Magic Sea (5)

Black flashes galloped in all directions. The flashing lightning fiercely scratched the wide cavity where hundreds of people could comfortably play, tearing apart and burning the red flesh that filled the inside.

Acrid smoke rose up, obstructing vision and breathing, but it meant nothing to Carol. In the midst of a dark storm, the man endured by creating dozens of defensive magics in seconds.

The man who had fused with the flesh around him had an appearance close to a bright red piece of meat walking on two legs, which was hard to even call a human. As if hundreds of earthworms were wriggling together where the pupils should have been, flesh like threads were entangled, causing physiological disgust.

“Awesome.”

The man who turned into a giant looked at Carol with admiration. I doubted if I should have looked at it.

Carol didn’t answer. I knew that the man was manipulative. Nevertheless, the reason he accepted the conversation was because he knew that he couldn’t reach Carol no matter what he tried.

Quietly covered the black thunder with a sword ring and swung it. The spirit wave of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Spirit filled the wide space and collided with the man’s red demonic air. The moment the black lightning struck, all of the magic defenses the man was wearing were shattered in an instant with the sound of lightning flashing.

“It’s an unknown technique.”

The man was wary as he glared at the sword ring. He lived for a long time and studied and read numerous books, but the black thunder and sword ring were unknown to the man. It was the same with the energy of the Heavenly Demon Spirit, which was like black clouds.

[Shock detected above standard value. Fighting in the control room is not recommended.]

Ignoring the sudden warning, Carol slowly approached the man. A red demonic energy rose up around the man, and dozens of strands of condensed mana were fired at Carol, but all disappeared without a trace from the lightly swung black lightning.

As if the prestige of being a master teacher was not false, the man defended to the point where only a portion of his flesh fell off, constantly raising dozens of layers of defense against Carol’s attack using a sword ring.

‘A powerful attack causes the inside to collapse.’

The ship has already warned. Even though Carol felt it, the silver outer wall boasted a level of hardness that could not be compared to that of steel, but it was not strong enough to withstand Carol’s attack using a sword ring. In fact, scars have already been left everywhere. In the first place, Carol had implemented the sword ring by limiting its power to a minimum, but it was like this.

‘then….’

Carol swung the black lightning as a test. A slash that curved like a crescent moon approached the man. The man with wide-eyed eyes desperately memorized a spell, instantaneously realized hundreds of defense magics, and quickly stepped back.

A flash of lightning shattered all of that, eventually reaching the man and slicing off another chunk of flesh.

“Keuuugh…! You bastard!”

The insider didn’t understand. The first time you cut your throat? I thought it could be because I was careless. However, each subsequent slash had enormous energy.

Wielding something like that casually was unacceptable in a man’s common sense. Besides, Carol’s high-density condensed energy cut off all defenses like tofu. I guessed that Carol was strong, but this was way beyond my expectations.

“Nothing.”

Carol said indifferently and looked at the man. The man’s appearance, which was several times larger than that of a normal human, was not able to block Carol’s attack and was shaved off, and now it has shrunk to a level that is only a little less than twice as large.

Hundreds of witchcraft, offensive magic, and defensive magic that the man knows.

Great magic that a wizard would even risk a life of slavery in order to learn even one of them.

Nothing could stop even Carol’s single sword, and it was futile.

Carol was clearly a pure human being. In addition, a young academy student, Diabolus Pretum’s Master Apprentice, was his opponent. This was incomprehensible.

“You… who are you?”

The man asked in a trembling voice.

Beyond the incomprehensible, unreasonable, unreasonable.

That was an extremely absurd existence. It shouldn’t exist in this world, it couldn’t exist. Truly an existence out of the world. Something that can’t even be explained with the word talent.

“Karl von Bernstein.”

“You know I’m not asking for your name, right? How… could someone like you exist?”

Stepping back, the man flinched. I heard about the Great Northern War. As usual, I thought it was an exaggeration. It was common for noble families to stir up propaganda for the reputation of their heirs.

It wasn’t.

Rather, the rumors were reduced. Not grasping it more, which led to this.

“What the hell are you… what are you?”

With hopelessness in his eyes, the man asked again. The idea of experimenting on Carol had long since disappeared. The only thing that takes its place is the fear of an unknown existence that even a fragment can’t understand.

At first, I thought of Carol as an apostle of God. The same goes for the subtle holy power that you feel around your body. I heard that the hero is a woman, so maybe not, but it wouldn’t be strange if there was something similar.

However, after Carol gained momentum, she immediately changed her mind. The aura of Carol, who seemed to be afraid of even Magi, was absolutely not something an apostle of God could radiate. An ominously thick darkness that devours demonic energy. I’d never heard of anything like that.

“What the hell are you talking about…!”

Without answering, the man shouted at Carol, who silently pulled out the black lightning and approached. Since the fight started, the man had been walking backwards, and before he knew it, the man had come to a dead end.

Carol, who was approaching to finish, stopped and pondered for a moment.

Although Carol had many names while living many lives.

After all, the biggest and fundamental part of Carol’s identity throughout all of her life was her life in Moorim.

Of course, it was true that he was gradually fading while living in this world.

As time passes, life in Moorim and the goals pursued in Moorim may fade like a dream.

I didn’t want to be like that.

Carol still wanted to pursue martial arts.

I wanted to maintain my identity in Moorim.

That’s why I quietly recited it with a promise.

Heavenly Demon

Carol’s indifferent words sounded like they were stuck in the man’s ears. It was an old imperial language that was not commonly used, but mastered many magics and pursued the end of knowledge.

Diabolus Pretum’s master, Helleb, understood right away.

And I was convinced. Helleb, a black magician, has seen many demons. Helleb himself did not make a contract with the demons, but there were quite a few of the black magicians under his command who signed with the demons.

So I could say for sure. The demons were great, but they were not incomprehensible. However, the author…

It was truly an unknown monster itself.

If you don’t call such a thing that tramples on even the mighty Magi chauvinistically, what should you call it? The strongest and oldest fear humans feel is the fear of the unknown. Helleb felt beyond fear, even a kind of awe.

Of course, Carol had no interest in Helleb’s thoughts.

Carol floated six mighty swords around Helleb, who had a distraught expression. If the attack range had not been limited, it would have been over long ago. However, because Carol recognized the specialness of this ship as soon as he entered it.

I didn’t intend to obsess over ending it all at once, even destroying the ship. Against a single object with strong defense and regeneration, it was better to focus on a limited range rather than a wide range attack anyway.

The six mighty swords floated around Helev were arranged according to the principle of six unions, forming a realm of swords. A strong pressure was generated inside the sword system that tightly closed the surroundings like a membrane, and it clamped Helleb’s whole body.

“Keuuugh…!”

Helleb, who had already lost all his strength, fell to his knees unable to properly resist the bizarre pressure of the sword world.

The black lightning naturally escaped from Carol’s hand and rushed into the sword realm. Darkness rippled in, and suddenly the whole place went dark.

Heavenly Demon Sword

Bongma sword type

physical extinction

The six steel swords and black lightning that formed a barrier resonated, transforming into a fierce lightning storm that covered the inside of the sword world in an instant. Swirling whirlwinds shredded and crushed all of Helleb’s defenses.

That was it.

In the place where the raging typhoon passed, there was not even a trace of Helleb’s existence left.

[Confirmation of the extinction of demonic erosion in the control room.]

As if to announce it, the dry voice of the ship caught in Carol’s ears.

“What are you?”

From Carol’s point of view, it was something she was curious about from the moment she entered the ship. However, the priority was to organize the interior, so I just left the question behind.

[This is the controlling spirit of Eternia.]

“Is this ship called Eternia?”

[That’s right. Dragon Adrian’s responder.]

“I’m not like Dragon Adrian’s responder.”

[I can feel the unique energy of the sensor from you. I have no choice but to accept it that way.]

Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Carol’s mind. A piece of Dragon Heart bestowed by the Emperor of the Empire. I couldn’t even guess what it was when I ate it at the time, but based on numerous books, it was clear that the beads Carol had taken were pieces of a dragon heart.

The energy of the dragon heart remained even after leading Carol into a metamorphosis, permeating the veins of her whole body. Considering that the ship sensed that weak aura, there was some truth to it.

“You seem to be hostile to Magi, but why did you end up like this?”

[Some systems have been eroded by demons while in hibernation due to lack of power. It went into hibernation again because it was impossible to purify itself, but it woke up after recognizing your approach.]

“Is this something like Dragon’s Legacy?”

[you’re right. In order to purify the demon inside the ship, it is recommended to charge the dragon Adrian’s sensor with power.]

“Power recharge?”

[yes. With as little as the lightning elemental you possess, it is possible to recharge the ship’s power to some extent. You can put it here.]

Like the control room, a cylindrical pillar rose from the floor. When I summoned the Black Lightning again and placed it on top of it, the light flashed in a floating state. The more he looked at the interior of this world-class ship, the more Carol couldn’t help but admire it. It was literally the essence of magic engineering.

[The ship’s power has been charged from less than 1% to 3%. Magi self-purification begins.]

Kugu Palace-

The ship, which had been silent until now, vibrated loudly, and I felt a sense of exhilaration as the demonic energy that permeated every corner was removed.

[Demonic purification complete. I propose a temporary contract to the responder of the dragon Adrian.]

“I am not a responder of the dragon Adrian, I am Carol.”

[All right. Carol.]

“I will accept the contract.”

From Carol’s point of view, it was questionable how useful the ship’s power would be, but I was convinced that this ship would be convenient in many ways.

[Hand over here. A little bit of energy will seep in. Please don’t deny it.]

As before, a cylindrical pillar rose from the floor.

When Carol put her palm together, the ship and energy connected, and a pattern that glowed softly on the back of her hand came to mind.

[The pass continued. You can take your hands off now.]

When Carol removed her hand, the pattern on the back of her hand faded again.

“If it’s a contract, what can I do?”

[You can give me most orders under the ship’s protocol. However, in the case of temporary contracts, combat actions are limited.]

“I’ll leave the Black Lightning here for now. Replenish power whenever possible and wait in stealth.”

[All right.]

* * *

After looking around the inside of the ship once more, I went outside and returned to the shore near the lake.

“Master! are you okay?”

I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting, but Princess Riena and Yulia are squatting and gazing across the lake. Seeing me approaching, they hurriedly ran.

“Yes, it’s fine. For now, it’s over.”

I put my hand lightly on the head of Princess Riena, who was staring at me, and said,

Although he knew about Princess Riena’s mother and the secret of her birth.

What does that matter?

Whether you were born with the secret art of black magic or as a pure human being.

Princess Riena was just Princess Riena.

one of my pupils.

I don’t know if Princess Riena will know how she was born later, but there’s no need to tell her now.

“You worked hard, Master.”

He placed a palm on Yulia’s head as she bowed slightly.

They lightly rubbed their heads.

“Ah!”

“S, Master?”

Of course, it was lightly kneaded by my standards, but it didn’t seem to be from the perspective of the receiving disciples.

“It’s a massage, it’s a massage.”

“It hurts. It looks like a crack in my skull. What kind of massage is this…”

“It hurts…”

“It’s normal to have some pain. And the skull doesn’t crack that much. Now, let’s go back.”

Feeling the stabilization of the mind and body, which had been sharpened by all the events from the Holy Land.

Ignoring the two glances at each other with slightly flushed faces, I took the lead.
