Chapter 39: Meteor, Kidnapped? (End)

“AAAH-!

Meteor Orabeoniik!

Please..!

Aaah..!!”

Everyone gathered around couldn’t move for a moment due to an eerie feeling at the sight of LeaForte screaming while clutching at the burnt metal frame.

“You still think that skeleton is me?”

“Aaahhh…”

It was a sight that could not possibly be an act.

She looked like she would cry and faint at any moment.

Wriggle..

Wriggle.

However, Lea did not cry and faint.

Something like black mucus moved from Lea’s shadow where she was lying down, and Yooseong instinctively felt that it was dangerous if she continued like that.

“Redleaf!

Cast a binding spell on LeaForte right now!”

“Ah.

I got it!”

At Yooseong’s urgent voice, Karen lined up the magic circles behind her and combined them into one.

“Mana Prison-

With a loud voice, she cast the binding magic of the upper circle, Magic Prison.

Wham!

A solid wall made of blue mana was created around the howling LeaForte.

Clang!

In an instant, each wall combined to create a cube and compressed it enough to confine only LeaForte inside, completing a literal mana prison.

The principle of the magic is to block the magic power from the outside and inside, preventing the expression of magic power or strength inside.

“You won’t be able to resist this!”

Karen confidently shouted, not having the slightest doubt about her own magic.

“Are you sure that’s okay?”

“It’s okay.

I said it’s okay!

Hmm..

maybe?”

As the inside of the blue box gradually became dyed with the black energy emitted by LeaForte, Karen’s voice also lost its confidence.

No matter how I look at it, that’s not enough.

Yooseong, who was not at ease at all, eventually opened the pouch on his chest and took out a silver iron ball from inside and held it.

Tsk tsk!

“Hey hey!

It’s breaking!?”

“Huh..

huh!?”

Seyeon shouted in bewilderment at the sight of the mana box starting to crack with vibrations, and Karen also showed a bewildered reaction and raised her staff again.

“Mana prison!

Mana prison!

Prison!

Prison!”

Tsk!

Tsk!

Tsk!

Several layers of mana boxes surrounded the box containing the blackened LeaForte, but.

Crack!

Crack!

“No way!

They’re all being destroyed!”

The sound of something bursting from inside could be heard, and even the newly created mana boxes outside began to vibrate violently and reacted ominously.

“You’re wizards too?!

Don’t just watch and do something!”

“Yes..

yeah!”

At Seyeon’s shout, the warlocks including Granil also wrapped black magic binding spells around the box, but.

Paassang!

Wiggle wiggle wiggle!

In the end, the black energy-wrapped tentacles broke through the box and stirred and destroyed the box itself, and at the same time-

Swish!

“Huh..”

“What is this dark energy?!”

In an instant, the black smoke that was a lump of black magic that had been compressed in the box burst out, instantly turning the surroundings dark.

“Above!”

“What is that!?”

Everyone in the room looked up at the sky where the mass of fog had risen with Sylvia’s shout.

Flutter flutter.

They froze as they came face to face with the sound of flapping wings from above and a pair of eyes shining clearly in the darkness.

Shuuuu-

The black fog blew away in the wind, revealing the silhouette that had been hidden.

“Hasah.”

Alluring red lips breathing out the breath of black fog and blood-red eyes that could not be seen staring at any given location.

A woman in a black nun’s habit that brought to mind the words devil or archangel descended on this spot with her black feathered wings spread.

“Lea..

Forte?”

“The devil lord..

no, it’s black magic that goes beyond that!”

As everyone shouted, the woman floating in the air was LeaForte, but it was something else that was not LeaForte.

Shuuuu…

The veil on her head disappeared and in its place were black goat horns sprouting on both sides.

The short hair that reached her neck grew to the ankles and spread out like a black cloak.

Together with the black wings of the sky on her back, it further accentuated her presence.

Thud…

Her bare feet, not wearing shoes, took a step as if there was a floor even though she was clearly floating in the air.

A black current of air formed where her feet touched, creating a path for her to walk.

Thud…

thud.

“It’s because of you guys…”

LeaForte’s lips moved as she gradually descended from the air to the ground as if she were taking stairs.

“It’s because of you guys that YooSeong-oh disappeared from me..”

LeaForte looked at everyone below with a gaze filled with only venom and hatred.

Swish.

Energy began to gather from her two hands that she slowly raised.

LeaForte, who floated a white sphere in her right hand and a black sphere in her left hand, combined the two completely conflicting energies into one.

“So just like my brother..

it’s right for you to disappear too..?”

Whoosh!

He dropped the ashen sphere he was supporting with both palms towards the ground.

“Mana, protect everyone!

Absolute Guard!”

“Darkness, cover us with your curtain!

Black Shield!”

As practitioners of magic, Karen and the black magicians read the tremendous power contained in the gray sphere and immediately unleashed their full shield magic.

Kwassaang!

Zzmun!

“Crazy!”

“Piercing!

piercing!”

As if in shouting, the moment the shield’s curtain and the gray sphere collided, a loud noise that made the ground shake occurred and the surface of the shield began to sink downwards like a rising crater.

The shield’s defensive power could not overcome the gray sphere’s destructive power and was sinking downwards!

At that moment, the two close combatants of the former warrior party who had been holding swords stepped forward.

“Howling Sword!!”

“Shining Blade!”

Each of the Sylvester family’s swordsmanship vision and the former warrior JinSeyeon’s original warrior skills unfolded, and the silver wolf shape and the crescent-shaped golden slash intersected and collided with the gray sphere energy leaking out through the shield.

Kwaaang!

“Huh!!”

“Kuuk..!”

The aftermath of the two energies colliding caused the parts of the shield that were relatively intact to shatter into small pieces, revealing the empty space covered by the shield once again.

Whoosh…

There, the same gray spheres as before…

and two of them floating on each of their hands.

LeaForte was staring down as if she had been waiting.

“No way!

T…

Twice as much!?”

“Huh…

Impossible.

Impossible.”

The defensive magic just now wasn’t a lightly deployed protective magic either.

It was deployed with the full force of KarenRedleaf, the 10th Circle Archmage, and the assistance of the warlocks’ squeezed magical power.

And the same goes for Seyeon and Sylvia.

The swordsmanship of the two people who blocked the aftermath of the leaking ashen energy was also a technique used as a finishing move rather than a restraint.

However, at the sight of Leah preparing to blow away the double without even giving them a moment to catch their breath, those under the shield went beyond fear and stopped thinking about how to respond in an instant.

Swish!

At that moment, one person kicked the ground and ran out of the open shield.

“That…

that guy, what is he going to do!”

“Gyaaaaak!

Ah…

no!

It’s dangerous!

It’s dangerous!”

Seyeon shouted as she watched the flying black suit, and Karen, who was gathering her magic power again, also stomped her feet and shouted in shock.

Crack!

At that moment, Sylvia had already jumped to follow the meteor.

Before she knew it, the meteor had used full booster and was now 10 steps ahead of LeaForte.

“Die.”

Wriggle!

Crack!

The tentacle that Leia sent flying with her poisonous eyes transformed into a feather and hit me.

Crunch!!

The shoulder part was shattered.

The suit had easily blocked the tentacles in the prison cell before, but it couldn’t block the tentacles of LeiaForte, who had completely fused the power of the Demon King and the power of a saint.

WHISTLE!!

AAAH..!!

Not only did his shoulder part break, but the tentacles that flew in one after another also restrained his limbs, making him a doll tied up with strings.

Gee…

Gee-gee-gee!

Even though he tried to release the tentacles by applying force, he couldn’t release the tentacles that were already emitting the strength of a Grandmaster-level unmanned person.

Whirl!

The next moment, a tentacle flew in to pierce his head and kill him.

Clang.

The helmet quickly opened and Yooseong’s face was revealed.

“Yooseong…

Brother?”

Leah, who thought he was dead, was more than surprised to see Yooseong alive, opened her mouth and her hatred disappeared for a moment.

Wriggle.

The tentacles that responded to Leah’s emotions became limp as the power sent by the commander disappeared.

Grasp!

Yooseong, who shook off the tentacles that didn’t use that much force and closed the distance between him and Leah to the point where he could touch them, stretched out his arm and wrapped his arm around one of Leah’s shoulders.

“Cool your head.”

“Huh..?”

Clang!

He continued to attach the sphere he was holding to Leah’s chest.

Crack!

At that moment, the sphere that was fixed to Leah as if it was being crushed in half…

Blue sparks flew from the compressed sphere in the storage space for the giant rocks.

Swish!

“Ah?”

In one breath, he swallowed LeahForte, including the wings and tentacles connected to him, and froze and compressed them in the internal space of the sphere.

Snap!

Immediately after, Yooseong quickly snatched the sphere containing LeahForte that was falling from the air and used the booster of his suit to land stably on the ground.

“_”

Even though his feet touched the ground, Yooseong couldn’t take his eyes off the sphere that was in his hand for a moment, remaining calm.

“Yooseong!”

He turned his head to look at Sylvia, who had arrived first, at her voice.

“Haa…

ha…

Are you okay?”

Yooseong thought that while he was fine, Sylvia, who was gasping for breath and turning pale, didn’t look okay.

“Meteor!

Did you catch it?!”

“Meteor!

Meteor!

Meteor!!”

Seyeon is seen running towards her friend as if she had caught a wild boar from her hobby, while Karen approaches her while blinking like a ghost from a horror movie.

“That crazy b*tch…

no, LeahForte?”

“Here.”

“Huh?”

Seyeon, Sylvia, and Karen made puzzled expressions as they looked at the sphere that Yooseong held out.

“It’s similar to subspace magic…

a space compression storage sphere.

I put it in here.”

“Is it…

dead?”

“Fortunately or unfortunately…

it’s a technique that freezes it in its current state and puts it in.

Well, I guess I guess it’s not dead.”

Seyeon waved her prosthetic arm around as if telling her to clean it up, as if she were looking at something dirty.

“Did…

you catch it, HanYooseong?!

The Demon King’s contractor…”

“Caught that monster…”

After a while, the warlock Granil and the warlocks who arrived late tried to recreate the reaction Seyeon had shown earlier.

Yooseong, who was too lazy to explain, dismissed it with a single word, “I got it,” and put the sphere containing LeahForte into his chest pouch.

He went inside the pit and found the frame of the burned metal skeleton that Leah was holding onto.

“I brought it here to help with the work, but I used it well this time.”

Swish.

Squeak!

Yooseong lowered his posture while thinking that and took out the prosthetic eye embedded in one of the metal skeleton’s eyes.

Although the prosthetic eye looked like a glass bead and would break easily, it was made with carefully selected strong materials so that it would not break because all the important functions were put into it.

“It still maintained its shape…

Thank goodness.”

He had worried that it might have broken from the beam output of the satellite drone.

The difficulty level of repair is different if the shape remains or if a part is damaged.

[Transmutation-Regeneration]

Chijijik!

He holds the prosthesis and uses the magic of regeneration to repair it.

The design he had made when he created the prosthesis fills his head, and a tremendous amount of magic power is sucked out, just like the density of its functions.

“Ugh.”

Yooseong feels dizzy due to the lack of magic power.

It was the moment when he consumed the most magic power today.

Swish.

And he was touching his empty eye area to put on the fully repaired prosthetic eye.

“…?”

Yooseong finally noticed what was covering his eye and took it off with his hand.

What is this..?

A purple rose eyepatch.

He thought that he had seen the design somewhere, and he remembered that it was a pair of purple eyes of Sylvia who had run over to him first and had a worried expression on her face earlier.

Yooseong looked at the eyepatch on his hand for a moment, then put the eyepatch in his pocket with an expression that he couldn’t understand.

***

The weather was the same as usual today.

Kururung…!!

Kwakwang!

As usual, lightning was striking and a firestorm was covering the sky.

The only place where this kind of weather would be considered normal would be Planet Gigantes.

“Kuhaha-!!

Those dusty guys were pretty strong, right?

But who am I!

The fire giant Surtr!

I burned all the guys who approached me!”

“You couldn’t even come near it until much later?

Hahaha!”

Surtr, a hot-blooded fire giant, laughs heartily at his fellow giants and tells them the story of how he wiped out the complete beasts and half-beasts of the water nation.

“You want me to tell you that story?

To be honest, it wasn’t that good.”

Tyr, a silent steel giant, explains that the places he went to were filled with small demihumans who used strange powers and unpleasant beings who manipulated black smoke and tentacles.

“Kik-!

Ah-What a shame!

If only I had just a little more time, just a little more time, I would have fully shown my new world friends how good this sticky stuff feels!

What a shame, what a shame!”

Loki, a frivolous toxic giant, talks about how he melted the kingdom of the other world into sticky water.

“I don’t know why everyone hates this?”

Of course, in Loki’s case, even the giants of the Gigantes were reluctant to do so because of the purple monopoly liquid flowing through his body, so he was talking to himself.

“Kuhaha!”

“Really?!

That’s true!”

“Ah-I want to go too!”

Anyway, the giants gathered on the largest hill of Gigantes listened to the stories of the giants who had returned from the advance party with broad smiles.

To be honest, they were worried that the beings of the other world might be more powerful than their own giants.

After listening to the stories of the giants who had returned, they concluded that there were none who were strong enough to threaten the giants, although they were somewhat threatening.

“Huh?

But why can’t I see Thor?”

“Didn’t you say you would tell me first when you returned?”

Of course, some giants were curious about the whereabouts of the lightning giant Thor, who had not been seen since the advance party returned.

Kung-

“Are you curious about Thor’s whereabouts?”

“Huh?”

At that moment, heavy footsteps were heard from the side, and the golden giant spoke.

“Chief!

Chief!”

“Chief!”

Kuuung!!

The giants who had gathered on the hill all fell to their knees at the appearance of the golden giant Odin, the chief who had summoned them.

The giants showed their loyalty in their own way.

Kuung…

Kuung…

“I lost sight of Thor!

I lost sight of my brother Thor!”

Odin climbed up to the highest rock on the hill with a booming voice.

“Thor!

Is dead!”

He shouted with a voice like thunder, making the giants who were pinned to the ground raise their heads at once.

“That can’t be!

Isn’t Thor one of the giants who is counted as one of the best fighters among us?!”

The fire giant Surtr, who was usually Thor’s rival and closest friend, raised his head and spoke.

“And Thor suffered.

By the inhabitants of the new world.”

“__”

Odin spoke to Surtr in a stern voice.

“Watching! The inhabitants of the other world are much smaller than us! Smaller than a finger!”

Odin shouted, raising one finger.

“But that small inhabitants of the other world destroyed Thor, one of the three most powerful of us! It happened in an instant. Even I didn’t know what had happened, and when I looked at the place again, all I could find was Thor’s severed arm!”

“Kekekeke… Why didn’t the chieftain help his brother? Then?”

When the poisonous giant Loki, who was jealous of Odin, who was usually popular with everyone, asked with a sneer,

“I was afraid and ran away.”

Odin’s one word that silenced the room flowed out.

Who is Odin? He is called the strongest of the three giants, but in reality, the strongest and wisest giant is without a doubt Odin! Even his bravery was the greatest among the giants, so wasn’t he the chieftain with the consent of all the giants?

But then Odin said, “I ran away because I was scared.” The giants looked in disbelief, and in their hearts they began to distrust their ruler Odin and his plan to move his base to the other world.

“Kuuuu..!! Doesn’t the chieftain feel anger at the death of his brother!?” Surtr shouted.

“I feel anger too. I wanted to trample and crush the other world’s bastard who killed my brother right then and there.”

“Then why didn’t you do that and instead ran away?”

“I might have been able to relieve my immediate anger. But what if it happened to me? And if it happened to me? Who would have told people about this and prepared for it?”

Odin’s words were reasonable.

“Kuuuu.”

“Damn it..!”

However, it was not a word that could persuade the giants who were more emotional than rational. Odin, who had been looking at the giants who were trembling with anger at the death of their own kind, lowered his crystal staff and opened his mouth.

“The anger you are feeling right now towards the aliens! Or the anger towards me, the coward who ran away without taking revenge right away, whatever it is!”

Knock!

“With that anger as strength, I will prepare and train to conquer the alien world starting today!”

Knock!

“The day I go back to the alien world, I will wipe out all the other races from the alien lands except for our race!”

Kuuuung!!!

An earthquake occurred on the land that Odin had picked, the earth split open, and magma gushed out.

“The new land we step on will become the second Gigantes!”

Odin’s words as he turned his back on the magma.

“Kuaaaa-!!”

“I will destroy everything! I will destroy them all, you aliens!!”

The giants’ angry roars shook Gigantes.
