Chapter 125
“Nonsense! There’s no way you’ll notice!”
“You don’t have to believe me. You’re caught anyway. … … There.”
It was the moment when I felt a change in Emily’s presence, who had been talking softly.
“You were aiming for Xi’an a while ago, right?”
There’s no way he’ll confess, but he won’t be able to evade it either.
“You don’t have to answer.”
When Emily flicks her hand, heat rises from the Magi’s membrane that has bound Reirin.
If you put your mind to it, it wouldn’t be a task to turn demonic energy into flames and burn it to death.
It was also a moment when Raylin was determined.
“… … I said, but it’s a joke. I have no intention of going there.”
As Emily returns to her usual demeanor, the heat soon dissipates.
“What are you up to?”
“Even that, my sister doesn’t know. Xian asked for it over and over again. Don’t kill a rat that’s watching even by mistake.”
It’s an unintentional statement, but it’s definitely a provocation.
Raylin barely suppressed her anger and threw the biggest question that came to mind.
“What are you thinking? What the hell is your contractor up to!”
“Are you asking that? It’s amazing.”
Emily was genuinely bewildered.
“What do you want to say?”
“You’re doing just that. that girl… … And it was you who made Xian fly here.”
It was another person who directly executed it, but it was Rayleen or someone behind her who led it.
Raylin gritted her teeth and asked again.
“… … Is that what your contractor said?”
“I hadn’t heard of it until then. But even this unnie notices that much.”
“You are making a mistake.”
“who? Do you mean you who are miserably chained here?”
“Your contractor knows nothing!”
“Leave it there.”
Reirin, who was trying to say something, was blocked by the magic curtain that additionally wrapped around her mouth.
“Just remember this. A pitiful rat who only knows how to hide.”
An overtly contemptuous tone.
Seriously sorry for this servant, Emily’s eyes turned elsewhere.
Where there is a lot of commotion.
“It is you who do not know. Our Xian knows a lot more than you and the like, and seems to know how to do a lot.”
“… … !!”
Raylin’s eyes widened without making a sound.
“Look closely and understand.”
* * *
I understand all the principles of the setting of Elcia’s exclusive skill, Blood of the End.
“… … The principle of that skill was to interfere with mana and collapse the structure of matter.”
Think of it like this.
Anything touched by that skill is shattered into ashes. Regardless of the strength of the material or whatever.
“Did I have to fight with the premise of never reaching it?”
– Hands of Black Mud.
As a test, he summoned the demon’s arm composed of mud and attempted to capture it.
“Go away… … . Lyoleate’s obstruction.”
Elcia simply stretched out her hand and touched the spread aura, and the demonic mud disintegrated.
“Yes, it was a skill that inflicted damage regardless of the opponent’s defense value.”
If hit, it might be threatening.
That menacing power instantly collapses my black magic and extends it.
“Then avoid it.”
Activate Shadow Move.
After being entangled in the shadow, he quickly falls sideways, then jumps out of the shadow and fires two black flame bullets.
“How will you react to an attack from a blind spot?”
As the black snake coiling around Elsia turns and opens its mouth, the black flame is struck by the waves it emits and disappears.
“Your defense ability is solid, isn’t it?”
No surprise.
“Then keep focusing on blocking.”
I run around her in a circle.
Not to seduce.
The place where my hands can reach while running is on the floor and the wall.
Enchantment casting.
The black magic engraved in the magic circle created where I passed is immediately activated.
This is the first strategy for blackening Elsia.
“The priorities for the recognition of a gnome are those who use skills that consume mana, such as magic or aura.”
In short, it recognizes the creature’s mana fluctuations.
Even in the game, aggro is focused on the character who is preparing or using the skill at the very end.
Using that, the attack was surprisingly simple.
Of course, it’s impossible to attack like a game right now, so I respond in a different way, considering only the guy’s behavior pattern.
Elcia instinctively responds to the magic circle planted in all objects around her.
I release the magic of collapse and destroy the walls and floors of the magic circles I have laid in turn.
‘Still, it’s bloody… … .’
If I touch that light, there is a high possibility that if I am lucky, I will die or die instantly.
However, the risk of being hit was judged to be small.
In order to gauge that, he had previously provoked and fought Elcia to verify the difference in ability.
To find out if it’s a threat if we continue like this.
“Not a threat at all.”
Muttering arrogant words, I look for an opportunity.
Priority is focused only on destroying the enchantment that was placed earlier, so he doesn’t recognize me for killing the presence without casting any magic.
“At least the head of the Lyoleites… … . The old man should have used another method.”
It’s easy to attack if you know how.
I sneered at seeing her not recognizing me at all even after slowly reaching a few meters in front of Elcia while making appropriate footsteps.
Close the distance leisurely.
as far as my hand can reach.
“All that remains is to put an end to it.”
you already know how
In the game, most of the skills were not effective for Elsia in a state of congestion.
There are two main things that work.
One is divine power.
The first half of the Priest class’s divine power-related skills.
‘Actually, that’s the most effective, but… … . It’s a bit too risky to summon Alfine.’
It’s difficult to explain.
However, it was difficult because there was no reason for me to learn the skills of the Priest class.
From noble mtl dot com
So let’s write the second one.
In the game, for balance, there was an alternative plan for those who took a class that couldn’t acquire divine power.
‘Black magic system. Among them, necromancy.’
According to the setting, the wedge of the Lyole family who controls Elcia is said to have been processed using the spirit.
In short, the black snake that has now taken control of Elsia is the spirit itself.
To put it in an analogy, it’s like being possessed by a demon.
“Then, the black magician’s skill is enough to be effective.”
Above all, isn’t this more professional?
I took out two bottles from my waist belt and threw them.
It’s not a potion bottle.
A bottle in which something like purple mist is trapped.
“It’s a bottle that stores the spirit.”
A black magician who has acquired necromancy can collect and store a certain amount of spirits.
That means I can save up to three.
Well, it’s not like the necromancer experts can do a lot.
Consume this to restore physical strength or magic power, or.
“Do a simple attack.”
The commander’s bottle, which was flying in a parabolic line toward Elcia, who still did not recognize this side, broke.
The purple mist instantly turns into flames and burns.
-wisp.
A skill that consumes spirits to inflict fire damage and a slight curse effect.
Two flying purple fireballs cling to the black snake coiling around Elsia.
Roaring!
As if it only works for that black snake, the guy struggles.
“Fortunately, it works.”
Only after taking damage did he recognize me.
But it’s already too late.
I tossed another bottle to create a demon fire and dealt damage again to draw the guy’s aggro.
“Is this enough to make you weak?”
It is not difficult to win if you choose only effective attacks and drag them into a war of attrition.
But that alone is worth it.
“I’m having a hard time, so shouldn’t I bring some souvenirs?”
I stretched out my hand toward the aura of the snake struggling with successive effective blows.
grabbed it as is.
According to the setting, it was presumed to have been made using the black magic of the spirit system.
“Then, if you use a similar theory, you can rob it, right?”
You need to try it out.
Even if it fails, it is enough to destroy it without regret and free Elcia.
There is nothing to lose either way.
“come.”
It gives more strength to the gripped hand.
It’s not like it’s meaningful to physically apply grip force.
The only thing that was applied to the end was the density of demonic energy concentrated in the grip.
And through it, it interferes with the wedge controlling Elcia, that is, the spirit that is the essence of the creature.
《I activate Command Capture.》
I was anxious about whether it would be possible with my skill proficiency, but it seems there was no need to worry too much.
The captured black snake cannot even resist.
completely suppressed
Like a fish crushed by the gills.
took full control
then.
“come out. Kkondae. I’m not bullying the kids.”
Take over and forcibly separate as it is.
Lyoleate’s wedge.
A means of education by the head of the Lyoleate family to forcibly control the still immature descendants and infect them with the family’s ideology.
One of the obstacles in the Elcia attack route.
“Kids these days don’t need this.”
forcibly remove it
《Acquire the wedge of evil.》
What is removed is stored in a special bottle with a sealed seal that cuts off magical power.
According to the knowledge we grasp, this might be able to be used as an appropriate material item depending on future processing.
“This should be enough to take care of the occasion in moderation… … .”
What remains is Elcia in a state where this is separated.
There is no answer.
The separated effect has not come out properly yet.
Elsia, who had been staggering, sat down as it were.
“At least on the surface, nothing seems to be wrong.”
Just in case, let Emily take a good look at it.
“… … With this, a flag was drawn.”
Root out the source of annoying incidents in Elcia.
I snorted as I calculated what would happen and what would not happen.
don’t know anything else
“I’ll stop doing one annoying thing.”
* * *
If I keep engrossed, will you wake me up with a slap? While seriously considering it, Elcia suddenly raised her head and looked around.
“What?! what… … what! draft! what the hell are you… … .”
“Do you remember roughly?”
As far as I know, Elcia in that state was not completely unconscious.
Roughly, it was described as a sense of observing what is happening far away.
“… … What did you do?”
“solve.”
I answered briefly.
“Contrary to Elcia’s will, that power won’t run wild.”
“No way… … .”
“If you don’t believe me, take the time to verify it. I’m not asking you to believe me right away.”
Originally, it is a situation that can be solved only by advancing the story a little more and finding and challenging the answer together with the main character.
It’s like they forcibly pulled it out of the spot and fixed the problem.
“… … I get it. We’ll talk about that at another opportunity later. Before that, please answer one thing clearly.”
“I have a lot of questions. What?”
“then… … Aren’t you betrayed?”
“Have you ever betrayed yourself or been in a relationship?”
“draft!”
“… … I’m kidding. I just pretended to be okay. I thought that was sure to figure out your problem.”
It would be unreasonable to say that it is easy to believe.
She didn’t show it, but Elcia was wary right now.
It seems that just a moment ago, he was seriously determined to die at my hands.
“Ah, should I say sorry first?”
“Is this going to be an apology! I really thought I was going to die!”
However, the reason why I couldn’t get angry or question more was probably because the current situation was confusing.
There is someone who is sick.
But a child who can’t even go to the dentist because he’s scared.
But what if he didn’t say anything, but someone came and opened his mouth on his own and took it out?
‘… … I don’t know who you are, but you’re crazy.’
But that’s me.
This is not going to be a good judgement.
You will have to spend time thinking about it and talking to it again.
‘Or it doesn’t matter if they split as is.’
Even now, Elcia is conflicted by looking elsewhere after glancing at me.
It’s okay if you don’t run away from this place right now.
“Let’s go out for now. Wouldn’t it be better to go back and think about it?”
“That, yes… … .”
Elcia nodded as if she wanted to leave this place quickly.
“Once you get out, you won’t even need a guide. You’ll probably see the road leading out of the forest soon… … . What are you doing? It doesn’t happen.”
But for some reason, Elcia doesn’t show any signs of waking up.
Could there be anything else?
“What are you doing?”
“never mind! it will happen! okay! … … Mmm.”
ah… … .
There was no way I wouldn’t have noticed.
“Is that it? Aren’t you strong?”
“How could that be! There is only something to think about!”
The aftermath of forcibly releasing the wedge of the Lyole family that had been holding her a while ago.
Of course I should have thought that there would be some side effects.
“Shall I pick you up?”
“Stop the bullsh*t! What would you think if someone saw that!”
“… … It’s tricky. Then get up quickly.”
I sighed and held out my hand instead.
After hesitating for a moment to see if it was okay, Elcia held my hand and barely stood up.
Well, this should be fine for now.
