Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 117
Episode 117:
Flower spring cold
Elric’s head jerked in that direction.
Azazel was resurrected?
That was not a fact that could just be ignored.
Even in the Great Demon War that shook the continent 30 years ago, there were only Demon King-level figures in the Demon camp at the time.
Of course, if you know it, there may have been a great demon king level among them with a greater status than is known, but in any case, as far as is known, there was no one with absolute power who ran the demon camp in an orderly manner.
On the other hand, the human camp was able to deal with it efficiently because it had a unified system called the empire.
The defeat of the demon camp was due to that very reason.
But the Great Demon King Azazel, who is said to be comparable to Mephisto, has been resurrected?
It was a matter that needed to be reported immediately to the imperial family or Yukmangseong.
In fact, Elric could tell that the level of magical energy emanating from the being possessing Andrew’s body was unusual.
However, perhaps because it was a small amount, I had no idea what the level was.
Therefore, the surprise was bound to be greater.
but.
『…No.』
Mephisto glared at Andrew for a while and suddenly sighed in relief.
Elric pressed his lips urgently.
[What do you mean?]
『He’s a clone.』
[Clone?]
『A deteriorated version of Azazel who wanted to become Azazel but couldn’t… Well, you can look at it that way.』
Mephisto realizes that the opponent is a much lower being than he thought. Now that I found out, I was even laughing at it.
『The four great demon kings, including this king, are all sealed or dead. In particular, Azazel was torn to pieces and died. It means that its existence has been deleted. However, as long as the true name remains, extinction does not exist outside of humanity.』
[…Azazel’s true name remains?]
Mephisto shook his head loudly.
『I’m not sure, but that’s what the king assumed. Otherwise, how could Grigori still be around? And looking at that now, it seems to be true.』
It meant that Grigori was carrying out all kinds of experiments in order to resurrect Azazel, or more accurately, to regenerate his true name, ‘madness’.
As soon as he thought about it, Azazel’s totem that he had found in various slash-and-burn villages on his way north came to Elric’s mind.
Wasn’t there a considerable amount of demonic energy inside it?
Magi boasted such pure purity and density that it could even be called pure evil.
Apparently, they were all used for Azazel’s resurrection.
‘I thought it was simply a sacrifice to gain faith… but it was much bigger than that, right?’
As Elric, there was even more reason not to leave Grigori alone.
[So, to put it simply, that guy is in the same state as Mephie?]
『What?』
Mephisto glared at Elric with an annoyed face, asking how he could compare himself to such a yawning deteriorator.
Elric shrugged his shoulders.
[Isn’t that right? They say that Mephi is a thought form whose main body has been completely torn away, leaving only the skin.]
『Still, this king has the identity of Mephistopheles! You have all the memories and powers, so how can you compare yourself to something fake like that!』
Elric was able to get the answer he wanted by watching Mephisto get angry so easily.
‘To put it simply, there are a lot of people like that within Grigori.’
How strong would it be if it actually appeared instead of being possessed?
Elric couldn’t help but think that way for a moment.
It was obvious that Grigori would become his archenemy in the future.
In that case, I thought it would be a good idea to get some information about the other person here.
“then?”
So Elric decided not to hide his identity from them anymore.
Since he would be being chased hard by the inspection bureau anyway, it was clear that it would be difficult to harm him right away.
“that. That’s right. all. noodle.”
Andrew was crushed and gritted his teeth, burning his demonic energy even louder.
“porridge. uh. hey. ji.”
Hwaaaah!
The demonic energy spread like wildfire.
“Then it’s time to go. Can’t you speak properly? “Abboobbo.”
Elric did not show any signs of fear and even sneered.
Paaaat!
Andrew took a step forward with a very distorted face. Then, the new type seemed to fall down and appear in front of Elric.
Elric, who had already noticed the animal’s movements based on the warning given by the anglerfish, was already quickly swinging his five claws.
Gang body art.
The appearance of a fierce tiger.
Boom –
The two people are pushed backwards along with the shock wave.
“【Swing】. And 【bind】.”
Elric deployed ‘Blizzard’ and ‘Chain of Relentlessness’ one after another among the three magics he had created.
Whihwihwi!
The magical energy emitted simultaneously from the Seal of Cold Wind and the Seal of Relentlessness seeped into the magic field, creating a huge snowstorm across the area.
“joy!”
Andrew snorted and injected a lot of magical energy into the seal of the storm. A gust of much stronger strength than the one unleashed by the real Andrew collided with the snow wind in the opposite direction, causing strong sparks to fly out.
Quad deuk!
Through the snow, chains bounced one after another like moles, forcibly binding Andrew’s hands and feet.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Quack! Quang –
However, the magic energy that Andrew was spraying was so powerful that he couldn’t even approach it properly and was often broken in the process.
However, while Andrew was busy blocking his magic, Elric was quickly cleverly digging into blind spots and deploying ‘small numbers’ with his palms wide open.
“【Be cool】.”
Gang body art.
Black Tiger Jwa-dong – A
transparent cluster of light bursts from the center of the field, and the right hand turns pure white in an instant.
“【Break down】.”
The moment it touched Andrew’s left side, the highly concentrated ice poison burst out, instantly frostbiting half of his upper body.
And with a brief shout, the statues were split into small pieces all at once.
Damn it!
Pieces of frozen flesh flew into the air with an explosion sound, as if glass had broken
.
Ice fever.
It was the signature skill that the King of Snow Mountain boasted during his arrangements.
A technique that instantly freezes the opponent and then destroys them.
However, even though Andrew’s entire upper body was blown off, he showed no signs of pain.
No, on the contrary, he poured out greater amounts of magical energy to repair his broken body, while bending his remaining arm like a hook to sweep Elric’s side.
“【Soar】 【Become strong】.”
Elric quickly stamped his foot on the ground. The snow flew upward, creating a solid wall of ice, blocking Andrew’s attack.
“【Pierce】.”
A lot of ice arrows formed and poured forward.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Quaaang –
Andrew twisted his body wildly in place and swung his fists repeatedly. It was so fast that the ice arrow that flew through the fist shattered and fell down.
Looking at that scene, Elric had to click his tongue inwardly.
Because the opponent was much stronger than I thought.
‘If you’re this strong just by possessing someone, how strong is your actual body?’
A guy like this wouldn’t have such a low status even within the Grigori.
“Let me ask you your name. “What is your name?”
“….”
But Andrew continued to attack even more fiercely, snorting as if asking, “What kind of name does a guy who is about to die need?”
Puff puff poop!
Elric also tried to push Andrew into a corner by spraying ‘few hands’ one after another, blocking the attack, then digging in and counterattacking.
It was a close battle that would never have been possible if I hadn’t learned the powerful body technique in Anbae and raised the seal of ruthlessness to ‘Great Saint’.
Kwaaaaang!
Then, as their fists collided, Elric had to turn sharply to the right and Andrew had to turn sharply to the left to straighten his posture.
With a blizzard passing between them, Elric had to glare at Andrew with his mind’s eye.
I could see that there was a much larger amount of grain condensed into it than when I first saw it.
The longer the possession continued, the greater the gap between the body and the soul, which meant that the weaknesses increased.
On the contrary, as time passed, Andrew’s offensive not only became more harsh, but its destructive power also increased.
‘It means that the vessel’s life force is being forcibly consumed… but it’s still not easy.’
Since it was unknown how much vitality was left in Andrew’s body, there was no way to immediately reverse the situation.
『It was dismissed as a replica or an inferior version, but it is still an imitation of the Great Demon King. It would be embarrassing in its own way to be defeated so easily by a late-stage Jisoo like you.』
You still have a long way to go. Mephisto was saying that.
And Elric had no choice but to admit those words.
As it is, it is a close match at best.
Considering that this place was in the middle of Fury’s territory, it wasn’t a very good option.
just as expected.
“what?”
“Everyone stop. “Didn’t you hear something?”
No matter how loud the noise of the cold wave created by General Dong was, the fight between Elric and Andrew was so rough that it was impossible to deceive all the beastmen with sensitive senses.
Even more so now that the guard against intruders is so tight.
“I think there’s something in there…!”
“We found traces of an intruder!”
“Teams 2 and 5 will follow me immediately!”
I saw the beastmen moving in a hurry in this direction.
Although they couldn’t find Elric right now due to General Dong’s blizzard and darkness blocking their view, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
‘Oh, if I do this, I’m completely out.’
For Elric, who had originally planned to steal General Dong and escape without a word, his plan went completely awry.
“ah. radish. they say. do. my. go. this. long. thing. Same. army.”
Andrew also seemed to have noticed Elric’s situation and was twisting the corner of his mouth coldly.
Faaaa!
The demonic energy once again created ripples and spread across the ground. At the same time, the wind that had been raging fiercely changed its nature and began to pull Elric toward the center.
The intention was to tie him up here so he couldn’t escape.
Elric canceled Andrew’s winds one by one with the seal of the cold wind, while looking into empty space with his mind’s eye.
I could see the beastmen approaching this way at every moment. If things continued like this, it was clear that a siege would be established in less than five minutes and there would be no way to escape.
I didn’t even think about using invisibility and presence blocking magic like I did when I first sneaked in. It was obvious that Andrew would never let such an attempt be made.
That wasn’t the only problem.
“Come. army.”
Tsutsutsu –
With Andrew’s light, summoning circles were created throughout the snowy field, and other demons began to appear one by one.
These guys all have magical energy comparable to Andrew before he was possessed.
It seemed like they were all Grigori demons.
If things were like this, they wouldn’t even blink an eye if you put these things in a set.
『As it is, we are completely stranded. Do you have any good ideas?』
It was enough to make Elric annoying.
Mephisto also seemed to see through the situation and wanted to see how he would overcome this crisis.
[Is there one? No. If I have a little more time, I can exhaust all my vitality and blow it away, but that’s not possible right now.]
『Then what are you going to do?』
[Do you know that, Mephie?]
『What?』
[Our family has a very good culture.]
『. ..?』
[If I can’t have it, make sure others can’t have it either.]
『…!』
Mephisto sensed what Elric meant and looked at him in bewilderment.
Elric quickly poured all his magical power into the three seals.
Hahaha!
A snowy wind blew, shadows seeped into it, and jagged teeth were revealed through the wind.
“【Gather】 【Pour Out】.”
Elric compressed it to the maximum, created a cutting wind sharper than most swords, and poured it towards Andrew.
“her. Ton. act.”
Andrew thought Elric was putting up meaningless resistance when he was pushed into danger, so he snorted and pulled the storm inward.
And at the same time, the demons who received the signal took out their weapons and ran towards Elric.
But didn’t Elric suddenly turn the hand he had stretched out in the opposite direction?
“radish. “Sun.”
Andrew, who realized that it was a kind of beast that constitutes magic, had a flash of thought later.
“new year. mind!”
In a hurry, I tried to pour the wind that had been pulled inward back into Elric.
Pababat!
Before that, the sharp wind had already lost its direction and scattered in all directions… hitting the chains that were restraining General Dong one after another.
and.
Even the magic circle drawn deep in the snowy field below has been completely turned upside down!
Since the magic device that had been sealing General Dong up until now was created by Usdun Mervinger, Elric knew its flaws better than anyone else.
Chachaechaechaeng!
The chains that were restraining General Dong all burst apart in an instant.
“I’m crazy…!”
Andrew’s scream was soon drowned out by General Dong’s screams and the cold wave.
