Chapter 343 – Mutation
#343.
At the moment when the gap was perfectly captured, Gaon could not easily continue the attack and hesitated.
‘Shit. There is no mana.’
The fight in Ignismagna and the physical fatigue accumulated from moving all the way here, and more than half of the battle lines were empty, so the plasma was turned off at the end of breaking through the barrier.
If you attack now, you will be in great trouble because you will not have the strength to fall back.
If he could kill Helya by force, he would accept it, but demons weren’t the ones who died so easily.
Gaon clicked his tongue in regret, but decided to be satisfied with the thought that he had achieved his top priority.
Of course, it did not go smoothly.
Kwaaang!
“Damn it!”
Gaon, who had previously injected mana into the artifact, aspiration, released his energy at once and slammed his fist into Helya’s side.
Kwajijik!
With the sound of her bones shattering, Helya flew and landed on her floor at an angle.
It was wrapped around her side, and the dent in her hit area suggests that her intestines have been dented as well.
Helya, who had been tempting her until just now, opened her mouth wide and glared at Gaon fiercely while spitting out a lot of her red blood.
“Lord, I will kill you. I will kill you!”
If a person’s eyes had physical power, the space where Gaon was standing would have been completely torn apart and completely messed up.
That’s why the anger that Helya showed now was enormous.
Gaon looked at her from afar, then turned her head and stared at the place where Surin and Ariel were being held.
There, Ricardo Sabrina was lying on the ground with her whole body ovulated.
The two were rescued by Lougiena and joined her group while receiving treatment.
‘Thank god.’
This is on a different level from simply rescuing hostages. It is because the moment Ariel comes to her senses and joins her, she can reverse her current inferiority at once.
As a result, their positions have changed. Now, it is Helya, not Gaon and others, who are being chased by time.
She saw the dead Ricardo and gnashed her teeth.
“Useless bastard. I can’t stop even that year… !”
Seeing how he used his strange tentacles, he seemed to have gained some strength, but there’s no way Ricardo could handle Ruggiena even for a moment.
Even though I knew that, it seemed that I couldn’t bear it without resentment.
In the meantime, Gaon accepted as much mana as possible to fill the empty danteon.
It was then.
Ever since she arrived here, Rivera, who had been beside her party, casting off magic, seemed to be conversing with Rougier about something, and then she approached him.
Looking at her incredulously, Rivera opened her mouth as if to make an excuse.
“Seeing them fight, I looked better than that girl.”
“…”
“You ran out of mana too! Because I have a dragon heart, so I can fight for a long time. It’s perfect for dealing with that succubus that pushes forward with firepower!”
There was no answer, so I guess I was worried about sending it back. Rivera didn’t want to admit that she just came because she wanted to fight. She gave a long list of reasons.
Gaon looked cute for some reason and smiled.
She became quite cooperative as the time she spent together with a woman who had only known herself and acted on her own when she first met her.
If it had been in the past, I would have rushed to Helya without listening to him.
Gaon looked at his dantian and felt that it was not enough to restore his perfect condition, so he stepped back slightly.
“All right. Take care of the front I will match the pace in my own way.”
“Good. I’ll get you done before you recover!”
When her permission was granted, Rivera raised her tension and she screamed confidently. It was because she was happy to be able to fight against the strong of her 11 stars, as befits a woman who welcomes the fight against the strong.
However, in the case of Helya, who heard that, it seems that Rivera did not like her very much.
She screamed hysterically.
“You dare to knock someone down! You cheeky lizard!!”
─Take a giggle!
A huge wave flew in with a terrible roar like scratching a blackboard, as if the sound had been amplified using magic.
Rivera furrowed her brow slightly before activating her consciousness and striking her head-on.
Kwurrrring!
Rivera, who flew with formidable acceleration along with her thunderclap, ignorantly stamped and suppressed her gigantic sound wave with force.
The repulsion of the two forces generated a shock wave, causing the ground to shake like mad.
After that, the two started fighting fiercely.
Against hundreds of spells of various attributes, it was truly amazing to see a single line of lightning crossing the air and stirring it around.
Gaon helped Rivera by stepping in at the right time, hovering around her to stay out of the way.
On the other hand, Isabella, who was standing by her side of Chorin and just staring at him, bit her lip hard at her pathetic self.
‘It’s too weak.’
Could it be that she lost her vengeance?
At the time of her return, she gained a chance in her own way, refined her magic, and continued her development, but she has not been able to advance for several years now.
She seems to have paid more attention to Gaon than to her thoughts on how she will become stronger these days.
Thanks to her, she even had a relationship with him, but she wasn’t happy with Isabella.
It’s not that I don’t like Gaon. Rather, she was like this, and she liked it to the extent that she was unfamiliar with it, but she did not want to depend on it.
I wanted to play the role of a walking companion by her side, but chasing after her was impossible due to my personality.
Until now, it was possible to rationalize that I was ahead of the top ranks except for a few people, but now I was surrounded by anxiety that I did not know when I would be overtaken.
That may have been the case. The thing that I unknowingly avoided Gaon after the incident at the resort.
‘I have to become stronger.’
The longer I spent with him, the more colorful the gray world became, and whenever I realized happiness, I became more and more lazy and wanted to settle for the present.
When she faces her own weakness, she briefly reproaches herself, but when she sees Gaon, she wonders if it will be okay as it is.
But this incident changed her mind.
He realized how insignificant his strength was to those who had truly reached the stage of transcendence, and how difficult the ordeal was for Gaon to overcome.
That’s why she shouldn’t be satisfied with the present unless she wants to hold her ankle.
Isabella closed her eyes and remembered a conversation she had had with Lee Incell some time ago.
-Master, how can I reach the level of 10 stars? I don’t know what you mean by asserting her own territory.
– Heh heh! Does it sound like catching floating clouds? I had a time like that too. Isabella. What do you think is the difference between an auror user and a wizard?
-… How to use mana. While aura users focus on themselves, wizards tend to focus on external phenomena.
So while Aura users struggled to put mana on their weapons, it was possible for wizards to cause external phenomena using mana from a very low level.
Lee Incell nodded her head in agreement.
– You know it well. It is often said that the boundary between aura and magic becomes blurred as one goes to higher altitudes, but they are not completely the same. Even the 10-star level is the same. Instead of Aura users gaining their will, wizards have their own realm. This is also the difference between focusing on the inside and focusing on the outside.
– Inside and outside…
-Aura users make themselves the center of the world, and wizards make the world their center. Isabella. What is your world
Isabella opened her eyes.
“My… World.”
She said this world was hell for her. Losing all of her family and fleeing her burning mansion, Isabella’s heart turned gray.
At that time, she was crazy.
His resentment toward the world and his burning desire for revenge burned himself before the enemy.
The fire did not go out even after her return, but rather burned even more fiercely, eventually making her into her revenge ear.
Did you have to become more monsters to catch monsters? As the saying goes, Isabella at some point resembled the people she hated so much.
However, one day, she met a man who tried to understand and accept her.
Unlike her, who tried to burn everything on her as she rushed towards her ruin, Gaon, who tried to save her world, was so radiant.
Of course, when he beat her mercilessly during their second meeting, she resented her, but she got her revenge thanks to her, so she has no complaints.
So her world has also changed.
From inferno, where only unhappiness was imposed, to a world where hardship and happiness coexist.
Isabella became firmly aware of the image of the world in her own image. She and she projected that will into her reality.
Roaring!
The flames that bloomed from her body spread in all directions and pushed Helya’s realm little by little. The worlds of each other collide and create a backlash.
The intense heat heated up the air and opened up a space like an inferno.
It also affected those close to her, but the flames only gently caressed them.
Everyone felt the warmth, not the heat, from the flames and gained a sense of security.
Isabella slowly moved towards Helya.
As if to assist her, her tens of thousands of feathers wrapped around her and formed her gin, further strengthening her own realm.
As if Helya sensed that her territory was being invaded, she stared at Isabella as she struggled to parry the attacks of her Rivera and Gaon.
Right after that, a huge ice spear formed on top of Isabella’s head and fell violently.
The ice spear, which had concentrated a lot of mana, was so powerful that if it was Isabella from a few hours ago, it would be difficult to handle it easily.
But not currently.
The moment the ice spear entered the realm, a flame spontaneously ignited and slowly melted away.
A small fire climbed up the ice spear and spread, gradually expanding its area.
Considering the coldness of the ice spear, it should have been extinguished immediately, but the flame rather increased its momentum.
This is her domain.
Infinity Hell.
The power of Limitless Inferno.
The infinite infernal jade, which burns everything and never goes out until the target is destroyed, gives despair to enemies and hope to allies.
After confirming the power of her own realm, Isabella completely regained her confidence.
She held out her hand to Helya and said.
“It’s my turn this time.”
With that word, the tens of thousands of feathers that had been encamped around her formed formation to encircle Helya, and they began shooting zealot rays from all sides of her.
