28. The Third Tower. (2)

Zombies and skeletons were coming towards us. They were moving slowly, but a huge number of them appeared before our eyes.

The zombie, approaching with rotten flesh and giving off a foul odor, made a ‘groaning’ sound as it approached.

There were a lot of skeletons that you would expect to see in a game. Guys holding swords made of bones or carrying bows.

And among those guys, some peculiar-looking creatures caught my eye.

In the case of the zombies, there was a large entity with strangely large eyes looking at us.

In the case of the skeleton, a guy wearing a crown and carrying a huge hammer on his shoulder was slowly approaching on a horse made of bones.

” The giant on the zombie side, other than the Skeleton King… is someone I’ve never seen before. ”

” It doesn’t matter what comes out. I have to go to Yeonseo quickly! ”

I just ran towards the guys.

The low-intelligence guys were just blankly staring at my sudden action of coming in between them, but it was a giant zombie. Let’s call it ‘Gigant.’

The Gigant and the Skeleton King quickly began to move away from me.

” You’re quick-witted. ”

At the same time, a holy fire filled with divine power spread out from my body in all directions, turning those nearby into pure white ash.

To be honest, I wasn’t confident when I heard the name Ark Richie. I mean, Jill herself.

Undead. Their worst enemy is… me.

The guys who were surprised to see their comrades burning in flames were unable to escape due to the wall of wind created by Hyunseok.

My flames and Hyunseok’s wind, which moved to burn the guys as they were, created a huge firestorm, and the countless undead that had been in front of us were no more.

Only the pure white ash remained, and it was blown far away by the cool night breeze.

As all of the men they had led disappeared, Gigant and the Skeleton King glared at us.

” Hyunseok, can you check if there are any guys left around? ”

” Are you trying to deal with it alone?! ”

” Yeah. Don’t worry. It’ll be over soon. ”

The guys were approaching me as they looked at my provocative words.

” Really… are you okay? ”

” Yeah. I’ll deal with those guys. I’ll warn the Arch Lich who controls them. If you touch my precious person… I’ll make you suffer the same fate. ”

” Okay. But if it’s dangerous, call me. Okay? ”

” Okay. Then I’ll ask you to take care of the surroundings. ”

Hyunseok used the wind to rise into the sky and started to look around, and I aimed Durandal at the guys.

” Alright. Come on! And tell your masters clearly. I’ll definitely… kill you! ”

*****

The moment I finished speaking, the guys started running towards me.

I thought Gigant was just a giant zombie, but the large eyes on its shoulders kept moving and watching me.

Then, soon, its body began to transform, two more arms began to grow from its shoulders, and its large eyes also became larger.

Both shoulders, knees, chest and back. A total of six large eyes took up residence on the creature’s body, and along with the growing arms, the four arms grew larger and larger, as if bones had grown.

Countless sharp bone thorns grew, and his jaw cracked open with a ‘cracking’ sound, tearing his mouth wide open.

” Kreeek!!!! ”

Gigant ran towards me, screaming louder than a human could make.

” I can do that too, right? [Hippogriff, Flamberg.] ”

I took out my wings and sword made of flames and held the sword using the wings that had grown from my back.

Now, the control of divine power has become perfect enough to use combinations of things created from flames in this way.

Just like the running Gigant, I ran towards him and used Durandal to stab the eye in his chest.

The arm that grew from the shoulder of the guy who was coming down on me was cut off with the sword held by the wing.

The guy seemed prepared for that level of damage and tried to grab me with his remaining two hands.

” [Atlantes] ”

He created a shield of flames with white feathers drawn on it in front of his hand and blew it up.

With a ‘bang! ‘ it exploded, and the flames that engulfed it burned away the guy’s remaining arm.

” [Ardvar!] Shoot! ”

He created twelve spears and fired them at the large eyeballs that were still on the guy’s body, then pulled out the Durandal he had stuck in his chest and stepped back.

The guy was pierced by the spear of flames like a hedgehog and was swallowed up by the flames that made up Ardvar, turning into black ash.

” With this… one is finished. Phew! ”

As if he had been waiting for me to fall, the Skeleton King rode behind me and swung a large hammer decorated with skulls. I quickly blocked his attack with the sword he was holding on his wings.

Since I couldn’t block the impact, I just rolled in the direction the guy swung the hammer.

As he watched me roll away, the guy got back on his horse and rode towards me.

” Hoo, is that how it comes out? Flamberg. Gluon! ”

He creates hundreds of swords of flame and absorbs them into Durandal to create a pure white blade called ‘Gluon’, and dodges the guy who runs towards him and swings his hammer at the same time.

He extended the blade and cut off all the legs of the horse the man was riding.

As the horse fell over and collapsed, the rider also began to roll, unable to overcome the speed.

” Ha! That looks great! ”

But as expected, a king is a king. The guy got up as if nothing had happened, and suddenly I felt a sense of oppression.

The guy’s eyes, which had been burning blue, suddenly turned red, and his face began to burn in flames.

Not only was his face burning, but his hammer was also engulfed in flames, as if I was breathing divine power into Durandal to create a blade of flame.

” So you can use it too? ”

Instead of answering me, he grabbed the hammer with both hands, lifted it up, and ran after me, kicking the ground hard.

I was surprised by the unexpected speed of the guy, but that was it.

I saw a hammer coming down vertically as if it was trying to crush me flat, and I took a slight step to the right, as if it was a difference of a sheet of paper.

After turning your body so that the tip of the sword is slanted towards the ground and the handle is positioned on your stomach.

I cut off the hand of the guy who had just struck me with a hammer from below.

Although it was a skeleton, it was wearing armor made of bones, but it had a blade made of Flamberg. The sharpness of Durandal, wrapped in ‘Gluon’, cut through it as easily as if cutting a tofu.

He held the sword tightly and cut the guy’s neck.

The face of the rolling guy just seemed to silently admit his defeat.

I called Hyunseok and ran towards Gwanghwamun. I cut down the skeleton soldiers and zombies guarding in front with the wind blade Hyunseok had created and then burned them with my flames.

So we passed through Gwanghwamun and entered the palace… a cold chill greeted us.

*****

” Hyunseok, this is… ”

” It’s because of Yeonseo’s ability… It’s cold air. ”

” Yeah… ”

Already, an army created by Yeonseo’s ability, which seemed to completely dominate Yeonseo, was gathered in front of us.

There were no more zombies to be seen, but the skeletons had turned blue and the weapons they were holding had blades made of ice… covered in ice.

” What should I do? ”

” What should I do… Just get rid of everything! ”

The moment I was about to run towards the guys, he grabbed my arm.

” Charlotte, can you leave this to me? ”

” What are you… trying to do…? ”

” It’s simple. After all, they’re all ice-enhanced. Like this. ”

The wind slowly gathered from Hyunseok’s hand and began to form into a larger sphere.

” Sparks here. ”

” Yeah. ”

Let’s slowly blow on the holy fire, a sphere of wind that burns and emits light like the sun.

” Photosphera. ”

After saying that, Hyunseok threw the ball towards the guys.

A sphere slowly flew towards the guys. Since the photosphere was made of wind, it started sucking the guys in and the guys just melted away due to the holy fire.

” How is it? Isn’t it neat? ”

His smile seemed proud

” Yeah, it’s nice and clean. ”

I also answered with a smile.

As the legions disappeared in front of us, we moved again and passed through Hyeongnyemun Gate to see Geunjeongjeon Hall.

There… appeared Yeonseo, wearing a black dress made of thin fabric, and Archrich, wearing a black robe and spewing sky-colored flames from his body.

Yeonseo’s skin was dyed purple, and here and there… sky-colored… strange patterns were engraved, giving off a captivating aura.

Arkrich grabbed her left hand with a boney hand.

The appearance of the two… was like… a couple getting married.

Hyunseok and I, who witnessed that scene, didn’t say anything.

We just quickly approached them, destroying them one by one as they blocked our path.

I saw that sight and made up my mind.

Arkrich, who made Yeonseo like that.

I’m going to make that guy suffer so much that I’ll destroy him.

I will never forgive the guy who did that to a child who has someone he loves.
