Compliments…
Bang! bang! bang! bang!
The fallen iron wall blocked all the holes in the mansion. Blockade of all exits in an instant.
It didn’t matter anyway, as I had no intention of escaping until I got the key fragment anyway.
In the darkened room, only the upper body remained, Abiditas’ eyes twinkled brightly.
[Die now!!!]
He shouted and the floor broke. Dozens of metal thorns stretched out towards us. By far the most massive attack among the gold people I’ve ever seen.
How many years has this interest been a gold man?
“Haap!!!”
Cardisho took a short breath and moved. The vermilion light that sprouted from both ends of the silver rod violently split the darkness.
Aaaaang!!!
A clear sound that spreads out with the collision. Even though the light and the metal collided, the two made a sound like metal colliding. The metal thorns that couldn’t overcome Cardisho’s power bent and landed on the ceiling.
After blocking the first attack, Cardisho hurriedly turned his head. She looked at me with her red eyes and shouted.
“Let’s get out of here! Marnak! Continuing a war of attrition here will do us no good!”
“yes!”
As Cardisho said, no matter how much he grappled with these metal shells, the essence of Aviditas could not be damaged at all. We had to find out.
The core, which moves all these metals and is the source of life for the gold people.
[Do you think they’ll let you go!!!]
When he held out his right hand, the metal that covered the room shook. The wooden door was crushed and the metal that had fallen from the ceiling replaced the door.
If it is blocked, it must be pierced.
I clenched my right fist. I just hit the wall.
Kaaang!!!
crumbling metal. Well then, that metal wall blocking our way wasn’t Immortalium. In the first place, it was clear that the Immortalium he possessed was probably used to protect the core, given the nature of the gold man who terribly cherished Immortalium.
He raised his fist to hit the wall once more.
“Get out of the way! Marnak!”
As I reflexively bent down, the metal shoe passed by me and hit the crumpled iron door.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Scattering metal powder and an open door. A few strands of blood sprouted on Cardisho’s white face. She stretched out her hand and grabbed me.
“let’s go!”
“yes? yes.”
I was a little taken aback by her trustworthy appearance, but soon I regained my composure and ran back down the hallway after her.
[Don’t miss it!!! Give me my Immortalium right now!!!]
Shouts from behind. The walls shattered and metal spikes came out all at once, aiming at us. Cardisho grabbed the silver rod.
“You take the left one! Marnak! I’ll take the one on the right!”
“Yes!”
The black metal that covered both hands grew in an instant and covered my entire body. The Butcher jumped out with a clatter. Thousands of saw blades began to rotate with the resounding sound of starting.
Why hey hey hey hey!!!
hit it straight The rotating Immortalium saw blade grinded the metal thorns like cutting tofu, as if discussing the price of metal.
I tried to organize my part and help Cardisho, but soon I realized that she didn’t need my help at all.
Kaaang!!!
The last thorn struck by the scarlet light bent terribly. Truly, superhuman strength beyond human standards. It was after Cardisho finished adjusting to his new body that had fused with the Witchbeast while visiting the capital.
A wriggling bloodline. Although the veins were clearly revealed every time he used excessive force to see if he had fully adapted yet. It was a very minor side effect to gain such strength.
As we lightly blocked the blitz of attacks, additional attacks were cut short.
Cardisho narrowed his eyes and scanned the hallway of the mansion.
“It seems that we have decided to change the way we attack because it is unlikely that we will be easily attacked.”
“Anyway, there’s only one thing we have to do, isn’t it?”
“yes. We must find Abiditas’ core. Let’s start talking while moving.”
“I see.”
We continued our search, opening every door we could reach, but found nothing out of the ordinary except for the metal-barred windows.
bang.
“Tsk.”
Cardisho, who smashed another door, clicked his tongue.
“It doesn’t come out easily either. Considering the experience Aviditas had to deal with metal of this scale, is it natural? It’s the first time I’ve experienced this since I was born, so I’m a little embarrassed.”
“That goes for me too.”
bang!
He responded lightly and kicked the door on the other side, but as expected, this room was also empty.
“Terji by the way…”
she paused. Since this was inside Abaditas’ body, he seemed to think that he might be listening to this story.
“He’ll probably be fine on the ship. It’s because he’s a friend who does what he has to do. No need to worry.”
I answered roundabout. It was clear that the Tergio I knew would be galloping somewhere in this mansion in a stroom. While wandering in search of the core of Abiditas, which must be hidden.
[Is finding my core going smoothly?]
At that moment, a golden face appeared through the ceiling. There was a strange composure on the face of the lump of metal. The turmoil I felt after watching Immortalium seemed to have subsided a little. There was still a lot of desire in his eyes, though.
Cardisho’s eyes sank heavily. She lifted her head slightly and glared straight at Aviditas.
“I had a little doubts about whether you really were worshipers of evil spirits, but seeing that you want to harm people’s lives so easily with just a single desire, you must be an extremely reckless person even if you are not a worshiper of evil spirits!!!”
[under! under! under! under! under! Desire is perfectly natural! For those of you who barely live through double digits of time, you may not understand, but how life naturally goes out like a candle! Only hard and unchanging metal is eternal!]
The metal face squirmed and drew a big smile.
[It’s really fleeting! moment! The life of your kind burns brightly and goes out! It’s just…]
Abiditas’s head stopped talking for a moment. He stared intently at my metal armor standing across the cardigan.
[A life like you, who lives for a moment, will disappear by itself even if I don’t bother to harm it. What would I do if I, who live for eternity, quarreled with lives that would end anyway? So, I have one suggestion for you in particular!]
Kung.
The head that fell from the ceiling swelled up and took on the shape of a metal man. Abiditas still looked at me.
[What did you come to me for? If you give away all the Immortalium you have, I will make your wishes come true! Human!]
“Are you trying to make a deal?”
[okay! It’s a deal! As you know, I am also a trustworthy merchant! If you give me all Immortalium, I’ll make it happen!]
I smiled.
“Can anything really work?”
[Yes!]
“Then, kill Havas of the Blind Faith, the prophet of Liberationio, and bring me the bowl of the god he is making. If you bring the vessel of the god in front of me, I will gladly take off this armor and hand it to you.”
[What…?]
Abiditas’ face twisted. I smiled and continued talking.
“Can’t you? Didn’t you just say you would do something for me?”
[Killing the Liberatio prophet is something no country should be prepared to lose. wait a minute I need time to think about it.]
It wasn’t a complete denial.
what? Wasn’t he loyal to the libertio? In addition, one more surprising thing is that he was looking at the ‘possibility’ now. In other words, it was the same as saying that he had the confidence to handle the prophet alone.
Anyway, if time dragged on like this, it was a good thing for me. Terzio must be diligently searching for the core of the author even at this moment.
“Marnac.”
While Abiditas was in trouble, Cardisho called me.
“I heard you say that one of the prophets is in this city, but ‘God’s Vessel’. What are you talking about?”
Oh, did I ever tell you about the vessel of God?
“I have heard that the Liberatorio is trying to bring an evil spirit to this land. I don’t know exactly, but the god’s vessel probably refers to the body that the evil god will descend on.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about the vessel of the gods? Marnak?”
A subtle suspicion crept into his red eyes. I just laughed lightly and replied.
“I also found out today. So I guess I forgot to say it.”
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t tell the priest, Cardisho, about the deal with Pearly. From her point of view, the vessels of the gods must be destroyed.
“…Once I knew it. but.”
She looked straight at me and spoke clearly.
“Next time, I want you to tell me everything without forgetting. Aren’t we colleagues To be honest… for a moment, I mistook you for hiding something from me on purpose, and I felt very lonely.”
Cardisho grabbed my wrist. She gave off a straight smile, as usual. A smile so cool that my conscience is pricked.
“So next time don’t do that.”
“I will.”
Unfortunately, seeing that smile, I firmly resolved to break up with her when my work here in the capital of the Northern Empire was over.
One day, before Cardisho realizes my true identity and becomes sad and angry at the feeling of betrayal.
[Is the act of affection over? No matter how old you get, you can’t understand the male-female relationship between you humans who run rampant at any time and situation.]
Cardisho’s face turned a little red.
“An act of affection? This was just telling me that I felt left out as a colleague!!!”
[be not interested in. man there. I have carefully considered the suggestion you made to me. But it seems difficult to kill Havas as you wish. No matter how much Immortalium you get, it just doesn’t pay off.]
“Then the deal is broken.”
The melted face of Aviditas wriggled.
[No, listen to the end. Is Havas’ death what you want? Or is it the vessel of the god he is making? If what you want is God’s vessel, I can offer you other terms.]
A key protruded from the soft metal palm.
“key?”
[Yes, this is the key to secretly go to the place where the vessel of the god is. If you hand over the Immortalium armor you are wearing, I will give you this key and I will guide you personally. So that you can safely steal the god’s bowl.]
If that key is real, you could steal the god’s bowl with Pearly and retrieve the divinity of the nearby holy object. After all, there was no need to bring the holy relic to retrieve the divinity.
Shall I fool you by saying that I will give you the armor when the job is done well?
Before I could answer, Abiditas’ body shook violently.
[Kuh?!]
The key that appeared melted and was sucked into his body. Aviditas’s eyes were vague for some reason.
[A metal knight with an immortalium body… How could it be this beautiful…]
He immediately came to his senses and glared at me.
[These damn bastards!!! How dare you pretend to offer a deal and send something so beautiful to my core?! I will kill you and all the beautiful ones and take Immortalium!!!]
I exclaimed urgently.
“If I tell you to stop, you will stop right away! So please guide us to the vessel of the gods!”
It was much more profitable to eat and swell with those gold people here.
[go away! I will take this beautiful ruler and I will take the armor you are wearing!!! Such a pure mass of Immortalium! These things… After Princess Ceylon disappeared, I thought I would never see her again! ha ha ha! What a windfall!]
After those words, Abiditas’ body melted and disappeared somewhere. It must have disappeared to focus on the fight against Tergio, who had reached the core.
“Kadi Show!”
“If there is a fight, there will definitely be a sound coming from somewhere! let’s go there! Marnak!”
“yes!”
***
Inside the space surrounded by huge metal, Terzio stared straight at the glowing core beyond.
Caan!!!
Terzio briskly flicked his hands and deflected the metal tentacles. Judging from the fact that it did not cut, the metal that made up these tentacles was clearly immortalium.
A body made of metal protruded from a core the size of an adult male. Abiditas spoke in a sweeter voice than ever before.
[Let’s become one with me! beautiful one! I will make you happy for the rest of your life!]
Tergio gripped the sword tightly. He took his seat and soon became a silver line and collided with Aviditas’ tentacles.
Aaaaang!!!
Blue light flickered wildly through Tergio’s eye sockets in the sparks that jumped out. Emotions that had been built up exploded.
– It is the time of proof that has come at the end of a time of perseverance! How soon is this opportunity to help the heir!!! I will never miss this opportunity and cut off your core, and I will definitely be praised by the successor!!! Die like this!!! Abiditas!!!
