Chapter 652. Decisive Battle (2)
Parts…!
Pachichik!
Sparks of blood spread in all directions.
Wrist guards and head ornaments engraved with colorful patterns.
Indescribable magical power rose from necklaces and rings adorned with jewels he had never seen before.
“…”
Elise looked straight ahead.
Ruby-red eyes and pure white snowflake-like white silver hair made a fantastic harmony.
[Alice von Ataraxia’s ‘full armament’ unfolds.]
Tremendous magic power surged.
The absolute one who made even the strongest people in the tower bow their heads in awe.
It was the moment when the weight of the name Alice von Ataraxia was revealed without filtering.
In the middle of the raging storm…
…Ellis slowly reached out.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Then, the blood droplets gathered on the fingertips and made a strangely shaped skewer.
It was not blood spears that were simply twisted, but it had an appearance that seemed to burn with blood.
“How…”
Unknown’s voice trembled slightly.
Ataraxia’s report must have been hidden where no one could find it. I was convinced there was no way Ellis could fully recreate his prime.
That’s why Alice was planning to focus only on capturing her alive, excluding it from being a variable. In order to use it as a trump card to subdue Jinhyeok.
but.
All of that was a mistake.
It was because a monster that made me drool just by facing it appeared.
“It will be a little different from now on.”
[Ellis activates ‘Revelation of Gaebyeok’ – Blood Eclipse!]
A red line was drawn once again.
It’s on a different level than before. It is a very vivid color line.
At the same time, newly created skewers pierced the air.
“…!!??”
Unknown hurriedly activated Infinite Library.
Shields made of glacial molding surrounded the surroundings in layers.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Thick ice shards scattered in all directions.
The blow was heavy enough to make the air vibrate.
“Keugh!”
Unknown released his magic with all his might.
The idea of estimating Elise’s strength had long since disappeared. It has become an urgent situation to endure from the storm of blood that is now driving.
blah blah!
The thick ice was cut entirely as the Eclipse fell from above.
Red heat rose from the cut surface.
Unknown, who managed to escape, clicked his tongue.
“To cut this all at once. In a sense, it’s more difficult than Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Jin-hyeok’s skill usage and attack patterns, which use the same abilities, are rather familiar. I’ve been working hard to follow Jin-hyeok’s. It’s an exaggeration to say that I’m an expert at least in regards to Jin-hyeok
. I studied and studied again to the extent that it wasn’t.
However,
Alice is different.
Attack patterns, utilization, and even psychological state.
I only know the basics. I haven’t been able to attack in depth
. It looks heavy.”
The attack continued again,
and Unknown frantically activated his defense and evasion skills.
“I haven’t even started yet!”
The books in the great library were pulled out frantically and various beams of light were emitted.
[Trait ability ‘Triple Magic’ is activated!] [
Unique Sacred Spear ‘Karaka Diaslav’ is activated!]
[Unique Sacred Spear ‘Reverse Heaven’ ‘Ring of God’ is activated!]
[Unique Sacred Spear ‘Thunder God’ is activated!]
[Trait ‘Earthquake’ is activated!]
Energy supplied from a source of immense magical power
. The ground soared and the sky collapsed.
Lightning and magma intertwined. Red flames spewed from the cracked ground.
Ellis put her hands together as she faced the approaching natural disaster.
[Fully armed ‘Bracelet of Blood’ activated. It’s done!]
[The full length ‘Sigh of the Black Night’ is activated!]
The holy relics worn by Elise took on a subtle red light.
[
The special skill ‘Pure Blood Sanctuary’ is activated!
] At the same time, a huge circle centered on Elise emerged.
Red lines quickly continued in a circle with a diameter of 1 km.
Dots and dots flickered and a complex spell began to be completed.
It was as if a perfect embroidery was being drawn.
In the blink of an
eye, an out-of-the-ordinary pillar of light rose from the completed spell.
From
the ground to the sky,
the red pillar pierced the air and even penetrated the ceiling.
A barrier created to cut off from the outside world. It was the moment when a hole of enormous size was formed. Of course,
Unknown
, who
was at the center of the explosion, had to allow the most powerful blow
.
.In
the crater where even the stone was burned, it seemed that no living creature could exist.
But..
Beetle.
The creature wearing the mask withstood the blow.
“Kuaaaa!”
The mouth of the mask was torn up and down. Red blood gushed out of it.
I couldn’t stand it without screaming in tremendous pain.
But what I feared more than the pain that pierced my brain right away was the nobility of the night who was moving their steps with dignity.
[Ellis activates ‘Blood Spears’!]
The skewers, which were even disgusting, were fixed as they aimed at Unknown.
It’s this much power even though I haven’t used all of my full armament.
It is not for nothing that even the primeval beings are difficult enough to avoid a head-to-head confrontation.
‘In a head-to-head match, the odds of winning are only half and half…’
Even if he used all the strength he had saved to deal with Jinhyeok, that would be the limit. The problem was that if he exerted all his strength to deal with Elise, he would not have the energy to focus on Chun Yu-seong or the rest of the enemies.
They were also formidable enemies, so they had the power to create any number of variables if given a little chance.
A small hole will quickly develop into a crack that collapses the entire dam.
In other words.
The battle that had been advantageous was completely reversed.
Due to one person completely regaining the original body’s power.
***
same time.
In a secret place at the top of the tower, 6 senior managers and 157 mid-level managers were gathered.
Almost all of them met in one place, except for the upper level managers and middle and lower level managers who were required to maintain the tower.
There was a reasonable reason for the exceptional situation.
When the Apocalypse Covenant was invoked and the great powers of the tower as well as the primeval beings intervened, the tower itself collapsed.
“What the hell is going on?”
“The tower, which used to be quite peaceful, is now unpredictable.”
“Who said it? That’s how the administrator’s authority falls to the ground.”
“Be quiet. The people above must all have their thoughts.”
Mid-level managers were agitated.
I knew I shouldn’t raise my voice recklessly, but I couldn’t stay still because of my anxiety.
they know
The reality that I never doubted would always last forever… it seemed like it would disappear.
And it was the same with senior managers who felt insecure.
Inside the mansion built on the roots of a huge tree, six senior managers sipped freshly brewed tea.
“It’s really amazing that you’re making such a luxurious mansion in the middle of it.”
Rick, who was the only one drinking coffee, trembled.
As the words say, the log house on the roots with antique wooden decorations has retained the scale and beauty of hundreds of pyeong.
It was thanks to the ability of Vascaville, a senior manager elected from the plant world ‘Life Seed’.
“Luxury mansions suck! Did you come here to say something nonsensical like that?”
Quaang!
A manager in the shape of a red goat hit the desk.
It was ‘Hateis’ who succeeded Hastings as a senior manager.
He had risen to the highest rank of senior manager at best, but he was furious that everything might be reduced to dust before he could enjoy the sweet fruits.
“Everyone does that.”
“that’s right. This is not the time to fight among ourselves. Especially Vascaville-nim, Vendivia, and Rick-nim.”
Conflict of opinion between senior managers in the floating seat.
Even though we couldn’t make a decision at the time, we have to put down old feelings for the cause right now.
“I think it’s important to start by figuring out how things are going. Isabelle. Is that possible?”
Another senior manager, Kundala, opened her mouth.
“yes. It is possible.”
Then Isabelle, the only one who can freely peek at all the stairs, summoned a translucent mirror.
Whoops!
[‘Mirror of Dawn’ is activated.]
In the mirror, the coalition led by Jinhyeok and the Covenant led by Unknown were fighting a war.
It was a tense war situation that was unpredictable.
Until Alice fully awakens.
“This can’t be…”
“Huh.”
An exclamation erupted from the senior managers.
This is because the balance has suddenly collapsed and the scale has tilted to one side.
if you do a little more If only one very small variable is added.
The victory or defeat of the war will be completely decided.
It was then.
“What do you think about the option of helping Jinhyuk Kang at this time?”
Bendivia, who had been silent all along, brought out a dangerous proposal.
A senior manager who must always remain neutral intervenes to finalize the covenant. Instead of violating the rules of the tower, it was a call to preserve the tower itself.
Originally, it was normal for everyone to jump up and object.
Because it was the senior managers who had to lead by example more than anyone else.
However, a difficult decision had to be made because the situation was so unusual, and the primeval beings had to be prevented from becoming tyrannical.
“They say we have to come forward…”
“You mean to bet on Kang Jin-hyuk.”
“Come to think of it, Vendivia-sama has been especially fond of that human since before.”
A common denominator.
For that fact alone, Bendivia has been watching Jinhyeok’s movements since before.
If it was that human… he thought he could reach a place he couldn’t reach.
And that prediction was exactly right.
Jinhyeok stepped into a new realm that no other guard had reached.
“What about the opinions of others? If even one person disagrees, this incident will not happen.”
“To agree.”
“me too.”
“Can we promise to minimize our intervention?”
Hateis, who was thinking carefully, asked.
“That part is the one I plan to handle with the most care. I will move with indirect support as much as possible in an invisible place.”
“Then I will also be with you.”
“What will Rick do?”
Everyone’s eyes gathered in one place.
“I have no reason to refuse.”
Rick With this affirmation, they rattled their coffee cups.
“It’s been decided.”
That’s how the managers’ opinions came together.
Now, all that was left was execution.
But then,
something unexpected happened.
Ugh!
[Gate ] will be opened.]
A third person appeared in the thoroughly kept secret meeting place.
