Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 340

Part 2 Episode 80

summer’s grave

Elric left those words and returned to the outside world.

Even though I said it was going to be very easy, that doesn’t mean it was really easy.

Hwaaaaaaa!

My vision reversed and the scene inside the carriage came into view.

Rattling.

I felt the carriage shake slightly.

“uh? “Are you awake?”

And Tasha was the first to notice that Elric had returned and spoke to him.

“Did you get what you wanted?”

“A little bit. “Nothing special has happened so far, right?”

“yes. “Not yet.”

“thank god.”

Elric answered with relief.

The reason he came back here for a while was because he was worried that he might be attacked by Lion Gongga or Cromhel.

There have been small conflicts with them until now, but recently something major happened at the same time: the death of the Empress Dowager and the collapse of the Ghost Castle.

At this rate, there was a good chance that there would be a full-scale attack from that side.

No, it wasn’t strange at all if he only persistently targeted Elric.

But fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any problems so far.

‘If you think about it, this situation is rather strange.’

However, Elric felt uncomfortable about that fact.

Because the people he knew would never stay still.

‘I don’t think it’s simply because there is an alliance between the Magic Tower and the Protestant Church.’

I’m not sure.

But I thought there must be something else.

‘Maybe the golden lion can move it himself… . Then, do you think we’ll be able to meet King Yulho and Sean soon?’

It felt like everything was working together.

“Anyway, how long is it until we get to the Jewel Forest?”

But this is something we cannot know right now.

Elric roughly gathered his thoughts and asked.

“They say it will still take a while. “About a month at most?”

“hmm… “Then, please continue to be just like you are now.”

“yes?”

Tasha asked back as if what that meant.

“I still have some business left to do.”

With those words, Elric entered the inner world again.

* * *

From then on.

Elric’s life was monotonous.

I went back and forth between the inner world and the outer world without stopping until I reached the Forest of Jewels.

Entering the world of images, he often danced with the Winter Six, including Hargan, one after another, while searching for any traces of King Yulho.

This was because, as the collision with the Golden Lion was approaching, it was necessary to increase power as much as possible.

Fortunately, Elric has recently been able to feel that the gap in skill between him and Winter 6 has almost disappeared.

“no. “In some ways, they are now much superior to us.”

Chepeshu and Damir calmly nodded at Nahatram’s words.

“that… .”

“Of course, we may be superior to you in each of our attributes and qualities. But when it comes to fighting alone, we are no longer comparable to you in terms of overall knowledge or depth.”

Elric had a strange feeling.

Hearing praise from those who had been his teacher in place of Otto Hahn for some time felt strange.

“You look touched?”

“… “It’s not really like that, is it?”

In times like this, what kind of reaction should I show?

Unlike before, when Elric was always confident, he could not speak hastily.

Of course, it could not be said that all six winter chapters were overcome.

As Nahatram said, his advantage is limited to comprehensive aspects such as ‘fighting’.

Nahatram is still in spearmanship,

In magic, Mia,

In holy magic, Damir is

In black magic, Chepesuga,

He had much deeper knowledge than that.

That was because they were absolute beings who had been active since the age of myth.

So Elric still needed to learn more from them.

More than anything.

‘There’s still a long way to go beyond Hargan.’

The power of Otto Hahn’s left arm was on a different level from the other 6 chapters.

Fortunately, as I continued to compete with Hargan, I started to become accustomed to her skills.

Chop clap!

Elric moved around with quick footwork and dodged Hargan’s scythe.

Attacks flying to the thighs, shoulders, and waist.

The scythes all grazed him at just the right angle.

In the past, he would have been stabbed several times, but it was thanks to his baby-like walking skills that he had improved to a usable level.

Hargan stared at the scythe cutting through the air in vain, then turned his gaze to Elric and said.

“… It’s pretty good. “I never thought I would reach this level already.”

“This brother is quite amazing. But are you short, little brother?”

“… .”

Hargan kept his mouth shut at those words.

Elric ignored Hargan, who was glaring at him with murderous eyes, and looked back on his achievements so far.

‘It’s definitely increased a lot.’

Although he was not yet as soft as Hargan, he was able to use foot techniques and new techniques freely.

An unknown treasure.

Nameless body.

That’s what Hargan called the art he taught to Elric.

Anonymous means ‘without a name.’

As Elric knew, both arts were created based on Muron, which Hargan devoted his entire life to create.

But I thought it was a too insincere name for something like that.

-Because the important thing is not the name.

-Your words are short?

-… Crash! What’s important isn’t the name.

-then?

-It’s me.

-… !

-In the end, these skills are just tools. The important thing is that if you strengthen me, that will be enough. As soon as it is no longer useful, I will throw it away.

equipment.

At the time, the impact those words had on Elric was very great.

Because he had never thought about it like that.

Arrangement diagram left behind by Otto Hahn. Arceus’ teachings. My grandfather’s words too. Winter 6th chapter of school.

These were all important treasures to Elric.

It is something that must be understood and trained.

So it must shine like a star in the sky.

Such a family treasure.

But Hargan spoke clearly.

In the end, the important thing is the person who uses the treasure, so isn’t the most important thing?

It was something Elric always thought about as well, but hearing it from this angle made it a great realization.

It was from then on.

Elric didn’t pay much attention to the Nameless Treasure and the Nameless God.

I didn’t try to copy the same thing or be restricted by format.

Instead, I tried mixing it around.

Sometimes it’s magic.

And sometimes, it’s a magic application ceremony.

I also tried applying it to the mind’s eye.

As a result, I could feel my body completely adapting to Hargan’s skills.

From then on, Elric’s skills increased explosively.

It was from that point on that Nahatram and others actually said that there was no need to do business with them.

At the same time, there has come a point where even if you dance with Hargan, your skills will no longer improve.

It was a wall.

Wall of Enlightenment.

‘If possible, I want to improve my skills even more before I arrive at the Jewel Forest… After all, that’s the only way, right?’

Elric looked at Hargan while thinking this.

“… ?”

Hargan looked at Elric with a very uncomfortable expression.

Elric asked, raising the corners of his mouth.

“Brother, can you do me a favor?”

“… “What else are you going to talk about?”

Hargan made a disgusted expression. Although quite a bit of time had passed, I still felt nervous whenever I thought of the bet Elric had proposed.

“You’re not expecting me to respond, are you, Onii-sama?”

It was clearly sarcastic.

However, Hargan’s expression changed after the next words.

“Now that I’m used to this kind of dance, can’t I do it like it’s a real fight? “With the concept of special training.”

“… .”

“If you do that, I won’t let you call me your brother anymore. Of course, they treated it with respect like other winters. how is it?”

A proposition with nothing to lose, even if you just listen to it.

However, because Hargan had been so badly burned, he was unable to answer hastily.

But even for a moment.

She was able to realize that there was no need for Elric to have a plan.

“Could you possibly die?”

“I rather like it.”

Elric said with a bright smile.

“no. “That’s not it.”

“… ?”

“You could really die.”

“So you’re saying it’s good?”

“… ?”

“… ?”

Hargan and Elric both tilted their heads.

The conversation between the two people was somehow running parallel.

Elric belatedly realized that what they were saying was completely different.

“Do you think I understand that even if I die in the inner world, I can be resurrected at any time?”

“Then you know?”

Death in the inner world is clearly not real death.

This is because the body does not die.

But that didn’t mean things were just going to be stable.

In the end, the experience of death inevitably causes enormous damage to the soul.

If such damage accumulates, the soul becomes endangered.

Even if it wasn’t, the death that Hargan planned and gave was on a different level from ordinary death.

It could have easily led to a mental breakdown.

So what happens after that?

I will end up in a vegetative state.

Although bodily functions may remain, you will become brain dead.

Hargan warned about this very thing.

but.

“no. Really I understand. “I don’t even know how dangerous something you’re trying to do now.”

“… .”

Elric already understood what Hargan meant.

And I was even determined.

Hargan seemed to want to advise him to think again.

No matter how obnoxious Elric was, he was the descendant of lovers.

But as I looked into those eyes, those words didn’t come out quickly.

‘… Arceus.’

Because my lover’s eyes were exactly like that.

Arceus was a person who was infinitely kind to her, but there were times when even she couldn’t stop him.

It was time to show those eyes.

Eyes that have firmly decided something.

“If that’s the case.”

In the end, Hargan decided to respect Elric’s choice.

What if I really die?

It could have been an end to Mervinger’s long history.

I guess I was prepared enough for something like that.

The result was entirely Mervinger’s responsibility.

Hargan lowered his posture with a cold expression. The scythe in her hand clanged.

“Then make sure you learn… !”

The moment Elric opens his mouth.

Paaaaat-

Hargan jumped out of his seat and closed the distance at incredible speed.

Sigh!

And when I came to my senses. Elric was stretched out, looking at the sky.

Before she could finish speaking, she was out of breath.

“… ?”

Elric unconsciously placed his hand on his neck.

No matter how inner you are, you will feel pain. However, it was cut so cleanly that it only felt like something had been missed.

It was then that Hargan raised her head into his field of vision.

The one eye sticking out of the bandage was brighter than ever.

“Brother. You have to get up quickly, right? “Is there still much work to be done?”

She grabbed Elric by the collar and helped him stand up.

“You’re giving me multiple chances to kill damn Mervinger. “I can’t miss this opportunity.”

“… .”

It was after two more deaths that I realized something was wrong.
