Reincarnator Chapter 374:
Reincarnator - Chapter 374: Inheritance War (4)
—rumble!—
Hansoo looked at the castle-like structure that seemed to be made up of layers of machines and continued to run towards it .
The machine castle seemed to let out energy that was larger than that of the two energies bursting at the sides .
The machine castle—clearly belonging to Melchizedek—didn’t seem to be welcoming Hansoo .
‘It doesn’t look prepared for a guest . ’
—boom!—
Hansoo looked at the pillar of light that rose into the skies in the distance .
Then—
—rumble—
—the spikes embedded around Hansoo’s now upgraded body started to **** out mana at a rapid pace .
—kakakakak!—
Similar to how icicles form, the armor turned into a crystalline structure as it devoured more mana and quickly covered his body .
And Hansoo’s Demonic Dragon Reinforcement covered the blue armor with another layer of protection .
—booooom!—
Artillery shells were being fired from a distance and started smashing at Hansoo’s body .
Bright blue strikes that smashed the ground all around them .
The force of the strikes was so intense that it even dug apart the Nelkipa skin, which had withstood the Photon Strikes .
It was a strength that was incomparable to anything before .
—boom!—
—booooom!—
His Demonic Dragon Reinforcement deflected the strikes away, but the attacks succeeded in stopping him from charging forward .
Hansoo frowned .
Even Melchizedek could not create this powerful of an attack with his technology .
And Hansoo soon realized the answer .
‘Crystal . ’
—booom!—
The attacks were mixed with bright blue energy .
Hansoo sighed and tightly clenched his hammer— Melchizedek’s forces were using the energy from the crystal .
At this rate, it would be hard to advance even if his body could withstand it .
The ground beneath his feet was breaking apart just by defending against these attacks .
‘I’m not really into being whacked around . ’
Withstanding firepower of this scale would cause his Pandemic Blade to lose a large amount of strength as well .
The thing he needed now was a single, powerful strike .
Then—
—chichichichichik—
—five dragons popped out from Hansoo’s heart .
Five dragons that were much thicker and deeper in color than in the past .
Each one was so overbearing that they seemed like they would soar into the skies at any moment .
The dragons were made from a 3-Star level of mana and power, and they quickly flew into the hammer, condensing into a single point .
Hansoo gathered this strength and slammed down onto the ground .
Then—
—booooom!—
Like an Earth Dragon swimming through the ground—
—dozens of black lightning bolts flew through the ground in all directions, each bolt strengthened by Hansoo’s Nine Dragons Strike .
Each bolt of lightning flew through the Nelkipa’s skin like a dragon and soon smashed into the machine castle in the distance .
A bright blue shield powered by energy from the crystal started to defend the army, but it was only for a moment .
—kaduk!—
The dozens of black lightning bolts smashed through the shield like a thin layer of ice and attacked the mechanical soldiers .
Then—
—booooom!—
—a tremendous shockwave shook the area .
The mechanical soldiers who were directly hit by that strike melted down from the sheer amount of energy, like ice cream under a hot sun .
And it didn’t stop there .
—rumble!—
The electromagnetic field created from the explosions started to spread through the area as well .
Of course, Melchizedek’s forces had some level of resistance towards it, but there was a limit .
—chiiijijik—
The soldiers, whose circuits had all burned up by the electromagnetic storm, made strange noises and fell to the ground .
—rumble—
With that one strike, the rain of attacks had diminished to a degree .
But Hansoo knew—
—that this wasn’t the end .
—kigigigik—
—kiririk—
Hansoo watched hundreds of soldiers rebuild their bodies, preparing to attack him again and continued to dash towards the castle again .
—booooom!—
—boom!—
The attacks still struck him, but at a much-diminished aura and strength .
—whoooosh!—
Thanks to this, Hansoo had been able to move towards the castle at a much faster pace .
‘This isn’t really my style, but…’
—boooom!—
—boom!—
Hansoo withstood the countless strikes like a tank and started thinking .
Although he liked single, powerful strikes, this really wasn’t his hobby .
He avoided battles as much as possible and focused on his objective .
He saved his strength and only focused on taking the neck of his objective .
Up until now, he’d fought in the frontlines because the situation had demanded it, but he personally preferred being an assassin over a warrior .
Even if it took a bit longer, it was a much more efficient and safe job .
But of course, the current situation didn’t allow it .
He had to deal with this as fast as possible .
It wasn’t just Melchizedek, either .
Even if he dealt with this place, but if they lost at the other two places, it was still a failure in the end .
He had to deal with this place as fast as possible and support the other two .
Of course, it would be even better if Kiriel and Enbi Arin could deal with their opponents and then came to help him .
But it didn’t seem like it would be that easy .
Their opponents really didn’t seem easy .
‘The Valentine siblings… I’ll leave it to you two, Kiriel and Enbi Arin . ’
—boom!—
Hansoo thought about these four names as he continued to charge through the attacks, the energy behind each strike causing his body temperature to steadily rise up .
……………………………………………………… . .
—rumble—
“Woah… he’s really something, isn’t he?”
Ares whistled as he felt the vibrations in the air and the shockwaves in the ground .
Even if he was far away, the shockwaves were something to behold .
Melchizedek’s personal castle that even they didn’t dare to enter .
Huge shockwaves and the sounds of loud explosions were continuously resonating from Melchizedek’s castle .
‘ . . . So Kang Hansoo is the one that went there? He’s more stupid than I thought . ’
Ares Valentine was really shocked as he suppressed the sweat rolling down from the side of his neck .
‘Need to keep calm . ’
In reality, he was kind of glad .
Although he didn’t think he would lose, but if someone that stupid came to him then things would become very annoying .
People like that thought along the lines of ‘It’s all fine as long as I can smash apart my opponent’s body before mine gets smashed apart . ’ .
From the opponent’s point of view, it would be a battle without profit even if they won, and they were likely to receive a large amount of damage .
The most annoying kind of person to fight .
If he had come here, it would have truly been a dirty battle .
Ares Valentine thought that his luck was quite good .
‘A beauty has arrived instead . ’
Ares Valentine chuckled as he looked at Enbi Arin, who stared at him with cold eyes .
“I’m really curious, but did you really come here to win?”
—crackle—
Ares Valentine moved his hand and cracked it as he asked .
The armor she had on seemed to be quite useful .
Even more so if one took into the fact that it was hard to find armor that Transcendents could use .
But that was it .
He could estimate her level .
Enbi Arin was a tiny chick that had just risen to the 3-Star level .
It was unpleasant to call himself this, but he was an old man in terms of 3-Star Transcendents .
‘Not all 3-Stars are the same . ’
He was excited .
Even though battles made him tense .
But there was nothing more fun than a battle where one knew they’d win .
Enbi Arin clenched her fists as she muttered:
“Of course I came to win, you damned **** . ”
“Hehe . ”
Ares Valentine looked at Enbi Arin and thought she was **** .
He really liked Enbi Arin .
A woman who was this strong .
As well as her **** appearance and fit physique .
And her fiery temper .
His most ideal type .
It was why he’d tried so hard to invite Enbi Arin to their side .
Even while listening to the storm of curses from Elis .
He was a bit upset that Elis’s attitude towards him had grown colder, but he didn’t regret his decision .
If there was no longer any love in this damned world, then how tragic would that be?
‘If I had gone up to the 3-Star level first, then… I might’ve been able to have you . ’
So he had tried so hard .
To become strong enough to suppress Enbi Arin .
If he surprised her with his power than she would have no choice but to join them first .
While keeping Enbi Arin as his goal, he had risen up to a 3-Star, and the first thing hed done afterward was to seek her out .
But he had been a step too late—Melchizedek had taken her .
He had lamented this .
The Enbi Arin under Melchizedek’s control was not the Enbi Arin he liked .
So he had given up on her, but nobody would know of his feelings .
He had run so hard after one goal, but that goal had disappeared .
He’d experienced the sensation of having his heart ripped apart .
But that goal had appeared before him again .
And still with her own mind intact .
‘Today… is really my lucky day . ’
Ares Valentine’s heart started beating faster .
His goal had appeared again before he went up .
How great was this?
Although it wasn’t the best situation that she was now a 3-Star, but that didn’t matter .
Since he would win .
‘Enbi Arin . Let’s go together . ’
Ares Valentine looked at Enbi Arin with a trembling heart .
………………………………………………
‘…Ares Valentine . That crazy **** . He’s not spouting some nonsense about his love and ignoring his duties, right?’
Elis Valentine, who had been dealing with Kiriel, thought of her younger brother and then frowned .
Hearing that her younger brother’s crush had gone to him kept on bugging her .
But Elis Valentine decided to ignore it .
‘I just need to deal with this quickly and go over . ’
No matter how brash he was, he wouldn’t ignore her own words .
Elis decided to handle this quickly and smiled at Kiriel .
“I have something to do, so let’s finish this quickly . ”
“Even if you didn’t say that… I was planning on doing the same thing . ”
‘Damn . She’s quite good, though . ’
—spit—
The surroundings had long been destroyed by their confrontations .
And within a giant hole in the ground created from one of their collisions .
Kiriel spat out some blood as she touched the cheek that Elis had struck and frowned .
She was really strong .
‘I wonder if I can really stop her… Damn . ’
Kiriel frowned as she looked at the raging crystal behind Elis .
