Chapter 321 - Episode Twenty-One - The Immortal Monk Rathboutt (2)(Side: Rathboutt)

Youre making it a big deal when youre going to give it your all. Witch Altamir, it is true that you are far superior to me in the sophistication and skill of your magic. But what does that matter? War is not a contest of beauty.

Rathboutt turns to face Altamir and says in a taunting manner.

The expression on his face is still the same, and no color of emotion can be seen on his face.

You are a sorceress who specializes in research, whereas I am a sorcerer who specializes in combat, almost like an assassin. You may be a better alchemist than me, but when it comes to fighting, Im the better choice

Rathboutt put his hands on his head and continued to speak with a sense of pride.

The eyes on his face glared at Altamir, and he kicked the floor to get closer to her.

If youre going seriously, then Ill be serious as well.

Rathboutt was one of the most skilled fighters in the Riveras Kingdom, not only in sorcery but also in martial arts.

He has fused martial arts and sorcery and sublimated them into his own unique fighting techniques.

When fighting within his own range, he is able to launch a series of attacks that do not allow for counterattacks with his speed-focused magic and high-speed fighting techniques that are produced by his physical strength that has been trained through the forbidden arts.

It looks like youre a bit sturdy when you can take my magic bullets without a hitch. Alright, Ill test you out.

Altamir waved her hand.

Twelve swords appear from the air, surrounding Altamir.

Its an instant magic metal, Hydeem Magimetal, made from air components, spirits, and magic power.

This magic metal maintains its properties as a metal by converting the magic power given by the sorcerer into molecular bonding power and forcibly continuing to rewrite the state of matter.

This is why this magic metal has the characteristic of dispersing when the magic power is used up, but it doesnt matter if the weapons are originally intended to be used up during battle.

The twelve swords went straight for Rathboutt.

Rathboutt swung his cursed monkey staff and flicked it brilliantly, knocking it to the ground.

What is the matter? This kind of attack wont hurt or itch

The sword, which had been flicked off by the cursed monkey staff used by Rathboutt, floated once again by itself and attacked Rathboutt.

Tsk! How persistent!

Rathboutt is annoyed by the sword that keeps coming back no matter how many he hits it.

Altamir raises her hand again, without hesitation.

Twelve more swords appear to cover Altamirs surroundings.

Wha- !

Ill tell you what, but Im not nice, okay.

Altamir lowered her arm.

The twelve new swords were unleashed at Rathboutt.

You witch using such a nasty sorcery.

Rathboutt kicked the ground and bent his body wide to avoid the swords.

But before he knew it, the swords that had slipped into Rathboutts blind spot pierced his body from back to stomach.

Mm ?

Fresh blood drips from Rathboutts expressionless mouth.

The sword dances in the air, one after the other, aiming at Rathboutt, who has been knocked down by the blow.

Another two swords pierce Rathboutts body.

There was a pool of blood at his feet.

Before another sword could be thrust into him, Rathboutt chanted a spell.

Carry

Rathboutts huge body disappears and appears at a slight distance.

Ten swords were thrust into the position where Rathboutt had been standing a moment ago.

In addition to requiring a huge amount of magical power and high concentration, teleportation magic also exposes a large gap.

For this reason, it is usually not used in one-on-one battles.

However, Rathboutt was able to use even teleportation magic in battle, if limited to very close range.

I see, so its that kind of magic. I didnt think that each one of them has a tracker. Im sure youre very good at this kind of thing. If it wasnt for me, theyd be dead.

Rathboutt forcibly pulled out the three swords that were stuck in his body and threw them to the floor.

The blood flowed incessantly, but Rathboutt himself showed no signs of being concerned about it.

(I guess hes more than just tough.)

Altamir rolls her tongue at the sight of Rathboutt.

Rathboutt glanced at the time indicated by the clock on the wall and clicked his tongue.

It was a battle that had little to do with the original order.

If I take the time to do this, I will not be able to retrieve the Red Stone, the legacy of the Sky God, as instructed by the Water God.

You were my favorite, and I thought you might be worth destroying, but any more than this is nonsense. It took too long. Ive taken too long. Ive lost sight of my goal. Witch, I will deal with you in due course.

As soon as he said that, Rathboutt left the room and fled from Altamir.

Hey! Wait!

The swords of Hydeem Magimetal are unleashed after Rathboutt, but he evades them all.

(I checked most of the rooms while I was invisible and there are only a few I can think of, but I hope It didnt run away during this commotion.)

Rathboutt kicked in the door of one of the rooms.

Mea, the blue-haired Doom girl at the back of the room, looked back at him.

Oh, so you didnt run away, even though you could have heard the noise?

When Mea saw the strange appearance of Rathboutt, her body trembled with fear, but she shook her head, glared at Rathboutt, and took up her bow.

Stay away! If you come any closer, Ill shoot you!

Well, little girl, you can try and see if you can really kill me with that thing. A bow and arrow are like a breeze to me.

Carry

Altamirs voice echoed from the passageway.

The next moment, a triangular pyramid larger than a man appeared, destroying the wall and emitting a monstrous blue glow.

Then a similarly sized cube of the same color pierced the ceiling and fell right in front of Rathboutt.

The triangular pyramid and the cube were inscribed with a number of magical formulas.

It was a three-dimensional object made of pure, phantom copper Orechalcos, a special product of Altamir.

Whats this ?

Baron Lark! Im sorry, but I think Im going to have to shut this place down!

Altamir shouted.

As if in response to the voice, you can hear the residents of Larks mansion, who were hiding somewhere outside the room, rushing to get out.
