Episode 612: God of Mechanical Devices (2)
A huge amount of debris floating in the air.
The debris, which had been accelerated by the power of the God of Mechanical Devices, was comparable to a meteorite.
Although it was weaker than the metallic magic magic [Tianfeng Cloud Gold Jade], it was much more numerous than it.
If asked which had greater power, Ludger could definitely say that it was this attack.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Huge masses fell to the ground, raising cloudy plumes of dust.
It continued to happen in a wide area within a radius of several hundred meters.
It is so powerful that it goes beyond this place and causes the entire island to shake violently.
Even if he was a master-level knight, if he had been at the scene of this bombing, he would have disappeared without leaving a trace of blood.
But it didn’t work on Ludger.
Ludger, who had a shadow all over his body, wrapped it around his body like a cocoon and spun it around at high speed.
The shadow containing the energy of space swept all the flying debris aside the moment it touched it.
How heavy is the mass?
How fast is it?
How vast is the kinetic energy contained within it.
The power to bend everything regardless of its size.
However, because it was specialized only for defense and its performance was excellent, the amount of magic it consumed was also large, so it could not maintain this state for long.
Ludger went through many things and his magical power increased tremendously, but it was obvious that if the direct cause was not eliminated, this situation would continue and it would become a war of attrition.
“Hahaha! “Where are you looking?”
Whiron, who was wrestling with the mechanical arm, burst into laughter and strengthened his muscles.
The originally huge muscles were pumped to their maximum and the mechanical arm was thrown aside.
The moment Hwiron threw out his fist, aiming for an opening, the eyes of the God of Mechanical Devices flashed again.
Hyron’s fist was unable to reach the god of mechanical devices and was thrown back. Huiron’s large body also flew away like a pebble and landed on the rubble.
Coo!
A cloud of dust arose and debris flew in all directions.
Ludger stared at the scene from the shadows.
‘It’s that attack again.’
The moment the eye light inside the visor helmet flashes, a strong repulsive force is generated, sending the opponent flying away.
There was no warning and the speed was so fast that it was difficult to react.
Moreover, if I didn’t close the distance to keep it in check, I had no choice but to become its prey.
The moment I was wondering if it was a good idea, Loteron came forward.
Sharp nails grew from both wide open arms.
The teeth became longer than usual and the iris of the eye was torn vertically.
A change in the body of the beastmen that occurs when they enter battle.
In addition, his body was wrapped with the soul of an ancient hero, and another soul was rushing towards the God of Mechanical Devices from the other side.
This time it was a hero wearing a helmet and costume full of feathers and holding a long spear.
The god of machinery stared at Loteron as attacks came from both sides.
The moment his eyes flashed, Loteron’s body flew backwards.
Immediately after that, the spear fired by the hero’s soul pierced the shoulder of the mechanical god.
Kwasik!
Originally, the attack was aimed at the head, but the force field above the body caused the attack to bend to the side.
Kagagagak.
The spear scratched the shoulder armor and created sparks as it passed.
The God of Mechanical Devices immediately looked back at the soul and his eyes flashed again.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A soul that cannot withstand the force applied and scatters.
But Ludger wasn’t surprised by that.
‘I couldn’t react for a moment.’
The power to push away the entity facing it was great, but the conditions for activation clearly existed.
Something you have to see with your own eyes.
I was helpless against attacks coming from both sides at the same time.
But can you call that a weakness?
It was possible to attack from multiple directions at the same time, but someone had no choice but to face those eyes.
“Just attack from a place you can’t see and that’s it!”
Huron also had the same thoughts as Ludger.
Hwiron, who had been pinned to the ground, soared into the air at a faster rate than when he fell and rushed towards the God of Mechanical Devices.
The head of the mechanical god turned to Hwiron.
At that moment, Ludger stepped forward.
[Dreams of the Fools]
The darkness that arose around them came between the God of Mechanical Devices and Whiron, blocking their view.
Flash!
The moment the eye light shined, the dark magic dissipated and was torn to pieces, and the debris floating around was also pushed into pieces by the force.
But Hwiron was not there.
The God of Mechanical Devices, who was turning his head to look for Hwiron, had no choice but to lower his head due to the dull impact he felt above his head.
Oh dear!
It was the result of Hwiron clasping his hands together and hitting the top of his head like a hammer.
A loud sound rang out widely, as if a huge bell had been rung.
However, the god of machinery quickly raised his bowed head.
“this.”
Hwiron, who had not expected to recover so quickly, was unable to react.
Just as the light inside the helmet was about to flash, something flew at his temple and turned his head to the side.
Flash!
Head turned back. Changed vision. And the flashing eyes.
Wow!!!
A huge explosion occurred in an empty lot that was already in ruins.
The explosion soared high into the sky and formed a pillar of light.
“Don’t stop, keep moving!”
It was Loteron who saved Hwiron.
At a last-minute moment, he kicked the mechanical god’s head and changed his perspective.
Loteron’s body was also not normal.
In just one attack, all the protective artifacts on his body disappeared, and his clothes were torn and full of wounds.
This was the result even though he had strengthened his body with spirit and surrounded his body with a magic barrier.
Hyron and Loteron moved quickly and engaged in close combat with the God of Mechanical Devices nearby.
The intention is to strike and run away with a quick attack from a place that is out of sight.
However, the God of Mechanical Devices had no intention of just watching the antics of humans.
Kiiiiing.
Two of the four mechanical arms tried to grab Huiron and Loteron.
Huiron and Loteron gritted their teeth, thinking that it would be the end if they were caught by that thing.
At that time, a black dot formed in the air, expanded, and Ludger appeared.
Ludger fell straight towards the god of machinery and struck the top of his head with the spear of fire in his hand.
Kwazizig!
The fire spear containing enormous magical power succeeded in piercing the force field of the God of Mechanical Devices, but was unable to completely pierce the hard armor.
Ludger exploded the magic power he applied to his sword.
The hot heat spread and heated the body of the mechanical god.
No matter how strong the armor, the heat can’t be helped. The reddish-hot god of mechanical devices.
But the guy moved fine even in that state.
The moment the remaining two mechanical arms tried to grab Ludger, Ludger activated another magic.
The spear of fire disappears and what is in your empty hand is a greatsword of ice.
Ludger swung his weapon again at the God of Mechanical Devices.
Damn it!
The hot-tempered world of mechanical devices cooled down quickly.
The armor, which had expanded due to the heat, quickly contracted as it cooled.
Damn. Take a look.
Little by little, cracks began to appear in the strong armor.
In addition, sharp ice dug into the joints of the armor, restricting its movement.
‘Just stay like this a little longer.’
Ludger was about to strike an additional blow, but his eyes widened the moment he saw a shimmering light in front of him.
A golden halo worn by the God of Mechanical Devices.
It burned hot like a flame and one more layer was formed.
Quaching!
The ice and frost covering his entire body shattered like glass, turning into powder and scattering in the wake of the halo being created.
At the same time, he even pushed away the [Ather Nocturnus] wrapped around Ludger’s body.
‘Divine power!’
Even if it is a created god, a relic exists at its origin.
Relics are objects created by God. Naturally, the object contained the power of a god and could be manifested in the form of divine power.
A mechanical arm grabbed Ludger’s body, which was unable to withstand the force and was pushed back.
“teacher!”
“Mr Ludger!”
Huiron and Loteron rushed in to save Ludger, but they were so distracted that they did not notice the mechanical arm coming from a blind spot.
Loteron was also caught before he had time to escape, and Huiron tried to hold on by holding on to the fingers of the mechanical arm with both arms.
“Ugh! “This isn’t even a morning workout distance!”
The god of machinery gazed at Hwiron.
The eye light did not shine. Instead, the remaining mechanical arm additionally grabbed Hwiron.
No matter how well he held on until the first one, he was helpless in the second.
The God of Mechanical Devices looked at Hwiron, who was grasping it with both hands, then raised both arms and struck him on the ground.
Quaaaang!
A huge explosion occurred and shock waves spread in concentric circles.
The air became distorted and an ear-piercing noise spread throughout the island.
The two mechanical arms collided moments ago, creating a huge crater on the ground.
White steam and groundwater flowed from the pipes of the broken underground water canal.
The god of mechanical devices did not stop there.
Quang!
once.
Quang!
twice.
Quang!
The mechanical arm holding Hwiron continued to pound Hwiron to the ground.
Hwiron fell, sprawled out on the floor like a frog.
The mechanical arm that let go of Hwiron clenched its fist and fell like a hammer towards Hwiron.
Kwaaaaang!
A spiderweb-like crack appeared on top of the crater.
White steam was billowing out through the cracks and gas was leaking.
Puzzle!
The electric current from the broken wire came into contact with the gas and ignited a huge explosion.
Bright red flames filled the crater and bloomed like flowers.
* * *
Gariel hid in the laboratory.
Ludger and Hwiron had snuck in from outside, aiming for a gap that would attract attention.
‘Since we created an experiment using cells from the World Tree, of course the materials and reagents will remain.’
Gariel scanned the labyrinth-like complex.
‘found.’
Gariel finally found the door leading into the laboratory and quickly checked it with her hand.
A door so strong that it is impossible to open with force.
As it is an important place, security will be thorough.
‘Magical security device. The door will not open without an authorized security key.’
There must be only a very small number of people in this laboratory who have that authentication key.
But Gariel was not embarrassed.
‘It was a good idea to pack it away just in case.’
Perhaps because of the news that Ludger was coming, the people in the laboratory were quickly evacuating.
Gariel searched the chest of the researcher who seemed to have the highest rank among the evacuees and stole everything inside.
Of course, there was also a security key in there.
After canceling the time stop, Gariel took the security key and opened the door.
I was nervous about what would happen if it wouldn’t open, but fortunately the security key worked normally.
Gariel looked inside through the open door and frowned.
I came only to find reagents, but the inside was full of traces of all kinds of biological experiments.
Inside the large glass tube were test subjects in which cells from the World Tree were multiplied and applied to humans.
Many limbs sprouted, the body was horribly distorted, or it turned into a tree.
There were a lot of failed products, and each had a serial number written underneath it.
As the number of test subjects increased, the traces of failure decreased and they gradually took on a human form.
‘This is not the time.’
Gariel took his attention away from the test subject and went deeper.
There were many reagents and materials in the laboratory that I had not been able to organize because I was in a hurry to escape.
‘there is!’
Gariel, who was about to touch the object she had finally found, stopped and her hands trembled.
Gariel looked around, just in case.
Clearly, he had stopped time and sneaked in secretly.
I was confident that no one would find out. Because in frozen time, only you could move.
But strangely, it didn’t feel good.
Especially in a tense situation like now, it’s even harder for things to go smoothly.
Gariel immediately unleashed her magic power.
I planned to stop time and look around carefully before organizing it.
Gariel stopped time and returned the way she came.
Gariel discovered that the door she had opened was closed.
“When? “I never closed the door.”
Could it be that someone came inside?
Gariel searched the inside of the laboratory. But there were no traces of people.
‘The door was closed remotely from the outside.’
Gariel tried to open the door, but gave up when she realized it wouldn’t budge.
Gariel knew that it would be useless to stay here like this, so she lifted the time stop.
“hmm. “Did you stop time in the meantime and look for a way to escape, but couldn’t get out in the end?”
A relaxed voice came from beyond the door.
Gariel took a deep breath. The opponent knows that he can stop time.
“Who are you?”
“Who am I? Rather, I would like to ask. “Did you sneak into my lab without knowing who I was?”
“Could it be Nikolai?”
“oh. “You’re not stupid enough to bother introducing yourself.”
Gariel bit her lip.
Why is he here? What happened to Ludger?
At that time, I felt a shock wave and a vibration from afar.
It was such a huge shock that the secret laboratory, reminiscent of a bomb shelter, shook violently.
“I’m sure the guys outside have been sorted out by now.”
From Nikolai’s words, Gariel realized that the situation was going strangely.
