YM778.TV Chapter 71.2
Sareureureu-.
The Lich’s strong body turned into sand and disappeared.
The skeletons and zombies that were rustling around also got scattered into a handful of sand.
I don’t know what happened, but it was a good thing that there were no longer any beings that could become our enemies.
『Foolish Aleister. You dare refuse my orders…?』
The monster’s voice echoed long.
Its body’s state was battered and ripped apart, spewing out purple mucus. Or was it blood?
“Hey, Theo, how long do we have to beat this guy? How is it not dying?”
After dealing with the giant monster for 10 minutes, it looked like the fatigue was getting to her.
『You made it come to this aaaahh, die-!』
It stretched out its long, slimy legs towards Elga. Well, it was more like a tentacle rather than a leg, then a sharp spear rather than a tentacle.
Chiiiik.
“Eut!”
As it passed through Elga’s side, it quickly corroded her clothes, which made her take them off. She ripped off her blouse, and threw it on the floor.
With that, Elga’s sweaty body and underwear were exposed. Now that I had a clearer look, she had a lot of small scars painting her body.
She was currently dodging the incoming attacks, but if she got hit by Gamigin, even a single strike would be quite fatal.
Pusyuk, Pusyuk, Pusyuk.
The monster’s amorphous body shot out thorn-like tentacles in all directions like a hedgehog.
『You bitches, don’t you think about dying nicely, aaaah-! I’ll turn you into breeding cauldrons, raaaaah-!!!!』
Pusyuk, Pusyuk.
“Theo, let’s back off for now!”
Elga grabbed my waist and we hid behind a thick pillar. Fortunately, the strong pillars of the castle ruins were enough to avoid the monster’s tentacle attacks.
“Is there no better way?”
Elga asked me.
Continuously hacking it down till it dropped dead was the only thing that came to mind. Because that was how the Villain Hunter did it in the novel.
“That method is too reckless. It’s hard on my own right now. How many times can you use your magic?”
Hearing Elga’s question, I checked my gas tank.
“I could probably do it two more times.”
“That is not enough.”
Tsk— Elga clicked her tongue.
Taking a deep breath, Mirna, who had been silent after her father evaporated into sand, said.
“Anti-magic. We have to use an anti-magic spell.”
“An anti-magic spell?”
Mirna added after hearing Elga’s confusion.
“As I mentioned earlier, Gamigin is the living magic spell of Demon King Solomon. If you cast an anti-magic spell, it will disappear.”
Using anti-magic, huh…
Now that I thought about it, it made sense.
So, I stuck my heart-tailed wand out of the pillar we were taking cover from and began to cast one spell I knew.
—Belial!
Pajit.
Magic shot out like a white spark, rushing towards the howling monster. Getting hit, the monster trembled loudly.
『Antiiiiii-magic? Balan did the same thing-. However, do you really think this sloppy, half-assed trick will work…!? I am the disaster of Angmar…!』
Was it also useless?
Was it due to my low level?
Bulttuk, bulttuk.
Just then, the monster’s body began to tremble violently.
Not only that, its body began to melt akin to that of a huge iceberg plunging into the sea due to global warming.
『Wha, what-! What is this, what!? WHAT-! My body, my body’s melting-! How come-aaahh…!?』
It seemed that my spell was working quite well.
Was it because I was of King Angmar’s blood?
What the, then, shouldn’t I have done this from the beginning…
“Hey, Theo! Keep doing that! I think it’s working!”
“I want to as well, but my mana is almost exhausted!”
“Exhausted mana? Then, do it with willpower!”
What, willpower?
Yes, had I ever lacked willpower?
Not knowing what would happen, my forehead wrinkled as I squeezed out the magic energy from my entire body.
─Belial-!
Pajijijijijijik.
Lightning flew off the tip of my wand.
It was stronger, thicker and much faster than the one I shot before. Finally, that strange magical current struck the melting pile of seafood.
『Eugiiiiiiik!』
Chodok, chodok
With that, all the flesh that formed the giant monster’s body melted and disappeared.
“Huu….”
“Hey, Theo. Good job-. Breathtaking-. Finish-.”
Elga was saying something next to me, but I had a hard time breathing and my vision felt like they were spinning in a circle. I couldn’t muster any strength.
This was the real Mana Exhaustion.
It felt like the moment I let my consciousness go, I would black out.
But I persisted and went towards Professor Balan instead.
She was flailing on the ground like a fish out of the water. Her clothes were naturally destroyed and now, her pale back was exposed; revealing a circular seal.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was a magic circle.
“Kill, kill me…. My body doesn’t listen to me anymore…. Anti-magic… I researched it… All my life. Still. I couldn’t escape….”
Professor Balan’s red eyes shed bloody tears.
Had she regained her senses for a moment?
“Hurry… While, I can still hold it off….”
… This looked a little pathetic.
How did Professor Balan end up living with such a curse on her back?
Mirna asked at this time.
“Theo Gospel, do you think you can do it?”
In response to her question, I looked at the blood-colored pattern engraved on Professor Balan’s back. It was a very barbaric scene, as if someone had forcibly carved it on with a knife.
‘Gamigin.’
The letters written there said so.
Coincidentally, it was the same as the one in the zombie’s tongue when I was playing chess with Narmi. I slowly put my hand on Professor Balan’s back.
“Geueueuk-!”
Then Professor Balan suddenly screamed and grabbed my feet. It was an obviously malicious move, completely unlike the Professor Balan who had been struggling up until now.
“You, you’re trying to get rid of me? That can’t be-. That’s impossible!”
She grabbed my knee and climbed up to grab my collar.
For a moment, Balan’s eyes widened.
“There’s no way, no, something is wrong with this. Why, why are you with those women-!? You, you bastard, this worthless, Half-Fairy, Theo Gospel, liar-!”
Soon, information poured into my eyes.
「Gamigin : High Rank Magic Spell. Turn the living into puppets. The higher the caster’s rank, the greater the effect.」
「You have defeated a mighty enemy. Miraculous magic!
Job: Mage +2 Level
Mage lv. 5 → Lv. 7
You’re now a true tuner of mystery!」
Seureurek.
Professor Balan finally collapsed, seemingly losing all her strength.
Thanks to her, my level went up twice, making me feel very good!
Then, the fatigue I was feeling went away, as if everything was just a lie. On the contrary, it got replaced with a sensation of omnipotence. As magical energy flowed in my body, I couldn’t help but feel a piercing pleasure that went down till the tip of my fingertips.
Even more surprising was the magic I had just learned.
Gamigin was a magic for controlling people?
It didn’t seem like simple necromancy.
It was the magic that I had so desperately wanted…
Maybe with this, I would be able to control Aira as I pleased?
Sch.
At this moment, Elga placed her hand on Professor Balaan’s neck, who was lying on the ground.
“She didn’t die… What a lucky woman. So, that’s that.”
Elga got up and said to Mirna Draco.
“Tell me about what you know. All of it. Is there any of Angmar’s blood that remains?”
Amidst the darkness, Elga’s blue eyes gleamed fiercely.
It seemed that hearing about Angmar’s bloodline was more urgent for Elga than the surprising circumstances that had just happened.
“If I see any signs that you are trying to hide even one fact, you will face death, Mirna Draco.”
‘Right…’
The problem wasn’t over yet.
However, I also wanted the information about the Angmar Family that Mirna Draco might have, so I decided to listen.
Finally, Mirna slowly opened her mouth.
“That….”
