Episode 115
If we lose the terrain advantage, we won’t be able to hold out.
Aura > Enhanced Ice Wall > Revenant.
That’s why we must intercept the enemy even if it means overextending.
Two Dracos took the lead.
“Grrrroar!”
[Fire Breath]
Flames unleashed by completely exhausting their mana.
In terms of destructive power and range alone, it’s the strongest skill.
“Keuuugh.”
Flames that incinerated dozens of Revenants.
[Fire Breath]
The second Draco poured out flames, widening the path even more.
The moment a clear path to the Abyss Revenant opened up.
[Fierce Charge]
[Over Doping]
The Tigris shot forward with terrifying momentum.
Like releasing a taut bowstring.
Drug-enhanced muscles released power beyond their limits.
They closed dozens of meters in just one second.
“Die, living one.”
The aura released above the iron mace was hazy.
Incomplete aura.
But it couldn’t be ignored.
Hadn’t Sir Isra in the past also pierced a large hole in an iron plate with incomplete aura?
If we faced it head-on, our weapons would shatter.
“But go anyway.”
Crack!
The bone spear thrust by the leading Tigris crumbled.
Even if incomplete, aura was still aura.
The spear, concentrated with power drawn beyond limits through acceleration, had no choice but to either destroy the opponent or be destroyed itself.
The Tigris collapsed after losing its spear.
[Death Space]
I retrieved it immediately before it crashed to the ground.
Since it’s undead, broken arms or legs aren’t fatal wounds.
It could be deployed again with just repairs.
The problem was not having that time.
Moving slightly away from the Ice Wall to close the distance.
This was to immediately retrieve the Tigris.
Crack! Crack!
There wasn’t just one Tigris that charged.
Undead heavy cavalry thrusting spears in succession with 0.1-second intervals.
Incomplete aura couldn’t deflect all the sharp thrusts.
Spear tips carrying the weight of heavy cavalry and power enhanced by doping.
Large holes appeared one by one in the Abyss Revenant’s body.
[You have gained a large amount of experience.]
[Tigris has been destroyed.]
Two Abyss Revenants eliminated.
One Tigris was also completely destroyed.
Additional damage included two heavily damaged units, and four spears were lost.
The Tigris group that finished charging was completely retrieved.
“Ingrid.”
“Leave it to me.”
[Wind Bomb]
Just before the wave of Revenants covered the path.
Strong wind exploded outward, pushing Sir Isra forward.
Without resisting the wind’s pressure.
Sir Isra, entrusting her body to the artificially created wind, was shot into the enemy formation faster than the Tigris.
A strategy of throwing a person like a shot put.
It was a performance possible only with the skill to perfectly control magical output.
And a knight who knew how to utilize the flow of mana rather than resist it.
[Aura]
The blue current dwelling in the Serimis magic sword sliced through the Abyss Revenant cleanly.
“Lord! Please retreat!”
“I’m not going.”
The Armed Zombie Enhanced soldiers assigned as guards surrounded me.
Even if they were undead belonging to the knight order.
I was the primary command authority.
The retrievable distance for Death Space was 30 meters.
If we went farther, retrieval would be impossible when Sir Isra fell into crisis.
“Don’t think about retreating, just fight. I’ll pull you out at the right timing.”
“There’s no need for even Lord to come to the front lines!”
“You Iron Head. Trust me and do as Master commands.”
“Right. I’ll trust you, Ingrid.”
Whooooom!
The deepened aura leaves afterimages in the air.
Releasing concentrated mana from her soles, she cut the neck of an Abyss Revenant twice her size in half.
Six Abyss Revenants remained.
Nearly half their number had been eliminated without landing a proper attack.
It was the result of early deployment of our forces.
But there was a price to pay.
We had given up the terrain advantage of the hill and Ice Wall.
“Living one. Eat.”
“You too. Die.”
We had to accept handshake requests from countless Revenants.
The Armed Zombie Enhanced soldiers blocked the wave of undead surging like a tide.
“Frozen Orb.”
A white orb exploded in the middle of the Revenant group with a bang.
The compressed cold spread, hardening their bodies.
Undead with resistance to cold damage.
I wasn’t expecting major damage.
It was enough to weaken their power so the Armed Zombie Enhanced soldiers could hold out.
“Excellent judgment, Master.”
[Unique Technique – Eclipse]
[Wind Bomb X 4]
[Modified Technique – Expand]
The Revenants hardened by cold collapsed one after another.
During the time gained through magical combination.
[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]
[3rd Form – Full Moon]
Sir Isra slaughtered the Abyss Revenants.
“Half-breeds like these are no match for me, Isra!”
Only aura can face aura.
This common knowledge isn’t limited to warrior-type Hunters alone.
Upon reaching A-rank, aura gives you an advantage in battles against mages.
The essence of destruction that crushes even rearranged mana structures!
Clang!
The incomplete aura wavered greatly the moment it touched the blue energy flow.
While Sir Isra, having gained momentum, was cutting down another Abyss Revenant.
Whoooosh!
Above the crown of the head.
Iron maces flew toward both flanks.
A display of not caring about friendly casualties.
I feel like I’ve seen this scene many times before.
“It’s foolish to expect camaraderie among the undead.”
As if it was within expectations.
Sir Isra reacted without even looking at the attack unfolding from blind spots.
Clang!
While deflecting only the attack aimed at the crown, he pressed deeper and cut down one enemy.
The skin of both arms was torn away.
He had penetrated too deep to completely avoid the attack.
Tch.
We gained all the advantage from Tigris’s charge attack and Sir Isra’s surprise assault.
But we went in too deep.
And five Abyss Revenants still remained.
“My Lord!”
“Just protect the head and heart.”
Retreating now would make the risk we took meaningless.
Even incomplete aura was sufficient to collapse the Ice Wall.
“I shall obey your command!”
While we held our ground.
Slash!
Crunch!
Sir Isra, acting alone, cut down the Abyss Revenants.
With one arm completely torn off.
While sustaining damage severe enough to expose ribs.
He slaughtered all the remaining Abyss Revenants as well.
[Death Space]
Immediately retrieved Sir Isra.
“Ingrid.”
“I’ll clear the path!”
[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]
[Multiple Casting]
[Wind Bomb X 10]
[Modified Technique – Shatter]
Awl-shaped concentrated wind fired in a straight line.
It knocked away the Revenants blocking the Gate entrance.
Crash!
The Revenants bounced away like bowling pins hit by a strike.
Despite appearances, the destructive power wasn’t great.
“Retrieve the Knight Order Members.”
【Understood!】
Sir Isra, stored in Death Space, collected the Knight Order Members.
After reverse summoning Ingrid and the Dracos as well.
I ran at full speed down the path leading to the red wall.
[Super Acceleration]
[Mana Release]
A unique-grade skill obtained from defeating the Mutant Raptor.
Powered by the propulsion gained from Mana Release, I dashed like an arrow.
How long had it been since I ran at full speed?
Since being promoted to D-rank, I hadn’t run hard enough to break a sweat.
Perhaps that’s why.
It felt much faster than I had expected.
I thought I had only taken a few steps, but I had already reached near the red wall.
[Death Space]
I brought out all the Two Vassals and minions I had retrieved.
The Abyss Revenant horde was repelled.
The Revenants began swarming again.
There was no time to leisurely make repairs.
[Ring of Life: Built-in Skill – Life Recovery]
I infused nearly 40% life force to restore Sir Isra to perfect condition.
“Are you alright?”
“I have a spare, don’t I.”
I playfully waved my left hand.
The vampiric ring that had belonged to the Chinese Hunter scattered an ominous light.
Blood = Life force.
When I brought it close to the vampiric ring, it absorbed life force with a slurp.
[Ring of Life]
[Life Force Accumulated: 100% → 62% → 81% → 94%]
[Vampiric Ring]
[Stored Blood: 100% → 96% → 91%…]
The vampiric ring is incredible!
Just looking at total capacity, it’s enough to recharge the Ring of Life several times.
I’m probably the only Hunter who uses these two items in combo.
“But where is that thief?”
“He hid somewhere as soon as the battle started.”
“Master worked so hard, yet that scoundrel should at least earn his keep!”
“Haha. We two are sufficient to assist our Lord, Mage.”
That’s right.
You two keep blocking well.
I should finish what I was doing.
Clang!
Clank!
Park Min-ho’s Blacksmith, reopened for business.
First, I urgently repaired the cracked bone spears.
Then I crafted additional spears using bones extracted from Revenants.
“Tsk.”
The performance was inferior to the spear Tigris originally used.
That spear was made by synthesizing and strengthening Runic Bear and Owlbeast bones with the Alloy skill.
In comparison, Revenant bones were much weaker.
A few more charges and it’ll be smashed to pieces.
I got so absorbed in the repairs that quite a bit of time had passed.
Just as I was straightening my back, thinking that reinforcements should be arriving soon.
“Lord. They have appeared again.”
A group of Abyss Revenants revealed themselves in the distance.
Hah.
Give it a rest already, will you.
“The girl seems to have figured out the cause.”
Ingrid’s voice grew heavy.
“I think it’s a mechanism where vengeful spirits accumulate every time we kill the minions.”
“When those vengeful spirits pile up, enhanced undead pop out?”
“That seems highly likely at this point.”
Huh.
What a truly shitty system.
Defeat the revenants and enhanced monsters pop out.
Do nothing and we become a meal for the undead.
It was a deadly dilemma if there ever was one.
Damn it.
“Think I’m gonna die in a place like this?”
Trap or whatever.
Let’s hold out longer.
Either destroy all the undead.
Or reinforcements arrive before that.
Whichever it is, there’s bound to be a way out.
Let’s see who wins!
* * *
Far from the battlefield.
Abyss Revenant Odium watched Min-ho’s group’s struggle.
“Kugh. Can’t. Last. Forever.”
A different monster from the instant creature that Sir Isra had defeated.
It was himself that the great being who created this Gate had breathed life into.
The goal given to Odium was simple.
―Kill the Hunters who entered this Gate.
“Will. Accomplish. With life.”
In the Abyss of Darkness, there were tens of thousands of corpses.
All were arrangements by the great being.
Though the number that could be revived at once was limited.
As long as corpses remained, troops were supplied endlessly.
“More. Deaths. Better.”
The Gate’s secret that Ingrid had discerned.
The exact ratio was that for every 100 revenants defeated, one Abyss Revenant would be crafted.
The more revenants that came rushing that he defeated.
The more that human was tightening his own noose.
“No. Variables.”
There was only one way to overcome this situation.
Eliminate the core axis of the sorcery.
That medium was inside the dilapidated building behind Odium.
Therefore, his job was to stand idly and guard the medium until the pitiful intruder died.
“Easy. Task.”
Fulfilling the noble mission bestowed by the great being was Odium’s reason for existence.
While idly watching Min-ho’s group’s battle.
Clank―
An irritating sound stimulated Odium.
