Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 399
Part 2 Episode 139 Autumn
It
was then that the Golden Lion stopped attacking.
“What are you trying to do?”
As the attack that had been hitting him a moment ago disappeared, his expression became full of doubt.
but.
Elric had no time to worry about such things.
No, it was correct to say that I couldn’t even think about that.
He was already immersed in the lingering feelings of autumn.
Elric stretched out his hand forward.
Then, the flames that had spread throughout the image world drew a whirlwind and were sucked into Elric’s grasp.
The fire and volcano caused by Elric, and even the entire burning jungle.
The world of his imagination, which was full of magical power, was suddenly immersed in darkness.
Complete nothingness.
But the changes did not stop there.
What he has harvested now is only the power of the four seasons.
There were still many things to put together.
The Magi of Mephisto and Hyul.
All the magic and swordsmanship I have learned so far.
And Gangcheism, Shinbeop, Bobeop, etc.
Everything Elric had learned became one thought and gathered into the window.
Hahaha!
Then the flames suddenly turned white and glowed with pure light.
‘Dangerous!’
The Golden Lion was able to realize that Elric was jumping over the ‘wall’.
You’ve already reached the extreme level, but you’re going to rise above it again?
It shouldn’t have been left like this.
Squeeze!
An enormous brain energy covered the entire body of the golden lion.
A sword strike that strikes downward with all its might.
Before he knew it, the sword he was holding was shining golden, just like his eyes.
Golden Lion
Secret Technique: Sword and Blade Sangdan (劍雷昇斷)
The world flashed with a roar that sounded like the roar of a wild beast, and the golden lion jumped towards Elric.
Right at that moment.
Hwaaaa-
Elric also vigorously swung the light in his hand as if he wasn’t going to be outdone.
Fuuuuuuu!
Rumbling –
The golden lion was pushed back.
A huge shock wave.
Get the card!
The Golden Lion plunged his sword into the ground with all his might and slowed down.
Even though the attack was done with all its might, it was pushed back so easily.
It was the moment when he looked up at Elric with a stiff face.
The world of images that was once dark was now undergoing other changes.
A beautifully sparkling celestial body filled with nebulae, including numerous constellations, planets and satellites.
It was as if the universe had been copied.
In particular, the dazzling emerald-colored aurora was spread widely in the sky.
It was a sight that filled me with a sense of awe just by looking at it.
The golden lion stared at it blankly without realizing it.
That moment.
Paaaa!
Elric slowly opened his eyes.
A new seal was being drawn on his shoulder.
Autumn seal depicting rice heads.
It was the moment that completed the long-awaited Four Seasons.
***
“…Have we completed the four seasons?”
The golden lion looked surprised, but then looked at Elric with a firm expression.
I never expected that he would complete the Four Seasons while dealing with me.
‘no. ‘Is it complete because you dealt with me?’
Then, the Golden Lion was able to realize that the order of prerequisites had changed.
Elric clearly had extraordinary talent.
However, no matter how outstanding your talent is, if you do not have someone to pursue it, there will be limits to your growth.
Then, a huge wall called the Golden Lion appeared in front of him.
Survived even after defying Mervinger.
An absolute loser who has lived for over a thousand years.
So, he was bound to be a good stimulant for Elric in many ways.
Elric did not lose sight of it and succeeded in completely taking the inspiration as his own and becoming something bigger.
Therefore, it could be said that the Golden Lion’s contribution was the greatest in completing the current Elric.
– Embrace.
This may be the ultimate state that Elric spoke of.
Even Mervinger, who tried to reject Mervinger, is embraced.
No, it is a state of acceptance.
‘…I’ve made a bigger enemy without even realizing it.’
Even the Golden Lion now had no choice but to acknowledge Elric.
That he is Mervinger himself.
A huge bond that keeps clinging to him and eating away at his fate no matter how much he tries to break it.
That kind of bondage was now threatening to devour even the golden lion.
But the Golden Lion could not tolerate that.
Because that was not the path he walked.
If you get swept away here and there, everything about you will disappear.
However, it was not possible to change the state of the play that had already been completed.
He was an excluder.
But now they are following Elric’s example and changing to acceptance?
I absolutely could not do that because it would be the same as denying my entire past life.
You can’t let everything you’ve built up go to waste overnight.
so.
‘Cut.’
The Golden Lion is the level that Elric is building layer upon layer.
The four seasons.
Mervinger.
I was thinking of eliminating them all at once.
There was no need to waste any more time.
All at once.
It seemed like I could only kill that damn Mervinger with a single cut.
What if it fails?
Now, even the last remaining part of his ‘will to exclude’ will be consumed by it.
“Sigh!”
The Golden Lion took a deep breath.
and.
Blink! Blink!
He swung his sword fiercely.
Crumbling –
As a storm of golden swords and lightning covers the entire universe.
Hwaaaah!
Elric also moved while emitting a bunch of colorful lights.
He has read all of the Golden Lion’s thoughts and thoughts.
Knowing full well that the Golden Lion put everything he had into that single blow, he thought,
‘Me too…!’
Elric also intended to risk everything.
The white light held in my hand turned into a spear.
Wedge –
The spear blade was shot in a straight line and collided with the sword blade.
That moment.
Hwaaaah!
The light created by Elric engulfed not only the Golden Lion but also Elric.
and.
The two conflicting minds were shared as one.
***
A fleeting moment, much shorter than one breath.
The last remaining afterimages passed by Elric’s eyes.
“Huh oh oh oh oh!”
Leon let out a rough breath and bowed his back.
Sweat was pouring down from his face like rain.
After realizing the Auror Chain and leaving the family.
Leon continued training alone at the foot of the mountain.
The place he used as a training ground was a place with a wide plain and a large old tree at the top of countless mountains.
The surrounding scenery showed how desperately Leon had been training.
The old tree was filled with countless sword marks.
The floor where all kinds of grass had grown luxuriantly had only a cloud of dust rising from it.
This was because Leon was here practicing sword fighting all the time except eating and sleeping.
He took a moment to catch his breath and started practicing again.
Crack, crack!
Chop clap!
The sight of him swinging his sword while walking was somewhat gruesome.
He seemed to want to overcome the limits of his talent at all costs.
but.
No matter how much I swung the sword, there were no satisfactory sword marks on the old tree.
There are only more traces like light small wounds.
“Whew… did I fail today again?”
Leon muttered, letting out the breath he had been holding.
A lot of time has passed since I realized the Auror Chain.
It seemed like he could become strong enough, but the reality was that he was still unable to cut down even the old tree in front of him.
No matter how much you can use the Auror Chain.
Because the fact that he is Dunjae has not changed.
So naturally, his first goal was to cut down the old tree with one blow.
“Let’s do it again tomorrow.”
The good news is that this situation is all too familiar.
There weren’t even family members who insulted him.
Although I was alone, in some ways the environment was better than before.
So Leon headed to the cabin he had built with his own hands.
next day.
He started training as usual.
I raised my mana to make the chain around my heart longer, and then trained the sword skills I had learned so far.
And it was repetition.
There was not a single day that I missed.
Whether it was snowing or raining, Leon only focused on training.
Even though my body is burning and my muscles are screaming as if they are torn.
He gritted his teeth and stood up.
I continued to work hard with only the hope that I could become stronger someday.
But more time had passed there.
When the color of the mountain changes several times as the seasons pass.
“….”
Leon looked at the old tree in front of him with a grave expression.
Several years have passed, but it still looks the same as before.
Despite all the efforts to cut it down, the old tree grew bigger and more magnificent, as if laughing at it.
A feeling of despair came over me.
For a moment, I remembered something I heard when I was young.
-If you sincerely try, your goal will come true one day.
Something someone said to me when I couldn’t use any proper magic.
At that time, I felt like a new hope was emerging.
Now it feels different again.
“Are the efforts I’ve made so far not sincere?”
or not.
Was I, like my relatives said, someone who couldn’t do anything?
Tuk.
Leon weakly dropped the sword he was holding.
In fact, I knew very well that I had no talent.
I just wanted to deny that fact.
Still, when I learned the Auror Chain, I knew that good things would happen in the future.
perhaps.
Because I felt like I could change everything with this power.
But as time passed, I understood.
Even so, I am the one who should not be able to do it.
The small doubts had suddenly turned into firm convictions.
“…Should I just come down and start farming?”
If you at least do farming instead of swordsmanship, which leaves nothing left, there will be no problem making a living.
“Or…”
Leon glanced at the sword on the floor.
Should we stop here?
The family that will wait for you anyway.
Hope for the future too.
there’s nothing.
There would be no problem because no one would be sad if they died here.
But soon he took his gaze off the sword.
Since I couldn’t get anything out of the swordsmanship I loved so much, I felt disgusted at even holding a sword to end my life.
‘First… let’s have a drink.’
At least you won’t be able to think about anything while you’re drunk.
And do you know anything else?
If I drink like crazy, I might never be able to open my eyes again.
Then again, it would be just fine.
Leon thought that and started to come down the mountain.
