Chapter.6 In the Name of Glory (17)
***
“”“You’re so arrogant to use such trivial tricks!”“”
I don’t know what tricks he used, but after Aldrich took care of all the undead that were filling the square in one go, he continued to fight with an expressionless face the whole time. Anger appeared on the face of the approaching warlock.
“”“How many did you send? Dozens? Hundreds? good night. Do whatever you want! There are dozens of times more ghosts tied up here, so just play like that good boatman
until your soul is completely worn out!”
.
The professor was already moving before thinking.
‘The population of a village has already surpassed that of one village. This village is on the road from Pelas to Tobrunn. That guy captured all the refugees from Pelas and absorbed them!’
The moment Aldrich chanted the spell, it felt instinctive. The driving force that moved the undead that filled the square, and the souls that were tied up within it, had left this place. However, according to what the warlock said, there were still more than enough souls he could use, so giving him time meant that the previous situation would repeat itself.
“Borca. “Can you break through that barrier just once?”
“…I’ll try, but the distance is too far so I can’t guarantee it.”
The moment the werewolf and the professor were about to take a powerful leap over the shaking ground,
“I’ll solve that.”
Otman’s hand, which was preparing the spell, finally began to form a hand sign.
Tap, tap, tap!
A quiet square where the cries and screams of the undead have disappeared. Meanwhile, the now familiar sound of fingers snapping could be heard. A water magician’s specialty is magical connection, so there was no way Otman would miss this opportunity.
While the professor and Borka hesitated, the arrogant smile that had been distorted for a moment returned to the warlock’s face.
“” “That’s foolish!” Because of a moment’s hesitation, I lost my only chance! Come! Army of the Dead! Wake up! O desperate despair! [Undead Rise]! [Summon Patchwork Giant]!”“”
Blah blah blah!
The warlock’s spell, which was activated in an instant just before Otman’s spell was completed, caused a huge amount of black ash to seep into the ground. At the same time, the ground was shaking so much that it was difficult to stand. Anyone could see that it looked like something huge was about to come out.
“Otman!”
“Don’t worry, just take a look.”
“But… if we give it more time, all the opportunities Aldrich gave us will be lost!”
“No, that will never happen.”
Otman smiled triumphantly as he looked at the heaving, almost swollen surface.
“It’s time…. So a wizard’s risk is proportional to the time given to him.”
Kuwagagagagak-!
.
.
.
.
.
With Ottman’s confident declaration, all vibrations and noises disappeared in an instant.
Patter –
A rotten forearm sticking out of the ground.
My arm, which seemed to have managed to come out, was struggling, but soon it slipped and fell helplessly into the hole I came out of.
“”“….You guy….what did you do…!”“”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that…you gave me too much time.”
Guuuuu –
With the sound of something huge collapsing, the swollen ground began to sink downward. Down, down, completely falling apart, endlessly down.
“Hey Professor. Do you know the first rule of magic warfare?”
“If you are on a battlefield prepared by an opposing wizard, should you change the battlefield?”
“I know very well.”
When the professor found out what Ottman had done, he burst out laughing without realizing it.
“This is absurd…”
“Aren’t wizards essentially people who do things that go beyond common sense?”
Takkak!
The 5th level water magic
“[Ottman Baudelaire’s Sinkhole]”
Scream!
A huge cavity was located at the bottom of the completely collapsed surface of the earth. At the bottom of the empty space, except for the pure white roots emitting a strange light, numerous undead were seen struggling in the swirling water.
“I am a research wizard, so I have a habit of understanding and analyzing situations. I don’t know much about black magic, but I realized that at least 90% of the undead he works with walk on two legs, so if they don’t have a place to stand, they are just useless puppets. As the water used at the entrance had sufficiently seeped into the basement, it was dug up from the inside. “At first, it was done for the purpose of taking down that hideous giant tree… but it seems that the power was not enough.”
“So you’re saying you brought the whole wave that was used at the entrance?”
“hmm? Are you asking the obvious? Would a water wizard about to go into battle abandon water? Everything was held tightly through the path that underground water travels through. It took some time because the land was polluted by black magic, but…”
Otman smiled happily as he looked at the dark wizard’s badly distorted face.
“Looking at that, it looks like it went well.”
“I agree. “The enemy’s fucked face always means the success of the operation.”
The professor also saw the boy’s face distort and the face of an old man appear.
***
“” “Speaking of insolent bugs… how dare you interfere with this body’s event!” “”
The voice of a warlock filled the quarters rang out in the square where only pure white trees and sunken cavities remained. At first glance, he seemed to be full of anger, but the professor could tell that he was quite embarrassed. Obviously, the victory has now come this way. Most of the undead who will protect him are down there, a water wizard and a warlock who seem to be on the same level as him are targeting him, and two warriors with considerable combat power are guarding them.
Before he knew it, the fear of defeat began to slowly grow in the warlock’s mind, and
he
couldn’t bear it. It’s terrible that I came here after being pushed by Mute, who is nothing more than a creature of warlocks, but to be defeated and die by such foolish warriors? I?
“””It can never be like that. It can never be like that! I will not lose! I, the master of curses and evil spirits! I can barely stand it against you insects!!”””
Sigh!
His fingernails grew sharp along with the warlock’s determination. can do. I am not worthless enough to die in a place like this! He himself is qualitatively different from the souls he has burned for decades! can do! There’s no way you can fail!
“” “You thought you could overcome me with just this little trick! If you really thought that way, let me tell you how arrogant it was!” “”
The warlock, who flew over the bast tree on black ash, stuck his ten fingers into his chest and opened it left and right.
“” “Keuuuuu! Behold the pinnacle of great black magic! A supreme state that can never be reached by walking down a path full of hypocrisy!”“”
Tree branches made of human bones began to gather around the warlock, who was coughing up blood and reaching for his heart.
“”“As sins accumulate, they become karma, and the accumulated karma becomes a frame and testifies to the life of a sinner!”“”
Quack!
Without a single hesitation, the warlock pulled out his own heart from his cracked chest and held it high. Soon, the black ash scattered throughout the village gathered in the square and began to rush towards his heart.
An ominous wind blew. The wind that anyone can sense is a harbinger of something terrible.
“Throw me away! “Before he finishes chanting!”
Borka ran in front of the professor, who was preparing to jump across the wide cavity and attack the guy with an unusual energy, and said: He seemed very nervous about something.
“Throw it? “To the middle of nowhere now?”
“There is no time! “Hurry up before I lose my mind any further!”
Only then was the professor able to check Borca’s condition. His eyes were brimming with black energy, and the fur that contained the silver aura had lost its shine and turned a dull gray. Before he knew it, the power of black magic had penetrated as much as me.
“Just once! If you do your best, you will be able to temporarily neutralize its defenses.”
Borka said that much and did not open his mouth. Saliva was flowing from his mouth along with a growling sound.
Of course, just because he didn’t say anything didn’t mean he couldn’t guess what was going on.
The professor looked at him with determination and silently put his hands together and held them down like he was playing volleyball. Borka’s bare feet were placed on top of his hands. Perhaps due to the cold surrounding air eroded by black magic, the werewolf’s feet, which had a high body temperature, felt like flames.
“I believe you are strong and will use my best power.”
“Don’t be late and follow me.”
Kwaaaaaa!
The professor raised his head and looked at the warlock. My heart was sucking in so much air around me that it was difficult to breathe.
‘There is no time. I don’t know what it is, but if I let it be completed, it won’t end up being a headache!’
“Huh!”
Ouch!
The professor’s arms gained strength.
“Strengthen your legs! Goes!”
As soon as he confirmed that Borka was ready, the professor used his whole body to push Borka’s feet up with both hands.
“URAAAAAH!!!”
“Kaaaa!!”
Borka kicked his leg with the force of the bounce and flew towards the warlock like a flash fire.
My heart was pounding – pounding –
and before I knew it, my heart, which had absorbed all the black ash, had turned pitch black and was beating on its own.
The warlock’s lifeless eyes were looking at it with satisfaction.
“” “I am accumulating sins. I will make a staircase out of a frame and bring down those hypocrites from heaven.”“”
Quaduk!
“Keuuuuung!”
At that moment, Borka’s claws penetrated the wall of human bones surrounding the warlock, accurately cutting off the warlock’s head, and flew through the wall on the other side.
The professor, who was preparing to jump in from afar, Aldrich, and Ottman, who was supporting him, were all watching the scene. The severed head rose into the air and the giant bast tree, which had been constantly moving, stopped moving.
“Success… did you do it?”
The white wall surrounding the warlock collapsed, and the small boy’s body and the black heart in his hand began to fall down. When the word “victory” flashed through everyone’s minds for a moment,
“”“Last… Spell…”“”
The head of the warlock, who had fallen while smiling, opened his mouth.
[Rise Damned One]
Kwasik!
A huge white forearm burst through the tree and grabbed the black heart. The pulsating black heart energy flows down the arm and towards the tree-
“Oh no! It’s too late! “Your order is complete!”
“”“KA-AAAAAAAAA!!!!!”””
Against the backdrop of Aldrich’s screaming cries, a pure white demon was shedding its skin and emerging.
***
It was a demon made of gigantic bones.
Huge wings made of black ash.
Three. “ It had a head like a goat’s skull. It
had a black mace in one hand and a black chain in the other.
It let out a single roar that was enough to blow off the roof of a house, and was slowly turning in the direction of the group.
” “What is that…?”
“The devil. No, not a complete devil. He used the devil summoning and lichening spells at the same time. He used that white tree that was his soul jar to summon the devil, and then moved into his body before his consciousness passed on.”
“So you’re saying that’s the warlock?”
“Some of them. Even if you put a lot of effort into just casting a lich spell, the success rate is about 60% or something, but during the battle, someone who is only 5th rank attempts it by using the body of a demon whose soul frame itself is different. Even so. He died before the spell was completely finished, so I bet he lost most of his soul. His strength probably wasn’t there at all. Can’t you see his body already falling apart? “It won’t die on its own if you leave it alone.”
“”“KAAAA!!! DUUU! RAKA!!!!!”””
Jeez!
“Holy shit!” The professor
,
who pulled the two wizards out of the range of the black mace he swung in an instant, frowned and said,
“…It looks like they’ve definitely gotten over their hostility towards us at least.”
“Hmm. I guess I don’t have time to wait for that guy to die.”
“What are your weaknesses?”
As if there was no need to worry about the professor’s question, Aldrich immediately answered,
“Even though his form has changed, he is still a warlock. Find the soul jar. If you destroy it, the rest is just a pile of strangely shaped bones.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to look for that.”
At Aldrich’s words, the professor’s eyes turned to the guy’s chest. He could see at a glance that the black heart that the warlock had created was embedded in the guy’s chest, where the bones were crumbling and falling off, and was transmitting its power to the devil’s entire body. .
It was not the time to save strength. If you die here and your character disappears, you will lose the chance to be separated from Hyde forever.
The professor closed his eyes and quietly called out to his tenant on the other side of consciousness.
‘Use. Hyde, now you come out and go berserk like last time. If I write it down, how many seconds can I use it?’
[There is no Mute’s blood, so you have to use only the shell’s blood. You can’t create a large mass like last time… If you only use regeneration, 15 seconds?]
’15 seconds… Then, at the correct timing and within that time. ‘Can you take me to that heart?’
[It seems possible, but… no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I have any strength left. It’s over when I get to the front. There’s no more after that. Even if I give it back, I’ll only have the strength left of an ordinary adult man.]
‘Just do it that far. The rest. ‘I’ll try to do something.’
Tap-tap-tap!
As soon as permission was given, the professor’s consciousness sank into the darkness and Hyde rose to the surface.
“Hmm-! Refresh. Sometimes, instead of when I’m in a hurry like this, I want to go outside and relax when I have some free time.”
[If this job goes well, I’ll give you another day.]
“Oh! Really? I made a promise! You know we can’t lie to each other, right? It’s unconditional!”
While Professor Hyde was answering questions to himself, Aldrich, who was standing next to him, had a shocked expression on his face, as if he had seen another devil.
“How can this be… Has your soul completely changed? Is this even possible?” ?”
“Aha! Nice to meet you, Aldrich! He’s pretty cool for an old guy! I saw it all inside!”
“Inside? So… two souls coexisted? What exactly are you?”
“Hi-Hi. That’s what you’re thinking about right now. A monster.”
Hyde confused Aldrich with a few words and then raised Ottman, who had fallen backwards due to the shock of the demon’s birth, to his feet and said,
“Please answer quickly, as I don’t have time. Can you make a foothold on top of me? ?”
“Uh… it’s possible. But your mood has changed a bit-”
“Then please!”
After hearing Otman’s answer, Hyde vigorously jumped into the cavity without even looking back.
“Look! Wait… Iik! [Floating Water]!”
The moment Hyde lost momentum and fell, a flat lump of water summoned by Ottman bounced his body up. Even though he kicked lightly, it flew quite far, so it didn’t seem to be ordinary water.
“It’s water endowed with the realization of repulsion! Rank 1. “ It’s enough to move around, so just use that-”
“I’m sorry! I don’t know how to do magic! That’s because I’m a professor from the other side! Please keep summoning me just like you are now, old man!”
“What what?”
Pow!
Hyde kicked off the water board and into the devil’s arms, activating the infection factor in his entire body as if his entire body was on fire.
“Mutation Berserk.”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss at at me, Hyde
immediately clashes with the huge mace that flies in with his right hand !
The arm of the devil holding the mace was thrown back, and at the same time, Hyde’s body, which had taken the brunt of the impact, was flying like a cannonball.
“Iik! [Floating Water]”
Paang!
“Wa-hoo! Nice catch! Water wizard grandfather! ”
Hyde used the force of his flight to bounce back at a faster speed.
His body was flying towards the chain in his other hand instead of his chest, which was wide open from the collision
just now. ‘If I fail this time, everyone will die, so I’ll make sure to do it once and for all!’
“8 seconds!”
Kwajik!
Hyde’s arms and chest were burning black as he hugged the chain containing the magical power of the curse, but he held on to the chain without hesitation and landed at the edge of the cavity. He pulled on the chain with all his strength, as if pulling out
a mountain . !
“””KAAAA!!!!!”””
The devil’s skeleton, which was already falling apart, could not withstand the enormous force and was broken into pieces, the devil’s right shoulder was completely shattered, and the attached black wings began to fall apart.
“”“KUUU !!! DU KAA! TESAAAAAA!!!!”””
“Yes, yes! I know it! It’s a pain to have a broken body! 5 seconds!”
Paaang!
Hyde, who jumped into the cavity with a body that was starting to crumble like a devil due to the curse, quickly stepped on the Otman magic created at his feet and jumped towards the falling devil’s chest, slamming his arms down like a hammer with all his might.
Whoops!
Quad deuk!
“”“KAAAAAA!!!!”””
The devil was struggling to somehow climb out by holding on to the wall of the hole created by the sinkhole, but due to the impact of Hyde falling on his chest, he was unable to hold on and fell down, leaving a long mark on the wall. .
“Bone is supposed to be buried in the ground! 3 seconds left! One hit is possible!”
Whoa!
The professor’s consciousness surfaced again with Hyde’s words:
“Thank you, Hyde.”
Without delay, the professor tore off the holy relic that was hanging around his neck and then took the main body of the holy relic in his hands.
It was a large oval with slightly pointed ends and an empty middle.
[Item: Nelphia’s Light / All remaining sacred power Indestructible until consumed (4500/4500) / Amplification of sacred power / Recovers sacred power slowly when placed in a place with light / Locked / Locked / Locked] The effect is an amplification effect that is of no use to a professor without
sacred power.
If he was engaged, he would have been able to use all the effects that were locked behind him. If he had even a rat’s tail of sacred power and could activate the holy relic, the holy power would gather in that round hole, and the holy relic, which was shaped like an eye, would show off various abilities. ‘I guess!’
“As soon as I saw this, I thought I could use it like this!”
The professor held the holy relic tightly in his hand by inserting four fingers into the hole while the divine power was gathering. If a priest of the church saw it, he would look like he would rush at me with foam at the mouth
. The professor was holding the light of Nelphia on his right hand like a knuckle.
Kiyiing. -!
The moment the holy object reacted to the magic of black magic and began to emit dazzling light, the professor used all his might to plunge his right hand into the devil’s heart. “”“
KAAAA!!!! KU DEKA!!!!ALSEKRA!! ! MAHELA
!!!
”
The moment it lifts –
kuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah For?
“”” KAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”””
A brilliant holy light filled the huge pupil and became a huge pillar of light and soared into the sky?
