Chapter 955
Episode 235. Jito(4)
I hate it so much!
Zito shouted once more.
He trembled as if he had been mentally attacked by Ayula. I thought that it was too much to do that the hostiles suddenly became so warm and joined forces to fight against me.
[It’s really scary, hey. what are you guys Do you think I was born in pain to see something like that? If the three of us fight, isn’t it common sense to have a bloody three-way battle?]
“It is noisy.”
jjwoong-! Big!
Elona’s magical power caught Zito once more and exploded it. The sound of her flesh, blood, and intestines exploding spread, and Elona opened her eyes and raised her mana again.
That magic power instantly formed a huge sphere like the sun in the sky.
It wasn’t just one. Ten more orbs were aiming at Jito with the sky covered. Each time Elona swung her staff down, one of her spheres fell to the ground.
[Aagh!]
When one sphere fell, Jito lost his body once.
Even if a new body was formed immediately, the sphere exploded and was only twisted and torn by the attraction and repulsion left behind.
It was the same even when he moved to another place and formed a body far away. New spheres had already fallen where Zito’s body would appear, and even if multiple bodies were formed at the same time, Elona’s magic was present in all of those places.
Even Jin had never seen a magician who could use that kind of magical power.
The destructive power of Paellito’s annihilation attack in the Holy Land was also shocking, but compared to the nameless magic that Elona used now, even that seemed shabby.
[Wow, is this a power that humans can wield? That would be more dangerous than me in terms of wages.]
“Didn’t you say it was noisy?”
The spheres of magical power turned into cubes and began to rotate.
Then, a whirlpool opened in the middle of the subspace, and Jito was sucked into it without rest. The formed body struggled to escape, but its limbs were torn apart and swallowed, and the entire subspace was distorted and turned into a giant dough.
Even after using so much mana in just a few minutes, Elona showed no sign of fatigue.
Rather, it was a relaxed attitude, as if this was just the beginning.
‘A thousand years ago, I was in charge of more than half of the total power of Zipple… That’s what it meant.’
Elona is a wizard who can destroy continents with just a few swings of her staff while standing still.
A thousand years ago, few people recognized her as human. To the people of that time, Elona, like her witch Heluram, was perceived as the personification of disaster and destruction.
[Keuhiiah!]
Zito groaned. He was moving the entire subspace as there was no point in forming a body in human form.
A giant fist fell from the middle of the sky like a citadel. The fist struck the vortex that Elona had spread, and then it twisted and scattered purple flesh in all directions.
The vortex was also dispersing. The rotating magic cubes also slowed down like an engine that had lost power.
“But God is God? To break this in such a simple way.”
[If it wasn’t for our Jin, I wouldn’t have been able to use the side, but now that I can hold on for a while, I guess it’s very boring?]
“It’s not tolerable, but my mind is very clear.”
[Didn’t you ever think that it’s because our Jin is suffering instead of you? It’s very selfish.]
At those words, Elona burst out laughing.
“This is how it feels to rely on someone stronger than me.”
Fighting alongside a stronger person and relying on him.
Of course, it was an emotion that Elona had never felt before or now. Because she was always the strongest, and her people always depended on her.
“It may seem selfish. But how is that? People who protect me say it’s okay, but what right do you have to say such nonsense?”
Another fist hit Jin and Elona.
Before the fists could reach, Elona swung her staff upward as if striking with a sword. Then her magical energy soared as sharp as her sword blade, splitting her Jito’s fist in half.
It wasn’t using the cutting power unique to wind magic or light magic. Elona was just imitating the sword skills of her knights by limitlessly compressing her mana.
Even if just by imitating it, the power equivalent to that of a celestial slash is generated.
The gap that occurred for a while, Zito did not miss it and formed a body behind Elona’s back and struck the thorn axe.
“Zito, what do you think it would be like in close combat?”
Zito definitely thought that Elona could not escape.
He would definitely block it with a shield, so he concentrated his strength on the thorn ax to infiltrate the thorns into the shield at once.
However, the moment he swung the thorn axe, Jito suddenly felt his body numb. Just like the day I faced Olta, the god of past time.
‘This crazy… !’
Of course, Elona does not have the power of time that Olta has.
Even so, the reason Jito’s movements slowed down was because of magic. The densely compressed mana near Elona was blocking Jito like water.
The axe, which should have been as fast as thunder, fell rather slowly. Elona reacted leisurely, striking back at her spiked ax with her staff.
‘Runcandel’s swordsmanship… !?’
An ignorant swordsmanship that lacks the usual form and ceremony, and uses only the blessed body as a base.
Elona’s close combat was clearly similar to Runcandel. A thousand years ago, Elona and the people she fought the most with were Rune Kandel, and naturally, she copied Rune Kandel’s swords. Their swords were also the best.
It is, of course, impossible for a normal wizard. Even an extremely excellent knight, not a wizard, could not imitate them just with the experience of having fought a lot with Runkandel.
However, Elona was realizing Runcandel’s body using her extreme magic power.
‘All movements and explosion sections that put strain on the body are alleviated with magical power. I thought this would be possible. It’s not easy even if you have a wide heart and brain like me.’
Since Jin was born, he had never seen a more complicated and inefficient way of mana management than this one. But she was as comfortable to me as breathing her.
Caan-! The staff and the thorn ax collided. Elona moved like a top-notch Runcandel and even pressed Jito in reverse.
The staff, which moves like a sword, is flexible yet destructive, fast and sophisticated.
In the past, she destroyed countless Runkandels like this. The runcandels who barely managed to dig into the streets couldn’t help but despair at her close combat skills.
Jin was carrying all the pain caused by contact, so she used much more freedom of movement than that.
There is no need to save strength like Jin. In the first place, caring was only necessary for those who lacked strength.
‘At this rate, I’ll be able to seize the opportunity to split the sun without difficulty.’
His stamina was exhausted more than expected while protecting Elona until he received the offer, but it wasn’t enough to be a problem.
Jin focused on recovery and was watching the war situation.
Elona seemed to overwhelm Zito now, but in fact, the fight between the two could be said to be a meaningless war of attrition.
Two beings with infinite power are only scratching each other.
For instance, time was still on Zito’s side. The only reason Elona can fight like this is because Jin endured all her pain.
Therefore, if Jin collapsed, Elona would be doomed as well.
‘once… I only need to cut it once.’
Elona was also aware of that fact.
‘If I had been in my prime a thousand years ago, I would have been able to somehow annihilate Jito by myself even without Jinkyung… it’s going to be difficult now If Jin-kyung can’t finish, I’m in danger too.’
But I wasn’t worried.
Despite feeling Jin’s breathing getting quicker, Elona was sure that he would make it.
He was sincere when he told Jito that Jin was stronger than he was. It’s not just the size of the power or fighting power, but fundamentally, Jin was a strong person who was incomparable to himself.
‘If this kind of person is a friend of the head of household… The patriarch will find what he lost, for sure.’
[Ah! Can’t you just give it a little bit? Are you more annoying than you think? Looks like you’re a remnant of the sun god too, so we should be a team? If I’m the embodiment of the sun god’s pain, then you’re like the sun god’s desire for destruction.]
“Maybe. But I don’t want to live the life of fate like you, Zito. Have you ever thought about how ugly and crude you are now?”
[Foot, puff. Say that without the smell of human blood on you. How many people have you killed so far? It seems to be well over a billion. We are alike, Elona Ziple. Even if you are lucky enough to survive today, you will eventually play the biggest role in destroying the world.]
“At that time, someone else will stand in my way. Just like Jin-kyung is about to cut you.”
At that moment, Jin switched swords.
Golden energy and aura were gathering in Bradamante. The preparations are complete. Zito was conscious of Elona, so he couldn’t properly interfere with Jin.
‘This black… !’
Elona’s eyes widened. The moment the light emanated from her gin suddenly colored the space, her forgotten memories rushed in like water as if her dam burst.
These are not dark memories, as recalled by Zito.
What came to Elona’s mind now was the shining will and conviction of the people who tried to protect the world at that time.
It was the memory of the moment he decided to leave Zipple, guided by their light.
[Ah, Mr. In the end, it turns out like this.]
Runcandel Magical Sword
splitting the sun
As Jin took a step forward to swing his sword, a huge, cloudy shadow suddenly formed in the middle of the battlefield.
It was Jito’s real face. The power of splitting the sun forced Jito to reveal the truth he was hiding.
Jin swung Bradamante towards Zito’s true form with all his might.
Beyond Jito’s subspace, the entirety of hell was instantly colored with golden energy.
