Chapter 717 – 717. Savior of the Academy
717. Savior of the academy
“If you defeat that thing, you can get out of the dungeon. Not bad.”
Seongha-ri stepped on the advance strongly. Kwadeuk! On the shaky floor, he took the posture of throwing a javelin while maintaining the balance of his lower body. A blue current runs through her body. Seongha-ri gazed at the machine king and calmly controlled her breathing.
Seong Ha-ri’s revealed powers overwhelmed the heroes, including me, for an instant. Her aura alone tells her that she is in a different dimension.
The spear of lightning flew away with a huge shockwave. Simply tearing through the air with speed alone, he reached the machine king’s body in the blink of an eye.
Aaaaang!
Part of the huge body of the machine king who was walking this way was smashed and stumbled. He did not fall, but part of his body collapsed under the spear. It is as powerful as a huge missile.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! That lady is so strong!”
Makina made her fuss. It was a sight to shudder at, though. But she wasn’t enough with one blow. Since the Machine King is so large, the destruction rate alone is roughly 5%.
‘In other words, it means that the same attack needs to be added 19 times….’
Seong Ha-ri is pretending to be fine, but if you look closely, you can see that her breathing has become rough.
‘Her stats have been reduced by the spirit king’s spell (SS), and she must have been exhausted from the battles so far. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to attack like this 5 times….’
I wasn’t the only one who made that judgment. Rayburn approached Seongha-ri and said.
“Stop attacking ignorantly. If you get incapacitated, we’re done.”
“Are you saying that there must be a way? Tell me.”
Seongha-ri raised her hand. The spear she threw is summoned again. She was not her skill, but the ability of the spear. The window was intact with no damage anywhere.
“You said Makina. Artificial intelligence is a weakness. The Machine King is a giant moving building. It’s foolish to face it head-on from the outside, and it’s much better to find and destroy the AI room from the inside.”
“It’s a theory. But how are you going to break in there?”
“It has no pointy means. Have to do it somehow Instead, I figured out the location of the artificial intelligence room.”
Rayburn showed the laptop screen to Seong Ha-ri. A cross section of the Machine King was drawn. It seems that he was banging on his laptop hard before and was making blueprints.
“Wow. It’s amazingly precise. I thought it was the real original design drawing. Are you doing well?”
“If you are the soul of the Machine King, you should know the structure. Are there any mistakes?”
“Yes. The structure is roughly correct. But I don’t know the exact location of the artificial intelligence room.”
“If the structure is right, it is not difficult to predict. If it’s not this room, it’s here, or here, or here.”
A red dot appeared on the drawing. Seongha-ri stared at her drawing and nodded her head.
“I remembered. Let’s go. Ah, Yujin, Sohee, and Sara go to the back. This is an order.”
She said, displaying ferocity that would not permit rebuttal.
“Uh, I’ll do as you say.”
“I will protect Eugene at the cost of my life!”
“Yes, four!”
Even Makina responded with a disciplined attitude.
Seongha-ri started running toward the machine king with the raiding party.
I watched the situation through Mocha’s eyes as she flew through the air. Of course, Seongha-ri was the center of the assault force. With Flora’s blessing, her physical abilities have increased, and she can see why the S-class is also called the final weapon. She was outmatched by other A-class heroes.
The Machine King did not stand still. Fire homing missiles or release mechanical monsters to disrupt them. A guy named Ethan shot down a missile with a mana arrow, and the other raiding parties stopped the mechanical monster. The goal was to conserve Seongha-ri’s strength as much as possible.
Someone pulled my hair When I turned my head to the side, Makina was there. I narrowed my eyes.
“What are you. Why did you materialize?”
Makina was connected to me. I need my mana to materialize. Spirits of higher rank or higher can be materialized by their own power, but it is not efficient and the damage is great, so it is not possible to do so.
“Uh? Did it just work?”
“…… Are you all right?”
“You look a little tired, but no problem!”
“…….”
To materialize oneself effortlessly. It was a characteristic of the magic spirit.
‘… Is it because I used the demonic core?’
It was a little surprising, but I wasn’t too concerned. Makina and I are already bound by a contract. According to the terms of the contract called absolute obedience, Makina cannot betray me.
Makina seemed to notice me, but she disembodied and came next to me and whispered in her ear.
“What are you going to do? Are you going to just watch without stepping out? With your strength, you can easily defeat even Deus. Is it self-destruction through hacking or issuing an order to delete artificial intelligence?”
“…….”
Hacking is a fraudulent skill only for machines. However, it is not without its downsides. Cooldown is 3 hours long. It can only be used once per battle, so use it carefully. And there was a range. My current hacking level is 20. The range is 4km. Hacking does not work beyond that distance.
Above all, the more complex and powerful the machine, the shorter the hacking retention time. 15 seconds was the limit even when I maintained Makina right away. Given the size of the machine king, the hacking duration was likely shorter than that.
‘The range is fine. Because the machine king keeps coming this way. Even if I don’t move, the distance will soon close.’
The biggest problem was timing, and I didn’t have the confidence to destroy the Machine King in just a few seconds. It’s better to find a way that’s surer than hacking.
‘Machina. Aren’t you able to possess objects?’
“… Uh, you know that too?”
Another ability of Makina is possession. She can possess objects and mechanize them. If you possess a machine like a computer, you can dominate the machine. However, this is only possible for objects.
‘Shouldn’t I possess the machine king’s body and get in the way?’
“It’s a new ability this time, so I don’t know. It’s called possession, but I think it’s a similar ability to hacking, so I have to subdue Deus’ artificial intelligence…. Deus’ artificial intelligence is so high-powered that it’s a bit difficult. Above all, Deus is too big. Your mana can’t handle it?”
I forgot about the mana problem. There was nothing wrong with Makina’s words. Makina is my spirit. Use my mana ability.
‘Is there any other way? Should I just watch until Seongha-ri defeats the machine king?’
There is no 100% in this world. It could be that the machine king has hidden abilities, and Seongha-ri could make a mistake. Or, the attacking party caught Seong Ha-ri’s ankle. Seong Ha-ri is too worried to just sit still and do nothing.
‘…… If that’s the case.’
I looked at Han So-hee and Sarah. They were busy watching the situation. You took an item out of your inventory.
It was a sticker that came out of a random draw sometime. A little different sticker from absolute hypnosis.
[0.3 scale sticker].
When attached to an object, it has the effect of changing its size by 0.3 times.
[0.3 scale sticker
Attaching a sticker reduces the size and weight of an object by 30%. Remove the sticker and it will return to its original state. Stickers are disposable.
Price: 500 points
※Caution
Smaller objects are very likely not to be as effective as they should be.
Think of the space when peeling off the sticker.
It does not work on living creatures.]
‘… Machine King is a building. It will not be treated as a single object. I can’t make the castle’s overall size smaller.’
But the machine king was a machine. A machine is a collection of precise parts.
‘Machina. There is the most important item in the structure of the Machine King. Not artificial intelligence.’
“There are a few parts that cannot be left out. For example, the axis at the bottom center. Without it, 30% of Deus’ body would be incapacitated.”
‘What does that axis look like?’
“It looks like a giant cogwheel. Because its role is to transmit power.”
‘If I get rid of that, I’ll be able to weaken the Machine King.’
“Impossible. It’s inside to attack from the outside, and if you’re inside Deus, it’s better to find the artificial intelligence room.”
‘That too… No, wait. Down there. It’s made of huge plates, isn’t it?’
At the bottom of the castle is a steel plate with a huge bridge. It is not made of steel plates joined together, but is made of one whole.
“Because soil and living things can’t come in from the underground. It completely closed the gap. But why?”
‘If that thing disappears or disappears, the parts inside will pour out, right? Because the floor is gone.’
“It is. But that’s the hardest part of Deus’ body, isn’t it? I won’t budge from any kind of attack. If she throws a spear with the same power as before three times, maybe she can break through it?”
I called Mocha. Mocha was summoned in front of me. She materialized Mocha and placed a 0.3 scale sticker on her claw.
I can’t move because I can see Seong Ha-ri’s notice, and my speed is slow. But with Mocha, the story is different. Mocha, who flies freely in the sky, is able to move more freely than anyone else here.
As if Makina couldn’t understand, she looked at me and Mocha. She had no intention of explaining everything to Makina.
“Kwu-wook! Hold on!”
Moka, who told her to believe in herself, spread her wings and flew through the sky. Pachik Pachik. Mocha uses my mana generously and flies at full speed.
“Eugene! What have you done?!”
Han So-hee grabbed my arm tightly to prevent me from running away and asked.
“I asked Mocha for help. I heard Makina has a good method.”
“To Makina?”
Han So-hee looked around. Unlike me and Ha-ri Seong, she cannot see the spirits in her spiritual body.
‘If I mention Makina, I’ll be able to skip the question of what she did.’
I shared sight with Mocha.
The first thing that caught my eye was Seong Hari. She was approaching the King of Machines by creating a forcefield for footholds in the air and displaying incredible mobility. The raiding party supported it with all their strength.
‘You haven’t entered the inside of the Machine King yet. It’s perfect.’
As Mocha got close to the Machine King, she flew low. Because if she flew too high, she would be a perfect target for the Machine King. The Machine King kept it in check by shooting missiles and bullets at Mocha. Mocha dodged all of her, performing her aerial acrobatics.
‘Mocha. You don’t have to go too deep. Outside…. Yes, she puts a sticker on it.’
The moment the sticker was attached, the machine king’s lower plate shrank by 0.3 times. The things that fixed the lower plate were meaningless. Even though it had shrunk, the large bottom plate still fell to the floor. And a beat late, the machine king’s internal parts fall.
The most important parts were firmly fixed, so they were fine, but from a human point of view, it was as if the skin had been peeled off. The Machine King’s legs didn’t even move anymore. With this, more than half of the Machine King’s weapons were disabled.
“Oh My God! What the hell did you do?!”
Ignoring Makina’s admiration, I summon Mocha again in front of me.
‘The distance is approximately 3 km. It’s perfect.’
The raiding party struggled not to miss the opportunity even though they were embarrassed by the sudden luck. It was then. The upper part of the machine king split open and a huge hand appeared. It was a hand with thousands of little fingers. Cannons, machine guns, blades, harpoons, and all kinds of dangerous weapons are attached to the fingers.
“It’s the hand of Deus! It’s a kind of trump card, but I didn’t expect to get it out already! Looks like Zeus is cornered too!”
The raiding party did not panic. Makina provided all information about Deus to the raiding party in advance. And Seong Ha-ri finally entered the machine king’s interior.
The sight unfolding before my eyes was overwhelming.
Seongha-ri moved forward brandishing his spear. Using the platform called the stationmaster, he wielded his spear while freely playing in the air. Her thunder rang every time she swung her spear. Every time the spear moved, lightning followed. After the flash, the Machine King’s fingers were destroyed.
Thousands of weapons did not stop Seongha-ri from advancing in the slightest. Seongha-ri, like the incarnation of destruction, simply destroyed everything and moved forward.
