Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 107
EP.107 Beasts, Beast Kings, Humans – 3
In front of Lieutenant Colonel Callis Kritz’s eyes, a decisive battle was unfolding in which the heavens and the earth vibrated.
The King of Dogs and the King of Cats.
It was a battle that decided the fate of the world. Even if it wasn’t like that, it was the same from Kalis’ point of view.
Her fate is at stake in the outcome of this fight.
A rattling leash pulled her. Callis instinctively threw herself. Even so, Kalys couldn’t keep up with the speed of the chain pulling, so she had to roll unsightly on the ground.
Even as she suffered from the chains strangling her neck, Callis repeated only one thing.
‘I can’t give up on life. i will live I’ll survive somehow Survive… climb to the top… inherit your father’s legacy…’
But can you do it?
A little while ago, the government of the founder was pierced into the chest of a glowing butterfly.
It was too lethal for a mere punch.
The moment his clenched fist touched the butterfly’s chest, he heard the sound of something breaking. Where the fists collided, red blood exploded like the sun.
After that, the butterfly bounced off like a bullet. I crossed the hallway without even moving my arms and legs.
If the butterfly was an ordinary creature, the moment it was hit, the heart would sink and the breath would stop.
However, the opponent is the king of cats.
The flying butterfly opened its red eyes and let out a roar. Even in the middle of the flight, he flipped over like a stunt and landed on the wall.
hid in the dark
The cat that hid its presence was no different from disappearing from the world in an instant. No one saw and no one heard. The only time a butterfly exists in the world is when it reveals itself.
Because of that, Shijo and Aji were extremely on the defensive. Because they each had one shackle.
Shijo is a laborer…? To protect the unknown.
And the dog king was protecting Kalis. To be precise, to keep Khalis from dying in the aftermath of the fight.
‘The dog king… is trying to save me. Maybe even more than myself.’
If so, she sat holding the dog king by the ankle. On a leash, with her own life hostage.
It was so ridiculous that it made me laugh out loud, but Callis couldn’t help it either.
‘If I resist here… what will change?’
Resistance here? What if the cat king is defeated?
Those in Tantalus are criminals caught and thrown by the military. The only thing to be gained by siding with them is a bleak future.
Instead, if the king of cats wins and the lord of all things achieves its goal. What will Calis get… what
will she get…
what?
The thumb of Rash’s right hand suddenly came into view in front of Kalis’s troubled eyes. Callis reflexively approached to grab it.
Chunk.
A heavy chain around her neck pulled her.
‘…chain.’
Only the chains that had ever pulled her, strangled her, and tried to kill her.
It was the only thing she had obtained by following the lord of all things.
A medal that was once proudly displayed but was useless in the end.
The suicide packet that was wearing the mask of hope.
It’s an order, and the chain around his neck.
The cat’s royal road.
Everyone was just trying to kill her.
On the other hand, Rashi and Aji, who tried to save her, are now in a miserable state and are rolling on the ground. Instead of Khalis, he is bleeding to keep her alive.
Khalis quietly repeated what Rash had said.
‘…My father’s legacy is me.’
She must have been a precious daughter to her father, but Callis was not precious to anyone.
He became a lieutenant colonel, but he knew nothing.
What the lord of all things plans and who wrote in discard words.
Although she is a lieutenant colonel in the military, she is no different from a 1st level citizen. No, he was more insignificant than a level 0 laborer. At least that laborer…? was even prepared to strangle the colonel.
…I don’t know if he’s really a level 0 laborer.
Similarly, for Khalis to live right now, only one proposition had to be followed.
“You have to break the chains.”
There is no need to think later. Callis is an insignificant human being that even the lieutenant colonel deserves. Talking about the future or prospects is a futile effort to read the waves while watching the storm raging in the night sea.
Such things are the exclusive property of those who have the ability to do so.
Because the present Kalis could not even be guaranteed a future one second ahead.
I had to do my best to survive moment by moment.
“Even from now on.”
Callis grabbed the belt.
no more packages The trumpet bestowed upon her by the lord of creation has long since disappeared. Instead, all that was left of her was the trivial memories that remained deep inside.
A legacy passed down from her father.
A house, an automobile, a sword with gold leaf, and an armour.
Among them, the only legacy that can be carried… the coat of arms. It is hidden deep in the belt pocket.
The reason why Khalis had a belt with pockets was to always be with the commander.
It’s not that great, it’s old, and it’s only a part of the left arm, so it wasn’t recognized as a military commander by the military and was abandoned.
Thanks to this, it became a legacy and was the only weapon in the hands of Kalis.
“Call to Arms.”
Singing softly, Calis inserted the military equipment packet into the biometric device on her left arm. Right after that, the alchemy light emits light, and all the compressed steel is released.
An officer is completed with a military commander.
Gunguk is a country with a short history of only 25 years since the establishment of the military government.
The reason why the military state that overthrew the monarchy through a coup d’état and occupied the position was able to solidify its position among the neighboring countries by grafting all kinds of technologies to rapidly expand its military power.
clap clap clap.
Sleek gauntlets of metal scales sprung up, covering Khalis’ elbows to her fingertips. After completing the installation, Calis clenched her left fist. There was a harsh sound of metal rubbing against each other.
This commander’s ability is simple. protection of the body.
It’s just an insignificant military commander that’s just a pair of high-performance gloves.
Callis did not disappoint. Tools are up to the user. Even with a better coat of arms, Khalis would not be able to properly draw out her power.
However, this commander who has been with her for half a lifetime would surely fulfill her will.
Callis believed it and grabbed the lock that held the chain.
The chain is a level 4 alchemy steel. Kalis’ ability can never be cut off.
But a lock with a chain is not like that.
Lieutenant General Ebon, who thought Callis was dead, planned to put this chain around the colonel’s neck, so the lock was just a lock to keep the chain from loosening. There was no reason to use valuable items.
Of course, it’s not like you can easily break the steel lock on the chain.
If you can dismantle it without necessarily breaking it.
Callis gripped the lock with her gauntlet-clad hand, and increased her body’s mana.
Military ritual magic.
“Set Li Li Li Li…”
Lieutenant Colonel Callis Creets of the Magician Corps.
Because of his uniqueness, he was selected by the Warrant Officer of all things in the Magician Army, made up of all officers.
Like all wizards, it is not very useful in small-scale battles, but the essence of ritual magic lies in its versatility.
The gauntlet wrapped in magical power heats up.
Body-mediated magic is an old-fashioned method of manifesting miracles using one’s own body as a medium.
It was a method often used by old wizards, but it was abandoned because there was a problem in that the recoil generated by overlaying the rules of the world was left on one’s own. ‘The stronger the wizard, the quicker he dies.’
However, after the military invented biometric terminals and clothing packets, some of the costs of the body could be passed on to packets through Aki Avatar. Ceremonial magic proudly became a branch of magic.
“…Li Li Rialke DK Mund.”
Mana gathered and the magic began.
Alchemy off corrosion cracks.
Simultaneously manifests three magics of 2 levels each.
Combining Magical Alchemy Substance Decomposition. The provisional evaluation is level 3.
The 3rd level magic that crumbles the alchemy substance that touched the body slowly eroded the lock.
When the lock was hot enough, Callis gripped the gauntlet.
Kwajik.
The cracked, brittle, disintegrated lock shattered in her fist. In return, the palms of the gauntlets she wore crumbled into powder. Part of the skin disintegrated in the rush to set it up, and blood flowed from the grip.
In any case, she was freed from the chains.
The chains became lighter. It feels like my throat has been pierced.
Feeling a refreshing sense of release, Khalis threw the chain around her neck.
“The Dog King!”
Khalis, completely freed, shouted at Aji.
“I am free! Now don’t mind me and fight!”
“bruise? bruise! Buff…”
Aji turned his head at the sound of the chain rattling and barked happily when he saw Callis free from the chain.
“…Chung! bruise!”
Callis felt a moment of dizziness, but then she regained her composure and shouted.
“Focus on the cat!”
“I know, bruise!”
A butterfly came out of the darkness. The dog king, who noticed by instinct, tried to defend himself while preparing for a counterattack.
But Aji’s right arm dangled from under his shoulder instead of rising. Aji wondered and looked down at his right arm.
“bruise? Crack!”
A butterfly rushed at Aji, who desperately twisted his body, like a beast. Aji hurriedly bowed down. While aiming for the head, the front foot missed and shattered the concrete wall like tofu. In the scattering dust, Aji rolled on the ground avoiding the butterflies.
The chains were removed, but the suffering was not over.
A chest voice that appears when one’s life is at stake.
When the only way to survive is to kill the enemy, the beast unleashes a full killing intent. I try to kill the ‘enemy’ by using all the abilities that exist with everything else removed.
At this moment, the king of cats was a beast with a will to kill, and he tried to eliminate the enemy in the best way.
“Keep keep keep!”
Aji, who had been hurt while protecting Kalis so far, was only beaten one-sidedly by butterflies that hit and run in the dark.
Shijo took a step forward to help Aji, but each time the butterfly hid in the dark. It was clearly a move to keep Sijo in check.
Shijo, unable to stay away from the laborer, stepped back again biting his lip.
Dogs can’t exert their savagery. Because all the scars are carried by wolves.
Sijo cannot move. A laborer who left his seat…? is in danger
The only one who could help Aji right now was Kalis.
And Callis had to help Aji.
even to survive.
“set.”
The gauntlet snapped. Callis raised up all her remaining magic power and uttered it clearly.
“Li li li li. Pyrenheit Selsey Kell.”
Install horsepower condensation condensation condensation condensation. and heat it up.
In an instant, Khalis wrapped 4 levels of condensed mana around his left arm.
What has manifested is overheating. The gauntlet glows red. The steel scales expanded by heat rise all at once, and red flames come and go between the gaps made of steel, as if breathing in flames.
Callis gritted her teeth in a pang of pain that seemed to burn her arms. At least the gauntlet was protecting the arm, but the heat that could not be blocked by the exposed palm penetrated. The blood was simmering.
Intense heat that destroys even one’s own body beyond military uniforms.
but can’t stop
It’s more a problem for Aji to fall than for his arm to burn.
Kalis applied magic to Arms, which was already swaying with magic.
“Set Arcus Lee Pascal…!”
Add water and compress wind. The heat gathered in the left hand greedily swallows the water. After compressing and compressing the screaming droplets to the end.
Just before the butterflies attack Aji.
released the power
“Steamstream!”
Violent steam was released.
A drop of water fell into the overheated steel. Boiling steam repells each other and bounces. Khalis gathered the power to the limit and fired it in a single point.
It is steam and water that has become wind.
Chiyiyi profit!
Steam billows violently. Along with the loud sound, the hot heat visualized in pure white erupts loudly with the momentum to overturn the world. Level 2 magic with its own attack power and usefulness.
It’s only a level 2 combat spell. If it were a real cat, but if it were the king, it would be a trivial feat that wouldn’t hurt a bit.
however.
“Haha!”
Surprised by the unexpected attack, the butterfly jumped and ran away.
If you surrender your body to the malevolent nature, you will forget reason and follow your instincts. To the king of cats, who hates neither water nor heat, hot steam is something indescribable.
Even if it is a trivial skill, magic is to twist and deceive the world. Callis drove the butterflies away with a spray of hot steam.
“Don’t come any closer!”
He let out a scream that was more like a plea, not an order, and sprayed steam around Aji.
Aji slammed the ground with his tail unsatisfactorily, as if Aji didn’t welcome the white steam, but Callis ignored it and stood by Aji.
“It’s a wounded body anyway. You can replace it like this! If time passes, the malevolence will subside!”
Calling out as if pledging to herself, Calis aimed in all directions while maintaining her magic.
A terrible silence engulfed the abyss. No one made a sound in vain. If the noise is mixed, you will miss the cat hiding in the dark.
When Khalis heard anything resembling a sound, he immediately let off steam. I don’t know if that was right or wrong. I just hoped to be of help.
Time passed so slowly.
Sweat drips down your hair. The heat that penetrated the body spreads throughout the body, and the whole body is drenched with sweat. Callis was on the verge of exhaustion and dehydration, and barely held on to magic.
In the meantime, Shijo raised the Black Knight and filled the darkness. If the King of Cats tries to ambush you in the dark, you’ll know right away.
Aji, who had been licking his wounds in succession, gained the energy to move his body again. Aji put both hands on the ground and crouched down as if to run straight ahead.
‘good. As long as it’s like this.’
live. Survive.
Although he would never return to the military once he rebelled against the lieutenant general. Although Kalis will never see what he left behind.
If only there was time left for her.
This time I will build better memories.
Perhaps he had listened to her wishes, and the thumb that Callis was holding twitched.
A premonition close to foresight came to Callis.
“I am here!”
I haven’t heard it in a while, but I already miss it. Callis’ expression brightened momentarily.
Rash the Undead. what a nice name
His presence, which never dies and always returns, was reassuring to Kalis.
With this, the number of allies increased by one. Increased chances of surviving the King of Cats.
And the future that Calis envisioned was one step closer.
To Calis, who calmed down for a while, feeling that a hopeful future was approaching.
“Avoid!”
When the laborer shouted, the reaction was delayed.
Poo-wook.
I felt an excruciating pain along with the sound of something being torn apart.
Callis tried to moan in pain, but even that didn’t work. Something gripped her body tightly and didn’t seem to let go.
The heat that had been swirling around her body escaped through her abdomen. Callis struggled to lower her head to see that it had dug into her stomach.
Three blades protruded from her abdomen.
Similar to what I’ve seen Three blades hung a finger apart.
It must have been the lieutenant general’s clo.
“The only traitor… is death. Don’t you know, Lieutenant Colonel?”
Lieutenant General Ebon, whose right arm was missing, whispered coldly to Khalis.
