109 – Miracles
Wriggling
Giant tentacles that seem to devour the world stretch out in all directions. It looks like the mountain is moving.
At the center of the tentacle is an octopus wearing a golden crown and looking down into the space of nothingness with grim eyes.
No, it’s a demon in the shape of an octopus.
“My God….”
Chairman Woods sighed in agony. It was Chairperson Jody Woods who had seen everything he could not see in nearly a hundred years, but this was the first time.
Looks like something out of a cruel fairy tale and a presence that transcends reason.
The moment I saw it, my only thought was to give up.
Can’t win.
There’s no way I can beat something like that.
A huge natural disaster beyond human control appeared in front of us in the form of an octopus.
Everyone, including Chairman Woods, stopped thinking at the overwhelming presence that made the absurd words of the 10th circle feel true. Only the emotion of fear flows like instinct.
-You immature by-products. The playing house of insulting magic ends here.
Its tentacles rise up into the sky. What flows through the tentacles is black mana.
An unprecedented power that even Ralph Leoris or Blicky Syndio, who performed the analysis of the outsider difficulty, could not measure, was felt from the powerfully extended tentacles. What appeared next was a huge magic circle.
“What format is that?”
It was the scholar’s occupational disease that sparked curiosity about magic even at this moment.
Ralph saw the magic circle summoned by Akmana. All sorts of spells that were difficult to analyze even for him were tangled like weft and warp threads. Even if you weave incantations in such a form, does magic manifest?
Its scale is already beyond magic and looks like a huge city.
At first glance, it looks like a graffiti drawn carelessly by a non-magical ignorant.
However, the opponent is a demon with transcendent magical powers.
There’s no way that the magic circle of such an existence is something like graffiti.
-Flow backwards.
Akhmana’s incantation that flowed out like a demon resounds. Then something happened that shouldn’t have happened.
The flames rise upside down, and the blades of the wind fly in the opposite direction.
Innumerable magics appeared in the center of Akmana as if they were regenerating, and numerous monsters that had been defeated in the previous battle reappeared.
Just by looking at the sight, it was not difficult to see what kind of miracle Akmana’s spell had caused.
Time retrograde.
Akmana achieved what is called the dream of all magic in the state of incomplete advent.
Took!
From noble mtl dot com
Tuchon Faerun knelt down. It was only natural that the reason guarded by the supreme wizard’s pride would fly away.
I know because it’s the same wizard. How nonsensical that is.
If only, very if.
Even if you step on the 10th circle, can you use that magic like that being?
Duchon Faerun knew the answer to that question. The answer was ‘impossible’.
“It’s over! It’s all over!”
“Sir Faerun!”
Chairman Woods tried to cheer him up. But he, too, did not let go easily.
What is the use of encouragement?
If you put a monster like that in front of you, the result will be the same anyway.
Rather, wouldn’t it be better to learn even a little more about that miraculous magic?
As I was thinking about that, Akmana, the master of evil wisdom and a loyal servant of Angra Mainyu, spoke to me.
-Do you want wisdom?
The tongue of the viper is moving. Ask after confirming your power by showing it with overwhelming magic. Do you want to be like this
-Do you want to taste the piece of truth that you lacking beings do not have?
Gulp-!
Desperate Duchon Faerun raised his head. Shocked, Blicky Syndio also raised his head. Chairman Woods stared at Akmana with the expression of having swallowed bitter pills, and Professor Organ opened his ears to his thoughts while stroking the crystal ball.
I have no choice anyway. The only thing left for them is death.
However, in front of such a cliff of despair, a rope came down. It is said that you can get it by holding the rope. Realization towards the truth that cannot be seen even in dreams.
A situation where conflict cannot be avoided.
The persuasion that Akmana has seduced numerous wizards in the long history of the continent was usually this form. Truly devilish persuasion!
-I will lead your lost sheep. Make a contract My truth will embrace you.
“Contract… !”
Duchon Faerune stretched out his hand towards Akmana.
Who said that?
Crisis is a dangerous opportunity.
Then, how can we turn this crisis into an opportunity?
It’s definitely related to that being-
“I refuse.”
A calm voice resonates in the empty space. An answer came out that no one expected.
The protagonist who answered Akmana’s irresistible offer was Ralph Leoris. What’s more, the content is a stubborn refusal.
-You are young and young. Do you know what you mean?
“I know.”
-My wisdom is infinite, but my mercy is finite.
“If I die, I will die as a human being. Even if I live, I will live as a human.”
His red hair, burning like a flame, flew vigorously. What comes to mind at this moment is the image of my daughter.
Seeing his proud daughter Sarah smile shyly gave Ralph hope.
“Akhmana, the evil demon of wisdom! Your strength and wisdom may bring down this Ralph Leoris, but your wicked will will not tarnish my integrity!”
Wheein!
Boiled mana.
The mana that rose up with his exasperated voice covered the surroundings. Ralph, the strongest in recovery magic, used all his saved power to bolster the will of his comrades.
“Is that the back of a great aristocrat? Haa, as an elder, you showed an embarrassing appearance.”
Chairman Woods regains his will to fight.
“I will support you with all my might. The star in my heart is speaking. Our destiny does not end here.”
The organ professor was also freed from fear.
“Sir Ralph. We used to be a pretty good pair. However, this project will be formidable.”
Blicky Syndio also came to his senses.
“…You almost betrayed humanity.”
The last one to come to his senses was Duchon Faerun.
-I’m sorry for you guys. He said, ignorance is guilty.
“All ready for battle!”
-You guys will die here.
Gooooo!
A different kind of magic circle from the previous one appears at the tip of Akmana’s tentacle. Although the form is different, its complexity is similar to the previous magic circle that turned back time. It is impossible to decipher the magic circle.
You must see the manifestation of magic and deal with it.
“Hyper Barrier!”
What Ralph developed was the highest level of defense magic. In addition, Jody Woods, Blicky Syndio, and Duchon Faerun add strength.
Ugh!
“Added Destiny Power! Even if it’s a dragon breath, this defensive magic will stop it once!”
Professor Organ also contributed. However.
Guuu-!
What was created from the huge magic circle was a huge hall. A large hole that collapses the space begins to suck in the surroundings.
Kikikikit!?
Many monsters that have been resurrected by reversing time are sucked into the hole.
It was the part that let us know that the previous magic was a show prepared to dazzle the party. Or maybe it was the confidence that he could face the five archmages without the help of bug-like monsters.
‘At this rate, defensive magic is useless!’
The opponent’s magic is absorbed, not hit.
I forgot the meaning of the Hyper Barrier that was coated with magic resistance.
I tried to resist the suction power of the hole by exploding mana, but to no avail. It’s obvious what will happen if you get sucked into that hole.
I shouted that I would fight bravely, but the battle situation was lightly tilted by Akmana’s magic.
I actually knew. No matter how hard you try, you can’t win against that being.
Not only Ralph knew it, but everyone else knew it. They just wanted to show off. To the demon called Akmana, human struggle.
‘I can’t even struggle with this.’
A dejected laugh came out. Still, since he overcame the devil’s temptation and burned his will to fight, wouldn’t he be a father who would be ashamed to see his daughter?
‘Come to think of it, what will become of my daughter Sarah?’
She too was caught up in this magic circle. And Viet too.
She is not afraid of her own death. However, the deaths of his daughter Sara and her brother Viet scared him too.
“Are there any miracles?”
If a miracle happens.
If the Lord who overlooks the continent finds this shade.
Can Sarah and Viette survive safely?
Ralph closed his eyes. He closed his eyes and prayed.
“My God. Please give me a miracle.”
“Your order has been received.”
Surprisingly, there was a voice that responded to the miracle.
“!?”
I opened my eyes. A tattered robe flies in front of him. The grove’s hero turns his head towards himself.
I saw the rough mask covering the face of Lovin. A mask you could buy at any general store.
Looking like an angel no matter how you look at it, he said, firing his pistol at Ralph.
“It was close.”
Mecca turned the hand pistol to Akmana as it was. To be precise, towards the magic circle of Akmana.
“Bread.”
The bullets of mana released from the tips of his fingers pierced the black hole of Akmana, tearing through the space of darkness.
