Chapter 938 Cap 936: Where Did That Come From!?

Pov Light Templar:

"What should we do if someone shows up?" (Soldier A)

"No one will show up you idiot, the rest of the troops are close by, they will stop anyone who approaches." (Soldier B)

"He's talking about the truly strong enemies you idiot, like Silver Grade or maybe even Gold Grade Adventurers." (Soldier C)

"That's exactly my concern, they're taking too long with this magic circle." (Soldier A)

"Many people managed to flee the city, the siege did not go as well as we had hoped." (Soldier C)

"They are worrying too much, we are normal Soldiers, leave that concern to the people in charge, besides, we have strong people on our side too." (Soldier B)

"You three! Stop talking and go patrol!" (I)

"Sir, yes sir!" (all)

I was passing between the houses where the merchants seem to have lived looking for survivors who couldn't escape, and that's when I heard these three Soldiers talking in an alley.

I know everyone is tired, our journey here, then the attack, and now the state of alert until the magic circle activates.

The troops are exhausted, and so am I, but I can't let anyone relax until we finish these damn Fiends.

"They are right to be afraid, but that's why everyone should do their best, it's all for Baldr's glory." (I)

The attack a few days ago led by the Executioner of Light was a gimmick, the Inquisitors have creative ways of fighting that a Templar like myself wouldn't think of.

When our army was teleported to the other side of that city, we followed the plan and we divided so that they thought it was a pincer attack, with that we hid the presence of our troops who came to that city without drawing attention, we had to be quick because the every second we ran the risk of being discovered.

Now that our plans are almost finalized everyone is on edge, but I can't blame them, I haven't had a decent night's sleep in days.

I arrive at the center of the city where the camp is in the middle of the magic circle, the High Priest in charge has Affinity with three elements being Light, Space, and Fire.

He is the strongest within the city, the others who are my Commander and his son are along with the rest of the troops outside the city.

"Global coin boxes must be taken to the 7 points marked on the map, don't forget not to touch the magic crystal that I left in these places." (High Priest)

"Yes, High Priest!" (Wizards)

He is a middle-aged Human, he hated having to participate in this plan, it seems that he was in the middle of working of great importance with other spatial magic experts when he was forced to participate in this plan.

"High Priest, it looks like there's no one hiding in the city, what's the next step?" (I)

"I just need a little over 1 hour, then we can finish this stupid mission so I can get back to working on the door." (High Priest)

"That damn Inquisitor, doesn't she know that every person counts to finish..." (High Priest)

Shake

"..." (High Priest)

"< Space Barrier >" (High Priest)

shiver shiver

"..." (I)

Shake Shake Shake

Suddenly the ground started to shake a lot and a wave of dark magic was felt from a direction where a purple glow could be seen in the distance.

The High Priest used his magic to protect everyone thinking it was an attack, but when nothing happened he deactivated the barrier to save energy.

"All Mages stay close to the High Priest!" (I)

shiver shiver

"All Soldiers and Templars stay close to me!" (I)

GGGGHRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

A roar was heard as even the ground shook once more, but at least it shows that it's a monster, probably a Demon-type monster or another evil creature from the evil power we felt earlier.

"Be prepared..." (I)

While the troops were still gathering, suddenly an explosion happens near the city walls in the direction where the roar came from, when the cloud of dust disappears we finally see the monster.

"High Priest!" (I)

"What is that thing doing here!?" (High Priest)

What was coming was a Gatekeeper of Death, these monsters are only found inside a Cursed Dungeon, they are Specter-type Undead and at the same time Demons, they are the union of countless fragments of tormented Souls.

This thing that is more than 30 meters tall can summon countless Undead around it while spreading a poisonous mist in the surroundings.

His body is resistant to magic and almost immune to physical attacks, his Aura makes any living being scared with fear, but worst of all is his ability to open a door to the world of the dead bringing entire hordes of enemies.

He is a large mass of twisted flesh in an almost humanoid shape with purple armor, he has no weapons other than his large claws and long arms, his large body does not mean slow, he is fast.

"All together!" (I)

"< Magic Combination: Sword of Light >" (Soldiers and Templars)

"< World of Light >" (High Priest)

I, along with the other Templars and Soldiers, combined our magic into one creating a great sword of light, this is normally a magic for military use in wars to face stronger enemies, so it is perfect in this situation, unfortunately, the mana expenditure is very high and we cannot use magic crystals without a ritual magic circle.

The High Priest knowing that he is an Undead uses his holy magic creating a field of holy light that occupies the entire city, this will disrupt this monstrosity preventing him from using his most feared skill.

The monster didn't stand still receiving the attacks, it stretched out one of its arms and grabbed the blade of the light sword, the problem with a group spell like this is the control, so it was difficult to make it let go.

"< Streams of Holy Light >" (High Priest)

"< Purifying Light >"

"< Holy Light Burst >"

"< Sun Rain >"

Hundreds of magic circles appear around the creature holding onto its body, I signal for everyone to deactivate the magic so as not to waste our strength without reason at the same time as the Mages' attack begins.

But the creature let go of the chains in seconds, it was enough time for our spells to hit him, but the damage was very little and he continued the attack.

As I ran towards us, Ghosts were appearing, but as the surroundings were filled with holy light thanks to the High Priest, the Ghosts were disappearing just as easily as they appeared.

"< Closed Space >" (High Priest)

But even with the High Priest using his magic to defend us, we immediately realized that it was no use, the creature's claws broke through the spatial barrier killing several Mages.

"Don't stop attacking!!!!" (I)
