Chapter 194
The battle between Thunderbird and Charles became more and more intense.
The Thunderbirds continued to strike with thunderbolts, emitting electric currents and onslaughts.
Charles blocks the Thunderbird’s attack casually.
It was as if a spear that pierced anything and a shield that blocked anything collided.
The battle was so intense that the aftermath could be felt even to me, who was quite distant.
Pajijijik!
A portion of the missed blade of lightning bounced back at me.
I quickly opened the barrier and blocked it. A massive shock hit the barrier.
The power was so strong that both hands supporting the barrier felt numb.
‘Still, it’s not to the extent that I can’t stop it.’
Fortunately, the lightning that flew at me now was only a fragment.
An attack of this level can be prevented.
Pajik, pajikjik… … .
The remnants of the lightning bolt flew over my barrier.
I change the shape of the barrier, induce the residual power to the floor, and let it flow.
The current absorbed into the ground through the tree connected to the barrier.
I then unlocked the barrier.
‘As expected, it’s difficult to deal with brain-attribute magic.’
Among the many magics, if I had to choose the most difficult magic to deal with, I would choose the brain property magic.
There are many more powerful magics, but even if it is difficult to deal with this residual damage, it is too difficult.
Even if you block it well, there will be residual power like that, so all actions have no choice but to slow down once.
If you ignore it, the electric shock will paralyze your body.
Beyond that, there are as many tricky points as mountains.
‘To stop that tricky magic so perfectly… … .’
I released the barrier and looked up at Charles.
Charles is casually blocking Thunder Bird’s thunderstorm.
He even smiles confidently, as if a lightning strike like this could do no damage to himself.
Beyond the level of self-confidence, to the point where you can feel relaxed.
It seems like the first time I’ve ever seen a wizard who can block lightning magic so easily.
‘That’s also a disaster species outside the ranks, Thunderbird-class lightning that easily… … .’
How do you block the lightning strike of Thunderbird, which is said to have power exceeding 8th circle magic?
It doesn’t look like it’s using any special magic.
‘I can’t see it well from this position.’
Because the distance is so great, there is little that can be confirmed with the god’s eye.
Of course, it is unknown how Charles uses his magic to perfectly block his attacks.
‘Of course it’s not like using 100% pure water like the blue mage lord… … .’
No current flows through 100% pure water.
Therefore, brain-attribute magic does not work on wizards who have honed water-attribute magic to the limit.
Of course, only the blue mage tower master in this world can perform water attribute magic with 100% pure water.
‘How the hell… … .’
I observed Charles’ battle with my own eyes.
continue, continue.
With the will to absorb all of Charles’ combat sense, he focused his mind.
He did not miss Charles’ every move.
‘Counterattack.’
and at some point
Charles, who had been focusing on defense all along, launched a counterattack.
It pierces through the cracks of the thunderbolt and flies straight into the Thunderbird.
20 meters, 10 meters.
I think I’m already close enough, but I still don’t slow down.
It looked like he was about to slap his body.
If someone else saw this scene right now, they would think it was crazy.
To approach the Thunderbird, which is always emitting electric current, hastily.
I’m sure you’ll scream if you want to die.
As much as that, Charles’ actions at the present time were an act that deviated from the ark of common sense.
‘What are you trying to do?’
As much as Charles, who had been thinking of dealing with Thunderbird from the beginning, he probably wasn’t rushing without thinking.
That assault must also be part of the plan.
I kept my eyes open and observed Charles’ behavior.
3 meters, 1 meter.
Charles stopped exactly one meter in front of the Thunderbird.
After making eye contact with Thunderbird, he grinned and slowly raised his right hand.
That moment.
Woo woo woo woo woo-!
The sky fell.
It’s not like a parable.
A scene as if God had squeezed the sky in that area and dropped it to the ground.
Charles’ psychokinesis was unleashed at full power, and everything in the area began to fall to the ground.
‘This is the power of the 8th circle archmage whose main attribute is psychokinesis… … .’
The power was so strong that the trees in the area were crumpled like iron plates. If I had been in there, it would have been minced jerky.
I don’t think the gravity magic of the Gravity family is that powerful.
I laughed out loud at the power that transcended common sense.
‘What’s even more absurd is… … .’
It’s a Thunderbird that floats in the air without thinking even after being hit by that great magic right in front of its nose.
As if nothing was wrong with the telekinesis I felt right now, I was flapping my wings leisurely.
No, it’s actually nothing.
Pajik, Pajijijijik!
Thunderbirds are always on current.
It’s kind of like a lightning barrier.
As long as there is that barrier, no attack will work against the Thunderbirds.
Woo woo woo woo-!
At that moment, Thunderbird’s surroundings were distorted.
In order to emit an electric current, all the mana was temporarily concentrated around it.
Gripping Support Support Support Support Jik-!
At the same time as I thought so, an electric current exploded.
Lightning rained down in a radius of 10 meters centered on the Thunderbird.
Lightning instantly covered Charles’ entire body.
“… … !”
Charles disappeared into the current in an instant.
For a moment I thought something was wrong.
but.
“Not through. Sasha.”
It was just a worry.
In the storm of electricity, Charles was still showing off his composure.
As if there was an intangible barrier around Charles, Thunderbird’s electric shock couldn’t even get close to Charles.
‘What did you do?’
I opened my eyes and observed Charles’ surroundings.
It is as if an intangible force is pushing away the electric shock.
As if an invisible lightning rod induced an electric current in a certain direction, causing the current to rotate around Charles.
It looked like that.
‘no way.’
My pupils slowly widened.
A hypothesis passed through my head.
‘Captain Charles’s magic is telekinesis. And telekinesis is magic that exerts power on a target without any action… … .’
Most wizards think of telekinesis as simple magic that simply applies force from a distance.
But no.
Psychokinesis is magic with a much more complex and esoteric process.
‘It’s a magic that applies intangible power without any action, so it doesn’t matter if the target doesn’t have a clear form.’
You can also create wind by tapping the invisible air.
You can force the water to make the waterfall flow in reverse.
And by applying a force to the electrons, you can induce an electric current.
‘Palatian telekinesis omnipotence.’
In the past, a theory advocated by a Palatian magician who claimed that telekinesis was the most outstanding magic in the world.
If you can apply power to everything in the world, no magic can beat telekinesis.
That was definitely the theory.
‘Use telekinesis to induce electrons and induce electric power. Theoretically possible, but… … .’
It’s literally just magic that’s only possible in theory.
It is impossible to control countless electrons individually.
No, it should be impossible.
‘Is there really someone who can do that?’
But, currently, Captain Charles is realizing it.
It makes possible what should be impossible.
I’m dumbfounded, so I’m speechless.
‘If you have such a skill… … It’s only natural to block the baptism of lightning casually.’
free induction of electrons.
It’s worth asserting that you can easily beat a Thunderbird.
“haha… … .”
Unknowingly, I burst out laughing.
After all, the world is wide.
Unknowingly, I felt that way.
* * *
About 28 minutes have passed since then.
The battle between Charles and Thunderbird is over.
“Whoa. It’s been a while since I worked out hard!”
Thunderbird’s huge body crashed to the ground and was scattered on the floor.
Charles stood on it and stretched.
“It was close?”
Thunderbird’s half-open eyes had already lost their light.
Even though Charles was jumping up and down, Thunderbird didn’t even move.
it stops breathing
“How is this sister’s skill?”
“Do I really need to tell you?”
“I need you, so tell me quickly. how was it?”
“It was great. All I could see was exclamation.”
“Kuk-kuk. right?”
Charles stood on top of Thunderbird and drew a V.
“This is my sister’s skill~ That’s what I said.”
Charles chuckled and sat down on top of Thunderbird.
Then, he took out the dagger hanging from his waist and inserted it into Thunderbird’s body.
“Are you going to peel off the skin?”
Needless to say, Thunderbird leather is expensive.
Current resistance is excellent enough to be equivalent to 100%, and mana conductivity is also excellent.
If it’s this size of leather, you can get billions even if you can’t do it.
“no. There’s no way to take it, so why are you tearing off the skin?”
Whistling as if they were having fun, they peeled off the skin and removed the flesh.
“I have the cloth I brought. Put it there.”
And then he threw it at me.
I received the piece of meat as is.
“It must have been food storage.”
“ok. I brought emergency food, but it was tasteless. We should pack food while we can.”
Charles licked his lips and smacked his lips.
“and… … The meat of unranked species is delicious? Haven’t you eaten yet? Would you be surprised if you try it?”
Monster meat is delicious.
To be precise, the more mana you have, the better it tastes.
“ruler. That should be enough.”
Charles, who had cut off about 5 pieces, stood up from his seat.
“Is this enough?”
“uh. I had to bring more anyway so I wouldn’t be able to eat it all. … … It sucks. All monster meat is good, but the downside is that it spoils too quickly.”
Charles licked his lips in regret.
Monster meat has a short shelf life. It is not because there is no facility for refrigeration on site.
In the first place, monster meat had nothing to do with whether it was stored frozen or stored at room temperature.
The important thing in preserving monster meat is mana.
As long as the mana contained in the meat does not disappear, it will never go bad.
However, in other words, if all the mana leaked out, the meat would be completely waste.
That’s why it’s hard to preserve monster meat.
To keep the meat from spoiling, you have to continuously supply mana, but that’s not an easy task.
“Other by-products… … I almost have to give up. It’s a pity.”
This rule applies not only to the flesh of monsters.
Leather, eyeballs, and hearts all become trash when the remaining mana is gone.
That’s why Charles said things like that. There is no way to safely take by-products unless you are going back right away.
… … It’s a problem even if you take it back in the first place.
The act we did now is illegal hunting, so 100% problems arise.
It would be a big problem to have entered the restricted area in the first place.
“If we can move his body very safely and covertly… … .”
But it’s not that there isn’t a way.
i have a way
“Could you give me half of the sale?”
“… … ok?”
Charles tilted his head with an expression that said, “What kind of ghost is that?”
“Is there any way?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t that interfering with the schedule?”
“yes. There will be no disruption to our schedule.”
“… … How are you going to move it?”
“hmm… … .”
I paused for a while.
“Before that, can you promise me that you’ll keep what you’re seeing a secret?”
“What is it?”
“… … .”
I made an unspoken promise.
Charles tilted his head again and replied.
“Can’t you tell Madam too?”
“As far as Sophia-sama is concerned… … I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“Oh yeah? Then no problem. okay. I will keep it a secret.”
Charles sent an OK sign using his index finger and thumb.
“And if that’s possible, I give you 70% of the sale, not half. No, on top of that, I’ll do your favor. for free.”
“great. Then, in addition to the 70% profit, please tell me the electromagnetic induction trick you just used against the Thunderbirds.”
Charles’ shoulders trembled.
“… … How else did you know about the induction of electrons?”
“Somehow I found out.”
“I mean, I figured it out on that street. scary guy.”
Charles looks at me with the eyes of a monster.
“But even if I tell you, you won’t be able to use it? It’s okay to say this, but it’s a method that can’t be used unless you’re at my level.”
“Listen to it, and if it doesn’t work, then you can give up.”
“… … but. There’s nothing wrong with trying anything. okay. I’ll let you know.”
“thank you.”
I brought my right hand to the shoulder blade as it was.
Charles looks at me as if asking what are you doing.
“Why are you suddenly like that? Are your shoulders tickling?”
“You will know when you see it.”
Holding the air, I moved my hands as if wrapping a robe.
It’s a behavior you’ve become accustomed to.
It was the action of taking out the ace and putting it on.
“… … You, what are you, what is that?”
A red robe wrapped around my body in an instant. A.S.
Charles’ eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the robe.
“Do you know what subspace magic is?”
“Agong, subspace? The sub-space I know?”
“yes.”
“The Grove is a Subspace Robe? It can be, it can’t be… … Space magic as well as subspace magic is said to be a product of fantasy… … .”
“I fully understand your hard-to-believe heart.”
As it is, I brought my hand to Thunderbird.
“I don’t believe in words alone. I will show you the hard evidence.”
put this corpse in aes
Thinking so, I moved my hand.
OK.
“This crazy… … .”
In the next moment, Thunderbird’s corpse dissipated.
It moved to the sub-space inside Aes.
“Did you see it?”
“… … ha ha ha. Heh heh heh.”
Charles’ eyes lost focus.
The expression that you can’t believe your eyes. He pinches his own cheek as it is.
“… … It’s real.”
It seems that he doubted that it was not a dream.
“Can’t you forget the conditions I presented earlier?”
“uh. I won’t forget that… … . It’s ridiculous, really.”
As if he still hadn’t come to his senses, Charles continued to burst out laughing with a blank expression.
