Episode 59. The end of the third floor, an army without a heart (5)
“Don’t keep provoking me. If we fight properly, we’ll suffer a lot, but you won’t survive here either.”
Cedric tried to calm his anger.
Just hearing his voice makes me angry at being provoked by a blue kid.
“Yes yes. Elderly. I know you have a lot of undead troops and a lot of preparation, so stop overworking your teeth. They say implants cost a lot of money these days.”
“This… this this! Son of a bitch! I will kill you!”
Cedric’s face flushed red.
At the same time, a huge amount of mana emanated from the staff he was holding with both hands.
Cuckoo coo!
[Cadrick activates his unique skill ‘Grave Keeper of the Black Tomb’!]
[Special skill ‘Guardian of the Pyramid’ activates!]
“Cadrick! You can use it here!”
“There will be no magic power left to deal with the boss monster!”
The Necromancers urgently shouted.
But it’s already too late.
Because Cedric, who was full of determination to tear his opponent to pieces, couldn’t hear anything.
“You shut up and follow my orders!”
Even if I fail the boss fight, if only I could kill that guy wearing the mask!
The Mine Association also has something to say.
No problem.
Now I just have to focus all my attention on killing that heinous bastard.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
It was then that the ground began to crack.
“Kuaaa!”
“Kieek!
New undead arose from the ground.
Mummies covered in bandages.
The splendid armor made of gold and jewels and the unique Egyptian crescent-shaped sword stood out.
“Huh! Huh! Huh…”
Cedric’s heart fluttered.
His complexion turned pale due to the consumption of a large amount of mana, but his face was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
“It’s the ability to summon the Pharaoh’s bodyguards…”
Seeing things like this.
Necromancers and those with summoning skills leave everything to their subordinates and give orders behind the scenes, right?
To be honest, I’m envious.
if.
“If only those subordinates were made up of really useful guys.”
Those who get in the way are just rags, even if only ten thousand, not thousand, gather.
no, it’s even worse
The amount of mana required to maintain these many will be beyond imagination.
“You still have that arrogant snout. good night. Let me show you that it’s not just tens of thousands.”
Cedric gathered his mana once again.
Tsutsutsutsu! Chi-tsu…
I thought the staff was shining, but then it flickered and blinked.
The mana did not gather as intended.
“Sheesh! Did I overdo it?”
Cedric clicked his tongue briefly.
But it was only for a moment.
“come here. I am very hungry right now.”
Cedric grabbed the neck of the necromancer next to him.
“Cadrick-sama…? Aaaaagh!”
Whoops!
Vitality absorbed through the palm of your hand.
The strangled necromancer twisted his body wildly.
I struggled to get out somehow, but to no avail.
There was no way Cedric would let go of the prey he had once obtained.
“Be still… be still. Even if you struggle, it will only lengthen the pain.”
Keep going! Whoops!
“Turn it off… uh!”
The screams gradually subsided.
Soon, the completely withered body of the necromancer was shattered.
“Disgusting. Weren’t we on the same side?”
Jinhyuk frowned.
“Whoops. Of course it’s on the same side. Isn’t that why you sacrificed your precious life for our victory?”
“He speaks well even though he killed without consent.”
“Perhaps he would have agreed. If you go to the underworld later and meet him, ask him in person.”
Cedric, who had enough magic power, touched his staff.
OK.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Mira soldiers joined the front line.
A wire that was pushed unilaterally by the Moai statues. However, the new reinforcements completely turned the tide of the war.
Kwak!
bang!
Spears made of gold created wind holes in the statue’s body.
Measured movement. Besides, the power is also overwhelming.
‘If the heat gathers, it’ll be about one Death Knight.’
No matter how much the Moai statues possessed the power to destroy dozens of undead in a single blow, they couldn’t narrow this power gap.
“How is it? Can you scream out loud after seeing this?”
Cedric smiled confidently.
On the other hand, Jinhyeok bit his lip.
“…”
Seeing that, Cedric trembled as if he was even more excited.
“Puhaha! Have you lost your words? Okay. It’s normal to be afraid!”
“huh?”
Jinhyuk tilted his head.
What is this guy talking about?
“No, I was so dumbfounded that I was at a loss for words. Did you seriously intend to attack the boss monster with just this much?” No matter how well you look
at it, it seems like it will be annihilated
in 5 minutes .
but.
Despite heartfelt advice, Cedric judged all of this to be mere bravado.
“You’re talking nonsense when you’re cornered. what happened Let’s stop boring conversations here.”
Cedric gave the order instead with a hand gesture.
“Keye!”
“Keeck!”
The mummy soldiers roared wildly.
The muzzle was torn vertically and black smoke flowed out.
“Kill him.”
＊＊＊
A forest a little far from the temple.
At the highest point among the densely towering trees, two men and women were sitting on the branches watching the battle.
They were Melena and Richao sent by the Mine Association.
“Hmm. Are you more reckless than you thought?”
Melena tilted her head.
Liqiao immediately responded.
“The intention of destroying the base at first was good, but not escaping after that was stupid.”
“Poop! Well, that’s not courage, it’s stupid. But what was he thinking that he didn’t run away?”
“It must have been a misjudgment of the power difference with the opponent. He thought it was worth looking at only Skeleton and Dyurahan, but he was completely wrong. Cedric’s unique ability is much more annoying than that.”
Black magic to resurrect ancient corpses is certainly useful.
That’s why Cedric was in charge of this raid.
On the other hand.
The opponent the officer was so wary of was, by definition, sloppy.
“Because you’re so stupid. There is no need for us to go out.”
You will be able to organize enough in Cedric Sun.
Just when I thought so.
Pants…!
A strange aura emanated from the masked man.
“hmm?”
“What is that?”
It wasn’t the magic or divine power of the cold attribute that I showed you a while ago.
Ominous and dark aura.
The pupils of the two rapidly dilated at the hideous magic power that completely covered the daggers.
“Are you kidding me? What kind of absurd skills do you have?”
Melena jumped up from her seat in disbelief.
It was disconcerting for Liqiao as well.
“No way…”
Did you have the confidence to win against that scale?
It is nonsense.
no matter how strong
No matter how confident you are in your skills.
Who can guarantee victory against such a large army?
gulp!
Liqiao swallowed dryly.
Due to the battle with the stone statue, half of the power was tied up, and three magic bases were also destroyed.
If all these were traps designed by the opponent.
If he had calculated that he would provoke Cedric and end up being surrounded in the middle of enemy lines…
…maybe he would end up with the worst imaginable ending.
＊＊＊
[The Grave of Swords is activated!]
Creepy.
Goosebumps broke out all over his body.
‘Yes, this is it.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
A sense of exhilaration permeating every corner of the body.
I liked ‘Ice Sculpture’ and ‘Blessing of the Stars’, but this is why I especially preferred ‘Grave of the Sword’.
‘General magic or divine-type abilities don’t have this thrilling taste.’
This ability to pursue only attack without paying attention to defense was the ability that truly made a deceased person look like a deceased person.
‘Um… was it like this?’
Jinhyeok drew a dagger left and right with black energy.
A smooth trajectory followed from a point to a line.
And after several attempts,
finally.
‘oh! done.’
A piece of ‘Chuhon Sword Dance’, which Chun Yu-seong learned, has been reproduced.
[The comprehension of the spirit sword increases.]
Jinhyeok performed an incomparably more elaborate sword dance.
If Chun Yoo-seong had seen this scene, he would have collapsed with foam on his face.
Because it was an act of completely ignoring the years of digging a single sword for over 10 years.
However, now that the talent of the Sword Demon was manifested, such things did not matter at all.
Boooooong!
Booung!
The sound of the wind cutting gradually softened.
now i get it
How did the season called the memorial sword come into being?
[The comprehension of the soul-death sword has risen to a higher level.]
How to use the soul-death sword properly.
entire.
[The comprehension of the soul-destroying sword has risen to a very high level!]
Numerous memories flooded into Jin-hyeok’s head along with the status window that appeared one after another.
And right at that moment.
‘Death Soul Sword Dance’.
Black flames flashed in all directions.
‘The Fifth Formula’.
The tip of the sword that even Chun Yu-seong could not reach.
And the realm of talma beyond the end.
‘Death of souls’.
The fifth herb ceremony, called the essence of the soul-death sword, took place right here.
“What…”
An earthquake shook Cedric’s pupils.
At the same time, the sword crossed horizontally.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
The first thing that came was the black wind.
A weapon loaded with mana, not just wind.
That’s why the mummies in front had no choice but to be defeated helplessly.
“Kieack!”
“Keeck!”
His entire body was torn to pieces, and chunks of blackened flesh poured out.
“Big!”
Cedric’s shield was also shocked.
Cuckoo!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
The three-layered defense shield shook like crazy.
However, before he had time to catch his breath, the real sword attack of ‘Cheonghon Destroyed Heaven’ came flying.
This time, I didn’t feel the strong pressure on the shield.
instead.
Awesome!
An eerie cracking sound rang out.
Cedric’s head slowly turned downward.
Of course, I couldn’t see the arm that should be shown.
“This can’t be…”
All the mummies were cut to pieces with just one swing of the sword?
If that wasn’t enough, smash the shield and even cut off the arm?
rattle!
His chin trembled involuntarily.
Until recently, he cursed at his disciple Alex, who died in vain.
Because I couldn’t understand why I lost after commanding the undead.
But it was only in this situation that I finally understood why Alex died without doing anything.
These monsters can’t be defeated.
Running away is the only way to save your life.
“Death Knight…Stop the author right now!”
Now, even the stone statue was fine.
Even if it meant losing all the rest of the Undead and Necromancers, we had to get out of here right now.
Cedric picked up the severed arm.
Then, whipping his body before collapsing, he walked toward the north door.
No, I was going to walk.
“If you want to leave the stage, you should have gotten permission from the other person first.”
The voice I didn’t want to hear pierced my eardrums.
right at that moment.
[Black moon night is activated.]
A black moon hung over Cedric’s face.
