Episode 102 First Victory of the Eastern Allies (3)
Yuma corrected his posture when he was about to swing his sword. The condensed aura accumulated on the sword left an afterimage of light.
Shu Shu Suk!
A bunch of poison arrows, which had been shot high into the sky, rained relentlessly toward Yuma. Yuma didn’t bother to take Tulka out of the attack range and hit the arrow on the spot.
It was throwing eggs at rocks. Poisoned arrows couldn’t inflict even the slightest scratch on Yuma’s body.
Yuma leisurely fired an arrow and grabbed one of the arrows with his hand.
Upon examining the arrowhead, an unidentified black poison was applied. An acrid smell rose from the sticky texture of the dock. It wasn’t ‘solitude’ or extreme poison in the devil realm.
The Demon Army will continue to use poison arrows. It was necessary to know in advance how powerful the poison was. Like candy, the tip of Yuma’s tongue touched the arrowhead.
In the meantime, Yuma continued to shoot arrows with a sad face.
The archers of the Demon Army were thrilled to see it, and they wondered what all this meant.
‘It seems to be some kind of poison that causes the blood to clot. For ordinary soldiers below the sword master, even just brushing against it would be fatal.’
After tasting it, Yuma immediately gave an evaluation of the poison. Later, I thought of asking Natalie to make an antidote.
“Suck!”
As Yuma concentrated his mind, the aura accumulated in Ascalon began to unravel like a thread.
As if the leaves were being dyed, the thin line of aura rode on the ground and headed for the arrows stuck in the ground.
In an instant, about 500 arrows flew into the air, emitting blue light.
“You can’t use poison.”
And as Yuma stretched out Ascalon forward, arrows were shot in that direction.
The archers, who were positioned in two rows at the front, had no choice but to return the arrows they had used.
“Ah!”
“Cuck!”
The archers who were stabbed in the shoulder, neck, or thigh let out a scream and collapsed.
As the ranks dispersed, the barrage of poison arrows that had been fired at regular intervals stopped.
Yuma’s gaze returned to Niackle, who was rising to the sky.
Niackle was sweating and flapping her wings.
Niackle and Yuma’s eyes met. And when I saw Yuma’s sharp sword, I felt a sense of fear as if I had cut my back.
In that human’s bloody eyes, the will to kill himself was vivid.
However, if he only went into the lightning cloud, there would be no other way, even if he was a monster.
Niackle was repulsed by his soldiers who gathered like worms.
[Shoot anything more, that’s clever!]
Whoa!
Yuma swung Ascalon again. It was a blow to cut Niacle in two.
This time, the blue aura blades flashed and split the line.
[Ugh!]
No matter how shabby it was, the demon king was the demon king. Niackle was able to avoid Yuma’s attack by hastily turning around.
However, it could not be helped that the tips of the wings were cut off. A burning pain was transmitted from the affected area, but fortunately it was not to the extent that it interfered with flight.
Of course, ‘lucky’ was always Niacle’s standard.
‘Explode!’
Yuma transferred his will to the small amount of aura buried in Niackle’s body.
It was a variant of the Aura Explosion that he had used when he hit Empey.
Perpuck! puck! The dull noise of flesh bursting. Niackle clearly avoided the Aura Blade, but he had no time to understand why his wings were getting mangled.
[Kaak! Innoh Ohm!]
Niacle’s flight, which lost its center of gravity, became dangerous as if it were about to crash.
But at the same time, Niackle also poured all of her regenerative powers into her bursting wings to avoid falling.
He was an annoying bastard. Displeasure showed on Yuma’s face as she narrowed her brows.
Unlike the demon lords I’ve met so far, there was not even the slightest dignity in that distant eastern land.
Niackle struggled like a dying mosquito. The deputy commander of the Demon Army, who was watching the scene from the ground, was on the verge of melting his heart.
“artilleryman! Is the artillery still there!”
The second-in-command spat out an angry voice.
As long as the monster named Yuma was holding on, there was no hope for this siege unless Niacle climbed into the lightning cloud.
In fact, the deputy commander wanted to withdraw his forces even now. At least half of the troops could be saved.
Then, he would be able to sneak a peek at the opportunity to join the support forces in the rear and attack the Kuzan Castle again.
The deputy commander thought that losing 5,000 soldiers could actually be an advantage since he had also obtained information about Yuma’s strength.
However, he was the second-in-command and was only a high-level demon possessor. All leadership was with Niackle.
What should I do?
“Loading complete!”
“aiming! Aim!”
The muzzles of the magic bombers that had rolled up to the front line pointed at Yuma.
It was difficult to pinpoint the position of the bombers precisely because the camouflage was covered.
“The warlocks too, make camp! Let’s pour siege linkage magic on him!”
The invasion of the Demon Army by Yuma alone was heading into a melee.
The second-in-command commanded the troops busily, hiding his burning feelings.
On the other hand, Yuma was showing a relaxed expression without showing any anger.
It was because he knew that Niackle was a coward, and he was convinced that the allied forces would not be pushed back if he could be swung around like this by one person.
“Shoot!”
Dozens of magic bombers spewed black flames. The demon army’s magic bombardment was an item remodeled by the black magicians.
‘At this level, I think it’s comparable to Lord Adeline’s magic bomber equipped with an amplifier.’
The modified bombers of the Demon Army boasted considerable power. It seemed that the bullet was strengthened by injecting a black aura.
It was difficult for one hastily aimed magic bombardment to completely hit one human.
Like the arrows, most of the shells landed on the ground near Yuma.
clunk hard. The deputy commander unknowingly bit his nails.
And finally, one shot landed directly on Yuma’s chest. The face of the demon soldier who fired the gun came to mind.
So did the other soldiers and the deputy commander.
The modified bomber was one of the core firepower of the Demon Army. Even a high-level sword master would never be safe if he was hit with this properly.
Yuma wanted to plant a little more fear in the hearts of the Demon Army.
Overwork!
So I caught the flying shell with my bare hands. The cannonball caught in Yuma’s grip was rotten without a shape, and only spilled something like black oil.
It was a compressed black aura.
It was poisonous enough to corrode rocks in an instant, but only a little gray smoke rose from Yuma’s grip.
“Are you stupid or naive? Did you think you could stop me with this cat thing?”
A look of despair crossed the deputy commander’s face.
He knew too. They knew that pouring out whatever weapons they possessed would be of no use to Yuma.
It was just an idea to give Niackle time to strike down the lightning.
On the other side of the ranks, the black magicians were constantly memorizing spells and preparing for the yeonhwan magic.
There were several black magicians who were trembling and coughing up blood, probably because they used their magical powers unreasonably.
Even the poisoned arrows and shelling from earlier hadn’t dealt any damage to that man.
Warlocks instinctively felt that their magic would also go back to nothing.
It wasn’t about going back to inaction. Yuma read the rapidly rising demonic energy from one side of the ranks of the Demon Army and fired five Aura spheres towards it.
Most of the black magicians who were preparing for the Yeonhwan magic exploded without a trace remaining.
Niackle’s flight was still sluggish. The lightning cloud was dizzyingly high, and Yuma’s sword was shining brightly.
In addition, while Yuma was stirring up the Demon Army, the elemental spirits of Kuzan Castle perfectly spread the defense.
It looked like a huge green shield wrapped around the capital like a soap bubble.
[We will buy time!]
The four generals who were attached to the deputy commander’s side shouted as they jumped forward.
He was holding a sword in his hand with a grim look, but even that looked like a rat in Yuma’s eyes.
As they began to charge, Yuma’s hand lit up black flames, revealing Amoulah’s sharp blade.
[All troops! rush! Stick to him!]
The generals urged the soldiers and put black auras on their weapons. However, the soldiers were oppressed by Yuma’s murderous intent and could not move hastily.
Then the generals started beating the necks of the soldiers who were frozen nearby.
As the ally’s throat fell, the more intimidated soldiers managed to move toward Yuma.
His eyes looked as if they had become cattle being led to a slaughterhouse. Yuma raised Amura with a cold expression.
“All who stand in the way will die.”
The muscles in Tulka’s hind legs swelled as he tugged at his mane. As the tulka began to charge furiously, the warlord’s steed was frightened and let out a hot snort.
This is how you would feel if you were hit by an uncontrollable avalanche. Just by brushing against the tulka, the soldiers’ armor was horribly broken.
The soldiers who mercilessly bounced off were thrown to the ground with their lives broken or broken.
Some courageous soldiers even stretched their spears as hard as they could toward Tulka’s torso.
However, the blade of the spear did not pierce Tulka’s skin, and rather broke the arm he wielded, leaving him screaming.
wickedness!
Amulla spread a black line. Two generals were absorbed in one attack.
The other two also passed away before they could see all of their fellow generals disappearing into black particles.
Excluding Niackle, those four were the strongest among these troops.
“Niackle! Time to come down!”
As Tulka showed the momentum to come closer, Niackle, impatient, fired black magic in the air.
A black beam of light extended from Niacle’s grip and hit the ground without covering Pia.
“Keuouk!”
“Ah!”
Flames rose from the bodies of the Demon Army soldiers who touched the black beam of light.
The flames were highly contagious, and the burning soldiers ran wildly, writhing in pain.
In an instant, parts of the camp became total mayhem. The commanders shouting to keep their ranks and the screams of the uncontrollable soldiers who caught fire were a jumble of sounds.
Indeed, Yuma drove Tulka zigzag and did not allow a single attack.
[Damn it! Get out!]
Niackle spat out abusive language in a trembling voice. Yuma had no intention of letting him use the lightning cloud.
“run! Tulka!”
Tulka leaped high into the sky, trampling on soldiers and magic bombers.
It was a leap that rose higher than the Niacle floating in the sky.
Yuma, floating in the air, crossed two swords and swung them.
The Aurable Raid, a mixture of black and blue, landed on Niacle’s forehead.
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakl]
Instead of being split in two, Niackle could have paid for it by having one of his horns cut off.
But like a prey bite, Tulka’s sharp fangs pierced his wings.
The wings were ripped off and Niackle and Tulka fell to the ground.
thud! Tulka’s forepaw rested on Niackle’s chest, which had fallen to the floor.
“retreat! retreat!”
The white-faced deputy commander hoisted a retreat flag to announce the retreat. The soldiers turned their backs as if they had waited and started to run away.
And at that moment, the door of the Kuzan Royal Castle opened, and Randel Zach rang out his voice.
“Don’t miss a single one!”
Randell and the elite cavalrymen of the allied forces were coming out of the gate.
