Chapter 462
Episode 462 But you will be blessed (1)
[This is my first time meeting you like this.]
I was unable to attack the retreating wolf. It was one thing to keep an eye on me until the end and take a step back, but the person beyond that was also one of the reasons.
[I am very sorry that things happened this way.]
In fact, its appearance was very similar to someone I knew.
They resemble twins in terms of hair that is as bright as blue curacao, jewel eyes that sparkle like minerals, and facial features that are clear and beautiful as if they were created by a craftsman.
“…regret?”
But even within that unity, there were some differences. From small things like the presence or absence of horns or the way they dress, to big things like their inner essence.
“Are you sorry?”
[If you hadn’t been excessively greedy due to your arrogant confidence, things wouldn’t have gone this wrong. Isn’t that true?]
Anyway, there was a relaxedness about it that Kyemyung didn’t have. There is a sense of leisure that is slightly different from simply thinking ‘because it is the original version’. A confidence that is closer to being born with it.
“…It wasn’t me who was talking.”
[You had to do your duty to live up to your name. That’s why you ended up like that.]
Still, what else is better than dying? I squeezed Ratel’s handle, pushing away the pressure of the magic energy swirling in the hall. I chose it because if I used a regular weapon and got destroyed, I would be the only one in trouble.
[…The baby bat is talking a lot. [He is a coward who has no intention of going outside his castle.]
Meanwhile, Mephistopheles, who had been trapped in his mental state, spoke privately. At the base of it all, as always, is anger boiling like lava. It was anger that only Faust and I could perceive and could not even reach the other person.
“Gretchen… next to me…”
‘I know.’
After all, I saw the wolf who had retreated to a seat a few steps below the throne and the being who had been there from the beginning. It was a young man with his eyes covered with a cloth and holding a wooden cane on the ground.
‘Just by looking at it, I think that’s Abel.’
It was clearly a healer and buffer through human sacrifice. And the wolf… Considering its size, appearance, and the fact that it is in an important position, it seems highly likely that it is Adam.
‘According to the commandments, Adam was clearly a tank that used ice-type attacks…’
The problem is the combination. It is said that Oman, who is already the last boss, is a master of magic – that is, he is a long-distance dealer – and he is also a healer and has a buffer and tank? Even party members are not allowed to accompany you?
‘…If you’re going to add time attack, make sure to do a proper balance patch!!’
Was this a terrible balance patch? You’re playing a really shitty game, that’s at the level! Ah-oh!
[Any more excuses would be meaningless.]
Even they didn’t wait for me any longer than necessary.
thud.
The moment the scepter in Oman’s hand touched the floor, the tiles on the floor were pushed forward. The direction the tiles face is right inside the hall.
“This—!”
Of course, as I was standing on the tile, I was also dragged into the hall along the tile. In the process, I couldn’t even attempt any resistance.
If it had directly interfered with me, it would have been easier to notice, but that wasn’t the case, so it was too late to notice.
bang!
In the end, the main door of the hall closed without any time to respond. Sigh. The new text flowing over the closed door is probably something close to a seal.
[Please do not disappoint me.]
Adam, who had received his master’s command, charged at me, changing his walking form from bipedal to quadrupedal.

Sapphire calmly drew her sword, looking at the changed scenery. It was a preparation to easily counterattack even if an attack came at any moment.
“Insert your sword. “It is a useless act.”
“…I decide whether it is useless or not.”
However, the traitor quietly frowned at his actions. “Do whatever you want.” Her eyes are rolling leisurely down the quiet hallway of the castle.
“Where has everyone gone?”
“Dispersion through the distortion of space should have already been discussed.”
The woman looked around the space for a minute and then walked away. fluttering. The cloak he had been wearing until the end to relieve the cold swayed with his movements.
“I’m sure you would have dismissed that as a low possibility, right?”
Sapphire seemed really annoyed, so she spit out the words. In the meantime, the treacherous situation increased even more as the steps had to follow the traitor.
“under. Do I even have to explain that unlikely and unlikely are completely different things?”
“…At least we could have prepared for this!”
“prepare?”
The traitor mockingly selected one of his words and actions and recited them. The voice was so sharp and sharp that the rhythm of the words felt like a knife. It was a sarcastic blade.
“If I were you, I would rather keep my mouth shut than boast about my ignorance of magic.”
“…you guy.”
“If you don’t even have the brains to understand the situation, leave this place right now. “Don’t bother me unnecessarily.”
However, the most infuriating thing is that there is nothing to refute every word the traitor utters. The hand holding the sword hilt trembled, and then he finally returned the sword to its scabbard.
“Explain. “Where are you going?”
“Ha…”
“You owe me an explanation. “At least to prevent me from becoming more of a hindrance than this.”
Even if he doesn’t attack the traitor, he can’t take appropriate action unless he knows the final destination of where he is headed. Sapphire made it clear, forcing the traitor to speak up.
“…either an adventurer or a warrior. One of them will remain where we entered. This path is a journey to join one of them.”
“How can we be sure that one person will remain there?”
“What are you doing with that thing on your neck… no, it’s not okay. “Your incompetence doesn’t just happen for a day or two.”
But this guy is real.
“Adventurers and warriors are powerful beings. And forcibly moving the location of a powerful being is a very difficult task.”
Sapphire listened to his words even though her body was trembling. Otherwise, it felt like my hand would give out, so there was nothing I could do.
“Therefore, it is highly likely that Oman chose only one and moved it to the front rather than moving both of them.”
“why?”
“…Because it is more efficient to defeat two powerful enemies individually rather than dealing with them at the same time.”
“Then why did we fall here?”
“That is so that a quick joining will not occur as I lead the remaining one.”
Fortunately, Sapphire’s hand did not jump out of control while listening to the general story. In fact, the more I listened to it, the more serious it became, and the anger that had been simmering at the situation had subsided.
“…Lord Zrya and Adventurer Crusher.”
“We’ll probably be together. It’s not that we don’t want to tear them apart, but… since a lot of power would have been consumed in the process of interfering with the location of the adventurer or warrior, it was inevitable that we would put the relatively weak together.”
Meanwhile, the traitor’s hand touched the stone statue in the hallway. Then, the space in front trembled and turned into a wall, and a new path opened where the wall was. I could see the sky and the garden in the distance.
“It looks like this location wasn’t adjusted properly.”
“Is that place… by any chance?”
“Hurry up your steps. “I wouldn’t have stayed still just because I was left there.”
“Then you have to run—”
“But don’t be rude by running in the hallway. “I wish I had told you about this.”
“….”
Oman didn’t like the noise in his castle—or, to be exact, the hallway—so he set off a trap by running around.
Sapphire’s expression turned bright red as she was reminded again that the traitor did not just move based on breaking news. The reason was the shame of forgetting the rules I had learned in practice and the irritation of having been pointed out by a traitor.
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“It should be like that. “Unless you want to be branded as the person who ruined this great cause.”
Still, this traitor is really annoying. Sapphire walked towards the garden with a tearful heart.
* * *
I was the first to dodge Adam’s charge. Let’s sleep! The direction was also taken into consideration because thin ice formed where Adam stepped and then broke apart, scattering shards.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
At the same time, I tried to swing the ratel I had drawn out beforehand. I widened the distance just in case, but that was a problem that could be solved by increasing the length of Ratel’s blade, so I didn’t have to worry.
[Take a picture.]
But the moment I stepped on the transparent bottom like a lake and was about to swing the knife, lightning struck my head. It was so fast that there was no time to avoid it.
Qarring!
Clang!
Fortunately, before I was struck by lightning, one of the jewels in my arms shattered and created a shield. More precisely, it is closer to creating a shield, then overloading the damage, causing the shield to shatter, and the jewels to be split in the aftermath. anyway.
Clang!
“It’s a plague…!”
More than that, is this kid a disaster from the start?
I smiled wryly as I counted the number of gems used to transfer damage.
It’s a consumable, but I heard it’s not made for one-time use, so it looks like it’ll have to be a one-time use against Arrogance’s attack.
In addition, the number of jewels I have, including the ones that are currently shattered, is fifteen. In other words, I now have fourteen lives left to spare.
[Aoooo!]
In the meantime, Adam overcame his inertia and flexibly turned his body to run towards me again. The front paws are raised momentarily and the claws are erected, which is clearly a preparatory motion for scratching me.
Suddenly!
But do you really think I would refuse this?
Now that I know that Oman can strike down a lightning strike at the speed of a second, I have a reason to keep a close distance from Adam. My body sank inside of Adam and my hands tightened their grip on Ratel.
Sigh!
I transformed the shape of the ratel into a sea urchin-like shape with enormous thorns pointing forward. Kwasik! In response, Adam’s arm, which was trying to scratch me, was pierced and his upper body was also stained with blood.
[I got caught!]
No. It was not blood that darkened the upper body.
Sigh!
In an instant, Adam’s body, which changed from smoke to water and flowed between thorns, came together right in front of my face. Ugh. The wolf’s gaping maw is full of drooping saliva and sharp teeth.
“…!”
There is no corner here that I can fall into or avoid. So the answer is to attack head on.
A bomb containing compressed holy water was held in one hand, and the Ratel in my other hand was quickly stored in the inventory.
Whick!
Immediately after, I threw the holy water bomb in front of me and resummoned Ratel, who I had put in my inventory. Of course, the resummoned Ratel is not in the shape of a sword, but in the form of a bottle blocking my path.
Quang! The sound of the explosion came from beyond the wall along with the howl of a wolf.
Sigh!
However, just because I hit Adam, I couldn’t immediately gain the upper hand. The chain rising from the transparent floor first bound my ankles and then began to grab my waist as if climbing up.
Quaaaang!
What followed was a series of lightning strikes.
I quickly used the ratel as an umbrella, but I couldn’t avoid the first ride. One of the jewels was shattered again. For some reason, Ratel has come to surround me like a cocoon.
Bang bang bang. The time I spent in the cocoon was only enough to take one breath, but even in that short period of time, Ratel vibrated so intensely that it even cracked. It was truly an ordinary blow of unethical power.
In the end, I gathered up my cocoon and ran forward without being able to properly gather myself. The chain that bound my body broke easier than I thought after overcoming some resistance and discomfort.
“…!”
[Hehe.]
Just like that. The moment I jumped out of the cocoon, what was waiting for me was not just sudden obesity. Surrounding me, arrows of light so dense that it looked like a sphere rushed fiercely towards me.
“Fuck you.”
If you’re going to give me something like this, at least give me rolling (0.4 seconds of invincibility)! If you release a wizard boss and don’t give invincibility to melee players, how are you supposed to wake up?!
As soon as that thought came to mind, I shook it off and just moved forward. My jet-black magical power shot forward as if overflowing, shredding the arrows of light as they were.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!
“…!!”
But then the shitty field held me back. The ground of the hall, which I thought was a simple floor—it just rippled every time I stepped on it and was so transparent that it looked like water—no longer supported me. As if it had become real water.
‘Ah-oh! Another fucking field!’
I also thought Oman had set up a pretty background to show off, but was this really real? Is that it?
The moment my running leg sank up to my ankle, I quickly burst out with magical energy. This was to perform the trick he had learned from Gye-myeong, which was to step on the magical power and run.
“I knew I would be like this and learned monthly reports! Shit!”
widely!
The moment I stepped on the step created by spewing out magical energy, my body, which had fallen helplessly into the water, rose again. The underwater chains that tried to hold me back bounced on the surface like dolphins, but then fell into the water again, losing sight of me.
Kwareung Kwareung Kwareung.
But chains weren’t the only thing I had to consider. This is why, even at this moment, Oman’s lightning attack did not stop and continued.
The golden flash that touched the floor spread in all directions along the surface – or the water – and then died out at a certain distance.
[Aooooh!]
Then the wolf, whose entire body was scorched by the holy water bomb I threw, rejoined us. The barrage of lightning stopped for a moment, as if lightning could be a team kill, but that was all.
Sigh!
[I will chew and eat it without leaving a single piece of bone behind…!] A
group of chains moving actively as if alive at the bottom. Arrows of light created in place of the rain of thunder that had stopped in the sky. In front, a wolf radiating a white-blue chill.
I held Ratel, wondering if this was exactly what it felt like to be on the verge of death. It was truly a gem.
