Chapter 164: Desperate Measures

I quickly looked up at the tower.

Sharn lay face down on the barista's table. Blood poured from the arrow in her throat.

She's dead!

A soldier's arrow pierced her throat in front of the tower door.

One of the party members, who was frantically swinging his sword, noticed Sharn's corpse.

Phew!

Nadine is scared. [All attributes are reduced by 30%.]

A weak groan escaped the man's mouth.

I gritted my teeth and shouted, Clean yourself up! Someone else will take the ballista!

The other members also turned their attention to Sharn.

However, their reaction was different from my orders.

Ronnie panicked. 50% down on all attributes.

[Zakail () is scary]

Those idiots

I didn't have enough experience.

A sudden wave of fear hit the three of them like wildfire. Verquist's expression became pale.

It's not working.

The Black Dragon was still shaking but kept moving.

It seems that the bolt that pierced his side was not a fatal injury. I pointed his sword vertically and yelled,

You have to rack up the damage before he heals. Prepare for an attack.

What about baristas?

Let's leave it at that.

One person was killed, but if he had remained calm, he might have been able to fire a second shot.

But my voice didn't reach her. A rapid decline in her performance broke through her defenses.

Ronnie is back in the embrace of the goddess! [His determination will be remembered forever.]

Death reports continued. 4,444 4,444 soldiers broke through the defenses of the breached Third Army.

Nadine has returned to the goddess' embrace! [Her determination will be remembered forever.]

[Zakail] returns to the goddess's embrace! His determination]

My blade is stuck in the black dragon's right leg.

I pulled the dagger from my belt and walked to the dragon's side. I checked where the bolt hit. I could see the vital point between the torn scales and the leather. I thrust my dagger into him without hesitation.

Gorrulururu

A sound that sounded like it was coming from the dragon's throat was heard.

[Group 3 is wiped out!]

The right side of the city wall is completely captured.

Asher() is in critical condition. [His life is in danger!]

This is done!

Thud! Pooh! Pooh!

I continued to drive the dagger into the dragon's wound.

The dragon twitched with each blow, but there was no noticeable reaction. Just as Verquist and Nerissa were about to launch their next attack,

CRAAAAAA!

The dragon roared and wriggled his body.

I immediately backed away. The long sword stuck in his front leg was thrown away and slid to the ground. I picked it up with my feet and held it in my right hand.

Phew! Asher!

Asher is back in the embrace of the Goddess! [His determination will be remembered forever.]

The second group,

caused the first accident.

I don't have time for that!

Eroka, prepare for the magic!

Oh, I don't have time!

I looked back.

The main base was surrounded by dozens of shadows. Jenna brandished her dagger, and Eloka waved a white flame like a torch to drive away the shadows.

Both of you, please come back. I am here.

Okay.

Stay healthy.

The two hurried back to the main camp.

I raised my sword. The surface of the blade had a faint golden spiderweb pattern.

Guru, Guru, Guru

Foam mixed with saliva dripping from the black dragon's mouth.

Jenna's arrow covered his body, and the ballista's bolt lodged in his side. His wings were torn off, and his whole body was covered with large wounds oozing blood. The blood was tinged with purple. It was becoming more poisonous.

But it wasn't dead.

The creature looked at me with its remaining eye and blinked.

Claa!

Black Dragon waved his right hand.

The black dragon waved his right hand.

I twisted my upper body to avoid him.

Aim for his heart.

Part where the ballista bolt was stuck, part where the scales came off.

If you push the sword deep enough, my analysis says it will reach his heart. Even if it wasn't, it didn't matter. Important organs are concentrated in this area. This can cause fatal injuries.

Party 1, when given the signal, will concentrate our attack there. Understood?

Okay. We're almost done here!

I saw the altar.

It was unstable, but the last line of defense was successfully defended. Edith led the way, followed by Roderick and Aaron. Behind him was the shooter, Dylan. The four formed a defensive position and blocked the enemy's advance.

Edith, wait a little longer!

We have prepared for an attack.

At that moment, a blade flew out of Dylan's chest as he pointed his bow at the edge of the wall.

Huh?

Dylan's body falls under the wall.

Many soldiers were waiting below.

Duran has returned to the embrace of the Goddess! [His determination will be remembered forever.]

There was no time to assess the situation.

He immediately raised his sword and attacked. My goal was the dragon's heart. I pushed the handle with all my might, avoiding the claws and wings.

[The altar has been reclaimed!]

[The goddess's blessing has been revoked!]

Kang!

[This monster is physically disabled!]

A broken sword blade is in the air. I flew to

I threw away the sword and left only the hilt. The black dragon crouched down and shot the scales. A broken shield lay at his feet. I grabbed it and quickly pulled it away.

Thud! Pooh! Pooh!

I blocked the scales with the remaining half of my shield and retreated to my base. Dozens of shadows hid their presence.

I spat out bloody saliva and asked, "What happened?"

It looks like soldiers have appeared behind the altar, Nerissa said.

I looked at the wall on the left. Nearly a hundred soldiers crowded around the altar. The white light that surrounded them returned to its original purple hue. The second group behind them stood motionless on the ladder, and the soldiers worked their way up to the top.

The altar has been recaptured.

Verquist raised his sword.

The white light surrounding the sword disappeared.

Mmm

Edith swallowed a groan.

Instead of charging the second group, the soldiers surrounded the altar and pointed their weapons at it. Suddenly, the balance of power shifted.

We have to break through, right?

Edith said it bitterly.

Our bodies were already covered in blood.

Is that possible?

[Human Soldier Lv.18]×115

[Human Knight Lv.20]×32

There were about 150 soldiers at the altar. And the number has increased.

Meanwhile, their group suffers casualties, with Asher and Dylan dying. None of the surviving members were in the best of shape.

It looks like it's on the 5th floor.

Jenna smiled shyly.

I took a deep breath.

There's no way to get through it unscathed.

What should I do? Take back the altar.

Forget it.

I held out my hand to Verquist.

He grimaced. what?

Give me your sword.

Velquist gave me a long sword.

I said, It's not finished yet.
