Chapter 295 - Episode Forty-Two - The Great G.o.d Kudor (16)

I look at the sea where Kudor sank.

As you can imagine …… even Kudor would not be able to survive a direct hit from Levi’s spear.

It seems that she can use her magic power to recover instantly, but it seems to consume a lot of magic power.

Perhaps that was why she was unusually averse to taking a direct hit.

Zolomonia is crouched on the floor, deploying a magic circle of sensing and a.n.a.lysis in parallel.

In particular, the a.n.a.lysis is being done from three different directions at the same time.

She seemed to be struggling somewhat, as if she was straining her magical power quite a bit.

She seemed to be nearing his limit.

I can use a.n.a.lytical magic as well …… I want to be ready to hit Levi’s spear with a guaranteed hit as soon as Kudor comes out.

I don’t want to distract her by using unnecessary magic.

I’ll leave Zolomonia to it.

“Can you measure Kudor’s magic power? How many more times do I have to throw the spear?”

“…… As an artificial spirit, she’s like a complex ma.s.s of information. The damage and regeneration of the spirit body by the spear created a gap in the protection, but still, even with her power, it was difficult to grasp the reality ……”

Zolomonia’s face twisted as if she noticed something.

Then her eyes widened.

“D-Don’t tell me …… No, that’s not possible ……”

Her voice is trembling.

She was stunned while looking at the sea where Kudor was sinking.

“Zolomonia?”

“That’s more than just a high-level spirit. Even this mistress had no idea that such a thing existed. I don’t understand how such a huge number of spirits can be combined to form a single ent.i.ty with a personality. In other words, it’s as if you’re giving a single personality to a single dimension.”

“What the h.e.l.l did you find out?”

I’ve known for a long time that Kudor is a non-standard artificial spirit.

I will not be surprised if I find out something now. I’ve promised Peter that I’ll never give up.

Even if the odds are against us, we’re going to bite the bullet.

Besides, the damage to Kudor is definitely done. It’s not like he’s an insurmountable opponent.

“…… She wastes an enormous amount of magic power to repair the damage to her body. She herself is a ma.s.s of dense spirit, and when she suffers visible damage, it means that all of her dense spirits has been ripped out of her. It seems that using magic to regenerate them and restore them to their original form requires a reasonable price. I’ve calculated that she’s using more than a hundred times as much magic as I estimated at first glance.”

“One hundred times ……”

I thought that the initial estimate was too much, but I didn’t say anything unnecessary.

I understand very well that Zolomonia has a lot more pride than most.

“Kudor is constantly depleting her magic just by moving. The reason why she slept in the ancient cathedral, and the reason why she kept her body separate, may have been so that she could move in perfect condition when needed. Kudor is too powerful and too broken to be a single high-ranking spirit. All the laws of the world denied that Kudor was in a perfect position and acted to spread her magic. The laws of the world do not allow for the gathering of spirits to such an extent. In addition to this, the fact that artificial spirit …… is not a natural law, but a life created by human hands, adds to the bankruptcy of the existence of Kudor.”

I also noticed that Kudor was fighting with fear of losing her magic power.

Zolomonia’s words make sense to me.

“She seems more desperate to acc.u.mulate her own magical power rather than the battle itself. Her using only her tentacle is probably to save up magical power.”

“In short, Kudor is an unnatural being, and because she is constantly being dragged down by the laws of the world, she continues to shed magic power needlessly. And …… what’s wrong with that?”

As long as Kudor has instantaneous regeneration by magic, I have no choice but to keep hitting her until her magic runs out, so Zolomonia’s current thinking can only be to my advantage.

This means that I’m just buying time and Kudor is getting weaker and weaker.

“The problem is that with that much magic wasted, the amount of magic left in Kudor’s current state is more than ninety-nine percent of its maximum capacity.”

“Wha- ……?”

I didn’t understand what Zolomonia was talking about.

“Probably …… It would take at least a thousand penetrations of the body to completely finish off Kudor with that spear.”

“A thou-thousand times!?”

The rewriting of the fate of Levi’s spear to make it a guaranteed hit consumes an enormous amount of magic power, even for me.

I can’t even use it ten times a day, let alone a thousand times. It’s impossible.

Zolomonia, who has jumped out to a.s.sist, has already reached the limit of magical power.

We can’t fight any longer.

“You-, you’re kidding, right? No matter how hard I try, I can’t ……”

It’s just too impossible. I can only think of that as Zolomonia’s measurement error.

If this is true, it would be a grand embarra.s.sment to Levi, who has been told for nearly 10,000 years that he fought well against Kudor with only one spear strike.

The Levi Church should be dissolved immediately.

A huge black shadow appeared at the position where Kudor had been sinking.

A violent shock wave spreads around the shadow. The surface of the sea is sc.r.a.ped open, creating a spherical s.p.a.ce in the ocean, and Kudor with wings spread out appears, rising straight up.

The size of Kudor must have remained the same, but now that I knew the scale of her overwhelming magical power, she seemed much larger than before.

I looked up at Kudor in dismay, my hand holding my wand hanging down helplessly.

What did Priest Yohanan want to do by creating such a monster?

“…… to lose so much of my magic power in such a way.”

Kudor’s words were not sarcastic or irreverent. It’s just a fact.

Even though it’s less than one percent of the magic, it’s a magic that Kudor wanted to preserve, and it probably wasn’t something he should have used on someone like me.

The more high-ranking a spirit is, the greater the gap between the maximum amount of magic power they can hold and the natural recovery amount of their depleted magic power.

If you have a group of spirits as large as Kudor, a group of spirits that Zolomonia fears, the tendency to do so is unbelievably strong.

So much so that I had to go to sleep for thousands of years to store up the magic.

“It’s a bit of a ha.s.sle if you get popped by a …… spear. I’m not sure what to do. I’ll show you a few things as a reward for you guys biting down this far.”

Kudor stopped speaking and took a deep breath.

At the same time, a huge magic circle unfolds.

Suddenly, the ma.s.s of flesh expands. The countless tentacles that extend further begin to grow rapidly and descend into the sea.

The tentacles that have descended into the sea crawl around on the surface of the sea, continue to branch out, and take root.

Tentacles extend from the shoulders, forming complex shapes like the skeletons of wings, which then branch out again and spread.

“Type World Tree, if you will call it.”

In the blink of an eye, the entire length of the Kudor jumped to nearly a hundred meters.

The principle is similar to my Hydeem Magimetal.

The scale is too large, but it would be correct to call it alchemy.

She weaves her own spirit body into the matter in the air, synthesizes it with magic power, and changes its properties.

By connecting them together as her own body, she was able to increase the size and ma.s.s of her body.

The purpose of this is to gain strength so that Levi’s spear won’t break her stance.

Or perhaps more accurately, she wants to break my heart by showing me her own magic and ability to deal with it.

“How am I supposed to deal with this ……”

Just looking up at her made me dizzy.

It’s too different from the opponents I’ve faced in the past.

“Th-This …… there’s nothing I can do about it anymore. There is no way to win.”

Zolomonia spills out beside me.

It seems that the Great Demon of Wisdom is completely out of control.

“You’ve finally given up.”

The Kudor’s voice echoed from far above.

Hearing this, I felt my brain heat up.

I don’t know why, but Kudor’s target is Mea.

If I give up, she’ll kill Mea, too. I’m sure of it.

I bit my lip.

Something, something …… Is there anything that I could use to attack that could be used against Kudor.

Is there anything I’m overlooking? The move that I cut off without giving it much thought early on was ……

“This could …… do it?”

I muttered in a whisper.

I hurriedly pressed my left arm to my mouth, shutting my voice.

I looked at Zolomonia and called out to her in a whisper.

“Zolomonia …… I want to make one last struggle. Give me the results of the a.n.a.lysis in a “Memory Copy” so that Kudor doesn’t notice.”

“W-What do you intend to do at this time?”

“It’s a battle tactic. I’ll do what my opponent hates the most.”
