90 – The Trial of Nothingness – 21
Kwajik-!
“Grrr!! Kill them all!”
“”””Wow!!””””
An hour after the war started, victory was already leaning towards the orcs.
Thanks to Gurush’s tremendous performance, the undead monsters fell without even using their strength, and Claudia’s healing magic that came in midway restored all the orcs’ wounds.
Kwajijik-!
In the end, it wasn’t long before all the undead monsters lost their stamina and returned to corpses, but on the other hand, the number of dead orcs was about 1,000, which was a huge achievement compared to the previous war.
The reason for such a successful result was my tremendous efforts…
“Fortunately, he listens well.”
Before the war started, I said this to Gurush.
-When the war starts, you fight in the foreground by pulling back the orcs as much as possible.
-Grr? Why should it be?
-We need to reduce the death toll of the orcs. Don’t worry, I’ll secretly use healing magic.
-Grrr! I get it! I kill them all myself!
-No, that’s not going to happen… Do it as long as the orcs don’t die.
What Berazie is aiming for is the corpses of orcs.
In that case, isn’t it a matter of paying as few casualties as possible? Of course, I’m not Zhuge Liang, and I don’t know how to reduce casualties in war.
But when I thought about the character of the orcs, I thought they would fight with ignorance, so I told them the strategy to fight as efficiently as possible.
In the end, in this world, the high level is the strongest, and he uses it to put Gurush at the forefront and rushes alone. And Claudia comes out from behind and secretly walks in recovery. A simple but most effective and least casualty strategy.
In fact, as a result, wasn’t it a tremendous achievement of less than 1000 casualties?
“Grrr! Get all the corpses!”
“Grr? Because Chief, let’s just leave it alone. It’s bothering.”
“Grrr! When I say good things, listen!”
-..Is it my mistake that Gurush seems to be copying the king’s way of speaking?
Yeah, it’s an illusion.
“But isn’t it time to show up soon?”
-If you’ve seen them clearing out the corpses, they’ll show up right away.
At the moment I was talking with Veronica, a huge amount of mana flowed from the direction of the undead army.
Hybrid mana that is a mixture of chaotic mana and death.
There is only one person I know who exudes such mana.
“..You are finally here.”
Berage, the strongest undead mage.
“It’s absurd..I never thought that orcs could be so intelligent.”
“Grrr! Who are you!”
“This is unexpected, but it bothers me…”
Berazie appeared in front of the orcs with an expression of disapproval.
It must have been quite inconvenient because it didn’t go as expected.
“Stupid things, I tried to prolong my life, but I gave up on it myself…”
“Grrr! Are you an undead wizard!”
“So is that man… He hasn’t been around lately.”
At that moment, Vera Jie coldly said, extending her hand towards Gurush.
“Die. It’s annoying, so I’ll make them all undead.”
“Grrr?!”
Karlureureung-!
A very thick breath of death emanated from Gurush.
No matter how weak Beragee is as an undead mage, even if his attack magic is poor, even a level 94 monster and a level 88 Gurush will not be able to avoid serious injuries.
“[Psychokinesis].”
But I can’t allow that.
Where am I open my eyes? Immediately [Psychokinesis] Moved the location of Gurush.
“…What is it? How did you avoid it?”
“That..Grr..?”
Both Berazie, who used the magic, and Gurush, who avoided it, were confused. It was a reaction that could come out because I was hidden in the [Curtain of darkness] And I was not visible.
“Looks like you used some ability.”
“Grrr! God help us! God bless you!”
The two began to misunderstand something. It would be nice to keep watching this, but it’s not important right now, so let’s help Gurush.
“The Spear of the Void.”
Geeeing-!
The spear of emptiness, the ability that ranks in the 2nd place among the spells currently available to me (1st place is the highest wind attribute magic).
In terms of simple destructive power, it is inferior to top-class wind attribute magic, but considering casting speed and convenience, it is the best sealing magic.
“This time I will kill you with words…?!”
Awesome-!
[Savage Attack is activated.]
A purple spear was stabbed right into Berazie’s chest as he spoke with an eerie sound.
Due to the effect of [Savage Attack], The actual damage Beragee receives is approximately 3 times. No matter how level 94 it is, the damage shouldn’t be negligible.
“Keuheouk…!”
In fact, Vera Jier got down on one knee, clutching his chest as if he was quite shocked.
“This…what the hell…!”
“Nice to meet you, you bastard.”
Fire-!
“Keuugh!”
The orange-colored flames of Suzaku instantly surrounded Beragee.
I told you, my favorite burial method is a fire pit, and flames are the answer to anyone playing with dead bodies.
“Why are you here!”
“Why? Are you upset?”
“Oops..!”
Berajie glared at me with a distorted expression. However, he suddenly smiled and slowly got up from his seat.
“…No, this is better.”
“Which is better? Oh, you’re going to die anyway, so it’s better to die early?”
“…We’ll see if that snout of yours is still alive afterward…!”
It’s obvious, since I know that undead magic doesn’t work anyway, I think they’ll just attack with attack magic… Will that work?
Go! Veronica Mon!
-…I really don’t like that tone, but it’s an exhibition right now, so I’ll move on.
Surely…
With Veronica’s clear voice, my shadow began to boil. Soon after, an ominous black mist erupted from the shadows and began to surround me.
“…Keuhuh… Are you hiding behind a woman after all?”
“If you twist it, would you call a friend too?”
“…Well, you’re right. After all, finding helpers can be seen as a skill.”
What is it? Why did you suddenly agree and fall asleep? I just said it to scratch my nerves, so why take it seriously?
From noble mtl dot com
“That’s why I brought you.”
“…What?”
“A helper who will help me fight.”
Sleep-!
The moment Berazie said something meaningful, black energy emanated from his shadow and entered my shadow at great speed.
It was so ridiculously fast that I couldn’t really react.
“What is this..?”
– Big?! Wait a minute you guys…!
“…Veronica? Veronica?!”
-…………………………..
What happened? Suddenly, telepathy with Veronica was lost.
I’ve never been like this before, so what the hell…?
“Why? Are you embarrassed?”
“…What the f*ck did you do?”
“I told you. He said he brought an assistant.”
Damn, suddenly things like this?
The reason I was able to openly flirt with Berazie was entirely thanks to Veronica’s existence.
But that Veronica disappeared? That sound means that the means of protection that will protect me are now gone.
“Your lifeline is now severed. What are you going to do now?”
“..What are you going to do?”
“Yes, will you accept death meekly? Or are you going to make a last resort?”
“…Huh…..Ha…hahahaha…hahahaha…! Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
Vera Jier frowned at my sudden burst of laughter. It was the expression she didn’t like.
“…Are you laughing? Are you afraid of the approach of death?”
“Khehehehe…No…f*ck, I just laughed because your damn words were so funny you bastard.”
What? Accept death? A final outburst?
D f*ck you. Do I look like a f*cking asshole? If Veronica isn’t there, do you look like nothing but a dick?
“As long as there is no vampire b*tch, you have no chance.”
“Yeah…I thought so too. Even just a few days ago.”
“…Are you saying something nonsensical?”
“You can see that now. Was it a mean word or not?”
I admit that Veronica is the biggest part of my energy. Because she was that strong.
But does that mean I am weak? That’s absolutely not the case.
In my own way, now I’ve grown to the point where all the level 80 guys are worth trying. Of course, it’s true that compared to monsters that have reached transcendence beyond level 90, it’s still far behind…
At least Berazie, I’m not pushed back as much as I am against you.
“The Spear of the Void.”
“In the end, did you choose a last resort?”
“I think it’s really fortunate that you’re a wizard…And that’s also because you’re a wizard who mainly uses undead magic.”
Berazie wouldn’t know. How many times I ran a battle simulation with myself in 3 days.
I’ll show you. The fact that there are gaps in overwhelming force.
“…I will kill you..!”
“That’s what I’m about to say, you f*cking bastard!”
Kwagaga River-!!!
***
“…This… Can’t be.”
The world in the shadows, the world of nothingness commonly referred to as the Underworld.
Underworld was not a space anyone could enter. A world only allowed to those who have trained shadow magic to a certain level. That’s the underworld.
“…Is that what you did?”
-It’s been a while, princess.
A voice that resonated throughout the Underworld responded to Veronica’s question as if it were nice to see you.
“…I never thought I would bring you….I didn’t expect it.”
-You seem surprisingly calm. After all, was that man a discard card?
“Discarding cards…That sounds funny, I just believe in it.”
-…The Princess believes in someone…This is the interesting part.
At that moment, the entire Underworld began to resonate.
Underworld is a world of nothingness, so there is neither land nor sky. A world filled only with shadow mana, there was no way an earthquake would happen in such a place.
That means someone is artificially vibrating mana…
“…To meet the most troublesome guy in the most troublesome place…”
-Don’t you know? I don’t know if it’s real, but I’m the strongest in this world. Please surrender meekly.
“There is no strongest. Any being has weaknesses.”
-…We’ll see if you can keep your mouth open after a while.
