Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 255

Episode 255:

Decisive Battle

Batu threw the corpse of the Demon King, who was no longer bleeding, on the floor.

And waited quietly.

I hope there will be some change.

but.

“…It has no effect.”

Batu looked down at his hands and frowned quietly.

The blood of the dragon and the blood of the devil. I thought that mixing the two would create some new ability, but I guess I was wrong.

There was no reaction at all, let alone change.

The other day, when Sagnad was teaching me about magic, the thought of listening to it at least a little bit crossed my mind.

At the time, as a great warrior, I thought there was no need for such a catch.

Rather, the higher you go, the higher you go. The more power I gained, the more thirsty I felt.

so that.

more.

More blood was needed.

thud!

thud!

My heart started beating violently again. My blood was flowing rapidly and my nerves were tense. My skin became as hard as stone and my throat felt thirsty.

‘Here we go again.’

Batu hated himself for being so bloodthirsty.

Because I felt like I couldn’t control myself.

At first I didn’t think it was a big deal, but as time went on, I felt like the cycle was getting shorter and shorter. Moreover, the level of thirst became worse.

If I continued like this, I might really lose my identity as ‘Batu’.

‘no. ‘Not yet.’

Batu’s eyes turned red.

‘Not yet.’

He had something to do.

Wasn’t he prepared for something like this when he first drank the dragon’s blood that the guardian dragon gave him?

-Even if you gain your power, do not use it often. The more you do this, the more you will no longer be yourself.

Because you are a human, not a dragon. Isn’t that what the guardian dragon wanted to say?

But in the meantime, Batu ignored those words.

Rather, he tried to raise the dragon’s power to its lowest level more often and more. The more he did this, the stronger his body became, and it gave him outstanding spiritual power that a criminal could never possess.

If others were candles, he was a torch.

A torch that can melt everything.

Although it had to go out quickly because the wick was short, he intended to keep it burning splendidly until the end, once it had started to burn.

Even if we die here right now, the people can stretch out and live comfortably without having to worry about the oppression of the empire anymore….

“Why are you letting all of this go to waste like this?”

At that moment, Batu’s thoughts were cut off midway.

Where the gaze turned.

Elric was standing there with an expression on his face that said it was a waste.

They treated the demon king’s corpse, which turned into smoke and dispersed, as a delicacy spilled on the floor.

At that moment, Batu could feel the blood thirst that had been burning his body subside as if cold water had been poured on him.

“long time no see?”

It’s him.

That guy who is destroying everything he built from the ground up.

“The insignificant kid back then has grown up so much.”

“From now on, I’m going to get beat up hard by that kid. Are you okay?”

“You’re telling a funny joke.”

Batu chuckled and stretched out his hand toward the sword that was stuck on the floor.

His smile soon turned sinister.

“Let’s see if you can keep talking nonsense like that even with your head stuck in the gate.”

“Ugh. Why do people say such harsh things so easily? That means you are being told that you are less civilized.”

As soon as those words were finished, the two men disappeared from their seats.

Kwakwakwak!

Kwark Kwark-

A violent explosion blew away the entire barracks.

A battle began to take place in the middle of the mountain people’s camp.

* * *

The news was immediately delivered to Prince Kromhel.

“This is a report from a scout that an explosion of unknown origin occurred in the barbarian camp!”

“It has begun.”

Prince Cromhell looked back at his subordinates who were waiting to be dispatched.

“Now it’s time to go home. let’s go.”

“Waaah!”

As the shouts rang out loudly.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Imperial Army headquarters began to move in earnest.

* * *

“…Don’t hurt Elric.”

Sean took a deep breath as he listened to the cheers that shook the main studio.

But the more I did it, the more my heart beat harder.

I couldn’t quite catch my breath.

It was all because of damn Elric… that bastard.

Normally, I would have worked as a teaching assistant at the academy, but by now I would have completed my doctorate and entered Magic Tower, taking the course to become a professor.

After meeting that damn guy, his smooth(?) life plan felt like everything was going wrong.

So Sean had to end this war in order to get his life back on track.

If possible, go in a direction where you and Elric can go back with a smile.

“Whoa!”

Take a deep breath and calm your mind as much as possible.

“Wonju.”

“Hehehehe. “I don’t know how many people are suffering because of that damn student.”

With Augustine’s grumbles, the Senate began to move.

* * *

“The Imperial Army has made a surprise attack!”

“where? where are you?”

“This is where Master Batu is!”

“Holy shit…! Cowardly imperial bastards. “Using tricks like this!”

The camp of the mountain people was in chaos.

Just as I was tense because I didn’t know when the final battle with the imperial army would take place, I was suddenly caught up in the battle.

While the SS was moving urgently to rescue Batu, confusion grew further as observation reports continued that the Imperial Army headquarters had begun to move.

The decisive battle has begun in a completely unexpected direction.

Kukukuk!

As soon as the battle with Batuu began, the first things Elric tried were three things.

“【Be absorbed】.”

First, absorb all of Lazuli’s magical energy that Batu spilled onto the floor.

Tsutsutsu –

You can’t just throw something so precious on the floor. The shadow moved quickly, absorbing the Demon King’s magical energy at random.

Perhaps because two demon lords were eaten at once, the dissolution rate of the magic stones also increased significantly, making it difficult to handle at first.

“【Sweep】.”

And the second was the summoning of the Guardian.

The guardians simultaneously expanded their bodies as the shadows expanded around them.

So, the only things that came into the field of view of the Royal Guard who sensed the sudden commotion and came to help Batu were the giant guardians who only obeyed their master’s orders.

Cha cha cha chang!

“Where on earth did these things come from…!”

“Master Batu! Batu niiiiim!”

Of course, the guardians were very strong.

Even those who pride themselves on being warriors are difficult to deal with.

Furthermore.

Whihwihwi!

Kwakwakwakwaang –

The ice storm was blowing incessantly, making it difficult to even approach the barrel where the ice arrows were hitting.

And the last thing Elric tried.

“【Dwell in】.”

It was possession.

“Hahaha. “Is it now my turn to step forward?”

King Yulho was very happy that he could finally step forward. Hundreds of years of absence. I wanted to experience for myself how much the outside world had changed.

however.

“Elic.”

Just as King Yulho was about to attempt possession, another voice rang in Elric’s head.

‘Chepeş?’

A summoned necromancer called the Blood Lord in Chapter 6 of Winter.

Why is he suddenly calling me?

“Use me.”

Elric’s eyes widened slightly at that request.

Maybe it’s Nahatram or Mia. This was the first time Chepesh or Damir had made such a request.

“hey? Hey hey! “Isn’t that a bit of a cut-off?”

“I am sorry, future king. But there is a good reason why I am like this.’

‘What is it?’

“The author appears to be using dragon blood. Right?」

‘Yes, but.’

“Then use me. There is no one in the world who can surpass me when it comes to dealing with blood. I will be able to show you the right path.」

Elric tried to say that there was no need to worry too much since he had been handling Dragon’s Blood well even without Chepeshu.

But suddenly a thought occurred to me.

Is there another method you don’t know about?

Shouldn’t we learn that too?

“You won’t regret it.”

Elric recalled Chepeshu, who had a skeleton giant that could never be defeated even by Azazel.

If Chapter 6 of Winter says so, then it must be so.

‘great.’

“Thank you.”

“Sheesh. “I thought I was going on a rampage for the first time in a while.”

I left the regretful King Yulho behind.

Elric placed Chepeshu’s soul in his body.

At this point, I was planning on absorbing new organs to my heart’s content.

Whihwihwi…!

A powerful wave of magic spread around Elric. However, what had always been a bright golden color was now a deep bright red.

Elric could feel a considerable amount of disparate knowledge quickly passing through his mind.

The black magic practiced by Chepeş was completely different from the type that can only be used by making a contract with a demon.

The essence of his magic is blood.

“Blood is the most fundamental component of the body, so it is very effective as a medium to transmit the caster’s thoughts to the outside.”

Elric saw Batuu, who had been pushed back with a large shock wave, running towards him again.

This is a strategy that has no choice but to be adopted because he is a type of enemy that can only win through close combat, not magic.

But that brief moment was enough to bring victory this way.

Elric held the ice dagger in his right hand and drew a long line on his wide open left palm.

Then blood sprayed into the air.

Paaaa –

The blood particles spread in all directions like fog and became fog.

At the same time, he lightly snapped his fingers.

Ta-ta-ta-tang!

Blood flow magic bullet. Bullets that clot and explode blood were fired continuously.

“joy! “What nonsense!”

Puff Puff Puff –

Batu snorted and swung his sword widely. Then, a powerful wind pressure arose and the magic bullet bounced upward without stopping.

However, Elric pulled out two long swords from the blood fog without showing any signs of nervousness.

Unlike the ice spear that Elric used so well, these are twin swords stained red with blood.

When he crossed it in an X shape, the blood mist dissipated and an aura appeared clearly on the blade.

Chaaaaang!

“…Tsk!”

Batu gritted his teeth as pain throbbed through his sword body. And my eyes widened as if I couldn’t believe it.

Are you pushing yourself, whose spiritual power has increased several times through dragon blood?

No, rather, in some ways, his strength far exceeded his own.

As if reading his inner thoughts, a cynicism appeared on Elric’s lips.

“You didn’t think you were the only one in the world who got dragon blood, right?”

“…!”

Batu’s face hardened. I could never have imagined that the guardian dragon would share his blood with an outsider like this!

But Batu’s thoughts did not last long.

The sensation created by the dragon’s blood was screaming.

It’s dangerous right behind you.

Whoa!

Batu did not ignore the warning of his senses and immediately twisted his body to deflect the attack.

Chaaaaang. But even after that, he couldn’t help but be surprised once again.

Because another Elric was right there.
