58. boy king (4)
●
“Are you going to do it alone?”
Read at NovelNext. com
Just before the golden liquor was poured out, such a question flew from Balkasus.
Even from this person’s point of view, the difference in combat power between the two is at the level of an ant and an elephant.
“Does that make sense?”
Of course, no country could do such a thing without even the means at hand.
So, roughly around this time, there are those who were called.
It’s time to arrive slowly.
“Waaagh—!”
“Kyaaa!”
[Whoaaah!]
“…”
One scream is colorful.
At the same time as the voices of the two and the letters of the one were mixed, a group of people flew from below towards the balcony on the top floor of the clock tower.
[Use ‘Skill: Stigma’. ]
Kwa-dang-tang-tang, the guys who fly in are covered with a shield through the built-in skill of Ultrima.
At the same time as the divine power shield, which was noticeably thicker than the previously used divine shield, covered it, they bounced around as they bumped into walls and floors.
“This, never again, never again! Since he’s an expert, it’s really a bummer to lead! Who in the world can be skilled at something like this!”
And as soon as the protective shield was lifted, Elijah, the first to run out from the inside, gave a whimper with a look full of resentment.
Certainly, since it is a job where you use your body, you must have good stamina.
Lucien and YuRia’s complexion turned blue and they almost crawled because they were moving.
“It’s worth doing, but it’s tough.”
[Yes, this much is quite doable…]
YuRia, who was trying to agree with my words, covered her mouth as she couldn’t even get the letters to float in the air.
It seems to be holding back nausea.
“…”
yes. Certainly, the safety rules are all discarded.
What I used was the catapult that I and this guy used before when we entered the other world.
Shall I give you a name later? I think I’ll get it right at this point.
“…I was told to just specify a trajectory, and fly within five minutes to a place a few hundred meters above the ground without any stabilizing device. tough? Umsaaah
“…”
Seeing him grinding his teeth, I honestly don’t have much to say.
All I did was just the three of us hugging each other, hugging each other as much as we could, and telling them to ‘fly’ all the way to here as a group.
On the contrary, you should be grateful that you followed such crazy instructions without saying anything.
“It can’t be helped.”
I smile and turn around.
“Even so, you’re the one who shouldn’t be called quickly.”
If it was even a few minutes late, then it was game over.
The time I have is 10 minutes.
“…”
I glanced around to check the ‘Byeolcheol Circlet’ that Yuria was wearing.
It seems that Professor Vulkan of the Faculty of Production put some effort into it. Right now, while these guys were huddled together and flying right away, there was no sign of danger.
While it is ‘wearing’ and ‘operating’, the curse of severance applied to Yuria is extremely weakened. It’s good enough to see that it’s temporarily unlocked.
The effect is simple.
While wearing that, Yuria can only apply a curse to ‘what she is about to cut’.
It feels like you can use the Curse of Severance as an offensive buff.
“Lucien.”
“…Balchus.”
While pondering such thoughts, the boy king chuckled when he found Lucien arousing himself.
“Didn’t you say you were cooperating with me in the past? I’m sorry.”
“…”
“Well, that’s a joke. Still, I’m glad my brother looks healthy.”
Lucien closed her eyes for a moment and lowered her head.
It’s like feeling guilty.
Probably because this person also knows why Balcasus wants death.
The souls of those who burn their lives to make themselves golden are bound by those who inscribe the golden arts on their bodies.
Balcasus seeks death in order to free the souls of the people dwelling in his body.
“…Your kingdom will be able to be saved.”
Then, the saintess brought out such words.
“Because this man will make it.”
“…”
Balkasus nodded slowly.
“yes.”
The voice that followed was not at all like that.
The sun goes completely over the ridge, and the background is covered with darkness everywhere.
The true nature of Balcasus is revealed.
It is a bizarre figure that seems to melt and flow without even the shape. As if completely assimilated into the darkness that covered the entire world.
In a way, it seemed to rule them all.
“…”
Elijah, who was looking there, let out a shallow moan and grabbed the handle of the sword.
My hands are shaking slightly. there is no way you don’t know What phase of the monster he is facing now has reached.
“Can you beat that?”
Even though Elijah asked so.
“If only you listen to me carefully.”
answer simply.
To be more precise.
“No one can beat that but me.”
in the first place.
Among the ancient figures of Sera, I am the first human to break through the ‘battle’ route with Balcasus.
Everyone around me said it was crazy, but in the end I did it.
‘No, because…’
This person, for a boss, I like him very much.
After thinking about how to ‘use’ Valcasus efficiently, this was the only one.
So, isn’t there something that was promised before?
It is used as a ‘subordinate’.
“…Really, even if this person fell into the water, his mouth would be frozen, very much.”
While Elijah smiled and said so.
“Then, the conversation is over.”
A miasma rises from the breath of Balcasus.
It is, so to speak, an attack signal.
[ A crisis situation is detected. ]
[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]
[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]
“Come on, shall we begin?”
“coming!”
With Lucien’s voice.
Golden wine poured from all sides.
●
For thousands of years, the battlefields that Balcasus passed through were countless.
In order to achieve his only wish, death, he may have searched for the environment with the highest probability.
The curse inflicted by the man with the snake’s tongue, which brought about the “devil’s calamity” to the kingdom, was very vicious.
He must, in a ‘fair 1:1 situation’, die through ‘all-out combat’.
Otherwise, never die under any circumstances. that kind of curse
-Since you’re the king, shouldn’t you die a little more special?
I’ve never forgotten the loathsome voice of the one who cursed the realm. Balkasus smiled bitterly.
Even so.
If you are a king, you must think of your people first. Revenge is another matter. Right now, it’s just freeing them from the bondage of their own bodies.
‘But, it’s a nonsense story.’
How could it be?
It is an absurd assumption to fight a battle with a man with millions of forbidden arts stuck in one body.
Even the army of the dead that now covered the entire academy was nothing more than a spell that could not bring out even half of his strength.
But where in the world is there a guy who can receive that on a 1:1 basis?
I thought so and cooperated with the pioneers. I thought the only possibility was that person.
The leader of the devil worshipers. A monster armed with insidiousness that knows no bounds.
The ‘floor’ was so thick that even he couldn’t see it.
But, now.
he first time
“…under.”
I was looking for that possibility from others.
A person who has the ability to kill himself.
From a kid who couldn’t even fill half of his given life.
-!
He closed his eyes in place and activated several gins sequentially.
Forbidden magic is a technique that causes a phenomenon based on a technique already implanted in the body. Like other abilities, it doesn’t require any form, chanting, or mediation.
And in that way, what appeared in an instant were a few spheres that seemed to sprinkle rotting darkness around them.
each one, everything.
If an ordinary magician were to try something similar, it was a high-level spell that wouldn’t be strange even if his brain was fried.
Considering the level of these humans confronting him, it is not a knife to catch a cow to catch a chicken, but a meteorite.
It is not a matter of responding or not. With just this single blow, the opponent will surely collapse. Thousands of years of combat experience tell us that this is close to certainty.
but.
The protection of the saint intervenes in the flying golden magic, obstructing the path. The divine protection created by a woman with enormous divine power, enough to be declared ‘the one chosen by the gods’ in the Holy Land, collides with the sphere of darkness.
Of course, even so, it is not an opponent. It is a monster that was impossible to do because it was ‘too strong’ even after chasing death for thousands of years. No matter how strong it is, it cannot be matched by the power of a single human being.
However, that alone obviously slowed down the ‘speed’ of the sphere. There is a gap to respond.
And just for the fleeting moment created like that, at some point, a girl wearing a star iron circlet stood in front of the orb and pulled out a sword.
‘That sword…’
I remember seeing it somewhere.
I probably remember it as being an old sword.
sever. A sword that contains the oldest curse in human history.
That said, it means that he can ‘cut’ enough of that sphere he created.
In fact, let the woman swing the sword with a short burst of energy. All spheres within range were split in two.
The counterattack that followed was as sharp as a razor blade.
“Suck!”
Out of sight, an orange-haired girl approached him with light movements. He, too, has heard the name. contemporary warrior candidate. Originally, even the pioneers were most wary of this side.
At the moment when the spell is activated and canceled, there will always be a gap for the caster. The same goes for the ability to reduce those disadvantages to the extreme, such as gold magic.
Of course, at most, it is a moment that only applies to moments beyond the decimal point beyond the unit of seconds, but the girl’s sword stabbed precisely at that moment.
-!
“Chit!”
However, it is undone by the ‘auto-protection’ forbidden art nearby.
Even so, the timing was terrifyingly accurate. To the point where even Balcassus’ spine stood up.
This time, too, the opponent did not collapse.
It’s not just that it doesn’t collapse, but a proper ‘work and defense’ is being established.
‘…I’ve calculated it.’
It’s a perfect line.
A saintess who weakens his attacks to give him time to react, a cursed girl who demonstrates absolute defense against all forbidden arts based on her ability to cut anything that comes within range, and a candidate for a hero who will attack him with the lightest movements.
The Seer deliberately ordered the work to be done one day earlier than the scheduled date in order to thwart the man’s plan.
Nonetheless, even in this situation.
He came up with the ‘optimal’ combination to deal with him.
in that short time.
“How wonderful!”
he exclaimed.
A battle takes place. come true properly
Humans who would not have even been allowed to stand upright in front of him normally!
‘This is everything…!’
And at the center, there is one human being who is in control of the whole situation.
His gaze was on Dowd Campbell, who was standing back in the back row.
At first glance, it looks like they’re backing off to a safe location and doing nothing.
Every directive he gave on the spot was balancing this battle.
Accuracy, speed, and even a flash of ingenuity. none of them are flawless
‘No, no. It’s nothing like that.’
Balkasus laughed fiercely and repeated the thought.
The godlike god that the other side is currently playing is not at a level that can be dismissed with such an obvious modifier.
That man is the core of this battle.
A saint, a girl with the oldest curse in human history, a candidate for a hero, and even Balcasus himself.
I am not the master of this battle. It is not the one who is showing the strongest influence.
That man is single.
Because he had been bridging the ‘gap’ between these new chicks and himself, worth thousands of years and millions of spells!
“Take this too!”
Again, the attack ensues.
They are much more powerful than the gold magic that flew before. Unlike an attack that simply flew in the form of a sphere, a corruption spell that covered the entire space.
“Oh, crazy-!”
At the same time that the candidate for the hero let out such a scream, green rays like condensed poison were emitted in all directions.
-!
The ceiling above the clock tower collapsed, and intense light covered all directions.
Among the golden arts he possesses, it is an item that is close to an extra-large scale. It was released by condensing within this space the powerful forbidden magic that could demolish even the walls of a castle that had been built as it was.
but.
this time too.
“Real teacher, you know how to pay back all the hard work you’ve done!”
The warrior candidate soared up from the collapsed rubble and threw a sword at him again.
A hot sensation brushes your cheeks.
It was the first effective hit that hit him during the battle.
“…”
Balkasus brushed his cheek with a blank expression.
There was blood.
A red liquid that I can’t even remember when I last saw it.
“…under.”
A short exhalation leaked from his mouth.
Because I suddenly realized.
even if you speed up.
no matter how much force you put in.
“hahahaha…”
chasing after Doesn’t break.
With him, it is possible to go head-to-head.
no, rather.
you start to push yourself
If you go to that end, obviously.
It may end in his defeat.
“hahahaha-!”
Balcassus burst into laughter.
“This won’t be the end. I can show you more!”
yes. I know for sure.
A man who is not just a mouthful, obviously!
“Sometime, try killing me!”
It doesn’t fit the content at all.
It was a voice full of joy.
●
Because of the brain that has been heated to the limit, the lower part of the eye is hot.
‘…Really, this, crazy…!’
It’s been a long time since I’ve worn my hair like this. I really feel like dying
Even while maximizing reflexes with the moment-by-moment focus of the inspection, he responded by squeezing out any gaps.
Calculating the movement of four people at the same time according to the pattern of the boss battle was harder than expected.
To the extent that even I would have failed long ago if I hadn’t removed the ‘restriction’ in advance by putting the star iron circlet on YuRia.
“…”
Take a breath and look ahead. Another pattern. A few gins made with golden art radiate light again.
Read at NovelNext. com
Just looking at the form and time of creation, it calculates and calculates what type of attack it is.
A slash of darkness that covers the entire horizontal distance. 3 or more if not more.
“Lucien. 37 ranks and 112 prayers. Pick 4 and spray them in each direction. Yuria. Follow the trail of the prayer text and wait. Elijah. Down for 3 seconds, stand up and take 3 steps forward.”
It is a pattern that has continued to this day.
Lucien weakens the attack, Yuria defends it, and Elijah takes advantage of the gap to slowly accumulate damage to the opponent.
Pattern ends at 4 seconds.
Prepare for the next workshop again.
“…It’s good to hold on well!”
Elijah let out such a scream.
“Is he going to die? How many cuts have I made so far!”
“I can’t kill you.”
“…”
I smiled at Elijah, who was glaring at me, and continued talking.
“You’re saying that you can’t kill me if you don’t do it like now.”
What I am doing now is, so to speak, cutting down a mountain with a pickaxe.
It’s been cut, but it takes a long time without limit. There is no practicality.
It’s more like a build-up.
“What are you talking about?”
“People are trickier than you think.”
Especially if something continues to happen over and over again.
We never promised each other to do that, but we take it for granted.
therefore.
Right now, in this studio, I intentionally lead it ‘simply’ like this.
“…”
check the watch
Elijah, who had a look on his face asking what he meant, didn’t have time to explain anything, and continued with the next instruction.
“come!”
2 minutes remaining. At this point, the time has come for something you’ve been waiting for.
The reason why I set the time as ’10 minutes’ is because I can unconditionally see this pattern at least once within that time.
Dark thorns that sway and form in all directions.
‘right.’
This is the pattern I’ve been waiting for.
This is the most important phase of this boss fight.
Unlike other patterns, this is a pattern that blocks the other person’s ‘view’ as well.
“…”
so. I’m also preparing a norimsu here.
Lucien saw it and immediately created a prayer text. It’s the same up to here.
but.
[Use ‘Skill: Proof of Faith’. ]
[All stat additions are converted to ‘endurance’ and ‘divine power’. ]
[Use ‘Skill: Stigma’. ]
This time, a little ‘different element’ is added.
By activating two of Ultrima’s built-in skills at the same time, it gives much more strength to the defense of forbidden arts.
“Wake up, you bastard!”
[…they don’t even call me by name anymore?]
Wake up Caliban, who muttered sleepily, and activate other skills in succession.
[‘Skill: Imaginary World’ is activated! ]
[ Shares ‘Skill: Proof of Faith’ to targets within range. ]
And the defense of the golden arts that follows. counterattack right away.
Balkasus was not an idiot either, so he was anticipating the counter and preparing various defense techniques.
The defense, as it has been until now, was originally prepared for the ‘attack of Elijah’.
but.
-!
-!!!
Unlike before, the attacker doesn’t back down on such taboos. Rather, they approach it by ‘slicing’ everything.
“…!”
Surprised, Valcasus instinctively looked to the side that defended the golden arts.
It was a completely different situation from what has been going on so far.
But, on that side.
“…wow, this, really, sir, later, readiness…”
‘Elijah’, who received all the buffs and managed to defend them, was muttering such a sentence with an exhausted expression.
If so, how many people are left?
“A surprise appearance.”
break through the darkness
Yuria, whom I threw by the leash, jumped out.
only for this blow.
So far, I simplified the pattern to this point and ‘learned’ it from that person.
The landing point is just one step away from Balcasus.
And the street in there. Like I said before.
It is the firepower that can cut ‘all’ characters in the scenario with one shot.
The star-iron circlet sparkles. Unlike before, it means that Yuria recognized the object in front of her eyes as ‘something to be cut’.
“this…!”
At the same time as Balkasus uttered embarrassing words.
The disconnector that jumped out like lightning penetrated the heart of Balkasus.
