“This child… … Aww!”
Riveni swung the scythe of the abyss carelessly, and the thieves and bodyguards who jumped out of the darkness were slaughtered and tumbled to the ground.
“Are these idiots? Don’t you know who the dangling head here is? Oh? Oh Bing God? Anyway, they are them.”
In the meantime, Milek put his hand into the darkness. Secret Dark Spirit (暗交潶聆). It was a technology that could send a probe to a place where darkness reached.
“It’s so hard that you won’t have to find it, warlock oppa.”
At that time, Milek skillfully escaped from the flaming arrows that radiated violent heat.
The roof of a half-collapsed wooden building, an archer was aiming at them with a bow. Beneath it, a black iron giant slung a double-edged ax over his shoulder.
The upper one was Archer Rem, and the lower one was Bart. After a moment of silence, Liveni shouted, pointing with her finger.
“Mielek! that’s it! The bad guys who stole my prey earlier!”
“Funny, who says who are the bad guys?”
Scared of Rem’s objection, Bart took a step forward, carving a crack in the ground with the weight of his heavy armor.
“Namryun sword wave (嵐輪劍波), Bart Euryunth.”
Giving one’s name to one’s sword faction was a common courtesy that disciples of the Empire’s most prestigious sword faction, the Ilseong Seven Swords (一聖七劍), show before killing someone.
Therefore, it was traditionally regarded as an expression of will and an emanation of murderous intent, saying that I will kill you from now on.
Liveni, who smiled leisurely, had a slight wrinkle between her brows.
‘It’s the male ring of the Seven Swords… … And Yuriunse? It’s a surname given to a first-class student. Another difficult opponent. annoying.’
The Namryun Sword Squad was a sword clique based in the eastern mountainous region of the empire, and the weapons that represented the sword clique were large weapons such as hammers and axes. Only big, heavy weapons.
“Strongly, only strongly.”
The academic tradition symbolizing the Namryun swordpa was as above. Milech huffed and stroked his chin.
“Bart Uliuns… … If so, are you Bart and Lem’s money copying adventurer? That you subdued the mutant Rat-Spider Queen.”
“Hey, tell me straight! It’s Rem and Bart’s money copying adventure! My name comes first!”
Rem shouted, and Liebeni’s eyes glowed an ominous dark blue. It was the color of the abyss.
“What, did you guys get rid of my cutie?”
“… … !”
“If it’s something like that, I’ll have to kill it with all my heart after a long time!”
Dude, the mood has changed. Bart chinned Millek to Rem. You meant to take over there.
A sense of urgency amplified fiercely.
A feeling of tension that made both hands wet with cold sweat.
Right after that, the two sides collided, and it was Rem’s magic arrow that seized space first and tore it apart. As Milech lightly dodged and closed the gap, Rem fired five arrows overhead.
‘It’s annoying, is it a drunkard’s splitting firewood… … .’
An arrow that had ascended into the sky spread in countless directions and rained down like rain. It was a combat method created by the palace key, which raised the archer’s short-range response ability to the limit.
However, Milek had a specialized ability to hunt these long-range shooters. Because I was able to move through space through darkness.
“Even if I looked down on this Myeonggung Palace, Rem-nim, I looked down too much, you ignorant!”
However, at that moment, the arrows that fell on the ground as if they were going around Rem turned into flames and completely removed the darkness from the surroundings.
‘… … How can I change my fighting style?’
Rem smiled and placed a new arrow on the string, and the arrow’s magic power swirled red-hot, and the heat of the flame swirled from the arrowhead.
Kaaang—————!
Meanwhile, the blades of the ax and sickle collided below, and countless sparks flew with a sharp sound.
After receiving several slashes from Bart without giving her time to cast spells, Liveni changed her form of defense to evasion.
His mouth was getting more and more distorted because his body was almost blown away by the wind pressure driven by the vicious ax blade.
‘This monster rice cake is not at the level of a simple disciple, is it?’
I heard that Oh Boong-yeong is a mid-to-higher level of skill among gold-rated adventurers. So, is this guy at least top tier?
‘Sheesh, it’s annoying and the match is unfavorable… … !’
In an instant, poisonous smoke spread thickly from the chant left by Liveni at high speed.
Right before his vision was blocked, Bart was already swinging his axe. Bang, the smoke dissipated with an surreal explosion in the atmosphere.
However, for Liveni, it was enough to earn a very short gap anyway. He landed on the far outer wall and bent the ring and middle fingers of his left hand back with a low moan.
“Ancient dark, soft, and heavy that dwells in darkness——!”
Runes, the letters of power that rise after the chant, scatter dark blue light in the air one after another.
If the power of a 3-star witchcraft is augmented with black magic, its power surpasses that of a 4-star. Once the magic was cast, there was no chance of winning.
“… … !”
Perhaps to lighten the weight of the axe, Bart threw the ax high above his head and charged, carving huge footprints on the ground.
No, not because of the weight.
This is the manly man’s secret technique that throws the body first, followed by weapons, sealseondo (人仗先導).
Originally, if you hold a weapon, your options are limited when it comes to the attack of the charge or the attack after the charge, but what if you throw the weapon and hold it again right before you crash into the opponent?
A myriad of options open up, starting with bare-handed fighting, as well as increased mobility and the fact that opponents can’t read your attacks.
“—I, Ribenny, lead the ancient contract!”
It was a win by a single point.
Bart, who quickly closed the 50-meter gap in just four steps, stepped forward with his left foot and twisted his body.
“Accept my order here and now——!”
The ax whirling in the air was flying toward Bart’s right hand.
“Bart!”
I don’t even have time to grab the axe.
Put power into your fists.
Just like this, he slams his head down and smashes his skull.
“Liveni-sama!”
Kuung, the double-edged ax that had not been touched by the master slammed into the ground and exploded, the blue-black runes vomited a bewitching darkness, and Bart’s iron armor stretched out as if tearing through the space in front.
A short silence enough to make your heart beat once.
Bart’s fist ripped through the air, but Liebeni, who avoided the fist with a narrow gap, smiled and put her hand on Bart’s breastplate.
“Good-bye, rice cake.”
The extreme form of black magic, in which the flesh clinging to the bones completely melts away, and later even the bones melt and explode.
Before Bart could react, the taboo magic power ignited in the caster’s palm.
The black mist extending from the grip wraps around the black iron armor, and the space creaks——the next moment it scatters into countless particles and shatters.
“… … huh?”
momentary confusion.
what? Was this a spell? No, it can’t be. It should have completely wrapped around this rice cake stand like a snake by now?
It was the voice of a third person who gave the answer.
“It won’t come out even if I wait a million years.”
A boy staggered out into the streets of death glistening with blood. Between the messy black hair, the two eyes shine bright crimson.
“I erased it.”
With the exception of Millek, the three looked at them in bewilderment.
Although the shock Rem, Bart, and Libenny received had different meanings in many ways… … .
Libeni raised her eyebrows after confirming the identity of the boy who appeared leading the mana dancing violently.
“What, how is that alive?”
The boy, Lane Ludwig, threw off the bloodstained glove. The palms under the gloves were strangely wrapped in bandages.
“Stand back, Rem, Bart.”
As soon as the bandages were removed, §, the overbearing brilliance emitted by unfamiliar runes began to encroach on the blood-stained world.
“It is an honor to know.”
Then, in a gesture that felt even reverent, they joined hands and signed the hand sign.
“Because you are the first to see my image.”
La (羅). Make two circles and two diamonds with your fingers. The moment the hand sign was made, the image of the boy was overlaid on the landscape of the world.
“Construction of imagery, Sejon flow.”
* * *
“The boundary of the image is not to gain new power.”
It was clearly written in 『To the Truth』, which contains the life of Riot Warden.
「The image barrier is just a mirror that reflects one’s depth, and in the end, it is just a barrier that maximizes one’s own power.”
There are a total of four powers of Sejon Yoo that I realized through in-depth research in a short period of time.
1. Flow: Characteristics of flow.
It is the power that can convert the runes engraved in magic into other runes like water flowing.
2. Quantity: Characteristic of counting.
It is the power to instantly calculate the runes and mathematical formulas required for the desired magic.
3. Se (世): the form of the world.
It can be said that it is the most fundamental power with the power to spread the barrier of the Lord Yoo.
4. John (尊): The trait of augmentation.
Any type of magic, if it is magic built through image barriers, is the simplest yet most powerful power that unconditionally increases its power.
These four runes unfold in a clockwise direction with me at the center, and when I exert power, light emanates from the corresponding runes.
Now, as the barrier is unfolding, it is as if a brilliant beam of light is emanating from the rune of the world.
Three (world), mystic magic that can only be expressed as vast spreads rapidly around me and builds a barrier.
It is dustproof.
A world of mystery that only I can create. In a circle that stretches from north to south, east to west, with me as the center, the runes of each of the lords of the world shine brightly.
“Imagine barrier?”
The always calm Millek blinked his eyes. Imagery, wasn’t that the realm of the sages who rose to the ranks of the six stars? Is that a kid like that?
“You’re laughing, at first glance it must be a bluff hallucination!”
In a moment of bewilderment, an intense whirlpool of destruction created by the chant of denial erupted from Riveni’s mouth and attacked Lane.
“The shape of the magic square is a double triangle, and the runes inscribed are Yu(游) and Jang(場).”
Fire property magic is endowed with the traits of ‘floating in the air’ and ‘expansion of barriers’.
Originally, it wasn’t a power that could be blocked with 2-star magic, but… … Uh, the story changed when John (尊; augmentation) rune scattered magical light in the image barrier.
From noble mtl dot com
The wall of flames rose fiercely, blazing with heat that could not be called 2-star magic, and struck back the whirlpool of destruction.
“Convert rune inscription. Lu (瘻), Tan (彈).”
The moment Lane crossed her hands, a beam of light gushed out from the flow rune of the barrier, and Riveni and Milek’s entire body trembled uncontrollably.
The barrier of flame breaks apart.
with countless fires.
Then… … How can those sparks fly like rain without a chance to be astonished?
“Transformation of written runes?!”
“How did you do that… … ?!”
It was an extremely advanced skill to change the rune from an ability that had already been activated.
To the extent that there are only five people in the history of the Empire and the Republic who have done that.
In the Empire, two wise men and Archmage Rin, and in the Republic, the heroine’s party priestess Friede and her apprentice Tureina.
– It’s a failure. If you can’t do this, you can’t call it a success.
So said Turaina, the creator and mother of Riveni.
After it turned out that he couldn’t convert the rune inscription, he, who was called a success, quickly became a failure… … .
Millek hurriedly recited water-attribute spells (black magic has a bad compatibility with fire magic) to block the bullets of embers.
“We have to get out of here for now!”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up! I’m going to kill that one. me, me!”
“Liveni-sama!”
The puzzle is now solved. Right. He was also the master of the four-star magic that got rid of the Rat-Spider Queen. It’s not like scrolling… … .
There is no odds here.
The runes inscribed on the tongue must block the five senses with jeung (蒸), intestine (場), and hazy fog before escaping through the darkness.
At the moment when the steam exploded violently and spread out, Lane stretched out her left hand forward, and light emanated from the rune of quantity.
“Creating Runes. Jun(撙), Seon(搧).”
By combining the basic runes using the Six Books, the principle of formation of runes, the runes of Jun (撙; Suppressing) and Seon (搧; Fanning) are created.
At the same time, five examples come to mind among thousands of mathematical expressions written in the rune of quantity. This is the mathematical formula for using this rune.
The equation to be solved is ideal. It is a formula that calculates the coordinates by taking only the limit in the integral domain of the definite integral.
“no… … ?!”
“Where are those runes… … ?!”
At that moment, the wind seemed to blow from the sky like a fan, and the fog was flattened to the ground by the wind pressure, completely opening the view.
The powerful wind pressure that hit it not only affected the fog, but also affected people.
Millek, who was trying to subdue the runaway Riveni by force and lead him into darkness, was stopped for an instant as his body became heavy.
“This, this… … !”
The moment Lane pointed at them with his index finger, vines of flame wrapped around their limbs.
The silence that suddenly came to the world that was in chaos due to the rampant superpowers, and finally, one knee of Rain, who vomited blood, was bent.
‘It was close, it was really close.’
With this, I’ve now consumed all my mana… … . He hid his rapid breathing and raised his knees.
“If you try to move, the flames will burrow into your body and you will die in an instant, so don’t do anything stupid… … Ugh.”
Rem hurriedly approached and helped the staggering Lane.
“So kid, don’t overdo it!”
Bell Sidious, which had been shining in Lane’s eyes, lost its light, and the image barrier broke and scattered like cherry blossoms in spring.
From image barriers to power… … .
It was a fight that had to use all of its strength to the limit beyond its full strength. If it hadn’t ended here, I would have died. Liebeni grinded her teeth.
“You, what are you… … !”
“Questions, I ask questions. you like that… … Who the hell made it look?”
For some reason from earlier, Liveni, who had been glaring at Lane as if she were going to kill her, wondered if she was laughing as if she had lost her mind, and then she was delighted.
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that you can convert some rune inscriptions! The real me! They look the same and their skills are amazing! My mother’s success in receiving Rin’s soul is me!”
The moment I understood the meaning of the words, my eyes and mouth naturally widened.
my soul?
A vessel for my soul?
Who the hell… … The moment I was about to ask that, a strange rune I had never seen before in my life vomited dark smoke from the roof of Liveni’s mouth.
“This is until the end… … !”
Knowing that it was the final resistance, Rem threw an arrow into the string, but strangely, Liveni looked up into the distant sky and began to frantically pray for her hand.
“Oh, Mom! wrong, wrong! I, I was wrong! I will do better, so please, Mama, please, please, please———!”
If I had the magic to use the Bell Curious, could I have gotten rid of it? However, I thought that even if it was removed, it would not have served as a human being.
Because the smoke touched Liveni’s body, which rotted terribly and then melted away, giving off a bitter smell.
Perhaps it was judged that the opponent had used a supernatural power, the flame prison ignited the flames and burned Millek’s body, who had closed his eyes as if he had resigned himself.
“Wow, madman. He doesn’t scream once.”
Rem, who watched the scene of the burning ceremony while biting his lip, shook his head as if shuddering.
“Are you okay, Lane?”
Bart asked as he approached, but Lane just stared blankly at the burning bodies.
‘A vessel to contain my soul? What the hell are you black wizard bastards up to… … .’
I couldn’t even make a light guess. It’s been a long time since my brain exceeded its limits from the moment I swallowed black magic twice with Bell Curious.
fluff.
Bart supported Lane, who was about to stumble once, but passed out and fell. Rem took off her cloak and wrapped it around Lane’s body.
“Your body is hot like a ball of fire. It’s the same as back then.”
“I must have overdone it again.”
“Well, I just used this ridiculous power, but there’s no way I could be fine. But what is the mental barrier?”
“I don’t know the details either… … I remember that it was a magic drama.”
Rem crossed his arms and opened his eyes as if he was embarrassed, then tilted his head.
“Oh, um, I really don’t know. I think I said the same thing last time, but what the hell is this guy?”
A cold wind from the basement blew in. The wind was lukewarm enough to feel uncomfortable with the warmth of the dead.
“No matter who he is, Lane is our ally.”
Bart spoke briefly and moved towards Sammy with the rain on his back, and Lem followed suit with a puzzled laugh.
“Funny, who said not when?”
