A space surrounded by darkness on all sides. What Daria faced in it was a fragment of old despair buried deep in her heart.
-mom. When I grow up next time, I will be a great wizard like my mother!
She was herself who lacked experience as a mother.
He was a child who would not hurt even if I put myself in the eyes that always chased after me, calling me mom.
– Look at this. It’s a magic missile!
He was also a child who was proud of showing magic to himself, who had learned magic since childhood because he had talent.
There were days like this.
‘After work, he felt a strange flow of magical energy and went to the backyard without even realizing it.’
Her child was there.
With a body not yet ten years old, sweat profusely all over her body. As if he had practiced magic all day, there are many marks left by magic around him.
-If you practice a little more, you can show it to your mom!
‘Ah…’
What he thought was a talent was actually an effort. An effort to show it to my mother and not to anyone else.
‘He was such a grown-up, but at times he was a kid who also had a side that was perfect for his age.’
Whether it’s candy or a cake topped with whipped cream. He was a child who especially liked sweet things.
Same on that day.
-mom. Can I buy you one more fruit candy?
A business trip that I went out with my husband and children for a trip. I wonder if the fruit candies sold at the market there were especially to my liking.
He shook his head at the child who had already eaten one and asked for another.
‘Because eating too much will rot your teeth…’
And—.
-Mom, I’m sick….
-The memory of that day remained as one of the biggest regrets in her life.
The moment I opened my eyes for a moment.
No, it wasn’t something that could be said to have sold one’s eyes.
Because I was away for a while to work while leaving my husband and child at the dorm.
But, of course, the terror of the cultists took place on the spot. Her husband and son were victims of the terror.
When she arrived late, everything was already overdue.
-It hurts, but I’m sleepy
…
What she was able to find in the burning inn was the body of her husband who had already passed away and a child bleeding from her stomach
.
That day was the most regrettable and cursed thing in Daria’s memory.
What about candy? It’s such a big deal that your teeth are rotting.
If I knew how to send it, I would let him eat as much as he wanted, even if it was his favorite candy.
It was from then.
I started to think of my students as if they were my own children.
Unconsciously, when I saw sweets, my hands started to go.
She seemed to be laughing and enjoying herself, but being sweet was both a curse and a punishment for herself.
however.
‘dare-!’
The regrets of the day were almost to be reproduced once again by the tricks of the weightlifters and cultists.
“Your Highness the Princess.”
“…?”
“Your youngest… Russell, please.”
When I waved my hand lightly in the air, a subspace opened and several potions came in.
Dalgrak.
Daria, who handed it to the princess, took another step. that buck
stepped forward
He glared at the two 7th circle mages floating in the sky and said.
“You’d better give up the thought of returning here alive today.”
Roaring-!
As soon as the words were finished, two flame giants surged up.
Quaaaaaaa-!
Hyopo (哮咆) burst out.
one hundred each.
A total of 200 dwarves of flame scattered throughout the palace were merged into one, and it was a completed giant.
The protruding giant of flame blocks the retreat of the two wizards. Eight circles rotate in unison, pouring out a magnificent magical sound.
Woo-woo-!
“Aura South of the world. Swarm of butterflies that inhabit the land of flame.”
Did the inhabitants of the mythical age believe that there was a land made entirely of flames at the southern end of the world line?
The 8th circle magic that summons the fire there is the Flame Of Muspelheim.
It receives Daria’s magic and will and begins to transform into a completely different kind of figure.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality
Hwajeopdream.
Dozens and hundreds of butterflies flew all at once from the flames that rose along her shoulder.
“good-.”
Following Daria’s gesture, a swarm of butterflies split in two directions and attacked them at once.
Palak Palak-.
It was so fast that it was unbelievable that it was a butterfly. Besides, a butterfly made of the flames of Muspelheim, which is said to be a fire that never goes out.
To Blaine and Hypnos being attacked, it felt like a disaster worse than millions of locusts.
‘Kuh-.’
‘We have to block the front and break through the retreat in the back.’
It was the right choice.
Because it was much easier to destroy the giants in the back rather than face the 8th circle magic of butterflies.
If Daria hadn’t added another piece of magic to it…
I’m sure it would have been.
The moment Daria confirmed that the staggered shields appeared in front of the two wizards, Daria withdrew her outstretched fingers.
The moment you clenched your fists tightly.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
A group of butterflies clinging to the shield explodes, creating large and small spheres of flame.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality.
Rot Apple.
Rot, which means ‘rotten’, also implies the meaning of ‘red’ in the ancient language.
Guguaguaguagua!
It was an explosion in the form of a sphere, literally reminiscent of a red apple.
Explosion magic that explodes in all directions. A spell that compresses and compresses the magic power and fixes it inside certain coordinates.
Just as the normal 6th and 7th circle wizards have different ranks, the 7th and 8th circle were not the same.
It’s not even the ordinary 8th circle, it’s Daria who has glimpsed transcendence at least in part!
Kwareung Kwagwagwa-!
continuous bursts of noise.
Blaine’s shield shatters in the blink of an eye.
I don’t know if it’s Hypnos.
He, who had been devastated from the battle with Russell, did not have enough strength left to withstand Daria’s magic.
“—Kuh!”
The body was pushed all the way back by the flying shockwave, and in an instant. Two Hwa-Jubs (fire worms) dug into the gap.
Palak palak tak-.
It landed on Blaine’s shoulders with bright red wings.
“—!”
bang bang-!
An explosion reverberates continuously, and Blaine’s old body begins to fall from the place where the orb of flame disappeared.
His whole body turned to charcoal and burned black.
It wasn’t that he didn’t stop breathing because he was a strong man who had reached the level of a great wizard, but even if he died, it was no different.
No, even if you are alive, if you fall from that height to the ground, you will most likely die.
Regardless, Daria moved her fingers.
There were still prey left to kill.
I followed the movements of Hypnos with eyes overflowing with cold anger.
‘Damn it, even if I’m alone…’
In the meantime, the new model of Hypnos, which flew across the sky, escaped the giant’s hand and escaped Guinevere Palace.
right at that moment.
“omg!”
Hypnos, which had been rushing forward at high speed, suddenly stopped as if it had sensed something.
Wedge liquid spot!
Then, a skewer made of flame pierced the air in an oblique line from the sky to the ground.
If it hadn’t been for a sudden stop, the body would have been threaded on that skewer.
Right after that, Daria’s voice was heard.
“You thought you avoided it?”
Hearing that voice, Hypnos looked up at the sky inadvertently, and his body froze in place.
“…!!”
Clouds of flame covering the sky. Some of them are twisted and bent, and curled downward in the form of a spiral.
Hundreds of completed spiral spears were aiming at him tightly.
* * *
Ten and a few more minutes after that. It held up quite well, but that was it.
Whoop Whoop Whoop-!
Several spiral spears pierced Hypnos’ body.
A spear blade made of scorching clouds of fire.
The moment the tip of the spear penetrates, heat spreads along the melted skin.
Hwaaak!
The blood in his body began to evaporate, and bloody steam covered his entire body.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”
Hypnos, who fell to the floor, rolled his eyes and rolled around.
If it was an ordinary fire, a series of actions could have extinguished it.
However, even the spiral spear that pierced his body contained the power of Muspelheim.
“Keuk-!”
In the end, Hypnos, who realized that the fire could not be extinguished with ordinary methods, moved his magic.
Hwaaak-.
Black Spider’s grip.
Eight arms sprouted out of darkness from his back and grasped the bars of flame that penetrated his body.
Knock knock!
If I can’t pull it out, I’m going to pull it out with bars. But it wasn’t Daria who would watch it quietly.
As the hand of darkness grabbed the spear pole, it was frighteningly soft!
Several skewers threaded through his body again.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
The internal organs, which could not withstand the heat even though they were protected by magical powers, began to ripen.
Then, a foul-smelling black smoke rose from his mouth.
Feeling death approaching, Hypnos laughed as if he had lost his mind.
“Hehe. Phehehehe…”
He poured out curses as if in a fit of fuss with bloodshot eyes.
“With this… don’t think this is the end!”
“…?”
“The darkness is not over yet, and an even greater darkness remains. A day when the continent is covered in blood and darkness. The end of you…”
His words were not finished. Daria swung her sword before he could speak.
“That’s the line a typical third-rate villain would spit out while dying.”
The pure white flame that flowed from the fingertips cut Hypnos’ arms in the form of a sword.
Standing up-.
“Damn you bastard. I’ll cut off your limbs like this and let you tell me everything you know.”
Hypnos vomited a bloody cough in a cold voice that didn’t even feel the slightest bit of mercy.
“Cool…”
He raised the corner of his mouth with a mocking expression.
“Do you want to be together like that?”
“…?”
“Greuk!”
He didn’t even bite his tongue, but blood flowed from his mouth.
Then, soft parts such as the tongue and eyes began to melt at a rapid rate.
The time it took for Hypnos to turn into a handful of blood from the melting that started like that was literally a moment.
‘A kind of self-determination magic or forced death trigger…’
The death of Hypnos and a lump of charcoal wriggling on the floor. Seeing Blaine’s figure, Daria turned around.
With Hecate’s support, he approached Russell, who was collapsing on the floor.
“Hey. Are you okay…?”
“Yes….”
Thanks to hitting several bottles of potion, the pain was much less than before.
However, the almost exhausted mental strength was not something that could be recovered through potions.
‘There is nothing stored in Solomon’s crown…’
Even if I faint right away, there is nothing strange about fatigue.
Understanding that feeling as a fellow magician, Daria touched Russell’s forehead with the palm of her hand.
“The rest will be taken care of by this master. Let’s take a little…rest.”
The words that feel more reassuring than anything in the world suddenly drain the strength of the whole body.
Was it an illusion?
In the midst of that, one of the voices of Daria in the middle flowed into my distant ears.
“…my baby.”
dragon-swallowed wizard
