70 Territorial Defense (Bottom)

‘Wh, what the hell……?’

MC Jan was left speechless. She couldn’t help but be amazed at the excellent display of magic. It was such a huge wide-area magic. No. That magic was not exactly a wide-area magic.

[Th, that magic…… It, it’s Entangle! It’s 2nd class magic!!!]

[Can Entangle really exert that much power? Hundreds of hellhounds exploded even before they approached their base.]

[Hellhounds were known for the abilities attached to their bodies. They are not very strong themselves. The problem is that it explodes even if the attack is weak!]

Then, PD Kim Daeguk finally recognized him.

“Black Mage Ali……! Why is he with Legend Guild? Hurry up and put the caption on the bottom and pass it on to the MCs!”

Not long after, the MCs shouted in shock.

[A, a black robe and a black hat…… D, don’t tell me that’s Black Mage Ali?]

[The world’s greatest mage, Black Mage Ali, has joined Legend Guild!!!]

Along with their words, Ali tried to throw his magic at the flocking Bone Wyverns and the incoming hellhounds.

“Fire Storm.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Four giant tornadoes made out of fire went out and devoured the hellhounds.

[A, an incredible spectacle is happening right before our very eyes!!!]

[I, Is it even possible to summon four wide-area firestorms in a row? I know that the 2nd ranked in the country, Panther, could only summon two.]

Then, Genie’s lips curled up in a smile. Her voice rang loudly in the air.

“Our Legend won’t get pushed back that easily.”

***

[Our Legend won’t get pushed back that easily.]

“Our audience ratings are rising at a rapid pace!”

“We’re reaching 10% in ratings!”

“Our ratings are soaring with the appearance of Black Mage Ali!!!”

“Keuheu! As expected of Legend! We know that it’s not going to be easy on them but perhaps Genie was aware that they were going to dig the ground?”

“Yeah. I wonder how she knew that?”

“It seems like she really has a different view on things.”

They were not aware of it but Genie made use of Abel’s skills. One of Abel’s special abilities was called ‘Monster Analysis’. It was a simple skill. All it did was identify the characteristics of a monster. And Abel, who was using his stealth skills as well as the Monster Ability, noticed that something was strange when he looked at the hellhounds.

The hellhounds that were recreated by the Alchemist Rufel all had their front paws made similar to that of a mole. So once he used his Monster Analysis, he knew that they would try to ‘Dig the Ground’.

“Let’s keep this up! Just like this……! Hang on a bit longer!”

However, even though Black Mage Ali had appeared, the number of their enemies was still too much. Regardless, PD Kim Daeguk believed that their ratings would definitely achieve a high result.

What they weren’t aware of was that today would mark the day when ATV received their highest rating in their broadcasting history.

***

“Hoo?”

However, Rufel still had a relaxed smile on his face.

‘Humans have a lot of strong men in their midst, but……’

He knew that they would eventually be pushed back by their numbers. Rufel did not look too worried about their current situation.

And with that, the demons that were being pushed back by the firestorms, snuffed out the huge tornado of flames as they started to run forward.

***

Bang!!!

Crack—

Black Mage Ali hurriedly formed a solid shield in front of him when he saw a lightning strike coming at him. Being a high-leveled mage, his shield was much stronger and more massive than that of the ordinary mages.

When Black Mage Ali turned around to look for the source of the lightning, he saw a woman waving her hands. And along with the wave of her hands, the huge firestorms dissipated and dispersed in the air.

‘Dispel……?’

Black Mage Ali had realized that the opponent that he was facing was none other than Kenny, the Slayer of Anguish. According to the information provided openly, the Slayers were some kind of ‘Chimera’. A ‘Killer Weapon’ that was made just to kill. There was no accurate estimate of their level as of now. However, one thing was for sure, since she could dispel his magic then she clearly had a huge amount of magic in her body.

When Ali tried to use the wide-area of attack skills that he had saved to deal with the mobs flocking below him……

Bang—

A flash of lightning stretched out from her fingers as it targeted Ali. Ali hurriedly waved his wand to create a shield to counter and nullify the lightning.

“Let’s see. How about this?”

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!

Then, dozens of magic strands shot out of Ali’s wand, just like bullets from a gun. Most of them were only at 1st~2nd class magic but their strength and power was beyond what one could imagine.

Bang, bang, bang! Bang!

The Slayer of Anguish also hurriedly created a black shield to protect herself from his attacks. After successfully defending against his attacks, a wicked grin flashed on her face.

Then, Ali folded his arms in front of him.

“Fuck off.”

“……?”

Then……

Baaaaang!

A huge white ball hit her on the back of her head. Then, Ali raised his middle finger at her.

“It’s the SuperUltraGreat Magic Missile.”

“……”

The Slayer of Anguish’s face distorted when he saw Ali’s provocation and taunt.

***

Meanwhile, below……

The members of Legend Guild were all preparing for the battle with tense and bated breaths.

“Crazy……”

“You’re really very ugly.”

“Haaaa. Can we even come back alive?”

Each and every single one of them had complicated expressions on their faces. Ali was putting up a good fight but he only inflicted damage on 1/20 of the forces that came for them. What was worse was the fact that Ali would definitely have halved his mana since he was using his wide-area of attack spells continuously.

“We have to watch out for the Silver Wolves and those demons.”

The demons that were deployed this time were much stronger compared to the previous ones that attacked Allentian. This was what they had confirmed after Abel used his Monster Analysis.

“Their defense and offense are far more overwhelming compared to the previous one.”

“Ah. Don’t be too discouraged. Abel hyung~”

Abel smiled wryly at Ace’s words.

But what if it’s the truth?

Before they knew it, the guild members were all using their wide-area of attack skills to the enemies that approached them. Ace even used his best skill.

“Flaming Red Hell’s Carriage!!!”

Four horses with flames licking on their bodies jumped out of space. Behind them was a huge carriage that was as large as a five-ton truck. The carriage approached the enemies at a rapid pace.

Meanwhile, Ascar had drawn a circle with her two katanas.

“Ghost Sword’s Slaughter.”

The space within the circle was torn apart as hundreds of swords popped out of it and flew towards their enemies.

On the other hand, Khan had pulled his arm back as the mana from the surroundings concentrated at the end of his fist. The mana even started to heat up.

“Exploding Heat Fist.”

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Abel also threw his dagger one after another.

“Life’s death!!!”

When the dagger was thrown, hundreds of afterimages were formed.

Their attacks all pushed forward towards their enemies, the demons. Before they knew it, the Hell Carriage was already in the middle of the enemy camp. The carriage stopped gobsmack in the middle of their enemies before exploding and creating an 8-meter crater.

Baaaaaaaaaang!

Ascar and Abel’s hundreds of swords and daggers afterimages stabbed through their incoming enemies, effectively knocking them down. Even the Exploding Heat Fist blew and opened the way in the middle of the incoming troops.

The Guild Members continued to throw their wide-area of attack skills. They were able to hunt more than 600 mobs in one fell swoop. However, there were still a lot of the enemies that were fine and energetic. It was none other than the Silver Wolves.

They were only barely able to scratch some of the Silver Wolves but no matter what they did, they were still running at them furiously.

“Are there anyone with a wide-area of attack skill left?”

“No, no, nope!”

“No can do!”

“Then, what’s left?”

“Only hand-to-hand battle.”

Locke and Khan raised their heads as they breathed roughly. All they could do was look forward. They could see that their guild members seemed nervous. Then, Locke said to them……

“Did you guys see the recently released ‘Nivengers: Bam, It exploded. Whoa’?”

“Hey, of course I watched it!”

“It was fun. Chanos! You son of a bitch!”

They laughed just to shake the tension off of their bodies. Even Khan, who usually did not resort to doing weird things like Locke, also agreed just to shake off his nerves.

“Then, let’s do that.”

“What?”

He had his hands crossed on his chest as he shouted……

“Legend forever!!!”

It was the Prince of Nakanda’s famous line.

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

The faces of the members of Legend Guild looked like they were saying what was wrong with him.

“Legend Forever!!!”

“Legend Forever!!!”

Not long after, both sides met and conflict happened.

Slash!

Stab!

Baaaaaaang!

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

“Keuhahahaha! Die! Die! Do you know who I am?!!!”

“Punk!!! I am very confident!!!”

Slaaaash!

Feeling the tension from hunting the terrible and frightening demonic beasts, demons, and mole-like hellhounds, the guild members all spewed out funny lines all on their own. Somehow, doing something like this had easily released their tense nerves and increased their efficiency.

“Punk!!! What did you do with your commander yesterday?!!! Did you eat together?! Huh?!! Because I did!”

Flash!

That was Locke’s voice, shouting loudly while he hunted the incoming demons.

Then……

Ascar, who had always been quiet, shouted just like the real goddess of the battlefield with her fluttering silver hair and katanas raised highly……..

“S, stop moving……! Did you even take your weapons?!”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….Th, that’s great.”

With her guild members’ reactions, her face reddened in shame. Just like a tomato.

Meanwhile, the commentators were shouting……

[That’s really amazing.]

[How can they defend themselves with such small forces?]

[Legend Guild’s contribution is soaring! Without knowing it, it’s already reaching a sky-high number!]

[Th, they’re not being pushed back! On the contrary, they’re even pushing forward with overwhelming strength!]

[It’s like they’re telling us this…… ‘We’re the best of the best among the humans!!!’.]

[It’s still in the early phase. They need to spare some energy. Due to the skills’ cooldown and reduced MP, we expect them to last less than 10 minutes.]

[Right at this moment, a Silver Wolf is running straight towards Ascar!]

“Kyaaak!”

A giant Silver Wolf jumped up and bared its teeth at Ascar. Despite attacking it with all her might, she was barely able to leave a scratch on its body.

“Grrrrrrrrrr!”

Just as she was going to be devoured……

“Heup!!!”

A strong and flashing white light enveloped Khan’s fists. And as soon as he stretched out his fist……

Shweeeeeeeee—

A thin and long force stretched out from his fists, tearing the back of the Silver Wolf’s head. It had the sharpness of the sword!

Chiiiiiiiik—

‘How high is this guy’s defense?’

Not long after, Abel shouted at them.

“According to the Monster Analysis, Silver Wolves have a special magic that reduces the skill damage by 50% while increasing their defensive power by 2x!!! It won’t be easy to kill!”

“Goddamn!”

However, thanks to that short window of time, Ascar was able to escape the clutches of the Silver Wolf.

Right now, there were 30 Silver Wolves approaching them. The Silver Wolves easily broke down their encampment as they began to approach them furiously.

Khan looked around coldly.

Because of their skill cooldown, the number of plain attacks had started to increase. However, even that began to fall down due to their lack of stamina.

And……

Step, step—

The Slayer of Failure, who was wrapped in bandages from his head down to his toe, was walking towards them. The man who had a long sword strapped behind his back looked like he was out of it which was very strange considering the situation that they were in.

Abel quickly moved to observe the Slayer of Failure to confirm his information. But when he saw the information, he couldn’t stop himself from letting out a loud gasp.

‘611……?’

TL’s corner!

Although I miss Minhyuk, I’m glad that these chapters are showcasing a bit of the strength of Legend Guild. I mean, they’re the elite minority and they could stand their ground against thousands of demons with just their strength.
