Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 141.1

Baron’s sword struck the Guardian, who came in first.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The Guardian, who avoided the attack by a hair’s breadth, nervously waved his hand. Dozens of black blades flew from all directions.

However, Seira did not have time to confirm that Zion had opened the shield on time. This is because she was responsible for the Guardian, which invaded the second time.

As soon as she threw her silver sword Muror at the second Guardian, she rushed at him with Illuminum.

Whoo!

She wasn’t a Guardian who’d take an obvious attack to block her path, but she had a pair just as Baron had with Zion.

Squeak!

The Guardian’s arm, which was about to hit the Illuminum with tremendous force, was neatly cut off and flew away with black blood. It was Aven’s skill to kill his presence and get behind him.

Seira and Aven weren’t greedy and widened their distance for now, though it seemed like an opportunity to end the Guardian struggling with pain. Immediately after, countless blade-like thorns sprouted from his body. They might’ve been seriously hurt if they hadn’t stepped back in time.

When dealing with the Guardian, the first priority was to find out what his specialty was. If you ignored it and rushed in, you could lose your life without knowing how you were beaten.

The third Guardian was fought by Calrad and Cyril Glad, taking advantage of their experience of matching up in the 12th round of subjugation.

There were only three offensive groups. The rest chose to focus solely on defense, but when the offensive group joined, they switched to offensive and took out enemies one by one. This was done to minimize meaningless sacrifices as much as possible.

The reason why this method worked was because of each other’s positions, which were the opposite of the subjugation war. If the purpose of the Guardian guarding the nest was to get rid of the invaders, all they wanted now was to get their treasure back. It didn’t mean that they would let go of the disruptors at all, but they couldn’t afford to kill them one by one.

If it weren’t for such a special situation, the two of them wouldn’t have even dared of taking on one person at a time.

Angkoras who were startled by the battle surrounding the castle, looked back as they jumped around, but they were already doing their part. The number of intermediate to low-level beasts stuck by the angkoras was disgusting, and the crowd gathered here was overwhelming.

‘…Guardians first. The rest comes later.’

By the time Baron and Zion had taken the first Guardian’s breath away, then groups had already been in battle. There was no time to spare because it was obvious that high-level beasts would soon start following the Guardian. They had to reduce the number of Guardians as quickly as possible. Seira and Aven also finished the second Guardian on time with their fierce collaboration, and immediately removed the fifth one from the defense group. Even though they were devoted to defense for just five minutes, there were already several casualties.

Even knights above expert level, who had a lot of experience in subjugating, were so powerless against the Guardian. So, whenever she heard a scream somewhere, Seira couldn’t help but look towards Askan’s vassals, especially Mailin and Lucy.

Although she generously taught swordsmanship and mana training methods that were only passed down to Askan direct lineage, it would be nothing more than self-defense for Omegas, who had no combat ability at all. If they were to get caught up in the Guardian’s special ability…

Thump!

As she was throwing an attack with her concentration disoriented, she failed to grasp the path of the 13th Guardian and collided strongly with him.

“Ugh…!”

Even though she strengthened her body by exercising her power, something fishy flowed backward through the esophagus.

“Seira!”

It was none other than Baron who snatched her in the air as she was thrown away.

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes, I’m fine.”

Instead of spitting out blood, she tried to swallow it and answered, and a sigh of relief poured over her head.

“Okay, don’t overdo it.”

Listening to Baron’s worried voice, Seira hurriedly confirmed Aven’s location. Under Aven’s feet, standing with his sword hanging down and looking this way, the fifth Guardian they were originally dealing with and the thirteenth Guardian, who collided with Seira, rolled on top of each other.

‘…?’
