◈ Episode 510 Nirva (2)
Gregorium felt no signs of life.
Rudger approached slowly without lowering his guard.
Even though he came close, Gregorium just sat still.
Rudger was finally able to see Gregorium’s face.
“… … what.”
Gregorium’s face was pale, like that of a man long dead.
There is no moisture in the body, literally the appearance of a dry mummy.
It’s been less than a week since Gregorium came to Seorn.
But looking at the state of his body now, it seems that almost 30 years have passed.
It’s just that it’s not white bone, but it was a plate that would turn skin to leather into powder just by touching it.
‘Did you come in from the dead?’
That doesn’t even make sense.
If it was this serious, you would have noticed it at the entrance.
Warlocks, among them those who use necromancy and necromancy, would have reacted to the alarm magic installed at the entrance.
‘Then, Gregorium is said to have come inside alive and sane.’
Even the cause of death is unknown, and even the state of his body was a mystery itself.
“How about this?”
Rudger shook his head at Elisha’s question.
“Something is strange. Judging by the condition of the body, it is safe to say that he died a long time ago.”
“Besides, the situation that has happened now is not something that a dead person can unfold, no matter how you look at it.”
“To say that he took all of his own life to spread this… … .”
“Is Ji Hyo-seong too long?”
“yes. That’s right. Obviously, the first aftermath will be strong, but the effect will inevitably weaken as time goes on. But now the situation is getting stronger as time goes on.”
Elisa’s expression also became serious.
That said, Gregorium might not be the real culprit.
In the first place, it didn’t make sense to do something like this with his magic skills.
I thought someone was behind it, but I never thought the tail I finally found would be cut off without a trace.
“Does anyone have any doubts? The place where Mr. Rudger worked.”
Rudger shook his head.
“It’s not that I didn’t doubt it either, but it probably isn’t.”
“Why?”
“If you were going to do it, you would have done it sooner. Besides, this is not their way.”
Zero Order has a seeker in Ceorn.
Rudger guessed that Line was the person Zero Order was looking for.
Since she had a decision that was given only to saints, it was quite understandable that the devil, Zero Order, was looking for her.
But what about the reckless terror like now?
No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t something Zero Order would do.
“What’s strangest of all, I don’t feel any trace of magic in this area.”
“In the first place, what’s happening right now isn’t simply a situation caused by magic, right?”
“It is unreasonable to see it as a magical disaster. It is strange that a magical disaster suddenly occurs in Seorn, but it is also accompanied by magical power.”
If so, what is it?
Gregorium, the only clue, is dead.
And the dead did not speak.
“That’s natural. It’s not magic.”
It shouldn’t have been.
Rudger and Elisa.
The two of them reached for Gregorium’s corpse without saying who was first.
A magic formula implemented in an instant. and release.
A torrent of energy imbued with enormous mana hit Gregorium’s corpse.
The body was turned to powder and scattered in all directions.
However, the two couldn’t let go of the tension.
The scattered powders that became dust gathered in the air, and soon began to take on a single shape.
He was a sleazy old man in a neat suit.
The limbs were long, giving the appearance of cripples, and the mustache and beard grew long and white.
The cheeks were sunken, and at the same time the hooked nose was sharp and long.
The old man’s eyes were missing. Instead, a golden stream of air flowed out where the eyes were supposed to be.
“The things I use are on a different level than the lowly methods humans use. Much more mysterious, huge, and very beautiful. So, with that narrow and shallow knowledge, would you dare not discuss standards?”
The old man laughed and said.
Rudgar and Elisa prepared for battle.
I don’t know who the old man who suddenly appeared was, but it seemed certain that he was the mastermind behind this incident.
“Usually, capturing the culprit at a spot like this is the priority.”
Elisha’s whole body had magical powers.
Huge magic power was generated and pink petals began to scatter around.
“I don’t think we should put the same standard on them.”
Normally, Ludger had to stop, but Ludger was extremely sympathetic to Elisa’s actions.
Capture or capture, you have to do it while watching the opponent.
From Rudger’s point of view, that old man was never someone who could do anything in such an absurd way.

Like Rudger, he instinctively sensed that Elisha was about to go too far.
The opponent is said to be a very dangerous being.
The old man showed no signs of being frightened by the huge magic power that swarmed in front of him.
“Since they have been visiting me for so long, let me introduce myself. Nice to meet you. My name is Nirva. A servant of the Goddess and a manager of dreams.”
The old man introduced himself as Nirva and greeted them politely.
“Good morning. And it will be a good lunch.”
He bowed his head and raised his bowed head.
“So good night and good dreams.”
Wow!
At the same time, the magical energy Elisha had created disappeared as if it had been washed away by water.
At the center of the storm created by the magic of the petals, Elisa’s unconscious body fell to the ground like a puppet with a thread cut off.
Rudger’s eyes widened at the sight.
‘President Elisha.’
The 6th tier Lexorer level wizard was attacked without even reacting.
At the same time, through the self-introduction that Nirva said, I was able to immediately guess his identity.
“You guys. A demon.”
“You humans call me that. It really can’t be a bad word. If you analyze the meaning of the name, isn’t it an evil devil? It is no different from insulting us who have received God’s solemn mission.”
Nirva’s golden gaze turned to Ludger.
“But even so, dreams are equal for everyone. Just like our great Goddess. So, even for stupid people like you, I will show you enough mercy.”
Nirva smirked.
Fine wrinkles filled his cheeks.
“So good night and good dreams.”
come.
Something that subdued Elisha Willow at once.
It is probably the power of the demon called Nirva.
Rudger activated his magic.
It is not a physical attack. At least something else that affects the mind.
So you have to step away while protecting your brain’s functions as much as possible… … .
As he tried to escape through the shadows, Rudger felt his legs give out.
“what… … .”
A feeling of exhaustion comes over the whole body.
At the same time, the outside of the field of vision became hazy and everything began to blur.
drowsiness came
‘When the hell?’
Any attack always had a precursor, but Nirva’s power did not.
You shouldn’t sleep.
Rudger desperately tried to hold on by gritting his teeth, but once hit, the horse did not back down.
My legs gave out and I got down on one knee.
The fact that he did not fall was thanks to the fact that he managed to pull out his cane and hold it up.
But even this is ultimately an ordeal.
Nirva spoke through her eyelids, which became as heavy as a thousand pounds.
“This is amazing. To think that only humans could resist my authority to this extent.”
Even the voice of admiration in my ear sounds like a lullaby.
go to sleep Close your eyes and dream sweet dreams.
It seemed that the whole body was shouting like that.
Dig!
Rudger braced his legs and kicked himself up.
At the same time, the blade of the cane pulled from his hand was swung at Nirva’s neck.
Awesome!
An accurate blow.
Nirva’s wide eyes stared at Rudgar in amazement.
“Awesome! How do you move in such a situation? It’s already a mental power that far transcends humans.”
However, the moment he saw his severed head grinning, Rudger knew something was wrong.
“I commend you for that desperate effort. Unfortunately, I do not exist in the present world, so even if I am decapitated like this, I will not die. Even if you cut the moon reflected in the water with a sword, isn’t that the same as cutting the moon?”
A cross section of his neck that had been severed.
There, golden sand was flowing as if wriggling.
“So good night and good dreams.”
Rudgar’s body collapsed on the spot.
Just like that, my eyes are closed, and all vision is dyed black.
fell asleep
very deep and deep.
A sleep that will never wake up.
After confirming that Rudger was completely asleep, Nirva put the severed head back on.
His golden eyes looked up at the sky.
“It’s still a stuffy place to the point of nausea.”
The chanting voice was full of disgust.
A completely different look from when he was dealing with Rudger and Elisa.
“Originally, you should wake up a little longer, but since time is running out, you should be content with this much.”
Nirva’s body floated in the air.
Soon, his body was scattered like powder from the tip.
Sand glittering gold.
It started to spread in all directions by the wind.
“uh? What is that?”
Some students passing by stopped in their tracks as they saw golden powder shimmering in the air.
The student who touched the powder instantly opened his eyes and collapsed on his seat.
The student who tried to run away in surprise at the sight did not escape the same fate.
One after another, people fell asleep in an instant.
Students, teachers, and servants did not discriminate.
Regardless of how strong it was, anyone who touched the sand fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The entire Ceorn was enveloped in silence.
The golden dust did not stop at Seorn.
Like dandelion seeds blown by the wind, the golden dust made its way to the nearby city outside Ceoorn.
To give you more dreams.
* * *
Ledervelk was full of energy from daytime.
Since it was a city where magic engineering and industry were developed, steam and mechanical devices ran continuously throughout the day even in broad daylight.
Workers working there noticed golden clouds gathering from beyond.
“hey. Look at that. do you know what that is Are there any new factories nearby?”
“The color is too pretty to be considered smoke from a factory.”
“Rather than that, isn’t that where the Seorun Academy is located?”
To the citizens of Ledervelk, the golden cloud didn’t look too menacing.
It was like riding the wind and approaching slowly, and most of all, the color was beautiful.
So no one thought of getting out of it.
A wave of soma swept through the factory grounds outside Ledervelk.
Everyone who had been shouting fell silent so as not to be drowned out by the sound of the machine.
Busy trucks also stopped, and the steam golem that listened to the user’s commands also stopped operating.
The golden cloud that swept over the factory gradually engulfed all of Laedervelk.
“what’s this!”
Alex saw the people falling in the distance and quickly backed away.
Alex, who has a good sense of humor, immediately realized that he would collapse if he touched that golden powder.
Alex, who tried to call for support, realized that others were not reaching out at all.
‘Could it be that all the other guys got hurt?’
At that moment, a shadow fell vertically from the air and landed next to Alex.
It was Pantos.
Pantos had Arpa and Bellaluna on both sides.
“Are you okay?”
“Pa, I was able to escape thanks to Mr. Pantos.”
Bellaluna said with gleeful eyes, probably getting motion sickness from Pantos running so fast.
A golden wave rushed towards such Owens.
Avoid.
Just as Alex was about to warn, a gust of wind pushed the golden dust away.
“What the hell is this all about?”
Violetta slowly descended from the air wearing a black parasol.
It was a comfortable outfit that I usually wore in the middle of work.
Except for Hans and Sheridan, who fell asleep, Owens’ members gathered together.
“Who knows what the hell this is all about?”
No one answered Alex’s question.
It was equally embarrassing for them to be in this situation.
“When I see people falling asleep, I think that cloud is the cause of the incident the leader said.”
Alex tutted and clicked his tongue.
Meanwhile, the golden cloud took shape and tried to devour Owens.
Violetta swung her parasol, creating a rough wind.
The wind-swept golden clouds were torn apart and pushed back.
However, Violetta’s expression as she watched the scene was not good.
“This cloud. The resistance is getting stronger than before.”
“I saw it too.”
Pantos glared at the golden cloud with a sharp gaze.
It bloomed thickly and now reminded me of smog rather than a cloud.
The golden dust that filled the surroundings completely surrounded Owens and tried to prevent him from escaping.
It was not simply flowing indiscriminately, but something moving with will.
“I’ll open the road for now.”
Escape immediately was the priority.
Violetta created magic and implemented the spell.
While learning magic from Rudger, he did not waste a single day of training.
In particular, Violetta has a great talent for attribute magic related to wind.
To the extent that even Rudger was genuinely surprised while teaching.
Thanks to that, even though it was a short time, Violetta was able to learn powerful magic.
Although the utilization and types of wind attribute magic, which can be said to be the greatest strength, are lacking.
At least in terms of pure output, I was not beaten anywhere.
Violetta extended her parasol.
A small whirlpool exploded at the end of the parasol that was gracefully raised and collided with the golden smoke.
Quaggagak!
But her magic, far from pushing away the fumes, rather scattered in all directions as if blocked by a wall.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise and amazement.
Violetta, the person who used the magic, was particularly shocked.
“Nonsense. How can a single soot blow the wind… … .”
I thought it was not an ordinary cloud, but it blocks wind magic equivalent to the 4th tier?
Fuhuaak!
Without time to feel the sense of danger, a golden cloud rushed in to engulf everyone.
