Episode 195
Clang! Claaang!
Boom!
Explosive sounds and sharp collision noises echoed without rest.
“Hmm. It seems they’re putting up quite a fight over there.”
Ingrid twirled her voluminous hair around and around.
Her red hair curved with the movement of her fingers.
【Thanks to that, our work has proceeded smoothly.】
“That’s true.”
A steel door stood tall before their eyes.
It had the same design as the entrance that the three Death Giants had blown away.
“It’s a diversion.”
There were two reasons for dispersing their forces.
The first was to block the enemies’ retreat route and achieve complete annihilation.
The second reason was to interfere with the transmutation circle.
【Truly a bold plan, is it not?】
The Otherworldly Soul dwelling in the Revenant.
Meigars the Cradle expressed admiration.
The Eclipse Witch was a legendary being that could only be confirmed through literature!
Especially Ingrid, who was called the strongest among all Eclipse Witches in history.
Moreover.
She had even ended the history of the Witch Coven with her own hands.
Seeing the legendary witch in person naturally brought forth admiration.
“Fighting is Iron Head’s specialty.”
For the past week.
The Familiars had closely observed the China stronghold.
The number of permanent personnel.
The stronghold’s defense level.
Hunter patrol routes, and so on.
They had grasped most of the information needed for the assault.
“If Iron Head says it’s doable, then there’s a chance of victory.”
【And that judgment has proven correct in the end.】
Meigers also agreed.
All the transmutation circles cast over the mountain slope were now under his control.
Thanks to this, information about the stronghold’s surroundings was coming in real-time.
[Trismegistus]
Alchemy that had reached the ultimate level could interfere with magic circles or transmutation circles installed by others at will.
“You’re sending it to Master, right?”
【Indeed.】
“Hoho. Now shall I show my skills too.”
Min-ho was activating [Harsh Command] from a safe location.
Before the surprise operation began.
Since all available buff skills had been applied.
He was watching the situation from a distance where the range of the continuous activation skill [Harsh Command] barely reached the stronghold.
“I need to show a more impressive performance than Iron Head.”
Ingrid muttered as if steeling her resolve.
In terms of pure force, she couldn’t surpass Sir Isra.
Moreover, while the secret magic [Eclipse] had been inherited.
She couldn’t fully deploy all the magical knowledge passed down through generations.
Though she was adding spells one by one through [Undead Research], an additional function of the Death Forge.
She couldn’t exert as much power as Sir Isra, who had inherited his unique swordsmanship as a skill.
‘I’m not sure if I could win even at full strength.’
Sir Isra was that strong.
Strong enough to make her wonder if she could win even substituting her prime self.
But that didn’t discourage her.
‘I’ll prove that this Girl is the one who helps Master.’
Ingrid smiled confidently.
[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]
[Photon Ray X 5]
[Modified Technique ― Shatter]
[Photon Stream of Destruction]
A fusion technique she had demonstrated on the uninhabited island.
The beam of destruction completely blew away the stronghold’s north gate.
Demolishing the long-range defensive magic deployed around the gate was a bonus.
“Geheheh. Burst Flare.”
The Skeleton Wizard battalion unleashed their prepared magic without reserve.
Dozens of fireballs flew in curves.
Boom!
They completely destroyed all the magic turrets on the north side of the stronghold.
“It’s your turn now.”
“Kill!”
Ten Death Warriors charged with terrifying momentum.
When the Hunters, who had formed their formation only watching Sir Isra’s side, noticed the anomaly.
[Death’s Step]
[Aura]
[Imperial Swordsmanship]
Swoosh!
They had to expose their vulnerable necks to the Death Warriors who had closed the distance with terrifying speed.
“What happened at the north gate?”
“The turrets have been shattered to pieces.”
“Priests! Where are the priests!”
“Most of them are just trembling…”
The weapon in Xiao Zai’s hand trembled.
Dozens of Undeads using aura?
‘That’s impossible.’
The Superhuman Bureau also had Necromancers.
Currently ranked A.
With a rare profession that exerted great power on large-scale battlefields, he was a superhuman being supported at the bureau level.
Xiao Zai had seen him before.
That’s why he couldn’t believe this situation even more.
‘The strength of Undeads is endurance. They’re disadvantageous in short decisive battles.’
Undead monsters tend to have low stats.
High-level Undeads like Death Knights or Liches might be different.
Unlike monsters like Primitive Species or large-type creatures that were treated 0.5 grades higher.
It was common sense to calculate ordinary Undeads 0.5 grades lower.
The Superhuman Bureau’s Necromancer also just commanded a large number of Minions relative to his grade.
The individual combat power of each wasn’t remarkable.
‘But what about these Undeads!’
Strength beyond common sense.
The blue aura surging from swords made of bone.
The magic flying from the rear also possessed destructive power that defied trajectory.
‘What the hell is that monster!’
A 10-meter-sized corpse golem.
The Death Giant continuously transformed its form according to Sir Isra’s commands.
[Close-range Armament ― Chain Sword Form]
They had judged it to be powerful long-range firepower and struggled to approach.
But it transformed its arm into a saw blade and sliced through an A-rank Hunter’s shoulder.
Since no aura was imbued in it.
If they had responded immediately, they could have blocked it sufficiently.
But they couldn’t have known the mana cannon would change into a chain sword, so they had no choice but to take heavy damage.
‘We must hold out. Somehow!’
There were several superhumans near the stronghold.
They were those sent out for patrol and reconnaissance of the surrounding environment.
Their numbers totaled 40% of the total forces.
Since safety was secured by the dimensional barrier.
They had sent more superhumans outside.
Now that judgment had become poison, but there was no time to debate cause and effect.
‘We can’t expect external reinforcements due to communication jamming.’
Still.
If only the superhumans around the stronghold could join up, there would be a chance of victory.
The Undeads had formed an encirclement.
If they just maintained the front line, their allies outside would respond.
[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]
[Burst Flare X 5]
[Modified Technique ― Expand]
Kuaaang!
“Guan Wu Supervisor. The enemy’s firepower is abnormally strong.”
“I know.”
Ingrid’s unique technique.
Every time an attack with increased power was fired by reconstructing or combining multiple spells, several Hunters were swept away.
If it were ordinary magical attacks, they could have endured to some degree.
But before the power of unique techniques, it was useless.
“If we could just eliminate that magical firepower first…”
“You seem to have leisure for other thoughts.”
[Bright Heaven Swordsmanship]
[First Form ― Bright Heaven Parting Clouds]
Chaeng!
Xiao Zai instinctively swung his sword.
A heavy sword strike that pressed down on the blade.
His shoulder ached.
If he had deployed his swordsmanship even a little late.
It wouldn’t have ended at just an ache – his body would have been split in half, such was the power.
“White Light Knight. The strongest Undead among Park Min-ho’s retainers.”
“Haha. I’m truly delighted that my reputation has spread so widely.”
“Just a mere B-rank Summoned Being. I’ll defeat you and prove who the real strong one is.”
Xiao Zai put strength into his arms.
It was certain that the woman before his eyes was commanding the Undead army.
The individual combat power of each was also remarkable.
But Sir Isra’s command played a large part in systematically driving back the Chinese superhumans.
“Coincidentally, that matches my thoughts exactly.”
Sir Isra grinned wickedly.
He had stepped to the front lines thinking that if he defeated the commander, he could quickly eliminate the remaining enemies.
Since their mutual interests happened to align.
All that remained was to give it their all.
‘I’ll show you the skills of peak A-rank.’
Xiao Zai was also a promising talent in the Superhuman Bureau.
Though he had been stagnating for years before the wall, his skills were the real deal.
[Bright Heaven Swordsmanship]
[Second Form ― Bright Prosperity Cloudless]
[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]
[Second Form ― New Moon]
The aura-laden blades clashed in midair.
Chaeng!
Blue sparks scattered in all directions.
* * *
Chen Youhua.
The superhuman dispatched to Dragon’s Beacon looked up at the sky.
Puff puff pung!
Mana emitted in a predetermined pattern.
Chen Youhua read the message contained in the mana wavelength.
〔Stronghold in crisis. Request immediate return.〕
The stronghold that had completed fortification.
Dragon’s Beacon was capable of intercepting even the Cross Gate Mountain Ogre, a monster with power equivalent to S-rank.
‘This doesn’t seem like an ordinary matter.’
Who was Guan Wu Supervisor Xiao Zai?
Among the A-rank superhumans belonging to the Bureau, he was the one closest to S-rank, a prideful individual.
He was an advancement-oriented person with stronger promotion desires than anyone.
Recently, Zheng Xianhe, a Korean superhuman recruited by the Bureau, had achieved S-rank, causing him to lose face.
But still, his pride remained unbroken.
A support request was a matter that could damage his career and pride.
But for such a person to request support meant this was no ordinary matter.
“Squad leader.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll return first. You all should also pick up the pace and come back.”
“Understood.”
“Avoid combat. Once you enter the magic circle’s range, you won’t encounter monsters, so increase speed from then.”
Chen Youhua was A-rank.
The remaining five squad members were all B-rank.
If they moved together, they wouldn’t be able to support the stronghold in time.
‘The surrounding monsters have already been cleared out.’
He didn’t need to worry much about the squad members’ safety.
Chen Youhua ran toward the stronghold.
Whoosh!
As he ran while pouring mana beneath his feet, the scenery changed rapidly.
Was his heart too urgent?
[Dark Stealth]
[Cowardly Ambush]
He was a bit late in discovering the blade flying from the shadows of the bushes.
‘An ambush?!’
Chen Youhua barely managed to twist his body.
Puaaak!
A long scar remained on his nape.
Splash, red liquid flowed from the split skin.
It was a fatal wound.
His life would be in danger if he didn’t pour a potion on it immediately.
“Oh. That’s a bit disappointing.”
The sly man’s tone.
Zaugg, who retrieved his dagger, grinned wickedly.
“Y-you bastard.”
Chen Youhua couldn’t open his mouth any further.
He could feel the wound trying to tear open with a hissing sound.
He needed time to recover.
A situation where he couldn’t use his left hand as he was preventing the neck wound from tearing further.
The moment he tried to take out a potion from his pocket with his right hand.
Clang!
“Who gave you permission to drink a potion?”
Zaugg swung his sword with a bright smile.
His vision spun.
The bleeding increased even more.
How many more minutes could he last?
‘The squad members will join me.’
He put strength into his two legs.
He wasn’t alone.
He had acted ahead after seeing the emergency signal and ran into trouble.
But if the squad members following behind could just join him, they could win.
“You’re not actually trusting your subordinates, are you?”
“….”
“Those friends have already been transferred to heaven.”
“…!”
Five Death Warriors.
That was the force assigned to Zaugg.
The moment Chen Youhua took solo action.
The Death Warriors attacked the remaining squad members.
“Thanks to the information the great lord provided, the work is easy.”
Zaugg smiled brightly.
The Chinese Hunters stationed near Dragon’s Beacon.
As Meigers took control of the detection magic, even their positions were delivered intact to Min-ho.
Not only that.
They applied magic that caused visual disruption and disgust to the enemies.
The ’emergency signals’ sent from the stronghold were also exposed separately by squad to prevent group action.
“Don’t worry. You’ll all meet in the afterlife.”
Thanks to that, Zaugg had defeated three squads individually.
Two remained ahead.
The deeper Zaugg’s smile became.
The darker Chen Youhua’s complexion grew.
