Chapter 428 - Episode Seventy-Four - Destroyer from Ancient Time Moebius (4)

The first thing I did to Moebius was to send two of the Ortems to check on him.

Moebius is just one of Count Julems weapons.

I dont think its an extraordinary monster that can challenge Kudor by itself.

It was said that Moebius was originally created by the sky god Silfheim as a human soldier to compensate for the slow recovery of magic power of high-ranking spirits.

It was supposed to be used for the purpose of expelling the sky god Silfheim and depleting Kudors fine magical power by selling the speed of magical power recovery.

In other words, the direct combat ability itself is never enough to rival Kudor.

Its not impossible to catch them.

Its been a long time since Ive seen an Ortem. I used to deal with them all the time.

While saying this, Moebius crosses her arms in a stance, and with a burst of energy, fires a hand sword to the left and right.

Nightmare Claw

A wind rushed through the halls of the old temple.

The two Ortems that had been directed at her were each slammed into the wall and caved in.

Each of them was cracked, and the remains fell to the ground.

I couldnt believe my eyes.

Shes much more powerful than Meas father, Melzef.

Im surprised. Thats why Shame was so cautious. It felt as if I had struck the thick scales of a giant dragon, though I had used warding magic to increase the hardness.

Moebius held out her arm to me.

Before I knew it, red magic crystals were covering both of her arms.

Apparently, at the moment she struck it, she was covered a magical crystal armor on her arm.

Well, do you want to surrender? Apparently, Shame would prefer it that way, though. I like you, too, though your spirit may just be being pulled by the owner of this original body. Why dont I take good care of you as my servant? Hmm?

Moebius was clearly caught off guard.

If there is an opportunity, Id have to exploit it somehow.

Shame said that I cant fire an attack that can kill Moebius, so Im backing off and waiting to see what happens, but if things change, Im sure shell make a move.

If that happens, the conditions to overcome the situation will become even more difficult.

Shame is an unknown quantity, but its safe to assume she has the power of Count Julem himself.

I have to somehow get Mea back in one move and outsmart Moebius and Shame.

Not bad, Abel. To be able to operate six Ortems of that hardness and precision at the same time. Its beyond what a human can do.

Carry

I used my teleportation magic again.

In the middle of the magic circle appeared Babylon 8000, a large Ortem with four eyeballs and six large arms.

Wha-Whats with that weird Ortem ?

Moebius frowned.

The Babylon 8,000 is my most powerful offensive tool aside from the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl.

In terms of pure destructive power, it is no match for the Abel Ball, but that thing could kill Mea.

In that sense, Babylon 8000 is almost the only way to counter Moebius physical strength.

The Babylon 8000 has a track record of pushing against even Kudors tentacles when it was an unmodified Asura 5000.

As I waved my wand, Babylon 8000 wriggled its eerie multi-armed body and closed in on Moebius.

The four normal Ortems also followed Babylon 8000 towards Moebius.

Go! Babylon 8000!

At any rate, the only thing to do now is to prolong the game and create a board that can be overturned in a single move, in the most natural way possible.

In order to do so, I had to use Babylon 8000 to somehow suppress Moebius brute strength.

Dont you see yet that it is futile to try to break through me by force! I have not just been asleep for 10,000 years. I have been training my soul in the dense magic power of the Moon Din! There is no way that you, who have lived less than 20 years, can surpass me!

Moebius caught the two arms that Babylon 8000 had swung down from the front.

The impact shook the entire Old Temple.

Ngh W-What a weight!

It was probably meant to be played lightly.

But Moebius was barely able to hold down the two arms Babylon 8000.

The remaining four arms were swiftly brought around to Moebius back.

In general, the Ortems also surrounded Moebius from four sides.

I can make it Ill restrain him at once, taking advantage of the opening that he stopped moving.

I waved my wand and made a magic circle appear.

Transmute

In front of me, a metal sphere with a mass of three people floated up.

Its a lump of Hydeem Magimetal, a unique metal that is refined through magic from magical power, spirits, and atmospheric elements.

The plan was to use the metal to completely subdue Moebius and recover Meas body.

It cant be helped Wings of Destruction.

As Moebius seemed to be enveloped in light, the light solidified as if it had gained mass, and at the same time took on a dark hue.

A mass of black magic crystals covered Moebius body like a cocoon.

Four of Babylon 8000s arms, which were about to go around Moebius back, were also taken into the magic crystals.

Babylon 8000 was pulling on his arm, but there was no sign of him pulling out.

That magic crystal It is an incredibly dense mass of magic power.

Its going to be difficult to destroy it with simple physical strength.

An absolute defense that can be deployed on the fly is pretty bogus magic.

If there was such a thing, it would be even harder to get hold of.

In the magic crystal, Moebius mouth was slightly twisted.

I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

Dont tell me !

I waved my wand and manipulated Hydeem Magimetal, transforming it into a shield to protect my front.

Release

The cocoon that had been covering Moebius opened up on either side and took on the shape of a giant black wing.

There was a tremendous shockwave, the floor and ceiling surfaces peeled away, and a violent wind rushed through the area.

Immediately after, the wings shattered, and fragments of magic crystals littered the hall.

Large cracks appeared on the floor and walls of the hall.

When the Ortems were blown into the air by the wind and became unmaneuverable, the fragments of magic crystals shot through their bodies.

There was also a large crack in the shield of the Hydeem Magimetal.

The four normal Ortems had their arms broken, their bodies gouged and pierced, and they were so damaged that they could no longer move properly.

The Babylon 8000 also had four arms that were caught in a cocoon of magic crystals that were torn to shreds.

It could barely move, but there were several large gouges in it as if it had been gouged.

The magic crystals of Moebius shattered twin wings were dancing around the area.

The ceiling collapsed and huge debris fell on Moebius head, but when she swung her arms, it easily shattered.

Wow, you blocked that one.

Moebius said admiringly.

Carry

I used the teleportation magic again.

It will call up six new Ortems.

I dont have to worry about the stock.

Quetzalcoatl, the wooden dragon, is loaded with a large number of Ortems.
