Episode 122: Fighting Cyclops

Lynn was walking in the woods of the Warcraft with Atrea.

Today's goal is the first giant (Cyclops).

Lynn was on the road telling her about Theo's idea.

As Lynn expected, Atrea interested me.

"If we can indeed transport the airship inside the tower, we can operate efficiently. I never had that idea."

"Yeah. I thought I had that hand too."

"You're a smart kid. Who's Theo?"

"It is. He's a smart guy."

Lynn was as happy as she was praised when Theo was praised.

Atrea is manipulating Kentrea's wand.

The Spirit gathered well today, the number of which was already about to reach 30.

"Oh? It's a flower from Flying Fuki."

"Really. It's already the season."

"Flying Fuki" is a plant that simultaneously flies seeds with its flowers at a time when rising airflow occurs throughout the continent of Retoggia.

The blooming of 'Flying Fuki' meant that soon the airships belonging to the tower would fly around the world.

"It's almost Sailing Season."

"Is Atrea going on business again this year?

"Yeah. That's why I won't be able to come to the woods for a while"

"... well"

Lynn looked a little lonely.

Atrea makes it look bright against Lynn like that.

"I hope we can take down Hecaton Kale by the time we travel."

"... yeah"

Lynn told Ilywia to give up making the airship, but she hadn't told Atrea about it yet.

I had noticed myself being flushed.

Still wanted to be with Atrea.

(Mr. Illyweer told me oh, but I still have time. Stick to the critical)

"Is it time to split into two hands?

Lynn suggested to Atrea, who is listening to the Spirit of the Wind.

Usually they almost split up in two hands to increase enemy efficiency around here.

"Wait a minute. Hmm. That's good news."

Atrea was listening with interest to what the Spirit of the Wind had to say.

"? What's wrong?

"You don't have to split up anymore."

"What? Then..."

The first giant (Cyclops) was found.

Atrea crosses over Cheelin.

Lynn also rode behind Atrea.

"We don't have time for 'Sailing Season' anymore. I'd like to hunt Cyclops by the end of the day to hunt Hecaton Cale."

"... yeah"

Illyweer's words come back to life in Lynn's head.

When people can't stay calm, it's when they're doing things that don't fit their length.

(Still... now we're just going for a little more of the same place with Atrea)

The two waited about a hundred meters in front of the cyclops.

Height slightly over the height of the trees.

The skin was covered in smoked blue like bronze.

The atmosphere was distinctly different from that of Oak and Glendell.

He stood up as if he were a ghost.

I have a stick in my hand.

I only have one eye on my face.

Just because you have one eye doesn't mean you have a narrow vision.

Instead, its eyes were crawling endlessly with glue all over its face, allowing it to be all in sight 360 degrees without having to turn its neck.

There is a risk that it will be felt if it gets any closer.

Besides, Cyclops is said to be extraordinarily intelligent compared to Glendell.

Some of them say they use magic props.

"Lynn, the Cyclops are not what they've always been."

"Yeah."

They spoke in a hissohisso voice.

"You probably can't stop it with a force push. We need to be well prepared."

"Preparation…"

"Yes. If possible, when the Cyclops are chasing their prey, they strain the water unnoticed and attack from the blind spot. On top of that...... eh?... Yes"

Atrea frowns when the Spirit tells her something.

"? What's wrong?

"Now the Spirit of the Wind has taught us, but it looks like there are other magicians a kilometer behind us. Maybe a member of the Magrillheim."

"Magrillheim!? No way. Aim for Cyclops...?

"I guess. Looks like he's equipped with a Glendale sword. Guess I don't have time to get ready."

I said that Atrea looked a little harsh.

"We'll have to hunt before they take us. Lynn. Ready for 'Wall Painting'?

"Yeah."

Lynn had sneaked a bottle of paint into her clothes from earlier on and applied it to her body.

A tattoo-like pattern is engraved throughout the body.

Let's go, then.

Atrea touched Lynn's shoulder to share her senses.

Lynn enters the world Atrea is looking at.

(This is the world of Atrea...... I'm sure Mr. Illyweer used to use this magic too)

The magic of Atrea seemed a step higher than that of Illywia.

I can see the surroundings around the place where the two of us are, as if overlooked from above.

Hi. This seemed to be within the power of "The Cane of Kentrea".

I can see the spirits I gathered earlier drifting in my sight.

"Lynn. Can you hear me?

"Yeah."

"Then I'll tell you the operation. You'll see the cyclops, won't you? There's a pair of Magrillheims in this direction."

Atrea moves the Spirit of the Wind to show the direction.

"Yeah."

"This is the one with the river. That's why I want to draw the cyclops away from Magrillheim while I draw them to the river."

"I see."

"I really want to use the right warcraft, but unfortunately I don't have time for this. I have to expand the river, so you're stuck."

"Okay."

I can solve the magic of Atrea.

Lynn's vision went back to normal.

Cyclops is still standing up like a ghost.

Let's go, then.

Atrea puts spatial magic on Lynn.

The space around Lynn is distorted and everything avoids him.

Lynn and Atrea split into two hands and started the operation.

(Atrea is in more hurry than usual. We have to make the operation a success here at all costs)

Lynn bites her lips and approaches the cyclops quietly, but quickly.

Atrea looked back at Chirali and Lynn as she hurried Chillin.

Atrea had also noticed at Atrea how Lynn was doing differently than usual.

(Lynn. In a hurry?

I was a little worried but decided not to say anything.

Right now, I knew things would never get better by pointing it out.

(Lynn. Be careful.)

I see giant blue skin across the dense forest.

Phosphorus, protected by Atrea's spatial magic, can move forward through the slip just by jumping into a tiny gap in the dense forest.

I haven't noticed Cyclops here yet.

It was a chance to launch a pre-emptive strike.

Nevertheless, the other person is over ten meters tall.

There wasn't enough reach to pierce the heart.

Lynn cast a spell on a tall tree nearby, approaching a few meters in front of the cyclops.

"The tree! Make your way to the enemy's heart!

The tree leans itself toward the chest of the cyclops, making itself look like a palm tree.

Lynn ran up the trunk of the tree as she accelerated with 'accelerated magic'.

With some gradient or acceleration magic, you can run up without anything.

Lynn goes forward with the 'Glendell's Sword' bracketed at the end of the wand as she points it at the cyclops.

(If they don't keep noticing, they don't even have to get Atrea's help. I can stab!)

But Cyclops notices signs of Lynn in the last minute.

Without changing the orientation of the face, the first one moves to crawl through the surface of the face, stopping around the ear and pointing the phosphorus towards the ghost.

(Noticed. But... it doesn't matter!

Cyclops' heart went in between phosphorus.

Lynn tries to poke with the bracketed 'Glendell's Sword' at the end of the wand, but the cyclops glare at his upper body and twist, while slashing him with light footwork.

It was an unexpected agility not commensurate with the giant.

(removed)

Kasumi Cyclops smacks Lynn's riding Oki with a stick.

Lynn, who was trying to move a tree to slash it again, falls as she disfigured.

"Eh."

Cyclops reaches for the falling phosphorus.

A giant palm tries to envelop phosphorus.

The hand was loosely one meter long and could easily crush phosphorus.

But the hands of the cyclops slip through the phosphorus.

I can't touch Lynn because of Atrea's spatial magic.

Lynn changes her posture and lands in the air with a wand of mass pointed at her shoe.

It was the 'flying magic' that Kruga taught me.

Though I still can't fly around the air freely, I could have killed the impact and landed when I fell from high ground.

(Unintentional hitting fails. Then, as planned, guide the cyclops to where the Atrea trap is)

Lynn confronts Cyclops at a distance.

Lynn and Cyclops stay still, staring at each other for a little while.

(Come on! If you step in here inadvertently, I'll put you on the counter!

Though Lynn sets up a wand as she tries to fight, the Cyclops never attack.

Cyclops was nasty when he said he was in a combat position.

That posture has remained the same since earlier, with his arms hanging all over his cat's back.

It didn't suit that giant and didn't make me feel anything about vitality.

Lynn felt a cold sweat flowing down her cheek.

(It's not good. Keep it up and you'll have a pair of Magrillheims)

Not only that, Lynn was consuming jitters and magic because of the wall paint.

It just drains on mischief as it is.

I don't know how long Atrea's space magic will last either.

The more time passed, the more unfavourable Lynn was.

But Cyclops never works for me.

I don't make it slight just staring at Lynn with that creepy first eye.

I couldn't read any emotions out of those eyes.

Fear of the enemy, exaltation to battle, and even anger.

(I was going to induce you while doing damage at the counter...... I had no choice. Do you want to punch it out of here?)

Lynn shoots out the iron sphere by chanting 'The Magic of Substance Generation'.

The cyclops moved straight and lateral with only minimal movement so that the drawer slides from right to left.

He didn't even bend his knees and was in any unski motion.

The iron ball passes vainly by the side of the cyclops.

Cyclops continues to stare at Lynn without changing his posture in particular.

It was as if I was seeing through Lynn's impatience.

Lynn felt a bottomless fear.

It's not like the person I've been dealing with before.

Sweat floats on Lynn's forehead.

Maybe he's still someone out of his control.

(There is no latch from a distance. If this happens......, I'll do it!

Lynn cast a spell on the tree again and made him snuggle up to the chest of the cyclops.

Running up with accelerated magic.

I really wanted Atrea to carry the river this far and tie it up with phase magic, but I couldn't say luxury.

Lynn went straight from the front against an opponent nearly ten times his height, several times his reach.

Cyclops stood still as if he were dead until Lynn came in in time.

"... eh. Ahhhh."

Lynn is slashed in the arms of a cyclops with a sword.

Suddenly, Cyclops disappeared.

It goes around behind my back.

I felt wind pressure.

"Eh."

Ogi breaks in two and Lynn falls upside down.

Swing the stick in your hand toward that Lynn.

Lynn puts a stick on a piece of paper as she changes her position in "Flying Magic".

But the stick never slipped through Lynn.

I scrape Lynn's cheek and peel off the wall paint that was attached there.

(Did you hit it? Atrea's space magic is supposed to be working? Why?)

Lynn stares at the stick that put herself on.

(Atrea's spatial magic doesn't work......, no way!

It pours on what Lynn's eyes attach to the tip of the Cyclops stick.

There was a demonic stone embedded there.

(Demonic props! Can you disable spatial magic)

Lynn also takes a distance from the Cyclops to prepare for enemy attacks.

(Don't rush. As long as we direct you to the scheduled point……)

Lynn lowers back even as she tows with her sword.

Suddenly, Cyclops disappeared again.

I can barely hear the sound of knocking down the trees and moving on and swinging a stick behind them.

I can't make it when I'm looking back.

Lynn evades urgently forward with accelerated magic.

A stick is swung down in the position where Lynn was earlier, nearby trees are blown up, and the ground is decided.

(See you later. Suddenly they circle back. Whatever it takes is too fast. And the small circle..., how the hell...)

Lynn manages to see at the foot of the cyclops.

Cyclops was wearing magic shoes.

(That one! The magic shoes Luciola wore!?

Cyclops also move without sound.

Lynn was trapped in fear.

The Cyclops are more maneuverable than themselves despite their giant and offensive power.

Besides, he's wearing a 200-floor class item.

I feel pressure behind my back.

"Oh, wow, wow."

Lynn runs out to the dark clouds.

Cyclops chase.

Lynn has to stop and step on her feet once every time she changes direction, but Cyclops can change the direction of her progress without falling ill at all.

Eventually, Lynn is captured in between cyclopses.

(gets hit)

Lynn set herself up in anticipation of the attack from behind.

"Lynn! Right."

I can hear Atrea, but I couldn't afford to deal with Lynn.

The stick strikes directly at Lynn's flank.

Lynn lost her mind along with the feeling of being hit with a blunt instrument over the wall paint.

Lynn blows away as she bounces off the tree branches.

When Lynn woke up, she was lying on her back over something soft.

"This is..."

"It's a flying fuki leaf."

Atrea's voice was heard from the side.

She also sits with Cheelin on the leaves of 'Flying Fuki'.

The leaves of "Flying Fuki" were shaped like hearts and had a fluffy and soft feel.

The size of its leaves is tiny due to individual differences, but some things allow many humans to lie down.

Lynn relieves herself of that comfort, but when she remembers why she's here, she rushes to wake up.

"! Cyclops is..."

Lynn tried to get up, but couldn't get up in pain.

"Gu."

"Don't push me. I'm recovering now."

"... What about Cyclops?

"I was hunted by a pair of Magrillheims. Because it was the best I could do to get Lynn to a safe place."

"Oh well."

Lynn deposits her body in the leaves of 'Flying Fuki' again when she asks that much.

I'm sorry to hear that.

"... yeah"

Suddenly, I hear a wolf squeal.

"What's that..."

"That sounds like a warewolf. It's late at night."

The area was glowing orange with an Atrean incendiary fire.

The book of the night is completely down.

"I have to go home now"

……

"My master will piss me off"

"Yeah."

Lynn deposited herself on Cheelyn's back with her face full of pain that still didn't subside.

(Cyclops. You wanted to knock me down...)

"Damn."

(…… Lynn)

Lynn clutches Atrea's shoulder clutching unconsciously.

Atrea was aware of that, but kept flying without saying anything.
