Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 328
Part 2 Episode 68
Summer’s Legacy
“What is it?”
“My stomach…!”
“It explodes!”
“shit! Evade quickly!”
The wizards of the Magic Tower, who were watching the airship exploding on the ground, all lost their minds.
How can one maintain composure when a ship the size of a castle falls from the sky in pieces?
They all pour down, engulfed in enormous flames.
It was a sight as if a meteor shower had fallen.
But just one.
Guy just stood there and smiled happily, as if everything had gone well.
“Good! “I guess I can get it all sorted out now.”
Guy took a deep breath and used all his magic power to cast the spell.
Open.
Kukukuk!
At that moment, the summoned iron door opened even wider. A part of the monster
‘s
body that was writhing beyond was slowly revealed.
Multiple eyes clinging to each other, creating a bizarre yet terrifying appearance.
“That’s…!”
“The monster from outer space that I only heard about…”
“No, it’s a fragment of God…!”
The wizards who saw this could not help but gasp.
At one point, they too had heard about it while studying wizard history.
In the beginning, the God of Creation existed, but when he confronted the Demon God, his body was broken and scattered throughout the universe, and some of it flowed out of the universe and turned into strange monsters.
Unable to reach the hands of law and providence, they are forced to live in a peculiar form, struggling in pain and being life but not life.
That was it.
The problem is that what is now revealed is only a small part of it.
What would happen if its true nature were fully revealed… I couldn’t even imagine.
Degurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr mark –
eyes larger than the size of a dozen men combined rolled to one side.
What I could see was a crashing airship.
Then, when the airship reached a certain point.
Destroy it.
The monster roared towards the sky, twisted its numerous tentacles together like a twist and struck the airship.
Kwaaaaang!
In just one attack, the shattered fuselage was split exactly in half.
Puff Puff Puff –
Other tentacles rushed in afterward and shot down other fragments from the air.
So much broken debris poured down the canyon.
As each piece of debris fell, the ghost castle shattered, and soon the entire canyon and the entire castle fell into the darkness.
“…her.”
“I don’t know if I’m dreaming…”
The wizards were amazed at the incredible sight that could only be seen in mythology, but they were also able to sigh in relief at the fact that the battle was finally over.
However, even after showing off such great prowess, Guy still didn’t look good.
Because the people I was looking for were nowhere to be seen.
I could see Tasha landing slowly among the debris, but I couldn’t see the other two.
“…Where is Elric?”
* * *
“Tsk…!”
Elric stumbled, holding his forehead due to a moment of dizziness.
My head felt like it was going to explode in pain.
『It just hurts. I squeezed it so hard.』
Overheating of the magic stone and magic circuit.
It was so hot that I thought my body would burn at any moment.
The pain was worse than when dealing with the golden lion.
Elric tried to control his body somehow, but he couldn’t concentrate because his mind was dizzy.
Rather, it feels like my stomach is turning.
『Tsk! You’re making it a nuisance.』
Mephisto clicked his tongue at the sight and then stretched out his hand towards Elric.
『Stay still.』
What are you going to do?
Before Elric could question, the seal of original sin suddenly burst into light.
Wow –
the magic energy that started from the seal suddenly moved quickly through the body, quickly cooling down the overheated magic stones and magic circuits.
Thanks to this, Elric’s mind became clearer and he had no choice but to open his eyes wide.
『It’s a sign of a morbidity syndrome. If you stretch your body beyond its limits, that’s likely to happen. And since I had to deal with the heat of ‘summer’, my body was bound to be a mess.』
[How did you do it?]
『What?』
『A seal. You’re even using magic, right?』
[Hmph! What kind of magic is this? Cooling system is the most basic step in preventing overheating. Memorize it.]
Elric looked at Mephisto with strange eyes.
I say it’s not a big deal, but I knew very well how detailed control this work required.
It was an incredible feat to produce such an effect with only a handful of seal magic.
‘After all, the Great Demon King is the Great Demon King….’
I couldn’t help but wonder.
Did he read Elric’s eyes like that?
Mephisto’s nose turned slightly red, unusual for him, and he turned his head and cleared his throat.
『Hmm! Did you get something on your face?』
[For the first time, Mephi looks amazing.]
『What is so amazing? With only something like this…』
[What? Are you being uncharacteristically embarrassed?]
『Who is embarrassed? When the King was young! Even though I suffered like this, I always woke up with a sigh of relief after just one day’s sleep…!』
[Ah,
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
!
Elric seemed to have seen something unexpected and was about to make fun of Mephisto.
Pakak!
Suddenly, a sound as if something was breaking came from inside my body.
“uh…?”
『Hmm?』
Elric and Mephisto both looked at each other with ominous thoughts in mind.
I soon noticed that there was a crack in the magic stone near my heart.
Magical organ injured?
It was something that could never be easily overcome.
You could easily lose your magic.
The moment when Elric was examining the magic stone with a puzzled expression.
Paaaat!
Before that, a strong light began to emanate from Shina’s seal.
Hahaha!
Then, when the light completely disappeared.
The first thing Elric saw was a green hill under a clear sky.
Just looking at the lush green sprouts growing luxuriantly made me feel at ease both mentally and physically.
And that’s the end.
There was a small driftwood.
Standing right next to me was a young man who looked vaguely familiar.
“Arceus…?”
Elric looked at his face and tilted his head.
Because he looked much younger than I thought.
“You’re here. “I was waiting.”
Contrary to his first impression of him looking haggard for some reason, he certainly looked lively when he was young.
Plus, a smile that is as heartwarming as the warm spring season.
but.
“huh? “Why is your expression like that?”
Arceus tilted his head instead of welcoming Elric.
Because Elric was wary of him like a poisoned cat.
Then Arceus belatedly realized why Elric was acting like that and burst out laughing lightly.
“Pahaha! “Do you really think I will take the same test again as last time?”
“…Isn’t that right?”
Arceus’ arrangement.
It was really the worst. Much better than Otto Hahn’s ones.
So, I wondered if there was another plan this time.
Arceus shook his head calmly.
“Don’t worry. As I said back then, there is no more ‘spring’ test.”
“then…?”
“Why did you come?”
Nod!
“well. “Why did you come?”
Elric narrowed his brows at Arceus’ zen-like attitude, but then his thoughts came to him.
Destruction of the magic stone.
The luminescence of Shina’s seal.
‘The sound of the magic stone breaking was like the sound of a seed breaking…?’
There were so many things that were strange that it could hardly be called a case of jaundice.
So conclusion.
“…It’s evolution.”
“right.”
Arceus nodded.
“Youth (靑春). “It’s Shin-ah’s new name.”
“Youth…”
Elric somehow felt his heart tingle.
“Also, the reason I came here is for a kind of interim report.”
“…?”
“Do you see this?”
Arceus stroked the driftwood next to him with a warm hand.
Then the driftwood lightly waved its branch as if to say hello.
“When you finished the test, ‘Ig’, which was just a sprout, has grown to this extent.”
“Hey?”
“Yggdrasil. “It’s this child’s name.”
“…!”
Yggdrasil.
Another name is world tree.
It was the name of a tree in the legend that was said to cover the world.
‘But it’s clear that the last branch was broken off…?’
Arceus looked at Elric with a happy expression and asked.
“Do you remember the seed you swallowed before? “That is it.”
“ah.”
Elric nodded. What is the identity of the seed he swallowed in the dragon’s nest?
“Then you are also telling me to raise Shin-Ah’s seal…?”
“okay. Shina’s seal is connected to Ig here. All your emotions, thoughts, thoughts… all of them become good nutrients for this child. And its roots and branches gradually spread from within you to the outside, making you stronger and stronger.”
“Then the magic stone was broken.”
“It’s not broken. It’s just a process of assimilating with Ig. “Magic power will also be a good nutrient.”
Elric nodded.
Heart, energy, body. It meant that the world tree connects the three elements of magic, namely imagery, magic power, and the body, into one.
‘It takes root in the mind, grows stems and branches according to the magic power, and blooms in the body…’
It was clear that if the mind, energy, and body could be connected as one, even more rapid growth could be achieved.
Enlightenment or thoughts will be immediately implemented into reality.
“What do you think? “This child you raised?”
Elric’s gaze turned to Ig.
Although Yig had no eyes, Elric had the feeling that he was looking at him with a strange gaze.
It’s a nomadic feeling.
Of course, as the name youth suggests, it must be a warm and cute feeling.
I look at it with that thought in mind.
Startle.
‘uh…?’
Elric trembled with anxiety that he didn’t know he was feeling.
“This guy too…”
Then, he slowly looked back at Arceus while breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Mervinger… right?”
I don’t know why.
For some reason, it seemed like he was raising one corner of his mouth, hiding some kind of plot.
