Chapter 94

The battle was intense.

The problem was that the attacks of the Kuntachi Principality's soldiers barely affected the wraith knights.

“Gah!”

“S-Save meee!”

“Gaaaah!”

In front of the wraith knights, who were almost immune to physical attacks, the soldiers were powerless.

They could only slightly push them back or stop their movements; it was impossible to kill the wraith knights.

These beings, composed of spiritual energy without physical bodies, could exert physical force while being almost immune to physical attacks.

In other words, the pattern was extremely unreasonable and unfair, leaving the ordinary soldiers with no way to fight back.

As a result, the Kuntachi family's magi-swordsmen had to run around to save the soldiers.

“Hold them off!”

“Damn it! No time to cast!”

“Damn!”

True to their skills in both magic and swordsmanship, the Kuntachi family's knights fought by imbuing their swords with elemental energy.

They also used attack spells at every opportunity, dealing significant damage to the wraith knights.

Despite this, the battle was overwhelmingly unfavorable for the Kuntachi family.

Why?

Because the wraith knights kept resurrecting.

The hundreds of wraith knights would disperse like mist when heavily damaged and then reappear.

Effectively, they had infinite life force, making it impossible to defeat them no matter how much they fought.

As a result, the Kuntachi family's casualties kept increasing.

No matter how they fought, it was endless, and the number of injured and dead only grew without any tactical advantage.

'This is hopeless. Fighting like this is meaningless.'

Kamui, who was also participating in the battle, thought this as he swung his sword.

Crack! Crackle!

Kamui's mastered <Lightning Speed Sword> was a fast and destructive sword technique that possessed the most destructive attribute—lightning.

Thus, like the Kuntachi family's magi-swordsmen, Kamui was able to inflict damage on the wraith knights.

However, no matter how hard Kamui and the magi-swordsmen fought, nothing changed.

During this time, if Conrad of the Kuntachi family had not been showing almost terrifying combat prowess and marking the leaders of the wraith knights, the city walls would have been breached long ago.

'Incredible.'

Kamui understood why Conrad was called a Blood Demon.

“Grrrr… How dare you, mere scum, try to invade the Kuntachi family's territory!”

As a magi-swordsman who handled the unique energy resource called blood energy, Conrad's specialty was killing enemies and absorbing their life force to use later.

Moreover, he possessed a top-tier evasion ability, turning his body into a mist of blood.

However, even Conrad could not fully utilize his combat power against the wraith knights, as they were not living beings.

Conrad's abilities did not work well against undead or ghost-like enemies who lacked blood.

Just then.

“Everyone, this way!”

Otto's voice echoed loudly across the battlefield.

* * *

When one becomes proficient in handling mana, it is possible to amplify their voice.

By loading mana into sound waves, the volume of the sound can be amplified.

However, the roar Otto let out this time was extraordinarily loud.

It was so loud that the entire battlefield shook.

“The young master calls!”

“Gather!”

“Move quickly!”

The Kuntachi family's magi-swordsmen and soldiers quickly moved in response to Otto's call.

“Phew.”

Otto took a deep breath as his allies began to gather around him.

“Phew.”

He then inhaled deeply and let out a powerful exhale, imbuing his voice with it.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”

“Uuuu- Uuuuu- Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!!”

A tremendous roar erupted from Otto's mouth, powerful enough to shake the mountains and rivers.

If someone had been right next to him, their eardrums would have burst, and blood would have streamed from their ears.

In fact, an invisible energy burst from Otto, causing dust to rise and spread in a circular pattern.

‘Why is he screaming like that all of a sudden…?’

Kamui, feeling a sudden sense of unease, turned his head sharply.

Hum!

An unknown energy boiled up from the mana well.

That was not all.

Twitch! Twitch!

His exhausted muscles, as if they had never been tired, twitched, eager to move.

Crack!

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The sword, which had been losing its light due to mana depletion, began to emit electric currents and sparks.

Moreover, a fierce desire to fight surged within him.

‘I've become stronger.’

Kamui realized that his exhausted self had become more powerful.

This phenomenon was not limited to Kamui.

“Oooh!”

“The power… it’s overflowing!”

The Kuntachi family's magi-swordsmen and soldiers, who had been exhausted, regained their vigor.

‘Could it be… because of that roar from the young master?’

That was the only explanation.

There was no other reason for such a sudden surge of power.

“Entire army… attack.”

Otto gave the order in a low but audible voice to everyone on the battlefield.

As soon as he finished speaking, the allied forces let out a fierce roar and began to charge at the wraith knights.

* * *

‘Good.’

Otto smiled as he watched the allied forces charge at the enemies.
