Chapter 402
Sein’s sword cut the veil’s magic.
The wispy black mist was cut by Sein’s sword and returned to its original form.
index finger.
The veil’s index finger, which had turned into magic, lost its power and fell to the floor.
“… … .”
Bale frowned.
The magic that should have been unstoppable was blocked.
The unexpected counterattack made my head complicated for a moment.
“Don’t think that I will always be bound by your restraints.”
Sein held out his sword to Veil.
Veil’s eyes narrowed even more.
“Did you break the taboo?”
“okay. cut.”
The ban on the world’s body has weakened.
It’s not completely gone, but it’s weakened beyond compare to before.
Saying that he cut gold would not be bluffing.
“Now that the ban no longer binds me. There is no victory for you anymore.”
Sein laughed.
It was a laughable smile.
“… … .”
Bale faced Sein’s ridicule straight on and was lost in thought.
‘I haven’t seen Shim Gum cut gold.’
What Bale saw was not the scene where the sword was cutting the gold.
There is only a scene where mana with an incomprehensible nature permeates gold.
‘Mana in the form of destruction… … . Did you forge that mana with a special sword and swordsmanship to cut the forbidden?’
Then, it is understandable to some extent that I did not see the trajectory of the sword.
Since it was the first time Mana had ever seen the veil, it was impossible to properly detect it.
If the sword was created using that kind of mana, it would be worth missing out on.
‘… … It’s become a nuisance.’
I don’t know the exact way.
First of all, it is certain that Sein has a means to neutralize the taboo.
‘If this happens, it will be difficult for me to move.’
The fact that the world was able to neutralize the taboo means that it became impossible to act using one’s own body as a shield as before.
Terrorism using dragons is now impossible.
Since the veil cannot be used as a shield, it has no meaning.
Bale clicked his tongue.
Thinking back on it, it’s an embarrassing situation.
‘One thing I’m curious about is why didn’t I use that method earlier?’
If Sein had neutralized the ban earlier, the situation would not have reached this point.
If I had neutralized the ban during the first engagement earlier, the veil would have been cut with the breath.
Then things may have ended just like that.
No, not just this situation, everything could be over.
If it was a mind sword that had exhausted itself, it could have lost its life without being able to withstand the veil.
“Ask me one.”
Bale stopped thinking for a moment and opened his mouth.
“Even though there was a means to neutralize the ban, why didn’t you neutralize it earlier?”
It was a question to remind the opponent. It’s going to be a question that pierces the core, so anything will respond.
“a moment ago? ah. Are you referring to the first time you volunteered to be a meat shield?”
Sein lowered his sword and smiled.
“hmm. Certainly, if the ban had been neutralized then, things would have been easier.”
Sein stroked his chin with the other hand that was not holding the sword.
Veil’s eyes sharpened at Sein’s unexpected reply.
“What do you mean?”
I thought that Sein had a different intention and did not incapacitate him.
To make the situation a little more certain.
To catch the veil off guard.
I thought I was pretending that I couldn’t neutralize the ban for one last shot.
But what does that reaction mean?
That expression that makes you feel sorry for yourself.
Doesn’t it look like he’s saying that he didn’t even think about it at the time?
“It means exactly what it says.”
Sae-in replied with an insignificant expression and gesture.
“If I had gotten the hang of it a little sooner, things would have been easier. I said it was a pity that I caught on too late.”
“… … .”
Bale frowned.
that word that look.
“Are you trying to say that neutralizing the ban isn’t something you prepared in advance, but something you just came up with?”
Sein slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
It was a smile with positive meaning.
“The bullshit… … .”
“Do you think this is bullshit?”
“… … .”
If you think about it normally, it’s bullshit.
It doesn’t make sense to learn to neutralize the forbidden at this desperate moment.
If an ordinary person had said that, he would have snorted.
‘But that guy is Sein Binoche.’
Saint Binoche.
crystallization of evolution.
A strange monster that grows in real time while fighting.
It wouldn’t be strange if he figured out a way to neutralize the taboo during the fight.
“Tsk.”
Bale clicked his tongue again.
Hearing that nonsense, my irritation at the current situation, which I couldn’t get rid of because it was nonsense, soared.
‘Whatever it is, is it this far for today?’
Anger surged at the reality of having to run away without getting any benefit.
“Do you think I’ll let them run away?”
Sein took a stance.
In order to block Veil, who was clearly about to run away, I grabbed my sword so that I could run away immediately.
“Don’t be bluffing.”
Vail looked at Sein like that and squinted her eyes.
“The taboo within you has not completely disappeared yet. You cannot end my life yet.”
It is true that the ban has been neutralized to some extent.
If it was Sein now, it would be possible to injure Bale to some extent.
However, that’s all.
It can only hurt.
It’s possible to cut through the veil, just like how Veil cut through the magic forged with his index finger earlier.
can’t put an end to it
“Do you think so?”
Sein glared at the veil with a meaningful expression.
Bale smiled at Sein like that.
“That bluff. If you had played it two minutes ago, you might have been a little wary.”
Sein did not move while Veil organized his thoughts.
Those two minutes of silence is proof that even the world cannot move recklessly.
There is no means to end Veil’s life for Sein now.
“Then see you later.”
The veil soared into the sky.
The presence of a veil that is quickly disappearing.
“… … .”
Feeling the mana of the veil fading, Sein lowered his sword.
‘… … Fortunately, it went well.’
So the battle was over.
* * *
After the veil disappears.
We gathered at an empty mansion nearby.
“Thank you for your effort.”
From the center of the party, he looked at each of them one by one and said.
Everyone is not alone in their injuries.
Adela and Soonchan are still asleep due to bodily injuries.
Elena and Aslan were shut down due to overload.
Right now, Mimir is working hard in the Book of Danteroa for the quick recovery of the two of you.
Miho also went back to Danteroa’s ward for a break.
The only ones who can move properly right now are Sein-nim and me.
“sorry. I’m late… … .”
Seeing the wounds of his comrades, he felt apologetic for no reason.
If I could have moved 30 minutes earlier, things wouldn’t have gotten this far.
“No need to worry.”
Sein-nim answered while wrapping the bandages appropriately.
“that’s right. not for any other reason. I’m late for training.”
His expression and voice changed completely.
it’s Sophia
“It was unavoidable, but it was tedious. To think that he was engaged in special training in the form of cutting off the inside and outside at that timing.”
This time it’s the Dark Mage King.
It was a change that I couldn’t adapt to even looking at it.
It’s strange that their personalities change so quickly, but above all, it’s so strange that those two and the Dark Mage King coexist in one place.
“okay. Is the result of that training the magic you used today?”
The Dark Mage King looked at me with an interesting expression.
You seem to be very interested in my ‘Disolutio’.
“It is not. Disolutio is additive, really… … .”
Then, the soul was replaced again.
That expression and eyes are Sein-sama’s.
“indeed. You made 8 circles.”
surprised.
“You noticed it. You won’t see it.”
“It’s definitely a hard-to-see structure, but I can’t escape my eyes.”
Guess who isn’t Sein?
It was an amazing feeling.
Can you even sense the circle of nothingness?
“Circle 8… … Did you weave?”
The personality changed again, and this time Sophia-sama came out.
He examines every part of my body as if examining it.
“It doesn’t look like that at all… … .”
A look of incomprehension.
His expression asked where the 8th circle was on my body.
“Stupid. Look at the forest, not the trees. If you’re a wizard and don’t know more about the Circle than I do, what are you going to do?”
“… … It’s noisy. Not everyone has a monstrous sense like you.”
Sein-sama and Sophia-sama quarreled with each other.
While we haven’t seen each other, it seems like we’ve become very close.
“… … If you look more broadly, there are things you can see. Although the structure is strange to call it a ring… … . It’s not something that can’t be considered a ring. Is that your eighth circle?”
“yes.”
Sophia-sama smiled benevolently.
“It’s a nice circle.”
“thank you.”
He bowed his head slightly.
“… … hmm.”
When she looked up again, Sophia-sama had turned into the Dark Mage King.
“It is a strange structure. To the extent that I want to dissect it once and dig it out properly.”
It was a rate of change that I couldn’t really adapt to.
“Can I dissect it later?”
“… … I will politely decline.”
“hmm. is it. Too bad.”
The Dark Mage King disappeared, and Sein-nim reappeared.
“… … It’s messy.”
Sein-nim himself seems to be dizzy because his main personality changes so often.
“You two stay inside for a while. Isn’t the talk going on because of you?”
In an instant, Sein-sama’s expression changed to that of Sofia-sama.
But that change was only fleeting.
It immediately returned to Sein-sama’s expression.
“Don’t come out. I won’t allow it. Stay in.”
It seems that Sophia-sama was forcibly suppressed.
“This is your body and I don’t know what it is. The strongest of these is me. Follow me.”
It seems that Sein has the strongest influence among the three.
For Sophia-sama, it might be a bit unfair.
The body belongs to Sophia, but Sein has the most powerful influence.
Sein-nim focused his gaze on me.
“Traffic control took a while. Even if you go into the main topic now… … .”
He didn’t say anything, but he frowned as if he was annoyed.
“… … fight in moderation My head is ringing.”
It seems that Sofia-nim and the Dark Mage King are arguing once in my head.
“okay. Back to the main subject. Speaking of the mythic magic that disabled my ban a while ago… … . I’m sure he said his name was Disolutio.”
“yes. you’re right.”
Sein-sama’s eyes shone sharply.
“I will ask straight forward. Is it impossible to completely erase my ban with that magic?”
I shook my head slowly.
“It is impossible now.”
The only thing that can be done with Disolutio right now is to scratch the gold to some extent.
It is impossible to completely break it.
“now… … ? Does that mean it will become possible later?”
“yes. Later, after I weave the ninth circle, then you can.”
Bytenorism and black magic are of equal rank.
It is a perfectly equal force that has no superiority in terms of compatibility.
That’s why I can’t break the gold system now.
The veil’s forbidden ‘Black Word’ is a 9th circle black magic, so in order to completely break it, I also need to step up to the 9th circle.
“… … 9th circle. is it.”
Sein-nim nodded as if he roughly understood.
“Then until that time comes, it would be best not to touch the taboo as much as possible.”
“yes. Unless it’s really unavoidable, it’s best not to touch it.”
Sein-sama raised his right hand and repeatedly opened and closed his fist.
My hands don’t grip properly and I can’t straighten them properly.
“Anyway, since the prohibition dwelling in the soul is forcibly destroyed, there can be no aftereffects.”
That’s one of the after-effects of destroying the taboo with Disolutio.
Desolutio took a hit on his soul, and currently, Sein-nim is unable to hold his sword properly.
“It will be like that for at least two days.”
“… … Two days. The aftereffects are much greater than I thought.”
Sein-nim frowned with a serious expression.
Two days. What if the veil moves again in the meantime? You seem to have such concerns.
“You don’t have to worry about raids. Bale hasn’t been around for a while… … No, I won’t be able to move.”
The plan Bale had set up was completely shattered as of today.
For a while, I’ll devote myself to curling up, planning new strategies, and building up my strength.
“So don’t worry too much. You can focus on resting now… … .”
It was then that the unexpected happened.
Flash-!
Light began to emanate from one of the holy relics of the Age of Myth that I always carry with me.
“What is that light?”
“This… … .”
Umbra, the only mythic magic that has not yet been completely controlled.
‘Is Umbra calling me?’
A demon who has been silent all along.
Goddess Umbra was calling me.
