Episode 45
EPISODE.23
Nightmare Tail. and-.
‘Poison Born Nail.’
In the sand and dust, Russell twitched the bridge of his nose as he remembered the magic that had been thrown at him.
Both were offensive black magic belonging to the 4th circle.
It was also a magic that Xavier, the cult member he was fighting with, used repeatedly against him.
However, the quality was different.
‘Not only is the weight of magical power, but the power is also far above.’
If the magic that Xavier had been using up until now seemed like a decent-looking circle magic, then it could definitely be said to be magic with the power of a 4-circle level.
Despite being members of the same cult, there is such a difference in magic power…
‘I guess that’s it.’
The two male and female cult members who appeared this time are, unlike the previous ones, specialized in combat.
Russell waved his hand, quickly settling the situation.
It’s a disaster.
The wind brought in the sand and dust, and the gaze moved.
‘About 1m?’
The impact was alleviated and the depth of the ground was confirmed.
Even higher than that, I stared at the man and woman standing in the passage along the wall of the ruins cavity.
Although their appearances and clothing were different, there was one thing in common between them and Xavier, and that was -.
‘Dark magic.’
It was a sign of a strange yet dark magical power.
Russell frowned at the feeling that the mud had been scooped up from a grave and scattered all over the place.
at that time.
Among the men and women who appeared, Beth, the daughter, glanced at Russell with sharp eyes and spat out.
“It’s a shame. If he had been killed in that attack just now, he might have died comfortably. Now that it has been revealed that he is Daria’s disciple, he cannot die in peace anymore.”
The man, Lavigne, received those words.
“flaw. I never thought I would be surrounded by three warlocks when I received the mission. I’m sure even you didn’t expect this. It may be embarrassing, but understand. Kid. “Because that’s the way things are in the world.”
Despite having a numerical superiority, it appears that they are not letting down their guard and are surrounded by magical power.
Well, it probably means that they are just as expert in this matter as this one.
“Embarrassment?”
With that understanding, Russell answered back what the guy said.
“Does my face look embarrassed right now?”
I smiled and started the circle again.
With just one breath, I put my entire body into a fighting stance.
Ravin is startled by the change and tilts his head.
“You weren’t embarrassed?”
After being ambushed and surrounded 3 to 1?
Russell calmly nodded to that question.
A few days ago, I recalled a conversation I had with an informant at Shudra.
.
.
‘The biggest reason why the difficulty of the mission was increased is actually the second reason.’
‘A few days ago, about half a day after Mr. Russell crossed the border. ‘Two wizards, an unknown man and woman, have crossed the border.’
‘If you trace the direction they are heading in a straight line… … .’
‘That’s actually the reason why the difficulty level has increased. Not only do we have to fight against the cultists at a numerical disadvantage, but the location is not far from the empire.’
‘Ah, the imperial dogs? Well said, it’s a good dog. It’s not that great. Most of them just specialize in reconnaissance. The combat power itself is that of an ordinary soldier or knight.’
.
.
In other words, Russell came here with this situation in mind as well.
More accurately, I came because I judged that my chances of winning were good.
Of course, there was no need to explain all this to them.
Instead of explaining, the circle rotated at high speed.
Uuuuuung-.
With the firing sound of a swarm of bees, the magical energy pushes away the sand dust.
‘Shall I?’
Russell shook his head for a moment, waiting for another card he had to come to mind.
‘No, there’s no need to do it.’
Not only did I have physical strength, but I still had enough magical power.
Even though it was 3 to 1, I wasn’t nervous at all.
Confidence that he could easily deal with a few magicians of the same level.
Russell had that confidence and skill.
‘-He was the only one who saw the same 4th Circle wizard and thought it would be difficult.’
Alan Page.
Whoa!
The magic power surges and the hair rises backwards.
The cloak, which was torn and tattered in several places, tore as it could not overcome the vortex that arose.
Ji-Ik-.

Beth and Lavigne, who recognized that as an attitude of not giving an answer, growled as if they were annoyed.
“joy. “If you won’t tell me what you’re thinking, then I have no choice but to let you die and spit it out.”
“We are also experts in that area.”
It’s not a threat, it’s a threat that I won’t spend my life comfortably even after I die.
“Hey, Xavier!”
Lavigne then shouted at Xavier.
“No matter how tired you are, you still have the strength to support yourself with one hand, right?”
“of course!”
Xavier responded with all his anger.
They gathered the remaining undead and surrounded Russell.
Ugh.
Clutter, clatter-.
Cultist.
No, it was the moment when Russell’s second match against the enemy who had now become ‘cultists’ began.
* * *
Beth and Lavigne.
The reason why Russell engaged in a tedious war of attrition with Xavier before the two cultists arrived was simple.
‘Because it was a mission whose goal was capture.’
Since the goal was to bring him back alive if possible, he couldn’t take any bold action.
But now the situation has changed.
The one cult member had increased to three, and only one of them had to be captured alive.
Russell’s hands became bolder and poured out magic without stopping.
Even if it was the same magic, the characteristic of the magic was that its power varied greatly depending on the skill of the caster.
So what is the magic that Russell unleashed?
“Huh, what!”
“Is this really 4th circle magic?”
The two cult members opened their eyes and shouted at Russell’s constant, uninterrupted attacks.
“What unbelievable power… … !”
Not only is his single strike outside the 4th circle standard, but he shoots out as much magic as I do, so why is he still not running out of magic power?
“It’s not like I have infinite magic power!”
Maximum power with minimal horsepower.
For wizards, it was like a textbook.
However, in reality, achieving it perfectly was not as easy as it sounds.
Even if it were actually carried out, it couldn’t be as effective as it is now.
Only Russell.
In terms of the purity of magical power, this phenomenon is possible because he is of a higher rank than Daria.
Thanks to this, it could be said that Russell’s magical power was several times greater than that of wizards of the same class.
Blaze Lance.
Quaaaa-!
The scorching flame instantly dispels the darkness in the hall.
Projectile acceleration, bullet speed assist, Gale’s Grasp, Arrow Chopper’s Piercing, etc.
Several auxiliary magics were added to the Blaze Lance.
‘Tsk-.’
A consumption of magical power that would make even the world’s Russell lose his breath for a moment.
Wow!
With an explosion, the blaze lance burst into flames.
The flame spear in Russell’s hand flew through space in an instant.
Quagwagwagwang!
The undead in orbit explode in an instant, sending bone fragments flying in all directions.
The time it took for all that to happen was literally a split second!
After a series of seconds that felt like they were split into several parts, boom!
A blaze lance pierced the body of one of the warlocks.
“Kyaaa——!!”
Due to the screams, it was not even able to form properly and fell apart.
Immediately after, black smoke burned from the mouth of Beth, a woman who had been hit directly by the attack.
‘one.’
It was not enough for the spear of flame to pierce the body, but even the internal organs were cooked.
“Beth!”
Ravin, startled by the attack, shouted.
He moved to help Beth, who was falling.
“two.”
Russell was faster.
Russell’s fist, running in a straight line, hits the guy’s temple.
Wow!
Because his mind was shaken, he was not even able to use a shield and allowed the attack.
bang!
Lavigne’s body, which was thrown out, landed on the wall.
Then, part of the remnants of the wall that shattered from the impact collapsed and fell on Ravin’s body.
Patter-patter-.
Stone dust falls, and Ravin’s limbs beneath it tremble and convulse.
He is not dead, but appears to be unconscious.
Moreover, the situation of Beth, who was pierced by the Blaze Lance, was not much different from him.
The pain of all the organs being cooked caused the brain to turn white and foam at the mouth.
“Off-off… … .”
As if to prove that he was not dead, he continued to let out short moans from his mouth spewing out black smoke, but it was absolutely impossible for him to return to battle.
‘Now there’s only one thing left.’
Russell, who had taken care of two cultists in an instant, slowly caught his breath and turned his head.
I turned my gaze to check the location of the one remaining cult member, Xavier.
It was then.
“-Dedicated. I dedicate it. “I offer it.”
Someone’s muttering and triple chanting were heard.
“Life, life, soul, even my death.”
A spell heard from the midst of the few remaining undead.
With the spell, the remains of bones scattered around began to rattle and move.
There were hundreds of remains of bones, all of which were fragments of undead that had been shattered by Russell’s hands.
“I offer it all to you.”
Uuuuuung-.
As he muttered, his shadow spread in all directions like paint on drawing paper.
Whoa!
The bone pieces hanging at the end rattled and vibrated unpleasantly.
In an instant, his shadow reached the man and woman, Beth and Ravin.
“Wow!”
“Ooooooooo!”
Then, with a strange sound, Beth and Lavigne, who were dying, begin to struggle.
“I offer it. I dedicate it. “I offer it.”
No, it wasn’t struggling.
“The life of someone who is not me, the life of someone who is not me, even the death of someone who is not me.”
The whole body was twisted into a bizarre shape, as if it had been bound and squeezed by something.
“I offer it all to you.”
Quad, Quad!
Their bones, muscles, and muscle fibers are crushed and distorted.
Puhwaak!
The blood that spilled in the process moistened the sand.
Russell’s senses screamed.
The magic of cultists that I have always seen recorded in old books.
‘Self-sacrifice spell!’
Forced Sacrifice, to be exact.
A vicious trick that forced him to sacrifice not only his own life but also the lives of others unfolded in his hands.
The guy who realized that he couldn’t win against Russell used all his last strength and performed a self-sacrifice spell with the intention of dying together.
It was a magic that had several conditions to activate.
The question arose as to how he cleared it, but there was no time to worry about it now.
It must be stopped.
With that thought in mind, I urgently stretched out my hand.
The magic was created in a hurry.
Next moment.
“Hehe. It’s already late.”
Xavier, who made eye contact with Russell, smirked, raised the corners of his mouth and mocked him.
“Descent.”
