chapter 70
70. Legion of the Black Sea
The Mullen corps advanced steeply.
The blue legion advanced across the sea.
A black haze stirred in the sea beyond.
The Mulen warrior leading the charge rode Silviria and raised his spear high.
“Stop! They’ve revealed themselves!!”
At that cry, the Silvirias who were moving through the sea all stopped.
Yuma weakly kicked Silviria’s side.
It was a signal to move forward.
Next to Yuma was Belle, who was also riding Silviria.
Wow ─
Passing by the still Silviria countless times.
It stopped next to Yerkur, the king of Mulen, who was next to the leader.
“Is that it?”
Yuma gestured forward with his chin.
darkness.
Yuma and Belle’s eyes captured the dark energy spreading thickly like oil leaking into the sea.
Yerkur nodded his head vigorously.
Belle narrowed her brows.
As well as the black energy. Because of the fog that stretched out in front of those energies, it was impossible to determine exactly what type of enemy it was.
Yuma looked beyond with his <Exploration Eye>.
But perhaps because it was shrouded in fog, nothing could be explored.
“What are you hesitating about? God of War is not a title full of vanity!”
As Yuma and Bell stood still as they stepped forward, a golden aura appeared on the spear held in the hand of the large man on the left.
Gurgling!!
Then, he swung his spear and sent the concentrated aura straight out in the form of a slash.
A golden slash penetrated through the fog.
In an instant, the fog, which had been torn apart by the size of the slash, was restored to its original state as if the gaping scar was being sutured.
Kuraaak!
A scream of pain was heard from beyond the fog.
And then something shot out through the fog like a tentacle.
It was not a tentacle, but a water dragon.
Quad Deuk!
“Kwaaa!”
Screams echoed across the coast.
It was the scream of a Mullen man who had just fired a slash.
The limb of his right shoulder had been torn apart in the shape of a huge tooth.
Blood spurted out from the man’s shoulder.
“Sea Serpent…!”
[Lv.122]
Sea serpent.
‘I heard that the Water Snake is under the control of someone who is presumed to be Leviathan.’
A black-scaled water snake approximately 40 meters in size.
“Kwaaak!”
Yuma fixed Balmung, ignoring the continued screams of Rugel, the man whose shoulder was literally torn off.
Krraaagh—!!!
[Sea Serpent] let out a loud roar and rushed towards Yuma.
[Sea Serpent] with its mouth wide open.
Yuma wasn’t that scared of the rushing water snake, each of its fang-like teeth.
The rushing of that monster’s head was like the fist of a warrior.
There was no reason why parrying couldn’t be accomplished.
You have to aim for the parrying point of that snout.
[Sea Serpent]’s red eyes looked directly at Yuma.
Yuma swung Balmung while riding the silver seahorse, Silviria.
Kwaaa!
Balmung’s blade touched the front teeth in the exact center of the [Sea Serpent]’s snout.
A heavy recoil sensation, as if hitting a huge rock with a sword, spread down Yuma’s right arm and into his entire body.
The golden circular impact spread, indicating that the parry was successful.
<Absolute Counterattack>
Absolute counterattack has been activated.
There was no time for the power to go anywhere. However, the body of the [Sea Serpent] who sank his teeth into Yuma was immediately imbued with a power ten times his own.
The movement of the black water snake suddenly stopped.
Ddudu──du─dudu─duk!!!
The terrible sound of the [Sea Serpent]’s vertebrae and ribs being shattered in an instant echoed across the sea.
Kwasik!
And my heart exploded.
Wow!!
A water snake boasting a body of nearly 40 meters was completely submerged in the sea, its entire body reduced to rags. In response, a column of water rose up.
Yuma patted the healthy left shoulder of Rugel, who was staring blankly at his body, forgetting about the pain for a moment.
“Stand back and treat first, it’s a distraction.”
“Heeeeeek! I’m sorry!”
Rugel, who had commented on the title of God of War as vanity, felt that Yuma’s light pounding was no different from hitting him with a hammer.
Rugel hurriedly moved his Silviria and threw it backwards, gurgling blood.
Fluffy… .
The sea regained calm for a brief moment.
The voices of Mulen warriors were heard here and there.
“…A guy who concentrated his energy on a sword or spear and had to take a direct hit about 20 times to die.”
The voices that were muttering were all trembling and trembling.
“They all died in one hit.”
“Really, is that a martial god?”
The sharp eyes characteristic of the Mulen warriors were all filled with admiration.
“The rumors that hit the continent did not contain the slightest exaggeration!”
As Yuma listened to the story, he stared at the [Sea Serpent] who was slowly sinking into the deep sea next to him.
Yuma, who killed the guy with one hit with an absolute counterattack, had no time to know how strong the guy was.
‘He was a pretty tough guy.’
Well, even though he was level 122, he just attacked using his body. The killing power and durability of the body itself are probably that great.
Yuma felt another pair of warm eyes.
The owner of those eyes was Yerkur, the king of the Mulen tribe.
“No matter how much of a warlord he was, I had doubts about the fact that he only brought three subordinates. There was a good reason for that. I’m sorry for doubting you.”
Yuma just looked straight at Yerkur who said that with an expressionless face.
‘Don’t give up your doubts. ‘Keep wondering.’
Yuma was quite annoyed by Yerkur’s full faith.
This is because the more work you have to do, the more tired you become.
And this was not land, but the sea with numerous variables.
“Command the battlefield as you always do. I am just doing my part. It is up to you to dominate this battlefield.”
Yerkur lifted his spear and nodded sharply.
“I’m sorry, I forgot about my job for a moment.”
Yerkur raised his spear.
“Water wizards! All deploy!”
At the king’s cry, all of the Mulen wizards, including Tisha, began drawing magic spells in the air.
Right after.
CRaaaH!!!
About 30 [Sea Serpents] came out from the fog with a terrifying howl.
Among them, there were some that infiltrated from the sea and slowly approached.
Kwaaa!
A heavy sound exploded from the bottom of the sea.
Before I knew it, a transparent wall had formed in front of the sea, completely blocking the approach of not only the [Sea Serpents] who were barging their heads into the sea, but also those who were infiltrating from under the sea.
It was a 4-circle defensive magic <Water Curtain> deployed simultaneously by over a hundred Mulen magicians.
The characteristic of the Water Curtain is that it blocks all attacks or penetration coming from the other side of the caster. The point was that all attacks cast by the caster were penetrated.
“Warriors, fire slashes!”
The king’s loud roar was directed at the Mulen warriors this time.
Wooo!!
A variety of aurors gathered together with their respective weapons were fired with a slash.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
Hundreds of sword energy and strong energy directly attacked the [Sea Serpents] beyond the water curtain.
Endless binge drinking.
The warriors took turns firing slash after blow.
The wizards likewise took turns deploying water curtain magic.
Yuma observed the brilliant attack unfolding for a while.
Clone, Hestia, and Bell, who were some distance away from Yuma, also played a part in the development of the attack.
Yuma looked at Yerkur, who was watching the spectacle next to him.
“Have you ever thought about advancing and putting an end to those guys?”
“You hit me where it hurts, Grand Duke Yuma.”
Yerkur sighed.
“There is a black haze hanging over that fog. It makes entry impossible. If we are given magic, we can somehow survive. Silviria can’t stand it. But it is too dangerous to move with only the body, leaving those guys behind. And… The big reason is fear.”
“fear?”
Yerkur nodded heavily in response to Yuma’s question.
“The warriors of the clan that had infiltrated beyond the fog and haze were torn limb from limb and abandoned on the bottom of the sea. There were about 50 of them…all of them were expert level.”
monster.
Yuma looked beyond the fog with his search eyes. However, there was nothing to see.
‘Are you planning on not showing up today?’
Leviathan.
It seemed like he was planning to hunt down the Mullen tribe very carefully.
Yuma had no intention of joining in on this careful hunt.
‘It won’t take long.’
Yuma was planning to hunt Leviathan soon.
That moment.
Wow!
It seemed that the calculation of the duration of <Water Curtain> was wrong.
Fifteen [Sea Serpents] rushed beyond the shattered water curtain.
Kwaraaak!
Yuma swung Balmung towards the snout of the water snake that attacked from the front.
Kwaaa!
Kirrrrrgh!
[Sea Serpent], whose mouth was parried, let out a groan and fell to the surface.
<Absolute Counterattack—Bonsai>
A skill that allows you to use <Absolute Counterattack> with the same attack power on up to 3 enemies, including the original target of ‘Absolute Counterattack’.
Yuma targeted one of the [Sea Serpents] gathered on the left for one attack.
One foot pointed to the one in the center among the [Sea Serpents] gathered in the vaguely visible sea.
Ujijijik—!
[Sea Serpent], the original target of the absolute counterattack, died instantly.
Sigh!
A flash of light split the sea and swept the [Sea Serpents] gathered on the left into the nether.
The one remaining bonsai pierced the sea like a torpedo.
Quaaa!!
Beyond the <water curtain> that spread again, the corpses of the City Serpent emerged.
The warriors also fought hard, killing the remaining City Serpents with slashes.
In silence.
Yuma looked beyond the fog with his own two eyes.
Kurrrrrr…
It was a sound as if something was grinding its teeth.
“Le, the cry of Leviathan.”
The warrior’s voice trembled.
The abnormality seen behind the crying sound was the pupils.
Through the fog, tightly packed red eyes were visible. It looks like there are close to fifty.
And those eyes slowly began to move away.
The black haze and fog were also slowly moving away.
“next.”
At Yuma’s words, all eyes of the Mullen clan focused on him.
Yuma said while stroking the head of Silviria, a silver seahorse who seemed to be nervous due to the influx of [Sea Serpents].
“Next time I come out to this sea, I won’t go back until I kill that guy.”
The Mulen warriors were shouting without realizing it.
“All right!”
Even the king, Yerkur, almost momentarily responded with a respectful tone.
“i get it.”
I could barely get the words out of my throat.
“No one died….”
said one of the warriors.
Those words pierced deep into everyone’s hearts.
This time too, there were quite a few seriously injured.
But no one lost their lives.
A total of 5 battles have been fought with them so far.
There were countless sacrifices each time a battle was fought.
But this time, not a single person died.
The Mullen army returned safely.
