Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 88

Episode 88

Wolf

『This is bullshit. It’s so bad.』

Mephisto shook his head as he watched the scene disappearing into the distance behind the carriage.

『I wonder what the hell is so good about a guy like this that everyone is

making such a fuss about.』 [I should be so proud. Would you say that this is the type of talent that everyone covets? That’s why I’m a bit tired.]

Mephisto looked at Elric’s shameless face as he answered shamelessly, but Elric didn’t care at all.

『You’re using electromagnetic waves again?』

[Isn’t it a bit disgusting to look into each other’s inner thoughts?]

『I guess we’re on the same page in this regard.』

[So let’s just keep going like this from now on.]

When the pairing was first formed, Elric and Mephisto really had a hard time.

Even if you think about something random, the other person will notice it like a ghost.

Fortunately, we have both become somewhat accustomed to it now and can adjust the pairing.

It seemed like there would be no intention of opening this for a while.

『Do you think it would be of more help than that?』

[Well. I don’t really know.]

Elric answered while scratching the back of his head.

In fact, the reason why the conversation with King Herman of Velence lasted so long was because it sparked a passion for learning about a field I didn’t know for the first time in a while.

Rather, I was wondering if there was anything that could be of some help in dealing with the seal of original sin.

After absorbing the baby demon. Elric was able to succeed in getting ‘one step’ closer to the seal of original sin, which had seemed far away until now.

It was still the same as if I was in a fog, unable to make out any shapes or features, but there was still something that caught my fingertips.

So, if you try to pull it even a little in this direction…

‘My body was having a seizure.’

I don’t know what kind of magic he was trying to use, but it not only used up all of his dissolved magic power, but it was enough to strain his body’s strength.

The mana rods almost got twisted all at once.

It’s a shame that Elric has been on alert due to his arrhythmia, otherwise something really big might have happened.

So, from then on, Elric tried to avoid touching the seal of original sin, even if by mistake.

But that doesn’t mean we can just leave it alone.

Intense curiosity and inquisitiveness were like occupational diseases of wizards.

Elric was thinking about another way to access the Seal of Original Sin, and his mind fell on steel body magic.

Could it be that the vessel called the body is not yet strong enough to accept the seal of original sin? Because I had that thought.

[But aren’t you really going to explain why such a phenomenon occurs?]

『Yes.』

[Tap dance?]

『Hmph! I don’t know how long you’re going to make threats like that, but if you can’t teach me, there’s no point.』

Mephisto snorted and turned his head to the side.

Elric quietly looked at the back of Mephisto’s head with disgust, but he said that if you want to try it, give it a try.

[Even Mephie doesn’t know.]

Wince!

At that moment, Mephisto’s shoulders shook.

[That’s right. I don’t know.]

I flinch!

『I don’t know what you’re talking about! There is no way in this world that King Bon, who was called the Great Demon King of Great Demon Kings, does not know…!』

[Now that I think about it, you didn’t even know what the sub-lineage of original sin was, right? He didn’t even know that this little demon was under him. Then we may not know the cause. What on earth do you know?]

『That’s not it!』

[That’s not true.]

This time, Elric snorted.

[Anyway, I will continue to train my body, but if I still lack the ‘qualifications’ to control the seal, I will have to continue collecting similar seals.]

Elric recalled the place where Chancellor Norus first met the baby demon.

[Demon beast…]

Chancellor Norus had already heard about the location of the demon beast.

The problem is that it is located too deep in the black snowfield.

『The black snow field is made up of nine levels (9 heavens), and the place where the demonic tree grows corresponds to the third level, 3 heavens (三泉). But you want to go there?』

If you want to get away, go there. But before that, let me go and let me go. Mephisto was saying that.

Elric knew that it would still be difficult to reach 3000 with his skills, so he couldn’t reply.

Even in 10 million, which is the outer area where the beast people live, it was a difficult situation due to General Dong and everything, and I couldn’t even guess how crazy the difficulty was there.

It is said that Prime Minister Norus also had a difficult time with several fighters at the time.

Kikiki kick. I think I’d be much better off than that useless thing. Don’t you think so?

At that time, the seal of the evil star stirred and the thoughts of Demon King Hyul said something.

‘shut up. No matter what, it’s not you.’

It’s a shame… but think about it carefully. Unlike that, I will always be faithful to you.

It felt like Hyul’s thoughts had become more talkative after the seal evolved.

Although I never accepted it.

‘Anyway, this guy, that guy, and the demons, I haven’t found one I like.’

Elric was lost in thought for a moment as to what to do with these pieces of luggage.

* * *

“I will learn.”

After much coordination(?) of opinions.

What Hermann and Augustine faced, respectively, were cheers and frustration.

“Hehehe! okay. Well thought out. When doing mathematics, focusing one’s learning in one direction can lead to a wrong way of thinking, so it is an attitude that must be avoided as a mathematician!”

“because! You still have a lot to learn from this old man and Gility! “What are you touching again?”

“That is correct! “I haven’t taught you anything other than Hwanan!”

Giliti felt the same way as Augustine today.

but.

“I want to learn.”

With one word from Elric, we both sank.

“The basis of Gangcheism is ultimately martial arts. “Then, I thought I needed to deepen my foundation in martial arts in order to learn it more clearly.”

“….”

“….”

How can I respond when you say something like that?

“Due to the nature of my family, we will continue to wage war against demons, so I thought it would be better to know various attack methods.”

For a moment, Augustine felt a sense of crisis.

‘no! If things continue like this, I might lose my student to others!’

When Augustine first forced Elric to become his disciple, he did say that it was okay to put Mervinger’s duties first.

But that doesn’t mean that Deer Nokya should be pushed to 3rd or 4th place!

Although he never thought that he would be able to monopolize Elric in the first place, the teacher wanted to keep Elric as his own for as long as possible.

‘There was already a lot of talk that even the old people in the senate and the guesthouse were showing interest, so why are they even talking about kittens now?’

‘Kitten’ was a slang term that senior wizards often used to disparage the various lions of the Lion House.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll forget my duty. “I am a wizard, and I will only use martial arts as a means of assistance.”

It was only then that Augustine’s expression relaxed a little at Elric’s words.

Hermann nodded as if it was obvious.

‘No matter what, it’s important to take the first step. ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.’

In any case, Hermann did not think that he would be able to completely draw the Mervinger family head into the world of martial arts.

However, if you can follow the plan you have in your head and develop him into a proper talent worthy of taking over the position of Blue Lion.

and.

‘If only I could go further and aim for the top.’

The moment her true feelings were revealed, which she was still a daughter and could not tell even to her sworn brothers, Lee Chae appeared above her two pupils and then disappeared.

“I originally promised you something, so would it be okay if I receive treatment and seek learning at the same time?”

“Let it be so. No, I think that would be better. “If you look at your body and continue to observe changes, it will be much easier to understand.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Elric lowered his head.

Whether it was a martial artist or a magician, it was taboo for someone else to touch their body carelessly, no matter how close they were.

Nevertheless, Hermann is willing to use his body as an experiment tool, so I can’t help but be thankful.

But Hermann shook his head.

“What are you talking about? “In fact, I should be grateful to you, who not only opened a new path for me when I was dying, but also saved my daughter from danger.”

Hermann nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Isabelle with a faint smile next to him.

Elric thought it was fortunate, but he suddenly became curious and asked Hermann and Augustin.

“By the way, what was the agreement between you two? “I think the fight ended rather quickly.”

Augustine crossed his arms and snorted.

Hermann burst out laughing.

“Hehehe! Of course, I got beaten up a lot.”

Anyone who sees it will think I won.

“But the old monster was holding on to his pants.”

I felt like I could see what he would have done, so I didn’t ask any deeper questions.

And from then on.

Elric began listening to basic lectures on martial arts from Hermann whenever he had time.

“You are a wizard. So, if you delve deeply into one sport such as swordsmanship or martial arts, there is a high possibility that you will end up with nothing.”

“Then what should I do?”

“I think it would be good to experience a variety of things, even if it is a little shallow.”

He said he would teach him various military techniques.

His eyes lit up because it was something he had hoped for as an Elric, and Herman smiled with satisfaction when he saw that.

“The look in your eyes is already different. Fortunately, my six brothers, including me, each have different weapons and pursue different goals. Therefore, I will be able to show you various angles, so it will be of some help to you.”

Hermann finished his explanation and began to lightly warm up.

“Now then, shall we get started?”

Patter, patter, patter!

The moment everything is ready.

Whoa!

The air surrounding Hermann changed drastically.

It was heavy and big.

‘You mean this is a lion?’

Elric’s eyes brightened.

Hermann hadn’t even picked up his sword yet. Even though I didn’t make any particular motion (basic motion posture), I had to feel the pressure of a huge beast lying down and quietly watching me.

I heard that martial arts practitioners consider suppressing the baseline to be the most important.

When I experienced it myself, it took my breath away.

‘I heard that my body is still not completely healed. How much will it change when it returns to normal?’

Sword Master.

When it comes to magicians, they are absolute figures who have reached the 9th circle.

Hermann was a person who had reached the end of martial arts. All Elric could think of was that he should do his best to learn.

And if you experience martial arts like this, wouldn’t you be able to open your eyes in a new way about the martial arts?

“What do you think the weapon is?”

“A tool… that fights on my behalf?”

“That’s right. It’s a tool. To be precise, it is a tool used to make it easier to win a fight. Others may say that there is a Tao in it, but at least in my opinion, a weapon is just a tool. So what would be the best weapon?”

Elric was lost in thought for a moment.

“Shouldn’t it be sharp?”

“Can we continue to sharpen our swords on a battlefield where battles take place day after day?”

“So hard?”

“What if it breaks? What if you accidentally lose your weapon? “You have to pick up anything that falls on the ground and fight.”

Elric realized that he had thought too easily.

Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.

“It should be comfortable.”

Hermann nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right. It should be easy to use. Just as you can freely use your hands and feet without being conscious of it, being able to use weapons like that is the best. “A weapon is an extension of the hand.”

Herman threw the wooden sword he had happily carved all night to Elric.

“Now then, let’s try to lengthen your hands from now on.”

“What should I do first?”

Elric took it lightly, but then got scared.

“Like I said, you should learn from the basics. “Slash it 100,000 times.”

“…yes?”

“Hang down 100,000 times. Of course, you shouldn’t use magical power, right?”

“…!”

“haha. Let’s start with the basics. “From the basics.”

Only then did I remember Elric. Hermann is famous for his chivalry, but whose eldest brother was he actually?

『Pahahaha! That’s right! There’s no way there’s a normal person like someone who was twisted by you!』

Mephisto’s cries and laughter as he said he would die happily only sounded disgusting.
