Raon drew a frosty line in the pouring rain. A blade of cold follows behind the Jecheon Sword, which has become a silver-white flash.
Kwagwagwagwa!
What Seori Yeon contains is no longer just sharpness and speed. The horde of undead exploded like rotten fruit in a wave of terrifying power.
Hwaaaaa!
Even though he cut down dozens of undead, he did not stop, but moved forward and imbued the requiem sword with Hoecheon’s secret.
The sphere of flame imbued with the energy of resentment rotated violently and was launched at the undead gathered on the right.
Wow!
Not a single undead survived the firestorm that erupted in an intense explosion.
‘We need to reduce the numbers now.’
The Arch Lich placed strong undead at the front to demonstrate its superiority in power.
Even if the Auror and stamina consumption was high, now they had to deal fatal damage to the undead army.
Chaaaaaaaaa!
Raon stepped on Taehwabo, believing in the barrage of swords and arrows pouring down from the castle wall.
He dug into the center of the undead and raised Cheongwu with the Jecheon Sword and Hwaryeong with the Requiem Sword.
Wooooow!
The undead clutched their heads as if they felt pain at the grand sword command that Cheongwu spread. Then, pieces of flame covered the air and melted the heads of the undead.
As Raon was literally slaughtering the undead army, a magic circle with black text engraved on it appeared above his head.
‘Magic circle?’
The Arch Lich’s magic controlling these undead was clear.
Paaaaang!
A purple ray of light shines down from the magic circle. Tremendous speed. I put the Taehwabo in my step backwards.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
A bottomless hole appeared in the ground I was stepping on a little while ago. Not only the speed, but even the power was beyond imagination.
‘At this distance, with this power… .’
At least a little bit.
Seeing that magic of this magnitude was used at the end of the land of death, it seemed that it had a strength that could not be expressed even by the word Sanggwi.
‘Should I back down from this point?’
I had made enough to gain, and I had reached a place where arrows and sword energy could not reach, so it was time to retreat.
Wooooow!
A second black magic circle is drawn in the sky. Whether it was magic or not just a moment ago, the text was different.
“That’s all for today.”
Raon waved his hand as if teasing the Arch Lich who was currently watching.
“Bye.”
He immediately turned his back and ran towards the castle without looking back.
-also!
Lars nodded in satisfaction.
-Speaking of temperament, it’s Raon Sieghardt!
‘hmm?’
-This king has never seen a person with as good a character as you. Your talent is not for this continent, but for the demon world!
The guy tapped me on the shoulder, saying it was a talent that was too valuable to have in the human world.
‘You should go back.’
I pushed away the clinging las and kicked the ground.
Wow!
Clothes and hair are shaken by the huge explosion behind them. As if teasing the lich, she rode the wind and climbed faster up the castle wall.
“Whoa… .”
Raon let out a heavy breath and looked down at the land of death.
‘It’s completely broken.’
The battle line of the undead army, which had caused overwhelming fear to humans just a moment ago, had completely collapsed.
They were scattered here and there like miscellaneous people and did not seem to pose any threat.
“Daejonjal Raon.”
I turned around at Runaan’s call.
“Hey you crazy guy!”
“It’s beyond evil.”
“After all, he is the devil!”
“I’m glad we’re not the only ones suffering from that harsh behavior.”
“It’s a shame there’s no response from the undead. “If you had done that to the White Blood Cult or Eden, it would have been a huge mess!”
Gwangpungdan grinned and waved his hand. Her complexion, which had been pale a moment ago, was turning red with vitality.
“Raon! Thank you for your hard work!”
“Well, it was a swordsmanship that cannot be expressed in words.”
Wendy and Frica also smiled and nodded. There was no longer any shadow on the faces of the two people.
“As expected, White Sword Dragon. “It’s nothing short of fame.”
Bainder whistled leisurely, as if he were a colleague.
“Wow! The pride of our annex!”
“Is that a compliment!”
“… … .”
Yua and Julius also smiled brightly and cheered. Mark Goeton quietly lowered his head as if he had suffered.
Raon also smiled as he looked at the brightened eyes of Gwangpungdan, Hwangjeondae, and the rangers.
‘It worked.’
Not only did they drive out the undead, but the momentum on the castle walls also rose to its peak. All desired results were achieved.
“If we all just hold on a little longer… .”
As I was about to say one last word of hope, a magic circle appeared in the air above the castle wall.
‘You’re here as expected.’
Since magic can be used in places where the undead are gathered, I naturally expected that it could be used here as well.
‘You have to cut it properly here.’
Even if he were an Arch Lich, he wouldn’t be able to freely use magic from this far away. You must clearly cut and show that using magic will actually cause harm.
Squeaky!
The moment purple rays were about to pour out of the magic circle, the requiem sword was launched like a rain sword.
Paaaaang!
The blade of the requiem sword, which used magic blood, split the Arch Lich’s magic and magic circle.
Squeaky!
The magic circle summoned by the Arch Lich crumbled like a dry leaf without even being able to pour out magic.
“No matter what the skull head does from a distance, it’s useless.”
Raon lightly caught the falling requiem sword. The corners of her mouth curled up and she sneered at Archrich, who was watching.
‘This is the last move.’
If this provocation works and the Arch Lich appears in person, this fight can definitely be won.
‘If they don’t come out and continue the war of attrition… .’
It might be difficult.
* * *
The western end should no longer be called the Swamp of Death, but the Land of the Dead.
The three pillars that had been submerged in the swamp revealed their original appearance, with several scars that looked like they had been cut by a sword.
The Arch Lich and Death Knight, spewing blue flames from their empty eyeballs, were leaning against a pillar and looking into a large glass bead.
“Is that the Sieghardt of this era?”
Arch Lich looked at Raon reflected in the orb and snapped his fingers.
“You still have that terrible energy. “It’s like looking at him.”
“okay. “Unlike Aryan, there is still strength in his veins.”
The Death Knight nodded with his fists pressed together.
“It’s not just about force. “He knows how to win the war.”
The Arch Lich lowered the hem of his robe and smoothed the staff in his hand.
‘It makes it impossible to use magic carelessly.’
The young Sieghart’s descendant easily tore apart the magic and magic circle with a small dagger.
Long-distance magic consumes a lot of mana and mental power. Since I didn’t know how the spell was broken, I couldn’t attack it carelessly.
“However, the consumption of stamina and aura was probably more severe than it looked. “The same goes for other humans.”
“Then let’s hit it right away.”
The Death Knight nodded and placed his hand on the long sword worn at his waist.
“Get back in line. “I will take the lead and tear down that wall.”
“i get it. Right now… .”
“No, no.”
When the two top-level undead were about to step forward, a demon ghost appeared behind them.
“That’s what he wants.”
Even though the Demon Ghost was speaking, the Death Knight and the Arch Lich just stood there blankly without even thinking about looking back.
“He just wants you to come now.”
He took out a bead from inside his robe. More than half of the beads, which had been as clear as spring water, had now turned black.
“You shouldn’t go, you should call him here. “That’s how you can change history.”
The Demon Spirit let out a simple voice and stretched out its hand holding the bead.
“Let me help you a little.”
The black smoke rising from the orb seeped into the Death Knight and Arch Lich.
Coo coo coo coo!
The energy of the two undead suddenly grew stronger, and the morale blooming in the land of the dead also gave off an even more terrible odor.
“Get up.”
Death Knight and Arch Lich raised their hands.
Coo coo coo coo!
A huge tremor occurred as if the land of death was collapsing, and the undead who had died in front of the castle wall came back to life and began to line up.
“okay.”
The Demon Ghost nodded, brushing away the beads that had become a little more black.
“The only way you can win is to stop them and kill them.”
Blue flames rose from the eyes of the Arch Lich mask he was wearing.
“I’ll let you know when it’s time to draw the sword.”
* * *
Raon bit his lip as he watched the low-level undead approaching like a wave of water.
‘I guess he’s a guy whose head is spinning.’
Two days have passed since they went down the castle wall, slaughtered the undead, and provoked the Arch Lich.
I thought the angry bastards would come directly, but they fought a war of attrition for two days, sending only mid- to low-level undead.
For five days, the corpses of the undead piled up again and again, until a low hill was created that could reach the castle wall.
‘That’s not the only problem.’
Raon bit his lip and looked back.
“Ugh… .”
“Damn it! When will it end? “Even ants don’t come like that!”
“Sleep… want… .”
Buren, Marta, and Runan were biting their lips with pale expressions. It wasn’t like I was afraid, it was because I had been fighting without sleeping or resting properly for 5 days, so my physical and mental strength had reached its limit.
“Is this ever going to end?”
“They plan to stop us and kill us…” .”
“Damn it! “They look like corpses!”
“Please stop!”
The Gwangpungdan swordsmen were even more exhausted than the leaders, and even the hands holding their swords trembled. There were many people whose eyelids were halfway down because they could not rest properly, let alone sleep.
“Keuuuuu… .”
“Come on, get some sleep… .”
“It never ends.”
Because Gwangpungdan was in such a state, Hwangjeondae held his knees or leaned his back against the wall as if he had fainted, and many of the rangers collapsed from exhaustion.
Raon frowned as he looked at the hands of the collapsed swordsmen and rangers.
‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’
Even though there was no direct combat, the rangers and swordsmen had bloody bandages on their hands. Since I didn’t let go of my weapon for five days, it would be fair to say that I held on well.
“Woah, this is hell… .”
Raon took out a clothespin from his stomach pocket and approached Dorian, who had a sting on his eyelid.
“Dorian. “When you receive it, won’t you get a call that you’ve received it?”
“Unfortunately, there is no such thing. It’s literally one sided… .”
Dorian shook his head, removing the clothespin that had stuck his eye.
“All you can do is wait.”
“Right.”
Raon nodded and stood in front of the castle wall again. Even as I was thinking about it, the undead were slowly approaching.
‘Now there’s another way… .’
-Think about yourself first.
Lars came out of the bracelet and frowned.
-The other guys took a nap at least. You haven’t slept for 5 days!
The guy told me to get some rest and gave him a round fist.
‘Are you worried?’
-Well, what are you worried about? Your body will soon become the King’s, so don’t use it carelessly!
Lars quickly shook his head and shouted no.
‘Well, while using the silver aurora earlier, he secretly added anger.’
-Huh! How… .
‘How could you not know that?’
Raon smiled slightly. Ras did not recover the anger he had poured into himself while helping to activate the Silver Aurora. He may have intentionally left it alone to use as a trap to use later, but he already knew.
-Ouch! He really doesn’t want to help!
‘Anyway, thank you for your concern.’
I patted Lars’ cotton candy-like head and caught my breath.
‘When this war is over, I’ll buy you whatever you want to eat.’
I’m not just saying this. I couldn’t sleep well or eat comfortably, so I wanted to eat properly and sleep.
-Really?
‘okay.’
-Why are you… .
‘It’s a bit hard to say that I’m a minister, but I’ll be angry. ‘You can restore your aura and stamina, right?’
-Auror is possible. It can also heal wounds. But mental strength is too much.
‘mentality… .’
-Right now, your mental strength has been completely depleted from fighting and taking charge of this castle without sleeping at all. Even this king can’t do anything about that.
Lars frowned and continued.
-Even if your stamina and aura are full, if you lack mental strength, you cannot fight properly.
‘Right.’
That is correct. You can recover your aura little by little through practice, but your mental strength cannot be recovered. But even though I knew that, I had no choice but to hold on for now.
As Raon sighed softly, Wendy Arian approached.
“Raon.”
Wendy smiled awkwardly and raised her head.
“Hey, how about we throw away our anger and retreat now?”
With her lips quivering, she said, “Let’s abandon this castle.”
“Are you serious?”
Wendy Aryan is a true warrior who wielded the sword alone to save the family even when the entire Aryan family was corrupted and ruined. The fact that she, with her admirable mental strength, said she should abandon this castle and run away meant that it was a crisis.
“yes. “Because people are more important than sex.”
She nodded as if she had already made up her mind.
“Unfortunately, it can’t be done.”
Raon slowly shook his head.
“That’s what they’re after.”
This castle, built by the first Aryan family, has the effect of preventing fraud. If the castle collapses or goes out, all the ordinary people will die without being able to withstand the morale rising from the ground, and swordsmen and rangers will also be hunted by the tireless undead.
‘Is that person still training?’
Just as Rimmer was feeling frustrated, the ranger leader, Frica, who had gone to take a break, came running.
“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”
Frica continued speaking while wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
“Wygen Arian and the executives have escaped!”
“what?”
“It is said that they somehow opened the prison door, took hostages, and escaped over the eastern wall!”
“ah… .”
Wendy Ariane bit her fingernails in despair.
“Well, something like that… .”
Raon looked at Frica and clenched his fists.
‘I knew, but… .’
It was that much trash.
No matter how much he was pushed out, it was unbelievably obscene to run away even though he knew his family was in danger.
“Who helped me? “Is it Bainder?”
“Not me.”
Vainder, who followed Frica up, waved his hand.
“I was resting in my dorm like I was dead. “Frica is a witness.”
“yes… .”
Frica nodded as if that was correct.
“Even though Yamseng was a human being, the atmosphere is not good because the head of the family ran away. Shouldn’t she all run away? .”
He gritted his teeth, saying that the spirit of the united family was ruined because of Wigen and the executives.
“I guess so.”
Raon nodded.
‘No matter how bad I was, I was the head of the family.’
Even if Wendy becomes the new head of the family, it is only temporary. Since Wigen, who lived like a loach, ran away, it was natural that people’s morale would drop.
“I will do my best to punish that little pig!”
Martha couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed her fist on the floor.
“ha… .”
As Raon was sighing in frustration, a strong morale rose from behind.
‘no way?’
When I turned around, I saw dark clouds rising.
Coo coo coo coo!
As if they had sensed the unrest inside the castle, the mid-to-high-level undead army hiding behind zombies and skeletons began to move again.
Kiyi!
It starts with the Specter floating in the sky. He let out his black-stained breath and aimed at the rangers standing at the end of the castle wall on the right.
“Runan!”
“huh.”
At Raon’s call, Runan, who was standing near the right castle wall, kicked the ground. As soon as they took a step, a spreading wall of frost blocked the rangers’ path.
Whoa!
The breath of fraud and the wall of cold clash and disappear at the same time.
The moment the wall broke, Runaan jumped into the air and unfolded her second sword. The bodies of the two Specters, who were trying to retreat, were split in half by the quick yet soft sword strike of frost.
However, the undead did not care whether Specter was dead or not and ran with all their might.
Coo coo coo coo!
Ghouls and Skeleton Warriors rushed in from the center, a group of Dullahan rushed in like knights, and on the left, three Death Knights flashed red eyes.
But that wasn’t everything. Liches and skeleton mages appeared on the right and began to use magic. It was a magic corps that had been hidden until now.
“Martha, Burren.”
Raon bit his lip and pointed at the magic corps.
“Stop the magic somehow.”
“Follow my orders.”
“You gave me a task that was too easy!”
Contrary to their words, the two people raised their auras with a sombre expression on their faces.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Liches and skeleton mages fire powerful magic. Burren and Marta shot down magic in the air by shooting out sword energy imbued with the energy of wind and earth. However, the aftermath of the explosion washed over the castle wall, creating large and small cracks.
“Matriarch, please continue to protect the entire castle wall! Sir Mark, please take care of the bastards coming from the center. I am… .”
Raon threw a silver sword at the group of Dullahan charging from the left. Behind the thinly advancing sword energy, a strong energy dripping with life came out. It was a long-distance sword attack that transformed the silver sword dream.
Sigh!
With a horrifying cutting sound, the six Dyurahan’s bodies split in half and rolled on the ground.
“I’ll take charge of the big guys.”
This time, I stepped on Taehwabo to the right. A chimera zombie that looked like a group of about 100 zombies was running.
‘You can’t let that guy come near you.’
He adjusted his sword and launched a high-speed sword attack. However, before the blue sword energy touched the chimera zombie’s body, it swelled up like a balloon.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The chimera zombie, which grew as if the wind had been pushed into it, exploded its body before the sword energy reached it. Blackened flesh and bones flew towards the castle walls. It was a corpse explosion called a suicide attack.
Cheeriing!
Raon stepped onto the slanted castle wall and relaxed the hand holding the Jecheon Sword. The white shadow that was released by erasing the darkness melted all the bones and flesh that fell on the castle wall. Baekyeong Island. The aftermath of the explosion was eliminated with a sword technique that erased all energy.
Wooooow!
Two magic circles appear in the air. I kicked the castle wall without even having time to breathe. When the black-stained spears were about to be fired from the magic circle, a requiem sword clad in strong energy was lowered.
Sigh!
The magic yaw point was used, splitting the magic spear and the magic circle that were about to strike at the same time.
“after… .”
Raon let out a rough breath and lowered his gaze. So many. Since it was a group of reinforced undead, there were many who penetrated through the sword energy and penetrated inside.
‘hmm?’
The sword energy was flying, but the arrows that were falling endlessly had stopped. When I looked back, the rangers were holding only their bows and their hands were shaking.
‘Did the arrow fall…? .’
In a way, it is natural. Because even if Wendy had put her big heart into it and replenished her supplies, she didn’t expect the battle to be this big. Thanks to the residents who came forward and made arrows, we were able to survive until now.
“Raise your spear!”
At Raon’s shout, the rangers grabbed their short spears and headed towards the castle wall.
“Throw it!”
“Aaaah!”
Although his skill level was low, there were so many undead that the javelin hit the heads of the ghouls and skeleton warriors. But the advance of the undead did not stop.
Quaaaaa!
I started a fire with a manga ball and created an ice spear with Glacia’s cold energy and threw it away, but it was too much to handle all the undead alone.
‘It’s faster than expected, but I can’t help it!’
Raon turned his attention to the rangers managing the supplies.
“Sprinkle holy water!”
With those words, the rangers opened the lid of the holy water they had been saving and poured it into the salt water. They quickly mixed the water and poured it down the wall.
Sigh!
However, the undead did not stop even after being covered in holy water. Instead, it ran faster and started hitting the castle wall.
Knock knock!
The cracks in the castle wall grew wider due to the deep morale of the undead.
“Huh!”
“W-what… .”
“Seo, holy water doesn’t work?”
“This doesn’t make sense!”
The rangers and swordsmen shook their chins at the strange sight of the undead ignoring the holy water and approaching.
“Well, I think that’s fake.”
Wendy frowned and waved her hand.
“FALSE?”
“The former head of the house said he was selling something from the warehouse, and he pocketed a lot of money, and I think that was a real deal.”
She bit her lip, saying, “I never thought they would sell the holy water they had stockpiled.”
“ah… .”
“Wow, fake holy water… .”
“Does this make sense?”
The morale of the walls sank even further when they heard that the holy water was fake. Shadows appeared not only on the faces of the rangers, but also on the faces of the prosecutors.
“Dorian!”
“I have it because it’s a necessity! however… .”
Dorian put down his sword and put his hands in his stomach pockets. The guy who took it out again had five luxurious-looking glass bottles in his hand.
“This is expensive!”
He mixed holy water and salt water into a watering can used to water flowers, and then sprayed it down from the castle wall.
Shuuuuuuu!
Kyaaaaaaa!
The undead who had been pushing in like bulls despite being hit by spears, arrows, and swords began to scream and retreat. The morale that had been digging into the castle walls also disappeared as if it had been erased with an eraser.
Quaaaaa!
A dark ray of light shot out from the hand of the lich who was commanding the undead magic army. I looked in the direction and saw that they were aiming for Dorian.
Sigh!
Raon lowered his requiem sword in reverse, cutting off the flying magic. He went down and put his fiery will into his sword. As the sword shot forward, the fire dragon’s breath spewed out and burned all the undead approaching the castle wall.
Piaaaang!
During the attack, there was a flood of magic and arrows fired by the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage.
Damn it!
As I was cutting magic with the Requiem Sword and cutting arrows with the Requiem Sword, I heard the sound of the left castle wall collapsing.
When I raised my head, I saw a Death Knight hiding among the zombies jumping up the castle wall.
Cheaaa!
Runaan quickly approached and blocked the sword that fell on the ranger, but she was also exhausted and was immediately pushed back.
Raon brought the rotational force that started from his ankles up to his wrists and fired a thousand arrows.
Piaaaaa!
The deadly blade imbued with the invincibility of perfection became a beam of light and flew out, crushing the Death Knight’s skull.
“Ugh… .”
Raon endured the pain in his lungs and climbed back up to the castle wall.
‘It’s so hard.’
The hand holding the sword trembled and his eyes narrowed. They retreated for a while due to Seongsu and Yeomryonggyeol, but it was just to buy time. This side was exhausted, but the war on the other side was just beginning.
Raon gently bit his molars as he looked at the flocking undead and the tightly closed castle gate.
‘Now the only way left is… .’
