Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 345

Part 2 Episode 85

Summer Grave A vacant

lot located quite far from the village.

It was a place where villagers offered sacrifices to monsters.

As such, there were huge footprints on the floor here and there along with traces of something being roughly swept away.

Blood traces were also scattered randomly and appeared to belong to those who had previously been sacrificed.

And in the center.

‘Damn it… Damn it! These fraudsters!’

Sean was sitting on his knees, tied tightly with rope.

He was left here alone to act as bait to draw out the monster.

‘Just let it end! ‘Both are real!’

He cursed inwardly with a face full of anger.

No matter how much he said he wanted to help the villagers, he never thought he would use them as bait!

Thinking back to the faces of Elric and Tasha laughing heartily as they made me look like this, I felt like a thousand dollars were flying inside me.

Even though he protested right before being sacrificed, saying it wasn’t fair.

-You are the weakest, right?

I couldn’t reply as Tasha was hitting my bones with a smile.

You’re like mean people who judge a person’s value based on their strength!

But I couldn’t stretch it out there.

In fact, if you had to choose a sacrifice among the three, you would have no choice but to be the one with the lowest fighting ability.

‘Did you know you would think…?’

You ungrateful Mervinger bastard!

Sean glared at the place where Elric and Tasha were hiding with burning eyes.

Anyway, once this is over, I promise myself that I will never stay still.

Of course, they are the ones who will hear that with their ears.

Meanwhile.

Elric was hiding in the grass, using magic to erase his presence and smell.

They didn’t want the monster to notice them.

“【Pain】 【Disappear】.”

Then, when the back of my head started to tingle, I turned my head to see something and ended up laughing.

Sean’s eyes were looking this way.

Who would have thought that even though they obviously couldn’t sense them, their emotions would be conveyed this much.

It seems that when you have great anger, you can achieve the impossible(?).

Elric smiled and asked Tasha who was next to him.

“Tasha, can you take a look over there?”

“What… Ah!”

As she turned her gaze to where Elric’s finger was pointing, Sean, gritting his teeth, came into view.

Normally, this would have been my younger brother with whom I wouldn’t have been able to even make eye contact.

He seemed quite angry.

Probably as an older sister. As an elder and a senior in life, I felt like I needed to at least convey a message of support.

[What you looking at? Do you want to die?]

“….”

[What? Are you not covering your eyes?]

Only then did Sean slowly turn his head to the side.

It was because I remembered the things that happened when my sister did that.

My younger brother, who was weak, had no choice but to grind his teeth again.

That wasn’t my sister.

We’re just blood-related family mates.

Elric looked sad when he saw that.

‘I’m sorry, my friend.’

Since Elric knew better than anyone else how it felt to be treated by his sister, I felt pity for him.

He turned away from Sean’s secretly glaring gaze and concentrated on erasing his traces again.

How much time has passed?

It was around the time when the orange sunset had completely set and dark night had arrived.

Chin chin!

The sound of heavy footsteps began to be heard from somewhere.

‘come.’

Elric instinctively sensed that a monster had arrived and lowered his body lower than before.

Chin, chin, chin –

As the guy got closer, Sean’s expression darkened.

It was because the energy emanating from him was unusual.

A life that is comparable to the monsters we faced in the black snowfield.

Gulp!

While Sean swallowed dry saliva.

Slowly

the monster appeared.

and.

‘Is that…?’

Elric, who was watching the whole situation, was greatly surprised.

Crrrrr!

A wolf the size of a house.

He was radiating magical energy.

It looked like a type of demon.

The black-purple fur covering its entire body seemed like it would burn like a flame, and the magical energy that spread out every time it exhaled was highly toxic.

But there was something else that bothered me the most.

‘Same.’

The seal of original sin and the words drawn on his forearm.

‘Now that I think about it, the properties of demonic energy are similar, right?’

For some reason, Mephisto came to mind.

Elric was reminded of the baby demon he had once picked from Prime Minister Norus.

[Mephi.]

『King Bon is also watching.』

[Is this why you said you wanted to see the monster last time?]

『Yes. You may have suspected it too, but actually, ever since you came to this village…!』

[I never thought you had a child.]

『…What?』

Mephisto’s face crumpled at Elric’s words.

[I thought Mephie was originally solo. I’m shocked.]

『What nonsense are you talking about!』

[Then who on earth is this child’s mother? He’s probably not the King of Snow Mountain, right? Does this person look similar?]

『This bastard!』

Mephisto got angry, the veins on his neck standing up. Looking at his expression, he seemed to dislike the joke from a little while ago.

[Okay, okay. Then what is he?]

Mephisto glared at Elric for a moment with a frown, but then he sighed and slowly opened his mouth.

『Maybe.』

Mephisto’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at the wolf.

『It seems to be part of the population of the main king or demon god.』

* * *

Mephisto was sealed for over a thousand years.

Before that, he left his mark all over the continent.

They create more superstitions and ignorance in the world and spread the devil.

This was because only then could his influence increase.

but.

There was someone who started this action before him.

-Demon God.

The pinnacle of all horses.

Or aid.

The demon that the demon god spread all over the place became a part of various folk tales and local legends over a long period of time and caused various strange phenomena.

『A representative example is the devil tree that I saw in the black snow field.』

A tree that is said to give birth to demons.

Norus, the prime minister of Antromorph, ate the fruit and was almost devoured by the demons.

『There were traces of the original king there too.』

[Really?]

Elric asked in surprise.

When I thought about it, even quite a few monsters could not easily approach the Demon Tree.

Because the demonic energy flowing out from there was extremely vicious.

‘But it was like Mephie’s alter ego?’

『In the end, the main king is also the demon’s alter ego and population. “That is why the true name ‘original sin’ was born.”

Mephisto continued his explanation.

『But I never thought there would be traces of it here too…』

Crrrrr!

The wolf was slowly approaching Sean.

At that moment, Elric felt an indescribable sense of discomfort.

[Wait. So what you are saying now is that there is a separate demon spread by the demon god, and there is also a separate demon spread by Mephi… How can that overlap?]

The types of demon spread by the demon god will be very diverse. If some of them are called Mephisto, it makes sense to say that Mephisto is the Great Demon King who originated from a demon god.

However, Mephisto’s words now seem to overlap with the magic spread by the demon god and the magic he spread.

‘Is it even possible to say that unless the two entities are ‘one’…?’

『Do you think your friend will end up in the belly of a wolf?』

[Damn it! I will catch that guy and talk about the details!]

Elric saw that the wolf had already arrived right in front of Sean and prepared to move urgently.

“flaw! “Well, that’s right.”

While Mephisto said something whose meaning was unknown.

Sniff!

Before he knew it, the wolf stuck his nose in and smelled Sean. To check if there are any traces of other beings.

‘Elix is a dog …. What the hell are you doing …. ”

Sean was shaking and blamed Elric and Tasha.

He might be able to fight, but it probably wouldn’t be enough to cause a big loss.

Ugh!

Then, when the wolf opens its maw and thrusts towards Sean’s head.

“now!”

Elric exchanged glances with Tasha and burst out of the grass with a burst of magic.

Cold and flames swirled from their bodies.

Cry?

The wolf looked surprised by the sudden surprise attack, as if it had not expected it at all.

Tasha did not miss the opportunity and summoned two phoenixes.

Piyo-!

The phoenix let out a sharp cry and quickly exploded into the wolf’s mouth.

Big!

It was in pain, scratching the area around its mouth with its front paws.

Meanwhile.

Another phoenix flew in and scraped the floor between Sean and the wolf with its wings.

Grumble!

Then the flames soared high, creating a huge wall of flames.

A firepower that seems to burn down the entire forest.

Crrr!

The wolf took a step back, frowning as the flames seemed to engulf him.

At the same time, the hairs stand up like needles.

Haha!

Pew Pew Pew –

With a harsh cry, needle hairs shot out like arrows.

Puff puff poop!

The power was so great that many holes were made in the flame barrier and the phoenixes fell with their wings damaged.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa –

Elric spread his wings of light wide and quickly crossed the ground.

Wings filled with Damir’s divine power.

This would be nothing short of a natural enemy to the wolf.

‘An opportunity to test Hargan’s divine law.’

Although the spring seal was not completed and I could not use it as well as I realized, it was still worth a try if I used possession.

Pabababak!

The walking techniques, which were a bit clumsy at first, quickly began to connect. Elric,

Hargan’s original

nameless weapon

, moved as fluidly as water and quickly dodged the wolf’s fur and quickly reached the wolf.

‘Oh, it’s more useful than I thought?’

While Elric was inwardly exclaiming with considerable admiration, Tasha quickly rescued Sean.

The wolf was startled and tried to back away, but Elric’s palm reached him before he could.

The seal of the winter world,

Ice Heat

Kwasik!

The wolf’s head was half broken.

Hehehe!

A roar filled with pain rang out. At the same time, the magic energy surrounding him rose up like flames and rushed at Elric.

Faaaaat –

Holy power soared from Elric’s fingertips.

Damir Original

Sword of Love

The sword made of light was cut horizontally, completely erasing the flame of demonic energy.

and.

“【Stick in】.”

Elric’s spear was pierced hard into the nape of the guy’s neck.

Fuuuuuuu!

Tsutsutsu –

The wolf’s body exploded, scattering magical energy in all directions.

“Wow, I feel refreshed inside.”

『…I bet you didn’t think this was the king and beat him up?』

“Oh, how can that be possible?”

Elric answered with a bright smile and spoke softly.

“If only you were quick to notice.”

『This guy is real!』

Elric ignored whether Mephisto would go on a rampage or not and spread his hands wide.

“【Be absorbed】.”

Quaaaaa!

A large amount of demonic energy was absorbed into his body, and the seal of original sin began to glow brightly.

That moment.

Exciting!

My heart started pounding loudly.
