Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 37
Only Noblemtl
Episode 37
Wild shopping center, rooftop.
thud!
Two cadets clung to each other and lifted a large piece of machinery onto the roof.
A large metal cylinder and numerous wires connected to it.
It was an external mana battery created by technician Kwak Gi-su.
A piece of equipment that connects to the player’s body and supplies excessive mana, allowing them to use more powerful skills than their current level.
Simply put, it was equipment that inflated the damage, range, and functions of skills.
So far, the only person who has directly used this equipment is the alchemist, Oh Yang-ho.
Thanks to the support of this equipment, Yangho was able to create a growth promoter for the Divine Tree.
But now this battery wasn’t for good.
The reason I dragged this equipment up to the rooftop is… … .
“Hey Gian, this battery is yours today.”
“ha…….”
Glasses, long hair, and an appearance that makes him look like he’s in his early twenties.
Her name is Noh Ji-an.
The only elementalist among the cadets.
Gian said.
“But why did you do this to me… … ?”
“You’re one of the few among us who can attack from a wide area.”
“What about Sehwa?”
“He’s tall even without using this.”
“after…….”
Yangho started to install mana batteries into Jian’s body.
As wires began to attach all over her body, Gian began to look uneasy.
“Hey, it’s okay.”
“why.”
“Have you tried this?”
“… I had fun writing it.”
The expression on Yangho’s face became slightly rotten.
I used the battery a few more times to make more tree growth promoters, and that memory came back to me.
Gian asked.
“How does it feel when you use it?”
“Nothing much. It just feels like there are worms crawling inside my blood vessels… … ?”
“Isn’t that a big deal, you punk… … !”
“Don’t be angry and just stock up on skills quickly. The battle is just around the corner.”
“Ugh… … .”
Gian closed her eyes and activated her skill.
Stock, a special skill that can be used by some magic classes.
This is a technique that allows you to pre-load skills that take a long time to activate so that you can use them instantly later.
The elementalist class, which is Gian’s class, has versatile skills and a large range, but has the problem that it takes a long time for the skills to activate. This problem can be solved by stocking it.
Kagagak-
Spheres of fire and ice began to slowly coalesce and form around Gian’s body.
Gian’s expression distorted.
“Hey, sir. It feels like a marten is crawling, not an earthworm… …!”
“go for it.”
“This fucking… … !”
At that moment, a light quarrel was about to break out between the two.
“KPA, listen up!!”
A roar like a wall flew towards the wild.
It was a voice so loud that everyone in the wilderness could hear it.
“You have invaded and burned the garden of Count Candeley, the private property of Hongryeon! And yet you have the audacity to… … .”
The person who stood on the makeshift podium and shouted out this declaration of war against evil was the head of the third branch of the Hongryeon.
He continued to point out the KPA’s mistakes through the loudspeaker magic he had activated right in front of his lips.
“… Furthermore, he even committed the outrageous act of stealing the seeds of the sacred tree of Candleley, which was Hongryeon’s precious private property… … .”
at that time.
Yeongsu, who had been hiding next to the podium in his Hongryeon military uniform, came out and spoke.
“If you guys hadn’t instigated TS Company and touched our jewels, we wouldn’t have had to touch the sacred tree, you idiot.”
“What?!”
Declaration of war, cessation.
Youngsoo pulled out a knife from his inventory and ran towards the 3rd branch manager.
Shhh!
“This kid… … !”
“Protect the branch manager!!”
But Youngsoo’s speed was much faster than that of the guards.
The sword of the 3rd branch manager and the sword of the leader clashed sharply.
Kaang!!
A sharp, crashing sound that would make an ordinary person fall to the ground, clutching their ears.
In an instant, three swordsmen exchanged blows.
And the result is-
Shhh-
Kang!!
The 3rd branch manager’s sword flew into the air.
That was the moment when the defeat of Branch Manager 3 was confirmed.
Pubberbubung!
Several magical shots landed on Youngsoo.
Of course, I didn’t touch Youngsoo even once.
Still, he succeeded in forcing Youngsoo to step down.
“Catch that guy!”
“Where did you go?!”
“Chase me!!”
But Youngsu had disappeared without a trace.
He left the scene without making a sound and blended in with the crowd.
As Youngsoo disappeared, anxiety began to fill the void.
There is anxiety that an assassin named Cheon Yeong-su has sneaked into Hongryeon’s camp.
And the fear that the tip of that sword could be turned against them at any time.
These two emotions began to eat away at Hongryeon’s camp like an epidemic.
“This coward, attempting a surprise attack like this… … !”
The third branch manager reached down to the floor to pick up his dropped knife.
But something was strange.
My arm didn’t move.
“uh……?”
There was a scar on the back of my hand that I had never seen before.
And a purple aura was spreading out from the wound.
It was poisonous.
“What the heck… … !”
The sword that Youngsoo swung earlier was not just any sword, but the poison sword Sigal.
It was a sword with a curved blade unique to the poison sword that wrapped around the blade of the 3rd branch chief and struck him down, leaving a wound on the back of his hand.
The branch manager felt his vision becoming blurry.
Evidence that the poison has reached the head.
The branch manager shouted in a fit of rage.
“Where’s the healer! Heal me quickly… Kreup… Kkeup… … .”
“Branch Manager!!”
A crazy situation where one of the commanders collapsed before the war even properly started.
Anxiety and fear on the Hongryeon side soared, and morale fell.
And this was the role that Youngsu played in this war.
“Your role is to defend the castle.”
Just before the surprise attack, Youngsu gave these instructions to the wild men via radio.
“I say again, Mercury. Your role is not to go out and destroy the enemy, but to lock the gates and hold out until you die.”
“Then what about you, professor?”
“I’m going to do what I do best out in the wild.”
“What are you best at… … ?”
“Assassination of the agent, spreading anxiety, causing fear.”
No matter how strong Youngsu was, it was impossible for him to defeat a hundred of Hongryeon’s entire forces.
But it was possible to sway the emotions of a group in a negative way.
Because that was the killer’s job.
“But Professor, is holding out unconditionally the answer? … …? No matter how well we hold out, if we don’t trample on the Hongryeon itself, won’t they continue to attack us?”
“It’s an order. Trust me. If you hold on, you’ll win.”
After those words, the wild side no longer questioned Youngsu’s orders.
and-
bang!
Hongryeon’s self-propelled gun opened fire.
Launch and landing.
Kwaaaaang!!
Part of the castle’s walls were destroyed.
A gardener waiting nearby sprayed a growth promoter on the damaged area.
The hole in the wall was repaired in an instant.
The commander of Hongryeon, who saw that, gave an order.
“Shoot! Spread the shells so fast that the recovery speed can’t keep up… … .”
At that moment.
Push tasting!
A thick smoke screen suddenly burst and enveloped the area around the self-propelled gun.
The self-propelled artillerymen were so confused by their vision suddenly being blocked that they were unable to pull the trigger of their guns.
and-
Stand up!
The soldiers inside the smoke screen began to be slaughtered in an instant.
The soldiers fell one by one, struck by blades flying from nowhere.
The soldiers inside the self-propelled gun were gripped by extreme fear.
“…Did you lock the hatch?”
“yes!”
But at that moment.
—-
[Skill] ‘Unblocking’ activated.
—-
Crunch!
Yeongsu unlocked the hatch with his disarming technique, opened it, and flicked the incendiary glove.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large amount of flames poured into the sealed interior of the self-propelled gun.
1st SPG squad, annihilated.
After taking out one of the four self-propelled guns, Youngsu radioed towards the wild castle.
“Elementalist! If you have any fireballs stored up, shoot them towards the east!”
“yes!”
Pishuuu-
Gian fired three fireballs he had stored high into the air.
The fireball, which was about the size of a basketball, grew larger as it flew in a parabolic arc.
And the final size is a whopping 11 meters in diameter.
The fireball that flew in like a meteor was powerful enough to obliterate a platoon or two.
Quagwagwagwa!!
A heat wave swept through Hongryeon’s camp.
A temporary descent into hell.
The water attribute magic evolved the flames that spread, but it could not bring back the troops that had already been directly hit and burned.
Hongryeon was shocked.
“There’s someone in the KPA who can use magic of that scale… …?”
“We must fight back too! Where are our wizards!!”
There was.
But now it was gone.
A significant number of the wizards who were hastily found had collapsed.
All of them are collapsed, their bodies consumed by purple poison.
It was Yeongsu who did it.
“Healers! Where are the healers!!”
The healers ran around and saved the magicians of the Red Lotus.
As the wizards began to fall, troops began to gather around the wizards to escort them.
Naturally, the advance speed slowed down and siege capabilities also declined rapidly.
Of course, not all of Hongryeon’s units were in this danger.
The only units that were able to hold Youngsu back were the units in the east and north.
It was not possible to stop the Red Lotus legions that were rushing in from the other two directions.
Boom!
Doo doo doo!!
The assault began on the western wall of the castle.
The wooden wall was so strong and the gardeners clung on desperately to take care of it, so the wall did not collapse.
However, there was no denying that the collapse of the western wall was only a matter of time.
In addition, most of the skills that Gian had stockpiled were gone.
It’s finally time to step forward.
The decisive weapon of the KPA cadets.
“Huh… … .”
Wild shopping center rooftop.
A little girl stepped forward, her legs trembling.
Her gaze was directed west.
“I don’t like this… this kind of thing… .”
It was the spirit master, So Se-hwa.
The weakest, most fight-hating, and most timid cadet in the KPA.
But, contrary to her personality, the student with the most destructive power was her.
If Junyoung was treated as the strongest fighter among the cadets, then Sehwa was treated as nothing more than a strategic weapon.
Of course, there was still the problem that it was difficult to carry out detailed small-scale attacks because communication with the spirits was still a bit awkward… … .
In a situation like now where a large army is coming, it wasn’t a problem.
“Northhord, spirit of the north wind… … .”
Kuuuu-
The Red Lotus troops in the west felt it.
I feel like the clouds above my head are gradually settling in.
The magic players on Hongryeon’s side had a hunch.
“Spiritualism… …?”
An emergency was declared for the spirit masters of the Hongryeon faction.
“Push it out!!”
“Fight the wind with wind!”
“Wait a minute, you didn’t summon the Northhorde… … ?!”
A clash of spirits has occurred.
Northhorde, the spirit of the north wind that crushes and crushes its opponents.
And other wind spirits that push it away.
The air currents began to twist violently, and the aftershocks began to sweep through the Hongryeon camp.
Quagwagwa!
“Eww… … !”
“Don’t fire the mortars! The shells will fly off in the strong wind!!”
The western legions of the Hongryeon began to fall into confusion.
Of course, thanks to the efforts of the Hongryeon players, there were no casualties on the Hongryeon side.
However, because of the strong wind, projectile weapons such as mortars and firearms became useless, and most soldiers had difficulty walking, so the advance came to a halt.
With this, the advance of the Western Corps was temporarily halted.
The Eastern Legion also stopped advancing due to the combined attacks of the Elementalist’s bombardment and the Spirit’s attack.
Now all that remained were two legions advancing from the north and south.
The south has relatively many tall buildings and complex geography, so no significant attacks have been made yet.
The problem was in the north.
First of all, unlike the south, the north had a flat terrain and many low-rise buildings, giving the attackers a much greater advantage.
In addition, although the Northern Corps suffered sporadic surprise attacks from the commander, it recovered quickly because the force was so large.
In this way, the Northern Army recovered from the surprise attack by the commander, prepared, and quickly began to advance again.
In the south, pressure is gradually being applied, and in the north, the army is forming its ranks and pointing its guns.
“… I guess the difference in troop numbers can’t be helped.”
Within the wild, who had grasped the situation, a sense of despair began to slowly creep in.
however-
dump.
“What?!”
“What? What the… Whew… … !”
Thud, thud!
Suddenly, the troops of the Northern Corps began to fall one by one.
