Chapter 147
Near the convoy where The Feast is being held.
Traces of a fierce battle remain intact, on top of a road that has become nothing but ruins.
In a place where everything except for the escort vehicle had turned into a mop, the King of Dark Mage exuded a relaxed atmosphere.
“You are old. Sophia Annechefrey.”
I looked at Sophia Anechevri, who was breathing heavily in front of the escort vehicle, with sympathy.
Sophia Anechefri, exhausted enough after numerous skirmishes, and the Dark Mage King, who is still in a relaxed state.
Just looking at the current state of the two, it was possible to know at once where and how the current charter was leaning.
“Last suggestion. back off my only nemesis. Sophia Annechefrey.”
The voice of the Dark Mage King who said that sounded very sad.
“The monsters that went into a runaway state because of the mana flowed from my battles are now even getting stronger. Continuing the battle in the middle of America like this is not what you want.”
The Dark Mage King’s mana affects the surroundings just by existing.
Plants wither, animals die, the earth loses its life, and the air becomes impoverished.
Mana that seemed to embody ‘death’ itself. Nothing remains on the land it has swept away.
However, just one.
There are beings that are positively affected by his mana.
That’s a monster.
They are enemies of mankind, and they are called crystals of destruction.
The black mage king’s mana makes monsters runaway and strengthens them.
And currently, the Dark Mage King’s mana has spread to about 1/3 of the territory of the United States.
Thanks to that, of course, the high-ranking monsters that were being researched at each research center. Even the wild monsters living in the sea, mountains, and fields are in a state of rampage.
Because of that, it is currently in a state of uproar, and the monsters are getting stronger every minute to make matters worse.
If the battle continues beyond this, the damage to the United States will be incalculable.
“Also, this is my last mercy. You, who do not have much time left. I don’t want to do it with my own hands.”
Sofia Annechefrey.
A rare magician who has suppressed himself for over 50 years.
Poor old wizard who is now dying under his own curse.
I didn’t want to deal with such an existence with my own hands.
“I am surprised. I didn’t know you had a feeling of mercy.”
Sophia responded, adjusting her disturbed breathing.
“I’ve been fighting like this for 57 years. There’s no way you’ll have mercy.”
The Dark Mage King smiled lightly, still exuding a relaxed spirit.
Absolute freedom.
Conceited, careless, and arrogant, I couldn’t find a single gap in his appearance.
“I heard an ugly feeling. Is this?”
Sophia laughed lightly.
It was a very similar laugh.
“That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in nearly 10 years.”
Then, he glared at the Dark Mage King again with a sharp gaze.
“Tell me honestly. I just don’t want to see my old self.”
At those words, the Dark Mage King’s momentum fluctuated greatly for an instant.
“I just don’t want to realize that I’m old by looking at myself.”
Sophia’s smile grew thicker at that shaking.
“It’s the same as you and me who couldn’t overcome the wall of time. The face under that darkness will surely be no different from mine. I must have become a wrinkly old man.”
11 years ago.
At the time of the Atlantic Wormhole Incident, the Dark Mage King did not wear such darkness all over his body.
What is the reason why he suddenly started to be surrounded by such darkness?
There was only one answer.
To hide the senile self.
In order not to find out that you are weak.
For that reason, it is clear that the Dark Mage King is hiding his body.
“Why don’t you answer? Was it a hit song?”
Sophia accepted the Dark Mage King’s rough spirit and silence as a positive sign.
At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief.
‘… … thank god.’
To Sophia, who was worried about the world after her death, the weakening of the Dark Mage King was indescribable joy.
‘If it’s the weakened Dark Mage King, somehow even after I die… … .’
It was a time when I had such hope-filled thoughts.
“… … Kut.”
Laughter was heard.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
A gigantic laugh that rang the heavens. Mana reacted to the change in his emotions, literally shaking the heavens and the earth.
“You say something interesting. Sofia Annechefrey. Were you thinking like that?”
The Dark Mage King’s momentum became even sharper. It is so sharp that even a light touch will cut your fingers through the bone.
It filled the surroundings.
Squeak, squeak, koooooo!
In fact, the surrounding structures were cut as if cut by a blade.
The Dark Mage King’s mana becomes a powerful weapon just by thinking about it.
“Do you show mercy to me because I don’t want to see my old self, because I don’t want you to be aware of my old age?”
In the midst of that, everything in all directions is being sliced.
Around Sophia, it was infinitely quiet.
Where Sophia’s mana coils, even the Dark Mage King’s mana cannot extend its power.
“Kuk-kuk. It is a bone system. There is no joke like this! Hahahaha!”
roaring laughter.
The black mana influenced by that intense emotion twisted the fragmented structures around. Remnants of buildings and asphalt that were instantly powdered.
They scattered and created a huge typhoon.
“Did the magical power of time eventually take away even your clever wisdom? Hehehe.”
In the middle of the typhoon, the Dark Mage King took a step forward.
thud!
just one step.
That’s all, the world has become quiet. The typhoon stopped, and all the cement powder disappeared.
“Sofia Anechefrey.”
Everything in the world bowed its head, as if nothing should stand in the way of the king.
“I show you mercy, simply because I am grateful to you.”
two steps. three steps.
The Dark Mage King slowly approached Sophia.
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this position.”
five steps.
seven steps.
The distance between the two is now less than 5 meters.
“this… … location… … ?”
Sophia’s eyes trembled like aspen trees.
no way. Hopefully not.
My head was full of such thoughts.
“Sofia Anechefrey.”
The Dark Mage King called out Sofia’s name and raised his right hand.
Then, he placed the palm of his right hand on his face and lowered it slowly.
“Look.”
Darkness slowly disappearing.
As the darkness dissipated, the true face of the Dark Mage King slowly began to emerge.
“that… … face… … .”
Sophia’s pupils trembled with astonishment.
“okay.”
The darkness disappeared, and the voice of the Dark Mage King returned to its original state.
“Even time can no longer be my enemy.”
The face of the Dark Mage King who appeared after the darkness disappeared was very young.
At a glance, he only looks like he’s in his early to mid-20s.
“Of course, neither you nor anyone else. You cannot stop me.”
The Dark Mage King took another step.
That moment,
Kagagagagagagang!
Sophia’s mana and realm, which were guarding her surroundings, were shattered.
“Therefore, this is mercy. Sophia Annechefrey.”
Approach the completely defenseless Sophia Anechevri.
He put his hand on her cheek and smiled leisurely.
“Back off. I am a ruthless king, but I still have the taste to watch the petals that I have been watching for a long time wither until the end.”
The eyes of the Dark Mage King looking at Sophia in astonishment seemed more vivid than anything else.
Saaaa… … .
Mana spread through the smile of the Dark Mage King.
farther and farther.
increasingly darker.
The monsters affected by that mana danced more and more violently.
As if celebrating the return of their king.
* * *
Immediately after the tricolor tiger opened its eyes again. Naturally, a battle broke out again.
“For now, Dahlia and Soonchan focus on recovering behind the scenes! Sarah takes the final line of defense in front of him!”
I battled the tricolor tiger at the forefront and gave instructions quickly.
“Senior Shinwoo and Kyle are at the forefront! He’s only aiming for me, so use that to pull the time back little by little!”
The three-color tiger that opened its eyes again did not separate into three.
The three colors of red, blue, and green were completely united to form a new object with a pure white color.
“Jinseok senior, Heeyun senior, and Maia… … Kut!”
Fluttering his white fur, he swung his paw at me.
I kicked the ground, concentrating all the wind shins I was wearing toward my lower body.
The wind blew, and my body ricocheted off like bullets.
Woo-woo-!
His front paws brushed past my feet.
It was just that, and a tremendous shock ran through my feet.
As expected, it was tremendous speed and power worthy of the fusion of the three objects.
‘Fortunately, it’s because of the permafrost. It’s a bit weak for a fusion of three objects… … .’
Aaaaaaaaa!
He threw his body straight at me.
Tremendous speed comparable to that of the enemy lake.
As I am floating in the air, I cannot completely avoid that attack.
But it’s okay.
This battle is not a 1:1 battle between me and the tricolor tiger.
“It’s Jisoo!”
“yes!”
Adela and Hee-yoon sunbae at the same time, shooting between me and the three-color tiger.
Perhaps to match Jin Hee-yoon’s fire-attribute magic, Adela was dealing with wind-attribute magic.
Roaring!
It must have been the first time they were guessing, but it was a great synchro rate.
I’ve never practiced it separately, so it must be pure fusion magic from Adela’s sense.
Aaaaaaaang-!
The magic hit the three-color tiger as it was, and an explosion occurred.
Krrrrr… … .
The body of a three-color tiger protruded from the smoke from the explosion.
Tanned skin and fur.
Even in that state, he seemed to have not given up on attacking me, and flew towards me with his mouth wide open.
However, the speed is not as fast as before.
“Jinseok!”
“OK!”
At Hee-yoon’s command, Ma Jin-seok used magic.
Sustainability holding magic.
the roots of the earth.
A rope made of soil and stone bound the body of the three-color tiger.
He frowned as if he was annoyed.
Quadd!
It only gave me a little bit of strength.
That’s all, the roots of the earth were shattered.
It’s hard to last even one second with 4-circle magic.
But that 1 second was important.
One second of hesitation.
During the moment when the three-color tiger stopped, Kyle had already completed all preparations.
“Whoa.”
little breath.
A little wind blows accordingly.
Kyle’s body disappears.
Awesome!
He cut off the head of the three-color tiger.
“… … !”
However, what is this?
Kyle’s three blades failed to sever his throat.
Close by!
The sword came to a halt in the middle, as if it had been caught in the neck bone.
It was an unexpected situation.
‘Three primary color tigers didn’t have the advantage of toughness… … .’
As the three primary color tigers became one individual, did other abilities, including toughness, rise above average?
Krrrrrr-!
The tricolor tiger growled with a sharp sword stuck in its neck.
‘Mana reaction!’
My god’s eye captured the enormous movement of mana in its mouth.
‘This… … Breath?’
Bondi, the tricolor tiger is an individual with no mana attack ability.
However, when I looked at it a little while ago, I can’t see the three primary color tigers as an individual I know.
In other words, it is not strange to use a breath.
I reversed the position of my upper body and lower body using telekinesis on my floating body.
And, create a barrier right above the raised lower body.
widely!
He kicked off the barrier and flew down to the place where Kyle and the three-color tiger were confronting each other.
“Kyle! damage!”
I heard Maia’s tearing cry. However, Kyle couldn’t get out of her seat.
The season that Kyle handles, ‘breeze’ is a high-risk, high-return.
It is a technique that weakens the body for a certain period of time in return for use.
Now, Kyle is unable to escape on his own.
‘What can I do? Using this acceleration, should Kyle get out of the range of his breath?’
Numerous thoughts ran through my head as my body accelerated and gliding.
‘No, no. Soon-chan and Dahlia are in the direction of the breath.’
It seems that his intelligence has increased as he became a single entity. The direction of the breath is unusual.
At least 3 people will die if you dodge.
‘then… … .’
The only answer is blocking.
And there was only one way to stop that level of monster attack.
‘Resonance!’
My Infinity Circle accelerated, and my magic output increased by one level.
