Chapter 454 – Friend or Enemy (8)
Magic develops through understanding.
A magic circle that combines all the elements necessary to implement magic.
The role of each line drawn within the circle and the reason for its placement.
Every time you understand this one by one, the amount of magical power used in magic decreases, and conversely, the power increases.
The same goes for Meteor.
This great magic, which was discovered in an S-class dungeon in England five years ago, is currently evaluated as a magic that cannot be used alone.
This is because the amount of magical energy consumed to cast magic far exceeds the level of just a lot.
This is partly because Meteor itself is such a large-scale magic, but the biggest reason is different.
It means that the process of understanding is not being carried out properly.
New words that have not been discovered so far are used in the Meteor Magic Book.
Because of this, the process of complete understanding was not achieved, and the amount of magical power consumed became even greater.
In fact, as a result of a direct experiment conducted by the British royal family to determine how many wizards are required to use Meteor in its current state, it was concluded that 33 advanced wizards are required to use Meteor.
It is an abnormal number no matter how little the process of understanding has been completed.
To this, the wizards belonging to the royal family responded firmly.
Meteo is a magic that cannot be performed by one person from the beginning.
Then several rebuttals followed.
Isn’t the understanding process severely lacking due to their lack of research skills?
Instead of wasting precious magic, sell it somewhere else, donate it, etc.
Here, the royal family gets angry and commits a very serious accident.
Copies of the Meteo magic book were shared with all wizards of advanced level or higher.
Thanks to this, Kim Do-jin was also able to view the Meteo magic book very easily at home.
And he knows.
All the letters found beyond the dungeon are similar to the visible flow of magical power.
As a result, Kim Do-jin was able to read characters that were difficult for others to learn even after years of study, as if they were his native language.
What are the meanings of difficult words that hinder a complete understanding of Meteor?
The biggest obstacle among them is none other than the type of magic.
At one time, there was a heated argument over Meteor.
Meteor is the ultimate of earth attribute magic and the ultimate of fire attribute magic.
He learned the answer that could not be concluded due to poor information at the time.
“… “It wasn’t either one, right?”
Meteor was neither a persistent magic nor a fire magic.
It was written like this in the magic book.
It is called ‘summoning magic’ that ‘summons’ and drops meteorites floating in the vast universe.
No one considered Meteo to be a summoning magic.
No, although a few people raised claims, no one accepted them.
That’s because there is a strong perception that summoning magic is usually about summoning an entity to fight on your behalf.
However, summoning is not such a narrow concept.
To put it bluntly, if I summoned a single chopstick from home right now, wouldn’t it still be summoned?
So, summoning a meteorite can easily fall into the category of summoning magic.
Like right now.
「Meteor.」
It is clear that this magic is a very exotic magic.
If you draw a magic circle using magic, the passage will be connected.
High above the earth and the vast expanse of space.
A passage connecting the two.
At that moment, a meteorite passes through the passage and appears above the Earth.
And then it falls.
At a breakneck speed towards a pre-determined goal.
“Are you crazy?!”
Angela quickly pushed the Paladins back and scolded Kim Do-jin, who was still in the air.
“This is not a matter to just step back!”
She believed his words, and she pulled the line.
But this was not a problem that could be solved to that extent.
You can know it intuitively without having to do complicated calculations.
What happens when a meteorite the size of a large van falls from a great height?
“If that thing falls, we’ll all die, you know?!”
Die.
Everyone here.
“You’re going to burn down all that thatch just to kill one bedbug, you bastard?! “Can’t you hear me?”
“…”
My mouth was itching.
I would like to ask several questions.
Have you ever seen bed bugs that big and that many?
No, more than that.
“… Why on earth do you know our country’s proverbs so well?”
If that’s the case, shouldn’t her name be Ahn Jung-sook, not Angela?
Kim Do-jin, who smelled the strong Korean scent of her foreigner, smiled bitterly and shouted back at her.
“You said you wouldn’t let me die under any circumstances?”
“Hey, that’s… !”
“You just have to keep what you say.”
“That’s really…, Ah!”
Cancan!
Angela beat her armored chest in frustration
But it wasn’t wrong.
‘That bastard, how did you know?’
I didn’t cast the spell with the intention of killing everyone.
I was confident.
She is confident that she can protect all of her companions.
That made it even more difficult for her to understand.
‘Where on earth did you get such confidence?’
If it’s because of those words she said before the battle started, then he’s crazy.
Anyone can see that it means that she believed what she said to boost her morale.
But if not…
‘He might be scarier than I thought.’
He will become a crazy person with tremendous talent and a deep heart.
“Ha…, Okay, whatever.”
I got angry and yelled, but it’s not bad.
The situation was getting worse.
Because of their incredible resilience, they were even given the unsavory nickname “Paladin and Cockroach,” A combination of a paladin and a cockroach. They were almost at their limit.
If things continued like this, someone would have died or the operation would have failed.
‘If that were the case, I would no longer be able to dream of clearing out Gwangmyeong Bridge.’
It is obvious that an infested beehive will become more sensitive to vigilance in the future.
So I had to finish it this time.
Even if I do it with all my might.
“Huh… !”
Her energy swells at a breakneck speed.
It is not ordinary magical power, but a light brown colored power granted by the goddess of patience.
To put it simply, patience means to endure patiently.
Her goddess of patience, Pati Entia, gave her the power to match.
The power of protection that can protect oneself and allies from any threat.
She took out her best shield without hesitation.
“Sanctuary of Patience!”
A declaration of sanctuary that can only be used by apostles who have inherited the power of the goddess the most.
The Sanctuary of Endurance protects its allies from all kinds of threats pouring in around it.
Even if a nuclear weapon falls right in front of us, the people here are safe.
Angela, as long as her strength holds out.
She shouts.
“Everyone, never leave this area!”
At the same time, focus your attention.
The sight of a meteorite that was just a short distance away starting to land on the church building.
I can see the believers of Gwangmyeong Bridge in confusion.
“Uh, what should I do?!”
“Everyone who can put up a shield gather together!”
“Stop it! Even if we all die, the church… !”
They didn’t come forward to protect their own lives.
On the contrary, they only went out to protect the church building, even if it meant risking their lives.
This was due to the ideology instilled by the head of Gwangmyeong.
Prioritize yourself as the leader and Gwangmyeong Church above all else.
They were puppets that faithfully moved according to his will.
The leader, who was watching them happily, looked up at the meteorite falling from the sky and frowned.
“Tsk… “You’re using a nasty move.”
If things continue like this, quite a few believers will lose their lives.
They are nothing more than chess pieces that can be filled in as many times as anyone wants.
But there is no point in throwing it away like this.
“Stay back, brothers.”
He came down from the podium, pushed past the believers surrounding him, and stepped forward.
Sometimes people get mistaken.
Brain Washer.
His brainwashing characteristics are very scary, but because of that, his true powers are of little concern.
That’s why he puts his believers first and puts himself in the background.
Every time he heard such a story, he sneered.
‘Stupid things.’
This is a narrow-minded thinking that can only be done because one has not reached the level.
Why go out there when there are horses out there who will sacrifice their lives for you at any time?
Are you hiding behind it?
‘That’s funny.’
It’s just that they can’t see me because they can’t even penetrate the words they talk about so much.
If something happens to all of them or something they can’t handle, how can they not step up?
Like right now.
“This… “I don’t want you to lose strength.”
He smiled bitterly and awakened the great power sleeping within his body.
It’s just as the Guardians expected.
He is an apostle chosen by God.
The name of the god who chose him was ‘Pigritia’.
He is the god of sloth.
Sloth, which leads to the feeling of the Seven Deadly Sins, does not simply mean slow, lazy behavior.
This is rejection and negation.
A duty or task that is rightfully given or imposed on me.
The power to throw away everything that is constricting my life.
“Borderline of denial.”
The power radiating from the entire body builds a wall between the falling meteor and the church building.
As he said, this was a boundary.
A boundary that disallows all unnecessary intrusion that seeks to harm or oppress oneself.
Coo coo… !
A meteorite falls with a sound louder than thunder and reaches the border.
Then something surprising happened.
The enormous force created by the weight of the meteorite and the acceleration of its fall disappeared upon contact with the boundary.
Cleanly, as if it never existed in the first place.
Coo!
The meteorite, stripped of all its power, was reduced to an ordinary rock and fell shabby next to the building.
Kim Do-jin, who saw this, was caught by a strange feeling.
It was as if a carefully prepared gift for a loved one had been cruelly rejected.
‘What is this broken feeling?’
I felt like I was dumped before I even confessed.
