Helmut
Episode 290
“What should I do?”
Area asked. The question was also asking whether I should give up and get out of here or try.
She cannot estimate Kantra’s ability to become the ruler of each area.
Helmut looked at Kantra as if observing him.
Ruler of the northern region. This is his courtyard. Humans cannot be better than turtles at fighting on the water.
‘Even Darian would feel that it is not easy.’
So, should we turn around like this? Helmut asked himself.
An opponent from whom it will not be easy to escape.
In this situation, it would be very difficult to achieve the goal while dealing with Kantra.
But strangely enough, it didn’t seem impossible. It is an instinctive feeling.
Like a spark coming back to life, forgotten sensations bloomed vividly. A thirst for battle.
Helmut was neither afraid of nor disliked fighting. He rather enjoyed it.
It’s not because of the sprouts of darkness.
He was a prosecutor. A very powerful swordsman who wields his sword.
I didn’t want to avoid the fight that was coming.
Just then, Darian’s sword was returned to his hand. I tried swinging it before leaving, but it wasn’t enough.
‘Darian probably fought instead of avoiding it.’
The same goes for Elaga. If he had been alone, Helmut would have confronted him without hesitation.
But he had to ask a question.
“Area. “If I pull that guy out, can you go to the sacred barrier alone and activate the adamantium?”
His black eyes met purple ones. He slowly opened his mouth.
“If it’s too much… … .”
His judgment is less important than Area’s safety. But Area slowly shook her head.
“you can do it. “If it’s not too much for you.”
The purple eyes shone brightly. As if Helmut’s words had touched her pride.
Neither of them are people who only make safe choices. Those who do not shy away from challenges.
Helmut smiled slightly.
“That guy seems like a coward, unbecoming of a ruler of the area. “Then let’s give it a try.”
Helmut drew his sword. He threw his body away with just one short word.
“Look for the gap and move.”
Then it hit the floor and shot out like an arrow. Toward the violent whirlpool rising on the other side. No, towards Kantra in the middle.
‘We have to get him out of here.’
Unlike Kantra, who has swirling water around his body, Helmut is exposed to the divine power in the air. It’s a fight with a penalty.
Helmut had to lure the guy a little further away from the sacred barrier. That way, you will be able to deal with him comfortably.
To do that, I had to steal his attention in a radical way.
Quaaaaa!
As he rushed towards Kantra, the cold water generated by the demonic energy hit Helmut’s whole body.
If I hadn’t been protecting my body with vis, the impact wouldn’t have been so severe.
Because it was under the influence of the sacred barrier, it was fortunate that Kantra’s magic energy could not hit Helmut directly.
Kagang!
Helmut’s sword pierced through the whirlpool and struck Kantra’s shell directly.
The shell surface is broken off by the bis. Helmut’s Vis means that he can pierce Kantra’s magical energy.
Shock was felt throughout Kantra’s body.
[Ugh… … ! This guy… … dare… … Like humans!]
Kantra roared.
A column of water burst out from the whirlpool around it. Control by demonic energy. A large column of water hit the place where Helmut was like a grate.
There is only water around. There seemed to be nowhere to stand on, but Helmut instead stepped on Kantra’s body and jumped up.
A column of water swept over the place where he disappeared.
The vis that extended all over his body made Helmut’s body lighter.
widely!
He stood on a piece of broken ice.
The whirlpool had broken the ice into large and small pieces, so there were quite a few pieces that could be stepped on.
“Don’t hide there, come out and attack! coward.”
When he threw it as if provoking him, anger bloomed in Kantra’s eyes.
[I am… … North… … It’s Kantra! cheeky… … human… … North… … is my… … area. The intruder… … eliminate… … do!]
Kantra was somehow oblivious to Area’s existence. The vortex began to move.
Kantra moved his four legs and quickly approached where Helmut was standing. Just like a shark pounces on its prey on the water.
‘He’s a simple guy.’
Anyway, it looks like he decided to get out of the water. Perhaps because of magic, Area had disappeared.
She will see an opportunity to approach the divine barrier, while remaining out of Kantra’s sight. Lure him like this.
Since the difference in size is large, headbutting to the body should not be tolerated. It will be a difficult attack to defend against even with Visor.
Helmut dodged the attack and pulled Kantra out little by little.
The simple-minded guy was so excited that he doggedly chased away Helmut, who was running away.
Kantra, who protected himself from divine power with a whirlpool of water around his body, also rose more and more above the water as he got further away from the sacred barrier.
The vortex around Kantra’s body naturally became lighter.
Unlike Elaga, Kantra had short limbs and no sharp claws or teeth.
The jaw strength seemed to be considerable, but the neck was short and movements were slow. I don’t think it will ever bite my mouth.
But instead, he knew how to move water with magic. And very smoothly.
Helmut was busy avoiding or cutting down the water columns coming from all directions.
Considering that most monsters prefer direct attacks, Kantra was unique among monsters, a type close to a wizard.
‘Even if it’s Elaga, it won’t be easy to deal with him in this sea.’
No, Elaga wouldn’t even try to come here. Because the ice won’t support his weight.
Rather, Helmut would have a greater advantage in dealing with Kantra here.
A battle between giant turtle monsters and humans. Something hard to imagine happening in the forest of Pahe was unfolding here.
And Area, who was watching the situation, began to move when Kantra was far enough away.
‘Activate Adamantium as quickly as possible and help Helmut.’
It worked out better. Even though Kantra had moved, there were no other monsters around where he was.
Because the ruler of the area is always avoided by ordinary monsters.
The golem, which changed its appearance slightly from a sledge to a boat, glided towards the sacred barrier.
Because the waves that Kantra moved were pushed back as waves, I was able to easily get to the area near the barrier.
Just a few steps away from the sacred barrier.
‘I feel sick.’
Alea covered her mouth with her hand. The feeling of her divine power oppressing her magical power was disgusting.
As a wizard, she is that much, and if Helmut were standing here, he would have felt a tremendous repulsion.
‘I can’t stay here for long.’
Her golem was also depleting its magic power at a rapid rate. It was easy for her to get here because of the waves coming from Kantra and Helmut, but she had to hold on to avoid being pushed further.
If pushed further, the golem will collide with the sacred barrier. In that case, the golem’s core may be damaged.
‘There are no other monsters around here, right?’
Area looked around.
Once you’re in the water, performing magic becomes tricky. Because I can’t memorize spells.
Of course, she could perform magic without saying the spell.
But that’s only for magic that isn’t that powerful.
Moreover, the moment you achieve your goal and escape from the sacred barrier, you are defenseless.
The probability of a monster coming that close to the barrier is slim.
However, Area worked hard to use her magic and confirmed that there were no other monsters around.
‘Adamantium… … .’
When I took it out of my arms, the adamantium immediately glowed white.
The beam of light emitted by the adamantium was pointed directly below the surface of the water, about the height of a child.
It’s not deep, but it’s not deep enough to reach with your hand. To install it correctly, you have to go into the water and position it by hand.
‘Oh, I almost forgot.’
You can’t breathe underwater. Of course, you can rest with magic, but you cannot use magic in the sacred barrier.
She took out a long tube from her bosom and held it in her other hand.
water tube. This will allow her to breathe underwater. The bottom is designed to allow her to bite into her mouth and suck in air.
Now it was time to jump into the water. She looked down for a moment at the clear, shimmering sea water.
The sea near the barrier was clear, as if it had been a while since Kantra was emitting black magical energy. And sure enough, it will be ice cold.
I knew how to swim, but I couldn’t help but hesitate.
“shit.”
Area, squinting her eyes, jumped into the water without further ado.
with a plop!
The water was, as expected, eerily cold.
A robe with magic to regulate body temperature protected her from the cold, but the skin exposed outside the robe was cold.
As soon as you enter the barrier, your entire body will be exposed to this icy water temperature.
‘You won’t faint, right?’
Area asked about the crown. It tastes like salty sea water. There was a sacred barrier in front of me.
Naturally being pushed around by the waves, she grabbed the adamantium and immediately pushed herself into the sacred barrier.
Soon a terrible pressure weighed down on her. The pressure took her cold away from her.
Area resisted the barrier by activating the magic power of her entire body. He didn’t have the energy to use any other magic. Fortunately, because it was underwater, the pressure of the sacred barrier was less than expected.
It only took five minutes for Adamantium to start operating normally, but for Area, it felt like dozens of minutes had passed.
After confirming that the adamantium was operating properly, Area immediately escaped the barrier without even having time to check what changes had occurred.
When I lifted my head above the water, I felt dazed. I fell asleep. This is because her body temperature has dropped. Extreme cold can kill a person even in a short period of time.
Breathing heavily, Area tore open the scroll as soon as she climbed onto the golem. He didn’t even have the presence of mind to use magic. Warm warmth enveloped her entire body.
“I almost died.”
Staying in icy water without magic is certainly not something a wizard would do.
Immediately instructing the golem to move away from the barrier, Area looked towards the barrier.
‘I guess it worked out right?’
The color of the barrier seemed to have become a little more transparent. Since the divine power is felt so strongly, it is impossible to properly feel the changes in the barrier from this close.
If the adamantium operation was successful in all four directions as planned, the sacred barrier would now be weaker than ever.
‘Okay, now all that’s left is to return to the central area.’
But the moment she suddenly looked back, her eyes widened.
