The Dark Magician Transmigrates After 66666 Years-Chapter 453: Who Will Be First (1)

Caterpilt was shocked at the horde of dragons that appeared and filled the sky.

The Dragon God Brahman had been slain, and the dragons were driven to a remote mountain under the watchful eyes of the Black Tower.

In simple terms, they were prisoners, so why would the dragons who didn’t have good feelings for the Black Tower stand on their side and attack the Sun God?

“Commander! The war situation is dangerous!”

He felt his head pound at those words.

The Rans and the High Elves were to be expected. They had fully expected the enemy’s military to call for reinforcements. However, they judged that it was impossible for them to acquire troops that could handle 1.3 million troops.

If it went as Caterpilt had expected, the outcome of this battle would have been the victory of the Sun Church.

‘Damn it. Damn it.’

As long as the dragons participated, it would be right to say that they had lost their advantage. And if they lost the lead, it was impossible to win, no matter how much they were leading.

Rather, the fight would turn into a one-sided slaughter.

He thought this would be a big chance, but it turned out that they would be turned into bugs. Moreover, it was impossible to give the order to retreat.

It was when Caterpilt was racking his brains with the staff to somehow come up with a solution…

“Commander!”

“What is it now?!”

Caterpilt, who noticed the situation, looked at the subordinate with red eyes.

The guy flinched under his gaze, but he couldn’t delay it since it was an important message.

He immediately said,

“The holy church is sending reinforcements.”

“Holy church?”

The eyes of Caterpilt widened at the news.

“Is that for real?”

“Currently, the Epina troops are marching.”

“Epina!”

At the word ‘Epina,’ the staff looked agitated. The importance of that name within the Sun Church wasn’t small.

It was as expected.

Epina was the commander of the Sun troops and the strongest person in the Sun God Church.

The army he led was a fledgling army that was formed just a few months ago, and a man of Caterpilt’s status would know a few secrets about the Sun God.

The Epina troops were the strongest armed troops that the Sun God directly blessed. Their power was thoroughly hidden from the eyes of everyone, and those who knew their true nature could roughly guess what it was.

“Kuak. The Sun God didn’t abandon us. How long will it take them to arrive?”

“Soon.”

At the same time, a blue light shone around the land of Krenrem, and a huge number of troops appeared.

“Commander! They are here!

“Ohh… so fast!”

“Oh, the heavens have helped us!”

All the staff, who had been seated, rose up and began to watch the Epina troops approach the land.

Caterpilt also hurriedly moved with a happy face. And…

“Pitiful things.”

Someone quietly landed right behind them, making them all rise into the air.

Caterpilt’s eyes went wide, and he turned around. There stood this man in golden armor.

It was someone they hadn’t seen before, but one whom they recognized instantly.

“C-Commander of Epina?”

“Such pitiful things. Ra has given you so much opportunity, and what? You bit your tails?”

“T-That, there is a very good tactician on the enemy’s side. You might think I am incompetent, but if you experience it yourself, you will see how ridiculous the entire situation is.”

“So you’re saying that a single enemy has brought you to this point.”

“That…”

Caterpilt couldn’t say anything. And no matter how good the opponent was, they had lost the battle to that one person.

And this disqualified him as a commander.

Epina turned his head.

Caterpilt felt his entire body go stiff under those blue eyes. It was like standing in front of a snake.

“I should have stepped in right from the start.”

“…What do you mean?”

“My words mean that I should have been given the right to this battle. If it is entrusted to someone who doesn’t even know what to do, it will end up like this.”

Epina slowly drew his sword out.

“Even if you die, it wouldn’t be a comfortable one.”

“J-Just one chance!!”

Puak!

Caterpilt’s head fell.

Epina walked to the edge of the wall. On the battlefield, the troops of the Black Tower were ravaging their people. He snorted.

Was it possible to be pushed this far with this much strength?

“Open the gates. And give those fallen ones the taste of the sword of the Sun God.”

As long as he stepped in, the end would never be bland.

-Show your strength.

Then Epina answered while listening to the voice of Blazer in his head,

“Of course.”

Epina’s army began to rush through the enemy camp.

“It looks like the enemy’s reinforcements have come!”

“They are coming our way!”

“We don’t even know which unit they are!”

Another enemy suddenly appeared in a situation where the war was rapidly changing. And Ann looked at where the report came from.

From afar, thick dust was rising.

She had expected this.

This battle was important to the enemy too. If they lost here, they would have to hand over their important base to the enemy.

So they needed to protect this. They definitely thought something more would come, but not in such a reckless rush as this.

“First, make sure they can’t come to this side. Send a request for reinforcements to the Ran warriors.”

In close combat, the Rans were excellent opponents. If they could face the enemies in a melee, it was enough.

“And please quickly figure out what unit that is.”

Without any information about the enemy, they couldn’t use any defensive tactics. They had come to save the enemy during an emergency situation, so they couldn’t be just any normal army.

So Ann began to think of the best and worst outcomes.

Her brain began to work furiously.

“The law of causality?”

“It is over 50% now.”

“If we do well, then it could reach 100% here.”

It was such a large-scale battle.

‘Maybe this will even be the last battle.’

In the end, this war was about who would fill up the law of causality first.

When it becomes full, all the Gods of the Black Tower can move at their will. Once that happens, the Sun God could be defeated.

Of course, the opposite could happen too.

“Our side is faster.”

There was already a difference in the law of causality with one God. And the Sun God couldn’t reach it in time.

But something felt ominous since she still didn’t know who the reinforcement of the Sun Church was. If it were someone else, she didn’t think they could fight the three races.

Actually, it was a situation where one million enemy troops could be overwhelmed.

But Ann seemed to have a feeling of uneasiness creeping in, and in fact, this kind of ominous feeling always ends up being right.

“Set up a defensive formation against the advance of the enemy troops and inform the other allied races of the current situation in case the Rans are breached.”

She must thoroughly prepare for all sorts of situations.

Hasyath led the Ran warriors. As soon as the military command was given, Hasyath led the warriors and headed to where the enemy troops were.

“According to reports, they seem to be talented.”

Hasyath nodded at Karlovan’s words.

“Right. If an ordinary army rushed here, it wouldn’t be much different from suicide. They must have thought that they would be able to overcome this situation and sent them. Have you figured out their identity yet?”

“The center is looking into it, but it doesn’t seem easy.”

“A secret force?”

If the enemy had secretly hidden troops, even the Black Tower wouldn’t be able to find out about them easily.

For now, they had to deal with them cautiously.

Hasyath and the warriors increased their speed by stepping on the shoulders and heads of the soldiers.

With nothing in the way, their speed increased even more.

And they were able to find them.

“There they are.”

Their number was huge, but the troops were divided into several branches, as they probably sent out many units to disadvantageous places.

“Carlos, you take the left, and Anon, you take the right. I will move to the center.”

The three moved to their designated spots right away. Hasyath infused aura on his sword and threw himself at the enemy, who was attacking their allies.

Then the enemy soldier must have noticed Hasyath’s movement, so he hurriedly turned around and swung his sword.

Swords clashed in the air.

Bang!!

It didn’t just sound like blades clashing. It was the sound of something large colliding.

Hasyath frowned.

‘My sword was blocked?’

He was not just a normal soldier.

Seeing that he was properly equipped with armor, he seemed like a vanguard. Even so, he didn’t think that he would be able to block his attack.

Then the Ran warriors rushed and attacked the enemy. Hasyath didn’t pay any attention to them and asked the enemy,

“Who are you?”

“Kuk…!”

Even if his blade was blocked, there was a clear difference in their strength. Unlike Hasyath, who was relaxed, the enemy soldier was struggling to block his sword as if his face would burst at the strength he was using.

Then he opened his mouth with his eyes wide open,

“Die, you bugger.”

“Right.”

Hasyath nodded and then decapitated him with a swipe.

Leaving behind the fallen head, he began to slaughter the enemies. And then he felt it.

‘These guys are incredibly strong.’

Except for the one he had just killed, all the others seemed like normal soldiers, yet they were stronger than he had imagined.

If they were a different unit, then each of the strengths they held was that of a commander. And he felt holy power coming from them.

He had experienced this before.

‘The holy power of the Sun God. All those who received his blessing hold such power.’

It wasn’t as great as the holy power of the Sun, but it was much better than normal soldiers. Still, it wasn’t to the point where Hasyath couldn’t handle it.

If it was just this much, the warriors could block them.

Kwang!!!!

And from a not-so-far distance, he heard an explosion. Then a tremendous wave of energy erupted, making Hasyath’s hair stand up.

“Ahhhh!”

A soldier moved to stab Hasyath, but he got slapped in the neck and fell down. The enemies blocked his path, but their power couldn’t slow down Hasyath’s movements.

And when he arrived at the place where the explosion came from, Hasyath could only go stiff.

“Is it you? The head of the Rans.”

There, a knight in golden armor was sitting on top of someone. It was his aide, Karlovan, whom he had sent to the left.

He was lying on the ground, gasping for air, and he seemed to be unconscious.

The knight said,

“The other day, I owed you a favor for my subordinates.”

“….”

“They were idiots, but they were still my subordinates. So I need to take revenge.”

“Reveal your identity.”

The golden knight, Epina, smiled and raised his sword.

Then holy power rose from his body. However, it wasn’t the Sun God’s.

“The name of this body is Epina. I am the apostle of the Flame God, Blazer.”

At those words, Hasyath was shocked.

From what he knew, Blazer was originally an Apostle of the Sun God but was promoted to a God a few years ago.

He wasn’t surprised because he already knew about it, but the part that surprised him was…

“Apostle?”

“Right. Apostle.”

As the system of 12 old Gods collapsed, all the Apostles vanished.

The only one left was Ricky, who had accepted the powers of Pyro in him.

In other words, there were no more existing Apostles. Since an Apostle was a being of a God, it wasn’t something that could be created in just a few years.

But if they still existed…

“Your expression. I like it.”

Unusual energy flowed from Epina’s body.

“Why? Did I catch you off guard?”

Hearing that, Hasyath clicked his tongue. An Apostle was a medium through which the Gods could descend on the land.

That meant that the law of causality would be meaningless.

Even though he was only one of the enemy Gods, it was undeniable that the gap that had been opened so far could be narrowed.

Then Hasyath straightened his sword and ordered his subordinates,

“Run to the center and inform them about this quickly.”

“Yes.”

As soon as the warrior received the order, he turned around and tried to run, but Epina swung his sword.

The blade with holy power rushed for him.

“I am here in front of you.”

Kwang!!!

Epina’s slash exploded in the air and scattered everywhere. Hasyath landed lightly on the ground and shook his wrists.

“Do not think you can do whatever you want.”

“Hehehe. Struggle hard then, you filthy thing.”

“It is true.”

Hasyath’s body began to give out this terrifying energy, and his eyes were stained yellow like a beast.

“Since when did humans climb this much?”

The blue stone in his forehead began to give out a menacing light. And his long hair rose to the air.

“I will kill you before you can summon your God.”

“You don’t have to worry about my God coming. Because before that happens, you will die at my hands.”

The two moved at the same time. Then a fierce battle began in the middle of the battlefield.
