Chapter 896 – #195_Proposal(3)

#890

One.
Lightning strikes across the sky and torrential rain pours down like a fountain.
The counterattack began in the twisting and bouncing storm.

The forces on the corps side consisted of dozens of names centered on stags and hundreds of large and small homunculus.

The strength of the Witch’s side consisted of the majority of the outcasts who had gathered at the Seoul branch, the detached army that had been united around Duke Tiphareth, and the majority of the Gehenna side’s reinforcements.

A three-digit homunculus and a thousand witches clashed.

The aftermath of magic and the death of the laws of physics bursting out in all directions.
The screams of the homunculus and the chant heard from everywhere fill the battlefield.
The dancing reflections were so splendid that they lit up the dark sea like daylight.

“This makes no sense.”

As planned, Siu, who was on the front line to subdue the homunculus, walked around the battlefield and looked at the situation with a sidelong glance.

I expected.
The strength of the witches gathered over the East Sea is certainly not normal.

In fact, it is rare even if you look back in history to see witches of this size gathering together to fight.

And the moment the two groups entered a large-scale rotation, they intuitively understood it.
Why is Hexennacht reluctant to engage in full-scale war with Gehenna at this point, without Duke Keter?

-Bang! Kwakwawang!

“Next is that.”
“I checked.”

The four witches, who had not paid attention at all, formed a formation on the spot and beat a named homunculus like a dog.

“I finished the installation of the Beopjin. I’ll ask you to entice me.”
“I’ll go for two or three. Can you do well?”
“Sure.”

A group of witches who seem to be from secretarial high school lead the homunculus with traps like a hunter on a sheep hunt.

In addition, thanks to the witches active in various places on the battlefield, the flow of the battle was already at an embarrassing level to say that it was a war.

One-sided subjugation and one-sided massacre.

While about 10% of the homunculus was erased in an instant, not a single witch was fatally injured.
An event that seemed so risky is easily solved like a campaign with cheats.

Of course it is.

Although huddled in a small town, not paying attention to the affairs of the outside world.
Witches are transcendental people who have devoted not only their entire lives but also entire generations to magic.

The potential of a city where the owner of a clothing store and the owner of a public bathhouse are in the 22nd rank, and the perfumer in a perfume shop and the librarian in the library are in the 23rd rank.

Since he brought nearly 600 residents from such a city, conquering the world would be a very simple task if there were no witches.

On the other hand, there are also witches gathered in the sky a little far from the front line.

After catching a few homunculus, they are taking a break and watching her rare sight.

It is not a common spectacle to see the archwitch and the witch at the top of the archwitch exert her full power.

Among them, there were a few who performed exceptionally well…

“That’s the witch of the deep sea.”
“Aren’t you tired? Do you keep using great magic like that?”
“It’s on the sea.”

The most eye-catching is, of course, the witch of the deep sea.

Before long, she had no time to catch her breath and hit the waves, turning the homunculus into pieces like a wrecked ship.

In addition, the sight of a huge familiar moving between waves and swallowing the homunculus like it was at home made me feel awe.

“Even Baron Marigold is no slouch.”
“I am a baron. They fight beautifully.”

Next is Gehenna’s best perfumer, who was recently stripped of his title due to an accident.

Because of her strong reinforcements, she didn’t have to leave her power behind, so she opened her power to her heart’s content and showed what wide-area magic was.

How many of them had been killed? About a third of this vast sea was covered with profuse petals.

“Chief Metis is here too.”
“That man… Were you a person who appeared in this world?”

The chief librarian, Metis Gremory, who seldom steps outside the secretariat, let alone in the present world, was also showing great success.

She transforms the magic tome that she always carries around her side into a giant bow, and shoots a ball of arrows with the Forbidden Book.
When the bowstring was drawn once, one or more homunculi were pierced and sank into the sea.

Like this, the magic show of the 23rd rank was definitely a sight to behold.

“Where is Shin Si-woo?”
“Hey, black armor.”
“Ohh, it uses real magic.”

In fact, among the witches gathered here, Shin Si-woo was the most curious.

A man creates a stigma and casts a spell.
Well, let’s say that.

However, in just a few years, she possessed combat power comparable to that of the Archwitch.
This is not an ordinary thing.

“What kind of magic is it?”
“It seems like a mix of things. Since Duke Tiphareth was said to be his teacher, it must be close-combat type?”
“Well, the formal dress is also a spear.”

A name appeared in front of Shin Si-woo, who was running through the sea like a plain while wearing a sleek plate armor covering his entire body and holding a long red long spear.

He was well over 3m tall, and his whole body was menacingly muscular, with nails sharper than blades.
It looks like a werewolf from a folk tale.

“What is that homunculus? Werewolf?”
“Wait a minute, I brought a picture book… Here it is.”
“Read me.”

All the onlookers are excited about the match between the knight and the monster.

“Werewolf, I do not use magic that would be unusual. However, its innate regenerative power rivals magic in itself. The muscular strength and agility that can be exercised without limit to regenerate at high speed even if it is stabbed beyond the limit of musculoskeletal is also threatening.”

The first to move was the Werewolf.

With a popping sound, Werewolf’s torso, which had narrowed the gap to several times the speed of sound, rushed at Shin Si-woo.
As recorded in the encyclopedia, it was a speed that chilled the hearts of the onlookers.

However, Shin Si-woo was not intimidated in the slightest and grabbed his spear and responded.

Speed ​​that is hard to notice a big difference from Werewolf.
The ominous glowing red branches embroider the bright red remnants over the darkness.

“What happened? I didn’t see it because I was reading that book.”
“Shin Si-woo pierced the heart and spilled it to the side. It looks like a fatal wound.”

Unlike Shin Si-woo, who showed off a great turn as he said and fixed the whirligig spear, Werewolf was thrown out several times while doing water throws.

“Is it over already?”
“No. If you look here, it is written that the regenerative power is amazing. Even a single piece of flesh will regenerate.”
“Ugh, disgusting.”

But the werewolf didn’t wake up.
After struggling with his limbs a few times, he disappeared, crumbled to ashes.

“… Are you playing?”
“Well, okay? Is the book wrong?”

Even so, it doesn’t make sense to say it’s just one cut.
If the name was enough to be included in the encyclopedia, it would literally be a homunculus that lost its name.

Originally, human beings tend to take the possibility within the imaginable range for an incomprehensible situation.
It was the same with witches.

Confused onlookers found their own answers.

“That’s the Shin Siu window. A red branch used by the Red Knight. Since they said they had a hard time capturing Duke Tiphareth, it must be a formidable weapon?”
“Aha, that’s tempting.”
“I guess so.”

The witches nodded their heads at a pleasant answer.

Second match.
The opponent Shin Si-woo encountered was a huge, smooth giant that seemed to be made of chrome alloy.

Super-large size that allows you to ‘walk’ across the sea.
If you look at the sea water flowing from your waist, you can roughly guess its size.

“What is that again?”
“Alloy Giant. A homunculus boasting the durability of Gulgang along with the ironclad dragon. It has strong resistance to alchemy magic and wields weapons created by disassembling its own body. This looks a bit strong.”

The alloy giant, who weaved and lifted a huge sword and shield, exuded a formidable force.
In front of him, Shin Si-woo looks reckless like a knight charging toward a windmill.

“Maybe I should help with that… ?”

The giant raises his sword and lowers it.

-Kuuuuu!

It looks sluggish due to the huge torso that ruins perspective, but for Shin Si-woo, who is watching the blow right in front of his nose, it’s like the sky is collapsing.

-With a splash!!!!

In fact, the moment the sword cuts through the sea, the surface of the water parted like the Red Sea.

“Yaya! It happened!”
“Did you get hit? Did you get hurt?”

The last scene we were able to confirm was Shin Si-woo getting caught up in the ruthless sword attack, so low screams could be heard from all around the onlookers.

If the only male witch in the world died like this, nothing would be as futile as that.

“Lord, are you dead?”
“No! There he is!”

However, as if laughing at such concerns.
Black armor that runs like a black wind through the splashing waves.

The body of Shin Si-woo, who rushed as if wrapped in the arms of a giant, soars into the air in an instant.

-Kiiiiing!!!

A jolt of magical energy that makes the air tremble.
The ring-shaped ring that floated above his head spun repeatedly and emitted a roaring sound.

“Three thousand evils!”

The technical names that are shouted out loud like in a boy’s cartoon are old-fashioned and even slightly cheesy.
It’s easy to understand if you think of Mayweather saying “Shoulder roll!” Every time he does a shoulder roll.

However, the scene that followed did not allow the slightest laugh.
It provided only consternation.

The giant’s body shatters as if a mountain collapses in the three lines of red that Piturum crosses the sky.
The hard torso and huge shield, which seemed unable to be scratched with any amount of magic, crumbled like cookies.

It was a hit this time too.
With just one blow, he subdued a homunculus as huge as a mountain.

“…”
“…”

The onlookers who were making a fuss all shut up.

No matter how powerful a card is, it is entirely up to the user to fully utilize it.
None of the witches gathered here had the confidence to perform the same inaction as Shin Si-woo.

Shin Si-woo slowly landed on the sea, releasing the armor on his upper body that had been smashed, perhaps because he had received the recoil of the great magic.

Shaking his head lightly to shake off sweat and rainwater, he doesn’t look tired, nor does he seem burdened by unreasonable magic events.
His hair was swept back and he looked for his next prey, just like a mythical hero.

“Hey… His clavicle abs are crazy. Siwoo oppa, I’m wet… !”
“…”

Half of the homunculus corps were subjugated 1 hour and 32 minutes after the clash.

The stag who led the legion never stood on the front line.
He just led the completely disorganized defeated soldiers and quietly disappeared beyond the subspace.
