73. Inclination of another (1)

“f*ck! Isn’t this too much?”

Profanity came out spontaneously as the series continued without a single error.

An arrow grazes my ear, and a spear blade extended from behind the shield strikes at the nape of my neck.

Fit!

The shallow line of blood, the moment the spear pole was cut in half by the spattered sword attack, swords swung from all directions.

Let’s twist our whole body and lift it up with all our might! Dust flew around with a metallic resonant sound.

Then, with the tip of his toe, he kicked the defenseless scruff of a Heretic Questioner with a surprised expression…

“….f*ck.”

…I didn’t put it up, but instead it was tucked deep into the side.

Wooddeuk

“Keheuk!”

The Heretic Questioner is thrown away and retired with the sound of his ribs breaking instead of his neck.

But even that was short-lived, and after hemoptyping a few times with a shallow silver light, he stood up and joined the formation.

What kind of zombie defense is this?

Unlike them, who really moved as if they would cut off my limbs, all I could do was passive defense and suppression, and the only thing I could do was to wield a trickle from the foreign press smiling with their arms crossed behind them.

These were people who did not know the truth and acted according to orders, and were not allowed to see blood.

I couldn’t even kill him, so I overpowered him awkwardly, but he quickly recovered and even rushed at me.

That doesn’t mean the number is small though.

Front, side, up, down, surrounded by people in all directions, and attacks are flying at the extreme of irrationality.

No matter how good a warrior’s body is, it can’t be shed without any damage. Starting with blood gushing from his forearm at the sword attack he couldn’t avoid, the wounds gradually began to increase on his body.

It was like a wolf in the forest slowly driving its prey into a corner, gradually draining its stamina.

The blood that flowed from his forehead covered his vision for an instant, and the opponent did not miss the gap.

Shoulders pierced in an instant, arrows piercing the abdomen and back, deep cuts and tattered tendons in the right hand and ankle.

A chain flew in, bound the Holy Sword, and pulled it out, causing it to fall to the ground.

I knelt in place with my wrists loosened and my ankles unable to give any more strength, but I didn’t stop.

Throwing his body away, he grabbed the Heretic Questioner’s clothes with his teeth and stretched them out.

“Mo.

A desperate attempt to hold on to even one person, even for a minute or a second.

Why can I see expressions of boredom behind the masks of the Heretic Questioners?

And finally, after all the sinews in the limbs were cut, the offensive stopped.

Numerous stab wounds were carved all over the body, the wounds widened and blood welled up, but I did not feel any pain.

From noble mtl dot com

I was just a little dizzy… And feeling a little relieved, I smiled involuntarily.

I took enough time.

I haven’t been able to catch all of them yet, but why don’t we focus on capturing more than 80% of them?

I was able to laugh because I earned my time by rolling on the floor, crawling, scattering soil, and doing things that would be unimaginable for a warrior.

At this rate, Yando, Florendo, and Irene would have gone far away.

As Isabel said, even if today is the day Irren dies, the situation has already changed considerably from the past.

Even small changes can change the future. This changes the future.

…Unlike in the past, at least one person made a choice for Irene.

I just hope Maria doesn’t make her wrong choices.

Isabel came closer and lifted the tip of my chin.

“Hmm, after running wild like that, it’s like this in the end.”

“… Now… What are you going to do?”

” Well. First of all… I was thinking of finding the body of the hydra, tearing it apart and showing it to the mother, but I changed my mind.”

In a whisper, whisper so that others cannot hear.

“Because I was interested. To you. Its will, its actions, its beliefs. Everything is so fragrant. To the extent that I want to swallow and eat it like this-“

As the hot breath blowing into my ears and the attention of the foreign press overflowed to the point that I fell to the floor, I got goose bumps all over my body and cooled down.

And the one who stopped Isabelle’s actions was none other than the Heretic Questioner, who returned after separately pursuing them.

“…I was not within the siege, Isabelle.”

“Yes? Didn’t you? Did you find all the reed fields?”

“I went back and looked back, but all I found was a field of reeds that had turned black.”

“It can’t be. There’s no way she wouldn’t exist… Even if she died by spitting out poison, her corpse would definitely remain…”

It seemed that they got out safely.

“That… Really… Didn’t work. All you want… No… Come on. Kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk.”

Blood from her throat was coughed out.

I couldn’t help laughing out of joy.

The fact that I did the right thing as my heart told me and changed the future brought me laughter.

And for some reason, her expression subtly changed, Isabelle looked up at the sky.

“Why? Why didn’t fate go the way it was supposed to? No matter where you go, you will have to be in the reed field…”

And-

It’s cheap-.

A ray of wind blew through everyone’s bodies.

Small sparks rose from the bodies of the Heretic Questioners.

The same situation as the backlash phenomenon between the magical powers that occurred when Yan lifted up Irene’s bouquet earlier.

Isabelle hardened her expression and stretched out her hand toward the sky.

“Is it a magic wave now? And… Wasn’t it shot from the ground?”

With Isabelle’s words, everyone’s eyes gradually turn toward the sky.

All of them were making faces of disbelief.

Far away, a small dot was shining brightly.

At first glance, I could have thought it was a small star, but I looked at the sky with my mouth open one by one at the sight of the star growing bigger and emitting light.

It became a light source enough to dye the night sky pure white and was gradually heading this way.

Only then did I realize what it was.

“…Meteor?”

**********

Yan sighed.

How did you get caught up in this?

But unlike that sigh, his hands and eyes were constantly moving.

Countless magic circles repeatedly appeared and disappeared behind Yan, who floated up in the air in a detailed calculation that did not allow even a thousandth of a second error.

And then, the tips of her wands radiated as if they were burning extremely brightly, and gathered at one point in an instant.

Now was the starting point, the last line to stop this magic.

Magic that cannot be stopped once tried.

Meteor Strike.

Originally, it was standard to call a meteorite from beyond the universe… But there was no object caught in the orbit, and it was a serious waste of mana.

“Why do I have to do such a troublesome thing?”

How to fill with gums when there are no teeth.

A small stick was pulled out from Yan’s unique subspace.

Originally, it was simply a white metal for heat resistance testing, but now its purpose has been decided differently.

Countless enchantments were applied to that small stick.

In order to withstand as much weight and strength as possible, mana is pushed to the limit and heated to the fullest.

A stick is placed on the prepared magic circle in the night sky, and countless acceleration magic circles are overlapped.

In addition to the explosive momentary acceleration, all the atmosphere at the entrance was blown off to avoid obstructing the course at the moment of launch.

Silence flows.

All that’s left now is to push the stick slightly.

With just that, it was clear that the ground that this attack could reach would suffer devastating damage.

An irresistible blow of calamity that could swept away even the foolish warriors who were trying to save them and reduced them to ashes with the slightest mistake.

But Yan took a deep breath and looked ahead.

Wizards do not believe in God.

The only thing you believe in is yourself.

A wave of magical power spreads out and searches for it.

Set a goal, a person to hit…

“I don’t make mistakes…!”

Took.

Pushed.

”…[Meteor Strike]”

The stick pushed by the little finger began to accelerate slowly.

1..2…4…8…16…

Leaving behind the night sky that gradually began to shine brightly with the speed increasing in multiples, Yan followed and… Finally reached it.

Particles in the atmosphere burn and become plasma, leaving a long tail that shines as if it were about to set the world on fire.

Just before the meteor, which had become so bright that the shadows disappeared from everything on the ground, touched the braid… Yan remembered the conversation with Irene.

“Wizard, please prepare the biggest magic possible. It’s huge, so it’s magic enough to make anyone feel threatened.”

“…Big ones? It’s big, there are a lot of things…”

There are over 20 things that come to mind right away.

“However, you must never harm others.”

“Huh?”

It was completely unexpected.

“So, we need a big and beautiful magic, so we feel threatened, but we must never harm people? Why are you bothering me like that…”

“…Those people are not at fault.”

Looking down the hill, numerous torches were flickering.

“I was just led by a false belief.”

At the child’s wish, Yan let out a deep sigh and thought of a few things.

But all I can think of is a mass destruction spell that cannot be canceled midway…

“And if you have to feel threatened… Oh, there is one… Ghmm…”

Yan slurred his words.

The magic required delicate control that no one could imitate.

Adjustment that even the witch candidate herself cannot guarantee.

“…But why should I threaten you?”

“Tachogyeongsa (打草驚蛇)”

“Tah….What?”

It was something I couldn’t understand.

“hehehe, that’s what the goddess said.”

“I don’t know a thing like Newspeak…”

A fiery meteor hits the ground.

On the ground, on the ground, with the search magic, Isabel was accurately pinned into the target.

“Wizard…!”

Raises her hand.

And what appeared there was a huge shadow that could not be seen as a human being, with its tentacles lifted up to protect Isabel from an unprecedented threat.

When the incomparable energy wrapped around Isabel to protect her-

Beep-

Kwaguawang!

Just a few tens of meters in front, the meteor evaporated simultaneously with a small shock wave.

It didn’t reach.

Very exquisitely, just before reaching the ground, everything was burned by friction.

However, as if the aftermath of the huge kinetic energy contained there was unavoidable, everyone fell backwards at the same time as the circular waveform.

The ground shakes and the grass and trees fall.

When everyone stood up with their hands in front of the flying dust, what they witnessed was…

“Isabelle…?”

It was Isabel’s hard expression, surrounded by things that could not be seen as of this world.

“Damn Goddess b*tch…”

A huge branch of time stretches toward a new future, not a fixed destiny.

The incarnation of a foreign god finally revealed its hidden figure, and Yan lightly descended in front of the hero from the sky.

No one stopped.

“What kind of fool is this.”

I wiped the warrior’s face covered in blood and dust with my magician’s clothes.

“Like an idiot…Why did you come back…”

“Then, why are you like this?”

Normally, Yan would get bored and distance herself, but now she didn’t care about being stained with blood.

Then, with a slight smile, he whispered the words in his heart, the words that he would not have been able to say if he had just run away.

“I’m here to save you, foolish warrior.”
