The heavy snow that fell every day suddenly stopped as if salty.

It’s like seeing the blue sky for the first time in a while, as if telling you that today is the day you must launch your strategy.

‘Certainly the movements of the crew are more nimble.’

Originally, it was rare for the frontier commander to directly go on a mission.

However, this case is a race against hourly wages.

Lately, war clouds have been gathering over the entire North. Strange things started to happen one by one.

It happens once every few decades.

When misfortune and adversity come. When bad luck overlaps bad luck, disaster is revealed.

Every time that happens, many people die.

If you don’t struggle with all your might, a sense of crisis strikes as if the northern part will collapse.

Stefan felt uneasy for some reason, but he joined the operation hoping that it would not be the only one.

“Stop everything!”

I lowered my stance and looked at the blackened ground below.

Because there was no snow, the black lump of earth beneath the snow was more visible.

‘This should be enough.’

Fortunately, the monsters were nowhere to be seen.

“Install the magic tools.”

The soldiers moved quickly. For safety’s sake, the forces were not divided. Several people stuck together and moved to install the magic tool, so the work became much easier.

‘Tsk, it’s so peaceful that I’m more anxious.’

I think it would have been less unpleasant if the monsters had come out of here and attacked.

Stefan looked at the sky he hadn’t seen in a long time and prayed, hoping that nothing would happen where Ren, the Black Panthers, and the Amaranth Knights were.

* * *

The members of the Black Panthers risked their lives to dig deep into the mountain range.

Habitat of trolls. Digging through the snow-covered forest without hesitation, he searched for traces of the warchief.

‘Damn it, I can’t see it here either.’

During the three days that Ren was asleep, Olive found and read every document containing information about the troll warchief.

This is the second time in nearly 50 years that a troll warchief has appeared in the North.

And the person who captured the troll warchief was Sara, who had the title of troll slayer.

Based on the information she had left about the trolls, several candidate sites were created.

‘The troll warchief will never be the one to enter the black land until his power expands.’

I’ve already lost trolls to Ren once.

If you gather the trolls scattered all over the mountain range and increase your power, then they will probably go to the black land.

He’s a guy who values strength and power.

“Captain! There are trolls passing by!”

As I moved my gaze along the crew member’s finger, I saw four trolls rushing somewhere on the other side of the ridge.

Judging by the patterns drawn on the green skin, they weren’t the trolls living nearby.

‘I’ll have to go farther west from here to find their habitat, right?’

If they had to come all the way here and go somewhere in such a hurry… … .

‘Hey there!’

“Let’s follow.”

“yes!”

Climbing the ridge and reaching the top, a wide forest appeared.

It is a place where the sunlight does not come in well because the trees are so high that they are tightly packed.

A humid and cool forest.

It was a place where they would not have dared to enter because it looked dangerous before, but Olive and the crew went inside without hesitation.

Shallow vibrations resonate whenever there is a gap. The air became stuffy and the sight darkened, as if I had entered another world.

As quietly as possible, I entered cautiously, following the trail left by the trolls as they ran. They left traces of their past on the floor and all over the trees.

“That… … .”

A vacant lot dripping down. There is a huge altar in it, and trolls are gathering there.

“Captain, the troll warchief.”

One of the crew said to Olive.

I knew it without having to hear it.

A troll standing reverently under an altar, waving his staff up and down.

It was definitely the warchief of the troll that fought Ren.

‘What are you trying to do?’

Olive checked his location and tried to sneak back but stopped.

Looking closely, there were monsters other than trolls lying on the altar with broken limbs.

He was clearly screaming and breathing, so he wasn’t dead, but he seemed to have been left alive and only had his limbs disabled so he couldn’t move.

‘This crazy… … .’

The trolls next to him slashed the head of one of the green-skinned trolls they had run up to and sprayed blood over the other fallen monsters.

“Woo-wook.”

“town.”

‘Hold on! If I get caught here, it’s over.’

Olive looked at the crew and warned them with her eyes.

The two crew members covered their mouths and tried to suppress their vomit.

It was such a bizarre and cruel appearance that disgusting things came up just by looking at it.

Monsters that are obviously alive, but their limbs are broken and their bodies are fluttering.

The green blood soaked their bodies and the trolls dancing in front of the altar watching it.

‘It’s not serious. It looks like they’re doing some kind of ritual.’

Even just looking at it, a sense of crisis sets in. Feeling like I shouldn’t have let this ritual go on as it is.

On the troll warchief’s chest, a large sword scar made by Ren was still intact.

‘It’s amazing, the wounds still haven’t healed with the resilience of a troll warchief… … .’

Olive decided to stand up and signaled to the crew.

“Oops.”

The nausea was strangely unbearable.

Olive covered her mouth at the momentary regurgitation, but that wasn’t the problem.

“Kreuk.”

A troll saw this place and wept.

“sh*t, run!”

Olive and the crew ran back without delay.

The cries of the trolls from behind grew stronger. The vibrations running down the floor reverberated like crazy.

“If you hesitate now, not only you but also your comrades in the citadel will die! So die run!”

“yes!!”

The faces of the crew members and Olive were poisoned.

* * *

Sarah guided me out of the valley and headed somewhere.

“This is the beginning of the black land snowfield… … .”

– From what I’ve checked, there are no monsters on this side right now. I think it’s because of the Warchief, but now’s your chance.

“Is this really a shortcut?”

– Yeah, and you said finding someone’s grave makes you stronger?

“Yes.”

– I said, what you need right now is time, but on the contrary, time is also lacking.

It’s still not enough to deal with the troll warchief. That’s why you need to be a little stronger. But the problem is that the troll warchief also gets stronger if left alone.

– If you go this way, you will find the tombs of the Black Land monsters.

“Do they build graves for monsters?”

– No, originally, let alone the grave, they would eat the corpse among themselves. But a few months ago, there was a guy who made a tomb.

“The grave… … , who is it?”

– I don’t know either. But it is true that the tombs of monsters are steadily increasing.

Someone who builds the tombs of black land monsters.

There are guys who come to mind.

Black Castle.

A group of black magicians. Borrowing the power of the devil, the fallen ones did what they did by creating a grave to steal their spiritual power.

‘The seed of disaster. Is that also part of it?’

The Black Land is a more dangerous area than the desert. The black castles are the ones who make tombs while crossing such places as they please. It was only there.

‘If you run into a warlock over there, it could be really dangerous. but… … .’

However, he was so scared that he could not run away.

“I will go.”

– be careful. If you happen to meet a name, run away immediately. One name is fine, but if there are more than two names, it will be difficult for you too.

“All right.”

The sky, which had been bright, began to be covered with light clouds at some point.

For some reason, leaving behind the awkward feeling, I went into the black land.

‘I heard that you can see the gorge after running all the way through the forest.’

ran straight

Fortunately, the monsters were nowhere to be seen.

Trees that turned white like ice flowers were gathered thickly, and after passing there, a canyon appeared.

‘There really is.’

The tombs visible down the canyon in the distance.

The distance that Sarah could go did not reach down there, so she said that all she saw was the tomb from afar.

‘Let’s go.’

The monsters were nowhere to be seen. You never know when they’ll show up, so hurry up… … .

Shhhhh!!

A long piece of wood flew in with a harsh crackling sound.

“Suck!”

He quickly turned around and cut off a piece of wood.

Suddenly, a monster fell from among the trees along with the fallen pieces of wood.

‘Did he hide in a tree?’

A yellow body with black dots closely attached to it. The pupils dotted on the pure white iris are staring blankly at me.

“Kreureung.”

Standing on two feet, holding a thick sword in his right hand.

He holds a bow in his left hand, and the quiver on his back contains pieces of wood used as arrows.

‘Am I using a sword and a bow at the same time?’

not an ordinary guy From the beginning, the monster who uses the palace to help can’t be ordinary.

“What are you?”

I asked just in case.

Then, instead of answering, he moved his tail to catch the arrow in the quiver and put it on the string.

‘I guess he was shooting an arrow with his tail and his left hand.’

Kiyi Iik-

No matter how strong the tail power is, the string of the bow is pulled tight.

ping!

As soon as the string was released, I rolled on the ground.

The distance was close, so it was difficult to avoid seeing them flying.

‘It sticks once.’

When I ran to him, he put a sword in his mouth and hung on his swinging back. Then he jumped off the ground on all fours and climbed up a tree.

‘this… … !’

In this way, the meaning of distance control disappears.

Rather, it was no different from him approaching me in a good way.

‘The shadow archer wouldn’t have looked like that?’

Then another named monster?

shhh! shhh! shhh!

After hitting the air and hitting three arrows in quick succession, he ran toward the canyon.

The movement of the guy who climbs the tree and shoots his anger without hesitation is unusual.

‘Tsk. It looks difficult to escape.’

Pretending to run away, I closed the distance little by little.

It was about to become difficult to close the distance any longer, so I turned and entered the forest.

You can see him through the moving leaves.

‘There is an opportunity.’

The moment when he jumps from one tree to another.

‘now!’

[Spell of Debilitation]

The evil spirit entered the body and entangled itself.

“Kreuk.”

He groaned and, unable to climb the tree properly, slid down.

“Even monkeys fall from trees!”

In an instant, I closed the distance with him and put my spiritual energy into my first marriage.

Whoops!!

Kang!!

He swung the sword he was holding in his mouth and blocked my sword.

His sword and my sword collided several times and became entangled.

The one who pulled the sword out of his mouth with his hand swung it and blocked my sword by hooking it to the bow.

‘Isn’t that great?’

With this level of skill, it is difficult to use a double sword, but does a left bow sword make sense?

[Bulge]

But there are still many left for me.

Caan-!!

woo woo woo woo-

The body of the guy who prevented my first marriage floated in the air and landed on a tree.

“Don’t kill me as it is.”

I put my flag on my sword.

I wanted to save my energy as much as possible, but I couldn’t help it. With this level of skill, he would be a hundred names.

If you can kill it now, when there are no other monsters, it’s better to kill it.

“Kurrr!!”

The speculation in his body became tangible and shook.

green speculation.

It wasn’t comparable to the troll warchief, but at this point, it’s certain. That he is quite strong among the named.

Havenberg Swordsmanship

– 3rd season

– Slash (斬格)

From nob le mtl dot com

Gray qi gathers on the sword of the first spirit and sharpens it.

A slash with maximum power in a single blow.

“Haaa!”

Caan!!

The slash and his sword collided, sending a huge shockwave flying in all directions.

Cracks appeared on the blade of the sword. With a rupture, his body flew away, breaking several trees.

Snow and dust rose, forming a mist. Upon entering, the blade and handle of the broken sword fell on the floor.

“Oh, tsk.”

And the look of the guy in the distance.

As I strode away on four legs, I was quickly widening the distance with me.

‘I should have killed him here.’

Unable to chase after me, I headed for the graveyard I was originally going to go to.

The inside of the canyon was quite wide.

There were several tombs of monsters gathered in a straight canyon and a large site protruding sideways in the middle.

“her.”

A tomb in the form of roughly stacking stone towers.

And the red specters that slowly reveal themselves.

‘no way… … .’

All of the dozens of ghosts here had become evil spirits.
