Chapter 96 Appearance (8)
Cybel fights Marcosias for a few minutes.
“Ha, ha, ha… … ! How are you, Marco? … !”
Cybel gasped deeply.
Simultaneous operation of mana and auror. This inherently dangerous method is truly a technique only allowed to Cybel. However, even for Saibel, it is not without burden.
From the simple problem of consuming more than twice the amount of mana he had, Cybel himself knew that he was overheating. It is similar to overclocking. Of course, it’s great that overclocking is the only technology that makes other people useless.
Meanwhile, what happened to Marcosias, also known as Marco, whom Cybel was dealing with?
“… … hehehehe. “As expected, it’s amazing.”
Marco once again makes a carefree and cocky noise towards Cybel.
But he had already started to move his head around a long time ago.
“hey! “Even the skeleton would be dead just like that!”
Cybel looked down at Marco as if she was fed up.
It is impossible for Marco to block Cybel’s attack.
A blade that ignores the opponent’s aura and reaches the enemy’s body directly. Even if it is a demon, it is impossible to block all auras and magic with its body.
However, if you avoid it, it is slower than Cybel’s ‘white’.
In other words, Cybel was not only superior here, but victory was determined.
Except Marco’s regenerative abilities.
‘What on earth?’
I tried setting it on fire and electrocuting my whole body with lightning. Of course, the entire body was separated in all sorts of ways.
Nevertheless, Marco is still alive. Of course, now I only have a head.
Although his regeneration speed is quite fast, Sibel’s blows are much faster, so Sibel already has the absolute advantage.
Until all her mana runs out.
‘Did the demon named Marcosias have the ability to regenerate?’
It’s not that Cybel knows much about the demon called Marcosias. Because it was nothing more than a passing glance at a demon that resembled his own characteristics while investigating it. In Cybel’s memories, Marcosias had nothing to do with regenerative abilities.
Cybel is now using magic and aura at the same time. In other words, the enemy is hit by both magic and aura at the same time. At this point, no matter how unique a monster is, its weaknesses are bound to be discovered.
There are many monsters with regenerative abilities, but most of them are not complete. If you burn it, you can’t regenerate, you can destroy the core that regenerates, or if you’re an undead type, you can borrow the power of divine power.
Cybel can’t use divine power, so other than that, I’ve already done everything I could.
Marco’s regenerative ability can be considered close to immortality at this point.
‘Is the core somewhere else, like Richie?’
Lich’s core, the so-called life vessel. The lich, who has the trait of being immortal until he destroys it, hides his core somewhere.
But that’s literally something only Richie can do. A lich is a being who has even put his own body into the object of his magic. The body is not the main body, but the life vessel is the main body, and the body is nothing more than what the life vessel controls. Of course, it’s not something the devil can follow.
‘Besides, if it’s that type of playback, why do you do things like ‘avoid’? Just ignore any attack.’
The reason Cybel has the upper hand now is largely because Marco tried to avoid the attack.
Monsters with regenerative abilities usually use their own regenerative abilities. There are also crazy ones who make reckless lunges, intentionally hit the opponent’s weapon and tie it up, or throw their own limbs.
But Marco is different. If completely ignored, Cybel could have been dangerous. You can’t avoid lightning, so if you get hit, it’s Marco’s turn at that moment anyway.
But Marco tried to avoid it, and this is the result. Although Cybel’s mana continues to be consumed, it is not a good situation for Marco.
Marco does not use his regenerative abilities. It’s an ability that’s extremely close to perfection.
When you put it off.
‘… … ‘Have you just recently gained regenerative abilities?’
While Cybel made his own guess.
“Well, I guess I have no choice but to run away like this.”
Marco sighed. I don’t know why a guy with nothing but a head would do something like that because there’s no room for him to breathe.
“Who helped you escape?”
“Don’t overdo it. Your mana will soon run out of energy. But I wasn’t originally meant for you, and I need to get out of the way before other help arrives. “It’s the same for everyone who is pressed for time.”
Marco originally tried to capture Aten.
Cybel came and Aten ran away, so at this point Marco’s operation had already failed.
Cybel put strength into the hand holding the rapier.
‘… … That’s right. If this continues, all mana will be used up. Then I will be the one in danger.’
Marco moved at a speed that Aten could not follow with his eyes. Cybel would be able to handle it to some extent, but with a body without mana, he wouldn’t be able to go far.
But that doesn’t mean we can send it away like this. Right now, Cybel has the absolute advantage, and if we wait a little longer, support will definitely come. Elodie or Ospreet might be able to come up with a plan to overcome this guy.
“Whoop!”
“Kya?!”
Just as Cybel’s worries deepened, Marco suddenly spewed fire from his mouth. While Cybel retreated in surprise, Marco’s fire swept across his front.
‘Ahead!’
Cybel raised her empty hand and chanted a spell. Of course, you can put magic into the sword, but that is not appropriate for this situation.
After it became possible to use aurors and magic simultaneously, Cybel invested a little more time in magic.
I have had some of that talent since I learned magic from Aten in Tayvon. Thanks to this, Cybel has now had to invest more than twice as much in learning as ordinary students. Swordsmanship and magic, neither can be abandoned.
Quaaa!
A gust of wind blows in front of Cybel’s hand, sweeping away the front. It wasn’t easy to put out the flames, but Marco didn’t start the fire completely either.
After Cybel turned out all the lights.
“Well, it was impossible to recover everything. “You are quick to judge, Cybel Forte.”
“… … “Tch.”
Meanwhile, Marco, whose body had regenerated to some extent, stood before her eyes. However, one arm and one leg were missing. Of course, it is still playing right now.
“Sibel, let me ask you something.”
“What? Are you trying to recover in the meantime?’
“You don’t understand the situation. You can’t kill me. Meanwhile, your mana continues to decrease. When that mana runs out, you know who dies, right? “Thank goodness I’m trying to end the conversation.”
“… … .”
Cybel looked at Marco quietly.
In fact, Marco has already completely disarmed his aurors. Of course, it’s still regenerating, but there’s no point in continuing to cut down someone who won’t die anyway. Actually, as Marco said, I am worried about the amount of mana remaining.
“… … good. What?”
“You are presenting a completely different picture from the information I received. Anyway, I don’t think the information is that old. At most there will be a difference of a few months. “You have grown tremendously in such a short period of time.”
“It’s a question. “Isn’t that a question?”
“That growth.”
Marco raised his regenerating arm. As if he had originally intended to do so, when the regeneration was complete, he swept his beard.
“Was there any intervention from Frontier?”
“… … .”
“Is it because of Frondier that you are so strong now?”
This question.
Cybel knows what it means.
‘The devils said I was unmarked. They may have judged my skills based on old standards, but they probably thought that me and Frontieri had nothing to do with it.’
In reality, the interaction between Cybel and Frontier is not that deep. Although Frontier did not tell her, Cybel was originally a villain, and that is why Frontier has been avoiding Cybel.
So Marco checks again. About the relationship between Cybel and Frontier.
It was decided what to answer.
‘If they are convinced that I and Frondier are related, I will also become a target of demons. That’s dangerous.’
So you have to pretend not to know.
Although not as good as Selena, Cybel can act quite well. She used to use her looks and cuteness to get what she wanted.
… … one.
“that’s right.”
Cybel said with a grin.
“I’m here thanks to Frontier.”
Cybel didn’t lie. I couldn’t do that.
For her safety, I had to lie.
In the end, it could not be said that the power she had now gained had nothing to do with Frontier.
“… … Is that so.”
Marco narrowed his eyebrows as if he was displeased with Cybel’s answer for some reason.
“I feel bad for people who don’t lie.”
“Better than a regenerating demon. So why is that? “Have you changed your mind?”
“yes. “I tried to just run away, but I can’t leave you behind if you have that much of a connection to Frondier.”
Marco slowly activates his aura again. Accordingly, Sibel also takes her stance again.

Cybel’s blade burns with flame again.
Marco tilts his head as if he is puzzled by that.
“Oh, is it a flame? “If it weren’t for lightning, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my speed.”
“Do not be ridiculous. “It’s better to burn something like you.”
Cybel smiled and said it as if provoking her, but Marco was actually right.
Lightning is better to cut down Marco. It is the fastest of Cybel’s magic, and the only blow that Marco cannot avoid.
However, lightning consumes much more mana than fire.
‘He’s the one who won’t die anyway. It’s not important to gain the upper hand, I just have to slow down my mana consumption even a little.’
It would be best if we could take the time and have someone else come to our aid.
… … However, Cybel does not see that possibility as high. Most people would have been in a similar situation to her. Above all, it is very unlikely that many people will come to her aid.
Nevertheless, Cybel smiles provocatively. Even though cold sweat runs down his back, his eyes towards Marco are challenging and strong.
‘… … are you okay.’

Cybel thought.
‘Even if I become a hostage, Frondier won’t move because of me alone. ‘Aten will make a much more cool-headed decision than if he gets caught.’
Cybel has strong feelings for Frontier, and clearly perceives it as a crush. It’s been like that for a long time.
But during that long time, Frontier never looked after her.
Cybel was jealous of Elodie. Because he was Frontier’s childhood friend. Even though her relationship with Frontier didn’t seem that close, she knew that Frontier trusted Elodie when it really mattered.
I was jealous of Aten. Aten, a beautiful pure white girl who was also a princess, always chased after Frondier, and Frondier took it for granted that Aten always chased after her.
I was jealous of Selena. As Frondier’s guard, I stayed by his side when it was important, even if I wasn’t around most of the time. How depressed I was when Frontier went on a date with Selena to buy her clothes.
… … So it’s okay.
To Frondier, I am not worth being a hostage.
“… … come. “It’s a wild dog.”
Cybel taunts him. Marco’s eyes twitched. Marcosias originally resembled a ‘wolf’. Cybel knows even that, and it is an appropriate provocation that she can do because she knows it.
“After all, I can’t leave you behind.”
Marco raised his hand. I’m sure I’ve fought so far, but Marco doesn’t have a weapon. I don’t know if it’s because he’s confident about being an Auror, or if he’s hiding a real weapon.
At that time, the tension between the two reached its peak and they were about to clash.
“… … !”
A demon flew behind Marco’s back. The devil bowed his head in front of Marco and then said something. The mouth was moving, but no words were heard in Cybel’s ears.
‘The wind whispers!’
Cybel realized that the opponent had started a soundproofing spell and created a spell to break through the opponent’s magic.
But perhaps his report was short, and after the magic was lifted, Marco just…
“… … what?”
All he could do was ask back as if he couldn’t believe it.
“… … .”
Marco closed his mouth and looked at Cybel. A look of concern flashed across his face for a moment, and he looked at Cybel and spoke again.
“Really, today is the worst timing in many ways.”
“… … hehehe. “Are you going to leave me behind?”
“yes. But I will remember your courage. “That answer was impressive.”
After saying that, Marco spread his wings and flew away with the demon who came to report to him.
Cybel thought about punching him in the back, but eventually realized it was pointless and relaxed his stance.
“… … Phew… … .”
After unlocking ‘petal’, extreme fatigue accumulates. After the war, I trained to become familiar with this technology, but it was still a huge burden. Although it can operate for a much longer period of time than before.
‘Why did you suddenly run away?’
I don’t know if I can say I escaped that, but the situation has definitely changed.
Sybel bit her lip as an ominous feeling came over her.
Right after disabling the wind whisper, I heard it very faintly.
The devil seemed to have the word ‘success’ in his mouth.
