Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 226

Episode 226 :

Azazel

“Everyone step back!”

At Elric’s urgent shout, the soldiers around him reflexively fell backwards without even realizing it.

‘It is my mistake.’

Elric gritted his teeth.

I should have had the slightest suspicion that Azazel didn’t react until the last moment when the apostle died and was sealed…!

However, he swallowed the jewel without any hesitation.

Just with the complacent thought of absorbing Azazel’s magical energy.

Demonic energy slowly bloomed from the magic organ.

The body began to be consumed by black demonic energy.

As if submerged in turbid water.

Kwakwakwakwa!

like that.

With Azazel trying to steal his body.

Elric’s desperate struggle to avoid being taken away has begun.

* * *

Brian and Ate, who came to Elric to see if they could help him, had to open their eyes wide.

This was because a completely unexpected energy was swirling around Elric.

Whihwihwi…!

“That thing…!”

“Magi!”

Brian screamed, and Ate gritted her teeth and quickly brought her hand to her sword that was hanging on her waist.

Now they also knew that Elric could absorb demonic energy.

but.

The Magi currently surrounding Elric was different from that.

It was vicious.

And it was rough.

It was as if he was trying to kill Elric right away.

It seemed like they were sizing him up, waiting for an opportunity to bite.

Elric also suppressed his demon energy with a face stained with pain.

Unlike the Magi that Elric had been handling so far, it seemed to be obedient and then gradually disappeared.

Right now, that magic energy was burning fiercely like a fiery horse, acting as if it would devour Elric at any moment.

Kukukuku…!

The more violently the demonic energy swayed, the more enormous the waves of magic energy extending in all directions.

It felt like the entire mountainside was shaking.

Both Brian and Ate knew what it felt like to be ‘suffocated’.

and.

It was as if something invisible was whispering in their ears.

Surrender!

Worship!

Cut out your hearts and offer them to me!

It seemed as if they were tempting you by saying that if you do that, this stuffiness will disappear and you will be free.

Ate knew very well what this abominable demon energy was.

“Azazel!”

The former Great Demon King, who is now remembered by very few people on the continent other than the Demon Race.

Mad Azazel opened his eyes.

“When I first saw you, I couldn’t help but believe my eyes. Mervinger, whom I wanted to kill so badly… I never thought he would be active even in this era.”

Azazel’s voice was sticky.

There was even a hint of laughter in his voice, as if he was now ready to share a conversation that he had never been able to properly share with others.

However, the magic contained within was so strong that Elric could not respond properly and had to replace it with gritting his teeth.

The situation was so precarious that I felt like my mind might be eroded the moment a loophole appeared in my concentration just to give one answer.

Ji-ing-ji-ing!

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubling-

Each time the dragon’s blood rotated violently, forcibly infusing strength into the body and the magic gemstone squeezed out its magical power and forcibly pushed away the demon’s magical hand.

but.

Azazel found Elric’s resistance so amusing that he thought he was going to die.

This probably means that even this is nothing more than a game to him.

“I thought the Mervingers I knew would eventually be beaten to death by humans who were always blinded by jealousy since they were a group of people who lived for their own pride. But I guess I took it too easy. Mervinger. “It was really poisonous.”

I don’t like Magi.

At that time, Elric’s shadow fluttered upward and Hyul’s thoughts took shape.

Crrr –

The shadow beast expressed deep anger at Azazel.

I guess he’s the master of the idiots I’ve been dealing with so far. Maggi was quite edible. What does the body taste like?

Wow!

The shadow beast rushed towards Elric with its mouth wide open.

but.

Paaang!

As soon as it hit the demonic barrier that separated into hundreds of tentacles and wrapped around Elric, he was thrown away for a long time.

Magi didn’t even target Hyul’s thoughts.

It’s as if you are not even an opponent.

He complained that it was annoying.

dare!

There was no way that Hyul’s thoughts could not have known Azazel’s intentions.

While there were four Great Demon Lords in the West Continent who made the world tremble with fear, there was Hul in the East Continent who made the world sink into grief.

Even though he was in ruins now, his pride did not disappear.

Hyul’s thoughts expanded his body to the size of his stomach and attempted to bite off Azazel’s magical energy.

Kwakwakwak!

Kurrrr-

When the situation became like this, Brian and Ate also moved urgently.

He realized that this was not the time to be quiet like this.

“【Spreading splendid light】!”

“Taaaat!”

Brian deployed white magic to purify demonic energy in the form of a wide-range technique, and Ate tried to cut off the tentacles of demonic energy by somehow drawing out the family’s technology made of fire and lightning.

While the star groups are also moving urgently.

Tsutsutsu –

Azazel’s magic was stroking Elric’s chin like a hand.

“no!”

Elric forced his voice out with his eyes red and bloodshot, but he could not reach his subordinates.

If things continue like this, you too are in danger.

Run as far away as possible. He wanted to say that, but it seemed like they couldn’t hear him.

“anyway. While I was thinking about what to do with the last Mervinger like this cockroach, a thought suddenly occurred to me. “How about having this?”

Azazel didn’t even care about external interference.

Who cares no matter how many ants squirm under your feet?

To Azazel, Brian, Ate, and others were no better than ants.

Ants that you can step on and kill whenever you’re bored.

“There have been a few things that my followers have brought to me, calling them ‘vessels.’ To my eyes, it looked nothing but trash with flaws. But you were different.”

“….”

“I liked it very much. very! It made me wonder how a dish could be made so carefully for me…!”

“…!”

“actually. In a way, it was something that could be said to be natural. Mervinger. “You guys are originally a people that are no different from us.”

Exciting!

Exciting!

To what Azazel said. For some reason, Elric’s heart began to beat like crazy.

There was a concern I once had about the origin of Mervinger, who stole the seal of the demon race.

“I am now wearing a human mask. Hehehe! “How can you, who have the same origins as us, be described as ‘humans’?”

“…!”

“So it seemed like it would be easy to switch. But… well what to do with this? “There’s already a passenger where I’m going?”

Azazel’s voice, which was full of laughter, slowly began to mix with madness. With a sneer in his face, Azazel’s magic waved his hand gently as if he was happy to see someone next to Elric.

「Isn’t that right, Mephistopheles?」

『….』

Mephisto has not opened his mouth even once since Azazel revealed his consciousness.

All he could do was stare at Azazel’s magic with cold, sunken eyes.

“How does it feel to be like a dog foolishly caught on a leash by a Mervinger and wagging its tail?”

The reason why Azazel did not appear during the entire process of Leda dying, Belot running away, and the high priest being sealed.

There was definitely a part of him that was just waiting for Elric to have a more perfect body for himself.

It was much more because he had noticed the existence of Mephisto, who tried to target Elric before but was defeated.

It was because I thought that if I rushed in too hastily, I would inevitably end up in the same situation.

So I looked for an opportunity and now I have seized it.

Azazel and Mephisto.

The two demon kings were often grouped together and explained under the category of ‘Great Demon King’ or ‘Subject of the Demon God’.

In fact, the two of them did not get along very well.

There was a political position that he should covet more of the Demon God’s favor, but it was because the ideals he pursued and his personality did not fit well.

Mephisto was always stubborn.

He always hated mixing with others, and often ridiculed other demon kings who had numerous subordinates at their head, saying that they were obsessed with playing soldiers.

Among them, he openly ignored Azazel, who loved ranking games and was prone to being emotional, saying that he couldn’t find any dignity even if he looked with his eyes closed.

On the other hand, Azazel hated Mephisto, calling him stupid and weak.

The Demon God was also close to watching the two Demon Lords confront and antagonize each other.

so that.

As soon as Azazel opened his eyes for the first time in a thousand years, he laughed at Mephisto’s stupid behavior.

What excuse will he make about this?

I was curious about what excuses he would make when he was shown such an ugly face by the person he hated and hated the most.

however.

『…Stay away.』

「What?」

『Stay away. There.』

「Fuhahaha! what? Fall? Could it be that the Mephistopheles of the world, the Great Demon King of Original Sin, care about humans? “And Mervinger?”

『That was what the king originally wanted to have. But then you guys put your hands on it?』

Azazel’s sneer grew even louder. If it were actually in front of me, I probably wouldn’t have twitched at least one side of my lip.

“What if you can’t take it off?”

“Then.”

At that moment, Mephisto uncrossed his arms.

A ghost light flashed above both eyes.

『I have to make it that way.』

At one point, Elric’s magic gem rang loudly, and some of the magic power moved beyond Elric’s control.

It collided directly with Azazel’s magic energy, which was slowly trying to take control of the magic engine, and began to push it away violently.

Kwakwakwakwa…!

As Elric lost control of his body, some of Mephisto’s control returned.

As Azazel’s magic energy and Mephisto’s magic energy collided on the stage of Elric’s body, the waves of magic power spreading out in all directions became stronger.

At that moment, Brian, Ate, and others had no choice but to move further away from Elric.

No, we had to move almost completely away from the mountainside where Grigori’s headquarters fortress was originally located.

Far away.

A huge jet black pillar was seen rising from the mountainside to the sky.

It stretched so far through the clouds that it was impossible to tell how far it reached.

‘You damn demon lords!’

Elric was extremely annoyed by the two Great Demon Lords fighting over his body.

“try. “If you can.”

『Sure.』

With Mephisto’s words.

Paaaat!

The world surrounding Elric was suddenly covered by a pitch black curtain.

And when I opened my eyes again.

Elric could sense that he was in a completely different place than where he had been before.

A city where numerous castles and buildings have collapsed. It was a ruin that looked like the end of the world had come.

‘Is it an image world?’

Elric realized that he had entered the world of unconsciousness, and suddenly his head jerked upward at the sight of a huge wave of magic power echoing from the sky.

In the high sky filled with pitch-black smoke.

The two men were glaring at each other.

Both of them had black hair and black eyes, but while one had a cold expression, the other was laughing heartily for no reason.

Mephisto and Azazel.

They were two great demon kings.
