The Returner Wants Complete Victory - The Returner Wants Complete Victory chapter 44
44 – 044. War (5)
What should a prosecutor do if he meets a bowman?
This may sound obvious, but it starts with approaching the enemy while minimizing damage.
The same goes for dealing with wizards.
However, the biggest difference between a wizard and a bowman is that the wizard uses dozens or hundreds of types of attacks.
If you don’t know how to respond to the spells your opponent uses, you have no choice but to be beaten helplessly.
“I’m not even a hillbilly… . “Is this your first time seeing magic?”
When I saw the members of the Martial Artist League struggling, I muttered without realizing it.
Then, Ellie’s gaze, which had been absentmindedly admiring the magic, turned to me for a moment.
ah.
hmm.
“… Would you like to show me something else?”
Ellie stared straight ahead again without answering.
“He’s hiding behind the building. “What if that happens?”
He then looked at the group of enemies making moves and asked a question.
Is it an illusion that the voice feels a little sharp?
“Let’s move it to the center of the street.”
Normally, it would have been a bad decision to go to the middle of the road where there was no cover, but now it was the exact opposite.
After a while, members of the Martial Artists’ League, who approached the building while hiding, appeared.
“Kill the wizard!”
Someone shouted that and leaped towards us from the rooftop.
Quang!
The opponent who was hit directly in the air with no place to escape rolled on the floor like a kite that had lost its strings.
He escaped immediate death, perhaps because he was protecting his body with magic, but his life was soon cut off by an ally who rushed at him.
But in the meantime, enemies flew in from all over, and a melee soon began.
No matter how I approached them, not a single one was left intact as everyone had been hit once or twice by my magic.
Most of our troops were hunters who made their living fighting chimeras, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t fight against each other.
There are dozens of types of chimeras, and among them, there are those that fight like humans.
I could see how advantageous the situation was just by not having a single one penetrate the surroundings and get to me.
James, who had recently retired, was lying dead on a corner of the road, and Rick and Noah were dealing with Kanghyuk instead.
Our hunters who were waiting behind us also came forward to support the Mad Dog elite, who were slowly losing ground.
Soon the situation began to turn towards us.
But as I looked around at the battlefield, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing.
“Where did this bastard Park Jong-su go?”
*
Something is wrong.
Park Jong-su had no choice but to think that way.
The martial artist league is overwhelming in size.
However, the reason we have not been able to obtain Kirnyu yet is because our team does not have a strong player of James Miller’s level.
And this time, with the addition of a wizard who could even erase the military superiority on James’ side, there was no choice but to hastily start a war.
At first, I thought the odds of winning were literally 50/50.
If you somehow catch James, you win, but if you don’t, you lose.
And as soon as I heard that Kang Hyuk had the upper hand against James, I was confident of victory.
After all, the only thing a wizard can do is slaughter ordinary alliance members.
Summon a large fireball, drop lightning… .
Because it’s impossible to distinguish between fake and fake in all of these things.
An entity that starts the war by activating a magic circle drawn in advance and delivering a big blow or two.
In other words, Jongsu Park thought of magicians as artillerymen in modern warfare.
In fact, although it was only a few times, I had the experience of seeing a wizard in person, and they also said that magic was more difficult to distinguish between friends and foes than with a bow.
The job starts with precisely controlling mana.
But how did that wizard—
“He ran away too far.”
At that time, a voice that should not have been heard came from behind me,
Quang!
“Ugh!”
As if it was natural, an explosion followed.
*
Even though he is an executive, he gets a good response.
Rasha-Flarery is a third-tier magic.
A fire-type elemental magic that instantly compresses and explodes mana in a specific space.
Since the speed at which mana is collected is instantaneous, it is almost instantaneous, but there is definitely a delay.
In particular, when dealing with strong people who protect their bodies with mana, the size of the explosion must be increased, so the time to concentrate mana inevitably increases, and the room for response increases accordingly.
There was a reason why Hyril was never directly hit by Flarey when he fought with me.
Park Jong-su’s eyes changed as he realized that fact.
After being hit a few times, I can roughly understand how to deal with one, right?
Still, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t get the position of vice-leader just by chance.
“Did you come alone?”
There was even a subtle confidence in Park Jong-su’s voice as he said that.
“It turned out well for a car that was at a loss. I was wondering if I should leave Kirnyu… .”
I felt like I was being told behind the scenes that there was no need to do that if they caught me here.
“why. Do you think you can catch it one-on-one?”
“You’re overconfident, wizard.”
“What kind of wizard is a wizard? “Can’t you see this?”
I said that and held out the window.
From noble mtl dot com
Park Jong-su, who saw that, snorted as if he was dumbfounded.
“For a self-defense item, it’s massive. “Why don’t you at least carry a whistle?”
Park Jong-su, who said that, didn’t even listen to my answer and came up to me in an instant and swung his sword.
Kakaan—!
The sword and spear crossed, making a metallic sound.
In the meantime, Park Jong-su twisted his sword once and stabbed through the gap.
It’s a leftover talent that you just do because you learned it without knowing why.
Even though the attack was blocked, Park Jong-su continued to extend his sword.
Dozens like that.
Whoops!
The powerful blows from both sides collided.
Five steps for me, two steps for Park Jong-su.
In terms of stats, Park Jong-soo definitely has the advantage.
However, Park Jong-su frowned, as if he could not believe that an equal battle was taking place.
“What is it, wizard? how… .”
“What is it? “It means your skills are poor.”
Does he really think that he has that level of skill just because he has risen to the position of vice-leader of the Martial Artist League?
A sword that simply follows Rick’s teachings without any sense of enlightenment of its own.
“Have you ever fought someone of similar skill?”
Park Jong-su’s expression shows anger at my words.
That anger must have been similar to the emotions an incompetent king feels when he sees his loyal subjects.
Whick!
This time, I stabbed in the spear first.
Park Jong-su swung his sword to strike down the spear, but with just a slight movement of my hand, the tip of the spear deviated from its trajectory.
Park Jong-su’s face turned red when he realized that he had been tricked.
As time goes by, his achievements pile up and his stats rise, but his swordsmanship remains the same as when he learned it from Rick.
In addition, thanks to the accumulated stats, I would have been able to deal with stronger enemies, and for that reason, I would have mistakenly thought that my skills had improved.
Isn’t it like a seven-year-old child who has grown up?
Instead of continuing my attack, I took a step back and sneered.
“Why don’t you go and ask Rick to teach you a little more? “I’ll talk to you nicely.”
“This bastard… .”
It was an insult that felt old.
Park Jong-su swung his sword roughly.
As I held out my spear and widened the distance, Park Jong-su narrowed the gap in a manner that was close to asserting his superiority.
Since it is clear that he has the upper hand in terms of stats, he has the attitude that he will give it a shot even if it means taking a loss.
The stabbing sword is deflected outwards by touching the pole of the spear.
The opponent, whose balance was lost, lost his balance for a moment and thrust his sword forward.
In an instant, a suitable distance was created for a spear, a sword, or even a closer, bare-handed fight.
Sigh!
I immediately grabbed Park Jong-su’s collar.
A moment of embarrassment flashed across Park Jong-su’s face.
“Rasha-Terrinia.”
Woe!
The blue flames that started from my hand instantly covered the opponent’s body.
“Ahhhhh!
Park Jong-su screamed in pain.
He quickly created a barrier with mana, but the flames that had already penetrated burned the opponent’s body, and Park Jong-su, who lost concentration due to the pain, soon disarmed the mana barrier.
“Ugh, huh!”
Park Jong-su threw down his sword and rolled around on the floor, but that couldn’t have extinguished the flame.
Just as there is nothing better than a fly swatter to catch flies, there is nothing better than fire magic to catch people.
*
A short time of less than 1 minute.
“Hmm… . Hmm… . Save me… .”
Even though Park Jong-su was as black as charcoal, he was still alive and begged to be saved.
The mystery of physical strength… .
I had no choice but to reach out and grab the spear to pierce his heart.
“transaction… . Let’s make a deal… .”
“Didn’t you say that earlier? To understand the topic. “What do you have to give me in this deal?”
“Rick, Rick is going to die… .”
As I was about to stab the spear, I was startled by those words.
“Even the leader and the executives who followed him were all fed to Kang Hyuk… . Even if you go back… .”
Phew!
“Turn it off─.”
The tip of the spear penetrated Park Jong-su’s chest.
“Damn. “If only I could kill Rick one-on-one with that much effort.”
You guys probably weren’t that shattered in the first round.
I swallowed my words.
Even though Rick was dead, he had caused so much damage that it was hard to believe that a small group of people had attacked a large group that controlled the city.
Even if Rick was an awakened blood demon, there was no way he could have been hit that long ago, right?
But just in case, I started running towards where Rick was.
Because you never know if you might be pushed back.
After crossing the alley a few times, I came out onto the main street where the fight took place.
The first thing that caught my eye was the corpses of Mad Dog and the members of the Martial Artist League piled up like a mountain.
And the next thing I saw were hunters sitting down next to me and resting.
Is the fight already over?
Then Rick—
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
Rick looked at me with a tired expression and waved his hand helplessly.
Contrary to his expression, there was not a single wound on his body.
And in front of him, Kang Hyuk, with his right arm cut off, was lying down as if he were dead.
Even though Kang Hyuk’s right arm was cut off, he was still holding the blood sword tightly.
Suddenly, I realized that I had never seen Rick in person when he gave his all during the first episode.
“To catch Park Jong-su. “He was leaving me alone.”
“Did you catch it?”
“I sent it to you. To Earth.”
Rick smiled bitterly at my words.
Still, it seemed like he couldn’t take it easy since he was once his student.
“I have something to check for a moment, so I’ll go somewhere.”
I said that and walked towards Kanghyuk’s severed right arm.
“ah… . Please do so. “We are organizing this place.”
While listening to Rick’s answer, I forcibly opened Kanghyuk’s severed right hand and took out the blood sword.
“This is dangerous, so I’ll take care of it for a while. “Don’t worry, I won’t eat you too much.”
“It doesn’t really matter if you keep it as is—oh, I guess it won’t work. “The kids have scary eyes.”
As I picked up the weapon that seemed the most valuable, the eyes of Rick’s disciples who fought alongside him turned sharply on me.
Rick saw that, laughed and joked, and then asked me as if he was curious.
“But where are you going?”
“Towards the headquarters of the Martial Artists’ League. Park Jong-su said that. He fed Kang Hyuk all the leaders and executives of the leader faction. “I’m going to check for myself to see if it’s true.”
If that is true, wouldn’t it be safe to say that the war is actually over?
“If it’s true, we’ll send out a green signal, so watch the sky carefully.”
Rick smiled and answered what I said.
“If you shoot yellow, I will understand that you are asking for help and I will go out to meet you.”
*
“Who are you!” “Name and affiliation—.”
Quang!
I blew off the head of a low-level member who was trying to subordinate me.
Alliance members who heard the sound rushed out, but after blowing away everything that was in their way, no one came closer.
All of the core forces that knew how to manipulate mana had died in the previous battle, so there was not a single enemy that responded well.
A strange picture was created where I just walked away and the members of the Martial Artist League followed me at a distance, unsure of what to do.
Squeak─
The door to the Martial Artists League headquarters opened easily.
As I opened the door to the conference room on the third floor and entered, I realized that what Jongsu Park said was true.
Corpses that were dried out like mummies, and weapons that looked like commercial goods at first glance.
Piyuwoong─
I walked to the roof of the building and fired a green signal.
War… .
No.
This is how the incident in which the martial artist league made a fuss about trying out a small town came to an end.
