Episode 40
Then sister Eva turned around and shouted.
“Everybody take a healing potion!”
The people who heard that hurriedly took out a healing potion and drank it.
Healing potions last for a while after taking them.
Also, since there is no side effect like a recovery potion, it was good to drink it in advance to prepare for the monster’s poison.
While the empty potion bottles fell to the floor one by one.
Cranky! Great!
thump thump thump.
The sound of something huge pushing through the forest came close.
“Ugh…”
“They’re all going to die.”
“f*ck! Aren’t you supposed to run away? What are you doing because of a madman?”
“The ruined nobility. You can live.”
The mercenaries trembled in fear and spat out one word at a time.
It was the moment when the terrifying roar reached its peak.
thud!
An ogre flew through a leafy branch and landed in front of the subjugation party.
In his hand was a long wooden pole the thickness of an adult’s thigh.
thud! thud! thud
One after another, three ogres fell to the ground, causing a huge vibration.
bugs!
kill!
go away!
A group of ogres who discovered the subjugation party shouted like a roar and rushed at the subjugation party.
It was then.
With her sword drawn, Captain Luna rushed at the ogre in the front.
At that moment, an amazing sight unfolded.
A milky glow emanated from Captain Luna’s sword, and the length of the sword doubled.
‘That’s right…’
It was the manifestation of external energy, the symbol of master warrior.
Mana is called spirit in the ancient language.
External air is a word that has come down from ancient times and refers to the release of extremely compressed mana beyond the object’s capacity.
Outer air manifestation is a skill that consumes a huge amount of mana, but boasts extreme attack power that destroys everything.
The only thing to stop the outside air was the outside air.
However, there were limitations to external expression.
Due to the nature of the warrior, it was very difficult to eject even though it could emit outside air.
Only a warrior who reached the ninth rank could do such a thing.
Captain Luna jumped over the ogre’s head.
The wooden pole the ogre swung flew toward Captain Luna’s waist.
At that moment, the tip of Captain Luna’s sword, who was looking up at the sky, fell to the ground.
At the same time, her body defied the laws of physics and rapidly fell at a speed that exceeded inertia.
Suaak-
Before the wooden pole could reach Captain Luna, the milky sword cut the ogre in half.
The ogre’s body split in half, splitting in half and falling.
Iron flip.
A huge amount of blood and intestines spilled out onto the floor, exhaling hot steam.
He is a ferocious human!
ferocious human!
The ogres who saw the death of their comrades were frightened and stopped their heavy bodies.
They looked at Captain Luna and the forest behind them, then turned and ran to the side.
“What? Are you running away?”
“As expected, Captain Luna.”
“Are you alive?”
Watching the ogre walk away, the mercenaries spoke in excited voices.
‘no. It’s just the beginning.’
He gripped his shield and mace tightly and prepared for the coming threat.
The mercenaries, made up of skilled policemen, also did not take their eyes off the forest without relaxing.
After a while.
boo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-
The air vibrated terribly, and menacing noises were heard that evoked instinctive fear in man.
Boooung-
why-
Wei Ying-
Soon after, a horde of monsters appeared through trees and bushes.
“Now! Activate the magic!”
At that moment, Hanli called out to the wizards.
As if waiting, the wizards tossed a rolled leather scroll that was about a hand’s length into the air.
As the wizards stretched out their hands, the leather scrolls spread out to the side, giving off a gray glow.
In the blink of an eye, the scrolls were transformed into grains of light and scattered, then quickly formed into geometric patterns that looked like holograms.
‘Magic scroll!’
From noble mtl dot com
I got information about other magic items while talking about talismans with my older sister Eva.
A magic scroll is an item made by inscribing a magic circle with magic stone powder on leather rich in mana.
Magic Scrolls are classified as higher level magic items than Talismans.
Unlike the Talisman, which simply engraves magic spells, the master’s magician’s mana was stored, so the power was strong, and the person who invoked it could manipulate the magic as desired.
The wizards stretched out their hands that were facing the sky.
Then, white smoke spewed out from the magic circle and flew quickly into the forest.
The wizards controlled the smoke by waving their hands in the direction of the swarm of monsters.
As a huge number of monsters flew in, the wizards moved their hands without a break.
‘If you have something like that, you should tell me. Why did you hide it until now?’
Surprisingly, the flight speed of the monsters that passed through the smoke dropped significantly.
The knights must have already known that the monster’s identity was a mutated wasp.
It seemed that he had prepared a magic scroll for that.
‘I guess my sister didn’t know either.’
The moment the magic scroll was activated, Sister Eva’s shoulders trembled.
It’s a strategy that even Eva, who can be said to be the leader, doesn’t know about.
It was a scene that showed how much the knights ignored the mercenaries.
It meant that mercenaries like us should not think about anything and just do as we are told.
“It’s just a low-ranking monster! Kill all monsters before the magic effect ends! Charge the entire army!”
Hanri turned around and shouted loudly and ran to the monster.
He was wearing a helmet and his blindfold was down.
At the same time, the other knights also lowered their blindfolds and followed Han-ri.
Since he was wearing armor mixed with true silver, he would be immune to attacks from mid-level monsters while maintaining his mana.
“”Whoa!””
Following the advance of the knights, mercenaries and independent mercenaries ran with shouts.
I, too, mingled with them and ran as if pushed.
I swung my mace at the monster flying in front of me.
situation in which the melee unfolded.
Showing off his strength moderately, he dealt with the approaching monsters one by one.
The life of the monster that was hit directly by the mace was cut off at once, turned into ashes and scattered into the air.
Everywhere was filled with dust rising from the ground and the ashes of dead monsters.
It was the moment when the subjugation team slaughtered the monsters, but the feeling of uneasiness did not leave my heart.
I was still listening.
The sound of the monster’s wings flapping in the forest did not diminish, but gradually grew louder.
‘not good.’
I turned my gaze and looked at the magic circle floating in the air.
Compared to the first time, the amount of smoke produced was significantly reduced.
Right now, they are fighting an advantageous battle by borrowing the power of magic, but the moment the magic effect disappears, the situation will change.
And not long after, the fearful situation happened.
“Sir Hanli! I can’t keep my magic anymore because I don’t have enough mana.”
After a while you hear the sorcerer’s cry.
The smoke coming out of the magic circle suddenly stopped.
“There are still monsters left! Do your best to maintain magic!”
Hanli urged the wizard in a strong tone.
“Impossible! Lord’s mana has been strengthened and most of the mana has been used. We will step back for now.”
The wizards turned their backs and ran away.
But then.
One of the mercenaries shouted.
“It’s an intermediate level monster!”
Monsters one head taller than the ones they had been dealing with so far began to emerge from the forest all at once.
Unless it is as strong as the steel armor reinforced by a skilled warrior, it cannot block attacks from intermediate level monsters.
In other words, all introductory warriors could face death.
Leader Luna and the knights stood at the front of the subjugation force and were doing their best to fight.
Leader Luna swung her sword so fast that she could not see it and killed the monster.
The place where she was standing was covered with the ashes of monsters.
Nevertheless, the monsters that could not be dealt with flew in and attacked the mercenaries in the back.
Knights wearing armor containing true silver will be somewhat safe from monster attacks even if their mana runs out.
However, the mercenaries in steel armor, even if they were skilled, did not have the ability to withstand the moment their mana ran out.
The mid-level monsters that flew over the leader Luna and the knights finally passed the mercenary group and started attacking the independent mercenaries.
“Ouch! My eyes!”
“Die! You monsters!”
The mercenary’s armor, bitten by a mid-level monster, was ripped off at once.
The monster dug in and gnawed at the mercenary’s body.
The mercenary screamed in pain.
The other mercenary fell as if he had been poisoned by the monster, grabbing his neck.
Demonic spirits flew over the fallen mercenary and mercilessly bit it.
The situation gradually got worse.
However, at that time, several groups of independent mercenaries broke away and disappeared into the forest.
Then, the people who witnessed the scene started to scatter and run away at the same time.
Nearly half of the independent mercenaries have left the ranks.
“Dare! Everyone stay in line! Anyone who escapes will be summarily executed!”
Hanri, who was watching the battle, shouted loudly.
Some of those who tried to escape at his cry hesitated for a moment.
At that moment, a sarcastic voice came from the other side of the forest.
“Damn it! Take off your armor and tell me, bastard!”
“Die now, die later!”
“Go get the wizard!”
At that, all the independent mercenaries ran away into the woods without looking back.
‘If I continue like this, I’ll die too.’
Even if I had better physical abilities than a skilled warrior, I couldn’t block the attacks of mid-level monsters unless I could strengthen my equipment.
It would have been foolish to fight against hundreds of mid-level monsters, if not two or three.
“Mr. Thalia! We’re coming too!”
He threw his shield at the flying monster and shouted at Talia.
It is impossible to take out the subspace pocket and store the shield right now.
Since he chose to run away, the shield was just a heavy burden.
We quickly ran to a place where there were no monsters.
While running, I quickly turned my head and looked behind me.
‘sh*t!’
Was it a problem that he ran away a little later than the others?
Dozens of mid-level monsters came after us.
Fortunately, about half of them scattered along with the nearby mercenaries.
However, with that much luck, it was not possible to escape danger.
The flight speed of the mid-level monster surpassed that of an experienced samurai.
Compared to the introductory warrior, it was more than twice as fast.
“evil!”
As expected, Alana, who was the most behind, collapsed screaming as if she had been attacked by a monster.
“Alana!”
Then Talia and Kate looked back at the same time.
Even though they almost knew they were going to die, they stopped running and ran to Alana.
‘At this rate, everyone will die.’
If I’m alone, I can run away enough.
‘But can I really?’
In a short time, many worries and conflicts passed through my mind.
If you abandon your moral convictions for your own good, you can survive safely.
However, the moment you make such a choice, the rise to the realm will be infinitely far away.
The training of mana simbeop is to grind and polish the soul.
If you can’t understand your own actions, it’s hard to expect any more spiritual growth.
Conversely, if I go out to help Talia’s party, I have no choice but to reveal my abilities.
no.
Even if I did my best, I was also in a dangerous situation.
I made up my mind and immediately acted.
‘Let’s save it.’
Unless you practice alone in the mountains, you will always experience the same dilemma again.
It wasn’t a problem that would end just by avoiding it right away.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t allow myself to abandon Talia and the others and run away.
Even if you do run away, it must be the moment when you couldn’t save Talia’s party despite your best efforts.
‘The number of monsters is six.’
Superior Healing Potion and Greater Healing Potion obtained from Simon.
In addition, the ability of the silver sword and pocket watch.
If we mobilized all our strength, there was a possibility that we could all survive together.
That moment when you truly move where your heart goes, leaving behind gains and losses.
The complexities in my head calmed down and calm came to my heart.
Every time I exhaled, I felt relieved, as if the anxiety that had been suppressed in my chest escaped from my body.
At the same time, I felt a strange sensation that I had never felt before.
‘I can’t believe it was so full of mana.’
Along with the sense of time passing slowly, he recognized an abundance of mana he had never experienced in reality.
The moment when the gradually rising mana sensitivity stopped as if it had reached its limit.
Even though mana simbeop was not operated, mana flowed in like a wave through the strong bow.
The mana that poured down like a waterfall flowed into the Kihae, mixed with the existing mana and condensed into one point.
I realized in that moment.
that he had finally reached the proficiency.
