Episode 678 War of the Returners (3)
Kakakakakang!
Kaaaang!
Alice approaches at the same time as Wolyoung and Theresa are engaged in a defensive battle.
When several variables and their respective characteristics were considered, the most interesting and savory results were derived.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth slowly turned up.
good.
All conditions were met.
All that’s left is proper directing.
Jinhyuk quickly moved his head and looked at the timing.
Right then.
[Wolyoung activates ‘Shadow Massacre’!]
The shadow moving at high speed caught Teresa off guard. It was discovered that the corrupted version of Teresa, whose personality was reversed, had a response delay of about 0.1 seconds when controlling minute details.
Death flashed through Wolyoung’s sharply pierced eyes.
Even if it doesn’t kill you.
He intended to take at least one limb from the person who targeted his master.
“Tsk.”
Teresa clicked her tongue and gathered black energy.
But it’s too late.
Geomgang will first dig into the joints between the armor and the armor. Teresa took the thrusting position half a beat late.
It was a blow with the will to make the opponent bleed even if he was attacked first.
Buuuuung!
Shortest straight course. A flash of acceleration followed by acceleration passed through.
Right then.
Phew! Pow!
Jinhyuk intervened.
A blade dug deep into the flesh.
Swords from both sides pierced Jinhyeok’s body and protruded out the other side.
Even before the flowing blood drops hit the ground, a tremendous shock shook everyone’s minds.
“Master…?”
“you…?”
An earthquake occurred in Wolyoung and Teresa’s eyes.
Skilled players who have reached a certain level often assume various variables and number of cases during battle, but I did not consider the possibility that Jinhyeok would appear in this way.
A gap of about 1 second.
What is the intention behind this? What should I do now? What will happen in the future? Everything was full of questions.
Meanwhile…
what Jinhyuk did was not an attack, a defense, an excuse, a threat, or a conciliation.
Come on.
Jinhyuk hugged Teresa
and spoke softly into her ear.
“are you okay.”
It’s no one’s fault.
So don’t blame yourself.
He just smiled brightly.
Drooling….
black tears flowed from Teresa’s eyes.
[The personality inside the fallen saint reacts.]
A previously warm and kind saint trapped in the depths of consciousness. Teresa, who saved Amsterdam and valued others more than herself, awakens.
The dark red eyes are no longer there.
Clear and clean emerald eyes gazed gently at Jinhyuk.
The small lips gently parted and the sincerity contained within flowed out.
“…thank you.”
For not giving up. And for taking risks for yourself.
Likewise, Teresa, who was hugging Jinhyuk tightly, closed her eyes and pondered over and over this precious time.
From when we first met until now. I thought that I was able to be so happy because you were by my side.
“What’s not funny?”
Teresa, whose personalities were once again mixed up and corrupted, let out an irritated remark.
He realized that his time was up.
And of course.
Kukukukukukuku!
The true ancestor of Ataraxia, who was watching all of this, could not help but become enraged.
A vicious magical power began to spread across the sky and out onto the stairs.
Go, go, go!
It was a life so cruel that even the returnees who had been flying and crawling took a step back.
“Now… what are you doing?!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A huge explosion made of blood drops followed.
***
Things have changed a little thanks to Teresa’s return and Ellis’ anger. Because Ellis ran wild, gaps were created here and there.
‘It was worth the effort. It almost made me cringe to death, but… oh, look at the chicken meat. ‘How on earth do actors who film romantic dramas manage to recite such cheesy lines?’
Jinhyuk’s whole body trembled slightly as he treated the wound.
Being able to control corruption to some extent was also a great harvest. Being able to raise Teresa’s trust to the maximum was an achievement that cannot be ignored.
Afterwards, appeasing Ellis remained a major task, but considering what was gained, it was probably a minor detail.
‘Dealing with Vingoff was quite a big deal.’
It must have been a painful loss for the enemies that the Returner of the Seal, one of the few means of stopping Ellis, was defeated early in the battle.
Quaaaang!
Kakakakang!
Teresa, who was now standing side by side with Cheon Yu-seong, also showed off her powerful power against Degoria Balrog.
“Koooh!”
Degoria Balrog swung four weapons at the same time.
However, unlike before, it was unable to absorb Teresa’s divine power.
Awakening.
Teresa overcame the extreme situation and broke through the wall. As a result, he gained the power to offset even the special abilities of the highest level demons.
“I guess going through all this trouble alone wasn’t in vain.”
“sorry. Mr. Yoosung. Because of me…”
“That’s a compliment. “Don’t worry about it and don’t make mistakes from now on.”
“yes!”
The synergy between Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa, who have continued to work together, has now reached a level where it is comparable to that of any other resident or main deity.
This is the moment when the strongest paddles I had envisioned in my head began to fulfill their roles one by one.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned in the other direction.
Although she was traumatized by the fact that she stabbed her master, Wolyoung also grew into a guard who played her part reliably in the shadows.
Aside from Sweet Potato, one of the strongest ancient species, and its followers, Fried and Soft Black Cranes, the remaining spirit beasts were also strong forces.
T-Bone, who went from being a scrawny skeleton soldier to taking his time against Clemence, and Frey, the perfect homunculus that even the gods coveted, were now indispensable.
…I have new feelings.
Colleagues scattered across all walks of life in the tower.
The fact that I was no longer alone, but that everyone was working together to reach the top of the tower warmed my heart.
Even though there were different variables and stronger enemies than before, including that man, I still felt that I could do something with them.
Right then.
A sharp look passed through Jinhyeok’s eyes.
Although it is subtle, a route to reach Clemence has been secured. The moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived.
It’s now…!
Jinhyuk gave a signal to the separate unit in the distance.
Ugh!
A bright flash of light colored the sky white.
“Magic interference has weakened.”
“You have to succeed at once.”
“Goes.”
The fairies and spirit beasts who had finished preparing for battle, led by the spirit kings, concentrated their magical power all at once.
[The special spatial movement ‘White Rabbit Hole’ is activated!]
The piles of dirt caved in and many magical powers disappeared.
Those who kept looking for an opportunity moved to succeed in a surprise attack.
Timing that took advantage of the confusion.
The prepared power was sufficient.
but.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
What the Spirit King and the spirits who cast large-scale spatial movement faced was a terrible trap.
Angelis, who discovered Jinhyeok’s plan in advance, designed the perfect pit to carry out mass murder.
“…what…?”
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaah!”
Before I could even recognize reality, the mines placed on the ground exploded all at once.
At the same time, giant invisible battleships appeared in the sky and fired plasma ray cannons.
“Checkmate.”
Angelis clapped and shouted “Bravo”.
A beat later, the Spirit Kings used their shields and various defensive skills, but they had already suffered indescribable damage.
Above all, when the existence of the separate unit was discovered, the entire advantage of a surprise attack was virtually gone.
[Angelis activates the unique spear ‘Galaxy Admiral’!]
[Invisibility mode is canceled.]
A huge number of ships appeared along the empty space.
No, it wasn’t just the ships, but the planets of the territory where Angelis was based were also summoned.
The emperor who commanded the galaxy.
Returnees who specialized in large-arms warfare joined the war in earnest.
“what…!?”
Jinhyuk took a deep breath.
Naturally, I was embarrassed because what I thought was a chance for conversion was discovered.
Not only had the surprise attack been thwarted, but the subsequent counterattack had also been completed.
Angelis’ fleet, in perfect siege formation, was holding its breath. As if they already knew that this side specialized in barriers, they were playing around with the range of the layers of barriers.
“master!”
“What should I do?”
“Mosquito!”
The sweet potatoes and spirit beasts that were caught together screamed.
You must make decisions and respond quickly.
If you make even one mistake, you could lose everyone.
***
“So what are you going to do now?”
Angelis made a childlike expression.
For him, this single battlefield is too easy.
There was no need to worry about supply or the rear, which were the most difficult areas, and only had to cover areas that were clearly visible to the eye.
Because it is that simple, one mistake will decide the outcome of the battle.
I was so curious and excited about how the famous Kang Jin-hyuk would get out of this situation.
Wooooow!
Colorful lights formed on the plasma cannons on each fleet.
It is the fleet of Angelis that can erase the existence of an object.
“We’ve cleaned up most of the bugs, so the rest will be easy. “No matter how fast and long that guy is, what can you do in this situation?”
Clemence was already confident of victory.
Now all that’s left is to use indiscriminate artillery fire and mobilize their own troops to gradually stop and kill the opponent.
Of course, the Spirit Kings tried to minimize the damage by evacuating the surviving spirits and fairies, but they could not escape the siege of Angelis, which had blocked all escape routes in advance.
[The special ability of the star ‘Jupiter’ is unlocked!]
[You will be able to summon small meteor showers within a 1km radius of Jupiter.]
[The special ability of the star ‘Uranus’ is unlocked!]
[As long as the light of Uranus does not go out. The power source of the ships lasts forever.]
As the special abilities of each star were added, the already difficult battle situation became even more difficult.
The undead troops, gaining momentum, also put more and more pressure on Ellis and Frey.
“….”
Jinhyuk, who was far away, looked directly into Angelis’ eyes.
To be honest, it was a real hit.
Let alone the fact that I paid less attention to the surprise attack because I was focusing on Teresa and Ellis. The moves Angelis prepared for victory were fierce and perfect.
“I was planning to use this a little later, but I guess I can’t help it.”
Hidden card prepared for returnees.
[Summoning the returnee ‘Medray’!]
The card I had saved for the last time was taken out.
