Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 179
Episode 179:
Golden Comet
『There is no such thing as a bonanza?』
Mephisto burst into laughter as he looked at the demons spread out widely at Elric’s feet.
As the Great Demon King, he could definitely feel it.
This place is full of Azazel’s descendants, who were his enemies in the past!
What will happen if we take away all the seals they have?
How much strength can you get back?
Mephisto’s heart automatically pounded just thinking about it.
and.
Elric, who had succeeded in ambushing those who had been aiming for a surprise attack, was clicking his tongue.
‘no wonder. ‘I thought there was something more.’
When barbarians flocked to the barracks base. Elric felt that the Red Lion Army’s counterattack would not end at this point.
Because it would be like an opportunity for them.
So, after releasing the ghost and secretly searching far and wide to see if there was another ambush, we were able to find them right away.
‘I heard they joined hands with demons. Wasn’t it just a false accusation?’
Even without Mephisto’s reaction, Elric could easily tell that they all belonged to ‘Grigori’.
Because they have clashed frequently ever since the Black Snowfield. It would be even weirder if you couldn’t sense the unique, crazy magic power they possessed.
So, I couldn’t feel any sympathy for the Red Lion Army that joined hands with them.
Still, I thought that Claymore Sagnad might be a good person considering that he tried to remain loyal until the end.
I even thought that I might have been falsely accused by Crown Prince Zereitz, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
In reality, after being declared a traitor, he had no choice but to join hands with Grigori.
As the head of the Mervinger family, who was on a mission to eradicate the demons, the enemies he had no choice but to face in the end were the same.
And now.
Elric was trying to exterminate the Grigori according to his mission!
Kwakwakwakwa!
A fierce winter storm raged.
It swept over the place where the demons were located in an instant, as if General Dong had been moved from the black snow field.
Because of this, many of the demons were frozen in place without being able to do anything.
The power of the cold wind at absolute zero that chilled the atmosphere was that great.
There are so many delicious things…!
Kyakyakya!
Thanks to this, it was Hyul’s resignation that made me excited.
Tsutsutsu –
The shadow spreads widely along the hill.
Serrated teeth protruded from all over the place and swallowed up a large number of dead demons in one bite.
It looked like a great white shark that instantly snatched a seal swimming in the sea and cut it into pieces with just the strength of its jaws.
Wow!
Wow!
Magi was absorbed into Elric at a rapid rate.
Even the demons who had somehow survived the winter storm were getting tired of the obsession of the Hul thought form that was persistently following them.
Hahaha!
Suddenly, a powerful wave of air spread through the winter storm.
A group of sharp, flashing black lights cut through the center of the winter storm, like a large knife cutting through the center of a cake.
Papa papa!
Chop, tsk, tsk tsk –
In the end, the winter storm lost its focus and scattered in all directions. The strong wind suddenly tore up the ice-covered ground and the bushes where snowflakes had bloomed collapsed.
At the center.
Judas shouted, his eyes flashing coldly.
“Me-le-bing-geo-!”
Cuckoo!
The shouting was very loud. Echoes rang out everywhere. The mountainside was shaking so much that I thought it might collapse.
Judas was very angry.
That was because he had never had the upper hand in all his clashes with Elric.
Every time he goes through a hard time to lay the groundwork, Elric comes and overturns it.
Same thing this time too.
I thought I had definitely trapped Elric, but instead, I ended up allowing a surprise attack.
Thanks to this, nearly half of the troops brought had to be blown away without being able to use them properly.
but.
There was something else that drove him the most crazy.
“How-how can you-be ‘spreading nonsense’?”
North wind and cold snow.
How can he use the power he tried to obtain by capturing General Dong in the Black Snowfield so skillfully?
He knew best that this winter storm that was holding him back was one of the two powers.
“It’s our power!”
“no. “Wrong.”
Elric smiled coldly as he watched Judah scolding like a child far below him.
“It’s the power of the original family.”
Elric rushed straight to where Judas was.
“Juk-yeo-ju-ma-!”
The moment Judah’s frantic seal grew brighter, the skin on his back split and the jackdaw’s wings soared.
And then the horns of a mountain goat sprouted above his head.
It was very similar to Azazel’s appearance in a booklet that Elric once read at home.
bang!
Spike –
Judas stepped on the ground and rushed towards Elric like a bullet.
The two beings clashed with each other in the air.
Kwaaaaang!
Kurrrr –
A tremendous roar rang out as magical energy shining like a pure white jewel collided with magical energy as dark as pitch black, and shattered energy waves were scattered everywhere.
‘It’s not easy either.’
Elric had to frown as he looked at his right arm, which throbbed as if it would break at any moment.
This wasn’t the only thing.
Some of the demonic forces attempted to infiltrate the magic circuit. I used my magic power to tear it apart in an instant, but if I had hit it, I would have suffered serious internal injuries.
Even though it only happened once, it was like this.
Even when I tried to possess and fight a subordinate in the black snow field, I thought he was a formidable opponent, but in reality, I saw that he was really strong, even stronger.
Even though I was borrowing Han Seol’s power, it was like this.
『It would be better to do your best from the beginning. Even if it’s a fake, it’s true that it has at least some of Azazel’s power.』
Mephisto was smiling with his fangs showing for the first time in a while.
He was not an easy man who had always suffered from Elric. For the first time in a while, his cruel side as the Great Demon King was revealed.
It was probably because I encountered the shadow of an old enemy.
『If necessary, I could recite that guy’s weaknesses.』
[No. That’s it.]
Elric rejected Mephisto’s subtle offer.
[First of all, I want to fight with only my strength.]
『Really?』
[I haven’t had a chance to fully exert the power of authority until now.]
『Then there’s nothing I can do.』
[If it’s really difficult, I’ll send an SOS.]
Mephisto As if he was being told to do whatever he wanted, he was about to fall back and Elric also landed on the ground.
bang!
Then, while raising my magic power again, I tried to turn towards Judas.
“All of Grigori’s demons, kill Mervinger!”
Paat –
Pabat!
As soon as the demons escaped the effects of the winter storm, they all rushed at Elric.
There was no trace of hesitation whatsoever.
In both eyes, there was only hostility toward Elric.
No, more accurately, it felt as if the wick was being forcibly adjusted by something.
Elric somehow had to feel a strong sense of déjà vu there.
‘When?’
It seemed that the command given by Judas contained the power to forcibly control them.
‘Did you know that demons would also use something like that?’
I was surprised because it was my first time hearing this, but I thought maybe it could be possible.
According to Mephisto, didn’t the demon seal say that the lower classes are completely subordinate to the upper classes according to the class chart?
Moreover, since Grigori is a religious group that believes in Azazel, the hierarchy will inevitably be established even more clearly. It might have been natural to sacrifice one’s life for the commanding officer’s orders.
‘There was a similar scene in the black snowfield.’
However, if there is a problem.
‘It’s a bit much to deal with all at once.’
It would be nice if I could clash with Judah one-on-one.
This was something that could not be helped since he entered the enemy camp on his own.
Of course, that didn’t mean Elric didn’t have a solution.
Since I had already consumed a significant amount of magical energy while using Hanseol, I planned to delay its activation as much as possible, but it didn’t seem to be going as planned.
“【Get up】.”
So Elric immediately activated the second power, North Wind.
Then, ghost knights began to rise from the shadows that had already spread along the ground.
onetime. It was the moment when the remnants of the heroes who followed Otto Hahn, the winter sage, and spread Mervinger’s status throughout the world… appeared to the outside world for the first time.
This was precisely the reason why Elric decided to leave the main camp alone and come here in person.
Because you can’t show your trump card in a place where there are a lot of eyes watching.
Kyaaa!
Kuoooo –
The guardians let out a long cry all at once.
“Boo North Wind…?”
From the cold snow to the north wind. Judah was almost shocked to see the powers that had been completely taken away.
But the surprise didn’t stop there.
Tsutsutsu –
Shadows suddenly climbed up the guardians’ legs and settled on the weapons each of them were holding.
Seal of malefic nature. The same cruelty and aggression that Demon King Hyul had was instilled in the guardians.
Thanks to.
The dead man’s eyes glowed even more fiercely beneath the helmets each of the ghost knights were wearing…!
“Kill them all.”
That one word was enough.
The guardians aimed their weapons at the demons who were rushing towards them with the sole intention of protecting their master.
Chop-chop-chun –
A cold, sharp wind blew. The reverberations of demonic energy and magic spread.
The battle, which seemed to be going in Grigori’s favor for a moment, immediately turned back to Elric’s side.
“【Dwell in】.”
Here, Elric did not go out, but brought up the last remaining ghost in the magic circuit.
The intention is to attempt possession in order to maximize power before colliding with Judah again.
It wasn’t just possession either.
There were many ghosts left behind by Otto Hahn, and each one had different organs. Among them, there was bound to be at least one ghost with opposing abilities who could be considered a natural enemy.
So, Elric had predicted a ghost that could be considered Judah’s natural enemy a little while ago.
‘Not only that guy, but even Azazel, Grigori’s demons have vicious and violent personalities. On the contrary, if it is a power with a serious and calm nature… ‘You can deal with it more easily.’
At the same time, Elric learned a martial art of just the right nature from the Blue Hawk.
〈Five Whirlwinds〉.
Third, the martial arts taught by Haman were perfect for this.
And now.
The ghost that Elric summoned was an outstanding spearman of the time.
Whoa!
The moment possession is complete.
Elric could feel that the world around him was filled with the art of spearmanship.
Both the anglerfish and the texture drawn by the mind’s eye have become much more vivid.
He stretched his hands out in front of him.
Damn it!
As the moisture in the air froze, a long window of ice formed.
Elric grabbed it and kicked the ground violently.
Paaat –
The time to maintain possession and power is only 4 minutes.
The plan was to kill Judah in it.
