– 10 minutes left until ‘Tutorial Chapter 5 – Defense’
“Everyone, please do a final check thoroughly!”
“yes!”
“What about the catapult shells?”
“Everything is ready!”
“The ship is still intact.”
Chapter five of the tutorial. That is, 10 minutes until the last chapter of the tutorial begins.
The Golden Castle was busier than ever.
With the twin sisters and Go Chang-seok as the main characters, preparations to deal with the monsters have already been made perfectly.
The walls were filled with various water-based weapons, such as ballistae and catapults, and bullets, and people held improved bows, hundreds of arrows placed next to them.
Since it is a battle between two castles, it would be more efficient to use a ranged weapon rather than a melee weapon.
Well, this is also something that can only be done if the castle’s defenses are supported.
“Brother Blood Wolf! How on earth did you do that?”
“Seongmun, it looks really new?”
“You’re not even going to tell us?”
“Tell me! Yes? Yes?”
This is the Golden Castle. It is an A+ class castle known to be the strongest among the dozens and hundreds of castles.
Even if the Sea Serpent we saw before were to run wild, the Golden Wall would not likely be destroyed.
“Everyone, please remain in your seats!”
“yes!”
Following Yu Seo-ah’s instructions, everyone went to their seats.
Seun also took a seat at the exact center of the wall, above the gate, and looked out at the horizon made up of cliffs.
In his hand he held the great bow he had stolen from the lord of the ‘Towered Watchtower’, the ‘Giant Hunter’.
“I hope there will be no problem this time too?”
“of course.”
He reassured the anxious Yu Seo-ah.
Although she maintains an extremely strong appearance in front of others, she sometimes shows a weak appearance in front of Se-woon.
I guess that means Seun is that comfortable.
Se-woon was the only person who could take off the heavy burden of everyone’s expectations from his shoulders.
– 12 seconds left until ‘Tutorial Chapter 5 – Defense’
-The final chapter of the tutorial is about to begin.
-All players are requested to prepare for monster attacks within the castle.
As everyone was swallowing their saliva, watching the numbers in the system decrease by the second, something red quickly came running from the distant horizon.
The identity of the voice that is heard along with it is.
“Hyungniim! I’m up! Seriously, I’m up from the sea!”
It was Park Jeong-pil.
There was no need for it, but Park Jeong-pil noticed that Se-un was interested in the sea and went out to scout.
Park Jeong-pil, running faster than ever before, enters the castle.
Finally, the moment when the number in the system points to zero.
-‘Tutorial Chapter 5 – Defense’ begins.
– Defend your castle and survive by blocking invading monsters.
Monsters began to surge forward like waves from the jagged horizon made of cliffs.
“Ugh-”
“Kueeeeek!”
“Greung, groan… … .”
It’s the same scene I saw before the regression.
Monsters of various shapes, such as half-human, half-fish, water snakes, turtles, and crocodiles, crawled out.
The number of them was so great that they invaded both sides of the vast horizon.
It’s like a scene from a movie.
However, apart from the grandeur felt when watching the movie, the sense of fear from the overwhelming numbers was added.
I thought I was ready, but I saw the hands of the people looking at the monster trembling with nervousness.
Meanwhile, Se-Woon silently raised his bow and pointed it at the horizon.
“Brother, here it is!”
Park Jeong-pil, who had climbed up the wall, shot an arrow at Se-un.
No, it wasn’t an arrow.
pike.
Although it was shorter than a typical spear, it was still a weapon that was at least 1.5 meters long.
Seun, who had accepted the weapon, silently placed the short spear on the bowstring.
The ‘Giant Hunter’ accepted the single-edged sword without any problems, as expected of a giant, but since it was not used in its original way, it let out a ‘thud!’ sound of pain.
At that moment, starting from the bow that Se-un was holding, the entire bow turned dark red.
-The ‘Judgment of the Grad Empire’ is strengthened through internal energy.
-Temporarily increases the elasticity and durability of the ‘Giant Hunter’.
The bow, dyed crimson, withstood Seun’s force and bent even wider.
The bowstring was pulled back so far that the entire shaft of the pike was pulled into the bow.
Just by pulling the bowstring, a crimson power spread out around him, creating an intimidating effect.
All the clan members who felt it focused their attention on Seun.
However, this was not the end. Just before releasing the bow, Se-Woon opened the storehouse of greed and recalled the treasures he had selected in advance.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[Bloodthirsty Machang, Ruin]
– The famous spear of the hero Celthar. It is said that it is a magic spear that must be stored in water because it always spits out flames.
Woohoo!
The power of Ruin was imbued into the single spear, resonating as if it would explode at any moment.
This single spear was also stolen from a weapon used by the lord of the castle, and boasted C-class performance, making it a weapon close to the highest level in the tutorial.
Even a weapon like that seemed difficult to withstand Ruin’s power.
A black flame symbolizing Ruin blazed at the tip of the single spear.
It seemed like he was threatening Se-un by saying that if he didn’t let him go right away, he would explode on the spot.
Seun then obediently accepted Ruin’s request.
Pfft!
The moment he released the bowstring, the spear soared high into the sky as if it would pierce the sun.
Naturally, people’s gaze also followed the arrow.
The moment that gaze goes down.
“Kweee-”
Kwajik!
The head of a giant toad that was approaching from a distance too far to be seen was pierced and its body burst apart.
The impact was so strong that it created a huge crater on the ground, killing dozens of monsters around it.
It would be nice if this ended here, but this is not all of Ruin’s true power.
-The snake tail spear cannot withstand the power of ‘Ruin’ and disappears.
-The latent flame in ‘Ruin’ explodes.
Kwaaaaat!
Hurrah!
Kwarrrrrr!!
It was a similar situation to when I attacked the ogre leader using ‘Hrunting’ before.
The moment the restraints of the single spear broke, the flames embedded in the bloodthirsty magic spear, Ruin, exploded and spread throughout the surroundings.
As its nickname, Machang, suggests, the fire was no ordinary fire.
The most powerful black magic Seun can currently use, Dark Flare, was like a pitch-black flame burning the monsters.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Kueeek!”
“Koo, kkoooo-!”
Their scales are scorched, their flesh burns, their gills rot, and their fins melt away.
The monsters that had just emerged from the water could not stand the flames they were encountering for the first time in their lives and threw themselves back into the sea below the cliff.
but.
Chiiik-
By the time they sank into the sea, it was already too late.
Those whose gills and fins were burned off could not breathe even after entering the sea and slowly died.
The monsters on the ground rolled around on the floor, but the result was the same.
In an instant, hundreds of monsters screamed and died.
-The level has increased.
-The level has increased.
– Personal public service value increases by 1,000 points.
– Personal public service value increases by 1,500 points.
– Defeat the boss monster, ‘Mossy Toad’ to increase your personal reputation by 10,000 points.
…
As long as the flames did not go out, the monster’s screams did not diminish.
With just one attack, the center of the horizon could be cut off.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ gulps at the fragrant smell.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, mutters that even if it is a formless force, it is a waste to use a butcher’s knife to catch a chicken.
Although Mamon was showing his regret, Seun did not feel that way. This attack was not simply intended to reduce the number of enemies.
While reducing the number of enemies… … .
– Enemies facing the flames will fall into fear due to the ability ‘Wolf’s Threat’ of the ‘Red Wolf Armor’!
– The ability ‘Intimidation’ of the ‘Gray Wolf Cloak’ enhances charisma and further aggravates enemy fear!
-Allies’ morale increases dramatically!
It was also intended to increase the morale of the allies.
“Crazy! This isn’t a joke!”
“We can’t just sit still either!”
“Load the catapult, fire!”
“launch!”
Confidence rose from the faces of those who witnessed Seun’s attack.
With this one attack, everyone realized that they could win. No, that winning was a given.
Boom, boom!
A huge boulder fired from a catapult flew into the enemy lines.
The rock, which had been trimmed into a smooth circular shape, rolled along the ground while maintaining its acceleration, and numerous monsters were crushed by it and lost their lives.
Pooh book!
A huge arrow fired from the ballista pierced the large monster’s body. Even the sturdy scales that could ignore even the strongest swordsman could not stop the ballista’s arrow.
Piyuwoong-
Dozens of arrows soared into the sky.
Thanks to their practice, the arrows they shot accurately pierced the monster’s vital points.
The more this happened, the greater the fear engraved on the monsters became, and their movements became slower.
Because of this, they had to lose over a thousand allies before they could even reach the Golden Castle.
I somehow overcame my fear and moved forward, but the reality I faced was even harsher.
Phew!
Kwakwakwang!!
Seun’s clan has not only been repairing the walls and producing water-based weapons.
To block the advance of monsters, numerous traps were set up in front of the castle walls.
The scale was larger than I thought, and it was not something I could jump over.
But the monsters at the front noticed it and stopped moving.
“Key, key!”
Pook, ploop!
The monsters moving from behind were unaware of the trap’s existence.
Because they pushed forward recklessly, the monsters at the front line were aware of the trap’s existence, but their bodies were pushed away and impaled on the thorns below.
Even so, the number of monsters was not in the dozens like in the previous ‘wave’.
Even now, monsters continue to surge forward from the winding horizon.
The monster’s corpse fills the trap, and they use it as a stepping stone to reach the castle walls.
Tiring-
Soft music was heard from somewhere.
-The monsters heard a ‘scream of terror’.
– Many monsters fall into ‘fear’ due to his outstanding performance skills.
– Monsters who are terrified start losing their minds and running wild.
An instrument resembling a fairy. It was played by Syrinx.
However, it wasn’t played by Seun like before.
I thought it was much more efficient to fight than to play the instrument while fighting, so I handed the instrument over to Go Chang-seok along with other weapons.
The person playing the instrument now was one of Seun’s clan members.
His skills must have been quite good, as his performance was as effective as when Se-un used the sheet music.
furthermore.
-The constellation, ‘The Singing Unicorn’, shakes its horns wildly, giving itself over to the melody of terror.
Before Seun knew it, a new constellation was looking at the owner of the instrument.
The singing unicorn.
Amdusias, the 67th Demon King in the series.
Already, Seun’s clan had more than ten players who had been chosen by the constellation, which was considered difficult to select.
This is also said of the 72 Demon Kings who wield great power in the axis of evil spirits.
“Kang Han-cheol, let’s go.”
“i get it.”
“I will follow you too!”
Se-un climbed up onto the railing of the castle wall, appreciating the beautiful melody.
If he could just block the monsters’ advance, he would be able to pass the last chapter of the tutorial with ease, but Seun’s goal was not simply to ‘pass the tutorial’.
Taat!
Se-un, Kang Han-cheol, and Yoo Seo-ah.
From the railing of the Golden Castle, three players leap towards thousands of monsters.
