77 Tue – Invasion and Erosion (6)
“What? It’s more than I thought…”
“Don’t be vigilant, Jack. Everyone fix it. There are definitely some leftovers.”
The knights who won the first clash gathered around the leader and rearranged the line. Meanwhile, the young wizard, the core of this truth, got off his horse and looked at something.
“What are you looking at, Ares?”
“It’s a little bit special.”
“strange?”
“All the old records of the Dooms are still in the video.”
The wizard got up with a serious expression.
Then he began to tell the story of the old days he had studied.
“I’ve been told that the Dooms are basically in the form of their victims, dyed alive. This includes animals, of course. But, to me, I don’t think there’s ever been a creature like this in the world.”
He said raising the head of one of the legionnaires.
It was a figure that could not be found anywhere, with a black carapace clad like a knight’s armor, whether it was a beast, an insect, or a crustacean.
For a moment, everyone’s mouths were shut. Those red eyes that ran with all their might with the will to kill them only crossed my mind.
“It is said that they first appeared in the ancient labyrinth. It must have changed something. We are not tired of obsolete ancient creatures.”
Then, the knight commander, who had been urging him to be nervous until recently, smiled ferociously and evoked a serious atmosphere.
However, Ares, the wizard of the Stars Society, was skeptical about that.
‘In just one night, the entire area was hit at the same time. Of course, if they are simple beasts like now, they will be suppressed soon.’
There were things that I picked up because I came from a promising academy. Among them, the situation at the time when a request for relief flew in through numerous communication channels in the middle of the night was included.
The city hall that rules the raided city of Rihelm, the research director of the Blake Society, which has a branch in that city, as well as individual wizards in the city, and wizards staying in nearby villages.
His senior clearly described the scene of everyone crying as a terrible hell he had never seen before.
‘Is it true that the Destroyer who made the judgment of extinction in the first place?’
“This? Everyone be on the lookout!”
That’s when Ares, who had an unanswered question, was about to get on the horse again.
The knight leader, who sensed something, put the demon spear in the saddle and drew his sword.
‘come.’
“The earth shakes!”
Ares, who sensed the shaking of the ground, opened his eyes, and at the same time the knights were astonished and tried to control the horse running wild.
He knew that it was too late to run away.
All they desperately needed to do was grab the reins and hold onto their horses.
“It’s down!”
Someone shouted about the events taking place on the ground.
Something in the ground twisting at random, was approaching this way with great speed.
“this.”
With the commander’s low sigh, an explosion sounded and the ground they were standing on exploded like an explosion.
Ares closed her eyes tightly in shock. He jumped into the air along with the horse he was riding on, and immediately hit the floor with a strong impact.
Horses and knights soared higher in his blurred vision, grimacing in shock.
‘Cuckoo..’
I could feel the thick, fishy taste of blood in my mouth.
Something appeared and covered his body with a shadow.
Another monster with a huge, solid-looking body that appeared halfway from the ground.
One of his two stout arms, used to smash rock and dig, was raised to strike him down with its claws up.
He had to avoid it, but his throbbing body could not be moved easily.
“Wake!”
It was the commander of the Knights Blitz who had rescued him from the strong hand he was swinging.
The commander of the knights who rolled the ground together with the bursting shock wave patted Ares’ cheeks again and again.
“You are the core of Jinbeop. If you lose your mind right now, everyone here will die.”
“Yes Yes!”
Crushed by those blazing eyes, he nodded desperately.
“Everyone, take a seat!”
The knights commander controlled the surviving knights. All the evil knights stood up with their swords.
Once again, the attack that had been at the forefront flew in. But the knights weren’t just standing there for nothing.
‘Take the knights with magical powers as the axis. Draw the circuit. defense octet.’
The central axis and core, the wizard Ares, sweated and cast magic.
In response to the movements of the knights who moved in harmony, they spread the strongest defense that a single wizard using them could deploy.
“ね!”
“You survived!”
All of them remained in place until the moment of death.
The result is an enemy attack that bounces off with a strong impact.
“To the offensive line!”
At the same time, the knights once again adjusted their positions.
It was a movement engraved into the bones that was expressed by repeating the sum over hundreds or thousands of times.
Instead of a shield this time, their bodies were engulfed in flames of blazing magic.
“Turn around!”
The knight commander took the lead in that state and jumped out. Before the buff on the body disappears, the enemy had to be cut.
‘It works!’
Ares, who remained behind, clenched his fists.
That huge, thick armor that wouldn’t even eat a seed with an ordinary spear knife was cut and sprinkled with blood.
With the help of a colleague, the knight commander flew into the air and slammed his sword into the head, and the monster’s body began to slowly collapse.
Ares, displeased, hurriedly ran to the knights.
“Prepare the magic. It’s not over yet.”
However, the knight commander raised the tension even more and pointed his hand in front of him.
“What the hell is that…”
Ares muttered blankly without knowing it.
After the corps had grown to some extent, mass-production of all-round soldiers was stopped for reasons of efficiency.
Instead, the versatile soldiers were converted into higher-class legionnaires by investing more resources.
The advantage of being versatile and the weakness of lack of firepower were filled with shape power.
Now, the high-ranking legionnaires trio appeared in front of those who managed to win.
Among them is a slender figure with short black hair.
“Sit down! Escort formation!”
The knights who did not dare to analyze and evaluate their opponents moved swiftly once again.
This time, it was a formation to fight while protecting the target.
Breathtaking tension and silence. The opponent also began to move.
The legionaries on either side slowly drew their swords into their four arms.
Robbery-yeon, who was standing in the middle, also raised a sword. Everyone was terrified of the dark red burning sword.
“I will advance!”
There were only three opponents, but Ares, who felt something ominous, fired a spell.
It was a hastily made order, but it was not negligible.
“Unbelievable.”
However, the blue magic spear they shot was easily blocked by the dark red barrier they had created.
This time, the legions moved as if the turn had been taken over.
“come!”
The knights met their opponents in a defensive formation.
Two high-ranking legionnaires who smashed the ground, wielding their four swords to their tails, rushed towards them.
“These guys…”
In order to punish the enemies who were almost sucked into the formation prepared in advance, the knights rushed from all directions and swung their swords with all their might.
However, not even a single sword strike was reached. It wasn’t sucked in in the first place.
In a fleeting moment, the knights’ limbs were cut and spattered with blood as they swung their swords and tails as if rubbing their backs against each other.
“Shhh…”
The knight commander grabbed the tail that had pierced his chest and vomited blood.
His body was lifted up as it was, and his eyes met with the superior servant. Six gleaming eyes in the armor and eyes full of rage now dying out.
“That pass…obviously…”
Dying, he recognized the identity of the pass written by the enemies intruding. It was incomparably more developed and dense than the original version, but it was clear that one of the knights had been practicing as their main specialty.
Of course, there was absolutely no reason for the Legion to resolve the question. Judging that he had no information to omit from his wide-open eyes, the high-ranking servant swung his tail and threw away his corpse.
Even when he died and flew away, he held the sword tightly and did not let go.
All that’s left now is the wizard, Ares, whose original purpose was.
“I will not die alone.”
The moment all the knights fell. Ares, who had made up his mind to self-destruct, cast a spell.
Seeing this, the high-ranking servant pointed his arm at Ares.
And at the moment of a miss, a large poison thorn fired from his forearm was lodged in his chest.
The corps, who had already experienced suicide twice, planned to avoid being subjected to the same thing three times.
“Turn it off…”
Ares’ body collapsed forward, unable to resist the infectious bacteria spreading through the body, centering on the poison thorn.
The Legion recovered his immobilized body as it was.
Even though he didn’t know that he would die or suffer without cooperation, he struggled with a sense of despair.
‘Your body is no longer yours.’
Then, someone’s whispering will entered my brain through the infectious bacteria that took over my body.
