Chapter 397: Star, Arcadia (9)
The citizens hid inside their houses as a street fight broke out on the narrow road that connected the plaza to the outskirts of Rabralta City.
Get them!
Dont let them escape!
The captains barked orders at their soldiers, who responded quickly in turn. Many of them were knights and had the supernatural ability to convert mana into Aura, making them strong enough to stop even twenty citizens from overpowering them. However, even they were on high alert. They had no idea what was happening, but they were pursuing an inquisitor of the Ursa Major Order, the Guardian of which was a famous Martial Celestial.
Halt! Guns!
The soldiers in front lined up, pulled out their magical guns from their backs, and aimed at Chang-Sun and the death row convicts. Their guns had long barrels similar to Earths sixteenth and nineteenth-century muskets and had various magical formulas carved inside them. With each pull of the trigger, the soldiers fired magical bullets so destructive that they were considered artifacts that could threaten even knights on battlefields. Combining those with the guns long attack range, they were no different from death reapers for ordinary people.
As Bixter ran beside Chang-Sun, Hiyan, who was in his arms, pointed behind them. M-Mister!
The boy was happy, having believed that he could continue living with his father and the villagers, but the Rabralta City Army pursuing them frightened him.
Among various types of soldiers in Arcadia, those with magical guns were notorious for being the trickiest to deal with. Witnessing around two hundred of those people aiming their guns at him and the others instilled Hiyan with indescribable terror.
Hiyan quickly turned to look at Chang-Sun. The latter glanced back, then quietly chuckled. Those guns remind me of the old days.
He was quite familiar with their weaponry.
Fire!
On the captains orders, the soldiers unleashed a volley, the thunderous gunshots reverberating throughout the area.
Bang, bang, bang!
As Paul, Bixter, and the other death row convicts turned pale, Chang-Sun quickly drew runes in the air.
Paaah!
[A Protection Rune has been activated!]
A pool of light flashed, creating a translucent barrier from above Chang-Sun and the others heads. The magical bullets helplessly ricocheted off the barrier as a thick, burning smell spread.
Huh?
H-how is this possible?
They couldnt believe their own eyes. Paul and the other convicts jaws dropped to the ground, and Bixter chuckled dumbfoundedly. Having been a decurion of the Rabralta City, Bixter was well aware that one magical bullet was comparable to low-class War Mages magic spells. Nevertheless, the barrier around them blocked the bullets with ease even though it wasnt a magic spell that an Ursa Major priest could use.
Only a Spellcraft Creator above at least Class 5 should be able to do this! Bixter thought. Spellcraft Creator was a title given to wizards who had gone above using systemized magic and started pioneering their own field of magic. Hence, Bixter couldnt help but be curious about the thin-mustached mans real identity.
Recalling his greenhorn days, Chang-Sun found their reaction funny. Its too soon to be surprised.
[An Explosion Rune has been activated!]
[An Explosion Rune has been activated!]
Chang-Sun used new runes, causing the ground where the soldiers were standing to explode.
Boom, boom, boom!
Woosh, swish, swoosh!
Arrrghhh! Somebody put this fire out!
Its not going out! Not going out! Urrrrghhh!
The soldiers formation swiftly broke down. Those who unluckily got caught up in the explosions fell to the ground, swallowed by the resulting fire, and those who managed to get away couldnt approach them or the escapees any further. The captains horses neighed and ran wild, causing them to lose their balance and fall off from their mounts.
Ma-magic?
I-Ive never seen a magic spell being activated like this.
Only the four knights were relatively unscathed, having made their horses speed up in time.
Isnt he an inquisitor of Ursa Major? How can he use this kind of heretic craft?
Heretic craft. Arcadia had extremely advanced magic, and the commonly used ones were derived from or related to the Star Order. Anything that wasnt part of the existing magic system was classified as heretic crafts. Hence, they couldnt help but be surprised when a priest from the Star Order used one.
Boooom!
[A part of your Kings Treasury has been opened!]
Through a narrow spatial gap, Hiyan saw [Trollsverd]. The monster slayer sword was shining brilliantly.
Y-yes! Thats it! Hiyan expressed his surprise by clapping.
[Trollsverd] is the reason why Im linked with this child, Chang-Sun thought.
Relics sent down to the by a Celestial occasionally created their own on their owners behalf. After all, relics themselves were miracles for mortals. After going through Soul Degradation, Chang-Sun lost all the weapons in his [Omni-Weapon Chest]. Hence, he didnt find it strange that his weapons built their own . [Trollsverd] was also the main component of [Gungnir], making it only even more natural for it to have its own .
Without realizing it, Chang-Sun had built an of his own in Arcadia.
My ... It doesnt sound bad, Chang-Sun thought.
Chang-Suns ultimate goal in Arcadia had always been to steal this place from since it was the source of their Faith. The creation of a new could endanger the entire Star Order.
On the other hand, Paul and the others jaws dropped to the ground. Seeing the relic that symbolized their village for generations finally made them believe Chang-Sun.
A-are you really the hero? Paul asked after swallowing down his saliva, his voice quivering.
He couldnt help but feel surprised. A random folktale that they passed down in the village turned out to be true.
Instead of answering Paul, Chang-Sun inquired, Youve all mentioned a hero and Demon King or something. What in the world are those supposed to be about?
Ah, thats! Paul told him the folktale, worried that a part of it would upset him.
* * *
That was how its been passing down? I never could have imagined this. Chang-Sun chuckled after listening to the whole folktale.
The Demon King in the story was actually Hippocampus[1], who was the first Chang-Sun sent plummeting when he achieved for the first time. Although Hippocampus was not one of the Eighty-Eight Star Signs, he was still part of and reigned Eos with terror. Some time ago, he attempted to steal the that Chang-Sun had, so Chang-Sun fought back and defeated him. The incident seemed to have left a strong impression on the villagers.
Its embarrassing.
Hearing his accomplishments from long ago in the form of folklore made Chang-Sun cringe since he still strongly identified as a human. The new details that were added and changed over time to what actually happened only made it even more cringe. Nevertheless, he didnt bother to point it out because there was no reason to break their long-time belief. Ever-changing occasionally elevated ones Divine Class anyway.
[The Celestial Divine Twilight has gained more followers in the Server Arcadia!]
[Current followers: 14.]
[Witnessing your incarnation on this land with their own eyes has maximized your followers Faith!]
[Your followers believe that you will lead them to a haven.]
[Many of your prospective followers are being discriminated against and persecuted. They are waiting for salvation.]
[Gather the followers who are being persecuted, guide them to a new world, and establish an .]
Ah, umm Dear LordSir Hero Hiyan trailed off, trying to find the right way to address him.
Just call me brother, Chang-Sun said, patting Hiyans head.
When the child stared at him because he was unsure if he could do that, Chang-Sun just nodded.
Okay, brother! Hiyans face brightened up.
Paul and Bixter were fidgety, but Chang-Sun and Hiyan paid no attention to them. Chang-Sun just hoped that his bubbly follower would continue to stay this way.
Brother, youre going to save our village, right? Hiyan asked, his voice filled with hope.
Pauls and the others eyes wandered, unable to say anything.
Looking at them, Chang-Sun readily nodded. Of course, salvation is a gods duty.
Click!
Chang-Sun pulled out his iron mask from his [Kings Treasury] and put it on. He believed it would be enough to make up for this damn bodys inadequacies.
Ill get rid of those cumbersome chasers first, Chang-Sun continued.
Sensing a new group of pursuers tracking them down from not so far away, he realized it would only complicate things if he didnt stop them and the lord of Rabralta City now.
Underneath his mask, Chang-Sun smirked. Burning down their regional government castle or one of the orders churches should stop their pursuit.
