Only Noblemtl

Episode 146

The roar of the guard dog echoed.

What blocked the way were mud and eaten ones that had risen up like a wall. Cerberus used to breathe out flames from his entire body and broke through the wall with his body.

Those who were eaten tried to block Cerberus with their bodies while using their skills.

Baek Sa-jun performed magic.

– Kwarrrrrr!

– Ugh, aaaahhhhh!

A wave of bones centered around Baek Sa-jun spread out, pushing away the approaching eaten ones.

This was followed by .

From the place where the eaten ones were pushed out, many ghosts rose up from underneath and attacked them.

A spectral explosion swept across the area.

“Skeleton, Iria. Scatter and lead the undead! Do your best to prevent the enemies from coming!”

– Ooh, oh… … !

– Bam!

Cerberus runs without stopping.

Running on either side of him were skeletons, Iria, and her followers.

The two factions scattered in different directions.

– Kwaaaaah!

A skeleton covered in flames roared.

Blocking his path were the eaten ones in the form of monsters. The skeleton jumped high, gripped its sword in reverse, and slammed the ground.

– Hwaruk! Kwaaaaang!

Then the ground split open and many pillars of fire shot out through the gap, burning the enemies.

The skeleton immediately took up its position.

The empty pupils of his eyes were dyed red.

– Grrrr!

– Crunch! Crunch!

All I see before my eyes is mud and eaten people.

The skeleton advanced forward, mercilessly cutting down any enemies that stood in its way.

Every time I swung my sword, every time I cut down an enemy, the speed and power of my sword strikes increased.

It was the effect of the skill, .

– Crunch!

– Ooh, ahhh… … .

But the number of enemies was endless.

Over the course of two days, the predator devoured countless people. The number of those eaten was also enormous.

A great number of the eaten rise again.

They each raised their strength.

– Shhh!

– Bam!

A torrent of attacks poured in.

Some created summoned creatures, some flew with swords made of magical power, and others used gifts that transformed them into giant birds.

However, the skeleton moved faster than that.

– Heeeeeeling!

The skeletons summoned skeleton demons cut through the barrage of attacks, creating distance between them.

It was to follow the master’s orders.

– Don’t let it run away. Swallow it!

The mud and the eaten ones rose again and tried to surround Baek Sa-jun and his followers from all sides.

but.

– Advance!

– Khaaaaah!

A huge wave of ghosts disturbed them.

The ghostly horses and knights galloped. The halberd of the Tyrant at the very front struck the ground hard.

A powerful shockwave swept through the mud, and the Soul Knights pierced their enemies. That wasn’t the end.

– Gooooo!

– Kwaaaaaaa!

There were also Baek Sa-jun’s undead.

The first to take the lead was the Blood Golem. Strengthened by the effects of , the Blood Golem crouched down, absorbing the pouring attacks.

– Kwaaaaah!

A huge amount of blood poured out from his body.

The blood turned into a violent whirlwind that engulfed the surroundings, then caused a violent explosion and swept away the enemies.

The Blood Golem began to trample on its enemies, consuming the corpses created by the Desert of Death.

-Whaaaaaaah!

– Crunch!

The Glacier Golem created a fierce blizzard that froze the enemies. As if waiting for this, the Death Knights charged forward and cut down the enemies.

As the level rose, the knights grew stronger and their numbers increased, and they crossed the middle of the mud.

At the forefront was a skeleton.

– Kwaaaaah!

The skeleton charged along with the Death Knights.

Their goal is one.

– Open the way!

– Kiaaaah!

Making a path for Baek Sa-jun to advance.

The undead swept through the surrounding area, destroying the siege net that was trying to surround Baek Sa-jun.

And then they dispersed again, taking on the role of blocking the mud and the eaten ones from approaching.

– This, this… … .

The predator was watching the scene.

The movements of the undead are incredibly coordinated. Without detailed orders from their masters, the undead would simply follow simple commands.

Are you saying that you can move so actively?

-Whoooosh!

– Taaang!

It was possible thanks to the followers.

Skeletons were scattered everywhere, and Magnus and Iria were commanding the undead.

This was possible because they were a special group with an ‘ego’, unlike ordinary undead.

‘Oh, that special power… … .’

Even though it was prey that had to be eaten, the predator was amazed. It was seeing things that it had not seen when it first met in the mine.

And what you have to do.

‘Summoner, you must kill that guy.’

The predator thought quickly.

The standard way to deal with a necromancer is to kill the summoner first. Even if you have powerful undead, once the summoner dies, it’s over.

The bastard’s mud moved secretly.

– Crunch!

Eventually, the mud that reached Cerberus’ path gushed out, creating those who were eaten.

A warlord from Jeju Island who used magic. Nearly 100 magicians used magic at the same time.

Numerous magic spells were fired targeting Baek Sa-jun.

‘After all, humans. If only they could cause harm.’

It won’t be easy to recover from the damage.

It was a surprise attack aimed at that. Even if it doesn’t kill them all at once, it’s enough to just inflict damage.

but.

– Clang! Crunch! Crunch!

– That’s… … !

Just then, the skeleton used his gift.

. A powerful defensive barrier appeared, blocking the magic being shot at Baek Sa-jun.

At the same time, Iria moved.

– Saaaaah!

– Kyaaaaak!

Iria, fluttering her wings and rushing forward. She approached the warlord with the retinue of Jinjo following her, and at the same time, she unleashed her blood magic.

Blood covered the warlords.

– Phew!

Blood that causes a violent explosion.

Iria created bloodswords in both hands and slaughtered the staggering eaters with her own hands.

The black mud on the blade scattered.

– Ouch, ugh… … !

Baek Sa-jun is walking down the path his followers have created. The distance between them is gradually narrowing.

The number of those eaten also decreased rapidly.

The situation is that the mud and the eaten people that were sent to Jeju Island and the city are being defeated.

‘It’ll be fine if we keep going like this.’

Baek Sa-jun thought so.

Just approach the main body of the predator and inflict fatal damage on it. If the main body is hit, the mud and the movements of those eaten will stop.

but.

‘Things can’t go that easily.’

Baek Sa-jun’s knowledge warned.

There is a pattern to the predator that can be called Phase 2 in the game.

You have to prepare for that in advance.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Baek Sa-jun met Namgung Yeon’s gaze, who was with the spirits over there.

Namgung Yeon nods with a pale face.

A predator was watching the scene.

‘This won’t do.’

The number of those eaten is decreasing.

This means that the predator’s power is decreasing. With the warlords counterattacking in cities all over Jeju Island, the power is decreasing even faster.

If you increase the number, it will decrease faster.

‘Increasing numbers is meaningless.’

The human in front of you is a necromancer.

There are even spirits summoned by the spirit masters. Fighting with numbers is what they want.

So we have to change our methods.

Not by increasing the numbers, but by combining them.

– Feed, you… … .

The predator’s form melted into the mud.

At the same time, the main body of the bastard twitched. There are still many eaten ones that have not been taken out. But they will not be released. It must be used in a different way.

The main body radiated a tremendous amount of power.

– You must eat it.

The moment he heard those words, Baek Sa-jun lowered his Cerberus posture and shouted urgently.

Fraud was rampant everywhere.

“Get back! Hide behind the barrier!”

Bone barriers rising everywhere.

The undead hid behind the barrier at their master’s command. At that very moment, the predator roared.

– Gaaaaaaaaaah!

The predator’s body vibrated violently.

A tremendous amount of power gathered in the main body, and a powerful suction force was created around it. It was a suction force that was enough to pull in everything in the area.

The black mud, the eaten ones, and the undead that couldn’t escape were all dragged into the main body of the thing.

– Crunch, crunch! Crunch!

The predator swallowed everything it was dragged in.

At the same time, the maggot-like body spurted out a huge amount of mud. The mud enveloped the body, and it gradually began to take the shape of a huge monster.

and.

‘now.’

Baek Sa-jun had no intention of leaving the bastard alone.

– Use .

The item option is activated. A giant grim reaper appears behind his back, holding a scythe.

He put his hand down without hesitation.

– Crunch!

The grim reaper’s scythe cut through the air.

A splitting space. The mud that had wrapped around the predator’s body was cut off. And the evil spirits gathered in the god of death’s scythe seeped into the mud, and then exploded.

– Kwaaaaang!

– Kwaaaaah!

An explosion so powerful it shook the snowfield.

The mud that had been covering the predator’s body was unable to withstand the explosion and scattered in all directions. Then, as if he had been waiting for this moment, Namgung Yeon unleashed his magic.

“Appear here, even for a moment!”

– Kwaruruk!

The air vibrated.

I felt a huge amount of magical power covering all directions. The magical power gathered around the main body of the predator and soon took on a concrete shape.

The figure of a giant whose entire body is made of stone.

“Guard!”

– This guy… … !

The giant’s fist struck the predator’s body.

At that moment, a huge shockwave swept over the area. The mud surrounding the predator’s body fell away, and the powerful suction power disappeared in an instant.

And that was the moment Baek Sa-jun was aiming for.

– Keuheuuuuu!

Cerberus kicked the ground.

The guard dog, accelerating with , jumped over the mud blocking it and charged towards the main body.

The nonstop shooting of bullets supported the bastard.

The distance to the predator is not far.

– Don’t come near me… … !

The scattered mud took the shape of a giant monster and tried to stop Baek Sa-jun.

Iria moved before that.

– Crackle!

The bloodsucking sword and the vampire’s claws, sharper than blades, tore the monster apart.

Cerberus leapt between the scattered monster fragments. And as if to block it, the mud on the ground rose up as a barrier.

– Whoosh whoosh!

A sword wrapped in flames cut through the barrier.

The wall was collapsing. Cerberus squeezed through it without hesitation.

The distance between you and the predator is now just around the corner.

– Krrrrrr… … !

– Crunch!

Cerberus stuck to the mud.

It was mud that enveloped the body of the predator. Cerberus ignored the mud that was trying to swallow him, and both heads simultaneously took on fire.

– Phew!

– Hwarrrrrr!

and , which burn mud.

The mud melted away. Beyond it, the shape of what Baek Sa-jun was after was revealed.

The appearance of the predator’s body.

– Key, eek! Food and such… …!

“What an ugly sight.”

The appearance of a maggot-like insect.

A huge, disgusting bug roared at Baek Sa-jun, who was looking at it.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“I told you.”

Ragnar’s soul complex emitted light.

Baek Sa-jun caused all the remaining frauds to arise. A huge amount of frauds were surging in his hands.

“I won’t miss it this time.”

.

The three skills that unfolded simultaneously split the mud and covered the revealed main body.

After a while.

– Kiaaaaaaaah!

A desperate scream echoed through the snowfield.
