Battle of The Black Castle
“Living humans”
“Paladins!”
“The curse on the paladins in the toas removed!”
As soon as they entered the black castle they were greeted by about 50 va with bloodlust
They grabbed their flapping cloaks with their long nails and flew across the space inside the castle to close the distance between theic to summon bats The vae!
“Light, to defeat thy darkness! Holy Night!”
“Light, to defeat thy darkness! Holy Light!”
Alveron and the nearby priests used holy ic siht!”
The vaht sprayed down on the down
Meic to weaken the ability of the undead and creatures of the darkness
Typical healing spells were powerful offensive ainst the undead and vaic, the paladins brandished their swords gallantly
Chukaak!
Vampire blood sprayed everywhere
It was a one-sided massacre
Until now, none of the paladins or priests had died They overwhelmed the 50 vampires with sheer numbers It wasn’t a very difficult opponent
Backed by the priests’ holy ic, the paladins were able to attack the vampires The paladins did not have much risk to their lives since the priests were constantly healing and dispelling
Weed also took on one of the vampires
“Sword Dance!”

He actually just moved around monotonously and struck the vital points of the enees
He went to attack and destroyed while creating al in a wrong direction, he would close the gap

Weed hadn’t taken care of a va ti up, his experience had been at 56, but more than 226 experience points went to the 30 leech
‘Ohh…it’s too good to boost up!’
It was unfair that he had had to give up the kills to the paladins until now In the plains and village he had not hunted so that the paladins would get strong faster, but now he didn’t need to do so any

Weed looked around as he pocketed the ite for hiht the vampires quickly
“Let us move to the first floor Alveron, remove the curse from the statues
The first floor had a total of 50 petrified paladins
Alveron removed the curses while Weed and the paladins searched for others captives
There were a few vah to stop the heavily armed paladins
They searched the first floor without much resistance
All of the rooms on the first floor
There were also nuers
“Alveron, remove the curse on theic freed each of them and they fell to the floor
Of the many people, the bearded elder spoke up softly
“Oh, are you our saviors?

– You have accepted the quest

Weed and the paladins went up to the second floor
Nearly 150 True Blood Vampires awaited their arrival
Other than va nearly 100 in total
Altogether there were 250 enemies
With the number of paladins they had rescued on the first floor added to their ranks, it became too simple
“Attack!”
“Ah waooooh!”
“Let us fight against the evil hoard!”
The paladins had received blessings and protectionthe vaanized, but soon after the fight began the vampires started their counterattack
“Dark Barrier!”
“Dark Arrow!”
“Healing Hand!”
The ic fro shot froe in direct coic, it was possible to end up dead froht hard”
“Yes Weed”
“Use et in the back!”
Weed comainst the dense number of vampires They were the best defensive tankers there could be, since the priest had layered protective ic on them On the side, the priests were instructed to constantly support
They attacked the remainder of the varoups Defending against the ene out the weaker side This approach was , taking advantage of their supportive role to also prevent the paladins fro
They would switch to the offensive for a reckless assault, then to the defensive when they were in danger, to give the priests tiic to launch another offensive
The densely packed paladins and priests were united in battle, fighting in the most optimal conditions
“Let’s attack!”
“The Commander ordered us to attack!”
For the paladins it was not an easy battle, but they eventually won
Froh level vampires, the paladins had been able to increase their level
Furtherh to overwhels
On the second floor, 30 paladins and 40 priests were rescued In the ers rescued as well
‘They’re getting kind of hungry; I’ll have to do so
Usually the priests and paladins would have watched hi they could to get farther away
Looking at the pot made his eyes hurt
It hurt soas he ht to eat it?”
“Please…”
“It is overfloith faith”
Weed handed out bowls of stew to the paladins The ingredients for it were the Avian eggs and the Celestial Fruit!
Finishi+ng the quest required a significant amount of risk The celestial fruits increased intellect and luck, so it was good to eat it before going to hunt Luck increased the item and money drop rates froredients He used the Avian eggs and the Celestial Fruit to redient to the arlic forainst vampires to some extent
“Woohuk”
“Puaahhh, it’s too spicy, I need some snow”
Tears trickled down the paladins’ faces as they ate the stew
There was a tough battle ahead, so there wasn’t just stew Weed cried as he put together dishes such as pickled garlic, garlic salad and garlic sandwich one after another The relatively docile priests now had tears running down their faces and runny noses froarlic
The third floor of the black castle had 200 True Blood Va for theotten the horrors of dark ic The food needs to be reminded of who their Master is Char to us He has become dominated by our spell Wonderful!”
The Vampire Queen had appeared
They tried their illusionary ic to seduce the paladins
“You heinous creatures! Your vaic will not work on an to attack with their swords as they let the priests take care of support
The vaainst the priests to control the paladins
Once they had entered the black castle they were unable to leave
Without the Ice Dragon statue increasing the priests and paladin fighting spirit, they were affected by the charic
But not all the priests,
“Those filthy bastards! Those disobedient rascals! These vampires deserve to die”
“This world needs to be freed fro your followers back onto the right path Cleansing!”
Alveron and the rest of the sane priests used cleansing ht as he analyzed the situation
“First, kill the Vampire Queen and the crisis ends”
But the Vampire Queen ell protected in the et killed before he would be able to kill them
“Alveron, heal the priests before the paladins”
“Yes Weed”
Alveron finished purifying the priests The priests then healed the knights that were under the spell The priests were doing a good job, but the Va
Weed had originally planned to have the paladins and priests fight the vaed His formation with priests as the rear support would not fail
However, the ues and made the priests unable to heal
The vampire attacks had been suppressed to soarlic on the paladins, but it was only a ency!
Weed radiated as he gathered his mana

He used the Lion’s Roar skill that he had trained in the h intensity shout came out
At that moment, all of the Vampire Queen’s tactics became useless
Weed’s leadershi+p was now at a sufficient enough level to command the paladins and priests Without the leadershi+p stat, the paladins and priests could not be coher level soldiers that would not listen to coher leadershi+p, the paladins followed Weed’s absolute co out his coe extended to the area of the vampires as well With the advanced level skill the opponent’s movements was suppressed as an additional effect
“Die!
The paladins drove their blades to rip apart the vampires The Vampire Queen tried to use her illusionary skills to manipulate the paladins, but it failed She lacked the physical abilities that other vampires usually had Weed used the Lion’s Roar skill frequently regardless of the mana-cost
“Hyaahat! Die!”
All of the vaet of the vampires, since his Lion’s Roar skill reat difficulty, Weed and the paladins ed to clear the third floor
