139 – Why you should not show off your power
Morione’s party, who had joined Abne and Erina, was moving along a narrow road to avoid battle as much as possible.
With the current situation where everyone is trying to kill us, how could this street not be chaotic? We were moving forward using the sparsely populated passages as much as possible.
Now that the restrictions had disappeared, Morione’s power was so useful in finding the way that he was rushing under the distorted sky.
There is probably no one who understands the current situation as much as Morione… For various reasons…
“So… Where should I go to join you?”
How far did they run? While they were running for a while, Yura suddenly asked that question.
“Maybe everyone can join if they go to the academy, everyone including Harold… Are heading there now.”
Then, Yura tilts her head as if she is heading to a somewhat unexpected place.
“Academy…?”
“Arsia and Aris are there now. You met them last time, right?”
Then, Yura’s expression suddenly darkens… She must have felt the same way. Yura only met her mother and daughter once, but it was not a very good memory for her…
“Ah… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you…”
Morione finally realized this and apologized sincerely.
“Ah… Yes… Well… It’s okay…”
“I’m really sorry… Ummm… So, let’s continue talking. Harold is also heading there with Marika.”
“Because he is a good person, he must have visited because he was worried about the two mothers and daughters who were not safe.”
Others who heard those words also crossed the shortcut at a faster speed than before.
◆◆◆
“Arsia… What is that…?”
Giant shadows visible at the end of their field of vision….
They were so tightly packed that it seemed as if an unmanageable mass was extending its influence to the Academy.
“Is that… Pure darkness…?”
Dark emptiness itself, shapeless abstract things that do not mix with anything else…
“It’s getting more and more deformed. What’s going on?!”
However, even for a short time, surprising changes occur.
As time passed, little by little, the mass took shape and took shape… Soon, the lumps degenerated into humanoids that looked larger than sturdy adult men.
“It’s a high-level black magic… Unless someone uses it, something like that can suddenly happen-“
“…!”
At that moment, Arsia caught something in the corner of her vision and her eyes widened.
“Aris… Stay here, I’ll come back…”
Then, he immediately uses transference-related magic to make his existence gradually fade away.
“Arsia?! Suddenly…?!”
“I’ll do whatever it takes to protect the students…!”
The image of her who left those words is completely erased.
“…..”
Soon, she appears in front of the creatures of darkness and blocks the evil things that are gradually coming towards the academy.
“Tenebris! Come forward!”
At the same time, she unfolds a huge barrier of the sacred type, completely blocking the path so that nothing more can pass through.
Wow!
Dark magic soon rushes towards the barrier…
“Ugh?!!”
Arsia groaned for a moment at the attack, which was stronger than she could imagine, but then she concentrated all her mind to maintain her barrier.
The black magic that barely survived
From Noble mtl dot com
A situation that was momentarily dangerous… If cracks had formed and the cracks that widened in an instant had not been controlled, the protective shield that had been created would not have been able to function properly and would have broken down.
“You’re more solid than I thought… If I had known in advance that the plan would go wrong, I would have taken care of it when I could control you.”
And the man walks out gracefully from the black army.
“But it doesn’t matter. Until now, I had to control the church because of the rules… But now I can move it myself…”
Overwhelming anxiety and fear felt from the outside… A presence that can be seen as darkness itself… God, the most contradictory being among the beliefs that exist in this era.
“It is time, time for the ancient being to awaken.”
Tenebris, God of Darkness
“I came myself, to gain the infinite that is not enough even if it overflows.”
Perhaps the root of all evil in the Academy…
“As expected… I vaguely knew… But you existed behind them?”
With a bitter smile, they prepare for a big battle, holding in their hands the vast light that is like their natural enemy.
“It’s just that people who are crazy about their beliefs can do things, and the prince was a bit useful, but… Well, fundamentally, if it weren’t for me, the cult members would have been exterminated long ago by you.”
In the past, when the heretics identified Arsia’s weaknesses, how did they obtain that information?
No matter how similar they were… I would never have been able to think of a way to find out her and Aris’ identities and a way to control their weaknesses.
“It was truly a subtle coincidence. If you didn’t have these eyes, I wouldn’t know what you were doing… I wouldn’t have known you existed in the first place.”
Then his left eye begins to burn purple.
Gisaeng Clairvoyant
Convenient eyes that allow you to peek into the vision of those who come into contact with your magic.
Tenebris’ ambition to color this very bright world with his own colors.
And the part of the body that amplified and greatly contributed to that ambition.
“Where is the ancient god, Luthria? Her resurrection means she is not dead…”
He was able to confirm even the moment the prince died.
An ancient god clearly resurrected
He decided that no matter how long he had been asleep, he would never be harmed by the young chicks, so he made a request to Arcia in a threatening voice.
I don’t even know what happened after that…
“At least it’s not here. I don’t even know where it is?”
“Lie… Then the world would have become dark long ago before the current situation… There is no reason for her to go out…”
He glares at Arsia as if he could see through her inner self with his sharp eyes.
But Arcia, who had been telling the truth from the beginning, was confidently looking into those eyes without a single expression on her face.
“Hmm… Did he pull some kind of trick? Or is he just good at acting?”
The unwavering stubbornness gives off a bit of a strange vibe, but we soon decide to put such questions aside.
“You will find out when I kill you, destroy the Academy, and destroy everything.”
Arcia, who instinctively knew that she was the one dealing with a terrifying murder, had eyes filled with fear on the inside.
“Ugh!!”
Realizing that this is an unavoidable fight, Arcia unleashes his dazzling light in waves as a preemptive attack.
“It’s no use.”
However, such magic did not reach him.
Tenebris was surrounded by a dark protective shield that was invisible to the naked eye, and her attacks were unable to injure her even a hair.
Only the harsh creatures next to him were swept away… And he could not inflict even the slightest damage to the source of all evil.
“If you want to do any harm to me, try defeating all the troops behind me.”
The power of that shield is the numerous shadow legions he created by spraying his magic power.
“Tch…!!”
Arsia emits an excellent beam of light with a single magic this time, but no matter how much magic she exerts, the protective shield does not disappear.
In real time, the darkness in my attention is fading away one by one.
“I guess you said it was useless?”
Also, when the numbers of the faded darkness are reduced, they multiply in an instant and form an army again.
“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with all the darkness drawn directly from within me at once? Because if there is even a little bit left, the number will continue to increase.”
“……”
Even though he personally told her how to defeat him, Arcia could only click his tongue.
Because just by maintaining such a wide barrier, the magic power was quickly reaching its limit, so there was no room to cast a large-scale magic that would annihilate these countless creatures of darkness at once.
But if he lifted the barrier, it was clear that these countless numbers would pass by him, penetrate into the inside of the Academy that he was supposed to protect, and devour everything.
“I will soon be infinite, but time will not be. I don’t want to waste any more.”
In the face of overwhelming separation, whether in terms of time or totality, Arcia had no choice but to chew his tongue.
“We have to break the barrier first.”
A god of darkness who gathers darkness at her fingertips and creates a sword.
She is a crystal of pure darkness that she herself created over a long period of time.
“Huh!”
He simply swung his sword down with enthusiasm…
“aaah?!”
The evil energy coming from the end spreads throughout the academy and engulfs the surrounding barrier.
“Ugh… Ahhh…!!”
I tried my best to endure, but the invasion of darkness that began in earnest was at a level beyond my imagination…
“aaah-!?”
In the end, Arcia, who was unable to handle Tenebris’ power, fell miserably with the barrier collapsing helplessly.
“Ugh…!”
He tries to get up again, but in the wake of darkness, an evil energy clings to his body, absorbing his magic power, and if he tries to cast any magic, it will be completely dispelled.
In the end, the Maginot Line was quickly breached without much resistance.
“It’s the final moment.”
The Legion of Tenebris begins to advance again as the only means of protecting the Academy disappears.
“Ah…”
I can never give up, but a pitiful groan comes from Arcia at the sight of hope that I cannot see.
“Search all over the place. At best, it’ll be neutralized or sealed, so it’s definitely out there somewhere.”
Immortal legions busy following their master’s orders.
“No…”
Arsia, who only looked at the lump of darkness approaching her when she muttered in a weak voice…
“Arsia!”
A girl who looks like her appears behind her.
“Aris…?!”
She widens her eyes and is taken aback by the presence of her daughter, who disobeyed even though she clearly told her to stay.
“It’s okay, let’s evacuate first…!!”
At the same time, he does his best to buy some time by releasing her magic from her hands.
“Ice Field!”
A pure white territory extending all the way to the end where they approach, the only area that is bright, unlike everything else is dark.
Then, the speed of Tenebris and his creatures decreases significantly.
“What difference will this make? It won’t be a problem that can be solved by holding on for a few more minutes, right?”
I wonder if the intention was to make the opponent slowly experience despair… Even though it was a magic that could be neutralized very easily, he was walking slowly as if playing a game.
“That’s fun. Are there any other tricks?”
“It’s noisy! What a gloomy guy…!!”
However, despite those words, he simply jeered in an offended tone and then devoted himself to supporting Arcia again.
“Are you just running away? That’s not fun.”
He lowered his voice at her boring response and gave Aris his power as if there was no need for it if there was nothing to see.
“Ugh… What… Uh…?!”
The black blade gets stuck in her chest.
“Cough..! Cough..! Yuck…!!”
Aris coughs painfully and retches repeatedly as the bitter pain ravages her internal organs.
“Aris?! Are you okay…?!!”
Now she feels like she needs to be hugged, and Arcia reacts with worry, trying to force her body up.
“Ah… I will swallow you….”
The god of darkness who spreads a creepy smile while saying words of unknown meaning.
“I.. I’m sorry Arcia…”
Aris still looks painful as she resents herself for quickly becoming a burden in a situation where it was clearly not enough to help her.
“It’s okay… I’ll try my best…!”
Her own situation is not something anyone can tell, but she falls back, supporting each other in order to reassure herself a little.
In fact, she was a lie that she spewed out even though there was nothing she could do anymore…
“You’re a good mother and daughter. I’m sure they’ll get along well soon.”
But even in this tearful situation, there was no mercy for pure evil itself.
Kwasik -!
As if walking was boring now, he easily destroyed the magic that Aris deployed and took a stance to strike them down.
“Goodbye.”
The moment his sword was about to hit the ground…
Thump ㅡㅡ!
Something huge falls into the middle of the corps.
“Hmm…?”
The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and Tenebris stopped attacking at the unexpected intrusion and looked back.
The dust spread thickly and obscured the view like fog. However, it did not take a long time for the scene to change.
“Grrr…!”
There stood a Black dragon That Aris and Arsia had seen for the first time.
“A dragon…? Well… Even if it appears out of nowhere, given the current situation, it wouldn’t be strange if it appeared.”
They spit out harsh words to the dragon that is belittling their army and try to deal with the dragon that is more of an obstacle than the mother and daughter.
“Just having similar colors is useless.”
Creatures rushing towards the dragon with Tenebris’ strike
No matter how large the dragon was, it would not have been able to handle the power that the dark god unleashed with all his might.
But…
“What?!”
That dragon was not just a black entity…
“My creations…?! Ugh…! And why is my power…?!!!”
The last ancient dragon who grew up eating only darkness and said that darkness is the source of power.
“Kyaaa!!!”
It was Mir who ate darkness.
“uuu…!!”
The armies of darkness were too much for her… The place that was like a buffet to the being that preyed on her darkness had drawn her in by chance….
“That doesn’t make sense, I heard he was definitely dead -“
That that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
The God of Darkness, who tried to instill despair in his enemies by showing off his power more than necessary, had to accept the price.
