Episode 158. The sin of anger and the decisive battle
A red flower bloomed over the pure white snowy landscape.
“Kheuheouk!”
The person who coldly looked down at the mighty men dying heroically looked around.
The surroundings were all stained with blood, and men in black like him stood there.
“Why the hell am I….”
The only child who survived looked at them with eyes that did not understand.
However, ignoring the child’s words, the black people moved quickly.
“Now that we have secured our target, we withdraw. Previously….”
They decorated the corpses they had prepared in advance.
Corpses dressed in imperial attire were quickly decorated as if they had died fighting barbarians.
“I will leave as soon as the preservation magic is dispelled.”
Eventually, the black magicians who came with him canceled the preservation magic on the corpse and left immediately.
The black people who took the child and left the place soon used a teleport using a previously prepared magic circle nearby. Considering the high cost of teleportation, it was clear that they were not ordinary people.
The moved place was a temporary shelter not too far away.
The black people who were teleported to a small hut building immediately handed the child to those who were waiting in advance.
“Whoa! You finally succeeded! I thought I was going to die of frustration after being in hiding for almost a month.”
The black magician who took off his black hood and canceled the preservation magic on the corpse shouted.
Then, the man who seemed to be the captain of the black man held out his hand without a word.
The warlock waved his hand frivolously at the gesture, as if asking for something.
“Isn’t there such a thing as friendship that has been built up over the years? Can’t you just say that you did a good job?”
“The operation is over. Pay your wages.”
“wait. Because Hegel-sama will be coming soon.”
At the same time as he finished speaking, someone appeared through a teleportation magic circle.
It was Hegel in a black tuxedo and fedora.
He must have been in the snow, too, with a shallow layer of pure white snow on his hat.
“Good work.”
“Thanks to Master Hegel’s manning the warchief, the job was easy. lol.”
While the black magician was groaning, Hegel took out a heavy bag from the subspace artifact and threw it at the black man.
Then, with the sound of metal crashing, the bag was grabbed by the black man.
Opening the sack to check the contents, he nodded.
“Has confirmed.”
“Tell Fade that the meeting will be held soon.”
“I will deliver it as soon as I get back. Enough then.”
Hagel nodded and the man led the men in black out of the cabin.
As the mercenaries in black left, the remaining black magicians and Hegel saw the dragged boy.
“How old are you?”
The child answered Hegel’s question obediently.
“Eight years old.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“I am not afraid at all. Soon my father will come and kill all of you!”
The child rather raised her eyes and glared at Hegel.
Hegel, who looked at her with a smile and seemed delighted, gestured.
“Wash up before you go. Handle with care if you can.”
“Yes, Mr. Hegel.”
“As expected, ‘anger’ is different. It might be worth experimenting with.”
Hegel, who watched as the child struggled and was dragged away, spoke to the other subordinates.
He did not participate in the operation and was waiting here in advance.
“Did nothing happen?”
“It has been confirmed that Morne’s faction, which you told me to monitor, is in contact with Fade.”
“Who contacted you?”
“This is Quenton Brook, Morne’s second-in-class apprentice.”
“I couldn’t have stayed still.”
Heigel nodded as it was expected.
The subordinate cautiously asked Hegel.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“Adrias Cromwell.”
“It’s the best scenario not to die, but if you die, it doesn’t matter because I have something planned. Anyway, I wonder what Quenton did.”
“sorry. I couldn’t figure it out until now. Fade is also in a neutral position on this matter, so he doesn’t allow any more information than this… ….”
“Okay. First of all, the handling of anger comes first, so call the meeting first. There seems to be a feeling that meetings are often held.”
Hegel brushed off the snow on his clothes and moved on.
“Send an invitation to Adrias, of course. If Adrias can attend this meeting… ….”
His shadow shimmered and changed into a smiley face.
“It will be a pretty usable hand.”
* * *
As before, the Chaos Mimic pulled out one arm that shook as if it were engulfed in black flames.
As if one hand was enough, I realized that the first thing to do was to take the main body out of the box.
I immediately pulled out Galaksur and shouted to Diene.
“Dene. Think that you will endure unconditionally and run away.”
Soon after, the arm of the moving Chaos Mimic stretched freely.
Among the students around, those who had already dealt with them ran away, but the rest tried to face them with a childlike expression.
“Back off!”
Diene shouted and brought out the roar of dawn, but these were the students of Rodlen Academy, who had been called elite in their own right. Among them, since they belong to the upper grades, their pride was strong.
“We are wizards too!”
Someone shouted and deployed a spell.
It’s definitely not a magic that’s like a joke, but an intermediate level magic that feels powerful magical power.
The magic that was launched soon flew to the Chaos Mimic, but when it touched the flaming arm, it disappeared as if it never existed.
“iced coffee….”
The students, who had finally seen the abilities of the outrageous monster with their own eyes, began to back away.
However, the Chaos Mimic was not easy enough to let go of the one who attacked it.
―Kuuuu… ….
The arms that were stretched in an instant approached the students as if they were scratching them.
“I’m going to use the space shift, so don’t resist!”
Soon after, Diene cried out and used her magic.
Then, space movement magic was used in the place where the students were, and it was confirmed that the attack of the Chaos Mimic was missed by a narrow margin.
‘A lure I hadn’t even thought of. Rather, it worked out.’
In the meantime, I was able to run to the vicinity of the box where the main body was hiding.
I tried to lure him with Diene’s Roar of Dawn, but even if I went to Moro, it was enough as long as I reached the goal.
―Quad&”#@”@!
As I got closer to the box, the black box wriggled and another arm came out.
Kwajik!
Galak’sur blocked his arms and roared.
Along with that, the originally white blade began to shine.
[Additional damage is dealt to the beast.]
[Additional damage is dealt to the dark attribute.]
Along with an unexpected bonus, a sound as if being burned by fire arose from the sword.
Chi profit.
―Qui$%!”@&
The Chaos Mimic’s arm wriggled in visibly painful pain.
“Do you like it?”
Of course, it was too early to be relieved.
There was no sense of danger because the main body hadn’t come out yet, but I knew that the moment the main body came out, the moment the blood would dry
would come.
Ugh!
Diene’s staff radiated light from afar.
It was a Chaos Mimic that did not work with magic, but it fired magic one after another as if provoking it.
Kwagwa-Gwang-!
Mana dissipated, but the physical force applied as the surroundings were destroyed was enough for the Chaos Mimic. It was able to deal damage. However, the Chaos Mimic’s arm was intact even after most shocks, so Diene’s attack did not seem to be effective
. Kwajijik
!
It was boiling, but it could no longer approach the box.
“Diene! Adrias! The professors are here!”
At that moment, one of the students who had fled ran and shouted,
and at the same time, Tolman appeared, wearing thick gauntlets on both hands, and quickly dug between Diene and the Chaos
Mimic
.
It seemed that he was quite shocked by the way he clenched and opened his fists,
but I was a little relieved because Tolman was quite helpful
.
“Yes. Adrias rather than me…”
She pointed at me, still holding the sword against the arm of the Chaos Mimic, and then explained,
“It doesn’t work with magic. It has the peculiar property of absorbing all mana.”
“That’s why my attack didn’t work. Okay.”
Tolman immediately shouted at me,
“Student Adrias. Can you hold on?”
“yes.”
“Then I will trust you.”
With those words, Tolman endowed himself with magic and ran out in an instant.
His magic was his unique technique combined with martial arts. That’s
why it wasn’t long before he received the title of Warlock .
I know.’
The speed and movement that could be called a knight burst out, and soon he approached the box where his arms were connected.
Seeing that he immediately grasped the area to aim for, it was clear that he was an excellent battle
mage .
The speed at which the arm of the Chaos Mimic came back was faster than it was moving.
The hand of the Chaos Mimic shrank with a huge shockwave.
The shock that Tolman received was also formidable, so he stepped back all the way, but compared to the grotesquely twisted Chaos Mimic, it was a man
. This is not it.”
As if the Chaos Mimic felt the danger, even the arm that was dealing with me turned its attention to Tolman,
“Student Diene. Please use space movement magic on me. It’s to confuse the enemy, so it doesn’t matter where you are.” Diane
, who
heard Tolman’s words, immediately used magic without answering.
The situation was so fast that there was no time to answer each one.
Ugh!
But Diene’s magic didn’t end there
. Ugh!
Did you say that if you want to fool your enemies, you have to fool your allies too?
Space movement magic was not the end once.
―Kuimuru#[email protected]%
The moment the arms chasing Tolman lost consciousness, Tolman, who had moved to the back of the box, stabbed the regime as it was.
Aaaaang—-!
A huge explosion erupted.
It seemed like it was over, but unfortunately, the true value of the Chaos Mimic was revealed after the main body was revealed.
And in the meantime, I prepared for the body separately.
‘Thanks to Tolman, I bought time.’
While Tolman drew attention, he could secretly use his magic without anyone noticing.
With this, the Chaos Mimic can be captured somehow.
At first, I was thinking of luring the Chaos Mimic with the Roar of Dawn, but it didn’t matter anyway.
The important thing is to take out the body.
And that’s what Tolman has done now.
―Keuk[email protected]Jiki&!”#겍
“What the heck is this…….”
The box was intact.
Tolman’s attack aimed precisely at the box, but it was not even damaged because something black surrounded it.
‘The main body of the Chaos Mimic.’
It was a bizarre shape.
The appearance of an octopus-like appearance that does not resemble any other creature.
―Ky&%!Yeei$!#
The main body of the Chaos Mimic with a total of 13 arms reveals a huge torso and countless eyes attached to the body. I expected it,
but Tolman and Diane seemed shocked.
Well, even though they did that shit with two arms, it wouldn’t be very nice to find out that it was a monster with 13 arms.
” .”
I told someone secretly and ran, holding Galaksur by the tail.
“Student Adrias? It’s dangerous!”
Tolman’s urgent cry was heard, and at the same time the arms of the 13 Chaos Mimics began to move
.
