We Live in Dragon’s Peak

The mighty warriors with their shields in the front row. Then, I waited for a group of monsters with black rocky skin that was still steadily pushing against me.

The rock is in the sand. The sand is in the dust!

From behind the formation with its shields, powerful words were uttered in harmony.

The legs of the monsters that came from the darkness collapsed. The collapse progresses, the torso collapses, and the arms and head collapse, turning into sand as they say.

This is the power of the Divine Clan.

Even a monster can be destroyed without struggle.

Even so, a swarm of black rock-skinned monsters sprang up from the depths of the darkness.

Then, in anticipation of the onslaught of Divine Magic, he finally reached the front row where he had a shield.

"Push back!"

"Ohhh!!"

The men with their shields are moving out on Ethnide's orders.

One step at a time. One step at a time. Rather than using a sturdy shield to stop the monster from progressing, it steadily pushed it back.

"Ahhh, ahhhh..."

From the back of the monster's crimson mouth, a creepy voice resembling a cry (how) leaked out. However, the Divine Clan performs its role steadily without fear.

From the gap between the shields, warriors with long-handled weapons attacked.

A spear (just now) pierced the monster's head. At that moment, the upper half of the monster formed by the rock exploded.

The Divine Spear scattered the monsters in front of the shield.

"Gaaaa!"

However, it was the gods who screamed.

"I-I-I-Itchy!?"

Attention was drawn to the man in the front row, who screamed and retreated.

And everyone was stunned.

More than half of the sturdy shield that was supposed to push the monster back had melted. Not only that, but the man was also seriously injured by melting the flesh of his arms and flanks.

"Watch out! These red liquids are lava!"

The man next to him shouts as he watches the part where the man gets injured.

"Don't fight in close proximity!" If you destroy or tear apart their bodies, the body fluids of lava will splash away! "

No one can say such a foolishness. Because some other people were injured when they were exposed to lava.

"Tsk."

Ethnide's tongue struck.

"Shamans, take care of the wounded." Push the monsters back in the front row. It's a change of plan. I'll bury them all with my magic. "

"Ohhh!!"

The gods were only upset for a moment.

Judge the situation calmly and react faithfully to Ethnid's orders.

A truly commanding army.

The mighty warriors with their shields fend off the invasion of the black rock monster and push it back. Sometimes monsters attack from the gap between the shields, but those in the second row turn back. However, it did not damage the monster's body.

The bright red parts that can be seen in the eyes, mouth, and joints of the black rock monster are ultra-hot lava.

If you destroy your body and scatter lava, you won't be injured by burns.

In fact, the first man to bathe in lava melted his flesh and was seriously injured.

Ruysseyne and Madeline are retreating to the rear of the queue to help the wounded.

Next to them were those who chanted the magic of God.

The rock is in the sand. The sand is in the dust!

Frost the earth and the sky!

The monsters in the distance turned into sand and eventually dust. The monster that was approaching became frozen, and the bright red lava cooled into just a chunk of rock.

As the men with the shields advanced, the rocky monsters collapsed without scattering the lava inside them.

"There is no other love."

No matter how many monsters there are, the invasion of the gods may not be stopped, as Ethnid laughs with his nose.

After that, the impending monsters were crushed by warriors with shields, and the monsters at a distance were returned to the dust by Divine Magic.

All we had to do was look behind our backs at the battles of the gods.

Awesome. This is how you fight with Divine Magic as your mainstay.

And I'm honestly impressed.

If this was an ordinary human adventurer, he might have retreated without even crushing the monster's black rock skin in the first place. The Divine Clan did everything in their power to destroy it.

In the future, if you're going to confront these people, you're going to have to deal with a group that's going to show perfect movement, like an army, and a god-general, Ethnid, who's going to lead it.

However, this is not the time yet.

First, we need to see if the Emperor Mansion can get through this underground ruin to the west of the Heavenly Mountains.

Besides, we shouldn't be alarmed.

If we don't make it through here before we see the end of the Imperial Venerable Mansion, there's no point!

"There are no remaining monsters, right?" All right, let's move on. "

The creepy monster with black rock skin and lava flowing through its body was completely destroyed by the onslaught of the god race. After confirming that, Ethnid orders his troops to move forward.

Personally, I think it would be better to analyze the situation and decide more carefully on the plan for the future, since the first battle resulted in injuries and the power was drained.

However, for the Divine Clan, this amount of battle would not count toward the number of objects.

By order of Ethnide, the gods do not hesitate to proceed.

We can't help it. We'll follow.

"... hey, Mistral"

What is it?

I walked so that I wouldn't be late from the ranks of the gods that were ahead of me. I was staring at the wreckage of monsters scattered on a nicely paved stone floor.

And then I asked my doubts.

"This is a monster, isn't it?" But you don't have any magic crystals? "

"When I was told, yes." I was observing how the god tribe fought, so I didn't care, but if they said it was strange, I wonder? "

Everyone but me and Mistral looked over the remains of the scattered monsters. However, instead of the magic crystal stone, there were no fragments left.

Is Divine Magic powerful enough to destroy even the core of a monster?

No, no, that's still weird, right?

After all, the first few of them were defeated in the melee, so the magic crystal stone must have fallen. However, no magic crystals fell anywhere.

"I'm a little curious." Next, let's pay more attention to monsters than to the movement of the Divine Clan. "

That's right. As soon as I dived through the gates of Hades and went underground, a group of monsters poured in.

Is it a trap?

Maybe.

At the end of the tunnel, you'll find an underground city bequeathed to you by the Phoenix.

And there may still be some terrible monsters and curses that destroyed the Hidden Clan.

That way, the monsters made of black rock.....

and it was not the case that it was being considered.

Nervous voices bounced from the gods who had just resumed their march.

"Hey, they're coming from the back again!"

Form a line up!!

What a number!

Don't be silly!

The black rock-skinned monster that I just defeated was once again swarming around!?

As it was unfolding, I began to feel anxiety even behind us.

I'm fine now. Even if a horde of monsters came, they could be defeated by Divine Magic. If the gods get tired, we can fight too.

But what do you think?

If the swarm of monsters keeps coming until it crosses the underground of the Heavenly Mountains and passes to the west.....

Rather than a god clan, maybe even we can't fight because we're exhausted in the middle of a long journey?

"Don't be a wolf, you criminals!!"

There, a stroke of ethnicity echoed.

“An old ruin is one in which a large trap is set at the entrance to thwart an intruder. Don't stand up in a swarm of monsters like this!"

Ethnid shouted and stepped forward on his own.

Then, as I pulled out the sword on my waist, it released a powerful word.

Ring, my sword slash!

Ethnid's loud voice echoed through the underpass walls and floors.

Ring, my sword slash! '' Ring, my sword slash! '' Ring, my sword slash! ''

Something abnormal happened.

A swing of the Divine Sword that was swung down at the same time as the powerful words.

With just one swing, the monsters that were swarming from the back of the darkness were slashed from all directions and turned into rock masses.

"Oh, no!?"

I'm stunned by the magic that Ethnide unleashes.

What was that, all the echoed "powerful words" became divine magic!?

So, this is too much of an out-of-standard trick!

Nguyen praises Ethnid, as I suppose he does.

"The flowing stone is called the deep sounding general." You can freely reverberate your voice like Yamahiko, and multiply the power of Divine Magic. Among the gods, General Ethnid has a rare ability. "

"Hmph. I'm impressed to such an extent." Well, was it the first time that my divine art was shown in front of you? "

In addition to Nguyen's admiration, Ethnid showed an unmistakable expression.

"The selection of the martial gods ahead." In the eyes of the Emperor, it was me and Wender who were the candidates. But by birth, I'm not one step ahead of Wendell. He is a family member whose ancestors served the descendants of the Warrior God. By contrast, I am of civilian origin. The Emperor valued Wender's loyalty more than his own. "

While staring at the remains of the monsters that had been wiped out by Divine Magic, Ethnid remembered the past.

"But, Nguyen, I'm still proud to be superior to Wendell, by force alone." What I lacked was above all merit. ”

So, and Esnid shifts his gaze from the wreckage of the monster to the darkness at the end of the aisle.

Now is the time. I will offer to the Emperor to secure the path that crosses the underground of this mountain range, and this time I will become a martial god.

“Let us all pledge our allegiance to General Ethnid and make sure that we overcome our difficulties and show results.”

Following Nguyen, all the gods showed loyalty to Ethnid.

We watched them quietly behind us.

Divine Magic interferes with Morinori by "powerful words" and exerts its true value.

Ethnicity can freely echo its "powerful words" to add the effects of divine magic over and over again.

I'm sure that even outdoors, Ethnide can reverberate. Moreover, the echoed technique shows effects from that direction.

In other words, when Ethnide releases the reverberating divine technique, the same technique attacks from all directions.

In support of my suspicions, the swarm of monsters was not because of the direction in which Ethnide stood, but because they were slashed in all directions by the magic that echoed on the walls, ceilings, and floors, causing them to be annihilated.

And because Nguyen knew what Ethnide was capable of, which was no less than this Wushu god, he must have acted with caution.

Moreover, pretending to admire Ethnid, he secretly informed us of the effects of his divine tricks.

After all, Nguyen is a guilty songwriter.

That being said, I am grateful that I was able to discover the special divine art and power of Ethnicity.

If there had been occasions when confronting Ethnid without knowing anything, we might have been late for his divine tricks.

Ethnid said that if it was only force, it was more than the former martial god Wender.

Certainly, Divine Echo is a threat.

Moreover, this is an underground ruin where voices echo easily. I honestly feel like I don't want to compete with ethniads who have an interest in a place like this.

"Come on, let's go."

Say, "Ethnite unleashes the magic of the gods of light."

Then, the lights turned on not only in the area around the Ethnide, but all the way down the aisle.

This must also be due to the reverberation.

I echoed my voice far away and skipped the effects of my magic.

Floors, walls, and ceilings are brightly lit by the divine arts of Ethnide.

Apparently, the first trap ended with the monsters nowadays.

There was no longer any monster with black rock skin in the lit aisle.

The people of the Divine Clan begin to move beyond the wreckage of the destroyed monsters to the back of the passage.

Let's go, too.

We'll resume our steps so that we don't get delayed. [M]

An underground ruin left behind by the Hidden Clan.

We've only just entered the entrance.

What kind of difficulties await you in the future?

My feet stepping on the stone floor were unconsciously nervous.
