Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 223

Episode 223:

Raising the Flag

“Oops. “What a pity!”

Sailor lightly clicked her tongue as she put down her bow.

I wondered if I could catch someone who seemed to be of a fairly high rank right away.

I never thought they would notice and intercept me along the way.

“But it doesn’t really change anything, does it?”

Herman, who was watching from the side, chuckled.

Sailor laughed along with him.

“That goes for him too.”

Pew pew pew pew!

It was right after that that the mountainside was covered with a barrage of arrows following Sailor.

The knights of the Byle family, Black Skull, and the Star Army, who had been waiting with their arrows hung on the strings, all followed Herman’s hand gesture and released the strings.

It was quite a sight to see thousands of arrows covering the mountainside.

But for the demons who were watching it, it was fear itself.

It almost seemed as if a huge shadow of death was falling.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Rumbling- rumbling,

rumbling!

The barrier protecting Grigori’s headquarters was activated.

It was created to protect the demons from external raids, but Elric had already guessed the existence of the barrier when he identified the location of the headquarters.

The arrows fired by the soldiers were by no means ordinary arrows.

Poetry of perm (破魔).

Just like the scrolls they used before, this time it was an arrow that Elric had specially engraved with runes.

An arrow that is particularly effective in eradicating and purifying demonic energy.

As a result, as soon as the arrow exploded on the barrier, it separated into dozens and scattered in all directions.

The pieces started a chain reaction again, demonstrating the efficacy of the perm.

The barrier was torn apart.

As the holes continued to open, the dozens of layers of barrier suddenly collapsed and were repeatedly restored.

Below that. Grigori’s headquarters, standing like a huge castle, appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

But that was enough.

It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to determine the exact location.

“I will go first.”

The first to move was Hermann.

He began to climb the mountainside with the Cheongyang Knights under his command.

“this! “Where is the first player to play?”

“ha ha ha! “Isn’t it usually the owner who eats things like this first?”

“This person! Let’s go together! AC!”

Sailor got a little annoyed when Hermann moved first, contrary to what he had promised, and chased after Hermann and others.

I was already getting older and running wasn’t good for my joints, so I thought it was too much.

However, like Hermann, Sailor’s mind was filled with thoughts of not wanting to let go of the Demon King.

Still, if you’re going to hunt demons at this point, shouldn’t you take the demon king’s head in your hands?

Wedge-

Pabababat!

“Even if you want me to stop!”

“I don’t like it!”

“If I try to eat alone, I’ll get an upset stomach!”

“You shouldn’t eat delicious food alone…!”

The two people were quickly exchanging jokes, and then suddenly, when a shadow passed quickly over their heads, they both raised their heads upward.

And his face distorted.

[I’ll go first.]

Elric was crossing the sky using flight magic.

“this…! “Where is the use of foul language?”

[Originally, delicious food tastes best when eaten alone.]

He responded to Herman’s protest(?) with the same words that Herman had said.

Elric was already falling onto Grigori’s gun platform.

“Make me stop!”

“Magic! “Hurry and cast your magic!”

“Drop that guy!”

Originally, it would have been difficult for even an Elric to break through alone.

It wasn’t now that there were a lot of holes.

As he attempted to fall vertically through the collapsed gap, he deployed his powers one after another.

“【Swing】.”

One theory. As the winter storm raged, the barrier, whose durability had already deteriorated rapidly, was instantly blown away.

The demons who rushed to the castle and tried to stop Elric were swept away by a harsh snowstorm and buried in a snowdrift.

An uncountable number of icicles were created in the sky and poured down to the floor.

Puff puff puff!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-

“Kwaaaaaaaaaa!”

“My arm! My faaaaal!”

“I can’t see! The front is…!”

As visibility was blocked and bitter cold arrived, shadows spun around among the panicked people and headed towards Elric all at once.

“【Appear】.”

north wind. Guardians rose from different shadows.

Those who lived as Otto Han’s loyalists in the past and are currently loyal to Elric quickly eliminated the demons.

Moreover, there were wild beasts among them whose ferocity did not disappear even if they were tightly chained.

These are all things I don’t like, but whatever.

It’s better than nothing.

Tsutsutsu –

Hul’s thought form arose among the guardians and began to run wild.

As a result, the ranks of the demons immediately became disorganized.

Kwaaaaang!

Elric landed among those guys.

As the ice sheet falls, ice fragments and powder are flying in all directions.

“…There you are.”

Elric opened his mind’s eye wide and quickly scanned the surroundings to see that his target was running away among the demons.

Anyone who appears to be the owner of Grigori, excluding the Demon King.

The high priest was clear.

Elric rushed towards him without delay.

Paaaat-

“Protect my priest!”

“Elic Mervinger! “You can’t take even one step from here!”

The demons immediately set up the human tent.

Before he knew it, Elric was holding an ice spear in his right hand and fiercely smoking Dragon Fear.

Elric’s spirit, fluttering ice and growling like an animal, had already completely overwhelmed the demons.

“Go away you little bastards!”

With Nahatram’s possession, ice spears rained down one after another, creating a gust of wind.

* * *

“Here we go!”

“Come here!”

“Huh huh huh!”

The high priest quickly walked down the spiral staircase following the guidance of the Royal Guard.

I wanted to hurry up, but my body just didn’t follow suit.

They say that as long as they are not killed, demons are not trapped in the cycle of lifespan, but unless they become demon lords, their physical functions are bound to decline significantly as they age.

In particular, the high priest led the Grigori for a long time and lived a life of devotion to Azazel, but did not take care of his own body, so his body was already in a state of ruin.

This means that it is absolutely not strange to take refuge in the arms of a demon god at any time.

To begin with, the high priest was not specialized in combat, unlike the ‘vessels’ he produced.

So, even though I always gave orders to the ‘vessels’.

In reality, all I could do was stay in the depths of the headquarters like this all the time.

Who would have thought that the location of the headquarters would be discovered…!

‘Mervinger…! ‘I can’t believe Mervinger is chasing me all the way down to my chin!’

The high priest felt like he was suffocating.

How dare this bastard crawl here!

This is a sacred place where the great Azazel closed his eyes and took refuge in the arms of the demon god.

It was absolutely impossible for someone like Mervinger to set foot in such a place.

but.

Crumbling!

Kurrrrr-

“Me Mervinger chased me all the way here!”

“Even if you tell me to stop it…!”

Before I knew it, Mervinger was getting close enough to even step on the high priest’s shadow.

As the extremely cold weather struck, the SS urgently stopped Elric.

Puff puff poop!

None of them could do anything, and all I could hear was the sound of them all falling down.

Before he knew it, the ice was catching up behind him.

“gate! “What about the gate?”

“yes! Preparing to activate…!”

“What are you doing? Hurry up! hurry!”

“Oh, I understand!”

In order for the teleport gate to work properly, it took a considerable amount of time to set the coordinates accurately.

The high priest, whose vision had already begun to darken, had no time to think about such things.

So I run to the room with the teleport gate.

Kwakwakwak!

“Aaaah!”

“How could it be in a place like this… Wow!”

As soon as the high priest arrived at the lobby of the fortress, one wall exploded and a huge beast appeared and growled.

Crrrrr!

There you are!

Hyul’s thoughts looked towards the high priest and he burst out laughing.

Beneath his feet, blood stains and brick fragments from demons that had already become blood clots were scattered around haphazardly.

The road leading to the teleport gate was completely blocked.

“I heard there’s a traitor who’s attached to Mae Mervinger…!”

The high priest had to shudder when he realized that the gigantic shadow beast was the demon king of the old East Continent who was faithful to Elric’s words.

“Here! “Come here, priest!”

The high priest hurriedly moved to another hallway while part of the royal guard separated again to block Hyul’s thoughts.

but.

Kukukuk!

“Kaaaaak!”

A guardian appeared at that corner, blocking the street.

“Go here!”

Every time the high priest moved somewhere, the guardians appeared as if they had been waiting. At times like that, some of the Royal Guards had no choice but to quickly step up and block the Guardians, and the high priest’s guard staff was also decreasing at a very rapid rate.

“How on earth can I handle things like this…! What about Belot? “Where did Belot go?”

The more it happened, the more anxious the high priest felt.

This was because I had a strong feeling that I was slowly being driven into a corner as I kept spinning around in Mervinger’s palm.

In order to somehow drive out Elric, Bellot was needed, but the problem was that Grigori’s current best power was not even visible.

“That thing…!”

“Why are you doing that? Is something wrong?”

“They said they couldn’t find Mr. Bellot’s whereabouts a while ago…!”

Tuk!

The high priest’s steps stopped.

His eyes were fluctuating violently.

It’s hard to believe.

“What? “Try again!”

Suha, who was reporting, was busy lowering her head and rolling her eyes.

“I have been looking for Mr. Bellot for a while now, but they say he is not there. “Your whereabouts… have become unknown.”

“does not make sense…!”

It was when the high priest was about to shoot back and ask what kind of nonsense he was saying.

A thought suddenly occurred to me and I was about to speak, but something came to mind and I had to stop midway.

‘Now that I think about it, the look in his eyes…?’

The high priest gave an order to Belot that he must kill Elric even if he had to die.

at that time. Belot responded that he would do so, but his eyes were silent.

What if something else occurred to me at that time?

‘That’s ridiculous! There’s no way the vessel would refuse my orders!’

As a high priest, he could never have thought that the ‘vessel’ that was tightly packed with brainwashing and suggestions would betray him.

Moreover, it was difficult to believe that Belot, who was the most clumsy and foolish among them all and had unrivaled loyalty, could betray him.

When things turned out like this, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it make sense for Belot to suddenly disappear at a time like this?

‘Or before that…? What if he was the one who provided the bait for Mervinger to discover the gun group?’

My thoughts continued to linger. As time went on, my anxiety continued to grow.

The fear that if things continued like this, the corps might truly be destroyed, crept up my spine.

“west…!”

So the high priest tried to shout to the royal guard to open another way, but he couldn’t.

The SS members around him were all impaled on long ice spears and were dangling at a much higher level than him.

Before I knew it, ice had spread on the floor and the ice pick had risen high.

The high priest’s eyes trembled violently.

Before I knew it, fear had turned into terror and had tightened my throat.

and.

“Do you think you’ve been abandoned?”

I tried to hastily turn my body in the opposite direction when I heard Elric’s voice ringing eerily from behind me.

“…Oof!”

Whoa!

Right behind your back.

Elric’s ice spear was suddenly piercing the high priest’s chest.

Right in front of you.

Elric with a cold smile was standing right in front of me.
