The Player Who Stands Above All

Chapter 215

Hah- Hah-

Crowley forcibly held on, using the buff potions he had prepared in advance like water.

Thanks to that, even though there were only three of them, they were somehow able to face Ziz and Leviathan at the same time.

No, to be precise, they were somehow able to endure.

They ignored common sense and somehow kept their balance and moved in the raging storm, persistently picking at the two's wounds.

ZIAAAAAAA-!!!

VIAAAAAAA-!!!

At that, the two became more and more fiercely angry and raised their power to kill the three.

At that, the three of them forcibly widened a small gap and moved their bodies.

They sprinted on a thin line where they would fall off a cliff if they made a wrong move, with the help of the potion's power.

Of course, it had been a long time since the stamina and mental strength of the three had revealed their limits.

"Light Sword, Wild Dance."

"Reversed Nature."

"FIRE."

Even in that worst situation, their attacks were becoming more and more sharp.

The talent that had been contained in a container and had only shown a fragment of itself because there was no stimulation, broke the container it was in with a huge stimulation and came out, filling their whole bodies.

The bodies of the three were clearly looking at their limits.

But on the contrary, their attacks became more and more sharp and picked at the two's wounds.

Simultaneously with falling into a state of selflessness, their talents overflowed and moved their bodies.

The numerous techniques that they had only vaguely grasped in their daily lives unfolded endlessly from their fingertips.

Kuuung--!!!

For a moment, the three of them clearly overwhelmed the two.

That battle situation was reversed with a sudden earthquake.

"Hah, I'm going crazy."

"Alice, did you do this too by any chance?"

"…I didn't know this would happen either."

Behemoth appeared, breaking through the storm that was raging with rain and shaking the ground.

BEHAAAAAA-!!!

Simultaneously with appearing where they were, Behemoth roared as if to announce its arrival and stomped its foot loudly.

A huge earthquake arose from the spot where Behemoth had stomped its foot, and the ground was overturned and split.

The ground shook and a huge vibration swept over them, but that was only a secondary target.

Kukwagwagwa--!!!

A large amount of water flooded in through the cracks in the split ground.

The ground had split all the way to the nearby sea, and the seawater had flowed in through the cracks.

VIAAAAAAAA-!!!

As the seawater flowed in through the ground, Leviathan's eyes flashed and it roared.

With Behemoth's single move, the three realized that their opinions were in agreement.

It's good to keep each other in check.

But before that, first, get rid of the annoying bugs that are in the way.

Although they were each a blood relative of a divine beast that had been passed down from the age of myth, they were still just immature young individuals.

Therefore, their anger towards the Ten Kings who had ruined their brilliant debut was already shaking their whole bodies.

Of course, behind their anger, the desire to attack the one next to them and eat the magic stone inside if an opening was shown was writhing.

But that wasn't the problem.

"Wow, Yuhwa-nunim, when did you come down here? And why are those two here together?"

"It's complicated to explain, so I'll tell you separately later. But why did that one come here?"

"I don't know. He suddenly started running this way like crazy."

"You should have stopped him somehow."

"Hey, even if we had Hercules-ahjussi on our side, there's no way only four of us could have stopped a guy like that."

At Baekhyun's words, Cheon Yuhwa let out a sigh.

"I can't believe things got so twisted…"

The three, who had been rampaging separately, had formed a connection with a single goal.

Of course, looking at their appearance so far, it didn't seem like that connection would happen with a normal combination.

But even if it was clumsy, the fact that a connection was made was desperate news.

Because even when the three were divided separately, it was difficult to attack their weaknesses and accumulate damage.

Although four new reinforcements had arrived on their side, they were all quite tired from their battle with Behemoth, so it was hard to expect them to be a great force.

"Hoo, I just finished my work and came, but how did this happen?"

But fortunately, reinforcements had arrived for them too.

"Anyway, I'm a little late, but I'm here to help!"

"Oz?"

"Where have you been playing until now!"

"What kind of talk is that to someone who came to take care of your guild members."

Oz said that and got off her broom, landing lightly where they were gathered.

"On top of that, I brought a reliable reinforcement."

At Oz's words, Raven, who had also landed on the ground by flapping her wings, tilted her head.

"I have no intention of helping."

"…Eh?"

Oz looked at Raven with a surprised expression, but Raven's expression did not change.

"Oppa told me that he would eat all three of those, so he told me not to touch them. So I have no intention of helping."

"Then why did you come here?"

"I came because I thought oppa would be here."

Raven, who had said that, looked around lightly.

"But it seems oppa is not here."

With those final words, Raven flapped her wings again and went up into the sky.

Everyone there looked at Raven's appearance blankly.

At that moment, Baekhyun said in a voice full of hollow laughter.

"…I don't know whose younger sister she is, but she's very sure of her own thoughts."

"Hah, well, fine. At least she's not going to interfere."

Crowley said that and took out three pills from his subspace, throwing two of them to Merlin and Oz.

"Huh?"

"What's this?"

"It's a medicine made by solidifying the special potion I worked so hard to make."

At Crowley's single word, the two recalled something and frowned.

"This is that thing you ate when you were at a disadvantage when you fought us in the past, right?"

"Ah, I remember now. I asked Crowley for a little of this in the past and almost threw up."

At the two's words, Crowley swung his fist without hesitation.

Although the three of them were the same mages, unlike the two who were pure mages, Crowley was closer to a magic warrior who handled various artifacts.

Tak- Tak-

Thanks to that, Crowley's fist very easily hit the two's heads.

"It's strange to put in strange ingredients just for the taste. And since it's an emergency, just bear with it and eat it."

"Ugh, you're disqualified as an alchemist. If you're aiming for the philosopher's stone, try making a strawberry-flavored pill with a flick of your wrist."

"Ah, if possible, I'd like an orange-flavored one. I personally prefer orange flavor over strawberry flavor."

The two grumbled like that, but they followed Crowley without hesitation and swallowed the medicine.

Crowley, who saw that, nodded his head and said in a small voice.

"For reference, you'll be unable to fight with this one magic. So do your best."

"…Huh? Isn't the medicine we ate the same one you ate in the past?"

Crowley looked at the two who were frowning from the bitter taste and said as if it were a matter of course.

"How much time do you think has passed since then? What you ate is an improved version of that initial version. It's a medicine that allows you to exert explosive performance, albeit only once."

A slight smile lingered on Crowley's lips.

"Instead, it's a medicine that makes you pour everything into that one time, and after that one attack is over, it makes the person who ate it a mess. For reference, Oz, what you ate is a special of the special. If you've rested until now, you should pay for your meal."

"Hey, you bastard! You're telling me to eat such a dangerous medicine without any explanation?!"

"Just read the signal appropriately."

Oz shouted something, but Crowley ignored her words and moved his feet.

'It was the second plan in case I couldn't finish it with the bomb I planted in Leviathan's body, but to think I'd use it like this. …Well, I guess it doesn't matter. Since Behemoth has come, I can't just let it sit.'

Kuuung-!

Crowley, after taking his position, drove a huge stake the size of five people into the ground, then got on top of it and placed his hand on the stake.

While continuing to fight, Crowley had repeatedly teleported and drawn a huge circle on the ground with a stake made by condensing a hundred magic stones.

That gathers the energy flowing from the ground and further amplifies Crowley's magic.

Woowoong--!!!

A super-wide-area magic, large enough to envelop Ziz, Leviathan, and Behemoth, unfolds.

[Alchemist's Workshop]

Crowley's magic spreads wide enough to envelop several cities.

Ttok-

With the sound of a small drop of water falling, the wind stops, the waves calm down, and the earth falls silent.

In the area, the influence of the three disappears as if they were dead.

[Alchemist's Workshop] was an original magic that Crowley had developed on his own.

A magic that, as its name suggests, allows one to cause various phenomena using mana even without any tools and to proceed with experiments by replacing tools.

Crowley excluded all other functions and focused on only one thing, moving mana to control the flow of the area.

What was created as a result was the current zone of silence.

Tuk- Tuk-

As a backlash for simultaneously stopping the rampage of the three, blood began to drip from Crowley's eyes and nose.

'The time I can hold on is about 30 seconds at most.'

Crowley, who had made that judgment, urged the two with his eyes shining brightly.

Woowoong--!!!

Woowoong--!!!

As if in response, two new areas began to appear on the board Crowley had created.

Pure white and pitch-black magic circles shone on the ground and in the sky, respectively, announcing their presence.

[Forest of Wisdom]

[Witch's Garden]

The magic of Merlin and Oz, amplified through the stake Crowley had installed, mixed and became more and more powerful.

Woodeudeuk--!!!

A great forest, larger than a building, appeared, breaking through the ground, and wrapped around their bodies.

Seeing that, the three monsters let out a sneer.

The thing they had found most tricky when dealing with the Ten Kings was their size difference.

Therefore.

Woodeudeuk-!

This kind of magic, which was just huge without any power, was nothing but prey to them.

Even Ziz, who lacked strength, could easily break the trees and escape from the confinement using its remaining beak and claws.

As if that was what they had been aiming for.

The huge trees, broken by them, were divided into tens of thousands of pieces and dug into their bodies.

Woodeudeuk-

And the moment the wood fragments that had dug in sucked their blood, they began to grow again.

The only difference was that the leaves of the trees that had grown this time were not the same green as before, but a blood-red color, and they grew as if wrapping around the three's bodies.

At the same time, Ziz, among them, was the first to notice the change happening in its body.

The sensation it had felt in its battle with Lee Shin, the sensation of its strength being sucked away.

No, in a way, it was worse than when it was with Lee Shin.

Because the trees that were now wrapping around their bodies were trying to absorb their strength and bind them.

Woodeudeuk-

The trees, which had been easily broken with a small movement, were felt to be getting tougher and tougher.

Five people jumped into the gap, who had been quietly holding their breath and gathering their strength, and the three, whose authority was restricted, bared their teeth fiercely and roared at them.

While they were clashing head-on.

"Oppa?"

Raven, who had been following Lee Shin's trail, landed lightly on the ground.
