Chapter.9 Star Fall (8)
****
Kwaaaaak!
“Wow! “I almost fell!”
The professor held onto the black spear that flew from a blind spot for a moment and wiped away his cold heart.
Contrary to his feelings, the situation was not very good.
It was clearly different from other low-level entities and although it was fun to blast, there were almost no effective hits. At best, it flew like a cannonball, hit the castle wall, and toppled wooden buildings like dominoes. The level of durability was different from the guys I fought before.
‘I think it would be much more efficient to just use my right hand for defense and seize the opportunity to catch them one by one and break their backs…’
I’m crying!
“K…Ugh! I feel bad! This has horrible side effects! “I can’t control my emotions!!!”
As soon as the blood flowed from his forearm, the reason raised by the sense of crisis was buried again by a huge impulse, and the joy of battle consumed his mind.
The principle of Blood Armor was simpler than expected.
Dissipate the shock using ‘rebound’.
In the battle when the warlock became a demon lich, the professor used a magic called floating water created by Ottman.
When I thought about it after the battle, something physically made no sense. As his muscle mass steadily increased, his body, now approaching 250 to 300 kg, was thrown off at such a high speed, and he had no memory of his legs being shattered or his body receiving any shock.
‘After I asked Hyde to play the memories of that day and analyzed them, it became clearer. When I bounced off my body, the water disk exploded in the opposite direction that it bounced me off. This means that you can change the direction of the shock delivered through action and reaction rather than simply deflecting it!’
That’s how Blood Armor was created.
Whoops!
“Kwauuuuu!”
A red gauntlet was stuck on the side of the Grade 4 Mute, which was spewing fire from its mouth, and something that could be lava or blood burst out from its mouth.
A small wave-like vibration flows from the fingertips up the arm to the elbow as the fist pushes against the side of the man who has been bent at an angle, and boom
!
The moment it reached the end of the gauntlet, the entire back part exploded, spewing out a storm of blood down the back of the arm.
In my opinion, it is a perfect magic for both offense and defense, as it pushes the shock received by the armor to the other side and explodes, scattering all of the shock into the air.
The arm, which spewed blood backwards every time it was swung, was reminiscent of a rocket powered by red propellant.
The problem is to reform the burst gauntlet again using the blood from my wound…
‘I thought I could just fill it with something like Mute’s blood, but since this is magic, it can’t be done without my blood!’
Even without going berserk, the blood could be removed just with regenerative power. When I attack or defend, the blood armor explodes and my blood is sucked out. The body, steeped in infectious agents, instinctively absorbs Mute’s blood, a material that helps in regeneration. It is consumed again and absorbs Mute’s blood.
As this strange hemodialysis is repeated, the head goes back and forth between anemia and high blood pressure, and when the infectious agent is anemic, it regenerates, causing pain by squeezing the capillaries of the entire body. When the blood pressure rises, the infectious agent overflows, so it runs wild trying to hit the head. You will not be able to maintain your rationality properly. It could be said that the whole body is pumping as if it were a heart.
“Feel! “I can’t stop feeling uplifted!”
Throw in!
The overwhelming sense of elation that comes from the sensation of your body going back and forth between heaven and hell. And then there’s Mute’s claws grazing the tip of his nose. The tension brought out by that fishy scent of poison. The thrill you feel when you punch that guy in the face! A sense of liberation! That strange feeling somewhere between pain and pleasure had blown away all of his usual cool-headed reason and judgment and turned him into a happy berserker!
Quang! Quang! Quack! simplicity and honesty! Clap!
As Mute’s head, which looked like a mix between an insect and a human, dug into the ground, blood spurted from its right arm to the extent that the entire surroundings looked bright red, and its body began to beat even more as the blood spurted out.
My reason was blown away, but thanks to this, my senses became as sharp as an animal.
I felt a sense of anticipation that was on a different level from the mutes who rushed at the sensation. It cuts while stabbing. Attack from an angle that leaves no room for evasion.
Sigh!
The black cross spear that cut into the large Mute that I had thrown in two, flew towards me without losing its momentum even after cutting through the high-ranking Mute’s solid body.
Kwagak!
“Oh, I guess you didn’t like the show? “Why aren’t you still watching?”
“betrayer! Even if everything in the world changes! “You can’t do that!”
Kaang!
Mute, who was just watching from afar and had something strange on his head, ran towards the professor.
Kwagak! Kagagak!
“I wonder if it’s because the software is different!”
Other class 3 mutes of the same species also had unusual spear skills, but this guy was truly something. That class 3 mute, Chevalier, seemed to be able to fly in the air, so it took out its wings and pierced its spear from all kinds of angles, and although its power itself was overwhelmingly higher, it couldn’t be easily shaken off. I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…
“….Edeorna?”
“I remember! That’s right! Your spear skills aren’t something you can easily forget after seeing them! It’s a little vague, but I learned it!”
The black cross spear that once deflected the professor’s arm came at me fiercely.
“You were my mirror and idol! Living proof that even with this miserable body, you can wield a stronger being and change the world! you are!”
Sigh!
“You shouldn’t appear in front of me like this!”
“Ugh!”
In the blink of an eye, countless attacks took place and the professor, who had difficulty dealing with the other mutes approaching from behind, ended up taking a sharp step back with a shallow cut to the chest.
‘The manipulator is not an ordinary man. Perhaps because he had adapted to vocal cords that were not his own, he quickly became able to hear his slurred speech. Was there a named who controlled his allies?’
The information obtained through the workshop poured into my head. It was the same as usual, but it was a bit unfamiliar.
‘hmm? My head suddenly became clearer? Could it be that reason came back because of the crisis? It’s not? At least he is that guy?’
Even though the attack was allowed, I only got slightly cut while paying attention to the guy who threw the entire carriage from behind. A wound that will disappear without a trace in a matter of seconds. I don’t sense any other threats like poison?
Boom! Boom! Thump. Boom –
The rhythmic pumping sound throughout my body began to subside as if it were a lie. The magic is fading.
Falcatus, who had taken out his wings and was floating in the sky, said with a sneer to the professor who was looking at the Blood Armor that was gradually losing its luster.
“Did you really think I was just watching, Dad? Watching our troops suffer losses? Have you become so dull that you don’t even know that much?”
flutter flutter.
From the sky, where my attack could not reach, Falcatus tapped his right arm with his spear.
“I can’t believe that the power you chose to give up and abandon your intelligence to stop your sister’s hunting is only that much. Magic. Even though the principle has not yet been discovered, it is the most powerful force of humans. There’s no reason not to be prepared.”
Crackle!
Falcatus pulled something out of the spear of the Class 3 Mute he was controlling and threw it at the professor’s feet.
A small piece of jewel. Glowing purple….
“Ball…. hearthstone?”
“Yes! This is what I learned from you! It’s the only way to fight against magic for those of us who haven’t yet entered the field of magic! I learned the method you showed me at the Magic Tower and made it our own! Magic is, after all, a raw material called mana. “Without it, you cannot have substance! With this simple knowledge, your meager power has been blocked! Look! There are many substitutes for physical strength! This attack that you so easily blocked!”
“
It’s like we’re unstoppable now!”
“Ugh!”
A cross spear became one with the spear and struck like a flash. It was not something I could block as I had lost my means of defense. I managed to avoid the vital point, but I had no choice but to give up the right arm that the guy was aiming for in the first place.
A patter.
The severed right arm was bleeding in the air. It fell to the floor, scattering.
No matter how perfectly the image was alive, the blood armor without the raw material called mana was nothing more than a crust of blood. The blood armor crumbled and fell along with the severed right arm.
“Damn. I still don’t have enough mana. “Only the right arm was activated in a limited way, but it is a weapon of a magic stone… I wonder if it is someone’s family’s child, and that head is a bit weird.”
“Unlike you, who gave up, I pursued learning endlessly. Stop… die. I will remember you as the father in Turan.”
Falcatus stared at the professor, shaking his head as if he were shaking off the last of his lingering regrets. His father was staring into space, motionless, as if he had given up or was thinking.
Ouch!
All of a sudden, the sound of clapping was heard from over there.
“ “If you were a father in Turan… That’s what you were then! Why didn’t you know this? My blood that Edeorna took!”
As if he realized something, he pounded his palm with his fist and said,
“I couldn’t believe it, but you actually chose Mute as my characteristic! Looking at you talking, you really are called ‘Speaking Mute’! Wow, you must have had a really hard time too! Glass body, mental breakdown, that’s not something anyone can handle!”
‘Do you have hands? When? I’m sure you cut them off?’
The atmosphere changed. He
hurriedly looked down and saw that the severed arm had fallen. It felt like it was caught on the tip of a spear, and he clearly saw the arm flying in the air with his own eyes! He had clearly cut it off! What was down there and what was that arm that was still intact? What do you mean?
‘There is no substance…an illusion! But even as a wizard, there were other means!’
Falcatus smiled bitterly and tightened his grip on the spear again.
“…Illusion magic. Is this bluffing? That’s right, you only use your brain after you lose all your strength! It would have been better if you had done it right away!”
Ah!
The wings of the third-class mute he was controlling fluttered, and once again the spear dropped his right arm. No matter how realistic the illusion was, it would be shattered when it touched the mana-dispersing magic stone. There are no variables. That wretched magic. The true nature of….
Tuk Degurur-
“….Huh?”
The arm fell. A real arm with blood dripping and a little bit of dust splashing up where it fell. There were two arms on the floor.
“How on earth is this…”
“Ta-da! It’s not a fraud or a lie!”
Falcatus was slowly backing away from the professor who was approaching him, waving the severed part of his arm. He was laughing heartily because he was so happy.
“So, if Mute created you based on my information, then that means you are really my biological son… ”
“What is that? How… I don’t understand! It’s impossible based on common sense!”
“Son. I don’t think I’ve ever met a true opponent. Could it be that this father came into the middle of an enemy camp full of 3rd and 4th graders, trusting only a piece of blood armor that uses a limited resource called mana?”
Blood Armor compensated for the weakness of the glass body, but due to the magical limitation of the second rank, it could only be used limitedly in the right hand, so it could not exert proper power. No matter how powerful it was, it was not possible for so many high-ranking mutes with just one muscle power. It was impossible to survive between them.
It was enough for Blood Armor to buy time to act as bait. If anything happened, there was a way to get at least one body out.
“Hehehehe. My son’s father will show me a magic trick.” -peel?”
Poop!
At that moment, a mist of blood spewed out from the professor’s body, muscles and bones instantly grew from the cut end of the arm, and the intact hand returned.
“Ma-Jik!”
“Don’t come close! I confirmed that there is no mana! A human who is not even of the same race… No, among us, there is no brother with that level of regenerative power…!”
“Don’t come closer? Oh my god, you can’t believe you said something like that! My son’s father is sad. Is my son… scared of his father?”
“That can’t be possible! I am a spiritually complete being as the son of a great mother! There is no way that I, who pursues the highest intelligence, would feel anything like fear-”
“Oh my. “Hyde, your brother doesn’t seem to know what fear is.”
Shuuuuuk –
Every time the professor took a step closer, the blood of the mutes around him was absorbed into his body, and his muscles began to grow in size.
Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The professor, who was in a state of mutation berserk with his entire body’s muscles bulging like a monster, raised his fist with a bright expression.
“If you don’t know, you have to learn. The quest for new knowledge. “Is this what you are pursuing?”
“Oh don’t come! monster!”
“Good monster stories! Now, third one. Are you ready? “Dad said you don’t know fear… From now on, it’s a story so scary that I will remember it every time my son sleeps and every time he lays down next to his bed!”
Sigh!
The professor’s feet dug into the ground as he leaned forward like a runner.
“I’ll make you the main character!”
“Ugh!”
Kuaaaaang!
The professor’s body hit the ground with a loud noise like a shell exploding, shattering the road and houses behind it.
