Chapter 174
Roaring!
Blue flames rose again where Shadow had been standing.
If the power was stronger than before, it was strong, but it was a high-fire flame that was never less.
The flame soon took the form of a lotus flower, and the petals bloomed.
‘Waltz of the burning lotus.’
Among the various types of magic in Superheat Hell, this magic is said to be the most powerful.
One-point concentration type incineration magic that is the same as the identity of the Red Mage Tower.
It completely swallowed Shadow.
“no use.”
But that’s for a while.
The lotus of flame that hit Shadow soon lost all its power and disappeared.
Unknowingly, the protruding shadow swallowed the flame whole.
“I think I said it last time. didn’t you hear All magic loses its meaning in my shadow.”
It was as if a monster made of shadows had swallowed the flames.
The shadow that swallowed all the flames gathered at the shadow again.
The hall became silent in an instant.
The red mage lord settled between Shadow and Shin Ha-yul with a look of extreme caution.
“Little. back off a bit more Dangerous.”
“… … yes. All right.”
Among the six people in this position, the weakest is the true Shin Ha-yul.
Even Shadow knows that. In order to overcome this situation, there is a high possibility that he will move to take Shin Ha-yul as a hostage.
“Kangin. I’ll leave that kid to you.”
In this situation, the surest and safest way to deal with Shadow is to fight Shadow as a group of three, excluding the people who will protect the servant.
“okay. Leave this one to us.”
‘Water Stream’ of the Blue Mage Tower is an arcane magic that is more specialized for defense than attack.
If someone had to keep the law of the servant, there was no one better than the blue mage master.
Since the injury has not yet been 100% recovered, it is burdensome to stand on the front line.
“… … Please take care of Ha Yul.”
Shin In-hyeok moved slowly and took his place behind Shadow’s left side.
“I’ve gotten used to your beggarly shadow magic. Not twice.”
In line with Shin In-hyeok’s movement, Charles also moved to the right rear of Shadow.
That’s how the Red Magic Tower Master, Shin In-hyeok, and Charles formed a formation to surround Shadow.
“Your boy. When did you hide in my shadow?”
The spirit of the Red Mage Tower was distorted. The surrounding temperature rises rapidly, and a visual distortion occurs.
“Answer me. How in the world is my shadow… … Did you hide without showing any sign?”
From the time Tkish was captured until today, the Red Mage Tower Master has never left the Red Mage Tower.
How the hell did he hide in the shadow of such a red mage tower?
“Can you run away from your shadow?”
Shadow answered calmly.
At those words, the brows of the four people, including the lord of the red mage tower, furrowed.
“That means… … It sounds like you can go wherever you want, wherever there is a shadow.”
“Good to hear you. That’s right.”
Shadow crossed his arms.
It was quite strange to see a mass of shadows in the shape of a human crossing their arms.
“gibberish.”
The red mage lord snorted.
If that statement is true, it means that no secret is a secret in front of the Black Mage Tower.
In other words, it means that the Black Mage Tower must know all the information in this world.
But what about now?
The Black Magic Tower, let alone knowing all the secrets of the world, couldn’t even prevent T’Kish from being captured.
The current situation itself is tantamount to evidence denying Shadow’s claim.
“I told the truth. It is your freedom to believe.”
Shadow looked very relaxed.
Despite being surrounded by four of the strongest fighters, he doesn’t seem to feel any sense of danger. very calm
“… … Tsk. I just wasted my time with useless questions and answers. It was a mistake to even think of getting anything out of a conversation with you worms.”
The gaze of the red mage tower lord shone as sharp as a blade.
The peaceful conversation is now over.
All that remains is a powerless conversation with power.
Mana overflows around.
The mana of the three great wizards fluctuates with strong will.
“Why? Aren’t you coming?”
But that was all.
The three Mana were emitting momentum that seemed to rush towards Shadow at any moment, but there was no actual rush.
I just let it move at any time.
“hmm. Cool. but. Is it as natural as being an 8th circle mage?”
It was a very natural choice.
The shadow magic of Shadow, the executive of the Black Mage Tower, which the three are currently confronting, is a magic that seems to be specialized in defense and escape.
In dealing with such magic, it would be a bad idea for this side to take offense and defense first.
‘This is the deepest part of the Faelian Prison. Time is on our side.’
In addition, the more time you drag, the more advantageous it is.
There is absolutely no reason to rush into an offensive.
‘By now the blockade of the prison is over, and reinforcements should be on the way. If that happens, even if he’s a bastard, he won’t be able to help it.’
The red magic tower lord laughed inwardly.
From the moment this situation was created, victory was already decided.
With that in mind, I was sure of victory.
“I told you in advance, but reinforcements are not coming.”
Shadow’s voice deepened.
Although it was modulated, the ridicule contained in that voice was transmitted without filtering.
“Of course, the prison is not sealed.”
Then, the lights suddenly flickered.
Flash. Flash. Flash.
As it is a special prison, the lights in the Huaelian prison are designed to never run out of power even in the event of a power outage, and the lights turn on and off arbitrarily.
“This… … .”
Everyone’s tension grew even more in an incomprehensible situation.
Support Jijik-!
In the meantime, a noise rang out.
An unpleasant noise, like the crackling of a broken radio.
—… … Sean… Fly…
In the meantime, the voices began to blend slightly.
―Mission complete.
A male-specific low-pitched voice.
‘Mission complete’, said a dry voice that didn’t show any emotions as much as Shadow’s.
Clap!
At the same time, all the lights on the lowest floor went out.
The hall became dark in an instant.
“perfect. Hermes.”
Shadow clapped in the center of a world without a single light.
Roaring!
At that moment, the blue flame flared up again. A blue flame that burns brightly as if igniting the darkness.
Did they intentionally increase the light source to defeat the darkness?
Brighter than usual blue flames.
“hound! Shin In-hyeok!”
“know!”
“… … .”
Shadow reappeared.
All three acted simultaneously.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
First of all, Charles uses his special skill, telekinesis, to bind Shadow’s body.
On top of it, the red magic tower pillar’s superheated hell fell down.
“Are you incapable of learning?”
The blue flame was consumed by the shadow protruding from Shadow’s body and disappeared.
Up to this point, it was the same as before.
But the same thing ends here.
“Normally, it’s impossible to use that much power in succession.”
Shin In-hyeok moved right after the red magic tower.
An attack aimed at destroying the blue flame and focusing the shadow on the shadow.
‘Big Bang!’
All Elemental.
Shin In-hyeok’s 8th circle magic hit Shadow.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
An explosion worthy of the name Big Bang.
A huge crater formed around the place where Shadow stood.
Explosions did not stop, as if the universe was expanding infinitely.
More than 10 explosions per second acted in series, creating an explosion of greater power.
bang! Quaang! Kwaaang!
After a total of 20 large and small explosions occurred like that.
The shadows expanded again.
The shadows that swallowed all the mana in an instant gathered back at the shadows.
“… … indeed.”
The hall became quiet again.
drop, drop.
The sound of something dripping dripped loudly.
Blood dripped from the shadowy silhouette.
He had just been hurt by Shin In-hyeok’s magic.
“So it is. How can you use that much magic consecutively with no delay?”
The red mage lord snorted.
There are many great magics in this world.
But no magic is perfect.
No matter how powerful magic is, there is always a weakness.
“I gave you too much information at the 3rd Magic Stone Warehouse last time.”
Charles, still maintaining his telekinesis, raised one corner of his mouth.
“That is your defeat.”
If he hadn’t obtained the information that Shadow’s magic had never been activated in a row during the previous battle at the third magic stone warehouse, he would never have been able to come to a conclusion this easily.
“Give up. Then I will spare your life.”
Charles held out his right hand forward and tightly gripped the air.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
The power that bound Shadow’s body became stronger.
“I resent your bad luck for being discovered here.”
Deud deude deuk!
There was the sound of something breaking.
Sounds like bones crunching.
It was the sound of Shadow’s bones breaking.
‘no. Rather than saying he is unlucky, is Shin Ha-yul lucky?’
Charles smiled as he looked at Shin Ha-yul, who was making a serious expression in the distance.
It must be true that Shin Ha-yul’s Kang-woon, who was accompanying the nine-tailed fox at this timing, was great.
“Quickly decide. give me 5 seconds If you don’t answer within that, I’ll compress it to the size of a baseball.”
Charles raised both hands.
Then, as if compressing something invisible in the air, apply a twisting force.
Snuggle Geek!
“Cuck!”
More intense pressure.
Blood poured out of Shadow’s mouth.
Suuuuu… … .
At the same time, about 1/5 of the shadow covering Shadow’s face was released.
Shadow’s right eye was exposed.
“what. Are you a kid?”
As Charles said, Shadow’s eyes were very young.
“Is it a girl? Are you a man?”
Oddly neutral eyes.
It was strangely bright eyes reminiscent of a child.
“… … Kut.”
Perhaps because of the blow, the modulation seems to have been canceled half way. The voice has also changed.
It has become a neutral voice like a child from the previous heavy male voice.
“Three seconds left.”
under increasing pressure.
The sound of Shadow biting his teeth was heard.
“Don’t climb… … .”
“Can you say such a thing even in such a state?”
Charles applied a little more force with a ‘huh’ sound.
“okay. Well, then just die. Anyway, we can get the information by interrogating Tkish.”
“Turn it off!”
Shadow forced himself to hold back the scream.
“Two things are wrong with you. let me correct… … .”
Then he said with a small smile.
“one. My magic has no weakness of having a long activation period.”
“Still talking nonsense like that… … .”
The red mage lord growled.
“two.”
Ignoring the words of the Red Mage Tower Master, Shadow continued.
“Nevertheless, the reason why I was damaged by your magic is that half of my shadows were sent elsewhere.”
“… … .”
Shadow’s smile deepened.
Clap!
At that moment, a sound was heard from behind.
It was the sound of a door opening.
“no way… … .”
The blue mage lord opened his eyes wide.
“You should have thought of this possibility from the moment the security here was lifted.”
Kiki-Ik-!
The door, which should have been heavily guarded, slowly opened.
“It’s your failure to have thought about it that far.”
Tumble, Tumble.
I heard footsteps through the half-open door.
“… … Make sure to repay this favor. Shadow.”
Inside, Tkish appeared.
Like Count Asura, half of his body is covered in shadow.
‘Its shadow magic absorbs magic. Did it absorb Shin Ha-yul’s permafrost?’
The red mage tower master’s expression became even more serious.
Tuck, Tuck.
Tkish showed up completely soon.
“First of all, I will take the lives of those damn bastards who hurt you with service.”
Hiding in the shadows, his half-exposed face was contorted with anger.
“Now, it’s a sacrifice, whatever, the damage is fine.”
Something shook around Tkish. Something different from mana.
A chill as if a ghost had passed through the body.
A chill went down everyone’s spine.
“I will think and act only on what I will chew and swallow you directly.”
Tkish’s hands clapped together and a loud ‘clap’ sound rang out.
A world that is slowly changing.
“Suffer forever in the world of spirits. bugs.”
In a world that is translucently changing, as if only the soul comes out separately.
sparkle!
The nine-tailed fox’s eyes were shining bright red.
It’s like being in an amusement park.
Or like returning home.
It was such an eye.
