Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 88

Episode 88

A wolf

『This is bullshit. It’s so shit.』

Mephisto shook his head as he watched the sight disappear behind the carriage.

『What on earth is so good about this guy that everyone is making such a fuss, Won.』

[I must be so good. Would you say that this is the type of talent that everyone covets? So I’m a bit tired.]

Mephisto looked at Elric’s shameless face as he answered shamelessly, but Elric didn’t care at all.

『Are you using the full tone again?』

[Isn’t it a bit disgusting to look into each other’s inner thoughts?]

『In this part, we are of the same mind.』

[So, let’s just keep going like this.]

When the pairing was first formed, Elric and Mephisto had a really hard time.

Even if you think about something random, the other person will notice it like a ghost.

Fortunately, we have both become somewhat accustomed to it now and can adjust the pairing.

It seemed like there would be no intention of opening this for a while.

『Do you think it would be of more help than that?』

[well. I don’t really know that.]

Elric answered while scratching the back of his head.

In fact, the reason why the conversation with King Velence and Herman lasted so long was because it sparked a passion for learning about a field I didn’t know about for the first time in a while.

Rather, I was wondering if there was anything that could be of some help in dealing with the seal of original sin.

After absorbing the baby demon. Elric was able to succeed in getting ‘one step closer’ to the seal of original sin, which had seemed far away until now.

It was still the same as if I was in a fog, unable to make out any shapes or features, but there was still something that caught my fingertips.

So, if you try to pull it even a little bit… .

‘My body was having seizures, quite a bit.’

I don’t know what kind of magic he was trying to use, but not only did he use up all of his dissolved magic power, it was enough to strain his body’s strength.

The mana rods almost got twisted all at once.

It’s a shame that Elric has been on alert due to his arrhythmia, otherwise something really big might have happened.

So, from then on, Elric tried to avoid touching the seal of original sin, even if by mistake.

But that doesn’t mean we can just leave it alone.

Intense curiosity and inquisitiveness were like occupational diseases of wizards.

While Elric was thinking about another way to access the Seal of Original Sin, his mind fell on steel body magic.

Could it be that the vessel called the body is not yet strong enough to accept the seal of original sin? Because I had that thought.

[But aren’t you really going to explain why such a phenomenon occurs?]

“okay.”

[Tap dance?]

“joy! I don’t know how long they’ll keep making threats like that, but if you can’t teach me, then there’s no point.』

Mephisto snorted and jerked his head to the side.

Elric quietly looked at the back of Mephisto’s head with disgust, but he said that if you want to try it, give it a try.

[Even Mephie doesn’t know.]

flinch!

At that moment, Mephisto’s shoulders shook.

[That’s right. What I don’t know.]

Trench, flinch!

『W-I don’t know what you’re talking about! There is no way in this world that King Bon, who was called the Great Demon King of Great Demon Kings, does not know… !』

[Now that I think about it, I didn’t even know what the sub-genealogy of original sin was, right? He didn’t even know that this little demon was under him. Then we may not know the cause. What do you know?]

『That’s not it!』

[No, shit.]

This time Elric snorted.

[Anyway, I will continue to train my body, but if I still lack the ‘qualifications’ to control seals, I will have to continue collecting similar seals.]

Elric recalled the place where Prime Minister Norus first met the baby demon.

[Demon beast… .]

Chancellor Norus had already heard about the location of the demon beast.

The problem is that it is located too deep in the black snowfield.

『The black snow field is made up of nine levels (nine heavens), and the place where the demonic tree grows corresponds to the third level (three heavens). But you want to go there?』

If you want to get away, go for it. But before that, let me go and let me go. Mephisto was saying that.

Elric knew that it would still be difficult to reach 3000 with his skills, so he couldn’t reply.

Even in 10 million, which is the outer area where the beast people live, it’s a difficult situation because of General Dong and everything, and I couldn’t even guess how crazy the difficulty was there.

It is said that Prime Minister Norus also had a difficult time with several fighters at the time.

Kikiki kick. I think I’d be much better off than that useless thing. Don’t you think so?

At that time, the seal of the evil star stirred and the thoughts of Demon King Hyul said something.

‘shut up. No matter what, it’s not you.’

Too bad… . But think about it carefully. Unlike that, I will always be faithful to you.

It felt like Hyul’s thoughts had become more talkative after the seal evolved.

Although I never accepted it.

‘Anyway, it’s this guy and that guy, and I haven’t found one I like among demons.’

Elric was lost in thought for a moment, wondering what to do with these pieces of luggage.

* * *

“I will learn.”

After much coordination(?) of opinions.

What Hermann and Augustine faced, respectively, were cheers and frustration.

“Hehehe! okay. Well thought out. “When doing mathematics, focusing one’s learning in one direction can lead to a wrong way of thinking, so it is an attitude that a mathematician must avoid!”

“because! You still have a lot to learn from this old man and Gility! “What are you touching again?”

“That is correct! “I haven’t taught you anything other than Hwanan!”

Giliti felt the same way as Augustine today.

but.

“I want to learn.”

With one word from Elric, we both sank.

“The basis of Gangcheism is ultimately martial arts. “Then, I thought I needed to deepen my foundation in martial arts in order to learn it more clearly.”

“… .”

“… .”

What can I say in response to you saying that?

“Due to the nature of my family, we will continue to wage war against demons, so I thought it would be better to know various attack methods.”

For a moment, Augustine felt a sense of crisis.

‘no! If things continue like this, I might lose my student to others!’

When Augustine first forced Elric to become his disciple, he did say that it was okay to put Mervinger’s duties first.

But that doesn’t mean that Deer Nokya should be pushed to 3rd or 4th place!

In the first place, he never thought that he would be able to monopolize Elric, but the teacher wanted to keep him as his own for as long as possible.

‘There was already a lot of talk that even the old people in the senate or the guesthouse were showing interest, so why are they even talking about kittens now?’

‘Kitten’ was a slang term that senior wizards often used to disparage the various lions of the Lion House.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll forget my duty. “I am a wizard, and I will only use martial arts as a means of assistance.”

At Elric’s words, Augustine’s expression relaxed a little.

Hermann nodded as if it was obvious.

‘No matter what, it’s important to take the first step. ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.’

In any case, Hermann did not think that he would be able to completely draw the Mervinger family head into the world of martial arts.

However, if you can follow the plan you have in your head and develop him into a proper talent worthy of taking over the position of Blue Lion.

and.

‘If only I could go further and aim for the top.’

At the moment when her true feelings were revealed, which she was still a daughter and could not tell even to her sworn brothers, Lee Chae appeared above her two pupils and then disappeared.

“I originally promised you something, so would it be okay if I seek to learn while receiving treatment?”

“Let it be so. No, I think that would be better. “If you look at your body directly and continue to observe changes, it will be much easier to understand.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Elric lowered his head.

Whether it was a martial artist or a magician, it was taboo for someone else to touch their body carelessly, no matter how close they were.

Nevertheless, Hermann is willing to use his body as an experiment tool, so I can’t help but be thankful.

But Hermann shook his head.

“What are you talking about? “In fact, I should be grateful to you for not only opening a new path for me who was dying, but also for saving my daughter from danger.”

Hermann nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Isabelle with a faint smile next to him.

While Elric was feeling fortunate, he suddenly became curious and asked Hermann and Augustin.

“By the way, what was the agreement between you two? “I think the fight ended rather quickly.”

Augustine crossed his arms and snorted.

Hermann burst out laughing.

“Hehehe! Of course, I got beaten up a lot.”

Anyone who sees it will think I won.

“But the old monster was holding on to his pants.”

I felt like I could see what he would have done, so I didn’t ask any deeper questions.

And from then on.

Elric began listening to basic lectures on martial arts from Hermann whenever he had time.

“You are a wizard. So, if you delve deeply into one sport such as swordsmanship or martial arts, there is a high possibility that you will end up with nothing.”

“Then what should I do?”

“I think it would be good to experience a variety of things, even if it is a little shallow.”

He said he would teach him various military techniques.

His eyes lit up because it was something he had hoped for as an Elric, and Herman smiled in satisfaction when he saw that.

“The look in your eyes is already different. Fortunately, my six brothers, including me, each have different weapons and pursue different goals. Therefore, I will be able to show you various angles, so it will be of some help to you.”

Hermann finished his explanation and began to lightly warm up.

“Okay then, shall we get started?”

Patter, patter!

The moment everything is ready.

Whoa!

The air surrounding Hermann changed drastically.

It was heavy and big.

‘So this is a lion?’

Elric’s eyes brightened.

Hermann hadn’t even picked up his sword yet. He didn’t even make any particular motion (basic stance), but he had to feel the pressure of a huge beast lying down and quietly watching him.

I heard that martial arts practitioners consider suppressing the baseline to be the most important.

When I experienced it myself, it took my breath away.

‘I heard that my body is still not completely healed. How much will it change when things return to normal?’

Sword Master.

When it comes to magicians, they are absolute figures who have reached the 9th circle.

Hermann was a person who had reached the end of martial arts. All Elric could think of was that he had to do his best to learn.

And if you experience a variety of martial arts like this, wouldn’t you be able to open your eyes in a new way about the martial arts?

“What do you think the weapon is?”

“Fighting on my behalf… equipment?”

“That’s right. It’s a tool. To be exact, it is a tool used to fight and win, to win more easily. Others may say that there is Tao in it, but at least in my view, weapons are just tools. So what would be the best weapon?”

Elric was lost in thought for a moment.

“Shouldn’t it be sharp?”

“Can we continue to sharpen our swords on a battlefield where battles take place day after day?”

“So hard?”

“What if it breaks? What if you accidentally lose your weapon? “You have to pick up anything that falls on the ground and fight.”

Elric realized that he had thought too easily.

Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.

“It should be comfortable.”

Hermann nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right. It should be easy to use. Just as you can freely use your hands and feet without being conscious of it, being able to use weapons like that is the best. “A weapon is an extension of the hand.”

Herman threw the wooden sword he had happily carved all night to Elric.

“Now then, let’s try to lengthen your hands from now on.”

“What should I do first?”

Elric took it lightly, but then got scared.

“Like I said, you should learn from the basics. “Slash it 100,000 times.”

“… yes?”

“Hang down 100,000 times. Of course, you shouldn’t use magical power, right?”

“… !”

“haha. Let’s start with the basics. “From the basics.”

Only then did I remember Elric. Although Hermann is famous for his chivalry, he was actually their older brother!

『Pahahaha! okay! There is no way a normal person can be compared to someone who has been twisted by you!』

Mephisto’s cries of joy and death only sounded disgusting.
