Episode 226 Paradise Lost (3)
Kukukukukuku!
A black haze rose along T-Bone’s body.
Magical power with form.
The sense of intimidation exuded by a top-level Death Knight was of a completely different level.
The insects hesitated and stepped back.
As expected, the ‘Judgment of Anubis’, which was completely activated without paying attention to the Egyptians, cannot help but be called a fraud.
I was able to feel how much stronger T-Bone had become just from the magical power transmitted through his skin.
“Please give orders, Master.”
“Destroy the white jade.”
“All right.”
As soon as the order was given, T-Bone’s new model disappeared.
“Pfft!”
Tangrasil, feeling a sense of crisis, gathered a lot of magical energy.
Green mist spewed out from the white jade at the top of the white tree.
It was a nerve substance that could paralyze the nervous system, allowing one to focus solely on killing the enemies in front of them.
“Kieee!”
“Keeeeek!”
Immediately, tree trunks and insects rushed towards me like a swarm of bees.
[T-Bone activates his unique ability ‘False Oath’!]
A unique ability that only a very small number of Death Knights can manifest, ‘False Oath’.
The sword and shield were all stained black.
What followed was a breakthrough that felt like a direct copy of the storm.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When T-Bone swung his sword, the Hercules beetle was split in half with one strike.
“Keeeeek!”
Black sand centipedes and other giant beetles.
“Keeeeek!”
Whatever it touched couldn’t withstand T-Bone’s black Auror Blade.
The corpses of insects cut into pieces rolled around on the floor.
A road created in an instant.
Tangrasil’s tree branches trembled.
“Oh, Ograkun…! What on earth are you doing, Ograkun? Come now. Come here right now and protect me!”
Tangrasil, feeling threatened for his life, let out a long, loud roar.
He requested help from the giants in the fortress.
OK.
Part of the barrier opened, revealing the connection between Paradise Lost and the outside world.
[The 12-star barrier is dismantled!]
Finally, a hole appeared in the once impenetrable wall.
‘It will be a race against time from now on.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
Until now, the battle with Tangrasil had been the main stage in Paradise Lost.
From now on, we have to take the giants’ attacks into account as well.
‘I asked for help, so it will take at least 10 minutes to get here.’
10 minutes. 10 minutes… … .
That’s enough.
“T-bone!”
Jinhyuk raised his voice.
Perhaps realizing what the call meant, T-Bone immediately activated a new skill.
[T-Bone summons the ‘Ghost Steed’!]
A horse appeared, its entire body covered in translucent armor.
“Heeeeee!”
T-Bone, riding the green ghost warhorse, accelerated his speed.
It was difficult to block in the first place, but as the ghost warhorse increased acceleration and impact, I couldn’t even think of standing in front of it.
It’s just around the corner now.
There were only a few steps left before the sword shattered the white jade.
But right then.
Creepy.
A cool sensation passed over Jinhyuk’s back.
There is something.
I felt someone staring at me from the side, not Tangrasil.
“……!”
My body reacted earlier than I thought.
A skewer made of poison flew in the direction of the gaze.
Quang!
However, the thorn did not pierce its target.
Instead, it was offset by something and crumbled.
No way is that guy.

“How on earth….”
“He has a very short temper.”
It’s definitely true.
At the edge of Paradise Lost stood Ograkun, the king of the giants.
＊＊＊
“master!”
A surprise occurred on the T-bone side as well.
Five giants came between Tangrasil and T-Bone.
“Don’t look away. Undead.”
“Your opponents are us!”
Black axes and clubs took down T-Bone’s sword.
Just like the ones seen in the imperial capital, these were weapons made to withstand aurors.
The number is twelve in total.
Considering the timing and location, it is no coincidence that they intervened here.
‘Did you set a trap?’
Jinhyuk quickly activated ‘Eyes of Gluttony’.
[Ograkun]
Race: Giant
Age: 133
Level: 80
Strength 114, Dexterity 48, Stamina 75, Horsepower 7
Unique Ability: Berserker
Skills: Lv15 ‘Monarch’s Command’, Lv14 ‘Weapon Lightening’, Lv14 ‘Weapon Master’, Lv14 ‘Perseverance’, Lv13 ‘Strategy’
Characteristics: Ograkun is relatively intelligent even among giants, and is a well-established lord with numerous battle experiences. Since you are a rational personality who knows how to perfectly weigh the pros and cons, if you understand that well, you may be able to surprisingly avoid a fight.
[Copy conditions: Giants worship strength and physical beauty. While taking off as much of your clothing as possible, use only ‘strength’ to press down on your opponent. (The area of the clothes and the increase in strength are inversely proportional.) If you do so, you will be able to copy one of Ograkun’s unique abilities and skills. You will be able to do so.]
Ograkun, king of the giants.
This giant, which was about 4 meters tall, had a very shabby physique for a race of giants who revered size.
In fact, the giant that Jinhyeok lured to enter this fortress was also 7m tall.
Nevertheless, Ograkun subdues countless giants and reigns over the throne… … .
This was because it possessed such overwhelming power.
Sigh… … .
Ograkun lightly lifted the great sword that was resting on his shoulder.
The sword, which was nearly as tall as he was, drew a smooth arc.
“You look like you don’t understand why I’m already here.”
“Not even a minute had passed since Thangrasil called for help.”
“Yes. If it were normal, the white jade would have broken and Tangrasil would have disappeared. The fight would have ended with your victory.”
but.
“Since the scout went missing, we already expected that the intruder would target Paradise Lost. Of course, we did not expect that the intruder was skilled enough to weaken the barrier.”
“This is it… I got a good shot. But will you be okay? If you lead the main force and come here. The remaining guys won’t be able to block the joint attack of the Empire and the Murim, right?”
The departure of core power could soon lead to the collapse of the entire organization.
You’d better go back before it’s too late.
Unless you want to lose the entire fortress.
but.
Ograkun’s face still showed no signs of agitation.
Rather, he casually scratched his cheek.
“The walls have already been abandoned. Perhaps, in a little while, some of the troops sent by the Empire, the Murim, and both sides will reach here.”
“Are you… out of your mind? You abandoned the walls on purpose?”
That’s ridiculous.
What kind of crazy commander would throw away his only advantage?
Jinhyuk frowned at the incomprehensible behavior.
“What else can’t be done? If we weaken the boundaries of the castle walls ourselves, the Empire and the Murim side will finally decide that it is possible to attack the castle. That’s exactly what I want.”
… … The two rival forces make it a fait accompli that they have achieved their goal.
As the thoughts continued to that point, something also passed through Jinhyeok’s mind.
“Are you saying we’re going to make each other fight to take over this place?”
The top priority is conquering the fortress.
And the second priority is which side has the fort.
Of course, there is no reason for either of them to give up their base, so it is an established fact that they will turn their swords on each other.
That was exactly what Ograkun was aiming for.
“Judging by the fact that the main force that came here is smaller than expected, it looks like they have also prepared a separate detachment. They are probably planning to target supply with other races that are dissatisfied with the Empire or the Murim.”
“Ho? You even noticed that?”
A thought passed by Ograkun’s eyes.
“No matter how many detachments there are, they are not enough to annihilate the enemy’s main force. If you want to achieve a complete victory, you should definitely aim for supply to the enemy’s rear… if possible.”
“Hmm. I think it would have been a much more interesting fight if you had led one of the two forces.”
“Well, if I were the commander-in-chief, this place would have already turned into a sea of fire.”
“It could have been so. However, this time I ended up falling victim to my own tricks.”
okay.
At first glance, it is a very neat strategy.
The plan is to protect Paradise Lost and at the same time catch the two forces off guard and cut off their supply routes.
It is a structure that has no choice but to automatically win if you just stay still inside the fortress.
But that’s it.
“Do you know that your current plan is feasible if one major premise is supported?”
“What major premise are you talking about?”
“The main premise is that you and the troops here must protect Tangrasil. If that goes wrong, everything will be in vain.”
“Haha. So, I might not be able to stop just one of you… Is this what you want to say?”
A whimper flowed from Ograkun’s mouth.
It is natural to find this absurd.
It was true that the death knights and ghost warhorses that had been rampaging just a moment ago were a threat.
That’s the story as long as it continues.
T-Bone, whose time limit has expired, has already lost his glory as a Death Knight.
The only one left was Jinhyuk.
If it’s not easy even if you lead an army, what can you do with just one person?
but.
There was one thing Ograkun didn’t know.
Rather than gathering the power of one force.
“There is a good chance of winning. Since the barrier has been dismantled, I will no longer have to worry about my magic being taken away.”
The fact that one person can have a greater influence.
[Lv5 ‘nails that cover the moon’ appear!]
A powerful force reminiscent of the claws of an animal surged from Jinhyeok’s left hand.
[The unique ability ‘Colossus Strike’ is activated!]
The right hand contained the spirit of the giants.
There.
As the ‘White Beast’ obtained from ‘Caracal’ of the Frost Blade tribe was added, an indescribable heat wavered.
Wriggling.
Ograkun’s eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape.
“That power….”
The opponent is a human.
Compared to giants, they are small creatures that are not even worthy of comparison.
It is an extremely weak being that can rip out the spinal cord with a single blow.
And yet… … What on earth? This feeling of intimidation.
As if we were facing Mount Tai.
O’Grakun’s instincts began to raise alarms.
Dangerous.
If you don’t do your best against it… … .
… … Rather, it may be the one who suffers.
‘It won’t be easy.’
Ograkun grabbed his greatsword with both hands.
Still, with this level of power, you will be able to deal with it somehow.
This is because he still had the unique ability ‘Berserker’ that could manifest the will of a berserker.
However, the moment I saw the scene that followed.
“omg……!”
Ograkun was forced to realize that all the assumptions made about the outcome were meaningless.
＊＊＊
Convergence.
It is a unique ability that allows you to reach a higher level by collecting the copied opponent’s skills.
Jinhyuk’s hands combined their energy into one.
Then at that very moment.
[The unique ability ‘Colossus Strike’, the skill ‘Claws that Cover the Moon’, and the unique ability ‘White Beast’ are fused!]
Didn’t I tell you to just use force and press it down?
If so, let me do that.
The condition is that 3 abilities obtained from monsters must be fused, and that fusion is only possible when appropriate ‘copy conditions’ are met.
As the level of difficulty was extremely extreme, the result was guaranteed.
[You have succeeded in obtaining the right arm of the giant ‘Tombgrave’!]
[Copied unique abilities are stored in ‘Memory of the World’.]
A dazzling brilliance flickered, and Paradise Lost was engulfed in a huge light.
Wooooow!
And after a while.
When my vision returned… … .
Jinhyuk’s arm had changed.
No, it wasn’t just the appearance that changed.
fantasy, game,
