Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 111

Episode 111:

Ice Flower

At that moment, Elric narrowed his eyes without realizing it.

“…Didn’t you just say that General Dong was the one who couldn’t even catch King Yulho?”

Otto Hahn nodded with a look as if there was any problem with that.

“Is that so?”

“He said he updated it because his grandfather also failed.”

“It did.”

“But are you telling me to catch General Dong like that?”

“Is that so?”

“…Do you think that makes sense?”

40 years ago, Usden Mervinger was at the peak of his career as a ‘star mage’.

However, if it was General Dong that he couldn’t catch, there was no way Elric could catch him right away.

When Elric judged, his current skills were only at the level of a high-level mage.

Of course, that alone could be said to be ridiculous, considering his age and the time when he first entered the magic arts.

Still, it was in no way comparable to General Dong.

however.

Somehow… Otto Han’s smile looked so ominous.

“hmm? “The suffering is yours, not mine.”

“…!”

Elric’s face turned bright red as he tried to hold back the nausea that rose up to his neck.

In an instant, Otto Hahn’s smile grew deeper.

“I just swore in my head.”

“Didn’t you…!”

“Then work hard and come back.”

With that said, finally.

puck!

Elric’s vision went dark.

Shit! Do this again! Please send it in a more normal way! No, rather, you should at least give me a hint as to where to go next!

Elric wanted to say those words, but they lingered around his mouth and disappeared in vain.

* * *

Meanwhile, in reality.

Kwakwakwa!

Every time Hermann and Barasen clashed, broken pieces of marble bounced upward, and the flower statues hanging from the pillar fell one after another due to the bouncing Auror pieces.

[No!]

[The temple is collapsing!]

[If you’re going to fight, go out and fight!]

The gods of winter flowers stamped their feet, not knowing what to do at the sight of the temple, which had already lost much of its old appearance, being continuously destroyed.

But what made them even more anxious was the fire that had already reached the area of the central temple.

If the temple was exposed to fire like this… all the other sleeping flower gods could be in danger.

So, in order to somehow extinguish the flames, I released my divine power and summoned vines, but the more I tried, the more violently the flames burned.

[Dongbaek!]

[Dongbaek needs to wake up!]

[But Camellia is sleeping with me!]

[What should I do?]

[Maybe it’s a good idea?]

Hermann was also feeling impatient.

‘White night… What on earth are you doing? ‘Things are getting to this point!’

Hermann frowned as he thought of Augustine, who had still not responded to the situation.

I couldn’t believe that even though I didn’t know what would happen to my one and only disciple, he didn’t show any reaction.

Actually, if you think about it, it was like that during the Siege of Antromov.

Unlike Elric, who was constantly running around the battlefield, he just watched it and didn’t lift a finger.

No matter how indifferent he was to things that had nothing to do with him, this was too serious.

Isn’t it too indifferent to simply ‘test’ Elric?

However, judging from the way he was carrying Elric around, it was definitely not like that.

‘What are you thinking?’

But what was important to Hermann right now was that he had to quickly throw this guy in front of him aside.

‘If only I had a little more strength…!’

Barrassen was an opponent that it was difficult to guarantee that Hermann could defeat right away.

If he were in his prime, he would have cut off his head with a single sword, but he is still recovering and his strength has not fully returned.

In particular, Barasen’s fighting style was completely different from anything he had ever experienced.

I’ve felt it before, but the fighting style of the beastmen is much more aggressive and instinctive than that of humans.

Because of this, Hermann, who pursued standardized and correct swordsmanship, was bound to find it unfamiliar in many ways.

‘Would it be better if I showed the ‘hawk’s beak’ here…?’

Hermann once recalled a secret technique that had given him great enlightenment, but on the other hand, brought him to the precipice of hyperventilation.

It may be difficult to unfold it with this body right now, but my understanding is deep, so I thought that something could be done.

At that time, I wondered if I should worry about Elric, who had not yet woken up from his destiny.

‘Smiling… everything?’

Hermann belatedly realized that, rather than being impatient, Barasen was smiling coldly.

Then I straightened my back. There was a ‘cat’s walk’ that penetrated very secretly through my once sensitive but now dulled senses.

“You weren’t alone!”

“Do you know why the lion is the king of beasts? “This is because he is strong but never reckless and leads the group.”

Hearing Barasen’s words, Hermann quickly increased his magical power.

Whoa!

A clear sword sound rang.

At the same time, from the tip of the sword, the blue auror spread its wings wide like a bird, and blue feathers flew in all directions.

The sword

let out a cry like a hawk and swept away Barasen.

Hawk’s beak.

It was the moment when I pulled out the secret weapon that I had kept in my heart for a long time in order to quickly get rid of the guy in front of me.

Shhh!

* * *

Catherine of the Black Cat clan took advantage of the darkness and quietly infiltrated the secret room where Elric was, like a stray cat.

‘It’s very easy. It’s easy.’

Didn’t other detachments act as bait and even Barasen ‘pretend’ to be assassins, picking out strong human beings who might be a hindrance?

Thanks to this, Catherine was able to reach Elric very easily.

The Black Cat, with its quiet and agile gait, is a race close to assassins by nature. Catherine was by far the most skilled fighter among them.

No matter how dull Herman’s senses were, the fact that he was able to deceive them and approach Elric like this was proof of that.

“Hehehe.”

Elric was quietly meditating in the lotus position. And on one shoulder, I saw the god of Camellia, the Queen of Winter Flowers, who was so difficult to meet even the Fury’s fighters, lying down.

‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but if you die, it’s all pointless anyway, right?’

Can it really be this easy? That’s all I kept thinking about.

‘Hoo! It’s a necklace that shines so beautifully. The jewels embedded there also look very expensive. I’ll have to take this as a fee for my trouble.’

As a Myoin who likes shiny things, Katharini drooled over the magic sword and slowly pulled out the dagger from his bosom.

Hwaaa!

The magic mirror in the shape of a ‘swastika’ with ruby, sapphire, emerald, and diamonds embedded in it one after another, was emitting such a brilliant light that anyone who saw it could not help but be blinded.

“But since I’m giving you something really nice, I’ll send it to you very neatly so you don’t get sick.” “Go over there and say thank you so much and don’t shed any tears.”

Just like that, Catherine’s dagger was about to get stuck in Elric’s uvula.

“hmm?”

Suddenly, the cluster of light surrounding the magic sword suddenly stopped as if it were a lie. I looked in that direction, wondering what was going on.

Damn it!

“What…!”

Catherine was startled. Before I knew it, my entire right arm, from the dagger to the shoulder, was frozen solid.

So I tried to shake off the ice, but suddenly a strong cold wind blew through the secret room, and before I knew it, the ice had reached my jaw joint.

No voice came out. The breath I exhaled didn’t last long before it froze and fell to the floor.

It happened literally in an instant.

Catherine had no choice but to look ahead foolishly with blurred vision.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Elric smiling coldly while looking at me.

“What is it? “You’re screwed.”

Ssssss!

The shadow surrounding Elric spread along the floor like ink.

“You said that earlier, right? “Thank you so much and don’t shed any tears.”

Elric grinned.

“I’ll give it back exactly as it was said.”

Oh, no…! Catherine wanted to say that, but the shadow had already climbed up the wall, revealing its vicious teeth.

“Hel, are you hungry? eat.”

Agari swallowed Gutarini in one bite.

Quad, Quad, Quad, Quad!

Every time the maw twitched, there was a terrible sound of flesh and bones crunching. Argh. It felt like I heard Catherine’s screams coming from somewhere, but they stopped quickly.

Chureup.

A black tongue protruded from between the mouth and licked the lips.

This tastes pretty good in its own way.

“Crazy guy.”

Kkkkkk! Isn’t that what you should say when you throw something like this at me?

The seal of the evil star slowly subsided while making a laughing sound. The shadow returned to Elric intact.

“For some reason, this bastard seems to get more vicious every time I see him.”

Elric grunted as he looked at the seal of the evil star.

After going through the arrangements, Hyul’s thoughts were much clearer than before. It was not only the seal of cruelty and the seal of cold wind that became stronger during the arrangement. The seal of Hungseong has also achieved great development.

Of course, Elric never intended to go all-in on seal magic.

“It’s a cold wind.”

And Mephisto, who came next to me, clicked his tongue with a disapproving look on his face.

『Following the ice, now it’s the cold wind…. If you just add more snow and clouds, it’s just ‘winter’. Pfft! Collecting scraps like this and making something of that size is quite a talent.』

‘I always feel this way, but this human… No, this demon has never said it’s okay every time I get a seal, right?’

When Elric looked at him with a disapproving expression, Mephisto crossed his arms and snorted.

『What is it? Are you dissatisfied?』

Elric was about to say something when the camellia god stood up between the two of them.

[dissatisfaction? Of course not. The smell of the gutter is so bad from my mouth, could you please move it to the side?]

『The gutter? Anything can be said…!』

[The smell is so strong that I can’t really understand what they are saying. Please brush my teeth.]

While Mephisto was getting angry again and running amok.

Elric stood up, shaking his head, thinking that if he got in between the two, he would just go crazy.

‘Snow… I mean.’

Mephisto said these words as if they were very obvious. In it, Elric was able to immediately understand what remaining elements of ‘winter’ Otto Hahn had not told him about.

And what it means.

‘Ice crystal.’

Elric’s eyes sparkled.

‘The ice crystal changed as it absorbed the cold that froze the god of camellia. ‘In a form similar to snow crystals.’

Of course, it was just a simple inference.

Elric never thought that Otto Hahn or his grandfather would entrust him with an impossible task.

His idea was that the answer lay in arrangement.

‘If only other seeds could be awakened in that way…! What if we could even imprison General Dong?’

If what is created in that way is ‘eye’.

The moment the accident reached that point, Elric opened the door to the secret room without delay and went out.

At that place.

Puhwaak!

Barasen, the Sand Lion, was standing there with his head cut in half and blood pouring out.

The mane that adorned him was completely soaked in blood, and his entire body was full of small wounds, making him look ugly. Especially since one arm was already rolling on the ground.

In front of him, Hermann stood with a fierce spirit.

Pajik Pajijik!

So much power was unleashed that fragments of the aura flew out like sparks from the tips of the toes.

“Are you… the best… among humans?”

Barasen was out of breath and forced himself to support his body that looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. I knew very well that I had no chance of survival.

Still, I wanted to ask this much. What level is the human in front of you?

He is a lion.

He is the king of unemployed people.

It made no sense for someone who was not the strongest among humans to be treated so vainly by a human who was normally treated as a lower species.

but.

Hermann just snorted lightly.

“Nonsense. Among those holding swords, there were seven who could compete with me, and above me there was a man who could cut me down with one sword. “Magic, sacred, black magic… If you expand the boundaries in that direction, there will be at least dozens.”

After the Great Demon War, the national power of the empire did not decline, but rather rose sharply, reaching its peak since the beginning of human history.

Additionally, other countries on the continent, feeling a sense of crisis, also fully developed their armed forces, and the world had long since entered the ‘era of warring states’.

“Why… are… like… humans…!”

This fact was so shocking that Barasen was so shocked that he could no longer speak.

The wound on his neck, which he had been holding on to, opened wider and his head fell to the floor.

Degurr –

The Sand Lion’s face was distorted with pain and a scream. It was the grief left over from the shattering of their belief that their great king, the Blood King, would wipe out the humans under the wall.
