Chapter 395: Fall of Magic (1)

After the official announcement by the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the users panicked.

– Oh shit. destruction?

-lol. Wow, look at the real management. I’m really out of my mind

– But is that possible? Aren’t you the only one who put money into this game?

– Do you want common sense in this company? I really don’t know what will happen.

Arcadia has already been deeply rooted throughout the world. If this world were to perish, the damage would not be limited to a few people simply immersed in the game.

-What about gold? It has just been defined as an official currency all over the world, so are you thinking of ruining it like this?

-You mean the service will end if it perishes? Or are you doing a reset?

-DDD….. Is this the beginning of Arcadia Season 2?

In this regard, all kinds of speculation and excitement are rampant. However, through the announcement from Arpendia, it was clear that this situation was not a joke.

[Stop the invasion of large-scale event mechanical civilization.]

Arfandia, the official community of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and a communication channel.

The large notice hanging there, the size of a gate, seduced users with an enormous reward.

-what is this….? The reward given according to the contribution is… At least Epic level or higher…?

-If you catch 1000 combat drones, you’ll get a legendary grade item…?

– Arcadia Special Recruitment Ticket?? Are you out of your mind…? Is this crazy…?

-lol. Have you ever seen these kids really desperate? What are you really going to do?

-You said that the in-game system has no real authority, so you’re not kidding?

Although small announcements are made regarding the events taking place within Arcadia, since there has never been a full publicity campaign with such an enormous reward, a strangely excited atmosphere began to arise among the people.

“So… you’re saying that if you meet a certain level according to your contribution, you will be given the privilege to join Arcadia Co., Ltd.?”

“If I do this well… I’m sure I’ll be able to get a job at the dream job I’ve been hearing about…?”

“Is there no age limit…?”

Arcadia Co., Ltd. is revered as a dream job for job seekers due to the highest level of annual salary and unparalleled employee welfare benefits. Many people fell into a vain delusion about the fact that the closed and narrow place was provided, and competitively accessed the game and ran toward the Japanese continent.

“Ooooh! Arcadia’s special employee is me!”

“No more, no less, just one legendary item!”

“compensation! event! compensation! event!”

Adventurers who don’t know if it’s the destruction of Arcadia or what it is, and rush at it blinded by the reward. It wasn’t long before they lost their group and encountered a combat drone that appeared to be wandering around.

“Here is one!”

“what? This… looks like an octopus…?”

A drone in a state where it is not a young horse, as if it has already been in a battle. Looking at it, users said, What is this rice cake? With a smile on his face, he started running.

“The last hitter is the owner!”

“oh! Where is that!”

“Cheet…! Fireball!”

Starting with a swordsman charging with a huge sword, a wizard and a thief threw magic and daggers from afar. Attacks to catch drones and collect contributions were pouring in here and there, but the drones did not panic at all.

[Detection of organisms.]

Wee Ying.

An octopus-like machine with eight tentacles. Those who watched the users by stretching and adjusting the camera attached to the body soon began to calculate all of them as they saw the attacks flying at them.

[Check the expected attack direction….. Activating the evasion protocol.]

The aircraft Hunter was born only for combat and obliteration.

A vast amount of data acquired from countless battle experiences with organisms fighting against the Gestalt’s mechanical civilization and an updated combat algorithm in the integrated information neural network with colleagues fighting far away at this moment are calculated. Mounted on the , he was the most skilled fighter that no one could follow.

Jiying.

Kaaaaaang.

“What is it…?”

“I can’t believe it… avoiding all of that…?”

“This is nonsense… what was that movement just about…?”

Users thought that it would be okay to attack even if it was roughly 2m in size. However, in that short time, most of the attacks were evaded or defended, and I was shocked to see the aircraft that looked relatively intact. And… the first user holding the great sword shouted with a face stained with embarrassment.

“What! This… why is it so hard?”

His blow, filled with aura, cut through even the hardest steel like tofu. Strangely, however, the drone’s metallic tentacles that blocked his attack perfectly blocked the attack without leaving a scratch.

Woo woo woo.

A very weak shield that blocks his sword. The drone, which blocked the attack with minimal energy, soon launched a counterattack.

[Activate battle mode.]

Giying. clap.

Sharp blades protruding from the remaining 7 tentacles.

And as soon as those 7 arms started dancing, the smell of blood began to fill the area.

[No biological response of the organism. Purification complete.]

A drone that killed dozens of users single-handedly in an instant and checked the surroundings.

After confirming that it had completed the order, it flew casually into the air and began returning to the base.

to purify another organism.

* * *

[Ha….. This really hits me harder than I thought…..]

Machines far more powerful than I expected. Jack, who watched the conflict with the adventurers closely, soon realized that there was no chance of winning with the usual method.

[Wow, they fight so well… To be honest, winning against 24 people alone is a bit over the line, isn’t it?]

Although they were mid-level users with an average level of about 150, they were decent adventurers enough to do their share for one person. However, Jack continued to grumble as he was forced to log out while suffering a one-sided massacre that could not be called a proper battle.

[I can’t help it. It is nearly impossible to defeat them with normal physical attacks and melee combat. It’s all about buying time to attack.]

Combat drones, the main weapon of this machine consciousness. Armament other than that was used as a means of defending the structure, so if only those drones were defeated, there seemed to be a chance somehow. And obviously the wizards were the most prominent in the battle against them.

[If the wizards are active as their main force, there is a chance somehow.]

[That’s right. Any power other than that is actually meaningless.]

Jack struggles with the fact that he has to solve this problem through wizards.

But…..

In the meantime, Gestalt was analyzing one of the by-products of Dermian precisely.

[Assumed to be a powerful psionic energy source….. Psionic energy tuning ability cannot be measured…]

Dermian’s dragon heart.

Seeing that it showed the highest values in all tests related to psionic energy than any other material he had ever seen, he soon decided to use it.

Weiying.

A complex mechanism located at the top of a massive structure.

The moment a drone puts Dermian’s heart in it.

A tremendous resonant sound began to spread.

Woo woo woo.

A dragon heart that shines more fiercely than ever before and exudes blue mana.

And soon, by a complex mechanical device, the power spread to all of Arcadia.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A strange wave that spreads and wraps around the entire Arcadia centered on the structure.

And Gestalt, who was watching it, muttered with a strange mechanical sound as if he was satisfied.

[Activation of the Psionic Energy Disrupter.]

* * *

The invasion of the mechanical civilization that makes all of Arcadia noisy.

The first thing to react to the situation was none other than the Magic Tower.

[What do you mean by that? Did the entire mage tower reach the level of destruction?]

The wizards who operate the magic communication sphere and the warp gate.

Therefore, those who immediately responded to the urgent request for assistance from the Illusion School, which had nested in Japan, were the magic corps belonging to the newly established Supreme Council of Magic.

“What the hell is going on? What is attacking the magic tower?”

Rias, the mage lord of the green mage tower, came to lead the magic corps.

He asked a wizard who was terrified and trembling.

“They are monsters. They’re the messengers of hell who came to kill us… all of us!”

An unknown sorcerer who seems to have gone mad in fear.

Rias, who was looking at the quiet Mage Tower with no one but him, immediately realized.

“What the hell is this…? Hey… can you…?”

Woo woo woo.

Rias confirmed something by simply injecting mana. Then, with a hardened face, he said seriously.

“A runaway mana happened. I was lucky enough to survive, but I think I went crazy in the aftermath.”

“yes? Runaway mana…?”

A mage who loses all power and goes mad due to a surge of mana that occurs under extremely rare circumstances. Seeing that it was empty with no one but him, he was certain that something strange had happened and nodded at the words of an adventurer wizard who had followed him.

“I told you. Machines invaded from another dimension.”

Rumors that have never been met face-to-face, but are already spreading throughout the continent of Arcadia based on information obtained through Arfandia. At first, he thought it was ridiculous, but now that he came here and saw it with his own two eyes, Rias had no choice but to believe the absurd story.

“So… are you saying that this place has already been taken over by those machines?”

“Well… most likely. It’s probably better to go back once more…”

However, at that moment, a message suddenly popped up with a sharp sound coming from somewhere, and Super King God, a member of the magic corps and playing as a 5th circle wizard, couldn’t help but be astonished.

[Psionic disruptor activated.]

[All mana flows are strongly interfered.]

[Magic control decreases by 85%.]

[Mana output decreases by 30%.]

[Casting time increases by 100% . [

Abnormal condition mana surge’s activation rate is greatly increased.]

[Available circles are reduced by 2 stages.]

[Casting penalty is added to magics with 4 or more circles.]

.

.

.

“What the hell is this…?”

An unbelievable level of penalty applied with the words that an unheard of thing called a psionic disruptor has been activated. And that wasn’t what he felt.

“Kuh… Keuugh…..”

“What is it….. Why is Ma Mana suddenly…?”

“Turn off …..”

Wizards who lost control of their mana and were quite embarrassed. And it was no different than Rias, the owner of the green magic tower and the 7th circle master.

‘An entity other than a dragon controls mana… I’ve never heard of such a thing…’

Mana always moved faithfully according to his own will. However, at this moment, he somehow escaped from his seat and squeezed Mana, who seemed unstable and swaying as if he were going to tear his heart apart, with all his might.

‘It’s dangerous… it’s really dangerous…’

I don’t know what it really is, but they’re literally enemies to wizards. So, I decided to go back somehow and inform the other fellow wizards about this, but at that moment, he faced him.

[Organism detection. Organism detected.]

[Remove.Remove.]

Dozens of combat drones, unknown when they entered.

He realized as he watched those slowly approaching, surrounded by a group of magic troops, each brandishing a menacing tentacle with sharp blades.

The great magic that ruled this world.

That the day had come when the magic, which had always been eternal and mighty, would collapse.
