secret(1)

Light and lightning collided and a huge roar shook the cave.

The lightning that pierced the back and the bullet that struck the chest.

Balthazar’s new model was shaken by the onslaught that poured forward and backward.

“Die!”

“Kuh…!”

Skadi, who had thrust a spear of lightning, climbed onto Balthazar’s back and crushed him.

“「The clawing wind of turbulence!」”

In an instant, the sharpened wind raked the place where Skadi had been.

However, the swift movements of the snow leopard glided away from the wind and swiftly moved to my side.

“Kheung. I thought I could break the shoulder.”

“Are you okay.”

“Ha. I can’t even move at this level!”

She snorted and burned her fighting spirit, and glared at Balthazar with fiercely open eyes.

Again, it was intense hostility.

“Kuuu…?”

Balthazar rose from his seat.

It was an unexpected surprise, but he scattered the lightning bolt with a simple flick of his hand.

“That little boy has grown up a lot.”

“Shut up!”

“Khehehehe…”

He let out a laugh as if he was pretending to be amused.

“They said they were friends, so this is all. It doesn’t tickle.”

“Really? Then just wait and see… I’ll do it again and again…”

“Your parents will sacrifice you, so they begged you to spare them.”

“······!”

In an instant, Skadi’s clenched fist trembled.

Her pursed lips quivered and her eyes lit up with fire.

Looking at the burning fragments of hatred, Baltazar laughed and said,

“I’ll make you spit out the same sound soon.”

“you···.”

Skadi’s whole body was shaking.

It looked like he was about to lose his temper.

Balthazar’s provocation was effectively worked as the hatred was deep.

It’s not that I don’t understand her feelings, but it’s a situation where you shouldn’t be blinded by anger right now.

So, I decided to cool off that hot head first.

I reached out and grabbed her stiff tail.

Kwap-

“Kiyaaah!!

The overturned eyes regained their light.

“Don’t get excited.”

“Ah, okay, let me go with this… hee hee…”

Was it an effective measure?

The reaction is pretty intense.

I let go of her tail and interfered with her consciousness through mind control.

“”Your heart will be at peace””

He calmly calmed down the images that were seething with anger.

To be precise, it paralyzed the emotions of ‘anger’ or ‘excitement’, but the effect itself was outstanding.

Her eyes widened, and she tilted her head with her crinkled purple eyes.

“Oh…? Wow, I don’t think my heart has ever been so calm…?”

“Then prepare to fight properly.”

He picked up a revolver, raised his holy power, and fired at Baltazar.

He’s not an idiot either, so he won’t wait for us like that.

While we were talking, he was gathering demon energy, so he shot a staff member and disrupted the spell.

“Tsk… Looks like the skit is already over.”

Having given up large-scale techniques, he redistributed the scattered demonic energy and developed a spell.

The voice continued, and the attack of the ‘Sword Spirit’ rushed in this direction.

“”Memories of a swarming madman””

He hardened his eyes as he watched the rush of curse words.

The nature and intention of the attack can be inferred from Balthazar’s commandment.

This is a mental attack. Perhaps it is an attribute that touches on the trauma of the past.

In response, he developed mind control and blocked the approaching spirit.

“…I will block mental attacks.”

As he spoke, his consciousness became dizzy and he gritted his teeth.

A tingling pain overtook my skull, and it felt like the tip of my mind was being torn apart as if it had been put in a shredder.

The power of the corps commander who regained his original strength was stronger than he thought.

It seemed that he had no energy left to devote to battle.

I have to do my best just to counter the psychic attack, so I can’t help but have gaps, but fortunately I have someone by my side to fill those gaps.

“Where are you going to leave me, you bastard!”

The staff, wrapped in lightning, rushed towards Baltazar.

A technique that squeezes a huge amount of mana into the staff and amplifies it repeatedly with the rotating body kit.

A blow that was as powerful as it was simple collided with Baltazar’s staff.

Kwaaang—!!

The sky shook and a roar hit all directions.

The clash between Arch Wizard and Corps Commander was accompanied by a huge aftermath.

“This damn cat…!”

“It’s a leopard, you idiot!!”

Boom! Kwaaang!

The world turned upside down every time staff clashed with staff.

Earthshafts shattered, caverns vibrated, cracks splintered in wide cavities.

It was a chaos drawn by the clash of pure power and power.

“…I guess it’s the 9th circle.”

It’s because he usually behaves badly, but the power of Arch Wizard was definitely great.

It’s like being able to fight with a corps commander with no restrictions.

Of course, there was a side to not arranging the consumption of mana.

Although Skadi had a lot of magical power, it was nothing compared to Balthazar, the commander of the corps.

If they fought like this, it was obvious that Skadi’s magic would run out first.

After that, all that awaited was defeat.

‘Buy time until the rest arrives.’

If you are pushed out in quality, you have to push in numbers.

It will take at least 30 minutes for the remaining four to dismantle the barrier and enter, so in the meantime I decided to attack Baltazar’s mental attacks.

“「Calculation」…「Acceleration」”

As if suggesting, he took control of his own mind.

This is to dismantle the structure of mental attacks, go against the flow and burrow back into his mind, attacking him from the inside.

Because it is the task of digging into the principle of the spirit and interpreting the sympathetic nervous system of the ‘ghost tribe’, a huge amount of computing power had to be mobilized, and I needed to overclock the computing power forcibly using holy power and magic.

The burden on the body is not small, but now is not the time to worry about that.

“Damn it! Yujin Kang… I can’t get out of my head!”

“It’s a sound that doesn’t even begin.”

Although his mana was quickly depleted, he continued to attack without stopping.

This is one of the few opportunities to bring the sympathetic nervous system information that the corps commander has.

The commander of the corps is the only one who has kept the information of the nervous system of that race as the ‘original’.

Of course, it was several times more efficient than interpreting against the upper class or the highest class.

The only time he had had such an opportunity in his lifetime was to face Diablo just once before he died.

I had no intention of missing this opportunity.

“Vicky, the snow leopard’s child.”

“Fuck you!”

“These kites are in pairs…”

How would it feel to have the entire sympathetic nervous system dismantled?

I don’t know because I’m not a Witchbeast, but I don’t think it’s a very pleasant feeling.

Read at noblemtl.com

Just looking at Balthazar, who was so angry and trying to dig into me, that’s the case.

However, each attempt is thwarted by Skadi.

Even though it was a short time, the power of the 9th Circle Arch Wizard was on par with Balthazar.

“You did well to bring me.”

Even the sediment of ‘enemies’ was deeply dented, so it couldn’t be the best matchup table.

It would have been better if the balance of power had been perfectly balanced, but it was a bit unreasonable to hope that far with the corps commander in front of him.

“Kuh…!”

10 minutes. 20 minutes.

As time passed, the scars on Skadi and Balthazar’s bodies increased.

As much as Skadi was scratched and tangled, Balthazar’s robes were torn in places, and black air was flowing.

“…If you had grown more, I might have become the dangerous one.”

“What do you say? It’s not even a chore to eat you alone like this!?”

“Your recklessness is too much, princess of a ruined country.”

Baltazar smiled and pointed his staff at Skadi.

“20%. The power I, who descended into my dimension, consumed against your strength.”

“·······.”

“We still have a long way to go.”

Skadi bit her lip in resentment.

The feeling of seeing a wall you can’t get over despite your hard work is really shitty.

But even if it’s embarrassing, there’s no need to worry right now.

Because she’s already done everything she could.

“Leave the rest to me.”

“to···?”

She replied with a puzzled face, but the questioning did not follow.

Skadi and I are now connected by the sympathetic nervous system.

We were able to convey each other’s intentions without having to speak.

Recognizing the plan conveyed through the ritual, she licked her lips and stepped back.

“Are you going out now, Shinigami? I guess the plot behind the scenes is over?”

Balthazar was relaxed.

He will know that my fighting style is not a head-to-head match, but an onslaught consisting of a solid build-up.

It’s comfortable nonetheless. In other words, being confident.

No matter what I decorate, I have the confidence to break through it head-on.

“What you’ve been doing with my sympathetic nervous system has been quite troublesome, but it seems impossible to break my rigid consciousness system with your power.”

“·······.”

That’s not wrong.

The sympathetic nervous system is closely connected to the subject’s mind, and if it can be broken down, it can deal a great blow to the subject’s mental system as well.

It would be even more effective for Balthazar, who uses a ‘curse’ similar to magic.

Curses also use spells, and the subject that forms and calculates the spells is the spirit.

However, as much as it is an important spirit, the strength it has is also unparalleled.

To the extent that my pitiful mana is all I can do to scrape the surface.

So, with my magical power.

“Even Diablo died with such guts, but I didn’t learn anything from it.”

“This is not Earth, Reaper. You have not regained your full strength, and there are no ‘old companions’ to help you. You have no chance.”

“·······.”

old colleague.

Patrick, Kaya, Wolfgang, Angela, and… Maria.

Of course, if they were there, I would have felt confident as if I had the world.

but they are not here And I’m not a foolish person who clings to things that don’t exist.

I always do what I can.

“Your sympathetic nervous system. It’s a more interesting structure than I thought. It’s stronger than I thought because the skeleton was built with demons.”

“···Well?”

“By the way, Balthazar. Do you know what the power that lies opposite to Magi is?”

A voice filled with intention flows bleakly.

And, Balthazar’s movements stiffened slightly.

The power to run in conflict with demons. That’s what ‘sacred power’ is.

“… You probably don’t have the enormous holy power to shake my sympathetic nervous system.”

“That’s right.”

To be precise, I borrowed one from Laniakea, but using it was a formidable burden on my body.

Certainly my body can’t stand to break down Balthazar’s sturdy nervous system.

“But there’s no law that says I have to do that.”

“What?”

“It’s not like I’m killing myself here with telepathy.”

For an instant, Balthazar’s gaze looked behind me.

Constellation’s corpse.

It contained enormous holy power in his eyes.

then you would have noticed

The Constellation is dead, but his holy power still remains.

The divinity and evil thoughts he possessed remained and still echoed in this place.

Even though it is a fragmented consciousness of disorganization that makes conversation impossible, it is possible to ‘induce’ it by controlling the mind through emotion.

Level 4 Mind Control, Domination.

It is the power to subjugate the opponent to my command.

If you apply that, it’s not at all impossible to handle at will the holy power that has lost its owner.

“I guess Diablo didn’t teach you this. Seeing you don’t know.”

“You bastard…!”

“If you don’t know, you should be beaten.”

Before he could say anything, I collided with his sympathetic nervous system the sexual power that had induced ‘structuring’.

It wasn’t too difficult.

The Constellation’s thoughts had already been sent to their minds, and Balthazar’s sympathetic nervous system had also completed minimal analysis while Skadi was dragging the time.

A small interpretation that is just enough to knock on the entrance.

It’s just a weak part, less than 1% of the whole, but that was enough to knock on the door.

“Kuhh…!”

The guy’s body shook.

The clash of forces occurring in the mental world is invisible to the naked eye.

But in his head, a bigger explosion than ever would strike his mind.

“This… damn it…!”

The Constellation’s corpse vomited clear light, and black air flowed like blood from within the hood.

The torn and fragmented mind scattered thoughts as if screaming, and the huge fragments of consciousness hit the surrounding terrain in the form of just thoughts.

Baltazar’s cries of pain as he clutched his head was destructive in itself.

“Kwaaagh!!”

“That’s what happens when you just careless about the fictional me.”

As she spoke, her eyesight turned around.

Induction of sexual power and interpretation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Doing two of those huge calculations at the same time, the amount of mana consumed by overclocking was truly staggering.

His head felt hot as if it were on fire, and he felt exhausted all over his body.

Skadi, who was next to me, grabbed me as I stumbled.

“···cheer up.”

“I am.”

As conveyed through the sympathetic nervous system, she was assisting me with the computational power I needed with her magic.

Arch Wizard’s magic was really great, and I was able to carry it that I couldn’t handle even half of it myself.

It takes great power to handle great power, so the power of the 9th circle magician who uses ‘wide area’ magic was indeed perfect.

“But… aren’t we reaching our limits as well?”

“Yes.”

I used up almost all of my mana with this.

It would be reasonable to assume that there was no more fighting power.

“Fine.”

I saw the entrance to this common room on the other side.

“Are there enough people to take care of the aftermath?”

And, just in time, they showed up.

“You seem to need help, Professor Yujin Kang.”

Mason, Master of the Magic Tower.

“Am I not late?”

Professor Roshua.

“It’s just the two of us having fun, so this one is really sad?”

And, Sir Clare.

People who can be proud of each one of them have gathered in one place.

That’s the last ‘move’ I prepared for this moment.

“damn···.”

That’s how dangerous the situation is for Balthazar.

Since he suffered a blow to his mind, most of the curses, including the ‘Unryeong’, must have been sealed, but the opponents were three powerful people with high spirits.

I don’t know if it’s an outer dimension, but he descended to the inner dimension and his power threshold has decreased, so he has no way to overcome his current opponent.

In addition, as time passes, Skadi and I will recover and join us.

It’s a perfect outing.

“Damn… DAMN!!”

In the end, he chose to run away.

He unleashed the enormous demonic energy he possessed, blocked their eyes and ears, and ejected them toward the entrance they entered.

“Run away!”

“catch!”

The speed is fast, but he can’t get out of here.

Anyway, this is not the end of the number of people.

My last ambush is outside this cave.

*

“Damn… Damn…!!”

It’s humiliating.

It was the only emotion that spread like a ripple through the raging consciousness.

If you’re the one who’s done your best.

Unless the Constellation interfered.

I thought I would be able to complete this task.

And yet it failed.

There were no restrictions on power, and Yujin Kang had no variable called singularity.

why? why?

How did he anticipate all of this?

Unless you are looking at the future, at least how can humans predict the number of cases like this?

A wave of incomprehensible doubts rushed in as fear.

“Go back. Go back for now…”

Returning is not difficult as long as you evade the chasing guys.

After that, you’ll just have to get your body together again and come up with a plan.

As he went at full speed to find the exit, a figure stood in front of him.

A girl with gray hair.

It was Adeline.

“Get out of the way!”

I don’t feel any magic power.

It is a weak creature that will die if you touch it.

I judged that and listened to the staff.

I thought I could break it into pieces and run away.

Beyond the staff who was about to strike down so hastily.

Balthazar’s eyes saw the two girls.

“·······.”

Cynthia and Encia.

Two girls with wide eyes were looking this way.

Their gazes interlocked in midair.

“her···.”

As a corps commander, he is not a great man guided by personal affections.

It has killed countless people who were younger and more affectionate than this and their families.

Even though he had spent a fleeting moment, his heart could not be shaken.

So, just crush it and run away.

It must be so.

“really?”

In a fleeting moment, a question thrown to him.

The subject was a gray-haired girl standing next to him.

She blew her voice into Baltazar’s dizzying imagery, like throwing a stone.

Balthazar’s movements stopped.

And that moment was enough for the pursuers to catch up with him.

Kwaaang—!!

A huge explosion hit me directly in the back.

Subsequently, Claire’s sword and Roshua’s spear stabbed him in the shoulder and drove him to the wall, while Mason’s spell bound him tightly.

“hahahaha!”

As if to signal the end, Skadi’s thunderbolt struck Balthazar’s chest directly.

The attack, which he squeezed with his last strength, shook his whole body, and his body, which allowed a fatal wound, limp.

“It’s black…”

Even as he fell, he thought.

why did it stop

What did that voice stop me from doing?

I wouldn’t have had any reason to stop.

“The sympathetic nervous system also encompasses the realm of emotions.”

Kang Yu-jin, who had approached me before I knew it, said.

“I saw the bond you exchanged between the two of them.”

“·······.”

“It’s a simple thing for Adeline to amplify a bond that can be ignored, to the point where it can’t be ignored.”

“···is it.”

tie.

Do you still have those feelings?

I didn’t feel it because I had been ignoring it until now, but I wonder if it was left behind…

“That’s funny…”

He lowered his head.

As if to represent that exhaustion, the hood he was wearing flowed down, revealing his face.

“here···.”

However, Yujin Kang’s voice cut off.

Seeing Baltazar’s figure, his words stopped.

Curiously, Baltazar raised a heavy gaze and looked at him.

“you···.”

And Kang Yoo-jin’s face, as he looked at it, was terribly distorted, like a demon.

“Why are you making that face?”

He muttered it like chewing and erection.
