Black Badger - Chapter 394



Only Noblemtl

394. Collapse (1)

It will definitely be more fun as you gain experience.

Kairos thought.

But it was good enough. Even though they pushed back with the water dragon and poison bird, the formation didn’t completely collapse. It seemed like they still had a hard time using various types of monsters. But the skill in making the monsters form a formation and controlling them was top-notch.

Kraaaaak!

The poison blinded the eyes of the demons.

The water dragon took a bite out of each of those who were staggering from the poisonous powder. The water dragon is a controversial entity as to whether it should be classified as a dragon.

In fact, something close to a giant snake was eating only the heads of the monsters.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

After I was somewhat full, I just bit into it as I was told.

A group of monsters split into two groups and began to attack the water dragon.

The water dragon skillfully dodged their attacks as Kairos would have it.

I don’t think it will last long though… .

“Kyle said you weren’t in your right mind.”

A young voice is heard from somewhere behind the ranks of demons.

Although his puberty had passed, he still seemed to be a young adult.

There was a hint of trepidation in his voice.

“I said I was interested in nothing but monsters. I sold my honor and pride to monsters!”

“Ah. That’s not wrong.”

Kairos grinned as he sent his poison hawk flying, spraying a cloud of toxic dust over the rest of the formation.

“Aren’t you like that?”

The answer did not come right away.

“It’s not me!”

The monsters let out a single shout and ran towards him.

“I don’t know pride like you do!”

Kwaaaaang!

Just before the rushing monsters could strike him with their spears and bodies, Kairos snatched the flying creature’s claws and soared into the sky.

The monsters that had lost their target fell forward.

Things that fall over like sandwiches and end up underneath each other.

Kairos put strength into his arms and swung himself onto the flying creature.

“I guess I need to learn how to keep my composure a little more.”

Orange eyes glowed with life.

“It’s amazing that you didn’t forget to bring a herd of pigs while doing all this.”

He didn’t bother to find a missionary.

“In a fight with monsters, the type of monster served is more important than the number, and the judgment of the monster servant is more important.”

Kairos grew up in a tribe that had to conquer to survive.

That’s why he didn’t feel as much sympathy for those who died fighting in battle as he did for Earthlings. Unless you were sold off to become a mercenary, wouldn’t you have no need to sympathize with your enemies on the battlefield where you risk your life?

When fighting the Empire, he achieved exploits comparable to Kyle’s.

Even now, it seemed that if he wanted to cut off the neck, he would be able to do so. Even though he was hiding with transparency magic, he could roughly estimate where the young minister was.

But that kid is too young.

Kairos made his decision while calling out to the descending poison.

Instead of the servants, I have to get rid of the monsters that were served.

It would be better if the fallen monsters didn’t burn.

Because what has been burned to ashes has no place to be absorbed.

Hildebert hates being absorbed, but he will desperately try to survive until the war is over.

Kwaaang!

A pillar of fire descends next to him.

Kairos added 10 more monsters to his service.

And he dodged the fire here and there and destroyed the ranks of demons.

“Push through to the start.”

With that order, Kairos began the subjugation.

***

“good.”

Yehyun let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, they had avoided being caught in a crossfire.

It was because the pillar of heat that had been pouring down disappeared at some point. It was thanks to Hildebert diverting the wizard’s attention. The white-haired badger was in the process of pushing the wizard back quite hard.

It seems that they decided that it would be more efficient to attack the wizards themselves rather than defend them from their attacks.

In fact, Hildebert’s choice was right, so now the pillar of fire was pouring down only on Hildebert.

A land full of ash.

I kept worrying that my opponent might be breathing in toxic fumes and might get burned.

Hildebert doesn’t even have a reinforced body.

Of course, now was not the time to worry about him.

Yehyun looked at the four Titans and his subordinates gathered in front of him.

Then he turned his gaze to Igor.

“i look forward to.”

He held out his palm and pointed at Ro.

“I’m not very… clear-headed, but I still have good intuition.”

“It looks like that.”

Igor chuckled.

Two people were chosen to jump out of the trench.

Because they needed someone to escort Martin out of the headquarters building. The liquid that would close the space movement was all that was left in the headquarters, so they couldn’t risk losing it. Someone had to escort Martin as he moved forward carrying the liquid.

So the ones who were chosen were Igor, who used cold weapons, and Giacomo Lo, who also knew how to use cold weapons.

Black Badger, which has a positive result but no specific symptoms.

Like other Badgers, Law carried a gun, but when he ran out of ammunition, he would just roughly crush the creature’s head with the buttstock.

That means I can send it out.

“Ready?”

[It’s all done.]

Scar, who was assisting Martin’s sortie from inside headquarters, answered.

[I’ve confirmed the route. Martin has moved to the fire robot. If you give me the order, I’ll leave right away.]

“good.”

After making a final check, Yehyun looked around at those inside the trench.

“Is there anything else I should know?”

Everyone remained silent.

Yoon Man said dryly.

“I wish you would recognize my hard work.”

“When you’re done with work, get ready to write a report.”

Ye-Hyeon didn’t even glance at Yoon.

After answering absentmindedly, I looked at the headquarters building, the science building, and the medical building.

Mad scientists.

The commander-in-chief felt quite dizzy at the thought of seeing the scientists’ madness with his own eyes.

I think I’ve seen a report somewhere that they made a firefighting machine, but I heard that it wasn’t practical enough to be deployed on an actual battlefield, so it was just stashed away in a corner of the science building.

Martin was now steering it.

A machine that Yoon commented was ‘made a bit unnecessarily large.’

It will be out soon… .

“let’s go.”

[Martin appears.]

Clang!

Clang, clang!

Kwaaang!

“…What is that?”

The building collapsed.

I watched in amazement as the science building was destroyed by the badgers.

You’s eyes also widened, and Deltey screamed and covered his mouth.

In fact, there were few who were calm. It would be difficult not to be surprised at the sight of a giant machine breaking through a building window and clinging to the wall of a tall building like a spider.

Only Yoon, Igor, Rose, and Ro remained calm.

Yoon was communicating with Martin through the surviving tablet.

Igor ended up whistling, and Rose was too busy looking at Hildebert.

Ro picked his ear with his little finger.

Then he gave his impressions.

“Is this a long-distance work?”

“Go and escort him.”

Ye-Hyeon gave instructions while enduring the stomachache.

“Even though it looks like that, it has no attack power whatsoever.”

The trench opens as soon as the words are spoken.

Badgers brace themselves for any creatures that might enter the trenches.

Igor and Ro didn’t say a word.

Roh let out a “Oh!” and ran out of the trench, holding the axe the badgers had given him.

“Fuck! I thought I was going to die from boredom!”

Igor laughed as soon as the trench door opened.

He was wearing a mask so he couldn’t see it, but his eyes squinted. The man took the sword out of its scabbard and looked at Deltey, You, Rose, and Yehyun in that order.

The sword expert said.

“They are coming from the north.”

“please.”

“be careful!”

Ye-Hyeon greets politely and Deltay gives caution.

You let out something akin to a sigh.

“I’m sure that machine is working properly.”

“Martin also stopped the last space movement.”

Ye-Hyeon looked sadly at the huge two-story machine crawling down the building.

“He’s a very capable kid, even though he consumes a lot of electricity. If you help him, he’ll do well.”

“Okay. Let’s try it.”

Igor answered and jumped out of the trench.

***

The wizard and the knight don’t like each other very much.

It was usually so. The wizards thought the knights were fools who were obsessed with iron bars that tore at flesh. The knights thought the wizards were cowardly, desk-bound men who had no courage to go to battle.

It must be because they are so different from each other.

And when you face an enemy, it’s probably because the battle isn’t fun, easy, or something to learn.

A battle without any taste.

It was never easy. I’ve dealt with fire mages before, but he and Myhrbald were on a whole other level.

Somehow they are still pushing it all the way to the south.

It wasn’t easy to land a valid blow on someone who could turn his body into flames.

The surrounding environment wasn’t good either.

How much toxic gas did you inhale?

It wasn’t fatal because the sword was scattering the air in the area, but I could feel that the negative effects were accumulating.

I have to finish this quickly.

It only needs to be valid once… .

Kwakwaang!

Five pillars of fire descended in the five directions.

I swung my sword high above my head and cut through the flames.

A blade that heats well.

Just as I was about to pull it back towards my body and swing it, I heard the sound of something breaking behind me.

Clang!

I turned around to see where the huge sound had come from and was startled.

There was something huge stuck to the left of the science building.

“What is that?”

Myhrbold seemed surprised too.

A man rose from the blazing fire.

“Is it a monster?”

It’s no surprise.

He probably doesn’t know much about modern civilization… .

The thing is, I was surprised too.

What the heck is that?

“Go, Martin!”

her?

“Close the portal!”

?

Martin?

Martin??

Martin, the cutie from the science department?

I was so surprised that I couldn’t control my facial expression.

I saw a machine with its mouth open, climbing down the wall of a building using its eight legs.

That’s Martin.

I can’t believe it… .

“Euraaaaah!”

But it seemed to be some kind of important machine.

Lowa and Igor were running towards it.

Law, who was relatively short, and Igor, who was very tall, ran side by side, slaughtering creatures with axes and swords.

“Hahahaha!”

…as….

The senior smiled with a villainous face and smashed the creature’s skull with an axe.

“Let’s go!”

“Hey! That yellow string-like creature is cut in the middle!”

“okay!”

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Cut the mushrooms!”

“Okay.”

Kwaaang!

I watched in amazement as Law and Igor slaughtered creatures together and reached a machine that was hard to believe was Martin.

The monsters that Kairos was unable to stop as they were thoroughly slaughtering the ranks of Uruk-hai.

The men who had gone out to deal with them now began to steadily clear a path for the machine to advance.

The combat is good.

Of course, I wasn’t distracted from the battle by watching them.

“Vulgar things.”

The pentagram detected the wizard who was trying to distance himself by turning into flames.

“How horrible…”

The magic of the Archmage is certainly powerful.

A pillar of fire that falls from the sky to the ground like a divine punishment, a body that turns into fire, and the ability to instantly distance oneself while turning into flames.

Neither offense nor defense was easy.

But there was one thing I never lost to him about.

Experience gained from rolling around on the battlefield.

The sense of time shatters every time you immerse yourself in combat.

The change in air that felt sharp whenever objects moved and the opponent’s next move that was clearly visible always became the stepping stone to victory.

The Archmage was tricky because it was not easy to respond even when reading the next number.

Kwakwaang!

Still, reading the numbers is effective.

The prediction was correct.

The sword strike, which was aimed at predicting the wizard’s next move, struck the wizard’s back as he quickly moved to Igor and Ro.

“Huh!”

Myerbold let out a short sound.

good.

We closed the distance in an instant.

Push through.

Boom, bang, bang!

I started to push the Archmage, who was slowed by his injuries, back into the corner.

The attack consisted of two streams. Swinging the sword to create a vacuum above the flames, extinguishing the fire set by the wizard. This blocked the wizard’s path of movement, and then delivered an effective strike.

He launched attacks without any gaps.

The sword isn’t usually this busy.

Even though they pushed him all the way to the science building, the wizard was not easily defeated.

You’re amazing, even though you’ve only been stuck on the magic tower and have no combat experience.

Of course, small but valid hits continued to come in.

good.

I smiled, smelling the familiar scent of victory.

Now victory is just around the corner… .

“Myerbold.”

The pleasant flow was broken by a voice falling over my head.

A woman’s voice resonated through the air.

“Kyle told me not to drag the main body out.”

A giant face appears in the void of the core.

Six faces and twelve palms on the neck.

The clone of Archmage Navarrate was floating in the air.

“I just woke up from the mana feedback, and my body is not in perfect condition. If I meet the traitorous knight commander while I have no sense of battle, not only my eyes but my neck will be blown off.”

“Navarate.”

“Let’s go back. You too, little servant.”

Surprisingly, she too woke up from the mana feedback.

The wizard Navarrate glanced at the mountain of Uruk-hai corpses, then spread out his twelve palms towards the science building.

And then he said.

“I’ll help you.”

Kwaaaaang!

A white bomb hit the science building.
