Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 95

Episode 95

Second Arrangement

Elric and the Camellia God were unable to judge the situation properly and ended up with blank expressions.

Shake!

There was a faint sound of gears turning from somewhere.

Well,

unlike when the four seasons were seen sequentially, the world of images began to turn in reverse on its own.

The stone wall that Elric worked so hard to build collapsed, the shadows returned, the ground became solid again, and the fallen trees returned to their original places.

And the place where the two were was moved to a completely different place than Antromorph.

In the blink of an eye, everything changed to the same as when Elric first entered the image world.

“…!”

[…!]

The two had to freeze in a completely unexpected situation.

“What the hell is this…?”

Elric looked at the Camellia God with a blank face as he realized that all his hard work during the day had been in vain.

Since you said you were a guide here, I was wondering if you knew anything.

The God of Camellia was smiling bitterly, as if he had never even thought about it.

[ha! It looks like there’s something I didn’t check.]

“Are you really saying it was a failure?”

[Otherwise, there’s no way he could come back, right?]

Elric was about to ask what the reason was.

Before that, the God of Camellia shook his head and answered first.

[There are probably many reasons why it didn’t work out. This is a black snow field, right?]

Elric had to savor his appetite.

Because it’s a black snowy field.

With that one word, there was no need for any other reason.

[It’s been quite a while since I stayed here, but there are still so many things I don’t understand.] The

camellia god stood up, shaking his butt. It began to fly above Elric’s head, waving its light pink wings.

[Anyway, it looks like the ‘tutorial’ is over enough, so you can handle the rest on your own, right?]

Elric’s eyes widened slightly.

“Where are you going?”

[This is where Mervinger’s arrangement operates and is cut off from the outside world. As someone who has just woken up, even staying awake like this is a burden. I also have to clean up the temple, which must have been a mess because of the little kids.]

At the same time, the camellia god narrowed one eye.

[Or would you rather sleep next to this woman? Then, I think her recovery will be that much faster. How do you feel?]

Elric shrugged his shoulders.

“As you know, it is difficult to do so as the head of the Mervinger family has many obligations. sorry.”

[Hohoho! Mervinger is fulfilling his duty. There is no joke as funny as that.]

The camellia god laughed and prepared to fly again.

[Anyway, whenever an issue related to the tree arises, he will appear and help you, so don’t worry too much and just focus on the arrangement strategy.]

“Sleep…!”

Elric belatedly remembered that he had not yet received information about the compost, but the camellia god had already disappeared.

“…I can’t help it. Well, I think we need to find the cause of the failure first.”

Elric licked his lips and looked down at the slate again.

The stone tablet had returned to its original state, with the letters referring to ‘rewind’ disappearing.

‘Rewind… Is this a structure where you keep trying again until you succeed in the mission like in the Snow Mountain King? It looks like it has been revived countless times.’

Still, thanks to this, the questions in my head began to be resolved to some extent.

‘Although our ancestors had a bit of an ironic side, they wouldn’t have turned back time just to play a prank… I’m really saying there was something in that garden that I wasn’t aware of.’

From selecting the land to purifying it.

Because I was really prepared for everything.

“I guess I’ll have to check it myself first.”

Elric moved towards Antromorph again.

* * *

“【Sense】.”

As soon as Elric arrived at his destination, he sprayed a lot of magic throughout the area.

This was to figure out what he was missing by mobilizing not only the anglerfish but also the ‘mana scan’.

Although it was purified, it could have been because the soil quality was not suitable for the camellia tree, or there could have been monsters that were not identified.

‘I’m glad that the amount of magical energy I acquired before the rewind remains. If that had been reset, my frustration would have been no joke.’

Although it is a very small amount, the range of the magic field depending on the dissolution rate has also changed accordingly.

however.

“…hmm.”

Elric soon frowned.

No matter how much I looked into every nook and cranny, I couldn’t find any abnormalities other than what I detected yesterday.

‘Should I look for another place?’

The mission given by Otto Hahn was to grow trees to a certain extent, but he did not necessarily specify a single location.

There was no need to stick to just this one.

‘no. ‘It would be good to stay here for the long term.’

Elric’s eyes narrowed.

‘It is said that this world recreates the time period of 400 years ago. I’m sure… I know that it was around that time that the Tiger family first started constructing Antromorphs.’

My grandfather, Usden Mervinger, went to the city of Antromov and visited the Temple of Flowers.

What does this mean?

Can the revitalization of the relationship with the beast people, especially the Tiger family, be considered simply a ‘coincidence’?

Elric thought that couldn’t be done.

If that were true, there would be no need to set the historical background like this.

Although I also had doubts about whether the world of images accurately reproduced the situations and characters of the time.

‘There’s no harm in trying.’

Of course, it didn’t suit his temperament to keep heading into the ground.

Elric took back the mana scans he had spread out.

Instead, the range of the magic field was pulled vertically rather than horizontally.

‘If it doesn’t work out wide… go deep!’

Perhaps there is something else so deep that it cannot even be reached.

With that in mind, I continued digging down the stratum.

Soon, I was able to come face to face with something huge and hard like bedrock.

‘found!’

At that moment, Elric used his flight magic and rose very high into the sky.

Kukuku…!

I felt like the ground was shaking very slightly.

Quaaaang!

Suddenly, the ground exploded, revealing a monster boasting enormous size and length.

Wow!

“shit! “I couldn’t believe it, but it was a death worm!”

Elric frowned.

Some of the contents contained in the booklet “Monster Encyclopedia” that I once saw in the academy’s library came to mind.

[Death Worm: From as small as 30 meters to as long as 50 meters. It has a mouth so large that it can swallow other monsters in one bite, reaching a length of 3 meters, and its body is full of stiff thorns and highly toxic mucus, so it is famous for being difficult to approach in close combat.] [

It nests very deep underground, where it cannot be easily detected even by detection. It has a habit of digging holes and hiding when it feels disadvantaged during battle. When it appears, it can be very dangerous.]

[It is a level 3 monster that is difficult to deal with even if a wizard-level war mage or three are attached to it, so it is best to avoid it if you encounter it even by chance.] Just

meeting the strongest of the worm lineage is a headache for an Elric. It was work.

‘This is why the seeds die as soon as they are planted!’

Elric is also said to have wizard-level skills, but he has not yet been officially approved as a member of the 6th circle.

It was definitely not easy to deal with this guy alone, as it took three or four people to catch him.

Instead, he had many other strengths that made up for his shortcomings.

Magic martial arts and strong body techniques.

Aren’t both of them proud of their best skills in battle?

“【Swing】!”

Quad deuk!

Elric did not avoid the Death Worm but attacked it from the front.

A blizzard whirled past, clawing at the death worm’s tough hide.

Slime splattered randomly in all directions. As the ice poison penetrated deeply into the wound, the ice quickly widened the wound.

Kuuuuung –

Over the body of the guy writhing in pain.

Good!

As Elric landed, he forcibly opened the Steel Body Art.

“【Opening of arms】.”

Gang body art.

Baekho Nana – Gyeong (勁).

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Elric exploded the Choshik, which boasted the greatest power, right into the frozen wound.

At the same time, he mixed up the meaning of ‘Gyeong’ that he had understood while chatting with Hermann.

A method of ascension that boasts greater destructive and killing power by condensing all power into one small point.

And when the seal of the evil star was added to this, the destructive power increased by several times.

The wound exploded as if a firecracker had exploded.

Mucus, blood, and broken flesh obscured my vision.

Although all of them were full of toxicity, Elric tried to attack them again by using ‘shield’ to throw them all to the side.

Because I thought I could finish it if I did that.

but.

“…!”

For a moment, Elric lifted his head up from his posture at the alarm bell screeched by the anglerfish.

Squirt-

Kyaaaaaak!

There was another death worm charging at him with its mouth wide open!

‘There were two!’

Elric quickly raised the shields one after another.

bang!

bang!

Quaaaang!

However, because the magic field was not set up properly, the remaining four layers of shield were shattered very easily one after another.

Finally, just as the last remaining shield seemed about to shatter at any moment, the shadow of the maw reached up to Elric’s head.

“shit!”

Kwasik!

In the end, the last shield broke and Elric was sucked straight into the Death Worm’s maw.

but.

Kwakwakwak!

The Death Worm’s head was blown off by the explosion that occurred inside.

There was Elric in the middle of the blizzard.

However, he had to grind his teeth while covered in gastric juice and poison.

“shit…!”

I couldn’t help but feel annoyed because I got a lot of unnecessary injuries due to the unexpected appearance of this guy.

The feeling of being sucked into the foul-smelling maw of a death worm was by no means a pleasant experience.

The sticky mucus, quadruple teeth, and acid-filled stomach fluid were all terrifying.

For a moment, Elric thought about resetting it again, but he didn’t want to go through any trouble again, so he activated the dragon magic.

“【Swallow】 【Get Well】.”

Using the seal of the evil star, he made the shadow absorb demonic energy from the corpse of a dead death worm.

Chi-ik!

By using healing magic at the same time, I began to heal my bruised wounds. A hazy glow rose above my skin and steam rose.

However, the speed of recovery was much slower than expected.

‘As time goes by, the effectiveness of magic without seals continues to decline.’

Maybe I should at least get a seal related to treatment later.

Elric had that thought for just a moment.

But I soon shook my head, saying it was a useless thought.

‘It’s black magic for treatment. Hmm, I don’t think there’s anything as contradictory as that… huh?’

Elric had to harden his expression for a moment while telling such a boring joke.

This was because the stone slab I had in my arms was shaking slightly.

Did I make another mistake? With such anxiety in mind, I looked at the stone tablet. Fortunately, this time something different was written.

No, it was actually good content.

[Successfully meets the requirements.]

[The first constraint is lifted.]

‘Constraint?’

I take a closer look to see what this means.

[Seal opening.]

“…!”

Paaaat!

At that moment, a band of light identical to the one engraved on the stone tablet was engraved on Elric’s right wrist.
