Chapter 19 – Entry(2)
“No. 2. Let’s go as usual.
Aren’t you nervous?”
At my words, No. 2 raised his thumb.
“Trust me, you won’t miss a single move of a rat within a kilometer radius.”
I called the non-No. 1 members with numbers if there was something to be called during the battle.
It is easier to give orders quickly than to say each name.
In the form of me taking the lead, I advance on the road while being wary of the surroundings.
Every step I took was such that debris caught on my feet, so it seemed like I was going to have a hard time.
Still, the entire area was destroyed, but where is the road that can pass through safely?
The commander assured us at the meeting that we could destroy the hatchery by controlling it to leave a path for the hunting party to enter.
It was her word.
This time the battlefield was much wider than usual.
There must have been dozens of routes besides the one we entered.
He handled such a huge magic well and in detail.
He is a commander with excellent skills as well as high self-esteem.
Next time, with respect, I’d like to tell you about a pleasant masturbation.
Normally, a bunch of them would have already come running.
The commander’s full power of magic was much stronger than expected, so things seemed to be a little easier.
The hatchery was in a state of complete destruction.
The crushed flesh and bloodstains of the beasts were clearly visible through the wreckage of the buildings that had collapsed beyond recall.
This seemed to be especially true since this was the outer part of the hatchery that received the power of the storm as it was.
If you go further inside, there will be those who are still alive.
The tough vitality and regenerative power of the beasts are so outstanding that they stick out their tongues.
It seemed that the members of the crew were in awe of the commander’s magic as well.
Except for No. 2, who was concentrating on search magic, the members of the crew trembled as they saw the muddy wreckage.
“It’s really boring.
Captain! Isn’t the commander the strongest in the empire?”
Number 1 asked me.
Are you kids? Ask something like that
“It should be enough to count on one hand.”
“No, is there anyone stronger than the one who uses this kind of magic…?”
When I answered without hesitation, the members of the group hated it.
“There are a lot of people who are famous for doing it one way.
The commander of the royal guard, the king of chariots across the border, and even the old man who has defended the front line for the rest of his life even though there is a truce… The world is wide.”
“As rumor has it, I’ve heard that the Marquis who protects the territory of the West Sea is also incredibly talented.
But I can’t believe it because I’ve been watching the commander’s magic for 5 years.
It’s not like we’ve seen them before…
I just believe that the commander is the best of the empire.”
If so, why did you ask?
The moment he was about to say something to No. 1, No. 2 opened his mouth.
“Chief.
There is an undestroyed hatchery about 700m ahead.
Even now, the gross guys are increasing.
Thirteen in total.”
It’s finally starting.
After hearing No. 2’s words, the members of the crew warmed up and showed their determination to fight.
“Are you alive after all this shit? It’s really hard.”
“But with thirteen, it’s really worth it. Compared to usual…”
“Stop the chatter. Move quickly!
2 to continue detection while moving and in combat.
Beast is thirteen.
It’s definitely not a difficult number, but this time the area allotted to each group is wider than ever before!
Even if a variable occurs and the situation becomes difficult, it is difficult to expect quick support from other groups, so never let your guard down!”
“Yep!”
When I gave the order, the guys responded in perfect order and raised their mana.
As I run first, the members of the group who have strengthened their bodies in their own way chase after me.
I ran, adjusting my speed to allow them to catch up.
Certainly, the deeper I went, the less enchanted I was, and I often saw a hatchery where the form still remained.
Quite a few buildings remained near the deepest part, which would be the end of the entry route.
Most of the remnants at the current location remained in their form and stopped functioning, but it seemed that they would have to be vigilant about their surroundings from now on.
I stopped at a location a little away from the building No. 2 pointed out.
It’s about three stories tall.
Although there were cracks all over the flesh-covered building, it seemed that it had barely lost its function as a hatchery.
Inside the dark building, I could feel the presence of the beasts watching me with bated breath.
When I glanced behind me, the members of the crew who had lined up behind me were waiting for instructions.
Shall we throw flares and enter?
No. Don’t be fooled by the small number of them.
The inside of the hatchery is the so-called home ground of wild beasts.
There was no reason for them to fight in an advantageous position.
I gave instructions.
“No. 1! Burn it.
Never mind the guys on the inside getting out.
Don’t look at me and scream at the entire hatchery!”
“Leave it to me!”
No. 1, who answered vigorously, spread the palms of both hands, and a ember rose from the top of his palms.
At first it was a spark, but in an instant it grew larger than a human body in a matter of seconds.
The flames wriggling on No. 1’s hand stretched out like a serpent and circled over our heads several times.
Every time the flames passed overhead, heat passed down the back of his neck.
Haha!”
No. 1 let out a laugh and gestured, and the red snake shot out like a harpoon and went through the hatchery’s cracked window.
The next moment, blindingly bright light emanated from the building, accompanied by the screams of beasts.
As the fiery serpent roared and roared through the interior of the three-story building, the beasts that hadn’t been burned in the first blow rushed out of the hatchery.
It was seven
“No. 4, three-legged reinforcement!
3,5,6,8! Take each one!
Number 7 prepares to defend itself just in case!”
As I gave instructions, I glanced at the beasts in an instant.
It was a jingling figure with various living things mixed together to the extent that it was impossible to tell whether it was a reptile or a mammal.
It looked like a cross between a wolf and a tortoise.
It didn’t seem like the type to spit poison, fire body parts, or throw anything.
No. 4 handed me three stones he had picked up from the rubble.
She received the stone, which was strengthened to explode like a bomb the moment it landed with her own magic, and at the same time, I chose the three closest to us, aimed at them, and threw them.
Were they just born?
The beasts couldn’t even react to the dialysis and their heads exploded.
The stones that were deeply embedded in the missing bodies exploded and tore their bodies to pieces.
As three of our comrades died, the remaining beasts lunged at us with grotesque screams.
Pretty fast, even for a kid.
However, the next moment they were shattered by the magic cast by the crew and scattered to the ground.
A body sliced like a steak.
Like many experienced guys, they finished it without giving them a chance to recover.
When the situation was over, I turned my head to see how No. 1 was, but he shouted urgently.
“Chief! There’s a guy with a breath! It looks like he was just born! Be careful!”
As soon as his words fell, a charred beast leaped toward me from a third-story window.
A groaning howl escaped from the gaping man.
I could see poisonous saliva dripping from its sharp fangs.
The moment the joy of slaughter shines in the eyes of the burnt and shriveled beast.
Kang!
There was a pleasant sound, like hitting a baseball with a bat.
A translucent barrier was created in the air about 3m from the ground, preventing the beast from falling.
It began wriggling and convulsing, with his neck turned upside down as if he had taken a bareback dive into his stone floor.
I glanced back and saw No. 7, Shin Eun-seo, glaring at the beast with one hand raised.
You did as instructed.
I laughed contentedly when there was a loud noise.
The hatchery started collapsing, probably because the building was on the verge of collapsing in the first place.
No. 1 wielded such intense heat that it seemed that it would take only hours for the entire hatchery to burn so violently that it would turn to ashes.
“Chief, be careful. The poison is gone!”
Number 7 warned me.
As she said, the saliva of the convulsing beast on top of the shield melted the shield and pierced the hole and flowed down.
It happened because the saliva of the beast was mixed with miasma.
The miasma that touched the shield dissipates No. 7’s mana and partially cancels the magic.
This is because magical power causes a strong rejection reaction the moment it comes in direct contact with miasma and becomes incapacitated.
It was one of the reasons humans couldn’t control miasma.
Of course, I was the exception, but I sneaked away because I didn’t want to be covered in the beast’s saliva.
It’s dirty
“The battle is over. Well done everyone.”
When I said this, the boys playfully muted their voices and cheered.
One of the guys said to #1.
“No. 1! Don’t laugh excitedly whenever you burn something.
What kind of arsonist are you?”
“You don’t know!
You don’t know this burning joy.
What can I do to have fun?”
“I can’t even light a cigarette…”
“Fuck the kid! That’s the sound again. Do you want to dizzle?”
The members of the group started chatting loudly, but they didn’t bother.
In that way, they are cooling off the heat of the battle that just happened and is to come.
As they teased No. 1 and snapped his fingers, No. 1’s face turned red.
Are you really going to get hot?
I said a word.
“Hey, hey, stop!
Lighting a cigarette by flicking your fingers is similar to rounding your tongue.
Can’t you smoke because you can’t do that?”
“Captain doesn’t smoke, so you wouldn’t know!
There is romance in setting fire by snapping your fingers.”
Who doesn’t know that That’s what I mean by teasing in moderation.
Uncle, I’m getting old, so I’m going to pick up a vase.
“It’s true that it’s not a big deal, but how can you not do that when your unique magic is fire magic?
It’s a magic that even the non-smoker chief uses well.
The other day, the captain lit 5 cigarettes at the same time.”
“…”
I want to tease you more at this time.
I do not know. Do what you like.
By the way, the number 1 is also pissed off for something that is not a big deal.
With something that isn’t even unique magic.
There are ‘unique’ magics, so there are also non-unique ones.
Magic that anyone can do.
For example, body strengthening or magic that creates embers by flicking a finger was like that.
As I gave an example, it is similar to rounding the tongue inside the mouth.
It’s just a matter of tips whether you’re good at it or not.
What really matters is the unique magic.
Assuming that there is a person with 10 mana, no matter how hard that person works with mana, it is difficult to achieve a result of more than 10.
There is a limit to the power that one human being can produce.
No wonder.
However, unique magic is different.
Only that person, magic that only one person in the world can use.
Depending on their aptitude and circumstances, 10 magic attribute can produce 100 or 1000 results.
A good example would be the magic of a commander who destroyed a city with only 10,000 mana.
Inherent magic, I think, is the user’s soul itself.
“Captain, we found a hatchery 500m ahead.
This time it is quite large. There are forty-two beasts.”
After thinking about something else for a while, Number 2 said.
The members of the group were talking loudly about trivial things, so even I got caught up in it for a while.
You have to focus, focus.
It’s not the time to think otherwise.
I slapped my cheek and ran to the hatchery.
