< Chapter 117 - Variable #2 >
&
The number of troops led by the caravan is approximately seven thousand.
But it wasn’t an ordinary Chilcheon.
It was a legion of monsters where all the members were either mines or demons, with not a single pure human being present.
Because of this, it was incomparable to the normal human army in terms of unit combat power.
If you combine the fighting power of all the units, it was a powerful corps comparable to an army of at least 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers.
The two of them attack that caravan unit alone.
Common sense tells us that it was no different from committing suicide.
Even if one had reached the level of a swordsman, he would not be able to survive against seven thousand monsters.
Moreover, the opponents were not only monsters.
There was a caravan of top-tier mines, and there were also two upper-tier mines mixed in.
So you can’t attack.
It is best to avoid it.
But Juder and Cordelia realized almost simultaneously the moment they saw the army of caravans marching at high speed across the Silates Plains, just as the fortress of Karadum had collapsed.
We can’t just let them go.
You must strike at this very moment.
Juder had thought so after seeing that such a large force enter the Silates Plain without any significant obstruction, and Cordelia, as always, had realized it instinctively.
The time for hesitation was short.
Cordelia knew Yuder from Heroes Chronicles 2.
Likewise, Uther also knew Cordelia – the one who was called a human disaster.
So you can do it.
It’s not like it’s a suicidal act.
“show me.”
The moment Uther spoke, Cordelia unleashed her mad wings.
Spreading his beautiful golden wings, the sun god furiously spun the young angel’s ring. It had grown large and was adorned with the glory of the morning.
“This is our Cordelia.”
Human disaster.
One-man army.
Grand Master.
A thousand magical spheres were released from Cordelia and placed in the air. They rushed towards the Caravan army, who were surprised by the tremendous divine power, together with Cordelia.
What happens is a storm.
What is blowing is the golden wind!
“damage!”
The superior mine Dolce shouted, but it was not heard. The golden storm created by a thousand magic spheres swallowed up everything, including sound.
Kwagagagagagagaga-!
A thousand magic spheres rotated.
It swept around Cordelia, destroying and breaking everything in its path.
“Damage! Damage! Split left and right!”
Another high-level mine, Argo, cried out desperately. The monsters also had survival instincts and hurriedly fled, and the caravan’s army was split in two in an instant.
But that didn’t mean the damage stopped.
“Ohhhhhhh!”
Cordelia moved. She flew towards one of the torn units, and at the same time, she fixed Moonlight and cast a powerful spell, releasing the magical power she had charged up in advance.
[Earthquake!]
A powerful earthquake occurred under Melissa’s guidance.
The ground split apart and swallowed up the monsters. The raging storm drove them out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seven thousand was not a small number. Each monster was much larger than a normal human, so Cordelia’s earthquake and storm could not hit the entire army.
But the problem was that Cordelia was moving.
As if it were a real storm – no, a hurricane – it swept across the battlefield, instantly rendering nearly a thousand monsters unable to fight.
“Argo!”
The superior mine Dolce shouted and forced his mine transformation. The giant horns and hard outer shell characteristic of the stag beetle covered Dolce’s body, and Argo also transformed into a mine and spread his butterfly wings.
The tactic was simple.
Dig in.
Penetrates into the center of the storm and strikes Cordelia directly.
The Golden Storm was certainly powerful, but it was only a storm of fist-sized magic balls. The defenses of a high-level mine could easily withstand it.
Dolce and Argo didn’t waste any time. They almost simultaneously rushed towards Cordelia, who was waving wildly among the monsters.
“Woooooooooooo!”
The powerful magic that arose from Dolce’s entire body blocked the golden magic balls. Argo’s roar also shook the air and distorted the trajectories of the magic balls.
Cordelia looked at the two of them. The sight of the mines digging in, holding on with their bodies, reminded her of the old characters from Hero Chronicles 2.
‘That’s it.’
That’s the only way to respond right now.
I already knew.
That’s why countermeasures were also prepared.
Cordelia laughed wickedly.
He made a new hand gesture with a smile that reminded him of a charming feline beast.
Cordelia’s organs.
Among the many veteran characters of Heroes Chronicle 2, only Cordelia was able to achieve crazy control.
The golden storm raged.
Five hundred magic balls still swept around, forming a storm, but the other five hundred did not.
Moves according to Cordelia’s will.
Charge towards Dolce and Argo!
“double!”
At that moment, it split. Five hundred magic spheres became one thousand magic spheres.
“Wow!”
Dolce shouted again and braced his guard. Argo also protected himself with his wings as if he was going to block it.
But it was a foolish move. Cordelia didn’t simply shower each of them with five hundred magical balls.
“Try to stop it.”
No, if you can bear it, then bear it.
Five hundred magic spheres engulfed Dolce. If each of them had struck at random, it would have happened as Dolce had planned.
But that didn’t happen. The moment I blocked the ten magic balls with my body, I realized Dolce.
Kwagagagagagagagagang-!
The five hundred magic spheres never swept randomly. They attacked the same places again as if they were precisely manipulating them.
The accumulated damage was beyond expectations as pinpoint attacks were made in the same place in succession. Furthermore, the attacks did not come from just one direction.
Five places.
It was no use twisting my body. I was attacked again at the exact spot I had attacked.
Kwagagagagagagaga!
The hard outer shell was cracked, the inside was bruised, and there was no strength in the arms.
One hundred consecutive hits.
Five hundred consecutive strikes to five locations!
“Ahhhh!”
Dolce couldn’t hold out. Instead of approaching Cordelia, he was pushed back. His outer shell was shattered, and his entire body was nothing more than rags.
It was the same with Argo. His heart was crushed because his defense was lower than Dolce’s to begin with.
It was a holy power.
The young sun god’s aura in the magic ball acted as poison to the minions. The more they were hit, the weaker their defenses became, and in the end, they were on the verge of being destroyed by the magic ball.
Multitasking beyond common sense.
A miraculous control created by the unconscious and instinct, something that cannot be achieved through calculations.
“Ugh!”
“Cock!”
Dolce and Argo were destroyed. A ring of pure white light enveloped Cordelia, and she felt a lack of magical power. As she absorbed magical power from Malekith’s dragon heart, she created an even more violent storm.
A thousand swirling magic spheres.
Each one of them shone golden, as if another sun had risen on earth.
The monsters caught in the storm literally began to melt.
Caravan gritted his teeth.
The moment he felt the disappearance of Dolce and Argo, he released all the power he had been holding onto as a top-tier mine.
You shouldn’t delve into it ignorantly.
It digs in while countering attacks. It closes the distance in one breath and knocks down the caster.
That was correct.
Even the highest level of magic power could easily push away the shattered, barely blooming Sun Goddess.
Cordelia also knew that. That’s why she didn’t gather the magic balls when the caravan released its power. Instead, she dispersed them over a wider area and opened a path.
The plan I had originally thought of.
The Golden Storm is powerful, but it drains a tremendous amount of magic power.
Furthermore, there were top-tier mines in the enemy camp, so it would be impossible to end it with just a storm.
‘But it’s okay.’
Because it wasn’t just Cordelia herself.
In this place, in addition to Cordelia herself, the master of the great battle, there was also one person present – the strongest player of the great battle in Hero Chronicles 2.
One man invincible.
The king of the arena.
Even Cordelia, a genius in battle, was forced to yield in one-on-one duels, making her a PVP god.
Uder looked straight ahead. He saw the caravan charging towards him from beyond the armies of monsters splitting left and right.
‘Caravan.’
The highest level mine of the devil’s eye.
A schemer, a wizard, and a spider demon with powerful poison.
Four legs rose from behind the caravan. They were long and sharp, like spiders, and deadly venom oozed from their tips.
“Kiaa!”
Caravan’s eyes glowed red and he displayed the power of a top-tier mine. The power was so great that it shook the entire golden storm Cordelia had created.
But why is that?
My heart sinks.
Rather than making my heart flutter, it becomes extremely cold.
Actually, I knew the reason.
I knew this well, having had this experience countless times since my past life.
“Velencia, what should I do? I don’t think I can lose.”
[You’re being cheeky, you little rascal. But actually, I’m like that too.]
It was truly a terrifying aura. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the strongest of all the mines I had faced so far.
But I don’t think it will work.
Only a victorious future is pictured in my mind.
“Sword and Spirit Combination.”
The sword of Belencia was added to Uder.
As I took another step forward, I awakened the power of the Nine Heavenly Gates.
bang!
The power of the Seventh Gate, which exploded like an explosion, shook the world. Not only did it push back the golden storm, it also stopped the oncoming caravan for a moment.
Confusion spread across Caravan’s eyes.
The energy was so powerful that it took my breath away.
And that gap.
Black lightning struck.
Caravan, who had gone into close combat despite being a wizard in order to strike Cordelia in one breath, was unable to completely follow the blazing lightning.
And so the result occurred.
“ah?”
Caravan’s heart froze.
Not only the skeleton horse she was riding, but also the ground her feet had touched was covered in ice.
Black lightning strikes.
What came down with the lightning was just one sword strike.
A crack appeared in the caravan’s chest.
At the same time, cracks appeared throughout the frozen world.
Only then did Caravan realize that Yuder had cut him down and passed him by. He belatedly turned his gaze to follow the energy.
Uther was standing behind him. Instead of launching a second attack, he took the capital.
The Twelfth Flower of the Snow Flower Sword.
A flash of fallen flowers
Quagagagagagaga-
The caravan’s chest was shattered. The ground split, and the skeleton horse was shattered. Thousands of broken ice shards were carried by the fierce wind and covered the sky, making the whole world seem to shine.
“and.”
Enveloped in a ring of pure white light, Yuder couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Because even I myself saw it as an amazing achievement.
As one becomes able to see the horizon, swordsmanship itself advances.
Even if it was a surprise attack, it was an incredible feat to defeat a top-tier mine with a single stroke.
[It’s still far away.]
I just got lucky this time.
Uder admitted.
Caravan was a weaker strategist than the best mines, and was not very skilled in close combat.
If I hadn’t panicked so much just now, if I hadn’t been debuffed by Cordelia’s Sun Goddess, I would have responded much better.
On the other hand, the blow that Uder himself delivered was truly the best. It was a perfect blow that only happens once in ten.
But that doesn’t mean the achievements disappear.
Belencia praised Uther as if he were Count Chase, and Uther smiled and returned to Cordelia.
An army of monsters in disarray.
The mid-level mines and low-level mines that lost their top-level mines and upper-level mines forcibly charged the monsters.
It was a valid means.
The Golden Storm was a magic that consumed an enormous amount of magic power, and as expected, Cordelia’s magic power was depleted.
The storm has stopped.
Cordelia sat down, panting as if she were going to die at any moment.
“Hit!”
“Now is the chance!”
There were still thousands of monsters left.
As they all rushed blindly, the entire surface shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Uther stopped in front of Cordelia.
Instead of looking back at the monsters charging towards him noisily, he reached out his hand to Cordelia.
“Is it as I said?”
“Hey, if I hadn’t caught it in one stroke, my timing would have been completely ruined.”
“So you caught him in one stroke.”
Cordelia ended up laughing as Uther spoke sarcastically.
If it were like before, I would have shot him somehow, but now I don’t feel like doing that.
Love it or hate it – no, now he’s just a pretty swindler in our house.
“Then shall we proceed with the rest as planned?”
Cordelia took Uther’s hand. She cast her magic once more, looking at the army of monsters rushing in like a tidal wave.
“Life drain.”
As for Uther’s infinite stamina, I’ve already felt it to the point of being tired – no, to the point of death – over the past few days.
So, use it without hesitation.
I’ll suck it out to your heart’s content.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The loud noise was close. The distance between the monsters was now less than ten meters.
But Cordelia wasn’t afraid. She smiled once more and cast her spell.
“Sun Light Yellow Overdrive.”
It is the brightly shining yellow plum blossom magic galloping.
A thousand suns rise once again.
The monsters could no longer see ahead.
A golden flash enveloped the world.
&
“I lost.”
“what?”
“The Caravan’s army was defeated!”
