rune stone.
It's such a rare item that if you pick up a couple of them while clearing the campaign, you'll be considered to have picked up a lot. It can only be seen occasionally in Expedition, a high-level content after the campaign, or dimensional travel..
To put it simply, a runestone is a higher version of a magic scroll. It is a disposable consumable with powerful spells or powers that are not included in the scroll..
Aside from being powerful, the effect was equally useful. So I also used it to my advantage..
For example,
Enter the server where low-level users are playing and destroy the terrain with the rune stone ‘Great Earthquake’.
Break the runestone ‘Wisdom of Cadmus’ in front of the undead unit carefully created by the necromancer user to cause the summoned creatures to annihilate each other..
If you run out of unique equipment during a party hunt, use the rune stone 'Eunuch's Eyes' before your companions can pick it up, converting all items dropped on the server into a handful of gold coins, etc..
I personally liked it very much because it is a consumable that is essential for enjoyable play..
The rune stone 'Hell Gate of Flame' was also an item that was used in a similar way to the one listed above, and when I got it with luck, I was happier than when I got any unique equipment..
I mean, it was like that when I was playing the game..
“Uh oh one”
As the runestone 'Flame Gate of Hell' was shattered in the hands of the berserker, a new voice broke out without my knowledge..
“This crazy, stupid thing!”
No matter what I said, the berserker just chuckled while shaking off the stone debris. Judging from the way his shoulders were shaking, he seemed to be laughing quite excitedly, but his voice was not heard..
Because the gates of hell were opening.
Geek-
As the terrible magic flowing from the rune stone seeped into the floor, the ground cracked with a sharp noise as if an iron plate was being torn apart..
“Power alert! ready for battle-!”
Before we knew it, Baron Innomen, wearing a deer antler helmet, was shouting at the top of his voice. And then he suddenly lunged at the berserker and swung his long sword..
“take the order!”
The sword light that caught the torch flashed red. Befitting his reputation as the king's standard-bearer, the thrust was so fast and precise that an ordinary person could not even react..
“oh.”
The berserker rotated in place with a smiling face showing his fangs..
profit.
Baron Inomen's sword strike, like a red arrow, grazed her shoulder. The cloak fell to pieces, revealing the silver-grey plate armor full of scratches..
“Kin zarran.”
The berserker shouted something and grabbed the wrist that held the long sword out with his left hand. Although that agile counterattack was understandably disconcerting, Baron Innomen tilted his head back without hesitation..
“Ugh!”
bang!
It was a powerful headbutt with a full helmet equipped with deer antlers..
“......“Hmm,” the berserker licked his lips with his bright red tongue as blood flowed through his hair..
“good.”
At the same time, the scarred forehead and full helm exploded. This time it was a headbutt from a berserker..
“Wow,”
Baron Innomen quickly tried to back away, but the berserker laughed and squeezed the baron's wrist. A large hand snapped out, instantly crumpling the plate vambraces. Blood seeped out through the torn sheet metal and a desperate scream followed..
““Kwaaaaah!” Before the scream ended, another headbutt hit the full helm. The hard iron that had gone through heat treatment was instantly dented..
“O-QT O -----, -----------
Even while Baron Innomen was unconscious, he pulled a dagger from his waist and aimed it at the berserker's armpit. It was a fairly sharp counterattack, but the berserker simply knocked the Baron down by tapping his ankle as if sweeping the floor..
“Baron!”
“Save your lord!”
The soldiers, amazed at the sight of the Baron falling asleep, rushed at the berserker. Of course, it was Baron Innomen's knights who rushed to the forefront..
“He is a dangerous barbarian.!”
“surround!”
Fortunately, among the Baron's knights, there were no idiots who talked about chivalry or honor and were reluctant to attack together. They displayed a cowardly but confident offensive, befitting a powerful opponent who overpowered the king's standard-bearer with his bare hands..
The first and second knights tore open the magic scroll. Six or seven pure white stick-like things poured out of the scroll that the leading knight tore. The second knight sprayed out sticky maroon magic..
“Gua'ekel,”
The berserker frowned and quickly pulled out two long swords from his back. The long sword held in his right hand had a black and silver blade, and the other side was white. A pair of swords that exudes an unusual elegance even at first glance..
‘They were ‘black ice’ and ‘morning star’..
As the two unique longswords flashed black and white, all the white rods and 'magic arrows' that were pointed at the berserker's face were broken..
However, no matter how sharp the sword was, it could not shake off the oncoming smoke..
The maroon magic power that came from the second knight's scroll immediately embraced the berserker. It was a ‘slow down’ order..
“Ah, fidhos-”
Baron Inomen's five or six knights and the soldiers following her rushed at her as she spat and cursed. The berserker growled fiercely despite the power of the spell weighing on his shoulders and swung his sword against the knights..
I felt like if I got involved in that fight, I could at least give the berserker a stab, but I didn't do that..
The fiery hell gate, or rather the portal to the flame world, which was expanding its territory with a sharp clanging sound from the floor, grew to a diameter of 7 or 8 meters and began to radiate heat..
Whoosh.
The midwinter sunset that colored the world had long since receded, but the black night sky was becoming bright again. This is because the portal opened its mouth and poured out red light..
Of course, no one saw that light and thought of a hopeful morning or a heartbreaking evening. The only thing that came to mind when smelling the acrid smell of sulfur and the strong smell of iron was hell, and that association was true..
“……By last name. Let's go to the castle!”
I looked back at the mercenaries and shouted loudly..
“Mira, take care of Ellen! Call, Confire! Pick up the injured!”
“yep!”
“Steedman, you take the lead!” While the mercenaries were quickly preparing to move, Baron Shaenna, who was taken aback by the sudden situation, soon came to his senses and began giving orders to his subordinates..
“Sir Eadryge, help Baron Inomen's knights capture the barbarian! New bet! bring the priests!”
“Yes, Baron.!”
Then she put on the reins and turned to look at me. Cold eyes shined clearly in the exquisite light shining through the narrow gap between the faceplates..
““Like Arnesso’s seagull.” Arnetso's Seagull? What are you talking about??
“I don't plan on leaving it like this.?”
Baron Shaenna said and raised his sword..
whip!
Then, my subordinate mercenaries, who were trying to squeeze through the alley, were blocked by the spear blades of the soldiers who had turned the corner..
“what is this-”
“Instead of shamelessly running away, help resolve the situation here.!”
“••••••yes?”
“This is an order from the person in charge of security in Modos and a warning as the king's representative. If you dare to disobey it, it will be considered treason.!”
At the moment I was wondering if I should just kill it. The flame world's portal, which opened its mouth wide, has now started spewing out blazing fireballs, not just red-hot lights..
“It's a monster-”
“attack! attack!”
According to a soldier's suppressed moans, what the dimensional gate was spewing out one after another was not fireballs, but monsters.!
‘Brimstone Fire Wolf’ filled with flames’.
A flaming 'fire spirit' that looks like a mixture of a lizard and a bird.’.
A 'hellhound' that looks more like a hyena than a dog, is about twice the size of an ox, and has red skin.’.
A 'flame demon' who has three horns, a forked tongue like a snake, a torn jaw, and wields a huge sword with his entire body covered in flames.’…….
Like a dog running out of a flooded cave, all kinds of monsters poured out through the portal. Even the elite soldiers led by the king's standard-bearer took a step back in shock at that terrifying and mysterious sight..
It was then.
“cover and spread-!”
A heavy voice rang out as if amplified by a power amplifier..
I followed the voice and turned my head to see an elderly man standing on a guard tower on the other side of the street, reciting a mantra with an open thick book..
““Shadow with a secret!” A loud sound as if hundreds of folded linen cloths were touching each other. At the wizard's fingertips, the shadow split into dozens of pieces, each growing in size..
The shadows, which were fluttering in the air like cloaks fluttering by themselves, were soon released like wild birds by the magician's touch and rushed towards the portal all at once..
“S6n bat, gerreck suwat!”
As a fire demon shouted in a strange voice, fifteen sulfur fire wolves and several fire spirits poured flames towards the 'army of shadows'..
Grrrr-!
The flames emitted by the monsters gathered in the middle and spread out like the breath of a dragon. Just before the shadow army engulfed in flames disintegrated, white smoke blew in from somewhere on the wind..
No, it wasn't smoke..
It was dozens of frost butterflies with bodies made of ice and the ‘cold cloud’ they embraced..
Somewhere, another wizard was hiding and casting a spell..
“oh……
The cold cloud dispersed, suppressing the flames emitted by the monsters. Water mist flew, and a scarlet rainbow appeared in the hellish light emitted by the portal..
Afterwards, a swarm of frost butterflies and an army of shadows fell towards the monsters of the salt world like moths. It felt like white, blue, and black colored paper being scattered over a bonfire..
However, instead of disintegrating, leaving behind only sparks and ashes, the colored paper persistently attacked the monsters. Extinguished the raging flames, biting off the neck and gnawing at the limbs..
“Now is the time, shoot!”
At the shout of a knight, arrows rained down among the soldiers. A rain of arrows fired from longbows and crossbows caused dozens of monsters to tumble back down the portal..
“Wow-/”
“light is with us!”
As the terrible monsters were defeated by spells and shots, the soldiers who regained their morale let out loud cries..
By the time the barrage of arrows continued a few more times. There was a crashing sound behind the soldiers, and four or five heavy cavalrymen appeared, dragging the priests with them..
“Bless the soldiers, now!”
The priests, who seemed to have been dragged away from a peaceful evening by Baron Shaenna's sharp shout, gathered together with distraught faces..
Ugh!
Five priests, led by an old priest, formed a circle and recited a prayer. Soon a flash of white light erupted, and the light spread to the weapons of the surrounding soldiers and knights..
“oh oh!”
“Light is truly with us!”
‘When the 'weapon construction' was completed, the knight directing the shooting shouted, swinging a white-glowing iron mace..
“It's time to throw them back into the jaws of hell.!”
“Wow-!”
The soldiers were foaming at the mouth and shouting slogans like cultists..
“Good luck to me, glory to you!”
“Lord, everything-!”
In front of an army that seemed ready to explode at any moment, Baron Shaenna gave an order..
“power assault!”
Before the 'E:' character for charge was even uttered, the soldiers rushed towards the monsters all at once. Although they were all heavily armed with chain armor lined with iron plates and heavy helmets, their running was as powerful and fast as that of an athlete..
“Khh.”
A fire demon threw the corpse of a brimstone wolf he was holding as a shield and lashed out with his forked tongue. Then he adjusted his sword and charged at the charging soldiers..
“Bhlam, k6de bhlam zganna~!”
The great sword swung with a bizarre shout instantly split the body of the soldier who was charging at the front. The comrades who were running ahead scattered to the left and right, spewing out black smoke instead of a fountain of blood, but not a single soldier slowed down their charge..
“kill it!”
The soldiers attacked one after another and drove their spears into the flame demon. The spear blade, imbued with divine power thanks to the consecration of the priests, easily split the leather forged with hellfire..
“Quack-”
The devil, whose face was contorted in pain, turned himself into flame and attacked the soldiers..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
“Hey, you fucking bastard.-!”
The soldiers who had driven their spears into the devil let out horrifying screams as intense flames engulfed their entire bodies..
Grumbling.
Soon, the fiery demon, now in the flesh again, swung his great sword to finish off the soldiers, and the soldiers engulfed in flames threw away their shields and attacked the demon..
“Ugh, give it all to the Lord!”
“Please come here!”
Even as the heated helmet pressed down on their heads, the burning gloves melting their fingerprints, and the lining and skin beneath their chainmail clinging to each other, the soldiers continued to chant slogans..
The flame demon struggled like a wild boar surrounded by a pack of mad dogs and swallowed the sword deep in its throat. The flame demon struggled and spewed out flames. A nameless soldier cut into the devil's body with a blade imbued with divine brilliance even as his hands and arms melted..
“Wow-!”
While the flame demon was letting out a silent scream, a knight ran up and cut off the demon's head with a shining axe. The soldier's arm, which had been holding the sword until the end, was also cut off and he rolled around on the ground, charred black..
When the flame demon died, half of the soldiers engulfed in flames fell to the ground, and the rest rushed toward the other demons, letting out a scream that was almost like a scream..
Similar scenes unfolded everywhere..
……There are no such crazy people..
I felt embarrassed for a moment and kept my mouth shut..
