The identity of the black thing was a black gargoyle.
The only gargoyle in existence that is not undead, but a unique variant of pure darkness.
As a variant that existed on their own, they possessed overwhelming power compared to normal gargoyles, and they were monsters among monsters, with an estimated level approaching 750.
of course. It wasn’t a level that the people here couldn’t deal with.
The hunters here are known to be the best of Jennix.
The problem was that there were at most three or four of them filling the sky in the dungeon.
There seemed to be hundreds or even more.
And that wasn’t all.
“Wait, boss! Look over there!”
Someone shouted in astonishment.
At the same time, people’s eyes were directed to one place, and there, another unbelievable thing was happening.
You can see the figures of Enotaurs filling the laboratory site from where they came out.
Lee Han-yeok, alerted by the sight, shouted at the executives.
“Everyone deploys their mobile device and runs to the beach. Chief of staff, please take care of the guys above.”
“Well. It’s not difficult, but… … .”
He found it strange to see the chief of staff blurting out the end of his words, and soon realized the situation ahead belatedly.
“At some point… … .”
The ox heads in numbers almost equal to the Enotaur troops in the rear were blocking their front before they knew it.
The Enotaurus gradually increased in strength and surrounded them in all directions in an instant.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
“I think it will be difficult to just get out of here.”
At the words of the commando commander, Lee Han-yeok nodded and shouted.
“Unfold the circle! The magic unit backs up in the air and faces off with a passing squad except for the wounded.”
At his command, the hunters quickly formed a camp.
Since Tae-jeong had never trained, he belonged to the chief of staff’s unit.
The Airborne Interceptor Missile, Iron Spear, had already been summoned to his aircraft.
That time when everyone was holding their breath with their skills loaded.
The gargoyles that had been roaming the air like crows flew towards the ground.
“now!”
Red light rose from the weapons of dozens of hunters at the command of the chief of staff.
It soon became a blazing spear of flame, and was soon shot at the gargoyles.
Roaring!
Fuck! puck!
[You have defeated the Black Gargoyle.]
[Acquire 500,000 Party EXP.]
[You have defeated the Black Gargoyle.]
[Acquire 500,000 Party EXP.]
The first ride was a great success.
After all, it is the strongest magic flyer in Zenix.
Then, a cold chill rose from their new model.
A huge ice spear that appears overhead at the same time.
Again, the chief of staff’s order fell.
“now!”
An ice spear sharpened to pierce the sky was fired at a terrifying speed.
chin. Turtuck. chin!
Gargoyles that are pierced and frozen.
The new model of the cold hardened bastards fell to the floor.
Right then.
One of the junior officers shouted.
“It’s vacant at 45 degrees to the right!”
At that, Taejeong responded with a gun to the right.
“I will take over.”
At the same time, his interceptor missile was fired at the flying gargoyles with a powerful sound.
Shuwook-! bang!
An explosion occurred in the air with a roar.
It was only two shots, but since it had a range, all gargoyles within a radius of 10 meters that were hit directly turned to ashes and scattered.
The hunters who were reloading their magic cheered at the tremendous destructive power.
“Wow! Also.”
“That’s it. The technique that stopped the Meteor Strike.”
“right. It was great then.”
“I was there, too.”
The Hunters, who recalled their majesty in the Battle of the Territory, began to use magic again at the command of the Chief of Staff.
While the magic unit was fighting against the gargoyles in the air, it was unexpectedly struggling on the ground.
It was a place where all the top rankers of Jenix, who said they were long, gathered, but there was no talent to be hit by an unprecedented large-scale offensive.
“How many more are there?”
Shuak! Slow-!
These were the words Lee Han, who had cut dozens of Enotaurs in front of him with one sword, muttered as he looked around.
The number of monsters he has already cut down is well over hundreds.
Where is that?
Those caught by the Special Forces will also be the ship.
This situation was the same for the commando commanders, including the 2nd and 3rd Air Corps commanders, who were holding other defenses.
For that reason, they couldn’t get out of their seats at all.
“Captain, I don’t think there will be an end like this.”
The commando commander who was looking east was a direct message to Lee Han-yeok.
“Are there still many?”
“There is no end. I’ve just communicated with the 3rd Engineering Commander, but he said it’s not decreasing. At this rate, the war of attrition will only continue, and it will be against us. It’s difficult with only ground troops.”
“It is, but it is. Right now, it’s not even that comfortable. At least there is a regional captain, so it’s holding out like that, otherwise it would have already collapsed. Even that seems to be in a state of equilibrium. Receiving help in that situation means abandoning the air, so it’s not clear what will happen.”
At the words of Lee Han-yeok, the commando commander couldn’t answer otherwise.
Because it was true.
Of course, Gargoyles were monsters with a higher rank than Enotaurs.
It was almost miraculous that fewer magic flyers than the Special Forces were doing so much propaganda against such guys.
It is possible because there is Taejeong, who has the firepower equivalent to a single leaflet.
But even after doing this, I couldn’t win.
That meant it was tight.
“How about removing the technical restrictions?”
He responded firmly to the commando’s suggestion.
“That’s not going to happen. I can’t even grasp the enemy’s strength, so I can’t just use the last bastion. Then, when a threat comes that you cannot handle, what will you do then? Level 4 or higher skills take at least 30 minutes to recast. If you’re lucky, you might be able to hit it with an explosive barrage, but if not, it could be poisonous. Moreover, from level 4 onwards, most of the skills eat away at physical strength, so if physical damage accumulates then… … .”
Currently, they were continuing the battle with only minimal skills.
This means that the so-called finish move or special move is not being used at all.
The reason was simple.
It is impossible to measure the strength of the enemy.
Certainly, if advanced skills were rampant, a path might be opened.
But it was possible only when the enemy’s strength was clearly known.
If there were so many enemy forces that it would be meaningless to use it, a situation that was worse than now could have been directed.
This is because most advanced skills have low physical strength.
Right then.
Taejeong’s voice came over the public channel.
“I’ll check it out.”
“Are you the regional leader? If you break away, the main unit will be in danger.”
“Just check with b6-1.”
“B6-1? Are you referring to the aircraft?”
“Yes. I’ll check right away.”
Even if it wasn’t, it was Tae-jeong who was wondering how many guys were in the offensive of the guys who didn’t give up.
Taejeong, who immediately launched b6-1 into the air, directed it toward Gerard.
“Raise it to the right radar display.”
-All right. Sending display. Transmission complete.
“great. How many of these guys… … .”
Looking at the color-changed display window, Tae-jung was at a loss for words.
Black and white dots that dyed the ground black.
On the other hand, the army of hunters seen in the meantime did not show even a handful of ashes.
I zoomed in just in case, and the black dots were monsters.
“this… The situation outside of us? Nonsense.”
It was an army that seemed to number in the tens of thousands.
It’s a situation where even if they put their bodies in at once, it’s an end.
It was strange that Jin didn’t collapse.
There were other bigger problems.
Monsters that continue to be reinforced from the thick fog that has spread before you know it.
The number alone made my eyes dizzy.
“Regional Captain, have you checked?”
Tae-jung paused for a moment before replying to Lee Han-yeok’s communication.
“that is… That seems like a lot.”
“How old do you look? Will there be an escape route to the south?”
“I don’t know the exact number, but it appears to be at least in the tens of thousands.”
“What, what? tens of thousands?”
His panicked voice was heard, and the executives who were listening to the communication intervened one by one.
“Is it really?”
“How many? But how are we still alive?”
“With that much strength, even just sticking out your foot would be the end.”
Their reaction was natural.
The amount of tens of thousands was a meaningless number no matter how strong it was if it could not be solved at once.
There are only about 200 people here, excluding the injured.
It was literally a handful of ashes that would be completely annihilated if they took one action at the same time.
“I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem to attract aggro unless it’s within a certain range.”
“Are you fortunate?”
“The problem is that reinforcements keep coming.”
“Reinforcements?”
“Yes. There is now a shallow fog covering a radius of several kilometers, from which it continues to emerge. The range is so wide that it is impossible to hit the origin.”
“Then what is it? Are you saying that we will fight and die here forever? Is there any way? You are the only one who can see the situation outside right now. Where is the least expensive place?”
“this… Everywhere you look, it’s full of monsters, so you can’t find a better place.”
“It’s happened, this.”
Faced with the situation, Lee Han-yeok was deeply troubled.
If the regional commander was right, there was virtually no way to get out of here.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, the situation continues to be reinforced.
It was an unprecedented task with the current troops.
The only thing that can be tried is to release the skills of all the magic units and the special squadron at once and explode their combat power in one place.
However, if that failed, it would be an annihilation with nothing to look back on.
While they were thinking about it, Tae-jeong was also looking for a way out of the situation.
‘To penetrate this, it is absolutely impossible with modest firepower. once. It should be cooked only once. It will be restored in no time at all, but… But maybe.’
Taejeong, who was thinking, sent a message while looking into the air as if she had made up her mind.
“Captain, I will try.”
“What do you mean?”
“With a bow. Let’s break through.”
“what? how do you… Even for you, this is impossible.”
“I will try.”
“Are you sure? If this goes wrong… … .”
“I know. Do your best to succeed… No, I will.”
At his confident words, Lee Han-yeok made his own decision.
It was because he judged that the regional captain was in a position to do so.
“great. Then let’s try it. But, what are you going to do? Shouldn’t we know what to do whether we help or not?”
Tae-jung thought for a moment at Lee Han-yeok’s question, and then gave an answer.
“I will blow them all away.”
