Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 274

274 – Life and Death (3)

Red Vega, who was hit in the air by Hercules’ fist, was attacked once again. Hercules pulled out the mast and swung it like a baton.

Wow! Red Vega was hit squarely by the sail and flew overboard. Sigh! He broke the sail, which could not withstand his strength.

“Ouch!”

Intense pain came over me. From the turmoil in her mind, fear flowed through her whole body, just as her blood flowed from her wounds.

‘Why is Hercules here?’

Even that Sky Polaris couldn’t be defeated in just one fight. A difficult enemy that could only be defeated after several fights.

The horrors of the era that caused the greatest number of casualties to human society, including the galactic beasts.

Why is the symbol of an old monster who has already died here again?

‘I haven’t even gotten stronger yet…’

Red Vega wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

“How could that…!”

Hercules, one of the most infamous monsters of the past, has returned. The person who was most surprised by that fact was Helios, who had personally seen and experienced the enemy’s time when he was alive.

I shivered even more because I knew how scared he was. Helios’ expressionless expression collapsed for a moment.

‘No, calm down. ‘You already knew that dead monsters can come back to life.’

Does this mean that Hercules was also one of those who boarded the Argo during his lifetime? That kind of information wasn’t important.

‘Did Silver Luna get hit…? Damn, you’re stronger than before. Is that also an effect of Argos’ ability?’

What is important right now is that he is their enemy, and that he has even become stronger than when he was alive.

‘We are at an overwhelming disadvantage, both in terms of number of people and the power of each individual.’

The fight itself does not work.

This was not a conclusion that came about because she was particularly weak. Her judgment was extremely common sense and cool-headed.

Rather, I was able to come to a conclusion quickly because I had the mental strength to admit my weaknesses. Life comes first over things like pride or authority.

The role of magical girls goes beyond defeating monsters to protect life. That life also included my lovely juniors.

The operation must be stopped.

“As long as something like that appears, the operation must be stopped! Odette! “Move us now…”

“We can’t leave it like that.”

Hercules jumped high. He quickly reached Odette in the sky.

“As I said before, you guys need to stay here. “As long as possible.”

Of course, Odette had no intention of just watching that. She immediately activated her butterflies and tried to move somewhere else.

But the moment I was about to act like that, his large fist filled my field of vision. By the time he came to his senses, the huge fist had already shattered his ribs.

Speed ​​and power beyond recognition.

“Wow!”

Odette fell down, breathing heavily. He couldn’t even breathe. The pain spread throughout his body, making it difficult to think. He needs to move the butterfly, but his body doesn’t follow his will.

Red Vega was shocked again when he saw that.

‘You beat someone with teleportation ability with speed…?’

It was a completely natural thing for Hercules.

Sky Polaris has the ability to observe parallel worlds, which is infinitely close to predicting the future. A convenient power that allows you to predict everything your opponent will do.

Just as few people get questions wrong on a test they already know, she was able to avoid or block most of the attacks she already knew about.

But even she was not safe from the fight against Hercules.

It is not because Hercules has a special ability to avoid precognition.

The reason is very simple.

This is because it was fast enough that he could not avoid it even if he foresaw it, and it was powerful enough that he could not defend it even if he knew it in advance.

Hercules was simply fast and strong.

A very simple, extremely simple logic of power.

The monster in the constellation Hercules was someone who mastered that logic.

From noble mtl dot net

Q. How to defeat someone with the ability to predict the future?

A, just hit it quickly and hard so that you can’t block it.

A great sage who can give a simple answer to any question.

If your body is good, your head won’t suffer.

If you don’t find the key to the door, you smash the door itself. If you don’t know the safe’s password, you tear open the safe itself and take the items inside. If you don’t know how to disarm the time bomb, you just hug the bomb with your body to make it explode.

Any complex problem before him has a complexity lower than that of simple arithmetic.

In that sense, Hercules was no different from a wise man.

The greatest intellectual on earth who can solve all problems.

His wise touch worked today as well.

Odette fell like a bird with broken wings and crashed into the ship. There wasn’t even a sound like a wasted breath, as if he couldn’t even breathe due to the pain.

“Ugh… cough.”

Odette fell and tried to get up. He put his hands on the floor, but soon lost his strength and fell down again. It was as if he was swimming on land.

Sigh! An arrow hit her shoulder.

My already dizzy consciousness became even more blurred. My body feels sluggish and my head feels dizzy.

Odette found out its identity in a short time.

“…poison.”

I turned my head and saw the orange Altair standing atop the ship’s mast.

It seems that after disappearing for almost a month, there was no harvest. Not only did archery become more proficient, but the abilities of arrows also became more diverse.

It would have been great to show the results of the improvement to the enemy rather than to the allies.

“That b*stard….”

There was a heavy sound of splitting the air above my head, which I couldn’t even lift. Hercules, who jumped up, is coming down.

“I propose this to you with the authority of a delegated captain.”

A solemn voice came down from the sky to the ground. Only that voice was conveyed clearly in Jo Ayun’s blurred senses.

“Be our comrades.”

His balance wavered as he landed. Like a seesaw, the boat tilted in the direction of his landing.

At the same time, the ship thrown by Hercules. It twitched and swayed, and gradually its stomach rose. The tip of the ship tilted and the back part floated into the sky.

“On the topic of ghosts from the past…!!”

At the end was Silver Luna. She had grabbed her belly and lifted it up like Hercules had done. A soft moonlight shimmered throughout the ship, as happens when starlight is captured in a weapon.

“It’s an exorcism!!”

The ghost ship flew away as a cannonball for physical exorcism.

Hercules glanced briefly and waved his arms wordlessly.

bang-!!! With just that gesture, the boat shattered into small pieces of wood. The wind pressure did not stop even after the ship was destroyed and continued to spread far.

“A drama…!”

Silver Luna, who was in that straight line, fell backwards as if hit by a huge battering ram.

The moment he tried to lower his arm again, a chain of fire wrapped around Hercules’ whole body. The fire flowed through Hercules’ body and burned his entire body. The more his body burned and regenerated, the more intense the fire became.

Looking around, I saw that several other sailors were also burning with a similar type of fire.

It was a magic that bound movement in a different form than freezing. The pain of the fire was so difficult for even monsters to endure that some sailors rolled around in pain.

Hercules looked back at the person who had used the spell.

“It looks like he’s still alive.”

“My strength is that my name is tough.”

Helios. She was the key to breaking the regenerative abilities of the crew on this team.

The role of the other team members was to protect her, while also creating gaps and tiring out the crew so that they could use flame chain magic effectively.

However, such advance plans were foiled by just one presence.

“No, you have a long name and many talents.”

“Thank you so much for the compliment….”

When Hercules applied strength, the chains broke.

“this.”

Wow-!! A quick roundhouse kick hit Helios. Her body floated into the sky like a ball kicked up high.

“I am the only monster who broke the ice. “You can’t stop me with a flame like this.”

A calm, emotionless voice. The tone of voice was devoid of any regret or hatred toward Helios. Slurp. Helios fell behind him.

“I won’t kill you. “But I’m not good at controlling my strength, so I can’t give a definite answer.”

It was just as Hercules said.

The world around him was a mess as he used violence without hesitation. Regardless of friend or foe, they were caught in the aftermath and rolling on the ground.

Odette stood up unsteadily. She didn’t feel any of her vitality.

“…Sister Deneb?”

“It’s natural. The more painful reality is, the more gaps there are in the heart. There are more opportunities to be impressed by our will. she chose May you agree with us.”

Hercules’ inorganic eyes turned to Red Vega. He seemed to have no intention of showing off the overwhelming power he had achieved.

Because it was natural to him.

There are sometimes special beings in the world.

In human terms, they are like magical girls.

But even among those special beings, there are even more special beings.

Special beings who are given modifiers such as a genius among geniuses, a star that shines brighter among stars, and a jewel that is more beautiful than gems.

They often bring down someone who was special in an instant. It makes you feel like you are no different from a rock.

Red Vega felt as he looked at his fallen comrades around him, those who had fallen to the enemy, and the enemies who had not yet fallen.

“ah….”

It’s miserable.

**

The blade grazed right next to Yun Seol-hwa’s neck. It was an invisible blade. It was a slash that left no trace or sound.

Before I knew it, the transparent blade came closer and slashed me several times.

Quine.

It was the miracle of invisibility, one of Perseus’ abilities.

The transparent helmet hid him from the world and created a perfect surprise attack.

“Damn it…!”

It was a very unpleasant ability for her, who had become more sensitive recently.

He continued to quietly approach, cut, and run away for several tens of minutes. Yun Seol-hwa’s expression became increasingly dark as she felt like she was being played.

The eyebrows and lips curved sharply. Nevertheless, she was still relaxed. Because so far Perseus has not been able to inflict a single wound on her.

If it had been an ordinary opponent, his head would have been cut off without even noticing, but the Hound had a dark spot. The singularity, similar to a cosmic black hole, shatters everything around it and sucks it into darkness.

The only people who can resist this attraction are those who can defeat light.

Perseus was repeatedly sucked into the black hole that spread around the Hound, torn apart, and then regenerated.

Even the slash that was fired by digging through the gap was distorted by the force and bent in a completely wrong direction.

Parallel lines were drawn like that for quite a long time.

Seolhwa Yoon cannot find Perseus, and even if she does, all attacks are nullified. Perseus also cannot inflict a single wound on Yun Seol-hwa due to the overwhelming difference in his power.

“Are you aiming to deplete mana? Sorry, that doesn’t work! “I can last like this for more than a few days.”

The moment the black spot is removed even a little, a slash comes. However, Hound showed no signs of fatigue even though he maintained the manpower of the sunspot for a long time.

The overwhelming amount of starlight that transcended the galaxy made this possible.

“Haha, that’s not it.”

Whoosh! The Hound swung his rapier towards the place where the sound was heard. The entire sea around him froze and was drawn into darkness.

As if erasing the world with an eraser, only the area around her slash was black and nothing was visible.

At that moment, a meteor shower fell from the sky.

The meteor shower fell directly towards the Hound. Upon closer observation, I realized that it was no ordinary meteor shower, but each weapon contained the majesty of a god.

Kibisis.

A special pocket that can hold everything indefinitely. The weapons in the pocket were scattered.

The Hound simply snapped his finger. The angle of the black spot on its back was slightly upward. Most of the meteor showers that were about to cover the sky fell into the darkness. Not a single drop of water splashed in the sea.

“You have a lot of talent.”

“Well, I got everything.”

At that moment, Perseus appeared before the Hound’s eyes. He smiled brightly and raised his arms. There was a shield on its arm. The shield had a unique emblem of a snake-headed woman.

As she looked at it, Yun Seol-hwa’s movements became stiff. It’s not a long time. Just a moment, just a moment.

However, with just that time, Perseus can swing the scythe. A diagonal red line appeared on his hound’s chest.

grasp! Blood spurted from the line. Countless drops of blood splashed on Perseus’ face. The corner of his mouth, covered in blood, was bent.

“Become our comrade!”

It was a suggestion, a command.

A strong hint.

A body exhausted from a long battle and intense pain. His voice penetrated the gap that was created.

He dug into the gaps in the other person’s heart and awakened their greed. Slowly eating away at her dreams. A new dream was overlaid on her dream, like adding paint to a painting.

The lifelessness in Yun Seol-hwa’s eyes and actions disappeared. Instead, what flows is hot passion and artificial greed.

“Whew… it was really long.”

Perseus sighed in relief that the job was finished.

“Okay, first thing. Free our comrades. “I’m a colleague to you now, right?”

He pointed to the frozen ships. Yun Seol-hwa nodded his head. Perseus also nodded.

“I thought about it well, for now…”

“This is the first thing.”

As he nodded, his vision flipped over and spun around. Perseus, who looked alternately at the sky and the sea, soon saw his own body with his head cut off.

“how….”

His lips moved and spoke silently. His neck was still spinning. In that rotating field of vision.

“There is no way I would have any greed other than Jaejoong. world? “What is the meaning of a world without Jaejoong?”

Above all, I saw Yun Seol-hwa’s angry face. Her face contained emotions that were blacker and duller than the sunspots she controlled.

Suddenly, Perseus felt fear.

Perseus felt strange that he was afraid of himself, who had no death or even been sealed. But the fear was true.

“How dare you try to destroy my newlywed dream…?!”

Even though there was no death, I felt death.

A strong will seemed to make even intangible things tangible.

**

Red Vega rolled on the ground miserably. After that, he received three additional attacks from Hercules.

Although he was absolutely confident in his own strength, he never truly showed off his strength. Fast and precise movements, as if hitting an insect on a wall to death.

That was enough.

Red Vega couldn’t even stand anymore.

“Are you going to keep going?”

“Ugh… Ugh… Keah…”

“i get it.”

Hercules took a breath.

I plan to make a suggestion again.

‘no…!’

You, Helios, and Silver Luna are all not normal.

In this situation, it would be difficult to resist if the hint was given again. I know somewhere in my heart.

That your mind is the weakest of them all, that it is vulnerable to being invaded by something.

Even you yourself can’t control your own mind, so the moment someone else’s strong will approaches you, you can’t help but be influenced by it.

‘Oh… really.’

Tears formed in Red Vega’s eyes.

‘I didn’t want to be this kind of magical girl…’

Hercules’ lips moved. Also, he stretched out his hands as if to raise a fallen body.

“You guys, our comrades…”

At that moment, Hercules’ outstretched arm disappeared.

A butterfly flew up his arm.

“No matter how solid it is, you just have to move it to the space itself.”

Hercules looked back as if possessed.

“Ah, this feels worse than I thought.”

“You should be our comrade. why….”

“Why am I your colleague?”

Odette, who must have caught the hint, shrugged her shoulders as if laughing at him.

“My will is not in this sea. “It’s in space.”

Butterflies flew around her.

“Would you like me to tell you too? “The greatness of the dreamer.”

Butterflies filled with the light of the galaxy gathered on her back and formed a pair of wings.

[CASSIOPEIA!]

[THE GALAXY!]

**

“Ah, as expected.”

The Watcher smiled under his helmet as if he was satisfied.

“It seems that brainwashing can be resisted on its own.”

He snaps his fingers.

“It saves me the trouble of solving it all myself.”

Amundsen’s arrow pierced Jason’s head.

“Well, comrade… why are you… why…”

“Why? “I’m not your comrade anymore.”

To Jason, the sight of the Watcher standing behind him felt like darkness.

“How does it feel to lose your companion?”

Watcher chuckled, looking at Jason in confusion.

“Thank you, I’ll use it well.”

A counterattack has begun.
