Chapter 292 – The Hero’s Despair – 3
“Many monsters ahead!”
Bacchus shouted.
I strained my eyes and looked ahead.
What are those guys It’s big for an orc. A round silhouette against a lumpy ashen skin.
They didn’t stick together and kept their distance at regular intervals, watching us come.
Like a watchtower.
“It’s a messenger. Break through like this!”
Lisa sped up.
The black horse of Neris spurts the ground vigorously and follows.
“Prepare for shock!”
I wasn’t sure what Lisa’s warning meant.
Until the pigs called heralds howled with a gnashing sound.
Ugh! The eardrum seems to be torn. How much did you eat? It seemed to be audible even tens of kilometers away.
Neris runs side by side with Lisa and crosses the line where the messenger is standing.
The crew followed one after another.
Soon, an army of monsters who heard the sound will come rushing in.
That much was easily predictable.
“I’m sure you all know this, but I’ll say it again!”
Lisa exclaimed.
“This is a game against time.
If you get caught by the enemy’s stock, think it’s the end!”
“Yes!”
Did it run for ten minutes?
The first line of the Demon King’s army appeared on the other side.
An army of monsters rewriting the horizon. It seemed like thousands.
Until I saw it myself, I thought ‘thousands’ was a small number.
This is because human war history often deals with the history of tens or hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting.
I thought there was nothing to be afraid of because this side had a thousand heroes.
Literally, until you see it for yourself.
“My lord. Hold on tight.”
Neris sped up.
“Are you thinking of bumping into me?”
“The role of the lancer is fixed.
It is to trample the enemy camp and open the road!”
It seemed that it would be difficult for even Neris to break through that thick wall of flesh.
It gets closer to the group of monsters moment by moment.
Armed with bone armor and weapons, the Nightmareclaws are waiting for an opportunity to kill us.
Crash into the black waves
I felt like I was going to flatten my whole body from the pressure.
I realized when I was almost there that I had forgotten even to breathe and was clinging to Neris’s body.
Let’s take a deep breath.
I’m just not used to this kind of situation.
No need to be scared.
When I straightened my shoulders with bluff and looked ahead, my field of vision widened.
It was so reassuring to know that Neris was by her side.
“Going!”
“I’ll apply too!”
The moment Neris and the Nightmareclaws collide, they support with a fire ball.
I raised my hand and aimed at the target.
It was then.
With a whoosh, a shadow passed over us.
“Seo Yeon-ah…!”
Fast! What’s so fast?
To overtake a dark horse running at full speed without much thought.
I barely understood the reason why Herka said that the only thing to avoid was using protection magic.
Seoyeon seemed to be flying leisurely, but in reality she was flying at a very high speed.
Suddenly, it came out in front of her and flew, and a red light flickered in Seo-yeon’s hand, dyeing the sky red.
“…!”
Neris hurriedly slowed her speech.
“Something’s coming!”
The wind spirit is agitated.
Looking at it, I knew that the flow of the atmosphere had changed.
An explosive magical response is felt around Seoyeon.
The red crystals spreading around flashed rapidly as if they were about to explode, then gathered in Seoyeon’s hand.
The light formed the shape of a spear.
Look like…
That spear was threatening enough to make me think that it resembled Zermina’s authority.
Seoyeon looked like a reaper reigning under the red sky.
“Huh!”
Seoyeon took a deep breath and pulled her arm back.
I intend to throw with all my might. The intention was obvious, but the demons could not stop Seoyeon.
Because she is out of her reach, like a punishing god.
The moment Seoyeon threw down her spear, her red light expanded.
It hit the floor like a comet.
Her whole body shakes It was a huge explosion.
Before she could hold her own, a tidal wave of soil from the explosion covered us.
“Neris!”
I guarded our bodies as wind spirits.
Neris crouched over her and came into my arms.
“Thank you.”
“Oops!”
Suddenly, the dark horse lifted itself and almost fell.
Neris supported me with the strength of her lower body and held me there so I wouldn’t fall.
“Are you okay?”
“What, what is it?”
“The horses were amazed.
It’s truly terrifying magic. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Looking back, the other crew members were also busy trying to soothe the mad horse.
But it seemed like there was nothing to worry about right now.
Because all enemies are dead.
The surviving Nightmareclaws were terrified and lay flat on the ground.
The group of monsters blocking our way disappeared without a trace.
Truly without hesitation.
In front of my eyes, I could see only the drop point of the spear, which was hollow and the bottom was not visible, and the scorched ground as if it were covered with ashes.
Seeing that, Seoyeon laughed happily.
“Uhuhu. Ahahaha!”
“…”
It’s a situation where you should be excited about doing well.
Except for Seoyeon, all of them had serious expressions.
The sight of things that were alive and swarming a while ago turning to ashes in an instant… It wasn’t as pleasant as I thought.
But there is even less reason to feel sorry for them.
“Seo Yeon-ah! Well done!”
“Really?! Hyunwoo oppa. Did I do well?”
Seo-yeon flew around me, excited like a child.
“Still, you have to be careful not to get caught up in others!”
“Yeah~! No matter how many. I’ll kill you no matter how many. Oppa!”
I’ll be fine… ?
Anyway, the obstacles blocking our way have disappeared.
Neris leaned forward and stroked the dark horse’s neck to soothe her.
“Calm down. It’s okay.”
“…”
Looking at the back of Neris, on the contrary, I couldn’t calm down.
“We can depart.”
Lisa nodded and twisted her head.
“Keep going!”
Neris made her horse run.
I clung to Neris’s back so as not to fall.
“Second, here we go!”
When Bacchus shouted, he was puzzled because nothing was visible.
However, when I felt that I could ‘see’ something, they were already rushing in, filling the surroundings with pitch black.
I hoped we wouldn’t meet again.
It’s ‘outrageous filth’.
It is slightly larger than a person in size.
Horrible and gross, worse than cockroaches.
The sight of four-legged mollusks gliding across the floor in groups was hard to bear.
Vicious filth is nimble, and knows no cost to its life.
It was an excellent choice if it was the advance guard that the demon king chose to capture us.
Their purpose is to cling to each other and spit out acid.
As simple and reckless as they were, the larger the number, the more annoying the enemy.
“Gather! If you scatter, you will be isolated!”
At Lisa’s instruction, the gap in the ranks narrowed at once.
The support team followed closely behind us, with Blam and Angel falling to either side.
“Blam, Angel!
Keep your support team. Break through like this!”
“Yes!”
Blam straightened his sword and cut away the vicious filth that jumped right in front of his eyes.
Still, their momentum did not break.
No, he seemed rather excited. The savage filth began throwing all over to knock us off our horses.
We were not shaken at all because no one was out of line and we were attacking as if we were one body.
Are all of them good?
Shall I show my skills too!
“Fire Arrow!”
I created a lot of overcharged fire arrows with the unique skill 〈 Sun Shade 〉,
I just snapped my fingers.
Of course, it is not hypnosis.
They just released dozens of fired arrows all at once.
The red trail moves zigzag and shoots down the jumping monsters.
Even if it couldn’t kill it, it was as simple as dropping it so that it couldn’t follow.
“Thank you! Decal!”
Oia’s face went pale.
I didn’t know because I couldn’t afford it, but the support team was extremely terrified.
Everyone seemed crazy because the mountain-breathing monster jumped up as if it was about to attack them.
Even in the midst of this, only the Marker brothers wielded their weapons freely and fought like they were excited.
“Brother! One is going that way!”
“I get it!”
Marker and Abbet not only easily shake off monsters that throw their bodies,
He even supported other crew members with a wide field of view.
However, despite the performance of the Marker brothers, I was breathless.
There are too many.
No matter how I shake it off, it keeps coming back.
Anyway, I had no choice but to do my best.
“Fire Arrow!”
“Go all the way!”
At that time, along with Herka’s voice, light bullets rained down.
A large number of vicious filth, which had been caught up with countless light bullets, escaped.
“Herka!”
“You haven’t forgotten?
The fact that a genius girl who is good at light magic is with you!”
“Well done!”
Other world creatures are weak to light magic.
The filth that was pierced by Herka’s light bullets immediately lost their power.
Seoyeon continued to reduce the number of monsters by pouring red light bullets as if cutting from the outside so that we would not get caught up in the offensive.
It was fantastic air support.
“I’ll break through soon!”
The dark horse of Neris, riding on momentum, took the lead and cleared the way, pushing away the ferocious filth like a chariot.
Then, as if the horses that followed were stimulated with a competitive spirit, the speed of the guerrilla army’s advance rose dramatically.
Well done. Our clam castle family!
I can easily get over it!
“It’s a ranged attack. Be careful!”
Lisa exclaimed.
Long distance attack? Where?
“Blam. Neris! Protect yourself!”
Undaunted, Neris swung his spear and struck the dagger.
What was it It looked like a bird feather.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Oia’s screams were heard from behind.
“Oia!?”
I looked behind her on behalf of Neris.
Oia cried out with her pale blue face.
“B-Mr. Blam…!”
“What?”
Blam couldn’t stop it?
“Kuk!!”
While Blam was unable to control himself from the shock of his fall,
Vicious filth flocked.
Blam was swinging his sword to cut off the monsters, but there were too many of them, so it seemed that he would soon be overtaken and killed.
Neris pulls the reins.
Then Lisa exclaimed fiercely.
“Don’t delay!”
“But…!”
“I’m coming! I’ll take Blam with me, so you guys go first!”
Lisa is out of line.
Blam, who was fighting alone, shouted.
“Lisa, just go!”
“Blam!?”
“Operation comes first!
If you get caught here, it’s over. Enemy support will continue to pour in!”
Blam was talking about letting go of the fallen self.
If I turn my head now, I have no choice but to fight.
The success of the operation depended on Lisa’s decision.
If you prioritize the operation, all you have to do is run on the path Seoyeon and Herka opened.
But Blam dies.
There was a high possibility that the entire guerrilla group would be in danger if they went to rescue Blam.
A fleeting moment when fate is divided.
It felt like time passed slowly due to extreme tension.
At that time, something strangely bothered me, so I couldn’t take my eyes off Blam.
Why couldn’t you stop it?
Didn’t Lisa even warn you in advance?
There was no way Blam couldn’t block what Neris also blocked.
Unless you’ve lost your eye or been thinking about something else.
I remembered what had happened this morning there.
Even in a situation where life comes and goes, there is only one thing a man cares about.
Female.
Why did Blam fall off the horse after an obvious attack?
The moment you think of the answer to your question.
My body was already moving.
“Neris! Come back with the guerrillas! I’ll be there first.”
“Master!?”
With the help of the spirit, I stood upright on top of the dark horse.
Lisa had already turned her head and was on her way to rescue Blam.
Lisa would have known that.
“I’m not going to let you die here. Blam!”
“Lisa…! Leave me alone!”
Funny enough, Lisa and I seemed to be thinking the same thing at the same time.
Save blam
I had no choice but to give everyone instructions in place of Lisa.
“Seo Yeon-ah!”
“I’m listening. Brother!”
“Goal change! Exterminate these monsters.
If you do well, I’ll hug you tight!”
“…”
Seoyeon took out a small head.
Red light emanates from her only wing.
Seoyeon went down herself and began to slaughter her vicious filth.
I prepared to go to Blam’s side.
Isti’s unique skill, 〈 Space Leap 〉.
You can get there in no time… !
It reminds me of the time I practiced with Karen at the Eight Color Shell Castle.
Establish take-off and landing points.
The action was as quick as the flick of a finger.
