Episode 551. War of the great powers (2)
Pupperpuck!
Fu-wook!
The arrows rained down like mad, but they didn’t pose a threat as long as they already knew where they were coming from.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
“…omg!?”
Artemis took a deep breath.
Jin-hyeok, who had terrifyingly cold eyes, reached right in front of him.
Aside from being fast, the waves of mana are unbelievably consistent.
Parts!
[Trait ‘Grave of Swords’ is activated!]
‘Barnard’ and ‘Hongryeon’.
Dark red aura formed on the tips of the two swords.
Sensing a crisis, Artemis hurriedly summoned the wolves and stacked defense skills on her bow.
“Kuong! Knock!”
“Koooooo!”
The wolves who dealt with Behemoth all responded to the master’s call.
at the same time.
Different curves intersect in an X shape.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
A fountain of blood gushing out.
The sword strike, which cut down everything it touched, cut down all the wolves.
That alone was not enough, and it left a deep scar on the back of Artemis’ hand.
“Aaaagh!”
A shriek erupted from Artemis’ mouth.
When was the last time you felt real pain?
The cold touch that penetrated even the brain was unfamiliar and sharp.
The wound healed quickly, but the shock left in the mind did not recover.
“How dare you… hurt… my body!?”
“Hey. Do you only have that? I’m going to take this opportunity to leave a very nice knife mark.”
Jinhyeok pretended to cut a knife at Artemis’ neck.
“Aww! I will tear you to death!”
Artemis has completely lost her temper.
Athena told me to get out of my body unconditionally if the situation went wrong and the moment came when I had to do my best.
I couldn’t remember saying anything like that.
Whoa!
All the moonlight shining through the clouds began to be sucked into Artemis’ body.
[Artemis activates her unique vocal lance ‘Whispers of the Moon’!]
Hair dyed white.
A soft glow emanated from her skin.
Took.
Bows and quivers fell to the floor.
Instead, two half-moon-shaped daggers were held in his hands.
“A sword would be better than a bow against you.”
Artemis held a pair of half-moon daggers in reverse.
It is unimaginable that she is a goddess who always shoots arrows at medium and long distances.
It was also proof that he was filled with hatred enough to throw away his pride.
Quaang!
Artemis took her seat.
The trail of moonlight rushed forward, erasing the afterimage.
…left.
Jinhyeok immediately raised his dagger at an angle.
Kaaang!
A sharp shock echoed through the bones.
It doesn’t just mean that the attack is heavy.
The attack that shocked the inside, not the outside, reminded me of Moorim’s penetration mirror.
Of course, it had a level of perfection that could not be compared with it.
Tsut… pat!
The sound of thinning wind pierced my eardrums.
As if the greetings were over at first, Artemis started attacking like crazy.
Kaaang! Kakakakang!
Afterimage follows afterimage.
The two figures had long since disappeared from sight.
Only the sparks and shrill noises in the air suggested that the battle was going on.
“It’s creepy… that’s right. He is also a monster.”
Behemoth, who was dealing with the wolves, embraced his trembling body with both arms.
It felt as if all the nerves in my body were being burned with excitement and shudder.
That’s right.
The opponent is one of the main deities who manage the upper floors of the tower.
Wasn’t that also a battle-type deity belonging to Olympus?
Even though such an absolute being is exerting all his might while manifesting his unique holy spear…
…he was unable to defeat a single human who came from outside the tower.
A close fight that doesn’t push an inch.
No, rather, it was Jinhyeok who pushed.
“Obviously, the one who defeated me should be at that level. I don’t know about anything else, but one eye is amazing.”
I couldn’t help but smile naturally.
A life that was too long.
Because someone who will put an end to living a day just to spend without purpose or meaning has appeared.
If you work with Jinhyeok, you will see where you have not reached before.
With the deities who are rotting with all the power of the tower in their hands.
Administrators who colluded with them and became corrupted.
And to the last beings at the top of the tower.
beyond all of that.
[Behemoth returns as a ‘humanoid’!]
Behemoth has canceled his semi-manifested state.
Fighting with a huge body is not to my liking.
The beauty of battle is a hand-to-hand combat right in front of you.
The tip of the long greatsword pointed at the wolves one by one.
“Should we stop joking around like this and have a bloody fight? The masters are fighting for their lives, so should we play house?”
⁕⁕⁕
Due to the sudden outbreak of war, the entire Tower of Trials turned upside down.
This is because there was an all-out war between the principals rather than simply a territorial dispute between giant powers.
In the end, middle and lower managers as well as upper managers all paid attention to this situation.
and present.
The ‘backside layer’ that existed in the Tower of Trials.
This is a kind of huge room where all the managers can gather.
Fire.
Tarak!
A bonfire in the center and soft candles lit up the dark interior.
The managers drank water and moistened their chapped lips.
But even more than the thirst, the sunken air tightened his heart even more.
…something has to be done.
But what can you do?
An unpredictable war situation waged by non-standard monsters.
There was no one who could confidently say what to do next.
I just quietly sit there and wait for someone to give me a direction.
The one who broke the silence was the side where the senior managers were gathered.
“…I predicted that there would be a blue wave, but this is too fast. I think we need to actively intervene.”
Vendivia stared at the video floating above the flames with a stiff face.
The phone calls that have already spread out of control won’t stop until they burn everyone on the other end.
I didn’t know what effect it would have on the tower if this war, in which several giant powers were intertwined, was left alone.
especially.
I didn’t expect to use the ‘blurred area’…
The ‘blurred area’ is a kind of dimensional collapse.
It is a large-scale prohibition that moves the base of Olympus to the right side of Yggdrasil, where the Norse gods are located.
Now that the physical distance between the two strongholds has been minimized, there will really be no backs.
At least, it wasn’t too late since the golden arts were not yet fully completed.
If you hurry, you still have a chance to prevent the worst.
“Originally, it is our principle not to intervene in the affairs of the Tower, but this time, the situation has become too big.”
Rick, who was next to him, added a word.
As the two senior managers took up arms, an atmosphere of sympathy erupted everywhere.
“I agree.”
“I can’t just sit by the sidelines this time.”
“Right! This is complete disregard for the Administrators!”
“But… if I messed up for no reason, sparks would fly…
”
There was a mix of worry and apprehension, but the risk was high either way.
“Then I assume everyone agrees…”
It was time for Vendivia, who had obtained the consent of the managers, to make a final decision.
“Hmm. I wish it would stop…?”
An unfamiliar voice resounded where the managers were.
that buck widely!
Along with the sound of footsteps, the sound of sticks clashing was regularly heard.
“What kind of guy are you! How dare you say where is this place!”
“Rash it right now!”
Guardians armed with iron armor immediately tried to subdue the intruder.
however.
Paaang!
With one light gesture, the Guardian’s upper body disappeared.
staggering
The body, which had lost its balance, waddled and collapsed.
cooong! thud!
The Guardians who were besieging them also faced the same end.
overwhelming force.
A purple aura slowly rose.
The candles went out and darkness began to creep into the room.
“You… why…?”
“Whoops. Senior managers don’t need to know that. More politely, I ask the admins to take their hands off this matter. Unless you want to end up like them.”
Nyarlathotep bowed deeply.
***
Kakakakang!
A sword attack from the front.
The half-moon dagger continued its bizarre trajectory.
…don’t just knock it out.
Unlike standard swords, the half moon sword would get hurt if it struck the same way because of its unusual shape.
change the point.
You have to read the timing half a beat fast.
Jinhyeok surrendered to his extremely sensitive reflexes.
Kagagagak!
‘Hongryeon’ and the half-moon dagger passed each other’s blades at an angle.
For a moment, Artemis disappeared from sight.
…tuk!
I could feel the presence right behind me.
Artemis lowered herself down and aimed at the lower abdomen.
As soon as Jinhyeok lifted himself up, he fired a slash using the sword blade.
Awesome!
What was cut down is an afterimage.
The body had already dug into Jinhyeok’s arms.
“Finally… got it!”
Artemis’ sword reached exactly the tip of the uvula.
At that moment,
two different abilities, ‘Destroy All Poison’ and ‘Poison Road’, were merged into one.
Chow ah!
The greenish liquid spread in the form of steam.
Cheeik!
“…!”
Artemis hurriedly widened the distance.
The deadly poison clung to his skin and tried to melt it to the inside.
Whoops!
In an instant, the soft moonlight became more intense.
After pouring mana into it, the wound was completely healed, and of course, he was able to move regardless of the poisonous dance.
“It’s poison… I’ll show you the difference in status that can’t be helped with these tricks.”
[‘Whispers of the Moon’ – ‘Twelve Sisters’ is activated!]
What you see reflected in the moonlight is an afterimage.
They are the alter egos of Artemis.
The horse was an alter ego, but each possessed about half of Artemis’ power.
chuck.
Swoop.
Each alter ego took a stance armed with a ‘half moon dagger’ and a ‘bow’.
This means that it can cover both short and medium distances.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inside.
‘Maybe the limit was to make him step back for a moment.’
In addition, there are 12 sisters with special abilities.
It’s a really annoying ability.
So, I wanted to get it even more.
[Copy Terms: Artemis is now more wrathful than ever. Bondi anger and revenge are one of the most powerful motives. If you can create a situation that can frustrate Artemis’ revenge, you can copy one of her unique holy spear, unique abilities, and skills.]
The device for the condition is equipped.
I also bought enough time for Freyna Elise to move.
‘By now, each of them should have arrived at the place they said.’
Jinhyeok had already sent the two to another place before Artemis came here.
As a paving stone to win the war.
good.
Now you can slowly finish it.
Jinhyeok brought out another ability.
[You have used the unique ability ‘Golden Apple of the Apostate’!]
The power to use one of the abilities of the Greek Goddess.
What to choose has already been decided.
[Bring the power of Apollo!]
Kukukukuku!
A wagon appeared that seemed to contain the scare of the sun.
There was so much brilliance that it turned night into day.
Artemis let go of the string of her bow.
Some clones dropped their half-moon daggers as they were.
“That ability is…”
Yes, there is no way you don’t know.
How could you not know?
The one and only precious older brother’s ability.
“This ability looks pretty good.”
If your opponent is strong, you don’t have to fight head-on.
Because there were many ways to shake the mental.
One more thing here.
A trump card has been added that can mark the climax of the play.
[I used a ‘bast mask’.]
Jinhyeok’s face began to change.
A male god of Olympus gods with blonde hair and blue eyes.
with ‘Apollo’.
