(EP.69) Casting Shadow # 5
069 – Shadows on the Arc #5
Passing through the narrow stone walled corridor, something worthy of being called a wide open space appeared.
A large vacant lot with thick pillars protruding up to the high ceiling.
Of course, there is no sunlight, and there are no torches or lanterns installed, so only darkness is rushing through the open space.
I never thought that there would be such a large open space in this old fortress, so I wondered what this place was for.
I smell oil.
“Aww-!”
At that moment, screaming, the monster attacked Elgar.
Of course, Elgar avoids the body that is rushing like a bull to the side, and inserts her knee into the man’s abdomen.
perk.
“-!”
Elgar said as he tapped the head of the man who had collapsed to the floor.
“Did we take down about fifteen or fifteen?”
“Because we said that there were twenty people in the class. Except for me and Mirna-sama, there could be about three more people here in the future. after-.”
I chose to breathe.
Dizzy and throbbing headaches make the head foggy like a fog.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I have used my spells about ten times, my magical limit was inevitably approaching. Still, it wasn’t all bad.
By using magic in real life, I became aware of the power and limitations of my magic.
My magic Pymon was kind of like a shotgun.
A shotgun made of air bullets.
A shotgun that increases in power as it gets closer and decreases as it gets further away.
Even if the imp’s tail wand weakens the power and increases stability, hitting it close doesn’t mean that it will break human bones and cause major damage to the internal organs.
If you hit something like that on your head, of course you’re going to die.
Even with the magic skill of a wizard who had only reached the second rank, it’s like this. If so, how was Angmar Demon King’s spell ‘Paymon’, who reached the 10th rank?
What were the heroes of your family who subdued such a demon king?
Anyway.
I shot the attack magic about ten times. It’s just my guess, but I feel like the next two chants are the limit.
Sounds like you’re almost out of mana o-rings.
I suffered a throbbing headache and wondered if this might have been my opponent’s goal.
Isn’t it the purpose of Professor Balan to invite us to such an advantageous place and consume it slowly?
It seems that the country also adopted the strategy of raiding the opponent tired of the continuous battle.
Of course, I was the only one who was tired, so Elgar and Mirna were quite energetic. After all, my level of actual combat is different.
Elgar said as she pulled out the Giant Halberd Crusher, a treasure of the Lioness family.
“So Mirna. Is this right? what do you feel? Let’s finish it quickly and have dinner.”
“It is here somewhere. I can feel my father’s energy somewhere here. You have to be careful.”
“Huh, that’s right. Hey, Tae. Can’t you use flash magic to light up the surroundings?”
“I can’t do that.”
“Twitter-.”
how do you do what you can’t
But I could do this.
slurp.
I kept my composure and listened to my surroundings.
Me and Tae-oh’s ears are twice as good as others.
So, if there is a sign that moves in this wide and quiet darkness, it is not a task to see through it.
Then I finally heard something growl in my ear.
-Bul’s Jack.
At the same time, we saw a huge, blazing fireball flying towards us.
“Fireball-!? Everyone get behind me!”
Elgar exclaimed as if surprised. Me and Mirna hid behind Elgar’s back.
Elgar raised his ax towards the watermelon-sized fireball that was flying towards us.
When you hit it with all your might, the fireball splits in half with the sound of something being cut by something sharp, causing a huge explosion from the left and right.
Bang, bang-!!!
Whoops-.
With that, the surrounding area became brighter in an instant. Could it have been the cause of the faint smell of oil?
Whoops-.
The blazing flames form a wall of flames as if drawing something.
I could see that it was some kind of magic circle or shaman circle.
Unknowingly, we were in the middle of the magic circle.
Dark shadows suddenly appeared toward us and began to approach us.
It was the dead like zombies and skeletons. Unlike the students of Ark whom I had met before, neither corruption nor living was a joke.
The moment he saw them, Mirna Draco trembled.
“uncle-. aunt.”
Elgar asks, pointing the giant halberd in all directions.
“Are you aware of the corpses?”
“The corpses of the Draco family. Looks like our grave has been dug up! It will be different from normal undead. Be careful!”
“ah-. This is why I hate Draco guys. Even in death you’re in trouble So Mirna. Any good way? Do I have to be surrounded and fight like this?”
“Way… .”
“I am confident enough to survive alone. My opponent isn’t so accommodating enough to protect you too.”
Elgar’s eyes were looking at something floating in the air. It was an undead black robe with white hair hanging down.
It was the high-ranking Lich Aleister.
-Itum kalli. Hur Bolt Jack.
hurricane.
Blue flames fluttered in the high lich’s bare hands. When I met him a few days ago, he had given me candy with that hand.
-Exack Skarrrrr… !
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now, a necromancer named Professor Balaan has lost control of it, and it has literally become a terminator-like tool for slaughtering the living.
“Honestly, I don’t know how to beat that. You look as strong as my dad.”
Elgar looked at Aleister and seemed to think of her father, Sir Reinhardt.
In fact, Reinhardt and Aleister were both rivals and siblings. Therefore, Elgar must have measured Aleister’s fighting power by estimating the skills of his father, Reinhardt.
“Hey, Draco. Does your dad have any weaknesses? If it’s a lich, there’s something like a life vessel. It’s like an ashes where the soul is hidden.”
“Aleister Draco is our family’s greatest masterpiece. There can be no such obvious weakness.”
“Then how am I supposed to knock it down? If I cut it out, won’t it still come alive?”
“If there is a weakness, it is the caster who is controlling it. Find Professor Balan. It’ll be here somewhere. In the meantime, I will try to regain control if possible.”
━Grooo!
Then the Draco family’s zombies began to attack us. They were very fast and agile, not like zombies.
“You want to find a professor you don’t even know here?”
Sureung, cha-a-ang!
Elgar wielded a giant halberd and cut the torso of the Draco family’s zombies in half. Each time the giant ax is swung, its arms and legs bounce in all directions, creating fragments of blood and corpses.
“Nothing!”
Eldritch Aleister mutters something to Elgar who shouts so confidently.
-Halo Dasi Tumb!
At the same time, the blue flame that fluttered in his hand burned even bigger. Whatever it was, it didn’t look very good.
But that movement stands tall.
-Grrrrr.
“Death is the beginning, not the end and rest.”
It’s probably because Mir and Draco chanting something like a prayer is working.
“As snakes and dragons shed their scales and skins, they are only the entrance to a new life and spiral. Said-.”
-Grrr… .
It was clear that she was trying to take control of her father.
“There is no end to the guinea pigs! Anything is fine, so do it quickly!”
Elgar is busy dealing with zombies coming from all directions.
“Therefore, if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, do not be afraid. I will seize the necks of demons weeping for you… .”
-Grrrrrrr… !
Mirna tries to control her father.
They both seemed very busy with their work.
If so, I am the only one who can find the body that is controlling them somewhere, Professor Balan.
“after-.”

As far as I know, a necromancer who calls on the undead must keep a certain distance from his minions.
If you get too far away from the dead, you lose control, and if you’re too close, there’s no reason to force your minions to fight instead.
That means that Professor Balaan is hiding somewhere in this darkness.
Where are you?
I do not know.
Shall we shout out into the air that this has happened?
“Professor Balan! You look great!”
-Fuhhhh, that’s pathetic. little b*tches There’s no point in resisting.
A gloomy voice echoed through this wide space.
And then someone starts to show up. It was Professor Balan wearing a black robe.
A cross-shaped dagger and a long staff are held in each hand, and a thick chain is wrapped around his neck like a necklace.
“Come on, I showed you. What are you going to do now?”
What, did I really call you out?
said the professor.
“It is of no use to resist. dancing. Unnecessary. in vain. even if you guys are pissed barriers fall The malice that was turned away beyond the barrier will encroach upon the world.”
Unlike his stuttering in class, Professor Balaan spoke gloomy but fluently. Elgar receives the story.
“barrier? What kind of random barrier is it? Were you a mad black magician?”
Elgar frowned, as if incomprehension, but I heard it a little differently.
The second part of the novel that comes to my mind after Aira’s execution comes to mind when I hear the words that the wall is falling.
It was a story of a warrior training institution, Ark, fighting as the last bulwark in order to stop the forces of darkness coming from the collapse of the northern wall.
But that doesn’t happen.
Unless Aira is executed according to the original storyline, the barrier will not fall. It’s such a setting.
Then Mirna shouted.
“Professor Balan! Please stop surrendering and return that Mirna Draco’s possessions!”
The professor who laughs at him.
“Professor Balan? There is no such idiot anymore. Only the shell remains. I resisted quite a bit. Now it’s really just a shell.”
“You mean Professor Balaan is dead?”
“Not similar. Now what exists here. Draco’s half penny, who can’t even use necromancy. And the little Lioness who can’t handle the relics of his ancestors… .”
slur.
Professor Balan’s red eyes turned to me.
“… Who are you?”
“It’s Teo Gospel. I listen to the professor’s lecture, don’t you know?”
“I do not know. More nymphs? Now I know. A trivial and useless fairy.”
too bad.
“Heh heh, you can’t defeat me anyway. I’m Gamigin The 4 seats of Demon King Solomon. Because it’s a great necromancy spell, Gamigin.”
“Gamigin… !?”
Mirna shouted in surprise. Elgar asks him.
“what is that?”
“It is the magic of Demon King Solomon! The four great magics that are said to have their own will… . One of them!”
“What do you mean? Demon King Solomon has been subjugated. So all the spells he left behind are gone, aren’t they?”
As Elgar talked, he leisurely mutilated the dead.
-Greek… .
-Hey… .
All the dead of the Draco family, which Elgar had cut down a lot, were all mangled and lying on the floor.
However, Aleister, a powerful necromancer, and Professor Balan, who identified himself as Gamigin, were still there.
If they cast their spells again, the dead will come back to life again and again. Because that’s the fight with the necromancer.
But Professor Balaan, no, Gamigin didn’t seem to want to take us down right away.
“The demon king Solomon is dead? Is Angmar’s blood cut off? It’s funny. Angmar is alive. The proof is that I still have the will.”
“gibberish!”
Elgar growled as if to hear nothing. But Mirna Draco’s face was so pale that it looked very blue.
“Mirna Draco. you would know Your family knew. That Angmar is alive somewhere.”
“… that.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
Elgar asked as if she had heard an unbelievable story. Gamigin smiles at him.
“The Draco family knew. That Angmar’s will never ceased. If you don’t know, ask. ’cause you know better than me Heh heh.”
“Hey, what do you mean?”
Elgar asked as if she was really angry. Anger, embarrassment, and distrust shone across Elgar’s blood-stained face.
I could see that this was the target of that guy named Gamigin. It’s the difference between Elgar and Mirna.
But the story that came out of his mouth was very interesting.
Is Angmar’s will alive?
aren’t you talking about me?
only me
Because the system says I’m the only survivor of Angmar.
But the Draco family knew of my existence… ?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it didn’t seem like that at all.
“Please explain quickly! Angmar is alive. And hide it? Do you not know what this means?”
Shrek.
Elgar grabbed Mirna’s collar.
But Mirna murmured calmly, as if something that should have come someday has come.
“… Now you don’t have to come and lie. It’s true. Angmar is alive. To be precise, the bloodline of the Demon King… . Like a forbidden heritage… .”
