Episode 202 Maestro Volkan of Battle (9)
“Keuuk!”
The warlock who was hit by Charon’s fist collapsed.
After confirming that the bastard had fainted, Charon took out an artifact.
It was a capture artifact that blocked the flow of mana.
Arms, legs, and even the mouth.
Charon, who had carefully restrained the warlock’s recruit, blew a light whistle.
Then, a gutter rat appeared from nowhere, wrapped around the warlock, and quickly disappeared.
“… … “Is it the third one?”
To be exact, two were arrested and one died.
In fact, Charon had also experienced the same thing as the Ottone team.
The sight of a dead warlock turning into a skeleton and resurrecting other skeletons is truly… … .
‘Even I got goosebumps.’
After that, Charon chose to restrain the recruit rather than kill the warlock.
It was partly to extract information later, but also because they wanted to prevent the dark wizard from rising again.
Of course, you can easily handle it if you use a divine power potion… … .
‘Making a waste of divine power potions. Isn’t that this guy Volkan’s first target?’
From Charon’s perspective, it was quite intentional.
I don’t know what moves Volkan has prepared, but if you don’t have the divine power potion at that time, you’ll be in quite a bit of trouble.
That was all I knew clearly.
Anyway, from Charon’s perspective, it was much more beneficial to restrain the warlock rather than kill him.
There will be no need to turn into a skeleton and be resurrected, and you will no longer waste holy power potions.
“Tsk.”
Charon, who was searching the next building, clicked his tongue.
The location of the warlock could not be determined.
This is why even Charon, who is used to tracking, searching, and searching, is having a hard time.
This was because the power of the magic circle floating in the sky was still there.
‘Plus, I created a hiding space in advance.’
In the end, Charon had no choice but to search the walls and floors of the building one by one using his eyes, hands, feet, and senses.
Grumbling-!
At that moment, thunder sounded outside. Charon immediately went outside and inspected the battlefield.
Golden lightning was striking all over the battlefield.
‘Mr. Adonis?’
Charon was able to recognize that fact right away.
It was natural since we had been on the battlefield together more than a dozen times. Of course, it was a time when I was active as Douglas, not in the body of Adonis… … .
‘You’re still the same.’
Even though his body has become smaller, his majesty still remains.
Originally, Adonis was one of the secret beasts prepared by the empire.
That’s why I wanted him to move as late as possible, but I also followed Adonis’ judgment and choice.
It wasn’t something Charon could say.
And in the first place.
‘You’ve been patient for this long.’
Although the punitive force appears to be in danger, they are called the ‘rising stars of the empire.’
He would have been able to survive on his own for at least an hour or two, and if Elester or Lucia had supported him from time to time, it would have been possible for more.
This means that Volkan could have pulled off one or two more of the moves he prepared.
of course.
‘A few people may have had no choice but to die in the process.’
Adonis was concerned about that, and in the end he had no choice but to show his skills first.
Even though he knew that that action would ultimately lead to Adonis, himself, being strangled.
This is something you should never do in a situation like now, when you don’t know what your opponent is aiming for on the battlefield.
But that’s why.
“… … “You must have been called a hero.”
An attitude that does not hesitate to make sacrifices.
This was also the reason why Charon deeply respected Adonis.
Grumbling-!
“… … .”
The strongest card has been revealed, but there is nothing bad about it.
Even if the existence of Adonis knows, it is not something that can be stopped.
In the first place, what is their real secret weapon?
‘Because it’s Adonis holding the holy sword.’
You will be able to easily suppress one or two of the trump cards that Volkan has prepared.
After completing the search, Charon was about to move to the next building.
A rat stuck its face out of the window.
“It is said that the potion sent by Ottone Joe has been delivered to the main unit.”
“Otone made a good decision. “How is the situation at the main university?”
“I am taking a break in two shifts while treating minor injuries. “There were no deaths.”
“… … “What about the corps commander?”
“The framework of the building has just been revealed. “I think we’ll be able to knock down the building soon.”
With that report, the rat left.
Charon surveyed the battlefield once again.
The number of resurrected skeletons had decreased noticeably.
Although it is partly because he, the rat, and Ottone Joe succeeded in capturing the warlocks.
‘This is probably because the amount of mana consumed is greater than the amount recovered.’
Qarring-!
Crispy!
Skulls that crumble to pieces every time Adonis passes by.
It will take more mana than usual to raise the powdered skull again.
The punitive force is dominating the battlefield.
However, it was not without elements of anxiety.
‘5th Corps Commander Crowley… … .’
It has been confirmed that the resurrected skeleton can use the abilities it had when it was alive.
Corps Commander Crowley will also be able to use the power he had when he was alive, ‘power’.
‘If he is resurrected, there is no chance for us to win.’
Preventing the resurrection of the corps commander is the top priority.
But Charon did not head there.
This was because he knew very well that even if he went, it would not be of much help.
bang! Crumbling!
Explosions occurred periodically where Elester and Lucia were.
‘I’m casting a spell. If you intervene, it will only be a hindrance.’
Moreover, Charon is specialized in interpersonal combat.
Even if you plunge a dagger into the building, you will only be able to remove a few dozen bricks.
‘It is much more profitable to find Volkan and the warlock.’
A gift of freedom to the main body, including Adonis.
That was his role and mission.
It was that moment.
Jejeojeok- Jejeojeok-.
Clang-!
The magic circle floating in the sky split apart, and half of it turned into powder and flew away.
Sasha succeeded in destroying more than half of the magic stones.
Only then was Charon able to sense the warlocks’ mana.
Although it was limited to the western area where the magic circle had lost its power, this was enough.
‘Half and half… … No, it’s about 7:3 superiority.’
It’s difficult to say that we won, but it’s a ratio that’s enough to say we won.
Charon decided to make a decision.
‘Time is not on our side. If Crowley is resurrected, it’s all over.’
Charon put a couple of fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly.
Beep-!!
The popularity that was felt one by one, soon increased to dozens.
The growing popularity stopped only when he reached his fifties.
This is the number of rats that secretly followed the main force after it entered Kalos.
This was the number of street rats that Charon had specially prepared for this mission.
“After defeating the warlock, leave Kalos. “Please don’t kill me if possible.”
“yes!”
The gutters immediately took action.
They were gutter rats who had prepared to send information about the enemy to the empire, assuming the worst case scenario that everyone would die.
However, Charon decided to send them into battle.
This was because they believed that the faster they could eliminate the warlocks hiding in the building, the easier it would be to subdue this battlefield.
‘I will leave Kalos with the warlock, so even if a situation arises, I will be able to convey enough information.’
The combat power of the gutter rat is weak. But if the number is large, the situation is different.
“Tsk!”
“100 million!”
The sound of a warlock falling was heard everywhere.
Charon also took action immediately.
Just a little faster.
To subdue this battlefield.
* * *
A huge cavity of indeterminate size.
Again-.
A drop of water fell from the ceiling.
Because the cavity was so large, it seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time for the water droplets to reach the ground.
Knock!
However, the water droplets turned into dozens of small water droplets before they even reached the ground.
This was because it touched ‘some object’ before touching the ground.
One object was none other than a bone.
A pure white bone without a single piece of flesh or nerve tissue attached.
What’s strange is that the bone was huge.
So much so that it fills the cavity, so much so that as soon as a drop of water falls, it hits the bone and shatters into pieces.
“hmm?”
Volkan, the warlock who was reciting a spell while touching the bone, raised his head.
This is because I felt that the number of warlocks leaving the battlefield was increasing one by one.
They are like limbs, playing the most important role in this battlefield, and are being kidnapped.
It was a situation that could not help but be embarrassing. but.
“Hehehe, all the rats have finally come out.”
A smile appeared on Volkan’s face.
“Charon, you would have expected it to come out like this.”
Information, prevention of resurrection, and even prevention of waste of divine power potions.
He must have decided that it would be more beneficial to arrest the warlocks rather than kill them.
And there was a trap prepared by trusting such a capable Charon.
Sigh!
Volkan flicked his fingers.
After a while, he could feel it.
All the warlocks who were dragged away while unconscious faced death.
This was the result of activating the ‘curse’ that had been placed on them in advance.
By killing the warlocks, there was no need to worry about information being stolen, and they could be resurrected as skeletons to create chaos on the battlefield.
Since the warlock skull can resurrect other skulls, you will inevitably have to use holy power potions as well.
But that wasn’t Volkan’s only goal.
“Charon, it’s all your fault that the rats are dying. so… … “I want you to go with me.”
That would be courtesy and atonement for them.
Volkan’s mouth opened awkwardly.
“Body explosion.”
* * *
“Charon, I will finish this.”
“hmm.”
The warlock that Charon had imprisoned was handed over to the Gutter Rat.
Even though he was wearing a mask, I could tell who it was.
The child entered the school last year and, after completing difficult training, became an official gutter rat this year.
Since he was fifteen, he was advised to enroll in Annwood Academy, but he was immediately rejected.
He said that working in the darkest places suits him.
Yes. She was a spirited and very cheeky child.
‘… … I’ll have to send it to the academy as soon as this mission is over.’
The mission is to disguise yourself as a student and enter the academy to collect various information from the students.
Since you have to be active among students, you will be forced to take classes.
You will make friends and you will be able to live a life like a 15-year-old.
‘Whether I continue working as a gutter rat after graduation or go down a different path… … ‘It’s none of my business.’
In the first place, he wasn’t a good cat to take part in this mission.
However, because there were so few people, we had no choice but to bring them in.
Well, there was no reason to worry now that safety was guaranteed the moment the warlock was taken out of Kalos.
It was that moment.
“Keuuk… … !”
“what?”
The warlock with the rat on his back shouted a final word.
Charon saw that and felt strange.
Such as on the wrist or inside the mouth. This is because all spaces where poison could be hidden had been inspected.
There was no reason for the warlock to suddenly die.
“… … ?”
And the very moment when I made eye contact with the gutter rat in the air.
Fuuuuuuu-!!
Charon’s body was thrown out of the building along with the explosion that engulfed the building.
Bleep!
Tinnitus disturbed my ears.
Charon quickly grasped the situation. Something exploded.
Explosive trap? No, is it magic?
“Cough!”
I entered the building despite coughing.
This was because it was necessary to check the extent of the rat’s injuries.
Charon waved his arms and succeeded in settling the dust.
The appearance of a rat with only the bottom of its ankles remaining.
Only then did Charon realize.
What exploded was not an explosive or anything, but the corpse of a warlock.
And your face and whole body.
It’s stained with the blood and flesh of gutters.
“… … Was it a trap?”
Charon, a gutter rat, and a resurrected warlock who are obsessed with information.
It was clear that he had taken advantage of that point.
Dust was seen rising from all over the buildings in District 1.
How many gutters died because of their own wrong judgment?
Charon sat down without even realizing it.
I repeated at the same time.
“… … “What are you doing now, Charon?”
Did you want a complete victory without losing anything?
Are you still in that fantasy?
Have you forgotten the cruelty of war?
That can’t be possible. I have never forgotten a single moment.
but.
I was a little tired, so I just needed time to compose myself.
Charon stood up.
Falling into sentimentality, falling into guilt.
It’s enough to do it after this war is over.
Beep-!
Whistle sounds rang out here and there. It was a whistle calling for rescue.
Fear, confusion, sadness.
Gutter rats are beings who have been educated not to open their mouths under any circumstances.
Due to the nature of the rat collecting information, there was a high probability that death would result if the location was discovered.
So, the rats make whistles, birdsong, animal sounds, etc.
We used to communicate in ways other than words.
Yes. diarrhea.
Even if you are injured and have several parts of your body blown off.
That was when Charon was moving toward the nearest whistle.
Saaaa-.
The body of a street rat, with only the area below the ankle remaining.
The attached flesh melted away in an instant, leaving only the bones.
At the same time, the bone fragments scattered here and there came together little by little, and soon formed two shapes.
One is a warlock skull, and the other is… … .
Ta-dak-tad-dak-!
It was a skeleton holding a dagger.
It was clearly the skeleton of the fifteen-year-old rat that had been with him just a moment ago.
Before we even have time to mourn, we make our allies fight among themselves. It was truly a damn ability.
“… … sorry.”
They made him suffer while he was alive, but they made him suffer even after he died.
Charon pledged as he applied divine power potion to the dagger.
Volkan, wait.
You must.
“Because I will tear you to death.”
