In this generation, there were only four descendants of the Mist: me, Cavendish, Glina, and Renée. However, I had originally expected that only Glina and Renée would be able to respond to the summoning.
But when I tried it by chance, I obtained a delightful result.
From a certain standpoint, the virtual Valkyrie summoned by Roland's Sacred Sword was a copy of the summoned person. However, my and Cavendish's situation was obviously unique. From a certain standpoint, we were no longer descendants of the Mist. At the very least, I had entered the Cycle of Reincarnation several times, and the current Cavendish wasn't even human.
However, the Holy Sword was still summoned. Looking at that nostalgic figure, I couldn't help but feel suffocated.
The golden-haired young Holy Knight bowed to me with a bright smile, but I knew that he was scheming something. Cavendish, who had a displeased expression, furrowed his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something important, but he probably wasn't thinking about anything at all. At most, he was thinking about what to eat for lunch. Even though the two of them looked exactly the same, their auras were completely different.
It was obvious that the twins in front of me were a bug caused by an abnormal summoning. I had clearly died in battle at the age of fourteen, but I was still so lively now. That was why this Sacred Sword had summoned the Holy Knight of that generation, Roland, the legendary Holy Knight who entered the Armageddon together with Diffindor.
As for Cavendish, the moment he abandoned the Mist Bloodline and turned into a demon, this land recorded his final moment. And now, the one in front of me was also the young man who abandoned the Mist Bloodline.
"Roland, don't drag me down. Just hide behind me and tremble." My powerful younger brother had a foul mouth as usual, but in reality, he was using his own method to care for his older brother who wasn't skilled in combat.
"Brat, I'm your older brother. Remember to be polite. Otherwise, during the next social gathering, I'm going to tell that big bear girl from Dilo's family that you like her. You know how clingy she is." The Holy Knight smiled brightly as he threatened viciously. Then, as expected, he received a hint of fear from his younger brother's icy glare. That was his habitual expression of surrender.
Looking at the twins in front of me, I felt as though I had returned to a familiar dream.
After crossing the long river of time, the twins met again. Their conversation made me feel as though I had returned to the last days of three hundred years ago. It was a difficult but happy time.
"Aiyo, this guy seems to be very difficult to deal with. Cavendish, I'll leave him to you."
"Hmph, I knew you would say that. Running away as soon as the battle started, I really don't know how you became a Sword Saint."
Back then, we also bickered like this as we confidently walked towards our respective battlefields. Unfortunately, even though we always knew of each other's existence and believed that each other could change everything, we never reunited until the very last moment.
At this moment, the sky of the Northern Region was still as blue as before, and the cold wind was still bone-chilling. However, some things were destined to never return to the past. At the very least, the next time the twins met, it would definitely not be so peaceful.
"The next time we meet, we will draw our swords …"
"Roland, what are you thinking? It's coming! "
Adam's angry roar brought me back to my senses.
Just what foolish things had I done? Being in a daze on the battlefield to refresh my memories was the best way to die.
At this moment, Ömdiroken unhesitatingly started attacking, furiously shooting rocks at us like cannonballs. Meanwhile, on our side, the two virtual Valkyrie Mages had already rushed forward to block him.
* Clang! *
My lightsaber was knocked away, and Adam kept spinning from the impact, while the twins blocked in front of Ömdiroken.
Back then, Roland had barely reached the boundary of Legend rank before he died, while Cavendish, who had abandoned everything, had only reached the peak of Legend rank. Perhaps in human society, this was already an astonishing achievement. For their age, they would be considered super geniuses. However, for the Earth Elemental God who had experienced countless eons and had even experienced ancient battles where the Gods were like lackeys, ordinary Legend rank individuals were nothing more than slightly stronger cannon fodder.
However, some people were destined to be extraordinary … Roland and Cavendish had never been ordinary Legends!
"Blessing of the Holy Sword!" "Angel's Descent!"
Holy Knight Roland casually tossed out several support Divine Arts to push his younger brother to the frontline, while he unhesitatingly hid in the back, making it obvious that he wouldn't participate in close combat.
"Pfft! Is this how you were back then? This scene is so beautiful. "
"Of course, how old was I back then? How could you expect me to be so skilled in sword techniques? Plus, my body wasn't that good, so my title as a Sword Saint was far too exaggerated. Besides, I was the commander, so hiding in the back was the way to go. Melee combat was for barbarians. "
"… No matter what, you're a Sword Saint as well. Aren't you embarrassed to say such things?"
However, what happened next caused Adam to shut up.
Holy Knight Roland raised his longsword, and a blinding light gathered on it. The next moment, a small sun so bright that it was impossible to look at it directly appeared in midair.
"Grenade of Holy Light!"
Just as he shouted angrily in a childish voice, that small sun-like ball of light completed its magical compression and crashed down like a meteor. When the ball of light exploded, everyone was instantly blinded, and the unlucky Emm was forced to take several steps back.
"This is a Grenade of Holy Light? The simplest one that all Knights know? What a joke! Even Judgement of Light isn't this ridiculous. "
"Heh heh, this is talent. Otherwise, how could I have become a Child of Holy Light? My Holy Light spells are at least five times more powerful than a normal Holy Knight's, and with the amplification from my Soul Imprint, the power is definitely more than ten times! "
"Then why don't you use high-level Divine Arts? The Holy Light Egg's basic abilities are too weak. Even the amplification would be limited. "
"… No, I only knew a few basic Divine Arts back then, and this is the only one that can be cast instantly."
"Huh? What did you say? Aren't you a Legend Holy Knight? "
"Do you really think that you can learn Divine Arts to such a level? Relax, although I only know Grenades of Holy Light, it's definitely more than enough!"
As expected, the battlefield had already entered a state of complete chaos. Small suns kept appearing in the sky, and then they rushed over in the next moment.
"One, two, three … fifty! Hey, hey, isn't this too much? "
"Hmph, now you know how amazing I am."
"… Indeed amazing, but is this any different from the 'gather mana, condense it into a ball, and then blast it?' So you've been acting as a cannon ever since then. You haven't improved at all in two or three hundred years. "
"Nobody's going to think you're mute if you don't talk." Alright then, this was an eternal pain in my heart. After so many years, the only improvement I made was probably that I changed from throwing Holy Light balls to ice balls.
But right now, Holy Light balls were even more useful than ice balls.
The essence of Holy Light was to "purify." From a certain standpoint, Holy Light was the natural enemy of all unnatural existences. Holy Light was incredibly damaging to existences that twisted the natural order of the world. Although elemental creatures weren't completely countered by Holy Light like the undead or demons, it was also the job of Holy Light to reverse the unnatural order of elemental creatures and return them to the unconscious elements themselves.
"Go back to where you came from, dimensional evils!"
The roaring Holy Knight Roland tossed out even stronger … fine, even more Grenades of Holy Light. However, for a short period of time, Ömdiroken was actually suppressed.
If this was an ordinary Holy Knight's Grenades of Holy Light, Ömdiroken would be able to completely ignore them as he was an Elemental God. But this time, his enemy was truly difficult to deal with. The density of Holy Light was so high that he actually felt like he was being expelled from this world!
"Impossible, this is basically the God of Holy Light's pure light? The Son of Holy Light? An existence blessed by Holy Light? Damn it, how can there be a descendant of God here! How can you possibly be a descendant of God!? "
The huge piece of dirt's angry roar caused everyone to pause in surprise. However, this wasn't the time to be in a daze. The huge piece of dirt charged over while enduring the continuous explosions of Holy Light.
And then, it was sent flying horizontally …
After retracting his flying kick, Cavendish proudly showed off to Roland. However, he saw that little Roland was currently fiddling with his crystal sunglasses so that he wouldn't be dazzled. Alright then, with my understanding of Roland, there was an eighty percent chance that he was intentionally pretending not to see anything.
"Am I seeing things? He sent an Earth Elemental Lord flying with a single kick? Just how strong is that brat? "
Adam was actually the most astonished of them all.
"He's definitely stronger than 30? If you can't understand the numbers, he's probably 1.5 times stronger than you. He's never even lost to a dragon in a contest of strength? It's said that he's even defeated an Inferno Demon Lord and a Behemoth with a single punch. "
"Is he really human? Why are you two brothers so ridiculous? "
"… I think so. At the very least, that's what happened. Right, since that 'me' is fiddling with those things, be careful … I think it's too late. "
"Take my sword!"
The Holy Knight Roland angrily roared as he raised his sword. Holy Light so dense that it was almost tangible gathered on his sword as if he was preparing some sort of powerful ultimate attack. When everyone's attention was drawn to him …
"Flash!"
The dazzling brilliance turned everything snow-white, and everyone who was looking at it lost their vision.
"Ahhh!" This wasn't Ömdiroken's howl of pain, although he wasn't in a good state either.
Adam was actually the one who screamed the most. He was directly blinded as he was watching the battle. When he heard the Holy Knight Roland's angry roar, he thought that it would be some sort of powerful ultimate attack, but he ended up being blinded by it as well.
"Relax, Solar Fist doesn't last for very long. It's not like you're going to directly collide with him. As for you, you'll be blinded for thirty seconds."
That's right, this was the combat technique that I had developed in the past based on the blinding nature of Holy Light. If there were any servants present, I would even ask a few people to help me lift my mirror. It would be quite easy for me to blind everyone.
Right now, when I saw that Roland was preparing his sunglasses, I guessed that he was going to use this attack.
"Ultimate attack! Blind dog eyes! " At this moment, Roland finally said the name of his attack. Judging from his slow tone of voice, it was obvious that he was intentionally torturing everyone.
Cavendish's shout doubtlessly proved that this definitely wasn't the first time.
"How many times have I told you! Before using your ultimate attack, first shout out the name of your ultimate attack before throwing it. It's quite interesting to accidentally injure your teammates every time! If you're a real man, you should shout out the name of your ultimate attack! Aren't you just making things difficult for me? "
The furious Cavendish suddenly punched out with his fist. Black magic and brute force were activated at the same time. The stone wall that Cavendish's fist came into contact with instantly shattered into pieces. The space behind the stone wall even began to distort. Seeing such frightening power, even Ömdiroken, who was skilled in melee combat, resolved himself to never let this brat's fist touch him.
"Demon? Are you guys really brothers? "
Ömdiroken, who was the first to recover, was destined to never get an answer to his doubts. The moment he spoke out, his position was found. The furious Cavendish found a target to vent his anger on, and viciously slashed at Ömdiroken.
Similar to Cavendish's reaction, Adam, who was also injured, was silently nodding as tears came out of his eyes. In my opinion, since they were both hot-blooded idiots, they would definitely have a lot to talk about, especially since they had both been repeatedly harmed by a certain black-bellied older brother.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Wasn't this for the sake of surprise?"
"You didn't do it on purpose. You did it on purpose." I silently added this truthful sentence to Roland in my heart.
Even though that Roland's smile was quite humble and sincere, as if he was apologizing from the bottom of his heart for accidentally injuring his teammate, I knew that he was definitely bursting with joy in his heart. — — "Nice, I made those hot-blooded idiots suffer again."
"Sigh, it seems that this isn't the time to be watching a show."
I shook my head and took the initiative to advance with my sword. Even though it was rather incomprehensible that the Twin Stars could be counted as a single summon, I had already used up all of my summons for today. If I still couldn't maintain a basic equilibrium, then this battle would truly be difficult.
However, before I personally took action, there were some things that I needed to try. If I succeeded, then my chances of victory would greatly increase.
"Wind Elemental God Kamdiran, stop pretending to be dead. I know you're here. Do you really think that you'll be able to reap the rewards just by watching? Idiot! If you're still trying to play both sides at this time, you'll only be treated as cannon fodder by both sides! "
My angry roar reverberated throughout the underground tunnel. Everyone paused in surprise, while Ömdiroken directly began laughing out loud.
"Cowardly insect, do you really think that idiot would dare to appear in front of me? He's already fled with his tail between his legs. That coward doesn't even deserve to be on the same level as us!"
Ömdiroken's laughter echoed throughout the empty labyrinth. The echoes of his laughter seemed to prove the truth of his words, as well as mocking the Wind Elemental God's weakness and cowardice.
However, I didn't stop mocking him.
"Kamdiran, as long as you keep this guy busy, our people will be able to destroy the Earth Elemental Door, and Ömdiroken will be directly weakened. Perhaps you won't be a match for him by yourself, but so what if you join us?"
"You've already missed such a rare opportunity that only appears once in a thousand years — no, once in ten thousand years! Don't you want to become the true peak of the Elemental Gods? If you still want to be a coward, then we'll directly cancel our agreement. You know that I have the authority to do so. Are you certain that you want to face Boss Aillé's wrath by yourself? "
"Have you lost your mind? As expected, mortals are so weak, no matter if it's the physical body or the soul … "
Ömdiroken stopped midway through his mocking, because another raspy voice suddenly spoke up from not far away.
"… How did you know that I was here?"
That familiar voice caused me to smile in delight.
"Perhaps the wind elemental isn't as powerful as the fire elemental in terms of attack power, nor is it as powerful as the earth elemental in terms of defense. However, the wind elemental is the fastest of all, and its nature is that it's the best scout. As long as it slightly changes its form, it shouldn't be difficult for it to become completely invisible. As long as it's unwilling to fail, it'll definitely follow him. "
"That's not a good enough reason …"
"It's more because I believe that the wise Wind Elemental God won't be so foolish as to waste such an excellent opportunity. Is that enough? "
A humanoid creature walked out from the shadows in a corner. He wasn't particularly strong, and his skin was covered in flashing lightning runes. His silver hair fluttered without any wind, and his eyes were filled with lightning. However, it was impossible to ignore his existence.
"That's enough. I like smart allies. In that case, let's forget about our unhappy past and work together to keep this foolish rock here. "
"Kamdiran!"
"Oh my, isn't this our esteemed Earth Elemental God? Why are you blind in one eye? Would you like us, your junior, to accompany you on your way? "
Ömdiroken called out the name of an old acquaintance. That's right, wasn't this person in front of me the Wind Elemental God who had already fled with his tail between his legs? However, there was one thing about him right now. No matter if it was his mental or physical state, he was obviously at his peak condition.
Judging from how Kamdiran was currently completely unharmed, it was obvious that Kamdiran hadn't used his full strength. In fact, it was even possible that it wasn't even Kamdiran himself who fought. But now wasn't the time to look into this.
"Of course. Although some people always emphasize the importance of the process, isn't the difficult process all for the sake of a satisfying result? In that case, only a satisfying result is the most important, isn't that right? "
I smiled as I joyfully watched the man before me transform into the incarnation of the wind and unhesitatingly face off against his mortal enemy. We now had the best cannon fodder.
However, I still pretended to be mysterious and calm on the surface. Inside, I secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ha, I'm quite lucky. This guy really is here."
That's right, I had been scamming him from the very start. I didn't have the ability to detect the Wind Elemental God, who was the most skilled at hiding himself. I also had no way of determining whether he had truly lost or faked his defeat. All I did was casually scam him, so of course I had to say that I was quite lucky.
What? I scammed him three times? If I wanted to scam an old fox like him, I would have to act and not go all the way.
"Foolish brat, if you ran away, you might have been able to live for a few more years. But now, even with you, weaklings like you are still not even worth mentioning!"
The berserk rock unhesitatingly smashed into the Wind Elemental God who was attacking him. His single eye beneath his thick stone armor was still filled with a vicious glint. Even though he was at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of numbers, he unhesitatingly attacked first.
* Boom!! *
However, when the two elemental giants began fighting, a series of explosions rang out underground, causing Ömdiroken's expression to drastically change. He was no longer able to maintain his calm.
"Ömdiroken, today shall be the day of your death!"
