Chapter 99
—————————————
[Sisyphus Rock (3)]
Sword and Sword At the moment of this collision, a strong shock wave was generated.
“Ugh!”
In terms of strength, Daein was greatly pushed back. However, the great man bounced back and succeeded in aiming his left arm precisely at the devil’s face.
Slam! Wooooow!
The muzzle of the hand cannon, which was already warmed up, emitted a dazzling light.
-Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A large hole opened in the ground behind the devil. And one of the horns fell off the devil’s helmet.
“…Tsk. “It was a turning blow.”
The great man clenched his tongue in disappointment and changed the hand cannon in his left hand back into the second stage – gauntlet form.
Clap, rattle!
A powerful bombardment like before could not be carried out often. Not only is it hard on the body, but the energy contained in the watch is not infinite.
‘Let’s use it for defense for a while.’
Clap, rattle!
The gauntlet, which had been transformed into two stages, unfolded into a wide shape and became like a round shield from wrist to elbow.
After entrusting Abraxas with a request to investigate the watch – surprisingly, the investigation is not yet finished – the great man learned more about the function of the watch.
The most useful feature is that you can now change the shape to a certain extent as desired.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
The great man dodged the opponent’s attack with his shield and burrowed into his arms.
Considering the length of the weapon, the closer it was, the more advantageous it was. Dae-in, who made a stride, lifted Shalit upward from the bottom and slashed him.
Gagagagak!
The magic sword imbued with strength pierced the opponent’s magic barrier, but could not even cut through the armor.
There was a sword mark that looked like a snake crawling across the thick breastplate. However, the great man stepped back immediately without even having time to feel regret.
-Quaaaang!
The great sword struck down where the great man was. The floor exploded as if a bomb had exploded, and the devil let out a vicious roar.
[Kaaaaaaaa!]
-Toooooooo!
The devil hit the floor and was shot at the great man like a cannonball. The 3-meter long sword was no different from a spear to the opponent.
“shield!”
The devil’s great sword came in, tearing the shield like a piece of paper.
Kya-ang!
“Keuheuk!”
The attack was barely deflected, but in return, the great man rolled on the floor. Where the great sword ‘grazed’ the shoulder, a piece of flesh was torn off and flew away.
Fortunately, its attack did not continue. This was because Abraxas aimed his arrow between the devil’s helmet.
Swish swish swish!
Abraxas fired arrows at incredible speed.
Fire ice wind thunderbolt. The speed at which the arrows, each containing different attributes, flew was so fast that it almost looked like a rainbow was flying.
The problem is that it lacks power.
[Krrrrr…!!]
The devil raised one arm to protect his helmet and rushed at Abraxas, swinging his sword.
Whick!
She moved back with a quick movement.
Meanwhile, Daein sprinkled potion on the wound and stood up.
“shit. “If it’s a direct hit, even if it hits your toe, you’ll die.”
It was a monster more monstrous than I thought. Why did a guy like that run away in his past life?
The great man immediately remembered the answer.
‘but. If my country were surrounded by those five people, I would start running away…’
In other words, it was said that a large human being seemed easy to him.
“You will regret it bitterly today.”
Tadat!
The great man rushed at the devil again. I changed the shield in my left hand into a sword and attacked the guy from behind with dual swords, one in each hand.
Kaga-ga-gang!
Dozens of sword marks were engraved on the devil’s armor. The devil turned back and swung his great sword sharply.
Whoa!
At that moment, Daein changed the sword in his left hand back into the form of a hand cannon.
Clap, rattle!
At the same time, he hurriedly retreated back and fired his hand cannon.
Pow! Pow! Bubble bubbling!
An angry demon roared amidst the pouring bombardment.
[Kaaaaaa!]
But Daein had already widened the distance between them. And every time the devil tries to chase the great man,
swish swish!
There was no choice but to be interrupted by arrows or magic aimed at the gap between the helmets.
Even though it was almost their first time together, Daein and Abraxas got along well.
Both knew exactly when to step up and when not to step up.
In the end, the devil had no choice but to bring out all his strength.
[Kaaaa!!]
A loud roar that shakes the earth.
At the same time, the magical power that had been emanating from my entire body was now blooming with the force of burning the armor.
It wouldn’t be strange to call it a black flame giant.
It didn’t end there.
From the floor to the walls to the ceiling.
Golems of all kinds began to rise up.
Something resembling a human, something resembling an animal, something big, something small. Even things that cannot be explained.
Dozens of golems began to surround Daein and Abraxas.
Abraxas looked at the great man with an expression of interest.
“I think we’re in trouble?”
“You call that a horse?”
The golems stomped and attacked them.
The face of battle has changed. The golems narrowed the space, crowding Daein and Abraxas, and the two moved to avoid being surrounded, destroying the golems one by one.
And the devil who changed into a more intense form
– Kwaang! bang! Bang bang bang!
He mercilessly swung his great sword and cornered the two.
Now Abraxas had no time to use magic, and Daein was busy avoiding attacks.
However, there was still no sign of impatience on the Daein’s face.
“It’s time to start recovering…”
Daein checked the time and looked toward the entrance of the room.
A chocolate bar that Abraxas gave me earlier. And about 5 minutes have passed since the fight started….
Grrr!
The great man grinned as he watched the flames growing bigger in the distance.
A moment later, a fist-shaped flame flew out and struck the demon.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
And the sparks that flew in succession struck the golems.
Pow! Pow! Bubble bubbling!
The hastily constructed golems could not withstand the high heat and melted into a mushy mess.
And a moment later, Lily appeared with her hands on her hips.
“Lily! resurrection!”
[Kwaaaaah!]
The angry demon attacked Lily without hesitation.
Of course, I wasn’t the type of person to leave that alone.
Kaaaaaaang-!
The great man spoke to Abraxas, who was sighing while blocking the devil’s path.
“Can you cast a curse or weakening spell on him?”
“What kind?”
“Paralysis slowing down. “Anything that causes restrictions on movement.”
“Demon species have strong curse resistance. “I need time to concentrate to cast that much magic with my body.”
“Then please hurry as much as possible.”
The great man rushed at the devil, raising his magical power to the point where it was hard on his body.
Go go go go!
As the swords clashed, numerous sparks flew out.
For the first time in a long time, Daein pushed his body to its limits. Because each of the opponent’s attacks was fatal. I concentrated on dodging, blocking, and sometimes counterattacking.
Maybe it was because I was so focused, but I felt a little strange.
‘what?’
Time slowed down and then sped up, and the surrounding sounds grew louder and then became quiet again. I even felt like I was looking down at myself in the third person.
I heard this story somewhere before.
‘All things? Unity of swords and bodies? …I? no way. That can’t be possible.’
The great man did not believe in enlightenment. He didn’t have any talent, and only got to his current level through various shortcuts obtained through regression.
– The great man believed.
Anyway, I held on. The great man held out until Abraxas completed his magic.
“…I’m ready.”
Abraxas, with half-opened eyes, drew the bowstring. Gray magic arrows were shooting out from above the bow.
Teeing!
The magic arrow flew and hit the devil’s shoulder armor. Knowing the power of magic arrows, the devil didn’t care.
That was a mistake.
The gray magic power that started from where the arrow hit wrapped around the devil’s body like a vine.
Quad deuk!
The vines that grew into dozens and hundreds of stems tightened, twisted, and distorted the devil’s body.
[Kaaaaaa!]
The panicked demon screamed, violently tearing off the magical vines with his hands.
The great man took a moment to step back. But it wasn’t for rest.
“Whoop….”
I put my sword on hold and took a deep breath. And naturally, I took the cardinal formula.
The opponent is faster and stronger than you.
In order to use large technologies without risk, there was no need to tie them down even for a moment.
The 1st form of the Breaking Heavenly Sword,
Heavenly Magic Cham (天魔斬).
Somehow, the sword’s trajectory seemed to be more natural than last time.
‘I might be able to use the second herbivore now…’
Before I could finish thinking, the light that exploded from the sword engulfed the demon.
-Paaaaaaa!
And then
tuk. Degurrr.
The severed head of the devil rolled on the floor. The green light pouring in between the helmets had disappeared.
The great man kicked the helmet that rolled towards him to the side.
“Whew. “You’re fussing over something that isn’t a big deal.”
But contrary to what I said, my legs were shaking. Then I ended up collapsing on the floor.
dump.
The great man lay on the floor for a while and stared blankly at the ceiling. I suddenly became so relaxed that it was not easy to get up.
“…I almost died.”
It was a fight that I would not have had normally.
A disaster suddenly started, so I rushed over and ended up fighting a powerful demon without much preparation.
To be honest, I had the arrogance of thinking, ‘If my current skills are the same, it might be worth a try…’
Anyway, it’s all over. Now, all you have to do is take a break and go back to find the Black Stone that the devil may have hidden somewhere in this room.
The real disaster has only just begun, but let’s think about it for a day or so.
“no!”
It was then that Abraxas shouted in surprise,
“What? “What do you know?”
“It’s not the devil!!”
“…What do you mean?”
The great man only slightly raised his head. Abraxas was seen squatting in front of the dead demon.
Are you looking into the neck of a dead devil just to see something?
“Great man! “Come here!”
“What is it?…”
The man grumbled and walked away. Even Lily was squatting in front of the demon, looking into its severed throat.
“kid. “I thought there was something good about seeing that… This is crazy!”
The great man was startled and took a step back.
Anyone would have a similar reaction if they saw a creature they had never seen crouching inside the body of an enemy whose head they had cut off.
Abraxas lifted the breastplate of what he believed to be a demon.
Then, I saw a green otherworldly person curled up and sleeping inside.
Overall, it was similar to a human, but it was small, about 1 meter and 30 cm tall, and did not have a single hair on its body.
Daein was also someone from another world that I had never seen before.
“host! Yes, this was a host! And he’s still alive! For some reason, curse magic works well for me. And these creatures aren’t from Earth, right? What dimension did it come from? So who made this giant rock? That devil from earlier? Or this otherworldly person? “Maybe it’s a joint work?!”
Leaving behind Abraxas, who was very excited with intellectual curiosity, the great man raised his sword and aimed it at the otherworldly man.
Abraxas, startled, blocked him.
“What are you doing!”
The Daein pointed to the black stone embedded in the Otherworlder’s chest. I asked where it was and there it was.
It was a good idea to cut off the head. If it had been cut vertically, it would have destroyed the Black Stone.
“That’s what I’m looking for.”
“…You’re going to kill creatures from this world because of that stone?”
“That’s right.”
The great man nodded calmly. But inside, I was quite surprised.
‘Why do Chinese people surprise people by not telling them?’
Is it because aliens look similar to humans?
In the past, China discovered the Black Stone ‘inside the Rock of Sisyphus.’ It was just announced.
Abraxas said with a serious expression.
“wait for a sec. There is a high probability that this creature was the host of another being. Therefore, this living being is without sin.”
“That’s not my part-time job.”
It didn’t matter whether it was a host or something. Anyway, he was the one who killed countless people and had the things he needed on his person.
To a large person, this was no different from dismantling a monster.
But Abraxas was not like that.
She was curious about the identity of this green alien and wanted to talk to him.
Curiosity was this dragon’s overriding principle of action.
“There might be some story. “Aren’t you curious?”
“I’m not curious.”
“If you save me, I can teach you otherworldly technology. “You’re interested, right?”
It was a bit interesting, but there were many more techniques that even if you already knew it, you couldn’t use it.
Rather, I wanted Black Stone more. Building a sturdy house and reinforcing the guild office were a lot more interesting.
“Not much happens.”
“…hang on.”
Abraxas looked around.
Her eyes shined transparently, and a lot of information flowed into her head.
Kiiiiing!
The internal structure of this rock I saw on the way. The structure and function of this room, which is presumed to be a control room. And even the physical structure of this otherworldly being.
Abraxas, who grasped a lot of information in an instant, categorized and analyzed it. And he proposed the best conditions that could be offered to Daein.
“…good. Let’s do it this way.”
The great man crossed his arms and looked at her quietly.
“I can only separate that black stone from this otherworlder’s body. “It may take some time, but it is possible with my abilities.”
The great man had a disapproving expression.
“Why should I wait? “Just tear it off and that’s it.”
“I knew you would say that.”
Just as the Great Man had a vague understanding of Abraxas, she also knew about the person known as the Landlord.
If you promise reasonable compensation, people will change their decision.
Abraxas said, looking around.
“This giant rock-shaped artificial life form. “I’ll modify it so you can use it.”
“…….”
The great man was silent. It was not because he was worried, but because he did not understand at the moment.
‘…You’re saying you’ll let me control a 100-meter mobile fortress?’
The great man summarized those words very briefly and asked back.
“…really?”
“If you want, I swear on my name.”
“Well, if you’ll do that…”
The great man nodded, pretending not to win.
