With a boom, like the collision of asteroids, even the starry sky seemed to tremble. Yet before the sound of the explosion could fade—
Lugatimus had not even reacted when the beautiful Flügel girl appeared unharmed before it...
"Not bad attack. But it's nowhere near enough."
As she spoke, a light sword appeared in Jibril's hand. The next second, it extended to more than ten meters long and slashed at it.
This was a close-combat weapon Jibril had modified herself, a melee weapon capable of injuring an Old Deus!
Jibril never trusted anything made by others, not even her creator. She remained skeptical... then modified them herself into even more terrifying weapons.
This Flügel beauty possessed that same talent. Besides battle, she had an incomparably intense thirst for all kinds of knowledge, one that had even reached the level of an addiction.
That was why, in the original story, Aether called Jibril an "abnormal knowledge seeker." She collected knowledge in order to turn the unknown into the known.
Only abundant knowledge could change one's fate and make one stronger.
Facing Jibril's sword, Lugatimus, the mechanical lifeform, showed no expression. It merely kept simulating and constructing the strongest defensive barriers before itself.
When the light sword struck the defensive barrier, cracks appeared across it, but it still barely blocked Jibril's attack.
Jibril was slightly stunned. This unknown mechanical lifeform had actually blocked her attack. This was her latest close-combat weapon!
Though surprised, Jibril stopped caring about it in the next instant.
"Looks like this weapon still isn't strong enough. It couldn't even kill the first enemy it faced. I should choose another close-combat weapon instead!"
Just like that, Jibril sentenced her close-combat weapon to death row.
Hearing Jibril's words, although it was a language Lugatimus had never heard before, it could
