Episode 61
Benderford’s lead was narrowed to five groups.
It was because talented people including Franz and Ellington worked together.
Apparently, the size of the group of druids was rather large, so they seemed to cooperate in the beginning.
It is already the fifth battle since entering the Calendron Territory.
Franz was now leading the battle quite skillfully.
“Concentrated attack from the right! Break the formation! And the wizard!”
At the cry of the 2nd prince, Sophia, who was far away, began to recite a spell.
She was one of the few wizards in Benderford.
In fact, the others were less than Tier 8, so it could be said that Sofia was the only proper wizard.
“The inherited power of wind will push and destroy everything. Wind blast!”
Pew!
The wind attribute magic was powerful enough to shatter the formation of the druids at once.
Franz didn’t miss the gap and stormed the battlefield.
“Gazua! Heuap!”
Spit-! Kwajik!
The second prince’s judgment was timely.
Because of the unexpected blow, the group of druids were busy retreating in a hurry.
“More in!”
Franz didn’t even give his opponent a chance to regroup, and pushed them like crazy.
As a result, the group of 1st level druids had no choice but to quickly lose their reputation.
“Feed the wounded with potions, and start arranging the battlefield.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Prince.”
The battle has been won, but important decisions remain to be made.
Franz and Ellington looked around the corpses of the druids and entered into subtle negotiations.
“Are we going to divide it equally this time? The damage is a bit big on our side.”
“Wasn’t the magic support too good for that? It was Miss Sophia’s performance that broke the formation.”
“Ha! Do you think I would have been able to use magic if I hadn’t endured it on the front line?”
“So how many people did it end up hurting? How much damage would you like to test?”
The princes were in sharp confrontation.
It felt like sparks flew between the two of them.
However, the confrontation between the two princes did not last long.
It was because a heavy roar came from the tributary of the mountain range densely covered with beautiful trees.
“Kuwouh-!”
thump thump thump! Wow!
What appeared with a roar that shook the earth was a monster engulfed in red aura.
A being with unusually thick arms and four eyes embedded in its head.
The height was not much different from that of the 1st Druid, but the size and intimidation were quite different.
“That guy… the 2nd?”
“I guess so. We’ll do the distribution of majors later.”
“Why don’t we decide to kill him at this point? Then you’ll see a clear gap.”
“Well, good.”
At Franz’s suggestion, Ellington nodded his head kindly.
A spear is more important than a shield to deal with a monster like that.
The 3rd Prince, who had a magician, seemed to think he had an advantage.
“The one with the shield, come to the front! Block his movements!”
“Yes!”
At the command of the 2nd prince, two students began to press on from both sides.
However, the opponent was a different dimension from the ones he had seen so far.
“Wow!”
Puff!
As the 2nd Druid swung his arms violently, the two students’ new models bounced far away.
They flew off scratching the ground and crashed into the trunk of a tree, but they couldn’t even scream.
The students who watched it felt as if their hair stood on end.
They were surprised by the opponent’s overwhelming majesty and life.
As soon as the druid rushed in, the 2nd prince suddenly came to his senses and shouted.
“Bar, defensive formation! All the guards stick to the front!”
The students managed to follow the second prince’s orders well.
To be honest, it was a great thing to do this much in a state of fright.
However, despite their efforts, the formation was broken in a single blow.
Kwak!
“Queuck!”
“Oops!”
The students who were hit by the 2nd Druid bounced around.
It was like kicking a paper doll.
The bastard charged straight into Franz.
It was an act of clearly recognizing who the conductor was.
“If you’re coming, come. Hwaap!”
Despite being intimidated, Franz seemed quite composed.
The appearance of concentrating on the swordsmanship.
round and round
The 2nd prince pushed the sword all the way with a graceful motion.
He placed the blade on the opponent’s fist and applied force to change the trajectory of the attack.
Then, the 2nd Druid’s punch landed in the wrong place.
Kwaaang-!
A rock the size of a house shattered with a roar.
Even as stone dust and debris flew around, Franz’s concentration did not break.
In order to shed the fists of the opponent who were shot in succession, he tried to bring the sword again.
However, the opponent did not take it lightly enough to be hit twice by the same trick.
Didn’t the flying fist spread wide and grab the second prince’s sword body with a snap?
chin!
“This, profit!”
When the sword did not move no matter how much he tried, a moan escaped from Franz’s lips.
The second-order druid laughed, exposing sharp teeth.
“Gheuk! It’s obvious that it’s the movement of a kid with no real combat experience.”
The swordsmanship that the 2nd prince just practiced was a swordsmanship that only members of the imperial family could master.
It was only a short sword, but its power was clearly proven.
But that’s a rule that only applies when it’s human to human.
It was a bit difficult to see the druid as a person who was united with the monster’s soul.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The second spirit druid flicked his long, halved tongue and raised his arm high.
A movement to put an end to it by striking the fist as it is.
Franz struggled to get out of range.
However, there was no ingenuity to avoid being hit by a guy with an arm length of over 3m.
But that was just then.
“Heavenly rock, pierce and destroy. Magma spear.”
Suhuaaak-! Pooh!
Something dark red that flew in from behind pierced the second druid’s armpit.
In addition, the magma that exploded at the point of attack was very painful.
“Aagh!”
Franz reflexively jumped up.
Then, he rushed at the second-class druid who was struggling in pain.
Sukkeng! Chow!
Let’s feed it properly and drive it, and the opponent begins to collapse rapidly.
The 2nd Prince did not miss the opportunity and continued to attack.
Beads of sweat poured down like rain, but I couldn’t stop.
If we don’t put an end to this, everyone will perish like dogs.
Shiiik-! Kwajik! Puff!
Sofia’s spear-type magic that flew in an elaborate trajectory.
When Franz’s support was added to that, a breakthrough seemed to be in sight.
But, that was just then.
“That’s it!”
Whoops! Whoa!
The weak 2nd prince allowed the opponent to take a blow.
It seemed that he gathered all his strength while crouching and then burst it in one blow.
thud! Drooling!
Franz was able to stop only after scraping the floor for ten meters.
In the meantime, the attack of the members led by the 3rd prince exploded in numbers.
Bubbubuck!
Then the 2nd Druid died soon after.
“Whoop! Whoop… Whoop!”
Although the vomit was continuously poured out, the second prince looked quite normal.
He was saved thanks to the plate armor imbued with magic.
When I raised my head with difficulty, I saw the face of Ellington, who had approached me before I knew it.
“I’ll admit it this time. You hold on to me well, right?”
“Keuugh! Shut up.”
Grinding his teeth, Franz stood up and stared at the druid who had returned to human form.
To be pushed back so much by the 2nd Commander, who is only a low-ranking commander.
I realized how strong the power of Brezhnev, one of the Seven Horrors, was.
The 2nd prince walked away reluctantly and tried to take care of his teammates first.
But Franz eventually had to stop.
The man in the black robe stood alone next to the druid’s corpse.
“Hmm? Who is the author?”
Ellington also noticed him and put on a serious expression.
It was because he found a black pendant that spewed out strange air currents through the cracks in his robes.
Seal of the Black Ghost.
The 3rd Spirit Druid appeared in the middle of the students.
Even the 3rd prince, who was always sober, could not hide his tension and drool.
“Mmm,”
It was close to impossible to deal with the third spirit in this state right now.
Running for life would have the highest chance of surviving.
The scattered members of the crew were left as they were.
However, it seemed that escaping would not be easy either.
The eyes of the 3rd Druid, who creaked and raised his head, were gazing at the students.
“I heard that the empire gathers the children and does something…”
The guy who was muttering in a hoarse voice noticed Franz and Ellington and his eyes lit up for an instant.
It was as if he had met a windfall along the way.
The 3rd Druid said, tearing the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his ears.
“hehehehe! I wondered where I’d seen them, were they the princes?”
thud! Boo deuk!
Every time the 3rd Druid moved its body, a sound like bones being crushed could be heard.
Seeing the eerie and grotesque movement, the faces of the students instantly turned blue.
It was because the momentum emanating from the opponent was terrifying.
Even though it hasn’t even transformed yet.
“A very good prey appeared. Kelkekekekeke!”
The opponent let out a grotesque laugh, revealing dozens of fangs.
It felt like a demon from hell bursting into madness.
Wooduk! Dudeuk!
At the same time, the strange sound of bones continued.
He came towards the students with staggering steps.
Each time it was getting bigger and bigger.
After approaching to a distance of 5m, the 3rd Druid’s expansion in size stopped only then.
“It’s filthy big.”
His size was by far outstanding.
With a height of about 4m, the twitching muscles that covered his entire body was quite menacing.
White hair grew from its skin, and its snout grew all the way forward.
“Kwauuu!”
Touwoon-!
It roared, baring its razor-sharp teeth, sending out shockwaves that shook the earth.
Eventually, the 3rd Druid nodded and emitted black air currents from his eyes.
“Spirit Descent, Ancient Wear Wolf.”
Listening to the thoughts that resonated strongly in my head, it seemed that the soul of the monster he summoned was a werewolf.
The first species of monster that was said to have erupted from a monster in ancient times.
As pure-blood, the Ancient Wear Wolf was an incredibly powerful being.
How strong could he be, given that he had brought in the spirit of such a monster and shared its power?
“Crazy, how do you overcome something like that…”
“Let’s do something. Let’s match the sum like the 2nd intellect.”
Ellington suddenly approached and encouraged me.
It was advice from my younger brother who was like a thorn in my eye, so I didn’t like it.
But now, working together as much as possible seems to have a higher chance of survival.
“Yes. You’re right. I’ll try to create an opportunity somehow.”
Ellington nodded at Franz’s words and immediately moved to a distant place.
Since the guards were all gone, he came forward to protect Sofia.
In the meantime, the 2nd Prince formed a formation with the remaining students.
“Whoa! It’s fun to see you screaming.”
Even though they were surrounded, the 3rd druid did not move.
It was as if he was observing something with interest.
Seeing them smiling round and round, it seemed that they felt the movements of the students as if they were joking around.
Hey Ii-! Quaching!
The battle started with Sophia’s magic attack.
As if the mana consumption was severe, the magic spear was the main focus this time.
However, the magic that touched the fur of the target bounced off in vain.
Shiiik-! Tuoong!
“Now! Heuap!”
The magic failed, but Franz did not hesitate to enter and attack.
Whatever the situation, now was the most appropriate moment.
The rest of the students also charged and stabbed the 3rd druid with sword strikes.
Kaga gaga gaga river!
“Suck!”
“This crazy…!”
I hit the fur hide with the sword imbued with an aura, and to my surprise, a sharp metallic sound came out.
Franz and other students looked at the tingling grip and sword body with absurd expressions.
Some of them seemed to have weakened the strength of their auras, and it was because their swords had just been broken by the impact.
Suddenly, when I looked up, I saw a large wolf’s head letting out a fishy laugh.
“Is it over? Kids.”
I haven’t even seen the attack properly yet, but the students couldn’t move at all.
After the absurd results, a terrifying murder has come.
Whoo! Tumbling-!
The 3rd Druid lightly waved his arm.
Then the four students who were lined up on the left threw up blood and bounced far away.
The remaining power was completely blown away by the playful blow.
gulp!
Faced with the opponent alone, Franz couldn’t overcome the tension and swallowed dry saliva.
But at that very moment, I heard someone’s voice behind me.
“Move aside? He’s ours.”
