◈ Episode 205 Delica Kingdom (1)
Seeing the gun pointed at him, Victor let out a bizarre laugh.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. this is true You are a silent guest. Are you going to be a hitman?”
Rudger didn’t answer and pulled the trigger right away.
Phishung!
The magic bullet that came out of the muzzle aimed at Victor’s forehead and flew.
The magic bullets that were flying were blocked by the golden wall that rose up in front of Victor’s nose and disappeared.
‘what.’
Ludger narrowed his eyes in the shadows at the wall that suddenly appeared.
What used to be a wall changed its shape and soon turned into a round sphere.
From the outside, it was clearly metal.
However, it moved surprisingly flexibly, not befitting metal.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. Are you curious? This is one of my masterpieces.”
Victor opened his arms wide, showing his teeth at Ludger.
“It is my original Liquid Golem made by combining 「Alchemy」, 「Metal Transformation」, and all sorts of magic!”
Is that a golem?
Victor said it was a golem, but the way it crawled on the floor was no different from pure slime.
The moment I thought so, the body of the liquid golem trembled.
Let’s go!
Numerous tentacles fired at Rudgar.
Rudger immediately tumbled backwards and backed away.
A shower of golden spears pierced the spot where he had been standing a moment ago.
‘It’s fast and flexible. Are you fighting by freely changing your form? The fact that it moves like that even though the user didn’t give any instructions means that it’s an autonomous driving system.’
Rudger pointed his revolver at Victor as if to keep him in check.
Then, as if the liquid golem reacted to it, it built a wall around Victor.
It was as expected.
There is a chain of command to eliminate the owner’s enemies and protect the owner at the same time.
I was surprised to see something like that after only looking at the dull steam golem.
‘It is said that the science power of this world is quite different from when I lived, but as anyone can see, this is over-technology in today’s world.’
I couldn’t get a sense of how much science power Victor Dreadful had in creating such a thing.
However, considering the existence of Alfa and Betty, the abnormal development of science due to magic might be an unstoppable flow.
Rudger fired fire magic at the liquid golem as a check.
The 3rd tier magic [Rumbling flame].
A wave of flame that consumed everything collided head-on with the Liquid Golem.
“Even if you try to melt it, it is useless. It’s also heat-resistant!”
True to Victor’s words, the liquid golem was fine despite being hit by the heat from the front.
If you look closely, you can see that magic circuits glow fiercely along the surface.
Only then did it seem difficult to freeze.
‘Does it even have resistance to elements? Then I must use the standard method.’
If it was a golem, there would be a core core.
Piercing the golem’s heart with a mighty blow has been an old tradition for dealing with golems.
Rudger sensed the golem’s magical power.
Even in the countless circuits, the nuclear presence was vaguely felt.
but.
Rudger realized it would be difficult to nuke.
‘The position of the nucleus keeps changing.’
Unlike other golems’ cores, the liquid golem’s core kept moving.
It was only then that it seemed difficult to aim for that exact thing alone.
At that moment, shadows fell from the ceiling and landed on either side of Ludger.
thud! thud!
The moment his legs touched the ground, there was a loud noise and cracks cracked on the floor.
The two hooded beings swung their blades at Ludger.
A silvery light flashed in the air.
A very sudden surprise.
Ludger’s body was swallowed up by the shadows, and eventually appeared in a place a little away.
Rudger, who got his posture, was able to confirm the appearance of the guys who appeared from the ceiling.
‘Is it an automaton or an automaton?’
What fell from the ceiling was an automaton in human form.
It was not a perfect human figure, but more like a mannequin rolling by a mechanical spring.
These ivory-colored jointed dolls had long blades attached to each of their two arms.
“what? It was obviously an unavoidable attack, but did you avoid it?”
Just as Ludger analyzed Victor, Victor also carefully observed Ludger’s magic and behavior patterns.
Victor stroked his goatee-like chin.
“Certainly I couldn’t have just moved that distance. fast moving? no. There was no room to escape. Nullify physical attacks? It’s not like that. if?!”
Victor shouted, spitting in his mouth.
“All, you! Could it be that you jumped over space?!”
“… … .”
Ludger stared at Victor with a deep gaze.

I noticed this magic just by looking at it once.
‘Is it because it’s a brain related to science? His analytical skills and discernment are exceptional.’
This side didn’t even respond, but Victor exclaimed in an excited voice, as if he thought his idea was right.
“how! How did you do that?! Let me know too! Let me know!”
It was quite bizarre to see a middle-aged man shouting like a child screaming.
However, unlike the lightness of his actions, he had to be wary of his discernment of this side’s magic at once.
‘It’ll be annoying if I reveal my bottom line while wasting time like this.’
And the two newly introduced automatons were also formidable.
Even with that much weight falling from that height, it moved just fine.
‘A terrifying technology that goes beyond common sense. An eye that contradicts the appearance. And even the personality of perpetrating inhuman experiments casually.’
First Order Victor Dreadful.
He was a dangerous man.
‘So I’ll remove it from here.’
The shadows surrounding Rudger’s body burned like flames.
At the same time, his body disappeared as if melting into the shadows.
Is it because it has disappeared from sight?
The reaction of the automaton and liquid golem was momentary, but it stopped.
“what? Where else did you go?”
Ludger’s field of vision caught Victor’s back as he stupidly asked.
He appeared behind Victor’s back.
Ludger took out a sword stick from the shadows and aimed it at Victor’s heart.
The moment you try to stab your heart like this.
Suddenly, something bright red shot through Ludger’s side.
“… … .”
Ludgar gives up stabbing Victor in the heart and pulls his body back.
Otherwise, his waist would have been cut in two at once.
Ludgar backed away, and a new uninvited guest appeared between Victor and him.
“doctor. Where do you keep your eyes open?”
The newcomer was a man in black full-plate armor.
Over his shoulder was a greatsword like obsidian, and a red mane was flying over his helmet.
Although the appearance itself boasted a sense of intimidation and considerable coolness at the same time.
‘Armor in this day and age?’
In this era, both soldiers and knights were unified with uniforms instead of armor.
There is a special exoskeleton-reinforced armor, but it is mainly for industrial use and is not suitable for combat.
It was also the first time anyone had ever worn a suit of armor so openly.
‘Besides, that red slash just now.’
It was clear that it was the trail created by swinging the sword.
The sudden interruption and the light treatment of Victor Dreadful.
It didn’t feel right.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. Thanks for saving me. Night Berom! Thanks to you, I’m alive!”
“Noisy. It’s unpleasant. Why am I sticking around for someone like you?”
The man called Berom did not take his eyes off Ludger even as he grumbled in a formal tone.
A bloody aura overflowed from the black greatsword draped over his shoulder.
‘That guy. It’s the First Order.’
The new Black Knight, Berom.
Seeing how he treated Victor, it was said that Berom was also in the same position.
‘The First Order is two in one place, huh?’
Did they notice our attack and join hands?
no. no.
According to Victor, he did not expect an intruder to come.
Rather than being a deception towards this side, it would be more like the side that the two of them met by pure chance when they were walking together.
If I had to ask, I was out of luck.
‘I thought one of the First Orders might come, but I never thought of two.’
Moreover, judging by Berom’s behavior, he seemed to be a fairly close combat specialist.
Moreover, the bloody slash he used was not something that a normal knight could use, no matter how you look at it.
‘It’s not an auror. special ability or constitution. Or is there something else.’
What you just saw couldn’t be all of him.
information was lacking.
To fight with that in mind, the risk we had to endure was too great.
‘I can’t help it. Fighting any more than this is dangerous. I’m leaving here.’
Berom noticed that, and red eyes shone from the inside of the helmet.
“Are you trying to run away? To think of running away against me, I commend you for your courage.”
An old-fashioned way of speaking that doesn’t fit in today’s world.
However, contrary to his tone, his power was real.
A stream of blood began to form on the greatsword that Berom was holding with both hands.
Unlike the haze-like aura, it is a sharp swirling form.
It was fundamentally different from the aura used by knights.
It was fired in the shape of a crescent moon following the trajectory of Berom’s swinging his sword.
‘To the far distance?’
Rudger immediately jumped through the shadows and into space.
A red slash swept past the place where he had been standing a moment ago.
Seeing everything being swept away, the power alone was outstanding.
“He is fast and agile.”
Berom muttered that and swung his sword several more times.
Each time it did, a red crescent moon shot across space.
Quaggagak!
Steel structures were cut out. Severed and torn debris flew in all directions and collided.
Unable to withstand the power of the slash, the outer wall of the factory collapsed.
The factory, which had been precarious from the beginning, began to shake as if it would collapse.
“Ah! Night Berom! What are you doing! How many important facilities are here, are you planning on destroying them all?”
“Be quiet. It is not a place to be disposed of anyway.”
“Still, you have to take care of things! There are also some experimental data that we haven’t collected yet!”
“Experiment data? Are you referring to that bag that black guest is holding right now?”
“yes?”
At Berom’s point, Victor opened his eyes wide through the goggles and stared at Ludger.
Ludger appeared far beyond space.
A briefcase was in his hand.
“Hey, hey, hey! When was that?! Night Berom! We have to stop it! Those are experimental data like my own blood!”
“Why does the author have that important thing?”
“I don’t know! I kept it in the safe!”
“… … You said you robbed the safe and got the data in that short amount of time?”
As the eyes of the two First Orders turned in his direction, Rudgar decided he had to retreat quickly.
Berom then jumped out of his seat and ran towards Ludger.
“I won’t miss it!”
A greatsword wielded with the determination to catch it this time.
At that moment, a light exploded from within the shadow that enveloped Ludger’s body.
The light that exploded brightly illuminated the inside of the factory, and Berom, who thought he would avoid it again, had no choice but to cover his eyes with his hand.
“What is this!”
Cheer!
At the same time, his whole body sensed danger.
The black armor he was wearing trembled, warning that something was coming.
Berom stopped swinging his sword and drove it into the ground.
Then, a swirling bloody aura rose up and surrounded his body.
It was the same with Victor who sensed the crisis.
A liquid golem wrapped around his body like a cocoon, and two automatons stood guard in front of him.
────!!!
Right after that, pure white flames engulfed the surrounding area in an instant.
* * *
A place away from a factory that was engulfed in flames.
Rudger, who was standing on the roof of the building watching the scene, released the [Ater Nocturnus] that was wrapped around his body.
He immediately poured the magic potion he had prepared into his mouth, recalling the fight a while ago.
‘It would be nice if he died in an attack a while ago, but that would be too greedy.’
With the last bit of mana, Ludgar’s original magic, the Tree of the Sephirot, was activated.
Among them, the 8th sephiline was HOD.
Borrowing the power of Michael, the angel of fire, this is a high-powered magic that blows up the surrounding area by creating a huge flame storm along with light.
It was also the magic used to blow the entire factory away when dealing with the bug brothers in Ladervelk.
The sun-like flame that rises after the pure white brilliance erupts burns anyone on the opponent’s side.
However, this time it unfolded too quickly, so it did not come out even half of its original power.
‘Because they both noticed my attack at the end and went on defense.’
Considering the skills of the First Order, he couldn’t have dealt a meaningful blow.
It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t kill him, but I decided to step back because I had achieved my original goal.
Anyway, the opponent doesn’t know the identity of this side.
On the other hand, this side knew the information of one more person of the First Order, so there was an income from that alone.
‘And the result of this experiment.’
Rudger glanced over the experimental data he had brought with him.
While avoiding Berom’s slash, I entered the place where Moloch came out in the middle and took it out, but in fact, it was more like just picking it up.
Maybe I was lucky.
The materials he had gathered in a hurry were unexpectedly correct.
‘A report on human experiments to express the power of beasts in human genes.’
The cause of the werewolf crisis in Ledervelk.
It was a fact I already knew, so I wasn’t too surprised.
What mattered was the material that followed.
‘The development of special gunpowder that is not affected by the silence of fire.’
Knowing who was using the special gunpowder was a headache.
Although it was used by terrorists called the Liberation Army now.
Because something similar to this existed before.
‘Three years ago. A secret experiment being conducted in Delica Kingdom.’
Gunpowder unaffected by magic, and automaton units to create an iron legion.
The moment I saw the data obtained through today’s raid and the automaton Victor Dreadful was handling, the puzzle came together.
3 years ago.
That the Black Dawn was involved in what happened in Delica Kingdom.
