Chapter 219 – A Bloody Funeral
From the crack, other demons came out, led by the imp. Each of them was a demon with a unique appearance, but what they all had in common was that they were far from humans.
The first imp to appear has red scales, small wings, and horns. The Lizardman that came out after that is a large lizard that walks on two legs. There is even a large pig that walks on two legs.
“Hmm~ Haa~”
The imp inhaled air.
“Hey, the air here is really nice, isn’t it?! It cannot be compared to the demon world!”
Devildom.
A dry land of death where even a single blade of grass cannot grow.
Compared to that hot and poisonous air, the air of Middle-earth was no better than the air of heaven.
“I know. Now I understand why the superiors miss Middle-earth. If you taste this air and enter the Demon Realm, you will go crazy.”
The Lizardman laughed and replied.
The demons who tasted Middle-earth for the first time were excited. That’s also true, because for the newly born low-ranking demons, the middle world was only a story that had been passed down.
So they made one mistake.
“There must be many delicious things, right?”
“I heard that there are many wonderful scenery. Let’s have a lot of fun… Haha!”
They were talking excitedly in front of the enemy.
An arrow pierced the forehead of the lizard man who was smiling brightly with his arms wide open. The Lizardman collapsed backwards with a smile on his face.
“Kiyik?!”
At the signal of surprise from the imp next to them, the members of the adventure team each raised their weapons and charged.
The reason I came armed to attend the funeral was simple.
It was because of the request of his subordinates that Varian would prefer to be armed and participate as a warrior.
For the adventurers, it was a bit annoying to have to walk around armed even in the city, but now it helped.
“Red Shield Group protects Siegfried-sama’s back!”
“Morning Star Group digs into the left side!”
“Lunatic-Hai stopped! Escort me I apply with magic!”
Leading by the silver rating, each group quickly took their place. In a battle between groups, you can eat and enter advantageously with only one location selection.
So now, the adventure team that hit the player was in an advantageous situation.
‘I wanted to hear a bit more of the damn thing.’
As the members of the adventure crew settled down, Yoosung sighed.
Information he did not know was pouring out of the mouths of the demons.
I tried to quietly eavesdrop, but Siegfried started a fight.
‘That’s the right decision, but…’
To regret is to regret.
As the meteor licked his lips again, Seris put a hand on his shoulder.
“What shall we do?”
Her eyes were red.
This is because the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art was raised from the moment the demons popped out. With her calm mind, she waited for the meteor’s instructions.
“What? Unlike other parties, there are only three of us. The two of you get into a fight and stick around. And Kara.”
Kara, who made an expression as if she would jump into the battlefield at any moment at the meteor’s call, turned her head.
“Huh?”
“Don’t rush into it alone, stay with Seris unconditionally. Got it?”
“Huh. Huh. Okay. Now…”
Kara frowned and Yoosung sighed and nodded his head.
“Okay. Go see.”
“Oh yea!”
Kara ran out to the battlefield with excitement like a child going to an amusement park.
“I told you not to go alone… I’ll go first. Take care of yourself too.”
Seris ran after Kara.
Yooseong looked at the two for a while, then turned his gaze to the battlefield.
The imp shoots fire from its mouth and the burnt adventurer rolls on the floor. The nun ran and extinguished the fire with the divine and healed her adventurer, and the imp tried to stab her in the back with her spear.
Kwakwang.
The throwback was blocked by the imp being roasted by lightning that flew from somewhere.
Next to him, a large pig demon didn’t care if his stomach was cut or not, he picked up an adventurer and swallowed it in one bite.
When Siegfried ran and hit the pig demon’s face hard, the pig’s demon’s head separated from its body and flew off, then crashed into the wall.
The adventurer who had been swallowed earlier escaped into the bloody throat.
“This is true.”
It’s a bitch.
Yoosung laughed and ran to the middle of the battlefield where demons and adventurers were intertwined. He drew his dagger and cut a cross on the face of the first demon he saw.
The strength and elasticity of a body enhanced with mana is different from that of an ordinary human.
His dagger pierced even the hard scales of the Lizardmen, leaving scars along with his pupils.
“Keah!”
Lizardman let out a painful moan and grabbed his face. If I really wanted to live, I shouldn’t have. It’s like giving the enemy an opening.
The meteor’s dagger pierced the Lizardman’s temple.
After kicking the lizardman who was about to fall down and pulling out the dagger, Yooseong inspected the blade of the dagger.
“Tsk, everything is ruined.”
Maybe it was because he pierced the lizardman’s scales earlier, but the blades were all broken. That’s why it’s not a standard weapon. Even if you use it a little harshly, it will break easily. This is why adventurers and knights turn their eyes to good weapons.
No matter how good your skills and skills are, if your weapon doesn’t work, isn’t there no answer?
‘I hope Marlton makes it properly.’
If Marlton managed to smelt the metal properly, he intended to take the other elven armor he had stocked up and make them into weapons.
‘I’ll think about that later.’
Yoosung erased his thoughts as he drew out a new dagger.
I dodged the black imp’s spear blade descending vertically and pierced my heart from the back.
“Kihehehehe!”
I took the imp’s spear and threw it to the right. The spear that flew quickly pierced the back of the head of the troll that was trying to crush the adventurer with force.
A troll tumbles forward.
Before the adventurer could send his thanks, he moved.
You must not stand still.
Swift movement was the best weapon he had.
He threw two daggers. The two daggers flew by and were pierced into the chest and head of the demon and the blue imp, respectively.
As he gathers magic in his hand, the dagger he threw returns to his grasp.
The Tang family’s technique of retrieving memorized words.
Yooseong put the two recovered daggers in the back of another troll and turned them around in a circle.
When I kicked it with my foot, a flat, cylinder-shaped mass of flesh fell off. The troll dripped his intestines and died in agony.
Yooseong didn’t care about the dying troll and moved to find the next opponent.
“…Amazing…”
The adventurer who was dealing with the troll that Meteor had just killed muttered.
His name is Creed.
As an adventurer of the same rank, he acted as an adventurer 4 years before Meteor.
He snorted when he first heard that Yooseong had become silver.
What kind of silver grade is a kid who has been an adventurer for less than a year? He said that even if he had the skills, he would have an absurd lack of experience.
He was bravado, but the emotion in his tone was unmistakable jealousy.
That jealousy turned into awe right now.
The sight of him slowly and surely killing his demons one by one as he quickly ran around the battlefield was to the point of feeling astounding.
A silver grade is indeed a silver grade. He felt that way
On the other hand, Yoosung focused on the crack while dealing with his demons. Demons continued to pour from the purple rift. Like endless waves of games.
‘Isn’t this going to be endless?’
Even so, I didn’t worry or worry too much.
Yoosung turned his gaze toward Siegfried this time. As an adventure captain and a gold rank, he was showing a dignity worthy of him.
“Wow!”
No special swordsmanship or magic, just punches.
Just that alone made the demon’s body explode. Siegfried swept the demons without using a weapon worn around his waist.
Wouldn’t it be weirder to lose when there’s a person like that?
Yuseong decided to focus on fighting again.
Just then, Yoosung felt an eerie sensation. He turned his head to where he felt the eerie sensation. Something was flying fast this way.
Yooseong activated the wolf’s oath and narrowed his eyes.
The shape of the flying person is clearly visible.
“…Allen?”
What’s that bitch
You say you’re not coming, why are you coming now?
What about the wings on his back and the horn on his forehead? That’s like…
“Behind the captain!”
Yoosung shouted loudly. Just in case…
And such meteor concerns became a reality. Allen raised her sword and flew swiftly at Siegfried.
A surprise stab.
Siegfried held the blade with his hand and lightly blocked it. He looked at Allen, who had ambushed him, and narrowed her eyes.
“What is that look? And what can I interpret this to mean?”
“You can think of it as you see it.”
Allen let go of the sword held by Siegfried. He flew up into the sky and floated right in front of the rift where demons poured out.
It made it seem like he was the one responsible for all of this.
“Hey! Allen! What are you doing?! What are you standing there for?!”
Orca screamed. At that, Allen looked at her and smiled at her.
“Can’t you see? All the smart ones are dead.”
“…Could it be that you are the culprit behind this situation?”
“If so?”
“Are you serious right now?”
Watching Allen speak confidently, Orca clenched her fists.
She couldn’t understand the situation now.
It is Allen who has always been favored by her father, Siegfried. She was also popular with other adventurers.
So why did he betray the adventure party and plot something like this?
“Do not be ridiculous! It’s not someone else, so why are you doing something like this?!”
I didn’t want to understand again.
Having stolen his father’s favor, he was Orca’s greatest rival. He hated him, but at the same time recognized his skills.
But such a rival, a rival she acknowledged to some extent, was a betrayal.
She didn’t even get angry at the absurd situation. She is just dazed.
Allen, on the other hand, looked at Orca with her cold eyes.
“Yes, your kind will not understand me even if it takes a lifetime. If you work hard, you can achieve anything you want.”
“What? What does that mean…”
“In this castle, I installed the same three jewels that were here.”
At that moment, the atmosphere turned cold.
All the eyes of the silver ranks who were killing the demons were focused on him. Allen continued her words with a smile as if enjoying the gaze.
“It’s not as big or as blatant as the jewels here. It will be activated soon. The peaceful Kalita is invaded by violent demons. How is it? Do you feel the seriousness of the situation now?”
“Allen… You…”
A strong electric current rises around Orca. The current was strong enough to avoid even the adventurers escorting it.
She was angry
To her former colleague and rival who betrayed her adventure squad and tried to get her into trouble again.
No, they are not colleagues or rivals anymore.
She’s just an enemy that needs to be killed as quickly as possible.
Orca spread her hands.
There is no need for tricks or fights.
Allen thought she would erase her from this world.
“Everybody stop fighting!”
Orca’s actions were stopped by Siegfried’s cry.
Siegfried wasn’t looking at her. She looked at Allen and ordered the entire squadron of her adventure.
“From now on, all adventurers will search for Kalita and destroy the purple jewel. The control and command of the adventurers is in charge of each party’s silver rank.”
The adventurers were taken aback by Siegfried’s sudden order.
If we leave, what about the demons here right now?
“I will sort this out myself. So don’t worry and follow orders. Cohen! You go to the castle and report the current situation.”
Cohen and the other silver ranks nodded at Siegfried’s serious expression. The adventurers retreated without breaking their formation.
“Ki-hehe, where are you going!”
However, the demons had no intention of letting the adventurers go. I intended to kill them all and complete the mission.
Siegfried kicked the large pillar supporting the building with his foot. The base of the column is broken and collapses powerlessly. He grabbed the pole and swung it hard.
Whoops.
Strong porosity.
The large swinging pillar hit the demons who were chasing the adventurers. The hard demons flew away after being hit, and the soft ones exploded the moment they were hit.
Thanks to this, the adventurers were able to escape the battle safely.
Each of the silver ranks left the building with their surviving party members. The priest and nun also followed in their footsteps.
Among them, Orca was the last to leave the building, and looked back and shouted before leaving.
“Dad! Be careful!”
Then he turned around and started running.
Hearing Orca’s worried voice, Siegfried widened her eyes and smiled.
“Do you think it’s funny that she worries about her? Well, if it’s your level, it’s worth it.”
“Noisy.”
Siegfried set the pole he had held onto the floor vertically. Cooong. Just that alone made the building shake a little. He said while looking at Allen and her group of demons.
“From now on, no one can pass through here.”
