Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 794
794. [Western Front] – Mutant Lich (70)
***
“Rich… … .”
To me, it only appears as a faint dot.
Nevertheless, Lieutenant Leria stopped at such a great distance and resumed his battle stance. I felt that it felt different from Gryphon, the previous first-class apostle.
Good! Good!
As I watched the other platoon members hastily forming a formation and heading towards their positions, I also stood in my position holding my spear.
However, their appearance showed one difference from before.
A subtle change that makes you feel a little more nervous.
Above all, as Lieutenant Leria’s eyes showed even greater coldness, I instinctively hardened my heart even further.
‘It might be more dangerous.’
Griffon was a very threatening apostle due to his natural physical ability and various variables in the air through his wings. That is why, from such a great distance, Lieutenant Leria made the choice to cut off the wing in one go with a blood-red sword.
In that sense, the combat stance at this distance gave a different feeling.
I think it would be right to close the distance to deal with the lich, but Lieutenant Leria made a different decision.
“… … Han Cheon-seong will escort me as I attack Richie, Christina on the left and Iris on the right. And Sabrina stands in front and carries out the execution of this apostle. “My attack will soon be the signal.”
“yes!”
With a powerful reply, Lieutenant Leria took out her sword again.
Confirming that, I naturally changed my formation and joined Lieutenant Leria.
‘Ask me to escort myself.’
This means that you will focus your full attention only on Richie.
And I do my best to protect Lieutenant Leria. I thought over my mission again and again and made up my mind.
‘Don’t even think about being active.’
In my previous missions, I had no intention of shining more on myself and showing how useful I was to the enemy.
It was the same even during the previous mission, Griffon.
I need to show that I am performing my role properly and gain direct trust from various platoon members. And now, nothing more was needed.
All I have to do is follow the duties and orders given immediately and do my job.
Saaa… … .
Immediately, I looked at Lieutenant Leria with a spiral wind overlapping the window, and I saw her making a polite nose pose again.
The attitude of both sides of the scale.
The will to inflict damage by launching a long-distance, but unavoidable slash towards the lich far away.
■■■■■■■■■!!!
Immediately, a blood-colored flash cut through the space in an instant, and the other platoon members quickly rushed towards the apostle, spurring the ground.
“… … .”
Even as I watched it, I unconsciously gained strength in the hand holding the spear.
The apostle named Lich is dangerous in many ways.
It is impossible to simply say that something is a specific danger, and the sword-sized ‘Guardian Stone’ that was given to them just before going on this mission was increasing each person’s magic resistance like a minimum defense.
That’s it.
Each person must take care of themselves and overcome the crisis within the lich’s magic.
Slurrrrr… … !!
Soon, a flash of blood reached the lich, emitting a strange darkness, and I nodded without thinking.
Richie’s new model, which was only visible as a faint dot, was seen to stumble for a moment.
Although it was not a direct hit, the damage was severe enough to crack the unique barrier that the lich unconsciously deploys.
‘As expected, overwhelming force.’
Lieutenant Leria’s power is special. Any apostle’s cognitive range is overwhelmingly superior, and the bloody slash that strikes preemptively from a distance allows most apostles to attack without even being able to properly defend themselves.
Personal powerlessness.
Preemptive strike due to awareness.
And the resulting mission benefits… … .
No matter what you see, Lieutenant Leria was absolutely necessary.
“Han Tiansheng, from now on, don’t leave my surroundings.”
As I was thinking, I grabbed the window even harder when I heard a cold voice.
“yes. “I will definitely protect it.”
“… … okay.”
When she let out a slight laugh at my words and then took a stance again, I became wary of my surroundings.
The apostle’s buster call sometimes meant a huge shout, but I found out that sometimes there is a buster call in a form other than a shout.
And that’s what I actually saw with my own eyes.
Slur… !
The strange darkness spread by the lich soon begins to seep into the corpses of surrounding monsters. At the same time, it affected monsters in the distance and made them all look at us.
Even as I swallowed my saliva, I unconsciously composed myself.
‘I don’t think it’s a joke.’
In order to immediately confront the Lich, three people blocked the area from all directions except for the Lich’s rear. Even now, Lieutenant Leria is striking the lich with another bloody slash and suppressing it strongly.
In comparison, I felt like I was doing something easier… … .
That’s not what it felt like.
Crack! Kwazijic!
The corpses of monsters appeared as if reorganized in the darkness of the lich, and countless monsters had already begun to rush in.
The number was hundreds at best, and it was as if they were attacking us from all directions.
‘Rich has now designated Lieutenant Leria as the highest risk.’
That’s why the monsters didn’t target the three people who went to check the lich earlier.
Right now, waves of monsters are just coming to keep Lieutenant Leria in check.
ㅡSurana Dock.
I immediately developed my skills and changed my mind.
After joining the 1st Red Wing unit, you do not need permission to use skills.
The 2nd unit had more frequent missions and had to deal with multiple apostles, so their skill use was limited, but the 1st class apostles had no choice but to conserve their power.
Chichichik… … !
As the spiral swirls, a huge bursting sound comes from the storm-filled window. Immediately after, as I continued to overlap the endless spirals on the window, I also calmed down.
One circle.
I am currently drawing a huge circle in the space that is in my field of vision.
A very large circle is drawn, centered on me and including Lieutenant Leria, who is right next to me, preparing to unleash a bloody slash at the Lich.
Sreuk!
While changing the hand holding the spear, the reach of the spear is expanded to a greater extent than before.
“… … “Not a single one.”
We will not allow any intrusion into this huge circle.
As I strengthened my thoughts, I began swinging the spiral-covered spear like a gale.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!
Fuuuk, kwajik! Chop rock!
In an instant, a huge pool of blood erupted from all directions, and the bodies of the incoming monsters began to explode as if they were being torn apart by a spiral.
Now that I consider myself to have reached the level of a level 7 middle skill, my movements in swinging the spear have shown to be a big step forward compared to before.
‘It’s light.’
Even if you do not apply much force to the spear, the power to swing the spear is the same as before.
This meant that force control and redundant movements were completely reduced.
And now that I have demonstrated the skill, it has become even more impactful.
Now that the reach of the spear has become several times greater than before, with a spiral like a storm, I was able to slaughter monsters coming from all directions just by swinging the spear as if shooting out a spiral that wrapped around the spear.
‘If it was before.’
It would probably have been impossible to exert this level of power while maintaining the same position as now.
And when the spiral bursts like that, at the same time, the endless spiral fills up endlessly and embraces Changsin again.
Feeling a sense of strength, my gaze suddenly turned straight ahead.
Saaa… … !!!
The darkness that erupts from the lich is about to completely engulf the surrounding area.
And every time, a huge wind blows.
A wind completely different from the spiral I created, Lieutenant Iris’s spirit erasing the darkness.
Huge shock waves continue to explode in front of the lich, and Ensign Sabrina hits the cracked barrier even more intensely.
Just watching it… … .
“… … .”
Trust filled my heart.
Aside from the fact that each member of the platoon has a very high level of combat power, each member knows what he or she should do without having to say much.
Ensign Christina, who was in charge of the left, also did the same.
Grumble!
With her touch, the blue flame erases the surrounding darkness as if on fire, and at the same time cancels out the pouring magic with intense flames.
Unlike the other two platoon members, it was targeting the magic implemented by the lich.
Even that was a great performance.
Clap la la la rock… … !
It was the moment when the huge swirling spiral once again swept around the surrounding area and slaughtered the monsters.
ㅡ!
The moment I retrieved the spear, an alarm bell suddenly rang in my chest.
‘… … What the hell.’
Has this strange alarm still not stopped several days later?
I don’t know.
No matter how much of a sense of crisis there was regarding the nine apostles, it was at a bizarre level.
Swish!
As soon as I retrieved the spear again, it was a spiraling moment.
“… !”
I suddenly blinked. It wasn’t close.
But without realizing it, my head turned.
Something with a huge size that slowly rises as strange darkness gathers.
that… … He was an apostle whom I had seen before.
“Crystal Troll… … ?”
Level 2 Apostle Crystal Troll.
It was now filled with strange darkness, as if a half-collapsed body was being regenerated.
For a moment, my mind turned completely white.
From noble mtl dot com
‘how?’
Although it is said that the lich uses strange powers to resurrect dead monsters and turn them into the dead, there is no mention of resurrecting dead apostles in any material.
I was sure of that because I had studied it over and over again.
But now… … .
That’s what I saw in my eyes.
“Don’t shake.”
Lieutenant Leria’s cold voice suddenly sounded and I instantly made eye contact.
Her sword was overflowing with an extremely intense blood-red energy. And looking at that, I nodded.
The lich you are dealing with now is not an ordinary lich.
-Mutation.
I realized that fact in an instant.
And Lieutenant Leria is trying to execute the lich faster than ever. Then I had to help her.
“… … “I will definitely watch it.”
As he spoke, he swung his spear wide again and instantly killed dozens of monsters that were rushing in.
Clap la la la rock… !
Amidst the reverberation of the swirling blue spiral, my gaze was no longer directed to the lich.
Wow!!
A crystal troll engulfed in the darkness of a lich. A sense of crisis arose that I would now have to deal with that apostle, a second-class apostle, alone.
