Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 203
Cursed Mining Mill.
Solia, who silently looked down at the Magi coming up from the ground, frowned.
It is an instinctive rejection.
It was bleak, but the mining farms of the Arkenent Territory, which were ordinary, suddenly changed like this. It was difficult to even stand up to such an evil energy that it was disgusting.
At that time, the knight who was waiting for Solia hurriedly walked from the other side.
It was to convey the message received from Count Arkenent and the current situation.
“How did this happen?”
Knight Rune reported the situation with a rigid posture.
“We were trying to figure out what was going on.”
The cursed land suddenly began to devour people.
There have already been dozens of casualties within a week. Even looking at the growing evil energy spreading around the mining site, it was found that bizarre natural phenomena were expanding around this place.
“But, I can’t figure out why… This is how I met you. Although holy water is poured, it is not diluted, and the number of casualties is increasing as to whether that magic is gathering people.”
Why Count Arkenent couldn’t figure it out.
In order to solve this problem, it is best to summon Solia, the wizard of light, so I asked her for help.
In fact, Solia had the power to purify and suppress this strong magical energy.
An unpleasant aura wrapped around his toes, but it was still at a level that could be sorted out.
“… That’s how it happened.”
Solia judged that, and slowly walked through the mines filled with Magi.
Then he instructed the knight Rune.
“Control this area and make sure no one enters.”
“all right!”
Magi are not tangible beings.
Also, magic is not an attack that can be cut with a sword.
Therefore, even if you bring a few knights along, it will only get in the way.
deal with it alone
Solia made up her mind like that and hurried her steps.
The distance from the knight Rune who had received the order was getting farther and farther away.
Solia muttered to herself with a sullen face.
“If you want to return to Audrey, you have to solve it within today.”
In fact, Solia’s head was full of other thoughts.
While she came here, there were people she left behind.
It took quite a while to get to Arkenent.
Besides, I spent more time there collecting tools for purification.
I’m sure you’ll need my help over there as well, but you haven’t been away for too long.
Solia looked around, thinking that it would be over quickly.
What the hell is the source of this evil energy?
The basis of purification is to find the source.
Even if the power of purification is poured into the land flowing with white magic, if the source cannot be stopped, it is only a temporary solution.
Solia walked in search of the place where she felt the most magi.
Occasionally, Magi took shape and attacked her,
The strong light shield easily blocked the evil energy.
“What is this?”
widely-.
Kick-.
Black smoke rises with the sound of a burning magi.
A pungent smell pierced the tip of his nose. Even if you stay for a long time, Magi will calm down and you will have trouble breathing.
Uncomfortable.
Also, I want to finish it quickly.
“Is it here?”
Solia stopped in front of the point where she felt the strong magic.
But he tilted his head.
It was more intense than other places, but it was a little insufficient to say that it was the source.
“It’s ambiguous… .”
Solia took one step, and took another step.
“Then where are you?”
A similar concentration of magic.
Solia tilted her head and stepped back.
“what?”
It’s a little different from the normal Magi that he knows.
There is something strange about being formed naturally by obsidian.
bum bum.
Solia walked along where she could feel Magi.
“Here and here. Also here… .”
Magi felt uniformly everywhere.
It draws a line and stretches forward, then breaks.
As if drawing a form… .
“One form… .”
Solia paused as she pondered those words.
Magi is taking shape and erupting.
like a magic circle.
“Magic circle?”
Realizing that, Solia’s face turned white.
It wasn’t that the magic that came out naturally engulfed people.
A magic circle installed in this wide land killed people.
while waiting for someone
In other words, the person who installed the magic circle is not far away.
“It’s a trap.”
The moment Solia spoke out in a trembling voice.
“Gagging!”
A dark cloud fell over Solia.
* * *
It was exposed to a huge amount of magic at one time.
The poison that could not be overcome even with the power of ‘Purification’ struck Solia’s lungs like a rushing storm.
Magi so powerful that it was hard to breathe, crushed Solia.
An unwelcome silhouette shone through the cracks in the black clouds.
Three warlocks are approaching this way.
Since there was no opponent to win in this situation, Solia chose to run away.
＜Shadowing＞.
At least, it is her ability that Solia can rely on in this situation.
Solia disappeared like the wind and like light, seeping through the clouds.
She, who became a shadow, succeeded in completely hiding herself from the Magi’s storm, and the warlocks who were chasing her with confidence began to wander.
There is only an empty lot near the mining site.
The decision to go to an inconspicuous place preceded it.
Solia ran non-stop.
“Huh… Ugh.”
ran towards the forest.
A wooded, shadowed, cursed forest near the mines.
As soon as possible, I fled to the forest.
Although he succeeded in dodging the enemy for a while, the distance between them was not even that much.
Magi stormed this way, blocking their sight.
Since there is only one way to escape in the first place, it will probably follow soon.
Solia staggered and stretched her legs out.
how much longer can you last
They are humans who have set up traps in the Arkenent Spirit and waited for them.
He probably wasn’t the only one who was aiming for it, but he fell into the trap alone.
I don’t want to cause trouble, so I guess it would have been better to leave the academy friends alone and come alone.
Solia didn’t know.
He just clenched his teeth and ran.
At that moment, a cold voice pierced the back of his head.
“It’s over there!”
not far away.
Have you already been chasing this far?
Unrefined Solia’s magic was flowing out.
In order to purify the poison that was spreading throughout his body, he was pouring out an excessive amount of magical power.
Perhaps they are looking for her magic marks and chasing them.
However, the body that went beyond its limits completely lost the ability to control magic.
“Ugh!”
Solia knows instinctively.
Three high-ranking warlocks.
The moment they were struck by the wide-area magic they had built solidly, most people would have been swallowed up by the magic on the spot.
And, yourself too.
I just endured a little longer, but the end was not far away.
The poison spreads through the body little by little.
Solia forced her feet to move more and more, not noticing.
I ran non-stop without time to properly detoxify.
There was no time to think about detoxification, and he continued to run without a break.
But in the end, both legs lost strength and could no longer run.
“Ouch!”
dump.
As my legs loosened, I fell forward.
Blood was oozing from his shriveled knee, but he felt no pain as his leg was paralyzed.
The creepy voices are getting closer.
“It’s near here. Search all over!”
“ah… no.”
Solia closed her eyes tightly.
Solia checked the nape of her neck as she fumbled and took the shiny necklace in her hand.
Her artifact that purifies and detoxifies the contaminated magic circuit.
“ha… .”
Purification’s ability had reached its limit.
A life that should have died sooner.
Even with the power of purification, the curse that could not be endured, this artifact was able to withstand it.
Of course, it is a very desperate moment to be relieved of that fact.
Solia slowly got up from her fallen body.
There is no time to be immersed in emotions.
When I see this necklace, I think of a person.
“You… Did you know?”
That this detox artifact will give you one more chance to run.
It’s the only hope I can hold on to.
Did you calculate everything and present this to yourself?
“You… As if you always knew everything. You saved me… .”
Even when I was kidnapped by a cursed tree.
Even when he formed the Drake subjugation team and did something reckless.
Even at this moment when the poison spreads and I can’t even run.
Han Si-ha saved herself.
therefore… .
therefore… .
Solia staggered and grabbed the necklace in her hand.
“I know you don’t care, but… .”
one more time.
Shouldn’t I be hoping for that miracle?
“Save me, Han Shiha.”
Clear tears flowed from Solia’s eyes.
* * *
The wind blows in the gloomy forest.
The depleted mana can no longer support Solia.
Her ＜Shadow Paintings＞ was also released a long time ago.
Solia was completely surrounded.
There was no miracle.
Solia looked up at the sky and smiled sadly.
The hand holding the necklace trembled slightly.
I could have endured it.
You can’t win alone.
Even if you don’t see this fight, it’s her defeat.
Having no one to fight with… .
Sometimes it’s grateful, sometimes it’s sad.
Solia thought so and met the approaching shadow.
He surrounded himself and stared at those approaching him.
“ha… .”
The condition of the body is so bad that it is hard to breathe.
He is barely holding on, and he knows that there is no chance of winning in this fight as his body is in a state of not being able to properly use his mana.
However.
Even if it’s a fight that can’t be won, I don’t intend to be treated kindly.
Solia held out her wand and stretched out her hand.
“… .”
The sound of the wind swaying through the trees echoes like a howling.
Solia closed her eyes as if she had sensed the end.
That was the moment.
“Solia!”
A familiar voice pierces my ears.
Someone called his name.
Solia turned her head to where the sound was heard.
I can’t.
“Solia!”
you can’t be here
“Hey, Solia! Wake!”
“one… One hour?”
The face I had been drawing so much was running towards me.
