00628 ShowDown. ————————————————– ———————-=
Kuoooooooooooooo!
I squinted my eyes involuntarily at the tremendous roar that shook my eardrums. Even though I raised my magic power with all my might to protect my body, my body naturally trembled from the sound waves that struck me with such tremendous force. I feel like I just want to sit down like this.
Hwareuk, Hwareuk!
In the end, it was only after drawing out the power of Hwajeong that he was barely able to escape the aftermath of the shouting.
‘It’s not a joke.’
Slurp!
After laughing to myself, I opened my mouth and drew my sword.
“Everyone ready for battle.”
And immediately began to look at the grassland and analyze the battlefield.
‘The place is a meadow. user. giant. ‘A monster.’
First of all, judging only by what can be seen, the situation of the war is not really bad. The majority of the corpses that fell on the grassland were giants, and only a very small number were those of users or monsters.
But things are turning strangely. Even though the situation clearly looks favorable, users are hesitating and retreating.
The monsters are even more spectacular. Instead of flying in the sky, everyone was falling to the ground and bowing their heads towards the giant.
okay. Because of the giants.
The reason why a seemingly favorable battle situation feels unfavorable is because of the giants. The sight of the snow shining bright white in the center and encompassing the entire grassland gave off a presence that was enough to overturn the numerical difference. I could feel it instinctively.
‘The curse has been lifted.’
At that time, I suddenly felt a touch gently wrapping around my arm.
“Su-hyun… .”
Go Yeon-joo calls me in a slightly anxious tone. The voice brought me back to my senses, so I slowly turned around.
“… … .”
It’s not just high performance. All the clan members I brought with me looked anxious… . No, he’s only looking at me.
The clan members probably felt it too. The immense pressure from those giants.
However, everyone knows that according to my instructions, they each took up their weapons and prepared for battle. That means we have to deal with that monster from now on.
I opened my mouth quietly.
“let’s go.”
He then turned his attention to the road and started running in the direction where the users were retreating. Soon I heard footsteps following me.
“brother! What are you going to do! Are you going to go in from the side like this?!”
As I was crossing the meadow, I heard Ahn Hyun shouting from behind me. Although he shouted out of excitement, it seemed like he was forcing it to overcome his fear.
“Do you want to commit suicide? “For now, I will join the Northern Expedition!”
After shouting at them, I was staring at the giants who were still standing in place, when suddenly a strange sight came into view. A huge hammer, almost the size of a human body, oozing strange energy was raised high in the sky.
I was able to confirm the identity of the hammer at a glance.
‘It’s Mjolnir.’
It was that moment.
Grumble! Grumble!
Suddenly, countless electric lights accompanied by thunder began to pour down from the dark cloudy sky.
Boom!
The moment a bluish flash of light struck the ground, the lightning began to swirl, creating a dazzling discharge phenomenon. The aftereffects of the shock rush across the region, sweeping away the grasslands.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Kwaaaak!”
Those struck by lightning screamed and were thrown in all directions, and those caught in the aftermath fell helplessly as their entire bodies burned black. It was so powerful that it made people tremble.
However, as if it was not over yet, the dark clouds that filled the sky were still crying loudly.
Soon, clouds collided again and just as thunder was about to rumble in the sky, half of the sky covered in dark clouds suddenly turned golden. Then, just as the blue lightning was about to fall to the ground, a yellow thunderbolt struck almost at the same time and hit the blue lightning in the air.
Lightning and lightning struck.
Flash!
An explosion occurred in the air, turning my vision white for an instant, and white noise pounded my eardrums without mercy. A terrible wind blew as if it would tear my whole body apart.
By the time my vision returned to normal, one clash had already ended. A rain of sparks spraying from the air causes flames to spread throughout the Steel Mountains.
As the surroundings were suddenly filled with heavy drinking and screaming, it was announced that the war, which had been paused for a while, had resumed. The sound of a giant stepping on the ground began to echo everywhere.
That wasn’t all.
Even the monsters that had been bowing down to the giants were slowly showing signs of moving. It spreads its wings wide and flaps them as if they are stretching. It was not a good sign at all. It seems like it would be difficult to deal with just the giants, but it would be difficult to deal with even the monsters.
If there is one fortunate thing among the misfortunes, it is that I was able to find out where my brother was due to the clash a little while ago.
‘In the end, is there only one way?’
As I walked towards the place where I felt my brother’s power, I shouted in a loud voice.
“Vivien!”
“… why!”
The answer came half a beat late.
“Do you see those monsters over there? Can you win? With your army of demonic beasts!”
“W-What?!”
“No, you don’t have to win! “Just bide our time while we deal with the giants!”
“Um, those guys… ?”
Should I say it’s surprising? Vivian stuttered, sounding a little unsure.
I waited a little bit, but no more words came out. I thought I would soon arrive at my brother’s place, so I clicked my tongue and opened my mouth.
“If you don’t have confidence… .”
“Ha, you can do it!”
At that time, Vivian suddenly screamed.
“… “You can do it?”
“okay! “Who do you think I am?!”
“There’s no need to overdo it, right?”
“The crowd is a mess! “I will completely wipe you out!”
It’s clearly a bluff. However, it was a voice that exuded a certain level of confidence. As it has never disappointed me before, I had a strong feeling that it would do so this time as well. No, it absolutely has to be that way.
“Then please!”
“Only when it’s like this every day… !”
Muttering and grumbling continued, but I smiled and turned my attention to the front.
After a while, the image of the older brother slowly giving instructions to the users ahead began to appear.
*
With the awakening of Kushan Thor, the tide of the war was instantly turned. All users fell into confusion for a moment, and Kim Yu-hyeon was no different.
However, Kim Yu-hyeon, who was the first to come to his senses, was busy giving instructions as he watched the giants approaching at every moment.
“Group of 50 people! 50 people each!”
“Never collide head-on! Avoid direct competition at all costs! “Keep taking your time!”
Currently, the entire Northern Expedition was in the front except for the wizards who were placed in the rear.
Here, Kim Yu-hyeon chose an open formation where each group of 50 people took on the giants. Of course, the risk of being defeated individually was very high, but it was unavoidable. There was no time to form a new formation compared to the giants that were approaching at every moment, and I had a strong feeling that even if we tried to gather them all together, they would only be trampled mercilessly.
Rather, there was no choice but to spread out and take as much time as possible while expecting the magicians to focus their fire.
Kim Yu-hyeon, who was thinking that, was biting his lip as he saw the giants approaching 100 meters away.
“brother!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice flowed into my ears. At the same time that Kim Yu-hyeon couldn’t believe her ears, her eyes widened.
“brother!”
However, the moment the voice was heard one more time, doubt soon turned into certainty.
Kim Yu-hyeon’s eyebrows are raised high, and his face of disbelief is turned towards the place where the sound came from. There, about thirty Mercenary Clan members, led by Kim Soo-hyun, were running in an orderly fashion.
“you you… . town?!”
The moment he arrived in front of Kim Yu-hyun, Kim Soo-hyun blocked his older brother’s mouth with his hand as he tried to say something. Then they brought their faces so close that their noses were close to each other.
“First of all, let’s talk later. huh?”
“… … !”
“The situation is urgent. “I’ll help you first, so let’s deal with those guys first and then talk about it.”
“… … .”
Then, Kim Yu-hyun’s brightly shining eyes slowly subsided. Then the light of conflict emerged.
In fact, the biggest emotion Kim Yu-hyun felt when she first saw Kim Soo-hyun was relief, other than surprise.
That was the situation. Although they deployed an open formation almost like Chunhyang, it was a formation that had many problems.
Above all, the problem was that the users who led each group were unhappy. It was said that there was no strong person to take the lead against the giants and lead the users. If I had to say there was one, would it be Gong Chan-ho?
But this is where Kim Soo-hyun appeared.
At least fifteen of the Mercenary Clan members are recognized users wherever they go. No, at least the mere presence of these people can lift the already plummeting morale to some extent. As proof of this, aren’t there already users who are screaming that Kim Soo-hyun has appeared around them?
“got it?”
Kim Soo-hyun asked for confirmation.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Even though a very short time had passed, the sound of the giant’s feet hitting the ground became closer.
Kim Yu-hyeon glanced around and closed his eyes the moment he saw that the giant had approached 80 meters away. She then bit her teeth so hard that they broke.
After a while, Kim Soo-hyun’s hand that was covering his mouth slowly fell.
“… Help me.”
Finally, Kim Yu-hyeon asked for help in a low voice.
“Master. “Can you take command of the wizards for a while?”
At the same time, Ha-yeon Jeong approached and asked to take command of the magicians. In fact, it was a request that completely ignored the procedures, but there was no time to argue about it now. Because the situation was that urgent.
“please. “The wizards are all gathered in the rear.”
Kim Yu-hyeon nodded his head.
This time, Jeong Ha-yeon turned her attention to Kim Soo-hyun.
“Bye.”
Kim Soo-hyun also gave permission.
“thank you. Then, Hanbyeol and Helena, please follow me.”
Then Ha-yeon Jeong smiled brightly and ran to the rear, taking Kim Han-byeol and Helena with her.
“50 meters… .”
Kim Soo-hyun muttered quietly.
Fortunately, thanks to Kim Yu-hyeon’s quick pacification, the Northern Expedition was slowly forming a group and forming a formation. Although they say they are fighting in an open formation, in reality it is no different from a melee.
In this situation, there is only one way to turn the tide and win. Kim Soo-hyun was aware of that.
“good. then… .”
Soon, Kim Soo-hyun turned around, looked at his clan members, and opened his mouth.
“Seon Yu-un, Ko Yeon-ju, An Sol, Baek Han-gyeol. “The four people just followed me and my brother.”
The four people who were called immediately walked to Kim Soo-hyun’s side.
“We will split the group into two. One group has Nam Da-eun as the captain, and the other group has Cha So-rim as the captain… .”
Kim Soo-hyun’s instructions followed and the Mercenary Clan members moved in perfect order.
“And Vivien deals with the monsters like I said before… .”
“Wait a minute, Suhyeon. Dealing with an army of monsters?”
Kim Yu-hyeon was also aware of the changes in the behavior of the strange birds. So, I was stamping my feet wondering how to deal with him, but coincidentally, Kim Soo-hyun came up with a solution.
“Literally. “We have a resident who can summon an army of demonic beasts.”
Kim Yu-hyeon’s face lit up, even if only for a moment.
“then… .”
“Of course, we have someone else to deal with.”
Kim Soo-hyun grabbed Kim Yu-hyun’s arm and pointed straight ahead.
“excuse me… . look.”
“… … ?”
The moment Kim Yu-hyeon turned his gaze to follow the direction his younger brother was pointing, he felt his heart sink.
“That guy must be the leader.”
It was like that. A giant walking in the middle of the grassland, escorted by several giants. Although he is the smallest in size, he is a giant who walks with his eyes burning white and holding Mjolnir in one hand.
How could we forget that giant?
“Kushan… .”
This was when Kim Yu-hyeon, who had checked Kushan, was silently thinking with a devastated face.
“Kim Soohyun! “Kim Soo-hyun came?”
Suddenly, a swarthy man came running from one side like a wild boar.
“… Gong Chan-ho?”
A look passed through Kim Soo-hyun’s eyes as he looked at the man.
“That’s a good thing. “You too, come here.”
“you… . “Uh, huh?”
Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something, Kim Soo-hyun said that everything was going well and motioned for me to come here.
“It’s urgent! “Why don’t you come?”
As he pressed harder once more, a look of dismay crossed Gong Chan-ho’s face. However, as soon as he approached with hesitant steps, Kim Soo-hyun suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him towards him, whispering in a low voice.
“Listen carefully. While our troops take care of monsters and other giants, we take care of the emperor.”
For a moment, Gong Chan-ho was shocked.
“Uh, us?”
“I don’t have time to explain every detail. Just think of it as a caravan. There is only one thing for you to do here. Hold on as much as possible and attract attention. Do you understand?”
Gong Chan-ho also knew the current situation to some extent. He answers half-heartedly and looks around, and sees users standing around him.
“Ah, I understand.”
Gong Chan-ho could barely agree. It was the first time for his users to join forces with Kim Soo-hyun.
While the situation was barely resolved, the giants had come very close.
The seven remaining users in the center all stared at the approaching giants with tense faces.
Warrior, ‘Master of the Surama Spear.’ Gong Chan-ho.
Assassin, ‘Shadow Queen.’ High performance.
Wizard, ‘Emperor the Brain.’ Yuhyeon Kim.
Archer, ‘Shrine.’ Seon Yuun.
Priest, ‘Priest of Radiance’ Ansol.
Keeper, ‘Shield of God.’ Baek Han-gyeol.
Joker, ‘sword expert.’ Kim Soohyun.
With this, the strongest caravan was organized to deal with the demigod who has awakened in the current situation, ‘Kushan Thor’.
It was then.
Suddenly, a change occurred in the movements of Kushan Tor, who had shortened the distance to 30 meters. The walking speed seems to have gradually slowed down, and then he suddenly lifts his foot sharply and slams it down hard on the ground.
Quang!
There was a sound similar to thunder, and a terrifying shock wave rushed in the direction where the force was applied. The ground wriggled mercilessly like waves, and lumps of dirt and stones, unable to withstand the impact, shot up in all directions. This kind of vibration was caused only by pure muscle strength, without any magical action.
The aftereffects of the shock hit the users.
However, Kim Soo-hyun was not the only one to suffer.
“Sigh!”
Kim Soo-hyun suddenly showed off his spirit.
Sigh!
I slammed the sword into the ground with all my might. Then the air gathered around shook like crazy, forming one strong wave.
And, it was that moment.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The moment a rough rotational force was added to the mass of magical energy tearing the air, the wave crashed in a straight line, leaving deep marks on the ground.
The wave sent by Kim Soo-hyun collides with the vibration that is about to hit.
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred in the empty air, followed by a violent explosion.
Did you feel something unusual?
Kuoooooooo!
Kushan Thor paused for a moment and let out a loud roar. The eyes are no longer shining white, but are now blazing hot.
At the same time, a clear flame flows out of Kim Soo-hyun’s eyes as he exposes his white teeth.
With the two monsters facing each other, a new battle finally began.
Throughout Kim Soo-hyun’s first and second rounds, one of the five most intense battles marked the beginning.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
We are now slowly entering the final stages of conquering the 3rd region. ha ha ha.
Kushan Thor awakens as a demigod.
VS.
The best users that can be configured in the current situation.
And a new army of demonic beasts will also appear in the next episode. 🙂
So, have fun reading, and I hope all readers have a good night!
P.S. Thank you to the person who mentioned the BGM called Bios. I just looked at the comments section and listened without thinking, and thanks to that, I was able to write happily today. 😀
