I was Reincarnated While Trying to Climb the Mountain Chapter 345

Episode 345

Episode 345

Duke Furion looked at the scene unfolding before his eyes with a devastated face.

It wasn’t a majestic and flashy battle on the outside, but the forces that could destroy a city were firing rampantly from all directions.

I didn’t even dare to think about jumping in there.

A feeling of extreme helplessness took over my entire body.

Kuuk.

My fists tightened and my nails dug into my palms. There is a wound and blood is flowing down. The ground is soaked with blood. However, Duke Furion could not take his eyes off the scene in front of him, as if he did not even know that fact.

Next to helplessness, what dominated him was despair.

‘It doesn’t do anything.’

Duke Furion is a war hero. However, this does not mean that he has won all wars and battles. He experienced countless defeats as well as the number of wars and battles he won.

Through that experience, he became the current Duke of Furion.

However, at this moment, he was neither a grand master nor a war hero, but just a weak human being.

Just when I was about to fall to the depths of despair, I felt a small presence behind me. Duke Furion reflexively looked back and found Erdin struggling to get up.

“you… … ?”

Duke Furion trailed off. However, Erdin clearly understood the non-continuing words. He nodded slightly and grabbed his spear.

It wasn’t just Erdin.

Jeanne, Lorraine, and Count Schrombel also rose and took up arms. I could feel their will to fight until the end.

Duke Furion tried to dissuade them. They say he regained his strength after a short rest, but it was really only partially.

‘If the perfect condition was 100, now it is 15…’ … ‘You’re probably not even ten, but you’re trying to fight like that?’

Duke Furion did not understand them.

I couldn’t believe how someone could have that kind of will against enemies they could never defeat. It was incomprehensible. That’s why I was afraid. But I soon realized.

‘It was like that back then too.’

He experienced countless defeats before being called a war hero.

The defeat was not uneventful.

It was very painful. And her heart ached. For a long time, I suffered from the guilt of not being able to save the soldiers and send them back.

I was scared that something like that would happen again.

‘I thought that wouldn’t happen anymore.’

That was why I felt fear from them.

Because it’s like seeing yourself in the past.

Just as Duke Furion was biting his lip, a cocky voice came from behind him.

“Inspiration. What should I do?”

“… … !”

When I turned around, a man with sky-blue hair and a blood-covered face was standing there, waving his sword.

‘Simur Khan.’

Duke Furion knew the man’s name. He was called the swordsman of the Eastern Continent. Finally, he tilts his head and says.

“If you’re not going to fight, stay in the back. “Don’t block the road in an inconvenient way.”

“… … .”

“Oh, it’s so hard. “Aren’t you going to die like this?”

Simur Khan grumbles as he walks, dragging his weapon on the ground. He seemed to have injured his leg during the fight and was even limping.

Duke Furion spoke to his back.

“I might really die.”

“… … ? Who doesn’t know that? “Didn’t you come here knowing that?”

A voice that comes back as if snorting.

Afterwards, someone speaks again.

“I came prepared to die. we are.”

“Hey. “You say something wonderful about bird heads.”

“Shut up you dirty bitch.”

“Want me to tell you who’s going to get there before me?”

Duke Levitain and Simur Khan growled at each other like beasts. However, the steps were heading toward the four people ahead (Erdin, Jeanne, Lorraine, and Count Schrombel).

Duke Furion, who stared blankly at their backs for a moment, burst into laughter that was both empty and cheerful, and raised his sword.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid of death.

If you ask me if I can win, I will shake my head.

‘But I have to go.’

I did not come here to gain brilliant glory, to be praised by descendants, or to be remembered by someone as a great person.

What they say is right.

I came prepared to die.

Even if they were to be plucked, trampled, wither, and die like flowers on the roadside, they came to save the dying land for future generations and for precious people to live with smiles in the future.

Duke Furion said as he ran ahead of Erdin.

“I will take the lead.”

“The Duke?”

“Still, out of all of these, aren’t I the strongest? “I’m sure it will last at least once.”

It means that you become a shield that opens the way.

“… … all right.”

Erdin frowned but did not object.

Everyone is exhausted.

Also, I thought that it would be no different if someone tried to become a shield and open the way in front of that powerful force of heaven and earth.

At that moment, when everyone was running with such desperate determination, the sky turned pitch black and lightning began to strike.

I thought that God and the devil might have sensed this and wanted to eliminate them before they got in the way, but to my surprise, the thunderbolts fell towards God and the devil.

The Quagga River!

* * *

[Who are you!]

[Who dares disturb us?!]

[Come out now… … Ah!]

A god who was expressing his anger towards the being who had struck the thunderbolt had his body split in two by Xeron’s sword. After that, Behemoth’s family bit the god’s body and tore it into pieces.

It was already a proven fact that Xeron’s power was effective against astral beings. However, even though the power unleashed by unstable power did not work, the number of gods and demons was too great.

Gradually, the flow of power adapted to Middle Earth and began to unleash true power.

In such a situation, a powerful thunderbolt fell.

Also towards God and the devil.

‘I don’t know who did it, but it’s a good opportunity for me.’

Every time a god or demon was cut down, the divinity that flowed from their bodies was absorbed by Xeron, gradually becoming stronger.

In times like this, we need to get rid of at least one more guy.

Jeron raised the power of Godslaughter from his sword. At the same time, the divinity wrapped around the body like a self-defense device, blocking the power of gods and demons.

Tadat!

Unfolding his magic, he quickly rushed forward and cut the devil’s waist in half, which had goat horns on both ends of its forehead. Divinity flows and the demon screams. However, his scream did not last until the end and his head was split open.

[What is Solar doing!]

[Are you trying to protect your own safety by hiding behind us and using us as scapegoats?]

Those who cursed Solar, who used other gods and demons as shields to hide behind and stabilize her power, appeared. But Solar ignored their words. Because she just had to hold on a little longer.

However, Solar’s plan was foiled.

As soon as the lightning stopped falling from the sky, the purple tower that connected Middle Earth and Astral began to collapse.

[…] … !]

Solar was so surprised that she couldn’t even get her thoughts out.

The connecting medium that connects Middle Earth and Astral cannot be easily destroyed, and was the source of the powerful curse ‘death’.

Also, it was not made of materials that exist in Middle Earth, but was formed by gathering and solidifying the divinity that flowed from astral beings. Removing it was something that only beings in the astral could do.

At that moment, a person passed through my mind. Although only half of them belong to Astral, they have been living in Middle Earth for a long time.

He fulfilled his mission as the protector of Middle-earth until the end, and at some point, he was the one who caused a lot of chaos to hasten the end.

[no way… … Einhortaha?]

As Solar muttered his name, a huge shadow covered the ground.

[…] … !]

Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky. The old race, with only bones and skin remaining, spread their large wings and took flight.

The moment the golden eyes of the old race turned to the ground, a huge pillar of flame rose up.

Originally, it was a magic that would not have worked on gods and demons at all. However, as the medium connecting Middle Earth and Astral was destroyed, the power that made up the bodies of gods and demons became unstable, and their bodies were materialized to force them to adapt to the material world called Middle Earth.

“Kwaaaak!”

Pillars of flame burned the beings who were gods and demons. The power and divinity that were naturally used like part of the body did not manifest as they intended, and some dead beings appeared when their bodies exploded while being forcibly pulled up.

Xeron was also swept away by the pillar of flame, but unlike gods and demons, he belonged to Middle Earth, so there was no change. So she was able to block the flame pillar without difficulty.

I thought about it for a moment, but I saved Behemoth.

First of all, we are allies now.

“Kkkkkk! Thank you. “Thanks to you, I didn’t end up in such a funny situation.”

“When I think about what’s going on in the North Continent, I want to throw it over there.”

“I understand that men who dwell on the past are not popular with women, right?”

“If you make a fuss, they’ll throw it over there?”

“Haha! That would be fun too.”

Jeron sighed and shook his head.

They say they have never seen a normal astral being, but Behemoth was much more than that. To put it a little harshly, he was a complete idiot. I really wanted to beat him up, but that wasn’t the situation.

‘Consider yourself lucky.’

Gods and demons were burned to death by the magic of the old race, and their divinity was sucked somewhere. It was in the direction of the purple tower. As I channeled my energy into my eyes, I saw Einhortaha standing in front of the collapsed purple tower enlarged. He was smiling with satisfaction.

‘Have you been calculating up to this point?’

It was suspicious that he kept not showing up. But I still didn’t understand that guy.

I couldn’t figure out the intention behind creating this situation.

‘huh?’

Now that I think about it, there was a guy who worked with Einhortaha.

Right next to it too.

“hey. “What is Einhortaha planning?”

“I do not know either.”

“… … .”

Jeron could barely hold back the swearing that rose up in his throat.

But Behemoth’s words were not over yet.

“But there is speculation.”

“what is that?”

“Astral destruction.”

Jeron’s eyes narrowed. Considering what he had done so far, it seemed like he was trying to destroy Middle Earth, not Astral. But he could not ignore Behemoth’s words. This is because Behemoth was the only being that Zeron knew of that acted according to Einhortaha’s will.

“Tell me in detail.”

“Astral originally belonged to Middle Earth. To be exact, part of it… … “To paraphrase Middle Earth, it was one continent.”

“… … !”

Shocking words flowed from Behemoth’s mouth.

“Kalopa Continent.”

The Kalopa Continent, called the barbarian land, was once one with the Marhen Continent a long time ago. The snowy mountain that divided the border also did not exist.

So why has it changed so much?

The answer to that question is Behemoth, which was already mentioned earlier.

Of course, the details have not been said yet.

“Astral was the continent of Calopa?”

“Kkkkkk. To be exact, it is part of the Kalopa continent. As a result, Middle Earth and Astral were separated into different planes, causing a huge tectonic shift. “It became an opportunity to divide the Marhen Continent and the Kalopa Continent into completely different continents.”

“Are you talking about the tectonic shift that occurred 2,000 years ago?”

“right. “It happened exactly 2651 years ago.”

Jeron wanted to hear the details, but was sad that he didn’t have time to do so.

Behemoth seemed to have known how Jeron felt, and after laughing and groaning like a dog that was tired of pooping, he put the knowledge in his head into his power and handed it over.

It would have been an easy task before the connecting medium between Middle Earth and Astral was destroyed, but now even such simple tasks have become difficult.

“If you absorb this, you will know the whole truth.”

“You probably didn’t do anything strange, right?”

“I would die without you. “I have no intention of living for a long time, but you can rest assured that I have no intention of dying here today.”

Jeron accepted the power of Behemoth’s knowledge. Then, knowledge slowly began to dawn on him, filling his mind as if he had known it from the beginning.

‘So that’s what happened.’

Although the records remaining on the continent are not completely accurate, they are somewhat accurate.

Long ago, beings from Astral left Middle Earth and made part of the land they lived on into the foundation of a new world.

As a result, the continent, which was once one, was divided into the Marhen Continent and the Calopa Continent with a huge tectonic shift, and was divided into the material world, Middle Earth, and the mental world, Astral.

The continent of Calopa is a remnant left behind by the separation of Middle Earth and Astral.

‘And there were those who could not forget the glory of the mythical era and lived in the past. Also, not all astral beings left the continent.’

I wasn’t talking about monsters that were descendants of witches or giants.

There were beings from the mythical era who wanted to remain and live in Middle Earth. It was referring to them.

However, as the astral beings left, the material world and the mental world became distinct, and mortals lost the possibility of transcendence.

Mortals with short lives dreamed of eternal life like the astral beings and wanted to be like them. However, when that possibility was lost, they hunted those who had not left Middle Earth.

Even though it ended in failure. But they could not give up their desire. They kidnapped a young and weak god and dissected his being. Analyzed to obtain divinity. By the time such a cruel act was noticed and found, it was already too late. The young and weak god disappeared.

The astral beings remaining in Middle Earth became angry and pleaded with the gods to leave this land.

Begged for the destruction of foolish and cruel mortals.

This is how the brilliant civilization came to an end.

“… … So the mythical era has come to an end.”
