Chapter 296 - Episode Forty-Three - The Great God Kudor (17)

I looked up at the far height of Kudor’s huge body.

Its intricately entwined tentacles remind me of the roots of a giant tree.

This form, which Kudor called himself the “Type World Tree,” could no longer be dealt with in a straightforward manner.

Even if Levi’s spear is unleashed, she can still force the attack in front of the hitting strength of this enormous mass.

Zolomonia’s magic, which had been so focused on evasion, had been drained, In light of the fact that, despite her big words, she is fast running out of time, It was already obvious that if we continued to fight as before, we would eventually run out of steam and be trapped.

If that was the case, we had no choice but to take a chance.

I’m not a battle magician by nature.

I’m proud to say that I’m more of an alchemist who specializes in analysis and alchemy.

It was a mistake to stand out in the open and fight.

Zolomonia stood behind me and gently placed a hand along my back.

It is a magic of “Memory Copy” that transmits information directly to the other party.

I’ve never heard of a similar technique, so it’s probably a unique magic of hers, called the Great Demon of Wisdom and Ruin.

As a demon is originally a mass of spirits, simple magic can be reproduced as magic without the use of magic circles.

Within that magic, there are certain spells that only individual demons can handle. Hamelin’s propensity to manipulate demons is one of the unique magic.

The results of Kudor’s analysis flowed in through my small hands.

It’s true that Kudor is an artificial spirit, but …… once again, it’s a very large entity.

“How is it? Will this …… somehow might make it?”

Zolomonia called out to me.

“There’s a little …… problem with it, but I’d like to think it’s manageable.”

“Problem?”

I nodded vaguely.

The difficulty was that the accuracy of the information on the quadrille, the most important data brought by Zolomonia, was quite lax.

I knew that Zolomonia was fatigued, so I didn’t expect much, but the analysis results alone were full of things to ponder, and I thought, “There’s clearly a contradiction here and there, isn’t there? Didn’t you think that the interpretation of the artificial spirit’s constitutional formula was wrong and you didn’t want to reanalyze it from a different angle? Hmm? If I had believed in this and gone ahead with it, I would have ended right there, right?” is the feeling I had, wanting to complain, but I decided to keep my mouth shut since it wouldn’t do any good to say such a thing now.

“You’ve finally lost the will to resist, Marren.”

Kudor calls out to me, perhaps seeing that I’ve stopped and am thinking.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to engage in conversation.

In the meantime, while listening to the conversation, I sorted out the information I had received from Zolomonia in my head, and ran a magic circle in my brain to test it out and formulate a plan against Kudor.

“As soon as I found out that your magic was better than Yonahan’s, I was going to give in at the right place, but …… I never thought that I will use this much magic power against a human.”

Hm ……?

You make it sound like your goal was not to defeat me, but to get my surrender.

No way, from the way this goes ……

“I’m sure you’ll be able to reduce my magic even from here, if you make your last stand. Even for me, It is unbearable to lose any more magic power right after waking up. I was going to push you a little further, but I’m not going to. I’ll make a deal with you.”

“Deal ……?”

“A truce. I can stop messing with that woman. That thing is disturbing, but …… it hurts to lose another big piece of the puzzle for it.”

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I know that …… thing is a Mea.

Is the big piece me?

“If you want to make up for the pain you might have caused by missing out on that woman, you can do so. I won’t go into details. Make your decision here and now. If you want to ride …… drop the spear you hold in your cold demon metal hand. If you are only going to fight, then you can fire it at me. I’ll take that as your decision. After that, you can expect me to turn a deaf ear.”

This is an offer I never wished for.

I’m not sure what the odds are for me to go in there relying on a strange strategy.

It’s a strange strategy after all. It’s almost like suicide.

But …… there is also the danger of it being a trap.

Even if it’s a thousandth of a percent, it’s still a blow to Kudor to have her magic drained.

It’s too convenient for me to come to this point and simply settle.

A good story always comes with a trap.

Judging from Kudor’s words, he was expecting to be hit by a rat from the way I was acting.

Kudor’s magic power is not yet exhausted but her natural recovery is probably much lower than her total magic power.

In order to reduce the drain on her magic, she may be trying to discourage my will to fight and take me out safely when I’m defenseless.

While Levi’s spear can be brought to hand in a single action, if the Type World Tree Kudor unleashes her massive tentacles during that one action, I’ll be on the back foot and on the defensive.

If that happens, there will be no time to make a proper resistance, and I might lose my life.

However, the fact that Kudor still adheres to her original rule of “Not creating Din Eaters” shows her pride and self-esteem.

I’m not sure if Kudor would use a surprise attack on a lower-ranked opponent just to save on magic power.

In all likelihood, the odds of me winning in a fight are far lower than the odds of a trap.

If I think in terms of probability, there is nothing for me to gain by kicking the hand of reconciliation.

This was probably obvious to Kudor.

It was not conceited to think so.

It’s just the fact that logically speaking, it’s the only way I can survive.

But …… Is that really what I want?

“What are you confused about? No matter what you do from here on out, there’s nothing you can do about it. You have no choice but to obey.”

Zolomonia is rushing me from behind.

I nodded and lowered my wand.

Hydeem Magimetal’s arm points Levi’s spear downward.

I continue to wave my wand.

“Carry”

The magic circle appeared near Levi’s spear, and I chanted in the spirit language.

“Mmm?　What are you ……?”

The teleportation magic is activated.

My body moves over the tail end of the spear, which is positioned vertically downward.

I lose my balance and wobble a bit, but somehow I manage to adjust my stance.

“What are you doing, Marren?”

“Now I can’t throw the spear. If I throw it with all my strength, I’ll die before the one on top of me. Considering the nature of the spear, I thought this would be more reliable than dropping it.”

After I had gone that far, I raised my hands upward.

“I surrender. I’ll do whatever you say. So, please spare my life.”

I bowed my head deeply.

Kudor looked down at me quizzically from a great height.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary. Take the spear out of your hand. I said, I’ll take that as a signal to surrender. There will not be a second time. Or …… you’ll be troubled if you let go, and I might think that there some circumstances?”

It’s here, here it is.

I’ve got the upper hand in the bargaining game.

I guess she was careless. I thought that there was no way she would take my negotiation.

As a result, It turned out to be an opening.

“Yes, I understand ……”

I waved my wand.

The arm of the Hydeem Magimetal drops Levi’s spear, with me still on it, straight down to the surface of the sea.

Kudor’s face, high in the sky, seemed to relax for a moment.

Zolomonia, who was also looking at me anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, that’s it ……”

“The first problem was how to get as close to the main body as possible, so far up in the air.”

In order to teleport, the magic circle must be teleported to the teleportation coordinates beforehand.

Zolomonia’s teleportation wards are randomly scattered to the coordinates, but the flow of magic is always ahead, so you can never be caught off guard.

You can’t take them by surprise.

“What are you talking about?”

The premise for the activation of the “Fate Distortion” is the fact that you threw the spear.

The unwritten rule that even a distorted causality requires a beginning remains the same.

Even this almost free-falling passive throwing can satisfy that condition.

“Fate Distortion”

At the same time as I chanted, six magic circles lined up.

Six of them shine as one giant magic circle, twisting fate.

The landing point of Levi’s spear was rewritten from “the surface of the sea” to “the upper part of the Kudor’s World Tree”.

Levi’s spear, which had been sent into free fall from a low position, landed on a part of Kudor’s body far above, at the end of the rewritten causality.
