Chapter 236 – 54. Imoogi. (3)
As planned, the Imoogi fell into the pit. The tail was still sticking out a little, but I didn’t think it would be a big problem.
“Attack!”
As soon as Allen gave the order to attack, wizards and archers began pouring magic and arrows at the Imoogi that fell into the pit. The one with an ax or club attacked the protruding tail.
In particular, Mage Elena, who sucked, fired the maximum amount of mana bullets she could produce at the struggling Imoogi. Even though it had a much harder shell than common monsters, even the Imoogi couldn’t do much with such a concentrated attack.
The monster tried to get out of the pit somehow, but it was deeper than expected, and it was not easy to climb because the pit was concave on the inside.
“Is the fire still?!”
“I am ready!”
“If you’re done, light the fire right away!”
Campfire Asmond and the workers lit an oil jar and tossed it into the pit. The oiled firewood and fallen leaves that had been laid under the pit in advance burned up in an instant.
ㅡㅡ!!
Part of the soil at the entrance collapsed because the Imoogi struggled so hard. However, every time it tried to rise, the sucker master stopped it by hitting manatan on its head.
The serpent was powerless against the powerful firepower of the seven wizards. Traps, recessed like jars, were particularly effective against snakes. Unless you have wings, it won’t be easy to escape.
The Imoogi’s shell was burned and torn by magic. The giant snake’s struggles became more and more frequent.
It beeped, beeped, and made a creepy whistle-like sound. … Could it be that he foresaw his end?
Its movement soon ceased. The fire in the pit soon devoured the giant snake’s entire body. The smell of burning flesh stung the mercenaries’ noses mercilessly.
… It’s over…
Just then, Rick the Lucky One hurried over to Allen. … It sounds like you heard something.
“Sweet Lord! Not yet, not yet!”
“… What?”
Just as Rick was about to say something, he felt something like a huge vibration from the soles of his feet. With the sound of wood breaking… , Something was coming here.
Something incredibly huge.
“This guy is new! A dead calf called my mother!”
… Ah…
Without a moment to be surprised, a snake bigger than the dead Imoogi jumped out from between the trees. It approached its burning calf and began to bleep-beep-beep.
Allen immediately came to his senses and opened fire at the mercenaries standing in a daze.
“Hey kids! Are you out of your mind?! Prepare for battle!”
The unexpected happened, but I wasn’t completely unprepared. In case the Imoogi didn’t fall into the trap, he had a plan to fight back.
“Spread!”
Crowded formations were not effective against such a gigantic monster. So, Allen gave the order to disperse, and the mercenaries dispersed to their respective positions as they had trained in advance.
“Don’t panic! It’s just a big monster anyway!”
Carelessness was prohibited, but excessive tension was also a problem. Then, when you have to make an appropriate decision, your head and body will freeze.
And no matter what it is called a spiritual creature, the Imoogi is also a being that does not escape the category of monster. Furthermore, aren’t the mercenaries also veteran hunters who have been catching monsters for over half a year? … It was worth fighting for.
Allen made up his mind to give the Imoogi a shout at the sky first.
“Shoot the magic! Keep the rest of your distance so you don’t get caught in his attack! Don’t approach me recklessly!”
The wizards gathered mana again and fired magic at him. However, the mother, who had a harder shell than the baby Imoogi, was much more resistant to magic. In addition, he is not confined to one place, but in a free state. Of course, there’s no way he’s just getting hit with magic.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The Imoogi slammed its head at the mercenaries. The mercenaries threw themselves at considerable speed and narrowly avoided the attack. Anything that touched its snout was a huge tree or a rock.
Fuck… !
After the attack, the mercenaries, aiming for an opening, took a shot at his shell with axes and swords, but it didn’t seem to be a very effective hit.
There were several battles with each other, and it was definitely a group of mercenaries who accumulated damage.
And just then, when I thought I needed to make a decision.
Natasha stepped forward.
Since meeting Sword Emperor Magnus half a year ago in the capital, she has grown to a higher level, and unintentionally got a chance to make full use of her abilities.
… Can I ring… ?
The ancient dragon Rensiros had failed. Because its outer skin was hard enough beyond imagination.
Then what if it became a dragon, but what if it was an imoogi? If you can’t even cut him after all this hard work… , Wouldn’t it mean that swordsmanship can’t surpass magic after all?
But there was no time to think long. Natasha was already running towards him.
Cut
Now that’s all I can think of.
She moved like lightning. There were very few people who could perceive her movements even faintly.
Cut
Must.
The sword that fell like lightning touched the shell of the Imoogi.
The sword, which had vainly bounced off the Ancient Dragon’s skin, finally split the Imoogi’s skin.
I split the black skin and cut the flesh.
Natasha wasn’t done with one swing. In the blink of an eye, there were as many as five cuts.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The Imoogi struggled in pain for a moment. The mercenaries caught up in it fell out after being hit by the body or tail. The impact was so strong that bones were broken and flesh burst.
– Seebaaar-.
In an instant, the mercenaries who became incapacitated screamed in pain. Truly a hell of abjection.
Natasha’s sword definitely worked, but it wasn’t easy to lead to a fatal wound due to her body being so large.
The wounded Imoogi’s attacks became even more brutal. Then, one of the mercenaries was stamped on the snout and the whole torso was completely crushed.
First fatality.
However, there was no time to collect the body right now. I had to kill him before the damage got any bigger.
The magician shot several times, but because it was not concentrated in one place, the blows were effective but did not have a great effect. … It would be better for Natasha to directly attack her weakness.
After thinking about it, she finally used summoning magic. … It is to bring the branches of the World Tree in Vermandois to this place.
This trump card was the last resort prepared by Allen and Elena. I hoped not to take it out as much as possible, but… , It was not easy.
Still, as a last resort, the effect was certain.
It’s still a young individual, but there’s no way that the world tree that tied the ancient dragon that became a demon wouldn’t be able to handle the useless serpent.
Of course, this would cause quite a bit of damage to the World Tree, but there was no special option for now. In order not to harm my comrades anymore, I have no choice but to borrow the power of the World Tree—-.
Space is open.
Hundreds of branches shot out from there.
ㅡ!
Of course, the Imoogi did not entrust itself to the branches of the World Tree. He struggled wildly against the World Tree that was trying to capture him. The branches were torn off countless times in the struggle, but after repeated attempts, the World Tree eventually succeeded in tying the Imoogi tightly.
However, he couldn’t burn the Imoogi like this. No matter how much he wanted to minimize the damage, Allen had no intention of sacrificing the World Tree in this situation.
The mercenaries came forward and shot the imprisoned Imoogi with their weapons, but it was hard to see any noticeable effect. Before that, the World Tree could not stand it and seemed to fall off first. If the World Tree also suffered more damage than this, he had the potential to be permanently damaged.
At that time, Natasha went to the head of the Imoogi.
A headbutt could seriously injure her, but she wasn’t scared at all.
She stanced, staring at him with her emotionless eyes.
Enraged, the serpent violently shook its head, tore off the bound branch, and opened its snout. To swallow this cheeky human in one bite.
… Then, Natasha’s sword drew a straight line obliquely into the sky.
A perfectly straight line, without the slightest wobbling.
If someone who had enemies in swordsmanship saw it, it was a blow that would make them feel in awe beyond admiration.
Agnes Neptune surely saw.
The rank of the Sword Emperor.
The realm she always dreamed of.
Natasha, her comrade and competitor at the same time.
She did it
Ah.
Following admiration… , I also got a little bit jealous.
With that tiny body,
At a young age,
How the hell
No why
The snout of the Imoogi, which had been wide open to devour humans, split along the line drawn by the sword.
But Natasha didn’t stop there.
Because he’s not dead yet.
… It was a bit shallow.
Deeper.
Stronger.
Natasha gently drew her sword, which had been raised above her, as it was.
And then, the flash of light flashes again.
This was an attack that was so fast and strong that even Agnes barely felt it.
“… Excellent…”
Upon witnessing it, Lord Murloc burst into pure admiration as a warrior.
Natasha’s sword split the Imoogi’s skull and brain.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
No matter how imoogi, there was no way to survive even though the brain was split.
It shuddered loudly once, and soon fell limp with a forked tongue.
The World Tree, which had tightly bound the Imoogi’s body, slowly untied and was sucked into the open space, disappearing from sight. Only the branches of the world tree that had been ripped off by the Imoogi’s struggle remained innumerable around them.
– Heo, heo, heo.
– Healer Healer!
– Searching for people here, you fucker!
– I have no feeling in my legs!
However, there is no cheer at the place where the Imoogi fell,
Only screams and screams went back and forth for a long time.
