Episode 565: Spirit Assimilation (2)
In Spirit Assimilation, the spirit master maximizes the power of the spirit by surrounding his body with it.
In Vierano’s case, when he moves with the wind spirit wrapped around his body, he receives a tremendous speed correction, ignores air resistance, and surrounds his fists with air currents, increasing their power.
In some ways, you might wonder if a spiritist, who used to summon spirits and control them, would be able to fight a proper battle since this is the act of going to the front line and fighting.
The physical abilities of spirit masters who have achieved spirit assimilation are basically ridiculously high.
Moreover, since he could use the power of the spirit to its limit, it was safe to say that he was literally a body imitating living nature.
‘Mr. Selina that?’
In Vierano’s memories, there were only a very few spirit masters who could use spirit fairy tales.
If compared to the wizard’s hierarchy, the spirit fairy tale is almost similar to the 6th tier, the [Rexor] level.
This is impossible without considerable effort and talent.
What is more necessary is communication with spirits.
‘Spirit is a product of nature. ‘No matter how human he is, there is no way he can properly communicate with a spirit that embodies the will of nature.’
It is not because there is a lack of spirits, but because human abilities are lacking.
Can a pet dog understand and sympathize with all of its owner’s thoughts, concerns, and concerns?
Spiritists are the same.
Spirits, the embodiment of Mother Nature, were difficult to understand with human consciousness.
This was the reason why other elemental science teachers in Seorn could not do elemental assimilation.
‘no. This was impossible for most humans with short lifespans.’
Even Vierano, who was capable of assimilating spirits, had barely reached this level because he was an elf who had lived for a very long time.
However, Selina succeeded in fairy tales at such a young age.
Vierano didn’t know that Selina was a unique case.
She is not an ordinary human, but an artificial spirit, and the dark spirit that has assimilated with Selina is also not an ordinary spirit.
Both humans and spirits are imperfect.
But that is why the two imperfect people came together and transformed into a perfect being.
Selina, who had assimilated with Esmeralda, stretched out her hand.
A black sphere formed on her fingertips. The slowly launched sphere reached the increasingly narrow hole in the barrier.
“Everyone, avoid it.”
Although the warning was delivered in a low voice, everyone present could clearly hear it.
The people who were struggling with the entrance backed away without realizing it.
The instinct that I had to retreat led my body to its own devices.
The fist-sized darkness that Selina shot out reached the hole in the barrier and grew ravenously in size.
The size of the darkness expanded to a radius of about 5 meters and spun like a whirlpool.
And in the place where the darkness disappeared like a mirage, only a large, neatly opened passage remained.
“What…”
“You said it was that easy to break through?”
People gaped in disbelief at the sight Selina showed them.
Ludger was equally surprised.
Selina’s appearance assimilated with the spirit of darkness was completely identical to that of Esmeralda.
When I looked at Selina, wondering if it was possible, Selina also looked back at Ludger and their eyes met.
Selina smiled at Ludger.
Only when Ludger saw that innocent and innocent smile that could not be hidden even in this tense moment did he realize that she was still Selina.
Ludger nodded once to Selina and stared at the gaping barrier.
The barrier, which had previously tried to repair a hole in some way, was now unable to do anything.
This was because the dark power Selina used completely engulfed the space itself.
It was a barrier that bounced back against strong external forces, but the power of the dark spirit was completely different.
It neither shocked from the outside nor penetrated the inside and destroyed it from the inside.
It just swallowed up the space itself.
‘In the end, the darkness attribute magic I used was nothing more than imitating the attribute with magical power. But that’s not some kind of imitation of magical power. That is real [darkness].’
If the elemental science world saw it right now, their eyes would roll over and they would foam at the mouth.
Of course, that would be possible, assuming we get out of here safely.
The power that Selina showed was overwhelming and difficult to understand through common sense.
Whatever it was, it was a ray of light falling in despair that opened the barrier blocking my eyes.
“It’s open! “If you just widen the hole and go inside…!”
However, Seridan’s words, which he shouted from the bridge, did not end properly.
This is because something hit the aerial battleship with a thud and shook it greatly.
“What was that just?!”
It was only one creature that collided with the battleship.
Unlike other creatures, he was not an ordinary guy.
It was much stronger and much faster.
If other creatures are like crows, this one was an eagle shining in brilliant gold.
“No way…”
Franz felt that familiar energy and opened his eyes.
The golden creature shook the battleship once and widened the distance, then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
The creature with a new body but a head like that of an old, hook-nosed old man was Nirva, who died and disappeared.
“I guess I should thank the goddess! “Even though it is not in its perfect form as before, I can fight again like this!”
The speed of Nirva circling in the air was so fast that it was difficult to follow with the eye.
Nirva, shining golden among the pitch-black creatures, was so conspicuous that it was difficult to see him, but he had enough speed to make one look down on him.
Nirva’s image became blurred and a golden line was drawn in the air.
By the time I realized that this was Nirva’s trajectory and that it had pierced the battleship’s main engine, it was already too late.
Quang!
The rear part of the battleship exploded, sending debris flying everywhere.
“It’s a big deal! The main engine exploded!”
Sheridan, who was observing the situation on the bridge, screamed.
The battleship lost thrust and slowly began to tilt to one side.
The Dreamwalkers tried to hold on by infusing dreams, but now that the engine itself had died, it was nothing more than pouring water into a bottomless pit.
Moreover, it was not Nirva who would watch quietly.
“Just throw yourself down there like this! “You bugs!”
“profit! “That thing looks gross!”
Sheridan moved the remaining main gun to aim at Nirva, but Nirva moved so fast that it was difficult to aim properly.
The moment the heavy main gun aimed at Nirva, Nirva had already disappeared, leaving behind a golden trail.
The golden stalks that intricately embroidered the air like spiderwebs once again headed toward the battleship.
The direction it is heading this time is the center of the battleship.
Nirva was planning to split the battleship in half like this.
It was a simple headbutt, but the destructive power shown when destroying the engine was already more than enough.
“I’ll split it in half like this…!”
Nirva, who had been shouting proudly, stopped moving for a moment.
Nirva’s eyes never left the gloomy-looking man on the deck.
“That guy…”
Nirva could feel it.
His natural enemy who brought him the second most humiliation after Ludger in Infinite Prison.
That power was felt in that person.
If you think about it, Sedina Rochen said that.
The monster of Zevodang is just a human who can wield that power.
‘That guy…’
Although he was resurrected thanks to Noksanna, it didn’t mean he had no memories of before.
The nightmarish appearance of Gévaudan’s monster instinctively stimulated Nirva’s fear and created a momentary gap in his movements.
A bunch of black tentacles flew in between them, aiming for Nirva.
After coming to his senses, Nirva flapped his wings wide, rotated his body, and flew at a right angle that transcended the laws of physics, escaping from the black tentacle.
Selina stretched out her hand toward Nirva on the deck and fidgeted with her outstretched hand as if she was disappointed.
Nirva felt a chill come over her as she looked at Selina, even though she had the body of a bird.
Selina, who had assimilated with the spirit of darkness, felt an incredible power in a different way.
Apparently, until now, he had only defeated one of his subordinates, so he was only seen as an object of slight caution.
Between her death and resurrection, Selina became a person of interest who had to be the most careful.
The thing that led this sudden change was probably Ludger, who could be called the [Holy Grail].
Because he has the power to change fate, his very existence acts as an inflection point for those around him.
“I can’t last long! If this continues, I’m going to crash!”
People who realized the seriousness of the situation at Brino’s shout turned to the open gap in the barrier.
“Everybody run!”
“It’s now or never!”
Nirva, seeing the people trying to move in a hurry, distorted his face grotesquely.
Nirva, with the body of a bird and the face of an old man, gave orders to the creatures while letting out an evil scream.
“What are you doing if you’re not stopping those bastards! good! Go and protect the divine power of the goddess! “Throw away your miserable life!”
Rumbling.
As the creatures gathered together and moved, a sound like dark clouds filled with lightning came out.
Because of the time Nirva gained by destroying the engine, the creatures began to cling to the battleship and eat its exterior.
It was the moment when the battleship, which had barely held on, completely tilted and fell.
The deck of the battleship, which could not fully bear the load, broke and broke into pieces with a crackling sound.
The people on top of it were also caught up in it.
“no!”
Selina spread her bundle of black tentacles like a spider’s web and barely managed to hold the battleship back when it was about to collapse.
However, the dark power she wielded was to absorb and destroy the opponent, but did not have the power to repair something broken like this.
“I can’t last long!”
“Selina! “I’ll help too!”
Merilda stepped forward and threw reagents in all directions.
The exploding reagent seeped into the cracks in the deck and became sticky.
“I will help too!”
Brino also made armor plates and continued to add them to the battleship.
“Tch. “There will be no end to this.”
Chris Benimore also clicked his tongue and materialized his magic tree and began tying up the battleship with a bunch of the plant’s stems.
One by one, Seorn’s teachers worked hard to protect the battleship.
The creatures bared their teeth and rushed towards the teachers.
Bubble bubbling!
As a pink flash passed through the creatures, countless spherical explosions occurred and decorated the air like starlight.
Elisha, flowing with magical power, spoke.
“We can’t go to all of them. “Someone has to stay here and protect the people.”
Elisa’s gaze turned to Ludger.
Ludger realized what Elisa was trying to say with her eyes and nodded.
I will trust you and leave it to you.
Ludger ran toward the entrance of the barrier to meet those expectations.
“Owens!”
All Owens members responded to Ludger’s call.
Alex and Pantos followed next to him, as did Violetta and Arpa Hans.
The same was true for Sheridan, who jumped off the bridge, and Bella Luna, who was looking vaguely at Chris Benimore through the mask in a corner.
Ludger and Owens jumped into the barrier, followed by Franz.
“no!”
The Dreamwalkers immediately tried to follow, but had no choice but to stop due to the golden creature crashing down on the deck.
“We can’t let any more in!”
The expressions on the Dreamwalkers’ faces turned cold as they saw Nirva with life dripping from her eyes.
“okay. “We already have a lot to repay you.”
“It’s better. “I felt uncomfortable just ignoring it like this.”
To the Dreamwalkers, Nirva was the most hated enemy.
Not only did he kill many of his colleagues who were like family, but because of Nirva, Master and Zantman had to sacrifice their lives.
Nirva was annoyed by the Dreamwalkers who, like Nirva, were not scared of him.
“How dare those who couldn’t even fight against me, who was perfect, use their mouths carelessly?”
“That was before this. “Maybe we can do something now?”
“Just because I turned into a bird, did my head also turn into a bird’s head? It won’t work. “Guys, let’s kill a chicken today.”
“Let’s boil it!”
“I like fried food!”
Nirva’s face turned red at the giggling provocation.
“good night! “I’ll show you that even in this condition, I can rip you all to pieces!”
* * *
Ludger, who came through the barrier, was surprised that he could step on the floor.
I didn’t notice it from the outside, but once inside, a completely different world unfolded.
A dry world filled with pure white octagonal tiles.
There was a black bell in the center.
[Nursery Rhyme]
If you destroy that, everything will end.
“Now is the time for me to…”
Ludger stopped Franz with his hand as he tried to step forward with a dagger in his hand.
“You come forward later. “I need to conserve that power right now.”
“…okay. “I didn’t think it would be easy either.”
The magic [Nurse Lime] recognized the presence of an intruder within its territory.
Although it is a tool, reason and instinct exist.
That is why it is an object handled by the gods.
The power emanating from [Nurse Lime] became a huge mental wave and attacked Ludger and the others.
It didn’t stop there, but it was trying to create a barrier again by splashing black sparks around the area.
I had to destroy it with overwhelming firepower before it was completed.
“Sheridan.”
At this moment, Ludger said a completely unexpected name.
At a time when everyone was puzzled, Sheridan walked forward, smiling confidently.
“Are you ready?”
“Actually, I’ve been itching to use this since I was flying a battleship.”
“okay. i get it.”
Ludger looked back and said to Owens and Franz.
“Everyone, step back. If you don’t want to get caught up.”
