Episode 640: This is enough for me to come play. (2)
[Their appearance was horrible. Their heads looked like human faces forcibly grafted onto bat skulls. Their pale skin was as bloodless as corpses, and their veins were visible like blue threads throughout their faces.] [When they opened their mouths, their cheeks split open, revealing hundreds of sharp teeth. Their tongues were forked like snakes, and black saliva continuously dripped from their tips.] [Instead of hair, they had numerous tentacles growing out of them, and these tentacles moved and writhed as if they were alive. Their bodies were a strangely elongated human upper body and a bat lower body fused together in a deformed manner. Their ribs were poking through their skin.] [They were so numerous that they formed a forest. They could fly, so they quickly approached and attached themselves to the soldiers. With strength that matched their huge bodies, they preyed on the soldiers… … .]
Even the elite northerners, who were not easily surprised by anything, looked horrified at the sight of the monster.
“Uh… …what is that?”
“Isn’t it more disgusting than Greggs?”
“There really is everything.”
The soldiers’ hands were sweaty. It wasn’t because they were scared. They felt an instinctive aversion to the sight of those monsters.
Kaaaaaaah!
As recorded by Giselle, the monster bats swarmed, darkening the sky.
There seemed to be tens of thousands of them. They varied in size, some as big as an adult male, while others were as small as half that size.
Even the small ones were much larger than regular bats, so the creepiness was no less severe.
The bats were faster than the cracks in the sky, and although they didn’t fly very high, they were still fast enough to pounce on the gathered soldiers.
If it had been a normal army, they would have been subject to such a surprise attack.
But unfortunately for the bats, their opponents were not very kind.
“Ugh!”
Dddddddddd!
As Jerome stretched out both arms, the monster bats that had been flying in a wide spread were pushed toward the center as if they were being pushed by something.
Kieeeek!
“Flame Strike.”
Then, as Vanessa waved her hands and murmured softly, a huge pillar of fire rose up where the monster bats had gathered.
Kwaaaaang!
Kaaaak!
Other wizards also poured out their magical power without sparing any effort.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fireballs flew from all directions, lightning struck, and the monster bats burst out as soon as they approached the northern army.
The monster bats that kept popping out from behind were pierced by countless flying arrows.
Kaaaaaaah!
The forest in front of us was already burning with flames spreading rapidly.
Jiselle leapt forward and shouted.
“Now catch the fire!”
The magic power of the wizards who were catching the bats was directed in another direction. As all the wizards focused on extinguishing the flames, the flames were quickly extinguished.
The monster bats flapped their wings and swarmed toward the soldiers without missing a beat.
The superhumans spread out to the side, guarding the soldiers in front. Only Giselle ran forward alone.
I told you in advance that I wanted to really put in some effort this time.
Kuung!

Jiselle stomped the ground hard and extended her sword forward.
Woooooooooooooooo!
The world began to move once again according to Giselle’s will.
The moment his sword cut through the air, the swordsmanship of great heroes from a thousand years ago unfolded in his hands.
Padadak!
The monster bats still flapped their wings attached to their arms, but strangely they could not move forward any further.
The bats were held in place, as if time itself had stopped, or as if they were caught in an invisible spider’s web.
Gooooooo… … .
The flow of the world changed. A strong energy spread out as if a thousand years of time had been condensed in an instant. The monster bats were caught in the whirlpool of that huge flow.
Jiselle’s sword moved slowly. The monster bats were dragged in following his sword as it moved as if dancing.
The soldiers opened their eyes wide. No, even the superhumans could not hide their surprise at the wondrous sight.
Kaaaaaaah!
The swarm of monster bats was already following the path drawn by Giselle’s sword. When they gathered in one place, Giselle’s sword flashed for a moment.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Some of the monster bats burst out as if they were being blown up.
Jiselle’s sword moved ceaselessly, cutting through the air. No, he was dancing with the sword along with the thousand years of time.
Jiselle’s sword no longer fit into any of the standard categories of swordsmanship.
It was as stealthy as a shadow, yet as heavy as a knight’s sword, as free as the wind, yet as violent as a volcano.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions continued. Every time Jiselle’s sword moved, the monster bats burst out without mercy.
They kept moving, but they were unable to escape the space of will that Giselle had spread out, as if they were trapped.
Jiselle combined the techniques used by heroes from a thousand years ago with her own swordsmanship to create a unified whole.
The essence of all swordsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years has melted into one person’s will and transformed into a completely new swordsmanship.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kaaaaaaah!
The monster bats screamed helplessly and burst out.
A drop of blood also fell on the tip of Giselle’s nose. The cold air of the forest seeped through the red trace, but his will burned even hotter.
‘Just a little more.’
By fighting Aiden, he had entered a new realm. However, as Arterion had said, it was only a brief moment at the threshold.
It’s different now. Thanks to the saint’s help, I was able to cross that boundary.
Although it is still the beginning, Jiselle has finally reached the realm that the heroes and apostles had achieved a thousand years ago.
‘Just a little more.’
But it was still not enough. In his dream, he saw how strong the warrior and his opponent were.
Even the other heroes and apostles of that era stood at the pinnacle of the realm that Giselle had just stepped into.
That’s why you always have to push yourself to your limits and whip yourself. You have to become strong enough to surpass them.

‘more!’
Kwaaaaang!
Jiselle’s eyes glowed red. The black darkness that surrounded his body spun around violently, like a whirlpool.
All powers were raised to the limit, even using Dark’s amplification.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
For a moment, the world stopped. Even the flow of time seemed to have stopped. Everything seemed to be holding its breath and staring at Jiselle’s sword.
Jiselle’s sword slowly lowered itself into the air, drawing a single trajectory.
And right after that.
Paaaaah!
The darkness surrounding his body disappeared. At the same time, all the monster bats that had been gathered together turned to ash and scattered.
Kuuuung!
Jiselle, who had a satisfied smile on her face, fell backwards.
“master!”
“My lord!”
“majesty!”
“colon!”
“Hey hey hey!”
The onlookers all ran towards Jiselle, calling out to her in a random manner. Their eyes were filled with a mixture of shock and worry.
I knew I would get stronger quickly, but I reached a new level within a few months.
Everyone was amazed at his amazing growth speed and his fighting style that didn’t know how to do ‘moderately’.
Jiselle was passed out with a smile on her face and blood flowing from her nose. She had really pushed herself to the limit, trusting her allies.
The aides looked down at the unconscious Jiselle and clicked their tongues. It was clear that she had used force ignorantly, under the guise of training.
But the soldiers and laborers had different impressions.
“I’m really amazing.”
“That is the true power of His Highness the Grand Duke.”
“It is clear that this is the strongest on the continent.”
He single-handedly turned tens of thousands of monsters into dust. Now, it seemed that even the titles of superhuman and master were not enough.
What on earth should we call that realm that far surpasses human power?
Everyone’s faces were recalled. The belief that they could overcome any difficulty with Giselle rose again.
The morale of the Northern Army was unwavering. Everyone was filled with awe and overwhelming emotion.
And Julian also felt a strange feeling while watching Giselle fight.
― I’m the one who’ll settle things with you. Of course, not now, but later. People are curious to know who’s stronger.
‘Who is stronger… … .’
Why is it that I suddenly remembered that word that I had never even paid attention to before?
He didn’t think he was the strongest on the continent. In fact, he didn’t even care who was strong.

But now something was different.
‘Why… … .’
Why did my hand tighten when I saw Giselle’s sword?
It was an incredible sword. Even Yulienne wasn’t sure if he could block it.
But the feeling he was feeling now wasn’t just a simple sense of pride. He’s not someone who’s particularly obsessed with winning or losing.
My mind was complicated. I couldn’t even tell exactly what was in my mind right now.
‘why…….’
Why did the image of myself clashing with that sword come to mind?
It’s not like he’s going to fight Jiselle.
Julian soon shook his head. Lately, he had been focusing on useless things.
As I spent time with Jiselle, I began to feel more and more emotional changes. I couldn’t tell if these were good or bad changes.
It was clear that I was living a different life from the dull and dry life I had before.
And those emotions that I feel for the first time in my life… … .
‘Not bad.’
This time with everyone was not as lonely as before. Maybe this is joy.
Julian decided to keep only positive feelings in his heart.
Fiote poured his divine powers diligently onto Giselle. It seemed to be effective, as soon as Giselle opened her eyes.
“How is it… … . This is not a joke, is it?”
Belinda beat her chest as she looked at Giselle, who was acting all showy with her sullen eyes.
“Why don’t you know how to do it in moderation? Ever since I was little, I just don’t know how to stop doing things in moderation… … .”
“To this extent, it’s just… … a little bit of stretching… … .”
“If you let it go twice, you’ll die easily!”
Belinda started nagging at her side. Giselle turned her head to the side and pretended not to hear.
Others were raving about how great it was, but not Kaor.
“Why are you doing it all by yourself? I didn’t show you my skills properly!”
He’s been getting anxious again lately. He’s been fighting for over two months in front of so many people.
But it seemed like my skill level was the lowest. I kept counting numbers while fighting, and I had the lowest number.
As a result, my concentration continued to decline. Even though I became a superhuman, my inferiority complex did not go away.
The fortress was also very uneasy with the Aura Blade blinking again.
Jiselle clicked her tongue as she looked at Kaor like that.
“You… … If you keep worrying about useless things like that, you’ll go down in level… … .”
“What? Why does something that went up once come back down?”
“If the world shakes… … it may regress… … .”
Kaor was startled by those words. She became more anxious, went to a corner, and bit her fingernails.
Jiselle laughed at that. Actually, that’s not going to happen. I just wanted to scare you.

While Giselle rested, the soldiers and laborers resumed their work. After all, the land would eventually have to be used, so it was effective to work on it in advance.
Boom! Kwung! Boom!
We cut down trees again and built fences. We sent the resources we obtained to the garrison and brought back the supplies we needed.
Belinda, who was watching the scene, said.
“The forest is really big. It’s already been over two months.”
Everyone nodded at that. No matter how easy the hunt was and how smoothly the work went, it couldn’t have been comfortable to be outdoors for months.
The laborers were also changed several times. In Perdium, there was no place to store the timber, so additional laborers were hired to transport it to other fiefdoms.
Still, everyone looked happy. There was no way it could be bad when resources were piling up like crazy.
Although the work increased, the workers were also happy. This was because they were supposed to receive additional pay as the work increased.
“They say our kingdom is the richest, but we will become even richer.”
“We will also become richer.”
“Ah, money can be copied!”
After the cleanup was over, the Northern Army began to move again. Dark occasionally scouted the surroundings, but it was of little use.
– Kew! It went off again!
There were so many monsters in the forest. Dark’s clone, who was clumsily wandering around because he couldn’t fly high, exploded before he could get very far.
As you approach the center, stronger monsters appear, but their numbers are relatively small. At most, there are only about a thousand of them, so it wasn’t difficult for the Northern Army, which was full of superhumans and elites, to deal with them.
And those who went deeper into the forest discovered amazing things.
“This, this is… … .”
“Was there something like this in the forest?”
“What on earth is this place?”
In this terrible forest, traces of civilization have appeared, namely structures that appear to have been built by humans.
