< Iron-Blooded Woman (3) >
“Right!”
Sang-woo had a glimmer of hope as he watched the spear of fire hit the mist directly.
But Elizabeth, she did not die.
A mist of blood that had been left somewhere slowly rose and gathered in the air.
Saua Ah-
But she was not fine.
It had lost its original beauty.
Because the entire left upper body was distorted by burns and looked terrible.
The sound of blood oozing from her throat was heard.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..”
She lifted her contorted face and looked at her burnt body.
“My skin… my skin…!!! These fucking bastards! I will kill you!!!”
Immediately after, her rage exploded.
Her scattered hair was caught in a surge of energy and fluttered like crazy.
[Vampire Aura]
Then, her body was enveloped in a dark red aura
[Blood Claw]
Ten nails stretched out like swords.
At the same
time [Blood Explosion],
the bodies of Kanus guild members were bursting with blood.
And the clones’ bodies began to boil.
Sang-woo was the same.
‘Kheuheo-eok! Even though I have magic resistance, this much…?’
All members of the Kanus guild are dead, and now only Sang-woo and his alter ego are left.
[Blood drain]
At the same time, the blood of the Kanus guild members burst out and headed for Erzebet.
She starts to recover quickly again.
Sangwoo hardened his complexion.
‘No, you can even recover from Diltan? it’s so deceitful How do I win this?’
He himself became a DLT tank and even had an incredible regenerative power, but Sangwoo didn’t think of himself.
While grumbling, he moved his alter egos around to get out of the range of Blood Explosion.
But this time, his body heated up like crazy, as if he didn’t need to aim.
‘Ugh… It’s so painful…’
Maybe it’s because the blood is boiling.
Elizabeth jumped at the clones, whose movements were a bit dull.
It was a reckless move, unlike the appearance he had been avoiding until now.
Then her fingernails were driven down.
Kaga-ga-gak- Despite being a diamond, Elizabeth’s claws cut through the bodies of the alter egos.
Contrary to his slender body, he has tremendous strength.
At the same time, the blood spurted from the alter ego’s body was absorbed into Elizabeth’s dark red aura.
She accepts the absorbed power and recovers.
However, the physical resistance of Geumgang Bulgogi was amazing.
Because Elizabeth’s fingernails, which had managed to cut off the hard and thick leather, were stuck in the alter ego’s body.
The nails were stuck in the clone’s body and couldn’t move.
In an instant, Elizabeth was captured by her alter ego.
She was a little taken aback.
‘It’s a fake. bitch.’
Sangwoo’s eyes lit up.
As Elizabeth approached, the clones, who had been a bit dull, received Sang-woo’s order and instead counterattacked Elizabeth as if nothing had happened to the boiling pain.
The left arm, which was almost recovered by Er Zebet, was cut by
Orablade
.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
She loses her arm and steps back.
Her face turned ugly.
“Damn prey dare to tease me! Come on, I’ll put an end to it!”
With those words, Elizabeth stretched her hands out toward the floor where Sang-woo was.
[Iron Maiden]
At the same time, the empty floor began to sway like a wave.
Then, a huge iron coffin rose from the floor.
The iron coffin was 10m high and consisted of a lid and a coffin. Even though it was made of iron, the dark red blood stains around it looked very ominous.
Then the coffin and coffin lid appeared and locked Sang-woo like a flytrap.
The speed at which this coffin was summoned and attacked was so instant that Sang-woo could not escape.
‘what!’
It was dark inside the coffin.
[Fire]
I tried to light a flame using the fire skill, a basic magic skill.
Pasik-
But the flames briefly bounced off, emitting only smoke, and then faded.
‘Oh no way.’
Sang-woo kept repeating the fire skill.
However, it was the same.
Inside, magic skills were not working properly.
[Sub-space]
I tried to use the sub-space skill to get out, but it seemed like a crack in the space was occurring, but it was scattered in an instant.
‘shit. A space where magic doesn’t work.’
A tremendous dispel effect seemed to settle inside Iron Maiden.
Sang-woo raised the Aura Blade on his sword.
Wiiying-
Fortunately, the green aura spread to the sword and the Aura Blade worked normally. He used the Aura Blade’s light to look everywhere.
The inside of the visible coffin was filled with countless needle-like thorns.
‘Iron Maiden…?’
Suddenly, I remembered a tool of torture in history that I had seen on the Internet.
Iron Maiden.
As a torture instrument of medieval Europe, thorns were tightly embedded in the coffin.
Therefore, it was a terrible torture tool that gave the prisoner trapped inside a sense of fear that they would be stabbed by thorns before closing the coffin lid, and made them stabbed by the thorns when the coffin was closed, causing them to slowly bleed and die in agony.
‘I don’t want to die from being stabbed by that thorn.’
Sang-woo went straight to the sword and put the blade on it and poked the inside of the coffin.
Kkwagwang-! Kkwagwang-!
Kaga-Ga-Gang-!
The thorns that hit the Aura Blade ignited sparks and partly broke off.
But it didn’t cut well.
Considering the cutting power of the Aura Blade, it has tremendous strength.
Besides, there were still many thorns left, numbering in the thousands.
‘I can’t give up though.’
However, Sang-woo did not give up and continued to swing his sword.
[Whirlwind strike]
Sang-woo’s body whirled around like a pinwheel.
At the same time, the swords of the wind blowing in all directions.
Caga caga caga-!
But it didn’t matter.
And the thorns inside Iron Maiden were slowly regenerating.
Sang-woo instinctively realized that it would be impossible to get rid of all the thorns before Iron Maiden completely shrunk.
‘There’s no way to break it. Will Blink work?’
Sang-woo lightly skipped between the thorns with his windwalk and approached the Iron Maiden’s wall.
Currently, Blink’s range is about 4-5m.
If I tried Blink over the wall, I might be able to get over it.
‘Please be.’
Sang-woo tried Blink right away.
[Blink]
But as expected, the magic skill didn’t activate.
Instead, there was a faint sound of clones beating Iron Maiden from outside.
Kagang-
kagang-
bang!
The alter egos were desperately destroying Iron Maiden to save Sang-woo while dealing with Elizabeth.
However, when seen through the eyes of the alter egos connected by the Overmind, there was nothing wrong with Iron Maiden.
‘Damn it…’
There was hope that he wouldn’t get hurt because there was a diamond, but it was difficult to be sure when he saw the strength of the thorns and the speed of pressure.
So, for now, there was only one way left.
Breaking all the thorns with the sword.
So Sang-woo swung his sword without giving up.
And the alter egos outside also kept Elizabeth in check and knocked on the Iron Maiden. “no use! Captivate meekly!”
As if she had a premonition of victory, Elizabeth waited for Iron Maiden to fully contract while dealing with the alter egos with a relaxed attitude.
And how much time has passed
Finally, the giant Iron Maiden, which was over 10m tall, shrank into a human form.
At the same time, alter egos that stand still.
Seeing this, Elizabeth’s eyes lit up.
“Ho-ho-ho! After all, I won.”
The entrance to Odin’s Tower where silence flows.
It hadn’t even been a few minutes since the fierce battle had taken place, but the place like outer space was full of corpses and the smell of blood.
Satisfying the smell of blood, Elizabeth moved toward her alter ego.
An alter ego standing with an expressionless face.
The sad eyes and muscular body were wrapped in a power suit, boasting model-like proportions.
In particular, the white and immaculate skin brought about by youth was dazzling.
Seeing that, Elizabeth’s eyes filled with envy.
“Your skin looks better than mine. Be cheeky.”
She hacked the face of her alter ego with her fingernails.
The blood-stained face of the alter ego.
However, her face must have been quite hard, even with Elizabeth’s strong muscles, she couldn’t completely destroy it.
Still, only then did Elizabeth withdraw her hand, as if her temper had eased a bit.
“Hmmm, I’m feeling a little relieved. Now, let’s finish the work.”
Her mission was to bring Jeong Sang-woo, who bears the symbol of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The goal was capture alive, but if it was difficult, it was possible to shoot.
However, using Iron Maiden, she succeeded in capturing her cleanly.
Being stabbed by Iron Maiden doesn’t kill you right away.
You can just keep them in a state of powerlessness with pain for a long time.
From her point of view, it is the perfect tool for capture.
“Shall we go?”
As she put her hand down, Iron Maiden slid into the rippling floor.
At the same time, Elizabeth transformed into a bat.
The group of bats dispersed and flew away with great speed.
A space where only the alter egos were left with the corpses.
Suddenly, one of the clones looked around and moved. A
sub-
space that opens into the air.
At the same time, a person came out of the subspace.
“What the fuck!”
Curly brown hair and a wild beard.
Half-opened eyes on a stretched-out T-shirt.
It was Bless, a man who could hardly be seen as a hunter.
Suddenly appearing at the entrance to Odin’s tower, he hardened his complexion.
“This is a complete mess.”
However, contrary to words, he was already moving.
Because time is life.
Golden holy power emanating from his hand.
At the same time, the clones that had been still moved around and gathered the corpses in front of Bless.
The man, who had been decapitated by Elizabeth’s gesture, was placed in front of Bless, with his neck and torso aligned.
right after they got together.
[Seongcheonpo]
In a cloudless outer space-like space, a group of lights suddenly began to stand high in the air. Then, a pillar of light slammed down on the floor where the corpses lay.
Shooting ah ah ah ah-
Then the blood was sucked and the lively body began to return to the body of people who were wrong.
And Kanus Guild member, whose neck had been torn off, also recovered and began to return to life.
Even after recovering to the point where there was no problem in appearance, the stems of golden holy power for a while wrapped around the fallen Kenus Guild members.
“It’s hard after that.”
Bless stopped Seongcheonpo.
then after a while
The Kenus guild members who had died began to open their eyes.
“Umm… Where is this…”
“Heo Eok! Huh! I must have died.”
A frightened man groping his neck.
Seeing him like that, the surrounding Kenus Guild members came to their senses and rushed at him.
“Hyunwoo!”
“You are alive!”
The Kenus guild members embraced him and sobbed.
Clone No. 7 nodded as he saw it.
“Hugh Golden Time is finally over.”
Having had a touching reunion (?) for a while, they soon turned their heads to Sang-woo and Bless.
“As expected, it was Bless.”
“Mr. Bless, you saved us.”
“thank you!”
The members of the Kanus Guild suddenly bow down and bow to Bless.
Tears and mucus were pouring out in one go at the joy of being alive.
Bless said a word as if he was familiar with Shinpa, as if he was annoyed.
“Hey, thank him more than me. Because he brought me.”
Bless pointed to alter ego #7.
At those words, the Kanus guild members bowed while looking at alter ego #7.
“thank you. Mr. Sang-woo!”
“Thanks to you, I live.”
“Haha no. Actually, no matter who I brought, if it wasn’t for Mr. Bless, I wouldn’t have been able to save everyone. Thank you Mr. Bless.”
The alter ego No. 7 spoke like Sang-woo and turned the ball to Bless.
Seeing such an alter ego, Bless was annoyed.
“by the way. Hey Jeongwoo. What’s the point of putting people in a subspace? Really, if it wasn’t for me risking a person’s life…” “
Haha, you said last time that Mr. Bless could be saved as soon as he died. I thought of those words and found Mr. Bless, but as you know, the situation is very urgent… I will check with the Kanus Guild for the cost of treatment and pay generously, so don’t be too sad.”
“I will wait and see.”
“Yes yes. Shall I send you to Seoul?”
“Let’s take a look at what you’ve come to. But what’s going on here?”
“Ah, that’s actually…”
Alter Ego 7 replied with a casual smile.
Apparently, Sang-woo was captured by Elizabeth while trapped in Iron Maiden.
But the alter ego didn’t seem to mind.
How did this happen?
* * * Meanwhile at that time.
An indoor gym in Seoul.
Alter No. 4, no, Sang-woo, was sitting on the floor with Raven.
He seemed to be extremely focused with his eyes closed.
On the outside, it looked like he was training a mana engine.
after a while like that.
“Whoa-!”
Sangwoo let out a deep breath and opened his eyes.
Raven, who had been watching him quietly, asked Sang-woo.
– Disciple, how did it go?
“Success. I took the bait in the Vatican.”
-Right. Good thing.
“yes. But the real Erzebeth is insanely strong. All the members of the Kanus Guild died, so during the fight I moved my alter ego and went to visit Bless.
-What is kissing?
“Oh, that means my head hurts.”
-I see.
Yes.
In fact, Sang-woo, who went to the Tower of Odin, was not Sang-woo.
He was just an alter ego that moved like Sang-woo, connected through an overmind.
‘The smoke screen operation was successful.’
In fact, the clue to this smoke screen operation was after Sang-woo accidentally realized that he could move through sub-space.
As he let his alter ego in through the subspace and, on the contrary, Sangwoo himself moved to another place through the subspace opened by the alter ego, Sangwoo had fun exchanging his location with the alter ego.
Then, an idea came to me out of nowhere.
‘How about replacing me with an alter ego?’
