Chapter 57 - Midas

The time Inmo spent in this city made him realize how life finds a way to persevere. Even in such harsh conditions, these people could still lead a reasonably normal life.

If it weren't for Midas' hordes, they might have already rid themselves of the other monsters. But now, organized into a massive army, getting rid of them had become a daunting task.

So, Inmo decided to put an end to it when he found Midas. He would destroy all those monsters. This had gone on for too long; it was time for this age of myths and legends to come to an end.

Unfortunately for Inmo, Midas was dragging this war, aiming to win through the enemy's exhaustion.

Therefore, Inmo suggested a plan where he could go alone to the enemy army's lair and defeat them all by himself while they protected the kingdom in case Midas attacked while he was away.

Soon, Merlin stepped forward, saying he would go with him. Not long after, Diana also stated her intention to join. Of course, Franky didn't need to say anything; everyone could see he wanted to go with Inmo.

This caused confusion as no one wanted to stay behind to defend the kingdom, even though they all knew it was necessary. The plan ultimately failed, and Inmo gave up.

At least, that's what Inmo wanted them to think. During the night, he woke up and silently set out to carry out his plan, wearing a mischievous smile because it was the perfect crime.

However, his smile turned into a grimace when he couldn't even leave the castle properly; Franky appeared by his side, and shortly after, so did Merlin and Diana. Inmo ended up having to return to his room after that.

In the morning, Inmo was still in a bad mood while having coffee until the king joined them and delivered some grim news: Midas' troops could no longer resist and were launching an attack with all their forces.

At that moment, Inmo couldn't help but smile, and his mood finally brightened, returning to its usual self. The king might have found it strange, but he chose not to comment, thinking that Inmo was just another battle maniac.

Everyone organized themselves on the walls, mobilizing the soldiers to prepare for the defense. The quartet was quick to act and already on the front lines.

It was a sunny morning, and all the soldiers were now waiting for Midas' horde. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble and shake. On the horizon, everyone could see a sea of undead.

At this point, Midas and his army had already conquered six kingdoms. So, his horde of undead consisted of millions of bodies. The march of the undead was like a swarm of locusts, killing and consuming everything in their path.

Seeing the approaching enemy army, Inmo decided to enter his divine mode. Not as flashy this time, his body briefly illuminated, and his divine weapon appeared—a beautiful white spear with divine characters that appeared and disappeared over time.

His body blurred, and by the time everyone noticed, he was already among the horde of undead, killing everything that moved. His spear struck, shattering heads and body parts on contact. When it proved inefficient, the spear began emitting massive beams of light, obliterating everything in its path.

Even with so much destruction, the undead didn't stop for anything. They continued toward Inmo like a collective mind, moving with a single purpose: to kill Inmo, tear him apart, and consume his body.

Soon, their numbers overwhelmed them, and the tide escaped and headed for the city walls. Inmo now found himself in the midst of the enemy army. Even though Inmo's attacks covered kilometers and more, it wasn't enough to stop all these monsters.

Inmo briefly considered increasing his attack range, but he quickly dismissed the thought, fearing that it might spiral out of control.

Merlin began casting his magic; runes illuminated the sky as shadows appeared in the sky. Soon, fireball meteors descended, cutting through the clouds and falling onto the battlefield, killing many of the approaching monsters.

However, the monsters came too close to the walls for Merlin to use his mass destruction magic. He had no choice but to use his magic on a smaller scale, reducing the damage he could cause in the area. This allowed the horde of monsters to increase their speed.

It was then that Diana finally joined the battle. She didn't want to enter Merlin's attack zone, so she waited for her turn to strike. Finally, it was her time. She leaped from the wall, entering her maximum speed, along with her sword, she raced across the battlefield, killing her enemies before they could even perceive the breath of death on their shoulders.

Showing the true danger of a speedster, she could move freely across the battlefield. In an open field, her power was monstrous. She moved through the field, cutting down her enemies. a giant cyclops had no chance when Diana approached and made two cuts, then she was already far away, leaving a cyclops without both legs.

Just when things seemed under control, the enemy pulled a card from their sleeve, and from the sky descended winged monsters like griffins, harpies, basilisks, and others.

Among all these creatures, there was a Hydra that exuded terror and bloodlust. Its fifteen heads were like giant serpents, and its gray scales seemed like top-tier armor—a true war machine.
