Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 230

Episode 230:

Azazel

, roar, roar –

Kwakwakwakwa!

Following the darkness that covered the world, another darkness spread like wildfire and was torn apart.

A sight as if the cloth was burning with fire.

Kyaaa!

As the ominous wailing sound spread, it seemed to herald the end of darkness.

The blue sky was just about to reveal itself again.

but.

“…Here we go again.”

Mephisto growled as if he was bored to death as he watched the scene.

And as soon as those words are over.

Faaaaa –

the black wind came again from somewhere and formed a vortex, taking the shape of a huge jackdaw.

A jackdaw with wings so large that they cover the sky.

“It’s getting really annoying now.”

Mephisto growled as he looked at that guy. The horned wolf figure following him was making the same boiling sound.

I had no idea how long it had been since I’d collided with that damn thing.

I knew that there was no point in trying to guess the period since time here flows completely differently than in the real world.

Still, there has to be a certain limit to it so that you don’t think about it at all. If you repeat playback endlessly like this, the story is different.

“what? “Is it already over? I’m so disappointed.”

Hehehe….

The jackdaw opened its beak with its eyes shining red. A lot of gloomy voices came out.

It was a voice steeped in madness.

“Wasn’t it you who said you were going to force me out of here?”

Mephisto had to frown again at the sound of Azazel’s laughter.

In fact, the fight between him and Azazel was almost as old as the Middle Ages.

Even though their personalities were completely opposite, it was true that in the end, they were both great demon kings favored by demon gods.

Since there was not much difference in their natural strength from the time they were born, their matches were often ups and downs.

However, there was currently a very big problem between the two.

While Mephisto is parasitic on Elric, Azazel virtually dominates Elric’s unconscious world.

The difference between the two was very big.

It meant that this entire world was like a demonic realm to Azazel.

Here he was able to repeat resurrection and rebirth infinitely.

So, unlike Mephisto, who is said to be a century old in terms of ability but has a slow recovery when injured, Azazel is already different in that he can form a new body at any time.

That was the reason why, as time passed, Mephisto continued to be pushed back and Azazel gradually gained the upper hand.

The same goes for Nahatram Chepeshu Damir, who is trying to pressure Azazel while protecting Mephisto.

“It really is endless. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before, even outside.”

“If you’ve torn this much, you have to use up your mental power, right? “Why isn’t there something like that?”

“If it were outside, I would at least try to forcibly purify it by feeding it divine power. hmm…!”

If things continue like this, we have no choice but to lose.

It was a common thought in their heads.

Azazel laughed out loud while looking at them.

“Didn’t I tell you? You can’t hold this body. So obey me and eat me. “Stop your useless struggles!”

Shhh!

Once again, crow’s feathers fell like a shower.

The three retainers also chanted the incantation again in accordance with it.

‘Should I even take this out?’

Mephisto twitched his fingertips.

As if trying to grab something right now.

That doesn’t mean that he didn’t have any cards he was hiding like Azazel.

However, that wasn’t what I wanted to bring up here in the first place.

Even further into the future.

I was planning to take it out after I regained all my strength, but if it were to be seen here, it would no longer be useful as a secret weapon by then.

‘Should I wait a little longer…?’

At the same time, Mephisto glanced back.

Where his eyes landed.

In the distance, Elric was still meditating.

* * *

Clap!

Obviously, there is nothing around that is broken like this.

There was a sound like that around Elric.

There was a slight furrow between my eyebrows. Cold sweat also ran down my cheeks.

“It’s cut off. again.”

However, Mia, who was next to him, just bluntly repeated the words to try again.

When Elric regained consciousness, he tried to sink it into a deep place.

Connection with the world of images.

This task was by no means easy.

“Concentrate on all your senses except sight. Did you say it was a monkfish? “Keep spreading it out.”

Mia continued to ask Elric to draw a mental scene in his head.

Concretize everything you capture with your senses and make it identical to the outside world.

They say that only then can the connection with the world of images be completely achieved.

After trying a few times, I was able to achieve some success.

I heard the sound of the six winter chapters fighting and smelled the lingering scent of Mephisto’s magical energy. I could feel the tremors of the earth and the madness covering the sky.

Seething madness. It was a madness that seemed to devour everything.

Thanks to this, the imagined landscape Elric drew was not that beautiful, but it still had a somewhat believable shape.

and.

Crash.

I could hear that too.

It was the sound of an imagined landscape and a part of the unconscious world coming together.

It’s as if a small cogwheel and a large cogwheel are interlocked. Just achieving the first union was a huge achievement.

And gradually the scope of the imagined landscape expanded.

At first it was 100 meters, then 200 meters, then 400 meters… That’s

when the problem arose.

As the range expanded, the image landscape gradually became lighter, and soon the connection with the unconscious world was also lost.

“It’s because the surrounding scene has become so confusing right now. Calmly and as slowly as possible. “With the idea of taking back what is yours.”

As Mia ordered, Elric took a deep breath and tried to somehow regain his composure.

‘With the thought of taking back what was mine…’

Elric sharpened his senses again.

After several training sessions over the past time, the sharpened Agwigam has again expanded widely to the periphery.

In the past, it was all about capturing the surrounding terrain and signs, but Agwigam was now tying all of his senses together to create a new world in his head.

We have reached the realm of the sixth sense.

A world you can see even when you close your eyes.

Or rather, because of that, even things that were not easily visible to the naked eye were visible in detail.

One step.

Another step.

As I expanded the scope little by little, I felt as if my entire consciousness was being sucked into it.

click!

There was the sound of gears meshing together.

“good. What you are holding now is the territory you have set. Feel it a little more concretely. As if it were right in front of you.”

This was the section where I always failed.

Territory control.

That’s what Mia called it. This means moving the designated area in the direction you want.

He said that if he continues to clearly depict the landscape in his mind, it will be completely within his grasp.

At that time, all you have to do is turn the ‘axis’ that surrounds the unconscious world.

but.

For Elric, this part was especially strange.

Feel it?

More than this?

But Elric was sure.

‘no. ‘That’s not it.’

Mia seemed to have completely taken control of the unconscious world with the feeling of ‘drawing’, but Elric’s expression was so vague that it was difficult to understand.

He preferred things he could hold and touch with his own hands rather than relying on his imagination.

then.

Is there any way to ‘touch’ this world?

‘There must be a method that suits me…’

Elric’s thoughts deepened.

‘What is it?’

Elric thought about the differences between himself and Mia.

No, I thought about what differentiates me from others.

Others cannot see, but you can see, others cannot touch, but you can touch.

or.

What you can handle best.

‘texture.’

It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck Elric’s head.

‘Mind’s eye. There was that.’

Elric remembered a technique that had been vaguely connected to the Agwigam, but had never thought to open because his eyes were closed.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

The mind’s eye is the eye that sees through to the root. If so, wouldn’t it be possible to see through the fundamentals of the unconscious world?

If you could see with your mind’s eye the image landscape drawn through Agwigam.

You will be able to see something hidden within it.

In that case, there was no need to forcefully expand the area of Agwigam.

Fortunately.

Elric is now so skilled in manipulating the mind’s eye that he can’t be compared to anyone else.

I tried to take that feeling intact and open it in the image landscape drawn in my head.

It didn’t go well at first, but after repeating it a few times, I was able to do it easily.

Clunk –

And at that moment, there was the sound of gears engaging more deeply than before.

“what…?”

Before explaining, Mia suddenly opened her eyes wide at the new atmosphere that followed Elric.

The world that seemed to be rejecting Elric… was seen to revolve around Elric.

Gooooo –

Contact with the unconscious world has become closer.

“This suddenly?”

Mia could not help but be even more surprised because she knew full well that Elric had not yet been able to properly depict the landscape in his mind.

But her shock didn’t stop there. I could hear the sound

of

gears turning for the first time.

Even though this next step has not yet been explained, the laws of the world have begun to revolve around Elric!

“Imagine Burr’s Law as if it were in the palm of your hand. “Think of a virtual landscape in front of you, and manipulate it little by little in the direction you want, like stacking blocks…!”

Although she didn’t know what happened, Mia knew that now was the most important time, so she hastily added an explanation.

but.

‘no. ‘Like winding a skein of thread, not a block.’

Elric was already taking a completely different path from her spell.

The reason there was no progress so far was because they only tried to follow Mia’s words.

Since he owed most of the magic system he had learned to her in the first place, he seemed to have unconsciously assumed that all of her explanations were correct.

However, Elric’s current magic was unknown, and its operation method was different from existing home appliance magic.

‘Originally, the grains would have come together to form a magic field, but now you can touch it and pull it…’

Elric stretched out his hand. A strand of grain caught on my fingertips.

Normally, I could see it but not hold it, but now I could feel it.

This is the result of the sense of Agwigam becoming clearer.

This meant that Mia’s training method was not completely wrong.

Elric pulled the texture on his fingertips inward.

Then, like a skein of thread unraveling, the texture naturally came out and was rolled up in Elric’s hands.

The end reached all the way to the black sky controlled by Azazel.

‘What should I do with this?’

Elric was able to realize that the thread of determination gathered in his hand was the ‘law’ of the unconscious world that Mia had been talking about.

Since control was in one’s hands, it was up to one’s mind to handle it.

‘If only I could use it as a magic field.’

Elric opened his eyes with that thought.

“So close it… what if you open your eyes…?”

Mia’s eyes widened, wondering if Elric had failed again, but she soon realized that Elric had completely taken over part of the control and burst into laughter.

Elric was still thinking about how to deal with the thing he was holding in his hand, and stretched out his hand in the direction where Azazel was.

Now that I have the opportunity to hit him for the first time, shouldn’t I use it in something that will make him sick of it?

Then there was just the right thing to write about.

Three of the brain walls.

It was eponymous magic.
