Chapter Twenty-Four: And then we will fight until dawn

The castle has become a battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's not a war between humans, it's a war between humans and monsters.

The delicious flesh and blood attracted a steady stream of zombies, and under the scarlet light of the blood moon, countless pairs of blood-red eyes exuded a greedy gaze in the dark night.

"If we go on like this, we'll be half tired before dawn." Akai shook his arm, which had been pulling the bow and causing it to sore.

I rubbed my sour eyes, and the fight had been going on for more than three hours.

At first, the morale of the human side was very high, and the monster army could barely get close to the city wall within ten meters of countless arrows, and the dirt staircase built by the zombies was also shattered by the continuous [fire charges].

However, man is always a man, not a machine, unable to fight tirelessly.

The three-hour continuous attack left everyone on the city wall tired of defending.

"I can't go on like this." I frowned and thought about it, and threw a fireball spell down with the little mana I had just recovered.

After the first few high-level fireball spells, I didn't charge any more high-level mana in order to save mana. After all, this battle is not something that can be solved in minutes, and leaving some mana behind is also to be in case of emergency.

The issue of mana regeneration needs to be mentioned in particular.

It does not refer to the mana recovered by the potion, but to the mana that the character naturally recovers.

During the apprentice mage's period, the mage's mana was very scarce, like a stream, and once it was released, it would take a long time to regain its mana.

However, since the day I reached the official magician, I was keenly aware that my mana recovery rate had increased dramatically.

Now, after my long observations, the mana that is naturally restored is at a rate of one hundredth per second.

In other words, I can restore my mana to its peak in about two minutes.

That's the difference between a full-fledged magician and an apprentice magician!

Feeling the same amount of mana recovered, this is the first time I've sat down to recover mana since the battle began? I haven't counted them carefully, but I think there have been dozens of times.

"[Intermediate Fireball Technique]!" The firelight lit up my face, and I dropped a basketball-sized fireball.

Now, the large crowd of zombies under the city walls poses no threat to us, after all, the city walls are stable, but once one part of the city wall is breached, the zombie influx will be dangerous, and it will be necessary to fight each other in close combat.

So now, instead of wasting their mana on the zombie pile, all the archers and mages at the head of the city turned their heads to look for the creepers who would wreak havoc on the walls and the skeleton archers with long-range firepower.

As the fireball smashed into the head of an unfortunate zombie, it burst into flames, and soon turned into ashes and reduced to pieces.

During this period of defense, creepers have been mixed with zombies more than once, and then swarmed by zombies to the city walls, so we have to watch very carefully.

But with the help of nightfall, it was not so easy to find, and all the mages could do was to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible, so that the creepers would have nowhere to hide.

Countless fireballs fell down in the air, scattered like meteors among the monster army, bringing up patches of fire that illuminated the dark earth.

"No, visibility is too low at night." Akai sighed and said to me, "Isn't there magic that can light up this area?" ”

When Akai said this, I began to wonder what magic could illuminate the sky and the earth.

A light that can make the ghosts and spirits hide!

"Uncle, there should be the magic of lighting." In the end, I put the problem on one of the mage uncles we were defending with.

The middle-aged mage dropped the fireball in his hand, then turned his head and touched his chin.

"Well, let me think about it, there are indeed lighting spells, but if you use them on such a large scale, you have to rely on the help of all the mages present."

"In that case, then please, after all, if we can't open our vision, we can't know how many enemies there are."

That's right, in any case, you have to know the approximate number of enemies, otherwise it is unknown how long this supposedly impregnable castle can support in this seemingly endless sea of monsters.

Taking a step back, even if the walls can hold up, the defenders are dying.

"I'll inform all the mages, and I'll leave it to you for the time being." As he spoke, the middle-aged mage blessed himself with a [Agility Technique] and quickly ran to other mages.

"Akai, a round of outbursts." Turning my head, I said to Akai, and then gave Akai a [healing]

Feeling the exhaustion of his body go away, Akai's spirit improved a little.

"Understood."

At this time, the zombie army under the city stopped, and everyone noticed such an obvious abnormality.

"Roaring !!!!!" At this moment, an earth-shattering roar drowned out the roars of all the zombies.

"What's that!"

"Monster! Monsters! ”

"Impossible, how could there be such a monster!"

"I've never seen anything like this!"

On the city walls, the surprised cries of the soldiers rang out.

A huge black shadow came from the rear of the zombie army, and countless zombies consciously made way for it.

It's close!

With arms as thick as tree trunks, its massive body is almost indistinguishable from that of a snow monster.

Familiar enemies!

Akai and I recognized each other at a glance.

Zombie King ・・・・・・

"Hey, that's not funny." I clenched the Frost Staff in my hand, this is the trophy after killing the snow monster, it doesn't need to spend mana, and it can instantly send the most basic [Ice Arrow]

"This is a familiar enemy." Akai's pupils constricted.

The pressure brought to us by the zombie king is still unforgettable, and if it wasn't for the lightning strike in the end, the outcome is still unknown.

But why, the boss who is obviously dead will reappear?

―――――――― author Jun is blowing up the dividing line in the liver code word――――――――

The Void, the Land of the End.

The black dragon hovered on the obsidian pillar.

"King." A tall, fiery red figure emerged from the darkness.

"What's the matter?" the ender dragon opened.

"Hell is ready." The Fire Demon bowed.

"Very good, the target is not far away, the main plane, hehehe."

―――――――― author Jun is blowing up the dividing line in the liver code word――――――――

"Anyway, the zombie king is too dangerous." Looking at the zombie king who was getting closer and closer, Akai and I were about to wrinkle into the word 'Chuan'.

On the city wall, all the soldiers and mages also held their breath.

Tension spread.

With each step, the Zombie King stepped deep into the snow and took up huge footprints.

"Roar!!!!!" With a roar, the zombie king crouched down.

"Be careful! It's going to jump! Retreat for me! "Recognizing the significance of the Zombie King's movements at a glance, I immediately commanded the soldiers on the city wall to retreat.

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the zombie king jumped up.

All the soldiers and mages stared at the Zombie King, their eyes wide.

Yes, it's going to fall! The hearts of the soldiers shouted.

"It's not that easy." I forgot to react for a moment, and suddenly I heard Akai's voice.

Turning his head, he saw Akai bowstring to the full moon.

Cloud-piercing arrows!

A current of air soared upwards and shot away from the zombie king who was falling towards the city wall.

The zombie king sensed danger and protected his arms in front of him.

I saw that the cloud-piercing arrow was shot on the arm of the zombie king and was defended, but its impact was still there, and the zombie king was originally impartial and landed at the location of the city wall, and was forced to be pushed some distance by Akai's arrow.

"I'll give you a greeting gift, old friend!" With a turn, Akai caught the arrow again the moment it was fired.

The newborn air flow took over the air flow that had not yet dissipated, and nailed it to the zombie king's arm again.

"Roar!! The pain-eating zombie king roared, and the speed of his fall slowed down.

It was pushed back by the powerful impact of the cloud-piercing arrow!

Very unwillingly, the zombie king finally jumped on the city wall as he wished, and fell on the snow under the city, smashing a big hole.

On the thick arm, a deep arrow mark, the two cloud-piercing arrows hit the same place with great precision.

One of the arms of the zombie king, scrapped!

Akai shuddered and lowered his hand from the bowstring, gasping for air.

Everyone was silent.

And then...

"Oh!!!!"

Furious shouts.

The sluggish morale was broken, and the blood of both the mages and the soldiers was stimulated again, and the fatigue of three hours was torn apart with Akai's two cloud-piercing arrows.

"Really, you guy." Laughing and punching Akai, he released the healing technique for Akai.

After two consecutive cloud-piercing arrows, even with my healing technique, Akai couldn't draw his bow for a short time.

"Hehe, isn't this a New Year's gift for our old friend?" Akai laughed.

"It's a good gift."

At this time, countless lights lit up on the city walls.

"[Magic Light Source]"*n

The only magic of life that provides a constant glow.

In the dark night, countless white lights suddenly appeared, like a starry sky, lighting up the entire night.

"It's spectacular." When a large number of mages cast the same kind of magic at the same time, no matter what kind of magic it is, it is undoubtedly a spectacular sight to change quantitatively and qualitatively.

The darkness was dispelled by the light, and the monsters were nowhere to be seen, and we finally saw the number of monsters.

Not much...

Looking at the monsters that are still dense, but they are a lot thinner, everyone's morale has been boosted for a while.

"Haha, these guys are dying! Brothers, give them a taste of our awesomeness! ”

With the shouts of the leading soldiers, the soldiers began to organize a fierce offensive.

"Well, don't worry about it here for the time being." I tightened my mage robes.

"Huh?" Akai looked at me quizzically.

"You can rest here for a while, I'll go down there to deal with that zombie king, this time, I'm going to send it to the west completely."

I don't know how the Zombie King reappeared, but I only know one thing, and that is to destroy it.

"Heh, be careful, then." Akai said with a smile.

Under the city, the zombie king staggered to his feet.

The damage caused by Akai was too great, almost the same as the combat power of the two before, which made the Zombie King feel resigned.

At this moment, a huge fireball fell from the sky and smashed on the top of the zombie king's head.

The zombie king, who had not yet reacted, was suddenly overwhelmed by the sea of fire.

【Slow Fall Surgery】

Then the power of magic, I slowly descended in the city.

Zombies all around me immediately rushed towards me.

Reaching out, I stuck my staff beside me, and [Shockwave]" unhurriedly charged the spell, and as the air flow spread, the zombie was bounced away like a wheat cutter and fell to the ground.

The zombie king was not bounced off due to his weight, but it was not comfortable.

"So, let's turn you into an ice sculpture first." Pushing a pair of glasses, I aimed my staff at the Zombie King, who was still in flames.

Now that I've gained the power of magic, I'm no longer the one you're chasing around.

A strong cold snap flowed from the tip of the staff, and I waved it, and the [Magic Book] opened beside me.

"[Ice Arrow]."

A steady stream of ice bombs froze the body of the zombie king, and the increasingly sluggish body reminded the zombie king to retreat.

"It's too late to run!"

As soon as the words fell, the Zombie King raised his arms and slammed them on the ground, which cracked.

[Flash]! Seeing that the situation was not good, I quickly got out of the ground under my feet.

"It looks like it's just a dying throe."

While I was working as the Frozen Zombie King, the soldiers and mages in the city were very cooperative in dealing with the monsters they wanted to get close to.

As the mages put the defensive magic of [Body Protector Kamikaze] on all their soldiers, the role of the skeleton archers was reduced to almost nothing, and the tragic skeleton archers were like cannon fodder, useless.

Finally, the zombie king couldn't move.

I felt that I still had enough mana, and smiled at the zombie king who was frozen and was constantly trying to struggle.

"General!"

―――――――― the dividing line where the liver is completed――――――――

When the first rays of the morning sun fall on the earth, we all know it.

The battle is over.

The deep exhaustion caused everyone to fall asleep on the spot after cheering.

Akai and I are no exception.

The sun is so warm...
