Episode 364 God’s Counterfeit (2)
Ugh!
The resonant sound continued for a long time and the magic tool vibrated.
As he narrowly left his body, the elves’ eyes showed concern.
The danger of magic tools is so great that if it goes wrong once, the balance of the whole world can be upset.
That’s why the elves are checking it periodically.
In the past, there was a time when the magic tool was shaken.
It was an embarrassingly short moment to call it a mistake, but in that moment, an imbalance that they couldn’t handle was brought about.
So if you’re not careful, it could happen again.
Aira hardened her expression while looking at the vibrating magic tool.
“It takes longer than usual.”
Fixed magic and suppression magic are more complicated than I thought, and mana control is difficult.
It was a delicate work as it had to unfold the two at the same time, but it was not something that would take this much time.
The dark elf was sweating profusely with his hand on the altar.
Feeling that something was wrong, Aira quickly checked the condition of the altar.
In the middle of the elegant altar, a magic tool is shining.
But it was a bit strange.
Mana, which should be gathered in magic tools, was leaking from the altar.
That means the magic didn’t work properly.
‘There’s no way that anyone else and the high elves failed their magic. If that’s the case, it’d be better to say that the magic tools and altars cast off magic.’
Perhaps the Dark Elves were anxious to solve it.
Percussion—!
Aira pushed her body away and at the same time placed both hands on the altar.
It was almost miraculous to see the Dark Elves blocking the mana flow and controlling the mana of the altar in an instant.
Even the dark elves who were pushed out were bewildered.
Hana Aira was not relaxed enough to check her expression.
In the magic tool, mana is constantly taken away, and if you try to manifest magic, the suppression magic engraved on the altar works and interferes.
No matter how much she has an ability that no one can match when it comes to the study of magic, it is a bit unreasonable to express magic while taking care not to get swept away by magic tools and making mistakes.
If you forcibly pour mana, you don’t know what the magic tool will do again, but if you focus on the magic tool, the suppression magic doesn’t manifest, so you can’t even eat porridge.
‘It must be difficult.’
A drop of sweat ran down the side of Aira’s beautiful face.
The Dark Elf’s lips trembled.
“…Magic tools and altars are absorbing mana. It’s like it’s hungry, at a terrifying rate… I don’t know what the hell is going on.”

Corpse Woman finally met a disastrous end at the hands of the lich.
Richie, who was furious with his daughter’s enemy and ran amok all the way, looked quite grotesque.
Ray sat for a moment in front of the woman’s corpse.
Seeing him sleeping peacefully, bleeding profusely, he must have finally been able to rest properly.
After a moment of silence, Ray reached out and slit her forehead.
Then, a piece of black bone popped out.
If you are a normal person, just being close to it is enough to melt your body.
Perhaps this was the medium that manipulated the woman.
Holding it in her hand, Ray rose from her seat.
“Rest in peace now.”
He left the woman, now a mere corpse.
When she, who could be said to be the leader of the corpses, disappeared, the Lich’s undead army was enough to deal with the remaining corpses.
Of course, the difference in numbers, the command of the troops, and the magic power of the lich should come first, but even that much would buy enough time for the magician corps of the Holy Kingdom to recover their colors again.
Ray spoke to the lich who was tearing up and touching the undead queen.
“Do you know what this is?”
As he spoke, he held out a piece of bone.
Then, Richie’s complexion, which was only unsightly, changed at once.
‘It’s held in the hands of the Lord and is quite restrained, but it’s unmistakably the remains of a demon.’
He carefully accepted the bone fragment.
Then, a considerable amount of demonic energy erupted from the bone fragment that escaped from Ray’s hand and was released from control.
Richie saw it and was convinced.
“…This is a treasure trove for warlocks. To put it simply, it is the remains of a demon.”
“A demon?”
Ray frowned.
As for the demons, they were known to have all disappeared in the great wars of the past.
But why are demons suddenly appearing?
Richie read his expression and replied.
“Certainly, many of the demons were destroyed. Hundreds of years ago, I was traveling the continent with Master and personally destroying their corpses, so I’m sure.”
Then, the bone in front of the eyes is one of them.
In black magic, it is important that the object used as the original medium is important.
Dragon bones and scaly hearts are the best, but demon bones are also of a high quality that cannot be ignored.
For example, wasn’t the body just like the one made?
Ray muttered with a serious face.
“This much for just one small piece of bone…”
If you use a whole shinbone, the destruction of the continent will be possible.
I was in awe of the existence of the Demon Tribe all over again.
So, in the past, the continent could not have escaped destruction.
Richie’s hand gripped the bone trembled.
“Rod, I dare to ask you a favor.”
“What?”
“Give me this bone fragment.”
Ray’s expression darkened slightly.
No matter how much he follows himself now, he was the head of an organization called Proxia in the past.
If he made up his mind, he might try to create an existence that is worse than the demons, let alone the Bone Dragon.
Looking at him suspiciously, the lich waved his hand in horror.
“It is unreasonable to rebel against Lord, the master and servant of magic. It’s just…”
The gaze sneakily turned to the undead queen.
Ray also looked at her(?).
The body, which was nothing but bones, was languidly dry.
He was casting an earnest glance at himself as to what he was waiting for so pathetically.
“…”
He glanced at the bone fragments.
Then, the gaze that can only be felt is more intense.
now i get it
The Lich and the Undead Queen wanted the demon’s bone fragments.
“It is the wish of my life.”
When the lich, who must have died hundreds of times in his life, made a wish for a lifetime, it was absurd.
However, Richie’s earnestness was, in a way, natural.
She is an undead queen who has been with her for hundreds of years.
Now, instead of just being an undead soldier, he had affection like that of a daughter.
However, the daughter’s neck bone was blown off.
What parent in the world could not mourn this!
In a moment of carelessness, he was attacked by a corpse woman, and he has not yet been able to find a single piece.
However, when a piece of a demonic bone, which looked beautiful even at first sight, was pushed in, Rich was seized by an unbearable desire.
Ray shook his head.
“Now there is no one to grant wishes, so it seems that Richie’s wishes are also granted. take it.”
“Thank you Rod! I will repay this favor for the rest of my life! If you don’t mind, how about the Magic Tower?”
“be not interested in.”
“yes.”
The lich carefully lifted the bone fragment and approached the undead queen.
Carefully take the demon’s bone towards her from behind.
Tremble—
even the world’s riches seemed to be thrilled at this moment.
The undead queen discreetly revealed her neck like a bride receiving a necklace.
I didn’t want to ask why there was flesh between the vertebrae of the neck.
The demon’s bone fragment in the lich’s hand finally stuck to the back of the undead queen’s neck.
The size was also exquisite, and it fit perfectly, as if it had been part of it from the beginning.
Tak-!
The undead queen trembled with the sound of attachment.
The demonic energy formed like a shallow mist began to rise, and soon the dark light burst out.
Koo Goo Goong—!
As the ground trembled accordingly, all undead soldiers stopped fighting and instantly became frozen.
Ray and Rich looked at her.
Where did the undead queen, who had only bones, go, and there was only one pale woman with ice-cold skin.
The elegantly raised nose and deep eyes faithfully met the conditions of beauty.
In an unexpected situation, the woman who had just been an undead queen opened her mouth and let out her first breath.
“Haa…”
His unique demonic energy froze the air.
At that moment, the undead soldiers bowed their heads towards the new queen.
Koo-ung! thump-!
Amid the awe and admiration of the undead, the undead queen stands up.
Her tall and straight body, which made it impossible to think of it as an undead, made her stand out even more.
Demon’s Bone.
As part of the entire body of the demon tribe, which had accumulated mighty demonic energy over the course of a long time, permeated, the undead queen, who had lived for hundreds of years and had a sense of self, finally got a body.
As the lich, who had been watching the scene, couldn’t open his words and just looked at her, the undead queen approached the lich and bowed her head.
“I am seeing my father for the first time.”
Her voice, as beautiful as her appearance, rang in my ears.
In the end, Richie couldn’t hold back and shed tears.
“Daughter…”
“I can finally say that I have no regrets now that I can see my father with a body as an undead.”
“Hehehehehe…”
Richie, who looked like he was in his early twenties, shed tears like chicken droppings, forgetting about his age.
Even a runny nose was flowing, but to be honest, it was a little hard to see.
Ray looked at her curiously.
Although the bones of demons are a medium that has a great influence on black magic, I didn’t know that they could turn a hundred-year-old undead into a full-fledged creature.
Although he had been here for more than twenty years, there were still many things he did not know.
As he stared at him, the undead queen looked at Ray with cold eyes.
Then, he gathers demons in the air and pulls out his staff.
“A man who was rude to his father! I will rip you limb from limb first!”
Her eyes were burning with anger as if she had met the enemy of the mortal world.
“Eh?”
Richie’s expression, which shed tears and liked until just now, became contemplative at once.
