Dungeon Hunter Chapter 84:
Chapter 84-86: Scene of Carnage
Transparent insect . An intermediate 1Lv creature that automatically turned transparent when it received the sunlight . It was the size of a child and wasn’t very strong, but it was a different story if there were thousands of them . Vibrating its wings would confuse the enemy . And they pounced like a group of piranhas…the vibrations caused by thousands of wings was enough to cause a brain concussion and pain .
Now over one thousand insects were approaching the Awakened .
“Electricity!”
Kung!
Yoo Eun-hye took a stance like she was firing a gun and electricity shot out . She was showing a rare grade lightning skill . Many of the approaching transparent insects were swept away by the shock . Despite the fact that the insects were transparent, they couldn’t fool the keen senses of the Awakened .
“Water Barrier!”
Lee Ji-hye erected a barrier that was 5m in width and 2m in height . It was a new skill she learnt after the humiliation with the king bee . It acted to block the vibrations emanating from the wings of the transparent insects .
All of the Awakened gathered here were at a decent level . The transparent insects were the weakest among intermediate creatures so the Awakened could deal with them .
“Captain-nim . Do we have to stay in this spot?”
Yoo Eun-hye wiped the sweat from her forehead after dealing with the nearby transparent insects . Edward was nearby smiling .
‘Good . ’
I nodded as I watched them .
The combination of Yoo Eun-hye and Edward was good . The two of them had already handled 10 transparent insects alone . They would become some of the strongest Heroes in the future . It was quite interesting watching their growth .
“Captain-nim?”
Yoo Eun-hye blinked .
I replied with a flippant attitude .
“This fight is likely to be a long battle . We have to do it little by little . ”
“Hu! To be honest, I’ll just be glad if I don’t die . By the way, the six winged angel is really terrific . It is the first time I’m seeing creatures look so pitiful . ”
The demons and angels fighting .
It was an overwhelming sight . Hashmal was particularly overwhelming . She killed hundreds of creatures and was like an elephant stepping on ants .
The demons initially tried to handle Hashmal but changed routes and aimed at the large group of angels . Even with recovery, severing the limbs or completely destroying the heart and brains would make recovery impossible . Hashmal couldn’t take care of all the angels .
And…I used Lightning God on the demons . In fact, Lightning God devoured the random creatures that it encountered .
If this situation continued, the angels would be defeated . But I didn’t want such an obvious situation .
My plan . I sincerely wished for them to destroy each other .
The demons were perplexed as Lightning God appeared out of nowhere . They soon realized that Lightning God was a skill but couldn’t find the demon or angel using it . The Awakened didn’t even cross their minds . It was unthinkable that humans would be able to use such skills . Of course, I wasn’t a human .
‘Come back, Lightning God . ’
This much was enough . Lightning God had only been active for 5 minutes but it gave a crack for the angels to counterattack . There was only a small amount of electric power so I would only take out Lightning God when needed . Lightning God that was in the shape of a huge dragon disappeared like it was a lie . And it curled up in my body waiting for the next occurrence .
‘M1, M2 . Start . ’
At that moment .
Yiing……
Red lights turned on in the eyes of the auto-golems M1 and M2 who were waiting .
M1 and M2’s role was simple . I ordered them to automatically repel any attack on the dungeon barrier .
The two silver golems roamed the sky and showed considerable destructive power . The physical abilities alone were comparable to a high class creature . They couldn’t handle Hashmal but the two golems could easily deal with normal angels .
Swiik!
The angels were persistent . They systematically attacked M1 and M2 . There were heavy winds every time an angel pulled their bow . The wings of the angels contained holy power and were very threatening to the golems .
But it was no use . The golems had a simple way of fighting . They would approach and grab the angel’s wings with their hands . And then they would carefully rip the wings off .
“Aaack!”
An angel’s wings was a collection of holy power . It would take a very long time to recover . Hashmal’s recovery also wasn’t effective on it . The angels who lost their wings would fall to the ground and become the prey of creatures .
“……”
Hashmal drew a cross with one hand and a circle with the other . Then the angels attacking the outer wall stopped . They rushed away from M1 and M2 .
A calm and excellent judgment . She correctly saw how M1 and M2 moved while dealing with multiple enemies . She had amazing concentration .
M1 and M2 performed exactly like the command they received . They paused after the barrier stopped being attacked .
Hashmal made a move at M1 and M2 after they stopped .
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Soon the Thunder of Light was everywhere .
“Stupid fool . You should look at the demons first to be your opponents . ”
Saman laughed .
Earl Saman . One of Grand Duke Upa’s faction who was participating in the angel hunt .
“Demons attacking when the sun is up won’t get any benefits…tsk tsk tsk . ”
The sun raised the capabilities of the angels . This was common sense for demons . Nevertheless, this was an event and they were confident . The demons felt a lot of pressure to take action .
But Saman wasn’t in a hurry . He was looking at the movements of the sun .
He turned his head and looked at his creatures . Unlike the other demons, Saman wasn’t accompanied by a lot of demons .
Bugbear, vampire, werewolf king! Only three . But they were more reassuring than the thousands of intermediate creatures . They were creatures that exerted a stronger force in the moonlight and were the angels’ natural enemies .
“Now it is evening . You have come to my world . Huhuhu!”
Saman scanned Hashmal .
The sun sank .
The world was locked in darkness . No, the whole of South Korea was dark . It became a deep night in minutes .
The glorious wings of the angels illuminated the surroundings . But their numbers were too small . Except for the 200 inside there dungeon, there were approximately 130 remaining .
It was the opposite of the creatures . There were still many around . Seven thousand . Three thousand had disappeared in half a day but the momentum was with them .
Hashmal had a slightly weary countenance . There was no change in expression but she didn’t randomly make spears of light anymore like she did when the sun was up . It was a natural result after eliminating thousands of creatures alone .
Earl Saman and his three creatures started moving .
The bugbear was a type of black chimera . It was an accidentally born from a synthesis of an insect and dark bear . It was famous for being very brutal under the moonlight .
Vampire, werewolf king…no words were needed . Both were advanced 4Lv creatures . They were especially stronger at night . They were capable of causing devastation among general angels .
“Kuahaha! Stop the angels!”
Saman cracked the whip . He smiled as they rushed towards the angels .
The vampire changed into a bat and bit one of the angels . Blood flowed from the angel’s neck . The angel that lost its blood trembled . The vampire’s curse was the opposite of holy power . One bite meant the holy power’s recovery wasn’t effective .
Werewolf King .
He was a creature with the name of king and the fighting style was also exciting . He quickly jumped at the angels . The wings were ripped off and the angels could no longer live .
“……”
Hashmal gazed at them and made hundreds of light spears . The hundreds of light spears headed to the vampire and werewolf king . However, the sun was gone and stamina depleted so it didn’t have the same majesty as before . The speed and accuracy had fallen badly .
Many intermediate creatures died but the vampire and werewolf king weren’t touched at all .
“You are just like a whore! My creatures will never die from attacks like that!”
Saman gave a huge laugh .
Hashmal just produced hundreds of light spears again . But this time they didn’t move . Instead, the spears joined together .
Hashmal finished a 3m long trident . It was the first time she used a weapon in this fight . This meant the situation wasn’t going well .
The eyes of the demons shone .
“Break Hashmal’s neck . ”
“This is our chance . ”
The demons released their advanced creatures . It was expected that the intermediate grade ones wouldn’t be able to do anything .
Saman frowned .
“These fools! But your creatures are no match!”
Saman wielded his whip and the bugbear moved more enthusiastically . He added a few more advanced creatures like the vampires and werewolf king . They particularly had a ‘natural enemy’ relationship with the angels .
The demons started a full scale offensive against Hashmal and the last Virtues Angel .
Hashmal frowned .
Paak!
She took care of dozens of wyverns but there was no end to the number of advanced creatures coming . Hashmal was gradually being pushed to the edge of a cliff . She was even vulnerable to the werewolf king .
“Kuahaha! I got it…!”
Hashmal was within easy reach of Saman .
Kyaooooh!
Lightning God suddenly bit Saman . Saman and the bugbear disappeared in an instant .
I gave a small smile .
‘This is worth entering . ’
I was standing with the Awakened in the middle of the battlefield .
Hashmal was approaching the limit but there were still hundreds of casualties, making it easy to catch a demon off-guard .
Thanks to Saman, Lightning God was able to eat .
| -The demon hunt was successful . The effect of the title ‘Dungeon Hunter’ has created 1 residual stat point .
500,000pt will be given . |
A reward for killing an earl . I was satisfied with getting an extra stat point .
There were other demons who were good targets but Lightning God ended up eating Saman .
At that time, Hashmal’s gaze moved towards me . She stared at me .
‘She noticed . ’
The owner of Lightning God was noticed . The question was whether the demons had noticed . I was helping Hashmal and the angels so it would be annoying for the future if the demons noticed .
I suppressed my maximum magic power but there was no way of knowing . I stared straight into Hashmal’s eyes .
After a few seconds, Hashmal turned her head away again .
‘Go on?’
I didn’t know the reason . But her eyes weren’t hostile .
“Captain-nim . We should step back . It will be dangerous if we stay any later!”
Lee Ji-hye cried out from nearby .
The strong creatures were rushing towards Hashmal . But there were many creatures remaining . The intermediate creatures were tough opponents for the Awakened .
The bodies of the Awakened were exhausted . They were drinking potions to sustain themselves . The trolls and banshees were flooding the area . It was a situation where a single crack would mean losing their lives to a monster!
But…I shook my head .
“Endure . ”
“We might die . Captain-nim, this absolutely isn’t a good plan . Once the angels are pushed back, the humans will be their next target!”
Lee Ji-hye stated . Hashmal and the angels were being pushed back little by little . They were clearly struggling in power .
But my answer didn’t change .
“Endure . ”
“This…! Do you want them to self-destruct?”
“No . ”
Lee Ji-hye wielded her staff with tight lips as she heard it .
I expressed my intention to participate .
I looked at the entrance of the dungeon .
And Lee Ji-hye, Yoo Eun-hye and Edward stayed behind me while I waited for the ‘moment . ’
* * *
Chrisley clutched the Death Wand and said .
“We have to stop them . Our opponents are the angels and we will beat them with the power given to us . ”
1,500 creatures were assembled on the 1st floor . Among them were a large number of advanced creatures .
And even if they were lacking power, they needed to desperately defend the dungeon . This was their last home . They pledged their lives to defend the Tree of Origin . Chrisley and all the dark elves were prepared .
However, Julliom was an exception . He opened his mouth with a very worried expression .
“Queen-nim . Please step back . The angels aren’t easy existences . ”
After going through the treatment with the Dungeon Master, Chrisley had been appointed as ‘Queen’ of the dark elves . Julliom and even Krasla would listen to her . But Chrisley just laughed awkwardly .
“Elder-nim . What do I have to fear when the lich and seven spartoi in the vicinity?” (Spartoi= grown from the body parts of a dragon)
“Queen-nim doesn’t know . How brutal and scary the angels are…!”
Julliom trembled .
Demon World . Julliom spent a long time there and had seen angels step out of dimensional gates a few times . They were existences that tried to destroy all life in the Demon World . Julliom had to make an appeal for his life every time .
Of course, the invasion from the heavens wasn’t frequent . It occurred once every several decades . But the Demon World received a huge blow every time .
In a nutshell, the weak people would only die . Julliom wanted to live near the world tree for this reason . He didn’t want to always live with the fear of dying .
On the other hand, Chrisley was young . She never felt fear towards the angels . So Julliom wanted to maintain that .
“Don’t worry . This degree isn’t enough to make my body cold . ”
Chrisley tried to dispel his worries and laughed brightly . She had become increasingly more beautiful and now there were no dark elves who could match her beauty . Julliom’s spirit briefly recovered .
Julliom who recovered his mental state said .
“…This old man will die to protect your life . ”
“Huhu . That is reassuring . ”
Kung!
Kwaang!
At that moment .
The dungeon shook . The angels had launched their attacks . Soon a large number of them would be coming through the entrance .
Chrisley gripped the Death Wand tightly .
“Get ready . The enemy is coming . ”
Two hundred angels .
Four Principalities Angels .
One Powers Angel…
That was the number of angels entering the dungeon . The angels didn’t seem affected by the darkness and marched into the dungeon without any hesitation . They were faced with the saber tigers .
Grrr!
There were dozens of saber tigers in the vicinity of the angels . The angels held weapons made of light and moved to the saber tigers that hastily retreated . They seemed encourage and followed .
But it wasn’t easy . The angels kept their ranks . The angels were simple but not ignorant . They realized this was a trap .
Chrisley immediately introduced the lizardmen . The lizardmen were intermediate 2Lv creatures A frontal confrontation with the lizards .
Surup! Sururup!
Round wooden shields and scimitars . The angels wearing armour crashed into 50 lizardmen . It was very provocative behaviour .
It wasn’t expected that the lizardmen could win compared to the two hundred angels . It was for the commander to investigate the enemy’s firepower .
The 50 lizardmen took 8 minutes to die . The lizardmen were handled by two angels! The efficiency was enough that the Principalities Angels and Powers Angel didn’t have to come out . It seemed to be an objective indicator .
“It is more than I expected . The angels…”
The dungeon’s crystal ball . Chrisley could see the circumstances in the dungeon thanks to that item . The force of the angels witnessed through the crystal ball was intense .
“But it is fortunate . There doesn’t seem to be many high ranking angels . ”
Julliom sighed with relief .
Chrisley asked with confusion .
“I heard that the hierarchy of the angels is diverse and complex . Is the difference that big?”
“Yes . The archangels have a special existence but otherwise there is a strict hierarchy . The Powers Angels are intermediate ranked like the dark elves . Virtues Angels and Dominions Angels can confront high class creatures alone . Climbing up the hierarchy…I have never seen the Thrones, Cherubs and Seraphims so I’m not sure how strong they are . ”
“Then there must be a Heavenly King . ”
“That’s right . The Heavenly King is the master of heaven . Just like the Devil is the master of the Demon World . And it is possible for us to match the power of the Principalities and Powers Angels here . ”
Tension was finally released from Julliom .
Chrisley continued looking through the crystal ball before saying .
“I will throw more food at them . It is the turn of the werewolves . All…prepare the ceremony . ”
The lizardmen, werewolves and nagas greeted the angels and died . A complete extermination . Their blood was scattered all over the place and on the angels’ bodies .
The sun in the sky would naturally remove the blood from them . But the dungeon was dark so they didn’t have that luxury . In the end, the angels could only move while covered in blood . They were facing the dark bears and trolls when the ‘ceremony’ began .
The ceremonies of the dark elves were unique . At first, it was just words and actions . But after a while, it started to exert a real strength . The ceremonies were different for each tribe . A skill that was difficult to describe . It was close to a transcendent will .
And Julliom knew a ceremony to ‘curse’ the opponents . It was ancient magic that used blood to weaken the opponents . The angels were already covered by the blood of the creatures so they couldn’t avoid it .
The dark elves gathered the resentment inside the corpses of the creatures . The dark elves’ bodies trembled from this sentiment .
A moment later, a saber tiger appeared with a dead angel in its mouth .
“Stick to the wings . The souls of the dead creatures will curse the angels . ”
Julliom passed over a dagger . However, the dagger was so old the colour was dull . Her hand didn’t want to touch it but Chrisley received the cursed dagger . She took a deep breath and stabbed the wings of the angel on the floor .
Hiaaaah-
A strange moaning sound . The sound was heard from the mouth of the dead angel .
A wave of intense magic power that contained a curse was generated and rushed madly towards the demons .
The angels felt it and looked confused . Julliom who was watching through the crystal ball nodded .
“A success . The curse of pain . ”
“…Then prepare to attack . We will drive out the enemies . ”
So far the angels had received minimal damage .
Once it was confirmed that they were affected by the curse, the chances of victory became convincing . There was only a small number inside . There were many more outside . As many creatures as possible needed to be preserved .
At that moment, Chrisley staggered . Her legs seemed to have become tangled up .
“The souls are clamouring . Lean on me . ”
This was the impact of the curse . More powerful opponents would cause a strong recoil . If Chrisley’s intelligence wasn’t over 100 then she would have fainted for a few days .
Julliom was startled and stretched out a hand .
“It is okay . There are those suffering outside this room…this is nothing . ”
Chrisley solidly placed both feet on the ground and started to move .
* * *
‘Daytime . ’
The evening passed . The moon gradually sunk and the reddish sunset appeared . Even so, Hashmal still hadn’t fallen . The creatures relentlessly poured out attacks but her gestures and facial expression showed she wasn’t disturbed .
‘Hashmal…it isn’t an empty name . ’
Awesome . Honest admiration . In fact, Hashmal was more suitable for secondary roles than combat . She was different from the angel in my previous life who gained tremendous achievements in 1 year and 6 months .
So I tended to slightly ignore her . I thought she would reach the edge of the cliff and reveal her limits .
But now the situation was enough to make me praise her . Other than Hashmal, there were still 80 angels left . In the end, it wasn’t much different from Hashmal facing the demons alone .
Current Carrier of Light . She could use that light .
If I was in that spot . I imagined what would happen if that was me .
‘Half a day . At most a day . ’
I knew myself well . I would need to show reckless bravery . In addition, I was weak in confrontations with many opponents . Given that limitation, it was an objective judgement .
But Hashmal’s momentum still wasn’t killed . The sun rose and her holy magic was being restored . It was like a sick person recovering .
Thanks to that, the situation transitioned to a lull phase .
The demons were gathering their advanced creatures for another offensive . It seemed like their stamina had also been depleted .
“This is **** right here . ”
Yoo Eun-hye angrily said as she came to my side . Her once clean face was covered in blood and dirt . Too many things were happening to even think of cleaning it up .
But the problem didn’t end there .
Currently, the members of his raid group and the surviving Awakened were in the centre of the battlefield .
They were glad that the lull meant the frequency of attacks lowered . They were able to rest among the dead bodies of the creatures…
“Don’t relax . ’
“Hu! I’m not planning to relax . My head is still pounding from the transparent insects .
Yoo Eun-hye rubbed her forehead .
I turned away and scanned the remaining Awakened .
From my point of view, the Awakened were no different from newborn children . They were still learning about the battlefield . But they would certainly ‘grow’ the longer they were on the battlefield .
Initially they were scared by all the blood running but now they were numb to it . They were sad about their colleagues dying but didn’t linger over it . It made them realize their survival instinct .
A moment to rest . The faces of the Awakened were all exhausted . Even so, their eyes were alive . They were still wary of their surroundings .
Of course, some wanted to flee . There were already 40 people who deserted . But most of them had crossed the river of no return . As soon as they broke away from the ranks, more than half of them was slain .
But this was a blessing . Seeing the situation of those who fled would inspire them more . There was no way to get away from here except for victory .
“Captain-nim . Do you hear that sound?”
Yoo Eun-hye who was applying a potion to her injuries suddenly heard a strange sound .
The sound was coming from the direction of the dungeon .
“There are more angels? But why are they coming out from the dungeon? No, rather…why are they in that state?”
Yoo Eun-hye discovered the source of the sound .
Dozens of angels were coming out from the dungeon entrance .
All the Awakened, angels and even the demons had wide eyes .
They were the angels who attacked the inside of the dungeon . But they were in a bad state . Some had their wings ripped to shreds and couldn’t fly while others had their organs showing .
‘They are coming . ’
The corners of my mouth went up slightly .
Their appearance made it obvious that Chrisley was successful . And following behind the angels were a number of creatures .
Kung!
Kuuong!
The first was an advanced golem . And there were the imposing figures of the lich and saber tigers .
The demons made an expression like they realized something . There hadn’t been any news about the creatures and owner of this dungeon . If it was just the creatures then they could safely ignore it . However, the numbers were considerable . A single force with an absolutely outstanding level .
But the Dungeon Master didn’t seem to be visible . A competitor, an enemy? The two had similar meaning but the situation might change depending on which word it was .
However, they hadn’t showed themselves in the past day .
The lull was over as angels, demons and humans tensed up .
In particular, the Awakened had really tense shoulders . They cursed the fact that more creatures emerged from the dungeon .
Yoo Eun-hye had the courage to confess something after the atmosphere changed .
“Captain-nim . If I live through this then I will boldly kiss you . ”
“There is no need . ”
* * *
A shocking appearance .
A number of creatures was blocking the entrance to the dungeon .
All the demons and angels intently watched the dungeon . It was a silent battlefield as the attacks stopped . An extension of the war . There were all types of speculation running through their heads so there was silence .
In particular, the demons were really interested . The person who owned so many creatures of high quality . A Duke or Grand Duke? If might account for why they didn’t move from the start .
However…the Dungeon Master’s identity was shrouded in a veil . Only the creatures were revealed . The demons couldn’t move easily without knowing what faction the Dungeon Master belonged to . If they made one wrong move then they could be involved in a hornet’s nest .
There was a possibility this was the dungeon a high ranking demon . So they watched each other while asking ‘you?’ with their eyes .
Of course, they couldn’t come to a conclusion . Everything was just a guess . They could guess the intentions if the creatures acted but…
For now, everything was just still .
The creatures stayed at the entrance of the dungeon and didn’t move even one step . It was like they wouldn’t move as long the dungeon wasn’t touched .
In fact, the silver golems M1 and M2 only acted to repel the angels attacking the barrier . They stopped moving after the barrier wasn’t attacked anymore .
What to do?
The demons had attacked Hashmal without hesitation . Their interests aligned with ‘angel hunting’ so they easily moved .
But…they couldn’t read the intent of the Dungeon Master . Maybe they appeared at the last minute to watch the show . But then the daylight fully arrived . They had no time to waste .
They couldn’t just stand there . In this situation, the demons had to come out . If they didn’t move…Hashmal would recover her divine power . A long day of attacking the angels would repeat again . There was also a chance that the dungeon’s creatures would move . It would be a problem if they decided the demons were competitors for hunting the angels .
The demons would have to watch their backs . Half a day ago, the demon ‘Saman’ had been fried by electricity .
“I don’t know which faction you belong to but come out! If you don’t come out then I will tear down your dungeon!”
Marquis Anastasia yelled . A demon who was supported by Pandemonium . A demon who was impossible to push back even if three demons joined their strengths . He would be the first one out to cut the enemy . She knew that Pandemonium wasn’t the owner of this dungeon .
“Stop playing . Did you think you would get away with such an obvious move?”
Marquis Dellat said in a scathing tone .
The demons gathered here didn’t trust each other . Especially between two factions…that’s just the way it was .
“It isn’t a trick! I will tear down the foundation . ”
“Really? Haha! Okay . Then try attacking the dungeon . I will believe the sincerity of your words then . ”
Taking responsibility for her words . But Anastasia had a red face . She said she would crush it but it was just a threat . It was to put pressure on the demon who was the owner of the dungeon .
Dellat raised his right hand with a smile .
“Waste your time . And continue to struggle . I will take Hashmal’s head . ”
The hand was raised to order a march . The creatures ran towards Hashmal once again .
It was a wise choice . Dellat had calmly analyzed the battlefield . The demons had hesitated .
However, the numbers were small . Hashmal was strong and would pressure them . Her recovery needed to be thwarted . There was an important change in the demons’ movements . They ignored the dungeon and started attacking .
On the other hand…there were those who still had doubts .
Chwack!
Orc shamans chanted spells at death knights . A knight on horseback attacked Dellat .
Chiing!
“What are you doing?”
Dellat scowled as he fended off the attacks . The owner of the death knight was Anastasia .
“…It is suspicious . This dungeon, does it belong to your faction? Are you trying to monopolize the points?”
“You bitch! You finally went crazy!”
Angry words popped out of Dellat’s mouth .
It was strange that they were attacking each other . In this situation, they shouldn’t be at each other’s throats . The common enemy, ‘Hashmal’ and the angels were in front of them . It was natural for the demons to be angry . The situation had become more complicated……
Madness entered Dellat’s eyes .
“I will kill you . I will tear this **** apart!”
That was the starting point .
Small doubts had brought about a division . The main power against the angels was pulled out . Some demons were fighting among themselves . The creatures on the battlefield became deeply entwined .
At that moment .
“Help the angels!”
“Wipe out the creatures!”
Now the Awakened starting moving .
I smirked .
It was a plan I hastily thought of .
Taking advantage of the bad blood among the factions . They had barely united in the fact of the common enemy that was the angels . This superficial connection was easily broken with a little bit of confusion .
The main part of this plan was the number of creatures Chrisley had left . Fortunately, she had achieved a huge victory judging by the appearance of the angels . Many creatures . It was likely that they would lose some power in this event . An itch behind them . In other words, a needle .
It was natural that doubts would spring up among the demons .
Thirteen . No, there were only twelve demons left . Anastasia was a fish that had been caught .
Even the Awakened…this was a true scene of carnage .
‘Wonderful . ’
I praised Chrisley who wasn’t here . Frankly, even half being left would be a success . I never thought only one third would be lost . Chrisley’s role was substantial . Confusion was created thanks to her .
Now there were only a few hundred Awakened so they wouldn’t be a big help against the creatures . It was at least enough to give Hashmal and the angels time to recover .
“We have only one thing to do . Endure . There is no need for anything else!”
My cry entered the ears of the Awakened .
Fighting and enduring were completely different things . They were capable of doing it .
And Hashmal was looking down at me with strange eyes .
The sun was shining . My original group of 500 had decreased by more than half . Sink or swim . It felt like throwing eggs at a rock .
I was wearing a rare sword instead of Wrath . I raised my sword to the sky and shouted .
“We are the last hopes of our country . If the angels die then our hometowns, parents, relatives and friends will be trampled on! Defend it!”
It was funny that I was discussing South Korea’s future . But it was necessary . Small flames were ignited in the Awakened .
The Awakened needed to hold on for as long as possible . In addition, it was risky for Lee Ji-hye, Yoo Eun-hye and Edward . I couldn’t lose them in a place like this . My objective was to make them grow in this battle, not die .
Of course, I was there to ensure their safety . However, then it was highly likely that my identity would be discovered . That was the worst case scenario .
“Dammit . I’ll do it . Even if I can’t keep it!”
“Aaaah!”
The Awakened were filled with energy at my words . Hope . It was indeed a good word .
The injured Awakened with legs barely attached due to potions or deep face wounds also moved . They dedicated themselves to fighting the wicked creatures .
Their spirits were already lost . Most of their fighting spirit was exhausted after a day and a half . They moved around the clock and had surpassed their limits . It was a situation where they could barely eat or drink . Just standing deserved praise .
On the surface, I also appeared like I was struggling .
Swiiing!
Kwang!
A huge spear of holy power could be seen from the ground .
‘That’s great . ’
I lightly nodded .
Hashmal . A cold light in those gold eyes that wanted to destroy the enemies .
She finally finished charging .
The second round had no earnestly started .
It was too late by the time the demons realized something was strange . There were less than five thousand creatures remaining and many were advanced grade .
The disputes between the twelve demons stopped .
Hashmal who finished charging was powerful . A much stronger feeling than when I first saw her . There was a tacit agreement among the demons for a truce .
But it was too late .
Until now, they just viewed it as a way to make points . Hunting angels was the best way to gain a large number .
If they were too weak? Crash .
The demons here already knew it to some extent . They panicked and trembled as the attack headed towards them .
Marquis Dellat and Anastasia were also aware of this . They both had a similar number of creatures and were cursing each other . They had been diverted from realizing that Hashmal was the most important thing .
“Bastard!”
“Bitch!”
The two were in a miserable condition as they cursed . Their entire bodies were covered with wounds . Cold, insane eyes . Loose hair that was reminiscent of a ‘madman . ’
Anyway, the division among them had stopped .
All the demons had one common thought .
“This won’t drag out much longer . ”
“The game will end while the sun is still up . ”
A short term battle!
It wasn’t good to drag time out longer .
A clash of power .
As the sun rose higher, the decisive time in the battle was approaching .
