133Rd Chapter. Solara’S Choice (1)
“Kali! Look at this!”
“You son of a b*tch!!!”
[Kali’s Soul Stone]
[Status: Good]
[A magical tool made by processing the soul stone of the Great Druid Kali. It will bloom when the time comes.]
It is a magic stone created by condensing all the magic that came out of Kali’s body.
I can’t let it go without turning my eyes.
As expected, Kali screams and chases me right before catching up with me.
‘That’s it.’
This created a 1:1 ratio.
[Stats]
[Strength: 19(-5) *Paladin penalty applied]
[Health: 44(-5) *Paladin penalty applied]
[Magic: 50(-5) *Paladin penalty applied]
[Agility: 25(-5) *Paladin penalty applied]
[Luck: 10(-5) *Paladin penalty applied]
‘Damn it.’
However, the moment the penalty went up to the ground.
The Paladin also turned off.
In this state, I can never catch up with Kali’s speed.
But······
‘It’s not just stats that have grown in the meantime. I can overwhelm you enough.’
I have become stronger in many ways since subduing Kali.
Of course, if I go up to the ground now and turn on the Paladin, I can handle it easily, but it is difficult to avoid human casualties on the ground.
“So with the penalty! I’ll catch you somehow!”
Snap.
I cross my fingers and make a seal.
Then my magic penetrates the space in front of me and draws a huge octahedron magic circle.
It is a basic 0-step magic circle.
A simple and simple magic circle with no function.
“Ugh?!”
“As expected, your movement. It was accelerated by witchcraft.”
However, the moment I entered the magic circle, Kali’s movements slowed down significantly.
The significance of the 0-step magic circle is to declare this space as my space.
It is not yet possible to apply witchcraft to space, but on the contrary, it is also possible to prevent the opponent’s witchcraft from being applied.
Kali’s witchcraft cannot take effect in this.
“Keuk?!”
Kwoong!
Kali’s body is crushed to the ground as I strike it down with strong telekinesis.
The moment Kali’s movements slowed down and came to a complete stop.
Pulling out the magic sword, I put my energy into the tip of the sword.
Shhh!
White sword energy flying through the dark space.
The sword energy hits Kali without giving him a chance to react, and pierces the upper body of the woman’s body.
However, it was difficult to cut the bone with one shot.
In the same place twice, three times.
Continuously stabs the sword energy.
“Kiyyaaak!!!”
Finally, the spine is cut off, and Kali’s upper body is cut off.
Since there should be a human upper body where the spider’s body’s eyes should be, I thought it would block my view.
Soon, a hole appeared in the spider’s body, and pupils appeared inside it, staring at me.
What is that.
Is that Kali?
No.
Now, it would be more appropriate to call it a monster using Kali’s body, not Kali.
-Ehihihit. hehehe. Kali is in perfect condition now. If you cut your eyes, eyes will appear, and if you cut your legs, legs will not appear. If you cut it into pieces, it will regenerate as much as you cut it!-
At that time, the ceiling collapsed, and a boy slowly descended from above.
I looked into his face and froze in place.
It was Solara’s younger brother, Xenon.
Held in Xenon’s hand.
Cardinal Nicolas, no, Luna giggles.
“What did you do to Xenon!”
-I fixed his heart. It was what Solara wanted. hehehe······-
Crazy guy.
Xenon’s heart is already dead.
Perhaps what Belpegor suggested was to transplant a living heart, but Luna’s approach was a little different.To kill the dying heart and revive it with necromancy.
Can that be called a fix?
Well.
At least Sola won’t be happy.
-Heehee! The mastermind who killed Kali, killed Belphegor’s avatar, and made the main body run away in fear! Show me what you’ve got!-
“······.”
Numerous eyeballs sprouted from Kali’s body.
The lower body grew from the upper body of the woman who had been cut off and stood on two feet.
Kali, who had suddenly become two.
And behind me, Zenon was preparing to cast a spell, gathering enormous magical power.
I was outnumbered and surrounded, despite being at a disadvantage in stats.
In this situation, even if I turn on the guardian knight, I don’t think I can win.
But just one.
There was only one way to win.
“It doesn’t seem like a good idea, but I have no choice.”
-Show me your strength, mortal!-
Creak.
I jumped forward like a bullet and cut the girl body in half.
The spider monster, which had been slowed down by the seal of the spell, still managed to reach me in an instant.
I kicked its hard leg with my sword and slid under its body.
“Kyaaah!”
Bang!
The explosion magic that flew from Zenon’s fingertips hit the spider monster’s body directly, but I, who was underneath, was unharmed.
I got out from under its belly while the spider monster was staggering from the damage of the explosion magic.
Then all the guys who had been surrounding me in front and behind were placed in front of me.
The siege was lifted.
“Dakia-ryu secret technique!”
“Kuaah! It’s coming again!”
-What’s coming?-
“Iron-blooded Storm Slash!”
I swung my body and scattered a net of white sword energy.
The spider monster, who had been hit once, closed its eyes and raised its hard legs in a defensive posture.
Kali, whose girl body had been cut in half and then regenerated and doubled, was shattered as soon as she got up.
Zenon also responded with a barrier.
Before I knew it, all around me had become a battlefield where rubble and dust were flying, and I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.
-Where did he go?-
“He’s running away!”
Of course, I wouldn’t miss that chance.
While the guys were fumbling around in the thick smoke, I quickly climbed the ladder and headed for the ground.
“Don’t run away and give me my magic stone!!!”
It’s not running away.
It’s a forward retreat.
It’s a charge to the rear.
.
.
.
“Haa······ Haaa······.”
Jill, who had come up to the ground, witnessed a shocking sight.
The soldiers were all collapsed.
The paladins were wounded and crying out in pain.
Jill’s legs moved on their own.
And her hands began to cast healing magic in a hurry.
“Ugh. Saintess······.”
“What’s going on? What about Cardinal Nicholas?”
“The Cardinal is strange. The Cardinal called out Zenon’s name, and suddenly Zenon appeared and used explosion magic to······ all of us.”
“This can’t be.”
When I looked back, I saw Zenon slamming the ground with explosion magic.
Soon a hole was made in the ground.
Zenon, who was levitating in the air, descended into the hole with Cardinal Nicholas in his arms.
“Support, we need support······.”
“I heard the news! I’ve called the main force of the Holy Knights!”
“Cornelia?”
At that moment, Cornelia came running through the crowd.
She was carrying a girl with pale skin on her back.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling about the girl, but there was no time to ask who she was.
“The main force will be here soon? I understand. Then I’ll go down.”
“What?! There are enemies everywhere down there, why are you going down, Saintess!””Eugene is down there. And Eugene is surprisingly strong when he’s with me. Even for Eugene, it would be difficult to deal with a spider monster and a wizard who uses levitation at the same time.”
Jill turned around without hesitation and walked towards the entrance to the basement.
The main force of the Holy Knights, who would soon subdue these monsters, was coming.
All she had to do was hold out until then.
If she failed, she would die with Eugene.
It seemed much better than living alone after Eugene died.
“Eugene will never get out. He values the safety of others more than his own life. Eugene is that kind of person······.”
Eugene must be acting foolishly again.
He wouldn’t come out even if he died.
Just like when he saved me······.
As she thought about it, she prepared to go down again, but for some reason, the girl was also trying to go down without saying anything.
She grabbed the girl and tried to stop her.
“Hey. It’s dangerous down there-“
“Don’t run away and give me my magic stone!!!”
Eugene jumped out of the entrance.
The spider monster broke the entrance and sprang up.
Eugene shook a black magic stone in his hand and quickly left the cathedral.
The spider monster followed him, breaking the wall and chasing him.
Jill and Cornelia looked at them as they moved away.
“Ah!”
Then, Zeno came up floating in the air.
His indifferent expression looked around at the fallen soldiers and knights.
As he began to gather magic power at his fingertips again, Jill’s face turned pale.
-Zeno! Stop messing around and go after him! Kaliga’s eyes are on that guy! You have to kill that guy to control Kaliga!-
“I will······ obey your orders······.”
Zeno nodded as if he agreed with Cardinal Nicolas’s orders.
He put away the magic power he had gathered at his fingertips and hugged Cardinal Nicolas.
He flew into the sky and headed in the direction where the spider monster and Eugene had disappeared.
It was an unexpected situation, but Jill’s trust in Eugene did not waver.
‘He’s luring them somewhere.’
Eugene is luring the enemies.
But why is he heading towards the city?
Eugene wouldn’t fight while sacrificing people······.
“I guess I have to go after him!”
“Then I’ll······!”
“What are you going to do following him when you can’t even fight? I’ll ask you to explain the situation when the main force arrives.”
“······.”
Jill grabbed Cornelia’s shoulder, who was about to follow her, and stopped her.
Nothing would change even if Cornelia came.
She would only get in the way.
It was an objective and obvious truth.
Before she knew it, Jill was running far away.
Only Cornelia was left in her place, gnashing her teeth.
“Huh? But where did the girl vampire······.”
Cornelia looked around and belatedly noticed that the girl vampire had disappeared.
Meanwhile, an emergency was declared throughout Cologne.
Amidst the loud sound of sirens,
Eugene was running through the square, which was completely empty because everyone had evacuated.
“My soul! My magic! Give it back to me!!!”
“I haven’t opened this yet! I’ll give it back to you when I’m done with the gacha!”
The spider monster was overwhelming in terms of pure speed.
However, as Eugene continued to run, he laid out magic circles on his path, so the spider monster had to keep stopping to release the acceleration spell.
However, even though their speeds seemed to be about the same, Eugene was clearly being caught up.
It was natural because Eugene took time to climb over the wall, while the spider monster broke it and came over in one breath.
Before they knew it, the two of them reached the alley.
The distance between Eugene and the spider monster was less than 10 meters.
Eugene’s legs were stiff because his magic power was exhausted.
Eugene fell to the ground, rolling.”Ugh! Haa! Haaa! They’re all here······.”
“You rat-like human child! I’ll kill you! I’ll absorb your death soul and be fully resurrected!”
From Noble mtl dot com
The spider monster made a strange noise, its eyes on its body squinting grotesquely.
The spider monster was now in a state where it could not resist impulses and emotions as a side effect of the resurrection.
When Kalika died, she failed to become a ghost and harbored a great grudge against Mijeong.
But greater than that grudge was her longing for the death soul.
If she absorbed that, she would be able to resurrect not as this grotesque body, but as the complete druid Kalli.
The spider monster would do anything to get the death soul.
Literally anything.
“Return to a handful of dirt.”
“······.”
The iron-like legs gradually approached.
Eugene, who was exhausted from his magic and had his stats reduced, had no way to respond, but he smiled instead.
At that moment, the ground sank with a thud.
“I’m not the one you’re going to face.”
“······?”
The ground began to rumble.
For a moment, it seemed like an earthquake had occurred.
But the spider monster’s pupils shook as it noticed that the epicenter was not very deep.
There were not many beings who could exert such formidable power.
Bang!
A gauntlet shot up through the dirt floor.
Then, a knight in full armor crawled up, scattering piles of dirt everywhere.
A blond, disheveled hair that was all over his body.
The one-eyed knight stood up with a fierce grin.
“Mijeong. Mijeong, come out. I’ll kill you.”
Overwhelmed by the momentum, the spider monster cowered.
