Episode 218
Follow the guidance of the purple butterfly.
Go
through the forest where grass bugs cry.
Aakman and Elan continued walking past the creek, where the cries of frogs could be heard
.
However, the place I arrived at was different from the lively places I had just seen.
Literally the swamp of death.
It was dark because the trees that grew tall enough to cover the sky prevented light from passing through, and thanks to that, the humid place smelled of frowning faces.
“Ugh really… hiding in a dark place like this?”
Knock-!
Kanina lowered her head and pricked her ears as if she sensed something in this quiet swamp.
“Kya-kywa-!”
“Watch out for the Ark! The owner of the mountain, Kanina, is warning you. They say this place smells like death.”
“Even if it’s not canina, I already smell this musty smell like mold, right?”
Aakman sighed and looked around. But all he sees is a swamp that smells awful. All Arkman could do was avoid the swamp and quietly walk to the center.
“… this butterfly. Is there something you can trust?”
In the end, Aakman narrowed his eyes and doubted the petty butterfly spirit. However, Elan rather hissed and focused his attention.
“Wait…. something is unusual. Didn’t you really hear Akman? The spirits whispering to us…”
Gain.
dew
Concentrating as Elan said, Aakman seemed to hear something.
Goo-
It’s like the vibration of someone stamping their feet.
Deuk-
A strange sound that seems to be knocking on the door to send a signal somewhere. But conclusive evidence.
rattle! Fuck!
It was the moment when the ground everyone was stepping on made a sound and moved.
“uh!? this! no way!”
Urgent Aakman’s voice.
But it’s already too late
Quaang!
The ground everyone was stepping on was actually not ground. It was a wooden plank covered with soil. It is natural for heavy canina to break when placed on a thin board.
“It’s a trap!”
Let’s fall into the trap that Aakman, Kanina, and Elan dug a hole. The undead waiting below rushed fiercely.
“Grrrrr!”
“Just hard!”
“Sylph! Guide us!”
Whiy!
Elan urgently summoned the wind spirit. Thanks to that, I prevented Aakman and Elan from falling into a trap…
“Kwyyuyuyuu!”
Even the giant Canina couldn’t be saved from the trap.
“Hard! Exactly!”
“Grrruk!”
Skeleton soldiers mercilessly attacking Kanina with weaponry, and ghouls wielding claws and spewing poisonous bodily fluids from their mouths.
“Kwyuyu kyw-!”
Let Kanina howl at the lynching of the undead using traps. Aakman displayed his divine power and radiated light with his right hand.
“Light. Judge the dead!”
[Judgment of Light]
Flash!
Let’s unleash the Arkman by changing mana into divine power. The undead’s bodies began to burn in the bright light.
“Haa… What’s so many?”
However, killing the undead with divine power was like evaporating water with scorching heat.
Killing a large number of undead was equivalent to consuming divine power, which soon led to Aakman’s mana consumption.
Skills such as [Page of Blessing] that borrow the power of characteristics and those that demonstrate pure divine power are entirely different in principle.
“Kwyuh… Kwyw-”
But thanks to the disappearance of the undead, the moment Kanina poked her head out and was about to come out of the trap.
“Ah Aakman…”
Elan called Aakman in a panicked voice.
“…yes? What happen?”
“Look around…”
Elan’s voice filled with despair.
Aakman swallowed a gulp and looked around to find out why.
“Ha-mi crazy…”
That extreme- so-
ghouls and skeletons crawling out of the ground as if waking up from sleep.
‘How many? How many hundred?’
No, just looking at it, it was already over the common sense numbers. okay. The expression that this grows from the ground is correct.
‘Is this really… an F-class necromancer?’
Fragment of Plague Witch Laplace.
With that power, Sumire blossomed the witch’s black magic. This is the power of standards that cannot be understood even with the common sense of Aakman, the blue priest.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-
along with the roar of something unknown, the quiet swamp was covered with the sound of skeletons clashing their jaws and the howling of ghouls.
Ordinary hunters would lose their will to fight at once.
However, Aakman, the priest, caught his breath and made a decision.
“…I never thought I would use this so quickly.”
“Ackman. no way.”
“We will open the artifacts given by the church. I can use only one, but…”
Aakman participated in the national confrontation as the youngest blue priest. Although he was still a rookie, the church gave special favor to Aakman because he received public attention.
“What will you do? We fell into a trap, so we have to show our strength.”
Saaa-
In Aakman’s hand, the particles turned into a single scripture. This is the Book of Judgment, one of the Unique Class Artifacts possessed by the Church.
“…Open the first chapter in the Book of Judgment! Crusade of Deus!”
Whoa!
The cluster of light called by Aakman pierced the dark clouds and reached the shadowy land. And when the baptism of light was lifted, three knights descended into the hellish swamp.
“Crusaders of Deus! …by the power of light. Judge the dead!”
At Aakman’s command, they easily slaughtered the undead with shields and swords. Numbers didn’t matter. The crusader’s sword and shield, which had divine power, annihilated the undead simply by brushing them.
“Gaon’s necromancer… You’re using your brain a little more than you think to set up a trap like this…”
Even as he said this, Aakman felt dizzy as he touched his forehead. Side effects often caused by lack of mana.
“Are you okay? Ackman?”
As Elan next to him worried about him, Aakman caught his breath to calm down.
Aakman read only the first chapter of the 10 commandments, but it was the only skill that could be used with Aakman’s mana.
‘I borrowed a unique class artifact… but I can’t use it anymore.’
In the end, this proves that the ability of the artifact is too strong compared to the power of the user.
“It’s okay… find a necromancer quickly before creating more undead. I’ll even give Kanina a buff…”
Aakman wanted to end the match winning or losing when he gained momentum with the Artifact.
Charleureu- Hwaaaak!
“The page of blessings.”
Flash!
‘It just happened to have a good buff.’
The buff given to Kanina by the page of blessing is [Ferocious Honey Badger].
It was a buff that temporarily increased the target’s strength.
“Kwuuuuuuuu-!”
Thanks to that, Kanina, who lost her momentum and crouched down, roared towards the sky with her eyes stained red.
“Come on up! Ackman!”
When the Deus Crusaders were blocking the undead, Elan was thinking of making a winning move.
“great. Let’s find it quickly and send it to the waiting room.”
And the same goes for Aakman.
As soon as the two men rode on her back, Kanina ran at breakneck speed using a quadrupedal gait.
Dada Dada!
At the end of a mad dash while trampling on the undead.
“Kwuuuuu-!”
“excuse me! There he is!”
Sumire’s appearance at last.
When Sumire saw Kanina and Team Island, she started shouting in an acting tone as if she had heard them.
“Ahhh-! How did you come looking for me already… If I continue like this, I’ll be caught by the other party…”
Sumire and Sumire run away towards the miraculous swamp.
“There it is! If you miss this time, it’s over! Catch it quickly!”
“Don’t miss it! Necromancer!”
Aakman and Elan start chasing Sumire. Kanina started a frantic chase.
* * *
The factory manager of the Undead Factory. Sumire.
She increased her reputation by delivering countless undead to the swamp of death within an hour of entering the business, but she had one concern.
‘… no matter how many skeletons and ghouls you summon. It only consumes mana. I can’t decide whether I win or lose!’
That is business scalability.
No matter how much the factory turned around, the business could not be put to an end with only the main products, ghouls and undead.
‘The important thing. It’s a decisive blow!’
And that’s the problem.
It was the reason why Sumire was being chased by the giant rabbit Kanina.
‘Run a little bit faster-!’
I didn’t want to use such an ignorant method from the beginning. However, the opposing team had Aakman, a priest. If they were to face each other in a normal way, the undead would inevitably be weakened by the power of divine power.
If so, before the Arkman weakens it with the power of divine power. Is there any way for the strongest summon summoned by Sumire to unleash the strongest special move?
‘A little faster… to the swamp somehow. I’m inducing.’
It was still quite a distance away, but Sumire kicked off the ground and ran towards the swamp we saw earlier.
Tadak! widely!
Even though she strengthened her body by using mana, Sumire was far from fighting using her body, so her breath filled up to the tip of her chin.
“now! Give up! You are eliminated here!”
“Kwuuuuu!”
Percussion!
“ah!”
Sumire stumbled on a vine, but he hesitated, but did not fall and ran again. Really frightening tenacity.
However, the plan for victory was proceeding step by step as planned. The variable was only Sumire’s role.
Kwak!
Clenching his fists with the feeling of grabbing straw, Sumire thought of the party members.
‘Mr. Yooseong…’
[Sumire’s fried chicken is really good.]
The first thing that came to my mind was Yooseong Shin’s face. Shin Yoo-seong, who always believed in himself and supported him, was a strong support for Sumire.
The next thing Sumire thought of was Kim Eun-ah’s face.
‘Eun-ah…’
[This is fine. I don’t like stew, but it’s quite edible. huh? It’s not a stew, but a hotpot? That’s it.]
Kim Eun-ah looks rough on the outside, but in reality she was a precious colleague of Sumire with a warmer heart than anyone else.
The next thing Sumire thought of was the face of Velvet, a new member.
‘Velvet…’
[Velvet cake has velvet in its name! Kyahang! As expected, Velvet is really amazing!]
Things that were familiar to Sumire were new experiences and memories to Velvet. Sumire really liked that fact. It was a very happy and precious experience to see someone grow through me.
‘Amy….’
[Kuhh~ Sumire’s spicy crab curry is the best!]
Lastly, Amy who is good at spicy food.
‘…I can’t lose.’
On Sumire’s shoulders hung the victory that her precious teammates longed for. So, Sumire removed as many variables as possible and came up with the best strategy. Sumire knew the weight on herself.
fault!
This is the best method that Sumire came up with after thinking about it.
Dig!
Sumire stopped in front of the swamp and turned her body.
“Witch’s black magic! Summoner Link!”
Let Sumire stretch out her hand toward the sky. In the blue light, mana formed a line and connected to something in the swamp.
[Summoner’s mana is transferred to the summoner.]
[Summoned: Bone Dragon]
[21 seconds have passed since the bone dragon charged its breath.]
[The accumulated energy has exceeded 100%.]
As if to warn, the pockets The message from the hologram popped up a lot, but Sumire didn’t care.
Geugg-
“Bone Dragon!”
Just as Sumire called.
Opening his mouth, the Bone Dragon stood up. Bone Dragon became an undead, not a transcendent dragon, and was reborn as the lord of death.
The overwhelming sense of intimidation emitted by the 6th grade boss.
Worse!
Sumire aimed at the running Kanina with her index finger and shouted loudly as if this was the last time.
“Dark Breath-!”
Sumire’s last command.
The high-temperature energy drew a red line on the jet-black orb held by the bone dragon.
Wheein!
“Bondrago Ohhh!? no this crazy! What is that!”
“Ackman! Wake! retreat at once! I have no choice but to trust Kanina now!”
Aakman rolled down from Kanina’s back. There was no time to demonstrate divine power.
Just like Sumire believes in Bone Dragon.
Right now, Aakman had no choice but to trust Kanina, just as Elan had said.
“Bone Dragon! It is a dark breath that contains our bond!”
Sumire.
“Blow off the head before you breathe!”
Ackman.
“Canina! You can do it!”
Elan.
Everyone’s wishes came together.
Like that, the three of them became one, no matter who they were, and shouted with all their souls to their summoned creatures.
“Karaaa Ah-!”
