episode_0428

It’s already been 72 hours since Maniter was thrown into a tomb by a goblin, and then under a tangerine.

Exactly three days have passed and four days have passed.

Several warships are still forming a circle around the stone tomb, keeping a close eye on the Manator.

The military flags of those warships are not only flying the Korean flag, but also the flags of other countries.

Following Japan, China, and even India over there, there are warships flying the world union flag.

The warships were far outside the first circle formed by the Korean warships, but they were ready to attack at any time.

[iced coffee. To all heroes.]

A man’s voice rang out through a loudspeaker around the stone tomb.

[From now on, we are carrying out the final eradication operation of ‘Manator’. The top priority is to defeat the demon that invaded our territory with our own hands.]

fluttering.

The wind blows, and the Korean flag hoisted on a warship flutters.

Above the Taegeukgi, in the air, three women were waiting for their time, each with their mana maxed out.

Snow White.

Baridegi.

Firefox.

The three S-class members gathered on Jeju Island were all conserving their mana, and in the center of the triangle-forming formation, a woman in a suit resembling a female diver’s uniform was waiting for a signal.

[Then… mission, start. Brain Emperor, deployment begins!]

The woman in the haenyeo suit who was standing on the spider web of ice, Emperor Noe, dived and jumped under the web without hesitation.

A black wire was attached to her ankle, and a helicopter was gliding in the sky, holding on to the wire.

Splash, splash.

The Emperor himself dives vertically down into the tomb at a depth of several tens of meters.

An external camera connected to the Emperor’s suit sent images of things beyond the tangerine, and people waited for a response.

and.

Flash!!

Something red and thin came towards the Emperor and tried to wrap around him.

The Emperor sprayed electricity forward and immediately kicked the wire, and the association agent on the helicopter immediately pulled the wire and pulled the Emperor.

Splash!

The Emperor came out of the tangerine tomb.

At the same time, a long, thin tentacle tried to wrap itself around the Emperor.

Puzzle!

The Emperor took out a battery from inside the suit and threw it down, and as soon as the finger-sized battery touched the tentacle, it generated a powerful electric shock.

Puss….

The red tentacle was struck by lightning and fell into the tangerine graveyard.

However, only burnt marks remained and it did not sink, and the thunderbolt climbing the wire could not even think of shaking off the tangerine stuck to its body.

Bubbling.

Something is boiling up from below.

It wasn’t just the tangerines boiling due to geothermal heat, it felt like something was crawling up from the tangerine tomb.

[come.]

No sooner had the president of the association said anything.

Puhwaa—-Ah!!

A red lump rose from the grave.

It stretched out its long legs towards the wall like a spider, and the middle part of its body was eerily empty.

It was as if a huge stake pierced through the body could not be removed, and the body was forcibly stretched and torn, creating a hole in the middle of the body.

“Air circulator…?”

It’s like looking at a windless circulator with an empty space in the middle, and a strange body that looks like a hula hoop with limbs attached.

The hole in the middle was shaped like it would pass through the entire body of the Buster goblin that had previously pierced him.

[Did Mr. Tong escape as if he were going through a tennis racket…!!]

“Yes?”

[No, no…! From now on, we will name the Manator as the variant, ‘Circulator’!]

The circulator twisted and deformed its body and succeeded in escaping.

[Coming up! Snow White! Release the cover!]

The ice spider web covering the top of the tomb lost its light in an instant.

The sea water frozen by mana instantly melted and fell down, and although it was a very small area, sea water fell all over the circulator’s body.

with a splash.

It wasn’t sea water.

It wasn’t ice, but ‘oil’ hidden inside the ice.

[Firefox!]

The fire fox floating in the southern sky puts its hands together and snaps its fingers forward.

At the same time, countless flames spread out behind her flew forward like fiery arrows.

The flame is different from the usual light pink flame, with a red flame in front of the light pink flame.

[ignition!]

Pa–ah.

Just as a rocket throws away its propellant, the light pink flame threw forward the red flame it had been holding in front of it – the ‘flame of nature’.

Grumble!

A fire starts to burn towards the place where the oil fell.

The flame fell on the surface of the tangerine tomb, on the oil, and began to emit hot heat from below.

Puhwaaaak.

The circulator crawled up onto the stone tomb.

Even though his whole body was on fire, he stretched out his legs like an animal and started looking in all directions.

[I don’t know where to run! Be prepared!]

The warships slowly turned and began to move.

If by chance the circulator ran like a flea, in order to avoid its trajectory, it overheated the engine and began moving at maximum speed.

[Live firing begins!!]

The warships opened their guns at once and began firing.

There was no point in bombarding a demon, but bombarding a monster that was unable to recover its mana and scurried about was definitely meaningful.

[Keep cutting down the shield! One day, your mana will run out!!]

The reason he was able to escape by tearing and stretching his body left and right was because he was so low on mana that he was on the verge of death.

It is a monster that has risen from the pits of hell in order to survive and to find mana to suck.

Although there were no people with special abilities aboard the warship, Circulator continued to keep a close eye on the surroundings.

and.

■■■■■!!

Like a wounded lion screaming just before death, it raised its head toward the sky and jumped in place.

[Brain Emperor! damage!!]

What the circulator is aiming for is the thunderbolt that is still floating in the sky.

It went up into the sky along the wire, but the helicopter also continued to increase its altitude, but the speed of the circulator, which lowered its body and jumped straight up, was faster than that.

[this!]

The moment when the circulator jumped exactly to the height of the Emperor the Terrible.

“Heh.”

Puzzle!!

The Emperor’s body disappeared along with the thunderbolt.

Quack!

The circulator tightened its body inward as if to close its mouth, but the Emperor was no longer there.

Doo doo doo doo.

As if by magic, the Emperor held onto the bottom of the helicopter and waved his hand downwards.

“It’s over, Manator.”

■■■■!!

Is he angry that his nickname has changed?

Or is he angry that he missed the food, barely managed to muster up the strength to run, and only caught an illusion?

Probably, of course, it’s the latter.

Unless one asked the person concerned, no one could know exactly where the anger was coming from.

There was no need to know.

The moment it rose into the air, the circulator’s fate was already decided.

Flashing.

■■■?!

Below the circulator.

The tangerines that filled the grave evaporated in an instant.

In the pit is Buster Hareubangi with his arms crossed, with his feet pointing downwards.

And on top of Buster Hareubang’s head, there was a blonde woman, looking up at the sky with her arms crossed, like Buster Hareubang, with her hair fluttering.

[also! You’re here, Platinum Sun!!]

As if he believed it, the association president’s shout echoed through the speakers and throughout the battlefield.

[Go—-!!]

There was no need to dictate techniques or direct actions.

Platinum Sun was already stretching one hand towards the sky, and only his index finger was stretched upward, aiming for the circulator.

Gooo ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

The golden magic that gathers at the tip of Platinum Sun’s index finger.

In the light that seemed to be forming a small sun, the circulator turned around again.

The limbs fluttering from the torn body flutter upward, and the head stretched downwards points towards the platinum sun and opens its mouth wide.

The scene looked as if a goblin had jumped into the Maniter’s cluster bombardment before.

but.

[for a moment.]

The moment I saw the mana of the cluster bomb gathering as platinum light sparkled, the circulator stopped in midair.

[Let me cool my head.]

Pa-ah.

Intense energy emanating from the index finger.

The small sphere of magic power stretched straight up toward the sky, spewing out a barrage wider than the pit.

Pa—- Ah!!

It was a pillar of light.

It was a huge pillar of mana that shot from the ground toward the sky.

And in the middle of the pillar, the circulator is crumbling like a heap of ashes.

Kiiig!!!

A roar shakes the sea.

The limbs are twisted by the barrage of golden mana, and the entire body crumbles into ashes and soars into the sky.

[Even a perfect alien cannot overcome a stronger force! Just like this, blow it all the way up to the sky!!]

With the association president’s shout, the pillar of light grows even larger and reaches into the sky –

Pa-ah.

It pierced through the clouds and disappeared in an instant.

[Did you do it…me?]

The cautious voice of the association president.

The light disappears and there is nothing in the middle of it.

fluttering.

Platinum Sun folded his index finger extended to the sky, lowered his hand, held both sides of Dopo, and slightly bowed his head.

Flashing.

Jumping in front of Buster Hareubang, she disappeared into the portal.

As if everything was done.

[Uh… really…?]

While everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden disappearance of the platinum sun.

“Ah, over there!!”

Above the clouds.

Something resembling a mannequin, a humanoid with only bare bones, was spinning around on the clouds.

A being without a single coat of clothing, a human being with no sense of magical power.

Churrr.

A hand of ice stretched towards the being and caught it as it fell from the sky.

While everyone is nervous.

The touch of ice was not absorbed.

As if he could no longer absorb other people’s mana.

Maniter’s reaction.

has disappeared.

* * *

[A demon that absorbs mana. It is the worst enemy of a person with special abilities.]

I walked towards Ymir, the platinum sun who had thrown herself onto the bed, and patted her on the back.

[But your magic power is different. Even if the Maniter absorbs the mana of all the magical powers in the world, it cannot absorb only four mana.]

It’s natural.

Because Ymir’s mana has the power to purify demons.

‘It’s the same principle as using healing on undead to use damage skills.’

In reality, the devil is purified and becomes Zenroth.

“…Teacher.”

Ymir turned towards me and smiled, drawing a V shape under his chin with his hand.

“Looks like I did a great job. Is there any reward?”

[What should I do?]

“What can I do for you?”

Ymir stretched out his hand toward my mask.

“Knowing.”

Just like that, he grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me towards him.
