◈ 258. [STAGE 10] Full moon night (5)
A little while ago, the foreword.
The point at which Junior had just joined the west gate defense.
Standing on top of the castle wall, Junior was taken aback by the sight he saw.
“What is this… … .”
Outside the west gate, several soldiers were captured by werewolves.
The Werewolves were advancing forward with their soldiers standing forward like shields, and the soldiers on the wall trembled while aiming their bows at the monsters.
“What the hell is this?”
“Because the werewolves who came in first ran away… … Hans, the captain of the front gate, went in pursuit.”
One of the soldiers aiming a bow answered Junior’s question.
“It was a trap. Dozens more werewolves appeared… … The pursuers were all captured.”
“You fools! You only have to do Mercury, so why pursue it!”
“Their first attack killed half of the garrison.”
I saw the fallen soldiers in a mess on the wall. The soldier who explained it gritted his teeth.
“Hans said he couldn’t let the runaways go like this, and he went after them.”
“Even though… … !”
At that time, among the captured soldiers, the youngest and youngest man – Hans, the captain of the garrison, shouted loudly.
“What are you doing! Shoot!”
“… … !”
“Are you going to endanger everyone within the walls because of us?! Go ahead and shoot!”
Hans yelled at the soldier next to Junior.
“Shoot, Miller! hurry!”
“Kuh… … !”
But the soldier, Miller, cried and lowered his bow slowly.
“Mo, I can’t shoot.”
Miller spat out excuses that were not excuses to Junior in a trembling voice.
“Hans, that guy is my friend. They are like brothers who grew up together since childhood. how… … How can I kill you with my own hands?!”
Outside the walls, Hans screeched.
“It’s an order from the garrison commander, bastards! Come on, shoot it!”
At the word “order,” several of the trembling soldiers let go of their bowstrings.
Patter!
hooked! Pupuk!
Arrows rained down. And the Werewolves calmly raised human shields to block the arrows.
“evil! Aaaagh!”
“Quaaaaa! it hurts! It hurts!”
The arrow-pierced soldiers let out screams full of pain. Even Hans, who had arrows stuck in his stomach and knees, could not stand it and let out a moan.
The Werewolves giggled and narrowed the distance towards the wall.
The faces of the soldiers on top of the wall were white.
Sensing with his whole body that the fighting spirit of the defense unit had rapidly weakened, Junior stepped forward.
‘I have to stop it.’
Casting magic, Junior tried to judge calmly.
‘As long as they’ve already been captured by the werewolves, all those soldiers are dead. It’s not the time to admit it. Wipe out the werewolves at once with wide-area magic… … !’
however.
despite knowing it in my head.
The days of childhood suddenly flashed in Junior’s mind as he raised the elements of lightning and wind.
The screaming soldiers who were used as human shields overlapped with the people who died from lightning strikes and wind in their childhood village.
‘No, no! It’s different from that day!’
This is unavoidable.
An inevitable sacrifice for a greater cause… … .
‘Who judges the cause?’
Junior hesitated.
To weigh lives, to do additions and subtractions, to be willing to give away the lives of allies if need be.
Junior did not have the capacity as a leader to do the job.
Junior was unable to fire his magic at the hostages and froze. And at this moment, the fate of the preface was decided.
Taat-!
The werewolves, who judged that they had narrowed the distance sufficiently, kicked off the ground and started running.
Junior hurriedly changed the magic element to water and shot a huge spray, but
late.
Chow ah!
Dozens of werewolves, swept away by the spray that stretched out like whips, fell as they were.
However, the first couple of birds managed to break through the spray and reach the gate.
Taat-!
The foremost of them, a huge white werewolf, kicked off the ground and started climbing up the walls at incredible speed.
White Werewolf.
There are only 4 of the Werewolf Corps, the highest elite monster next to the Wolf King.
The White Werewolf, who skilfully avoided Junior’s successive water bombs, climbed onto the castle wall and clung to Junior, brandishing his claws.
“Keugh!”
Fighting hand-to-hand with the giant white wolf, Junior shouted at the soldiers.

“I will deal with this monster, you guys stop the rest of the wolves!”
“Ha, but… … .”
“Stop!”
Blocking the wolf’s teeth with his cane, Junior let out a scream-like roar.
“Stop it!”
The soldiers who came to their senses began to shoot their bows back to the battlefield outside one by one.
But the response was delayed.
Dozens of Werewolves had already started clinging to the walls of the castle.
The garrison, which had lost a lot of personnel and had its commander arrested and their morale ruined, did not have the strength to successfully stop them.
at last,
Krrr… … .
Krrrrr!
One by one, werewolves climbed onto the wall.
Taang! Taang-!
Damian urgently launched support fire from the southern wall, but it was not enough. In an instant, the werewolves on the castle wall multiplied.
Pooh! Pucak-!
“Ah!”
“Save me, save me!”
It didn’t take long for the claws and teeth of the monsters to overrun the garrison on the wall.
Soldiers who had served as shields and hostages were thrown over the wall like garbage.
After being beaten by an arrow from an ally and stabbed in the back by a wolf, Hans fell to the corner of the castle wall and coughed up blood.
“… … .”
Miller, who had completely lost his will to fight, knelt down slowly in front of Hans. Hans muttered with a chuckle.
“Asshole, bastard… … .”
Miller murmured haggardly.
“sorry.”
Fuhak!
The werewolf’s claws snapped at Miller’s neck. The light in Hans’s eyes, who had been staring blankly at them, gradually faded.
The top of the ramparts was completely occupied, and within minutes.
Rumbling- Kururrr!
The gates were opened by the hands of the wolves who had entered the walls.
The fall of the West Gate was so futile and simple.
Aww!
Aww-!
The werewolves who let out howls began to run into the city.
Leaving only a dozen of them surrounding Junior.
“Ha, ha, ha… … !”
Junior rolled his eyes as he looked around at the werewolves surrounding him.
she is a wizard
He has tremendous firepower and the ability to improvise, but in the end he is a typical wizard of the classic type.
Vulnerable to close combat, poor defense, and infinitely weak if there is no casted magic.
A glass cannon that can be easily broken if there is no party member to take charge of it.
About 10 Werewolves, who are specialized in close combat, clung to her, and even one of them was the elite White Werewolf.
Junior was confident of making more than half of them his companions, but he realized that his own life could not be saved.
Junior clenched his teeth. In a place like this… … !
at that time,
Tuhak! Tuhak! Tuhak-!
Bullets of wind flew in and pierced the necks of the werewolves.
When the surprised Werewolves looked that way, a more fierce gust of wind flew in and struck them.
“I thought the city was in a commotion, so I came out and looked… … .”
It was Reina who lightly flew up the castle wall using wind magic.
“The wolves are running wild.”
Wearing an imperial army coat over a hospital gown, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Reina put her index finger forward and fired a bullet of wind at random.
Tuhak-!
A strong wind blew. At the same time, according to the timing, Junior also spewed spray in all directions.
Creeper!
When another powerful mage appeared and the two mages began to link up, the white werewolf led his men and immediately turned around and began to pull them out.
Junior and Raina shot wind and lightning at the monster’s back in succession, but while the other werewolves were dying, the white werewolf managed to break through the fire net and escape.
“haha… … !”
Next to Junior, who was breathing heavily, Reina limped closer with a cane.
“Are you okay, Jupiter daughter?”
“I am… … .”
Junior looked down at the open castle gate and closed his eyes.
“I made a mistake.”
“… … .”
“If only I had used magic! If the monsters didn’t care if they took hostages or not, and just burned them all together… … ! Then the death of the other soldiers would have been prevented, and the castle gate would not have been opened… … .”
“okay. In that case, you would have been a great wizard.”
Reina said calmly in a dry tone that was neither cold nor soft.
“But the moment you calmly do that, you won’t be a normal human being either.”
Standing next to Junior, who blamed himself, Reina chinned the inside of the castle gate.
“Raise your head, kid. It’s just that the gates are open. The world is not over yet.”
“… … .”
“What happened happened, and we have to deal with it quickly.”
Reina licked her lips and smiled.
“Isn’t it the wizard who can put the spilled water back into the jar?”
“… … .”
Junior, who came to his senses at those words, quickly dried his face and opened his eyes wide.
The two wizards jumped down the wall at the same time.
In order to catch and kill all the wolf monsters like c*ckroaches that have dug into the city.
***
Although there are several prisons on the outskirts of Crossroads. Among them, the prison where death row inmate Camus was imprisoned was in the west.
“… … hmm?”
Camus, who had been sleeping in a bed in the corner of the cold Jade Room, opened his eyes dimly.
“Monsters have entered the city!”
“We have to go stop it, we too!”
It had been noisy outside since earlier, and I could see the prison guards talking urgently.
“However, our main duty is to keep an eye on the prisoners… … .”
“What the f*ck! What’s wrong with these bastards now? If the monsters penetrate deep into the city, the damage to the citizens will increase like a snowball!”
“Get your weapons! Join the defense forces!”
I saw the guards rushing out of the prison.
Camus looked at it blankly, then burrowed into the blanket again.
A body that will soon be executed anyway.
It didn’t matter what the outside world was like now. I just want this boring time to pass quickly and die… … .
It was then.
Courage! Chaeng-Grang-!
Krrrrr!
“Aww! Aaaaagh!”
“sorry! We got it wrong! Please help me!”
It wasn’t long after the guards left that they bounced back into the prison.
There was a terrible sound of metal bending, bones breaking, and a wolf monster growling.
‘… … what.’
When Camus, who had run away from sleep, pulled back the blanket and got up.
Outside the grate, I saw a wolf monster biting and chewing on two guards.
The moment Camus was trying to understand what the situation was, a werewolf grabbed the iron bars of the prison chamber where Camus was imprisoned with both arms, forced it open, and came inside.
Krrr! Krrrrr!
The beast’s red eyes glistened with murderous intent.
and the next moment. Camus was throwing himself at the body of a guard lying on the floor.
Camus’s hand touched the guard’s sword scabbard.
Sreung-!
Skillfully pulling out his sword, Camus easily avoided the werewolf’s claws that were being taken down from above, and then turned his body and drove the sword into the wolf’s neck.
Fu-wook!
It was an SR grade hero character’s skillful swordsmanship. He was powerful enough to take the life of a careless Werewolf at once.
Cre… … Kreur… … .
The werewolf, who had been coughing up blood, collapsed on the floor helplessly. Camus clicked his tongue briefly.
“My punishment is hanging. I won’t become your monster food.”
aww-
aww-
The cries of the monsters were heard from outside the prison. Camus frowned and stared out.
“… … What the hell is going on?”
But it was a good thing. After all, he’s a prisoner, and he can’t get out of prison.
Camus slumped back in his bed and tried to sleep.
However, he found that the body of the werewolf he had killed smashed the bed in the prison room and spilled hot blood.
“… … Whoa.”
Camus let out a long, weary sigh.
“It’s hard to die quietly… … .”
