Chapter 229
His [Bone Armor] was peeled off once again and his face-to-face was revealed.
His face is full of bewilderment.
In my experience, this expression was nothing short of a sign that the end of this long fight was near.
However, the moment I tried to hit the mace with all my might.
Whiik-!
A cool breeze blows somewhere from the side.
「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia has received damage that exceeds the allowable amount
.
」
In no time, the rock-like skin returned to its original state.
Hearing keenly heated, as if an alerted animal pricks up its ears.
dump.
I heard something fall behind me.
“Erwen!!”
It wasn’t long before Daria’s urgent cry followed.
There was no problem inferring the current situation from that alone.
Erwen was beaten by someone.
So Eli Baba mode ended.
If so, for what reason?
Before I could turn my head all the way in the direction of the first wind noise, I saw the answer.
“Heh, Necrapeto-kun, you’re also not good at it.”
Lush gray hair and a white beard.
Kind-looking features.
An elderly wizard with the same appearance as a specimen of a wizard.
‘Destroyer.’
the guy came here
‘How already? What happened to Kyle?’
The moment you face that fact, a lot of questions pop up.
But…
sigh.
Effortlessly clearing the question, he moves his arm.
It was an unconscious decision made in the blink of an eye.
‘If not now…’
There is no chance.
Eli Baba mode is over now.
Since you can no longer block poison damage, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to deal with the clown and that old man at the same time.
So…
“I’m in a hurry.”
Nimiral.
His left arm lost strength and the mace he was holding fell to the ground.
thud!
A red light passed through my wrist at some point.
I really feel like going back.
‘What kind of craziness is that…’
There was no casting time.
It means that the magic I just used is no different from the basic attack magic ‘Magic Poetry’ to the destroyer.
By the way, the body is pierced by flat blows?
Eli Baba Mode is over, so Exorcism must have returned?
‘No thoughts later.’
question again
Because that’s not what I need to do right now.
You missed the mace?
Then it’s enough to kill it with a shield.
If you don’t have teeth, isn’t it the spirit of K-barbarians to chew and swallow at least with your gums?
pug.
As soon as I missed the mace, I hit the clown’s face with my shield.
It won’t happen all at once, so keep doing it.
Poo-!
I can’t be relieved twice, so one more time.
Whoo-!
It was the car I was about to take down for the third time.
“You’re a fun friend.”
The body stopped.
A sensation as if something invisible was pressing down on the whole body with tremendous pressure.
“I told you. It’s urgent.”
I just rolled my eyes and looked to the side.
The Annihilator had his eyes fixed on me.
He had a basically expressionless face, but he seemed amused for some reason.
As if you found something that sparked your curiosity.
“What’s your name?”
yeah i was curious
“I’ve made Nekrapeto-kun go to that point, but I’m sure he’s not a nameless explorer.”
A voice that doesn’t sound like malice at all.
[No way he’s already there…!]
At that time, Melter Fend’s voice came from the Message Stone, and the Ruinist who interrupted the conversation frowned in displeasure.
yeah, that’s definitely what it was.
[Wait a minute. Let’s go—!]
The message stone on the waist exploded.
Perong!
no, what kind of wizard is this?
He didn’t wield a staff or wand, and he didn’t even have the characteristic hand movements that moved mana.
What rank wizard is this old man?
I’ve heard that it was level 3 before being banished.
“Are you not going to answer me?”
“I am Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
I quickly responded and looked at it.
Melter Fend will lead the main force soon, so he judged that he should spend some time talking to him in the meantime.
“Your name?”
“Little Vulcan.”
“Hmm, that’s the first name I’ve heard of. Then what’s the grade?”
“……I was promoted to 5th grade a few months ago.”
“It’s a 5th grade, so I’m a little more interested.”
The Annihilator looked at me, his eyes widened, and he waved his hand as if moving magic.
Shaaaaaa-!
Colorful light rising from the ground.
Ah, this is the magic I know.
5th grade unique magic ‘Memory of the Earth’.
A magic that replays and shows events that happened in the area.
‘They just use the unique magic of another school.’
‘Memory of the Earth’ is the unique magic of the Earthlyn School.
And according to the researched information, the school that the destroyer belonged to before he was banished was a school that pursued a completely different type of magic.
“Put.”
The Annihilator, who was watching the replay, gazing into the air, let out a small laugh.
“Looks like you’re more interesting now. You said that to Necrapeto-kun.”
That’s what I mean…….
I don’t know if I’m talking about appearance or ‘small’.
But what does it matter either way?
“How’s Kyle?”
The other side seemed to want a conversation, so I asked what I was curious about.
Unexpectedly, he answered meekly.
“That friend is alive. It’s because he’s too precious to die here.”
“…You mean you didn’t kill him on purpose?”
“That friend achieved a lot with the feeling of revenge. If he can throw away even human emotions, he will reach a higher level.”
Like a magician, his pronunciation was fluent and accurate, but even after hearing it, he had no idea what he was talking about.
Is that why you didn’t kill him?
If the potential of the enemy is great, shouldn’t you kill more?
It was a word that never came out of my mouth.
Could my doubts have been conveyed with just one look?
“What does it matter, individual or group, enemy or friend?”
said the annihilator.
“As someone who wants to see the end of magic, I’m just curious. What kind of magic will he leave behind when he reaches the stage?”
“Even if it could kill you?”
“Don’t worry. To reach the level is to throw away everything unnecessary. After all, that friend won’t have any human feelings left.”
I just decided to give up understanding.
People said that he was an old man who became inhuman due to magic, but he really was.
The way of thinking is completely different.
But rather so.
“Okay then, the conversation ends here.”
I also have some expectations.
The faint hope that that way of thinking might save my life today.
“I’m going to say that I’m a little overworked today.”
Only then did I realize that there were bloodstains on the Annihilator’s beard.
I wiped it off, but the traces remain.
‘…That bastard isn’t in a normal state either.’
Whatever the outcome, it is a positive factor.
It was when I was thinking about that.
“It’s been a while. It’s been fun.”
said the Annihilator as if to say goodbye.
“Nekrapeto-kun is still needed by me, so I’ll take him away.”
The body of the clown, beaten with a shield and half-conscious, floated into the air. I couldn’t help but watch because my whole body couldn’t move.
I had mixed feelings.
I really just needed a little more time.
does it end like this?
No, but if you’re going to let us go like this, it might be a surplus business—
“Then let’s die now.”
yes, no way
Squeak.
Soon, the Annihilator opened his hand toward me, and an ominous crimson magic formed over it.
I completely emptied my lingering feelings.
There is nothing new about it now.
Because it was always like that.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
We have to fight.
in order to live
「The character has cast [Giant].」
The warrior’s body once again increases in size as if squeezing out the last of its strength.
Kwajik kwajik jik jik.
As I put strength into my feet, I hear a sound as if the intangible magic that covered my body was breaking.
roughly expected
Isn’t it a magician who is synonymous with efficiency?
Since I’m not in good physical condition, I must have used my mana only as much as I needed.
Tadat.
A body finally set free.
He dashed and kicked the ground.
the other side of the enemy.
“Yandel! I see Yandel!”
It’s not the place where allies run from far away.
fault!
to where you’ve been.
“Hmm.”
The Annihilator looked at me curiously.
Even though I cleared the CC, why didn’t I run away?
But that’s only from his point of view.
How long could he endure with the MP recovered in less than 10 minutes?
‘Twenty seconds even if you hold it enough.’
[Giantness] is over with that.
So that’s the best I can do for now.
fault!
Close the distance and cling to the clown’s body.
That’s for a simple reason.
The old man, who seemed to have no interest in anything but magic, had just said.
[Nekrapeto-kun is still needed, so I’ll take him away.]
I still need the clown.
In other words, you can’t use magic if you’re too close.
That must be the reason why I wanted to take the clown first in the first place.
“You’re wise.”
The crimson magic in the hands of the destroyer was still there, but it didn’t aim at me.
But…
“It’s a waste of magic to just throw it away.”
The open palms turned to the other side.
A place where my colleagues are, not me.
Flash-!
There was a flash of light, and a red orb shot out from the palm.
That was the moment.
“Barhatun Wiar.”
Dozens of stone walls were erected along the route.
It was Raven’s magic.
Somehow, he hadn’t said anything since a while ago, so it seems he was secretly preparing magic.
But it didn’t mean much.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
A red orb that flies fast, destroying stone walls so easily.
“Get down!”
Just like I did earlier, Mr. Bear covered his teammates with his body and summoned a black bear on top of them.
and that instant.
Kwaaang-!
The orb exploded in the air, spewing flames divided into thousands.
The middle ground between me and my distant colleagues.
not exactly.
“no!”
It was the exact spot where Erwen, who collapsed after [Elementalization] was canceled.
It’s as if that’s what he was aiming for from the beginning.
Founded- !!
Like firecrackers made with CG, countless sparks fly and explode after explosion.
Whoa-!
A strong wind brushed my skin.
Even in the midst of this, the Annihilator did not change his complexion and muttered in a calm voice.
“That lady was born with a lot of destiny after you.”
I didn’t know what was going on.
But one thing was certain.
You really were aiming for Erwen.
hard.
My jaw hurts.
It felt like someone had hit the back of the head with a huge blunt instrument.
Is Erwen really dead?
pounding-!
Blood collects in the heart and reason is paralyzed.
But the more I think about it, the more I think of one thing.
What must I do to protect the rest?
‘At least I have to kill this bastard.’
I reach my hand toward the clown’s head.
The Annihilator believed that the soon-to-be-arrived allies would do something about it.
as much as this guy.
Poo-!
The clown’s face was once more thrust into the shield.
But was he still conscious?
“Pooh!”
Like a clown spitting out pooled blood, he vomits blood in my face.
Chiyiyi profit!
A burning sound was heard.
There was no pain, but even in the blunted sensation, I could feel that something was flowing down.
I somehow opened my eyes, but the view ahead was blurry.
‘Venom Hydra.’
It’s his passive skill.
It has similar effects to [Acid Bodily Fluid], but there is a huge difference in performance. Perhaps the corpses of the suicide bombers were remodeled using the blood.
Of course it doesn’t matter.
I reach out my hand beyond the darkened vision.
Kwak.
I was lucky enough to get my hair done.
Okay, I won’t miss it.
hard.
Instead of using his left arm, which has no power due to a hole in it, he uses it to bite him like a beast.
“Aaaaaaa!!”
The soft cartilage chewed.
is this an ear?
“Two.”
Spit out and lower your chin a little more.
What I want is the nape of the neck.
If you cut off all the blood vessels to the brain, even this bastard—
“What a beast.”
A voice full of unpleasant emotions.
Slow-!
Something sharp cut through my right arm.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been sick.
Maybe that’s why the corners of her mouth went up.
“I think I know why barbarians are called barbarians. Everyone is firmly broken somewhere.”
the ruinologist asked.
“Aren’t you afraid of death?”
He knew nothing about barbarians.
They are not fearless beings.
I just learned how to overcome it and move on.
because there was no choice.
Smile and choose the only option.
People called them savages.
They are those who struggle with themselves.
said to be a warrior.
「The character’s soul power is not enough.」
「[Giantization] ends.」
[Giantization] ended just in time.
“Cuck!”
With nothing to hold on to, the body pushed back.
The body rolled round and round.
There was no problem with getting up naturally even if you couldn’t see, probably because of a lot of dog fights.
The problem is a lost sense of direction.
“Impressive.”
yes there it is
Tadat.
I rushed in the direction from which the voice was heard.
Fu-wook!
Something penetrated my stomach.
just that moment.
Shaaaaaa-!
A warm aura embraced me.
It was divine power.
“Yandel! Save Yandel!!”
I heard the voice of Teterud, the dwarf sent earlier to help Melter Fend.
It was pretty close.
[Belbev Ruin Genes!!]
I heard Kyle’s voice amplified by magic.
Filled with emotions of anger, he was calling out the real name of the Annihilator.
Quaang-!
Something exploded in front of me.
But did he step back to avoid it?
“In the end, even that friend came. If you knew this would happen, you shouldn’t have a conversation.”
The Annihilator’s voice grew a little further.
“You know what? I didn’t mean to take my time. It’s just been a long time since I’ve miscalculated. I figured that would be enough time.”
His tone was still calm.
“Well, it’s been like that since the first appearance. I assumed that no one would come up.”
His voice became more distant and faint.
“Congratulations. Being the only victor.”
After that, no more voices could be heard. From this point on, the blurry vision turned black.
I couldn’t even feel the dim light through my retinas.
The feeling of being left alone in the universe.
Took.
At that time, I felt someone approaching me and inadvertently attacked me by swinging my severed arm.
widely.
got stuck in the middle
However, there was no counterattack that I was worried about.
“It’s me.”
I heard the voice of the dwarf Teterud.
“Hey friend… It’s all over…”
Ah.
“So… rest now.”
Ah…….
‘How did Erwen…….’
There was something I had to ask, but no voice came out.
dump.
Today was such a long day.
That was the end of my memory.
