Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 70
70. The Forest of Enchantment (6)
Dozens of ghouls and high-level corrupted spirits surrounded us.
Tia is still passed out with a sleeping expression, and Aria and Lucy are in a state where they cannot continue the fight for long.
Things were going from bad to worse.
“I’ll buy some time. In the meantime, Lucy and Cyan-”
“Don’t be stupid, Aria! How dare you leave Aria alone!”
“There’s nothing I can do! Then is there a good way?!”
“that….”
Lucy bit her lower lip.
“… Aria, Lucy. Please take care of the ghouls.”
In that situation, I said.
My current level is the beginning of 4-star… I can fight on equal terms with the highest level spirits.
You can defeat a single high-level corrupted spirit if you give it time, but your chances of winning are low when fighting dozens of ghouls.
In that case… the best option would be for Aria and Lucy to block the ghouls, and I can subdue the higher-level spirits in the meantime.
“That spirit… looks like it’s at least intermediate level or higher, but can you defeat it, Cian?”
“okay.”
I gripped the sword tightly.
“Five minutes, Lucy. Please help me and Aria prevent the ghouls from approaching me.”
“If it’s 5 minutes, then there’s no problem! You can definitely win, right?!”
“yes.”
“Growling!”
The ghouls are coming.
Aria manifested an aura around her sword, and Lucy summoned wolf spirits from beneath the ground.
The battle has begun.
.
.
.
.
Kak! Chook! Pook!
The ghouls’ rotten blood is scattered across the ground.
Lucy distracted the ghouls with her spirits, and Aria cut down the ghouls with her aurors to make a path.
I squeezed my way into the space they had created and confronted the higher-level corrupted spirits.
“Kikikiki… .”
“… … .”
As expected of a spirit of intermediate level or higher, it has a very human-like appearance.
The skin color is gray overall, but there are cool blue patterns shining on the wrists, joints, and shoulders.
From the neck down to the lower body, it looks like a muscular human, but the head resembles a deer, and it has menacing blue horns growing out of its head.
‘Perhaps a spirit that uses dimensional, spatial magic.’
This is usually the case for those types of people who don’t feel any attribute magic at all.
It is likely that the event will involve the use of space, dimensions, and unusual physical forces.
“Kikigigigik!”
The deer spirit makes ghostly sounds that are out of place for its large size.
Soon, the blue patterns drawn all over the joints glowed once, and the deer spirit blinked in my sight.
“Kick!”
“also!”
It teleported in front of me in an instant.
‘He’s a guy who uses space magic!’
The deer spirit swings its huge, muscular arms at me.
I quickly jumped and dodged the attack. Then the deer spirit’s fist crashed into the ground.
-Cookwakwang!
-Dudududu!
The force was so strong that the ground shook with the impact.
‘He must have controlled gravity to gain incredible strength!’
I breathed aura into the iron sword. The density is the maximum I can currently produce.
Not only the sword, but also the hand and arm holding the sword glowed brightly due to the aura.
“Put the pressure down!”
I swung my sword sharply at the deer spirit’s thigh. But.
“Kikik…!”
The deer spirit, feeling threatened, teleported behind where it had been confronting me earlier. My aura split the air.
“Hey kid, are you scared? Is this your first time seeing a four-star auror?”
“Kikigigigigigi!”
The deer spirit seemed to be furious at my provocation and kept repeating its ghostly scream.
A deer spirit reaches out to me.
Once again, the blue patterns drawn all over the deer spirit’s joints begin to glow.
And then.
-Thud!
“Huh-!”
For a moment, my body felt heavy, as if its weight had multiplied several times.
It’s hard to control your body. The deer spirit has used gravity magic.
I knelt down on one knee and a snicker escaped my lips without me realizing it.
“Did you end up writing it?”
“Kikigigigigi!”
Things didn’t look good, but this was the sea I led.
Large-scale gravity magic has an enormous magical power consumption rate, as it is magic that manipulates space itself.
It won’t last long.
Yes. Just use up all your magic power!
“Kikigikik!”
The deer spirit charges again to ambush me when I can’t control my gravity.
The deer spirit approaches and throws a punch.
-Whoaaah!
“Keeeeeeee!”
“Did you really think that gravity alone would be enough to stop my movements?”
The deer spirit groans in pain.
-Thud, thud.
And one of the deer spirit’s arms, which had been attached to it until just a moment ago, was rolling around on the forest floor.
I cut it off before the fist made contact.
Gravity magic could definitely block my movements momentarily. But, I’m a 4 star.
If I couldn’t use magic or was a mediocre 3-star like Aria, then it wouldn’t matter, but if I used my pure magic to temporarily strengthen my body, gravity wouldn’t be a problem at all.
“Keeeeeeeeee!”
“Do you see now? You were fooled.”
He acted as if he couldn’t control his body because of gravity. It was a psychological warfare to induce him to let his guard down.
‘If you were going to use gravity control magic to hit me, you should have used it at a crucial moment to disrupt my movements. Well, I was an old hand before the Ice Age, so I could have overcome that situation.’
I’m standing there smiling, unharmed, under the gravity control magic of the deer spirit. The deer spirit then cancels the magic spell.
Now that he knows it won’t work, he’s probably trying to reduce the useless consumption of magic power.
“Keeeeeeeeeeee!”
“You don’t have the magic to teleport anymore? You’re lost now.”
Now I just have to finish it. The strength of a one-armed deer spirit is no match for my four-star aura.
It was at that moment that I was trying to get my feet wet.
“Lucy! Are you okay?!”
“Ugh… Aria…”
I hurriedly turned around in the direction where their voices came from.
Lucy, who was protecting Tia, was surrounded by ghouls.
Aria also seemed to be at her physical limit, as she was unable to swing her sword easily even when facing the ghouls up close.
“You guys! Are you okay-?!”
“Sian! We have to finish that guy off quickly! Lucy…!”
“Kikkikkik… .”
When I look back again, the deer spirit is smiling.
‘What the heck? Why is this guy splitting things apart…?’
at that time.
‘… … !’
An ominous feeling suddenly crossed my mind.
I didn’t think about it any more.
-bang!
The deer spirit and I simultaneously lifted our feet and charged fiercely toward Lucy.
Aria’s expression is clearly visible as if time is passing slowly. Her pupils are wide open, her mouth is wide with surprise.
‘Reach! Please, I have to reach first!’
Time passes quickly again.
-Kwaaang!
We clashed.
“… I really used up all my luck this year. I never thought the Blue Dragon Corps would have finished absorbing their spirit energy by now….”
“Kikikiki… .”
I turned my back to Lucy and the unconscious Tia and glared at the deer spirit.
Aria arrives late and protects them from the ghouls.
“He really is a clever guy. But what are we going to do now?”
“Kikik… .”
He even cut off the deer spirit’s remaining arm.
And, at this moment, I have grown anew.
4 stars late.
The absorption of the Blue Dragon Corps, which started from the dormitory, has just ended.
My whole body felt magical. My physical strength, energy, and even my vitality were all restored.
… Now all that remains is to finish it.
“Lucy! Are you okay…?!”
“I’m… okay. Thanks to Mr. Sian stopping me…”
All I have to do is shake off that damn deer spirit and deal with the remaining ten or so ghouls, and it’ll be over.
“Keeeeee!”
The deer spirit, feeling that he had no chance of winning, ran away.
‘Don’t miss it!’
I jumped, strengthening my body with even more dense magic power.
It was easy to chase after the deer spirit who had lost both arms and was completely exhausted.
Before I knew it, I had reached a distance where I could reach it by stretching my arm.
‘Goodbye.’
He gripped his sword and swung his last blow at the deer spirit.
An iron sword shining brilliantly with aura cuts through the air.
And, just before the sword touched, when it seemed like everything was over.
-Quaquaquaqua!
“Keeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeek… .”
The deer spirit fell forward, writhing in pain.
His muscular body is engulfed in flames and burns.
After that, he slowly began to lose his form, and his existence completely disappeared into the air.
“Wh, what…!”
It was bound to be absurd.
The deer spirit was burned to death.
It wasn’t something I did.
Just before my sword touched the deer spirit’s body, I threw myself to the side.
It was because something with a strong will to live flew in.
It wasn’t Lucy’s wolf spirit or Aria’s auror.
It was spirit magic.
That too, it was a fire attribute spirit magic with an unbelievable power that would be impossible to explain unless it was cast by a top tier spirit master who was far beyond the upper ranks.
I immediately turned my head in the direction where the magic had come from.
Then there.
“Didn’t this person faint?”
“Lucy! Get away from her! I sense a strong killing intent!”
Something unexplainable was happening.
Tia is standing there, perfectly still. Her face is so full of life that it’s hard to believe she had just passed out, having used up all her magic power.
“Tia…?”
A bright red iris was swirling around Tia’s eyes.
I could feel it at that moment.
She is not Tia.
From noble mtl dot com
Her voice was so strong and heavy that it was hard to believe she was a timid person.
The tone of voice and the dispirited personality that had been there before were nowhere to be found, and now he was approaching me with dignified steps.
Crucially, the strangely pure magic that was now emanating from Tia’s body.
It was the magic of the spirit.
“…The lower creatures are frantically trying to wake up Jim from his long rest.”
