Chapter 252: Territorial Defense (Bottom)

It had only been two years since Athenae opened and started. There were still plenty of people who had hidden their strength. This was especially the case for NPCs and mobs. However, even with those things taken into consideration, the Slayer of Failure Conir’s level was so high that one could only say that it was crazy.
It was at that moment that Abel saw one of his guild members rushing forward to deal with the Slayer of Failure.
“N, no......!”
But even before he could finish his words, he was already using his beast transformation to leap high into the air and attack the Slayer of Failure with his lion claws.
Then......
Slash, slash, slash, slash—
The sword of the ‘Slayer of Failure’ moved in a straight line. The movements were so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.
“......!”
With the appearance of the ‘Slayer of Failure’, Legend Guild began to stumble and falter.
“This fucker!”
Locke rushed towards the Slayer of Failure with his two huge axes. Two strong and powerful forces flew straight towards the Slayer of Failure.
Bang—
And at that exact same moment, the Slayer of Failure gently waved his sword. His gentle and soft wave had easily cancelled the huge force that was coming straight at him.
Then......
Bang—
His sword stretched forward as the tip of his sword stabbed at Locke’s shoulder.
“Keup!”
Locke flew back strongly.
Dash, dash, dash!
Abel hurried forward. He quickly threw a smokescreen before the Slayer of Failure could move to slit Locke’s throat.
Poof!
Bang—
Then, he quickly fell back with Locke.
“That bastard is strong......”
“He’s extremely strong...... I don’t know if he’s even made to be killed......”
Abel looked around. He could see that his guild members who were doing well earlier were starting to get pushed back. Some were even collapsing.
“Heok— heok—”
Khan’s rough and ragged breathing seemed to ring loudly in Abel’s ears.
The commentators were shouting loudly.
On the other hand, many of the viewers were disappointed. However, regardless of their disappointment, they still clapped their hands.
However, at that moment, Genie fired a flare.
“Run!”
The commentators expressed their confusion and doubt while the members of Legend Guild who were fighting fiercely in front of Philip Village fell back and went back inside the village in unison. They made sure to tidy up the demons and mobs as they went inside. And the moment they all entered......
Genie shouted loudly.
“Using 250,000 war points. Convert the village into a bunker!
At that moment, something extraordinary happened.
When a demon tried to enter the village, the ground shook loudly. Then......
In a row.
Chaeng!
Iron bars rose from the ground one by one, splitting the body of the demon who almost stepped inside the village.
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwak—!
Iron bars continuously rose from the ground as they began to circle around Philip Village.
It was like......
The sturdy iron bars had spikes covering them. It was literally a bunker in the shape of the turtle ship. And it was so sturdy that the mobs couldn’t easily break them.
Just then, the centermost part of the top suddenly opened. Then, something stuck out of the opening.
“Kiyeeeeeee!”
A black dragon soared into the sky. They could see that there were a few people standing on top of the dragon. And another dragon was flying underneath it!!!
And on top of the black dragon, there was a taciturn man with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Genie smiled happily as she looked at them.
“This is our 2nd sortie.”
Along with her words, the man riding on the black dragon opened his mouth. The viewers, commentators and even the demons all held their breaths as they focused on his mouth.
“Roar! Black Dragon and the Boys!!!”
And Genie almost burst to tears.
All three of the chimeras had tough resilience and because of that, the two of them poured down their magic like crazy. They did not stop until the notification rang!
Then, the notification rang loudly in Ali’s ears.
“Yes!”
Black Mage Ali was very happy.
Since he basically hunted with Kille, it meant that they would share their contribution and EXP. In addition, the Wand of Anguish would be divided equally with the Legend Guild.
Then, Black Mage Ali once again joined the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Black Dragon had ordered his two dragons to use their breath thrice until they were no longer able to use it.
“Descend!”
“Descend!”
The six men, who descended at a high speed, rapidly dealt with the mobs that were sticking close to Philip Village. Black Dragon also flew at a high speed with Britney and Destiny as he attacked the Silver Wolves.
Bang!
“Graaack!”
Destiny’s fangs were embedded deeply on the thick and hard skin of the Silver Wolves. The black dragon on top of it glared fiercely at the wolves as Black Dragon bombed his way through leveling up.
With his ridiculously overgeared self together with his unexpected(?) gaming skills, he had done a tremendous amount of leveling up with the help of the two dragons, Britney and Destiny.
The black sword lashed at the Silver Wolves at a very rapid pace, leaving only after images behind.
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
“Kiryaaaack!”
Vwoooooooom—
A Silver Wolf collapsed. This was the first successful hunting of a Silver Wolf.
Black Dragon threw his sword as he scrutinized the demonic beasts with his sharp glare.
Pipipipipipipipi—
Black Dragon’s sword flew in a straight line stabbing through a line of enemies in an instant. His sword moved towards the path where his arms pointed at.
Not long after, Black Dragon’s sword penetrated through the center of the enemies.
Hundreds of black thorns bursted out of the sword as they stabbed through the enemies.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Then, they floated in the air for a bit before coming back to the sword. When Black Dragon moved his hand, his sword came back to his hand immediately.
And then, another surprising thing happened.
Hundreds of thorns sprung up in the Philip Village that had turned into a round bunker that looked just like a turtle ship.
Genie murmured to herself.
“Launch the cannon.”
Creak, creak, creak!
Creak, creak, creak, creak!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Hundreds of thorns flew and rained down on the enemies at a high speed. A long chain of thorns stabbed through the enemies.
Stab—
Stab—
Stab—
The sharp and pointy thorns stabbed at their incoming enemies before quickly exploding.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The blast that swept off the nearby enemies showed an enormous amount of power.
Creaaaak!
The thorns recovered and returned back to the bunker all by themselves.
The Elf King Gorn was clairvoyant and he could see everything within a thousand li. For that reason, he was very amazed when he saw that the defense in Philip Village was doing unexpectedly well.
However, darkness still encroached upon his face.
‘Rufel hasn’t sent all the chimeras yet......’
Once they come out, then they will just eventually collapse.
Right at that moment......
Clip, clop, clip, clop—
Gorn’s ears twitched when he heard a mysterious sound. Most of the elves had good hearing and sight. And among all of them, Gorn was a cut above the rest.
‘The clattering of hooves......?’
His head turned to the direction where the sound was coming from.
Notes
Turtle Ship - a warship made back in Joseon Dynasty. They were used by the Royal Korean Navy until the 19th century. You can look for their pictures with just Turtle Ship.
Sortie - an attack made by troops coming out from a position of defense.
Semi-ranker - I think I’ve written this before as middle-ranker. It seems like it’s more of a semi ranker instead of a middle ranker.
