Chapter 107: The Ability of an Advanced Military Adviser (2)

“Kukuku, Driana. Did you think you would be safe after betraying Lord?”

Turbo, the golem, exclaimed as he stared at the front. Driana was before him, floating with an ice cold atmosphere around her.

"Shut up! I had no loyalty to Colladikus from the beginning.”

"Kuoh! You dare do this to Lord...! I won’t forgive you.”

Turbo swung a huge paw.

Shwi shwi shwik!

He used distinctive, rapid movements.

The huge golem had an unbelievably quick attack.

Pak. Pak. Pak.

Driana blinked in succession and avoided Turbo’s strikes. At the same time, brimstone fire emerged from her staff and aimed at Turbo’s body.

Hwaruru! Kwaang! Kwaang!

Every time the flames exploded, Turbo’s body flinched from the shock.

That wasn’t all.

Driana had the power of a necromancer and had a number of undead subordinates. Hundreds of undead, including death knights, dullahans and undead ages attacked Turbo.

Therefore, Turbo started being pushed, little by little.

Meanwhile, Hardis and Zenith aimed for the castle.

"Rush in at full force. Capture Lucan’s castle.”

"Kill everyone and leave no stone unturned.”

The orcs and snakemen shouted and ran forward.

“Chwik! Chwiik!”

“Kuaaaah!”

The orcs and snakemen liked war and slaughter.

As they surrounded the castle, the ratian rangers on the walls started to shoot their bows.

Syuok! Syuok! Syuook!

Arrows flew endlessly from the skilled advanced archers.

Simultaneously, the vampire mages waiting on the walls started casting red fireballs from their staffs.

Hwaruru! Hwaruru!

“Kuaack!”

"Kuaaaak!"

Some of the orcs died either from arrows or fire. Despite their friends dying in front of them, the rest of the orcs kept moving forward without hesitation.

They started to climb the walls immediately.

However, only messengers of hell were waiting for them on the walls.

Seokeok! Seokeok!

“Kuwaaack!”

“Keeeok!”

Giant ratian greatsword warriors! Every time their big swords flashed, the orcs were sliced and they fell down from the walls.

“Ohh! This can’t be!”

"Such a ridiculous thing...”

Hardis’ and Zenith’s eyes widened.

They couldn’t believe that Lucan’s troops were so deadly.

It was like their troops were rushing to their deaths.

The corpses of the enemy could rarely be found and only the bodies of their allies were piled up by the wall.

There was also something else that caused their hearts to beat wildly.

Dark Mage Kelnia, who had been casting wide area magic toward the castle from the sky, fell.

“Aaaaack!”

A woman with blue hair looked down at Kelnia on the ground.

Hardis and Zenith were surprised when they saw her.

They knew her.

She was Commander Heksia of the 439th Army.

They were sovereigns underneath her, so they knew her better than anyone else.

“Ohh! Why is Commander Heksia here?”

“Shit! There is only a slim chance of winning.”

Meanwhile, the dark mage in Zenith’s camp was also killed by Heksia.

Zenith turned pale when he saw it.

At that time, Heksia received a message from Keirun and cried out,

"Go! Kill all but one of them.”

The gates opened and the lycanthropes with red fur emerged.

“Kuwaaah!”

"Kuwohuhuhung!”

The bloody lycanthropes had finally come out to slaughter the enemies.

“Kuaack!”

“Kyaaak!”

It was a one-sided slaughter of the orcs and snakemen.

"Ohh!”

"W-what are those things?”

Hardis and Zenith felt like they were going insane.

They stared up at the advanced lords, Kurao and Turbo. They were the only ones who could reverse this situation.

It was only a matter of time until the advanced lords won and the situation changed.

Unfortunately, this did not happen.

"Kuaaaaak!"

The naga queen’s spear pierced the heart of Kurao, the centaur lord. Once his breathing was broken, the mysterious recovery magic was useless.

Thus, one of the advanced lords of the Second Demon King died under the spear of Naga Queen Melinad.

Turbo, the golem, also knelt under Driana’s magic attack.

Jjejejeok! Pasususu.

Huge web-like cracks spread across his body. Then his whole body burst into flames and soon turned into dust.

Driana stared with a nonchalant expression before disappearing.

She then reappeared in front of Hardis and Zenith.

They had witnessed the deaths of two advanced lords and were trying to flee.

"Heok!"

“S-spare me.”

Hardis begged desperately but Driana just shook her head with an indifferent expression.

Sukeok! Sukeok!

Hardis and Zenith’s throats were sliced.

They didn’t even get a chance to scream.

Their bodies vanished into smoke.

At the same time, two objects floated in the air.

There was one necklace and one earring.

They were Hardis’ and Zenith’s sovereign tokens.

Driana smiled and took them carefully.

'Lord will be pleased.’

At that moment, Hardis and Zenith were standing in an unknown place.

Unidentified shadows appeared.

Their eyes shone eerily.

“Kukukuku, Sovereign Zenith! Sovereign Hardis! You were defeated in battle. Now, your tokens and possessions will belong to Sovereign Lucan.”

"W-wait a minute!"

"Something is wrong.”

Hardis and Zenith were shocked.

"We are no longer sovereigns.”

"Yes, we have become subordinates of the Second Demon King Colladikus.”

Therefore, they expected that they would wake up in reality after dying in Hwamong.

However, that was their illusion.

One of the shadows said scornfully,

"I don't know what nonsense you are spouting. You are still sovereigns and you lost in a battle.”

Another shadow said,

“You must have been deceived by the Second Demon King Colladikus. It is a common lie that the demon kings use - if you follow him, you can escape from the rules of Hwanmong. However, that is only a delusion.”

“You have broken the rule of the red moon and were defeated in battle, so you will be punished twice.”

The shadows swarmed and started to trample on Hardis and Zenith.

Bam bam bam! Crunch!

“Kuaaak! Help me!”

“Aaack!”

They screamed. They finally knew they had been deceived by the Second Demon King but it was too late for regrets.

“Kuhuk! W... Where are you taking us?”

“The place? There is only one place for losers to go.”

“Perhaps h-hell...?”

Hardis was well aware since he had a shadow sovereign as a military adviser. He knew how terrible the place called hell was.

The shadows laughed.

"You understand."

They dragged Hardis and Zenith somewhere.

At that moment, at the Guardian Hall...

Kang-jun was still in a fierce battle with the black-haired men and his body was covered in blood.

‘Ohh! It is really nasty.’

Blood flowed from his body and his blade. Every time he wielded the sword, blood would spray.

His health was less than 30%, so Will of Survival and Will of Attack were activated simultaneously.

“Shit! Kill!”

Sukeok!

A desperate swing cut the neck of one of the men.

[3,000 chaos power has been acquired.]

The message popped up.

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 6: 256000/256000

[The wings’ chaos power is full.]

[Do you want to strengthen it to the next stage?]

[Yes/No]

‘Finally!’

He had persisted until this moment.

It was because the chaos power here would strengthen his wings without fail.

Kang-jun accepted instantly.

‘Yes! Strengthen.’

At that moment, his wings shone with a brilliant light and simultaneously, the men who had been running toward Kang-jun disappeared into smoke.

Hwaaack!

Additionally, a bright light restored Kang-jun’s injuries.

[The Wings of Chaos have been strengthened to Stage 6.]

[Your damage has increased greatly.]

[Health has increased by 5,000 points.]

[Black magic energy has increased by 5,000 points.]

'Huhuhu, it is a success!'

Since the level of his wings went up, his body’s condition was restored.

Lv.65 (Exp 00.00%)

[War] Advanced

Health: 14470/14470

Black Magic Energy: 14020/14020

His health and black magic energy increased by 5,000 points.

However, unlike earlier, Kang-jun didn’t think his health was that high.

It was because his health had been cut down when he fought the black-haired men.

Of course, it was great that he had close to 15,000 points in health but that was meaningless if met a strong person.

New messages continued to appear.

[You have awakened the Will of Emergency.]

[Your fighting power in the air will increase significantly.]

[Resistance to the dimensional force has increased greatly and it is possible to fly through the dimensional sea of clouds.]

He gained Will of Emergency and his attack power in the air was increased greatly as well.

The dimensional sea of clouds was the area of purple clouds in the sky above the battlefield.

It was the place where Rainkar had told him not to enter if he didn’t want to die.

Now, thanks to a surge in resistance of dimensional force, Kang-jun was able to fly up there.

Sususu!

It was at that time that something appeared in the sky.

It was none other than the black-haired men.

‘A fight in the air?’

Kang-jun flew upwards instantly. Thanks to the awakening of Will of Emergency, flying was more natural than before.

Additionally, his body was more energetic, as though all his stats had risen as a whole.

There was a significant increase in his air combat power due to Will of Emergency.

The man laughed softly for the first time.

"You have made it this far but it won’t be easy from now on. However, if you hold on, you will be close to the state of transcendence.”

“Rather, who are you?”

Kang-jun suddenly asked for the identity of the man. The man then said with a laugh,

"That is a useless question. I don't know who I am. There is only one reason why I am here. It is to pass on everything.”

The man’s eyes sparkled.

"One, if you want to receive everything of mine, you must survive this time.”

After that, the man wielded his sword in a frightening manner.

He narrowed the distance of over 50 meters in the blink of an eye!

Did he mean to tell Kang-jun that distance wasn’t meaningful at all?

Kaaang!

Kang-jun blocked it desperately but the sword sliced his side in an instant.

Chwaack!

‘Ugh!’

He didn’t even have time to scream before the sword aimed at him again.

Kang-jun stopped it but this time, blood splattered from the other side.

'Shit! It will be hard to win this way.’

His original goal had been to raise his wings to Stage 6.

It was a jackpot with just that.

However, in this situation he had become a little bit greedier.

‘I must win somehow.’

Kang-jun’s eyes shone intensely as he gazed at the man.
