Episode 317 For a moment, her vision was covered with darkness, and the feeling of being thrown alone into a dark space with nothing came over Victoria.
– what?
Victoria, who was once again startled by the self-talk ringing in her head, hurriedly gathered herself to understand the situation.
It was a space where you could only think and not see or feel anything.
I was embarrassed and tried to look around, but my head wouldn’t turn.
Even if you try to feel in the thick darkness, you feel completely helpless, unable to even control your own body as your hands and feet do not move.
The feeling was truly terrible, as if my soul itself would be consumed by this dark space.
– Am I dead?
– Oh no. no. That can’t be possible!
– Argh!
I tried to scream from the endless fear, but not even the scream came out of my mouth.
A dark space where every moment feels like eternity.
If you continue like this, soon you won’t be able to think about anything.
Your soul will be swallowed up in that terrible void.
Victoria instinctively realized that fact and immediately concentrated her thoughts. As for what brought about this situation.
A demon that came out of nowhere. And the darkness that began with that hand gesture.
Although he had never seen or heard anything, the gray flow he could see was clearly magical power.
In that case, the darkness that poured out would also be magic.
There were two possibilities. Either I died instantly from that magic and ended up in hell, or that magic created this situation.
I didn’t even think about the former.
Confidence that I haven’t lived so wrongly that I would end up in hell is confidence, but if that were really the case, there was no reason to struggle.
– I’m going to live!
Victoria concentrated desperately to overcome this situation.
Then, a memory from my distant childhood passed through my mind.
– Oh brother. Do we really have to live like this? Can’t I follow mom and dad?
Let’s just die.
It was probably when I had barely recovered from suffering from the flu all winter.
When she barely opened her eyes and saw her brother trying to feed her his share of porridge, she had no choice but to say that. At that time, I thought that if I died and went to heaven, I would be able to meet my mom and dad again and live happily ever after.
When my brother heard those words, his expression was cruelly distorted.
But still, my brother didn’t get angry or scold me, but just answered in a calm voice.
– uh. I have to live.
– …why?
-There is no heaven where you go when you die.
– no! The priest said there was a heaven!
– Mom said that.
It was a nostalgic name.
The name of someone once thought to be the wisest person in the world.
And even now that I think about it, my mom was unusual.
– No matter how hard it is, no matter how much you want to die, people say that when you are in a situation where you will die, you want to live. That’s probably…
perhaps it’s something people instinctively know.
That what awaits after this life is not a comfortable rest, but something worse than this terrible life.
– That kind of thing…
Mom’s words that my older brother told me were persuasive enough for even my younger self to understand.
– So, I told you to live no matter how miserable it is or how hard it is.
However, apart from being understandable, one fact that was clearly revealed gave me another shock as a child.
– …So I can’t see my mom and dad anymore?
– …huh.
I think I was probably in tears at that time.
No, I think I cried.
Because my only hope of meeting my mom and dad is gone.
Because it was hard.
Because it hurt.
Because I’m so tired.
– Why!? why!
But then my brother’s thin arms caught my eye.
– Mom and Dad told me to live. So let’s survive somehow, Lia.
Even at that moment, my brother’s arms were trying to feed me porridge with hands that were shaking because he was hungry.
– My brother… I will protect you somehow.
It was a life lived through the utmost sacrifice and dedication of the family.
In that harsh life, I met a benefactor by chance and gained hope, and only then was I able to live a normal life with hope.
– How have you lived your life?
– How did you get this opportunity?
– I can’t die!
Resentment and hope that run through life.
It protected the soul from being consumed by darkness. He began to shine his own light more brightly in the darkness that was trying to color his soul.
And the soul’s potential, which had been raised even further, began to analyze the flow of magic power and its patterns that were now imprinted on the soul by the gestures of the devil that had put him in this situation.
As the analysis became more and more complete, the senses that had been lost came back into control, albeit faintly.
However, Victoria, the person involved, did not even properly recognize the situation. It was hectic just trying to fully control the dark brown ‘Mana force’ that had finally begun to dwell in his soul.
‘I’m in trouble.’
Luisa frowned as she confirmed that the Dark Sky Barrier had completely covered the unexpected disruptor.
Thanks to this, the face of the magical body overlaid on the body by the devil’s appearance was distorted in a hideous manner, but since no one was watching, it was not worth worrying about.
The problem was that the three spells prepared to instantly subdue the mage were activated against the wrong target.
Her secret technique is the development of Macro magic, the tower’s vision. This time, the multiple magic linkages that can be activated with just a simple trigger actually held her back.
Demon manifestation in the Dark Heaven Barrier and ‘soul pollution’ added to the Dark Heaven Barrier.
With these spells, you can instantly subdue and brainwash a mage. All three are the highest level of magic among the tower’s 6-circle magic, and are among the tower’s secret techniques that only a tower mage can unleash, dealing with the attributes of ‘soul’ and ‘dimension’, which are high-level attributes unknown to wizards of this era. Because it was a biggie.
‘So that’s the problem. shit.’
It is a magic that even she, a mage, cannot easily use unless she prepares thoroughly in advance.
It was a mistake to set ‘battle’ as the trigger because I was confident that I would not be discovered by anyone until I met the mage of McLane. Because the disruptor was skilled enough to not be able to escape just by dodging.
“What the hell is this…”
A terrifying demonic figure glared at the disruptor trapped in the black fog.
He looked very young, and not only did he use 5th circle level magic, he even saw through the tower’s vision of the perception-impairing magic.
In addition, although the noise was blocked with a barrier, the problem was that the walls were blown through by the opponent’s ignorant magic, which seemed to use the magic tower building itself as material.
It would have been possible to add illusion magic, but with three 6-circle magic already in use, the noise-blocking barrier was still maintained.
It was too much for her to add another magic there.
at last.
Beep!
– There is a problem with the tower!
Luisa couldn’t help but frown as she noticed noises coming from all over the ground below the tower.
‘Can not help it. ‘I have no choice but to step down now.’
It won’t be a big problem.
This person who was the only one who found himself in the way would have no memory, and since there were no victims, it would be treated as a simple accident.
Luisa’s eyes turned to the black fog that was gradually shrinking in size.
A sign that the magic is coming to an end.
‘Well, since he is a talented wizard, he must be an important person. He’s probably a mage’s disciple. It may take a while, though.’
There is no wizard in this era who can see through the tower’s magic.
If I had to really ask, would it only be possible at the level of the imperial family?
In this small kingdom, it would be impossible.
Of course, no matter how great magic is, perfect brainwashing will be impossible as it is a method that pollutes the soul in an instant.
However, in this case, it was more dangerous to be completely brainwashed. All of a sudden, your usual behavior will become strange.
It’s just enough to cause one accident or another.
‘It’s lower than the original goal… but if a favorite student causes trouble and the king and the mage come into conflict, that will be enough.’
– It’s upstairs!
As the voices coming from downstairs got closer and closer, Luisa had no choice but to swallow her regret and turn around.
But at that moment.
A huge brown fist appeared in her field of vision.
Wow!
– Wow!
A female demon or something?
Victoria, who had torn through the black fog, frowned at the enemy who was still grotesque but was letting out a high, sharp scream.
“Catch him! If you can’t, kill him!”
And in response to her shout, or rather, her will, the 3m tall golem was shot straight at the demon that was thrown out of the tower.
Unlike ordinary golems, which are strong but move somewhat heavy, their movements were full of elasticity. The speed was fast enough to remind me of Wicken Callia, the kingdom’s famous superhuman.
The golem shot out like lightning and swung its huge fist.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
It was a powerful attack that created a crater with a radius of over 3 meters on the ground.
Although there was no sign of the enemy in the trail of destruction, Victoria was glad that the bastard had not been killed in one blow.
Ugh.
Six circles pulsating from the heart.
Because he was a worthy opponent to properly use the power I had just awakened.
I had already confirmed one thing.
‘also. It doesn’t have to be a wind attribute.’
The stairs of the tower I stood on. And I could clearly feel the sense of the earth connected through the tower.
As long as it is within the range of your magical power, you can control the battle golem from a long distance without the wind attribute like your teacher.
‘Of course, the scope is narrower than that of Master.’
‘Attribute Enhancement’ obtained through awakening. The power of the golem created by the magic power of a single attribute more than made up for its shortcomings.
Wow!
Rumbling.
Victoria’s heart swelled with pride at the sight of a powerful golem, whose speed was reminiscent of the storm sword Wicken Callia and whose power was reminiscent of the great power fighter Luthor Kyle, chasing down the enemy and continuing to feast on destruction.
That wasn’t the end.
From the time she first entered the Golem School’s magic, her specialty was handling multiple golems. Even at the same level, the number of golems was so large that the executioners could never catch up.
“You can’t run away!”
As the magic power spread through the ground according to her will, the ground right in front of the retreating demon rose and another golem popped out.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
– evil!
The enemy, blocked by the sudden attack, vomited blood and was thrown back.
Immediately after awakening, sweat was forming on my forehead, probably because I used too much magical power, but at that moment, it wasn’t difficult at all.
“Gotcha!”
The moment Victoria cheered.
– dare!
A gray mist burst out from the fallen demon’s body and quickly spread around.
Quang!
Kwasik.
Rumbling.
A series of loud noises erupted from the thick fog.
“this…!?”
Magic pouring out of the fog.
Victoria’s senses felt that the golems, who had lost their goal for a moment, were confused and attacked one-sidedly.
but.
‘Don’t miss it!’
When I closed my eyes and concentrated again, I caught the location of the opponent standing on the ground.
He ordered the golems to attack again at that location, but at that moment, he felt something climbing the wall of the tower and coming toward him.
A soundless movement that could be felt because the surrounding earth and everything connected to the earth were within the sensory sphere.
thud.
“Tch!”
Gritting her teeth, Victoria’s magic moved in another pattern.
Then, the wall of the Magic Tower turned into a huge stone window and pierced through something that was climbing.
Fuuuuk.
Kwasik.
Kwazijic.
– Kyaaaaaaa!
The gray fog disappeared with a sharp scream.
– Kieek.
Cooung.
Rumbling.
‘Was the attack successful?’
As Victoria immediately looked down at the bottom of the tower, the first thing she saw was the sight of a huge gray snake falling to the bottom of the tower, spraying black blood, disappearing in a blur along with the blood.
Behind him, he saw the collapsed remains of his golems and the devastated expressions of the knights who came in late.
But the most important thing was missing.
“Tch.”
I missed the enemy.
However, although Victoria’s eyes were angry, they did not contain any regret. Even though he may have achieved his victory through a surprise attack, he was already aware that he was a superior opponent to himself, who had just become a mage.
More than anything.
‘I definitely felt it through the sense of the earth. It’s not a devil. The figure inside was clearly…’
Because I could roughly guess who the enemy was.
