Chapter 17 - Battle Of The Iron Mountain 1

"You are from another world…...now it all fits into places."

She said while thinking with her hands on her cheeks. After thinking for a bit, her head perked up in interest.

"That's why you are with that girl. She also had a divine skill that could tame any monster, and from the way I see, you are that monster."

She again turned thoughtful for a moment while mumbling.

"But someone as weak as her couldn't possibly summon you. I feel like I am missing something here."

Gregory's heart was beating so fast that it felt like a motor was running in his heart. While Mel was thinking about her sudden discovery, Gregory glanced at Han from the corner of his eye.

The skeleton monster was observing the girl with coldness in its hollow, empty eye sockets. When gregory turned he met his gaze as well.

After understanding the thought in his mind, Han nodded and grabbed the knife from his shirt.

Suddenly, the girl looked at him again and started talking to him.

"I think I get what's going on here."

After saying that, she pointed a finger at MC and continued.

"You were summoned here by that girl from another world. That's why you are so strong and have all these strange things. I don't know how that girl did it, but she did it, and the 'fealty of the summoned' skill made you her slave."

Han starts advancing toward the girl with slow steady steps, hoping to get her with one strike. So, she won't alert others outside. Oblivious to the situation Mel continued speakig.

"Don't worry, if you can do me one thing, I will free you."

A wave of excitement ran through Gregory's body as he told Han to stop with her hand. Then, barely containing his excitement, he asked.

"Do you have a way to break the effect of her skill?"

She smirked as she showed two fingers. "I have two solutions for your problem. If you help me, we can help each other."

Gregory perked up in interest. "What are the solutions?"

She stared directly into his eyes and said in a low voice.

"I have a friend who knows a way to break divine skills, but it's costly and might take a lot of time. Another one though..."

Gregory couldn't keep his excitement and blurted out, "What is the other one? Tell me."

She took a long breath and looked away. "We can meet my father, who has the divine-ranked dragon roar skill."

Gregory's mouth opened as he tried to register what he just heard. Then this own conscious strated calling him an idiot.

'Of course, Why the fuck didn't I think about that. Since dragon roar is a skill I can't copy it but if I can make someone use it on Sara, I might be able to kill her.'

He then frowned.'Even though I hate dragons, in this case, I have to discard my old grudges.'

After thinking things over, he glances at her again. "I don't care about the first option, introduce me to your father."

She smirked.

"Of course, if you will do one thing for me, I will help you."

Gregory asked without hesitation.

"What is it?"

Suddenly a viscious and terrifying smile creeped up onto her face. The smile sents shiverr fown gregopry's spine.

"I want you to destroy the Iron Mountain stronghold to the ground."

A Knight clad in silver / Blue armour looked at the summer sky while inhaling the aroma of the flesh burning. Today five brave young men stepped up to sacrifice themselves to power the holy shield of the iron mountain stronghold. Their painful screams mixed with prayers of the believers were the only thing that he could here for a while.

But suddenly something strange happened. He could hear something flying toward the stronghold at lightning speed. They were only a couple of miles away from reaching the stronghold. Derek panicked as he grabbed the sword near the bed and rushed toward the door.

He has even forgotten that his wife was lying naked on the bed. He opened the door and descended the stairs as fast as he could, then he ran through a medieval corridor that was lit by candlelight.

Then he came to the street to find the bell already ringing. Even though the bell indicates that the stronghold hold expect visiters with hostile intentions, everyne was waslkign through the street calmly. It was like they were completrly oblivious to the danger they are in.

'50 years of peace and safety does this to people.'

After thinking that, he ran to the wall with terrifying speed after using his wind skill.

[One with the wind = Increase the movements of the user by ten times.]

In a couple of seconds, he approached the massive behemoth of the stone wall and climbed it using a makeshift lifeline powered by weight.

When he came to the top of the wall's walkway, he saw a sight that he was not expecting. The soldiers were partying and drinking beer. They danced like monkeys with terrible moves. Half of them didn't even have their armour on. It was like they couldn't even hear the mighty sounds of the ringing bell.

He stared at the bizarre scene infrontof him with anger. Then he snarled, even spit flowed out of his mouth.

"Soldiers, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

As soon as the loud voice reached the ears of the sober knights, they stood up while shouting in unison.

"Commander."

Derek shouted again, this time louder.

"What are you doing? Don't you hear the bell? Are you deaf?"

The sober soldiers looked at each other while the drunken ones stared at Derek in confusion. From the crowd, a newbie came and voiced his opinion.

"But, Commander, it might be some low-level monsters like goblins or black wolves. This bell rings at least one hundred times a year, and not a single one of them has gone detect by a powerful monster. This time is the same."

As he heard the amateur's words, his anger reached its limit. He walked toward the kind man and punched him in the face. The force threw the skinny teenager to the wall and him. He collapsed to the floor unconscious.

Derek looked at the unconscious soldier whom he had just knocked out, and looked at the other scared soldiers. They all avoided his gaze while shivering.

Derek sighed.

'Commander'

[Commander [ Unique ] = Can command a crowd of people and make them follow your orders. They will obey the command if they fear or respect the user. The group of commanded people's unity and effectiveness will greatly increase while this ability is active. The people will be stronger, faster and more durable. Some of them will even have increased mana capacity. [Nigh]]

"GO TO THE WALL. WEAR YOUR ARMS AND MAN THE WALLS."

Suddenly everybody got busy. Drunk people had turned sober and was wearing the armors n a hurry. All of the people present worked efficently and quickly. After that each took a bow and manned the walls.

Derek walked toward the wall and stared into the distance, trying to figure out what was making his mind uneasy. A couple of magicians were busy loading the magic cannons near him. While he was searching the boundless sky, he heard a whisper.

"Man, this is so fucking stupid. It is probably some goblins, and we are here guarding like idiots."

"I think the commander has seen a nightmare."

"Poor Thomas, that bastard couldn't keep his mouth shut."

"I mean, nobody has the balls to attack the iron mountains, NOBODY."

Suddenly another shiper entered his ear, this one was more tense and scareed. "What the fuck is that? Is that a flyin ship?"

Gregory tensed up and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing.

After that, everything went wrong.
