Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 225

Mu-Gun wanted to raise the Golden Lion Knights rank before the Wolfkans invasion began, but he did not have time to use the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell on all of them. Given the time constraints, he could only help two people at most.

Hence, Mu-Gun made Schwartz choose the two people he trusted the most. At a loss, Schwartz ended up choosing Gellion Claudia and Gilford Gwendolow. The two were some of his most cherished subordinates, which served as proof that they had excellent skills. Above all, they had a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness.

Mu-Gun used the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell on Gellion, then Gilford. Like Schwartz, reaching the rank of Master deeply moved them. Hence, they too vowed to do their best to fight the Demon God.

By the time they were done, the sun was already setting. At nightfall, the Wolfkans would begin their attack.

After eating the dinner House Stonia prepared for them, Mu-Gun and the Golden Lion Order headed to Stonia Castles outer wall, where a hundred Crimson Rose Knights and five thousand Stonia Army troops were standing in formation with determined looks. Mu-Gun and the Golden Lion Knight Order went to the center of the outer wall, where they had all gathered.

Welcome, Harold greeted. Isaac stood next to him, while Count Henrik could not be seen anywhere. He probably stayed behind in the castle, making preparations to escape at a moments notice in case the situation went awry.

Stonias knights and troops have extraordinary resolve, Mu-Gun commented after seeing their expressions. He was not just spouting formalities. Rather, he truly meant it.

Our mens fighting spirit are always burning, Isaac replied with a prideful look.

You cannot win against Wolfkans with just determination, though. Its best to order the troops to withdraw.

Youre only bringing the knights to battle? Isaac sounded displeased.

If the Stonia Army withdrew, the Crimson Rose Order would suffer more casualties. Isaac would willingly sacrifice their troops lives if it meant reducing the damages their knights would sustain. Hence, he found it difficult to agree with Mu-Gun.

Your army is not strong enough to face the Wolfkans. If you send them to battle, they will die before they can even do anything. You can certainly sacrifice them to divert the monsters attention and make your knights attack through the gaps, effectively increasing the chances of their offensive working. However, doing that to them betrays their hearts and willingness to put their lives on the line for Stonia.

We will emerge victorious even with just the Knight Orders, Mu-Gun firmly said.

How are you so sure about that?

Although I cannot see the future, I believe in my and the Golden Lion Orders skills. What about your knights? Dont tell me you can only fight if you use your infantry as meat shields? Mu-Gun sarcastically asked, making Isaacs expression harden.

With all due respect, Lord Argon, please allow me to explain everything to you in Lord Isaacs stead. First of all, the Stonia Army is not as weak as you think. Lord Isaac is ordering our men to join the battle because he believes in their abilities, not because he wants to use them as sacrificial lambs, Harold said. Nevertheless, only the Crimson Rose Order will be joining us in our fight against the Wolfkans. Even without our infantrys interference, they have enough power to defeat those monsters.

Impressive.

Mu-Gun was amazed by how Harold justified Isaacs orders and flaunted the Crimson Rose Knights pride with a single speech. Just like Schwartz before he underwent the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell, Harold was an Advanced Expert. His skills itself were not bad.

I am well aware of the Crimson Rose Knights capabilities. If the Golden Lion and Crimson Rose Orders join forces, we will easily overpower the Wolfkans, Mu-Gun flattered.

Looking pleased, Harold asked, How do you plan to deal with those overgrown wolves, though? Should we fight them within the walls or meet them outside?

Naturally, we will fight them within the walls, Isaac answered.

No, we will meet them outside.

What? Why?

Fighting them inside widens the area we have to defend. Moreover, they will cause huge damage if even just one manages to get past us and cross over to the inner walls. It would be better to go outside, divert their attention to us, and annihilate them.

What do we do if they surround us?

Then we just have to make sure that we dont get surrounded, Mu-Gun nonchalantly replied.

Do you think its going to be that easy? They have over three thousand Wolfkans, and we only have a little over a hundred people. How do you expect us to avoid such a scenario?

If I make sure that the Wolfkans cannot surround us, will you feel at ease? Mu-Gun replied, slightly annoyed.

You have too much confidence.

I simply possess that much power.

Mu-Guns prompt reply distorted Isaacs expression. Creating an Aura Blade out of thin air was impossible for anyone except those who had reached the rank of Grand Master. Mu-Guns Aura Blade was not just an ordinary one either. It possessed lightning properties.

If Mu-Gun, a Grand Master, said that he could do it, then that was all they had to know. Isaac could not help but feel so irritated to witness someone he used to think of as nothing but a trifling existence becoming a Grand Master and Gods representative.

If God chose him and gave him the power of a Grand Master instead of Mu-Gun The more he thought about it, the angrier and more mistreated he felt. It was as if Mu-Gun had stolen something that belonged to him, which he could not bear.

However, all he could do was put up with it. Not only could he not vent his anger on Mu-Gun but he also absolutely needed his power to protect Stonia from the Wolfkans.

Mu-Gun could guess what Isaac was thinking through his expression. The more he looked at him, the more his desire to help Stonia weakened. However, he was not here for Isaac. He was here to save the numerous citizens of Stonia.

Light up the walls! Harold instructed the soldiers as the night fell.

The soldiers lit the torches set up all over the walls, and Richie led a few mages and cast a huge Light Ball under the sky, brightening up their surroundings.

After a while, they heard tremors from the land that the Light Balls illumination could not reach. Mu-Gun activated the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes and identified a pack of Wolfkans charging toward the castle.

Their numbers seemed to be around the same as the pack that attacked Venatia. The energy they were exuding didnt differ much either.

I will be going on ahead.

Mu-Gun flew forward, turned into a stream of lightning, and disappeared into the darkness. After a while, a commotion broke out among the Wolfkans. He unleashed waves of golden lightning as soon as he reappeared, signaling the start of his massacre. His surprise attack rendered them helpless.

When the other Wolfkans tried to attack Mu-Gun, he instantly disappeared without a trace again. Soon after, he appeared elsewhere and used golden lightning to kill dozens more Wolfkans.

Mu-Gun darted in and out of the pack, unleashing lightning each time he appeared. Some of the Wolfkans slumped down, their heads smashed.

The Wolfkan who appeared to be their leader let out a violent howl, making the others ignore Mu-Gun and focus on making their way to the castle. Since they could not defeat him even if they clung to him anyway, they planned to just lay waste to the castle instead.

What a cunning animal.

Now aware of how crafty the Wolfkans leader was, Mu-Gun decided to kill the bastard first. He turned into a stream of lightning again and appeared above his target.

Greatly startled, the Wolfkan leader twisted its body as it ran, trying to slice Mu-Gun apart with its claws. Though astonished by its outstanding ability to adapt, Mu-Gun just extended his hand toward it and struck back using the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike. The collision ripped the Wolfkan leaders paw off, causing its blood to spurt out. With the shock disrupting its balance, it fell to the ground and rolled a couple distance away.

Mu-Gun immediately created a Thunderbolt Sword and stabbed the Wolfkan leader in the head, causing it to explode. Its huge body spun several times before lifelessly skidding to a stop. Having taken out his target, Mu-Gun turned to the rest of the Wolfkan pack. Before he knew it, they had already narrowed their distance to the castle down to about a hundred feet.

Wearing Chevalier Armor, the Golden Lion and Crimson Rose Knights all marched out of the walls like huge steel giants.

Chevalier Armor was different from the common armor. Rather than armor, it would be more appropriate to call it a weapon that a human could ride. They boasted a height of twelve cheok[1], which was twice the height of the knights they rode. Using Subspace Magic, a high-tier magic spell, those huge armors were usually stored in items like rings or necklaces, allowing the knights to summon them whenever needed.

With their abilities dramatically improved, the Golden Lion Knights and Crimson Rose Knights, who were Advanced Experts and Distinguished Experts, displayed power equivalent to Distinguished Expert and Stellar Expert ranks. Four Distinguished Experts were enough to defeat one Wolfkan, while Stellar Experts could slay a Wolfkan alone.

However, the Wolfkans outnumbered the two Knight Orders far too much. Although Mu-Gun managed to kill many of the monsters in a short time, over two thousand five hundred of them remained. At this rate, the Wolfkans would soon surround them and deal massive casualties.

For the sake of keeping true to the confident remark he told Isaac moments ago, Mu-Gun refused to just let that happen. He immediately made a thousand Thunderbolt Swords rain down from the sky through the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst, each one piercing through the Wolfkans heads and bodies. The swords then electrocuted them as they fell to the ground.

After annihilating a thousand Wolfkans, Mu-Gun used the same technique again. Having already witnessed it before, the Wolfkans quickly evaded as soon as they saw the swords falling from above. However, as if the swords could see them, the swords changed trajectories as well and chased after them.

Taken aback, they tried to defend themselves using their fangs and claws instead, but their resistance proved useless. The golden Thunderbolt Swords easily shattered their defenses, stabbed through them, and released golden lightning that fried their brains and ruptured their hearts.

With only five hundred Wolfkans left, Mu-Gun sent just ten Thunderbolt Swords flying toward the remaining enemies instead of using the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst again. Through Sword-Qi Link, Mu-Gun used them to break through the monsters defenses and smash their heads one after another.

Meanwhile, the two Knight Orders clashed with the surviving Wolfkans.
