Benedick, who felt the hostility pouring out towards him, or rather towards the child he was holding, put Lucy down with a weak smile.

“Relax with your friends in the back.”

“Are you… confident?”

Benedick smiled confidently at the sight of his daughter looking at him with concern even as her legs weakened and she sank down.

“Okay. I’m not sure, but I don’t think it will happen. ”

After carefully stroking his daughter’s hair, which had become a mess after a hard fight, Benedick took a deep breath and leisurely turned around.

The knight’s face on the battlefield was serious, heavy, and grim, unlike when he was standing in front of his daughter.

“I will ask. Lord of darkness. Are you the one who hurt my daughter?”

“My only regret is that I didn’t bother that bitch more! Shit! I should have killed him while he was trembling in fear. I had to make it so that only blood could be spit out from those gagging lips!”

“Indeed. That’s your answer.”

The knight whose reputation will never be erased across the continent draws his sword from his back.

A sword that you wouldn’t even think of holding if it weren’t for Benedick’s large size and strength.

A weapon that even merchants who left their names in history would not choose as a weapon, and it does not seem like a weapon that only minor warriors would prefer.

Benedick, who was holding on to a great sword as large as it was with both hands, swung the weapon with his Aura, and an explosion rang out from where the man was standing.

The sword strike swung by one person created an explosion that could not be recreated with any amount of magic.

“ Indeed! That’s a lot of strength to withstand fire!”

The body of the man inside was scattered on the floor without a trace, but the man’s voice did not stop.

“But it’s meaningless! Because the darkness does not disappear!”

Another man appears from the darkness. As if the body is just a tool. “Tough. There are no bugs.”

“Bug!? I?! under! ha ha ha! This is ridiculous! It’s truly laughable!”

As the man bursts into laughter, those standing there prepare for battle one by one.

An aura dwells on the sword of the Sword Saint.

The blessing of the goddess resides in the body of the apostle.

The wolf’s sharp claws point at the enemy.

A cloud of smoke billows around the fox.

The master of the fairies orders war. Knights who pride themselves on being the strongest on the continent form a camp.

“If you can, do it! For the Godhead, there is no concept of death!”

As darkness encroaches on the world following the anger of the evil god, the fairies who were chattering around them become frightened and step back.

“Have you ever fought in the dark!?”

Smell disappears from the world. After a long time, the pleasant scent of flowers that once again existed in the fairy forest was lost in the darkness.

“Have you ever faced God?!”

The sense of touch is erased. Was he carrying a weapon? Are you wearing armor? It becomes difficult to tell if you are holding on to something properly.

“Have you ever wondered why God is called God!?”

Vision is erased. The world is dyed in darkness. Mighty too. Beauty too. Danger too. When everything that the eyes perceive disappears, only black remains.

“If you don’t have it, you’ll regret it now! You will feel what it is like to be in charge of one power!”

The sound disappears. The sound of breathing coming from around you. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind. The screams of frightened fairies. The sound of iron when each person adjusts their posture.

“Hey.”

At the moment when all of that was about to be erased from the world, a laughing man’s voice penetrates the darkness and resonates throughout the world.

“I may be lacking compared to the main body, but I am still the Archmage Erginus.”

The sound returns. The sound of fairies chattering once again penetrates their ears.

“Your opponent and a part of the hero who defeated you.”

Vision returns. Those whose senses were sensitive in confusion flinch for a moment due to the sudden light.

“I am a madman who has been trying to find a way to deal with you for hundreds of years.”

The sense of touch returns. The feel of the calm wind blowing through the forest lets you know that your body is in good condition.

“But you think I haven’t created a way to counter your power?”

The smell returns. The scent of flowers that the Fairy Forest originally possessed spreads quietly, shouting that late spring has arrived in the forest.

“You’re arrogant. Just like when we lost before.”

“How dare you!”

“Haha. I think your strength will always belong to God…”

Cheaeng! Iron clashes with iron, creating a sharp sound behind Erginus.

The man who must have been expressing his anger in front of Erginus had already reached behind him and was pointing out a spear of darkness.

If Benedick, who had noticed this in advance, had not blocked the attack, Erginus would have had to allow the attack in vain.

“Hmm. You’re weak compared to your loud voice. My daughter will be stronger.”

“Tsk!”

The man’s eyes brightened as soon as Lucy was mentioned, but the attacks coming from around him were faster than him rushing towards him.

The people here are all monsters that make up a corner of the continent.

There is no way to miss the opportunity given by the opponent.

The wolf’s fangs tear through the throat.

The sword that the swordsman struck down cuts into his waist.

Sado’s fist explodes his chest.

Fatal wounds that would have resulted in instant death if the opponent had been human.

If the opponent was a person, one sharp attack would have been enough.

However, this time the opponent was not human. To God, attacks on the body were as meaningless as the flapping of insect wings.

If Erginus had not intervened in the darkness, instead of retreating, the man would have appeared in front of Erginus and pierced his head with a spear.

“Grand Wizard. Do you think you know what happened?”

“…It will be the use of power. Since they can’t take away our senses, they must have turned to another method.”

“What is the response?”

“Already doing it. Damn it. Has the power been destroyed before?”

The method Erginus chose to respond to the evil god of darkness is a kind of imitation.

When I spoke with the gods of magic in the past, I realized that they knew less about their powers than I thought.

To them, power is something like hands and feet that they were born with. Those who control power like breathing cannot easily accept things that are beyond their knowledge.

Afterwards, Erginus found out this fact through conversations with various gods and tried to use it to attack the evil god of darkness.

I prepared for today by wandering around looking for a way to recreate the power, thinking about when I would compete with an evil spirit for control of the power, coming up with countless strategies, and even thinking about various variables.

However, even though the evil god now shared power, instead of being embarrassed, he was fighting with Erginus for the leadership of darkness as if it was natural.

“You won’t lose your senses! Because that’s a very tricky thing! However, right now, I can’t prevent the use of power at all! Anyway, that guy is a god!”

“I mean right away.”

When Benedick swings his sword in the air, black thorns that did not exist just moments ago are cut and fall down.

“It sounds like they could soon take away your power.”

I don’t mean it to sound like “, that’s what I said!”

The Sword Saint’s sword focuses the night and splits it in half, pulverizing the man beyond it.

“Even if you are good at manipulating power, you are still a beast that was just born with power!”

The Apostle’s Fist flies ahead of the man’s appearance, crushing his attack and crushing the man’s face beyond him.

“How long can you last against this genius!”

The wolf, which has detected the enemy with the animal’s sense of smell, tears apart the veil of darkness that is trying to color the earth with its claws. The fairies following the queen’s orders are the first to cut off the darkness rising from deep within the earth.

“That fallen thing is no longer a god!”

Still, the man does not die. It blooms from the darkness and rushes towards them again, as if the concept of death does not exist.

“I will make it like that!”

“Do not disturb!”

One by one, life emerges from the dark earth.

Things commonly called monsters by humans on the continent. Beings united in hostility toward humans and greedy for life.

“They are all guys who could be the owners of a dungeon somewhere.”

Sword Seong, who had entered various dungeons while working as a mercenary, whistled after seeing their faces.

If you look at them one by one, they are nothing but trash, but I think it would be a hassle to cut them down while dealing with evil spirits.

Just as Geomseong was wondering if he should focus on that, a strong voice was heard from behind, easily suppressing the cries of the beast.

“Knights! Anyone who fails to defeat more than ten people will have to go back and undergo hellish training again and again!”

Although they were fearful of being crushed by the hordes of monsters flowing out like waves from the darkness, Aln’s knights rushed forward as if it was natural and cut off the enemy’s head.

“What can you do with only ten knights!”

“Huh. To your ugly eyes, does that look like a dozen? To me, it seems like there’s a lot more than that.”

Foxes made of fog take up positions that cannot be filled by knights alone and bite off the enemy’s neck.

“We can’t just be protected!”

“It’s bad if you hog fun things!”

“I will bless you!”

The children who created miracles take up arms again.

“Huh!”

A knight with monstrous strength bursts into the man’s body along with countless demons of the earth.

“It’s meaningless! You bastards!”

A fierce confrontation took place on the battlefield, but the only ones who were consumed were the living.

Even though the darkness scatters, it cannot be erased. Even if it is torn, it stays in place and comes back together again.

But what about life?

Physical strength is not infinite.

You can’t show off your super strength forever.

There is a limit to what you can endure with your mental strength.

“No matter how hard you struggle, night will come!”

And when night comes at the end, the situation gets worse.

When the time of darkness comes, not even Erginus will be able to completely block the power of the evil god.

“Hey. Jjintta.”

The analysis of how that guy uses his powers has already been completed. If this was just a fight between wizards, that guy should have been destroyed already.

But this is not a fight between wizards.

It is a struggle between God and man. It is a fight between a person who has been the master of darkness since birth and a human trying to lead the darkness.

In order to take darkness away from those who were born with darkness, we must cut the line between them! If you can’t do that and the night falls.

“Hey! Are your ears rotten? Does it make sense to ignore my cute voice?!”

Erginus, who was guessing the worst outcome, heard the girl’s voice and turned his head to the side.

And I found hope.

“Hey! One time. Can you get my attention just once? Is it possible to blow away that guy’s reason?”

I am disgusted with myself for having to once again entrust the burden to a child who must have reached his limits in return for creating a miracle, but this is the best. This child, who has shaken the evil spirit’s emotions several times before, can definitely create an opportunity!

Lucy giggled as she met Erginus’ eyes, which were a mixture of guilt and earnestness.

“Why are you asking the obvious?”

*

I raised my shield again when Erginus said that if I give myself just one chance, I will be able to reap the darkness.

‘Hmm.’

The reaction that caused the miracle of purification remains in my body. My legs are shaking, the divinity in my body has run out, and my head is dizzy. If I close my eyes, I feel like I’ll faint.

‘It’ll probably be okay.’

Still, something can be done.

‘I don’t plan on losing to that idiot.’

The opponent is such a bad boss that I can’t even count how many times I’ve killed him.

‘How can you lose when there are so many great tools out there?’

ruler. For the first time in a while, let’s play from the perspective of a player rather than a tank.

Thinking like this makes me overflowing with motivation!?

This is going to be so much fun!
