Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 116
Episode 116:
Flower Spring Cold
“…Hmm?”
The demon Andrew felt something was strange.
When he appeared like this, normal humans would look scared.
The magic energy he possessed was great, but the seal he possessed caused fear in humans.
Ferocious wind.
Since the birth of civilization, winds that have raged and blown wildly have destroyed houses where people live and destroyed crops.
Flooding rivers can be repaired through large-scale construction, but fierce winds are difficult to predict, so they have no choice but to remain synonymous with the unknown and fear.
So, I thought that people who thought they might approach General Dong would naturally be intimidated by him.
The person in front of me didn’t look like that at all.
Or rather, isn’t he looking himself up and down as if he were giving an evaluation?
‘I guess it was true that it was Mervinger.’
Until he was first dispatched here, Andrew had scoffed at the idea that the person who was currently destroying Fury might be Mervinger.
From what he currently understands, Mervinger’s contemporary successors have begun to gain quite a reputation on the continent.
It didn’t occur to him that he would come to such a barren outskirt when he was busy running around trying to raise his family.
So, when the King of Blood first spoke about Mervinger, he thought it was an excuse.
When the Antromorph attack, which had been ignored so far, failed, they came up with a plausible excuse.
In fact, wasn’t the King of Blood 40 years ago when he tried to rise up big with General Dong on his back, but was defeated by Usden Mervinger?
Considering that the weight of the name Mervinger was not light for Fury, I thought it would be possible.
however.
‘You mean it’s real?’
Blonde hair that burns like the sun and green eyes that sparkle like emeralds.
It was definitely a symbol representing Mervinger. In addition, the magical scent wafting from there was quite strong.
‘It’s as if an unexpected pumpkin has rolled in on a vine.’
Andrew has currently entered the Black Snowfield to obtain ice crystals according to the organization’s orders.
They planned to make a deal with the King of Blood so that his forces could unite the Black Snowfield and remain a reliable ally, and in return they would bring in General Dong, who would make them useless.
But Mervinger’s contemporary successor appeared here?
Considering that there were still many executives within the organization who harbored deep resentment toward Mervinger, it was a very good opportunity to get a high score.
Of course, that didn’t mean he ignored Elric.
The opponent is the natural enemy of all people.
Because I didn’t know what kind of hand I would have.
But that didn’t mean I thought highly of it.
‘The level of the guy currently identified by the organization is at best a mage or a little lower than that.’
Andrew’s eyes shone coldly.
‘It is said that he became a disciple of White Night, but it would be difficult to see a significant difference in his skill increase in that short period of time… Even if he learned new magic, there would not be much change.’
Whiiing!
Andrew quickly figured out that the cold wave caused by General Dong was not mixed with any other heterogeneous magic scent.
It seems that the white night and blue lion that were on guard did not come here…!
‘I guess I can defeat him without difficulty.’
Andrew rushed towards Elric, thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to completely cut off Mervinger at this point.
Squirt-
“What is this? “Did you immediately fall in love with it when you saw it?”
Elric was dumbfounded when Andrew attacked without saying anything.
‘I heard that Mervinger is classified above duke in the Empire in recognition of his past achievements… but he doesn’t seem to have the dignity of a nobleman either.’
From the beginning, the Grigori that Andrew worked for were one of the most powerful groups in the demon race, and he was born with the true name of ‘mad’, which is classified as an elite or noble even there.
Of course, there was no way I would like Elric’s words and actions. All I could think was that it would be better to deal with it as quickly as possible.
The seal of the wind on his right shoulder glowed brightly, and a fierce gust of wind blew.
It ended up trying to tear Elric apart by creating a huge whirlwind…!
Since General Dong’s cold wave would be added to this, he thought he would be able to tear Elric apart with just this.
however.
“A guy similar to me? Don’t talk nonsense. 【Tear apart】.”
Elric suddenly started talking as if there was someone in the empty space and stretched out his hand.
Then, I felt something flash at my fingertips, and the whirlwind that Andrew had created dispersed and disappeared like a lie.
‘What is this…!’
Andrew couldn’t help but be embarrassed as he approached Elric in a whirlwind.
Because Elric was right in front of me.
“【Split】.”
Sigh!
Then, Andrew quickly changed direction as he felt as if some of his torn wind was changing direction.
Then, the blizzard split where he was, leaving traces as if the claws of a wild beast had scratched across the snowy field on the ground.
Andrew had to feel a chill running down his spine for a moment.
If I had been hit by that, my back might have been broken in pieces.
“Oh you avoided this? Then try blocking this too. 【Swing it around】.”
Elric laughed humorously and flipped his palm outstretched in front of him, drastically changing the direction of the magic field.
Whihwihwihwi!
This time, a ‘snowstorm’ appeared in a whirlwind following Elric.
When the cold wave from the seal of cruelty, the vicious nature of the seal of evil nature, and the fierce wind created by the seal of cold wind were all mixed together, the power was absolutely incomparable to before.
Andrew instinctively realized that that side was superior to the Seal of the Wild Wind and quickly took a step back.
At the same time, he squeezed his demonic energy with all his might and raised the ‘Wall of Storms’ one after another.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-
kwa- Boom!
bang!
Quaaaang!
However, the protective shield created by hastily gathering wind could not hold on for long and collapsed one after another, and eventually even the last remaining wall was shattered.
‘How on earth could this person have the power of General Dong…!’
Andrew was horrified.
Because Elric was carelessly using ‘North Wind’ and ‘Snowfall’, which the organization had been trying so hard to have but could never have!
North wind cold snow.
The wind that devours and tears everything in the world.
A heavy snowfall that covers the entire civilization in pure white and freezes everything.
These two must be one of the four great powers that the demon god left behind for future demons…!
It was also a power that Grigori must obtain as he wanted to resurrect Azazel and cause the fall of the empire by starting a new Great Demon War.
General Dong was a necessary ingredient to obtain such a North Wind Cold Snow.
However, because it was considered so great, the organization was at a loss as to how to approach it.
Are you saying humans do that?
From none other than Mervinger, the enemy…?
but.
Whether Andrew was shocked or not, Elric had already come within a stone’s throw and was swinging his fist at a furious speed.
A blow so fast and fierce that you’d wonder if he was really a wizard.
Gang body art.
Meng Hao Appears – Gyeong (勁).
‘Even strong body techniques!’
Fuuuuuuu!
A large amount of magical energy was concentrated at the tip of Elric’s fist and then exploded, blowing Andrew’s entire body away.
“Wow!”
Andrew had to jump backwards, feeling the terrible pain of having a third of his body fly away.
Elric followed right behind him.
Gang body art.
Oh Shenyang – Nan (亂).
Puff puff poop!
As the barrage continued, Andrew could not come to his senses.
Still, Andrew decided that he had to fix the situation somehow, so he quickly turned over in the air and pounded the ground with his hands.
A violent wind blew from Andrew’s fingertips, turning the ground upside down. A pure white earthen wall was erected, blocking Elric’s advance, and in the meantime, Andrew quickly pushed his body out as much as possible, trying to repair his broken body.
He vomited out a lot of dead blood. As my broken limbs recovered, my confused mind calmed down little by little.
Andrew had no choice but to admit that the judgment he and his organization had made was too complacent.
Mervinger’s contemporary successors were much stronger than they realized.
‘At least 7 circles!’
In addition, seeing that he freely uses the martial arts of the Tiger Family, which is clearly known to have been practiced, he could be classified as a martial artist.
Considering his age, it was clear that he would not be inferior to the three gods who were already said to be among the best in the empire!
‘If this continues, I will lose.’
Andrew bit his lower lip.
His ability lies in his natural resourcefulness and brain power to devise grand strategies, not in armed conflict like this.
In the end, Andrew decided that he would not be able to catch Elric on his own and had to quickly take action to overcome this situation.
So, I took the scroll out of my pocket and quickly tore it open. Although it was engraved with warp magic that allowed it to move directly to specified coordinates.
‘why…?’
Only the effect was brilliantly broken and falling, but the magic was not actually activated.
“Of course it won’t work. “I made you not do that.”
“…!”
At that moment, Elric’s voice rang in my ears.
Although Andrew straightened his back.
Before that, Elric had already grabbed the back of Andrew’s head and pinned him to the ground.
Kwaaaaang!
The ground overturned and Andrew’s facial skeleton was completely shattered.
* * *
[It’s nothing, you bastard. I thought he was a bit strong, but it seems he’s just a random mob?]
Elric laughed as he climbed on top of Andrew’s body, which was still squirming even with half of his head broken.
At first, it was only half-joking that Mephisto caught him and I was happy about it.
Still, just looking at the energy she was giving off, she seemed stronger than Kaya, whom I had faced before before coming to the north, so I was nervous.
When I actually encountered it, my impressions were very simple.
‘Is it too easy?’
Elric could tell that it was not simply because the guy was weaker than he thought, but because he had become stronger.
It seems that the results obtained from the arrangement were much greater than expected.
“joy! “He’s a follower of that guy Azazel, so he only looks good on the outside.”
Mephisto said it was no big deal, as if he didn’t like Elric’s condescending attitude, but looking at his eyes, it was clear that he was quite surprised.
Elric thought so and clicked his tongue lightly while looking at Mephisto.
Meanwhile, I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the guy who was still busy squirming.
‘You mean Grigori is reaching out here too? It also seems like the collusion with the King of Blood is stronger than I thought… I’ll have to dig into this in more detail.’
Elric had no intention of simply killing this guy that had rolled into his hands. I could feel the beast’s seal squirming, saying it wanted to taste this guy, but Elric told it to stay still and hit the guy hard.
Then, he pulled out the merciless chains and tried to tie Andrew up.
Suddenly, the guy started shaking like an epileptic patient and went limp.
“Hey what? “Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
Elric was scared and tried to touch the animal, wondering if it might be dead, but suddenly saw that the seal on his right shoulder took on an ominous color.
Kikikick! I guess you better be careful?
Even before Hyul’s thoughts could warn him, Andrew’s waist had already folded halfway back and he swung his hand blade.
It was completely different from the momentum I had ever felt from this guy, so I had to quickly pull the shadow up to the blade of my hand and explode a ‘small number’.
Damn it!
As magic energy and cold waves collide in the air, frozen pieces of magic energy bounce into the air.
Elric stood wide apart and activated three seals at the same time, completing the basic technique of rigid body techniques.
Tsutsutsu-
Meanwhile.
Andrew’s body, which had been limp like a dead body, floated in the air, flowing out magical energy.
It was clear to anyone that a third party had appeared and was intervening, not Andrew’s own will.
The problem is… the demonic energy emanating from there is qualitatively completely different from the wild wind seals that Andrew has seen so far!
At that time, the seal of the storm was distorted and slightly transformed into a new seal.
Andrew’s head popped up.
The two eyes were glaring at Elric with a fierce glare.
‘Devil…?’
Elric’s back tensed without even realizing it, thinking that the person who borrowed Andrew’s body might be just as good as Hyul’s body, or perhaps even better.
Goosebumps appeared along my back.
An unknown demon king spoke through Andrew’s mouth.
“you. as. nine. me. card. hey. cast. porridge. It was. Dawn. bloke. this.”
Just when Elric was about to say something to that.
『…Azazel? Have you really opened your eyes already?』
Mephisto, who was right next to me, opened his eyes in disbelief.
