Friendship? (6)
1.
Having used up all her mana, Sharon couldnt contribute much to the situation.
Actually, Siwoo had to shield her from a swarm of Homunculi. If anything, she was a detriment here.
Aside from those two ordeals, he also had to prepare for the oncoming decisive attack by the Mother Homunculus that was still struggling to climb the building from its side.
Thus, he had to deal with three ordeals at once.
But, he had faced similar experiences numerous times prior to this.
In a situation where he could not back down, the mana that he had accumulated bit by bit always ensured the success of his plans.
But now, all he could rely on was his own strength.
Step back a little!
He yelled at Sharon while thrusting his shadow spear with all his might.
Sharon knew that she couldnt help him at all.
That was why she had to deal with the frustration of watching Siwoo fight while keeping her guard up.
Now she regretted her decision to deplete her mana so hastily. Had she not done that, she might have been able to offer him some help.
H-Hang in there, Siwoo!
Ultimately, all she could do was just to offer him verbal support.
Meanwhile, Siwoo thrusted his spear in an odd angle, piercing two charging Homunculi, all while striking another Homunculus that appeared from the side with his shield.
Despite both of his hands each doing different actions, his movements flowed smoothly without any signs of awkwardness.
Bloom!
At the same time, he amplified his mana.
Through the Mystic Eyes on his left, he absorbed mana from his surroundings before amplifying it.
He did this repeatedly.
From a normal standpoint, what he was doing was dangerous.
The act of amplifying mana would generate some noise so it had to be executed with utmost caution and precise calculations.
Otherwise, the noise would mix with the mana, causing his magic circuits to short-circuit, and inflicting severe internal injuries on him.
At the very least, this wasnt something that one should do while moving around.
However, amplifying mana and suppressing those noises were among Siwoos areas of expertise.
He had honed these skills during his time as a slave, back when he had to develop various ways to cast large-scale spells without storing any mana.
Ah
Meanwhile, Sharon could only stare anxiously at this perilous spectacle, feeling as though she was watching an astonishing acrobatic performance.
Her helplessness had momentarily disappeared, replaced by amazement by this incredible sight.
With each passing moment, his amplified mana grew denser, matching even the density of Sharons mana in her prime.
But, amplifying mana wasnt the extent of Siwoos expertise.
He immediately turned those amplified mana into shadows.
An enormous quantity of shadows began accumulating on the rooftop where they stood.
These shadows had a different appearance than usual.
If previously it had fine particles to the point that they seemed like smoke, now they were denser and heavy like sand.
Argh!
At that moment, a Homunculus sank its teeth into his arm, but he repelled it by swinging his shield.
Its fangs pierced his armor, causing a sharp pain spread up to his forearm.
Evidently, performing such calculations during combat hindered his capabilities.
But, it wasnt like he had any other choices.
Despite the risks involved, he had no choice but to gamble with his life.
He drew out shadows using his amplified mana, a reckless act.
They were the aforementioned different kinds of shadows.
Denser than mercury, heavily compressed like iron.
He maximized its weight by combining it with the Earth Element.
Just like when he utilized his shadows into wings or when he strengthened his whole body with the armor.
He focused on solely adding weight without thinking about complicated matters.
The heavy shadow gradually expanded on one side of the rooftop.
At a glance, this action seemed meaningless.
The abundance of mana and the ability to control them were two separate issues.
Even if he managed to amplify the mana and replicated such shadows, he could hardly make effective use of them.
At best, he could only make it so that the shadows wouldnt dissipate.
However, this was only part of his preparation for the hidden ace up his sleeve.
-Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, the building shook violently,
The cause was the Mother Homunculus, hanging halfway up the building after leaping from afar.
Because of that, the building swayed, as if caught in an earthquake, tilting to the side, like the leaning tower of Pisa.
S-Siwoo! More of them are coming! The building might collapse!
Sharons face paled as she witnessed hundreds of Homunculi swarming towards them.
She felt like they were being caught in a downpour of those creatures.
Ugh
No, Siwoo! You cant just die now!
As Siwoo let out a groan, lying on the ground as if on his deathbed, Sharon let out tears of worry.
Even his spirit body couldnt endure such a harsh condition.
Im not actually dying Just let me lie down For five minutes
H-Here. Lie down here.
Sharon kneeled on the floor, gently lifting Siwoos head onto her thighs.
No, its fine. I dont want to hurt your knees.
Dont mind that! I couldnt do anything back then, so at least let me do this!
She said, her eyes filled with tears.
And so, he accepted her knee pillow without protesting any further. Besides, he knew that she hated to owe anyone anything, and he also didnt have the energy to argue.
Look at what youve been through
It was tough, but at least you were there with me
If you hadnt carried me and fearlessly rushed through the middle of the building, I would become prey to those creatures.
When we jumped into that building, if you didnt catch me, Id have been dragged down to the ground, so, thank you.
They both praised each other for their contribution during the hunt.
But, both of them knew that Siwoo was the one who contributed the most.
From the moment they escaped from the collapsing department store, fled from the pursuing monster, discovered its identity, and dealt the final blow, all of them were done by Siwoo alone.
He felt embarrassed to brag about his own achievements, though.
And he also knew that he was quite lucky that things turned out successfully.
Lying comfortably, he felt the gentle raindrops tapping on his cheeks.
He took in the pleasure in the accomplishment that came out of his perfectly executed plan.
The thrill of analyzing the enemys capabilities, devising strategies against them and watching all of them succeed was an indescribable joy to him.
This rush of adrenaline felt both overwhelming and enthralling.
I feel like Im losing my mind for a moment there
Huh?
Oh, dont mind me.
Siwoo glanced briefly at the remnants of the building that became the Homunculis tomb.
Among the rubble were large concrete chunks, twisted metal bars, unidentifiable debris and smoke billowing from within.
Scattered in the wreckage were the pups, the same creatures that once tormented the pair, now either whimpering their death throes or lying in pieces. Such a satisfying sight that signified their hard-earned victory.
-Grrr!
Ah, cmon Cant you just wait a little longer?
However, such peace didnt last long.
The buildings remnants trembled and the stacked concrete chunks began to tumble down.
Beneath them, the Homunculus was trying to get out.
That wasnt enough to kill it?
Despite taking such a great fall and getting buried under heaps of debris, somehow, the Mother Homunculus was still alive.
Siwoo expressed his amazement at its amazing resilience.
Siwoo! Get on my back!
Now, he regretted his decision for not making a swift escape when he could.
As he wallowed in that regret, Sharon swiftly lifted his body.
I can manage on my own.
He stumbled as he tried to escape, but he abruptly halted his steps.
-Grrr
At that moment, the Homunculus emerged as it pushed the largest piece of rubble aside.
With a glance, it was clear that its appearance was different than before.
All of its feet except for a single front paw were severed. The glowing red eyes in its body were destroyed, and black liquid covered all over its body.
The sound that it let out wasnt a deafening howl anymore, but a death throe of a dying beast.
Great, so it worked, after all.
We cant retrieve its crystal with it in this state, though.
Breaking free from Sharons support, Siwoo created a spear made of shadow.
He made it as sharp as possible and pointed it at the Homunculus head.
Its head was as big as a mid-sized sedan, so he could see why it could survive such a great impact.
And he also noticed something.
Four pairs of eyes that hadnt lost their glow on its head.
With an eerie gaze, the creature stared directly at its would-be killer.
This is your fate for coming at me.
While it felt immoral to attack a non-resisting opponent, this creature had devoured humans, wreaked havoc across the city and attempted to make Sharon and him its prey.
So, he aimed his spear at the center of its head before thrusting it deeply.
