Natural strength (4)
One shot fired from a distance close enough that they could see each other’s breath with both eyes.
Even so, the mana compressed to the limit completely covered Croken’s entire body without being directed at Lennok or Felix, and then flew hundreds of ters further.
The imnse blue magic light covered the sky and the ground at the point of impact and drew a huge cubic shape.
Aaaaaaang!!
The recoil alone made Lennok roll on the sand and Felix staggered with his hamr in his hand.
“Ugh… … !!”
The gigantic beams fired in an inverted triangle hit Croken’s body thousands of tis in the blink of an eye.
While Lennok convulsed, Felix picked up Lennok’s body and moved backwards in an instant.
“Cool!!”
It trembles its limbs and vomits gastric juices out of its mouth.
Due to the fact that he vomited once during the operation to attack the mobile fortress, there was only leftover magic potion left in his stomach.
Felix looked at Lennok and nodded.
“As expected, compared to the skills and daring you have, your body is too weak. Did your thoroughness co from the weakness of your nature?”
“… … I want you to keep it a secret.”
Lennok, who wiped his mouth with the hem of his sleeve, grabbed his trembling legs and stood up.
“It’s not sothing to brag about unnecessarily.”
“Even if I don’t, I won’t tell anyone.”
Felix laughed and grabbed the cylinder on the hamr handle again.
“I just made sure of that. You are the one who shouldn’t die in a place like this. I can’t let it end here-”
Felix’s words didn’t follow through.
The croken, which landed in front of him like a flash battle, kicked Felix in the shoulder.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
There wasn’t even a scream. Between the tracks of Felix, who flew over a distance of over a hundred ters, only one heavy battle hamr that he had missed remained.
Hot steam rises from all over the magnificent body of the crocodile giant with its legs slowly lowered.
Wow… … !!!
Huge steam as if it had beco a living steam engine.
As the tabolism of the whole body is actively changed to the limit, all the water in the body evaporates and cos out of the body.
If you were an ordinary human, you wouldn’t have been able to withstand that high temperature, tabolism, or evaporation of moisture even for a mont.
Is this possible for a living creature with intelligence like Lennok?
“If you don’t want to die early, stop using the magic of ‘coming’. It’s not sothing a half-penny like you can handle.”
“Big… … !!”
“You’re not lending a hand to an idiot like Antares just to risk your life here.”
At the shock, Felix didn’t even look like he was in a state where he could answer properly.
Croken looked at the faintly twitching Felix and grabbed the handle of the hamr that had fallen upside down.
“I will take this.”
thud!!
At the sa ti as I put the battle hamr on my scaly shoulders, the black magic power that had been swirling endlessly subsided like a lie.
As the horsepower sank between the hamrs, the ceaseless pumping motion of the cylinders stopped.
The figure that Felix made the armour, which was difficult to even control, into his own at once.
There was not a single wound left in the middle of that wide chest.
The [Thunderbolt] that hit Croken head-on.
Despite the crushing firepower that was balanced with the compression and coordination of power, he did not even suffer any damage.
Lennok, who finally realized this, slightly bit his lip and slowly distanced himself from Croken.
“Whoa… … .”
Thought lightning and space leap.
Almost no magic power remained in Lennok’s body after using the miracle twice.
He handed out a little of the remaining magic potion to Aris, and there was not much left.
But that doesn’t an there isn’t a way yet.
Twenty pills of the elixir that the pharmacist Yanusica Greenway handed over as a cure for Lennok’s mana addiction.
I’ve taken close to half of it now, and there are about nine pills left, but with this, it’s possible to move like a normal physical person for close to five minutes.
You can do your best to survive until the end.
‘Can I do it?’
I didn’t think it was ssy. Rather, I acknowledge and accept myself for wanting to survive until this mont.
It’s been a long ti since he stopped hesitating at the boundary between life and death, making up his mind and answer, but Lennok has never forgotten its aning from then until now.
The hand reaching for the neck armor inside the inside pocket of the coat no longer trembled.
However, Croken looked down at such Lennok and quickly withdrew his magical power that had been oppressing the area.
Whoo!!
As if a candle is blown out by a strong wind, the giant’s magical power disappears in an instant, as if it were dominating all directions.
The will to fight that disappeared like a lie. The mont Lennok stopped at that sudden action.
Croken crouched down with his warhamr slung over his shoulder, eting Lennok’s gaze.
“Possibility.”
The crocodile giant’s elongated snout was heavily curved.
“To be honest, if I didn’t feel that from you today, I was going to kill Myung before he finds out… … .”
thud!!
At the sa ti as standing up, the earth shook loudly.
“There is no need to do that. I would have thought that he would already be asuring the way to directly deal with space and territory at that level.”
“… … .”
“As a result, if you understand the aning of interfering with ti and space, you will eventually be able to look at the sa place as us. I knew that, so that’s okay.”
The bright yellow pupils move and look down at Lennok’s face.
“Co into Pandaemonium, Ban.”
“what… … ?”
“I don’t really care what the captain and Myeong are up to. I bet you do too.”
“… … .”
“But they are much smarter than you think, and they are also foolish.”
The croken, whose eyes flashed, flicked its tongue.
“At least enough to grant you one of your most earnest wishes.”
Croken Asilus doesn’t know what kind of existence Lennok is.
The magic he uses, his talents, his bowls, and his goals.
But the old rcenary, who had survived decades of rolling on the battlefield and beca a legend, seed to know what he wanted and wanted.
The crocodile giant, who was rubbing his shoulders as if his body was stiff, snapped his neck from side to side.
“Looking at the stupid face… … . I had an interesting experience in a while. It was much more fun than I expected, so I’ll stop here.”
Croken, who looked at Lennok’s confused expression with an amused expression, slowly turned his head.
“You don’t have to decide right away. But you will soday rember what I said.”
The sand wind blows violently, and the figure of the croken striding across the horizon disappears little by little.
Only his heavy voice echoed faintly through the raging storm.
“Even a person who has seen the end once has a set answer that can be given alone.”
“… … .”
Disfigured and half-buried in the sand, Lennok stared at the vacant spot where the monster had disappeared without a word.
The turmoil that began and ended with Croken’s whim.
The landscape is so terrifying that it is hard to believe that all of this had nothing to do with his original purpose.
A truly helpless ending. But Lennok didn’t stop thinking.
Conversation between Felix and Croken. The attitude of the giant who seed strangely worried about Felix and the aning of the dream that never ends.
Even a series of words left as if tossed at Lennok. None of it was sothing to be wasted.
Crucially, Croken’s disparate response shown in the last clash.
Lennok clearly rembered his behavior, as if he was trying to test the aftermath of the lightning strike head-on.
‘No matter how strong the body is, it is impossible to be completely free from the aftermath of thought lightning.’
A zero-range bombardnt fired by a level 7 Astral Wizard half-prepared for death. It was a lethal blow that even accurately hit the pit of the stomach.
No matter how hard and strong the body of a crocodile giant is, it is normal for traces or aftermath to remain.
However, if there was still not a single wound on Croken’s body that rose again.
Isn’t that the power of the microcosm of the inner world of that monster?
A move thrown by Lennok in the middle of a power struggle with Felix. If I had taken out a part of the image of the monster who felt sothing there.
It is also understandable that Croken suddenly ended the battle and threw this and that to Lennok.
What did he see in the lightning that Lennok fired in the previous clash?
If only I could find out about that ability through experience and conversation battles so far… … It wouldn’t be completely impossible to attack Croken either.
Even so, Lennok had to manage to convince himself.
The gap between the disastrous outco of this battle and that monster that felt terribly distant.
“… … damn it.”
inside the coat. Lenok let go of the neck armor given to him by the dicine man and slowly fell backwards.
Lennok, who covered his eyes with one hand, closed his eyes and relaxed.
The operation to attack the mobile fortress was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble.
Even though he felt that the series of events that had begun with the coup of the National Guard had now ended, Lennok could not easily rise from his fallen position.
Even though I know very well that there is still a lot of work to do and work to do.
Lennok wanted to lie down like this, even if only for a mont.
* * *
Near the North Continent. An unknown mid-sized city.
It is large enough to escape the domination of exceptional individuals, but small enough to call itself a nation.
A woman was squatting and burning a cigarette in the spacious office of a high-rise building that was brightly lit until late at night.
Every ti I took a sip, the light flickered and shimred into the dark room.
click!
At the sa ti as the lights were turned on, the scenery in all directions ca into view at a glance.
Strange parts scattered all over the place and a mass of mucosal machines pouring out sli.
She stood up with an expressionless face as she looked at the grotesquely wriggling chanical tentacles.
Kwajik!!
One squirming head that survived until the end.
No body remains below the neck, only dozens of wires wriggling that once connected the head and body.
In a trembling voice, he vomited the whole battle.
[how… … Okay?]
“I confird that the network that backs up your consciousness is damaged.”
Clap!
Kneeling in front of her head, she answered in a nonchalant tone.
Her hands began to rapidly dismantle chanical parts made of hard tal.
The head asked as he watched himself disintegrate in front of his eyes.
[Not even 10 minutes had passed before the plan that borrowed the strength of the National Guard in Balkan ended in failure. Even we didn’t expect this level of damage, how could you… … ?]
“We regularly exchange information with Echo. I was just preparing in advance thinking that I might not know.”
click!
“I didn’t even think it would turn out this well.”
She completely opened the part corresponding to the human skull and confird the data chip embedded in it, and made a complicated expression.
Now that the network that backs up Gearside’s consciousness has been shattered, they are just ordinary humans with one life.
If this data chip is disassembled and destroyed, the existence of Gearside will disappear into the dark side of history.
[Right. Will the malice that started with the failure of the Ascension Gate eventually hold us back here… … .]
The head that sighed quietly laughed at the woman.
[But your co-workers won’t know who you’ve been collaborating with.]
“… … .”
[I knew you were obsessed with picking up the epic failure of the Machine City, but I never thought I’d bow down to the Pandemonium. It’s like joining hands with the devil to take responsibility.]
“… … I don’t think I heard anything from you who tried to hold hands with them until yesterday.”
as the woman said
The one who scattered his body and collapsed in this place was the one who tried to join the Pandaemonium with the leader of Gearside intact.
Why did he, who was once one of the foremost magical engineering authorities in the Machine City, fall to this point?
Both of them knew it all too well, but didn’t dare to say it.
The tragedy that occurred in the machine city at that ti was a by-product of the madness that was common at the point where the end of the world was approaching.
A long ti has passed since then, and the regrets and sorrows have been buried and forgotten in the sands of mory.
All that remains is duty and responsibility and hatred that still lingers.
Despite the sharp answer, the head of Gearside, whose head remained, let out a slow laugh.
[Whoops… … . The ending is unconvincing, but I have to accept it. I too have overco countless inconsistencies and walked this far.]
“… … .”
It’s an infinitely unfair world. Money, power, fate and fate.
The man knew that if he gave up everything to stand at the pinnacle, his turn might co back one day.
Tentacles sprouted from the lower part of his neck and rustled like waving hands.
[Give my regards to the doctor.]
Kwajik!
The woman reaches for the data chip in her head, then clenches her fist and smashes the entire chip.
Slow applause echoed behind her as she stood up in awe and looked at the horrors she had created.
A man whose expression and expression could not be read was smiling while leaning against the door of the office.
“Good job Mai. As you’ve heard, it’s a perfect job.”
“… … doctor.”
The woman called Maya turned her head.
“Originally, this friend could have been a mber of us too… … . Things have changed with what happened in the Balkans.”
Said the doctor, who jumped over the rubble and walked into the office.
“It’s unfortunate, but since the analysis of the research and technical data that Gearside possessed has been roughly completed, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
“Your words are very clear-cut. If the negotiations with them didn’t break down, you wouldn’t have thought of calling .”
Maya said, glaring at the doctor.
With that alone, the lifeblood that ca out of her body beca an intangible thorn and began to sprout through one side of the office.
“Do you rember why I joined this organization?”
“I’m sorry about that.”
While watching the scene right in front of his eyes, the doctor smiled softly.
“I appreciate your skill, Mai, but I don’t really like people who confuse ans with ends.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it natural that a good picture cannot be drawn when emotions are mixed in an important negotiation process?”
After saying that, the doctor tapped Maya on the shoulder.
“Anyway, you’ve got one of the goals you wanted, and I’ve cleaned up the annoying stuff, so let’s move on. I didn’t call you because of today’s work.”
Maiya twitched her hand as she saw the doctor walking carelessly with her back turned away.
Even in the chanical city of Makina, where all sorts of bizarre techniques and mysteries prevail, her skill as the best enforcer might be able to kill her before she even notices it.
But in the corner of her head, desperately yearning for success, in the end, instead of reaching out her hand, she started walking after the doctor.
Because the intuition created through decades of skill and experience was sending a warning, not just this mont.
The mont you use the trickle, you may experience sothing worse than dying.
Neither death nor the pain that led to it scared her, but Maya still had work to do.
“… … Aww.”
The doctor who walked out of the corridor looked at the scenery in all directions and let out a low exclamation.
It was because the corridors of high-rise buildings and stair elevators were filled with piles of horribly smashed machines.
gear side. The appearance of the ard group that led not only the leader but also the number ring under his command is nowhere to be seen.
To complete such a sabotage operation alone and without damaging the exterior and interior walls of the building at all.
Even with the eyes of a doctor who knew nothing about close combat, it was not difficult to guess how refined and polished Maya’s skills were.
“so. Where should we go this ti?”
asked Maya, who was walking behind the doctor along the corridor.
More like an assassin than a warrior, unlike the other mbers of Pandemonium, she often took care of this kind of dispatch work, so it wasn’t awkward.
It must have been possible because Maiya herself accepted joining Pandaemonium as a kind of transaction.
“early. On the edge of the sa North Continental Plateau.”
The doctor answered in a cheerful tone.
“An anomaly occurred in which the aurora hanging in the sky of the North Continental Highlands disappeared. Considering where the aurora originated, it can be said to be very important.”
“… … .”
The doctor muttered sothing insignificant, but Maya imdiately understood what he ant and stopped walking.
It is because she, who has lived as an enforcer of the machine city, also has so knowledge of the anomalies that exist throughout the continent.
And if it is the origin of the aurora that always hangs over the northern highlands-
“… … It’s the place where the ideological campaign of the 9th level ascender ‘Jindun’ unfolded. That ans… … .”
“okay.”
the doctor replied.
“The Ascendant has moved.”
