LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 156
156. Expansion of the Apostles (2)
Oh my god!
It was an air battle.
The battle that had been going on with sonic booms being fired indiscriminately came to a halt in an instant.
Both came to a conclusion.
If we continue to exchange normal attacks, it will be a battle that will never end.
Kesylvia, who still had both feet in the air, was furious.
human being.
And it’s not like he’s some supernatural god over there. His apostle is fighting on par with him.
My pride was seriously damaged.
Kesylvia strengthened the energy spread throughout her body even more intensely.
The red energy on Kesilvia’s hands and feet once again shone as fiercely as the sun.
Open your mind.
Although they are not demigods, their imagery, the ＜Proclamation of Paradise＞, was sufficiently imitated.
The paradise of Kesylvia was closer to transcending the limits of the flesh than to the proclamation of the realm.
“Seogwangwolmoo (Crazy Moon Dance).”
Red veins protruded thickly along the muscle lines all over Kesilvia’s body.
Drumroll!
The pupils were darkened.
The massive body of Kesilvia kicked through the air and shot out like a bullet.
The air currents of the Heavenly Continent rippled steeply.
Belle opened her eyes wide and threw herself backwards.
Kesylvia continued to chase Belle like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
Belle hastily kicked the sky and fled.
method.
I had to think of a way to counter that lycanthrope’s attack and fight on equal terms right now.
Strong winds blew continuously across the sky of the Heavenly Continent.
It was a speed I had never experienced before. It was a duel between Luke, my father and the head of the White Night Clan, which I had experienced for over ten years.
It was a sense of speed and pressure that I had never felt before in that match.
Bell’s body has a unique, deep blue-green aura unique to the Byakuya Clan.
The divine power of white light that was bestowed upon me as an apostle of the god Yuma burned at the same time.
Bell’s eyebrows had been furrowing ever since.
‘yet.’
I still haven’t been able to properly use the divine powers granted to me by Yuma. To my shame.
‘I couldn’t get the flow.’
Divine power had a system that was significantly different from aura. As an apostle of God, I understood its nature, but I was still lacking in using it in swordsmanship.
‘You still haven’t fully unleashed your divine power.’
If it was natural, then it was natural.
Because I haven’t been a believer for very long.
Yuma decided to offer some advice again.
[Remember what kind of god I am, Bell.]
God of War.
The divine power of God follows the history of his birth.
[Just think of it as a power you originally possessed.]
Bell is a natural born drone.
Bell, a warrior born with the natural martial arts body and who developed the special ability of uniting the divine and the sword, could be seen as martial arts itself.
[As you think, my divine power will move.]
A sword that has never been taken off the body for over ten years.
Bell decided to think of the divine power that was rippling through his body as such.
‘in action.’
The divine power moved.
‘The shape.’
It’s a sword.
Ss …
The divine power gathered like fine particles to create lines, then planes, and soon formed a complete shape.
Behind Bell, countless invisible swords were born in the sky.
The world of ten thousand swords unfolds according to Bell’s will.
Sreung─
Bell picked up one of them himself.
Two swords.
And dozens of them are stepping stones.
He created a path by draping the air like stairs with his invisible sword, allowing him to charge towards Kesylvia.
!
The remaining countless swords that were still decorating the sky of the Heavenly Continent poured down toward Kesylvia, drawing countless straight and curved trajectories.
“Dirty!”
Kesilvia’s fierce fists and hands slashed away the swords that poured down like a rain.
Boom! Crackle!
The intangible swords shattered like shards of glass.
Countless fragments that decorate the sky of the Heavenly Continent.
Bell rushed forward, cutting through the shards of divine power.
Mental image.
Bell always wanted to resemble Yuma’s sword.
To be exact, I tried to follow along even just by the tip of my toes.
One, it became impossible when he literally became a god. Although there wasn’t much hope to begin with.
‘What I wanted to achieve.’
The tip of the sword.
On top of the swordsmanship that has been built up layer by layer so far.
You have to put up one with the sword you have the most confidence in.
He developed the two-way swordsmanship towards Kesylvia.
The sword that entered Kesylvia’s territory was mercilessly destroyed.
Belle, without any hesitation, changed her grip to the sword she was originally holding with her right hand.
Cross cut.
A very basic sword fight.
But, the sword I know best.
Bell’s eyes were as cold as frost.
A crescent moon that decorates the sky of the Heavenly Continent.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk─
The new moon broke into Kesylvia’s territory.
“…!”
How on earth.
Instead of asking her questions out loud, Kesylvia moved her right hand.
To destroy the sword itself.
Phew-
He was in a state of full concentration. The realm of nothingness. Kesylvia moved her right hand toward the sword, taking for granted the feeling that the world had slowed down for a moment.
“uh?”
The blade was simply deflected by the back of the hand. The trajectory of the sword had to be distorted. But the sword did not stop.
Slurp…
Like a wave, like a mirage.
Kesylvia’s liver grew cold.
‘fast.’
The swordsman.
Much more than expected.
The sword was already far ahead of the fist’s trajectory.
Kesylvia, in a panic, quickly raised her left hand and extended her fist.
Thud─
The two new models flew backwards.
Kwaaang!
Kesylvia stumbled, but landed on the ground of the Sky Continent with her own strength.
Belle’s body was tumbling towards the ground where Yuma was.
Yuma received Bell’s body with divine power flowing through his entire body.
Bam-
“Are you okay?”
At Yuma’s words, Bell leaned against Yuma’s body, deliberately letting his body hang loosely, and smiled.
“Yeah, Yuma.”
Belle put her feet on the ground.
“evil!”
And then suddenly he shouted at the end.
“Hey, I thought I had completely blocked it by controlling my divine powers, but my ribs are a bit out….”
Someone was walking slowly toward that bell.
“Human woman.”
It was Kesylvia who had been fighting like crazy with Bell just now.
Belle’s eyes widened at the word ‘woman’.
“It’s a bell.”
The lycanthrope burst into laughter.
“Yes, Bell.”
There was a single sword wound on Kesylvia’s shoulder. It was a very deep scar.
One, the Lycanthrope Lord bloodline’s unique super-recovery ability was quickly recovering from wounds.
“I have a question about your last sword. How did you do it?”
Yuma was thinking the same thing as Kesylvia.
How did you do that?
“My goal was always to reach Yuma’s sword path… but I couldn’t do that. I just did the best I could. It was an attack made possible by receiving Yuma’s divine power.”
“…I see.”
Lycanthrope had no choice but to admit it.
About the human woman in front of me. And about the power of divine power.
‘But there’s no chance of losing.’
But I still thought there was no chance of losing to Belle.
But I wasn’t confident that I could completely win.
‘If it goes all the way, it might be one arm… or maybe more.’
Elf Seiabern strode towards Yuma.
“I’m not sure yet about becoming an apostle.”
Seiabern was worried.
“Before that girl named Belle unleashed her divine power, the gap between her and Kesylvia was enormous. Seeing as how she was able to narrow it down with her divine power… If I become your apostle, I may gain great enlightenment in terms of leveling up.”
Despite his defensive stance, Seiabern seemed quite interested in becoming an apostle of the gods.
“But for now, I need to think about it.”
Yuma thought that was enough. It was more strange to accept it all at once.
‘Once you have an interest, the chances of becoming an apostle are high.’
Yuma glanced over the Sky Continent. The fact that they had come to a place like this, and were trying to surpass the realm of the demigods while inspiring each other with a desire to improve, was proof of their endless desire for transcendence.
“I would like to teach that girl a lesson. Even excluding the use of divine powers, she seems to be one of the most talented people among humans. She is far superior to that swordsman Cronus.”
The blind elf demigod seemed to have taken a keen interest in Belle.
Yuma nodded slowly. His reasoning was correct.
[Lv.185] Bell
Race: Human
Tendency: Good
Class: Inspector, Apostle of the God of War
Realm: Grand Sword Master
Innate traits: genius, body and sword unity, celestial martial arts body
Since reaching the Grand Sword Master level of 150, Bell has grown rapidly on his own. After becoming Yuma’s disciple, his growth rate has accelerated even further.
Of course, the biggest reason I was able to fight on equal terms with [Lv.278] Kesylvia for a certain amount of time was thanks to Yuma’s divine power.
The position of Apostle reduced the level gap by a whopping 100 levels.
Seiabern let out a wry laugh.
“Well, to you, a shaman, both I and that girl may look equally uncivilized. But, really, that was some sublime swordsmanship just now.”
Yuma couldn’t say anything.
Because I just did parrying.
It was also an appropriate response to just shut up.
“I’ll think about it too.”
Kiryev, the demigod of the Join tribe, spoke with a stern face.
“You are a wizard.”
Kirev flinched.
Yuma had never seen himself use magic before, because he took it for granted.
Kirev immediately shrugged his shoulders.
“Well… there’s no way God wouldn’t notice that I’m a wizard.”
[Lv.379] Kiryev
Race: Join tribe
Class: Wizard
Realm: Demigod, 13th Circle
Of course, it was the answer I got through ＜Exploration＞.
“There is a wizard you must teach. It is mandatory.”
“…Well, I’ll give you that at the price of your life, okay?”
We saved Belle and Clone’s teacher.
This is just the primary harvest.
If you let them use their divine powers once, they will have the desire to become apostles. Yuma was satisfied with obtaining three aspiring apostles, including Kesylvia.
