106. Temporary alliance (2)
The outskirts of Istvan, the Brown Canyon.
A deep and far-reaching gorge spreads out. When the wind blew, a dreary cry could be heard in the canyon. The vast nature spreads out as if untouched by human hands.
“Anyway, it’s been a while since we worked together. Reus.”
It was Arthur who said so. At this time we were walking through a canyon along the Reus.
“is it.”
Reus replied in a flat tone. It was the first time the two worked together since they became the same team in the final exam.
I have two conditions for Reus.
First, clear the dungeon by forming a party like Arthur·Na·Reus.
Second, bring Sonny into Arthur’s club.
After thinking about it, Reus accepted the offer.
‘Ethan, are you guys… . not.’
At my suggestion, Reus tried to ask something, but was silent. Perhaps he expressed doubts about my existence.
Once the wind blew, a long silence ensued.
chin.
And we stopped following Reus. There, a huge mouth opened its mouth.
“Here it is. The dungeon I was talking about.”
Again, Leus took a stride. After walking through the cave, an open space was revealed.
At first glance, it was a man-made architectural structure.
The walls were covered with unknown letters, and an altar was placed in the center. At the altar, the statue of the goddess was looking down at us.
Goddess of light, Iros.
In front of the goddess, a long line of stone statues guarded the goddess statue. They were knights with great swords on the ground.
“I don’t think this is a normal dungeon, is it?”
Arthur looked around in a nervous voice. He looked at the letters written on the wall with a flame.
However, even with Arthur’s system, the text could not be read.
Soon, Arthur read the text written under the statue of the goddess. Unlike the characters engraved on the wall, the characters were written in the imperial language.
“This is the altar of the Divine Goddess. Only those who have been recognized by the goddess can enter this place.”
The conditions below were the same as those mentioned by Reus. When Reus touched the goddess statue, the entrance to the dungeon was revealed on the altar.
The entrance was sparking and generating blue magic.
“And this is the entrance to the real dungeon. Will you come in?”
Arthur and I quickly nodded.
After passing the entrance, we reached a completely different space.
It was a ruined site.
The purple sky floated high above the ruins, and a herd of wyverns flew high in the sky.
“devildom? Why is the altar of the goddess connected to the demon realm?”
“It must mean to go to the demon realm and annihilate all demons and demons.”
I replied indifferently.
Of course, this is the middle point between the demon world and the middle world, and there was an entrance to the demon world.
“I don’t have time to worry about that right now.”
That moment.
A black shadow rushed at Arthur, raising a fierce wind.
Whiik-!
Reus hit the stone statue with his spear. The stone statue lost its head with a dull rupture.
“… Golem? No, the watchman of the demon realm?”
watchman of the demon realm.
After awakening, Arthur’s eyes saw the name of the Witchbeast. And now, the name ‘Keeper of the Demon World’ will be floating above their heads.
Even after losing its head, the stone statue was in a fighting stance.
Kwajik!
Reus trampled on the head of the stone statue rolling on the floor. Even so, the watchman wielded a sword and hesitantly approached.
Knock!
A spear blade imbued with blue magic pierced the stone statue’s abdomen. As if gunpowder exploded, the stone statue shattered into pieces.
“Yes, I am the watchman of this dungeon.”
Starting from that battle, the stone statues wriggled.
Awesome-!
A cracking sound came from the long stone statues. Eventually, the stone statues in the ruins woke up. A piece of white stone fell to the ground.
Then, a watchman wearing brass armor appeared.
“Garsarafy, Raywar.”
The unknown language sounded like metal, making it uncomfortable to hear. Arthur and I released the blue magic.
I liked that it wasn’t a cramped interior.
Arthur lowered the blue mana containing mighty power.
bang!
Blue magic engulfed the stone statue in front. A whitish dust storm ensued.
When the dust cleared, the guys with shields stood there. Some of them let out a terrifying laugh as if they were being laughed at.
“What, why doesn’t magic work?”
“Did you sleep in class? Arthur Pendragon?”
Reus laughed.
“uh… ? No, you’ve never had John before?”
“Adamantium is embedded in the center of their shields.”
As he said, a small piece of adamantium was embedded in the center of the shield.
Adamantium ore with the property of blocking magic.
Arthur then nodded as if he understood. In the end, it meant that they couldn’t be swept away with magic.
The watchman closed the distance and stabbed with a spear. I lowered my stance and dug in. A black blade cut off the opponent’s forearm.
The forearm was cut off without a single drop of blood splattering. I turned to the side to avoid the flying shield.
A kick imbued with magic kicked the watchman’s waist.
bang!
A crack opened in the watchman’s waist with a dull sound. He immediately hit the pitch with Pommel.
The one who lost his head walked in a hand-to-hand fight with his shield at the fore. I grabbed my shield and jumped into the air.
Quaang!
The shield struck the watchman who was aiming behind me. The beaten man staggered.
As soon as I stepped on the back, I cut the black blade vertically. The watchman split into two halves.
Only then did the boy lose his balance and collapse.
“Arthur! We have to catch them with hand-to-hand combat.”
Arthur nodded and swung his sword. The blade cut through the watchman’s waist.
The guy who lost his upper body tried to continue the battle somehow by crawling on the ground.
Kwajik!
I smashed the head of the creeper on the ground and leaped with that power. As it was, I aimed at the watchman who gave the order in the first place.
“Gertaha! Rejouarha!”
At that order, shield soldiers surrounded him and escorted him. A spear blade was revealed between the shields equipped with ranks.
Even at a glance, the guys were even using tactics.
I released my mana and ventured backwards into space.
blink.
In an instant, my body disappeared. When I came back, I was on the ground with a bang.
“Shut up, Ethan. Did you know how to use Blink too?”
“I’ve been steadily learning it lately.”
Arthur seemed to be at a loss for words and looked like an idiot.
“Arthur, it’s time to focus on the battle.”
“Uh, yes… . right.”
“Luntar!”
Summons Runtar to the front.
A red magic circle was engraved on the ground. The guy shook the area with his appearance and exploded flames in front.
Raging flames engulfed the ruins and the watchman.
The summoning ceremony of Runtar was possible because it was in ruins.
If it was an academy or a forest, he wouldn’t have been able to summon Runtar in this way.
“Wow, this doesn’t work either.”
However, the guys were maintaining their shape even in the flames. It seemed that even the flames did not reach the back of the giant shield soldier with his knees bent.
Each one was as strong as the Lizardman Knight. The good thing is that he doesn’t use magic or terrifying magic.
“Ethan, you idiot. Didn’t you even hear what I was saying? Magic doesn’t work.”
Reus’s nagging flew in.
“It wasn’t magic, it was spiritism.”
It was an attack method that I tried by chance. However, as expected, their shields absorbed the flames.
Each one was as strong as a Lizardman Knight. And the number reached five or sixty.
In the original story, Sony used clone magic.
The point of humor was that Arthur was worried about hair loss as he pulled out a handful of hair.
The good news is that he doesn’t radiate terrifying demonic energy like Rien from his time as a Necromancer Knight.
‘wait… . Lien?’
The guys were laughing horribly, waiting for us to tire out. I also looked at them and smiled.
“Hey, Reus. Can you defeat those guys?”
“What do you see me as? It’s that simple.”
ah… . Yes.
Well, in mythology, Achilles swept the battlefield alone in the Trojan War, so he must be confident in hand-to-hand combat.
“When the head is bad, the body suffers. Reus.”
“What? I have higher practical and written scores than you.”
As if he didn’t like it, Reus’ brow narrowed.
“Both of you make a promise to me.”
“promise?”
“Yes, I must keep a secret.”
Reus and Arthur exchanged glances as if wondering.
At first, I was worried about scattering stone fragments loaded with magical power like during the actual battle evaluation defense.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like I could pierce that shield soldier even if I put magic power on it.
“Instead, I’ll help you clear this dungeon comfortably. You guys can just watch and cheer.”
Reus laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“good night. I don’t know what kind of trick you’re going to use, but where do you try it?”
With an arrogant attitude, Reus crossed his arms. I saw Arthur once. Arthur nodded his head curiously.
Reus Even though he looked like that on the outside, he kept the secret until the end when Sonny revealed that he was reincarnated in the original story.
“great. Keep an eye out there.”
The military is meant to be used. I’m not going to stick to the shadows for the rest of my life.
“Respond to the call.”
At that call, the Assassins appeared on the ground. The guys were all wearing hoods, just like they were when they were alive.
Linkea, who was at the forefront, knelt down on one knee.
“Have you called? Lord.”
The red sword tied behind his back fluttered once in the wind.
Rien was taking care of Hesia, and some, including the Dark Elf Janet, were hidden in Hesia’s shadow, but the number of assassins in front of her eyes was close to seventy.
“Destroy them.”
After nodding once, Linkea drew out her curved sword and ran away. After that, the undead army followed.
“Eh, what is this… .”
Reus muttered with dazed eyes. It was quite worth seeing.
But it was still early to be surprised.
The Assassins and the Watchmen collided once. Loud shouts and metallic sounds followed. Each Assassin knew how to release his magic.
They ambush from behind the fighting sentinels and drive the enemy away with great speed.
However, it was also difficult for the Assassins to beat the Knights in hand-to-hand combat.
Soon, the corpses of the soldiers led by Linkea piled up one by one on the floor.
The problem is that they are undead. And I have endless magic.
“Wake up.”
The assassins, who recovered their bodies at the command, attacked the watchman again.
An undying army and an army of tough-to-kill sentinels.
Winning was a set procedure.
“Do you, a fellow warrior candidate, know how to use necromancy?”
What did you say.
The one who kissed the corpse. During the Trojan War, Achilles killed Penthesilia, an Amazonian warrior, and kissed the corpse.
Of course, it depends on the edition, though.
He killed the enemy general Hector, hung the body on a chariot, and circled the castle.
That is the average personality of a character in Greek mythology.
“Ethan, who are they?”
“The Black Brotherhood.”
“ah… .”
It was only then that Arthur seemed to remember that I had annihilated the Assassins for his girlfriend, Ariane.
Eventually, only Linkea and the last sentinel remained on the battlefield.
Linkea kicked the ground. Just like that, the curved sword cut off the watchman’s head.
The guy who lost his head was blindly cutting in the air. Before long, Linkea’s curve flashed again.
The guy, who had been cut in two from the top of his head to his groin, fell down with a thud. With that the battle was over.
“My lord, I have fulfilled your order.”
Linkea returned to me and knelt down.
