Episode 206 Wizard Calurien (5)

Just before Isaac fell, the colors from beyond that had been condensing under his feet exploded.

bang! A violent explosion launched Isaac vertically once again.

One of the things that Isaac checked after learning that he could ‘materialize’ the colors of the beyond was whether the colors of the beyond could have properties such as solid, liquid, or gas depending on the degree to which they were condensed. .

And the moment a solid is replaced by a gas, the area increases explosively.

The area was large enough to put everything, including Calurien and the Sword of May, into the black beyond. It was like putting his body in a cannon and shooting him, so Isaac almost lost consciousness for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Isaac adjusted his trajectory, wrapping his body in the colors of the beyond. Calurien was suddenly blinded by the gliding sight of Isaac and appeared in confusion.

‘It’s a little far.’

It was in a position where the knife could not reach. Apparently, the idea of ​​shooting yourself and hitting an opponent with a cannon was absurd.

But it wasn’t much of a problem. Isaac swung his left arm and transformed it into a tentacle. The tentacle with the Ruaddin key in its mouth pierced Calurien’s heart in one go and burrowed into his chest.

And at the same time, the rings of the May Sword all glowed white. She didn’t know what sword technique she used. However, at that moment, the Calurien in front shattered and scattered.

And last.

‘Hezabel!’

Isaac turned his attention to the last remaining Kalurien on his right. As soon as he casts the spell of rebirth, Isaac and the Caluriens killed by the May Blade will be resurrected.

Without breaking Isaac’s expectations, an arrow shot up from beneath the ground with terrifying force.

It was an arrow the size of a hideous body made of human bones, muscles, and blood, filled with bright red blood. Isaac didn’t even want to guess what it was in the first place. Just by itself, the unclean arrow soars into the sky and strikes Calurien at once… … .

caught by hand

“what?”

Quad deuk! The arrow came at a speed that made it difficult to avoid, but Kalurien managed to catch it and avoid being pierced through the heart. However, the arrow contained such powerful energy that it instantly blistered and burned the hand he held.

But that was it. Hezabel’s attack seemed to fail.

However, that arrow was not the end of the attack of the immortal assassin Hesabel.

***

‘What on earth are you going to do with me?’

Heshabel was outraged by Isaac’s orders, but it is the virtue of an assassin to follow orders. Above all, there is no way Isaac would give himself an impossible command. He could do it, so he gave the order.

Heshabel had no doubt about that.

But her crossbow couldn’t even reach where Calurien was floating.

‘Is the crossbow the only weapon I have?’

no. Hesabel had another weapon entrusted to her by Isaac. A token of her faith, given by her Isaac’s trust in her. The ceremony of division was in hand. This dagger was held in the dancer’s hand and cut Elil’s chest. It was clear that the effect would be powerful not only for the angels of the Red Grail but also for the angels of Elil.

‘There is a way.’

Heshabel shook off the old dust from her mind about the doctrines she had forgotten. Among them, she recalled the unpleasant but red-fleshed prophet’s hardships and miraculous deeds. The dancer was so delighted with her feat that the Red Flesh Prophet had pulled off her skin and reassembled her flesh, bones, and blood into a new form.

And a miracle began to materialize right where she was standing.

‘you can do it… … ‘Because I have to.’

Her body melted and her bones erected.

The flesh was patched up, and the muscles were completely released into strands of fiber.

It looked like a bizarre structure made from the human body. Hesabel thought that her form would not be very beautiful, but sometimes her functional beauty overwhelms other aesthetic senses.

She twisted her joints and pulled the bowstring.

It didn’t seem easy to pull one’s body and shoot oneself, but I was able to do it more skillfully than I thought. It was similar to the sensation she felt as she handled her possessed tentacles as she served her Isaac.

bang. An arrow was fired.

Although the black color beyond obscured my vision, I could clearly see the target, Calurien, and its heart. Soon Kalurien easily caught her arrow, that is, her spine.

That was exactly what Hezabel had hoped for.

Quad deud deuk! As the Red Petition doctrine was activated, her body was rebuilt around her spine. Her muscles, blood, and bones, all released, voraciously ate everything around her and returned to their original form. Even angels were no exception. Calurien, who had held onto her spine, was forced to give up his entire right arm as Hesabel’s food, a piece of her flesh.

The first thing to be built was not the head, torso, or heart, but Hezabel’s right arm.

With no eyes and relying only on instinct, she plunged the ceremonial weapon she was holding in her right hand into Kalurien’s neck.

“Haha!”

Kalurien’s scream, which had never been heard before, erupted from the sky for the first time.

***

Without Calurien having time to do anything, the three clones fell down in an instant. As he watched Hesabel rebuild using her body’s roots as Calurien’s, Isaac marveled at the fact that she had really done it. And she realized again how much she had grown.

Of course, it may have been Kalurien’s fault for letting his guard down, thinking that he could not be defeated by mere mortals ahead of the May Sword, but this was an incredible achievement.

Isaac stretched out his tentacles throughout Kalurien’s body to feast on it. There weren’t many opportunities to feast on the angel’s body. In reality, all he could absorb was dry fallen leaves and some of the angel’s power.

But that was enough.

[You have feasted on ‘Kalurien’s Essence (EX)’.]

[The ‘Innards of the Dead God’ perk increases intake efficiency.]

[The ‘Primordial Magical Power (Temporary)’ perk has been acquired.]

[Primeval Magical Power (S): Magical power containing the power of observers who organized order in the world when order was not yet fixed. It can give life to inanimate objects or change the properties of elements. It is consumed immediately upon use.]

‘what?’

Although he had acquired an absurd ability, Isaac noticed something strange when he ingested the essence of Calurien rather than Calurien.

He realized the identity of the Calurien he had caught. This was a magical doll that Calurien had elaborately created by pouring her own essence into it.

It was not strange that Hesabel judged it to be ‘real’. The power within it was strong enough to rival an angel.

Kalurien would have expended enough pain and strength to break his heart to create this. So much so that he could be said to be another version of himself.

The most powerful illusion is the one that creates an entirely new reality.

‘Then which of the three is the real Calurien?’

Isaac quickly looked at the Sword of May and the Caluriens killed by Hesabel. But what he saw were Kaluriens that had turned into fallen leaves and had begun to scatter.

Kalurien, a ‘mage’ who was strangely a ‘chivalric thief’. Isaac figured he must be conserving his strength, so he wanted to do it as quickly as possible.

However, none of the three were the real target.

Only then did Isaac realize the true nature of his discomfort.

‘Why three?’

Kalurien came out with three clones. But there is no reason for there to be three. If it is advantageous to have several people, more can be done, and if concentration of power is important, it would have been better to have only one person. Maybe that’s just the limit, but what if there was a need for three?

Three matches the number of famous angels who could appear here.

‘What if it was intentionally hinted from the beginning that there were only three?’

In fact, it means that the fourth Calurien may be out there somewhere.

It was hinted that there were only three of them, but in fact, the fourth Calurien was preparing a secret weapon somewhere.

***

Before he realized what was happening, Isaac, who was riding on the falling leaves, began to free fall.

Isaac quickly reassembled the colors from beyond to create a wide parachute. I wanted to make something like wings so I could glide, but making them that thick and wide took a lot of power.

‘What about Hezabel?’

Hesabel also lost her support, but she rebuilt her body keeping in mind that she was in heaven.

Broad, large red wings sprouted from her back. A powerful force was felt even in its wings.

As she consumed Calurien’s essence, her strength also seemed to increase significantly.

Hesabel had a dazed expression, wondering whether it was the aftermath of reconstruction or the aftermath of predation. She abandoned Kalurien, which had turned into fallen leaves, and glided across the sky.

Isaac turned his head to ask the Sword of May what was going on. However, the Sword of May was neither embarrassed nor afraid, just calmly waiting for Calurien’s next move.

It seems like he knew that this wasn’t the person that would end with this.

Isaac then felt a sense of discomfort in everything.

Why did Calurien have to bring so many armies, and why did he use the storm called ‘The Night of the Angels’ as the background?

Neither the army nor the storm could be of much help in dealing with the Sword of May. But it could have been if it was just a trick.

“sky!”

Isaac reflexively shouted.

Instead of asking what the sword of May meant, he immediately untied his rings and raised them to the sky. Kalurien had no choice but to create a storm.

That way, you will be able to hide yourself.

And you will be able to hide the noise of what you are doing.

Kukukukukukukuku… … .

I felt the air tremble and vibrate. A wave so powerful that I wondered why I hadn’t felt it until now. The Sword of May also let out a roar as if it realized what was happening above the stormy clouds.

At the same time that the roar of May’s sword tore through the clouds, ‘it’ also appeared, tearing up the sky.

It was a huge rocky mountain.

A mountain hundreds of meters high and even larger in diameter was standing upside down and falling towards them. It had fallen from such a high height that its tip was burning bright red from the heat of friction with the air.

And on top of the falling mountain, a huge dragon was pushing the mountain with all its might.

The fight with the Caluriens was just a blindfold to prevent the mountain from falling in the first place.

Ending the angel not with magic or swordsmanship, but with simple falling energy and overwhelming mass.

This was Kalurien’s illusion.

‘finished.’

Isaac tried all sorts of things, but he couldn’t think of a way to stop the falling mountain. That is pure violence that cannot be negotiated, deceived, or scared. It’s too late to run away, and even with all my might, I can’t cut it down.

If the Sword of May is willing to die, it might be able to stop it. However, I could not think of any reason why the Sword of May would risk its life to protect itself or Hesabel. To her, Isaac and his group are merely useful tools. She subsequently had to preserve her stamina if she was to face Calurien.

But the sword of May did not escape.

Rather, she flew higher and approached the falling mountain faster. Her three rings began spinning faster.

[Holy Grail Knight, prepare for shock.]

Zeng. The three rings of the May Sword stretched out at three angles at the same time, elongating. It looked like three giant swords. And soon, the greatest season possessed by the Sword of May, which can only be possessed by angels and those who can embrace the flame of the sun, was activated.

A tremendous flash of light first struck Isaac’s eyes. Isaac couldn’t even see what was happening. As soon as he drank too much, a shock wave shook his entire body. The child, who was gliding clinging to his colors, flew away like a piece of paper and fluttered around.

Isaac fell towards the ground and suddenly stopped. Heshabel, who was gliding, caught his body. But she still couldn’t get over the shock of the storm, and she simply fell in her stable position.

bang! Isaac and Hesabel rolled and rolled across the field, but nothing was blown away or broken. My whole body was screaming, but it was a miracle that I survived.

As soon as Isaac stopped rolling, he looked up at the sky. And I was shocked.

‘Oh my god, you’re crazy to believe I could take on an angel.’

The huge mountain that was falling was cut into six pieces and was falling.

It even lost its original falling speed and slowed down, appearing to float in the air for a moment. But soon she started falling towards the ground again. Isaac had a feeling that the entire area would soon be devastated and tried to prepare for a second shock.

But suddenly I felt something strange and raised my head again.

‘The Black of May?’

There was no sight of her. Isaac discovered countless weapons shining and flowing down among the broken and scattered stone mountains, and traces of fluttering ash. It was similar to the way Elil’s family sheds leaves when they die.

“Sword of May… … .”

Isaac groaned, foreboding her doom.
