‘Selek! It’s none of my business to know why he left Blue Moon Base, but now that the Guardians are gone, it must be the perfect opportunity to attack Blue Moon Base.’
Kalun’s plan was to quickly wipe out the Blue Moon Stronghold before a new Guardian could be summoned.
He glanced around and looked at the one-eyed giant next to him.
A super-large gray moon cyclops 20 meters tall.
It was Count Kundad (★★★★★★).
“Count Kundad! Are you ready?”
“Of course. I was ready from the start.”
Kundad, who clutched a huge ax in one hand, had a flash of light in his eyes.
“Is there any reason why we should go together to the Blue Moon Node where there is no Marquis Selek? I think I’ll be enough on my own, so why don’t you stay here, Count Calune?”
Kundad raised the ax and said as if he was enough.
Then Calune shook his head.
“According to the Goblin Scouts, the Blue Moon Node has risen to Level 4.”
“Step 4? Does that mean he has already accumulated that many points?”
“As long as the scouts didn’t see anything wrong, that’s for sure.”
“I can’t believe it. no that’s impossible I understand that blue moon points are the hardest to collect among all types of points.”
Kundad frowned in disbelief.
Calune nodded.
“I also think the same as you. However, the blue moon legend’s successor surprised us even then by quickly creating a 3rd level base. Therefore, never be vigilant this time.”
“If you have really completed the 4th stage base, that guy is a very scary guy. If you don’t step on it quickly before it grows bigger, it could become a powerful being that no one can handle in the future.”
“So we have to go together. There’s no way that would be the case, but it’s because we have to prepare for the case that he summons a new 6-star Guardian.”
It is more difficult to contract and summon a new 6-star Guardian than raising a base to 4 levels.
Calune, of course, thought it couldn’t be, but he was still trying to send out the maximum available troops just in case.
Kundad chuckled.
“Wouldn’t it be a miracle if he hired even a 5-star Guardian? But you are right, Calune. We have to prepare for the worst, so it is wise for us to all go out and wipe it out.”
When Kundad agreed, Calune immediately raised his red spear and shouted.
“Did you hear? Everyone participates! Let’s destroy the Blue Moon Base!”
“Kwaaa!”
“Kiaa!”
“Kyakyakyakyakya!”
Minotaurs and goblins raised their weapons and let out shouts and roars.
“Viscount Grund! Please take good care of the base while we are away!”
“yes! Don’t worry, Count Calune! Count Kundad!”
In front of the stronghold castle.
One of the super-sized Minotaurs answered politely with a giant sword at its waist.
Viscount Grund of the Gray Moon (★★★★★☆).
When Kalun and Kundad participate, Grund will assume overall responsibility for defending the base.
“Just in case the Black Moon Vampires might be targeting this place, so make sure you’re fully prepared!”
“Yes, Count!”
After Kalun asked Grund for the last time, he started marching towards the Blue Moon Base.
* * *
“The enemy is coming. Get ready.”
Cha Soo-hyeok and Park So-hee were looking around the survivors’ quarters and examining the situation of the people.
Suddenly, a cat-faced bird appeared and urgently warned them.
Of course, the cute bird with the cat face is Nubes (★★★★★★), the guardian of the wyvern.
“Sir Nuves! Is it really? Are the enemies really coming in?”
Cha Soo-hyeok was surprised and asked.
“Yes. It will arrive near the base here in 10 minutes. Hurry up and call the soldiers and prepare for battle.”
As a flying guardian, Nuves sensed the enemy’s approach in advance and informed them.
“Looks like the enemy is from Ashenmoon Point. A 6-star Minotaur, a 6-star Cyclops, four 4-star commanders, and hundreds of 3-star or lower troops. Minotaurs and goblins.”
Two 6-star enemies are coming!
Besides that, I thought hundreds of minotaurs and goblins would come in droves.
“Prepare all troops for battle! Ji-ho Sir, Lars Sir, and So Hee-kyung! Lead each troop and do your best to defend the base!”
“yes! All right!”
“I will prepare immediately!”
“I will prepare for battle!”
Immediately, Lee Ji-ho led a team of powerful soldiers, Lars a team of Lycanthrope soldiers, and So-hee Park led a team of tree spirits to defend the palace.
“Sir Nuves! Sir Ignis! The two of you, please take care of the 6-star enemies!”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Ho Ho! Even if it wasn’t, it was itchy, but it worked out.”
Nuves and Ignis didn’t look afraid at all.
Because of the buff given by the 2nd level Guardian’s Tower, Ignis alone can deal with two 6-star enemies.
Even assuming such a fact, Cha Soo-hyeok was quite nervous.
‘Now that the Count is gone, all responsibility for base defense lies with me.’
It is only natural that there will be casualties among our allies as hundreds of large armies rush in.
It is his mission to minimize sacrifices and keep the base safe.
‘If possible, it would be better to put a skeleton unit that can be resurrected in the foreground.’
Skeleton soldiers had the advantage of being able to resurrect with points even if they were broken as they were undead.
Although their fighting power is relatively weak compared to Lee Ji-ho’s superpowered soldiers, the ability to resurrect infinitely is a strength that cannot be ignored.
‘Also, I have to properly use the protection entrusted by the count.’
Blue Moon Life Protection and Blue Moon Mana Protection!
It’s an ability that lasts for 10 minutes, but since it’s an effect that also applies to Guardians, it’s a trump card that can change the tide of battle!
‘If you get the timing right, you can annihilate the enemy without causing any casualties.’
In the meantime, a super-sized Minotaur and Cyclops came into sight in the distance.
After that, the Minotaur and Goblin troops were rushing toward the base like waves.
-Sir Soo Hyuk, this is Kang Joon Young.
Cha Soo-hyuk was surprised.
Prior to the apocalypse, this kind of contact could be made like a joke using a communication device, but now it is impossible.
From noble mtl dot com.
But now, like a telepath, I could hear Junyoung’s voice.
– No surprises. It’s one of the abilities that I awakened after becoming a count, but now I’m only trying to use it once. It’s a bit of a point, but I think it’ll be useful when you’re in a hurry.
It is not the ability to communicate with everyone, but the ability to communicate only with the entity delegated as the node manager.
In other words, it is an ability that is only available to Cha Soo-hyeok.
“Count… then can you hear me?”
-yes. of course. It sounds great.
Cha Soo-hyeok does not use any special points and speaks normally, but it means that Jun-young hears it.
But it was not the time to be surprised.
Cha Soo-hyeok quickly reported the current situation to Jun-young.
“Count! Gray moon monsters are currently approaching the base.”
-I know. There are guardians, so don’t worry too much and defend them calmly.
“yes! Please leave it here.”
-After a while, I plan to attack their stronghold.
“You mean the Count alone? That would be too risky.”
Cha Soo-hyeok was surprised and stopped him.
-There are enough chances to win because there are followers. And after a while, I plan to summon Guardian Nubes to attack the base.
Junyoung spoke quickly.
-Tell Ignis to take the time to deal with 6-star enemies. Defeating them too soon may ruin my attempt to capture Ashenmoon Point.
“I understand, Count.”
Cha Soo-hyeok immediately understood what he meant.
It means that Jun-young can easily rob an empty house if he catches the enemies flocking over there as much as possible here.
-I will contact you again when the Ashen Moon Base is completely destroyed. Then, take good care of Blue Moon Base, Sir Soo Hyuk.
“Yes, Count. Don’t worry here, please be careful.”
When the communication ended, Cha Soo-hyeok immediately went to Ignis and conveyed Jun-yeong’s will.
“That is the Count’s order, Sir Ignis.”
“You just need to take your time. If that is my specialty, leave it to me.”
Ignis said with a unique beautiful eye smile as if to say not to worry.
A magical smile unique to the spirits!
When Cha Soo-hyeok looked at her as if he had lost his mind for a moment, Ignis smiled even deeper, as if his playful spirit had moved on.
“Whoa, are you interested in me? what good How about a date after the war today?”
“yes? what the…”
Cha Soo-hyeok never imagined that Ignis would say such a thing.
‘Never. I won’t!’
He is a man with a wife!
However, Ignis’ strange fascination caught her and her mouth did not move.
‘Ugh… This is too much of a joke.’
Even though I know it’s a joke, I fall for the fascination and can’t take my eyes off it, so it’s a problem.
“·······!!!”
Then one day.
The back of his head felt sore for some reason, so when he turned his head, his wife, Park So-hee, was staring at him and Ignis with unparalleled cold eyes.
“all right. Then you know that you accepted the date, Soo-hyeok. See you later.”
Ignis gave Cha Soo-hyeok a bewitching wink and hand kiss and then disappeared.
‘When will I agree?’
Cha Soo-hyeok was dumbfounded.
Then, when I saw that Park So-hee’s face became even colder, my heart sank.
‘this!’
Immediately, Cha Soo-hyuk spoke to So-hee Park with an expression as if he had absolutely no interest in Ignis.
“Do not misunderstand. Just now, Sir Ignis was playing a joke…”
“The enemy is attacking the base right now, what the hell are you doing?”
“What are you doing! I never…”
“Let’s talk about it once the war is over.”
Park So-hee seemed to be angry for some reason.
It was only natural that I witnessed Cha Soo-hyeok staring at another woman, a non-human spirit of course, but another woman anyway.
I never thought I’d even schedule a date right in front of her staring.
He was furious and to the point of going mad.
“Ignis’ charm is something that no one with a 5-star rating can ever avoid. Ignis was playing a joke on Sir Suhyeok, so you better not misunderstand.”
The voice of Nubes, the cat’s wyvern.
Park So-hee looked at him with surprised eyes.
“You said it was enchanting?”
“Yes… that nasty, spiteful fire spirit has tended to tear lovers apart since ancient times. He says he is alone, and when he sees a couple or a lover, he always jokes like that.”
Nuves continued with his large, round eyes shining brightly.
“I’ve been watching everything from the beginning, but Suhyuk-kyung did nothing wrong. So don’t get me wrong. If you misunderstand and fight over this, that wicked fire spirit will love it the most.”
“ah. I see.”
Park So-hee had to listen to Nubes’ words before the misunderstanding was resolved.
“Brother, I’m sorry… I misunderstood.”
“hahahaha, sorry. Anyone in that situation would make that misunderstanding. I’m really glad that the misunderstanding has been resolved.”
Cha Soo-hyeok expressed his gratitude to Nuves with a face that came back to life.
“Thank you very much, Sir Nubes.”
Nuves smiled happily.
“Then don’t play with that fire spirit from now on.”
“I guess so.”
Cha Soo-hyeok glared at Ignis with a wary expression, as if he would not be beaten again.
Then, his eyes widened in surprise.
‘That one?’
In the meantime, Ignis created a flame storm from the fire moat and pushed it towards the enemy.
Fire! flaring-
It was a sight as if a sea of fire were being pushed out!
Enemies flocking towards the base were surprised and confused.
‘Still, one skill is no joke.’
An existence that blocks hundreds of enemies alone!
He wasn’t a 6-star fire spirit guardian for nothing.
“Unbelievable! A 6-star fire spirit!”
The ones who were most surprised by this were Kalun and Kundad, Counts of the Gray Moon.
They glared at Ignis and widened their eyes in disbelief.
I was aiming for the gap where Marquis Selek had disappeared, but I would have thought that a 6-star Guardian with just as much fighting power would be holding on.
“Are you sure it’s a fire spirit?”
“Either way, we have the upper hand!”
“Of course. I will take charge of the fire spirit.”
Calune slammed the red-light spear into the floor.
Quaang!
In an instant, a huge ice wall appeared in front of him, lightly neutralizing the flame storm fired by Ignis.
“Everyone follow me!”
“Kwaaa!”
Calune pierced the flames with an ice wall, and the minotaurs and goblins followed suit.
Blue Moon vs Gray Moon (2)
Fire! flaring-
A storm of scorching flames erupted in front of the Blue Moon Base!
It blocked the way as if it were a forest fire.
Then Minotaur Calun (★★★★★★) rushed through the storm with a blue ice sheet resembling a giant shield in front of him.
“Everyone follow me! How can this fire block our way?”
“Kwaaa!”
But the storm that formed in front of them was not an accidental forest fire.
It is the brimstone fire of hell created by the fire spirit Ignis (★★★★★★).
Minotaurs and goblins were burned and staggered from the formidable heat.
“Be patient! If we can break through this wall of fire, nothing will stop us at Blue Moon Base. Even if a little bit of heat makes you suffer, keep moving forward!”
The protection of the Earl of the Gray Moon!
Kalun’s cry had the power to dramatically increase the morale of his subordinates.
As a result, even when their skin was burned by the flames and their flesh ripened, the Minotaurs and goblins charged forward vigorously with mad expressions on their faces.
“Kwaaa! rush! rush!”
“Kiki Kick! Let’s kill all the blue moon bastards!”
Some of them even went berserk and ran at crazy speeds like the wind.
Of course, it was Kalun who showed the most formidable momentum.
The sight of the flame storm splitting in front of his dash skill was truly spectacular.
“joy! Where do you dare to come?”
As Kalun lightly pierced the firestorm, a blue flame appeared in front of him.
A 10-meter-tall woman whose entire body is made of blue flames.
It was Ignis, the fire spirit.
She held a shield of blue flame in her left hand and a sword of red flame in her right.
“It’s been four years since you created the firestorm. Kut! Laughing year! I won’t smash you!”
Kalun charged, swinging his crimson spear like a gust of wind.
flash-
As if three or four red lightnings shot out, Ignis’ body was swept away in an instant by the air waves extending from the red spear.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
Ignis easily blocked the attack with his shield.
Enraged by this, Kalun stabbed the spear one after another with the weight of his massive body.
All of them were lightly blocked by Ignis’ shield.
No matter which direction the spear was skillfully wielded, Ignis blocked them all.
Rather, due to the strong heat from Ignis’ body, Calune suffered burns all over his skin.
