Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 184

Sisanhyeolhae (2)
Kugugugu……
Hundreds of years old spiers are screaming.
The walls and pillars that had been in place for a long time collapsed like sand castles built on the beach.
Debris pouring towards the ground.
An emergency technique for emergencies was activated and the debris that fell like a meteor shower was caught.
The emergency spell pushed the fortress itself back up into the sky, but in other words, all it did was push it up into the sky.
It is not enough to prevent the collapse that has already begun.
The sky fortress was slowly rising into the sky while collapsing in real time.
“Oh my God….”
the unknown paladin said with a mesmerized expression.
Dallen listened to the muttering and collected the blood-mixed spit and spat it out. It was not his own blood, but the blood of the demon he had just killed.
Hwareuk. When I snap my fingers, a flame of flame blooms from my fingertips.
Dallen said as he burned the demon’s body cut in half.
“I wondered where the Great Devil was hiding, and he was targeting there. “I’ll be back soon.”
“…I will go with you too.”
“You know that’s not possible.”
Lucia bit her lip. Dallen continued calmly.
“I’ve only been able to kill five demons yet. “If you include the number killed by the Holy Knights and those who died trying to cross the castle wall, there are only about ten.”
“…….”
“The Sangvis army on the wall has been holding it back well so far, but if the demons climb up the wall in earnest, that balance will end.”
There were many talented people on the castle walls who could deal with the devil.
Excluding Felber, who was opening up the territory with all his might, there were also transcendental people who reached the 5th rank, such as the magic leader of the Royal Wizards and the cold-blooded knight leader of the Iron Blood Army.
However, combat and war are completely different areas.
This was especially true in such large-scale sieges.
Even if the superhumans worked together to cut off the heads of the three demons in an instant, if the other demons attacked the opposite wall, that would be the end.
Even a castle wall imbued with a defensive spell will not be able to withstand the devil’s attack for long, and it is natural that the moment one wall collapses, the tightly maintained balance will collapse uncontrollably.
The superhumans who formed the realm could survive the chaos, but most of the soldiers who fired arrows and javelins from behind the castle walls would not be able to do so.
The demons know this too, so they hide themselves as much as possible among the monsters and are constantly looking for any gaps in the castle walls.
If it weren’t for the Holy Knights who stalked the enemy lines and chased down such demons, the castle walls would have collapsed a long time ago.
“The Holy Knights need you, Lucia. “There may be many paladins who can slash demons, but there is only one paladin who has the ability to track and find hidden demons.”
It is not easy to find devils who have deliberately hidden themselves among tens of thousands of monsters.
If it weren’t for the power of whitewashing, even Dallon wouldn’t have been able to find and defeat the demons like he did now.
Moreover, in the case of the great evil that infiltrated Warsawk, the Great Demon Tower, even Dallan’s abilities could not detect its presence until the sky fortress collapsed.
The Holy Knights were no different.
One of the abilities inherent in Lucia’s realm is the ability to detect and track demons.
Without that ability, the Knights would have been like a sword wielded by a blind man.
Lucia didn’t know that either, so she sighed and said.
“You must return safely.”
“I understand.”
Lucia nods. Dallen turned around without hesitation.
Tuung –
Just by lightly pushing off the ground, your vision skyrockets.
After stamping my feet a few more times, I was at eye level with the collapsing sky fortress.
A clear sky with no obstructions. It continues to accelerate as it tramples the air without hesitation.
Quagwagwagwang!
The air under my feet condenses to its limit and explodes, creating a roaring sound.
It was an instant to cross the wide battlefield and reach the Sky Fortress.
Kwazijic!
After slashing the holy sword and tearing apart the unstable barrier of the Sky Fortress, Dallon landed on one of the spires and took a moment to catch his breath.
[Lost magic power is swirling everywhere.]
Jeokchang, who had been quietly observing the situation since the battle began, finally opened up.
[It was called the Sky Fortress, so I thought it might have reached the secret source of the ancient dragons, but I never thought it would have used a method completely opposite to that mystery. He was simply concentrating enormous magical power through an endless cycle of magic and supporting a huge fortress with that power alone.]
“…Don’t talk like a spellcaster.”
[The story is that this fortress was lifted up using the total amount of magical power, not a special technique. And that magic power is slowly starting to run away.]
Damn it!
As if in agreement with Jeok Chang’s words, whirlpools of electricity swirl randomly from all directions.
Streams of electricity spread out like a net, but come together to form a sphere or cube, forming the shape of various beasts, and at the moment they explode and blow away a spire.
Amidst the uncontrolled feast of thousands of lightning bolts, numerous boulders were repeatedly rising and falling at their own speed.
The total amount of power that continues to grow while resonating and canceling each other out.
It was as if one corner of an invisible furnace had been broken and fuel and flames were constantly pouring out from within.
‘Was this why the Great Devil killed the leader of the Magic Tower?’
Even Dallon, who has been through hundreds of episodes on the other side of the monitor, has not often set foot in the sky fortress of Warsaw.
However, if Jeok Chang’s comments were added to the knowledge and sense of spells accumulated in this world, it was not difficult to understand what was happening here and now.
According to Jeokchang’s words, the principle behind the Magic Tower Warsawk’s ability to fly in the sky is simply due to a magic technique that injects enormous magical power.
Since the amount of magic was enough to float a fortress in the sky, the person controlling the magic had to be a high-ranking wizard.
‘Even if it’s not possible, a transcendental of the 5th rank or higher should take the center stage… and at least dozens of wizards who have achieved realms should assist.’
It is said that among the six great magic towers, there is none as closed as the sky fortress Warsaw.
I thought it was because of the geographical characteristic of floating in the sky, but it turns out that wasn’t the only reason.
I would have guessed that most of the personnel who were supposed to study the techniques left behind by our ancestors and train talented students were only focused on the simple task of raising the Magic Tower into the sky.
It was tantamount to giving up the future in exchange for current status and reputation.
‘If you think about it, it has the shortest history among the great magic towers. Because the existence of the Sky Fortress alone was enough to secure the place of the Great Demon Tower.’
Even as I continue to think, I sharpen my senses and look between the collapsing spires here and there.
Clearly, the presence of the Great Devil, which had been felt until the Sky Fortress began to tilt, was no longer detected at some point.
I didn’t leave the fortress at all. Dallen’s sixth sense was clearly warning him.
Between the lightning bolts flying in all directions and the flying stones, an adversary who could threaten his life is holding his breath.
“…….”
Suddenly, my gaze lands on one of the distant spires.
A golden ax clearly stuck on the roof.
That was a check thrown at the Great Devil from several kilometers away.
[There is not a single drop of
blood on it.] Jeokchang said. Dallen nodded.
It was not thrown for meaningful results in the first place. Because it was simply to turn the attention of the Great Devil towards him as well.
Moreover, if it was the great evil he knew, he would probably use a hatchet or any kind of weapon…
“You’re the one who threw the axe.”
A chilling whisper suddenly comes.
It was right behind my back.
────Boom!
Even before you hear the sound of a blast coming from above your head, your body reacts first and raises the holy sword to block it.
Kugwagwagwa-!!
Even though it was perfectly blocked, the weak body falls through the roof of the spire.
The descent stopped after crashing through the ceiling and floor several times. Dallen raised his head and looked up into the gaping hole.
A shadow with its shades reversed was looking down at him, with the blue light leaking from the sky fortress behind it.
Ujijik. Tsk tsk tsk.
The head of a scaly reptile.
Red eyes with vertical slit.
Yongin, whose entire body was covered in red blood and had black burn marks left here and there, was holding something and mumbling.
[The body of an archer chewed up by
a dragon was found.] [The body of a mercenary was found.] [
The body of a paladin buried in the Sisan Blood Sea was found.]
[The body of the heir of the red spell was found.]
The eyes As soon as you encounter it, as many as four notification windows are listed in order.
Below the letters meaning the four endings, Yongin opened his mouth wide, threw something round in his hand into his mouth and chewed it.
Kwasik!
Blood and brain fluid splattering between teeth.
It is not difficult to infer the identity of the round object from the flowing red and white pieces.
He was probably one of the high-ranking wizards who were busy filling the holes in the broken spell in order to somehow delay the collapse of the Sky Fortress.
“…Taalmad.”
“oh. You know me. “My name is not well known among humans.”
At the unconscious muttering of the name, the bastard revealed its sharp teeth.
Taalmad, an archdemon little known even to warlocks, was rather famous among demons.
Traitor of dragon blood.
A dragon who hunts true dragons.
There are many nicknames floating around among demons, but among them, there is only one name that is most representative of them.
“Grand Duke of Xishan Blood Sea.”
An archdemon who tore apart dozens of demons and created his own hell with countless corpses, both mortal and demonic.
It was a fitting name for someone who was said to be the most powerful among the six Grand Dukes under Sun.
Gurgling.
Dallen slowly got up from the pile of collapsed stones and checked the condition of the holy sword.
Although it looked fine on the outside, my fingertips could feel the minute cracks spreading inside.
The Holy Sword, which had never had even a single scratch before, was damaged for the first time by a single attack.
“Tsk.”
Clicking his tongue, he shoved the holy sword into subspace, and also pushed the phantom slayer on his belt and the steel dagger in his arms into subspace.
After taking off the newly tailored armor at the tsarist royal family’s blacksmith shop, all that was left was a piece of cotton-filled cloth of appropriate thickness.
A feat of throwing away all weapons in front of the enemy.
Taalmad, who was quietly watching the scene, tilted his head.
“It’s fascinating. “Do you know not only my name but also my power?”
“well.”
“Otherwise, your actions don’t make sense.”
Dallen didn’t bother to answer. I just relaxed my shoulders slightly and tapped my toes.
As expected, the weight of the body became lighter.
A clear sense of liberation, as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders, even though it had been a long time since I was no longer restricted by the weight of armor or weapons.
Yongin’s head, which had been tilting, slowly straightened when he saw that. The guy’s red, slit eyes shined.
“No, you know. That I fight without weapons or armor. “That my fists and teeth are my weapons and my scales and bones are my armor.”
The reason the holy sword was damaged was not simply because it was strong.
If that were the case, the Holy Sword would have already started to be damaged a long time ago when we fought Cheongrin.
The real reason the holy sword was damaged was because of its power.
A power that weakens the weapons of those fighting against it and turns those weapons into a bondage.
That was the biggest factor that put Taalmad in the first place among the six princes, and it was also the reason why four characters were killed by him.
Since it is impossible for even an evil spirit to nullify the power of the Great Devil, even beyond the monitor, his existence felt like an insurmountable mountain.
“And even the ending where I was able to defeat all the princes except my lord because I fought like that.”
However, Dallon did not think he would lose.
It felt like an insurmountable mountain, but it didn’t mean there was no strategy.
Even after receiving a request from the Tsarina, he went around for a long time and climbed the Tooth Mountains of the World in order to find one of the few strategies.
There was no other reason why they took part in the civil war of the High Orcs and endured the trouble of defeating not only the warchief possessed by the devil but also the true form of the devil.
“The fact that you don’t seem to have any intention of backing down means that you have prepared a weapon to deal with me.”
“okay.”
“Show me somewhere.”
Yongin showed his teeth. A happy purring sound came out from between them.
Dallen took a deep breath. The opponent is the Great Devil. It is not a situation to look at the liver.
Sigh.
I clenched my fists and took a step forward.
The panorama I picture in my head is the sky and earth clashing with the gray warrior.
Boom──
Concentric waves begin from the first step taken.
At the same time, a white tattoo that has never been engraved begins to emit light all over the body.
Behind his half-opened eyes, his gaze gazed at the realm, the only terrain in the snowy mountain that he did not create himself.
Hwii….
The wind that starts from the mountain peaks sweeps across the land, and the skills of a fighter honed over decades are melting away.
Kurrrrrr….
The only sky that cannot be invaded by the dark clouds that fill the sky beyond the image is filled with the fighting spirit of a hero who defeated the evil spirit until the very end.
‘I’ll leave it to you…’
I remember the last voice.
A character that can be moved with just a few clicks across the monitor.
The voice of a warrior who resisted while witnessing the end of a world.
Kuung━━━━
The will left across the distant timeline left ripples in my heart, and at the same time, a colorless shade was overlaid on the colorless waves spreading beneath my feet.
And the moment I opened my eyes with half-opening eyes.
「Domain Opening: Gray Sky at the End」
The half-destroyed Sky Fortress was completely gray.
