Episode 204 Maestro Volkan of Battle (11)
“hmm?”
Lucia, who had been crushing the Skeleton Knight’s head with her foot, turned her head.
This is because I heard multiple explosions echoing here and there.
Right next to her, Elester unleashed magic and caused a huge explosion, but Lucia was an 8-star knight who transcended the human category.
Lucia’s senses could not be deceived.
“Lucia! “Focus on this side!”
“Are you concentrating enough? “I had nothing to do, so I just took a moment to look at the situation elsewhere.”
Quad deuk-.
Lucia trampled on the body of the headless skeleton knight.
Dozens of Skeleton Knights were experiencing repeated resurrection and death, but most of them were 4-5 star level.
He was no match for Lucia.
“Even if everyone else wins, it’s no use if we don’t win. So, make the most of your efforts.”
Elester lifted his sleeve and wiped away the sweat that was dripping down like rain.
Looking at him like that, Lucia fell into thought.
‘You lost your cool.’
When Lucia saw it, Elester had lost his mind.
The magic bombardment began as soon as the 5th Corps Commander Crowley saw the skull.
Elester did not rest even for a moment. As if that skeleton was an enemy of Cheolcheon, it unleashed an indiscriminate barrage of magic.
‘They say the strategy is to destroy the magic circle along with the palace… … .’
Elester is called the intellectual of this era.
Even if it takes a little time, wouldn’t you have come up with a much better way?
But instead of making that effort, they’re busy throwing out magic.
It was to the point where I had forgotten about ‘thinking’.
At first, I tried to understand that it was a relapse of PTSD caused by Crowley, but it was too severe.
‘We will soon be able to destroy the palace. But his resurrection is not far away.’
Crowley’s skull lying in a magic circle.
The inverted pentagram pattern that had bloomed at some point was gradually becoming darker.
Anyone can tell that Crowley’s resurrection is not far off, as the warlocks are gritting their teeth and concentrating.
There was a need to change the strategy a bit.
Exactly.
‘We must also keep in mind the possibility of Crowley being resurrected.’
If you decide in advance how to respond to a situation, you can act dozens of times faster than usual.
Because talking loudly in an emergency situation is something only idiots do.
‘It’s foolish to plan a strategy after Crowley’s resurrection. So, you have to plan your strategy in advance.’
However, currently, Elester is not even thinking about the resurrection of the corps commander.
Lucia felt the need to point this out.
Because the empire’s talented people, including Elester, could not be lost in a place like this.
“Aren’t you too excited? “Please calm down.”
“… … I am extremely calm. “I was just a little excited.”
“A little or too much. Isn’t it okay for an archmage to get excited? “Why would someone who knows everything be like this?”
Elester clicked his tongue. This is because I felt that Lucia had no understanding of her situation.
He opened his mouth as he cast the next spell.
“Lucia, do you know what that monster’s power is?”
“History books say he was a man who wielded the powers of curses, poison, and disease.”
“Yes, I know very well. “Then now you can understand why I do this.”
“It’s serious, it’s serious. Even if you are a great wizard, this is true. “If I use magic like that, I’m going to fall into trouble, right?”
It was just as Lucia said. Currently, Elester’s mana is less than 20% remaining.
I’ve been feeling dizzy for a long time because I’ve been using magic non-stop, and even if I succeed in preventing the commander’s resurrection… … .
‘If Volkan had prepared the next move… … ‘There is no power to stop it.’
Nevertheless, this is why Elester pours all his strength into it.
This was because he knew better than anyone else the fear of 5th Corps Commander Crowley.
“Everyone melted with one gesture of that damn hand and one breath. “People melted like water!”
The heroes who faced Crowley at that time fought while receiving curses with their whole bodies.
When he loses an arm, he bites Crowley with his leg, when he loses a leg, he bites him with his body, and when he loses his body, he bites Crowley with his mouth.
Even though he knew he was going to die, even though he knew his body was melting, he fought until the end.
Elester watched their activities, their dying scenes, and their deaths in the end.
I remembered it clearly.
“If Crowley had the same powers when he was resurrected, everyone would die. “Not only the people here, but the entire continent will melt.”
“… … .”
“So I am rational enough. Now you know why, just be quiet. “I usually accept your complaints, but now is not the time.”
Elester’s threat.
If it were normal Lucia, she would have quietly followed his words.
Because Elester was her teacher, and he was always right.
‘From the time I was fifteen until now… … ‘Elester was always right.’
There was a difference in accumulated knowledge, but Lucia was a person with a somewhat vain side.
But Lucia decided to open her mouth.
Twenty years. Although he has never been right about what he says.
Because he was certain that his side was right for now. No, it had to be that way.
That way, at least one more life can be saved.
“Okay, then question. “What would you do if Crowley was resurrected?”
“We must do our best to stop it.”
“see. It’s not rational. How can I stop the corps commander alone, Master? Honestly, 10 seconds… … No, I don’t think you can last even 5 seconds.”
“… … .”
Elester couldn’t say anything. Because what Lucia said was true.
‘… … ‘What should I do if something like that happens?’
An assumption I never wanted to make, because I knew well how scary Crowley was.
The first assumption I put out of my head immediately after seeing Crowley’s skull.
The resurrection of Crowley, commander of the 5th Corps.
Assuming that situation, Elester’s head, which had been stationary, began to spin violently.
‘If Crowley is resurrected, fighting him would be the worst move.’
Dealing with a corps commander with this many troops was like telling him to commit suicide.
When his thoughts reached that point, Elester had no choice but to admit it.
“… … “I guess I got excited without even realizing it.”
“I’m surprised you realize that now, but… … I’ll take a look. Because it’s not too late. Well, I finally got my first win.”
“Yes, your first victory. One win in twenty years. “We have to work harder to get ahead of the record.”
“You know that recent records are the most important indicator, right?”
than 499 wins and 1 loss.
Lucia’s claim that 1 win and 499 losses is superior.
“… … “It’s such a bizarre claim that it makes the entire record meaningless.”
“is that so? “Isn’t that logical?”
“I could turn that brilliant first win into a loss right now, but I’ll give you special attention.”
Elester laughed as he fired the ‘Cannon Buster’ at the pillar supporting Crowley.
“So, what do you think? “What do you plan to do when Crowley is resurrected?”
“I have to run away.”
“what?”
“I have to run away. What are you fighting for here? “We will be the only ones killed.”
“… … “Are you serious?”
“The only thing we have to protect here are the people who came with us, right? What a devastated land and palace. “What does it matter whether it melts or steams?”
Yes. There was nothing to protect here.
Isn’t this a land without an emperor, family, citizens, or even an animal?
There’s only one thing you can’t keep.
There is only ‘honor’.
‘A man called a hero in the empire proudly calls for a retreat…’ … Should I call this amazing or thoughtless… … .’
Elester was lost in thought.
To retreat. It’s definitely the best chat.
What should Crowley do when he is resurrected?
After capturing the unit, you can request support from neighboring countries.
If you form a human alliance according to the oath, you will not only increase your chances of winning.
‘We will be able to share the damage.’
The Empire will also suffer damage, but it will be considerably less.
Confirming the existence of Crowley, forming a human alliance, sending troops, and reaching the destination.
Since the continent may be destroyed, everything will proceed smoothly, but even so, it will take at least two weeks.
What you have to do is endure that time.
‘This is what the neighboring countries around this land should do.’
The power of neighboring countries is being reduced on its own, and there is no way the empire would dislike it.
Depending on the level of damage, troops could be stationed to exert imperial influence.
‘Well, I’m not sure if Lucia thought this far… … .’
One way or another, Lucia was right.
“Okay, I’ll join you in the retreat.”
“You have finally returned as a wise teacher.”
“But you know very well that that is only when Crowley succeeds in being resurrected.”
“Sure. For now, let’s go according to plan. “It seems like the boring magic mission is coming to an end.”
Why it took so long for Eleister to destroy the royal palace.
Although the architectural technology of the Kingdom of Rohan, formerly called the Golden Kingdom, was good, it was more due to the warlocks’ struggles with defensive magic.
Six warlocks with Crowley. They were high-ranking warlocks of at least the 6th circle.
However, Elester not only dealt with them, but even destroyed the building supporting the magic circle.
He overpowered the six by himself.
In the end, the warlocks were focused on Crowley’s resurrection using the magic circle as a shield, and the end was approaching.
‘But it’s the same here too.’
Although Elester used magic at random, it does not mean that he did not think about the structure of the building.
The floor supporting the magic circle was in the process of being created so that it would inevitably collapse.
‘The work will be completed in a little while.’
After the work is finished, one large spell will be enough to shatter Crowley’s bones along with the magic circle.
It was a time when Elester continued to cast magic.
Puzzle-!
Adonis fell from the sky.
“Oh, grandpa! long time no see. “Are you alive?”
“Yes, Lucia. Nice to meet you too. “What’s the situation?”
“It’s just as you see. I think it will come to a conclusion soon. “What is the situation there?”
“Not good. “There were many deaths and injuries.”
“okay? “It’s not easy either.”
Where Adonis was, there were also his nurse and Sylvia.
But Lucia didn’t ask any more questions. She wanted to ask more than anyone else, but she kept her mouth shut.
This was because he knew very well how important his role was now.
“Volkan, where is he?”
“What, wasn’t it there? “It wasn’t here?”
Adonis frowned slightly.
Adonis, who had visited dozens of battlefields, could tell.
‘The commander of the corps is also a problem… … I shouldn’t miss that Volkan guy either.’
Bottomless health, infinite respawns, exploding corpses and even resurrecting the dead as skeletons to fight your allies.
It was Adonis who clearly realized the fear of the undead.
That’s not all.
‘Currently, it seems that only up to 6-star knights can be made into skeletons… … .’
What if it grows? What if we find a way to handle more power?
What if that ability were used in a large-scale battlefield where tens of thousands of people clash?
Hell will unfold.
‘I must kill him.’
Even for the sake of the children who are still fighting against the skeletons, and even to prevent the Hell Island.
Volkan’s head had to be cut off.
“Well, if that guy is resurrected, he’ll retreat. I know.”
Lucia says she will retreat when Crowley is resurrected.
Adonis, realizing the meaning behind it, let out a pleasant laugh.
“I thought it was a thunderbolt… … “You’ve grown.”
“Grandpa has become smaller. “If we fight now, maybe I’ll win?”
Lucia rested her elbow on Adonis’ shoulder.
But Adonis just smiled kindly.
“Don’t look forward to it. “But that won’t happen.”
“Hehe~ I just defeated Master too, right? “Do you think I can’t beat you, grandpa?”
“For all that, it looks fine.”
“It’s natural that I won with my spirit!”
Adonis thought. If that’s the case, it’s even more unbelievable.
“So, grandpa, what did you come all the way here for? “It’s hard even for a grandpa to destroy a building.”
“I came here to check the situation, but… … I came to catch Volkan. This fight will end only when we catch him. He might even be able to stop the resurrection of the corps commander.”
“Well, that’s true. “The problem is that we don’t know where they are hiding.”
“The resurrection of the corps commander is not far off. “It’s the moment when the guy who was hiding has no choice but to crawl out.”
“Hmm, that’s definitely true. It’s already a close situation. “Then he might already be here.”
Adonis nodded.
By now, they are probably hiding somewhere and watching them.
Resurrecting the corps commander. Because that was exactly Volkan’s purpose.
“First, let me tell you the newly acquired information. Up to 6-star knights can be revived. “It seemed impossible from a 7-star knight onwards.”
“Wait a minute, so that doesn’t mean even that skeleton can’t get up? “He’s a corps commander.”
That certainly makes sense. but.
“I don’t think that guy Volkan doesn’t know that. Still, the fact that he put in such effort… … .”
“Is there a way? “It’s a really troublesome ability.”
Lucia scratched her head nervously.
One way or another, the conclusion was the same.
To fight and win.
“There are many injured. “Let’s end this quickly.”
“Isn’t that the case? Anyway, have fun running. “I will look for it as soon as I have time.”
“I’m not looking forward to it.”
Qarring-!
As soon as Adonis took his steps, the sound of thunder echoed throughout the battlefield.
