. Introduction to barrier science (2)

Twelve Palaces of the Zodiac.

It is a Secret Technique that reproduces the 12 constellations that can be said to be the essence of barrier company.

I haven't learned the 'lost language' yet, so it's just imitating the form... .

The majesty of Scorpio, who dyed the sky blue, was enough to make him forget about the Flame Infusion.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

uuung!

Countless lights flickered over the six planets.

Like bees, blue meteor showers from the sky began to ravage the area where the Wailing Witch was.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

The terrain changes.

kwaaang! kwaduduk!

Kie-ee!

Wow!

Its power was beyond imagination to the extent that even nearby monster stone statues were involved.

And the Wailing Witch in the middle of the storm had no choice but to receive that firepower with her bare body.

How long did the attack last like that?

When the meteor shower finally stopped, the condition inside the ruins was quite different.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh... My, my body. My body...!

Smoke billowed from his raged body.

To fit it and keep its shape.

It looks like he is living with osteoporosis, but he is surprisingly strong.

right then

Is that?

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

A black liquid was seen glistening and gushing around the witch's body.

black tears

You built up your self-esteem like that, so you couldn't help but live, didn't you?

The moment the last constellation exploded, the black tears must have offset the damage.

[The Wailing Witch activates her unique ability 'Black Tears'!]

kukukuku!

The ability to terrorize the raid a while ago has been recreated.

Ugh. I guess I'll have to show my power to you. There's no shame like this.

The worst ability to know what will happen just by touching it.

Obviously, direct contact with black tears is dangerous, no matter how stagnant you are.

'I was wearing that in the past, but I lost my temper and attacked the Dragon Lair naked.'

Hatchling hostage... No, there was a record of death while holding a solute and demonstrating.

There is also a record of kidnapping a saint, disguised as a witch, and then burned at the stake.

Other than that, he had to go through all sorts of odd things to deal with the black tears.

'But there was only one conclusion.'

When I played Tower of Trials, I used a method other than barriers, but the basic roots were connected.

That moment.

[The first part of the jousting barrier (魔想結界), a 'black wave' arises.]

kukuku kuk kuk!

A huge wave began to overflow.

In an instant, the constellations of the zodiac were dyed black.

Aww!

Keeek!

Red mouths and white teeth sprouted from the barrier's surface, and they let out a terrible scream.

Mutation proceeds due to black tears.

However, it was only for a short time.

Kick Kick Kick!

Hehehe! Let's eat. Let's eat.

The screams soon turned into laughter and soon turned into a desire for prey.

In addition, the unpleasant looking eyes between the teeth began to appear one by one.

Anyway, it's filthy ominous.

Even in the Tower of Trials, there will be only a few people who use such eerie abilities.

The eyes turned to this direction at the same time.

come.

The 'moon imprint' engraved on Jinhyuk's shoulder shone brightly.

The ancient runes have dizzyingly strengthened the defensive barrier.

Stupid! Didn't you see it a little while ago? It's not too early for that!

Aww!

The black cloud fog shattered the barrier made by Jinhyeok in one stroke.

The barriers that used to emit blue light were dyed black. New eyes and mouths screamed like crazy.

By the way.

The Wailing Witch, who was smiling of conversion, bit her lip slightly.

what?

Several of the barriers were uncontaminated.

Almost all of the defensive barriers were tainted, but some were still bluish and fiercely resisting.

It's impossible.

Because there was no way to stop the black tears.

'I guess there's one or two things that are out of control because I've been dealing with too much.'

Besides, it doesn't matter anyway.

The opponent is just rushing to block it with all his might.

Even that sloppy resistance will be over in a few moments.

I'm thinking of making you careless.

The Wailing Witch glanced at Jinhyuk.

'It's a face that never gives up. No, it's rather a face that seems to have a plan.'

How small variables lead to big results.

How much less was the opponent who had been playing tricks on and smashing the apostles he had made so far?

You must not be vigilant in the yard where even black tears have been drawn out in a corner.

Even these things may be the plates he designed.

'Maybe it's a plan to take away my barrier like I did a while ago.'

Black tears are three times more complex and faster than the existing mana, so even one won't happen, but the Wailing Witch was planning to prepare even one.

if so .

'I'll press it down with power. With just one shot.'

The Wailing Witch raked up mana little by little enough that Jinhyuk did not notice.

kwaaang!

kwaang!

Kiki Kiki!

Let's eat...! Let's eat. Let's eat!

Purple eyes and white teeth continued to gnaw at the barriers Jinhyuk had made.

The blue barriers were still precariously guarding the owner.

Even though it was just a matter of making a difference in life with a single sheet of paper, it still did not lose its light.

Furthermore.

It can be seen that the number of non-mutable barriers is increasing compared to before.

The prediction was not wrong.

Something is happening.

before it's too late have to get rid of it

as soon as.

now!

[Section 2 of the Jousting Barrier, 'Flower of Dreams' is activated!]

At Jinhyuk's feet.

Whoops!

The mana, which had been collected little by little so far, bloomed all at once.

The six black petals and the teeth sprouting from the petals . Its prey was large and sharp enough to swallow even a large species.

No matter what you planned, I had the upper hand. That's it!

The flower of daydreaming is the ability of the mind-type to hypnotize the target.

It was a special move that boasted the fastest and most powerful effect among the skills that can be unfolded with black tears.

The phrase 'different dimensions' probably exists for times like this.

But at that very moment.

creepy

A cold chill ran down his spine.

Jin-hyeok, who should be under hypnosis, is still smiling.

However, the reason for the chill was not simply that the opponent was not hypnotized.

gaze is directed downwards

At the witch's feet... Huge pupils and pure white teeth were visible.

No, that's absurd.

Another dreamy flower has just finished blooming.

How can this be... it can't be. It's the kind of thing where it's impossible to figure out the structure. Besides, it's stolen from me...

The Wailing Witch, who was talking, realized something.

If you stole the barrier... Why are there two dreamy flowers blooming here?

At the opponent's feet, the flowers he had made were still pouring mana to hypnotize them.

endure it casually. Making another flower... .

It's not just stealing.

Well, mana flowing in black tears. Are you saying that you have grasped it itself?

I've seen it through to the very bottom.

At those words, Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.

I didn't learn barriers and curses as high as you, and I'm not skilled enough to handle them perfectly. In fact, it's embarrassing to compare.

You have only led this fight to your advantage by getting out of the way and using your opponents and circumstances. He could never surpass the knowledge that the Wailing Witch had accumulated.

nevertheless. only one.

If there is any reason to be certain of victory, it is that you are not afraid to see and learn new things.

For 11 years, I have chosen to experiment rather than settle down.

I came to know naturally as I walked on a path that no one had gone before and enjoyed the process.

The destination at the end of each road and the shortest route to that destination.

Cute. You talk like you're a genius.

Gee. You completely misunderstood my story. If I was a genius, I would have succeeded in everything at once. Those guys are the ones who create a result of enthusiasm with one effort.

However, the effort was innumerable.

Enough to create tens of thousands of results with tens of thousands of efforts.

"Accidentally it happened because I got a job called barrier company by accident. If your job had been something else, it wouldn't be like this."

The Wailing Witch put a blood on her neck.

well .

Again, I think it's hard to agree with that.

"If you had chosen the job that was originally my main focus, you wouldn't have even made eye contact with me."

I chose barrier company for interest, but what if I try again with a job that climbed the tower in the past? Compensating for all the mistakes and weaknesses you made back then?

Long story short, my mouth hurts.

Without needing to make this long story, the witch's neck must have been wallowing on the ground long ago.

Have you ever chosen a different job? What does that mean?

The Wailing Witch asked, but Jinhyuk did not answer.

instead. He announced the end of the fight by lifting mana lightly.

Thank you for letting me start a new fight on my own. Thanks to that, I think I've been able to have a little more attachment to the barrier company.

The petals were gradually gathered toward one point.

My vision was getting darker and darker.

Come on, wait! Wait. Don't you want to know the truth about the barrier? If you spare me, you can take me to the Great Witch Society. I can tell you the truth about this world you never imagined!

The Wailing Witch reached out through the leaves.

The withered arm swung desperately.

I'm sorry, but I've been there too, but it doesn't matter.

Mouth completely closed.

kwaduk! kwaduduk!

Aaaaaah!

Red blood gushed out like a waterfall.

suffocating

Only one arm that was outstretched was left behind.

also .

jerk.

It was then that I heard footsteps.

It's not good for you as a Wailing Witch. Still, I had hopes, but it's really unfortunate.

Tristan, who was supposed to be dealing with the Dangun Guild, suddenly approached.

If you leave, the rest of the statues will collapse in an instant? No, it's only a matter of time since the witch is dead anyway.

Fufu. The witch is dead?

Tristan grinned.

Then he approached with his broken arm.

Because being a witch is quite tough. Look carefully. Even if there is only one arm left like this.

Kwok.

Tristan stepped on his arm.

OK.

aaah!

A sharp scream rang out.

You can be alive like this. Of course, it will take some time for your body to recover, but you can save your life anyway.

"Hey such a fucking demon! Why did you expose me, who was hiding so well!"

The Wailing Witch screamed madly.

I can't help but be angry at the actions of my allies that I can't understand.

However, Jinhyuk did not understand Tristan's behavior as well.

You... why did you betray the witch? You must have needed the witch's help to survive?

Hmm. To answer that question, I have to ask one thing first. What kind of place do you think this place is, Jinhyuk?

I don't like answering questions... but don't you just answer my questions?

Don't be fooled and think about it for a second.

Tristan laughed softly.

It's an ominous laugh again. For a moment, that bright smile makes me feel afraid.

The reason why this woman suddenly betrayed the Wailing Witch... The nature of the antichrist tomb and its conditions.

Clues and clues are combined.

" "

Jinhyuk's face changed.

It's a light question, but the answer to that question is by no means easy.

...the Holy Horse.

This place.

The tomb of the Antichrist.

It is a place where Demon Clan can be manifested.

You got it right.

mana exploded.
