Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 103
Episode 103
King Yulho
“So, it’s true that you are here?”
“That’s right. Even the scouts have already been confirmed. “It is said that a significant number of the royal guards, including King Yulho, moved this morning.”
“Hehehe! “I’m really curious to see how their expressions will change when they come in behind us.”
Neward, the second military leader of the tribe ‘Fury’, was so happy about the situation that was about to happen that he burst out laughing.
The report he received from the spy planted in Antromorph a few days ago made Fury very excited.
A report that the Antromorph tribe is gathering ingredients for a cascade to attack Death Worm colonies.
When Neward heard that the preparations were almost completed and the attack was imminent, he unconsciously hit Murpak with his hand.
This was because they believed that now was an opportunity to completely turn the tide against Antromorph, who had been sluggish so far.
‘Other foolish commanders say they are provoking the silent King Yulho for no reason, but… Hmph! That doesn’t sound the same. Rather, why don’t they know that if they really create a settlement and build a city, our Fury will fall in the long run?’
Fury is an alliance system made up of six generals.
Since each of them led an army, no one person could monopolize the decision-making authority like Antromov.
Neward was always dissatisfied with that.
It was thought that the reason why Fury could not expand further despite having this much power and scale was because of the stupid and complacent attitude of other military commanders.
‘But this time, if I cut off King Yulho’s head and proudly carry it away, other military commanders will have no choice but to follow my instructions.’
There was only one thing Neward wanted.
Put Fury under your feet and go on to become the king of all beastmen!
It may be similar to what Antromorph advocates, but it is different in that what he pursues is simply a desire for power.
‘Now the first step will soon be taken.’
Around this time, Neward approached with his eyes wide open and his subordinates doing their best to keep out of sight.
‘there is!’
Neward and the fighters were able to discover that King Yulho and Antromorph’s boastful royal guard were engaged in a fierce battle against the Death Worm.
Kwakwakwak!
Kurrrrr-
‘Crazy… what a skill.’
Neward swallowed dry saliva as he watched the death worm’s head shatter and the ground shake every time King Yulho extended his fist.
I feel this every time I see him, but King Yulho had a power that couldn’t be easily accessed.
The other fighters were probably the same, but their faces were hardened and they showed signs of nervousness.
“Get ready.”
“My name.”
“My name.”
According to Neward’s command, they began to move in perfect order.
Everyone was preparing sign language and trying to activate the magic tools they had brought with them. These are all trophies obtained by capturing slave hunters.
It was all designed for killing, so it was planned to be poured into King Yulho as soon as the signal was given.
No matter how quick King Yulho is, it won’t be easy if he gets stranded by the death worms.
And after killing King Yulho, the 2nd Corps’ operational goal was to eliminate the remaining royal guards at once.
“city…!”
As Neward was about to say something, a gust of wind suddenly blew in this direction from somewhere.
A musty smell mixed with burnt coal.
The bitter aftertaste seemed to be mixed with magic.
At that moment, Neward instinctively realized that this was the smell of a burning garland, which is mainly used by Antromorphs, and tried to tell him to run away, saying it was a trap.
Kwakwakwak!
The ground on which the 2nd Corps stood was already turning over.
Kyaaaaaah
!
The Death Worms, completely entranced by the scent of the gargoyle, appeared in droves and began to sweep through the 2nd Legion.
* * *
“Puhaha! “I never thought it would be possible to wipe out those guys so easily.”
King Yulho was smiling the brightest smile Elric had ever seen.
Then, he suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Elric with sharp eyes.
“Magic… it’s very fascinating.”
The strategy that Elric presented to King Yulho was very simple.
Let’s guide the 2nd Corps to near the colony and then use magic to send the scent of the gargoyle in that direction.
And at the end, it was about taking the fishermen’s geography.
It was such a simple tactic, but it would have been absolutely impossible without magic.
Unless the 2nd Corps was an idiot, they were approaching a place with their backs to the wind so as not to be caught by the Death Worm.
“I learned it on my own, so my level is not that high. However, I don’t think it’s something that should be blindly rejected when it comes to the development of the beast people.”
“That is correct. “If other people of my race heard it, they would be very embarrassed.”
The Beastmen tribe had a strong tendency to treat magic as a very sinister science, believing it to be the exclusive property of humans.
However, King Yulho had been opposed to such opinions for a long time.
If humans are the enemy, isn’t it natural that they should know the enemy well?
“Anyway, I feel like I’ve lost some strength now, so let’s try harvesting the loot.”
King Yulho rolled up both his sleeves and tried to launch himself in Neward’s direction.
“If possible, it would be better to capture them alive.”
“I know, so don’t worry.”
King Yulho lightly waved his hand and kicked the ground.
Quaaaang!
Wedge-
“King Yu Yulho is coming this way!”
“shit…!”
Fury’s 2nd Corps, including Neward, all fell into contemplation.
Most of them are exhausted due to the constant pouring of death worms. There were quite a few deaths. The magic tools I brought had long since run out.
In that situation, dealing with them meant the same as dying, but there was no time to do anything about it.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The first to die from King Yulho’s blow was Newward. He had already lost one of his arms while catching four death worms, so he had no means of resistance.
It was at that time that the SS, including Elric and Ralph’s four men, invaded.
In a situation where the hands and feet were already in disarray, even the SS was swept away, and the 2nd Corps was rapidly falling apart.
Because of that, Elric did not actively participate in the battle.
While dealing with the beastmen just enough to not be noticed, both eyes were busy following King Yulho.
The rigid body technique he performs is the prototype of the rigid body technique that Elric learned… or more accurately, it is the mother body.
So, the more you could keep an eye on it, the better.
‘The secret art of the Tiger family, Gangcheol, was born when King Yulho mastered all Gangchejutsu in various places and unified the system. So there’s no way to know that at this time.’
Elric’s mind’s eye glowed brightly.
‘But there will be something that can be called a skeleton… so if you know that now, it will be of great help in restoration.’
In fact, many of the parts that had been missing in Elric’s mind were being filled in. There were quite a few misinterpretations, so this was a great help in correcting them.
Then, by chance, I was able to watch Ralph fight the loudest next to King Yulho.
Kurrrr-
Every time I extended my fist, the air exploded. His martial arts skills were quite similar to those of King Yulho, but different.
‘Was that guy also a master of Gangseojutsu?’
For some reason, the other mutts were chasing after Ralph. It seemed that he was a direct blood relative of the head of the Heilang tribe.
however.
Pot!
A poisonous needle flew from somewhere and stuck in the back of Ralph’s neck.
“Oops!”
Ralph, who didn’t realize it during the melee, lost his breath and collapsed on the floor.
“die!”
“Ralph!”
“Watch out Ralph!”
The three mutts, who belatedly noticed Ralph’s danger, tried to move in that direction, but the enemy had already reached Ralph.
At that time, I wondered if Ralph would die like this too.
“…you?”
Ralph could see a shadow suddenly appear between him and his enemy.
The moment I saw the shadow’s face, my eyes widened.
Because the Elric he had been antagonizing for so long was right there!
Gang body art.
The appearance of a fierce tiger.
The movements Elric performed were very simple.
But that was enough.
Because the storm that followed him tore the enemy apart in one fell swoop.
After that, Elric quickly checked the condition of Ralph, who was out of breath.
“【Get well】.”
A few beastmen flinched when they saw Elric trying to use magic, but they couldn’t because saving their comrades was the most important thing right now.
In the end, Ralph’s pale complexion finally returned to normal.
“Thank you…”
The guy fell down with only those words out.
“He just fainted for a moment, so don’t worry too much. Take him to the camp first and let him get some rest first.”
“That’s right!”
Although the three mutts were confused, they left the colony carrying Ralph on their backs.
[You seem so embarrassed and don’t know why you’re helping me?]
[The Black Wolf clan is known for being good at returning favors, so it will be a big help in being recognized as a fighter.]
Elric left the Camellia God, who smiled lightly, and soon subdued him. I looked at King Yulho who had finished.
The battlefield was very quiet, as the subjugation of Death Worm was almost over.
The stench emanating from dozens of dead death worms was almost paralyzing my nose.
“Let’s move on to the next operation before Fury finds out the truth.”
“Of course. And thank you for helping Ralph.”
Elric could somehow tell that King Yulho’s perspective on him had changed a lot.
King Yulho scolded the 2nd Corps, which had already surrendered.
“From now on, we will follow them and advance towards Fury’s base!”
* * *
The operation to launch a surprise attack after going deep into the depths of the disguised Fury with prisoners of the suppressed 2nd Corps was carried out without the slightest delay.
It could have been a case of self-destruction by being trapped in the opponent’s base, but King Yulho decided that this was the only way to subdue Fury, who was difficult to attack due to the castle walls.
However, Elric left behind, saying he would clean up after himself.
“You’re the one who planned the plan, so you won’t go with me?”
“Even if I go, all I can say is that there are humans involved, right? And in fact, it is the poison leaking from the corpses here, and I am the only one who can purify the demonic energy.”
“That’s true…” It
wasn’t completely wrong, but King Yulho still had an expression on his face that he wasn’t pleased with.
Because it felt like they were taking all of his credit for themselves.
“it’s okay. Please come back. “I still have to keep checking Ralph’s condition.”
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do. “I’ll be back soon.”
In the end, King Yulho could not overcome the continued Chaegeun and moved to Fury with his royal guard.
[The other beastmen seemed quite impressed with you… They completely changed their evaluation in just two days. Actually, it’s for another reason.]
[When you look at things like this, they say you’re killing two birds with one stone. Eat the pheasant and eat the eggs.]
Elric smiled brightly at the camellia god and activated the seal of the evil star.
Thanks to King Yulho and others.
Now it was time to level up.
“【Eat it up】.”
Tsutsutsu –
As the shadow moved widely along the ground, the death worm’s corpse began to rapidly devour the spilled magical energy.
gulp.
gulp.
The jagged teeth sucked in demonic energy at a rapid pace, like a thirsty person drinking water.
Later, as if that wasn’t enough, jagged teeth appeared and were tearing the Death Worm’s corpses to shreds.
‘Is it because I went through evolution once? ‘Isn’t greedy too?’
Elric had to laugh at the greed of the evil seal, which was determined to eat everything without leaving a single one behind.
Of course, it was good for him because it increased the dissolution rate of magic stones.
and.
Hwaaa!
The seals of Sakpung were also taking shape one by one. As the wave patterns became clearer and more numerous, a swirl shape was drawn.
It was proof that he had reached 4 stars.
Then, when all those dead bodies disappeared.
Oh my.
The shadow gave a long burp as if satisfied and returned to Elric’s original position.
[The colony has a considerable amount of demonic energy and dozens of death worms… It must have taken a year just to digest
them all.] While the Camellia God was examining Elric’s seals with curious eyes.
Elric planted the seeds in relatively well-purified land.
And I looked at that place with a very nervous face.
Because it could have been rewinded again.
but.
.
.
Even after a long time had passed, rewinding did not occur.
Wow!
Rather, the sprout rose and caught the light as if to greet Elric.
[You’ve finally taken the first step. Congratulations.]
‘That’s it!’
Elric clenched his fists, thinking that all his efforts were finally over.
At that moment, the stone slab was also shining.
[Succeeded in meeting the requirements.]
[The third constraint is lifted.]
[Understanding the desire.]
Haha!
A bright halo of light passed over Elric’s pupils.
And after a while.
Elric slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Camellia God.
The god of camellia looks at me with a look on his face asking why he is doing this.
Elric asked, frowning.
“Did the seal of the cold wind originally belong to Dongbaek?”
