Chapter 375 – Struggle

Chapter 375

〈 This episode has a change of perspective in the middle.〉

Implosion.
Originally, it was the most powerful offensive magic in a one-on-one confrontation in terms of power alone, as it reliably destroys a single target from the inside of the body.
It activates right from inside the body, so if you’re not prepared, even a spell eater will turn into pieces of meat in an internal explosion!

‘If I’m not ready.’

In fact, Ran is a half-human, half-horse half-blood, but he was sent as an orphan from a young age and received various education at the Temple of the Black Sun, so he is well versed in magic.
Participating in the National Magic Contest further broadened his knowledge.

‘You were in too much of a hurry.
If it’s in front of an opponent who uses dispel, I should have hidden my magical operation or faked it.’

So, I don’t know much about the ultimate 5th level magic, ‘implosion’, but at least there was no problem in catching high-level earth magic through Rousseau’s spells, mana management, and hand signs.

‘Haven’t you swallowed that rare spirit-type magic?
Thanks to that, I also practiced how to devour my inner magic.
I can do it.’

Mental magic is mostly target instantaneous magic except for Kamyu’s ultimate skill, ‘mind control’.
Since he’s a guy I often run into in magic tournament finals, I’ve prepared for internal instantaneous magic quite a bit, and I’ve also experienced it.

Rousseau was in a hurry, so choosing implosion magic was definitely the right choice.
However, the opponent was a spell eater, and it was only Ran who had experience in magic warfare.

‘As I live, there are times when Kamyu comes in handy.
He’s a guy who will thrive if he’s dating properly.’

Boo woo woo-.

Ran’s stomach swells from the explosion, and Ran suppresses her magical powers and ‘devours’ her.
The explosive power that rose up to her throat.
Substituting it with pure magical power, he chewed it like chewing the cud.

Mumble, Mumble, Mumble!
Kwul- Kkeok!!

“?!?!”

‘You ate well.
Power springs up!’

Explosive Earth Magic.
The buff greatly increases reflexes and strength.
Significantly increased unique divine power and miracle operation ability!

Fighting!

With the strength of her thighs, which jumped many times over, Ran was shot out like an arrow.

Flash!

Rousseau dodges by blinking,

Dada dot… !

As if Ran had predicted that, he suddenly stopped and changed direction.
Chase right away!

Russo in a hurry.

“Dragon Scale!”

Magical golden dragon scale armor covers Russo,

Jjoong!

Ran, who has won 12 national magic contests and won many prizes, is familiar with magic.
What Ran chose was a shield push.

Kukkoom!

Deflect it with a shield bash and slam it into the wall of a nearby building.

“Heuk!”

The magic armor blocks all physical attacks.
However, the principle is the same as that of normal armor.
As flexible as chain armor, a blunt attack or a fall could break your neck and kill you.
Shocked by the fall, the old wizard canceled the spell he was preparing.
Even so, this magic armor has high enough physical defense to use the modifier ‘absolute’.

‘Whether it’s a sword, a shield, or a kick, I can block it for a while.’

Russo thought so and prepared a teleportation spell.
But Ran chose a faster and more convenient means.

“A stake of atonement.”

Fuck!

“Keep it off… !”

Offensive Miracle.
Although the power is weak, the activation is very fast.
A black and red stake driven into Rousseau’s chest with no armor on.
The golden dragon scale armor couldn’t stop the miracle that the black sun bestowed on the battle priest.
I didn’t expect that a combat priest with this level of fighting power would handle miracles so skillfully.
It is activated so quickly that it is short to even notice the cast.

‘Wasn’t that Agnes somewhat lacking in miracles?
But why… !’

“The moment…”

“Taebaek.”

Fu-wook!

Indifferent forward kick.
The miracle stake sticking out of the golden dragon scale magic armor, Ran drove it deeper with his foot.

Deuk deuk… !!!

“Keep it off…”

“The crime of hurting the former Demon King.
A sin that brought tears to the lord’s eyes.
And for killing my friend’s family.
Repay with death.”

Less so

An old wizard who lost his wand.
The gray robes were stained with blood.

“Kuh, haha…
The blood value is cool! It’s a spinning crab…
That’s a war…”

“Yes.
But I am selfish.”

The dark red stake driven through his chest drove his body into the wall, and Rousseau was unable to even fall.

“What do you want to say? Is that all?”

“It’s a mixed blood between a demon and a human…
Cool, cool, you must have suffered quite a bit.
Cool, so it must have been entrusted to the temple…
Isn’t that so, Black Sun Battle Priest?”

“…”

“Miss Marianne and Miss Agnes were all like that…
I’ve been entrusted with it since I was young…
They are all pitiful… Cool, Cool!
Do one of my requests.
Even after the war ends, those who remain… At least don’t hate the little ones too much…”

… Dump.

Rousseau bowed his head.
And he didn’t move.

“…”

Ran carried his shield on his back and raised his sword with both hands.
To slit his throat, you’d have to do a full swing with both hands.
You must decapitate this person and offer it to your lord.

“…”

Silence for a while.

Tup.

“Sleep well.”

Ran only took Rousseau’s hat and the beads from his magic wand and put them in his arms.
Rousseau fell asleep for a long time, pinned to the wall.

Aaaaa… !

“No… ?!”

Ran, who fluttered his cloak behind him, was frightened by the rising pillar of light.

Tsutsutsutsutsutsu… Paaang!

Light gushed from Alberic, who was holding the translucent sword.

***

Ran ran to Rousseau, so you don’t have to worry about that.
Isn’t it the final weapon of anti-magic warfare?
I have a hard time with Russo, but Ran is Russo’s hard counter.
Compatibility is good, Compatibility is good.
Not a skill!

The problem was on our side.

“Blessings of Dawn, Guardian of Light, Teachings of Twilight!”

Buff, buff, buff.

Wow-!
Woo support!!

“Ouch… !”

Only Balak can stand against Alberic by force.

Shu Shu Shu Shu Shuuk!!!

The sword attack, which was already fast, is now almost invisible.
Alberic handled the holy sword ‘Angelic Alliance’ so lightly that the sword seemed weightless.

“Black steel.
Slash the shadow of the sun!!”

Jjoong-!

“Kuh… !”

The attack is so heavy for me.
Could this be the effect of the combination artifact?

“Camu dude, don’t panic!
Jumma knife, only the user has no weight! (That guy’s knife, only the user has no weight!)
Nothing else, Ancana!”

Also.

Adolph inserted his longbow and took out his synthetic bow.

Puppy pup!
Tang! Kang! King!

Alberic knocked out all of Adolf’s three-shot.
The shorter the arrow, the lower the air resistance, but you hit that speed with your own eyes?!

“Ah!”

Shook!

I gave a command and threw the amulet at Alberic,

“Huh!”

Whoop!

Adolf gives a command and shoots an arrow.
In fact, it’s hard to break through the invisible barrier surrounding Alberic’s body.
So, Alberic just dodges and moves around.

“Under! Those arrows…”

No. Don’t laugh
It’s not you that Adolf was aiming for, it’s my talisman.

Phew! Roaring!

“Ouch… !”

Also, knowing that it was a flashlight, Alberic merely lowered his head and was engulfed in flames.
I have no choice but to gnaw through the transparent shield like this!

Sasasasasat!!!

Adolf rushes this way wearing a fluid image.
Movement aimed at increasing penetration through close combat or close-up shooting with the trust of iron gloves.

Poof!

He walks past me, holding in his hand the amulet I secretly handed to him behind his back.

Oh oh oh…

“Black Dragon Light Clash…”

“Keugh, damn it… Judgment…”

As the flames engulf Alberic, Balak gathers his spirit and unleashes a special move while Alberic hovers.

“Paaaaa!!!”

“Knife!”

A black Mir-shaped energy spreads out and tries to swallow Alberic, and Alberic leaves the fire alone and strikes back with a wave of white blades.

Aaaaa!!!

Clash of black energy and white energy!

Coo coo coo…

“Big… What is winning… !”

“Adolf!
Go in!
Cover!”

“Damn… !
What should I do?! (If I had to do it, what should I do?!)”

Ugh…

Into the shock wave enough to push the arrow away, Adolf uses fluidization and charges forward.
Because fluidization passes all physical impacts, you can freely access even the deadly crash storm!

Kwah kwah kwah kwah kwah!!
Sasasasak!!

By the time the storm reaches its climax, Adolph has already reached the vicinity of Alberic.
Approach at once and release the fluid, side kick as much as you can!
Surprisingly, Alberic blocks Adolf’s secret technique by pushing back Balak’s Black Dragon Light Champa with the sword of judgment.

“Haap!”

Kangaroo Kickboxing Secret, ‘Plucking Dead Trees’!

“Sun Shield!”

Whoa!
Softly… !!

The golden shield that appeared in the air vibrated loudly and resisted Adolf’s kick.

Kwaaaaang!!!

The black energy of the Black Dragon Light Champa was pushed away by the white energy of the Judge’s Sword, and Adolf’s kick stopped the advance.

“Mind pollution!”

Jiying—.

Use this gap to hypnotize.
Mental magic is definite target instantaneous magic.
It is activated regardless of the crash storm of the special move.

“Big… !
Baby flies!
Plasma…”

“Adolf!
It’s a fan-shaped strike!”

“Slash!”

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah… Kwaaaaang!!

It was different in scale from the plasma slash that the royal knight had just thrown at me.
The fan-shaped column of light rising from the floor is even bigger!

“Kuhhh… !”

Adolf, who was hitting the golden shield, crosses his feet and falls into a side step.
He narrowly avoids the pillars of light rising from the floor.
Damn it, Adolf is in danger!
Reinforcing mental pollution… !

Pajijijijijijijik!!
Parts zuz zuzzz!!!

“Kuh, how dare you… !”

Misjudgement
It is difficult to penetrate the mental barrier reinforced by the Valkyrie Armor, but Mental Pollution was not very effective for users of the Angelic Alliance, a higher-level artifact.

“Fire Arrow!”

Shun Shu-Shuong!

“These flaming arrows are itchy!”

Puffup!

Alberic was about to rush at Adolf, catching the fiery arrows I shot with his body.
But.

Rattle.

“?!”

The magic fire arrow burned the amulet and threw it away.
A talisman that increases magical effects.
The magic I wrote…

“Slowing down.”

Pudeuk.

“Acceleration!”

Alberic casts a buff to neutralize my debuff, but Adolf gets out of Alberic’s gap.
Adolph is said to be 2 meters tall, but it goes without saying that his reach is shorter than that of Alberic with a sword.
Oh, of course that’s the case in close combat.

Wow!

Adolf shot with a composite bow.

Kang!

As if Alberic couldn’t leave it to the invisible barrier this time, he put a knife in front of his face and cut it off.
And the flash amulet tied to the arrow emits a flash of light.

“Keugh… !
You’re just playing tricks!
You bastard bastards!”

Dada dot… !

Alberic quickly closed the distance while draining tears from his eyes.
Adolf falls backwards like water,

“Aaaaa!!”

Siuuung— Kwaaang!

Balak, who jumped in from afar at once and flew in, plunged his ax spear.
Now, Alberic gradually picks up the tempo.

“The Shield of the Sun.”

Jjoong-!

The ax spear is blocked by a miracle,

Shukak!

“Keuuugh!”

Alberic himself counterattacks by wielding the Angelic Alliance.
Balak did not back down even as his chest sprayed blood.

“Balak!”

Chuck!

Extend the blade and stab.

Caang! Kang! Kang!

Even if he tried to pierce Alberic’s back, he couldn’t.

“Damn it!
Acceleration!
Cat’s step!
Self-hypnosis, muscle strengthening!”

Buff, buff, buff.

Dada Dada Dada Dada!!

Run, run
Long-range attacks don’t mean much.
To pierce the transparent shield, no, to gnaw it, it’s only a melee hit.

“Competition suit.
Strengthen attack.
Seokgap.
Dawn’s Sword.
Protection.
Self-defense.”

Buff, buff, buff, buff, buff…
For Alberic, who uses magic, miracles, and qigong, there are many different types of buffs that can be applied.

Squeak, Squeak! Jjoong! Twist! Kwajik!

“Keuuugh!”

Balak That guy, he’s been beaten until his full body armor is in tatters.
Hold on though

“Balaaaaa!!”

Wow! Siwoong! Oops!

Adolf, who is in a hurry, speaks, but

“The Shield of the Sun.”

Zeng! Tuck! Kang!

Alberic performs miracles, and the attack that penetrates believes the transparent shield and just hacks Balak.
Chicken game.
Rather than being beaten 3 to 1, the will to take out one person without fail.

“Lightning bolt!”

Plus the magic of mixing in the middle.

Don’t fall out!!

“Kuuuuu… !!”

Balak persevered despite being struck by lightning.
He takes a glass bottle out of his pocket and drinks it.

Jump.

A liquid in a glass bottle.
I hope that…

“Aaaaa !!
Aaaaa!!!”

Huung— Booung— Tuquaaang!!

It is lightening
My eyes are bloodshot and red, and the veins on my face stand on edge.

Ridge. Ridge. Ridge. Ridge.

The sound of the heartbeat of the mixed-race giant resounds as the drums of the battlefield!

“Giant berserk warriors are unique!!”

Alberic turns his sword into dozens and attacks them relentlessly.

Huung— Huung— Quaggagak!

Balak also just believes in the armor and hits together.
Melee fight.

“Keuaaaaa!!”

“Uhhhhh!!!”

Jjwoong- Zeng-! Bang! Awesome! Kwaaang-!

There is no retreat for the highland berserkers.
They fight for better terms of contract for descendants and transport of loot.
If they don’t earn, families back home starve to death.
It is thanks to those who left their hometown that they survive in a place where farming, livestock, and commerce are poor.
Mercenaries, professional soldiers, conscripts, or raiders.
They live on the wages, loot, and daily necessities they send.
For them, retreat is a high treason that destroys the reputation of the tribe and makes everyone starve.
Even if it feels like the heels of your feet will be crushed by being pushed.
Even if the armor is all dented and bare skin is exposed.
Even if it bleeds.
There is no retreat.

Poo-! Kwajak! Awesome!
Shoot… !!!

Balak spurted blood all over the place after repeated hits.
Still, still not backing down
Because that’s a zealot.

“Balak!
Hang in there!”

Dig!

My heart is in a hurry.
Enough to run ahead.

Tadadat!!
Whoop! Zeng!

The sound of running subtly buoyant from the floor.
Adolf seemed to be in a bit of a hurry as well, so he shot his bow as he approached.
Momentum to rush in for cover after a close shot.

“The Sealing Sword of Light!”

Shit!

“Damage!”

“What?!”

Wow! Squeak!

Adolf was the first to encounter this miracle.
So, he realized rather late that the sword of light created above his head was trapping him.

Parching—!

The sword of light that came down from the blind spot and imprisoned Adolf.

“Fuck you!
What is winning?!”

Seal of Light.
Bondage within range.
Alberic, you clever bastard… !
He pushed Balak, the tank, to make us impatient and lured us out.
2v1 in an instant.

… Flash forward one more time?
No.
That’s what he wants.
Stay calm…

“Haap!”

Death Blow, Eclipse!
Cheongeunchu + Diamond Art + Full Swing Dashing Slash!

“Blink.”

Dig!

“!”

Alberic disappeared while continuing the offensive.
Where it appeared… Behind me!

Oh oh oh… !

“Kamyu, bow down!”

“The judgment…”

Drool!

There is no time to look back, so he rolls with a fall.
For a moment.
Shall we aim for Balak with me now?
The seasoned me who has been able to blink and has gone through several battles with Alberic?
Balak, a berserker who has endured with perseverance until now, and even counterattacked a special move with the Black Dragon Light Champa?
No.
What he’s after…

“Adolf ugh!!”

It’s Adolf, the archer who is definitely trapped in the light-sealing sword!

“… Knife!”

Tuquaaaaa… !!

Waves of white blades mercilessly attack Adolf,

“Adolf ugh!!!”

Tadada dat!!
Bang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa… Aaaaang!!

“Aww… !”

Dump.

“Balaaaaagh!!!”

Balak stood in front of Adolf holding an axe.
The 3-meter tall figure was kneeling on one knee, barely grasping the fragmented ax spear.

Clink-!

The helmet was crushed and fell, and the armor was dented here and there, blood oozing out.

“Cool, cool… !!”

“Damn!”

Dig!

It runs until it flashes in front.

Spaw!
Kagak… !

Balak blocked the attack with the blade of the broken ax spear, but bounced to the side.

Kudangtangtang!!

Alberic doesn’t care about the fallen man, and starts aiming for Adolf.
Balak is already incapacitated.
I’m going to clean up Adolf before I run!

Huung— Hung— Sugak, squak… !

Trapped in the sealing sword of light, Sway, Weaving, Ducking…
Adolf avoids the knife only by moving his upper body.
It was a great evasion technique in a very small space, but the limits were clear.

Pug… !

“Big… !!”

“Guts… It’s quite… !!”

Adolf was stabbed in the shoulder after dodging here and there.
A position that narrowly escaped the heart.

Fast… !

However, the knife embedded in the body goes deeper and deeper.
Adolf grips the blade tightly with his bare hand.
No more going in or pulling out.

“What are you doing, Bingshi!! (What are you doing, you asshole!!)”

“!”

Know.
What I have to do
Now it’s almost one-on-one.
A knife that Adolf risked his life to seize, an opportunity that he barely seized.

Flash!

Blink, Death Blow!

“Sun Shield!”

Aww—!
Deed deed deed… Kwachaang!!

Break the golden shield,

Blah-clap… !!!!

Cut Alberic’s back.

Pshuuuuu… !

“Keuaaaaagh!!!”

I finally broke through the invisible barrier and cut Alberic’s back!

Puchwwook… !

“Turn it off… !!”

Alberic viciously pulls the knife from Adolf’s body and strikes me in the neck.
I can’t miss this opportunity, this opportunity my friends risked their lives to create… !

Huung—.

Alberic’s sword is ruthlessly wielded,

Kwajik!

“Crazy… !”

Blocks the flying blade by biting it.

Quadd deed… !

It doesn’t matter if your teeth are broken or your mouth is torn.
The taste of blood and iron all around.
Yes, this is the taste of fighting.
This is the taste of war.
We are all crazy
So let’s go crazy too!
Die and kill, live and live!
I win!

Promised to return alive.
To you
To Marie.
To Angie.
To Stella who came to rescue me.
To Rumika, who believes in me and waits for me at the Devil Castle.
To my subordinates and colleagues who risked their lives for me.
For the friends who fought back to back until blood flowed… !!

Hard deed deed… !

With the blade biting on her, her mouth was torn and she approached.
Several teeth are broken, rolling around in the mouth.
Does not matter.
Rush.
Forward, forward!

“You bastard like the Joker… !”

Tup! Courage!

Walking on a field bridge.
Take down.
Shorten the blade.
Wrestling & Sword Fighting.

“Keugh… !
This fucking bastard!!
Slit your mouth!!”

Alberic pushes the knife with all his strength.
The knife gradually penetrates the teeth and begins to tear the mouth.

Fast deuk… !!

“Euuuuu!!! (You too die!)”

Still, with the blade bitten, he climbed on top of Alberic’s body.

Quaggagak! Kwakang!

He frantically stabs Alberic’s neck with Master’s dagger.
Transparent shield, that’s been restored… !
You have to drill it first… !
I have too many broken teeth.
I can’t stand it for long!

“Zenzian—!
This dog Lai Cub!
Joker baby!
Yes, you are a loser!!!
Fuck you, bitch… !”

“Eup Eup Eup!!! (Die!!!)”

It was then.

Flash—!

The sharpened blade shines.

Geeing—!

Light of the Angelic Alliance.
What?
Judging by Alberic’s expression, it seems that he doesn’t even know what kind of effect it is.
And it was immediately clear what the effect of this combination artifact was.

Tspaaah!

Pillars of light rise,

Tsutsutsutsutsutsu… Clink… !

“Uh, oh my?!”

“Aww?!”

The screams of Nene and Stella.
To the welcome labyrinth that blocked the enemy forces that had been flooding in until now.
That Nene’s illusion… Broken!
