Chapter 723 – #155_Party(4)
#723
One.
-Fury!
The dark hallway was turned red by the flames from the candlesticks.
Its appearance is reminiscent of a flashing warning light.
Rinne ran down the hallway with Siwoo on her back.
She sprints along the escape route she had planned in advance.
From the moment the studio door was cut down, a secret escape was virtually impossible.
Therefore, I ran towards the shortest route, ignoring all the security devices in between.
Even so, she couldn’t just go straight ahead.
It was because all kinds of attack magic to eliminate intruders caught her ankle.
A device whose purpose is to delay as much time as possible rather than to inflict fatal damage on its own in the first place.
As long as she had to move while carrying Siwoo, who had been turned into a 0-level mite by her leash, Rinne’s movement was also hindered.
“Hold tighter.”
Siu, who was clinging tightly to Rinne’s back, was certain.
Again, this is trespassing.
Linne really made the decision to turn against the whole of Hexsenacht for Siu alone.
“What are you going to do?”
“Hide in the hideout prepared in advance and wait for an opportunity to escape Hexsenacht.”
Responding like that, Rinne, who casually stepped on the wall and ran, landed lightly on the floor.
“Get away from it because you might get involved.”
“… Yes.”
Even though he couldn’t use magic, Siwoo, whose magic eyes were working normally, also got off Rinne’s back and stuck close to the wall.
Because she feels
Someone approaching the hallway without even trying to hide their presence.
– Again and again
It goes without saying who the identity of the person who appeared along with the sound of shoe heels was ringing.
The owner of this almak club and a powerful achievement reaching the 23rd tier.
The Witch of Gold, Lydia Magnus.
“What kind of rat is this?”
While participating in a convention, Lydia senses an alarm that alerts an intruder and returns to the Almak Club faster than anyone else.
Even in the darkness where red and black are mixed, golden eyes that do not fade at all are smiling calmly.
“You interrupted my happy hour earlier…. Do you have any regrets about me?”
“I’ve come to get him back.”
“You are very quick-witted. I thought she had no idea.”
Lydia let go of her respect, which she usually acted like a pretense.
Instead, she spreads a barrier that covers the entire hallway.
Violence is strictly prohibited inside Hexsenacht.
Even if illegal trespassing occurs, it is the consensus of all Hexennacht members to punish through legal procedures.
However, the Solidus Merchant is an organization that boasts a considerable amount of power even within Hexsenacht, and the Almak Club is no different from its headquarters.
There was at least a concealment device to impose self-punishment on intruders who did nonsense.
It means that no one will notice even if you open a barrier and fight in this place.
Perhaps aware of that, Rinne also took out her sword without saying anything.
“If you leave him, I will turn a blind eye to your trespassing. I haven’t even played properly yet.”
“If you let him go, I will leave Hexsenacht quietly. We show due regard for covering up the crime and transferring the ownership.”
The conversation between the two was calmer than Siu expected.
Lydia was not angry when she caught Linnaeus trespassing on her workshop.
Linne, too, did not express her anger that Lydia had stolen her Siu and lied to her.
The fool is sick.
Rules are blurry lines that can easily come and go in order to achieve a goal.
The only thing that can make a definite decision on what is right and wrong is only one person’s strength.
Bondi, this is the way to live with merit and merit.
The eyes of Lydia and Linne, who set different conditions for Shin Si-woo, quietly meet.
Analyze the current situation in each head.
First, the case of Lydia.
Linnaeus committed the felony of trespassing her other witch’s workshop by herself.
However, if you try to publicize this and solve it through normal procedures, Siwoo’s existence will inevitably be exposed.
In addition, Lydia will not be able to freely decide what to do with Shin Si-woo.
The best way is to bury Rinne here and make it look like ‘nothing happened’.
In the case of the following Linnaeus.
Lydia’s act of stealing Siu was done by her own will.
This is supported by the fact that Lydia has come to settle the case with her own hand, even though she is participating in an important meeting called the Great Council.
If you defeat Lydia in this spot, you can escape straight away without any other obstacles.
To put it simply.
Winner-take-all loser-take-all.
“I have to go back quickly, so I’ll finish it in five minutes. Come on.”
“…….”
The two people who reached an agreement without saying anything else raise their magic power.
The trembling of the profound magical energy drawn out by the 22nd and 23rd ranks made the glass panes of the windows tremble.
-Ugh
A blurry barrier forms around Siwoo.
In order not to get caught up in the fight, Lydia and Rinne each developed two layers of defense.
No matter how the victory or defeat of this battle is decided, it is futile if the product is damaged.
“Bear it.”
After Siwoo’s safety was secured.
It was Linne who moved first.
At the same time as the chanting, Rinne’s body collapses as if melting, and it shoots straight in front of her.
It was an explosive leap with the addition of two things: perfect relaxation that eliminated all unnecessary force and Linnaeus’ magnetism magic that controlled inertia.
Her follow-up foot sword, which flowed like water, would make her head fall off without even being able to identify it.
Even if she manages to block it, Rinne’s deformed swordsmanship, which bends like a ghost, will cut her off somewhere among her limbs.
However, Lydia didn’t blink an eye even though she missed Rinne’s new type of attack with her fierce momentum.
“That’s the story of when it touches you.”
-Ting
A clear, clear sound that does not suit the battlefield.
Lydia’s thumb flicks off a small, crude gold coin.
The gold coins that disintegrated in the air causing waves were cast by melting the human spirit, body and soul.
It takes an average of 21.7 healthy adult men and women to produce one small piece of metal.
When Lydia’s small magic power acts as a catalyst, the vast amount of magic power stored in the gold coin is scattered like a runaway.
In this Lydia paid her price.
The world will respond.
“Prove it.”
Lydia purses her lips and casts her incantation, and the microparticles that shatter into golden shards take shape.
Golden-bodied moths flapping their wings filling the hallways.
It was a familiar that seemed too weak to block Rinne, who was charging like a black predator.
However, Rinne, who was charging as a black wedge, gave up her frontal breakthrough.
The body bends in an unnatural curve like a snake crawling.
In addition, the colors of black and white, which were painted along with Linnaeus’ run, are bizarrely twisted while stopping diffusion.
It was a sight that Siwoo, who was watching from a distance, could not easily understand.
Rinne and Siu’s fighting styles have many similarities.
It was the part where the majority of witches could gain an advantage the moment they narrowed the distance.
If you want to squeeze in, leave enough gaps to enter and break the momentum of the first attack yourself.
At first glance, that moth doesn’t look that threatening.
“What?”
However, the moment when the black-and-white world that had followed Linne half a beat later overlaps with the brightly shining moth.
Siu realized that it was only a room.
Also, if he had been there instead of Rinne, he would have been sunk without even attempting a proper fight.
The moth flapping its wings did not lose its color even in the black and white world.
Rinne’s black-and-white world takes away her magical nature, but that doesn’t mean she can take everything without restrictions.
The color cannot be taken away from magic that is so strong that it cannot be eroded.
As an example, Siwoo’s red branch, which concentrated his magic power, maintained its red color even in the image that Linne implemented.
This means that Lydia’s moth has a huge power that is completely different from its appearance.
“…….”
Linnaeus, on the other hand, knew about this magic.
Despite having lived for a long time, she is the well-known ‘worthless poisonous moth’ among Lydia’s magics surrounded by a veil.
By itself, it has no power or destructive power to inflict injury.
Even if you touch your bare body without defense, it will just scatter and disappear.
However, the golden poisonous moth eats and corrodes the ‘value’ itself of beings.
Once it came into contact with the body, belated defense and evasion are meaningless.
If the target is a witch, magnetic magic, mana, physical ability, and even vitality.
All elements that make a witch valuable are returned to ‘worthless’.
Degenerate a high-level character to a beginner level with a light touch,
An absurd technique that causes a certain percentage of life to be lost no matter how solid the defense is.
If even a normal archwitch touches her body with only about 5, her power is limited to that of an apprentice witch.
In other words, this swarm of moths is a death trap that Lydia has spread widely.
A deadly trap that instantly confirms defeat if even one touches the body.
This is Lydia’s magnetic magic that deals with the concept of ‘value’ itself, not elements, magic formulas, or force fields.
There is a ‘lucky witch’ as a witch who deals with similar ideas, but Lydia is of a different class in terms of 23rd hierarchy, sophistication and power.
“…….”
However, Rinne is also a fighter who has overcome all her experiences and survived.
It would be an easy fight for her. She had never been optimistic.
Rinne’s sword burned her black magic.
As if the ink that embroidered the air is sucked in, it is concentrated at the end of the blade of Daetaedo and Sotaedo.
No matter how powerful the poisonous moth is, this is the number.
It is a self-evident fact if we compare which one has the upper hand between the power concentrated at one point and the scattered power.
Even though the speed of the moth is very slow, Linnaeus jumped into the chore of poisonous moths without any hesitation.
Every time her body draws a black line like a black storm, countless evil insects fall.
-Chack! Chow! Chew!
But to Lydia, the poisonous moth is just a guardian golem to buy time.
At the point where she first caught Rinne’s rush, she fulfilled her calling.
“Prove it.”
A clean and beautiful gold coin bounced again with a clear sound.
The gold coins that had been cast from Rosie’s corpse the other day spun around as if they were dancing.
At this point Lydia was confident of her own victory.
