The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 220
Episode 220:
Kwasik. Pachang!
‘This is ridiculous!’
McClanahan vomited blood through his mouth.
In his trembling eyes, the image of Raoul lightly holding his back was reflected.
“As expected, since there is no guard, it doesn’t have much power.”
puck!
“Ugh.”
Raoul only nodded slightly, but an unknown force struck McClanahan in the abdomen.
‘damn. What is everyone doing while interest is causing a stir here?’
I want to ask for help, but this place is already almost cut off from the outside world.
The thousands of weapon corps controlled by Raoul were rotating at high speed, forming a hemispherical dome.
The undead army he had summoned was helplessly torn apart by the rotating weapon army, and the same was true for the demonic beasts coming out of the dark gate.
As soon as they came out, they were cut down by dozens of weapons, so it was no different from an automatic execution site.
“hmm. Are you giving up? “Why don’t you activate your hidden power?”
Raoul asked with a curious expression.
If they were pushed to this level, they would have had to make a ‘black sacrifice’ or at least put up some kind of struggle, but McClanahan showed no signs of doing so.
“I don’t know anything. “If you want to kill me, kill me!”
For a moment, Raoul’s eyes became pale.
Then he snapped his fingers and laughed.
“Aha, you’re trying to be ‘Rich’?”
“…!”
McClanahan’s expression turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
‘…How did know?’
rich.
A warlock or necromancer turned themselves into undead to enjoy immortality.
Although they lose all of the senses they can enjoy as humans, they can receive the blessings of life force and dark magic that are close to immortality.
The problem is that not only do we lose our senses, but we also lose our human appearance.
Isn’t it impossible to become a skeleton and live in human society?
Anyway, in order to become a lich, one condition had to be met.
No damage to the soul.
However, activating Black Sacrifice not only depletes vitality but also soul, so it was a difficult choice for McClanahan to consider.
“well. I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you want to kill them, kill them quickly. If not, release them. “If you let me live, I will give up the fight and leave here.”
Anyway, even if he knew about Lichification, nothing would change.
His soul is already connected with a powerful spell to the special jewel ‘Life Vessel’ located in some place in the empire.
It was said that even if you lose your life, you can come back to life.
‘There is no problem as long as a powerful priest who can neutralize the spell does not appear.’
But the next moment, McClanahan screamed.
“Now wait a minute! “My story…”
Seokyeong.
An aura of brilliance spread out, and an Auror blade filled with divine power cleanly blew off his head.
And at the same time, something dark and red connected to his body was cut off.
Raoul’s golden eyes returned to their original blue and the corner of his mouth twitched.
‘That’s funny. It’s clearly visible through the analysis, so there’s no way you can’t cut it.’
McClanahan’s severed head was seen with his eyes wide open as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Now then, the next prey is…”
Raoul’s body flashed and disappeared on the spot.
* * *
The battle in the temple has concluded.
As Raoul predicted, Ezekiel fought hard, even sacrificing his sword, but in front of Cardenas, he was nothing more than a child’s joke.
While Cardenas blew off his limbs, his second brother Lawrence cut his body in half with his bayonet.
The 7th circle wind wizard Fry was solved by Ravel.
Ravel competed with wind magic based on his overflowing mana, and needless to say, he won with an overwhelming difference in skill.
Even though Fry was equipped with wizard power armor, he suffered the humiliation of losing his life to his own wind magic.
Lastly, Bow Master Bryce.
“Sha. Caught it all. Hunting. You can’t believe I stole it. Rude. You’re human. Shaa.”
Naga family chieftain Raknesha muttered to himself as he licked his lips.
The moment Raoul finished awakening and stepped out of the barrier, the Nagas also resumed the battle.
Raoul escapes the barrier and goes on the offensive.
That was the signal to the Naga family, and they kept their promise.
And while Warchief Rachnesha was exchanging arrows with the Empire’s Master again, Raoul, who secretly approached, easily finished the battle.
Now, all that remains in the temple are the remnants of the empire and the demonic beasts.
With the Naga family participating in the war and members of the special exploration team leaving the barrier and joining the sweep, it seemed only a matter of time before things were resolved.
‘Is this the end?’
Raknesha looked at the barrier and handed the large bow to a tribe member.
“Sha! Warchief! The problem. It happened. different. “It’s an intruder.”
“Sha. Where are you? also. who.”
“Sha. They are human. weird. The human race. Tribal members. “They attacked.”
‘Humans?’
Raknesha’s eyes sparkled.
No matter their identity, if they tried to invade the sanctuary by force, they were enemies.
Even if it is a colleague of the human race in the barrier with whom we have formed a temporary alliance.
“Sha. all. Hold on. dare. we. area. invaded. Enemies. I forgive you. Mara.”
“Shaa!”
Elite troops, including warrior chiefs and tribal chiefs, headed out of the temple.
‘You’re lucky.’
The corners of Raknesha’s mouth rose slightly.
* * *
Charalak.
Raoul’s army of weapons flew in an orderly manner and disappeared into Raoul’s subspace.
The inside of the temple has been neatly cleaned up.
The Empire’s armor users resisted until the end, but there was no way they could hold out as even the superhumans were wiped out.
“You worked hard, Raoul.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
Raoul, who returned to the makeshift fort, was greeted by his older brothers Lawrence and Kane Jakes.
“You worked hard too. How is Lord Kane’s wound?”
“The treatment went well. “You won’t find a potion this effective anywhere else.”
Kane’s side, where the flesh had fallen off and the bones were visible, was completely healed as if it had never been that way.
It was the effect of the ‘top-quality recovery potion’ that Nakia had handcrafted.
Due to the extreme production volume, it was only distributed to executives and senior knights within the First Guild, and it received rave reviews, saying that it seemed like they were carrying extra lives.
“Raul has been dealt with.”
“Uh, label. “How’s the situation?”
“We have temporarily sealed it, but I think it will be difficult to seal it completely.”
The two dark gates that were constantly pouring out magical beasts became quiet.
This is because Ravel created a magic barrier with a mana stone and temporarily closed the hole.
“It’s difficult.”
Raoul scratched his head.
Although the intruders have been dealt with, most of the ancient seals have already been broken.
By protecting the final barrier stone, the opening of the most threatening Dark Gate was prevented…
‘If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the empire breaks through when they attack again.’
The real guardian who guarded this place disappeared, and Raoul had no intention of continuing to guard this place.
Of course, I had no intention of leaving Lawrence here.
At that time, a system message appeared before Raoul’s eyes.
-[Main Quest: Level 3 Ancient Seal Protection] has been updated.
-First goal: Guarding the barrier stone has been completed within the specified time.
-Second objective: The repulsion of the invaders has been completed.
-[Unknown helper(?)] arrived near Bongin. Join them to reseal the Dark Gate.
With the intruders annihilated, two objectives were completed.
‘I think I have some time left.’
There was still about an hour left in the actual quest goal time, but it was completed, perhaps because it was judged that there were no more enemies threatening the barrier stone.
Anyway, I was a little curious about who the helper who had appeared before was.
‘Three Masters of the Wall. Or maybe Black, one of the three wise men of the continent.’
Gray, a wandering sage, and White, head of the Wizard Press Association.
The last remaining Great Sage was ‘Black’.
He was known as a wizard who did not form any force but wandered alone and fought endless battles.
Of course, his fighting power is the strongest among the great sages.
There was talk of him appearing often near the wall recently, so Raoul was hoping he might meet him.
‘Because in my past life, there were only rumors.’
During Bae Do-hyun’s more than 10 years of activity, Gray and White often appeared in front of players.
But no one officially saw Black.
Therefore, analysts assumed that Great Sage Black either lost his life during the ‘Wall Incident’ or later moved his area of activity ‘within the empire’.
If he is someone who can communicate like Great Sage Gray, he will be a great help in the future battle against the Empire.
‘There’s no way things will go that smoothly.’
Raoul chuckled.
Anyway, I felt much more at ease when I heard that I could reseal this place once the helper arrived.
But things were going differently than Raoul expected.
“Lawrence, a messenger has arrived from the Naga camp.”
“messenger? Well, now that the battle is over, we should discuss the aftermath. “Raul, let’s go together.”
Lawrence and Raoul, who went to the exploration team’s report and met the messenger, could not help but be embarrassed by the sudden noise.
“Sha. Human race. Leader. Warchief. look for Captive. Negotiation. want.”
“Prisoner negotiations? What does that mean all of a sudden?”
Laurence turned his head to look at Raoul, but Raoul didn’t know anything either.
* * *
‘Holy shit.’
Raoul could barely hold back the curse that was about to come out.
I was already starting to have a headache.
“Sha. Young warrior. These are. With you. Because we belong to the same group. insist. Is it true? “Sha.”
Next to Naga Chieftain Raknesha.
These people are bound and kneeling side by side.
Among them, familiar faces caught my eye.
‘Why…!’
Among the many, many helper candidates, why these?
“I knew it would be like this! Raoul you bastard! How dare you betray humans and join monsters?”
A person who shouts proudly, raising a blood vessel in his neck, wondering why he is so good.
He is a member of the warrior party.
It was the paladin Cornelius.
“Lord Cornelius, please!”
“Oh, Viscount Raoul. Please speak to them! Whoop.”
Belatedly, Goddess Kiera stopped him and Guide Simar spoke to Raoul as if complaining.
However, he was soon gagged by the Naga family.
Raoul patted his forehead and sighed.
‘What should I do? Should I close my mouth and pretend not to notice?
But there were a lot of things that bothered me about that.
Like it or not, they are main quest NPCs.
It seemed that the power of a saint was clearly needed for the resealing.
And it wasn’t just the warrior party that was captured.
About a dozen people were kneeling together with frustrated expressions, and they were players.
‘They’re Rakuen and Drake Guild guys.’
Just looking at him, he looked like a defeated soldier.
The armor was dented and had holes here and there, and blood was flowing from the wounds.
It seems that after getting involved with the warrior party at Marquess McNeil, they came here.
‘You must have had a hard time. Hehe.’
The level of undead and monsters that appeared on the wall was too high for today’s players to handle.
Even more so, what can we say about the inside of Geumyeok?
I don’t know how many people came together, but it was obvious that the game was over for quite a few people.
“Warchief. “Let’s talk separately for a moment.”
“Sha. “Sure.”
The treatment of the warchief certainly seemed to have changed since becoming a master.
He was accepting Raoul’s words, not Lawrence’s.
“What do you want?”
“Sha. What do you want? Something like that. does not exist. The group. If that’s right. I will release you. “Sha.”
He said that, but his expression looked completely different.
When I saw the corners of his mouth slightly rising as if he had caught a good number, I was moved to tears.
But rather than getting angry, Raoul smiled and spoke again.
“I know them, but they are not really colleagues. “I don’t care what you do with them.”
“Sha. Are you serious? They are. we. tribe members. I hurt you. if. you guys. The group. If not. Execute them. “I will throw it away.”
The warchief’s expression hardened.
“of course. But…”
Raoul turned his head and looked at the dark gate.
“They have the ability to seal that vicious object. That’s my opinion, but wouldn’t leaving it like that wouldn’t be beneficial to the Naga family?”
“Sha.”
Honestly, from Raoul’s point of view, it didn’t matter what happened.
It would be best if the Naga shamans were so capable that they could close the seal themselves.
Otherwise, the warchief would have no choice but to release them.
If you execute them even though they don’t have the sealing ability.
‘Then I’ll take my hand off too.’
Anyway, the goal was to save brother Lawrence.
Didn’t they do enough to prevent the ancient seal from being released right away?
If the Empire came after again, it was now a problem for the Naga family to solve on their own.
‘Why do I need to be swayed?’
Raoul left the fate of the warrior party to the Naga Warchief.
And the warchief’s choice…
