Level 1 Player

Chapter 178 the final showdown

'come.'

Hyunseong gulped dry saliva while looking at the undead corps that appeared from afar.

‘The preparations are complete.’

In the meantime, he was fully prepared to lead the war against the undead army to victory.

Now is the time to pour out what you have prepared for the enemies.

‘Come on.’

A calabash-shaped canyon.

This was an advantageous terrain for allies and unfavorable for enemies.

The undead corps had no choice but to march through the narrow terrain.

On the other hand, the allies were able to pour concentrated fire on the undead corps gathered in a narrow terrain by spreading widely.

A group of troops were waiting on the canyon as well.

It was to pour concentrated fire on the undead corps trying to climb the canyon or pass through the canyon.

‘What are you going to do?’

There is a possibility that the Undead Legion will bypass the calabash-shaped canyon.

But to bypass the calabash canyon, you have to go quite a long way.

That meant more time for Hyunseong.

From Hyunseong's point of view, the more time, the better.

The Undead Legion can no longer increase its troops no matter how much time is given.

On the other hand, Hyunseong was able to strengthen the quantity and quality of his troops by collecting more points the more time he had.

The choice of the undead corps was simple.

It was the choice of dividing his troops, some entering the canyon, and some directly crossing the rugged canyon.

Left ah ah ah!

Millions of undead legions began to climb the rugged canyon.

‘Even if there is damage, I will not give you any more time.’

It was an attitude to accept the disadvantages of the terrain.

It would be impossible if the army had consisted of players.

But the enemy's army was already made up of dead bodies.

Therefore, there was no hesitation in carrying out the operation to bear the damage of the troops.

No matter how many times the undead is killed, they will come back to life.

‘I won’t make you regret it.’

Hyunseong hired a lot of his mercenaries.

Shushshushshook!

Tens of thousands of mercenaries made up of first-level players joined among the friendly forces.

‘It can last about four hours.’

From Hyunseong's point of view, we had to see the match in that.

- Aaaaaaah!

- Whoa!

Undead monsters climbed the cliff.

“Attack!”

“Shoot down all the undead!”

Players waiting on the hill poured an onslaught.

Normally, even if the body of the undead was damaged, they had to recover quickly.

But this time, things were different.

The attacks with the light attribute buff interfered with the movement of the dark attribute magical power that moves the undead.

Whoa!

And the attacks of high-level players with light attribute magic… … .

- Kyaaaah!

- Aaaaah!It boasted a powerful enough power to return the undead back to their corpses.

‘It should be like that.’

All the profits from points accumulated, new games, and exchange jewels 3 were invested in hiring mercenaries.

Where is that?

A large amount of skill books were invested in rankers with light attribute magic of the earth and invader dimensions.

To be honest, the effect was rather weak for a large amount of investment that had been made out of pockets.

But that was only Hyunseong's impression.

“Wow!”

Allied players rejoiced as the undead collapsed helplessly and burst out with a loud shout.

From their point of view, the undead, who kept coming back to life even after killing them, had to be difficult.

However, the undead cannot be resurrected after being hit by a normal attack.

This was like a miracle for players who had previously faced the undead.

Doo doo doo!

At that time, the undead corps began to rush into the narrow canyon.

‘That one is real.’

Most of the undead who climbed the canyon were of low to medium level.

On the other hand, the undead who broke through the narrow canyon head-on were made up of high levels.

-attack!

Hyunseong gave the order with the cry of the Overlord.

“Fire Storm!”

"tornado!"

“Great Thunder!”

Ranged players poured attack skills.

Aww! Aww!

All kinds of skills swirled between the narrow canyons.

However, the undead corps did not collapse easily.

He was passing through the canyon without much damage while using the defensive skill.

-let's go!

Allied high-level players who were waiting with Hyunseong's shout rushed towards the undead corps.

Of course, Hyunseong was at the forefront.

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong's whole body was dyed with jet-black lightning and flames.

Wow! Wow!

At the same time, dragon scales appeared on Hyunseong's skin.

‘Suppress the momentum in the first half.’

There was no intention of saving power.

From the beginning, he planned to destroy the undead corps with all his might.

Therefore, the skills that were saved and the profession-specific skills such as territorial declaration were all activated.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A pitch-black thunderstorm and a storm of flames raged, and the undead legions were swept away.

Following Hyunseong, allied high-level players also pushed the undead corps using all kinds of attack skills.

“Kill!”

“We have to see the final decision here!”

“Players who run out of blessings, move to the rear and receive the blessing again!”

All kinds of shouts and swear words covered the battlefield.

The kings and lords under Hyunseong also fought desperately.

They knew that if they lost this war, they would have to risk their lives.

At first, it was the allies' dominance.

However, as time passed, the undead corps began to push their allies.High-level undead were not easily crushed by any shock.

In addition, the necromancer was also concentrating his magic on the high-level undead, whether he knew the importance of this fight.

“Aaaah!”

"away! away!"

As the undead were smashed, the sacrifices of friendly players also increased.

However, fortunately, thanks to the blessing of light attribute magic received in advance, the dead ally did not become undead.

Of course, there was also bad news.

‘The blessing of light attribute magic doesn’t work properly.’

The high-level undead that had been destroyed were resurrecting.

'This is what I focused my magic on.'

Although light attribute magic was the natural enemy of dark attribute magic.

However, on the other hand, dark elemental magic was also a natural enemy of light elemental magic.

What if dark attribute magic is more powerful?

Light attribute magic loses its power more quickly.

‘Let’s see who wins.’

Hyunseong distributed magic power to his subordinates and scattered the Book of Flames even more strongly.

Fatty and Deokgu were also working hard around the battlefield.

The power of the Book of Fire extinguishes the source of the undead.

In other words, no matter how much magic power, the undead that were destroyed by the book of flames could never be resurrected.

Hyunseong moved diligently.

‘I have to see the final decision in four hours.’

It is a war involving millions of large armies.

In the case of ordinary human warfare, it may not be won even after years, not days, days.

But the players' war was different.

It could take a long time, but conversely, it could end in a short period of time.

In the midst of a fierce battle, most of the undead corps entered the canyon.

Allied players who were fighting on the canyon were eventually pushed by the undead and joined the allied main force.

The undead took full control of the canyon and the passageway.

-blasting!

Hyunseong, who saw the appearance, gave instructions with the monarch's cry.

Aaaaaaaaah!

At that moment, the canyon completely collapsed with a loud bang.

The undead, who had just passed through the canyon, were crushed by a huge rockfall.

When the canyon collapsed, the undead that occupied the canyon also smashed the ground and were buried in dirt and stones.

-2nd blast!

At Hyunseong's order again... … .

Aaaaaaaaah!

This time, the ground the undead was treading on exploded in a splendid way.

Duck Duck Duck!

The ground twisted as if an earthquake had occurred, and a huge mushroom cloud pierced the sky.

‘It’s like a scene from a movie.’

Hyunseong thought with a smile on his lips.

Thanks to the words of Yoona Shin, who is currently fighting hard, Hyunseong threw away her stereotypes.

So, they mobilized Earth's powerful firearms in this war.

‘A normal missile would be shot down in the middle, but a preloaded bomb is a different story.’

Blasting work has been done in advance so that the canyon can be collapsed.

A large amount of hydrogen magic bombs were buried on the ground where the undead were stepping on them.

‘Modern weapons work in the dungeon, but not here.’

In my mind, I wanted to drop a nuclear bomb directly on the undead corps.But it was canceled.

It was because the probability of being shot down in the middle by the undead corps was too high.

If you were intercepted in the middle and the nuclear bomb was dropped in the wrong place, it would be a big deal.

So they buried hydrogen magic bombs under the feet of the undead.

‘What a weapon that combines nuclear fusion and magical power.’

No matter how immortal the undead is, they will inevitably be damaged by nuclear weapons.

In addition, a large amount of mana stones were included to maximize the explosive power.

The explosion mixed with the magical power contained within the manastone was enough to damage even a non-physical Ghost-type monster.

However, the undead has a physical body.

In other words, the physical attack power of the hydrogen magic bomb had to be received without any increase or decrease.

‘Well, let’s see.’

Whoops!

Through the black smoke, the undead corps began to march again.

‘It would have no effect on high-level undead.’

Hyunseong looked at the undead corps that appeared through black smoke.

The number was much lower than the first.

However, there was no significant change in the number of high-level undead.

In fact, it was normal.

This is because the strength of high-level players has already far surpassed the firepower of Earth's weapons.

'Still, I've cleaned up the clutter.'

With this attack, the low and medium-level undead were neatly organized.

Maybe I can resurrect it, but... … .

‘I will not.’

The necromancer has already consumed quite a bit of mana to defend against this attack.

In such a situation, would you resurrect the low-to-mid-level undead, which are difficult to be of much help right now?

If he did that, it was rather helpful for Hyunseong.

‘It would be better to be prepared.’

Hyunseong smiled as he watched the undead corps advance through the smoke of the explosion.

If you think this is the end, you are mistaken.

Because Hyunseong didn't have one or two numbers prepared for this war.

* * *

Shizura led her body, which had been torn apart, and moved forward.

Her body, which had melted in her flames, returned to its original state in an instant.

‘It’s a big blow.’

With this attack, 90% of the undead corps was smashed.

‘How the hell did you do that?’

I could feel the magic, but it was quite weak.

It was a pure explosion that struck the undead under his command this time.

‘Emperor, you have prepared quite a lot. But it will be of no use.’

Most of the undead had disappeared, but the magic they possessed was absorbed by themselves and the high-level undead.

There it wasn't the end.

‘A lot of people have died.’

Many players lost their lives in the fight between the undead and the players.

Although it was not possible to resurrect them as undead due to the blessing of light attribute magic.

However… … .

Aaaaaaah!

Along with the morale they left behind, the negative emotions such as fear, anger, and hatred were replaced with magical power and permeated into the body of Shizra and the Undead Corps.

‘I am not defeated.’

The deceit that the living spit out when they die.

The fear and hatred felt by the living when they die.

As long as those two driving forces exist.

The undead corps led by Shizra was an immortal army that never collapsed.

* * *

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

The undead corps began to charge with angry screams.

The number has obviously decreased.

However, the magic power and ferocity that they radiated seemed to have increased.

‘The total amount of reduced magic power is less than expected.’

The undead corps share all their magical powers with each other.

Then, as the number of undead corps decreased, there had to be quite a bit of damage.

However, the amount of loss of magical power emitted by the undead corps that survived the explosion was not so great.

In terms of numbers, it only decreased by about 1/3 of the level that Hyunseong expected.

‘In terms of the total amount, it has decreased quite a lot, but… … .'

The original undead corps had so much magical power that it was hard to say that it was a big blow.

‘Are you also replacing fraud and negative emotions with magic?’

It was the only way the magic that didn't exist could be created.

There was nothing special about it as it was a method of replenishing magical power commonly used by necromancers.

‘Well, as the number is reduced, there are many advantages.’

Hyunseong prioritized only the advantage.

Once the number of undead corps decreased.

This meant that the firepower of players with light attribute magic, which had been scattered widely, could be concentrated in one place.

- Activate it.

Hyunseong ordered the activation of the magnetic barrier prepared in advance through his subordinates.

Fragile!

At that moment, the movement of the Undead Legion was noticeably slow.

And some even fell to the floor.

The magnetic barrier worked properly.

"let's go!"

Hyunseong ran forward with a shout.

Following Hyunseong, the first-level players hired, including Lucia and Partisha, rushed in all at once.

Aww! Aww!

All kinds of skills poured like rain and swept the undead.

A book of flames that destroy the root fell like rain, and light attribute attack skills, which can be called rat poison to the undead, raged like a storm.

- Whoa!

The undead struggled and resisted, but to no avail.

As long as the magnetic barrier was activated, the undead could no longer use their power.

Because the magical energy he was using to use it would trap himself.

‘It’s a pity that the range of the magnetic barrier is too narrow.’

Magnetic barrier is a creation level skill.

Even kings and high lord-level powerful people can't escape from their absolute power.

But there were also many drawbacks.

The skill casting time is long and the cooldown time is long.

Crucially, the area of ​​the magnetic barrier itself was not very wide.

A battlefield where hundreds or thousands of people fight together would be enough... … .

‘Over 100,000 undead have survived.’

The number of undead was so great that only about 1/4 of the total force could not be included in the area of ​​the magnetic barrier.

‘Still, this is enough for a yangban.’

It was possible because it was driven properly.The effect would have been better if it had been driven into a small castle, but as long as there is a necromancer, if you are too greedy, you may not be able to see the effect of the magnetic barrier at all, so this was appropriate.

When Hyunseong and the level 1 players are having fun smashing the undead.

Passus!

The undead, who were being attacked helplessly, suddenly became powder and disappeared.

'Damn it.'

Hyunseong frowned.

The effect of the magnetic barrier is that one's own magical power is constricted.

Conversely, it also meant that the magnetic barrier would become useless when the magic power disappeared.

‘I reacted faster than I expected.’

The disappearing undead have not yet entered the realm of the magnetic barrier, a new one has been created behind the scenes.

It was a new summons after harvesting the magic that the necromancer gave to the undead.

'You weren't human either.'

Seeing that, Hyunseong recognized the identity of the necromancer.

In fact, he was strange.

Because the skill to detect magical power and the skill to detect life force were useless in front of the necromancer.

But what if the necromancer is undead?

All questions are answered.

Since they share magic power with the undead under their command, there is no point in detecting magic.

Since it is an undead rather than a living creature, it is meaningless to detect life force.

Also, there are various types of undead.

Of course, among them, there were cases where they became undead themselves.

That too, while retaining the intelligence it had while alive.

‘In the end, to get rid of you, you have to get rid of all the undead, that’s it.’

The necromancer is the undead.

It shares magic power and life with all undead.

Hyunseong smiled brightly.

‘I don’t have to worry about getting a headache later.’

If you clean up the undead legions, the necromancer will die together.

‘It is impossible to find you, but it is possible to kill you.’

Hyunseong's biggest worry was that even if the undead corps were cleared up, if the necromancer was still alive, it would be a no-brainer.

But now there is no need to worry about that.

If only they wiped out the entire undead army in this place.

- Total attack!

Hyunseong ordered a general attack through the cry of the overlord.

The current undead legion was a rat in a poison.

The explosion of a hydrogen magic bomb collapsed the canyon, blocking the escape route.

When I try to run forward, I am blocked by a magnetic barrier.

Due to the nature of the calabash-like terrain, the Undead Legion was like a baby rat trapped in a confined space.

“Turn Undead!”

“Hammer of Divine Light!”

“Avenging Wrath!”

Players with light attribute magic poured all kinds of ranged attack skills.

Normal players also poured all kinds of ranged attack skills.

The undead corps also defended with defensive skills and ranged attack skills.

However, in this type of long-distance battle, the spread of the undead corps was far more advantageous than the undead corps gathered in one place.

Crucially... … .

‘In this way, the morale of the dead or negative emotions cannot be replaced with magic.’

The number of players killed was significantly lower than in close combat.

Moreover, the distance was too far to absorb the morale of the dead player.

Also, because I thought that my allies had the upper hand, there was no way that negative emotions such as fear and hatred could come out.- Whoa!

- Kyaaaaah!

The number of undead corps began to decrease rapidly.

The undead corps tried to escape over the collapsed canyon ruined by the explosion of a hydrogen magic bomb belatedly.

However, the height of the collapsed canyon was also considerable.

Allied players were encamping on top of the collapsed canyon.

The tanks firmly formed the camp.

Behind them are dealers armed with ranged skills and light attribute skills.

Lastly, Yoona Shin, whom Hyunseong gave the overlord's blessing directly, was literally smashing the undead climbing the canyon with her body covered in brilliant light.

‘This is our victory.’

The Undead Legion was a rat in a poison.

The magical power they possess only decreases, but does not increase.

What if time passes like this?

In the end, the undead army slowly lost its power and had no choice but to die.

* * *

'That's great.'

Shizura opened her mouth as if in amazement amidst the fire of skill pouring from all directions.

'It's my fault.'

The enemies were not fighting where they wanted.

If it was the power of the Undead Legion, I thought it would be okay to ignore the terrain.

Rather, she thought that he should not give the emperor time.

It was because she thought that she could call on the same powerful beings again.

‘Were you an outsider anyway?’

Whether fighting here or giving him more time around the canyon, he thought that it would have been at a disadvantage for him anyway.

‘Since there are no beings I called last time, I think it’s true that they have a cooldown.’

Perhaps if he had given him more time to circle the canyon, he would certainly have called those powerful beings back then.

One way or another, from Shizura's point of view, there was no choice but to see the match here.

‘There is no dead body, so there is no morale, no despair and no fear.’

Completely at a loss for a way to replenish his magical powers.

The exit was also blocked.

The undead were annihilated one by one.

As a result, the magical power that is the basis of the undead corps that Shizura wields has also decreased.

'That's great, Emperor. But I will never be defeated.'

Shizura closed her eyes and reached out her hand.

Fight! Thumbs up!

At the same time, the undead, made of bones and rotten flesh, clinged to Shizra.

It was originally one, but the magical energy that had been divided into several vessels was united again.

There is only one reason why Shizura has dispersed the magical energy that Shizura has accumulated for hundreds of years to the countless undead instead of concentrating it on her body.

It was because Shizura's body could not afford the enormous magical power.

The body is a vessel for magical power.

What if magic that exceeds the limit of the vessel is projected?

It just drips or shatters the bowl.

To prevent this, Shizra used the undead to disperse his magic.

But it was no longer possible to win this war in such a way.

Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of undead were attached to Shizra's body.

As a result, Shizura's appearance was no longer visible.

Wow! Wow!

Numerous corpses gathered together.

Bone to bone meshed together, and the rotten flesh united into one.‘If the bowl is small, it’s enough to grow it.’

Shizura used her own body as the main body, absorbed his undead, and raised a body that became a vessel of magical power.

It was not a proper vessel, but a vessel that had forcibly increased its capacity, so it was not possible to control the magic power at will.

Part of the overflowing magical power returned to nature.

Another part destroyed the newly constructed body.

But Shizura took all the damage.

‘Anyway, victory is impossible under the current circumstances.’

Then he had to go on an adventure.

He had to bear the loss of magical power and loss of his body.

‘Now I can’t go back to the past forever.’

Shizura's original body was, at least on the surface, maintaining the human form.

So he was able to pretend to be the king of Shizra Kingdom.

This is because when she breathes life into her and casts a skill, he looks like a living human on the outside.

However, the newly formed body was no longer in human form.

A giant made of corpses.

That was Shizura's new body.

It was virtually impossible to return to its original form.

Even if you win this war and give up the magic in your imperfect body, the probability of it disappearing as it is was higher than the probability of returning to its original form.

‘I can’t help it.’

This was the path he had chosen for himself.

It was the path he chose for the freedom of all players, and it was the path to the fulfillment of his lifelong goal.

Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of corpses were entangled into one.

The moment when all the undead became one.

A tremendous amount of power and magical power erupted from Shizura's whole body.

- Whoa, whoa!

A huge undead created by tangled up with numerous corpses... … .

No, Shizura let out a loud roar.

“Aaaaah!”

“Gagging!”

Players covered their ears or vomited blood at the magic mixed with Shizura's roar.

Koo! Koo!

Shizura started climbing up the collapsed canyon.

The canyon that had just collapsed was so high that it took too long to climb.

But not now.

The collapsed canyon felt like a small hill.

“No, stop!”

“Kill!”

The players rushed towards Shizura and fired their skills.

‘Poor things.’

In Shizura's eyes, the players running towards him looked like swarms of ants.

In my mind, I wanted to select and kill only the lord players.

But even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

The newly created body was imperfect.

Therefore, fine-grained control was impossible.

Far from picking and killing only the monarch player, it was difficult to properly distinguish the players.

What Shizura can do now is… … .

Aaaaaaaaah!

Swinging its gigantic body, trampling on enemies... … .

- Kwakwakwakwakwaquaquawk!

It was all about swept away the enemies by emitting magical energy that seemed to explode at any moment.
