Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 265

Part 2 Episode 5

Spring

Arrangements A place that became a mess and then chaos.

No, it was a scene of a massacre worse than that.

The ‘real’ Elric was hiding alone using stealth magic a long way away.

Elric was watching the fake Elrics killing each other with a blank expression on his face.

‘What on earth should I say about something like this… and now I have to do something like this…?’

In fact, the ‘real’ Elric had been using the stealth technique ever since the arrangement was opened, and had been using the stealth technique to retreat.

And my prediction came true.

It was a battle royale caused by not other people but themselves Elrics.

‘How many people are there?’

Elric felt that there were fake Elrics around him who had similar thoughts as him.

There were about four or five people who had disappeared using stealth magic and were watching.

‘The problem is that even I here don’t know if it’s real. ‘Maybe he’s just acting like a slut.’

Even the real Elric wasn’t sure if he was real.

Listening to the fakes speak, it seemed as if all their thoughts, thoughts, and memories appeared intact.

‘What on earth is this test trying to test?…’

The reason for this massacre.

Will surviving the fierce battle be the end of the test?

Is the purpose of this arrangement to gain combat experience using fake Elrics?

‘no. That’s not right.’

There was no way the test was just to survive.

‘They say you have to die and come back to life…’

The reason why so many fake Elrics show up for this test.

And the reason why the fight to kill each other began.

Elric thought for a moment and muttered softly.

“Or else… this could all be me.”

One and only test.

No matter what happened, the arrangement was to be completed.

And what should I do to successfully complete the arrangement?

Elric asked himself a question and continued thinking.

death.

And birth.

The two seem like opposites, but they are connected.

When winter turns to spring, ice melts and streams flow.

The stream flows into the rice fields and causes crops to sprout.

Frogs and snakes wake up from hibernation.

Leaves grow from dry tree branches.

The recording starts to fade.

The white color gradually turns green.

Using everything that was dead as nourishment…

a new life is born.

If so, there is only one method that comes to mind.

“Shit.”

Elric clenched his teeth without realizing it.

Elric looked at the clearing where ‘other’ Elrics were gathered.

Meanwhile, the Elrics were still fighting.

And when I saw the greenery and trees blooming to nourish the Elrics at the scene of the massacre, I felt confident.

Death means the birth of new life.

Here, new elrics are awakened based on the dead elrics.

That’s the purpose of this test.

Elric summoned an ice sword.

And I held the handle of the sword tightly.

‘If it’s not this, I’m going to be in big trouble…’

If my interpretation was wrong, I could have been in big trouble.

However, Elric strengthened the hand holding the ice knife without any hesitation.

After that.

Puuk-

“Gagging.”

Elric’s sword pierced his own neck.

The immense pain soared with the power to burn my nervous system.

At that moment, the magical energy inside my body boiled over and I tried to stop it.

But that only aroused Elric’s pain further.

Deep. Deep. Deep.

‘Fuck… it hurts so bad.’

Elric repeatedly hits his own neck in order to die quickly.

Rather than being afraid of death, I was more annoyed by the pain.

So my consciousness gradually faded.

Finally, before I close my eyes. Another sound was heard.

Phew –

Phew. Deep. Deep.

They were sounds similar to those made by a real Elric.

The hidden Elrics all came to the same conclusion.

* * *

“Huh!”

Elric took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

Elric grasps the situation with a bewildered expression.

“what? “Are we not finished yet?”

The same place as before I died.

Although the terrain changed slightly due to the fight between the remaining Elrics, it was clear that it was Mureungdowon.

Elric couldn’t figure out what was going on, but he forced himself to come to his senses and remained alert to his surroundings.

It was then.

Sigh-

“Ugh.”

Suddenly, numerous memories flooded my mind.

Elric dies mysteriously.

Elric commits suicide.

Elric died after fighting desperately.

….

The memories and thoughts of all the more than twenty Elrics instantly settled in the corner of my head.

Elric, who had finally figured out the situation, muttered blankly.

“As expected… it was all me.”

As Elric expected, all Elrics were real and not fake.

Arceus approached Elric, who was mentally exhausted from experiencing so many deaths in a short period of time, and spoke.

“That’s amazing. I thought it would take a few months for the achievement to be an achievement. “I never thought it would end so quickly.”

As he appeared clapping his hands, his expression was filled with admiration.

In fact, when Arceus put Elric into the arrangement, he thought he would wander around for a while before returning.

However, it wasn’t because he thought Elric was stupid.

Rather, it was a judgment made because Elric’s achievements were far superior.

The more brilliant a person is, the stronger his ego is.

And the more people like that, the more unable they were to let go of themselves.

In fact, he was the most brilliant after the founder.

Because he was the smartest tactician among the four worlds.

But what about Elric?

After pondering over and over again in a short period of time, I made a quick decision and cold-bloodedly killed myself.

‘Perhaps… As the head of the family, I have the ability to make cool-headed judgments. No, it may be the most necessary ability for someone who must open a new era.’

Arceus stopped thinking while thinking about what the new progenitor, the ‘Child of Prophecy’, would do one day.

Because it wasn’t something I would say to Elric now.

“Anyway, since I passed the test… I guess I’ll have to teach you basic magic first.”

“Damn, do you really have to show off that you’re a Mervinger like this?”

Elric, who was in a mental state, looked resentfully at Arceus, who was about to enter training.

Arceus responded with a chuckle, as if he was happy to see Elric like that.

“Do you think it’s different? You too are a Mervinger, Elric. “As time goes by, you will become like this too.”

Elric shouted, startled by a sound that did not sound like Arceus’ words.

“Why are you saying such bullshit so sincerely, Mr. Seonjo? I will never be that big.”

“Okay, okay. We’ll see. “Take this first.”

Arceus smiled and offered his hand to Elric, as if to leave it at that.

But there was nothing in the open hand.

“yes? what…?”

When Elric, who had a puzzled expression on his face, expressed his doubts, a bright cluster of light immediately dazzled his eyes.

The childhood jewel dragon riding on Arceus’ shoulder was engulfed in a halo of light and its appearance was changing.

The Jewel Dragon, which was getting smaller, soon took the form of a small seed and came up into Arceus’ hand.

“This…?”

hard seeds.

Elric, who received it, looked at Arceus from a distance.

“You just have to swallow it.”

Elric furrowed his brow without realizing it.

‘Swallow…? ‘If I eat it, won’t I be in big trouble again?’

Elric glared at him with suspicion.

Arceus gestured with his hand as if to eat it quickly, as if he wasn’t getting stabbed.

“The test is over, so you can eat with confidence.”

“Haa…”

Elric thought countless times over whether to eat or not for a short period of time.

‘What should I do? If I have to eat, I have to eat.’

I soon gave up and swallowed the seed.

…?

After swallowing the seed, I didn’t feel anything for a while.

After a while.

Paaaa –

My whole body felt refreshed, as if I was in the forest.

Then, energy rushed to the back of my left hand.

Then, it glowed and became a pattern, engraved on Elric.

A single leaf growing on a slightly protruding branch.

It was a new emblem engraved on the back of Elric’s hand.

At the same time, Elric felt all his fatigue disappear and his vitality increase.

“It is the seal of a new sprout. “It has the effect of dispelling fatigue and continuously revitalizing the body.”

“Wow… this is huge?”

It wasn’t just something I said.

My body feels refreshed, as if I woke up from a deep sleep.

It was a tremendous effect in maintaining optimal condition.

Even though they say that it only has a vitality replenishment effect right now.

As my skill level increased, I felt like I would boast a stamina that would never tire.

‘A strong mind resides in a strong body.’

Of course, improving physical strength meant that judgment would also become more astute.

“And one thing to add is that although the exam is over, the arrangements are not yet completely finished.”

Elric, who had been in a great mood after receiving the seal at Arceus’ words, looked crumpled.

“What are you going to do again?”

Arceus, who saw Elric on guard, smiled and answered.

“I think there’s some misunderstanding, but it doesn’t mean you have to keep seeing me.”

Arceus continued his explanation to Elric while unfolding his magic power. A cluster of pure white light floated around his body.

“Take a good look.”

Arceus waved his hand in the air.

Then, Mureungdowon, which had been in ruins, began to return to its original appearance.

once.

The greenery becomes lush again and trees begin to grow.

“The only emblem that symbolizes ‘spring’ is Shina’s seal.”

twice.

The bodies of the dead Elrics rot and become fertilizer, fertilizing the land, and huge trees grow on top of them, soon forming a forest.

“Just as we grow sprouts into plants, Shin-Ah’s seal should also be nurtured in the same way.”

third time.

Finally, as the flowers bloom in abundance, the sweet scent of flowers wafts in.

“Only when a tree blooms, bears fruit, and grows into a very large tree can it become a complete ‘Seal of the Spring World.’”

The appearance of Mureungdowon made complete again with three hand gestures.

‘This… is crazy, isn’t it?’

To be honest, anyone can unleash magic with tremendous destructive power.

However, the magic that is this close to re-creation is…

super-recovery.

Complete restoration.

I thought I could say that.

Elric looked at Arceus with a dumbfounded expression.

“As Shina’s seal develops, her vitality becomes regenerative, and eventually she becomes capable of terrifying super-regeneration, growing back even if her arms are cut off.”

Elric could not believe that he had acquired such ridiculous and fraudulent abilities.

On the other hand, I thought about where I could use this ability.

‘Could this be applied to subordinates as well? At this level, even if he faces death…’

If his relatives who have died can be revived with Shina’s seal, Elric will literally have an immortal army.

Whatever it was, the thought of wanting to test the power of Shin-Ah’s seal suddenly occurred to me.

“You like it so much.”

“Then I gained these ridiculous powers, so I should like it.”

Arceus suddenly struck Elric, who was running the happiness circuit.

“A sprout that begins to grow in the unconscious world is bound to resemble its owner.”

“yes?”

“Literally. “Children are mirrors of their parents, so the sprout will have the same personality as you.”

Elric became increasingly anxious.

Arceus’ still warm smile.

And the eerieness contained within it.

“Why are you anxious? You didn’t say earlier that you were different from us.”

“Isn’t that obvious? “My bud will be a very kind and obedient child.”

“Yeah, if you are, that’s probably it.”

“But… how was Arceus’ sprout?”

“It was so fucking true. “He was very sensitive, so if I paid less attention to him, it wouldn’t be surprising if he died at any time.”

“You’re going to die?”

“okay.”

“…What happens when you die?”

“What happens? It just ends.”

When Elric saw Arceus shrugging his shoulders, anger welled up within him.

“…shit.”

also.

There was absolutely nothing easy about the arrangements left behind by our ancestors.
