Chapter 683 – The Subjugation of Askatlov

Right after the 4th phase started, something made of black mana appeared in the sky.

Many people noticed the change.

Ranker.
Warrior.
Sword Saint.

The superpowers who transcended human limits noticed that something had changed with the start of Serse Phase 4.

After notifying their comrades of the abnormality through their own means of communication, they immediately ran out…

Shu Kaka Kak.

I saw countless arrows covering the sky.
No, is it an arrow?
A stone spear made of shining magic.

Quaang! Kwakkwakkwag!!

The area of ​​destruction was small, but the power was concentrated and condensed, and it had unparalleled destructive power.
It was self-evident that no matter how ranker he was, he would not be safe if he got hit.
However, the arrow remained fixed in the sky and could not come down.

“What happened to the shield?”
“All right!!”

Soldiers’ cries.
Indeed, as they said, a stream of blue mana surged from the sky and appeared on the magical barrier.

The barrier is a javelin of immense power. It blocked all the arrows that Kitz described as ‘Magic bullets’.

Jjwoong-! Bang!

As expected of Sers, where the former ten heroes lived, the defense was strong.

A super-mage from long ago.
It is said that the great mage Nerenia, who is called the first Emrepes, responded to the king’s earnest request with ‘one gesture’.

Most of them were blocked by him and could not enter Serth.

But that wasn’t the problem.

Coo coo coo.
Damn it.

Magic stones change.
It is unimaginable at its size, smaller than a human. Up to the size of an elephant or even a house.

Koo Goo Goo Goo!!

The magic stone spears turned into demonic beasts and roared.
Intense magic power echoing from the magic stone.

That magic power is no ordinary magic power.
Terrible, terrible magic that is imbued with the magic of the Eight Demon Kings, Askatlov.

The bizarre magical power could not disarm the shield itself, but it made it distorted for a moment, and the magical beasts fell into the shield that lost its physical defense effect for a very short time and fell to the ground.

Wow!!

Kwak!! Kwak Kwah Kwak-!!

A huge mass bomb.
The beasts’ bodies, which were much heavier than monsters of the same class, were vicious weapons.

“…Ah.”
“Uh?”

The residents of Sers, who had come out to see what was going on with the binge drinking, blinked their eyes.

Dense clouds of dust… In between, dozens and hundreds of shining eyeballs.

[Oh oh oh!!]

A bull demon the size of an elephant jumped out of the Tutatatat dust cloud.

“Kyaaak!”
“Even, run…!”

People who thought they had to run away but couldn’t move their feet because they were overwhelmed with energy.
Rather, they were better off.
Most of them just stood there blankly, unable to keep up with reality.

And.

Booooong-!!

The monsters suddenly dragged the bull that had gone ahead as if it had been sucked up by a vacuum cleaner.
The place they are being dragged to is where Ranker Pristan is.

He had his arms crossed, but he untied them and sighed! I cheered up and too kwa kwa kwak. He smashed the monsters with his fist.

The bull galloped on regardless of the deaths of its comrades who had invaded together.
People were running in a strange direction, not sure if they were targets.
If this continued, it was clear that there would be considerable damage to both buildings and people.

“Where are you going, cow kid?”

Jjoeok-!!

Appearing in front of the bull beast, a woman who is quite muscular but funny compared to the bull.

However, against its appearance, it was the bull side that was destroyed.
Cracks began to form around the fingers stuck between the eyebrows, and soon the whole body collapsed.

Ranker Maiya slammed her fist at a speed that she couldn’t even see, and the monsters turned into powder in an instant.

There are few monsters left now.
Those monsters were also being eaten by insects that were formed when the floor collapsed.

“Suddenly, what is this?”

While Maya frowned at her. Unusual energy flowed from outside.

The rankers immediately jumped on top of the castle.
And beyond. I watched hundreds of thousands of monsters approaching in the dark as if I was tired.

“Those monsters. They seem to be stronger than yesterday?”

Pristan’s murmur.
Paltra appeared next to him and pointed his finger at a certain place.

“Look.”

Among the hordes of swarming monsters. Individuals that are clearly differentiated from other monsters in size and appearance, as if the magic stone and the original body were fused.
There were rare monsters with large and colorful patterns engraved and emitting sparkling light.

Thousands of ordinary monsters could have gone unnoticed, but users immediately noticed the bizarre energy.

“It’s not unusual. At least…”
“Will it be A-class?”

It was Mai who inherited Faltra’s words.
She scratched her head wildly and narrowed her eyes.

At least grade A.
An A-class is a class that is about the size of a small Hetzling Bone Dragon.

There are at least ten such instances…
I could feel the strength of the magic beasts next to that special magic beast growing even more.

That moment.

Per-Uh!!

Suddenly there was an explosion, and something flew from afar.

The magic stone spears from earlier. It was a magic bullet.

“You said it wasn’t the end…?”
“Hmm.”

Paltra stretched out her hand.
The sand rising in large scale is trying to catch the spears of the magic stone… Hui-oh. Fell to the floor helplessly.

“What?”

Faltra twisting his mouth in displeasure.
Her Ryunar was scattered.

While looking for the cause, she looked at the special monsters.

“Those monsters. Basically, they are emitting a wave that disrupts Mana and Ryunar. And it seems that they are connected to other monsters and share that wave.”
“Under.”

That said, it would be even more difficult to use the specials and skills if you stayed with them.
Well, it’s rankers. Unless you’re using a large-scale attack, it won’t have much of an impact, but what if it’s a normal user?

“They say it’s phase 4, and suddenly it’s really hard.”

Maya grumbled.
Phase 1. There is no comparison to Phase 2.
The good news is that you don’t have to go downstairs, just defend from the top of the castle…

“Miyah-sama!!”
“Huh?”

A man who could be said to be Maiya’s adjutant hurriedly ran in and gasped for breath.

“What Dre-nim posted on the community. Did you see it?”
“I see now.”

Rankers quickly entered the community.
And I saw the article that Dre wrote.

[Phase 4. The monsters started shooting magic bullets. A number of leader-type monsters have been added. Added one King of Beasts. Phase 4 ends early when 14 or more leader-type monsters are defeated.]

[What are you talking about;;]
[Leader type monster?]
[Sick people. Don’t be a community, come to the castle and see for yourself. There are puppies who look unusual just by looking at them.]
[It was in two directions yesterday, but today it is the North Gate. Introduction. South gate. Coming from three directions? Jingle jingle things.]
[Hey. Why am I the only one at the South Gate? Fuck.]
[…North Gate. Support. Some support. G.. -Since he died, he will be temporarily removed from the chat window.-]
[? What’s the kid above?]
[What is a leader type monster…]

“…That’s right.”

That special monster would be a leader monster.
And…

“Faltra.”

Before Maya called, Paltra was reconciled with sand and was heading somewhere.
It was the north gate.

Chat suddenly disconnected while requesting support at the North Gate.
No matter how much the users like to joke around, there weren’t many idiots enough to play pranks even in this situation.
And rankers saw such a case.

If you die while playing chat.

“You mean there was a concept of early termination?

There is a better way to minimize damage than just defending the walls.=
More than that, he didn’t have the confidence to stop such a force all day.

There is an emergency in Sersu, and residents are starting to evacuate, but monsters will invade before the evacuation is completed.
And it was difficult to stop the monsters from running recklessly ignoring aggro.

Now, the third magic stone spear tried to break into Sers.

“What should I do?”

Maya was silent at Pristan’s question.
If Kowski or Reina were still here, at least Poise would ask them to shoot, but neither of them were there.

Kowski is temporarily collaborating with the main store, so he doesn’t know where he is, and Reina is on the same side. And Poise… I don’t know when the damn devil will come, but he’s waiting there.

Tsk. Maiya slightly bit her tongue and clenched her fist to move herself at least for now.

Tring!

[The chairman has used all chat rights.]

Full chat rights?
General users widened their eyes at the unfamiliar name, and rankers widened their eyes in surprise asking if they were using that expensive one.

[Everyone, please listen to my instructions.

The magic stone spear is fired into Serth at regular intervals. The magic stone then turns into a demon beast and behaves in two patterns.

One type exhibits the intelligence of a normal monster attacking nearby enemies.
Another kind runs in a different direction.
It seems to be trying to enter the warp gate that can go up to the ‘floating island’ in the direction.

The huge orb of mana floating in the sky is probably to connect the path of the monsters when they arrive at the severed warp gate.

If you are below level 300, please get rid of the monsters attacking from the outskirts of Sers.

Those who are level 300 or higher, please help the ‘rankers’ outside the walls of Sers.

Rankers, please annihilate the ‘leader type monsters’.

Also, an entity called the King of Beasts appeared at the North Gate.

It is not the elephant-shaped beast of yesterday, but the tiger-shaped beast.

‘Paltra’ and ‘Machia’ went over there.
Nothing to worry about.]

Stuff that resonates uncontrollably.

“…That’s amazing.”
“Have you already sorted out the information?”
“As expected, the chairman.”

Admiration echoed everywhere.
Maya narrowed his eyes.
Because of this incident, she thought that the chairman’s share price might be higher than that of Dre’s.

‘What a silly idea in a combat situation.’

Maiya shook her head and clenched her fist.
There were no instructions from either Dre or Kitz.

If that’s the case, it’s hard to follow the president’s words, but for now…

Aaaaah-!!!

A huge energy of mana.
Magic enough to make monsters and users alike hesitate for a moment.

“What?!”

The walls of Sers… Are rising tremendously.
Three times the previous one.

And numerous ‘magical devices’ and ‘mechanical devices’ caught the flying magic stones.
Finally, a darkness thicker than the darkness currently covering the world covers the monsters.

Kujijik! Kwajajajak!
Kwajijijijijik-!

The terrifying sounds that echoed inside stimulated a disturbing imagination of what was going on.

In the meantime, users are in a daze.

That buck that buck

A beautiful woman wearing a witch’s hat with an absurdly captivating body walked out to the front of the castle holding a smoking pipe.

“Come on. Take it.”
“Uh, uh? You… You…”

Maiya opened her mouth as she was handed over the witch’s amulet.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person, but it’s a face I’ve seen in many ways.

Instructor at Prunar Academy.
The greatest witch of all time.
Besides that, she is too beautiful to be qualified with all kinds of titles.

Emily.

“Perks and skills will be obstructed. At this level, though.”

Whoa. She smoked her smoking pipe and reached out her hand.

Kwaaang!!

The monsters where she stretched out her hand exploded and flew through the sky.

“I’ll support you. Go.”
“…What, what. Are you on our side?”
“Instructor Dre asked for help.”
“…Well, if that’s the case.”

What is that child
It was working fine
Maya jumped down with a laugh, followed by Pristan and… Two swordsmen.

Sword Saint Mikake. Veiled.
The two swordsmen joined silently and showed warlike smiles… Geeing!! Extending his sword to several tens of meters, he jumped out ahead of the ranker.

Don’t let Maiya lose, run forward.

The clash between hundreds of thousands of monsters and a handful of humans was surprisingly overpowered by a few humans.
Dumb users are swordsmen and rankers on the ground. Then, he looked at the instructors at Pryunar Academy at the people with mighty magical powers that appeared above the sky.

“It’s true… Instructor Dre’s dealing with an old man is rough, isn’t it, Vice Principal?”
“… Instructor Blut. Stop slandering Instructor Dre.”
“…? Gyo, vice-principal… Is that right?”

Could this person be defending Dre?
Looking back, there was a notable difference.
Her right arm was noticeably clean.
White hands without wrinkles.

“Mr. What about the arm?”
“…”

The reporter didn’t answer.

At that time, a neatly dressed man who was standing next to two wrinkled men came down to the users of the castle.
Head instructor Alfred cast cold eyes at the players.

“One thing. I will apply. Go.”

I don’t think it’s a bad command style…
Alfred felt worthy of following his words, and the users jumped forward.

And it took about 40 minutes.

Tiring!!

[Phase 4 ends early!]
[You have achieved a feat!]
[Bonus will be paid to the reward!!]
[Let’s pay special rewards to those who have achieved special merit!]

In the midst of a loud alarm.
Dre was still sitting where he met Machia, his chin resting.
Beside him, Euclid was fidgeting.

Then Dre finally muttered blankly.

“Strange.”
