Episode 69 – Stop the coming death
#One
The day after I finished work.
Hwanwoong arrived at one of the most popular pagodas in South Korea.
The most popular genre among the numerous themes.
It was a siege.
Also, the battle against endless waves of enemies was one of the favorite genres of Koreans.
Therefore, the area near the tower was always crowded with people.
Along with Internet broadcasting and YouTube, tower climbing has also become a profession, so people flock there even on weekdays.
“I’ll be back.”
“I hope you win.”
Hwanwoong sets out on his way while listening to Himchan’s always calm cheering.
The lobby was very noisy with people selling potions, people looking for crew members, and people spreading miscellaneous news.
Hwanwoong quickly entered the game before anyone noticed him.
Total stages are 20.
It was a tower that blocked enemies from coming in without a time limit.
Because there was no PvP element, it was also a tower that many people visited to light up.
The background changed and I felt the air becoming suffocating.
‘Musty smell. The smell of a rotting corpse… … . People with weak stomachs won’t be able to handle this, right?’
No matter how unreal it may be, your five senses are stimulated.
Even though it was virtual reality, I wondered how a person with a weak stomach would endure it.
As I looked around, I saw people moving around busily.
These people have swelled in size thanks to their quilted armor.
His face was covered in oil, grime, and blood, and it looked as if his soul had gone out.
Broken walls could be seen here and there, and the footsteps of those carrying weapons and arrows could be heard loudly.
This is a battlefield.
It was a battlefield where our backs were turned to the ground we were supposed to protect.
“at las! The summoning ritual was successful!”
“Ah, has a savior appeared!?”
And, like any other media cliché, the climber is a hero who appears for them.
It was a setting that gave one a strange sense of catharsis, and at the same time, it was a tower that could fill one’s self-esteem.
Hwanung looked at the faces of those approaching.
It was hard to tell whether they too had gone through all the hardships.
He was proving with his whole body that he was not comfortable at the commander or executive level.
Amid shouts and cheers echoing here and there, a deep voice pierced Hwanwoong’s ears.
“Thank you for responding to my summons. “My name is Alex, the lord of the castle.”
“This is Hwanwoong.”
“Would you like me to explain the situation first, or…” … .”
[The stage will start in a moment.]
[Stage 1]
[Fend off waves of enemies for 30 minutes.]
[Monsters that appear: Zombie, Ghoul, Wraith, Crypt Ogre]
30 minutes.
If it was short, it was short; if it was long, it was a long time.
Hwanung walked towards the wall and opened a subspace.
First of all, the summons should also listen to the situation.
“From the terrain rather than the situation. Please quickly brief me on where we are vulnerable, where we should focus our defenses, and what defense facilities and towers we have.”
“This… … ? “I understand.”
The summoned beasts walked out one after another.
The surrounding soldiers gaped in surprise when they saw this.
Unless you are a necromancer or elementalist, it is impossible for an individual to summon a summoned beast.
Everyone looked at Hwanwoong as if they were looking at a ghost.
“Master, this place… … .”
“This is the place we need to defend.”
“All right.”
Lucas looked around.
Meanwhile, Seongju Alex, who had come out of shock, opened his mouth.
“Let me explain. To the left is a tower with an archer. You can add 1 cannon and pour oil. Just below are stationed one hundred soldiers with halberds and fifty soldiers with swords and shields.”
“What is the level of defense?”
“The wall on the left has never been breached before. The main attack route is the front and right wall with the Cursed Forest.”
Hwanung immediately turned and headed towards the right wall.
As the enemy’s attack became more concentrated, more manpower was gathered, and the walls of the castle were also seen broken here and there.
They carried shells and prepared harpoons with strings.
Most wars were wars of expendable goods.
Without basic weapons, the cruelty of humans being reduced to expendable items was seen.
In particular, fighting against monsters without reason will be even more severe.
“The main weapons are harpoons with strings, magic, and consecrated arrows, but honestly, the number is not enough.”
“If we could draw the enemy’s attention from the front, wouldn’t it be less of a burden for those on the walls?”
“sure! “It goes without saying!”
Hwanwoong looked back at the summoned beasts.
We plan to evolve the R grade 10 to SR grade today.
As for the rest, well, I guess I can take my time.
He opened his mouth.
“Did everyone hear that?”
“yes-! master!”
A loud answer was heard all at once.
The attention of those around me was immediately drawn to the loud ringing sound.
“Hehehehe! I am so glad that trustworthy people came in the midst of despair. “If you have any supplies, feel free to use them.”
“Of course. Then we will go out of the gate.”
“If it’s dangerous, call us at any time.”
It won’t be that difficult.
This castle and walls that had to endure 20 stages were by no means weak.
We parted ways with them and headed towards the castle gate.
Hwanwoong called out to Lucas, who continued to look around.
“Do you know this place too?”
“yes. It seems so. “I haven’t experienced it, but it’s probably [the Battle of Tanaverin Defense].”
“It’s a story from the past.”
“It seems so… … .”
Lucas’ expression suddenly darkened.
How painful it must be for him to see the reality that he was unable to protect in the past unfolding before his eyes.
He told the story of that day as if he was complaining to Hwanung.
“This was the Eastern Front. “It was the front line of humanity, flanked by endless forests and wastelands home to warlocks.”
“hmm… … .”
“I heard that Fort Tanaverin was peaceful as always. Until this invasion… … .”
In other words, this moment is the ‘end time’ of Lucas’ world.
The expressions of the summoned beasts darkened after hearing his words.
For someone who has experienced destruction, what does it feel like to experience an irreversible past again?
There will be pain that you can’t even imagine.
A whirlwind of emotions that cannot be described in words.
Hwanung wanted to communicate with his emotions a little more, but time did not allow.
[Stage 1]
[Time remaining: 30:00]
[Uuuuuuuu-!]
An undead that was brought back to life by forcing other things into the corpse of a dead ogre.
The cry of the Crypt Ogre rang out like a deafening sound.
Afterwards, the entire forest trembled.
“This is not the time to be sentimental. The fact that you can’t change the past… … “I know best.”
“… … .”
Lucas stepped forward, emitting golden aura like a torch.
Godric and Diana were naturally positioned next to him.
Whoa whoa-!
Ghouls came rushing in on all fours, followed by a group of zombies running slowly.
“Now we just move forward. “I will follow the teachings given by the Master to the lackey squire.”
“Well, it’s reliable.”
I guess I should repay that trust.
As always, we plan to support the battle through efficient command and intervention at the right time.
To stop the coming death, they took up swords again today.
#2
The soldiers on the walls cowered in fear.
Sounds shaking the ground, zombies and ghouls rising from the dead and crying with hardened vocal cords… … .
The energy of the dead, which is completely different from that of living monsters, rushes in like a tidal wave.
It was a battle that was demoralizing just by looking at it.
“that… … “Is it really okay?”
“They say they are like that, so what can they do? “I can’t do it, really.”
“Aren’t you from another world and don’t know what undead are? “In what spirit did you go in there?”
The only people who were able to come to their senses were the people from another world who seemed even more crazy than they were.
I couldn’t understand what the hell they had in mind to crawl out of the castle walls.
Do they even have nine lives?
As the soldiers glanced at Hwanwoong’s summoned beasts, they saw a golden aura shining.
A golden aura that shines like a torch that gently lights up the darkness.
The knight’s aura shining in front of the castle gate slightly pushed away the fear that was filling their hearts.
A different appearance from the knights of the Holy Kingdom who destroy evil in the distance.
“Huh… … .”
“There was a part of me that believed in it.”
“The knights, they are really strong knights!”
‘perhaps… … A very small hope arose.
At that moment, the loud voices of the commanders rang out.
“Load arrows! “Get your mind straight!”
“If you squeal like a child because you’re scared, I’ll be the first to drop you!”
“Hold the spear straight! If you miss that, your salary and your life will be gone!”
The shouts of commanders that remind you that you are nervous but that your comrades are always there.
With the constant cry of encouragement telling them to just do what they were trained to do, they each pointed out their weapons.
Strangely, most of the undead moved as if they were guided by a golden aura.
Those who are tightly blocking the castle walls.
Will they be able to stop the turbid current of death?
The soldiers suddenly held their breath to watch the first clash between them and the dead man.
feeze!
A ghoul with a club raised pounded on the enemy’s square.
Someone who thought they would be helplessly attacked closed their eyes tightly.
An action born of the terrible imagination of being crushed by an army of death pouring down from above.
but-.
“Oooh-!”
“hey! Look over there! X Shina! Look over there!”
“uh-?”
Crumbling!
It feels like thunder is hitting from below instead of from the sky.
The soldier slowly opened his eyes to the sound that was pounding in his chest and opened his mouth wide.
The golden aura, which was soft like a torch, was suddenly illuminating the path ahead like a lighthouse on the night sea.
#3
Lucas blocked all senses and focused only on cutting down the enemy.
The more I moved the sword, the more vague memories began to seep into me.
In his memories, he did not swing his sword like this.
A little more thuggish, a little more bold.
Guys like zombies and ghouls burned to death as soon as they touched the aura he was emitting.
His only targets were the big guys.
However, a question suddenly occurred to me.
‘Did such swordsmanship help protect people?’
A sword used only to cut down powerful enemies.
The golden knight’s sword, which protects humanity, began to become obsessed with cutting down bigger and stronger enemies.
Why didn’t I know that?
No, no.
‘Looking back, did you remember that?’
Humans are inherently like that.
You can look back only after a long time has passed, and you can only improve if you can fully accept the imperfections of that time.
Lucas felt exactly like that.
Traces of battle appear sporadically.
The decisions and movements I made were wrong.
The bad habits still remain, and it became an opportunity to reflect on my current self.
[Uuuuuu-!]
The ghoul attacks.
An extremely simple attack.
If it had been like before, I would have ignored it and just ran forward.
Because it was more efficient that way.
But not now.
I didn’t bother to move my sword and attack.
Compared to running forward, it did not require much stamina.
However, the results were very different.
“Nice toss!”
Quaaaaang-!
There is a being who boldly blows away ghouls with the back of his sword, creating a hole in the enemy’s camp.
Arrows, swords, and daggers fly from behind to assist his movements.
“Okay, everyone works together and moves organically!”
Above all, there was a master who coordinated everything behind his back.
Lucas believed them all and was finally able to relieve the heavy burden that had been weighing on his shoulders his entire life.
[Lucas’ Trial: ‘???’ has been unlocked.]
[Correction of own swordsmanship: 1/1]
