As soon as they entered the gate, two sand leopards collapsed from their seats.
After maintaining maximum speed for a full three hours, I was not only exhausted but also dehydrated.
When a few soldiers brought him a jug of water and fed him, only then did his breathing begin to stabilize.
“thanks.”
“Greung… … .”
Seun stood up from his seat, gently stroking the leopard’s forehead.
Because of the shaky posture, my mana and internal energy were barely recovered, but my stamina had recovered to some extent.
It doesn’t matter where you recover mana, so I thought I’d do it on the walls. That way, I’d be able to understand the battlefield better and participate in the battle more easily.
Yasha had already moved to the command room on the wall to command the soldiers.
Everyone in the surroundings was moving around busily due to the monster’s attack.
“Mr. Seun!”
“Yuseo-ah, how’s the situation?”
“It’s still holding up well. Above all, Hancheol is holding up well.”
Kang Han-cheol stands alone, guarding his position behind the firmly closed gates.
Many monsters tried to surpass him, but it was impossible.
Because before he could even touch Kang-cheol’s fist, he lost his life when his body was pierced by sand grains that burst out as if an explosion had occurred.
Agares’ power to control earthquakes was exerting its powerful force in all directions.
– Players dominate the battlefield of Nammun.
-Tarantula’s web covers the battlefield.
-Allied combat power increases, and enemy movement speed is slightly reduced.
There was a reason why Yoo Seo-ah didn’t engage in close combat like Kang Han-cheol.
Her potential for domination was not limited to dominating monsters she had defeated, as was shown last time.
It was also possible to increase the combat power of friendly forces by dominating the battlefield as it is now.
Moreover, the power of her constellation, Baal, was very compatible with the power of domination.
In such large-scale battles, it seemed that acting as a commander like this could give the clan greater strength.
I took a seat in a place with a clear view of the battlefield and started to recover my mana.
Then, I heard a familiar sound of music that I had heard before.
It was such a soft and beautiful sound, but it didn’t seem to be for the monster.
-The monsters heard the ‘Cry of Confusion’.
– Due to his outstanding playing skills, many monsters fall into ‘confusion’.
-Confused monsters lose their senses and start attacking allies.
The ‘Fairy-like Instrument’ obtained by defeating the contractor of the board set during the tutorial. It was one of the abilities of that instrument.
When I turned my head, I saw a woman playing an instrument made of woven reeds at the highest point of the wall.
The way the wind blew around her looked quite mysterious.
If we look at just musical talent, Se-Woon’s performance was even better than when he played ‘Rough Sea Sheet Music’.
-The constellation, ‘The Singing Unicorn’, gently swings its horn while appreciating the melody of chaos.
It was an incredibly beautiful melody to the allies, but it was an extremely terrible song to the monsters.
The confused monsters began to attack the allies.
Although their numbers were not that large, the more their attacks on our forces continued, the more confusion there became among them.
It seemed that the confusion was further amplified by the power of the 67th rank Demon King, Amdusias, who was the ‘Singing Unicorn’, her constellation.
-Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Poisoned Ward’.
Phew!
Purple liquid burst out like a water balloon over the monsters’ heads.
The liquid spread widely across the battlefield on a sandstorm, and in an instant, hundreds of monsters were covered in the liquid.
This alone didn’t kill him, as the monsters were stronger than those he had encountered on the lower floors, but it was enough to worsen his condition and slow his movements.
As the attack continued, monster corpses piled up in front of the castle walls.
At first, the corpses made an excellent wall to block the monsters’ advance, but as their height gradually increased, the story changed.
Monsters have emerged that try to climb the walls using the corpses of their comrades as stepping stones.
If they manage to climb up the walls and damage the water weapons, the situation will change drastically.
We had to do something to stop them from climbing the walls.
At that moment, Baekhyun, who was controlling the undead from behind, approached Seun.
“I think this will be enough.”
-The constellation, ‘The Horse That Tramples Death’, cannot stop being excited about the upcoming festival.
What are you trying to do that you are so excited about that you are going to go all the way to Kamigin?
No matter how great Baekhyun’s skills were, he couldn’t raise that many corpses at once.
As Se-Woon thought about the necromancer’s magic, a magic flashed through his mind.
‘no way…….’
Baekhyun furiously rotated the dark circles he had created through Seun.
Unlike when controlling the undead, the mana flowing out of the circle spread widely across the battlefield.
The mana that settled on the corpses on the battlefield spread like a virus to the surrounding corpses.
It seemed as if all the piles of corpses that filled the battlefield were within his grasp.
In this way, Se-un was able to confirm his prediction.
He stopped building up his mana in preparation for the impending impact and opened up a wide shield in front of his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Baekhyun clenched his fists and raised the corners of his mouth as if he was in ecstasy, unlike his usual serious expression.
“Corpse explosion.”
The piles of corpses on the battlefield began to rise all at once.
Kwaaaaang!!!
A loud noise, as if a bomb had been dropped, filled the battlefield.
The soldiers manning the weapons stopped all at once, covered their ears, and crouched low to endure the wind pressure.
The weapon, which was installed in a hurry and lacked stability, could not withstand the wind pressure and even shook.
If this is the amount of wind pressure felt on the walls, what would it be like for monsters that were directly hit by the explosion?
‘crazy…….’
It was literally destroyed.
Centered around the area where the pile of corpses had been, all traces of the monster had completely disappeared.
In a single attack, over a thousand monsters were killed, so gruesomely that not a single corpse was left behind.
Fortunately, the blast radius was set well so it didn’t reach the castle walls, but if I had made a mistake, the walls would have collapsed.
“Indeed, it was a success! As expected, the power of the explosion was greatly increased by using gas created by instantly decaying the corpse, rather than a normal corpse explosion! With this method… … .”
Baekhyun smiled broadly at the gruesome sight before his eyes and continued his explanation.
Obviously, when we first talked, that wasn’t the image I had.
Now, the white gown he was wearing suited him so well, it felt like looking at a mad scientist.
At that moment, his nickname, Sea of Corpses, seemed more fitting than ever.
Anyway, thanks to that, the tense atmosphere of the battlefield was able to be rectified in an instant.
Because the corpses were all torn to pieces, they could no longer be used as stepping stones to climb the walls.
Not only were all the monsters around the corpse annihilated, but the walls became slippery due to the monsters’ bodily fluids sticking to them, making it even more difficult to climb the walls with bare hands.
It was a perfect hit.
“… … If you’re going to attack like this, shouldn’t you at least say something?”
“Oh, sorry! I didn’t think about that! Are you okay?”
“There was a suitable shield, so there was no harm done.”
“That’s fortunate!”
Kang-cheol Kang climbed up the wall with sticky fluid all over his body.
Perhaps the shield he was talking about also refers to a monster.
I don’t know how they managed to climb up this slippery wall, but it looked like it would be difficult to continue fighting in that condition.
Swish!
“… …Thank you.”
As Se-woon stretched out his hand, water droplets rippled around Kang-cheol.
Clean Shower. It was a life magic that was used to destroy the anthill on the 9th floor.
Kang Han-cheol’s body, which had been sticky and wet, including his equipment and even his hair, was instantly cleaned.
“Would you like to take a short break?”
“No. I still have enough stamina.”
-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Open War·Zen’.
Kwaaaaang!!
Kang Han-cheol jumped down from the wall once again.
I guess the reason I came up was because the monster’s bodily fluids made it difficult for me to move.
Even though he was guarding the gate alone, he still had plenty of stamina. To that extent, I thought he had not only built up strength but also pure stamina.
Of course, the sum total of all abilities will never surpass Seun.
‘You’re holding up better than I thought.’
Honestly, I didn’t know the Diablo clan would become this strong.
I figured that some level of difficulty was unavoidable, and I hoped to hold out at least long enough to recover some mana.
But now, their power far exceeded Seun’s expectations. Far from being a classic, they were overwhelmingly defeating the monsters.
Even though Se-un never interfered with it even once.
Everyone has climbed up to the 10th floor of the tower and it seems they have grown more than Seun had expected.
Looking around, I saw that the number of players who had signed contracts with new constellations had increased even more than before.
Of course, all of them were constellations known as the 72 Demon Kings.
It was a sight that truly lived up to the name of the Diablo clan, which means devil.
‘I can’t just rest alone like this.’
Seun, who had recovered enough mana, stood up from his seat.
I glanced down at the back of the sword, but the heat still lingered on the sword.
Even if he was Durangdal, it would be difficult to use Mamon’s treasures continuously, so he needed to let him rest until his sword cooled down.
If so, there is only one attack left.
There was no better way to deal with such a large army than magic.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Ice field ]
– The ice-based attack magic of the Blue Tower turns the designated area into a land of cold, freezing all enemies on it.
Dduk dduk!
A cold frost appeared at Se-un’s fingertips.
The circle spun furiously, defining the extent of the ice field.
Ice Field could increase its attack range as much as it breathed mana into it.
Anyway, the situation is relaxed, and all I have to do is gather new mana. I invested more than twice the amount of mana I originally needed to greatly increase the range of my magic.
As soon as the scope is set.
-The power of ‘Ice Field’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
– The speed at which the ‘Ice Field’ freezes increases according to the Green Tower’s magic.
– The stability of the ‘Ice Field’ is strengthened according to the magic of the Blue Tower.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The desert ahead froze over coldly.
The monsters passing by felt the cold for the first time in their lives, and had to vividly feel their bodies stiffen.
The legs freeze first, then the torso, then the arms and neck.
There were some who forced themselves to move their bodies to escape the cold, but instead, their frozen bodies began to break apart and they died sooner than others.
And soon after, all the monsters within the range designated by Seun turned into white statues.
The statues, shining in the sun, were truly works of art.
Not long after the battle began, more than half of the monsters had already been defeated.
What’s left is the other half of the monsters.
Thud, thud.
The boss monster of the 10th floor trial, ‘The Coming Sandstorm’.
and…….
“Kuaaaah!”
Seun was another boss monster that appeared while completing the hidden quest.
