46. Rich Slayer (5)
The fallen Erantel groaned.
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
His whole body was covered in blood.
His beloved sword was broken in two, his armor was shattered and tattered, and the twisted muscles beneath his torn skin were in excruciating pain.
Theoderic, on the other side, was in a similar situation.
He was unconscious and bleeding from his eyes, nose, and mouth.
The magic backflow occurred because I used too much mana to block Maloka’s magic.
The image of Archlich preparing for an additional attack was reflected in Erantel’s eyes.
“I will offer your heads to the god of death.”
An eerie magical blade flies through the air.
Erantel tried to move his body.
‘Blood, avoid… … .’
But that was all there was to it.
With my current body in shambles, it was impossible to do anything more than that.
Just before being torn to pieces and heading towards the goddess’s embrace.
“Hatobashi!”
Alius gasped for breath and unleashed the last of his divine power.
“May the blessings of the earth be upon your servants!”
The ground rose up and formed a large shield between the two.
The flying magic blade collided with the earthen wall, making an eerie noise.
Boom!
Alius, who barely managed to save the two, let out a sigh of relief.
‘Hey, it’s not too late.’
The problem is that in return, all of his energy is gone.
“As expected, those priests are annoying.”
Looking back, Malloka chuckled.
“I’m telling you, there’s no one better than me at throwing ashes on rice that’s already been cooked.”
A bony finger pointed at Alius.
At the same time, a flash of light pierced the air.
Alius’ head is about to burst like a ripe watermelon!
“Ta-at!”
The blue sword deflected the light.
It was Serati who jumped out of the cliff and narrowly blocked my path.
“Lapiselle!”
“yes!”
As soon as her instructions were given, Lapiselle ran carrying Alius.
Then Baros dug into Maloka’s left side and swung his sword.
Charrrrrr!
The red chainsword pierces through the dust and rushes forward. The sword light arcs across the night sky, aiming for Lich’s skull.
Maloka let out a cold voice as she spread out her mana shield to defend herself.
“Yeah, you guys were there.”
A magic circle appears beneath Archlich’s feet and emits light.
“I will make you pay the price for daring to toy with this body!”
Flames and lightning mingled and spread out in all directions like tentacles. The outstretched magics twisted and turned in the air, pouring down on Baros.
“Ta-at!”
Baros turned his body, shouting.
The chainsword wrapped around his entire body, turning into a red vortex.
Phage, phage, phage!
Auror’s whirlwind began to repel all the incoming magic.
It was a technique to avoid being hit head-on and then dodge to the side.
After breaking the magic, he immediately releases the chainsword and launches another attack.
“Take it!”
The red sword light raced dizzily through the darkness of the night, targeting Arkrich in all directions.
Malloka also responded by continuously casting magic.
Red auras and intense magic clashed in the air, shaking the atmosphere.
In fact, the result is obvious.
How could a mere red-level aura user possibly go toe-to-toe with a 9th circle master?
however…….
‘Hey, this guy?’
Malloka was embarrassed.
Baross was harder than I thought.
Approach instantly and swing your sword, then immediately retreat and swing your chainsword.
The flying magic is dodged as if by foresight and then attacked again, and the timing is admirably perfect.
‘You only dealt with wizards after eating, how can you be so good at it?’
In fact, this was the specialty of Karnak and Baros.
In the meantime, I have suppressed all kinds of shamans through experience alone.
But that experience was only indirect, a reverse application of the experience of the enemy facing me, since they were on the shaman side.

All the truly formidable opponents I’ve faced in my past life have to be either magicians or Auror users.
Of course, no matter how experienced you are, the skill gap is so great that you can’t last long.
“Huh!”
With a roar from Baros, the chainsword barely grazed Maloka’s robe.
The hem of the clothes tore slightly and black smoke billowed out.
Quickly stepping back, Baros uttered a magical message.
[Your Majesty! I think I’ve done enough!]
[I’m already ready!]
Karnak raised his wand and chanted a spell.
“Come, El Lagnatia!”
The giant flame spirit that I’ve been seeing so often that I’m starting to grow fond of it has appeared.
“Huh! That again?”
Malloka snorted.
“He is a man lacking talent.”
“It’s not like I don’t know how to use other magic, right?”
There was no choice.
Among the magic that Karnak can currently use, the only one that has the best power compared to Circle is Spirit Giant.
The summoned El Lagnatia roars and charges.
Khoooo!
Malloka reached out her hand absentmindedly.
“Something like this… … .”
The reason I was flustered earlier was because it went beyond common sense regarding spirit magic, and I wasn’t particularly surprised by its power.
“It can be destroyed in one blow.”
A huge lightning bolt flashed and pierced the giant’s torso.
A brilliant flash of light erupted and thunder rumbled.
Kwaaaaang!
The spirit giant exploded, sending flames flying in all directions, burning the earth.
It was literally shattered in one room.
Now, if we just catch that Karnak guy, it’ll be over…
Malloka looked around.
‘Huh? Where did this guy go?’
Clearly, the spot where Karnak had stood just moments ago was empty.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That was when.
“Ark Reach!”
Karnak’s voice was heard from beyond the crevice of the cliff.
“Is that what you want?”
The black-haired young man appeared again from the top of the cliff.
He looks down at the malloca and snaps his fingers.
“Come with me! Let’s settle this between us!”
It was not Malloka but Levin who was confused.
[That won’t work, Karnak!]
[Huh? What?]
[There are so many hostages here!]
Only then did Karnak look around in surprise.
Levin was right.
I made a mistake because I didn’t even realize that I might be in a situation where I had to protect someone.
… … I thought so.
‘I can’t do it. Hostages don’t work on him!’
Clicking his tongue, Archlich flew into the air.
Malloka didn’t know why she thought that. She was just sure of it at that moment, and didn’t have any doubts.
“Do you think I’ll let you run away?”
[It works fine! Why are you confusing people like that?]
Karnak disappeared into the forest, leaving behind a white sound.
Malloka also followed at a fast pace.
‘Huh? You’re chasing me?’
The remaining Levin was just dumbfounded.
‘Why does that work?’
* * *
Karnak has lured Maloka away, so we must quickly chase after him and provide him with support.
“Two take care of other people!”
After giving instructions to Levon and Lapiselle, Serati flew away.
Since the two of them are not Auror users, they probably lack the physical ability to chase after them.
Baros also quickly followed her.
The priests sighed as they watched the two moving away and exclaimed in admiration.
“The rumors I’ve heard… … .”
“It wasn’t an exaggeration.”
It was said that a righteous hero named Karnak appeared in the kingdom of Yustil to punish the forces of darkness and save the people, and it was indeed true.
Otherwise, how could he have risked his life to save people?
On the other hand, Levin had a subtle expression.
‘To save his comrades? That human? Really?’
Now he too was beginning to understand the man named Karnak to some extent.
‘Rather than that, isn’t it just that… … he avoided people’s eyes because he wanted to use sorcery?’
As expected, an intense dark energy bursts out from across the forest.
The priests were impressed.
“Arkrich uses the power of darkness.”
Soon, a powerful magical light illuminates various parts of the forest.
“It seems like even Lord Karnak is a worthy opponent.”
The priests prayed, shedding sighs.
“May the goddess bless the hero.”
Levin was just maintaining an ambiguous expression.
‘Well, I’m not sure if that’s true… … .’
* * *
An evil, dark aura filled the forest.
Saaaaa… … .
All kinds of evil spirits are constantly weeping and changing their forms. Leaves wither and weeds freeze.
And then, it flies away in front of the brilliant magic flames.
Kwaaaaang!
The heat and wind along with the explosion swept away the evil spirits.
However, the evil spirits’ momentum did not disappear.
With a light gesture, with a sinister voice, they start dancing again, emerging from the darkness with a shriek.
Malloka nodded in disbelief.
“What kind of wizard is so good at necromancy?”
As Revan had expected, the dark aura shaking the forest was all Karnak’s work.
As soon as they change battlefields, they start using their necromancy skills blatantly.
On the other hand, Malloka only uses magic faithfully.
Because I’ve been using the spell incorrectly for a while now and have been repeatedly counterattacked.
As he continued to run away, Karnak used his magic.
Baros and Serati also continued to attack Malloka, repeatedly hitting and running away.
But it didn’t really become advantageous or anything.
Because the difference in magical power is so extreme, even if you use necromancy, you can barely escape a crisis.
“Ah, I guess I lack commanding power.”
Baros sent a message to the grumbling Karnak.
[Isn’t there any way to increase it in a hurry?]
[It exists.]
[Then use it!]
[Even if I go back now and sacrifice them all to exchange them for command power?]
Serati hurriedly joined the conversation.
[Are you crazy? Absolutely not!]
[I see, right?]
Karnak, sweating profusely, examined Maloka’s condition.
“Still, it seems like my mana is pretty depleted… … .”
Perhaps because I wasted so much magic inefficiently, the amount of magical energy flowing out has decreased significantly compared to before. However, it is still an overwhelming amount of magical energy.
“Do you think it’s worth a try now?”
Maloka chuckled, sensing the mood.
“I’ll show you how big of a mistake that is.”
And then he puts his hand into Rob’s bosom.
“Behold the infinite power of His.”
A vast aura rose above Archlich’s robe. Once again, a vast amount of mana was drawn from somewhere.
Baros and Serati’s complexions turned pale.
‘What? Mana recovered again?’
‘How on earth?’
Even when I finally made you tired, it was hard to handle. Now, starting over again?
There is absolutely no chance of winning in this case!
That was when.
“Ha, hahahaha.”
Suddenly Karnak burst into laughter.
“What, was it something like that?”
Malloka took a step back without realizing it.
“What’s so funny?”
Of course, it’s obvious that it’s a bluff, but the moment I hear that laughter, an inexplicable fear crawls up from deep within my soul.
Karnak shrugged.
“It’s nothing.”
That was when.
A terrifying aura began to surge from his body.
“omg!”
The astonished Malloka clacked her chin.
The entire space was filled with pure magical energy and shook as if it was going to explode.
‘Where does that mana come from?’
Even more, it is a whopping amount, twice his own!
“Thank you, Malloka.”
Standing tall in the vortex of mana, Karnak smiled brightly.
“Truly, you have been a very helpful friend, both then and now.”
The evil spirit king Karnak
