Chapter 130 - LEGEND OF HEROES

Sorry for the late chapter. It was a bit longer than I expected.

On another note, I still don’t know what ‘Sagang’ is. I translated it as ‘four rivers’ in the s, but the ‘four’ word could also be read as ‘death’, so it could also mean as ‘rivers of death’. Since I still don’t know what it means, I’ll continue using the Sagang word.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued.

From a faraway place to a place further away.

The Golden Dragon King had already awakened, but he couldn’t stop the chain of explosions that had begun earlier.

Blade Song’s sanctuary, a large wolf den, blew up.

Solari’s temple, which had been protected by Blue Whiskers for a long time, exploded.

And several subsequent explosions.

The wild lands shook.

The explosion in the Sky Roof mountain range was so enormous that the aftermath was even visible in the Snow Breeze Plain.

And in the midst of all those explosions, Haraken staggered.

He couldn’t fully accept the current situation.

The Golden Dragon King woke up.

He understood their logic – purify the contaminated dragon veins by exploding it.

It made sense. It was fully possible. But even so!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Whether it was an auditory hallucination or something real, he could still hear the explosions from afar.

It included not only the west but also the east.

Yes, the east too.

“Crazy b*stards.”

It was the first time he had seen people like this.

He had never experienced meeting b*stards like them before.

That was why he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn’t hide his confusion and fear.

He felt like he witnessed what real madness was.

And.

Shaaaaa-!

Light burst out.

The monsters surrounding Jude disappeared at once, and a golden pillar of light shot up.

And the person who stood there.

The incarnation of the Golden Dragon King.

The fair-skinned, attractive, and good-looking boy, who looked like an angel himself, brightly smiled.

But for Haraken, that smile looked like that of a demon offering a contract.

And in the sky.

Another angel.

The girl whose face wasn’t just like an angel’s, but was a real angel, had now become a witch.

Cordelia also had a golden radiance like Jude.

And she realized it.

‘It won’t last long.’

The power of the Golden Dragon King was so immense.

Even if they leveled up many times, Jude and Cordelia’s bodies wouldn’t be able to handle the power for a long time.

And one more.

The reason why the Golden Dragon King couldn’t come out directly and only gave his power to Jude and Cordelia.

‘The Golden Dragon King is not feeling normal too.’

Since the entire dragon vein exploded, the Golden Dragon King was unable to properly control his body.

The time he could lend his power wouldn’t be that long.

It would truly be game over if that time ran out.

Thus, they didn’t have time to waver or hesitate.

“Haaaaaaa-!”

Cordelia curled up her body and gathered power. The golden light that had spread in all directions had now condensed around Cordelia, and the light gradually got brighter.

Standing next to her – to be exact, flying next to her was Lena who stared at Cordelia with a stunned face.

She understood the situation itself like Haraken did, but her senses couldn’t keep up with that understanding.

And on the ground.

Jude came to the same conclusion as Cordelia.

They didn’t have much time.

So they had to hurry and get the best results with the little time left.

‘Cordelia.’

He knew what Cordelia was trying to do.

Jude himself was confident that he knew Cordelia’s thoughts better than anyone else in the world.

If that was what Cordelia was preparing to do, he should then do the other job.

He would push the Demon Prince’s arm that was about to get up again back to the Hell Gate, and then close the gate!

“Haa!”

Jude let out a spirited shout.

He gathered the power of the Golden Dragon King into his fist and carried out the best thing he could do now.

“Titan’s Advent!”

Jude shouted as if roaring.

If Cordelia had heard him, she would have turned red and cried out to him not to shout the skill name while releasing the power of the wild god.

The light took on a shape.

Kooooooooo-!

There was a sound.

It was the sound of the light as it stretched out and took on a shape before it finally stood on the ground.

Thud!

A golden giant made from light stood as it towered above the Snow Breeze Plain.

Everyone on the battlefield were left agape at its appearance that was nearly 30 meters tall. They were in a daze as they let out their awe and fear at the imposing titan.

“Hwaaa!”

And the light titan moved.

It strongly grabbed with its hands the Demon Prince’s arm that was about to rise again.

And Jude was truly skilled.

The titan skillfully bent and twisted the wrist of the Demon Prince. In that short moment, he lessened the power of the Demon Prince’s arm.

“Uoooooh!”

The light titan pushed the Demon Prince’s arm.

Haraken woke up from his momentary daze and screamed after seeing the Demon Prince’s arm being twisted.

“Nooooooooooo!”

Boooooooom!

Jude pushed the Demon Prince’s arm with all his might. At the moment he completely pushed it inside the Hell Gate, Cordelia stretched out her curled-up body and let out her power.

“Aaaaah!”

Light burst out as she cried.

Just like the Day of Judgment, it was a light wave explosion that only destroyed evil beings.

Boooooom!

The explosion struck the Hell Gate. It swallowed up the monsters and demons around it, and Red Wind who was watching from afar was filled with admiration.

“It’s a star!”

Gold Star Explosion.

The aftermath of Cordelia’s skill move that Jude named on the spot was enormous.

The monsters and demons had already retreated in fear from the pillar of light and the light titan, so not much of them were extinguished, but what mattered to the two was the Hell Gate.

“It got smaller!”

Lena excitedly shouted.

The Hell Gate was nearly half destroyed and in a state of coming apart.

Just then, a terrifying sound was heard from inside the Hell Gate.

It was the Demon Prince.

The Demon Prince whom they didn’t know its name yet was clearly doing something.

So they had to finish it before that. Jude expressed his intentions to Cordelia through the emblems, and she immediately responded.

“Take it!”

The golden light radiating from Cordelia’s entire body faded.

All of the wild god’s powers that had been lent to the two were now concentrated on Jude.

Cordelia loudly exclaimed.

“It’s bigger!”

The light titan had grown even bigger.

Its 30-meter height had become 50 meters, and its right arm became abnormally huge.

Jude concentrated all of his power on its right hand. As everyone in the battlefield watched, the titan struck the Hell Gate with a knifehand strike (aka karate chop).

Kwoooooo!

The golden knifehand strike crashed into the Hell Gate.

They heard a piercing shriek from inside the Hell Gate, and a tremendous power was released.

The roar of the Demon Prince.

A roar that evokes fear!

And its curse worked.

The power that spread like an explosion hit the eastern forces who were fighting on the hill.

Fear and terror made them kneel in despair.

But it stopped there. It couldn’t do any more than that.

Because Jude was there.

Because the light titan used up its last strength!

Boooom!

The knifehand strike split the Hell Gate into two.

Then it was crushed.

The light titan grabbed the Hell Gate with both hands. It pressed and crushed the two sides together as Cordelia and Lena recited a spell while in the sky.

It was the sealing spell that Cordelia learned in Endymion.

“The Hell Gate, the Hell Gaaaate!”

Haraken screamed.

Red Wind stood up from the Demon Prince’s curse.

Great Storm shouted in a voice filled with divine power.

“The power of the wild!”

Baaang!

The Hell Gate disappeared with a loud noise.

It ceased to exist.

And the light titan fell.

Particles of light scattered along the golden whirlwind.

Kwahaaaaaaaaa-!

The air cried.

It was because of the void created by the disappearance of both the Hell Gate and the light titan, which let out an enormous power.

And there was a tremendous roar.

It was the cry of the eastern forces that burst out despite being under the Demon Prince’s curse.

“Haa.”

Jude fell from the air to the ground.

Cordelia hurriedly flew and snatched Jude by carrying him in her arms.

“It’s been a long time.”

Jude spoke out of the blue while in her arms, and Cordelia understood it.

During the time they went to the Belkain Mountains to get the Sun’s Necklace.

She carried Jude in her arms as she jumped off the cliff.

“You did well.”

Cordelia casually spoke as she headed to the ground with Jude. She wanted to fly towards the eastern forces at the same time, but she no longer had the strength to do so.

‘I feel like dying.’

Her whole body didn’t have any strength left.

It was just like how they felt when they accepted the power of the wild god, and even if Jude and Cordelia were powerful, it was too much for their bodies to handle.

The two landed on the ground, and Lena hurried after them.

And Haraken saw these three people.

Anger spread on his face as he lost his senses.

“Euaaaaaah!”

He was so angry that he couldn’t even properly say a word.

Haraken’s face became contorted, and his body swelled.

The Hell Gate had disappeared.

The Demon Prince’s arrival failed.

What that meant.

Haraken’s own failure.

A disastrous failure that only consumed enormous resources and power in the wild lands, but eventually achieved nothing!

“Because of you! You!”

Several horns protruded from Haraken’s forehead and back. His already huge body was covered with a black and hard shell.

And Haraken was not alone.

The monsters and demons still remained.

They did not disappear just because the Hell Gate disappeared.

And Haraken still had the Angry Bull tribe whom he did not dispatch to the battle.

“Kill.”

He had to kill them.

Those two damn b*stards must be ripped apart.

Haraken looked far away as he roughly exhaled.

The fight began on the hill again.

The battle was fierce in the first place.

Because of the Demon Prince’s curse, the wild gods were unable to hastily move. They were busy from pushing away the Demon Prince’s curse.

So he had time.

Enough time to crush those b*stards in front of him!

“Go!”

The Angry Bull tribe responded to Haraken’s orders. They got up from where they were waiting and rushed towards Jude and Cordelia.

The monsters and demons did not stand still. They vented their hatred towards the two who closed the Hell Gate.

“I will not allow it!”

Lena loudly shouted and let out her magic.

Her mana was almost depleted because she successively cast Day of Judgment, but she was still one of the five heroes. She was one of the best archwizards in the entire Pleiades.

Golems rose from the ground. They formed a defensive formation and became a wall to stop the attacking demons.

But it was not enough.

Lena’s legs were trembling.

She alone could not stop all the monsters and demons.

Moreover, the Angry Bull tribe would be joining in a little while.

“Haa, haa… Golden Dragon King.”

Cordelia looked up the sky as she profusely sweated.

She wanted to blame him for the rough consequences of using his power, but Cordelia still had a conscience despite that.

The Golden Dragon King wasn’t feeling normal due to the explosions in the entire wild lands.

He must have done his best for them already.

“What should we do?”

Cordelia asked Jude who was lying in her arms, and he answered in that condition.

“Let’s go to Plan C.”

“What’s that?”

“I suck the potion, and you use mana drain.”

Then they would somehow be able to take some emergency measures.

Jude drank the remaining stamina recovery potion, and Cordelia absorbed Jude’s stamina and converted it into mana. She then cast a powerful shield with Count Chase’s ring instead of using offensive magic.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The rushing monsters banged on the shield after destroying the golems Lena had summoned.

Lena sank on her knees with a thud, and Cordelia clenched her teeth.

She had to hold out somehow.

The eastern forces would solve the current situation if she endured for some time.

And she was right.

Great Storm sensed the crisis of the three people and guided a do-or-die squad led by Red Wind and Sun Song as they left the front lines in order to rescue the three.

‘Endure, endure, let’s endure this, Cordelia!’

Cordelia grit her teeth as she continued to sweat. Whenever the monsters hit the shield, her entire body ached as if she had been directly hit, but she endured and endured.

A little more, a little more!

“No way…”

Lena said.

Jude sensed the reason.

It was in the ground.

Monsters were approaching from under the ground where the shield couldn’t cover.

They were in a very dangerous situation.

A crisis after a miraculous reversal.

‘Only Cordelia.’

Jude clenched his teeth. His stamina was drained because of mana drain, but he somehow stood up and chanted the mnemonic chant of Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors. He tried to create a golden whirlwind once again.

And then, at that very moment.

Cordelia blinked her eyes.

She was doing her best to maintain the shield, but she was the first to notice.

Because her very sensitive senses noticed it.

‘The ground.’

It was reverberating.

It was vibrating.

It was not because of the dragon vein’s runaway.

It was not because of the monsters who were digging the ground.

A different kind of vibration.

Another vibration that came from the south and heading north.

‘Really?’

Cordelia looked at Jude, and he blinked his eyes. He got up and turned to the south. He unconsciously opened his mouth in delight.

“Weak guy.”

In the south.

In the outskirts that were somewhat far from the center of the Snow Breeze Plain where Jude and Cordelia were.

Count Chase stood there.

To be exact, he was riding on a pure white horse, and Violent Avalanche was sitting behind him.

He did not see it.

But as a powerful wizard, he could feel it faintly.

What occurred in Snow Breeze Plain.

The miracle caused by both Jude and Cordelia.

“He’s still lacking.”

In protecting Cordelia.

Jude was still extremely weak.

So he would help them just this once.

Count Chase’s horse ran.

Within a short time, he charged towards the Angry Bull tribe, the monsters, and the demons who turned to him.

And Jude saw it.

Cordelia could feel it once again.

The vibrations in the ground.

Those who followed Count Chase.

“Jackdaw!”

Jude cried out in a roar.

Those who guarded the northern border.

The shield of the S?len Kingdom.

The brave knights of the north!

“Jackdaw! Annihilate the enemies!”

Count Hr?svelgr caught up with Count Chase and cried.

The Jackdaws responded to his command while on their black horses.

“Annihilate!”

“Annihilate!”

Half of the ten thousand Jackdaws were here now.

Thanks to Count Chase’s wide range assistive magic, they marched at an unusual pace and reached this place in time.

Over 5,000 elite cavalry who wore black cloaks and rode on black horses charged towards the Angry Bull tribe!

“Jude! Cordelia!”

Lucas yelled.

And Jude and Cordelia changed their expressions as they recognized Lucas.

The two burst into a bright smile at the same time.

And the two then knew. The fact that Ga?l and Adelia were among them too!

Baaang!

The vanguard of the Jackdaws smashed and trampled the Angry Bull tribe.

The charge of the great northern horsemen was no different from a disaster itself.

“Go!”

Trample and crush them.

The trained knights of the Jackdaws boasted a combat power that made them the strongest in the north!

“Sage King’s Cross Sword!”

Jude exclaimed as Count Hr?svelgr showed off the majesty of the true Sage King’s Cross Sword.

He ran through the battlefield with a white Aura Blade, and no one dared to stop him.

And Count Chase.

He soared up into the sky. He saw the monsters pushing the eastern forces and unleashed on their backs the powerful magic he had prepared for the past two days.

“Rain of Fire.”

He cast magical arrows with a wave of his hand.

And a barrage of fire fell down from the skies.

Count Chase was indeed one of the Northern Sagang. Hundreds and thousands of fire arrows fell down from the sky and burned the monsters and demons. It assisted the eastern forces in pushing against the monsters.

“Open the way!”

Red Gale shouted.

The eastern forces finally began to overpower the demons. The squad led by Great Storm joined the Jackdaws.

Haraken angrily screamed at them.

Count galloped straight towards that guy.

And Jude turned to Cordelia.

Cordelia also turned to Jude.

Jude smiled as he leaned his head on Cordelia’s lap. Cordelia also showed her best smile.

A scene that was unimaginable in the original.

A world where Red Gale led the eastern forces, Red Wind and Sun Song ran together, and the wild gods were not corrupted. A world where Count Chase and the Jackdaws led by Count Hr?svelgr, fought to protect the wild lands.

Lena stood right next to them.

Ga?l lived and didn’t die and was with Adelia.

“This is the best.”

Cordelia said at some point, and Jude agreed with her.

The two looked at each other again and exchanged their best smiles.
