131 – The First Apostle
#One
100 floors.
Above all else, a huge door greeted the party.
Because it was the previous year, the demon was not threatening, and the health and mana were perfectly filled in the infirmary.
Cale stood at the forefront and put his hand on the doorknob on one side.
On the other side was Alano.
Cale glanced back and looked at his teammates.
Please, let’s conquer the tower without anyone getting hurt this time.
Everyone nodded.
‘you can do it.’
Looking back on my life of studying and growing up to now, it was quite possible.
Even if she lacked her own strength, she had a strong comrade behind her.
So everyone will survive.
Overcoming adversity, everyone will become stronger and make a name for themselves in the world.
“going-.”
Cale said as if he had promised, then put strength into his hand holding the doorknob.
A huge noise was heard.
At the end of the noise that breaks the silence, what you see is a vast meadow.
The green lawn lifted the dull darkness.
The wind brushing the edge of the grass removed the sense of alienation within the tower.
The party saw a man standing in the middle of the meadow.
‘Apostle.’
Manus recalled the enemy’s information.
100 floors.
The 1st Arcana, the King of Wizards.
[Apostle: Mattia]
He was an apostle who reminded us of the importance of tanking and recovery magic with wide-area magic and high attack power.
The man was wearing a long-brimmed hat and was wearing a robe.
His mask was red, symbolizing fire.
Under the mask that only half of the face was exposed, a pale human face was revealed.
“Come on. traitors.”
“Say… … sun?”
“An apostle by the god of death. There is nothing that human words cannot say.”
He continued, pointing to the vast meadow.
“Isn’t it beautiful? This is the utopia you will meet after death.”
“… … Let’s go to a place like this after death.”
“Those who are alive long for death more than you think. Death is the end of all things.”
A line like a dialogue.
Everyone tilted their heads at the strange words, but only Manus listened to the lines quietly.
What does Morse, the god of death, want?
Every character moves with their own goal.
The apostles who want to spread his will will soon act as Morse intended.
The wizard continued to make noises of catching floating clouds.
“What all intelligent beings wish for. Our god moves towards that direction.”
“Death is what all intelligent beings wish for? Will you please stop saying something funny?”
Nia took a step forward and said.
The apostle, Mattia, looked at Nia and smiled even more.
His eyes glowed red under the mask.
“You don’t deserve to come here. why are you here If you want to come to the side of the god of death, you are always welcome.”
“Do not be ridiculous. I have an important mission.”
Here, too, the meaning of the middle finger was very clear.
Nia confidently raised her finger to express her displeasure.
The insulted wizard returned the corners of his mouth to their original state.
Right after that, huge mana created wind in the meadow.
The wizard prepared for battle.
Same goes for couples.
Melanie and Guillermo stood in front, while the others scattered to take their places.
The apostle’s mana gathered together.
The beginning was light magic.
Roaring-!
A spark bloomed.
‘The pattern is the same.’
Manus also quietly finished casting.
His role today is to assist in attacking patterns.
It was an important day, but no one said why they didn’t come to the fore.
Now that they knew they had to find the answer themselves, they complied with Manus’ decision.
Albion’s soul was felt.
He made a move to help Manus.
[Tootaman: Ratus]
Buff magic that walks in a wide area.
A magic that made the tank harder was applied.
At the same time, the apostle’s magic flew in.
[Raging Flames]
Quarrereuk-!
Is it the power of class 3?
A whip of flame flew at Melanie.
Melanie turned the ground upside down in response.
After learning Matou Science, she has grown to the point where she can’t be pushed back even if she sticks with Ilchwiwoljang and Eagle Class.
Quarreuk-!
A boulder rose up and blocked the flames.
[Glacias]
[Folgetra]
magic flew
The apostle was enveloped in smoke in an instant, but something glowing could be seen all over his body.
Manus opened his mouth.
“It’s a mana barrier. You have to attack and dispel it.”
“Do you have any weaknesses?”
“An apostle who handles magic. There could be something like that.”
After hearing Manus’ words, the apostle nodded greatly.
He looked at Manus and spread his arms wide.
It was an arrogant attitude, as if congratulating something inferior.
Didn’t like it.
To look down on humans at the lowest level, or to make arrogant remarks at a subject that is inferior in terms of talent.
That guy is just a guy who announces the existence of an apostle.
It was a level that could be dealt with sufficiently with the current capabilities.
“Huh, good job. This body is the master of magic. He is an apostle who can handle mana with just willpower.”
“It’s really funny.”
Roaring-!
Anais snorted and summoned a black flame.
If you continue to gnaw through the barrier, it will break someday.
The apostle looked at that figure and his red eyes shone.
He knew his weaknesses all too well.
What threatening magic is, and how to deal with it.
Anais waved her hand, sending out dark blue flames.
[Anais Exclusive Plane: Disolut]
Quiet flames engulfed the apostle’s entire body, emitting continuous heat.
Barriers, stamina regeneration, and other bothersome things were nothing but continuous damage.
Pajijik-!
The Apostle’s barrier began to slowly disappear.
Anais shouted at Cale, the main dealer.
Now, it is clear that they are going their separate ways.
Cale was in charge of the team’s firepower.
“Kale-!”
“Leave it to me.”
[Nitor] – [Folgetra]
[Double Spread]
Kwaji Jijik-!
A pure white light filled with lightning was completed.
A destructive ray created by combining 3rd class divine magic Nitor and 3rd class lightning magic.
The apostle also hurriedly raised his hand, probably sensing the danger.
Urgently attracting mana gathered.
The apostle was complacent.
He only saw Anais’ magic and did not see Cale.
“good!”
[Luna Radius]
Kow woo woo woo-!
The air-shattering magic cut through the air.
It was the power that reached the 4th class and beyond.
The best firepower Kayle can show right now.
The beam of light hit the apostle directly and split.
A beam of lightning struggling to break through something.
While everyone looked at the result with a throbbing heart, Manus gathered mana and started chanting.
‘Everyone is still far away.’
A wizard must always prepare for the next attack.
Sorcerers must prepare for an attack from behind the scenes.
At least it was Nia and Alano who prepared the next magic.
Both prepared offensive magic, but only Manus prepared defensive magic.
he warned aloud.
The next pattern was to shed bloody tears to the users who had just pressed the attack without preparing anything.
“Unleash your defense magic.”
[Aegis – Latus]
A fiercely rotating petal appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately after that, a strong shock hit the entire party.
“You are cheeky!”
[Counter: Recutio]
The pattern of receiving an attack as it is.
It was a magic that distributed the damage suffered by an apostle to all party members, and it was a fatal pattern if the defense magic was not applied in advance.
Kwajangchangchang-!
The petals were broken and the party barely escaped damage.
As directed by Manus, they unleashed defensive magic in perfect order.
This was kind of an experiment.
Will the apostle with intelligence move like in the game, or will he make his own decision and move?
“Traitors, die!”
[Intense Blaze]
Qurrr-!
A tidal wave of fireworks hit everyone.
The party prevented the tidal wave of flames in their own way, but the damage was not very bad.
A coughing sound was heard.
“Ugh… … It hurts more than I thought.”
“Aren’t you too ignorant?”
Scorched conquest here and there.
Charred, dried hair.
Some damage was suffered, but in the end, everyone was safe.
Unknowingly, they looked at Manus in the back.
What would have happened if he hadn’t said it?
I defeated quite a few guards, but I had to destroy them one by one while matching the pattern.
‘different.’
‘There must be senior Manus.’
His charisma watching the battlefield with blue eyes.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Judgment and casting speed that seemed to protect them at any time.
The belief that you won’t get hurt.
Those who felt it all instinctively put a smile on their lips.
[Ah-Ah-!]
Albion howled.
Stealing mana from Manus, activated healing magic at the right time.
The sore spot healed in an instant, and the tanned skin returned.
Now it’s their turn again.
With Anais at the head, the magic flew once again.
Colorful magic flew, and Guillermo and Melanie rushed at it in an instant.
‘There are many ways to break the enemy’s defense.’
[Iktus]
Raise the shield up to the bottom of the eyes and charge using the shoulders and lower body.
The mana handled by the guardian has the effect of breaking the enemy’s defense.
The Guardian, which reduces elemental resistance and exorcism, was an essential force for the party.
Quaang-!
With a strong sound, the apostle’s body shuddered.
In an instant, the barrier engulfed in black flames crumbled.
“I know how to attack.”
“A lowly thing-!”
He swung his hand and hit the shield, but Guillermo deftly blocked the attack.
Vibration of the shrill shield.
It was a rather daunting attack for Guillermo, still a student, to block.
‘It’s not that powerful. I’ll try to avoid blocking them from the front.’
“senior! No head-to-head competition!”
“-I know. They say you’re a wizard, but you’re filthy strong.”
Melanie also actively used Matou to launch long-range attacks.
She is a Spirit Weaver who wields the power of spirits.
When he stretched out his arms and legs with the technique of Matushak, the spirits matched and attacked.
A position with no weaknesses.
Under the relentless attack, the apostle saw that his flawless blessing was shaken.
It was impossible.
Would the blessing bestowed by the god of death, the one to whom he gave his all, be broken in vain?
“flaw-.”
The apostle let out a laugh.
He thought of a way to show his strength to those lowly traitors.
That’s right, his specialty wasn’t fighting ignorantly from the front in the first place.
‘Am I already moving on to the next phase?’
Seeing that smile, Manus narrowed his eyes.
The fight was from now on.
It was also quite encouraging.
In terms of game, it was because the apostle’s stamina was blown away in two turns.
It looked like an easy victory.
Ugh-.
Casting the magic he learned this time, he laughed like a devil.
“This, I look forward to it.”
I was looking forward to the moment when that smile turned to despair.
There was a moment when he knelt in front of those who grew up with him.
Apostle: Mattia’s mana wrapped around the grass and the next phase began.
