chapter 30
30 – Promotion
Cheap!
There was a gas leaking noise, and white smoke filled the area around the non-eunhyeon.
‘What’s the goal of that action?’
Armand counted.
If the purpose was to get close, it would at least radiate smoke around itself.
Did you do that simply to hide? If that was the case, it was in vain.
The sights of the summoned knights are linked to the caster. Even now, Armand was in a state of being able to capture Bi Eun-hyeon’s movements from various angles.
Chunlim has strict firearms regulations, but the police always use real guns and special bullets imbued with spiritual energy. It was because there was no way to defeat the Awoken without using that.
By the way, there are quite a few heroes who use firearms.
In Armand’s eyes, it was neither cowardly nor particularly strange that Bi Eun-hyeon took out a gun.
I just hoped to show a better performance with that. I could end it like this, but then there would be no gain from the opponent.
It was a time when I spit out arrogant thoughts. A small iron ball was reflected in the vision of all the knights connected to Armand.
Jijik! It started to glow and burn.
“…… Glare!”
Armand recognized its intention. Immediately, he tried to cut off the sight that had linked him to the knight, but it was too late.
“Ugh!”
I can’t keep my balance.
I stumbled back and forth.
My eyes are about to burn.
I felt a strong burning sensation.
I couldn’t see anything at the same time.
It was because the flash of light put a strain on the optic nerve and temporarily took away my vision.
“Keugh.”
It is said that it is possible to share senses with a summoned beast, but the main sight has always been Armand’s naked eye.
As usual, I would never fall for such low-level means. However, because Bi Eun-hyeon hid himself through smoke, he focused entirely on the knight’s vision. This was the result of a setback.
I took out the bishop piece from my chest and scattered it on the ground.
Bishops specialize in defense and support. I need to summon this and buy some time for sight to recover……
Shuuuk, Tak!
Under the right foot. Something hit the ground.
―Beep beep beep…… !
That thing that made an ominous noise and roared loudly was a bomb with a 100% probability.
“…… Great.”
The attack is connected without hesitation without giving a chance to counter. In this spot, the prey was himself, and the hunter was him.
Armand hurriedly threw himself to the left. He did a few laps and dropped himself as best he could.
Armand is an Awakener. He doesn’t even get hurt by a moderate bomb. However, the firearm that Bi Eun-hyeon handled was an artifact.
The object was launched from there. It was judged to be more powerful than a normal bomb. That’s what I was trying to avoid.
Even that was a misjudgment.
The bomb, which roared loudly until just before it exploded, sighed when it exploded… As they walked, they made a noise that was not even like firecrackers.
It was a very good catch.
“…… Under!”
Armand stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
“I will be promoted to queen.”
And at Bi Eun-hyeon’s declaration from the other side, I felt that the situation was screwed up.
There is a fatal flaw in the ability of a pawn object that restricts actions so that it can only move one step at a time.
If the opponent belongs to the same row, a promotion option is given. If ‘Queen’ is selected here, the limitation of one step disappears, and the overall physical is also raised.
It’s like putting a buff on the enemy you have to deal with.
Armand also knew that, so wherever Bi Eun-hyeon moved, he kept his eyes on the front and refused to give up his line.
‘Rather, he made a prediction from such an unnatural appearance.’
Armand thought that Eunhyeon Bi predicted the flaws of chess makers with genius analytical skills. Otherwise, there would be no reason to make such a premeditated move.
Bee Eun-hyeon became much stronger than usual after being promoted to queen. He wielded a stiletto and a triple stick, and in an instant smashed the knights who were struggling.
“Look!”
At Armand’s cry, a giant with a tower-shaped head rose above the ground.
I reached out my huge hand and tried to grab the approaching enemy. But to no avail.
Bee Eun-hyeon was now a queen.
She easily surpassed Rook’s mobility.
“Bishop!”
Armand shouted again. Two bishops appeared wearing the sacred priestly outfits. He slashed the holy spear on the ground, forming a huge shield in space.
Bee Eun-hyun, who leaped into the sky, was holding a bazooka.
With a normal bazooka, he can’t break through Bishop’s shield. But what if it’s a bazooka with the aura of an Awakener enhanced by the Queen?
Quaaang-!
A strong rupture caused a fire, forming a thick black fog in the space. There was a human figure squeezing in between them. It was Bieunhyun.
The Bishop’s defense shield was unable to withstand the Queen’s bazooka and shattered in vain.
All that was left was a distance of about 5m.
The eyes of two people facing each other cross.
The emotions reflected in each other’s eyes were opposite.
One felt defeat and the other felt victory.
From the replay video of her entrance exam before Armand went looking for her non-eunhyeon, she carefully analyzed all her test records related to it.
Complimentary physical and amazing recovery ability to make potions.
It sure was great, but that was it.
At that level, there are countless more excellent guys, including myself. Being ranked first in the entrance exam was due to luck. This was Armand’s decision at the time.
So he said that there must have been a trick in seeing through Baek-gwang, and he came to share the method.
It was all wrong.
You were right when you said you saw and predicted. That was skill.
My teeth are grinding.
I was too conceited.
Still, there is a means to reverse this situation.
Typically, there was castling, which reversed the look and location of the summoner, and it was good to summon a queen or activate a gambit. Because it can inflict a curse as strong as that of a piece of equipment on the opponent.
However, using something like that here in the first place is a defeat. It’s too much to use in training.
Armand resisted no more.
“… It is my defeat.”
He hadn’t touched any part of his body yet, but he admitted that he had lost. Apart from that, it was not easy to cool the feelings of resentment.
Shaking with humiliation, Armand took a ring from her pocket and threw it. Bi Eun-hyeon snatched it right away.
“That is the sentence allowed to me in Dalter.”
In the crest engraved on the ring, nine gold bars were piled up in a pyramid shape, and the sun was drawn above them.
The sun tells us that Armand is the lineage of the family head, and the nine gold bars tell us his position in the family.
A member of the family is usually engraved with 2-4 gold ingots. The main characters in part 6 were also collateral, so there were only two of them.
When you think about it, the 9 gold bars are definitely a big deal. Because it means the position after the family head.
“As long as you have it, you can borrow Dalter’s power. It would be possible to ask for something from the clan. Because it’s my sentence. However, the number is 3 times. Within that limit, use it as you like. You’ve proven your worth to me.”
“I will use one now. Please keep carrying it.”
“What?”
Bee Eun-hyeon threw a glass bottle.
“…… This?”
Armand turned the elixir, which emits an ugly purple color, back and read the medication guide.
[Temporary injury retardant.]
『Efficacy: Delays the user’s physical shock.
Before you get stabbed, take it before you get shot!
It takes at least one minute for the effect to take effect. Don’t blame yourself for being late.
If you’ve been properly medicated, you won’t suffer any damage from being attacked, but that doesn’t make you invulnerable.
It may vary from person to person, but usually 5 to 10 minutes later, the shock returns and a wound occurs. In the meantime, use a potion or other recovery method to make it completely unscathed.
Caution: The following side effects may occur. Headache, nausea, delirium, hair loss.
Even if the above side effects occur, we do not take any responsibility.』
This was a special elixir developed by Dirakit at the request of Bi Eun-hyeon after five years of failure.
Most alchemists are created in a way that they would not dare to dare to do, so they could not be mass-produced even with Dirakit’s genius talent. There are only 6 bottles in the warehouse.
If you consider the efficacy of delaying certain death, it was worth calling.
The reason I just handed it over was, of course, that I wanted Armand to survive.
He killed all the villains from the original work, but he died in vain from excessive blood loss.
To prevent destruction, even one more strong hero is needed.
‘I want to follow and save him, but.’
Bee Eun-hyeon, who had read many creative works, knew very well that such behavior could easily be misunderstood. So, he chose this way.
But Armand has no idea of the value of this elixir or the fact that he will die.
“…… Tsk, to give a loser a present like this. Did I even look weak? I get it. Let me keep it.”
I left in a hurry, feeling only bitter feelings.
***
Three days later.
Armand was attacked by a villainous organization that had a great grudge against the family of Dalter. In the process, he used an elixir to save his life.
“Now you are here.”
I became his dearest friend.
Dalter is one of the richest families in the world.
To put it another way, it is possible to do very legal money f*cking.
First of all, I rented a battle cruiser lightly.
