Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 188

Episode 188 :

Interpretation of authority

!

It seemed like that sound was coming from somewhere.

“This bastard…?”

One of Elric’s eyebrows twitched.

He had no choice but to do so. I never thought the Guardian would react like this.

He knew that the Guardian was not truly obedient.

He is bound to the power of the North Wind and only follows Otto Han’s orders because of the legacy he left behind.

Still, I was thinking that he must be sincere to some extent since he has been faithfully following orders.

I never thought he would laugh at me so blatantly.

『Why are you so upset? It seems very obvious.』

But Mephisto just burst out laughing, saying it was fun.

As Elric glared at him with an annoyed expression, Mephisto raised one corner of his mouth.

『You should have told me? These guys are the ones who once gave even our Demon Lord a headache.』

“….”

『Now, they have fallen from bad to worse and have become nothing more than the glory they had back then, and they have become nothing but pride. It will remain very strong.』

Elric sighed lightly.

In the end, isn’t there only one thing to do here?

“Then I have to make these guys truly obey me.”

There was no answer this time.

I just laugh without saying a word.

But Elric could see that it was the correct answer.

-Elicits the loyalty of the guardian.

Perhaps that was a completely natural thing for him to become the new head of the Mervinger family.

These are old vassals of the family. So how can we say that we will rebuild the family if we cannot receive their loyalty?

If so, here again a problem arises.

How can we win the loyalty of the Guardians?

There are many ways to establish a vassal.

By showing heroic aspects like the servants of the stars, they can create admiration and voluntarily gather together.

As the Neresta family often does, it becomes a strong breakwater that blocks the waves of the world.

Or, it would be a good idea to give it a great deal of power like the Inspection Bureau.

but.

The above methods will not be of much help to guardians who have already died a long time ago.

For them, emotions such as desire and ambition that only the living would have have long since been castrated.

Only regrets will remain.

If so, there is only one way left.

Something that satisfies that lingering desire.

“also. If you are a warrior, you have no choice but to subjugate them by force.”

To prove that you are worthy of being the head of the Mervinger family.

That might be the only way to win over the Guardian’s loyalty.

If so, they will actively cooperate with the possession and ultimately be able to greatly increase their potential.

“【Come out】.”

Elric stretched out his hand forward. Then, a small sheet of ice spread on the floor, and something that looked like a long icicle rose up and I caught it in my hand.

Ice spear. The main weapon used by the guy in front of me is a spear. The intention was to defeat them by confronting them with the same weapon.

At that moment, the blue flames on the ghost knight’s snowball blazed even bigger.

He realized what Elric was trying to do.

Then one lip twitched even further.

It seemed as if he was saying he could handle it.

It was as if he was saying that he would not be looked after just because he was the owner.

But that was actually what Elric wanted.

He raised his ice spear and pointed it at the ghost knight, cackling.

“Come at me.”

Typical provocation.

But that was enough.

Faaat –

Without any hesitation, the ghost knight grabbed his spear tightly and launched himself towards Elric.

A truly agile movement. It seemed like he was demonstrating how he was able to defeat Cheongrang so easily.

Kwakwakwak!

That’s how the collision began and an explosion occurred.

The ground turned over and ice cubes flew out.

『A rebellious old vassal and a monarch who wants to strike down that vassal.』

Mephisto burst into laughter as he looked at those two people.

『There really is no separate Konggaru family.』

It was truly a fun fight to watch.

* * *

‘fast!’

That was Elric’s first thought as soon as he collided with the ghost knight.

The ghost knight was so fast that his movements could not easily be followed. If I hadn’t forged a lot of anglerfish, I would never have been able to predict its movements.

In the blink of an eye, the blade of his spear reached the nape of my neck. It would have been dangerous if the ice spear hadn’t stopped him along the way.

Kirilik.

At that moment, the ghost knight’s head tilted to the side again.

The blue flame of the snowball grew slightly.

He seems surprised and surprised.

That touched Elric’s pride.

‘You bastard!’

Chaaaaang!

Elric turned his magic power to its full potential. Then, following the techniques of Gangchejutsu, my muscles gained strength.

In terms of physical strength, Elric was superior. The ghost knight’s spear flew to the side.

Then the loophole becomes clearly visible. Elric walked through them and stabbed the ice spears one after another.

Whoosh whoosh –

Every time the spear blade pierced the air, a small whirlwind emerged from the tip of the spear.

〈Five Whirlwinds〉. The hidden secret of the spear technique I had learned from the Blue Hawk was also revealed.

Much cleaner and deeper movements than when dealing with Judah.

It was proof that he had already learned the techniques deeply after experiencing a real battle once.

It seemed like it would be difficult for even an expert level martial artist to deal with him carelessly.

but.

Cha cha cha chang!

The ghost knight moved very skillfully, deflecting one attack after another.

He even made bold movements, as if he was protesting and saying, “Don’t even think about swinging your spear carelessly,” as if that was the extent of the gap between you and yourself.

At the same time, he even showed a fierce counterattack.

Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn!

Every time the spear tore through the air, there was a tremendous roar, as if it were thunder.

Quack! Kwa-kwa-

kwa- rrr!

Elric tried to somehow follow the ghost knight’s spear trajectory with his mind’s eye.

However, no matter how hard you try to cut the texture that was stuck in the air, it will soon become loose, and when you think it doesn’t exist, it will suddenly create itself, targeting his loopholes.

Then Agwigam always shouted.

Avoid it.

Kwaaaaang!

Instead of trying to block the window, Elric instinctively dropped his body backwards, thinking it was dangerous.

Then, the ghost knight’s spear was stuck in the spot where he was and the ground rose more than 3 meters.

Patter patter!

Stone dust and sand poured down like rain.

There was a very deep crater where the spear blade hit directly.

『It was dangerous this time?』

[I know that… I know that!]

Without even having time to properly respond to Mephisto’s scolding, he leaned back again.

Just like before, a spear blade carrying a strong shock wave was flying. I could see the tip of the spear shaking slightly. A vortex was drawn, and the vortex created with a powerful suction force was compressed into a very small form, causing super vibration.

I wondered if “Five Whirlwinds” would look like this if it reached its ultimate conclusion by learning not only the secrets but also all the hidden secrets.

No, that was clearly the case.

‘You’re kidding me!’

The ghost knight was unraveling ‘The Five Whirlwinds’ in his own way.

It seemed like he had acquired all the necessary skills while possessing Elric. And since the accomplishments he achieved during his lifetime were so high, he was able to dismantle them one by one and bring them to the level of recreation.

If Haman, the original owner, had seen it, he would have been astonished. One day, his German language skills, which he had deeply trained in order to interpret ‘Boramae’s Spirit’, were in tatters.

The problem was that the level was several levels higher than this one.

That was unpleasant for Elric.

Because it was easy to see what the ghost knight was thinking when he did something that bordered on entertainment.

They laugh at how they can submit themselves to a subject that can’t even do this.

They just say that they will continue to recognize the authority of the head of the family as they have done so far, so they should not even dream of voluntary loyalty.

He was saying that the person to whom he and they would be loyal was Otto Han, not you, who could not even reach his feet.

‘They won’t bow their heads easily or something like that?’

Even if I tried to follow the trajectory with my mind’s eye, it wasn’t easy at all.

If you try to block it, it will turn to the side and aim for a loophole, and if you try to avoid it, it will suddenly explode and block your movement.

It was clearly ‘Five Whirlwinds’, but it was definitely not ‘Five Whirlwinds’.

The grain was scattered and broken. It came together and disappeared.

The mind’s eye was completely useless in dealing with this guy. No, on the contrary, it was dangerous because it gave the wrong judgment.

This was a result of the fact that it was an area that was difficult to understand at Elric’s current level, as would be the case with possession.

Tsutsutsu –

Did he read Elric’s increasingly impatient intentions? The shadow fluttered.

Shall I help you?

Cynical laughter.

Mephisto was now somewhat familiar to me, like a friend, but this guy was nothing like that.

I still felt the inside being insidious and full of greed.

‘That’s enough, get out of there.’

You’re doing it too much. As a loyal confidant, I am only trying to help my master and discipline his disloyal subordinates.

After the seal of Hyeongsal was created. Hyul’s thought form began to become more clearly visible.

If you use the Hungsal Seal here, you will be able to follow the ghost knight’s movements to some extent. As its destructive power will increase, it will be possible to suppress it.

‘Fuck off.’

But Elric never asked for his help.

If you do that, even if you defeat the ghost knight, you will never be able to elicit voluntary loyalty.

I had to defeat it only with my spear.

hmm! It’s not fun.

Tsk. Hyul’s thought form quietly subsided, making a sound like that.

Could it be that he simply wanted to swallow the ghost knight? Elric had that thought.

Faaah!

At that time, the ghost knight’s spear shot up from below.

The target is between Elric’s eyebrows.

“Sigh!”

Elric took a deep breath and raised his left hand upwards, causing the lower spear blade to shoot out.

however.

Whoa!

Suddenly, the spear blade that was stabbing this direction turned downward.

Typical fake motion.

‘this!’

The ice spear that tried to block it ended up having no choice but to cross the empty void.

When a loophole finally appeared, the ghost knight quickly hung up Elric’s leg.

puck!

Udangtang.

Elric lost his balance and had to roll on the floor.

He quickly tried to stand up again, but the blade of the spear reached his chin before he could.

The ghost knight was looking down with his chin raised high.

A gaze that is utterly arrogant. It seemed as if he was saying that he still thought he was qualified to be the owner after all this.

『You’re not going to end it there, are you?』

[That can’t be right!]

Elric laid his face back and swung the ice spear that had fallen to the ground.

The ghost knight tried to aim for Elric’s head, but changed the trajectory of the spear midway to block the ice spear.

Chaaaaang!

There was a loud crashing sound, and part of the ice window shattered. Ice powder spattered and obscured the space between the two.

The ghost knight quickly tried to pull back his spear, but suddenly another ice spear came out from a blind spot and aimed at the helmet.

The guy hurriedly turned the window to the side and tried to block it. However, in the meantime, the ice powder split on the other side and another ice spear came out and reached the back of the ghost knight’s neck.

“One to one. Right?”

Another ice spear touches the back of the ghost knight’s neck. It was held in Elric’s left hand.

Double Spear (雙槍). Fake motion with the existing ice spear to deceive the ghost knight and win with another ice spear.

It’s like getting back exactly what the ghost knight did to Elric a little while ago.

….

The ghost knight had to look at Elric with serious eyes.

and.

Cha cha cha chang!

As if nothing had happened, the clash continued again.

Unlike before, it was no longer a one-sided fight.
