Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 68
Episode 68
: Barrier
『It’s clear. That guy is definitely not normal. How dare you say something like that in front of King Bon, who ruled over ten thousand demons…!』
Looking at Elric colliding with Kaya.
Mephisto frowned.
As a Mervinger, I am happy to be able to oust at least one more Ma.
From Elric’s perspective, those words may have been very natural, but it also meant that Mephisto, who was listening right next to him, had no consideration at all.
No matter how arrogant and self-indulgent Elric is, would he not know this?
Mephisto chuckled.
‘No way.’
Geniuses often have completely different sensibilities than ordinary people, so they often have little empathy.
However, Elric has a close friend named Sean by his side. Friendships externally are not bad either.
In other words, that meant that it was quite intentional.
Even though we have no choice but to be together now, it probably means that we will continue to maintain the line.
Mephisto believed that this was a very correct attitude for a Mervinger.
and.
‘It is the same with this king. ‘You little one.’
Mephisto’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at Elric’s back.
* * *
Kwaaaang!
After pushing Kaya away with all his might in the first collision.
Elric’s impression was simple.
“wow! Are you strong?”
Even though he had already been seriously injured by the Inspector General’s agents.
Kaya’s magic energy was quite strong.
Should we call it tyrannical?
It was so intense, as if it contained a hot fire.
Azazel’s true name is madness. As much as he worshiped that type of guy, the Magi’s temperament seemed to resemble that type of person.
‘There’s also poisonous odor in there, right? ‘It would be dangerous if I were to be careful about this.’
Elric quenched his appetite while looking at his left arm, which was tingling.
A moment ago, poison penetrated through my pores.
Because it was such a tiny amount, I might have passed it by if I hadn’t been very sensitive.
Fortunately, the poison effect didn’t seem to be that great, and since it was frozen thoroughly before being activated in the body, there were no problems.
If you hadn’t noticed, the poison would have continued to accumulate and ruin your body.
‘As expected, demons. There are various types of guys. It’s completely different from what I read in books.’
Is that why?
‘It’s fun… is it?’
Elric burst into laughter without realizing it.
It wasn’t just fun.
It was really fun.
‘Is this why our ancestors went out to kill demons like that?’
Although it is now only recorded in books, Mervinger had a long tradition.
When you reach a certain age, you go hunting demons with the elders of your family.
It was also a ceremony related to the coming of age ceremony.
It was not only the maintenance of the Tangma family, but it was also intended to cultivate a sense of practical combat in a safe way…
It was safe to say that Elric was experiencing that tradition firsthand.
‘I guess I can try a lot of things?’
Elric’s eyes sparkled with victory.
and.
“Smile? dare!”
Kaya was able to intuitively realize that Elric thought of her as a ‘test subject’.
I don’t know what that guy’s true identity is, but I felt like I had to tear off that guy’s face somehow to be relieved.
Hwaaa!
“We’ll see how long I can smile like that!”
The seal engraved on Kaya’s right shoulder gave off a brilliant light.
All pores were wide open, and black smoke with a terrible odor spread out.
Poison Fog.
It was a black magic he mainly used when trying to poison an enemy over a certain range.
Ki kick! It’s dangerous…?
“Sigh!”
As the Seal of Ferocity warned, Elric quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve to widen the gap.
However, the speed at which the poison fog spread was much faster than he expected, and he was instantly trapped in it.
Whihwihwi!
“die!”
The moment Kaya sneered while spreading her wings wide, the poisonous fog suddenly formed a vortex and rose high into the sky.
“【Freeze】 【Turn】!”
The black smoke obscured my vision and I couldn’t move because of the vortex.
Elric did not panic and calmly dispersed a large amount of cold air.
Ta-da-da-dan!
Kagaga River –
Then, some of the poison rapidly froze and ice crystals bloomed.
They violently resisted the vortex, rotating in opposite directions according to Elric’s will.
Sparks flew as poison and decision collided in the air. Pieces of ice covered in poison flew everywhere.
The vortex was torn apart without doing much damage to Elric.
“【Spread】.”
It exploded according to Elric’s careful manipulation.
The directionless poison spread in all directions, hitting the ground and clawing at the air carelessly.
and.
“【Turn over】.”
They all took different turns along the way.
The target was Kaya.
“What is this!”
Kaya was embarrassed.
The magic created to catch that guy is actually attacking the caster!
This is a result of the fact that he cannot know that Elric directly touched the grain through his mind’s eye and forcibly changed the direction of the grain with the enormous magic power of the magic stone.
No, even if you knew, you would have no choice but to be embarrassed.
No one would have thought that the magic field could be controlled so directly and precisely at such a critical moment!
It was a feat that Mervinger, who is said to have truly received the ‘blessing of mana,’ could perform.
“【Tie it up】.”
“Sigh!”
Kaya quickly tried to pull back, but couldn’t.
Because Elric had already noticed and activated another spell.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Several chains came out from the ice at once and instantly wrapped around Kaya’s hands and feet.
Chains made of ice rings.
‘Ice Chain’. It had the effect of adding to the binding power by causing the opponent to suffer frostbite the moment they were bound by magic corresponding to the 5th circle.
However, Elric added one more magic.
Ice poison.
A poison that not only causes frostbite but also causes complete freezing.
It was a ‘frozen hand’.
“Kaaaaak!”
Kaya was unable to come to her senses as her wounds that had not completely healed froze and then burst, causing cold to penetrate her body at a rapid pace in a painful situation.
Kwakwakwa!
In addition, as a poisonous gust of wind swept in, his entire body was covered in wounds in no time.
“Huh huh huh huh…!”
The exhaled breath was filled with pure white breath and a terrible odor.
but.
“hey. If it hurts that much, should you use it?”
Before we knew it, Elric was smiling coldly as he snuggled into Kaya’s arms.
“It’s not over yet.”
bang!
He opened his palm wide and struck his abdomen.
Kaya’s body rose high into the air with a palm print like a brand.
The ice chains were pulled taut and then broke all at once.
With ice pieces falling into the rainwater.
Kaya’s pale body fell down, unable to break the law of gravity.
“【Pierce】.”
Elric didn’t stop there, but summoned a pile of ice arrows and fired them at the guy one after another.
The broken hands and feet bounced into the air and the wings collapsed down.
When it falls completely to the floor. More than half of its body had already been destroyed.
Still, he said he would try to counterattack somehow, so he swung his remaining ‘Poisonous Claw’ at Elric with all his might.
Sigh!
Elric turned his body to the side to avoid the attack, and at the same time pulled out the ‘ice knife’ and cut off the guy’s remaining wrist.
Truly an animal sense.
This was thanks to the sharp sense and mind’s eye that the ferocity’s seal made him extremely sensitive, allowing him to quickly predict the opponent’s path, and the gang body technique to reflexively move his body accordingly.
The combat sense I gained while rolling with all my might in Cheongyeon’s labyrinth was being put to very useful use.
“That’s ridiculous…!”
More than a lethal amount of blood was pouring out of Kaya’s body.
However, the reason the breathing tube is still attached is probably because it is a spiritual body made of demonic energy.
“How on earth can you, a human being, get this seal of the Snow Mountain King…? And you’re using Hyul’s power…!”
Kaya was shivering from the cold and looked up at Elric with an expression of complete disbelief.
In a long memory. Because the monarch who ruled the Georyong Mountains and the power of the Demon King, who had long been the terror of the East, were right in front of us.
Humans use the power of demons?
It was something that could not have happened.
I wondered if Elric was a compatriot who wore a sword, but that was definitely not the case.
In particular, the method of using the seal seemed to be magic, which only made me more confused.
“What are you going to do?”
However, Elric seemed to have no intention of satisfying the guy’s curiosity, so he pulled out a long ice knife and stabbed it between the eyes.
puck!
Fasce –
A red spot appeared on Kaya’s forehead, and her head fell back. At the same time, the magic energy that made up the body dispersed and flowed into Elric.
“Whoa…!”
Elric sucked it in with all his might.
The new seal was still not engraved, but it was gathered together next to the magic stone for future use.
and.
“Ugh. “I thought I was going to die from hardship.”
When all the absorption was completed, Elric collapsed into place.
My skin, which had been fine until now, suddenly became as colorful as a maple leaf.
A sweet smell was mixed with the exhaled breath, and the eyebrows were furrowed in pain.
“Are you okay?”
Augustine came up next to me and smiled and placed his hand on my back.
Hwaaa!
As the warm magic seeped into my body, it began to drive out the miasma that had begun to work in earnest.
Only after Hayes and Sean rushed over and administered first aid did Elric’s complexion become much more at ease.
“…Not at all.”
“okay. “It looks like that.”
On the surface, it seemed like Elric overwhelmed Kaya until the end of the battle.
In fact, Elric had to narrowly overcome moments of crisis several times.
“Are these guys really this strong?”
Even if the poison was defeated, not all of it was defeated.
Throughout the fight, Elric’s vision was blurred and his hands and feet were numb, so he barely managed to avoid losing control.
In the end, the ice chain was almost canceled because the mana road was blocked.
If Kaya had held on a little longer, the game might have been overturned.
“Strong. Don’t be strong. “It is strange that it operates in a system that is completely different from our common sense.”
The corners of Augustine’s mouth rose.
“If he had been a little more fit, you wouldn’t have been able to win.”
So, consider yourself lucky and work harder.
Augustine tried to say that.
but.
“no. “That’s not it.”
“…hmm?”
“Still, I would have won?”
At Elric’s shameless answer, Augustine burst out laughing, saying, ‘Huh!’
The problem was not that Elric was saying that, but that he really believed that.
“How can you be so confident?”
“Because it’s me.”
Augustine’s eyes widened for a moment as if he was at a loss for words, but then he smiled and shook his head.
Isn’t this really a confidence that knows no bounds?
The problem was that Elric was somehow trustworthy because he was like that.
Even if everyone said it was impossible, Elric would probably find a way to win even in an overwhelmingly unfavorable situation.
Of course, such cruelty did not apply to everyone.
Wow!
“Ahh! sister! “Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t your sister tell you not to act carelessly? “What happened to you?”
“Oh, okay, stop hitting me! Argh! It hurts! It really hurts! Argh!”
Elric had to taste the spicy touch of his worried sister several times with his whole body.
