In fact, even if there was a secret strategy, the probability of failure was high.
No matter what, the opponent is a puppet.
The reason I overdo it is because I am afraid of the consequences. It was clear that if the puppet was not dealt with here, something bad would happen in the future.
“Going first gives in. “Let’s do our best so that we don’t have any regrets before we die.”
“ha ha ha!!”
Puppet burst out laughing.
“How dare you, this puppet. How on earth do you want to die so terribly? good. I’ll do whatever you want. To look forward to it. “I will let you die after experiencing all the pain a human can experience.”
Sigh!
The dolls rushed in.
Thump thump.
My heart was pounding from the tension.
The dolls on the weak side are at Lv. 3, Lv. It is level 4.
Lv. There are also entities with a power of up to 5.
Power that far overwhelms most knights or wizards.
If the plan doesn’t work out as planned, I will be torn to pieces.
‘You must never appear scared. ‘A poker face is important.’
I just folded my arms and looked at the dolls that were flocking towards me.
Arrogantly, as if watching a moth jump into a fire.
The puppet seemed to be puzzled by my appearance, so it stopped the army of puppets for a moment.
“… I don’t know what you’re thinking. “I bet you don’t know that it’s impossible for you to handle it, right?”
“why? “Are you scared?”
“!!”
“As expected of a coward. “If you’re afraid of me, just freak out right now.”
The puppet’s complexion became pale.
coward.
It was the word he hated the most.
“Be prepared!”
Eventually, the dolls’ hands were about to reach me.
‘Now!’
I pulled out my ‘first’ ace.
Sigh.
It was a magic bomb.
A magic stone created by accumulating as much mana as possible for the sole purpose of making a bomb.
It was also an advanced level.
‘I got it from Lyran at the Dragon Citadel a while ago, just in case. ‘I never thought I’d write it like this.’
Advanced magic bombs are Lv. It also works on 5 knights and wizards.
Of course, real knights and wizards use their skills to somehow neutralize the magic bomb, but the opponent is a doll with no sense.
Kwaaa!!!
I was immediately caught up in the magic bomb.
The dolls were swept away as if caught by a grenade.
Even though I had not just one magic bomb, I had 10 of them.
It exploded all at once, and the dolls that were flocking to me were torn like paper and scattered around.
It was literally a scorched earth.
but,
“hahahaha, were you just aiming for this little trick? Ban, I’m disappointed in you.”
Faaat.
The Puppet’s dark mana covered the surroundings, and an unbelievable miracle occurred.
The dolls that had been torn into pieces, including arms, legs, and numerous fragments, began to be restored to their original state.
It was Puppet’s 7th level master spell, ‘Immortal Puppet.’
As long as Puppet was alive, his puppets were immortal.
-Kigeek.
-Kill it. Kill it.
Dozens of dolls returned to their normal appearance and smiled eeriely.
A distant sight.
“I expected a lot from you, but this is all I got. I’m out of breath. I guess I’ll just torture him and kill him… .”
The puppet kept his mouth shut.
I felt something strange.
Even though the situation was hopeless, I still took a firm stance.
It wasn’t a bluff.
I twisted the corner of my mouth.
“You idiot. “You don’t even know what kind of situation you’ve gotten yourself into.”
“… what?”
“It’s your loss.”
At the same time as that declaration.
My true secret weapon has been revealed.
Suddenly.
The light flashed.
Dark and gloomy.
It is a light like the wings of a black bird.
“!!”
Puppet was shocked and tried to stop it, but it was no use.
Since he had just used the 7-star master spell, his energy was not at its best, and the being that appeared now was not one to miss even the smallest of gaps.
Suddenly!
The puppet’s neck rose in the air.
Beyond the blood, I saw a woman with cold eyes.
Black swan Amanda.
He was a War Mage who dominated the front lines of the Northern Seven Kingdoms, and was a descendant of the Sun Moon Clan, a legendary clan of assassins!
Yes.
The secret weapon I prepared was her.
Amanda didn’t stop by cutting the puppet’s throat.
Phew! Suddenly!
After stabbing the heart, they cut it out and cut off the limbs as well.
Of course, this wasn’t a puppet that would die, but Amanda did manage to land an additional fatal blow.
“The sun and the moon will come! “You little creatures of the world, kneel before the sun and the moon!!”
Faaah!
Brilliant light and deep darkness flickered at the same time, and then rattled! The puppet’s head, heart, arms, and legs, which were trying to reattach to the body, suddenly stopped.
The Puppet’s recovery was prevented by the Sun Moon Clan’s unique debuff power that interferes with the opponent’s power.
“Did you see it, benefactor?! I did it for my benefactor! Please praise me!”
“Don’t make a fuss. “It’s not over yet.”
Geek.
The puppet’s head, heart, arms, and legs were shaking.
They are trying to forcefully push away the power of the Sun and Moon clan.
“What, this monster?! My benefactor, I will hold on! “My benefactor, run away!”
“Okay. “It’s my victory.”
Amanda made a puzzled face.
Considering the puppet’s current momentum, it will be revived to its original state in less than a minute.
It didn’t matter.
1 minute, no, 30 seconds was enough.
Jerk.
I walked towards the puppet’s severed head.
The puppet shouted eerily, his eyes turning red with anger.
“I will kill you! No, I will make you a doll, unable to live or die, and humiliate you for eternity!”
“You think the same thing as me. “I’m planning on making you my doll too.”
“… what?”
“I said I would turn you into a doll.”
I put my hand on the puppet’s head.
“A person of high status dominates his opponents. “This is the basics of puppetry.”
Originally, my puppetry skills were poor.
The Moonlight Waltz, which is only possible if you obtain the opponent’s oath, is all you can do.
However, if the opponent was a puppet, there was an opportunity to dig in.
‘All you have to do is take control of one of the threads where the puppet controls the puppet and control the puppet in reverse.’
This is something that only I, a master of magic, can attempt.
However, there was an important prerequisite to this.
My ‘status’ had to be higher than that of the puppet.
That’s the basics of puppetry.
It was okay.
“I, Van Ecclesia, am a great being that can’t even be compared to you. “Pay obeisance to me.”
What kind of nonsense is this story?
However, this was the moment when the puppet was about to laugh.
“W-what? does not make sense?! Why do you have this level of soul?!”
I quietly closed my eyes.
Even though it is only level 1 now.
I imagined myself becoming a being of high rank.
It wasn’t difficult.
I could naturally imagine that this was something I should have had in the first place.
I felt omnipotent, as if I was up in the sky and looking down on the earth.
-Expresses the trait, ‘Ascendant (incomplete, temporary, partial)’!
It was a trait I had previously gained after dealing with the Lord of Dreams!
In an instant, albeit imperfectly, my soul reached the sky and completely subdued the puppet’s soul.
“You dirty, insignificant thing.”
I ordered.
“Disappear from the world forever.”
From Noble mtl dot com
With that command.
Scream!
The puppet disappeared.
to the letter.
As if it had been erased with an eraser, its very existence had disappeared.
* * *
‘What, what? What happened?’
I was appalled.
My plan was to subdue the puppet with puppetry and then order its own death.
But, to completely disappear?
‘Existence itself disappears, Lv. 9 Isn’t it possible without miracle magic? Wait, really?’
I looked embarrassed at one guess that came to mind.
‘… Could it be that I performed a transfer magic?’
As if my guess was correct, this message came to mind.
– In an imperfect manner, magic that goes against the law of causality was manifested!
Violation of causality is a typical characteristic of transfer magic.
This means that the magic of miracles has truly been revealed!
Of course, it wasn’t a complete transfer magic.
-Magic effects are adjusted to your true level!
Still, it was a ridiculous story.
‘No matter how weak it is, what kind of magic is transfer magic?’
The transfer magic wasn’t just strong.
It literally refers to the power to bend the laws of reality.
‘… It must have happened once in a while by chance. There is no way the causality of the world would allow me to do something like this again.’
Indeed, an additional message came to mind.
-You will be penalized for violating causality!
-Your body reacts!
“Cough!”
“A benefactor?!”
He suddenly coughed up blood and fell to his knees.
Fortunately, it didn’t hurt.
Instead, my body rapidly became heavier. So much so that it’s hard to lift a finger.
‘The condition of my body worsened due to the force.’
Fortunately, though, there didn’t seem to be any permanent damage.
You’ll be fine after a few days of rest.
‘This was a cheap way to get rid of the puppet.’
However, an unexpected misunderstanding occurred.
“Benefactor!! “Did you really use a self-sacrifice spell?”
“… … ??”
I made a puzzled face.
Literally, it is a spell that burns one’s life force and exerts powerful power.
‘… No, I’ve never used anything like that before?’
I tried to deny it, but I coughed again and was speechless.
Amanda misunderstood even more and cried out desperately.
“Ahh! It’s in bad condition! “You said that last time at the evil dragon’s nest, so why does your benefactor always do that?”
‘No, I’ve never done anything similar in the evil dragon’s nest? ‘What are you misunderstanding?’
However, there was no time to correct the misunderstanding.
These voices were heard.
“Uh, Professor Ban? Even a self-sacrifice spell for us?”
It was the group that ran away earlier!
Not only Julia and Wilhelm, but also Catherine, Liebel, the 3rd Prince, Hans, Linden, and Marie were all there.
‘Why did they come back?’
I made a troubled face.
Everyone had different reactions, but they were all expressing one emotion.
Right away, it was touching.
Everyone misunderstood that I sacrificed my life to save them!
‘No, this is a bit excessive.’
However, an even more difficult challenge has arrived.
“I came because I sensed the presence of an ascendant? what?”
It was former President Randolph!
He glanced around, then narrowed his eyes at me.
“Ban, are you sure?”
It was a crisis!
At one time Lv. 8 Former President Randolph, who was an archmage, might have noticed that I had just used a transfer spell.
In the end, I closed my eyes and chose the lesser evil over the worst.
“… “I defeated the puppet with a self-sacrifice spell.”
“!!”
When I admitted it, everyone in the hall became agitated.
“… professor.”
Julia, it’s okay for Wilhelm to bite his lip.
But, Catherine, Rivelle.
You guys stop being impressed.
Third Prince, why do you look like that?
