Chapter 71 – 071. High Digit Wizard (2)
The ground made by the roaring small meteorites crashing down was nowhere to be seen.
When meteorites collided with each other, large craters were created, and in some places, there were lava fields formed by melting the ground due to high heat.
The spectacle of creating a huge volcanic inferno with just one magic was like a demon appearing on the ground and turning the whole world into a sea of fire.
“Awesome…”
There was only pure admiration in Erin’s head as she watched the scene from within Illyana’s protective shield.
The fact that only one person could create such a sight is at a loss for words at the fortune of watching the abilities of a continental hero that I have only heard about.
It goes without saying that Alex also had similar thoughts to Erin.
“Awesome? What do you mean?”
“Great, I mean great!”
When she raised her eyes and asked herself, Erin answered right away with her eyes twinkling.
“Huh, you should be able to understand what the kids are saying these days.”
Illyana grumbled a little and looked at the demon that was the center of the meteor’s fall with a sad expression.
“He is alive.”
“Shit… Damn, damn, damn, damn!”
The succubus, with tanned skin and traces of burns, contorted his face and cursed.
Her wounds are gradually being restored to their original state, but the demon who has lost her reason murmurs softly as she glars at Illyana, who is causing her unreasonable pain.
“I will kill you. I will never kill you I will definitely kill you.”
“The black magic that controls that shadow. It’s really great.”
Illyana, completely oblivious to the demonic gaze of hatred, showed admiration for her shadow, which warded off physical attacks from her collision with the meteorite.
And looking at the devil’s recovery speed, which was obviously slower than the first time, Illyana guessed her condition.
‘Suddenly.’
“Well, it doesn’t matter if I end you. Because that’s not my role.”
“What?”
“Baby.”
“Yes? Me, me… ?”
Calling Erin, who had awakened in a nine-tailed fox state, Illyana stared blankly at her, observing her condition.
Awakening after inheriting some of the power of the divine beast, she recalled the words of Eun-hyeon, who entrusted her with magical education in preparation for the time when she would awaken one day.
– You’re a specialist when it comes to magic. Can you at least frame it?
I never thought it would be now.
I came out after hearing the general story from Eun-hyeon in prison.
The Shinsoo inside her body and the abilities of the Shinsoo as well.
The presence of her new powers, which she had never seen before, intrigued Illyana, but she knew that now was not the time for her to exercise her inquisitive spirit.
“I can roughly understand why Hyun-i asked A-ga to handle that.”
“Yes?”
“Baby handle it.”
“Yes!?”
In response to Illyana’s sudden order, everyone, whether they were enemies or allies, spat out shrill voices mixed with incomprehensible questions.
“What do you mean by that! If Illyana-sama takes care of it… !”
“I used up some of my mana. Now you can’t use the defense magic using that shadow. From now on, it’s purely a physical melee fight.”
To put it simply, Lira’s current state is MP depletion.
By using her magical powers and her abilities in the dream world, Lila can restore her wounds to the state before the damage no matter how much damage she takes.
In a way, it is a similar ability to ‘time reversal’, the power of Eunhyeon’s apostle, but her ability of her lyre is not to return to its original state, but it is said that she can intentionally tune and create the best state she wants. A difference existed.
Given the condition of being in the ‘Forest of Dreams’, a space only for succubus here, not in reality, in some ways, the ability of the succubus could be superior to that of Eun-hyeon.
Even though Illyana was aware of that fact, she did not intentionally kill it, drove her lyre to her dying state, and poured her own magic power into her recovery, leading her to her current state of magical exhaustion. .
This was to drain her powers in order to somewhat condition Erin to capture her demons herself.
“Yeah, but I still…”
To Erin, who was pointed out out of the blue, she was just embarrassed because she didn’t know that.
“Hyun entrusted the handling of that to Aga, not me.”
“That’s right, but…”
“That’s the same as the one who made Aga’s brother like that. Out of it?”
“… That’s right.”
“Are you going to entrust it to someone other than you? Can you accept that Can you stretch out your feet and sleep with satisfaction after work?”
“No.”
“Then you have to go.”
“Yes.”
“Whether it turns into porridge or rice, bump into it. Hyun-i couldn’t have made A-ga do the impossible. I don’t know if it’s a dirty job.”
“That… Yes.”
At those words, Erin smiled bitterly.
“What can I do?”
“You… Well, I honestly don’t know. Because this is for that child to grow up. Would you like to take a look?”
As Illyana tilted her head, Alex put on a pitying expression.
He was the son of a duke, one of the highest ranks in the kingdom, and a member of the Krasir Royal Knights, who received the greatest honor just by joining, but he had a bitter thought that he was a picture hanging on the wall at this place.
However, personally, he also wanted to see how far the girl who had to go through a lot of hardships due to her half-brother’s rude behavior would grow, so Alex obediently nodded her head and stood next to Illyana.
Illyana pointed her lyre with her glance and her determined Erin nodded and walked towards her in front of her.
“Under… Are you really going to deal with me alone?”
Lira, who took it as her blatant disrespect, contorted her face with a look that greatly hurt her pride.
“No matter how depleted my mana is, I won’t be able to beat you alone!”
Being ignored by humans had severely scratched her self-esteem.
“How did I get here! How dare humans get in my way!”
It was only for a moment that the large amount of mana that had been gathered from humans for years was consumed by Illyana’s attack.
In other words, collecting is difficult and writing is a moment.
His plan, which had spent years infiltrating human society and raiding civilians, gathered strength so as not to be discovered, melted into society to gather information, and exploited a large amount of mana while playing with humans, was a beautiful sight. It failed.
Not to mention her mana, which she had accumulated so far, was blown away like this, so Lira’s hateful eyes pointed to Erin in front of her as the target to vent her anger.
With her eyes wide open and glaring at her Erin, Lyra drew her own sword and aimed it at her Erin.
Faced head-on as her black-red magic shook Lira, creating an unusual atmosphere for her, Erin trembled slightly, gripped her rapier tightly, and aimed it at Lira.
A woman’s voice came into Erin’s head as she felt goose bumps all over her body.
[Four Digit Normal Magic]
[Telepathy]
[Don’t be scared. Activate the magic within the body and strengthen the body.]
‘Yes yes!’
[The opponent can’t maintain that shadow magic anymore. From now on, it’s purely a physical fight. Because the magic power contained in the body and sword right now is the remaining amount of magic power left in that demon. Even if you drag out time, you will gradually gain an advantage.]
[I’m no stranger to fighting, but I know the basics of how to use magic.]
When Illyana’s voice echoed in her head, Erin was a little startled, but she immediately regained her composure and activated her magical energy to strengthen her body.
The swords of Erin, a new nine-tailed fox with the ‘best teaching’ on her back, and Lyra, the succubus, the owner of the Forest of Dreams, collided, signaling the start of the fight between the two beings.
“Witch, are you skilled in swordsmanship?”
“No.”
“Then, what kind of advice can you give me with telepathy…?” .”
“Because there’s no law saying that I’m a wizard and can’t give advice on physical battles where swords collide.”
Just as Eunhyun, who was not even a wizard, taught Illyana, who was a wizard.
What Illyana was advising Erin through her mental transmission was the use of her magical powers.
Whether it’s a magician, a warrior who uses weapons, or an adventurer or knight, the use of magical power is a virtue that must be possessed in a life-and-death fight.
In the meantime, through Illyana’s education, Erin has been steadily practicing the basics of training and operation to increase her basic magical power.
This was an advanced course in which she had to use what she had learned in the midst of numerous attacks and defenses.
[Circulation slowed down. Sooner.]
‘Oh… Yes!’
When the witch’s transmission sound echoed in Erinn’s head, knowing that she was distracted by blocking the sword attack of the succubus, Lyra, and that the circulation of magic within her body was stagnant, Erin gritted her teeth and returned to the magic within her body. Started to circulate.
Strengthening the body by circulating mana is the foundation of the basics in combat using the body.
Just as the heart supplies blood to the whole body through pumping and the supplied blood returns to the heart through circulation.
It maximizes the body’s ability by artificially circulating mana throughout the body.
It was a body enhancement that strengthened human strength and agility, unlike physical enhancement that strengthened defense by deploying magic throughout one’s body.
There was a difference between the method of strengthening the body, which is to spread the curtain of magic on the body once and maintain it, and to continuously move and circulate the magic of the body, which require enormous concentration.
Engaging in battle while maintaining the circulation of magic was more difficult than doing two different types of work at the same time using the left and right hands.
Erin, who had learned how to cycle magical power through Eunhyeon and Illyana’s education to some extent, gradually developed her habits into habits and her habits into instincts in the struggle for survival at the risk of each other’s lives.
Kaaang!
Surprised by Erin’s fierce counterattack for the first time, Lira’s body reflexively closed her sword and was pushed behind her, unable to overcome the shock.
Obviously, Lyra was getting nervous in a different aspect from the beginning, when Lira was dominant and pushing Erin.
‘What the hell… As time goes by, isn’t she getting stronger little by little?’
At first, Erin’s sword struggled against her own onslaught due to her awkwardness, but as time went on, she received Lyra’s sword and even showed her counterattack.
It was because Erin had gradually become accustomed to fighting her battles while maintaining the circulation of magic within her body to some extent.
Even while Illyana and Alex were talking like that, a fierce battle was maintained between the nine-tailed fox and the succubus.
The cause of Erinn’s tremendous growth rate was not only Illyana’s advice, but the existence of another person’s help.
[Barbarian Seonjutsu (狐族 仙術)]
[Hundred Ghost Night Trips]
Her whole body, Erin, begins to shimmer with blue flames.
The ability of a nine-tailed fox that was created when a part of the divine beast’s power that was dwelling in her body began to awaken.
One of those traits was able to manifest in her Erin’s body.
This ability allowed Erin to unconsciously summon one Hundred Ghosts as Miho, a Shinsoo in her body, allowed Erin to release her ability so that she could manifest Hundred Demon Nights.
But basically, because she had just awakened, Erin, who had lost her aptitude for being a nine-tailed fox, could not maintain the form of a white ghost, even though she was able to summon it.
Because of this, Miho boldly gave up the body composition of the White Ghost and possessed only her soul in her body.
The spirit of the Three Swordsman White Ghost, a weapon of a similar type to Erinn, begins to settle in her Errin’s body.
[Nice to meet you. My new master.]
‘Uh… ? Who, who… ?’
Erin was taken aback when she heard the voice of a mature woman other than Illyana.
[My name is Galahad. I was summoned by the original master to help you.]
The soul of the three swordsmen, one of the hundred ghosts who had a history of fighting one-on-one with Eun-hyeon, who had been summoned by the nine-tailed fox, became possessed in Erin’s head.
‘Oh, what a sudden…’
[It’s complicated to explain, so focus on the fight first.]
‘Yes yes!’
[As I lead, move your body.]
Erin’s rapier, the white ghost that can lay the foundation for her three sword skills, was the result of being chosen by Miho and forced to settle down.
