To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 83

Episode 83 Defending the Border (2)

It’s already a difficult situation, but it’s becoming more of a headache.

Moreover, the Necromancer was an opponent he had never fought before.

I can’t prepare because I don’t have any information.

For that reason, it was better to go faster.

Ray wrapped Mana around his legs and sped up.

* * *

As soon as the day dawned, the troops were able to reach the border.

Now, seeing the undead and monsters close enough to be seen with the naked eye, the captains began to take a deep breath.

When I thought that I would have to face that enormous force in the future, I lost the confidence to return alive.

It was a natural idea because they were greatly inferior in number and quality.

Even if you just guess with your own eyes, the difference in troops is more than tenfold.

If you add up the yet unseen monsters, there will be more than that. It really couldn’t have been a huge difference.

From the rear, the captain of the Guard shouted to the surroundings.

“The enemy is right in front of you! Everyone, check your status once again!”

Clearly nervous, they answered the words of the guards commander while inspecting their weapons and armor.

“yes!”

“yes!”

Check the status of each troop in command.

Border guards were aiming bows dipped in holy water from the top of the wall.

“Kreureu…”

“Keuaaa!”

From far away, I began to hear the howls of monsters that seemed to boil my vocal cords.

A life-threatening cry and a massive body that would shake the earth’s axis pressed them.

It felt like a chill ran down my spine.

Even the will to fight is lost at the absurd numbers.

The captain of the Guard let out a dejected laugh at the sight.

It couldn’t have been a dog death.

In a situation where the undead seemed daunting, even medium-sized monsters overflowed.

“…His Majesty the Pope is doing too much.”

The knight commander shouted to the garrison on the wall.

“Ready to shoot! Shoot the undead as soon as they come out of the forest!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

There was tension in the hall.

In front of them, undead who were not afraid of death were lined up.

When one or two escaped from the forest, the knight commander shouted.

“Shoot!”

Tak-Tak-Tak-

Wee-Eek-

The arrows that left the protests flew towards the Undead with a tremendous sound.

Peruk- Peruk-

“Keack!”

“Koooooo!”

Arrows dipped in holy water were quite effective.

In the case of the foremost Skeleton Warriors, it was enough to make them completely incapacitated with two or three feet.

But that also worked only for the Skeleton Warriors.

The Skeleton Knights coming from behind the warriors didn’t react much even though they were hit with holy water-soaked arrows.

Feeling impatient with him, the knight commander gritted his teeth and charged.

“Knights follow me! Never cross the border!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

With a thunderous reply, the Holy Knights rushed in unison.

Five hundred in numbers. With that small number, they had to fend off over 7,000 undead.

The Holy Altar began to bless the Knights who were advancing forward.

“God bless us. Bless.”

“A body that does not suffer from enemy attacks… Holy protect.”

“May strong power dwell in your body…strength!”

The Paladins, who received many blessings, displayed tremendous power.

Chaenggang-

Seoguk-

The undead who were cut by the blades of the Holy Knights’ holy power could not rise again.

However, the slashed opponent is the weakest skeleton warrior among the undead.

As I looked around without letting go of my tension, I immediately started hearing deafening cries.

“Kyaaaaaaagh!”

“Kikiiik!”

A grotesque cry resembling a scratching on a blackboard spread widely.

Ghosts in the form of women who shed bloody tears rushed at the paladins.

The commander of the knights who swallowed the wind at that appearance shouted.

“Bansida! Everyone be careful!”

Banshee roamed the sky and slashed the bodies of paladins with its long, sharp claws.

Even though they were blessed, the bodies of the knights were torn apart like paper being torn apart.

“Aagh!”

“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”

Blood flowed into the air.

The banshee, who was receiving the splattered blood with a happy expression, roared again.

Chaeng – Caang –

The knight commander raised his sword and stopped the banshee.

In response, the Holy Altar quickly began to treat the wounded.

“Heal!”

“Heal.”

It is a wound that has been torn all the way to the shoulder blade. Healing did not progress very quickly.

As the blood started to stop, the Banshees changed their target from the Knights to the Holy Altar.

“Kiaaaaa!”

Some of the people in the Holy Altar were frightened by the enormous noise.

“omg!”

“Please save me!”

“Don’t worry, treat the knights! We will protect you!”

“I don’t have time to be like this!”

The Royal Guard shouted as they stopped the rain of banshees from the sky.

There were basically many young people in the Holy Altar.

That’s why there were also some people who fell into a panic during the battle.

As a result, victims began to appear little by little.

“Aaaagh!”

“Keoheok ….”

Skeleton Knight’s sword penetrated the chest and the waist was cut off and died.

The dead corpse started to stand up again.

A colleague who had been fighting alongside until just now became an enemy and blocked his path.

A middle-aged knight cried out in tears as his close friend, who had been with him for 20 years, became undead in an instant.

“Wake! It’s me! Derio!”

“You are sober! That’s undead now!”

He was a colleague who had been entrusted with his back until just a moment ago, but now he was no different from a monster.

Shed tears of blood and cut him as he rushed after losing consciousness.

The undead screamed in agony and died as soon as the divine power they had been using touched their bodies.

“Aagh!”

Seeing his friend in pain, Derio cut his throat.

Spark-

“…I’m so sorry… I’ll be following soon.”

“Fuck the nonsense! We must return alive no matter what!”

The situation was pure chaos.

The undead pushing in and the self stepping back little by little to defend themselves.

Among them, those who were distracted by their comrades becoming undead and dying began to appear one after another.

The Holy Altar was especially severe.

As young as they were, there were those who shared love with the same Holy Altar.

He quickly fell into a panic when his lover became an undead and became a monster.

“Aagh! Silly…!”

“Yes… Let’s die together, Zerenia.”

I saw a few people who gave up their lives and gave up their lives because their faith was weak and their spirit was weak.

The leader and vice-captain of the Holy Altar shouted at them.

“What are you doing! You guys were going to sit still and give up your head when your close friend was murdered!”

“Shouldn’t we kill even one more undead! Everyone stand up!”

These were the words of the leader and vice-captain, who were normally so quiet.

Those who fell into despair at the sound of their voices began to unite in anger that a close friend had been murdered.

The look in his eyes that had given up on his life turned into a poisonous one in an instant.

The gentle side of the usual priests and priests was no longer visible.

There were only those who glared at the undead with the blood of their colleagues smeared on their faces.

They murmured and left their seats one by one.

“…okay. I should take one more.”

“I can’t sit down here.”

“Heal!”

“Holy shield!”

When support from the rear, which had stopped, started again, the knights also began to rush from the front.

“Eat this!”

Slashes down undead knights with a lot of holy power injected into the sword.

It was truly an inexplicable force.

The troops, who seemed to be pushed back and seized the border at any moment, began to advance little by little.

“Whoa… This is pretty fun! giggles!”

The brown robe, who was watching their battle from behind, burst into a bitter laugh and waved his hand.

Then, the ink-colored mana followed his hand gestures and spread to the surroundings.

Flash –

The energy of the undead started to get a little stronger.

Chaeeng – Kaang –

The undead warriors who had been doing well a while ago raised their swords and began to block their attacks.

Those who had the upper hand, even by force, were being pushed out of power.

‘What kind of power is this…! I’m going to cut down the entire sword!’

The sword that he swung vigorously as if he was stamping it was mixed with demonic energy.

One troop wearing demonic spirits.

Of course, it was an instant to be pushed again.

Their faces, which had been overflowing with morale, began to turn to despair little by little.

* * *

“What is this mana?”

Indeed, Ray, who was heading towards the border at an astounding speed, looked around with his eyes closed.

The sticky, unpleasant mana was encroaching on the surroundings.

But the range is huge.

This level of mana range… It was about the extent I had never seen before.

Probably, in terms of scope, it was similar to Aira or more.

In terms of density, it was lousy.

The small amount of mana in the air that disappears quickly even if pushed away seems to be mana aimed only at spreading widely.

“Is this Magi?”

Ray touched Magi with a serious expression.

Before even touching one, it is purified.

Representative three major mana.

Mana, divine power, and magic.

Among them, Magi knew that he had to collect mana through a special method because he could not collect it here in the middle world.

Is there an existence that can scatter such demonic energy to this extent? After all, is it the necromancer who destroyed the age of sorcery?

I was doing something pretty fun.

Perhaps, if ordinary people are exposed to this demonic energy, they will get skin diseases or lung diseases, or their limbs will rot.

It’s because the density is terrible compared to myself, but it’s not like that for ordinary people.

Soon there will be no more people or animals to be found.

‘As long as the demonic energy was scattered, the fight would have already taken place.’

If a fight had broken out, I could roughly predict what would have happened.

The undead will flock to them as much as they will, and eventually they will be able to defend themselves.

That way, you’ll be able to hold out for at least a day.

But what if there are aerial monsters and undead?

‘It’s only three or four hours at most.’

It was a self-evident fact that if the border was breached and the castle was eaten, the troops defending it would be annihilated.

Is that all? Immediately, the undead pushing into the Holy Kingdom would die, regardless of the people or nobles.

If that happens, the kingdom will perish.

In addition, the enemy forces may have even launched an internal attack, and forces that were not normally visible began to stand up using the usurpation of the papal throne as an excuse.

It must have already decided to eat one side with them.

In order to prevent them, all the main forces of the Seongguk were deployed inside, and they and some other troops were ordered to die and went to block the border.

Perhaps, if we don’t close the border, those who somehow survive will be held accountable and die.

After all, the orders were given and the borders failed to be guarded, so they will somehow try to shift the blame for failing to close the borders onto the survivors.

It was a really stupid and uncivilized idea. If the borders were breached, the kingdom would perish, so where would the responsibility lie?

Ray let out a sigh.

“As soon as you come to the Holy Land, you are a high school student. Is a saint a fool to ask you to die on what border? Hehe.”

It was the moment when I became even more dissatisfied with the god I didn’t like.
