Helmut
Episode 491
Helmut and Area didn’t take long to discover the dark wizard’s hideout.
Area had also had a secret hiding place with public relations in the temple, so it was easy to think about it from his perspective.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, they felt hidden demonic energy from inside. Magi were gathering in one place.
“You want to use black magic! “We have to stop it!”
The two didn’t know what the warlock’s purpose was, but they couldn’t allow the magic to be completed. They rushed straight towards the warlock.
Various monsters guarding the dungeon blocked them, but it was no use. They moved forward, killing the monsters as they could.
However, dungeons are strictly the domain of warlocks. The opponent is a warlock who has almost reached the level of an archmage.
It was a distorted space that would not be easy for even an archmage to break through, so it was inevitable that it would take time to get to Kailan.
They managed to find their way through numerous crossroads and spinning traps.
When the two reached the place where the black magic was performed, Kailan was almost completing the spell.
The demonic energy emanating from the dead who had fallen to the ground and offered as a sacrifice was seen flowing toward him like black smoke.
Surrounding him was a barrier made of demonic energy. Area muttered as she saw Kailan’s appearance beyond the translucent screen.
“Is this… a summoning magic circle?”
“Does this mean he’s trying to summon something?”
“Okay, looking at this demon, I think it’s something great. For example…”
“You mean the devil?”
Helmut and Area’s eyes met. I can’t believe I found a place where dangerous magic that could lead to destruction of the world was unfolding. It was completely coincidental.
Should I say I’m lucky or bad? Although less than a year had passed since the gates of the Demon World were closed, it was a crisis that came too quickly.
Helmut hurriedly opened his mouth.
“I have to deal with it quickly.”
“be careful. There will be a space distortion around him.”
That was the reason why I couldn’t rush in as soon as I arrived. Area, who had figured it out through brief observation, spoke again.
“I will assist you, so don’t hesitate and run. “The author must be cut down!”
Helmut leaps forward, correcting the distorted space on this side and opening the path toward the warlock. Time was running out.
Helmut threw himself without even answering. The magic is almost complete. The warlock must be dealt with before reaching the peak.
Kailan felt the presence of two people approaching him, but he didn’t care.
He can’t win against those two in battle anyway.
There is only one way. All you have to do is complete the spell and summon the demon lord.
The magical energy he had collected so far was gathered in his hands through elaborate calculations. Helmut rushed towards Kailan in the distorted space.
Okay! His sword struck the barrier. Kailan’s body finally began to tremble.
But he was still focused on magic. The distance between Helmut and Kailan was close, but there were numerous large and small spaces between them.
All you have to do is buy yourself some time. for a moment. The condensed magic energy activated the summoning magic circle.
Wooooow! A violent vibration shook the floor. Magic was being performed. The Demon King will be summoned to this place. If that happens…
disaster will once again arrive in this world. Kailan was so focused on completing the magic that he was sweating.
Summons. The target of the summons is the most powerful being in the demon world. Master of Magi.
Beyond the walls of time and space, its existence was captured by my senses. That being was drawn here from the demon world.
Then I suddenly got caught. It’s like I’m stuck in the middle.
‘Is the passage narrow?’
It is not easy for a gigantic being called the Demon King to be summoned. Kailan focused more on magic.
The entrance opened under tremendous pressure. Just like his will to open the passage wider, the force and will of that being to come here were also powerful.
With the unity of the two wills, the being finally surpassed the chin. Something that had become closer and closer beyond the world was finally about to reveal itself.
The fruit of long research. Joy appeared in Kailan’s eyes.
But it took too much time. Helmut’s sword was flying.
Shhh! The sword that flew in with a booming sound flashed blue and white before my eyes. Kailan, who was concentrating all his energy on magic, was unable to defend himself.
Suddenly! His head was cut off in the air. At the same time, the light disappeared from the summoning magic circle.
However, the only things that existed above the magic circle were the bodies of Helmut and Kailan. The object of the summons was nowhere to be found.
Helmut tilted his head. If the magic was successful, a result would have remained, and if it had failed, the magic energy would have dispersed.
But neither of the two phenomena occurred. In the empty space, headless bodies and severed heads rolled around, spraying blood.
“Did you stop it?”
At that time, everything shook as if there had been an earthquake. Boom! From the other side, Area suddenly narrowed the space and flew in. She warned loudly.
“The dungeon is collapsing!”
It was a natural result since the dungeon’s owner had died.
“I can’t believe I’m going through this again.”
Because I had experienced it twice, I reacted quickly. There were two solutions, but the option of taking control of the warlock’s dungeon was not an option.
Because a huge black magic was performed, the space was already distorted. Then there is only one other way.
Area stretched out her hand and grabbed Helmut’s arm.
“Move!”
After escaping from the place where the entrance was drawn and collapsing in the air, they quickly entered the dungeon of Area.
Evacuate to the dungeon, close the entrance, and open the door to the original world.
This time, Heike couldn’t help but there wasn’t as much pressure as before. The two people breathed a sigh of relief inside the dungeon.
Area was the first to speak.
“You’re safe now. “It was really close timing.”
“Did the magic fail? “It felt like it was complete.”
“If it hadn’t failed, something would have appeared. “The dungeon that lost its owner also collapsed, so it’s as if it was completely erased.”
The wizard’s dungeon is like a small other world between worlds.
So, strictly speaking, the summoning did not take place in this world.
Since the spell caster died, the point of contact between the dungeon and this world has disappeared, so even if the spell was successful, it will be erased from the gap.
Helmut’s expression, which had been straining between his eyebrows, finally relaxed.
“The gate to the demon world almost opened again.”
“Maybe it was. It was quite difficult for me too as you were breaking the magic to get to him. It’s hard to believe that a wizard of that caliber would have degenerated into a warlock… and that he was plotting a scheme alone in a secret place like this. “I’m glad I found it.”
Area frowned. The more high-ranking a magician is, the stronger his senses become and the less likely he is to become corrupted.
However, there was a strong temptation when the Demon King appeared.
A wizard who becomes a warlock at that time and does not reveal himself until then is quite likely. Only today did Area realize the danger she had been overlooking.
Helmut tilted his head to the side.
“Is there anyone else like that?”
“There is a possibility. I need to review the list of Wizards’ Association members. “To risk your life to try to reopen the closed door to the demon world… it’s terrible.”
While the two were chatting about various things, Area suddenly flinched. She reached out her hand and took out a brightly lit crystal ball from her bosom.
“I received a call.”
A familiar face soon appeared in the crystal ball.
[Helmut Area. How are you? This is not the time to say hello. [Something urgent happened.]
Xian raised his hand and got straight to the point. Baharek’s invasion.
[They might attack tomorrow. You guys should come.]
The two people who heard the story nodded.
“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”
“I caught a warlock, so what’s next?”
[huh? Were you holding a warlock? You guys are so diligent even when you are on vacation.]
“Unfortunately, you keep getting noticed.”
Helmut answered. This is my first time catching a warlock while on vacation, but I caught quite a few monsters.
After all, it is impossible to enjoy perfect rest at a time like this.
“Baharek was a risk factor that could appear at any time. “The timing is unfortunate.”
“Okay, Sian. “We go straight to the wall.”
After Helmut’s declaration was made, Xian left a greeting.
[I’ll be waiting.]
And the light disappeared from the crystal ball.
I could go and explain what happened today. They decided to face crisis after crisis.
* * *
The time when Helmut and Area headed to the wall. A white cat appeared in the mountains near the dungeon entrance.
“Meow?”
A luxurious, white-furred cat that doesn’t seem like it could possibly live in a place like this. The identity was Elaga.
Elaga looked around with great emotion and enjoyed the feeling. I can’t believe I’m coming back like this. His world, his land. All the air was familiar.
The only problem is that it’s not a familiar place.
[But where are we? Why is there no one?]
This happened a little while ago. Elaga, who was waiting, finally sensed something unusual. The opportunity he desperately wanted was approaching.
Calling upon the strongest being in the demon world, a gap opened. The tiny gap soon widened as if to swallow me up.
Elaga automatically excluded the Demon Lord from his mind and believed himself to be the strongest being.
And other monsters also followed him as a dominant being. That was enough to direct the magic towards Elaga.
Even Elaga’s origins were in the original world, not the demon world, so it was natural that the magic cast in the original world would be directed to him.
[Okay, here we go!]
Without even thinking, Elaga pushed herself into the gap and looked. Of course it wasn’t easy. Because he was so big and the magic power he possessed was enormous.
It was too large a lump to be able to cross the world with just summoning magic. Mute encouraged.
[Slow down, take your time. Crossing the world is not that easy.]
[It’s too damn narrow! How on earth are you supposed to get through here?]
I couldn’t force myself in and open the gap. If that happens, and the gap is torn, a huge situation may occur where the gate to the demon world opens.
Elaga was almost blocking the gap with her body and was unable to move.
He felt claustrophobia for the first time. If things continue like this, I might die trapped in the gap between worlds. A tremendous amount of pressure was weighing on him.
[No, that can’t be possible! This body is Elaga!]
Elaga struggled. At that time, I heard Mute’s advice.
[I think it’s too big to pass through like that. How about reducing it a bit?]
