Chapter 99 – 23. The Spirit World. (4)
With Allen Danju at the center, the four mercenaries moved swiftly.
As soon as they left the cathedral, they took formation and advanced as promised. … The fog was still thick, as if walking in a dream.
The group of mercenaries did not utter a single squeak, and only breathed heavily. Corey, a newcomer who had only cut through the insignificant thief bastard at most, felt a considerable burden in this mission, which suddenly jumped in difficulty. … Of course, I didn’t see the ugliness of being startled like a girl who had never held a blade.
As the saintess of a pink slut approached her inner self, she felt this eerie aura grow more powerful. Besides, she now seeped through her evil aura.
“Danju, it seems that the door is in the inner palace.”
With that word of Oud Noon, Allen grasped the general flow of her situation. For some reason, the baron opened the door to the spirit world, and whether it was accidental or intentional, the door was left open.
…… This idiot wizard knows that this is the Mage Tower…… !
Even if the experiment failed in the Mage Tower, there were a bunch of wizards who would take care of it, but there was no way that such a high-class manpower could exist in such a small rural town. Or maybe she knew she wouldn’t fail.
… And at some point, the mercenaries began to hear something like a creepy whisper. It is the whisper of a soul wandering in the spirit world. The content was brutal.
– I will take your body and tear it to pieces.
– Die, die, die!
Unconditional hostility and anger toward living things. It was different from the seductive whispers heard in the sirens’ songs. … Isn’t this the original malice of human beings?
Occasionally, Allen would be taken aback when a dark fleshy intent touched her skin as if licking it with her tongue. It is said that he has now taken off his timid mask and become quite strong-hearted, but that doesn’t mean that her surprise has disappeared.
“Aw fuck, surprise me!”
Even the furry Geese, who was afraid of ghosts, shuddered in surprise wheneverheheard whispers and intent to kill. Even if they weren’t too afraid of ghosts, the feelings of the crew were similar to those of furries.
Fortunately, the dead did not come out for a while after leaving the cathedral. … However, from the moment I began to feel a strong murderous intent on my skin, a faint, shrieking scream suddenly attacked me.
“What a fucking dog!”
A startled mercenary screamed and reflexively swung his club. The pale gray dead fell apart pouring ashes like the snow of a beaten snowman, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“This fucker, I was so fucking surprised… !”
It was as if the dead had suddenly popped out in front of me. Anyone in that situation would have no choice but to react that way.
After the appearance of the first dead, the dead who looked like they were alive began to appear all of a sudden, regardless of time and place. There were even times when it fell from the top of my head. Then the mercenaries had to cover themselves with the ashes of the deceased. … Of course, it disappears again without a trace, but I can’t help but feel bad about it.
It’s not very strong, but it came out so suddenly that I had to pay close attention.
… And then, when I got pretty close to tolerance.
Suddenly, a group of dead men started pouring in from the front. Even if you pretend, it’s enough to be dozens.
The Patong Master, who had been preparing in advance, said, “I’ve been waiting for this moment.” Then, the dead explode with an explosion.
However, perhaps because of the fog, the explosion was less extensive than expected. … Still, about a third of them disappeared in an instant.
Just as the mercenaries were wielding their weapons almost randomly and destroying the dead again and again, something black and huge appeared silently in the direction from which the horde came running.
The spiritual body, which looked like a reaper, waved a black cloak like pitch black, holding a huge scythe in its left hand and a large gray hilt in its right hand.
The terrifying and overwhelming majesty made the mercenary group dumbfounded for a moment. As you can see, he’s no mere idiot.
Andontra. Also known as the Soul Collector.
Inhabiting the spirit world, it is a monster that preys on souls wandering aimlessly. Of course, living people also attack and collect their souls.
Before Andontra could wield her great scythe, Elena’s elemental magic flew and slammed into her body.
ㅡㅡ!!
Gray powder flowed from the exploding cloak. However, the bastard swung his scythe as if he was not suffering at all.
I tried to block the attack by erecting a large shield in the first row, but the force was so strong that I couldn’t stand it completely.
In the end, both Kalisman and Gis, who received the attack, fell to the ground and the line collapsed. Still, it was important to somehow block that one shot. Then you have a chance to counterattack.
Archer Georg soaked the arrowhead with plenty of holy water and pulled the string, aiming right after the monster attacked and pinged it toward the head.
The arrow of holy water that flew like a beam of light hit the head exactly.
It exploded and tried to regenerate again. Allen yelled at him to attack before he could be restored.
The gum milk inspector and the blind woman in the second row were the first to move quickly. As they attacked each arm with a weapon and a hilt, the trainee Viktor and the youngest god Cory followed and swung their weapons at their torsos. The moment the staggering Andontra fell backwards, the weapon pounded his body more closely.
Only then did the monster gradually turn into black ash and disperse. The speed was not very fast, but the destructive power was overwhelming. Even a thick shield could leave deep scratches from a scythe with just one hit.
… Normally, it is normal to take a short break after a battle, but Allen did not. Even so, while the Allen-Mercenary Corps was fighting Andontra, the other Mercenary Corps were busy dealing with countless dead people. And even at this moment, the dead are constantly attacking.
“Keep moving forward. Let’s hurry up!”
– Die die!
– Ah ah ah ah ah!
– Give it to me, give it to me!
If I dealt with each one of them one by one, I was going to spend the night just like this, and it was likely that I would have to go through the resistance all at once without stopping at a little quick pace.
Allen Danju gathered all the remaining three mercenaries and changed his formation into a cone shape. If you do this, there is a weakness that makes the back a little weak, but if you don’t stop anyway, you don’t have to worry about the back.
It’s not to the level of a powerful collision while riding a horse, but still, if a powerful mercenary with a massive body slams the body powerfully with a shield, the weak dead will be wiped out at once. … As expected, the problem is Andontra, but when it appears, you can push the three mercenaries back and quickly change your formation.
“I will charge until I tell you to stop!!”
Allen Danju screamed so loud that blood ran down his throat. And a group of mercenaries who were advancing like light leaps.
Even though they hadn’t eaten much, they were constantly moving around, and the mercenaries’ mouths were already full of rough breath. … What can I do though? Since everyone’s lives were at stake, there was no time to look after anyone’s circumstances. It’s not really a joke, it’s a situation where you have to squeeze even the strength you’ve been sucking on.
After moving for quite some time, the group finally faced the inner wall. Perhaps because it was close to the gate of the spirit world, the number of dead was staggering. In addition, the situation where the soul collector and Andontra linger.
Anyway, the inner door was open. If Andontra’s feet were tied for a moment, it seemed that he would be able to enter the inner world at once.
Allen called the sucker and another wizard.
“You two only attack him. Don’t mind the other guys Just don’t let him get close! … Can you do it while moving?”
He was approaching with a leaping step, so he was already close to him. Of course he didn’t have time to answer. He’ll have to try somehow.
The two wizards chanted the most powerful magic they could. Andontra came close. He picked up a scythe and tried to swing it.
At the same time, two magics flew through the body of the beast. The sucker’s was hit right through the body, and the other’s was hit on his left shoulder.
At that moment, there was a brief gap.
When the mercenaries near Andontra got scared and flinched and slowed down, Allen let out a cursed scream.
“Hey fuck, when did I tell you to stop——–!!!”
Then they let out a scream and ran a little faster to straighten the messy formation again.
Andontra restored again. As the bastard tried to swing her scythe in anger, the blind saintess under Allen’s direction leaped like a ray of light and slammed her fist into the soul collector’s face.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
Andontra staggered back with that one shot. Fortunately, the group stepped on the fallen man and passed safely.
In general, Allen doesn’t prefer to break away from formation, but this time there was no other way. After Saint a pink slut left for a short time, the back was empty, but this time, Archer Georg took the place of Odd Nun. The dead were reduced to ashes by the bow that they swung like a club.
The group of mercenaries passed through the dead who rushed at them fearlessly and ignorantly, and finally entered the castle. Of course, just because it was inside didn’t mean there were no dead or anything like that. … However, it suddenly decreased noticeably. It’s as if the guys are a bit reluctant to come here.
Only then did the group slow him down a bit and barely catch his breath. It was still smashing the crap of the dead who constantly attacked, but it was much more spacious than the inside.
…… However, the bloody aura that pierced his back the moment he entered became so intense that even the insensitive Allen could clearly feel it.
I’m pretty sure there is something here.
The gate of the spirit world.
It was time to put that fucking soul business out of business.
