The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 755

Episode 755 Are You Aiming for That Place? (2)

The sharp sound of the thick rope tearing as the suspension bridge broke echoed through the canyon.
The people who had been tied up as hostages fell into the air with screams.
“Euaaaah!”
People falling into the deep, dark canyon. The warlocks were laughing sinisterly as they watched the scene.
The only reason they didn’t kill the people right away
was to induce Giselle to use her power to save them. If she tried anything, her strength would be drained.
However, Giselle had already seen through their purpose.
“Erenes.”
“I know!”
When Erenes raised her hand, the wind spirits appeared.
Transparent spirits flew toward the people who were falling through the air.
Paaaaah!
The people’s fall became slow, like feathers settling down. The winds entangled and supported them.
However, the bottom was a river. The deep, strong water flowed without stopping.
“Breath of water! Embrace them with your calm embrace!”
As Erenes shouted, a huge wave rose above the river.
The water spirits formed a water pillar and gently caught the people who were falling.
The people safely floated down the water pillar without falling into the river and were held in the arms of the spirits.
The leader of the black magicians, Bulrag, who was watching the situation, bit his lip.
“Spirit? I didn’t know there was a spirit master?”
However, he couldn’t deny the sight before his eyes. He was trying to take away the power of the crazy wizard, but an unexpected enemy appeared.
“First, kill the people.”
The black magicians who were watching the situation quickly extended their hands.
The black magic condensed and the power of lightning, fire, and poison poured in all at once.
Erenes was already controlling two types of spirits at the same time. He was already using a lot of power, so he had no time to react to the black magicians’ attacks.
At that moment, Giselle stepped forward.
“Shield.”
It was a short and simple chant, but its power was no joke.
Paaaaak!
A huge dome-shaped shield formed above the people who were embraced by the spirits. The dark magicians’ attacks were blocked by the dazzling barrier.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!
The magical fragments cut down the poor canyon cliffs. The people were safe.
Erenes let out a sigh of relief and began to lead the people towards him.
Yulien and Kyle came closer and shouted.
“Gisselle! It was a success! We saved all the people!”
“Thank goodness. The plan went as planned. Now let’s retreat quickly.”
Since the suspension bridge was cut off, there was no way to cross the canyon from this side.
Their plan was to save the people. They had to retreat and turn around, or figure out another way to deal with them.
But suddenly, Giselle grabbed the two people’s arms.
“This is a very good situation.”
“What?”
“This kind of training time is rare. When will we ever see so many monsters gathered together again?”
“……?”
Giselle immediately threw the two people to the other side with all her might.
“Eeeeeeeee!”
“Hey!”
Yulien and Kyle’s bodies cut through the air and crossed the canyon.
The other mercenaries looked at them with blank expressions. At that moment, Giselle quickly approached Lionel.
Giselle smirked as she looked at Lionel with a blank expression.
“You have to use what you’ve learned. You’ve even gained some mana. If you want to improve your skills, actual combat is the best.”
“Oh… Don’t do that. You crazy bastard.”
“Hold on to your shield. You can’t lose it while flying.”
Giselle immediately grabbed Lionel and threw him.
Lionel didn’t even scream. He just flew away with a blank expression.
Kuung!
Lionel, who had fallen to the other side, immediately picked up his shield.
‘What? If you’re going to kill me, why don’t you just kill me yourself? Why are you trying to kill me so hard?’
No matter how much he thought about it, it seemed like it looked good to die fighting a monster.
Lionel gritted his teeth.
‘I won’t die! When I get back to the Vatican, I’ll tell everyone!’
Kaaaaaah!
The valley was full of vicious monsters.
Chimeras with strange combinations.
Undead approaching, dragging their rotten flesh.
There were so many of them. It seemed like they had gathered all the monsters in the area.
Yulien muttered quietly when he saw it. “……This is a bit much.”
Kyle also burst into laughter as if he found it ridiculous and drew his sword.
“Haha……. You’re not telling us to deal with all of these, are you?
”
Lionel raised his shield and rolled his eyes here and there.
However, he had no time to worry. The sound of the monsters’ hooves echoed through the valley, and the stench of rotting corpses wafted in.
“Eww! Damn it! Why is training always like this!”
Kyle’s shout rang out loud. Yulien didn’t say anything else and immediately swung his sword and cut the heads of the monsters approaching him.
Lionel, who didn’t want to die, kept pushing the monsters away with his shield.
Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
The three of them began to fight the monsters with all their might.
Giselle watched them for a moment. With the skills of the three of them, they should be able to withstand the monsters’ attacks.
There was no need to worry about the warlocks’ attacks. The warlocks were all focused on themselves.
‘They’re all 5th circles.’
He had accurately identified the circles with the attack just now. They were saving their strength to deal with the superhuman himself.
Giselle turned her head. There were still a few mercenaries with Deneve.
Deneve stretched out her hand with a pale expression.
“Gisselle, not me. Not yet.”
“Osval the man! If I go, I’ll die!”
Giselle thought for a moment and nodded. It seemed like the others wouldn’t be able to hold out there.
“Hey hey hey hey! Hurry up and help me!”
Kyle shouted. It seemed like there were too many monsters and they were too much for them.
Kwaaaaang!
Giselle exploded and flew out. He flew through the pressure of his body and landed in the middle of the monsters.
Kwakwakwakwakwak!
The magical power that Giselle released exploded in all directions. Blue flashes of light pierced and tore through the monsters’ bodies.
Between the blood and flesh flying in the air, the magical power that Giselle released spread out like a dance and pierced the remaining monsters.
Yulien instinctively stepped back, and Kyle mumbled with his mouth wide open.
“If I could do it all by myself anyways……”
Lionel flinched every time an explosion occurred.
‘I was X-food after all.’
His self-esteem had fallen considerably.
Giselle did not wipe out all the monsters. She had to give the three of them a chance to train. She
began to advance, only clearing away the monsters that blocked her way.
Then, four warlocks finally appeared in the distance.
“They’re only targeting that one.”
At Bulag’s words, magic circles rose from all directions and crimson magic poured out.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The magic that shot out like lightning split the ground and struck Giselle.
In an instant, the battlefield was covered in smoke.
However, Giselle maintained her shield and continued to advance.
She blew away the monsters that charged at her, tearing and destroying everything in front of her as she advanced.
Kwaaaaah! Kwaaaaah! Kwaaaaah!
As Giselle joined in, the monsters heading for the three of them decreased. There were still many, but if you put in all your strength, you could handle them.
Behind, Erenes was pulling people up to safety.
“Slowly! It’s okay! The spirits are holding you, so don’t be afraid!”
The mercenaries ran and moved people one by one to the safe area behind them.
After saving everyone, Erenes used the wind spirit to lift herself up.
“You guys protect the people here. It’s dangerous over there.”
She told the mercenaries and crossed to the other side.
The mercenaries muttered one by one as they watched her fly.
“Sister, we can’t fly.”
“It won’t help even if we go anyway.”
“Osval, the man! I’m angry, but I’ll wait here!”
All the others could do was take the people to the back and reassure them.
Kwaaaaah!
Flames burned the sky, and the wind screamed.
As Erenes stepped onto the battlefield, the spirits’ energy following her exploded in all directions.
Blue whirlwinds swirled, decapitating chimeras, and fireballs exploded, engulfing the undead.
The hordes of monsters, numerous and disorganized, fell helplessly before that overwhelming aura.
The warlocks were terrified at the sight. Although there weren’t many of them, they were all too strong.
In particular, the one who was steadily blowing away monsters and approaching was beyond the rumors.
Bullagh sweated with a nervous expression.
“Astion… He’s really amazing.”
They had heard that their opponent was a superhuman. They had expected that it would be difficult to win, but they didn’t feel it.
However, the moment they witnessed him approaching while slaughtering countless monsters,
all of the warlocks felt fear.
Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
Every time Jiselle swung her staff, monsters flew away, and every time she casted magic, the surroundings exploded.
Watching the scene, Bullagh clenched his teeth.
‘More than half of the monsters have already been destroyed.’
If things continued like this, they would eventually be caught and killed.
They had no choice but to use a last resort. He said as he raised his magical power.
“…Let’s begin.”
They didn’t think that they, who were 5th circles, would be able to win in a head-on fight anyway.
They had prepared considerably to capture the superhuman.
“Pour everything out.”
At his words, the black magicians simultaneously unleashed their magical power.
Gooooooo… … .
All the magical power they had released seeped into every corner of the ground.
Soon, the ground began to shake slightly.
Jiselle, who had been moving forward while defeating monsters, squinted her eyes. She could feel a strange energy surging from beneath the ground.
‘What is this… … ?’
An enormous magical power was felt underground. This was not something that four 5th circle magicians could release.
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
‘Could this be, what I did before…’
Before I could finish my thought, an enormous amount of magical power burst out from under the ground.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The entire canyon shook.
An intense pillar of fire engulfed Jiselle’s body and split the sky.
The air burned and the ground melted.
The center of the explosion seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving a hole.
Everything around was caught up in the magical storm. The monsters evaporated in an instant, and all that remained in their place were the burning flames of destruction.
Bulrag, who was watching this, had an expression full of joy.
“Hmph, kkekekekeke! Amazing! Really amazing!”
Bulrag and the warlocks set up traps by planting numerous runestones in the ground.
The power was beyond imagination. Even a superhuman wouldn’t be able to survive at this level.
Even if they did survive, they would have used up all their magical power and become incapable of fighting.
“Hahahaha! Even superhumans can’t help it! Did you think we’d just wait here without thinking about it!”
Taking people hostage and gathering a bunch of monsters were just bait.
They were hiding the real trap by diverting attention.
In order to call in superhumans and eliminate them all at once.
“Hehehe……. This much power……. It was worth using all the rune stones.”
The priest of the Salvation Church provided the rune stones. It was a shame to use them all, but capturing a superhuman was a huge achievement.
And he was a famous person known as a crazy person on the continent.
The other warlocks also breathed a sigh of relief. Now all they had to do was kill the remaining ones on the other side and the job would be done.
The moment they stepped forward a little more with relief.
Booooooow!
Suddenly, Giselle burst through the flames.
Giselle’s condition didn’t look so good. He knelt on one knee and breathed heavily.
Blood kept flowing from his nose and mouth, probably because he had overworked himself.
The warlocks were shocked when they saw that.
“W-what the hell……”
“You really survived after getting hit by that?”
“Is that guy a human?”
Bulrag hurriedly shouted.
“Hurry up and kill him! He won’t have the strength to fight anyway!”
The warlocks scraped up their remaining magical power. They also had almost no magical power, but they were better than Giselle.
Giselle twisted her body and stood up. However, her toes were shaking, and she eventually knelt down again.
“Cough!”
Giselle, who had vomited blood again, laughed as if it was fun.
“This…… is no joke since I got hit directly.”
The four 5th circle warlocks poured all their magical power into detonating a huge number of rune stones.
It was much more powerful than what Vanessa had used in the Battle of Ferdium.
I could understand a little how Victor must have felt when he fell for this trap.
“Haa……. I didn’t think I would get hit by this. I was too foolish and didn’t pay attention.”
It seemed like they had prepared a lot to deal with a superhuman. They even set up a trap like this.
But what can you do? It’s not your fault.
“This body is too weak.”
If it were your original body, you wouldn’t have suffered like this. It’s your weak body that’s the problem.
Astion asked in a voice that seemed bewildered by Jiselle’s words.
― … … Just how monstrous is your original body?
“You’ll find out later.”
If Astion were to rise to the level of fighting those called apostles or prophets.
In any case, the problem was that he had taken a considerable blow. He needed a little more recovery time to move.
The warlocks were relieved again when they saw Giselle, who couldn’t even stand up properly.
Bulrag shouted loudly.
“Let’s kill her quickly. Now is the chance!”
They were tired, but they still had enough strength to kill a person. The distance wasn’t that far.
The warlock in front stretched out his hand. If he kept pouring out his magic like this, that arrogant guy would die right away.
When he was about to pour out his remaining magic on Giselle,
Giselle lowered her head and muttered.
“But I’m not alone right now.”
Grasp!
Yulien jumped out from behind Giselle, cutting through the hot flames.
“Huh?”
The warlock’s eyes widened. His body froze at the unexpected situation.
And in that brief moment.
Snap!
Yulien’s sword cut off the warlock’s neck in one stroke.
