Episode 305
I am a positive person in everything, but in a battle where life is at stake, I try to eliminate that tendency as much as possible.
Because there is nothing more foolish than making only hopeful observations when fighting.
Rather, it feels like you always have to assume the worst.
So here’s the question.
What’s the worst about this situation?
‘Can’t we hold out until Mir comes and we’re annihilated?’
Well, this is a pretty bad development, but it’s not the worst.
The really worst thing I think is that the descent of the Demon King has already entered an unstoppable trend.
So, regardless of whether we win or lose against this corps commander, the summoning of the demon lord is already a confirmed fact.
He is the demon king who appears in the body of the frost giant Ymir… … .
I got sick of just imagining that.
Think about it.
The sight of a being so gigantic that it reaches the sky, tramples the mountains, jumps over the ice lake, and devastates the northern part of the country.
How many casualties will there be?
We may not know, but the map of the North will change and it will be recorded as the worst disaster in the history of the empire.
‘But this is such a misfortune… … .’
Since I can’t afford to stop the devil’s descent right away anyway, it’s right to focus on what I can do now.
Maybe Mir can’t pull out Mjolnir.
Even if he succeeds just by chance, he may not have the strength left to break the staff because he is so exhausted.
In the first place, it would not be easy to get through the harsh winter and reach the temple.
‘then… … .’
What I have to do is also clear at a glance.
Doing a little more damage to that wand.
“Let’s write this.”
As I spoke while holding Feed’s trident, Jack asked.
“I heard it’s an object that identifies its owner?”
“That’s true, but right now I think it would be better to have at least one means.”
Anyway, I can’t handle the trident gracefully with my skill level.
However, the reason I wanted to take care of this was because of Araksad, who was fighting on the front lines.
The senior Lizardman was able to stand up to the corps commander to some extent despite the overwhelming difference in combat power, and in my opinion, the reason was purely due to the number of weapons he had.
Araxad’s method may be difficult in many ways when it comes to seeing the limit of nothing, but it is much more advantageous in simple survival or wheeled combat.
When I think about it, even during my Yeongdo days, what we especially focused on learning was education about hunting and survival rather than martial arts.
In that sense, isn’t Araksad a more heroic hero than anyone else here?
I roughly draped the trident on my back. It was loose because it was sandwiched between clothes, but it was enough.
Then, as I joined the battlefield, the first thing I saw was a giant warrior struggling while being held by tentacles.
Can’t it be torn apart even with the strength of a giant?
If so, it would be difficult to cut it with any force. I pulled out the Onmyodo sword and quickly lowered it.
That’s it… … !
It’s tough enough to make you cry.
My forearm feels stiff, as if about a hundred layers of cowhide were cut off at once.
It can’t even be compared to the leg of the octopus-shaped demon that I cut down earlier.
For some reason, it felt like a long time ago when I was competing in Heros for promotion.
“Thank you.”
I didn’t have the energy to respond to the giant who greeted me briefly, so I just nodded.
I ran forward, chopping up the tentacle skin with the Yin-Yang Blade.
I just felt it as I was cutting, and it seemed as if each of these tentacles had their own will.
So, what if we inflict persistent pain rather than cutting it off altogether?
Kaaaaaaagh-!
With a tearing scream, many of the warriors who had been bound by the tentacles were freed.
And so, I quickly arrived right in front of the corps commander.
The corps commander, who was surrounded by several warriors, immediately turned his head when he realized my approach.
“okay. “Nice to meet you too, motherf*cker.”
When I fight monsters like this, I tend to naturally swear, and each time, these guys react harshly, as if they understood the curse.
The corps commander was no exception.
The fireball on his face swelled up into a ghost-like shape, and he thrust his staff at me.
The staff is the body of this corps commander… … . To be more precise, the head of the beast at the end of the staff is the commander of the army.
So where is the most vulnerable part of that head?
The skull is the hardest bone in the human body.
This is a fact confirmed just now by swinging the sword and clashing with each other.
If I swing my fist with all my might I might be able to break it, but my opponent won’t just sit back and watch me do that.
If it were the head of a living animal, it would stab the eyeball or under the chin, but if it was just a bony creature, it would just pass through.
‘… ‘No.’
There was something.
I looked into the eye sockets of the skull visible from the front.
A pair of burning natural flowers were seen in the jet-black eye sockets.
It’s a do-or-die situation anyway.
I thrust my outstretched sword straight ahead.

‘Negative number method.’
Sometimes the body calculates faster than the head, and this was the case now.
Immediately after placing a palm full of energy on the skull, the condensed energy was injected into the skull.
[…] … !]
Then the corps commander was startled and jumped back.
It was as if it had been scalded by fire, and it was the most violent reaction I have ever seen.
I grinned.
“Was that your weakness?”
I chased after the retreating corps commander while speaking sarcastically, but at that moment, the tentacles surrounding me began to attack me one by one.
We already know the strength of the tentacles.
… Should we give up on tracking and increase the distance?
‘no.’
I decided to keep track of it, even if it meant overdoing it.
For some reason, I was convinced that the corps commander would not allow easy access from now on.
As I saw the bunch of tentacles approaching, I sharpened the Yin Yang sword and pulled out the trident of the feed.
I don’t know if the trident is effective against tentacles.
This is because it was not brought out to confront it head on anyway.
I ran towards the tentacle.
The group of tentacles charging in, filling my field of vision, looked like a swarm of plague rats, perhaps because of their colorful skin.
Anyway, it means that it looks like you don’t want to touch it.
At a certain point, I planted my trident in the ground and then placed myself on this long pole.
That’s it… … !
The spear screamed and bent like a bowstring.
An ordinary spear would have been bent enough to not be surprised if it broke, but this mysterious relic eventually withstood this degree of bending.
It was proof that the material was extraordinary in the first place.
Relieved, I bent my body to my limit and then surrendered myself to the elasticity of the trident.
In an instant, my vision suddenly reversed, and the group of tentacles in front of my eyes disappeared.
It was a leap of almost tens of meters. I saw a group of tentacles brushing past me just below.
‘I avoided them all…’ … ?’
At that moment, my vision turned black.
Was there still one left?
It’s mid-air so it’s impossible to avoid. Crowtaker’s powers? However, is your skill level high enough to allow such a sudden evasion?
Kwaaaang-!
At that moment, the sound of something colliding next to the tentacle was heard, and the vision cleared.
Surprised, I looked at the tentacle and saw a mace stuck in the side of this thing, and beyond it, I saw Araksad panting as he threw something.
‘That’s great, senior.’
I grinned, did a somersault, and then sprinted away, stomping on the tentacles.
How many tools does this corps commander have left? The tentacle that is currently trampling on will not be the last.
Jalang-.
A bell sounded as if it had been waiting.
I felt dizzy for a moment and staggered, but was quickly able to regain my balance.
[…] … ?!]
However, the corps commander seemed taken aback when he saw that I was somehow fine.
Mind control or confusion… Did you write something like that?
I said, giggling.
“Not even the devil bastards could invade my mind, but what about the corps commander?”
Actually, it wasn’t a very relaxed situation, but bluffing is something that is done in situations like this.
While I was pushing back, I even resorted to provocation.
“But this mental brainwashing is especially bad? “The golden horn was a bit weak among demon lords.”
[…] … !]
Then the corps commander, who seemed angry, let out a scream. I didn’t have time to think about it, so I just spit out whatever I could, and surprisingly it worked well.
Coo!
The corps commander lowered his staff again.
The moment I thought that was the only preliminary action he could make, musical instruments exploded around me.
“Ah, it’s a musical instrument!”
“Get back now!”
The heroes around me were scared and backed away, but I just held my breath and kept going.
You can feel the density of the instrument in contact with your skin.
It’s definitely dark.
Even I, who had developed quite a bit of resistance to musical instruments by becoming a priest who would endure the plague, felt a tingling sensation in my skin.
In other words, it’s not enough to stop my advance.
After closing the distance, I immediately focused my attention on this guy’s skull.
Pretzel Gwang-!
My fists were sore. It stings a bit as if my skin is chapped, but I don’t mind.
A hole is thoroughly drilled into the inside of the skull.
‘Instead of exploding right away, as if accumulating.’
Tens as a rule of thumb.
If you accumulate about ten damage to that skull, even that incredibly strong staff will be at least cracked.
First a single strike, followed by a triple strike, so there are six more to go.
That’s the moment.
Sigh!
The corps commander took off the strange necklace he was wearing around his neck and threw it towards me.
The necklace was made of stones with an odd luster. Soon, the thrown stones creaked in the air and many whitish shapes appeared.
[AA AA AA… … !]
[Kill me, kill me, kill me!]
[where are you? it’s you? It’s because of you-!]
Simultaneous voices hit my ears.
Is it necromancy?
Dealing with the soul, not the corpse… … . It’s a bit embarrassing.
Physical power is basically impervious to these things, and there is no equipment that can be effective against the soul.
These spirits clung to my whole body like cicadas. Then he stuck to my ear and started pouring out curse words… … .
Other than the noise, it didn’t really matter, but strangely, my body felt sluggish.
It was as if my weight had increased ten times in an instant.
Pow!
The corps commander approached me as if he had been waiting and hit me with his cane.
I flew away coughing up blood like a person who had been hit by a club.
‘… I plugged in two more.’
He clenched his numb fist and burst into laughter.
Four cars ahead.
If it’s difficult for you to move, just attack when that guy attacks.
Since heroes are forming a siege on all sides anyway, even as a corps commander, he will have no choice but to attack me right now.
[…] … .]
But did this guy also feel something strange?
It didn’t approach me anymore, just stared at me and started shooting its tentacles.
‘Plague.’
With my body as heavy as a rebar, I struck down each of the tentacles pouring out with my fists.
Because I don’t think I can avoid those tentacles with this body.
The same goes for flying.
With a body so heavy, it has no choice but to flit around clumsily like a wet fly.
‘then… … .’
After all, you have to risk your life.
I took out the feed’s trident again. And then he ran towards the incoming tentacles with his spear raised.
Pajik.
The moment the thunderbolt appeared, an electric current flowed through the entire body, and the trident was also imbued with brain energy.
With my trident wrapped in thunder, I pierced the approaching tentacle and ran like a runaway bull.
Woooooo… … !
The tentacles, which had been stretched out in a straight line, were crushed as if pressed by the palm of a hand. He thought it was annoying for a moment because his vision was blocked, but it didn’t matter because he could feel the corps commander’s spirit even with his eyes closed.
The location is also the same.
In any case, it is clear that there is a corps commander at the end of this tentacle.
When I got close to it, I slightly jumped into the air. I couldn’t jump that high because of the vengeful spirit that was attached to me… … .
‘This is enough.’
I aimed at the crushed tentacle and focused my energy on my upper arm. At that moment, my forearm muscles swelled as if they were about to explode.
Kwaaaang!
Immediately afterwards, a trident filled with magical energy penetrated the tentacle and stuck to the floor. I stood in front of the corps commander again, thinking I was like an octopus pierced by a harpoon.
“Long time no see.”
As if he wasn’t particularly pleased with me, the corps commander screamed and stabbed me with his staff.
I didn’t avoid it this time.
Suddenly, I felt a taffy-like sensation of something cool digging into my raw flesh, somewhere between my abdomen and solar plexus.
The horns on my skull pierced my body.
“Golden Fairy!”
I felt Jack, who was far away, screaming. Araksad, who was nearby, was also seen running like crazy.
It wasn’t that dangerous, but I didn’t have time to smile at them or tell them I was okay.
Having finally achieved my goal of sticking to the cane, I kept slamming my elbows down even though my body was pierced.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four attacks in an instant.
I completed all ten reps with this, but I clicked my tongue inside. The elbow is not a suitable organ for releasing true energy.
It was even more difficult to carry out detailed work such as the heavy water method and penetrometer.
‘I need a final blow.’
If the attack so far has been preliminary work, preparation for causing a huge explosion, a decisive blow is needed to serve as a trigger.
I saw a skull.
‘… skull?’
At that moment, I realized that I also had a skull…
Before I could even think deeply, I headbutted this guy.
Whoa!
For a moment, Saeya turned black and her consciousness became blurred. I also felt as if the instrument wrapped around the cane was trying to penetrate my head.
After I committed it, I realized that it was something so crazy that only I could do it.
Even if a hero had an aptitude for fighting magic, if he had come in direct contact with the staff, which is the source of this instrument, his entire body would have mutated or he would have died long ago.
How dare you headbutt with your head, which is the most important thing in the human body? Even if you don’t die, you could go crazy if the instrument penetrates your brain.
‘still… … .’
I giggled and glared at the skull.
Kwasik… … !
Black cracks finally spread across the pure white skull.
Immediately after, I flew away, and the moment I hit the wall, my whitening state ended.
Along with the exhaustion of my entire body, I felt that the Danjeon, which had been filled with magma, was empty again.
Ooooooooooooooooo!
Leaning against the wall, I watched the instruments swirling around the body of the enraged corps commander.
The vengeful spirits that were clinging to me returned to their owners and swirled around me like fallen leaves.
‘Are you going to do something?’
I’m sick of the fact that I still have the means left.
It seems like they’re trying to wipe out the entire area using a big technique.
Distant presence and musical instruments. The moment when the surrounding heroes lost their will to fight as they responded to the tentacles shaking like crazy.
A sound like thunder was heard from somewhere, and Mir appeared from beyond the broken wall.
[…] … !]
The corps commander, who was gathering all his strength, reflexively held out his staff.
That was decisive.
A bolt of lightning spewed out from Mir’s eyes as he held a huge hammer. At once, an animal-like roar burst from its mouth.
Kwazijijijik-!
Finally, the swung hammer shattered the skull and the body of the commander.
