Chapter 98 The World You Haven’t Experienced (2)
Kevin’s intention worked.
One of the soldiers sent deliberately.
He went to Edwin Hector and spoke with a terrified face about what he had experienced.
“There must be a mage in Cairo’s camp! We turned on the darkness, confirmed that there was nothing, and moved, but suddenly Cairo’s soldiers appeared and attacked us! Trust me. It wasn’t just hiding in the bush and attacking by surprise. Like a mirage, they burst through space!”
As he spoke, his body trembled.
A demon who brutally killed his comrades.
Every time he thought of Kevin, the soldier kept checking his back as if he was anxious.
“… Commander. It seems the enemies have set a trap.”
It was Jackson.
Reports came in from all sides of the enemy.
If the attack was unilateral even though there was obviously a numerical superiority, there was a possibility that the soldier’s words were true.
“Jackson. There is no magic in the world that can hide a large number of people. You can show illusions with illusion-type magic, but enemies are launching surprise attacks simultaneously from at least four places. The possibility of using a magic scroll is significantly reduced. The Mage Tower strictly manages high-circle magic scrolls, so there’s no way the Southern Front could have such a large amount. Then there is only one possibility. That Cairo has high-circle wizards. Do you think this makes sense? The fact that such an existence is holding out on the southern front, not even in the west?”
“Impossible.”
“Yes, it is impossible. This is not magic.”
Wizard.
An existence more valuable than an aura swordsman.
Most of them are affiliated with the ‘Magic Tower’, a neutral organization.
Like the Golden Bank, it was a group that was active throughout the continent, and nine out of ten people with the gift of mana hoped to belong to the Mage Tower.
The reason was simple.
The Mage Tower is a treasure trove of knowledge, so if you want to grow as a mage, you have no choice but to choose the Mage Tower.
blast furnace.
There were only a handful of wizards in each country.
However, Edwin Hector could not understand that such a great being appeared on the southern front.
‘There is something special about Roman Dmitri. He did not improvise against our pursuit, but lured us into the mountains fully prepared in advance. Perhaps it was a ploy to buy time. The longer we get caught up in the mountains. The more damage the troops do, the better. The southern front will find some time to spare, and the moment the troops sent from the Cairo royal family arrive, the situation will turn around at once.’
I looked at the board wide.
Chess pieces moving fast.
The war of attrition here would be fatal, but Edwin Hector had no intention of stepping down like this.
‘One retreat. It ends the moment you lose momentum.’
defeat the troops.
Even if the foremost defensive positions are captured, can the goal be achieved as intended?
It will be hard.
It was clear that Roman Dmitri would gain a reputation for defeating Hector with a handful of men, and that reputation would give Cairo a reason not to give up.
War dictates momentum.
The moment a hero named Roman Dmitry was born in this war, naturally, defeat (敗色) inevitably deepened.
‘It’s still too early to gather troops.’
soldiers are dying
but.
It’s a promise.
To save Hector’s kingdom.
All have sworn to give their lives, and Edwin Hector will not let their lives be in vain.
‘Wait for the right time. May Roman Dmitri fall into my trap.’
It was then.
[Roman Dmitry! He has appeared!]
A voice came through the communicator.
Roman Dmitry began to move.
* * *
Sure.
The darkness has been pushed back.
The moment the light from the magic artifact lit up the surroundings, the Aura Swordsman’s face was stained with astonishment.
“omg?!”
puck!
right in front of your eyes.
There was Roman Dmitry.
Appearing through the darkness, he plunged the sword into his chest before the swordsman could respond properly.
Staggering aura test.
He knelt down, frothing, but a smile spread across his face as he looked up at Roman.
“Cool! You finally caught it!”
Flash!
Aura Explosion.
Intense boiling mana was expressed as light through the artifact.
Swordsman Aura prepared for death.
but.
Before losing consciousness, he wished to hang a bell around Roman’s neck in exchange for his own death.
Beep-
“It’s Roman Dmitry!”
“Roman Dmitry has appeared! Form a siege!”
Things changed quickly.
It was different from before.
Before, there was no way to catch him if he tried to attack and hid himself in the darkness, but this time, the light shone according to the direction Roman was moving.
Shards of light fired in all directions as the light of mana exploded.
It was embedded in Roman’s body, and although there was no physical pain, it made Roman’s body appear like fireflies.
Aura’s death was not in vain.
Commanders connected communications to the fast-moving movement.
[Roman Dmitri is moving north!]
[Just turned the other way!]
[2nd Company! 2nd company! The rats are going that way!]
An encirclement was formed in an instant.
Hector’s men methodically drove Roman back, and no human speed could lift the siege, no matter how fast.
To this end, Edwin Hector prepared for damage and spread his soldiers far away.
From the moment Roman Dmitri was discovered, he quickly climbed the mountain and pressed Roman’s position from an advantageous highland.
heavenly hope.
He spread a net to catch Roman.
As time went on, the range of the net became very narrow, and at some point, troops were created to face Roman.
to such a situation.
Hector Kingdom thought.
Finally, the enemy is cornered, and Roman Dmitry is a rat in a poison.
They lost many allies because of just one, but it was only a matter of time before they dealt with the ghosts that haunted them all night.
* * *
Stepped on Roman’s tail.
Hector’s soldiers attacked all at once as soon as they found Roman running away, scattering the light of fragments.
“die!”
“I will avenge my comrades!”
The soldiers ran like crazy.
Roman Dmitry.
A demon who has killed countless allies.
The memories of being terrified all night made the soldiers’ eyes stained with poison.
hook!
Sharp weapons hit Roman from all sides.
That moment.
Roman’s body blurred.
Instead of running away, he suddenly turned around and swung his sword while digging into the space infested with soldiers.
flash!
Fuhak!
Blood spattered.
The soldiers who showed their miasma were torn apart in one blow, and Roman did not stop and cut down all the attacking soldiers.
It was so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye.
Countless soldiers spattered blood everywhere whenever they encountered Roman.
Apparently, until just now, he showed strong miasma that would devour any opponent, but he was helplessly slaughtered by a single person.
but.
“Follow me!”
“Never miss it!”
The chase had just begun.
Enemies biting tail after tail.
Even if he cut down several enemies at once, more enemies appeared and pursued Roman.
There was no room to escape.
heavenly hope.
Caught in the perfect net.
While time dragged on like that, Hector’s masters also appeared.
Quaang.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Explosions of auras occurred in all directions.
Aura swordsmen.
They raised an aura and ran.
Among them, there was a 3-star aura swordsman, and the powerful aura that rips through the air was an attack that even Roman could not ignore.
The soldiers of Hector Kingdom were convinced that the attack worked this time.
According to the commanders, Roman Dmitri was a 3-star swordsman, and there was no way to deal with multiple swordsmen with the same aura.
an imminent situation.
Roman exploded Danjeon’s mana at the flames of the aura coming from all directions.
‘Heavenly Swordsman Lee Cho-sik.’
The sword flashed.
The wildly rising mana collided with the aura that filled his field of vision.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
“Cheak!”
“Aaaaaagh!”
Aura swordsmen were swept away by the powerful explosion.
Their swords, shimmering with aura, were cut off at once, and the fragile bodies behind them were torn apart as well.
single blow.
It was a shocking scene.
Even after showing a tremendous attack, Roman escaped the spot with a breathless appearance.
Everyone was in shock.
Roman was a formidable foe.
It was completely out of common sense, and I knew that killing him was another matter even if I grabbed his tail.
but.
That’s why I followed it even more tenaciously.
He is such a strong monster by himself.
But what if you miss it?
I hated even imagining it.
Even if he captured all the positions on the southern front, Roman Dmitri seemed like a demon who would slaughter the soldiers of Hector Kingdom somehow.
Everyone fell for evil.
The soldiers of Hector Kingdom threw away their precious lives like stubble and even thrust their necks into their swords to block Roman’s movements.
It was desperate.
A golden opportunity to kill Roman.
He acted according to instinct, not cold reason.
only 10 minutes.
It’s a short time.
During that time, the blood of those who had died formed a river, and the soles of their feet stepped on the corpses whenever they moved.
But since when?
People thought it was strange.
Roman Dmitry.
A demon that can’t be caught.
Is it really true that he is running away?
A thought that suddenly came to mind.
It was such an ominous possibility that it made my heart sink.
* * *
Hooked!
“Gagging.”
This time, I dealt with the pursuing enemy.
Blood flowed down the sword.
Roman wiped away the blood and calmed his breathing.
‘My physical strength is gradually reaching its limit.’
Heavenly Demon Sword.
It was a move that even Roman could not use often.
However, as Hector’s aura swordsmen rushed at him from all sides, he had no choice but to exert his strength.
It was then.
at Roman’s feet.
The swordsman with a long cut on his chest gasped for breath and cursed Roman.
“Do you think you can survive here? Whoop Whoop. It never happens. Thousands of troops are besieging this place. no matter how strong you are Hoo-wook. In the end, I have no choice but to die miserably!”
he was upset
He screamed and looked up at Roman with red eyes.
Moment.
food.
Roman laughed.
Humans have always been the same.
As in Thompson’s work, people fell into the same illusions in certain situations.
“Why don’t you guys think that I’ve gotten myself into this trap? Even when I saw the swordsmen stepping forward using obvious magic artifacts, I killed them and let the fragments get stuck in my body.”
“What is that?”
Hector’s kingdom.
They couldn’t even imagine.
Roman Dmitry.
he was bait
Wagging his tail on purpose, he created a platform for the soldiers of Hector Kingdom to follow him.
The swordsman’s face stained with astonishment.
Looking down at him, Roman told him the cruel reality.
“A lot of people are running here and there in pursuit of me. You may think that the siege is perfect, but in the end, there are bound to be loopholes in what humans do. 1 min. Not even for 30 seconds. The enemies who get there first risk their lives, foolishly thinking that they have to catch me somehow. Isn’t it fun? The fact that you guys are less careful than ever because you put me in a corner.”
Know.
how reckless this is.
but.
Baek Joong-hyeok, the Heavenly Demon, always lived like this.
reverse thinking.
An existence that causes disruption.
“So let’s go where we are going. It’s still a long way before the sun rises.”
Enemies will soon find out.
Roman Dmitry.
no.
The fact that common sense does not work in Baek Joong-hyeok’s world.
