Chapter 73 – 73. Active

The monster’s arm extends toward John. Excessive speed not commensurate with its size. In response to that shrewd speed, all I could do was cover the vitals.

Johann backed away, covering his face with his arms and his stomach with his legs, preparing for the impending shock. Blocking vital points was to prevent instant death, not to prevent damage.

However, no matter how much he waited, the shock did not come, so John quickly opened his eyes and looked in front of him. A messed-up knight stood in his way.

“John! It’s okay!?”

Beatrice, who had blown away her doll, calls out to John. Realizing only then that Beatrice had saved his life, John nodded and quickly left the spot.

Almost immediately as he ran, the monster’s enraged slash ripped through the ground.

─Jugeooooo!!

It was a scream that didn’t sound like Izzy at all, but Yohan was surprised that the monster was talking. Ever since Evangeline’s familiar, Fenrir, I’ve never met a talking monster…….

The fact that such a monster is on a par with Fenrir, even defeating Beatrice and causing Evangeline to bleed, raises a little fear.

‘No, no. It can’t be like this…….’

Recalling the example of Hecaterina, Johan shook his head and shook his head away from the fear he felt from the monster. There was a possibility that it was a monster that feeds on fear and grows like a fear witch.

Of course, it was questionable how that alone made Evangeline bleed——but Johan watched the fight while stepping back so as not to disturb the witches as much as possible.

“Light!”

Evangeline, who had been healed of her injuries, brought the sunlight from the sky to one place and struck it right on the monster’s head.

However, the moment the attack hits the monster, it flows around the monster’s body as if a magnet were in contact with one another.

An invisible barrier was pouring out all attacks. Margaret, who confirmed that appearance, attempted to sever the monster’s body in two with a space-cutting slash.

—That, Maaan!!
“Do you even bounce this off?”

None of the witches’ attacks, which they thought were the strongest until now, didn’t work. Even so, seeing the witches continuing to attack without giving up, Johann looked at the monster with pursed lips.

‘…… Is this an opportunity for me to be active?’

* * *

“Light, sound, air, magic, and time.”

Evangeline raised her magic and made everything possible against the monster. He took away his sight, his ears, the freedom to breathe, the magic that spread widely in the air, and even the time that only flowed from him.

In the midst of being deprived of everything and stopped, Margaret, who was aiming for that gap, activated the great magic.

“Eat this—and die!”

A kind of black hole created by compressing and compressing space into a single point flies toward the monster. The monster, deprived of the energy of the time axis, had no way to avoid him.

The witches, who thought they would be able to completely annihilate the monster this time, laughed out loud when they saw that even this did not work.

“What is this guy?”
“Well. Could it be a legendary dragon? The subject that came into being like this?”

Looking at the magic so great that the dragon in the legend of the master of magic came to mind, the two continued to find ways to attack the monster.

Now that it has been revealed that the monster’s attack breaks through the barrier on this side, it is not a good choice to get close to the monster to attack it.

Unlike witches, who are at most human beings except for magic, isn’t that monster a creature the size of an astonishing comrade even without magic?

‘How can I….’

While Evangeline struggled with her hair, all the magic that prevented the monster from moving disappeared and the free monster stared at the two of them.

A black liquid drips from the dark eyes that show no emotion. There was no one present who could recognize that these were the tears of a monster who felt betrayed by the witches.

I just covered my mouth thinking that the monster was doing something else.

—Ooh oh oh oh oh!!

The monster saw it and was enraged. And the magic of separation that had only wrapped around my body was scattered in all directions. It separated space, separated the atmosphere, and mixed the land, magic, and nature.

The disjointed space merged with each other, creating a naturally impossible scene, and the monster trampled on, trampling on the distorted space.

“Where?”

In an instant, a large hole appears in front of the monster that rushes right in front of you. The hole that Margaret ripped open after realizing that even if she could parry an attack that hit her directly, she could not evade the magic that attacked her.

Confirming that the monster had slipped into the hole, Margaret immediately closed the gap in space. Even she doesn’t know where the other side is.

“Have you done it?”
“Where did you send it?”
“I don’t know. I will go anywhere.”

Margaret thought that since she had found a strategy, she would be able to send it to the bottom of the deep sea or into outer space next time, smiling leisurely as she approached John.

“Disciple! Because this wonderful older sister has solved everything- stop going back…….”
“Behind!”

Johann shouted, and Margaret tilted her head and looked back. There, the monster that separated the space and returned to this place stood proudly.

─Ķ̸̨͉̩̞̺͚̭̠̿̎̓͑̚͝k̶̛̺̣̲͓̜̹̬͍̮̓̿̓̏̎̓̋̎͑̕û̸̲̼̚i̴̙̣͚̙̱̹̦͑͆̊ ̊̌͆̔͠͝ņ̸̡̛̪̻̦̳ ̊̌͆̔͠͝ņ̸̡̛̪̻̦̳k̸̢̘͓̦͔͓͓k̸̢̘͓̦͔͓͓̂̂͠͠

Margaret, who had goose bumps all over her body, reacted belatedly, and the monster immediately stabbed her hand at Margaret.

Pooh-! The moment the monster’s hand dug into Margaret’s abdomen, Margaret made an emergency escape by opening a gap behind her.

Margaret, who appeared several meters away, passed out, bleeding profusely from her torn abdomen.

“Mr. Margaret!”

Koo-ung – A monster blocks John’s way.
John glered at the monster.
One by one, blood is shed.
He even suffered serious injuries.
If you don’t act quickly, you will die.
Margaret dies.

‘I have to do it.’

It wasn’t the time to be excited about being active. Yohan patted Evangeline on the shoulder and moved forward.

“Master.”

“John? Why forward… Hiding behind I’ll try to do something…….”

“It’s too late then.”

It’s a fight you started.
It’s a fight that happened because of yourself.
Someone dies because of that fight.

John couldn’t stand it. If someone died, he or she had to risk his life too.

“Going. Master.”

With that said, John ran out. Seeing Yohan, who was no better than a flying insect, running towards me, the monster swung its arms. A blow of speed not commensurate with its size.

A blow that lightly tore apart even the walls of air and crossed the realm of sound touched Yohan’s body.

At the same time, the monster’s hand bounces far away. The monster frowned and looked at John. Obviously no magic was applied, but the monster’s hand took 0.01 seconds to reach. Aiming at the momentary gap, Evangeline’s magic was born.

If it had been created even a little faster, he would have tried to pierce the magic with the power of separation, but Evangeline’s madness and tenacity to not be able to kill John brought about a miracle.

“I was counting on you.”

Johann grinned and jumped into the monster’s arms. Even if you say it’s in the bosom, it’s just that I’m holding on to my legs.

The moment he grabs the monster’s leg, the magic John possesses is activated. A spell that nullifies all magic. The gap surrounding the monster’s body completely disappears.

─D̴͚̊̎ ̴͚̊̎͆̋̎

Of course, even without magic, a monster is a monster. It is very easy to kill John, a human who knows how to use magic, like killing insects.

It would have been if it had not been for Evangeline.

“—It’s noisy.”

Enraged at the fact that she endangered her pupil, Evangeline began twisting her mana into a spiral. The magic cannon, which rotates like a drill, is fired directly at the monster, and the monster’s upper body begins to crumple around the magic cannon.

It was a monster that far surpassed human strength and common sense, but even he could not surpass the witch’s magic.

Soon after, the monster whose upper body had completely disappeared and collapsed, and Evangeline was not vigilant and even the remaining lower body was completely atomized.

Before I could even marvel at the huge monster disappearing from before me, Johann ran straight for Margaret.

“Master!”
“I know.”

Stopping John from picking up the entrails dripping from the floor, Evangeline gestured to Beatrice, who was standing there blankly.

Evangeline, who created pure water to clean the dust from her intestines, looked at Beatrice and asked.

“You have to tie it up. You know how to do surgery, right?”
“Beatrice, she says she needs stitches!”
“Ha, I don’t know…….”
“It’s just like sewing a doll! Just do it!”

Since this was her first operation on a human body– Beatrice trembled with fear–but soon after, she felt John’s hand wrapped around the back of her hand and cautiously lifted her head.

“Beatrice, you can do it.”
“…… That’s it.”
“It’s okay. Trust me. Because your dolls were indistinguishable from real people.”

Beatrice, who heard John’s words, cautiously nodded and pulled out the magical thread. Her hands, which had been trembling before, did not tremble now.

Realizing that Beatrice was ready, Evangeline immediately inserted Margaret’s intestines and used her magic.

With the internal organs returning to their original places and the flesh trying to stick together—— Beatrice carefully sealed Margaret’s abdomen.

The operation was successful.
