Chapter 51 – Fall of the Great Sage (1)
Episode 51: Fall of the Great Sage (1)
Gripping, pure magic and demonic energy collide and resonate.
Lesilia, a step away, watched the situation with her hands together.
Delphine glanced at the saintess and smiled twistedly.
Then, he fixed his staff and slammed it on the floor.
ㅡ Guggugu…
A slight earthquake occurred, revealing a magic circle.
The stone statues in a row on either side creaked and moved. A group of giant stone statues emit red light in their eyes as if waking up from sleep.
A large number of red eyes soon head towards Ikarut. Ikarut continuously radiates a black, muddy aura.
“Ouch… Gooooo!”
The wild roar of the stone statues followed one after another. Each of them protects their weapons and runs to Ikarut.
Thump, thump, a threatening noise. Ikarut indifferently snaps his fingers.
“Rescue?!”
Thud!
The aura wriggling along the floor was intercepted by the toe of the stone statue.
When one of the statues hit its butt, the other statues fell one by one, like dominoes. As I twist my fingertips, the stone statues float up.
And it went down in a straight line.
Bang! Paper weave
The stone statues were smashed. A stone statue broken into pieces. The piece of stone stung by the tip of the foot disappears like smoke.
“Everything is gone… !”
At the saintess’ cry, Ikarut twitched one eyebrow. It couldn’t have ended easily.
This is because dealing with the great sage while playing the game as a demon king character was the most difficult.
Delphine, who was sitting on the boat, just watched, tiptoeing. Even put on a relaxed smile
I had an ominous feeling.
“Gureuk, guuuuu… Oh oh oh… “
Pieces of stone statues rose up and began to cling to each other. Like magnets, they push and pull each other to form.
Ikarut immediately raised an aura. He hit the seam where the stone fragments were connected with his blade. Aura that extends together.
Upon touching the seam, the aura dissipated and was absorbed.
“Ouch… Colloquial… !”
A new stone statue was born.
‘It seems to have absorbed and regenerated demonic energy.’
A stone statue that has become harder and stronger.
These guys were more annoying than I thought. It was a case of recklessly shedding an aura that would only give you strength.
Ikarut tore apart this dimension. When several different spaces appeared, various weapons poured out.
The only means of direct attack was weapons.
“Oh, you made a very good choice. These guys are made of ancient artifacts. If you fight with energy, everything is likely to be taken away.”
“You’re being rather annoying.”
“How about this? Those of you who enjoy fighting will be delighted.”
Thud! Delphine lowered her wand again. The magic circle drawn on the floor quietly emits light.
A slight magical power rode up and permeated every corner of the stone statue. Absorbing energy, the stone statue’s body became rough as if it were a roider.
“Gooooo!!”
The group of stone statues showed sharper movements than before. Ikarut pulled out an aura as thin as a thread on his fingertips.
The surrounding weapons floated up and attacked the stone statue. Various weapons such as swords, spears, and blunt weapons were flying in the air, and it seemed that they were performing a sword dance.
The group of stone statues quickly dodges and tries to counterattack. I couldn’t keep up with the weapon’s attack speed.
‘Where are the weaknesses?’
It was a monster I hadn’t seen in the game. Ikarut stroked his fingertips as if he were playing music, thoroughly examining his weaknesses.
“Master, it’s the heart! Stab the heart in the middle with your weapon!”
As the stone statue holding the spear swung it without hesitation, the core near the heart was visible.
Lesilia, who found it first, cried out loud with all her might.
“Master?”
Delphine let out a questioning voice. At the same time, the stone statues turn their heads.
The expression of the great sage, who was relaxed, reminded me of incontinence. As soon as it shatters, cold anger rises.
“Oh, it’s not enough that you, the saintess, betrayed the human world, and you take the demon king as your master. This one, Retina is said to be quite angry when she hears it?”
When the tip of the wand was slammed down, a flash of red light soared.
A huge amount of magic power flowed out. A group of stone statues absorb a vast amount of energy.
Kikigik, the gaze of the stone statue turning around. The target of the attack changed to Lesilia. Lesilia squeezed her hands together, and faint veins sprouted on the backs of her hands.
As the beautiful and enchanting holy power flows out, the group of stone statues approaches as if possessed.
“I have to kill you first. Saint, no matter how much you accept defeat, it will be bitter if you betray the human world.”
“… That is a misunderstanding.”
“It’s fun, it’s fun! Wasn’t the title I just heard the owner? As if you were a dog of some sort.”
Delphine raised the corners of her mouth crookedly.
Beyond anger, her life blazes up. She knew why the great sage was angry. As a child, she was betrayed by the elders of the Order.
The envy of the elders created a dirty inferiority complex. This led to betrayal.
The great sage almost died because of the elder’s slander. Her school, which had grown thanks to her, became part of the Empire and merged with other schools.
Delphine was fed up with the school’s progress against her intentions, so she hid in the Magic Tower.
The one who reached out to Delphine, who was cut off from the world, was none other than the hero Rex.
“I hate traitors the most in the world.”
Delphine bit her lip. Mouth dripping with blood. As Lesilia’s eyes drooped sadly, Delphine’s anger grew even greater.
“A bitch like a fox… “
Delphine spat out a short curse and banged with her cane! Pounded
Like a loaded bullet, a group of stone statues rushed towards Saintess Ururu. Lesilia was not afraid.
She rather seemed to understand, closed her eyes, and assumed her prayer posture. Delphine’s face contorted for an instant, as if she was repenting for not being able to relax.
“Broken!”
The moment the statues raised their weapons as a group, Ikarut’s fingertips moved slightly.
Papabak! The weapons connected to the thin aura are each pierced into the core of the heart. Tung, the unconscious stone statues fall one by one.
“Still stupid cattle. It’s pitiful to see him bewildered by mere emotions.”
“… !! This!”
Before I knew it, Ikarut moved behind Delphine. His anger made him unable to read signs.
Quaang! Delphine hurriedly avoided the seat. Only the wreckage of the ship remained. Ikarut attacked like a blade with a massive aura.
An attack that follows relentlessly.
Delphine runs and touches the magic circles created in advance with her staff.
Columns of water gushed, fireballs flew, and various magic unfolded.
In response, Ikarut lightly canceled. Then, spreading an aura, it flew towards Delphine like a net.
“Chit! Annoying—”
Delphine wields a wide magic screen. A black aura thickly followed the veil. Then, thanks to the rising fire wind, Pas Sut disappears.
Delphine sighed and grinned. Even in adverse circumstances, the great sage tried not to lose his composure.
“Whoa, it’s been a long time since we fought to the point of sweating.”
I threw the cloak with the artifact on it. A high-legged outfit made of matt shiny material.
The mounds and ax marks were clearly visible. It was a special suit that doubled mana.
Delphine showed great momentum. Spin her wand and create a new magic circle.
“… Kuruk, kueek… “
A familiar sound was heard. It was similar to the sound of the shock that had attacked the village of Syllond.
Lesilia, noticing it, slightly tired of her complexion. Her wispy look was the same, with multiple tentacles sticking out.
If there was anything else, it wasn’t a dirty color. It was the same aqua color as Delphine’s hair.
“I tried summoning the monster that attacked the village that day.”
“The very idea of summoning a savage mutant is amazing.”
“Hehe, curiosity is a great driving force for wizards.”
The monster was a monster from the Demon Realm. Mutations often appear depending on the characteristics of the sometimes degenerated demon.
And the demon world pursues strength and places importance on rank.
Demons, monsters, and mutants, when a strong one appears, immediately pulls off its tail. As soon as Chokkai sensed Ikarut’s energy that day, he suddenly ran away.
“Quueek… Queueek!”
The newly born Chokkai howls. There was no fear of the demon king. Since he was a summoned beast of Delphine, he obeys only the orders of the summoner.
Delphine stroked the tentacle as if it were cute despite its disgusting appearance. Several tentacles quiver in a pleasant way at the affectionate touch.
“Why did you leave it alone? That monster is a monster that attacked the villagers and took away the virginity and lives of women!”
Lesilia did not understand.
It was a monster that caused a lot of damage to the village of Syllond. She used her holy power to defeat the monster, but the cave collapsed due to the weak ground, taking many women’s lives.
I summoned such a monster without killing it.
“Why… I still believed in you… “
She let go of the tentacles that roamed the village.
The day I found out about this from Ikarut, it felt like a part of my heart was broken. From the beginning, there were warriors and warriors. Why did they leave the village unsaved?
Even after trying to save her Lucy, she didn’t remember her and after taking her out, she thought she had rescued the women of the town. But it was a huge misunderstanding.
Lesilia also had doubts about them.
“Wouldn’t that be what you who betrayed humans would say? Could it be that you sympathize with the women who were killed by monsters?”
“Not a pity! And why did you let the monsters attack you? If you had been stationed around the cave from the beginning, even if you tried to save the village women-“
“Look, you seem to be mistaken, but we are just an expeditionary force following the hero to subdue the demon lord. I don’t know why we have to save the women who were taken in without a hitch.”
“I beg your pardon… ?”
Lesilia blinks her eyes slowly. Delphine hides her ear canal in her hammered fingernail, then blows it into her ear.
She tucks her braids back behind her and lifts her eyes wide open.
“Did I just say wait? Our expedition had only one purpose. The death of that arrogant demon king. That was all there was.”
“But… Before that, you helped people in need all over the place.”
“Ohhh, as expected, you also have memories from the past. I couldn’t help it then. Don’t you know the personality of the Rex guy? Growing up to be annoyingly selfless… “
Recalling her old memories, Delphine laughs.
It’s old anyway The Rex of that day is gone. She was a newly born Retina warrior.
“Retina asked for it. If the demon king comes to find the holy sword, I will ask you to stop him to the point of risking his life.”
“Looks like the hero found it first. So, where is the Holy Sword?”
“Well… Isn’t it the first priority to confront me?”
Delphine raised a vast amount of mana. A magic circle was automatically drawn on the tip of her wand.
The magic power that rises through the magic circle.
“Queueek!”
The monster that absorbed mana roared loudly and spurred on.
Foolishly attacks Ikarut.
Ikarut, who clicked her tongue, tried to raise her aura.
“I will stop this.”
Lesilia took the lead.
