Chapter 285 - Episode Thirty-Two - The Great God Kudor (6)
The tentacles of Kudor, which were lifted up, were aimed at Mea.
I dont know if its exactly the wand of Zolomonia that Mair holds in his hand No, I dont know which one it is, but theres no doubt that Kudor is on edge.
Even if hes aiming for the staff, I felt the pressure that could have pierced Mea.
I immediately took out the hilt of his Lapides sword and put magic power into it to create a magic circle and create a sword blade.
I quickly threw it in front of Mea.
Go!
At the same time, Kudors tentacles are lifted up and shot at Mea.
Eh? Kyaaaaaa?!
Mea falls backwards.
Kudors tentacles collide with the Lapides Sword right in front of Mea.
The tip of Kudors tentacle competes with the blade of the Lapides Sword.
Mu ? What is this magic tool? Taking my blow
A crack appears in the blade of the Lapides Sword.
The hilt shines and quickly repairs the damage. Im I will rebuild it into a thicker, stronger blade.
If we can keep repairing ourselves, we can prevent this place from happening again.
Ill slightly put some pressure in it.
With Kudors words, the tentacles swelled up like muscles and gave a strange twitch.
The entire blade is finely cracked and shattered.
The tentacle gained momentum again and shot down right next to Mea.
The blue floor of the ancient cathedral shatters easily, creating a shockwave.
Meas body is sent flying in the aftermath.
Wind, carry
I wave my wand.
The wind gently wrapped around Meas body and brought her down beside me.
She landed on her feet, but her legs seemed to be too weak from fear and she collapsed and fell on her buttocks on the spot.
The staff of Zolomonia, which had been released from her hand, fell to the floor.
Its power is not yet complete, isnt it. Dont tell me, a mere humans magic tool can lightly take me on
W-What do you think youre doing! Ill give you the Staff of Zolomonia, but you dont have to involve Mea in anything!
When I blame him, Kudors eyes look at me in pity.
If the demon is in a sealed state, I can overlook it if the person who came here asks me to, but that little girl, Ill have to destroy her.
Wha-, Huhhh?
The Great God Kudor has left Zolomonia behind and is targeting Mea ?
I dont understand the intent of the priorities at all.
What ? What ? A-Abel, whats going on?
Mea couldnt understand Kudors ancient spirit language, but she seemed to know from the atmosphere that the friendship had broken down and that she was at the center of it.
However, even if you ask, I dont know.
Ive already confirmed that Meas magic power is almost empty.
Ive taught her how to carve items, but her magic didnt grow as fast as I thought it would.
Thats why I didnt encourage Mea to become a sorceress.
For what purpose
You dont need to know.
Kudor did not answer my question, but replied coldly.
No, but it seems you wont just hand her over in silence. If youre going to hand her over to me, Im willing to overlook your disrespect for pointing a blade at me.
Kudor observed me with his huge eyes for a while, then lifted all the tentacles wriggling around his body.
I wasnt quite sure what to make of the situation, but I knew that an engagement with Kudor was inevitable.
Catching my breath, I pushed down my fear and lifted my wand.
If the true identity of Kudor is an artificial spirit weapon, then he is, in essence, like Altamir, only a subspecies of the Great Demon.
Rumors can be exaggerated, and its not uncommon for folklore to turn out to be a silly scam.
If the myth of Kudor is an extension of that, there is always an opening.
The story that 100,000 people were bound by commandments and oriented to create the material for the Kudor is unlikely to be realized.
I desperately tried to reason and muster up the courage.
Im just telling you, if you really point that wand at me. If you really think you can do something about me, Ill laugh at you But I see, you cant back down without doing something. Its the stubbornness of humans, huh. You are a sorcerer who has reached this point. You must have some confidence in yourself.
Carry
Ill use the magic of teleportation.
I conjured five magic circles, and on top of each of them, an Ortem appeared.
The World Tree Ortem, the Asura 5000, and three normal Ortems.
I continued to wave my wand.
Puppet, dance!
The Ortem lights up with magic.
I reach out, and the hilt of the Lapides Sword returns to my hand, having lost its blade.
It is a folly that even the four great gods of creation have avoided. Alright, Marren. I dare to praise you for your bravery. As long as you stand up for yourself, I will not interfere with the little girl. Let me see you resist until you are satisfied. Let that be the least you can do to convince yourself.
The six Din Eaters that were lined up behind Kudor stepped forward.
To be honest that thing is pretty irritating too.
The Din Eaters are small, but they are the equivalent of six giant dragons in a row.
I was able to get by with fifty of them, but that was largely because I was able to direct all of my moves at the Din Eaters.
Probably, the number of Din Eaters will increase while we are fighting.
If they use their long tongues to exploit an opening, it is doubtful that we will be able to keep up with them.
Its unnecessary. Besides, its tactless, stay back.
Surprisingly, Kudor ordered.
He was an artificial spirit who was even called a god.
It may have been his high self-esteem that made him say this, but it was probably because he was absolutely confident that he could handle himself on his own.
Four of the six Din Eaters backed off.
Two of them remained in place, opening and closing their eerie mouths in mockery of me.
Kudors tentacles crush the remaining two. The six Din Eaters were reduced to four.
A-, Aaaaa-, Abel-chan, y-you should probably stop that, its too reckless. I know Abel-chans magic is off the charts, but that thing you cant do anything about it. Kudor is, to put it mildly, the strongest high-ranking spirit in history. In addition, if hes been asleep for almost 10,000 years, his magic is in perfect condition.
From behind me, Peter pulls up my sleeve with his fingertips, bends over, and calls out to me.
Peter understands the ancient spirit language at some extent, so he may have missed some of the details of the exchange, but he seemed to have a general understanding of the situation.
Peter was in full puppy mode since I had protected him from Kudor earlier.
I put my hand on Peters shoulder and brought my face close to his and stared into his eyes.
Fortunately, hes not going to touch Mea until hes settled with me. Ill buy myself some time, and you can take Mea and run.
B-But, but if I do that, theyll come after me
If I fail, Ill chase you to the ends of the earth if Im still alive, and if Im dead, Ill turn into a spirit and visit you, so be prepared. I leave Mea to you
Hiiii!
Peter lets out a high-pitched scream.
I have some grudge against Peter for almost killing me in a deception.
I have no intention of shying away.
A-Abel? W-Whats going on here!?
Then lets go, Marren. Ive just woken up from a long sleep. Im going to do some light preparation exercises. Prevent it with all your might.
Kudors tentacles crawled towards me.
Peter screams and pulls away from me.
