148 – Elves and Dark Elves – 13
A purple light covers the entire battlefield.
In the Central Continent, the powerful enough to be treated as strong shrank their bodies at the same time.
The quality and quantity of mana is so great that it is doubtful whether a mere mortal can produce it.
In addition, the purple mana that suddenly appeared had a sense of intimidation for no reason, so everyone around them had no choice but to stop.
“…It would have been dangerous if it had been a little late.”
After that time passed, the purple color disappeared.
It was revealed that I was resonating with Mana while standing in front of Emilia.
“… Gaon?”
“Ah… It’s heavier than I thought…”
“What are you doing now? The protection magic has already been applied…”
“You can’t even last 0.1 Second of that attack with that b*tch.”
“What..?”

After blocking Cliff’s attack, I rubbed my shoulders with my hands and sighed.
Cliff’s attack just now was a super-death spell made with chaotic mana. It was actually a type of magic that compressed and compressed the mana of chaos that was sinister and dangerous and shot it in the form of a laser.
You’re going to hit that kind of magic with intermediate wind magic? You have to sound sensible. It would have broken as soon as it touched it.
Of course, from Emilia’s point of view, she calculated the mana and used the shield, but the mana used by Cliff should not be thought of in terms of chaotic mana or common mana.
“Get out of the way, and get rid of the takkari away.”
“What are you talking about…. We’ve already dealt with most of the Dark Elf troops, and if we take down Cliff with a pincer attack…”
“Even if there are tens of thousands of mediocre kids, they won’t help you, so just get rid of them. You are included, and there will still be many elite troops left in the base, so organize them there.”
“I can’t…”
“Didn’t you hear what your mother said? I’m going to fight Cliff?”
As long as there is information that the opponent has a predation-related ability, there is a high probability that the number will be poisonous.
Besides, if Cliff was as strong as Beragee, numerical superiority would be useless.
At this point, it is the right choice for me to take charge alone. Although Emilia is level 88, she has to command an army of elves, and if she is like a saint, she is an rpg orthodox healer (literally no offensive ability, only buff-type abilities), so it won’t help.
“You feel it too. That guy named Cliff is stronger than I thought.”
“……Okay. Then, bypass the army and enter the base of Elderheim.”
Emilia quietly nodded her head with her face stiffened as if she sensed the sincerity in my voice.
Then, she glanced at me as she gave orders to her men to detour.
“Can you win?”
“Absolutely not.”
Of course, this belief was only possible because of Veronica’s insurance, but it’s not a lie…
“Okay. Make me believe it.”
After those words, Emilia approached her saintess and shared her story. She seems to be trying to explain her plan to enter the stronghold of Elderheim.
“…Who are you? Is that the human guy Volve said?”
“What do you know who I am?”
I’m sure you’re wearing a hooded cape, but you know exactly that you’re human, do you have search-related abilities?
Or maybe the Volv I just met had it.
“Ohhh… It has quite a powerful aura.”
“Two! ‘Hoo’ is sh*t. I don’t like the way you talk.”
“…What a cheeky man. Don’t you know how precious your life is?”
“I’m tired of that pattern now.”
Surereung…
As he began injecting mana into the amplification sword, Cliff’s face hardened.
I must have realized that the sword I possess is no ordinary weapon.
“A nuisance… even if a bug runs amok, it’s still a bug…”
“You know how many f*cking people die from those bugs, right? Isn’t that malaria?”
“Skinny…What?”
Before Cliff could finish his words, he immediately swung his sword of amplification and fired the sword at Cliff.
The sword filled with void mana and the flames of Suzaku flew towards Cliff with red and purple lights floating, and Cliff lightly waved his hand with a surprised look on his face.
Now then.
Ting-!
“f*ck?”
The sword energy bounced off.
Apparently, he swung at Cliff, but as soon as Cliff lightly shook his hand, it changed its trajectory and disappeared far into the sky.
“…Strange and strange mana. How the hell did you get this mana?”
“…Because it’s a trade secret.”
“All right. You’ll find out if you subdue them anyway and eat their memories.”
However, the strangest thing is that Cliff seemed to know nothing about void mana while using chaos mana.
So far, both Horn Flame and Berage, who used chaotic mana, knew about void mana, but isn’t it a little strange that only Cliff doesn’t know about it?
-…I see.
‘What’s wrong?’
-..No, I was just thinking about it.
Veronica seems to have noticed something, but she won’t tell me anyway. As always.
I didn’t expect it anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
For now, the first step is to subdue or kill that Cliff.
‘If you look at the energy you feel, you’re lower than Berazie…’
You can’t know everything just by looking at the outside. There must be things like the number of hidden secrets.
The most dangerous thing is, of course, divine magic. Veronica also said that she should be most careful with divine magic, so she should be vigilant enough.
“You don’t think you can block the next attack just by blocking it once, do you?”
“Oops, I know exactly.”
“…So arrogant, I want to split your head off and chew on your brain right now.”
Cliff held out his palm again.
When I attacked Emilia, I shot something like a laser from her palm. It seems that he is probably trying to use a similar kind of magic.
“Eat it.”
“?!”
In an instant, snakes coated with pitch-black mana sprang from Cliff’s hand and charged at me.
‘What?!’
I thought he would use a similar magic, but it’s a snake. Even now, the aura I feel is not the mana of chaos…
‘That’s Maggie!’
“Typhoon!”
Wheeying-!
Fortunately, I was able to shake off all the snakes painted in pitch black by momentarily exercising my wits and using a typhoon.
I was worried that they would attack again after the typhoon cast, but luckily the snakes turned to ashes as soon as they hit the ground and disappeared.
Anyway, that’s not the point right now…
‘The one I just used was Magi, isn’t it..?’
-…That’s ridiculous. It was impossible to use magic while using chaotic mana.
Magi.
It is literally the energy of demons, and it is the mana that Aloken, who was a demon, used.
There are a total of 3 conditions for using magic.
First, if the race is a demon.
If you have even a little bit of demon blood, you will be able to use magic without too much difficulty.
Second, like me, acquire demonic abilities with predation-related abilities.
As a result of killing Alokhen and absorbing the corpse with [Baal Zebub], I was able to acquire the ability to manipulate demons. Of course, I’ve never used it because it’s void mana backwards compatible.
And the long-awaited third.
That must be the devil’s contractor.
A contractor who made a contract with the devil can receive the ability to use demonic energy from the devil. Depending on the contracted devil’s power or the amount of lending, the strength will vary widely, but the important thing is that you can use magic.
That means Cliff, who uses magic, is one of these three…
“…Are you half devil?”
“Hmm? Do you know about Magi? You mentioned demons, so you must know. I am more and more curious about the brain embedded in that head.”
“Couldn’t it be that the skin is slightly darker than the devil’s blood…”
-…I can’t believe that. They’re just dark elves with darker skin.
“Ah…”
I was congratulating myself that it was a well-founded idea, but Veronica’s telepathy broke that belief.
Yeah, I can’t say that I’m half-demon, just because my skin is a bit darker. If he had been mixed with devil’s blood before that, he wouldn’t have been that handsome.
As expected, is that the second time?
Predation ability.
But even this predatory ability has obvious limitations.
That means you have to hunt down and absorb demons.
Veronica says that there are very few demons left in the real world. And even those very few aren’t the 72 greatest demons like Alokhen, so they secretly hide to avoid being subjugated.
It has already been over 10,000 years, and her analysis is that most of the remaining demons in the real world are probably dead. (Except for demons such as the Great Demon, demons also have a lifespan.)
Then there is only one thing left.
That Cliff is the devil’s contractor,
“…Did you sign a contract with the devil?”
“That is the correct answer. Mixed demon blood, I don’t want to mix the blood of such filthy guys.”
“Which demon did you contract with?”
“Okay. Maybe you’ll die before you know it?”
Shhh-!
Cliff gave a mocking smile and once again spewed a swarm of demonic-stained snakes.
But he didn’t even get hit by the first attack, so I wasn’t the one who would take damage from the second one. He immediately fell into trouble, using a protective shield to block the snakes.
‘An enemy that uses chaotic mana and magic together, why the f*ck did that kind of hybrid appear?! Veronica, don’t you know anything?’
-……I don’t think so…
“What the f*ck!”
It’s okay I’m an idiot for asking Veronica.
Yeah, actually, how about using chaotic mana and magic together? Anyway, I use void mana, which is the higher compatibility of the two. Just press down with force and it will stop.
“The wind in the green hills.”
At the same time as the ring I received as a gift from Freesia was shining, a warm and cool wind began to blow.
The wind in the green hills.
A magic that heals and blesses allies and inflicts debuffs and damage to enemies.
The mana consumption was quite severe, but considering the effect, it wasn’t a bad business.
“…What the hell did you do?”
Look at this, wasn’t Cliff frowning for the first time?
I don’t know what kind of debuff he received that made his expression look so rotten… But one thing is for sure.
[Blue Hill Wind]
– All stats increase by 1.2 Times.
-300% Increase in mana recovery rate
-Health recovery rate increased by 200%
The effect of the wind on the green hill is greater than I thought.
The fact that I received this level of buff means that Cliff received the opposite curse, but even if I were like him, I would have a rotten expression.
If a 20% decrease in all stats and a decrease in health and mana recovery rate are cursed… Oh, I hate to imagine.
“Isn’t divine magic…Or ancient magic?”
“You’re quite quick-witted, aren’t you? But don’t you have a little facial expression? It’s just so rotten. For a moment, I thought it was food waste.”
“……”
Cliff’s eyes grew more and more bloody. It seems that he is genuinely angry.
‘A person from another world, especially if provoked, gets beaten up.’
For me, a K-gamer, it’s just a greeting, but I guess it’s not for Cliff, a person from another world, who is praised as the king.
“…..I will definitely kill you.”
“People who have been beaten by me always say that before being beaten.”
At that moment, the purple mana and jet-black mana that erupted from Cliff and I began to fight each other and expand their territory.
