Episode 275
EPISODE.138
At the time Russell’s consciousness reached the pantheon, the situation in the material world was gradually becoming more and more chaotic and heading towards the worst.
“Aaaah! die!”
“Die, monster!”
The sound of people using evil weapons can be heard everywhere. Then, a long spear suddenly rose up among the shield bearers.
Puff, Puff, Puff-.
The soaring long spear pierced the bodies of the charging monsters like skewers, and, voila!
Dark and sticky blood pours out like a fountain, soaking the entire area.
Through the combination of shield beast and spear beast, he was able to kill more than ten monsters in one go.
but… … .
“Here we come again!”
“Come again!”
The shield guards who were observing the situation at the forefront shouted in astonishment, looking exhausted.
As they shouted, a group of monsters were rushing towards them again.
“Shield Beast! Hold on tight! “The moment you miss, not only your lives but the entire phalanx will collapse!”
“Changsu, retrieve the spear! The Buwolsu and Swordsmen block the monsters that come over the shield!”
The knight, who gave orders with a sharp grin, gritted his teeth.
The pressure was so strong that blood began to seep out along the gums that were pressed together as the teeth came together.
Meanwhile, the knight moved his gaze to check the scene beyond the shield.
Crack, cluck, cluck.
The cries of an unknown monster echoed from all directions under the purple sky.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-
No, it’s not just monsters.
The dead and the undead who returned from the dead were also mixed in among them.
There were so many of them that it was impossible to see another friendly phalanx just a few dozen meters away.
‘How long can I last?’
Thinking like that, the knight adjusted his sword. For some reason, the number of monsters was more than twice as large as what was reported.
This is probably because other monsters were born in the meantime and their numbers increased.
Nevertheless, the knights and soldiers were not surprised.
In the battles over the past two weeks, there were many times where the number of monsters was greater than what was reported.
Because they have overcome such fierce battles. However, that luck seemed to last until today.
‘It’s not a boat.’
Not two or three times, but more than five times. The battle had already been going on for four hours without stopping.
As long as I was human, I had no choice but to get tired.
Now, it will only be a matter of time before the defense collapses.
‘Can we hold out until reinforcements arrive?’
As soon as such a thought occurred in the minds of the knights and soldiers, wow!
A sound that made them despair rang out.
A monster shaped like a huge whale was flying towards us from the other side of the sky, cutting through the sea of clouds.
“Here we come again!”
“It’s Overload!!!”
The number is dozens!
The soldiers shouted hysterically at the sight of them appearing one by one.
It has to be that way.
Although his real name is unknown, the Overlord, which means overload, usually has hundreds to thousands of monsters riding inside his body.
Something with a whale-like shape was passing through the sky, scattering them towards the battlefield.
In that respect, the Overlord was enough to become an object of fear for soldiers.
Pawuuuu-.
As the Overlord’s shadow covers the ground, the face of the knight in command gradually turns as white as a sheet of paper.
This was because the number of enemies swarming inside their bodies was confirmed.
It was clear that if that number of monsters fell here, not only those present but also the defense line would be completely destroyed.
That moment.
bang!
The flames shoot out like a cannonball and penetrate the Overlord’s body.
As if that wasn’t enough, it caused a series of explosions and instantly burned the monsters inside.
Pawuuu-!
The Overlord’s large body tilted downward, letting out a scream that felt completely different from before.
It started to fall slowly.
Patter, patter-.
The corpses of monsters that have turned into corpses fall like rain, piece by piece.
A penetrating ability that pierced the Overlord’s large body in an instant, and even a single blow that completely destroyed the monster inside.
This was no ordinary attack.
Among the many wizards belonging to the Day and Night Alliance, there were only two who could do something like this.
An archmage who can do the same thing as me alone, and the owner of the Flame Tower.
Daria Snowwhite is here, or else—.
“Ji, reinforcements!”
“The War Mages of Flame Tower have arrived!”

─Only the explosion magic created by the War Mages of the Flame Tower in conjunction.
The knight on duty wiped away his sweat as he faced the flames rising toward the sky with the spying war mages appearing one after another.
I breathed a sigh of relief and muttered without realizing it.
“Today… … “I wonder if you held on somehow.”
As they said, all they endured was today.
No one knew the answer to the question of how many more days and how long this war would have to continue.
.
.
It wasn’t just the battlefield where the situation was getting serious.
Although it was not as bad as the battlefield, the situation in the royal capital, where all information was gathered and reported, was equally serious.
“This is a request for support from the direction of the 7th Corps on the Eastern Front.”
“Requests for support are also being received from the southeastern front, areas where the Knights of the Bronze Thorn are located… … .”
“The Naze Alliance dispatched a War Mage… … .”
“The supply route heading towards the 12th and 9th Corps has been raided! If we don’t open a new supply route right now… … !”
Endymion’s regent, Hecate, frowned at the reports coming in one after another.
‘There are too many requests for support.’
They say they are continuing to send latecomer units to where they are needed, but it is clearly visible that the speed at which support is being sent is not keeping up with the speed at which requests are coming.
All of this was due to the monster army increasing more than twice as much as expected.
If things continued like this, it was clear that the Federation’s personnel would have to continue retreating due to overwhelming numbers.
They continue to advance, reaching their base… … It was a proper situation to attack the imperial capital of the old empire, where monsters were pouring out.
On the contrary, we might have to retreat.
‘That’s the only thing that needs to be prevented-.’
What’s even more problematic is that there is no immediate solution.
‘The situation would be much better if we created and sent a second conquest army, rather than supporting a small unit… … .’
The problem was the time it took for them to gather a conquering force large enough to be called a large army and for them to reach the battlefield.
Pressing her temples, Hecate adjusted her pen.
There are a lot of things to worry about, but now is the time to solve the problem at hand as quickly as possible.

“therefore… … A cultist who wore the emperor’s guise. Are you saying that a bastard named Vlad Draculea was your ancestor’s disciple and that he stole your body?”
This is not a three-line summary, but a two-line summary. Muttering that, Kim Hyun-seong, the savior of the other world, nodded.
“For now, right?”
A voice full of regret, looking at Russell’s eyes while speaking.
It was worth it.
The person who first taught magic to Vlad Draculea was none other than his ancestor.
“There were a few odd corners, but he wasn’t that crooked to begin with.”
As he spoke, Kim Hyun-seong licked his lips.
According to his explanation, Vlad Draculea was a wizard with quite good talent even by the standards of the era of mythology.
That is why Kim Hyun-seong took him in as a disciple, even though he was an orphan.
But unfortunately, I never thought it would be the seed of all misfortune.
Thanks to his decent talent, he continued to grow at an incredible rate, and for the first time he could be called a wall… … It was at a fairly young age that I reached the milestone of becoming a superhuman.
An achievement achieved in less than a few years after entering magic.
However, too much talent can actually be toxic.
Too much is too much (過猶不及).
For him, who had never learned how to face frustration and face challenges, the first wall he faced in his life could be said to be despair itself.
A wall that is infinitely high and yet appears solid.
Meanwhile, right next to him was Kim Hyun-seong, who was called the savior of the other world.
“He was called my student and had a lot of expectations for him, so he must have been under a lot of mental burden.”
Recalling that time, Kim Hyun-seong muttered with a bitter expression.
“At that time, I was intoxicated with my own pride, and I was not a proper human being who could look back on the despair that my student faced.”
In the meantime, he met cultists, and Vlad Draculea changed.
He became corrupted by borrowing the power of demons and demon lords to overcome the wall that he could not immediately jump over with his own talent.
In this way, Vlad Draculea, the first cultist in history to reach the rank of transcendental, was born.
“The real problem arose during the later God Demon War.”
The war between gods and demons broke out after Giganthomachia.
“The war somehow ended when I completely destroyed the passage to the demon world, but the situation after that was not very good for us either.”
As a result of the successive wars, all the gods who walked the earth had to leave the material world.
“It was after that that he stole my body.”
As the passage to the demon world was blocked and growth was no longer possible, what caught the eye was the body of the other world savior whose soul had left.
“I think he was thinking of using my divinity that remained within him to further raise his status… … .”
He scratched his head.
“The problem is that he discovered another possibility there.”
“Another possibility?”
“okay.”
Kim Hyun-seong continued speaking with an embarrassed expression.
“As you can see from the nickname ‘Otherworld Savior’ or the completely different style of the name, I am not from this world. Strictly speaking, it could be said that it is a being that came from outside the world. That means… … .”
“Foreign God… … .”
Russell’s head nods heavily as he mumbles.
“If the contract with the demon world is completely severed, then from outside the world. “That is the possibility he discovered.”
That was precisely the reason why we wanted to bring in foreign media.
An absurd secret history related to one’s ancestors that has been passed down from the mythical era.
Russell, who heard the secret, looked dumbfounded for a moment and then asked back.
“Then wouldn’t it be okay for you to come forward yourself now?”
Olympia and Asgard.
Erin and the Dragon God Realm.
If all these worlds exist, their gods must also exist. If they come forward—!
“If that were possible, we wouldn’t be doing this.”
─I was hoping for something, but the answer I got back was an uneasy sigh.
