NOVEL NEXT chapter 246
246 – Declaration of War (2)
It took an instant to capture the enemy Lycans.
The charge of the barathens rushing like a cloud and the rapid movement of our raid.
The speed was so great that even when the enemies noticed us and started to run away, we managed to step on our tail.
-Lark! No more running away!
– sh*t! Line up your ranks! Kill them and run away again!
The voices of Clark’s camp Lycans are heard from far away through [Language].
This meant that the relationship between our unit and the enemy unit had become that close.
And then, as if they had been waiting for it, a fierce cry resounded right away.
——–!!
Aww-!!
The ‘howling’ of the awakened Lycan warrior broke out.
This was like a signal that the battle had begun.
[Clark’s lycan ‘Lark”s ‘blue force howling’ resonates. Within the range of hearing the howling, the target’s muscle strength is temporarily significantly reduced!]
[The special power of the rune of ‘Bright Landscape’ keeps the target’s clear mind. It is not shaken by any curses or abnormal conditions.]
Unlike the previous Duke, the howling of the Lycan this time was the kind of howling that controls the ‘muscular strength’.
I was still immune thanks to [Myeonggyeongjisu], But judging from the distorted expressions of the members who came with me, it seems that I have quite strong control.
Besides, Lycan and Jurgen’s werewolves’ stats themselves are focused on strengthening the body, so the loss of muscle strength was a fatal condition.
But….
Aww-!!
[The ‘turquoise buff howling’ of the Baraten faction ‘Shilleten’ resonates. The speed of the designated target within the range of hearing the howling is temporarily greatly increased!]
Awakened Lycan warriors were not only in the opposing faction.
Shilleten, our warrior, also howled.
Interestingly, the type of howling this time is ‘buff howling’.
Unlike howling that Duke or Lark possessed, it was a skill that granted buffs to allies.
Thanks to that, we lost a lot of strength, but our speed increased dramatically and we rushed at the enemies.
I did not fall behind and immediately gave orders to the crew.
“The support personnel intercept the opposing faction’s Lycans as much as possible! We’ll leave the hunt for Jurgen to the werewolves on our side. Warriors and Assassins, please escort the support personnel rather than taking the lead!”
“Yes!”
“Okay!”
It is a large-scale battle with almost 250 people when the number of opponents and us are combined, but in the end, it is the small number of strong armed forces that lead the center of the battle.
Jurgen hunting was left to the Jurgens on this side as well, and we had to intercept the opponent’s core forces, Lycans and Awakened Lycans, as much as possible.
Fortunately, the support members of Team B I brought were Kang Joo-yeon, Kim Chae-eun, Moon Ga-eun, and Akiba… Quite familiar members.
Most of them are my sweethearts, but they are also undisputed fighters in the raid anyway.
They will probably be of great help at the crucial moment.
“Everyone, gun attack!!”
I shouted as I ran forward using the [World’s Best Racehorse].
Even though I have already placed all orders…
There is one reason why I dare to shout like this.
‘Indigo Force Howling.’
To use the ‘howling’ I also got as a reward from the last battle.
Generally, howling is the cry of a wolf, but since I acquired this power as a human, I can activate the skill just by shouting in moderation.
[Indigo Force Howling]’S ability is to temporarily control the magical power of a designated target.
A skill that debuffs enemy werewolves.
I could see that the enemies were taken aback by my sudden howl.
‘The Call of the Contract.’
I didn’t slow down my spurt.
Jumping toward the sky in the same posture as when running toward enemies.
And summon Tyrbond.
Kyaooooo-!!
There was no pause in our running.
Just like sports players running and getting on a balloon, I also smoothly got on Tyrbond, and he immediately received the ‘rapid riding’ effect of [The Best Racehorse in the World] And flew at full speed.
The target is Rak, the awakened Lycan.
The type of attack is, of course, stabbing.
‘Arm replacement surgery, accelerator piercing.’
Now, when launching a preemptive attack, use [Axel Piercing], Which is disappointing if not used.
[Wyvern Spear] Held in one hand.
A Tyrbond that flies at the enemy without hesitation.
Our ‘Lance Charge’ was now becoming a lethal technique.
By the way….
-Master!!
The formation of the Laycans, which were loosely spread out, suddenly changes.
After gathering in a circle around the awakened Lycan warrior ‘Lark’, about 20 Jurgens fill the front.
For humans, it is a kind of humane tactic.
I couldn’t stand the speed and power of [Axel Piercing] With ‘avoidance’, so I tried to deal with it with ‘blocking’.
And that’s like.
This form of our attack…
It was a move that seemed to have been known in advance.
‘How?’
Duke, Lycan, and Jurgen, who were attacked first, were all hunted down.
There must be no werewolves who had experienced combat at that time, so how could such a defensive strategy come about?
There was no time to settle the question.
The anti-personnel defense using Jurgen and Lycan worked well.
Our attack was immediately blocked.
The [Accel Piercing] Is so powerful that most of the Jurgens who stood in their way were put to death, and some even died instantly…
The Awakened Lycan Lark, which I was aiming for, was not even scratched.
Besides, Tyrbond and I were stuck in the enemy’s formation, so we couldn’t move after the charge.
It is completely surrounded.
‘Damn it… Tyrbond, go in.’
– Then the owner becomes dangerous.
‘I’ll try my best. Go inside.’
-Okay.
For now, send Tyrbond back.
[Summon]’S [Call of Contract] Is also a skill with a very long cooldown, so returning the summoned contractor literally means leaving the battlefield.
But I can’t help it.
If I fought alongside Tyrbond in this state, I could be in danger.
-Kill those chewable humans first! Duke’s enemy!
-Yes!!
-Kill Humans! Duke’s enemy!
-Stupid Jurgens! Move fast!
And the words heard through [Language].
As expected, they knew I was the one who killed Duke.
It seemed that there was a scout nearby, or that the result of the battle at the time was known to the Calak camp through their own special communication method.
‘It’s properly twisted.’
A lance charge that uses Tyrbond’s mobility to break the opponent’s formation.
I used it as a preemptive attack without hesitation because it was a combo that I had been using as my main focus for a long time, but I ran into a crisis when the opponent came out as a method of giving flesh and taking bones.
And my charge speed was faster than any warrior in Barathen.
In other words, I am now alone in the middle of Calak’s camp.
—–!!
Aww-!!
Quick battle.
A dozen Jurgens rush at me at the same time, as if they were trying to kill me at the right moment.
‘But it’s still worth doing.’
It’s still worth doing.
The first reason is that the enemy’s magical power is controlled to some extent thanks to [Indigo Force Howling], And the second reason is that the opponent is not paying attention.
If the opposing awakening warrior Lark and the other Lycans rush at the same time with all their might, I really have to do my best to escape.
Because a cooperative battle between an S-rank monster and an A-rank top monster can be dangerous even if you possess an S-rank.
But now, the Jurgens attack first, followed by the Lycans.
It means you’re not paying attention.
Maybe I analyzed my charge and [Axel Piercing], But I didn’t seem to understand the other abilities that I didn’t show in the last battle.
‘Yonginhwa.’
I didn’t miss the opportunity.
Use the [Yonginhwa] Skill right away and pump your stats.
And [Berser] Is saved for the next battle.
Now I have Barathen warriors and raid members behind me as support, so I only need to buy time, and since these skills have long cooldowns, it was important to distribute and use them.
‘Arm replacement art.’
The spear is replaced, and the [Sword of the Penitent] Is heard in the hand.
I don’t need a shield.
If you carry a shield in a melee or siege situation like now, the side without a shield will be more lax.
Only dodge and spill.
That was enough for me to defend myself.
“Flow in the torrent.”
The best defense you can do in a siege situation.
The [Jin Flowing Bow Sword] Spreads out from the tip of my sword.
The stream of water that flowed lightly became a huge sphere of water and wrapped around me, and soon became dozens of slashes and attacked Jurgen and the Lycans.
Pat-Pavabat-!!
——!!
Aw, woo-?!
Anyway, the [True Flowing Sword] Is a defense skill.
It was able to block the sudden enemy attack and counterattack, but it was not powerful enough to instantly kill everyone.
Anyway, a final blow is needed to finish them off.
And as soon as the [True Flowing Sword] Finished, I put a large amount of mana into the sword, and I was already ready for the next attack.
[Thunderbolt, spreading current! Your proficiency, which has been familiar with brainstorming for a long time, shines through. Your understanding of runes increases rapidly.]
[The level of the ‘Infiltrating Brain Ki’ rune has risen.]
[Acquire 1 each of Magical Power and Lightning Resistance with the tendency of the rune.]
[Acquire ‘Chain Lightning’, a derivative skill of the ‘Penetrating Brain Ki’ rune.]
[Penetrating brain energy] Has been active as my magic rune for a long time.
A derived skill that this guy acquired while reaching level 10.
It was the manifestation of [Chain Lightning].
Parts- Parts-
Chitsutsutsutsu-!!
Jurgens whose bodies were soaked in water in the aftermath of the [Jin Flowing Bow Sword].
And the intense magic power of lightning contained within my sword.
Once exploded, Ride a sword into the water.
Water to water, and water to water.
Lightning spreads and spreads…
I reached out to all the Jurgens around Gearko.
One slash with the [Jin Flowing Bow Sword].
At this, [Chain Lightning] Exploded once.
And as a bonus, even the special effect of [Silver Moonlight], A poison for Lycan and Jurgen.
As powerful magic attacks were applied in a wide area in an instant, the Jurgens were unable to withstand them and collapsed.
Twelve Jurgens, Class A monsters, all died instantly.
-La, Lark. All Jurgens….
-What is this… !!
The unbelievable sight unfolded in an instant…
The Lycans of Calak’s camp stopped in a moment of panic.
And.
“Warriors of Barathen! Go forward!”
“Protect your human companions!!”
“Let’s kill all the damn Kalaks!”
“Pour all the secondary magic around the engineering captain! You can’t hurt a single hair!”
Barathen’s troops rushing to help me.
And the rear support of the raid ready.
If you buy time, the crisis will be overcome.
Now it was time to hunt the lycans.
