Antgram Paladins

the barrier that separates them

60 Minutes earlier.

In a room made with luxury where the walls are decorated with red cloth and torches made of glass.

There are 3 people here, of which the three are Ouja van iouun, Rouenji, and Torano albami.

"That's it, we'll start the plan huh?"

"The special event is coming to an end, I don't want to waste too much time"

"Well, about the prisoner from the random party we held this morning?"

"Hmm? Uh? They? .... do as you please"

Ouja said with a little remembrance of them, giving permission to Torano to do as he pleased.

"Thank you very much, captain"

Torano chuckled the little thing where seeing that Roenji just stared with a look of disdain.

"Crazy man"

Rouenji's small murmur where afterwards, Torano bowed his head towards Ouja and went back outside the room.

"It's funny with a real person to be a god, his mind is such a joke that I can't even understand his sense of humor, but he's useful, at least I'll use it"

Ouja said with her cynical smile where Roenji nodded to agree.

At present.

Torano was sitting staring at the sun that was about to set, and right behind him was Ellie handcuffed to a cross-shaped pillar.

But as it would be troublesome for him to break Ellie's finger, so Torano dropped Ellie to the ground while still letting her legs and arms be cuffed to the stone cross.

"Hmm .. 10 minutes have passed"

Torano exhaled in disappointment, then he started to stand up and walked slowly towards Ellie.

Ellie's current state was very bad, it wouldn't even be strange if she would go crazy because of the torture she was subjected to.

Losing your mind is bad for humans.

Torano bowed towards her, staring at Ellie's face covered by her hair, there was no guilt, but rather an obligatory feeling by which she had to do that.

She takes Ellie's left arm, and without hesitation, she breaks the ring finger, - crack - at the same time, Ellie regains her consciousness.

Spread her eyes and start screaming.

"Aaarfgrrrrkkk"

Far away where they were still fighting, Ellie's scream was enough to leave their ears, and hearing that made Shopia stop her steps.

And gazing towards the direction the voice sounded with wide eyes.

"That's Ellie's voice ...."

Shopia's sad murmur where her mind even stops here.

(10 minutes .. 10 minutes? Then ... These broken monsters don't even show symptoms of their reduction in numbers)

One of those monsters jumped in and tried to attack Chelsea, but it was bad for him, because Chelsea were in a bad mood.

He dodged by twisting his body, then with his sword he slashed the monster's neck and deftly pulled the hair on the monster's head that was floating in the air.

Stare at him with a full annoyed look.

(Is the key in the riot?)

The one who summoned this monster was Torano, about the number of these monsters that were not even depleted despite having killed some of them.

In his harsh mind he did not even care when the monster came running his blood, but was lucky because Sheilla came and stabbed the monster right in his heart.

Pulling back his sword and breathing heavily.

"Shey"

"Hmm?"

"Are you able to handle this here with shopia?"

"Huh?"

###

The sound of iron friction was heard several times, where in the early room, Juliy was facing a fight against Areash.

Now Areash understands that fighting Juliy with magic is useless because Juliy has a deep security to all the magic that is telegrammed.

So that's why he decided to fight Juliy only with a sword weapon here where Juliy served him.

Juliy changed the grip of his black dagger by throwing it into his left hand, as he licked his own lips with his tongue out of excitement, he began to advance in front of Areash.

Responding to that, Areash bowed and came forward with staying into a defensive position.

Fending off Juliy's slash, Areash begins to want to give Juliy an attack, but Juliy avoids it by subduing his body down.

Twisting his body as he kicked Areash, it was Areash's last cut despite not having enough strength to hold on.

So Juliy easily kicked Areash until it knocked him slightly away, and Juliy salted back to widen their position.

Areash hit the wall and let himself fall, exhaling several times.

(When his slash disappears? Does it have a specific duration?)

Areash was in his alert position, starting to try to get up slowly while being wary of Juliy's movements.

He gripped the wall firmly in hiding, seeing that it made Juliy a little surprised and made a defensive position.

Where after that, Areash opened his mouth and recited a spell.

"Syrius"

Light comes out where Juliy widens her by trying to turn her body and run away.

But after he looked back to see the situation, it was already too late.

It widened and caused a huge explosion with a loud noise where everyone stopped moving after hearing the sound of the explosion.

Destroying the rocks or the word obliterates more precisely this, coinciding with this electricity out and also destroys the surrounding area.

"Hahaahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahhah"

Someone laughed crazily where it looked like Areash.

Shortly after that the explosion shrank to the point where strong winds were drawn to that point.

"What what the fuck?"

Here Chelsea stopped running at the sight of the huge explosion, a stroke of luck because he was not in reach of the blast.

(That spirit ... juliy?!)

Williard and Larisa stare in shock, but Jacob seizes the opportunity and kicks Larisa with heavy force.

Where Larisa realized the kick was picked up the last second before it hit her and she was not even given time to give any more reaction than that.

The kick hit Larisa's stomach and threw her away where it made Larisa vomit blood when it hit the wall until it cracked.

"Lisa!!"

Williard shouted frantically but his attention was diverted by Jacob trying to punch him, Williard holding the fist.

"Don't distract you when the fight goes on, trash"

Jacob smiled cynically then pulled back his left hand where he twisted his body and tried to kick Williard.

Williard avoided it by bending his body backward and then after that he kicked his hand and rushed from that place towards Larisa.

"Oi, larisa! You okay?!"

"O-oh .. that's it"

Overwhelmed, Larisa tries to stand where Williard helps by holding her back.

"Hold on in a minute, the captain and the others will be there soon"

Hearing that made Larisa stare with a tired face and sigh.

"Can you not say irresponsible words?"

"uh? You mean?"

Larisa stood up by adjusting the balance of her legs and scratched her head due to a question from Williard.

"Geez, I was able to get here first because I ran, I left all the members behind and got here first, and when I entered this city, a strange barrier appeared, 1 Second late maybe I won't be able to go inside"

"H-huh? So you mean?"

"The other members are still outside because they can't enter the city because of the barrier"

"..... seriously?"

###

Outside the city where the other members were standing with bewildered faces.

Tamara was touching the translucent barrier with her delicate hands.

"Free .. This is a strong barrier"

Everything responds with disappointment, and Nezuon tries to think here, a strong barrier does not mean it is indestructible.

"How long does it take to destroy this barrier?"

Tamara responded with a wry smile.

"1 hour"

Hearing that made all of them faint and swallowed their own saliva.

(Even tamara takes 1 hour to destroy her? It's troublesome)
