Battle of the Marquis of Trenda

Hantes shouted.

“Magic-severing sword, Diareshte! I trust only you!”

As a massive number of dark tentacle spears crashed down on the humans, the sounds of collisions, human screams, and shouts echoed everywhere.

One soldier and his horse were impaled, and then burst as tentacles grew inside them.

Another knight charged forward, slashing at the tentacle spears with an aura-infused sword, chachachachachachang.

“Euaaaaah! I am Vent, a knight of Count Hantes-nim!”

But as a tentacle spear pierced the horse’s neck, the horse exploded, and the knight, propelled by inertia, flew through the air only to be impaled and burst as well.

A priest-knight cast a Holy Barrier in front of him, but the barrage of black tentacle spears gradually cracked the barrier until it shattered.

The priest screamed as five spears pierced his body.

“Kkyaaaaak! Goddess Elia-nim….”

The humans fought fiercely, enduring countless sacrifices, deflecting the dark tentacle spears and advancing forward.

Hantes and Matthias were unmatched.

As Hantes extended his beloved sword Diareshte forward, the approaching dark tentacle spears touched the tip of Diareshte and split apart, vanishing.

However, a new dark tentacle spear pierced the leg of his beloved horse, causing it to fall.

U-dangtangtang

Hantes fell to the ground, rolling as he shouted.

“Keuek! It’s not over yet!”

Hantes rose again, brandishing Diareshte and charging towards the Demon King.

The dark tentacle spears vanished as soon as they touched Diareshte.

Matthias, too, spun his beloved spear Fortia like a windmill to protect himself and his horse Tez from the dark tentacle spears.

But one tentacle spear pierced Tez’s right front hoof.

Tez cried out sorrowfully.

“Hiiiing!”

Tentacles grew from Tez’s right front leg, causing it to explode.

Matthias jumped off his horse, landing forward and wailing in anguish.

“Tez! No!”

Tears streamed from the eyes of Matthias’s beloved horse Tez as it looked at Matthias with a pitiful gaze.

“Hiiiing…”

Additional dark tentacle spears flew towards Matthias and Tez.

Matthias spun his beloved spear Fortia like a windmill in front of Tez, blocking the dark tentacle spears.

But as the number of remaining humans dwindled, the black tentacle spears concentrated on each individual.

Eventually, one dark tentacle spear pierced Tez’s belly, causing it to explode.

Tears of sorrow streamed from Matthias’s eyes.

Matthias called out to his beloved horse mournfully.

“Tez!”

Matthias’s beloved horse Tez, whom he had received as a gift when he was 14 and with whom he had shared many adventures, had died.

Hantes called out to Matthias resolutely.

“Matthias! We can’t stop yet! We must defeat that Demon!”

Matthias spun his beloved spear Fortia like a windmill, deflecting the dark tentacle spears, and roared in fury towards the Demon King.

“Kuaaaaaah! I will kill only you!”

Now, all the cavalry and horses were dead, and only Hantes, Matthias, and 17 knights and nobles were struggling to deflect the endlessly firing dark tentacle spears, taking one step at a time forward.

Chaeng chaeng chang kwagang chaeeaaeng

Then, another noble was struck in the calf by a black tentacle spear with a scream of Euak, stopping in his tracks, and turned into blood as dozens of black tentacle spears pierced his body.

Ahead, the Demon King on a wooden structure and dozens of tentacle monsters beneath him were waiting.

Hantes shouted to Matthias in a voice full of determination.

“Great heroes always face trials! Just like at the old Orc village, let’s create a legend together, you and I!”

Matthias replied with eyes swollen from crying over Tez’s death.

“I will make sure that when my children come out someday, I can laugh about the pain we’re going through now! Let’s all hang in there!”

The surrounding 16 knights and nobles, struggling through the rain of dark tentacle spears, roared.

“Uwaaaaaa!”

“We can do it!”

“My axe Kalidor, I trust only you!”

A knight who had been a mage was hit by a dark tentacle spear, his head flying off, presumably because he had run out of mana.

Now, only the warriors who could deflect the endlessly firing dark tentacle spears with their weapons remained.

They were approaching the Demon King step by step.

Chang chachachang kwagagang chaeeaaeng

Then, the Demon King lowered his hand, and the rain of dark tentacles stopped.

The remaining human heroes cheered and charged forward.

“Uwa! That bastard’s mana is gone!”

The Demon King opened his mouth and exclaimed.

“Hoo! I acknowledge your bravery.”

But it wasn’t over yet.

Dozens of tentacles emerged from the Demon King’s belly, and dark mana gathered and merged, firing an enormously thick mana cannon at them.

Jiiiiiiiiing

Hantes grabbed his beloved sword Diareshte with both hands, raised it in front of him, and shouted.

“Everyone, stand behind me!”

As Matthias quickly stood behind Hantes, the massive dark mana cannon collided with Hantes’s beloved sword.

The moment it touched the blade of Diareshte, the dark mana cannon split into two, flying to either side of Hantes and obliterating the ground and surroundings in real-time with a deafening roar of kwagagagagang.

Hantes screamed in agony, enduring the pressure of the dark mana cannon fired by the Demon King with his beloved sword Diareshte.

“Kkeuaaaaak! The pressure is immense!”

Hantes’s hands were tearing from the pressure of enduring the mana cannon with his sword, and his fingers were about to break.

The veins in Hantes’s hands, wrists, and forearms bulged, and his skin tore, scattering blood.

The 13 knights and nobles who had failed to evade the mana cannon had already been obliterated.

Only Matthias and three heroes remained behind Hantes.

Matthias encouraged Hantes.

“Hantes! You can do it! I’ll help you!”

Matthias grabbed Hantes’s trembling left hand tightly with his left hand, which wasn’t holding his spear, to help him endure.

The other heroes shouted as well.

“We will help too!”

One hero grabbed Hantes’s right hand tightly with his right hand.

The remaining two heroes pushed Hantes’s back with both hands.

The five heroes combined their strength to cleave through the dark mana cannon, advancing forward step by step.

Hantes’s hands were already irreparably twisted and broken, but he didn’t let go of his sword.

Because his comrades and subordinates who believed in him were by his side.

The heroes encouraged Hantes.

“Everyone will remember Count Hantes-nim’s bravery!”

“I will never forget Count Hantes-nim’s courage for the rest of my life!”

Matthias added.

“Hantes! I’m glad you’re here!”

As they reached the front of the tentacle elite troops, the dark mana cannon stopped.

The Demon King clapped his hands and admired them.

Jjak jjak jjak

“I pay my respects to your strength.”

Now, the tentacle elite troops charged.

The detachment that had started with 352 humans and 352 horses now had only five veteran heroes left.

There was no retreat for those who had come this far.

Hantes’s bones turned to dust, and his hand fell, Diareshte dropping to the ground.

Hantes knelt down and said to the heroes.

“Go quickly. Pierce the heart of that Demon King.”

The remaining three heroes besides Matthias used their last bit of life force, wildly swinging their weapons and slaughtering the tentacle elite troops.

“I am Locke, a knight of a family that has served Count Hantes-nim for generations! Matthias-nim! Pierce the heart of that arrogant Demon and uphold the faith of my lord!”

A massive aura emanated from the sword of the old knight Locke, who was in his late 40s.

As Locke swung from top to bottom, five tentacle elite troops were split in half at once, their fluids splattering everywhere.

Matthias expressed his gratitude and charged forward.

“Thank you! Locke!”

Matthias ran along the path created by the three heroes, holding his beloved spear Fortia and shouting.

“Euaaaaaaaa! I will kill only you!”

Locke fought valiantly, but perhaps due to his age, his stamina was waning, and his sword slowed for a moment.

A tentacle wrapped around Locke’s wrist and spewed acidic fluid, melting his wrist away.

Locke grabbed the melted part of his wrist with his other hand, enveloped his body in aura, and charged at the tentacle elite troops.

“I offer my life here!”

Locke collided with the tentacle elite troops, and with a sound of kwaaaaang, the tentacle elite troops exploded peong peong.

Locke was also engulfed in the acidic fluid of the tentacle elite troops and melted away.

Locke’s sacrifice opened the path to the Demon King.

As Matthias ran and reached the stairs below the wooden structure, he drew out the power of his beloved spear Fortia.

“Fortia! Activate the spear that pierces when it thrusts!”

As Matthias kissed his beloved spear Fortia, all the runes on Fortia’s spearhead shone brightly, and an energy that twisted causality began to swirl around Fortia.

Matthias climbed the stairs of the wooden structure to reach the Demon King, thrusting his beloved spear Fortia.

The Demon King pulled out dozens of weapon tentacles from his belly to deflect Fortia.

But Fortia was a spear that twisted causality to pierce when it thrust.

Dozens of weapon-shaped tentacles deflected Fortia, but by the time the Demon King regained his senses, the spear was already embedded near his heart.

The Demon King spat out blood.

“Kkulkeok. Kkulkeok. To run all the way here and pierce my heart….”

Behind him, the Demon women screamed in surprise.

“Kkyaaaaaaa!”

“Shin-nim! No!”

The tentacle elite troops roared and tried to rush towards the Demon King, but the remaining two heroes fought fiercely.

Hantes, kneeling with his hands hanging limply, looked at Matthias and wore a faint smile on his face.

“I believed in you. Friend.”

Fortia’s ability activated near the Demon King’s heart, engulfing the Demon King in flames.

Matthias said.

“This is the power of me and my comrades. Demon King.”

—

I, Kyle, attacked the humans running towards me, but they didn’t die as quickly as I thought.

The blonde guy had my magic-severing sword, which made it even harder.

The blonde guy fought hard and eventually, including the blonde guy, five people reached the tentacle elite troops.

The remaining bastards fought hard, and eventually, the blue-haired guy stabbed me with a spear.

I blocked it with my weapon tentacles, but the runes on the spearhead shone, and when I regained my senses, the spear was already stuck in my heart.

‘Aish. It hurts.’

Blood kkulkeok came out of my mouth, but I don’t die from this much.

Because, although my exterior is in human form, I have no heart or brain inside.

The only way to kill me is to shatter me or tear me apart.

I grabbed the blue-haired guy’s shoulders with both hands and spewed acidic fluid, melting his shoulders away.

The blue-haired guy looked at me with terrified eyes and screamed.

“Kkeuaaaaak! What! Why aren’t you dying!”

I scoffed and told him.

“Puhehehehehe. I don’t have a heart, you see. And I’m immune to fire. Ah, ssang. You’re causing soot on the roof of my house because of you.”

As Matthias’s arms disappeared, the mana of the owner heading towards the beloved spear Fortia was cut off, and the flames burning my body also disappeared.

I pulled out Fortia and threw it behind me, and a Demon woman received it and placed it respectfully on the bed.

Matthias roared with eyes full of anger.

“Euaaaa! I hate you! Euak!”

Tears streamed down the face of Hantes, who was watching everything.

“Damn it! Damn it! To think there’s an existence that surpasses our expectations….”

The two heroes who had been fighting hard below also exhausted all their strength and were surrounded by the tentacle elite troops and died.

I punched the blue-haired guy in the temple, knocking him unconscious.

I commanded.

“Knock out that guy sitting over there too.”

The blue-haired guy and the blonde guy seemed like pretty impressive guys, so I knocked them out and tied them up to keep them as prisoners.

The Demon women approached me with worried faces.

“Shin-nim…. The wound on your chest….”

One woman even cried.

I walked over and sat on the sofa looking at the battlefield and instructed.

“Bring the corpses.”

The Demon women brought the corpses, and I chewed them up and ate them.

As I ate the corpses of the strong warriors, my chest gradually recovered and filled, and soon the wound disappeared completely.

I threw the remaining corpses out of the mobile home, and the tentacle elite troops received and ate them.

I instructed the Demon women.

“I’m getting muscle aches from fighting after so long. Massage me.”

The Demon women massaged my body again.

One woman came between my legs and rubbed her face against my dick.

I gave orders to the rear army.

“Tie the prisoners to poles, carry them, and advance forward!”

Two tentacle elite troops in front of me each carried poles with the blue-haired guy and the blonde guy tied to them unconscious, approaching the castle.

Behind them, the rear army and my mobile home advanced forward deureureureu.

—

On the walls of Trenda Marquis’s castle, close combat was raging, and the gate had been destroyed, with tentacle elite troops and Demon soldiers pouring into the castle.

Trenda Marquis was also fighting with a famous spear, though not as good as his own Fortia.

In the eyes of Trenda Marquis, he saw the Demon King approaching him, sitting on the sofa on the wooden structure.

And Trenda Marquis saw his armless son tied to the pole in front of him and let out a miserable scream.

“Matthias!! No!!”

He had sent the most outstanding knights and nobles as a detachment, but the Demon King was still alive and well, and they had lost their best forces.

Trenda Marquis sensed the defeat of this battle.

But what pained Trenda Marquis’s heart was the miserable appearance of his beloved son.

As Trenda Marquis jumped off the castle walls, the knights and soldiers shouted urgently.

“Marquis-nim! You can’t!”

“We must protect Marquis-nim! We’re going too!”

Trenda Marquis ran with his spear and stood before the Demon King.
