Episode 72 – To the Cursed Forest
#One
[End of Stage 2]
[A 30-minute break is provided.]
[…] … .]
“Whoa! it was good.”
“Thank you for your hard work. “Savior.”
“how was it?”
Hwanung released his possession and asked Godric.
Godric responded by lowering his head and getting down on one knee.
A truly awe-inspiring battle.
The sight of him shrouding his body in sacred flames and crushing his enemies was truly a savior.
There was also a cult that dealt with flames that purify evil.
Those who serve the god of fire.
It was so sacred, as if I was seeing their apostle.
“It was the best.”
“I’m glad. “Let’s go up first.”
“yes.”
Thanks to Hwanwoong’s rampage from the middle, Godric and the R-class vanguard could only watch.
Although I was a little embarrassed by the undead attracted to the flames, I looked like a moth due to Hwanwoong’s endless mana.
The spirit that had lifted its possession sat behind Hwanung.
[many. Mana.]
“okay.”
[I am in awe. Infinite power.]
A spirit that uses words that seem like something you’ve seen in a game.
Hwanung stroked Prama’s chin and entered the castle gate.
This time, louder cheers were heard.
Seongju approached and held Hwanwoong’s hand tightly, as if he was about to bow.
“It was truly amazing!”
“thank you.”
“How can I express my gratitude…” … . “What can we do?”
“We’re heading deep into the forest.”
At those words, Seongju Alex’s complexion hardened.
Did you say you were going into that forest now?
To that hellish place full of undead?
“No matter how heroic you are, wouldn’t that be too much?”
“I knew that would be the case and tried to focus on defense, but the situation changed.”
“but… … .”
I knew what Seongju was worried about.
Firstly, it was for Hwanwoong’s safety, and secondly, it was because he was afraid that he might ask him to hand over his soldiers.
Hwanung calmly opened his mouth as if he knew everything.
“You probably have some concerns. The castle soldiers should focus on defense. “You won’t be able to eliminate all the undead in 30 minutes.”
“Are you sure you don’t need soldiers?”
“yes. Instead, I will take some of the potions I took earlier.”
Alex nodded frantically.
No matter how much of a hero he was, he couldn’t entrust a bloody soldier to someone who didn’t know whether he would live or die.
Even if it was selfish, I couldn’t help it.
He had a duty to protect his people who were shivering in this city.
A family that has protected this land for a long time.
When asked what the driving force was, my father always said that.
Those who work on this land and those who love this land are what made us rich.
“Take as much as you want. “I have no shame because I cannot provide any help.”
“Stand, Lord Seong!”
nobility.
It was not uncommon for the Seongju to bow his head.
A deep bow at the waist with one hand on the chest and the other hand facing backwards, which is not a military ritual.
It was a soldier’s attitude that was only used when extreme courtesy was required.
“I have a duty to protect this castle and those who live within it.”
“That’s right.”
“Thank you so much for your understanding. They too… … “They are someone’s sons.”
Hwanwoong smiled and nodded.
This reminds me of the old days.
The unit I served in didn’t have this kind of atmosphere.
There is a famous saying.
‘When I enlisted, I was a son of my country, when I got hurt… … .’
Those words came to mind, but I forgot them for now.
Because I was discharged in good health.
“I don’t hate commanders like Lord Seong.”
“… … .”
At that moment, a subspace opened.
Oh, is it finally finished?
“Did you wait long? Well, it’s finished. Special potion!”
thud.
The chest was placed on the ground, and the crimson-colored potion inside gave off a soft glow.
Seongju and Hwanwoong carefully took out a bottle and examined it.
“This… … .”
“It’s exactly 5 times the power of the potion I took earlier. “If you dilute it, you can enjoy the miracle of five loaves and two fish!”
“Five bottles… … “What do you mean?”
“ha ha ha! Our partner will explain it well. “Hey, if you catch a monster in the forest, be sure to call me.”
Odern is still my pace.
Seongju sighed softly and looked at Hwanwoong.
The look in their eyes as if they were wondering what the hell was five loaves of bread and two fish.
“what… … ‘We fed a large number of people with a small amount of food.’ You can understand it to that extent. “It’s magical.”
“Hehe, I see. Just by looking at him, he appears to be a skilled alchemist.”
“Let’s try it first.”
Hwanung tried using the potion on the wounded soldiers.
The performance was definitely outstanding.
All cases were treatable as long as the limbs were not pulverized.
“This… … “That’s amazing.”
“It will last a long time. “What on earth is that guy?”
Diana, who watched the scene, asked.
Odern is a self-willed person, but the potions he makes are much more effective than those sold on the market.
Thanks to this, we were able to significantly save on fixed expenses.
Hwanwoong shrugged his shoulders and answered that he didn’t know.
He’s just a mysterious person.
‘Anyway, Odern, doesn’t that guy give you growth quests or something?’
He said that strength comes from other ways than growth.
That part also needs to be clearly addressed.
If your abilities are amplified, you will be able to use high-quality potions.
Potions that will make even N or R grade useful in an emergency.
Hwanung hoped that a quest related to Odern would appear soon and handed several potions to Seongju.
He then distributed the remaining potions to the SR grade summons and said.
“We will keep the rest. If you dilute it, it will be enough to sustain you.”
“Thank you. I’m sure it will hold up.”
“We will leave immediately after the next offensive. Let’s stop it properly just once.”
“Of course.”
Time was running out to leave now.
It would be better to clear one more stage and then start right away.
I was at a crossroads of choice.
Choice of how to block stage 3.
‘Using spirits to stop it. There must be a standard method and the method used in stage 1.’
The warlock and summoning circle in that forest.
If you take control of it, you can kill whatever comes out.
So-called ‘spawn kill’ is possible.
It was a strategy that aroused curiosity about what was inside the forest.
To get there, a climber of outstanding skill was needed.
And during the 30-minute break, I had to run like crazy to where the summoning circle was.
The moment you are even a little late, you will have to face the undead army without walls or reinforcements.
Hwanung closed his eyes and thought.
What is needed for the operation and what are the priorities… … .
‘Let’s save the elite as much as possible and use the R grade and the troops in the castle. You can also remove one of the iron golems.’
If you use a golem, you can push the forest like a bulldozer.
If you think of it as a means of transportation, you should keep one even in the worst moments.
Various plans and variables passed through his mind.
Gradually, the outline was drawn up, and all that remained was to put it into action.
“Prama, how much strength do you have left?”
[I make a living. Contractor power. It’s infinite. thus.]
“It’s positive.”
Should I come forward this time too?
Hwanwoong thought so, but decided to also consider the growth of Lucas and Miho.
Since we are not receiving military support, we will have to find the main shrine here.
He called his summons and explained the operation.
“I’m going to go standard this time. “Defend the castle walls with the golem.”
“All right.”
“What are you going to do with the ogres?”
If we didn’t intercept the guys outside the castle gate, it might eventually break through.
If that happens, a catastrophe will occur.
“I’m going to place a golem in front.”
“All right.”
In times like this, it would have been really convenient to have a sniper.
It was just a shame that there wasn’t a summon like that yet.
What can I do?
We have no choice but to intercept them one by one with the power of the spirit and Gina.
“Use passing sniping magic to mainly target those threatening the castle wall.”
“okay. “Please leave it to me.”
The operation was roughly set up.
Now all that’s left is to replenish your strength through sufficient rest and continuous drawing.
30 minutes passed like that.
#2
The battle still raged on.
A defensive battle centered around Gina and Prama’s fire magic.
The golem was extremely strong, and the soldiers on top of the walls also fought overwhelmingly well.
25 minutes like that.
As the offensive neared its end, Hwanwoong began to move.
This operation was simple.
Using an iron golem with overwhelming mass.
It was an ignorant strategy that only Hwanwoong could do that other climbers could not do.
“Let’s all go!”
“yes-!”
The summoners answered in unison.
Their bodies were close to those of superhumans, so climbing down the castle wall was nothing.
Hwanwoong also received Gina’s buff and landed on the giant golem’s shoulder.
The two golems began to advance.
“Uh huh-?”
“Where are you going now!?”
“You’re not going to the forest, are you? Are you abandoning us?”
The soldiers’ embarrassment grew.
Where are you going and abandoning us when the atmosphere is so good?
However, there was nothing they could do as they were just soldiers.
Because I was busy hitting the guys climbing up the castle wall right away.
Kuuuung-!
Meanwhile, the golem advanced toward the forest, crushing the undead.
This is possible because there is a golem.
If you don’t have enough time, wouldn’t it be better to start first?
“Everyone is good at intercepting. “If the golem collapses, it will be a pain in the ass.”
“All right!”
Every time the golem moved its feet, the forest got closer.
As I was on my shoulder, I could see the thick, black flood at a glance.
There should be a summoning circle where there is a black lake in the distance.
“Let’s go find the black lake.”
The golem seemed to have understood Hwanung’s words and advanced with its eyes shining.
When I looked back, I saw that there were almost no undead heading towards the castle.
Aggro seemed to be naturally attracted to the golem, a moving strategic weapon.
If the castle lord dies or all soldiers are killed, you are eliminated.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like that would happen.
From time to time, there were more than a few climbers who were eliminated due to being robbed of empty houses during live broadcasts.
Do you even have time to worry about that now?
“A siege weapon that erases the terrain is coming, and we have to stop it first.”
Hwanung chuckled from his shoulder on top of the golem.
Protect the castle, secure summons, choose video angles, and receive rewards!
There were so many benefits that could be gained by going into the forest.
[End of Stage 3]
[A 30-minute break is provided.]
While moving forward frantically, the offensive was halted.
The golem was scratched here and there and chunks of iron fell off, but the power source was unharmed.
It was truly a weapon that could move infinitely as long as Hwanwoong supplied it with mana.
To speed up the process, he summoned all the miscellaneous summoned beasts to subspace and gave the order again.
Run.
“Everyone hold on tight!”
“This is so much fun!”
Diana, who was riding on the other shoulder, cheered as if she was riding an amusement ride.
Every time I took a step, the trees broke and the ground turned over.
Thick dust rose up, making the surrounding area hazy.
How long did it run like that?
A black lake was visible in the distance.
At the same time, a familiar message occurred to Hwanwoong.
[You have found the summoning circle.]
