◈ 220. [STAGE 9] Invasion
“You took a breath afterward. Thanks Ash.”
Wipe yourself off with the towel I gave you. Moo-myeong, who also drank a bottle of potion, thanked me for a handshake.
“What happened, Nameless? Why were you in the stomach of Jormungandr?”
I tried to ignore the handshake naturally and asked anonymous.
How the hell are you going to have a miraculous rendezvous in this monster’s ass? Daejeon What happened?
snap!
However, despite my desperate efforts to get out of it, Nameless managed to hold my hand and shake it. Gyaaaaaagh! soap! Bring the soap!
“I was cutting down the monsters that were trying to flood the outside of the Lake Kingdom every time.”
Moo-myeong shook my hand up and down with plenty of gratitude and began to explain. I hurriedly found a handkerchief in my bag.
“Of course, I’m not enough with my own strength… … . It is impossible to block all. Some continued to escape the Lake Kingdom and invade Inse, and these days, there are far more monsters than before. The number of exits is also increasing.”
I see I diligently and thoroughly wiped my hands. Where is the perfume?
“Anyway, so this time, as always, I tried to stop the monster army.”
Nameless looked down at the scales of Jormungandr on which he rode.
“… This time it was this snake.”
“ah… .”
hopefully so
“I also have no experience of blocking Jormungand from the front… Anyway, I was told to stop it.”
“Have you failed and been eaten?”
“No, I was successful at first. We have succeeded in stopping Jormungandr.”
… really? Aren’t you lying?
How can you stop this big snake alone? You’re bluffing right? right?
“But right after… The wolf king has invaded.”
I flinched at the sudden name.
Wolf King? Speaking of wolf king… … .
“The wolf king ‘Lunared’, the leader of the Werewolf Corps?”
“Yes. I know you well.”
every know Because it is a named monster that appears as a boss monster in the game.
Werewolf Corps. A group of monsters made up of werewolves, an elite group of monsters that only appear on boss stages.
‘… Could it be that the boss corps we have to face in stage 10 are the werewolf corps?’
There are no unreasonable appearances in this crappy game. All of these are hints for the future.
If so, are you a werewolf after a vampire? This is a very classic order composition.
“I told you last time, Ash. Some of the nightmare corps commanders are looking for your life.”
“hmm. remember.”
After Orlop and Selendion were killed, everyone put a mark on my head and told me not to eat me.
Ignorance followed the explanation calmly.
“The Wolf King is one of the most ardent seekers of your life. He kept looking for you in the dungeon… … .”
I clicked my tongue. He was a bad fan who even stalked me.
“… I made up this incident when I couldn’t meet you in the dungeon. He devised a strategy to hide his bodyguards in Jormungandr’s body and send them out.”
I opened my eyes wide.
Wait a minute, if that’s the case… … .
“The Wolf King attacked me, who stopped Jormungandr, and in the gap, he fell into Jormungandr’s mouth… The Wolf King’s bodyguard jumped in.”
“… .”
“I couldn’t just watch their plans, so I jumped into Jormungandr’s mouth that was about to close. For the next few days, I was fighting the wolves in Jormungandr’s stomach.”
I let out a sigh of relief.
“But you killed all the wolves?”
“… .”
The silent Moo-myeong pulled out the worn-out long sword from his back and put it forward.
“ash. What can I say with my mouth, but in the Lake Kingdom, I am proud of being stronger than anyone else.”
I don’t know if he’s stronger than anyone else, but it’s an unmistakable fact that Moo-myeong is quite strong.
“However, when I go outside the Lake Kingdom, my abilities are limited. Right now, I am an ordinary human who cannot use any magic or miracles.”
“… The reason why you say it every phrase… … ?”
“The wolf king’s bodyguards jumped into Jormungandr’s stomach.”
Anonymous murmured, embarrassed.
“I couldn’t handle it.”
“yes?”
“Because I became so weak after coming to the surface… I couldn’t stop them all. And they escaped from Jormungandr’s stomach before me.”
The backbone is cracked.
no wait wait for a sec. I mean yes.
“If you haven’t dealt with them yet… .”
Anonymous raised his head and glanced around.
“Those wolves must be hiding somewhere in this snake’s body and looking for an opening.”
“… !”
I gritted my teeth and looked up at the sky. Even the evening glow has faded and the sun is now setting.
At night,
it is time for wolves to hunt.
“Hey Sipal! Suddenly another hostile monster corps invaded!”
screamed and trembled. No dark event? How is this different from a dark event?!
‘No, it’s on a different level from the dark event.’
At least the dark event strengthens the monster corps of the stage, but does not intrude other corps.
In other words, this is a more fucked up difficulty level!
I hurriedly took out a small pistol-like equipment from my bosom.
A flare launcher made at the forge in preparation for this operation.
After loading the orange flare, I pulled it up without hesitation.
Pyuuuu- boom!
Orange flares flew up and exploded in the darkening sky.
***
“Ohhh?”
Evangeline tilted her head as she walked back from the center of Jormungandr’s body to the tail with the hook launcher.
pop!
An orange flare exploded from the tail.
In advance, Ash gave different meanings to the colors of the flares.
Red is for support.
Yellow is the assembly order.
And orange is the perimeter.
‘boundary? Why all of a sudden?’
Entering the forest zone? Or is it now night? Why did you shoot the boundary flares?
While puzzled, Evangeline quickly shot and pulled the hook.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I have to go to Ash’s side as soon as possible and protect him.
Tak-Tak!
Thinking so, I quickly move over Jormungandr’s body,
“… ?”
Something seemed strange.
The shadow under the snake’s body.
There are dozens of beasts with glowing red eyes… … It was stuck crouched down.
Evangeline’s large green eyes blinked curiously.
“… A wolf?”
At the same time as the flustered Evangeline muttered,
taat!
A beast rose from the shadows.
It was a monster half-wolf and half-human.
It walks on two legs like a human, but has thick wolf fur all over its body and a long tail.
A bright red gaze flashed on the wolf’s head with large fangs.
monster.
Flash!
Suddenly, the monster’s claws clawed the air. Evangeline twisted her body in fright and said,
“Whoa?!”
Tsukak!
The monster’s claw severed the gift link between Evangeline and Jormungandr.
“… what?”
At the same time as Evangeline muttered in bewilderment.
Whieing-
Evangeline was thrown out of Jormungandr’s body like a broken kite.
***
Jormungand. near the center.
Pyuuuu- boom!
At the sound of the flare, Lucas and Quylan, who had fainted, widened their eyes.
Jump!
The knight and the bandit king rose at the same time. The two men looked at each other’s eyes as soon as they saw the flares rising in the air.
“oh! Knight! Leader! Did you get a good night’s sleep?”
A member of the punishment unit, who was happily cutting away nerve centers with a drill, flirted with him and held up the drill.
“Look at this. It’s a thing called a drill, but it’s crazy? With this tool, as much as the two of you shoveled last night, we quickly… … .”
“Put it in and take out your weapon.”
“yes?”
“Get out your weapon, hurry! If you don’t want to get lost!”
When Quylan murmured bloodily, the punishment squad member blinked in embarrassment.
Sreung!
Lucas said nothing and drew his longsword. The knight’s blue eyes looked around fiercely.
Quilan, who hastily put on his gauntlet, smirked.
“I guess the knight felt it too.”
“… I can’t help but feel it.”
Even though it was a hot summer night, white breath leaked from Lucas’ lips.
“The smell of the same kind vibrates.”
The penal unit members also hurriedly took out their weapons and swung as soon as they finished preparing for battle
! Whip!
The werewolves that were attached to the belly skin of the snake began to climb up one by one.
A gray-haired werewolf and a brown-haired werewolf. It was of two kinds.
The hair color was different, but the red eyes were the same in both species.
Standing on two legs like humans, the monsters calmly trimmed their claws and prepared for battle.
That number is dozens.
“I always sang about wanting to be a beast man, but when I meet the real person, it’s a bit disappointing.”
Quilan threw a silly joke and raised his fist.
“It’s better to shave your hair, seniors!”
Right after that,
aww –
the werewolf in the lead raised his head and made a noise.
Aww –
aww –
The same sound erupted from the mouths of the werewolves surrounding the punishment unit.
Howling.
The cry spread like an echo, and all the werewolves on Jormungandr’s back uttered terrifying cries.
A normal wolf would simply call a companion, but a werewolf’s howl is different.
Combat power buff through collective resonance.
It is also a corps technique that establishes the identity as a wolf ‘pack’ and facilitates group battles.
Tuuk!
Then the werewolves stepped on the ground on all fours.
The intent to kill flashed in the eyes of the monsters who had awakened their wild nature through howling.
Saliva dripped between the gaping fangs as they bit down on their prey and tasted the flesh.
“Quickly out of the dogs.”
Lucas murmured ferociously as he condensed mana at the tip of his sword.
“Because I have to go check if my lord is all right.”
An ugly glare hung over the knight’s eyes, as if he couldn’t tell which one was the wolf.
***
Jormungand. near the head.
“haha… .”
Junior, covered in blood, sat down, breathing lightly.
From the shoulder blades to the side, the wolf’s claws clawed it.
Shocked by the sudden attack, Junior trembled silently.
Standing in front of him, Reina smiled bitterly, curling up her wrinkled mouth.
“… This is bad.”
The number of werewolves surrounding the two wizards was twenty.
Twice as many troops came in as in the other places. It seems that he noticed that he was the most important troop, the magician, and focused his attacks.
On the other hand, there are only two wizards here.
Is it possible to fight with only two mages without a vanguard?
‘Of course it’s possible.’
Reina smiled.
devoted his life to the military. There was no type of battle that was not fought. Pre-natal water battle… … My mouth hurts just talking about it.
Reina had the confidence to survive by tearing apart all of these poor werewolves.
but.
“… .”
He wasn’t sure if he would be able to protect the young wizard behind him.
There was no other way of fighting that was as awkward for Reina as fighting while protecting someone.
‘If you fight without caring about the kid behind you, the odds are 100%. But if you have to protect this kid… … .’
Reina’s senile eyes shone dimly.
‘… Can I get out alive?’
Taat-!
Dozens of werewolves attacked the head of the struggling old wizard at once.
I don’t think so
