Episode 355
Ep. 355
In the past, Blue had annihilated ordinary Trolls with a single punch using merely 10% of her power in the Instant Towers where Trolls roamed. The Abyss Troll ‘Hidukan’, a boss monster, required only 20% of her strength.
But something had changed during the time she spent apart from Ihyeon.
Now, what in the world had happened?
“F-Finger assassin!!!”
…At this very moment, she was stabbing the Duogsinis to death using only the straightened index fingers of both hands, piercing through them one after another.
While Elsie and the Knights beside her made a tremendous fuss, even Ihyeon, Jia, and the Vice Captain stood with their mouths agape, unable to believe their own eyes.
Blue didn’t move from her position.
Since enemies kept pouring in endlessly anyway, she simply stood still and swung both arms at incredible speed.
Occasionally, when evading attacks, she used only her upper body.
Perhaps because of this.
Even while surrounded by the grotesque Duogsinis and Saedos, Blue’s combat was paradoxically breathtakingly elegant.
It resembled not merely a clash between allies and enemies, good and evil, but rather a confrontation between beauty and ugliness.
No matter how many Duogsinis swarmed forward, she seemed as though she would never falter—such was her unwavering strength.
Finally, the Lawkeeper who had been watching this spectacle let out a furious roar.
“These worthless maggots! Not a single one of you can even lay a finger on the enemy who crushed my brother’s head!!”
“Enemy of your brother?”
A reaction came from Ihyeon’s camp at the Lawkeeper’s words.
The Lawkeeper was clearly twin brothers—two beings forming the Right and Left.
“Since the Right Hobeob is the older brother, that must be him, and if so, the Left Hobeob is…!”
The Vice Captain paused in thought, then suddenly widened her eyes in shock.
The Left Hobeob, who could be called the military force of the cult, was dead?
And by Blue’s hand?
Ihyeon chuckled softly.
“That Golem really does her job well.”
Now it all made sense—why the Lawkeeper had brought such overwhelming forces and pushed Ihyeon to the background.
She had come to this rocky mountain to claim vengeance for her brother’s death.
Meanwhile, upon hearing those words, Blue—
Fwooooosh——!!!
Unleashed the skill embedded in her Night-Light Tunic, Starlight Downpour, sweeping away all the Duogsinis and Saedos in the vicinity.
‘W-Wow, when that one shows up, the genre really does shift.’
It was a science-fiction style battle rarely seen in the Tower.
“Uuuu….”
Kiiiii….
While the Duogsinis and Saedos, whose nature was to rampage without reason, grew intimidated and didn’t dare attack Blue—
“Cowardly ambusher! If my brother had faced you properly, he would never have lost! What are you all doing! Attack again!”
Blue leaped onto a tall rock and spoke to the Lawkeeper.
“Beep beep beep.”
That characteristic sound remained unchanged.
“To be precise, while I did attack the Left Hobeob during his rest, he was already aware of my presence, and considering his overall capabilities, I judge he had sufficient time to prepare. An ambush would be an inaccurate description.”
“Iii-iii-iii…!!!!”
True to the Golem’s nature of making no qualitative judgments, he had left the Right Hobeob speechless.
‘Is he going to burst like that?’
Even to Ihyeon’s eyes, the Right Hobeob’s condition looked quite severe.
There was what he’d suffered at Elsie’s hands earlier, and despite never having actually fought, internal injuries seemed to be accumulating within him.
The Lawkeeper’s entire body flushed crimson as he trembled violently for a moment.
“I suppose that’s true.”
“???”
“Should I really be accepting that?”
“How would I know.”
“Is he actually a good person?”
He accepted Blue’s words rather anticlimactically.
Of course, that didn’t mean he was about to say something like, ‘It was a fair fight, so my revenge is complete. Let’s go home.’
“So what of it! You are the High Priest’s enemy regardless! I shall strike you down myself!”
Crash—!!
The Lawkeeper began bounding up the rocky mountain astride the Great Tiger.
The Great Tiger’s footfalls were so powerful that wherever its feet touched, deafening booms erupted and solid rocks shattered.
Certainly, the strength befitting a retainer of the High Priest.
Blue, watching the scene unfold, spoke to Ihyeon.
…To reiterate, despite the distance between Ihyeon and Blue being too great for normal conversation, his voice reached Ihyeon’s ears clearly.
“Beep-beep-beep. I recommend releasing the Right Hobeob’s 70% limiter. Will you authorize limiter release and entry into optimized combat mode?”
“?!”
Ihyeon was startled by Blue’s words.
“He didn’t even shout, so how is his voice reaching me here, Master?!”
That wasn’t what Elsie was saying.
“My Lord, it seems the Right Hobeob is stronger than expected.”
That wasn’t what the Vice Captain was saying either.
“Were you surprised that Blue suggested a limiter release, Master?”
“Of course it’s Jia.”
“Tsk-tsk-tsk!”
To request a limiter release the moment they reunited.
But his anticipation was as great as his surprise.
Blue had captured a Named Abyss Troll in one breath with merely 20%, so what kind of power would 70% unleash?
Since the Lawkeeper was already bounding up the rocky mountain, there was no time for deliberation.
Ihyeon nodded with a fierce smile.
“Do as you wish.”
“Beep-beep-beep. Limiter Stage 1 released. Entering optimized combat mode.”
“What in the world is he babbling about!!!!”
Roooaarrr——!!
As Ihyeon and Blue exchanged words, the Lawkeeper let out another furious roar, unwilling to endure Blue’s serene voice any longer, and launched himself skyward in a tremendous leap.
He had already cleared the midpoint of the rocky mountain.
That colossal jump was aimed directly at Blue.
The Great Tiger’s massive foreleg and the Lawkeeper’s even more enormous iron mace swung toward Blue from both sides.
It was a vertiginous moment—Blue appeared so fragile compared to those devastating weapons that it seemed he would accept a fatal blow.
But.
Whoooooosh————!!!!
“?!?!?!!!?!”
————!!!
The situation did not unfold as the Lawkeeper anticipated or as everyone feared.
The sound was too tremendous to even be called an explosion.
In an instant, a scorching windstorm swept through the surroundings, and a detonation carved an entire crater into the rocky mountain.
“Cough! What—ugh, ugh! Aaaahhhhh!!!!!”
The Lawkeeper and the Great Tiger, who had been descending in an arc toward Blue, could not withstand the searing wind and the shockwave of the explosion, staggering in midair before being hurled backward instead.
The fact that they were left in such a pathetic state was merely a bonus to being caught by the wind.
‘Even at 70%, he seems far stronger than before….’
That tremendous power far exceeded even my expectations.
I already knew Blue’s destructive capacity well, but I hadn’t anticipated it would be to this degree.
Yet this vast change in ability was not without explanation.
Ihyeon and Blue were connected at the soul level.
While not to the same extent as my growth, Blue too could transcend the limitations of a Golem classified as an item and continue to grow.
Since parting with Blue, how many levels had I gained, and how much new stat increase had I obtained?
If all that growth had accumulated steadily, it was only natural to understand.
“Lawkeeper!”
“That monster!”
The shock delivered by Blue after removing his limiter was not limited to Ihyeon alone—the cult felt it equally.
They could never have imagined that their most powerful weapon would be pushed back like this, unable to properly exert its strength even once.
But this was not the time for them to remain complacent.
Whoooosh———
“Gaaahhh!!!”
Crack—!
“Run away!!!”
That previous explosion had been merely the effect of Blue releasing his limiter.
Immediately after, Blue kicked off and charged toward the Lawkeeper, who had not yet regained his senses.
The Saedos and Duogsinis blocking that path met an end that could only be described as vaporization.
‘In the midst of it all, sweeping away the surrounding enemies with Starlight Downpour as well… it’s like watching a supercomputer at work. Ah, but since he’s a Golem, I suppose it’s somewhat similar.’
Though only a moment had passed, the charge proceeded with perfect combat that only a Golem could execute.
“This damnable…! I will not die!!!”
In the end, he cleared away all obstacles and reached right before the Lawkeeper’s face.
The Lawkeeper showed no intention of yielding easily either, instead kicking off the Great Tiger’s back and leaping upward, swinging his iron mace with fierce momentum.
A clash of titans—strength against strength.
The collision of fist and mace, where no one could easily predict a victor, was
Clang—clang—clang———
The moment they truly connected, sparks flew and a bone-chilling sound erupted as they entered a brief stalemate.
Boom—!
“Gah!”
“No, Lawkeeper!”
“My, my body…!”
When fist and mace collided, the shockwave radiating from that impact dealt severe damage to the surrounding Saedos and Duogsinis.
Rumble—!
“Wh, what’s happening to the ground?!”
“Th, this far….”
The force even reached where Ihyeon and the Knights stood.
But precisely because two such overwhelming forces collided, paradoxically that stalemate
Boom———!!!
didn’t last long.
“Lawkeeeeeeeper!!!!”
“Th, this can’t be!”
“W, we have to run!!!”
The outcome was exactly as I had predicted.
Blue’s fist seemed to pause for a moment, but then it shattered the Lawkeeper’s mace to pieces and resumed its advance.
“This crazy bastard—”
Those were the final words of the Lawkeeper, who had lived in glory at the High Priest’s side.
Before he could even finish his last words, Blue’s fist that had destroyed the mace crushed his head as well.
With the leader dead in a single exchange, the remaining minions had no future.
The Saedos and Duogsinis, descending into panic beyond mere confusion, completely collapsed from within and began fleeing in all directions.
After all, they were creatures driven by survival instinct alone—once their controller disappeared, they became no different from wild beasts.
But that didn’t mean many of them succeeded in escaping.
“Issue orders to all forces! Eliminate every last one of them!”
“Yes!”
The expedition force was already surrounding the rocky mountain.
Wherever they fled, they invariably ran into the encirclement and perished.
It could hardly be called a war.
It was, in essence, a hunt.
‘There’s no need for me to step in.’
Against an opponent like the Lawkeeper, perhaps—but since Blue had already killed even him in a single strike, it wasn’t cost-effective for me to deal with the remaining rabble.
“Let’s move on.”
“I shall follow.”
“That Golem Fox has become incredibly strong since I last saw her. At this rate, my position is in danger….”
‘What is she muttering about to herself now?’
Instead, I headed toward the rocky mountain where Blue was, bringing my retainers with me.
Along the way, there were still rampaging Saedos and Duogsinis, but there was no need to worry.
Scrape—! Scrape—!
“Where do you think you’re going!”
“This person is none other than Ihyeon himself!”
“That’s so accurate I have nothing to say….”
The Knights and Nomadic Warriors escorting me handled everything so skillfully on their own.
Those creatures that occasionally burst from the ground and appeared directly in front of me.
Purung—! Screech—!
Purung simply kicked them or rammed them with his horns full head and disposed of them.
It wasn’t long before I arrived at the middle of the rocky mountain, where Blue and the Lawkeeper’s corpse lay.
Roooaarrr——!!!
Blue was still facing off against the Great Demon Two-Eyed Sini before I could even defeat it.
“Beep beep. I recommend lowering that Duogsini’s output to 20%. Will you permit entry into automatic combat mode?”
“Hm? Wait a moment.”
Blue could have dealt with the Great Tiger right then and there, but it seemed to be waiting for my instructions.
The Great Demon Two-Eyed Sini appeared ferocious enough to bite and tear apart everything in sight, but I held Blue back for a moment.
Entities that had been excessively infested by the Earthweb or had been infested for a long time were difficult for me to handle.
‘That one seems manageable though.’
