Chapter 528 – The World of the Dead (6)
– Arrive! Fran landed on the floor with difficulty thanks to the help of Tirsi’s wind. Tirsi hugged her as she stumbled.
Piing-!
When the strings of mana were unable to mobilize the captives, Corentus freed the captives.
〈… Shit!〉
However, his lamentation was not because of the loss of a hostage. Corutus glared at Fran, who could not believe her eyes, as her mana drained her breath.
Does that mean that a girl like that created a metal with mana out of nothing? And without any side effects or costs?
Even Abidus, who was a master of black magic, could only make weak golems without materials, so the golems created with magic were only temporarily strengthened with black magic?
〈… Gibberish!〉
─Aww!! As Corutus swung his arms, the three hostages who had escaped the golem’s hold attacked the white clay doll. At the direction of the deputy lord, the blade of the guard who guarded the arena struck the white metal.
Chaenggang—!!
But what was broken was the guard’s sword.
As a Platinum class warrior, he practiced the martial arts that Corutus had learned, but only scratched it.
The blade could not even touch the hostage caught inside. Corutus’ face contorted.
He knew this after leading
“People, I will evacuate… !!”
Fran shouted with difficulty and climbed on the white clay doll to evacuate the hostages to the barrier. It was a speed different from that of the earth golem.
─Thump thump thump thump!!
And as if taking turns with them, several golem pilots appeared with golems at the player’s entrance gate.
《Now!! GAZaaaaa!!!》
《Help the Dynamis Workshop!! Bind the hostages who couldn’t be subdued!!
Wenzo, Lalilura’s opponent in the first round, deployed an ice barrier. Even the dropouts who came to watch the match and the players whose golems were messed up in the previous match took out their golems and charged.
Ever since Corutus revealed his true nature, players with the power to stand up to warlocks have waited for the right time to appear.
“Shit! Fuck you! Get rid of it!! Save at least one more hostage!!”
《… If we don’t do anything, both the studio manager and I will be hanged on suspicion of being black magicians.”
《Don’t talk like that!!》
Hamoyed, the head of the Elphex workshop, who gave Corentus the qualification as a player, also released the golem while shedding tears.
The momentum of the swarming enemies was determined, as if they were prepared for death, but Corutus welcomed them with a snort.
Golem? Players? What does that mean?
If it’s an opponent who’s flimsy, it only increases his arsenal. It was an opportunity to replenish the tools that one girl had stolen while wasting mana.
The purple mana from his fingers clung to all over the players’ bodies.
─Fajik!!
However, at that time, white light bounced and the strings of mana protected the players’ bodies.
Corutus reflexively averted his eyes. His face contorted even more like a demon.
This brilliance. The holy mana that expelled him from infiltrating into the Armials family. It was divine power.
《Again, with that goddamn divine power, the mana of light… !! What kind of guy are you!!”
“It’s me, you fucking black magician!!! I don’t know how I escaped the Hunt God’s protection, but as Satis’ hound, I’ll take you with me even if I die!!”
The Satis cult hunter aimed his mana bow while his chin trembled in anger.
Players hit by arrows created by his divine power bounced back mana from the outside. It was the mana of antima that the priest had.
“Sah, were you alive?”
Lalilura opened her mouth dumbfoundedly. That person must have been the warlock detective the Nords had placed in this arena. He didn’t think he was still alive.
Lalilura, dumbfounded. Satis’ hounds, which had been deployed in the arena, blamed themselves while shedding bloody tears with ruptured blood vessels in their eyes.
If left like a person who bet the rest of his life on a warlock hunt, he would blame himself and commit suicide.
Could it be because of that? Seeing him like that, a realization flashed through Lalilura’s mind.
〈… No, no! Don’t beat yourself up! Thanks to you, I noticed what I was missing!〉
〈… Yes?〉
If Corutus hadn’t learned the full outline of the operation and prevented detection, what could have been the reason he escaped the detection capabilities of those who sense warlocks?
Could there be a causal relationship there as well?
If that’s true, the odds are slightly higher. Lalilura got off the back of Unit 6.
─Whoa! Riding on the wind, Tyrsi landed beside her. The cold air kicked off the desert heat.
Tyrsi said while holding up the wand.
“Can I help you with this fight?”
Tirsi shook her head in disbelief and stood alongside Lari Lura. She overflowed with her cold from her wand.
Corutus seemed to have given up on manipulating her hostage, cutting all her strings and glaring at them.
‘Unfortunately, this mana was not given to you by your friend. It’s the power that I’m lucky enough to have left after helping the person I trust the most.”
Tirshi replied as if he had heard a strange noise.
There is neither nobility nor vulgarity in power itself. In the first place, if she had succeeded in
She hit back with a smile on Tirthy, who had nothing to do with it.
─Fast.
Could it be because of the series of incidents of biting her tail and touching her temper? Corutus gnashed his teeth.
〈… Good night. Well, I didn’t even come here to talk.〉
Deuk deuk… !!
The threads of purple mana that sprang from her arms of her corutus covered her skin like armor. It was a magic that reproduced the armor of blood he had once used with pure mana.
It’s clear now. Lalilura smiled brightly.
Corutus, who covered his face with his armor, pulled out his mana sword as if he was just strengthening his body silently and no need to talk. But that was a tacit, unintentional affirmation.
Tirshi twisted her head into a corner and smiled.
─Sereung. Corutus raised his long drawn sword and selected one martial art that had been used the longest. It was a choice and concentration in the sense of not making mistakes like the previous defeat.
But if they had seen Corutus’ expression, they would have known how distorted his face was.
She giggled humorously, as if she would understand even if she didn’t see her, called Lari Lu. Tirsi smiled and asked calmly.
〈Talking?〉
〈What is the reason why Nord took only the two of us with him when he was abroad in this country?
〈… Aha♡! Of course I remember.〉
Lari Lura stretched her breasts as if drawn by a question mixed with Tyrsi’s pride.
Isn’t it natural to remember? After she listened to the explanation, she agreed to it all, and then she got permission to follow him.
Why were they allowed to accompany them?
Isn’t that obvious?
In this party, except for the immovable No.1 named Nord——
〈〈──Because we are the strongest.〉〉
Born in the same hometown and falling for the same man, they laughed fearlessly as they stood back to back.
—If, by any chance,
Because the girls insisted in unison, Nord sighed and accepted her companion as her secretary and partner.
Of course, if you look at it realistically, neither Lariru nor Tyrsi had the skills of the Nords yet.
In addition, when Lari Lura applied her holy water to appease the curse of the Nords, she was clearly showing off the difference in mana between the other two. Looking at the amount of mana, the entire party might even compete for the lower ranks.
But no problem. ‘Cause she’s not alone
The refugees were guarded by Dana and Veronica.
The hostages were recaptured and protected by Franc.
Those who could not be protected by them were also saved by other players and participants.
Lastly——now she has the power lent to her husband who is not by her side.
That was enough.
Ralilura tampered with Unit 6’s internal functions. ─Suddenly! The doll’s back opened, revealing the core.
Kiyiying… !
Her core began to howl, scattering mana like a solar core.
Made of artificial mithril and mana-endowed steel—things the Nords called sage iron—Ringling Number 6.
The all-metal puppet, an unprecedented new weapon, was able to have one absurd advantage thanks to the material it was made of.
The metal body can withstand the high heat and load generated by mana far longer than normal golems, and stronger.
Was it like that?
Nord is a mana storage technique that Veronica completed while researching Huldupolk’s seal, and added another ignorant function.
—The prosthetic arm I’m wearing can withstand my aura?
─Then… Wouldn’t this puppet made based on the data of the prosthetic arm be able to withstand the same aura I put in?
Lari Lura shook her head again at his unimaginable idea, but without realizing it, she smiled just like him at that time.
Do couples look alike?
She was her most favorite horse.
Kuung-!!
Corutus charged at them. Tirsi, who had awakened Mana, quickly built an
Lalilura calmly went through the procedure while being hit by shards of ice.
─Thump! The aura that Nord had stored in the deepest part of the core pierced No.
Aura is undoubtedly the exclusive property of masters.
However, isn’t the essence of the martial arts that masters use their bodies for, without magic or martial arts?
So, speaking of extreme theory—— Auras also had extremely destructive properties, and were a type of mana that existed in the world.
Therefore, the solidity of the all-metal puppet withstands the overload of Aura.
Lalilura completely released her normally restricted functions, and Ringling activated the trumpet of Number 6.
〈──Trans-Reactor!!〉
Weiyiing—!!
A pink aura enveloped the puppet and burst out.
Turning the power that differs from normal mana into a core and a steel circuit, No. 6 kicked the ground. Corutus became the flagship at an acceleration that reached three times the speed measured using the puppet.
〈My husband lent it to me!〉
Thick… !! The puppet’s fist dug into Corutus’ blind spot and shredded his armor.
〈Kheuhhak!!〉
─Quaang!!
Slamming Corutus into the ground, Lalilura smiled kindly as if a flower was blooming.
〈I was told to do some publicity with the tempo♡?〉
