The soldier shouted save (94)

Day 3, afternoon.

Junseok Rodlier stops walking, leans his upper body forward, and raises his voice.

“I think I found the fourth tower of corpses.”

Without relying on his eyesight, the entire punitive force moves to confirm the appearance of the tower.

Park Min-cheol lets out a small breath and smiles.

“Okay, I found everything with this.”

“I’ll write it on the map too.”

Erendi picks up a quill pen that never dries and draws a square symbolizing the tower.

Four towers marked on the map.

Someone sighs while looking at the map.

“… … Now I just need to find the last one?”

The other punitive forces let out empty laughter at the young knight’s words.

“It seems you didn’t understand Mincheol’s explanation.”

“… … Yes? Isn’t there still one tower left?”

We didn’t have to find the location of the fifth tower ourselves.

“A place where the towers are connected in a line.”

Park Min-cheol connects the towers with a line.

Then, a line intersecting the four towers appeared in the center.

“This is where the exit opens after clearing. It’s where the fifth tower is.”

“Ha, haha… … So you found everything! Now all you have to do is destroy the tower?”

The punitive force smiles as the young knight speaks with an excited expression.

But as we were looking at the map closely, Erendi and I suddenly darkened our faces.

“It’s become difficult.”

“… … That’s right.”

“Why are you two doing this? We’ve found all the towers, so isn’t it time to just destroy them?”

Park Min-cheol quietly looks at the map at the sight of the two of us looking ominous.

“It says 80 here… … .”

“1 means 100 steps.”

“Does that mean it’s 8,000 steps from here to here…?”

He points to Park Min-cheol, who is having trouble with the map, and explains it to him.

“It seems like the map of this world doesn’t display steps. Just think of one step as being about 0.7m.”

Then Park Min-cheol realizes the problem and his face hardens.

“… … Even if you run without stopping, it is impossible to reach all five towers in 30 minutes.”

We had to attack the five towers sequentially, but the distance between the towers was too far.

Even if you just run towards the tower without having time to fight, it won’t be enough.

“… … It would have been nice if the towers were more densely packed, but the location is too bad.”

“So, what happens then? Does that mean I have to give up without even putting up a fight?!”

When the young knight utters a desperate voice.

The palace spy, Oben, leaps forward and grabs Park Min-cheol’s shoulder.

“Sir, the holy relic! Didn’t you forget the holy relic? You, a person from another world, clearly said with your own mouth that if you had the power of a saint candidate, you could purify the tower!”

Although there were no priests, there were two means by which the saintly candidates could exercise their power.

The holy relic ‘Holy Fake’ and Croa’s Dagger.

Park Min-cheol nods and says.

“Certainly. If you have the holy relics, it is possible to purify the tower.”

“You damn otherworldly bastard. If you forget that… … .”

“But, it cannot be used to purify holy relics.”

“… …Why?”

“Because we have to stop the boss with the holy relic.”

The punitive force looks puzzled at the unfamiliar word.

“… … Boss? What does that mean?”

Junseok Rodlier explains about the boss with a stern face.

“I’m talking about the strongest monster in the challenge dungeon.”

“… … Then, are you talking about Death Knight?”

Park Min-cheol asserts:

“No, Death Knight is not the boss.”

“Wh, what are you talking about! Is there anyone stronger than a Death Knight… … .”

“An immortal being who commands hundreds of thousands of skeletons and death knights.”

Park Min-cheol says the boss’s name with a small sigh.

“Rich. We must save the relic for him.”

When the name Richie comes out, the punitive force’s faces turn pale and their mouths close.

Only the young knight who doesn’t know English lets out a bewildered voice.

“… … What kind of guy is Richie that he does something like that?”

“An undead wizard who can annihilate the Knights Templar with a single finger. He is immortal until his heart, the Life Castle, is destroyed.”

“Well, it does have a weakness in that you can destroy the heart… … .”

“But he can tear the heart out of the body.”

“… … Yes? Then, then… … .”

“To hide your weakness, don’t hide your heart in an inconspicuous place.”

“There’s no way such a creature could exist… … .”

“It’s true… I have seen records of a party of warriors destroying the heart of the lich hidden underground.”

When the punitive force chewed their lips anxiously.

Oben becomes angry at Park Min-cheol.

“You damn otherworldly bastard! Your words are contradictory from the start!”

“……what do you mean?”

“A dagger imbued with divine power and a relic. When you first planned the operation, you completely forgot that these two existed! And now you say you need the relic to kill the lich? If that’s not bullshit, then what the hell is?!”

Oben shakes Park Min-cheol’s shoulder and shouts.

“Tell me! How did you plan on getting out without the relics! There had to be some way!!”

Park Min-cheol speaks, avoiding eye contact.

“… … I was thinking of using the nine of you as bait.”

“What, what?”

“What, what does that mean? Sir Mincheol!”

Park Min-cheol kept his mouth shut despite the punitive force’s questioning.

“You’d better speak straight. You’re from another world.”

As the knight steps forward in a threatening voice, someone urgently intervenes.

“Calm down. Mincheol didn’t want to live alone.”

It was Junseok Rodlier, who was also from another world.

“… … Don’t try to cover it up! You clearly said with your own mouth that you were trying to set us all up as bait… … .”

“Oh, you were trying to find the Life Castle! Without the Priest, the only thing that can break Richie’s heart is Mincheol’s ‘interaction’!”

The punitive force looks at Park Min-cheol at the words of Jun-seok Rodlier.

“Is what Junseok Kyung said true?”

“That’s right. Since I didn’t remember that there was a holy relic, I chose the strategy that gave me the highest chance of surviving alone. I apologize… … .”

Park Min-cheol lowers his head as if feeling guilty.

-puck!

He says, swinging his palm at the back of his head.

“Damn. You’re such a hero.”

“what……?”

“Don’t take responsibility for the entire punitive force, just focus on your own role, old man. So what are you going to do now?”

“… … I don’t know either.”

“Then I will come up with a plan. If it is impossible to destroy five towers within 30 minutes, there is only one way.”

Lift the quill and draw a downward stroke across the center of the map.

“We will split into groups of five and move. When the signal is given, we will attack simultaneously, destroying two towers each, and then meet up at the fifth tower.”

He asks the punitive force, who is focused on the map.

“Any questions?”

No one opposed the operation, as it was the only way to beat the 30-minute time limit without a holy relic.

“Then, I think it would be better to split it up into five groups, with Allen and Mincheol as the center.”

“… … It would be good for wizards to be divided into squads.”

The punitive force completes the operation one by one, raising their voices.

“Allen, just in case you don’t know, I’ll tell you how to stop Lich’s actions with the Holy Relic.”

“Okay. This time, tell me everything without leaving anything out.”

From stopping the Lich’s actions with the Holy Relic to destroying all the towers and escaping.

Park Min-cheol tells me everything he has tried to lead and solve without saying a word.

“It seems more feasible than the operation to set up nine people as bait.”

“… … Are you going to give me a pick?”

“Pig? What kind of slang is that?”

Park Min-cheol takes a deep breath and steps back.

“Okay, let’s get ready too.”

He stuffs all the food he had left into his mouth.

The punitive force, which has quenched its hunger and thirst, splits into groups of five.

“Don’t die. If you struggle even when faced with death, you will find a solution.”

“Sir Allen is right. Even if you die, crawl to the fifth tower and die.”

Park Min-cheol turns his back on the article and says.

“… … Let’s all live and see each other.”

Park Min-cheol.

To Junseok Rodley.

Oven.

A squad of two knights leaves your side.

Raise your voice and lead our squad.

“Let’s go too.”

My squad consists of three knights and the warlock Erendi.

After walking for about 30 minutes, Erendi extends her hand and shouts.

“This way!”

A skillful way to find your way even with a hastily made map.

His legs, which had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped.

“… … has arrived.”

As we looked up following Erendi, our target came into view.

The first tower of corpses in the midst of the teeming undead.

The ambitious knight is already holding his sword and making a quiet voice.

“I want to ask the wizard before we fight.”

“… … Are you talking about me?”

“Yes, Erendi. I wish you would tell me what kind of magic you mainly use.”

At the mention of main magic, Erendi glances at me and lies.

“What you can use against the undead is… … mid-to-lower level fire and ice magic.”

“Okay, I’ll take note.”

The knight calms his mind, closes his eyes and exhales at a steady pace.

Turn your gaze to your hands and do what you have to do.

“Park Min-cheol, have you arrived at the top?”

As I muttered that to the party ring, a reply came back.

The party window changes to a ‘free seat’ sign.

“It starts in exactly 3 minutes.”

With that said, I count the seconds in my mind.

“Erendy, you don’t have to hesitate even if the knights and Sir Allen are within range of your magic.”

“……yes?”

“We can easily detect, damage, and block low-level magic. If we can do it, Sir Allen can do it too.”

He nods his head, meaning that you can use magic without any burden.

Erendi, who had gained confidence, took a small breath and stretched her hand towards the tower.

“I will prepare the magic!”

The time for the raid is imminent.

I’ve counted down 2 minutes and 50 seconds so far.

‘… … 3 minutes.’

When we reached the appointed time with the other squad, we kicked the floor and raised our voices.

“Erendy, magic!”

“Glaciers!”

As Erendi raises her voice with all her might, the undead’s heads become shadowed.

A giant ice sphere floating in the sky.

Erendi shouts again at the ice sphere.

“Eruptio!”

Intense explosive magic.

-Paaaaang!

With a loud noise, shards of the ice sphere fly out in all directions.

-Pavavavavavabat!

A huge shard of ice that crushes the skeleton’s body.

The knight shouts, swinging his sword with a satisfied expression on his face.

“Hahahahahahaha! Isn’t that a great skill, wizard?”

Don’t stop your running legs.

-Whew!

He runs like lightning and cuts down five skeletons, then turns his eyes to examine the knights.

“Ugh, ugh!”

The headless knight, the knights who are struggling against the Dullahan.

Be aware of the situation and distance yourself from them.

‘The goal is not to exterminate the undead.’

We must finish it off before all the undead scattered around the tower rush in.

While the knights are distracting Dullahan, they turn around and head towards the Tower of Corpses.

‘… … The undead are suddenly targeting me.’

Is preventing the tower’s destruction their top priority?

He holds the red sword in his hand as he watches the undead rushing from all directions.

‘Red tidal wave!’

As red mud envelops the entire body, mana is released.

Red magic that covers the field of vision.

‘All at once!’

A red trail rises like a wave and slashes the tower of corpses.

-Snap… .

A tower that branches off along the trajectory.

-Pfft!

The tower of corpses with their bases broken begins to tilt towards the ground.

“The tower has been destroyed! We don’t have to fight anymore! Fight off the undead and fall back!”

I had to move my legs quickly to help the other members.

Swing your red sword towards the undead surrounding you on all sides.

But for some reason the sword didn’t swing properly.

―“Kuuuuu, inspector, look at the knights who are trapped in the Dullahan and dying! If you hand over your body to me… … .”

“If you forget that it’s a tool again, I told you I’d break it?”

He holds Croa’s dagger in his left hand and strikes the Red Sword.

-Bang!

As the red sword vibrates with strong impact, a voice of pain is heard.

-Ugh, ugh! Wh, what are you doing!

He strikes the sword once more at the loud voice.

-Ugh, euaaaah! Th, stop!

Fortunately, it seems there was no need to break it.

The red mud that had risen up completely disappears.

-Clang, clang.

“go away.”

Swing your sword sharply.

I destroy the skeletons coming from all directions and examine the knights again.

“Ugh, ugh!”

A battle of swords with 30 Dullahans, back to back.

“Focus on defense!”

When I move my legs urgently towards them who look precarious.

Someone’s voice echoed.

“Hey, Missus!!”

A black beam of light pierces through Dullahan’s abdomen.

Erendi was shouting black magic.
