The World of Masks

I can't even remember how many lightning strikes already. There was no reason to count it. Charles flashes lightning at the altar once more.

Puang!

The black shadow rises and flashes lightning. However, the shadow was also heavily shaken. At the center of the lightning strike, there was a ripples of ripples under the harsh wind. Earlier, I didn't react to that much.

“Just a little more! ”

Charles gives himself a headache. Once more, lightning grabs his fist and decides to remove the shadow and destroy the altar.

It was then.

Darkness envelops the ground.

Not a metaphor, but it really seemed that way. The sun in the sky was alive, but it seemed like there was a night that did not even rise on the floor. A lustfully light-eating black night, like a mixture of all kinds of black in food.

Charles looks down at the ground with his startled eyes. Sweat builds up from his shin under his chin.

There are countless black spears protruding out of the darkness. The frequency, its power, and its speed have all overwhelmed the Black Thorn that has been attacking cannonballs or missiles to date. They begin to project incoming cannonballs and missiles. It doesn't have an inductive function, it doesn't launch accurately. You've outdone cannonballs and missiles with mere numbers. The shells and missiles that were covering the city won't take long to ignite.

“How's that? Isn't that great? ”

He appears, stepping in the dark. Charles looks back at the side where he heard his voice.

“Fabio Gonzalez. ”

I saw a man walking with a great darkness like the Lord of the Night. Charles was able to recognize his face without difficulty. He identified it hundreds of times in photographs.

“Welcome to my kingdom. I want to hear the best in the world. ”

Fabio opens his arms wide. Everything around him seems to be his own. Charles spits with a grumpy face.

“That's terrible. You've made the city a living hell. ”

“I admit the city is a little lonely, but it takes a little retreat to take a big step. ”

“It's not a little retreat, and it's not a big step in what you're planning. I'm going to ask you. What do you want to do? I got information from your old apartment in Abdullah that you were thinking crazy thoughts about resurrecting God to rule America after conquering the world, didn't I? I mean, no matter how crazy you think you are, you can't possibly think before the 20th century. ”

“You and I have different views. Don't you think that's a great ambition, not a crazy idea? ”

“Was it real?”

Charles grabs his head. I also pressed my temples to see if my head was hurting.

“When have you ever been ambitious? That's been a delusion since Hitler. How about we live in the future? ”

But even with Charles' sincere advice, Fabio only laughed in relief. Seeing that, Charles had only one thought. 'Oh, no.'.

“I decide the future. ”

With that, Fabio raises his hand.

Fight!

The black pillar rises from where Charles was. Charles sprints to the side in a hurry.

Phew! Phew!

A branch of thorns protrudes back to the side of the rising black pillar and attacks Charles.

“Queek!”

Charles turns back with a strange voice. The black thorn slithers past Charles.

Phew!

Another spike rises from the side of the black thorn that passes by Charles' side, shooting back at him. Charles hurriedly puts lightning on his feet.

Grrrrr!

Charles' body shifts by several decades in an instant. Charles sweeps his chest.

'Dammit, it's definitely powerful, fast, Variant, and significantly increased!'

Fabio's attack so far has been spectacular.

“What's the matter? Where did you put all the superpowers? ”

Fabio is dead. The crisis of Charles has escalated even further, as Fabio seems to be completely unaware of his efforts.

“I don't dope like anyone else. ”

“In a war with no laws or rules, doping isn't just about a coward, it's about an idiot who can't do it. ”

“Son of a bitch, you're making me speechless. ”

Charles grunts.

[Are you there, Nidelbad?]

Suddenly, Ueron spoke.

[Yes, here it is. It's been a long time, Ueron.]

Dark and sticky sound. The owner of that voice will never be the right one. It was Charles's first time hearing Niedelvard's voice. I heard that the darkest and most cunning god was very self-assertive.

[Yeah, it's been a while. I spoke to my Pipps, and I thought I should speak to you. I wasn't expecting much.]

[I think I know what you're talking about, and I have an answer for that, but good. Let's hear it.]

[Will you stop doing this and prepare for the invasion of the world with us?]

[Decline.]

A decisive answer brutally cuts off Ueron's offer. It was already an anticipated answer, but Ueron lets out a sound of disappointment.

[I rather don't understand you, Ueron. Humans are only those who should serve us. In our world, why do you act like a saint who got enlightened when he came here? Wouldn't you rather join me? And just as the Philips died, no one could take over Europe and Africa. If you cooperate with us, we can transfer you to that area.]

And Nidelbad started talking to Charles this time.

[Charles Lemington. How about you? You can rule like a king in Europe and Africa. A king who has absolute power to do whatever you want, not only the king of history, but also of nobles and people.]

“I'm not interested. ”

As Nydelbard refused Ueron's offer, Charles cut off Nydelbard's words without hesitation.

“I told you, I'm going to live in the future. I don't want to get involved in the story of those breathtaking old legs. ”

Charles raises his hand and emphasizes a portion of his finger. Ueron laughs at Charles' remarks.

[Yes, that's right! Well said! Nydelbard, have you listened to my contractor? I think our opinion is that we want to run parallel lines.]

[I think so. It's a pity.]

[Yeah, that's really too bad.]

Charles leans back and leans slightly. I was nervous as if I was always going to bounce. By comparison, Fabio showed no other movement. Instead, I relaxed with my arms crossed.

“As expected, your god is no different from you. It's just rubbish.”

“That's also the difference of opinion. He's a really good guardian for me. ”

Fabio frowns as if there were no doubts about his rebuttal. Charles' expression distorted as if he had been in a frenzy.

“It's amazing how much you love it. ”

“Isn't it greater than the gods we believe in in in our world? It's real, and it benefits you more than anything. That's what I want, too. What better god could there be? Isn't it beneficial for you to believe in religion in the first place? For heaven, for blessings. ”

“Is that why you've been passed on to the evil god? ”

“My sister says it's a difference of opinion. It seems odd that you are from the United States of America, a democratic country, and do not approve of others' opinions. ”

“Oh, thanks for the fresh shit. I never thought you'd say democracy. ”

Democracy is the word that must never come out of Fabio's mouth to rule the world and enslave all humans.

“I don't give a shit. No matter what I say in the future, there won't be one person who dares to oppose my opinion in front of me! ”

The shadow of Fabio's feet rises high. The pillar of shadow that was going up to the point of penetrating the sky began to spread to Saba and cover the sky. It was like a huge umbrella covering the city.

Boom, boom! Boom!

I heard a sound from the sky. In the shadows of the umbrella, cannonballs and missiles are hollow.

Phew!

A sharp pillar protrudes out from under the shadow that darkens the sky. So far, they've begun to fall to the ground at tremendous speeds, as if they were replacing rainy shells and missiles. At the same time, the shadow of the ground shakes. An incalculable black pillar protrudes from the ground, aligned with the sharp pillar falling from the sky.

The pillars of shadow protrude from both directions, as if crocodile teeth were engaged, rushing fiercely towards each other. And in between, Charles is blindly threatened by the fact that his rigid trunk is turning into a simple hex.

“Damn it! Dope as much as you want! ”

Phage job!

Charles puts lightning all over his body. Despite the attempt to flee in lightning, the city was surrounded by a shadow. It's fast, but it's impossible to make a delicate turn with lightning. Probably a massive assault to keep Charles from getting away. Charles had no choice but to take the reins.

'If it's a power struggle, I have to be pushed.'

Charles' eyes roll open. In that short time, I found a place where at least the Shadow Siege was fierce.

Kuaang!

Bold lightning flashed out to one side. It was literally the power to breast-feed.

Immediately, flashes of lightning and a dark shadow collide in front of you.

On rainy days, there is something that excites the mind of a person in reading while drinking tea or coffee. Is it because the rain makes people emotional? The raindrops falling out of the window may have been the reason for touching the emotional lines of the small book in hand.

“I was enjoying myself for that, but is there a problem? ”

Pan Chi Anne stared at the fool who had recently become her master. Reyna also didn't talk about whether she felt the same way about Cheyenne.

“So, since shells and missiles seem to be raining, you've been drinking tea and reading as you hear them explode? ”

“That's a pretty good summary. If you look at it that way, yes. ”

Jinsuk grimaced one eye and put a cup of tea in his mouth. In his other hand was a book. Pan Chi Anne was also aware of the book. She remembered, it was a novel that contained the love stories of two young lovers. I couldn't say it was a good book to read in the middle of the battlefield.

“And one more thing: the screams of the humans that come from the storm. That's the best one again. I can cook three meals of rice with that. ”

Though he had never considered himself to be a sane human being, he realized that this man, his master, was far more insane than she had ever imagined.

“· · · · · · Fabio left. ”

In the end, she gave up talking and decided to only say what she wanted to say.

“Finally. You went to confront AMSS yourself? ”

“Yes. Maybe I should go to Charles Lemington first. I don't think I like the name" superpower. "”

Jinsuk laughed out loud.

“What, are you trying to brag about a rat who's been sneaking around like a bug getting powers? Well, I thought he deserved a little credit, but I guess I was wrong. ”

Jinsuk puts the teacup on the table and closes the book.

“Okay, let's start acting. ”
