Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 88: The Demon King's Hall
The figure of the Seyyas, who were in Dacrya II District, was now in the mountains.
This mountain is situated near Dacrea II, not so high altitude, but the road is uneven and steep. The Seyyas were aiming for the House of the Demon King beyond this mountain in order to rescue Mocha alone.
The time is now about 10 a.m., about an hour after the Saiyas left the city. I have traveled quite a distance because I am flying a demonic horse, but I still don't see the Demon King's Hall.
All that's around is inorganic rock skin.
Serena and the student council were thinking about something as they flew their demonic horses.
That was earlier about the magic that Gris Phone used: 'Dark Waves'. Serena and I didn't know about the magic of 'Dark Waves' or anything else, but we've seen something similar.
That is an unidentified move that Seyya used on the adventurers who were trying to activate magic in the Alliance.
That's when Seyya just rang her finger, and the magic that the adventurers instantly tried to activate disappeared without a trace. The sight is very similar to the sight of Serena's magic bullet being erased by Gris Phone.
Serena was remembering another event at this time. When Saiya and I acted together to gather information about Mocha, Saiya erased the suspicious man's left ear.
Even then, when Seyya just rang her fingers, the man's left ear was wiped out, and besides, she had the man's left ear repaired.
The behavior of the man when he erased his left ear is also similar to the sight of Seyya erasing the magic of the adventurers. A hypothesis arises that is in Serena.
I wonder if the magic of 'The Dark Wave' is a magic that can extinguish the subject.
At the end of the day when I thought so, Serena couldn't help but listen.
Next to Seyya running the lead, put on your own demonic horse and ask Seyya. Seiya suddenly asked what happened to Serena, who came next to her.
"What's up?
"Hey, what's 'Dark Wave'?
Seyya's expression only solidifies for a moment. But in the next moment, he became the kind of face that decided something, and began to slow down the demonic horse.
Following Seiya, who slowed down the demonic horse, everyone slows down the demonic horse and stops. Saiya jumped off a demonic horse as she said to give it a break.
Seeing Seiya, Yua and Lily get off the demonic horse, too.
Seyya sits nearby in the open, prompting everyone to sit down. Seyya gives a hesitant look for a moment, but given the demon king's hall she's about to go to, there's no way she won't talk.
Seyya got ready and started talking.
"Thinking about the destination we're going to, there's something we need to talk about. But what I'm about to say is absolutely useless. If you say that in Leiria, it is Othi who is bound by the Episcopal Church. Be prepared for that."
Sayya says so, quietly speaking out about dark attribute magic.
"In the common sense of the Kingdom of Leiria, there is composite and derived magic, but it basically consists of four attributes: fire, water, wind and light. However, in this country there exists an attribute that is instead of having the magic to say light attributes. That's the dark attribute of" Dark Waves "you guys just saw."
Serena and the others become silent on the word dark attributes. Though I thought maybe, when they actually say it, it interrupts my common sense to understand.
Seiya, who perceived it, demonstrates that the hundred stories are not as good at first sight.
To the big rock that was nearby, Seiya ringing her fingers.
At the next moment, the big rock disappeared without a trace to such an extent that it did not make you feel that there was a presence there.
Serena and the others could not understand what had happened, but instinctively learned fear. If they used this magic without knowing its nature or effect at all... Serena had goosebumps just thinking so.
Seyya continues to explain to Serena and the others like that.
"The Dark Wave is the primary magic of the Dark Class."
Serena and the others are surprised that The Dark Wave is elementary magic. This much magic, advanced magic is not strange in the Kingdom of Leiria. Even so, it is said to be elementary magic, and Serena and the others fight.
"The greatest feature of this magic is that you can discard the chant."
"Discard the chant?
"That's right. Extinguish the existence of chanting, to be precise. In the magic of dark attributes there exists something called special effects, just like any other magic"
"Is that what you call extinction?
That's what I heard. In response to such a morna, Seiya continues to explain.
"That's right. And The Dark Wave can extinguish the chant. If, suppose, you encounter a magician who can extinguish the chant, run away immediately. Probably no winner."
"But can you get away with it?
"Well, it'll be tough. But don't worry, there doesn't seem to be any magicians who can use Dark Waves without chanting."
Sayya said as she pondered the grease phone.
Grisphone was the only one who used the Demonic Crystal Stone, but it was possible to activate the 'Dark Wave' without chanting. And the surrounding guests, against the grease phones, stepped back and watched, saying about the grease phones were A-rank adventurers.
From this, you can become an A-rank adventurer if you can use "Dark Waves" unchanging, and A-rank adventurers are rare. That's why Seyya wasn't so afraid.
"If the other person comes using the dark attribute, do you have a way of dealing with it?
It was Serena who heard that. Serena knows more than the other two about the horrors of dark attribute magic. That's why I was wondering what to do.
"Oh, of course it exists. It's the light attribute that's quick. Although Leiria says that there are no attributes that can counteract light attributes, this dark attribute can counteract light attributes.
In other words, the reverse is possible, and light attributes can counteract dark attributes. Even so, we can't do that in your case, so we have to avoid it. "
"Avoid..."
Serena in the cluttered description of Seyya. But Seyya didn't know what to do except avoid it.
"Basically even dark attributes need chanting. So you don't have to be so scared. If the one you use without chanting comes out, let me handle it or run. For once, Yua can fight it."
"Yeah......"
Seiya and the others start moving again, though with a somewhat unconvincing look on their face. And to the end, no one tried to ask, "Why can Seyya use dark attributes?"
Running the demonic horse again for two hours, the Sayers finally captured the Demon King's Hall in sight.
The Demon King's Hall, rather than a hall, is a large tower, the height of which extends beyond the eight-story inn where the Saiyas were staying. The tower, like the one that had been able to assemble the stone, seemed sturdy to see, releasing a sense of intimidation.
Okay, let's go.
"What?"
Serena is surprised because Seyya too normally heads to the Demon King's Hall.
Saiya said it was the enemy's home, but she walked out as if she were going to a convenience store around the corner. By the way, demonic horses are bracketed in nearby rocks.
Serena and the others reluctantly arrive as Yua and Lily follow Seiya on such a grand walk.
There are naturally gatekeepers and so on in the Hall of the Demon King, and when the Sayers tried to enter the tower, they were stopped.
"Wait, who is it?
The gatekeeper had four men. All four of them are armed and can be seen as quite a habit. But it had nothing to do with Seyya.
"I need to talk to the Lord here for a second. Let me through."
For a moment, the gatekeepers' eyes dot Seiya, who calls about the Demon King with a great sense of friendship, but soon began to intimidate her convinced that it was a lie.
A boy about Seyya in the first place is just a suspicious man because there's no way he's friends with the Demon King. The gatekeepers pulled out the sword that was resting on their hips, and stood against the Seyyas.
"I'll only advise you once. Honestly, I won't kill you."
To Seyya's spare attitude, the gatekeepers are angry, and Seyya slashes them with a sword.
"Don't be ridiculous!
"You're the one who's gonna kill me."
"Be prepared."
"Die!"
Pattin
The moment Seyya rang her fingers at the gatekeepers, the gatekeepers' presence disappeared from the world.
To be precise, every flesh was extinguished by Seyya.
Serena and the others don't understand what happened in the beginning because Seyya kills people too easily. But gradually, when he understands that Seyya killed the gatekeepers, he asks about Seyya.
"Why did you kill him?
"Isn't it too much?
"Terrible"
For the first time, people were killed in front of me. The three of them could not accept the fact. If, while Seyya struggled, she killed him, she wouldn't blame him so much.
But Seyya killed people easily.
But of course Seyya has a say.
"What are you saying? This is a fight. If this one gets out of hand, the enemy could kill him. This is not like school practice. They're willing to kill us, too. We should be ready to kill this one too."
Seyya is right.
Youre and Lily went through a death fight in the dark realm, so I can understand what Seiya is saying.
But Serena and the others don't have that experience. I haven't had a taste of Setouchi, living or dying, since Seyya almost solved the problem after coming to the Dark Realm.
So I couldn't easily admit what Saiya was saying.
In fact, Seyya has been afraid of this since she left.
Killing a person is not like killing a warcraft. It's essentially the same thing, but whether the other person is human or not creates hesitation. And that moment of hesitation sometimes divides life and death.
So Saiya says again here.
"This is a kind of war. It's impossible for everyone to survive and in order to protect what they want to protect, they need to be prepared to take something from them. Even if it's life."
Three people who can't give anything back to Saiya's words.
"We can still make it now. Go home if you're not prepared to kill him. It's just more dangerous."
With that said, Seyya heads into the tower. And soon Yua and Lily will get there.
Serena and the others see each other's faces, but the answer was decided. We've come this far to help Mocha. It exists if you're ready.
The three continued after Sayyah and went into the tower.
