Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 213: Old Magic

"... Was it too late"

It was Lulu who crushed so when he saw the object standing in front of him.

What was there was an object that was Goliath earlier.

No, we're still keeping the "prototype" in a way, but we can no longer call it Goliath.

The first on the short corner was the giant Goliath, who was its hallmark, but now he is no longer like that.

It is a man-shaped thing wrapped in a variety of red and black things, and it shines with a beating tempo from the inside out.

Moreover, towards him, a viscous stringed object is stretching from every position on the battlefield, and it is absorbed by sticking to what was Goliath.

If we follow its fundamentals, we can see that each one leads to the human shapes on this battlefield, and when the strings stretching from them stick to Goliath, they gradually become smaller in volume as time passes, and at the end of the day disappear without a trace.

"All human shapes, melted and stuck...?

Everyone on the battlefield saw the sight and thought so, not just the crushed lululu.

I don't understand exactly what's going on, but it's obvious that this situation is created by some sort of sorcery.

It was clear to anyone that leaving it like this would not make things better.

I guess that's why.

The adventurers on the battlefield took the initiative to break its fundamentals, waving their swords toward the human form on the way to being absorbed into existence.

It was an action based on the ultimate simple reasoning that if we defeated it at least, the phenomenon would cease to be said to be part of it, and it was undoubtedly a more likely way than going directly to the red and black giants.

But things weren't that easy, and things went in the direction they didn't want.

He waved his sword, and the moment the sword hit the human form, the human shapes burst.

If that's all, it could still have been what I imagined.

But the fragments of the ruptured mannequin then turned into fluids and began to crawl around the ground, and melted and rotted the skin of those who touched it.

"Ugh!!

The scream I said sounded all over there.

Immediately healing magicians gather around the wounded to perform healing magic,

"Ki, it doesn't work......!?

It doesn't seem to be very effective, at best, but only to such an extent as to slow the progression.

The moment it turned out to be, the battlefield turned into hell.

"Damn...... what will you do at the end......!

There's nothing Lulu can do about shouting like that.

That's a good thing, but it brings boundaries to those who flee the humanoid fragments that crawl around them, but it's not enough to keep them safe.

"Do we have to crush him..."

It was obvious that that was the only way in the first place.

I don't really want to stand out, because there is, and Goliath wanted to leave it to the adventurers and knights, but I can't even say that any more.

Fortunately, my body is recovering as well.

One more blow or so would also be able to fire a magic cannon.

And it was fast after the decision.

Lulu develops loud magic and screams to be heard across the battlefield.

"Everybody, get down now. Whoa!

At the same time I started knitting magic.

Complex magic formations unfold around Lulu.

The magicians on the battlefield perceive that it possesses terrible power that is structured in an unplanar, three-dimensional, but also double-triple-encircled way, lying on the ground frightened.

That's dangerous.

I'm just sorry if I got close to that.

I figured that out with instinct, not reason. Maybe I can say they're pretty good.

Without that much magic sensing power, warriors who only use magic to strengthen their bodies leaned their necks at their fellow magicians, who began to lie down in a hurry, rather so much so that they admired it as something of artistic beauty that unfolded around Lulu.

But I panicked and lay down on the ground leaning my neck against the much desperation of screaming as the magicians lay low by grabbing their clothes that frightened me like that.

From then on, you can say that it was a lifelong event in their memory.

Neither the sorcerers seemed to be able to hide Lulu's interest in the magic he unleashed, even though he was frightened, staring at Lulu's without blinking to burn it in his eyes as he turned only towards Lulu, almost sliding his face down to the ground.

I didn't intend to miss one of the magic formations.

However, while the creation of the magic formation itself is further, it will be perceived from the way the magic is passed and the way the amount of magic used is so immense in the first place, and even from the space surrounding Lulu where Lulu's skill in handling magic makes a splash of sparks and lightning strikes, that it is impossible to reproduce that one.

However, I still couldn't stop my instinct to see it as a magician.

The magicians on the spot clearly listened to Lulu's chant.

"'Follow the old covenant and eat up all that is before me... the rampant bird (Gras Awis)'"

The magicians marvel at the chant.

That was because it was one of the old sorceries, called ancient contract sorcery.

Ancient contractual witchcraft, it is one of the lost witchcraft that is said to have linked the existence of different worlds to the species themselves and promised to help them when they needed it, when they were far more powerful than they are today.

It is fundamentally different from individual contract witchcraft with common demons and spirits. It is said that it requires immense magic and race-specific magic to use.

If you are a human race (human), although forbidden, necromancy and so on are typical that everyone is said to be able to use as long as they know the power and how to do it, in this case, there was someone who made a pact between the human race and the necromancy in ancient times.

But now, I wonder what the hell kind of magic Lulu is trying to use.

It is not necromancy.

It is also different from some other existential ethnic (human) specific ancient contract magic.

If you look at what you're trying to summon, you may understand...

Looking at it like that, there was a change in the magic formation around Lulu.

As ripples spread across the water, each of Lulu's magic formations swayed, and from there, the next moment, a large number of floating objects popped up.

"Is that... a bird?

Someone snapped like that.

With a high sound, it popped out of Lulu's magic formation, which is a full-body lacquered black bird.

Its size, however, is as huge as each person's back length.

It sweeps out in large quantities and spreads to the battlefield.

No matter how much I said I lay on the ground, needless to say I was horrible.

The bird, which covers everything above the battlefield, dyes the sky black like a cloudy sky once.

And as if the time had stopped, he made glossy black appear in the sky as anointed with paint.

All those on the battlefield who looked up at it felt their skin poppy.

I felt like I was looking at something I shouldn't.

In a massive amount of black, I could see the light shining red.

Everyone was convinced that those were eyes.

And those red eyes, they stare to lick the whole battlefield.

Everyone on the spot figured out that watching everything there was.

It's disgusting.

Something, like being licked by a rough feeling tongue, made my physiological aversion run to my skin.

"WHAT... WHAT IS THIS... THAT BOY IS REALLY OUR..."

... Are you on my side?

Few words went that far.

But what you shouldn't say is, if you think about it a little bit, you'll see.

Without him, perhaps the Final warriors would have been much more disadvantaged and forced into a tough battle than they are now.

Besides, if you look around you, you'll see.

At some point there will be a bond around all the Final Warriors on the battlefield.

Perhaps the magicians understood that it was the boy's work.

How much power do you have?

Concentration continues to build and maintain all that sorcery while doing this while also developing so many concurrent boundaries.

If you are to be forgiven, you can say that it was boiling in the heads of the sorcerers, as much as you want to groan out loud that it was a monster.

But.

Still, I can't get it out of my mouth just because they were feeling thankful for Lulu for the benefactor.

It was just horrible.

Because when I said that, I wondered if the power of that boy could be directed at us.

When that happens, who the hell can stop him?

Yourself?

No, that's impossible.

As much as I do that, I still feel like I have a better chance of survival if I jump naked consistently into a group of ghosts (orgs).

Besides, I'm sure he's dying.

If you're hostile to that boy, you feel like even death is going to be tainted by some horrible darkness, and now you do.

So, adventurers and knights, there was only one thing they could do on the spot.

"... God..."

Yes, I don't even know if I'm there, I could only pray from the bottom of my heart for an invisible being.

Whether the wish made sense.

Lulu's myriad emerged pitch-black giant birds finished their observations from high altitude and began descending.

Please don't touch those who wished they wouldn't attack you, but rather jump on the fragments of the people-shaped people crawling around in disgust as they drift around them.

It was its presence that immediately dissolved and corroded again once the final warriors touched it, but it seemed as if it had nothing to do with the pitchblackbirds, opening their long, dark colored mouths and being fed into its belly in the next moment when they showed the red in it.

Everyone who saw the sight looked at it that there would be enough for a bad diet, but it is certainly great to think calmly that those pitchblackbirds are able to handle human-shaped fragments without remembering any itching.

Human-shaped fragments, which take time and gradually diminish.

And if you look up again, it seems that the red and black giants that the human-shaped fragments were trying to aggregate were also trapped by hundreds or thousands of pitchblackbirds, and are trying to escape in a rampage.

All the lacquered blackbirds are smashing and eating away some of the giants, slowly decreasing their volume.

And the giant grows smaller and smaller, and its feet are hurt so much that they cannot support their own weight, that they fall out of balance.

Those who lay low around the giant were abased, and those who watched them were not concerned, but Lulu's care seemed perfect, and those who were in such a position as to be the underside of the giant were carried far from each other by the kingdom.

From then on everything cleans up at a lying rate.

After a while, the giants, swarmed by the pitchblackbirds, were devoured without a trace, and fell into their bellies without the fragments or traces of the mannequins that were spreading throughout the battlefield.

The only thing that remains is the disastrous surface that was melted by them and corroded again.

I confirmed that, Lulu,

"... over, dude..."

and nodded in a cold sweat, then withdrew his hand in a way that pulled the strings.

Then it is absorbed by the hemispherical magic formations unfolding around Lulu so that the pitch-black birds that were spreading around are sucked in.

The pitchblackbirds rather didn't seem to want to go back inside the magic formation, moving their feathers to fly away in the opposite direction, but were sucked in more and more as they didn't seem to rival the force of Lulu's power.

It was the magicians who knew more about ancient contract magic that caught my blood when I saw it.

There is basically no limit to who can contract by it, but it is said that there is nothing guaranteed about what follows, even if it can be called into this world.

In other words, if those pitchblackbirds had fallen out of Lulu's control, that would have continued to satisfy their bellies with all that was good for this world without disappearing.

That was them in a hurry to deny in my mind that... but the denial didn't work because the last one of the lacquered blackbirds had burned clearly in my eyes for some reason.

Just before it disappeared into Lulu's magic formation, that lacquered blackbird was turning.

That's because he fell into battle and was the arm of an abandoned people (human).
