Became an Academy Spearman

885. [Western Front] – Nine Apostles Shariel (160)

***

The next morning.

On the Eastern Front, which was in the opposite direction from the Western Front, uneasy winds had been blowing since early morning.

Shuuung!

The bitter winter wind cut through the ground like a knife, and as the surface of the ground became rough, the officers and soldiers walking around the battlefield were all feeling a strange feeling.

… … Something is strange.

Although the number of apostles and monsters that have recently appeared has decreased significantly compared to before, the strange scent of blood in the uneasy wind blowing across the front lines stimulates their five senses and intuition.

And now.

In an unknown space untouched by humans, which should be considered the dark zone of the Eastern Front, signs of change were beginning to show that another great evil was about to emerge.

… … .

Slurp… … !

A gloomy purple fog covers a certain radius, as if mixing with the dark air currents of a dark area. And the purple airflow gradually gathered into one shape and took shape.

“… … ha.”

The woman with purple hair let out a deep breath and let out a small breath with an expressionless face. If anyone saw her, they would think she was just a very delicate woman.

However, the existing apostles who existed in the dark zone did not even dare to think of approaching her.

Everyone instinctively distanced themselves and erased their presence.

It was something I felt instinctively.

Difference in rank. A trace of absurd power… … .

Sreuk!

Afterwards, I gently grasped her hand and checked my body through the purple air currents surrounding her naked body.

“… … .”

Now that my presence was fully revealed at the front line of the empire, there was not even the slightest abnormality in my senses.

Additionally, the power building up in my body gave me an overwhelming desire to destroy that I had never felt before.

The total amount of absurd power sleeping in my body made me shiver involuntarily.

That was just for a moment.

Grumbling.

The woman who was smoothing her hair smiled crookedly.

“But in the end, even I am a puppet.”

Nine apostles.

[Shariel]

Although she understood her current situation, she was not the least bit happy about the ‘powers granted’.

I just realize the miserable reality.

In a short period of just one year, nine apostles died en masse.

Sekhmet died a few days ago, and even though he tried to seal Anastasia by using Bastet as a sacrifice, he failed.

Then the situation had to be seen as the worst of the worst.

But more than that.

I was rather afraid of ‘Eucilia’, another of the nine apostles.

“… … “You have deceived us for so long with the empty words of great precepts.”

I can’t even guess anymore.

What is the extent of Eusilia’s power? Now, we cannot even know the truth of whether or not they were trying to deceive us by saying that the past prophecy was wrong.

I was so scared that even the smallest things felt like Eusilia had intended.

Sreuk.

When I lightly grasped my hand, the rising power dominated this body as if it was about to explode.

“… … “Maybe twice as much?”

As a rough estimate, I thought it was twice the strength I had before.

I just accepted into my body the fragment of power that Eusilia gave me, and I was able to possess an absurd amount of power.

And I felt that this was part of Eusilia’s power.

‘It was true that he became stronger through the deaths of the other nine apostles.’

Over the past century, the nine Apostles have certainly spent time with each other, and in the meantime, knowingly or unknowingly, Eusilia’s darkness has been affecting all of us, the Nine Apostles.

Even if there was no direct contract, it was possible for Eusilia to share that power if she wanted to.

Just like now.

“… … .”

I looked at my hands in confusion and shook my head.

Knowing the truth did not change reality.

To the nine apostles, humans were enemies anyway, and to humans, the nine apostles were nothing more than enemies that had to be killed unconditionally.

The allies that were previously trusted can no longer be trusted, and the existing enemies are simply enemies.

“… … .”

I gently raise my head and take in the sight of a huge castle just beyond my field of vision.

I could see the long stretches of fortresses on the Eastern Front.

I also nodded as I faced the fortress that I would soon destroy.

‘It must be the main axis of the Eastern Front.’

Even from this far away, the traces of a huge presence emanating from a single person can be felt.

And that will most likely be the main axis.

As I felt it with my body, a strange laugh escaped me.

“How long will it be?”

I had no hesitation about my role to take in the future, as I was naturally excited to face it with my own strength.

I will act according to Eusilia’s wishes, but I am not against it either.

Now, even the few remaining nine apostles are effectively Eusilia’s puppets. Even though he was played into Eusilia’s hands, he has no desire to join the humans.

‘We gathered together to annihilate humans in the first place.’

So, I will do my assigned role.

Collapse of the Eastern Front would cause great disaster to the human empire.

In that sense, among the current empire’s main axes, the eastern front’s main axis had the biggest drawback.

“Aurel Brusante.”

Uniquely, that person does not try to significantly prevent aging through his or her own power.

It seems as if he is willing to accept the passage of time.

Even if you try to stop aging, it would be difficult to stop it, but you just accept it.

“That’s foolish.”

Even so, I began to narrow my eyes and make guesses.

A complete offensive that will collapse the Eastern Front, how much time will it take to prepare for it?

“One month… … No, it will take about 20 days.”

I will continue a complete ‘all-out offensive’ by placing all apostles and monsters in the dark zone under my control.

A huge current will form that will sweep away the humans on the Eastern Front, preventing them from even daring to properly resist.

I naturally nodded and a huge frame was formed.

At the same time, I suddenly felt a very faint presence coming from far away.

A trace of energy that no one can feel even if it is me.

But when I felt a very familiar energy, I burst out laughing.

“… … “Azazel, are you happy?”

The nine apostles tried to escape Eusilia’s influence early on, and not only did they escape, they turned to the side of humans.

Even though we clearly recognized each other’s presence, something about each other’s situation was just funny.

‘Who is right, me or Azazel?’

As Eusilia’s puppet, I have gained twice the power I had before.

Azazel was unable to fully maintain his original strength after being freed from Eusilia.

The end will definitely be the same.

However, I calmly nodded.

“Still, I won’t deny your choice.”

Azazel, who hated humans the most among us,

If you turn to the human side, there must be a good reason.

That’s something I can’t fathom.

And there must have been something special that even Eusilia didn’t know about.

***

Day 43 of the Western Front.

I was concentrating my consciousness.

My vision, which had previously been colored with gold, only focused on Anastasia standing in front of me.

Recently, as I continue to train with her every day, I thought that there are not many people who will accept my power without any hesitation.

Saaa… … !

That’s how much power my spear blade currently holds is completely different from before.

“… … .”

Development of openness.

The manifestation of a giant spiral using the principles of oppression.

And with such forces in place, I am finally ready to develop my skills.

And that too with all my might.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was a full preparation to push the limits.

“Suranaseonchang (修羅螺線槍)!”

In order to strongly embody the principles of the skill, the name of the first formula was mentioned without any explanation. As soon as the voice that rang like that gathered my consciousness, a huge change appeared.

Clap la la la rock… … !”

The two giant spirals rotate furiously, showing a completely different change from previous skill expressions.

Originally, it should contain a huge spiral air current and form a storm-like air current.

However, now that the ‘giant spiral’ is already a spiral of hundreds of air currents endlessly compressed, when its power is further amplified, a completely different change appears.

“… … .”

As I stared blankly at the blade of my spear, the change became even clearer.

The golden spear blade seemed to me to be spinning endlessly. It’s just shaking around with the spear blade wrapped around it at a speed that’s hard to understand.

‘This is…’ … .’

Gulp.

Even as I swallowed my saliva, for a moment I felt like I was captivated by the sight of that power.

The two giant spirals completely wrapped around the blade of the spear and did not show any flashy or distinct changes on the outside. It formed a smaller air current than before and became completely one with the spear blade.

however.

The power contained in this spear was hundreds of times greater than the small air current that appeared on the outside.

“… … Major Anastasia.”

“are you okay.”

Before I could say anything more, she gave me a calm answer.

So, for a moment, I looked at Anastasia and nodded blankly.

‘Even this power.’

Because she can handle it.

Maybe it was natural, but I didn’t feel it was natural at all.

Slurp.

Even as I shifted my stance holding the spear, a laugh escaped me.

‘Because the air current only swirls within the window blade.’

There is greater freedom in moving the window.

Now, unnecessary spiral air currents no longer disturb the surrounding atmosphere. And I never threw a spear again.

“… … .”

He changed his grip on the spear and kicked the ground.

Xu Yuung… !

As the spiral air current surrounding my body naturally accelerated its movement, it began to move around the wide training room.

I now had to acquire a greater practical sense.

Rather than just pushing through with force, thinking about the nine apostles, I have to raise my level even higher than I am now.

***

Shashashashashashak… … !

Afterimages made of gold appear countless times inside the training room and quickly disappear.

And Anastasia, who noticed Han Cheon-seong calmly circling around her, watched calmly.

‘You chose the technique on your own.’

Until today, if I had shown my linear power in the form of a javelin, I might have been a little disappointed in Han Tiansheng.

No matter what force it is, it is easy to deal with it if it hits you head-on, and a force that is easy to deal with is less destructive in itself.

Considering that high-ranking apostles were generally intelligent, variables such as technique were naturally more of a necessity rather than an option.

Shoo!

Then, as the golden spear embroidered the space in the blind spot, I relaxed my grip on the sword.

Kwaaang! Damn it!!

Amidst the loud noise that felt like the space was exploding, I could see the ice wall bursting into pieces.

‘More than twice as much.’

And I immediately grasped the power contained in that spear.

… … Han Cheon-seong’s spear, with the skill fully deployed, shows a power that easily doubles the destructive power shown before.

Even just looking at the power of focusing on one point, it was such a destructive force that almost no one could match it at the same level.

Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo… … !

And as it moves through space, strange noises and atmosphere endlessly erupt from the spear blades that are thrust out. Moreover, I saw it clearly in my eyes every time.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

The ice wall that naturally develops to protect me repeatedly appears and disappears for a moment. And with that alone, he blocks Han Cheon-seong’s spear and cancels out his power.

And each time, the strength of the ice wall was gradually increasing.

This was proof that Han Cheonseong was continuously increasing the destructive power of his spear.

Then, in an instant, his posture changed and he hurled a spear out of the air.

“… … .”

I felt it intuitively at that moment.

‘It will be different.’

The power contained in that window will be different from before.

Slurp… !

It was the moment when the ice wall that appeared to protect me suddenly strengthened in strength.

“Sura Ilyeolpa (修羅一裂破)!”

The sound that rang out just before the spear touched the ice wall became the starting point.

Blah blah blah!!

The wind that erupted from the spear blade began to pound the ice wall like crazy.

“… … !”

And while I was watching it, I couldn’t help but be momentarily surprised.

‘With just air currents… … ?’

It displays a strange destructive power that cuts through the ice wall several times.

And I immediately realized the cause of the feeling of heterogeneity.

Saaah!

A barrage of crazy, spiraling winds exploded from the window that stopped in the air just before reaching the ice wall.

… … And because each of the spiral air currents was extremely sharp, like a blade, it was hitting the ice wall dozens or hundreds of times.

And through the storm, the spear finally hit the ice wall.

Kwaaang!!!

Numerous cracks appeared in the ice wall, which had greatly increased in strength, and it shattered at the same time.

‘under.’

I found it absurd even when I saw it.

A skill can be said to be the identity of a characteristic and a special power that allows a transcendent power that cannot be realized originally to be realized in reality.

however. To me, the power of Han Tian-seong’s skills seemed to be evolving on their own.

He created a change in his nature called the Giant Spiral, and based on that nature, he overwhelmingly increased the skill’s destructive power.

ㅡㅡㅡ!

The result could be said to be a golden spear rushing through the ice wall.
