132. Chapter 132
“Kiyaaa!”
“Goooh-”
Kwaaa-
The sandstorm increased in intensity, and hundreds of monsters roared at the same time as Sewoon and Yasha followed.
Fortunately, the speed of the sand leopard was faster than them.
If the leopards had been a little slower, they would have been swallowed up by that terrible storm.
‘Couldn’t it be that the monster that was said to be sealed has not been released?’
If Seun’s prediction is correct, the identity of the monster is probably a monster that was swallowed by the Outer. Just like the form the statue had originally.
It was possible to resist the erosion of the outer, but if the monster broke through the barrier and popped out, there was no way to deal with it even if it was Sewoon.
Like the statue, the power of the constellation wouldn’t work on the monster either.
‘I’m sure not.’
In the system message that appeared at the end, it was clearly written with the words ‘protect the sandstorm barrier’.
Since the barrier was protected, the monster wouldn’t have come out.
This was probably the last attack the shaman had prepared to attack Skabe.
‘What are the administrators doing?’
Wasn’t there a manager there to orchestrate this situation?
From the moment the powers of the three Demon Gods ceased to work, the tower’s management office and the Constellations would have realized the change.
However, even after a while, there was no contact from the management office.
Can not help it. For now, I have no choice but to overcome the ordeal by following the instructions of the system.
[Yuseoh. Is there?]
[Yoo Seo-ah: Mr. Sewoon! What happened? The ordeal suddenly begins!]
[There was a situation. I’m on my way to the castle wall with the monsters right now.]
[Seoah Yoo: Bring the monsters… … ?]
I contacted her using clan chat.
He had to rely on Diablo Clan and Skabe’s soldiers until he reached the wall and recovered his minimum health.
[Clan members?]
[Seoah Yoo: Everyone just got together!]
[good. You’ll probably reach the wall in about three hours. Until then, prepare for battle. Is it possible?]
[Seoah Yoo: … … all right.]
It took 3 hours to get to the front of the sandstorm, and it took about 30 minutes to get through the storm through the wind curtain.
At the current rate, it would take a little less than three hours to reach the walls.
Time is running out to complete Mercury preparations, but it will be inevitable.
The soldiers were already preparing for the raid, so it didn’t seem like a big problem.
[Seoah Yu: But how do the soldiers… … .]
“Just say I ordered! Ask to see me tonight at ‘Davan’s Tavern’ and they’ll understand!”
[Seoah Yoo: I see!]
Sewoon uploaded Yasha’s words to Clan Chat instead.
As she said, when I talked about the Davan bar, the soldiers immediately agreed and followed Yoo Seo-ah’s instructions.
“Is it like a password?”
“It’s not a password… … This is a tavern set up by one of our ex-soldiers near the south gate. This is where I always go when I block out a sandstorm.”
“okay.”
In such a place, it was information that Yoo Seo-ah, an outsider, could not have known.
Mercury preparations will be no problem once the soldiers start helping.
The question is whether you can stop the numerous monsters following you with what you prepared in a short time of 3 hours.
From here on, it was no longer something that Sewoon could be involved in.
There is only one thing you can do now. All you have to do is trust the Diablo Clan and the soldiers of the southern gate who have blocked the sandstorm with Yasha.

“Hurry up everyone! Time is running out!”
“yes!”
“There, mister! The catapult angle is crooked!”
“Sister, since there are so many monsters, let’s increase the number of weapons!”
“Well, if there are a lot of them anyway, the quantity is more important than the accuracy of each one.”
– Constellation, ‘Black Bird’ nods.
-Constellation, ‘Giant Bird’ is thinking about how to efficiently build a castle wall.
According to Yoo Seo-ah’s instructions, the people of Clan Diablo hurriedly moved.
Everyone was exhausted as they had just arrived after finishing the ordeal on the ninth floor, but no one complained.
At that time, the priority was to help the twin sisters deploy more weapons.
It was because everyone knew very well that that was the way to survive this ordeal.
“Is anyone hurt? If a battle breaks out and the wounds open, that’s more damage, so don’t hold out and get treatment first.”
-The constellation ‘Blood Lion’ agrees.
“Even if you run out of medicine, take a spare!”
Lee Ha-neul was treating people who were injured in the ordeal on the 9th floor or distributing medicine bottles.
Her healing skills have already surpassed Sewoon’s, and she was able to heal quite a few wounds in less than a minute.
Moreover, since the people of the Diablo clan were generally good, few people were seriously injured in the ordeal on the ninth floor.
“Everyone’s equipment is a mess. Everyone leave here and go! I’ll take care of everything while preparing Mercury.”
“thank you. old man.”
-The constellation ‘A Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown’ looks at the messed up equipment and frowns.
Is it because the ordeal on the ninth floor was an anthill?
Most of the people’s weapons and armor were stained here and there with the thick ooze peculiar to insects.
Even sand and dust clung to the top of the dried ooze, so the condition was truly the worst.
It was to the point where I doubted that if I went into the next trial like this, it would sharpen my blade.
However, those worries were alleviated because Ko Chang-seok cleaned it up neatly.
His grooming skills had already surpassed the level of most artisans, and it took only a few minutes to mend a set of equipment.
“Baekhyun, is there anything I can help you with?”
“it’s okay. All the undead who were injured on the 9th floor have finished repairing. Rather, I am excited to have new skills to try.”
Around Baekhyun, there were a lot more undead than before.
Too many to say a single Necromancer can control.
It was a power that was possible because he was the contractor of Gamigin, who was famous as the best necromancer in the demon realm.
In addition, the Manticore, with its legs firmly stretched out among the kneeling undead, was showing off the might of a king encompassing all the undead despite its small size.
The dripping manticore’s extreme poison was in the process of melting even the stone floor.
“Everyone, please cheer up a little more!”
“yes!”
The 3 hours passed faster than expected.
It was a short time, but the number of weapons perched on the wall nearly doubled.
Instead of holding a bow, the soldiers learned how to use the weapon and settled down in front of it.
No matter how well he shot the bow, it was much more powerful to fire a stone the size of a house.
And finally… … .
“Hyungniiim!”
“Everyone, please get ready!”
I began to see two figures riding on sand leopards over the desert horizon.
And after that, the shadows of thousands of monsters were cast.
The dust that accompanied the sandstorm made it hard to see the shape, but the number was enough to overwhelm people.
“Open the gates! We’ll close it as soon as Yasha-sama comes in!”
“Everyone is tightening their arms! Let’s finish it off cool and have a drink at the Devan bar!”
Opening the castle gate at this point when the monsters were rushing in was tantamount to committing suicide.
However, even so, the soldiers did not give up on Yasha. Considering the sand leopard’s size, he opened the gate and strained his body to close it at any time.
However, there was a problem here.
“The distance looks so close!”
“Damn it, even if I close the gate like this, I don’t think there will be enough time to lock it… … .”
After running at top speed for three hours, the sand leopard’s stamina had reached its limit, so it couldn’t speed up.
As the speed slowed down, the distance with the monsters behind was naturally narrowing.
At this rate, after Sewoon and Yasha enter, the invasion of monsters will be allowed.
And then, the voice of Yoo Seo-ah came from the top of the castle wall.
“We will take care of that!”
She raised her arms and focused on the group of monsters.
As soon as the enemies entered the distance of the water-based weapon, I had to give an accurate shooting order to widen the distance between them and Sewoon.
If the instruction is too fast, the attack will miss, and if it is too slow, the distance cannot be increased.
Not only Sewoon, but also Skabe’s fate was at stake.
Normally, she would have been a little shaken by the enormous responsibility, but not now.
‘Yuseo, you protect this place.’
Seun’s last words reassured her.
It was as if Se-Woon’s eyes met as he rode atop a sand leopard that quickly approached.
The moment Sewoon nodded his head as if his thoughts were working.
“launch!”
“Balsaah!”
Bullfight!
Her hand pointed forward, and the people on the wall shouted ‘fire’ in unison.
Various water-based weapons such as huge stones and arrows were activated in unison.
Bang, Kwa Kwang!
Kugu Palace!
“Kieek!”
“Big!”
The monsters whose shapes began to appear before they knew it were caught up in the overwhelming power of water-based weapons and lost their lives.
His body was pierced by a giant arrow, and the battle lines were disrupted as he was crushed by stones.
However, not all monsters were knocked out.
Desert Worm.
It was a monster that was said to grow over 10m tall, but the monster that easily transcended common sense and looked over 20m tall wriggled and rose above the sand.
The guy raised a cloud of sand and bared his teeth at Sewoon.
The circular teeth, like gears, writhed ravenously.
The leopards were too tired to avoid the attack.
Even if they avoided it, they could not close the gate if they were this close.
At the moment of crisis, one of the figures on the wall, whose wrists were relaxed, stepped on the fence and jumped high.
As the sun covered his back, a shadow resembling a giant appeared on the floor.
He didn’t carry a weapon that was common, but he looked more trustworthy than anyone else.
The moment he swings his fist.
-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Open Battle · Jin’.
The Desert Worm, whose head was hit directly, stopped moving for an instant.
Soon, as if proving his nickname of ‘violence’, overflowing power filled his body.
Soon, the power he could not handle did not stop at shaking the inside.
wooong!!
The desert worm’s body exploded in the air.
Sticky ooze and mushy skin were scattered all over the place.
Kang Han-cheol turned his head and met Se-woon’s eyes on the sand leopard, but he did not open his mouth.
He just raises his fist as usual and asserts his trustworthy presence.
“Yasha-sama has entered!”
“Quickly close the door!”
“But that man… … .”
The soldier hesitated to close the gate while looking at Kang Han-cheol’s back.
However, Sewoon knew. Kang Han-cheol made eye contact with him and said a word that he conveyed silently.
It was an unspoken message that he would be in charge of the door, so go in first.
“You may close it.”
“But, if you do that, you’ll be dead!”
“That won’t happen. never.”
“Ah, I don’t know! Really close!”
Hard!
With the efforts of the soldiers, they were able to lock the gate before the monsters attacked.
Kang Han-cheol stood alone in front of the castle gate, but everyone in Diablo Clan believed in his power.
Yoo Seo-ah nodded and shouted again.
“launch!”
“Balsaah!”
Bullfight!
The ordeal of the 10th floor, ‘the approaching sandstorm’ has begun.
