Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 346

Part 2, Episode 86:

Summer’s Tomb

Considering that even the baby demon absorbed from Antromorph contained a significant amount of demon energy, enough to evolve the seal of ferocity into a seal of ferocity.

It was clear that the amount of magical energy possessed by an entity that could manipulate magical energy at will would be very vast.

just as expected.

Jooooooooo!

The amount of demon energy sucked into the seal was significant.

Even though it was devouring demon energy at an incredible rate, there was no end in sight.

The problem was that the seal of original sin was so large that even after swallowing a large amount of demonic energy whole, its depth was still unfathomable.

and.

Paaaa-

‘It has arrived.’

Elric was able to feel again the sensation he felt while absorbing the baby demon.

no. It was much more stimulating than then.

At that time, it felt like a ‘path’ connecting the soul and the seal of original sin had been opened, but this time it felt like a complete assimilation.

『This again…!』

…That’s it.

Mephisto’s thoughts resonated in Elric’s mind as well.

It feels as if Elric is Mephisto and Mephisto is Elric.

Then, when absorption was completed.

The vision that had been divided into two was merged into one.

…!

…!

Both Elric and Mephisto’s eyes widened in shock.

Unknown memories passed before their eyes like a panorama at incredible speed.

-Mephisto shouting something loudly while looking at the pitch-black sky.

There, the sky seemed to be smiling at him.

Crack!

Mephisto’s teeth were grinding and he was clenching his molars.

.

.

-Mephisto is facing a man wearing a robe.

Golden hair covering her face fluttered beneath a robe with the Mervinger family’s unique emblem drawn on it.

And there were familiar faces behind him.

Otto Han Arceus… they were vassals of the four worlds.

Sijo said:

“…we are one…swallow demon….”

Elric wanted to hear those words, but some parts of his voice were broken, so he could not hear them all.

However, Mephisto seemed very angry and attacked the progenitor fiercely. After that, other great demon kings followed suit.

.

.

-Mephisto fiercely thrusting his spear towards the head of the last remaining dragon king, Shainak.

.

.

.

Elric was able to feel fragments of Mephisto’s emotions and thoughts in each scene.

No, I didn’t think I could simply express it as ‘feeling’ it.

At that moment, Elric’s thoughts were Mephisto’s thoughts, and Mephisto’s thoughts were Elric’s thoughts.

A moment of complete unity that goes beyond fairy tales.

Elric was so overwhelmed and fascinated by the vast amount of knowledge that Mephisto possessed that he could not escape.

All you need is this.

It seemed like anything was possible if I had this.

Omniscience and omnipotence.

A feeling of being like a god.

Everything in the four worlds will be able to be completed.

And furthermore, we can reach the ‘Great Nature’ that our founder reached…!

But that joy is short-lived.

Faaah!

The memories unfolding before my eyes were swallowed up by the strong light.

When the light that filled his vision disappeared, Elric was able to return to reality with a strong light.

And the knowledge of Mephisto that filled his head also disappeared.

Like a mirage over the desert.

“…ah!”

The wolf had not been absorbed, and only the remnants of the divine power created by Elric were flying like flames.

“….”

Instant?

Or forever?

A thrilling experience of a moment that was short and long.

Elric had to stare blankly into space for a moment due to the lingering feeling it gave.

‘What the hell is that…!’

Recalling what happened a little while ago, he groped his body.

The moment he became one with Mephisto was so vivid that he wanted to check if it was his original body.

head face shoulders legs.

Only after touching all parts was Elric able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, one question comes to his mind.

What was the phenomenon just a moment ago?

I had a similar experience in Andromorph a while back, but it wasn’t the same as now.

Because this time it was more, never less.

Still, even though I had a similar experience once, I didn’t feel as nauseous as I did back then.

Just….

“Uweeeegg!”

I just feel dirty.

Elric collapsed in his seat and nauseated himself.

I felt like I wanted to wash my body thoroughly with clean water.

“Are you okay, Elric?”

Tasha hurriedly ran to see if Elric was injured.

“Are you okay… wow!”

Elric wanted to tell Tasha not to worry, but the words didn’t come out easily.

It felt like my stomach would turn if I even tried to speak.

Even his complexion was pale.

『This guy is taking the place of the king… Ugh!』

Mephisto seemed to be doing the same, sitting in a corner and nagging.

The two didn’t even have the energy to be angry at each other.

I just feel like I want to get rid of this unpleasant(?) lingering feeling as quickly as possible.

* * *

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“yes. are you okay. “I was using unfamiliar magic for a while… Ugh!”

Elric was able to ease Tasha and Sean’s worries after soothing them several times.

How can I put into words this dirty feeling I am experiencing right now?

This was something you would never know unless you experienced it yourself.

『Don’t make that face. 』 [Who on earth would say that

…!]

『So, who told you to absorb it right away without asking the main king!』

Mephisto probably knew that a situation like this would come. It seemed like he had guessed it.

[…Shit. It would have been fine if you had told me in advance.]

『You should have given the King a chance to speak!』

Elric had nothing to say.

In fact, before Mephisto could say anything, he was the one who absorbed the demonic energy by saying that it was good.

‘Ugh!’

Thinking about that time, I shuddered again.

I guess I shouldn’t think about anything.

But apart from that feeling, there were many things I was curious about.

Things you saw.

As the fairy tale unfolded, all of Mephisto’s thoughts were erased, but the afterimage he saw as a hallucination still vaguely remained in his memory.

[What on earth are those?]

『Noisy! Even though my head is complicated right now, it’s too complicated.』

But Mephisto still didn’t seem to have any intention of having a conversation.

The appearance of thinking deeply about something.

It didn’t seem like it was just because of the sensation.

Just when I thought I should ask later,

“Huh…?”

Elric’s gaze turned to the other side.

Tasha and Sean also looked in the same direction as if they felt something.

The place where the wolf died.

The barrier above where the body was originally seen was slightly distorted.

“Elric.”

“yes. “I think it’s dimensional distortion?”

Dimensional distortion phenomenon.

It was one of the camouflage traps that great wizards usually make to hide the subspace they created.

Elric opened his mind’s eye wide and looked at the place.

Then, the world I had seen turned around and a bluish portal appeared.

‘How long has it been there?’

Elric tilted his head.

This was because the amount of mana flowing from the hidden portal was so large that it was difficult to notice.

“Ah, he was acting as the gatekeeper.”

Then, belatedly, I was able to infer the truth.

The reason the man-eating wolf came to this village.

This is because I was drawn to the magic leaking from the portal.

It must have been an extremely nutritious dinner for him.

The reason Elric and the others couldn’t sense this energy was probably because he swallowed a lot during that time.

Then, after he died, the door appeared again.

Elric smiled bitterly.

In the end, the wolf, the victims, and the villagers were all guilty of struggling to survive.

‘For now… let’s go.’

Elric grabbed the portal with both hands and opened it sideways.

Hahaha!

With a strong ray of light, the hidden space opened wide.

The scenery that unfolded was spectacular.

The endlessly wide forest caught the moonlight with its entire body.

On the trees that grew densely, numerous jewels were ‘open’ like fruits.

Ruby diamond topaz etc. A forest with various gems scattered everywhere.

“Wow.”

“Really… was there?”

Tasha’s eyes sparkled and Sean’s voice trembled.

This was the forest of jewels that Elric and his party had been looking for.

* * *

The jewels sparkling everywhere were beautiful just to look at.

“Sister, I guess this is….”

“Yes. I think the quality is much better than what I saw from the outside. “The deeper you go, the more magical power it contains.”

“How is it possible for a place like this to exist? Did some eccentric wizard make it because he was bored?”

“well. “Wouldn’t it cost too much money to do that?”

“Are you a magician who has so much money that he’s rotting away and is also bored?”

“…What did you do as an assistant professor at the academy?”

“I’m doing this because I have no idea how the structure is structured. “It’s really crazy, by the way.”

All of them are of pure purity.

Even if I just took it off and sold it outside, it would be worth a lot of money.

Tasha and Sean took off the jewels that showed the jewels they wanted and put them in a subspace pocket.

Gems are also of great value as magic materials.

In particular, those with such clear purity had a high magical conductivity, so it was difficult to obtain them even if you paid a thousand gold.

So, we are trying to secure a lot of materials at this time.

and.

Kiyuyu!

Kiyuyuyu!

The baby dragons loved this place as much as they did, even more than they did.

The sight of him getting out of Elric’s arms and wandering through the forest looked happy.

‘I was very distracted.’

Elric burst out laughing.

As happy thoughts kept coming through my soul connected to those guys, I smiled without even realizing it.

Each of the baby dragons clung to the jewel tree they wanted.

Gold adhered to topaz, diamond red to ruby, and garnet black to sapphire.

Crunch crunch!

Then, the sight of him tearing off the jewel and gnawing it like a squirrel was beyond cute.

Wow! Wow!

‘Is it possible to gnaw that hard thing? ‘That’s amazing.’

Elric took a ruby and put it to his mouth, just in case.

“Hmm…”

It was too hard.
