Chapter 338 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Thousand Spell Cl.u.s.ter

Souta didn’t have a time to read the quest that he received as Curdova thrust his halberd repeatedly trying to pierce his body.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Souta moved his sword quickly trying to block all of Curdova’s attack. It was so fast that he almost missed some of the attacks but luckily Saya was helping him by saying where the attack was coming from.

’This guy is an A-rank without a doubt...’ He thought as he jumped away and Curdova chased after him.

[Gravitational Ball]!!

Ten black balls appeared behind him. The black balls spun around as it changed the gravity on the area.

Boom!

Curdova stopped moving as spider web cracks formed on the floor beneath his feet. The gravity field was concentrated on him trying to push him on the ground.

Souta then slashed his sword, sending a red blade of aura.

[Cross Moon]!

"Argh!" Curdova gritted his teeth and activated one of his powerful skills.

[Greater Dominant Strength]!

Then, he gripped his halberd tightly before he thrust it forward meeting the red aura blade.

Boom!

’This guy is different from normal B-rank... He’s definitely a B-rank expert but he possessed various skills that enhanced his strength and lessened the power of opponents.’ Curdova thought as he moved his body towards Souta under the pressure of heavy gravity.

Souta continued to move away while his opponent was chasing him. He opened his other palm and another ten black balls appeared.

He scattered the ten black balls in the area and the ground turned black as several black tentacles emerged.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The black tentacles moved towards Curdova trying to bind Curdova. He tore apart the tentacles using his halberd and then he found that Souta was gone.

Hmm...?

He quickly leaped in the air while slashing his weapon behind as he felt Souta’s presence behind him.

But then... He found that Souta was gone. Instead, he faced a series of red energy blades flying in his direction.

"So tricky..." Curdova imbued his mana on his weapon and used a skill.

[Dozen Earth Piercing Strike]!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Souta appeared above Curdova and once again used [Cross Moon]. But Curdova was widening his perception using the [Wild Senses] skill so he detected Souta’s presence above him.

[Night Light Flash]!!

A black flashed forward and it landed on Souta’s right shoulder. It made a hole in his shoulder, disrupting his attack.

Souta landed on the ground and he grabbed his shoulder. ’Damn, I made a mistake... I didn’t think that he could sense me.’ He thought while breathing heavily.

"You will not be able to defeat me. You haven’t liquefied your mana and you’re hoping that you can defeat me." Curdova said as he waved his halberd and Souta’s blood on it splattered on the ground. "You will die here and the same thing will happen on your comrades that you left to my executives."

"Haa... You’re mistaking something here... None of my comrades will die here and neither I will die in this kind of place." Souta said while breathing heavily.

"Is there an A-rank among your comrades? If there is then they would have a chance to defeat my executives." Curdova paused for a moment before he added, "On the fifth floor, Gyun and Ryo are there. Ryo is a legitimate A-rank as he already liquefied the mana in his body. He’s also the second executive. And Gyun, although he’s not an A-rank, he’s still powerful among B-rank. He is the fifth executive. Without an A-rank, your comrades that you’ve left there will only die.

"On the seventh floor, there are Lina and Almer. Both of them are powerful B-rank. They are the fifth and sixth executives respectively.

"On the ninth floor, even you would die at that floor if you fought my executives there. Kan and Lim are there. Lim is the most powerful executive as he is the first. He is even stronger than me who is the leader of the Moon Tower. And Kan is the fourth executive."

"My people faced something more dangerous than your executives and do you think that your executives could match the Deadly Sins." He said with a smirk. ’Saya, let’s go!’ He said in his mind.

Suddenly, he stopped moving as he noticed that the metallic head on the center of the magic circle has its hands out on the circle.

That thing...?

"Oh, so you’ve noticed it." Curdova smiled as he slightly turned his head and glanced at the metallic head.

Right now, half of its body was out.

"This one is an ancient weapon that I’ve found while wandering in this mountain peak. I will use it to control the power of the girl. This will let me have the power to confront the True God’s Holy Kingdom." He said before he laughed loudly.

Souta narrowed his brows. The metallic figure looks like a tank-type armored suit from the Mechanic Country. But this one was felt different from the armored suits that he knew in the game.

No... If his memory was correct then he saw this one from the True God’s Holy Kingdom.

That’s right... He remembered it now.

This metallic figure was like a golem but it was one of the True God’s Holy Kingdom’s powerful weapon, the Thousand Spell Cl.u.s.ter.

Every piece comes together in his mind.

Everything made sense.

So that’s why the name Cl.u.s.ter was familiar to him. It was also the reason why she was important to the True God’s Holy Kingdom. She was, after all, an ancient weapon that was made for war.

She possessed countless spells in her body and with the help of these spells, she managed to run away from the holy kingdom.

Souta had an idea of what happened in the game.

In the game, Curdova’s plan succeeded as Cl.u.s.ter fused with the metallic figure. That’s why in the game, the weapon called Cl.u.s.ter was that metallic figure.

Despite succeeding in his plan, Curdova still suffered a defeat against the hands of the holy kingdom and took Cl.u.s.ter from his hands. But the holy kingdom didn’t have a way to separate Cl.u.s.ter from the metallic figure so they just use her as a weapon of destruction.

This was only his guessed but the chances of it being true were high.

"What did you know about it?! This is my dream!! I will take down the holy kingdom using the power that they’ve given to my daughter!!" Curdova shouted.

"Daughter...?" Souta opened his eyes widely.

"Yes, this girl was once my daughter! And I’m going to use her to defeat those bastards!" Curdova said as his mana burst out of his body.

"So you’re Cl.u.s.ter’s family, huh?" Souta muttered as he clenched his fist.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta and Curdova vanished in their position and reappeared near to each other while throwing their heavy attacks.

Boom!

"Then, why are you doing this to her?!" Souta poured his mana in his sword and used [Cross Moon] and [Crimson Moon].

Boom! Boom!

Curdova simply used his skill to offset his attack. None of his attacks managed to hit his opponents at all. The power of an A-rank was really good.

[Possession]!

He didn’t hesitate at all and used one of his ace, the [Possession] skill of the vajra sword. Crimson color energy burst out of his body. He will try his best to prevent the fusion of Cl.u.s.ter and that metallic thing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Curdova and Souta’s figures kept flickering as both of them collided dozens of times in just a second.

With the usage of the [Possession] skill, Souta could keep up with his opponent. He could also land a hit unlike before.

The two exchanged blows at high speed as they used all sorts of skills just to kill each other.

Swoosh!

Curdova appeared at Souta’s side and swept his feet, blasting the guy on the walls. He then thrust his halberd forward creating a hole on Souta’s left t.h.i.g.h.

Boom!

"Argh!!" Souta g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain as his body crashed on the walls. Blood flows out of the corner of his mouth.

"No matter how many tricks you have, you wouldn’t be able to defeat me," Curdova said to Souta. He received a few cuts on his body from clashing with Souta.

Souta wiped the blood on his mouth and said, "The same could be said to you. You couldn’t kill me."

"Killing you isn’t a problem once I’ve completed my plan." Curdova smiled and laughed.

Suddenly, the ground shook as they felt an intense energy wave.

"This... Best feram...?" Curdova and Souta instantly recognized the energy.
