Attack – Defense (3)
Park Noah bounced off the protests non-stop. There are too many monsters advancing towards the 4th base. As Seo Ji-han said, it was too much to stop in one place.
Besides, when you look down, you can see a landscape that gives you goosebumps. The disgusting features were slowly getting closer to the slope.
Seo Ji-han told him to ignore the monsters coming up the hill, but he couldn’t. I am wondering how to solve this by myself. Hopefully it’s a bluff…
“Jihan. What, what are you going to do…?”
Noah Park turned her head to see what came into her eyes and was speechless.
‘······Magic?’
Seo Ji-han’s mana rod continues to blink in blue light. Dozens of magic circles were drawn above his head, and water balls and ice spheres were being created.
The speed of its manifestation was amazing, but even now, one of the magics used is the one used by Rhein Castell during the last match.
‘…you learned in that short period of time?’
Seo-han. I never dreamed that I would be hiding such an ability. Noah Park also knows how to handle some magic. That’s why I could see how proficient the expression of that technique was.
‘Is there a reason why Ellen was interested…’
I thought it was just a taste, but I guess it wasn’t.
After a while, Seo Ji-han walked forward, looked down at the slope, and swung her arms. Then, the magic that was shaking little by little in the air caught the target and fired quickly.
Waterballs and ice spheres were mixed and collided with the monsters towards the floor. It’s still a slippery surface and a high incline. As the water flowed down from the surface and froze, the monsters trying to climb the hill were either hit by magic or slipped, but rather hindered the advance and slowed it down.
Of course, there were those who were exceptionally strong and climbed up through them. While dipping their claws or hands into the ground or stepping on the monsters beneath them. Those guys shoved their own reinforced bullets into the head a few shots at a time. There were still plenty of bullets left.
‘Ugh…’
Then Seo Ji-han felt dizzy and stumbled. Even if there is a special effect, this is too much. She immediately tilted her head and inhaled the mana potion she had in her mouth to replenish her mana. It was a specification to be stunned due to lack of mana like last time.
“Hey.”
The empty glass bottle was spit out down the hill and fresh out of the backpack. When he suddenly felt his gaze and turned his head, Noah Park was looking at Seo Ji-han, continuing the protest with her hands.
“Would you like a drink too?”
He shakes his head as he takes another bottle of mana potion from his backpack and hands it over.
“Ah… no. I still have some free time.”
Seo Ji-han refilled his mana and got up from his seat. Once the slope of the hill has been frozen, it’s his turn to do the next job.
Even if we reduce the number here, if the amount of monsters arriving at the 4th base is large, it’s a no-brainer.
Although smaller in size than before, an ice spear that doubles as that was created. If it is simply freezing, it will be of no use, but we plan to utilize the additional effect of this magic, a curse, ‘Anyone who is hit will receive a curse of ‘freeze’.’
‘Except those who will die from this….’
It only shoots at those who can survive even if it gets hit like this. Among the advancing monsters, only large ogres or golems were targeted and triggered.
Wow! The magic didn’t seem to cause much pain, let alone a fatal wound, but he could see the ice spears getting stuck or hitting them gradually freezing.
It’s not very effective yet, but if you repeat this, you’ll be able to roll a snowball to slow the march itself.
‘Well then.’
Seo Ji-han took out the Assault Wolf again and continued to manifest the Ice Spear with one hand. He was imprinted on the Mana Lord, so he didn’t have to focus. As he did the repetitive work for a long time, Seo Ji-han felt that he was gradually becoming more relaxed.
‘If it goes like this, it will be a fight of persistence…’
That would not be possible. Seo Ji-han was rather anxious about having more time.
Woo-!
Unsurprisingly, a creepy sound was heard from somewhere. In the distance, with the back of the moon, something was flying. The silhouette was a very familiar shape.
‘Balrog?’
Those wings, that figure, and the eyes that glow red in the dark. No matter how hardcore the difficulty is, it’s just the beginning. A balrog that would not be strange even for a boss level appeared out of the blue.
“That looks like a balrog? How are you going to handle that?”
As Seo Ji-han bit his tongue, Park Noah looked at him with eyes that felt strangely trustworthy.
“Um, … will I?”
“Fufu. Now, the joke is. I’ll take care of that. Cover me. Rihanna.”
In Noah Park’s hand, the bow disintegrated into light and changed back to the shape of a sword.
Balrog flapped its large wings and flew quickly. At first, it was flying towards the hill rather than the 4th base. They are coming after Seo Ji-han and Park No-ah, who are blocking the advance of the demons.
Balrog took a deep breath as soon as he reached near the hill. He couldn’t figure out what that meant.
‘Breath…. Little things will be of no use.’
When he poured mana, a gigantic spear of ice that was incomparable in size to before was created in the air. Then, as Balrog exhaled, a column of hot fire erupted from his mouth.
Seo Ji-han shot an ice spear at Breath.
As the magic of opposite attributes collided, hot steam erupted. Smoke billows out and obscures the view like mist.
“─10 meals.”
Through the gap, Noah Park jumped off the ground.
[Shape Transformation – Fire]
As the mana rod is drawn from the back of the hand, the flame created above the hand lengthens like a whip. Balrog had very high fire resistance, so it was useless to aim for leather.
‘The aim is the eyes.’
Therefore, as soon as Noah Park reached Balrog, she swung the flame like a whip just in time. profit! A flame passed right through Balrog’s eyes.
─%%$#@!!!!
Balrog twisted his body in the pain and glowed, but Park Noah landed softly on Balrog’s head. With her sense of balance, she never fell to this level of shaking.
“Rian. Be patient even if it’s unpleasant.”
[Enchantment – Fire]
The blue sword is wrapped in flames. Park Noah grabbed Lian Arwell in reverse and slammed it down to the top of Balrog.
There was a smell of burning fat, and the focus of the pierced Balrog gradually disappeared. He was shot at a critical point and died.
Finally, he twisted his sword and drew it out quickly. Although it was engulfed in fire, it could be seen that there were chunks of flesh that had not been completely burned.
Noah Park smiled bitterly, thinking that Rian would be dissatisfied.
“Anyway, with this, uh…”
And I felt something strange.
“Hey! What are you doing—!”
From below, Seo Ji-han’s screams were heard a little louder. It wasn’t that the voice was getting louder, it was moving towards it.
‘ah···.’
Noah Park lowered herself with a shy expression and prepared to jump.
‘I made a mistake.’
A huge balrog’s corpse was falling over the hill.
“So you want to invest again?”
“Yes, miss.”
say that
Aiden was momentarily speechless. And as he felt his blood pressure rise, he showed his patience and said in a gentle voice.
“Eron, do you know what time it is?”
“It’s a little past three in the morning…”
“Then should you have come to me now and tell me?”
“…you haven’t slept, so I thought you’d be fine.”
Hearing those words, Aiden heard the sound of a thread in his head breaking. He closed the book he was reading and buried his face in his hands with a sigh.
“…let’s go.”
“Because I’m leaving!!!”
“Hey, hey!”
Eron was startled by Aiden’s shout and hurriedly ran out of the room.
Eron was embarrassed. He was not just my own opinion, but the opinions of other wizards as well.
“Uh, Erron-senpai?”
Apparently, at this time, someone was passing through the hallway and called my name. Closing his eyes tightly, Eron slowly lifted his head, and as he confirmed who he was, he felt a sense of relief.
“Ah, Choi Ye-chan-kun… What’s going on at this hour?”
“It’s on duty, well. What are you doing here?”
“Ummm… the building collapsed last time. So, I came here as a representative to ask the lady to help me put it back together.”
Eron didn’t even feel the problem as if he was being paid severance, so he made such a statement proudly to his juniors.
“Hey, after all, the only ones who think of us wizards are seniors.”
And Choi Ye-chan knew how to deal with such a senior.
“But it didn’t go well…
“Ah. What else are you desperate for?”
Choi Ye-chan put her shoulder to Eron, who was a little smaller, and spoke in a friendly way. Erron felt that Choi Ye-chan’s personality had changed these days. He must have become a little more active than he used to be, he has become burdensomely active.
Choi Ye-chan asked Eron, who was a little shrugged, secretly.
“Have you ever had any complaints with Miss Aiden?”
“Yeah. If I had a chance, I would have just fixed that cheeky frizzy hair!”
Take a moment to look at it and answer right away.
Choi Ye-chan, who had lost the fun, said while listening to Eron’s squeaking sound with a smile.
“Then please be patient.”
“I’m going~”
“Huh? Uh, yes…”
Choi Ye-chan went down to the basement, leaving behind the dumb Eron. The basement was dark because the lights weren’t on, but Choi Ye-chan liked this feeling better.
After verifying the locked door, when I entered the morgue, I could smell a calming feeling. Choi Ye-chan put her hand in her shadow and took out his small bag. Inside were ‘gaeseong stones’ that glowed red.
‘···Certainly the supply and demand has become easier.’
An unidentified organization that was introduced to him by his master, ‘Arihan Hector’. Their help made the job much easier and yielded unexpected results.
‘Artificially make Kaesong Stone…’
Choi Ye-chan opened the corpse box that had not yet been opened and gradually put the Kaesong Stones on top of it using a shadow. It was necessary to be careful because of the nature of burrowing into the skin when it touched.
“What are you doing now?”
“··········································································?!”
Then, suddenly, a voice came from behind. Choi Ye-chan, astonished, quickly looked back at her. She was leaning against the wall and she was staring at her. She didn’t feel popular at all.
“Uh, since when…”
Layette unwrapped her arms and strode over to this side.
“Isn’t that Kaesong-seok? Why do you put it on a corpse? It’s not like I’m going to have you take care of it.”
“ね….”
As he hurriedly reached out his hand, a shadow rose from the floor and wrapped around Layate’s body. Layette looked at the shadow that tied her body and stared at Choi Ye-chan with a puzzled look.
“…what are you doing?”
Dump! When I applied force to my arm, the shadow broke as easily as a piece of paper was torn. Layette drew his sword from behind with an angry expression.
“Once you cut that arm off, we’ll have a conversation.”
“Come on, wait. This is a misunderstanding!”
“Misunderstanding? You’re being rude. If I’m misunderstood, I apologize personally.”
And just before swinging the sword he was holding, a gloomy voice came from somewhere.
―Let’s go there.
It was a voice I couldn’t recognize.
“S, Master?”
“…Arihan Hector?”
Darkness was drawn from one side of the room, and the old man walked out helplessly through the line. Layette saw the scene and burst into laughter.
“He said he couldn’t contact the master. Are these bastards hitting the back of the head?”
Arihan Hector said, stroking the white beard that reached down to his chest.
“It’s been a while. Layit-kun.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while. It looks ugly there too.”
Layette rushed to see if he didn’t want to talk any more. Nevertheless, the beautiful Hector’s expression was calm.
“Master!”
“But what are you surprised?”
At the moment when Layette intuitively felt strange in his relaxed attitude, a hand suddenly reached out through the darkness from which Hector was walking. And he easily grabbed the blade that was being swung.
It was so strong that the sword did not even move. Arihan Hector smiled at the bewildered expression of Layette.
“Jeron, Heiden Aruto, Cold Rose, Karman Herr, etc.”
Arihan Hector passed the layer, calling out the names of the heroes and mercenaries who died recently.
“During this attack, the corpses of the dead heroes were collected and mixed. It was hard to recover because it was stuck to the floor.”
As a signal to those words, the hand that was holding Layette’s sword gradually emerged from the darkness.
When Layette saw the form that appeared, the veins in her eyes burst out in anger.
A chimera with Aruto Heiden’s face on his forearm, someone’s eyes pierced on his chest, and several arms and legs.
His comrades who had died during the attack were mixed together and reappeared in a strange form.
“Awesome Hector!!!”
“Then, let’s talk about things you couldn’t finish with your comrades other than the old man.”
Arihan Hector left his angry voice behind and came out of the morgue. Choi Ye-chan hurriedly followed after him.
“Master. What do you think…?”
“Lucky.”
“If so many heroes have died and now is not the right time, when one eye has been sold to the tower, when will it be?”
“no way······.”
“Yes. Call everyone.”
Arihan Hector slowly climbed the stairs from the basement. And when I went outside, I could see the wide branch of the Yoosung Academy at a glance.
Street lamps are lit on the street and the moon appears in the sky. There were also places where the lights had not been extinguished in various places among the buildings.
Arihan Hector closed his eyes. A mana rod was drawn all over his body, and a huge magic circle was slowly drawn on the floor.
Eventually, realizing that all the corpses in the Meteor Academy were connected to him, the Necromancer, Arihan Hector, slowly opened his eyes.
and muttered
“”Get up.”
