Chapter 367
at that time.
the city stopped
At the same time, against the flow, one runs into the city. It is Peru who climbed Aurea. As she approaches, the collapsing city rattles as if caught on something.
Her ability has little effect on creatures. Especially if it’s a beast with strong energy like a horse. On top of the running Aurea, Peru drew the structure of the city with its head.
‘…The city’s rock has been turned to steel. power? twisted iron?’
Iron has resilience. If you hold both sides of the rebar and twist it like a twist, you will exert a strong force to return to its original state.
From the beginning, the golden mirror was used as a power to move the city by alchemy with ‘twisted iron’.
A person who has reached the realm of alchemy, Peru, who is a jannokhoeju. Although he couldn’t make it, he could roughly interpret the design of the golden mirror just by looking at it.
‘…Then power.’
collapse
The resilience of steel also disappears when its structure collapses. Peru’s power can’t make something that doesn’t exist, but it can eliminate what already exists.
So I didn’t use it and saved it, but now is the time to use it. Peru reached out to the image.
Objects made of metal can be melted down and reused. Even the recycled items are used, and when they become worn out, they are polished, melted down, and reborn as new items. The same goes for alchemy. If it’s worth the cost, I’ll rewrite it over and over again.
Peru was born in a poor family, and recycling a single item dozens of times was a daily routine. The tin doll, a treasure of Peru, was once a spoke, and once a crowbar, and has gone through dozens of transformations since then.
then.
How much more can it change?
A childlike curiosity led her. Peru used the alchemy she learned from her precious doll.
transform return change the material make it out of tin again. It moves. take a stance
Peru loved dolls and also liked alchemy. I had one and loved it and played with it until I grew up. Because it was precious, we were together even more.
However, both dolls and alchemy have their ends. Just as a human who fills his body with things outside of his body continues to grow old, a doll constantly exposed to magic that changes itself comes to an end at some point.
It doesn’t respond to alchemy, and the body can’t withstand its own weight and crumbles. The tin plate, full of impurities, became reddish as if it had rusted.
No matter how hard you try to get it back. Even if you pick up crumbs and try to form them.
It only advances the end of the doll.
At some point, the doll was completely finished.
end. one day everything will end Alchemy is perfect, but humans who handle it are imperfect.
No matter how great and wonderful magic is, as long as humans who use it have limits, alchemy has no choice but to face its limits.
Her unique magic is the infinite repetition of Alchemy. The end that can be reached by consecutively enslaved objects in a closed world. If alchemy is a journey given to an object, her ability is the final destination.
The End of Unique Magic Gold.
.
..
…
BAD.
Rusty iron cracks. The weakened structure cannot withstand the twisting force. It collapsed by its own power and shattered like pieces of glass.
The grip of the city has weakened. The clam that had been closed opens as if it had exhausted its strength. coogu palace. The collapsed city unfolds again. Those who tried to fall into the mouth of the golden mirror fell to the other side of the golden mirror. Those who survived a better fall risked their lives and ran out of the city.
The wall that blocked my way and the pillar that supported it. The moment it reached Peru’s ability, it collapsed like a sand castle and opened the way. Thanks to this, the seungnyangs came out like a flood. Even the homunculus cannot pursue it. If you do, you will be caught up in the power of Peru.
The rider of the end, who collapses everything, heads for Hwang Keum-gyeong with a short-lived horse.
At the end of the road made of jannok, the golden mirror glared at Peru.
A broken road appears in front of the golden mirror. Peru, who made a road with the power of Zannok, spurred on. As Aurea, who burned Peru, ran madly, she squeezed out her voice while shaking.
“…a golden wonder!”
Peru has no intention of antagonizing the Golden Guide until that moment. To put it bluntly, it was close to the attitude of loyal subjects who risked their lives to stop the king’s erroneous judgment.
The golden goblet is the god of alchemy. The true ruler of the nations who created the system called the nations.
Like it or not, he is the source, teacher, and god of all alchemists. The same goes for Peru, who has the ability to deny alchemy. Rather, because they loved alchemy so much, Peru, who had reached one peak, was more loyal to the Golden Book than others.
Peru shouted out loud in order to return the heart of the golden mirror.
“…Think again! They are not guilty…!”
-However, it does not reach the golden mirror.
The Golden Goblet recognized Peru, but only because Peru’s capabilities were threatening. To Hwang Geum-gyeong, who wants to create a golden country, Peru, which destroys the golden country, is the first priority to be excluded. Golden Kyung, who changed his target to Peru, wielded god-like power to kill only one person.
A huge structure rises in front of Peru, who was running towards the city. It was difficult to guess the use of the round and black steel structure. Even I don’t know what it is, so I can only be vigilant. Because I can’t read the golden mirror’s thoughts.
However… the beast’s sixth sense that still remains is telling of a sense of crisis.
That’s dangerous.
Peru used its ability toward the black sphere as well. The energy of jannok corrodes steel from the outside. However, the moment her ability touched it, the black surface swelled like an explosion as if in response.
“Dangerous!”
The regressor also hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late.
The black orb exploded. It is a power that cannot be compared with the authority of the zealot. A wave of pressure spread as far as the eye could see and vomited out what was inside. Inside the sphere were millions of sharp steel shards. Each one draws its own trajectory and plunges into the ground.
death spreads A rain of steel that causes blood on contact. 99.9% of the fragments are nothing but pounding the ground, but the remaining 0.1% alone is enough for the number of deaths. Even if Peru uses its ability, it dulls its sharpness a little, but it cannot stop its speed and weight.
Patter. The sound of heavy rain hitting the ground. Hit by the brutal raindrops, the human body exploded in one place. Huntsmen who try to escape the city are killed by shrapnel that rains down on their heads. Ordinary lives disappear like garbage in front of the Demon God.
It is a terrible tragedy. What’s even more terrifying is that even those countless deaths are merely incidental achievements to the golden mirror. The reason why the golden mirror poured out the rain of steel was to kill one Peruvian.
The rain of steel falls on Peru’s head with a density incomparable to anywhere else. It’s like water droplets falling from a popped water balloon. With no special equipment or equipment, there is no way to stop her. Frightened, Aurea hurriedly lifted her front paw… but what could that mean?
Shrapnel strikes down to kill Peru. at that time.
“bruise.”
Aji jumped like the wind. Aji, who had bristled his hair, caught the steel shards pouring down his face with his whole body.
Obviously, the steel shards are lethal enough to kill a human, but far from enough to injure Aji. Thanks to being on a horse, I was able to be safe even from pieces thrown up on the ground. Thanks to a fleeting moment of help, death escaped Peru.
Peru, who was fortunate enough to save his life, thanked Aji.
“…thank you.”
“…bruise.”
But Aji’s face was not good. As if out of their mind, they are still looking at the dead humans in the distance. It’s too stimulating a sight for a human-loving dog.
When Peru’s horse stopped for a moment, the regressor who jumped out landed in front of Peru and shouted.
“Jannok Hoeju! be careful! More to come!”
This was followed by the second attack of the golden mirror. The fallen fragments turned black, then crumbled and puffed up like smoke. The iron powder spread by the wind covered his vision in an instant.
The power of jannok is easy to break the structure, but difficult to put it back together. Even if you crush this fine powder, you can’t get it out. Judging by the fact that he only chooses difficult attacks against Peru, it seems that Golden Kyung is also very conscious of Peru.
“Are you going to cover your eyes? It must be iron powder!”
Even the seven-colored eyes cannot see through metal. While the regressor grumbled, I felt a vibration on the ground and shouted urgently.
“Something is coming, Mr. Shay!”
“know! Jigon-ryu fierce blow!”
Breaking through the iron storm, a large iron ball approaches. The regressor who reacted immediately knocked it off with Jizan. A crackling, metallic sound is heard, and a man-sized steel ball flies far away like a baseball.
The ground shakes for a moment, and the roar continues. The vibrations increase one by one and I can’t count them any more.
“Miss Shay! Hundreds rolling in?!”
“Chiit Golden Jing must have felt threatened! I don’t know if I’m trying to rule it out myself or not. Let’s prepare for a moment!”
If it was the golden gyeong who was role-playing in the golden palace, he would have just used the homunculus to attack. However, the current golden gyeong wields all the alchemy of the masters directly. Its scale and functionality are greater than all other hoeju combined. Thanks to Peru, many of them have become useless, otherwise something far more terrifying than fragments or iron balls would have come flying.
…what the hell did the regressor who went through that in the last round do? How did you live with it? ‘Cause I still don’t know
The regressor pulled Peru. But Peru held on to Aurea’s reins.
“…yet. A person over there.”
“Calm down Peru. Everyone who wants to run away has already run away. The rest are late.”
Those who still remain in the city are those who do not have the ability to escape. They are wild beasts left without a mount or with fatal injuries. There is nothing more we can do for them.
Peru also understood that with her head. However, he showed regret while not accepting it with his heart.
The mind is sublime, but that doesn’t work. I faced the cold reality.
“It’s okay to ram your head into the golden palace without a plan or ability. That’s Peruvian freedom. But remember this one thing.”
Countries that do not fit the words of belonging or loyalty. Few people want to save this imperfect country, and only Peru has the ability and will to save it.
In other words, when Peru dies, the nations are truly over. No one, not even a regressor, can stop the golden mirror.
“If Peru fails, a disaster hundreds of times greater than this will happen in Claudia. Calculate calmly.”
If you can put a price on things, you can put a price on your life. Peru, a nation of nations, made such a calculation naturally.
How precious are the lives of dozens of people already dead?
Or are tens of thousands of young children who know nothing and Claudia, who creates their foundation, precious?
nothing to see The latter. Claudia may not be all of the nations, but if Claudia is lost, the future of the nations will disappear. Peru lowered her head and turned the nose. Aurea, who shook her head up and down anxiously, gladly followed her master’s wishes.
Tyr enveloped us in darkness while the regressor looked after us. As soon as he escaped from the gaze of the golden mirror, the attacks subsided. After leaving enough distance, Hwang Geum-gyeong immersed herself in cleaning the city again as if she had never done that. Within minutes, all thoughts from the city were gone.
Even though there wasn’t much in the first place.
It was only after securing a safe distance from the golden mirror that he had time to take care of himself. Unlike Peru, Aji’s body was not completely covered, and Aurea was stabbed everywhere by steel shrapnel. Peru got off the saddle and stroked the injured Aurea.
Depending on the species, trained horses are not life threatening if they are stung by shrapnel. But no matter what, wounds are wounds. Power sprinting would be impossible. I looked over at Aurea and said.
“Even if there is no way to stop the golden mirror, there is no point in withdrawing from here. My horse is hurt, what should I do? Peru will need a living mount to reach the golden mirror…”
Should I ride Aji? You may have to try, but dogs won’t ride humans on their backs. As I was seriously thinking about it, Peru muttered.
“…golden.”
“yes?”
Peru put the lives of the hounds on one side of the scale, and Claudia’s life and death on the other. It is said that Hoeju deceives the eyes of the scale, but that is only a story limited to alchemy. Peru made a harsh choice and the scales tipped honestly.
But… just because the scale has tipped to the other side, the lighter side cannot disappear without a trace. The chosen Peru must bear the weight of the forsaken side. A king who kills others must nourish himself and his kingdom on the basis of their lives. No matter how disgusting and terrible it is.
That is the king’s responsibility.
Only God is free from responsibility. Because like the Golden Goblet, you can’t hold someone responsible for someone who has already died.
Peru chose. And to fulfill her duty, she found the possibility of blocking the Golden Sutra for those who died because of her choice.
It’s possible, of course, but it’s not perfect. It may fail. Despite its imperfections, Peru, which found a smidgen of possibility, demanded me with a firm determination.
“…If there is something golden. You can reach the golden mirror. Help me.”
to die with you for your country.
Of course I don’t want to die. I am a beast, and all men wished so. What kind of stupid beast would step into a limb with its own foot?
