Episode 410 New Altar (2)
The break did not last long.
After taking a break for only a few hours, Ray concentrated on completing the seat board again.
The sixteenth magic circle.
Even with the addition of even the smallest magic, the amplified power would be far beyond imagination.
If he had enough mana to handle it, he could turn evening into morning with only Circle 1 Light magic.
Soonbok drooled with a worried expression.
‘…I’m afraid that the magic circle will be used incorrectly. Someday high elves and other beings will learn too. I don’t know if teaching me the sentences was the right thing to do.’
As the size of the magic circle increases, the required mana also increases accordingly.
That’s why humans wouldn’t be able to use magic enough to blow up an entire castle, but it was possible for other creatures.
No, even for humans, it might be possible at least once if a large group of wizards like the magic corps put their heart to it.
The development of weaponry magic will undoubtedly hasten the destruction of Middle-earth.
Is it okay to incur a greater danger in order to prevent the current danger?
I was worried for a moment, but then I shook my head.
‘There’s no way other races could succeed with something like that.’
In the first place, the one who overlaps more than ten magic circles is abnormal.
Usually, even if there are only three, you will hear the sound of the jongsa (宗師).
If so, what names will the sixteen be called?
The idea of submission did not last very long.
Surprised to see Ray fall down, he approached one month to find the 17th magic circle drawn on the wooden board.
– oh my! You’re making a little fuss!
Soonbok nervously hugged him.
Contrary to what is said, it is laid on a soft, gentle place.
Then, as Ray ordered, he took out a wooden box from his leather pouch.
There was something unknown that gave off a strong sour scent.
‘…Did he tell you to feed him with water if he collapses?’
I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to use this smelly thing for, but if you want to peel it, it’s a spirit.
As I shoved a chunk of the source of the strong smell into Ray’s mouth, he seemed to have lost his mind and let out a drool.
“Ummm…”
It was terrible.
It was similar to the smell of rotting animal carcasses, and it made the inside sick like the smell of burning hair.
It’s the smell that even the dead would wake up to.
It was so powerful that even a spirit that would normally not say a word would frown.
When Soonbok poured water into his mouth, the medicine was quickly swallowed.
How many minutes have passed since then?
Ray slowly opened his eyes.
The trembling body soon found stability, and the blurred eyes overflowed with energy.
Ray, who looked down on his condition for a moment, nodded in satisfaction.
“The taste is not dirty and the effect is as good as I thought.”
The taste is bound to be nasty.
The fragrance of the medicine was so strong that I wondered if it was made by mixing all sorts of filth.
No, I wondered if it would be okay to describe this as ‘incense’.
Even Sunbok, a senior wind spirit, felt his nose go numb when he smelled a terrible smell that was not of this world.
Subok asked anxiously.
– Brother, why are you eating dog food yourself? Is it because you’ve been overdoing it for so long? Shouldn’t you take a little more rest?
Ray slowly shook his head at his younger brother’s words.
“Even though this smells a bit like this, there is no restorative medicine like this. The holy water obtained through prayer by the pope himself is nothing compared to this.”
At his words, Soonbok’s gaze turned to the leather pouch of Ye.
Is it so far superior to the holy water that the pope himself drew?
It is the holy water of the pope, who is said to reattach severed limbs.
Besides, it doesn’t smell like that.
No matter how much the contractor said, it occurred to me that it was a little disrespectful to the Pope, who had never seen his face, to put that lump of filth ahead of holy water.
Subok covered his nose and said.
– I’m just going to drink holy water.

After leaning back for a while, Ray got up from his seat in less than ten minutes.
Submission was approaching urgently.
– It’s okay not to be in such a hurry, is it?
“Urgent. I haven’t even finished the seat board yet. If we go on like this, not only the high elves, but even here will be filled with monsters. No, the monsters might jump out of the elven village if you’re not lucky.”
As he spoke, he raised the wooden board again.
There were 17 magic circles drawn in a mess.
There are seven remaining.
If you do that, the seat board is completely finished.
Ray’s hand moved slowly.
Draw pictures using formulas that make up sentences.
The moment you make even the slightest mistake, the 17 magic circles will become bizarre at once.
That’s it.
I didn’t know what would happen to the magic formulas and mana collected on the wooden board.
Soonbok, who was watching from the side, was just nervous.

The Baybone Kingdom was about to die because of the monsters.
The cowardly merchants left their kingdom en masse, and as a result, funds were reduced.
It was not enough to go hungry in financial difficulties, but if the situation got a little more serious, serious financial difficulties could come.
In the castle near the border, soldiers formed a sea of phosphates and adventurers joined the ranks to earn money.
Now, even the mercenary guild and the adventurers guild have their eyes on their monster subjugation.
In order to reclaim the already devoured border, numerous soldiers and mercenary adventurers lined up and faced the monsters.
The millennium raised the flag high.
“Let’s take back the border from the vicious monsters! Show me the fear of Baybon!”
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
With his cry the war began.
The knights who rode the horses in the lead swung their swords and cut down the gigantic monsters.
I’m sorry-!
Perhaps because of the hard skin, the blade covered with the sword aura left only small scratches.
However, they didn’t intend to kill them with the first sword attack, so they just cut through the monsters once and passed them by.
Soldiers followed suit.
As they vigorously pierced their spears and blocked them, the advance of the demonic spirits stopped for a moment.
The knights turned around and cut down the giant monsters again.
Although these attacks were no more than scratches, as the impact accumulated little by little, the epidermis began to crack.
“Keeeeek!”
Koo-ung!
The crayfish-like monster’s claw arm fell off.
With that as the starting point, large-scale magic by wizards began.
Enormous magic rained down on the earth, enough to cover the entire sky.
Kwaaaang—!
Quaang-!
What the magicians were aiming for was a group of small monsters in the rear.
If you pour magic into the front, not only will your allies suffer damage, but you won’t be able to do much damage due to the skin of the monsters.
That’s why it was more efficient to target small monsters.
Their thoughts were exactly right.
Demonic spirits exposed to magic died without even screaming properly.
The group of monsters disintegrated at once as the rear couldn’t come to their senses and follow the vanguard.
Lines on the battlefield are very important.
Does help come at the right time or not?
It was the factor that determined the crossroads between life and death.
Cheoninjang, who seized the victory, led the horse and led the knights himself.
“Keep your distance and dig into the gaps! Never let the monsters line up!”
“yes!”
“All right!”
At the command of the Cheoninjang, the knights quickly dug in between the monsters.
Then the group of demons split into two.
The vanguard surrounded by troops and the rearguard suffering from being hit by magic.
Even a group of adventurers and mercenaries joined him.
With the battle line spread out like wings, they surrounded the monsters, gradually closing the distance and applying pressure.
Even though the number of monsters is greater, the victory has leaned towards the troops of the Baybon Kingdom, who use systematic tactics and strategies.
That moment.
A black fog rose from behind the monsters.
The shimmering smoke soon took form and became the shape of a beast.
When they appeared, the knights who had been cutting down monsters at the forefront fell off their horses as if they were drowning.
Koo-ung!
thump-!
If you fall off a horse with full plate armor on, you could lose your life due to its weight.
Fortunately, they were able to survive because each of them were knights who had reached Auror, but if they were ordinary cavalry soldiers, they would have lost a significant part of their troops in an instant.
With each step they took, the soldiers lay on the ground.
Even the knight commander Geiman, who had endured until the end, knelt down, and the wizards who were watching him from behind were startled.
“What the hell is going on!”
The guard answered the magic leader’s question.
“I don’t know! In my eyes, it looked like he was fighting well and suddenly collapsed!”
“Get me now! Call for support!”
“Wrong! The herald has already fallen!”
“Aww…! Connect the crystal ball! Give up the castle!”
The wizards threw magic to protect the fallen knights, but the number of monsters was so great that they could not handle them all.
In the end, their mana ran out first.
Aaaaaa!
Enemy-! Enemy-!
The soldiers who fought fiercely until just now fell into the prey of monsters in an instant.
At that terrible scene, several weak wizards sat down.
The ground was stained with blood.
The plate armor was torn and flesh splattered here and there.
The fishy smell of blood wafted over the walls.
Fuwook—
the hot wind blew through the magic leader’s face.
monster.
They weren’t monsters like ogres or orcs.
There was something about them that they dared not resist.
It’s as if their only goal is to destroy this place.
They swept the knights at once and stared at the lofty walls.
Those eyes, those gestures.
It showed obvious hostility.
Kingdom.
castle.
riches and jewels.
home.
I found that it was no longer important.
They are not short of food.
It wasn’t even that there was a lack of places to live.
They just wanted to kill all living things except themselves.
Just like the demons and monsters that were said to have flowed from the demon realm in the past.
‘God, what should I do?’
Even the magic leader, who had lost his will to fight, knelt down.
