Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 236

Episode 236: While

the Lord of Winds’ subordinates

hurried to summon the ghost.

Tsutsutsutsu –

The white vapor surrounding Augustine suddenly filled the sky.

And the color began to gradually become darker.

As if a pure white curtain had been drawn over this world.

The strange phenomenon of covering an area measuring tens or hundreds of meters in white struck fear in those who were watching.

“Ugh!”

“What is that…!”

“That’s a monster!”

There was quite a bit of commotion among the soldiers.

As they were elites of the Red Lion Army who had fought numerous battles, they did not know about the miracles that magic could create.

Even though I tried to stay calm while actually seeing that incredible sight, I couldn’t do it at all.

White is often associated with purity or divinity and is often associated with a ‘clean’ image.

On the contrary, if it went beyond simply white and was dark enough to feel transparent, it was likely to cause disgust and fear in people.

That was it.

The sight that seemed to be suddenly covered by ‘white night’ continued to fill the hearts of the soldiers with a feeling of fear.

Thinking that this should not happen, Tedan urgently tried to stop this by summoning the wizard troops.

“【Pillar of Fire】!”

“【Scorching Lightning Sword】!”

“【Trouble Zone of the Ghosts】…!”

Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

!

Those magics didn’t even get far from the castle before they completely dissipated in midair.

As if I had never been there.

“I knew it…!”

The face of the commander of the wizard unit was dark and young.

“Why doesn’t the magic work?”

The unit commander let out a deep sigh in response to Tedan’s urgent question.

“For us, we can never go against ‘that.’”

“Then, bring the members of the unit in charge of the barrier…!”

“no. Even if we add them, or even if we bring all the wizards within the Red Lion Army, we won’t be able to stop ‘that’.”

The unit commander pointed at the white curtain and lamented in an unfair tone.

“What do you mean…!”

“Have you ever heard of a being called ‘White Night’, Bastard Sword?”

A completely strange question.

But Tedan realized that it was an answer to his own words and shook his head.

“I don’t know much. The only thing my lord said was to be careful about the author…”

“The author is actually a taboo for us.”

“taboo…?”

“yes. “It’s taboo to mention him or think of him.”

“…?”

“If it weren’t for the huge umbrella called the Neresta family, we would have gone to war with the Magic Tower a long time ago. “From the time he was born to the path he walked, everything about him was stained with the outsider and the outsider.”

“…!”

“In fact, if I had known that the author would appear here… I would not have volunteered to come here.”

“….”

Tedan had to swallow dry saliva.

A wizard stained with injustice and corruption. He had no idea what that meant.

But one thing was certain.

Augustine’s reputation and intimidation are beyond his imagination.

‘Should I consider him to have the same status as the Golden Lion…?’

Even among knights and martial artists, the Golden Lion is like a wall that can never be overcome.

‘no. different.’

But Tedan shook his head.

To be sure, Tedan had never once in his life ever heard of the name of Augustine Neresta, the ‘White Night’.

On the other hand, in the case of the Golden Lion that I thought about a moment ago, there was no one in the empire, let alone a martial artist, who did not know about him.

A being that has lived for over a hundred years with such a beautiful appearance that it is difficult to guess its age.

The only one in the empire to be given the title ‘Grand Duke’.

Isn’t he such a great being that he can be evaluated as being able to bring down the empire alone?

There was only one author who could compare to his stature, the ‘Star Mage’ Usdun Mervinger.

On the other hand, Augustine was only vaguely known to those in the upper echelons of the wizarding world, and nothing was known about his fame.

This meant that his name and actions were thoroughly and intentionally covered up.

I don’t know if it was the Magic Tower’s resourcefulness or the Inspection Bureau’s actions.

It was clear that he was holding numerous secrets that should never be revealed to the public.

The expression that Augustine’s name is a taboo word may be in this context.

“I can’t tell you any more than that. Just meeting the author face-to-face like this will be of great help to the author.”

A deep furrow appeared between Tedan’s eyebrows.

As someone who always ran upward, he couldn’t understand the meaning of the fear shown by his unit commander.

I wondered if he was talking nonsense because he felt like he couldn’t stop Augustine.

“….”

“….”

‘…Everyone is avoiding my eyes.’

The other members of the magic unit were also busy turning their heads in a hurry.

It was as if he was afraid that if we made eye contact he would ask about Augustine.

Rattling…!

Tedan did not miss the slight trembling of the commander’s fingertips.

“So you’re saying we should just leave ‘that’ like that? “I don’t know what kind of magic that is, but I do know that it is common sense that the caster must be interrupted or killed before the Great Magic formula is completed.”

“that…!”

That was when the unit commander was about to say something.

“iced coffee! Argh! Let go! Let go! “How on earth are you supposed to deal with something like that?”

Eventually, terrified soldiers began to appear one by one. I threw the spear I was holding in my hand and tried to escape the spot somehow.

Squeak!

Fuuuu –

A nearby poisoner shouted as he cut off the head of a soldier who was running away.

“Everyone, don’t be confused! React calmly! “That is nothing more than a threat to scare us!”

Still, the soldiers’ agitation showed no signs of stopping.

Many people’s complexions became pale and their hands holding spears were visibly shaking.

Tedan is about to step in, thinking that if things continue like this, something really big will happen.

“It’s meant to be a threat?”

“…!”

“…!”

“…You can hear our voices this far away?”

The voice presumed to be Augustine’s clearly pierced the ears of all the soldiers and officers.

It was definitely not a technique like Sajahu or Jeoneum. However, it had a quiet yet deep resonance, so it felt like I was whispering directly into their ears.

Could it be that the abnormal white night has already covered the castle and that an invisible ghost is muttering? Even though it was so far away, Augustine’s body was clearly visible to their eyes, despite his obviously small size.

It seemed like he was the only one in this world.

“Isn’t that a bit of a sad expression for this old man to say he only looks like that?”

Augustine continued talking while holding his back.

Now, the soldiers’ faces were so white that it seemed as if their souls were escaping when they were hit.

Most of them opened their lips wide but could not scream.

It wasn’t just that I was speechless.

If you make a fuss here. I felt like if I screamed, that non-human being would recognize me.

Wouldn’t the unknown being beyond the white night swallow him up first?

None of them ever thought they would escape the white night.

still.

If it was noticed a little later, there might be hope for survival…!

“So from now on, I’ll show you something special.”

But that’s just their wishful thinking.

Augustine was not one to let his enemies dream of such hasty hopes.

Once you meet an enemy, you have to trample on its roots to be relieved.

“Who is this old man? Hehehehehe…!

That moment.

Flash!

Dozens and hundreds of lines were drawn horizontally across the white night, widening widely from top to bottom. Countless eyes beyond moved around, looking for the soldiers on top of the castle.

‘They’ opened their eyes.

* * *

It’s been a while since I saw that sight. Kikikick!

When Augustine experienced a strange phenomenon, the first thing to react was Hull’s resignation.

Even though I ate up 80%, I still have that much left, right? Cough. After all, that isn’t a person.

“80%?”

Elric widened his eyes as he looked at his own shadow.

Now he too saw the white curtain that almost covered the castle and several ‘eyes’ beyond it.

Even Elric, who holds a lot of knowledge in his head and learned magic from Otto Han and Winter Chapter 6, is seeing this phenomenon for the first time.

All I could do was guess whether it had something to do with Augustine’s one arm, the dark elf, but Hul’s thoughts seemed to know that very well.

But in a way, it was a natural thing.

I heard that it was Hyul’s resignation that brought Augustine to the brink of death.

Kikikick! I guess that old man didn’t tell you?

Elric made no reply.

However, Hyul’s thoughts seemed to be okay and he talked about whatever he wanted.

If you don’t understand even after looking at that, change your eyes first.

Kikikick. Hyul’s thoughts were like that and he added a laugh.

That one.

They are the same type as me.

Elric nodded.

Didn’t Augustine clearly say this as well? It is said that the school called Nokya is different from the general school. There are many taboos in the world, but even those are accepted if necessary.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time Master has shown me something like that.’

Elric thought he could actually see Augustine’s power and tried not to miss his every move.

Augustine was not alone.

Although it was hard to see because it was obscured by the white night, the elders were also preparing to deploy magic one by one.

Whihwihwi…!

I could see a powerful magical wind blowing around them. The magic fields were tangled and a strong scent of magic wafted out.

In fact, the Star Wars were already far removed from the Senate.

This was to prepare for the possibility of being swept away by the magical wind and being blown away.

“her…! There are no monsters. “What on earth is Neresta that harbored such things?”

Hermann laughed and looked back at Sean. As he pursued the golden lion and became stronger, he came close to completing the six chains that other martial artists could not even dream of, but the Senate was going beyond his common sense.

But Sean was the same, scratching his cheek with his index finger as if he had nothing to say.

Even though he was a direct descendant, he actually didn’t know much about his family. The Senate was only one aspect of the family’s many secrets, so it seemed impossible to guess the end.

Perhaps the only person within the family who fully knows everything about the family is Gai, the father?

At the same time, it was almost surprising that Elric had become such a common warrior.

‘Thank you, Master.’

Elric lowered his head slightly as he looked at Augustine.

Why did the Senate, including Augustine, suddenly come to the forefront like that?

It was all because of Elric’s request.

His request was to capture the Bastard Sword and the Red Castle ‘completely’ alive.

The purpose was to use them as hostages to negotiate with the Red Lion.

The reason I didn’t deploy magic right away and created a white night to scare them was all just to break their morale.

Fortunately, we succeeded in causing some degree of agitation from the enemy.

The magic bombardment was about to begin.

“It begins.”

No sooner had Sean finished speaking.

Numerous magic circles were created in front of the countless eyes created across the white night.

And just as it was about to be activated all at once.

Paaaat!

Suddenly, without warning, a flash of light flew toward Augustine’s neck.
