Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 113
Episode 113:
Flower spring cold
“【Be absorbed】.”
As Elric’s words were activated, a magic field spread throughout the greenhouse.
The seeds of winter flowers are shaking.
The moment when ice crystals floated into the air.
Whihwihwi!
The wind blew harshly along the seeds of winter flowers.
There was a sound of something breaking, and the pieces of ice that had been freezing the seeds were sucked into the ice crystal.
and.
Damn it!
As the seeds shattered one after another, the flower gods sleeping within them began to rise one by one.
There are a total of 27 winter flowers currently dormant in the greenhouse.
As they each stretched out, the scent of flowers mingled with those of those already standing up, and the greenhouse was soon filled with a fragrant scent.
[uh? It’s a mugwort!]
[There’s also Phalaenopsis!]
[Wow! Wow!]
[Friends!]
[Nice to meet you!]
Everyone, including the existing God of Repair, was walking around in the air, saying they were happy to meet them. Every time the wings, as thin as those of a dragonfly, were shaken, pollen fell.
[I… woke up?]
[How did it happen?]
[Did you win General Dong?]
[Did you win? Is that so?]
The gods of winter flowers who woke up late were as dazed as when the god of camellia first woke up, but their eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
[no. General Dong is still the same and ‘winter’ is not over.]
At that time, the god of camellia spoke above the heads of the winter flower gods. All eyes turned towards that.
Some people were happy that the Dongbaek God had awakened before them, but they were saddened to hear that they had not yet caught General Dong.
[But don’t worry, you’ll get it soon. Otherwise, wouldn’t it have been impossible to wake you up?]
And then the next words made them raise their heads up again.
[Really?]
[Can you catch General Dong?]
[Can I no longer get hit?]
[Can I not fail?]
Everyone was busy asking questions without hesitation.
The camellia god quietly nodded, saying yes, unlike usual.
[is it so. So everyone, please stop crying. You understand what this woman means, right?]
[Yes, yes!]
[Everything Dongbaek says is correct!]
[We don’t have to sleep anymore! Hurrah!]
[You can meet other friends too! Wow!]
The scent of flowers that filled the greenhouse became more intense, and I was now dizzy.
『The way you like and then get disappointed by Dongbaek’s words is just like a puppy hoping that its owner will happily play with it.』
Mephisto was busy scolding the gods of winter flowers while looking at them.
Still, as if he didn’t like seeing them in such a good mood, he was nodding his head calmly while making a sullen expression.
When Elric saw Mephisto like that, he had to shake his head as if he couldn’t stop him.
Then, before I knew it, it had finished its function and turned my attention back to the ice crystal that had fallen on my palm.
The ice crystal, which had been shining white when Elric first obtained it, was now sparkling a light pink color.
It almost looked as if it contained beautiful paint.
Ugh, wow,
Elric could be sure as he felt the faint scent of flowers wafting from there and the faint divine power mixed with it.
This is what will completely defeat ‘winter’ in the black snowfield.
* * *
Hwaaaah!
When all the winter flower gods arose, it was not just the central temple and the silk greenhouse that changed.
It was the same outside.
The place where the fire swept through. In a place where even the little remaining grass and wild flowers had all burned down… a warm wind began to blow little by little.
The black burnt powder flew away and the burnt smell disappeared.
Instead, wild grass grew over the spot and wild flowers bloomed little by little, one by one, turning the hill into various colors in an instant.
“oh! “Is it pretty?”
“This…?”
“It looks like my nephew-in-law has accomplished something big.”
Hermann and the Blue Hawk had been hanging around outside for a while as the landscaper explained that outsiders were not allowed to enter the central temple.
Then I saw a sight that was completely rare under the wall.
Even those who had wandered around thinking the world was small in their youth had to open their eyes wide when they saw the scenery for the first time.
And they felt quite proud inside, thinking that what they had accomplished was such a big deal.
I couldn’t help but think that Elric, who led these events, was amazing.
Is it really possible for anyone at this age to achieve this level of achievement?
They thought that even though there were three geniuses called Supernova, they would fall short of Elric in terms of pure ability.
Isabelle, who had already experienced salvation from Elric a long time ago, just smiled quietly.
As if he knew it would be like this from the beginning.
Then.
‘…uh?’
Isabel later realized that the landscaper had turned and was quietly wiping his eyes.
Although she seemed stiff throughout the conversation so far.
As a guardian who has protected this temple for a long time, this moment must be that happy.
So Isabel handed the handkerchief and secretly held it out to the landscaper.
The landscaper looked up in surprise and tried to quickly smooth his eyes, but Isabelle quickly grabbed his hand and gave him a handkerchief.
“Don’t do that, just take it.”
“…Thank you.”
The landscaper quietly lowered his head.
I could see that the bridge of my nose was slightly red.
The more.
Isabel’s smile grew even deeper.
Like wild flowers swaying in the field.
* * *
It was after some time had passed that Elric came out of the temple.
It was crazy to bring out all 33 winter flower gods.
[Wow!]
[It’s a flower field!]
[There are so many people!]
[The temple is so crowded! It looks big!]
[There’s Velence too!]
[Hello?]
“Hello. “It’s been a while since I saw you.”
Even as the winter flower gods wandered around, those who recognized Belle had fun hanging out with him.
While Hayes helps them avoid getting hurt.
When asked by Sean and Carol what he was going to do since his business seems to be over now, Elric said in a tone that it was obvious.
“What should I do? I told you. “We have to catch General Dong.”
“So what are you going to do to catch that general or something?”
Sean spoke with his eyebrows tightly narrowed.
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t catch General Dong. “I’m just saying don’t move without any information.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. “I know where everything is.”
At that moment, the eyes of everyone else, including Sean, lit up.
“Where?”
“Within Fury’s domain.”
“ah.”
Sean nodded as if he finally understood.
As seen in the arrangement, Elric asked Bell for the location and confirmed that it was within the Beastman Union formed by Fury.
The hypothesis that Fury may be driving General Dong has been verified.
Sean crossed his arms and spoke in a grumpy voice.
“Then you’re going to go get into trouble right away?”
“Sounds obvious.”
“…I think this is the first time I feel sorry for them. do whatever you want.”
Sean shook his head but made a small statement.
“I will help you no matter what.”
Elric grinned.
Even though he always grumbled, Sean was the only one who believed in him and followed him until the end. Carol sighed deeply, thinking that it would still be difficult to go home.
Augustine and Gility also made eye contact with Elric and nodded, telling him to do as he pleased.
now.
It was time to move again.
* * *
[You idiot. He’s dead.]
Crrrrr –
The sound of an animal’s roar echoed strongly along the large cave.
The King of Blood opened his eyes with a frown on his face, as if he was not pleased with the situation.
“It seems like what you were trying to do wasn’t working out.”
As if teasing him, the demon across from him burst out laughing lightly.
The more he did this, the deeper the wrinkles on the King of Blood’s brows became.
[Tail returns.]
“Oh my. “It looks like the plan to burn the temple didn’t work out.”
[This is why I shouldn’t have entrusted the job to a stupid beast.]
The King of Blood said ‘Tsk’ and clicked his tongue lightly.
It was a harsh assessment to give to a subordinate who had been loyal to him and even sacrificed his life to build Fury’s heyday.
However, the Blood King’s original nature was like that.
For him, who has lived for hundreds of years, everything that exists in the world is nothing but a tool that exists to achieve his goals.
Even his own clan was no different.
[Even though there was a temple of flowers anyway, it was a place that could have been done without it. It was a place that had long since fallen anyway, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. The only problem is…]
“It would be the fact that Mervinger is there.”
The Blood King narrowed his eyes and glared at the demon.
Mervinger was like a lifelong yoke to him.
The demon shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, if you look at it, we are no different. Mervinger… It’s a name I’ve been sick of for a very long time.”
Blood King was well aware of the conflict that had been going on for over a thousand years between the Mervingers and the demons, so he did not bother to point it out.
[Just raise an army again and eliminate them. Let us finish our negotiations first. The force you are part of needs a vessel to contain General Dong, and based on that, we will unite the Black Snowfields into one…!]
It was just when King Bloodmi was about to say something.
Suddenly he stopped talking and jumped up from his seat.
[How dare you!]
It was so large that the huge cavity, which could easily accommodate hundreds of people, was shaking.
Moreover, his voice that made the air tremble was full of anger.
The reason he was angry was simple.
This was because the ‘tails’ that had been planted in various places because they were deemed strategically important suddenly began to return.
“I guess this is it.”
At that time, the demon grinned.
“Looks like you need some help from us?”
* * *
Under Fury.
City ‘Dolfgang’.
Whoosh!
“The fortress is falling!”
“Ugh! General Dong is coming!”
“Where has the tail’s protection gone…! “Ahh!”
Elric burst into laughter as he looked at the city in chaos.
“It melts really easily.”
『You can definitely hit even if you hit the trumpet.』
“When they came to set fire to the Temple of Flowers, they should have been prepared to suffer the same thing. “Isn’t that right?”
[Hohoho! Seeing her for the first time in a while makes her feel much better. Yes. This is how it can be fun. It feels like a hundred-year-old congestion is going down.]
Before leaving the Temple of Flowers, Elric asked about the locations of cities that the Fury held or that strongly supported the Fury’s power.
Although we cannot go to war with each city one by one.
Still, I was confident that I could at least cause trouble to them.
And in fact, Elric was busy running around with Sean Carl Hayes and others, picking out and hitting the barrier monuments that were protecting the cities one by one.
They had no idea that Antromov would attack them while crossing such a rough terrain, so they had no choice but to be helpless.
The result was this.
The moment General Dong broke through the broken barrier and attacked, the city was plunged into chaos.
Beep!
At that time, a hawk circled loudly above Elric’s head and let out a howl.
A sign from Giliti that the headstone has been completely pulverized beyond restoration.
Now that all the necessary work was done here, it was time to move on to the next city.
It was the beginning of a counterattack.
