Dream Life

Episode 61: The Tabernacle of Death

Around the dawn of March 28th.

I haven't slept well in a long time, and I got the tiredness I had accumulated.

Magic power (MP) is also fully restored and you are fully prepared to be a magician. But I haven't waved my sword in the last three days or so, and my body is dull.

I go outside to make a bare gesture, trying to get used to it at all. The sky is starting to whiten, but there is still a strong flock of blue showing before dawn.

"Good morning. That's early," Guy, who was sleepless, called out.

"Morning. It's going to be sunny today," he says, making a big stretch.

"It's bad for Guy, who keeps sleeping, but it's been a while since I've slept slowly."

I start barebacking with that being said.

Waving his sword under the beautiful sky, he falls into the illusion of returning to the village for a moment.

There has never been a single raid yesterday, because it feels so peaceful that I don't think there are any terrible enemies nearby.

"I was going to talk to my predecessors later, but I'm wondering if I should give them a scourge today. I'd like to hear Zach's opinion first."

Think about Guy's suggestion as he continues to bare his head.

The enemy hasn't come around here in a day and a half already. The most likely thing is to be moving ground forces, including the Land Dragon.

Since the valley with the cave where the enemy is located is a cliff and there are also large waterfalls along the valley, the first giant (Cyclops) can't reach this place without making a major detour to the ground dragon, the multi-headed serpent dragon (Hydra), and the four-handed bear (Four Arms Bear).

We do not know the situation on the northern side of the valley, but the eastern side should hit the upstream side and the conditions worse.

But there is no denying the possibility that the enemy is not moving. Because the enemy's purpose is unknown and they don't know how to move.

If the enemy's purpose is Luna, you don't have to force us down here.

You can either take another route to Periclitle or if you have time to spare, you can lure us in and wipe us out.

"Right. You should explore enemy trends. It might be safer for Guy and Dunn to explore the enemy's location and the north side of the valley."

"Okay. I'll suggest it to my predecessors."

Wash your face with the snowmelt water that flows into the gorge when you finish the bareback. I poured so cold water that I thought my hands would cut, I felt like my body would activate when I put it on my face.

After breakfast, it is announced that he will send out a scourge from his grandfather.

"I don't know what the enemy's situation is. For that reason, I decided to ask Guy and Dan to go out for reconnaissance. Guy, check with Beatrice to see where the enemy is. Dan asks us to scout the north side of the valley with Freddy and Jake."

Guy hasn't seen the enemy's stronghold, so Beatrice will accompany him to see if the Grounddragons are there. Dan was to lead Freddie and Jake, the young scouts, to explore if there was a way out on the north side of the valley.

The truth is I'd better go, but the magician has been rejected by his grandfather because he needs it for the showdown.

After Dan and his men leave, we'll double-check with everyone except scouts and lookouts on how to fight in the basement.

My grandfather cuts out the story.

"I'll check it out now. Noh and Rod lead the swordsman, and Walt and Beatrice lead the swordsman. Non's squad is Byron, Sims, Brett and Sid. Rod's squads are Nicholas, Mel, Luke and Buddy. Walt's squad is Will and Ricky, and Beatrice's squad is Enos and Eddie. Hector is under the command of an archer. Zach leads Lydia and Sharon and asks for overall command from the rear. When the commander falls, the second seat securely takes over the command. Only this time, focus on defeating your enemies rather than helping your people!

"" Ha!

Everyone responds forcefully to my grandfather's words.

The original Lockhart family will fight for as little damage as possible. It is particularly thorough to send wounded companions backwards to receive early treatment by a healer. This is due to the strong desire to protect the lives of fellow villagers in the same village as much as possible, in addition to the reason of reducing the depletion of force.

Only this time, however, is he supposed to focus on filling the spot if his buddies get injured and do some damage to his enemies. This is because the enemy is powerful and it is expected that the loss of combat power from the rescue of the wounded will lead to the collapse of the entire unit.

"Detailed maneuvers will be explained from Zach. Zach, I asked for it."

After nodding at the words, explain them to my grandfather on his behalf.

"This time it's a big premise to invite me to the basement to fight. There may be grounddragons and cyclops in the enemy, but that's no different. However, I'd like to avoid being noticed that we're after it. Fight outside, understand the disadvantages, lure them in with the feeling of launching an attack from the basement. When I give the instructions, Walt's squad goes in first, followed by Beatrice, my brother, and my uncle's squad. Hector and his men will follow me to the end to keep shooting at their enemies and help them retreat..."

The biggest key to this operation is how to draw the enemy underground. If you make it an enemy, you don't have to go all the way into a disadvantaged spot, and if you know you're inviting me, you'll wait outside, or you'll adopt an operation to shoot magic into the basement.

To avoid that, we need to show the wind that we had no choice but to escape.

"... we must make our enemies think they are winning. I'll act, but we're not all neat, so give me the image of running away in a hurry..."

"That sounds difficult," Nicholas growls smiling at the words.

"You don't have to act like that. I'll give you directions like that. Well, the enemy's assault could be intense, so you don't have to act like one."

When I answer that, Nicholas smiles again, saying, "I'm counting on Master Zach's famous act." I guess he tried to relieve the tension of his young squire.

"The next thing you know, it's what you do when you get into the basement. Head to the back from what went in first. The back passage is narrow, so please keep it in order. At the end of the day, I want you to make sure the door in the back room is open..."

"What should I do with the magic props of the lights?" My brother asked.

"Please leave it on. because I will turn it off at the end," he replied,

"Once in the showdown room, Hector and Liddy, Sharon, go to the shooting area. The vanguard of the Swordsman Squad is the best in white, the waiting group is the second in yellow, the vanguard of the Swordsman Squad is the second in white, and the waiting group is the best in yellow. It's up to your uncle or brother to decide which of the two squads leads first."

As I instructed, there are several lines and numbers on the floor of the showdown room. White is about five meters from the door and the smaller number is in front. Yellow is where the waiting area is, about ten meters from the door, divided left to right into the condition that the right is the best and the left is the second. This is to avoid confusion, such as trying to get into the same place, when retreating behind a shield wall.

I've decided to go in on the right if it's the best, and on the left if it's the second, so I can allocate it evenly, as long as I remember the number of places in the sudden order as well.

"The Swordsmith Squad is the subject of the attack. The Magician Squad is supported by the Swordsman Squad. The Archer Squad interferes with the enemy's use of magic. Of course, if there's a gap, you can go directly to knock it down. But the subject of an enemy attack is magic. Remember that the Great Demon, as well as the Demon, are quaternary equivalent demons. Think you can use the magic of a court magician..."

Assuming the enemy isn't replenishing his power, only demonic demons can get into the basement. Demonic demons can be used in melee combat, but magic attacks dominate. It could be used even more like consumables, and it is fully conceivable to shoot magic into each ally.

"Get me into the aisle in an orderly fashion, even when I'm retreating. My lord is still here. If I can't move, Liddy can't move, and Liddy can't move, Sharon's in charge. To stop the enemy by shooting big magic at the end."

Finally, he completed a series of explanations by explaining the passage for retreat.

After each of them has resolved their doubts, each team will confirm the collaboration. Beatrice's squad was the only one without a squad leader, so she decided to check back when she got back.

Nothing particularly happened in the morning and Beatrice and Guy came back before noon.

"There is no enemy figure. I didn't even feel any sign of the enemy leader."

My grandfather's eyes sharpen on Guy's report, and tension runs on everyone.

"It doesn't mean the enemy is moving. There's no movement across the ridge."

"Yes, there isn't. From what I've seen in the telescope, I haven't even found any traces of an attempt to climb."

"What do you think?" My grandfather spoke to me.

"Maybe he's trying to circle in from the north side. So I was wondering if Dan's team would find something."

"Right. We'll have to wait until Dan gets back. Guy, Beatrice, thank you so much."

After that, wait in the valley square while keeping your health warm.

Around 3 p.m., things changed dramatically.

Dans, the scouts slipped down the north slope and ran up to us.

"The enemy is coming this way! Commander is a wing demon man. The Great Devil was in one piece, five demons, ground dragons, cyclops, and four-handed bears were climbing the ridge. Hydra feels like she's following us a little further away!

"Don't you have that monster...... so to what extent do you think we'll get here?

"I thought maybe half an hour. As soon as the demons do."

My grandfather gave orders for Dan's report.

"Each squad deploys on this spot as per the operation! Zach, I'll take command after this!

That's all I say, pull out Adamantite's sword, and hoist it high.

"From now on, we're in the right place! It is the hope of those who live in this world! Then don't waste your life! There are still real enemies left. Follow Zach's measures and do your best!

"" Ooh! "" responds to the roar.

I still have a rough breath to tell Dan, "Good luck. Drink this guy and get some rest" and give him the water bottle.

"Thank you," he says, and starts drinking.

"It's delicious," he says, turning the water bottle to the Freddies he went scouting with.

Of course it's not the liquor that's in it, it's the herbal tea sweetened with sugar.

"You didn't have any enemies, but there was no sign of them."

"Yes, I wondered a little bit too, but I didn't feel any sign at all"

If it's such a sign of a monster, Dan can't have missed it.

"If you're not there, that's better. This will increase your chances of winning a lot."

Squeeze a little louder so you can hear it around you.

But I was genuinely anxious about the lack of a pitch-black demon clan.

(I've put in just about everything I can confirm. Nonetheless, there is no such thing as that demonic tribe that is the greatest power... I hope you are insulting us, but do you have any thoughts? I can't think of anything...)

Twenty minutes later, for reconnaissance, or the devil flew all the way in. You're wary of our magic, flying over a hundred meters with an unusual move.

"Don't shoot the magic. Maybe he's trying to see what we can do."

All the enemies who have ever seen our magic are defeated. Except if you can use magic like rhetoric (telepathy), the enemy shouldn't know how it was defeated.

Given the rarity of inductive magic, this is quite an advantage.

The demon went back north again after going back and forth over us twice.

"The main unit is coming! Everybody, take your weapons! You may step forward, but keep the shield in position!

My grandfather's voice sounds.

A few minutes after that, the tree on the northern slope makes a sound and breaks.

And a ground dragon about ten meters long and a cyclops figure about seven meters tall appeared. Behind it is also a four-handed bear about five meters long.

The distance is about a hundred meters. Power enters the hand with the weapon.

The appearance of the three demons became completely dewy. And demonic demons slowly descend from the sky, too.

"Use the magic of light attributes! Hector and the others need my backup! Beatrice and the others need a shield around me! Liddy and Sharon need to be restrained in due course!

Hit everything you can from the start to defeat the enemy commander, the Winged Demon-like Man. From what I've seen before, the relationship between up and down is clear, and if you defeat that man, you should be able to advance the fight in his favor.

To do everything possible, use the newly developed Light Attribute Magic "Lightning of Lucidus", God of Light's Thunder.

"God of light (Lucidus), who commands all the light of the world. Give me your spear, the power of thunder. I will not give my life to you. Lightning of Lucidus!

Raise your right arm with the spell and gather the power of the Spirit with your palms flat up.

They gather as the Spirit of Light flows from all around them toward my palm. The light gradually increases and becomes bright as if the sun had been born on earth.

You felt something dangerous about the power of the Spirit, and the demons approached you with fierce speed. And summon a pitch-black spear in your right hand and throw it at me.

The pitch-black spear (Darklance) unleashed by the five demons flies straight at me. I can't move because I'm activating magic.

But I didn't feel any danger.

Because Beatrice and the other magicians had already cemented their surroundings with a misrill-coated shield.

Five dark spears hit the shield. Even Beatrice glances slightly at the pure mass of power, although it does not make a sound.

Still, the Mithrill-coated shield is out of tolerance, and no one, including me, has suffered any damage.

In the meantime, the magic of Light God's thunderbolt Lightning of Lucidus was completed.

Keep your arms straight against your enemies and a single muscle of light pierces the sky like laser light.

I don't see the look on the face of a winged demon-like man, but he just seemed alarmed by the fact that he was floating in the sky in a comic manner.

A dazzling spear of light pierces there.

“I did it” in my heart raises my praise. But soon the applause disappeared.

When the man took the light flat, the laser light was bounced toward heaven as it was. I'm going to lose focus on too many events, but the magic is still going on, and I'm going to change my goals aggressively.

I lowered my right hand slightly and pointed it towards the head of the cyclops slowly approaching me.

The good thing about this magic is that you are seeing light marks, and you can easily change your goal by changing the angle of your arm.

Light is drawn into the head of the cyclops.

The giant held those huge eyes with both hands, growled up and squatted. That's where the magical effects expire.

The cyclops hold their eyes, they ramble around. The motion involved a ground dragon and a four-handed bear.

The ground dragon bounced back the cyclops with its giant, but the four-handed bear was just sorry. The opponent's body, which weighs close to double the weight difference, came under pressure. The four-handed bear tried to escape, but was pushed and crushed in time and is cramped in a state of crushing.

Still a rambling cyclops, but suddenly stopped moving. That's because a giant sphere of darkness has fallen from above.

I don't know if he's dead, but it was magic that felt great power.

It was the winged demon-like man who unleashed the magic.

He seemed to dispose of it lightly, even if it was useless and unnecessary.

He succeeded in disabling the Cyclops and four-handed bears, but failed to get through to the most alarming enemies at all. That fact comes under heavy pressure.

(I meant for a trump card against him and his best balls, but I didn't know it would work at all...)

I didn't realize my disappointment, but my grandfather scolds me out loud.

"You knew the enemy was comparable to that Vlad! Then there's nothing more surprising now! Look closely! Zach defeated the Cyclops! We don't have to hurt one thing!

My heart, which has become heavy on my grandfather's words, lightens only a little.

But the battle has just begun and you can't be alarmed.
