Chapter 739 – The Moon on Earth (5)
***
‘Thinking, Nord. Thinking.’
After I saved Yui-Ling’s sister, I broke out in a sweat.
To put it bluntly, there was nothing to gain from the surprise attack other than rescuing the hostages.
‘I put a barrier in this big city, did I think it would be as high-performance as this!’
It’s not that the people of this world are stupid and don’t put barriers on their territory.
Think about it. Magic moves mana as a driving force.
But covering the city with a barrier? Even if you just lay the walls, it will break a lot of money for repair work? So, since it is pouring water into a bottomless pot, it is usually a barrier to only open it in important places.
For example, a treasure house, a royal castle, or something like that.
‘It goes beyond common sense.’
Did the uniqueness of being a city-state and the existence of Wooshin make it possible to pour a lot of the country’s assets into the national defense? Yeah, if there’s a monster like that nearby, I’ll do the same.
This city-state is literally a country established with only one city!
The capital is the home country of Azteca.
A crazy thing to do is to use all the resources plundered from other city-states to maintain the barrier. But it was effective madness. Thanks to that, it’s like I jumped into enemy territory by myself.
It wasn’t a barrier to protect
However, bullets did not go far in the water, and even with this enormous amount of mana, the coordinates were distorted. Fortunately, it seems that no one has fused with stones or terrain.
[Did you cross the barrier? It’s a useful enchantment.]
Kwagwagwak—! The cannibal empress stepped on the ground. An obsidian-like boulder rose from the ground and cut through my mana coating. It was a terrifyingly sharp magic.
An obsidian blade grows every time the emperor, who has grown snake scales, wields the scepter.
【I’d like to have her as an engineer, but the time to visit wasn’t good.】
【Don’t fuck, you gecko bastard!】
It’s a bummer that the visit isn’t good. Even if I was 10 minutes late, even if I didn’t use my clairvoyance, Yui-ling’s sister would have been disassembled like a tuna dismantling show.
I dodged the obsidian blade. It’s my specialty to take it off with my body, but I’m not careful about getting hit by magic with strong firepower.
The obsidian blades that came out like a scaffolding pattern in the game. That’s also a joke. The activation speed was lagging behind, and the mana coating was shattered.
Damn, calm down Anyway, it wasn’t all that bad.
The army’s attack has begun, but this damn barrier had to be released beforehand, and the people apart will take care of it. For now, let’s believe in family and companions.
Should I hurry up and run away? No, let’s quit.
The safest thing is for someone who can be
Kwagwagwaga each—!!
However, it will be difficult to avoid while holding on to it. I don’t really like shooting games! Besides, even if it rots, it’s an enemy camp. Procrastination would only increase the number of enemies.
The Empress shouted while casting magic without a spell.
【Whoops, haha! An interesting fighter! But what a pity I have no time for my entertainment! At least don’t die right away! Show your will, invader!]
– Creepy. A sense of danger running down your cheeks.
The situation of the princess and me all disappeared from my standard of judgment, and the instinct of a warrior placed survival first. I put an aura around the mana-catheter of my whole body.
[20 times the aura ticket-!!!]
Tspaaaaa—!! A fluorescent aura erupted.
Destructive power worthy of the nickname Mana of Destruction. My aura, which grinds steel like a mixer, stopped everything pouring down around me as soon as it unfolded.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
【… Mother!】
But the attack doesn’t stop!
Damn, did the attack hit more than that? As if all the air that touches my skin becomes a sharp knife and pierces me, my mana is being cut straight down without a cooldown or delay.
In the master’s battle, mana is a lifeline.
Even if I didn’t do anything, I would get injured and attrition, but the cannibal empress didn’t even seem to be struggling. Her expression contorted as she felt it turning against her.
【Stupid bitch! A transparent obsidian blade!]
[It’s not something you can’t see! All of this space is my territory and weapon!]
You made space itself into a blade?
Like before, the obsidian blade attack did not come flying. It is not a space cut like a black hole. Literally, space itself has become a blade.
However, that alone is more dangerous than before.
What’s up with all these crazy fucking skills? Fucking the limit of magic aptitude and using everything from space to the floor to the dust in the air as a catalyst for magic?
It’s like playing house by yourself, using all the materials you can touch as money to buy things. It’s harder than facing an earth attribute mage in the desert.
A power that covers unfavorable terrain, drastically reduces mana consumption, and makes all attacks a hit!
‘You bastard, no doubt a master class wizard!’
As simple as it is, it is incredibly powerful!
Even if a thousand soldiers rushed at it, it would be completely annihilated if an invisible obsidian blade with power that would cut off just the neck sprouted right next to the neck.
The same is true when fighting strong enemies. Unless you have a 360-degree offensive defense skill or regenerative ability like me, a long-term battle against that bitch is absolutely impossible.
Even if I put the formidable enemies who had struggled with me until today on the scale, the odds of winning would be less than three or four.
Even compared to Equinox, who used to revive the dead, and Letitia, who was a Valkyrie birthing machine and Einheri Orphanage, it is a power worthy of a cannibal empress, specialized in combat!
【However, it is amazing, invader! It’s been decades since I’ve endured my authority unscathed!]
There was no change in the appearance of the screaming Empress.
It was because the offensive was continuing without any mercy from the beginning, disregarding the cheeky attitude. To the extent that there is no way to go on the offensive more than now.
[A surprise attack that ruined the ceremony was unpleasant, but a warrior like this deserves the insult! Now, if you are a warrior with honor and pride, shake off your fear and attack!]
[Slap your mouth! Because it smells like human flesh!]
Believing in the defense power of the Aura Fist, I rushed. A situation where you receive the same dot damage wherever you are. I had to counterattack before I ran out of MP and hit this blender attack with my bare skin.
─It’s a joke!!!!!!
Anyway, it’s not really a joke.
It’s the part where I feel like I’m going to lose my mind because of the noise, but it’s as if my defenses are being slashed by the blade, as if I’m running through bankruptcy hell.
【Search, scale disabled!】
Beginning with
While observing the reaction, Brunak’s exorcism pierced through the transparent obstacles in front.
【You’re not in the right attitude to treat the emperor!】
As if she didn’t want to ignore my charge, bitch Reptilian stepped on the obsidian blade barefoot and dodged it. The blade did not sharpen its master, but dragged the palanquin like a servant.
‘They’re not going to give me the short-distance blink warp angle.’
To break through the barrier, I used ᚱ (Raidō), one of the master’s seven ultimate utilities.
Rune limit? Where the fuck is that I’m being guarded because my pick was discovered.
From that bitch’s point of view, magic that doesn’t interfere with my rush and allows her to approach.
So even if I activate rune magic and run through it, I avoid it early so that I can’t fill the distance.
Expecting me to get out of this barrage and deliver a warp-punch.
However, I don’t feel like I’m that skilled.
‘There is no reaction to Odin’s eyes.’
The eyes that interpret the master’s movements as if they were magic did not intend to work at all.
The footsteps of that year were not at the level of masters.
It wasn’t hard for me to figure out why.
‘Is it the same as when Yonggary was a baby?’
Not a human trained to the limit, but a half-human, half-dragon with natural power!
An enemy who puts up overflowing mana to obtain authority, and wields it mercilessly.
Blessings of the natural bloodline. It is truly the power of an emperor.
Not bad. When the eyes of Odin and the senses of the master class enter the number reading battle, the fight becomes longer. Because I was still only a Mithril class.
But the embarrassing thing seemed to be the same for the empress.
【… Tsk! The defense and mana amount are completely unlike those of a human!]
【There’s nothing the reptile-type Monmusu can’t say!!】
Return of the Beast. Aura right. ᚦ(Thurisaz) rune charm. A shoulder epaulet that raises the defense you farmed while defeating the troll army in Dana’s hometown.
It is a space defense that even Mr. Narak, a poison insect maniac, will cry.
He defends himself with the passive skill of attack and defense, and shoots magic, and at the same time, he still has enough mana.
Wouldn’t it feel like a deal is not going to be dealt with from the point of view of a person who has usually won with a single hand gesture. A fight waiting for the enemy to die would have been rare.
‘Sparrow, but it consumes too much.’
To intervene with Odin’s eyes, the enemy’s magic ability is my superior.
If I take it off with my body, only my mana will be cut in a situation where I can’t even hit one. Is there any way to further reduce the amount of consumption?
─Weing, weing, weing!
The moment I thought so, Brunak shuddered just enough to get out of the way.
【… That’s right, you were there.]
I stopped charging and changed Brunak into a bracelet. The constant attack was inevitably met. Empress, conscious of my actions. I muttered.
【You didn’t even transform while fighting the monster.】
Bangle mode Brunak trembled as if to answer.
─Tuk-tuk! I tapped the mithril part of the bracelet.
【ᛒ(Berkanan).】
【Pieree EX ─ !!】
Clap! Charrrr!
The bracelet, guided by rune magic, transformed and wrapped around my body starting with my forearm.
I have an aptitude for changing the shape of inanimate objects, and this magic does not depend on mass or volume. Didn’t Veronica and I turn into small animals?
So Brunak transformed from a bracelet into a suit of armor. It’s mithril armor.
[A transforming artifact? It seems useful, but is it enough to turn the tide of the war!]
The empress who speaks boastfully and then pours out an onslaught. Eliminate skills you don’t know well before they hit you. It is the best tactic for those who can.
If you have the ability to do that.
─Swoon! Woo! Woo!
He took out the rune stone engraved with the rune and inserted it into the gauntlet of her left hand. It is a humanity gauntlet that can only be equipped by the immoral papa who protects his foster daughter (his alter ego) as a shield.
Click-! One rune stone flashed.
【
A rune of protection, barriers, and equipment enhancement.
A triple rune mandala unfolded a Venn diagram on the gauntlet. The power of the runes flowed through the mithril, which received mana well, to the ends of its limbs.
Kaga-ga-ga-!!
After infusing mana and powerfully using rune magic, the pressure of the blade decreased sharply. The attack that pierced Beast Return’s mana with the remaining power after being ground by the aura lost momentum.
Brunak’s exorcism.
The ability to repel other mana from me.
Its function was wrapped around its body as a barrier rune. It was a strategy that worked because I changed it to an armor form, but my persistent space defense was added with two layers.
【Kuu! You do tricks well!]
A pair of teeth gnashing their teeth in anger. He had noticed that the damage he was doing had been cut.
【Are you afraid? This is an armor that only a truly righteous hero can wear. The witch’s evil magic won’t leave a scratch on my body.]
I half-opened my eyes while enduring the stabbing blade.
‘… I’m sure my mana is similar to that bitch’s.’
I don’t know why, but the words of the empress that I stole with my clairvoyance before
It’s okay though. Because Brunac’s exorcism doesn’t decrease that much.
‘What is needed is not exceptional strength. It’s wisdom that won’t be pushed back in a contest of strength.’
Nothing difficult. Since I was weak, I have been defeating opponents stronger than myself with my head.
From the first fight with Nefertiti, my true strength was improvisation and wisdom, not a battle relied on overwhelming force.
I further activated the rune stone inserted into the gauntlet.
The advantage of entrusting the runic magic to the stones is that I only need to pour mana without using my brain.
【ᚱ(Raidō).】
─Swoon! Click!
The rune of dimension avoidance activated and my body disappeared.
【… Suck! O’sap! Aburaha-gus! Rrr’a Koatl!】
Rather than running away from me, the Empress invested time in protecting herself with magic. When he cast the spell, the obsidian wall soared and a huge amount of mana protected his body.
It is the right choice if you want to protect yourself.
Even if I approached during the duration of the rune, there was no space for me to enter in that barrier, and it was difficult to reach there in the first place because of the distance.
Although she did not have master level martial arts, she was a woman with excellent resourcefulness.
However, with that resourcefulness, Emperor Yeo made a mistake in her choice.
Because that was exactly what I was hoping for.
[Your Majesty——!!]
Noticing us fighting at the altar, the corps commanders came up.
The Empress and I concocted a strategy to seize the victory, and when we heard that long, piercing cry, we immediately moved. I rushed at the opponent I was aiming for at the shortest distance.
Emperor Yeo, who infused a vast amount of mana into her spell, burst into bloody eyes in her vertical pupils.
【Blood on Mother’s Altar, Proud Warrior!!】
Fuchsiaaaaa!!
The Emperor Yeo’s power and magic pierced the altar and sharpened her blade.
The mystery of the master class that even gets you involved!
There was only one place that the attack did not reach.
──And I, of course, was in that safe zone.
【Sir haircut!!! Everyone, don’t move!!!]
Suddenly, I rushed to the safe zone and pointed my sword at the neck of Yui-Ling’s real sister, the half-dwarf girl who had been chosen as the missing princess of Baiznia and the priestess of Azteca.
【If you keep messing around, you might see Miko Neg in pain!!】
Silence fell on the altar at my solemn warning.
Wow, it’s been such a long time. Such an improvised operation.
【… …】
【… …】
【… …】
The princess, caught by me with only her coat hanging over her naked body, shouted through the silence.
【… Aaaaa!! Please save me!]
It was a fucking performance of a Korean language book.
His eyesight is good, but his acting skills are poor. I’ll give you 6 points compared to Ergé.
But is it wrong because I have grown this way and that compared to before? It’s a lot more expensive than I thought.
‘No, I’ll win if I’m honest, but I think I’ll run out of mana after fighting.’
Wouldn’t it be okay for the princess, who was both a baggage and a hostage, to be able to serve one person with this? Oh, no need to say thank you.
It seems that she realized from her many years of inauguration as a shaman (compulsory, indefinite contract) that this funny skit is so fucking effective that she shouts with excitement and doesn’t resist at all.
Was it like that? The head of the evil cannibal empire trembled and shouted.
【Bee, you mean bastard! Wasn’t he a righteous hero!]
【Stop! Like an invader without honor! Free Tonashilukatl-sama——!!]
Pouring sales. I laughed out loud.
【The profession of princess is synonymous with hostage. This is “Common sense,” Barbarians.]
Well, how about being a little cowardly? Zhuge Liang, the master of strategy, also used the hostage tactic.
Is there any way you can have fun as a kidnapped heroine?
