Chapter 70: The Bait (Part II)
The earth is trembling!
20, 30...... Hundreds of ogres roared in rage, and the screams that resounded through the sky shook the entire Eternal Night Forest, and they rushed out of the valley from the narrow mountain pass in a frenzy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The female elf standing in the treetop couldn't even stand on her feet, but she tried her best to grab on to the branch next to her, and watched in amazement at the amazing scene in front of her, exactly like what a wizard said!
The roaring monsters were like rushing lava, destroying all the woods they had stepped on, desperately rushing in the direction from which the explosion had just come, and the continuous trampling sound seemed to collapse the whole world.
This guy ...... Did you really do it?!
What did he do to make these brainless monsters hate him like this?!
But now there's no need to know anything - when the expedition rushes into the settlement, slaughters the remnants of the enemy, and then seals off the valley, even hundreds or thousands of ogres won't be able to get in!
At this point, half of the battle has been won. Although the female elf who thought of this still had a shocked expression, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes.
We can win, we can put an end to this ogre invasion, and we can put to rest all the sacrificed brethren - Kono, Graceas, Andrea, Yuina......
Their deaths are meaningful!
And the elves will be able to fight back against the ogres once again, no longer have to hide behind the big tree walls, and resist the monster invasion again and again in fear and death.
"War Dancers, Attack the Eternal Night Forest—!!!"
Amid the shaking earth and the roar of the ogre, the heart-rending roar of the female elf overshadowed everything. Pick up the spear and be the first to run to the mountain pass of the Eternal Night Forest settlement.
The expeditionary party lying in ambush near the valley immediately rushed out of the woods, leaped down from the hills, and rushed out in all directions to attack the settlement of the Eternal Night Forest, and the sturdy figure flew through the sky and appeared above the valley like a ghost.
Almost all the ogres in the valley had been lured away by Loren, and the angry and terrified "Mezka" could no longer care about anything when he felt that "presence".
It must strangle this wizard, strangle this dangerous thing, and completely eliminate "him" at all costs, and must not let "him" appear in front of it!
It could feel that there was a threat in that tiny human being that could hurt it!
By the time the remaining ogres in the settlement noticed, the entire expedition had already poured into the settlement. In the face of nearly a hundred spear-wielding war dancers, these monsters still roared and rushed forward.
The elves didn't even use the ignition agent and throwing guns, and for the first time, the war dancers, who had an overwhelming advantage, clenched their spears and charged at the ogres!
Screams, wails, screams before death...... Even in those shouts, there was an emotion called fear, and the besieged ogres were powerless to fight back, and fell one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Eternal Night Forest was completely wiped out, and many young, red-eyed war dancers split open the ogre's head, roaring to vent the anger that had been pent up in their hearts for too long.
The aura of triumph permeated the empty ruins of the settlement, and only the elves still stared at the forest beyond the settlement, their emerald pupils glinting with worry.
Taking the Eternal Night Forest is only the first step, and they are far from victorious!
.................. In the blink of an eye, the roaring ogre "legion" was already close at hand.
With the "caster" holding the "Bright Silver" in his left hand and the "Heart of the Tree" in his right hand, Loren stood in place as if he had fallen into the void, roaming in endless time.
While borrowing Asriel's power, he also blurred the boundaries of himself, overlapping between the void and the substance, and the void and himself, which could only be felt with the help of spiritual power, were now as close as the relationship between pain and nerves, and the whole world became clear.
The earth trembled, and the roaring ogre waved its claws, ready to slap him into a meat sauce from above.
"May the void be with you. ”
The gray-blue sword kept making a hummingbird-like "chirp", but the figure of the black-haired wizard had disappeared from under his claws, drawing a strange arc above the ogre, and carrying a skull that had been cut open by a sword!
Loren, who was floating in the air in an instant, stepped on the ogre that had not yet fallen with his right foot, and the "bright silver" that had not yet dispersed was thrown from his right hand to the second ogre that pounced on him.
The "Bright Silver" is a blade made of the void, and there is no real sword body - the uncontrolled gray-blue sword light explodes with the ogre's skull the moment it touches it!
The leaping Loren caught the falling blade in mid-air, stepped on the ogre's bones and continued to move forward, rushing in the direction of the Valley of the Eternal Night Forest!
Come on, Mezka.
Let your pets try it and see if they can stop me?!
The roaring ogres were like a huge palm, constantly trying to pinch Loren to death, but he escaped again and again. And now, he was only a hundred feet away from the Valley of the Eternal Night Forest!
The bright silver in his right hand kept slashing, and in just a few moments, the figure of the black-haired wizard brushed shoulders with the ogre's claws countless times, and the wizard's robe on his body had long been tattered, revealing the armor underneath.
Nearly 100 ogres surrounded and annihilated a small human wizard, and even if it was replaced by Loren in the past, he would have long since died and had no place to be buried!
Every vessel, every heartbeat, every tense limb...... Under the unprecedented intensification of "Transcendent Perception", Loren felt that his whole body had fallen into the furnace, and the rushing blood contained endless energy!
The deafening roar made him unable to hear anything, the monsters behind him were still chasing and killing, and he didn't have time to think, and the black-haired wizard who had already done his best was still clear in front of him, and his wild footsteps left him with only an afterimage.
Rush over, rush over, the mountain pass is already close at hand!
"Ahh!!!!h
Roaring madly and hysterically, as if once again locked in a dream dungeon, without hesitation, he pierced the steel sword through his body, and galloped with all his might.
In the shaking field of vision, a slender figure appeared in the place of Yamaguchi, staring at him anxiously, as if he was still shouting something.
It's ...... Leah?
"Rush-!" Liya, who was standing on the hill, shouted desperately, "Rush-!!!"
The shouting female elf's eyes widened, and a dozen ogres suddenly appeared in the forests on both sides, and the black-haired wizard who was still running wildly together with the ones who caught up behind them.
In the blink of an eye, Loren's figure had disappeared without a trace.
"Loren—!"
The woods in front of him were instantly engulfed in flames, and the roaring fireballs instantly engulfed everything around them, and the firelight was torn apart by successive wails.
Liya, who was standing in front of the mountain pass, froze in place, staring motionlessly at the golden-red flames that were spitting, staring in disbelief straight ahead.
The black figure leaped out of the flames, and the tattered wizard's robes still had the light of fire, fluttering behind him like a cloak, and his footsteps landed steadily on the ground.
Tearing off the only remaining rags on his body, Loren walked into the settlement of the Eternal Night Forest with the calmness of his master. The Expedition Dancers, who had been waiting for him, stood on either side, making way for the human wizard.
Without saying a word, Leah followed him until the black-haired wizard came to the front of the cave in the settlement of the Eternal Night.
Directly above was the remains of the former cloud-canopy tree, and there were still a few roots left near the entrance to the cave - Metzka was hiding in it, and he could clearly feel the power, and it was extremely familiar.
That's right, just like Asriel once was.
"Until I come out of here, guard the Eternal Night Forest and don't let any ogres rush in. Looking back slowly, Loren and the female elf behind him looked at each other, and suddenly laughed: "If I'm still alive then, I'll be disposed of." ”
"You'd better think about how you're going to live!" the elf turned, her shoulders still trembling slightly.
Loren, who raised the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and stepped in without hesitation.
