Episode 678. The Returnees’ War (3)
Kaka kaka kang!
Kaaaaang!
As Wolyoung and Teresa engage in a defensive battle, Ellis approaches.
Considering several variables and their respective characteristics, the most interesting and salty results were derived.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth slightly rose.
good.
All conditions are met.
All that remains is proper directing.
Jinhyuk quickly rolled his head to check the timing.
Right then.
[Wolyeong activates ‘Shadow Slaughter’!]
The shadow moving at high speed caught Teresa off guard. Teresa, a corrupted version of herself with a switched personality, realized that her reactions were about 0.1 seconds slower when she was performing minute control.
A murderous glint flashed through Wolyoung’s sharp eyes.
Even if it doesn’t kill you.
At the very least, he intends to take away at least one limb of the one who targeted his lord.
“Tch.”
Teresa clicked her tongue and gathered black energy.
But it’s too late.
The sword will first dig into the joints between the armors. Teresa took a stabbing stance half a beat later.
It was a blow that contained the intention to make the opponent bleed even if he was attacked first.
Boooow!
The shortest straight course. A flash of light with acceleration added to acceleration crossed it.
Right then.
Phew! Phew!
Jinhyuk intervened.
A blade that digs deep into the flesh.
From both sides, swords pierced Jinhyeok’s body and came out on the other side.
Even before the flowing drops of blood reached the ground, a tremendous shock shook everyone’s minds.
“My lord…?”
“you…?”
An earthquake occurred in Wolyoung and Teresa’s eyes.
Those who have reached a certain level of skill tend to assume various variables and situations during battle, but they did not take into account the possibility that Jinhyeok would act in this way.
A gap of about 1 second.
What was the intention behind this? What should I do now? What would happen in the future? Everything was full of questions.
In the meantime… .
What Jinhyuk did was neither attack nor defense, nor excuse, nor threat, nor persuasion.
Hug.
Jinhyuk hugged Teresa,
And then he whispered softly in my ear.
“are you okay.”
It’s no one’s fault.
So don’t blame yourself.
He just smiled brightly.
Gulp… .
Black tears flowed from Teresa’s eyes.
[The personality within the fallen saint reacts.]
The warm and gentle saint who was trapped deep in her consciousness, Teresa, who saved Amsterdam and valued others more than herself, has awakened.
The red eyes that had once been darkened are no longer there.
Clear and pure emerald eyes gazed gently at Jinhyuk.
Her small lips opened slightly and the sincerity contained within spilled out.
“…thank you.”
For not giving up. And for taking risks for yourself.
Likewise, Teresa, who was hugging Jinhyeok tightly, closed her eyes and savored this precious moment over and over again.
From the first time we met until now. Thinking about how happy I was because you were by my side.
“What, this isn’t fun.”
Teresa, her personality mixed up once again and her degenerate self, let out an irritated remark.
He realized that his time was up.
And of course.
Kukukukukukuku!
Ataraxia’s Jinjo, who was watching all of this, could not help but be furious.
An ominous magical power began to spread out through the sky and out of the stairs.
Tingle tingle!
It was a murderous spirit so vicious that it made even the returning soldiers who had been flying and crawling take a step back.
“W-what are you doing right now!”
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A huge explosion of blood followed.

Things have changed a bit with Teresa’s return and Ellis’s anger. Ellis’s rampage had left gaps here and there.
‘It was worth the effort. I almost died from staring… Oh, look at the goosebumps. How on earth do actors who film romance movies manage to recite such cheesy lines so smoothly?’
Jinhyuk’s whole body trembled as he treated the wound.
It was a great achievement to be able to control corruption to some extent, and it was also an achievement that could not be ignored to be able to raise Teresa’s trust to the maximum.
Afterwards, appeasing Ellis remained a major task, but it was a minor one considering what was gained.
‘Dealing with Bingo was a pretty big deal.’
It would be a painful loss for the enemies if the Sealed Returner, one of the few means of stopping Ellis, fell so early in the battle.
Kwaaang!
Kaka kaka kang!
Teresa, who was now standing next to Cheon Yoo-seong, also showed off her powerful power against Degoria Balrog.
“Koooo!”
Degoria Balrog wielded four weapons simultaneously.
But unlike before, he was unable to absorb Teresa’s divine power.
Awakening.
Teresa overcame extreme circumstances and broke through the wall. As a result, she gained the power to neutralize even the special abilities of the highest level demons.
“It turns out that all my hard work alone wasn’t in vain.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Yoo-seong. Because of me…”
“That’s a compliment. Don’t worry about it and don’t make any mistakes from now on.”
“yes!”
The synergy between Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa, who have been continuously breathing together, has now reached a level that is not inferior to that of any other resident or deity.
This is the moment when the strongest paddles I had imagined in my head started to play their roles one by one.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned elsewhere.
Although traumatized by the fact that she stabbed her lord, Wol-young also grew into a strong bodyguard who played a role in the shadows.
Aside from Goguma, one of the strongest ancient species, and Fried and Malrang Black Crane who follow him, the rest of the spirit beasts were also strong forces.
T-Bone, who was wasting time with Clemente in the Tiny Skeleton Soldiers, and Frey, the perfect homunculus coveted even by the gods, were now indispensable.
… … It’s a new feeling.
Colleagues scattered throughout the tower’s various levels.
It warmed my heart to know that now, instead of alone, everyone was working together to climb to the top of the tower.
Even though there were new variables and stronger enemies than before, including that man, I still thought that I could somehow get through it with them.
Right then.
A sharp glint flashed through Jinhyeok’s eyes.
Although it was a small route, a route to Clemence had been secured. The long-awaited moment had finally arrived.
Now is the time…!
Jinhyuk gave a signal to the special forces unit in the distance.
Woohoo!
A bright flash of light whitened the sky.
“The magical interference has weakened.”
“I have to succeed at first.”
“Goes.”
Led by the Spirit Kings, the fairies and spirit beasts prepared for battle and concentrated their magical powers simultaneously.
[Special space movement ‘White Rabbit Hole’ is activated!]
The mounds of dirt caved in and much of the magic power disappeared.
Those who had been waiting for an opportunity moved to successfully carry out a surprise attack.
Timing that takes advantage of the confusion.
The power prepared was also sufficient.
but.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!
What the spirit king and the spirits who cast large-scale teleportation faced was a terrible trap.
Angelis, who had figured out Jinhyuk’s plan in advance, designed the perfect pit to commit mass slaughter.
“…what…?”
“Eww!”
“Gyaaaah!”
Before I could even perceive reality, the mines placed on the ground exploded all at once.
At the same time, huge battleships appeared in the sky, turning transparent and firing plasma beam cannons.
“Checkmate.”
Angelis applauded and shouted bravo.
Although the Spirit Kings were a beat late in using their shields and various defensive skills, they had already suffered damage that was difficult to describe in words.
Above all, once the existence of the special forces was discovered, the advantage of surprise was virtually gone.
[Angelis activates her unique skill, ‘Galaxy Admiral’!]
[Invisible mode is disabled.]
A huge number of ships appeared across the sky.
No, it wasn’t just the ships that were summoned, but the planets of the territory that Angelis had called home were also summoned.
The emperor who ruled the galaxy.
Returnees specializing in grand battles have joined the war in earnest.
“what…!?”
Jinhyuk took a deep breath.
It’s only natural to be bewildered when what you thought was a turning point is discovered.
Not only had he prevented the surprise attack, he had also completed the counterattack that followed.
The fleet of Angelis, perfectly formed in a siege formation, was suffocating them. As if they already knew that this side was specialized in barriers, they toyed with the range of the barriers that were spread out in layers.
“master!”
“Uh, what should I do?”
“Mosquitoes!”
The sweet potatoes and spirits that were dragged in together screamed.
We need to make decisions and respond quickly.
If I made even one mistake, I could lose everything.
***
“So, what do you plan to do now?”
Angelis gave a childish look.
For him, a single battlefield like this is too easy.
There was no need to worry about the most difficult areas such as supply or rear, so all that had to be done was to cover the areas that were clearly visible.
It’s so simple that one mistake could decide the outcome of the battle.
I was incredibly curious and excited to see how the famous Kang Jin-hyeok would get out of this situation.
Woohoo!
The plasma cannons on each fleet emitted a rainbow of colors.
The fleet of Angelis can erase even the existence of a target.
“I’ve taken care of most of the bugs, so the rest should be easy. Even if that thing flies and is long, what can I do in this situation?”
Clemence was already confident of victory.
Now all that’s left is to slowly kill them off using indiscriminate bombardment and their own military.
Of course, the spirit kings tried to minimize the damage by evacuating the surviving spirits and fairies, but they could not escape the encirclement of Angelis, who had blocked all escape routes in advance.
[The special ability of the star ‘Jupiter’ is unlocked!]
[You can summon small meteor showers within a 1km radius of Jupiter.]
[The special ability of the star ‘Uranus’ is unlocked!]
[As long as the light of Uranus does not go out, the ships’ power source will last forever.]
With the special abilities of each star added, the already difficult battle situation became even more difficult.
The undead forces, which had gained momentum, also increasingly pressured Ellis and Frey.
“… … .”
Jinhyuk, who was far away, looked straight into Angelis’ eyes.
To be honest, I got really hit hard.
Putting aside the fact that he was a little less focused on surprise attacks because he was so concerned about Teresa and Ellis, the moves Angelis had prepared for victory were fierce and perfect.
“I was planning to use this a little later, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
A hidden card prepared for returnees.
[Summon the returnee ‘Medrey’!]
Finally, the card that had been saved was taken out.
Fantasy, games,
