Chapter 612: Is it Bichor or is it Bichon?
The number of players that fought for the Argaon Continent had reached almost seven million. They also had around fourteen million NPCs. However, they were still no match for Luvien Empire’s power. Luvien Empire was so strong to the point that the players said that this was the beginning of Luvien Empire’s continental unification.
And right now…
[Finally, the Luvien Empire’s Army that is marching through the Stars’ Path has appeared!!!]
[Ah, I feel like my breath is stuck. The majesty that their millions of soldiers are exuding is just too much!]
[It’s like we’re watching a medieval movie. Look, the soldiers\' breath has turned white as they escaped through the gaps of their helmets under the cover of the white snow.]
[Ellie is currently guarding Lumatri Fortress, the fortress located at the rearmost area and is the one nearest to the entrance to Eivelis Empire.]
[Lumatri Fortress is a very strategic area. To enter Eivelis Empire, one has to pass through Lumatri Fortress.]
[The Eivelis Imperial Army, together with the support troops sent by the other empires and kingdoms, as well as the guild alliance, are stationed at the other three fortresses, in the entrance to the Stars’ Path and the shores of the Dragon King’s Sea. The Eivelis Imperial Army and the guild alliance are waiting for the enemy’s arrival with bated breaths.]
[Powerful and strong men are stationed in each and every fortress, including the commander of the Eivelis Imperial Army and the Phoenix Knight Order’s knight commander.]
[How long was Argaon Continent able to defend their continent before their defenses were pierced through?]
[Half a day. The enemy, the Luvien Empire, fired cannonballs from their ships and used siege weapons to sweep away their forces.]
It was only natural for the commentators to mention the Argaon Continent in this situation. They wanted to know if Eivelis Empire would be able to outlast them, or if they would collapse faster. In fact…
[It’s more likely that the Eivelis Empire will collapse faster than Argaon Continent. Each continent has a field that they are the best in. Argaon Continent was a continent that was known to have received the blessings and protections of the ‘God of Shields’. They have so many high-ranking and top-quality tankers, as well as NPC mages that learned defensive magic. However, they were all rendered useless by Luvien Empire’s ridiculously overpowered attacks.]
The commentators\' words were very pessimistic. However, no one could deny the truth of their words either.
Now, at Eivelis Empire’s entrance to the Stars’ Path and the vicinity of the Dragon King’s Sea, enemy soldiers were advancing. Airen, a thirty year old woman wearing red armor and sitting on top of a black horse, stood in front of the entrance to the Stars’ Path. She was considered the sword prodigy of the Eivelis Empire.
“Your Majesty,” Airen mumbled bitterly as she watched the enemies charging toward them at a rapid pace. At the same time, the notifications began to ring in the players’ ears.
[The war against the Luvien Empire has begun!]
[The First Army’s invasion has begun!]
[The First Army has a total of 500,000 soldiers!]
[Protect the Asgan Continent’s entrances and defeat the enemies!]
[After three hours, the Second Army will move to join the First Army!]
That was right. Luvien Empire’s invasion used several waves of armies. They would invade in batches. Of course, this was done to give both the players and NPCs room to breathe and fight and give them hope that they would be able to protect their continent.
However, what would happen if their current enemies remained alive even after three hours had passed? Then, the enemy would be able to exert more momentum and have more power, since they would be joined by the Second Army.
Airen knew, ‘We have too many enemies, Your Majesty.’
The total number of troops that Eivelis Empire had reached only four million. More than 400,000 of them were young soldiers, soldiers that had no experience fighting and had only ever held farming tools and lived a normal life. However, they still came here to protect Eivelis Empire.
Clench—
Airen held her sword tightly and said, “I’m fully aware that we’ll die here today.”
Indeed, Airen believed that she would die here today. But even so, she still did not have any regrets. Ellie was like a mother to her, and Airen would do anything for her.
Airen was someone that had wanted to hold a sword for the longest time. However, she could not do so because she was a woman. When she met Ellie, she got a new lease in life. With her title as the Sword Prodigy, she became the second most influential person in the Asgan Continent when it came to the sword, second only to Sword Emperor Ellie.
The duty that she was entrusted with today was very important. Airen would do anything to fulfill it, even if it meant that she would die.
“For Eivelis Empire.”
“For the empire!!!”
She would dedicate her heart and soul to Eivelis Empire.
“Butterfly~”
Meanwhile, as the army’s tension reached an all-time high, a small child appeared. The small child smiled from underneath the red helmet and looked at the butterfly that was fluttering around.
“…?”
Airen looked at the child. She then did a double take and wondered why such a young child was wearing the red armor that carried the symbol of the Phoenix Knights. However, upon looking closely…
‘The symbol seems to be slightly off…?’
The Phoenix Knight’s symbol should have the sword on the right and the shield on the left. However, the symbol on the girl’s armor had the sword on the left and the shield on the right. Yes, that was because Hyemin’sDaddy, the Beyond the Heavens’ blacksmith, had made a mistake.
“Who are you? No, where are you from?”
The little girl turned to look at Airen at her question. The girl might be wearing a helmet that covered her face, but her beauty could not be hidden by such an item. The girl’s eyes were bright, her lips thick, her nose smooth and straight, and her skin so clear that it overshadowed her blank expression.
Airen was the one that answered her own question in her head, ‘She came from another empire or kingdom.’
It was clear that the girl was hiding her identity. Nonetheless, Airen was very grateful for these people.
Then, the girl opened her mouth and said, “I…”
Airen immediately focused on the girl’s words.
“…am from the Power Infinity Great King God General Magister Dark Breaker Team.”
“…???”
“I am the youngest with the sealed powers, Elizabeth.”
“…Elizabeth?”
Airen looked at the girl for a long time. And for some reason she felt the need to protect her, “Stay, stay behind me. It’s dangerous.”
“Yes.”
Airen felt very sorry for her. She vowed that she must protect this poor and pitiful girl at all cost!
Meanwhile, there was someone that was watching this scene from a distance and thinking, ‘Waaaah, Youngest! What do you mean by your name is Elizabeth, Elizabeth?! If you’re going to trick her then you have to make sure that you trick her properly!!!’
Then, one of the knights asked the boy, “I don’t think I’ve seen you before, what’s your name?”
The boy, thinking that he had deceived the knight properly, proudly said, “I am Conir!!! Conir is in charge of jjapaguri!!! Conir does not make ramyeon!!! Conir is only in charge of the jjapaguri!!! Conir is definitely not Conir!!! Not Conir!”
“…?”
The knight thought, ‘This guy is Sword Saint Conir…?’
Sigh…
Sighs escaped the mouths of the people all over the place.
They felt like their future was just a tad bit too bleak and dark. That was how the war began.
***
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Nearly 200,000 troops began to send magical attacks and arrows in the Asgan Continent’s entrance to the Stars’ Path.
The Luvien Empire’s ordinary soldiers were strong enough to deal with five soldiers from an ordinary empire or kingdom. They had inherited the power of the Battle God and were able to show power that transcended a human’s understanding. Their mages could all cast 5th Tier magic and even their knights were all aura users. Just a mere 5,000 of them could easily wipe out 20,000 of an ordinary kingdom’s troops.
The tens of thousands of magical attacks and arrows started to fall down from the skies.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The mage unit led by Airen hurriedly cast thousands of shields above them to defend themselves. However, Luvien Empire did not want them to have a breather, so their First Army immediately launched another attack.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
This time, the mighty shields that they set up could not withstand the attack and began to crack.
“Ellie’s f*cking bastards! Watch. This is the might of Nerva’s army!”
With those words, the shield, which was already in a miserable state, began to break down. Seeing this, the Eivelis Imperial Army hurriedly raised their square shields above their heads and formed a defensive formation.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The Luvien Imperial Army were confident about their victory again. After all, the enemies were being thoroughly beaten without getting any chance to attack.
“Keuhahahahahahahaha!”
The one that had cussed the Eivelis soldiers as Ellie’s f*cking bastards was none other than Luvien Empire’s Count Loki.
Loki was originally someone from a different empire. He was someone that treated others as if they were flies and was someone that was completely blinded by silver, gold and treasures. He was the trashiest and most shitty noble during the Argaon Continent invasion. Why? Because he came running to Nerva Sephiroth to report the 100,000-strong allied troops that were about to launch a surprise attack. Simply put, Loki was a true and genuine traitor, a bastard.
This very same Loki took something out of his pockets. This was none other than the parchment that contained the power of ‘Nerva Sephiroth’. Nerva Sephiroth had told Loki, ‘Ellie and the Eivelis Empire are our biggest threat. We will bring them the greatest humiliation, something that’s unlike what we did in the Argaon Continent.’
During the battle in Argaon Continent, Nerva Sephiroth only handed out twenty of this kind of parchment. However, in this war, he easily handed out hundreds of them to the armies’ commanders. And right now, one of them was being torn apart.
At that moment, a shocking notification rang in the ears of the Asgan Continent players.
[Battle God’s Shackles.]
[Nerva Sephiroth’s Shackles will fetter your ankles down for one second.]
[You have fallen into a stunned state. You will not be able to do anything for one second.]
“…!”
A black chain suddenly appeared and shackled the ankles of the entire Eivelis Imperial Army. Once could not underestimate the effects even if it was only for a second. No. A second in a fierce battlefield could spell the life and death of someone. In just an instant, the wall of shields that they have created had collapsed.
Rumbleeeeee—
The tens of thousands of magical attacks and arrows pierced through the soldiers’ defenses after they had been rendered immobile.
“Keuaaaaaaaack!”
“Keheoooooook!”
“For, For Her Majesty, Ellie!!!”
“Aaaaaaaaack!”
Screams rang throughout the area. With their screams as their accompaniment, Loki ran to the vanguard. The enemies were in a disarray after they were dealt that much damage. During this gap, the knights would slaughter them one after another and then continue on to the next point of their defenses.
Before he reached the first line of defense, Loki took out another parchment, “This time, let’s strengthen our forces.”
[Battle God’s Strengthening]
[Long-range attack’s strength, like magical attack and arrows’ attack, will increase by 1.3x!]
It was just 1.3x but it was still enough to devastate the enemies in front of them. Another baptism of magical attacks and arrows, attacks that had become 1.3x stronger than before, rained down on the enemies of the Luvien Empire that blocked their path. This time, the amount was higher. There were around 40,000 magical attacks and 100,000 arrows that caused the skies to turn dark above the Eivelis Imperial Army.
“You’re done for!”
***
Black Dragon was overwhelmed with emotions.
‘Aaaaaah! Just listen to the wonderful name that I gave to the guild members! Power Infinity Great King God General Magister Dark Breaker Team!!! Doesn’t your heart pound just at the sound of it?!’
Minhyuk asked his father, Black Dragon, to look after Elizabeth. After her memories of the past had been erased and she became Minhyuk’s retainer, Elizabeth had become a pure and innocent girl. But even if that was the case, the power that she could wield was still out of this world. Because of that, Minhyuk had to ask Elizabeth not to use her powers, unless she was given the order to do so.
Black Dragon had given Elizabeth a simple signal. He told her, ‘Elizabeth, if I say sealed, that means that you cannot use your powers. You can use your powers if I say unsealed.’
Black Dragon made his dreams fully come true with the help of a pure and innocent girl.
‘There were things like that when watching cool movies and animations, right?! Someone, who was hiding their powers, will surprise the world with their words, ‘I am lifting the seals to my power’!!!’
Black Dragon made Elizabeth do this ‘seal’ kind of thing. Of course, this was all for the sake of Minhyuk and Elizabeth. Well, perhaps also for Black Dragon, “Fufufufu. Elizabeth, you must absolutely say those lines.”
Black Dragon had also told Elizabeth some lines that she should say when the seal was released! And the innocent Elizabeth just nodded vigorously at Black Dragon’s words.
And now, Black Dragon, who was watching the baptism of magical attacks and arrows that clouded the skies above them, said to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth. Let your power run rampant. Fufufufu.”
***
Under the imminent downfall of the baptism of magical attacks and arrows, Airen looked at the army that had turned into a mess from the Battle God’s powers. However, the bombing of magical attacks and arrows, which had become almost 1.5x stronger than before, was already at the tip of their noses.
‘We can’t stop this…’
Airen could tell that almost 1/10th of their troops would die from this. At that moment, she remembered the girl that was standing behind her.
‘The slightly lacking child,’ Airen thought, wanting to protect the child behind her. She immediately turned around and stood in front of the girl to protect her from the magical attacks and arrows that would soon pour down on them.
“Don’t be scared. This Unnie will protect you.”
At the same time, the commentators from all over the world sighed ruefully as they watched the rain of magical attacks and arrows.
[I can already say that it would be very easy for the first army to pass through them.]
[We can tell how much Nerva Sephiroth wanted to keep Eivelis Empire in check. His parchments had already made an appearance twice from the get-go.]
[What unbelievable power. We can expect the First Army to destroy the entrance defense army in less than two hours.]
At that moment, the attack started to fall down on the ground. In other words, it was time for Airen to cut at least some of them down.
“…”
“…”
However, everything suddenly stopped. To be exact, the baptism of magical attacks and arrows stopped their descent from the skies above them. Airen hurriedly turned to look back the moment she felt a powerful surge of mana appear behind her. That was when she saw the beautiful girl, Elizabeth, glowing with a bloody red energy behind her.
“I’m Elizabeth. In the name of Black Dragon, I have awakened the great power that is slumbering in my body.”
Hundreds of cameras zoomed in on Elizabeth’s face as she walked forward.
Meanwhile, Black Dragon, who was watching everything from afar, trembled in excitement. At the same time, Elizabeth said, “I am Elizabeth, the youngest member of the Power Infinity Great King God General Magister Dark Breaker Team.”
“…???”
“…???”
[…???]
Elizabeth dutifully uttered the lines that Black Dragon told her to say. According to Black Dragon, everyone would adore her and love her more if she said those words. And it was the truth. No matter how chuuni the line was, the charm would totally depend on who was spitting the line.
Of course, the players from all over the world that heard the team name panicked for a moment. It was especially after seeing the hundreds of thousands of magical attacks and arrows that the Luvien Empire sent out being returned to them.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
…The attack devoured them, burning everything in their ranks down to the ground.
Elizabeth did not forget to utter the words that Black Dragon told her to. The final line that would embellish her shocking act, “All of you, kneel down.”
