...****************...
"Why! You are! Nah! Die up! Only!! "
Noelle resentfully thrust her sword many times at Barsio's chest, sending a terrifying amount of blood gushing out incessantly.
Barsio did nothing to protect himself. She could only let Noelle hole her chest continuously.
Finally, Noelle pulled her sword back from Barsio's chest, and created a fist-sized hole there.
Barsio had intended to withdraw, but Noelle did not let him.
A claw made of Noelle's blood appeared and held her head so that she could not move, and Noelle then took out two paper balls containing clumps of gunpowder.
The two paper balls were his last bombshell. He had already spent most of the bomb just to distract Barsio before.
Given that Noelle had previously confidently said that it was enough to kill Barsio, it could be said that this was a failure.
Noelle without saying anything else directly stuffed one of the paper balls into the hole created in Barsio's chest, and another was inserted into his mouth which was forcefully opened by Noelle's blood claws.
As soon as she finished putting it all in, Noelle then plugged a hole in Barsio's chest using a dry cloth, and forcefully locked Barsio's mouth so that he could not open it again.
Noelle jumped back, and activated fire magic using her blood as a medium, which would then burn all that gunpowder.
Immediate explosions occurred in Barsio's chest and mouth, destroying parts of his body in a very terrible way.
Barsio's lower face was shattered, and his neck was also torn. It was truly a very terrible sight.
Cryll and Norman even took a few steps back after witnessing the brutal scene that Noelle had just done.
Despite that, Barsio did not appear to be dead. He still stood up with difficulty and tried to attack using his spear.
Because of his own blood, the gunpowder that was on the bomb inside him was absorbing all the moisture so as to dampen the level of the explosion to be much smaller.
Barsio's shoulder was only slightly injured, but he was still able to swing his weapon freely.
Barsio again stuck his spear into the ground, and took out several other spears around Noelle, Cryll and Norman.
"Suckers! The time is over! "
Noelle exasperatedly swung Langen with all her might, and crushed all those spears. He did not waste any more time, directly advancing with his killing intent directed entirely at Barsio.
Noelle gave a slash horizontally towards Barsio's neck, but Barsio held it back with his spear blade.
Even though his body was in a miserable state, he could still exert a lot of strength on his grasp.
However, Noelle now found her gap.
Barsio always focused on protecting his head. Even he seemed indifferent when his body had been destroyed, he was still trying to protect his own head.
Noelle widened her smile, then shouted at Cryll and Norman.
"I suspected! Attack head! "
Without asking for any further explanation about it, Norman fired several magic bullets at Barsio's head, which Barsio then avoided by tilting his head.
Cryll took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a stab using his sword, but the spear that grew right before him prevented him from delivering the attack.
Noelle pushed her sword and made a slight distance between herself and Barsio. He stuck Langen to the ground, and created a sword of similar shape and size using his blood.
Without removing the smile on her face, Noelle immediately ran forward and gave Barsio some slashes.
Barsio avoided some, but could not avoid the latter. He was hit by Noelle's slash, and had wounds from his left shoulder to his waist.
As if dissatisfied, Noelle instantly changed the shape of her sword into a spiked whip, and swung it wildly at Barsio.
He still clearly remembered Charlotte's fighting style using the whip sword, so he tried to reproduce her fighting style using a spiked whip.
As a result, Noelle's blood whip landed on Barsio's skin, until it wrapped around his body.
The thorn in the whip instantly extended, becoming like a blade so sharp that it dug into Barsio's body with great ease.
Noelle's blood was now in solid form, so she didn't have to worry that Barsio's body would neutralize her blood. He could freely torture her with this method.
Cryll and Norman also did not remain silent. The two of them prepared with their respective weapons, and instantly gave out an attack while Barsio was still being held back by Noelle's blood whip.
Cryll lowers the lightning in Barsio's place, which Norman then overtakes by firing a few magic bullets right into his head.
Despite that, Barsio was still fine.
It seems to take more effort to defeat him with just that.
The wounds on Barsio's body began to heal, and his mouth had returned just like before. Finally, he could say the sentence he had wanted to say.
"You ... You son of a bitch! "
A huge surge of magic energy flowed out very profusely from Barsio's body. The whip that was holding his body started to return to its liquid form, and the wounds on his body almost recovered completely.
Barsio quickly raised his spear and swung it in the air, creating a gust of wind so sharp that it might be able to cut through a large piece of wood.
"Now! "
Noelle shouted, and made Cryll and Norman move immediately to follow her.
Noelle ran forward while pulling Verstand out, and controlling several swords at once, while beside her Cryll appeared with a body completely covered by Geist's skeleton armor.
Eventually, the three manage to get close to Barsio and land each of them.
Noelle gave a horizontal slash across her stomach, cutting her body in half. Norman swung Aligma's picket blade and managed to cut off one of his arms, and Cryll used Geist's sword to deliver a puncture, as well as a slash in Barsio's joints.
Barsio's current state of body did not allow him to move, but he had such incredible regeneration speed that Noelle and the two men with him could not stop attacking for even a second.
Noelle repeatedly slashed Barsio's body, and kicked him upwards. He then threw Verstand to Cryll who had jumped to match his position with Barsio.
Cryll catches Verstand, which Noelle throws, and throws her own sword into Barsio's chest.
He then prepared to fall while giving a straight slash towards Barsio's neck using Verstand.
Norman gives his support by firing magic bullets at Barsio, so Barsio stays longer in the air due to the shock impact of his magic bullet collision.
Each of the swords Noelle had previously controlled had Noelle set up manually at the point where Barsio would fall. So, if Barsio fell in a supine position like this, he would definitely instantly get some swords that stuck and pierced through his body.
Unfortunately, Cryll was unable to decapitate Barsio. That was because Barsio had been on standby using his own hands which he coated with a hard metal plate to protect his neck.
In addition to its superiority that can give its users the power to control things, Verstand is just an ordinary sword. Its level of sharpness might be equivalent to an expensive sword that many people could afford as long as it had money.
Perhaps that was why, the sword did not have enough penetrating power to cut through everything it touched.
But that's enough.
Cryll pulls Verstand, and stomps on Barsio's body, while Noelle increases his weight using gravity magic. Cryll hastened Barsio's downfall.
And just as Noelle had planned. Barsio fell down on his back, having several swords piercing through his body.
One of those swords even pierced right through his neck. Barsio could not say anything, he could only open and cover his lips many times before he finally gritted his teeth firmly.
Noelle won't let her free herself again. So, Noelle immediately took back Langen and gave a slash that separated all of Barsio's limbs, including his head.
The cut section is then seen ticking, and growing a disgusting lump of flesh to reconnect itself with the separated limb.
"Now! "
Norman shouted, replacing Noelle, and the three of them moved simultaneously.
Norman thrust Aligma into Barsio's head, followed by Noelle who also stabbed Langen and Verstand, while Cryll used two Geist swords to give an additional stab there.
Barsio's eyes seemed to glow for a moment, before finally losing all traces of his life.
"Hah ... Hah ... What ... He died? "
A few seconds of excitement passed. None of them dared to pull out their weapons.
For a while, they only let their weapons stick in Barsio's head.
A second later, Barsio's skin began to change. From the previous organic skin is slightly brownish like normal humans, slowly blacken like charcoal that is burned out.
Noelle, Cryll, and Norman watch the incident up close, and are confused by it.
" … Have you ever seen anything like this? " ask Noelle.
Both Norman and Cryll simply shook their heads without taking out a word.
Finally, Barsio's skin had completely blackened. His body was slowly turned into ashes, leaving behind a small crystal that appeared after his head had been reduced to ashes completely.
The crystal was a crystal that emitted a faint light, and was the size of a grown man's grasp, with every single piece of it having been destroyed by the prick of a weapon. Perhaps it was the crystal they destroyed when they thrust their weapon at Barsio's head.
"What is ... Core? "
" … I guess," Noelle said, nodding.
He took the crystal, and watched it closely.
"This is not a magic crystal, so he is not the same as a monster .. What is this? The sensation of his energy .. Feels very familiar, but I don't know him … "
Noelle tried to dig into her memory, but still could not find the information behind her curiosity.
"You guys really never see this? "
"No."
"So is I."
Cryll and Norman shook their heads at Noelle's question, and answered almost simultaneously.
"Then ... I'll save it for me to check later .. Maybe my acquaintances know something."
Of course, the acquaintance that Noelle meant was Harold, who gave all the information about this place to her.
Noelle intended to put the crystal into her spatial storage. However, just as he wanted to do that, the light coming out of the crystal instantly disappeared, and the crystal itself instantly turned into dust, not remaining in the slightest.
" " " ……… " " "
The three in disbelief stared at the pile of dust that was in Noelle's palm, and continued to be silent before Noelle finally spoke while shrugging both of her shoulders.
"I think that's the best."
