Chapter 462 – Runaways and Shouts

000

Kshat’s arm, which boasted a body one head larger than Cleon’s, seemed to no longer need a child’s toy such as a spear.

The magic of the water overflowing from her body made the special blood flow in her body her even faster.

The accelerated blood flow vastly enhanced her physical abilities and reaction speed of her, transforming her into a superhuman who felt no pain.

Nevertheless, above her head her, the blue blood that continued to flow from her body her was coagulated, and the number continued to increase, changing like a ‘sculpture made of water’ that could not exist in reality.

“Sasha. Take a look inside her body and confirm where her magical power flows.”

Cleon looks at her and asks the girl standing next to her.

Sasha nodded her head, strengthened the imprint of her eyes her even more, confirmed the flow of magic flowing through her body her, and the moment she tried to confirm the strongest part her with her eyes her-

As soon as a roar or a scream-like cry erupted from her mouth her, the weapons floating in the sky rained down on the three people.

“Wow!”

“Kuk!”

When Sasha’s mouth her screamed in bewilderment, and when she looked at the absurd amount of weapons from Cleon’s mouth her, her body her tensed up.

“Galatine! A wall of flame!”

The next moment, as if to block the two of them, a greatsword of flame fell vertically from the sky and stuck to the ground.

A huge, thick wall appeared that evaporated the incoming rain of armor the moment it touched it.

Of course, it was made by Quon, and the heat generated by the Holy Sword of the Sun strongly shows its presence and protects the body of the party.

“Oh, it’s amazing, Mr. Quon!”

“Not yet! They keep coming!”

When Cleon shouted that to Sasha, who was admiring Quon, Kshat’s hands jumped into the air and assumed a posture as if they were grabbing something.

Then, inside her hand her, the magical energy of the water gathered once more, and a magical sphere that seemed to be condensed with the power of the sea was formed-

‘Huge magical response…!’

“Galatine, once again-“

“No! Not this time! Quon, avoid!”

Quon, who retrieved the holy sword with her own hands, said so and this time tried to create a wall of flames toward the sky, but Cleon felt a magical response from Kshat and threw her body her away as if pushing Quon away.

Next moment.

What was fired from Kshat’s hand was a ‘huge magic pillar’ as thick as the pillars of a temple.

“Now, I’m not kidding…!”

Schrödinger, who was looking at it from Cleon’s pocket, stuck his tongue out at the output of Kshat.

“Quon. Are you okay?”

“Yeah… Thanks. But how did you know?”

Quon and Cleon quickly get up, and Cleon answers her question.

“Ah. I almost suffered a similar attack a while ago.”

At Cleon’s words, Schrödinger goes back to his pocket while blowing a whistle that does n’t work.

Meanwhile, Sasha confronts Kshat, who lands on her land her, and distances herself from her with a rapid barrage of her arrows.

And yet, those eyes, those gazes, did not depart from Kshat even for a moment, staring straight ahead.

It is to capture the flow of the river that exists in the body of Kshat, who uses mana violently.

There was no way that his body was under any strain to use magic so quickly and powerfully.

No matter how much, along with the strengthening of the body itself, even if it acquired physical abilities that transcend human beings.

‘Just a little… Just a little more…!’

While moving at her tremendous speed, Sasha’s eyes her shine even more in order to somehow put her rushing at her, regardless of Sasha’s arrows her, within her her field of vision her.

OK-

Amid the sensations sharpened beyond her limits, she felt the illusion that Kshat’s body had slowed down a bit.

‘I suddenly slowed down…!?’

However, after confirming that even the arrows she fired were slowing down, Sasha realized that Kshat was not slowing down, but the world itself was slowing down.

‘This-?’

The moment after Sasha felt a strange sense of discomfort.

“Sasha!”

As Cleon’s voice pierced her ears, her senses returned to their original senses in an instant.

And, only then did Sasha come to her senses her, realizing that her tail and ears her had grown even longer, and that her sign language had progressed further than usual, and she rolled over again.

Chew! With the sound of her clatter her, Sasha’s powerful claw and fin slashes swung past her at the spot where she stood.

Sasha quickly lifted herself up from the recoil of her rolling off the ground and covered her face her with one of her hands her.

[Sasha. Don’t raise the power of imprinting too much. If you cross the line where you and I can coexist, even I can’t hold on to your ego.]

“Haha…”

Then, if you take a rough deep breath as if to calm her mind her, Sasha’s body sinks as her hydration her is gradually released.

However, Kshat could not stand her target her standing so still, and when she swung her arms thick to crush her Sasha her with her own massive body her-

“Kuh…!”

Kwajik! There was a sound, and Cleon blocked the fist with her caliburn and stood in front of her as if to protect Sasha.

“Cleon, sir…!”

Sasha was staggering and unable to move from the spot, the aftermath of her imprint her still lingering on her body her.

“Quon! Take Sasha back!”

“Yes!”

When Quon approaches Sasha, grabs her from her waist, and lifts her up, Sasha bites her lower lip and calls out to her, Cleon her.

“Cleon-san! The place where her mana her gathers the most her is her wrists her…!”

Hearing that, Cleon nodded his head and infused his magical energy into Caliburn again, causing Kshat to retreat greatly.

Then, fixing her posture her, with a sword in one hand and a black sparking magic in the other, I jumped into Kshat’s arms her.

Kshat crossed his arms boasting steel-like skin to block Cleon’s charge, and at the same time, tried to save his body her with a magical blade.

However, in the next moment, a number of thorns came out from the sphere of black flame that rose from Cleon’s back her and grabbed Kshat’s arm her.

“Flare Spike!”

An automatic tracking magic that combines restraint and attack, which Lyla has been using for a long time.

Made by mixing ‘black magic’ with flame magic, it has the additional effect of lowering the target’s magic resistance and channeling magic power deep into the body.

The blazing dark red thorns coiled around her arms like plant vines, raising the temperature on the surface.

Of course, it was suppressed to the extent that it did not burn, but as a human, it would feel unbearable pain.

“Kuh..Aaaaa!!”

As he expected, the kshat’s mouth uttered a scream, staggering back.

When Cleon saw it, he quickly sent his magic her containing dark magic toward her wrist her.

“Mana Shock!”

Dismissed! As the sound of sparks bounced off, the black lightning bolted precisely to her wrist.

Cleon’s purpose for her was to create a temporary paralysis by disrupting the magic system running through her body.

His special magic her, Mana Shock, was also specialized in incapacitating the opponent.

In such a situation where mana flows through his body her all the time, he puts a mana shock into the place where the flow of mana is particularly strong.

You can forcibly cause a ‘short’.

Just like Laila once suffered from it.

“Aaaaa!!”

Indeed, a black jolt ran through Kshat’s body her, spreading from her wrists her to her whole body her.

And, flopping, Kshat got down on her one knee.

Cleon tried to completely stun her with her next attack, but-

Then, the glyph of dominance on her skin her glowed bright blue once more, erasing the effects of the mana shock that had covered her body her.

“What…!?”

Thanks to her body her being restored, she stood up again and inflated her body her one step further, becoming gigantic to twice the size of Cleon’s her.

“Damn it… Can’t it be done with magic shot from a distance…! What the hell is that body…!”

Not only that, but as a countermeasure against receiving magic from Cleon, if you put on yourself a translucent magic shield all over your body – something similar to Quon’s magic.

Although Cleon kicked her tongue her, he might not be able to subdue her without hurting her anymore, so he raised the power of her Caliburn and confronted her with the light of her even stronger holy sword her.

Watching the fight between Kshat and Cleon, Fleur cringes.

Because she brought Kshat to this place, she came under Laplace’s control.

And, as a result, Cleon and his friends are in danger…

‘I… What should I…’

As Fleur clutched his head her, as his master her, he was trying to come up with what he could do.

001

It was when she was six years old that Kshat came to the Descartes mansion and became her servant.

No, rather than becoming a servant, it would be more accurate to say that she was ‘sold as a slave’.

It was Laplace who sent her her, and at that time, even with his position her in her kingdom her, he wasted her budget like a bottomless poison, and continued to use her money in the coffers of her regressors at will. That was taken out.

On the other hand, unlike Maxwell, who expanded the influence of regressors within the church, and Darwin, who took care of others as the spiritual and practical decision-maker of the regressors, Laplace’s research results created strange creatures every time-

It was all about repeating death after not living for a few days.

The Descartes family, which had grown greatly, had long since completely become the sponsor of the regressors, and many things were possible because of the support of the Descartes family behind the enormous activity of the regressors.

In the meantime, Laplace continued to waste the budget, so it was because Oldburn, Fleur’s grandfather, told him, ‘Because anything is good, put out a result’.

‘I never thought the day would come when that old boy would nag us!’ Laplace laughed, but it was also true that Darwin and Maxwell’s stars were stinging.

At that time, he sent a Kshat, a creature created by combining a fish-man and an ancient marine life form, to Oldburn.

It must have meant, ‘I will send you my latest research results, so please look at cutting off the subsidy.’

When he first received the kshat, which arrived anesthetized and put into a culture tank full of experimental solution, Oldburn covered his forehead.

How the hell am I supposed to deal with her?

The Regressors were a secret organization, and what they did had to be done in the dark, in the shadows.

What they needed was a shadow-like existence that could infiltrate anywhere unnoticed, rather than having the supernatural power to destroy everything around them at random.

It’s not like a monster that accidentally breaks the chain that had been wrapped around you as soon as you open your eyes, breaks the culture tank, and turns the mansion into a mess with the blood that flows from your hands.

Old Burn let out a sigh as he looked at Kshat, who was forcibly subdued in front of him and was struggling to crawl on the floor.

“I don’t need these violent slaves. Dispose of them.”

When Oldburn ordered so, with her infinitely cold, solemn face her, her her guards her, who overpowered her at her many sacrifices her, lowered her ax to the neck of her kshat her.

Fleur, who had taken refuge in a safe place, ran over with a popping sound and pulled Oldburn’s trouser toe.

“Grandpa. I want to be friends with that kid.”

At that time, she was still a young girl, and was an ordinary girl without a strange mask on her face.

And, in the mansion, he was also the second highest ranking person next to Oldburn.

Naturally, when her voice echoed her, the guards panicked and stopped her ax her.

Old Bunn looks down at her own granddaughter, slowly enough to hear her snapping.

What did she just say?

Did she say her friend she wanted it?

When his stern expression and serious eyes turned to Fleur.

“Okay!? Then Grandpa should help! Cancer!”

At the sound of that voice looking down at her Fleur with her big smile Her, her guards Her stare at her own master, Old Burn, in amazement.

‘Hurray! I love you, Grandpa!’

And, in response to Fleur’s attack, Oldburn said ‘Kuuuuu’ in a voice similar to when he drank cold beer.

He was shouting as he looked at the guards who were looking at them strangely.

“Did you hear!? Fleur says he loves me! Wahahahaha!!”

Although Oldburn was an executive of the regressors, the lord of Eratus, and the head of the Descartes family.

Her own granddaughter was incredibly soft, and her granddaughter her was an idiot.

Of course, it must have been caused by the death of his daughter and son-in-law in an accident shortly after giving birth to their granddaughter.

Oldburn Descartes was a villain who drove the world into chaos from the point of view of mankind.

As if it were a reaction against it, it was infinitely soft towards his own people his.

Oldburn thoroughly humanely educated her Kshat her so that she could become her Fleur’s friend her.

Basic Liberal Arts, Housekeeping, History, Mathematics, Korean Language.

As expected of Laplace’s artificially created child, her intelligence was not that low.

She refused to study at first, and each time Fleur spoke to her kindly, she gradually improved her attitude towards her.

She eventually got to the point where she was doing her studies by reading on her own.

Laplace created her, freeing her from the pain of the numerous experiments he had done when reshaping her body her, and the punishments he inflicted her whenever she did not move properly.

It was only Fleur’s human kindness toward her that gradually restored her heart her, which had been filled with hatred and anger.

Not only for her Fleur her, but also thanks to her Cartesian family her who educated her to be human.

As he grows up, Kshat becomes more suitable as a servant of the family.

At some point, she became a recognized person not only in the Descartes family but also in Eratus, and she vowed to give her all to Fleur who saved her.

Contrary to herself, as she grows older, she realizes the dark side of her family, and as a result of being repeatedly betrayed by those she trusted, she becomes extremely shy with Fleur, and she vows to protect her her.

“So, in case something dangerous happens. Please do not hesitate to call me by my name. Lady. At any time, under any circumstances, I will follow your orders.”

She knelt down in front of Fleur and swore.

002

Kshat’s body her, which became even larger, was truly a living disaster.

Each swing of her arm creates a shockwave, making it impossible to get close to her.

The magical field of water surrounding her body reduces all damage to her body.

If there had been someone who could use lightning magic, the story would have been a little different.

Mana Shock was similar in nature to lightning, but in reality it was just black magic.

If killing was his goal, he would not have struggled this far.

However, as Cleon and the others, who have to control her power her, in order to subdue her without killing her, the brakes were applied to her output her, so her fight her was dragged on like this.

“Brother, are you okay!?”

When Schrödinger raises his voice from his pocket, Cleon nods silently and wipes the sweat from his brow her.

“Damn… I wish I could have helped with something… Yes! Hey bro wait!”

Schrödinger abruptly slipped out of Cleon’s pocket and flew into the tent where his assistants were gathered.

After chasing Schrödinger with his eyes for a while, Cleon seems to have run out of patience as Cleon continues to block or avoid his attacks his.

Kshat raises both of her arms and slams them down to the ground.

Then, the ground trembled a little, and her mana her, which penetrated through the cracks in the ground, surged up to the surroundings.

And, Cleon and Kshat. It was to create a ‘water ring’ surrounding the two to limit Cleon’s range of movement in her.

“Cleon!”

“Mr. Cleon!”

The voices of Quon and Sasha, who had spread their distance and supported them, resounded like that, but Cleon’s figure was no longer visible.

Cleon inside the ring also looked at Kshat while clicking her tongue at the limited distance she could move.

Kshat’s face has been frowning ever since she began to be under Laplace’s control of her, as if she were screaming at the fact that she couldn’t control herself like this.

Her pattern was her, she said, as if she were in tears, down her eyes her and towards her chin.

“Kuh…Ah…”

“Kshat…You…”

Kshat seemed to be screaming in pain, and Cleon looked at her with sympathetic eyes for a moment.

Strongly eating her heart, she injects strong magical power into the holy sword.

[Caliburn.]

[Yes, I know. Healing at the same time as cutting, right? To the point where I won’t die.]

Cleon nodded her head and held her caliburn high in the sky.

Then, the intense light of the holy sword rose as if piercing the sky, and soon the concentrated light particles created a blade.

Kshat steps back from her, staggering in the blinding light.

“Sorry… Kshat…!”

Maybe, she will leave a scar that will never heal again.

Cleon thought so and tried to strike his sword her.

“For a moment!”

But then, a voice came from behind.

“Brother! Use it to cut through the water wall and release it!”

“Schrodinger…!?”

Cleon briefly thought about something at the sound of that voice, then she struck the holy sword he had made to cut down Ine Kshat in the opposite direction, tearing through the water wall created by Kshat.

Then, beyond that, a group of investigators holding a cannon mounted on a drone in his hand her. And there was Schrödinger floating above it.

“I’ve adjusted the output! With this, I’m going to blow off the mana shield on the guy’s body and restrict his movements. He’ll take advantage of that opportunity and fire his magic again at close range! “

Cleon was dumbfounded by his words her for a moment, then he tossed Carly Burn up as if he knew right away.

Caliburn emits a strong light from the spot, still blocking Kshat’s vision.

As soon as Cleon moved out of the line of fire, Schrödinger raised his voice.

“Launch!”

From the cannons held by the assistants, weaker cannonballs rained down on Kshat than those fired earlier to attack Cleon’s party.

However, that alone was enough to make Kshat’s body stagger, and most of all, perhaps because of the lowered power, if the attack was repeated faster than when saturating Layla’s magic barrier-

Soon, the magic wall that had been created around her body was shattered.

“Okay! The magic wall is gone!”

Hearing Sasha’s voice watching her through the storm, Schrödinger quickly gives the order to cease fire even as shells rain down on her.

“Go! Brother!”

“Cleon!”

Quon and Sasha’s cry.

The moment Cleon burrowed into her arms her once more and tried to slash the mana shock at her gigantic wrist her.

[Even if her senses her are numb, she must have forgotten that I can control her. She’s It’s checkmate. Cleon.]

As Laplace’s voice echoed, Kshat’s arm her moved against her will her and tried to strike Cleon down.

“Sss-!”

Cleon, too, could not block the attack as he let go of Caliburn.

But then.

“Kshat!! No!!”

A sharp voice echoed across the plains.

Cleon was a voice I had never heard before.

When Fleur, who has taken off her mask and revealed her bare face her, her pure voice her, tries to restrain her by calling out the name of her Kshat her in such a high voice-

The swinging arm her stopped.

“Miss…”

[What!? How could her voice her, more than the pattern of dominance …!]

At the same time as Laplace’s panicked voice was heard-

Cleon put her hands on both of her wrists at the same time.

Directly connected to her body her, so as not to fail this time.

“…Mana Shock!”

Using magic, her magic circulation system was completely disturbed this time.

“───”

From her mouth her, without even being able to scream, the pattern on Kshat’s body lost its luster.

When Laplace’s voice could no longer be heard, her body slowly fell forward.

Her gigantic body her contracted rapidly and returned to its original size.

“Kshat…! Kshat!”

And, Fleur runs over and examines her body.

Kshat still seemed to be conscious, but her whole body’s magic nerves had already suffered damage from her, so it was not strange if she fainted at any time.

“I’m… I’m fine… I’m sorry… Miss…”

And, Kshat who managed to squeeze out his voice of her.

When Quon came running and used recovery magic on her body her, her face her became a little more comfortable.

“And… I’m sorry… Cleon-sama… I made an absurd, rude mistake.”

“…No. It’s okay. More than that, it’s better not to talk until you can control yourself.”

Looking at Kshat, Cleon talks to Fleur.

“The wagon is broken. It’s dangerous to go back like this. First of all, it would be better to use the crew’s wagon at the camp in the wilderness or send someone from Eratus.”

“…”

Fleur looked at him for a moment at Cleon’s words in her, then slowly nodded her head.

And then, Sasha approached before she knew it and handed over the mask she had dropped to Fleur.

“Gwa, are you okay? Mr. Fleur…”

“…It’s okay. Because we came here, we put everyone in danger…”

“No. Laplace must have appeared either way. It was just a coincidence that Kshat was here. Don’t blame them too much. The problem is Laplace.”

At Cleon’s words, Fleur nodded her head once more, took a deep breath, and pulled her mask back.

“First. Let’s go to the temporary tent. We need to contact the underground raid team and decide what to do.”

Like that, when Cleon tries to get up-

Kshat’s hand reached out and grabbed Cleon’s hand of hers.

“…Cleon, sir. I have a request for you. …The pattern of outrage and subjugation on my body… Can you do something about it? As long as this exists, I am Laplace. -No, not only to Laplace but also to Darwin. There is a possibility of being dominated by a single command.”

“──.”

Cleon was silent for a moment at her words.

“Why me? It would be right to ask the sergeant.”

“…I have already confirmed that there is neither a seaman nor a magician who can apply this pattern. …However, with the ‘magic swordsman’s imprint of dominance’… It is possible to overlay the pattern from above. I have never heard of it. There is.”

At Kshat’s words, Cleon’s pupils shake for a moment.

Of course, considering what he did to Ruba before, it’s definitely possible.

However, knowing that far meant that Kshat also knew what actions were necessary to carve the mark of control.

“Kshat…?”

Fleur didn’t seem to understand.

“… It’s okay, ma’am. I’m prepared. …It may be difficult right now, but- Cleon, would you accept it?”

Cleon naturally turned his gaze toward the two people around him, Sasha and Quon.

Sasha nodded her head without any hesitation, and Kuon also had a slightly complicated expression, but-

It was soon after that she nodded.

“…Okay. But, that’s only after going back to the camp in the wilderness.”

Kshat nodded at Cleon’s answer, and soon, as if he had lost his mind, his whole body’s strength his was drained.

“I’ll move her to her her tent her… And, thanks to her her earlier her, Fleur. For stopping her her body her.”

Fleur silently shook her head, got up from her seat, and left slowly.

Somewhere, Cleon had to say something to her, who seemed so downtrodden.

Quon shakes her head and talks to Cleon.

“…I’ll look after Fleur-sama. Cleon, take Mr. Kshat to the tent.”

“Yes. I’ll ask.”

Somewhere, she must have felt a sense of kinship with Fleur, and Quon approached her while talking like that.

When Cleon, who looked at it for a bit, moved to the tent with Sasha.

In its place, there were only traces of the plains that had been devastated in places due to the fierce battle.
