Chapter 2: Advance Notice of an Outstanding Performance
2) Advance Notice of an Outstanding Performance
“Wake up. Cry out according to your original wild nature.”
More than half of the sacred river at Dulmore Fortress had been filled with stones and soil. The priests of the Embinyu Church walked forward with their wands while chanting spells. It was then hurtled towards the troops defending the fortress.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I don’t know. My head itches and my body aches. It feels like my flesh is tearing.”
Suddenly, long hairs sprouted out between the armour that the soldiers were wearing.
“What is this?”
“I don’t know. This can’t be. My body is changing.”
Their limbs became thicker and their skin was peeled off. They couldn’t endure it any longer and took off their armour.
“K-kill me!”
“Call the priests.”
“No. Before that…ah, it is too late…”
Hair grew from their stomachs and faces and their fell to the ground on all fours.
Grrrr!
They became medium sized wolves with murderous eyes. The priests of the Embinyu Church used spells to change a human into a beast. The wolves jumped around and bit the necks of any humans in the vicinity.
They had been fighting alongside their colleagues but their instinct and reason had been influenced towards the Embinyu Church.
“Your eyes and ears are sensing the wrong things. You must only serve Embinyu!”
And they were also enveloped in brainwashing magic. The enchanted soldiers instantly defected and joined the Embinyu Church. The archers on the walls turned their arrows towards the soldiers inside the castle.
“Wake up!”
“Captain, trust in the Embinyu. He will lead us to a comfortable and happy world free of pain.”
“Jyado! We shouldn’t forget the favour His Majesty has done for us.”
“Huh, the king? What has he given to us? Heavy taxes, causing a war because of greed for territory or capturing and killing any refugees?”
“It was unavoidable. Joining that side isn’t the answer!”
“The king is deceiving us. He wants to maintain his authority in front of the nobility. You have felt more pain as time passed. You can rest if you join Embinyu.”
The captain tried to stop the soldiers but he soon feel victim to the brainwashing spell.
“Kukukut, you are right. Then I will follow Embinyu.”
The revolt of the soldiers took place everywhere. The knights weren’t caught but the soldier with low loyalty were brainwashed.
While Weed was playing in the air, the defenders in Dulmore Fortress were crumbling. The defense forces fell victim to the brainwashing and the number of Embinyu troops increased.
“These ugly bastards.”
Weed who was running around on a turtle could guess the situation simply by looking down at the ground.
“I can’t leave it to these people. They won’t last for long.”
He grumbled as the soldiers suddenly changed positions to the Embinyu Church. However, the fortress didn’t fall to the Embinyu Church straight away.
The magic devices and siege weapons of the fortress was still working. The elites arranged in the archer towers fired steel arrows. The magicians of the Mapon and Beiner Kingdoms gathered on the walls also counterattacked the enemies. The attacks were effective in delaying the advance of the fanatics and the demons.
Weed wanted at least that degree. He could play around to his heart’s content.
“You are already the last one!”
He ignored the resistance of the archers and caused the remaining large turtle to fall down. He rode the flaming turtle as it fell to the ground.
The viewers watching the broadcast sometimes felt like they were watching a scene from an action movie.
‘A positive appearance will come out!’
His cloak waved as he stood on the back of the turtle that crashed into the central square of the fortress!
-You have crashed heavily into the ground from a high position.
Your necklace has absorbed the shock.
Health has been reduced by 37,838.
The collision has caught a slight shoulder injury.
More mana will be consumed when using a sword skill.
This will last for 961 seconds.
If a priests heals you then health and mana will recover quickly.
An explosion took place and Weed slowly emerged after the dust subsided. The decline in health wasn’t so bad but the shoulder injury was a little worrisome. But he wasn’t in a dangerous fight at the moment so he could endure it.
‘It was really cool. I am the best.’
The stations and viewers were being sent this scene in real time.
There was a fuss on the bulletin boards.
-Fighting in the sky is really fantastic but he seems a little ignorant. Why did he fall? Surely he had enough skill to be able to escape?
-His eyes seem like it hurt quite a bit.
-The sight of Weed escaping from the turtle just before it exploded caused my heart to pound.
-Did you see his form? I am invigorated by the sight of it.
The viewers focused on his appearance and actions. They were hoping that Weed would show them an electrifying and exciting battle! An excitement similar to when the orc Karichwi
