Episode 71
EPISODE.36
The chimera-turned cultist let out a roar just as he was about to collect the dragon fear.
“□□ □□-!!”
A roar so loud that the air vibrates and deafens the listener.
Russell frowned at the roar that rang in his ears.
‘Am I stimulated?’
Ordinary creatures would be frightened just by being exposed to dragon fear.
However, the opponent was a cultist who completely transformed his body into a chimera.
There was nothing strange about not being scared, but burning fighting spirit.
In the first place, the time he was exposed to Dragon Fear wasn’t that long.
‘The Dragon Fear I have can’t even compare to the real one.’
Perhaps, during the process of chimeraization, the monster’s cells may have eaten away some of its intelligence.
“□□-!”
As Russell conjectures.
In fact, transforming one’s body into a full-body chimera was not a popular method among cultists.
Even if they are remodeled, most of them stop at some parts.
It was possible to become overwhelmingly strong in a short period of time through some degree of remodeling, but on the contrary, the limit was also clear.
And the cultist in front of Russell was also a cultist who had reached its limits.
“□□□□!?”
Due to the factors of the monsters transplanted into his body, his intelligence decreased, and he was trapped in the 5th circle.
A wizard is a being that needs a balance between cold reason and sharp instincts.
From the point of view of such wizards, it was definitely something to be avoided for one side to lead overwhelmingly.
“□□ □□-! □□!!”
Even more so if it’s on the side of instinct.
The guy who shouted an incomprehensible word moved his arms covered with colorful muscles.
Grabbing part of the gravity, he swung vigorously at the same time.
Whoa-!
Along with a powerful shockwave, the gravitational chain brushes past Russell’s bedside.
If he hadn’t lowered his head, his whole head might have been blown away!
However, Russell took the attack insignificantly and let it go without a change in his expression.
I snapped my fingers.
Follow me-!
Every time the ten fingers flicked quickly, the wind began to fluctuate.
4 circle magic wind cutter.
A sharpened blade of wind tore through the pile of cephalopod tentacles on his left arm.
Clap, clap, clap-!
Severed tentacle fragments and suckers fall to the floor.
Patter.
Immediately after, Russell clenched his fists.
At the same time as the shockwaves were piled up, they were released at one point.
A whopping 5 stacks of shock magic burst out, striking the guy’s chest as it was.
Aaaaaang-!
With a huge shock, the guy fell to the floor.
An impact that would crush the chest to the bone even for a knight armed with full plate mail.
But nonetheless, the guy got up.
“…□□.”
The steel thread that was stitching his lips wriggled grotesquely and his eyes shone viciously.
The durability of the guy who moved even after being hit by that kind of magic was phenomenal, even if he put second to the un-magician’s coping with his bare body.
Something that cannot be explained simply by saying that the body is hard.
Before long, Russell was able to find an answer to that question.
‘Is it regeneration?’
Woo-woo-woo-woo-deuk.
His chest, which collapsed as if it had collapsed, was regaining its shape.
I noticed that the tentacles that were cut off were also growing little by little.
‘Probably a troll’s factor…’
Not an ordinary troll.
Looking at the playback speed, it was clear that a troll of a fairly high rank was used.
‘No matter how high-ranking a troll is, there’s no way he could have just been hit head-on and regenerated this quickly.’
I must have added a few more.
There were several ways to deal with monsters with strong vitality such as trolls.
‘Regenerative power is an act of consuming the energy you have after all.’
In other words, unless your energy is infinite, you have to replenish it as much as you consumed so that you can recover later.
That is to say.
‘Stop attacking until there is no more energy to regenerate.’
Of course, this is not recommended when hunting trolls.
That blood, with its strong restorative power, was one of the rarest research subjects for wizards.
But the opponent is a cultist, not a troll.
Not only that, but he was a crazy cultist who transplanted monsters into his body.
There was no reason to hesitate.
Russell immediately moved on to his next move.
“Sueu-.” After rising into the air through
the 5th circle magic
Levitation, Russell exhaled slowly.
The Dragon Fear, which had collected the energy of the dragon following the exhaled breath, once again gave off its presence.
If there is a difference, is it in the form of concentrating on a single point rather than radiating widely?
“ ….”
His body starts to tremble at the concentrated dragon fear.
Perhaps the boy’s choice is one of two.
If your body gets dull in fear or else…
‘Try to rebel against an incomplete dragon peer.’
The boy’s choice was the latter.
“□□ □□-!!”
Right after that, the guy lowered his stance.
The thighs made of unknown monsters were greatly inflated.
‘Am I trying to leap?’
bang!
With a heavy drink, the new model of the guy disappeared from the spot.
Bang bang bang bang!
A shockwave that shakes the whole area.
Innumerable lines of afterimages cross all directions and begin to be engraved.
Afterimages that move while drawing zigzags.
It is making a dizzying movement up, down, left and right, kicking the surrounding rocks and trees.
His movements were so swift and disorderly that the culprit’s eyes couldn’t even follow them.
‘up and down. no. Is it the left this time?’
However, Russell’s eyes followed his movements with incredible precision.
Her senses expanded like a spider’s web and read the guy’s movements.
bang-!
And finally, the new model of the guy soared upward.
As if out of surprise from a blind spot, he jumped toward Russell from outside his field of vision.
That moment!
-!!
The impact magic that flew from the air pinned the guy’s body to the ground as it was.
Kwalung!
The shockwave causes the ground to collapse, creating pits several meters high.
Remnants of the wreckage covered his body and smoked up stone dust-.
“■■■■■■■■-!!”
At the bottom of the piled-up stone pit, the guy let out a scream.
It was a scream that felt a little different from before.
This time, the meaning was clearly distinguishable.
‘pain-.’
It’s because it bounced off at the speed at which it rushed. The shock wouldn’t be too bad either.
‘The spine might have been smashed.’
However, Russell’s attacks were not yet over.
Because the shock wave was preparing for a terrifying combo attack.
Roaring-.
Following Russell’s finger, a huge spear of flame appears in the air.
The Blaze Lance has become a circle 5 and summoning has become much easier.
An improved form that has the formula of Explosion added to it and compressed the flame.
The number reached ten.
Due to the high temperature, a convection phenomenon occurred, and Russell’s hem fluttered greatly.
The time it took to unfold to that point was literally about half a breath.
‘Suck.’
On top of that, Russell took another half-breath.
He grabbed the hand that had been extended.
Compression Rotation Acceleration Penetration Enhanced Sharpness etc.
And…
Pajik-!
Above the red flames, blue lightning coiled around the blaze lance.
From firepower to explosive power, to lightning strikes. Russell gave it a new name, feeling the power of a spear that was distinctly different from before.
Russell Raymond.
Originality
Demon Spear Gáe Bulg
‘Go!’
-Wow!
With the command, ten Gáe Bulg fell vertically toward the ground.
At a speed that even exceeded the speed of sound, the surrounding air exploded.
Beep!
Ten demonic spears pierced one point at once.
―!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Powerful shockwaves, as if a landslide had occurred, spread randomly through the grounds of the base camp.
Kwagwagwagwa!
The ground in the area oscillates like waves, and cracks and distorts as if an earthquake had occurred.
A scene of great destruction!
The physical force from the accelerated speed alone was destructive enough to turn humans into chunks of meat.
No, even if it was a charge of knights on horseback rather than humans, it would be able to turn it into a handful of blood!
In addition, it has the firepower to evaporate even a rock the size of a house if it hits.
No matter how much the monster’s body was transplanted, there was no way they could survive it.
It would not have died, but it would have been destroyed, at least until it could not regenerate.
Boogle Boogle.
As if those words were not a lie, the pit where the ten demonic spears were struck boiled hot.
The rocks covering the pit began to melt away.
“■■■■■-!!”
“Bober-.”
Seeing that scene, Wei Garden, a cultist, cried out in admiration.
“-crack!?”
Before he could even finish his words, ice rose from the floor and bound one of his arms and legs.
Icicle Restriction unfolded through him on the ice that took over the area before he knew it.
“You have time to pay attention to your colleagues and you are relaxed.”
Alan let out a white breath. It was a breath mixed with chills.
“This kid…”
Wigarden gritted his teeth at the sight of the frozen icicle with his arms and legs buried in it.
‘If you melt it with the magic of the bondage flame of the ice…’
Before that, the temperature around it went down.
On one side, the ground was melted by the flames, and on the other side, the floor froze and became an ice sheet.
This is the battle of the 5th Circle War Mages who are said to have crossed the wall.
Just as swordsmen of the same expert class have different levels of perfection depending on the level of training and effort, the wizard was no exception.
jerk-.
Frost begins to rise along the icicles that bind the limbs, and a chill begins to rise up the body.
Awesomely-.
Wigarden screamed in agony of distraction.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
The pain of rapidly freezing limbs was not something that could easily be endured.
If you try to forcefully remove your arm, it will be smashed like this.
“Huh-!”
It was Hilla, the cultist woman, who became impatient at the resounding screams.
‘Not only Wigarden, but also Bobert?’
Even when they first started working, they did not think that they would be cornered.
I expected the situation where Alan Page joined, but I thought it would be possible to take the artifact from Russell and run away.
‘It’s all because of that kid.’
Natural flowers burned along the corners of her eyes as she glared at Russell.
From one to ten, the little guy was at every point where their plans started to go awry.
Contrary to what is known as the 4th circle, the level of magic beyond the wall of the 5th circle.
In addition to that, even though they had just crossed the wall, they were so perfect that they overwhelm them!
‘That’s the skill of a kid who was in the 4th circle just a few days ago!?’
Unbeknownst to me, my fingertips were shaking.
A sense of fear came over me as if I was looking down at the ceiling cliff from the edge of the cliff.
I didn’t know if this fear was caused by a difference in talent or something else.
He was deeply grateful for the fact that his opponent was not the two of them, but the excavation wizard in front of him.
If he hadn’t, he would have been in the same situation as the two of them.
It was clear that if either Bobert or Weegarden fell, it would be his turn next.
‘I have to run away.’
There were no odds anymore, and camaraderie didn’t exist from the beginning.
He made a decision without hesitation and shouted ferociously.
“Go away, you old man!”
A swarm of bats made of dark magic poured out along the outstretched arms.
Food Duck.
Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsuts-!
“Hut!”
A swarm of bats numbering in dozens and hundreds covered Spiegelman’s gaze for an instant.
Hilla turned around.
Without a second’s hesitation, he started running.
‘I alone… I have to survive alone!’
Before she was less than twenty paces away from him, a white bolt of lightning pierced the top of her head.
Flash!
