Episode 369

For a moment, my legs gave out and I almost collapsed on the spot.

‘Ah, I survived.’

Actually, I did try to figure out various ways to survive, but most of them were very unlikely.

It wasn’t for nothing that I was assuming a regression to the worst situation… … .

In the midst of all this, when Lise-nim showed up, I couldn’t have been more reassured.

I immediately shared this joy with Seren.

“Hey, now we’re alive.”

“… … .”

Then Seren looked at me with a strange look.

Oh. Now that I think about it, I was Naru just now.

I said, coughing. There are still many people watching, so it would be a bit difficult to reveal my identity.

“Excuse me. I misspoke. That person is my acquaintance. He came to save me.”

Seren said with an uneasy face.

“Acquaintances? Not colleagues?”

“Even though he looks like that, he has a warm heart. Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

“Really? What is your identity?”

“Badniker’s secret weapon? If you know too much about it, it’ll hurt you.”

“… … .”

Then Seren tilted her head at me and muttered.

“Have you seen me somewhere before?”

“…Why that all of a sudden?”

“The unlucky tone of voice sounds familiar… … .”

I let out a brief laugh.

The guy who said “If you talk to me, I’ll kill you” when we first met, who said that unlucky speech?

“This is our first meeting.”

I gave a vague reply and then watched the situation again.

How much does Lise know about [the Abnaham Witch Society]?

As far as I know, the history of the witches’ coven is not short.

It must have been at least a hundred years ago.

This means that they are a group with a much longer history than most of the guys who just brag about the number of years.

Of course, because it is a mysterious force, the exact date of its founding is unknown… … .

In any case, it was highly likely that he didn’t even know about it, since the warlock named Lyseradicos had been locked in the library for hundreds of years.

“… A spell that turns hair into snakes. I’ve seen it in literature. It must be some kind of ancient black magic, but it’s been out of practice for at least 200 years.”

A strange longing swirled in Ozma’s empty eyes. The languid feeling disappeared, and in its place was filled with heat.

Meanwhile, Lise, who had been checking the inside of the bread bag with one eye closed, finally saw me.

At that moment, I felt like the word ‘Luan’ was going to come out of my mouth, so I said it quickly.

“You came to help me, wizard!”

“… … ?”

“You came all the way here to save me, a mere servant, ‘Naru’… … I don’t know what to do with this Naru.”

He said Naru twice.

Then, Lise’s head tilted slightly.

I could also see the pupils of her eyes, fixed behind her wavy hair, narrowing slightly.

It’s a tense moment.

Although Lise has lived a long time, she seems to lack life experience, so she had no idea how to respond to my ad-lib.

To be frank, it wouldn’t be strange if you responded, “Luan. What are you talking about?”

“hmm…….”

After the silence, Lise said.

“What should I do?”

Should I say that I’m lucky?

Although Lee Se is inexperienced, he is not stupid and showed a pretty good response.

I just changed the subject.

I looked around and said.

“Can you sort out the situation now?”

“If that is what you desire, I can make everyone here kneel before you.”

Dorothy burst out laughing and Ryan growled like an animal.

Lise continued speaking in an indifferent voice.

“Or just kill them all.”

Then Seren paused and said.

“That… Could you please reconsider?”

Although I was asking Lise, Seren’s gaze was directed at me.

It seems that Lee Se has decided that she will grant my request.

‘Is there something?’

Come to think of it, I still don’t know why Seren took on the risk of interacting with them.

I said this while looking at the reset, thinking that it might be useful.

“Would it be okay to just subdue them?”

“Well, that’s what it is.”

“The more I listen to these things, the more they go beyond the limit.”

Ryan, the guy who seemed to have the least patience, stepped forward with a flushed face.

“It’s great that you were able to break through the [Emerald Tower] barrier, but do you think that’s enough to handle everyone here? You’re not the only one who didn’t give your all in the fight just now!”

Ryan, who tripped me up.

When Lise heard that voice, she covered her nose and said.

“You stink, so close your mouth.”

“what?”

“Can’t you understand, you beast? The stench of poison is making my head spin, so shut up.”

Pharmacist?

I sniffed, but I couldn’t smell anything in particular.

“Where the hell are you talking nonsense!”

Ryan stretched out his front paws with a very angry expression. His face, with the features of a water man, was no different from a lion’s.

Lise stood there still.

Instead, the hair that usually moved like a water pump flowed like a waterfall, swelled in size, and in an instant, it became dozens of large and small snakes.

The startled Ryan swung his claws and bit the snake with his teeth, but the snake, like a strong stem, was not torn or cut.

Instead, he skillfully grabbed Ryan’s body and tied him up in an instant.

“Let go of this!”

Even in that state, he let out a roar, and the inside of his stomach rumbled as if a lion had really roared.

Reese moved her hair and pulled Ryan closer.

“Ahaha… … .”

His pupils curved into crescent moons with an evil laugh.

“Then let’s check for ourselves whether it’s nonsense or not.”

One of the snakes slowly approached Ryan.

As the distance became closer, it began to change shape and wobble, eventually becoming a strangely shaped syringe.

“What are you trying to do… … !”

“I intend to prove that I was right. I’m going in without anesthesia, so it’ll hurt a little.”

“what?”

Then, a bang was heard along with Ryan’s desperate scream.

Because a syringe the size of a finger dug into the area near the heart.

‘Ugh… … .’

That might hurt a little.

“Ryan!”

I wonder if these guys even had a minimal sense of camaraderie.

The Ghost Knight, Tin, rushed forward, drawing his axe, but Lise waved his hand without looking back.

With a loud thud, the round table flipped over and fell on Tin.

Tin swung his axe and tried to split the Round Table in one stroke, but something surprising happened.

Suddenly a black hand grew out of the round table and grabbed an axe.

“… … !”

The hand wasn’t even one.

Hundreds of arms sprouted from the round table and began to spread out indiscriminately towards the surrounding area.

‘Ugh… … .’

Maybe because it was black magic, it didn’t look very good.

In an instant, the round table, which had turned into a ball, rolled around like a ball and crushed Tin.

He’s still swinging his axe and fighting while being crushed, but it doesn’t seem like it’ll be resolved quickly.

In the meantime, I looked at the rest of the characters.

Ozma was watching the whole situation with wide open eyes. There was a strange madness in his eyes, as if he would not miss a single moment of what was happening.

Dorothy seemed to be watching the situation unfold with a strange smile on her face… … .

The doll called Crow was stamping its feet as if it was in pain.

“Okay, extraction complete.”

Meanwhile, Lise smiled with satisfaction and threw Ryan. Did she drain all the blood and turn him into a living mummy?

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

The liberated Ryan, though pale in appearance, did not look like he was in danger of dying.

Crow, who had been watching the situation, quickly approached and asked in a dull voice.

“are you okay?”

“Eek… … !”

But Ryan was startled by those words and covered his face.

“Hey, Ryan?”

When the surprised Crow tries to follow him, he screams and runs away.

Seeing that, Lise burst into laughter.

“Ahahaha!”

It’s exactly a witch’s laugh.

I didn’t plan on doing it in the witches’ hideout though.

“What did you do?”

Lise responded with a smile to Ozma’s words.

“I just extracted the drug from the herbicide. It’s something that stimulates the central nervous system and forcibly puts the mind and body into a state of heightened state. If you get the ratio right, there are fewer side effects, and since it’s a water creature, it would be easier to endure.”

“… … .”

“Well, looking at that, it looks like he took it for mental rather than physical reasons.”

In Ryan’s trembling appearance, it was difficult to find any trace of the brave warrior he had been until just now.

Do I sound like the world’s biggest coward?

‘By the way… … .’

Aside from that, I was impressed by how Lise subdued two witches in an instant.

Actually, I don’t know much about Lee Se.

A figure from at least several hundred years ago, of the blood of the Black Elf Suket, a master of all the mysterious arts… … .

Is that all?

I had a vague idea that his skills and level of knowledge might be comparable to that of Chilsek, but I didn’t know for sure.

However, the performance of Lee Se that I saw in person exceeded my expectations.

Ozma asked, narrowing his eyes, as if he was feeling something similar.

“Ancient magic and the sorcery of possessing objects with souls… … are all probably black magic that has been lost to time.”

“Hoo… … .”

Lise was also slightly impressed.

As if he was quite surprised by Ozma’s insight.

“Who the hell are you?”

“A snake dragon that swims in the deepest darkness, a black magician that cannot even be colored by the seven colors that cross the sky… … I don’t know if the children of this era know about it.”

Somehow, Lise had a happy expression on her face.

Just like when I took you to a restaurant and you ate delicious food.

Rather than thinking of the current situation as a crisis or an unexpected disaster, it seems like they are thinking of it as an extension of a trip they haven’t had in hundreds of years.

Ozma’s eyes narrowed even further.

“… The Black Sky Magician? Are you talking about the master of black magic who was active hundreds of years ago?”

“Hmm. I guess the reputation of this Liseradios still lives on.”

“It’s hard to believe. I heard that the Black Sky Magician disappeared one day as if he had just disappeared… … The prevailing theory was that he either went mad while studying black magic, or died suddenly.”

“My mind is not so weak that I would go crazy just from studying magic. And why don’t you test it yourself? See if I’m real.”

“Stop showing off.”

“what?”

“Your identity is secondary, and your powers are probably limited right now.”

What the heck is that?

Ozma pointed to the bracelet on Lise’s wrist.

This is the bracelet that Assad gave me.

A magical tool that allows Lisera Digos to go out only once a month.

“There’s a sealing spell engraved on that bracelet. You’re tied up somewhere.”

“You have a keen eye. You managed to confirm that it is engraved on the inside of the bracelet, not the outside.”

“I can understand the nature of magic tools just by looking at them. As you said, my eyes are good.”

Ozma blinked.

Beneath the dark black eyes, it felt as if something was wriggling.

“The maximum amount of mana you can produce right now is only about half… … If you try to use it more than that, isn’t there some kind of penalty? Like being forcibly sent back to where it should be?”

I had a gut feeling that everything Ozma said was true.

Because that’s what Assad said when he handed me the bracelet.

The recipe is engraved and has restrictions.

Meanwhile, Tin, who had been wrestling with the monster that Leese had created, split its clump of hands with an axe and joined in.

Still Ryan is stuck in the corner, muttering, “I need medicine, medicine… medicine… … .” But… … .

If everything Ozma said is true, it might be difficult for Lise to fight the remaining four alone.

‘That would be true if only Lee Se-man fought.’

I exchanged a glance with Seren. The guy quickly noticed and nodded.

If we join the war, it’s four to three.

There’s still a shortage of personnel, but if Lee Se can take care of the two most troublesome ones, it shouldn’t be hard to organize the rest of the personnel.

At that moment, Ozma looked back and said something out of the blue.

“Teen. Take Crow and Ryan. And Dorothy. We’ll have to move them.”

“I knew it would turn out like that. Which floor should I send it to?”

“5th floor… no. 6th floor.”

“Hmm. Normally, I would have complained that it was excessive, but… now, it’s appropriate.”

Dorothy, who had been grinning, suddenly stood still and tapped the ground with her feet several times.

There was a lively sound, as if someone was knocking, or as if someone was preparing to dance at a ball.

It was only then that my eyes fell on the bright red shoes Dorothy was wearing.

The moment I started to think that somehow it wasn’t something out of the ordinary…

The surrounding scenery began to change.

‘What the heck is this-.’

The concepts of up, down, left, and right disappear, and the body flies in all directions. It’s like being trapped in a carriage that’s about to fall off a cliff.

The moment I immediately pulled up my stamina and found balance… … .

I realized belatedly that the surrounding scenery had changed significantly.

It was still dark, but we were no longer in a confined space, but rather in an outside space.

The moment I saw the cracked earth, the gloomy air, and above all, the eerie green sky, I felt a chill down my spine.

‘no way?’

What suddenly came to mind was the scenery of a dead city spread out under a green sky.

A building that was twisted and erected as if someone had squeezed it, a building that was completely empty, an ominous feeling beyond the red windows… … .

And a transcendent being appears while playing with a ball.

Seren frowned, mouthing the word I had thought of.

“…hell?”

“no.”

I denied it immediately.

The scenery was surprisingly similar, but the gloomy, dark instrument characteristic of Hell was not felt.

“Looking around, Lise said.

“Is this a place modeled after hell?”

[That’s right. Dimensional travel and demon summoning are also included in the field of black magic.]

Ozma’s voice was heard from somewhere.

It wasn’t in this space, it seemed like it was watching us from somewhere far away.

[It’s a place that imitates hell, but in reality, hundreds of demons we summoned are staying there. You won’t be able to come out until you kill them all.]

“… … .”

This is a bit of a big deal.

I never thought that the Witch’s Coven would push through with cowardly force.

Meanwhile, ominous sounds began to be felt around me.

The devil’s presence.

Judging by the momentum, the level wasn’t that high. Naturally, there were no legion commanders, just low-level demons and occasionally mid-level demons.

But if the number is in the hundreds, it’s a different story.

I sighed and said to Lise.

“Leave the little guys here to us.”

“what?”

“Didn’t you say that if we kill all of these guys, we can return to our original location? After you go back, Lise, take care of the witches, and we’ll deal with these guys.”

“So why?”

“Why… … .”

I looked closely because I felt like the conversation wasn’t going well, and Lise said.

“There’s no need to deal with those annoying things. It’s just over.”

“It’s over?”

This is the moment when Lee Se stretched out his hands towards the sky.

A black oily substance formed at the tip of the palm, which soon took the shape of an arrow and shot up into the sky.

Kwajik!

And then the sky was pierced.

In the false sky, cracks appeared as if broken glass, along with traces of a hole.

Damn it!

The crack instantly covered the entire sky and then spread to the ground.

As I stood there, not knowing how to react, the surrounding scenery was shattered with a loud crash.

Fragments of light scattered like snowflakes… … .

“… … .”

“… … .”

We returned to our original location, facing the members of the witches’ guild.

Ozma showed signs of confusion for the first time.

“…What on earth have you done?”

“Backward calculation.”

Lee Se said it nonchalantly.

“It is possible if you understand the structure of the spell, see through the mana pattern, and lastly, if the destroyer’s ability exceeds that of the caster.”

“You reversed the summoning magic? That’s possible-.”

“It is possible. For this body.”

“… … .”

“And one more thing. You, earlier you said what you would do with half the mana.”

Lise said with a smile.

“Baby, with half that amount of mana, you can conquer this place twelve more times.”
