Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 134
Episode 134
: War
[It’s Red Phantom.]
Elric tilted his head.
[Is this the first time you’ve heard this name?]
[Of course. Because it was created not long ago.]
[Then how do you know about my sister?]
[She is an enemy with the leader of the mercenary group I am with.]
[Hmm.]
Elric did not know much about the ‘Black Skull’ to which Hayes belonged.
Not only did I not want to ask how my sister was having a hard time, but she had never bothered to tell me about that place either.
But I knew that Black Skull was no easy task.
‘There are even rumors that it is related to the company’s side.’
If it were a group of assassins opposing the Black Skull, there was certainly no way they would just give away their information.
‘then.’
Elric changed his methods.
I decided to free some of them.
Instead of.
‘Illusionized eye!’
Elric activated the new magic he learned from Gility.
The flies designated as familiars immediately latched onto the assassins who had not yet appeared outside.
[Retreat!] They
decided that it would be difficult to carry out their mission any longer and began to closely follow the retreating guys.
‘When you come, it’s not the time to leave, even if you want to.’
Elric laughs coldly and tries to chase after them as they retreat.
[this! If we continue to neglect missions like this, the very foundation of the organization will be completely uprooted.]
…!
Elric was about to cast an acceleration spell on himself, but suddenly he raised his head upward at the urgent scream of a ghost.
Above the ceiling frame blown away by the explosion.
A man wearing a wooden mask was standing.
Is this really a person?
The eyes visible beyond the mask showed no emotion.
But what shocked Elric even more.
‘There is no texture!’
Flawless.
All living things have a natural texture. Because no one is perfect. Even if he was an unpaid assassin, he was walking around with at least one or two defects, so Elric was able to find him easily.
I don’t know what the hell that man was doing, but there was nothing revolving around him.
Kikiki kick!
It looks like someone interesting has appeared, right?
Hyul’s thoughts in the shadows also giggled as if they had encountered something interesting.
It sounds delicious. It was Hyul’s first comment after seeing the man in the wooden mask.
[It may seem like he’s trying to do something fun, but it contains our secrets.]
The man did not express his voice directly, but expressed his intention in a bizarre way, using magic to create sound waves.
Then, he swung his sword in one go and removed all of Elric’s familiars.
While all this was happening, Elric never took his eyes off the guy even for a moment, even though his eyes were stinging.
Depending on how the man steps forward, the countermeasures he can take also vary.
Sigh!
Just like that, the last familiar was eliminated.
“Who the hell are you? “Who sent you to kill me?”
Prince Cromhell growled and glared at the man in the tree mask.
The fleeing assassins are already being pursued by border guards.
However, he realized that if he did not catch that man, he would not be able to find out who was in charge of this surprise attack.
[You probably don’t think I’m going to tell you, Your Highness.]
“Well. “If you put it bluntly, it’s no fun at all.”
Whoa!
The sword that Prince Cromhel was holding let out a harsh cry.
Sword Howling.
Along with the phenomenon that appears only when the cohesive aura is concentrated to a concentration that can no longer be compressed.
Faat-
Prince Cromhel kicked the ground violently.
As he had done so far, Hermann followed closely behind and attempted a joint attack.
[this! I don’t think there’s anything good about being surrounded by two lions! Hmm!]
The man muttered as if he was embarrassed, but there was no trace of impatience anywhere in his tone.
Cha cha cha chang!
To make it even more interesting, they even showed off a miracle that prevented two lions from joining forces.
It was an outstanding swordsmanship skill that was hard to find in an assassin.
Superior.
It was clear that he had 5 or more chains of talent.
Kwaaaaang!
The three Aurors exploded violently, eventually completely destroying the meeting place.
A thick cloud of dust spread.
[I think I’ve done enough to satisfy you, so I’ll leave my thoughts aside.]
The man stood up high above the dust cloud and lightly bowed his head towards where Prince Cromhel was.
Most of my subordinates had already left this place, so there was nothing more to see. I decide that I need to be a little more careful about the assassination of the 4th prince and try to bury myself in the darkness.
“【Pour】 【Scatter】.”
At that moment, Elric moved.
Whihwihwi!
The blizzard had torn apart the dust clouds, hiding the man’s hiding place.
[…Oops!]
The man in the wooden mask, who had always been easy-going, let out a puzzled voice for the first time.
But either way.
Elric suddenly appeared in front of the man and was raising his magic power to the maximum. The seal of the winter world was activated, and the seal of the evil star added even more power to it.
Gang body art.
After 3 meals.
Cheonho explosion – circle.
Kwakwakwa!
Every time Elric delivered a blow, a whirlwind of force tore through the atmosphere.
As the sharp wind contained in it spread out one after another, ice spread on the floor, and pieces of ice bounced all around without stopping.
Even the tree-clad man could intuitively sense that if he was even slightly exposed to Elric’s attack, something serious would happen.
It was clear that exposure to ice poison would only cause more scars.
The problem was that no matter how hard I tried to push Elric away, he wouldn’t fall off easily.
No, on the contrary, they clung to it even more tenaciously.
Additionally, as the flow of air kept returning inward, ice chains and arrows were raining down one after another, making my hands and feet feel dizzy.
Is that all there is?
Wedge –
A hammer as thick as a human head was flying from behind with an enormous impact.
[Black Skull’s Hong Il-jeom and Mervinger’s Gaju-ra. This is an unexpected situation… Hmm! [There are so many twists.]
Elric and Hayes’ combined efforts fit together so tightly, as if they had been measured with a ruler, that I couldn’t help but admire them just by looking at them.
With Prince Kromhel and Herman added to the mix, it was not easy to defend even if the man in the wooden mask was a strong man.
at last.
[…I can’t help it.]
The man in the wooden mask seemed to sigh lightly, and at that moment, the two eyes visible through the mask flashed widely.
At the same time, I stretched out my left hand to the sword sheath that had been hanging on my back until now.
Chaaaaang!
All the attacks aimed at him bounced back with such an enormous screeching sound that I thought my ears might fall off.
Dual swords. No, should we call this a dual sword style?
The sword held in the right hand was a narrow-width, lightweight rapier commonly used by assassins, but the sword held in the left hand was a scimitar with a gently curved blade.
It was a bizarre form of horsemanship that I had never seen before, even for Elric, who had previously received several lectures on weapons from the Blue Hawk.
He and others present could tell.
The atmosphere surrounding the man in the wooden mask has completely changed.
If just a moment ago it was like a gently swaying breeze, now it was like no wind.
Now, I am like a ghost whose faint presence cannot be felt…
“Get back!”
Hermann was the first to notice the unusual change in the guy and shouted urgently.
[It won’t go as planned.]
But before that, the man in the wooden mask took a step forward.
Faaah!
The existence disappeared completely.
Even though there was clearly no room to hide, it felt like I had cast an invisibility spell on myself.
‘Where is it?’
Elric opened his mind’s eye wide and tried to somehow chase after the man in the tree mask, but there was still no sign of determination.
This is the only way to keep an eye out for who they might be targeting.
Do you have to be that dull to write?
For a moment, I was brought to my senses by the words that Hyul said with a mocking tone.
The anglerfish was screaming.
Something is flying here!
Elric instinctively leaned back and drew the shadow thick and high.
Kwakwakwak!
The attack, which came from nowhere without a sound, instantly destroyed the shadow wall and narrowly grazed Elric’s left shoulder.
My clothes were torn and blood splattered out. In the meantime, I saw a man in a wooden mask half buried in space, with his eyes open in surprise.
[Avoid that? That’s amazing.]
And the way he made a sound of laughter seemed like an older brother who was proud of his younger brother.
But the results after that were not that good.
Chop-ch-chach-
The man in the tree mask hid in space again and launched a series of attacks similar to those from before.
Every time that happened, Elric barely managed to avoid the anglerfish by standing upright, but later ended up rolling around on the floor.
There was no time to cast magic or use magic. Because it was a sharp and sneaky attack that required a lot of concentration just to avoid the attack.
[Mervinger’s matriarch… I’ll have to keep that in mind. I’m also curious about how to read this ‘step’. I guess it was because of you that this assassination failed.]
Then, after rolling around on the floor for a while, when I raised my head, the man in the wooden mask was no longer chasing him.
It led to a different place in a different direction.
Sigh! Sigh!
Sigh!
“Aaaah!”
“cairn! Why… Wow!”
“Where the hell is this guy?”
Dealing with a ghost that cannot be seen or felt is virtually impossible.
Even the knights guarding Prince Cromhell and the masters the border guards were proud of were all unable to offer much resistance and fell helplessly.
“Protect Your Majesty!”
“Border guards must establish a siege! “Shrink this guy’s radius somehow!”
When that happened, those who sensed danger quickly pushed Prince Cromhell back and had the soldiers move to the center of the conference room where they thought the man in the tree mask would be.
This was because he had an obsession with protecting the 4th prince at all costs, even if it meant some sacrifice on the part of the soldiers.
Prince Kromhel’s political weight was that heavy.
Not just because he was a member of the imperial family, but because he was also the person who most opposed the crown prince and had such great public support that he was even called a black lion!
However, there was no time to do anything in a situation where soldiers kept dying and it was unclear where the man in the tree mask was moving.
‘We have to find a way somehow.’
Elric gritted his teeth, thinking that if he stayed like this, he would get in really big trouble.
I turned to my sister, who seemed to know the guy, to see if there was any solution, but she was also biting her lower lip.
‘How to find an invisible ghost… Ghost…’
『It looks like you’ve met someone who isn’t easy.』
The moment Elric heard Mephisto’s laugh, a thought came to mind.
“【Swing】!”
In arrangement. How he found his comrades in General Dong’s territory, where a cold wave hit and darkness fell.
Snow footprints.
Whihwihwi!
As the air inside the conference room cooled, a blizzard of General Dong suddenly swept in, ice spread on the floor, and snow filled up.
Before people even begin to question why Elric suddenly activates a large-scale spell that won’t even help his allies.
I was able to find a very shallow footprint in front of Prince Cromhell.
