Chapter 161: Final Confrontation

Claws struck left and right.

I raised my sword and moved my left foot to the side. The blade hits the claw and sparks fly.

Kaga!

An eerie sound echoed from the sword's hilt. It was impossible to predict when the sword's durability would run out.

"Dylan, concentrate on the crossbowmen!"

At the top of the castle wall, Edith was in command of the battle.

The archer followed Edith's orders and aimed at the crossbowman. Edith jumped up and slit the crossbowman's throat.

``Wait a little longer! ``We'll break through right away!'' Edith yelled, looking down at us.

She realized that if the battle dragged on, it would be even more difficult for us. The formation prioritized speed over stability. Lined up, Aaron and Roderick's spears whipped through the soldiers like windmills.

What would happen if the second party reached this location?

Phew!

Eroka spoke as he set fire to the enemy.

Two flaming shadows fell.

It's definitely different from before. concentration!

I gripped my sword tightly.

Members of the first party standing in the circle held their positions. A dozen shadows loomed around her. I cut through the shadows with my sword and said,

Deal with all the shadows until the second group reaches the altar. Understood?

Requires magic.

Yes, it's a level 3 spell.

Understood. Please give me some casting time!

Jenna drew her dagger and stood behind Eloka.

There was a triangle around Eloka. It pierced the shadow where long swords, short swords, and daggers gathered.

Claa!

Noisy bastard!

The black dragon opened his mouth wide and tried to bite me.

I turned his shoulder to avoid him and elbowed him in the eye.

[Physical attacks have no effect on this monster!]

My elbow feels like it's being smashed into concrete.

I grimaced. I've seen this message many times. But there wasn't much time left. I looked at the wall behind me.

The second participant was also not idle.

Edith and Roderick were cleaning up the soldiers on the front line.

The second group crossed the fortress wall. Behind them were piles of dead soldiers. The distance to the altar was less than 10 meters.

[Light it!]

The swirling flames blew away the shadows.

Led by Velquist and Nerissas, the shadows gathered in one place.

[Explosion!]

Kwakwa boom!

The flames exploded at the same time. The sand flew high into the air, and the intense heat reached us.

[Sublimation!]

Guzzle!

A pillar of fire erupted from the center of the explosion.

The three members of the first group quickly retreated with Eroka. More than 20 shadows were swirling around. She destroyed them all at once.

Ha!

Eroca took her breath away.

Her face was pale.

Sister, drink this!

Jenna dug into Eloka's pouch and handed her a potion of mana.

Eroka nodded and drank her potion.

Cleanup completed.

No shadow appears for a while.

This guy was the only enemy left. When I hit its tail with the sword, it arched like a whip.

Then,

Hmm!

The throat of the soldier blocking the altar was cut, and blood gushed out.

Edith pointed her bloody dagger at him. This person was the last one.

Han, what should we do now?

Lay your hands on the altar!

Got it!

Edith placed her hand on the statue.

The red light surrounding the altar began to turn white.

[The latter occupied the altar.]

The black dragon's tail and claws were mowed down.

The shoulder armor was torn, and blood flowed out. I held my breath and stepped back. Verquist also followed him.

I'm currently participating in a boss battle!

It's not your decision; I'll force this on you even if you don't want to.

I laughed.

A hologram window appeared in my field of vision, along with a sound effect.

[The altar effect has been applied.]

[Master, the Goddess' protection has appeared!]

Press the crystal! [Give the hero holy power!]

Wings spread on the black dragon's back.

Sharp spines grow at the tips of its wings. The black dragon raised its tail and wings at the same time.

Verquist swung his sword.

At this moment, the screen became invisible.

[Thing!]

[It worked!]

[The hero's weapon is imbued with holy power!]

Shark!

The wing membrane was torn. Red blood splattered on the floor.

The black dragon staggered back.

Huh?

Verquist frowned.

The sword Verquist held in his right hand glowed white. My sword was the same. The same light remained on Jenna's dagger, Eloka's quiver, and Nerissa's rapier.

I pointed my sword at the black dragon.

It's time to get rid of this bastard.

It seems so.

Verquist laughed.
