Chapter 421
A modestly sized uninhabited island located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
The veil was consuming the dragon’s soul.
“… … I can eat some now.”
The nasty smell and taste are still there. This is enough to bear.
Considering the taste like a rotten raw egg that I had eaten before, this order is nothing.
“What percentage is this soul’s recovery rate?”
Veil asked the researcher who was working on the soul attunement next to him.
“It is 30%.”
“… … 30%.”
Veil clicked his tongue lightly.
“Does it have to be 50% to be freed from this disgust?”
When I saw it as an experience while going from 0% to 30%.
I think it should be at least 50% so that this disgusting taste will disappear.
“You don’t have to be so annoyed. It’s not long before we reach 50%.”
An old man came up to Bale and said. A man in his 70s with greed hanging over his face.
He stood right next to the veil.
“Today, Vail’s strength has entered a period of complete recovery. From now on, you will regain your strength day by day.”
It is easier to treat light patients than to treat critically ill patients.
Similarly, when recovering strength from 0% and recovering strength from 30%, it is a different law.
If you have recovered to this extent, the recovery will accelerate from then on.
“How long do you expect it to take for me to regain all my strength?”
“hmm. well. It’s 100%… … .”
The old gentleman narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
“After that, the recovery speed will be accelerated. Or it will take the brakes, you have to go to know. It’s hard to be sure, but… … .”
As if he had finished his thoughts right away, the old gentleman spoke slowly.
“At most one month. In it, you will be able to restore your strength to your prime.”
“… … 1 month.”
A different color flowed from Veil’s eyes.
“Suitable. not bad.”
One month is just the right time.
“Praise me. You managed to speed up your recovery time.”
If it hadn’t been for this old man, it would have taken at least two months.
If this old man hadn’t developed the technology to tune the dragon to a level that was good for eating, he wouldn’t be able to relax like this now.
“haha. To hear compliments coming out of Mr. Vail’s mouth. It looks like the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.”
The old man smiled like he was in a good mood.
“hmm. The sun rises in the west.”
Bale looked towards the west with a meaningful expression.
“well. Unless heaven and earth are turned upside down, I don’t think the sun will ever rise in the west.”
He did not understand the old man’s words and took them literally.
“I don’t mean that… … .”
The old man was trying to explain to Bale the implied meaning of the saying that the sun rises in the west.
“The sun may not rise soon.”
I shut my mouth for a moment at Bale’s meaningful words.
“The sun never rises… … ?”
the sun doesn’t rise What does that mean?
“Are you saying there will be a solar eclipse?”
Veil turned her gaze to the old man.
“no.”
Bale held his chin up and raised one corner of his mouth.
“Literally. It means that the sun will disappear from this world.”
“Tae, the sun… … ?”
Could it be that the sun can be eliminated?
‘There’s no way that’s possible… … .’
The old man shook his head inwardly.
clearing the sun
That’s impossible.
It is something beyond what humans can do.
“I don’t mean to get rid of the sun.”
Bale smiled.
“I don’t mean to erase the sun… … .”
Veil looked up at the sky.
“They said that the sun would become unobservable in this world.”
“The sun will become unobservable… … .”
The old man thought again.
As I chewed over Veil’s words, I tried to grasp the true meaning of those words.
“ah.”
The answer came right away.
“understand. If miasma and dust from West Africa fills the atmosphere, we won’t see the sun for eternity in the future.”
The day when the device installed in the miasma zone in West Africa will activate is not too far away.
5 days later. This world will be filled with takgi and miasma.
“haha. I didn’t expect you to have such a poetic sense. To express that it will be filled with miasma, that the sun will disappear.”
Veil smiled slightly at the old man.
“Do you express these words with a poetic sense? You are also quite twisted.”
“yes. Don’t be twisted. It’s twisted, so isn’t that why you’re obeying Vail-sama like this?”
“That is also true.”
Veil turned her gaze back to the dragon’s soul.
The soul is disappearing.
The predation will soon be over.
“When is the next feeding?”
“Two days later.”
The old man answered while checking the schedule.
“The soul you will eat this time is a low-medium-class soul with mana up to 35%. It will be somewhat better than what you ate today.”
“… … 35% la. well. I don’t think it will be very different from what we ate today.”
Bale slowly rose from his seat.
Approaching the soul that is on the verge of losing all power and disappearing, it opens its mouth as it is.
The speed of absorption increases as the distance increases.
The dragon’s soul was absorbed into Veil’s belly in an instant.
“… … It’s disgusting too.”
this last moment. This time is the worst. Is this the feeling of licking the shell of a rotten raw egg?
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
The old man bowed his head towards the veil.
“Then move right away. To help with digestion, we have prepared a place where you can exercise lightly.”
The old man pointed in the north direction.
“There is a small country nearby. No, rather than a country, it should be called a tribe.”
“Is it a country of indigenous people?”
“yes.”
“… … It looks like it will be a bland exercise.”
“haha. Trampling on an ant won’t give you a workout, but it will help relieve some stress. You go for a walk thinking you are coming back.”
“… … indeed. If you think of it as a walk, it’s not too bad.”
Veil turned in the direction the old man pointed.
“Please go.”
The old man bowed his head again toward the veil.
Woo woo woo woo-!
At that time, the wind blew and wrapped around the body of the old man and Veil.
Bale’s eyes sharpened.
“… … Mr. Bale? Why all of a sudden… … .”
The old man asked with an anxious expression. Seeing Veil’s suddenly grim expression, he became anxious for no reason.
“… … this wind.”
Bale said, feeling the wind still blowing.
In an instant, it seems like an ordinary wind, but it is a wind that feels strangely unpleasant.
“In the wind… … Is something wrong?”
“This is the wind that blows in the aftermath of magic.”
The old man who is not a wizard doesn’t know, but this wind is not a natural wind.
There was mana in this wind, albeit weakly.
“The aftermath of magic… … . Are you saying they’re coming here?”
“no.”
The wind blowing now is just an aftershock.
Veil closed his eyes and sharpened his senses.
Inversely predicts wind movement based on the mana stored in the wind.
Find the place where the wind started to blow.
‘found.’
The destination was quickly found.
“… … West Africa.”
This wind originates from West Africa.
“West Africa… … . Could it be that the poison has already exploded?”
“no.”
Veil closed her eyes and frowned.
“It’s the opposite.”
This wind has no miasma at all.
This wind is not that kind of wind.
“The miasma is gone.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
The storm of miasma and takgi that formed around West Africa has disappeared.
This wind is a wind with such a meaning.
“… … Is it Saint Binoche?”
Bailey’s expression darkened.
* * *
The gap between the borders created using Finis began to suck in the miasma that filled West Africa at an insane speed.
“It looks like a black hole.”
Mimir sighed.
The venom and takgi swirled and were sucked away, just like a black hole.
“Heir. Are you mentally okay?”
“It’s a bit difficult, but it’s okay. It’s not to the point where I can’t stand it.”
Since the range is a range, the consumption of mental power is no joke.
If it were to happen, the magic might run out of control like this.
“If it’s hard, should I take more control?”
Currently, Mimir is my assistant, controlling about 30% of the magic formula.
Thanks to you, I can hold on like this.
“no. are you okay. You can leave it like this.”
Giving Mimir a little more control would make it easier.
But it shouldn’t be.
“If you go beyond this, there is a possibility that an imbalance will occur on the contrary. Better hold on.”
No matter what anyone says, I am the subject of this magic.
If I handed over control to Mimir any more, the subject might change.
If that happens, magic will lose its central point and run wild.
That’s not going to happen.
“That’s something I need to be careful about, but… … .”
Mimir blurted out with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
“… … okay. It’s better not to do anything that could be dangerous.”
Mimir looked at me with a helpless expression.
“Be strong and hold on.”
“… … You have to endure.”
Mimir turned his gaze away from me to the center of Phinis.
I also turned my gaze towards it.
“I’ll suck it all up in about five minutes.”
“At this rate, I don’t even need 5 minutes. It’s over in three minutes.”
3 minutes.
It’s no problem at all to hold on.
I focused on Finis’ control as it was.
3 minutes passed like that.
“… … uh huh.”
Finis sucked in all the miasma and takgi.
“great job.”
The crisis of world collapse has disappeared with this.
It was a pretty empty finish for the level of risk.
“Then let’s go back to the grounds of Halamanium. After returning and recovering your strength, use Finis to kill Mora… … .”
It was then.
“… … ! Heir!”
Mimir shouted with an urgent expression.
“behind!”
“Umbra!”
As Mimir told him to hide, he opened his umbra.
The ‘uh’ in Quo and the ‘La’ in Umbra were almost simultaneous.
I sensed what Mimir sensed, and immediately went into hiding.
And like that, at the same time as I hid myself in the shadows.
“… … hmm.”
A man appeared.
“Did you leave already?”
A man who seemed to embody black.
‘… … Bale stall.’
A self-proclaimed bale stall.
He was looking down at the ground with a displeased look on his face.
‘As expected, it was true that the veil played tricks.’
Mimir frowned.
‘A coward. I can’t do it with my skills, so I’m going to do something like this.’
It seems that he is enraged by Bale’s cowardly behavior.
‘calm down. It’s not a matter of a day or two for warlocks to act cowardly.’
‘It is, but… … .’
Mimir looked at the veil with his eyes wide open.
‘More than that. How did he know about the veil?’
The veil descended slowly and landed on the ground.
Then he slowly moved towards the center of Finis.
‘I must have installed an alarm device or something. It could be that they have installed a device that can measure the concentration of miasma in real time.’
After confirming that the concentration of miasma was decreasing, I immediately moved this way.
It was something that could have happened.
“… … Sein Binoche’s space charm?”
Veil muttered as he looked at the horrors Finnis had created in front of his eyes.
Looking at the gap in the space created by Finis, it seemed that he remembered Sein-sama’s space charm.
‘I’d appreciate it if they misunderstood that Sein-nim did it.’
I called for joy in my heart.
With this, the formula that Sein Binoche = successor to the bi-tenor style within the veil must have been further solidified.
“no.”
however.
“… … This is not Sein.”
The joy was fleeting.
“Someone used Finis.”
Black light emanated from Veil’s eyes.
“Someone who is not Sein. the finis. I used myth magic.”
Bale’s head slowly began to turn.
“and.”
Where the gaze of the veil stopped like that.
“… … He is still here.”
I was there.
