189 – Decisive Battle (1)
The next day.
The Lord’s Castle of Lartania, which had been briefly noisy in the morning when Shadra and River sneaked into Kim Hyun-woo’s bedroom, quickly regained its peace.
When Merilda had spent her first night in Kim Hyun-woo’s room, the rumor had continued for several weeks, but unfortunately, the rumor did not last that long now.
…Because such things happened quite often in the Lord’s Castle these days.
That’s why the servants, who had been excited at first, were now more like, “Oh, that’s what happened,” and the rumor was just like talking about what happened today, and so were the heroes.
“…Well, I kind of expected it.”
“I realized it was suspicious before I fell asleep yesterday, but I was too embarrassed to stop it.”
“I’m going to win anyway-“
“Wait, are you still seriously thinking that nonsense?”
“Why is it nonsense? I’m serious.”
“Certainly, it’s overconfidence.”
The heroes’ reaction when they heard the rumor that Shadra and River had spent their first night with Kim Hyun-woo was quite bland, and Elena and Aria didn’t react much either.
And Kim Hyun-woo, the person concerned.
“…”
He had a very subtle expression.
Of course, he really didn’t want this situation to be an issue, but he felt a subtle emotion when he saw that the people of the Lord’s Castle were getting used to his scandal.
However, Kim Hyun-woo’s subtle emotion about the attention of the Lord’s Castle didn’t last long. Soon, his face had no choice but to frown.
“My Lord! The black things are coming!”
“…”
The existence of another world had arrived in front of Lartania.
####
The horde of black things that Kim Hyun-woo actually faced was overwhelming to him beyond imagination.
No wonder, just like the place where the angels had come before, the black things flocking from the north of Lartania had an overwhelming number.
“Huh…”
Kim Hyun-woo couldn’t help but laugh in vain as he looked at the enormous number of monsters that seemed to paint the whole world black, even though they were far away.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-!!!!!!
He frowned again at the creepy roar coming from the black things.
The roar, which seemed to be a strange mechanical sound forcibly distorted, evoked a strange sense of fear just by hearing it.
However, more than the black things that had different shapes, Kim Hyun-woo’s gaze was focused on the man and woman at the forefront of the black things.
Sir Lancelot, the jet-black knight with a hole in his heart,
And Arthur, who was walking with a half-sword.
‘…It seems that the black and white Arthur is right…’
Looking at the two of them, Kim Hyun-woo realized that the leader of the black things was the black and white Arthur, just as he had guessed.
The face of the black and white Arthur seen from afar was the same as the one that had been circulating in the community when he had folded Arteil for a long time.
However, the reason why Kim Hyun-woo was making a slightly strange expression was because the black and white Arthur in front of him was strangely different from the Arthur he remembered.
‘…The clothes are strange. The sword is the same.’
The black and white Arthur that he had encountered on the Internet after folding Arteil was literally black and white in his personal color, but he didn’t wear part of his armor like the Arthur he was seeing now, nor did he have a half-sword.
…Moreover, he didn’t have the characteristic of having his shoulder pierced.
Since the same was true for Lancelot, who was mentioned with the black and white Arthur, he thought about the reason for a while and soon shook his head lightly to erase the thought.
Anyway, for Kim Hyun-woo, no matter what the condition of the black and white Arthur was, he was the one he had to deal with in the end.
That’s why.
“Aria?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Don’t summon me now. Just wait a minute.”
“Why?”
“I have something to do first.”
“Well… if you say so.”Hyunwoo Kim stopped Aria, who immediately took out the incense burner, then turned her head and spoke to Shadra and River, who were looking at the black things that were coming in as if they were overwhelmed.
“Are you ready for what I said?”
“Huh.”
“Then let’s fire right away.”
“Okay.”
River and Shadra, who came to their senses at Hyunwoo Kim’s words and nodded, immediately turned around and went down the castle wall.
And after some time.
uuu!
With a resonance so strong that it made the cochlea vibrate, a total of five missiles began to rise from Lartania, and Kim Hyeon-woo smiled as he looked at the missiles.
Even though Kim Hyun-woo knew that the black things were coming, the reason he did not send the heroes and waited until they came close was so that he could shoot the missiles.
The missiles made by River and Shadra could now hit enemies even if they were far away as long as the coordinates were specified, but they were too expensive.
In contrast, as long as the enemy was visible right in front of him, he could save material costs, so Kim Hyun-woo was able to make a total of five missiles by putting all the material costs that would have been used to make fuel into explosives.
Soon, I saw the missile starting to fly far away with a brilliant resonance sound.
“Everyone gather together. “I have a story to tell you.”
We summoned heroes.
When it came time for Kim Hyun-woo to tell the heroes about the plan he had planned in advance.
Kwaaa-!!!!!!!!!!
Five missiles hit the black things approaching from afar.
####
‘There are still a lot.’
Kim Hyun-woo, who finished briefing the heroes briefly, clicked his tongue as he looked at the black things, which had significantly decreased in number immediately after the five missiles fell, but were still in large numbers.
“…I guess that doesn’t work either.”
Naturally, Kim Hyun-woo did not think that five missiles could stop the black-and-white Arthur.
From the beginning, I knew very well that Black and White Arthur was a hero that could only be dealt with by 245 5-star heroes.
However, I was wondering if most of the black things behind the hero could be taken out with missiles, but unfortunately, that was not possible.
‘…It seems like it has decreased by more than half, but it is still a lot.’
Unlike the soldiers they have faced so far, the black ones seem to have no idea of fear from the beginning and continue to advance without any significant change despite their comrades being killed by missiles.
Looking at that, Kim Hyun-woo sighed briefly.
‘It would have been a little more effective if they were intelligent beings.’
If the one hit by the missile was an intelligent being, there was a high probability that they would have trembled with even the slightest fear of the unknown.
Because they would never have seen the missiles he used.
And because the unknown, which could take the lives of intelligent beings, aroused great fear, Kim Hyun-woo felt a brief regret over the fact that the black things did not have intelligence, but that was only for a moment.
“Elena.”
“Yes.”
“Tell me to shoot the other one.”
“All right.”
Kim Hyun-woo immediately ordered to fire the last shot that was not fired.
‘I divided it into two parts because I thought it might cause a little more panic if the enemies were intelligent, but it is now meaningless.’
At the same time as Kim Hyun-woo’s brief regret, the missile began to be fired once again, so it shot up into the sky in an instant and began to fall into the middle of the black things –
“?”
Just before the missile hit the black things, Kim Hyun-woo could not help but widen his eyes.
The reason was that the missile that was being fired stopped in the air right before it hit the ground.
As if time had stopped.
“…”
Time did not stop.
Everyone was feeling it.
However, the missile that was clearly heading down stopped in midair.
Hyunwoo Kim saw it.
Arthur, who was in the lead, was quietly raising his hand toward the missile.
And.
Kuuk-!
As Arthur’s hand was tightened, the missile that had been frantically expelling fuel towards the ground just a moment ago disappeared.
It was instantly stained as if it were being eroded by something black.
“…It’s a f*cking scam…”And for a moment, they made a ridiculous expression while watching the sight, but Kim Hyun-woo, who confirmed that the black things continued to approach, opened his mouth.
“…Aria.”
“Yes.”
“You can do it now.”
“That’s good. I wanted to sweep all those things away because they were annoying me anyway.”
Aria raised the incense burner as she uttered those words.
And.
Zzzzt-Zzzzt!
The blue bones circling her body proliferated in an instant, creating huge wings, and at the same time as something like a blue fog and smoke from the incense burner she was holding covered the entire wall of Lartania.
“…I’ll be back, Master.”
“I’ll be back, my Lord.”
“Me too.”
The battle began with the heroes’ leap.
