95 – The Trial of Nothingness – 26
Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo…
The amount of mana increases like crazy. It’s the first time I’ve felt this way. Even when he met the fragments of the void, when he faced Emperor Grace, even when he first met Veronica… He had never felt such a strong feeling.
“Why…You…!”
“……”
I don’t know why the name ‘Batory Erzebet’ is added next to her name, but one thing is for sure, at least the current Illyana is different from the girl I know.
A mature Illyana who looks like she is at least 10 years older. The level is the f*ck, why is it 100 again? I’ve never seen a 3 digit level before…
Koo-goo-gu-gung!!!!
“Grrr?!”
“Crazy..! What?!”
At that moment, when Illiana in mature mode lightly waved her hand, her perception was twisted, and the undead monsters surrounding her and me were driven underground at once.
In the meantime, Illyana in mature mode manipulated mana very elaborately, showing the skill of distorting her perception of only the place where the undead monsters were standing without touching the part where Gurush and I were standing.
It’s a skill that even I, who has [Psychokinesis], Can’t do, but he only manipulates mana and does that… How freaky are you…?
“……”
“Kuh…!”
Vera Jier mature mode As Illyana turned her head towards him, her body trembled and gritted her teeth.
“……”
“Damn it..!”
Ah, that bastard is running away!
Sometimes after shouting ‘I’ll kill them all!’ But it seems like it was me too…
“……”
At that moment, Illyana, who was still expressionless, quietly reached out her hand.
Then he collected a huge amount of mana that was proud of its majesty with a blue light around it, and spewed it out as it was.
In the direction of Berazie.
“?!”
From noble mtl dot com
Koo-gu-gu-gu-!!!!!!
It was a bluish thunder.
The normal mana gathered and condensed, and now blue mana crystals, which can only be seen unless you are blind, covered Berazie like thunder.
“Crazy…”
“Grr..Mu…Scary…”
Pusssss….
In the place where the blue thunder passed, there were only scorched marks, and no living beings could be found.
Berazie, who was like a monster at level 94, was also not much different from just a handful of dust in front of this blue thunder.
“…Are you dead?”
The mark of the [Grim Reaper] Appeared for a moment and then disappeared… Could it be that it died too quickly?
It’s not magic, it’s just a normal mana release to instantly kill Berazie… What the hell is Illyana’s true identity…?
Veronica seems to know something about this… But I can’t ask any questions because Veronica isn’t there right now.
“That…Grr! He’s looking at us..!”
“..I know, please shut up.”
Looking at it now, Illyana, the one who sent Berazie to the underworld in an instant, is looking this way. No, it would be more accurate to say that he was looking at me.
Why are you staring at me scaredly? Are you trying to kill me too? No, if that was the case, I would have wiped it out with the undead a long time ago.
“……”
‘Why aren’t you talking..?’
But why are you so f*cking uneasy? Her face is also expressionless, so I have no idea what she’s thinking.
“…Ah…”
“..Ah?”
“……”
…? What were you trying to say? I must have moved my lips several times, but in reality, nothing came out except for the sound of ‘Ah..’.
Aren’t the words coming out? Maybe it means something specific.
“…….”
‘Ah… That’s f*cking frustrating..’
In my heart, I wanted to shout “No, should I say something?” Right away, but I thought that if I did that to Illyana, who was giving off mana like that, I would end up like Berage, so I decided to just shut up.
“…Ah..”
“…?”
At that moment, Illyana’s body began to lean and she fell completely to the floor.
At the same time, her Illyana and the strong mana storm that had been protecting her like her bodyguard completely faded and disappeared.
“Illyana!”
As soon as Claudia saw Illyana fall, she got up from her seat and ran towards Illyana, and I had no choice but to stand in my seat for a while in a dazed state.
“…What the f*ck is that?”
Mature Mode Illyana, an archmage who can kill with just a light wave of the Beragee. No, to be precise, Bathory Elizabeth.
Obviously, when seen through [Emotion], The word ‘possessed’ was written on Illyana’s condition.
That means we can’t rule out the possibility that Illyana who killed Berazie might not be the real girl…
Whatever…
‘Wouldn’t it be nice if I lived?’
You live like this today…
..But what happened to Veronica?
***
Koo-gu-gu-gu-!!!
-……
“Why? You seem a little bewildered.”
-How come that much power…
“Soon, this world will collapse. Can you be so confident even then? If you run away now, at least I won’t catch you.”
-…….
About 30 minutes have passed since Veronica was trapped in the Underworld. The Underworld was almost half collapsed by her mana, and rifts connecting it to the real world began to form.
-…..Good. I admit my defeat. However, the situation in the real world will already be sorted out.
“..Is that so?”
-Do you still have hope? You’ve changed a lot. More in the past…
“I don’t want to talk about that corny thing.”
Awesome-!!!
-..You are ignorant. To use force to hasten the collapse…
“It’s just a slight indication that you don’t want to talk to me anymore.”
The collapse of the underworld is accelerating. Considering the speed, the world would probably collapse completely in about a minute.
-Then let’s go. I hope you despair of the reality you will soon face.
“…Still the guy I don’t like.”
Wow!
The mysterious being handed Veronica her last words and disappeared somewhere, giving up her underworld.
I might be able to catch him if I follow his trail right now, but that didn’t matter to Veronica right now.
“Grrr!! Human! A female I have never seen before has appeared!”
“Since I know you, shut up you bastard.”
Veronica laughed at the familiar voice behind her. It occurred to me that that smirking voice was very much the same in the past and now.
“Are you back?”
“That’s right. Sorry for being a little late.”
“You should have come sooner.”
“The smaller the bug, the longer it takes to catch it.”
“Don’t talk bullsh*t like a saying, look at that.”
“…?”
That…?
***
After waiting for a few more minutes after the situation was roughly over, Veronica appeared from a large crack that suddenly appeared.
Since it was the first time they had seen Veronica, Gurush and Claudia were momentarily surprised and took a combat stance, and I stopped them.
“Are you back?”
“That’s right. Sorry for being a little late.”
“You should have come sooner.”
“The smaller the bug, the longer it takes to catch it.”
It came out again. Veronica-style monopoly, f*cking bullsh*t like a saying. Normally, I would match the rhythm, but now there was something more urgent than that.
“Don’t talk bullsh*t like a saying, look at that.”
“…?”
At the place I pointed out, Illyana, who had returned to her original state before I knew it, was lying unconscious. She doesn’t feel the weird mana like before, but there are some traces left, so if Veronica sees it, she will definitely know what happened right away.
“Umm… This is…”
As expected, as I expected, Veronica approached Illyana as if she was interested and began to check every corner of her body.
After that, shortly after, I got up from my seat as if the inspection (?) Was over.
“It must have been heavenly luck.”
“Uh, I don’t know what it is, but she saved a life thanks to Illyana.”
“That’s fortunate… but I can tell roughly what you want from me just by looking at your eyes.”
Yeah, so why don’t you explain quickly?
“Is Bathory Erzebet or Bamtol the elevator… I f*cking can’t remember, I’ll give you a rough idea of it, so you know who it is, right?”
“I know. Very well.”
“Who are you?”
Veronica rested her chin on my question and closed her eyes as if she was contemplating something. But she can tell because for quite some time she was me attached to Veronica. That’s just a subtle expression of not wanting to answer.
“Hmm…that is a very difficult and profound question.”
“….You don’t want to answer honestly, do you?”
“How could that be?”
“Then tell me.”
“Ummm…”
Look. In the end, it’s the same flow again. When I ask, Veronica evades her answer by saying, “Oh, I don’t know.” I have to wake up for today.
“Don’t stare at me too much. I’ve been fighting hard, so my head is a little dizzy.”
“Where are you trying to escape? If you don’t answer, I’ll poop down your pants.”
“That doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Then, from next time on, I will put it on top of my shadow.”
“…….”
The other day, Veronica said that you can smell it even in the shadows.
“Haa…Okay, let’s do something with that gaze.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
Veronica let out a deep sigh and ended up raising her white flag.
Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve been like this. It’s because there’s no charm if people are clogged up.
“What is missing?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t forget that the king’s thoughts are all read.”
Yes.
“Okay…Then I’ll tell you. The existence of Bathory Erzebet.”
Veronica opened her mouth cautiously with her arms crossed as if recalling something of hers.
“Bathory Elizabeth… She is the second greatest wizard in the history of this world.”
“…She was the second greatest wizard?”
“Yes, she is a legendary sorceress who has made many achievements and created many epics.”
She is said to be the second strongest magic in history…… Certainly, seeing as she instantly killed Vera Jier with a simple mana release, she was quite understandable. It was rather surprising that it wasn’t the first.
“She is one of the greatest achievements in human history, and the greatest creator of magic.”
“…Greatest feat…Greatest magic…?”
“Yes.”
..What is that? Great achievements… Great magic…
“Bathory Erzebet… Is one of the three people who created the system and one of the two wizards who created reincarnation magic.”
***
To Veronica, the sorceress Bathory Erzebet was very meaningful.
-…What are you?
– I want to learn magic!
-Suddenly? And you… Aren’t you the chancellor’s daughter?
-Hello!
– How old are you?
-4 Years old!
-Please eat at least 16 years old.
– Eeng! I hate it! I want to learn magic! My father said you can learn magic if you come here!
-…Two ministers…Hmmm…Yeah, I guess your father misunderstood.
-No! I came to know that Elizabeth is the 2nd strongest magician! Second!
-Okay, can you not emphasize the second one?
-Then will you teach me magic?
– No.
From noble mtl dot com
-Pueeeng!!
-Don’t whine. Can’t be done I am a busy person.
-Lies! My father said that Elizabeth always plays!
-Hmmm… There are circumstances that cannot be said about that. It’s just that His Majesty asked me to do something else, so I’m just taking a break from work.
-I don’t know! I don’t know! Teach me magic! Pueeng!!
-…..
The teacher who taught Veronica magic for the first time, and the owner of the Mage Tower, the holy land of wizards, the Mage Tower Master Bathory Erzebet.
She was the object of admiration for all magicians and was revered as a god.
-Haa…Yes, I understand, so please stop.
-Really?
-Yes, but wouldn’t it be better to learn from His Majesty? Than me
-uuu…It’s embarrassing to tell His Majesty.
-…….
It was 20 years later.
Veronica became one of the top 10 wizards in the country.
