Chapter 270 - Episode Seventeen - The First Trial (5)
While I was searching for an efficient way to carry the Din Eaters, the statue of Kudor was getting closer and closer, wriggling and creaking its tentacle-like stones.
Oh no, I guess I’ll just have to let Asura grab the six Din Eaters.
Myunhi-san, too, seems to be in a daze due to being stretched out on a pile of Din Eaters carcasses, and it’s doubtful that he can run straight.
I can’t do it physically, so I need Mare or Petero to carry me on their backs.
“…… Six of them, six of them, huh?”
I narrowed my eyes and poked my forehead with my index finger.
I was thinking about the uses of Din Eaters, but I still concluded that more is better than less.
“Abel, it’s time to go! That’s enough, isn’t it! Look, there might be something even better down the road? Okay?”
I glanced at the statue of Kudor.
I don’t know, but my movement speed is increasing…?
As I shrugged my shoulders, deciding to be patient with the six, an idea popped into my head.
“Blowing up the floor might buy us some time ……”
I raised my staff and pointed it at the statue of Kudor.
Perhaps the obstacle is meaningless to it.
That tentacle tore apart the body of the Din Eater with a single blow that even the Asura 5000 could not easily destroy.
But if the terrain itself changes, it should take some time to move.
Peter runs up to me.
“Wait, wait! That statue may move slowly, but it fights back well, you know!! You saw it, didn’t you? The speed of the Din Eater’s tentacles it unleashed! If you touch it carelessly ……”
“But then again, it might be okay ……”
I said to myself to convince myself that I was ready.
If I back out now, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life thinking about how I could have gotten more Din Eaters if I’d acted then.
It’s okay.
I’ll collapse the foothold and fill it with Hydeem Magimetal to block the movement.
I ran through five high-speed simulations in my head, constructing a magic circle of possible responses to the failure, and test-driving it in my brain.
“Okay ……!”
“No, not okay! H-, hey, are you listening to me!?”
I pretend I didn’t hear Peter’s advice, and point my wand at the statue of Kudor.
“flame, form, ball.”
Of course, the magic used was the Abel ball.
The target was the feet of the statue of Kudor.
I used multiple wards to evenly suppress the ball of flame, and repeatedly amplified and compressed it.
The ball of flame, which had suddenly increased in heat, transformed into a sphere with a white glow.
The problem is that this ancient cathedral is made of a special substance.
Not even ore. The material of this cathedral is a dense spirit …… spirit body. The building itself is like a demon.
A half-hearted effort would not even be able to scrape the floor.
When the power of the Abel ball is increased to the limit, a white glow runs all around the area, painting the vision.
In the light, I shoot the Abel Ball at the statue of Kudor.
In the fading glare, I could see the figure of Kudor.
The statue was nonchalantly moving forward in front of the Abel Ball, but suddenly its body trembled and it stopped moving.
The statue’s face twisted in anger.
I felt a cold and powerful magic power that was terrifying.
A chill ran down my back.
The statue of Kudor stretched and entwined the tentacles all over its body, creating a wall in front of itself.
The wall of tentacles and the Abel ball collided.
A roar echoes through the air, the sound of a building collapsing.
When I opened my eyes, the …… statue of Kudor was gone.
The ancient cathedral, the path we had walked, was being crushed by the wreckage of rubble.
The impact of the Abel ball had caused the rear passage to collapse.
I had won the bet.
The statue of Kudor was caught in the crumbling ancient cathedral.
“A-All right …… it looks like we’ve managed to reclaim the thing. Now we can retrieve the Din Eaters……”
But you can never be sure.
The statue of Kudor should be coming through the rubble.
Cover the rubble with Hydeem magimetal and seal it with a ward.
I don’t know how well it will work, but it should stop them in their tracks.
“Abel …… that thing ……”
Mea pointed at the debris, as if it was hard to say.
Don’t tell me they’re already crawling out!?
I hurriedly pointed my wand at it.
There, the upper half of the human body of the statue of Kudor was lying carelessly on its back.
It seems to have been blown up, and the cut surface is rough.
The statue struggled to move its arms, but eventually stopped moving.
A red liquid flowed out of his eyes.
“Oooh …… Ooooooooooh……”
I stared at the statue of Kudor for a while, dumbfounded.
But the statue was buried under the falling debris, and I couldn’t see it anymore.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and lowered my wand.
“Thank goodness …… it looks like it’s more fragile than I thought.”
I turned around to see Peter and Myunhi frozen in place with their mouths agape.
I’m not sure why Mea is looking at them so apologetically.
“Oh …… Was it bad I destroyed this place? No, I didn’t have much time to spare, either. ……”
“Peter-sama …… are you sure you want to keep this guy alive ……?”
Munch whispered something to herself.
“Eh, did you just say something just now?”
My voice made Myunhi’s shoulders surprised in fright.
Immediately, Peter struck her on the cheek with his hand.
An intense sound reverberates.
“H-H-, How could you ……! I’m sorry, Abel-chan. She’s a little tired, too!”
Peter shouted at Myunhi, out of breath.
“W-Wait Peter-san, please calm down! You don’t have to slap a woman’s face like that!”
One of Myunhi’s cheeks is bright red.
You can see that he struck her with a lot of force.
“I can’t have that. Myunhi suddenly said something strange ……”
“Something strange?”
“…… So you really didn’t hear”
Peter said with relief.
I was about to ask him what he was talking about when he quickly opened his mouth.
“More than that! See, that’s great magic, that was! It’s not only powerful, but …… it’s also a very detailed and complex magic circle. Where did you learn it? Did it come from the Marren?”
“No, no, it’s nothing special like that! I made it myself, thinking only of how powerful it would be. I’m glad that someone who looks like a great person like Peter-san praised me. I’m pretty confident about it myself …… Oh, um, if Peter-san don’t mind, should I teach it to you?”
I was somewhat embarrassed and scratched my head to cover it up.
I think my cheeks might have gotten a little red.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. There are times when the path to obtaining magic is dark. There are a lot of things I can’t tell people, too.”
I was treated in a way that I did not understand.
It seems that they didn’t believe that it was me who created it.
