chapter 40
40 – Three of Us (2)
[“Ah, I met a dangerous guy.”]
A foreign news outlet chuckled and recited that.
[“I can’t believe you maintained that level of spirit even against that Cartesia… “I’m not usually a guy.”]
A young black hole, only thousands of years old.
There was a monster that used the inside of that place as a curtain and space, looking down on the entire universe.
Entropy was rewound around the black hole, and time was reversed accordingly, and heavy particles were repeatedly created and annihilated in pairs.
Inside a black hole that looks like a cold metal sphere.
Foreign media constantly repeated laughing and regretting.
[“Eidel von Rhineland.”]
He held his body as slimy as mercury and stuck his head out beyond the event horizon.
[“…… Let’s try it out.”]
As soon as those words were spoken, the incarnation he controlled began to move.
***
Snakes, lizards, scorpions, mushrooms and even humans.
The strange-looking monster, a mixture of all kinds of objects, actually looked closer to an incarnation than a monster.
Was my guess wrong?
[— The ‘God of Wisdom and Curiosity’ is silent on your questions.]
It looks like he has no intention of telling me.
In the first place, it was something I had to overcome alone.
I continued to run northwest, gripping the caliper tightly.
Given the circumstances, the path that the incarnate body passed through was clearly visible.
But that wasn’t the only evidence.
There were dozens of dead or seriously injured swordsmen in the path the incarnation passed through.
Everyone’s shoulder epaulettes were blue, which meant that they had densely deployed A-level prosecutors as assistant directors.
Despite the amount of preparation on the part of the academy, it is all being lost in the end.
“What are you doing, S-class?” .”
As soon as I said this to myself, I saw a purple epaulette.
I quickly approached the person wearing the epaulettes.
And before long, we headed northwest again. This is because it was already impossible to have a conversation.
With this, it becomes clear.
The monster from a moment ago is an incarnation.
It cannot be killed using normal methods.
My steps became even faster.
***
10 Minutes before Eidel and Seti arrived. Rustilla joined the scene with amazing leg strength.
I quickly raised my sword and heated the blade to create condensed plasma.
And I hit it.
Kwaang-!!
With that, the life of the swordsman who was about to enter the monster’s mouth was saved.
Soon Lu Stila felt a tingling sensation in his hands.
“What are you?”
In front of Lu Stila, a girl wearing a white scarf landed with her acrobatics.
Zernia von Adelbein.
She immediately took a stance, holding her rapier.
Rustilla also responded back, preparing for the next attack.
“Rustilla Kersil.”
“Kersil? “This is my first time hearing about this family.”
Zernya actually knew the Kersil family, but because of her twisted personality, she hinted that she did not know.
Rustilla did not move.
Her eyes were only on the monster.
“…… “It’s not fun.”
“Keep your head straight. “That guy, no matter how bad he is, he’s at a semi-A or S level.”
“Hmm.”
Zernya, who had nothing else to say, accepted it with her hum.
In fact, Zernia said she was confident that she would win and that in the first five minutes she pounced.
However, his determination is unexpectedly strong. At least he wasn’t a guy who could be classified as B-class.
Rustilla’s words had some credibility.
“We have to stop it before the damage gets worse.”
“What are the academic staff doing? “You can’t suppress a scum like that.”
Although eight Class A swordsmen arrived three minutes after Zernia engaged in combat, she died without doing much.
“I heard it from Eidel. “S-class prosecutors are coming soon.”
“S class… ? “If that’s the case, a higher level person would have to come, right?”
Lu Stilla closed her mouth.
Meanwhile, the monster was wreaking havoc in the northern forest, going back and forth between them and the other students.
Even though the two girls did not exchange opinions separately, they had the same thoughts.
‘We cannot increase the casualties any further than this.’
‘We can’t let bastards make their majors by chance.’
Attract monsters towards them.
The monster heads east.
Lu Stila threw her sword strike as if she were slashing.
The monster heads east again.
This time, Zernia stabs, leaving a slight hole.
As the aggro continued, the monster turned around, moving its grotesquely twisted legs.
‘It’s easy for monsters to move in open areas.’
‘Taking advantage of the terrain.’
The monster is running at crazy speed. As if they had made a promise, the two ran towards a place filled with trees.
The monster’s body was so large that it could trample on a significant amount of vegetation. But it was enough. They made surprise attacks by relying on bushes that had not yet been damaged or the occasional large tree.
‘Hit…’ .’
‘… It falls out.’
Hit and Run strategy.
It was the greatest fight the weak could wage against the strong.
Lustila felt her throat burning at this, and Zernia felt very uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, the tactic itself was effective, and it was successful in keeping the monster away from the clearing.
The problem was that they had nowhere else to go.
‘It’s a cliff. ‘What should I do now?’
‘You don’t look stupid enough to let me go.’
Rustila looked at Zernia and spoke to her.
“Trying to throw it off a cliff… ?”
“That’s really stupid.”
“What?”
“Look at what he’s doing.”
Rustilla’s eyebrows narrowed. At some point, the monster slowed down and was slowly squeezing the two people. They even uprooted nearby trees to secure visibility.
“He must be smarter than you.”
“But it’s worth at least trying…” .”
“Do you think you will die easily if you fall? “All I could do was open a few shallow holes with my sword.”
“You can do it. If I hit the ether as hard as I can… !”
Zernya clicked her tongue and cut her off.
“I saw you from a while ago and your sword skills were extremely sloppy. Was there no one to guide you? “Did you teach yourself?”
“Yes.”
“Well, he comes from a decent family, so he must have at least taken lessons. Even so, what doesn’t work is talent… Wait, what?”
“I learned it on my own.”
Kugugu Goong!
While the two were talking, the monster began to speed up. Rustilla and Zernia spread out left and right.
And in front of it was a cliff….
The monster showed amazing turning ability and changed course once again.
‘Now is the time.’
Rustilla moved nimbly with a split-second decision. She intuitively found an opening and slammed the plasma into it.
He was beaten and discharged.
“Kiik!”
The monster groaned weakly.
“It’s done!”
“You idiot! “If you hit him once, he’ll fall back!!”
“… No!”
It ends here.
[— 5000 Coins paid.]
It will definitely take your breath away. With that in mind, Lustila paid the majority of her remaining coins to her mastermind.
What was left was to receive technology in return.
Teook-!
The hidden monster’s hand first snatched Rustilla’s body.
“aaah… !”
“That idiot.”
Zernya clicked her tongue and kicked her earth. The sword that Rustilla had embedded in her amethyst eyes was reflected.
‘Now that it’s like this, I’m finishing it.’
Since she was preoccupied with Rustila, she decided that she wouldn’t be able to pay attention to her for two or three seconds.
As a result.
It was a wrong judgment.
Like a cicada, its black abdomen scratched, tearing the net-like structure, and hundreds of pairs of eyeballs popped out.
‘Even on her side… There was an organ of sight… ?’
Zernya immediately covered her mouth. She was so disgusting just to look at.
Nevertheless, she stabbed her rapier without hesitation, but because her posture was disturbed, it did not go in properly.
“Damn… !”
Teook-!
Her hand protrudes from the other side and grasps Zernya’s torso.
“Why am I such a bastard!”
I later regretted rushing in like a moth to a momentary exhilaration. This makes her no different from Lou Stilla.
As soon as the monster grabbed the two people, it opened its mouth wide. Beyond the mechanical mouth, sticky tar and slithering mercury were visible.
The monster’s mouth grins and creates an unknown language.
[“Alright, eat, eat, wet, ni, da, ah…” ….”]
The appearance of a monster that definitely belongs to Maxwell’s army.
Even if I tried to move my body, it was not enough.
Captured body. Slender strength. It’s a miracle just that my body isn’t crushed.
I soon feel like my body is gradually going down. The monster is dragging them to hell using its long, rugged arms.
Zernyado, Rustillado.
I thought as I closed my eyes tightly.
‘In times like this, if someone comes to help….’
‘… You must be confident that you will be good to that person for the rest of your life.’
It was then.
[— I paid 13,500 Fron.]
[— EX Level Transformation: Multiple Mental Failure]
The momentum, like being hit by a bullet, penetrated the monster’s lower abdomen.
That prickly feeling soon spread to the two girls as well. As a result, Zernia’s vision went dark.
[— The ‘God of Purity and Tenacity’ protects you from the attack effects of foreign powers!]
A salty taste lingered in Rustilla’s mouth. Blood scent. Her lungs are congested as if she had run at full speed.
Nevertheless, because of the constellation, I was able to maintain my sanity.
The next moment, what was reflected in Rustilla’s aquamarine eyes….
“…… Eidel!”
A friend wielding a caliper… It was like that.
