Chapter 98: The Army of Death

The march progressed smoothly for three days, and we reached a point where we could see the castle of Ozuma. But from there, we couldn’t advance any further.

“They were prepared as well… Well, that was to be expected.”

Even from a distance, it was clear that the castle’s outskirts were lined with Yomi’s army. Not only were there the usual Yomi soldiers, but there were also those over 5 meters tall, as well as Yomi beasts, all with different types and appearances.

“It’s not just the numbers. And that one in the middle seems to be different from the others.”

Rakul, using a telescope, pointed out a gigantic creature about 10 meters tall. It looked like a Yomi beast in human form, standing with a massive spear larger than its own body.

“…It’s been a while since I’ve seen a giant like that. Maybe something like Daibolas?”

“Yes, and thanks to Serena, we were able to defeat it quickly back then…”

“This time, we have the united army leading the charge. It might be best to deal with it now.”

As Aria and I discussed this, I gave the order to gather the commanders. It seemed we would have to add another task before proceeding with the plan we had discussed earlier.

As the united army inched closer, the Yomi army charged toward us all at once. The ground trembled and dust billowed as their army advanced, and I stepped forward.

“Activate Dragon Armor, ‘Final Reach of Life, High End.’”

I donned the alabaster armor and extended my right arm. Using the High End’s power, which allows me to manipulate biological bodies and compositions for regeneration, I projected my thoughts into it.

I envisioned the large guns used by the Juggernauts I fought before, thinking that perhaps I could repurpose them into a weapon for breathing dragon flames. High End formed this image into reality, generating a long, dragon-headed gun from my right arm, from the elbow down. It was so large it could be considered a cannon, aimed at the giant Yomi soldier.

The dragon’s jaw glowed with alabaster light. Thanks to the prior arrangements, no one would be in the vicinity, so there was no need to worry about anyone behind me.

“‘Dragon of the Underworld, Níðhöggr.’”

The moment I fired, the dragon’s jaw released a blast of white light, and from its wings, more alabaster light surged, suppressing the recoil. The light devoured the advancing Yomi soldiers, erasing them as it moved toward the giant. Just as the giant attempted to block with its spear, the light consumed it, carving it down.

Immediately afterward, a massive flame slash and a rain of tree arrows fell on the other giant soldiers and beasts, halting their movements. As the giant Yomi soldier fell, a signal was given.

“The enemy’s front line has broken! All units, charge!!”

At the signal, the united army surged forward with a battle cry. I withdrew momentarily to regroup with Aria and the others.

Thus, the final battle against Yomi’s army began.
