Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 199

Episode 199:

The Founder of Dragons

『Naha… Tram?』

Mephisto, who was watching, had a look on his face that made him wonder if he had made a mistake.

The tone in which Elric spoke was not that of the Elric he knew.

Long before that.

It reminded me of a very blunt and cocky man who waved the flag at the vanguard of the army led by the Winter Sage.

In fact, the posture of Elric holding the ice spear… was quite similar to him.

Should I say there is too much overlap?

It seemed as if Nahatram’s proud flag was waving loudly above the ice spear that Elric was holding tightly.

I asked that because I knew that Elric could possess multiple ghosts in his body based on the legacy left behind by Otto Han.

but.

He stared at Elric for a long moment, then clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“no. Is it that shadow?』

Nahatram, like Otto Hahn, is a limb of Mervinger that blocked Mephisto’s path.

So, you may feel resentful, but as so many years have passed, somewhere in the resentment, there is also a sense of joy mixed in.

But now what caught his eye was Nahatram, but not Nahatram.

It was just Elric.

It’s just that Elric wears Nahatram’s ‘mask’, reads his thoughts, and follows his traces.

It wasn’t like my body was taken away or anything like that.

On the contrary, Elric was trying to use Nahatram as a ‘tool’.

『Did you even assign your six ‘snowflakes’ as guardians? Otto Han’s arrangement is very clear.』

Mephisto could clearly see that the legacy Otto Han left behind as the North Wind was by no means a mere show.

He left behind everything he had.

For descendants in the distant future.

And now.

The arrangement that had lasted for a thousand years was about to fully blossom here.

* * *

It doesn’t even reach her feet.

Those words made Viscount Curansiville’s expression harden.

It wasn’t because Elric simply ignored the fate of the successor. Rather, the problem was that the family seemed to know too much about ‘summer’, which few people knew about.

she.

He knew that the original owner of ‘Summer’ was a woman.

A secret that Viscount Curanciville was only able to discover after searching through numerous documents after becoming the head of the family.

“What does a half-assed guy who hasn’t even learned home appliance magic properly know…!”

“You need three to have ‘summer.’ A river flowing with fire, a sandy snowfield and a dragon. But among them.”

Bahatram, borrowing Elric’s eyes, looked Viscount Curansibil up and down and then sneered even louder.

“It looks like you have nothing. Do you claim to be her successor just because you obtained and memorized the book of flames she left behind? Or did you inherit it by blood? “More than a thousand years have passed, so if that’s the case, I wonder if some of it is still mixed into ‘this’ body?”

“Shut up!”

“I guess I hit the nail on the head.”

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?”

Whihwihwi!

Viscount Curanciville thought that if he continued to talk any longer, he would be in big trouble, so he pushed the magic power into the crystal ball to its maximum.

The more it happened, the more loudly the crystal ball spoke of light, strengthening the power of the ‘Fire Trouble Zone’.

Kwakwakwakwa!

“Avoid blood!”

“Get back!”

Since Viscount Curansiville had no time to worry about the people around him, he had no choice but to look for his own safety.

“【Demon Beast Awakened in Fire】.”

The fluttering fire demons came together and became a new form of beast.

The magical beast, whose exact shape was difficult to determine whether it was a tiger, a lion, or an elephant, rushed at Elric without delay.

Every time I opened my mouth, I felt such a fierce heat that I thought it was a scorcher drawn from hell.

“It kind of tickles. “Her ‘scorching summer sun’ made me sweat and burn my skin to the point where it was really annoying.”

First of all, Viscount Curansiville’s heat could not even reach Elric.

A blizzard was blowing incessantly, chilling the heat and even forming frost on the ground.

Every time Elric walked on that ice, there was a sound of ice breaking. Tsk tsk. Tsk tsk. The ice powder that rose up caught on the edge of the spear and fluttered like a flag.

It exploded as it wound violently towards the spear pole.

bang! bang! bang!

Three explosions occurred in succession, as if a cannon had exploded. Every time that happened, the beast’s head exploded, its shoulders flew off, and half of its body was broken.

It acted as if it was going to eat Elric at any moment, but was crushed in just three attempts.

An unrealistic sight that Viscount Curanciville could not believe.

‘What is this…!’

This was the strongest attack magic among the magic he extracted from the ‘Summer Book of Spells’ he found in the family library a long time ago.

Although it was shaped like an animal and actually had spirituality, it was highly intelligent and very useful.

It disappeared without even using much force!

Damn it!

Phew-

Then, Viscount Curansiville hurriedly came to his senses when Elric ran towards him, stepping on the ice to subdue him.

“【Burning army】 【Casting shower of fire】 【Dancer in fire】!”

The magical number that was memorized has steadily decreased.

According to the summoning magic, other magical beasts made of fire came out one after another and blocked Elric’s path.

Fireballs rained down from the sky, and the flames running over the ground created a large whirlpool, blocking Elric’s escape route and reducing his range of movement.

It was a method to confine Elric in a prison made of fire magic.

but.

The swirling snowstorm extinguished all the flames.

The ice spear broke the heads of the flying summoned beasts, forcing them to cancel their summons.

The ice thorns rising from the ice actually destroyed the fireball.

“【Blow】.”

On the contrary, with the cold snow blowing, Viscount Couransiville had to do the same thing he had planned to do.

As a cold wind blew into the place where the fire was extinguished, the protective magic was completely broken.

A wall of ice rose up, forcibly blocking the escape route, and countless ice arrows rained down from the sky, draining their souls.

“Oh no!”

Even though I tried to clear away the ice and blizzard by using a crystal ball to spit out flames, I couldn’t even move because a new wall of ice took over again.

especially.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl-

Whenever the merciless chains protrude through the ice, my heart feels chilled.

They tie his ankles and try to wrap his arms around him. The chain, which did not break easily even if I tried to break it, was forcibly planted with ice poison wherever it touched.

Just like when you are bound by rusty chains and your hands and feet are twisted by tetanus.

The ice poison given by the chains of cruelty caused necrosis of the muscles and even frozen the magic organs, greatly reducing the efficiency of magic circulation.

A spear of

ice fell diagonally downward from the sky. I used up the remaining Memorise magic to try to block it, but the ice spear pierced it all in an instant. Broken debris was scattered everywhere.

Once again, the sight was majestic and powerful, like a flag fluttering on a flagpole. Viscount Couransiville had no choice but to be overwhelmed there.

– Make sure that the enemies standing under your flag cannot breathe.

What Nahatram had said when he handed the flag to Elric had come true.

Whoa!

“Oops!”

Viscount Curanciville had his right chest pierced by an ice spear and vomited blood. I tried to somehow squeeze the frozen magical engine to activate the crystal ball.

Damn it!

Crumbling!

The crystal ball broke into pieces and soon turned into powder and scattered. Due to excessive use of magical power, the magic tool’s lifespan came to an end.

“Oh, no…!”

Viscount Curanciville’s complexion turned pale as what he thought was his last bastion disappeared. And soon, as the poison permeated through my blood vessels and into every nook and cranny, not only my complexion but my entire upper body turned blue. The frozen blue veins were clearly visible.

Elric put his face close to the guy’s eyes and exhaled coldly.

“If she were your descendant and she showed you such a disgraceful behavior, do you know what you would say?”

“What are you saying…!”

“You idiot.”

“…!”

“She’s just that kind of person. He boasts that he is the best in the world. But the unfair thing is that it is true. Even if you are arrogant, proud, and arrogant, you can’t help it. “Because he deserves it.”

Elric’s fangs flashed between his lips.

“I’m not the type of person who can talk about things like your scum without permission.”

Tremble…

Viscount Curansiville’s body trembled.

Is it simply due to the cold caused by the ice poison, or is it due to fear caused by being overwhelmed by Elric’s spirit?

“…Who are you!”

“me? Elric Mervinger.”

“Oh no! You can’t be Elric Mervinger…!”

Viscount Couransiville could be sure. The person in front of me was a warrior. He is also a warrior who has fought countless battles. He was also a person who knew very well the hidden secret history of his family. I wondered if the ghost of the past had descended upon Elric.

But Elric firmly cut that guy’s guess. It is true that he is borrowing Nahatram’s thoughts, but in the end, he was the subject of the action.

He was just astonished at the idea of people talking about Mervinger without even knowing what a Mervinger was.

Elric spread his left hand wide as if he did not want to continue talking. As the frost settled, my palms glowed brightly.

Small number. He planned to use the magic he had developed to inflict final punishment on Viscount Curansiville.

“Damn it! What on earth do twerk soldiers do? “Let’s not hunt down this traitor and take him out right away!”

Viscount Curanciville was shaking and trying to survive somehow. Every time I spoke, steam rose. Even though the ice poison had already covered all of his magic organs and even his internal organs and six parts had become necrotic, there was no way he could survive even if he escaped, he was desperate.

But no matter how much he looked around, no one was willing to come forward and help him.

Not only the self-made soldiers, but also the officers who made lip service to their loyalty. Everyone was avoiding Viscount Curansiville’s gaze as if they had made a promise.

Even those who seemed to have some intention seemed to have been forcibly isolated or suppressed.

“I guess you still don’t know.”

Before hitting down a few. Elric sneered at the Viscount, who still did not realize the reality.

“…what?”

“There’s already no one here on your side.”

Viscount Curanciville’s eyes widened.

“’Only for those who return this time, the excommunication issued to the author of Twerk will be lifted.’ “Everyone said that because I made that promise.”

“…!”

Order of excommunication.

This is the order that the twerking author received in the past when he kicked down Mervinger’s door.

It said, ‘You are all sinners, you will never come under Mervinger’s umbrella again, and one day you will receive the punishment you deserve.’

However, at the time, Viscount Curansiville ignored it as the last remaining pride of Mervinger, who had already fallen, and had forgotten about it for a while.

It seems that Elric never forgot it, kept it in his heart, and then brought it out.

That’s probably what stimulated Twerk’s soldiers.

Elric, who has come into the spotlight again as the hero of Lasent, may have fallen, but Mervinger is trying to build a new one.

The charm it had was bound to be enormous.

Moreover, a little bit of nostalgia for Mervinger, who was the original stream, remained in Viscount Twerk’s soldiers, knowingly or unknowingly.

This was precisely what Viscount Couransiville was concerned about.

He knew well that even if the soldiers pretended to follow him on the outside, their hearts were with the young, heroic, and traditional Mervinger.

So I tried to prevent it somehow.

It was also his skill to somehow induce conflict with the Star Wars.

but.

Apparently, that wasn’t easy to achieve.

but. It would be easy to lead public opinion just by approaching a few ambitious people and throwing them a carrot.

Other soldiers may also have been swayed by public opinion favorable to Mervinger. Even if he pretended to be full of dissatisfaction on the outside, in the end, his inner feelings were ‘admiration’ and ‘envy’.

like that.

Elric must have secretly reached out to all the viscounts and counts.

Still, those inner feelings have not been revealed to the outside.

Because Viscount Couransiville and Count Calliger had not yet committed any serious wrongdoing.

However, now that the justification has been taken away and the game is tilted towards Elric, the trend has completely shifted to Mervinger.

There was only one path they could take.

Standing behind Mervinger.

There was no need to refuse the order of excommunication.

Rather, it would be much more advantageous for them to integrate into the existing star group and gain new opportunities than to remain in the old-fashioned family of vassals or counts.

Even those who were truly angry at Mervinger without any admiration for him would have had no choice but to naturally move on since this was the trend.

When Viscount Curanciville fell at the hands of Elric. The self-authorship was finally finished.

All the foundations of the self-twerking artist called ‘Changkal’ were transferred to Mervinger.

at last.

‘We’re all being played.’

Just as Count Calliger’s letter is currently in Elric’s hands. In the end, they were all playing in the palm of Elric’s hand.

I thought I was just staying in a room and practicing. It seemed like he was stroking them all like chess pieces.

‘Great heart…!’

Viscount Curanciville could no longer continue his thoughts. As the spinal cord froze, blood flow to the brain was cut off. I lost my mind.

“I command you in the name of Elric Mervinger, the Duke of Mervinger’s family.”

Viscount Curanciville looked at Elric with trembling eyes. In the end, will the wealth and fame that we so longed for fade away without even being dreamed of? The Viscount sensed death.

But he didn’t know.

Elric has no intention of letting him go, a traitor to his family.

“According to the excommunication decree that was previously issued to you, I will take back everything that was given to you by my family in the past and I will punish you accordingly.”

A pure white handful was placed on the top of Viscount Couransiville’s head. Viscount Curansiville, who was about to collapse for a moment, suddenly came to his senses. I felt anxious about something that I couldn’t express in words.

no! I wanted to scream like that, but

“【Come back】.”

One word from Elric.

thud!

thud!

Gurgling –

All the magic, skills and achievements that Viscount Curanciville had achieved over the decades were awakened from the ice and began to flow back. All of the river flowed up the top of his head and was absorbed into Elric’s palm.

The term “recovery” was not something that was just said. It meant that Viscount Twerk would here reap all the benefits he had gained thanks to Mervinger. Viscount Kuranciville’s studies and even his soul.

The shadow of the North Wind was threatening to devour Viscount Curansiville’s soul.

[Even in death, become Mervinger’s servant and pay for your sins forever, Kurancivil.]

‘Oh no, no!’

With that thought in mind.

Tuk!

The body of Viscount Curansiville, who had lost his soul, fell helplessly on the floor.
