Chapter 106 – Cultists in the Sewers

After going a long way in the direction the cultists were coming from, we finally found some kind of light source. The vermilion light emanating from beyond the corner suggested that some kind of facility existed there. There seemed to be a strange smell coming from it.

“It smells so damn fishy. It’s just that.”
“It might be a cultist’s temple.”

He lowered his posture nervously and slowly poked his head out over the corner.

First of all, since I’m black-headed, I’ll be at least a camouflage, so I decided to stick it out first. Very slowly and carefully, preparing to pull my head out at any moment, I witnessed the truth behind the corner.

“…!”

It was an altar.

Across the corner was a large room.

In the center of the room was an altar with some kind of flame burning. And glyphs. A pattern I had seen many times was carved on the wall behind the altar, and four cultists in robes were standing there staring at the altar.

I searched for a while and immediately put my head away.
I immediately explained to the kids what I had seen.

“The number of cultists is four in total. There is an altar in the center, and the fire seems to come from there. It’s quite large… Mr. Merman. Can you guess anything? If you’re using old paper, you’ll need some firewood.”

There is also a place that leads to a waterway outside the city, so it may have entered through there. What kind of relationship do they have with the undead? Perhaps they were the servants of the Necromancer.

“I don’t know. Are you any better than that? It’s getting scarier…”
“Trust the money. Money.”

We lowered our voices and discussed what to do with the four.

It seems like they haven’t noticed us yet, so it’s best to just run and stab each one to death. But now that I think about it, seeing an altar like that made me think that there might be a high-level wizard.

Then you have to take the risk.

“Mr. Merman is here… Can each one of them be dealt with? Looking at the situation, he doesn’t seem to know about intruders or anything like that. He doesn’t seem particularly wary or anything like that.”
“Should I enter first?”

Meria said confidently.

He seems to be overconfident in his shield, but certainly nothing is more important than that kind of confidence when launching an ambush like this. If you firmly believe that you will not be defeated by the enemy by trusting your shield, your combat power will rise dramatically.

“Then let’s say 1, 2, 3, 4 starting from the left based on the direction we’re looking, and kill them all in the order they entered. Since Meria is first, take the one on the far left, and the rest will kill the ones next to it. I think I can do it. Okay?”

If you set the target in advance like this, you will be able to slaughter the panicked enemy in perfect order.

“OK.”
“I don’t care anyway.”
“Hmm, I see.”

Set the order Meria, me, Cloudy, and Copson decided to jump out in order. After making a decision, it was the beginning of the attack. We sneakily, slowly approached the dangerous place. I’m thinking of taking a surprise attack in an appropriate place.

We kept silent as much as we could and walked like turtles, so they didn’t notice the attack until we got to close range. He was only intent on muttering something while looking at the altar.

Are you praying? It doesn’t matter anyway.

It was a very good opportunity for us.
He must have lived without imagining an attack.

And.

—Pavat!

We, who kept our silence and jumped out, launched a surprise attack with each of us marked.

“…Dat? RoUga?”

Hearing footsteps, the cultists also noticed our presence and turned around. But it was too late. We had already run away, and now they only looked back because they wanted something. I didn’t have time to react.

“Joe!”

I ran toward the target, shouting like a wild beast. On the left is Meria, who raises her shield and runs away. And on the right, there was Cloudy, who had decapitated one of them a long time ago.

“Sya!!! PoDat!!!”
“Hryab!!”

ㅡQuaang!

As it was, Meria collided with the guy on the far left. The impact caused the cultist to miss the wand he was holding and tossing it out. She immediately drew her sword and threw herself at the fallen one. As the sword plunged into the cultist’s body as if it were going into a scabbard, I also met the eyes of my target.

“Daoc!!!”

She thrust the blade right into his face.

The guy who screamed out loud twisted his body and dodged my knife. But that’s it. As long as you throw your body away with the intention of avoiding it without thinking about the future, you will be exposed to the next attack as it is.

As Karin taught her, she calmly hit the guy’s abdomen with her knee. Then, the man who had vomited gastric juice bent his back like a shrimp. He immediately grabbed the knife he had stabbed into the air and stabbed it into his back.

“Chureouk!!”

As the blade pierced his back, blood poured from his mouth his and he collapsed. I kicked the fallen guy’s head and checked Meria. She was hacking at the scruff of the cultist’s neck in a mounted position. As a result, three people were surely killed, and only one was left. The raid was a great success.

The excitement of the battle filled his chest.

“Cheukhak!!!”

—-Just when I thought so, Copson’s scream broke out.

Could it be that it happened? I don’t know what hurt him, but Copson fell backwards. I screamed Cloudy’s name in a fit of panic.

“Cloudy!”

Responding to the call, Cloudy rushed at the cultist who deflected Copson with his arms outstretched. It was great speed. The curved sword in her hands emitted a pure white flash as it was illuminated by the flames of the altar.

—Pavat!

Like a wolf running downhill, Cloudy swung his sword at the cultist’s neck. It was a fierce blow that cut lives without any kind of mercy.

ㅡShusyuk!

At that moment, the figure of the cultist disappeared.

“B-Blink!”

Horror erupted from my mouth.

Cloudy’s sword cut through the air. It was Blink, a short-range teleport-type magic that high-level wizards use at the moment of emergency escape! Remember! Judging from the fact that Blink was used without a chant, he was a high-level wizard!

—-Shoo!

The disappeared cultist’s figure reappeared near the altar.

“Jyao! HaDa! SyaruMee!”

Fully transformed into combat stance, he raised his wand and shouted loudly. It happened very quickly.

“Cheet!”

However, those tricks didn’t work against Cloudy. Immediately kicking off the ground and turning into orbit, Cloudy used Blink to chase the cultist who escaped. Not losing any of her speed despite her sudden change of direction, she launched her second attack in an instant.

ㅡ Chaeyoung!

“Hey, what is that horo bastard!”

Her moment her went black and her translucent colored shield her appeared, deflecting her Cloudy’s attack her and deflecting her her. A swear word burst out of her astonished mouth. Her straight back ran out to support her.

ㅡPay!

But Cloudy was a seasoned warrior. Bounced up to her wall her, she spurred the wall completely this time and was shot out again. The two blades of the curved sword scattered as if they were shimmering. The image of the object could not keep up with the speed.

ㅡShusyuk!

However, that transcendent blow cut through the air again. The figure of the cultist had disappeared. It was Blink. Two blinks and one shield. With the use of those appropriate techniques, he perfectly evaded the attack of Cloudy, an expert in murder.

Wizard, this was the magician’s power.

“It’s a tricky opponent… Ah?!”

It was then that she straightened her stance and raised her sword to run once more.

ㅡJueeeee
ㅡJaehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㅡJeezeeeee

Gargoyles poured out of the holes in the ceiling! Those dark colonies rushed towards Cloudy like a dark fog.

“Cut! Wizard!”

Claudy, who collided with the gargoyles, shouted. Without even time to answer, I ran towards the cultist. He used Blink once more, this time sticking to the wall with the pattern engraved on it.

“Meria! That baby!”

As I ran, I called out Meria’s name to her. Having already finished killing her, she sprinted with me at my call.

Word! Let’s run! I don’t know what happened to the Copson kid.

ㅡFire up!

As she ran away with Meria, a familiar dark fireball flew. It’s curse magic! Surprisingly, the fireball seemed to be aiming at Meria, and it was flying towards her.

“Haap!!”

Placing her in front of her, she was not at all frightened by it, but rather, as if about to collide with him, she moved forward in a straight line.

Suddenly, an ominous thought passed through my mind.

After memorizing Blink and the shield spell, he dared to cast magic at Meria holding the shield? Could it be that a shield or something like that is useless attack magic?

“—-Don’t block it, avoid it, you bastard!”

Thinking that far, I twisted her body and attacked Meria. I don’t know what it was, but it seemed like it wouldn’t end with the shield exploding if hit with a direct blow.

“Kyaaak!”

I tangled with Meria and rolled on her floor her. The amount of impact was considerable as it ran quickly. Her shield flew through the air, followed by a loud explosion behind us.

ㅡPerfume!!

The curse magic that flew into Meria exploded.
“Thank you,” She said in a blank voice.

“Thank you.”

It wasn’t curse magic. It was just a simple attack magic. Judging from the tremendous power of the explosion, even if Meria blocked it with her shield her, the result of her upper body her being blown away seemed inevitable. Avoiding without blocking was the right choice.

“That bitch! There are things to hit people and things not to hit people!”

I was astonished at that power.
We stood up straight away and confronted the cultists who had grown in spirit.

“GuHuHuHu…”

With a wicked laugh, he held out his wand to us. The chanted darkness once again created black flames. The incomprehensible darkness of the abyss gathered at the head of the wand, forming a sphere and shooting at us.

ㅡHurt!

“Left and right!”
“Ah Okay!”

At my signal, Meria and I each evaded it to the left and right. An explosion sounded from behind, and as a second signal, we charged him from both wings. Judging from the speed of the casting, I thought I would have a good chance if I sprinted here.

“Now gooooo!!!!”

After shouting, I swung his sword wide with the intention of splitting him apart.

I was worried about the shield, but if I get thrown out by it, Meria who came after me will attack. That’s what it means when two people attack one. Absolute advantage. We don’t know if it’s a long distance, but we win in close combat.

“—-You motherless bastard!”

The blade of the bastard sword reflected the flames of the altar and dug into his shoulder. It was an all-out diagonal cut that contained my original muscular strength itself.

ㅡQuaang!

“Annit?!”

With rough metal,
—-The attack was blocked.

At that moment, the cultist who threw the wand took out a dagger from his bosom. He defended my attack skillfully. My sword was blocked by the dagger’s cross guard and trembled.

“Ciao!”
“Uh, huh?!”

He deflected my sword and immediately counterattacked me.

Embarrassed, I removed my sword and concentrated on defending against the attack. This bastard…Is a master! Despite the poor reach of his short dagger, he skillfully penetrated the gap between my bastard sword and put pressure on me.

ㅡ Chaeyoung!
ㅡ Chaeyoung!

“Heuk!”

The vacancy came and went.

“Meriaaaaa!!! Save me!!!”

The attack was so reckless that I let out a scream. You say I’m being pushed by swordsmanship? I took a backward step, focused only on defense, at the spirited dagger technique that made the blade look as if it had been split in two.

If this bastard had been holding a one-handed sword rather than a dagger, he would have run away long ago! My heart was beating like it would explode.

“Ayy!!”

At the desperate moment when the blade was about to pierce my forehead, Meria’s attack saved my life. Meria’s sword swung wide, forcing him to stop attacking and evade.

“Heo-euk… Heo-euk…!”

As a result, the situation is again two-to-one. Since there was no wand as a medium, it seemed difficult for him to use magic again. The magic stored in the memorize would also have been beaten three times.

“Shhh! Sshh!”

As we were catching our breath, a cultist with a dagger threatened us with a snake-like sound.

“Barbarian!!! Are you okay!!!!”

What broke the silence was the sound of Copson asking us how we were doing. He appeared with Meria’s shield and stood in front of us.

“What, you bastard! Why are you here now!”
“I remember hitting that fucking cultist over the head with a wand!”

It seemed that he fainted for a moment and then woke up. A trickle of blood was running down his forehead.

What about Cloudy? He glanced back and saw that he was raging against the rushing gargoyles. It’s hard for him to count on her help her. No, rather we had to finish it while she was dealing with her gargoyles of her.

“Bring the three friendships together!!!!”

I screamed hysterically.
I have colleagues who I believe in and who also believe in me!

Having regained numerical superiority, an unbelievably fierce fighting spirit began to rise within me!

That’s it! That’s it!

Kim Katt, who only fights to win unconditionally!

As long as the head count was filled, there was nothing to fear from me!

“I will punish the wicked ten bastards!!!!!”

No matter who said it first, we ran into the guy who was driven into the wall. When the three of them ran at once, he was astonished. Even if he was a master of knives, there was nothing he could do against the gunmen charging from three directions.

“Look for it, you bastard bastard!!!!!!”
