32. Shaiza’s Spear (4)
32. Shaiza’s Spear (4)
Chiiik!ㅡ
Zakat’s spear melted the snow around it and created steam. Every time I breathe in, the hot steam puts on makeup from the inside of my body, which is painful.
“Ugh… city… “
Swear words came out of nowhere. The hatred that swirled inside of me is still not quenched. I wanted to get up and kill Zakat right away. Even so, the body does not move.
I reached my limit.
I realize that this is what it means to rot from the inside and die.
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
●Due to Karma reduction, 4 levels of stat correction are applied.
●Kama. □Small□…
Is my eye the problem? The pop-up indicating the condition of the mechanical heart begins to shimmer violently.
Chijik!ㅡ
「Ki □ Shim □」
Due to ●Kar’s deduction, □Stat correction □only□□ will be applied.
●Kama. □Small□… □□
Thumping, my heart starts beating at an unusual speed. I pressed my chest with both hands and took a deep breath. However, I did not think of reducing the pain in my heart, and with every breath I felt that my body was rotting away from the hot steam.
I want to die. It’s painful.
“Ugh, aaagh!”
I closed my eyes tightly. Then, a scene comes to mind like a kaleidoscope. I had a dagger in my hand, and I reached out and stabbed the neck of a man I hadn’t seen before. The man is about to die. Hold tight to my hand holding the dagger. Smack his mouth
I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but I seemed to know what he was saying.
—-「You are human. Sorry. Woros… I’m really sorry.”
Human? So what if I’m not human? Who this man is. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m so sad. I felt like crying. I thought that a kaleidoscope is a phenomenon that reminds me of what I’ve experienced before I die. But remembering something I hadn’t experienced, it’s ironic.
I thought it was really strange, and I closed my eyes.
*
I gripped my spear and looked up at Woros. A being that is both a Warros Blood and not a Warros Blood. Half of them are in human form, but the other half is the cryptids that they exterminated earlier. A monster in the form of a “Judge”.
ㅡ『Zakat… 』
It seems that he is moving based on the last ritual of Waros Blood. Woros is against me, so the Judge is also against me. The behavior pattern is really simple. I wrapped my magic around the window. Then the flames start burning from the tip of the spear.
“Whoa… “
I just relaxed my body and focused my mind. The target is his heart. I focused all my consciousness on the bastard’s heart. Then thump. The sound of a heavy heartbeat can be heard in the streets. It’s as steady as a heartbeat, but as heavy as a janggu. First of all, I’ll stop that noise.
Thought so, I kicked off the ground and threw myself at him. At the same time, he throws a spear of lightning at me. I used magic to change my trajectory in the air and avoid his spear.
“Take it!”
ㅡ『Zakat… 』
I pierced the spear through his heart. The tip of my spear touched his barrier, and a tremendous flash occurred. In that state, I pushed the spear with all my strength.
Jang-Geurang!ㅡ Dismissal!ㅡ
“… !”
Just before the spear stabs him in the heart. His body started to glow for an instant, and then he landed on the ground at the speed of lightning, dodging my spear. A spear that pierces the air creates a shock wave, destroying everything in its path and moving forward.
Kung!
The shock wave ends with a hole punched in the middle of a snowy mountain visible in the distance. In the aftermath, an avalanche is seen taking place. I gathered mana on the soles of my feet to create a platform, kicked the platform, and threw myself in front of him.
Clap!
“Are you saying it won’t be easy?”
ㅡ『Zakat… 』
“… !”
Sparks begin to rise in his body. Then he opens his mouth wide. With the tip of my spear pointed at him, I lowered my stance to prepare for the attack.
Kwajijik!ㅡ Kwaang!ㅡ
A magic bullet wrapped in black lightning is fired from its mouth and flies away. I pierced the tip of the flying magic bullet with a spear, smoking a huge amount of dust.
Kwajijik!ㅡ
“Ugh!”
With magic bullets pierced with spears, they are pushed back. It is pushed all the way to the end of the pit, and is buried under the ground. Even in this situation, his magic bullets do not disappear.
Koo Goong!ㅡ Awesome!ㅡ
“aaagh! Me… This zakat! Do not look into the water!”
A power struggle with magic bullets. In the end, I succeed in shattering his magic bullet by stabbing my spear into it. However, since it was already buried in the ground, its magic bullet exploded, causing a tremendous shock and an explosion.
Kung!ㅡ Gugugoong!ㅡ
“Ugh!”
The ground has collapsed and nothing can be seen. One thing you can recognize is that earthquakes are starting to happen. I rolled up to minimize the shock as much as possible. When the earthquake stopped, I could see his eerie mana moving, and I gathered mana on the soles of my feet. He jumped up
Kwajik!ㅡ Kwajik!ㅡ
Cutting the ground with his head, he escaped from the ground and came up to the ground. Then I threw the spear at him and looked around.
From noble mtl dot com
Due to the battle not long ago, the topography has completely changed. In the place where the mountain used to be, a huge canyon was formed. It seems that the impact of the magic bullet I fired flew away intact.
At the place where the magic tower used to be, there was a pit that was so wide you couldn’t see the end, and water was filling up in it. I turned my eyes and focused on him. The bastard simply dodges my spear, then reaches out for an extra attack at me. But.
This was the goal.
I am Shaiza’s spear. That spear is given to the most suitable warrior to protect Shaiza. Because it is a spear made by Shaiza, it returns to me at any time, in any situation, or in any form, whenever the owner calls for it.
I summoned the window. With the tip of the spear pointed at me.
Pujik!ㅡ
ㅡ『Zaka… !』
The spear stabbed him in the stomach, and he flew all over me, then he fell to the floor and landed on the floor.
Woros anchored to the floor with a spear stuck in the ship. I approached him slowly.
“The heart… Did you avoid it?”
ㅡ『Zaka… T, cool.”
He coughs up blood. Woros wriggling to get up. However, the spear holds his body firmly, so he can’t move. Then a strange thing happened. The place where the magic tower was built. Now, in a place where only a large pit remains, blue smoke is rising.
The blue smoke clumps and clumps in the air, then explodes with a tremendous, ear-piercing sound. In the aftermath, a storm was created, and I closed my eyes involuntarily.
Hwaaagh!ㅡ
“Ugh.”
A storm has passed. In the aftermath of the magical storm, my whole body aches. When I tasted this mana, a woman’s face came to mind.
A woman who did not let go of the pipe even for a moment and kept up with unconventional fashion covering only important parts of her body. A woman who didn’t even move when her clothes were taken off, a promiscuous woman who was embarrassed when the witch hat she always wore came off. Arisha, the perverted wizard.
“I see… The magic tower from earlier was the magic tower of Arisha.”
I don’t remember much of Arisha’s work, but perhaps because of the location, there is one anecdote that comes to mind. There was a case where she collected her mana and hid it, saying that she would make a magical weapon capable of changing this world.
She was discovered by Shaiza, and she was beaten 30 times in the calf with Shaiza’s staff, sealing all her data and magical powers. She hid the remnants of her magical power beneath her own magic tower, beneath the ground.
That’s why Arisha’s face came to mind while being hit by her magical storm.
“Hmm.”
There are more pressing things than remembering someone you don’t remember in detail.
Doesn’t I have a purpose of killing Shaiza’s successor? Now it has to come to an end slowly. With just that thought, he approached Woros. Then, changes begin to occur in his body.
“Zaka… Mandible! Ugh!”
“It’s over.”
The horns on its head turned to powder and disappeared. The black sparks leaking from his body disappear. The marks of the judge are disappearing from the body. To make matters worse, his personality seems to have returned as well. Looking around him with puzzled eyes is proof of that.
“You’re out of luck.”
“aaa!”
Woros screamed at the pain of the penetrating wound felt in his stomach. He struggles as he coughs up bloody saliva.
“Ughh, uhhh.”
“Waros Blood. Shaiza’s successor. It is over now.”
“Ah… Zaka, Zakat…
I looked up at the sky. Blue glowing orbs were floating in the sky. The aftermath of Arisha’s hidden magic still lingers.
“Isn’t it bad for the last scenery Shaiza’s heir will see?”
Thought so, I approached him slowly. At that time.
Flutter!
“You, you! How are you?”
A person I know well is standing there, covering Woros Blood.
*
I don’t remember exactly what happened. I guess I just gave in to my instincts. At one point, I felt that instinct, which occupied most of me, was gradually diminishing. Let the instinct disappear like that. I felt the cold floor.
Then, a person’s feet are visible. It was a shoe made of sheet metal. I managed to raise my head and look left and right. After I was blown away by Zakat inside the magic tower. I was suffering from steam.
However, the landscape has completely changed. I couldn’t see any of the piled up snow. As if a natural disaster had occurred, pits of great depth were formed here and there. What is it? As I wondered what kind of situation I was facing, a tremendous pain began to rise from my stomach.
Involuntarily, I screamed at the unbearable pain.
“aaa!”
I felt like dying. Then, with a clunk and a sound, Zakat approaches me.
“Ughh, uhhh.”
“Waros Blood. Shaiza’s successor. It is over now.”
“Ah… Zaka, Zakat…
It is painful. I’d rather die. Then the familiar sound of pop-up opening echoes in my head.
Diring!ㅡ
[I feel pain to the point of hindering my mission. It blocks the sense of pain.]
“The mandible… “
It seems that among the options of the mechanical heart, there was an option to block pain sensation when experiencing extreme pain. Without this option I would have been driven mad by the pain. No, I might have been better off dead. Now you will be brutally murdered by Zakat.
It seems that the karma level has returned to normal. There is no longer any means to oppose Zakat. When you think so Geeing from the right hand! The distance is huge, and I can feel the magical energy.
“… !”
When the karma level rapidly went down and went wild. It seems that the last accumulated magic power remains in the hand.
With this one, you can try your last struggle. However, it was an opponent that could not be defeated even if the penalty of [Mechanical Heart] Was removed. Did you just remove the penalty? I also received ability corrections due to karma reduction.
I don’t know exactly how far Karma went down, but even though he used his trump card, it didn’t work. Can I win against such an opponent even if I release the last mana remaining in my right hand?
My confidence is gone. But you can’t just die.
Again!
At that time, I saw a beautiful heel in front of my eyes. When I looked up, I saw a thin white calf and a green cape fluttering over it. Even just by looking at the legs, I thought that someone with legs like this must be incredibly beautiful.
In a place where no one had been before, I suddenly saw a beautiful bridge.
It is probably the last vision you see before you die. Thinking so, I put my head on the ground. Then, Zakat’s voice of embarrassment is heard.
“You, you! How are you?”
I wondered why Zakat was so flustered, so I raised my head. In my field of vision, I still see only the woman’s legs. I don’t understand this situation, so I’m staring blankly at that leg, and I hear a clear and clear voice.
“Waros Blood. My child.”
“Ah… “
I could see the woman, twitching her fingers. Then, the spear that had been piercing my stomach was pulled out and I rolled on the floor. At the same time, the surroundings seemed to shine brightly, and the wounds on his stomach began to heal. While I was so flustered, I heard Zakat’s voice.
“Shaiza! How are you?”
“Zakat.”
“That ring… I created an illusion of you earlier… That’s right, that’s how it happened.”
Shaiza creates a barrier in front of me and lifts me up. Then she hugs me tightly. In the gap, Zakat throws a dagger at us, but she hits the shield and bounces off.
“I’m sorry. Worros my child because I’m incompetent I made you like this.”
“Shaiza… line… “
She holds my shoulders and stares at me. And then you put on an apologetic face. Don’t make that face. I wanted to say that, but my voice didn’t come out well. Shaiza nods her head approvingly and extends her hand. Then, a bottle of medicine appears on the palm of her hand with the sound of Pong!
She hands me the vial, then turns her body to stare at the cart.
“Waros Blood, my child, listen carefully.”
“…… “
“I put a part of my soul in the ring I left for you. You will know that ring well.”
It must have been the Shaiza hologram ring. A strange item that had no effect other than the effect of stroking her hair when using an active skill.
To buy time, I made an illusion of Shaiza, left the ring around the illusion, and ran away.
It was strange when you think about it. There was no way that an item that would only have the effect of Shaiza’s illusion appearing and stroking my hair was classified as a legendary item.
As expected, there was something hidden.
“Arisha. She gave a gift. She tried to create her magical weapon, and through her magic and the ring that she had hidden in her, she was able to intervene, albeit briefly, in this world.”
“…… “
Shaiza turns her body around, comes up behind my back, and hugs me from behind. Then, he grabbed my hand, which was filled with powerful magical power. Her voice was straight, but her hands trembled in sorrow.
It’s not unreasonable for her to face Zakat, her beloved and cherished pupil, as an enemy.
“I don’t have the strength to face Zakat. Woros Blood is my child. Drinking that potion will temporarily restore strength to your body. There are side effects, but I can’t help it. Sorry.”
“…… “
“You have to do it.”
Shaiza strokes my stomach with her hand.
“In this, the soul of Zakat is contained. Destroy it and it will be over.”
“…… “
“Let me buy you some time.”
Shaiza finishes caressing my back before she walks out in front of Zakat. In the meantime, I gulped down the potion Shaiza gave her. Then, the consciousness that seemed to be cut off at any moment became clear.
Perhaps thanks to Shaiza, her courage begins to rise.
“I… I have to.”
With that thought, I tried to take a step forward, but my legs faltered and I fell over. Then Zakat’s voice is heard.
From noble mtl dot com
“Shaiza. Well done. I was about to lose steam without you.”
“Zakat. My child There are many things I want to say to you, but no matter how much I express my sincerity, I don’t think it will reach you.”
“Should I convey my sincerity through words?”
Saying that, Zakat stretched out his hand to summon the spear. But the Zakat spear that was rolling next to me didn’t budge.
“Zakat. You have sworn by that window. You must have set the terms of use yourself.”
“… Was it abandoned by the window? But I don’t think I need to use a spear to kill you.”
“Yes, that is the correct answer. I can’t beat you But Zakat. You, my heir, will surely stop you.”
At her words, Zakat burst into laughter and walked towards Shaiza. With her fists clenched as if she was going to beat her to death.
I put my palms on my knees and pressed them to stand up. Shaiza is already dead. Even if he gets beaten to death by Zakat. He just goes back to normal. Nothing changes.
Even so.
You wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on Shaiza. She cannot betray her faith.
I clenched my fists filled with magic power. The only magic I know how to do is low-level lightning magic. In that magic, I will put all of my magical energy in my hands. Thinking so, she stretched out her arm toward Zakat.
I feel like the story is finally becoming exciting
