Chapter 621

Cardinal Romero knelt beside the Divine Staff, placing his hand upon it. As soon as he began his prayer, a system window appeared before Leeha and the other members of the Order, who were users.

[Cardinal Romero begins his prayer to the Divine Staff.]

[Divine Power is charging in the Divine Staff.]

[Divine Power Charging: 1%]

[During the charging of Divine Power, the Divine Staff must not be touched by demonic energies.]

[If touched by demonic energies, the Divine Power will reset.]

This is maddening.

Leeha couldnt help but let out a groan.

It wasnt about breaking the Divine Staff or killing Cardinal Romero

Merely touching it causes a reset?

Isnt that literally ending with a TOUCH DO?

The faces of Leeha and the other users darkened rapidly. Leeha vented his fear in a tirade against the game developers of Middle Earth.

Damn it! They dont make anything easy!

However, there was no other way. All the conditions had been revealed. All that remained was to grit our teeth and defend this place!

Alright, alright! Lets do it. If there are no other penalties after charging, and if its just about maintaining it for 10 minutes, then isnt that doable?

Then?

You fools, the stone walls you raised will become barriers obstructing you! Blaugrunn!

Leeha quickly turned to shout behind him.

Ahead, unleash full force of lightning magic at the flying monsters in sight! Kidd, you protect the Cardinal!

Understood!

Kyarrrr!

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant

A barrage of lightning magic and Leehas bullets soared into the sky.

Huff

Through and through

One breath, one trigger pull.

Leeha was literally, without a moments rest, pulling the trigger and emptying the magazine. In the midst of reloading, shifting the guns aim, steadying his breath, and firing! Every movement flowed smoothly like water.

In just about 5 seconds, he managed to shoot 8 rounds.

Given that Leeha was hitting targets that were still 500m away and not wielding a mere close-range rifle, the Paladins and Bishop NPCs who witnessed him striking down 8 monsters were involuntarily shaking.

It was akin to rapid-fire!

A 100% hit rate!

The sight of formidable monsters keeling over one by one was truly spectacular.

However their astonishment wasnt solely because of Leehas skills.

It was because, despite killing them, the number of monsters charging at them was overwhelmingly large.

Leeha felt it too.

Rapidly changing magazines, Leeha tried to assess the situation around him.

Just the ones charging within 500m were in numbers too great for him to handle.

Blaugrunn! How is it on your end!?

There are so many! I think it might be better to use my breath, what do you think?

Pssssht!

Umm, preventing these monsters from reaching the Divine Staff takes priority over me transforming right now!

Is there a way?

At Jin Gonggongs words, Tale asked. Bobae looked at Jin Gonggong with interested eyes.

Hadnt everyone grown through repeated growth during the Wave event? Although Jin Gonggong belonged to the lower levels within the Byulcho, his growth rate was unmatched by anyone.

Druids are not just limited to using the power of animals.

The Giant Druid, once ridiculed in online communities, was not the same as before. For a moment, thick light green mana was absorbed into his body!

Tangled Vine!

In the source of demonic energy, almost barren, foliage began sprouting at an incredible speed.

Plant-type skill

Phew, Ive put in so much mana that I cant use my transformation skills for a while Ill take a short break.

A short break! Just rest here for now! Jin Gonggong, you are the last line of defense protecting the Archbishop!

As Jin Gonggong sat down to start recovering his mana, Leeha shouted excitedly.

Although it had less impact compared to the initial stone walls, the defense it provided was by no means weak.

Around the Divine Staff, plants of about 5 meters in thickness and height intertwined in a semi-circle, creating a barrier difficult to step foot in.

Good, theres nothing more to say! We have 5 minutes left! Thats enough time for them to arrive and break the Divine Staff! Lets do whatever it takes to stop them!

Leeha pulled the trigger once more while screaming at the top of his lungs. Amidst the sounds of gunfire, users skills, shouts, and battle cries, only Hyein looked around with a worried expression.

There are 5 minutes left until the Divine Staff is fully charged. But even if we manage to fill that time, what will change?

Will it unleash some kind of power that completely repels the monsters and Demons?

If not, the moment Toon arrives, it will be broken even if we risk our lives to protect it.

Hyein had an inseparable worry but didnt voice it out, knowing it wasnt the time to demoralize everyone.

[Sacred Power Charging: 61.1%]

230 seconds out of 600 remain.

Despite Leehas efforts, feverishly firing the Black Beast until its barrel was hot, the numerical disadvantage was inevitable. The monsters that advanced to intercept began to falter and were pushed back to a distance of 100m.

Except for a few monsters in the front, the distance between Toon and the Divine Staff was only about 140 meters.

Damn, there are still almost 4 minutes left. Weve just barely dealt with the Manticore

The Manticore, which Leeha and the Sacred Knights had planned to quickly eliminate, were already wiped out. A significant number of flying monsters that could easily touch the Divine Staff were also dealt with.

Weve managed to extinguish the urgent fire, but there are still many ground monsters left! And on our side

The damages on Leehas side were not light either.

Koma disappeared when the time was up, and even Blaugrunn, who forcibly gathered mana, was so exhausted that he had to cast paralysis magic and coordinate with the Byulcho.

Weve exerted too much power in a short time!

Were being pushed back! Damn it-

Hold on! Keep holding!

Theres a limit to holding on! If Toon gets any closer, theres nothing we can do!

Bobaes arrow shot towards Toon, but Toon didnt even glance in that direction. Bobaes arrow couldnt penetrate Toons skin. Leehas gun barrel cleverly aimed only where Toon was not visible. The act of avoiding the object of fear, between consciousness and sub-consciousness, occurred very naturally. Leeha was aware of his own problem. More so in this situation?

With quite a number of ground monsters remaining, the issue was that we couldnt keep excluding Toon forever.

If Toon approaches, as Bobae said, we would truly be in a situation where we cant do anything.

How much time is left? Toon can we stop this bastard? What about the other monsters? The time? The distance?

The momentum of the monsters charging with Toon was something all experienced users, including Leeha, knew very well.

We cant stop it. Preventing this, as it is its impossible.

Leeha glanced back, hoping for reinforcements, but still, no response came. Along with that, the agonized screams from the front only grew louder.

Leeha quickly gathered his wits and pulled the trigger three times in succession. The most critical areas got momentarily relieved, but that alone didnt solve everything.
