History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 171

171fury. In front of the walls of Namaran (2)

I love you so much!

The sound of the wind passing by my ears.

Sensation of extremely constricted vision.

A feeling of extreme speed felt throughout the body..

It can't be compared to the roller coaster I rode when I was young..

But how can I be okay?.

‘Because it's a judgment call.!’

Lloyd shouted inwardly..

This is not the time to choose between hot and cold rice..

The Wall of Namaran was erected..

People in the city trapped inside the wall will be falling in real time..

When I thought about that, there was no more hesitation..

Because he is an apostle of justice?

‘Honestly, that's not it... … There's someone over there who will give me money!’

The city of Namaran must not fail..

It would be worse if Count Namaran died..

We must save the city and the county, complete the construction, and receive payment for the construction..

With that burning thought, Lloyd tightly grasped the steel shovel in one hand..

And then he lowered his body onto Kkomin’s back as he dived down..

‘Let's go!’

The ground is rapidly getting closer..

I saw a man in black clothes standing there..

He was looking at the barrier with his arms wide open..

I felt a strange and gloomy flow of mana from that man..

It is certainly.

He's a warlock.

Lloyd's eyes sparkled..

“Coming, now!”

“Coming!”

I yanked on the saddle handle..

Kkomin opened his folded wings wide..

sudden change in direction.

From vertical descent to horizontal flight.

I took advantage of the speed of the dive and glided as if grazing the ground..

He rushed towards the warlock..

Lloyd's shovel also flashed..

The moment Komin passes by the warlock.

The flat side of his steel shovel swung towards the warlock's thigh..

‘Got it!’

There is no way I can survive this blow..

You'll probably fall down clutching your legs..

Then I will figure out a way to subdue the man and nullify the barrier..

It was the moment when Lloyd drew a rosy blueprint..

A tremendous repulsion force was felt from the steel shovel that hit the warlock's thigh..

Teueoong-!

“……!”

I lost feeling in my right hand..

I almost lost the shovel..

If you didn't have 'Extended Mastery Skill: (Shovel)', if you weren't an intermediate sword expert, you might have really missed it..

“Yeah!”

No, not missing the shovel was actually bad luck..

My back was bent sharply as I received a kickback..

That power was also passed on to Kkommingi..

“Kko, kkomi-ing!”

Kkommingi's flight balance was lost in an instant..

The upper body turned roughly to the right, and Komingi's right wing was lifted. An unintentional sharp turn to the left. I lost both altitude and balance. Kkomin urgently flapped her wings..

but it was late.

To regain balance.

Even when raising altitude.

“Kkomi, Ming!”

“……Tsk!”

The ground welcomes this side.

so rough.

Quad deud deuk!

“……!”

fall. crash. rotation.

The earth and sky turned dozens of times.

No, it felt like I was rolling dozens of times on the ground..

I couldn't come to my senses..

When the harsh welcome on the ground finally ended, Lloyd could barely open his eyes..

“that… … Ugh.”

My whole body was throbbing..

At the same time, my whole body felt warm..

Something warm and cozy was covering my whole body..

It was a pair of wings.

“Coming?”

Lloyd's eyes widened..

Kkommingi was covering herself with her wings and closing her eyes..

Could it be that he protected me at the moment of falling?.

So did he take the shock of the fall instead?.

“hey? Coming?”

My heart sank..

I urgently shook Kkomin..

Kkomin gently opened his eyes..

“Kko, kko ming?”

“Whoa. are you okay?”

“Coming!”

“There are no injuries?”

“Come on! Coming!”

It doesn't hurt. That's cool.

But contrary to his courageous words, Kkomin did not wake up quickly..

Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any serious injuries. However, it seemed like it would take some time to recover from the shock of the fall..

‘Whoa. What's going on, really?.’

Only then did Lloyd feel a little relieved and shook his head..

Even while I was trying to get up, I was screaming that my whole body muscles were sore..

I picked up the shovel I dropped nearby..

I looked in the direction where the warlock was..

I couldn't help but laugh.

“Hehehe.”

I definitely hit you with a shovel earlier..

I saw the warlock still standing in good shape..

Even the sight of both arms wide open towards the sky was the same..

In other words, there was no damage at all..

‘Could it be that there was a protection spell??’

Lloyd's nose wrinkled..

It seemed like that..

The blow he had just delivered was no more than a simple blow with a shovel..

Kkomin's flight speed was raised to the limit through a sudden dive..

He put his and Komin's weight on it..

Contains the mana emitted from the Mana Heart..

It had the power to overwhelm even the lance charge of a decent amount of heavy cavalry. It was a shock comparable to being hit by a van..

‘But all that power bounced off. Thanks to this, this place crashed..’

What would have happened to him if Komin had not protected him at the moment of fall?.

Maybe it was the win with at least a full body fracture..

Lloyd unconsciously shook his shoulders..

I patted Komin, who was recovering from the shock..

“thank you. Wait here for a moment.”

“Kko, kko ming!”

I left Kkomin behind..

I approached the warlock..

If hitting doesn't work, I'll at least knock it down with a blast..

It was the moment I grabbed the steel shovel while thinking that..

“Grumble!”

“That's right!”

Two figures suddenly blocked the way..

But both had no heads..

A smell like rotting fish came over me..

zombie.

It was also a headless zombie..

“When I saw it from the sky earlier, I saw that they were scattered in groups of three. Could it be that it was a combination of one warlock and two guard zombies?.”

It seemed like that..

‘It's a bit burdensome.’

Lloyd shrugged his shoulders..

It's not that it's not, but honestly, facing undead like zombies was really burdensome. First of all, the visuals were like watching a fish in real life, so it was extremely bad for your eyes and mental health..

Also, what does it smell like?.

‘You can't really get rid of your nose..’

If it were a sin to reach the intermediate level of Sword Expert, it would be a sin..

Due to my senses being several times more sensitive than before, my olfactory cells were about to sing the chorus of destruction into an infinite medley of tour bus tickets..

But I can't back down.

There is no reason to back down.

Because I have great skill options to subdue those zombies..

Lloyd quickly opened the skill window before the two zombies rushed towards him..

And I activated the option of the Mana Heart skill..

Ding dong.

[Manaheart skill option ④: Undead domination is activated.]

“Grumble?”

It was two zombies trying to attack us..

In an instant, their whole bodies shook violently..

But that's all.

They showed their ferocity again.

At the same time, a disappointing message appeared before my eyes..

[The two zombies targeted for undead domination are headless. The two zombies cannot 'see' you. Therefore, the important condition for dominating the undead, ‘being able to dominate the undead you are facing,’ is not met..]

[Failed to dominate the undead.]

“purr!”

Kwaang!

Headless zombies rushing towards you with a crowded message in the background.

Lloyd's nose twitched..

“Oh really!”

I don't want to fight.

But if you have to fight, don't drag it on..

I had a bad mind.

I deflected the attacks of two zombies charging like bulls to the side..

I removed it with a shovel and kicked it to the side..

The two guys were entangled in that rope..

The legs were twisted and the two zombies fell as one..

“Grumble!”

They let out a roar again.

I immediately struggled to get up..

But that was their last gesture.

This was because before I could even get up, the blast that came pierced my torso..

Throwing a bet!

“……scratch!”

The blast fired from the steel shovel pierced the torsos of the two zombies. expanded. In an instant with a diameter of 50 centimeters. Everything in that range was dismantled..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

The bodies of the two zombies completely disappeared..

That was it..

“Tsk.”

Lloyd clicked his tongue..

Fortunately, I defeated the zombie, but I felt even more uneasy..

Actually, what's wrong with those zombies?.

No, I actually felt sorry for the zombies..

‘If you ask me, that guy is a really bad guy..’

His gaze turned to the warlock far away..

Those warlocks are really people who should be beaten to death..

Kill innocent people and turn them into zombies.

Build a strange wall and suck the life out of it..

If these people, who are such a nuisance and a cancer to society, are not bad people, then what are they?.

‘So you too in one shot.’

I will subdue it..

But I won't kill you.

Instead, I will beat you until you figure out how to neutralize the wall..

There was venom in Lloyd's eyes..

Ready to blast again.

fired.

Throwing a bet!

A torrent of rough mana poured out from the outstretched shovel..

It was shot. She rushed. It pierced through space. Hit the warlock's leg.

and bounced away.

Tukeng!

“……uh?”

Lloyd's eyes widened..

No matter what, it's still blasting..

‘It bounced off?’

I couldn't believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes..

But there was no way not to believe it..

‘Is this real?.’

Could it be that even a triple blast can cause damage?.

No, there is no guarantee that will happen..

So what should I do?.

Lloyd was deep in thought..

Then, suddenly, I realized something strange..

‘for a moment. Come to think of it, that warlock. It hasn't even moved since a while ago..’

When I think about it, it really was like that..

The first time I took a surprise attack on Kominyi and hit him with a shovel..

Even when this fallen side was fighting with two zombies.

It was like that when I just fired a blast..

That warlock just stood there like a stone statue with his arms spread out towards the sky the whole time..

That means…….

“hey. You can't move?”

I wondered if it was possible.

I slowly approached.

When I got closer to five steps, I started talking..

But somehow there was no answer from the warlock..

There was no reaction.

No, there was very little..

His whole body was stiff, and only his eyes were rolling and he was looking in this direction..

“under. It's true. Looks like I can't move.”

Lloyd stopped laughing without realizing it..

I felt like I knew a little bit now.

‘That warlock can't move because he's trying to create and maintain Namaran's barrier. Instead, he protected himself with a tremendous level of defensive magic..’

A blow from a steel shovel with tremendous force.

It was a defensive magic that even deflected blasts..

When I realized that, I felt rather embarrassed..

‘Then what should I do?.’

Lloyd was deep in thought..

Should we finish it off with a triple blast?.

Or should I use the fast charging option?.

But I was thinking about it like that..

Lloyd suddenly felt the familiar flow of mana from the warlock..

‘uh?’

I raised my head.

I moved my gaze.

A place where you can feel the flow of mana.

Dark wizard's chest.

I cast my eyes there.

Thanks to you I was able to find it.

“jewel?”

A purple-black gem was embedded in the warlock's necklace..

Lloyd moved closer to the warlock..

I openly observed the jewels on the necklace..

Thanks to you, I was able to realize.

‘It's the same thing.’

A skull dug out of the ground.

The jewels contained within.

It was the same thing..

The flow of mana felt from the gem was almost the same..

The strange and gloomy condensed mana was shaking as if running wild..

And it was resonating the walls of Namaran.

In other words, this gem is the magical medium that causes Namaran's barrier..

If so, the story is different..

It was from that moment.

‘bingo.’

The corners of Lloyd's mouth slowly rose..

An idea flashed into my head..

A gem obtained by dismantling mana countless times..

So, the mana structure of the gem that I have now become familiar with..

But he's using it in front of himself.?

‘This is like setting a table for me to eat..’

There is no need to work hard to break down barriers..

A magical medium that creates a barrier..

Because I just have to deal with that..

No, in this case there is a better way than simply dealing with it..

“Hey, hey?”

Lloyd looked at the warlock with a sly look in his eyes that had finally found his composure..

Of course, the warlock had no answer..

Lloyd's question continued..

“Are you relaxed now? Are you feeling reassured? Because there is defensive magic. You are enjoying the confidence and security that no matter how I hit you, hit you, pinch you, or throw a tantrum, you will be safe.?”

“…….”

What such an obvious thing to say.

The warlock gave me such a mocking look..

But Lloyd wasn't needlessly excited..

In times like this, the one who gets excited loses..

He responded with an even deeper smile..

“Rest assured. Why am I hitting you? Uselessly losing strength. Instead, I just need to peel off the center..”

“…….”

“What does it mean? Listen carefully. Do you see this jewel you have? From now on, I'm going to repurpose this gem..”

“……!”

“That doesn't make sense? But I can do it?”

“…….”

“Really. I want to see you?”

Lloyd raised his hand..

Jewel embedded in a warlock's necklace.

I grabbed the noctanium without hesitation..

“I don't know much about magic, but I know how to absorb and rearrange mana. Plus, I've been tinkering with blueprints for so long that I'm really sick of editing complicated and detailed things. I know what this means.?”

“…….”

“This gem you believe in. This means that I will change the mana arrangement condensed here. So the barrier will sacrifice and change the target from which it absorbs mana. Not to the people inside the wall, but to the person who created the wall: you..”

“……!”

A light of disbelief appeared in the warlock's eyes..

It was that moment.

Kiiiiing-!

Lloyd's three-pronged mana circle, holding the jewel, rotated wildly..

A shady mind technique specialized in mana absorption and rearrangement..

The true value of that mental method has begun to be exercised to an extreme level..
