The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 223

Episode 223

“You’re trying so hard.”

In the distance, at the entrance to the fortress, the blue traces of the Auror blades were constantly flashing.

Three or four demonic beasts were shedding black blood and disappearing at once, but it was only the tip of the iceberg.

‘As long as the gate is open, the game is already decided.’

Keriapon, the Empire’s 7th Circle warlock, turned his head with a wry smile.

“No reaction yet?”

“Your transmission line is connected, but it’s still quiet.”

“Tsk tsk. It explodes slowly…”

This is an open space to the west, a little away from the main imperial army.

About twenty wizards and a dozen knights, accompanied by soldiers, stood guarding three large magic circles.

If the magic circle here worked as planned, the fall of the wall would not be a problem.

‘Well, considering the current situation, I wonder if this is really necessary.’

Already on this battlefield, including himself, three superhumans and five demons from the empire have settled down.

On the other hand, there was only one master left on the wall side.

Despite this difference in power, there is only one reason why they are waging a war of attrition using magical beasts.

This was due to the defense system of the wall itself.

‘It’s annoying.’

Overload system.

The Overlord system, modeled after the defense system of ancient seals, supplies almost infinite mana to designated knights within the barrier range.

I wonder what that has to do with it, but it means that top-level Expert knights will be able to use ‘Temporary Auror’ without restrictions.

Even if it’s a ‘temporary Auror’, an Auror is an Auror.

The concentrated and refined power of mana was a threat even to superhumans, so it could not be easily seen.

In addition, the holy relics and sacred barriers placed throughout the wall restricted the power of the demon empire’s superhumans who used magic energy and black magic energy.

The wall was not called impregnable for nothing.

“Cluck. But that reputation lasts until today.”

The wall’s defense system was bound to consume a huge amount of mana.

To provide that energy, it had its own supply system, but some of it was drawn from ancient seals that lay dormant beneath the Wall.

‘Because the seal was released in our hands.’

It took a whopping ten years.

Even planting spies in the heart of the wall and infiltrating human bombs to be sacrificed.

It took enormous investment and sacrifice, but the operation was ultimately successful.

The seal under the wall was broken, a whopping ‘Earl-level’ demon and his subordinates were summoned, and the supply of magic power to the wall was disrupted.

The constant attacks of demonic beasts and imperial troops were depleting the wall’s mana reserves.

If this continues for just a few days, all threatening defense systems will fail.

‘And once the transmission is finished, that time will be much faster.’

At that point, it didn’t matter how much enemy support arrived.

Because the main force here was also advancing towards the wall.

Support position.

“Oh!”

“There is a signal! “Hurry and induce transmission!”

“Tightly guard the area around the magic circle! “Enemies may be targeting this place!”

It seemed that the separate unit had finally finished the job.

I heard that the seal there was also a gate connected to a demon of at least an earl level or higher.

‘It’s over. Clue.’

Faaaat.

Black magic energy began to run wild in the magic circle.

The wizards generously infused mana and stabilized the magic circle.

The transfer will be completed in approximately ten minutes.

“Tch. He’s quick to notice. Everyone ready for battle!”

At that time, Master Hansley, who was running rampant in front of the castle wall, seemed to have noticed what was happening and led his knights towards him.

Two masters from our main unit have marched out to stop him, so he won’t be able to get here that easily.

‘If the timing is right, this could be the end of the battle?’

It was natural that the farther away they were from the wall, the less power they could receive.

If we surround the enemy commander and deal with him here, it will only be a matter of time before the wall falls.

“Tsk.”

What’s disappointing is that the demons don’t seem to have any intention of moving right away.

‘They’re like scary people.’

The demons who descended into the present world were not able to use their original power right away.

They needed ‘magic energy’ to use their power, and it took time for the magic energy flowing from the Dark Gate to spread across the battlefield.

That was the reason why they stayed in the temple and just watched.

bang! Pretzel Gwang!

“Hwiyu~.”

The Special Attack Knights of the Wall, led by Lord Hansley, and the Master Knights of the Empire’s main force clashed.

Auror and Auror collided, turning the ground upside down and mana fragments flying in all directions.

The demonic beasts and ordinary imperial soldiers who intervened there sprayed blood fountains, staining the battlefield red.

‘Okay. As expected, I’m being pushed back.’

Even though there were two masters here, it was only the beginning.

It was noticeable that the two of them were having a hard time blocking even one Hansley ball.

Even if you exclude Lord Hansley, they had five top-level experts.

With the support of the wall behind them, they were swinging their temporary aurors mercilessly, so the armor users on this side were pushed out.

“Cluck cluck. That’s all you idiots. Barrier activated! Field of Darkness!”

Keriaphon held out his dried old tree staff towards the battlefield and chanted a spell.

Phew!

Black fog rose from the floor and instantly covered the battlefield.

“It’s a trap!”

“Don’t worry, break through! “The enemy’s goal is to hold us off our feet!”

As their sight and senses were suddenly blocked, many knights panicked, but as they were made up of skilled men, they quickly came to their senses.

Of course, that didn’t change the fact that we had fallen into a trap.

Cheezy.

“damn! “The fog is eating away at my mana!”

The black fog stuck to the swords and armor of the Wall Knights and burned their mana.

Then the ground beneath them shook and a hand reached out to grab their ankles.

“this. There are undead hiding in the ground! “Everyone be careful!”

Seokyeong. Kwazijic!

They were basic undead such as skeletons and zombies, but they were enough to hold the knights back.

As my vision and senses darkened, my mana was being drained, and the undead were swarming under my feet…

“Kkkkkk. Did you think we didn’t prepare anything? Just sleep there quietly! “The magic unit attack begins!”

“Dark Flare!”

“Shadow Burn!”

“Banum Slasher!”

Various dark and toxic magic flew through the black fog towards the barrier commandos.

In a situation where my hands and feet were already dizzy, magic attacks continued, and people began to get injured one by one.

And finally, the time limit of ten minutes passed.

Gooooooooo!

A fierce vortex of mana arose from the three magic circles and gathered into the air.

“Hahaha! It’s over! Glory to your majesty and your empire!”

Keriaphon felt the huge flow of mana behind his back, raised both hands to the sky and laughed like crazy.

Suck!

‘…huh?’

Keriapon, whose neck felt sore, tried to turn his head with a puzzled expression.

But strangely enough, the ground was coming closer to my eyes.

“What is this crazy old man?”

How many times did the earth and sky turn upside down?

The last thing Keriaphon saw was an army of steel weapons beginning to cover the sky.

* * *

Whirr!

Raoul swung his sword in the air with intent.

I felt something invisible snapping.

The lich-making spell was broken.

‘what? ‘He was really a high-ranking wizard?’

As soon as I crossed the passage, I felt an unpleasant black magic energy, so I swung my sword reflexively, but it seemed like I had caught a large fish.

Raoul chuckled.

In any case, it was not a situation to rest one’s hands.

He summoned an army of weapons and swung the Auror Blade to cut down enemies around the magic circle.

“Kane Jake! Take the lead and clear the way! The goal is the entrance to the Wall Fortress!”

“Yes Master! Everyone, First Knights, follow me!”

“Wow!”

Three transmission magic circles opened by imperial wizards.

What appeared there was none other than Raoul and his companions.

There are a total of 150 people.

Later, Baron Carlo, the leader of the Silver Bear Knights, joined Raoul’s camp along with the Count’s knights, increasing their number.

‘This is so. Should I say the timing is good?’

Raoul, who quickly cleared the area around the magic circle with his army of weapons, looked at the battlefield and smiled strangely.

“The Wall is really under attack! Besides, is that the Dark Gate?”

Lawrence, who crossed the aisle for the last time, looked around with a stern expression.

“Brother, please lead the way!”

“Okay, hurry up and follow me.”

Lawrence led the rest of the group and followed behind Kane and Jake.

‘then!’

Woowooung Sugak!

Raoul destroyed the transmission magic circle with his flaming golden Aura Blade.

This was because they were concerned that the imperial army might change the coordinates and use it again.

“Raoul is finished!”

Ravel went around the remains of the magic circle that Raoul had cut and collected all the large mana stones that made up the magic circle.

“no! Protect the magic circle!”

“We have to stop them from going back to the Wall!”

“Ha, but how do you get through that?”

Belatedly, the main imperial army and the invaders spread around came toward the magic circle, but they were unable to dare to approach the army of weapons flying at incredible speeds.

Because the superhumans were fighting with the special forces of the wall, a gap in their power was created.

“Now then, let’s join us.”

“okay.”

Raoul, carrying Ravel on his shoulder, spread his fantasy wings behind his back.

Kane and Jake had already advanced to the vicinity of the Wall Commandos who were clashing in the middle of the battlefield.

Because there was still a thick black fog, the personnel inside seemed unable to understand the abnormality that had occurred here.

bang! Absolutely!

“Wipe them all out!”

The knights of the Empire’s main force, who had been unexpectedly ambushed, tried to hastily reorganize their formation, but the First Knights had already been allowed to enter.

And in an instant, Raoul flew into the battle line, brandishing his golden Auror blade and shouting.

“Activate the aura of brilliance!”

Paaaat!

The wave of divine power that spread from Raoul’s body completely removed the veil of black fog.

Also, when the undead that crawled out of the floor touched the light, they melted, emitting pale smoke.

“oh my god! “Such great divine power!”

Kiera, the saintess of the warrior party, who was running under protection among the group, looked ecstatic at the energy of divine power.

Although he didn’t say anything, the rest of the group also looked very surprised.

‘…Isn’t this an energy greater than that of a saint?’

‘Cornelius, you crazy bastard. ‘Did you accuse someone who wields such holy power as a non-believer?’

Now I clearly understand what the bishops showed in the First Territory.

In particular, Asher, the youngest member of the group and the so-called warrior, was shocked.

‘This power is definitely His power! Oh, how foolish I was.’

What he believed was a special power given only to him was nothing more than an illusion.

In any case, the aura of brilliance that Raoul displayed had a tremendous impact on the battlefield.

‘It’s a different level now that you’ve moved up to a higher level!’

Raoul looked at the battlefield with a proud expression.

As you reach master level, all skill proficiency restrictions are lifted from intermediate to advanced.

Of course, the first ones to reach higher levels were Telekinesis (S) and Infinite Sword (S+), followed closely by Aura of Radiance (A+).

As it becomes an advanced level, the basic range buff power increases.

And special effects were added.

Spheres of pure white light the size of a watermelon were created throughout the area where the aura of brilliance was spread.

It was a lump of divine power called a ‘bead of brilliance’, and what was its effect?

Shuuuk! Boom boom!

Dozens of small sacred arrows flew towards the surrounding enemies.

Although its power was only at the level of Circle 2, it seemed to cause quite a shock since the targets were those who wielded demonic energy.

“We will break through like this!”

“Yes Master!”

With Raoul taking the lead and Kane and Jake supporting the back, they advanced, wiping out the Imperial Knights as if it were a no-man’s land.

“damn! “Go away for now!”

“Retreat to base! “Don’t fight back too hard!”

The imperial masters, who belatedly realized the situation, pushed the knights back.

Lord Hansley did not follow them but joined Raoul and his party.

“How can you? Ah, Sir Lawrence…!”

He seemed to be heartbroken by the unexpected reinforcements.

But this place is still in the middle of enemy territory.

The imperial knights retreated, but the number of demonic beasts surrounding them was increasing.

“First, retreat to the wall. Take care of the wounded and retreat slowly!”

That’s how Raoul and his group safely joined the wall.

But the crisis was still not over.

Floating. Floating.

The Gate of Darkness began pouring out soldiers from the Demon World instead of Demon Beasts.
