Through Trene’s activities, the cause of the infinite resurrection of the undead was discovered.

But in reality, it is hanging on the castle wall far away.

In the end, it means that you have to go through all the undead and the concentrated barrage of interception magic coming from the castle to get there.

“Wait. Let’s take a shot.”

At that time, people using long-range weapons such as bows or guns attempted to attack the strangely shaped totem.

But the result.

Grumble!

The blocking magic of the demons in the castle stopped, and a wall of blue flame suddenly rose up, blocking the bullets and arrows.

Even though it was fired with magic power by hunters of rank A or higher, it was unable to penetrate the thick and huge wall and just burned up and disappeared.

“Fuck, come out! I do it…!”

At that time, an S-rank hunter called the ‘magic bullet’ came out in China.

The nickname “Magic Bullet Marksman” was given to him because he freely manipulates magical bullets.

The hunters expected that he would definitely be able to reach the totem.

Taang─ Shiririk~

The bullet, flying like a giant wasp in free flight, crossed the huge wall of blue flames and reached near the totem in an instant.

but…

“You’re showing some tricks.”

Isn’t it a blue devil in a tailcoat who suddenly appears from nowhere and catches the bullet?

“…!”

Although it can be controlled freely, magic bullets have low power.

I was caught by the A-rank special gate boss.

“Ugh…!”

Fu shoot!

However, the magic bullet gunner did not give in and concentrated his magic power again, piercing the guy’s hand and pulling the bullet out again.

“Oh my gosh.”

Even though a bullet pierced his hand, the devil in a tailcoat was relaxed.

“This… this is a bit of an annoying attack.”

Suddenly, a huge, grotesquely twisted arm sprouted out from the back of the guy who said that.

I caught the flying bullet again.

And then a blue flame burned brightly in his hand, and the bullet disappeared into ashes.

“…Hmph, they think I’m an S-rank hunter for no reason.”

At that time, the magic gunner fired as many as seven bullets.

The seven bullets were steered in completely different directions to attack so that there was absolutely no defense.

But then.

“7? It’s enemy.”

Fuwaaak!

Ten more gigantic, grotesquely twisted corpse arms sprouted from its back, blocking bullets coming from all directions.

“Is this the end?”

Seeing his grinning expression, the magic bullet gunner looked devastated.

“Well…”

Even the S-rank gate boss does not have such powerful special abilities.

Is it different because he is a devil after all? Or is that devil special?

The hunters were demoralized when they saw that.

How did they figure out how to come back to life indefinitely and remove the wall of undead that blocks them?

I was worried that I would be able to kill that demon even if I broke through this wall.

That devil who fools even S-rank hunters.

It did not remain in their minds that the gate that was currently crashing was A rank.

I thought I might be dealing with an S-rank gate, maybe even higher.

Will they be able to stop them?

Kwasik!

But then.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking was heard from behind the devil in a tailcoat.

“Hmm…?”

The devil seemed to have no idea what it was, so he tilted his head and looked back.

But surprisingly, the totem was smashed.

…It was crushed with hands as red as blood.

“Wow… the distance is far, so it’s a little difficult.”

And a voice coming from the sky.

It was Trene.

She summoned the Hand of Blood with pinpoint and set off the totem.

“Ugh…”

It may be because the distance was far and visibility was not properly secured.

Due to the aftereffects of consuming her magic power in an instant, she fell to the ground without being able to fly properly.

“Tren!”

As she fell from the sky, Park Ji-hoon ran to catch her.

“It was crazy. Best play of the year.”

“Hehe… Who else would do it if not this body?”

When Jihoon Park gave a thumbs up and praised him, Trene smiled and nodded.

Because she had already used a large skill over a long distance, it seemed like she would have to leave the battlefield for a while to recover her strength.

After sending her to subspace so that she could rest comfortably, Park Ji-hoon shouted to his allies.

“The totem was destroyed! Wipe out all the undead!”

“Oooooh!”

Of course, before Park Ji-hoon shouted, the hunters who were watching the whole situation had already started cutting down the undead.

As expected, the totem was probably the problem, as the undead that had been properly cut down could never move again.

Of course, it still has the strong vitality unique to the undead, and if its head or weak point is not properly destroyed or treated with silver plating or light attribute magic, it will get up and attack again.

Like before, it came back to life infinitely and couldn’t be blocked like a wall.

As time goes by, the number of undead decreases, and hunters move forward.

“…Dare, dare.”

The devil in a tailcoat trembled at the sight and glared at Park Ji-hoon, Trene’s owner.

“What are you looking at, you dirty pepper.”

Park Ji-hoon saw that and frowned together.

To him, male monsters were useless other than killing them.

So, they wipe out the undead and try to charge into the castle with victory in their hands.

“Sacrifice, Cole.”

The devil in a tailcoat frowned and said something.

At that time, a devil came fluttering away.

“Uh, that is…”

It was the Hwadoksan guild’s attack team that had entered another A-rank gate that recognized the identity of the flying devil.

“You’re the gate boss.”

The identity of the devil was the boss of the gate they entered.

Seeing that there were two gate bosses, the hunters started to get nervous.

However, a sight that the hunters could not have imagined unfolded before their eyes.

A devil in a tailcoat grabbed the head of the gate boss called Cole.

Kwasik!

Wouldn’t it be like crushing the head and exploding it?

“What, what?”

“Is it internal division?”

But that didn’t mean the gate boss obediently flew over and caught his head.

What on earth is going on?

The answer was soon known.

…in its worst form.

Slurp─

The dead demon’s body slowly disintegrated and formed a new form in the tailcoat demon’s hands, which were dripping with blood.

It’s like…

“Totem, totem…”

It was the totem that hung on the castle wall.

The true nature of the totem is that it is obtained by sacrificing a higher level demon.

To hit the wall of undead again, the tailcoat demon sacrificed his comrade.

Kuddeuk!

Behind the hunters running towards the castle.

A creepy sound was heard.

“Kwoaaar!”

“Keueeek!”

The horrible infinite resurrection undead were revived again.

“Fuck, retreat! Retreat!”

The hunters looked like they were surrounded from front and back.

The words came out to make a hasty retreat.

The hunters hastily dispersed and retreated in a hopeless situation.

“Familiar horses! Quickly retreat to subspace!”

Park Ji-hoon shouted like that and threw Shin Ji-yeon and Chen Mei into subspace.

Fortunately, because the situation was chaotic, no one saw the scene.

There were some people who were captured by the undead army and died while retreating, but because of the totem, they were unable to chase them beyond a certain range.

They were able to escape to their temporary base without much sacrifice.

#

“Fuck! Those bastards, was that the totem they were hiding!”

“In addition, if a high-ranking demon sacrifices, it will reappear… In theory, you need to destroy two more from now on.”

The boss of the third gate has already become a totem, and the boss of the first gate is presumed to be still alive.

Aside from the tailcoat demon, there is still one more demon left that can become a totem, so there are two more totems that need to be destroyed.

The only one who can properly target and destroy it is Trene, but she is currently resting because she has consumed too much magic power and blood.

No matter how I recover and then target again, this time they will definitely take measures to deal with the bloody hand.

“…sigh.”

“Phew…”

In such a hopeless situation, the hunters could only sigh.

So much power was gathered, but they couldn’t even fight properly.

If we were to fight head-on on the plateau, there would still be a chance.

Even if you break through the wall of the undead, there is a huge castle wall in front of you, and when the undead are resurrected, you are surrounded by the castle wall and the wall of the undead and are in a fight.

It was even more difficult because it was not an ancient society and none of them had proper experience in siege warfare.

But then.

“Everyone was here.”

Someone entered the temporary base conference room.

“Feng Leyu Hunter?”

He was none other than Hunter Feng Leyu, who cleared the first gate with great sacrifice.

Of course, the gate exploded after that, so he was also a hunter who had some suspicious circumstances.

“…Sorry for being late. I will explain everything.”

He took on a serious mood and slowly began to explain the situation when he entered the gate.

His words were truly shocking.

In fact, it is said that he did not clear the gate, but survived by begging the guys for his life.

“I told them that I would become an ally if they let me live. They probably wanted me because I was an S-rank hunter, so they saved me.”

When he said that, the Hunters shot him down for daring to abandon humanity and join the devil.

But after hearing the next words, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

“Of course it was a lie to survive. And… I thought I needed information in case these terribly strong demons came over here.”

In other words, he risked his life to become a spy.

“When it first came out, I was so nervous that I couldn’t explain it properly. I also had to get treatment.”

It was a little strange, but it couldn’t be helped.

I decide to just move on.

And to question such things, the information he obtained was much needed by the hunters right now.

“…Totem. There is a totem that can infinitely resurrect the undead.”

This is what even hunters know up to this point.

But next was the main thing.

“The totem is created by sacrificing a higher demon. It seemed like he was a rank A or higher demon. And that… there is a limit to horsepower.”

“Limits?”

That means that there is a limit to resurrecting the undead.

“Yes, and there are limits to summoning demons and undead. I heard that the maximum is 1000 undead and 200 demons. So if you want to fight them…”

It must be a long-term war and a war of attrition.

“…I see. If you chip away at it little by little, you will eventually reach your limit and be able to catch them!”

“Oooh! Feng Leyu Hunter! This is truly a great achievement!”

The fact that a breakthrough was finally in sight, the hunters didn’t even notice that Feng Leyu was smiling faintly.

was having fun
