Chapter 771 – #6-21 Trust Me, Just 10 Minutes (2)
Spade runs into the abandoned factory and leaves, leaving only No. 13 and Apple behind the abandoned factory.
“No. 13, that can’t be…”
No. 13 looks at the pocket in his hand and says that he can guess what an apple is.
A faint light is shining through the opening of the thick leather pouch, and it seems like I can recognize it by that light.
What’s inside is a cube piece taken from Dorothy’s lab.
This is something Apple brought back on a business trip, so there’s no way she wouldn’t recognize it.
“No.”
“That’s not possible. It’s dangerous, No. 13.”
Apple speaks in dissuasion from No. 13.
But it can’t be done. I appreciate your concern, but I can’t listen to your concerns.
It takes strength.
I did my best to prepare just in case.
I have gathered magical power through various heroes, and with the help of Ashe, I have developed a technique that allows me to use my old power even if it is only for a moment.
But that’s not enough. This is not enough.
Even if you try to regain your strength for a moment, all you can do is repeat the result of the first fight with Shim Cheong.
Greater strength is needed.
About the same as when he was in his prime.
If possible, a power even greater than its heyday.
“…”
Open the leather pocket and carefully take out the contents inside.
A blue cube emitting a soft light was held in his hand.
Gooooo――
It’s not hot. It’s not cold either. To put it bluntly, I can’t feel any temperature.
But when she held it in her hand and examined it, she felt a strange sensation, as if her soul had been sucked out.
Just a little while ago, I felt neither hot nor cold, but now for some reason, it feels hot as if I was holding the sun in my hands, and as cold as if I touched an arctic glacier.
Just before I completely lost consciousness, I turned my gaze towards Apple for the last time.
“If I don’t come to my senses after 10 minutes, Apple, wake me up by hitting me.”
“If you don’t wake up, I can hit you with the car… “You won’t die, so don’t hesitate.”
I said this half-jokingly, but Apple only made a worried face and didn’t smile.
I want to reassure you somehow, but I can’t hold on any longer.
Consciousness is sucked in.
With the cube piece held in his hand, No. 13’s thoughts are consumed by the torrent of knowledge overflowing within the piece.
No. 13 stood still, holding the cube tightly in his hand… Apple is watching No. 13 with anxious eyes.
* * *
“――――――Yaaaaah!!!!”
“Haha… !!”
A strong spirit, and in contrast to it, you can hear joyful laughter.
Following this, a sharp sound is heard as the weapons collide with each other.
The heavy blows struck each other, and whenever the weapons collided with each other, sparks flew out loudly.
Check makes full use of his flexible body and continues the offensive with fluid movements.
It would be a waste to say that the movement was truly sophisticated, as it was uninterrupted and uninterrupted, as if every movement was a laying stone for the next movement.
In contrast, the movements of the goblin that confronts her are clunky and messy.
A movement that lacks any trace of sophistication. A series of unpredictable movements, as if a child was playing and moving as he thought.
Because of the contrast with the movements of the check, which was achieved through repeated training and training, the movements of the red flower seem to be even more messed up.
Although these two people were such a contrast, it was natural that the goblin, Jeokhwa, would make the save.
Even if Check fires a splendid barrage of blows, the Red Fire’s powerful club blows destroy him in one go, and even if he stabs dozens of times, the Red Fire’s single, seemingly grazing blow ends up inflicting even more serious injuries on the Red Fire.
Just strong. It’s just fast. That’s just it.
That overwhelming and absurd power reduces the technique of checking to nothing and renders it useless.
“Haha! Die! “Die this time!!”
Jeokhwa smiled evilly and swung the heavy iron club in her hand.
An iron club falling vertically, aiming for the top of the check.
Check avoided it effortlessly, as if he had known it in advance, but before his club even hit the ground, it was bent at a strange angle and changed direction.
Swinging downward, it ignores the law of inertia and flies diagonally upward without losing any of its destructive power.
Only by strength.
It was an inherently impossible movement achieved with incredible strength that could turn inertia into something.
―――!!
“Huh?!”
I had no choice but to hit this directly. Check’s body even stiffened for a moment due to the unexpected movement.
Check hurriedly tried to block it with his weapon, but it was already too late.
Jeokhwa’s iron club swings diagonally from bottom to top and digs into Check’s slender waist. If things continue like this, even if you don’t die, further battles will become impossible.
Thinking like that, I am confident of victory.
The enemy’s weapon passed out of Check’s body without a trace.
“… Again!”
It was a welcome from Coco.
The reason why a battle that could have already ended originally continues.
The moment he was about to attack the check, Coco used illusions to distract him from hitting the target or disrupt his vision.
That said, I wanted to kill myself first, but I also used illusion magic to hide the club, which was in charge of the backroom like me, so I couldn’t find them right away.
It’s not that it couldn’t be found, but it was impossible to find it while withstanding the barrage of checks.
――――!
A sign of something approaching, tearing the air. The sound of cutting wind heard afterward.
A club bullet comes from somewhere, changes its trajectory, and flies in at an impossible angle, aiming at the enemy.
Just before that, the enemy made a sign with his hands and created a wall to protect himself from bullets.
However, the wall can only block one side, and the club’s bullets, which are fired multiple times at once, can change their direction at will.
“Hmm!”
Kyaang!
Changing his trajectory again, he avoided the magic barrier and blocked the bullets attacking from the other side with the goblin bat in his other hand.
Right now, Red Fire is making a hand sign with one hand to create a barrier, and the other hand is holding and swinging a club to block flying bullets.
That’s how it happened.
“Because the body is empty!!”
Check didn’t miss the opportunity and swung the baton in his hand under Coco’s magic that hid his body.
Check’s baton pierced Jeokhwa’s defenseless exposed solar plexus.
A strike aimed precisely at the center in a situation where one cannot use both hands. There is no way that you will be okay after being hit by a blow filled with powerful magical power.
… That’s what I thought, but the Red Army just took a small step back.
She didn’t collapse or look like she was going to stop.
Ignoring the baton poking her body, Jeokhwa’s gaze is directed elsewhere.
Her eyes narrowed, and her lips parted from side to side. It was an eerie smile.
“I found it♪”
Check, who heard that voice from close range, felt chills for a moment and felt like he was getting goosebumps.
And the next moment, Jeokhwa ignored her check and started running in a different direction.
She is at the end.
“Damn it! Coco!!”
Coco used her illusion to completely hide her presence. Check also doesn’t know where Coco is.
However, it seems like I recognized the red fire.
Red fire running in a straight line towards a point.
I feel like I can feel Coco, who was hiding in the illusion, becoming agitated.
The check followed immediately, but her enemy fire was basically faster than hers. Since she runs in a straight line, there is no way she can catch up with her because she starts one beat late.
“Troublesome bitch!! Die!!”
Jeokhwa’s arm swings towards the invisible Coco.
The hand that shattered No. 13’s head into pieces in an instant.
This time, the hand swings mercilessly, aiming for Coco’s head.
Hissing-
Wow!!!
Loud hitting sound.
However, it was not because Jeokhwa’s hand touched and lifted Coco.
In a rapidly changing battlefield, Spade, who had gone out with No. 13 a little while ago, came back and threw a flying kick that hit the enemy’s body.
Due to a kick coming from the side, Jeokhwa’s body was thrown away at the same speed it was running at.
The piled up waste materials and containers collided with the body and fell or collapsed loudly.
As if something had hit it, the waste materials lying on it tilted and even fell down as if they were burying red flowers.
“Nice spade!”
“Are you all okay?!”
The check immediately stood side by side with the spade and guarded against enemy fire.
“Coco! Are you safe?!”
“I’m fine! It was a fake leak from the beginning! I’m not there!”
“… That’s a good thing. “You were cold.”
“Still, I’m not relieved. At first, that woman… No, because my personality recognized my fantasy.”
First of all, it seems that Coco’s true location has not been discovered at the moment, but this means that it cannot continue forever.
All Check and Spades can do now is to take the offensive to prevent Coco from searching for her location.
“Spade. There probably won’t be much of a hit with what you have now. “I’ve been fine even though I’ve hit a few good shots so far.”
“Yes… ? So what should I do?”
“Well. Even so, it won’t be completely ineffective. Let’s stir together. If ten times don’t work, then a hundred times. If a hundred times doesn’t work, you can hit a thousand times.”
It’s not realistic, but it’s also true that there is no other way.
While Spade and Check looked on nervously, Goblin Jeokhwa stumbled out from among the collapsed waste materials.
Even though he was crushed between the waste materials, he didn’t seem to be seriously injured, but his condition was strange.
Her other parts are fine, as if there is no problem, but she is bending over and wrapping her hands around her sides.
As if the pain there wouldn’t go away.
And that point is exactly where Spade was kicked a little while ago.
“Uh… Slit… ? Pfft… Girl… I thought it was strange earlier, but… Why is your bitch, Seongi…? ?”
Jeokhwa has always looked happy, but her expression is strange.
She is glaring at her spade, her expression contorted in pain.
“Spade, did you do something?”
“No. Just use your magic power and kick…”
Check asked, but Spade didn’t seem to understand what was happening.
However, it was clear that a ray of light was visible.
Check delivered a small operation. Spade and Coco, who doesn’t know where they are, can hear.
“Change the operation. “Coco delivers it to the club.”
“Our attacks were useless, but for some reason, Spade’s attacks seem to be working.”
“So, we go on the offensive mainly with spades. Me and Coco Club provide cover so that Spade can attack and avoid being attacked. Create as many attack opportunities as possible. Over.”
I heard Coco’s voice saying she understood.
Spade was taken aback by the suddenly important role he was given, but quickly came to his senses and poured magic into the weapon in his hand.
In the past, he could only focus his magic on his arms and legs, but after meeting No. 13, he was now able to easily channel his magic into his weapons… !
“Go!”
With the command of check.
The new form of the two members of the 7th Division’s assault team rushed towards the goblin enemy fire.
