Storm(5)

The whole world is enveloped in silence.

I slowly got up from the remnants of magical power rising like black mist.

The sky swallowed up by the gate and the battlefield beneath it.

The world where humans and monsters are intertwined is engraved on the retina.

“There are also many things like bugs.”

Thousands of monsters covered the ground.

There are five high-level monsters in the sky, and one big one facing Skadi above them.

Perhaps that big guy is the top-notch demon, ‘Omen’ that Peter mentioned.

“professor···?”

When I turned around, there were three people looking at me with blank faces.

Estelle, Cynthia, and Encia.

The three of them always went together, and it seems that they came together to wake up the glass coffin this time as well.

“You did a good job. Are there any injuries?”

It didn’t look like it at first glance, but Estelle nodded when I asked as a courtesy.

“That… yes.”

“Stay away. Then.”

I turned my gaze to the girl who was standing next to the trio.

A girl with gray hair and eyes resembling Maria.

He said to Maria’s ‘other half’.

“You must have a lot to say.”

“·······.”

“I’ll give you some time to sort this out and have a serious talk.”

“···Okay.”

It was seen that he nodded his head obediently and controlled his immediate desire.

As expected, unlike a beast, self-restraint is excellent.

Perhaps, it was influenced by Maria.

“You help me there. I’ll have work to do soon.”

“·······.”

“answer.”

“···okay.”

I turned my eyes away from her nodding and looked up at the sky.

Five Reapers, who have stopped fighting before they know it, gather around Omen.

Omen was looking down at me with a gaze like a blazing fire.

“The Reaper being prepared.”

A gruff voice echoes through the sky.

“Surely you are resurrected.”

“·······.”

“I am honored to have met the hunter who killed the king of the dragons.

Is it strange to show respect not like a beast?

Skadi, who was confronting him, looked at the two of us at a loss.

While beckoning her to come back, Omen continued.

“I will kill you and offer the head as a sacrifice to my king. It will surely bring me glory and honor.”

A sword made of flames was gripped in his hand.

“I admit that you are a great human being, Shinigami. But you were not supposed to come alone.”

Omen descended to the ground, and the Reapers raised their staffs beside him.

There is tension in people’s eyes.

Some looked at me with eager eyes.

Unfortunately, I can’t deal with all of them alone.

My power is still in the 4th circle, and I have only unlocked the 3rd level of control of the mind.

Half a year was too short to regain all his strength.

It would probably be difficult to overcome them even if all the people here gathered together.

‘If only people gather here.’

Omen speaks to me who does not answer.

“Your people are exhausted, and the sky is still sealed with our ‘Abyss’. You will not be able to overcome this ordeal.”

“Abyssra…”

Abyss.

Perhaps they are the names referring to glass tubes.

Currently, weapons that amplify the power of the Omen, pierce the barrier of Helios and block access from other dimensions.

As Omen said, if there is an Abyss, reinforcements cannot come.

But to put it the other way around.

“That’s what the Abyss are all about.”

“What?”

“”Execute””

In an instant, a demonic storm arose from far away in the sky.

Magi swept through the Abyss stuck in the dimensional wall, overloading the delicate internal structure and burning it up in one fell swoop.

Eventually, along with the abyss that stop working one by one, the sky gradually begins to return to its original form.

“Unfortunately, there are people who deal with demons here too.”

A figure fell from the sky.

A woman with a pair of horns.

Carina Westerlund.

She gave Omen a lively wink.

“You were careless, witch.”

“······!”

Countless lights twinkled beyond the jet-black gate that was in good health.

Just as a star rises over the night sky, the light that crossed the far darkness turned into a meteor and hit the ground.

thump- thump-

Riding a bright beam of light, the ‘reinforcement’ appears.

Roshua and Laflis.

And the military hunters following the two.

Reinforcements arrived one after another and landed on Helios one after another.

It was because now that the Abyss had disappeared, the open summoning gate was playing the role of a gateway.

“The military quickly form ranks! Protect the students and professors!”

“We put top priority on dealing with advanced monsters. Move.”

Hunters and wizards spread out in all directions and began to surround Helios.

Even though they were brought here in a hurry, the number exceeds five hundred.

In addition, each person has a rotating body kit embedded in the artifact.

Thousands of fighting objects were enough to deal with the garage overflowing power.

With their appearance, the battlefield entered a new phase.

Skadi, who watched the scene, was revealing the shock she had received with her eyes round to the point that they could not grow any larger.

“What is this… what is it? How is it…?”

“These are the people that Professor Kang Yoo-jin hastily transported.”

Roshua responded.

“Ha, but the battlefield… what about the front line?”

“He organized everything.”

Laflis pointed at me and said.

“‘Zeffern’ and ‘Selena’, as well as all other dimensions that could draw power, were wiped out.”

“·······.”

I looked back to see if Skadi was real.

“It is true.”

“Huh… I heard you’ll be back, but this is…”

It seemed like a big shock, but it wasn’t really that difficult.

As I said before, it’s just a difference in gender.

On a battlefield where there are no objects higher than the highest level, mind control is no different from the beast’s natural enemy.

“Small talk later. For now, let’s focus on the battlefield.”

I nodded at Roshua’s words and immediately called Karina over.

I stretched out my hand to her who had come to my side, and immediately grabbed the restraints tied around her neck.

“Huh!”

“Stay still.”

“Now, wait a minute… what is this all of a sudden… ughgegegegege!!”

He raised his holy power and tore off the restraints entirely.

Of course, this was something that everyone had discussed with Laniakea before leaving.

There was no problem with getting it out.

“…Is it okay? Can I release that?”

“Fine.”

Consent has already been obtained.

There was nothing wrong with releasing it again.

Of course, assuming this guy doesn’t betray.

“It will be fine.”

So, he quietly stared at Karina and said.

“Isn’t it?”

“·······.”

gulp-

Swallowing dry saliva, she took a step back with trembling eyes.

And then, as if bowing his head.

It was a gesture of obedience that dragons usually show to their superiors.

“Do you think that just one magical beast will help?”

“Of course not to help.”

He said to the approaching Omen.

“Because I’m on the same level as you.”

“What is…?”

Kwaaa!!

Demonic energy surged explosively from Karina, who was released from restraint.

Her eyes glow in the jet-black airflow, and the human body faces a cataclysm.

A huge body the size of Omen and the deep blue scales covering it.

A gigantic dragon, as if the darkness of the deep sea had raised its body, bared its teeth in front of Omen.

“You are… Leviathan…!”

yes.

That is Karina’s true identity.

Carina was something I had guessed from the time the Witchbeast had a name.

Most demons do not have names, so they call themselves by their racial names.

This is because a single object, which is only an accessory, does not need to have a name.

But sometimes, even within such rules, there are witches with their own unique names.

Excluding the king, the highest individual of the tribe, the highest level of witches, is like that.

As human beings, as nobles, each of them earned the right to have their own unique name.

Carina Westerlund.

Her true identity is ‘Leviathan’, the highest-class individual of the Balaur.

I said to the three people who were staring blankly at me.

“The three of you, take the support from the rear.”

“Yes!? You’re saying you’re dealing with all of that by yourself?”

Skadi screamed in fright.

“Yes.”

“It’s too dangerous! I’d rather be with you…!”

“no.”

Skadi shouted, but I shook my head.

She still has the aftermath of stopping Omen alone.

I didn’t have enough energy to fight the superlative again.

“Professor Skadi has endured so far is enough.”

“still···.”

“And I’m not fighting alone.”

A top-notch Demonic Beast is participating in the battle as an ally.

And as long as there is a younger sister named Cynthia, she will do everything in her power to protect this place.

Contrary to Skadi’s concerns, the war situation is already overwhelmingly in our favor.

“You can leave the rest to me.”

“·······.”

Without saying a word, she lowered her head, extended her tail and wrapped her hand around me.

“Don’t overdo it, okay?”

“Yes.”

After repeating his request, Skadi left, followed by a grinning Roshua and expressionless Lafless.

Only then did I turn my head and look at the battlefield where the two monsters confront each other.

“Leviathan. Bowing down to a human, have you lost your pride!”

Omen couldn’t afford it anymore.

I don’t know if it’s a 1:1 ratio, but since the enemy of the highest rank has intervened, it would be strange if it was relaxed.

“I will give the Witchbeast a chance to return one last time. I won’t ask you for the sin of betrayal. Baltazar is a man with a big heart.”

“···huh.”

It was a somewhat benevolent proposal, but Karina snorted.

The dark blue dragon growled, baring its teeth.

“What does he know about dragons?”

The words follow as if laughing.

“The dragons have served the greatest dragon as their king since ancient times. And now, Yujin Kang is the only being who holds everything of the dragons.”

I jumped on her body and landed on top of her head.

It was only then that Omen and I were at eye level.

“He deserves to be crowned king of the Balaur.”

“·······.”

“I’ll make the opposite offer, Omen.”

Leviathan’s huge wings spread out.

“Why don’t you serve him right now?”

“dare···.”

The Balrog holding the fiery sword let out a roar filled with rage.

“Are you mocking me!!”

Reapers grabbed their weapons and rushed at the fury that shook the world.

I rotated the circle’s mana and instructed Karina.

“I’ll link my magic. Get ready.”

“yes.”

The circle of the heart pulsates.

The extended magic signal eventually linked with Karina’s heart, and began to react with the demons gathered in her ‘Dragon Heart’.

“·······.”

A truly gigantic magician.

As befits a top-notch monster, the total amount was different from mine.

The huge gap between magical power and demonic energy was offset by creating holy power.

Synchronizes unbalanced energy by forcibly adjusting it.

Calculation of energy through the three formulas of mana.

And, circle integration of two entities using multi-parameterization of circles.

It received a torrent of energy that was truly gigantic and poured it into control of the mind.

Kwaji Jijik—!!

Step 3. erosion force.

A wave that shreds the minds of the enemy swept over the Reapers, and they fell to the ground clutching their heads.

“Kikiiik!!”

“Keux! Keuek!!”

Those who became the victim from the position of writing screamed in agony.

Being a witch beast doesn’t mean it has high resistance to mental attacks.

Originally, it is a power that does not have a great effect on upper-class people, but it is different now that it has drawn the demonic energy of the Balaur.

The current erosion is amplified enough to swallow even a high-level monster.

“·······.”

I don’t know what kind of illusions my mind is engulfed in, but I don’t know what they are about.

Carina’s huge body stepped forward and trampled the two at once.

“Kang Yujin!!”

The sword of fire rushes towards Karina.

It is unbelievable speed that it came out of a huge body.

Karina’s horns shone and strengthened wings blocked Omen’s sword.

“Be patient.”

After giving brief instructions, it penetrated into the consciousness of humans in Helios.

I found a girl waiting for me in a crowd of people.

As if she had been waiting for me, she accepted my connection without refusal.

“「Building the Sympathetic Nervous System」”

Magical power pulsates and spreads out in all directions.

The network of the sympathetic nervous system originating from the girl began to embrace all of Helios, embracing all humans in existence.

“Listen”

thought. emotion.

Everything becomes one and circulates like a huge river.

Confusion swept over the unfamiliar senses connected to each other, but they drew their attention with a stronger voice.

I started sending them all the information to catch Omen from now on.

Kwaaang!!

Omen, hit by Karina’s tail, falls to the ground.

And to that spot, all the Hunters poured their abilities in perfect order.

A roar erupted, followed by the demon’s scream.

“Kwaaagh!!”

Karina moved in time for the guy to stand up.

Without any verbal instructions, she slapped Omen exactly the way I ‘wanted’ it.

Omen, who had fallen to the floor again, lifted up the demon and spread his wings.

The action read by the search was a ‘wide-area attack’.

It is a storm of mad flames that sweeps the whole area in flames.

I immediately composed a magic formula for preparation.

「Prepare」

Orders were sent to all hunters at once through the nervous system.

Without the slightest delay, all the hunters raised their magic and built a barrier.

“die!!”

The fiery sword struck the ground, and the heat containing its power poured toward Helios.

However, this side has already been prepared.

The defensive magic spread around Karina’s wings wrapped around Helios and blocked the heat.

“how···!”

“There won’t be time to talk.”

Carina’s reinforced claws rush at the panicking guy.

It, wrapped in light, cut Omen’s sword with super-high heat and clawed at his chest.

“Kwaaagh!!”

Aim for the chest of the guy who is stepping backwards.

Mana was condensed into the revolver, and the hunters who received my intention raised a reinforcement magic circle in front of their noses.

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced Omen’s chest with an explosion.

“Keuhuhh…!!”

The guy’s eyes twitch.

All Reapers and Battle Objects lost.

He must have judged that he could not break through this place with his strength alone.

Can’t win. die like this

The fear stemming from the overwhelming power difference was understandable without having to read it.

“damn···!”

It spreads an ashen curtain to cover itself.

Then, it slowly flew up and began to escape to the other side of the sky.

“Is it really… the man who killed the dragon king?”

“·······.”

“I admit my defeat, Shinigami…”

He spit it out like he was chewing it up.

“Next time, I will definitely kill you!”

It was a typical line of a running villain.

It must be that he intends to escape to the outer dimension and return to the Demon Beast Army’s headquarters.

However, there is one thing he is overlooking.

Why do you think I’ll just let you go?

“Prepare your breath.”

“…That’s Omen’s barrier. It’s a barrier that neutralizes 99% of physical force, so it’s impenetrable right now.”

“Then I’ll blow it up with a barrier.”

“With a barrier…?”

If it can’t be penetrated, it’s okay to blow it whole.

With the power of ‘erosion’, it has invaded the sympathetic nervous system that binds us together.

In the consciousness connected as one, the power of erosion was added to connect their ‘magical calculation ability’ as one.

The exploding computational power and the ensuing mana fluctuate enormously.

Magical power that shook all of Helios began to stir.

「Prepare」

I concocted a magic formula and placed a magic circle.

He started directly interfering with Karina’s ‘Dragon Breath’ spell.

Since he knew everything about the Balaur, it was not unreasonable to apply variations on their most powerful skills.

Amplification after amplification of mana and calculation changes the breath technique.

“Kuh…”

My heart races and my circle creaks.

My body screamed because I was inducing mana far beyond the limit.

His chest was squeezed in pain, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

Even so, the calculation continues without stopping.

「Prepare」

The target is Karina’s Dragon Breath.

Firmly anchored to the ground, she raises her head toward the Omen in the sky.

Mana gathered in the open mouth, and countless magic circles began to rotate in front of it.

“…Barrier Structure, Interpretation.”

Some are good.

If you can interpret even a little bit of structure, if you can make a small crack.

It can devour entire barriers with it.

If so, it is worth using the characteristics of the ‘spiritual body’ of the ghosts.

Key profit!!

aaa!!

The mind control that covered all of Helios, and the ghosts that stopped because of it.

They ripped their consciousness alive.

The body from which the soul was ripped off collapses, and the dismembered consciousness gathers in my grasp and blends into the spell that covers the breath.

Kiyiying-

The spell has been completed.

The magic power that reached the critical point aimed at a target in the sky.

“「Everyone. Prepare for shock.」”

After retrieving magic from the completed magic circle, he instructed them to prepare.

And so, he released the magic that Karina had been harboring.

The condensed mana was released in an instant.

aaa!!!!

A roar that shook the heavens and the earth and a shock wave swept everywhere.

A ray of light crossed the sky with the recoil of Karina’s firmly fixed body.

“······!”

The great light of destruction erased the fleeing Omen from the world.
