[Chapter 192]
[Clash of Gods (3)]
At the same time.
Twelve Seats
Mobilizing two of the Five Spirits including
He dealt with the increasing number of ghouls as he got closer to the National Assembly building.
"Clan Lord, it seems these ghouls are thoughts dissolved in the air that were stimulated and implemented in that state. They have forms close to humans because the owners of the thoughts they used as mediums were humans, and people's perceptions responding to the thoughts think of them that way."
The Myeongwang Clan was a group composed of players who excelled in handling mana.
Five Spirits,
She analyzed the situation after taking down a commander-class ghoul.
Do Wan-jun nodded.
"Then stimulating their thoughts would be more effective than purifying them."
Do Wan-jun switched tactics.
Instead of taking out two daggers, he pulled out two pistols.
There was no need to load bullets.
Because the moment he took out the guns, the world will would recognize that bullets were loaded.
That's what illusion magic was.
Magic that disguises 'what isn't' as 'what is', deceiving the world will to draw it into reality.
Do Wan-jun pulled the trigger.
─Spirit Bullet
Magic belonging to high-level control techniques.
The bullets created by illusion became reality.
Do Wan-jun used high-level control techniques to change the properties of the bullets.
Generally, players couldn't imbue mana into bullets.
Because they couldn't perceive what state the bullets inside the gun barrel were in.
So to imbue mana into bullets, they needed to go through the troublesome process of taking them out of the gun just before and imbuing them.
It was meaningless for
Strictly speaking, he didn't imbue magic into his bullets, but rather imbued another magic into his illusion magic.
─Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Anyway.
The bullets attacking the target's mental body demonstrated excellent effects on them.
The bodies of ghouls hit by bullets turned into mana particles and disappeared.
"There's one more magic effective besides purification magic. Many players can apply high-level control techniques, so we can breathe easier."
"Yes, I'm glad our thoughts were right. I'll relay this to Telepathist Baek Hye-min to inform the players."
Having grasped the ghouls' weakness.
It was no different from a solo stage for Myeongwang Clan players accustomed to handling high-level control techniques.
They quickly dealt with ghouls and saved people.
Of course, the work wasn't easy.
"─No! You absolutely can't kill them! Kill me instead, me!"
"Please, I beg you. Please don't kill them."
""""...""""
People who seemed entranced by something interfered with them.
When they blocked the ghouls, the ghouls couldn't be attacked.
...They seem to be under brainwashing magic.
Do Wan-jun immediately noticed the people were under magic.
Their eyes were hazy.
There were also faint traces of magic remaining.
They seemed to have been brainwashed by someone.
No─
─They brainwashed themselves.
They brainwashed themselves.
Their cognitive framework created that.
People with many gaps in their hearts.
Such types were prone to believing, and also prone to being deceived.
In other words, they were people who helped implement illusion magic.
"─It's okay. We'll only attack those guys, not you. You don't need to move from there."
He took out a new device.
A stick that fit in one hand.
Holding the device, he took a stance as if nocking an arrow.
At that moment─
─Phantom Arrow
The people around imagined.
As the world will recognized based on his stance.
A bow was created in the hand holding the device.
An arrow was nocked on the bowstring.
A glowing green arrow.
"─It won't end with one shot."
He aimed at an ordinary person.
He released the hand pulling the bowstring.
The arrow made of light particles soon pierced through the ordinary person.
Yet the person pierced by the arrow didn't suffer any damage.
Rather, it pierced the ghoul rushing to pounce on him from behind.
While the commander-class ghoul staggered from the unexpected attack.
Do Wan-jun pulled the bowstring several times to attack the ghouls.
Soon clan members rescued the ordinary people, and they joined forces to annihilate them.
"It seems they get stronger the further in we go, so let's hurry to the National Assembly building instead of staying here."
""""Yes.""""
Meanwhile, though they found magic to defeat ghouls.
Internal mana was finite.
There were limits even with potions.
So rather than dealing with ghouls escaping to the outskirts, clearing out the source was the priority.
Do Wan-jun, having somewhat cleared the area, reminded himself of the objective.
He gave instructions to clan members.
Not long after, they were able to reach the National Assembly building.
"This is..."
""""...""""
The sight seen there.
Was incomparable to the outskirts.
People and monsters and ghouls.
Were entangled fighting each other.
Among the people were those siding with ghouls or voluntarily being eaten by ghouls.
There were more than one or two commander-class ghouls, and quite a few ghouls that could infect people into ghouls.
─Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
There were even giant-class ghouls.
Do Wan-jun was at a loss for words at the situation that seemed to have no answer.
Right then─
The Lord said,
I will kill death.
Meteor Shower
The sky flashed.
White light burst.
From where the light disappeared, hundreds of arrows were pouring down to the ground.
As if imbued with purification magic.
They attack the ghouls.
Do Wan-jun turned his gaze to the sky where the magic unfolded.
"...
Unlike himself who learned superficially.
A player who professionally learned archery.
She was floating in the sky.
"Head towards where
Seeing her magic just now.
Do Wan-jun who had a flash of thought told his clan members.
☆
Artifact, Hermes' Steps.
The shoes made from a Chungmu-grade treasure allowed the wearer to freely walk in the sky.
"I'll go a bit further."
"Yes, I'll prepare too."
The ghouls are moving around quickly.
Even if they went to open terrain, they couldn't handle the ghouls' numbers and mobility.
So Hoshimiya Kaede came up to the sky where they couldn't approach her.
She gazed at one point while looking out over the battlefield.
No Eun-ha will dodge on his own.
There's no one who'll get hurt around there, so I should attack that area.
No Eun-ha and
According to incoming information,
His circumstances didn't matter at all.
What's important is that this situation will only be resolved by killing
Kaede decided on a target to reduce the number of ghouls while supporting Eun-ha.
When she pulled the bowstring, a blue arrow automatically appeared.
Soon, the arrow split into three.
The Lord said,
I will kill death.
Now the timing was roughly matched.
Iriya recited the prayer.
Kaede shot the arrow.
Meteor Shower
Hundreds of arrows bursting in the sky.
Kaede took her eyes off the ground where arrows imbued with Iriya's magic were piercing down.
Then she pulled the bowstring again.
"Can you do more?"
"Don't worry about my mana."
Kaede spoke to Iriya clinging to her.
She couldn't leave Iriya among ghouls with excellent mobility.
So Kaede was floating in the sky while carrying her.
Soon Kaede tried to intercept the ground again in sync with Iriya.
It was then.
─Whoosh!!
""...!!""
Suddenly the detection net reacted.
A monster was flying in.
A flying monster had discovered the two of them.
Kaede clicked her tongue.
"Hold on tight. We'll have to move frantically from now on."
Kaede carried Iriya on her back.
She clung tightly.
Kaede immediately ran across the sky.
Hermes' Steps
Wings sprouted on the shoes.
When she stepped forward as if sliding, she moved forward quickly as if wheels were attached to the shoes.
Whoosh!!
But the monster flying through the sky was faster than Kaede running across the sky.
Roughly 6th rank.
She prepared for the next attack after assessing the monster passing by her.
Sure enough.
It was circling the sky and trying to rush at her.
Star Plucking
When there wasn't much distance left with the monster.
Kaede recklessly shot an arrow up into the sky.
Then she caught the rising trajectory to avoid the monster's attack.
Hermes' Steps
And landing after reaching a certain altitude.
She aimed her bow at the one coming up after discovering her while having Iriya cling to her.
─Gift-Bestowing Artifact
The Lord said,
Gods are insignificant beings, all things depend on my sword.
Storm Poem
All Pandora Clan members activated the artifact they each carry around.
Kaede's abilities increased.
And Iriya tightly hugging her side cast buffs.
Kaede released the bowstring.
──!!!!
The arrow drew a trajectory.
The trajectory was enveloped in fierce winds.
The monster was hit head-on by the wind trajectory.
"...It's finally over."
The monster turning into mana particles.
Kaede breathed a sigh of relief watching the falling monster.
Soon she decided to lower her altitude again to continue providing support fire.
Having used
As she lowered her altitude like that.
Telepathy was transmitted to her.
[Myeongwang Clan Telepathist Baek Hye-min relays a message from the Myeongwang Clan Lord.
☆
Receiving the proposal from Twelve Seats
The two landed on the ground.
"─
A somewhat blunt voice.
Kaede and Iriya listened to what he was saying.
The gist of the story could be expressed in one sentence by Kaede.
"─You'll use illusion magic on the ground to strengthen our magic when we use it like before?"
"Yes, that's right. And I'll use my magic to prevent your magic from targeting people."
Do Wan-jun explained the illusion magic he would unfold.
Kaede didn't properly understand the profound content.
Iriya was different.
"You'll strengthen people's thoughts that 'there are too many to count' when they see Kaede's meteor shower."
"I'll also strengthen the thought that 'there are too many arrows to possibly dodge'. The targets will be set as only ghouls."
Iriya was well-versed in mana studies.
She also understood illusion magic.
So the subject leading the operation became Iriya rather than Kaede.
Kaede decided to obediently follow Iriya's instructions.
And so─
─Star Plucking
Hermes' Steps
Kaede carried Iriya on her back and shot up into the sky.
After finding a suitable position, she designated the pre-discussed location.
The area most difficult to deal with, mixed with people, monsters, and ghouls.
She closed her eyes.
She took a deep breath.
"..."
Just before, Do Wan-jun had said.
Though he would assist so Kaede's magic wouldn't hit people, the caster's perception was most important.
─My arrows are arrows that only attack non-human beings.
She followed Do Wan-jun's words.
She repeated in her mind.
She firmly believed in her ability.
"It's okay. You'll do well."
"...Thanks, unnie."
Iriya encouraged her too.
Kaede relaxed her tension.
She pulled the bowstring.
Three arrows were nocked on the bow.
The Lord said,
I will kill death.
Iriya recited the prayer.
Her magic imbues the arrows.
[Now!]
When telepathy was finally transmitted.
Kaede unfolded her magic.
─Meteor Shower
Dozens, hundreds of arrows.
They fall to the ground.
Soon after─
──!!!!
The arrows that escaped her control split into dozens of branches again.
It was an unbelievable sight even to her looking down from the sky.
The thousands, tens of thousands of arrows seemed so real it was impossible to tell which were illusions.
Boom boom boom boom!!
They targeted only ghouls and monsters while applying large-scale purification magic.
☆
According to Jin Parang's telepathy.
Are the people there okay?
The scale is no joke.
Eun-ha could see the exploding scene in the distance.
The admiration was brief.
He took another step forward, leaving the explosion sounds behind.
Wubo
He appears where Sindorim is.
He swings down the sword extended behind his shoulder.
Corpse Explosion
Blast Counter
Explosion and explosion collide.
Eun-ha swung his sword into the explosion, releasing Winter Blooming Coldly.
Roooooar!!
A dragon that devoured flames appears.
It swallows the rushing ones and finally swallows even Sindorim.
──!!
But Sindorim wouldn't just take it.
Right after, the flame dragon expanded.
The dragon tore from the inside.
It scattered flames in all directions outwards.
Soon Sindorim walked out shaking off the flames while wrapped in a black cloak.
At that very moment─
─Gift-Bestowing Artifact
Wubo
Blaze Crusher
In the gap where Sindorim was grasping the situation.
Eun-ha released the artifact he had left on standby.
Golden light enveloped his body.
He immediately stomped the ground.
"...!!"
Sindorim reacted belatedly.
Just as he hurriedly tried to dodge.
Eun-ha quickly slashed with his sword.
Corpse Ex...!!
Hamper Wave
Prominence Dance
Breaking Sindorim's magic.
Eun-ha swung two swords.
And so─
─Crack!
Destroying Sindorim's helmet.
Using the recoil from swinging the sword, he immediately swung the sword held in his other hand─
"──!!"
Faster than Sindorim could respond.
Eun-ha cut off Sindorim's neck.
As if unable to believe that fact.
His head with widely dilated pupils flies far away.
"─Sorry, but people die someday. Send off your younger sister in peace."
☆
...
I can't die like this.
That one thought is implemented in the world.
And that is soon─
─I am
In a sense, it is the manifestation of myth.
