City Of Witches 399

Chapter 399 – #86_The Ball (6)

#397

One.
The clash of power that shook heaven and earth was over.

Bianca looked down at her dockyard as she floated in the sky.
To put it more accurately, it might be ‘it used to be a shipyard’.

The container ship, which boasted great majesty, was shattered as if it had thrown an elaborate miniature.
The dock below it is also submerged in the seawater due to the original Sungsung hole.

Archhart’s bow that shoots through space.
Its destructive force is beyond the scale of general physics, such as the law of conservation of mass.

Originally, the ship itself should have been destroyed.
It was normal that not only the ship but also the whole area would be caught in a storm and disappear.

“…….”

There is one reason why it didn’t happen.
The ribbon was used like a slingshot to shoot out red branches in a runaway state and the powerful distortion field caused by them caused an offset reaction, causing a magical neutralization effect.

But the difference in power was stark.
The night sky shot by Bianca suppressed the red flash and made it crash.
It was impossible from the beginning for an improvised javelin to overcome a magically perfect lethal court.

A man with his head hanging down was seen with his back leaning against the steel structure in the shadow of his observation.
Bianca flapped her wings lightly and her feet were already in two pieces, standing on the slowly sinking boat.

“It’s too bad.”

There is no reaction to him, who hangs his head like a corpse.

He was great until the end.
I intercepted a fatal blow that no witch had ever blocked.

However, even Bianca, who had no particular knowledge of force field magic, could recognize the level of her danger.
He was exposed to the powerful distortion field too long.

Breathing has almost stopped, and even now I can see my heart slowly dying.
Bianca has an elixir that can quickly heal any number of injuries.
Bianca, who briefly took out the ampoule to feed him, put it back into her bosom.

Even with the elixir, that injury is unreasonable.
From the outside, it looks fine, but from a magical point of view, the inside of the spiritual body has changed like crushed soft tofu.
Soon after, the beating of the heart stopped.
Unfortunately, even the red branches should be retrieved.

“What?”

A red branch that has been thrown away.
The unbelievable happened before Bianca’s eyes as she picked it up.

– Wriggling

Fingers that move very slightly.
At first, it was thought that the electrical signals remaining from the intense excitement were remaining in the muscles.

My heart obviously stopped.
Complete dilation of the dimly-facing pupils was observed with the observation eye.
It is already dead
Then.

“Why are you moving?”

Bianca looked at Shin Si-woo.
Shin Si-woo also saw Bianca.

2.
Sink endlessly
A vast and dark space.
Even so, the darkness that stroked her cheek and wrapped around her waist gave her a sense of coziness as if she had returned to her mother’s womb.

Ain.
The first gateway to the unmanifested Three Realms.
On the horizon, the magical history Siu wrote down was shining like a gigantic structure.

The accident that had been floating like his body had returned.

Ah….

The reason why I let out a devastated sigh was because at the last moment I remembered the pouring night sky as I swallowed the red branch.

The shattering sound of the magic that tore heaven and earth seems to still linger in my ears, but it is so quiet.
The incongruity is so ominous that it shudders.

Could this be death?
Fading towards the distant horizon.
I saw a magical structure that was too far away.

“Ah….”

Now the voice came out of my mouth.
Realized at the same time.

The fight is over.
The result is defeat.
The price is life.

Too bad.
If only I had thought of shooting the red branch a little faster.
If only I had conserved a little more mana.
If only I had worked hard on my studies and achieved magical achievements.

The remorse and regret that hangs over tail after tail.
The consciousness of sinking and submerging again.

At that time.
Siwoo noticed something unusual.

This is Ain, an abstract world that does not exist.
There is no chin that the end will exist.
Even so.
The floor is visible.

The floor, which Siwoo had never recognized before, was black like the surface of calm oil and spread out wide as if to halve this vast Ain.

Feet are locked
Calves are locked
Let’s go over the floor that swallowed his waist and chest up to his neck.

A world turned upside down has been revealed.
Another Ajin that exists as if upside down across the black surface of the water.

Dark shadows repeating change without rest.
The roar of the loom spinning like a giant machine.
Elemental particles that bloom and wither repeatedly and flutter endlessly.
A palace of memories made up of stairs and doors that extend finitely in an infinite subhuman.
A string of contracts clearly engraved in the sky.
A huge moon that governs the force field.
A fractal in the form of a huge tree stretching from the sky to the ground, harmoniously encompassing all of them.

There is a man hanging upside down in a structure incomparably harmonious with Siwoo’s.
He was Shin Si-woo.

15 ranks.
A state where instinct and magic are united.
The survival instinct to survive appears in the form of self-defense, and self-injury by magic does not occur unless the caster intends.

Shin Si-woo’s level has already exceeded the 15th rank.
The reason why self-defense didn’t work for him.

His instinct did not recognize the crisis so far as a crisis.
The moment Siwoo’s heart stops.
He finally realizes that he must move.

Ain turned over with a roar.
A world tilted from horizontal to vertical symmetry like a sinking ship.
Flip it over again to achieve horizontal symmetry.

God is cruel and does not present miracles.
Hence all miracles.

It must be an inevitability created by the intersection of causality.

3.
A witch is a mysterious being.
The degree to which the dead are brought back to life is not so noteworthy.

But his case was a little different.
Sasang’s observation eye was undoubtedly announcing Shin Si-woo’s death.
The fact that there were no other artifacts or devices for resurrection was also being dug up.

A mystery that happened without relying on magic.
No matter how much Bianca chewed, she couldn’t figure out how he would get up again or look this way again.

“Amazing. Did it happen You still have something hidden?”

Among Asians, black eyes and golden eyes are common.
Our eyes met with that odd eye.
Inorganic eyes that do not feel any emotions are like a deep abyss.

Bianca’s eyes narrow.

“You…. Who is this?”

Eyes with all emotions neatly castrated.
Different.
It’s not an atmosphere where you can change just by changing your mindset.

A shudder running down my spine without even realizing it.
Bianca flapped her wings and soared into the night sky as her shredded armor rebuilt herself.
Dozens, no, hundreds of ribbons soared toward Bianca, who was submerged in the sky.

His combat experience, his observational eye, and his inexplicable instinct warn him.
Something dangerous

Shin Si-woo, who Bianca had been dealing with so far, had a strong feeling that something was going on.
If you look at each of the magnetic magics individually, you have to set them high enough to be about 18 tiers.
Magnetic magic, which alone is insufficient, has been supplemented with another magnetic magic.

For example, shadows whose composition is easily disturbed can be used as ribbons through a loom or used as weapons by increasing the intensity with elemental magic.
In addition, since it is not a frontal power battle with a proper magic battle, it is balanced by adopting the heretical method of close combat.

In other words, she was an ambiguous halfway opponent to be called a proper witch.

But that’s different.
The composition of each ribbon is incomparably sophisticated and solid.
Although the number is small, the power itself is comparable to that of Ea Sadalmelik in its heyday.

Awakening after overcoming the crisis of death?
A new realization that came at the last moment?

It can’t be.
The world is not designed to be so nice and kind.
Then, how should we interpret the overwhelming difference in power that seems to have turned into a different person?

-Shake! Sheek! Shehehe!

Ribbons rushing towards Bianca as if every strand had its own will.
It doesn’t just chase it, it induces Bianca and puts it to one side like putting a net in the air.

However, no matter how many there were, the observation plan of the idea was not missed.
The wings of Icarus, which flew faster than the flying ribbons and did not disturb a single strand of her hair, effortlessly shook off the pursuit.

Don’t panic
There is still plenty of magic power right now.

Mach 30.
When you open and close your eyes, an object 10 km in front of you passes by behind your back.
Originally, Bianca drew Arkhart’s bow at a speed that allowed her body to be distorted due to the G-force generated during a sharp turn.

Arkhart’s bow can pour more firepower than any weapon Bianca possesses.
Because it consumes so much mana, Bianca can fire up to three shots without any burden.

That is, at least two feet remain.

The bow pulled to its limit and the sky bent again.
The target is Shin Si-woo, who handles the ribbon down there.
The moment the night sky is about to shoot again.

-Wheeying!

The ribbons that split the air as if they were waiting all at once drew a circle hundreds of meters in diameter.
Connected tail after tail, it creates a huge ring tunnel that gets narrower and narrower.

The golden magic formula written on each ribbon is all for controlling the force field.
The coil-like ribbon and the force field emitted from it are daring to block Bianca Bellilli’s greatest blow.

“Shoot!”

Although it is the second ejection, the power does not change at all.

-Geeeee!

A black arrow that cuts through space.
As if they had waited, the ribbons resonated all at once, and the black arrows faltered as if caught in a net.

“What… ?”

The arrow flew so slowly that even Icarus’ wings couldn’t escape it.
That alone made Bianca unbelievable.
It meant that the arrow was being interfered with by the force field.

It wasn’t a standard formal dress, nor a red branch distortion field.
By means of an unknown technique that was developed to the point of being simply ignorant.

A force field to block and an arrow to pierce.
Every time the flesh moved, the ribbon around it burned bright red like a filament exposed to high-voltage current.
The arrow, which seemed to stop, regained speed and was smoothly sucked into the ring tunnel.

Realize soon
In the first place, his purpose was not to perfectly block attacks.

-Kwaaaaang!

A roar that made the intestines throb.
The white spray spewed out by the sea soared hundreds of meters.

Bianca saw the process clearly.
The fatal blow was guided into the ring tunnel created by the ribbon, and unlike its destination, it was plunged into the depths of the sea.

“…….”

How many times do you think the same thing?
Can not believe it.

The idea itself can be done by anyone.
Against a linear attack, guiding it like putting a slide.
It is a strategy that is often used to prevent wear and tear even on location boards.

However, Bianca’s attack was more than a mere abrasion.
Even if there was a 1 km long cube made of special alloy in front of it, it was such a blow that it could completely annihilate it.

You say that you simply combine a ribbon and force field magic to shed it?
A thrilling acrobatics that could cost you your life with just the slightest miscalculation?

It is the work of a madman.
It’s something no sane person can do.
Bianca couldn’t contain his astonishment and tried to find Siu.
Even within the scattering spray and magical noise, the observation eye identified his location in an instant.

Shin Si-woo, who bursts out of space and wields a red branch right behind Bianca.
