Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 475

[475[Tuesday] Apostate may care, but I don't

When it comes to illusion magic, most people think that it is simply a matter of tricking people's five senses with magic, but what they are pursuing is not such a simple trick..

Their ultimate goal is not just to deceive the brain, but also to deceive the surrounding environment and the laws of nature. As the precedent of the Imperial Academy's sparring hall shows, this was not just empty talk, but a truly feasible area..

Of course, this requires a huge amount of preliminary work and preparation, like building a huge building... but it is actually too easy to destroy something like that..

Like buildings built by actual mortals. This is why illusion magic has many metaphors related to architecture..

Therefore, the second name of Khalesi, who is evaluated as opening a new horizon for the school, is ‘the tower builder.’ Perhaps in the distant future, if this research becomes fully established and spreads, he will be remembered not as the person who built the tower, but as the owner of the tower or the person who completed it..

Some people thought even that was a pipe dream, but Khalesi was confident that he could achieve such a future. Even the warrior who received God's protection could not resist his magic. Her solid performance was sufficient basis for her confidence..

Of course, it goes without saying that there was much more preparation for this than was revealed on the surface..

After gathering information from previous generations of warriors, creating hypotheses, preparing for variables, and not forgetting even the legendary stories of beings from other dimensions, the decisive factor that we were able to capture was the hero's 'memory'..

Even with the power of an evil spirit, it was not at all easy to secretly send a familiar while a warrior was sleeping, remotely intervene in his mind, and examine the fragments of the past remaining in his memory. If I could have killed or cursed a warrior in one blow with a secretly infiltrated familiar, I would have done so right away..

But even if I wanted to, I couldn't..

Even the monumental familiars, which were completed at an astronomical cost, could only activate a simple sleep-based illusion magic after meeting all the conditions for infiltration. Even that is only an illusion magic that operates like a precision machine and can be activated with only a small amount of magical power, based on a foundation that is more dense than a spider's web..

Anything else that was included would not be able to withstand the magic and divine power and would disappear, so it was Khalesi who somehow got a hint from the operation that would have been discarded, delved into it, and brought it to where it is now..

Although he was the cornerstone of a dead evil spirit and a stolen divinity, Khaleesi was firmly proud of the results he had produced, carried out his plan, and firmly believed that it would soon succeed..

Until a two-handed ax flies towards you.

"Wow?!"

If it weren't for the protective magic wrapped around his body, he would have been pierced by the ax and flown far away, so everyone reacted one tempo late to the surprise attack. Her demon lords were frightened by the magic contained in her axe, and she and other illusion wizards were astonished at the fact that her axe had reached Khaleesi's face..

From the moment they appeared on the battlefield, they had already activated their 'sanctuary'. The enemies in the area, including the warrior, were in the area of ​​influence, and since they were in this area, even if they attacked them, they had to aim for a completely different place..

Not only was it the part that the illusion wizards prioritized and put the most effort into, but it was actually a magic that had been verified by going around the battlefield several times. Otherwise, how could people who had no connection to war in their lives survive on the battlefield??

At least you have to be at the level of a warrior to be able to properly hit and attempt something absurd. Other than that, you have to be a priest or a high-ranking wizard to overcome the illusion and inflict damage, and he even proved through direct experiment that even if the Sword Master comes, it is difficult to destroy it unilaterally..

This is also the case when attempting close combat, and the projectile cannot properly penetrate the illusion that distorts space, so it is not possible to even approach. Nevertheless, the ax thrown by Eldmia flew in with great precision, as if it were only natural, to split Khalesi's torso..

That alone was surprising, but Khaleesi, who realized that the protection magic that had been double and triple strengthened through the residue from the previous blow had been completely blown away, glared at Eldmia, feeling cold sweat running down her spine..

In fact, Eldmia had no interest in the confrontation, just glaring..

"Shut your eyes, apostate.."

50Everyone who saw the sight of the ax that had shown such terrible power returning to its owner's hand while trying to figure out the meaning of the one word uttered before approaching suddenly narrowed the distance, which was supposed to be about 5 meters, to less than 5 meters. Everyone took action as if they had made a promise..

Some of the Demon King's army realized that the situation was different from yesterday, when they could unilaterally entrust the warrior party and its escorts to the illusion wizard and engage in battle, and moved with courage to block the wizards' advance, and the human army was able to defeat even one such Demon King army. In order to kill more, they split to the left and right with Eldmia in between and pushed forward like a wave..

If it had been the way it was, it would have been a clash that would have resulted in a close fight without a single step back, but today even the result was different..

"Damn it! What are they doing! fight!"

"Do not be deceived by the words of the human race! If the devil has abandoned us, how will illusion wizards use their divine power?!"

With the appearance of humans who were clearly capable of using magical and divine power, everything went awry..

Although they sensed that if Eldmia's approach was allowed, the illusion wizards who had recently shown excellent results as a shield against warriors could be slaughtered, there were more people who could not move easily than those who boldly stepped forward to become meat shields. They hesitated in their search for God, not because of death but because of suspicion and fear of unexpected charges of apostasy..

Of course, Eldmia wasn't even interested in that..

Even as the surroundings turned into chaos again, Eldmia steadfastly narrowed the distance and cut down two more demon lords who quickly approached to block her path. Without hesitation, she threw her ax at the one wizard who had a particularly strong magical response. I held the toothless sword with both hands..

"uh..."

The whole scene seemed so unreal that the action stopped temporarily, but Khalesi's head began to spin more violently than ever..

Not even a warrior could pose a personal threat so unilaterally and so quickly. Even the Sword Masters from her empire were unable to properly attack within her and her minions' sanctuary..

Khaleesi, who quickly came to a conclusion about the reality of breaking through and what it meant to be the target of someone calling himself an apostate, extended his magic power towards the two subordinates who caught his eye..

"clear."

The two people who were showing signs of erosion were still fine, but they were the ones to be discarded in this battlefield anyway..

Thanks to this, Khalesi was able to cast magic without any hesitation, and the restrictions placed on the magic tools worn by the two wizards who were her targets went out of control, and the remnants of the evil spirit began to run wild..

◈

Even if it was fake, there was a lot to find out, so I had no intention of killing him..

However, the moment I was about to swing my sword with the intention of cutting off as much as I could because my arms and legs were not needed when speaking, the poop-colored haired person casted something at my subordinate, another wizard..

At first, I didn't even know it was magic because it was such a subtle movement of magic that I thought it was collecting magic power to cast magic. However, even if he was a flying and crawling genius, he couldn't cast fatal magic with just that much magic power, so he didn't care and tried to cut off the poop-colored haired's arms first..

The price of that extremely unfair judgment was high..

In just a short period of time after taking a single step, ax Mk.2 and Mk.3 were created at the same time..

"Eldmia!"

It was faster to avoid the fists swinging at me from both sides to crush me than to hear Siegfried's cry..

"Wow!!"

Without even having time to whistle, I moved the needle and swung the sword as a gift to the two monsters who were staring at me with bloodshot, red eyes. Fortunately, the monsters screamed and clenched their fists as the magical sword cut off the monsters' fingers with a completely different sensation than before..

It seems similar to an axeman, but it is different. Perhaps axemen are warriors, so they have the mindset to fight and endure pain, and maybe these guys are wizards, so they are not immune to pain..

It was a very positive discovery, but the situation quickly reached the worst point, so I suddenly ran out of time and urgently called Zeke to help me..

"Zeke! help!"

"When things get crazy, jokes like that come out.!?"

There are moments in people's lives when they can't survive without telling a joke due to extreme stress, but that's right now, dude..

Although these guys may not be immune to pain, they haven't been altered to include any physical abilities. The fist I just swung was extremely close. Unless these two were special entities, it was obvious that if that damn shit-colored head decided to sacrifice his subordinates, there would be very disastrous results..

If you look at Kkorak Seoni, who made a split-second decision and reacted calmly, you will see that your life is in danger, and at the same time, you will sacrifice the rest without hesitation..

"fuck."

In this situation, there were roughly two options given to me..

Until the moment when an ally who hasn't even approached me yet takes the aggro of the monsters, I not only block the magic cast by the poop-colored head by avoiding the attacks of those damn bastards, but also pay attention to the nonsense of the remaining illusion wizards, and at the same time, they often approach me. Don't forget to put a knife to the demon king's army..

You can leave it all to Zeke and run away..

"I'd rather die than get sick."

Sadly, the balance of options was so bad that it wasn't even worth worrying about..
