— The Embinyu God is he who lets us enjoy freedom and gives us strength.
The hymn sung by the Priests! It was a song that added Strength to the Dark Knights, Soldiers, and Priests.
Their bodies tangled together, the skeletons crawled up the wall.
“Cl-cla-clack.”
“Go up. Go up.”
The Ghouls rammed the wall with their bodies.
After the annihilation of the savages, an Undead Legion of over 10 thousand had been made. They swarmed thickly at the base of the wall and waged siege warfare.
On the wall, Archers shot directly downwards, and divine magic poured down.
* * *
Weed laughed heartily. “Nothing less from Balkan.”
Just one Necromancer was able to present such a terrifying display of power.
“He have to be at this level to say he has the right to lead the Immortal Legion.”
There was nothing more electrifying than simply looking at the fight, hidden behind the rocky mountain.
Moooooooooooo!
Yellowy bellowed his happiness as he raised his head and extended his tongue. The pure and simple Korean cow was, to some degree, in the process of taking after Weed’s wickedness.
“Walls. Take over the walls.”
“Get up and fight. It’s Balkan-nim’s command.”
A skeleton who fell while climbing the wall soon applied itself again despite its broken bones. Even though it was pierced with hundreds of arrows and fell, the Ghoul also rose again.
“Kuuaaaah.” It plucked out the arrows embedded in its body, stomped on the shafts, and pounded the wall.
The Embinyu Church Priests worked hard to use divine power. “O Emibnyu God, punish these who know not thy mercy.”
Flames of divine power flared to life at the base of the wall. Purification by blue flames! The flames swept over the Dullahans, Skeletons, and Ghouls, melting scores of Undead. They were completely destroyed, unable to revive again.
The divine power of the Priests of the Church of Freya was also great, but the offensive power of the Embinyu Church Priests was enough to see them as upper-tier Magicians.
Archers shot their arrows and Dark Knights swung their swords. Undead clung to the wall in a swarm, but thanks to their much more favorable position atop the wall and the help of the Priests, the Embinyu Church was not pushed back easily.
The Demonic Spirits under the Embinyu Church’s command were also taking orders and fighting hard. However, they only barely reduced the numbers of the Undead.
Even if Dark Knights or Soldiers shoved them and they crashed to the bottom of the wall, the Undead quickly rose again. They did not die unless they were annihilated by holy magic. When the Soldiers and Priests from the Embinyu Church died in combat and weren’t purified with magic, they became Undead from Dark Rule. Allies suddenly became Undead while fighting with wounds!
Balkan didn’t play around either and actively participated.
“Poison Cuffs!”
A deep blue malice emanated from the bodies of the Undead crawling up the wall. An evil Necromancer spell contaminated and corrupted the surrounding area!
The Embinyu Soldiers who had been deployed to the wall to block the Undead fell to the ground.
“Mass Curse. Mass Weakness.”
This time it was AoE curses!
The curses brought misfortune on the holy magic casting Priests and weakened the Dark Knights and Archers.
Balkan was a Necromancer through and through. Rather than demonstrating his own offensive magic, he commanded the Undead and had a type of specialized profession focusing on AoE curses.
It made Weed emotional. “Indeed, the world is driven by specialized professions.”
He was watching a fight that was much more fun than Go-Stop! He followed the scene between Balkan and the Embinyu Church with feeling from behind the rocky mountain.
[T/N: Go-Stop is a Korean card game. It often gets quite heated and is best enjoyed with friends and beer.]
The sight of the Undead persistently crawling up the wall gave him the chills, and the Embinyu Church’s might was surprising. Though they had also participated in the siege of Fort Odin before, this was very different from what they had shown the players.
There was tenacity and intensity in the fighting of the Undead Soldiers.
“If only I could have a large unit like them…” Weed smacked his lips in regret.
There wasn’t even a need for another plan in capturing the Embinyu fortress. After all, at higher levels, it was justified to call a Necromancer capable of leading an Undead legion a one-man army!
Among players, many Magicians job-changed to Necromancers with such dreams. It would take a long time for Necromancers to become mainstream on the Versailles Continent, but it was easy to find beginner Necromancers taking one Golem and shaking hunting grounds.
Weed observed the battlefield with cold eyes. “The Embinyu Church won’t go down easily with this level.”
The Undead raised by Balkan were really strong. It was indeed true that 10 thousand Undead were raised in an instant. There was nothing unjustified in calling Balkan the master of the Immortal Legion. Balkan’s ability to create Undead with high magic power was incredibly thrilling.
However, there was fundamentally a big impact on the Health of living Undead. There was a limit to how the Undead could be made from low-level savages. Simply making an impressive Undead Legion from low-quality corpses as the foundation was ridiculous, but with the added disadvantage of their position, they weren’t enough to capture the Embinyu Church’s fortress.
“But the fight begins here.”
Weed’s belly was growling again. His stomach clock told him the exact time.
Satiety has fallen to less than 30%.
Maximum Vitality and Health will decrease.
You will tire easily and feel weak.
