MTLNOVEL chapter 452
452 – Column 13. Winter. War. And Chaos.
452 – Column 13. Winter. War. And chaos.
There were shouts and screams everywhere.
In the chaos where everything is engulfed in flames and begins to burn.
The four people met as if by fate and came together in one place.
“Female! Luke!”
“Dearmid! Next to them are Skadi and Hilde?”
Luke, Diarmid and Skadierhilde.
They were able to meet behind the remains of the collapsed wall, as if they had made an appointment.
A temporarily formed party.
However, in this war-like situation, just having a colleague you can trust is a great comfort.
“Luke! Do you know what happened?”
Diarmid asked as he cut down the approaching masked men.
Luke also spoke as he lightly cut down the masked men.
“I do not know! I was just taking a walk nearby when these guys suddenly started appearing—!”
━Kwaaak!
Did you think those peaceful days would continue after Viktor left for the Pantheon? If you ask me, that was not the case.
Luke also vaguely expected that ‘something so amazing that no one could have predicted’ would happen.
Before leaving for the Pantheon, Viktor had warned Luke and his friends, “We may have to borrow your lives,” So he was thinking about it to some extent.
“Is it possible that what Victor was talking about is happening now?”
Luke asked.
Diarmid responded lightly as he pulled out the twin swords “Moraltak” And “Bagaltak” Made of dragon teeth from his belt and cut down the masked assailants.
“I don’t know! But, it worked out just as I was itching for the past few days! So what should we do!? All I have to do is cut down the opponent who attacks me like this!?”
Paaang-.
Then there was a loud sound.
When Dear Meade turned her head, Hilde struck the masked man with a kick.
“These guys are the remnants of Fimblebert. It seems like they keep attacking the executives who are locked up in the detention center. It doesn’t seem like a simple remnant. It feels like I’m moving under someone’s ‘instructions.'”
It was quite a cool-headed reasoning.
Skadi, who had broken the masked man’s arm, also bowed.
“That’s what I think too! Maybe there is a command post! Probably not the Pymblebert guys. They’re almost completely destroyed. Therefore, it is normal to expect intervention from a third party!”
━Ugh!
“Reveal your identity!”
Skadi took off the mask of the enemy he had just defeated.
Then, a face that looked quite old for a ‘student’ who dropped out and wandered was revealed.
He had a bushy beard and a face with scars.
Just by looking at him, his age and experience are evident.
Soldier.
They were soldiers of the mainland kingdom, not dropouts like Pymblebert.
Diarmid gritted his teeth as he looked at the armor and insignia that were revealed when the black robe was removed.
“These guys, I can see the snowflake-shaped badge. A soldier of the Count de Winter family. It looks like the Count de Winter family has started to look after Pymblebert!”
Diarmid was from the West, closely related to Count de Winter.
Because of that, I was able to quickly grasp the situation.
Count de Winter is a person full of desire to go beyond being a ‘duke’ and become a ‘king’.
Now that Duke Cain Arkwright, who ruled with a fearsome deterrent, has been deposed, and Victor, who cut him down, is heading to the Pantheon holding the crown.
The kingdom and Ludens are literally defenseless.
It seemed that Count de Winter took advantage of that opportunity to reveal his ambition again.
Like the War of the Roses 10 years ago.
Diarmid, who came from a family of western horsemen, was able to quickly grasp the situation.
“During the war ten years ago, Count de Winter was called ‘War Lord.’ He went directly to the battlefield and controlled and operated his troops. “I’m sure he’s still here somewhere.”
“Let’s pick the head and this is it!”
Skadi slapped his gauntleted hands together.
Minimizing confusion by defeating the leader enemy general could be said to be one of the fundamental principles of the executive committee’s strategy.
Luke said.
“It just so happens that most of us are highly agile. This means that it is good to organize a separate force and raid only the leadership. I will take the lead. Diarmid, you stand second. Hilde is third. And Skadi, you are the leader.”
The party’s position selection was also planned as if it were a revelation.
Luke surprised himself with his ability to organize and run a party.
It felt like someone who knew me well was ‘with’ me.
Could it be that talent blooms in times of crisis?
No.
I guess that’s not what’s important right now.
“Then, we will break through!”
In a battlefield out of nowhere.
Four flashes of light began to advance through the flames.
* * *
『You finished the second battle safely, right? There is not even 1 damage.』
『The overall level of the party members is very high?』
『Level 60 soldiers are splitting up like ants. To destroy the event of a warrior god so easily.』
I could hear the gods shrouded in darkness appreciating.
It would be strange to see party members who didn’t even take any damage in two battles.
I was relieved.
Because it was progressing in a very similar direction to the game I knew and expected.
The party I organized.
Luke, Diarmid, Hilde and Skadi.
These four were a combination of excellent performance and fast speed, attacking first and defeating the opponent even before his attack turn came.
It was also commonly called the ‘rush combination.’
If the setting, level, and skills were well planned, there was the potential to finish every battle without damage, and that was actually the case.
━Yeonhwan Island!
『You defeated a level 70 knight commander in one go?』
『The opponents can’t even do anything.』
『That guy with the dual swords is strong!』
Level 70 knight commander.
Originally, he would have been a strong opponent by default.
But.
The party members I hired were not people who had grown up in a standard manner.
Since the beginning of the first semester, I have been going to hidden dungeons and experiencing boss battles with bosses from multiple routes at once. As soon as the second semester started, I started hunting dragons and even fighting demons.
Heroes who have grown through many hardships.
The average level is 80 to 85 overall.
Even though it wasn’t the party I mainly ran, this was so great that I was asked if I had used cheats.
To be honest, I’m happy too.
It’s also fun to play games where you push forward with a stronger party.
Soon the warrior god showed his red teeth and laughed loudly.
『Wow, that’s amazing, isn’t it? The “Knight Commander of Winter” Falls without even being able to draw his sword his? What happened while we were unable to participate in the game because we lost the dice!』
Even though the event he prepared is easily overcome, he does not lose his boldness.
Because it’s the first event anyway?
Or is it because you have some faith in it?
Probably the latter.
As if to prove it, the warrior god shouted.
『War Lord! Bringer of war! He finally appears! Wearing a magic shield and mysterious white armor! He has a sword that spits out lightning, and his name is De Winter, the ambitious man!』
Finally, a man appeared on my monitor screen.
「Lv. 85 War Lord – Count de Winter
HP: 100/100
Ap: 500/500
Immune to status ailments. Barricade. Possesses high defense (AP)”.
He is completely clad in white armor from helmet to toe, and looks like a war hero himself. Even to me, who had negative feelings toward him in many ways, he seemed amazing.
Who would have thought that this man would appear as a huge ‘wall’ in a place like this.
If I had known this would happen, it would have been better to go to the mainland and defeat it in advance.
While I was blaming my laziness and ignorance, the blacksmith god slammed his fist on the table.
『Suppression level 85! You’re crazy! Isn’t this the final boss of most games? You’re putting too much effort into raising your level with all kinds of legendary items. It’s obvious that this long-awaited game will be ruined!』
It seems that even the gods have different opinions.
Boss at level 85.
It must be because he is definitely a strong being.
At that time, the god of order held the scales spoke.
『It seems like an irrational number, but it doesn’t violate the rule of causality. Count de Winter is a person obsessed with treasures, rumors, and myths. The setting that he strengthens himself with the Noble Phantasms he collected while traveling through battlefields and dark markets in order to overcome the dukes is valid.』
『Eng, tsk.』
The blacksmith god clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
However, the warrior god, who had been recognized for the setting, now asked even more triumphantly.
『Now, what should we do?』
Is there any point in asking?
I have to fight.
Level 85.
It’s high.
A type of boss monster I’ve never seen before.
Honestly, my interest is piqued.
What technology should I use?
Is there such a thing as instant fraud?
What is the pattern?
If it were a game where I could start a new, I honestly would have welcomed it on purpose and looked at the patterns and looked for lines and gimmicks.
But it’s a pity that it can’t be done.
I guess it’s a bit weird to hit someone on purpose.
So I decided to just kill him.
Even though level 85 is a high number, it doesn’t matter to these guys right now.
Beep-.
I pressed Luke and selected “Weapon Break” Among his numerous skills. I also had a hard time with this technique during my duel with Luke.
If Count de Winter is an ‘item sucker’ rather than his own skills, he should be able to defeat him with just the weapon and armor break effect.
━I’ll go first! Let’s break that shield first!
Clink-.
The effects of 《Weapon Break》 flash across the screen.
The effect soon appeared that the count’s attack power and defense power were greatly reduced.
━My shield!? These little guys!!!
You can’t tell through this small monitor, but he’s probably very confused.
It’s a pity that I can’t be there at the scene.
I swallowed my regret and moved my fingers.
Now it is Hilde’s turn to attack.
Beep-.
《Breaking Martial Arts Armor》
What I chose was a technique that deals additional damage to armor-type opponents.
Hilde’s fighting type is effective against steel types and armor.
━It would be better to peel off the skin first. Hmm!
Paaat-!
A crackling sound effect was heard, as if Hilde’s skill had worked.
「Lv. 85 War Lord – Count de Winter
HP: 100/100
AP: 0/500
Immune to status ailments. Barricade. Possesses high defense (AP)”.
I didn’t lose any HP.
All defenses have been removed.
I didn’t waste my time and chose Diarmid and then designated 《Yanwan Island Rushing Dance》.
━Leave the finishing touches to Diarmid Lee.
In the screen, Diarmid advances like a flash and cuts down the Count’s body.
It was a cool effect.
『He’s kind of handsome.』
『If there is no owner, I want to make you my great warrior.』
Did the gods also notice Diarmid’s greatness?
It’s really OP.
It is the main culprit that ruins balance.
「Lv. 85 War Lord – Count de Winter
Hp : 0/100
Ap : 0/500
Immune to status ailments. Barricade. High defense.”.
Count Winter’s blood has become 0.
Luke and Diarmid were the guys who played in Tartarus, and Hilde and Skadi were the kids who fought every day against the explosion of criminals in the fin-de-siècle world.
It was natural to easily deal with a level 85 boss.
『It was a good match! I wanted to show you the ‘instant fraud’ I prepared. It’s really unfortunate. Wow, this is so true. Well, since it’s the first boss, I made it easy on purpose. If I end the game here, the others will be disappointed.』
The warrior god grunted.
I don’t know if what he said, “I made it easy on purpose” Is true or not.
It was actually easier than I thought.
The ‘God of Death’ said that there must be some gods who are tired of the game and want to help me. A warrior god might be that kind of person.
“It was a good match.”
Is it over now?
From now on, will I be able to step on the warrior god’s khan without any worries?
It was time to think like that.
The game master, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
『The battle phase is not over. Player, continue the battle.』
Continue the battle?
Isn’t the battle phase over?
I felt puzzled.
『What, why isn’t it over? Continue the battle? Is this the end of the winter war I have prepared for? The setting is that the remnants of Winter lose their leader and disperse.』
The warrior god also felt puzzled.
『What?』
『What’s going on?』
When everyone starts to get upset about this situation, someone laughs.
Chaos itself was laughing wildly.
『At this moment, when the plan he had prepared for a long time disappeared like a bubble due to the attacks of the young people, the ‘Count’ was greatly frustrated and gave up being human through the ‘Stone Mask’ that he had acquired. . A long time ago.』
The count’s appearance before my eyes is distorted.
In the form of an incredibly procrastinating monster.
『From now on, it is a realm of chaos, not war.』
━ Garaaah Ahhh!!!
『Lv.? Remnants of a twisted winter
HP : ?
? ? ?』
What is this?
When I was a little nervous, the warrior god frowned.
『What is this? Are you adding a spoonful to the scenario I prepared?』
『Don’t be so upset. I told you so. War and chaos are called needle and thread. Where there is war, chaos also exists.』
『Let’s put it on the scale and measure it to see if it’s against the rules.』
It was time for the Goddess of Order to tilt her head.
The game master opened his mouth.
『There is no need for that. Permitted. Because it looks fun. However, from now on, I will leave the closest chaotic space blank.』
Zek-.
The game master pulled out the nearest question mark with his finger
However, the one remaining eye did not hide a very amused smile.
One remaining eye.
The only emotion contained in that crescent-shaped single eye is ‘interest.’
『That’s interesting. A game must have unexpected aspects like this.』
When I was looking at a being who was crazy about fun, I did not miss and saw a fleeting moment when emotions other than interest and fun sparkled in his eyes.
He seemed to have seen something.
When I turned my head, a strange character appeared on the screen.
『Who is that?』
『Isn’t the rule that a party can have up to four people?』
『This is my first time seeing a battle where a fifth party character appears. Who else? I’ve never heard of such a ‘word’ before?』
“I know? Funny pink hair.』
* * *
“Hey, Luke! “What on earth is that?”
Diarmid shouted in surprise.
I thought I had defeated Count de Winter, but he put on a strange “Stone mask” And turned into something very strange.
The body collapsed, writhing and twisting, leaving only the mask behind, looking just like an octopus or a squid.
“I don’t know either!”
Luke felt a chill of fear.
There was something about that monster that instinctively caused fear in people’s hearts.
━Oh, Dukes. Hehe, I will become a king. A powerful king. No one can ignore… Uh, mother… This son, uhhh…
Everyone was in a strange situation and was unable to rush in or run away.
I didn’t know what would happen if I left this monster like this, so it was a time when my sense of duty to defeat it and my biological instinct to run away ate each other and fought.
“Count de Winter!”
Someone appeared.
The girl had her shiny pink hair tied into pigtails.
Her skin is white and her cheeks are as red as a ripe peach.
She was a very beautiful woman, but her eyes glowed like the summer sun.
“… Count de Winter! The enemy of my father and my family!”
Nike Moke Moke.
Wild Rose.
Wild roses.
I stood proudly and roared in front of the winter of life.
“I am Nike Moke Moke, daughter of Wildrose! “Let the world hear my roar!!!”
