Chapter 140 - Episode Fifteen - Magic Beasts Damage (8)
There are too many demonic beasts.
There are only a limited number of ways to reliably aim at the magical beasts alone while avoiding the private army from among them.
I would like to crush the commander, Hamelin, as quickly as possible, but until we can secure our safety, we have no choice but to target the magic beasts.
Then, I would have no choice but to aim at each and every one of them and crush them.
“Carry”
Answering from my spell and the World Tree’s Ortem appears in my arms.
I toss it with both arms and point my wand at the World Tree’s Ortem as it hovers in the air.
“Puppet, dance!”
The World Tree’s Ortem receives the light from the wand.
This is where the real work begins.
It takes a bit of concentration.
I deploy 13 magic circles to cover my surroundings.
I’m sure I could increase it tenfold if I wanted to, but this scale is the limit of how much accuracy I can guarantee to not involve the private army in each shot.
The World Tree’s Ortem glowed, and another thirteen magic circles were deployed.
I’ve built in a magic formula that responds to my actions and deals with magic in the World Tree’s Ortem.
When I activated the World Tree’s Ortem, I activated a part of the magic formula built into it.
This makes it possible for the World Tree’s Ortem to shift the target coordinates of the phenomenon and the phase of the magic power from my magic and re-activate it almost simultaneously.
Of course, the control is quite complicated here, but in the current situation, I can double the number of simultaneous activations of high-precision magic.
This is a technique called double chanting, which was the deepest technique of the Marren tribe a long time ago.
It was often used to exploit an opponent’s gaps and pincer shots, according to the books in the chief’s archives.
Since it was difficult to control, it was more often used for diversionary purposes.
This is what I resurrected on my own since no detailed description has survived.
“Wind, form, blade”
The mouth of the World Tree’s Ortem moves as I cast the spell and he mimics my voice and recites it.
“Wind, form, blade”
White lines flew from a total of twenty-six magic circles and pierced the demonic beasts.
The spear of wind that pierced the magic beast pierced the ground as it was, sending up a splash of sand.
“Gyaaaaah!”
“Guoooh!”
Magic beasts scream from all over the place.
“What, what’s going on!?”
“Don’t think about it now! Slay as many magic beasts as you can!”
The people in the private army seem to be doing a great job.
So far, I haven’t heard that anyone has been hit.
All the magic beasts seemed to be terrified.
“Praise me as the God”
Asura 5000 mercilessly mowed down the magic beasts that had stopped moving.
Its six arms tossed the magical beasts in strips and threw them repeatedly as it rushed forward.
Its appearance was like a fierce general overrunning the enemy camp.
Following that, the members of the private army ran after it, shouting and screaming.
“Looks like we’ll be able to manage……”
The magic beasts have stopped attacking.
With this, we can finally move on to the attack on Hamelin.
“…………”
Hamelin was spinning in a circle and surfacing into the sky.
He closed his mouth, which was laughing fluently, and moved away at a great rate.
“Wind, carry”
He raises his wand.
A breeze rolls up, and Hamelin’s body is entangled.
“Ah?”
The magically charged wind begins to plummet as it clings to Hamelin.
More and more, it fell down to me.
“Aaaaaaah!”
“flame, form, ball”
With my wand pointed at the falling Hamelin, I deployed six magic circles.
A total of six balls of fire are created and one by one they hit Hamelin.
With each hit, a black haze peels off of Hamelin’s body and disappears into the air.
The spirits that made up the demon were being worn away.
When the sixth one hit, one of Hamelin’s eyeballs ripped open from side to side.
The demon’s scream echoes through the forest.
“Puppet, suck it up!”
I point my wand at World Tree’s Ortem.
The World Tree’s Ortem’s mouth is opened wide.
Hamelin is swallowed up into it.
Several black arm-like things grow out of its mouth.
Perhaps it’s trying to escape from his mouth.
World Tree’s Ortem’s mouth closes mercilessly and the outstretched arms are bitten off.
The arm, which had lost its master, disappeared as it mixed with the air.
For a while, something shook like a riot in the World Tree’s Ortem, but soon it grew quiet.
As soon as Hamelin disappeared, the magic beasts scattered and fled as if they had sensed something.
Led by Asura 5,000, the members of the private army chased after the fleeing monsters.
“Don’t be frightened! We’ve got a God on our side, uoooooh!”
“Uooooooooooh!”
…… they’re probably in a state of excessive excitement due to fear and confusion.
The unit members left behind after being injured were staring at their backs with cold eyes.
“Hah, hah…… as I thought, Abel is as good as it gets.”
Mea sits down against a nearby tree while holding an arrow.
Mea’s arms seem to be quite tired from shooting arrows in succession as well.
Maybe it’s more of a mental fatigue though.
“Abel had to shoot that much magic and not get burned…… What a ridiculous demon. Was he that sturdy?”
“Hmm? No, I just wanted to weaken it just enough to make that adjustment.”
“What?”
I pick up the World Tree’s Ortem, and pat him on the head.
“It’s a rare demon, it’s too wasteful to defeat it. There’s a lot we don’t know about Hamelin yet, and it’s worth the research. I shot a few of them because I wanted to weaken them without annihilating the main body and also stripping them of their spirits for good.”
“Isn’t it a weakness-like part that you found!?”
“No, it’s not. And Hamelin itself is essentially an indefinite demon.”
“It was screaming, wasn’t it!? Mea heard that, you know!?”
If I feed it with my magic power appropriately, it should be fine.
I don’t want it to get too powerful and uncontrollable, so I’ll have to fine-tune it.
It’s a problem for me if the World Tree’s Ortem were occupied.
I’ll just shove it in another container…… or an appropriate bottle.
As I was caressing the World Tree’s Ortem, I was thinking about what name to give it.
