Chapter 2191 – 2191. Dark Moon
Not all puzzles are safe. Some are related to combat. However, the more combat-oriented they are, the simpler they tend to be, so the Four-Leaf Clover Treasure Hunter who arrived first had already taken care of them.
‘The puzzles on this island are quite annoying, so it seems they’re still intact.’
Four-Leaf Clover Treasure Hunter. Just thinking about that guy made my teeth grind. There were quite a few things I couldn’t get because of him.
*Boom!*
A loud explosion erupted from the sea around the island.
A naval battle was taking place on the water. Pirates on ships were firing cannons, engaging in a sea fight. The ships were small, but the cannons were military-grade and threatening.
“It’s so damn noisy.”
Invisible Blade grumbled, glaring at the sea.
“You’d better be on your guard. We don’t know when those cannons might target us.”
Having a high rank doesn’t make you invincible. Especially in large-scale battles like this, even superhumans are in danger. The heavy missiles, developed in strange ways, boast destructive power similar to high-level attack magic.
“Heh heh. That’s not bad either. A ninja can be active on any battlefield.”
I shook my head at Invisible Blade’s words. It just sounded like boasting. It’s really mages who are active in large-scale battles. Especially spatial mages, who are helpful in all sorts of tactics and strategies.
In that sense, Orsia was just watching the battle on the sea with cold eyes.
I opened my Astral.
Their gazes turned to me.
“The atmosphere is unusual? Are you perhaps going to intervene in the battle?”
“It wouldn’t be bad to wipe out the pirates for a more pleasant exploration of the ancient ruins.”
Surprisingly, Orsia was belligerent. It seemed she didn’t like the pirates.
“This puzzle is simple yet not simple.”
[Explosion]
Fifth-grade explosion magic circles were drawn all over the island. The completed magic circles exploded, destroying the surroundings. *Boom, boom, boom!* Rocks shattered, and dust rose and spread around.
Destroying the intact island and turning it into a wasteland relieved some of my stress.
The puzzle on this island was to destroy more than 70% of the island.
Solving this simple yet hard-to-notice puzzle would reveal a hidden place, and a guardian would appear.
“Who dares to destroy this sacred place!”
The sea split open, and a machine popped out. A 2-meter-tall mechanical weapon resembling a Jindo dog! Its two eye sensors glowed red as it growled at me.
“A machine with artificial intelligence… It’s not a Droid.”
“If it were a Droid, it wouldn’t be quietly staying in a place like this.”
Droid. Machines that betrayed humanity. Especially since Neo London suffered a lot of damage, the citizens of Neo London are at the point of hating artificial intelligence machines. The reason Neo London pursues tradition is because of the Droids.
“That is a robot for security purposes from Great Korea. The technological prowess is so amazing that it feels awe-inspiring, as it remains intact even after thousands or tens of thousands of years.”
It was probably treated with magic. Great Korea was an ancient nation that reached the pinnacle in all fields, including science and magic.
“This place is where sacred relics are stored. You will pay the price for making a disturbance.”
The mechanical Jindo dog deployed boosters from its rear and charged.
“Invisible Blade.”
“Got it. Ninjas don’t usually fight head-on like this.”
The female ninja grumbled and ran forward. She blocked the mechanical Jindo dog with the sword in her hand. The mechanical Jindo dog’s body was so hard that she couldn’t cut it in one go.
Invisible Blade made a hand seal with her other hand and activated ninjutsu. Water surged from her ninja sword, which she held in reverse.
You can’t ignore water. There are waterjet cutters that use water pressure, after all. But even this only made scratches on the mechanical Jindo dog’s body.
Normally, machines and water are incompatible, but this mechanical Jindo dog, having emerged from the sea, boasts perfect waterproofing.
“Ugh, this is annoying! Hey, don’t just stand there, help me out?!”
Invisible Blade shouted, jumping back to avoid the Jindo dog’s attack. Even in the midst of that, she was doing double and triple jumps by kicking off the air, which was truly amazing. It wasn’t a magical technique, but purely her physical ability.
“I was going to. Just get out of the way.”
A blue magic circle was drawn in front of me. I took out a metal bullet from my pocket and flicked it into the magic circle.
[Railgun]
The hypersonic bullet, accelerated by electromagnetic force, flew towards the mechanical Jindo dog. The mechanical Jindo dog couldn’t avoid it and was knocked down, colliding head-on with the railgun. The mechanical Jindo dog’s shoulder was broken.
“That was dangerous! I almost died!”
“You dodged it before it was even fired.”
Invisible Blade, with her excellent senses, felt the danger and dodged to the side. It wasn’t just intuition that made her dodge.
‘She must have sensed the mana. The ninjutsu that ninjas use is, in a way, a limited form of magic.’
Anyway, the mechanical Jindo dog’s engine was still not off. I used the next magic I had prepared.
[Thunder Bolt]
Lightning struck from the clear sky, illuminating the surroundings.
Listening to the thunder that echoed belatedly, I checked the mechanical Jindo dog’s condition. Smoke billowed from the completely collapsed mechanical Jindo dog’s body.
We approached the wreckage.
“Yujin, is there a superconductor in that machine?”
“Probably some of the parts are superconductors. It’s a machine made by Great Korea.”
“…Any company would want this machine. It would probably be worth whatever they asked for.”
“Companies won’t get much from this. Even if they discover and analyze the superconductor parts, they won’t be able to discover its true nature. It’s locked with the technology of a super-advanced civilization. The other parts are the same.”
If you could get everything with just one machine like this, the world would have developed much earlier.
“So, the actual sales price won’t be much. I’ll take this wreckage. I’ll compensate you with money. I’ll give you 500 million credits each.”
I said it without batting an eye. If I sold this to a large corporation, I would earn at least tens of billions of credits.
“I’d rather have the metal armor on the surface. I’m interested in its excellent waterproofing.”
“I’m interested in that too.”
“…Okay. Then I’ll share the metal armor.”
We took the wreckage of the mechanical Jindo dog and entered the place the Jindo dog was guarding.
Two objects were stored in glass boxes. Orsia’s eyes lit up.
“Interesting. They’ve layered spatial magic inside the glass boxes. They’ve sealed off space-time. I’ll give up the metal armor I mentioned earlier. Instead, I’d like to have one of these glass boxes.”
It was natural for a spatial mage to be interested in spatial magic. Invisible Blade didn’t seem interested at all, though.
“Alright. But I’d like you to break this seal. Is that okay?”
“It’s a box made for storage. Breaking the seal itself doesn’t seem difficult. But do you know what’s inside?”
The objects inside the boxes were tightly wrapped in bandages, so it was impossible to tell exactly what they were from the outside.
Of course, I knew what these objects were.
The sacred relics that the mechanical Jindo dog mentioned. They were relics of demons and angels. Demons and angels were beings revered as gods even in the ancient times of Great Korea.
“They are parts of the bodies of high-ranking demons and high-ranking angels.”
“……You’re keeping such dangerous things?”
“Well, even if they’re demons and angels, only the 72 demon kings and 72 archangels can be considered true deities.”
High-ranking demons and high-ranking angels refer to beings of at least 9th grade or higher. One of the two objects in front of me was the horn of a high-ranking demon, and the other was the hand of a high-ranking angel.
In the game’s original story, both were considered top-tier materials. You wouldn’t be cursed just by using them. After all, the owners of these body parts were already dead. The 72 demons and angels wouldn’t care even if their subordinate demons or angels died.
“That’s terrible. Those are things the baguettes would like. You can have them, Yujin. I won’t interfere with how you use them.”
She shook her head.
They were materials that a black mage would be crazy to research… but they weren’t very attractive to ordinary mages.
‘Divine France is serious about religion, so it’s different.’
Invisible Blade was looking outside with her arms crossed. She didn’t even show any interest in this.
‘Good. I was interested in black magic and divine magic anyway.’
Orsia, as a 7th-grade spatial mage, broke the seal of the boxes. If she hadn’t stepped up, I would have forcibly smashed them. Since Invisible Blade gave up, one of the glass boxes was mine. This, of course, was also worth researching.
‘I want to research what I got today quickly.’
• • •
A short break was given.
As living beings, they couldn’t avoid the physiological phenomena that came at regular intervals.
I went to a secluded place on the island and lowered my pants. Thanks to the women from Neo London, I drank black tea whenever I had time, so I had to urinate several times a day.
Especially Orsia, who was born in Neo London, drank black tea almost every chance she got. It wasn’t for nothing that people all over the world belittled the citizens of Neo London by calling them tea drinkers.
“……”
I felt a gaze.
In one corner of my senses, the flow of mana was slightly distorted. It was a very small level, but my senses easily captured it. It was also because I had become accustomed to it recently.
‘Now, are they even going to watch me when I’m taking a leak?’
It seemed like Orsia’s voyeurism had gotten worse.
I didn’t care and grabbed my dick, getting into position. Since she wanted to see, I could show her. But it wasn’t worth showing for free. There was a reason why there was the term ‘equivalent exchange’ in alchemy.
“It’s lonely peeing alone. I wish someone would pee with me.”
A soliloquy as if for someone to hear.
It worked. The space next to me rippled, and a pussy appeared. A pink pussy with golden pubic hair. The pussy floating in the air looked better than it did this morning. At least it wasn’t dripping with vaginal fluids.
I chuckled and peed on the grass. The pussy hesitated and twitched… and eventually spurted out a golden liquid.
‘It’s really amazing to see a pussy floating in the air. If I master spatial magic, can I use my dick like this?’
I imagined a scene of a dick and pussy meeting in the air, having long-distance Bluetooth sex.
‘I want to try it someday.’
After finishing my business and shaking off my dick, I looked at the pussy. The pussy had also finished its business, but due to its structure, the surface was bound to be wet. As if sensing my gaze, the pussy fluttered. I rubbed my dick against the pussy’s labia.
The more I rubbed against the pussy floating in the air, the more my dick became erect.
‘I want to just stick it in right now, but….’
I held back.
I stepped back and patted the pussy with the palm of my hand. A little bit of vaginal fluid dripped from the vulva.
‘I have to hold back because I want to see Orsia’s face when she loses her virginity.’
I pulled up my pants. The pussy had already disappeared. I returned to the group. Orsia, standing with her arms crossed, had the same cold expression as usual.
