Bab 222: Koo Dae-sung (1)
"Damn--that's a lot of them."
Entering the city of Pyongyang, Koo Dae-sung and the resistance fighters were fed up with the demonic army that filled the city.
"Mr. Koo--- Are we really going to go?"
Their forces were led by two hunters and guild members representing Korea. The elite North Korean Hunters and Man-At-Arms from the Resistance totaled more than 300 people.
A force of around three hundred Hunters was not a weak force by any means.
Even a modest Red Gate could be cleared with a hundred people, and 300 people could challenge a Black Gate, depending on the number of S-class Hunters.
Three hundred superhumans would be a formidable force. But──
"I'm guessing there are more than a hundred thousand of them."
"That's a lot of trash."
The number of enemies was so large that even the legendary Korean S-class Hunters Kang Jin-sung and Chun Jin-soo were fed up.
In a battlefield of ten thousand Hunters and a million enemies, the number three hundred was too small.
"If we even had a communication link, it would be ------"
Koo Dae-sung had witnessed the moment when satellites from all over the world crashed and rushed here.
Along the way, he tried again and again to communicate with Yappy and TTG Temple main base, but with satellites all over the world destroyed.
Even if the emergency communications network were restored, it would only be inside South Korea, not in the middle of this battlefield.
"This is the best detour we can take. We're only a kilometer away from joining our allies, but------"
Beyond, he could see the knights of the TTG Temple, the Man-At-Arms, and Hunters from Korea and around the world, fighting against the demons.
But within a kilometer.
"How many tens of thousands of units are in that distance alone?"
The road to the allied base was too treacherous and full of threats.
"Okay, I, Kang Jin-sung, and the North Koreans will head there but you guys stay here."
Unexpectedly, Chun Jin-soo looked at Koo Dae-sung and the Man-At-Arms and ordered them to stay.
"Is it because we are--weak?"
"I understand."
Koo Dae-sung and Man At Arms, their skill level wouldn't be considered 'bad'.
On the contrary, their cohesion and group tactics are half a rank higher than their natural ability.
Top of C class. At best, the bottom of the B rank. With a knight and his subordinates at that level, it would be impossible for them to break through that Abyssal Battlefield.
"But we have to go."
Koo Dae-sung and Captain Kim Dohan replied almost simultaneously.
"The young knight friend is one thing, but what about you?"
"Because the goddess Arianna and the god Petos said that those who run away from the battlefield are not worthy."
We're supposed to go to paradise when we die.
Deeply religious reasons. But it was an accident that was now part of their lives.
"And our armors are probably more reliable than yours. Lord Yappy gave us the latest model armor for our hardships in a foreign country."
That was something Chun Jin-soo and the other Hunters realized. In the battle against the Great Old One, Merguiola, even the star-iron weapons carried by the Man-At-Arms as sidearms were very efficient.
"Our armor alone should hold up pretty well, so I'd have to give them a half-rank higher."
Average B-rank Hunter. When Captain Kim Dohan said that this would be enough, Chun Jin-soo and Kang Jin-sung smiled bitterly.
"It'll be more dangerous than you think. Stay close."
Chun Jin-soo raised his sword and Kang Jin-sung followed suit.
Behind them, the elite Hunters of the Divine Sword and Blue Star, and the North Koreans and Man-At-Arms made up the rest of the force.
"Let's go."
In the next moment, Chun Jin-soo and Kang Jin-sung swept through the front with the most power they could muster.
"We'll follow you two seniors and run to join the main army!"
"We're fucking running!"
The distance to the main camp was about a kilometer. It's a long distance, but with two legendary S-class Hunters and members of the elite Divine Sword Guild and the Blue Star Guild──
"Don't spare any magic power! Use it all!"
"Don't spare anyone who can use Holy Law!"
The mages in their guilds fired artillery spells, and the faithful in their guilds who had been ordained by the Ten Thousand Gods each used Holy Law.
These two guilds were two of the most powerful S-class raiding organizations. Following the lead of the strongest guild leaders, they began to crush the demons with their mighty power.
-------!?
-What the hell?!
The demons were taken aback by the sudden flanking attack. They didn't expect a new army to come out of nowhere.
-Counterattack.
-Move the rear guard. They're few. Devour them.
The most bizarre creatures in the world stood in their way.
Koo Dae-sung raised his shield above his upper body on his horse and braced himself for the intense collision.
"Thud!"
"Ugh!"
He barely avoided being thrown off his horse as the giant snake-like creature crashed into him.
Koo Dae-sung swung the Star Iron Sword at the creature's still-long body.
-Chew!
-Kiiiiiiiiiiiii!
The snake demon's screech rang out. Koo Dae-sung Thunderous Star Iron Sword was like rat poison to the demons.
'But I couldn't cut it off, I don't have enough strength!'
The snake demon lunged at him in anger as he only managed to slash at its torso, but──
"You're too big."
Dozens of swords pierced through the snake demon's head. Some of Kang Jin-sung's cloned Star Iron Swords had killed the Snake Demon.
"Thank you!"
Koo Dae-sung thanked Kang Jin-sung for his help, who is too busy fighting at the forefront, but is urged back by a crotchety old man.
"Hurry up, you're falling behind!"
"Ahem!"
Koo Dae-sung gripped the reins tightly, making sure that the Man-At-Arms were following him, and gradually made his way toward the main camp.
The distance was about 800 meters.
'We can do it, if we get a little closer, we'll be able to get the protection of the Holy Knights!'
If so, Man at Arms' combat power would be multiplied several times but there was one thing he had overlooked──
[Chaos Aura]
◆Effect: Weakness, Chaos, Eeriness, Confusion, Tetanus, Screaming, Fear, Horror, Confusion, Despair, Flesh Corruption, Mind Corruption, Soul Corruption────
There are no Holy Knight's buffs on this battlefield.
"Eh?!"
A nightmarish curse that becomes clearer as they enter the battlefield and get closer to Rakshar. It was a debuff so powerful that even the two S-class Hunters were weakened.
"Where the hell are Lord Vulcanus and Queen Beatrice?!"
He thought that by coming here, he would be protected by allies but instead a nightmarish curse slows him down.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!"
The first to fall were the North Korean Hunters.
They don't believe in God. Unlike the TTG Temple members, who can maintain their faith in this nightmarish space, the North Koreans' patriotism has been shattered by the presence of evil.
And on this battlefield, even a moment's hesitation can bring death.
-Ki Yi Yun!
"Ah, no!"
The moment he stops, the demons grab his arm. Dragged away in an instant, he becomes the plaything of the grotesque demons, torn limb from limb.
"Don't hesitate, we're joining the main body now!"
Koo Dae-Sung shouted as he grabbed the North Korean Hunter who had just been snatched up by the demon's tentacles and dragged him away.
He ran, half-forced by the horse, but the elite Hunter barely managed to keep up with the horse's stride.
"Ow!"
"Help!"
But when Koo Dae-sung managed to save one, three North Korean hunters were dragged away and killed.
"He's too heavy!"
"Even if the armor holds up, my body can't!"
The efficacy of the Star Iron Armor was enormous even at this moment. The sheer defense alone was enough to resist, but their bodies were collapsing from the debuffs.
With their naturally low specs, there was a clear limit to what their armor could overcome.
-Craaaaaaah!
A club wielded by a huge troll leaping from the flank.
"Block!"
The five of them work as one to block the club, but with a dizzying crash, the five of them collapse in unison.
"What the---!"
Koo Dae-sung was about to turn his horse's head and make a counter charge to rescue them when------
-Papapap!
An arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the troll's head. It was Lee Yong-wan.
"Allies are coming in! Take cover!"
Yong-wan and the Ranged Hunters, who had spotted their approach from the building, fired their bows, and their precise fire support saved the Man-At-Arms.
"Damn it! That's a lot of them! More firepower! Shoot them in the eye!"
-Giggles!
Yong-wan's shout was answered by the center of the main force. It was the Kikiruks, who had mobilized most of their warriors for this battle.
They pointed their carapace cannons, which were manufactured to fit their giant carapaces, and fired like mortars.
-Shhhhhhhhh!
A parabolic barrage of shells flew through the air and landed.
-Bang! Bam!
-Quack! Kwaang!
The Kikiruk warriors were skilled at artillery support. They fired only at the clusters of monsters, then stopped when they became concerned for their own men.
And the moment the bombardment became more frequent──
"Charge, forward!!!"
The Knights of Naju, led by Chun So-yeon, push through the gap.
The distance between them is 600 meters, but it's been punctured by precision sniper support from tall buildings and artillery fire from the Kikiruks.
The demons in the middle of the two armies were pinned down.
"Break through!"
And a disorganized, clumsy army is easy prey for the Knights.
By the time the demons and monsters, still recovering from the aftermath of the bombardment, realized their approach with the crunching of their steeds on the asphalt, it was too late.
Legion Technique <Wedge Charge>.
The sound of flesh being torn apart and bouncing back echoed murderously as they collided.
Koo Dae-sung shouted in excitement as he saw the enemy jumping up with a popping sound.
"Allies are coming! Let's push a little harder!"
Man-At-Arms, as well as the crumbling North Korean army, regain their senses and run like the soles of their feet.
They reach a point where they recognize each other.
"Hunter Koo Dae-sung! Hunter Kim Dohan!"
"Ha, Deputy Han Ha-ri!"
The knights of the TTG Temple recognize each other by their old titles, and just as they are about to join each other with the momentum of their run──
[Foolish bastards, it was a mistake to move the knights to save those guys.]
In the middle ground where the two armies meet a magic circle is carved in the air above the place where demons and monsters are still mixed together.
Standard bombing magic exerts lethal power in situations where it is impossible to warn of danger in a chaotic battlefield and with radio communications blocked.
The Archdemon of Wisdom unleashed a massive bombardment on the Knights and the Man-At-Arms.
