Chapter 244: Balrogs Joined Kyrad

“Chains of Poison! What?”

Soo Hyuk cast poison chains on the magic Balrogs who were trying to get out of the poison’s visible range while asking Yeon Jeung.

“Did you check the contribution increase?”

At Yeon Jeung words, Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but be surprised.

“What? Contribution?”

They killed the Balrogs, not Demons. But why does the contribution rate go up?

‘No way…’

With a sudden thought, Soo Hyuk looked at the Balrogs.

‘Have they formed an alliance with the Kyrad faction?’

It seemed that the Balrogs had formed an alliance with the Kyrad faction. Otherwise, there is no reason for the contribution to rise.

If they have formed an alliance there, it makes sense that there are also Balrogs here.

Soo Hyuk looked up at the Balrog skeletons that fell in the chains of poison, then looked up.

The only remaining Balrogs were Raymond and Loska.

‘How much has the contribution increased?’

He wanted to check by opening the quest window right away.

However, the quest window could not be opened because of Raymond and Loska.
While opening the quest window, it was clear that they would rush in.

– It seems difficult to kill him with one squad.

Just then, Loska said.

– I told you. He is strong
-Wow, I didn’t know he would kill my teammates so easily.
-Is it not possible?
– Heh, what do you see me as?

During the conversation between Raymond and Loska, Soo Hyuk quickly opened the quest window.

It didn’t look like they were going to run right away. So, he opened the quest window, and confirmed the quest ‘The capture of Alin’.

{The Fall of Alin}
The war has begun.
Defeat the Demons of the Kyrad faction and capture the Alin Castle!
[Contribution degree: 97,412,797 / ???]
Quest reward: ???

‘97.4 million?’

Soo Hyuk was surprised after confirming his contribution.

‘How many did I kill?’

The number of Balrogs caught was not that many However, his contribution has greatly increased. It was probably because each Balrog was much stronger than the High-Class Demons.

Soo Hyuk looked up to check Raymond and Loska, who were still talking.

‘If I kill those two…’

How much will Advanced Balrogs Raymond and Loska give?

‘I might reach 100 million?’

It seemed possible to increase the contribution of the remaining 2.6 million by killing them both.
Soo Hyuk chuckled and shouted at Raymond and Loska.

“Wind Cutter!”

*Swoosh*

A blade of wind appeared and flew towards them. But it vanished before it even arrived.

‘Sigh.’

As expected, since it was not a Hellfire they would not fall for it.

‘How long can they do it?’

They will not be able to continue dispelling.

‘But what if they run away?’

Didn’t Raymond already have a history of running away?

“Yeon Jeung, can you bring them down?”

Soo Hyuk asked.

“To the ground?”

“Yea.”

“Sure. It’s only possible for 2 minutes. Shall I do it?”

In addition to being dragged down to the ground, it was also possible to keep them from leaving a certain area for 2 minutes.

“Go ahead.”

“OK.”

Yeon Jeung lifted the shield stuck in the ground at Soo Hyuk’s words.

“The mighty shield!”

Then he cast the skill ‘Mighty Shield’.

*Woosh*

This time purple light stood on the shield, and Yeon Jeung put the shield on the ground again.

[You cannot use movement skills.]
[You cannot leave the area for 2 minutes.]

Then a message started appearing as a semicircle spread from the shield.

– Ahh!
– Whoa!

A message appeared and Raymond and Loska quickly fell to the ground.
Soo Hyuk quickly cast a spell where they would fall.

“Poison fog.”

It was Poison Fog.

*Swish*

A poison fog appeared, and Soo Hyuk quickly cast a spell before Loska could dispel it.

“Firewall.”

A fire wall appeared and soon fused with the poison fog, causing an explosion.

“Aghhh!”

Raymond screamed painfully while Loska quickly cast a shield that became full of cracks.

‘Haresium’s protective shield?’

Balrog Haresium, who invented the first energy magic.

Haresium ‘s shield was weak against physical attacks, but it was a very strong shield against magic attacks.
That protective shield was cracked

‘It’s a lot of magic.’

Loska thought.

‘No matter what, I have to absorb it.’

At first, she was thinking of absorbing it. But when she just lost her former teammates, she gave up on absorption. It was because the human wizard was stronger than she thought.

She was about to be killed while absorbing. Therefore, she gave up on absorption, but she changed her mind when she saw a magic that was strong enough to create cracks in the shield of Haresium. Whatever happened she had to absorb it.

“Raymond, give me two minutes.”

After thinking about it, she told Raymond.

“Ok!”

Raymond understood the meaning of Loska’s words and shouted.

“I must have that magic.”

What she was trying to do was to cast a shaman circle that absorbs the magical power of the target being. It wasn’t mana absorption. It is all about absorbing the power contained within.

In other words, if the shaman circle was successful, the magic of a human wizard would no longer be as powerful as it is now. Of course, it takes a long time to create a shaman circle.

She has to put all her focus into it for two minutes. If she is disturbed even for a moment, the shaman circle will also be disturbed and disappear.

Despite the pressing situation, there is only one reason why Loska insists on the shaman circle.

“With that magical power, you can even catch Elegas.”

It was just to catch Elegas. The magic of the human wizard, which she has personally experienced, was stronger than that of Elegas.

If she absorbs the human magic power. Elegas will no longer be able to run away.
And that meant the end of the war.
At Loska’s words, Raymond started thinking.

‘It’s crazy, I thought we could catch him easily.’

No matter how strong a human wizard was, with Loska and her teammates, he thought they could easily catch him.

So, as soon as he felt the human energy, he brought Loska. But what is this?

At first, he thought it was good to block his magic, but the human next to the wizard intervened.

All the Balrogs under Loska died.

*Swish*

Loska began inscribing the shaman circle. Raymond turned his head to see where the human wizard and the man next to him were.

Soon the dust cloud from the explosion subsided, revealing the two humans

“Ahh!”

Raymond created an energy shield by releasing his energy. Then he rushed to the human wizard.
Somehow, he had to buy two minutes of time.

‘I only need to drag it for 2 minutes.’

What if the shaman circle is complete? That’s it.

*Bang*

Amiletta slammed the table harshly. Her expression was filled with anger.

“Damn children! Bringing the Balrogs!”

It was because of the Balrogs. The morning she attacked Alin. It wasn’t easy to break through the wall, but they got through little by little.

And when it was completely pierced. The Balrogs appeared.

As soon as they appeared, they began to attack the Demons. The problem was that only the Demons of the Amiletta faction were attacked. It was clear that the Kyrad faction had teamed up with them.

Not one or two appeared, among them there were two advanced Balrogs. The Amiletta faction had no choice but to stop attacking and retreated with massive damage.

After that, it was difficult for them to attack again.

The damage was great, and above all, it was because they could not solve the Balrogs.

“If it wasn’t for Kyrad, I would have killed them all!”

If it weren’t for Kyrad in Alin, Amiletta would have dealt with the Balrogs herself.

But Kyrad did not let Amiletta go. He always followed Amiletta, looking for opportunities.

“Why are they on the side of Kyrad?”

Amiletta thought about it.

No matter how much she thought about it, there was no reason for the Balrogs to join the Kyrad faction.

“Huh!”

It was then.

“This energy.”

Amiletta quickly came out of the tent.

It was because she felt the energy contained in the token she gave to Soo Hyuk.

In other words, Soo Hyuk appeared.

Amiletta came out of the tent and saw where the energy was felt.

‘Alin?’

Surprisingly, it was in Alin. It was also inside the wall.

‘How…’

She didn’t understand what happened.

‘Anyways.’

Amiletta smiled.

She doesn’t know how Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung entered Alin, but if they were in, there would be great confusion, and that was when they would start attacking again.

‘Uh?’

However, the aura that followed, made Amiletta frown.

‘Energy?’

It was because she felt the unique energy of the Balrogs. The problem was that the speculation was felt near Soo Hyuk.

“Emming!”

Amiletta exclaimed. Now there are many Balrogs in Alin. No matter how strong Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung are, will they be able to deal with so many Balrogs?

“Yes!”

Emming responded.

“Prepare for an all-out attack right now!”

“Yes?”

“Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung are having a fight inside the wall.”

Even the Balrogs will not be able to easily handle them. There was definitely going to be a big battle, and that was the opportunity for an all-out attack.

“All right!”

Emming replied and went to the staff’s tent.

Amiletta saw Emming leaving the tent and turned back. Then she ran towards Alin’s walls.

She can’t leave Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung like that. Kyrad was in Alin. What if he joins the fight? No matter how fast Yeon Jeung is, it will be dangerous.

She must destroy the fortress wall as soon as possible and rescue them.

‘No.’

However, Amiletta stopped running towards the walls with a sudden thought.

‘I’d rather attack somewhere else.’

What if she goes to the place where Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung are?

Kyrad will also feel her energy and go there. In that case, it would be better to draw attention somewhere else to prevent him from going.

After finishing her thoughts, Amiletta changed her direction. Then started running towards the walls again.

“Oh! Oh, it’s Amiletta!”

“Amiletta is coming!”

The Kyrad faction Demons on the wall found her and shouted. Then arrows and magic spells began to fly at her. Amiletta created a shield and rushed to the wall. Then she grabbed her sword and swung it.

*Bang*

An explosion occurred. However, the wall was not destroyed. A slight crack appeared in the defense magic circle. Amiletta continued attacking with her sword.

And the magic circle’s cracks began to increase. Just then, Amiletta paused for a moment.

*Swish*

Amiletta narrowed her brow and looked in the direction of Soo Hyuk, Yeon Jeung, and the Balrogs.

‘That energy,’

She felt a very ominous energy.

*Swoosh*

‘Uh?’

However, she was embarrassed by the following situation.

‘Light?’

Following the ominous energy, a golden pillar appeared piercing the sky.
