[ Episode 342. Tragedy]
The appearance of the evolved nickel was quite different from before.
An ambiguous figure that is neither undead nor human.
To put it mildly, it was close to a human, but it looked like it had been stripped of its skin. Instead of the dobok he usually wore, he was wearing an unknown leather. Is that his own leather?
“Undead? What a bizarre figure.”
Nivas looked at Nickel with a machine-like expression. However, beneath that expressionless expression was a magician’s unique curiosity.
[Nathanael (??)]
-Nickel Life
Heal
-Apostle
–
?
Was there such an undead?
The name change from Sloth Phantom to Nataro was also strange, but the grade and tier were also question marks.
Most of all, it was noticeable that the species changed from undead to apostles.
-Ah…
Nickel raised his voice.
– Aaaaa!
Whoo!
Nickel took everything and ran straight to Nivas. Even the appearance of the bayside changed, but the appearance was an ordinary silver sword.
“It’s a strange look, but that’s all. You can’t stop me……”
Kwagak!
Nivas’ magic was shattered by Nickel’s sword.
[Blessing of Bartolomeo: You can use your sword to interfere with everything.]
[Diligence: Always apply sloth abilities.]
Those were terrible traits.
For some reason, a huge amount of mana was being consumed even after summoning only one nickel, and this was the reason.
“Amazing.”
Nivas, who had moved through space before he knew it, flew up into the air and looked down at us.
“That moment ago was an irrational force. What is it?”
– Lord.
Nickel called me with her eyes still on Nivas.
– You’ve waited a long time.
There was faith in those words that echoed through the space. Belief in yourself and the belief that you can defeat your opponent.
A blue demon stood in Nickel’s eyes and soon moved towards Nivas.
“It’s a mysterious power, but if you can’t reach it, stop.”
Nivas did not come down from thin air.
As he waved his hand, dozens of magic circles were created and magic poured out.
-If it doesn’t reach you, stop.
As Nickel laughed, he followed Nivas’ words and evaded the magic. The evaded magic rained down on me as well, but Ludo blocked my way with his huge body.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
In the meantime, the five senses that approached me looked at me with calm eyes.
“Are Nivas’s words true? Is it really irreversible?”
“calm down. I still had something to say.”
I calmly waited for the positive energy that I vaguely felt from the words of the five senses.
“When I looked at my body, as he said, an unknown procedure had already been completed. But did you say god? It probably refers to a transcendental person, but it seems to be far from that.”
“What is the distance…?”
“I don’t know exactly. What is certain is that this child’s mother would know, not me.”
Luna’s mother is Eve Millennium.
Come to think of it, Nivas’ plan had to be related to Eve in the first place.
“Don’t call me now.”
After saying that, the five senses disappeared.
Soon after, Luna looked at me with stuttering eyes and hugged me quickly.
“friend!”
“Is Luna okay?”
“It’s better than I thought.”
From the outside, it didn’t look like anything wrong.
It was unusual for something that was so painful.
‘The magic circle of the heart was actually activated, so why is it so fine?’
I thought I would have to hear from Eve Millennium, but Luna showed no signs of summoning Eve.
“Luna. Aren’t you going to summon Eve?”
“I was going to do that…”
Luna paused for a moment and remained quiet as if confirming something. Soon after, Luna nodded and said.
“You say you are busy.”
“Eve?”
“huh.”
There must have been something.
Isn’t the reason why Luna is so fine, in fact, related to Eve?
Wow!
On the nickel side, there was no complete mess.
The evolved Nickel was consistently overwhelming Nivas with a stronger appearance than the one he showed at the top.
“……Only undead…….”
Nivas seemed a little taken aback, but soon Kriebmacher, who was flying, dealt with all the remaining Maxwells and rushed at him.
Wow!
However, unlike Nickel, Kriebmacher’s attack was blocked by magic.
– Kriebmacher. burn me
-Are you giving orders to this body?
Why are you fighting the same side again?
I immediately had Kriebmacher burn the nickel and deal with Nivas.
Nickel then swung his sword over Kriebmacher’s head like a legendary dragon knight.
When the constraint of empty air disappeared, Nivas became desperate to run away. Nickel’s characteristics were the worst match for wizards.
-Pay back the crime of making your lord sad.
Kwajik!
It broke all magic and pierced even the solid defense, and eventually the sword of nickel dug into Nivas’ shoulder.
“It’s really incomprehensible. That undead like this could exist?”
Quaang!
Nivas crashed.
He fell to the floor, his face still expressionless, his mouth wide open.
“Sorry. It is my defeat.”
It was rather terrifying to see the legendary archmage, who had not known how long he had lived, calmly admit his defeat.
“I tried to create a new world, but the result is ruin.”
“What do you mean?”
I approached Nivas who was stuck on the floor and asked.
Then Nivas turned his head and looked at me.
“When I die, number 1223 will no longer be a god without a master. That means you can’t control it.”
It really didn’t feel human.
His attitude is so simple that it is hard to believe that he is a person who made a plan for a thousand years and failed just before the plan was successful.
“Number 1223 will only destroy the world and not create it. The creation was mine.”
“No need to worry about that.”
Luna approached and said.
No, she wasn’t Luna.
“Eve Millennium. Long time no see.”
When Nivas greeted her, Eve accepted it with a cold face.
“Yes, Maxwell.”
“Maxwell…”
Nivas smiled for the first time.
Then, the change was so dramatic that the expressionless appearance he had shown so far seemed like a lie.
“I’m sorry, Maxwell, but your plan was ruined long ago.”
“Could you explain a bit more?”
“Why do you think I am dead? And why did he bother to be under the command of Luna until he died?”
what’s wrong with your head
So, did Eve’s words mean that she died on purpose? Did you say that even the death of Maximin was all planned?
‘Is that why Maximin acted as if he had no guilt while looking at Luna?’
I thought Maximin was cold-blooded, but the story is different. If all of this was a plan, there was a good chance that Eve herself had asked to be killed.
“……Ah, is that so?”
Nivas showed a self-deprecating smile as if he understood Eve’s short words.
“As expected, you noticed it right away because you have a good head. It was for this moment that I died in the first place.”
“I don’t understand. Is Luna all right?”
Eve’s gaze lingered on me for a moment as I intervened.
“Maxwell could observe all living things. In order to avoid his eyes, there was no other way but to die and stay by Luna’s side. You won’t know what the dead me did to Luna.”
Even if you said that, I didn’t understand.
The most fundamental question was why did he try to avoid Nivas’s gaze even at the cost of his own life?
“Why is that? The reason he went so far…”
Actually, did he want to become a god?
Looking at me who was still puzzled, Eve smiled faintly.
“Maxwell’s plan is something I agreed to and proceeded with. But there was something in the middle that I hadn’t predicted either.”
Eve put her hand to her chest, still smiling.
“Even I didn’t know there was such a thing as maternal love. It wasn’t obvious at first, but the more I taught Luna magic, the more I couldn’t hide it.”
I honestly couldn’t believe it.
I was sure rationally, but…
Looking back, I could understand emotionally considering that I was prepared to die for Luna as well. I don’t know if that’s sincere.
“I have a question. Then, where did Ouroboros’ magic go?”
At that time, Nivas cut off his words as if they were not worth listening to. After Eve appeared, it was quite interesting to see her particularly emotional appearance.
“Where is it? It is here.”
“……impossible.”
When Eve pointed at herself and said, Nivas shook her head as she lay down.
“That mighty mana is a powerful energy source for being reborn as a god. If you want to keep it, you have to at least become a god.”
“Yes, you are right.”
Eve smiled and nodded.
“That’s why I was summoned now.”
“……what are you talking about.”
“I have already died for my daughter. Adding here won’t change anything.”
“Eve Millennium!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A wave of magic power exploded.
His anger, which was invisible even when the plan collapsed, burst out at Eve’s few words.
Didn’t you actually think that the plan had failed when you were beaten by Nickel?
“Adrias Cromwell.”
Eve spoke to me, not paying attention to whether or not Nivas, immobilized by Nickel, was angry.
“Please speak.”
“Please take good care of Luna in the future.”
It was like saying goodbye.
The moment I thought about it, I was able to notice Eve’s plan.
“Eve no way…….”
“As you might have guessed, I will soon be destroyed. But the reason I can put my mind at ease is thanks to you putting a good guardian by Luna’s side.”
……Sacrifice to this extent?
The witch who had protected her daughter with her own death said goodbye to me, enduring the extinction of her soul.
“Please live happily ever after.”
“Judgment rationally, Eve Millennium! It is the magic that can become a god! Are you vainly trying to handle it with your own extinction!”
Even at Nivas’ cry, Eve closed her eyes without answering. Then Nivas’s face was impatient.
“It’s true… you crazy witch!”
Mana swirled.
Just as Eve said, Luna’s body soon began to fill the space with unbelievably pure magical energy.
“…if it’s already over…”
then Nivas muttered ominously.
“I will kill everyone here. happiness? Stop laughing!”
Nivas’ chest swelled to a grotesque extent.
“nickel.”
Fu-wook!
Nickel first sensed the anomaly before the order was exhausted and stabbed Nivas with his sword. But Nivas laughed at us like that.
“I can’t be alone. Everyone will die.”
Ugh—–!
The space we were in activated the magic circle once again. And the identity of the magic circle was easier to grasp than before.
‘explosion.’
It’s self-destructive.
The magic circle was so huge that there was no way to stop it.
Luna was still dissolving magic with her eyes closed. I had to make a decision to protect her.
“Timur.”
-Kreung.
Timur rushed over.
And Timur, who read my will, sent a signal.
[Fury Revenant (Legend) wants to use Rage.]
[You will share the cooldown of Rage with Fury Revenant (Legend).] [Are you
sure you want to accept?]
‘I accept.’
Flash–
Black flames rose from Timur’s body for a moment, then faded.
“Oh come on.”
Timur’s aura secret inferno.
An overwhelming Aura match that left his name in history as he could not be penetrated by any attack.
I never thought I would use it in a situation like this.
“mom?”
Eve’s descent was released, and Luna staggered with a hazy expression. I had such Luna wrapped around Timur.
“If you sleep for a while, it will be over soon.”
“friend?”
Luna looked at me anxiously.
She’s probably guessing what’s going on.
But I didn’t want to worry her.
“Nothing will happen.”
“My friend!”
Unfortunately, Timur wasn’t big enough to cover me. Even if it was just barely possible, I would have given up, since there should be no gaps as much as possible.
‘But I… will not die.’
꾸 Woo-woong —-
It started.
Soon, a huge explosion crashed ahead of the sound, turning my vision white.
Aaaagh————!
