Episode 91
Baek Sa-jun looked at the battlefield.
The monsters who had been focusing solely on attacking the World Tree’s defense barrier were now diverted elsewhere.
Right where Lee Hyuk-woon is.
‘What a monster.’
As I watched him single-handedly sweep away his enemies, I couldn’t help but think that way.
but.
“I’m glad that guy is a monster now.”
That helped Baek Sa-jun now.
This was because Lee Hyuk-woon’s destructive power was so great that the monsters changed their formation to block him.
The balance of the battlefield is being disrupted.
That was the timing Baek Sa-jun had been waiting for.
-Whew!
A sandstorm is blowing.
In an instant, the rotting land turned into sand, and countless dead people and ghosts rose up.
The moment the monsters noticed the sudden change, an ominous hand grabbed their ankles.
– Th, th-they?! There’s sand everywhere!
– Kwaaak! You rotten corpse!
– Ghhhhhhhhh!
The dead and ghosts that attack enemies from all sides.
However, the monsters here were not weak enough to be defeated by those undead.
– Grrrrr! There are just a lot of numbers!
– Kyaaaaah!
After being pushed back for a moment, the monsters regained their composure and began to slaughter the undead.
One, the summoning is not over yet.
“Shall we try out a new item?”
Baek Sa-jun touched the soul jar on the back of his neck. Then, the soul jar emitted an ominous light.
– Activate ‘Echo of Ragna’.
– For 30 minutes from now, the number of summonable undead of higher level or lower will double.
An ominous light enveloped the surroundings.
Baek Sa-jun aroused all the evil spirits within his body.
-Kill them all! … … !
– Ss …
The troll who had cut the dead man in half let out a roar of victory, but then suddenly realized something.
There was a black fog all around.
– Oh, fog? This is… … .
An intense ominous feeling enveloped the troll.
The reason was unknown. The moment the troll saw the fog, he felt an unbearable fear.
And it wasn’t because of the mood.
– Kkaaaaaaah!
A terrible scream was heard through the fog.
Black fog quickly spread in all directions and settled on the corpses lying on the ground.
Then, the bodies of the corpses turned black and soon all the flesh on their bodies melted away.
All that remains are blackened bones.
– Crunch, crunch!
But that was only for a moment.
The black fog that enveloped the corpses, which were nothing but bones, transformed into ominous armor shapes.
In pitch-black armor that swallows even light.
– Ughhhhhhh… … .
The corpses raised themselves.
A death knight armed with pitch-black equipment. 42 undead were summoned at the command of their master.
The two giant skeletons at the front drew their greatswords and looked around for monsters that were on guard.
and.
– Crunch!
– Ugh, ugh… … !
He swung his greatsword without saying a word.
The greatsword was imbued with pitch-black sword energy. The knight commanders’ sword energy cut down the surrounding enemies.
Monsters with half their bodies severed fell.
“Knights of Death. Open the way.”
– Ghhhhhhh!
The knights charged at Baek Sa-jun’s command.
The elite spearmen charged at incredible speeds, piercing through the enemies blocking their path with their acceleration.
The enemies attacked the charging knights.
– Kaaaaang!
– Ugh, ugh?!
Additional effects: The knights’ equipment, strengthened with , was more than able to withstand their attacks.
Monsters are confused because their attacks are blocked.
A bunch of arrows pierced their heads.
– Pushuuk!
The undead were followed by archers.
The elite archers shot five arrows simultaneously, sniping the monsters blocking their path.
– Shut up!
– Yeah, I can’t stop it… … !
As the Death Knights charged forward without stopping, a bloody path opened up in their wake.
It was a path created for Baek Sa-jun.
‘This is the power of the 42nd undead.’
Baek Sa-jun, who was watching, was amazed.
In return, I lost morale, but it was worth it. I could restore morale at least once with the ‘Curse of the Dead’ set effect.
– Gooooooooo!
– Ugh!
Baek Sa-jun created a bone golem.
It was made using the dead, ghouls, and skeleton mages, so it is somewhat weaker than before.
But that was enough. The Cerberus he summoned together was more than enough to complement him.
– Kwaaang!
-Whoooosh!
Two undead units began to run wild.
Monsters trampled and burned. Baek Sa-jun and his two followers walked along the blood-soaked path.
At the end of it was an obelisk.
“Uh, uh… this is… … .”
“What the hell is going on… … ?”
The survivors of the suicide squad lying around the obelisk watched the scene blankly.
It had to be that way.
Who would have thought that it was the undead, and no one else, who would save them?
‘The monsters are being pushed back unilaterally. Those monsters… Are you going to catch them that easily?’
That was the first question that came to mind.
I never thought there would be a hunter who could unilaterally push through that huge number of monsters like that.
‘Undead. Definitely a necromancer. But.’
Can an undead be that strong?
This was the thought that came to the minds of the suicide squad and those watching the situation from inside the barrier.
When you think of a necromancer, there is an image that comes to mind.
[A class that summons a large number of individually weak undead and overwhelms the enemy with the power of numbers.]
But Baek Sa-jun’s undead were different.
Those knights, bone golems, and even Cerberus. Each individual was strong, and even their numbers were large.
A necromancer of a type never seen before.
“Those monsters… … .”
In the east, the undead of Baek Sa-jun.
And in the west, Lee Hyuk-woon and his colleagues advanced through the monsters to the obelisk.
“Where did you two come from?”
Someone who saw the sight muttered quietly.
– Kwaaaaah!
– Grrrrr… … !
The monsters surrounding the suicide squad noticed the approaching Baek Sa-jun.
Monsters start rushing in all at once.
Baek Sa-jun raised the morale.
– Hehehe!
– Kieeeeeee!
Then, a large number of ghosts suddenly rose up from under the feet of the monsters that were rushing towards them.
The ghosts clashed with the monsters, mocking the living. And at that moment.
– Phew!
– Kyaaaaak!
There was a huge explosion.
It was an explosion created by ghosts colliding with monsters. The monsters caught in the explosion were instantly killed as their bodies were torn apart.
That wasn’t all.
– Krug… Gaaaaaaah!
– Keek! What, what are you doing!
– We are, fellow countrymen… kekeke!
The eyes of the monsters within the radius of the explosion turned bloodshot and began attacking their own kind.
Additional effects of Wrath of the Wraith.
It was the effect of .
– Kwaaaaang!
– Kwaaaaah!
Baek Sa-jun sent his two followers forward, exploding the corpses that had appeared everywhere.
A skeleton charging forward, clutching a spear.
Using his , he evaded all of his enemies’ attacks and swept them away in a whirlwind.
And then the bloody rain that followed.
– Crunch! Crunch!
Magnus supported such a skeleton.
In an instant, darkness rose from the split ground, and eyes emerged in the air, piercing the enemies with rays of death. And with them, the breath of venom.
The number of enemies guarding the pillars has decreased rapidly.
– Key, keyeeee!
The obelisk trembled in embarrassment.
A huge body was seen trembling, rising from the ground and trying to escape somehow.
Baek Sa-jun snorted and snapped his fingers.
– Kiik… … !
– Phew!
A number of ghouls rose from the ground and all attached themselves to the obelisk’s body.
And the body explodes.
An explosion enhanced by the effect of struck the creature, destroying its body in an instant.
– Phew!
Finally, a bone arrow that pierces the entire body.
That was the end of it. The lifeless obelisk sagged and soon turned to dust.
The monsters who saw that sight were shocked.
– Oh, the obelisk! It’s destroyed!
– Kwaaaaah! My body!
The obelisk was destroyed.
As the red fog cleared, the defensive barrier that had been narrowed by it widened again.
The monsters were pushed by him and fell down.
“Kill them all! Golems! Charge into the depths!”
– Ghhhhhhh!
Baek Sa-jun didn’t miss the opportunity.
The undead slaughtered the fallen monsters. The bone golem, hearing his command, charged deeper.
And when you get to a point where it’s enough.
– Crunch! Crunch!
The bone golem’s body disintegrated and became a giant bone tornado that struck monsters in all directions.
A bone whirlwind enhanced by the Sage’s Orb.
The bone fragments literally tore through the enemies.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
The hunters who were watching were shocked.
The undead’s performance was amazing, but the necromancer’s own skills were also extraordinary.
Baek Sa-jun looked back when he heard that sound.
“What are you doing? Won’t you wake up? Move!”
“Yes, yes? Ahh!”
The members of the suicide squad who had been blankly watching the battle came to their senses only after hearing those words.
The suicide squad rose up in a hurry. They shouted to their comrades who had built a defensive line in the rear.
“The shield has been restored! While these guys are buying us some time, quickly restore the defense line!”
“Move! There’s no time!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
There is no stopping the installation of the obelisk.
The hunters guarding the eastern defense line made that decision and pulled back their defense line significantly.
But the obelisk was destroyed and the barrier was restored. There was no need to move the defense line.
“Build a wall!”
“Builders! Tell the builders to come quickly!”
“You can stop it! You can stop this!”
There was hope on the hunters’ faces.
The sight of Baek Sa-jun slaughtering enemies together with the undead in front of them gave them hope.
‘I thought it was the end because the Emperor wasn’t here!’
‘I was worried about what to do because the guild leader, who didn’t even show up in this situation, is now… ‘
I can handle it.
Hunters moving in a hurry.
Baek Sa-jun pushed back two units of Death Knights who were cutting down the approaching monsters.
“Protect the barrier. Kill anyone who approaches.”
– Ugh… … .
The Death Knights who had crossed the middle of the battlefield returned to Baek Sa-jun’s side and formed a formation.
He then called in other undead and checked how many monsters were left.
‘I did destroy the obelisk, but… … .’
There are still too many monsters.
Still thousands. The purpose of this event is to block the monsters’ attacks until the end.
There is no need to defeat those monsters.
From now on, all you have to do is hold on.
‘If that was the case, I wouldn’t have bought this item.’
Baek Sa-jun took out an item from the subspace.
A ticket that exudes ominous energy.
– Use an invitation.
-Who would you like to invite?
It was an item called an invitation.
A special item that can only be purchased by using a blood-stained coupon at the store. This item allows you to invite one person outside of Busan.
Of course, there are many limitations that follow.
‘Was it something like a level or item restriction?’
If your level is too high, you cannot invite them, and there are restrictions on the items you can bring in.
To be frank.
‘It’s a piece of crap.’
This is an item that is hard to get a good price on.
With such restrictions in place, what difference would it make if you invited just one person by spending expensive coins?
That is, except for one person.
‘If you have a special gift.’
Yoo Seong-ah.
Gift, a woman with . Before entering Busan, Baek Sa-jun sent her a text message.
[You have a special gift, so there will be many who will try to take advantage of you in the future. Don’t you want to develop the strength to protect yourself?]
[You will receive an invitation soon. If you would like to participate, please accept the invitation.]
The message was roughly along those lines.
The current situation is one where monsters are endlessly swarming. The one who can help the most here is Yoo Seong-ah.
So Baek Sa-jun decided to invite her.
– Target: Yoo Seong-ah.
– Send an invitation to the person in question.
I sent a text to Yoo Seong-ah before coming here, but I didn’t get a reply.
So I didn’t know if she would accept the invitation. If she didn’t, then there was nothing I could do.
There is no other way to survive.
‘It would be easier if you accepted it if possible.’
The roars of monsters and the shouts of those fighting them could be heard from all directions.
Amidst the noise that made his head ring, Baek Sa-jun waited for a single line of message to appear.
and.
– Yoo Seong-ah accepted the invitation.
– After 10 minutes, it will be summoned next to the user.
The message that Baek Sa-jun had been waiting for arrived.
He took a deep breath.
“Lee Hyuk-woon!”
Baek Sa-jun shouted loudly.
But the cry was quickly drowned out by the noise of the battlefield. But he didn’t care.
“Bring me the magic stone!”
If it’s Lee Hyuk-woon’s hearing, it’ll be enough to hear it.
Baek Sa-jun, who had been shouting, looked back. The suicide squad was looking at him with blank expressions.
“We’re going to activate the magic weapons. Go up and tell the others to prepare.”
“Yes? Oh, oh, oh… Oh, I understand!”
The suicide squad rushes up in a hurry.
Baek Sa-jun turned his head and grabbed his cane.
‘Things will get easier.’
It doesn’t suit Baek Sa-jun’s nature to just play defense tirelessly. It would be different if he chased them away with an attack.
Yoo Seong-ah will make it possible for him.
‘Turn this situation around in one go.’
A deep smile appeared on Baek Sa-jun’s lips.
