The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 742

Let’s show episode 742. (2)

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaaang!

With each loud noise, the forest split apart.

The ten elven elders were superhuman elementals. The high-level elementals they summoned clashed with the priests who were tinged with darkness.

Before they clashed, the elders sensed victory. Even though the Salvation Church priests were superhumans, they still outnumbered them.

However, as the fight progressed, the elders’ faces hardened.

‘This is impossible! The Salvation Church’s power is this much!’

‘When did they grow so strong!’

‘If this continues, we will be defeated!’

Even though they had twice as many enemies, the elders were getting pushed back. If they had fought with the same number of enemies, they would have been pushed back even faster.

The elders became anxious.

‘We are at a disadvantage.’

‘If we delay any longer, the damage will be greater.’

‘We have to deal with these guys quickly… … .’

The orc army and the warlocks were rampaging. The elves who were fighting them were also getting pushed back.

The elders, who were superhumans, had to join in to turn the tide. However, they were being pushed back by the priests of the Salvation Church, so they had no energy to go to help.

The elders gathered their strength even more. Now that they knew that their enemies were strong, they had no time to spare.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!

Every time the two sides clashed, the ground shook and the giant trees split apart as if screaming.

Two elders took charge of one priest. Even though the elders spared no effort, the priest held on without wavering.

One of the elders suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as a thought occurred to him. It was the elder who had met Giselle.

‘That human… … fought these five alone!’

He had thought that he was quite strong, seeing how he had managed to escape. However, when he actually faced the priests, he realized that he had been mistaken.

To fight these people alone was not something he could call ‘quite’. Rather, Erenes had seen his opponent properly(?).

‘We made a mistake. We threw away the opportunity that the heavens had given us. I shouldn’t have left him there.’

I thought he was just an intruder with a bad plan, so I left him alone, whether he died or not.

However, I should have brought him with me even if some of the elves were harmed by the surprise attack.

If he had taken care of the priests here and now, the elves would have suffered much less damage than they did now, when all the elders were tied up by the priests

. As the elders were pushed back, the Salvation Church priests became more and more arrogant.

Munaref, who was at the forefront pressuring the elders, smiled cruelly.

“That human was particularly strong. Our predictions were not wrong.”

He had expected a hard time, thinking that the entire human race had reached a high level, but the elven elders’ strength did not exceed his expectations.

Munaref felt relieved. At this level, they could easily trample the forest and achieve one of the sect’s long-held wishes.

“Keuhehe… You will have to pay the price for living complacently for hundreds of years.”

They were trapped in the Demon Realm, suffering endlessly. They lived only with a sense of mission to fulfill the will of God.

But what about the elves?

They enjoyed the blessings of nature to their heart’s content, living beautiful and peaceful days.

They never went hungry, were never robbed, and were never sick.

The bountiful forest had always provided them with everything. Everything in this world was on their side.

Now they had to pay the price.

The wrath of those who had swallowed eternal suffering would tear apart their peaceful forest.

“You don’t know how long we have waited for this day.”

An even more intense energy emanated from Munaref’s eyes. He continued to attack and pressure the elders without rest.

There was no need to save strength. They only had to hold on to the elders.

The rest would be swept away on their own.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaaang!

The other priests also spared no effort in the same spirit as Munaref and poured out their strength. The elven elders could barely hold on.

Kwaaaaaah! Kwaaaaaah

!

All the orcs responded to the roar of Grakash, the chieftain of the Red Fang Tribe.

As befitting a warrior race, the orcs attacked the elves aggressively.

Countless orcs were hit by the elves’ arrows and lost their lives to the spirits’ attacks, but the orcs never stopped.

“Shoot! Keep shooting!”

The elves continued to shoot arrows covered in light at the orcs. The spirits rose up everywhere, destroying the orcs’ ranks.

However, the orcs’ attacks were endless, like surging waves.

Crunch! Crunch!

The thick tree trunk shattered as the bruiser carrying the orc slammed into the tree. Several elves on the tree were thrown away along with the tree.

For every elf who fell to the ground, several orcs clung to them and swung their axes wildly.

The orcs, relying on their numerical superiority, charged like crazy. Even though they were fighting alongside the spirits, the elves were unable to properly block the orcs’ fierce attacks.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Elves fell here and there, splattering blood. The ground was soaked in blood and the forest spirits wept bitterly.

But the elves did not back down. They were trying to fulfill their mission as guardians of the forest.

The orcs were not in a good situation either. They were taking greater damage than the elves, simply charging forward recklessly.

Kuuuuung!

Every time the Ents swung their giant arms, orcs fell one after another. The giant branches became clubs and the roots wrapped around the orcs like chains.

Oooooooh… … .

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The orcs screamed and swung their axes at dozens of each Ent. However, the Ent’s tough outer shell was not easily penetrated.

The giant Ent was a shield protecting the forest with its very existence. Dozens of Orcs fell with each attack from the Ent.

Kwaaaaaah!

“Eww!”

The battlefield was now filled with madness. The Elves, just like the Orcs, were sucked into the fierce battle, bleeding and screaming.

The noble guardians of the forest were now tearing and slashing at their enemies like wild beasts.

Among them, one Elf was showing superior fighting ability than any other Elf.

Pfft!

The fire spirit summoned by Erenes swept through the Orcs like a gale.

Wherever the flames erupted, a red flame licked the ground. The flames that burned everything dyed the battlefield red.

Her eyes also burned with anger. At the same time, tears flowed continuously.

‘This is war.’

Erenes, who had encountered the tragedy of war for the first time, realized how foolish her thoughts of wanting to achieve greatness in battle had been.

And she also learned why the Elves only fought to protect themselves.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!

“Euaaaah!”

My people continued to die, their bodies torn apart and bursting.

Hell was not somewhere else. This was hell right now. It would have been better if there had been no war in the world.

However, reality did not go as one wished. She resented herself for not being strong enough to end this war.

Fire spirits were continuously summoned around Erenes.

She did not stop even though she was out of breath.

Instead, she drew more energy from the flames and threw herself into the battlefield more fiercely.

“Eternal burning flame! Devour those who defiled this forest!”

Following Erenes’s gesture, the spirits transformed into huge flames and flew toward the orcs.

Kwaaaaah!

Dozens of orcs were instantly reduced to ashes. Erenes was not sparing her energy to that extent.

She could not properly control her own strength. She simply surrendered to her anger and poured out all the energy she had.

The flow of energy became rough and irregular, and the flames made up of spirits grew larger and larger.

Even the spirits were reacting to her emotions and going berserk.

And when those emotions and energy reached their limits.

“Euaaaah!”

With Erene’s scream of bloodshed, a high-level spirit of fire was summoned.

Pfft!

What appeared in the air was a giant lizard engulfed in flames. It opened its mouth toward the orcs according to Erene’s will.

Kwaaaaah!

A fierce storm of flames shot out toward the orcs. In an instant, hundreds of orcs were engulfed in flames and turned to ash.

Erene crushed the orcs more fiercely and mercilessly than anyone else.

She poured out her energy without sparing it, as if she really didn’t care if she died here.

The current Erene was neither an elf nor a spiritist. She

was simply an incarnation of fire who had given herself over to anger.

Kwaaaaah!

The earth split open, and heat rose up, dyeing the sky red. The surroundings of Erenes were a veritable hell. Nothing was left.

Iraniel made a sad expression upon seeing that sight.

‘Erenes… …’

She could clearly feel what Erenes was losing. Her harmony with nature was collapsing, and her soul was being eaten away by fiery anger.

Elves were inherently beings in harmony with nature. Emotions should be calmly controlled and power restrained.

Communion with the spirits was a sublime ritual that took place in such harmony.

However, Erenes was destroying all harmony herself. She had given herself over to anger and exceeded her limits, but in return, her spirit would collapse even faster.

‘It’s not your fault.’

Iraniel did not scold Erenes.

Not only Erenes, but all the elves here were changing similarly.

How many could calmly catch their breath after seeing the forest trampled and their friends fall while bleeding?

That was a pain that even an elf would have difficulty enduring .

Iraniel turned her head and looked around.

‘Is this how it’s going to collapse?’

The elders were being held by the priests of the Salvation Church , and the orcs were constantly swarming. However, if that were all, they would have been able to fight on equal terms.

The real problem was something else. Ss … The warlocks were happy. It was as if this was a stage that existed just for them. So many deaths! With every breath they took, the magic of death rose deep into their lungs. They fed off that power and slowly dyed the entire forest in death.

And finally. Geeeeeeeee… … . The corpses that had stopped moving in the land of death began to stir. The corpses of orcs rose, and the corpses of elves rose . They slowly walked toward the elves who were still fighting. Although their fighting power was weak, it didn’t matter.

“Ah … The warlocks who saw that scene burst into mocking laughter. In the battlefield stained with blood and fire, even despair was melting away along with death. Iraniel stretched out her hand. Vines woven along her arm, forming a giant bow. Elven Serenade.

The decisive weapon that only the elven chieftain could use had finally appeared. There was a reason why she, the strongest elf, had not gotten involved in the fight until now. There was darkness glaring at her from afar. That darkness did not care about anything else on the battlefield, but only glared at herself. That was why she could not move.

If her strength were to diminish even a little, that darkness would immediately overwhelm this place. They were both unable to move because they felt each other’s strength. However… … . ‘There is nothing we can do… … .’ That darkness would not care if all of its allies died. If it could capture her, this war would end in their victory. However, Iraniel could not do that.

She could not just watch the elves dying. She could no longer leave the elves, whose souls were captured and screaming, alone. That was why she slowly pulled back the invisible bowstring. Paaaaa… … . A brilliant emerald light rushed to the bowstring. Soon, eight arrows of light began to form. There were eight warlocks. Each of them was a strong man with a 6th circle.

‘I must pierce them all and kill them all at once.’ Iraniel concentrated her mind and gathered considerable energy. She knew that the darkness was only looking for her weak points, but she had no choice in order to kill the warlocks at once.

She paused for a moment as she gathered energy and looked up at the sky. Until then, the warlocks were laughing and chattering happily. “Keuhehe…. Die more, more.” “Is it because you are elves? Your souls are so pure. They are so delicious.”

“Be my servants forever and writhe in pain. Hehehehe….” As the warlocks diligently spread their magic and grew the land of death, a voice was suddenly heard from the sky. “You guys deserve to be punished by heaven.” “……?” “Take it. Punishment.”

Boom! In an instant, the sky that had been dyed black split open and a dazzling flash of light struck the ground. One of the warlocks who was directly hit by the light exploded without even being able to scream. “Uh-huh-huh! What, what is it!”

The remaining warlocks hastily gathered all their magic and opened up their shields. Soon, countless lightning bolts fell toward the battlefield.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!

The lightning bolts poured down like rain.

At first glance, they seemed to fall randomly, but their movements were delicate and precise.

Dozens, hundreds of lightning bolts rained down only on the orcs.

Kwakwakwak!

Bang! Kwakwak!

Explosions occurred all over the battlefield.

One lightning bolt destroyed the ground.

Another lightning bolt incinerated an entire orc unit.

Another lightning bolt swept away the undead, leaving no trace.

And then, the largest lightning bolt fell into the middle of the battlefield.

Kwakwakwak!

The battlefield was filled with silence for a moment.

Even the orcs who had been in a frenzy were so shocked by the sudden attack that they stopped fighting and retreated.

The priests of the Salvation Church who had been fighting the elders were also startled and retreated.

The warlocks who had luckily survived were busy pulling back.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the center of the battlefield.

The man who appeared with blue lightning, Giselle, slung his staff over his shoulder and laughed.

“This body, here.”

“…….”

Everyone looked at Giselle with a dumbfounded expression. The same was true of the orcs who were crazy about battle.

It was understandable since he had appeared so suddenly and displayed such incredible power.

Giselle looked around and took a deep breath, regardless of whether the others were flustered or not.

“……Ha, he really made a mess of the surrounding area.”

The corners of Giselle’s mouth went up crookedly.

This place was more suitable for the dead than the living.

The aura of death was so overwhelming. It could be said to be a land of death created by the warlocks by draining the life of the forest.

No living being could survive here. Healthy people had to fight the aura of death that constantly invaded them.

However, the warlocks and the undead could constantly replenish their strength and fight.

They must have tried to pollute the forest in this way to make it a battlefield that was advantageous to them.

It may be hell for the living, but it could be considered a resting place and a stage for the dead.

“But this land is not for you to use alone.”

Jiselle snapped her fingers.

Knock.

With a short sound, a black energy rose up like a storm under his feet.

Paaaaaaaah!

The black fog that gushed out as if swallowing the ground slowly gathered and formed a shape.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Footsteps that resonated like the drums of hell.

Darkness swelled above the heavy black armor.

Iron harder than iron, darkness darker than darkness.

What flashed inside the helmets were eyes that burned red like the flames of hell.

Their black cloaks fluttered without wind, and the huge greatswords in their hands vibrated with old grudges.

They stood in line with Oh and stared straight ahead without moving an inch.

As if waiting for orders.

Jiselle slowly raised her hand. Then she spoke in a cold voice.

“Let’s clear the battlefield. Let’s show who’s the real deal with death.”

As soon as those words left his mouth.

Kwaaaaah!

A hundred Death Knights raised their swords simultaneously on the black ground.
