Episode 207. Maestro Volcan of the Battlefield (14)
‘Bone Armor!’
Volkan, facing Charon, immediately used his technique.
Knock knock knock.
Tens of thousands of bones moved in unison, wrapping themselves around Volcan.
Kkuddeok!
Soon, the area around Volcan was engulfed in pitch-black darkness.
A place where even light dare not invade.
That was the power of the ‘Bone Armor’ created by Volkan.
“Whew… … That was dangerous. I almost died.”
Volkan wiped the sweat dripping down his forehead.
Who would have thought that I would meet the Empire’s rat, Charon, right in front of me? It was not good for my heart in many ways.
Charon is a friend to both allies and enemies.
Because it was a symbol of fear.
Volkan looked around, wondering if there might be a hole, and then became lost in thought.
‘Let’s calm down. The defense of this armor is absolute. The problem is… … .’
The inability to move.
At first, it was a magic that gave it the form of armor, but after a few years of use, it grew to its current size.
From the outside, it would look like a giant ball of bones woven together.
It is a magic that has a big drawback in that not only can you not move, but you cannot see the outside situation because all directions are blocked centered around the caster.
It couldn’t be said that Volkan had any shortcomings.
‘Because all the skeletons on the battlefield are my eyes and my body.’
A faint smile appeared on Volkan’s lips as he finished his thoughts.
It may seem like we are in a crisis, but in reality it is the opposite.
Charon will not be able to kill himself, and 5th Legion Commander Crowley will be resurrected soon… … .
‘You’ll be bowing your head to me.’
Not only the commander, but all living things on the continent will kneel at his feet.
‘Don’t panic. Resurrecting Crowley is our top priority.’
It was when Volkan was trying to check the situation on the battlefield through the skull.
Crack.
‘hmm?’
Volkan looked around because he heard an unidentifiable sound.
Crackle- Crackle!
Even the sound grew louder.
Soon Volkan realized. Someone.
That he was attacking his own ‘bone armor’.
And that someone, of course… … .
‘Car, Caron!?’
It was the empire’s rat, Charon.
Volkan could see his consciousness focused on a skeleton outside.
I saw Caron swinging his dagger like crazy.
‘You’re trying to break a bone filled with mana… …! No, you’re already breaking it!’
At first I laughed.
Because what he was covering himself with right now was a thick bone armor that was 5 meters thick.
It was also made pointy here and there like a hedgehog.
It is a ‘bone armor’ that is structured so that even the opponent who attacks it will receive damage since it is fully infused with mana.
Due to the nature of bones, which become sharper the more they break or shatter, attacking them at close range is nothing short of madness.
however…….
Twitch! Kagagagagak!!
There was a guy who did that crazy thing without any problem.
“That crazy guy!”
A curse came out of Volkan’s mouth without warning.
This armor was made with the spirit of craftsmanship, step by step, whenever I had time, over several years.
From Charon’s perspective, it would feel like he was excessively cutting down a huge wall.
Moreover, each bone of this armor is like a sword filled with 6-star mana.
This means that it is not a magic that can be broken by the body without any knowledge.
‘Do you have any special techniques or artifacts that help you defend your body?’
No, that’s not it.
Because blood was flowing out from various parts of Caron’s body.
then…….
‘Are you saying that you’re just ignorantly going through it with your body… …!’
It was amazing that he could break bones that were as sharp as a sword, but it was even more amazing that he could endure the pain.
I’m moving forward while silently enduring the pain of being cut by a knife.
only.
With one thought in mind: to tear the opponent apart and kill him.
Crunch!
Thud-.
A small piece of bone fell to the ground at Volkan’s feet.
At the same time, a ray of light illuminated Volcan.
It was a very small hole, maybe about 1cm across, but maybe it was because it was pitch-black.
The pure white light stood out even more.
‘It seems to represent my desire to live in a sunny place.’
Was it because the sight was so beautiful?
Volkan found himself lost in thought without realizing it.
“Yangjira… … I had times like that too.”
There was a time when I was playing outside with ‘her’.
It was that very moment.
The light that had been illuminating Volcan disappeared, and something else took its place.
Something that was shiny and bloody.
Volkan, who was looking at something, soon realized. That is.
That they are the eyes of Charon.
“Just wait there. I’ll get it out to you in a minute.”
“… … .”
The dialogue is certainly touching, but why does it make me feel scared?
Volcano didn’t want to go out into the sunlight anymore.
The shade was just right for him.
But telling Caron this thought wouldn’t change the outcome.
‘Either way, it’ll all be the same, buried under the ground.’
Even though I occupy the position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, why do I have so little dignity?
Look at that sight right in front of your eyes. You’ll be lucky if you don’t pee yourself.
‘I’m not a madman like the creator of madness! I’m a human too, a human!’
Anyway, Volkan, who faced reality, immediately focused his mind.
I scanned the battlefield, going back and forth between skeletons like crazy.
Volkan is usually a laid-back person, but at this moment, he had no choice but to act quickly.
But Caron’s actions also became faster.
‘You gave up on fighting. I guess you’re still weak in one-on-one combat.’
It seemed like he had focused on developing his strategy, evasion, and defensive abilities.
‘Rather than saying it’s stupid… … it’s natural.’
A structure that not only automatically recovers the body, but also automatically multiplies troops and becomes stronger as stronger enemies are killed.
What if these guys, who are only 1-2 thousand now, grow into a legion of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?
‘I don’t even want to imagine it… … !’
Knock! Card knock!
As they went towards Volcan, the wounds on Charon’s body increased.
But no matter how many wounds or how great the pain.
There was no stopping Charon’s advance.
‘The remaining distance is about 3m.’
Volcan didn’t show any particular reaction.
They may have given up on resistance, may be focusing on resurrecting Crowley, or may be devising a new strategy.
Caron decided to try a conversation mixed with psychological warfare.
It may disrupt the enemy’s thinking, but the decision was made to extract as much information as possible before killing them.
“You said Volcan? That’s a great power. Why would you use that power for bad things?”
“… … .”
“The Empire values ??those with talent. Why not surrender and work for the Empire?”
“… … Do you think I don’t know about your dirty intentions of killing me as soon as I leave?”
“As I said before, I’m just trying to get you out. I’ve decided that you’re not the type of person to stay in the shadows.”
“What are you going to use this power of death for? It’s obvious that you’re going to start another war. The war you guys love to die for!”
At first he tried not to join in the conversation, but Volkan couldn’t stand it anymore.
How can you be so stubborn and say you’ll accept me as a talented person when I’m a murderer who has killed countless people?
Ever since he gained the power to raise skeletons and the power to control death, Volkan has always thought about it.
This is it.
It was God’s will that I punish the murderers with my own hands.
‘This power is for killing the opponent. It is a power specialized for that.’
That was the moment I thought so.
“It can be used for agriculture.”
“what?”
“I saw earlier that you were able to carry out detailed orders, and you were also quite strong. What I liked most was your ability to heal yourself even if you were injured.”
From gathering raw materials, to construction, to espionage, to fighting beasts and demons.
The potential uses were endless.
Volkan couldn’t help but pause. He had never thought about it that way.
Volkan wanted to hear a little more about Caron, even though he couldn’t completely cool down the anger that had built up over a long time.
“… … Is that so? Then stop right there. Then I will listen to the story in detail.”
“… … .”
Bam! Kagagagagak!
Kagakak!
But Charon’s movements did not stop. Rather, his speed became faster.
It was natural for Volkan to swear.
“You, you dirty imperial dog! Lying is so commonplace!”
“What did you just say? I couldn’t hear you clearly over the sound of bones cracking.”
“I’ll just listen to everything else! That’s enough! I won’t mess with your tricks anymore!”
Charon was tempted. Unlike the creator of madness, was he a man who could be persuaded?
But Volkan’s demands could not be met.
Because while he was still advancing, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that Volkan might come up with another plan.
This decision was also influenced by the imminent resurrection of Crowley.
“But I really do think you are a great talent. Don’t you think it would be a waste to waste your talents like this?”
“Don’t worry. It’ll be you who dies, not me.”
“… … .”
“Let’s see… How should I kill you? Should I blow you up? Like the little rats you raised?”
Towering-.
Charon’s movements, which seemed like they would never stop, stopped.
Volkan thought it was an unexpected result.
I thought that the cool-headed Caron would just laugh it off.
‘Well, whatever. What’s important is that we’ve bought time. Crowley’s resurrection is just around the corner. In five minutes… no, three minutes… . . ‘
It was when Volkan was calculating the time.
A sharp blade rose above Charon’s dagger. And.
Shukagagagagagak!
Kagagagagagagak!
He started beating the armor like crazy and breaking it.
It was three times faster than before.
Volkan couldn’t help but be terrified. Three minutes would be a long time before it would be strange for his own neck to fall off.
What the hell is that rat talking about… …!
“Caron! What makes you different from me!”
In fact, it was the same for Caron to send his subordinates to the temple.
Even colleagues who had been together for a long time were often sent to more remote areas.
but.
At least Charon.
“Don’t use your comrade’s corpse as a bomb!”
Kagagagagagak!
The armor literally started to fall apart.
Volkan was crazy and jumping for joy.
The enemy forces that had been separated are getting closer.
Crowley needs a little more time to wake up.
It looks like Caron will be right before our eyes at any moment!
‘There is one more spleen number, but… … .’
More time was needed.
If things had gone according to plan, this guy should have gotten up a long time ago, but he ended up using up more mana than expected to clean up the battlefield where Adonis was running wild.
‘Damn it! I have no choice. I have no choice but to gamble… … .’
It’s not Volkan’s style to risk his life on odds.
But in a situation like now, I had no choice but to rely on luck.
Taaak!
Volkan snapped his fingers, killing all the warlocks who had been infusing mana into the Legion Commander’s bones.
‘It doesn’t matter if some of Volkan’s bones are broken. The important thing is the skull.’
The target is Adonis and Lucia, who are running wild around Crowley.
Even if it didn’t kill him, it was enough to inflict serious injury.
Volkan, who had finished thinking, opened his mouth.
“Body explosion!”
* * *
‘Caron caught it… …!’
The very moment Charon faced Volcan.
Adonis was also trying to head towards Volcan.
but.
Boom!
A powerful magic struck Adonis’ heart.
‘……no way!’
Gogogogogo-!
The inverted pentacle behind Crowley’s body began to glow black and gradually rise.
It was a sign that resurrection was imminent.
Kwarrung-!
Phuuk! Phuuk!
Just a moment ago, two black magicians were gasping for breath on the floor from the shock of being knocked out of the magic circle.
Adonis cut off the two’s heads in an instant and flew towards the magic circle.
And together with Aleste, he began to attack the magic circle surrounding Crowley.
Boom bang bang bang bang!
Kwarreung-!
It was the moment when the magic circle gradually lost its power.
“Coolook!”
Aleister groaned as he lay face down.
It was because I ran out of mana.
‘It’s because I thoughtlessly used magic in the beginning. How could I make such a basic mistake… … What an idiot!’
The good news is that the weakening of the magic circle is visibly apparent.
“Grandpa! Get in!”
While Adonis and Eleister were away from the front lines, Lucia took part in many battles.
Lucia, who noticed that fact, immediately swung her sword.
A technique that has a narrow range, but can deliver the strongest blow to a single point.
The fourth secret of the Lucid family.
Splitting the sky.
Tsk tsk tsk-!!
In an instant, the magic circle split in half.
It was literally a short moment, but it was enough time for Adonis to get inside.
Kwarreung-!
Adonis immediately swung his spear.
one.
two.
three.
It was at that very moment that I was about to kill the last warlock.
dump-.
The warlock fell down, as if he had fainted.
It was a strangely alienating sight.
Adonis soon realized why.
The sight of the warlocks we were trying to capture suddenly dying. It was exactly the same.
And then next time, definitely… … .
“… … !!”
Tukwaang!!
A huge explosion.
The shock from the explosion created a rift in the magic circle, and Adonis rolled out of it.
‘That was a close call.’
Adonis cut off the hem of his burning robe.
If he hadn’t seen it first on the battlefield, he would have been caught in that explosion and died.
His life was saved, but the crisis was not over yet.
The aura of the inverted pentagram was gradually growing stronger.
‘I killed all the warlocks. But you still can’t stop?’
It was then that a nearby skeleton suddenly stood up and snapped its mouth shut.
“Hahaha! I won! The Legion Commander is resurrected! Right here, I will sentence the Continent to death!”
“… … Volcan!”
“Kuuuuu! The ritual is over. All that’s left is to stand up.”
“Caron will soon cut off your head?”
“Say whatever you want! Crowley will bring death to you instead of me!”
Everyone thought it was over. Except one.
Except Lucia.
“It would be a problem if you forget a pretty girl like me.”
“Lucia? What can a person like you do?”
“Don’t you know that you’re wasting time? The ritual isn’t even over yet?”
“… … !”
“Sorry, but I’ve killed more warlocks than people. It’s obvious what you’re up to. I’ll take that as punishment.”
The neck of the legion commander.
Lucia, who had been mumbling like that with her mouth shape, kicked the ground.
The mana I had been collecting for a long time. I shot it out in a straight line.
The second secret of the Lucid family.
Piercing Mount Tai.
Oh my gosh-!!
As the rear pillar completely collapsed, the magic circle that had been hanging diagonally on the pillar fell down.
The magic circle that had been protecting Crowley had completely disappeared.
Boom! Kookoogugugugu!
A tremendous noise and pieces of rock flying everywhere.
As the great ground rumble ceased, Lucia raised her hand and shouted.
“I won!”
That was the moment.
Fizz- Fizz! Fizz!
A black inverted oblong rose from the dust.
It was a dark retrograde oblong that was clearly visible even in the thick dust.
Kuung!
A huge hand bone burst through the dust and touched the ground.
The ground shook. It was louder than when Crowley’s entire body fell.
A huge skull slowly rose. Just looking at it was ominous.
With burning purple eyes.
Goooooooooo-!
In the past, Crowley, the commander of the 5th Legion, destroyed the Rohan Kingdom and buried 10% of humanity in the ground.
It was the moment when he reappeared in this world.
