Chapter 213 – Death Comes Down From the Sky (03)

96 hours until the end of the world. Just under 4 days left.

Melissa’s trait was [Golem Maker], And she also had a golden trait.

In this simple game, you end up making an amazing invention or creating a masterpiece, but this happens because she loses her memory or dies, leaving only a vague crush on her.

However, I intervened to prevent her from losing her memories of her choice and losing her life. As the knowledge and characteristics she had accumulated so far were combined, Melissa’s invention skills developed to a level beyond imagination.

In such a situation, she received the help of Golem No. 2, who had the same [Golem Maker] Characteristic as her, and she began to provide rare items and materials in any way possible from the Cylian and water lord Alphyrio caravans.

In addition, I was able to use alchemy to supply ingredients that were difficult to obtain, and the result was like this.

“I never thought I would make it for real…”

First, they use the Golem Queen to manufacture simple labor-type golems that limit her abilities and remove her combat abilities.

Although they just looked like plain mannequins, their hand movements were comparable to those of a decent craftsman, their output was comparable to that of a decent golem, and their concentration was only the burden of the golem queen, so they were artisans who could move without resting indefinitely.

In addition, the Golem Queen creates the blueprint that Melissa and Golem No. 2 created when they put their heads together, so if the three of them are equipped with the materials, they can be said to be a production team that can literally create anything in the world.

‘Maybe it’s a systemic limitation, but I can’t make weapons or healing potions.’

Instead, other equipment and tools could be made at will.

As a result, this is what has been created.

Mass Driver.

To put it simply, it was an auxiliary device that could launch objects into space.

The basic structure itself is not much different from the rail gun installed on Golem No. 2, but the rail gun was not actually made larger.

If you make it into a rail gun, if you send an object flying, it will burn and evaporate in the air, and if you fly a person, it will be burned by the frictional heat of the atmosphere.

So, instead of lowering the output and focusing only on the perpetual engine drive, it was created as a device that provided auxiliary thrust so that the [Star Wizards] Could ascend.

‘How much did it cost to make this… Was it 688.12 million points?’

I could tell because Hollyo grumbled all the time.

It is an equipment that could never be made without the national budget and the full support of Alphyrio’s caravan, which has more money than the country, but the problem was that it was a half-built product that could not be used without the [Star Wizard] Ability.

With that money, you can at least train and equip thousands of soldiers. Is it right to throw them all out here?

In fact, if there wasn’t such a huge problem as the destruction of the world, I would have suggested strengthening the equipment of the royalist troops, but as of now, there was no solution.

‘If I can make this and destroy the enclave connection, it will be a profitable business.’

The reason I needed this was, of course, because of me.

Other [Star Wizards] Can carry a certain amount of weight up the terrain or if two people work together, but the problem is that they use up all their mana just to climb up.

Rather, when falling, you only need to use a little strength, but when rising, you consume a huge amount of mana, making it difficult to return, so the method Sir Alex original thought of was as follows.

1. Consume all of Alice’s mana to raise Sir Alex into orbit.

2. The facilities of the observatory used by Sir Alex in orbit are dropped

3. Finally, hit the mana on top and destroy the duke’s castle.

But now, since I was going to go up and descend instead, Sir Alex had to assist me until the end, and above all, how can two mana be enough for two people to go up…

‘Because my weight is heavy…’

If he had a boy’s body like before, the two of them could somehow work together to take him, but not in a state where he is as strong as he is now.

My current weight is a little less than the combined weight of Alex’s father and Alice.

Moreover, considering the equipment I was wearing now, even with the combined weight of the two people and the equipment, I was heavier and there was no way to carry it up.

When ascending into space, you need mana corresponding to the mass, but the problem is that even though I wanted to help, when I tested it in a different way, I couldn’t use [Shadow Mask] During the ascent because the coordinate calculations didn’t match.

Originally, when using [Shadow Ninbeop], You had to calculate it in your head based on the currently fixed coordinates, but there was no way to keep the [Shadow Mask] On your face while quickly rising into the air.

Thanks to that, I couldn’t send myself up with just the power of two people, so I needed an auxiliary tool, and the result was the mass driver I created.

“…Now is the time.”

Alex’s father confirmed the exact trajectory and tied my body to the mass driver.

Currently, I was loaded onto the mass driver wearing a thick spacesuit.

‘The clothes Alice and Alex’s father wear don’t fit their bodies.’

At first, I tried to wear Alex’s father’s spare clothes because they were stretchy, but they were fixed without the mana that [Star Wizard] Spewed out, so if I didn’t activate [Shadow Mask] And [Star Wizard] At the same time, the elasticity would be lost. I couldn’t maintain it.

If I lost my mind in that situation, my body would tighten and suffocate, so I had no choice but to ask Melissa to make the material for the spacesuit I remembered.

Anyway, I just need to lie still from now until the satellite goes into orbit, so I asked them to make it as safe as possible without worrying about movement…

‘But it’s too formal’

It’s comfortable inside, thanks to Melissa’s great care, but it’s frustrating.

Moreover, I tried to say hello and say I’d be back for a while, but wearing this made it difficult to stand in the gravity field, so all I could do was lie down and respond when the heroines came up and said hello through the special glass window that showed my face.

And finally, after saying goodbye to the heroines, including Melissa, wings of light began to appear outside.

It seemed like the [Perpetual engine drive] Was activated to operate the mass driver, but after a while, the projectile I was tied to rapidly accelerated and launched my body through the mass driver.

Knock… Knock!

I quickly hear the sound of sparks popping from my backrest, and the blood in my feet rushes to my head, turning the area in front of my eyes bright red.

It was a structure that put pressure on the body by paying attention to blood pressure, but it was unable to momentarily withstand accelerations that exceeded that pressure.

“Wow…!”

It was an acceleration that would not have been surprising for a normal human being to die from internal bleeding, but thanks to his already superhuman abilities, his blood pressure began to return to normal after a while, and thanks to the mass driver, which was launched horizontally and gradually increased its angle, the back The pedestal splits apart with more sparks flying.

‘Now is the time…!’

And the stars fall from the sky.

Alice and Alex’s father’s [Star Magic], Which had been prepared in advance, falls on the tip of the mass driver, giving me the momentum to blow my body out of the atmosphere the moment I separate from the mass driver.

I will not die even if I take a direct hit from the [Star Magic] Of my allies Alice and Alex’s father.

The damage itself is judged as 0.

However, like when I first tasted [Star Magic], I was not immune to the shock wave itself, so my body was flying apart from the blow…

‘It’s even worse than before…!’

In a state where I couldn’t even use the [Shadow Granting Art], I had to endure the pressure that felt like my tongue would be pulled out and my eyeballs would pop out.

‘Maybe I should have gone up to orbit in a huge balloon as Melissa suggested…!’

However, after seeing our actions, the demons could have sent in some flying demons, and they thought that shooting arrows or magic from afar would cause them to fall, so they changed to firing at high speeds like this for safety…

‘I’m going to die from this!’

Even though I knew I would get used to it quickly, the process couldn’t help but feel like an eon.

Unlike a typical rocket launch, I was being launched at an oblique angle and the sky gradually turned blue and then started to darken.

As the stars get closer, the stars engraved in my body react, and I start to feel mana flowing throughout my body even without my [Shadow Mask] On.

The acceleration force that was weighing down my body decreased and my body became comfortable as if it was floating, reaching a point of gravitational balance where it neither fell nor rose further in the air.

‘Then should I wait now?’

I had to wait until the other [Star Wizards] Returned to their original orbit and came looking for me.

Since I couldn’t move in this state, I was stuck in a huge spacesuit, just staring into space.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t boring.

Numerous constellations were connected and infusing me with mana, and I wore a [Shadow Mask] In a fixed position to protect my eyesight and looked at the scenery of the universe.

‘Mysterious’

There were many more stars spread out before my eyes than the ones I saw from the ground like Alice.

Surprisingly, the world I left behind had ocean and land in some parts, but the rest was a black space as if it had not been created yet.

The island where the Valkyries and Cylians went missing can be seen lying in the black space, as if a small mountain range had fallen away.

And in the northern part of the dukedom’s domain, there was a cut surface as if a cake had been cut with a knife, and a black space spread out above it as well.

‘The embodied world. And… The unrealized world’

Because it is a world in a game, there were places that were implemented and places that were not implemented.

It wasn’t an awkward scene for me, who had been playing a game called Celestial Academy up to this point.

Ding.

“…Ah…”

Even though it was a black space, it was not a place where there was nothing.

As if a new map was opening, or loading a new map, the ground was filling up in the black space beyond what I was looking at, forests and trees were filling up above it, and somewhere a desert and a plain of ice and snow were spreading.

Did I see as much as I knew, or did a new terrain and world open up as I recognized that place?

‘This world is so wide’

It was a huge shock to me, who thought I knew everything.

I want to explore. What is there?

Isn’t there a world of martial arts, such as the old man who talked to me in the imaginary world of a companion practitioner, the Five Elements of No-Hearts, and the setting of the Jeolmaek?

And also… Countless unexperienced futures were unfolding beyond.

“Are you saying I should enjoy it until I get old and die…?”

My heart swells.

It doesn’t end with defeating the duke, but a new future.

I couldn’t stop my heart from pounding when I remembered that it wasn’t just about changing the original history, but a completely different world.
