The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 744

Episode 744: A decision must be made. (1)

Kwakjik!

Osval, who had hit the orc’s head with a huge hammer, smirked.

“Khuh! Man Osval! Today, you are proving what a man is!”

Osval was in a very good mood right now. It seemed that the war would end in their victory.

Safety was guaranteed, and they would win and gain fame. What could be better? In addition,

all the elves surrounding them were beautiful.

Osval’s nose flared. Since he was doing so well, the elves would definitely show interest in him.

‘Man Osval! You are finally getting married! And to a beautiful elf at that! I will boldly go forward today!’

With his firm resolve, he immediately cast a glance at the elf who was fighting next to him.

“Beautiful lady. Would you like to have a cup of tea with me after the battle? I am the invincible man Osval.”

The expression on the ‘male’ elf’s face immediately rotted as he received Osval’s glance. He had personally experienced the intense emotions that humans felt.

Still, he could not get angry at the person who had come to help him. The elf respected the other person’s taste and left without saying a word.

Osval smiled at the elf.

“Phew! How embarrassing. Was I too brave? After all, courage wins the beautiful woman! Phew huh huh huh!”

In any case, he was happy.

The situation was completely tilted toward the elf’s side, enough for Osval to be able to flirt so leisurely.

The high priests of the Salvation Church became anxious. Munareph kept looking around the battlefield and gnashed his teeth.

‘That human! I should have caught and killed him back then!’

All the warlocks were dead. The situation had completely reversed.

I knew he was strong, but I didn’t know it would be this bad. He hadn’t used his full strength even then.

However, hope was not lost yet. The strength that human had just shown was incredible. No matter how strong he was, he would have been too tired to move if he had used that much strength.

‘We have to kill that guy to change the mood!’

If the summoner is killed, the Death Knights will disappear. If that happens, the orcs will regain their ability to fight the elves.

Munaref tried to pull away right away. However, the situation did not go as he had planned.

“Where are you going?”

Quaaang!

Two elven elders persistently blocked Munaref’s path.

They also knew the current situation well. They had to protect the humans who came to help them. That was the only way they could win the war.

At first, the elven elders had been captured by the priests of the Salvation Church, but now, on the contrary, the priests of the Salvation Church had been captured by the elven elders.

Quaaang! Quaaang! Quaaang!

The elven elders spared no effort in pushing the priests. Even though the priests were stronger than the elven elders, they were flustered and began to fall behind.

The priests became increasingly anxious. If this situation continued, not only would they lose the war, but their own lives would be in danger.

Munaref was especially so.

‘We have to create an opportunity for that, that person, to move… … .’

Right now, a very important person from the church had come out to deal with the elven chieftain.

However, if the war continued like this, it would be disadvantageous for him. Munaref began to think of a way while sweating profusely.

‘There’s no choice. Even if it means sacrificing a few people…’

When Munaref made up his mind and was about to move,

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

A tremendous roar rang out. Even the elven elders and priests of the Salvation Church who had reached superhuman levels were shaken by the aftereffects of the power.

The heat of the battlefield died down in an instant. Everyone looked at the epicenter of the roar with surprised expressions.

Darkness was billowing in the high sky. There was a large hole in the center of the darkness, as if something had pierced it.

Paaaaah… …

The darkness that had swirled like a whirlpool soon took the form of a person.

It was a middle-aged man with a cold expression wearing black robes like the other priests.

The only difference was that even though he was still, the black fog was constantly billowing and enveloping his body.

The battlefield was silent. The one who suddenly appeared and floated in the air without saying a word, his mere presence radiated an overwhelming aura.

Jisel’s eyes narrowed as she confirmed the person.

‘That guy… … ‘

I’ve seen it in my dreams. Four priests who were stronger than any other figure in the Salvation Church.

Their power was enough to change the situation on the battlefield alone. Even Jisel, who had mastered magic and advanced to a higher level, would have had difficulty dealing with him if it weren’t for his own body.

‘Apostle.’

One of the four apostles who served the enemy had come here.

The apostle stared down at Jisel. From his perspective, Jisel was the worst saboteur who ruined this war.

He wanted to kill him right away, but he didn’t have the luxury of using his power on him right now.

Giselle also did not avoid the Apostle’s gaze. His lips twisted.

‘I want to fight him once, but… … .’

Unfortunately, he had little strength left. No, in fact, even with Astion’s body in peak condition, it would be difficult to win.

However, his competitive spirit kept making his body shake.

His motto was that you have to fight to know.

Still, he had to endure. This fight was not his fight. He had to remain calm.

There was someone else who could face the Apostle here and now.

“Everyone, step back.”

Iraniel’s soft voice echoed throughout the battlefield. Even though the elves had the upper hand, they meekly retreated when they saw the Apostle.

Kreuk… … .

The orcs only growled and did not chase the elves. They also knew how terrifying the Apostle was.

The Yulian mercenary group, who had been watching blankly, also took a quick look and followed the elves.

Paaaaah… … .

Giselle also gathered the Death Knights and retreated. There wasn’t much time left to maintain it anyway.

As both sides retreated, a huge space was created in the battlefield.

Step. Step. Step.

Iraniel slowly walked toward that space.

With each step Iraniel took, buds sprouted from the ground and vines began to rise up and wrap around her body.

Dddddddddd… … .

The vines transformed into armor and fitted Iraniel’s body perfectly. Soon, her face was also covered by a wooden helmet, and deer antlers sprouted from her head.

Dddddddd!

Green light emitted from her eyes and from various parts of her armor.

The green light enveloped her body, and the spirits followed her, creating strong winds.

Iraniel looked at the apostle and asked.

“I am Iraniel, the one who holds the breath of the World Tree, born when the first leaf of the World Tree falls and living forever with the forest, the great chieftain of the elves. The darkness that has come here, tell me your name.”

The apostle was silent for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.

“I am the hand that prepares the coming of the black revelation, the one who announces the covenant, the one who receives His third blessing and makes his will known widely, the prophet Rahamod.”

Rahamod, who answered, held out his hand with an expressionless face.

At the same time, Iraniel’s steps became lighter and lighter. Before she knew it, her body had become a ray of light and shot out toward Rahamod.

Kwaaaaang!

The sound of a strong collision rang out, and the two bodies shook. However, neither of them retreated an inch.

Iraniel immediately swung her blade like lightning and cut Rahamod’s side.

Despite the split in her body, Rahamod did not bleed. Instead, darkness rose from the gap like black smoke and wrapped around her arm.

Crunch!

The darkness grabbed Iraniel’s arm tightly and began to twist it. She tried to pull her arm away quickly, but it did not come off easily.

Then Iraniel grabbed Rahamod’s face tightly with his other hand.

Thud!

“He won’t die until he loses all his strength.”

“…….”

Paang!

She descended and slammed Rahamod’s head into the ground.

Kwaaaaang!

The ground shattered and Rahamod’s head was deeply embedded. It was an attack that would have killed even a superhuman instantly.

However, Rahamod did not die. Instead, he suddenly stood up and attacked Iraniel, emitting black energy.

Kwaaquaquaaquabang!

In an instant, hundreds of black energy lines struck Iraniel’s body. She stepped back and stretched out her hand.

Kuuung!

The rock spirit broke the ground and rose up. Giant stone pillars rushed toward Rahamod.

When Rahamod swung his hand, countless black energy rose from under his feet, grabbing, pulling, and breaking the stone pillars.

Dozens of blades of wind burst from Iraniel’s fingertips. They tore through the air and flew toward Rahamod.

Rahamod’s body shook several times. Darkness enveloped him, blocking the flying blades.

The darkness that blocked the blades spun around like a whirlwind and soon turned into a sharp spear tip and shot towards Iraniel.

Kwaang!

Iraniel’s body was pushed back. However, she stepped forward again as if nothing had happened, releasing all her energy.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!

The two clashed head-on without an inch of hesitation. They neither dodged nor retreated.

A clash of pure power. There was only the will to overwhelm and defeat their opponent.

With every blow filled with their energy, the ground split and the air tore. Black fog and green energy clashed hundreds, thousands of times, enveloping the two people’s bodies.

The spirits’ breath and darkness intertwined and intersected endlessly. The storm of energy the two people emitted continued to engulf all around.

Iraniel’s armor was broken and ruined here and there. Rahamud’s clothes were also torn here and there, and black fog was continuously leaking out through the gaps.

Kwaaaaang!

Suddenly, a huge bow appeared in Iraniel’s hand as she opened the distance. The surrounding nature quietly held its breath as if the spirits were reacting.

As she pulled the bowstring, an enormous energy began to gather.

At the same time, darkness swirled at Rahamud’s fingertips.

The shape that stretched out from it was a strangely twisted black spear made entirely of his energy.

Grasp!

The arrow of light Iraniel shot flew toward Rahamud. Rahamud threw the spear with a force like a storm.

Soon, the arrow of light and the spear of darkness collided.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The sky split open, the winds raged, and everything in the battlefield was distorted. A blinding flash of light spread out, and the following explosion shook the earth.

Light and darkness intertwined to create a whirlpool, and a huge storm erupted from its center.

“Ugh…….”

Both of them staggered as they received the intense shockwave with their bodies. However, as if nothing had happened, their eyes lit up and they shot out at each other again.

Kwaaaaang!

The fight between the two began again. The two attacked each other fiercely.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaaaaang!

Everyone on the battlefield watched the two fighting, their minds blank.

Even superhumans couldn’t fight like this. It was a fight that could truly be described as a proxy war between gods.

The members of the Yulien mercenary corps were particularly shocked.

“Wow, wow……. How can someone fight like that?”

“How strong do you have to be to have that kind of strength?”

“I can’t believe it even when I see it……”

Osval muttered as he glanced at Giselle.

“Osval, you’re a man. I’ve never seen anyone stronger than you, hyung.”

Then, Jiselle snorted and said,

“If I were my original body, I would be stronger than that.”

“……Yes.”

Everyone nodded, but they didn’t believe it. They knew Jiselle was strong, but the fight they were seeing now was on a completely different level.

Jiselle tried not to make excuses. They couldn’t believe it because they had never seen her give it her all to one person.

‘If we fight one-on-one, I’ll win.’

Jiselle had always lived with that mindset. She had actually proven it by catching Aidan.

It would be ugly to make excuses, so she just twitched her lips and endured it.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!

The fight seemed like it would never end. However, Jiselle subtly realized that Iraniel had the upper hand.

‘Am I going to eliminate one of the apostles here?’

If she lost strength, it wouldn’t be easy to escape. It would be different from the past, but that wasn’t bad either.

The fewer strong members of the Salvation Church, the safer the allies became.

However, Jiselle wasn’t at ease. The Salvation Church is a group of guys who do all sorts of things. It was important not to let your guard down when dealing with them.

Jiselle, who had been watching the fight, suddenly hardened her expression.

‘As expected… …!’

Jiselle grabbed the staff tightly and ran out. As he ran

, what he saw

was the sight of four high priests exploding their own bodies.

Kwaaaaaaaah!
