Episode 761. The Lord of the Wriggling Things, ‘Kaalut’ (6)

Kwaaang!

A hole appeared in the huge inner wall.

“Phew.”

Jinhyuk sighed and entered.

Boom boom boom!

A huge thumping sound greeted us first.

Its appearance is completely different from that of a human. It would be more accurate to call it a magic stone with a unique shape.

“Haaak. Haaak.”

“Oh, I almost died.”

“I don’t have any strength in my hands and feet, Master.”

The spirits who came together let out rough breaths.

As the saying goes, I was finally able to get here after making my way through a complex maze and countless parasitic bugs.

Naturally, you will have no choice but to exhaust your physical strength and magical power close to the limit.

Without this, it would have been impossible to get here in such a short time.

Jinhyuk threw the piece of flesh he was holding in his hand onto the floor.

A fragment of Kaalut’s clone body.

Because of its tendency to return to places with stronger and greater magical power, it was able to come to the place where the heart is.

“Thank you for your hard work. From now on, I’ll take charge.”

[The spirits are summoned back to the subspace.]

He sent the spirits away and took up two daggers instead.

Okay then.

Woohoo!

As if it had been waiting, something human-shaped appeared in front of the heart.

It is Kaalut’s clone.

It goes without saying that it is completely different from what I encountered in the stomach.

As the last goalkeeper guarding the vital spot, it would not be an exaggeration to say that its power and abilities were almost identical to the main body.

“You came much faster than I thought. So you were hiding my fragments?”

“That’s right. Thanks to you, I came comfortably.”

“Haha. You really are a man who knows everything. I didn’t know that information was even written in the Necronomicon. I am once again convinced that I must not hand that book over to that tough guy.”

Kaalut clicked his tongue as if he was amazed.

Then he took out a huge weapon made of thorns.

[The Holy Relic ‘Sword of Mercy’ is summoned!]

It was a terrifying sight, reminiscent of a medieval torture device. It looked as if even a passing touch would tear off all the flesh.

and.

This sword was endowed with effects as terrifying as its appearance.

[Penetration Effect: When defending, damage equivalent to 1% of the total damage is inflicted. Additionally, if the offset or deflection is not perfect, damage equivalent to 10% of the total damage is inflicted.]

‘You finally got it out.’

Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue.

The Sword of Mercy’s attack power is 15 million.

Just 1% of them would cause 150,000 damage.

‘I can’t quantify my health exactly like I do in games, but I’d say that even if I defend 100 times, it’s close to a critical hit.’

What if we allow 10% instead of 1%?

The game could be over in a matter of seconds.

Just as I wanted to seal the relics of Azathoth somehow, that sword was also one of those weapons I absolutely did not want to confront head-on if possible.

However, in this situation, whether I like it or not, I have no choice but to break through.

Jinhyuk took a stance.

Paaang!

It was Kaalut who announced the beginning.

The two daggers extended forward, taking advantage of the small gap between them to gauge the distance between them and their opponent.

As the storm swept in, greatswords rushed in.

Jinhyuk did a light backflip in line with that orbit.

With minimal movement, the sword struck with three additional trajectories simultaneously, making it difficult to dodge.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

As if it were a living, moving snake.

A swordsman with both speed and flexibility moved in search of prey.

However, no matter how cleverly he mixed in the lies, Jinhyeok was not easily fooled.

“That’s quite a feat. You didn’t just deflect it, you evaded everything.”

“I’m pretty good at close combat. Of course, I’m worried that you’ll get hurt since you rarely use your body, and you only deal with bugs.”

“Certainly. It’s rare for me to kill something with my own hands.”

Kaalut scratched his chin with his fingertips.

For a normal human or resident, it would be common for their mind to break down immediately upon encountering it.

Even those of heroic rank or stronger ones were able to rid themselves of the bugs in their bodies.

It is only natural that the sharpness of a sword would be lacking.

but.

“It shows that techniques are meaningless in the face of the superiority of the species.”

[Sword of Mercy ‘Appearance Change’ is activated!]

Tsk tsk tsk!

The irregularly placed thorns greatly expanded its size.

It looks like a giant sea urchin.

The intention of ‘just one’ can be seen.

at the same time.

[Kaalut activates ‘Spawning Ground of Extinction’!]

Something was stirring among the translucent eggs hanging here and there.

Push!

Push push!

The surface of the egg cracked and fluid spurted out.

“Keeeeee!”

“Shhh!”

One by one, two-meter-tall insects with a disgusting appearance began to crawl out. As a bonus, they were all carrying a huge lump of light green liquid on their backs.

That’s….

Jinhyuk instinctively put on the ‘Crown of Swiftness’.

It was because I felt an indescribable sense of discomfort from the bugs that rushed at me without regard for front or back.

And that ominous premonition proved to be spot-on.

“Keeeeee!”

… puff puff puff!

The bugs ran to where Jinhyuk was and blew themselves up.

The liquid also exploded, spraying a sticky secretion of unimaginable viscosity.

It’s not my intention to kill.

“Are you trying to tie me up?”

Jinhyuk increased his speed one more notch.

The sight of afterimages moving, leaving afterimages behind, was no longer something I could follow with my eyes.

“It’s just a means to an easy finish. No matter how good your instincts are, if you’re cornered like this….”

Kaalut appeared right next to Jinhyuk.

“…the escape route becomes easier to read.”

A purple flame appeared on the ‘Sword of Mercy’.

Since the reverse motion has been applied, this time I can’t dodge it.

Jinhyuk braced himself for the coming shock by clenching his molars.

Kwaaaaang!

“Eww!”

Red blood flowed out between his teeth.

Even though I had expected it and prepared myself for it, the shock I felt was far beyond my ability to perceive pain. Even though I was proud of myself for being a veteran when it came to pain, I couldn’t endure it without screaming.

Jinhyuk, who had been thrown around for a long time, calmed his trembling arms.

Fortunately, there were no bone injuries.

Thanks to the magical power transmitted through the ‘Blue Link’, damaged blood vessels were also quickly repaired.

But at this rate, it won’t be easy to even escape, let alone destroy the heart.

Of course, if you have enough time, you can figure out a strategy.

The problem is.

‘I don’t have time for that.’

Even as I was pondering this, the countdown continued.

“As you said, you are definitely different from Tulchana Gross.”

Still, it is a primordial being.

It seems that he doesn’t have any learning ability at all.

“Are you finally realizing the difference in status? If you just give up and hand over the crown and the Necronomicon, I will spare you a shameful death.”

“I think you’re misunderstanding something. What I’m feeling disappointed about is that I had to use a second card on you.”

Jinhyuk released all the magical power he had gathered at once.

[Activate ‘Time of the Returner’!]

Take out the second ability.

Jinhyuk threw down the gauntlet.

⁕⁕⁕

Same time.

Outside of Kaalut, the remaining members were fighting desperately against Kaalut’s bugs.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Pupupupu!

A swarm of bugs swarmed in, and the infected ancient dragons spammed out transcendent magic spells of more than 10 circles.

The shaking axis.

Jinhyeok’s stronghold was already on the verge of falling.

“Hold on somehow! What are you doing? You stinky feet!”

“Eww… If you pull on it… It’ll fall off. Stop. Stop!”

Ophelia shook the smelly ball roughly.

I gave it my all, but that has now reached its limit.

Actually, it was a miracle that I made it this far.

For Ophelia and Balseter, the primordial parasites and ancient dragons were nothing short of a natural disaster.

“Our side is also starting to get tired.”

The Green family’s Pinot Noir also showed signs of difficulty.

Although he had led all the green dragons and joined forces, his magical power slowly began to run out as the battle continued.

“Tch! You said that all I had to do was hold on. What on earth is going on in there?”

Jang Bo-kyung clicked her tongue.

If they didn’t end that giant bug right away, they would be the ones to perish.

Right then.

“mosquito?”

The sweet potato, which had been resting, raised its head as if reacting to something.

Because I felt a familiar yet unfamiliar magic.

“Mosquitoes… .”

The sweet potato, savoring the aftertaste of magic, nodded.

And immediately it spread its wings and flew into the sky.

There were infected ancient dragons there.

“Krrrr… .”

“Goooooo.”

There no longer exists a proud, noble, and supreme race.

A doll that has lost its reason and is now subordinate to Kaalut. All that remains is a puppet that must do whatever it is told.

[Sweet potato activates ‘Breath’!]

“Mosquitoes!”

It was not the Void Dragon Etherion, but the breath of the Hatching Sweet Potato.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The cowardly spirit struck the bodies of the ancient dragons.

Of course, the scales of the ancient dragons did not move at all at this mediocre temperature.

“Etherion.”

Dighashe looked at the sweet potatoes and smacked her lips.

All of my colleagues who came with me were defeated by that guy named Jinhyeok and their pride was crushed. If I could get rid of that ancient servant, I could restore some of my honor.

fortunately.

“It seems like you’ve run out of magic power. Judging by the fact that you can’t go back to that form.”

It seemed like there was no need to worry about that overwhelming monster running wild.

“Kill him.”

As soon as Dighashe’s command was given, various magic spells exploded.

Kwaaaaang!

It’s a direct hit.

The sweet potato covered in flames staggered.

“mosquito….”

He blinked his amber eyes and let out a labored breath.

But he never backed down.

Rather, he looked at the ancient dragons one by one with even clearer eyes.

“You’re an idiot. Don’t you know that even if you attack for a hundred days, it won’t be effective?”

The bitter smile on Digha’s lips grew deeper.

As soon as the command was given again, various magic spells poured out.

once.

Kwaaaaang!

Twice.

Phew!

And once again.

The one-sided violence continued for less than three minutes, to the point where it could be described as brutal. The difference in power was so obvious that it seemed pointless to endure it.

And yet.

“mosquito….”

The sweet potatoes held out.

I endured and got up again.

Even without magic power.

Even though I’m out of strength.

They spread their wings wide and did not lose the pride and light of their race.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do. Am I just stupid or am I just proud… hmm?”

Dighashe, who was speaking, looked upward.

A soft golden magical energy flowing from Kaalut’s body.

What is that?

Although it had no influence on itself, it was creating an unknown current among the dragons.

Magic resonates… .

… … stimulates something that should not be awakened.

no way.

Digha’s eyes dilated rapidly.

Because I witnessed the golden mist being sucked all into the sweet potato.

“Stop it!”

He gave the order to strike the final blow urgently.

however.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The ancient dragons didn’t move at all.

“Are you refusing his orders!? He ordered you to kill that ancient servant immediately!”

[‘Dragon Lord’ activates ‘Great Call’!]

The ‘Crown of Bravery’ glowed red.

[Sweet Potato activates ‘Void Dragon’s Fear’!]

“Mosquitoeeee!!!!”

A thunderous roar.

The desperate sound struck the self sealed deep within my body.

A small spark appeared in the empty pupils of the ancient dragons.

at the same time.

Pufufufu!

Phew!

“Keeeeee!”

“Keeeeee!”

The parasites that had dug into the bodies of the ancient dragons could not withstand the magical power and burst out.
