Chapter 180

After sweeping away the monsters in Garen territory, Luke swept another herd of monsters which were located in the west of the duchy .

It would have been a tough task for ordinary wizards or knights, but he was a warlock who could absorb the mana of others along with the power of the golem legion in the palm of his hand .

In addition, the vampire Belfair, who always revived to a greater stage after sucking blood, was feeling great and there was no way he could feel tired after having so much blood .

The two of them turned much more dedicated to their task .

‘The power of dark magic has increased a lot more than what I expected . ’

While Belfair was scouting for places with monsters, Luke was looking into his current state .

When fighting the monsters he was using dark magic, and with Black Bind, he was able to absorb their power . Magi had increased considerably .

Just a little more, and he might achieve the 6th circle .

‘I had neglected the black circle training as there were many eyes on me . Whatever the situation, my source of power is dark magic . ’

In his previous life, he had the knowledge of 9 circle dark magic . However, with the low level of circles he had in the current one, those spells couldn’t be used .

‘I’ll need to pay a lot more attention to Magi absorption in the future . ’

And that didn’t mean that he was willing to neglect fencing or white magic .

Both of them were huge axes for their current state, and he had to train hard .

“Master, I found a monster army in the west!”

Belfair flying hurriedly reported .

“A large army?”

“It seemed like that . Looking from their direction, it seemed like they were heading towards the Akbar Fortress… the problem is, the one leading them is the Orc Hero . ”

The moment he heard the word Orc Hero, Luke’s eyes began to shine .

“Are you sure?” Luke asked .

“Yes, It was a lot like before, the same energy . ”

“Then we’ll chase them immediately . ”

Guided by Belfair, Luke began to pursue the Orc Hero .

And after a while, they found the monster army of 10,000 and chased after them stealthily .

‘This is the largest that I have ever encountered . And if led by the Orc Hero who’s good at both intellect and power, this will be a hard fight . ’

Even the soldiers who fight the battle vary depending on the commander and his strength .

If one saw the fight as easy, then they were definitely going to hurt themselves badly .

Luke tried to look for a good region where he could battle the legion .

He managed to find a suitable area for about a day from Akbar Fort . The narrow runway between the two hills seemed like a good place to stop the army with a few capable troopers .

‘This is a good one . ’

But when he was laying down the magic circles to prepare for the battle, another situation arose .

The monster army split into two along the way, and half of them went to the Akbar fort first .

It was news that the situation of the monsters attacking the fort wasn’t great, so Shaikan sent support groups first .

Luke wasn’t aware of the reason, but he wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to reduce their power .

Letting the first group pass, he immediately attacked the main army led by the Orc Hero .

“Kweeek! Weird men have appeared in the front!”

At the report from an Orc, Shaikan looked in the direction he was pointing at . It was a long way off, but with his draconian eyes, he seemed to see them clearly .

More than a hundred golems and two humans stood in the narrow cross between two hills .

‘No, one of them isn’t a human . ’

Blood Incense and the energy of Magic felt from the man dressed in black weren’t humans .

‘Maybe a demon? Then the humans next to him would be a warlock . ’ The Orc Hero, Shaikan thought .

But the man with silver hair seemed strange .

Like a knight, he had a sword dancing on his waist, and the energy his body released; along with the dark magic he seemed to have an overwhelming aura .

‘What on earth is that guy devouring?’

He heard a story from the dead Steven about a Rune Knight, and he was being greeted with a dark knight .

The curiosity rose in Shaikan as he saw a human being whom he had never even seen in books .

A platinum armor wearing man stepped forward and opened his mouth .

The amplification of magic happening due to his words was very clear even from the distance .

“Are you the Orc Hero, Shaikan?”

His eyes looking at Shaikan, seeing that monsters began to appear in front of him to save him .

“You know about my identity?”

Shaikan asked with nervousness .

Since the invasion of the Navarre duchy, he had been in charge of the monsters, but not once did he reveal his identity .

“Huhu, I know quite a few things . ”

At Luke’s answer, Shaikan asked by pointing to the golems which appeared behind him .

“Did you come here to stop me?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Luke answered .

“Yes . Since no one here is welcoming you . ”

“Kuk, that hurts my feelings . A warlock who is asked to kill on sight when spotted on the continent . ”

The one who would be the most unpleased was Emperor Rudolf .

If he knew that the Orc Hero was the 3rd prince, Reichard .

In any case, Shaikan had to deal with the strange humans behind .

He had to break the Navarre duchy and open the way to the Empire .

“I didn’t want to defile my sword with blood . ”

Shaikan pulled on the sword which was on his back, against Luke .

Swwosh!

“…!”

The sword flew at a frightening rate and ferocious accuracy .

Luke hurriedly deployed shield magic to block off the sword, and it bounced .

Kang!

No matter how strong Shaikan’s power was, the sword that bounced off the shield struck the golem which was near .

Luke was astonished, however, it wasn’t because of the sword and its force, but because of the moment that it returned back to the palm of Shaikan .

‘What is, this? Magic? No, it seems a little different from…’ Thought Luke .

Luke had no time to analyze leisurely .

In unison with the sword of Shaikan, the monster army launched their attack .
