Chapter 283 - Episode Thirty - The Great God Kudor (4)
A swarm of Din Eaters sprouted from Kudor’s tentacles and began to approach Peter, making strange noises.
They were moving slowly, as if they were deliberately trying to be obnoxious.
Even in mythology, the Din Eaters have been slaughtering without the orders of their lord, Kudor, and have even eaten Kudor alive.
Their very nature is cruel.
Probably, they don’t do something as simple as just eating them to death.
That’s probably what Kudor meant when he said, “Eat as you wish”.
Kudor’s huge monocular eyes only caught Peter.
The rest of the Din Eaters in the family ignore Me, Me and Myunhi.
It seems from the way Kudor speaks that only Peter is the target of divine punishment for unleashing the God Binding Technique.
The Din Eaters surround Peter.
The ugly mouth that opens vertically on the face drools.
“Hiii, Hyiiiii!”
Peter retreats with a hand motion, his body trembling.
Myunhi paused for a moment in front of Din Eater, but then she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind and jumped in front of Peter.
“I-, I can’t, I can’t die yet!”
Peter flipped over on the spot as he tried to stand up.
He was injured, but his trembling knees seemed to have prevented him from standing up.
“You’ve lived a long time for a human being, haven’t you? I’m over one hundred and twenty years old. That’s not a lot of years for Norcs. Poor old man, dangling from a man-made body, clinging to an old delusion. You may return to the circle of circulation, of souls and spirits.”
Kudor’s voice echoed.
“I, I don’t think it’ll hit, but……”
Myunhi waved her wand.
“Flame, form, spear!”
Two magic circles were deployed.
The flames that emerge form two spears, heading straight for the group of Din Eaters.
The Din Eaters don’t even look at Myunhi.
The spears of flame hit the bodies of the Din Eaters.
The spear’s shape collapses and fire engulfs the Din Eater’s body, but the fire quickly dies out.
It heads towards Peter without breaking his stride in the slightest.
“No, no way ……”
Myunhi is astonished, but of course she is.
The Din Eater boasts durability and physical strength equal to or greater than a dragon in that small body.
You can fire several fire spears at the dragon, but they will have no effect.
The Din Eater dispelled the stunned Myunhi as if it were a bonus.
That was enough to snap the staff in her hand and send her body crashing to the floor with a loud thud.
There was the sound of bones cracking. Myunhi, who had been knocked to the floor, did not get up.
“Myu-, Myunhi-, san ……?”
I-Is she dead ……?
No, it’s weak, but it does have some magic circulating in it.
At this stage, I don’t think she’s in any danger of dying.
“Stop, please stop it! Let me go, let me go!”
The Din Eater who joined Peter crushed the joint of Peter’s shoulder.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts, it hurts!”
The din-eater pushes down on Peter, who twists and writhes, completely disarming him.
“N-No! No! G-God of Lawwww!”
“What’s wrong? Won’t you become the God of Law?”
The other Din Eaters gathered and grasped the joints of Peter’s body with their bizarre arms.
It seems they plan to destroy the joints of both hands and feet first.
Before I could think, the wand moved.
“Wind, form, blade.”
I manipulated the wind with my magic and released eight wind blades, the same number as the Din Eater.
The Din Eater seemed to be unaware of my presence and did not react until it hit them.
However, when they penetrated the surface of they’re body, they hurriedly turned they’re body away and tried to escape from the wind blades.
The Din Eater bounced away from Peter and landed at a distance.
Parts of the Din Eater’s arms and face belatedly dance around the area, dispersing into minute spirits and returning to the atmosphere.
The eerie eyeballs in the four corners of the face glare at me.
“…… Hmm, are you interfering with the divine punishment, Marren?”
After the thirty-two eyeballs of the eight Din Eaters, Kudor’s huge single eye glared at me.
“W-Well, uh …… I-, Isn’t that a bit much ……”
Peter tried to kill me.
But he promised that he would let Mea go.
He ignored the advice of his subordinate, Myunhi, and accepted the fact that she could only work against him without reason.
For me, I couldn’t believe that Peter was such an evil person.
In addition, if …… Peter really is the former Pope Peltaire of the Kudor Church, then he is also an acquaintance of Altamir.
The former Pope Peltaire was said to have been a good man, a bit uptight, but a serious man.
He died forty years ago in a magic beast disaster monster panic caused in a remote area, but it is said that he knew his own mortality just before his death and had finished preparing for his succession and solving troublesome problems.
Perhaps Peltaire’s death was a cover for his transformation into Peter, but if so, it seems a bit sudden.
The image of Peter, who is accustomed to the current use of forbidden magic and betrayal, and that of the serious and mild-mannered Peltaire that Artamia had told me about, also do not overlap too much.
There must have been some kind of opportunity for Peter to abandon his position as Pope and go to extremes.
I turned my attention to Peter.
“Hiii! Hyiiiiiii!”
Breathing hard, Peter crawls on the ground with only one arm, his bleeding shoulder hanging slack.
He rolled to hide behind me.
I slowly turn my head to look behind me.
Peter was sitting in a triangle, shaking and cowering, tears streaming through his mask.
I suddenly remembered the story of the monstrous bird that folds its body to save its life from the eyes of the enemy.
I moved to the left with my big toe.
Peter’s figure is exposed through Kudor.
Peter hurriedly rolled over and moved behind me.
I take a big step back to my original position.
After Peter crawls behind me, he grabs my pants and looks up at me.
“I’m, I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Don’t leave me!”
F-Former, Pope ……?
This is? This thing is?
I knew it was just a mistake.
“Don’t we have an interesting one here. Back off, my servants.”
…… Apparently, Kudor is not too attached to Peter.
It seems that his attention has shifted to me, but fortunately, I do not feel any hostile intentions.
The Din Eaters, who had been in a frenzy after being mutilated by me, shuddered at their Lord’s words.
They didn’t seem to be convinced, but six of the eight backed off.
The two remaining Din Eaters turned their eyes to Lidpr in disapproval.
Instantly, two tentacles extended from Kudor and crushed the two Din Eaters that did not back down.
The sturdy Din Eaters were transformed into the carcasses of frogs that had been hit by cars.
The light of the spirit dissipated, and the mass became smaller.
My spine naturally straightened.
“So you can deploy eight magic circles in parallel. At least in terms of sorcery control, you’re as good as Yohanan. In addition to being able to control up to ten magic circles at the same time, through the use of the “Golden Skull”, he can raise your magic to twenty if the conditions are right.”
The “Golden Skull” ……?
Is it some kind of magic tool or something?
I’ve never heard of it, but if I check the “Great God’s Treasure Book”, I might find something like it
“Hmm, ten ……?”
I’m confident that I can stably deploy up to thirteen simple magic circles in parallel, even under the condition that I maintain a high level of accuracy.
If you use the Marren’s sorcery, multiple chanting and Ortem Call, you can increase the size by up to three times.
“Are you surprised? It’s not hard to see why. The meaning and necessity of sorcery have changed drastically since those days when the fools who call themselves the Four Great Creators were still alive. Even at that time, Yohanan was clearly a substandard sorcerer. “
Kudor said as if he was nostalgic for the past.
What are you talking about, you monocular lump of meat.
I didn’t really understand what he was trying to say, but there was no way I was going to gain anything by upsetting him, so I just nodded and said something.
I was afraid that I might get caught up in the confrontation between Peter and Kudor, but it seemed that I could somehow escape it.
I didn’t want to cause any trouble and invite conflict.
Kudor was indeed a bad idea.
