Chapter 97: Vol. 4 – Episode 10
Sungjin’s team stood at the end of the forest, watching Kapitle walking away.
“That’s why people said he was one of the two absolute power players, the other being the Holy Pope. Fire can’t even touch him.” When Eustasia praised his skill, Ereka answered with her positive spirit.
“But I’m sure he exhausted a bit of his power for sure. And Sungjin’s real plan is about to begin, isn’t it?”
“You are right. Hmph.” Can Kapitle easily beat our attack again?
“Everyone ready?”
“Yes!”
“Yeap,” Rachel and Jenna answered with a strong spirit.
Kapitle slowly approached Sungjin’s team. He didn’t seem to care that there were five of his enemies gathered around the turret because of his arrogant belief in his own power.
Jenna was the first one preparing the attack with the magic square of three layers under her feet. Thunder started to fill the sky. A gigantic hammer made of white thunder fell from the sky and hit the ground. The destructive power that had covered up the sun and shook the ground made the air roar like thunder.
“Mjolnir!” It was an attack from God of war that slayed the snake which was coiling up a world. The legend said the attack could destroy mountains and the sky with a single blow. Jenna was summoning a part of the power of Mjolnir to break everything in her attack range.
But Kapitle laughed at the majestic power as if it was child’s play. “Boring. It is worse than my boring weapons that I don’t even know where I have put them.” He drew another rune in the air. “The shield.” A blue and gold shield covered him before Mjolnir hit him.
Kaboom. A loud explosion shook the ground. The ground was burned and the forest became ashes. There was nothing left but... Kapitle.
“That’s the power of a fake.”
When the thunder was gone, Kapitle stood without a scratch, as if he wanted to prove that he was the strongest of the continent.
Thor’s hammer was not strong enough to go through Kapitle’s rune, although it was a clash of an ultimate skill against a normal skill. That was the difference between Jenna and Kapitle.
Mjolnir disappeared in vain. At least, that was what everyone thought, but then the ground fell down. “Huh?” The ground Kapitle had been standing on fell away along with everything around it.
It was not a tiny trap. It had seemed like an earthquake, but it was not an earthquake. The ground fell down into an abyss, which was an impossible thing to happen on the battlefield—that was the last plan Sungjin had prepared for the battle there.
Sungjin already used the mountain as a trap by using an avalanche and the river as a trap as well. Kapitle would have been more careful if he had known it was a landscape with the possibility of a natural disaster. Sungjin, the young lion, who believed he had just bitten the enemy’s throat, smiled, looking at the scene. “It was not too difficult to figure out that Jenna’s ultimate skill wouldn’t be strong enough to attack you.” So I prepared something else.
It was a “sinkhole.” He had gotten rid of the underground water below the battlefield and had dug even further underneath it to make the ground unstable.
Sungjin had used science to fight against Kapitle and had successfully buried Kapitle underground. There was nowhere to step or stand on. Kapitle didn’t have time to do anything but fall into the sinkhole’s abyss. The arrogant Wise King fell down into the abyss without a bottom, and pieces of ground fell into the hole as if they were his tombstones.
This was the hidden card that Sungjin had prepared to fight against the Golden Wise King. Sungjin had only used the fire to make Kapitle slightly exhaust his power, but this was the final blow: using the natural disaster.
Level 7 wizard Leoric was killed by an avalanche. It was impossible for humans to fight against nature if it was the power of a human.
“Neigh!” It was clearly the sound of a horse. It sounded like a horse but the sound was so loud it covered up the sound of the ground breaking. It was a roaring sound that reached the sky.
“Run. The wind that shakes up the world, Sleipnir!” When Kapitle ordered the wind, everyone then knew the cause of the roaring sound.
Kaboom.
The shock wave came out from the ground to shoot a ray of light to the sky.
The gigantic tomb burying Kapitle disappeared in a second to reveal a horse from the legends with eight legs in the light.
It was a mythical animal that Odin the King of Midgard rode, and it could run across the world over night. Its muscles were full with mythical power, and its eyes held thunder. It made a dragon look like a lizard beside it. Even a natural disaster was not strong enough to stop it.
The golden reins on the mouth of the mythical horse was the source of power that enabled Kapitle to cut the capital in half. Even the sun was not bright enough in the light of the mythical horse standing in the sky. It didn’t have any wings but stood on the air as if gravity was just a joke.
The bright and grand scene impressed Ereka even though it was Ereka’s enemy. “That is... the Golden Wise King’s ultimate skill.”
“Wow.” Even Eustasia couldn’t find a negative thing to say about it.
“It is overwhelming,” said Rachel in fear.
“We don’t have time to be scared. Everyone get ready.” And that was true.
“Run, my lovely horse.” As soon as Kapitle ordered it, Sleipnir ran toward them from the sky. It was only a running horse, but it created light and heat by heating up the air, and its supersonic speed made shockwaves by beating the air.
Its movement was a disaster itself. There was no army or wall that could stop it. The destructive power it made was even stronger than the ultimate skill of the Blood Ruler.
There was only one way to stop it. “Shield of all people! Aegis.” Ereka raised her weapon that she got from Athene and shouted. Golden light covered and protected everyone in Sungjin’s team. As long as she stood still, nobody in her team could get hurt.
But Kapitle didn’t care. A conqueror is supposed to step on the person who stands in his way. “Be gone!”
Ereka tried to stand against the disaster with her shield, but once the power hit her, half of her armor was destroyed. “Ugh.”
The horse made a turn in the sky to come back at her at full speed.
Although she was the knight with the strongest protection power, her power was not enough to stand against the mythical horse.
“Everyone, guard Ereka!” Rachel quickly cast her protecting and healing spell to help Ereka. “Protection of the Sea.” A protective layer covered Ereka. “Heal her by the blessing from the goddess.” The holy water of healing healed Ereka.
But it didn’t last long. The attack was faster than Rachel’s healing. The mythical horse stepped on Ereka without mercy to make everything Rachel did for Ereka meaningless. And then it made a third attack.
We can’t be defeated like this.
Sungjin’s team moved quickly.
“The Holy Sword of Heaven’s Will, Durandal!”
A supersonic mythical horse had to slow down a bit when it makes a U-turn, and the shooting stars chose that moment to attack the horse.
“That doesn’t work.” The mythical horse was faster than the shooting stars. Flying sword couldn’t keep up with its speed. Eustasia’s ultimate skill was useless in the face of the mythical horse.
“Wandering dessert.” Zakiya tied the mythical horse with her chains, although the chains were destroyed in a heartbeat from the power of the mythical horse, but that was the moment Eustasia needed to attack the horse.
Kaboom. A blow hit the mythical horse to stop its crazy run and attack it multiple times.
“The shield.” Kapitle wasn’t happy with the attack and drew a rune of protection.
But Sungjin’s team knew it was their last chance to fight their enemy, so they had to go all in.
“Protection of the Earth.” Rachel’s buff upgraded Eustasia’s attacking power.
“Light Ball.” Jenna’s attack supported the team.
“Ruin of Silence.”
Everyone put everything into the attack, and Durandal hit the horse with its final blow
“Neigh.” The Holy Sword lost its power and fell down on the ground, but the mythical horse’s head was cut, and it dragged Kapitle back to the ground.
“How dare you make me get down from my horse,” said Kapitle unpleasantly, but Sungjin’s team couldn’t answer. They were exhausted from using all of their powers, but they were also quite happy that they were able to stop him...
Eustasia called her sword back and held it in her hand. “Let’s attack him now. We can defeat him now.”
They used all the plans that Sungjin had prepared for the battlefield and all their skills. Although it wasn’t enough to kill Kapitle, they had been able to make it thus far. If they could have a combat fight, Kapitle would be out-numbered by them. If they could defeat Kapitle before he reloaded his skills, they would still have a chance.
“Yes.”
That was right. This was the perfect time to attack Kapitle all together.
It was the strong Golden Wise King, but, exhausted and without his skills, he was just an old man.
“Fly my sword.” Eustasia’s sword started to fly again.
“Wind, bless us with your force.” Rachel cast her last spell to cheer everyone up.
“Thunder, in my hands.” Holding Thor’s hammer in her hand, Jenna tried to squeeze out the remaining power that she had left.
“Here, my oath for protection.” Ereka’s golden spear shone under the sunlight.
“Haha. I will use my last force for you.” Zakiya started to distort the light around her.
And all five of them attacked Kapitle at once, only to make Kapitle laugh. “Haha. You made me use all my normal skills. I guess you are not too bad.”
When he complimented them with arrogance, Sungjin’s team froze.
“What?” Ereka’s eyes became big with surprise.
Only his normal skills? That means he didn’t use his ultimate skill?
The mythical horse... Sleipnir was not your ultimate skill? Eustasia froze as well. We used everything to stop one of his normal skills, not his ultimate skill?
“Huh?” It was so unexpected, even Sungjin was surprised. The power that cut the capital in half was not his ultimate skill? If that was not his ultimate skill, what could it possibly... Was it not Kapitle showing off but a trick to blind me?
Was it his plan to hide his real skill and show something else to distract Sungjin. But if the mythical horse was just a trick, how strong was the real power?
This is the worst case scenario. Sungjin’s eyes calmed and shone coldly. He had thought it was a possibility that Kapitle owned a strong power that could cancel all his plans, but he hoped that wasn’t true.
But Kapitle shouted out, as if it was the verdict, “To reward your hard work, let me show you my ultimate skill.”
The audience was in fear, not knowing what to expect. “The Golden Wise King’s real ultimate power...”
“Nobody has seen it before...”
“The mythical horse was not his ultimate skill...”
Kapitle reached his hand into the empty space in front of him. The sky became dark and a few bolts of lightning struck the ground. The air vibrated to welcome the great power and the invisible wave of the air was proving the power was greater than ever. Leaves fell down and the river made waves.
Finally, he held a stick without any edges. Branches came out from the stick and coiled the Golden Wise King’s arm, and his heroic power flowed into the stick... The stick began to show its runes and make a sharp point at one end. “Be destroyed.” It was an absolute order, not from a human but from somewhere beyond the sky.
“The Holy Order of God King, ―Gungnir!” The Golden Wise King unleashed the power of an ultimate secret treasure of the world; it was the holy spear that was the symbol of Odin, the king of Midgard. It was an absolute weapon. The legend said it had broken the magical sword of the human world simply by touching it. It was the strongest treasure of Odin. The strong power that came from it shook the ground like an ocean, creating a typhoon with the air.
Humans had no chance to fight against it but were destroyed, as the order of God.
Eustasia was hit by the power first, and her armor disappeared in a blink of an eye. The destructive wave wiped out everyone in Sungjin’s team. They had nowhere to hide. While feeling their bodies breaking down, everyone in Sungjin’s team felt awe and respect toward the divine power rather than despair. It was an impossible power that they couldn’t fight against; that was the holy order from the king of Midgard. Nobody could disobey such a power. Struggle would be meaningless against such a strong force.
Everything disappeared in a second, and the destructive wave swallowed everything. Shiny armor scattered into pieces and bodies tore apart. Only the golden shield was left rolling on the ground with its master, and the invincible protection was long gone.
Around God’s spear there was a blackhole that sucked everything around it. Everything, including the sky and the ground, was vacuumed into it. The air made another blast, but there was nothing in the area. There was no trace of Sungjin’s team.
And the Valkyrie announced without any emotion:
[Blue team annihilated. Red team won.]
