I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists - I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists chapter 77

Episode 77. Planning vs Improvisation

-The Quagga River!

A series of beams of light falling into the slum area.

The explosion of magical power that flew in like a meteor and occurred at the place of the crash was so powerful that if it hit the bare body, one would have to be prepared to suffer fatal injuries.

From Noble mtl dot com

‘It’s not just an explosion of magical power. ‘The power of an attack that clearly has mass was amplified by leaving it to gravity.’

Rather than targeting the enemy right away, the attack is aimed at the enemy accurately, reaching the target point in minutes.

Even those who are ignorant of strategy will immediately understand how ridiculous it is to aim for that.

‘But what’s more annoying than the shooting star is the trap combo. Since it is a time-staggered activation that cannot be controlled directly or remotely, it is not easy to predict the activation time here.’

Of course, even if it is secretly hidden, you can feel the magic power of the trap and determine its location with just your senses, but if you are only wary of that location, at some point, your body will be hit by a meteor falling on your head.

It’s not an immediate attack, but a strategy that forces you into a staggered attack where you don’t know when it will strike…….

Is it really possible based on common sense to understand all the movements of an opponent you are meeting for the first time and accurately hit a time lag attack?

“Are you a prophet?”

The conclusion to the speculation was reached by the time it reached the Gwangjang Department.

Marylin began to contrast the enemies before her with the so-called prophets she had once encountered.

“Yes, just like you said… I am an astrologer who can see the future by reading the movements of the stars.”

As it focuses on prophecy, the power itself is not threatening.

As the number of years we have lived is no different from what it seems, our history will also not exceed the limits of humans who have lived for only a few decades.

However, the dangerous thing about the opponent is not the power itself, but the unexpectedness, and in reality, he was unable to make a significant counterattack and was only pushed back to this point.

“That’s why I foresaw that you would come here and came to exclude you from his side.”

Although preliminary preparation may be necessary, on the contrary, if you are already prepared, you are an entity that can tenaciously push back against overwhelmingly strong enemies.

Such preparations went beyond setting traps by coming here earlier and were continuing in full force even at this moment of confrontation.

“Did you read in the future that your companion would be taken away, so you came here to stop it?”

The magical power felt in the crystal ball held in her hand.

It is probably being emitted because it is using its unique technique to create meteors in the atmosphere even while having a conversation.

“The mad clown, Mephisto Rage.”

As she was thinking about how to respond to that, her true identity came out from her mouth as she was glaring at her.

I was surprised for a moment, but that surprise only lasted for a moment.

No matter how good you are at camouflage, your opponent is a prophet.

In order to read the future, you need to know how to read the past, which is the basis, so it would be easy to figure out the identity of the disguised opponent.

“I feel sorry for you.”

But what follows is completely unexpected.

The pitiful face that appeared with him showed that his current statement was not just a pretense.

“When you say you pity me, do you mean me?”

“Yes, even though you are a member of the Demon King’s army that crossed countless dimensions and committed invasion and destruction… …. “The purpose was not to destroy or plunder, but to please my lord.”

The concept of sin was created by humans to protect society, but in a world that is collapsing, what use is it to follow human rules?

If you have to be honest, you must first consider whether the target is harmful to you.

In that sense, the person in front of me was a being who could be said to be ‘harmless’ to humanity, at least as long as it did not interfere with him.

“… “If, just by chance, he wanted to choose you.”

So her Airi could not help but sympathize with her.

Because he had lived in the void for an infinitely long time, he was also able to respect the feeling that he had come to regard the beings remaining in his memories as special.

“Even if you can’t give up on him, you might be convinced that he chose you. “Because he was hungry for people after coming to this world, he tends to respond sensitively to favors toward him.”

Even if a man who wants to make her his companion falls in love with her, a part of her may have accepted it, even if she rebels against it.

If the meeting had occurred purely as a man versus a woman.

“But I only understand after seeing it face to face like this. “After all, you shouldn’t be around him.”

“Ahahahaha~ This is a very greedy person. If you knew what happened between me and him, you would have definitely read that he has feelings for me…….”

“You were planning to die with Hyoseong, right?”

-Suddenly.

A frantic devil who closes his mouth at the next words.

Even in such silence, the reverberation of her magical power could be felt growing thicker in the sky, but Marylin tried to engage in conversation with her without paying attention to her.

“… Well, I can’t say for sure. Coincidentally, I am also unable to predict how I will act.”

“Now, that’s what I’m talking about… ….”

“Demons are beings who are faithful to their desires. “Once you get what you want, from then on you just do whatever you want.”

As he said, he himself does not know what will happen next.

She could only vaguely guess that if she hadn’t intruded, she would have shared her lust with him as much as she could, no matter what happened to her afterwards.

“Even if the result of doing as you like like that leads to destruction, can you understand it?”

“No matter what the outcome, there will be happiness in the end.”

Even though she made the extreme choice that she said would come to fruition in the end, her own magic has the effect of paralyzing the reason of those who are infatuated with it.

The pleasure that comes from it is more stimulating and addictive than any other drug.

There is no way that you will be unhappy if you are engrossed in it.

“Wouldn’t it be better if it happened that way? “No matter how miserable we live in a world that is destined to end soon, both demons and humans alike live in despair.”

A final filled with pleasure rather than the torture of hope…

Some people may see it as an ideal way to live in a world on the verge of destruction.

If the Empire had not created the technology to actually mass-produce saviors called heroes, this world would be so full of despair that most people would have lived only dreaming of a comfortable death.

“… “I don’t have anything else to listen to.”

But she is the last successor of the Haven clan.

With a mission to protect the future of destruction, there was no way she could agree to such a ridiculous opinion.

“After all, you have to get out of here.”

A man who wants to achieve that mission.

We must not allow ourselves to be played by the devil’s tricks like this.

“… “You sound quite confident.”

And the same goes for devils who view others as detestable.

There is no way that someone who can make a prophecy so perfect that it pushes oneself could not have predicted the mortality of this world.

It is not difficult to predict that a person facing such a future will become obsessed with a single human being and pass on that much responsibility.

“No matter how much I am the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s army, I still have the power to protect myself… ….”

Yes, the person in front of me is probably trying to push him into the thorny path.

It is a purpose that is in no way compatible with one’s own.

Recommending to live by emphasizing the hope that could not exist was an action that was considered sinful to the devil, who had lived his whole life under the torture of hope that his master would return.

“… “I’m sorry, but you’ve already been caught in a trap.”

So, for his sake, I have to think about getting rid of that woman first.

The moment I was about to rush into that thought, my expression began to harden as I felt a sense of discomfort right at my feet.

-Blah blah blah, blah!!!

Attacks of sharp crystals rising up without even having time to step.

I tried to avoid the attack as much as possible, but it was difficult to avoid them all.

Tearing clothes and skin.

The trap that took several hours to create after arriving here succeeded in reaching even a being in the ranks of the transcendental.

‘Don’t relax, Airi, even if your opponent is the weakest, you are the highest ranking official of the Demon King’s army. ‘We have to end it here without any further delay!’

That momentary gap is the necessary condition for striking a final blow.

-Quaga River, boom!

A meteor shower breaks through the atmosphere and hits the crystal forest that rises in the square, and the crystal pieces that split and spread out in all directions expand the magic stored inside, causing a chain of explosions.

Even though its power may be weak, it will be enough to create reflexive caution in the opponent.

‘Even if you can change the future with a whim, even that whim tends to go in a limited direction if your personal life is threatened.’

Yes, what is needed is not just relying on prophecy, but a plan that can minimize the variables that could deviate from prophecy.

Even if the attack does not hit the mark, if the result is that you are cornered in the designated spot, then you are inducing the opponent to move as you wish from then on.

Saturation was applied indiscriminately, but the focus was on the outskirts rather than the entire region.

With the shower of meteors pouring down like that, the avoidance point is gradually narrowed down, and the final blow is struck at a stable location that has been unconsciously found.

-Quaaang!

The moment when a meteor with great power, corresponding to the decisive blow, struck the relevant spot.

The resulting storm caused crystal fragments and dust to fly in all directions, and Airi’s expression as she watched the scene fell.

‘I was hoping this would be the end…’

-Trudge, trudge.

The sound of quiet footsteps.

As if to prove that it was not an illusion, the person who had separated the dust began to close the distance between them with a relaxed smile.

It was as if my body was teaching me that I was healthy enough to move my body without any serious injury, even though I was in shock.

“hehehe, I was lucky. “Because I avoided a direct hit.”

Luck. This is nonsense.

In the first place, the barrage was poured out as if to narrow the siege net, controlling the opponent’s movements, and inducing a powerful blow to the position so induced.

Minimizing the damage means that he ‘directly received the attack himself’ and escaped the range ahead of time.

If you want to protect yourself, you inevitably avoid an attack that gives you a sense of danger, but you can instantly demonstrate the wit to take it with your body.

Even if you have lived in the void for eternity, does that mean that even your accomplishments are meaningless?

-Bloody enemy!

However, this side also assumed that the first trap would be destroyed, and designed the trap to be activated with a time difference in the direction the opponent expected to come.

The trick of stabbing in without a moment of hesitation to avoid being bombarded will be enough to deliver a decisive blow to an opponent with low defense.

“Why are you doing that?”

That attack was one step.

I missed with just one step to the side.

“W-what…” ….”

“Oh my~ why are you so embarrassed? “I just moved this way because I wanted to, but is it really possible that you didn’t get this far with that brilliant prophecy?”

-Quang!!

Right after that, a falling meteor crashes behind her.

But this time there wasn’t even an evasive move.

I only slightly increased my walking speed, but even that was a ‘radical’ action without much warning.

“After all, the future is ultimately based on the past.”

After that, the frantic demon continued to move languidly, narrowing the distance by ignoring the traps it had set up.

The behavior was very irregular, and his face did not even show the confidence that he had destroyed the opponent’s prediction.

Just whatever you feel like.

As a species faithful to their desires, they just smile leisurely, as if they are following their hearts.

“In other words, that brilliant prophecy is also based on information accumulated in the past… …. “If you had predicted everything from the beginning, you could have killed him immediately from the beginning without wasting time, but using such a cumbersome strategy proves that your prophecy was not perfect.”

-Kurung, boom!

She moves around the scene that is still in chaos as if she is dancing.

She had dodged all the attacks coming from heaven and earth, and before she knew it, she had taken out her instrument and was ready to play it aimed at her.

“But what about this? “If I do something with sincerity, I don’t even know how to move myself.”

That scene just felt shocking to her Airi.

No matter how much the whim of the transcendent can change the future, whim is not something that can be caused intentionally.

Even if you define it as a whim, if it is ‘intentional’, the God of Destruction who observes this planet puts even that in the category of prediction and derives an accurate future.

Even if a whim occurred, its omens could be confirmed as long as it was nearby, so I thought it would be possible to read its movements if I encountered it in person.

‘But that only applies to general transcendental people… …. This does not apply to these demons at all.’

Yes, the opponent is a demon whose source is madness.

Insanity means that you are not even aware of your own actions, so if you make a decision and become absorbed in it, all your actions will be spontaneous.

The whimsy does not stop once, but continuously, and has an unexpected tendency to never know when or where it will happen…….

A being who can be said to be an ‘opposite’ to a prophet who puts even one or two whims into the category of a plan.

“Well, I think you’ve given us a roughly prepared show, but now it’s my turn to perform.”

-Jijijijik!

“The theme song for you would be enough as a requiem song, right!?”

A string that is roughly plucked by a finger.

The sound waves created based on the roar are amplified by magical power and begin to shoot forward.

– Pow!!! Pugh!!!!

From Noble mtl dot com

Continuous explosion of sound waves.

The attack was fired in all directions, crushing the abandoned house at the point where it hit, and Airi’s body, caught in the storm, was lying in the collapsed ruins.

‘I avoided a direct hit, but this made all the plans I had made so far meaningless.’

My body hurts, but I can’t stop. First of all, the priority is to hide yourself in the dust surrounding you and increase the distance from your opponent.

At least we know that the opponent has no answer from the front, so we should hide in a safe place and adjust our strategy.

“Wow!!”

But the other person has no intention of giving that kind of leeway.

The devil instinctively stepped into the place to run away, and grabbed the prophet’s neck without hesitation with his hands, preparing to lift his body.

“Puh, hahahahaha~!”

Without even the slightest bit of seriousness.

With a smile befitting his nickname, ‘Frenzy Devil.’

“Peekaboo~♡”

The moment I felt a shiver run down my spine from that smile.

-Quang!!

Before I could react, my body was thrown with all my might and was thrown mercilessly against the wall of the ruins.
