Chapter 166 black magicHuxley reads thoughts through psychometry, and Todd uses tracking skills to track down the owner of the thoughts.
“This isn’t exactly how to use a skill, so I don’t know how far I can track it.”
The place they pursued their thoughts was the canyon, which could be said to be the base of the Red Brigade.
Of course, it is now a ruined place.
Numerous bodies were piled up in the innermost part of the canyon. Conditions were similar to those seen in the mines.
It stinks, but there is no blood, and it is dry like a mummy.
“You crazy! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a monster attacking only inhabited villages.”
The monsters Dior knew had similar behavior to beasts. They form a group and have a territory. So, once an area was set, there was no movement.
“It’s not just a monster, it’s an intelligent body. It is especially dangerous for intelligent beings who use black magic.”
Yun Tae-seong was almost in ruins due to the battle, but he inspected a fairly large village.
“It’s not an ordinary town.”
“Wasn’t it a base for mercenaries or demon bandits?”
Dior also agreed with Yoon Tae-sung.
If you were a mercenary or a demon band, you must have a weapon. However, there were no weapons or ammunition in the village.
Huxley read thoughts again as psychometry. After that, I created thoughts like images through Illusion.
There was also a strange looking skull in black.
Tae-seong Yoon was also the first kind of skeleton he had ever seen.
Todd designated the skeleton that he saw in his thoughts again and attached a mark for the tracking skill.
‘Everyone…
It could have been a magician, but it would be much better to burn and become a Buddha than to live as someone’s slave as a dead person.
Yoon Tae-seong used chloride to burn a pile of corpses like an altar.
They were obviously dead, but they screamed as if they were alive.
What would you do if your soul was hanging like a demon in your already dead body?
“Awful!”
I didn’t know that the dead would scream as they burned. The sound was truly terrifying, horribly horrifying.
It’s like watching a horror movie with evil spirits by yourself.
‘This guy must be really caught and killed.’
They started chasing thoughts again.
Transformed into a banshee, the warlock felt his corpses disappear again.
At first, I thought, ‘It could be!’
Because we can’t lose the ghouls we continue to create with black magic.
‘How can I only find the place where I made the ghouls?’
I don’t know how they did it, but it was clear that these guys were pursuing them.
He definitely thought it was ‘these guys’ and not ‘this guy’. I wouldn’t be able to dispose of all those corpses alone.
If you look at the town that was attacked after the canyon, you’ll know for sure.
He first moved Calomiscus.
He looked at his strong, corpse army. These are the ‘undead ones’.
Ghouls and more advanced skeletons, from the red scorpions they ride to and the Prinosoma lizards.
This was enough force to hold a really small city in its grasp.
-good! Go find them!
Hundreds of rats began to move at his command.
He’s not a bad-headed, stupid guy. He was a cunning and intelligent intelligence.
Although there were as many as the army, he had no intention of fighting openly against those who were quite strong.
– Heh heh heh! Good materials will find their way into the mouse hole.
Even the same human beings had different materials to make them into ghouls.
Awakeneds were much stronger than normal gnomes when they were resurrected as ghouls under the influence of magical powers.
If they evolve into Skeletons and Banshee, they can be said to be warriors.
Makes the power of lightning like a spider’s web. As the magic power increases, the range increases.
Dozens of rat cubs as big as pickaxes were hit by the lightning shock and disappeared.
The 7 people were very good at teamwork.
Put Dior at the forefront and attack while firmly defending his position.
-Wind Smash
Several skills came out, but the most effective skill to get rid of rats was Lightning Shock.
The strength of the rats was that they were not strong, but there were a lot of numbers, because Lightning Shock was an attack with strong destructive power and a wide range.
It sounds obvious, but everything is in direct proportion. Lightning Shock actually consumes a lot of magic power compared to its power. So I couldn’t really say that it was a good skill.
It is only useful in this case.
Yoon Tae-seong threw a magic potion at the person. If you drink the potion, the magical power consumed by the action of the potion is quickly refilled.
The recovery potion recovers stamina exhausted from long battles.
‘Is this really… crazy?’
Dior thought that the potion’s effect was a really deceptive item.
As a healer position, he was also very competent in battle. Because they also received tactical training, I could see how well Tae-Sung Yun fights.
Holding a dagger with the power of lightning, he simply stabbed and cut the rat that attacked from the rear and killed him.
“Why are there so many rats in the desert?”
There were already three raids.
“It’s like they know where we’re going and they’re attacking?”
“I think I noticed the chase.”
“Isn’t it too dangerous to keep chasing you? It’s never good for him to do what he wants.”
After a long time, Todd also agreed with Huxley.
“Maybe he is waiting for a trap in the village he has already attacked?”
Ambush and then raid is like the most basic textbook of military tactics. Although it was the Three Kingdoms, it was a very basic and common sense content that even a little reader could understand.
“Isn’t this just the rat territory?”
Or you could think like this.
Since this is the realm of Kalomiscus, it could attack passersby.
“That’s not right.”
Yoon Tae-sung was sure.
“The rats usually cluster around the boss. If the boss moves, it moves accordingly. I don’t think we’ve ever been attacked so many times.”
Follow the boss and attack at once. There has never been a case of such a dispersed movement.
That is, in this case, it is artificial.
“The warlock must have moved the rats to find out about this place.”
It meant that he was a very cunning and intelligent intelligent being. He’s a guy who can run away if he thinks he’s at a disadvantage.
After all, such a guy can attack the village and create ghouls, gradually strengthening his power.
“First of all, let’s go to the destination while tracking down, look at the situation and judge.”
It was a small radar that could detect a radius of 10 km, and this distance was sufficient for land warfare.
You can see the rat cubs moving, and if you go near them, you’ll know if they ambush with their corpses.
The place he arrived using the tracking skill was a place where the desert mercenaries seemed to reside.
The rear was blocked, and the barriers were broken in several places.
The body was also piled up in one place, and the condition was the same as what we had seen so far.
“Get ready.”
This time we did not use psychometry for tracking. Because he already knew the fact that there were too many monsters on the hill.
“Huh… does this really work?”
Huxley asked with a worried expression.
In his hand was a potion shining orange, a holy potion.
In addition, Tae-Sung Yoon used some of the items stored in the subspace.
Dior picked up the shield Aegis, and lent the flame spear to the Awakener with the fire attribute.
A dagger of lightning for those who use Kinesis, and a Cleaver of Storms for those with enhanced properties!
On the other hand, Tae-Sung Yoon picked up an anti-material sniper rifle.
“The effect is not certain. You will never turn into a zombie.”
Darkness came out of the ring and turned into a raven of death. It flew quickly through the air and climbed up the hill.
‘There are a lot of strange items.’
It’s the same with potions, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a crow that just came out. Dior’s party looked at the steel crow strangely.
Yoon Tae-seong tried to find the one who used black magic through the crow’s eyes.
“The number is quite large, isn’t it? Red scorpions have flame lizards.”
The swarm of rats that surrounded the village was no big deal.
Yoon Tae-seong said there were quite a few, but the actual army was quite large.
There were over 100 ghouls and skeletons alone, and if you add the red scorpion and lizard they are riding on, you have to deal with nearly 300 monsters.
“Use a gun . . . .”
Tae-Sung Yoon said one of the most unusual things.
“Crazy… ghouls use guns?”
“The shield’s shield is quite strong.”
If the shield’s defense and the Awakening’s magic defense are enough, you’ll be able to deal with the enemy while blocking enough bullets.
‘That’s him!’
Behind the center of the swarm, a strange black bastard was seen riding on the head of a giant worm. However, it was not a skeleton that I saw through thought, but a strangely all black banshee.
‘It was definitely getting stronger as it absorbed human life force.’
“Then… focus on defense and face it. I catch and kill the black magician who is the leader of them.”
“Damn, there are too many numbers!”
Huxley said looking up the hill.
Finally, they showed up, and the number was different from Tae-seong Yoon’s words, ‘Are there a lot of them?’
“It will be enough to stop it. Use the potion well.”
Taeseong Yoon disappeared and hid there using Invisible and Blink.
It then moved quietly and took a position on the hill on the enemy’s side.
Aimed at the guy riding the worm with the scope of the anti-material sniper rifle.
‘I don’t know if Maybe… it’s possible.’
The Fury of Holy attacks by concentrating the power of the Holy Spirit like a spear.
Use this to attack
If it fails… well, I’ll have to fight it myself.
– Fury of Holy
The power created by the skill wrapped the bullet through the mana core.
Bullets were fired with a roar.
Your opponent will probably get the bullets before the sound.
With minimal recoil, I looked at him again with the scope… the bullet didn’t hit his head properly.
The sniper skills are definitely there.
He was dodging a bullet at supersonic speed.
‘Is that great? Do you want to be level 6?’
Maybe that’s enough to have a sense of avoiding bullets at supersonic speed?
He looked at Yoon Tae-sung.
Putting the sniper rifle back into the subspace, he called the Iron Crow.
The crow turns into black clouds.
It was made with a single great sword.
Against him, a large and heavy weapon like an axe is less effective. So, after a long time, I held the sword in both hands.
Watching the gigantic worm it was riding on, the white rhino was also clamoring for a fire of wariness.
I’ve already seen a lot of human weapons that use bullets. The sense of avoiding this speed was sufficient.
The problem was the properties of the magical power felt from the bullet.
It was a power that could be called the opposite of black magic.
‘Maybe there are people here who believe in that crazy divinity?’
I never thought that there are people who believe in mana in a place like this where there is no mana.
A pseudo-cult that believes in the deity of the Great King! It is the only one among the beings with a Godhead, and it is a fanatical group of people who have formed a religion.
Black magic can also be said to be similar because it can be used by borrowing the power of a demon king with a divine nature.
‘Those crazy cults who believe in King Asura have already been wiped out and disappeared.’
They were defeated in the Shinma War a long time ago and disappeared from the world. However, that power was manifested here in a completely different world.
