Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 73
Only Noblemtl
Episode 73
The evening before the war.
Gap-seok asked Yeong-su.
“But if you try to lure them with Mine’s arm, wouldn’t they mistake this arm for a demon sword?”
“huh.”
“But the amount of magic energy coming from this arm is far less than that of the magic sword, so how are you going to fool their detection stakes?”
“That’s why I put my hands on the detection stakes in advance.”
“ah?”
“We have already modified the detection stakes around Jamsil Main Stadium to greatly increase their detection sensitivity.”
“… … !”
“If you do it that way, you can fool the detection stakes into thinking there’s a huge amount of magic lurking around, even with just a small amount of magic.”
“Then if we lure those guys from the Great Temple like that… … .”
“pop.”
Youngsoo made a gesture with both hands as if something was exploding.
“It’s going to explode.”
“Oh… … .”
“Oh, and Gapseok.”
“yes?”
“I have a strategy that I’ll share with you exclusively.”
“which…….”
“There’s a 50/50 chance that Cardinal Sora will actually use that weapon, but I think I should learn the strategy first.”
“What kind of weapon is that?”
“Basilis the Wounded.”
Youngsoo started drawing something on the whiteboard.
“Watch carefully. You are the only one among us who can deal with this vicious weapon.”
* * *
Kwakwakwakwa!!
The explosive shells buried in the floor of the main stadium exploded all at once.
Flash, impact, explosion, heat, debris, and thick black smoke.
An earth-shaking explosion rocked the stadium.
Almost every single elf who had entered the arena was caught in the explosion.
A situation where, if it were an ordinary person, they would have died instantly.
But these were not ordinary people.
“Cluck, cluck!”
“These little bastards… … .”
“How dare you set a trap… …!”
Each and every elf is an elite soldier, and their physical abilities have been greatly enhanced by the Golden Ring Corps.
In addition, thanks to the defensive magic deployed by the rearguard at the moment of the explosion, there were not many casualties.
There weren’t even any deaths.
“…stupid things.”
“Did you think you could kill us with these explosives?”
“Ha, I guess we were really underestimated.”
In the end, the explosion did not kill a single elf, but only served to further enrage them.
Cardinal Sora, commander-in-chief of the Demon Sword Suppression Force, turned on his loudspeaker magic.
And he gave a new order.
“Kill him.”
The command to annihilate.
The order was to kill everything in sight, inside and outside this stadium.
Immediately after killing, return via the portal.
The soldiers all understood what this order meant.
Master-
An archbishop-level figure raised a greatsword toward the sky.
The sunlight briefly gleamed on the tip of the sword.
The sword drew a straight line vertically.
Quagwagwagwa!!
A slash that strikes down in the shape of a drawn line.
The blast tore through the audience, the roof, the concrete floor and the walls.
This was the power of the Golden Ring.
The power to split a stone wall that hundreds of people have built over several months with a single sword strike.
“let’s go!”
“Wow!!”
The elven forces began to leave the arena through a concrete ravine cut by a single greatsword.
With lightning-quick movements, I leave this no-man’s land and head towards where I will slaughter those insect-like humans.
Running, jumping, shouting.
Then, a sense of alienation suddenly came upon them.
For example, you may have jumped from a low place and suddenly sprained your ankle.
Uduk.
“Ugh!”
As one elf soldier rolled around, clutching his ankle, a comrade passing by laughed at him.
“You sprained your ankle just because you fell from that height?”
“Hey, no, something feels weird right now.”
“That’s strange… I’ll help you up. Get up.”
He grabbed the hand of his fallen comrade and tried to help him up.
at that time.
dump.
The one who tried to raise him up ended up falling down with him.
It was because my legs were loose.
Sudden weakness of unknown cause.
“uh……?”
It was only then that he began to sense that things were going strangely wrong.
It wasn’t just these two.
The other elf soldiers also began to feel a sense of weakness slowly weighing on their bodies.
“Ugh… … .”
“What, what… … ?!”
Seeing this sight, the archbishop-level elves were embarrassed and began to encourage their soldiers.
“wake up!”
“What the heck are you doing… doing… .”
But even the archbishop-level elves soon began to feel it.
The tip of the sword they were holding was slowly lowered.
The strength in my arm muscles was gradually disappearing.
‘Why… …!’
They started to wonder what on earth was wrong.
‘Is it because of the smoke from the explosion…?’
There was no other cause.
Inhaling the black smoke from the exploding bomb.
Other than that, there was no other cause that could come to mind.
That was the correct answer.
The ‘black mana’ mixed inside the wall bomb had removed the effect of the Golden Ring.
As the elves on the main stadium side began to lose their strength one by one.
There were also elves who were not affected by the wall bombs.
“hmm?”
“What happened?”
These were snipers stationed in high-rise buildings right around the main stadium.
Specialists in long-range combat equipped with bows and crossbows.
They were far enough away from the main stadium that they were unaffected by the smoke from the wall bombs.
And even if they had been hit by a wall bomb, they wouldn’t have suffered as much damage as they did.
Because the snipers didn’t eat the golden ring.
“Why is everyone suddenly collapsing… … ?”
The snipers soon realized that they were the only sane soldiers on this battlefield.
They sharpened their minds and began to analyze the situation.
‘If you set a trap like that, there will definitely be enemies nearby.’
The snipers began to search with their sharp eyes for any human forces that might be hiding somewhere.
But their quest did not last long.
Sigh.
Almost at the same time, a blade stabbed into my back.
“Keuk… … !”
“Oh, why… … !”
Snipers in different positions were attacked from behind almost simultaneously.
They were hiding at least 100 meters apart from each other.
Moreover, he wasn’t just hiding, he was also casting a stealth spell.
However, they were unable to stop the surprise attack from behind.
After killing one of the crossbow-wielding snipers, the swordsman Jang Do-su muttered while wiping the blood off the blade.
“I already knew where you were hiding.”
In fact, the Undercovers team already knew where the snipers would be deployed around Jamsil Main Stadium.
Thanks to Swauss.
“I wrote the fourth revision of the Great Crusade Combat Doctrine. It’s a combat doctrine that’s so cleanly drawn out that there’s a high probability that it’s still being used.”
In fact, the Great Temple was using the battle doctrine created by Swaus.
Thanks to this, Swauss was able to deduce all the sniper positions.
There is nothing more helpless than a sniper whose location has been revealed in advance.
The snipers on the Great Temple side were killed instantly by the players who had ambushed them.
Of course, there were exceptions.
“these guys……!”
One sniper, who barely escaped with his life in the ambush, escaped to the building next door.
Then he took something out of his bosom and put it in his mouth.
Wow.
A faint golden light began to flow out from around the bastard’s body.
It was a golden ring.
The bastard’s body began to rapidly strengthen.
“I’ll get rid of it… … !”
Phew!
He pulled back the bow with all his might and fired a single golden arrow.
Skill, Scatter Arrows.
The arrow that flew towards the one who attacked him suddenly split into thousands of arrows.
Arrows that could easily shatter rocks hit the ground like a shower.
Quagwagwa!
The arrows instantly razed half the rooftop of the building.
“Eek… … !”
The Undercovers players barely managed to avoid the hail of arrows, but there was no guarantee that they would be able to dodge the next one.
Because he put his next foot on the protest.
And again, a second scattered arrow left the protest.
at that time.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wall of flame suddenly appeared and blocked the flying arrows.
A look of displeasure crossed the archer’s face.
On the other hand, the faces of the Undercovers people brightened.
Because the flames were blue in color.
“Where are my employees?!”
The only player in Undercovers who can handle blue flames.
Cheonghwa Guild Master, Jin Ga-ryeong.
Hurrah!
She began to grapple with the archer who had taken the Golden Ring, with her fist wrapped in hot, condensed flames.
Kwaaaaah!
So all the snipers except the archer she was holding were dealt with.
And as a signal, the players who dealt with the sniper broke a potion bottle that gave off red smoke when broken to signal the other players.
“The signal fire has been raised.”
All of the close combat units on the elf side are in a state of trembling due to the wall-bombing.
All long-range sniper units have been dealt with.
Now there was only one thing left for Undercover to do.
Annihilation.
“Hit!”
Undercover and Cheonghwa Guild troops who had been hiding all around the stadium poured out.
Some of the elven archbishops who saw that opened a portal and tried to retreat.
But the players did not allow this.
Chijik-
puck!!
A black lightning bolt that flies in from somewhere and strikes in a straight line.
The lightning struck the archbishop who opened the portal right through his chest.
The portal remained closed.
“Eek… … !”
“Black lightning… …?”
The one who struck this lightning was Ma Chang-sa, Woo Jun-young.
He is the strongest among the disciples raised by Youngsoo, and is also one of the strongest within Undercover.
It was he who announced the start of this war.
‘thunderstorm.’
Skill, activation.
The moment Junyoung lowered the window, dozens of black lightning bolts struck from the sky.
Quagwagwa!!
“Ugh!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
The elves were literally swept away in front of Junyoung’s spear.
It was because Junyoung was strong, but also because the effects of the Geumhwandan were forcibly removed, making all the elves weaker than usual.
Besides, Junyoung wasn’t the only one who participated.
“The red robes are the rank of archbishop.”
“Those at the Archbishop level have the authority to open and close portals. Kill the Red Robes first!”
Undercover and Cheonghwa’s interpersonal combat specialists began to pinpoint the Archbishops.
It was Youngsoo’s order.
This operation would have failed if the archbishops opened a portal and retreated.
The goal of this operation is to drive them here and annihilate them here.
In addition, many of the troops on Youngsu’s side had memories of losing their comrades or family members to the elves’ guerrilla-style massacre.
They brandished their weapons with that resentment, that hatred.
The wheels of war began to roll, and they would not stop until every elf was crushed beneath them.
The slaughter has begun.
Humans trampled, pierced, burned, and destroyed the elves.
The archbishops were assassinated in an instant, the path of retreat was blocked, and those who managed to escape on foot were showered with vengeance from above.
A gust of wind that cuts through skin, fireballs that fall like showers.
The wide-area skills of Spirit Master So Se-hwa and Elementalist Noh Ji-an began to destroy even those who were running away.
‘…no.’
The commander-in-chief, Cardinal Seurat, barely managed to get up, leaning on his spear.
‘If this continues, we will all be wiped out… …!’
The iron man gripped the spear tightly.
The name of this window is Basilis the Breastspear.
It is a weapon of the highest hazard level, and is difficult to export without special permission from the King.
‘If I use this on my body right now, I will definitely die.’
but…….
‘If you don’t use it, you’re all destroyed.’
Zzuzuzuzu-
He poured his mana into the chest of the iron dragon.
The dozens of bones attached to the spear began to grow larger and more numerous.
At the same time, the gap between the bones that were forming the frame began to be filled with swollen, black flesh.
At the end of the crater, a giant creature began to grow.
“uh……?”
“What, what… … ?!”
A huge black snake, more than 50 meters long, raised its head.
Sora muttered.
“…welcome the snake.”
Its entire body was covered in jagged bones, and cobra-like crests grew all over its body.
The pores all over his body were spewing out poison.
Players who saw it felt their bodies stiffen.
Of course, there were some brave ones among them.
“Hit!”
Pubberbubung!
Several long-range magic shots struck the snake’s body.
But the damaged area was quickly repaired with squelching chunks of flesh.
The snake began to move.
“Sahaaak!”
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
A black tsunami struck.
As soon as it passed by, the ground began to crack apart and everything it touched began to decay.
Humans began to appear one after another, clutching at their melting flesh and screaming.
The tables have turned.
The humans began to retreat, and the elves began to regain their courage.
At a time when everything could have gone wrong.
Damn it.
Gapseok stepped forward alone.
