Chapter 431 - Episode Seventy-Seven - Destroyer from Ancient Times Moebius (7)
After losing Babylon 8000, I decided to attack with the amount of Ortems I had.
I continued to use teleportation magic to keep the Ortems ready, and always had ten of them ready to attack.
The wreckage of the Ortems scattered around the area had already exceeded a hundred.
“Geez, you’re annoying! Release!”
Driven back by the Ortem, Moebius unleashed his seventh Wings of Destruction.
The black magic crystal blasted away, shattering the Ortems that had been clinging to Moebius.
I used the thick shield of the Hydeem Magimetal to block the shockwave of the Wings of Destruction.
The temple was collapsing, and the sky was finally beginning to show.
The temple couldn’t hold before I or Moebius ran out of magic power.
…… The King of the High Elves, Olviga, who will be watching from outside, will be annoyed later.
I’m also making improvements to the Hydeem Magimetal during battle.
I analyzed the properties of Moebius’s black magic crystals and rebuilt them to be more resistant.
…… This may seem like a good defense, but Moebius’ attacks are so powerful that it can be difficult to keep up with them.
I can increase its sturdiness by increasing its mass, but this will reduce the resources available for attacks, as well as the agility of the hydeem Magimetal mass’s auto-action.
“We’re not done yet! Carry!”
I summoned twelve more Ortems with teleportation magic and sent them towards Moebius.
I knew that Moebius’ Wings of Destruction had an interval.
If I launched an onslaught now, Moebius would not be able to use the Wings of Destruction’s range of attacks to escape.
Moebius kicked away the incoming Ortem and used the recoil to shake off the Ortem and approach me.
Moebius swung her arm as she flew through the air.
“I’m afraid I’ve been playing around too much. It seems that you can’t be broken just by showing you the difference in our strength. I’ll tear you limb from limb and play with you!”
Twenty magic circles appeared in the air.
But I knew that Moebius was going to use magic at this point.
I’ve seen this magic once. It’s just that there are so many of them that there are gaps in the control of each one.
“Darkness, form, ball”
“Now! Magic Induced Explosion!”
I chant over Moebius’ chant and interfere with his magic circle.
One of the magic circles distorts and loses its light.
The other magic circles affected by that magic circle will also have their formulas distorted.
The magic power of Moebius, which has nowhere else to go, creates a storm.
“Guh!”
Moebius was repelled by the storm and slammed against the wall.
And then the Ortem and the others went towards her.
I waved my wan and sent Hydeem Magimetal towards Moebius.
“Don’t you understand …… that it’s useless!”
Moebius punches away the Ortem and hits the Hydeem Magimetal mass.
It was a good attack that reduced the number of Ortems in one move and stopped the Hydeem Magimetal from moving.
However, it was a large swinging blow that left an opening.
“Tail of the magic dragon!”
From Moebius, a tail of shining blue magic crystal extended.
It’s about three meters long.
In a flash, it stretched out and circled around her, cleaving the Ortems in the process.
The Ortems are being blown away effortlessly.
…… “Nightmare Claws” that specialize in melee attacks, the “wings of destruction” that provide all-round protection and indiscriminate ranged attacks, and the “tail of the demon dragon” that is fast and has reach.
It’s well balanced.
“…… Originally, this technique was designed for endurance fighting, but …… I never thought I’d be able to use this tail against a human. You should be honored.”
Moebius said with a twisted expression on her face.
“…… Don’t tell me, you don’t have much magic power left in you? If that’s the case, there’s no need to force yourself to shake Abel-chan, you know. Just kill him quickly.”
Moebius frowned at Shame’s words, as if annoyed.
“Don’t be a fool, I still have a lot of magic power …… I was more exhausted than I thought I would be, but that’s not because he was strong, it’s just that he was more stubborn than I thought. So shut up and just watch me, Shame.”
Shame was looking at Moebius, but she shifted his gaze to me.
“Abel-chan …… you can still get up, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to give up, it just means you’re dumb, you know. I know you’re not calm, but I have no idea what you want to do, okay? You already know that Abel-chan’s magic can’t drive Moebius out of Mea-chan, nor catch him in the first place, right?”
It was Shame’s question again.
I was thinking of making a pose with the same kind of rebuttal as last time, but this time I decided not to say anything back.
…… I think Shame’s words were probably because she was frustrated that I wasn’t moving the way she wanted me to, but …… she also seemed to be wondering just a little bit about my condition.
I thought I could fool them, but I spoke too much out of character.
You’ve been watching me very intently, and if I say anything more, there’s a chance they’ll find out.
“Fufu …… I think he’s being stubborn. But even that will cool down a little once you know the pain.”
Moebius licked his magic crystal gloves.
“Carry”
I waved my wand and deployed twelve magic circles.
An equal number of Ortems appeared.
I don’t know how many times I’ve used the teleportation magic on an Ortem in this battle.
“So you don’t have any other choice …… That’s not very clever.”
Moebius’ crystalline tail struck the floor.
The crumbled stone rubble splashes up like a water spray.
It’s not as powerful as the claw, but it’s considerably strong.
“Hmm, since Shame is in a hurry …… I think it’s time to finish this in earnest.”
I’m glad to hear that the other party is willing to do the same.
I’m just about ready to go.
As Shame fears, Moebius is showing some signs of exhaustion.
She’s trying to be tough, but it’s obvious.
I wanted to tire him out a bit more, but …… if I let her linger any longer, Shame will interfere, as expected.
…… Before that happens, let me give Moebius a good beating.
