Episode 101. Heidern (2)
The fishing rod that contained my full power went in properly. Heidern, who was hit directly on his bare body, could no longer stand up.
Magic power sometimes protects its owner. The higher it is, the more it can even allow one to survive a fatal wound.
The combat department also protects the body by covering it with armor that does not show any magical power.
In short, you can see how brave Heidern is, who is still breathing despite being hit by my full power with his body sealed with magic power.
`There really are no cockroaches.`
But the fact that he fainted didn’t change.
When I was hit and sent flying a little while ago, I felt a few bones breaking all the way to my shoulder. It will probably take at least 24 hours for me to wake up.
Of course, I wasn’t normal either.
“Coolook!”
What was thought to be a simple cough turned out to be blood coming out of the mouth. The cause of the hemoptysis was none other than poison.
The poisonous fog created by Poison Cloud dissipated as soon as the caster collapsed, but the effects remained.
[Status abnormality occurs – You are poisoned by the superior magic `Poison Cloud`.]
[Time limit 5 minutes. (05:04)]
As with other attributes, poison attribute magic varies greatly in power and type.
But what I’m addicted to now isn’t even mid-level magic, it’s high-level magic.
Common poisons can be cured with a sip of antidote, but poisons from higher-level magic are so bad that even taking an antidote can barely cure it.
`I really would have died if I didn’t have this.`
Raindrops of Manyeong.
I took out the finest relic I had received from Cardinal Bellion in Kreuz. I opened the transparent cork-like cap and took a sip.
[Top magic `Poison Cloud` is neutralized.]
The stomach that was sore is completely healed and the dull body becomes much lighter. The effects of the holy water that was born from the arduous research of believers have shone through.
Even the scars from the teacher’s injuries were completely healed.
`You were planning to kill me openly.`
The rays coming from the flower a little while ago were like that, and the poison cloud was like that too.
I thought he would be a little arrogant because he was just a cadet, but he used some pretty powerful techniques for someone like that.
It was as if he recognized me as something special.
『When you were knocking it down earlier, did you have a funny thought? What did you say… ‘This is the fishing rod that killed your master!’?』
‘Don’t interfere unnecessarily.’
“What’s the big deal? He’s already a worthless guy. When he wakes up, why don’t you say something like, ‘My pet snake ate your teacher.'”
puck!-
『Bam!』
‘Is this crazy?’
I hit Muto’s head with Leviathan while he was making thoughtless remarks.
Muto rolled on the floor with a scream that didn’t match his appearance. Since snakes don’t have limbs, they couldn’t wrap themselves around the painful area.
『But I’ve been feeling a little squeamish lately. Since signing a contract with you, I can’t help but feel my nature suppressed. I want to somehow vent all this accumulated energy, and I want to scream right now.』
This snake cub was still a snake cub. I was foolish enough to think things would calm down a bit after signing the contract.
There is a very high chance that this guy will be seen by the Archmage Heidern.
It was fortunate that he was absent-minded when fighting. If this guy had opened his mouth, Heidern would have exploded in rage and used all his might.
Then, this guy and I will go straight to the bad ending.
`You’re saying that you can’t help it because your body is aching?`
“You know what? That’s why I call you a vomit.”
`But there is a way.`
Muto tilts his head, asking what it is.
I poured a thousand raindrops on the head of this snake cub who made me angry with every word he said.
『Ouch, hot! What the hell is this? This vomit… Ouch, hot!』
Muto trembled as if he had been doused with hot water. Then, his body lost its endurance and he collapsed.
“Ouch, oh, oh, oh… Why is it like this again?”
`This is the punishment for the trouble I just had.`
“You’ll be a piece of shit your whole life, you little brat…”
Muto, still without any intention of reflecting, seeps back into my shadow.
Considering the characteristics of this race, this is only natural.
—————
Once this mission is completed, you will receive the following benefits:
[New Magic Tool – `Trans Card` Production Activated!]
—————
Now that I think about it, I had completely forgotten.
How does this thing always pop up and surprise people when it’s almost time to disappear?
—————
N Trap Card (Normal)
N-Trans Card (Rare)
—————
I expected a different type to come out, but I was skeptical that it was a card magic tool.
However, as soon as I saw the performance, my dissatisfaction subsided.
—————
N-Trans Card (Rare)
Place two cards in different places. The opponent who touches the card will be moved to the place where the other card is. Or, you can attach it to your body and change the place to match the opponent.
Although this card is specialized for space travel, it has a distance suggestion.
[Required Materials: 1 Space-Time Material]
[Required Credit: 500000]
—————
Compared to the single-use trap cards, this was a permanent magical tool.
However, as it is rare, the required credits are high.
A magical tool that allows you to change locations by force. If used well, it seems like it could enhance your fishing technique.
The problem is the required material, but spacetime material is not that common, so it is difficult to obtain.
However, if you successfully defeat a boss during the game, you can obtain it from the spot where the boss died.
There may be another one somewhere in this world, but you only get one chance to get it in the game.
And that boss is…
“Isn’t this a total jackpot?”
It’s right here.
Mosria is an artificially created spirit. During the process of its creation, distortions in space and time were applied to various parts of the research building, so it was greatly affected by them.
This is because some parts of the guy’s body also have spatiotemporal properties.
I left the fallen Heidern behind and approached the room where the guy was. As I walked, numerous green moths seemed to be fluttering around, welcoming me.
-I will not allow any further access. Human.
“….”
At the end of the passage was a large open space. I held my breath as I looked at the giant moth floating in the air in its center.
The sight of numerous eye pupils carved into wings befitting its enormous size was so creepy that it reminded me of one of the reasons why this game was not rated for all ages.
The appearance was completely different from the green sphere that had been floating in the air the last time. Even though it was artificial, it made me wonder if it was really a spirit.
“It’s been a long time.”
– Reveal your identity, Human. If you don’t, you will be executed immediately.
Moths flying through the air gather together to form all sorts of weapons. As expected, this guy recognizes people through magic or codes rather than their faces.
“Epsilon, chroma key.”
-… .
“And this magic. Have you forgotten?”
At the same time as the secret, he released a unique magical power that only Envyel could release. Even though he only released it once, he was out of breath to the point of exhaustion.
As expected, it was impossible to continuously imitate the magic of the great wizard. However, that one time was enough to make the guy let go of his hostility.
-Welcome. Enviel Jang… L…
Mosria, who had confirmed the owner, stopped attacking and suddenly stuttered. Although she could never rebel against her owner, she must have felt something suspicious.
because….
-Are you really Elder Enviel?
“Have you forgotten? We met like this last time too.”
-But why did you attack Heidern?
“….”
I wasn’t completely stupid. If it was a fight between me and Heidern, I would have watched it from beginning to end.
I can’t help but feel a sense of discomfort when I, the person who defeated Heidern, suddenly appears as his master.
-I was to destroy this academy as soon as I sensed the evil side of humanity, as per the Creator’s command. That was the will of the two Creators, and that will came from Elder Enviel’s brain. But…
“But why did you suddenly pop out like this and interrupt me?”
And he was stupid, because he never recognized people by their faces.
It just seemed threatening to mass-produce an army of golems due to the magical power nullification caused by the Yellow Stamp.
“You know, haven’t you ever thought it was strange? Why did I take your Yellow Stamp, which is like an extension of you? And why did I change your command back then?”
I said sarcastically with a bitter smile.
Then Mosria began to flap her wings slightly.
-If it weren’t for that command… the whole plan would have been perfect. Because of that, even if I summoned the Yangsan Golem, it wouldn’t be able to attack… All I could do was induce a mental breakdown with verbal abuse.
It was a trembling voice. The guy must be starting to notice it.
-If only I had the Yellow Stamp… I could have disabled the use of magic and then controlled Heidern to destroy him. Why did you take them all, Elder Enviel!
“Do I look like Envy to you?”
-…!
A group earthquake occurred in the eyes embedded in the wings.
Because he was born as a spirit, he can feel emotions. And the emotions he feels now will be the first and last, most stimulating emotions.
[Erosion rate decrease: -190%]
[+ 19000 Credits]
-But clearly with magic power…
“That’s an imitation.”
-Then what’s the password?
“I just happened to know that too.”
Suddenly an earthquake occurs. The temperature rises as if a volcano has formed, and the entire space turns bright red.
And Mosria also began to turn from turquoise to red. Anger took over his body.
-So you’re saying you were imitating Elder Enviel?
“Isn’t the one who got fooled the fool?”
-Humaneeeeeeeee!!
“And you know what? Your elder, it’s really delicious.”
-Kuaaaaaaah!!
The shaking becomes more intense as the roar of rage spreads. The moths that were hovering around are dyed red and swirl around like a whirlwind.
It was like a tornado made of blood… but unfortunately it couldn’t cause me any harm.
-Fucking… crazy… humaneeeeee!
Human human it’s noisy.
A guy whose speech has become strangely altered, like a robot whose circuits have broken down due to anger.
But, as expected from a chapter boss, he wasn’t the type of guy to end it like this.
-I will destroy you all. I will bury this entire subspace in exchange for my life! You will never be able to escape!
The earthquake got worse and worse. It felt like I was inside a bomb.
-I’ll blow myself up like this and blow up you and this entire academy! It’s impossible to subdue me, an artificial spirit, with physical force! You have no chance of winning…
“I thought I heard a loud noise, but what is that ugly thing?”
“It’s ugly.”
Then someone appeared and cut down the guy’s appearance.
It was Jenny and Crona who were wandering around this underground.
“Radon! Are you okay? Where are you hurt?”
“I never thought there would be a place like this in subspace.”
And Professor Radian and Professor Stella followed behind.
The two of them looked at my body as soon as they saw me. How come they fit so well together?
“Hey buddy! You’re here. I’m so sad!”
Then Mary appears and suddenly clings to me. Then Ruska appears and pulls Mary away, saying:
“What is this idiot doing now? Can’t you see that the situation is serious?”
“But my mind is also serious! The cans keep talking nonsense… Ugh!”
The nonsense hits Mary’s chest with the words you’re talking about. Only then does the little girl become quiet.
-Destruction! Human! Human!!
Radian looks at Mosria with a dumbfounded expression.
“Could that delicious monster be Mosria?”
“That’s right. It looks exactly like it did when it was first born.”
Bayman appeared behind him and answered.
Everyone was ready to fight, but now that Bayman was here, there was no need to fight anymore.
“Just buy me some time to incapacitate the guy.”
“i get it!”
As soon as Bayman spoke, he immediately leaped into the air.
Judging by the way he floated in that state, he seemed to have mastered some kind of wind magic, but it was thanks to the propulsion device attached to his shoes, which were made using alchemy.
“Everyone, shoot Bayman!”
Everyone agreed with Radian’s command, but I remained silent.
I know I shouldn’t be doing this out of courtesy, but… I couldn’t help but laugh.
This is because the opponent did not attack at all even though I was prepared.
At best, nothing much happened other than screaming.
It’s been 10 minutes since I held the weight like that.
After Mosria was completely neutralized, I felt embarrassed because of the determination I had put into capturing her.
