Chapter 265 – 265. The Otherworld Summoner’s First Special Move (7)
– One –
“You just have to be careful with the poison!”
“There are a lot of Paladins who can use healing spells! The healers’ stamina and holy power are overflowing! Don’t be afraid of getting injured!”
“Ranged attacks will be countered by wizards and shamans! If you endure one turn, the enemy’s attack will not continue! Hold on! Stay alive! Then we will return victorious!”
Commanders encourage soldiers.
Due to the huge wooden barrier that suddenly appeared, all the soldiers were intimidated.
They were recalling the nightmares of the tree monster that had been haunting them for the past few weeks.
Is it because you noticed it?
[That’s witchcraft! It’s not like a tree monster!]
A sorcerer uses voice amplification magic to address the entire army.
[That’s nothing more than human tricks after all!]
Ooh, wow, wow!
Aaaaa!
The morale of the soldiers rises.
The unknown always breeds fear.
In other words, when you remove the unknown, fear disappears.
It’s simple.
[Are you afraid?]
The seasoned wizard hadn’t finished his speech yet.
Aaaaa!
Soldiers write evil.
[Don’t be afraid. If such a large-scale sorcery was performed, the enemy sorcerer would be in a dying state, or at least in a state of exhaustion!]
Whoaaaaa!
Aaaaa!
[There is no follow-up attack! Run in! Set fire to it and dig it up! We will find out the exact location where the enemy is hiding!]
Boo, boo woo woo!
The horn sounds.
It’s a sign of realism.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Soldiers run towards the wooden barrier.
The magician who gave the speech turned around and looked at the commander.
He nods.
Sorcerers do not respond and enter the group chant.
They were preparing a large-scale magic.
Whoa oh oh oh
The wind engulfs the wizards.
Let the flow of mana occur, followed by the flow of air.
Sorcerers sing.
They also start mass chanting.
Shiver.
But none of them believed the wizard’s speech.
As far as I know, it is visible.
That’s why, when they saw the miracle of just three people creating a wooden wall in an instant without any prior preparation, they were convinced that it was not caused by witchcraft.
But this is an army.
In a wartime situation, statements that contradict the views of the organization are never tolerated.
It is such a place.
Woo woo woo!
Fireballs rose above the wizards’ heads.
It wasn’t one
Woo-wook, Woo-wook!
Whoops, whoops, whoops!
In every corner of the scattered imperial army, the mage troops emerged one by one wherever they were located.
There were well over 50 fireballs.
[Immediately step back 30 steps!]
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The troops knocking on the wooden barrier with their own weapons retreat at once.
The walls were etched with numerous scratches.
All soldiers stare at the wooden barrier with eyes full of joy.
It was then.
Shureuk, shureureuk!
Chow chow, chow aaaaagh!
Tentacle-like stems sprout from the barrier of the tree.
“Oh, no!”
“Eject immediately! Fire!”
The commanders are white and screaming.
They recalled an incident in a raid a few weeks earlier, when a tree monster rammed a plant stem into a fireball during a mass chant, resulting in a backflow of mana.
Numerous wizards and soldiers were caught up in the backflow of mana and unfinished magic and exploded, and all the wizards who barely escaped the direct influence of the explosion were crippled.
It was a terrible event that should never happen again.
Sorcerers grit their teeth.
Crying!
Queeeee
Splat, squeak!
Rumble.
Dump.
Many of the wizards vomit blood and collapse.
However, they almost stabilized the magic before the plant stems pierced the fireballs.
“Now, if you just finish it,”
At that very moment,
Push shot.
Shush, shush shush shush!
“Uh…?”
Bolts fly from beyond the wooden barrier.
It wasn’t a single shot.
Dozens of bolts flew above the heads of the troops who were chanting fireball magic while encircling the barrier.
Those are,
Fufufufufufufufu!
Fuhuaaak!
All at once penetrated the center of the fireball.
Most of the flesh was burned before reaching the center of the fireball’s erupting heat,
Slurp.
Slurp, slurp.
Fu hook.
The metal head of the bolt went through the center.
“Ah, ah, ah, no,”
Kuhwaaaaa
Fuhuaaaaa!
Whoops, whoops!
Kwakwang!
Woo woo woo woo woo!
It succeeded in causing a reverse flow of mana.
“Aaaaagh!
Chi-jik, chi-i-i-i-ik!
The soldier screams as he clutches his burning face.
However, the flame containing mana burns even his palms.
“Live, live, live…”
Dump.
The wizard collapses, spitting out fragments of intestines.
Be desperate
Due to the runaway mana, it looked as if all of his internal organs had been crumbled.
They were all wizards who were in charge of the core of collective chanting magic.
But,
“Kuruk, Queueeeeek…!”
Squeeze, squeak.
Most of the wizards with relatively low skills survived.
Thanks to the sudden stabilization work right before the fireball was ejected, the connection between the magic circle being chanted and the mana circle in their bodies was cut off early.
As a result, the reaction they received was minimal.
But that did not guarantee their survival.
Fire, fire.
Whoop whoop whoop!
It was because the fireball exploded before it was even launched, spewing flames in all directions.
They had to desperately get out of there to avoid being burned to death by the mana-laden flames.
However, their physical condition was not in a situation like that.
They,
Fire, fire, fire!
Chiyiyi profit!
“Geuh uh uh!”
“It’s hot, it’s hot!”
While lighting fire all over her body, she was screaming and struggling desperately.
They quickly turned into well-cooked meat.
It was because the firepower emitted by the magical fireball was enough.
“Damn…!”
The commander gritted his teeth.
Turn your head.
The company he belonged to suffered no significant damage.
This is because the bolts fired from inside the barrier luckily missed.
However, the wizards in the company he commanded were extremely intimidated by the sight of his comrades exploding or dying.
“What are you doing! Before the follow-up hits, fire quickly!”
“Yes, old…!”
One of the wizards answers.
The wizard trembled and turned the mana inside his body once.
Woo woo woo woo!
Whoops!
Fortunately, it succeeds in launching a fireball.
The fireball slowly moves toward the barrier.
Just as the wizards were about to cheer,
“Damn it…!”
The commander spat out swear words with a blue face.
“100 million…!”
The wizards opened their eyes and let out suppressed moans.
Perong!
Kuhwaaaaa
Due to the tree trunk approaching right in front of them, the fireball exploded right above their heads.
Because of that, the brief curses and suppressed moans they spat out became their will.
“Aaaaagh!”
Soldiers scream
Commanders swallow their anger.
Just then,
Aaaaa!
Kuhwaaaaa!
Roaring!
Only one fireball succeeds in reaching the wooden barrier.
Aaaaagh!
Reached!
Damn you freaking freaks
Soldiers shout as if screaming.
It was because I was convinced that I had finally struck the enemy once.
By the time the fire was properly transferred to the wooden barrier,
[- — — — —– – —-]
Sorcerers sing.
Sing it in chorus that resembles the sound of nature infinitely.
Shamans catch flames spreading across fields or grow flames on wooden barriers.
Fire, fire, fire!
Tak, tat tat!
The moisture in the trees bursts out, and the fire on the wall spreads widely.
A living tree becomes firewood in an instant.
Firewood becomes charcoal,
Tight.
Roaring!
Whoops!
Come crashing down.
Let’s kill them all!
Empire, live forever!
Aaaaa!
Soldiers roar.
The soldiers were confident of victory.
“Uh, what is that…?”
Shureuk, shureureuk!
But that was a hasty judgment.
Trees back down.
Discard the wood that has spread the flames.
There is nothing more to burn, and the fire gradually fades.
Beyond the flames, a fresh wooden barrier grows.
“No, that’s nonsense…”
A stunned soldier murmurs.
His murmur seemed to represent everyone’s heart.
“I-Ik! I wonder if I’m going to step back like this!”
But they weren’t disappointed.
There were enough troops still alive.
As the commander-in-chief himself stepped forward, he couldn’t back down easily.
Tat tat tat!
A brave soldier runs towards a burning wooden barrier.
He gritted his teeth,
Tup.
Pick up a burning firewood stick.
Whii profit!
Gurgling!
Took.
Toss it down a fresh tree.
Tup!
Whirly Rick!
Gurgling.
Took.
Throws a lit firewood stick again.
“Are you just watching?! Help!”
Then he looks back and shouts.
“I get it!”
Tat tat tat!
Soldiers nearby rushed in.
I throw firewood sticks that have not been put out as if to vent my anger.
Gradually,
Whoops, whoops.
Roaring!
The extinguished fire is revived.
Whoaaaaa!
Be strong, be strong!
The soldiers who were watching from the rear shouted and boosted their morale.
They throw firewood vigorously, sweating, sometimes burning themselves.
“Some more, some more!”
[- — — —- — —–!]
The sorcerer’s song begins again.
Whoaaaaagh!
The fire starts to spread.
But it wasn’t directed at the soldiers.
“Imperial forces always win!”
“We have no enemies!”
The moment everyone was excited,
“You can,”
Whirly Rick!
Tup.
Stuffy!
Plant stems sprout from the crevices of burning trees and grab the limbs of the soldiers throwing firewood sticks.
“Uh, ugh…!”
“Let go of this! Let go!”
The soldiers are terrified.
Whoops, whoops!
Someone wields a firewood in their hand.
Empty, burst.
Sreung!
Shikak, Shiiik!
Someone throws firewood, pulls out a sword from his waist, and swings it.
Chin, chin, chin.
However, the stem showed no signs of being cut.
Neither of them had the right tools to sever the stems,
Shureuk, shureuk, shureureuk!
Whirliririk!
This is because the stems in an instant entangled all their limbs and sealed their movements.
“Sa, save me!”
“Somebody, yup!”
Plant stems soon wrap up to their faces.
Their struggle intensifies.
The moment everyone was lost and just staring at it,
Squeaky.
Plant stalks drag the captured soldiers away,
Tuck, Tup, Tup!
Chiyiyi profit!
Roaring!
Toss it into the flames raised by the shaman.
No, it covered it up.
“Turn it off!”
“Hot, ugh! Ugh!”
Soldiers struggle desperately.
However,
Whoops!
“Ouch!”
“Aww!”
Plant stems tighten their bodies even more.
Wood Deuk!
Ppajik, kkadeudeudeuk!
Their bodies twist
“Khehe…!”
“Kreurreup…!”
“Booweeeeek!”
Something full of moisture pours out of the hole in the body of the soldiers.
Plant stems with sticky bodily fluids,
Whip, Whip, Whip!
He rips off the bodies of the soldiers near the burning tree.
Bodily fluids, blood, and filthy filth are poured onto the flames.
Charreuk, charreureuk!
Chiyiyi profit!
The fire fades a little.
But it’s not enough
However, the plant stem found an appropriate answer to continue its life.
Shureuk, shureuk, shureuk, shureuk!
Plant stems grow while bobbing their heads.
Soldiers and officers look at it with pale faces.
“Do, do, do, run away,”
When a soldier is overcome with fear and is about to shout,
Whirly Rick.
Tup.
“Ouch!”
Before he could finish his words, a plant stem wrapped around his neck.
Chwaaaaa!
Whirik, whiriririk!
Dozens of plant stems stretch out in all directions.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Run away!”
“Lord, I don’t want to die!”
The soldiers panicked and tried to flee.
Whirik, whiririririk!
Tup, Tup, Tup!
Caught on the stem of a plant.
With Imperial soldiers heavily concentrated in the vicinity, the victims the plant stalks would find were all too common around.
Having captured so many soldiers, the plant stem seemed to have found an easier way.
Woodeuk, Wooddeudeuk.
Kwaddeuddeuk!
Pugak!
Breaks the necks of captured soldiers.
The soldiers died without even leaving a proper will.
Choo Woo-wook.
Patter, top, top, top.
The sphincter muscles of the dead soldiers are completely released.
Because of this, filth dripped down the trouser hem of the soldiers.
They were dangling dangling in the air with such ugly faces.
It was like the scene of a mass execution, as you would expect in a traitor’s village.
“Uh, uh, uh…”
Dump.
The barely surviving soldiers looked up at it, crouching down as if their legs were loosened.
Plant stems, as if to show off, display the soldiers who were hanged by hand,
Squeak, squeak.
Carries the corpses towards the burning barrier.
It seemed like an endless funeral procession.
Squeak.
Thud.
Chiyiyi profit!
Roaring!
Throw a corpse into a pit of fire.
It burns.
Slurr, thump.
Chiyiyi profit!
Fire, fire!
Another pitch is thrown.
Even that burns
However,
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.
Kung, kung koo kung.
Thump, thump, thump.
Let’s throw bodies one after another,
Chiyiyi…
Hey hey…
The fire begins to die down.
Plant stems were clever enough to use fire-fighting corpses instead of fire-fighting sand.
Gurgling.
Fishyyyy.
Corpses take away the fire.
It also takes away the hopes of the Imperial Army.
I was in vain.
At that time, from the command post in the rear,
– … There!
Deuk Deuk!
Lieutenant General Draft hears the on-site situation report through the short-range communication magic tool and grinds his teeth.
“… Make the wizards and shamans retreat to the rear.”
“Haona,”
“I intend to repair the damage, reorganize the survivors, and put them back into service.”
“… All right.”
“And for the time being, let’s put the infantry in and knock it out. Looking at the situation, if we judge that the enemy is sufficiently tired, then we’ll put it back into the front line. Got it?”
“Yes!”
This clash left a huge blow to the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Army Command had to feel a chill in their hearts when they realized that the enemy’s strength was beyond their imagination.
– 2 –
Dump.
Urmama falls to the bottom of the wooden basket.
Widely!
Dada dot!
“Damn it!”
Demoshi stopped loading her crossbow nearby and rushed to Urmama’s side.
Demosh embraces Urmama.
Urmama’s complexion was pale blue.
“Greuk, grouk… Ohhhhh…”
Charleuk.
She convulses, regurgitating her gastric juices along with her blood.
The mangled flesh comes out with gastric juices.
“Oh, brother…!
Tat tat tat.
Before she can finish her words, she comes running at Octopoda.
His complexion was also pale.
“For a moment…”
Sreuk, Tup.
Octopoda stretches out his hand and grabs Urmama’s mouth.
Standing with her mouth open, stick your fingers in her.
Tup, Tup.
Swoop.
Carefully palpate her mouth with her fingertips.
A rough section is touched.
Only then did Octopoda’s expression relax.
“It’s okay. It’s not that the internal organs are damaged, it’s a wound caused by biting off the flesh and tongue in her mouth while trying to squeeze her concentration. Show it to Ada and she’ll treat you right away.”
“Ah…”
“The rest are symptoms of motion sickness and mild exhaustion caused by excessive use of this ability, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Oh, brother…”
Demosi looks down at Ur Mama’s face with her tears in her eyes.
But there was no sign of fright on her face.
“Even though Maman worked so hard, Maman couldn’t sit still because she was ashamed to see her face.”
“Of course. Even though you’re the youngest among men and women, you desperately set up a major major. You can’t just let it go, even if it’s unfair. Until others come to help, you have to fight against them unconditionally.”
Democi nodded.
Seruk.
Sararak.
She embraces Octopoda with Urmama.
“I’ll definitely… I’ll definitely hold on…!”
And capture her heart
It still took a while for the rescue team to arrive, but they were not frustrated.
Not yet.
