Chapter 48: Breaking through the Desperate Situation
γ23:50γγDeepest part of the Sun Fortressγ
"Hehehe, hahahahaha, stupid man."
Joachim changed his usual polite appearance, and his arrogant obsession seemed to manifest on his face.
"It's ...... Wiseman's MONOCULUS! β
"Also, Brother You's chains?!"
Esther and Joshua exclaimed almost at the same time, and in the face of their incredulous panicked expressions, Joachim smiled contentedly: "Hehe, true knowledge is a medicine that maximizes the potential of the human body...... As long as you make good use of it, this kind of thing! Isn't it easy! β
Saying this, Joachim casually walked out of the encirclement of everyone, stood outside defiantly, raised his hand, and beside him, two ancient alchemy dolls, like angelic metal dolls, rushed over. Some of the dolls resemble the Tower of Hoshimi, but the shapes are more ornate and smoother. Two dolls stood by Joasim's side like bodyguards.
After completing this series of actions, Joachim became more and more unscrupulous.
"Looks like I've won. So, let you take the truth here. You will be at my mercy, so that Mistress Kia will surely fall under my hard work and return to me. Or is it just going to kill you here? β
Joachim laughed wildly, and as his body moved, the puppets around him faithfully reflected his thoughts, and the large knife on his wrist slashed at everyone at one time, and then recycled it back.
"You bastard!!"
Randy scolded angrily, but he was bound by [MONOCULUS] and [Chains], and he had no strength to break free.
"Is that what you're here for?"
Ellie's silver teeth clenched, wishing her eyes could shoot a sword.
Wiseman, the former Third Apostle of the Snake of Death. Now he has been ambushed. What he is best at is the ancient forbidden spells. And the prototype of [Demon Eye] is the ancient space system forbidden spell, which can seal the space around the person who sees the magic eye. If the space around the body is fixed, it is like a perfectly fitting mold, and the person inside cannot move at all.
And those countless chains are the chains that You Tatsumi used in the Liber Mutation back then, ancient relics that can ignore spatial movement.
Bound by these two things, everyone could only lie motionless.
Faced with the gesture of submission and uncompromising attitude of the crowd, Joachim sneered intoxicated and contented:
"Hehe, otherwise, why do you think I'm going out of my time to spend time with you idiots? Why is it spreading everyone apart? Why do you deliberately give you time to think about it? Why did you stay here and wait for you to come? It's all for Kia-sama! Hahahahaha, this! That's this stupid face! It's so fun, it's so much fun! β
In the face of his arrogant provocation, Lloyd silently spoke.
"Since you already have such strength, why are you still obsessed with Kia?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that? β
"Even if she was born five hundred years ago, she was just a little girl, right? You're already so powerful, why are you clinging to her? β
Lloyd didn't quite understand. With Joachim's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to command the entire Order. At the very least, isn't he commanding the Order now?
"Huh? Do you listen to me, and she will become the true God. Compare my strength to that of Kia-sama? Extremely stupid, the comparison itself is meaningless. β
When asked, Joachim actually put away his madness and folded his hands with a reverent expression. He looks like a perfect cultist.
Seeing him like this, Lloyd sighed and asked a second question.
"So far, I'm going to ask directly. Why did Kia appear in the Black Auction? With the level of importance you place, you can't possibly give her to anyone else. β
ββ¦β¦β
Joachim was silent. This time, he had nothing to say.
As Lloyd's question was, he himself did not know the answer.
"Let me ask you again, kill my eldest brother, Guy? Bannings' people, are you the one? β
The third question made Joachim finally move, and he returned to the original posture of the fearless culprit, condescending to look down on everyone.
"Oh? Oh oh? I see, you're the younger brother of that tricky man, huh? Hehe, he was really close to finding me at that time. So, I instructed Rubacher to kill him. However, in the end, it seems that the people who killed him were other forces, and Markney wanted to sell me a favor for this as a personal credit, but Garcia denied this, and it should not have been their doing. β
Anyway, it doesn't matter, it's not bad for them to be ghosts.
Joachim answered his question with this merciful thought.
"I see. I knew it. β
Hearing this answer, Lloyd smiled with satisfaction.
This unexpected expression made Joachim very disgusted. It always felt as if he was about to fight back.
"My eldest brother, I won't lose to someone like you!"
Lloyd's voice sounded calm and punchy.
βοΌ That's funny! β
"Kia's appearance at the auction is also unexpected for you. You can't give that kid to someone else. As the mastermind behind this, there's a lot you don't grasp. Black Moon knew early in the morning that Kia would be there. And - really wise? No kidding. It's just something that can peek into other people's memories and imitate other people's technology, how can it be wise! It's just something that has been gotten through countless stupid and cruel experiments! What wisdom is this! β
"What?!"
The words made Joasim feel furious inside, the fear of the unknown, the chaos of the future, the ignorance of the potential enemy, the indignation of being called out by this hairy boy, all the feelings were intertwined, and finally showed a tangled appearance.
Joachim wavered.
"Now, you actually want to impose your stupid and cruel delusions on Kia, I will never agree! The delusions of people like you, let us crush it! β
With Lloyd's words, the brown hair suddenly lifted, and the resolute eyes revealed strong willpower. Pierced by this god's gaze, the space around everyone was bound, and with a snap, it shattered like glass.
"What!!"
Joachim was startled, in Joshua and Estelle's memory, the [Magic Eye] of this man named Wiseman should be a forbidden spell of the space system, it couldn't have been broken so easily!
"I see, after all, it's an imitation, so once the heart is subjected to strong fluctuations, can't it be maintained?!"
Regaining his mobility, Joshua suddenly revealed the reason for Joachim's defeat.
"Bastard! You can't break free of the chains anyway! Quick, annihilate them for me! β
After some panicked command, the two figures beside Joachim quickly rushed towards the immobile crowd, and the cold wrist knife in his hand slashed down.
"You-he's--didn't-forget something!"
Rumble!
The puppet in front of it was hit hard, and it flew backwards quickly, smashing into the puppet behind it with a bang. Accompanied by an angry scolding with swear words, Vincent, who was wrapped in the fighting spirit of the flames, almost turned into a burning man, blocked everyone with a hideous face.
He glanced coldly at the chains on everyone's bodies, snorted coldly, flew up with a kick, and kicked several links with one blow. Although it is an ancient relic, after all, it is only a copy of Joachim, and now he is in a state of turmoil and unable to maintain it, so the durability of the chain is minimized.
Joachim was cornered and trembling backwards, but before him the crowd followed aggressively.
"Oops...... It's nerve-wracking. Skilled mafias and guerrillas...... In this way, you can only ......"
"What the hell are you muttering!"
Vincent shouted angrily, his eyes rolled up to reveal impatient murderous intent.
As everyone knows, seeing him like this, Joachim also smiled happily. The madness returned to him again.
"Hehe, that's it! Shouldn't I just come up with a killer feature!! β
With these words, I don't know when, Joachim already had an extra bottle of medicine in his right hand.
It was a drug that was similar in shape to Shinchi, but red.
"What! This is! β
Lloyd vaguely guessed.
"Hehe, let me tell you, this is qualified to be called true knowledge, and it is the final and finished version! Swallow these words in one gulpβ"
Joachim laughed wildly, and without waiting for them to react, he immediately opened the cap of the bottle and poured the medicine inside into his mouth without saying anything!
