Chapter 443
Sein Binoche was panicking as much as he could now.
‘Am I really immortal?’
Even though Sein tried everything he could, he was unable to inflict the damage he deserved on Hekil.
Even if his heart was crushed, his head cut, or his mana cut off, he regenerated his body as if nothing had happened.
It’s a level of regeneration that makes me wonder if it’s really immortal.
‘Sophia. Black Mage King. Don’t you know anything about him? Anything is good. Let me know if anything comes to mind.’
As he cut Hekil, who had become a chimera, he questioned the two inside him.
‘… … no.’
Sophia answered in a low, subdued voice.
‘sorry. I’m still observing… … .’
I keep observing, but I haven’t gotten a single piece of information.
‘… … No need to be sorry. It’s more strange to know.’
That man’s ability is something far beyond common sense.
Because it is a power beyond the bounds of common sense, there can be no such thing as information.
Sae-in also asked with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
‘okay… … . So, in the end, it means that we have no choice but to find out while fighting.’
After thinking like that, it was time for Sein to swing his sword again.
‘Are you not going to listen to my answer?’
The Dark Mage King spoke in a sarcastic voice.
Sein frowned and stopped the attack for now.
Then, he immediately moved on to evasion.
cooong!
I lightly dodge Hekil’s huge fist.
‘Do you know something? Since he didn’t say anything, of course I thought he didn’t know anything.’
Avoiding it, I asked the Dark Mage King.
‘I was just watching a little bit more because I wasn’t sure.’
The Dark Mage King’s eyes shone fiercely.
‘I don’t care if it’s unclear information, so I would have asked you to tell me.’
Sein once again avoided Hekil’s attack and spoke as if arguing.
Lightly avoids three consecutive punches with just three steps.
‘It goes against my personality to give out uncertain information.’
‘… … An annoying perfectionist.’
‘You’re a perfectionist. Highly praised.’
Sein clicked his tongue.
cooong!
Above it, Hekil’s fist struck again.
Sein lightly rotated his body and once again avoided Hekil’s attack.
‘It’s sarcasm, so say something. what about him… … .’
Avoiding it, I asked the Dark Mage King again.
No, I was trying to ask a question.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
It would have been if Hekil hadn’t burst in loudly.
“what. Are you tired already? I did a little bit! Was it a glass cannon?”
Hekil was mad and hit Sein repeatedly.
Two fists bigger than an elephant are swung crosswise.
Just as mass proves that power is power, power is no joke.
If he even brushes against that attack, he will become a piece of meat.
No matter how old you are, you won’t be safe.
“… … noisy.”
However, that’s all.
It’s just great power.
“I am organizing my thoughts right now. Do not interrupt.”
fist like that.
It doesn’t work for Sein.
Sein swung his sword as it was.
Slow-!
A flash of an instant.
After a while, Hekil’s body was divided into dozens and was rolling on the ground.
good!
The sound of the sword being drawn resonated clearly.
‘Continue explaining.’
He delivered the sword and spoke to the Dark Mage King again.
‘I was talking about you, not me.’
‘… … Was it?’
‘It was.’
‘I guess that’s what I heard.’
The Dark Mage King clicked his tongue.
‘Do you have problems with your memory now? It must be worse than I thought.’
Sein frowned.
‘My memory is fine. I just forgot to focus on the sword.’
‘That’s what’s bad. If it was you, you would have been able to use that level of swordsmanship while being sarcastic.’
‘… … .’
Sein was silent.
It was an irrefutable statement.
‘… … Admit it. surely. It’s not in good shape.’
There is no point in trying to come here.
Sein coolly admitted that his condition was not good.
‘It’s to the point where I can’t hear your words while swinging the sword.’
It was difficult just to handle the sword. Sein now has no energy to focus on anything else while dealing with the sword.
I can’t talk to these two when I wield the sword.
That’s why I’ve been avoiding Hekil’s attacks since before.
Because I can’t have a conversation while fighting back.
‘Was that enough? That’s really dangerous.’
The Dark Mage King’s expression became serious.
Saying that while swinging the sword right now, he had no energy to care about anything else, in other words, it was the same as saying that Sein was doing his best right now.
‘Sain Binoche. I seriously recommend a getaway. The tide has already turned.’
‘My desire to run away is like a chimney… … .’
Sein frowned and looked around.
As the Dark Mage King said, the situation is not good.
Including Shin In-hyeok, Kim Kang-in, and Charles. Everyone is struggling.
It’s just being dragged around by high-ranking black magicians who don’t know where it came from.
If the battle continues like this, it will most likely be defeated on this side.
As the King of Dark Mage said, escape is the best option now.
‘There is no way to escape. I can’t afford that.’
However, there is no way to escape.
Escape is only possible when the charter is parallel to some extent.
It is not easy to withdraw from such an overwhelming situation.
‘To escape now, I have to give at least two.’
Shin In-hyeok, Kim Kang-in, and Charles.
Two of these three should be written as discards.
This will provide a basis for escaping to some extent.
‘That’s what I’m telling you to do.’
The Dark Mage King replied as if asking for something so obvious.
‘This operation is entirely a mistake on our part. After making a mistake, I have no choice but to pay the price to some extent.’
This situation happened because our side misunderstood the power.
In order to cover this mistake, there is no choice but to make some sacrifices.
‘Don’t talk nonsense. What am I going to do by reducing the power more than this?’
Sein answered with sharp eyes.
‘Now that five unknown high-ranking black magicians have appeared. Cutting power beyond this is just self-killing.’
‘well. As long as you safely get out of here and regain your strength, I think it’s enough power to cover it.’
‘… … That’s just your opinion.’
‘hmm. You try to cover the sky with your palms. You should know. You’re dying here, that’s the worst thing to say.’
The Dark Mage King laughed.
‘Is fellowship distracting you?’
‘… … noisy.’
Sein sharpened his teeth.
‘It’s fine, so explain what you found out.’
‘If you’re in that state, I don’t think it’s meaningless to explain.’
‘I make the judgment as to whether there is meaning or not. Explain.’
‘Is it a threat?’
‘Please.’
‘Where do you think that’s a request? No matter who sees it, it’s a threat.’
‘Then it’s a threat. tell me.’
He glared at the black mage king as if the world would kill him.
The Dark Mage King smiled and started talking.
‘Heckel. That guy is not a warlock.’
‘… … Aren’t you a warlock?’
‘okay. It may have been a warlock at first, but not now.’
‘What do you mean?’
The Dark Mage King pointed at Hekil’s regenerating body.
‘That guy is a monster.’
A strange color flowed from the eyes of the Dark Mage King. He licks his lips with a very happy expression.
‘He absorbed the monster into his body. I don’t know if he performed chimera treatment or developed special black magic to accept the monster into his own body, but it is certain that he replaced the monster’s body with his own.’
‘… … Is it a real chimera? Didn’t he simply change his body into a monster by manipulating his body?’
‘okay.’
‘Are you sure?’
‘It is certainly. I was convinced when I saw him play it just now.’
I could tell because he was the Dark Mage King, who was more sincere than anyone else in researching the Chimera.
His body transformation isn’t like metamorphosis.
His body is, in name and reality, a real monster.
‘Then why does it continue to revive even after blocking mana… … .’
‘Monsters have the ability to regenerate in their bodies. Blocking mana doesn’t completely disable regeneration.’
‘A monster’s regenerative power can withstand my sword?’
No matter how great the monster’s regenerative power was, it couldn’t be at a level that could withstand the sword.
‘Of course, there are no monsters in this era that can withstand a direct hit from your sword… … .’
The Dark Mage King looked at the soft skin on Hekil’s torso.
That squishy skin seems to be the basis of its regenerative powers.
‘They are the ghosts of the Bytenor Empire in the past. It’s a different story if it absorbed monsters that only lived in that era.’
It was a skin with a shape and texture that even the Dark Mage King, who had observed all kinds of monsters, had never seen before.
What he is absorbing are not the monsters of this era.
‘I heard that in the past, there were all sorts of monstrous monsters, including Shinsoo. If he absorbed those guys, he’d probably have that kind of regenerative power.’
‘… … divine water.’
Sein remembered the divine beast, the nine-tailed fox.
Despite not fully developing yet, it possessed great power.
If he had absorbed such an existence, such a regenerative power would make sense.
‘… … understood. That’s a reasonable enough hypothesis.’
‘It’s not a hypothesis, it’s a fact.’
‘okay. It seems to be a hypothesis that is infinitely close to the truth.’
Sein gripped his sword again.
He glared at Hekil, who had finished regenerating, and positioned himself so that he could counterattack at any time.
‘so. How can I defeat him?’
‘The way to defeat him… … .’
Then, Hekil threw himself again.
He punches with exactly the same speed and exactly the same power as when he first fought.
Sain avoided the attack and frowned.
‘Don’t hesitate and tell me. Way?’
Looking at the people shouting urgently, the Dark Mage King answered calmly.
‘Unfortunately, none.’
Sein’s expression frowned.
‘If it’s a monster I know, there must have been a way. Unfortunately, I don’t have any data on the monsters that make up his body. As long as I don’t know anything, I can’t set up a countermeasure.’
‘this… … .’
Sein clenched his molars tightly.
‘If there is no way, what are you talking about?’
‘Didn’t you tell me to tell you something? I just did what you said.’
‘… … .’
Sein clenched his teeth again.
‘Bad personality… … .’
I must have said that, but I never thought I would say that there is no answer after giving a long speech like that.
In case someone isn’t the Dark Mage King, he has a very, very bad personality.
‘As expected, I hate you.’
‘hmm. is it? Too bad. I like you quite a bit.’
The Dark Mage King laughed.
Then Hekil started attacking again.
‘So I’ll say it again. run away Two can be discarded. Power shortages can be managed somehow as long as you and Shin Ha-yul are there.’
‘… … noisy. I’m organizing my thoughts, so shut up for a bit.’
It seemed that Sein’s questions and answers beyond this were useless. It was time for him to swing his sword again.
“ah. bothered. It’s finally over.”
After entrusting all the fighting to Hekil, another warlock, Sabin, who was waiting alone behind, swept his bangs and said.
“ruler. because it’s ready Everyone knows how to avoid it.”
Then, in a calm voice, he sent a message to the other black magicians.
“Ha ha! I never thought I would see this again.”
“Sabine! If you target me again, I will really kill you this time!”
“If Sabine says to use it… … . It’s not my intention, but I have to step down.”
At that, the black magicians reacted in unison.
Some were amused, some flinched, some wary.
Seeing the reaction of the warlocks, Sabine laughed very lightly.
“Everyone is overdoing it.”
thud!
Sabine kicked the ground.
thump, thump.
The sound of bones being crushed could be heard from all directions.
and.
“All I can do is die. It’s too much of a fuss.”
Sabine’s mana rode the ground and began to scatter in all directions.
