How to Survive as a Player Chapter 201

#201

“… “Could you please tell His Highness the Crown Prince to give us a little more time?”

“Prepare for Mugu’s stoning! Everyone, move quickly!”

The driver gave instructions to the surrounding soldiers without even pretending to listen to Sehyeon. Those who were sitting down with faces that looked like they were going to cry also belatedly got up, wiping away the rainwater miserably at those words. Among them was a wizard.

“This is an internal thing. Mercenaries are left out.”

This was what the knight, with his nose twisted fiercely, said as he passed by Sehyeon. He walked over to where the weapon was, grabbed the muddy cloth that covered it, and roughly pulled it down.

Sigh!

Where the cloth was lifted, there was a huge, tall harpoon. Seeing it up close, its majesty itself was extraordinary. I could feel the swirling, rough magic moving around the ivory surface of the harpoon. Just looking at it was an energy that gave me chills.

It seems that Se-hyeon wasn’t the only one who felt this way, so everyone took a step back, looking at a halt. When the knight saw this, he shouted until his eyes turned red.

Thump thump thump-!

The sound of something coming in droves came up through the ground. Soon, the cries of monsters began to echo throughout the ground.

“!”

Sehyeon’s surprised eyes looked straight beyond the castle wall. Over Ruhak’s shoulder, who was tightly blocking Sehyeon’s path, he could see monsters approaching like a tidal wave. Everyone was running toward Mugu with their eyes peeled and screaming like zombies that had found their prey.

Kueeeeek-!

The sky was no different. Hundreds of flying monsters were circling in the sky with harpoons, ready to snatch their prey.

“Pen, call Euncheong.”

Instead of responding to Ruhak’s words, Fen put his hand in his mouth and whistled long. The beeping sound pierced the sound of the rain and echoed far away. Soon after, something started cutting down the monsters at high speed and approaching the castle wall.

Kwasik-!

Just when I thought I saw a flash of light among the crowd of monsters, a black shadow flew out from under the castle wall, made a trajectory, and landed stably in front of everyone. He was Euncheong with sticky blood all over his body.

At the same time that Euncheong stood up, shaking off the blood from his sword, Ruhak’s command fell low.

“From now on, protect the king and the weapon with your life.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

The earthquake that had been pounding had suddenly turned into the sound of the castle walls crashing. The monsters that came in like a tidal wave began climbing the wall all at once.

“I will handle the above.”

Ruhak’s gaze turned to the flying monsters circling in the sky. A strange crunching sound came from behind Ruhak.

Immediately after, the clothes behind his back began to bulge, and something tore his clothes in a bizarre shape and came out. It was a pitch black and huge wing.

The moment Ruhak’s toes hit the ground, his black wings flew up as fast as he could. I was almost swayed by the waves of cold air. Before Se-hyeon could calm himself, a huge explosion occurred in the air.

Kwaaang-!!

Seeing the corpse of the monster falling from the air, Sehyeon quickly drew his bow and prepared to attack. The sound of climbing the castle wall had already arrived right in front of us.

“Rod, please stay back.”

“Don’t worry about me, both of you, take care.”

Euncheong and Pen’s hands holding the sword were seen to be filled with strength. Sehyeon gritted his teeth and waited. And when monsters swarming like bees appeared before his eyes, he fired his arrow without delay.

Taang-!

It was a bloody struggle. The fortress fell in an instant due to the constant influx of monsters.

Every time he saw soldiers dying helplessly, Sehyeon had to chew his molars. He never even thought about saving her. Before they could even load arrows, the soldiers were swept away and trampled to death by the hands and feet of the monster.

Se-hyeon would have been in the same situation if it weren’t for Euncheong and Pen.

“Huh, huh… .”

Water, whether rainwater or sweat, was dripping down my chin. Se-hyeon, who was gasping for air due to his sense of helplessness, lost strength midway and collapsed from where he was standing.

“Hey! Mercenary, buy me, save me! There’s a monster… !”

A wizard covered in tears came to Sehyun’s side and begged for his life, holding on to Sehyun’s pants. A few steps behind the wizard, there was a body whose head had been chewed off by a monster. He was the soldier who had been with the wizard just a moment ago.

Sehyun moved her trembling hands and took out a potion from her inventory, drank it, and stood up again. In front and behind Sehyeon, Euncheong and Pen were cutting down the monsters pouring in with their backs turned.

Despite this, the number of swarming monsters did not decrease. At his son-in-law he was constantly pushed, trampling and crushing everything his hands and feet could reach.

It was a situation where there was no telling when it would end. Or, it was a situation where I didn’t know how long I could endure.

Sehyeon swallowed the taste of metal in his throat and put the arrow on his bow again.

Cooung- Cooung-

And then I looked up and followed the scary sound. In front of me when I looked up was the head of a monster several times larger than the others, sticking out from the castle wall. The screams of the dying monsters below could be heard, as if they were trying to trample on another monster. It was a monster so big that I couldn’t even think of dealing with it.

After an angry struggle, the giant monster succeeded in trampling the other monsters and climbing up the castle wall. Then, with his eyes glazed over, he rushed towards Mugu. His movements were surprisingly fast considering his enormous size.

The outstretched hand was large enough to crush the weapon.

Sehyeon let out a nervous breath and pulled the bowstring tight. Then he aimed his bow at the monster’s ankle. I hope that I can end everything with this one shot.

‘<Purification’s Fall LV.8>’

The moment light appeared on the bow tip, the arrow was shot at a frightening speed. And then it hit the monster’s heel and exploded with an explosion.

Sigh!!

The monster grabbed my heel and let out a terrible scream. However, he soon put his life into action and glared viciously at Se-hyeon. His red eyes were like dripping blood. Even though <fear blocking> was working, his harsh energy made my fingertips tremble.

The monster’s form disappeared on the spot in the blink of an eye. The monster reappeared right in front of Sehyeon. His hand, which was stretched out wildly as if trying to grab and crush it, was aimed at Sehyun’s head.

Wedge-

However, along the way, the monster’s hand was cut by a sword with a flash of light, and a fountain of blood spewed out. The monster screamed again and grabbed my arm, struggling against it. The person who cut off the monster’s arm was Euncheong, who was holding a sword with his back showing.

Sehyeon slowly stepped back, barely shaking her shoulders that were stiff with fear. His stomach churned. His fingertips holding his bow stiffened and did not move. As he exhaled, a chill came over him.

As I was taking a deep breath, I heard an alien sound coming from somewhere in my mind. It was a shout like an auditory hallucination. As if the sound was amplifying, it quickly engulfed the surroundings. All the sounds overlapped to the point that my eyes became dizzy. The screams of monsters, the shouts of people, and even the pouring rain.

The moment I realized that the shout was not an auditory hallucination was when a black shadow passed in front of Euncheong. No, it was when the giant wolf passed by, snatching the monster’s head and biting off his severed arm.

“Mr. Sehyeon!”

And Sehyeon’s shoulder was strongly grabbed by someone’s hand. Surprised by the familiar voice, I looked to see a man whose eyes were so condensed that they gave off a creepy aura.

A person with blue skin that appears submerged in water, with its ferocity expressed in the rain.

It was Kwak Jeong-han.

“Sehyun, are you okay?!”

Kwak Jeong-han was holding Se-hyeon’s shoulder tightly and asking with an impatient face. Behind Huo Jeong-han, thousands of troops were charging towards the monsters with swords in hand. It was like a scene of swirling waves.

Waaaaaa-!!

Inside, there was Oul, who had become gigantic and shook the earth, Lakwin, who was swinging his ax fiercely, and Basil, who had turned into a ferocious figure. Everyone slaughtered the terrifyingly charging monsters and recaptured the occupied fortress.

“I’m sorry, Sehyun. “We are very late.”

It was only when I saw Kwak Jeong-han’s honest appearance, lowering his head as if reflecting, that I realized that they were right in front of me. Sehyun blinked with a blank expression and then smiled weakly.

“If you know… That’s it.”

The problem was the wolf next to me, holding a giant monster in its mouth and shaking it wildly. As far as Se-hyeon knew, the wolf that was viciously biting at the monster was Lee Jae-young.

The wolf had been shaking the monster for a long time, but as soon as the monster’s body went limp, it opened its mouth wide and began swallowing it loudly.

Seeing this, Sehyun’s shoulders became stiff.

“re… Jaeyoung. “You can’t eat that.”

At those words, the wolf that had been swallowing the monster stiffened in shock and began spitting out the monster’s body. After screaming down the castle wall, the giant wolf rushed towards where Sehyeon was.

And immediately it took on a human shape and came close to me. Rolling your eyes here and there as if you were anxious.

“Tongue, bro… . I didn’t mean to eat that. No, I thought about it for a bit, but I tried to spit it out again. Really. Brother, you’re not shocked, are you? “When I was human, I wouldn’t eat things like that.”

Instead of answering many questions, Sehyun stroked Lee Jaeyoung’s rain-soaked hair.
