◈ Episode 622 Fulfillment of Promise (2)
Blood-red lightning dyed the surrounding area red.
It was as if a huge firework had exploded in the center of Isla Machina, which was filled with only small lights flashing in the darkness.
The lights of a huge night city that can be seen from all over the island.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, people were captivated by its powerful power and beauty.
Some of the black iron pieces were caught in the blood and turned red, scattering like powder.
A voice came to Ludger’s ear through the red pieces fluttering and falling in the air.
-I told you to save that power. I couldn’t wait to write it.
Grandeur’s voice came through the falling red pieces.
Not only was it not enough to use magic from such a distance, but he was even able to transmit his own voice.
The 8th level magic was not known as a ‘legend’ for nothing.
The distance between Lederbelk and Isla Machina is at least 2000km.
The accuracy of hitting the desired target in an instant from that distance.
‘Even orbital bombardment wouldn’t be this bad.’
Ludger asked Grandeur with a chuckle.
“Are you ready to work again now?”
-I have always been the same from the beginning.
“How did you know I was here?”
-The wavelength of that power is also a wavelength, but didn’t you shed drops of blood without my permission?
Are you saying that he realized that his disciple was in danger because of the smell of blood?
They say that sharks can smell a drop of diluted blood from 1km away, but isn’t this on a much higher level than that?
– Opening up your power to that extent means that you have now completed your mental preparation.
“….”
-Are you trying to cover it up with silence? You clearly made a pact with me.
“Yes, I did.”
Ludger recalled the promise he had made with Grander in the past.
I want you to kill me someday using the power of God.
That’s what Grander said to Ludger when he was young.
There was no way I could forget that promise.
-Are you still hesitating? What a foolish disciple you are. Being cold-hearted is just an appearance.
“Master.”
-done. It would be foolish to ask such a weak guy a favor. So, I will pretend that I had no plans that day.
Ludger’s eyes widened when he heard that he was canceling his promise.
“What do you mean?”
-That’s literally it. Just pretend that you didn’t hear the promise of that day.
“Are you saying there is another way?”
-What are you going to do with that? You don’t have to force yourself to keep a promise you don’t like, so just eat with peace of mind. Please consider helping you now as a final gift and farewell to me as the teacher who once taught you.
“What a farewell. “What does that mean?”
-That’s it.
“Master!”
Ludger shouted, glaring at the crumbling red pieces.
-…The guy who didn’t shout even if he died soon has grown so much.
What is the uniqueness in that voice?
Ludger tried to argue with Grander, but ended up failing.
The fact that he said that meant that he had already made up his mind.
The person who always emphasized promises so much suddenly says there is no need to keep them?
It was clear that something else had happened.
“Let’s go back and talk about the details.”
I spoke to Grander, but there was no answer.
The red pieces that were all around had already disappeared without a trace.
But Ludger thought Grnder had heard him.
“I originally had a reason to go back, but it looks like I have to go back sooner.”
Ludger muttered that and stared coldly at the God of Mechanical Devices.
The god of mechanical devices was hit by a blood lightning thrown by Grander and was in a state of considerable shock.
Kishin is shaking like a paralyzed person.
However, if he was in that state even after being hit by Grander’s attack, it was safe to say that he was actually fine.
A gap that was long-awaited.
Ludger grabbed Terraron’s arm and rushed towards the God of Mechanical Devices.
The God of Mechanical Devices saw Ludger approaching and gathered all the remaining mechanical arms.
Excluding the two arms that were destroyed by Terraron’s arm and the two arms that were swept away by the blood lightning a little while ago, the remaining four were the original four.
All of them flew towards Ludger.
Ludger did not back down even after seeing mechanical arms approaching sequentially from different directions.
The God of Mechanical Devices laughed at Ludger’s reckless behavior.
The double halo was still shining overhead.
It was said that the power to distort that famous space could not be used.
At that time, I was thinking of crushing Ludger’s body like this.
The black knight wearing a dark red slash swung his sword at the mechanical arm.
Because it only targeted Ludger, a mechanical arm was cut off defenselessly by an attack from the side.

There were three mechanical arms left, but Berom was not the only one who appeared to stop the god of mechanical devices.
“Now we’re really breaking it!”
Huiron, who was emitting pure white steam from his body, thrust out his right fist that flickered blue.
The most powerful blow that squeezed out all of one’s magical power.
“Supermassive Impact!”
Hwiron’s fist completely crushed one of the mechanical arms.
These are the two remaining arms.
“please. Andrasche.”
“I don’t like this, but I can’t help it.”
Loteron and Andrashu each activated their magic.
“Great ancient spirit, my ancestor who built up karma, please lend me your strength to respond to the call of this descendant.”
[Be strong. Forget the pain. Squeeze out all your magical power. [Do not hesitate.]
Loteron put the great souls into his body one by one.
Andrashu used the mouths of both hands to cast a spell with words towards Loteron.
A pure white energy rose around Loteron’s body like a haze, and his long hair turned white.
Loteron, whose hair had changed color, rushed toward the last two mechanical arms with beastly eyes shining, swinging his hands as if crossing them.
Kwazijic!
The two remaining mechanical arms were torn off at an angle as if they had been clawed by a huge beast at Loteron’s gesture.
With that blow, Loteron’s hair color returned to its original state and the exhausted Loteron slowly fell to the ground.
“please. “Mr. Ludger.”
With Loteron’s last words, Ludger arrived right in front of the god of machinery.
The God of Mechanical Devices, who had lost all of his vaunted mechanical arms, tried to shine his eyes at Ludger, but something covered his face before he could.
It was Terraron’s hand.
“Aaaahhh!”
As soon as Terraron’s hand touched it, the God of Mechanical Devices began to struggle.
Even though he was wearing a hard suit, he even struggled with his legs as if he felt pain.
Grumble.
A thick, black liquid flowed like blood from a gap in the mechanical suit.
The solid suit armor completely disintegrated and fell to the floor.
Inside, all that remained was a human body with only the muscles remaining and a black sphere embedded in the heart.
Terraron’s arm used up its last power and completely rusted, turning into powder and disappearing.
“It’s over now.”
Ludger stretched out his arm and grabbed Shinro.
And I pulled it out with all my might.
Sigh!
The God of Mechanical Devices, from whom Shinro was chosen, was unable to resist in any way and fell helplessly to the ground.
Ludger held the Shinro in one hand and looked down at it quietly.
The steel clouds that were still around fell to the ground under the influence of gravity when their owner disappeared.
“Is this the end?”
“done! “We won!”
From the wizards of the Magic Tower to the warlocks of the National Guard.
When the natural disaster-like situation ended, they burst into cheers without anyone else taking the lead.
“That teacher. “You really finished it.”
Cravat, sitting on the roof of the half-destroyed building, rolled his eyes to find Ludger.
It was unclear where Ludger had gone after defeating the monster that would destroy this island.
* * *
“damn! damn! “What the hell is this?”
Nikolai ran away.
Although he ran away after being treated harshly by Gariel, he still gave him an unforgettable gift before leaving.
It was a shame that things didn’t go the way he wanted, but as long as there was a God of Mechanical Devices, he was virtually invincible on this island.
I definitely thought so.
Until I watched the Shinro of Kishin being pulled out by Ludger’s hand.
John Doe. It’s him again. I don’t know what he did, but he killed God.
A chill of fear ran down Nikolai’s spine.
The god he created met a tragic end.
He became hostile to the Magic Tower and his entire forces collapsed.
For Nikolai, there was no foundation left on Isla Machina.
‘We must run away.’
Nikolai decided to escape Isla Machina.
A means of escaping the island was prepared in case of an emergency.
All we had to do was go to the continent and establish a new foundation.
Nikolai’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an animal echoing from beyond the dark alley.
Crumble.
What appeared through the darkness and faint vapor was a large wolf spirit beast.
It had caught Nikolai’s scent and immediately followed him as he ran away.
“Go away!”
Nikolai tried to cast out magic to drive it away, but the magic was not used properly due to the internal injuries he received in the fight with Gariel.
The wolf snorted at Nikolai and was about to show his teeth, but suddenly stopped.
“Hey Nikolai. I never thought I would be cornered like this. “I thought you would still smile leisurely until the end.”
Nikolai’s face, seeing the new person, was filled with both surprise and joy.
“Zero Order!”
Zero order.
He was smiling leisurely as usual.
Although he was a harmless person on the outside, the wolf spirit immediately recognized the true nature of Zero Order.
Therefore, he seemed unusually nervous.
Nikolai, who was delighted with the appearance of the Zero Order, was twisted into despair when he belatedly realized his situation.
This was because he did not know what it meant that Zero Order appeared in front of him after failing in his mission.
“My Lord Zero. “I can explain the whole situation.”
“What difference will it make if I explain it?”
“That…”
“Nikolai. You were a very capable man. Also, I wanted to be recognized more than anyone else. “I would say the loyalty was deep.”
Zero Order shook his head as if he had already figured out the situation when he came to this island.
“But that too is over now.”
“Now wait a minute! Please give me one more chance!”
“opportunity? “Ah, you really thought I was here to punish you?”
“Isn’t that it?”
In response to Nikolai’s question, Zero Oder shook his shoulders and burst into laughter.
“No way. “When have I ever held you accountable for failing a mission?”
“That…”
When I thought about it, it wasn’t there.
Isn’t he the one who knew and condoned the competition between the First Order in the first place?
A light of hope bloomed on Nikolai’s face.
“Then you came to save me…!”
“Oh, of course not that either.”
“yes?”
Nikolai’s face became dumbfounded.
“Then why go to Isla Machina….”
“I didn’t come to this island to see you. I was just mildly interested in what you made. But even that ended up being nothing more than a toy, so it broke. “I feel like I came late, but anyway…all my business on this island is over.”
“Zero Order?”
“I will not punish you.”
Zero Order smiled kindly at Nikolai and said something completely opposite.
“But I won’t save you either.”
Those words turned into a huge rock and fell on Nikolai.
Nikolai’s spirit was horribly broken by the reality that he had been abandoned by the one he served.
“Guardian of the Ulburg family. I’m sorry for interrupting your meal. “I’m just passing by, so I can just pretend not to notice and keep doing what I was doing.”
The wolf spirit beast stared at Zero Order with eyes full of wariness and suspicion.
Zero Order shrugged and stepped back.
He naturally disappeared into the darkness of the alley.
After confirming that Zero Order had left, the wolf spirit glared at Nikolai and rushed towards him with his mouth wide open.
Argh!
Nikolai’s scream echoed in the steam along with the sound of raw flesh being bitten.
* * *
After finishing the situation, Ludger hurriedly arrived at where Line was.
I felt anxious for a moment as I saw signs of destruction and fighting nearby, but after remembering that Cravat had come to the scene to provide support, I calmly entered the hideout.
When I entered the room on the third floor, I saw Rine sleeping soundly.
Her expression seemed more calm than before, as if the removal of divine power had been completely completed.
However, the rapidly fluctuating space-attribute magic inside Linne’s body told her that the work was not over yet.
“Are you here?”
Gariel came into the room first.
Looking at her body and body, it was clear that Gariel had also had a difficult fight.
“What are the ingredients?”
“For now, I brought as much as I could. Even the most important cells of the World Tree.”
“wait.”
Ludger immediately took the ingredients prepared by Gariel and headed to the laboratory in the next room.
Using the tools prepared in advance, I made the recovery medicine according to the combination I had thought of in advance.
Gariel followed Ludger in and watched the process closely.
A drug was made by purifying the ingredients inside a small reagent bottle.
Faint light green liquid.
Ludger’s expression after confirming that was not good.
“what? What on earth…”
Originally, this light green color should have changed to a transparent color over time.
However, no matter how long I waited, the current drug showed no signs of changing color.
Something is wrong with the combination.
Ludger immediately opened the notebook and reviewed the combination formula written inside.
“stabilizator. Yes, you need a tranquilizer.”
Because the cells of the World Tree have such powerful vitality, any mistake could cause side effects to the user.
Just as excessive regenerative power actually increases cancer cells.
For that, a fairly strong stabilizer was needed, and that was what was missing now.
“There must have been tranquilizers in the lab, right?”
“Stabilizers…”
Gariel recalled the list in the lab and shook her head.
“no. “There was none.”
Gariel’s expression also became serious.
Didn’t Nikolai, who experimented with the cells of the World Tree, have a tranquilizer?
But if it had been there, there was no way he wouldn’t have found it.
‘no way.’
Gariel suddenly had this thought.
What if Nikolai, who ran away at that time, had disposed of all the tranquilizers?
“…What are the ingredients for the stabilizer needed? “At least there will be something in it.”
“Greenbelle root Alaure petals Mantanis sap. “What we need are these three, but there is no way to get them right now because one comes from the northern snow mountains and the other two only come from the southern rainforest.”
Kugit.
The page Ludger was holding could not withstand the force and crumpled.
“There is no way.”
“no.”
Ludger looked back at Gariel in silence.
“There is a way.”
“You…”
Seeing Gariel’s eyes filled with determination, Ludger sensed what he was going to do and widened his eyes.
“Are you now…”
In response to Ludger’s question, Gariel just grinned.
As if this were our last goodbye.
Tick.
The sound of the hour hand rotating resounds.
like that.
The world stopped.
