492 Meet the Rich King (5)

* * *

The Palace of Falcazio, full of darkness.

In the middle of the grand space in the center, the aura of the spark resonated.

Whoo-hoo!

A few moments later, a dark shadow appeared piercing the source of the light.

As soon as the shadow falls out of the air, it kneels down and opens its mouth in an urgent voice.

“My king, enemies are entering the fortress. Enemies are stronger than expected! ”

Then the voice echoes like an echo in space.

The inner part of the castle is large enough to remind me of a rare dragon, and its echo subsides long after.

And after a while, the giant throne slowly spins with a gross sound.

Queek - Queek -!

A sharp voice flows out of the huge shadow that sits on the throne.

“Don't make a fuss. I already know. ”

Flash-!

Shalian's new statue, rising from the Black Throne, slowly rises into thin air.

His cloak flutters once, blowing in the wind.

In fact, he was aware of the situation outside before his servant reported it.

When the outer sanctuary was breached, he did not immediately notice, but the moment the immunity was breached, he noticed the enemy invasion.

Inside the resistance was the perfect area for Charleon to reach.

I felt the unpleasant energy of treading on the land of the dead, and Sharian shredded it.

In his mind was a poor looking horse.

‘Phew, I thought I trusted that stupid Horseman. ’

Lim Long, the only reinforcement Daemon drank through the Gate, who survived and completed his mission.

Obviously, he was an outstanding talent, which is why he gave me an elite unit without hesitation.

Somehow, shortly after he left the fortress, all the defenses were breached.

It was a situation that made no sense at all.

This would never have happened unless he had betrayed us and opened the gates.

‘But it doesn't matter. All you have to do is kneel down under my power. ’

Phrase -!

Sharian raises his hands, his cloak fluttering and rising into the air.

Then, right in front of him, three shadows suddenly rise.

“You summoned me, my king. ”

“God, Lockhart. I will take the king's orders. ”

“I see the king of the dead. ”

At the same time, three shadows crouching in front of Charleon.

Sharian looks down at them and opens his mouth slowly.

At the same time, a black energy gushes out around him.

“By the power of the king.... ”

As his words began, the entire kingdom trembled thinly.

Kung-ku Kung-gu!

“Destroy all who live on my land! ”

And after a while, as the darkness lay in the castle, many shadows of darkness began to appear.

* * *

Palacachio Castle has a very complex structure, among many fortresses on the continent of Colonar.

Even the space between the foreign and the immunity was filled with defensive facilities, so it might be more appropriate to say that it is an ‘ignorant’ structure.

In the case of ordinary castles, the space between foreign and immunity was also composed of commercial and residential areas.

However, the inside of the resistance of Falcazio had a structure that was completely contradictory to 'complexity’.

Instead of having a defensive facility, it was a barren plain where no architecture could be seen, but there were numerous monuments piled on top of it.

And in the center of it, a royal prince with a magnificent dragon pierced the sky was spiking and rising high.

The appearance was so frightening to those who could see.

“Gas, finally reunited with Sharian.... ”

Ian takes a step forward, anxious to see Charleon's castle from afar.

Then Hun catches up with him and mutters in a frightened voice.

“Ugh, this place is creepy. ”

“What?”

“This is a cemetery. It's like it's haunted. ”

Ian smiles and gives him a glass.

“Are you……. Are you scared? ”

“Well, that can't be right! ”

“Oh, I can see your legs twitching. ”

“No! My brother must have seen it... wrong. I wouldn't be afraid of a place like this, Lord of Darkness! ”

“Don't talk or stutter. ”

“ ……. ”

Ian stares at the smoke behind him with a smile on his face.

It was because what Hun did was pretty cute.

‘At this time, it's an endless elementary school. No, come to think of it, I always thought I was a junior. ’

In fact, Hun's reaction was not strange.

The scene in front of the expedition was so strange that even Ian, an adult, was slightly creepy.

There is a bloodshot sunset sky on the horizon in the middle of all the black, a pile of skeleton branches piled up all over the snow, and there are numerous monuments rising up and down between them.

You can tell it's not strange that a zombie jumps out from under your feet right now.

Next to you, Shakran opens his mouth in a heavy voice.

“There's got to be a Sharian in that castle, right? ”

“Maybe, yeah. ”

“What are you gonna do, kid? It looks good to drive the pace and clear the path at once.... ”

As Shakran finishes speaking, he pulls out a longsword that was lodged in his waist.

Ian also drew his sword, as if he had made a preordained match with him.

Shhh!

A sword with a beautiful blade that radiates a brilliant red light towards the sky.

Bloody Levangie, loot from Lim Long.

Ian's eyes meet Shakran. He nods slowly.

“Of course we should. It's just... ”

“Only?”

“I don't want to slow you down. because there might be another invisible trap lurking there. ”

“Hehe, I agree. ”

After the conversation, the two leaders quickly start rearranging the guild's troops.

Even Ian, who was in a hurry, did not rush.

So far, running restlessly has given me plenty of time, and now all I need to know is the last button.

I don't know how hard it is to hunt Charleon, but I'm pretty sure I can see the end of the episode after this last hunt.

After a short while, Lotus and Titan's forces begin marching towards the castle in unison.

Blame it - blame it -!

The expedition's users run across the cemetery in a nervous expression.

However, when they reached the middle of the cemetery, a loud noise rang out.

- By the power of the king...

Kung-kung-kung-kung!

A strange, intimate voice that gives me goose bumps just hearing it.

With him, the whole castle began to vibrate, and Ian was extremely nervous.

Are you trying to set some kind of trap? ’

The Rich King Charleon is considered to be the most powerful black wizard in existence.

It is clear that they will practice more powerful dark magic than the Dark New Dragon Lugaryx.

And there are a lot of dark magic attacks that can do powerful area damage.

Not to mention the vast plains that are good for boosting the magic of the area.

It was also here that Ian was the first to think of the vast black magic.

“Nick, get ready! ”

Queahhh-!

Ian immediately waits for Nick's unique ability to be called a wide magical counter.

But the next moment, I realized it was the wrong decision.

- Destroy all who live on my land!

Kuaaak!

Gaaaaaaa!

Charleon's voice echoes in succession, and countless undead rise from the ground.

Moreover, the undead were not ordinary skeleton soldiers.

Undead with rank above most Warriors or Knights.

Even….

"Crazy, what level is this? ’

- Judge of Death: Lv.485

The average level of undead represented was well above 480.

Ian quickly judged the situation, momentarily.

‘These are not the ones who made us fight head-on. If we fight like this, we won't last 30 minutes and we'll be wiped out. ’

Undead monsters ranked on average at 480 levels with only ~ hero rating.

Of course, Ian himself or Shakran were able to cope with these monsters without too much difficulty.

But not everyone in the expedition did.

More than half of the expedition couldn't handle a 480-level death knight, and one by one they would die.

And Ian or Shakran couldn't have handled them without the support of other users.

"What? LB wouldn't have destroyed the difficulty. There must be something... ’

Ian quickly aggregates the advance by leading his troops.

If the original faction was a triangle to quickly pierce the path, the changed faction would be a circular faction close to the defense.

He chose to endure without breaking through.

Ian decided it was time to preserve one more troop.

It's crazy to break through against hundreds of undead in the 480s. Even if we have to hunt down all those crazy troops, we have to withstand them one by one. ’

Ian and Shakran have moved their camp as little by little as possible and settled in the high ground.

I was going to run my troops like I was playing a defense game until I knew what the planner was up to.

“No one should die. There must be something we can do to survive! ”

Ian continued to "survive" throughout the camp.

It was because if any of the factions were destroyed in this overwhelming situation, the dam full of water could be destroyed at once.

“Makta is not the point! If you can see her blood, please bear with her for now! ”

A life-giving gauge that seems to die if hit by one person. Undead attract users from all over.

However, the expedition's users have retained their defenses, and over time the camp has become more and more fortified.

And it's been, what, 10 minutes?

Somewhere, a resonance that big enough to eat your eardrums began to spread.

Whoo-hoo!

“ ……! ”

Ian's gaze then returned towards the place where the sound had resonated reflectively.

The end of the horizon where there was a bloodshot sunset.

There was a black crescent slowly rising.

- The King of the Dead expresses his power.

- Dark Moon in the sky.

- The Legion of Darkness has become a Dark Berserk.

-As long as the dark moon is in the sky, the forces of darkness are 25 percent more powerful in combat.

- The Dark Light Explosion status will be released after the Dark Moon has passed.

-Dark Door Duration: 00: 39: 59

Ian sighs in relief as he looks at the system message.

‘If you pushed the breakthrough too hard, you would have been completely destroyed. ’

The fact that the undead have become as powerful as 25 percent in the 480s means that they have reached 600.

In this situation, if it were an aggressive faction, rather than a defensive one, it would have collapsed in an instant and not been able to evade the annihilation.

Moreover, the intentions of the organizer could now be clearly ascertained.

‘That's what I was talking about, Bertie. Whatever it takes to last 40 minutes, it'll be worth it. ’

Ian had never seen the Dark Moon before, but he was very well aware of the buff called 'Dark Berserk Explosion’.

It would have been the same for Ian and most of the users here.

‘Dark Berserk' was a basic buff skill that any black wizard could learn.

However, there was a difference between a single target buff and the power of the Rich King strengthening hundreds of undead.

‘Twenty minutes after the dark light eruption. We need to wipe this place out. ’

Darkness photoexplosion was a powerful buffer that could be triggered without any other conditions, but there was one side effect.

After the duration is over, it takes about half the time to debuff the same coefficient.

Since it was a 25 percent dark explosion lasting for 40 minutes, it would take -25 percent of the debuff for 20 minutes after the photobombing was over.

The moment the undead of the 480-level were weakened to the 360-level level level, that was the opportunity of the expedition.

"Great, I specialize in space defense again!" ’

Ian flashes and raises his right hand, moving toward the center of the circle.

Then, a lot of people who were on Ian's shoulders began to glow blue.
