I Returned, But My Power is the Same

The battle in Halla Ecological Forest can be regarded as the second act of the operation to retake Jeju Island.

It is not only that the scale of the battle has increased from small and company units to battalions, and even to two battalions.

The monster's species changes.

“The undead have strong, no, tough vitality! As long as you don't cut your head off or burn yourself with a sword, you'll keep getting up and attacking! Keep this in mind!”

"Yes!"

Undead.

Starting with the skeleton, the very undead, such as zombies, ghouls, and Durahans, appear.

“Keep moving forward!”

"Yes!"

There is nothing special about being undead.

After all, they are nothing more than monsters.

However, as General Gwan-Young Jeon said, it has a very strong vitality, so you need to pay more attention to battle.

“The number will be staggering! Keep your minds up!”

"Yes!"

The problem is the number.

Considering the nature of the undead, even if they will come back to life again, it comes rushing in like a tide.

"I'll keep fighting for hours, this one."

“A few hours is fine. You won't be able to move until sunset."

“What do these people know? Consider the characteristics of the undead. It's worse at night."

The crew members move and chat for a while.

That's all right.

Today, or no, for the next several days, you can see that you will continue to die.

“But the undead needs a magician to revive and move, right?”

"Yeah. Where's the drinker?"

“Are you here?”

predicative.

Also known as the Necromancer, he probably won't be here.

Hallasan, the final destination of this operation, is quietly hiding there.

In the name of the Black King.

It's a guess, but he's the only one who can play the role of a magician.

speak the language freely.

write magic.

Isn't it obvious

Above all, it seems that I had heard at first glance before the return.

It is said that the Black King (黑王) was closely related to the undead.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have found out somehow then.

I looked forward with regret behind me.

The troops had already entered the Halla Ecological Forest.

The scenery we saw was not the forest scenery we usually think of.

Trees that remain bare but bare branches.

withered grass.

cracked ground.

It was more appropriate for the word "desolation" than the word "forest".

Truly the hell of the undead.

The sky is also black with no light because of the dark clouds.

The move was not long.

Soon, monsters with bizarre shapes poured out from the front and from all directions.

“Karrrrrr!”

“Karrrrr!”

“Karrrrrrrrrrrr!”

it was a ghoul

At an estimate, almost thousands of them ran towards the crew with their arms outstretched.

The pace was terribly fast.

“All troops, ready to fire!”

The crew stood calmly and raised their guns.

Even other undead ghouls can be suppressed enough with firearms.

If you focus on the head.

“Shoot!”

When the commanders' signal fell, hundreds or thousands of bullets began to be fired at the ghouls.

Of course, most of them were magic bullets covered with mana.

I also pulled the trigger incessantly.It felt like playing a game as the ghouls fell down every time the bang bang bang sounded.

But since it's a game, me and our lives are at stake.

Without a single smile, he focused only on shooting.

[Matan]

[Matan]

[Matan]

[Sniper skill is being activated.]

No matter how fast the ghoul is, it cannot be as fast as the Kinbra or Kurak caught at Jeju Airport.

Originally, the latter was an air monster.

I took their breath away with ease. while smashing your head.

[Sniper skill proficiency increases significantly!]

Lately, I haven't been able to raise my sniper skills by just using a knife, but I think I'll be able to pull out all those mules today.

I continued to pull the trigger.

Manaya was full.

And no matter how much magic bullets are used, they do not consume mana as much as sword swords.

Tang Tang!

Tang Tang!

The battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire.

It's deafening to the ears.

Instead, the bodies piled up.

It is so layered that four or five can be stacked in one place.

“All troops in a swordsmanship formation!”

"Yes!"

It would be nice to just shoot until the end, but soon we ran into a limit.

Because the skeletons, and Durahhan appeared.

“The lieutenants completely fall into the back line and focus on cover, and the captains and above move forward!”

The ranks have also changed.

Up until now, even if they were in the front or the back, they fought together, but now they are completely separated.

Lieutenants were only in auxiliary roles.

Can not help it.

“The skeleton is marked by the lieutenants!”

Skeletons can catch even lieutenants, but Durahans can't do that.

Giant Kellio is also in front of Durahan, folding one step forward, so what more needs to be said?

However, some were exceptions.

“Lieutenant Young, follow me too!”

"Yes!"

People like Lieutenant Young So-jin came in ahead.

The reason is simple.

Because skills support it.

‘Do Jin-ah, fighting!’

'Yep! Let the operation officer fight too!’

'Huh!'

He made eye contact with Lieutenant Young So-jin for a moment and raised his sword high.

Flickering things were rushing towards the crew.

Shiny armor and long hanging hair.

Sausage Furun Greatsword.

Up to that point, he was an imperfect knight, but only his neck was left without a head.

And the head was held in the palm of my hand.

From the looks of it, the energy and momentum of the stone golem was far away.

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A Durahhan soon stood in front of me. His red eyes are staring at me as if they are eating me.

My head was just attached to my side and I was holding it like a pot of wine.

there's no choice but to

Because the head is his lifeline.

“Kaaaaah!”

He ran straight ahead and swung his sword at me.

fast.

and sophisticated

I've fought quite a few monsters that use swords, but this is the first time I've seen a monster that uses a sword like this.

Besides.

Kwajik!

Mana is rising over the sword.

The nature of the mana I used was a little different, but the sword was the sword anyway.

If I get this wrong, I end up carrying my head on my hand like that guy.

I blocked his attack as carefully as possible.

[The muscle pumping skill is being activated.]

[Mana enhancement skill is being activated.]

[The sword fighting skill is being activated.]

[The ruthless skill is being activated.]

Skills related to defense and movement are also important, but first focused on attack.

Attack is often the best defense.

[The defense neutralization skill is being activated.]

In particular, the defense neutralization skill worked well.

Durahan is really difficult to defeat in that only attacks with mana work, and there are no bones or internal organs, so his defense neutralization skill forcibly lowered his strength.

[Decreases the opponent's defense-related stats and abilities by 25%.]

just like this

Thanks to that, the attack went much better.

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

He was also attacking me.

A sword the size of a house was beating me over and over again.

But I didn't hit a single one.

It wasn't evaded or thrown out.

It was just counterattacking and it went away.

Scratch!

The greatest weakness of the undead is the head.

Whether their arms are cut off or their torso is smashed, they will somehow stand up, but if their heads are blown away, it's the end.

Durahan is especially so.

If you shove a sword into your head, even a little, you will immediately become incapable of combat.

Or you can burn it out altogether.

Let's try it once Kim has spoken.

I raised my sword a lot.

“Kah, kaaak!”

what.

I tried it just in case, but this works.

“Kaah, Kaak!”

It vanishes like smoke with a terrifying scream.

Because my sword has covered his body.

During this operation, I thought that only things related to guns and swords, or physical abilities, were raised.

Unknowingly and unknowingly, mana was in a state of increasing enormously.

So, it must have become possible to burn it like it was just now.

Maybe this time the sword will be open... … He shook his head and got out of the hustle and bustle.

Geomgang is a concept of ascendancy in terms of martial arts.

It's not something that can be unlocked just by a little bit of mana increase.

Scratch!

The beginning was half done.

It was good from the beginning, and then it went on to the next.

the problem is.

“There is really no end.”

“What are so many?”

That there is still a mountain to catch.

But it was rather enjoyable.

Wouldn't it bring you that much experience and proficiency just by catching it?

You can also create skills like ruthlessness or defense neutralization.

The battle went on like that.

* * *

When the sun rose in the middle of the sky and the sun began to set, I was finally able to put down the sword.

“Heh heh, heh heh.”

It was only today that I realized the true meaning of the saying that the whole body is Cheongeunmangeun.

It's about to throw a tantrum.

How can there be so many?

He shook his head as he looked at the foggy smoke all around him.

All that smoke is the remains of the Durahans.

Is it only Durahhans?

In addition to the skeleton, the zombies that popped out.

My mind is confused because I can't focus on the vomit.

Still, the end result was good.[Experience of all stats is skyrocketing!]

[All skill proficiency is skyrocketing!]

Experience and proficiency are still rising.

Even if the battle is over, if it rises, how much will it be?

The corners of your lips curl up.

Of course, I am happy that the battle was successfully fought.

It's not over yet.

“There were a lot of hardships. I will wait for a while and then move on again.”

"Yes!"

Waiting is a break

The crew sat on their buttocks.

Because of the ghouls' corpses and Durahan's smoke, it was an uncomfortable place to stand rather than sit down, but who would argue about such a thing in a place like this?

I already had my ass attached and the potion shoved into my throat.

write it

I don't know why people put things that are good for the body so much.

I'll have to ask the potion maker how they taste it later.

In the midst of vain thoughts, my son-in-law suddenly began to darken.

When I looked up, there were dark clouds in the sky.

He continued to be dark.

Dark clouds were still present.

But the amount was much larger.

An eerie aura that was somehow unfamiliar for a simple climate change also invaded my whole body.

I don't feel good.

The commanders immediately shouted.

“Everyone, stand up!”

The crew members who were sitting and resting, and being vigilant around them, drew their swords at the same time.

As if everyone had the same feeling, there was a slightly nervous expression on their face.

Whoops-!

Then the sky shook violently with a roar.

The dark clouds were getting more and more intense, and it was hard to tell if it was daytime or nighttime.

And the next moment.

The guys showed up again.

“Keep the line intact and subdue it!”

"Yes!"

Skeleton, Ghoul, Zombie, Durahhan.

First of all, fighting is a bit strange.

Since there are so many gates, it's not unusual for them to reappear even if they've already been caught, but those dark clouds keep getting caught.

As well as the gloomy feeling.

Scratch!

The strange thing was that I decided to reconsider later and focused on the task at hand.

The Durahans were already in front of them.

And when the sword hits.

I finally found out

“They are getting a buff! Everyone be careful!”

"Yes!"

The dark clouds were increasing their fighting power.

The guys who used to focus only on blocking me instead of attacking me now quickly counterattacked.

It's not easy either.

The battle continued, realizing anew why even two majors were deployed here.

However.

“They… … !”

"Damn it! They even come out!”

The buff wasn't over.

Another knight appeared behind the Durahans.

Unlike the Durahans, a complete head.

Huge height and physique reminiscent of an eight-foot ghost.

Shouts all over the place.

“It’s a Death Knight!”

Death Knight.

If Durahan is just a knight, Death Knight is a great knight.

Perhaps this moment is the most difficult moment in the battle that will last for several days.

However.

It was worth doing.
