53. The Pope of the Black Sun (5)
A roar erupts. A giant fist of light strikes Karnak.
Gooooo!
If I get hit, I’ll end up in the goal, so I can’t just sit still.
With all his might, Karnak cast the Wind Walk spell.
‘Ah! You really don’t give me a chance to rest!’
Charrrrrr!
A purple chainsword flew into the giant’s legs, narrowly missing its target.
Four chains of shackles bound the giant’s two ankles.
The giant’s massive body shook for a moment. The other end of the chainsword was entangled in a nearby building.
Grabbing the giant’s foot would obviously be ineffective with Baros’s weight, but it would give him temporary control over his movements.
Of course, the chain of speculation was soon shattered simply by the giant putting strength into his two legs.
Purple shards scattered in all directions and melted into the air.
Baros hurriedly sent out the message.
[Serati! Behind!]
Serati, who climbed up to the roof of the building, follows up with a signal.
A long blue blast strikes the giant’s back of the head.
[Sir Levin takes advantage of this gap and runs away!]
Levin, whose body has been strengthened by a red aura, dives in like an island and strikes.
It makes a long impact sound on its skin made of light and then runs away!
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the successive explosions, Baros continued to issue orders by word of mouth.
[No need to knock them down! Just recognize them as obstacles!]
This secret magical message has many uses in combat beyond simply allowing you to tell secret stories.
In a situation where you have to run around frantically, swing your sword, and recite spells, it’s never a wise decision to talk loudly. Even the slightest mistake is likely to cause you to lose your breath, right?
Moreover, if the distance is too far, voices cannot reach each other, there is a risk that the other party will find out about your strategy, and since voices have limitations, quick communication is also difficult.
But with covert messaging magic, all these drawbacks disappear.
However, the reason why there are not many people who use this magic is because the difficulty of using it is too high.
It’s a similar case to making a translation necklace.
Translation magic itself is a 9th circle enchantment series, but the only one that can actually create the necklace is Archmage Diogres’ Dawn Tower. Even Eleazar and Guillen Ren cannot do it.
The technique is so detailed and extensive that even a great magician cannot make it ‘properly’ unless he is a specialist.
Likewise, the secret magic message itself consumed very little magic power. It could be cast by a 3rd circle magician.
However, to use it properly, truly delicate magic management is essential.
When casting magic, even if the flow of magic is slightly disrupted, noise will be introduced during communication.
Well, it wasn’t particularly difficult for Karnak, who had the enviable operational capabilities but was lacking in magical power.
[Keep pushing!]
Following Baros’ instructions, the Auror users continued to attack the Light Giant.
Lapiselle didn’t benefit from the secret message, but it didn’t matter.
Just by looking at the situation, you can figure out the tactic and follow it.
Even in the midst of all that, I felt a bit of admiration.
‘Veterans are different! They work together so well without saying a word!’
So Baros, Serati, Levon, and Lapiselle continued to circle around the giant.
“Ta-at!”
“Huh!”
“Hey!”
It doesn’t really cause any damage, but it still continues to distract you.
To give Karnak some time to cast his magic.
The giant of light turned his head as the group’s attacks poured in one after another.
During that time, Karnak also quickly prepared his magic.
Dozens of flashes of light flew towards him as he recited the spell.
‘Oh my god! Again?’
Even though the giant of light is distracted, some of his flashes are directed at Karnak.
It’s like the feeling of chasing bugs with one hand while continuing to do something with the other?
Karnak hurriedly canceled the ritual and flew away.
Kwakwakwakwang!
An explosion occurred above the avoided area.
It wasn’t a particularly sophisticated or fast attack, so avoiding it wasn’t that difficult.
Immediately a barrage of flashes of light comes after him.
Karnak broke out in a cold sweat as he began to wind walk again.
There is no solution if things continue like this. It is time to think of a different solution.
Baros gave his opinion by telegram.
[Why can’t you just use necromancy, Master? It’s good to live like a human, but you have to live first!]
Of course, Karnak did not avoid using necromancy for such good reasons.
[If I thought it would work, I would have written it a long time ago!]
No matter how much darkness is mixed in, it is still a sacred art.
Since ancient times, sacred power has been the antithesis of necromancy.
It is the highest level of spiritualism, even called a miracle, and is one of the secret moves of the Latiel Church.
[The gap is too big! Even if I rub it with my current command power, I won’t get an answer!]

Chaos magic, which can borrow the magical power of the Transcendent Being, was more likely.
[Of course, there is a way to increase command power in the short term… … .]
Levin asked urgently.
[Is there a way to amplify it in a short period of time?]
I continue asking questions because I think it would be better to do it if possible.
[What is that?]
But he should have known.
Why did Serati have that expression on her face at that moment, like, ‘Oh my, that’s not true. It’s obvious as you can see.’
[Eating a corpse.]
[……yes?]
[Eating a corpse. A dead person’s corpse.]
Yes, that’s right.
I’ve said it time and time again, but there’s a reason why necromancy is so widely despised.
[… … Sorry. Let me find another way.]
Karnak added hastily.
[Just in case there’s any misunderstanding, I’m saying this, but I never did anything like that in my past life. No matter what, I thought that a person shouldn’t fall to that level.]
Anyway, with this, I can definitely give up my obsession with necromancy.
Karnak continued to move through the city, avoiding the onslaught of the oncoming giants.
Repeatedly casting the magic of Wind Walk, he passes through buildings and alleys.
In the past, even if you had enough magic power, your stamina would be depleted and you would slowly fall down.
But surprisingly, my body was holding up pretty well. It was worth eating good food and working out hard.
Being physically fit doesn’t just mean increasing your physical abilities.
The mind cannot escape the bonds of the body, so as physical strength increases, the brain becomes more agile.
‘Oh, maybe this?’
Suddenly, a solution popped into my mind.
[Everyone! Give up on tying that guy’s feet!]
Karnak sent out a message, drawing on his magical power.
[Instead, hold out for just 5 seconds with full power!]
***
Baros and Serati exchanged glances.
‘5 seconds?’
‘If it’s to that extent, then somehow… … .’
Up until now, I’ve been attacking sequentially and trying to somehow keep the flow of attacks from being interrupted. The goal was to buy Karnak as much time as possible.
But if your goal is to just tie your feet up for a little while, it’s a different story.
All you have to do is charge at them with full force for 5 seconds, and then retreat all at once just before it becomes dangerous.
“Taaaat!”
Baros launched himself, throwing his chainswords with both hands.
Serati, Levon, and Lapiselle followed immediately.
Attack the giant’s head, shoulders, and ankles at the same time. The intention is to draw the opponent’s attention as much as possible.
A colorful aura flashes around the giant.
The giant of light immediately counterattacked.
Woohoo!
As I wave my arms wildly, a mist of particles spreads through the air and light falls like rain.
The pouring rain of destruction explodes, repeatedly tearing at the earth.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Everyone did their best in the face of the pouring onslaught of giants.
Sometimes dodging, sometimes bouncing back, I tried my best to block the light giant.
Five seconds, which seemed like a fleeting moment but felt like an eon to the group, passed by.
Finally, Karnak perfected his magic.
“Rise up, spirits of the earth!”
Over 30 golems began crawling out of the streets like zombies.
It was a type of sorcery, the simultaneous summoning of golems.
Since it is a technique that uses sorcery, it was inevitable that the production would look a bit gloomy.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a rough sound of footsteps, the golems rushed at the giant of light.
The golems in the lead swing their rock fists and charge forward, while the golems in the rear simultaneously extend their hands and fire magic bullets.
Levin, who had been stepping back to catch his breath, frowned.
‘This is too weak to do much damage?’
The golems struggled, but were unable to do anything to the giant.
Those who dare to charge with a grenade will be crushed and destroyed, turning into rubble.
Even the bullets fired from the rear simply bounce off the giant’s skin.
But Karnak was not disappointed.
Anyway, we’re still tying up the giant’s feet.
From the beginning, the plan was to buy double the time.
I cannot waste this precious time that I have barely secured.
Karnak immediately prepared his next spell. Four types of magic circles appeared around him, flickering.
“Come, El Lagnatia!”
The fire elemental giant revealed its majestic body along with the hot heat.
And that’s not all.
The water, rock, and wind spirit giants also appear one after another.
And once again the fire giant manifests his flaming body on the ground.
‘It’s a success!’
Consecutive summoning of spirits, the strongest magic Karnak can currently use.
In terms of destructive power, it is no less than the 9th circle, its durability is also excellent, and above all, since there are many of them, it is perfect for buying time.
If this is the case, even in the worst case scenario, I think I can last until the end of Jedex’s psychic power!
Karnak gave the order with great pride.
“Go! Destroy that bastard!”
The spirit giants all rushed at the light giant.
It was definitely different from when the golem horde attacked.
Compared to the giants of light, their size is not that much smaller, and their aura is not that much smaller either.
Above all, there are a lot of numbers.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a continuous explosion around the giant of light.
The giant staggered back, his first sign of weakness since appearing on the ground.
‘Okay, if we just hold on like this… … .’
It was when a smile appeared on Karnak’s lips.
The giant of light covered his head with both arms and roared into the air.
Woohoo!
It was as if he was appealing to the heavens for something.
Waves of light formed a ring around the giant and spread out in all directions.
Phaaaat!
The ripples pass by, covering the summoned spirit giants one by one.
The spirits enveloped in light all stopped moving as if they had made a promise.
Karnak’s expression hardened for a moment.
‘uh?’
The sacred art that Jedex had unfolded was the light of liberation.
‘You can still use it in that condition?’
In the past, I couldn’t use such complex powers because I didn’t have any intelligence left.
She simply wielded the pure power of the goddess herself.
‘Why now? Because the darkness is mixed? But can you use divine magic like that because the darkness is mixed?’
The spirit giants began to blur together.
It was a phenomenon in which the summons was lifted.
It was a natural result, as the light of liberation enveloped those who were bound.
The carefully prepared measures went down the drain. Karnak ground his teeth.
“Shit…….”
But something unexpected happened.
“Ahhhhh!”
Suddenly, Lapiselle screamed and grabbed her head.
Surprised, Serati and Levin looked back at her.
“Lapiselle?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
Karnak’s face turned pale.
‘Oops!’
Just now, the Light Giant sent out a beam of liberation. And that light covered not only the spirit giants, but also the entire area, including Karnak and his party.
But isn’t there an old memory that Karnak sealed in Lapiselle’s head?
Memories of the terrible pain of walking through hell for decades with my soul torn apart.
“AAAAAHHHH!”
The evil spirit king Karnak
