thud!
Kurururur… … !
With a loud crash and the sound of stones collapsing, the walls of Punk Hit crumbled like sand.
All of the Mercury weapons installed there were destroyed, and the swept away users and NPCs fell to the ground one after another.
And through the crack in the collapsed wall.
Thud, thud.
Oldman and the four knights walked leisurely into the castle.
“Ugh, ugh… … ugh… … !”
As the four knights approached, the NPC soldiers all became thoughtful and began to tremble all over.
“what’s the matter?”
“What’s wrong with these guys?”
Users who were wondering soon discovered that their own hands were shaking.
“Huh? Huh?”
“What is this? The status abnormality is called ‘Fear’?”
“No, but, I wasn’t attacked at all… … .”
The user who had been speaking in a trembling voice eventually stopped talking.
Shaaaaa… … .
Because I realized the reason for that ‘fear’ too late.
Suddenly, there was no BGM playing in the area.
When the war began, the playback of the Warsong stopped.
In the midst of the eerie silence, faint music began to play.
Boom, boom, boom!
Theme OST of Hollow Knight, the opponent at the end of Season 1.
The BGM exclusive to the boss monster began to play eerily along with the sound of drums.
A chill ran down the back of the users’ necks.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Hollow Knight’s theme eventually evolved into a variety of variations.
It didn’t take long for users to realize that it was an ominous and evil exclusive OST that combined the themes of all four knights.
Crackle. Crackle.
A crack appeared at the bottom of the four knights’ helmets, and then split open.
Just like a mouth.
and.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaah-!
The four knights roared at the same time.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh?!”
All users and NPCs standing in the area were simultaneously afflicted with four or more status effects.
horror.
frustration.
disarray.
curse.
No one could resist the evil auras emanating from each of the knights of Death, Conquest, War, and Famine.
“Aaaah! We’re going to die! We’re all going to die!”
“Hehehe, hehehehe, before we get killed by those guys, let’s make each other comfortable… … .”
The NPCs started going crazy, tearing out their hair, stabbing each other, and harming themselves.
“Healers, spray cleanser! Quickly!”
“I think the advanced purification potion will work?!”
“That’s too expensive! All the users here can’t use it… …!”
Users tried their best to remove the abnormal status, but most of it was in vain.
The demons slowly approached them.
Every time heavy footsteps hit the ground, nearby users felt their breath catch in their throats.
Shaaaaa… … .
Now the four knights’ breathing could be heard right in front of them.
Users looked up at these boss-level monsters, not just in a state of shock, but in true fear.
“Come on, monster friends.”
Oldman smiled broadly and patted the Fourth Knight on the back, wondering what was so enjoyable about it.
“Don’t worry, eat as much as you want~!”
It was as if he had been waiting for those words.
Kyaaaaaaaah!
The four knights who had been kicking the ground rushed into Punk Heat.
Spewing out a dark aura from its entire body like wings.
NPCs and users were barely able to hold back their screams until later.
“Eww!”
“Run away, run away!”
“I can’t beat that! I can’t beat that!”
Everyone turned around and started to run away from the four knights who were coming at them.
But the Four Knights were faster than anyone else.
Like predators catching their prey, the four knights ran in all directions, swinging their arms ferociously.

Users and NPCs were torn to pieces as the dark aura burst out.
“Eww! Shoot! Shoot everything you have!”
“Let go of it! Let go of it! Kkaaaah!”
Punk Heat focused on long-range firepower and expanded their defensive facilities. That strategy certainly proved effective against legions of regular monsters.
However, it was actually a bad move for a 4-knight level monster that had its physical defense cut extremely high due to boss monster compensation.
It could do almost no damage.
In the end, they gave up a part of the wall in vain, and that small gap was enough.
The invaders began the slaughter.
There was virtually no way to stop it.
“Hey, hey, leave some food for Jim too!”
Oldman licked his lips at the sight of the castle being swept away in an instant.
The 4th knight was too fast and strong.
Moreover, the more you gather, the more special perks you unlock in proportion to the number, and the effects are also excellent.
4th Knight Special Perk:
– Two of the four knights act together: a great momentum.
> Bonus damage to targets attacking simultaneously.
– Three of the four knights act together: Unyielding.
> Probability of down resistance. If downed, another knight can revive.
– Four of the four knights act together: Bulhan Lee Yul (不寒而慄).
> At the same time, inflicts one or more of the following status effects on the target: Fear/Frustration/Confusion/Curse.
At this point, when four of them are gathered together, they become weapons that are used to grind down opponents in close combat.
“There’s no room to squeeze in over there… Let’s see, are there any left?”
Oldman, who had been looking around, eventually found the remaining enemy.
The old king jumped up and climbed onto the wall that had not yet collapsed.
“Ah… … Euaaa… … .”
Users who were desperately firing shells at the hordes of monsters rushing out of the castle were frozen by Oldman’s appearance.
“You hid some food here?”
A cruel smile spread across the old man’s face.
Oldman chuckled, swinging his massive hammer lightly with one hand.
“Okay! Great! It’s a party~!”
Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies!
A huge explosion occurred on the castle walls.
The cannons struck by Oldman’s hammer exploded all at once, spewing gunpowder and flames.
Oldman began to remove the water-based weapons from the walls one by one, through the red flames and smoke.
It tramples and crushes the users and NPCs who control it.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
In the distance, an army of monsters began to advance through the loosened net.
The fate of Punk Hit was now hanging by a thread.
* * *
Eagle eagle.
The natural city of Evergreen was on fire.
The city made of giant trees burned endlessly.
As the tree grew larger, the flames would also grow larger and spread longer.
The central part of the timber city engulfed in flames.
Oak Palace.
There was a long line of corpses of NPCs who had died while resisting and shooting arrows everywhere.
Cain and Aggleking chatted while walking calmly between them.
“I think they did something like this in a movie that came out 30 years ago… … .”
Aggle King muttered as he looked around the burning city.
It reminded me of a scene from a famous science fiction movie.
“They say there was a similar event in a certain game 20 years ago.”
Cain nodded.
There was even an incident in an expansion pack for a popular MMORPG where a city made of wood burned down.
“Why is the World Tree always on fire in all kinds of subcultural works?”
Cain suddenly tilted his head, feeling curious. Aggle King quickly defined the answer.
“Why? Because the picture when it was burned was so awesome!”
“… … .”
Cain was about to say something in rebuttal, but he just kept his mouth shut. In a way, it was the right answer.
When a tree this huge is reduced to a pile of ashes, people may feel a dizzying visual pleasure as they watch.
If this tree isn’t their home, it might be.
“You sons of bitches who deserve to be hated by all men! You scum of the earth! You demons who should be torn to pieces!”
Clarissa, the last elf queen and lord of Evergreen, let out a desperate scream.
Around her, shedding tears of blood, the guards who had protected her until the end were all lying miserably, pierced by arrows.
Users who had been operating from Evergreen as their base set up a final defense line in front of the palace, and Cain slaughtered them all.
The NPC army preparing for defense inside the palace was sniped from afar by the Aggle King.
The queen had to watch them all die with tears in her eyes.
“I curse you! I curse you, you demon lords! Nature’s wrath will fall upon you! The Goddess will curse you!”
The Queen shouted in a boiling voice, but the two villains paid no attention and continued talking to each other.
“Hey, boy Cain. How about doing it like this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“We split the boss kill and castle capture. Isn’t that okay?”
“Hmm… … That makes sense. Then who will kill the boss?”
“You do it. I want to play the role of the lord! That would be good for getting some airtime too~.”
“Deal.”
“Good boy, good boy~!”
The deal is done.
Cain drew his sword and walked towards Queen Clarissa, while the Aggle King craned his neck to find the city’s core.
“I will curse you… …!”
The queen was speechless.
Cain’s longsword cut through the air like a ray of light, and Clarissa fell to the ground with her HP reduced to 0.
Cain opened his eyes wide and sighed softly next to the corpse of the fallen queen.
“On the topic of NPCs who come back to life even after dying… … Don’t act like a person.”
The city is burning now, but if it is repaired later, it will soon be like new.
“… … .”
Still, it felt strange.
The game was becoming less and less like a game.
Next to Cain, who had a complicated expression on his face, Aggle King, who didn’t care about that at all, was giggling and placing his hand on the core of the castle.
The siege side begins to capture the core – 4 minutes 59 seconds remaining.
* * *
The magical city, Eternity Garden.
Battles continued throughout the flying city that had crashed to the ground.
As the home of magicians and the headquarters of alchemy, Eternity Garden had a large number of users and each user had high fighting power.
The problem, if there was one, was that the professional population was heavily skewed towards the wizard class.
Wizards are a class that demonstrates their greatest power when the close-range classes provide solid support in the vanguard.
A long-range damage dealer wearing a thousand clothes.
It’s basically a glass cannon.
Koooooooo!
Kerrrrrr!
“Ugh!”
“Ahhhh… … !”
The orcish infantry charged forward, enduring the magical attacks, followed by the goblin soldiers.
It wasn’t the first time that they were wiped out with magic, but eventually the monsters gradually got closer, breaking through the magic bombardment.
And those few breakthroughs were fatal.
Users who were barely holding on in various parts of the city soon began to be slaughtered.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kuoooooo-!
All over the city, the four surviving goblin gods swung their arms and crushed the city into pieces.
The surviving NPC magic troops were desperately resisting, but they were greatly outnumbered.
Kookung! Kookugugooku… … !
The clock tower, hit by Kali-Aharg’s swinging arm, collapsed from the center and fell to the side.
Users below screamed and were crushed by debris.
The city’s beautiful structures were turning to dust under the feet of the goblin gods.
The doctor looked at this surreal sight with a look of amazement on his face.
“Haa~ Good, good. A civilization being toyed with by evil spirits… … This is truly a wonderful sight!”
“… … .”
Rabbit, who was sweating profusely next to him, spoke quietly.
“Should we stop here? The castle will be ours now… … .”
Next to Rabbit, who was speaking like that, stood the NPC lord of Eternity Garden, King Orpentier, with a blank expression.
King Orpentier was under Rabbit’s mind control spell.
I resisted steadfastly until the end, so I threw it once even though the odds were low, and luckily I fell into mind control right away.
The king burned all his subjects with his own magic, and the palace was put in order.
The duration was short due to the king’s outstanding magical defense, but it was enough time to make him surrender.
“Wait, wait! Just a few more screenshots! It’s not easy to watch an apocalyptic scene like this… … .”
The Doctor starts taking screenshots frantically as he watches the destruction of the goblin gods.
“This is also important ‘research’. Please wait just a little longer!”
“Ugh… … .”
I thought this guy was pretty normal, but it seems he wasn’t one of the four major villains for nothing.
Rabbit gave instructions to King Orpentier before time ran out.
“Please surrender.”
“yes…….”
King Orpentier’s hand slowly rose to the top of the surrender spear.
