Episode 89

“Why don’t you stop hiding and come out?”

Wow.

They attack first and then even ignore us.

What rotten bastards.

“H-hyung?”

“Everyone fall back behind me.”

The power to shatter Ingrid’s shield in one blow while concealing their presence.

The support team level can’t handle this.

【Are you alright?】

“They weren’t even aiming for me.”

The Armed Zombie Enhanced formed ranks.

Minions I hadn’t modified.

I also called out Zaugg who dwelt in the Armed Zombie Warrior.

【Thief. Throw your body to protect our Lord.】

“If even a hair on Master gets hurt, I won’t let it slide.”

【Hiiiiik!】

Clang clang clang!

The moment Zaugg was startled, several daggers came flying.

The blades were painted pitch black, making them hard to see.

If not for Heavenly Martial Body, I wouldn’t have noticed them coming.

Clang!

Three daggers caught in the longsword’s trajectory bounced away.

The remaining attacks were blocked by the Armed Zombie Warrior’s armor.

【The terrain favors the attackers.】

Half-collapsed buildings.

The Fallen Ones focused on close combat, so they were easy to subdue.

The attackers’ situation was different.

Look at them hiding between buildings and probing with daggers.

Guerrilla tactics, is that it?

“Ingrid.”

“Leave it to me.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Lightning X 3]

[Wind Bomb X 3]

[Transformation – Release]

Crackle!

Blue lightning split into countless tiny pieces and spread in all directions.

The lethality was almost nonexistent.

Instead, the range became tremendously wide.

Lightning fragments covered 1/3 of the [Fallen Ones’ Nest] Gate.

Tick! Ti-ti-tick!

People began revealing themselves one by one where static electricity occurred.

【Did she scatter lightning to use for reconnaissance?】

“Assessing enemy numbers comes first.”

【A sound judgment.】

【My lords! There are quite a few of them!】

Ten total.

They wrapped their entire skin in black clothing.

Gender, age, and such.

They concealed every criterion that could identify who they were.

【Six men. Four women.】

How do you know that?

【Their distinctive body shapes cannot be completely hidden.】

Sir Isra added that unless they covered all curves like full plate mail.

It’s more amazing that you can tell just by glancing.

“Hunter Park Min-ho. We have a proposal for you.”

“Take the hand of the People’s Republic of China.”

“Then we’ll spare your life at least.”

A neutral tone.

Their voices echoed as if several people were speaking in succession.

How ridiculous.

My answer is already decided.

“Eat this.”

A carefully extended middle finger.

What?

China?

Not only did they get caught tailing me, but now they’re even attacking?

“Go die. Why would I follow you guys?”

“You refuse the wine of persuasion and choose the wine of punishment.”

“You have no choice.”

“Die, or embrace the bosom of a great nation.”

The sincerity was slightly lacking.

I extended my idle left hand forward.

And raised my third finger straight up.

Indeed, twin swords and twin pistols, and twin middle fingers are the truth.

“You can remove limbs. Just keep them breathing.”

“Understood.”

The Chinese Hunters in pitch-black clothes and masks began to act.

* * *

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chinese Hunters leaping over buildings here and there, closing the distance.

The Hunters in the rear took out magic staffs.

[Bless]

[Lesser Strength]

[Resist Up]

With accumulated buffs, the attackers’ movements became more agile.

Crackle!

Crack-crackle!

Even while flinching from the lightning scattered in the air.

They moved in zigzags while maintaining abnormal speed.

Agile movements that gave little opportunity to attack.

“They’re not C-rank Hunter level!”

“Hyung! These guys are weird!”

The support team screamed.

【Each individual’s specs are slightly below Knight Order Members.】

The enhanced Armed Zombie Warrior’s specs are B-rank Hunter level.

Slightly below means stronger than max-level C-rank, but slightly weaker than B-rank Hunters.

“No need to keep them breathing.”

“I’ll finish them off with full power.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Fireball X 4]

[Wind Bomb X 3]

[Transformation – Release]

The same transformation technique used to scatter lightning.

The result was quite different.

Kuaang!

Rather than spreading wide like when a single bolt of lightning was dispersed in all directions.

The explosive power within a certain range was maximized.

[Mana Emission]

[Bowling Bash]

Chwahak!

A bright blue light erupted from the explosion’s epicenter.

In an instant, mana was pushed left and right as the Chinese Hunter burst out.

“A technique that could fell even a C-rank boss monster in one hit!”

Don’t be too surprised.

Rather than that.

The problem is using Mana Emission.

A technique that’s practically the symbol of B-rank.

Having learned a skill that requires enlightenment to use.

Was proof that the Chinese Hunters were ‘B-rank’ or higher.

Just as Sir Isra compensated for lacking specs with Mana Emission alone.

Those bastards also demonstrated movements beyond their specs with Mana Emission.

“Witch Coven. Keep them from getting close with restraint.”

[Lightning]

[Wind Cutter]

[Grease]

Blue lightning came rushing in.

Invisible blades swept through.

The friction coefficient of the ground touching their feet changed to 0.

The moment the magic deployed by the Skeleton Mages hit their mark.

[Ring of Protection – Built-in Skill: Reinforce Armor]

[Necklace of Resistance – Built-in Skill: Interference Nullification]

With a green glow, the lightning faded.

The friction coefficient returned to normal.

Chaeng!

Wind Cutter was neutralized by dagger throwing.

“Don’t think you can bind Tourang’s feet with this much.”

Tourang?

It’s a name I’m hearing for the first time.

Since they’ve revealed their affiliation, I guess it doesn’t matter.

I don’t like this.

“Fireball.”

I wasn’t just twiddling my thumbs either.

Predicting the Chinese Hunters’ movements with Heavenly Martial Body.

Adjusting trajectory with Master of Magic.

Like Ingrid did, I threw the fire orb at the optimal angle.

Kwaang!

The fire orb exploded in front of the group of Chinese Hunters.

“Hmph. That’s what you’d expect from a bangz.”

“What are you aiming for?”

Don’t worry.

It hit exactly where I wanted it to.

[Physical Enhancement → Mana Emission]

[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]

[3rd Form – Full Moon]

A flashing blade from the black smoke.

The sneering attacker hastily swung his sword.

Chaeng!

Sparks flew in all directions.

【Fighting with your mouth is a bad habit.】

“Despite lacking power!”

Even with the supreme technique containing the enlightenment of ascension.

Due to specs inferior to an Armed Zombie Enhanced, he couldn’t cut the attacker.

Instead, Sir Isra was slightly pushed back the moment the sword strikes collided.

【Do you truly think so?】

Sir Isra leaning his lower body back as if being pushed.

Ingrid smiled brightly.

“The angle came out pretty.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Lightning X 4]

[Wind Cutter X 3]

[Transformation – Slash]

A blade dyed blue-green while containing lightning came rushing.

[Mana Enhancement]

[Bowling Bash]

Chasing Sir Isra, then forcibly changing posture.

Though he deflected the blue blade with Bowling Bash, a chain impact technique.

Seogeogeok—

One arm fell to the floor.

【Not even screaming. You seem to have received considerable training.】

Sir Isra retreating backward.

A flame spear pierced that spot with a 0.2 second difference.

Though identical to the magic used by the Fallen Necromancer, both destructive power and accuracy were a level above.

“We’re breaking through by force.”

The Chinese Hunter who lost his arm glared at me with bloodshot eyes.

Being popular is also tiresome.

One guy was caught by Sir Isra, but.

The remaining five warrior-type Hunters approached the Armed Zombie Warrior line.

“Draco.”

“Krrr!”

Like dogs let off their leashes, two Dracos rushed in excitedly.

[Mana Emission]

[Needle Thrust]

A needle enhanced with mana dug into Draco’s shoulder.

“Krrrrr!”

The moment Draco growled low and tried to open his mouth.

The Chinese Hunter who retrieved his weapon quickly created distance.

As expected.

They’ve studied my information.

It’s fine.

The information you’ve collected.

It probably needs updating.

[Dead Doping]

[Imperial Axe Technique]

Whooom!

The enhanced strength from doping burst out all at once.

I swung the bone axe I had lifted high into the sky.

Axe technique modified from Imperial Swordsmanship.

Following the passive skill – Monstrous Strength, with Heavenly Martial Body correction added, it was a clean attack at master level.

[Needle Burst]

The blade that collided with the axe blade.

What was pushed back was the Armed Zombie Warrior.

It was the result of mana emission combined with skills.

Crrrack—

In exchange, the Chinese Hunter’s arm was broken.

But compared to the cost of his life, it was cheap.

[Great Heal]

The bone that had protruded above the skin slipped back in.

Look at that healing speed.

【Hah!】

“Graaaah!”

The Armed Zombie Warriors who had been in defensive stance advanced in unison.

【I will protect the great lord!】

Is that really protecting?

It looks like you’re being cautious, but I must be mistaken.

Probably.

Clang! Clang clang!

The Chinese Hunters scattered blue particles as they relentlessly pressed their attack.

Specs that fell just short of B-rank.

With mana emission, they didn’t just close the gap but surpassed it.

The Armed Zombie Enhanced endured with their characteristic toughness.

They accumulated damage with potential burst abilities like [Dead Doping].

[Cure]

[Great Heal]

The supporters in the rear quickly healed the injuries.

The only wound left behind was the arm Sir Isra had cut off.

The Chinese Hunter who lost one arm passively threw only daggers while roaming the battlefield.

His gaze always fixed on me.

If I showed an opening, he’d rush at me like a blade.

“Grrrrr!”

Two Dracos kicked off the wall and leaped.

Speed that didn’t fall behind the Chinese Hunters’ speed and agility!

Their three-dimensional movement was similar to ghouls, their original model.

Just as they were about to run to the rear, avoiding the Chinese Hunters’ offensive.

[Ice Wall]

“Thunk!”

They smashed their heads into the ice wall that sprouted from the ground.

Crack!

The strike enhanced by mana emission split their solid armor.

[Ring of Life – Built-in Skill: Healing]

Whooooom!

The armor was also part of the undead body.

When I breathed life into it, it quickly recovered.

[Accumulated Life Force – 82%]

Did I already use nearly one-fifth?

It feels like pouring water into a bottomless jar.

“I’ll save some life force. It would be better to treat Sir.”

【No. Don’t do that.】

Sir Isra shook his head.

“Maintaining the front line is more important.”

【The Lord’s safety comes first, so please focus on healing the Knight Order Members.】

I see.

If I get captured, it’s immediately over.

Even in a war of attrition, we were at a disadvantage.

With Necrosmith abilities, I couldn’t immediately replenish undead.

The Ring of Life would be useless the moment the accumulated life force ran out.

But it didn’t seem like the Chinese Hunters’ mana would run out before that.

“Bastards. I’ll correct that speech habit of yours.”

Those guys seem to have roughly grasped our situation too.

Wait.

One thought came to mind from my two vassals’ observation.

With this… I might be able to create a variable.
