33 – Advent – 3
“It doesn’t die.”
I lay on the floor and looked up at the sky, suppressing the sneeze that was about to come out of the dust.
The sky was clear without a single cloud, and it shone a very clean blue except for the brown dust rising from all sides.
There was an incessant thump of explosions coming from far away. It’s probably the sound of Serena and Kartina going head-to-head.
Serena seemed to be impatient with Kartina from earlier. I don’t know if the target was Kartina or something descended on Kartina’s body.
He waved his hand in front of his face, sweeping away the dust. There was a clatter behind him, the sound of piles of dirt and gravel crushing.
I put my arm on my side again and thought about the attack Kartina had just done.
I told him to attack with a stronger one, and as if he would do as he said, he gathered magic in his hand and blew everything around.
Thanks to that, the mansion was completely destroyed, and a huge crater was created in its place. And it was me lying in the middle of that huge crater.
If Kartina could come back, I wondered if she would be frightened to see this. It’s a pity that I can’t help it if I can’t come back.
Of course, unlike me, who was very gutted, Serena was fine. When I finished replaying and looked to the side, Serena was standing in her usual posture, with only a little soot on her face.
When I asked him if he accepted it head-on, he said yes. He said that he, my knight, could not dare to escape alone when I was not avoiding.
A bleak smile appeared on Serena’s face as she said that. When Serena made that face, it usually meant that she didn’t like something very much.
I got up and brushed the dirt off my clothes. I have to go up the road first. As soon as I stepped onto the slope of the crater, I sighed as I watched the pile of dirt crumbling helplessly.
how to go up
“You guys-“
“noisy.”
Kwajik, Serena’s Savaton stepped on Kartina’s head and broke it. Then, Kartina’s body changed into red particles and reassembled from there.
Tsk, Serena clicked her tongue in annoyance. I don’t know how many times I’ve run away like that since earlier.
At first, he attacked head-on, but after the situation repeated several times in which he could not compete properly and his body was torn to pieces at once, it continued like that.
It thoroughly spreads its distance and runs away, and never fights close.
Kartina’s speed was far less than Serena’s, but that granularity was very annoying. If it wasn’t for that, I would have killed dozens more by now.
She was scratching her nerves because she survived thanks to her grappling skills.

Just cutting it off is useless. Didn’t it regenerate even though it was cut to almost powder level earlier?
Serena pondered for a moment about what technique to use to completely kill it.
Serena never meant to miss this golden opportunity.
I didn’t like something that was called God in that body even before it landed on it, but it was only natural that I had a dignified cause to kill it.
Her lord also gave an ambiguous order not to necessarily save her, but to save her if possible, so it was a perfect opportunity.
Considering that woman had a conversation with her master while laughing, and that she dared to break his master’s body, she should have been killed.
Same with the huge explosion that happened a while ago.
Originally, she tried to get out of the explosion range with her master, but she calmly stayed by her side because she noticed the slight anticipation on her face.
As a result, she had to watch her master fall into pieces from the sidelines, so it was natural for Serena to grit her teeth at Kartina.
For Serena, the only one who had to hurt her lord was herself.
Kartina held out her right hand. The red bracelet on her wrist and the magic circle drawn on her palm shone at the same time.
Serena, who reacted instinctively, read the directions. right shoulder. He bent his back, bent his knees, leaned forward, and accelerated his body.
Even when Serena reached Cartina, Cartina had not completed the magic.
As if it was about to release magic, the clearer magic circle was cut into pieces by Serena like her wrist.
And before the emotion of bewilderment appeared on that expression, he continued his next attack. He stabbed a knife under his ribs to immobilize Kartina’s body, and infused mana into the World Eater.
A whirlwind swirled around the World Eater’s blade. Unable to withstand the whirlpool, Kartina’s body began to tear from the center.
I stepped on the top of my foot to keep my body from floating, then lifted the World Eater vertically. The wind-encased sword blade split Kartina’s upper body in half and scattered pieces of flesh and blood as it passed.
When the World Eater, which tore off its chest, neck, and head, came out completely, Serena struck the sword again in the exact same trajectory.
ㅡWind Road.
Ugh, Kartina’s body, unable to withstand the pressure, was crushed from above before the World Eater could reach it.
The blade came to a standstill just above the human body, which was completely compressed from top to bottom. The whirlpool that was swirling around the sword body was scattered in three directions as if exploding along its trajectory.
A transparent blade dug into the ground.
The colorless slash, born from the coalescence of numerous local vortices, followed the direction in which it was swung, literally tearing apart everything in its path.
The eerie sound of the ground cracking echoed through the buildings.
The whirlpool’s slash, which greedily swallowed everything in front of it, whether it was buildings, ground, or rocks, completely devastated dozens of meters before it turned into a handful of air and disappeared.
In the place where the slash had passed, only three long cuts and the remains of everything remained, as if someone had deeply scratched them.
Starting with a small house that stood precariously and collapsed, unable to withstand the blowing breeze, several buildings collapsed in succession, causing noise pollution.
The tattered skeleton could not bear its own weight and collapsed.
However, Kartina, who should have been torn to shreds, was back in good shape.
“Such tricks don’t work for me. They’re insignificant.”
I don’t know if it’s because I was unilaterally ridiculed by Serena, but Kartina’s tone and expression were strangely sharp.
It was a very different atmosphere from when he was first summoned here. A thin, white finger pointed at Serena again.
Serena clenched her fists at the strange sensation that permeated her whole body. It is likely that she used the lingering trick that had stunned her master on herself.
I didn’t want to know why it didn’t work for me, and I didn’t have to try to find out. The fact that it just didn’t work was enough.
“Similarly to that crude technique.”
“…You’re so arrogant. Serena Elizabeth.”
Serena paused as her name came out of Cartina’s mouth. Did you ever tell that bitch her name?
The answer, of course, was no.
She may have heard her master call her by the title, but it bothered her that she even mentioned her last name.
“You can see the confusion on your face, little thing.”
“I don’t think the bitch who was beaten up by that little thing just said that.”
“But I’m not standing still here.”
Serena couldn’t deny the words and swung the World Eater and blew off Kartina’s head. The severed head turned into bright red particles and regained its head form on the neck.
It was true that Serena unilaterally beat Kartina, but on the contrary, it was also true that she couldn’t kill it after all, even after beating it unilaterally.
Seeing that even if you split your body into thousands of pieces, change your whole body or smash it together with the city, it recovers intact, so it seems that you will have to drag it into a long-term battle until your recovery ability runs out.
I’ve dealt with a lot of things with such tenacious recovery ability. There was no difference between them and that woman.
Kartina, who had her neck intact, spat out calmly.
“Are you sure you don’t know that it’s useless?”
“That’s for me to judge, not for you to judge.”
“Then let me help you decide.”
At Kartina’s gesture, the ground turned bloody. Serena narrowed her eyes and looked around as the floor was soaked in blood rising from below.
Everywhere she touched her eyes were stained with blood. The fishy smell of iron stung his nostrils. Come to think of it, blood was also absorbed into that body along with the corpse.
It was only after the pool of blood filled up to his ankles that he barely stopped moving.

Judging from the fact that the water level did not rise any higher, it seemed that the height of the ankle was the limit, but the sight of bright red blood everywhere that reached the eyes was enough for ordinary people to fall into a panic.
Suddenly, blood gushed from Kartina’s side.
The spurted blood repeatedly coalesced and scattered among themselves, and then slowly began to change into the shape of a monster.
Eight pupils and a long slit mouth. It was a familiar looking monster.
Soon, hundreds of bloody columns rose from the pool of blood. And each one of them changed into the shape of a monster.
The curious thing was that even though the entire road was completely filled with monsters made of blood, the blood on the floor was still up to the ankles.
The monsters gradually narrowed the distance to Serena. Kartina narrowed her eyes and smiled.
“Now that the adaptation is over, let’s try it again.”
