A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 108 (Part 1)

“Am I going to be used as a sacrifice? After over 300 years together!”

The thorn monster roared in frustration, and the tentacle monster, who had been watching, lifted its black tentacles as if to defend itself.

“Kabien, don’t feel unfairly treated. If you had killed that human, you wouldn’t have been used as a sacrifice. This is entirely because you were weak. So, die for me.”

“Ugh… It’s been over 200 years since I appeared in this world…”

Fwooosh!

“Fire? Was it this creature that set the city ablaze?”

The tentacle that pierced through the creature named Kabien turned red and burst into flames, emitting an intense heat that made his face warm.

As Kabien burned, the tentacle creature smiled as if satisfied with the sight.

“Hehehe! I should have done this sooner! Finally, I can perform the ritual!”

“Using a corpse as a sacrifice?”

“Kaiyan, the creature absorbed mana from the thorn monster through its tentacles! Be careful!”

When Kaiyan had doubts about its actions, the voice of Rieka, who had temporarily avoided the poison, reached him.

Focusing his senses, he could feel that mana was being absorbed through the tentacles that pierced Kabien’s body, just as Rieka had said.

“Absorption… I guess they’re gathering mana for some kind of ritual.”

While Muliaron was dead, he had done something with the bodies of the knights. Now, he was absorbing mana in this way from the bodies.

Poor knight, even in death, he was being used as a sacrifice by the creature.

Swish!

Gripping the sword tightly, Kaiyan took slow steps forward. The creature, which had been laughing manically, turned its head and looked at him with its large, dark eyes.

“Hehehe! Do you intend to challenge me? Even now, if you show submission and run away, I might spare you. I’m in a very good mood right now!”

A maniacal smile.

If this creature had a human appearance instead of its monstrous form, just looking at it would send shivers down one’s spine. There was no sanity left in someone who smiled like that; such people were far from normal.

“…There’s no need for me to flee, I’m killing you here.”

“Is that so? Then…”

Swish!

Several of the creature’s black tentacles detached from its body and fell to the ground, gradually increasing in size, just like how Kabien had inflated its spikes earlier.

Realizing that he couldn’t just wait like before, Kaiyan quickly approached the creature.

“Have fun with my offspring while I finish the ritual! Kyahaha!”

“Kiyaaah!”

“Kruuuh!”

In an instant, the expanded black tentacles split open, spewing out several black humanoid figures that resembled the creatures they had faced earlier.

Sensing them, Kaiyan estimated that they were at the level of low-tier experts.

“Four of them… I need to take them out quickly and capture the creature!”

As soon as he made up his mind, he swung his sword broadly.

Fwoosh!

Two of the black humanoids were split in half by Kaiyan’s Aura-infused sword, spraying black blood just like the creatures they had encountered before. They were significantly weaker than the monsters they had faced earlier.

“Kiyaaaahahaha!”

“Regeneration?”

Clearly, the creatures that had been split in half by Kaiyan’s sword regenerated in an instant and viciously attacked from both sides.

No matter how impressive their regenerative abilities were, it was perplexing to see them easily regenerate even when they were bisected by Aura.

Somehow, the tentacle monster with a self-assured expression on its face took a step back.

“It’s pointless even if they regenerate! Powerful downward strike!”

Kwaah!

Before the black figures could react, Kaiyan slammed his sword into the ground, causing it to shatter, sending Aura waves flying in all directions. It was a technique that was meaningless against strong opponents but useful for dealing with weaker beings in large numbers.

It was a suitable technique for massacring the black figures with combat capabilities at the level of lower-tier experts.

“Kiaaaah!”

“Krrrk!”

The black figures, impaled by the waves all over their bodies, emitted chilling, horrific screams. However, even this time, the black blood that flowed on the ground, as if reversing time, rose and began to regenerate the pierced wounds of the black figures.

Their combat abilities were meager, but their regenerative powers were exceptional to the point of being nauseating.

“…If this doesn’t work, there’s no choice. Blaze Armor!”

Using the saved Blaze Armor and activating the power of fire, a crimson aura surged from Kaiyan’s feet to his head, and finally, it naturally blended into the Aura wrapped around his sword.

Fwoosh!

“Completely burn them so they can’t regenerate!”

Blaze Armor excelled in magical defense, but this time, it was not for defense but for offensive enhancement. It was used for this purpose because even when the Thorn Monster spread poison, Kaiyan attempted to use Aura to defend, not Blaze Armor.

“Keeeek!”

“Burn them down!!”

Kaiyan spun his body around, swinging his sword vigorously at the monster offspring rushing recklessly. Even without using Aura’s swing, flames engulfed the monsters as he swung the sword.

Fwhaaaack!

“Keeek!”

“Trying to regenerate? If you can!”

Despite being fairly resistant to fire, the creatures still burned fiercely, and Kaiyan swung his sword at them as if he were possessed.

He swung the sword vertically, then horizontally before the creatures were completely divided, and this time, the divided figures burned fiercely without regenerating.

“Whew, they’re… gone.”

*Ding!* [You’ve leveled up]

“…I see.”

Leveling up was evidence that they were definitely dead.

Thanks to that, his nearly depleted Aura, which he had only one-third remaining, and the slowly recovering stamina, were fully restored in an instant.

With his Aura recovered, he didn’t need to use the 1000G Elixir.

Feeling relieved by this fact, Kaiyan turned his head towards Canien.

“Now, just that one… What is it doing?”

The creature had dozens of black tentacles anchored to the ground and was pouring mana into the ground with its eyes closed. It radiated an immense amount of mana that could be felt even without maximizing his detection abilities.

Kaiyan couldn’t help but wonder how many knights the creature had killed to gather such an enormous amount of mana.

“…But why into the ground?”

Before he could ponder that question, Riaka, who had been far away, urgently approached.

“Hey! Rieka… The poison!”

“The poison has already disappeared! Kaiyan, we need to stop that guy!”

Upon hearing that the poison was gone, Kaiyan released his Aura and lifted Rieka.

“Why? What’s that guy doing?”
