Water Magician

Chapter 417: The Final Curtain Draw – And the Extinguished Hope (1)

What is that?

On the surface, it looked like a person.

A priest wearing a shining white robe.

But everyone there could tell.

That was not a person.

It was in the center of the assembly hall, but they could feel the pressure coming from it all the way to the audience seats.

Ryo was probably the only one who noticed that the Arachne, the spider monster that was supposedly frozen, had disappeared.

That was likely its manifestation or a medium

Ryo was certain.

Fallen Angel

Immediately.

Ryo realized that he had locked eyes with the Fallen Angel.

But the next moment.

Gon.

disappeared in an instant.

He hurriedly recast 100 layers.

100 layers was currently the maximum number of layers that Ryo could instantly create

That wasnt magic

It felt like what the Fallen Angel released earlier, causing his 30-layer ice wall to instantly disappear, wasnt magic.

That felt like energy itself is that possible?

Honestly, he didnt know.

Honestly, he didnt understand.

But it was right in front of him.

And it was an enemy.

If they dont deal with it theyll all die.

Ryo wasnt the only one who came to that conclusion.

The more powerful someone is, the more perceptive they are of that.

The Fallen Angel stood in the center of the arena.

Graham and Stefania attacked from the north.

Niels and Amon attacked from the east.

Then, from the south Master McGrath attacked.

As if to provide support, fire attribute magic flew from the south.

It was Roberto Pirlo.

However, Roberto Pirlos magic bombardment disappeared just before it hit the Fallen Angel.

The moment it disappeared, a small light emitted, and for a moment, Ryo could see magical power flowing into the Fallen Angels arm.

Did it absorb it?

He had to assume that the Fallen Angel could freely move between pure energy and matter.

Magic is a kind of energy.

To be honest, Ryo still couldnt say that he understood everything about magic, but he still thought of it as a kind of energy.

Fundamentally, two energies cant collide with each other.

Often it is substances charged with energy that collide.

Then, what is mutual annihilation in magic?

That is probably a problem that cannot be solved without an accurate understanding of magic

The swordsmen attacked from three sides.

Their downward blows were fast, thrusts were sharp, and side sweeps left no traces behind

But

Ping.

All the swords were repelled before they could reach the Fallen Angel.

The people who attacked it probably expected that too.

Even a holy sword probably wouldnt harm it.

Still, they had to attack.

The reason was fear.

Although battle-hardened even they, or rather, only they, could understand the primal fear that directly touched their human nature.

Driven by fear, they had no choice but to attack.

However, as expected all their swords could not reach it.

Ryo didnt move.

Even Ryo felt fearful of the Fallen Angel.

But he understood more than that.

The swords of this world could not harm it.

That was not something that could be defeated.

Whats next if it cant be defeated?

Give up?

No!

Theres no need to defeat it.

The coffin that he modified earlier was only slightly smaller than the coffin on the south side that arrived in front of him.

He was certain of that because he cast Scan on it when he saw it on the first floor.

In that case, he should fit it into the coffin from the south side!

Its complete!

It was accomplished at a great speed.

As fast as Neil Andersen when he rolled out the upgraded Republics golem Civilian.

That may be proof that Ryos alchemy has reached top tier.

Place the east coffin into the south coffin.

Then think again.

The tools for sealing have been completed.

However, even if he did bring that contraption to the center of the arena, no sane being would obediently enter if he asked them to.

Besides, even with double confinement, he was still anxious.

He didnt know if such a thing was possible, but unless he did some damage to the Fallen Angel and made it a little weaker, there was a high possibility that the coffin would blow up the moment he confined it in it.

However, in the center of the arena, battle-hardened fighters were attacking with holy swords, but they were all repelled by what appeared to be the Fallen Angels and were unable to land a single blow.

If even a holy sword could not break through it, it must be a barrier of something that was not of this world.

An opponent who absorbs magic and cannot be harmed by a holy sword.

Someone who is not of this world.

It is impossible to damage and weaken such an opponent.

Is there something? Some way

Ryo looked around.

And then he stopped at one point.

He placed his hand on his waist

Murasame

He removed it from the sheath and held it in his right hand.

Ryos partner that has gone through many life-and-death situations with him.

The sword given to him by a non-human, his sword master, the Fairy King.

Maybe I have no choice but to rely on you

Ryo muttered.

At that moment, Murasame seemed to glow blue, just a little.

Its as if it answered, You can rely on me.

Ryo formed an ice blade on Murasame and held it in his left hand.

He then carried the double coffin on his right shoulder.

Then he said to Etho.

Im going.

Be careful.

Etho answered.

In the center of the arena, the battle-hardened fighters, driven by fear, slashed at the Fallen Angel with holy swords that could not harm it.

They understood too.

That even their holy swords couldnt harm it.

That they would be repelled by the Fallen Angels .

But they were not acting rationally.

It was the heart.

Their hearts were moved by fear.

Fear welled up from the depths of their hearts due to the presence in front of them.

Fear eventually turns into despair.

When you are in despair, your body stops moving.

They know.

So, they attacked while they could still move.

Graham and Stefania attack from the north.

Niels and Amon attacked from the east.

And Hugh McGrath attacked from the south.

They too were beginning to feel that they had to accept the situation.

There was nothing humans could do in the face of that existence.

At that moment, a blue light flashed over their heads.

The blue light descended on the west side of the Fallen Angel, placed the coffin on the ground, and attacked the Fallen Angel without wasting any time.

Parin.

Gakin!

There was a sound like glass breaking, followed soon by the sound of hard objects striking each other.

Ryos downward blow broke through the Fallen Angels barrier and the sound came from the sword in the Fallen Angels hand immediately coming up to block that blow.

Ryo broke the barrier that even holy swords could not break.

Fallen Angel, your opponents are me and Murasame.

For a brief moment, after Ryo taunted it, the Fallen Angel seemed to smile slightly.

And then, the sword fight between the two began.
