Episode. 06 Crisis at Snowfall (1)
“Kieek!”
He cut off the rotten lump of flesh.
Unpleasant sensation through the hands. And the disgusting smell always haunted me.
if. What if I didn’t get the Snow King set?
I might have been frightened like an idiot and sat down.
That would also be true, because the villagers watching this battlefield were also busy emptying their stomachs.
“Protect the village! Don’t let any of them go!”
Aaron brandished his spear and shouted.
The knights of Battenga would never be attacked by these undead.
I erased my worries about the knights and focused on the enemies in front of me.
damn-
Snow King’s chill, which seemed to freeze everything, raged with my mana as fuel.
Frost settled on the bodies of the undead close to me.
‘These guys are small puppies.’
I cut off the head of the corpse and glared at the forest.
A very unpleasant aura emanated from there.
It feels much more authentic than that of King Seol, a degenerated fairy.
‘It might be a high-ranking undead, or in the worst case, a demon.’
I wanted to deny it, but it was very likely one of the two. This level of magic wasn’t at the level that ‘perverted’ people could have.
‘Why did this happen?’
At this point, nothing should have happened to Snowfall.
At most, it must be to the extent that a few weak monsters attack.
‘First, resolve the situation.’
I kept getting up and brushing off my thoughts. That was something I could think about later.
– Kwyiik… … !
The corpse of a pig’s head attacking. Slashed an Orc undead.
The cut section freezes in an instant.
The battlefield was on the way to finding some stability. Even with the exception of Aron, the knights of Battenga are talented enough to go anywhere.
However, their expressions were not good, probably because they felt the vicious demons getting closer and closer.
“Are there any injured!”
Let’s call it the first wave.
About 30 bodies have already been sorted out. I caught my breath and checked to see if anyone was injured.
The lower undead we dealt with were like zombies. The moment they get bitten, they become the same undead.
Fortunately, thanks to the knights’ efforts, no one was infected.
“Wow!”
At that moment, the residents cheered.
“Thank you for watching over us!”
As if everything is over.
Among them, there were people who looked at me with envious eyes.
‘It’s not over yet.’
Then Aaron came over to me.
“Brother, evacuate with them.”
“no. This is the only village that exists around here. If you lead them and run away, you will fall behind.”
He had the option of leaving them behind and retreating, but it was absolutely impossible.
“What can I do now… … .”
My calmed mind tried to think of a solution somehow.
what do i have now
Four lesser knights and one intermediate knight of Battenga.
What is the remaining faith?
Even if you add up what came in today, the situation is insufficient enough to be called hopeless.
‘The only promising option is… … .’
short time.
In the few tens of seconds, countless options popped up and then subsided.
And I’m done judging.
“merry!”
“yes yes!”
“This is not the time to be liking it! Do what you have to do!”
The confused look on her face gradually hardened.
So did the residents.
I felt it now. The Magi that oppresses them.
goofy and sleazy. Something like a pitch-black fog was approaching right in front of me.
thud-!
Something was revealed in the middle of the giant trees that were cut down and fell.
“It’s a giant, damn it.”
I spat on the floor and frowned.
It was a knight in a mucous armor covered in blood.
A pitch-black skull was placed where his neck should have been.
“… … Death Knight.”
An advanced undead equipped with 6-star power.
Should I say it’s fortunate that I’m not a demon?
Behind him, 15 undead were pouring fierce demonic energy. They were also mid-level undead.
Four low-ranking knights and one middle-ranking knight were outnumbered and outnumbered.
The thump-, the Death Knight’s eyes stomped and pointed directly at me.
The demonic energy he exuded was so unsightly that the ground around him was stained dark.
“Are you the one who gave off a dirty aura! Following Crombell-sama’s orders, I’ve come to cut your head!”
Crombell.
The name the Death Knight had spoken was something I knew.
It was one of the three liches that came over from the demon realm.
They are not ordinary liches, but demons who play an important role in the Pandemonium.
He muttered a low-pitched curse.
The reason I was attacked by the undead out of nowhere. That question has now been resolved.
Faith and magic are compatible with each other.
If so, the demons would have a keen sense of faith.
It seemed that the faith that spewed from the battle with King Seol touched their hearts.
It was then.
Kwak-!
Death Knight quickly closed the distance and swung his sword.
Thanks to not letting go of the tension, I managed to stop it.
“Kuk!”
I couldn’t stop the shaking inside my body. The moment the sword collided with that guy, the demonic energy flowed in through the sword.
Aside from the pain, an unpleasant feeling came over me as if I had swallowed a bowl of filth.
“Do, young boy!”
Unfortunately, the knights had no time to care about me. The rest of the undead started to attack.
In an instant, a melee broke out again.
Among them, the Death Knight only aimed at me.
He deflected the sword aiming at his neck and let it slip away. I counterattacked right after, but I couldn’t even reach his body.
‘I don’t like the opponent very much.’
Death Knight was different from Snow King.
He doesn’t have the same defensive power as King Seol, but his long-honed swordsmanship and strong body are the kind that I have a hard time dealing with.
It felt like I was fighting a really high-ranking knight.
‘There… … The quality of magic is too high.’
The magic that the Death Knight constantly spilled was different from ‘deteriorating’. Even if I put my faith on the sword and collide with it, the one that gets eaten is mine.
It will only lose in the battle of match.
“specialty ? Super concentrated activation.』
But I had to persevere. In any case, what I needed right now was faith.
◈ ◈ ◈
“We are done!”
The villagers shouted in terror, as if they had never cheered.
bang!
The Death Knight’s great sword split the ground.
Richard, who managed to avoid it, opened up the distance without even having time to counterattack.
But in an instant, his swordsman pursued him. Even though he barely blocked it, Richard had no choice but to roll on the ground.
Residents watching the scene fell into despair.
The case of the Baron of Hessen was even worse.
“me… … keep me You stupid soldiers!”
He sat down with his legs weak and called out to the soldiers. The dignity of nobility has long since been abandoned in front of fear.
“Hey, what the hell is this all about! Why are the f*cking undead raiding this place!”
As the nobleman was terrified, the people of Snowfall fell into even greater fear.
“Pray everyone! We must give the young master the power of God!”
Then Mary’s sonorous voice rang out.
She, too, was terrified and withdrawn, but there was conviction in her voice as she cried out with difficulty.
If you pray with a sincere and devout heart, the god you worship will help you.
“A merciful God will save us!”
Mary, who had shouted that, was about to open her mouth.
Jjaak-
Baron Hessen, losing his temper, slapped Mary on the cheek.
“noisy! Looking for a god in a situation like this, even stupidity is enough! It wasn’t even funny in the first place. If there is a God, this shouldn’t have happened in the first place!”
He continued to say that finding God was a delusion of grandeur and a mental illness.
Baron Hessen needed someone to vent his anger on. As a mental refuge to forget this fear.
As the eyes of the villagers focused, the baron shouted as if everyone could hear them.
“We are all going to die here! damn it! That idiot came here and got me caught up in it too!”
Baron Hessen, whose eyes are already blind, and who does not know what he is talking about.
From noble mtl dot com
Mary, who had to see it right in front of her nose, would have burst into tears in fear normally, but
aww-
now i have sharpened my teeth
Hessen’s words touched her heart.
“Did you tell the young master that you are doomed?”
Merry reached out and pointed to the battlefield and said.
“Look at that! When you, wearing the coat of arms of nobility, are peeing… … !”
Richard was facing the Death Knight with blood all over his body.
Although the ultra-concentrated special was activated to the maximum, that alone could not completely avoid the Death Knight’s attack.
The other knights are also fighting a tough fight.
“The young master and the knights are fighting monsters like that.”
Mary bit her lip.
It was lamentable that Shindora was unable to do anything.
She always had one question.
Why did Bocchan, who usually hated the cold, come to a place like this?
As this is our first outing in two years, there must be many better tourist spots.
And that mystery was solved when Snowfall was attacked by the undead.
“How can you see such a noble heart and say such stupid things… … !”
Richard came here by receiving a revelation from God.
Knowing that a big crisis would come to this village, he came to protect the residents.
Merry looked at the bloodied Richard and prayed.
‘Oh God. Please give me strength too!’
That was the moment.
If she had been able to see this system window, she would have made a dumbfounded noise.
“A believer? Mary, meets the minimum evangelist qualifications.』
『Speciality – Learning Halo (E).』
“ah… … .”
The noise of the battlefield ceased. A halo that illuminated the surroundings was emanating from her.
“Nice, Mary.”
Cool. Richard muttered after spitting out blood. Soon, he too squeezed out his faith, shining a halo just like Mary.
“God proved it through her! please believe me You fools!”
“Ah, for poor us he has sent down a halo! Let’s all pray!”
He and Mary shouted almost simultaneously.
Did that earnestness work?
“please… … Please save us!”
“Oh God!”
Some of the residents began to join hands, and soon faith spread.
『Prayer from Freea… … .』
『A prayer from Roman… … .』
“From Hanson… … .』
The system window filled Richard’s field of vision.
At that moment, the Death Knight swung his sword at him who showed a loophole.
but.
Get the card-!
Richard’s sword, soaked in light, blocked his attack.
Despite receiving prayers, the match fight was inferior.
Little by little, the light was chipped away at Magi.
The magic of a 6-star Death Knight was just too much for the faith of a small village.
‘As expected, this isn’t enough.’
Now, residents are praying as ordinary people, not believers.
The maximum amount of Faith that could be obtained per person was only 30.
In the end, the total faith is about 1,000.
‘If you fail, you die.’
Richard swallowed dryly.
Now I had to throw the dice.
While everyone watched with bated breath, he raised all faith.
Paaa-!
A bright light bloomed from all over his body, and slowly began to converge on the back of his hand.
In the form of forcibly pushing into the regular hexagonal mark on the back of his hand.
The ‘imprint’ that absorbed the light was twisted little by little.
At the same time, a system window popped up in front of his eyes.
『The Divine Interference of Imprints.』
Soon after, when Richard had pushed all his 1,000 or so beliefs in.
『Temporary imprint unlocked.』
『One sword star (劍星) – Forced activation.』
The light exploded.
