Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 387
# 387
A Divine Move (2)
-Kuo-ooo!
The Bone Dragon’s Fear [an aura that induces terror] is emitted continuously. However, the Bone Dragon’s Fear only exerts its power on living beings.
It didn’t have much effect on the undead. Of course, it can instill fear in mid- to high-level undead with high intelligence.
Vampires, for example, are paralyzed when they hear the Fear.
However…….
Ironically, low- to mid-level undead don’t even flinch when they hear the Bone Dragon’s Fear.
They are beings without fear in the first place.
So, what fear are we talking about?
Therefore, the Bone Dragon and the Steel Golem Daganda Z had to fight the undead with only their physical abilities.
“Ah, I’m tired.”
The Lich Mamon clicked his tongue as well.
In this battle, he clearly understood the weaknesses of the Bone Dragon and the Steel Golem Daganda Z.
The Bone Dragon was a target of terror for wizards due to its absolute magic resistance.
But surprisingly, it is weak against physical attacks.
If they attack with numbers like this, even the Bone Dragon would have no answer.
As they kept hitting and dying, hitting and dying, the Bone Dragon’s body was gradually breaking down.
Which will break first, the Bone Dragon’s dragon bones or their numbers?
The probability of the Bone Dragon being finished off was much higher.
Also, the Bone Dragon had no proper attack route other than breath and tail swing.
The three breaths it could use were already exhausted. It had blown away at least 1,000 undead without a trace, but the enemies still remained endlessly.
The charged mana was also bottoming out.
The Bone Dragon, annoyed, was continuously spewing Fear and just swinging its tail.
Each time, about 10 undead were smashed and scattered into the air.
The situation of Daganda Z was not much different.
Daganda Z has absolute physical resistance. Naturally, it was considered incompatible with the undead, whose main attack was only physical strikes.
Every time Daganda Z kicked, dozens of undead died.
But Mamon overlooked something.
That mid- to high-level undead with intelligence use dark magic.
Simply put, look at himself.
Doesn’t the Lich use black magic using enormous mana?
So did they.
Hundreds of magical attacks flew and struck Daganda Z.
That huge body swayed from side to side. It almost fell several times.
In case of such a situation, he had engraved magical runes all over Daganda Z’s steel shell.
It was already exhausted.
The Bone Dragon and Daganda Z are different from Mamon. He continues to resurrect as long as the Legion doesn’t die.
But the Bone Dragon and Daganda Z are finished when they die.
Of course, if their broken bodies remain intact, the Shuttle can revive the Bone Dragon, and Bide can fix Daganda Z.
However, it was impossible to move those huge broken things on the battlefield.
If he made a mistake, he could lose his ultimate weapons, the Bone Dragon and Daganda Z.
That wouldn’t do.
He wouldn’t be able to defeat Dreize if that happened.
It was unacceptable for Mamon, who was burning with the will to regain second place.
“This is a disaster.”
Mamon’s mana was also dropping rapidly.
Mamon’s specialty is debuffs and curses.
Just standing still causes the physical abilities of humans to plummet.
But the opponent is the undead.
His debuff ability was useless against them. As a result, a significant portion of Mamon’s combat ability was reduced.
“This is driving me crazy.”
Mamon, the Bone Dragon, and Daganda Z were gradually pushed back by the attacks of the enormous number of undead.
He couldn’t ask for anyone’s help.
The Bone Dragon and Daganda Z are giant weapons. There was a high possibility that allies would be caught up in their attacks.
So, they were fighting at a distance from the allies. They could pour out attacks coolly, but conversely, they couldn’t receive anyone’s help.
If they were cornered, they would be finished.
It was then.
The morale of the allies suddenly increased.
“What, what is it?”
Mamon looked in the direction of the allies. They were all looking at the sky.
Mamon’s gaze followed the direction the allies were looking.
There…….
“Damn it. This is making me tear up…….”
A Wyvern squadron of 500 was descending rapidly.
Wyvern breath was fired from the mouths of all the Wyverns.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
In an instant, the undead in the back were blown away. The undead were seen panicking in the sudden situation.
Above their heads, a fully armed ogre corps jumped down.
The undead’s cadaveric poison is deadly.
Especially for humans.
But their teeth cannot penetrate the thick skin of the ogres. The undead and humans may be natural enemies, but it didn’t work for ogres.
Like a badger eating a viper.
The ogres who jumped into the middle of the undead attacked the undead randomly based on their powerful bodies.
Ogres are poison to low- to mid-level undead. They are crushed without even resisting properly.
Swaaaaaaak!
It wasn’t the end.
The Wyverns’ aerial bombardment continued without rest.
The Bone Dragon’s breath blows away a certain area all at once. So, it couldn’t shoot towards the allies.
On the other hand, the Wyverns’ breath is much weaker than the Bone Dragon’s breath.
Instead, pinpoint strikes are possible.
About 10 undead disappear with one shot.
500 Wyvern breaths poured down from the sky to the ground without rest.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
“Counterattack! Now is the best opportunity to blow them away! Ogres too! Wyverns also have limits to their stamina. We must reverse the situation before their stamina runs out!”
Unlike usual, the Legion, who had been silently blocking the undead until now, shouted to his subordinates through amplification magic.
“Do you want to go to Las Vegas!”
“Yessss!”
“Do you want to play with pretty girls in bikinis without your wife knowing!”
“Yessssss!”
“Do you want to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with your own hands!”
“Yessssss!”
“Then charge! Beyond that undead army are those girls!”
“Yessssss!”
The Legion troops have been retreating repeatedly until now. The number of casualties is also enormous.
Of course, it was a drop in the bucket compared to other units, but it was true that it exceeded the Legion’s expectations.
But if they hesitated here, they would be neither dead nor alive.
It was time to squeeze out the strength they had when they were breastfeeding and move forward.
“Let’s go!”
The Legion began to run forward, taking the lead.
“Flame Rain!”
The 8-circle magic explodes. More than thousands of fire rains fall in front of him.
A considerable number of undead were hit by the fire rain and exploded.
He had been saving his mana until now.
The number of undead was so large that even if he used all of his high-circle magic, he couldn’t handle them all.
But now there was no need to do that.
It was the last chance.
It was time to smash them with all his might.
“Haaaaaaap!”
“Honey! I’m sorry! I’m going to Las Vegas!”
“Jane! I’ll marry you after I go to Las Vegas!”
They didn’t know.
That they would have their wedding expenses completely *털리고* [cleaned out] in Las Vegas, where they went on vacation.
That’s later.
The Legion troops went through the center of the undead army. The momentum was so great that any mediocre undead were crushed as soon as they blocked the way.
Watching the Legion troops, Baserabab took a breath. He cast the final buff towards the allies.
“Let’s vote!”
The morale of the allies, which had cooled down for a moment, revives. Suddenly, this thought comes to mind: Yes, as one of the sovereign, I have to vote.
Baserabab looked at Duke Knuckle, who barely survived, and said.
“It’s the right time. Aren’t you going?”
“Ah. I’m sorry. I have to go. I have to go.”
Duke Knuckle nodded with half his soul gone. But his face was full of fear.
How could he, who pretended to be noble, have experienced such a battle?
The battlefield had long turned into a hell. In such a place, just standing there makes you want to die. After today, many soldiers may not be able to escape from the terrible trauma.
But that’s later.
If they can’t reverse the current situation, they can’t even fall into trauma.
Clap!
Baserabab clapped in front of Duke Knuckle’s eyes.
Only then does Duke Knuckle’s focus return. He looked around. He seemed to realize where he was.
“You are the commander of the Central Army. Can you just be spacing out like this?”
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
“I’ll say it again, now is the best time. Count Legion has reversed the situation. Conversely, if it’s not now, the situation will be reversed again. Do you know what that means?”
Total annihilation.
Or total undead.
Whatever it was, only hell remained.
Duke Knuckle nodded briefly. He ordered his adjutant to reorganize the troops.
Taking a breath, the soldiers quickly regained their composure.
They also know that there is no way to escape. They also know that they can only live by breaking through the place where the undead are swarming.
The soldiers gritted their teeth.
“Everyone! Charge!”
“Charge!”
Waaaaaaaaaa!
80,000 survivors.
A whopping 100,000 lives disappeared here.
But if there is something to lose, there is also something to gain.
Although it was a short war, they grew into proper soldiers.
“Let’s gooooo!”
A magnificent sight unfolded.
The total offensive of 80,000 troops.
The ground rumbled and the sky was surprised.
The soldiers who gritted their teeth collided with the undead army that was panicking.
It is true that there are still far more undead in the undead army.
But the high-ranking undead who act as commanders could not erase from their minds the fact that they were being attacked from the front and back.
“Hoo, is it my role from now on.”
Baserabab rode his horse to the side of the Gongwang army [Royalist army]. In the sudden crisis, the Gongwang army and the Gukwang army [Nationalist army] were mixed together, but they were not tangled in confusion.
Like a belt of water and oil, they were clearly gathered on one side.
Baserabab and the three guardian mages entered the Gongwang army’s side, but they did not block them.
It wasn’t a look of hatred or anger.
Well, they wouldn’t have time for that.
“Where is the commander?”
Baserabab asked a knight. The knight pointed the sword he was holding at Baserabab and lowered it.
He doesn’t seem to be without thought. If the Great Sage Baserabab was thinking of attacking, he wouldn’t have come in this shape.
“If you go further inside, you will find them.”
“Who should I look for as the commander?”
“Count Influenza and Count SARS are there.”
“Thank you.”
Baserabab went further inside as the knight said. The inside was a mess.
Wounded soldiers and knights were tied together and treated.
Dozens of priests were covered in blood and pouring out healing without rest.
Priests who lost their divine power and turned their eyes over and fainted also appeared in succession.
When the priests left, the medics stepped forward. They gritted their teeth and cut off the arms and legs of soldiers infected with the undead. The smell of cadaveric poison strongly spread from the cut arms and legs.
Baserabab approached Count Influenza and Count SARS.
They are familiar faces.
Once, they had a heated debate based on the opinion of which politician would benefit the kingdom.
Now they have become enemies because their political orientations are different.
“What brings you here?”
Count Influenza asked with a displeased expression. He didn’t like the fact that the enemy’s leaders had entered the heart of the allies.
“Let’s compromise.”
“Compromise?”
“Let’s postpone our political strife until tomorrow. Wouldn’t survival come first?”
“Are you saying we should join forces?”
“For now……. This suddenly appeared undead army……. Who do you think did it?”
“…….”
Count Influenza and Count SARS could not answer. The suddenly appeared undead army was a disaster in itself.
If the suddenly appeared Bone Dragon, Steel Golem, Ogre Corps, and Wyvern Corps had not appeared, the Gongwang army would have been suffocated and annihilated without even taking a breath.
I don’t know why those monster corps are helping us, but it was certain that they were not enemies.
“Who do you think summoned those spirits?”
“…….”
“Why do you think they suddenly appeared at this timing?”
“Are you talking about His Majesty?”
“I don’t know. Nothing has been revealed. So!”
Baserabab scanned Count Influenza and Count SARS with fierce eyes.
“Shouldn’t we survive and find out? Who is the real traitor?”
“…….”
Count SARS, who had been silent for a while, asked.
“What do you want us to do?”
“It doesn’t make sense to join hands now. But can’t we drive out the same enemy? Strike the undead army. If it’s now, we can drive them out.”
“The damage will be enormous.”
“If the Gukwang army is annihilated, whose turn do you think it will be? Look. They are collapsing. If it’s not now, when will it be?”
At Baserabab’s passionate speech, Count Influenza and Count SARS nodded.
Their superiors were all dead.
They were the decision makers.
Count Influenza and Count SARS agreed with Baserabab’s words.
Total troops 70,000.
All the forces of the Gongwang army who could fight, excluding the wounded, struck the flank of the undead army.
Baserabab, who was watching them, sighed deeply.
“This tragedy is also coming to an end.”
