Episode 271
71. Flowers of Tears, Seeds of Laughter (2)
The stench of blood lingered on the tip of his nose. He vigorously brushed away the thick bloodstains dripping down the blade and headed forward.
‘Three remaining tracking points. I don’t know if it’s possible to raid with this… … .’
Bugs that seem as useful as possible are packed tightly.
In addition to the one remaining time stop bug, a hitbox bug where the attack range is wider than it looks.
Lastly, there is a wall jamming bug that fixes the opponent in one place.
‘I can paralyze you just by touching it!’
No matter how strong the enemy, if you can’t block or dodge the attack, there’s nothing you can do about it.
It’s going to be filled with all sorts of bugs, and the bugs that annoyed players will be used as a trump card.
I really didn’t even dream of it.
“You’re acting like a game dog, don’t let the sound come out.”
Anyway, that’s the one that crossed the line first. Cowardly take hostages?
Siegfried, who was once a member of the Demon King’s expedition, is doing what Thanatos and the baseless pseudo-babies they serve were doing.
“pond… … ! send… … !!”
I held onto my ankles until the very end and cut off the head of the stinger who was stopping me. Truly the realm of fanaticism.
Do they really know what they are doing?
【I just saw him last, and I don’t feel any life reaction anymore.】
Lioner said in a calm voice. I pulled out Aradwa from one of the corpses and headed towards the altar where the Elder was waiting.
It was pitch black, I couldn’t even see right in front of me.
All that is left is the faint light emitted by the sparsely sprouting purple crystal.
Each step, step by step, the resonating vibration strikes the mind. A strangely quiet space.
And at the end.
“It’s really nice to meet you like this.”
With two swords in the ground.
There was an old man sitting cross-legged.
“Fragment of chaos, player Baek Sanwoo.”
* * *
“Did Carjo say I don’t exist? Yes, as a simple human, she would not have sensed me.”
The Elder Siegfried smiled faintly, and Baek Sanwoo pointed his sword as if it didn’t matter at all.
“Where are my friends?”
A blazing blue flame that burns fiercely.
In the meantime, have you completed resonance with Yam Island? It was a terrifying rate of growth.
This is possible because he is a player that transcends the world.
Siegfried rose from his seat, as if slightly floating in the air, and flicked his fingers.
Soon, the altar brightens, and the seven crystals floating in the air slowly descend.
Sleeping within each crystal are Baeksanwoo’s unmatched companions.
They were friends called the Illuminati.
“… … .”
Budduk, Baek Sanwoo clenched his teeth. Vivid flesh that feels ruthless. Even that Siegfried was overwhelmed for an instant.
“Killed… … is it?”
“You know I wouldn’t have done that, right?”
“I will. It would have been left as a sacrifice. In the first place, did you plan to neutralize one of the biggest forces by kidnapping Rona-senpai first?”
“Um, I have to tell you that it’s not. It was not aimed at these students in the first place. Student Lorna was simply brought in as an addition to you while tracking down your identity.”
mere coincidence.
At first, I was going to quickly scan my memories and then send them back.
The moment I confirmed that she possesses special powers, that is, she is living in a world that transcends 200 years of time and space.
Siegfried realized that Baeksanwoo was a player and a fragment of chaos.
It was for the same reason that the Elder sealed the Halls of Time and Space.
transcendence of time and space. If Baek San-woo had risen to become a new transcendent there, even his own plans could have gone awry.
“Do you want to save your friends?”
Baek San-woo did not respond to The Elder’s words. instead.
Kurreung- Kwagwagwang!!!!
A thunder spear barely passed in front of The Elder’s eyes.
Baek San-woo’s sword, which started to accelerate as soon as he threw the spear, sharply pierced inward.
“Are you still a young warrior? It’s amazingly fast… … !”
It was a rush with all his might, ready to kill, but even that was not enough to reach the Elder.
Kagang!
The sharp noise of swords hitting each other echoed through the cavity.
The trajectory struck vertically is blocked by the crossed sword.
A gap that might have been reached if it was only a few centimeters and 0.5 seconds faster, or if it was only 0.5 centimeters longer.
“Siegfried-!!!!”
After that, scattering blue lightning, a huge bear rushed in.
Noewoong’s Lion. A four-star spirit who signed a contract with Arthur, who was Siegfried’s longtime friend and the 5th hero.
No matter how much he was asleep, his strength was enough to dare to rival that of Siegfried.
Obviously, the sky is blocked indoors, but a bitter lightning strikes vertically from the air.
Kwagwagwang!!!
Siegfried kicked the white ox and rolled it backwards.
With the formidable power that even scorched the ground, the Elder spoke with his tongue sticking out.
“I’ve gotten a lot more bitter while I haven’t seen you. Do you have no regard for your old friend?”
“If you’re going to be discussing consideration, you shouldn’t have been treated this way in the first place.”
Lioner just snorted. past is past.
To the Lion, who lives in the present with his new contractor, Baek San-woo, Siegfried’s attitude was nothing more than the struggle of a ghost possessed by the past.
“Did you also call the Liberation Front?”
“then?”
“X foot… … !! Where did the pride of being the last hero go? To keep the seal!!”
“You don’t know how heavy and terrifying the acquaintance Jim is behind my back. If I explain it to you, can you promise that you will agree straight away?”
Siegfried knows. that it would be impossible.
Even the student whom he loved so much as a daughter rebelled without understanding himself.
“This is the aspiration of mankind. As a player, you wouldn’t know. How fiercely we fought back then!”
【That doesn’t justify your actions, Siegfried!】
Part side!!
Another thunder roars.
At the same time, a sharp arrow was fired from the crossbow on Baeksan-woo’s wrist. Bluffing that induces lightning in the direction it is falling.
Siegfried’s footsteps twisted to the wrong beat, and the sword held in both hands spind around and deflected arrows.
flash!
Even that was not enough, he intervened in the path of the falling lightning and counterattacked in the opposite direction.
“Shit… … !!”
Baeksanwoo, who managed to avoid the bounced lightning, clenched his teeth.
strong.
He was the strongest I’ve ever met. I don’t know how strong Gaelum, who absorbed the power of the Demon King, will be.
At least, it was unrivaled among all the powerful enemies Baek San-woo had ever faced.
Borrowing the power of Sephiroth’s tree, more than Tergogh, who all Artel should have attacked.
Even more than Yelia, whose chatter gets cold just by worrying that she might become hostile.
incomparably strong.
“then… … !!”
[Bug applied.]
Kaga-!!!
A shallow flame erupted from the blade that instinctively struck it. is it savagery? Siegfried’s eyes narrowed.
No, no.
The attack range was vague. Even though it was clearly a distance that should not be reached, he sharply dug into the black gap of the Baeksanwoo.
I thought he had reached the level of swordsmanship at that moment.
There was something wrong with the swordsmanship Baek Sanwoo performed. A sense that is definitely different from the false sword that only those who have mastered the logic can use it.
‘It’s scary.’
Siegfried truly thought so.
The fact that he had to trample on such an outstanding warrior with his own hands made Siegfried feel regretful.
However, it is still not enough as a hero who opposes the Demon King.
That drama, chut!
Kaang!!!
At first, Siegfried, who was focused only on blocking, began to catch up with the speed.
Arthur of the warrior, Arin of the archer, Ortana of the wizard. And the Weapon Master Tristone that encompasses all those weapons.
The reason why Siegfried could have been sandwiched between the four outstanding heroes.
All the other companions found rest, but the reason Siegfried was entrusted with the heavy duty of maintaining the seal was because he was born with a sense of ‘comparable to a god’.
the sixth sense.
A master of the senses that others cannot feel or utilize.
As long as it doesn’t continuously attack anomalously, it will be detected in an instant.
The degree to which the seal was lifted, and the degree to which the magic was detected.
He is also more capable than anyone else at understanding the intentions of murder and the insides of a person.
“You are becoming increasingly impatient. Do you feel it’s a futile fight?”
“Shut up!!”
It rides and flows like water flowing along the trail of the thrown sword. In that silence, not even the sound of metal hitting.
“It’s over.”
By the time Baek Sanwoo was about to pull himself out, Siegfried’s hand had already touched.
“… … Well?”
Touching it, I should have grabbed it.
[Bug applied.]
Schwaak-!
Siegfried momentarily twisted his head to avoid the rushing sword attack in front of him.
Red blood flowed from the scar on his cheek that had not been completely avoided.
Surely it wasn’t right in front of you?
When did you step back like that and even counterattack?
Teleport?
not. Siegfried’s sixth sense worked the same way in the case of mana.
No other archmage can trigger a teleportation like this in such a fleeting moment.
‘Time stopped for a moment?’
Siegfried immediately realized why. The world’s time axis was tilted for a moment.
“Huh.”
It was purely because he used a bug, but Siegfried, who had no way of knowing that fact, was sure that the time magic had been activated.
Lorna Aztel.
hinder
If it hadn’t been for the special artifact that he had stolen from her, the space-time stone, he would have surely suffered.
‘Is the seal slightly released?’
Siegfried barely evades the continuous attack of Baeksanwoo and Lioner’s joint attack.
He shifted his gaze to the transcendent of time and space, one of the sacrifices he had captured.
‘The hostages and sacrifices are enough. Even if at least one disappears, it doesn’t matter.’
If Lorna Aztel continued to intervene as before, it might not be possible to guarantee victory in the fight against the Baeksanwoo.
Siegfried’s feet moved quickly.
Since Baeksanwoo was brought here in the first place, the use value of Lorna Aztel disappeared.
Rather, he had not fulfilled his duty as a transcendent of time and space.
It would be right to dispose of Baeksanwoo and the Demon King at the same time, and leave it to the birth of a new transcendent.
‘Break the seal.’
Pachichijik! It runs through the blue lightning that is engulfed in blue flames and passes by a white mountain cow.
【Baeksanwoo!! It must be stopped!]
The Lioner, noticing where his gaze was headed, shouted urgently.
It was too late to catch up with Siegfried’s sword.
“Song of Swords Type 5, Crystal Cutting.”
With the words spoken out, Siegfried’s sword soared diagonally.
“no!!!”
Lorna Aztel’s crystal, half floating in the air, shattered and scattered.
