Level 0 Master

Chapter 42: Vol. 2 – Episode 16

They started their fight in the middle of the battlefield as King Ilkandi expected.

Just then, Ereka was reminded of Sungjin’s plan.

So Sungjin said that we should pretend to use recall right now...

Actually, she didn’t have to pretend. She couldn’t fight against King Ilkandi’s high-level army, so unintentionally, she was able to “act” naturally, and King Ilkandi chased her.

“Don’t give her time to return! Finish her now!”

“Don’t let them get you! We need to regroup to fight back!”

Ereka used recall while allowing King Ilkandi to hear what she was telling her army in order to make him chase her closer.

We are almost there...

But it was King Ilkandi who was smiling.

Now! Hahaha.

Ereka was planning to start a flood, but King Ilkandi seized the moment to wipe out his enemies.

“Gapelt! Now!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Not long after Sir Gapelt’s answer, a huge torrent came from the north, sweeping up everything in its way.

Kaboom!

The biblical torrent was more powerful than a human hero’s ultimate skill. The natural disaster didn’t care about your level or status and swept everyone away. Ereka’s army wasn’t fast enough and got caught in the middle of it.

Hmph. You were fooled by your own trick.

King Ilkandi laughed at Ereka’s poor judgement.

That’s what you get when you listen to a useless extra.

Sir Todam, a self-acclaimed historian, was writing his manuscript with real-time information from the battlefield.

“But his overconfidence caused his destruction. The demidevil from the other world was not able to claim victory with his lame tricks. Finally, the rule of level destroyed him miserably. His evil rulership was punished by the gods...”

He finally knew which one out of his two manuscripts to publish.

I need to move fast.

He ordered for one of his manuscripts to be published.

Chapter 11

He must be confused by now because the timing he was waiting for will not be coming. It will be the same for the other battlefields.

Eustasia had prepared for his predictable plans, and she was sure that since he wouldn’t be able to be on every battlefield, he would not be able to come up with a new plan for this situation.

Maybe it would be easier for you if you had a stronger force on your side, equaling ours.

She operated her forces simply because it was obvious she had the upper hand. Her plans were conservative because Sungjin’s side was much weaker. If they had equal power, maybe Sungjin’s plan would be a threat, but that was not the case in this battle.

This was the reality for an extra who tried to fight against the heroes.

It was not a fair fight, but she had no plan to make it fair and help him.

“Judgement!”

When she activated her second skill, the cutting power of her sword maximized.

It’s time to finish this.

Sungjin’s movements became slower; she was certain it was time for her to finish him. Without their commander, Sungjin, his army wouldn’t be difficult to destroy.

Eustasia’s sword started to shine in the sky.

The device he planted didn’t work, and he couldn’t destroy the tower.

Eustasia sentenced Sungjin to death, and him with her sword. That was the final judgment to finish the fight.

The sword of the extra was struggling from the ground, while the sword of the hero was attacking him from above.

The fight... finished with the cracking sound of a sword. Eustasia’s privileged flying sword was cracked.

Just like a window hit by a hammer, a tiny crack became many, and the sword shattered into pieces on the ground.

That was the end of her attack, while Sungjin was taking his time to catch his breath, a smile on his face.

The destruction of a weapon.

Sungjin was not struggling to fight against her sword; he was attacking her sword to destroy it.

The normal magic sword Eustasia was using to attack Sungjin couldn’t handle the power of the artifact, the Sword of Heaven’s Will. Sungjin constantly hit the same spot to the point where Eustasia’s sword couldn’t take it anymore.

It was a great plan. It went against the common thought of attacking someone’s body to weaken them.

When Eustasia realized it, she was shocked.

My sword... broke into pieces.

She couldn’t wield it anymore.

He was hitting one spot and pretending he was struggling to fight back...

She was so sure that she was attacking him unilaterally, but she didn’t damage him at all, while he was destroying her plan.

Destroying a weapon is not an easy task, especially when the weapon is flying. Did you... plant a time bomb to distract me from your plan...?

Soon, she admitted that she was tricked again by Sungjin.

I was tricked, but that won’t change the results.

She was still confident that his tricks wouldn’t be able to upset the overall result of the fight. Her side was so much stronger than his, so Sungjin was only able to narrow the gap by a tiny bit.

That must be what she is thinking.

Sungjin already knew what Eustasia was thinking and smiled.

Now, the real game is on.

* * *

On the east battlefield.

“Now, it’s time to finish her...”

Kaboom!

A thundering noise stopped the words of King Leoric.

“How dare you make such a sound to stop me!”

But it didn’t take long for King Leoric to find out who made such a thundering noise.

It was...

“The... mou... mountain...”

It was a collapsing mountain.

King Leoric’s jaw dropped, and even his straight beard that was once straight curled up in fear.

He didn’t have time to do anything.

A gigantic mountain was collapsing while an avalanche was wiping away everything. Compared to this power of nature, their ultimate skills were nothing more than the mere power of mortals.

They used their ultimate magic spell and had to defend against the ultimate magic spell of the enemy. Naturally, they had no power left to resist and were swept into the avalanche.

There was nothing left standing after the army of rocks and mud passed by.

Sir Linte, a knight of the Kingdom of Sevrantina, couldn’t believe what was happening as he looked at the scene from afar.

When Sungjin had Sir Linte’s movements recorded in order to make an Illusion Stone, Sir Linte didn’t understand the use of it. Sungjin also ordered him to stay at headquarters and just send wizards to the battlefield.

He thought he had to protect the wizards or try to stall for time by fighting in close combat; there were so many things he had to do.

He couldn’t imagine a victory due to an avalanche. It was an unimaginable scenario for him to win a battle because of a collapsing mountain.

Well, it’s not just me... nobody else would have been able to imagine this...

It was common knowledge that taking over the mountain in the middle was critical to winning on this particular battlefield. So Sungjin compromised the ground around it to turn the mountain into a gigantic trap. And on the top of his preparation, six wizards were attacking each other using their ultimate magic spells.

When Sir Linte was told that he just had to join the battle and follow Jenna’s order, he didn’t expect something like this.

The most scary thing about Sungjin’s plan was the forest that he fabricated to trick the enemy into the avalanche.

Sungjin made it look like he was trying to use fire to attack them.

He made it look like it was a double trick that also worked as an obstacle to stop them from taking over the Power of Wizard. But it was just a false trap. Sungjin wanted the enemy to believe they avoided his double trick. It was all just bait.

Sungjin was over and beyond anyone’s imagination.

Level 0... no, Master Sungjin.

Sir Linte was happy that he served with distinction, but at the same time, he was a little worried because he didn’t know what to think of this level 0 extra.

Is he a real devil from another world?

[The Blue Team has won.]

The Valkyrie’s announcement echoed in the battlefield.

So the east battlefield has been cleared.

While concentrating on his own battle, Sungjin was also calculating the status of the other battlefields.

Sun Tzu referred to a trap similar to this as, “crossing the sea with a trick” but what Sungjin used was more complicated and more refined for this battle.

Multi Trap—that was the name Sungjin gave to his own plan.

And the central battlefield...

...

The flood covered everything up.

Ereka and her army looked helpless at the wild torrent. The flood was too strong for a knight to resist using their Heroic Power.

Even if they survived, they would be severely wounded and killed by King Ilkandi’s army, who was left unharmed.

But then Ereka held her shield up in the air.

Her golden shield was given to her by the goddess of wisdom and protection. It was a blessing from the goddess to Ereka, who gave up her dream to be a normal girl to become a protector of her people.

She shouted out the true name of the shield, “Aegis!”

She was slender but stronger than anyone else, and she decided to put the happiness of her people over hers. And the goddess blessed her with the promise of protection.

Even nature bowed down to the light from her shield.

The flood found its humble self reflected by the shield and turned away. The light changed the direction of the flood.

The torrent rapidly changed its direction to wipe up the army of King Ilkandi in a second.

“Wh... what!”

That was it.

They didn’t even have time to think of doing something about it.

The flood wiped them up.

When the flood was gone, King Ilkandi was the only one who was still barely standing. It was easy for Ereka and the other knights to finish him. He was not even able to stand properly.

Then Ereka caught Sir Gapelt, who was hiding around the temple, waiting for his king’s victory.

[The Blue Team has won.]

The Valkyrie’s announcement echoed again.

Ereka praised Sungjin, who was fighting on the west battlefield.

You are truly amazing, Sungjin. Everything worked out as you told me it would.

“Looking at the records of King Ilkandi, he is experienced and also quite smart. I’m sure Eustasia will give him her advice as well, so he will try to predict or read my plan to use it against us.”

“So what is your plan?”

“When he thinks that he is about to use my plan against us, we will catch him off-guard. I will use that to attack him.”

“Can you explain?”

“Your artifact, the mystic shield, Aegis, the “Shield of all People” is not only for protecting your team, correct?”

“What do you mean?”

“I saw it at the fire last time, that you can cover a much broader area if you want to.”

“That is correct...”

“People think skills are used to attack a hero or defend themselves. So let’s use that common sense for a surprise attack.”

Now, all you need to do is to win on the west battlefield.

And he had to.

He didn’t think that it would be okay for them to win on two battlefields and lose on one. When Ereka asked Sungjin to concentrate on only two battlefields, he refused.

“No. We need to finish this war as quickly as possible. We need to finish it before Eldorado and Rupellion try to get involved.”

To secure their future, they had to win all three battles.

“Moreover, Eustasia approved of my abilities.”

He had to win all three battles as the basis for the unification of the continent.

Eustasia’s approval...

That hurt Ereka a bit. Sungjin really wanted to make her join his team.

I envy her...

But still...

Sungjin. I pray for your victory on the west battlefield so that you can create a world where the weak can have the right to live without being abused by the strong.

She prayed in silence.
