Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 76

“How do you plan to approach?”

“We’ve all acquired flying skills.”

Flying? So you’re going by air? It’s certainly a good method. It’s not like there are no monsters in the air, but it’s nothing compared to the ground. It was much more realistic than the brute force method of breaking through on the ground.

‘I just need to do well.’

And as I looked over the battlefield, I saw flying monsters being attacked. It seems like they’ve also given the order to attack the flying monsters due to the reduced number of monsters on the ground.

“Let’s depart.”

“Yes!”

Whatever the reason, the number of monsters protecting the priests had clearly decreased. Having no intention of missing this opportunity, I gave the order to depart and immediately started moving.

“Elsyke’s Phantom Shift!”

Pas━

My vision momentarily shook. I used Phantom Shift after approaching the ground monsters to some extent, but I still hadn’t reached the location where the priests were. Of course, I wasn’t worried.

‘It’s enough.’

Thanks to the stealth applied by Phantom Shift, I was also out of the monsters’ sight. The situation had become much easier. Wouldn’t I reach the priests if I just kept running like this? But soon, I frowned at the sight of the horde of monsters surging in like waves and used Phantom Shift once more.

“Show them the majesty of the Bamut Cult!”

“Move the monsters! Don’t let them get close!”

‘Got it.’

Having reached the priests’ location more easily than I thought, I quickly drank a magic potion and displayed the best power I possessed.

“Jayer’s Guardian Shield!”

Pavat!━

[S-Rank Skill. Jayer’s Guardian Shield activated.]

A bright white light burst forth. Naturally, my stealth had long been broken. But without hesitation, I ran towards the priests.

I’ll sweep them all away!

“Giant’s Sprint!”

Kwakwakwang!!━

[Skill Damage! 2,891.]

[Skill Damage……]

크아아악!!

Just one attack.

With that attack, dozens of priests were knocked down and vanished. The only regret was that it didn’t give anything other than Contribution Points, but that wasn’t a reason to stop attacking.

“Wh, what? The control suddenly broke!”

“It’s the Vice Guild Master!”

Waaaaaaah!!━

Suddenly, a guild member who spotted me in the midst of the enemy lines shouted, and cheers followed. Why were they cheering? Was it because I had reached the priests’ location? I was puzzled, but there was no time to worry about it.

This was because priests were rushing at me from all directions.

‘What are these things thinking, attacking me?’

Well, I’ll give them credit for their courage.

“Giant’s Sprint!”

Kwaaaaang!! Kwakwakwang!!━

[Skill Damage! 2,901.]

I used Giant’s Sprint again in the direction where they were densely packed before the priests could even attack. It seemed like some priests who were outside the range of my Giant’s Sprint were attacking me with magic, but their attacks didn’t work on me.

[Overwhelming Defense! No damage taken!]

‘I think it was a success so far……’

Just two uses of Giant’s Sprint. With just that, I seemed to have killed 40-50 priests. It was a hard-to-believe situation, considering it was the result of a single person. I continued to move to maintain the current momentum.

“Send out the monsters!”

“Kill him!”

‘Now it’s really starting.’

At that moment, I could see the priests’ furious shouts and the monsters approaching me. I didn’t expect to be able to kill only the priests from the beginning. Dealing with monsters was well within my expected range.

“Give up on the thought of returning alive!”

“Ugh!”

‘Fighting head-on would be foolish.’

“Vice Guild Master!”

“……?”

Just then, guild members began descending from above one by one. Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like they were about to clash head-on with the monsters if I left them alone. However, the objective of me and the guild members here wasn’t the monsters.

“Ignore the monsters and attack only the priests.”

“Ah, yes!”

The guild members who understood my words immediately left their positions, and I also changed my location to a direction where the monsters weren’t coming and used Giant’s Sprint.

“Giant’s Sprint!”

Kwaaaaang!!━━

From the beginning, the priests were spread out everywhere.

There were priests in every direction. Therefore, even though my current charge had blown away some priests, the situation wasn’t going exactly as I planned.

“Clararak!”

‘Damn it!’

The monsters caught up with incredible speed.

Even though I used Giant’s Sprint, the monsters easily caught up to me. The monsters’ roars coming from right behind me were proof of that. At the same time, I felt a heavy impact on my back.

Boom!━

[Damage taken! -588.]

“Ugh, you crazy b*stards!”

Looking back, I saw 8-9 monsters clinging to me. It was a number that even I would struggle to overcome. Realizing this, I quickly shifted my gaze to the priests located behind me.

“Elsyke’s Phantom Shift!”

[Insufficient Magic Power.]

[Stamina doubled……]

I had deliberately used Giant’s Sprint while drinking potions, but this time, I didn’t have time to drink a potion to hastily evade. Fortunately, I bought some time with Elsyke’s Phantom Shift, drank a potion from my inventory, and checked my remaining stamina.

[Stamina: 39.7%]

‘This is going to be tough.’

Calculating my remaining stamina, Giant’s Sprint could only be used five more times. No, four times, considering I needed a way to escape. I was somehow reducing the number of priests, but with the situation like this, I wondered if I could catch them all.

“Tsk, Giant’s Sprint!”

Kwakwakwang!!━

[Skill Damage……]

Dozens of priests were blown away along with the skill. As a bonus, Contribution Points were accumulating, but I didn’t even have time to look at them.

Boom!━

[Damage taken! -652.]

Ignoring the impact I received, I unleashed Giant’s Sprint. Right now, reducing the number of priests, even by one, was the key. The fortunate thing was that other guild members were also desperately reducing the number of priests.

As a result.

“Now’s our chance! The control over the monsters has been broken!”

“We’re breaking through! Follow me!”

A change also occurred on the side of the guild members who clashed head-on with the monsters. As the number of priests they killed increased, other guild members began to break through little by little.

Less than 10 minutes had passed since the battle began.

In that short time, the tide was turning in favor of the Emperor Guild.

‘But it’s not enough.’

If only I had a little more stamina!

There were still many priests remaining. Moreover, I could see the guild members deployed as a separate unit dying one by one due to the monsters. The estimated attack power of the controlled monsters was around 2,000, so it was only natural that the guild members couldn’t withstand it.

It wasn’t like they had higher agility to dodge either.

‘Phew, no time to rest.’

“Giant’s Sprint!”

The last Giant’s Sprint. Now I had to retreat and recover my stamina in a safe place. It would only take 2-3 minutes to recover my stamina, so I believed the separate unit wouldn’t be wiped out in the meantime.

Also, thanks to the separate unit’s efforts, the Emperor Guild’s advance was getting faster and faster.

[Level Up!]

[Ding!~ Level of A-Rank Skill ‘Giant’s Sprint’ has increased.]

[Stats Strength 6, Agility 6 increased.]

‘Level 12?’

It’s hard to level up from level 10, but I managed to do it here.

Perhaps due to using Giant’s Sprint so far, I could see that it had leveled up by 1. However, considering my level, the skill could go up to level 15, so it was still a long way off.

‘Let’s pull out now.’

Using Elsyke’s Phantom Shift one last time to escape the monsters’ sight, I sat down and rested. Of course, in the meantime, the guild members assigned the role of the separate unit were diligently killing the Bamut priests.

‘About 300 left?’

If my stamina recovered, I might be able to clean them up alone.

Waaaaaaaaa!!━

At that moment, I heard the loud cheers of the Emperor Guild from behind. Looking back, I could see the guild members running towards me after dealing with most of the monsters.

‘Did they take care of everything?’

Looking around, the number of monsters had significantly decreased. Perhaps they would be cleared out within a few minutes? Moreover, the Emperor Guild had now pushed through, so it was safe to say the priests were finished.

‘Well, I’ve done my part even if it’s just up to here.’

I had killed at least 200 priests alone, so it was an achievement no one could criticize. Thinking that, I continued to rest, and a guild member who spotted me as my stealth wore off approached me and said,

“Vice Guild Master! You’ve worked really hard.”

“Leave the rest to us!”

“We’ll call you again when the Pope appears!”

“……?”

What’s with them?

I was puzzled by the sudden change in the guild members’ attitude towards me, but I nodded and saw them off.

Well, it would be stupid to lose after coming this far.

In addition, the Emperor Guild that had pushed through overwhelmingly dominated the priests. More than half of the priests had already been dealt with by me and the separate unit, and the monsters collapsed as soon as their control was broken. Also, thanks to the Emperor Guild’s efforts, the number of remaining priests was now less than 100.

On the other hand, the Emperor Guild maintained about 1,000 members, so it was practically a victory. It would be stranger if they didn’t win.

‘Either way, we’ll catch the Pope.’

Kwaaaaang!!- Kwakwakwang!!━

Countless arrows and magic spells flew. Watching from behind, it was quite a spectacle. While watching the overwhelmingly advantageous battle of the Emperor Guild, someone approached me.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Heron-nim?”

“You succeeded brilliantly.”

It was Heron, who had taken on the role of the tank when we did the quest together before.

“Is it okay for you to be here?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s a battle we’ve already won, isn’t it?”

“That’s true.”

I nodded. Heron was one of the few guild members who had tried to talk to me before. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that he was talking to me now.

Kwaaaaang!!━━

‘Huh?’

What kind of magic is that?

In the midst of the ongoing battle, a noticeable magic spell suddenly appeared. A large, swirling flame. The flame swept through the surroundings, wiping out the priests.

“That’s Hwaryeon-nim’s skill.”

“Hwaryeon-nim?”

“Yes. It’s an A-Rank skill called Flame Storm.”

‘That’s an A-Rank magic spell?’

It was clearly a different skill from my Giant’s Sprint. If the damage was sufficient, wouldn’t it be able to inflict far more damage than me? As expected, there seemed to be nothing better than magic for dealing with a large number of enemies.

And then.

I witnessed the black object I had seen right before the fight with the Bamut Cult slowly moving. At first, it was too far away to see clearly, but now that the distance had closed somewhat, I could clearly see its movements.

Boom!━

“Huh?”

The black object immediately jumped into the sky as soon as it lowered its stance. It jumped more than 10 meters high and landed precisely where the Emperor Guild was located.

Kwaaaaang!!!━

“……Crazy.”

A sound loud enough to make me frown involuntarily echoed. The guild members trampled by the monster died instantly. However, thanks to the creature getting closer, I could see what it looked like.

“Wueoeoeoeowo!”

A long horn on a bull’s head. A guild member’s head was reaching the creature’s thigh, so it was at least 5 meters tall. Moreover, it was a grotesque monster with four arms as long as its body.

[Apostle of Bamut (BOSS)]

‘Boss?’

“Everyone, get out of the way! You fools!”

And another message window appeared.

[Raid Boss Monster. The Pope of the Bamut Cult appears.]

‘Has the Pope finally appeared?’

It was easy to tell who the Pope was just by looking. This was because he was wearing a splendid crown and robe, and holding a staff larger than his height in his hand. It was simply an outfit that stood out even from a distance.

“To think you can’t even defeat such insignificant enemies! As punishment for your sins, all of you shall return to the embrace of Bamut-nim!”

“Yes! Pope-nim!”

Regardless of what the Pope was rambling about, the Emperor Guild members were busy attacking the Apostle that had suddenly fallen. And the remaining dozens of priests started to rush towards them.

“Damn it, what the hell is this bull-headed thing?!”

“Huh? The priests are coming this way!”

“Stop them! Why the hell are these guys suddenly attacking us?!”

However, the guild members weren’t just going to stand by and watch. They were desperately trying to block the approaching priests while dealing with the bull-headed Apostle.

“Kill them! They’re just priests!”

“Don’t let them get close!”

The approaching priests fell one by one. Attacks consisting of various ranged attacks and magic spells. And since quite a few people were carrying out these attacks, it wasn’t easy for the priests to approach, but with the Apostle wielding various weapons in its hands and attacking, gaps were inevitably created.

“Euaaaah! For Bamut-nim!”

In the meantime, an ominous black light emanated from the body of the priest who had approached the Emperor Guild members.

Kwaaaaang!!━!━

And then an explosion. Not just a simple explosion. The radius of the explosion engulfed almost 20-30 meters, and none of the guild members caught in the explosion survived.

“Wh, what? These b*stards!”

“It’s a suicide attack!”

“Stop them from getting close at all costs!”

Shouting was good, but the guild members, whose attack flow had been momentarily interrupted by the Apostle’s attack and the shock of the explosion, ended up allowing a few more approaches.

“D, damn it! They’re getting close!”

“Protective shield! Use your protective shield skills!”

Kwaaaaang!! – Kwakwakwang!!!━

‘Wow.’

Wouldn’t at least 100-200 guild members have vanished? Thanks to that, they were able to eliminate all the priests, but the Apostle still remained.

‘This is like a last-ditch effort.’

Due to the suicide attacks of the Bamut priests, the number of remaining guild members was 800-900. In contrast, the opponents were only the Apostle and the Pope. Just the two of them. And the Emperor Guild members, empowered by the difference in strength, launched their attack.

“Kill them!”

“If we just kill the Pope, it’s over!”

“Wipe them out!”

But it wasn’t easy. The Bamut Pope struck the ground with the staff in his hand, and a shield-like barrier appeared.
