252 – Raid and Counterattack (3)
The outline was set from the beginning.
There may be a spy on our side who is in secret with the Kalak camp.
I had such suspicions because the enemies found out how to deal with my [Accel Piercing], And my suspicions became confirmed as the keyword ‘Ludenarch’ appeared in the runes they possessed.
This war is not simply a dungeon raid.
A new enemy that may appear in the Holder world, a group called Ludenarch, is involved.
Also, if an outside group is involved, there is a possibility that our forces have spies….
‘Raid.’
From Noble mtl dot com
It was most likely to be in the raid group I created.
So, I increased the intensity of my spy vigilance, which had been in place since the creation of the raid group.
Ironically, the main character was Do Seung-min.
“Are you telling me to find a spy?”
“I’m not saying you have to look for it, just be on guard. “Because you are good at using the stealth rune.”
Unless the holders decide to use search-type runes or magic detection, the [Stealth] Of the Assassin class is unlikely to be detected.
Although Do Seung-min has many shortcomings, he is an assassin with a very high level of experience.
His proficiency in [Stealth] Was no less than that of a class A assassin.
Of course, Do Seung-min was also not on the radar at first, but as mentioned before, he had a long career, so he had a clear alibi and had quite a few articles from when he was young.
This is the first person I’ve seen since coming out on this raid and whose identity is clear.
He was the best person for this job.
“But now all the villains have been eliminated. “Are there any other organizations you would send spies to?”
“Uh. “They may be even worse than the villains.”
After maximizing my vigilance, I went to see Enrichten at dawn.
Four additional awakened warriors were gathered in his barracks.
It was a separate unit formed on my advice that there might be an enemy raid tonight.
However, there seemed to be some Lycans who were dissatisfied with the sudden strategy.
“Tol. We still don’t understand. No matter how much you have received a token of trust from Jayten and have proven your strength, you are still only human. Moreover, that person uses the power of those impure people… !!”
“Schilten.”
Enrichten cut him off and persuaded him lightly.
“Don’t try to see only what you want to see, but feel his energy closely.”
“… “What does that mean?”
“He certainly used the barbarians’ strengthening techniques in battle, but that was not power artificially injected into them. Do Jae-hyeon is a descendant of the barbarian king Magnus the Barbarian. “He is using the full formal strengthening spell of the barbarians.”
“…… !”
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding due to the rune [Warrior’s Enhancement Art] I was using.
This power belongs to the barbarian clan, and the war took a sharp turn when the Ludenarch School granted this power to the Kalak tribe.
‘If you think about it, I stole the runes from them and combined them….’
Anyway, the rune I have now is the official [Warrior’s Strengthening Art].
And even [Descendants of the Barbarian King], Which proves its power.
Enrichten persuaded Schilten by accurately distinguishing between the unstable power of the Kalak camp and the power I possessed.
It was a moment when my words about strategy gained definite power.
“Then, Enrichten, I will explain further. If the enemy makes a surprise attack tonight, the detachment will go in this direction and cut off the enemy’s supply…… “
About 30 minutes.
It was time to explain to them the detailed counterattack plan.
-I am the enemy!! It’s a surprise attack by Kalac guys!
Lycan, who was on watch duty, shouted at the top of his voice.
As expected to some extent.
The raid on the Kalak camp began at dawn.
We left the barracks and prepared for battle.
“Oh my….”
But Enrichten’s expression when he came out was not good.
He had a disappointed look on his face, as if he had not expected it at all.
“Why are you doing this?”
“They performed magic. “It is Pearl Moonlight magic, which induces the awakening of Lycans by forcibly filling the full moon.”
They.
A term referring to the Ludenarch School.
I was surprised by those words.
The Ludenarch School is here again?
So you were in the dungeon from the beginning?
There was no time to resolve such questions.
“This magic is not that threatening because our Barathens can also awaken and become stronger, but the problem is the next magic. There are many strange things about Luden Arc’s magic, and there is also a raid method that allows Lycans to infiltrate the ground and move them. “It is a very damaging form of attack for those who are unprepared.”
In other words, that is.
“Our soldiers in front of the barracks are in danger. The warriors on watch duty may have already… Jaehyun Do? Wherever you go, Do Jae-hyun!”
There was no need to listen to what he said to the end.
I immediately used the Assault Rune and ran with all my might.
The engineering team member in charge of alert duty at this time is Kim Chae-eun.
Even though I knew that, I couldn’t stay still.
* * *
The current situation was that I rushed forward with all my might.
‘Chae-eun kills Lycan alone… ?’
When I first arrived and saw the battle situation out of the corner of my eye, I was surprised.
Lycanthrope, the highest level A-level monster.
Even the monster that had awakened into the form of a wolf through the magic called [Pearl Moonlight] Was lying dead.
Seeing that our side’s Lycan was also defeated, it seemed like Kim Chae-eun took it alone without any tanking.
A wizard can kill a Class A monster by himself… Something surprising was unfolding outside, but there was no time to appreciate it.
‘We need to narrow the distance first.’
First of all, I hit all the ultimate skills I had.
[Shadow of Distortion] Approaches the enemy as if teleporting and simultaneously delivers a powerful blow.
Thanks to this, a lycan is instantly retired.
Using that guy as a stepping stone, he jumped and hugged Chae-eun.
Unfold [Jin Yusu Hwalgeom] With just one hand.
It was my first time trying this technique, but I was able to succeed with a bit of clumsiness.
It was the moment when we arrived in time and avoided the crisis.
“Burst into the waves.”
I continued the fight without stopping.
Ultimate skill [True Wave Heavenly Sword].
If the existing [Pasang Heavenly Sword] Was a skill that stabbed and exploded only at a single target, [True Wave’s Heavenly Sword] Became a wide-area skill that could spread its power in all directions.
If you stab a sword into water and put magic into it, seven ‘water blades’ are created.
If you shoot the blade made like that in the desired direction…
Can unleash intense magical power on a target pierced by a blade.
In other words, the existing [Pasang Heavenly Sword] Can now be controlled remotely and used on multiple people.
Although its power was lower than before, its versatility was overwhelming.
Pot-Pababat-
——!!
Kwaang-!!
Quaaang-!!
Soft water-attribute magic dances in the bodies of Lycans as if exploding.
The Lycans had already warmed up once with the slash of the [True Flowing Sword], But the finishing blow of the [True Wave-shattering Heavenly Sword] Was delivered, so the Lycans were unable to come to their senses.
Pow- Pow-
Every time the ‘blade of water’ touched them, they fell easily and lost their fighting power.
“Heo-eok-heo-eok…” .”
… Of course, I wasn’t normal either.
An ultimate skill that ordinary holders find difficult to possess.
I wrote this three times in a row.
A huge amount of magical power was drained away, and I was immediately exhausted, and I felt physically exhausted.
It’s a shame that there are runes that support physical strength and magic power, such as [Pride of the Forgotten Dragon Knight] Or [Warrior’s Strengthening Art]. If it weren’t for them, I would have fallen before those Lycans.
“Jaehyun, finishing… !!”
And that moment.
A somewhat familiar ‘energy of ice’ surrounds the surroundings.
Magic power that rolls in like fog and freezes the cold atmosphere.
For me, it was Kim Chae-eun’s main skill, [Frozen Fog], Which I had seen dozens of times.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
She always felt like this when I did her battles with her.
A route where I tie up the monsters’ feet with [Frozen Fog] Or [Field Freezing] And then deliver the finishing attack.
It was a standard, yet always efficient attack method.
Although I rarely had to fight like this as my abilities became more diverse and my level increased, it felt new to fight with her again like this.
Recalling the memories of that time…
I heard [Clow Short Sword] As a ‘arms replacement technique’.
When making a quick finishing attack.
As expected, there was nothing like ‘dagger sword technique’ and [Plum sword technique].
——!!
Awww-!!
The lycans finally lose their breath.
We overcame the overwhelming numerical difference and defeated them all.
And that number will increase in the future.
It was the prelude to a counterattack against the Kalak camp’s raid.
* * *
Meanwhile, on the side of the Barathen camp barracks.
Our soldiers, who had learned of the enemy attack through alerts from security guards, were waging a fierce battle of their own.
Moon Ga-eun pulled the bow string as if her fingers were about to explode.
Fortunately, the warning of an enemy attack was early, so we were properly prepared for battle… There are many enemies.
There were too many.
No matter how many arrows and magical powers were fired, the enemies pushed in, asserting their numerical superiority.
“Hold on! “Wait until our troops begin their operation!”
“Protect humans as much as possible! Don’t let support stop!”
The awakened warriors in command of each unit shouted at the top of their voices.
At first, they preferred individual battles between lycans and humans, but now that the war was well advanced, they knew well that rear support holders were the key to the battle.
“Why like this! Wolf forms! That’s it! Catch! Difficult!!”
In it, Moon Ga-eun silently shot an arrow.
Nevertheless, annoyance welled up in my heart.
All the Lycans who awakened under the light of the full moon changed their bodies into wolf forms and rushed towards them.
Because of this, the range of strides varied and it was very difficult to land an attack. In particular, the ability level increased due to awakening, so the movements were very sharp.
From Noble mtl dot com
In short, our troops were at a huge disadvantage.
“That’s right. Because the full moon has risen. Lycans and Jurgens become stronger by awakening when the full moon rises and can transform into wolf form. Of course, that full moon was made of magic!”
And a voice is heard from somewhere.
It was Hatten, the Lycan who was in charge of guarding Moon Ga-eun.
Even in this emergency situation, people spoke calmly and talked a lot.
“Then you too can change… !!”
“It won’t change because we are outnumbered. “For defense, human form is more comfortable.”
“Lee- Just transform! “If this continues, we’ll all die!”
Haten, who was fighting excitedly, clapped at those words.
“I’ve been waiting for you to say that!”
As soon as I finished speaking.
Good luck!
In an instant, Hatten’s body began to transform.
The upright body is bent into the shape of a wolf.
The sharp claws and teeth become even sharper.
The manes that extend here and there are longer.
And.
[The isolated werewolf awakens in the moonlight and regains his original appearance. The chosen wolf ‘Pulien’ clan is a close friend of Valkyrie who has been fighting alongside her for a long time. Pulien’s descendant, ‘Hatten’, underwent transformation during her storm and became a werewolf, but now that she has regained her original form, she can make a contract with her.]
[The ‘Valkyrie of the Battlefield’ rune and the ‘Valkyrie’s Horse’ rune respond. If all hidden special conditions are met, a contract with ‘Hatten’ becomes possible. This contract is not affected by leadership values and rune level.]
A long-awaited new power has also begun to emerge.
