Episode 340
“…Wow. Avoid this.”
I laughed at Jin and Theresa, who had avoided my long-range surprise attack with my third eye.
I hid my presence with the effect of the Magical Concealment Elixir, but avoided the attack using [Fire].
It looks like he instinctively avoided it after sensing that he was going to die… but it’s a scary feeling.
[The duration of the use effect ‘Strike’ has ended.]
“Hmm. Something’s missing…
Originally, my plan was to assassinate the Blood Demon and Theresa within the duration of 5 seconds.
Because now, weakened by the long imprisonment, it was a golden opportunity to kill the two with a small risk.
“…Should I be satisfied with killing the blood ghost? Tsk.”
The Bloodghost is a newcomer to Zaun after the Aporia Incident.
Considering the incidents he will commit later, it is definitely an advantage because he cut the buds in advance.
However, I couldn’t help but feel regret because my goal was to kill both of them at the same time within the [Strike] duration.
“Whoa.”
He brushed off his disappointment with a sigh and re-implemented the magic sphere.
Since the duration of ‘Elixir of Mana Concealment’ is about 1 (nearly one minute) left, there
is still a chance.
I reached out and aimed at Theresa, then unleashed an orb of magic.
Paaang!
At the same time as the release, I used [Space Leap], a movement magic I learned from Ilhyun Choi.
I’m still immature, but since I practiced whenever I had time, I didn’t have to worry about failure unless I had to set detailed coordinates. Jin and Theresa
narrowly avoided
my magic and glared in the direction the magic was fired.
—Is there!
A spike of ice quickly materialized above Jin’s head and shot in the direction I had unleashed the magic.
Phew!
However, I have already moved to the location with [Space Leap].
The ice spikes stuck in the air and created a huge dust cloud.
Wow!
-…what? Are you sure it came from there?
I continued moving from place to place in the forest, releasing magic at him. As the magic that could not feel the mana continued to shoot, Terrisa and Jin’s bodies
began to
have small scars one by one .
—…Kuh! How can you shoot magic in all directions and not notice it?!
Theresa’s cry mixed with anger.
Looking at those guys, I smiled a little.
Guys can never find me.
Not only [Concealing Mana], but also [Erasing the presence with the Moon’s resting body] now. If they could
just keep moving places with [Space Leap],
it would be like looking for a needle in the sand.
Fain!
Fain!
I continued moving in a circle through the forest, releasing magic.
Right now, they’re also dodging attacks well, but unless they’re machines, they’ll find a gap someday.
As he continued to release magic,
he was able to land magic on Terisa’s shoulder and both thighs.
— Aaaaaagh!
Theresa’s face contorted in pain and she collapsed on the floor.
Subsequently, Jin, who diligently avoided my attack, also succeeded in creating an effective hit with magic hitting his calf.
_Keugh……!
Perhaps feeling the limits of dodging, Jin created a wall of ice in front of Terisa.
Wood Deuk!
Quaang! Quaang!
After several attacks were completely blocked by the wall, I had no choice but to stop attacking.
It is impossible to break through that wall with the current attack.
But I also have a way.
[Use effect ‘Combat spirit’.]
[Use effect ‘Heart of Mother Nature’.]
Intense magical energy welled up inside the body and gathered in the palm of your hand.
The magical power soon took the form of a soft golden sphere.
At this level, you should be able to pierce the veil.
—…I think this is a big deal.
Then Jin’s voice came through the third eye. It seems that he noticed my intentions.
-hey. Theresa.
—Keuuugh… Why?
—I’m sorry, but I don’t think one of them will be able to return alive.
Theresa’s eyes widened as she crouched on the floor complaining of pain at Jin’s words
.
-…what? no wait jin? no shit Are you going to leave me?
—You know that both can’t survive. I’m not feeling well right now, and the other kids are busy with their own plans.
Then Jin murmured.
—If it wasn’t for that forest, how would there have been a way? He must have chosen this place strategically.
-hey! There’s an ancient barrier! Block that!
Jin turned around and looked at Yuara.
—If that doesn’t work, there’s a chance you’ll get stabbed in the back of the head by it while focusing on the ancient barrier. You can’t even attack first.
Just then, a huge magic orb with a brilliant golden light
was perfectly realized on my hand.
I stretched out my hand and aimed at him.
—…Oh, and I don’t know if you’re hearing this.
Jin muttered to himself. It seems to be talking to me.
—You will find and kill me by any means necessary.
“Is that so?”
he muttered to himself and released his magic.
Faaaang——
A golden orb of magic was fired at him.
Jin must have felt a strong life force and used all his magic power to get out of his seat.
Theresa, left alone,
watched the golden magic shoot through her blank eyes.
and.
Kwahiah — —
A huge explosion broke out on the walls.
[You have defeated S-class villain ‘Terrisa’]
[The causality rate has increased by 1.]
[You have won the battle with the target.]
[The effect of the victory message has increased ‘spell comprehension’ by 10%.]
[‘Strategic victory ‘ Achievement accomplished.]
[Received 5000 points as reward.]
[Winned the battle using space magic.]
[The magic understanding of space greatly increases.]
Huge smoke rising.
When the wind blew, nothing was left where Theresa had been.
I put my hand down and looked around with my third eye.
I could see Jin running somewhere with his injured thigh.
“…If you chase me, I will die.”
Although injured, the opponent has no hope of a head-to-head match against Zaun.
Theresa. And you should be satisfied with the fact that you removed the blood ghost in advance.
“Oh right. I want Lee Seo-joon to be doing well.”
After breaking up with me earlier, Lee Seo-joon moved to the concentration camp, saying he would help the people of the association.
By now, you’re probably fighting a battle inside the prison against the freed criminals.
I moved my third eye and looked inside the prison cell.
As I expected, Lee Seo-joon was fighting an uphill battle against the criminals who had been released.
“It’ll be fine if you don’t mind too much.”
They are those who have been weakened by long imprisonment. Unless you’re a blood demon or Teresa-class criminal, Lee Seo-jun will overcome it alone.
At that moment, I felt the overflowing power in my body disappear.
The effect of [Elixir of Concealment] and the other effects of [Heart of Mother Nature] and [Combat Spirit] were over.
“Whoa.”
I don’t have the strength to move anymore, so I’m going to rest here for a while.
“…finally here.”
When members of Zaun, such as Baek Eun-seong and Jin Lee-chung, are attracting the attention of the association.
Berthe and Natasha. And Aaron arrived at the end of the underground passage leading to Jin Cheonwu’s soul.
When I first entered the entrance, it took a long time due to all kinds of complicated spells, but fortunately there was still time left.
[…Could it be Bert?]
At that time, a voice echoed through the space.
Bert opened his eyes wide at the familiar voice he hadn’t heard in a long time.
“……Adon?”
The voice of Zaun’s former captain Adon.
And after a while, the ghost came to them.
“Adon. You died and became a ghost.”
Aden nodded
at Berthe’s sad words .
[…Well, that’s right. Did you guys come to get him back?]
“Yes. Because it was a promise.”
Berthe muttered quietly.
At that time, a voice came from the communication magic tool.
—Bert Heather and Bell were beaten by Choi Il-hyun!
Scar’s urgent voice.
Berthe’s expression hardened for a moment.
“…Heather and Bell were beaten?”
Heather and Bell. And Scar’s mission was to chase Choi Il-hyun and pass the time.
And for this purpose, he brought an ancient weapon with a ‘movement impediment’ effect.
But no matter how long the raid started, two of them have already been attacked.
Bert gritted his teeth.
Then Natasha, who had been watching quietly, intervened.
“Nice to meet you, Adun, but we’re running out of time.”
[I know. Never mind me.]
With that, Adon moved away.
Berthe and Natasha looked at the magic formula on the ceiling, then injected magical power into the [Demon Purifier].
Soon, the intense mana
was gathered in the [Temporary Purifier] and shot towards the ceiling.
Wow!
A hole was pierced in the ceiling, which was made of security techniques and boasted of hardness.
Berthe and Natasha Yicheng swallowed their saliva and climbed up onto the ceiling.
And when I saw the faint shape of the ghost in front of me, tears began to well up.
“…de finally.”
How long have you waited for this moment?
The moment I saw the god whom I had received after 14 years, I felt both joy and strong guilt at the same time.
Because they thought that God made them look like this because of their lack.
“…Please wait a minute. We will rescue you soon.”
They stood up again and activated the previously prepared holy relic [Anti-Magic Absorption Device].
It was a holy relic that absorbed mana around it and caused errors in various magic tools.
It was for this day that he stole the many terrors and holy relics he had committed so far.
Pajik Pajijik!
When the [Magic Hop Number Device] was activated, the magic formula that kept Jin Tianyu’s seal and the light of various security magic tools began to flicker unsteadily.
Everything is proceeding as planned.
Soon his seal will be broken.
“…Take out Natasha’s ‘Spirit Box’.”
Natasha brought out the only mysterious ‘soul box’ that can seal and contain the soul.
The moment the freed god’s soul is sealed in the soul box, all missions in Aporia are over.
Right then. Adon, who was watching them, said.
[By the way, do you know a guy the same age as Lee Seo-joon?]
Berthe stopped what he was doing and turned his gaze to Adon.
“Are you talking about Kim Seon-woo?”
[I don’t know the name. Except he was a dark brown haired man.]
A dark brown haired man.
Kim Seon-woo is clear.
“Then Kim Seon-woo would be right. But how do you know Kim Seon-woo?”
[That guy took Lee Seo-joon and summoned him through necromancy.]
“…You called him?”
Necromancy is not magic that anyone can do.
Not only does it require a lot of materials, but it is one of the ‘restricted magics’ designated by the association, so I don’t think about trying it.
Also, if you’re talking about a guy of the same age as Lee Seo-joon, you’re talking about Kim Seon-woo.
[okay. I don’t know what conversation they had. It looks like you have something important to say. Not Lee Seo-joon, but Kim Seon-woo. It seems that Lee Seo-joon prepared it on his own without his knowledge.]
At those words, Berthe felt a strong doubt.
…I can’t believe Kim Seon-woo did such a thing.
I thought that there were not only one or two suspicious feelings from Kim Seon-woo, but…
Bert was immersed in complicated thoughts for a while, and then organized his thoughts.
There were many suspicious things, but now there was something more urgent than that.
The immediate goal was to escape safely with his soul.
“Once I got it. Thanks for the info.”
Berthe started to use the [Magic Absorption Device] again to break the seals on Jin Chun-wu one by one.
As time passed, the seal that bound Jin Chun-wu began to crumble.
“……done.”
Sueuuuu
Jin Chun-wu’s soul began to spread widely like smoke.
Natasha opened the soul box she was holding with trembling hands.
“…Oh God. We will bring you safely.”
At the same time, a faint light began to emanate from the soul box.
Soon, Jin Chun-wu’s soul spread like smoke once again and began to seep into the soul box.
The sealing of the soul is taking place.
And when Jin Chun-wu’s soul was contained, Natasha carefully closed the lid.
“…he’s back with us.”
Natasha murmured softly.
Bert nodded and looked down into the basement.
“Then let’s get out of here quickly.”
“yes.”
So Berthe and Natasha Aaron went downstairs again.
Then, he took out the ‘small gate’ connected to the ‘portal for installation’.
At that time, it was heard again from the communication magic tool.
—Theresa is dead.
I heard Jin’s somber voice.
“…Is Theresa dead too?”
Berthe murmured softly.
“I can’t help it. It was something I was prepared to sacrifice.”
At Natasha’s words, Bert nodded and spoke to the communication magic tool.
“By the way, who did Gene Teresa beat?”
-I don’t know.
“…you don’t know?”
—I couldn’t feel his mana. I sniped from an invisible place.
At those words, Berthe’s eyes trembled for a moment.
Magic that does not feel mana.
He had seen magic like that in his mansion last year.
And he was personally convinced of the identity of the person who used the magic through long reasoning.
It was Kim Seon-woo.
Could that be Kim Seon-woo?
Just then, Baek Eun-seong’s cry was heard from the communication magic tool.
-hey! You said you couldn’t feel the mana? That guy from the Rune clan?!
