78 – The Trial of Nothingness – 9
“If that’s the case, why did you come in? It’s just dog death.”
It’s been over 30 minutes since I started following Buren. There were overflowing monsters trying to prey on Buren, but before he noticed, I quickly took care of them using [Psychokinesis].
Although he and I were strangers, he was related to Illyana, so it was a little too much to just let him die.
“[Psychokinesis].”
Kwajik-!
Does Buren know? He knows that the reason he can comfortably roam the forest now is because of me.
When I was young, I watched cartoons of heroes hiding their identities and thought, ‘Why are they hiding their powers?’
“Kufu…Fuuu…”
“Oh, it’s hard to hold and use Illyana.”
FYI, I was currently lifting Illyana, who was soundly asleep, into the air with [Psychokinesis].
Veronica asked (ordered) to take her Illyana to her city, but I couldn’t just throw her on the street without knowing her address.
Furthermore, if Illyana had been left behind in the city, Buren would have been eaten and died during that time.
So I decided to go after Buren with Illyana… It’s harder to control than I thought, and the mana consumption is no joke.
Originally, this was possible because the [Psychokinesis] Ability itself was more mana-consuming to use on living things than on inanimate objects.
“Ha ha… Ha… Illyana!! Where are you!!”
Buren looked for her, calling her Illyana’s name with her pale complexion.
If I screamed like that, the wound would open and it would be very painful…
As a side note, Illiana is currently in a state of mute magic, so no matter how much Buren calls, she won’t wake up.
“What should I do with that… I think it would be a bit difficult to step out recklessly.”
If I appeared in front of Buren and said, “Illyana is here, take it!”, They would probably suspect me as the kidnapper with a 100% chance.
Then the best way is to just send Buren back to the city… The problem is that I didn’t have any abilities that were suitable for the current situation.
Most of the magic that could be used was unnecessarily strong firepower that destroyed or annihilated something, and none of the unique abilities were adequate.
I wish I could use sleep magic like Veronica did, but there was no such convenient magic for me.
“Hmm…”
For now, let’s just keep watching. The wound looks deep anyway, but if you go around like that, you will surely collapse someday. Then you can go and move to [Psychokinesis] Then.
“This…Illyana…! Where are you…!”
From noble mtl dot com
As I expected, after calling Illyana’s name for a while, Buren started to slow down as if she was getting weaker and weaker.
Looking at the red blood oozing from the bandaged wound, it seemed that the wound had opened quite severely.
‘I’m going to collapse soon…Then prepare to move…’
Because I thought that Buren would soon fall, I thought of moving him back to Boreas.
If it weren’t for a man who suddenly appeared in front of Buren.”
“Ha ha… Ha… Da… Who are you…”
“Are you the same guy as he was earlier?”
The man’s height was about 190, and he looked very tall, and his body was very slender, like a woman’s.
Mysteriously, the man was wearing high-quality clothes that didn’t suit the place at all, and something ominous mana was rising around him, albeit insignificantly.
‘..What is that man? The amount of mana I feel is terrible…’
As I watched all of this from above, I had a question about the man who suddenly appeared.
It’s strange that he looked so fine while walking around the forest at this time, but he didn’t even feel the mana that a creature should have.
Actually, this amount of mana would be worse than that of a child…
‘…But Mana seems a bit familiar…?’
However, there was something familiar about the mana from the mana.
It’s not void mana, it’s not abyss mana, it’s not normal mana, it’s very familiar and ominous mana.
“You’re making a lot of effort…”
“Ha ha… Ha… Ho… Have you ever seen… A woman with gray hair?”
“Ashy hair… Are you talking about Illyana?”
“Uh…How did you get Illyana’s name…Do you know where she is?!”
“I don’t know where it is… I’ll find it soon.”
The man continued with a bizarre smile.
“I’m going to kill you like you.”
“?!”
At that moment, the man’s hand flew towards Buren’s heart.
“Huh?!”
“..How did you avoid it?”
Thankfully, however, the man’s hand penetrated her shoulder, not Buren’s heart, and Buren sat down as if her shoulder blade had been harpooned, and let out a moan as if in pain.
‘What the f*ck is that bastard doing?’
Of course, Buren, who was deeply wounded, couldn’t react to the man’s quick attack.
The reason why Buren was able to avoid her fatal wounds by avoiding her male attack was entirely because I forcibly moved her Buren using her telekinesis.
If I had reacted a little late, Buren would not have been of this world.
‘[Emotion].’
[LV 94 Belagee]
Stamina: ?/?
Mana: ?/?
Status: None
Looking at the energy you can feel, you’re weaker than children, but in reality you’re a level 94 monster?
It seems that he used some special ability to hide his mana presence.
“Hmm…Is it just a coincidence?”
“Why are you suddenly attacking…!”
“…That look in your eyes full of hostility…I really don’t like it…”
The man by the name of Vera Jie frowned and began to collect a lot of mana in the palm of his hand.
“..Chaos mana..?”
As I watched Beragee collect mana, I realized that the ominous aura that I felt faintly from him was the mana of chaos.
Come to think of it, Veronica says that the orc who died earlier was killed by a chaotic being… Could it be related to that guy?
“I’ll blow your head off with the pupils.”
The moment I tried to place my palm full of chaotic mana on Buren’s forehead, I used [Psychokinesis] Again and forced Buren to move backwards.
It was an inevitable decision because if Buren died while trying to hide his identity, it would be a joke.
“….It’s not that responsive, it looks like there’s one more rat.”
As expected, Berazie wasn’t stupid enough to be tricked this time.
Before that, even an idiot could not help but notice that he was openly using his abilities like this.
“Does he have stealth abilities?”
Vera Jier frowned and started looking for the place where the mana was generated by using his ability.
But since I had already changed my location, there was no risk of getting caught.
“..Don’t hide like a rat. Come out right away. Otherwise, I’ll destroy this area.”
‘Will you come out like that?’
If you don’t come out, will you destroy this area? Rather, it was an action that benefited me.
Berazie’s level as seen through [Emotion] Was 94, and it was true that he was a strong man who could not be reached by my standards.
But what about Veronica?
Her level is the same, but Veronica’s strength was so overwhelming that it didn’t seem like she would lose.
If Vera Jie goes on a rampage with her, she will be visited by Veronica, and then the situation will quickly turn around.
“You mean you won’t come out…”
Vera Jier looked around the forest full of stillness and this time began to pour chaotic mana into her hands.
“It’s a pity to miss the chance to die in peace…”
The moment Berazie slammed the Chaos Mana from both hands onto the ground.
A tremendous energy began to surge.
“Big?!”
‘Wait…! This isn’t just chaos mana…!’
Honestly, I was confident that I could withstand any attack because I had [Chaos Resistance] And [Purity], But after receiving Beragee’s first attack, I thought about it.
In Beragee’s magic, not only Chaos Mana, but also a new type of Mana that I have never felt before was fused.
It is ominous and unpleasant enough to be comparable to chaos mana, but it seems that the root itself is different from chaos mana…
“Doesn’t it come out after all this?”
‘f*ck..!’
Of course, Illyana and Buren couldn’t withstand Beragee’s wide-range attack for even a second, so I had to use all my shield magic for Illyana and Buren.
“If you want to play hide-and-seek with me, I’ll gladly agree…But the price…Is your life.”
***
“…Is that what he did?”
At the entrance to the rocky mountain, Veronica, a black-haired beauty, frowned as she checked her mana mixed in the air.
‘Mana is mixed with chaotic mana…And this is…’
The mana mixed in the air had a total of two properties.
One is chaotic mana that exudes an ominous aura, and the second is…
‘Death period…’
Death period, a word that literally means the energy of death.
As the mana used by demons is called magic, the mana used by the dead, that is, the undead, is called death.
‘As far as I know, there must be only one person who can use these two energies at the same time…’
A dangerous figure who handles the undead, who are dead as well as high-ranking beings of chaos.
“Berazie…”
The worst disaster that had destroyed many countries in the past was aiming for the empire this time.
