Clearing the Game at the End of the World Chapter 48

Chapter.4 Eyelids (21)

***

“But you’re smarter than I imagined. “An attack using Mute’s strong strength and a discarded material called a gongman stone… Isn’t this also proof that our choice was right?”

Ta-da! Ta-ja-ja-da!

The air in the room was getting hotter each time the dozens of blue whips lined up behind Isaac’s back struck the air.

‘An attack so powerful that it warms the air with frictional heat. Was the identity of the strange sound that magic? At that level, the area where it was hit won’t just be injured.’

It was strange. If that many whips were fired at the same time, it would have been difficult for any country to survive, but Isaac’s whip only struck the air and seemed to have no intention of moving forward.

Isaac, on the other hand, seemed impressed by the fact that I was quietly observing the situation even with him in front of me.

“That’s amazing. Even in the face of a threatening attack, he doesn’t explode with his evil voice. Are you even… observing me? You’re looking for a way to kill me! I can’t believe I’m learning even at this moment! As expected, the creature called Mute….”

Pow!

“amazing!”

With Isaac’s words, the two whips that were hitting the air were aimed at the Rakshasha and me.

‘Damn it, if you don’t do something, you’ll be beaten unilaterally like this!’

The moment I leaned forward to block it with my body, the Rakshasha’s arm blocked my path.

“Can you wait a moment?”

“Why…”

In response to my question, she just smiled brightly and raised her hands

.

“Stock (紬式) Amrita (अमृत)”

was pulled straight out of the air. This was not a figurative expression, but really, the space at the end of her fingers was shaking and distorting like a haze.

‘skill? Is that also a type of witchcraft? Wasn’t the Rakshasa an assassin?’

With the spell, cracks began to appear in the air. No, when I looked closely, I saw that countless threads were connected to the tips of her fingers and were crossing between her and Isaac. The whip of water cut through the air like a ricochet and dissipated in the air with a sound like a string instrument being plucked.

“You’re not sloppy enough to suffer an attack like that, are you?”

The sound of strings being plucked from her fingertips was heard one after another, and Isaac’s whips began to move at a faster pace.

‘Rather than striking the air, were you blocking the Rakshasha’s thread?’

Looking closely, I saw that the thin threads were filling the room like a spider’s web, and were strangling the wizards from all directions under her control.

“It’s a martial art that uses stock thread… I heard that there are people in the far eastern tribal countries beyond the Great Desert who use an art similar to this. What are the eastern savages doing to Rodrik?”

“Oh my gosh, you’re trying to pry into a lady’s secret. Are you disqualified as a man?”

Let’s go!

With the sound of a thread being pulled from a white fingertip, the threads that had been lightly scattered around gathered together to the point where they looked white and were quickly tightened around the wizards behind them.

“That such nonsense doesn’t work… I must have confirmed it several times!”

Fishit-!

Isaac’s right hand pointed to the Rakshasa. And as soon as he grabbed it, a small drop of water from the Rakshasha’s skin was sucked into his hand, and red spots began to spread on his skin.

“…!”

As the Rakshasha bit her lip, her threads filling the room were seen gathering together and sounding like a drum, ventilating the air inside. Following her guidance, cool air flowed through the hole the professor entered, lowering the temperature inside.

‘This muggy temperature… Dammit! ‘An attack using the opponent’s bodily fluids?’

The professor realized the identity of the blood spots spread all over the Rakshasha’s body. If you are in the 6th hierarchy, your control over water will be enormous. Although the moisture contained in the body belongs to the person’s body and cannot be controlled with even the slightest amount of control, the moisture and sweat discharged from the body is sufficient even with the control weakened by the Gong Demon Stone.

‘The good news is that he doesn’t use many types of magic. Weakened by Rakshasha’s pressure and Gongma Crystal. Isaac isn’t all that relaxed either.’

The thread that was tightening towards the wizards behind inevitably turned towards Isaac again, and Isaac retrieved the hand that was pointing towards the Rakshasha, made a hand sign, and began striking the air with the whip of water again.

A fighting method that strengthens the defense and simultaneously changes the surrounding environment to one’s advantage and reduces the enemy’s combat power in a calculated manner. This is the standard fighting method of a water magician.

A thread gathered from thin air was wrapped around the Rakshasha’s arm, which was bleeding from the inside. She had been blocking the professor’s path until the moment she was injured, and the meaning of her actions was clear.

‘You attacked at the risk of loss to give me information.’

The professor summarized the situation by checking his left arm, which had already grown to the wrist.

‘Narrow and limited space. There are Rakshasha threads everywhere… but she also can’t use magical power, so she can’t produce much power. It creates an environment where it is easy for the enemy to defend and use magic, and when the temperature in the room rises above a certain level, it launches an attack that cannot be avoided. That large sphere of water in the center… is probably the source of magical power for the Reed Flow Magic Tower, which controls the eight rivers flowing into the city. That is the source of the magic power that Isaac uses.’

The incidents that were randomly highlighted through [Overcoming Mental Breakdown] were quickly organized and replaced with meaningful information.

A scene where the Rakshasha’s thread attacks the wizards behind. And some of the whip that was protecting Isaac is fired in that direction, and some of it is canceled, and Isaac urgently attacks the Rakshasha.

‘Isaac is a cold-blooded person who can abandon even an entire city’s worth of civilians if necessary. There is no other reason for protecting a student like that in a battle situation. Because they need it. That spell and that magic movement….. Ah ha. 1 Hierarchical Magic [Flow Manipulation]

Professor Iro-kun is a clumsy but enlightened wizard. In the professor’s eyes, the magic power flowing from the magic source to his students and from his students to Isaac was clearly visible.

‘It would be difficult to absorb mana and cast it at the same time in a space where a mana repulsion field is formed like this. The disciples in the back are responsible for securing mana from the magic source and funneling it to Isaac, who can use it most efficiently.’

The professor checked the system’s clock.

[18th of Jockmann’s month. 1 a.m.]

‘There is no time. It won’t be long before Tobrun’s troops flock to the Mage Tower. Before that, I need to subdue him and sort out the situation before I can move on to the next step.’

What is important is that the other person is also aware of the situation. Isaac was operating his magic very defensively, and there was no way to break through that defense at the moment.

‘In the end, you have to gamble…’

Through Rakshasha’s sacrifice, he became familiar with the enemy’s weaknesses. If you catch the disciples in the back, the mana that goes to Isaac will run out. If that happens, the Rakshasha can capture Isaac. A groundbreaking means was needed to address that weakness and change the environment the wizard had built.

Ta-ja-ja-da!

“Red mute. It’s a face that is deeply troubled. Even if your intelligence is high, if you lack learning, you are no different from a primitive person. “Is this your first time in a magic battle?”

Isaac spoke to the professor in a warm voice, as if he were teaching a child. The arrogance that only a person who is clearly aware of his victory was evident in his voice.

“…Shut up, human. “I will kill you for my mother!”

Isaac’s nerves were immediately focused on the voice, which was deliberately scratched as if phlegm was boiling.

‘The Rakshasha’s injury appears to be deeper than expected. A technique to manipulate numerous threads as if they were one’s own body. In such delicate combat techniques, the sharpness of the technique is greatly reduced even with small wounds. If any more Rakshashas get injured, there will be no chance for us to win.’

I had to get his attention. His interests. There was no need to think. Interest in myself that shows even in life-threatening battles.

“Grrr human… I can smell the blood of my brothers here. “Where did you take my brothers?”

The professor spoke as mutely as possible and took a step forward, covering the Rakshasha with his body.

Unlike magic that has a physical entity, such as a whip, magic that specifies a target tends to become difficult to cast when the target is out of sight. If you do this, Rakshasha will no longer be affected by the moisture magic.

Hearing the professor’s words, Isaac gave him an even more interesting look.

“The smell of my brothers’ blood… yes. Is that why? Are they also wary of us researching Mute? That’s why they targeted us and threw a precious card called ‘Talking Mute’ into the middle of the city. This is truly an honor…”

The professor’s eyes brightened at Isaac’s words.

‘As expected, mute research was being conducted here as well. Since this is their base, they may be conducting this on a larger scale than the Count’s underground laboratory.’

Tiring-!

[Mutation berserk activated. Consumes blood.]

Chiiik!

Along with the feeling of my body drying out, red steam began to emanate from my entire body.

‘It’s a different story if you have Mute blood!’

“W-Whoa whoa!”

Taang!

The professor’s huge body shot towards Isaac like a cannonball.

“Foolish! It’s disappointing that you can’t handle the pressure and just rush in! You shouldn’t do that. You guys need to be stronger and wiser! In order to become the mother of a new human being!

Ta-ja-ja-da!

The whips of water that were striking the air quickly came out to meet the professor.

“That’s not enough!”

“this! danger….!”

The threads of the Rakshasha quickly gathered behind the professor who was rushing at him recklessly, but Isaac attacked the professor by flicking the threads of the Rakshasha with his dozens of whips, as if he would use this opportunity to completely suppress the professor who was alone in the attacking area.

Let’s go! Pababaan!

“Keueuuuuu!”

A whip of water pierced like a spear and struck the professor’s body.

Two feet in arms. Three shots in the leg. And one shot in the chest. The wound healed in an instant, but the shock killed my running speed.

“You know the topic, beast! I am a wizard of the 6th rank who has achieved the realization of the straight flow of water, the variable medium pressure, and the pressure of life! “You don’t even have the right to mix hands with me!”

The professor quickly kicked him away and kept his eyes on the whip that returned to Isaac’s side, while also looking at the floor that Isaac was stepping on. A method in which the base is made of wood without pillars and stones are interwoven from the walls. Incorporating magic to reinforce the structure is the way to raise high-rise buildings in this era.

‘Without the magic tower’s protective magic, it is a slightly unstable structure for a simple structure.’

Crack!

The professor, who arrived in front of Isaac with a tattered body, swung his clasped hands like an ax towards his body, which was tightly defended by the whip of water.

Wow!

Sigh!

The whip of water, which is swung so quickly that it almost looks like a sphere, catches the professor’s arm and makes the building tremble

.

Isaac smiled with a stiff face as he looked at the professor’s hands being torn off and flying away from the impact.

“It’s the same. You can’t hurt me with that much attack…”

“I know, dude!”

Taking advantage of the difference in height, he swung his right foot with his left foot as the axis.

Quang!

Water droplets fluttering like an explosion. The professor’s legs were blown off by the swung whip, but the force was scattered in vain across the surface of the water surrounding Isaac’s body.

‘Damn, isn’t it still far!’

Even if an attack is received, the impact does not disappear anywhere. The shock from the previous two attacks did not cause even the slightest damage to Isaac’s body and was dispersed to the surroundings by the guidance of the water surrounding his body.

To the ground he’s walking on.

Sigh!

‘Actually, I thought it would break at this point… but it’s holding up better than I thought.’

But we’re almost there. Light from the lower level was streaming in through the slightly cracked and broken wood beneath Isaac’s feet.

The professor leaned back as far as he could and made a bow, just as he was falling.

‘Head… I might be able to survive even with the mutation berserk, but… I have no choice now!’

“Crush it!”

The professor’s remaining left leg stepped on the ground, and his elastic core muscles swung his body, leaning back, toward the floor like a hammer.

Kwaaaaang!

The professor’s headbutt with all his might exploded on the floor of the 7th floor of the Magic Tower, and Isaac’s whip, which had been swinging ceaselessly, cut away the floor, and the half-sunken floor completely collapsed due to the previous two impacts.

***

Rumbling!

The floor collapsed and everyone on the 7th floor, including the magic organ that controlled the tower’s magic power, began to fall down to the floor below.

The first to react was the Rakshasha. She unraveled the thread and immediately took control of the surroundings, winding up the unconscious professor and causing him to land lightly.

The professor was lying like a corpse, completely unconscious.

‘No matter how special your constitution is… can a wound like this really heal?’

The professor’s condition was serious. Both hands and one foot fell off, the face literally became clotted with blood, the skull caved in and the inside was exposed.

Of course, there was a need to turn the situation around as quickly as possible. The most dangerous wizard is one who spent a long time preparing, and Isaac was a wizard capable of building his own battlefield while fighting.

The advantage of water-based magic is that magic is organically connected by using a medium called ‘water’, which is specific yet free in form. Just as the water produced in the hydraulic hole is connected to the ice field, and the ice field is connected to the heat absorber.

The humidity inside the 7th floor was getting higher and it was becoming difficult to move the body. If more time had been given, even such extreme measures would not have been possible.

Chiiik-

The red mist was still spewing out from the professor’s body and it was drying out. The Rakshasha wrapped his body like a cocoon with thread to protect him and then looked around.

‘This is… a laboratory?’

The place where the ceiling collapsed was quite a grotesque space. Bottles containing unknown reagents and various knives appear lined up in living specimens stored here and there. If the professor saw it, he’d say, ‘It’s made exactly the same as there!’ It was an appearance that could be described as.

Quang!

On the other side of the laboratory, the remains of a building rose into the sky along with a huge splash of water. Behind Isaac, who had a thick curtain of water covering his entire body, were his disciples and the tower’s magic source. When I counted them, it seemed like there were about two wizards who had fallen and died under the rubble.

Isaac said, returning the water curtain surrounding his body to a magic source.

“It’s standard. Once the wizard has established the environment, change the battlefield. Have you ever learned about magic warfare? No… I might have felt it emotionally. “This must be one of the queen’s masterpieces.”

Click, click, click!

Isaac’s hand quickly forms a hand sign before the Rakshasha’s attack is completed. Isaac wasn’t the only one who lost his built environment. The Rakshasha quickly unraveled the thread to disrupt the spell, but Isaac was one step faster.

“Vort Eiger’s [Heavy Rain]”

“….!”

As the spell was chanted, small water droplets protruded from the water sphere that served as the magic source behind Isaac, following Isaac’s hand gestures and moving through the laboratory like a school of living fish. Although the size was small, each drop was filled with the realization of ‘heavy pressure’. Even a small drop of water contained the power to crush and distort anything it touched.

Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

“Hmph!”

Heavy Rain was chasing the Rakshasha like a school of living fish, destroying everything it touched.

Bottles containing reagents break and emit smoke, a solid laboratory table made of metal, a bookshelf storing numerous research materials, antique lighting, and more

!

The corpses of unknown mutes. It was all swept away and exploded.

Mute’s corpse rises into the air, swept away by the overwhelming violence. Blood sprayed between the fragments, and the small blood droplets began to move towards a single point against gravity.

A small thread of Mute’s blood was pointing towards a white cocoon fixed to the ceiling.

Shuuuu –

Isaac, who was attacking the Rakshasha like he was catching a rat, and the Rakshasha who was running around the walls and ceiling, desperately spraying threads to interrupt the magic, were also looking at one corner of the laboratory at some point. The blood gushing from dozens of mute corpses in the lab was all flowing in one direction.

“What the hell is this…?”

“Hoo. Is this a new ability? okay. Considering its reputation as a talking mute, it was disappointing. After all, you don’t just die!”

Soon after, the red cocoon, which had absorbed every last drop of blood floating around the laboratory, turned white again, scattered, and spit out a seal.

“Seuuuu-haaa.”

The first breath is deep and lingering, as if a dead person who has been resurrected from the dead smells the dirt of a grave.

The professor, who looked at his dry hands and feet all over for a moment as if he didn’t understand, spoke in disbelief.

“Is this… ‘outside’?”

The professor’s eyes began to glow with the same joy as that of a criminal returning to the world after a long period of confinement.
