Chapter 141 – Pennheim Polaris
From noble mtl dot com
Contrary to the feeling of darkness, the laboratory is so bright that it hurts the eyes.
There, a dark-haired man stood there with a satisfied smile.
“Hmm.”
The man who raised his own hand, Pennheim Polaris, admired the black magic blooming on his hand with purple eyes.
The results of his efforts over the past few years have been amazing beyond his imagination.
Did you say dark magic? Dinah’s power, similar to that of the demon king.
Pennheim has finally succeeded in replicating some of its power through experiments and research through Dina.
“Dina has always felt like this….”
Pennheim, who was controlling the black magic freely and turned it off, sighed.
“Then you won’t need that b*tch anymore.”
All that remains is to amplify this cloned power.
Tools that are no longer useful must disappear. Rather, he is only holding back the achievements he has achieved.
The problem is that two of his competent underlings disappeared not too long ago….
I can’t even remember the name, the ability to control the ability called erosion seems to be dead.
The bandaged guy is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown.
Moreover, Letricia, who was the main force, and her brother, the nameless offspring, have betrayed her.
In terms of the situation, Pennheim was at a much disadvantage, but… Pennheim grinned as if there was no problem.
“Because at the point of being able to handle dark magic, this side’s victory is already certain.”
Dark magic itself is obviously much weaker than Dina.
However, Pennheim’s abilities are not limited to dark abilities.
If the power of this dark magic was added to the power he originally possessed, there was no doubt that he would become a strong man who could not be matched by anyone except the demon king and the warrior.
Besides, if you succeed in amplifying the power of dark magic, you’ll be able to chew on even those two.
If there’s one thing that bothers you… Did you say Siwoo Han?
There is a male student who has been talking about this place recently.
A survivor of the rushed labyrinth abduction mission, and a strange guy who is deeply involved in everything Odin’s eyes do and is still alive and well.
He even intervened in the erosion and the bandage this time.
Appearance of a new irregular that was not expected at all.
It’s quite annoying.
“That makes it even more fun though.”
Although he was a hindrance, he was also an interesting one.
Investigating his past activities, he was an ordinary Awakener with no special talent until just a year ago.
However, he suddenly started to bounce around the day of the academy entrance ceremony, and is growing at an unbelievable speed.
Besides, even the power he uses is unusual.
The fact that magic is purple is definitely not a blessing from the stars, but it has divinity.
In addition, magical traits similar to the blessing of the stars, swordsmanship reminiscent of Park Se-rin, who was called the swordsman of the battlefield.
And once, he imitated things other than his abilities.
As if using a degraded version, it was less than the original, but it was a definite imitation.
Just like the copy’s ability in the distant past.
“It’s fun.”
That’s why it’s even more fun. As dangerous as it is.
His magic pattern and temperament, and even his strange abilities. It is full of things I want to study together.
Now that I’ve confirmed that he’s on good terms with Dina, I think I’ll be able to secure Han Si-woo and take care of Dina at the same time if I use Dina well.
Pennheim, who was plotting in his head how to handle the matter, nodded.
Anyway, in Odin’s eyes, there is no more power to waste.
Rather, it is a better choice to go out on your own and play while Dina, Siwoo Han, and their teammates are tired.
Still, it would be nice to have someone who could be of any help, so let’s find a guy with bandages.
I don’t know where she went after the news broke, but if you search around the last place you were contacted, you might be able to find it.
After thinking, Pennheim left the lab with leisurely steps.

“Hmm…. Is it okay if I just leave it as it is?”
Ifelsar looked down at the bound bandage, as if the string holding him was unreliable.
“He was such a strong guy, can’t we just tie him down with that?”
Although it’s a rather sturdy rope, I don’t think it’s strong enough to bind the Awoken.
“Wouldn’t it be okay? Because I’m so injured, I won’t be able to use my strength properly!”
Wouldn’t Iren be okay with that? She only maintains an attitude of….
Ifelsar glared at the bandages that were still fainting as if he was very suspicious, he turned his head at the presence he felt from the side.
“… Eh?”
Somehow familiar, a bat-shaped spirit clad in dark magic was floating there watching over them.
No, to be precise, the bandage that was bound.
The eyes of a bat that had been watching her flapping its wings suddenly flashed! And shining
Realizing the momentary danger, Ifel Sar used her dragon fire to spread her wings and hug Iren, who was next to her.
And that action was the right choice.
Quaaagh—————!
Because she is an Elementalist, her physical ability is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, so it was not a level of explosion that Irene could withstand.
“Kyaaak!”
“Ugh!”
Iren’s screams burst out of her arms, and Ifel Sar gnashed his teeth at the burning pain he felt behind her back.
However, the attack did not end there. After she is crushed by the explosion, something huge rises as she shatters what little remains of the floor.
Ifel Sarr, who squinted one eye at her pain, hugged Iren as she escaped through the window behind her.
At the same time, a huge dark spirit rose from the floor and swallowed the bandage into its mouth.
“Crazy….”
“That… what…… ?”
The two witnessed an unbelievable sight.
Like the bat spirits we saw earlier, there were many spirits made of dark magic.
Enough to fill the entire city.
Adding a little bit of exaggeration, it seemed like I was watching the waves crashing into the sea on a dark night.
“Unbelievable….”
Seeing the scene, Iren muttered involuntarily.
It is impossible for any elemental wizard in the world to deal with so many spirits.
It is not a simple denial of reality, it means that it is theoretically impossible.
Depending on the size, shape, and power of the summoned spirit, it is an enormous burden for the spirit spirit.
The same goes for the amount of mana consumed each time you summon one, as well as the amount of mana required to maintain them.
Even at first glance, not all of them are low-level spirits. Intermediate spirits as well as middle and intermediate spirits can be seen mixed.
Furthermore, spiritism is not simply a domain of summoning.
Elemental spirits share some of the consciousness of the spirits they summon.
Look at the world with your own eyesight, and at the same time look at the world with the spirit’s eyesight.
It communicates with the summoned spirit in its head and gives orders.
Moreover, when a spirit dies or suffers damage equal to it, the pain and damage is passed on to the summoned spirit lord almost as it is.
That’s why the scenery that is unfolding in front of my eyes is a scene that doesn’t make sense.
If it wasn’t really because of Iren’s misunderstanding that he was misperceiving the wave of magical energy, all of those spirits were summoned by one person.
“… Can’t beat that.”
Even Iren, who is nicknamed the most gifted Elementalist of all time, can only summon 3 high level spirits, 5 middle level spirits, and 20 low level spirits at once.
In fact, even that was a stage that was only known to be impossible until Iren actually did it.
However, the number of advanced dark spirits in front of me right now is well over 8.
There seem to be more than 50 intermediate level spirits, and there are so many low level spirits that it is meaningless to count them.
That means that the enemy that appeared just now is a being that can bear the mana that so many spirits are consuming, and it means that it is a being that can stand still even after sharing consciousness with so many spirits at once.
Besides, the first attack was the self-destruction of the dark bat…. Even that would have shocked the summoner, but without hesitation, he performed a self-destruct attack.
No matter what state the summoner might be in now, it was certain that he was a ridiculous monster.
‘If only they were still here….’
At least it would have been possible to run away together.
However, only the two of you with Ifelsar do not have the strength to break through the dark spirit’s army and run away.
‘… No.’
Iren looked up at Ifelsar, who was quietly hugging him.
Her expression was flustered, as if she had guessed that she too would not win.
Looking up at Ifelsar, Iren thought.
‘If I sacrifice… ?’
Excluding the light attribute, it is the fire attribute that can inflict the most effective damage on the dark attribute.
And fortunately, Iren was able to handle all elemental spirits.
If Iren is willing to risk her life and she puts her all into it, she might be able to pull off a few seconds.
And those few seconds should give Ifelsar enough time to get away.
‘… Besides, if you’re lucky, you might be able to live.’
The city where they are now is right in front of Star City.
If an accident of this magnitude occurred, there was a high probability that heroes would come out to deal with it from the inside.
Isn’t there a warrior who specializes in defeating the dark attribute right now?
Plus, maybe the friends who left a while ago could come back.
‘For now, let’s go ahead and wait as long as possible.’
Iren was just about to tell Ifel Sar to run away.
The reason why Ifelsar blew his breath at the dark spirits with his nopakku.
