Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 245
Only Noblemtl
Season 3: Episode 53
Second Step, Accompanying the Leading Payquerier (8)
“It’s a beginning.”
The moment Renault leapt out from Vinessa’s scabbard, his sword pouring out light, the clash began.
Necrons are masters of necromancy.
As long as there were corpses, they could raise an army, and in battles with that army, they could raise dead enemies with necromancy to further increase the army.
However, this explanation only applies to regular Necrons.
The primitive armies commanded by the three highest-ranking ministers, the Falk-Shad, were of various forms.
“It’s a crazy, fusion entity!”
The primitive armies of the Falk-Shah are just like humans making tools.
Like cutting and piecing together bricks, like melting and casting iron… … they twist the bones and muscles of primitive people and graft them together in bizarre ways.
Only in a form specialized for combat and killing.
‘What the heck is this… … .’
The fusion entities commanded by Falk-Sha, the ‘Yellow Scorpion’ Chakalone, billowed like yellow cloaks as their flesh dried and withered.
“Shapel, how long will it take to use ‘Lin’s Magic’?”
“Please give me five minutes.”
Chappelle jumped down from his horse, drew a pentagon with his stone and drew a circle at each angle.
And he put down his hat and his staff and sat cross-legged in the center of the pentagon. That was all, that was all, and yet the magical power of the atmosphere began to vibrate.
At the vibration of that power, the entire Blood Demon Corps Dragoon Corps began to fight against the fusion entity with renewed courage.
‘Mr. Shapell is up to something. Something huge… …!’
Camilla exclaimed in admiration as she cut down two cavemen who had broken through the first line of defense.
I thought we weren’t compatible.
I thought it was a crazy engagement.
The original tactical doctrine of the Daema tribe recommended defensive warfare from fixed positions, as other types of battles had extremely low win rates.
‘But this is… … .’
In this situation, with no artillery or air support, and with the enemy constantly pushing in from the flanks… … .
‘So this is the Dragoon cavalry that can play the role of both cavalry and infantry?’
Carriages and carts are instantly transformed into barbed wire, and wizards and witches create trenches using earth magic and sorcery.
The soldiers who had been riding horses until just now took over the trench and opened fire with steam guns fitted with special silver bullets.
Primitive people who are hit directly by bullets imbued with the blessing of light fall down with sorrowful screams, burn, and return to the embrace of light.
“It’s a fusion entity!”
“We’ve broken through the fire net!”
“Where are the squad leaders?”
However, the fusion entity could not be defeated by silver bullets. The collapse of the camp began with the appearance of the ancient entity.
“What the hell, that’s not a fusion entity, it’s an ancient entity!”
“What is an ancient entity?”
“This is the strongest combat unit that the Necrons have used since ancient times. It seems that the one with the highest rank among the Necrons has arrived.”
What turned that crazy operation into a ‘less crazy’ one couldn’t be simpler.
There was only one force.
Vinessa Alter Renault, the martial arts of that one warrior.
“Ashir, you organize the ranks. I will handle those alone.”
Ssrrrrung… … As if cutting through all that confusion with a single stroke, there was a fascinatingly clear and elegant sound.
The sound swept through the battlefield.
That sound purifies the battlefield.
When the light of the sword of the polar satellite Renod left a circular trajectory, enemies on the horizon were swept away before the metallic sound even hit the ground.
My whole body was shaking.
Is this the feeling of being exalted?
‘When you catch a sand snake back then, you really were considerate enough to take it slow so you could see it.’
Of all the swordsmanship I have ever seen in my life, this was the most accomplished swordsmanship.
The power was overwhelming… … .
The battlefield itself is… … .
In fact, I couldn’t keep up with the speed of Vinessa’s herbivore linkage with my body vision at the time. I was so immersed in a state of no-self that I could only just watch.
“Hahaha! As expected from our captain!”
“Antique bone fragments are no match for me!”
“Commander, urgent message from Priest Aydin! Heavily armed fairy soldiers are on their way to join us, but the distance is quite far and it will take some time!”
“Okay, relay this to all units.”
“The fairies themselves? I’m embarrassed. Or is the Master so great that he has to come out to greet you?”
“The reason why fairies get cursed at by all races because of their arrogant standards but never wield their swords is because they do their duty when it’s time to do so. Let’s go.”
At that moment, a fusion entity broke through the gap in the barrier and ran in.
Camilla immediately gave the spur to the bull’s side.
What are your weaknesses? What behavior patterns do you have?
‘It jumps like a gorilla with two huge arms, but I can’t even imagine how it would fight with that alone.’
Let’s imagine… … .
If you lack imagination material… … .
Let’s first lay the foundation… … .
‘The fourth form of the ten-letter alphabet is ‘bal (?).’
As soon as he jumped from the saddle of the enemy, he formed a magical platform and pushed his body with all his might to close the gap.
“““GuaaaaaaaaAAAAAA… … !”””
A terrifying form created by the fusion of dozens of primitive people.
The ‘material’ that made up the heavy arm swinging at Camilla was nothing more than a rag squeezed by three or four primitive men, stuck together.
Chacalone’s fusion entity goes even further, turning them into primitive beings without annihilating their consciousness, which causes the victims to scream.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… … .”
“Kill, kill me… … .”
This bad boy… … My reflexes were disrupted by the anger that was building up inside me at that moment.
‘But… … it’s definitely not something I can’t avoid! It’s like a piece of cake compared to Mr. MacKennan’s dagger!’
Camilla ducked her waist to avoid the arm attack, then drew her sword and cut deeply into the fusion entity.
however…….
however…….
Only the conscious primitive man howled in pain, while the fused entity moved calmly.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
“How, how, ugh!”
Camilla took a step back blankly.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… … .”
That scream was so human-like, no, it was a human scream… … .
what……?
What am I doing now? Why am I cutting people here? In such unconscious chaos, the fusion entity of Chacalone has been killing humans with ease. Just like now, at this moment.
Die.
Die.
Die.
The arm of the fusion entity that had cast a huge shadow from the tip of Camilla’s crown to her feet suddenly took on a physical form above the shadow in the next moment.
The fifth form of the tithe, the first month.
At that moment, when the body was about to crumble into a meat skein, there was the moonlight of a sword that left a clear, sharp cut on the shadow of death.
“““UaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA!”””
The fused entity screamed, and the primitive people that had formed the severed arm were sprawled on the ground, flailing around like fish and sobbing.
“Don’t listen, don’t look, Camilla! They’re already dead!”
At that moment, Asher shouted as he took Camilla behind him.
But, because she still did not come to her senses, Aeshir had to forcibly remove Camilla’s helmet and slap her twice on the cheek.
Camilla was barely able to regain her senses from the shock that made her face tingle and the chaos that made her mind black.
“Let’s go, we don’t have time.”
“Sister, how? How do I knock her down?”
“I’ll stop moving, so Camilla, cut the upper body diagonally. For the fused entity, just cut the central entity.”
How on earth is Asher so strong?
It’s not just Asher, the entire Blood Horse Legion is incredibly strong.
How many times have I been through such chaos? How many times have I seen such a tragedy that is too difficult for an ordinary person to bear witness to?
“You always said you’d smile, right? Come on, follow me!”
Eshir, who had quickly closed the gap with the fusion entity, changed the way he held the sword and scabbard to a reverse grip.
The second form of the tithe, the track.
Like a spinning top, the optic nerve can barely perceive only the circular, silvery trajectory of light.
‘Hurry up.’
As Camilla followed suit and exclaimed in admiration, the fusion entity thrust out its arms.
‘Seriously, it’s incredibly fast.’
That arm, the top of the blade, goes up diagonally.
Ping-pong… … !
In one breath, he cut off dozens of arms and slaughtered the shoulders, and Eshir escaped behind his back, deliberately focusing all of his power flow on the blade.
The sixth form of the tithe, Seommucham.
Normally, the body should continue to rotate due to inertia, but by forcibly transferring that inevitable force to the blade, the cutting power is increased dozens of times.
Binggle… … .
Put your fingers into the ring of the hilt that you were holding in reverse, rotate the blade half a turn, and hold the hilt in your pure hand.
Shukak–!
The primitive people that formed the ankles of the fusion entity, which were relatively weak compared to the arms, were cut down with a single stroke of the sword.
The fused entity, structurally unable to support the weight, falls forward.
At that moment, the magical power from Camilla’s blade was also shining, crackling with thousands of electric currents.
The 7th form of the Ten Characters Alphabet, Jinnoeryong.
Now that I am falling, unable to bear my own weight, the only thing that can contain that gravity is now.
The fourth form of the ten-letter alphabet is bal (?).
Don’t miss the opportunity that Asher has created for you.
Don’t fail.
It’s a given that it won’t fail.
‘How many times… … .’
How many times have I repeated this movement with my teacher? I have succeeded amidst his laughter and encouragement.
The fifth form of the ten-letter alphabet, sudden attack.
The blade, which rushes towards the new form, causing a small explosion on the ground, reaches the nose of the fused entity in an instant, and, unable to overcome the internal pressure of the scabbard, shoots up, scattering light.
“Yaaa …
… … entangled many human beings in impossible structures and forms.
The creepy sensation of endlessly cutting through the membrane, fascia, and tendons, and then cutting through more just when you think you’ve cut through everything…
That horrific moment, which seemed to last forever, ended in the next moment.
“—AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”
The fused entity, with its upper and lower bodies obliquely severed from its pelvis to its shoulders, did not scream as it fell onto the sand.
The original thread has been broken… … .
Those who had fallen, those who had been soldiers of the workshop, fell into peace while shedding tears.
“””thank you…….”””
The hand holding the sword, the hand holding the scabbard, were shaking like crazy.
What the heck is this… … .
How could this happen… … .
Will this battle continue in the future? Will I be able to cut it even if Master or John end up like this?
“Well done, Camilla. But it’s too early to let your guard down!”
Defeating a fusion entity at the age of fourteen was a remarkable feat, but no one noticed.
It had to be that way.
Chapel, who had been holding his hands together devoutly as if praying, finally opens his hand seal, carving a rune, a letter of power, into the air.
Thunder.
Field.
Throw.
Fall.
Island.
Five central circles, this is one of the five-star magic that can change the map of the battlefield. The strongest lightning magic devised by the great wizard Lin during the turbulent times of the 12th century to defeat an overwhelming number of enemies at once.
“First thunder.”
No further operations are required.
No need for a water meter.
No preparatory movements are required whatsoever.
“Second thunder.”
The pentagonal area with a radius of 50 meters centered around Chapel is the lightning zone. Any enemy who dares to invade this area will be swallowed up by lightning.
“The Third Thunder.”
A high-pitched noise, like the painful chirping of thousands of birds, took shape and swooped down from the sky to the ground.
Pure white is burning.
The lightning that covers the sand world in white scatters an incredible amount of heat and turns the fused entities into piles of ash.
“The Fourth Thunder.”
“Fifth thunder.”
“The Sixth Thunder.”
“The Seventh Thunder.”
This is the 5-star magic, Brain and Blood, that brilliantly demonstrated the heroism of Archmage Rin and brought the Osarius School into the ranks of the great schools.
With seven lightning strikes that amplify both practicality and lethality to the extreme, it destroys enemies without leaving a trace, regardless of whether they are single or multiple.
A deafening explosion caused ringing in the ears… … As all primordial entities were annihilated, silence should have been created, but an even greater commotion filled the void.
“Damn, and they’re still coming… … .”
One thing, I need to correct. It wasn’t just Vinessa’s inaction that made this crazy operation successful.
No matter how hard Vinessa and Asher work.
Even as MacKennan’s dagger pierced the acupoints of the fusion entities, Leone’s flames burned the primordial army, and Phenyl’s wave magic engulfed the enemy…
“They keep coming!”
“This is fucking shit!”
The number of ancient entities and fusion entities that appeared at that time was enormous, and the operation was finally driven into a corner.
3,000 to 100,000? 150,000?
Even the undefeated Blood Horse Corps was helpless in the face of overwhelming numerical inferiority. Casualties were on the rise and the collapse of the camp was imminent.
“Shoot, keep shooting!”
More and more… … .
slowly…….
Clearly… … .
“Stop them from coming!”
The primordial grip tightened around my neck, at the point when everything was falling into an abyss of darkness, despair, and screams.
“I don’t know if it’s natural for scumbags to have no manners, or if they’re called scumbags because they have no manners.”
What changed the noise into silence and illuminated the darkness into light was… … a chain of silver that rose from the ground.
Hundreds, no, thousands… … ?
A brilliant radiance pierced and engulfed the skeletons of the corpse army, sending the primordial dead caught in darkness back into the embrace of light.
“Don’t you even know the proper etiquette of respect that must be shown to an audience with a teacher who imparts the teachings of light?”
I’ve heard that the battles of fairy soldiers, especially the elite fairy soldiers, are close to art.
That’s true.
It’s true that each and every one of them lacked a certain stamina, but their formidable fighting power was truly a work of art.
“Evesran, teach them manners. And how to treat me at eye level.”
Hwang Eun’s private, Balbray… … .
A miraculous seeker, a Sasa, who appeared like light with a truly noble halo… … .
“I follow the orders of the sage.”
At the Sage’s command, the strongest fairy soldier, Paladin Evesran, stepped forward. Every Sage has a Paladin as his exclusive guardian.
“Unit, Holtranks! Show the majesty of the Firstborn!”
