Episode 496. Queen Lear of the Black Letanas (2)
It was empty.
Abandoned by those who trusted. Because all the glory and honor you had turned into a handful of dust and disappeared.
so that.
Because no one can understand this sadness and despair.
…it was painful.
And even those feelings will be forgotten.
I got the strength to live again.
A chance to wash away the shame of the past.
I met someone more precious than that.
[Ellis activates her unique Holy Spear, ‘Revelation of the Gaebyeok’!]
Red skewers appearing with red rings.
“Exension!”
An indescribable magic power erupted from Alice’s body.
Drops of blood that became a storm rushed forward all at once.
“Hmm. As expected, it’s still the same to fight against fire.”
Exension had a confident smile on his face.
Wow!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The flying harpoons scattered into powder in the air.
An ominous energy emanated from the shield made of black film.
“It’s a pity, but now I can exert the same power as in my estate. It means that no matter how hard you try, it is useless.”
“That shield is about to break if you keep knocking on it. I dare to make you regret revealing your face in front of me to the core.”
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Elise’s energy grew stronger.
As if it didn’t matter if all the mana in his body was burned away.
“Ellis!”
Jinhyuk shouted once more.
Naturally, that cry did not reach Elise.
‘Damn this must be a headache.’
Exension and the red dragon Tamia, who have released the system’s restrictions.
Besides, that bone spear held by Tamia…
was an unusual weapon in another sense.
‘Did he even get the bones of an ancient dragon?’
There was no way the two of them would have done a job of this size.
Hasting, or maybe it’s fair to assume that more than just Nyarlathotep are involved.
The variable that the eagle owl had mentioned also emerged as one of the possibilities.
Whatever it is, getting out of this hell right now is the key.
Jinhyeok sent a signal to Teresa.
“…all right!”
Theresa moved immediately.
This time it was not to attack, but to secure a retreat.
But just then
“Aww!”
A scream rang out from the place where Ahn Il-man and Romanowski were.
Again, what was expected happened.
At this timing, the Old Guard began to move.
Judging by the screams, it was already too late.
Someone is already dead and the other must have committed the murder.
Now I have no choice but to save someone who can be saved.
“Mr. Kang Soo-ah!”
“Yes yes…”
Sua Kang muttered with a confused face.
My hands and feet were trembling as if I had lost my mind.
“Relax!”
“yes? yes…!”
“I need to get out of here with the rest of the people right now. Come to your senses!”
Jinhyeok grabbed Sua Kang by the shoulder and shook him.
“Why… why do people on our side kill each other… what am I…”
Kang Soo-ah created an even more confused expression.
“One of my colleagues over there is someone I knew on the surface, but the inside of it is something else. I will give you a detailed explanation later, so take the rest of us and get out of here right away.”
Kwaaang!
Puffer Puck!
“Quaaaaagh!”
Another scream rang out.
Even in the midst of this, the Old Guard was steadily handling the players of the Prime Service Guild.
“I can’t… Oh, okay, I’ll retreat.”
Kang Soo-ah will take care of any additional damage.
Jinhyuk immediately turned to the other side.
With this, the minimum defense…
Fuuk!
“uh…?”
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
A sharp pain felt in the back.
A sharp dagger was lodged precisely in the shoulder blade.
Jinhyuk reflexively widened his distance.
“Hey, you hid it perfectly until you lived, but you react to this in the middle of it? A real person is a person.”
A fishy smile crept across Kang Soo-ah’s lips.
“You… were the Old Guard? Then the one running amok behind me…”
I could definitely feel my vitality disappearing.
No way…
“Right. Not one Old Guard came here. Do you think I came alone to hunt a pesky game like you?”
“I heard that you are an old guard in the top 5, but in the middle of it, you joined forces. Do you have any pride or something?”
Jinhyeok took a bitter taste and drew out his sword.
Dripping…
Red blood flowed from the wound.
At the same time, ‘Star Protection’ and ‘Mandala’ were activated.
The power to heal moderate wounds in an instant will heal wounds of this magnitude in the blink of an eye.
however.
thump! sour!
The wound never healed.
Rather, it felt like the area where it had been stabbed hardened.
“Curse… Is that the curse of absolute judgment?”
Jinhyuk looked at the dagger.
A blade with a unique pattern.
“You also have good eyesight. It’s a dagger of petrification. As time goes by, it gradually deteriorates and eventually the whole body becomes a stone. Of course, I know you’re talented, but it won’t be easy this time.”
damn it
It caught on really well.
It was because he was expected to deal with not only Queen Lear, but also the Old Guard following Excension and Tamia.
‘Teresa and Wolyeong also don’t have the energy to help because they’re doing their best to deal with the centipedes.’
Above all, as Sua Kang said, the wounds she now suffered were not serious.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Same time.
The battle between Alice and the Exension also became more intense.
Hundreds of skewers disappeared all at once.
Only the red flash revealed the trajectory of the flight.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
However, Exension intercepted all the skewers that Elise had thrown.
Black skewers began to fill the air again.
“good. very good! Back then, I was so insanely strong that I even felt fear… After all, signing a contract with a lesser human being has turned me into a loser!”
The Exension exploded with a ray of light.
The more the battle is repeated, the more clearly the charter is tilted.
The number of skewers floating next to Elise was reduced by almost half.
On the other hand, Exension was still alive and well.
“Look at my… contractor and don’t say that I’m not good enough. My contractor is stronger than any being in the tower.”
“Puhaha! It must have been covered very well. After all, he used dragons in his own way.”
Taking out Alice sealed in the Corridor of the Fallen and climbing to the 30th floor of the tower is definitely a tremendous achievement.
That’s for humans.
However, from now on, the realm of heroes and gods that transcend humans.
Players who have been arrogant until now will fall with their wings broken.
“From now on, it will be a little more difficult to accept. Alice.”
“You can come. Jim hasn’t even shown his full strength yet.”
Ellis did not lose and fought back.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
A red window and a black window intersect.
As the enormous number of magical masses collided, huge waves spread in all directions.
“Koooooo!”
“Keye!”
The centipedes around him were caught up in it.
like a natural disaster. Just being near it would tear your whole body to shreds.
“Ha ha ha! That’s not enough. try harder and harder Isn’t your Cheolcheon enemy right in front of you!”
Exension, which had been heated up, raised its voice even more.
From above…
below.
A spear made of dozens of skewers fell.
[Exension is Lv?? Summons the ‘Chaos Spear’!]
“Kuh!”
Elise immediately pulled out the red blades.
Hundreds of blades rotated clockwise to create one huge shield.
The strongest defensive skill among the possessions.
But…
Kwaaaang!
The power of the fallen spear was a kind that far exceeded expectations.
The ground cracked like a tortoise shell.
Dozens of shockwaves arose as if they had been directly hit by a meteor.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Patter….
Fragments fell.
“Ah… uh…”
The dusty Elise struggled to get herself up.
All the red blades were smashed and fell to the ground.
It was barely blocked, but the damage was great.
‘I can’t use my left arm anymore. The lungs and the liver… were also injured.’
It’s not strange even if it collapses at any time.
What’s more, the supply of magical power from the contractor has also weakened.
‘Could it be… that he was injured?’
Elise turned her head with difficulty.
Then I saw Jinhyeok staggering.
Judging by the amount of blood gushing out of his shoulder, he must have been seriously injured.
We need help right now.
You, and no one else, must find the contractor.
that buck
Elise left her injured body behind and moved toward where Jinhyeok was.
that buck
The steps are heavy.
Vision is also blurry.
still have to go
You have to be by my side somehow.
You have to let them know you’re here.
“Ah…”
Alice slowly reached out her hand.
Jinhyuk’s face could be seen in the distance through the thick dust.
“Hoo. Did you stop that?”
However, the cold voice did not allow Alice to go to Jinhyeok.
Papapat!
A long, thin sword mark appeared on Elise’s leg.
The Exension with its rapier pulled out blocked Elise’s path.
“Get out of the way…”
“You look like you’re about to die, but your snout is still alive.”
“Get out of the way!”
“Don’t give orders with your mouth. Speak as a force. The fallen head of the previous generation.”
Parts!
The Exension’s rapier burned dazzlingly.
The sword engraved with the dark red rune was a holy relic that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Ataraxia family.
“The reason why you were defeated at that time was because you neglected the swordsmanship that a true ancestor should have mastered.”
Long-distance attacks are basic. In addition, it was necessary to specialize in close combat as a family head.
“Where can I get it?”
Exension snapped the tip of his sword.
“I also… learned.”
Alice’s small mouth opened.
“What are you muttering about?”
“I also know how to use a rapier. You learned how to use a sword.”
The contractor who taught me how to use the rapier.
If it was how to handle a rapier, he learned it over and over again.
From the strongest in the tower he knows.
Whoops!
Alice opened the subspace inventory.
What appeared was a rapier with a pure white blade.
The handle, like a single flower, settled into Elise’s right hand.
“You’ve got a good posture. So, what are you going to do with that body that is depleted of mana and injured? Apparently, the person who signed the contract with you isn’t in a position to share his magical powers either?”
“It doesn’t matter. with my own power… I’m going to find a contractor.”
[The contract is temporarily discontinued.]
[It consumes its own magic power.]
[When all magic power is depleted, the target disappears.]
Red status windows appeared one after another.
[Revelation of Gaebyeok – The pure-blooded angel ‘Redemption’ is activated!]
A pair of wings split into three pairs.
The red ring was dyed white, and the color of the sword and wings became the same.
A feast of white and red magic.
This is Alice’s.
No, it’s the close combat of Ellis von Ataraxia.
