Chapter 84-86: Scene of Carnage (1/2)

Chapter 84-86: Scene of Carnage

Transparent insect. An intermediate 1Lv creature that automatically turned transparent when it received the sunlight. It was the size of a child and wasn’t very strong, but it was a different story if there were thousands of them. Vibrating its wings would confuse the enemy. And they pounced like a group of piranhas…the vibrations caused by thousands of wings was enough to cause a brain concussion and pain.

Now over one thousand insects were approaching the Awakened.

“Electricity!”

Kung!

Yoo Eun-hye took a stance like she was firing a gun and electricity shot out. She was showing a rare grade lightning skill. Many of the approaching transparent insects were swept away by the shock. Despite the fact that the insects were transparent, they couldn’t fool the keen senses of the Awakened.

“Water Barrier!”

Lee Ji-hye erected a barrier that was 5m in width and 2m in height. It was a new skill she learnt after the humiliation with the king bee. It acted to block the vibrations emanating from the wings of the transparent insects.

All of the Awakened gathered here were at a decent level. The transparent insects were the weakest among intermediate creatures so the Awakened could deal with them.

“Captain-nim. Do we have to stay in this spot?”

Yoo Eun-hye wiped the sweat from her forehead after dealing with the nearby transparent insects. Edward was nearby smiling.

‘Good.’

I nodded as I watched them.

The combination of Yoo Eun-hye and Edward was good. The two of them had already handled 10 transparent insects alone. They would become some of the strongest Heroes in the future. It was quite interesting watching their growth.

“Captain-nim?”

Yoo Eun-hye blinked.

I replied with a flippant attitude.

“This fight is likely to be a long battle. We have to do it little by little.”

“Hu! To be honest, I’ll just be glad if I don’t die. By the way, the six winged angel is really terrific. It is the first time I’m seeing creatures look so pitiful.”

The demons and angels fighting.

It was an overwhelming sight. Hashmal was particularly overwhelming. She killed hundreds of creatures and was like an elephant stepping on ants.

The demons initially tried to handle Hashmal but changed routes and aimed at the large group of angels. Even with recovery, severing the limbs or completely destroying the heart and brains would make recovery impossible. Hashmal couldn’t take care of all the angels.

And…I used Lightning God on the demons. In fact, Lightning God devoured the random creatures that it encountered.

If this situation continued, the angels would be defeated. But I didn’t want such an obvious situation.

My plan. I sincerely wished for them to destroy each other.

The demons were perplexed as Lightning God appeared out of nowhere. They soon realized that Lightning God was a skill but couldn’t find the demon or angel using it. The Awakened didn’t even cross their minds. It was unthinkable that humans would be able to use such skills. Of course, I wasn’t a human.

‘Come back, Lightning God.’

This much was enough. Lightning God had only been active for 5 minutes but it gave a crack for the angels to counterattack. There was only a small amount of electric power so I would only take out Lightning God when needed. Lightning God that was in the shape of a huge dragon disappeared like it was a lie. And it curled up in my body waiting for the next occurrence.

‘M1, M2. Start.’

At that moment.

Yiing……

Red lights turned on in the eyes of the auto-golems M1 and M2 who were waiting.

M1 and M2’s role was simple. I ordered them to automatically repel any attack on the dungeon barrier.

The two silver golems roamed the sky and showed considerable destructive power. The physical abilities alone were comparable to a high class creature. They couldn’t handle Hashmal but the two golems could easily deal with normal angels.

Swiik!

The angels were persistent. They systematically attacked M1 and M2. There were heavy winds every time an angel pulled their bow. The wings of the angels contained holy power and were very threatening to the golems.

But it was no use. The golems had a simple way of fighting. They would approach and grab the angel’s wings with their hands. And then they would carefully rip the wings off.

“Aaack!”

An angel’s wings was a collection of holy power. It would take a very long time to recover. Hashmal’s recovery also wasn’t effective on it. The angels who lost their wings would fall to the ground and become the prey of creatures.

“……”

Hashmal drew a cross with one hand and a circle with the other. Then the angels attacking the outer wall stopped. They rushed away from M1 and M2.

A calm and excellent judgment. She correctly saw how M1 and M2 moved while dealing with multiple enemies. She had amazing concentration.

M1 and M2 performed exactly like the command they received. They paused after the barrier stopped being attacked.

Hashmal made a move at M1 and M2 after they stopped.

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Soon the Thunder of Light was everywhere.

“Stupid fool. You should look at the demons first to be your opponents.”

Saman laughed.

Earl Saman. One of Grand Duke Upa’s faction who was participating in the angel hunt.

“Demons attacking when the sun is up won’t get any benefits…tsk tsk tsk.”

The sun raised the capabilities of the angels. This was common sense for demons. Nevertheless, this was an event and they were confident. The demons felt a lot of pressure to take action.

But Saman wasn’t in a hurry. He was looking at the movements of the sun.

He turned his head and looked at his creatures. Unlike the other demons, Saman wasn’t accompanied by a lot of demons.

Bugbear, vampire, werewolf king! Only three. But they were more reassuring than the thousands of intermediate creatures. They were creatures that exerted a stronger force in the moonlight and were the angels’ natural enemies.

“Now it is evening. You have come to my world. Huhuhu!”

Saman scanned Hashmal.

The sun sank.

The world was locked in darkness. No, the whole of South Korea was dark. It became a deep night in minutes.

The glorious wings of the angels illuminated the surroundings. But their numbers were too small. Except for the 200 inside there dungeon, there were approximately 130 remaining.

It was the opposite of the creatures. There were still many around. Seven thousand. Three thousand had disappeared in half a day but the momentum was with them.

Hashmal had a slightly weary countenance. There was no change in expression but she didn’t randomly make spears of light anymore like she did when the sun was up. It was a natural result after eliminating thousands of creatures alone.

Earl Saman and his three creatures started moving.

The bugbear was a type of black chimera. It was an accidentally born from a synthesis of an insect and dark bear. It was famous for being very brutal under the moonlight.

Vampire, werewolf king…no words were needed. Both were advanced 4Lv creatures. They were especially stronger at night. They were capable of causing devastation among general angels.

“Kuahaha! Stop the angels!”

Saman cracked the whip. He smiled as they rushed towards the angels.

The vampire changed into a bat and bit one of the angels. Blood flowed from the angel’s neck. The angel that lost its blood trembled. The vampire’s curse was the opposite of holy power. One bite meant the holy power’s recovery wasn’t effective.

Werewolf King.

He was a creature with the name of king and the fighting style was also exciting. He quickly jumped at the angels. The wings were ripped off and the angels could no longer live.

“……”

Hashmal gazed at them and made hundreds of light spears. The hundreds of light spears headed to the vampire and werewolf king. However, the sun was gone and stamina depleted so it didn’t have the same majesty as before. The speed and accuracy had fallen badly.

Many intermediate creatures died but the vampire and werewolf king weren’t touched at all.

“You are just like a whore! My creatures will never die from attacks like that!”

Saman gave a huge laugh.

Hashmal just produced hundreds of light spears again. But this time they didn’t move. Instead, the spears joined together.

Hashmal finished a 3m long trident. It was the first time she used a weapon in this fight. This meant the situation wasn’t going well.

The eyes of the demons shone.

“Break Hashmal’s neck.”

“This is our chance.”

The demons released their advanced creatures. It was expected that the intermediate grade ones wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Saman frowned.

“These fools! But your creatures are no match!”

Saman wielded his whip and the bugbear moved more enthusiastically. He added a few more advanced creatures like the vampires and werewolf king. They particularly had a ‘natural enemy’ relationship with the angels.

The demons started a full scale offensive against Hashmal and the last Virtues Angel.

Hashmal frowned.

Paak!

She took care of dozens of wyverns but there was no end to the number of advanced creatures coming. Hashmal was gradually being pushed to the edge of a cliff. She was even vulnerable to the werewolf king.

“Kuahaha! I got it…!”

Hashmal was within easy reach of Saman.

Kyaooooh!

Lightning God suddenly bit Saman. Saman and the bugbear disappeared in an instant.

I gave a small smile.

‘This is worth entering.’

I was standing with the Awakened in the middle of the battlefield.

Hashmal was approaching the limit but there were still hundreds of casualties, making it easy to catch a demon off-guard.

Thanks to Saman, Lightning God was able to eat.

-The demon hunt was successful. The effect of the title ‘Dungeon Hunter’ has created 1 residual stat point.

500,000pt will be given.

A reward for killing an earl. I was satisfied with getting an extra stat point.

There were other demons who were good targets but Lightning God ended up eating Saman.

At that time, Hashmal’s gaze moved towards me. She stared at me.

‘She noticed.’

The owner of Lightning God was noticed. The question was whether the demons had noticed. I was helping Hashmal and the angels so it would be annoying for the future if the demons noticed.

I suppressed my maximum magic power but there was no way of knowing. I stared straight into Hashmal’s eyes.

After a few seconds, Hashmal turned her head away again.

‘Go on?’

I didn’t know the reason. But her eyes weren’t hostile.

“Captain-nim. We should step back. It will be dangerous if we stay any later!”

Lee Ji-hye cried out from nearby.

The strong creatures were rushing towards Hashmal. But there were many creatures remaining. The intermediate creatures were tough opponents for the Awakened.

The bodies of the Awakened were exhausted. They were drinking potions to sustain themselves. The trolls and banshees were flooding the area. It was a situation where a single crack would mean losing their lives to a monster!

But…I shook my head.

“Endure.”

“We might die. Captain-nim, this absolutely isn’t a good plan. Once the angels are pushed back, the humans will be their next target!”

Lee Ji-hye stated. Hashmal and the angels were being pushed back little by little. They were clearly struggling in power.

But my answer didn’t change.

“Endure.”

“This…! Do you want them to self-destruct?”

“No.”

Lee Ji-hye wielded her staff with tight lips as she heard it.

I expressed my intention to participate.

I looked at the entrance of the dungeon.

And Lee Ji-hye, Yoo Eun-hye and Edward stayed behind me while I waited for the ‘moment.’

***

Chrisley clutched the Death Wand and said.

“We have to stop them. Our opponents are the angels and we will beat them with the power given to us.”

1,500 creatures were assembled on the 1st floor. Among them were a large number of advanced creatures.

And even if they were lacking power, they needed to desperately defend the dungeon. This was their last home. They pledged their lives to defend the Tree of Origin. Chrisley and all the dark elves were prepared.

However, Julliom was an exception. He opened his mouth with a very worried expression.

“Queen-nim. Please step back. The angels aren’t easy existences.”

After going through the treatment with the Dungeon Master, Chrisley had been appointed as ‘Queen’ of the dark elves. Julliom and even Krasla would listen to her. But Chrisley just laughed awkwardly.

“Elder-nim. What do I have to fear when the lich and seven spartoi in the vicinity?” (Spartoi= grown from the body parts of a dragon)

“Queen-nim doesn’t know. How brutal and scary the angels are…!”

Julliom trembled.

Demon World. Julliom spent a long time there and had seen angels step out of dimensional gates a few times. They were existences that tried to destroy all life in the Demon World. Julliom had to make an appeal for his life every time.

Of course, the invasion from the heavens wasn’t frequent. It occurred once every several decades. But the Demon World received a huge blow every time.

In a nutshell, the weak people would only die. Julliom wanted to live near the world tree for this reason. He didn’t want to always live with the fear of dying.

On the other hand, Chrisley was young. She never felt fear towards the angels. So Julliom wanted to maintain that.

“Don’t worry. This degree isn’t enough to make my body cold.”

Chrisley tried to dispel his worries and laughed brightly. She had become increasingly more beautiful and now there were no dark elves who could match her beauty. Julliom’s spirit briefly recovered.

Julliom who recovered his mental state said.

“…This old man will die to protect your life.”

“Huhu. That is reassuring.”

Kung!

Kwaang!

At that moment.

The dungeon shook. The angels had launched their attacks. Soon a large number of them would be coming through the entrance.

Chrisley gripped the Death Wand tightly.

“Get ready. The enemy is coming.”

Two hundred angels.

Four Principalities Angels.

One Powers Angel…

That was the number of angels entering the dungeon. The angels didn’t seem affected by the darkness and marched into the dungeon without any hesitation. They were faced with the saber tigers.

Grrr!

There were dozens of saber tigers in the vicinity of the angels. The angels held weapons made of light and moved to the saber tigers that hastily retreated. They seemed encourage and followed.

But it wasn’t easy. The angels kept their ranks. The angels were simple but not ignorant. They realized this was a trap.

Chrisley immediately introduced the lizardmen. The lizardmen were intermediate 2Lv creatures A frontal confrontation with the lizards.

Surup! Sururup!

Round wooden shields and scimitars. The angels wearing armour crashed into 50 lizardmen. It was very provocative behaviour.

It wasn’t expected that the lizardmen could win compared to the two hundred angels. It was for the commander to investigate the enemy’s firepower.

The 50 lizardmen took 8 minutes to die. The lizardmen were handled by two angels! The efficiency was enough that the Principalities Angels and Powers Angel didn’t have to come out. It seemed to be an objective indicator.

“It is more than I expected. The angels…”

The dungeon’s crystal ball. Chrisley could see the circumstances in the dungeon thanks to that item. The force of the angels witnessed through the crystal ball was intense.

“But it is fortunate. There doesn’t seem to be many high ranking angels.”

Julliom sighed with relief.

Chrisley asked with confusion.

“I heard that the hierarchy of the angels is diverse and complex. Is the difference that big?”

“Yes. The archangels have a special existence but otherwise there is a strict hierarchy. The Powers Angels are intermediate ranked like the dark elves. Virtues Angels and Dominions Angels can confront high class creatures alone. Climbing up the hierarchy…I have never seen the Thrones, Cherubs and Seraphims so I’m not sure how strong they are.”

“Then there must be a Heavenly King.”

“That’s right. The Heavenly King is the master of heaven. Just like the Devil is the master of the Demon World. And it is possible for us to match the power of the Principalities and Powers Angels here.”

Tension was finally released from Julliom.

Chrisley continued looking through the crystal ball before saying.

“I will throw more food at them. It is the turn of the werewolves. All…prepare the ceremony.”
