◈ Episode 615: New reinforcements (3)
“Am I dreaming now?”
The man’s expression turned bizarre when he saw the wolf spirits scattered outside.
Am I dreaming right now?
When I pinched my cheek with my hand, I felt the pain vividly. What I was seeing now was reality.
“Why are there so many numbers? … ?”
The number of spirit beasts visible to the eye alone was over 30.
It didn’t make sense in common sense. It’s hard to believe that spirit beasts that are hard to find even on the continent have appeared on Isla Machina, but that there are over 30 of them?
While they were confused by the unknown situation, Youngsu’s group moved in unison and began to rush into the building.
One came in through the broken glass on the second floor, and then another appeared on the other side.
Youngsu came in through the open door on the first floor and bit the people waiting on the first floor.
There was blood and screaming.
Artifacts, the latest weapons, and modified automatons resisted, but it was useless.
The wolf spirits charging at me from all directions were like a howling cold wind.
It’s difficult to deal with just one, but with so many coming in from all directions, I had no choice but to be helpless.
“damn! “What the hell is this?”
Nikolai’s men, completely surrounded by wolves, let out a roar.
Tuta tata!
Stray gun barrels spewed fire, magic grenades exploded, and protective artifacts spewed out power.
With desperate resistance, they somehow held on, but the wolf pack was persistent.
The prey was struggling, so instead of rushing at it blindly, it kept its distance and turned into the wind, quickly circling around.
Anyone who saw it looked like they were trying to stop him and kill him.
“Shit, shit.”
Even if you were very attentive, it was inevitable that a gap would appear in a split second.
At that moment, the spirit wolf that turned into wind and ran across the ceiling returned to its gigantic form and crushed it from above.
“Ugh! “Get it away!”
“My arm! “Someone help me!”
Once the formation was broken, it was a set process from then on.
At the sound of screaming coming from inside the building, Freuden, who was watching the scene from afar, could not help but express his sincere admiration.
‘This is the spirit beast that has protected our family.’
The same goes for the endurance to run for days without rest, as well as the ability to run with the wind and cross the ocean.
What’s truly scary about it is that it comes into its own in combat.
‘The ability to manipulate the wind itself and change into the wind itself, albeit momentarily.’
This is the reason why the wolf spirit beast can move in and out of anywhere through a narrow hole like a cat.
The body itself turned into wind, allowing air to pass through even if it was the size of a needle hole.
No matter how much we blocked the road and installed barriers, we couldn’t completely block the air.
In order to block the spirit beast’s movement, a wind attribute wizard had to create a vacuum wall or completely combust the surrounding atmosphere with a fire attribute.
It was a very outstanding trait in that it forced the other party to make extreme choices.
‘What’s even better than that is the quantity.’
Another characteristic of the wolf spirit beast.
That was [division].
Surprisingly, the 30 or so wolf spirit beasts around were all one.
‘One is right. But at the same time, it’s also impossible.’
Freuden recalled an article he had previously read about how spirits are born.
Youngsu said that animals that live for a long time are born with special evolution.
So does that happen simply because you live long?
Of course not.
Each animal’s case is different, and it varies depending on the given environment or the process of struggling and living in the wild.
Some were born to become spiritual beasts, while others were born later after struggling in an endless pyramid of survival.
Or, if they were born and raised in an environment where mana was very rich, they could become spirit beasts.
The wolf spirit beast, the guardian deity of the Ulburg family, received help from the environment, but became a spirit beast after a struggle.
‘And what became the spirit beast was not a single wolf, but a huge pack.’
Wolves live in packs.
That wolf spirit did not become the leader of the pack.
The entire group transformed into spirit beasts and integrated into one.
In other words, that spirit beast was both an individual and a group.
A similar yet different situation to the monster of Jevaudang.
The monsters of Gévaudan, known to the public, were one entity and an army, but that was because the monsters of Gévaudan ‘created’ cryptids on their own.
Clearly, Jebodang’s monster could be said to be a single entity.
Freuden realized how absurd the existence of spirit beasts was, and at the same time, how many mysterious facts there were that had not yet been revealed to humanity.
‘The reason the animal that symbolizes our family is a wolf is also thanks to this spirit beast.’
The situation ended quickly.
The robbers who tried to kill Rine couldn’t even leave a body behind.
Except for the strong smell of gunpowder and several magical tools that could be considered their traces, their entire bones were eaten by the spirit beast.
Freuden jumped over the remains of the broken automaton and hurriedly ran up to the third floor of the building where Line was staying.
“Rine!”
The moment the door was slammed open, a dagger of black energy came under his chin.
“What are you?”

Freuden gulped at the sight of Cravat staring coldly at him.
‘I am not an ordinary person.’
Although Cravat looked younger than himself, he felt an aura that was difficult to express in words.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and a wolf spirit appeared right next to Cravat, baring its teeth.
Growling.
“… … Youngsu? “Did you do it to clear out the people outside?”
“Then who are you?”
“Write. Do you by any chance know the girl lying over there named Line?”
Freuden’s eyes turned to Line, who was lying comfortably on the bed.
His pupils constricted slightly.
“What happened to Line? Are you okay? “Where are you injured?”
Cravat’s eyes widened at the sight of Freuden speaking faster.
“I didn’t see it that way, but you like him?”
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened.”
“under. Look at this stupid guy. do not worry. “Thanks to someone’s help in a moment of crisis, the situation was greatly stabilized.”
“What is the condition? Could it be…?” … “Did you fix her constitution?”
“constitution? what. “Did you know that too?”
“I don’t know the details. However, as far as the fact that Rine is terminally ill… … .”
“Then the conversation will be easy.”
Cravat put away the dagger he had pointed at Freuden.
It was only then that Freuden was able to relax as the pitch-black energy that made his skin shiver disappeared.
The wolf spirit who was watching this also stopped being wary and calmly sat next to Freuden with his chin resting on his head.
“Wow. What a shame to live in such a polluted and dirty city. “It’s something I will live to see for a long time.”
“What is Linne’s condition?”
“First of all, it is a success. “It’s only half.”
“Half… … “Are you saying it’s not over?”
“First, let me explain why this happened. Divine power sleeps within the body of a child named Line. “To be exact, there was.”
“But Rine is a wizard… … .”
“That’s why it’s strange. A wizard has divine power. But it actually happened, so you can’t say it’s impossible. Holy power wasn’t normal holy power either. It was so powerful that it was almost indistinguishable from magic, so I told you everything. That’s why no matter how hard other people tried to look, they couldn’t notice.”
Even Cravat could barely distinguish the divine power because he saw the two powers colliding within Linne’s body.
“What is more problematic is the natural magical power of this child named Line. It’s a dense magical power that doesn’t lose an inch even when it collides with such powerful divine power. Because of that, my body was unable to withstand the collision of magical power and divine power and was quickly collapsing.”
“How on earth did you fix that?”
“What I did was simple. The divine power running rampant within this child’s body was destroyed by the power of the curse. “The opposite of divine power is the curse of black magic, a very old and ancient curse at that.”
An ancient curse.
When Freuden realized the identity of the black energy that gave him chills, he felt goosebumps rising on his arms.
I would never have guessed that such a young-looking person was a warlock who dealt with ancient curses.
“It was a very difficult process. “I was unable to squeeze out most of my strength, so I resorted to all kinds of magic potions, reagents, and materials.”
“So, are you okay now?”
“It would have been nice for me too. The divine power has been completely removed. “The problem is that child’s natural magical power.”
“Is there something wrong with Linne’s magical power?”
“It’s too strong.”
It was an overly simplistic answer, but Cravat could not think of any other alternative.
“It is the divine power that I have done everything to destroy and the magic power that has been fighting for a long time. “I can’t even imagine the density, sheer output, and power.”
“Line has that kind of magical power… … .”
That’s what he said, but Freuden also had a vague guess.
Starting from the magic number shown by Line, we have been given clues for a long time that her potential and potential are extraordinary.
“But even so, isn’t it your own magic power? Why is that a problem?”
“Even if it’s magical power, you have to know how to handle it. No matter how strong the force is, if you can’t let it out, it will just continue to accumulate inside. “I don’t know if he gets stronger to match that, but it’s also largely because that kid didn’t seem to have the opportunity to do that.”
I thought it was finally over, but now I’ve just passed one dangerous juncture.
Freuden clenched his fists at that fact.
“Baby, don’t worry too much. “Because there is still a way.”
“Are you saying there is another alternative?”
“Now that we have succeeded in controlling the divine power, we must now calm down the remaining non-attribute magical power. “For that, the teacher is working hard right now.”
“teacher?”
Freuden’s eyes widened.
“Surely, Ludger Chelisi is here now too?”
“okay.”
“What is he doing now?”
“I went out to get new ingredients for the reagent.”
Cravat muttered like that and narrowed his eyes at the large vibration and strange wave of power felt from afar.
“It doesn’t seem to be going smoothly.”
“That was just… … .”
Freuden must have felt it too as he stared out the window.
The wolf spirit also showed his teeth as he stared out the window with his entire body’s hair standing on end.
“… … “What was it?”
“I don’t know either.”
“yes?”
“The only thing I know is that something enormous is starting to rampage out there. He’s not usually a strong guy either. What on earth? This alien force… … .”
Cravat noticed that his hands were shaking and clicked his tongue.
I am someone who is curious about most things, but even though I only felt part of that power, my body started shaking.
This meant that instinctive fear and fear were greater than curiosity.
“Fear. How long has it been since you felt something like this? It can’t go on like this. “I have to go too.”
“for a moment. “I will go too.”
“Sweetheart. If you go, it will only be a distraction. And who will protect that child? Do you have any invoices to clean up?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Freuden said to Youngsu.
“please.”
Cry.
Youngsoo nodded as if he understood, and then blew air with his mouth.
The light blue wind transformed into a wolf and stood by Liné’s side as if guarding it.
“We will protect Rine until we return.”
“… … Huh, okay, I got it. It would be useless to try to stop him from doing this. Go and don’t regret it. “What we have to face from now on will be a fight that has never been recorded in history.”
“I never came with half-hearted determination.”
Cravat stood at the window and cast a curse.
His body twisted slightly and turned into a black crow and flapped its wings.
It was a curse that transformed into a crow.
“That, an ancient curse… … .”
Freuden was not surprised by that.
Because we had to hurry up and catch up.
“please.”
Freuden climbed on Youngsu’s back and stroked the back of his neck.
Youngsu immediately turned into the wind and raced towards the epicenter of the fight.
* * *
The God of Mechanical Devices moved as if he was about to destroy the world.
With a single gesture, an entire area is swept away and disappears.
Everything around it was made of strong metal, but that made it useless before the god of mechanical devices.
Buildings collapsing cruelly.
People screaming and running away.
Explosions, destruction, death, screaming, chaos, despair everywhere.
There were people fighting fiercely against the god of machinery.
“damn! “It’s so strong!”
Seeing that his sword was easily blocked by the mechanical arm, Berom stepped back and expressed his frustration.
Although the dark red slash had the power to cut down almost anything, it was difficult to inflict even a single wound on the mechanical arm.
If you scratch something, it heals in no time.
It’s not even a living thing, it’s a machine, but it can even regenerate.
“I was crazy. “Why did you get involved in this hell?”
Despite what he said, Berom did not give up the fight.
It was because I trusted Ludger.
If it’s that guy, I’m sure he’ll do something.
“hey! John Doe! How long are you going to make me wait!”
It was a cry I made out of nowhere, but surprisingly, I got an answer.
“Good job.”
A brilliant light appeared in the sky.
Berom flinched for a moment.
This was because the light was so strong that I thought it was dazzling even though I was wearing armor all over my body.
“… … Ha, what is it? “I said I would prepare for quite a long time, so I was going to give him a harsh word if I didn’t do it properly.”
What appeared before the God of Mechanical Devices was a huge golden Buddha statue.
The dazzling golden flames were literally like the sun descending on the earth.
Even the god of mechanical devices forgot his destructive actions and faced the Buddha statue.
At the center of the Buddha statue was Ludger.
His eyes were red instead of blue as usual.
“Lifting the first stage of the sealing technique.”
