◈ 549. [STAGE 31] Too Young To Die (4)
Damien’s snipers rushed towards the scarecrow corps commander.
The scarecrow corps commander desperately tried to evade, but to no avail.
Damian’s sniping is one hundred percent.
Evasion is impossible!
Tuhak! Tuhak! Tuhak-!
《Kuh… ?!]
The scarecrow corps commander groaned in agony as he was beaten by the long-running magic bullet.
Scarecrow Commander The oldest scarecrow is an honest monster.
Status Drain – Gets the same amount of stats as the sum of the stats of the victims absorbed through ‘Harvest’.
And most of the heroes and soldiers harvested this time were dealers. Magic swordsman Mikhail is a representative example.
So, while the current scarecrow corps commander is outstanding in terms of attack power, his tanking ability is not so outstanding.
His physical strength is thick, but he has no defensive characteristics or skills.
It means that if you hit it, the dill will stick as you hit it!
“This damn… … .》
Like a corps commander, he didn’t just greet him.
While covering his whole body with magic bullets, the scarecrow corps commander ran down the ground, ran, stepped on the hill, and jumped up – soaring toward the empty space.
«I’ll drop you!»
The non-airship Geronimo, which was flying low, hurriedly raised its altitude, as if he hadn’t expected that the monster on the ground would rise at once.
However, the scarecrow corps commander has absorbed Mikhail’s ability to fly.
Chew!
Griffin-like wings were deployed on the legs, and the scarecrow corps commander was fired like a surface-to-air missile.
Knock Knock Knock Knock!
Damian calmly changed the gun in his hand. I put my long sniper rifle in and took out a new gun that looked like an assault rifle.
The SSR grade horse gun [Venom Fang].
Although the damage per shot is weak, it is a horse gun with 60 rounds of ammunition and powerful stopping power and suppression power.
Too-ta-ta-ta!
No need for aim. Damian pulled the trigger at the same time as he landed on his shoulder, and [Venom Fang]’s muzzle spewed fire.
The barrage of magic bullets pouring down like a hail penetrated the entire body of the scarecrow corps leader. Even [Venom Fang]’s unique poisoning effect was overlapped at once.
《It’s not even itchy!》
However, the scarecrow corps commander managed to hold on and reached Geronimo’s open hatch.
His long arms stretched out. Damian was glaring at the grotesquely long fingers flying towards him.
At that moment,
taat-!
Someone ricocheted out of the airspace like a cannonball as it brushed past Damian.
A girl knight wearing a huge cavalry spear and shield.
It was Evangeline, the commander of the monster front melee unit.
“Ewww! Marquis heir, please!”
Evangeline jumped out and rammed her torso with her shield.
Caang!
He hit the head of the scarecrow corps commander with a thrilling sound.
Even Evangeline’s characteristic [Unstoppable] is activated in the reckless physical charge. The scarecrow corps commander had to be pushed all the way back helplessly.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
The scarecrow corps commander, who made a grotesque sound and straightened his posture in the air, struck down his arm.
An attack of mighty power, which would have knocked down most heroes in one shot, was thrust down towards Evangeline.
Kagagagak!
But it endures.
Evangeline raised her shield with activated [Damage Save] and blocked it, absorbing most of the damage with dazzling heat.
Even then, the remaining damage dented the shield and Evangeline opened her eyes.
“It’s been a long time since I fully charged in one room, right? Are you hitting me?”
In the next moment, the blazing white light moved from the shield on her left arm to the lance in her right hand, and Evangeline vigorously threw it forward.
“I’ll return it to the ancient times!”
《… ?!]
Kwagwagwang!
[Damage payback] exploded with an explosion.
Perhaps he didn’t know that he would get his attack back as it was, but the scarecrow corps commander allowed him to hit properly.
Even in the midst of that, Evangeline aimed at the wing that sprouted from his leg with the tip of her spear, and the two wings that were extending left and right were shattered.
《Keuugh?!》
In the end, he lost his ability to fly and crashed.
Kudangtangtang!
The scarecrow corps commander was slumped to the ground. Evangeline landed nicely with a hero landing right next to it.
“after!”
After straightening her posture, Evangeline gave me a thumbs up.
“How about it, senior, at this level, it’s okay to be called a flying marquee, right?”
“Not yet man. Still, I’ll call you the Flying Marquess Heir.”
Evangeline is aiming for the position of lord of the Crossroads, but I couldn’t be more pleased with it.
Evangeline, who raised her shield and started preparing for battle again, looked around and her eyes widened.
“Oh, but what about the uncle?”
“Are there only one or two uncles here? Uncle who?”
“My uncle… Uncle Lucas!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucas and the rest of the heroes appeared from the forest. Lucas was limping along with Nobody, and Thorkell supported by a chain.
Lucas found me and ran in front of me, got down on one knee and bowed his head.
“Your face… none sir. To protect the other wizards, I blocked the enemy commander’s attack with my body, and then stopped… … .”
“stop?”
“I just fell out and fell down the cliff… .”
So you’re saying you fell down the cliff and climbed up?
“It was late to join. Besides, I couldn’t stop the enemy commander properly. please kill me… … .”
“Hey, it’s been a while since I heard that comment.”
It was my fault for pushing ahead with an unreasonable operation in the first place.
Still, it’s reassuring to see that everyone is still breathing. I patted Lucas on the shoulder and lifted him up.
“Get up, man. We are all too young to die.”
As soon as I said that, Evangeline raised her arms and shouted.
“that’s right! Come on, try it! Aye~!”
no that went too far… … .
Lucas and Thorkell, still able to fight, gathered their weapons and joined the battle line. I chined Evangeline.
“Who else is here besides you?”
“Since this is a situation where the enemy has been ambush, there are many people who have not returned from self-exploration of the dungeon yet… We brought in only those who could be put in immediately.”
At the same time as Evangeline spoke, the flying ship Geronimo came down close to the ground and
rumbled… !
A lot of our troops started to come out through the open hatch.
As soon as she landed on the ground, Evangeline looked at the friendly troops quickly forming a line, then turned her gaze back to me.
“one… 200 people? I don’t want to.”
“Is it possible to get on the empty ship? … ?”
People are running out of the cargo loading area. How the hell did you burn it all?
“Since we don’t know the exact situation, as many as possible! I’ve packed it tightly!”
It was an obvious overload operation, but in the current situation, I was very grateful.
The heroes and soldiers who came down naturally lined up behind me without even asking me to. Grabbing the flag, I turned my head toward the scarecrow corps commander.
“It looks like the tide is turning, monster. Aren’t you going to take me out?”
Gigg. device geek.
The scarecrow corps commander, who shed his characteristic laugh, spewed a suffocating fraud in all directions.
“It can’t be, you bastards… ! I can eat enough of you guys by myself!》
“You’re being reckless.”
I grinned.
“You are making a mistake.”
The scarecrow corps commander’s gaze quickly scanned us. It’s like choosing what to eat at the cookie stand.
“I don’t like harvesting new crops after leaving the ones I used to eat, but… .]
The place where the scarecrow corps leader was shot after kicking off the ground.
《I’ll eat you up first!》
It was on the side of Zenith who had not yet recovered from the injury he received just a moment ago.
‘Am I going to take away the healing power!’
It wasn’t a bad decision. If a scarecrow monster with as many specs as me heals itself, and then starts guerrilla work, there will be no answers from this side.
Just
fluttering –
as if he had predicted the movements of the scarecrow corps commander, the last reinforcements from the airship were jumping on top of the scarecrow corps commander’s head.
“To kill people, eat people, and try to destroy the world.”
Rosetta, the Heretic Questioner, who fell elegantly with her skirt fluttering, stretched her legs out –
“1 million heresy points.”
Just like that, he kicked the scarecrow commander in the chin.
Jjaeok-!
Holy power exploded with a picturesque kick.
《Giggigigig… … !]
Rosetta lightly landed in front of the scarecrow corps commander who staggered back and unleashed the steel whip on his waist.
“We will immediately purify and incinerate it.”
chuck! chuck! chuck!
Four Inquisitors belonging to the Knights Templar descended after them and stood on the left and right of Rosetta – in front of Zenith.
“… .”
“… .”
The red priests didn’t say a word even with their old comrades in front and behind.
Just focus on the enemy in front of you.
《Kuh… !]
The scarecrow corps commander hesitated and stepped back.
Although he was a monster who absorbed the power of 100 people.
These are 200 people who are well-equipped.
In addition, the scarecrow army’s main specialty, fear, was blocked by me at the source, and even the hostage was gone.
“Don’t be ridiculous… … .]
Despite all these adverse conditions, the scarecrow corps commander rushed towards us.
“All of you guys! I’ll harvest everything-!]
And just then he ran right in front of us.
《Huh?》
The Scarecrow Corps leader made a ‘mistake’.
The step of the leg that had been broken a while ago was twisted, and he could not overcome his own strength and rolled awkwardly on the floor.
The weapon of 200 people on our side was pointed at the guy who urgently tried to stand up. The scarecrow corps commander muttered incomprehensibly.
“What is this… ? I can’t make a mistake like this… … .》
“I was waiting for it to explode.”
But I knew that the scarecrow commander would make a mistake.
I leaned towards him and whispered lowly.
“You absorbed Mikhail’s power.”
‘Harvest’ is a status drain skill that absorbs the power of victims.
From basic abilities to skills and characteristics. They eat them all without discrimination.
In other words.
“You also absorbed Mikhail’s ‘recklessness’ and ‘full of mistakes’.”
《… !]
Negative traits were also absorbed.
Bet on a head-to-head match that you can’t win with ‘recklessness’, and your legs are twisted right in front of the enemy’s nose when you’re ‘full of mistakes’.
Actually, I thought this ‘full of mistakes’ would explode, but it hasn’t happened in the meantime, so I have a feeling that my heroes struggled more.
Where did you explode even now?
Gigg. device gig.
The scarecrow corps commander, who let out a laugh that felt dejected, chanted.
《This is why we have to sort before harvesting.》
“You are saying that you are full.”
I growled as I waved the flag and applied buffs to all the new heroes and soldiers.
“You guys aren’t harvesting, you’re plundering.”
Everyone grabbed their weapons with a bloody look on their faces. I sentenced coldly.
“You rascal, pretending to be a farmer.”
The scarecrow corps leader roared and rose from his seat. At the same time, my heroes and soldiers who surrounded it all rushed at it.
***
The battle is over.
The scarecrow corps commander who stole the strength of a hundred people was obviously strong, but this one was in full condition, and there were also two hundred troops under my buff bombardment.
Of course, the power of my buff increases as the number of allies increases.
At around 200 people, the buff-increased stats and synergy alone would be more than enough to chew on this scarecrow corps commander.
Two hundred heroes and soldiers systematically defended and attacked, and the scarecrow corps commander who recklessly chose a head-on battle quickly collapsed.
Tsukaak-!
Finally, the [Strike of Will] that Lucas swung cleanly slashed the dangling guy’s head.
Awesome… … Awesome… … .
The decapitated body of the scarecrow corps commander knelt down with a pitiful sound.
The guy’s head wrapped in a straw bag tumbled down and muttered to me while laughing.
“It was a lot of fun, but… After all, it’s Han who couldn’t eat the whole world… … .》
“Who asked?”
I blew off his chin with the [Agate] pistol-type horse gun I pulled out.
Taaang!
The monster’s head exploded and fluttered like straw.
It was a monstrous, pitiful end.
