00360 Trap (1) ——————————————— —————————=
The plains of Barbara, which once boasted vast land and cozy beauty, were now showing a very different aspect. The once tidy land is in complete desolation, and a huge fire rises between the ink-colored soot scattered here and there. And the smoke rising from the fire disappeared beyond the red-stained sky.
Beneath a plain covered in a blood-red twilight.
Soon, the sound of the users of the second echelon pulling the strings was heard all at once. Even though no signal from the echelon commander was given, the archers released their drawn strings almost simultaneously. Now that we have entered the third day of the war, users are showing a much more orderly appearance compared to the first day.
bang! Shoo shoo shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!
With a single burst of drinking, arrows measuring 1,000 water glasses densely cover the sky in front of you. Countless arrows flew into the air, drawing a thin curve, and the trajectory left by the afterimage of magical power soon disappeared beyond the castle wall.
Strictly speaking, if we focus on ‘destruction’, arrows can be seen as being significantly less powerful than magic. However, it had an advantage that made up for that weakness, and that was its ability to fire quickly.
The second shot, which follows quickly, once again keeps the enemies on the castle walls in check. And while the archers were doing their best to get their attention, the third echelon users were ready to deliver their secret blow.
“Amplification!”
A spell that now feels familiar resonates in the air, and at the same time, a card thrown into the air emits a brilliant light. Eventually, in the direction facing the front of Barbara Castle Gate, the card created a square, angled curtain of light green light.
This is just my personal opinion, but if I were to choose the two users who would cost the enemy the most in a battle that lasted for three days, I would choose My Brother, the Emperor, and Seonyul, a tarot card magician.
‘Lightning’ strikes empty spaces here and there based on precise magic control. And the ability to give special effects to hundreds of magic shots at once was so tricky and brutal that I would swear if I were an enemy.
“Acceleration!”
Special effects to add speed. Then, the trajectories of the hundreds of magic bullets that passed through the curtain changed at once, and their speed accelerated even more as they rushed towards the castle gate like a flood. Then, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of magical lumps collided with the thick castle gate. However, as if they had realized our intention to blow down the castle gate, a huge number of protective shields had already been placed there.
Kujijic! Kujijijik!
The distance from the city gate was only two hundred meters. However, because the collision was so gigantic, the blue sparks that spread out from the collision between the two bounced in all directions like water from a fountain, and soon turned into spray and scattered in the air.
One side is trying to break through somehow, and the other is trying to block it somehow. The competition between the great powers soon began to show that one side had the upper hand.
Sizzling! Boom!
The magic that broke through the protective shield immediately hit Barbara’s west gate, and the fierce iron sound that erupted from the gate rang everywhere.
After that, a moment passed. The smoke that rose from the clash slowly cleared. The shape of the gate that was subsequently revealed showed clear results, even though it was not breached in one go. The concave holes were engraved in all directions, giving it a crumpled appearance like a piece of paper. Although we were not able to break through just in the nick of time, we would definitely be able to break through if there was one more attack of a similar scale as before.
There seemed to be many people who had similar thoughts to mine, and small cheers flowed from the users looking at the gate.
It was then.
bang!
I reflexively looked up at the castle wall at the sudden explosion that felt like it was violently striking the air. No, actually, I could tell without even looking. It was the sound that exploded all at once a large-scale order that had already been exchanged tirelessly for three days.
‘however… . The sound seems louder than usual?’
But, it wasn’t just that.
Shoo shoo shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!
Seeing! Seeing! Seeing! Seeing!
The eastern side, which had consistently held the upper hand throughout the three-day battle, was well within range today to gain a clear advantage.
However, not only magic, but also a huge number of arrows and javelins erupted from the castle walls like rain. The eastern part was currently attacking from all four directions, and the enemy was also focusing on defense by dividing their forces into each wall accordingly. As some time had passed, it was now possible to roughly guess what scale the attack would come, but the scale now visible was far beyond expectations.
But I was able to understand the situation right away. This was a bit of a struggle. The meaning of the castle gate during a siege is very important. However, since that important means of defense was lost in a single magic attack, it must have been frantic to protect it in any way possible. It was clear that the attack on a scale beyond expectations had probably attracted additional personnel defending on other castle walls.
“───. ───. ───. “Protect!”
“───. ───. ───. Reflect Shield!”
The priests of the 4th echelon responded quickly. No, it wasn’t just priests. Other users seemed to have felt that this attack was unusual, and the wizards of the 3rd echelon, who had just finished their magic, also joined in deploying defensive magic. And in an instant, several layers of translucent membrane were created surrounding the entire eastern formation.
After a while. A storm of magic, arrows, and javelins, blown by very strong winds, fell on the eastern formation without delay.
Then.
Soon, they began beating mercilessly on the tightly encased protective shield.
Kukukukukukukukukukukuk! simplicity and honesty! Ujijik!
“Off!”
“Aaaah!”
Perhaps because they were in a hurry and fired magic at random, various types of magic were visible outside the shield. The exploded fireball spread widely and spread throughout the protective shield, and the sharp spear of ice was piercing the outer layer of the membrane. The storm struck the protective shield one after another, almost like a shower of rain, and screams of pain came from all over the place, as if feeling the strain.
The concentrated fire that the enemy adopted as a counterattack was certainly fierce. Of course, as the attention was focused on us, other units would have more space, but that was their situation. I don’t know how many people were mobilized, but the firepower concentrated this time was an unbearable burden for the users divided into four branches.
As time passed, the force that felt like a storm gradually changed into a breeze, but the protective shield that felt strong was also breaking in proportion.
As if the users also felt it, the melee classes standing at the forefront raised their shields one by one. And priests began casting small magic resistance spells on users’ shields instead of time-consuming shields. There are quite a few wizards who have learned vag!nal chanting, so they plan to buy at least a little time for additional protection.
At the same time, Lord Goryeo’s amplified voice rang out.
“Everyone retreat back!”
The order to retreat was barely given, as if they were planning to change their formation and minimize damage. Although it was a shame that the castle gate was almost destroyed, it seems they decided to take advantage of the next opportunity rather than suffer major damage here.
Eventually, the eastern users began to retreat step by step, maintaining their formation.
It was then.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo… .
With my senses heightened and more sensitive, I suddenly felt a huge flow of magical energy appear. It was a tremendous amount of magical power, incomparable to the flow that had occurred in the previous battles.
At that moment, the twilight light that had been coloring the plain suddenly began to darken. My neck became hot for no reason, and the feeling that the heat felt in my body became even more intense took over my whole body.
‘This… ?’
An alarm bell rings in my head, alerting me to danger. I reflexively brought my hand to my ear and squeezed the converted ‘Victoria’s Glory’ hard.
And then.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A sudden, huge roar accompanied by a fiery roar swept across the plain like a whirlwind. The sound was so loud that it made the air floating in the air and the ground on which it stood rumble.
As I frowned slightly at the sudden howl that struck my eardrums, the startled sounds of users around me soon flowed into my ears.
“Ugh, wow! Yo, it’s a dragon!”
‘A dragon?’
There is no way the dragon will come out yet at this point. Since I knew that fact well, I immediately denied it in my head, but my gaze was reflexively directed towards the sky. Then, far above the castle wall, two suns could be seen floating in the western sky.
No, it wasn’t the sun. A momentary optical illusion caused by extremely dazzling light. When I blinked a couple of times and looked up again, I could literally see a ‘dragon’.
To be precise, it was a single lump of flame in the shape of a dragon. A dragon’s head with two horns at the end of a long neck. It has a huge body and two flame-like wings extending from its back. And even the tail that draws an S shape that resembles a large snake. It was spouting out endless flames, and it clearly had the shape of a dragon.
Flap! Flap!
The dragon circled the sky slowly, very slowly. And the dragon, which circled the sky three or four times, soon spread its flaming wings wide to the left and right. He quickly guessed the direction and saw that he was moving west, not straight ahead.
Eventually, the dragon let out another trembling roar and began to move its wide spread wings. Every time it flapped its wings from top to bottom, the distance between the eastern formation and the dragon continued to shrink. What it means is clear.
The Dragon of Flame is now planning to attack the entire body and wipe out the entire West Gate unit.
‘no. Are you trying to split it down the middle? Or block the escape route?’

The wizards and priests were concentrating on maintaining defensive magic, so the speed of retreat was significantly slow. However, giving up defense and retreating was expected to cause significant damage. The spirit of going deep to gain a clear advantage today put the Seomun unit in a difficult situation.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I wanted to understand the situation a little more, but the Dragon of Flame did not give me any more time to think. On the contrary, it was flapping its wings even faster as if not giving it time to react. Eventually it came down gently, leveled with the plain, and then began to rush towards the flank of the eastern formation.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The sparks falling from all over the body were creating one huge fire. As we got there, the fire seemed to be constantly accelerating, and the flames I could see were growing in size in the blink of an eye. In the face of such explosive fire, I adjusted the sword I had been holding until it was broken earlier.
During the three days of attack and defense, I did not do much. Not only did they have their own role to play, but there were many times when they were just watching the situation from behind rather than being in a position to hold a shield. However, since I was included in the group that prepared for variables in the first place, it seems that now is the time to pay for the meal. When it comes to cutting magic, I was an expert.
“Mmm, Mercenary Lord!”
I felt Geomhu’s voice grab me, but I immediately got up off the ground and left the place.
Perhaps because I ran with all my might, I was able to move west quickly. It had already gotten closer. Soon, as I faced the huge fire coming from the front, I felt a terrifying force pressing down on my whole body.
‘This might be a little dangerous… .’
I had no choice but to immediately change my intention to respond only with magical power. I was momentarily shaken by the more explosive force than expected, but I immediately calmed down.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Against the incoming flames, it awakens the latent power in the heart. And Victoria’s glory was erected in a straight line, and she chose to go straight into the center of the dragon. Perhaps because they shortened the distance in opposite directions, the distance suddenly decreased. And as I went further, the heat I felt from earlier was gradually increasing in intensity.
Just like that, it was the moment when Victoria’s glory was about to touch the flames created by the dragon.
Good luck! Grumble!
– Don’t touch it.
At that moment, something was sleeping in my heart.
– On the low-level topic of Yongyeom (龍炎).
It began to emit explosive force, as if it was growling.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
The details of the three-day siege were intentionally omitted. This is because I thought it was boring to just exchange firepower between each other without any major incidents. So I decided to just write down the beginning and the end. Now is the time when we can feel the wizards’ magical power being depleted, and only then will we be able to see the main characters in action.
I don’t intend for this war to last that long (I originally planned it to be about 50 episodes). The situation was intentionally created that way, and from a certain point of view, once the situation is known, there will be a situation where we need to decide the outcome as quickly as possible.
Anyway, more details will be revealed gradually. 🙂
P.S. Messages will be responded to in batches over the weekend. Please understand this part!
