NOVEL SIMPLE Episode 628. Those who run the battlefield (6) + meaning of former life (1)
“I'd rather be comfortable this way.”
Even if it was a little overbearing, it was better to run wild alone.
On the way, an illusion lunges to get in the way, but Shen deliberately ignores it.
As long as it's a sense of pain, I can endure it.
it's fake anyway
The possibility that the real thing is mixed in is slim.
I was convinced of the trick from a moment ago.
She is not one to venture into that illusion, even risking it.
Rumelsitasa, too, was aware of Shen's conviction, so he used other spells.
The sea rises in reverse, and the rising sea turns into red poisonous water and pours out.
“What nonsense!”
Shen spewed eccentricity with one single slash, dispelling my poison.
Then, this time, the scattered poisons coalesced and turned into a solid iron sword, pouring down.
Avoiding it, Shen constantly looked around.
The body becomes heavy after taking damage from the sword.
Before I knew it, the swords scattered around me were drawing a strange law circle.
“It varies.”
Shen clicked his tongue as he shattered the court with his fist.
They continue to cast spells, reversing the status quo and driving them.
Even so, the figure of the person who unfolds the sorcery is not visible.
“… … It's been a while.”
Not only those with strong power are good at fighting.
On the contrary, when it comes to concealing herself and constantly playing tricks, she is more vicious than anyone Shen has ever seen.
Why on earth does a reincarnated person of this level dare to be engrossed in and cooperating with Heril's thoughts?
It was a bit questionable.
A little while ago, she herself said some strange things.
does it have anything to do with it?
I don't have time to understand, and I don't want to.
Above all, there is no time for that.
This time, the fragments of the nearby enemy ships he was stepping on seemed to change shape and increase, and then they restrained him as if trying to entangle him.
“. Kuw”
Shen resisted the clinging vines.
However, it also clings tenaciously.
It must have been directed by thoroughly wasting time.
“… … Was it far?”
More than anything, I have been feeling with my body that my resistance to witchcraft is decreasing from a while ago.
After all, a body that has not fully recovered has its limits.
If I had fought in my original condition, I would have somehow overcome it... … .
… … It's no use even if I'm sorry
I've been assuming that this will happen a while ago.
Shen just waits.
May the seeds sown a little while ago bloom properly.
I had no intention of crushing it with force anyway.
Also, you're thinking about something. then!”
Rumelsitasa is also not so dull as to not notice his intentions.
Her welcome increased.
No, I wanted to increase it, but it decreased.
It flickers and disappears, then suddenly fills up and then disappears again.
A phantom spell that intentionally disrupts the opponent's perspective.
“… … I'm going to play with you in earnest.”
Aware of the strange heat flowing into his head, probably from the aftermath of the phantom magic, Shen resisted as much as he could.
Responding sloppily even a little bit, he immediately shows a gap.
In the worst case, consciousness may fly away as it is.
“I will finish it.”
An enemy voice coming from somewhere.
Shen, who now has a weak sense of direction, will want to finish the moment he collapses properly.
Rumelsitasa, who was already watching from somewhere, conjured the spell, convinced of her opportunity, the moment she saw Shen stagger backwards.
Take out the talisman and create phosphorus.
Plan the worst murder she's ever had.
I'll pour out a curse that even a reincarnated person can't handle.
And the moment Shen's posture faltered once more, she was convinced of her opportunity and completed the slaughter.
“End??????
But at that moment.
For an instant, all the sorcery she had spread around her ceased.
“. uh?”
It's not the direction she planned.
The flow was cut off for a moment by coercive means.
The cause is a very simple Haeju magic. Someone spread it far and wide.
She grasped the situation at once.
Where is the cause?
“under?”
I now notice that the source of the disturbance is on the ocean floor below.
I also found out what it was all at once.
“seed?!”
Isn't the seed planted on the seabed germinating in an instant and sprouting?
Not real seeds. It's kind of like a magic tool.
As proof of that, certain spells are engraved on the surface of the sprout.
It is a purifying sorcery that expels demons and returns reality right away.
The composition was rather crude, but still a bit cumbersome.
“When will this be… … ? ah. at that time?”
If this was pre-installed, there's no way you wouldn't know.
She remembered when these seeds were sown.
When Shen spreads power everywhere.
Was it then?
Wasn't it just to stun the people who got in the way?
But that alone didn't make sense.
If Shen prepared this move and waited for it to activate, there must be a sign that he did something.
However, that seed started independently of him.
In other words, the person who germinated that thing is different.
At that moment, a bald, middle-aged man lying face down in the corner of the boat entered her field of vision.
Unlike other humans, he has not fainted and is groaning while holding the amulet that directs the movement of that seed.
Sa Il-cheong, a doctor from the east who was in charge of Shen's first aid.
In order to meet the time, he grumbled because he had been forced to follow him halfway through.
“… … that son of a bitch. You're doing everything until the end! I mean, I'm just a legislator! Don't make me do anything weird!”
“author!”
His true identity is unknown, but Rumelsitasa is certain that he is an assistant.
I wanted to neutralize it right away.
But at that very moment.
Already convinced of her location, Shen's fist pierces her heart.
He was already convinced of the location of Rumelsitasa when her sorcery ceased for a moment.
And without hesitation, he jumped in.
“… … Unexpectedly cunning.”
“It has been like this since the beginning.”
Shen withdrew his fist and immediately measured the distance.
I don't know what to do unless I die instantly.
Prepared for a counterattack, but what she did was something else.
He did not take care of his own wounds and did other tricks.
“… … But there brother made a mistake. You should have protected the ship until the end.”
Shen immediately opened his eyes in amazement.
“???? Huh?!”
Even though the main body is fatally injured, there is still an active alter ego. As if making a final push, the clone of Rumelsitasa is approaching the warship.
They are not illusions, but alter egos with power.
The alter egos smirk and do something with their palms on their stomachs and disappear.
At that moment, the ship's mana engine stopped.
“no!”
This will reactivate the city's barrier.
Arel's plans are disrupted.
Even the engine that Shen tried to stop but stalled is incompetent.
And the moment the barrier is about to unfold again. The light suddenly faded and disappeared again.
“how… … did it happen?”
I don't know, but it seems that things are not going the way they want.
Failed. I knew that for sure.
“… … Who turned off the device? who the hell … … This is difficult... … If so... … again… … start… … Sun… … That's a little disgusting.”
Rumelsitasa muttered annoyedly as if she noticed what had happened, then closed her eyes.
He stumbled and fell and fell into the sea.
Shen watched the corpse quietly, wondering if even that was a deception.
After confirming that it had stopped breathing, I shattered it to finish it off.
“… … I don't understand.”
As well as what happened now, the most incomprehensible thing is their way of thinking.
Until the end, he was obsessed with the plan rather than his own end.
It's just making humans into reincarnations, so why?
What is it that makes you so obsessed?
“I don’t even want to understand.”
Shen muttered in exhaustion, then sat down.
You need a moment to catch your breath.
Even a human who temporarily passed out for protection needs to be awakened, but Sailcheong is already working.
I might be able to hide for a while.
The airships that had been bombarding the enemy fleet also stopped as they were.
He must be confused because Rumelsitasa, who was giving orders, disappeared.
But I couldn't be relieved.
Pillars of unpleasant light keep pouring out.
There, his presence was still strong.
On the other hand… … The signs of the reincarnated people who would be facing him now are fading one by one.
An underground facility somewhere in the city of Caduceus around that time.
A boy is staring with his hand at the barrier maintenance device installed there.
A boy named Tennil.
The barrier maintenance device no longer works because the boy has completely broken it.
“Did you just stop?”
However, the boy's impression was different from usual, his eyes were blurry as if possessed by something, and a voice that did not belong to him flowed from the boy's mouth.
“It was dangerous. It was close.”
It was almost accidental that I was able to interfere.
Thanks to the enormous energy scattered around, the personality that was disappearing managed to gain strength and gained the strength to move the boy's body.
That's right, it's nothing more than stopping a device like this.
“I'll leave it to you.”
The nameless reincarnated person who existed like a dying ember in the boy's unconscious murmured and turned around.
Meaning of reincarnation (1)
“… … Do something foolish.”
A part of the city that has been completely devastated.
Looking around, Harial clicked her tongue.
Although it was the aftermath of the battle, more than half of it was no different from the horrors he had created.
Reincarnated people who were hostile to him are scattered here and there.
Contrary to the ridiculed attitude of a moment ago, he is now rolling around without being able to squeeze the slightest bit of force out.
I don't even feel it's worth finishing.
Did you say Rerensen?
The trick she played took quite some time, but that's it.
Herial turned his back on the scattered reincarnated people.
Then, I felt a sharp presence from behind, and an unusual blow hit my back.
Shen, who flew across the sea, attacked without hesitation.
Harial sighed lightly blocking his fist.
“… … is it you again Tough.”
“I'm tired of learning from the teacher. They say giving up is not very good.”
“I will not deny it. I had times like that too... … One is useless.”
It is also a different law depending on the time and situation.
Harial lightly dodged Shen's punch and struck him in the chest.
At once, Shen's body was blown dozens of meters and crashed.
If it were his original skills, he would have struggled, but now his physical condition is in a mess.
It's pretty exhausting there.
‘The reason Lee Ja is here is that Rumelsitasa... … What happened?'
It was only once that he pondered the fact of his subordinate's defeat.
I forgot right after that.
There is no point in mourning the reincarnated person.
It's just a matter of achieving the goal anyway.
Stop calling again.
“… … What the hell are you thinking, Arele Ernesia.”
To waste time on things like this.
I know he's up to something, and I've let it go halfway on purpose.
will be able to check soon
Harial returned to the castle undisturbed by anyone.
There were already signs of Allel's intrusion.
