EP.364 Strongest vs. Queen (2)
Even without the command entities, the Queen can recover quickly as long as she’s present.
However, the successive departures of the command entities are definitely…
A painful blow.
“To think they’d try to be equal to me just because I indulged their antics for a few hours!”
“Are you angry?”
“Just die already!”
The Queen glares with her Eye of Observation!
Seridwen doesn’t even try to dodge. However…
Her magical power wave cleanly defends against the Queen’s authority.
“What…”
“…Even an idiot would figure out the countermeasure after seeing the same technique this many times.”
Three hours, or four?
She’s been toying with the Queen for almost half a day, losing all track of time.
No matter how deadly the attack, if she couldn’t find a way to counter a repetitive attack pattern, Seridwen wouldn’t be called a genius.
But how many have died by the Queen’s eye because they couldn’t adapt?
The Queen can’t help but be surprised at Seridwen, who has created such a complex defense system in such a short time.
‘To block my authority automatically… what an impudent wench.’
Seridwen sighs.
She came thinking she could finish it, but her strategy is blocked here.
She can’t think of a way to suppress her while avoiding that Eye of Observation.
To break through the Queen’s defense system, a large-scale attack is essential, but to strike at the gap in her consciousness without the opponent noticing is too absurd…
Also, if the Queen wants to kill Seridwen, she has other methods to use…
At times like this, she desperately misses the command entities who turned their backs.
‘If only Eustia would come over…’
“Isn’t it because the Queen’s welfare was so poor that everyone abandoned their territories and left?”
“Insolent.”
“…I know the reason. Seeing this place makes it even clearer.”
“They are women who received my gift. They will definitely come back!”
How naive.
Seridwen smirks. There’s no way a command entity who has tasted Sanghyuk’s dick would go back.
“You’re too ignorant of the world. If you grew up in a place like this, all you would have to play with is mocking and deceiving others, Queen.”
“…You speak as if you know the owner of the transferred territory.”
“Of course, I know. He’s my boyfriend, after all.”
“……”
“……”
Tilted head.
The Queen asks with a face that says, ‘I don’t know. What is that? Scary…’
“You have a boyfriend with that strength? Don’t lie…”
“I told you I do!! Someone like me has a strong boyfriend who can handle me with, like, hand control!”
And for a queen, ‘Don’t lie’ is too cheap!
Your tone is too low-class.
‘Well, it’s foolish to expect etiquette from a cosmic invader.’
“What kind of honey-like territory is it that has entangled my carefully selected darlings like a silvervine [a plant that has a similar effect on cats as catnip] to a cat?”
“Isn’t it obvious which one is superior at this point?”
“……”
Numerous supermassive black hole bombardments.
Seridwen begins to throw feints with disaster-level attacks pouring down like breathing.
The Queen flew into the sky, circled in the air, stopped, and said.
“I don’t care about anyone but Eustia. Even if you combine those three, they are not as good as Eustia alone.”
“What makes you think you can bring down the Sword Saint, who has been full of integrity and chastity for over a decade, with your methods?”
“I’m almost there.”
Kugugugung!!
In the midst of the bombardment, the Queen opens her eyes.
Again, the location returns to the beginning.
Seridwen, who had prepared countless spears, launches them.
Kwagwagwagwak!!
Even if her whole body is pierced, she returns to the beginning.
The Queen nullified Seridwen’s attack with her Eye of Observation.
Seridwen had prepared a defense system to block even instant-death attacks, so she continued to pour in attacks almost without breathing.
“I acknowledge it. Your strength. But this is not my defeat.”
“Are you gritting your teeth and refusing to admit it?”
“My plan, which I have put in effort for over a decade, is about to bear fruit. Eustia! When Eustia comes to my side, those three will come back to my side too!”
The Queen, who nullifies attacks, and
Seridwen, who pours out endless attacks.
The balance of power between the two does not tilt and remains perfectly balanced.
It seemed that neither side would win. No matter how much time passed.
‘……I can’t see Eustia.’
Seridwen has no way of knowing how she is coaxing Eustia.
She gets a little cold sweat when she thinks that a brainwashed Eustia might appear and cooperate.
The Queen’s ability is an almost invincible authority if she has strong allies.
She can selectively choose and lead the game by affirming the observation only when our team’s tactics flow favorably and denying the observation when things go wrong.
If a brainwashed Sword Saint attacked in that way, even the great Seridwen might fall in a desolate field with no place to pick up her corpse.
‘The end of all hunters is a lonely death, should I have retired…’
Was it impossible without a team?
However, begging other Master Hunters in Korea to come was an impossible request from the start.
That’s because they are also busy fighting external gods armed with capricious and fraudulent powers and protecting their own people.
‘The only person who can help me at this point is…’
Chijik. Chik.
At that time, the S-class communicator reinforced with Mana Beast Steel was revived.
The coordinates got closer, and the connection was made.
“Evelyn!”
Director Eunseo’s voice, losing her composure, was heard.
“You don’t have to shout so loud, I can hear you well.”
“What on earth are you doing?! Suddenly risking your life in a final battle, and if, if your strength is not enough! Such a thing will not happen, but if, even if such a thing happens…”
“That’s what happened.”
“Ah……”
Eunseo sighed over the communicator.
“Sorry. I guess breaking through alone wasn’t the way to go.”
She honestly admits her mistake.
She didn’t know the opponent would be this strong.
This is also the first time Evelyn has faced a god with this level of power as a single entity.
“But I’m looking for a way.”
Whir, whoosh.
The Queen seems to have余裕 [leeway/余裕], dodging attacks here and there.
Seridwen poured out supermassive attacks like a shower, but the situation is not effective.
“……Is the opponent that strong?”
“Strong. If I had brought the Masterpiece, the situation would have been a little different….”
“Heh heh. Do you think you can find a way to attack this body by gathering mediocre people and discussing it? It’s impossible unless you stop time.”
‘It’s really pissing me off. That thing……’
“Evelyn. I have good news. A special task force is going there.”
“Sujin?”
“Yeah, and…. Kim Sanghyuk too.”
“……How?”
Seridwen was surprised at her own voice.
To think that she would make such a girlishly happy tone at the single word that Kim Sanghyuk is coming, she feels a little embarrassed.
In front of an old friend……
“I formed a team with the special task force and sent them, but a variability seems to have been manifested in the artificial gravitational wave. Their current location overlaps with your phase space.”
“Overlapping…?”
The Queen can listen to the conversation as much as she wants.
It doesn’t matter if you whisper.
It’s worth thinking about whether this information will be beneficial to the Queen or to Seridwen.
“Yeah, maybe they’re being pulled into the gravity hole Evelyn made……. Maybe you can meet them.”
“I don’t know if the opponent will allow it.”
The Queen of the Universe is alive with her eyes wide open.
In this territory, she will boast god-like interference power. There is no way to break through except by forcibly breaking through space.
And it is really impossible to have the attack power to interfere with space unless you hone your innate abilities to the extreme.
The personnel near Seridwen who can interfere with space that she can think of right now.
Isabella or the Sword Saint.
Isabella will be busy, so the only one left is the Sword Saint. She’s in danger of being brainwashed….
The black crystal begins to pour out Mana Beasts.
Monstrously huge Mana Beasts begin to suffocate Seridwen.
“My generals are away for a while, so it might be a bit boring for you.”
“Thanks for changing the pattern so I don’t get bored.”
I’m starting to get attached after fighting for a few hours.
“Why don’t you tell me more about your invisible boyfriend? That’s more fun.”
“Are you really going to die? I have a boyfriend!”
“You have a boyfriend~.”
Chaeng!!
Evelyn made all the Mana Beasts incapacitated with the collision sound caused by colliding the mass created with magic power.
Then, she drops the long stick that she had sent flying into the distant sky in a straight line, and strikes lightning like a divine punishment.
Kwaaaang!!
‘Did it work?’
“Hoo. So this stick is what you were secretly sending while talking?”
The Queen was smiling, holding the stick tightly and shaking it.
“Haa……”
“To think you would try to pinpoint and stab the top of my head, you are a truly uncute girl. That’s why you don’t have a boyfriend.”
“I~do~have~~~~~~~~!!”
“Ahaha!! I’m about to get an amazing SS-class Sword Saint soon!”
A slightly cheap conversation goes back and forth for a scene where a century-old fight is taking place with the fate of the territory on the line.
“Evelyn! You have to hold on…. There is hope!”
In the meantime, Director’s serious voice echoed through the communicator.
“Tell me anytime if it’s hard. I’m your friend before I’m the president……”
“It’s 당연한 거고 [of course]. How can a president be so 감수성이 풍부해서야 [emotional]?”
“But, you’re fighting the enemies alone……! If it were me…… I’d be scared….”
Scared?
It seems that such a sense was paralyzed a long time ago.
Ah, no.
I was scared when I was 『Personality Excreted』.
I could recall the fear, thinking, ‘I had such a feeling.’
‘Kim Sanghyuk……’
Even considering the boyfriend filter, his stats are S-class.
His magic power utilization is zero.
He’s still a baby who has just started spoon-feeding himself with physical enhancement by magic power.
For such a guy to tear through space and appear, like a prince on a white horse to help me…… Isn’t that too much of a fairy tale?
‘If that actually happens, I’m his slave for life.’
A slave of love.
Seridwen was certain that there would probably never be a man in her life who would give her that much stimulation again.
She hears the curse-like screams of the black monsters. Seridwen coolly countered and bounced them all off with magic power.
“I don’t really think about anything. I’m just doing it because I have to.”
“…Evelyn….”
Everyone thinks that I’m fighting these things while overcoming tremendous trials and fears.
So, I’m a little sorry to Eunseo, but I don’t get along well with ordinary hunters.
I can only match topics with Master Hunters.
And, Kim Sanghyuk…….
If the stage for you to come up fiercely is right here.
“I’ll set it up, even if I have to stay up for several nights……”
She makes the Queen’s nerves stand on end.
Seridwen combined all the means she could do with her own power and came up with 3083 tactics in an instant.
“Here I go. Queen!”
“Heh heh heh, ahaha! Well, it’s no fun just waiting. Go ahead and scatter my nerves. Do your best. The Sword Saint’s corruption is not far away!”
You’re like an annoying twintail 폭유 [busty] Queen.
I don’t like the fact that she has a pretty face that suits pigtails.
Sanghyuk might be tempted if he sees her! Damn it!
I got even more angry when I thought about it. Seridwen poured out words of curse like a battle cry.
“Make your chest a little smaller!! Don’t seduce my boyfriend’s eyes!”
“……E, Evelyn!?”
“Ah, I wasn’t talking to you.”
“……The conversation we’re having now… is all going out, so you have to be careful….”
Eunseo’s shy tone is the point.
Ah.
Now that will be officially recorded in Korea. Queen of the Universe = Big Chest….
“I’ll end the call here. I’m busy fighting!”
“Ah…… Okay. Good luck. Evelyn! The special task force will be there soon too. Don’t let go of the rope of hope!”
‘That’s right. You don’t fight while holding on to such a rope……’
Sigh. That’s it.
Evelyn just decided to focus on her work.
Rather than lengthening a long explanation to my friend’s kind heart and ruining the atmosphere, let’s just pretend it’s a desperate struggle and move on.
However, even if these attacks to distract the Queen’s nerves seem meaningless at first glance, the calculations are running fiercely.
‘……The biggest clue I can be sure of right now is that the Queen of the Universe is 과몰입ing [over-immersed/obsessed] on Eustia.’
What does that mean?
Eustia lives in another space that the Queen can observe at any time.
The phase coordinates will not be much different.
Unfortunately, I can’t use the method of indiscriminately stabbing at where the separated other space is.
The Queen is watching in real time.
There is a high possibility that I will only wander around somewhere I don’t know.
‘Sanghyuk will be the same……. There’s no way right now.’
Space X that the Queen has separated.
That’s the key.
There is no way to infiltrate that place where Eustia is right now.
Even if I infiltrate, there’s a problem. All sorts of rules will be enforced there to bind the Sword Saint.
So I can move relatively freely here.
‘Now is the fight for concentration.’
If I push her for days, there will be times when the return will malfunction even for a moment.
Now is the time to accumulate data……!!
