Chapter 100 Chapter 31: Nova Tactics
Elemental Burst], "Manlin Victor casts a spell on his master with his scythe, ready for war," [Weyland's Acid Cloak], [Delayed Acceleration]......"
Your (Fire], [Water], [Earth], and [Wind] within half an hour, the attack will be greatly strengthened. You will get [Acceleration to spell in under 10 minutes.] You gain [Acid] for one hour and will deal damage from [Acid's physical contact.]
"Are you done?" King Wotan asked, surrounded by his group of Valkyries. He had been observing Van Klele and his minions for almost half an hour.
"Soon." After Manlin Victor cast his last spell, Winkel replied, checking out his new class set.
[King Fisher] is the legendary embodiment of a nation, her people, her land, her joys and sorrows. Specialties: Monster creation, feng shui magic, and leadership. HP, SP, vitality and charisma increase. Perks Affected: [Monster Breeding].
Good. If it affects such a precious privilege as [Feng Shui], he will refuse to fuse. Vai

Giving this combo his blessing, it feels like this will be his last career upgrade.
Select Register. Your [Dungeon Breeder] and [Feng Shui Master] merge into the [Fisherman].
[Monster Breeding] changed to [Genius Track] [Genius Locus]: You are so familiar with the region you rule that you intuitively feel that disaster is coming. In addition, when you fight within your country's borders, all of your stats will be boosted by one stage.
"Are you sure you don't have to warn Gadmani first?" Manlin Victor asked Kia, the knight who insisted on going to war.
"I want to see this door for myself." [Paladin] replied, activating her own privileges. "If Odius is there, you will need all the help you can get. Do you all remember the strategy of ambush raids? Is everyone immune to fire and acid?"
Vai

Nodding. After the final disastrous battle with Odius, his minions come up with a strategy to cornering the fairies and preventing them from escaping. Trap the enemy, change the battlefield, and go straight to the commander. Manlin Victor's most powerful spell will herald the beginning of the offensive.
This time, don't play again.
"You ride Gorinich, I ride Neurk," said Manlin Victor on his nightmarish horse. "I changed my [Black Knight] mount, tested the potential synergy with His Majesty's [Rabbit Plague], and forewarned everyone at [Scarlet Research]. They're all set. ”
"Ah, but Gorinich wants to show the master his new (Ranger) privileges." When (the paladin) climbed on his back, Zmey grumbled. "Kia is nice, but she's not the host!"
Van Kerr was a little happy because his chief of staff had discovered the unnatural mistake of riding the Zmey, but it was clear that the knight Kia would still be in deep sin. "Open the gates, scourge of dragons." Vaquil almost commanded the former lord, and then drew on the power of the earth. "Of course I know."
His body brightened as natural energy was transferred from the soil to his limbs.
All of your stats have been boosted by two stages. Your's (erratic mana condition has been completely lifted.)
"I don't take anyone's orders," Wotan replied, but he opened a huge fairy ring, big enough to hold the group. "Onward, knights. I'm going to end the march. ”
Winkel walked ahead, ready to unleash a torrent of dragon fire at the first sign of attack, while Manlin Victor and Knight Kia followed in their respective mounts. King Wotan and his servants walked last.
In an instant, the dragon left the borders of the empire and came to the heart of the dark forest.
Even in the morning sun, the area looks gloomy and dark, with leaves so dense that even sunlight can't penetrate them. The grass under his paws was a poisonous weed, and the red-eyed carnivorous tree glared hungrily at Manlin present. However, Winkel's presence made them subtly retreat in fear.
In front of them stood a throne made of charred wood and thorns, reeking of the stench of half-rich elves, and several large stone doors. Van Kerr immediately recognized them as the design of the Fermorian and the vile work of Magmer.
As he led his men to the end of the march, King Wotan closed the fairy ring behind him. Then he struck the ground with his spear, and a thunderous sound echoed through the forest. Birds flew in all directions, and the woods became eerily silent.
A new fairy ring opens in front of everyone, and a wooden bagpiper in a floral coat walks in, followed by two metal giants. The two machines immediately reminded Wink of the tin foil golem he had abandoned in the Winter Kingdom. However, these are streamlined, nimble metal knights with wings, lightsabers, and cannon shields. The fairies painted them with silver and gold, as if to mock the nature of the treasure; The size of each machine is comparable to Winkel himself.
As for the Piper, the Emperor could recognize this dragon slayer anywhere.
Lin Intervention.
Merlin Lim
Crest Elves (Elves/Plants)
Level: 50 (Piper 25 / Necromancer 15 / Pest Lord 10)
Resistance: All Status Sickness, Critical Hits, Necromancy, Sounds, Diseases, Elves, Plants, Darkness, Poison, Instant Death, Physical Attacks.
Weak Pairs: Fairy Killer, Plant Killer, Dragon, Fire, Star Metal.
The vicious and cowardly Hamerin Piper, brother of Mel Odeus, is the source of the fairy plague that ravages the continent. His music can bring the dead back to life, unleash plagues, and summon monsters; He had tried to assassinate you and Winkel many times, and now he was acutely aware that his much more dangerous sister had run out of patience for his defeat. Although this bad seed lacks courage, his cunning and cowardice more than make up for his shortcomings.
Do you understand? Bad seeds, weeds? Because he's half a [plant]!
A [Bard] boost has some annoying [acting], good spellcasting, summoning abilities, but vulnerabilities that can be easily exploited. However, Victor frowned and turned his gaze back to the stone statue. As he feared, the last one was just a prototype. How many fronts are there?
"Where's Odeus?" Wotan asked, looking down at the monster with contempt.
"She's busy planning to wipe out the smaller races, and she's sent me to receive your tribute." The piper glared at Wankel. "How is he still alive?" Don't tell me you want to kill him in front of my eyes, like a warrior?"
"Odius wants me to give her his head. Since you are her agent, I will say it. ”
The Pied Piper seemed genuinely shocked by this answer, like Wota
The idea of betraying him is unthinkable. "You betrayed the superior race?"
"I didn't betray myself," Wotan replied with cold disdain. "I fulfilled my vow."
"Then you know the consequences." The bagpiper glared at Wota
The atmosphere was more tense than before. "Your kingdom will be burned because of it. Only if you kill them now will my sister forgive you for your betrayal. ”
"I welcome her challenge." The former lord replied nonchalantly, then opened his own portal. "But I don't believe you can live to threaten me. Wars beget wars. Let's go back to Asgard, my Valkyries. ”
The handmaidens nodded, and most of them passed through the portal. "Goodbye, knights." Wotan said, finally nodding at Varkel.
The dragon grunted, but saluted him in return. The former lord vanished, leaving the fairy ring behind him, leaving the two groups staring at each other.
"I don't understand what he means," said the Piper, "why resort to death for the sake of principle? Even with a soul, it's beyond my capabilities. ”
To emphasize his words, he immediately tried to open a fairy ring and escaped.
"Dazzling theater!" Winkel roared, and a huge golden energy cage covered most of the forest like a dome.
Lump.
Mel Lim's face slammed into his portal, unable to pass through. He touched it with his hand, and then suddenly realized that it was "Flashy Theater" that prevented him from escaping. "Oh," he said, and turned to face everyone. "Do you really want to duel old Hamerin?"
"You say this as if we are afraid of war." Winkel taunted him. "You timid rat, it took years to avoid it."
"Maybe, but you know what people say about Bane the Knight." Mel Lin raised his flute to his lips and prepared to play a melody. "Desperate rats bite cats. I thought our friendly warning last night would have made you understand that. ”
Kia realized, her gaze turned to the hard steel, "Not only are you threatening the entire country with bombs that are best left in warehouses, but you're the source of the plague that ravages the entire continent. "You can't go anywhere."
"Plague...... This is one of my best ideas, do you agree?" I don't know how many tears have been shed this year. ”
The knight raised her sword, and the two puppets blocked the battlefield, and the atmosphere became more intense. Victor glanced at it quickly.
Talos Titan
Advanced Talos Golem (Man-Made/Elf)
Strengths and weaknesses are variable (depending on [handicap variation]).
The definitive version of the Golem of Talos, the soldier chosen by Mel Odius and the tool of destruction. Because of Odius's trust issues, the souls and free will of these ruthless robots are suppressed. These killing machines can deal [Dragon Slayer] damage, alter their weaknesses to suit any current threat, fly, and are equipped with magically enhanced Earth weapons.
You're no longer dealing with your average nerd.
"Your Majesty, they are stronger than our enemies in the Winterrealm." Victor warns Winkel. While the plan required them to target the Piper first, and they had already earned around 40 levels after fighting the prototype, the two puppets could not be underestimated.
"Golems are made to kill, well, anything," Mel Lin said thoughtfully. "But mostly dragons. We have thousands of people waiting for us in Pryden. ”
"A million people can't protect you from me." Winkel warns that his attention is more focused than at any time Victor has ever seen. However, both sides remain in a tense standoff, unsure who will strike first.
"If we fight here, the Earth Gate will not survive." The piper blows magic with his fingers. "Look what you're missing."
As Victor raised his scythe and was about to give a signal, the huge stone door slowly opened.
Instead of showing the rest of the pitch-black forest behind, he saw the area behind the threshold very familiar, as Victor had seen in the photographs. A vast tourist landscape under a grey sky, covered by a ring of huge Druidic stones. The illusion flickered, as if the world on the other side of the portal was just an illusion.
"Stonehenge." Knight Kia said he was as surprised as Victor.
"You're from here, aren't you?" Mel Lim asked. "You can come back. The person you love is waiting for you on the other side. ”
"All I saw was a circle of stones," Manlin Victor said with a blank face. "I took a course on [evil temptations], and you know, you got a passing grade."
"Are you sure, Manlin?"
The picture of Stonehenge has changed, and the open nature has been replaced by familiar apartments.
Victor's eyes suddenly widened, and a familiar pair of humans entered his field of vision. He had been in Otraymond for almost ten years, living both in and outside Shilin, and he had almost forgotten what they looked like. The long brown hair, and the motherly face, became stern whenever she urged him to study; This serious-looking man, whose son always pretended to listen to his uncle's lessons, never listened.
They cooked as usual, as if he had never left.
"Mom?" Victor blurted out. "Daddy?"
"You see, I've been investigating you two, Bekele, Dalton. Although opening the gate will drain the water, we can see anything very well. Hamelin smirked viciously. I know where your family lives. ”
Mel Lin waved his hand, and the portal split in half, and another illusion coexisted with Victor's own life. Kia was stunned for a moment as a man who looked like Morgan Freeman appeared behind the portal and taught a five-year-old how to fish.
"Your mother died of grief, Bekele." Mel Lim taunts the Paladin. "She blames herself for your death. Because she let you date that stupid boy. As for your father, your death took away something that you will never come back to. Look at him, trying to fill the void with a new family, a new child...... Don't you feel bad?"
"Shut up." Chia replied, her grip on the sword tighter. "Do you think you can scare us by threatening them?"
"Oh, far from it. No, I am revealing this to you for the sake of peace. If you don't resist and let me go, I'll open the door for you to join them. Not bad, huh?"
"Don't listen to his lies, minions." Winkel said he was nervous like a leopard ready to pounce on its prey, but was still waiting for Victor's signal. "His promise was nothing more than a cruel joke."
"My kindness is sincere," Mel Lin argued in a gentle, sweet tone. "Why don't you go back to a senseless normal life and let us Ofremond natives fight our own war?" Go away. Go back to your loved ones. ”
Victor immediately noticed that there was something strange about the fairy's wording.
The intelligence check was successful.
"You're talking about normal life," said the Grim Reaper, guessing what he meant. "This system is not fully functional on the other side. There's nothing we can do there. ”
"You're overestimating yourself." Mel Lin laughed at them as he played with his pipe. "There's always nothing you can do. My sister won't be defeated, you know. Resistance is pointless. ”
"Big words, those cowards who run away from me every time they fight with me." Winkel replied disapprovingly.
Of course, when he saw that his arguments did not work, the piper immediately aimed at the heart. "Are you really so cruel that you let your loved ones suffer without knowing you're still alive?" He said, especially looking at Kia. "The people of this world don't need you...... But the people on the other side of the portal need it. "Are you that selfish?"
Victor knew in his head and heart that the demons were playing with them and taking advantage of their emotional weaknesses. Although he always thought that he had let go of the past, the minister hesitated when he saw that his parents were still alive.
They look close, but they are far away.
"No," Kia said, hesitating at first, then firmer. "Nope. No. ”
Victor exchanged glances with her, and immediately understood her thoughts.
Even though she may enjoy returning to her world and her father, she will never give up on this planet for anything.
As for Victor......
"Why?" Hamelin asked, confused by Kia's reaction. "I don't understand."
"Why? I have sixteen reasons!" Victor shouted before giving the signal. "Let's wa
udo !”
Van Kelle immediately lunged at Mel Lim, though time passed before he could reach Mel Lim.
As soon as time passed, the effect of Manling Victor's spell was revealed. Poisonous clouds enveloped the dark forest, both inside and outside his [dazzling theater]. A tall figure overshadowed the stone statue, just as he stood tall above Winkel when they fought; A new, friendlier golem joins the fray.
The weather conditions change to [Acid Rain]. Everyone exposed to the rain will have [Acid] damage over time, which is doubled to [Plants]. The effects of [acids] and [poisons] will be strengthened, while the effects of [plants] and [life] will be weakened.
His [Delayed Acceleration] activates and triples his speed, and Winkel jumps over the golem protecting Mel Lin and punches him in the face. His clenched fist, as big as his own, slammed him against the stone door of his own gate; The portal flickered, blurring and blurry.
"Bondage! The Piper roared while dodging another [Victory Fist], and Winkel's punch hit a small hole. In an instant, all the surrounding carnivorous trees began to move, uprooting themselves and swinging their branches like flails. The people outside the arena clung to it frantically, and the people inside attacked Winkel's retinue from all sides; The acid droplets melted their bark without delaying them in the slightest.
"Rolo Farm!" So the puppet Rollo responds to Manlin Victor's call and the challenge in front of him. The farmer hastened to rush through every plant monster between him and Hamelin; His every move shattered the trunk.
Mel Lim's Golem stepped forward to intercept Winkel to protect their master, only to be stopped by an even larger Golem. They looked up.
And up.
[Emperor Taras] let out a beastly roar, casting a great shadow over the forest; Even the puppet was only waist-high for him.

Asque attacks another. The reptilian giant was so huge that he easily lifted the machine up like a toy and savagely stuck it to the wall of [Dazzling Theater]. The whole earth trembled, and with every step he took, dozens of dryads were crushed.

own allies, because they are protected by protective spells.
With no one to protect him, Mel Lin suddenly teleports to a distance of only a few meters from Winkel, which surprises him.
"Ah, I see, your arena prevents the portal and teleports out, but not into or within its range," the bagpiper observed, bringing the instrument to his lips while trying to keep him and Vai as far as possible
queu
Leave space in between. "Come, my servants. Shields for pests. ”
A flock of cat-sized black mice crawled out of the grass at Merlin's feet, forming a massive barrier.
Although Winkel only wanted to crush or incinerate the piper, he remembered his strategy and stuck to it. Instead, he anchored himself to the ground, summoned his magic, and left the Piper in the care of Tin Foilrollo.
"[Terrain: Non-magical terrain, volcano]!"
As soon as Wankel commanded, the magma seeped out of the ground and set the grass on fire. Nearly all the plants within a mile were on fire, and the huge trees wailed in pain as the world became hostile to them. Some of the rats died from the heat, but most of them survived the fire using their brothers' corpses as blood blankets.
Meanwhile, Mel Lin was about to sing a song, but Rollo reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder. Despite his natural resistance to physical attacks, the blow caused golden blood to flow from his mouth.
While Winkel focused on transforming the land, he glanced at his allies, overseeing their progress. Acid rain and magma—once again protected by his minions—quickly knocked down most of the dryads. Only the puppets remained.
One of them had fought in aerial battles with knights Kia and Gorinich in an acid cloud near the ceiling of the arena; The machine tries to pierce Zmey with its blade, and he and Knight Kia retaliate with elemental breath and light, respectively. Both sides were in a hurry, but the golem took more than it gave.
The other machine behaved badly in front of Tarask, who was busy tearing it in half with brute force. Manlin Victor even ditches the reptile to take care of its prey and help Tin Foil Rollo.
"Rollo remembers how you burned his fields," the farmer said to Mel Lim, punching Rollo in the face and then two more despite the rats biting his ankle. "Rollo will use your corpse as fertilizer"
"I don't remember all the victims." The Pied Piper replied that his pest servants had managed to slow down the Golem, submerging him under their massive body and giving him a temporary respite. The teacher put the instrument to his mouth and sang a melody. "But they all remember me."
As the song echoes across the burning battlefield, a group of sick green ghosts hovers out of Mel Lim's pipe. They look like plague victims, sick humans, beasts and other creatures, roaring their resentment at the living with a piercing voice.
Merlin's [Hamelin's melody summons the ghost of the victim.
Rollo covered his face with his hands, but he couldn't stop the ghosts that came from all directions. Although he is strong, he is unable to hit invisible enemies, and rats also hinder his movements. Manling Victor rushed to the rescue on his nightmare horse and began to aim his scythe at the ghost, devouring souls.
"Are you sure Cybele won't be too angry?!" Vizier shouted to the (peasants) that Winkel had finished transforming the area, and Tarask swallowed the fragments of his last enemy whole.
"Old trees have to be burned often for new seeds to bloom." Foil Rollo replied, and after the last ghost was gone, he turned his attention to Mel Lin again. His role in combat is to capture enemy casters in close combat, preventing them from defending against attacks from other followers.
However, most of the work fell to Winkel. Even his favorite, Manlin, is only meant to buy him time so he can launch an overwhelming attack.
His rats formed a barrier of flesh around him, and Mel Lin began to sing a harsh, terrifying elegy, surrounded by the power of sorcery.
Merlin's [Azathoth Lullaby] will ......
"You didn't face a magnanimous dragon today, fairy!" When the stage was in place, Winkel yelled. "You are facing the catastrophe of this era!" (Feng Shui)!"
Feng Shui Activation! Field Type: Volcanic.
Effect: (Burst).
Everything in [the dazzling theater] erupted in blinding flames.
Protected from fire and acid under the protection of magic, only Winkel and his allies survived this magical firestorm; Some, like Rollo, were thrown out by the force of the explosion, but the heat didn't hurt them.
At the same time, all of Mel Lim's rats evaporated in an instant, as did the last enemy puppet. The wizard's song was mixed with a howl of pain, his wood skin scorched by scorching flames, his magic pipe melting in his hands.
You have done a lot of [fire] damage!
The stone gate shattered before the violent explosion, unleashing rainbow-colored lightning in all directions. The space itself seems to tear itself apart into an unstable crack, appearing and disappearing in a flash, and then collapsing on its own.
Surrounded by ashes, the dragon turned to the last of its enemies. The scene reminded him of his first encounter with Wotan, whose great power (Ragnarok) shattered the piggy bank and knocked the dragon down before he could retaliate. Maggot had to thank Dragon Bane for teaching him this tactic.
However, alone, in agony, all the enemies gathered in his place, Mel Lin continued to sing.
In response to his disgusting song, Vai

], but these are black holes leading to the center of hell.
Moooooo
!
Purple tentacles larger than the towers of the dragon's castle protruded from the cracks and scurried around. The Tarasque roared at the challenge, only to be choked by the throat and limbs of an invisible monster larger than him. Another tentacle grabbed Rollo from behind and threw him to the ground.
Winkel fires a dozen fireballs at the new enemy, but Manlin Victor focuses his attention on the Piper. "Ignore the summons and hit the summoner!" The Reaper shouted, then fired [Hell Explosion] at the enemy. Mel Lin jumped out of the way, singing desperately, nearly tripping over the ashes.
Knights Kia and Gorinich swooped down from the air and rushed forward. A tentacle stopped Zmey midway, but [Paladin] jumped off his back and came to the front.
Pare!
With a swing of his sword, Knight Kia severed the warrior's right arm holding the pipe. Mel Lin let out an angry roar as his melody was interrupted, the rift closing, and the tentacles cut. Formo tries to dodge [Paladin's] fatal blow......
Just to get close to Vicker
"Wait!" The farmer raised his last hand in despair. "Please, I can-"
Van Kelle punched him, locked him up, and pinned him to the ground.
The door shut, and Gorinich stopped beside the group, the tarasques happily eating the tentacles. "We won! The cat said happily, and Rollo patted it on the side. “Go

YCH help!"
"You want to kill me while I'm sleeping, Mel Lim, and you're still hurting dragons when they're powerless to fight back." "There will be no dignity in your death. Victor opened. ”
His chief of staff raised his scythe.
"Good old Hamelin could die......," Mel Lin glared angrily and slammed his left hand to the ground.
"Enforcement of the judgment." Winkel ordered his ministers.
"But never alone!"
Manlin Victor decapitated him with a single swing, just like he did to McGonagall Mayer. Hamelin's twisted soul was dragged into the ghost's scythe and let out a final scream; His body turned to ashes and returned to the barren land that gave life to that pest.
The brutal, one-sided battle lasted less than five minutes; When he canceled his [Dazzling Theater], Winkel realized that he wasn't even hurt.
Congratulations! By organizing your retinue and leading them to a landslide victory, you are in the [Kaise
Got a level!

Even the system seems to find it too easy.
Luck check failed.
Manlin Victor's eyes widened in horror when he saw a glowing inscription on the spot where Merlin had fallen to the ground. Green runes.
"We need to evacuate!" He shouted. "Now."
The skill check was successful.
Van Kerr raised his eyes to the sky and immediately understood why; See them aiming at their position, even if the clouds obscure them.
A shooting star.
"Golden Road!" Winkel opens the way to his treasure, and his retinue rushes through his portal...... There is only one exception. "You, go over!"
The Tarasks looked up at the missile, unmoved, and continued to eat the rest of the tentacles.
Vai
queu
Almost use [α magnetism (scales)] to make him obedient, but realize that he doesn't have that much time left. With great annoyance, he walked through the portal and closed the bomb before it fell.
After leaving the Black Forest and coming to the warm surroundings of the Wink Chamber, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Wow, that's... Manlin Victor said, his horse snorting proudly. "Epic party, huh?"
"We have a tarask," Knight Kia replied on Golenich's back, then frowned. "Where is it?"
"Go see him, minion." Winkel ordered. He knew that the creature was almost indestructible, but he still feared for its safety.
"(Camilla's magic mirror)," Manlin Victor said, as a phantom mirror appeared in front of him. The surface became something that represented the Black Forest...... Or rather, what's left of it.
Hamelin's final curse razed a vast area, turning miles of forest into smoking craters. Tons of debris and flames rose into the atmosphere in the shape of a giant mushroom, a testament to the fairies' willingness to destroy their homes if necessary. A rainbow-shaped coat of arms appears near the ashes of Hamerin, a trophy waiting to be claimed by the victor.
In the midst of the ruins, the Tarasque people were busy enjoying their cooked tentacles, not worn.
But he's greener than ever.
"Well," Manlin Victor said, "I guess cancer rates aren't going to go down anytime soon." ”
