33 The Legion of Monsters (4)
The Imperial University Tower that exists in the heart of the capital Hubris.
A large number of people were currently gathered in the practice magic practice field, which boasts the largest capacity in such a tower.
People who do not seem to have anything in common because they are all different in appearance, gender, and age.
No, there was only one thing in common.
All of them are professors who teach students at the university tower.
“ What happened all of a sudden… … .”
One such professor, Gadner, looked at the other professors standing there, just as puzzled as himself.
“ Do you know why we got together?”
“ Well. Because I only know that the Lord Matthew has called me… … .”
“ Did something important happen? It’s not the first time Top-Joo has gathered all the professors like this, except for an annual event.”
“ So that’s it. In the first place, you would tell me the reason, but this time there is nothing like that.”
The other professors nodded as if they agreed with Gadner.
I couldn’t understand why they had to cancel all lectures and call them back.
Not even in a group meeting room, but in a practice magic practice room.
“ But don’t you feel strange magic from the ceiling?”
At the words of one professor who pointed his finger upwards with a questionable expression, the eyes of the other professors also turned to the ceiling.
“ For sure… … I can feel a strange magic that I can’t usually feel.”
“ Is it possible that the reason you were called here has something to do with that magical power?”
“ One more detail… … .”
It was a moment when the curiosity of the professors who looked at the ceiling like that grew.
“ I think that’s all there is to it.”
With an old-fashioned voice, Mahatap Lord Ahmad Ozrima appeared in front of them.
bum bum, bum bum.
Ahhamad slowly walks in front of the professors with eyes that cannot detect any emotion.
But Ahmad was not alone.
Behind him, the blood wizards and his direct disciples were chasing after him.
“ Top Lord, may I ask why you have called us?”
“ The wizards in the back… … .”
The professors asked him with questioning eyes, but Ahmad opened his mouth quietly without answering the questions.
“ Let’s start right away.”
bang!
The door to the practice area closed with a loud sound.
And that moment.
Gadner and other professors were able to understand what the strange magic was felt from the ceiling.
Whoa ah ah ah!
It was a magic circle.
A magic circle that is large enough to cover the entire ceiling and at the same time emits a strange red light.
“ What is that… … !”
Because it was the first magic circle he had ever seen in his life, questions and bewildered voices came out of Gadner’s mouth.
Finally, the magic circle’s light was at its peak.
next moment.
Gadner could see.
aah!
The scene where the professors on either side of him turn into monsters in real time, and the tuqua and the glare!
The blood mages who shoot pre-prepared magic at such monsters.
and,
————!
The white flame that erupted from the archmage who looked at it all with blazing eyes covered the entire field of vision.
* * *
Acelis Basin.
It was a terrain that existed in the outer part of the Isis Mountains in the northern part of the Empire.
On top of such a basin was a large temple of unknown origin.
A temple that looks like it was carved out of a huge rock.
It was also the place where the current monster king Horable stayed.
Ordinarily, Horable enjoyed sitting on the floor of such a temple and meditating.
Then it seemed that an unknown power was transmitted from the floor.
However,
“… … What are you doing?”
Now he was neither sitting on the floor nor contemplating.
Standing upright on both legs, he looked at the far end of the basin.
Those reflected in the eyes of such horror were none other than human beings.
The human legion of the steel fortress, which had been blocking his advance to the continent, was emerging under the slowly rising sun.
“ Are you crazy?”
Horrible’s eyes that are dyed with doubt.
It was a scene that was really hard to understand.
It’s because they were human beings who were stuck in the fortress like rats without ever coming out until now.
Even then, wasn’t he weak enough to be in a hurry to block it?
‘ But throwing away the advantage of a fortress and having a head-to-head confrontation? Even in a state where the power was reduced due to yesterday’s raid?’
Did you even give up?
If it was intended to outwit Horable himself, it was a success.
Because I didn’t expect it at all.
But it meant nothing.
Because simply changing the time and place didn’t change anything.
“ After all, you must be guessing that tomorrow night will be the last… … Before that, I’d like to try to rebel.”
After muttering like that as if he had finally understood, Horable looked at the Wyverns flying in the sky.
He was basically arrogant, but at the same time tried to be prudent.
That’s why he had always spread reconnaissance troops around the garrison.
– Kyeek!
As if recognizing his gaze, the Wyverns cried out.
That cry meant that nothing existed around here except for the humans who appeared over there.
A smile spread across Horable’s lips.
How can I not be happy when prey has come to me at my feet?
As if assimilated by the monster king’s emotions, the monsters around him also begin to snort with their excited eyes.
The atmosphere that naturally elevates with him.
thud! thud! thud!
Some monsters could not stand the excitement and were rolling to their feet.
“ Yeah, since you’ve worked so hard to come here, it’s probably right for us to meet you from now on.”
With that muttering, the monster king lightly raised his hand upwards and waved it, croup!
The monsters who had stood in disorder until now began to line up as if they were forming a corps.
The moment all sorting ends so quickly,
“ Tread them all.”
Finally, the corps of monsters moved with the low-pitched voice of horror.
Kwaa!
The monsters start running madly towards the 7th Corps, covering every basin with screams that fill the sky.
At the footsteps of such monsters, the whole earth begins to vibrate as if an earthquake had occurred.
Had he already predicted that Horable himself and the monster corps would come out like this?
“ Ready!”
It’s sloppy!
Agnes VII Corps did not advance any further on the spot, and built a wall with a large shield forward.
And the long spears that shoot sharply between those shields.
A special shield made of wizards’ chant begins to cover it again.
A formation specialized in blocking the enemy’s charge.
As if the elite corps was not an illusion, there was no gap in the combination.
However,
Aww!
Such a formation was shattered at once by the five-horned rhinoceros unit, which was at the forefront of the monster corps.
From the beginning, the rush of the monsters was not at a level that the soldiers could accept, even if they received support.
“ aah!”
“ Get a secondary shield formation!”
“ Stop it somehow!”
The 7th Legion tried to re-establish the formation, but to no avail.
A legion of human beings that quickly break through and lose momentum.
species.
In the first place, there was an insurmountable species difference between humans and monsters.
It just crushes rocks with its grip and breaks trees with one kick.
The power of monsters that cannot even be compared with humans!
Nevertheless, it was not the mainstream of the world only because it was not united and intelligence was running.
Whoa whoa!
What would happen if those monsters formed a perfect system like humans and created an army under control?
Now the results were being revealed to the world.
The monsters that move without stopping, never disturbing the initial formation, even as they rage.
In front of them, the human legion, which could not even use the fortress’s waterborne weapons, had no choice but to be pushed like crazy.
“ But doesn’t it fall apart all at once?”
A laughing voice came out of Horable’s mouth, sitting on top of a giant monster resembling an elephant and looking down at the scene.
annihilation.
It was the ending that had already been decided, and it was the ending they had brought about themselves.
Still, it was really funny to see him resist so desperately.
“ The more you do, the greater your despair.”
When the murmuring monster king’s eyes bend,
“Take out the 3rd and 6th squads from the monsters that came in first, and let the rest of the wizards attack the monsters from the back so that they don’t get caught!”
Jornan, the commander of the 7th Corps on the other side, was giving orders frantically.
His face contorted with urgency and bewilderment.
‘ How long… … .’
With that thought in his mind, the conversation he had with Prince Zion last night came to mind.
– When the battle starts, make a gap in the back.
– What do you mean by gap?
– Continue to pretend to be pushed and pull it forward. And hold on.
What on earth was Prince Zion thinking when he gave these instructions?
Of course, if the 7th Legion’s power was the same, it could hold on for a while against the Monster Corps.
It was only necessary to proceed in the form of the front row holding up and the wizards firing artillery fire from the rear.
However,
‘ This is only possible if the ‘front row’ endures to the end.’
As long as it has already been drilled through, no matter how high-level knights and wizards were, it had to be very difficult to endure.
The only good thing was that it was naturally pushed backwards without even being aware of it.
‘ If you go like this… … .’
Jornan’s eyes were getting darker.
His eyes then turned to the being sitting on the giant elephant beast.
A human-like creature with pale blue skin and purple eyes.
It must have been the first existence he had ever seen, but the moment he saw it, he knew at once that it was the Monster King Horable.
Even though it was not moving at all, it had an incredibly strong presence scattered all over the place.
If even that monster was moved, the annihilation of the Legion would be just a matter of time.
“ Sir Zion, where are you and what are you doing?”
The commander murmured in a resentful voice towards Sion, who was watching this place with the 7th Corps’ elite knights from somewhere.
Was it wrong to believe in his words that another corps on our side had already arrived?
wow!
“ No, stop!”
“ Ouch!”
Now, even at this moment, the strength of the corps continued to decrease.
Now that I can’t stand it any longer.
Plus,
Dedede!
The King of Monsters, who had been standing still, was also preparing to move.
The despair that dwells in Jornan’s eyes.
‘ I will pay for all your sins in the underworld.’
His final determination is young in his eyes as he looks at the soldiers.
Finally, it was the moment when the elephant-shaped monster carrying the King of Monsters lifted off its huge front paws.
“ Kyahahahaha!”
A high-pitched laughter echoed loudly throughout the battlefield.
Unknowingly, the eyes of people and monsters turned toward the back of the corps of monsters from which the sound was heard.
What they see in their eyes is a red-eyed woman with musical instruments scattered all over the place.
It was Riosina.
She smiles as if she is enjoying her gaze on herself.
big… … !
Before the monsters around him even reacted.
Liusina lightly grabbed her outstretched hand.
That moment,
Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hundreds of monsters that existed around her all turned into blood and exploded in all directions.
A battlefield that instantly and quietly subsides at the overwhelming sight of that thrill.
However,
Kirik!
What the 1,000-year-old witch showed was just the beginning.
All the blood dripping to the floor with the sound of rough scratching on the blackboard stopped in the air.
Then they huddled together and created a blood-colored door that was enormous.
Hell’s Gate.
An iron gate that is so creepy and bizarre that the moment you see it, you can think of it in everyone’s mind.
Wow!
Then the door slowly opened on both sides,
Kia aah!
Crackle!
From there, countless handshakes began to creep out.
from hundreds to thousands.
from thousands to tens of thousands.
Handshakes that continue to crawl out and form a corps just like the monsters.
forces of evil.
One of Riusina’s final powers, which was specialized in large-scale warfare and massacre rather than person-to-person, was once again appearing in the world by borrowing the blood of other beings.
At the dinner that will soon begin, the witch’s eyes are colored with joy.
“ Eat them all.”
The moment her voice resounds through the silent battlefield,
aa
The army of handshakes began to clash with the army of monsters with bizarre cries.
and then,
“ From now on, we will drill the center.”
At the top of the basin, Sion, who was watching the scene where the monster corps was divided back and forth with the most elite knights, opened his mouth with a coldly shining eye.
