Chapter 2197 – 2197. Dark Moon

Ancient ruins are no different from dungeons. In other words, it means that the elements of the dungeon are in the ancient ruins.

In the game, a dungeon refers to a monster’s lair. There are general monsters, and there are boss monsters that are the leaders of those monsters.

Even though the monster in front of me was different from what I knew, it was definitely Baliac, the boss monster of Three Bits Floating Island. Because it makes no sense for a devil with this much power to suddenly appear on Sebit Floating Island. I can only understand that it already existed.

‘In the original game, the artificial demon Baliac is a monster that you do not need to encounter. Because the end of Sebit Floating Island ends with self-destruction. You don’t have to deal with it.’

I didn’t get any of the drop items obtained from killing the boss, but considering Baliac’s difficulty and setting, I passed. I didn’t even look in that direction on purpose.

‘What kind of idiot broke Baliak’s seal? Even though corporate bastards are greedy, they wouldn’t do something stupid like that, right?’

If it were a company, it would secure it without breaking the seal. Research? This will be done in a safe place. The seal was released due to an indiscriminate attack by a company? That also makes no sense. Because the superhuman research lab where he was sealed is in a much safer place than other places.

‘Even in Great Korea, studying demons and angels is illegal. There is a super-organism laboratory in a safe and discreet place.’

A variable happened there that I didn’t know about.

‘If you think about Baliac’s settings and abilities. It possessed someone’s body and ate at least a few humans on its way here. Also, he knows that he is destined to eventually sink with the Sebit Floating Island, so he runs wild for the final entertainment.’

I glare at Baliak hanging from the ceiling. It was still eating humans. That thing is probably stronger than the artificial demon in the original.

“Damn…”

The warlock muttered in a voice filled with despair. Both of his hands were trembling slightly.

Pajijik.

I extended my senses and checked the status of the Invisible Blade. I’m breathing. However, he has lost his mind. I didn’t know when it would happen. Even if he wakes up, I’m not sure if he’ll be able to fight right away. I guess I should see it as a retirement.

‘The best thing is to escape from Sebit Island to avoid that guy. I think it would be possible if Orcia helps… Even if you can’t do it, the Invisible Blade must be saved.’

Invisible Blade was my girl. I don’t know anything else, but I had no choice but to abandon my woman and run away.

“Hey. Since you’re a warlock, you probably know a lot about demons. It’s impossible to run away from that monster right now. Deal with that guy. Cooperate.”

“… The idea that warlocks are experts on demons is nonsense. Of course, I also studied the power of the devil to some extent. That thing is a monster, just like you said. 72 Even though it is not a devil, it is a devil that is on the special side. The strength must be at least level 8 or higher. How are you going to deal with a guy like that?”

“Then why don’t you die here?”

“The devil’s eyes are fixed on you. “It seems like the target is you?”

“Well. I don’t think that devil will let go of the delicious warlock.”

“Damn.”

If you have studied demons to any degree, you know better than anyone that you are not safe. The devil just spares the lives of humans he doesn’t care about? This is a ridiculous story. Is the devil a devil for nothing?

The devil who ate all the humans comes down. I took the Invisible Blade and distanced myself from the devil. The warlock also widens the distance and prepares a curse with black mana.

“I’ll tell you in advance. “Black magic does not exert its proper power against demons.”

“Dark mana itself is a power that imitates the power of the devil?”

“… Okay. The power that can be said to be the opposite of the devil is holy magic used with holy mana. I’m asking just in case. Can you use divine magic?”

“There is no omnipotent God. Even if it were, it would be an asshole.”

“You’re screwed.”

Beliac bends his knees and jumps.

[Barrier]

A transparent membrane appeared in the air, blocking Beliac’s path. However, when Beliak swung his fist, it was smashed before it could last even 3 seconds.

‘It’s so easy to create a level 5 barrier… No, should I say I lasted 3 seconds?’

The warlock threw a curse. Beliac did not escape, but was cursed.

Boom!

The sound of a bomb exploding came from inside Beliac. However, Beliac got up just fine.

“What curse is it?”

I asked the warlock.

“It is the curse of radiation exposure. If it were a normal human being, his whole body would have exploded… “Maybe it’s because he’s a devil, but his internal organs don’t seem to be damaged.”

“Was it necessary to use such a curse?”

“I needed to find out how much curse resistance that guy had.”

“So what did you find out?”

“You can’t kill him with a curse. At best, all we can do is tie his feet. Rather, are you not fighting? “Can you at least strike me with lightning?”

“I already tried to do that.”

Could it be that I just watched quietly until now? Of course, the chant was prepared.

[Thunderbolt]

The broken ceiling and the sky visible through the gap glowed, and lightning illuminated the entire area. A single bolt of lightning, compressed from thousands of bolts, struck Beliac, drawing a fiery heat in the air.

The devil was hit by a lightning bolt and his body trembled. Black smoke rises from its body. However, it did not fall.
His arm moves normally.

“Ha, Hannam… !”

Beliac speaks slurredly and lunges at me.

[Phase Shift]

Changes the current overburdened Astral and Mana Road to Phase Astral and Mana Road.

[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 11]

While trying to use Thunderbolt’s technique in a slow world, he stops. This is because Beliac moved quickly even in a slow world.

‘You can’t keep time with thunderbolts.’

What is needed is not an attack, but a check.

[Air Boom]

Kwahahah Ahh!

There was an explosion of air between me and Beliac. Beliac and my body are pushed back. He used his telekinesis to take care of the Invisible Blade and himself.

“Hannam!!!”

Beliac, thrown out, cries out. The guy who rolled on the floor a few times got up again and rushed at me recklessly.

‘Is there almost no reason? That’s a good thing. If only that damned body had a cool-headed mind… Just imagining it is terrifying.’

It’s worth doing.

That’s how I decided. And it was a misjudgment.

The subsequent battle was one-sided.

Its intelligence is like that of a beast. That judgment was wrong from the start. The guy was below an animal. At least animals feel emotions. He also knows that his body is the most precious thing. He is a beast who threatens and when he doesn’t think it will work, he throws it out. But what about Beliac? There was no back. He doesn’t back down. Moving forward simply for greed.

We poured out as much magic as we could. I used magic to hit a target that couldn’t be avoided. Nevertheless, it could not cause significant damage. Even if you hit the Thunderbolt 5 times, you can’t stop its limbs. Other magic? Thunderbolt doesn’t work. Will it work?

Among the magics I can use, Thunder Break is the best in terms of pure power? If you can use it, you can use it.

‘There is no time to use it. There is no lineman to buy time. At least the warlock buys time with a curse… All you have to do is use Thunderbolt. Even the opportunity is short, so we have to keep it in check with other magic.’

“Beep. “There are 50 minutes left until self-destruction.”

Sebit Floating Island artificial intelligence speaks. Okay. Only 10 minutes have passed since the self-destruct system was activated.

If things continue like this, the only thing that comes to mind is the future.

We need to lay the groundwork.

The warlock seemed to have reached the same conclusion as me and spoke with a cracked voice.

“30 seconds. I’m going to tie him up for 30 seconds. “You can prepare a powerful blow to finish him off in the meantime, right?”

“Just do it. If we don’t, we’ll both die.”

“Damn it. Why am I going through all this trouble… !”

The warlock’s body floats upward. Black mana overflowed from his mouth and nose.

Beliac, who had been pinned against the wall by wind magic, raises his body and tilts his head. For the first time, his eyes were not on me but on the warlock.

“Hell, I offer you my left middle finger, ring finger, and small finger. Touch my enemy with your hand!”

Pop!

Three of the warlock’s left fingers broke at once, rotted in an instant, and then disappeared. That’s probably impossible to treat.

‘It’s a kind of human sacrifice. ‘Is it black magic’s arcane magic?’

The level 6 warlock offered his finger. A sacrifice more valuable than sacrificing hundreds of human beings.

Tsuzu, that is.

The space around the warlock distorted, and hundreds of hands came out like tentacles. No, they are thick curses in the shape of a hand.

The hand of hell stretched out and grabbed Beliac.

“Hannam! Hannam… ! I will become a Hannam!”

Beliac struggles. I wish I could die like that, buried under the curse… That too is just a moment. As time passes, it will move again.

“Now is the time!”

The warlock urges me.

I took out the [Plasma battery] From my pocket and threw it into the air. The iron ball glowed as a blob of blue light and floated in the air. A total of 7 plasma batteries resonate with each other in the air and exchange current.

I gather all my prepared power and draw a magic circle on the ceiling. [Plasma Battery] Moves to the main location of the magic circle.

“… Sebit Floating Island AI. Can I use the power of Sebit Floating Island?”

“Beep. Those with a special resident card can request it from the manager. Currently, the manager of Sebit Floating Island is absent. “Due to special circumstances, Eugene’s request was approved.”

“Gather all the power of Sebit Floating Island.”

“Beep. “Only power other than the minimum power required to maintain Sebit Floating Island can be used.”

“Bring all the power you can bring.”

Pajijik.

Power comes from all directions. Artificial intelligence seems to be aware of this, as the gathered power gathers into a magic circle on the ceiling.

I rotated the magic circle and the electric current at the same time. The current begins to amplify in the manner of a lightning strike.

“Hey, are you done yet?”

“Not even 15 seconds have passed.”

“The situation is not good. This guy is already trying to move!”

“You are the one who said I would last 30 seconds. If you hold out longer than that, you will be able to attack him more reliably.”

“Shit. “I offer up my left index finger and thumb, hell!”

The curse that holds Beliac growing stronger.

I focused my mind on the magic circle. I’ve already exceeded the amount of energy I can handle.

There are no brakes. All I can do is step on the accelerator and adjust the direction. If you let your guard down even a little, a catastrophe will occur.

“Not yet?!”

“… 5 seconds have passed.”
