Chapter 382 - The Attack 3 (1/2)

Emperor of Steel Kangchan 38900K 2022-07-24

“KukKkk. Those men must be surprised with us…”

The men, who had defeated the 3rd and 1st gate, laughed when they imagined how flustered the Zegal clan’s warriors and guards must be.

The reason why they were able to easily pass through the gate was because they managed to get a grasp on the Daecheon Soul Circle as they passed the first one.

Before the masked men cleared it, the Zegal clan asked the clan guards to restore the circle.

However, after the men managed to understand how it worked, the core collapsed rather quickly and the guards could no longer do anything.

‘Well, I need to admit, it indeed was amazing. I never thought that it would take so much time to break this.’

Earner knew it was a Zen skill developed circle, but the admiration of Zegal Moon only increased.

If it wasn’t for the circle installed by Zegal Moon, he could have been able to get past the barrier.

Anyhow, he had managed to invade the Zegal clan’s region, and he was sure to stir ruckus in there.

‘Kuek! I am going to break everything!’

However, his thoughts weren’t put into action. It was because the northern men lost some of their men.

Kooo!

Kukukuku!

“Kuak!”

“Kaauk!”

“B-be careful! The enemy’s men are in zenith level!”

The warriors of the Zegal clan, who were facing the northern men, were being pushed back.

The 30 Death Knights and the Lich’s combat power was too strong for them to handle, and the other men didn’t even give them time to call for support or attack.

In a matter of hours, more than a hundred warriors and guards died. Many of them were wounded as well.

However, Zegal Soha, Zegal Shin, and Zegal Do led their men to prevent detrimental situations from happening.

“Do not step back! Rearrange your battle stance! Zen users will heal the wounded and support the warriors!”

Under the orders of Zegal Soha, the warriors began to build a new line of defense, and the Zen users summoned thorn vines to block the path or healing spells to help the wounded men.

However, the masked men didn’t just stand there and watch.

They tried to get back at the Zegal clan members before they got treated and cause unrecoverable damage.

However, Zegal Soha and his two cousins wielded their swords and blocked their attempt to attack.

“Kuakk!”

“C-careful, it is Zegal Shin, the Wind Moon sword user!”

“It is the Fire King too!”

“Oh my God, leave them to the northern force and get back!”

The Death Knight and the Lich faced them while the masked men, who were surprised by the Zeniths, backed off.

The undead’s combat power was at the highest point as their numbers were higher.

However, even though Soha, Shin, and Do were struggling with the dark magic users, they weren’t getting pushed back.

“Be careful. The magic from those isn’t the usual kind!”

“I know okay!”

They were quite familiar with Death Knights and Liches, unlike Zegal Hui, who fought them recently for the first time.

Only a few days back, Zegal Hui had been supported by Hwang Bo-sung and Luke in fighting against the undead.

The information he provided to the clan was already known to the important members of the Zegal clan. Nevertheless, a great ruckus occurred a while ago, and they were able to see the men much earlier than expected.

“They fight better than I thought? Surely they are the masters in the Zegal Clan.”

Earner, who was watching the Zeniths use their power and yet not struggle against the northern men, was amazed.

“But, those northern ones are tired or dead. They won’t last long.”

“Well, you don’t seem to know much about them.”

Just as Gwan-chang said, the three members weren’t fighting at their fullest.

The moment they stepped back to lure the undead, a huge smashing sound came over the fence from the rear and crushed the undead.

Looking at the sight, Gwan-chang felt overwhelmed.

“Kuek, that Puppet…!”

It was Hwang Bo-sung, who had brought in a Puppet.

He remained at the Zegal clan without following Luke to look after the place.

When the men invaded, Zegal Hui took Jo Won-rak to a rocky cave and asked Hwang Bo-sung to fight for the wounded.

Hwang Bo-sung had readily accepted the request and met up with the group of Zegal Soha on his way to fight.

In addition, he had held himself back to deliver a critical blow to the enemy in the decisive moment.

It was the time for a counterattack.

“Right now! Everyone, attack!”

“Whoooo!”

Five Puppets including the one with Hwang Bo-sung frightened the enemy.

At the sudden counterattack, the heat of the masked men had collapsed, and the damage they had taken began to increase exponentially.

‘We will get wiped out if things go like this.’

Even though he wasn’t concerned with the undead, the masked men seemed to have taken a lot of damage.

Gwan-chang, who was thinking hard, looked over at Earner.

“…”

He wasn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t have any contingency plans.

He definitely had one that would solve this crisis, but Earner didn’t even move.

“Kukuku. Wait and see. I feel like something interesting is going to happen.”

Just as Earner had said, the rest of the undead, with the exception of the 7 that were destroyed, went into the air.

Shhhh!
