Chapter 216 – Naa → Rock! I→Rock! (7)
Kang! Cagan! Chaaaaagh!
“Ughhhhh!”
Screaming in pain from a straight cut across his chest, he kicked the kneeling man in the head, completely incapacitating it, and Noubis wiped the sweat from his cheeks to catch his breath. She was almost invincible in the desert where the hot sun was scorching, but since she lived only in hot places every day, she couldn’t adapt to such a cool place. .
“Whoa, whoa…! Report your situation!”
“This side… They’ve all been subdued!”
“This side is also subdued!”
“This side too… Just like that, this is the end!”
Landfill’s combatants were able to adequately confront despite the sudden surprise attack of Justia followers thanks to receiving response and combat training according to various situations from their teacher Ragnar Armageddon, and thanks to that, the damage was considerably minimized. . However, the most decisive reason was that this chaotic battle ended with less damage than expected.
“General Nubis… Look over here.”
Esk, one of her cadre, who had fought alongside her Nubis, leading her combatants, called out to her, pointing the tip of her sharp sword at one of her enemies who had broken her to the floor.
“This…”
At the ghastly look one of his fallen foes was doing, Nubis frowned. As she remembered, this one had been pierced in the side by her spear and was rolling on the floor, unable to fight. Although he didn’t kill it completely, it was because he was in a hurry to stop one more fanatic wielding power at civilians while he had time to check and kill each enemy who couldn’t move properly. But the man who had apparently been alive the last time she saw it, was now miserably dead.
It is like a tree that has been deprived of all nutrients and has withered and twisted.
That absurd appearance, which no one would suspect even if it was claimed to be a mummy as long as it was wrapped in bandages, did not look like it would come out if left alone for a while with a spear piercing its side. A figure whose strength was forcibly squeezed by something, and as a result, even the energy to breathe was taken away and died of exhaustion. However, among the enemies and among the allies, there was obviously no one who had the power to forcibly take someone’s life force.
“What do you think?”
“…I’ve seen something like this before. Yes, maybe… He was chosen by a warrior god. The god who chose him wanted his fighter to always win, but in the end he was defeated by me. , The warrior god took back the power that had been sown on him without any hesitation. Not only the power, but also the life. The figure of this person now is similar to that warrior who was abandoned by the god then.”
“Then…”
Before Esk could finish his sentence, something unexpected happened.
“Ugh, gaaaaagh!”
“Heuuuuugh?!
The enemies, who had been defeated in battle but still with their lives attached to the floor, rolled on the floor screaming in agony all at once, and their bodies gradually began to dry out. When the terrifying sounds that resonated everywhere finally stopped, all those who were aiming for Landfill were lying coldly, with faces like fruits squeezed out of all the juice. Seeing the sight so horrific, Nubis raised his head with a sob.
“My God… What the hell is going on…”
*
Jormungand, the second son of Loki’s children, is a monstrous serpent large enough to wrap itself around the world.
When his eldest son, Fenrir, was gagged with his mouth pierced with a sword due to a prophecy about Ragnarok and bound by magic shackles made by a dwarf, he was thrown into the sea and waited for the day of revenge.
That Jormungandr, with his own body, blocked Justia’s huge sword that rose from the lunar sea and fell toward Loki. The terrifying eyes of the monstrous serpent, which harbors fierce hostility toward the gods, hardened the goddess of justice.
Justia’s strength is optimized for dealing with humans, but it was useless in front of monsters of uncommon size, such as Jormungand. An attack you can’t defend against and your wounds won’t heal? Even so, Justia’s attack was for Jormungandr, and it was nothing more than stabbing with a very small needle. In other words, among Loki’s children, the monster Justia can’t be sure of victory is right in front of her eyes.
[…Goddess of Victory! And Goddess of Fate! What are you looking at?! Hurry up and help me!]
You can never win alone. Having made such a judgment, Justia hurriedly asked for help from her two goddesses who had followed her, but…
[The goddess of fate had already fled when Loki appeared.]
Only the goddess of victory remained there.
[What…?]
[The goddess of fate is hated by most of the gods because of the mistakes her ancestors committed.]
In mythology, most of the tragic prophecies were caused by the actions of those who tried to escape that fate and took their lives. And the fact that Loki’s children were rejected by the gods was due to the prophecy that they would cause the final war, Ragnarok, which would bring about the end of the gods. Even if it wasn’t something the modern Goddess of Fate did, the victims weren’t rational enough to consider even such trivial things in detail.
[If Loki came himself, there’s nothing strange about his children coming with him.]
[Damn it, that bitch…! In that case, Victoria, join the battle! You must not have forgotten that I have this scale, right?]
With my daughter Justia shouted, showing the scale she was holding in her hand.
[You should have made a pact with me! In exchange for me returning this scale to the Goddess of Equality, you help me this time only! So that I can win, hurry up and help!]
[It seems that you are making a big mistake.]
However, it was Loki, not Victoria, who responded to Justia’s desperate attempts. He let out a sneer as he stroked the beard growing on the tip of his chin.
[It seems that many people are mistaken, but the power of the goddess of victory is that she does not necessarily win those she is with.]
[…?!]
[Her power is to recognize the winner. No matter how adverse the situation, if he is destined to win in the end, she will know it in advance. In other words, she knows who is going to win before the fight even starts, she’s on the side of the victor, she doesn’t have the power to make sure the loser wins. I never thought I would have recruited her as my ally without knowing that. And that by deceiving the Goddess of Equality and staking the extortion money in exchange for her?]
Loki’s smile gradually grew colder. As if the punishment she had to receive from her increased even more.
[So, what was that about! After all, Victoria, you have no choice but to take this scale from me for the sake of the Goddess of Equality! If you don’t help me right away, I’ll destroy this god in front of everyone! Then, having lost the source of her power, she will soon lose her divinity. You wouldn’t want that either, would you?]
[…Under. I get it.]
The goddess of victory was reluctant, and she had no choice but to comply with Justia’s command. It is not known whether following this promise of hers would really return her scales to her Goddess of Equality, but her threat to break her scales if she did not follow her now was unmistakably true. Originally, people who had nothing to lose were the scariest, and Justia, who had already risked a major accident at the risk of her own, would grow her work as it grew, but she had no intention of quitting and going back now.
Victoria, the goddess of victory, has descended from the space of fantasy into the realm of her dreams.
The stage is the sea of the moon.
The goddess of victory and the goddess of justice.
And on our side, Siwoo Jung, the hero who saved Atipia and other worlds, and I, the great villain, the apostle of the evil god, Hel, the goddess of death who declared me a slave, Jormungand, Hel’s brother, and Loki, the father of the two.
Neither numerically nor qualitatively are they pushed back at all. However, I was still not relieved. Despite the fact that Loki’s attack, which he gathered his stored power from his followers and released with more than usual output, was cut from his son’s line, let alone Justia, Justia still had ‘the eyes of a person watching the victory’. If so, that means you might still be hiding something…
[Hey, my daughter Chaegan bastard.]
Hearing that bloody voice filled with murderous intent, I moved my neck creaking and barely looked at Loki’s face. Of course, it wasn’t long before I had to lay my eyes on the floor.
[If it were a different situation, I would have done what you did first without looking back, but… I’m not in that situation right now, so let’s move on. Instead, I’ll check to see if it’s okay to take my daughter.]
Just when I wondered what this was all about, Justia’s hand moved and the scale she was holding rang out with an occasional, clear sound.
[This scale, sacred to the Goddess of Equality, contains her power. And the power of the Goddess of Equality… Is to make both sides equal in terms of one’s standards. So, if this side is at a disadvantage, as it is now…]
When
The clear sound echoed once more, and soon a golden line emanating from the scale divided the power here. Me, Siwoo Jung, and Hel, Loki, and Jormungandro.
[It means that you can intervene so that conditions are equal.]
“…!”
I wondered why he suddenly said something obscure to see if it would be okay to take his daughter. Did he mean this?
It makes both sides equal. In other words… It’s not very fair for Hell, Jormungand, and Loki to fight together on this side, so I’ll put those three aside to adjust the balance… Only me and Jung Si-woo should fight against Justia and Victoria?
“Fuck, this is an equal condition no matter where you look at it. Does fairness mean something else to your brain?”
Two humans to defeat two goddesses? Is this a fart?
“It’s useless. The condition of fairness is based on the personal judgment of the person holding the scales… No matter how unfair we shout, if the person holding the scales judges it to be fair, there is no way.”
“Damn it.”
Since I died once and came back to life, my body was fully recovered, and Jeong Si-woo also recovered all of his wounds and fatigue with the demerit of 〈 Simui – Reward 〉. But even at its best, to win against God…?
The fact that she defeated Hel in the world of Luminous was only because she had descended as an incarnation into the body of Viola, her sorceress, in an advantageous situation, and had never actually fought on equal terms with a god. I have always fought in favorable conditions and only in advantageous ways. To me, this situation was not very pleasant.
[Victoria. You take on Siwoo Jung. I will deal with that follower of the evil spirit with my own hands.]
[…Yes.]
Srrrr.
Holding her twin swords, the goddess Victoria pointed the tips of the swords toward Jeong Si-woo, and Justia walked toward me holding a huge hammer and a small dagger in each of her hands. Sheesh, is this how it ends? Justia, that bitch seems to want to kill herself somehow, as much as me, who is directly related to Nia. Or was it just that I was relatively easygoing compared to Siwoo Jeong, who had numerous Noble Phantasms and heroes. Either way, rather, this one is an illusion.
“It just worked out. I have a chance to pay back for all the hard work you’ve put me through.”
*
Player win. Whoever acts first must win.
As if to prove that statement correct, the first to act in a two-on-two battle was the goddess of victory. With one sword in each of her hands, she pounced on her. In response to Victoria’s swift and quiet raid, Jeong Si-woo hurriedly summoned a splendid shield with a red ruby in the center to defend against the attack.
“Kuu…!”
Chae Chaeng! Two sharp blades hit the shield, and before Jeong Si-woo could prepare for a counterattack, Victoria quickly stepped back and increased the distance. And once again she swung her sword with a remarkable feat of running swiftly and silently without making a single ripple on the surface of the water. As if dancing, in the natural trail of the sword, Jeong Si-woo hurriedly continued his defense.
[…!]
“Whoa! Whoa!”
Just because it turns out that Victoria wasn’t a goddess who necessarily led everyone to victory, she was a goddess who knew who would win in the end, didn’t mean that she was a mean, feeble-minded coward who would only stick to the side of the strong. Jeong Si-woo took advantage of Victoria’s flamboyant sword dance and watched for opportunities to counterattack, but when he felt he had an opportunity to attack even a little bit, Victoria pressed him by repeatedly opening and closing the distance so that his attacks could not reach him.
Kaaang! I’m going to go to the middle of the day…!
[Die, the damn puppet of the evil spirits!]
“Agari.”
Visor! Chae Chaeng! Kaaang!
The situation was not much different for Ragnar Armageddon and Justia. However, unlike Victoria, who was quickly pushing Jeong Si-woo, Justia was being swung by Rag or Armageddon. No matter how close combat was not his specialty, Rag or Armageddon, his combat sense was not so bad that he was struck by the blind sword that Justia recklessly wielded.
Justia’s power of punishment ignores her opponent’s defenses and leaves irreparable wounds. Their fights, which basically have at least one means of defense and recovery through magic or authority, tend to flow into long-term battles in which one side lasts longer decides the winner, and Justia’s attack, which can neither defend nor recover, is It was a weapon of conversion that ended the fight in a short time.
However, the most important thing in close combat is to measure distance, and the weapons handled by Rag and Armageddon had a much longer range than Justia’s hammer and dagger. While Victoria repeatedly approaches and retreats with her unique fast and smooth steps and pushes Si-woo Jeong without giving him a chance to attack, Justia uses a weapon with a longer reach than herself, thinking that she will win if she succeeds in one attack. He just wielded his weapon at random against the possessor.
[Keugh, damn it…!]
Justia bit her lip, revealing her nervousness. If she managed to hit the attack just once, somehow, she would have practically won, but she couldn’t possibly hit that once, so she was getting more and more impatient. If she tried to get any closer, she threw her spear to keep her in check and backed away from her, and if she got too far away she would keep pouring out ranged attacks, so she couldn’t help but get angry.
[Haaaaa!!!]
Occasionally, if you get very lucky and try to get close and attack.
“Asshole. Are you fishing for this?”
Bang!
With the sound of …, Her body was falling far behind. Ragnar Armageddon taunted her, laughing at Justia, who staggered and raised her body again. Just a moment ago, that intentionally aimed at an empty gap in the opponent to induce a large attack, and at the moment Justia caught the obvious trap and immediately attacked her body with ten guns summoned with 〈 Deliberation – Concentrated Fire 〉 He had put an explosive bullet in it.
“Are you going to continue? It’s not the person behind me, if you’re going to hit me like this, why did you have such an unbearable accident?”
[You… You don’t know!!]
Rising from the floor with her golden hammer, Justia raised her angry cry at Ragnar Armageddon.
[You have no idea how evil the demon you follow is! How many people do you think have fallen at the hands of that bastard? I set out to break that vicious circle, but why are you hindering me!!]
“You’ve been talking bullshit so dynamically since a while ago. What? Break the vicious circle? He went to visit the lesser gods who were weaker and younger than himself, tricked them, exploited them, and tried to get even the Amon Gods involved in a bullshit to achieve their personal revenge, but why? Are you interfering? Hey, isn’t that right?”
Ragnar Armageddon stared at her with her contemptuous gaze, as if she were bewildered.
“It’s true that Nia-san is an evil god who treats humans like toys, but isn’t it several times better than a bitch who treats humans like disposable items or tools like you?”
[I’m… A being worse than that demon…? Right now, I can’t cancel those words…!!]
“What if I don’t cancel?”
[Kill, throw away…!]
“Well, when was it possible but you’re talking like you didn’t do it on purpose?”
Justia raised her powers again. She restored her power by absorbing not only her authority that she shared with her followers, but also the life force of those who contained her authority. And with a ferocious swing of a hammer that had doubled her thickness from the start and a sword now too long to be called a dagger, she charged at Ragnar Armageddon. However, he, who had been scratching at her Justia’s temper as much as he could, had no intention of dealing with her head-on, with all his might.
“〈 Incarnation – The Beast Within〉.”
Aww woo woo…!
A terrifying cry resounded, and Ragna Armageddon, part of her body turned into that of a wolf, rushed towards Eustia who was attacking him. Justia was surprised for a moment by the change in her attitude as she herself closed her distance, but soon she finally landed her own attack. He said he could and swung her weapon in time for the collision. Without the slightest doubt.
And Ragnar Armageddon passed ‘through’ her hammer as she wielded it.
[What…?]
His body assimilated into the darkness continued to move in the direction she was moving, ignoring the attack she wielded with her full power. And at the end of it all was Jeong Si-woo, who used defensive magic, and Victoria, who was constantly pounding his defense wall with his sword.
[This, you cowardly bastard…! Fight fair and square!]
“Damn it.”
Grow up grow up.
Ragnar Armageddon laughed at her belated fumbling in pursuit of herself and swung her arm at Victoria, who had a wolf’s mark appearing above her head. Realizing that Rag or Armageddon was targeting her, Victoria crossed her swords in her hands to parry Armageddon’s attack, and in the meantime, Si-Woo Jeong, who had lifted her defense magic, directed her bow without arrows at the two of them. Pulled to the limit.
“Don’t you know that the original villain is cowardly?”
Ragna Armageddon smiled and spit out the words, and at the same time protected her whole body with 〈 Incarnation-Adam 〉, and she pursued Victoria and Ragna Armageddon, who were facing him and her arms, and Eustia, who joined later.. .
“Get away!!!”
Jeong Si-woo’s ‘bow that drops the sky’ unleashed a mortal blow that killed even the dragon lord in one shot.
