‘It would be nice if Kidd and Luger came to help me-’
They should’ve sensed that something was wrong. If even one of them came, against 30 people plus Igor, It wouldn’t be completely hopeless.
‘It’s not much different from Midnight Circus, even the average level of Czar, so if one of them comes and takes care of Igor, then I would be able to clean up the rest.’
He was confident in facing users around levels 150 to 160 because Leeha had already encountered users of the same level during the war.
However, no one came to Leeha. In the end, Leeha had to make a choice.
“Mana Freeze!”
He had to fight.
He had no other choice but to fight, waiting for either one to come. If he knew what Kidd and Luger were thinking, Leeha would have immediately used chain teleport right away.
Baaaaang—–!
Igor, who fell back, wasn’t important right now. The first thing he had to deal with was the Czar guild members. One shot was planted into the center of the encirclement that they had made.
“His shot failed! Catch him! Catch him now!”
“Group 1, move forward!”
“Group 2!”
“Weapon Break! ……Huh? S-Skills- skills are sealed! Skills are sealed!”
“What? Cruel Bash! ……I used it! I did not make a mistak- Keok!”
Ziiing
Mana wrapped around his sword. Leeha turned the muzzle towards the light and fired. The skills of users near the center of the encirclement were sealed. However, users on the outskirts could still use their skills. Then it was clear who the first targets would be.
The Black Bass got loaded and fired. Reloaded and fired again. Remove the magazine, take out a new one, reload, and then fire.
“Tip!”
“Kuok!”
“Why are my skill-”
The absence of any notification window puts them into a state of temporary confusion.
They had to use capture skills, but which skills worked and which ones didn’t? Their comrade’s skills worked, but theirs didn’t?
Leeha did not miss the opportunity that came from the Czar guild’s confusion.
“His attack power is too high, shield, shield!- Keohok!”
The last time he had to deal with Czar guild was when the Black Bass was in ‘musket’ form.
Igor knew what kind of weapon Leeha was currently using and how destructive it was, but not all of Czar’s personnel knew that.
“Only use normal attacks! Don’t try to rely on skills!”
The warriors quickly adapted to the situation and moved again, but Leeha’s movements were difficult. When the distance was reduced and using the Black Bass became difficult, the pistols appeared. The Hummingbird and needle gun dug into the joints of the Czar users.
Bang-! Bang-! Baaaaaang一!
[The northern trolls are on alert.]
[Alert: 70%]
‘It was just as Chiyou told me. The moment I can attack is short. He can kill me in one shot.’
Igor moved from left to right endlessly as he watched his allies being sacrificed. It was a move to make sure that he could not be targeted, and it meant that even the third-ranked giant acknowledged Leeha’s attack power and kept it in check.
The giant berserker’s eyes were focused on Leeha.
When Leeha fired another shot at a Czar user, the giant’s voice broke out.
“It’s time for him to change magazines, everyone rush in!!! Fury!”
Five shots.
He was able to figure out the number of shots in Leeha’s magazine with just one look. When Czar and Igor, who came to their senses, started to rush in, there was only one thing Leeha could do.
“Damn it, soul link!!!”
“Oh, what is this-”
Hwaaaaa一…….
A red light radiated explosively.
[The northern trolls have entered an emergency situation.]
[Alert: 90%]
Guoooohhhh——!
“Field Boss?”
“Kill them all, Kuma-ya!!”
It was enough to cause them to pause for a moment. And it was enough for him to change magazines even with his eyes closed. When he inserted the magazine and pulled the bolt, the feeling of the heavy bullet being loaded into the rifle was transmitted to his fingertips. There was no need to check. Leeha pulled the trigger at Igor. Igor directly looked into Leeha’s muzzle.
Baaaaaang—-!
At the end of the long gunshot, a harsh bursting sound was heard. Kaaaang. At the same time, sparks flew in front of Igor’s eyes.
Raising a sawblade-like sword, he blocked Leeha’s bullet.
It was an unbelievable reaction time, but it had a price. A huge crack appeared in the sword, which meant it had now become useless.
“Indeed…… Your attack power is high. This sword- Kyahahaha, now you will have to pay the price!”
[Alert: 100%]
“Haa, haa. Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would have just used chain teleport-”
Eventually, the alarm reached 100%. Would things have been different if he had gone with Kidd or Luger from the start? They would have been caught anyway. Kidd, who was over level 180 would have done great against Czar’s personnel goons, but he would eventually hit his limit.
Igor confirmed Leeha’s location–
Clap, clap, clap.
It was then that applause was heard.
A third party broke into the place where Kuma and Czar were fiercely fighting, 1.5km away from the northern troll village.
[The king of the northern trolls, Crolang, has appeared.]
[All trolls in the northern troll village become 15% stronger.]
At the same time, a notification window popped up in front of Leeha. Was the third party Crolang? He thought, but it couldn’t be.
“The behemoth has finally appeared.”
Czar’s attention was now focused on Krolang.
In the meantime, grrrrrrrr…. Kuma also looked toward the third party and growled as he stepped back.
Even Igor jumped back.
He was quite far away from everyone because he appeared at the place where the claymore exploded, but his light steps were enough to intimidate anyone.
Those who didn’t actively participate in the national war were still not aware of why Fibiel and Minis had suddenly signed a peace treaty. Of course, the same goes for Igor and Czar.
However, Leeha, who was well aware of the situation, could only think of one name the moment he saw him.
“You…… is it possible……?”
It was a person with black energy emanating from his back. At least in terms of appearance, he was no different from a human, but Leeha could tell who he was.
He wore a neat black suit, carried a cane with a silver handle, and had a neat blue beard under his nose. The blue-colored beard was pretty impressive.
“I thought you were Crolang’s guests, but it doesn’t look like it.”
He walked slowly and lightly, it wasn’t threatening at all, but Igor stepped back.
“H-h-hit him. He’s dangerous!”
“What did you say, Igor?”
“Strike him! We need to kill him! Blood transformation to a werewolf! Now!”
Igor used his skill while stuttering. As the werewolf’s blood ran through his body, hair began to grow from his thighs.
Czar thought that he would attack.
“Eliminate that fellow. Quick.”
Quick!
Twelve of the 30 people were killed by Leeha.
The remaining 18 rushed at the suspicious man. Therefore, Czar did not see. That Igor, who transformed into a werewolf, turned around and quickly ran away.
“Oh dear. He’s pretty muscular, but he isn’t my type.”
Even though he only lifted his cane, Leeha could tell. He shouldn’t attack. There was only one thing he could do.
Leeha immediately used his Chain Teleport.
***
“What the hell happened-”
“Bluebeard Le! Count Le is here! As for whispers-”
Leeha frantically spoke to Kidd and Luger.
-Luger, use chain teleport right now! Count Le has appeared, we have to kill Crolang before Le gets here!
There’s no time to check if the problem with the communication jamming was resolved. Leeha immediately whispered to Luger. Without answering, Luger cast chain teleport and went to Leeha and Kidd.
“W-wait. Bluebeard? You mean Bluebeard is up there?”
“That’s right! We don’t have time to talk about him, hurry up! If we don’t kill Crolang quickly and run away, the quest will fail! Do you understand what I’m saying, Luger?”
Leeha’s hand trembled as he loaded the Black Bass.
It was very brief, but he could tell. It was the same way he felt the first time he saw Luger in Castle Dale, when his muzzle was pointed at him.
The moment he pulled the trigger, Leeha felt he knew what would happen to him!
‘Death.’
He didn’t feel that way when he saw the Gold Dragon.
Of course, it may have been because the distance was far away at that time. However, one of the Fragments of the Demon King, Bluebeard, who appeared right in front of him, was a different level of pressure.
“Let’s go.”
Luger did not ask Leeha. He had no idea what was going on up there. The only important thing was that Bluebeard was there.
And Luger had a strong feeling that he would come to this place after quickly sorting out the situation up there.
It was a feeling that only those who had met and experienced Bluebeard could understand.
“I don’t know what the hell is going on.”
When Leeha and Luger ran out, revealing their bodies, Kidd didn’t know what to do.
“Let’s get closer! If Kidd and I clear up the surrounding trolls, Luger can focus on Crolang, focus only on killing Crolang as fast as possible, and then we leave immediately!”
Kuma could not be included in the long-distance teleport.
With the soul link skill released and Kuma disappearing, the three of them charged toward a thousand northern trolls and their king.
In the end, after peeking, observing, and bickering, the three people took the lead in clearing the quest in the most primitive and simple way.
“Do you fight with your mouth? [Panzer Shrek]!”
Bang——-!
Luger’s gun fired first. A northern troll was shattered and turned into million pieces of meat.
“Grrrrrrr一……. Human meat is the count’s favorite. Tear them to pieces.”
Yo! —!”
Aruhi一! Aruru一!
With an ear-piercing scream, the northern trolls also started running.
“[Bullet Storm].”
It was Kidd’s rampage that followed Luger’s shot. The most useful skill to deal with multiple enemies at once. The movement of Kidd’s red coat stood out even more against the blue troll’s movement to surround the three musketeers.
“The fastest way- This way!”
Click, baaaaaaaaang——-!
Leeha pulled his trigger as he lagged behind. A northern troll raised a shield to stop Kidd from shooting his barrage of bullets, only to get shot by Leeha.
Turururuk.”
The bullet pierced the northern troll’s calf, and the monster’s scream rang out. Luger aimed his gun at that troll.
“Finish them properly, [Bullseye].”
And then Baaaaaang……! In front of Luger’s attack, it didn’t matter whether the trolls were holding a shield or not. After all, the only option was for them to die.
Kidd’s revolver mainly aimed at the back of the giant trolls’ hands, shoulders, necks, and elbows, and Leeha’s Black Bass finished them off with a howl.
Leeha, Luger, and Kidd worked together in breaking through the encirclement of the northern trolls and advanced through.
If one were looking from the sky, it would look like a thick blue layer was blocking the gap between Crolang and the Three Musketeers. Of course, that gap was made out of northern trolls.
Which were now 15% stronger.
