Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 282

Bottomless Pit (2)
– ――――――!!
Jinryong’s full glory resounds throughout the city.
– The 3rd Artillery Battalion fires!
The defenders of the Shun Castle Wall fire a volley of fire at the dragons.
Quagwagwang! Quagwang!
The arrow fired from the crossbow failed to pierce the hard scales and bounced off helplessly. The cannonballs also missed the dragons like water flowing from a sudden gust of wind.
Immediately after the defenders’ offensive was neutralized, the distance between the dragons and the castle walls was only about a kilometer.
All it took was a moment to breathe before the magical energy gathered in the snout was shot out in the form of breath.
The gap was too short for the troops on the walls to evacuate.
– ――――!
– ―――!!
Hundreds of breaths sweep over the pure silver castle walls.
It is the most primitive form of spell, but at the same time, it is a technique that perfectly suits the most fundamental purpose of the spell.
Flame and cold melt and freeze the soldiers at the same time, and the pressure of the water current and storm tears and crushes the remains.
The protective shield blocking the top of the pure silver castle wall could not even resist the overwhelming wave of magical power and was torn apart.
– Wow!
– Rick! Liik! help me!
And it was impossible for a single soldier or knight to withstand waves that the protective shield could not withstand.
It was a moment when the winner and loser were clearly determined in just one exchange of attack and defense.
– shield! It’s perfect!
Cheers erupted from inside the city.
At the same time, two figures soared above the city streets of the Shunyin district.
Two true dragons that cast off their small human forms in the blink of an eye and cast huge shadows.
The slightly larger one was an ancient dragon with shining green-brown eyes. he shouted.
– It was only yesterday that I regained my freedom from the Dragon God! In the meantime, did you change your name again?
– …the first roar.
– Don’t call me that name! I am Kyle Berkus Arben! Unlike you, Jinryong chose complete freedom!
Magical power gathers like a whirlpool as soon as the words are spoken.
Winding ancient letters shine on a body that appears to be covered with brass, and rough waves spread out from a horn that looks like it was carved from an emerald.
━━━━━━!!
There were no noticeable explosions or deafening roars.
The breath stretched quietly in a straight line and quickly passed over the dragons that had landed on the castle wall.
Death spread along the traces left by the green-brown straight lines.
The head that was feasting on the crushed corpse falls down, and the dragon that tried to fly up to escape its breath splits into two pieces and falls.
-Slaughtering your own people! Even though you did that…!
– Nonsense! Did you even flinch your heavy buttocks when the Dragon God took away the name of Jeokchang!
With a loud roar, the two dragons became entangled.
A green dragon with blue-white scales bites the wing of a black dragon called a shield, and a green-brown dragon and a pale yellow-scaled wingtap hit each other’s horns head-on.
「Territory Opening: The Royal Family’s Giant Soldier that Spills Out Resentment」
Under the sky where dragons collided and magical power trembled, a huge steel golem slowly rose up in the city.
Hundreds of cannons aimed at the dragons that survived the breath of Kyle Berkus.
The dwarf riding on the giant soldier’s shoulder waved his hand with excited eyes.
-Fire all batteries!
Transmitted light! Kkkkwang!
Fire strikes the castle walls.
Pieces of stone shatter and fly away. Crushed scales and pieces of flesh mixed in between.
Dallen, who was floating in the sky in a conscious state, suddenly raised his head.
With that simple movement, the focus on the dragons shifted away from me and I looked down at the panoramic view of the city.
– For the glory of the God of War –
– Exterminate the minions of Hell!
To the north of the Shun Wall, the Holy Knights led by Edgar Reinhardt were clashing with demons.
On the east side, the Transcendents of the Diamond Palace and the Pure Silver Knights, and on the west side, knights from Siena and the Kingdom of Knights were working together to block the monsters.
– Twine! fight!
– Wow!
High Orcs and Warchief Tarum flock to wherever the battle intensifies.
– Come this way! Move along the vine path!
– Everyone please be in order!
Shania Philopon creates a temporary escape route out of vines and evacuates residents with bronze guards.
‘…….’
The conscious field of view not only looked at the entire battlefield at a glance, but was also able to pay attention to different battle scenes at the same time.
Perhaps because of its unreality, the sight of the city slowly collapsing feels as if it is an illusion seen through a monitor.
Excited.
But why?
My heart tightens at the sight that feels like nothing more than an illusion.
Is it because my view was so close to the battlefield that I witnessed each and every tragedy on the vast battlefield?
Excited.
A soldier whose neck is pierced by a frogman’s spear. A comrade who pierces the Frogman’s heart with a scream at the loss of a comrade.
Even he is impaled by an unknown tentacle monster and torn apart with his entire armor, and the Elgaia Magic Tower’s earth magic completely turns the scene upside down and buries it beneath the ground.
Excited.
The gaze moves to the wizard who cast the spell. The sword of the knight guarding her breaks, and the blind pieces of the sword, imbued with aura, tear through the robe’s defense techniques and the fragile body beneath it.
Due to the intense pain tearing through my lungs, the techniques I had been preparing without a break go out of control. The stalactites that suddenly rose up in the area exploded and tore apart dozens of wizards and knights, including the knight with a broken sword and the wizard himself.
Excited.
Corpses pile on top of corpses.
Death covered another death.
The loss that was prevalent everywhere did not even allow for common crying.
The fear threatening survival only brought out loud screams, and the anger at losing family and friends only brought about screams with nowhere to go.
Excited.
Nevertheless, the fight continued. Because there was no place to retreat to.
Apprentice knights of the Diamond Palace Magic Tower Alliance merchant guild, elf refugees, self-armed and volunteer citizen soldiers, and even mercenaries hired for a leaf or two of silver.
All of them, who had gathered together for their own reasons and reasons, risked their lives to fight against the forces of hell that covered the distant horizon.
The battle at dawn did not subside even at dusk. Darkness covers the flickering of torches. The sun rises again after that.
The absurdly fast passage of time and omniscient view made it feel like a game, but the lack of a keyboard and mouse was a crucial difference.
Because in reality, there is no such thing as a pause button.
‘…….’
Scene after scene passes in an instant as if time has accelerated, and the body in the bottomless pit slowly swims in the void and sinks.
The forces of the labyrinth city, which were on the defensive, retreated little by little but surely. If things continued like this, it was certain that the pure silver district would fall.
After the pure silver district falls, the gold district will be next. And the twenty-six halls of the Platinum Diamond Palace and its deepest part would be the center of the city.
Even though the ending was obvious, I couldn’t do anything about it.
All I can do is stare at the silhouette of an evil spirit slowly approaching the city, hiding itself in a veil on top of a palanquin at the edge of the army of evil that fills the horizon.
In the midst of the endless helplessness that came between the gap between mind and body, Dallon felt a strange sensation from his body in the bottomless pit.
-Talk.
A feeling as if your toes are touching somewhere. Something solid and flat supports the soles of your feet.
Is it the floor? I’ve never heard of a bottomless pit having a floor.
Even as I thought that, my limp body managed to maintain its balance. At that time, I saw something sparkling in the distance through the barely visible sight of my remaining body.
Beetle.
I take steps instinctively.
I force myself to move my legs, which are limp from loss of strength, and stretch my arms by activating my emaciated muscles.
How many times did I repeat that difficult yet tedious step? Before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the source of the sparkle.
It was something like a small rock. Dallen’s body, kneeling helplessly, fell gently onto the stones.
and.
[It’s time to wake up.]
My vision has become brighter.
***
Wheeeeee……!
Biting wind. A snowstorm that covers the field of vision.
Rumbling!
Dark red clouds filled the entire sky and a sea of five-colored lightning peeked beyond them.
“…….”
Against the backdrop of an all too familiar scene, the back yard of the cabin was visible, littered with tools for dismembering game.
Dallen slowly and carefully lifted his leg.
Throbbing –
The snow that had accumulated on the leather shoes was falling.
Pout.
A field of snow piled up under newly made footprints crunches pleasantly.
Snap. Puzzle.
Dallen tried moving his shoulders and arms, twisting his neck left and right, and taking a few steps.
[The body of Tushin, who fell into the abyss, was recovered. I inherit the ability.]
And before I could adjust to the feeling of regaining my lost body, my eyes were blocked by letters embroidered in the air.
[Inheritance Reward: Strength +15, Prowess +12, Stamina +13, Senses +13, Intelligence +11, Magic Power +14, Black Lightning (unique), Red Flame God (unique), Convenient Blade (unique, Windwolgwak (unique), Landing Ship (unique), Surrounding Homecoming… ….]
The list goes on without knowing the end.
Before I can follow it all, letters are erased from the top and new letters take over my field of vision once again.
