Chapter 333
Chapter 333
The Engineering Corps, composed of users led by Mist and Sanba-wi as legion commanders.
Their performance exceeded my expectations by far.
“Build it up!”
“There’s a Stone Territory right behind us, so bring materials from there!”
“We’re not stopping here—build it wider, so keep that in mind!”
“Reconnaissance complete! No enemy forces detected yet! We can continue expanding!”
“We’re keeping the Cronion garrison under constant surveillance, so build with confidence!”
Fortifications rising at an astounding pace.
Well, considering the number of production-class users gathered here alone.
It would be strange if the wall-building speed were any slower.
In particular, Lee Chul-geun’s performance was extraordinary—not a legion commander himself, but commanding construction-class users from the front lines and raising the fortifications.
“If he weren’t affiliated with the Heukryeom Guild, I’d scout him on the spot.”
“I agree.”
Mist and Sanba-wi.
Even South Korea’s two top-ranked production-class players were in awe.
I, too, stepped forward instead of resting idle and began assisting with the fortification construction.
[ Noeth’s Mud Clay Staff ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Form: Staff
Grade: Epic
Restriction: Level 600 or higher, Wisdom 2,000 or above
Description: A staff of earth crafted from mud clay imbued with the power of Noeth, a high-ranking earth spirit.
Beyond the lightning magic set and flame magic set, I now equipped the earth magic set.
– Using the 4-Circle earth magic ‘Stone Wall’.
I cast Stone Wall.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Immediately, a stone wall surged up from the ground.
Simply raising a wall wouldn’t fully serve the purpose of a fortification, though.
– Using the skill ‘Construction’.
I possess the Construction skill as well.
And through the All Master ability, my Construction skill level is synchronized with my All Mastery.
My current All Mastery skill level has already surpassed 100.
The synchronized Construction skill level has likewise exceeded 100.
Thus, construction and magic merged together.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Stone Wall magic I cast.
The stone wall rising from the ground took the same shape as the fortifications the Engineering Corps users were building.
“How on earth did you do that?”
“Is it really possible to construct something this precisely using magic…?”
“Impossible.”
“Maybe I should start learning magic from today onwards?”
“Stop it. Using magic itself is already difficult enough—if you tried to use it with that level of precision, your head would explode from the game.”
“But Mir is doing it, isn’t he?”
“Well, that’s because it’s Mir.”
“Ah.”
The users murmured amongst themselves at the sight.
Well, even I could see it was remarkably efficient ‘construction’, but there were clear shortcomings compared to the ramparts the craftsmen had painstakingly built.
Given that.
“I’ll entrust the detailed work to you all.”
“Yes, Commander!”
“Leave it to us!”
I delegated the detailed work to the users and continued raising stone walls.
Thanks to the ‘Earth Attribute Set’, my magic efficiency had improved, and with plenty of mana potions, this method allowed me to expand the ramparts quickly.
Then, for a moment.
I even considered just sweeping away the enemy forces without building the rampart at all.
‘No, that’s too risky.’
On the Battlefield, the existence of ramparts is crucial.
If I don’t properly establish ramparts, I won’t know when or where the enemy will attack from.
The garrison could be caught off guard by a sudden ambush.
And when facing approaching enemy forces, the side with established ramparts holds a far greater advantage.
So even if it takes a bit longer, I intend to build the ramparts as extensively as possible.
Then.
“Enemy forces are approaching!”
“How many?”
“The entire garrison we were monitoring is advancing toward us!”
Cronion had launched a full assault.
Or rather, it was difficult to call it a full assault.
And for good reason.
“They’re not advancing any further?”
They weren’t charging recklessly like before.
Though they still wore Iron Armor Corps equipment, they weren’t forcing their approach. Instead, they seemed to be preparing something from a distance.
Even when I expanded my field of vision, the massive Iron Armor Corps blocked my view, so I was curious about what they were doing.
“Fire!”
With the cry from the Iron Armor Corps.
Boom!
Something was launched.
Its identity was.
“Cannonballs!”
“Deploy defensive magic!”
Shells.
– Using 4th Circle wind magic ‘Wind Wall’.
I immediately erected a defensive spell.
Attacks falling from above couldn’t be blocked by Fire Wall or Stone Wall magic, so despite its slightly inferior defensive power, I deployed Wind Wall to create a barrier of wind.
The other users did the same.
The Sage used defensive magic, the Priest used defensive prayers, and so forth.
Even ranged classes like the Archer attempted to block attacks by sniping the falling shells.
Boom, crash!
“Argh!”
“The barrier!”
“Damn it, we just built that!”
We couldn’t block every shell.
The shells that struck the barrier exploded violently.
These weren’t mere iron projectiles—they were shells filled with gunpowder.
‘Mortars, no less.’
I’d suspected as much upon seeing firearms made of gunpowder.
But as expected, Cronion’s technological prowess extended far beyond rifles.
They were actually using mortars to bombard us from such a tremendous distance.
Their technological capability exceeded imagination.
“Counterattack!”
We couldn’t simply endure this.
Our ranged users attempted to retaliate by firing arrows, but.
Ping!
“Damn, too hard!”
The Iron Armor Corps shielded the mortars with massive barriers.
It was nearly impossible for melee combatants to approach.
The distance was too great—we risked being caught in the barrage while advancing—and gunners waited behind the enemy’s shield bearers.
Their numbers didn’t seem particularly large.
Yet with the mortars’ superior range, they proved quite troublesome to contend with.
Therefore.
“Luke.”
It was my turn to step forward once more.
[ Hellfire Longbow ]
( Non-tradeable )
Type: Bow
Grade: Mythic
Restrictions: Level 500 or higher, Bow Mastery Lv 50 or higher, Strength 1,000 or higher, Agility 1,000 or higher
Description: A colossal longbow forged within the scorching flames of the inferno itself.
A massive longbow, easily exceeding two meters, its surface dancing with hellfire, materialized in my grasp.
For long-range sniping, there’s nothing quite like a longbow.
I could have used Crimson Sniper, but since the Iron Armor Corps was guarding the mortars, direct fire would’ve been useless.
So I pulled out this instead.
A longbow capable of indirect fire.
The moment I drew the bow and aimed skyward, I pulled back the string.
– Using 5-Circle Fire Magic ‘Fire Cannon’.
I infused the arrow with fire magic using Arcane Blade.
– Using Skill ‘Silver Bird Soul Chase’.
Twang!
I released the bowstring.
The arrow soared skyward, trailing scorching flames.
The arrow that had been climbing higher and higher suddenly shifted course like a bird of prey spotting its quarry, plummeting toward the ground.
With a tail of fire trailing behind it, the falling arrow resembled a comet streaking across the midnight sky.
And that arrow.
Thud!
Struck precisely at my intended target.
That target was.
“Damn it!”
“Where the hell did that come from!”
“F-Fire! Put it out, quickly!”
“The ammunition…!”
The enemy’s mortar ammunition stockpile.
The moment the enemy soldiers noticed the flames clinging to the arrow.
Whoosh!
True to its name ‘Hellfire Longbow’, the blazing fire arrow ignited brilliantly.
And the Fire Cannon embedded within unleashed scorching inferno.
The mortar shells, packed with explosives to breach barriers, were triggered by the intense heat.
“No, no, nooo!”
Kaboom!!
They detonated in unison.
As the stacked ammunition triggered a chain reaction, a massive explosion erupted.
The blast was far more powerful than anticipated, completely obliterating the surrounding enemy soldiers and mortars.
But this was only the beginning.
Twang!
Using Luke’s dark vision and the ‘Hawk Eye’ skill, I’d already located every ammunition position.
All that remained.
Was to draw the bowstring.
Arrow after arrow, I drew.
Each time, the flaming arrow soared skyward before diving with perfect accuracy toward the enemy’s ammunition piles.
Boom, boom, kaboom—!!!
Every time a flaming arrow fell, it ignited the piles of mortar shells the enemy had stacked, triggering tremendous explosions.
Refusing to take this lying down, soldiers rushed desperately forward, raising shields above the ammunition heaps to block the incoming arrows.
Seeing this, I
[ Crimson Sniper ]
switched weapons again.
Instead of standard mana stones for ammunition, I loaded flame-attribute mana stones—the Desert’s Mana Stone, the Sun’s Mana Stone, or the Flame’s Mana Stone—all obtained from the Desert.
Twang!
I pulled the trigger.
The bullet streaked in a straight line, tearing through the ranks of enemy soldiers who held their shields up to block the arrows falling from above, and continued its trajectory.
Boom!!
It ignited the ammunition pile, triggering a fresh explosion.
From the enemy’s perspective, it must have been maddening.
Blocking the flaming arrows raining from above made it difficult to defend against the fiery bullets.
Blocking the bullets made it difficult to defend against the arrows.
Focusing solely on blocking arrows and bullets left them vulnerable to attacks and advances from the other players besides me.
Well, whatever choice they made didn’t matter.
Since a considerable number of shells and mortars had already detonated, the enemy could no longer effectively suppress us with their mortar fire.
Though their strategy of advancing behind shields while firing remained formidable.
Still.
“Raaaaaaah!”
“Charge!”
“We’ve got them! We’ve got them! Hahahaha!”
“Just you wait, Iron Armor turtles!”
The momentum had already shifted to our side.
Without their mortars, the enemy could no longer contain us.
We also had a significant numerical advantage.
The Iron Armor Corps was sturdy but slow-moving, so if I simply left them alone, the players would handle the enemy forces themselves.
But then.
‘That one.’
Even in this disadvantageous situation, one soldier from Cronion’s Iron Armor Corps held his shield to block attacks while pulling the trigger.
And among them, one person
Thanks to Luke’s Dark Eyes combined with the Hawk Eye skill, I could see from that distant range one soldier attempting to break from the front lines.
Moreover, not only were the decorations on the iron armor he wore unusual, but even the iron steed he rode was extraordinary.
It was immediately obvious.
That this person was an officer of that place.
So I couldn’t simply let him escape.
Click.
I loaded a mana stone into the Crimson Sniper.
I could handle him in one shot using an Eternal Crystal, but since charging an Eternal Crystal takes time, I saw no reason to waste it.
So instead of an Eternal Crystal, I loaded a high-grade mana stone, of which I had plenty.
Boom!
I fire.
The magic bullet streaks forward in a straight line.
“Ugh!”
It pierces the fleeing commander’s back.
While it wasn’t an Eternal Crystal, the Crimson Sniper itself is a narrative-grade weapon with ‘Hierarchy Assimilation’ applied, and I’m using high-tier magic stones as ammunition—
There’s no way he should survive that.
That armor’s defense is stronger than I anticipated.
But.
Bang, bang, bang!
High-tier magic stones are abundant in Luke’s subspace.
So I rapidly load a fresh magic stone and pull the trigger.
The enemy commander senses the danger and attempts to block the attacks, but realizing he can’t escape this way,
“Block it!”
he orders his soldiers.
I don’t understand what’s good about a commander abandoning his own men to flee.
The soldiers obey, raising their shields to protect their commander from behind.
Each trigger pull sends their shields flying, but there are too many of them.
I have no intention of letting him escape, so despite the waste, I load a ‘supreme-tier magic stone’ and pull the trigger while activating a skill.
– Skill ‘Silver Bird Soul Chase’ activates.
Boom!!
The magic bullet surges forward with tremendous effect, weaving through the Iron Armor Corps soldiers with their shields like a silver bird in flight.
Thud!
“Gahhh!”
It pierces the fleeing commander’s heart.
A shell forged from supreme-tier magic stones combined with a mythic-grade offensive skill.
No matter how sturdy the commander’s armor, it’s impossible to withstand such a devastating attack with flesh alone.
