Chapter 430 - Episode Seventy-Six - Destroyer from Ancient Times Moebius (6)

I managed to get up and held my wand up to Moebius.

“But …… I’m afraid you lost your chance to win when your magic didn’t work, didn’t you? Why don’t you just sit back and be obsequious to me? Hmm?”

Moebius called out to me.

“…… Carry”

I created ten magic circles around me and summoned the same number of Ortems.

“Hoh~ …… This is quite spectacular. But teleportation magic requires a certain amount of magic power …… This makes you look desperate, doesn’t it?”

Moebius looked at the whole thing, clapped his hands in a mocking manner, and then pointed out to me.

“Didn’t you already learned the hard way that it’s not a matter of numbers? In the first place, you have no way to restrain me. It’s as if you’re a child who’s acting up, aren’t you?”

“Go, Ortem!”

I ignore Moebius’s words and send the Ortems towards her.

But none of the Ortems could make a decisive move, and one by one they were destroyed by that magic crystal glove.

…… I’m being completely played.

If I knew that she can’t attack me as much as I think she can, she should be able to choose to attack me more forcefully.

She could have sneaked through the Ortem, destroyed the shield of Hydeem Magimetal, and planned to attack me.

The reason why she didn’t do that was because Moebius didn’t see me as a danger at all.

It is true that with such physical abilities, it would not be impossible to make an effective strike against Kudor and escape if I had some other assistance.

I launched a simultaneous attack with my five Ortems, and tried to attack with the Babylon 8000 at different times.

However, Moebius easily kicked away the five Ortems and stood on top of Babylon 8000, firmly holding one of its arms with both magic crystal gloves.

“I’ve had enough of this ugly form of this Ortem.”

There was a cracking sound, and one of Babylon 8000’s arms was torn off.

Babylon 8000 was then slammed to the floor.

Moebius landed on top of it and raised her right arm.

“It can’t be helped, Abel. You may be a little out of your league, but I’ll show you that you’re no match for me in direct combat. Watch my power with all your heart!”

A large number of magic circles appeared around Moebius.

I ran my eyes to check the number of magic circles.

All in all, twenty …… As expected, I was taken aback.

In theory, eight is the limit to the number of magic circles that a human brain can process in parallel, Altamir said.

In fact, Altamir also said that the limit was seven magic circles that could be conjured while human.

Moebius was able to easily deploy twenty magic circles simultaneously.

“You seem quite surprised. I’m sure you didn’t expect someone to be able to deploy 20 magic circles at the same time, did you? I know you’re a genius, but that’s why you know I’m out of your league, right? However, if you’ve just now realized the difference in power, you’re too slow. You can’t expect someone who was born less than 20 years ago to be a match for me, who was created to be the pinnacle of humanity and trained for 10,000 years in the Moon Din!”

Moebius swung her arm down.

“Darkness, form, ball.”

Twenty black lights formed a sphere and flew through the hall of the temple.

The floor and walls that the black light balls touched exploded.

The Babylon 8000, which failed to avoid the light ball, snapped off from the center.

“N-No way ……?”

Of all the Ortems I’ve created, the Babylon 8000 was undoubtedly the strongest in direct combat.

Its speed, power, and durability are all a step above the rest.

If it couldn’t handle it, then it would be extremely difficult to sustain a battle by making the Ortems attack together.

“Come on, Darkness, devour everything!”

Every time it was hit by a light ball, the Hydeem Magimetal shield was greatly reduced.

I’ve managed to repair it quickly and in time, but it’s not powerful enough to overcome a melee attack in parallel.

When the Hydeem Magimetal shield was hit by the fifth light ball, I felt my body shake, and then I saw my body flying through the air.

I felt a strong impact on my back.

“Gah!”

I was slammed into the ground. For a moment, I felt my breathing stop.

I twisted my body, sobbing violently, and got up, thrusting my knees into the ground.

…… The shock of the light ball’s impact that was not stopped must have been transmitted to me through the shield.

“Oops …… I almost broke Abel. Now that you’ve seen a little of my magic, have you changed your mind?”

I stood up, forcing my wand to stand on the ground and waved.

“Carry”

I conjured twelve magic circles and transferred twelve new Ortems to this spot.

“All right, my body still works …… I still have some Ortems, I can fight ……”

I muttered to myself, caught my breath, and glared at Moebius.

She looked me in the eye and licked her tongue.

“Hohoh~ …… it seems that Mea is very important to you. This girl is just like a doll that was born to be my body. You can love me because I have the same face, you know?”

I put more energy into my eyes.

When Moebius saw me, she covered her mouth and smiled.

“Fufufufu, you have a good, good expression on your face, Abel. I can’t wait to see your face crumple in resignation as you flatter me with your head. I’m getting excited now. But if you continue like this, we may never get anywhere. Can I take one of his arms, Shame?”

“…… Isn’t that enough, Abel-chan? This is not like you, Abel-chan. It’s not like you to keep fighting just to be tortured when you know there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m I’ve already explained to you that obeying me is not the same as giving up on Mea-chan, right?”

Shame, who had been watching the battle from afar, said plainly.

“Stop kidding me! I know that your words are just a convenient lie to discourage me from resisting! Are you pitying me? Do you think you’re being nice? I’m not going to let your falsehoods keep me waiting for a fruitless dream! I’ll bring Mea back, and I’ll make you disappear! And if that doesn’t happen, I’m going to disperse gracefully right here!”

“…………”

Shame looks at me in silence.

I glared back at her too.

“Le …… Leave it to me, Shame. If you want, I can shake this man very, very slowly and bring him down.”

Moebius took a step forward towards me.
