256 – Hot Victory (1)
The temporary barracks of the Barathen camp became a battlefield.
A zone between the center and the sides.
Like any other area, the wolves of Baraten and Kalak were fighting fiercely, and the humans of the Were also doing their best to help.
The overall flow itself was good.
The Barathen camp Lycans and experienced humans, armed with ‘werewolf-specific armor’, established a thorough defense line and stopped the enemies.
Tanking in the front is solid.
Definite dealing from behind.
Cooperative battle between humans and lycans.
As the experience gradually accumulated, it felt like our hands and feet were in harmony with each other.
And the most active among them were, of course, humans.
“The master of the quick sword defeated the enemy awakened warrior… !!”
“Waaa-!!”
“The quiet female warrior endures! “Let’s all hold on together!!”
Jinwoo Park and Camilla.
They played a key role in the recent raid, and they also shined in the counterattack of a sudden raid.
Park Jin-woo leads the allies and is at the forefront of the attack, while Camilla is at the center of defense based on a large shield.
They each took charge of the core of attack and defense and led their allies.
Lycans in particular like to give nicknames to their warriors, so they were given unique nicknames even in wartime situations.
A master of the quick sword and a quiet female warrior.
It’s a childish name, but it clearly reveals their activities.
If there are just two people…
It seemed like the battle in this area would soon end in victory.
‘It’s not good.’
However, Park Jin-woo, the main character in the cheers…
I had to sense in real time that the situation had worsened.
First of all, I was able to block it well, but because the battle happened so suddenly, my stamina and magic power were used up too quickly.
Furthermore, since it is a battle that involves waking up early in the morning, your physical condition is not perfect, and for that reason, internal stress is building up….
There were many psychological factors that were disadvantageous in battle.
Unless something comes along that will completely change the current structure, there is a high probability that our army’s formation will collapse quickly.
‘Damn… ‘I didn’t even think about this.’
Actually, there were parts that Jinwoo Park had not noticed before.
I just fought in front without thinking about it, and I had never been a leader, so these are things I didn’t need to know.
However, he becomes the vice-captain of the And the central figure of the Barathen-Raid Alliance… He was finally able to realize.
Anyone who takes on the leadership of a group, even in a small position, has to bear the burden of the allies under him.
That was the responsibility of a leader.
“aaahhh… !!”
“Camilla!!”
And that moment.
The situation on the battlefield was worsening, reaching its worst.
In the Kalac camp, which had so far only aimed for close combat in the form of an ‘awakened wolf,’ magic came out of nowhere.
Overflowing black magic and huge thorns.
The place where that ominous and dangerous magic reached…
It was Camilla’s body standing at the forefront.
“Some bastards…” !! Camilla! Are you okay?”
Park Jin-woo rushed over and hugged her.
His almost staggering body is caught in his hands, and a large amount of blood comes out of his wound.
A ‘thorn of darkness’ that I don’t know where it came from.
It pierced Camilla’s large shield, pushed up to her chest, and pierced her skin.
“Cough-Jinwoo, over there….”
Camilla pointed into the distance with her trembling hand.
Park Jin-woo also moves his gaze following him.
There…
Among wolves running wild across the battlefield.
‘Humans’ were walking.
‘… ‘A human?’
Although he was aware of the situation, Park Jin-woo could not believe his eyes for a moment.
A man covered in a robe and a man with blonde hair.
Those people who looked like foreigners were clearly human.
Dungeon entry is only possible through ‘special items’, so they cannot be holders from another country.
It literally means humans in a dungeon.
‘… How?’
Until now, no human has ever emerged from a dungeon.
Even though the werewolves in the current dungeon or the dragon in Have taken human form as [Polymorphs]… There was no entity that had a completely human appearance.
This is my first time experiencing this situation.
And the ‘human from another world’ that I see for the first time.
“Aquilene. “You’re still immature.”
“I’m sorry. “It seems like her runes and abilities are focused on defense.”
“It’s an excuse. “I will step forward.”
But there was no time to explore this.
They are clear enemies.
It attacked Camilla and inflicted fatal injuries, and is trying to pour magic on its allies again.
‘We have to stop it.’
I don’t know how the situation will unfold, but at least we had to block their magic.
Park Jin-woo held his worn-out sword tightly.
Then, I activate the runes that were resting for a while and prepare the ultimate skill that I had saved.
The target is a man wearing a robe.
It was the elimination of the core of the enemy dealer line.
“Chase… “
But the man in the robe.
I lightly snapped my fingers and ignored his words.
“Oh, that’s okay too. “I already figured it out.”
Kwa, kwaaang-!!
“aaahhh… !!”
“Jinwoo!!”
A huge explosion occurred where Jin-Woo Park was, and he rolled on the floor covered in blood.
This time Camilla came and hugged him.
Of course, the ultimate skill I was about to cast was also canceled.
He was helpless against the timing magic that seemed to have memorized the pattern.
‘Mr… foot.’
Cough-
I take such a big hit at once that blood pours out through my cough.
With such high magical power and strong runes, he was able to pierce through all of Park Jin-woo’s defense runes and durability values at once, inflicting fatal wounds.
Although the attack on Camilla by the other wizard next to her was strong, the magic used by the man in the robe was an attack on a different level.
“Aquilene.”
“Yes!”
“Assist me. “I will wipe out the rest, including those two.”
“I understand.”
A declaration is made that is like a death sentence.
This level of damage can be inflicted with just the magic that has already been prepared for casting, but if you properly pour in your magic power and unleash a wide-area spell…
I couldn’t even estimate how much damage would occur.
‘No… We have to stop it.’
Park Jin-woo tried to stand up, mustering all the strength he had.
It must be stopped.
If I stayed like this, everything would be over.
‘… ‘You have to protect it.’
I wanted to protect it.
Camilla and Jinwoo Park himself in front of me.
Numerous raid members under his command.
Lycans and Jurgens who have fought together so far….
I wanted to protect everyone who had my back in the name of comrades.
‘The road…’ ‘The path to protect.’
Up until now, he had been fighting aimlessly.
I just liked fighting, and I liked the process of preparing for that fight.
But he could lose all his colleagues…
This moment of desperation.
It was only then that he realized.
From Noble mtl dot com
The path you have been wandering and looking for.
It was a way to protect them all.
It was the moment when bold letters were engraved on the previously blank purpose.
[The wandering seeker’s path has gained meaning! The seeker’s ability that was inherent within you finally regains its power. The path you have been looking for is to consistently protect everything around you from external pressure. You are a ‘seeker of balance.’]
[New rune ‘Seeker of Balance’ has been obtained!]
[All general abilities are acquired by 5 due to the rune’s disposition.]
[Recovering the seeker’s full power, the epic rune ‘Unpursuable Swift Sword’ evolves into the legendary rune ‘Sword that Stepped on the Shadow’.]
[Acquires strength and magic power of 3 and speed of 7 respectively due to the rune’s disposition.]
…
…
[A new rune ‘Magic Control’ has been obtained.]
[A new rune ‘Eyes of Attunement’ has been obtained.]
…
…
And.
Park Jin-woo soon opens his eyes.
I recited the words of the ultimate skill that I couldn’t say before.
“Chase the darkness.”
Strengthened strength and changed attacks.
Dave and Aquilen of the Rudenarch School.
Even where they fought…
The counterattack was beginning.
* * *
As is a contract with restrictions on summoning.
It can only be summoned in a place where there is water, and because its abilities and level are very high, the magical power consumed for the summoning itself is also considerable.
Contractors who take on risks just by being summoned.
Nevertheless, the return value was certain.
[Contractor ‘As’ uses the ‘New Wave’ skill. The waves of the vast sea crash over the battlefield.]
[Contractor ‘As’ uses the ‘Waterfall of Bondage’ skill. A stiff stream of water is bound to a total of 20 designated targets.]
As is a ghost dragon that specializes in transportation, but he is also a wizard who is better than anyone else in battle.
The main rune [Wave Swallowing the Vortex] Is level 16, the spell rune [Dragonian Spell] Is level 17, and even the basic magic rune [Magic Control] Is level 20.
Rune settings and proficiency that are extremely specialized in water attribute magic.
In the current situation where it is a many-to-many battle…
The destructive power was so great that it cannot be explained in words.
Shooaaa-!!
Ku, quagga gaga-!!
-Damn it! Lycans use Jurgen as a shield to avoid water!!
-What kind of monster is that… !!
-Ugh!! Help me-!!
Strong waves and sharp streams of water poured down, and the battlefield instantly turned into chaos.
The Lycans of the Kalak camp tried to avoid the water magic by somehow climbing onto the terrain, but….
‘If that were going to be the case, I wouldn’t have summoned Ass.’
The magic of S-class monsters cannot be avoided with speed alone.
Similarly, except for the awakened warriors who were S-class monsters, almost all wolves were caught up in the water magic.
At first glance, I saw Hwang Seong-yeon, who was approaching me, drowning in the water.
However, he was still looking at me with an interesting face.
Unlucky bastard.
I climbed on top of As’s shell and quickly gave an order.
‘As. ‘Is more water magic possible?’
-Time is needed before the next spell. Instead, you can use two magics at the same time by double casting like before.
‘Okay. Then, go to a stable place and prepare magic.’
-According to the will of the pledger.
As soon as the command is given, jump off As.
And immediately put to use [The best racehorse in the world].
Use the assault rune in the air to run.
The location reached is the Lycans who were hit by As’s [Breaking Waterfall] Skill.
Because it was a status ailment type skill, it didn’t cause much damage, but the fact that 20 Lycans were bundled into one skill gave me a different meaning.
‘Chain Lightning!’
A skill I used to kill 15 Jurgen at the same time.
[Chain Lightning] From [Infiltrating Brain Energy].
It only seemed like it was standing there ready to be attacked.
Patchou- Patsutsutsu-!!
Qua, quarrr-!!
Intense balls of lightning soar, and the cries of enemy Lycans can be heard.
It was a hit.
Of course, I fell into the water at the same time, but for me, who has [Elemental Master] And [Water Breathing], Water is another home ground.
‘We have to keep reducing it like this.’
I turned my head and looked around.
The battlefield still hasn’t calmed down and the wolves have fallen into the water.
… And Hwang Seong-yeon.
In order to capture Hwang Seong-yeon, the enemies had to be defeated one by one.
‘Until there are more allies!’
What was the most difficult thing when dealing with Hwang Seong-yeon?
I had to deal with him alone.
He possesses the highest level of skill and a magic sword among S-class holders.
In fact, dealing with a guy like that alone was almost unreasonable.
[Divine Slash] Has already been used, and even more so now that [Berserk] Is coming to an end.
‘Then you don’t have to deal with me.’
The solution was simple.
If your teeth don’t work, turn to your gums.
If you don’t have a sword, use your fist.
If quality was lacking, it was enough to compete with quantity.
Until all the water on this battlefield disappears…
My goal was to eliminate all of the enemy forces except Hwang Seong-yeon.
