# 233
233. After the ending (4)
the whole sky was engulfed in flames.
The air shuddered as the clouds dissipated and the gunfire exploded incessantly.
Airships pouring artillery fire are not dozens of units.
hundreds at least. The cannons forged with a high level of magic technology that could not be compared to those of low-level masters spewed out fire without a break.
[Fire!]
Puff puff puff!
At the same time, the wizards who were preparing to cast in the fleet continued their second attack.
The whole sky turned red as if there were fireworks.
“It’s a wild welcome. Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the enemies of your world with the shells you use against me?”
Even in the roar, Raskanda’s murmur could be heard clearly.
And let the fire, which seemed like it would never end, dissipate. Amidst the flames, Laskanda’s figure was slowly revealed.
“…”
Raskanda fluttered the wolf fur coat she was wearing.
The embers that remained in the sky disappeared as if they were extinguished.
Of course, he wasn’t even hurt.
“Those airships…!”
The ghost’s eyebrows went up.
The appearance of Raskanda did not change, but the appearance of the airship he rode changed.
The small airship, which was similar to a ferry, had been changed to a super-large airship close to hundreds of meters.
A size comparable to Niflheim’s flagship. A flag with a red swirl pattern was fluttering above the streamlined hull, which was tinged with light gold.
‘That mark… belongs to Dorado.’
The engraving on the flag is the crest of El Cid, which awed the masters of the previous server before I distinguished myself in Pick Me Up.
“This is my last adventure.”
El Cid unfolded his wolf fur coat.
“Let’s begin.”
Kurung!
A violent storm blew from the hem of El Cid’s cloak.
A storm enveloped his airship and spread to the rear.
In the midst of the storm, shadows slowly emerged one by one.
‘The strongest of 7 stars.’
There are fewer than 5 7-star heroes in Pick Me Up.
Each one of them was strong enough to be compared to ordinary heroes, and each had abilities close to those of a transcendent. Even Niflheim, who boasted of being undefeated in PVP, were the ones who made them think of defeat.
Among them, Raskanda El Cid, the first and strongest of the Seven Saints.
When I was on Earth, I tried to find out his specs in every way, but in the end I failed.
Even Yurnet’s investigations yielded only fragmentary results.
‘They say he’s a king.’
I remembered Yurnet’s words.
‘It is said that a world is contained within his body.’
And the storm lifted.
El Cid opened his eyes wide.
Behind them, heroes in dazzling armor were lined up.
[Danger!]
[Army of Conquest Lv.???] X 1024
[Super Large Airship ‘Himena’] X 1
‘Contains one world inside its body.’
At first glance, when I heard Yurnet’s report, I had an idea.
If he’s a true 7 star, he might have that ability.
‘It seems to have been the correct answer.’
I narrowed my eyes.
They are the heroes who conquered all the stages of Dorado together with El Cid.
They were the elite of elites who had gone through countless battles.
Hero Summon ability.
El Cid seems to be able to bring out the heroes he ate.
In other words, that guy itself meant that it was an army.
“yet again!”
El Cid opened his eyes wide.
“Once again. Run for Dorado!”
Dorado’s heroes raised their weapons.
Looking at it simply, it seemed like the troops were responding to the commander in unison, but I didn’t miss the fact that their eyes were blank.
‘There is no reason.’
They are puppets that only follow El Cid’s orders.
It must have been unavoidable since he lost his personality during the synthesis process.
“It’s an abominable play. He even uses his colleagues as chess pieces!”
The ghost murmured.
“The author has another purpose? I can’t believe it! It must be to satisfy his own self-interest. Confucius, give me your permission. I’ll cut his throat right now…” “Be still. Master’s permission is still there
. It didn’t fall.”
“But…”
“If this is breached, Niflheim will deal with that guy. You haven’t forgotten the promise, have you?”
At my words, Wiryeong became a mute who drank honey.
Eventually, Wi-ryung lowered his head and clenched his fists.
“…sorry.”
“Be quiet and watch.”
I crossed my arms.
The army of conquest that appeared with El Cid’s command.
It must be the strongest ability as a single hero.

Giggling papa] You summoned your minions? It’s about 1000 people.
lSSSELAM] 1000 people? How many are we? If you add the heroes, it will be about 100,000? lol!
Rusty Heart] Still, it’s a good number compared to the previous Walle boss. At that time, it came out in thousands.
The punitive forces were not taken aback even if the first artillery bombardment went back to nothing and even if El Cid brought out a thousand guards.
It was a common occurrence for World Raid-class bosses. The subjugation party was rearranging its ranks based on the leading ranker fleet.
‘Not one or two.’
Only 15,000 masters participated.
That number is still growing rapidly.
Compared to the airships and heroes of the punitive force that filled the field, El Cid’s forces were mere specks.
“At that time, there were enemies all over the horizon. Doesn’t it remind you of old memories?”
El Cid looked back and said.
But no answer came from anywhere.

Iklios] Come on! Those who are targeting Hwang Bo-sang, please follow my control! My name is Iklios, number 16 in the rankings! If you listen carefully, Noraeng will feed you. Please refrain from chatting from now on. Please follow the order properly.
Melt] Who are you, are you giving orders? Where is Loki going?
Iklios] Loki-sama didn’t participate because he was busy. I am the highest ranker among the subjugation squad here. I’m inexperienced, but I’ve been participating since the first month.
I’m sick] First of all, follow what he says. He’s an ally with me, and he’s doing well. You can trust and leave it to us.
The subjugation team began to move little by little while creaking.
The troops advancing now belonged to the masters who were aiming for the ‘golden treasure chest’ that could be obtained when a certain amount of points were contributed to the raid. Although more than half of the subjugation party were scarecrows who participated only to put spoons like Amkena, the other half was clearly aimed at subjugation.
The force consisted of over a thousand airships and tens of thousands of heroes.
The army of conquest, which consisted of a super-large non-empty ship and a thousand heroes, seemed infinitely shabby.
“Sometime, come in and see.”
El Cid looked forward and narrowed his eyes.
A fleet large enough to fill the sky was approaching Dorado’s flagship Jimena.
On the side of the airship, thousands of gunfire simultaneously revealed their mouths.
ensuing bombardment. The sky once again turned red with screams.
Although it is said to be a high-class Magic Cannon, it clearly had limitations.
An opaque barrier spread in front of Jimena, and the shells were easily removed.
‘It’s just a check anyway.’
It was a precedent event that happened every time a raid took place.
First, it is to tie the enemy’s feet with thousands of cannons.

Iklios] If you look at the top of the screen, there is an airship map of the enemy. I divided them into teams and assigned them. You can get off there and occupy the area assigned to you. Our engineering team will infiltrate the inside of the ship.
Then surround the enemy from all sides.
Hundreds of airships surrounded Jimena and slowly approached.
Kwajijik!
A large airship about 100 meters in height, which was at the head of the subjugation party, crashed into Himena’s defense wall with its bow.
There was the sound of something ripping and the barrier shattered.
[Dimensional Channel (Advanced Only) – 58 participants]
Iklios] Go now.
The heroes of the subjugation party waiting on the deck jumped all at once.
Like a swarm of flies, they clung to the deck of Dorado’s flagship, Jimena, and drew their weapons.
Chakang!
The heroes of Dorado cut dozens of vanguards who were descending in an instant.
Their nimble movements and excellent workmanship deserved to be called the elite. ‘ Simple
but effective’
Pushing with an overwhelming amount.
No matter how much it is a world raid, there is a limit to the number of Jjool summoned by the boss.
There were slight changes depending on the type, but all the world raid bosses that have appeared so far have bowed to this tactic.
From above, from the side, from below, even at this moment, dozens of heroes were infiltrating the Himena.
Heroes who use swords, heroes who use bows and magic, and even those who use unknown weapons. Its characteristics varied greatly from hero to hero.
“…”
El Cid was standing tall at the head of the flying ship, looking down at the flying ship that had become a battlefield.
‘still.’
He’s not the #1 hero for nothing.

Callade] Are they really strong? Isn’t that a hundred per day?
Dog 19] According to the setting, they are the top ranker heroes. It seems to be much stronger than the average 6-star level.
YOLO] ㅋ.ㅋ You did a good job not telling me.
The subjugation party that landed on Lake Jimena is being slaughtered.
Level 99 with a 6-star rating. Probably the basic conditions between the two factions are similar. However, the heroes of El Cid were pushing the subjugation force despite the overwhelming difference in numbers.
‘Of course.’
Even at the same level, there was bound to be a difference between a master’s hero who was raised carelessly and a master’s hero who was nurtured under thorough planning and management.
Moreover, El Cid was a ranker who was attracting attention for his near-perfect hero selection and development even before I became a ranker.
His troops will be of a different level from the heroes of ordinary masters who reached the highest level.

Iklios] Keep pushing. There are still more of us.
Even though Jimena’s deck was stained with blood, the subjugation party continued to land heroes.
When one party dies, the next one. If that party dies, start the next party again.

Iklios] Just reduce the number of jjol slowly. You can hit the boss when you need to.
Sugak!
The upper and lower bodies of the three heroes rushing at El Cid fell apart.
As he swung the silver longsword in his right hand, drops of blood splattered across the deck. They have come to attack El Cidman, ignoring the forces.
And finally, victims began appearing on the El Cid side as well.
A man surrounded by 18 punitive forces collapsed with swords and spears stuck all over his body.
Next, a woman with a bow and a young man wielding a halberd were killed.
“Asgard, Dazzuljin, Jeran.”
El Cid lowered his eyes.
At the end of that line of sight were corpses strewn with blood.
“You are not going to die here.”
thud!
He slammed his longsword into the deck floor.
At that moment, the hole in the corpse’s body disappeared. The golden armor, which was broken and smashed in places, was restored as if it had never been.
“…”
The three corpses staggered to their feet, holding weapons that had fallen on the deck.

Iklios] Huh? Resurrection?
The guy who gave the order seemed flustered.
[Dimensional Channel (Advanced Only) – 58 participants]
Iklios] Things get a little twisted when you keep reviving;
JuJeon] Wouldn’t it be a loss if you hit it like this?
no
I shook my head.
I know one, I don’t know the other.
The hero of El Cid’s side has definitely been revived.
But…
[Danger!]
[The one who conquered fate]
[Laskanda El Cid Lv.622]
I looked at the name tag floating above his head.
The displayed level is 622.
But the first level I saw
was… ‘658.’
level is lowered
That point is after he calls out his hero.
When the fallen hero was resurrected, the number dropped once more.
‘It seems that he is using his ability while cutting his strength.’
