Chapter 268 - Episode Fifteen - The First Trial (3)
The five Ortems, led by the Asura 5000, came into contact with the nearest Din Eater.
One of the Din Eaters jumped at the upraised arm of the Ortem 5000 and bit it.
In the next instant, Asura 5000 slammed the Din Eaters to the ground with her own arm.
The floor cracked, and the Din Eater’s swollen belly caved in.
However, the Din Eater’s magic power is still alive.
The Din Eater’s eyes, which had been weakly closed, widened, and its mouth split open from side to side.
Instantly, the second arm of the Asura 5000 struck the Din Eater in the side of the face, forcing its grotesque mouth to close.
It seemed that he was planning to strike a surprise blow, but the precision and agility of the Asura 5000 left no room for error.
In front of the mechanical judgments of the Asura 5000’s responsive movements, there was no way he could be fooled.
I didn’t carve out such a lax technique.
The remaining five arms of the Asura 5000 each gave relentless pursuit to the Din-eaters’ gaping bodies, which had turned their eyes to the wall during the battle.
The first arm held the Din Eater’s body, the third and fourth arms struck it in the stomach, and the fifth and sixth arms unleashed sharp piercing blows.
The body of the Din Eater, which could no longer withstand the barrage of blows from multiple arms, was torn apart and split in two.
The Din Eater’s half-body trembles, and it tries to get up by thrusting its arms into the ground.
One of the normal Ortems leaps up and fires a ruthless stamp at its head.
Din Eater’s whole body convulsed as it fell to the floor from the neck up., the body collapsed and disappeared, as if it had run out of strength.
In the end, a faint glow, the residue of the spirit body, drifted behind.
The area fell silent.
The Din Eaters, who had been squealing and screaming, stopped talking and stopped in their tracks.
“…… Ku-, god Kudor’s servant, so easily.”
Peter watched the disappearing Din Eater in a daze.
“It seems to be quite strong, the skin of it.”
Even if you kill the demon, there is a way to keep its spirit body.
If we leave it behind, we’ll have some use for it.
The fourth of the remaining group of Din Eaters lit up with a red glow.
“Gijigiji Gijigiji!”
It shouted angrily and resumed its halted movements.
The Din Eaters jumped and formed a formation around Asura 5000 to control the four normal Ortems.
They are scattered on the left and right walls, on the ceiling, in front of it, and behind it, glaring at it with all four of their eyes, trying to catch it in the act.
One second.
The Din Eater, a spirit beast that is a servant of the mythical’s strongest Kudor, and the Asura 5000, which specializes in speed and destructive power through its meticulously crafted formulas, have been locked in a stalemate for far too long.
The Asura 5000 twitched its arms.
As if that was the signal, some of the Din Eaters jumped in front of the normal Ortem and swung their arms.
The other Din Eaters extended their elastic arms and hugged them, ensuring that their movements were suppressed.
There was a difference in numbers.
The other three were also held on to by the Din Eaters, though their circumstances were different, and they were unable to move quickly.
It seems that it is difficult for a normal Ortem to deal with being marked by two Din Eaters.
I thought of ways to improve the situation, but also increased my attention to the Din Eaters.
From the mouths of several Din Eaters, tongues of a poisonous color shot out and entangled themselves in the six arms of the Asura 5000.
The Din Eaters’ goal was the Asura 5000.
In order to do so, they may have blocked the movement of the four normal Ortems that were sticking around.
They were trying to reduce the number of moves we had to make with the minimum amount of force and capture our main force.
The other Din Eaters jumped at the blocked Asura 5000 from all sides.
“Worship me as the God!”
A thought wave is automatically released from Asura 5000.
The thought wave was part of a strategic response move to provoke and intimidate.
The eyes of the surrounding Din Eaters change.
It was too arrogant a command for a Din Eaters serving the god Kudor.
But it seemed to have an effect. The Din Eaters had a moment of opportunity.
The Asura 5000 forcefully and violently swung its six tongue-twined arms, struck the jumping Din Eaters in the head, sent it flying to the wall, and then struck the Din Eaters, which was pinned against the wall, with two arms in rapid succession.
The recoil of the swing will cause the Din Eaters to float in the air, and accurately extend its fist to hit them one after the other, and sometimes pierce their brains with its hand blade to finish them off.
The Din Eaters also jumped on the Asura 5000 one after another.
One of the Din Eaters succeeded in catching the Asura 5000 with its shoulders, holding its arms firmly with both hands as its tongue became entangled and slowed it down.
However, it was immediately lifted up and hit its back on the ceiling, followed by a swing up and down, which caused its body to hit the ground and the wall.
In the process, it also attacked the Din Eaters that normally hold the Ortems down, making them evade, and break the four Ortems out of their restraints.
The four Ortems attacked the Din Eaters that the Asura 5000 had flicked off, and made sure to finish them off.
Peter and Myunhi were watching the Asura 5000 warriors with their mouths wide open.
The statue of Kudor behind them was still slow.
This pace seems to be fine.
It’s a good thing that the other side is so eager to jump on us.
“It’s a little hard to look at, but …… I’m glad I didn’t scare me that badly.”
As I spoke, one of the Din Eaters’ eyes snapped up at me.
The next moment, their faces parted to the left and right, and their long tongues shot out.
The World Tree Ortem that was standing by in front of me immediately jumped up to catch it, rotated the base of its arm to pinch the tongue, and spun on the spot with great speed.
The lifted Din Eater was pulled from the tongue and headed for the World Tree Ortem, hitting the ceiling and floor alternately.
The World Tree Ortem kicked the approaching Din Eater backwards and sent it flying into the face of the Kudor statue.
The slow-moving tentacles of the statue of Kudor moved with agility and twisted around the abdomen and chest of the Din Eater, splitting it into three equal parts and throwing it backwards.
It was as easy as crushing and throwing an empty can.
In less than a minute, half of the fifty-two Din Eater were gone, along with the glow of their spirit bodies, and half of the remaining Din Eater had parts of their bodies cut off, making them unable to fight properly.
It looks like it’s about time.
I raise the wand I had lowered and point it forward.
I’m going to deploy a magic circle in front of me.
“Transmute”
I’m going to create a magic metal that I’ve been secretly developing for demon collecting.
It’s a Hydeem magimetal that breaks down and extracts components from the air and creates them from the spirits and my magic.
This is the strength of this magic, because it is held together by magic power, so it does not last long, but it can be made to have whatever properties you want depending on the application.
In front of me, I see a silvery metallic Ortem made of Hidim Magimetal.
I point my wand towards the end of the passage, and the Hydeem magimetal Ortem flies after the point of my wand.
One of the Din Eaters rolls it up with its tongue and slams it to the floor.
The impact caused the magimetal body of the Ortem to collapse and spread to the surroundings.
The true identity of that Ortem was a super-dense mass of Hydeem Magimetal.
It was heavy, but unstable, so when it received an impact, it spread out and covered the area at once.
The collapsed Hydeem Magimetal spread across the floor, filling the foothold where the Din Eaters and the Ortems were fighting.
As I pointed my wand, a large needle extended from the Hydeem magimetal.
There was no way for the weakened Din Eaters to avoid it, and I skewered them at every turn.
The remaining Din Eaters turned into specimens.
The body of the thrusted Din Eater is covered with a fine magic formula.
This Hydeem Magimetal has the effect of quickly sealing the corpses of demons and spirit beasts from returning and dispersing into countless spirit bodies.
