Chapter 179 – Chapter 46. A Four-Man Death Squad.
The life-like sun has set, and the night of demons has come.
The soldiers lined up on the walls trembled with fear at the thought of the demons lurking far away in the darkness. As the air cooled down, so did the soldiers’ bodies.
The warrior team also rolled their feet and stared into the darkness. It was as if they could hear the wild, gasping breath of a demon.
Half of the soldiers were waiting at the eastern and western main gates, respectively, and the other half were closely attached to the top of the wall.
Jihyeok walked through the soldiers on the wall and encouraged him not to lose his courage. The righteous warrior’s warm encouragement became a force that could not be ignored.
It was overcast and the moonlight was dim. The previously narrow field of view was even more limited.
Ji-hyeok, who had been waiting for the demon king’s army to come, felt something strange start to stir. Sensitive senses captured the movement of the demon army.
Now, it comes.
Jihyeok put his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and made a wind noise. Ganesha, who was far away, heard the sound and looked at Jihyeok. He pointed his finger into the darkness. It was a sign that it was coming.
Ah.
Yayel also felt the tremendous demonic energy slowly approaching. The saliva went down the drain. This fear was not the kind that goes away with more experience. It was a fear that instinctively rises from the base of human beings.
Sensitive wizards first sensed the Magi slowly approaching and gave them a signal. Soon, a large man with a large horn took in his breath and blew loudly.
– Boo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo
“Everyone ready for battle!!”
Princess Ganesha shouted so loudly. Jihyeok also shouted.
“Prepare it!”
The archers waited for the signal to draw their arrows.
Just then, the clouds that blocked the moonlight lifted slightly. As my blocked vision opened, I saw something like a swarm of black ants wriggling over the field. Everyone was stunned by the number.
“This fuck…”
Gide, who saw that, cursed a little. Right now, that was the word that represented everyone’s feelings. Jihyeok took a last look at his teammates and spoke seriously.
“If each of us does our part well, we can defeat them. Kayak! If I’m not there, you order. Understand?”
“Yes, chief.”
The Lizardman Kayak made a firm commitment to faithfully fulfill the captain’s position, which will later become vacant.
It was the ghouls that filled the ground black. It seemed that the corpses from cities and villages were to be set up as arrowheads first. After that, the army of crows and the army of demons followed closely.
Arrow attacks were a waste to the ghouls anyway. Jihyeok told Yayel to prepare the magic. All the wizards on the wall began chanting magic.
Yayel cast high-level fire magic. Mana swirled around her. The soldiers were surprised to see a huge ball of fire gradually appearing in the air.
“Attack!”
Yayel’s fire magic flew away. Using that as a signal, other magics began to explode on the ghouls.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The magic caused a huge explosion and wiped out the ghouls in droves. If the demon lord Pyros had made up his mind, it would have been a magic that could have been blocked, but if he didn’t, it would mean that the ghouls against the demon lord are not worth putting up a shield against.
In any case, the group of ghouls died en masse from the constant pouring of magic. However, because there were so many of them, it was too inefficient to kill them all. Aren’t there still a lot more difficult beings to deal with right after that?
“Yayel, save your mana. Remember that if you fall, you will be in big trouble.”
In such a large-scale war, one outstanding mage could be worth hundreds of soldiers.
The closer the demon army came, the thicker the magic in the air. Jihyeok called Rosalia by name. She took one deep breath and applied the buff. Then Magi couldn’t get any closer to them and the soldiers.
“You have to keep it as long as possible. Gide, Zepopo! Protect these three no matter what.”
“Yes, Captain—!”
Jihyeok called Gide and Jepopo and ordered them to protect Yayel, Grace, and Rosalia. The two nodded in agreement with solemn expressions.
Before long, magic began to fly from the enemies. The wizards spread a protective shield. The magic hit the translucent shield and caused a strong explosion. The protective shield was cracked on the left side and then restored again. The soldiers who saw it swallowed dry saliva.
The army of crows walked with large shields at the fore. Arrow attacks were unlikely to work. Still, I can’t do anything and wait.
“Archers ready!”
Jihyeok exclaimed. The archers tied arrows to the string.
“Balsaaaaa!!”
Hundreds of arrows pinged and flew away. It drew a very large parabola and was stuck in the middle of the enemy camp. Fortunately, the arrow penetrated through the sparse shield and pierced the body of the crow soldier.
Now, arrows and magic poured down from the top of the castle wall in earnest. Demon King Pyros blocked the magic falling on the crow army and the demon army with a shield. It seemed that the purpose was to maintain their power as much as possible until they reached the wall.
After the ghouls were nearly cut in half, the Demon King’s army reached the edge of the castle wall. Jihyeok shouted to prepare oil. Two by two, the giant soldiers held a pot. It was full of boiling oil.
At that time, there was something rising into the sky from the Demon King’s army. It was a huge winged monster. That was a whopping fifteen.
“Don’t let them get close-!”
Jihyeok tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword. The key was to deal with these guys as quickly as possible.
While being distracted by them, the Demon King’s army steadily narrowed the distance from the castle wall. The investigation team and the army were busy attacking the enemies to the point of really going crazy. The soldiers waiting behind the gates trembled with anxiety as they heard the commotion on the walls.
The monsters that had risen into the sky began to fall down the castle wall. Jihyeok called Yael.
“Yayeeel-!”
The protective film was formed in two layers at the same time. It was the power of double casting. The monster descended and crashed into the protective shield. One layer shattered, but the other survived it. Jihyeok grabbed a spear he had prepared in reserve on top of the castle wall and threw it hard. The spear that flew like a beam of light pierced the monster’s head. The body of the dead fell and hit the protective barrier once before falling down the wall.
“Enemies are coming aaaaa!!”
Meanwhile, a group of ghouls had already arrived in front of the gate. They started banging and scratching at the huge iron door.
“Pour the oil!”
Boiling oil dripped down the ramparts. Then, the body of the ghoul attached to the castle wall caught fire. Still, they did not let out a single groan and silently did what they were ordered to do, and were completely burned to death.
After all the ghouls arrived, the army of crows and demons started attaching themselves to the wall. They tossed the hooked line upwards with great force. Then, one by one, they started climbing the wall. Dozens of ladders were also attached.
“Stop it, block it as much as you can!”
At that time, a huge monster in the distance started shooting something into the city with its mouth. They slammed into the building and caused a great shock. What the monster sent was another kind of monster.
The team of warriors on the castle wall, where enemies approached less, moved quickly to deal with the monsters. They kept shooting something inside. Because of the monsters that suddenly fell from the sky, the inside of the city became a violent battle in an instant.
Then, suddenly, I felt a tremendous demonic energy. Ah. Jihyeok noticed at once that it was the dark magic of the demon king. A huge Magitan flew towards the wall. The wizards quickly created a protective shield, but it was impossible to block it with only two or three layers.
Aaaaa!!
When Magitan hit the wall, stone dust scattered and a strong vibration occurred. If we get hit three or four more times like this, it will surely collapse.
However, there were still too many enemies for the 4-member death squad to move. Jihyeok shouted to stop the magic attack and to overlap the shield as much as possible.
Soon, the demons gathered again and a huge magic bullet flew. However, this time, thanks to focusing only on the shield, the power of the magic bullet was greatly reduced. But it couldn’t be completely eliminated.
If you keep flying magic bullets like this, it was only a matter of time before the wall eventually collapsed. Jihyeok was worried. However, he put an end to his worries and acted quickly. Speed was life now.
He immediately ran to Ganesha. And he opened the gates.
“What?!”
“We must attack right now. It’s only a matter of time before the wall collapses anyway. That makes them trickier to block. I’d rather open the castle gate where the soldiers are and lure the enemies inside as much as possible.”
Ah.
Only then did Ganesha realize Ji-hyeok’s intention. … Well, looking at the power of the Demon King’s magic bullet, it seemed unlikely that the castle wall would last long.
I had to make a decision anyway. Then Jihyeok’s method was the best.
“Good night. Let’s do that.”
Since the decision was made, I had to move quickly.
“Open the castle gate aaaaa!!”
It looked like everyone had heard it wrong. However, the princess shouted again as she opened her eyes wide.
“Open the castle gate! Didn’t you hear?!”
As soon as Ganesha gave her order, Ji-hyeok ran to La Rosha. And when the gates were opened, he said to go straight under the gates and hold out as long as possible with the team.
“You have to make the most of your time. Anyway, if you kill the demon king, everything will disappear. So hold on. Don’t think about killing me, just hold on.”
“Yes… !”
Jihyeok went to the place where Ganesha was with the Heavenly Demon. Body healers also gathered there.
Soon, the gates swung open. The La Rocha team went down, with only Sasha remaining for a moment to give the buff to the Heavenly Demon. Meanwhile, the monster kept shooting monsters into the city.
The city had already become a terrible hell. Opening the castle gate late did not seem to change anything.
When the castle gate opened, the demon army began to flock there. Only then did the number of enemies around the demon king gradually decrease.
Each of the buff masters prepared to buff the bosses with their own skills. The four-member death squad exchanged glances for the last time before going down.
“Fuck it, let’s go cut the demon king’s head.”
Princess Ganesha shook her head and laughed eerily.
And, it’s time to go down. The princess raised her hand. Four buff magicians fired buffs at them. Jihyeok was also hit by a buff arrow from Rosalia.
Well done
He looked at her, nodded her head once, and threw her body under her.
The body-healer, wearing a very hard steel helmet, started charging forward without hesitation, protecting only his head as much as possible. The huge iron club he was holding swept away the demon king’s army blocking his way.
ㅡㅡ!!
The death squad of 4 penetrated the demon king’s army.
Toward the Demon King Pyros—.
