Part 2 Episode 56
Shiro
There were people that Guy had categorized separately in advance to enter the Ghost Castle.
<Lightweight>
<Haste>
They ran on the bridge, casting magic on their bodies one after another in order to run faster.
Then, when the end was almost over.
Tuk!
Tu-tu-tu-tuk!
All the ropes that held the bridge together were broken.
“… !”
“As expected, what tricks did they use…?” !”
“Everyone, don’t panic and move calmly!”
Among those falling down was Elric.
Without panic, he twisted his body and regained his balance.
“【Rise】.”
Then, he immediately used magic to levitate his body.
Other war mages also used flight magic one after another. Everyone had calm faces. Because flying magic was very basic during battle.
‘I expected it, but I never thought they would hang up so blatantly.’
Elric looked up with a displeased expression.
I wasn’t that surprised because I already had it in mind, but even before the bridge broke, I thought to myself, ‘No way?’
Cutting off the bridge was an obvious plan for anyone to see.
‘Well, there’s no problem with that.’
The barrier has already been almost completely broken.
Now that the barrier was not performing properly, I could use flight magic with peace of mind.
There might be a sudden shooting down spell, but that could be resolved by setting up Hul or the dragon soldiers as shields.
Thinking like that, I was about to go up.
Suddenly, light exploded in the sky, and a translucent sphere was created.
Ssaaaa-
The sphere broke apart and spread along the sky.
The unidentified aura soon disappeared.
and.
Tuk!
Tu-tu-tuk!
Elric’s magic was forcibly canceled. The blue magic that surrounded his body disappeared.
The fall started again.
“What is this again, Dispel?”
Elric’s face slightly distorted.
Dispel is an axis that is quite difficult to use.
But you installed it in a wide area?
This meant that a lot of preparations had been made for a long time in preparation for an external invasion, from not only the thick barrier but also the cutting of the sky bridge to this point.
The war mages who seemed to have fallen helplessly were also quite surprised.
But their counterattack did not stop there.
At the end of that high cliff. Countless shadows began pouring out of the ghost castle.
As the name suggests, shadows are slippery and swim in the sky like ‘ghosts’.
Something started flying out of there.
Cham-chan-chan-!
The war mages tried to defend themselves in a seemingly unusual atmosphere.
Pipipic!
This time too, the magic was nullified due to the dispel.
The effect, which had lost its power, was the only thing left embroidering in the air.
“ah… !”
Embarrassment spread across the faces of some war mages.
Pabababak!
An unidentified attack took advantage of the darkness and pierced their chests.
It was a dagger.
It was also extremely poisonous.
Whoosh, whoosh… .
Before any attempt was made to detoxify the war mages, they foamed at the mouth or died suddenly with pale complexions.
The war mages who were lucky enough to survive had to bite their lips to find out the identity of those shadows.
The ghost castle’s top assassins, who are said to have gathered only the most elite members of the assassination group, took action directly.
and.
Susss-
The assassins began to rush in this direction at once.
Nettle liquid-
“shit! Stop it now!”
Contrary to what they shouted excitedly, there was nothing they could do.
Even if you tried to use magic, it was immediately canceled or it flew in a completely different direction from what you had thought.

These are all phenomena created by wide-area dispel magic.
Crack!
An assassin suddenly appeared right behind the War Mage, suffocated him, and slowly disappeared into the sky.
Their clothes had a bizarre shape with the top and bottom connected, like the skin of a flying squirrel.
“Wow!”
“shit! where are you!”
The panicked war mages turned their heads here and there, looking for the assassins.
However, it was impossible to easily find these people who appeared and disappeared repeatedly.
Even if they could find them, it’s highly unlikely that people who can’t even use magic would be able to catch them.
It was truly daunting, like dealing with a real ghost.
To make matters worse, he is now falling.
It was a shame because the canyon was so deep, it was clear that if they continued like this, they would all die in droves.
It seemed like Ghost Castle was aiming for that too.
‘Somehow!’
‘I have to figure it out somehow… !’
While the faces of the war mages showed a sense of urgency.
Meanwhile, Elric tried to somehow maintain his cool and find out the secrets of the Phantom Castle assassins.
‘How on earth can you jump around in the sky at will?’
The biggest way was magic, but that wasn’t possible.
The biggest drawback of wide-area dispel magic was that it could not target a specific target.
Because it twisted all the mana streams within a certain range of space, there was no way to distinguish between enemies and enemies.
So, using artifacts would never have been possible.
So, it was usually the method used by those who mainly use swords and martial arts, such as the Lion Gongga, when dealing with wizards… .
“what? how… ?”
Even if you try to use the Mind’s Eye, the magic power is sealed, making it difficult to use it right away.
Of course, that didn’t mean there were no ways to fight back.
‘Rather than that… ‘When will it be resolved?’
In the mind. Elric touched something that was itching for a while.
‘done!’
With the feeling of being released soon, I was able to succeed in extracting new energy rather than magical power.
You’re late.
What bloomed from Elric’s fingertips along with Hyul’s rebuke was a black haze like a shadow, none other than Magi.
Magical energy and magic energy are of completely different nature.
Fortunately, that dispel magic was specialized for locking magical energy, so I was able to extract magical energy like this.
Of course, since the magic energy controlled by Elric is fused with magic, the amount that can be used separately is extremely low.
But that was enough.
To overcome this primary crisis.
“How complicated is that technique? “Isn’t it great just to calculate it backwards and solve the magic problem?”
Elric grumbled in frustration and opened his eyes wide.
“But they probably never thought of this, did they?”
He guided the magic energy into the pupils. Then, the green eyes turned black as if black ink had been spilled.
The mind’s eye is opened.
Thanks to you, I was able to see it.
Between cliffs and cliffs. Very thin threads are intricately intertwined between the crevices of the canyon.
The assassins were jumping around like spiders on a spider web.
* * *
The threads that started from the ghost castle spread throughout the surrounding area as densely as a spider web.
Not only the cliff, but also the floor where the war mages were standing.
The assassins seemed to be ‘flying’ as they ran over it without a care in the world.
A technique that can truly be called an art.
“The primary target, a person presumed to be Elric Mervinger, has been found.”
“There were instructions from the top that they did not know what kind of counterattack he might prepare.”
“So from now on, we will attempt a quick removal.”
Then, a group of assassins spotted Elric and started gliding towards him.
Nettle liquid-
‘I have to cut that thread first… !’
As Elric thought so, he gathered demon energy into his fingertips.
But is it possible to easily cut those threads, which have the strength to withstand most bindings without any magical power?
Moreover, for some reason, demonic energy was stirring around the room.
It meant that it had an unusual history.
『It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this.』
It was then that Mephisto opened his mouth.
When I turned my head, he was looking at the assassins running around on the thread with interest.
“why? “Do you know what that is?”
Elric’s face lit up.
If Mephisto knows the identity of the thread, he would also know how to break it.
『I know. During the time when King Bon was active, demons attempted to assassinate him in this way many times. It’s strange not knowing!』
“The skills of demons… ?”
『But from what I can see, they are nothing more than imitations, and cannot be used properly… !』
“Hey, Mephie.”
Elric hung up on Mephisto with a frown on his face.
“Does that matter now? So what is that? “You’re saying something strange.”
“you you… !』
“Can’t you see me and the wizards falling apart now? “Speak quickly, come on!”
Mephisto was embarrassed and looked like he wanted to get his words out right away.
However, as Elric said, the situation was what it was and I had no choice but to endure it.
In a situation like this, if you offended Elric for no reason, you would be the one suffering the loss.
He continued, pointing to the thread.
『That is called Cheonjamsa (天蠶絲). Of course, unlike ordinary ones, it is a thread spun from a very rare monster silkworm.』
“Monster… “Ira.”
For some reason, there was a demonic energy stirring in the thread.
“Then how do I quit?”
『The Cheonjamsa is not only durable, but it is also very sharp, so it will cut through most types of magic. You have to burn it with fire magic or use a specially processed knife that can cut the thread.』
After hearing his words, Elric was troubled for a moment.
For now, let’s pass the magic.
Simple magic can be used somehow, but it has no effect.
If that happens, the power will naturally drop.
But that doesn’t mean there’s a knife like that.
What should I do with this?
‘If there’s a way, we have to forcefully bring Hyul out here… !’
Therefore, war mages may also fall into danger.
But now that I could almost see the ground, I couldn’t postpone the decision any longer.
A decision had to be made.
‘I can’t help it!’
It was a time when Elric tried to activate the evil spirit’s seal to the maximum, even if it was excessive.
『Oh, now that I think about it, there was another way.』
Mephisto said as if something occurred to him.
Elric’s gaze quickly returned to that direction.
『Or you can use the same thread.』
Mephisto grinned and said something unintelligible.
* * *
On top of a cliff with a six-mangseong castle.
Guy and the executives were talking with serious expressions.
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. Even if it is a protected base of the Inspection Bureau, there is such a large-scale dispel barrier!”
Guy nodded heavily. He was thinking that too.
With a magic barrier this size, they couldn’t help but be caught by their own magic detection.
“I guess I have to be careful. “There must be something else hidden besides the ghost castle.”
And above all, Guy was unable to even expand his own territory.
A skill that only a great sage of the 9th circle can perform.
The great magic of realizing the secret wish you envision in your mind into reality.
As it is a technique that draws out all magical power, it was bound to be very difficult to deploy under wide-area dispel magic.
If that’s a good thing.
Grumble!
“Wow!”
At that moment, the assassins who were aiming for this direction were hit by fireballs and fell.
Even basic 1st circle magic such as fireball or magic missile is not blocked.
No, to be precise, it was just Gai forcibly unleashing his magic power.
This alone was very important at a time when all wizards’ hands and feet were tied.
The power was so strong that it was difficult to think of it as a 1st circle magic, so the assassins were unable to attack it hastily.
However, the expression on Guy’s face was not very good.
‘Who on earth created a barrier like this…’
No matter how dispelled it was, it was not absolute.
Basically, it is a technique that is difficult to demonstrate unless it exceeds the opponent’s magical power.
However, being able to suppress the magic of Guy, the owner of the magic tower, to this extent meant that the dispel magic caster or system was superior to him.
So it has to be stuffy.
Above all, if their feet were tied up like this, there was no way to save the War Mages who had already fallen down that canyon.
It was frustrating because I didn’t know what would happen.
The good news is that there is an Elric down there.
‘Elic, hurry.’
Therefore, Guy barely held back his nervousness and hoped that Elric would do something quickly.
Because he was the only one who could remove the dispel magic right now.
Wizard who swallowed talent
