Chapter 21: Broken World (3)

Summon Flame Chariot.

An A-rank skill acquired from Apollo.

While it consumes a significant amount of mana, I wasn’t planning to ride it anyway.

As soon as I attempted to use the skill, I instinctively understood its mechanism and the casting process.

I looked at the area in front of the wall where ladders were being thrust in one by one.

Summon it there.

Whoosh.

Flames flickering in midair quickly gathered to form a shape.

A fiery horse and the chariot of flames connected behind it.

Compared to what Liana summoned, the horse was much smaller and less impressive, but its mere presence instantly burned through nearby ladders.

Burning one or two ladders wasn’t enough.

It moves.

With my current mana level, I can only choose either the left or right side.

Looking over the battlefield, the left side seems to have more ladders.

Run, Flame Chariot.

Burn all the ladders connected to the wall.

Charge straight ahead!

"Neighhh!"

The fiery horse raised its front legs high and dashed through the air.

Running even faster than a car, the airways it galloped on burned with flames.

As the distance grew, mana depleted rapidly.

My heart ached a little, but I endured it.

It must run just a little farther.

"Aaaahhh!"

"Fire! It’s fire!"

"Get off the ladders!"

The trail of fire blazed long, as if guarding the wall.

All the ladders connected to the wall were engulfed in flames.

The orcs on the ladders were also consumed by fire.

However, the flames didn’t spread to the top of the wall.

They devoured only the ladders and the orcs, like the chariot of the Sun God.

Magnificent.

Glorious.

This is what an A-rank skill should be!

Thump.

Ugh… Is my mana completely drained?

My chest hurts.

The left side is more or less cleared, but…

"There’s the Apostle of Order!"

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

The right side is still left.

The Uruk forces are charging while mowing down the soldiers of the Order faction on the wall.

"Protect the Apostle!"

"Gather, now!"

Our forces try to rally, but perhaps because defeat seems imminent, not many gather.

Class: Soul Reaper

Guardian Deity: Aurelia, Goddess of the Volcano

Title: None

Level: 26

Stats: Physical: C++++ (Max), Mana: C++++ (Max), Skills: C++++, Luck: C++++, SP: 21.7]

With my boosted stats, my power didn’t feel much different from when I used the God of War’s blessing.

In fact, the enhanced mana and skills made me feel even stronger than before.

“He must’ve run out of power.”

“Now’s our chance! Take him down!”

“Kill him!”

The Uruks, emboldened by my inactivity, charged once more.

The soldiers of the Order faction moved to protect me.

"Defend the Apostle of the God of War!"

"The number of Uruks is dwindling—we can win this!"

The soldiers, who had regained their morale compared to earlier, raised their voices.

Still, it would be wasteful to sacrifice troops unnecessarily when I could handle this myself.

Besides, these guys are mine to deal with.

I picked up Uruk's club that had fallen to the ground.

"Everyone, please defend the other side. I'll take care of these guys."

"Messenger! You're safe!"

"Yes. The other side is likely in danger too, so please defend there."

After issuing instructions to the soldiers, I charged straight into the horde of Uruks.

The Uruks, who had charged at me confidently, faltered and tried to defend themselves.

But with my enhancement complete, there was no way they could stop me.

"Urgh…"

I swiftly cut down every last one of them and flicked the blood off my sword.

It’s still not enough.

I can still fight more.

Thanks to the Infinite Stamina skill, even as fatigue accumulated, it quickly dissipated, keeping my entire body full of energy and vitality.

I didn’t realize how useful this would be.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

I should’ve used it earlier...

[Pollux smugly remarks that you've finally understood.]

This time, I’ll acknowledge it.

When I looked below the wall, the orc army was still intact.

Should I jump in?

With Infinite Stamina and how weak the Uruks were, orcs should be even easier to handle...

"Messenger of the Goddess! The eastern gate has requested aid. They're on the verge of being breached!"

A human messenger ran toward me, shouting urgently.

Hmm. Fine.

Let’s focus on defending the wall first.

Taking on the entire army would be risky...

Still, I’ll regain mana on the way.

"Peep, let’s destroy a few more catapults before we leave."

"Peep!"

Summoning my bow again, I burned ten catapults in an instant.

Has my phoenix gotten stronger because my mana has increased?

After clearing this much, there were no catapults visible nearby.

Feeling that this wall was secure, I decided to head east.

Following the direction the messenger indicated, I ran.

With each step, the ground gave way beneath me, and my body surged forward.

Like the wind, I sped ahead and soon reached the eastern wall.

The top of the wall was filled with orcs, nearly matching our forces in number.

I leaped straight from the ground.

My body vaulted over the wall and landed atop it.

It felt like flying in an instant.

"Fireball. Fireball."

The fireballs I conjured in both hands had grown so large that a person could now fit inside them.

As I landed toward the orc horde, I hurled the massive fireballs.

Boom!

"Graaaah!"

Orcs exploded and ladders burned in flames.

But there were already too many ladders set up against the wall.

"Peep, can you go intangible and burn only the ladders?"

"Peep!"

Peep flew toward the ladders.

While flying, it turned intangible to evade the orcs' attacks.

Then, in front of a ladder, it breathed fire, igniting it before becoming intangible again.

Smart!

It’s probably only possible because there aren’t any magic-using monsters among the orcs.

"The ladders are burning!"

"Protect the ladders!"

"You guys should play with me!"

The orcs, smaller and scrawnier than the Uruks, were cut down in an instant with a single horizontal swing of my two-handed sword.

"Kill him!"

Clang!

I didn’t even bother dodging the enemy's attacks.

Their strikes couldn’t penetrate my armor and just bounced off, feeling like a mere tickle.

While taking their attacks head-on, I spun my sword like a windmill.

The orcs’ bodies were torn apart in every direction.

By the time all the ladders had burned down, the orcs on the wall had already been annihilated.

I slaughtered them like a machine, without exhaustion.

I don’t feel like myself.

"Messenger! The western wall is...!"

Ugh!

Busy, busy.

Without Infinite Stamina, I’d have collapsed by now.

While I’m at it, I’ll destroy the catapults here and head west again.

As I ran to massacre the orcs, an SOS call came from the southern gate, which I had just defended.

It felt like a game of Whack-a-Mole—every time I dealt with one crisis, another popped up.

Until dusk, I kept running around nonstop.

South to east.

East to west.

It was a fixed pattern of emergencies.

Thankfully, the north wasn’t a route for invasions.

Fortunately, even the strongest monsters climbing the walls were only Uruks.

By now, I was wielding my two-handed sword with one hand, using my left hand to throw any weapons I found lying around to focus on the slaughter.

After defending each wall three times, it seemed the enemies were running out of ladders and slowly retreating.

As the enemies withdrew, the soldiers on the walls—regardless of race—collapsed, gasping for breath.

Honestly, I should’ve been the most exhausted one, but thanks to this skill, my body was still bursting with energy.

I feel like I’m not human anymore...

I’m not tired at all, but the constant killing is making me weary.

I want to turn off the skill and sleep.

But I can’t rest comfortably since I don’t know how the situation might change.

"Messenger of Minerva, the fortress command has sent a formal request for your presence."

An elf messenger, covered in blood, knelt before me, speaking with deep respect.

His demeanor exuded reverence.

Following his guidance, I headed to the so-called fortress command.
