the church. However, the enormous electrical current of the spell flowed through the barrier, burning the fanatics on the ground.

"How dare you!" The black magician, who appeared to be the head of the enemy church, was furious.

But I hadn’t even begun yet. With their overwhelming weight, the golems fiercely rolled along the ground and broke through the barrier that had been weakened from having blocked the spell.

"Reinforce it!" the black magician cried.

"Too late. Caradoc!" I shouted. The dragon tooth soldiers charged through the gap created in the barrier. Knights using black mana poured out from inside the church, and a war began to break out.

I launched another great magic before the family members of the Demon King could attack the dragon tooth soldiers. "Chain of Seven Stars! Tie up my enemies!" I cried. A thick, seven-colored magic chain appeared in the air and bound the family members of the Demon King.

"Flame Constellation!" I yelled. Subsequently, thousands of flames poured down on the demons.

Just then, one of the Demon King family members, the black lion, struggled free of the chain and rushed in. Its wounds from having been burned violently regenerated, and at the same time, it shot its needle-like mane at me.

"How dare you impertinently throw fur at Master?!" Gwalchavad exclaimed, blocking the mane with his shield without even letting it reach my barrier. Subsequently, arrows surrounded by Tristan's strong aura penetrated the black lion’s eyes.

-Kuaaaaahhhh!

The lion screamed in pain.

"Wow, Master. The mana flowing from Master is extraordinary. Did you secretly eat something good?” Tristan asked while looking at his arrow, which was wrapped in strong aura that had been produced even more smoothly than usual.

The dragon tooth soldiers and knights were essentially powered by the Miracle Crystal from the ruins, but they could be reinforced with my own mana.

I shrugged at Tristan's playful joke and replied, "Who knows? Let's go get some rest after this business."

"That sounds good!" Tristan replied, excitedly firing arrows and attacking the family members of the Demon King.

Before I knew it, the pterodactyl and the horned snake had regenerated from all of their wounds, escaped from the chains, and charged at me. I gave orders while infusing the Holy Sword with mana. "Tristan, Gwalchmai, and Bors, support Caradoc and turn the church to dust!"

"Yep! Got it, Master!"

"I'll be back after smashing everything! So please leave me some of those demons that look fun to fight, Hyung-nim!”

"I will send all those evil henchmen that blaspheme the Goddess to hell, Boss!"

The battle-crazy Bors seemed disappointed that he couldn’t fight with the demons, and Gwalchmai, a paladin, charged into the church with lively killing intent against the Demon King worshippers.

To make it easier for the three knights to enter, the giant golems kept the broken barrier open. With them preventing the gap in the barrier from closing, intruding was easy.

After confirming that they had entered, I shouted, beheading the snake the size of a house with the Holy Sword. "Lionel! Bedivere! Palamedes! Percival! Take care of the enemy's leadership without leaving a single one behind!"

It couldn’t end with just destroying the church. They had to be completely eradicated so they couldn’t cause trouble in the future. At my orders, the four knights also went into the church.

"What? This punk," I remarked.

Two heads sprang out of the body of the horned snake I had beheaded. Was it a Hydra or what? The horned snake stretched its necks and rushed forth with its mouth open from both sides.

Gwalchavad and I jumped high into the air and avoided it, but the pterodactyl showed itself from right above us.

"How dare this ancestor of a chicken stick out its chicken legs?! Wind Maiden!" I pierced the pterodactyl from all sides with countless spears of wind.

-Kyyyyaaakk!

The pterodactyl’s body was pierced through with holes by the wind and fell due to the holes in its wings, but it regenerated and flew back up.

"Gwalchavad, you go to the site my grandfather went to and look for Hillis' sister. She’ll probably be there for the ceremony,” I instructed.

"But…” Gwalchavad hesitated, but eventually nodded and said, “I understand." He headed to the place where the Demon King was being summoned.

Gwalchavad had also been called the Knight of the Holy Grail in the past. As the guardian of the Holy Grail, he had the ability to detect the location of holy relics. It was certain that Hillis' older sister would have the holy relics needed for the ceremony.

The family members of the Demon King surrounded me and emitted killing intent, now that I had been left alone. Each one was stronger than a great demon.

I smiled and held up my magic wand, saying, "You guys aren’t even as good as animals."

I took the Miracle Crystal out of my pocket space, released it from its seven layers of seals, and embedded it into my magic wand. Then, the crystal that had gathered the world’s mana for 500 years and seemed to have no end overflowed. It was mana so powerful, it would quickly turn an ordinary magician into a handful of ashes in an instant.

"The fact that you chose the wrong opponent..."

Before having surpassed the limit, I wouldn’t even have been able to touch it without the seal, let alone use it. But now, I could handle it without the seal. The mana traveled through the magic wand in my hand, then the magic circuit in my arm, and spread throughout my body, leaving me feeling refreshed.

"I'll engrave it in your soul."

When I swung my magic wand, the ground rose sharply and penetrated the body of the black lion. The pterodactyl, who had been trying to swallow me into its gaping mouth, was forced to crawl on the ground due to the sudden increase in gravity.

-Siaaaahhh!

The horned snake tried to wrap around me with its body, but I cut it into dozens of pieces with the Holy Sword.

"Fusion Enlightenment! Revised! Dance of the Fireflies!”

Golden mana grains spewed out of my whole body and strengthened me. It wasn’t a technique that strengthened me only in the brief moments I made contact, but rather a complete Dance of the Fireflies.

The black lion broke the earth that rose from the ground while emitting black mana from it’s whole body, regenerating from the wound that had penetrated it. Then it shot a Breath.

-Caoooooooo!

I kicked the pieces of the horned snake toward the Breath, crying, "Friend Shield!” The head of the horned snake was directly hit by the Breath, flying away as a handful of ashes as it defended me.

"Keuk! I won't forget your sacrifice! Unknown head of the snake, No.1 and No.2!" I shed tears as I saw it turn into ash and blow away, and then shot a strong aura blast at the black lion, splitting its head in two.

-Kiiiaaaak!

Before I knew it, the horned snake’s head grew back, and it cried out from its three heads. It had a phenomenal ability to regenerate.

"Don't ruin my memories and die! Heavenly Punishment!” I cried. Using the divine power emitted from the Holy Sword, I shot divine lightning at the horned snake to the point that it didn’t even leave any trace. Thanks to divine power, which was the opposite of black mana, its regeneration felt slower. Hurry up and create a beautiful ending!

While I was supporting the snake hard, the pterodactyl, which had escaped my high gravity field, opened its mouth and attacked me again.

"I'll deal with you later, so lie down!" I exclaimed. Again, the pterodactyl was stuck in the ground under a gravity field.

Then, the black lion, which had been split in half, merged into one and shot its mane at me again.

"New Friend Shield!” I cried, blocking the mane by reversing the gravity that weighed down the pterodactyl and making it rise. Then, I kicked the pterodactyl in the stomach and sent it flying toward the lion.

The lion jumped away quickly and avoided the pterodactyl, and the pterodactyl hit the church's barrier and smashed it once again.

"Golem! Crush it!" I called. Two golems that had been hitting the barrier according to my instructions launched themselves one after another, landing on top of the pterodactyl and crushing it.

-Kiiiaaaaak!

The pterodactyl, crushed under the pile of heavy stones, screamed desperately. The gravity field increased weight by a few times, but the golems were tens of times heavier and took away freedom of movement.

After avoiding the pterodactyl, the black lion ran up to me and swung its front paw covered with a strong aura of black mana at me.

I put a golden field of strong aura all over my body and kicked its front paw as it flew toward me. Its paw bent the opposite way, twisting in a direction joints weren’t supposed to move in.

"Teleport." I immediately teleported into the space behind the black lion and swung the Holy Sword.

"Enlightenment, Heavy Rain!" One strike was divided into hundreds and then thousands of branches, and many aura blades crashed onto the black lion’s back. The divine power permeating those blades cut through the black lion’s body and slowed its regeneration.

If Hillis were here, this would have been finished easily. Even though the Holy Sword created divine power, it fell far short of the divine power of Hillis, a real saintess.

"Oh, you're regenerating barbarically fast,” I remarked.

Not long after the horned snake became ash, it quickly finished regenerating and exhaled poison on me. I swung my magic wand and redirected the poison pouring on me toward the black lion, exclaiming, "This time, it's a Friend Attack!"

It was a pity. If only Hillis were here, she could block their regeneration and I would freeze them with ten thousand year ice. Because I was dealing with three at the same time, I didn’t have the time to use magic at my leisure.

-Kuaaaaahhhhh!

The black lion’s body was hit by the poison and quickly corroded, and it screamed in pain.

"What? Was this poisonous acid rain? Even though it sent a Breath at you, isn’t this too mean to your friend?! Don't you think so? Friend Shield No.3!" I yelled.

Oh, since No. 1, the Golden Goddess statue, had turned into the Holy Sword and finished its role as a friend shield, should I have promoted it to No. 2?

-Kiiiaaaak!

The regenerated horned snake also howled from its four heads in surround sound as if it agreed with me.

Before I knew it, there were already four snake heads. I was getting curious as to how many heads would form if I kept killing it. I said, "Tch, what a pity. If I had enough time, I would have done an experiment.”

In the meantime, I froze the black lion that had been melted in the acid with Old Man Arpen's ten thousand year ice magic to prevent it from regenerating.

The horned snake and the pterodactyl who had escaped from the pile of golems at some point rushed to interfere.

"Oh, so this magic is actually dangerous,” I said. I was grateful that they were charging angrily in such an easy-to-understand amanner.

After taking a deep breath, I cut the two family members of the Demon King apart with the Heart Sword. The horned snake and pterodactyl fell to the ground, and the melted black lion was completely frozen.

"Hu-ha! Like I thought, Heart Sword and great magic don’t mesh well!"

No matter how much I had surpassed the limits, both needed a high level of concentration and mana. The mental power and energy consumption needed to use them in conjunction were no joke.

Next, I tried to use the ten thousand year ice to deal with the second biggest threat, the horned snake.

Then suddenly, my connection with Gwalchavad was cut off, and the core containing his soul returned to my pocket space. I exclaimed, "What?"

At the same time, I felt a strange power from the Demon King worshipping church.
