Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 579

[579Tue] The Road to Lich is paved with RAGE

Fortunately, the second reliquary was not buried in the ground, but rather nicely hidden among a thousand miscellaneous items..

The old armor buried among the worn-out weapons, which reminds me of the saying, "If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest," was at a level that I would never have thought of as a 'relic box' if it weren't for the magical city. Apart from that, there are layers of magic to prevent it from being easily destroyed... but for some reason, it is very flimsy compared to the relic box that was destroyed the first time..

Was the first reliquary box more sturdy because it came with a case and ring set? I thought so, but if that were the case, Matryoshka would be the strongest reliquary box, so there would be no reason to make unrelated magic tools into a relic box..

"...It won't be too late to find out later."

Whatever it was, it seemed like it would be easy to take care of it and relatively easy to destroy, so it was probably a good thing for now. As I crawled out of the collapsing building again, Richie, who had failed to collapse the building I was in due to Emmet's interference, greeted me with a strange scream and a Munch-like stance..

The reaction is completely different from when they first discovered us. He was truly afraid of the situation he was in..

They do not respond complacently, considering the fact that it took a considerable amount of time to destroy their reliquaries, or the idea that they can stop us before their reliquaries are all destroyed. It was clear that he was focused on the fact that I could clearly take a picture of his reliquary and that it had been destroyed before my eyes..

Emmet said that wizards are something that can never be ignored once the possibility has been confirmed... Even if it is a case of selling one's soul to the devil and becoming a lich, it seems that the wizard's thinking is not going anywhere..

But it was a situation where I couldn't just smile while looking at that..

"what are those again?"

This is because large undead that I had not seen before coming here suddenly appeared..

No matter how despairing he was, the lich didn't let go, so Emmet still seems busy blocking the guy's magic, and the volunteer taxpayer is diligently chopping down the undead that approach Emmet with a sword he didn't know where he got it from. . While it was surprising enough that he didn't run away, I didn't expect him to be so active in the fight, so my evaluation of him was revised a little..

The most notable among them was Carl Kansi. I was almost alone in fending off three undead the size of a building that appeared from nowhere..

"customer! I think we should postpone destroying them for a while and do something about them first.!"

Carl Kansi's cry seemed similar to usual, but it clearly exuded desperation. Of course, anyone would do that if they had to deal with a mass of corpses or skeletons the size of a two-story building, but when Karl Kanshi, who gave the feeling that he was filming a martial arts magazine by himself, said that, the seriousness of it was extraordinary..

Even now, the movements of Karl Kansi, who is constantly avoiding the swinging arms of the huge monster and persistently popping the monster's legs, are truly admirable..

However, despite showing agile movements such as moving exquisitely between the lumps and making them collide with each other, Carl Cansi is not relaxed at all. He generously poured out the techniques that destroyed the inside of the body that he showed in Rai Tor, and even when he turned the legs of the undead mass into rags, they quickly recovered..

I didn't feel the energy of an evil spirit, and it wasn't a troll's corpse mixed in. I looked closely at the undead mass to see if that was the case, but it was hard to find anything else strange..

Still, it doesn't mean we couldn't find out anything. I couldn't figure out what the basis for regeneration was, but I knew for sure that they had a power source that could be called a core, and that for some reason it had nothing to do with the lich..

It was clearly magic power that moved them, but the thread of that magic power was not directed to the lich, but to the abandoned temple where the lich was presumed to have been..

[[Damn, what are you doing, senithigua?!!]]

It's harder not to know when they show it so openly. If the guy's reaction of being as perplexed as Karl Kansi while looking at the huge undead mass isn't acting, it might be another co-worker stabbing him in the back..

"Whatever it is, it's shit.."

Anyway, what I had to do was decided, so I roughly stuffed the Lich's relic gloves I had picked up from the ruins into my breastplate and rushed towards the mass of undead that Kal Kansi was dealing with..

After watching Kal Kansi fight against him, he realized that they were different from ordinary corpses and skeletons, so he strengthened his body as much as possible using magic power and started running, quickly narrowing the distance..

To be honest, I had recently become accustomed to moving in combination with blessings through divine power, so I expected that no matter how much I moved, there would be a big difference, but surprisingly, that wasn't the case. Rather, I felt a new sense of heightened sensitivity and faster movement in a different way than when I strengthened my body with blessings..

At first, I thought I was mistaken because I had been practicing magic recently and had not moved much, but when a body of corpses noticed my approach and let out a loud scream, I easily dodged the swinging arm and climbed on top of it, running up to its shoulder, it became clear to me..

"For now, just one."

For the first time in a while, I split the esthetics and raised the sword body, then aimed the sword between the trapezius muscle and the collarbone and stabbed it in. There was a question as to whether a monster made of clumped corpses would have trapezius muscles and clavicle, but since the location of the core was originally where the heart should be, I decided to ignore it, thinking it was probably there..

[hmm? master! This magic power is strange!]

As soon as the core of the corpse mass was destroyed, I kicked the collapsed body and jumped down, and Este, who was absorbing the magic power in the core as if I had stuck a straw, spoke to me as if I was puzzled..

"Magical power can be strange?"

[Uh... it's a bit difficult to express, but I guess I should say it feels like something from another world.?]

"other world?"

My head, which was about to tilt to the side for a moment in doubt, suddenly stopped. Because I felt like I was getting answers faster than I could ask questions..

A lich who made a deal with the devil. The energy of another world. The unidentified name that the lich called out. A huge mass of undead that appears to have no connection to the lich. The hints were very clear, so I put Este's sword body back together and shot a needle at the head of Richie, who was engaged in a dispel battle with Emmett..

Kwagak! The guy's skull cracked with a loud sound, but I knew it was a meaningless blow. Anyway, my goal was not to harm him, but to distract him, so it doesn't matter..

I smiled once more as I looked at the lich who turned his head towards me amidst the magic that suddenly scattered and exploded due to losing focus..

"You were with the devil.?"

Is it because I was already scared once?.

His reaction was very easy to recognize..

◈

Senithigua did not leave his seat even after Richie rushed out to deal with the intruders, rolling his pitch-black eyes back and forth..

For a long time, she was creating monsters according to her taste, using magic power and corpses as she pleased. She stopped humming and muttered to herself..

"After all, this is more fun than the Manma Battle.."

It's not bad for demons to fight and fight each other like crazy to determine their rank, but it's also necessary to have peace of mind and body while enjoying a vacation like this. Nevertheless, the reason why demons could not easily enter this world was not because they did not want to, but because there was no other way other than summoning them..

The net that the gods spread to protect this world was not easy..

If it hadn't been for a trick in the form of 'summoning the devil', which is a huge trap and passage created by the devils of the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons with great effort, taking advantage of the efforts of mortals who first noticed the existence of the other world, the devils would have been sucking their fingers until this very moment. They would have had to intensify the battle for rank among themselves..

In that sense, the new technique that the avid Crumelia established this time was truly groundbreaking..

A devilish idea that literally deceives the principles of the world, such as deceiving the soul to form the body in this world..

Not only did she have the disadvantage of having to contract directly with the founder, Crumelia, and face the risk of death until she completely collected her soul, but in fact, all the demons that had crossed into this world were completely extinguished, and even Crumelia suffered enormous damage and was targeting her. Although it got to the point where he was chased by other demons... Senithigua respected and respected Crumelia enough..

Because that's what being a pioneer is all about. Isn't that why she's come over like this and is unleashing her magic as she pleases? You can give as much cheap respect and respect as you want..

"With this... What, why nine??"

Senihigua, who was sitting on the floor and shaking his upper body from side to side, enjoying the pleasant situation, stopped moving after completing the creation of all of the undead he had targeted. To be precise, he thought he had 'made it all', but he stopped because one was empty..

"I was so focused on making it that I counted the wrong numbers.?"

Anyway, I don't think I was able to concentrate enough to count the numbers. Senihi Gua, who was scratching the back of his head in the shocking situation he suddenly encountered, soon returned his pitch-black eyes to their original state and shook his head..

There wasn't much difference between nine and ten anyway, so I decided to just skip it. Anyway, the goal was to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship by sending half of the people to other places to collect souls while helping the lich with the other half. Since he was with him, just four toys were enough to help Richie..

"Let's see, let's get serious now...?"

It was at that time that something strange was caught on Senihigua's surveillance network, which had started tracking magical power in order to organize the magic that had been spread and to deliver commands to each of the toys..

"...what is this?"

Something unknown was approaching the abandoned temple where it was located at breakneck speed..
