Chapter 64 – -63- The Countess, Bella Souders (6)
“Looks like you’ve arrived, Leon”
As a result of continuing the chase by slicing through several packs of wolves, he was able to reach the lair of the warlock.
Between the cracks in the rocks covered with dark green moss, a hideous and ominous energy overflowed.
Unlike the dry and cold outside, a warm and humid wind blew from the entrance of the cave.
“Be careful, mother.”
Upon entering the cave, the ominous magic felt stronger.
“Leon, what the hell is this…”
At the entrance to the cave, the wolves were lying face down as if they were dead. On the skins of the sleeping wolves, the magic mark was shining and sparkling.
Even if touched, the wolves that did not move seemed to be dead. The magical patterns engraved on the sleeping wolves were sending their magical energy to a point in the cave.
Following the flow of magical power, I went deep into the cave.
As if the wolves seen outside were test pieces, the sleeping wolves made bigger gestures as they went inside.
“This number, my God…!” Bella Souders sighed in amazement.
The number was frighteningly numerous, as she let out her drool. The wolves gathered in an orderly manner in the cave gave the impression that soldiers were gathered.
Even in the midst of her fright, she burned her fighting spirit, and she followed me deep into the cave, clinging tightly to her back.
There were traces of a person living in a space like a large artificially formed cavity.
Scattered clothes, stacked bowls, randomly scattered experimental tools, etc…
Following those traces, he was only able to encounter the Warlock.
Above the magic circle, a gray-haired man was sitting cross-legged with bloodshot eyes.
As if he had consumed an excessive amount of magic potion, the veins that could be seen from his skinny body glowed green and wriggled.
“Ah…You…Gods, trying to… Ruin my plans…” He told us in a voice that sounded terrifying, with a lot of cracked metal.
Around him, offerings used in blasphemous rituals, such as wolf hearts and inverted religious symbols, were arranged in their own regularity, adding to the creepiness and grotesqueness.
“Lord of light…” Bella Souds was calming her mind, drawing her sign of the cross.
“…Did you make these wolves?”
“To those who will die soon, why do I have to explain?…” He laughed and put magic into the magic circle.
At the same time, large pupils appeared from a dark place behind him. The huge creature that moved in an instant in the dark moved quickly to protect the warlock.
“Bite them both, Fenrir…” It was a warlock who commanded the terrible creature he had created with an unpleasant sound like a blackboard being ground.
As he supplied mana to the magic circle with his hands, the eyes of a huge wolf named ‘Fenrir’ turned purple and rushed at us.
“Leon!” With Bella’s telekinesis, we retreated and avoided the attack, giving us a moment to look after the wolf.
The wolf, which seemed to be about 4m tall, looked fine without a hit even though we evaded it and crashed into a stone wall.
It seemed that all kinds of magical imprints engraved on the huge hide were strengthening this wolf.
“Rion, you have to be careful…!” Thanks to the auxiliary magic Bella gave me, I felt that my movements were getting easier.
Opening its mouth, the wolf charged once more recklessly.
“Eat this!” Bella tossed a large boulder into its mouth, but it was a monster that smashed hard boulders as if they were tofu.
Contemplating, Bella throws the monster’s wisps of fire prepared in advance into the monster’s eyes and runs away. Her wisps of fire that hit her eyeball momentarily stopped her wolf, stopping her from pursuing her.
“Die!”
She attacked the blinded wolf, barely penetrating her thick hide and wounding her.
“Ha! Huh, hard work, everything” The black magician, who had been laughing unpleasantly, cured the wolf in an instant.
‘It’s tricky…’
The wolves sleeping all over the cave were sleeping well and supplying their masters with magic power. A huge wolf named Fenrir used his body language to protect his master perfectly.
When the wolf attacked to defeat it, the warlock healed the wound at once, and the wolf, which became stronger with the help of the owner, attacked like crazy.
If it was a normal character, it would have been a very difficult enemy to attack.
However, I was not a normal character.
The spirit art in this world was a power close to [Reality manipulation].
The power to change reality as desired by putting [Magic] Into [Will].
It was very difficult to learn, and the efficiency when learning a little was low, so it was a dead skill. It was an incredibly useful power if you reached the stage.
And with the experience points inherited from the previous worldview, I was able to easily rise to the level of [Spoiler Art].
I fired an arrow into the air above the cave, where the monstrous wolf wasn’t wary.
“Ke-Heng” It was a wolf that didn’t understand my behavior and ignored it and attacked me.
“The arrow bent and pierced the warlock.“
The arrow, which changed its trajectory in an instant, pierced the warlock’s shoulder in the air. Sharp arrowheads cut through the old man’s body.
The advantage of linguistic magic was that it could produce the desired result with a small amount of mana if it had a minimum probability.
The statement [The black magician died suddenly] Was a manipulation of reality that I couldn’t handle with my magic yet,
[The arrow changed its trajectory and hit the black magician.] It was possible enough to manipulate reality. The degree of twisting the movement of an arrow that had already been shot and existed in reality was a skill that was possible even at the current level.
“Quaaaaagh!” The old warlock, who stabbed him in the shoulder, glared at the wolf in disbelief, then yelled and ordered:
“Pen, Li…R! Come on, kill them both!!!”
The charging wolf stumbles over a vine that Bella suddenly jumps up on. He swung his greatsword and left a long cut on the fallen wolf’s soft stomach.
“Come on, wake up…!” It was a warlock who tried to restore the wolf by pouring magic, but his recovery was much slower than before, probably because of his shoulder injury, which made him unable to concentrate.
In the eyes of the wolf who stumbled and barely got up, I saw myself shooting an arrow again.
“No…! Stop it…!”
“The arrow bent, and pierced the warlock.”
The wolf jumped at the arrow and blocked the arrow with his body.
“Nice job, Fenrir…! Now those two…!”
The arrow from before was just an arrow with no command applied.
Fooled by my bluffing, the warlock made his escorting wolf jump into the air, and the moment the wolf guarding him jumped high following the arrow, there was no obstacle left between the warlock and me.
At the black magician who hurriedly set up obstacles with mental movements, I shot an arrow using the spirit of the word once again.
“The arrow pierced the warlock’s forehead.“
“No…!” The obstacles he hastily pulled up with a white expression were quickly removed by Bella’s magic.
An arrow shot straight through pierced the warlock’s forehead, leaving a thin line of blood on his pale skin.
The warlock’s body falls slowly as his head is pierced and he dies instantly.
Perhaps because of the death of its master, the wolf that attacked us also fell into a fit and went mad, then slumped and died.
“…Are you dead?”
The mother cautiously approached the wolf and lifted her eyelids to check.
“The connection with the caster was suddenly cut off, and it seems that he died of shock.”
I did it. You have succeeded in defeating the black magician single-handedly.
The tension was released, and a sense of accomplishment and pleasure refreshed his head.
Putting aside the happy notifications that the quest was successful or that the level had risen, he searched the black magician’s residence.
I moved the books that were around the corpse into my bag and moved inside, following the wall.
“Rion, here…!” The mother, who was searching her room together, exclaimed in surprise.
‘Bingo’
Beneath the table with many tools for engraving magic power, there was a sack full of magic stones. The luster that shimmered like a jewel was very lovely.
I was able to rest in peace at the thought that I had found everything I wanted and achieved everything I set out to do.
The black magician’s corpse was roughly collected, and a fire was lit in the inner dwelling to warm the room.
Having lived here for a long time, the old, grumpy warlock has made a cozy living space perfectly in the cave.
During a short break, I read the diary I found around his desk.
“…Just before he was expelled from the Magic Tower for violating research ethics, he stole a huge amount of magic crystals and ran away, perfected his skills in this territory, and tried to escape…”
At the end of the diary, there was written a grand delusion that he would build up his strength overseas and return to destroy the Mage Tower that ignored him.
“Everything, though impossible.” With a stupid expression, he mocked the dead warlock and put the diary into the fire pit.
The yellow paper crackled, adding heat to the furnace.
Near the brazier, Bella wiggled her fingers as if she were still in the excitement of the battle.
She was a bigger help than she thought. The magician’s talent looked very good. Since she has been using magic for the first time in a while, she was immature at first, but it was her fighting ability that improved as time went on.
Didn’t the previous engagement draw the wolf’s attention at the right time? He seemed to have a natural flair for combat using magic.
“What are you staring at so hard, Leon?”
As she tilted her eyes and guessed the intention of my gaze, she lowered her blushing face, as if she misunderstood it without permission.
“…Sir, Leon…”
“Yes, mother?”
The mother, with the tips of her ears burning red, slowly took off her coat with an embarrassed expression on her face.
After removing all of the inner fabric covering her breasts, she looked at my reaction while feeling very embarrassed.
“You really are a mean child…Rion…♥” She said, happily receiving my lustful gaze.
Squeak, squeak. My mother, who had taken off her clothes made of soft velvet and tidied them up, approached me slowly and whispered in my ear.
“Is this… Really that good? Whoa…♥”
With most of her breasts exposed in her embarrassing expression, she granted me the prize.
“Good work, Leon… Use it as you please…♥”
Pressing her soft breasts proudly with her fine fingers, she begged me to accept her ‘reward’.
I planned to go to her estate and enjoy her, but it’s always welcome when her plans get twisted this way.
“Sss…♥ Leon…♥”
Sitting on my lap, enjoying the way she looked at me lovingly, I slowly and gently caressed her breasts.
Once at this moment, enjoying the touch of her two plump breasts, I thought about her next suggestion of her gal to her.
