How to Survive as a Player Chapter 253

#253

[Yes, we are all in our respective locations. Do not worry!]

During this war, the Celestial Race was assigned to assist other empires as planned. Their main role was not only to provide buffs, but also to find and restore the injured. It was no different with Tyra’s empire.

“Tira said that he has a separate skill that can restore the designated empire.”

“Yes, I did.”

“Then, please specify Mr. Teo’s Protection Empire as the skill target. If possible, give intensive treatment to the vassals of Tira’s empire who use protection skills.”

“I will deliver it to my vassals.”

While Tyra, who had fallen behind, contacted her vassal through the communication ring, Sehyun stared endlessly at Ruhak’s back on the deck. Ruhak was looking at the vassals deployed on the battlefield.

Currently, the front line was organized around the strongest empires. Among them, Sehyeon’s empire was at the forefront. The pressure is indescribable. Se-hyeon, who is watching this from above, is also breathless.

“… “Ellix.”

[Crackling-]

Sehyun lifted the ring on her hand and shouted the communication starter word. To avoid any confusion, the ring’s code is now only connected to his empire. Sehyeon’s words will be delivered to all the vassals of the Black Empire, including Ruhak.

“Everyone listen carefully.”

There was only about an hour left until the ‘final battle’. I couldn’t say big things to boost their morale, but I could say anything that would help them protect themselves.

“You charge after the shooting. If you can afford it, you can help others, but still protect yourself first. Live first, kill first. Don’t forget that if you fall, the entire camp will fall behind you. And if possible… .”

There were many vassals on the battlefield who could not be resurrected. Life was over once you died. Nevertheless, many vassals claimed to be on the front lines and stood in the middle of the battlefield as armed soldiers.

There was only one thing Sehyun could say to them.

“… Come back alive. “I will hug you with love.”

These words were also said to Kwak Jeong-han and Aul. Even though the two are hero-level, they cannot be resurrected simply because they are road players. It was my only life. Nevertheless, Kwak Jeong-han and Aul claimed to be the front line ahead of anyone else.

“Ruhak. From now on, you are in full control outside. “I have to command the Celestial Race.”

[I will do so.]

The soft words reminded me of last night’s oath. Sehyeon remembered the intonation and voice that whispered that he would come back alive. Sehyeon ended his communication, trying hard to suppress the emotions rising up into his throat as if they were regurgitating.

The role of the entire army on the battlefield was to hold out until the ‘time’ came when weapons could be used.

I don’t even hope to not get hurt. She didn’t even have the wild idea that there would be no sacrifice at all. There was nothing more she could ask for as long as she could endure as long as she had done so far.

“Mr. Bill Will.”

[Please speak.]

Sehyun’s gaze turned to my side. Billwill, floating in the air, answered, putting on her hat. Sehyeon asked, looking at the weapon that was as long as the spear in Bilwill’s hand.

“How long can you last?”

The guides floating among the airships that filled the sky were constantly watching beyond the fog, each with a fighting spirit. It was to fight the final battle together.

[I can’t last long. It will be about half a day.]

Billwill said, brushing the surface of the weapon he held in his hand with his fingertips. The weapon, which was the size of a long sword when Ruhak pulled it out, was continuously increasing in size.

Billwill was currently preventing the expansion of that volume. Originally, the weapon should have been as big as what was seen in the real world. However, most of the central empires, including Fen, agreed to hide Mugu’s existence until the ‘right time’ came.

This was to prevent a situation where monsters could attack in large numbers like in the Realization World.

“… “Maybe there will be a conclusion by then.”

Judging from the brief scene the goddess showed, the conclusion will probably be reached soon, even if the time taken to swallow this planet is not counted. A long game was rather unfavorable for this side.

[Then I will just leave. Please call me when the time comes. I wish you good luck and good health.]

Billwill bowed his head politely and soon disappeared from the airship. When Bill Will reappeared, she was far up in the sky. There, Bilwil looked at her scattered guides and began her final preparations.

There is only about 1 hour left.

The sound of hitting the barrier spread faintly beyond the fog. It sounded as if the surface of the barrier was being crushed by something huge. The barrier, which was losing strength, seemed to announce that the time for decisive battle was approaching.

War clouds hovered over the battlefield. When the intermittent thumping sound stopped for a moment, Sehyun felt a hand grabbing her sleeve. When I looked to the side, Jaeyoung Lee was blinking blankly and pointing somewhere.

“… Brother, that… .”

Se-hyeon, Baek Do-hyun, and T-ra’s gaze went straight to that direction. Jaeyoung Lee’s fingertip pointing into the air. There was a bright red dot floating there.

Sehyeon’s gaze blinked. I could only stare at it from afar for a moment, and the red dot soon doubled or tripled in size, completely filling the surrounding area. The red dot that grew in an instant blurred my vision.

Everyone knew what it was. Dots fluttering like snow at the end of a blank gaze.

That was the ‘red ash’ that I saw in Sehyun’s embodied world.

[It seems that what happened in the world of realization was not for nothing.]

“Mr. Fen, Mr. Baluk. We need to narrow the gap in the rear ranks little by little. “I think it will be difficult to see ahead because the red ash will block the view.”

[I will inform our ranks.]

“Mr. Yoo Si-un. Celestials should fly as high as possible. “You have to split into two sides and keep an eye on both the front and the back.”

[Yes, I will tell you everything.]

From the moment the red ash flew, the area where the monsters appeared became unspecified. If we assume that a disaster similar to the world of Se-hyeon’s manifestation on the 90th floor occurs, the possibility of monsters appearing simultaneously from all directions cannot be ignored.

Quang-!!

A huge explosion was heard from inside the fog, like a thunderclap. Then the ground shook and tension hovered over the battlefield. It was at that time that Tyra muttered something.

“Why time… .”

Tyra’s expression was blank as she stared into space. However, her blank expression became uncontrollably distorted after a moment.

“This time… “Time is running out!”

At the sharp cry, Sehyun stared at the system window that flickered before her eyes. The barrier’s grace period, which was about an hour, was now rapidly decreasing. It was about three times the speed.

The rapidly decreasing numbers shook with noise. There was an uneasy silence. Everyone held their breath and just looked at the time passing with a stern expression. Looking at the time, the remaining time was approximately 10 minutes.

Sehyun looked at this with a stern gaze and opened her mouth with a scared feeling. His fingertips became stiff with urgency.

“We need to prepare quickly.”

[All troops, prepare to fire!]

[This side will also begin preparations for aiming.]

[Well, we’ll prepare it too… !]

Hundreds of airships filled the sky and soon began preparing to fire. The clanking sound of the moving batteries announced the time of the decisive battle to the vassals on the battlefield. The place where the airship’s gun, where the explosive light was shining, was aimed was beyond the distant fog.

[…] Everyone, I hope you survive well.]

[I wish you luck.]

[We, the Celestials, will do our best. I must live… .]

Yu Si-un’s watery voice came from behind me. Sehyeon couldn’t look back. All he could do now was watch his time dwindling.

3 minutes.

[please… See you again.]

My molars clenched at those words. Her heart started pounding like it was going to jump out of her mouth. All of her calm emotions were now overflowing. Her eyesight was dizzy and blurry due to her nervousness.

2 minutes.

Before we knew it, everyone on the airship was looking at Sehyeon. Sehyun looked at the battlefield with the feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff. He conveyed the feeling that the fog that had begun to clear over the quiet battlefield was closing in on the pathless depths of the sea.

There is something in front of you that is so huge that you can’t even imagine. Sehyeon pressed the radio button with trembling fingers. From now on, the sound spoken will be transmitted to all airships on the battlefield and ready to fire.

“Ready to shoot.”

1 min.

This is just a fuse that signals preparation. The bright red fireballs of the magic cannons on the airship’s battery heralded the omen of war. The tension continued, making even the fur stand on end. Sehyun, who was counting the seconds in her head, held her breath as she watched the front.

It was the long-awaited finale. Even if this end is death, there is no need to consider it a failure.

I just had to do my best. He should have tried that hard. I just had to struggle until the end. There was no better fertilizer in this world than fighting for survival.

So, there was no need to dismiss all these actions as meaningless.

“All troops, start firing!”
