Kuro no Maou
Episode 145: Element Master VS Eighth Apostle (2)
"Now, I have to figure out a way to defeat that ridiculous messenger in an hour. Wake up, can you come up with anything?
It was a dialogue I said in a half-throat mood.
"Yes, there is only one way"
Other than that, the proposal, which seemed impracticable, was put forward lightly.
It was Fiona who raised her hand.
"Is that true?
"Absolutely not, because there are prerequisites"
"Talk to me."
To be honest, for me, who couldn't come up with a way but to compete head-on, I don't have a hand in not asking if there's a slight chance I could defeat him.
I encouraged Fiona to talk with the thought of straw.
"They say that some apostles dare to seal their magic in order to conceal their own identity.
The Eighth Apostle Eye is one of the missing apostles we have spoken about before. "
Speaking of which, I thought there was an apostle who worked in the Mido Huangmen activities, but I didn't know Sole was that girl.
"But you know very well, isn't that something you don't understand?
"It is a famous story in the Republic that the Eighth Apostle operates in an unknown manner, so instead, his appearance and abilities are unknown."
I see. Was it wacky that only visibility was outstanding?
"If he's hiding who he is, he's likely to be sealing his magic."
"Exactly.
And if you are using magic devices (magic items) and sealers to seal magic, you should be able to interfere with the sole and obstruct the unsealing. "
"I see, a weakened apostle can defeat the three of us, but -"
But the question is, does Eye really have a magic seal?
I fought with Sariel twice, but neither of them could confirm items like that.
Even if that prerequisite can be fulfilled, the question also remains as to whether the sealer can be interfered with so easily.
At least, I'm not familiar with magic technology in the other world, and I can only handle black magic.
"Hey, Fiona."
It was Lily who raised her voice next to mine that bothered my head.
I should have already gone back to being a toddler, but I could understand instantly when I heard this clear tone that I must have regained adult consciousness.
"Are there many types of magic devices (magic items) available in the Republic?
"No, things like that that permanently restrict people's abilities aren't so varied, are they?
It's quite expensive, and more importantly, it's a kind of forbidden treatment because it's restricted by the church. "
"Yes, then the sealer that the Apostle is wearing..."
Lily took a familiar white ring out of it when she activated her spatial magic (dimension) with a small magic formation of light in the hollow.
"- It's very likely that you have the same structure as this one."
"Become, it is!
At Lily's little fingertips, glancing at the ring, seven needles popped inward with a tall sound.
"Yes, that experiment was wearing a thought control device."
As he glanced through the ring again, the needle was housed inward.
……
To be honest, this jokingly named 'Thought Controller (Ensel Ring)' is a symbol of an abominable constraint to see as well.
I don't feel good watching.
But I can understand what Lily has brought up here.
"If it's the same structure as the sole, do you mean you might be able to interfere successfully?
Apparently, The Thought Controller (Ensel Ring) also has the ability to seal magic.
It wasn't there when I was wearing this guy, no, I just didn't use it, either way. Although there's no real experience with magic seals, I'm pretty sure Cyprus used this feature in the disguise of the experimental body that it was taking with it.
"That kind of cot, I need another different kind of 'intercommunication jamming (mindjammer)' than I just jammed experimental troop telepathy, but I think I can probably do it"
"Mr. Lily might be able to do that."
Apparently, the possibility has emerged that a sealing operation could be carried out.
"The biggest problem is if you're really wearing a sealer.
I'm pretty sure he's obviously fighting back, but maybe he's just trying to keep it down himself. "
"Right, and if you want to interfere directly with the sealer, you also need to identify where the sole is equipped."
Fiona said that interfering with the telepathy of the experimental unit should 'interfere with the communication (mind-jammer)' in the space itself, but in the case of sealer interference, must interfere (jammer) with the sole itself at a pinpoint?
The former would be the image of jamming phones and radios with jamming waves in modern times, and the latter would be the image of hacking or cracking into computers over the Internet.
"Neither is a problem, because I can explore it telepathically"
"Can you do that? If you're an apostle, aren't you about to take telepathic measures?
I don't know much more about psychosensitivity (telepathy) than I can use myself either.
However, telepathy is by no means omnipotent, to the extent that there are also magic with effects such as' mental barriers (mind protection) 'that prevent them from being explored in the mind, or counterattacks (counters) and reflections (reflexes) that attack the interfering opponent in reverse.
"It's okay, Sariel had so much 'hardening' in the bee that there was no peek gap, but he was pretty yul in his head, and his superficial emotions and thoughts were at a level that he could read without any problems"
Apparently it's going to be okay, rather than Lily ever set up telepathy on Sariel as well?
Maybe I'll ask you more next time...
"Okay, so let's go with this operation, I'll ask you once, do you have any ideas you can deal with if you didn't seal it?
"Let's all hang in there then"
"Lily hangs in there, too!
"Okay, let's go positive when we can't.
And Lily, pretending to be a kid doesn't mean I can't mislead my eyes. "
Lily, who just dyed her cheeks a little and looked embarrassed, was still adorable.
No, not if you love Lily now, you have to seriously think about a sealing operation.
"It's in a sealed state, but the other person is an apostle, and I think to a first-class magician, there is magic and magic exercised.
Even if you succeed in sealing it, it won't be sweet enough to defeat it intact. "
"Right, and I didn't know how to overshadow the seal if I prolong the fight, if I could do it in a short time... right, I want to aim for a rush timing when I realize I can't unseal it -"
In the end, our conceived operation succeeded.
After all, the eye fights from the outset with a reduced hand, and whether the force is limited by the sealer,
"That's what you're saying. You're still working on it, aren't you?
It was enough for Lily to put it on the head of the eye, but it reached critical, I checked at that moment.
(Found, two sealers, silver hair fastening)
Eye would have instantaneously imagined a sealer in Lily's casual inquiry that it was being moderated.
That's a level Lily can clearly read, and Eye has evoked.
Now the first condition of "Eye is using a sealer" is cleared.
(- It's okay, it's almost the same structure as the ring, it can jam (jammer)!
And can you jam the sealer? The second condition was also fulfilled that
Give me this far and we'll just move as we should.
Eye stopping is my role, Todome's blow is Fiona's.
To shoot "The Golden Sun (All Soleil)," Fiona decided not to actively participate in the attack, but only to support it by fortified magic.
Most importantly, that alone worked great, I am surprised that my blade will be strengthened enough to reach the Apostle.
And as a result, I let Eye make the choice to unseal us one more step and fight.
Now,
"... there is? Unseal (Unlocked)! Unseal (Unlocked)!
As I read, a deadly gap was created.
"- 'Interference (Mindjammer)'!?
Apparently I noticed the cause right away, but still slow.
"You can't let him get away, can you, fool?
"Gotcha."
And to this day I finally restrained my eye body with a 'shadow tentacle (anchor hand)'.
"Now, do it! Fiona!"
Come on, now we're stuffed, Eighth Apostle!
As Lily covered my body in the dazzling light of the fairy junction (Oracle Field) that Lily put on me, I saw a giant fireball looming from over my head.
"Eh, hey."
An eye that opens its eyes in amazement, and still tries to get out of my custody.
But I guess I'm in a sealed state and can't power enough to shake off my tentacles, it just twists itself as if I caught a really powerless girl, and my black tentacles don't even freak out.
That's good, keep it up, 'The Golden Sun (All Soleil)' should be loaded in less than five seconds and will bring everything back to ashes.
Naturally, I'm not unharmed either, I'm also anxious to see if I can really survive, but I'm sorry to have to deal with him.
I am aware that the restraint of the Shadow Tentacle (Anchor Hand) will fall, and at the same time narrow it to its original wire shape, while starting to retract at full speed from the standing position of the eye, which is the point of landing.
You have about three seconds left, until then you want to stay about fifty meters from the blast, it is impossible to survive 100% at a point of four meters on the boulder.
Running, running, just straight without turning around, I don't know how much of a distance the hell I could have rushed through, but I keep moving my legs until the last moment, trying to get one step farther.
"-!?
And finally, the golden second sun reaches the ground and explodes.
The blinding flash spreads, even if you are closing your eyes aggressively, you feel a clear, wild and intense glow from behind your eyelids.
That's not all, that light wraps up a tremendous high fever, burning heat all over my body, as if it's about to burn my body out too.
"Hot -"
Perhaps the impact of the explosion is blowing me away as I rotate the universe two or three times, it seems as if the heavens and earth have been turned upside down with no certainty up, down, left or right.
Thanks to the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field) that Lily protected with all her strength, I don't feel the shock of being slapped to the ground - but it also follows, until just a second ago.
The strongest impact damage could have been prevented, but the fairy junction (Oracle Field) was completely extinguished by offsetting it.
"Uh-oh!"
Impact and high heat running across the body, but not so deadly, the means of defense still remain.
That's the "Guardian of Ethereal Flames (Nanablast Amulet)" of the rare magic equipment (magic item) Fiona lent me for defense because I decided to keep the "Golden Sun (All Soleil)" close range.
The effect is a significant reduction of the damage caused by the flames, and Fiona is intact even if she stands within the critical range of the 'Golden Sun (All Soleil)' she shot thanks to this.
However, with boulders only fifty meters away from the heart, it's only a little bit to protect yourself from the enormous amount of heat that comes down on you, and no, the flames go through unbearably well for a normal person.
"Ahhhh -"
You can see the 'Protect the Pale Flame (Nanablast Amulet)' in the inner pocket on the chest of the robe emits a deep blue glow and the power of the heat defense is fully unleashed.
But no, no, no, I'm not going to be able to take any more flames.
Robe's "The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)", which has always protected me, caught fire.
In the fight against Cyprus, a black robe that has already worn out, but with the aftermath of the 'Golden Sun (All Soleil)', the magic is finally about to be exhausted and extinguished.
Until the end, the robe loses color from the hem, turns to ash and disappears, while preventing the heat that burns my body.
If the robe is extinguished, no matter how much flesh is fortified by the modification, I don't think it will withstand this heat.
In other words, my death is confirmed at that moment when The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace) burns out as ash.
Damn, please, good luck, just a little more, just bear with me! Pray wholeheartedly in the heat that afflicts your whole body.
And finally, the devil's embrace was lifted from me.
