chapter 218
I see your code (218)
Not all beings from another world look strange. Rather, most of them are close to ordinary appearances. Aren’t all the different races settled on the continent now descended from another world?
But at least for now. In the early days of the invasion, the theory did not hold true. Because I saw only bizarre-looking creatures with no intelligence.
―Ki hee hee hee!
The monsters protruding from the door poked their claws into the labyrinth that was immediately visible, as if they had no question. Then he tilted his head when he saw that there were no scratches.
– Chirik?
At the forefront was an unknown monster with a bizarrely distorted body, but after attacking the wall a few more times, it just headed into the labyrinth.
After all, I would not be able to enjoy the inanimate relativity theory.
So far, as expected… … . The problem was on the other side.
I took my eyes off the crystal ball the wizard had placed in the air and looked forward. Exactly at the top of the door.
—Kiririring.
Creatures that are now capable of flying were popping out there, and apart from their relatively cute cry, they also had a terrible appearance, like a terrestrial monster.
Do I have to say that it was like putting a human face into a pterosaur? Either way, it’s a dream come true.
But the important thing wasn’t that, it was that the maze had no effect on him.
“I heard that the magic circle that interferes with flight has already been completed.”
When I turned around and asked, the wizard scratched the back of his head as if in trouble.
“that is… … It’s definitely been completed, and performance tests have been completed. Even if I didn’t know about dragons, I was able to slam a wyvern to the floor.”
The Wyvern is the strongest of the flying monsters called ogres in the air.
“You seem to be flying too easily for such a thing.”
“… … It’s hard to believe, but it sounds like they all have abilities that far exceed those of the Wyverns.”
“Hmm… … .”
So, when ordering in advance, I told you not to think about efficiency, but to make it with the best performance.
Well, it’s a thing of the past.
In fact, the tower did its job just by being delayed for ten more days.
It’s a flight-obstructing magic circle.
“The knights will take care of those guys. Save your energy.”
“All right.”
I saw the wizard and the priest cancel the spell they had been preparing, and headed forward again.
In fact, I was the general manager, but I was most comfortable with the knights as I did not have the authority to command the horse tower and the priest. It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve been to a friend’s house.
Anyway, when I arrived they had already drawn their swords and were ready to go.
I don’t really need any explanation.
As I silently drew the Black Iron Sword, Klaus, the deputy commander who was the representative, came up to me and asked.
“Wouldn’t it be better to have some escorts on the side of the wizards and priests? There might be some missing ones.”
“I tell you to take care of that. The most important thing is to concentrate the power as much as possible to minimize energy consumption.”
As soon as he answered, he nodded as if he understood.
“Well, for a Vanguard, it looks like a lot of numbers. There is nothing wrong with being careful.”
I shut my mouth for a moment and smiled.
Perhaps the invasion of another world was at a level that even this experienced knight could be mistaken for like that. There’s usually something else to send before the Vanguard.
“They aren’t really a vanguard.”
“yes? If not for the Vanguard, then… … .”
As if in disbelief, Klaus turned his gaze to the flying monsters. At first glance, the number is at least several thousand.
I nodded and pointed my sword at the sky.
“Right. They’re not vanguards, they’re just scouts.”
As if everyone had heard my story, a feeling of astonishment surfaced on the surface in an instant. I looked at them one by one and spoke calmly.
“So, no matter how much you think it’s worth doing, don’t be vigilant. Because it could get hit by the volume and die.”
* * *
As written in the game, the second part of the invasion of the other world is in this order.
Stage 1. The input of mixed species treated like wild beasts in their world. It’s called garbage disposal.
It’s hard to use them anywhere because they’re not intelligent anyway, but since they eat one physical ability, they’re telling you to forget your opponent’s power.
It was a fairly efficient choice, and an incredibly cruel decision.
Mixed species usually attack living things with extreme malice.
It’s not even worth talking about playing with the limbs of the opponent you’ve caught.
If it was like the modern Earth, I would have been baptized with nuclear bombs just because there was a country that raised such things.
But this wasn’t Earth, and the enemies were no match for words.
You just have to be patient and be patient.
―Ahhh!
At that time, the flying-type mixture at the forefront finally arrived near the front line.
The crying sound, which was quite cute, immediately began to change like a scream, and the face that resembled a human took on the shape of a demon.
Scratch!
One of the 2nd graders cut off the guy’s head right away, but another guy took the place straight away.
It was happening all over the place over and over again. Cut, replaced, cut, replaced.
Would it have been reduced by half?
At first, the knights, who were performing their work like oiled machines, gradually began to squeak.
Each one is much weaker than them, but isn’t the standard strange in the first place? This is actually a gathering place for the continent’s strongest people.
They are being cut down like a flying fly now, but when they go outside, they can easily kill five or six ogres by themselves.
Naturally, it takes a lot of effort to process it.
Even so, they may not be able to afford that, but the problem is that they haven’t been able to come to the ground side yet because they have been through the maze.
The vanguard and main force behind it are even more problematic.
It’s already saying that you shouldn’t lose your power.
I slashed one of the guys running at me, then I shouted loudly behind me. It was the direction where Ricardo was waiting.
“Captain! Please alternate between groups 2 and 3 to take on the left and right wing! Until they get enough rest and re-energize!”
“group 1… … in the middle?”
“I will hold out as much as I can!”
Saying so, I pulled half of the nearby knights back. This was the place to go inside and take a break.
It would put more pressure on me, but it didn’t matter much.
Because the spirit power and recovery power are overwhelmingly better than magic power.
Anyway, the moment the knights fell, I immediately used my power to create dozens of black iron swords.
Although the number of times it can be used per day is set, in other words, it is said that it is a waste of money.
Anyway, the black iron swords he made steadily filled the vacancy of the missing knights. Of course, the attack power is incomparable, but now is the time when it is more important to endure than that.
Suga!
-Keek!
When the last remaining flying hybrid species died, the knights who barely breathed a sigh of relief sat down on the floor to rest, wiping their sweat.
He must have been in the mood to recover quickly until the next battle.
But they had forgotten that it was still too early to be relieved.
About 8 hours to destroy all the flying hybrids that were constantly replenished.
If you are fast and have good sense, it is time to slowly pass the maze.
-Kiaah!
Perhaps such a prediction was not wrong, just at the same time, they appeared one by one at the entrance.
It was the start of the second leg that did not give a moment of rest.
* * *
Ground hybrids were more demanding than flying types. The movement itself was quite predictable, but the energy and physical strength it had was far superior to those of them.
Thanks to this, the mental fatigue was much less, but the energy itself had to be consumed more.
“Whew… … Whoops… … .”
Tired of the battle that had been going on for nearly twenty hours, the knights continued to breathe.
No matter how rare they are, it’s only natural that they’ve never fought without a break like this.
And the same goes for the priests who encouraged the wizards and knights who had been pouring attack magic from before.
I still have more than half left, and I’m already half exhausted.
In the case of the top level, they are still alive, but they don’t have 4 limbs, so it doesn’t mean much.
I also have to write it slowly… … ?
I thought for a moment, then nodded to myself.
Now the timing isn’t bad either. Anyway, this is the point I originally expected.
“Sir Klaus.”
Snack!
“Yes!”
Deputy Commander Klaus replied loudly, cutting off one of the mixed breeds that rushed to him. I continued talking while dealing with one more horse.
“I think I need to leave for a while. Will the rest of you be able to handle it?”
“If you can’t, you should! You haven’t been able to take a break by yourself until now!”
He seems to think that I am going to rest.
It wasn’t like that, but there’s no reason to correct it.
I thanked him for a moment, then headed near the stairs I used to go down. And immediately approached the magic circle hidden behind.
This, too, was prepared by the King of Liberation.
A masterpiece that he completed by squeezing his last abilities. In a way, it can be said that it is like the last legacy.
“… … .”
It’s been like that up until now, but I’ll have to keep cursing him inwardly from now on. Anyway, there are many things that he has benefited from this invasion.
With that in mind, I activated the magic circle without hesitation.
At that moment, a huge high-frequency sound filled the basement.
Beeping-.
A roar that could cause internal injuries just by hearing it for those who lacked aptitude.
At the same time, the corresponding mixed species threw themselves away and suffered.
You wouldn’t even know what was going on, but the knights and wizards did not miss the opportunity and hurled their attacks.
Since they were almost like scarecrows, their catching speed and efficiency began to rise incomparably with the previous ones.
But it wasn’t enough to kill them all. There are some guys who have already made up their minds.
There was no problem though.
Anyway, that’s an additional effect of the magic circle… … Or because it was just a side effect.
“uh? This… … .”
Perhaps at that moment, one of the knights picked up something and widened his eyes, perhaps noticing the change.
“Is it a magic stone? Why is this here… … .”
“What? Look where.”
“I have nothing to show you. There are magic stones scattered around right now.”
“… … Is it real? That’s weird. Obviously, it had never happened before.”
They murmured strangely, and then with hopeful eyes, they began to look at the place where the mixed species had fallen.
You must have noticed that the place where the Manastone is and where the mixed species fell is the same.
They were astonished even with their exhausted bodies and dropped the magic stone they were holding.
It was an unimaginable mistake made by such veterans.
But it is so surprising.
Manastones have only come out of the ground so far.
Besides, it’s actually not just a magic stone. It’s almost like a new energy source that is more effective than that.
I grinned and picked up a nearby magic stone and rolled it around.
okay.
The last move the Liberation King had prepared was to convert the dead creatures here underground into other fuels.
