Chapter 253: Territorial Defence (Bottom)

Rufel was surprised. He thought,

‘With only fewer than thirty people…’?

They had already hunted 1/6 of his troops. The decisive factor was Philip Village turning into a bunker. Despite the demons’ continuous attacks and arrows, they still could not leave any scratch on the bunker.

However, Rufel soon let out a derisive laugh, and gave his orders to the Slayer of Death.

‘Detonate.’

The demons still had a lot of their numbers left, and that bunker would fall under their hands eventually.

***

“

Heok, heok, heok, heok

.”

“

Keuheuk

. It’s getting dangerous.”

“Three of our guild members just died.”

Once again, the members of Legend Guild went back inside the bunker after taking their turn. They quickly took their potions and rested. Meanwhile, the 2nd team, Black Dragon and the Boys, also tagged back in. It looked like it was a push-and-pull battle, but they had just lost another two guild members. As their number decreased, the Legend Guild felt the increasing pressure pile up on their shoulders.

[The Bunker has sustained 1,315 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 1,161 damage.]

The Legend Guild also saw the current status of the bunker’s defense.

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker. 498,315/601,315]

They were still a long way from collapsing. However, at this rate, they could last another hour or two at most.

Just then, Ascar looked out and mumbled, “Wh…what’s that?”

“What?”

Genie hurriedly stood up and looked outside, following Ascar’s gaze. When she saw the scene outside, she was appalled.

In their sight, creatures that were far bigger than the exploding hellhounds, had appeared. In addition, the skin was not the hideous, melted black from earlier, but a shining silver. What was worse was that they looked like they were about two or three times faster than the regular hellhounds.

Dash, dash, dash, dash—

Hundreds of such creatures were running straight towards them.

“

Kiyeeeeeeeeee!

”

Britney fired out a breath. However, only a few of them were killed.

“Stop them!”

Black Dragon felt his gut tighten as he sensed something, and shouted loudly. The guild members launched a barrage of attacks. However, no matter how strong their attacks were, they were not able to damage them at all. They were only barely able to scratch them, just like with the Silver Wolves earlier. For those with more lethal moves, they were only able to hunt around one or two.

“Shit…!”

Not long after, the larger wolves leapt high up in the sky, before sticking to the walls just like a magnet.

Stick, stick, stick, stick, stick, stick—

As soon as they got stuck on the walls, they watched as the Slayer of Death flick his finger from afar.

Flick—

Then, at that moment…

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

[The Bunker has sustained 16,313 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 14,615 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 11,316 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 19,625 damage.]

The bunker began to suffer a barrage of damage, and…

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

…an ominous sound began to ring loudly in their ears.

“It’s a real suicide squad…”

“They even exploded on their own…”

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker. 88,315/601,315]

In an instant, the bunker’s durability had almost reached zero. However, the hellhounds, from just now, were still running towards them.

‘If the bunker collapses… We won’t be able to last ten minutes…’?

Every single one of them was exhausted. In addition, their AOE skills were still under cooldown and could not be used for another hour. Because of that, they would be wiped out immediately.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Then, another explosion began to shake up the bunker.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

Cracks started to break out from their shields. Genie hurriedly fired the cannons. She wanted to hunt as many as she could before the bunker collapsed.

“Launch cannon.”

[Launching the cannon.]

[You have used 30,000 points.]

[Available number of uses 1/3]

Creak, creak, creak, creak!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The surrounding demonic beasts exploded. Once the thorns were recovered, she fired another shot of cannon.

“Launch cannon.”

[Launching the cannon.]

[You have used 30,000 points.]

[You have used up the cannon.]

[The cannon is no longer available.]

Then, at that moment…

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Spider web-like cracks started to appear on the walls one by one. Not long after, the notifications went off.

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker’s durability has run out.]

[It will be destroyed.]

“Everyone, take cover!!!”

The debris swept over the guild members, almost burying them. Thankfully, they moved quickly after hearing Genie’s command.

“

Uwaaaaaaa!

”

“Goddamn!”

“We’re f*cked!”

Now, they were sitting ducks, and would definitely die.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

***

When the bunker collapsed and a hazy smoke rose from the piles of debris, the emcee, Jan, felt despair. She thought,

‘N…no…’

The underdog, Legend Guild, had shown everyone that they were really the best in their country. Unfortunately, the bunker had collapsed, and it seemed that the members would eventually be wiped out too.

Just then, a man flew on the black dragon. The Slayer of Death also summoned a bone dragon to face off against the man. The bone dragon was not just a normal bone dragon.

‘Bone Dragon Lord?’

Jan was a taming master so she could tell. She could tell that it was the most powerful dragon that was ever killed in history. Not long after, the ice dragon and the fire dragon fought fiercely to defend and protect their master. However, they were easily knocked down by the overwhelming strength of the Bone Dragon Lord. Even ‘Black Wagon fell down on the ground.

However, even after he was knocked down, he just glared at the Slayer of Death and the Bone Dragon Lord with a stubborn and indomitable expression on his face.

Then, at that moment, voices from the ATV’s side were suddenly sent over to her ears.

[W…what’s that?]

[Heok!!! What’s that?]

[It…it’s an army!!!]

Jan turned towards the screen that was shown to her not long after. There, on the screen of a monitor, were 150 black horses running under the lead of two white horses. An elf was sitting on top of one of the white horses, while a baby piggy wearing a red hat was on the other. Sitting on top of each of the black horses were 150 men. It seemed like each and every single one of them were knights.

Not long after, an even more surprising turn of events happened. A black mist began to seep out from behind the 150 troops, which suddenly formed and produced soldiers wearing solid black armors, spears, swords and bows. The troop of 150 knights soon turned into more than 600 soldiers.

Then, she heard another voice.

[The third camera!!!]

[Miss Jan, look at the 3rd camera!!!]

Jan turned to look at the screen that the 3rd camera was showing. She saw that something was shining brightly in the air. There was someone mysterious and unidentified falling down on the swarm of bone wyvern in the air. To be exact, he was falling towards the Bone Dragon Lord that was going to attack ‘Black Wagon’, and he was carrying a very large weapon.

Jan narrowed her eyes to confirm the weapon, and when she saw it clearly, her eyes could not help but widen.

‘F…frying pan?’

It was an extremely huge frying pan. The man, who was descending rapidly, slammed against the Bone Dragon Lord, which almost landed an attack on Black Dragon. With his strength amplified by the gravity from his descent, a huge impact slammed into the Bone Dragon Lord.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang—

The Bone Dragon Lord was instantly struck to the ground. At the same time, two black kitchen knives surrounded the man, soaring through the air and stabbing the enemies that flocked around him.

As for the sudden appearance of the 600 soldiers, the baby piggy and the soldiers devoured the demonic beasts along their charge. Just like a tsunami, the demonic beasts were washed away and cleaned up. The troops displayed their enormous strength as they started to fight back against the enemies.

Jan, the commentator, could immediately tell who that person was. There was only one person that owned such a frying pan. It was none other than the Food God, Minhyuk.

[Th…the Frying Pan Killer has appeared with hundreds of soldiers!!!]

At the same moment, PD Kim Dae-Guk, with his eyes wide open, asked the broadcasting station, “F…Frying Pan Killer?!!! What’s the ratings now?”

“35%. N, no. 37%. No…! It’s more than 40%!!!”

“The ratings are growing extremely fast.”

“The number of viewers is increasing with word of mouth.”

“This is the appearance of the two users of our country that entered the Hall of Kings!!!”

PD Kim Dae-Guk, with his shocked expression, was also able to see the Frying Pan Killer.

‘What the hell are those soldiers?’?

The knights actually had the symbols of both the Collodis and Eivelis Empire.

‘But who are those unidentified men that came from the black mist?’

Just as that question floated in his mind, another extraordinary thing happened.

They thought that most of the Legend Guild were covered under the rubble and forced to log out, but there was a man coming out from the gaps. It was the Legendary Explorer, Lark! He had the power to control gravity! His face was flushed as he supported the debris and remnants of the falling stones around him, preventing everything from falling with all his might.

“

Keuaaaaaaaaaaa!

”

Baaaaaaaaang!

Lark was able to clear out the rubble and pushed them out towards the mobs! Huge piles of stones and debris swept away towards the mobs in an instant.

“C…crazy…”

Another gasp of exclamation came out from PD Kim Dae-Guk’s mouth. Their ratings were still climbing higher.

“We’re over 45% in viewership ratings!!!”

‘Well then, Frying Pan Killer. What are you going to do next?’

Not long after, they saw him talking to ‘Black Wagon’ about something. Then, a voice was heard from a distance.

[Friiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeend!]

All the cameras were concentrated towards the source of the voice. There, they could see Black Mage Ali floating in the sky with his skill ‘Fly’ as he smiled cheerfully at Minhyuk. The camera also zoomed in on his wrist. They saw a token ‘X’ drawn on his wrist.

‘What the hell? Minhyuk and Black Mage Ali know each other? This is a scoop! The two users in the Hall of Kings are close to each other?!’?

At that moment, Minhyuk also raised his arm. Along with him, Black Dragon and the Boys also raised their arms. Even the members of Legend Guild raised their arms hesitantly.

There was an ‘X’ clearly drawn on each and every single one of their wrists.

[Friieeeeend!!!]

[Frieeeeeend!!!]

[Friieeeeeeeeeend!!!]

PD Kim Dae-Guk gave up and laughed helplessly. He said, “I think it’s some kind of bullshit, but somehow, it looks cool…?”
