Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 591
Spirit Growth Promoting Ritual (2)
“What did the shamans of the mysterious palace ride on… … What does it matter?”
Unlike Mila, who tilted her head in bewilderment, Cassia immediately realized the meaning and exclaimed.
Even the subway… … ! okay!”
“The subway operated by the municipal government passes under the Rabatenon University. They say that the way the shaman infiltrated them also used this.”
As Lennok said, he opened the map inside the university he had brought from the lab.
“The train they must have been on. We will ride it upside down and escape out of the university.”
“Ah, yes. After all, they must have left at least a means to escape after work is over.”
Mila belatedly understood Lennok’s words and nodded.
Mila quickly measured the distance on the map with her eyes and raised her head.
“It’s not too far from the Elementary School’s lecture hall. You’ll be there in 10 minutes on foot.”
“There are more than five stations where you can take the subway in the school. Pick one of them, occupy it, and take over the subway.”
So said Lennok, pointing to the lecture hall where the students were resting.
Cassia asked with a puzzled expression.
“What should students do? If dozens of people make their way to the railway station, they will definitely be noticed.”
“I will pretend to move to another railway station and draw attention by moving first.”
Lennok answered right away.
“If you distract the other shamans, you might be able to make room for the students to move around. Mila, can you help me?”
“It’s not difficult to help, but…There are two problems.”
Mila said as she raised her finger.
“one. What if the railroad the shaman came on doesn’t stop at the station we’re occupying?”
“I have a way to call you.”
It shouldn’t be that difficult to hack the subway system through Darby itself.
Concealing the process wasn’t too difficult for Lennok either.
“…good. Then second. What are you going to do about going to find the head of the Goddess of Ghosts?”
“I have a method for that too.”
“Ahahahaha!!”
Milla burst into laughter at Lennox’s nonchalant reply.
With a shotgun slung over her shoulder, she grinned and nodded.
“If our assistant professor’s confidence is that level, it will work somehow. good. Let’s get started.”
* * *
Underground railway station inside Rabatenon College of Magic. A scene of the station with thick fog in the quiet air.
Beyond the fog, dozens of students quietly climbed the stairs of the transfer gate, crouching on their heels.
The appearance of the students who are all nervous and stiff faces, someone carrying an injured person on their back, suppressing tension and fear while moving their steps.
The face of Cassia, who is searching for a way in front of such students, is also faintly stiff.
“…If you go down this way, you will see a railroad transfer.”
Cassia whispered quietly to the students following, and turned her head slightly.
“Hide as long as you can and hold out until Assistant Professor Evan drives the train. got it?”
“That Assistant Professor Cassia…?”
“what’s the matter?”
Looking back at the student who asked her question, Cassia noticed that the eyes of the other students were all focused on her head.
profit!!
At the same time, I felt a tingling sensation on my shoulder.
The green liquid dripping from the station’s ceiling was melting her clothes and burning Cassia’s skin.
“….”
Cassia, forgetting even the pain and looking up with a pale complexion.
A spider the size of a man clung to the wall of the station stairway, glaring down at them dripping green saliva.
“It looks like they’ve already been caught….”
“…run!!”
Cassia jumped up, clutching her injured shoulder, and started running, pushing the students’ backs forward.
“Please, please, no spiders…!!”
“It’s creepy, really!!”
“If you get caught, you will be cocooned alive!”
ride on it!!
Students running down the stairs quickly with pale complexions.
The spider, dripping green saliva and tilting its head, quickly came down the stairs and stood in front of the students.
A three-dimensional maneuverability that is impossible to even match that speed with the main power of ordinary humans.
The moment when the spider, which gnawed its eight slender legs and gathered a lot of web at the end of its tail, was about to stretch the web to the students.
A bright blue thunderbolt flashed above the heads of the students.
dismissal… … !!
The spider’s lower belly bursts at the thunderbolt stem shot like an arrow, and the spider’s web flows out.
[Kieek!!]
Realizing belatedly that his lower body had been crushed, the spider let out a sharp scream.
“Woo-wook…!!”
Someone couldn’t stand the strange sight and tried to pour out their insides, but something that noticed it flew like lightning and struck the student in the back of the head.
baek!!
“Ooooh!!”
The male student raised his head with a dumbfounded expression as his stomach sank.
“Dabi?”
A dazzling indigo glow in the shape of a fox cub.
Seeing the student like that, Darby raised his chin, raised his forepaw, and confidently pointed down the stairs.
“…go?”
Nod.
“okay. Hey, but your hands are hotter than you think?”
When the student who grumbled and hugged Darby started walking in the lead, Darby released a lightning bolt and illuminated the inside of the station.
“Are you okay with not being with assistant professor Evan? Without you, assistant professor… … ?”
Shaking my head.
“It’s fine. Then why are you staying with us like this?”
Nod.
“thank you. In the future, I will often buy snacks for the spirits.”
snap.
“What did you like about this? Are you sure you have more likes and dislikes than you think?”
The look of Darby ignoring the question with his head turned away.
While the students were giggling and quietly whispering to Darby, the group arrived at the railroad interchange.
Passageway with metal rails between dark cavities. There is not even a single light to rely on, except for the magic light that subtly emanates from Darby’s body.
“I’ll have to hide until assistant professor Evan comes.”
“Assistant Professor Cassia, the management office is open here.”
“Oh yeah? Just fine… … .”
Cassia, who naturally tried to look away after saying that, was speechless.
She realized that the fact that the door to the management office was open at this time could never be a positive sign.
The student who held the doorknob in the management office also noticed something strange, and his expression changed dramatically.
“…what?”
The moment the student took a step back after checking the white sticky bundle of cobwebs on the doorknob.
Kwaaaaang!!
The door to the management office opened wide, and dozens of spiders jumped out from inside.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
It wasn’t a single spider spirit guarding this station.
Dozens of spiders, unknown how they had been gathered in the management office, popped out, scattered spider webs, and tied the bodies of the students to the train station floor and pillar walls in an instant.
[Kieeh.]
“Hee hee hee…!!”
Seeing the spiders dripping green saliva right in front of them, the students’ faces turned blue.
[Your brain isn’t like a magic school student.]
A disparate voice was heard from beyond the dark aisle lined with railroad rails.
Aaaah!!
A gigantic spider the size of a medium-sized tank crawls out of the aisle floor, seemingly several times the size of the spiders that caught and tied the students up.
[Did you really think we wouldn’t be guarding the subway?]
“Ugh….”
The tank spider stopped in front of Cassia, who was frowning in distress. A shaman wearing a spider’s mask descended from above and stood in front of her.
[If you’re going to rely on luck, it’s too late. All of you are already destined to be chosen as sacrifices in our offering ceremony… … .]
Taaang!!
Along with the sudden sound of gunfire, the witch doctor’s body trembled on the spot.
“fate?”
Mila asked nonchalantly, holding a shotgun with smoke billowing from behind the shaman’s back.
“Do you bastard called a wizard believe that?”
[Pray…I’m not a wizard to eat… … !!]
Mila kicked the shaman’s head and knocked him unconscious, quickly tying the shaman’s body to a pole with the same spider web.
“If you kill it, the spirits may go berserk, so make sure to stun them first.”
“…Isn’t it greedy to want to be alive after firing a shotgun behind your back?”
At Cassia’s absurd words, Mila shook her head.
“Mages these days are strong, so it’s okay. After hitting it a few times, it didn’t even fit.”
“….”
Mila, who gave nonsensical answers based on her extremely personal experience, took out a dagger from her arms and began cutting the spider webs one by one.
“I’m sorry, mercenary, but could you release me quickly….”
“Wait a little. No, why isn’t this cut like this?”
“Those spiders are stationary now, but I don’t think it would be strange if they move again sometime.”
“Are you okay…Eh?”
The moment Mila raised her head in response to Cassia’s question.
Realizing that the figure of the shaman he had tied up earlier was nowhere to be seen, he stopped his hand.
As I turned my gaze along the direction the web had flowed, I saw a tank spider stopped on a railroad rail.
The body of the sorcerer being chewed alive in the mouth of the tank spider, which only mumbles without any movement.
“….”
[…] … .]
The moment Mila and the tank spider’s green eyes met.
The green eyes of the tank spider that ate its owner soon became bloodshot and began to glow red.
[Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of
me of of the people of the dozen people sized spiders who had stopped at the same time started to move as if they had woken up from sleep)
At the same time, they opened their mouths wide as if they were going to eat the students tied up with spider webs at any moment.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Hey mercenary!!”
“Wait, I’ll release you right away… … !!”
Mila, who was cutting the spider web while sweating profusely, raised her head as if she remembered something.
“Wait a minute!! Come to think of it, it seems that Evan’s spirit was also here just before… … !!”
Pajijiji!!
At that moment, a bright blue thunderbolt flashed in the management office, burning all the spider webs spread all over the railway station.
The release of thunderbolts that did not harm the human body and burned away only the cobwebs to the extent that the grunting appearance just before was colorless.
The moment when the students jumped up from their seats and turned their eyes toward the management office.
The image of the fox spirit standing tall and holding onto the instrument panel in the management office with both forepaws was clearly reflected.
“Dabi!!”
[Eh!]
As soon as you look at the fox spirit, the tank spider spirit is screaming and crawling into the railway station.
Saliva trickles down from its mouth, and it frantically spews cobwebs from between its limbs.
She was blatantly gluttonous, as if she couldn’t bear to eat that little spirit right away.
However, instead of backing down when Darby saw the tank spider’s seizure, he blatantly snorted.
Dismissed!!
The direction of the rail inside the subway is changed by the electric signal sent by the brain spirit to the instrument panel in the management office.
On the other side of the dark rail, a light flashed at the same time as a faint vibration.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The huge train car that rushed in from the inside of the aisle in an instant rammed the new model of the tank spider from the side.
The impact severed all of the Tank Spider Spirit’s arms and legs, and the body was crushed and exploded, scattering spider webs like a fountain.
[Kkeueek!!! Kihehehe!!]
The image of a spider spirit floundering, screaming desperately enough to make it hard to hear even with both ears covered.
However, they are helplessly crushed by the weight of the train, which advances relentlessly and suppresses the impact.
Kiki profit!!
After completely crushing and tearing the spirits apart, the train that stepped on the brakes barely stops at the end of the station.
In front of the driver’s window of a train car, covered in cobwebs and unknown bodily fluids.
“Am I a little late?”
Lennok was standing behind the wheel, waving to the students.
