◈ Episode 619 Creation of the Giant (2)
Shoo shoo shoo!
Loteron felt a shiver run down his spine as he saw the metal sweeping before his eyes.
If I had been too late to escape just a little bit, I would have been torn to pieces by a huge chunk of metal.
Even the 6th rank wizard’s defensive magic is useless.
In the face of overwhelming power, it was like trying to stop a rain of bullets with a piece of paper.
‘Who else?’
Rather than thinking that he had survived, he wondered who had saved him.
“iced coffee. “It’s annoying.”
An unknown force led Loteron to the owner of the voice.
Only then could Loteron be seen. A man with a pale appearance who, unlike usual, was not wearing a mask.
“Lord Andrache?”
Loteron called out to him, but Andrashu just frowned and glared at the God of Mechanical Devices.
For Andrasche, this was a very complicated and unpleasant situation.
‘I suddenly heard that the New Magic Tower was attacked, so I came here and asked, “What on earth is that?”
Andrasche felt a headache coming on.
No matter how you look at the machine-covered being that is currently shaking the New Magic Tower, it is clear that it is some kind of experiment that Nikolai was secretly creating.
In the first place, if it weren’t for Nikolai, there was no way something like that would suddenly pop out.
‘It’s a pain in the ass.’
The reason I joined hands with Nikolai was because we wanted to do business together, not out of favor.
In fact, once this is over, each side is secretly thinking of excluding the other.
The situation that occurred now was nothing more than the result of Nikolai moving one step faster.
On the other hand, the same thing was embarrassing for Loteron.
Andrasche, who could be said to be the core of the faction opposing him, not only showed up like this, but also helped him.
The relationship between the two wasn’t bad on the surface, but it was also true that they weren’t that close since they belonged to completely separate factions.
Andrashu could have left Loteron to die instead of saving him in that situation.
Still, Loteron found it surprising that he had saved him.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I just wanted to say thank you for your help.”
“joy. No matter how much we growl, we are not foolish enough to fight over an enemy targeting the Magic Tower like that.”
“That too.”
Have you ever had an open conversation like this?
To be sure, it was the first time.
Loteron lived by hiding his identity with a mask.
Andrasche has been suppressing his power with a mask.
They were talking together after taking off their masks.
Loteron thought there was something really interesting about this situation.
It seemed crazy to think of such sentiments while the Magic Tower was under attack, but I couldn’t shake the thought.
‘Was it because of magic that he always wore a mask and spoke longer?’
Loteron finally realized why Andrashu spoke like that.
That’s why Andrashu was hiding the fact that he was using magic.
He didn’t hesitate to use it to save himself.
“What is the enemy’s strength? “How strong is it?”
“To be honest, I don’t know. “It’s impossible to guess.”
“Hmm. “It looks like that.”
He was shaking the New Magic Tower with his single body.
I felt anxious that if there had been no interference here, the towering spire at the center of Isla Machina might have collapsed.
‘You mean you were holding out against such a monster?’
How can you estimate the level of someone who is fighting a magic tower alone?
Even Clinton, who has reached the 7th level, a level that humans cannot ascend to, would not be able to break through the strong defenses of the God Magic Tower.
That said, it seemed reasonable to regard the monster in front of me as at least a 7th rank.
“You have to be careful. “That monster uses metal freely.”
“Can I become an iron-colored wizard?”
“Even that is the minimum. Each of the four mechanical arms floating around is equivalent to a 6th rank wizard.”
Where is that?
The guy’s power seemed to have no limit to its maximum.
In addition, it is an attack that fires a huge repulsive force towards the target that is looking at it.
It was a power that could bring tremendous fear and pressure to the opponent simply by turning one’s head without warning.
“Is it possible to win?”
“If I had planned on losing, I wouldn’t have even tried to fight.”
Loteron spoke in a hopeful tone for the first time.
“Because there is hope for us too.”
Immediately afterwards, a golden palm pressed the god of machinery hard from the top of his head.
The God of Mechanical Devices retrieved two of the mechanical arms pulling the magic tower and confronted the palms of the falling Buddha statue.
Not one, but two.
The power of the Buddha statue was great, but even more than that, it felt like I was seeing emotions that I had never seen before.
“this.”
Andrashu muttered unconsciously as he looked at the man floating in the center of the Buddha statue.

I wondered what kind of crazy monster could use that kind of power, and he seemed quite familiar to me.
At the same time, Andrasche felt a strange sense of relief.
If I had chosen to fight Ludger to the end at that time, it would have been me, not that steel monster, who would face that golden statue.
Or rather, he wasn’t even given the opportunity to face the golden statue.
He became a 6th rank wizard and was praised as one of the most powerful in the New Magic Tower. Since he had even mastered a unique type of magic, Andrashu felt internally satisfied with the fact that he was a strong person.
But at this moment, I became acutely aware of how much of a frog in the well he was.
Andrasche’s appetite whetted as he felt like he was facing a wall.
The good news was that the current situation was not relaxed enough to cause frustration.
The surrounding space rumbled due to the collision between the Buddha statue and the mechanical arm.
The steam that was flooding everywhere was washed away, and a dazzling light burst out.
The explosion forced the power struggle to end.
As if it was no longer possible to maintain this power, the size of the Buddha statue floating behind Ludger’s back became smaller than before.
The God of Mechanical Devices saw this as an opportunity and aimed his remaining arm at Ludger.
The power of steel was activated.
All kinds of metal scattered around the fallen debris on the floor.
It floated in the air upon receiving a command from the God of Mechanical Devices and began to gather around it.
Why!
Debris of all sizes and shapes gathered and moved around the body.
Even if tens of thousands of bees gathered together and flapping their wings, it would be quieter than this.
The wizards of the Magic Tower were speechless at the sight, which looked like a school of sardines in the sea moving together.
It’s not just a sardine.
They have the power to tear apart even predators that try to devour them.
The leader of the sardine school turned his head toward Ludger.
A march of steel through the air.
Instead of holding out its hand, the Buddha statue behind Ludger put its hands together.
Then, countless hands like wings bloomed behind his back.
Thousands of Arhats (千手羅漢)
The golden palms, which had shrunk in size but numbered as many as a thousand, intercepted the flying metals.
Burbubububbung!
Ludger and the god of machinery.
In the air between the two, hundreds of lights disappeared and turned off repeatedly every second.
A beautiful and dazzling clash of powers.
Those who moved without being distracted by it aimed at the God of Mechanical Devices.
Berom, with his red mane of hair flying, raised his sword and swung it horizontally towards the Gishin’s neck.
A solid black line drawn in the air sharply targeted the gaps between the machine’s armor.
However, Kishin did not respond with defense.
Because there was no need to do that.
Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Berom’s blow only cut through the countless steel fragments surrounding the machine, but did not even properly reach the contents inside.
It was the same with Whiron’s attack.
“Holy shit! “The defense is too thick!”
This had not been the case before, but as the fight dragged on, the situation changed.
The Gishin with the iron-colored body of a wizard could exert greater power the more metal he had.
Moreover, the battlefield they were fighting in was Isla Machina, which was overflowing with the most metal in the world.
Traces of destruction caused by fighting against Gishin. All kinds of debris created within it became the hands and feet weapons of Gishin.
The mechanical arm moved.
When he snapped his fingers as if he was controlling a puppet, some pieces of metal began to gather in front of him and form a single shape.
“It’s going to increase further?”
What was completed was another mechanical arm.
It was a little smaller in size and shape compared to the four arms the kishin wielded, but it was definitely the right arm.
Each arm moved one by one to form one arm.
With this, the number of large mechanical arms handled by Gishin increased to eight.
What’s more serious is that although there are currently 8, there is no way to know how many the number will increase in the future.
What if we can keep making it as long as we have enough materials?
It is said to be a deteriorated version compared to the main body, but even taking that into account, the power of at least one arm will easily surpass that of a 5th rank wizard.
We shouldn’t waste time like this.
[Scatter away]
Andrashu’s command has been activated.
There was no need to hide or measure strength.
Andrasche used all of his arms, even the mouths, to show off the maximum output he could unleash.
Puzzle!
Another mechanical arm that was being created lost its strength, became limp, and soon dispersed like powder.
Love it!
Some of the angry crowd of steel broke away and targeted Andrashu.
But Andrasche did not come here alone.
“Everybody move!”
The War Mage unit directly led by Andrashu intercepted the flying debris.
Wizards from the New Magic Tower also joined in.
While they restored the downed magic tower’s interception system, those who knew how to fight came out of the magic tower and activated their own magic towards Gishin.
The National Guard, which had prepared its posture, also stepped forward.
While evacuating the citizens, they attacked Gishin using special artifacts rather than metal.
As the attacks came from all directions, the pieces of metal gathered by the kishin gradually began to shrink.
It was as if the strong rock was being chipped away from the surface by the strong rain.
There was still a lot of metal, like pitch black clouds, but if we kept pushing forward like this, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to hit its main body.
However, Kishin did not sit still and suffer.
Flash!
The moment golden light burst through a gap in the dark clouds, a huge repulsive force was generated and swept across the island.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The 5th floor of Isla Machina collapsed at once as an unprecedented force swept through it.
A whopping 30%.
Kugugoogung!
It is said that Isla Machina gets narrower as the floors go up, but that is relatively true. The 5th floor was not that narrow.
However, he had eliminated close to 30% of the area with one blow.
If you consider that the collapsing debris falls like a landslide to the fourth floor, the extent of damage goes up even more exponentially.
And this could not be dismissed as simple destruction.
If you think about what the collapsed and fallen ‘rubles’ are made of, the answer comes right away.
The god of machinery has activated the power of steel.
The collapsed debris floated into the air.
A very large number of new people have joined the crowd of steel that had somehow been whittled down.
Up to eight mechanical arms directly led the crowd.
Like a conductor leading an orchestra, the steel clouds moved in various shapes in sync with the movement of the mechanical arm shaking its fingers.
“How can I beat that!”
The wizards of the New Magic Tower showed signs of despair at the sight that transcended common sense.
The machine that moved steel of unbelievable scale and had endless strength was nothing short of a disaster in itself.
The weak-hearted person knelt down and prayed.
People doing similar things began to appear one after another everywhere.
Jiyiing.
The light of the halo above the head of the god of machinery became stronger.
Although faint, another ring was forming on the outer edge of the double halo.
‘no way.’
Ludger bit his lip as he looked at that.
Is it because it’s made of relics?
The God of Mechanical Devices was sucking the ‘faith’ out of those who worshiped him with fear.
The more faith you gain, the stronger the Halo light becomes, and as the number of people who despair like this increases, the power of the Kishin becomes uncontrollably strong.
Just as Ludger realized that, Andrasche also realized that and uttered a command.
[Everyone, calm down]
The power of the words spread throughout the battlefield and seeped into the hearts of the people.
The people who were kneeling in prayer were puzzled when they realized their actions too late.
You say you’re scared, but you suddenly start praying?
As the power flowing into the Halo stopped, the God of Mechanisms glared at Andrashu.
An unprecedented power that can push you away and crush you just by looking at it.
Just before it was activated, Ludger came out.
“Where are you looking?”
Some of the more than a thousand arms reached the body of the kishin and struck it.
Thanks to that, he was able to avoid eye contact, but Gishin still had no intention of leaving Andrashu alone.
The newly created additional mechanical arm fired its fist towards Andrasche.
Andrasche looked disappointed when he saw the iron fist that could easily break the speed of sound flying towards him.
Loteron and Berom Huiron stepped forward to block it, but there was still one arm left.
Now that the power of words was being activated, there was no time to avoid or block it.
‘Is this the end?’
Just when Andrasche was about to give up.
Something grabbed Andrasche from behind and pulled him to the side.
Just like Andrasche saved Loteron.
Andrasche was puzzled as he looked down from the sky at the sight of a mechanical arm digging into the ground and blowing away the entire surrounding area.
‘Who on earth?’
Andrasche was even more embarrassed when he saw the person who grabbed his back and dragged him.
“A wolf?”
An unusual wolf was stomping in the air, biting its collar.
