Never touch Eldmia Egga-Episode 584

[584Tue] Devil, Cry.

Honestly, when the human race that destroyed his reliquary headed to the abandoned temple where Senithigua was, Lich was truly relieved..

Senithigua is questionable, not weak. From the perspective of the lich who experienced the vast magic, the human's choice was no different from suicide..

"Like a foolish mortal, I crawled towards my own death.."

That's why he didn't chase after the wizard who was blocking him. If he had run to retrieve the remaining phylactery, he wouldn't have had time to engage in a lackluster power struggle with this wizard..

The lich felt deeply relieved that the threat to the Reliquary had disappeared on its own, and for the first time in a while, he laughed heartily..

"Now you guys will soon follow suit. Kekekekeke...keke!"

In the meantime, he could have laughed longer if Emmett had not caught the loophole that had appeared in the lich, but the old wizard did not allow for even an inch of error and destroyed the lich's magic and regurgitated it, inflicting damage..

"Don't laugh. They say you can't spit on a smiling face, but you don't look that good.."

"As long as you keep your mouth open...!"

"What are you going to do when you become a lich and you can only do that??"

In fact, Emmet's condition as he says is not very good. I was used to breaking the lich's magic and spells, but there was no way to do anything about my mental power, concentration, and physical strength being diminished in real time..

"And I don't know who crawled towards death. Was it even a dream??"

Nevertheless, unlike the first time, the reason for mixing in provocation is simple. Now, it is not a problem that can be solved simply by Emmet holding on, but it has reached a point where Richie has to lose his composure to maintain the confrontation..

It may be considered nothing more than a cheap provocation, but it is not a desperate attempt to make a desperate move..

The pride of the lich, who had never been able to complete a proper spell due to his efforts, was so cracked that it was almost crumbling, so as long as he properly understood the wizard's intention to become a lich and explore magic even by making a deal with the devil, he attempted to do so. It was a number.

"under! No wonder he's your companion who ran to where the devil is! Could it be that they think that a mere human being who has not even reached transcendence can deal with the devil? And the devil who brought all my abilities to me?"

Sure enough, as Emmett expected, Richie couldn't hide his anger and raised his voice even more..

"I'll tell you it's amazing that you identified the weaknesses of the creatures created by the devil and slaughtered them! But that's it! Now that you've offended the devil, all that's left for you is a painful death and regret.!"

Cough, clap, clap. It was Richie who rattled his chin and smiled really unpleasantly, showing an opening, but this time Emmett's counterattack did not follow..

It was easier to kill time by leaving a third-rate player who was originally not able to use his hands properly, but then gained the upper hand and started to become arrogant..

Emmett understood that silence was more valuable than gold at this point, so instead of getting on Richie's nerves further, he paused for a moment and sent a short hand signal to Cal Kansi, who made eye contact with him..

It was a hand signal commonly used by adventurers, so even though nothing had been said in advance, Kal Kansi could understand it right away..

Run when the signal is given..

Because it was done so quickly and secretly, Richie did not notice this and took Emmet's silence as just the frustration of someone who belatedly understood the situation, and Richie's mood began to escalate even more..

"Yes, get frustrated! Despair! You guys will slowly wither away here! And it will be the cornerstone for my transcendence.!"

As he was pushed into an unexpected corner, his magic was blocked by mortals and he was denied more than half of the time until now. In Richie's mind, who belatedly thought he had the upper hand, the option of ending it quickly and cautiously did not exist anymore..

They cause as much pain as possible, torment them, and then kill them. And hand over your soul to the devil.

While Lich's shoulders were heaving with twisted pleasure as he recalled the screams of souls in pain from his memory, Emmet's thoughts, which were still calmly destroying Lich's magic, were spinning rapidly..

"After all, you have no eyes, so you can’t see anything.."

Although he had never heard a detailed explanation about Eldmia's abilities, Emmet had already come to a conclusion about his ability to cut out magical energy after much thought. And if what he has guessed by watching from the side until now is correct, Eldmia, contrary to the lich's confident cries, is actually like the devil's natural enemy..

'Eldmia's ability to 'cut off magic', no matter how low its level, could not stop even the Wind King Iranoreff, who was clearly a dragon race. One of the reasons may have been that he did not expect that his magic would be interrupted by mere mortals, just as he was arrogant and noble and did not even look at healing magic, but even if that were the case, the dispel cast by mortals could easily cut off the dragon's magic. It's something that can't happen..

That ability is to do something difficult so easily. The principle may not be understood, but in the face of Eldmia's power, magical power is like a thin piece of paper that can be torn apart with a light application of force..

"If it were a devil with a head, he would run away as soon as he saw my employer. By the time you noticed, it would already be too late."

The reason demons are feared by many people is that their entire bodies are made up of magical energy, so there are no particular restrictions on using their own magic. The only limitation that can be said is that in order to fully exert its power, it must manifest itself based on a large number of sacrifices. Even that is not a prerequisite that necessarily applies, as the devils have their own expedient methods..

However, Eldmia can arbitrarily tear apart the magical power that makes up the demons' bodies..

As high-ranking demons, who should naturally be objects of fear, come across with their full power, Eldmia's abilities actually act as a poison to them..

As soon as she guessed that there was a devil, she took action... It was clear that Eldmia also knew that fact through some kind of experience..

"what is that......?"

The moment the lich stopped after hearing an incomprehensible sound while laughing excitedly, the demonic energy and magic that had clearly been felt from afar disappeared in an instant..

It was such an exquisite moment that it could not be considered a coincidence, so Richie's head quickly turned back even though there was an enemy in front of him. It was such a surprising and shocking thing to him, and it was a golden opportunity for Emmett, who believed that Eldmia would do anything..

No matter how much of a lich he was, he couldn't prepare for magic while his attention was diverted..

"run!"

After stopping to block the Lich's magic, which had become stagnant due to distraction, Emmet prepared a large-scale freezing spell. He had to sacrifice one of the magic tools he had in his possession to shorten the chant, but it was a cheap price considering his life..

"Something like this...!"

Lich's specialty is the flame type..

Although he was arrogant when it came to the subject of the undead, his magic system that had been around for a long time was quite solid, so it was no different from dealing with undead with fire resistance..

Likewise, Emmet's specialty was fire-type magic, but because of that, it was difficult to inflict significant damage. The decision Emmett made, humbly acknowledging his limitations, was to tie Richie's feet, even if only for a moment..

"As expected, you are disqualified from being a wizard.."

The ice spear he threw in mockery at the lich, who so easily showed his weakness, froze the lich's entire body as soon as it touched the pure white skull..

It was a freezing spell so perfect that it even lowered the temperature of the entire area in an instant, but Emmet, who knew that the Lich's consciousness was intact even in the ice, lifted himself up without the slightest hesitation and flew toward the abandoned temple..

I didn't intentionally slow down or keep pace with Cal Kansi. It was a kind of warning to him not to survive alone, but to run away with all his might. Fortunately, even though there was no explanation, Karl Kansi understood the situation like a ghost and began to sprint on all fours. The Demon King's army, which understood the situation a little later, even threw away the sword that he did not know where it came from and poured out all the strength he had gained. ran.

And Richie, who was looking at the scene in the frozen ice, mentally ground his teeth..

[[How dare you!!!]]

Emmett's magic was clearly close to perfection..

However, as soon as black flames swirled around the Lich, whose red light began to flicker in his black eye sockets again, it melted in an instant. Beyond simply melting, the moisture evaporated without any time for the humidity to rise, creating a sound like water drops falling on a heated iron plate..

Thanks to this, Karl Kansi, who habitually turned his head to look at Richie, felt his heart sink for the first time in a long time when he saw that cold reaction..

"Teacher Emmett! He completely rolled his eyes.!"

So I reported this to Emmet, who was concentrating on flying without even turning his head, but the response I got back was not very pleasant..

"If you know, you can run faster! I have to join Eldmia.!"

It was a synonym for saying that we have no answer. In the end, Kalkansi had no choice but to momentarily put aside the respect he had shown before and ask back in despair..

"Are you treating me like a half-pun like that, making me angry to the point of my head, and then running away??!"

"Isn’t it obvious! Even if he sells his soul to the devil for half a penny, a lich is still a lich! You have to destroy the reliquary or you won't die.!"

Yes, it was definitely true.

It was an answer that felt rather unfamiliar, perhaps because I was so used to Eldmia and Emmet's activities. But there was no time to feel regretful about the unsatisfactory answer..

[[I'll burn it all and kill you.!!]]

The Lich, who had completely escaped Emmet's interference, was chasing after him, pouring out all the magic he had been unable to cast until now..
