Final March (6)

A wilderness covered in red fog.

A huge sandstorm was raging around the huge castle.

Numerous arrows flying from the sky and a barrage of stones from the Harpies.

The spear knife and sharp claws collided, and fresh blood was sprayed everywhere.

“It’s Lizardman in the back!”

“There’s a golem and an orc in front!”

The knights wielded their weapons with all their might and advanced against the monsters.

Thanks to the healing from healing magicians including Celica, I was able to quickly get rid of minor injuries.

“Watch out for Lamia! There is poison at the tip of the spear!”

“Wind magic ahead! There is a wizard!”

Of course, it was not possible to ward off all attacks.

The Demon King’s army was also counterattacking in numerous ways in preparation for healing.

“Tyria! Serica! Don’t get behind me! Kayla takes charge of the rear!”

“Yes! Okay!”

My colleagues responded to my orders by moving in perfect order.

As Serika continued praying, divine light began to spread.

When Tyria let go of the bowstring, numerous arrows hit the monsters’ heads.

Although countless magic circles were cast in the hot battlefield.

“My lord! I will take charge!”

Immediately, Kayla’s magic circle began to burn hotly and an angry flame bloomed.

The magic circles spread out high in the sky were burned one after another.

And a huge ice spear crossing between them.

Every time the trajectory passed, it froze the surrounding area with frost.

Ice armor made by infusing magical energy into the entire body.

The wolf ran up and bared its teeth and tried to bite him, but his mouth immediately froze.

When he hit the shield directly at the top of his head, his head was shattered and he died.

At the same time, I turned my attention to the enemy charging from the right.

Lamia attacks, wielding a long drip spearing with poison.

He dug into his arms, dodged the spear, and drove the ice into his abdomen.

A corpse whose body freezes rapidly.

When they saw that, fear began to appear in the monsters’ pupils.

While the devil’s army was losing its momentum, lightning struck the center of the battlefield.

A speed that you can barely follow with your eyes. The monster was slaughtered, leaving an afterimage like a flash of light.

The moment Erina passed by, she couldn’t react properly and her head was cut off.

I barely felt the presence and swung the weapon, but it only cut through the air.

“Captain! “It’s a pack of wolves!”

“Calm down! “Don’t scatter, come together!”

If you look at the momentum alone, it seems like it has an overwhelming advantage, but in reality, it wasn’t so.

It was difficult to handle all the endless crowds of monsters.

That’s why we continued to advance endlessly towards the Demon King’s Castle.

I had to somehow reach the entrance of the Demon King’s Castle to face the Demon King.

“Erina! We have to clear a path to the main gate of the Demon King’s Castle!”

“I know!”

Erina quickly returned to my side and straightened her long sword.

At that moment, the atmosphere froze with a huge murderous feeling.

The overwhelming energy spread to the point that even we, the allies, had goosebumps all over our bodies.

A group of monsters instinctively trying to run away. But it’s already too late.

As soon as Erina’s long sword cut through the air, an electric storm broke out and thunder rumbled.

“…I don’t know if it’s really a person.”

Even Max, who was concentrating on the battle, muttered to himself.

My colleagues and I thought so because it was a sight we saw often, but it was a natural reaction if we saw it for the first time.

However, despite the lightning storm, the number of monsters did not decrease at all.

Enemies came down endlessly beyond the Andrei Snow Mountain.

It’s literally crowded. All the monsters in the demon world rushed towards us.

The Templars’ momentum did not subside, but time was not on our side.

The devil’s castle gets closer as you slowly advance.

As we got closer to the magnificent exterior, we could see it more clearly.

A bridge built on a huge pier. Numerous demons were camped and waiting.

As we reached the bridge, fighting through the monsters attacking us from all directions, numerous piles of stones began to fall.

“There’s a griffon in the air! There’s a devil riding on the griffin!”

“Shit! “Where did it come from?”

As a monster in the shape of an eagle flew into the sky and threw stones, the display began to disturb.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, Celica held onto my back and shouted.

“Seohyun! Please carry me!”

I didn’t know what she was going to do, but I trusted Celica’s judgment.

As soon as I allowed her to get on my back, she quickly got on my back.

Immediately, he closed to my back and held on tightly to the staff and recited a prayer.

“Seohyun…! I will definitely protect you!”

Then, a hot heat rose along with brilliance.

A brilliant flash of light began to fall from the red-stained sky.

A swarm of light that even the terrible fog of the demonic world cannot block.

It was a beautiful and sacred sight for me, but not for the enemy.

“Keeeeek…!”

A griffon suddenly falls from the sky.

The body pierced by the beam of light was charred and blood was flowing out.

As soon as he fell to the ground, an ice spear was immediately thrown out, suffocating him.

Flying monsters such as gryphons and harpies were helpless.

Tyria did not miss the opportunity and fired arrows one after another, hitting his head.

“Cerica. “Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Ha… Ha… Yes… “

Celica is out of breath with a very tired voice.

Of course, a miracle could not occur without any cost.

Perhaps because a considerable amount of mental power had been consumed, the healing light hovering around became even fainter.

“Max! We have to hurry and break through the main gate!”

“I know! But monsters are constantly coming down from the snowy mountain!”

I have defeated countless monsters so far, but there was no luck.

The number of monsters coming down from Andrei’s snowy mountain continued to increase.

‘It can’t be helped.’

A similar situation occurred in the first round.

In order to conquer the Demon King’s Castle, the knights needed to deal with external enemies.

And Erina, Tyria, and Celica. Only three people will invade the Demon King’s Castle and defeat the Demon King.

It’s probably an event in the game, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t mean anything.

“Max! We are entering the Demon King’s Castle! Please take care of the remaining enemies!”

“What…? “Nonsense…!”

“Captain! “There’s a pack of wolves to the right!”

Before he could finish speaking, Max continued the fight, swinging his sword.

When we finally reached the front gate, the monsters confronted us at the border of the huge bridge.

The road to the Demon King’s Castle has been opened, but if you’re not careful, you could be surrounded on the bridge.

Then Eric, who was watching from the side, made a quick decision.

“Guard the entrance to the bridge! If we get surrounded here, it’s the end!”

If monsters enter the Devil’s Castle, the building will be surrounded.

To prevent the worst situation, the monster had to be blocked at the entrance.

A huge iron gate appears as you reach the end of the bridge.

The front door was tightly locked, but it wasn’t much of a problem.

“Erina. Let’s break down the door.”

“Yes. I understand.”

When Erina pointed her long sword at the front door, a huge crack appeared.

Soon after, I created a huge hammer and swung it, and the main gate collapsed.

The inside is a dark space without any light.

It was quiet, like an abandoned house that had been abandoned for a long time.

Unlike the commotion outside due to the battle, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the inside of the Demon King’s Castle.

The interior is so dark that you can’t see clearly.

Finally, we were able to reach the final destination of the war. =

“Everyone guard the entrance. To prevent monsters from invading.”

“This is such a reckless operation! If we defeat all the monsters like this… !”

“Eileen! There is no time to plan a strategy now!”

“But… !”

There was also talk among the knight commanders.

Eileen tried to follow me into the castle, but Gilbert blocked her.

Paul was concentrating on dealing with the monster without even having time to think.

And I took a step without hesitation.

As my colleagues followed me, Max clicked his tongue and spoke.

“…I get it. Instead, if you think it’s dangerous, come out right away. Because we will be protecting it.”

“Okay. Thank you. “Please.”

Max probably knows too. I will never just come back.

I believe that the current number of people will be able to withstand the monster’s offensive for at least a day.

“Kayla. “Can you illuminate the inside?”

“Yes. I understand.”

When Kayla drew a magic circle, the flames spread and the surrounding area began to shine brightly.

At the same time, a familiar sight came into view.

As expected, the inside of the Demon Castle didn’t change at all from my memories.

Could it be that the structure or internal gimmick has changed?

I was worried, but at least it seemed like I wouldn’t have to get lost.

“Erina. “Never fall.”

“Yes. I will definitely protect you.”

Erina spoke in a calm voice and took a step forward without hesitation.

I entered the inside of the Demon King’s Castle, keeping a close eye on her as she still showed no significant action.
