Awakening (1)
The Praham Kingdom’s prisoner camp holds approximately one thousand prisoners.
Over 90% of these one thousand people are nothing more than ordinary villagers.
Their very small village had been attacked by monsters.
The villagers who fled to escape crossed the border and were captured by the border guards.
These prisoners did not suffer torture or human rights violations.
They received adequate meals and were given proper water rations.
However, they were confined in one massive hall.
Eden, the vigilante leader who once protected this village.
‘The two nations are conducting negotiations…’
Eden and most of the other prisoners had given up hope.
Even if negotiations proceeded, they thought only about a hundred people would be able to leave.
So they tearfully decided who would return to their homeland.
“Prioritize children and women.”
“My child… please be happy in the Goyard Kingdom.”
“Sob sob, honey…!”
Only about a hundred people.
It became an ocean of tears because of the families who had to part with them.
Then the door opened and a soldier appeared.
Surprisingly, he wore clothes bearing the emblem of the Goyard Kingdom.
The time had finally come.
Eden sighed.
The sound of crying grew louder, filling the hall.
And soldier Khan looked at them crying with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you all crying? Everyone can return to their homeland now.”
Eden frowned.
“Of course we’re crying since we have to part with our families… What, what? You’re saying everyone can return to their homeland!?”
“That’s right. Everyone will now return to their homeland.”
Eden couldn’t believe it.
Release of all prisoners?
How could such a thing be possible?
And Khan. His loyalty to Hyeon-su was sky-high.
The prisoner release was connected to diplomatic negotiations and also linked to his achievements as an instructor.
Like a loyal retainer, he said.
“This is all thanks to the grace of my lord, Baronet Hyeon-su.”
“We, we’re saved…!”
“Hooray!”
“We can all return together!”
The prisoners embraced each other in joy.
Among them, only Eden thought about this person called Hyeon-su.
‘Baronet Hyeon-su. Such a grateful person.’
All the prisoners went outside together. And Eden felt a small regret.
‘A baronet…’
Baronets don’t possess territories.
Even if they returned to their homeland now, they didn’t know where to go.
Their village had already been devastated.
Then Khan asked.
“Is it correct that most of the prisoners are from Itmin Village, known as the miners’ village?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“I see.”
At that, this person called Khan showed an unknowable smile.
Eden couldn’t understand that smile.
‘Good.’
Eden smiled slightly as he watched families embrace each other in joy.
Then Eden witnessed an incomprehensible scene.
A black-masked figure who suddenly appeared from somewhere.
He stabbed a dagger into the neck of a prison camp soldier and pulled it out.
“Kyaa, kyaaaaaaah!”
Soon dozens of black shadows appeared from everywhere.
They clashed with the fifty or so soldiers of the prison camp.
The average level of the Red Dragon members reached the 270s.
Dozens of soldiers began falling helplessly.
And Eden rushed out.
Eden had reached level 280.
Though he was merely the leader of a small village’s vigilante group, he was someone who had led a force of about a hundred men.
Clang clang clang clang-
He joined forces with the soldiers to fight against the unidentified assassins.
But it wasn’t enough.
A sharp dagger aimed for his neck.
Then.
Claaang-
A sword lightly deflected the dagger upward.
Five soldiers.
Those wearing shoulder patches with the emblem representing the Goyard Kingdom on their arms.
They were members of the Gale Unit.
It was the moment the five soldiers intervened.
The enemies who hadn’t been falling began to be cut down.
Eden, witnessing this, was truly amazed.
‘What, what is this?’
They moved like ghosts.
These unknown figures were overwhelming assassins who had learned to kill from birth.
Khan and the five members of the Gale Wind Unit in total.
They were Hyeon-su’s loyal followers who possessed knight-level strength.
Mysterious enemies that suddenly appeared.
[Assassin Luke Lv.273]
[Assassin Red Lv.276]
While cutting them down, Khan shouted.
“All forces escort the prisoners and get as far away from them as possible!”
Khan assessed the battle situation.
Of the 45 soldiers in the prison camp, 20 were killed. Of the 5 knights, 3 were killed.
And of the 20 soldiers from Hell’s Cradle, 10 were killed.
About 37 people in total.
And there were about 70 enemies.
Khan and the Gale Wind Unit members realized they were at a numerical disadvantage.
All they could do was hold them off as much as possible.
And the assassins couldn’t understand.
‘What the hell are these guys?’
‘Where were these bastards hiding? How could mere soldiers…’
Assassins’ advantages are their quick speed and the power of a single strike.
Also, the assassin group was superior in terms of skill.
However, these five soldiers were overwhelming them purely through skill.
The assassins scattered everywhere killing prisoners soon had the same thought.
‘We need to kill these guys first.’
About 40 of the 70 assassins rushed at them simultaneously.
Kwang, kwakwakwa, kwakwak-!
Relentless offense and defense continued.
True to assassin movements, they repeatedly disappeared and reappeared everywhere.
Sometimes they threw throwing stars and shuriken.
With each attack, wounds increasingly accumulated on the Gale Wind Unit members’ bodies.
Blood, blood blood blood, blood blood blood blood spurt, blood spurt-
Blood gushed from their entire bodies.
“Ugh, uugh…!”
Just when they thought it was time to collapse.
Khan gritted his teeth.
“Uoooooo!”
He didn’t retreat and cut down the assassins.
“Heeoeoek…!”
One assassin stepped back while looking at Khan’s demon-like expression.
The other assassins were the same.
Assassins don’t show emotional changes.
Because they were trained to suppress fear and terror. However, their proud fighting spirit could be felt from them.
But the assassins kept attacking.
Cut, cut and cut, and cut again.
But they charged forward each time.
‘How, how are they still standing?’
‘What the hell are these guys?’
Their bodies covered in blood.
The assassins couldn’t understand them at all – those who wouldn’t retreat even though it wouldn’t be strange if they died right now.
And Khan and the Gale Wind Unit members.
The reason they wouldn’t fall.
‘My lord, I don’t want to go like this.’
It was only because of Hyeon-su.
“Why won’t you fall! Whyyy!”
They gritted their teeth while watching blood spurt from their bodies.
But that was the end.
Kwajaaak-
One with a cracked head rolled on the ground.
Peoseoek-
One with a slashed abdomen collapsed.
“Uaaaah!”
Two pierced all over by daggers collapsed.
“Keuheup!”
Khan sat down heavily.
Khan covered in blood.
Khan saw about 20 assassins flying toward him simultaneously.
‘I’m sorry.’
There were too many things left unpaid.
They now hated their damn bodies so much.
All the Gale Wind Unit members had talents befitting knights.
However, what they all had in common was bodies incapable of using magic.
They were now despairing most greatly at their own pathetic bodies in their lives.
‘If only I had stronger power…’
‘If only we could use magic…’
Khan expected to hear a chilling sound of flesh being pierced soon.
But then.
“…I’m late.”
A familiar voice was heard.
Khan slowly opened his eyes.
Hyeon-su was walking over with his brown coat fluttering.
Khan saw the dagger that had stopped right in front of his eyes.
20 assassins were all frozen in that exact motion.
But Khan knew the power of the Lord’s Command.
The more people controlled, the exponentially shorter the duration becomes.
A full 20 people.
The time he could control them would be only 3 seconds.
And Khan saw.
Tree branches were sprouting beside Hyeon-su.
‘Anti?’
A power where the number that could be made was determined by probability.
Khan made a miserable expression.
His lord, having failed that probability, could only craft one artifact in this emergency.
It was hopeless.
If he could have made more artifacts in this situation, their chances would have been higher.
He couldn’t block them, couldn’t kill them.
Khan was certain.
But then…
His lord put a single grape in his mouth.
[Ban (Reverse) is activated.]
[One Artifact Crafting is possible.]
Hyeon-su, who arrived late, could see that not everyone was dead yet.
[You are controlling too many people.]
[Telekinesis is reduced to 3 seconds.]
The situation was not good.
The probabilistic activation Ban could only craft a single artifact.
Moreover, the 20 assassins he barely managed to catch.
Their levels weren’t low either, and their large numbers were about to limit the control of Lord’s Command.
At this moment, he thinks.
‘Even if I can neutralize them with just one emergency crafted item, what about the remaining 50 or so?’
The enemies were scattered in all directions.
They weren’t clustered together.
They were clever.
They were moving in preparation for wide-area attacks.
And indeed, the assassins had eyes that knew this fact.
When this telekinesis is released, you’ll eventually die, and your subordinates will die too – they smiled as if saying this.
“Hehehehe.”
“Kehehehe!”
But at this moment, Hyeon-su comes up with an idea.
He pushes a grape into his mouth.
[You have consumed a Small World Tree’s Grape.]
[Lord’s Command is maximized.]
“My lord, please take cover!”
“The enemy numbers reach about 70.”
“You cannot handle this alone!”
About 70 enemies.
Hyeon-su alone had to reduce their HP as much as possible.
Was that possible?
[Lord’s Command is maximized.]
[Level has increased.]
[Level has increased.]
[Level has…]
[Lord’s Command Lv.6]
The berserk Lord’s Command.
The action Hyeon-su chose with it.
It wasn’t just controlling the 20 assassins.
The assassins rushing toward Hyeon-su.
He controlled all the scattered assassins as well.
About 70 people stopped in their tracks. It seemed like a foolish act.
It would have been better to enhance wide-area skills with that maximization to kill them.
At that moment.
Whoooooosh-
Hyeon-su forcefully swung his arm upward from below.
About 70 assassins shot up into the sky.
Khan couldn’t understand his lord’s actions.
The other assassins felt the same. One assassin shouted.
“Crazy bastard, what difference does it make to send us flying into the sky?”
This power would soon be lost and the 70 or so wouldn’t take much damage.
But Hyeon-su gritted his teeth.
“Ugh…”
He deployed high concentration to send them higher, farther into the sky.
Distance between ground and assassins: 30m.
45m.
50m.
55m.
60m.
[Lord’s Command is released.]
The assassins in the sky.
They felt as if they had become birds.
“The assassins were idiots who didn’t know that assassins have basic weight.”
That was Mystical Power.
Assassins could reduce impact when falling from high places.
Soon the assassins saw.
Tree branches beside Hyeon-su soon created an arrow.
He took out a bow inscribed with “Thousand-Pound Bow.”
He nocked the crafted arrow on the bowstring and drew it.
[Time of a Thousand Pounds]
Everyone had similar thoughts.
‘What is he going to do with a single arrow?’
At that moment.
“End.”
The arrow released from the bowstring shot up toward the assassins.
They laughed at the single arrow.
But then.
[Glorious Golden Demon Divine Bow.]
[One arrow hits a thousand enemies.]
One arrow became about 70 arrows and hit all the assassins.
The assassins thought.
How many seconds would it take to fall from this height?
At least 2 seconds.
But…
0.1 seconds.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-BANG-!
70 people were smashed into the ground.
