Episode 264
The seven legends were split into three teams.
Park Hyun-ah and the legend of independents are on the same team.
The legends of the Dracaen Empire and the Kingdom of Domis team up.
Finally, Choi Hyun-seok and Kinley Fusell came together to form a team.
There was a reason why they didn’t move all at once and instead split into teams.
It was to stop the hordes of fanatics flowing into the border regions of the Dracaen Empire.
“The enemy is spread all over the continent. In order for the refugees to withdraw safely, we must first deal with the fanatic groups scattered in the border areas as enemies.”
To ensure a safe and quick retreat, it was necessary to deal with the remaining debris.
But even this is not that difficult.
To put it bluntly, even if it were a small group of fanatics, the number of people would have basically exceeded ten thousand.
Huge legions numbering over a hundred thousand were often seen.
It was clear that if a group of fanatics with forces far superior to those of a regular army were to confront the refugees, disaster would ensue.
“We have arrived.”
Southwestern part of the Holy Empire of Gatren.
Border area with the Dracaen Empire.
Choi Hyun-seok arrived at the operation area with 500 magic troops from the Dracaen Empire.
“The enemy will pass by this area in about 30 minutes. I’ll prepare first.”
The magic troop leader reported and immediately began to move.
There is only one chance.
Since 500 people had to work together to successfully perform large-scale magic, they had to prepare thoroughly.
Choi Hyun-seok sat on a rock and watched the magic troops moving around.
Since I had nothing else to do until the enemy arrived, I thought I’d just watch.
“By the way, a small group of 50,000 people? How big is the whole group?”
The number of enemies we will have to face this time is estimated to be around 50,000.
This is a number that would require mobilizing all of the soldiers of a small kingdom.
There were dozens of such groups scattered throughout this area.
The current large group coming down from northern Gatren is said to number over 30 million, so it is hard to imagine how large the entire group is.
“The Empire’s subjects alone number fifty million. If we add the numbers from each kingdom, the total number would be more than double that.”
Kinley Fusell said with a bitter expression.
“Twice fifty million is one hundred million. I can’t even guess how large that number is…”
In reality, even if only ten thousand people gather, the number is overwhelming.
When there are about a hundred thousand people, the scale is beyond imagination and it is so crowded that it feels disgusting to humans.
But one hundred million is 1,000 times that number.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine how large and massive it would be.
“Are you planning to kill all the people under mind control?”
Suddenly, Kinley Fusell asked.
Choi Hyun-seok scratched his head and sat deep in thought.
“Well, I doubt it would be possible in the first place…”
The enemy is not a simple fanatic.
He is a fanatic with fighting power that surpasses that of an average soldier and a body that is no different from a zombie.
If there are a hundred million people like that, even Choi Hyun-seok can’t win.
“Well, even if it were possible, it wouldn’t make sense to kill all of those people. I heard that the Dracaen Empire was looking for a way to break the mind control.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“But, if it is impossible to break the mind control, if those people are to live as fanatics forever…”
Choi Hyun-seok swallowed and continued speaking.
“I have to get rid of it somehow.”
There will be mass slaughter on an unprecedented scale.
History may record him as one of the greatest murderers of all time.
Still, if it was something that had to be done, Choi Hyun-seok was prepared to do it without hesitation.
“That’s the only way to protect the people who are left. Otherwise, there’s no future.” “I see… That’s right…”
Kinley Fusell nodded, his face dark with gloom.
I understand Choi Hyun-seok’s words in my head.
It was something she had also prepared for.
But the fact that she had to kill countless people with her own hands, especially civilians who had been living ordinary lives until recently, weighed heavily on her heart.
“I’d stick my tongue out even in hell. I don’t know if there’s a place worse than hell, but if there is, it’ll be my final destination…” “Go ahead and take care of it. I’ll have fun and then go.”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a sly smile.
It was then that the report from the Magic Corps Commander was heard.
“The enemy is coming! Five minutes until encounter!” “Is it that late already?”
As we chatted about this and that, time passed by in an instant.
Choi Hyun-seok got up from his seat and wiped his butt.
“Then shall we go and buy a ticket to hell!”
***
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
50,000 people gallop across the plains.
Their speed was so fast that huge clouds of dust were created along their path.
“Let’s get started!”
He gathered his magical power towards the magic circle prepared by the Imperial Magic Corps.

The magic circle glows brightly and greedily devours magical power.
Woohoo…!
A magic circle that continuously emits light and noise.
At a point when the distance between us and the enemy was less than 1km.
The sky turned red as the magic circle flashed dazzlingly.
“Forgive us…”
The magic trooper commander muttered quietly.
Soon the red sky began to spew out hot flames.
Hwarrrrrrrr-!
The vast plain was instantly engulfed in flames.
Fanatics don’t die easily.
You need to destroy the head or heart, but that’s not easy with area-of-effect magic.
So the most effective way was to burn it completely with flames.
“Hehehehe! It’s hot! It’s hot!” “Kik! It’s a trial from God! God has sent down a trial!” “Don’t stop! You have to endure the trial! Keuhahaha!”
A sudden bolt of lightning.
Although it was understandable that they would be confused, the fanatics were not shaken at all.
Instead, he laughed even louder and ran across the plains at an even faster speed.
Even though my body is melting, it doesn’t stop.
If your legs disappear, you can move by crawling on your two arms.
If they were normal humans, they would have been reduced to ashes in an instant, but their tenacious regenerative powers kept them alive even in the flames of hell.
“A stronger ordeal!” “If we endure the ordeal, God will also acknowledge us!”
Suddenly a group of fanatics reached out and used divine magic.
It was a low-level magic that created water nearby, but its scale was extraordinary as tens of thousands of people used it.
Chaaaaah!
Streams of water shoot out in all directions and meet the flames.
The flames that had engulfed the fanatics quickly died down.
The body began to recover quickly as the recovery power surpassed the burning.
“This is such a monster…!”
The magic commander ground his teeth.
Enemy damage is less than expected.
I originally thought I could wipe out half of it, but when I opened the lid, I couldn’t even get rid of a quarter of it.
“Cast magic again…!” “Fine. I don’t think it will work, and I don’t have time to use magic leisurely.”
The fanatics are already right in front of us.
It’s dangerous to use magic here again.
“Please take good care of me!”
“I’ll go too!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Kinley Fusel ran out.
The crowd of fanatics’ eyes lit up as they saw the two approaching.
“Hehehe! You are an unbeliever! You must preach the teachings of God!” “Khahahaha! For peace!”
“For rest!”
Choi Hyun-seok drew up his mana and hurled it at the middle-aged man running at the front.
Nobilis
Type 4 – Authoritative Death
Establish a strong regime.
As I extend my fist, a purple storm swirls around me.
Kwakwakwakwang-!
In an instant, hundreds of fanatics were swept away and torn to pieces.
‘It’s harder and tougher than a normal human, but it’s still good enough.’
No matter how zombie-like his body was, it couldn’t withstand the fighting spirit Choi Hyun-seok used.
However, the damage to the enemy was too little compared to the mana used.
At this rate, even if you use up all your mana, you won’t be able to deal with even half of the enemies.
“Strong! This is also a test of God!” “Rest! Rest!!!”
A group of fanatics who rush forward without stopping even after seeing hundreds of people being torn apart.
There is no retreat for them.
‘I have no choice but to go to hand-to-hand combat.’
Choi Hyun-seok decided to fight with pure hand-to-hand combat to conserve mana as much as possible.
Crunch! Boom! Crunch!
Every time something touches my fist, it shatters and bursts.
The body that reached the legend was able to tear through steel with only the power of the flesh, so the frail human body could not withstand it.
“Hehehe! My arm is broken!” “My legs can’t move. No! They can move now! Hahahaha!”
The problem is that the enemy is not an ordinary human being either.
If you don’t cut off the airway, most injuries will heal in no time.
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to change his strategy to either crushing the head or destroying the heart.
Bang! Bang! Bam!
The head explodes with a loud noise, sending blood, brain fluid, and pieces of skull flying everywhere.
A thick fog formed around Choi Hyun-seok.
The sight of the fanatic with his eyes shining brightly in it became even more bizarre.
“The non-believers are too strong!” “Bite it off with your teeth!” “Khuhi! Magic! Magic! Use magic!”
The pressure from the fanatics is getting more and more intense.
Movements like a beast rushing forward with its claws and teeth exposed.
A divine magic that flies in regardless of the enemy.
If you take away one, two will take its place.
When I took out two, five attacked at the same time.
“Keuhihi! Tear his limbs apart!” “Crush him! Make him realize the wrath of God!”
Hundreds of fanatics swarmed Choi Hyun-seok.
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok’s figure was no longer visible due to people being crushed by people.
Kwaaang-!
As Mana exploded, the fanatics that had been covering Choi Hyun-seok were blown away in all directions.
Choi Hyun-seok immediately kicked off the ground and flew into the sky.
“f*ck… This is worse than fighting the undead.”
Skeletons are the kind of things that break if you just brush against them, so I didn’t feel any particular burden.
In comparison, the fanatics were far more numerous than the undead and each one was stronger than a skeleton, so physical fatigue increased in an instant.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Kinley Fusel was also seen gasping for breath in the sky, perhaps having escaped.
“Are you okay?”
“This much is no problem…” “Save your stamina. I haven’t even finished half of it yet.”
That’s when the magic came.
Wheein! Wheein!
Thousands of divine magics flew in from the ground.
A group of fanatics were firing magic towards the sky.
Each one was itchy, but that didn’t mean it was okay to get hit hundreds or thousands of times.
It was the same principle that if you get bitten by a mosquito a few times, it’s itchy and annoying, but if you get bitten thousands of times, it’s life-threatening.
“You can’t fall! You have to go back in…!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been shouting, stopped.
A crowd of fanatics gathered together and began to rise into the sky.
They quickly approached, creating a giant human tower by trampling on the shoulders and heads of others.
“Hehehe! Got it!”
The fanatic at the forefront.
An old man who looked to be over 60 years old reached out with a strange smile.
“Ah, shit…”
Guaaaah-!
The enormous mass of hundreds of humans crushed Choi Hyun-seok.
