Chapter 245
Frost Queen (2) Illustrated
"charge."
A cynical girl's voice and the sound of stepping on the ground, not suitable for a snowy field, echo..
The sight of hundreds of armored knights charging at once reminded me of the European knights of the Middle Ages..
-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A wedge-shaped cavalry charge sweeps through the ice clans. Several giant entities attempted to stop their charge, but a barrage of artillery fire struck them in a parabolic arc..
-Kikluk! Look!
Pinpoint bombardment using the bombardment armor of Kikiruk warriors.
The firepower concentrated as directed by Yapi aboard the Marquis-class decisive battle weapon was the alien army itself sweeping away the barbarians holding stone axes..
-Captured many ice spirits. High-intensity fire support begins.
[I already know!]
The five dragons deployed to the Siberian snowfield responded to Yapi's integrated command communication..
Their mouths open and enormous energy is concentrated. Soon, the breath that split the snowy field poured out, and the additional troops that came to support melted like ice cream in midsummer..
"Phew~ We are ourselves too, but the firepower of dragons is really no joke.?"
Kim Jae-hyuk, who was wiping out an axis while pouring thunder and lightning onto the battlefield, also expressed his admiration for the dragons' breath fire..
"If you have time to admire, drop at least one more bolt of lightning. If lightning strikes the melted ground, it will hit you straight away.."
Soyeon examined the situation as she prepared for the knights' re-assault..
"Soyeon, why are you like this??"
"The speed of troop recruitment is slow.."
"this?"
The Frost Queen's descendants pouring into Siberia are truly inexhaustible..
As the snow accumulates, the magical power injected into it gives birth to ice spirits, yetis soar, and frozen ice soldiers pour out like a snow field spitting out snow..
"17Compared to the battle video from 2012, this is still a bit of a mess. The quality of the troops has improved... but above all, the 'frost giants' have not shown up.."
"What is a frost giant??"
So- yeon gives a pitiful look to Jae-hyuk, who casually asks. Are you saying that this guy, who is famously known as the leading knight of the pantheon, didn't even research past data?.
"Commander of the Queen's Corps. High-ranking knights. They are monsters whose fighting power is shorter than that of a queen.."
"There is a family stronger than Yeti.?"
Isn’t the Yeti alone a monster that can tear apart an S-class hunter? However, Jaehyuk was surprised that there was a monster stronger than him..
"'Cause it's one of the worst black grades."
Soyeon thought of the Wandering Demon Sword, saying it was not one of the three major disasters for nothing..
The wandering magic sword possessed by Akasha, the Great Duke of Slaughter, was evaluated as the strongest single entity, but the Frost Queen was called the strongest in a different sense..
"As long as the Holy Grail Knights are here, there is nothing to worry about.······."
Still, it was strange that the battlefield was pushed this far and not even a frost giant appeared. Has the Frost Queen been fully resurrected yet??
"Well, you'll find out what happens when you enter the ice castle.."
The tip of Jae-hyuk's spear is retracted as he tries to point it at the monsters in the snowy field..
A pillar of fire burning the snowfield and the melted ice water pouring down as waves..
It was a waste to invest more firepower here..
* * * *
The Siberian battlefield, which Russia had been blocking with all its might, was broken through with the deployment of the Holy Grail Knights and the Knights Templar..
There were still many monsters in the snowy field, but the dragons and Kikiruk warriors who occupied the ice castle fought against each other and blocked it, and the Holy Grail Knights and a small number of Russian hunters entered the ice castle..
-Base defense mode begins. The cockpit of this aircraft was moved to the Count class aircraft..
Yapi, who issued an automatic battle order to the Marquis-class decisive battle weapon, entered the lead with Koo Dae-seong..
"Many enemy troops inside!"
As the 1st Naju Knights led by Yapi, Koo Dae-seong, and Karina quickly entered the ice castle, ice soldiers rushed to stop the intruders..
-Kikluk! Fire suppression begins.
With only Koo Dae-seong's defensive maintenance ability and Yapi's fire support aboard the Count-class aircraft, the Queen's soldiers were swept away in an instant..
"It's an ice castle. It's charming."
In addition, there is an assistant to Karina, a veteran Holy Grail Knight..
Some pretty threatening monsters popped out in the middle, but they couldn't withstand Karina's blow..
"That was an ice spirit! It's also quite powerful!"
"I don't think this work is any different from regular soldiers.."
Indeed, the Holy Grail Knight. To them, it was meaningless to measure the units of power of regular monsters and A-class monsters..
There are as many as three Holy Grail Knights of superpower. The Naju Knights who followed were confident that this attack would be completed easily..
"It's strange too."
"huh? Junior Soyeon, why are you like this??"
In response to Ha-ri’s question, Cheon So-yeon frowned as if she was experiencing déjà vu..
"The frost giants are still nowhere to be seen. In fact, it would be the queen's last line of defense.······."
"Didn't it just fail to be created? If you come this far and see something you can't see."
Jaehyuk spoke as if it was no big deal, but Cheon Soyeon shook her head..
"Anyway, there has to be at least one. Frost giants are the first descendants born by the queen. In the first place, it is also a commanding entity that leads the subordinates.."
That means there are frost giants in this ice castle..
And even though you've been busy so far, you haven't shown up.······.
"You're protecting the queen by her side.."
Many top-level monsters that have not been discovered are next to the black-level boss, the Frost Queen..
"It is the Queen's Hall. Don't let down your guard and be aware of your surroundings.."
With Karina's advice, they were soon able to reach the Queen's Hall..
Unlike the ice castle stage, the interior gets darker as you go..
An ‘indestructible object’ that seems not to belong to this world, the ice castle even blocks external light..
The black darkness is reminiscent of a cave-type dungeon. Yapi's infrared and thermal cameras move forward, scanning the darkness. Reach the huge door in front of the Queen's Hall.
"I will open it."
Among them, Koo Dae-seong, who is the hardest and has the best regenerative ability, opened the door with his own hands, and Yapi threw something inside..
-Weeeeeee! phut!
It was a device that identified structures by shooting infrared radar in all directions..
Yapi explored the dark interior of the Queen's Hall and came up with an opinion..
-Check for vital reactions inside. Number of objects: two.
"Is it the queen??"
-Kikluk?
It was the moment when Yapi was trying to observe more detailed information..
-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa! puck!
Something is thrown from within. It was a fleeting moment, but Koo Dae-sung and Karina confirmed it..
""neck?""
The thick neck of the frozen giant was thrown like a baseball and crashed into a count-level war weapon..
-bang!
The count who was hit by it tilts. The war armament made of star iron lost its balance and fell..
"Sir Yappy!"
The attacker swung the mace straight at Gu Dae-seong, and Gu Dae-seong blocked it with his Earth Shield..
-Goong!
"uh?!"
Koo Dae-seong, who blocked it with his earth shield, felt something strange..
Shock felt beyond the shield. The total amount of force transferred to the arm is somewhat bizarre..
Just like when I blocked Leon's horse charge for the first time during Men at Arms..
"Koo Dae-seong!"
Even though Koo Dae-seong blocked the powerful blow with his shield, the mace bounced back in the same direction in which it was swung. A shocking force that the Holy Grail Knight could not withstand..
"this guy···!"
Karina's magic sword turned black and swung towards the enemy. Even with that absolutely cutting magic sword in front of her, her opponent instead advances, disrupts the timing of Karina's attack with her shoulder, and then stabs them straight in..
"Pfft···!"
Karina falls from the shock and throws herself to the side to avoid the mace. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Yappy aiming her machine gun..
-Doo doo doo doo···!
Yappy fire, firing thousands of machine cannon rounds per minute, struck his back..
-krr···!
Even though he had already been hit by dozens of shells, his reaction was to howl like a wild beast and to approach with great strides..
-······!?
The attacker approaches, silently withstanding even the most expensive star iron bullets. Yappy immediately opened up dozens of wires and engaged in close combat..
Tactical skill <Cheonnajimang>
After thorough calculation, sharp wires that can cut through anything are poured into a trajectory that is impossible to avoid..
It's literally like heaven. The attacker walked on his own as if laughing at the wires that wrapped around the attacker like a spider web..
<Skunic's tribe>
The moment his feet step on the floor, his entire body is engulfed in darkness and disappears like fog. Even Yapi, who was watching with a high-performance infrared camera, did not witness the moment she disappeared..
-······?!
The next moment, the wire net sweeps away, and an attacker appears in the place where the destructive holy method swept through..
The guy's ferocious arm stretched out with red energy, and at that moment, Yapi deployed his greatest defensive technique..
Tactical Mastery <Iron Protection>
Instant increase in defense. This ultimate defense boasts invincibility for a short period of time. but──
-Kwasik
A red hand viciously grabs the armor of the Count-class aircraft. The glove that was held in his grip was torn off..
"Nonsense···!?"
In an unbelievable moment, the gloves are torn off in the shape of a hand, revealing Yappy's true body in the exposed cockpit..
<Go'krok's Gaze>
Immediately, a damp energy flowed from his eyes in the darkness.──
-Kwaaah!
A green flash rains down on Yapi..
-emergency injection!
Yaphy activated the emergency ejection system with his gloves to avoid the green flash that poured into the cockpit. However, the attacker's arm caught Yapi, who had escaped the cockpit..
"fly."
With that assessment, the corner of the attacker's mouth twitches. At the moment of desperation, Karina appeared from behind..
"Let go of that mean hand.!"
A perfect surprise attack. The absolute cutting magic sword cut the guy's back, but that was all. The armor with unimaginable defensive power resisted the cutting power of the magic sword, and additional attacks were blocked by Yaphy thrown at Karina..
"Pfft···!"
While Karina, who caught Yappy, was pushed back, the attacker's mace tried to hit her..
"Take a hit."
"······?!"
The end of Karina's gaze. Enormous power is concentrated in the ‘hammer’.
"Hmm···!"
Koo Dae-seong concentrated his mad power on Geobrick's hammer and struck it down. Boom! It is so powerful that the ice castle shakes with a dizzying sound. None of those who took a direct hit from this attack survived.!
"Phew······."
The moment Koo Dae-seong sighs in relief, confident of victory, the shoulder where he struck the hammer is caught..
Koo Dae-seong's face contorted in astonishment when he realized that it was the attacker he had just struck down..
'Even after being hit by this, I’m fine.?!'
If it hit the ground, it would be a blow that would change the terrain. But not only did he persevere calmly,──
-Quaaaaa!!
The mace slowly rises. As an eerie red wave poured out from the mace, Koo Dae-seong's face grew darker..
"wow, what kind of power···!"
Sensing a crisis, I tried to escape from the guy's grasp, but the guy blocked Gu Dae-seong with one arm and immediately struck him with his mace..
-Goong!
Even if I instinctively blocked it with the Earth Shield, it bounced back with the shield without any sense. The dented star-steel helmet is rolling around unsightly..
"Get into formation!"
The knights formed a formation as if to protect Koo Dae-seong, who was thrown away after being hit with a mace..
They formed an almost instinctive formation as they had been trained, but each of them had a pale expression on their face, as if they couldn't believe it..
'Oh, the Holy Grail Knights······.'
'I was harmed by only one person?'
But there was no time for them to panic. The mace that struck Koo Dae-seong lightly was lifted this time, concentrating its destructive power..
"stomach, danger?!"
Suho deployed his shield almost instinctively. Holy Grail Knight Amalek's Holy Relic of Light. At the same time as deploying that absolute defense──
<Helkan's Big Hand>
A red wave so fierce that it stops even breathing. The red meteor makes everyone's stomach tingle..
Mace's overbearing charisma and desperate energy overwhelm the knights and hunters and erode them with fear..
That monster had a power that surpassed even the protection of the Holy Grail Knights..
-Wow!!
The wave emitted from the mace hitting the floor collapsed the ice castle, crushing the entire area..
──────!!!!!
The place where the sound disappeared.
Everyone is astonished in front of the terrible destruction that occurred in a single blow..
Even this much power was just a 'test' wielded lightly by that attacker..
"Holy Grail Knight. I had some expectations, but I was extremely disappointed.."
In the black darkness of the hall. The red energy illuminated by the mace reveals the attacker's face..
"Run away, you tin cans. tell your king."
Your nemesis has arrived.
oak.
It had the face of a ferocious beast..
oak rough
