Episode 161

“Kill! Kill!”

The Death Warrior’s blue eyes swept over the Turang Hunters.

The Turang Hunters holding weapons shrank back with an eerie feeling.

‘I felt fear?’

‘It’s an illusion. I was just startled because it’s an undead I’ve never seen before.’

The Turang Hunters didn’t lose their momentum even after entering the Death Warrior’s [Death Step] area of influence.

―Don’t panic just because it’s an undead not in the briefing.

―Chang Wufei is keeping the main force tied up. We just need to fight a war of attrition.

The Turang Hunters who conversed through message stones immediately took action.

[Mana Emission]

[Bowling Bash]

[Spiral Pierce]

Tremendous power surged from muscles that repeated contraction and relaxation.

Adding mana emission to the boiling dragon force gave them enough strength to pull out house-sized rocks.

Concentrating tremendous power into the weapons in their hands.

They slashed at the body of the undead charging recklessly forward.

Sgeoooeok!

A lowly undead falling sideways.

But why.

Am I getting so sleepy?

‘Ah. It wasn’t me who got cut, but that undead.’

That was the last thought of the hunter whose waist was severed as he slid sideways.

Thud, thud.

The Turang Hunters, cut along with their weapons and armor, buried their faces in the ground.

“Kill!!!”

The Death Warriors who continuously muttered strange battle cries went out to find more sacrifices.

‘Aura!’

The smile quickly disappeared from Yang Chien’s lips.

Variables are one thing, but this is another.

Where did undead wielding master-level swordsmanship and aura come from!

‘No. At this rate, the formation will collapse!’

Suppressing with overwhelming magical firepower also failed.

Even suppressing with divine spells didn’t yield much success.

Still, it was fine.

Block Isra and the Gale Knights head-on.

She was confident they would win if they just stopped the Tigris Group before reaching maximum power when they began their charge.

However.

There are five more undead who can handle aura besides Isra and the Abyss Revenant!

‘What kind of B-rank Hunter is this!’

This level far transcends the power of a mere B-rank Hunter.

―We’ll block those undead.

To protect the priests and mages at the rear of the formation.

Three A-rank Hunters who had been waiting with their hands behind their backs to step in at the crucial moment rushed toward the Death Warriors.

That was the critical mistake.

Less than 10 seconds after Jin Xian and the two A-rank Hunters rushed out with weapons.

Pook!

“…!”

One priest couldn’t even scream and collapsed spitting blood.

[Shadow Step]

[Cowardly Ambush]

【Keheheh. No one paid attention to me.】

Zaugg flicked his tongue.

The [Silent Dagger] glistening after being drenched in blood.

It was a weapon used by a Turang Hunter who had been their comrade, and now belonged to Min-ho.

Zaugg, who had circled around the island as soon as the full-scale battle began, had been waiting for this moment.

When all the escort forces were away.

The timing to harm the priests casting [Lexio Divina].

―Enemy from behind!

―Impossible! How!

―There’s no anomaly in Far Sight!

The mages and priests were shocked.

They hadn’t left the rear completely defenseless.

Far Sight and alarm magic.

They had cast stealth detection spells to prepare for ambushes.

Zaugg ignored the Turang Hunters’ preparations and casually plunged his dagger into the priest’s chest.

―We need to quickly kill or drive away that bastard… Guk!

Another priest lost his life.

Coincidentally.

Both priests had the common trait of chanting the [Lexio Divina] spell.

[Insufficient number of priests needed to maintain Lexio Divina.]

[The spell is canceled.]

[Backlash will be inflicted on the priests who participated in casting the spell.]

Three priests collapsed coughing up blood.

They didn’t die.

But it became difficult for them to participate in battle immediately.

【Yahoo! I did it!】

Zaugg’s arm exploded with a bang― as he excitedly screamed.

[Wind Cannon]

―I aimed for the torso, how did he dodge?

The mage gritted his teeth.

The moment wind compressed beyond its limit was fired.

[Heavenly Martial Body], a talent shared by Min-ho, sent a danger signal.

Zaugg, who had lived as a thief for a long time, instinctively twisted his body and successfully evaded.

【I’ll give you one arm as a gift!】

[Stealthy Steps]

[Shadow Step]

Zaugg instantly vanished before the Turang Hunters’ eyes.

Wasn’t he right in front of them just moments ago?

What happened?

It even felt like seeing a phantom.

Swoosh, swoosh.

If not for the two collapsed corpses, they would have thought they were under an illusion spell.

[Water Magic]

[A-rank ― Fountain Barrier]

A water barrier that shot up like a fountain protected the rear.

―Wait. Don’t panic. This is Bangzi’s trap.

The A-rank Hunter from the magic world transmitted thoughts through the message stone.

Now that they’ve put up a defensive barrier, the assassination-type undead won’t be able to attack anymore.

―Reorganize formation.

―Then we can’t launch additional offensives.

―Just for a moment. We’ve deployed barriers too, so we can block magical attacks.

[Fountain Barrier] was magic set up in advance like a chain formation.

It could easily block an assassin’s attacks.

It also had excellent resistance to magical attacks, so it should be able to withstand Ingrid’s magical offensive.

This was Tourang’s second mistake.

Ingrid smiled brightly.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Photon Ray X 5]

One of the 12 Heroes.

The photon magic ability extracted from Alphonse Hus’s soul stone was reconstructed, intertwined with her unique technique.

Magic as a discipline is not simple arithmetic.

Just pouring in more mana doesn’t make the power proportionally stronger.

Even if you consume double the additional mana on Fireball.

The actual power increase would be about 50%.

“My magic is special!”

[Modified Technique – Shatter]

[Photon Stream of Destruction]

Not 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5.

It transformed into magic with the power of 10, or even beyond that.

The Eclipse Witch who inherited all the knowledge and combat experience of the Witch Coven through generations.

That was exactly who Ingrid Yggdrasil was.

The moment the compressed light mana beyond its limits was released.

Kwaaaaah!

A pure white beam of light struck the mages in the rear.

The light of destruction that collided with the water stream maintained a standoff for a brief moment.

―It’s a defensive technique enhanced with A-rank magic stones. A mere B-rank Hunter’s summoned being can’t break through…

Hissssss, in less than a second, multiple water streams evaporated.

The Turang Hunters standing behind the breached water barrier hastily prepared defense magic, but.

“…!”

“…!”

They died horrible deaths without even having time to cast spells, unable to let out a single scream.

‘This is ridicu…’

Even the screams of two A-rank Hunters were swallowed by the light of destruction.

And so.

The rear forces of the Turang Hunters were neutralized in an instant.

* * *

The atmosphere had been disadvantageous until we deployed the Death Warriors.

In less than a minute, the battle situation was completely reversed.

“Zaugg pulled it off.”

I didn’t expect him to perfectly hide his presence in this chaotic battlefield.

And successfully launch a surprise attack from the rear where various security spells were deployed.

I had tried similar things myself.

But hiding one’s presence on a battlefield where over 200 people were fighting was not easy.

【Brief. Rest.】

After uttering those words, Roan collapsed.

His gaunt arms and legs.

He had literally ground his body down in the process of weakening the divine spells.

For a human, it would be equivalent to sacrificing one’s lifespan.

Fortunately, since Roan is undead, we can just replace his parts.

“My performance was impressive too, Master!”

“Oh my. Of course I know that.”

The magic Ingrid displayed was also tremendous.

One of Alphonse’s secret techniques.

She enhanced and deployed the magic that Emilia had used, and its power exceeded imagination.

The hill where the light of destruction struck literally evaporated.

The mages and priests disappeared without leaving a trace.

Only the unnaturally sunken land remained in a form that allowed one to infer that ‘something had been there.’

“Oh my. I made a mistake!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I blew away all the corpses. Now I can’t reinforce our magical forces!”

Ingrid made a tearful face.

Ha.

I really thought something serious had happened.

I lightly tapped Ingrid’s head with a gentle thunk.

“Ouch!”

“Don’t let your guard down.”

“Uuuugh. I’m sorry, Master.”

The masked hunters’ formation was beginning to crumble.

We need to press the attack further and solidify our advantage.

[Death Space]

―Summon 30 Tigris.

The two charges hadn’t yielded much gain.

They were repeatedly blocked by the tank line, and their equipment’s durability had been significantly reduced.

Nevertheless.

If not now, we couldn’t press the masked hunter group.

“Break through the tank line.”

“Groooooh!”

Thanks to Zaugg’s performance, the penalty disappeared.

The 20% spec increase from harsh command was fully applied.

Now was the time.

To trample them down.

Thud thud thud thud!

[Ferocious Charge]

[Dead Doping]

“Send me straight ahead!”

“Sure. Receive this express delivery well.”

Responding to Sir Isra’s request, I made them charge toward the center of the tank line.

A position where failure to break through would result in severe damage in return.

Crack!

The bone spear, already worn in durability, was blocked by shields and shattered into pieces.

If we couldn’t break through the solid wall.

We’d have to bear the full recoil with our own bodies.

“Grooook!”

Several Tigris were dismounted.

The blood horses carrying heavy armored soldiers also had their legs broken from the impact and rolled on the ground.

Some were completely destroyed.

About 1/3 suffered damage ranging from moderate to severe.

Nevertheless.

He couldn’t break through the tank line.

The A-rank Hunter at the front still held his ground, his shield wrapped in aura.

“This should be enough!”

Like an arrow released from a taut bowstring.

Sir Isra kicked off the ground and charged straight at the tank.

[Imperial Swordsmanship_Modified Isra Style]

[5th Form – Flash Strike]

Aura concentrated at a single point exploded upward.

The energy gathered beyond the blade scattered fierce vibrations.

Will against will.

The materialized blue mana collided.

Crack! The aura surrounding the shield burst open, piercing through to the Hunter’s heart inside.

“…!”

Disbelief flickered in the wide-eyed Hunter’s pupils.

Then soon after.

Thud, the strength left his neck as his head drooped down.

No more life could be felt in the tank’s eyes.

“Enemy leader, eliminated!”
