Episode 275
EPISODE.138
The situation in the visual and material world, where Russell’s consciousness was in contact with the pantheon, was gradually going beyond chaos and heading towards the worst.
“Aww! die!”
“Die monster!”
I can hear the sound of using a picket basket from all over the place. Then, a long long spear soared up between the shield-bearers.
snugly snugly -.
The soaring long spear pierced the body of the monsters that were rushing at it like a skewer, and it swelled up!
Dull and sticky blood pours out like a fountain, soaking everywhere.
Through the Bangjin made by combining the shield water and the spear water, the monsters over ten were eliminated at once.
But…
“Come again!”
“Come again!”
The shield guards who were watching the situation from the front shouted in astonishment with a look of tiredness.
As they shouted, a group of monsters were running towards them again.
“Shields! Hold tight! The moment you miss it, not only your lives but the entire square collapses!”
“Retrieve the Changshu Spear! The monsters that cross the shield are blocked by Buwolsu and Swordsmen!”
The knight who gave the order with a shriek gritted his teeth.
The force of the pressing was so strong that the teeth interlocked and blood began to ooze out along the pressed gums.
Meanwhile, the knight shifted his gaze to check the scene beyond the shield.
Kyaruk Kyaruk Kyaruru Leuk-.
Under the purple sky, the cries of unknown monsters echoed from all directions.
Geurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
No, it’s not just monsters.
The dead who returned from the dead, the Undead, were also mixed in between.
There were so many of them that I couldn’t even see another square of allies at a mere ten meters away.
‘How long can I last?’
Thinking so, the knight fixed his sword. For some reason, the number of monsters was more than double what was reported.
It’s probably because other monsters were born in the meantime and the number increased.
Nevertheless, the knights and soldiers were not surprised.
There were many enemies where the number of monsters was greater than what was reported in the battles over the past two weeks.
Because they were the ones who overcame such a fierce battle. But that luck seemed to last until today.
‘It’s not a boat.’
Not two or three times, but more than five times. It was already in the middle of a four-hour non-stop battle.
I couldn’t help but get tired of being a human being.
Now, it will be just a matter of time before the square collapses.
‘Can I hold out until reinforcements come?’
In the heads of the knights and soldiers, when such a thought came to mind, BOW!
A sound rang out that made them despair.
A monster resembling a gigantic whale was flying towards us from across the sky, cutting through a sea of clouds.
“Come again!”
“It’s Overload!!!”
That number is in the tens!
As they appeared one by one, the soldiers shouted in a fit of panic.
It has to be.
I don’t know his real name, but the overlord, which means overload, usually has a group of monsters ranging from hundreds to a thousand on board.
A guy with the same shape as a whale passed through the sky and scattered them towards the battlefield.
In that respect, the Overlord was enough to become an object of fear to the soldiers.
Woo woo woo woo-.
As we confirmed that the shadow of the Overlord covered the ground, the face of the knight in command gradually turned white as well.
It was because he confirmed the number of enemies swarming inside the bodies of those who had been sneakily opened.
If all the demons of that number were to fall here, it was clear that the defense line would be completely destroyed as well as the people in the seat.
That moment.
bang!
Flames surged up like a cannon and penetrated the body of the Overlord.
Even that wasn’t enough, causing a series of explosions and burning the monsters inside in an instant.
Woo-woo-!
The overlord’s huge body tilted downward while letting out a scream that felt distinctly different from before.
started to fall slowly.
Patter Patter-.
The corpse of the monster that has turned into a small corpse falls like a rain of pieces.
In addition to the penetrating ability to pierce the Overlord’s gigantic body at once, it even has a blow that burns down the monster inside.
It was no ordinary attack.
Among the many, many wizards belonging to the Day and Night Alliance, there were only two cases where this was possible.
A great wizard who can do the same thing alone, and the owner of the Tower of Flames.
Daria Snowwhite came or otherwise—.
“Gi reinforcements!”
“The War Mages of the Flame Tower have arrived!”
——Only the explosion magic created by the War Mages of the Tower of Flames in tandem.
Faced with the flames soaring towards the sky with the war mages of spying revealing themselves, the knight who was on a mission wiped away the sweat.
I let out a sigh of relief and muttered involuntarily.
“Did you somehow survive today…?”
As they said, the only thing they endured was today.
No one knew the answer to the question of how many more days and days to continue this war.
.
.
It wasn’t just the battlefield that the situation was getting serious.
It wasn’t as much as the battlefield, but the situation was also serious for Wangdo, who was reporting all the information.
“This is a request for support from the direction of the 7th Corps on the Eastern Front.”
“A request for support from the area where the Bronze Thorn Knights are located on the Southeastern Front…”
“The Naze Alliance dispatched a war mage…”
“The supply route heading to the direction where the 12th and 9th Corps are located has been raided! If we don’t open a new supply route right now…!”
Hecate, the regent of Endymion, frowned at the reports coming up in detail.
‘There are too many requests for support.’
It is clear that the speed at which support is sent out cannot keep up with the speed at which requests are flying in, even though it continues to send second-tier troops to where they are needed.
All of this was due to the monster’s army, which more than doubled than expected.
It was clear that if it went on like this, the Union’s personnel would have to retreat repeatedly under the overwhelming numbers.
It was the right situation to continue advancing and attacking the imperial capital of the old empire, where monsters were pouring out… which could be said to be their base.
You might even have to retreat.
‘The only thing that has to be prevented from happening is—.’
What’s even more problematic is that there is no sharp way right now.
‘Though the situation would be much better if we made and send a secondary conquest army instead of supporting small units…’ The
problem was how long it took for them to gather enough to be called a large army and reach the battlefield.
Pressing hard on his temple, Hecate corrected the pen.
I had a lot of worries, but now was the time to solve the problems that were right in front of me as quickly as possible.
* * *
“So…the cultist who wore the skin of the emperor. Are you saying that this guy named Vlad Draculea was your ancestor’s disciple and stole your body?”
This is not a three-line summary, but a two-line summary. While muttering that, Kim Hyeon-seong, the savior of the world, nodded.
“For now, isn’t it?”
A voice overflowing with sorry feelings as he looked at Russell while he was talking.
It was worth it.
It was none other than Vlad Draculea’s ancestors who first taught magic.
“He’s a bit angular, but he’s not that perverse.”
As he spoke, Kim Hyun-seong licked his lips.
According to his explanation, Vlad Draculea was a wizard with a fairly decent talent even by the standards of the Age of Mythology.
That’s why he, who was an orphan, was taken in by Kim Hyeon-seong as a disciple.
But unfortunately, I thought that would be the seed of all unhappiness.
It was at a fairly young age that he reached the wall as a superman, worthy of being called a wall for the first time.
An achievement achieved within a few years of entering magic.
However, too much talent is said to be poison.
Excessive feeding (過猶不及).
For him, who had never been frustrated and never learned how to bump into a wall, the first wall he faced in his life could be called despair itself.
A wall that seems infinitely high and yet solid.
In the meantime, there was even Kim Hyun-seong, who is called the savior of the other world, right next to him.
“Since he was called my disciple and received a lot of expectations, he must have had a lot of mental burden.”
Recalling that time, Kim Hyun-seong muttered with a bitter expression.
“At that time, I was drunk on my own taste, so I wasn’t a proper human being enough to look back on the despair my disciple faced.”
In the meantime, he met cultists and Vlad Draculea changed.
He borrowed the power of the demons and the demon king to jump over the wall that he could not immediately jump over with his own talent and fell.
Thus, Vlad Draculea, the first cultist in history to rise to the level of a transcendent, was born.
“The real problem occurred during the Shinma War that occurred later.”
A war between gods and demons broke out after passing through Giganthomachia.
“The war ended somehow with me completely destroying the passage to the demon realm, but the situation after that wasn’t very good for us either.”
Because all the gods who roamed the land had to leave the material world due to the aftermath of the series of wars.
“It was after that that he stole my body.”
It is the body of the savior of the other world whose soul has left him who has been unable to grow any longer due to the blocked passage to the demon world.
“I think he was planning to use the divinity that remained within him to raise his level even more…”
He scratched his head.
“The problem is that he found another possibility there.”
“You mean another possibility?”
“okay.”
Kim Hyun-seong continued with a puzzled expression.
“As you can see from the nickname of the savior of the world and the completely different style, I am not from this world. Strictly speaking, it could be said to be an existence that came from outside the world. That means…”
“Foreign God…”
Russell nodded his head heavily at his muttering.
“If the contract with the Demon World is completely severed, from outside the world. That’s the possibility he found.”
That was also the reason why I wanted to bring in foreign media.
An absurd secret story related to his ancestors from the age of mythology.
After hearing the secret story, Russell looked dumbfounded for a moment and then asked again.
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better for you guys to come forward yourself?”
Olympia and Asgard.
Erin and the dragon god world.
If all these worlds exist, the gods there must also exist. If they come forward—!
“If that was possible, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
——I put my hopes up just in case, but the answer that came back was a sigh that was not very good.
