Kyushu Crisis (4)
A mountain covered with a fantastic border like broken glass like a hemisphere.
Koo Goo Goo—!
A roaring sound erupted from the center.
At the same time, a terrible wave of destruction shook all directions, but now it was nothing new.
As if the land had been bombed, it was impossible to recognize its original form with cracks and pits everywhere.
Remnants of trees and rocks that had been dug up to the root and blown away were scattered here and there, revealing the horrors of the place.
Since everything in the area was like that, of course, the small mountain hut nearby had already disappeared without a trace.
along with the poor decoys that were trapped inside.
“Wow!”
Kwaaang-!
At that time, a metal muscle monster more than 3 meters tall collapsed into the hill behind it with a loud bang sound.
As strong as it looks, he came out from the mound of dirt shortly after, but as if the cumulative impact was not small, he stumbled and vomited a bowl of black blood.
[“Damn it! Doesn’t the assistant do it right? You almost died!”]
[“Muh… What are you talking about? You assisted, so you are still alive!”]
[“Keuk, don’t talk nonsense, join us as soon as you recover! Isn’t this the time to be rude!”]
[“What an absurd thing to say!”]
There was a moment of disturbance in the mental network opened for quick communication, but they formed a formation again and joined forces to hunt the demon king who descended to the present world.

Most of them were far from cooperative, but the vast experience accumulated while climbing the stage was enough to make the arrangement a trivial matter.
“Whoop!”
The metal mine, ‘Tank’, who recovered in an instant with his tremendous regenerative power and the assistance of the people around him, took a deep breath and threw himself again to attack like a missile.
At ignorant speeds approaching supersonic speed.
Koo Goo Goo!
In an instant, the air in the path burst and a huge aftershock raged.
A dash of destruction that turns anything in the way into powder based on overwhelming physical power.
Quaang!
However, that enormous mass weapon had no choice but to stop in the middle, failing to achieve its goal as before.
“Keugh! Damn, something like this!”
As if ignoring the laws of physics, the abyss with substance absorbed the shock and swayed roughly, and soon it burrowed into the tank’s body.
Although he possessed transcendental durability and exorcism, that strange aura began to slowly eat away at his body, unlike ordinary magic.
[“Kuu! Auxiliary quickly! This disgusting thing keeps breaking through my anti-magic!”]
However, the Buncheonhoe side, which had prepared a lot in advance, was not just being helpless.
“Almighty Muriel, let your majesty descend here!”
A twilight light emanating from a woman with a timid impression supporting her from behind.
The spirit of the abyss touched by the divine power of the so-called ‘High Priestess’ was broken, and it bounced out of the tank’s exorcism without being able to pierce it.
Of course, it was only somewhat weakened, but it did not completely block the abyss with her ability alone, but those present here were capable of making good use of the small gaps created by it.
Kwagwagwang!
Whoops—!
Explosive noise erupted from all directions, both on the ground and in the air.
Based on their numbers, the elites of the Buncheonhoe constantly connected and attacked, and the corresponding Hahoe masks were projecting overwhelming firepower in all directions, crossing space in an instant, even for a very short time.
As if the magic power were infinite.
“…I thought I would see the demon king here too. How could a human body have such power…”
The High Priest, who was raising his divine power again to aid in the battle while muttering lowly, stiffened his body at the sudden chill.
The moment I looked at the Hahoe Mask to determine the location of the target.
Since when did they stare at her, their eyes met with that abyss-like gaze.
It was only for a moment that her body stiffened when she faced the eyes that contained the magic of the abyss.
Damn—!
A brief gap in this battlefield was enough time for one life to disappear.
Quadduk!
The sharp teeth that protruded from the ground around the High Priest stood on were chewing up the space in an instant and disappearing to the floor.
As if nothing had happened, the place was empty without any traces left.
Not many people were able to react to the surprise, which had no sign or portent, and unfortunately, she did not have that ability.
But that’s coming soon.
It was also said that there was no one who could respond.
“Ugh… thank you. I almost died…”
Next to the man in the suit who was seated far behind, the High Priest, who looked unscathed, was sweating cold with a pale face.
[Hmm—.]
Then, this time, Hahoe Mask’s disapproving gaze turned to him.
Despite the fact that he is still in the middle of fighting against a strong man who is close to thirty, moving around the battlefield and floating dozens of magic circles around him.
‘That’s amazing.’
The man in a suit, who is in charge of the Tokyo branch of the Buntiankai, did not relax and used his energy delicately, while admiring the opponent in his heart.
His unique skill, 「The Manager of the Small World」, wasn’t just about isolating all sides.
It was only a very basic usage, and this interior was a space completely under his control.
Of course, even so, he was only a ‘manager’ and not a god, so he could not rule the world as he pleased, but he could do many things with only a part of his authority.
They were even able to ignore some of the restrictions imposed by Earth’s laws.
‘Even so, it’s at that level.’
The manager and the man in the suit jumped out of the space by snapping their fingers again and stuck out their tongues.
roar-
The place where he had been a moment ago was already engulfed in black flames and melting into magma.
‘Even though I’m limiting my power as much as I can, it’s that kind of ability. It’s not a joke, if it wasn’t for this, we could have been wiped out.’
Indeed, there was a reason why the ruler of the statutes urged caution by asking for trust.
At that time, I thought it was a needless fuss when a person who was not in the combat system came from somewhere and was beaten…
‘But this is already my world. Hahoe mask, you will never get out of here.’
From restricting power to opponents, strengthening allies, and moving those in danger to a safe place.
He sensitively sensed everything that happened within his realm and adjusted the battlefield little by little.
In order to more reliably incapacitate the opponent.
***
All kinds of mysteries pouring out from the magic circle built in an instant.
Thunderbolts and flames, hell and demons, shadows and flashes, all of them showed off their presence by devastating the surroundings in the blink of an eye.
However, despite that exciting sight, the user himself was not at ease.
‘It’s frustrating.’
That was the thought that filled Hans’s head while he was fighting Buncheonhoe.
‘I guessed that he would have been prepared to some extent in advance, but this kind of coercive force could not be expected.’
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Moreover, it was not just the space constraints that restrained his power.
No matter how many hands he had, all sorts of skills piled up on top of each other, putting shackles on his body.
The control of dark magic, which had always been smooth, creaked, and unnecessary leaks began to occur even in the efficient magic design.
You’re here—feels like the laws of the world itself are trying to limit his limits.
‘The priests are also a problem. The divine power, which is already in conflict with the abyss, is combined with the constraints of space, and the effect is greatly multiplied.’
It would have been easier to deal with if they were simply high level people.
However, Awakeners who use all kinds of extraordinary abilities were not the ones who could judge their combat power simply with that alone.
The moment Hans was looking for a solution while continuing the frantic battle again.
“#$%@#.”
As if looking for a momentary gap, incomprehensible words came from behind.
‘Oops!’
thud! Ku-goo-goo-!
Dozens of shocks that continued as if overlapping with a single hit.
Before Hans, who reacted quickly and turned around, could do anything, while he was in the middle of defending against the enemy’s attack, the defense shield, which was already weaker than usual, burst through.
The moment the near-infinite black magic tried to restore it.
The fist, already wrapped in dazzling divine power, was deeply lodged in his stomach.
Kwaddeuk!
Quaang!
Hans’ body bounced away with a strong shockwave.
However, the expression of the middle-aged man in a uniform who had been hit by a valid blow was not very good.
“#*%^&···.”
roar-
It was only natural that the fist, which had been entwined with divine power, was contaminated by the abyss and aimed at him, and the curse that had been activated at the moment of being hit wrapped around his whole body.
“Suck!”
Afterwards, he shook off the remnants of the abyss with his strong internal energy, but he couldn’t help but look like he was in disarray.
[Whoa, they are troublesome guys after all.]
On the other hand, Hans, who had allowed the attack, had not only restored the shield before he knew it, but was in such a far-sighted state that it was questionable whether he had even suffered damage.
But that didn’t mean there was no damage…
Although he recovered quickly thanks to the ‘immortality’ effect attached to the ‘Heart of Immortality’, the attack, which was mixed with divine power, was steadily eating away at his power in this annoying space.
Again, we had to hurry up and come up with a countermeasure before it was too late.
If the damage accumulates like this, there will be only an ending where you run away.
‘That’s nonsense. Wouldn’t it be better if I missed the guys who ran away? Is this Hans running away?’
It wasn’t just a Hahoe mask problem.
It was an act that was absolutely unacceptable, involving the fear of Auterica… and the pride of the ‘Immortal King’ as well.
‘As with other things, as expected, the limitations of this space bother me the most. If it weren’t for this limiting my skill level, I’d be able to get rid of the other debuffs somehow.’
In addition, it was a big problem that I couldn’t finish them off properly because of the man in the suit who coordinated it.
The enemies eliminated so far were limited to two priests who were careless in the beginning and three who were somewhat lacking in skills.
After that, the man in the suit focused on protecting his allies, so he couldn’t deal with them any more.
‘No matter how you think about it, it’s best to destroy this place. But they won’t leave it alone.’
In order to destroy this space, it required a level of power to interfere with the dimension, and of course, such magic could not be used without any preparation.
It is a method that is impossible to do now, where the workshop continues without a moment’s rest.
‘If you pour the abyss, which is a higher energy, into the boundary, there’s a possibility, but… He seems to be wary of that too, so the restraint against him is particularly strong.’
The longer I stayed in this space and the more I was grasped by the other person, the more delicate the restrictions that were gradually applied.
Instead of simply reducing the power of the individual Hans, it is now starting to limit the concept of ‘unidentified energy used by Hahoe Mask’.
It would have been possible if he had responded right away at the beginning when he couldn’t figure it out.
Even so, when the abyss, which was less efficient on Earth, was restricted by power, its power fell to the point where it was difficult to break the boundary at once.
But.
Originally, nothing is perfect in the world, and there are loopholes in everything.
‘It grasps the abyss through me and suppresses it. In other words, it’s as long as I’m not the one who handles the abyss.’
An entity that is connected to itself but is not itself.
At the same time, it is a being that is strong enough to withstand the high concentration of the abyss.
While continuing the fight as before, Hans poured dark magic and abyss into the [Immortal Heart].
It continues without stopping, as if compressed to a high density.
In the process, the number of times he was hit by enemies gradually increased, but he was an immortal body that would not die unless his heart was destroyed.
And in order to break his heart, the other side had no choice but to use the same dimension-slicing attack…
In a way, it was a battle he could never lose.
But.
It wasn’t enough just to say ‘I won’t lose’.
The only thing that suits Hans is victory!
And that was what only ‘overwhelming victory’ could represent him.
[Kuhuhh— Indeed, it’s quite the way. Then I can’t stay like this.]
“What tricks are you trying to do!”
“Don’t fall over! Stay poised!”
The [Immortal Heart] wriggled and pulsated wildly.
And finally, the moment when it goes beyond a certain limit.
Hans summoned an undead closely related to him.
[Come out, Heratos.]
Kulleong—
The Bone Dragon, Heratos, made from the body of a light dragon stained with ‘madness’.
Unlike Entrasio, Hans himself was a guy with a limit in that he lacked independence thanks to taking on the role of Dragon Heart.
But I mean.
Conversely, dependency meant superiority over any undead—.
Flutter— Flutter—
[Kiyaaa——!]
Heratos, who appeared at Hans’ feet and flew up with him on his head, was already filled with the extremely compressed power of the abyss.
Bounce— Bounce!
Of course, his body was gradually disintegrating in the aftermath, but since it was the dragon’s body, it was enough to endure for a while.
“What?!”
“What is that monster! How could such a thing be on Earth!”
“for a moment! Now and there…!”
One of the members of the Buncheonhoe pointed to the mouth of Heratos.
The result of swallowing the abyss and black magic through the heart even before being summoned.
Despite the fact that he had just been summoned, his mouth was glistening with enormous power that seemed ready to explode at any moment.
“manager! That’s fast…!”
“Kuh, it’s already too late…!”
Eventually, that power.
Before the other Awoken could do anything.
[Kyaaah——!]
Condensed to a high concentration, it was poured into the borders of the world as it is.
In a very intuitive form called dragon’s breath.
Goo Goo Goo—!
Kwaaang-!
“Keugh! Back off! Stop fighting and get out!”
“Mu…Murel! Protect your servant!”
“Operation stop! Space is collapsing! as soon as···.”
No matter how urgent it was, there was an urgent uproar that erupted not only from the mental network but also from nurturing.
[Kheuhahahaha— Ah, I feel a little better now! Yes, that’s it! Ha ha ha!]
Finally, the ‘small world’ that surrounded the hill collapsed.
Hans, Heratos, and the Buncheonhoe gang appeared in the hills of southern Kyushu.
In the back mountain, not far from the city, where the lodge of the underground organization Hans was aiming for was located.
“Uh, huh? what… what is that? monster?!”
“Oh, Mom! mom!”
“Kyaa-! What are the Guardians doing!”
Against the background of the screams of citizens in chaos, it was the moment when the Bone Dragon of another world, which no one expected, appeared in the sky above the earth.
