* Episode 11
For a moment, the world seemed to stop.
Instinct reacted before the brain understood the situation.
The breathing of people and the screams of the monsters seemed to be heard from several kilometers away, and the senses were sharper than ever to accept all the information around them.
Shaaaaa.
Drops of blood, puffs, and dust slowly scattered in the air. A mist that can be grasped with an outstretched hand.
and… … .
‘Chi.’
It was felt. An enormous movement of energy enveloping a radius of several hundred meters. At the same time as the red alarm bell rang in my head, I kicked off the ground and soared.
“damage-!”
Aaaaaaang!
A flash of light followed by a huge roar echoed through the air. I looked over the battlefield from 10 meters up.
Just a few seconds ago, a radius of hundreds of meters centered on where I was standing was burnt with fire.
Through the fog that did not dissipate and the distant clouds that rose up, I could see green blood covering the ground and the shattered bodies of monsters.
‘Magic Trap.’
Dealing with an invisible enemy means that you must be prepared for everything that can happen.
‘Because there is no humanity in war.’
Numerous wars recorded in human history
is a witness, prosecutor, and judge.
Even human beings commit all sorts of horrific atrocities during war, and it is ridiculous to apply the standard of human kindness to non-human monsters.
Therefore, vigilance is an essential virtue in war. Reduces the chance of falling into the traps dug by the enemy and minimizes sacrifices.
like right now
tadak.
I lightly landed on the ground and stretched out my hand. Fain! Compressed air bursts out, dispersing clouds of dust.
Familiar faces finally appeared among the blood and corpses that filled the place.
“Chief Choi.”
Choi took a deep breath and nodded. Behind him, there were about two hundred members of the death squad with confused faces.
“There are a few wounded, but… … All is well.”
“thank god.”
“It was a trap of tremendous power. Without this, most of them, including me, would probably have died.”
Swoop, ooh.
Team leader Choi reached out and touched the transparent membrane in front of his eyes.
It was the barrier magic that the archmage, one of the three largest wizards out of billions of people, inscribed stitch by stitch on the scroll that enveloped the entire organization, including him.
“After the battle, the first thing to do is to find Mr. Johnson. He was saved thanks to his magic.”
“Are you going to give me a thank you kiss?”
“What can I do with my mind right now?”
Xiao Shen let out the breath he had been holding in and accepted Team Leader Choi’s words.
“I can do more than that. this is really… … . J
The boy was speechless and looked around.
The explosion just now was huge, and the aftermath killed more than a thousand monsters or fell into a state of incapacity to fight.
A trap that does not discriminate against enemies. Acrich threw countless men into firewood to catch me and the death squad.
‘Look at this bastard???…
It was expected to some extent, but Acrich’s cunning and boldness were more than expected.
If my signal had been even a little late, and if I hadn’t taken the bait by clearing the road ahead, the entire gang would have had to bury their bones here.
‘Just like that day.’
Memories you will never forget for the rest of your life. A tragedy like that should never happen again.
I turned around and said
“Keep your distance and follow me. right
Lee’s purpose is not to deal with monsters, but to break through them.”
The death squad responded with a loud shout. The monster army, which had lost a significant number of allies in an unexpected explosion and was confused, hesitated and retreated.
The moment when crisis turns into opportunity. Don’t miss the current flow.
“charge-!”
I was shot along with Changryonghu (蒼龍口?) loaded with gong power. The neck of the monster that was stepping backwards soared into the air.
In the aftermath of the explosion, Li Baek’s death squad pierced like an awl toward the monster corps that had left a vacuum. The main body of the rear followed him and crashed like a wave.
Aaaaaaa-!
A deafening roar shook the battlefield. Green bloody water spreading through the mist.
And there was a flock of crows hovering high in the sky, looking down at the battlefield.
* * *
On the throne made of white bones, the being that had been sitting as if asleep suddenly opened its eyes.
Intense eye light welled up from the pupils of the empty skull, and at the same time, a soft thunderclap flowed out.
– Pretty good.
The Arch Lich has hundreds of eyes and ears.
Even now, at this moment, the Familiars placed all over the battlefield were reading every situation without omission.
A fierce battle between humans and monsters. And a bunch of humans breaking through at high speed too.
‘forlorn hope. It must have been called that.’
Arch Richie suddenly remembered a memory. Old, moldy memories. It is a memory that I could not forget, no, I could not forget even though I spent almost eons of time submerged in the river of death.
‘An adversary.’
How can I forget the one person who was at the center of everything. The death squad of humans who had risked death and charged with the adversary.

‘It was the guy who stuck the sword into my body
Arch Lich looked at his body made of pitch-black bones.
In the past, he was not an insignificant existence like the undead. He was a noble and powerful being who was trusted by the king and had countless monsters under his command.
However, on the day of the final battle, he too fell down with the king. Even by mere human hands.
– however???… Where is the adversary?
Archrich let out a questioning voice.
I checked all the wires using the familiar, but I couldn’t see the figure of the opponent who should appear. I found a few humans left in my memory, but that was all.
‘if?’
In an instant, Arch Richie’s eyes burned fiercely as he remembered something.
I can’t quite believe it. If, if the antagonist is dead. What if you met your mortal fate?
– Ha, ha, ha, ha!
The body, which had been hardened like a stone statue, was shaken. The ground shook and the air trembled at the sound of her magical laughter.
Some kind of change occurred in the master’s mind.
The escorts who noticed the sound fell down and prostrated themselves.
– Lord.
– How come you do that?
The face of the escort was splendid. Every single one of them is second only to named monsters, Death Knight. And the sum of the number of Liches who pressed down deeply on their robes reached twenty.
Creations made to deal with the enemy. But now my thoughts have changed.
Arch Richie, who burst out laughing with joy, finally opened his mouth.
– Listen. my faithful servants
– Please order.
The Arch Lich stood up and looked down at his loyal servants. Soon, a ghastly voice echoed through the space.
– Go to the battlefield. Trample and sweep away those insignificant humans.
Twenty Death Knights and Liches bowed their heads without the slightest doubt.
The Arch Lich is the lord of all undead in this place. He had no hesitation in following his orders.
– Obey the Lord’s command.
After answering with one voice, they headed in their respective directions.
empty space again. Archlich, who had been laughing alone, concentrated on sitting on the Skeleton Throne.
While examining the battlefield with the eyes and ears of countless familiars, he suddenly stopped.
– By the way…… What the hell is that human?
In the black eyes of the crow flying through the sky, a young human figure was seen slashing down monsters in a spray of blood.
A face that does not exist in past memories. But it’s a face I’ve already seen through Familiar a few days ago.
– The person who defeated the Death Knight Lord.
The Death Knight Lord, made of Leifei, was the greatest masterpiece of all that Arch Reach had created.
Although he couldn’t completely subjugate him because he had a strong soul, there was no doubt about his strength as he had given some of his powers directly.
But with the best power
I was just blown away by luck. because of that poor man
– It’s annoying. I’ll definitely take care of it this time.
Deciding to eliminate the Arch Reach, he let go of his thoughts.
Half of the escorts going to each front turned at the command of the monarch.
* * *
Quadd Deuk!
Wind, weapons, and the body of a monster that is extremely hard.
Everything caught in the path of the spear blade is cut.
My neck soared and my thick limbs flew through the air.
The troll, who was still breathing, had no time to regenerate, and his body was torn to pieces, and the half-decomposed ogre, who had become undead, stumbled and his upper body was blown off by the sword that followed.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Team leader Choi, who swung the [Soul of a Hero] and cut down three or four in an instant, spoke to me like a shout.
“Jin Tae-kyung! The monster offensive is too strong!”
What he said was true. After breaking through the front line, the number of monsters decreased, but in contrast, the quality of his troops increased even more.
I knew it would be like this
Most of the monsters in front, which were used as firewood for magic traps to catch us, were only of the lower class.
The Arch Lich placed the elite in the rear and used other monsters as bait and meat shields at the same time.
‘To take away our power.’
In addition to that, the fog that was thicker than before was also making the battle difficult.
It was also a problem that the monsters became stronger due to the fog, but sight and sound were not transmitted well in the current fog.
It was inevitably a favorable condition for monsters with better senses than humans.
of course… … .
‘I am an exception.’
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Six or seven spears scattered vigorously
Pierced the monster like a skewer.
Xiao Shen and the hunter of the death squad, who passed the crisis, express their gratitude to me with a wink.
“Everyone unite towards me!”
「But there are only a few magic scrolls left. If the magic trap activates again… … . j
“I don’t have time to explain! Don’t talk too long!”
Team leader Choi and Xiao Shen nodded at my cry and advanced with the death squad.
It’s not that I don’t know what they’re thinking, but we’ve gone through three magic traps so far, and this is the back where Arch Lich gathered the elite. The chances of the trap triggering are slim.
“Focus on defense instead of attack. Advance!”
The battle itself became difficult, but the chance of getting caught in a trap suddenly decreased, so my heart felt lighter.
Losing myself is not difficult, but the lives of other members of the death squad are in danger.
‘The final destination is just around the corner. While reducing casualties as much as possible, join Lee Jeong-ryong and Wu Heixing.’
Awesome! Quadruped!
It was the moment when he was breaking through the road at the vanguard, feeling the fatigue that was suddenly accumulating.
– All. Step back. Me. La!
– A human? At the command of the monarch, I will take my life.
Like the miracle of Moses, the monster’s tent splits left and right. And facing the beings that appeared, I opened my mouth in a daze.
[Lv.120 Lich Drenched in Darkness]
[Lv.115 Dark Death Knight]
A whopping 10 guys over level 120. I was short of breath and my hands and feet were shaking.
Team leader Choi shouted to me in a despairing voice.
“We must retreat now!”
“Choi, Chief Choi.”
“Calm down, Mr. Jin Tae-gyeong!”
“The lunch box is here.”
“If we continue like this, we will be destroyed… … yes?”
I looked at the ten monsters, no, the lunch box, with trembling eyes.
“The lunch box delivery is here.”
