Battle in the Volcanic Eruption
From the land vicious heat and steam came bursting out. Part of the crust sank underground. Due to the earthquake, Las Phalanx monsters scrambled for survival while almost simultaneously, many volcanoes in Las Phalanx launched lava into the air.
Erupting from the volcanoes lava rained down and seeped into the Cracked Lands until it overflowed. Las Phalanx, the grand sight of volcanic eruptions. The instinct of Las Phalanx was to be full of fearsome threats. Weed watching the spectacle from afar gave a satisfied laugh.
“Really a great scene!”
When he suffered through the volcanic eruptions, it was the worst. Hunting was interrupted and he had to flee far away. In the process he was deprived of his undead, truly an infernal calamity!
But when others take damage from volcanoes and earthquakes, there was no wonderful sight better than this. It was like a funny story of a cousin’s mountain land’s prices dropping.
“Never forget this for a lifetime!”
In the sky, fragments of the volcanic eruption fell everywhere like meteorites. Lava stained rocks spewing smoke in the clear sky hit the ground.
Syuuuuu - kwagwagwagwang!
A tremendous roar stirred as a blast to the ground made a huge hole. From the debris, the fortress created by Haven Kingdom’s fleet fell. The painstakingly made fences and walls shattered like pieces of paper and users and sailors died.
“This is dangerous.”
“Come on! Run to the edge of the river!”
The piled up fortress to prevent monster raids became an obstacle when escaping. In addition to toppling over onto the ground by earthquakes, chunks of lava could be seen falling from the sky.
"Euaaaaag!"
While yelling and screaming at their maximum, the sailors died gloriously!
Dozens of volcanoes in Las Phalanx began erupting at the same time with debris falling like rain. As though thousands of small meteorites were falling, it was a dangerous yet breathtaking sight.
Until now, Weed was in safe places every time volcanic eruptions happened, but they were not guarantees. Just dozens of meters away from him were falling rock debris.
“As long as one is here, there’s no safe place.”
Having experienced several volcanic eruptions, he confirmed safety zones for survival. Weed clung to the back of the mountain peak. The flying debris from the volcano eruption that hit the peaks did hardly any damage.
“At this rate we have to withdraw aboard the ships.”
“Let’s get out of here until the volcano calms down.”
The users and sailors fled to take refuge aboard the ships anchored at the Unfreezing River, but then they saw a massive undead legion. In the background of lava flowing in the Cracked Lands, undead legions consisting of Death Knights, Witches, Ghouls, Zombies, Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Mages, Ghosts, etc. advanced.
“Undead!”
“All the undead legions are advancing. Let’s get ready!”
Zombie arms were swinging and shaking as they came running. Although they shattered from being hit by fireballs along the way, more undead followed suit.
“Keuheuheuheu.”
“Hikkeuk! Hikkeuk!”
Beyond the broken rock walls came the attack from the undead. Whenever lava debris fell, the bright light of flames rose. Every time it did, users and sailors could be seen fiercely fighting the undead.
Death Knights opened their mouths with predetermined words.
“Don’t flee, buried in this lava everyone will die.”
“The purpose of our lives is to catch your ankles. Don’t run away and fight us!”
With the words Weed gave the Death Knights, the enemy’s morale was destroyed.
“Volcanoes will explode even more greatly. The flooding lava will obliterate this place.”
Haven Kingdom’s fleet was at the top of the hill where the terrain made it easy to defend against the invasion of general monsters. On the contrary though, when the volcano exploded, a large number of debris covered it. Of course no matter how the lava flowed out up there, they would not be submerged, but suffering from a volcanic eruption for the first time maximized their anxiety and fear.
They had enough power to defeat the undead, yet they did not concentrate on the battle, preoccupied with escaping and avoiding lava debris. The Death Knights and undead obtained good results. Hit by the magic of the Skeleton Mages, the sailors were gradually led into the world of death.
“Keulkeulkeul!”
Weed laughed delightedly. Committing a bad deed and indulging in the misfortune.
“The feeling of eating spicy chicken next to a hungry person.”
Geuminyi, Rover, Golden Bird and Seoyoon watched this spectacle.
While commanding the undead, he constantly laughed with satisfaction. The misery of others was considered good luck, a wonderful delight. Because that was his original nature!
Rather if Weed suddenly became kind to strangers such as dividing money and items to give beginners, they would be even more shocked and worried. Still, it was hardly possible for Weed to have changed, but even though he was setting up more bad deeds, with their relationship it was understandable.
Because the volcanic eruptions became more intense, the sailors and pirates did not come out from their cover. With the undead, sailors and pirates entangled in combat, he couldn’t help but enjoy the sight. By lava debris, undead also died collapsing.
“Time to gently use new attacks.”
As the undead reduced, mana was restored. Weed held the Staff of the Fallen Saint toward the fortress and chanted curse magic.
“Though your bodies I will create undead. For eternity you shall never leave my hands. Declaration of the Necromancer!”
Weed casted 4 curse magics in a row. Physical abnormalities, itching, fear, stimulus!
Ever since the Las Phalanx volcanoes erupted, the morale of the sailors and pirates was shockingly low. Drinfeld and the Navy Knights did not make any preparations at all for volcanic eruptions. While dealing with the undead legion, the lowered morale dropped even more from the chanted magic.
“The first opponent that must be killed…….”
Weed targeted both the Priests and Wizards hidden in the fortress. The pirate users that could use divine power or magic numbered only 7. Ship classification, turning capability and cannon carrying capacity were critical offshore so Priests were not that necessary. Wizards too, but aboard when miserable battles frequently take place, it was not uncommon to turn the tide.
“Corpse Explosion!”
Weed while waving his hands gathered white mana and chanted the spell. The magic was concentrated on the Priests and Wizards treating the wounded. Where they gathered, Weed’s mana came into contact with a corpse and it violently exploded.
Necromancer’s Bone Throw was their basic attack magic, but the damage of Corpse Explosion was far more powerful than that of intermediate-grade Wizards.
“Keuaaag!”
“It’s a magic attack!”
“The Necromancer commanding the undead legion, where is he?”
“Weed! Weed’s hiding somewhere while commanding the undead legion.”
