Reader-Chapter 243: Magician Balrogs

Due to the sudden attack, the Demons could not avoid the flame and immediately fell while screaming painfully.

Then it flew towards the Demons near them.

Soo Hyuk killed the two Demons at once, then summoned the ghost horse.

“Child of Darkness, Child of Darkness.”

He summoned the ‘Children of Darkness’. Soon the ‘Children of Darkness’ appeared.

Unlike yesterday, the ‘Children of Darkness’ began to move in search of Demons.

‘There must be a lot.’

Soo Hyuk started walking around.

“Aghh!”

“Aww!”

s

“What!”

The screams of the Demons began to be heard.

Soo Hyuk listened to the screams as he confirmed his contribution. It was steadily rising.

‘I have to kill High-Class Demons.’

But even if it climbed straight up, it wasn’t going to go up satisfactorily.

– Yeon Jeung: Where are you?

Within 5 minutes, Yeon Jeung logged in and sent a whisper.

Soo Hyuk returned to the place where Yeon Jeung was.

“Where did you go?”

“I was cleaning things up for a while.”

Soo Hyuk replied that he dismounted the ghost horse and summoned the ghost wagon.

“Did you see the quest?”

Yeon Jeung asked as he started driving the wagon.

“Yeah, we think we should go back soon.”

Suddenly.

[Warning!]

[High-Class Demon Emoros has appeared.]

A message appeared, and after a while Yeon Jeung stopped the wagon. It was because a Demon appeared in front of them.

“I came here because I felt a strange energy.”

Emoros standing at the front frowned.

“Where did you guys come from?”

Emoros swung his staff with a shout.

*Swoosh*

Then two fire spears appeared.

They flew to Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung respectively.

“Holy Shield.”

Seeing the Fire Spear, Soo Hyuk cast a protective shield.

A translucent protective film appeared on Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung’s body.

After making the shield, Soo Hyuk started attacking Emoros.

“Flame, Wind cutter.”

[High-Class Demon Emoros has died.]

It didn’t take long to kill Emoros.

“Emoros-sama is dead!”

“Aren’t you that person from yesterday?”

“What a human?”

“Didn’t you hear that story? The princess…”

When their leader, Emoros died, the Demons began to panic. And towards those Demons, the ‘Children of Darkness’ approached.

Soon the Demons were cleared up, and Yeon Jeung began to drive the wagon again.

“But when will the ‘Children of Darkness’ skill upgrade? When you become a higher rank, you said that they can use magic with you?”

Soo Hyuk opened the skill window in response to Yeon Jeung question.

Then he confirmed the mastery of the ‘Children of Darkness’.

{Child of Darkness}

Proficiency: Intermediate level 10 (39%)

Special Effect: Two ‘Children of Darkness’ are summoned.

Mana: 4000 Casting time: 5 seconds Duration: 20 minutes

From the intermediate level, the proficiency did not rise easily.

Still, he always summoned them and killed many Demons, and the mastery level was about to rise.

“Do you think it will be soon?”

He could not give a certain answer on when it will be upgraded. But he was sure it would be soon.

“Then it’s not long for them to cast dark magic.”

Yeon Jeung continued.

“Right.”

Soo Hyuk grinned at Yeon Jeung.

When the ‘Children of Darkness’ become advanced, they cast the dark attribute magic that Soo Hyuk casts.

Currently, there are a total of 4 ‘Children of Darkness’ that Soo Hyuk can summon.

In other words, when Soo Hyuk casts Dark Spears, it means that not one, but five in total will be cast.

It was then that he received a message.

[The Child of Darkness has been destroyed.]

“?”

A message appeared, and doubt appeared on Soo Hyuk’s face.

[The Child of Darkness has been destroyed.]

Then, one more Child of Darkness was destroyed.

[The Child of Darkness has been destroyed.]

[The Child of Darkness has been destroyed.]

Before 10 seconds passed, the rest of the ‘Children of Darkness’ were also annihilated.

‘It is not their time yet?’

The summoning time of the Child of Darkness was 20 minutes. It was not yet time to disappear. Then there was only one case left.

‘Who is it?’

It was clear that someone had destroyed the children of darkness by force.

‘They are not High-Class Demons.’

High-Class Demons are strong and can tie up ‘Children of Darkness’ but that’s it. They could be tied up, but they weren’t strong enough to destroy it.

‘Maybe Kyrad?’

Soo Hyuk thought deeply about Kyrad, the Ruler-Class Demon. He was at Alin.

Could it be that Kyrad annihilated the ‘Children of Darkness’?

He didn’t see Kyrad’s power firsthand.

However, it would be incomparable to the High-Class Demons, and would have the power to annihilate the ‘Children of Darkness’.

‘Yes, it’s Kyrad!’

Soo Hyuk was sure. It was clear that Kyrad was nearby.

It was then that a message appeared.

[Warning!]

[Advanced Balrog Raymond has appeared.]

“?”

Soo Hyuk thought it might be a message that Kyrad had appeared, and had no choice but to panic when he saw the message. Because it wasn’t Kyrad but Barlogs.

‘If it’s Raymond…’

It was also a Balrog that Soo Hyuk knew.

“Raymond?”

Seeing the message, Yeon Jeung questioned.

“Then that bastard?”

And then he said with a look of anger.

The name of Barlog who killed Yeon Jeung and ran away from Soo Hyuk a while ago, was Raymond.

‘Why are you here?’

Soo Hyuk tilted his head.

Why is Raymond in Alin? When he was immersed in thought.

[Warning!]

[Advanced Balrog Loska has appeared.]

A message appeared.

‘It’s not just one?’

Soo Hyuk narrowed his brow.

‘There are two advanced Balrogs.’

Normal Balrogs are stronger than High-Class Demons, but what about advanced Balrogs?

They would be so strong that it could not be compared with the High-Class Demons.

Moreover, at that time, Raymond not only destroyed the ‘Children of Darkness’, but also the Hellfire, didn’t he?

There were two such advanced Balrogs. It has become quite cumbersome.

– That person back then.

Soon after, Raymond appeared.

‘How many?’

And after Raymond, Balrogs began to appear.

It wasn’t just one or two.

-Is that the person?

Just then, a Balrog spoke to Raymond.

Seeing that he was speaking nonsense to the Advanced Balrog, Raymond, it was obvious that it was his peer, Loska.

-Yeah, that’s the human.

At Raymond’s words, Loska nodded her head and raised her hand.

Then some Balrogs from behind came forward.

And Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘Cane?’

A staff was held in the hands of the Balrogs who stepped forward.

‘They use magic?’

Balrogs use magic? He thought, but he wasn’t sure.

It was in the form of a staff, but to be honest it is a long branch. It could be a blunt weapon, not a stick.

However, in the circumstances that followed, Soo Hyuk knew that his thoughts were right.

After receiving one wand from a Balrog who was holding two wands, Loska began to mutter, and a huge magic circle appeared..

“Flame!”

Soo Hyuk quickly casts a flame.

I don’t know what kind of magic circle he is, but he can’t give me time to complete it.

However, the flame disappeared before it fully appeared.

‘Do they know how to use dispel?’

The Balrogs behind Loska had dispelled it.

‘So fast?’

It was very fast as well. Demons also dispelled but that was once the magic fully appeared. But the Balrogs dispel before the magic is fully revealed.

Although he used magic, Soo Hyuk, who thought that the level would be low because it was a Balrog, knew that his thinking was wrong.

‘This is very annoying…’

You cannot attack with ‘Children of Darkness’. It will be destroyed by Raymond.

‘Let’s see how long they can dispel.’

Of course, it was not that there was no way at all. They will not be able to dispel all magic.

“Wind Storm, Poison Storm, FireStorm.”

Soo Hyuk started casting AOE spells.

Like Flame, Soo Hyuk’s magic disappeared before it even appeared. The situation continued for a while.

‘Why isn’t he moving?’

While casting the magic, Soo Hyuk looked at Raymond. Strangely, the main portion of the group of Balrogs, including Raymond, were not approaching.

If he attacks now, it would be very difficult for Soo Hyuk, so why didn’t he come?

“Would you like me to stun for you?”

That’s when Yeon Jeung asked.

“Uh? Ok!”

Soo Hyuk questioned Yeon Jeung’s question, but then nodded his head.

‘I’m going to ask for help right away.’

He wasn’t alone and Yeon Jeung can be of great help.

It can instantly stun the Balrogs. It won’t take a few seconds, but that’s enough.

“Shield of Protection.”

Yeon Jeung cast the skill ‘Shield of Protection’ on Soo Hyuk.

Then, in front of Yeon Jeung, a small transparent shield appeared.

Seeing the transparent shield, he came down from the carriage and then shouted.

“Shield of Peace!”

The skill he used was the ‘Shield of Peace’.

A wide-area skill that stuns everyone within a certain range except himself! Of course, Soo Hyuk with a protective shield was excluded from being stunned.

It was because the shield of protection was a skill that prevented attacks from abnormal states such as stun. Soon, a golden light shone on the shield. And Yeon Jeung put this shield in the ground.

*Swoosh*

The golden wave that stood on the shield spread around.

The moment the wave passed the Balrogs, they stopped moving.

It was the same with Loska, who was making the magic circle.

*Bam*

When Loska stopped supplying mana, the magic circle was broken.

“Poison Swamp, Poison Thorns.”

He didn’t know what kind of magic circle it was but considering that it has been created for a long time, it is probably not an ordinary magic circle.

With a satisfied smile, Soo Hyuk cast poison swamp towards the stunned Balrogs, and then cast the linked skill, Poison Thorns.

A swamp of poison appeared at the feet of the Balrogs, and countless thorns made of poison protruded from the swamp and pierced them.

– Ahh!

– Aghh!

Was the time just, right? Or were they just released from the stun effect?

The Balrogs screamed. Of course, not all of them.

‘They avoided it?’

Advanced Balrogs Raymond and Loska were released from their stunned state when the poison swamp appeared, and quickly ascended to the sky before the poison thorns popped out.

Only the ordinary Balrogs were attacked.

*Thud* *Thud*

Soon among the Balrogs, the physical Balrogs collapsed.

And Soo Hyuk put on a sad expression.

‘The magic Balrogs had to fall…’

The reason why Soo Hyuk was so sad is because the magic Balrogs were not killed.

s

The magic Balrogs had a painful expression on their faces, but they were clearly alive.

Perhaps just as Soo Hyuk had high magic defense due to his wisdom, the magic Balrogs also seemed to have high magic defense.

That was then.

“Uh?”

Yeon Jeung let out a bewildered voice.
