Chapter 48 great victory

‘I won.’

Although it was close, I defeated the orc warchief within the time limit.

Hyunseong’s body, which had been in a horrific state that looked like a corpse, quickly regained its original shape.

It was thanks to the effectiveness of the healers’ heels and the Book of Immortality, which poured so much that Hyunseong’s body was covered in pure white light that it could not be seen.

‘It’s frustrating.’

The power that had filled his whole body was gone.

An excruciating lethargy wrapped around Hyunseong’s body.

‘What kind of loot do you want?’

If possible, I wish there were more skill books than items such as weapons, armor, and accessories.

The weapon was enough for the dragon blood sword, and the armor and accessories were in the process of collecting the Demon King’s Armor Set and the Vampire King’s Accessory Set.

‘Is Yuna going to be successful?’

Maybe they’re still fighting.

Having recovered his body to some extent, Hyunseong got up from his seat and headed for the cockpit.

An intelligence officer was on board near the cockpit.

“Is the Orc Shaman raid successful?”

At Hyunseong’s question, the eyes of the surviving rankers were all at once.

Having dealt with the orc warchief, if the orc shaman had also been dealt with, this battle would have been won.

“I’m… … .”

At Hyunseong’s question, the intelligence officer faltered.

“Tell me quickly.”

At Hyunseong’s call, the intelligence officer opened his mouth with a somber expression.

“The Orc Shaman raid has failed.”

“Failure?”

Hyunseong asked with a surprised expression.

The other rankers also made an expression of disbelief.

The orc warchief is a warrior-type monster.

On the other hand, orc shamans are wizard-type monsters.

Wizard-type monsters are vulnerable to melee attacks.

In addition, it takes a long time to cast a powerful skill, so if you close the distance, you will win.

The Players Association viewed the Orc Shaman raid as more likely to succeed than the Orc Warchief raid.

In fact, it meant that he was certain of victory.

but failed

“Did he even try to escape using a space movement skill?”

At Hyunseong’s question, the intelligence officer shook his head.

“It wasn’t just a simple failure, it was so bad that more than 90% of the exterminators who were involved in the Orc Shaman raid were killed.”

At the intelligence officer’s words, Hyunseong and the rankers’ expressions turned pale.

“Who is Yuna? How is Yuna?”

“The commander-in-chief is alive. However, I understand that he was seriously injured and was transported to the rear.”

“How about Lee Jin-guk, the first party leader of the TS Guild?”

“Did Ma Jin-kwang, the guild leader of the Daegwang Guild, survive?”

Rankers rushed to ask if the rankers who were close to him survived.

“This is a list of survivors. Check it out for yourself.”The intelligence officer handed the military tablet PC to the rankers.

Verification was quickly over.

Because the number of surviving rankers was too small.

The rankers put on a disappointed expression.

They, too, made great sacrifices.

But in the end the goal was achieved.

However, the orc shaman destroyer suffered a blow that was close to annihilation without achieving its goal.

* * *

Hyunseong was able to hear the exact situation only after returning as he had seen it.

Like the orc warchief kill squad led by Hyunseong, the orc shaman kill squad led by Yoona Shin moved through a transport helicopter whose appearance, sound, and flow of magic were concealed due to hero-grade stealth skills.

The overall strategy was the same as that of the Orc Warchief Killer.

It travels over the orc shaman’s head via a transport helicopter.

It then descends to the ground, where the tank blocks the hero-grade orcs from approaching, while Shin Yoona and her melee dealers attack the orc shaman.

Ranged dealers and healers support combat using attack skills and heals from transport helicopters.

As the orc shaman is a wizard-type monster, once he approaches, he thinks that victory is a win-win.

But before the battle even started, a problem arose.

Unlike the orc warchief, who was completely unaware of the existence of the transport helicopter, the orc shaman accurately penetrated the hero-grade stealth skill and launched a first strike.

Wizard-type dealers and healers urgently cast defensive skills, and tanks also used the shield of sacrifice skill earlier than expected.

Thanks to that, the first attack was barely blocked.

But that was only the beginning.

The skills of hero grade Orcs, including the Orc Shaman, poured like rain.

The long-distance skills of the hero-grade orcs were able to be defended somehow, but the one-sided attack of the legendary-grade monster, the orc shaman, could not be prevented.

In the end, the defense skills of the wizard-type dealers and healers that exceeded the limit of defense were shattered, and the tankers who used the Shield of Sacrifice skill died without being able to withstand the damage delivered to the transport helicopter.

After that, the transport helicopter, which was exposed defenseless to the attack of the Orcs, fell to the ground as it was.

The orc shaman exterminator, who wanted to strike first through a surprise attack, was rather hit hard before the battle even started.

However, Yoona Shin and the rankers did not give up.

Shin Yuna and her surviving rankers made numerous sacrifices to break through the walls of hero-grade orcs and eventually succeed in accessing the orc shaman.

The moment Shin Yuna and the rankers were about to put their weapons into the orc shaman’s body, a huge flame erupted.

The flames that rose through the body of the orc shaman turned into a giant over 5 meters tall.

It looked like the fairy of the lamp from a fairy tale.

The power of the orc shaman who turned into a giant of fire was truly enormous.

A palm made of flames crushed the tankers’ bodies, and the heat that erupted from their mouths burned the dealers and healers.

The rankers, including Shin Yoon-ah, resisted with all their might, but the situation was very hopeless.

Yoona Shin and the rankers eventually chose to escape.

In the process, many rankers were once again killed.

The fortunate thing was that the orc shaman, who had turned into a giant of flames, was unable to move.

If the flame giant was a fairy, the orc shaman acted like a lamp.

The radius of the fire giant’s activity was fixed around the location where the orc shaman was standing.

If the Flame Giant could move freely, Shin Yoon-ah and the rankers would all have buried their bones on the spot.

Seeing the footage of the battle scenes, Hyunseong was stunned.

‘He must have skills similar to wild instincts.’

If you can detect it at once even from such a long distance, there is a high probability that you have a legendary level detection skill.

“Are you all right?”Kang Seon-young, the president of the association, approached Hyunseong and asked.

“Yes, because the trauma has healed.”

“You have to be careful though. Because internal injuries cannot be cured even with healing skills.”

If you are injured by an attack loaded with magic, the remaining magic remains in your body, preventing the smooth movement of magic.

A small wound will quickly dissipate the remaining magic power, but a serious injury will also cause the remaining magic power to stay for a long time.

“How about Yoona?”

“The trauma is fully cured, but the internal injuries are so severe that I think I will have to recuperate for about a week.”

“How is the battle situation?”

“We are currently fighting fiercely. Thankfully, Mr. Hyunseong and the extermination crews removed the orc warchief, which greatly dampened the momentum of the orcs. There is no walk rye, so it’s easy to deploy troops.”

At the words of the association president Kang Seon-young, Hyunseong was relieved inside.

Although it failed to eliminate the orc shaman, the war situation did not seem to be bad.

“I will help too.”

The president of the association was startled by Hyunseong’s words.

“You have just crossed the threshold of death. From my point of view, it would be better for you to recuperate.”

If you move your body and use magic while remaining magic power is left, the magic powers may collide with each other, causing more internal injuries.

“Fine. And if I add one hand, won’t the sacrifice of our allies be reduced even a little?”

With those words, Hyunseong got up and headed for the battlefield.

‘I’m sure I misunderstood.’

The president of the association deeply reflected on seeing Hyunseong like that.

He has just crossed the brink of death.

No one would ever want to go to a dangerous battlefield again.

In addition, if you join the battle now, your internal injuries will be even worse due to the remaining magical power in your body.

Even if you give up fighting right away and take a break, no one will resent Hyunseong, who suffered serious injuries while defeating the orc warchief.

However, Hyunseong took all the burden and headed to the battlefield to reduce the sacrifice of his allies with his own will.

‘You must be heartbroken because of the permanent loss of stats, to go to the battlefield without even expressing yourself.’

Hyunseong’s self-sacrificing appearance was enough to set an example for all players.

But that was just an illusion of the president of the association.

Even if other players don’t know, Hyunseong was far from saying that he was an inner sergeant.

It was thanks to the Book of Immortality.

The book of immortality with tremendous resilience returned Hyunseong’s body to a healthy state regardless of internal or external trauma.

It has the ability to restore a body that has been permanently lost, but can’t it recover from internal injuries caused by the remaining magical power?

In addition, the reason Hyunseong went to the battlefield was not just to reduce the sacrifice of his allies.

He was also planning to reduce the sacrifice of his allies and seize the opportunity to easily hunt hero grade orcs.

He can get a lot of points by catching hero grade orcs, and he can also get items and manastones.

For Hyunseong, it was a unique opportunity to reduce the sacrifice of allies, accumulate points, and collect items and magic stones.

But he had to be seen as a great sacrifice in the eyes of others.

“Now that I have recovered to some extent, I will go to the battlefield.”

“I will go too. My magical power has also risen to a certain extent, so I need to take revenge on the fallen comrades.”

Stimulated by Hyunseong’s actions, the rankers all at once gave up their rest and declared their participation in the battlefield.

The president of the association also led his exhausted body to the battlefield.

He was the commander of this battle and a player from the wizarding family with many powerful skills that could change the course of his battlefield.

* * *

Hyunseong jumped into the battlefield.Fragile!

The breath of the Black Lightning Dragon flew into the middle of the Orcs.

Aaaaaaaaah!

With a loud explosion, the orcs were slaughtered.

At the same time as many orcs died, Hyunseong’s stamina and mana quickly filled up.

Hyunseong led the battlefield by continuously using the Black Dragon’s Breath.

‘This is much more convenient.’

The Black Lightning Dragon’s Breath was much more effective against multiple weak enemies than one strong one.

This was all thanks to the power of some of the Vampire and Vampire King accessory sets.

“Sweep it all away!”

“Let’s Jailbreak!”

“Let’s get revenge on our colleagues!”

Motivated by Hyunseong’s actions, even the orc warchief extermination squad joined the battlefield.

Then the flow of the battlefield began to change.

The orc shaman, who should be most careful, did not show any movement despite the deaths of his people.

Whoops!

Hyunseong, who was in the middle of the battle, was surprised by the powerful flow of magic and heat from behind, and looked back.

‘The president of the association.’

With a feminine name of Kang Seon-young and a voluptuous, muscular body, he was preparing her skills.

‘With that look, that name, you say you’re a magician… … .’

It was literally the pinnacle of unbalance.

But his skills were real.

Aaaaaaaaah!

The completed skill of the association president exploded at the waist of the orc horde.

And inferno has descended on this world.

Hundreds of orcs disappeared in an instant as a handful of ashes.

It was weaker than the flame skill used by the orc shaman, but it was so destructive that it overwhelms other mage rankers.

wow!

At that moment, the orc shaman, located behind the orc horde, let out a loud roar.

With him the orcs began to retreat like a wave.

“Chase!”

“Don’t leave a single one alive!”

Excited players shouted and chased after the orc horde.

Hyunseong also joined the chase.

Now was the perfect opportunity to inflict the greatest damage on the Orcs.

* * *

The place where the orcs retreated was the dungeon from which they came out.

‘Where are these guys trying to run away from? Blink.’

Hyunseong used the blink skill to jump over the space and block the dimensional gate at the entrance of the dungeon.

Wow!

The orcs burst into an angry roar and rushed towards Hyunseong.

‘The Breath of the Black Dragon Dragon.’

Fragile!

The black lightning dragon’s breath spewed out powerful black lightning and turned the orcs that rushed at Hyunseong into black charcoal.

‘Things are better than before.’

When dealing with the orc chieftain, the black lightning dragon’s breath did not work properly, so his stamina and mana could not be restored.

But he was different now.

Rare-grade orcs were turned into ashes with one blow of the Black Lightning Dragon, and hero-grade orcs were also severely damaged, continuously recovering Hyunseong’s stamina and magical power.

As soon as his mana and stamina were restored, Hyunseong continuously used the Black Lightning Dragon’s Breath.

The corpses of orcs piled up in front of Hyunseong, who blocked the dimension gate.

Whoops!

Then, a fireball filled with heat flew toward Hyunseong.

Hyunseong quickly avoided him.

Aaaaaaaaah!

Flames covered the ground with a loud explosion sound.

The fireball wasn’t one shot.

Aww! Aww!

Fireballs filled with powerful magic flew in succession.

In the end, Hyunseong had no choice but to get out of the way by the dimensional gate to avoid the fireball.

‘Orc Shaman.’

The culprit who attacked Hyunseong was the orc shaman.

‘You have to catch him.’

Hyunseong quickly corrected the goal.

As long as the orc shaman appeared, it was impossible to block the dimension gate alone anyway.

Then he had to prioritize and get rid of the orcs.

The legendary monster orc shaman, who killed numerous rankers by winning a great victory over the extermination squad led by Shin Yoon-a, was of course the first priority to be eliminated.

‘Even if the others don’t know, you’ll never let it go. Blink.’

Hyunseong used the Blink skill.

– It is a place where the flow of magic is unstable. Active Skill Blink – The activation of hero rank has been cancelled.

But it was also prepared.

percussion!

Hyunseong unleashed the Black Lightning Dragon’s breath with all his might, sprinting across the orc horde and sprinting towards the orc shaman.

The orc shaman did not escape.

Rather, they ran towards Hyunseong.

Hyunseong swung his dragon blood sword at the orc shaman.

Whoops!

At that moment, a crimson flame engulfed the orc shaman’s body.

Aww!

The dragon blood sword collided with the flames and bounced off with a huge explosion.

Whik!

A giant’s hand made of flames flew towards Hyunseong.

percussion!

Hyunseong avoided the giant’s touch with a short shot.

But just by passing the giant’s hand, Hyunseong’s hair and eyebrows burned and her skin melted.

It was really hot.

Hyunseong used the Great Hill skill.

The effects of the Book of Immortality and the Great Heal overlapped, and the melted skin regained its original shape in an instant.

The hair and eyebrows that had turned into a handful of ashes also grew back.

Hyunseong blew the black dragon’s breath and attacked the orc shaman who had turned into a flame giant.

But it never worked.

Aww! Aww!

Rather, they had to retreat from the attack of the onslaught of fire giants.

“attack!”

“Let’s get revenge on our colleagues!”

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived at just the right moment.

Rankers who followed Hyunseong into the battlefield joined.

Hyunseong attacked the orc shaman with the rankers.

The orc shaman ran wild and attacked Hyunseong and the rankers.

A back-and-forth battle ensued.

‘I can see why it was hit close to annihilation.’

The more Hyunseong attacked the orc shaman, the more he seemed to understand why the exterminator, including Shin Yoon-ah, was defeated.

The attack never worked.

Conversely, the attacks of the orc shaman were powerful enough to be considered terrifying indeed.

But unlike before, the current orc shaman was alone.

The heroic orcs who helped the orc shaman were also on the verge of extinction.

Hyunseong and the rankers attacked the orc shaman through a hit-and-run wheel battle.

Whoops!

The flame that had been in the shape of a giant in the constant attack gradually faded away.

Hyunseong and the rankers continued to attack.

The flames went down faster.

Crisp!

Then, eventually, the skill disappeared.

Whoops!

A dragon blood sword was lodged in the heart of the orc shaman, who had lost the flame that protected him.

dump!

The orc shaman who had turned into a cold corpse lay helplessly on the floor.

“Wow!”

“Win!”

The rankers blew out a shout of victory.

* * *

Jason, the commander of the UN Allied Forces, looked at Hyunseong, who was shouting for victory with his eyes filled with astonishment.

Jason was originally a decent fight pretender, but he planned to withdraw allied UN forces.

This is because it was determined that the operation to remove the legendary orc established by the Korea Players Association had a high probability of failure.

But the operation was successful.

It was actually half a success.

The Orc Warchief raid succeeded, but the Orc Shaman raid failed.

But that was enough.

This is because the orc warchief, who can cast the spirit-based attack skill, which the UN allies were most wary of, has been removed.

Jason quickly canceled the withdrawal plan.

And he went into annihilation of the orc horde with all his might to help the Korean players.

But something unexpected happened.Players who participated in the Orc Warchief raid chose to join the war instead of rest.

And they really did a great job.

In particular, the performance of the player who took the breath of the orc warchief was truly impressive.

He alone blocked the escape route of the orcs.

He fought alone with the orc shaman.

And finally, with the help of the rankers, the orc shaman died.

Jason was deeply impressed with the skill and tireless fighting spirit of the players who had killed the orc warchief and orc shaman.

‘It looks like a magic swordsman series, but it’s really amazing.’

Against the orc warchief, he showed a mix of tanks and dealers, and when blocking the escape route of the orc horde, he used wide-area skills to make an outstanding performance more than any wizard-type ranker.

‘You must attract them.’

If it was a player with that level of skill, even if it was a billion dollars, it was worth subscribing.

‘I don’t think there are other talented people like Shin Yoon-ah in Korea.’

As soon as the battle was over, Jason decided to inform his country of this fact.

* * *

The battle ended in a great human victory.

However, it was not possible to completely annihilate the orc horde.

This is because, thanks to the efforts of the orc shaman, some hordes of orcs have returned to their original world through the dimensional gate from which they came.

The Korean government announced the victory of the 2nd subjugation war on a large scale.

People on the way to evacuation burst into cheers.

The government promoted the fact that Korea succeeded in raiding the third legendary monster, the Orc Warchief, and the fourth legendary monster, the Orc Shaman, following the success of the first legendary monster Imoogi raid.

Thanks to that, Korea was able to keep the Aaa dungeon safety rating.

No, beyond the level of protection, I achieved the great achievement of 3 consecutive successive legendary monster raids.

It was the first and only achievement in the world.

Korea has strongly implanted the image of a player powerhouse all over the world.

But the inside wasn’t that good.

The damage to human life and property was too great.

In particular, among the casualties, the damage of high-level players and rankers was truly enormous.

A not small number of high-level players and rankers also died during the Imoogi Raid.

The same was true for this Orc Warchief raid and Orc Shaman raid.

If a legendary monster appeared once again, it was not even possible to estimate how much damage it would take.

In addition, there was also the problem of managing the dimensional gate, where legendary-grade monsters once appeared.

When a rare-grade monster appears in a dungeon where normal-grade monsters normally appeared, rare-grade monsters continue to pour out after that.

Then, the government raises the dungeon grade from normal grade to rare grade.

However, this time, two legend-grade monsters and hero-grade monsters poured out in a pile of normal grade dungeons.

Theoretically, the dungeon level should be upgraded to the legendary level.

There are a total of four legendary monsters that have appeared around the world.

Three of them came from Korea.

This is a dungeon where a legendary level monster has already popped up once.

There is nothing strange about the legendary level monsters popping out a few more times.

The Korean government had no choice but to suffer because they did not know when another legendary monster would appear.

Although it pretended to be quite strong externally, the inside of the Korean government was rotting and rotting.

* * *

“Are you all right?”At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona nodded her head with an emaciated expression.

“Yeah, the trauma was all over. If you don’t use your magic power on purpose, your wounds will be healed within a few days.”

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. It was unavoidable.”

Shin Yoona smiled bitterly at Hyunseong’s words.

It was not Shin Yoona’s fault that her plan went wrong from the beginning.

But after that, it was Shin Yoona herself who made the wrong decision.

Because of that wrong judgment, many rankers lost their lives.

A thought floated through her mind if she had rather acknowledged her failure from the beginning and moved toward the goal of escape.

If it did, much more rankers would have survived.

“My mistake is big.”

Shin Yoon-ah said, blaming herself.

Hyunseong could no longer offer any words of consolation.

It was because her god Yoona’s expression looked so sad.

“I have to become stronger, so as not to go through such terrible pain again.”

Yoona Shin is not a ranker whose existence is known to the general public.

She never appeared on the news and she never appeared on a variety show.

But she was recognized among the rankers as the best in Korea.

Her position was further consolidated as she completed the Imoogi Raid and became the protagonist of Legendary-grade weapons and skill books.

So it had been a long time since she had felt her miserable frustration and helplessness like this.

But she wasn’t the kind of person who would break down Shin Yoona like this.

She had a stronger poison than Shin Yoona.

She vowed to become strong enough to overcome the same crisis with her skills as before.

She swore that the next time she met an orc shaman, she would avenge her comrades who had been sacrificed on the battlefield.

‘No need to worry.’

Hyunseong was relieved to hear Shin Yoon-ah’s answer.

She looked so sad and desperate, but she did not break Shin Yoona.

On the contrary, this incident made me stronger.

Her strong will was felt in the eyes of her god Yoona.

‘Well, I’m not the kind of person who will fall and break at this level.’

“Thank you for taking revenge on my colleagues on my behalf.”

“Of course, I just did what I had to do. I didn’t do it alone.”

“Even so, it is true that Hyunseong made the biggest contribution. He might have missed the orc shaman if it wasn’t for Hyunseong.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong smiled mischievously.

“By the way, Hyunseong, are you okay? You’ve been fighting forcibly in a row.”

“I’m fine.”

When Hyunseong answered in a bright voice, Yoona Shin gave a faint smile.

It was her first smile after the battle.

Shin Yoon-ah felt like her strength was rising from Hyunseong’s bright appearance.

“You are really great. Even if you get a legendary skill book, you won’t be able to recover the lost stats… … .”

Hyunseong also lost a lot of teammates.

Also lost stats.

But she didn’t feel frustrated or lethargic as she did.

Rather, she showed a brighter side.

Shin Yoona took her heart, thinking she should imitate Hyunseong.
