Chapter 158 – Eldland’s Capital Power Is the World’s J2!! (2)
“Welcome to my kingdom, stranger. I am the King of Eldland, King Vilgames Ver Lugar de Eldland Ulruk.”
The next day after finding a place to stay, I visited the king of this country with Jean Sen and Mono as guides of Semira. King of Eldland, Vilgames Verru… Child Sippal, what kind of guy’s name is so long? I can’t understand why a bastard’s surname is so attached to the name Vilgames. Names are meant to be called by other people, but if you make it that difficult, how will anyone call you?
Ah, now that I think about it, since no one calls the king carelessly, does it matter if it is so difficult?
“It is an honor to meet you, King of Eldland.”
Anyway, it seems that the other side is trying to treat me with courtesy (?) First, so I have to match it. Of course, it was difficult to memorize and say that long name at once, so I just called him with the title of King of Eldland, and the other person realized that and squinted his eyes for a moment, but soon passed without hesitation.
“I heard that you were looking for me, and in response, I arrived here in Eldland from Landfill. I am Ragnar Armageddon, a stranger who came to this world just a few months ago, and is called ‘teacher’ in Landfill. This side is my lover. In Mono Lilith, and this one is Jean Sen, arguably the strongest Sim power I’ve ever awakened.”
At my introduction as a stranger, he squinted his eyes for a moment, but when I saw a small interest and greed wavering in his gaze toward Mono, I felt the same way. Um, who the fuck is this bastard spying on? I heard from Semira that he drags several girls into his bedroom every night and has a crazy time. Are you satisfied with that? Are you interested in mine? If it wasn’t for the king, I’d just slit his throat…
“Yes, yes. You are the teacher of the famous abandoned city. There are some rumors I have heard about you.”
Are you going straight to the point? Okay, the sea I was hoping for too. I don’t want to hang out with this bastard like the golden sun for a long time.
“It is said that he deals with unusual powers that are not divine powers, blessings, or magic. Is that true?”
“Yes, that’s right. Some people call this power that I awaken, incarnation.”
“Incarnation, incarnation… I guess it’s the power of the mind. I’m hoping that power, by all means, will match its reputation.”
“I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.”
“Is that so? Then, let’s try it. Semira.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Guide the teacher and the talented person to the arena. And the woman on the other side will come out…”
“Sorry, I’m not interested in anything but my own.”
Mono is a free woman who is not bound by anything. It’s no different than silk, even if she’s the king of another country. Her invisible powers were nothing to her, and Bilgames seemed annoyed at the fact that her mono interrupted and rejected her own words before she was even finished. Blushed in her face.
“…Okay. Then guide all three of them to the arena. I will check with my own eyes to see how much power the teacher boasts.”
That’s crazy. In the name of testing their strength, they boast of their side’s strength and seem to want to disgrace this side, but to be honest, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s not the incarnation level, there’s no way Zhang Sen will be defeated.
Me, Mono, and Jang Sen followed Semira’s guidance to the arena. Obviously, the country reminds me of Egypt, but I couldn’t understand why the arena looked like the Roman Colosseum. Seeing that the arena was full of spectators, it seemed that they had prepared in advance.
“Hmm, it’s a little uncomfortable in a place with so many people…”
Jean Sen grumbled in a small voice, perhaps intimidated by the numerous stares from the audience pouring down on us.
“Don’t worry. Their gaze will soon turn to admiration and favor.”
“That’s not very helpful.”
King Bilgames, who arrived a little while later, followed the long and tedious proclamation.
“This battle is a test to check the capabilities of those in the center, and their victory condition is to defeat all ten enemies who challenge in turn. I hope that the challengers will not disappoint Jim, and I will declare the start of the test from now on. “
Soon, the arena door opened, and the enemy we were supposed to face… To be exact, Jean Sen, appeared. He’s not the first to deal with…
“It’s an alligator.”
“It’s not an ordinary crocodile, it’s a monster. That’s quite a bit. That’s it… I think it’s about B-class by the Metaverse City’s standard of measurement, right?”
Three adult males slowly entered the arena through the open door of the Nile River crocodile, which was big enough to swallow.
“Mr. Sen? Can you handle it alone?”
“Ha ha, sir.”
Clap.
“Do you really need to say something obvious?”
With the sound of wheezing and cutting the wind, the starving beast that looked at us and licked its lips became a body that did not have to worry about its endless hunger forever.
“…Invite the next opponent.”
Obviously, this is a place to check the power of incarceration, so the stronger we are, the better we can confirm that the rumors are true. Ordered to let them in. The next enemy was the Giant Troll… Although it was stronger than the crocodile beast, it was a monster that Ellestar had already sliced before, so Jean Sen swung his arm again without feeling any pressure and cut the Giant Troll in half.
Zhang Sen’s ability is distortion acrobatics. The ability to freely manipulate objects thrown by her own hands, ignoring the laws of physics. In the flowering stage, the maximum controllable time was 15 seconds, and the number of changes that could be made by ignoring the laws of physics was limited to seven at a time, but he was different from before when he reached full bloom. The glove wrapped around his arm is proof of that.
In full bloom, the ability not only simply exerts physical force, but also takes on a physical form. Those gloves, and the blades he throws, are Jean Sen’s ability, the power of distortion acrobatics, the physical form.
Every time Jean Sen squeezed and opened his hand, a dagger like that used in circus acrobatics appeared in it. And every time he flung the dagger from his hand, a series of magical sights occurred that made everyone doubt their own eyes.
The enemy gladiator approached slowly, holding a large, thick shield forward to deflect the blade, but the blade thrown by Jean Sen disappeared from sight before it touched the shield, then suddenly appeared from behind the gladiator and stabbed him in the back.
The gladiator clad in thick armor charged forward with confidence, but the blade thrown by Zhang Sen did not bounce off the thick armor as soon as it hit it. It was stuck in the gladiator’s naked body.
The nimble monster ran around and attacked, but the blade thrown by Zhang Sen persistently pursued the beast as if it had the ability to think for itself. .
After dealing with the enemy, the blade disappears, and when Zhang Sen squeezes his gloved hand and bleeds it, a new blade is again held in that hand.
“It’s definitely on a different level than before.”
“Look at that. Didn’t I say I wouldn’t regret it?”
“…Even if you say that, I won’t do that terrible thing again.”
“It sucks.”
Although Zhang Sen’s ability was previously very strong, it had one fatal flaw. It was also the biggest drawback of throwing weapons.
First, the power and speed of the projectile itself.
The speed or power of a thrown weapon is absurdly insufficient compared to a bow that shoots an arrow through the elasticity of a bow, gunpowder, compressed air or gas, or a gun that accelerates a bullet to high speed and fires it with the power of electromagnetic force. You can see and avoid stones thrown by people, but you cannot see and avoid guns and arrows. Of course, there must be people in this world who can do that, but anyway, there are only a few of them, so let’s move on.
Second, the recycling of projectiles.
The bows and guns mentioned earlier use arrows and bullets, respectively, to perform long-range attacks, but throwing weapons such as daggers have a very limited number of projectiles compared to the previous two. Of course, unlike bows and guns, you can use it with just your arms without any special tools, but on the contrary, after using up the projectile, there is nothing you can’t do before you retrieve it.
Because of these shortcomings, Zhang Sen’s ability is quite powerful, but the disadvantages were clear. It is good that it creates the biggest variable in a battle where every minute and every second is important, and it is good that the opponent can stab an unexpected place, but it lacks its own power and is extremely unfavorable in long-term battles. In fact, when the giant troll was sliced in front of Eleista’s eyes, the person who threw the blade was Jean Sen, but the person who made the blade was Miss Yuri. She would not have been able to make full use of her ability if it were not for the glass blade she made, which had extremely low durability but extremely high cutting power and could cut through even extremely hard objects by simply throwing them together.
And Zhang Sen’s ability to go from flowering to full bloom overcame that fatal flaw.
Projectiles are created whenever the hand is clasped and released. With the addition of that simple ability, one of the fatal flaws of Jean Sen’s ability was completely compensated. Even though it is a throwing type weapon, due to its power when it hits, there is no need to carry daggers that are somewhat heavy, and there is no need to run out of daggers and become unable to do anything. In case of emergency, you can engage in close combat with the dagger you created, and since you can continuously create projectiles, the disadvantages in terms of retention have been resolved.
The speed and power of the projectile… In fact, this part can be fully supplemented if you use your ability well.
By distorting the law of acceleration, projectiles can be accelerated faster than the speed of a bullet, and if you distort the law of gravity, you can hit enemies in a position that is difficult to aim with a bow or gun with an attack with an irregular trajectory. By distorting the law of reaction, even if you collide with a strong object, you can damage even enemies with good durability by making it move forward without falling.
It was already strong enough in the blooming stage, so the change in the full blooming stage was very minor, but with that alone, Zhang Sen’s ability was complete.
Just like that, Jean Sen defeated nine out of ten challengers prepared by King Vilgames just by throwing his dagger over and over again. No matter how big and ferocious the demons were, no matter how hard the armored gladiators were, they were meaningless in front of them. All of the challengers raised by Vilgames were strong in general human warfare, but this was not the kind of power one would dare to embrace as an individual. Therefore, it was difficult to call this series of battles fair and fair duels under equal conditions. If they moved a chess piece on the chessboard, we were aiming a gun at the person who placed the chess piece.
“…Nine of the fighters Jim prepared have already fallen. It’s amazing.”
Since I coveted my power anyway, it would be normal for me to be happy with the stronger the power I could give after responding to the call. Still, I wasn’t too worried. Still, I believed that he would make sure of the public life. Even if the challengers in their own country, who thought they were strong in their own way, were easily defeated one after another by a baseless outsider, it is rational to accept it positively, as it means that they can borrow the strength of a strong opponent.
“Let the last challenger in.”
He is not a child who received home education as a fantasy, and it is unlikely that the king of a country will fail his work because his pride is hurt just because the forces with which he can have a positive relationship with him seem stronger than those on his side. Won’t…
“Uh, isn’t that person… Mr. Nubis, the general of the Red Sand Corps?”
“With the protection and authority of the god of the desert, the invincible General Nubis, who has never been defeated in a direct battle?!”
“Why is the general here…?”
“No, fuck.”
Holy crap, why are you out there?
No, this event is definitely a place to test how much power we can provide to you guys. But Siftal, why the hell is the final weapon with such crazy specs coming out here?
The symbol of Eldland, the pattern of the yellow sun. However, the fact that the pattern is engraved on a yellow-red background is the only sun in Eldland, and it symbolizes an army that has the bloody will to drop everything else. It is one of the few powers of its own in Eldland, and at the same time, it is the symbol of the Red Sand Legion, an army commanded by the right-hand man of Wilgames, the king of Eldland.
“Nubis. General of the Red Sands Legion and proud brother of Jim.
“This Nubis, I will not disappoint your Majesty’s expectations.”
Damn you, Vilgames, you crazy bastard.
There’s really no way he’d do something like this just because of his ego… Is this what it is? After defeating our side in this duel, in fact, I say that the power I can provide is competent, but not very strong, perhaps as a sign to gain an advantage in the upcoming deal? It will. Cancer, no way. Could it be that the king of a country would bring his country’s strongest general into the arena and fight it, just because an outsider was a little sassy?
…Isn’t it? Wouldn’t it?
