#117
“Okay, let’s finish this.”
Terranil’s arms fell to the floor. Sigh! Hot blood spurted out from the cut surface. Ronan, who swung his sword aiming for his neck, shrugged his eyebrows.
“You avoided it?”
“Huh…!”
Terranil’s face turned white. His intuition based on instinct saved his life. He would have had his head blown off if he hadn’t taken a defensive stance before hearing the voice.
However, having an arm cut off was not a luxury at all. His right arm was numb below the elbow and his left arm was numb from just below the shoulder.
The intense pain that came late ran through my entire body. A desperate scream burst from Terranil’s mouth.
“Kaaaaaa!!”
His closed eyes flashed open. Thick blood was flowing down my cheek.
Even if I wanted to wipe my face, it was impossible because I had no arms. After correcting his breathing, Terranir drew the mana from his body into his eyeballs.
“Huh…Huhuhhh…!”
The wound on the cornea slowly began to heal. As soon as she regained her sight, she saw a blade flying towards her neck.
“Ugh!”
Terranil hastily bowed. Huh! La Mancha flew sideways and passed by the top of his head. Ronan tilted his head.
“What, can you see me again now?”
“What…what kind of trick did you use!”
Terranil stammered and shouted. She lost so much blood that she felt dizzy. Her slightly restored vision showed only Ronan’s outline.
“That’s none of your business.”
“Now, wait!”
Ronan responded harshly and swung his sword. Her sharp sword strikes rained down like a roar. Hiss! Terranil, who had avoided having his ear blown off by just a leaf, chewed his lips.
“Damn it…!”
His arm was cut off, making it difficult to balance. Terranil had to dodge attacks even more precariously than before. The slashes that were not completely avoided were leaving large and small scars all over the body.
‘It’s disrespectful. ‘I never thought I would make this mistake.’
The offense and defense were completely reversed. It was like he was maimed after being bitten by a rat that was chasing him. Terranil gritted his teeth. The problem was that he did not temporarily restore his eyesight because he wanted to enjoy the battle with Ronan.
‘How on earth did you do this? ‘To make the presence disappear…!’
I couldn’t figure out the principle. Even now, Ronan’s mana was disappearing and appearing repeatedly. Terra Nil, who had been drooling, adjusted his posture.
‘It’s at a disadvantage. We must retreat.’
Apart from the heat from the wound, my head was getting cold. She couldn’t stay like this forever. No matter how much you regret, a severed arm will not come back.
Avoiding the situation was the priority. Terranil, who was looking for an opening, gathered his breath and roared.
“Get off!”
The power has been activated. The translucent wings unfolded, fully unfolding, and a violent wind burst out. Quaaaaa! A wind swept through the room, blowing everything away. Terranil’s eyes widened.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
“W-what?!”
Something unbelievable was happening. Ronan didn’t fly. He was holding on to the two swords buried deep in the ground.
That wasn’t all. A root of mana appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around Ronan’s body, anchoring it to the floor.
The unpleasant-looking root kept growing every time it broke, preventing Ronan from flying away. Eventually, the wind subsided. Terranil’s face contorted in astonishment.
“That’s ridiculous!”
“You won’t get hit three times.”
Ronan grinned and swung both swords at the same time. Terra Nil hurried to bite his body, but it was a little too late. Suddenly! A red line was drawn in the shape of a cross over his chest. The blood that rose along the sword marks wet Ronan’s face.
“Wow!”
Blood spurted from Terranil’s mouth. For a moment, the word death passed through his mind. This wound wasn’t good. I felt the blade tearing through my flesh and reaching into my intestines.
“Lord, Bishop?!”
Yuria, who had been competing with Schlieffen, finally turned her head. Terra Nil, who had been fine until a moment ago, was bleeding with both his arms cut off. She screamed in horror.
“W-your arm…?! “How did that happen?”
“Yuria! Wow, it’s a retreat…! “Scroll…!”
“You guys can’t go.”
Ronan turned the sword around and swung it. Terranil, concentrating his mind, took a surprise leap, kicking his ground. Quaaaang! A shock wave exploded violently and hit Ronan.
“Ugh!”
It was a direct hit. The roots that supported Ronan were torn off at once. Kwasik! He fell after rolling five times and only came to a stop after hitting his pillar.
“···Damn it.”
No matter how hard I tried, it was a force I couldn’t get used to. When I spit, dark red blood came out.
In fact, Ronan’s condition was not good at all. Her body was screaming as the shock wave tore through it. Although he had just won the victory, the damage he had received until then was still accumulated in his body.
“Stand tall…”
But I absolutely could not miss it. Ronan got up shakily and started running. Terra Nil was already within the range of Yuria’s star’s protection.
“Huh…come out here you son of a bitch! “You’re still a bishop!”
Ronan shouted. It was a long distance for the sword energy to reach. Of course, Terranil didn’t even pretend to listen. Yuria said, petting her leopard.
“Shoot with everything you can.”
“Krrrrrrr…”
Then the leopard, who had been shooting metal at Schlieffen, looked back at Ronan. A loud roar came from the mouth of the leopard, which inflated its body to its fullest extent.
“Kaaaa!”
At the same time, various parts of the leopard’s body were opened and metal objects were fired. Kaga River! Kang! Every time Ronan swung his sword, embers flew out wildly.
“f*ck you again…”
The firing interval was so narrow that it was impossible to move forward. Yuria was holding out her just-returned scroll. Terranil, leaning against her, opened her mouth, glaring at Ronan.
“From now on… Heo Eok, you are our target. Lycopos…hehe, he’s going to chase you.”
“Shut up… stand there…!”
Ronan gritted his teeth. If things continued like this, there would be no answer. The sword energy was too far to reach, and Schlieffen’s attack could not pierce the star’s protection. To make matters worse, Vajra’s core was also running out of steam.

“Hey, what are you doing? Wake!”
Ronan turned to Schlieffen and shouted. After ending the battle, he was staring blankly into space like a person possessed by something. His body, which had endured the onslaught, was covered in large and small wounds.
‘Why is it like that? Did you get hit on the head?’
Ronan twisted his lips. Ugh! At that time, the scroll unfolded and a blue-black portal was created. After finishing her appetite, Yuria looked at the boys and opened her mouth.
“Well, it’s a shame, young masters. “I will definitely kill you sooner or later, so see you then.”
“Oh my gosh, you bastards…!”
“Hold on a moment, Bishop. Alibrihe made another prosthetic hand that was amazing…”
-Quaaaaaaa!!
Yuria was the one trying to guide Terranil to the portal first. Suddenly, a loud noise that seemed to take the world away rang out from behind. She was so shocked that she flinched.
“Kwaaagh?!”
At the same time, a strong wave of mana hit the four people. The mana flowing through her body at will felt different from any energy she had ever experienced.
“Ouch!”
Ronan was disgusted. It was the sensation of pouring all the mana potions in the world down my throat at the same time. Her stomach turned and the air felt unbearably bitter.
And it seemed to be the same for everyone else. The intense mana pierced through the star’s protection and even affected Yuria and Terranil.
“Ugh! “Ugh!”
“Wow!”
The two people were vomiting without even thinking about entering the portal. Only Schlieffen maintained his posture, gazing into space as if possessed. Ronan suddenly felt a change in his body and raised his head.
‘This···!’
My breathing was slowly stabilizing. Regardless of the discomfort, I felt my mana recovering. The two power sources, which were nearly depleted, were pulsing rapidly.
Ronan turned his head. The magic stone floating in the center of the ruins was emitting a brilliant light. An immeasurable amount of mana was gushing out from the magic stone.
Weeeeeee…!
The range of background distorted by mana was gradually expanding. As the fight continued, the lighting on the ceiling, which had become weaker, became so bright that it was difficult to open my eyes. At that time, a woman’s voice echoed throughout the space.
[Security system operation]
[Security system operation]
“Security system…?”
The voice was so artificial that it gave me goosebumps. Ronan frowned at her when he heard the unfamiliar word. A series of inexplicable things had been happening to her since a while ago, and she couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“Uuuh…huh?”
But that wasn’t what mattered now. Yuria and Terranil came to their senses after vomiting. She wiped the corner of her mouth and let out her exclamation.
“Don’t you feel like you’re gaining strength somehow? Should I just kill them all?”
“No, Yuria. hurry···.”
Terranil chased Yuria. His injuries were not something that could be recovered through mana or anything like that.
“yes yes.”
Yuria pouted and took out another new return scroll. This was because the existing portal had disappeared before we knew it. She looked back at Ronan and waved her hand.
“Then really goodbye.”
It was the moment Yuria opened the scroll. Ronan grabbed Ymir. The two power sources were shaking as if they were going to explode at any moment.
‘It’s your last chance.’
It seemed possible now. I’ve never tried it before, but I had a feeling it would be successful. Suddenly, a golden energy came up Ronan’s arm. It was Varen’s aura that amplified power.
“Whoa…”
Ronan took a deep breath. Ugh! Yuria’s scroll unfolded and a portal appeared. Ronan swung her arm, aiming the tip of her sword at Terra Nil.
Ymir, filled with sparkling mana, shot out, dragging her white tail. Paaang! A belated sound was heard.
Terranil was the car that had just stepped into the portal. Sigh! Ymir flew in, tearing off the star’s protection and crashed into his side.
“Gagging!”
“Lord, Bishop!”
Terranil fell loudly, as if he had been hit by a flying kick. This was because his original body was fired strongly and his dagger was heavy.
“Oh, no. Oh my, this can’t be like this…!”
Ymir’s sword body was stuck right up to the handle. Terranil raised her head with superhuman tenacity and began to crawl towards the portal.
Ronan hit the floor with his right foot. bang! Roots sprouted from the spot where Ymir was and wrapped around the two people.
“Ugh, what is this?!”
Yuria shouted in embarrassment. Even though I tried to shake her arms and legs, she didn’t fall off easily. The roots, strengthened by unidentified mana, became thicker and more lush. Ronan opened his mouth with his eyes fixed on them.
“I told you.”
Suddenly, Ymir, embedded in Terranil’s side, began to emit light. Yuria’s eyes widened. The energy emanating from the dagger was undoubtedly Terranil’s aura.
“Is this the bishop’s…?”
Terranil’s face turned white as he predicted the future. Ronan, who had gathered all his remaining mana, chanted lowly.
“I can’t go.”
“Aaaah! Stop!!”
A heart-wrenching scream rang out. Ronan clenched her fists. Quaaaaaaa!! At the same time, a shock wave was released and exploded inside Terranil’s body.
“Aaaah!”
Torn bodies scattered in all directions. Yuria screamed as her eye was pierced by a bone fragment.
The sparkling roots were torn away and the star’s protection was lifted. The radiating blood and intestines bloomed red on the cold metal floor. Terranil’s upper waist had disappeared without a trace.
“How dare you!”
Yuria, overcome by evil, pulled out her whip. Grumble! Violent mana, reminiscent of a great fire, soared over her shoulders. Ronan smiled bitterly at her and swore at her.
“Shit.”
“I’ll tear it into a thousand pieces!”
There was absolutely no energy left to deal with something like that. She was just about to leap. Schlieffen, who had been staring at her into space the whole time, grabbed the hilt of her sword.
– Whoosh.
He looked at Yuria and swung his sword. A diagonal slash cut through the air.
Contrary to expectations, the sword was not fired. There was no sound, not even the common sound. However, a ray of cold wind passed by Yuria’s neck.
“what?”
Yuria, who belatedly noticed Schlieffen’s presence, turned her head. At that moment, the space where her wind passed opened and the world she was looking at turned upside down.
“…uh?”
Tuk. Yuria’s head fell to the floor. Her headless body slowly tilted.
That was the end.
