Chapter 358 - Episode Five - A Certain Fire Country's Evil Omen (5)(Side: Rimud)
The two stone arms manipulated by Rimud move at high speed through the pa.s.sage, chasing Jeem around.
His right fist vibrates the entire pa.s.sage.
Jeem kicks the side of the right fist, jumps up, and turns upside down with both feet on the ceiling.
“I guess I’m a little bit at a disadvantage here. Perhaps we should have fought in a more s.p.a.cious area.”
Jeem was able to escape Rimud’s magic, but he was having trouble closing the distance.
With the two stone arms attacking repeatedly, Jeem’s movement is limited.
It is very likely that he will not be able to avoid the additional attacks of Rimud’s magic from a short distance in this limited width of the pa.s.sage.
It was within the range that Jeem had predicted he would be able to deal with Rimud’s magic in plenty of time.
“Now then, what do I do. It’s a bit of a ha.s.sle to wait until we run out of magic power.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Then let’s expand this place!”
The left arm of the stone stabbed the ceiling with all four fingers except the thumb, and then moved forward toward Jeem, who was still attached to the ceiling.
A tremendous amount of strength is breaking down the ceiling walls.
“Mmm ……”
Jeem kicked the ceiling, kicked the wall, and quickly escaped the threat of his left arm.
However, a huge fireball, nearly two meters in diameter, had been fired at Jeem’s landing point.
He twisted his body to s.h.i.+ft his center of gravity, then turned his body vertically to add a rotational motion that greatly altered his trajectory and allowed him to escape the fireball.
“Hihoho …… aren’t you being a little too impatient? Lord Rimdo ……”
The right arm that was prepared was released in a straight line and shot Jeem right in the face as he landed on the floor.
“It took me longer than I thought, but now ……”
“I’m telling you, you’re in too much of a hurry, Lord Rimud.”
The stone right arm that was supposed to have struck Jeem fell to the floor with a large hole in the back of the hand and a whole lot of cracks.
Jeem stood unconcernedly in the same position he had been in before he was struck.
However, his whole body was covered with fine muscle fibers, like plant roots, giving him an inhuman appearance.
But as you can see, the structure is different from that of human muscles.
“…… That’s not a normal “Gouma”, huh. You’ve been tampering with your body a lot to make the most of “Gouma”. It’s not even in its original form. ……”
“I never thought I’d have to reveal this much of my hand to Lord Rimud. What do you think? This is the ultimate martial art that I have perfected, the “Dragon Flow”, which was thought to be impossible to achieve.”
“D-, Dragon Flow ……?”
In the Maharaun Kingdom, there is a secret martial art called “Gouma,” which is used to temporarily strengthen muscles by circulating magic power through the body.
The techniques of “Sword Flow” and “Ogre Flow” have been handed down as martial arts using “Gouma”.
“Sword Flow” is a technique that deflects an opponent who is slas.h.i.+ng at you with a sword by letting the hardened slope of your body follow the sword.
The “Ogre Flow” is a technique to reduce the damage by letting a part of the impact of the blow to the wall or ground.
The “Dragon Flow” is a fictional technique that, based on the above, if you master the “Gouma”, you may be able to return any blow or slash in any direction in a perfect form.
It was said that if you could achieve this, you could even return the power of the blow directly into the fist of the person who was striking you.
“Impossible. ……! It’s been told many times that it’s theoretically impossible from every angle! And now you’ve perfected it on your own!”
“Well, I think it’s time for us to end this, Lord Rimud.”
“You, You monster!”
Rimud waves his staff.
The destroyed stone right arm regenerates itself with the stone fragments scattered around, and the right hand and left hand return to Limdo together.
“Hihoho …… What’s wrong, being so defensive? Are you afraid of me, Lord Rimud?”
Jeem spreads his arms, tilts his head to the side, and smiles strangely with his oddly shaped face, which is covered with veins.
“I’ll tell you one good thing before you die …… You seemed to be very concerned about who the traitor was, didn’t you, Lord Rimud?”
“…………”
“The other Five Grand Masters …… King Magra, Lord Rajin, and Lord Karna, have all agreed to the plan to eliminate Lord Rimud and have entrusted me with all future movements of the kingdom.”
“Wh-What!?”
“It was not that Lord Rimud wanted to kill me. It’s just that It was my idea first to kill Lord Rimud. After all these years of watching Lord Rimud, I knew that you would get in my way no matter what. So, in order to set the scene, I was waiting for the day to come when you would be forced to set up the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on me. The other three are in doubt, but if I kill you now, they will know that they have no choice. This kingdom will fall into my hands.”
“Wh-Who the h.e.l.l are you!?”
“Hihoho …… you think this Jeem is just a misguided old man, do you? I know very clearly that Lord Rimud was in league with Lord Peter. Lord Rimud is a little too young to be dealing with me.”
Jeem ran straight to Rimud with his arms outstretched.
Rimud put his stone arm around to guard, but he didn’t know if it made any sense in the first place in front of Jeem’s “Dragon Flow”.
“Then …… Flame!”
Rimud pointed his staff at the stone wreckage that had collapsed the walls and floor nearby.
The stone wreckageit was covered in fire magic.
“Trans.m.u.te!”
He continued to wave his wand at the flaming remains of the stone.
The flaming stone glowed and turned into a huge, transparent sword and s.h.i.+eld, covered in flames.
Before the sword and s.h.i.+eld fell to the floor, the stone arms grabbed them and held them up.
“As expected, even I can’t return fire either, but if you bring it up, it won’t be on the scale it was. It would be difficult to treat me as an accidental death ……”
“You’re too dangerous! Jeem! Even if the name of the Five Grand Masters is ruined, I will kill you!”
A huge, blazing sword and a circular s.h.i.+eld are approaching Jeem, crumbling walls, floors, and ceilings.
