Chapter 423 – 423. Desire Feeds on Blood (6)
– One –
Just before the main forces of the Regal speed up and charge forward,
“…!”
“…! … . . . . .”
Wizards and shamans deployed in the rear memorize spells through joint chanting.
“Apply!”
By order of the commander,
Damn it!
Kkudeudeuk, kudeudeudeuk!
Up to where Monohorn stood, the ground was covered with thick ice.
Because it was an attribute tailored to the season and environment, it was possible to completely cover the fields with ice while consuming less mana.
However, since its surface was smooth, it seemed unsuitable for marching uphill.
But it doesn’t stop there.
“Surface treatment!”
When the commander’s order came,
Shashashashashak!
Wedge love!
Hundreds of thousands of wind blades appear,
Geuggeugguk!
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
Passsss!
The surface of the ice sheet is messed up.
Cracks form, and ice powder flies.
A smooth surface becomes rough.
Soon, the thick ice sheet was transformed into a shape suitable for a large army to advance.
Jeob, jebuck, jebuck, jebuck!
Without slowing down the advance, enemies naturally begin stepping on it.
But as if preparing for the forthcoming assault,
Serung, Serureung.
Knock-knock, knock-knock.
Guggu Guguk.
Take out the weapon or tighten the strap of the armor more tightly.
Even if there is a power-to-power clash, I promise to survive to the end and capture that monster.
Only to fulfill the emperor’s wishes.
Swoop.
Monohorn looks around it.
Unleashes his supernatural ability.
Plant roots grow from under the ground.
Thereafter,
Goong, goo goong!
Rumble!
Vibrations are felt near the surface, more precisely under the ice layer.
“Oh, what!”
“Be careful!”
Dump.
Dump.
Several soldiers fall.
Lie flat on the floor.
As they tense up,
Ugh, eughjijijik!
I look at the floor where the cracks are starting to go, with fearful eyes.
But,
Deuk Deuk.
Titic.
None of the roots can finally penetrate the thick layer of ice.
The traps prepared near the surface had already been exhausted, so Monohorn could not penetrate the ice layer in a short time.
Whoa oh oh
Silence prevails.
Within,
He’s tired!
Long live the Emperor!
Aaaaa!
Cheers erupt from the Regal camp.
“…”
Monohorn is silent.
Glance at enemies who have risen in momentum.
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!
Cheers, Cheers!
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Enemies’ steps gradually increase.
The steps begin to change to leaping.
Looking at it,
See profit.
Monohorn raises the corner of his mouth.
Flash.
Give strength to the eyes.
That moment,
Shureuk, shureuk, shureuk, shureuk!
Shu Shu Shu Shu Shoot!
“100 million?!”
“Uh, what’s that…!”
“It’s magic! He uses magic!”
Countless large wooden balls are created in the air.
They will soon
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Falls down a slope due to gravity.
The fallen balls
Kurr.
Kurung, Kururung.
Damn it!
Start rolling slowly along the ramp.
Not only that,
Woowook, Soowook, Woowook!
That’s right!
Monohorn starts to inflate them even bigger.
The mass they hold also increases accordingly.
They are gradually accelerated by gravity.
Kurrrr!
Kurung, Kururrr!
It starts rolling down with furious momentum.
Towards the Regal forces, down, down.
Because the ground surface has been hardened by the ice sheet, it does not stick to the ground.
It rolls toward the enemy without mercy.
In the blink of an eye,
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Qurrrr
They pick up tremendous speed.
It wasn’t just rolling with gravity alone.
“Keuheuuuuu…!”
The Monohorn was constantly rotating them so that they rolled forward.
Also, in order to make large and hard spheres while consuming a small amount of this ability, fine voids are put into the wood of the spheres to soften their tissues.
It does all of that simultaneously to all the spheres it creates.
Although the consumption of this ability has decreased, I feel that my concentration wears out at a very rapid rate.
But there is no time to relax.
The Cuelvos hadn’t arrived yet, and the enemies were right in front of them.
“Defend it!”
“Wizard! Shaman! Anyone stop that!”
The commanders panic as the spheres roll faster than expected.
Woo-woo, woo-woo!
Kkwajijijijik!
Ice sprouts from the floor.
Creates an ice wall in front of the spheres.
Kwaaang, kwaaang, kwaaaaang!
They collide with the ice wall.
The ice wall bursts.
Blah blah blah!
Woojijikjik!
The sphere splits.
It breaks.
At the same time,
That’s right.
Quarrrr!
They lose kinetic energy.
Kung, kuku kung!
Kujik, kujijik!
The following spheres collide with the stopped sphere in a chain.
Fragments of spheres create mountains.
Entangled with ice
A lot of obstacles appear on the flat advance path.
It was very mentally tough, but Monohorn effectively kept the enemy in check.
With that move, Monohorn stopped the enemies before they even charged.
However, the procession of spheres has not yet stopped,
Kung, Kung, Kuku Kung!
Woojik, Kujijik!
ZZZUZUZU!
The ice wall created by wizards and shamans slowly pushed towards the Regal soldiers.
“Hee-i-ik…!”
“Isn’t this dangerous…?”
Rattling.
The soldiers in the lead begin to tremble in fear.
The ice wall was gradually rising, so if it collapsed, they would not even be able to scream properly and would be crushed to death on the spot.
“Reinforce the ice wall!”
“Step back one hundred paces!”
According to the instructions from the superior, field commanders issue appropriate orders.
According to a fairly standard order,
Jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk.
The soldiers begin to fall back.
But it inevitably causes confusion.
Because the troops were deployed with only the assumption of advancement, the ranks were entangled and the troops were inevitably concentrated.
As if he was aiming for such a situation,
Hehe…”
Looking at it, Monohorn let out a dreary laugh.
He opened his eyes,
“Haaaaa!”
Let out a shout in a loud voice
Carried by the wind, his spirit spread far and wide.
Hearing it,
“Bar, defend!”
“Retreat!”
“Get away from the ice wall!”
The commanders are confused and urgently give orders to retreat.
There was no time to listen to orders from the command center.
It was because he judged that attacks might come pouring out of the sphere.
Exploding projectiles or sprouting spikes from them was a technique Monohorn often used, so their response was appropriate.
“Aaaaa…!”
“Don’t push!”
Tup, Tup!
Jerk, Jerk!
The soldiers hurriedly retreat.
“Aagh!”
“Uh, ugh…!”
Udang-tang-tang!
Quadang!
Falling soldiers appear one after another.
Soldiers scattered on the floor,
“Hee-i-ik…!”
Clack, clap!
Turn your shield to the north.
Giving up on standing up again, he desperately struggles to block the next attack.
There was more room in the back row, but the soldiers in the front row had no choice but to struggle in terrible confusion.
At that time,
– Not the front! Defend the sky from the back, south!
Luxardo’s urgent voice erupted from the communication magic tool.
“…!”
“What?!”
Slap!
Awesome!
The commanders who heard his communication turned around.
To the extent that it feels like the sky has been dyed black,
Wedges, Wedges!
Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!
“Oh, damn it…!”
“Crazy…!”
A huge number of arrows were flying aiming at their backs.
The multi-barreled rocket gun that Monohorn had carefully crafted and cherished again and again aimed at Regal’s forces and finally fired the arrows it had in store.
Unexpectedly, I was punctured, but
“Shields, protect wizards and shamans first!”
“Hold on!”
“If you hold out for a while, the shield will protect our allies!”
Field commanders make the right decisions in seconds.
Thanks to their generosity,
Every single thing!
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Soldiers quickly solidify their defenses.
At the same time,
“…!…”
“…! …! …”
Sorcerers and sorcerers begin to cast spells.
The arrow gradually approaches, but the confusion begins to subside.
The multiple rockets were fired from such a great distance that the arrows fired had no propulsion of their own, giving the Regal’s forces ample time to counter the Monohorn attack.
Gulp.
Purrrr.
Soldiers are tense
Awesome love!
Arrows fly,
Puff puff puff puff!
Kwaji support!
“…!”
It collides with the soldiers’ shields and starts to explode.
Shu Shu Shu Shoot!
Fufufufufu!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Oops…!”
Finely chopped fragments burrow into the bodies of the soldiers.
It wasn’t just the soldiers.
“Right pole…”
“Turn it off…”
Shamans and sorcerers also fell victim to the shrapnel.
When attacked while casting a spell,
Woo woo woo woo!
Boo Woo Woo!
Jijijijijik!
Their bodies begin to swell.
The mana that lingered in their bodies started running out of control without fail.
“Oh my gosh!”
“Stand back from the radius of the mana runaway!”
“Before the damage gets bigger, protect the surviving mages and shamans!”
The commanders gave orders to the soldiers,
Puff, puff, puff!
Chwwwww!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Aaaaa!”
“My, my faaaaal…!”
The bodies of wizards and shamans exploded a little faster.
That moment,
Woo woo woo woo woo!
“Ah…”
“I lived…”
A huge shield covers their heads.
Surprisingly, it seemed that only one person had unfolded it, so no seams could be found.
Titty Titty Tick!
Puff, puff, puff!
Arrows explode helplessly above their heads.
But the fragments do not fall down.
They are perfectly safe.
Swoop.
Commanders look at Monohorn.
Put on a tired expression
“You wicked bastard…”
“You mean you’ve been saving something like that…?”
Stick out your tongue.
In the past, there was a feeling that it was not enough to express the crisis that Monohorn had experienced.
Through so many crises, Monohorn never unleashed this menacing weapon.
Using plants in a variety of ways, they endlessly killed and killed untrained soldiers.
This arrow, presumed to be a consumable weapon, had never been used in the process.
At that time,
“Dae, battalion commander…?”
A soldier who was observing the Monohorn through a telescope opened his mouth shyly.
“Something?”
“That bastard… Is he laughing right now…?”
“What?!”
Slap!
The heads of those who heard the words of the commander and the observers all turned toward Monohorn.
They glared at Monohorn with anger, bewilderment, or wariness.
However, they couldn’t properly look at Monohorn’s expression.
This is because Monohorn was too far away to see with the naked eye.
“Isn’t he cheating on something?!”
“Yes, that’s right! Even though the attack on conversion has failed, I’m just openly relaxing!”
“What…”
The commanders looked at each other with puzzled faces.
Because they didn’t know Monohorn’s intentions, and because he didn’t show any signs, their hearts became more anxious.
“What…?”
“Why are you doing nothing and just laughing…?”
“Is it deception, or is there another ulterior motive…”
Commanders and soldiers continue to struggle.
When they are taking stock of the situation for a moment,
Woojik, Woojijijik!
“100 million…!”
“Hee-ik…!”
Cracks begin to form in the shield someone created.
The archmage, or the defense shield presumed to have been created by the archmage, was only one layer at most.
Moreover, because it spread widely to cover the entire force of the Regal, its durability was at best limited to temporarily blocking attacks.
However, the arrows fired by the multiple rockets rained down ceaselessly like a monsoon rain, so it was impossible to block them all with that level of defense.
“Ughhhhh!”
“Shield shield! Reinforce the shield!”
By order of the commanders,
“…!…!…!…!”
“…!…!…!…!”
Sorcerers and shamans hurriedly cast spells.
Woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo!
Geeeee
Like rags, various protective shields are padded under the thin, widely spread shield.
Titty Titty Titty!
Puff puff puff!
It starts to block arrows stably again.
But it was still too early to be relieved.
Pachang!
Pa-cha-cha-cha-cha-chang!
The rags, no, the gaps where the shield was not patched are destroyed,
Pew pew pew pew pew!
“Cuck!”
“Turn it off…”
“Kkeukhehe…!”
Fragments of arrows rained down towards the soldiers.
Injuries and deaths follow one after another.
At first, the huge shield that opened up, even though the cracks went and partly was damaged, did not disappear and blocked part of the rain of arrows pouring down.
The fact that the barrier remained even after reaching that point gave a glimpse of the greatness of the person who unfolded it.
He must have been a great mage who had reached the pinnacle, or a great sorcerer.
Among humans.
Kkakdeuk, fast deuk!
Hard!
Commanders go for it.
“Kuhh…!”
“Damn…!”
Unable to overcome the frustration, he vents his anger.
Before they fall into a state of helplessness,
– While reinforcing the shield, the infantry in the front row must charge!
“…!”
Orders are issued through Luxardo.
When an incomprehensible order is given, the commanders’ expressions harden.
– Even if you take some damage, you have to subdue him first to end this situation! If you hold on like this, you will only be dragged around by him without limit!
“Ah…!”
Only then do they understand the intentions of the command center.
We understand that the command center may have had to make some rather brutal decisions in order to minimize the damage.
Also, they are reminded again that magicians and shamans have limited mana.
– As soon as possible, no, charge right now! Leave only a few troops to protect the mages and shamans, charge all the rest at full speed!
As Luxardo urged them again,
[Listen to all troops!]
The person in charge of them carries an aura and shouts loudly.
[Shield soldiers adjacent to wizards and shamans, strengthen your defenses!]
Squeak!
Chuck!
The shieldmen obey the order without delay.
[The rest of the entire force,]
Whoop whoop!
He inflates his lungs even more.
Open your eyes.
Woo woo woo!
Crackle!
Passsss.
Stamping his feet,
[Charge towards the front!]
Deliver Luxardo’s orders.
“Turn around!”
“Captivate him!”
“Once we catch him, this war is our victory!”
Commanders encourage soldiers.
“Geuuuuu…!”
“Ugh…!”
In the eyes of the soldiers, a bloody momentum is young.
Rather than fear, it vomits unrefined, wild anger.
Ooh oh oh oh oh!
Kyaaaaagh!
Senior soldiers roar.
The anger of the soldiers intensifies.
Ignoring the formation,
Aaaaagh!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
The soldiers start galloping.
Papa papa papa!
Tup, Tup Tup!
Dig into the cracks in the ice wall that are starting to crumble.
Aura users climb on it.
Soldiers become waves.
Rushing in
Only one person, towards Monohorn.
