081. The Night Bullet of Terror (2)

Duke Goldin’s gaze was fixed on something beyond the night fog. His eyes were infinitely sharp and serious.

“That girl is the Knight of the Night…….”

There were only three magicians standing next to him now. Goldeng, who felt it was strange that they were late in joining, had sent the best of his knights to bring them.

However, only three out of fifteen survived. This is a huge loss not only for Goldeng but also for the nation. The existence of a wizard is a source of power, and if possible, they do not kill their opponents but rather try to persuade them. This is because there is a huge difference in power and strategy depending on whether there is a wizard or not.

But, twelve of those precious wizards, one-tenth of the entire world’s wizard population, were lost. And that was all in a single day… … Goldeng’s hands were clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into them.

A power far beyond expectations, shouldn’t we have turned that witch into an enemy? I never thought that she would gather not just emergency power, but power enough to take over the kingdom.

Moreover, I never dreamed that I would be leading the Knights of Yatan, who are considered the greatest of all time.

Friel, that snake-like man didn’t do anything right even after seeing it. Were you prepared for this?

However, he did not dismiss Friel without calculating this. Although he lost twelve wizards, he still has enough strength to deal with such corpses. There is only one thing on his mind. Goldeng’s eyes narrowed.

-Doo doo doo doo doo!

Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of ghouls ran madly through the night fog. Their mouths and fingertips were covered in the blood of their victims, and the sight of them filling up their field of vision was a sight that made even magicians shiver.

and…….

-Clang clang clang clang!

The sound of black iron clashing felt unusually loud. In the distance, a black knight standing out in the middle of the zombies slowly appeared.

His huge body, over 2m tall, was solidly covered in black armor, and black smoke was constantly leaking out from between the armor joints. He held a black bastard sword, as big as himself, with one hand, using his tremendous strength, and hung it on his shoulder, and on his left arm, he wore a lion-patterned gauntlet specialized for close-range attacks.

A circular, empty space appears around the black knight, as if an invisible curtain were present, as he faces the undead who can’t even tell their own side apart. Even at this distance, he feels an immense sense of oppression that makes it difficult to even breathe properly.

“Hey……tan…….”

Sweat was seeping out of his tightly clenched fist without him realizing it. As someone who had personally witnessed the scene where the wizard’s head was blown off with one hand, it was an unforgettable sight for Goldeng, just like Yattan.

Even Goldeng, who was a feared figure among wizards and was considered one of the best wizards, was not free in body and mind.

“It’s different now…….”

Goldeng shook his head and burned with determination.

Even if it was a wild bullet, once it was turned into a zombie, its abilities would be lower than when it was alive, and it was true that it had grown much more since then. Goldeng repeated this as if he was casting a spell on himself.

-Clang!

The knight with the sword in his heart slowly fell down. Mircen roughly pulled out her sword and looked around.

“Is the inside cleaned up now?”

“I guess so.”

Icarone answered as he put Guido and Ray into their scabbards. Around him, there were a little over twenty corpses of the Knights of Jerone. With the help of Mircen and the Knights who had come to help, they were able to be sorted out without much difficulty.

Through this fight, Icarone gained one piece of information. As time passes, the strength of the jiangshi, those monsters, decreases. Cletino said that they are beings created by infusing magic. Then, any movement must inevitably consume mana. They may also refill their mana over time, but it is clear that the vessel they are in is clearly different from that of a living human. For now, he has discovered a weakness that is not a weakness.

The problem is that you can’t last long against those who rush in without considering defense…

Fortunately, this time, it was easier to fight because the order was to kill everyone instead of just Rachel. Seeing him act so recklessly, it was clear that Rachel’s existence had already become meaningless to Friel. It seemed like he was planning to swallow up this kingdom. In fact, Rachel was safer. If only this situation could be resolved.

Rachel sat there blankly, hugging Bedin’s neck. He had been her older brother for a long time, but now he looked like he was about her age. When his unfocused eyes opened wide, she raised her hand and closed his eyelids.

“How much… how much pain it must have caused. Now, rest in peace…, brother.”

The fact that my brother and the Knights of Jeron are Friel’s corpses means a lot. Before my father turned like that, the dungeon hunt where he lost all of the Knights of Jeron was Friel’s doing.

I just saw him as someone who was trying to take it away after his father’s wrongdoing, but this was planned from the beginning. To destroy his own family.

“Friel… I won’t forgive you.”

Rachel gritted her teeth as tears fell down Bedin’s face. There was a clear venom in her frail voice.

Icarone looked at her and turned away. After all, this was the Leond family’s business, and she had to handle it alone. The screams outside were getting louder.

He kicked the ground and jumped up onto the wall. The skeletons had already come right up to the mansion. It was a mansion, not a castle, but the walls were sturdy and high enough to be called a small castle. However, it didn’t seem like they could hold out for long. At a glance, there were over five thousand skeletons, and the skeleton knights armed with them were close to two hundred.

“…….”

However, the number of people capable of fighting inside does not exceed five hundred at most. However, strangely, they only push back those who try to climb up the wall, and do not take active defense.

Icarone looked around.

Cletinus was seen looking at the scene from the highest point of the mansion. He was holding a dark purple staff, and at the end of it was a mana stone the size of an adult’s fist, shining brilliantly. Next to him was a man I had never seen before, holding a similar staff. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a wizard too.

The Knights of Mircen are waiting inside the gates. They all seem to have made a prior arrangement, as they are all still and not going out.

Mircea approached Icarone with a slightly puzzled look. His gaze was on Abi Cletino.

“Do you know why our castle is on this cliff?”

Icarone followed Cletino’s gaze, wondering what relevance this question had to the current situation. He slowly raised both his hands. The light from the mana stone on the end of the staff was growing stronger. Mircene continued.

“You want to make enemies come to one place to make it easier to defend? No. It’s water. There’s a huge difference between creating water by separating the water attribute from mana floating in the air and moving existing water. Real water is on a different ‘dimension’ in terms of delay and power.”

-Doo doo doo doo doo!

There was a hint of pride and excitement in Mircen’s voice.

At that moment, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred. At the same time, the surroundings suddenly became dark. At this strange phenomenon, Icarone quickly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

-Choo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

On three sides, walls of water rose endlessly. The water walls, which seemed to be hundreds of meters high, blocked the sky.

“ah…….”

Icarone opened his mouth without realizing it and let out a pure exclamation. He had been wary of the power of magic, thinking it was amazing, but he realized that he had greatly underestimated it.

Isn’t magic the realm that can be called closest to ‘God’? Looking at the huge wall of water, I felt a sense of mystery beyond grandeur and awe for the first time in my life. Was the miracle of the Red Sea mentioned in the Bible also this kind of magic? Will they really become Roman soldiers who drowned in the Red Sea?

The wall of water that seemed like it would rise forever slowly tilted forward. While some were trembling in fear that it would overtake them, many, like Mircen, looked toward the end with firm faith.

And then, a huge tidal wave crashed down right into the zombies at the entrance to the castle.

-Kugugugugugugugu!

“Kueeek!”

“Kyaaaaah!”

The water continued to pour down endlessly for a long time. Their screams were drowned out by the unprecedented sound of the waterfall. Icarone witnessed the ‘disaster’ caused by humans before his eyes. All the water passed and the moonlight illuminated their faces again.

From behind, Mircen’s voice was heard, much more powerful than before.

“Open the gates!”

The soldier next to the wall repeated the order.

“Open the gates!”

-Squeak!

In front, most of the people were swept away and only the corpses were lying on the ground, struggling. There were only a few dozen corpse knights.

“All troops, charge!”

“charge!”

“Charge!”

“Wow!”

Mircen’s knights and soldiers charged forward with great momentum and easily swept them away. After some time, the skeletons climbed up the cliff, but the soldiers did not panic and dealt with them one by one. The skeletons, who had already exhausted most of their magic power, were just perfect prey for the soldiers who had a hundred times more morale to defeat them individually.

“…….”

Despite having repelled thousands of skeletons without causing any serious injuries, the Duke of Cletin’s expression on the watchtower was filled with concern. He had heard reports that over ten thousand skeletons were advancing on the capital city of Elbaran.

Duke Goldin was bitten by the dog he raised, and I wished that the foolish king would change while I was at it, but there are 4 million innocent people in the capital.

Cletinus descended from the high tower directly into the middle of the mansion. Landing light as a feather thanks to his fly, he immediately continued speaking.

“Mirsen, prepare to sortie. The final destination is the capital city of Elbaran, and the enemy is Iman’s horde of jiangshi.”

“Yes, Father. I will get it ready.”

Despite the enormous number of people, Cletino grabbed his shoulder again as he was about to go get ready without asking any questions.

Mircen looked up at her father with a puzzled expression at his strong hands.

“Neoka and I will leave first, so you must lead the remaining nobles. As quickly as possible.”
