I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling - I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling chapter 114

114 – Wicker Man

Shururururuk-!!!

As soon as Krysia’s chanting ended, the arrows stuck in the ground instantly began to grow into giant trees each tens of meters tall.

That speed is literally a split second.

Thanks to this, the giant’s fist that was targeting the fairy was filled with magical power and bounced off the giant tree with a strength that made even steel laugh.

But Minor didn’t dare swing his fist again.

I just raised my head and used [Giantization] To see ‘that thing’ that created a shadow so huge that it covered me.

I could only stare blankly up at the ‘thing’ so huge that it blocked out the light of the virtual sun.

“Ah…”

Minor felt a sense of ‘awe at creatures larger than himself’ welling up in his heart, something he had never experienced since the [Giantization] Gift was developed.

─……….

It was a ‘giant made of forests’ that quietly looked down on the minor.

A giant that moves using the giant tree made by growing arrows as its skeleton, and the surrounding trees wrapped around the skeleton as its muscles.

The giant’s kind and gentle personality seemed to be visible in the green sprouts and young saplings that sprouted all over the tree’s body, swaying in the wind.

That alone did not diminish the giant’s intimidation in the slightest.

Because the giant of the forest was ‘too big.’

Even though it only has the upper body, its size is over ‘100m’.

“The only thing I can maintain is one minute… I guess I’ll have to hurry up~.”

Wicker Man.

It is an ancient magic that is closer to the function of the blood system than magic, using the power of forgotten languages and the power of noble blood, which is different from the modern magic that became efficient through war.

Arrows made from willow trees consecrated overnight, branches of the World Tree, the affinity of high elves, the optimal environment of a dense forest, and magical power that far exceeds one’s own limitations using gifts. It can’t be used without anything….

Cryssia’s current trump card and ‘strongest hand’.

Because it was forced to be used by combining Krysia’s hand cards that were not ready for use yet, it was only ‘1/10th of the original power’ and was imperfect…….

A part of the highest level magic that is feared and called strategic magic.

No matter how Agnes, Minor, and Aren were the top first-year students, known as the golden generation, they couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the giant of the forest in front of them.

“Come on, do it~! Wicker Man~!”

At the shout of the fairy sitting quietly on the Wicker Man’s shoulder, a dark green magical glow ignited in the giant’s single eye, deep and gigantic, like the knothole of a thousand-year-old tree.

And the Wicker Man quickly stretched out his large hand, each of his fingers made of a giant tree several meters thick, and firmly grabbed the iron-clad giant.

“Ugh!? Ooooo!!!!”

The captured Minor came to his senses and went on a rampage to escape the Wicker Man’s clutches.

Quwadeuk-Puddeuk-Geekigeek-

No matter how smaller he is than the Wicker Man, he is still a powerful giant.

As Minor rampaged with all his might, the wood that made up Wicker Man’s hand began to break, chip away, and bend.

But Minor could not escape the Wicker Man’s grasp.

Shurururuk-!!!

The trees were growing at a faster rate than they were being damaged, and the damaged areas were being restored.

“W-what…!?”

Even after the damage was recovered, the tree continued to grow without stopping and began to wrap around the minor, like a persistent snake or a strong chain.

Soon, about a few seconds had passed.

There, a huge wooden prison had been completed, with no sign of the Minor who had been rampaging just a moment ago.

But the Wicker Man did not end with just trapping him.

Kuddeuk-deuk-!!!

The trees that formed the prison began to grow and grow in size.

As the trees grew, a terrible pressure, like a deep ocean, began to press down on the inside of the prison, which was already full of trees.

“Quaaah……!!!!”

Even though it was a giant wearing several meters of thick iron armor and thick muscles, it couldn’t even resist against that enormous pressure.

Kwadeuk-!

After hearing the sound of something being crushed.

Nothing existed in the hands of the Wicker Man, who returned to his original form from his old prison.

“One…Or was it two? Anyway, those people are gone…Now only Miss Agnes and I are left~?”

Chrysia looked down from the giant’s shoulder at Agnes, whose complexion had turned white, and spoke cheerfully.

“Well, now that it’s just the two of us~. Let’s take this opportunity to decide who is the best archer in the first year~♪”

“…Don’t be ridiculous!!! They use things like that, but how do you decide? At least use archery!!!”

“「I made a wicker man with a bow and arrow → A wicker man is a bow and arrow → In other words, using a wicker man is no different from archery.」 Well, I debunked it~!”

“Do you have fertilizer in your head instead of a brain?! I apologize to all the archers in the world!!!”

“…Go, Wicker Man!”

“Ugh! You crazy b*tch!!!”

The Wicker Man’s huge palm is pressed down from above.

As if to prove that something huge is not slow, it just looks slow. Agnes’ vision was already filled with the maroon color of the trees.

Aness was struggling and shooting arrows at random, but to the Wicker Man, they were no different from thorns on a tree branch.

“…I can’t admit this!!!!”

Thump-!!!

With that final cry full of resentment, Agnes was crushed by the giant’s palm and was eliminated from the competition.

“…Whew! That was really breathtaking~.”

Looking at her like that, Krishia wiped the sweat from her forehead.

As if she had heard those words, Wickerman’s movements suddenly stopped.

And when the mana that maintained the magic ran out, the Wicker Man began to rapidly wither and lose his shape.

Krysia, who was sitting on Wicker Man’s shoulder, fell from the sky.

In the aftermath of forcibly activating the highest level magic, Chrysia is unable to lift a finger.

Fussuk-

And what Krysia received was the surrounding trees, which were suddenly sprouting branches full of luxuriant leaves.

“Thank you, guys~.”

The trees swayed their branches as if they were happy at Chrysia’s gratitude.

“For now, my mission is over… Should I help others after I recover a bit…?”

Quang-!!!

A loud explosion, heard from far away, forcibly cut off Krysia’s worries.

Krysia turned her gaze to the source of the sound.

What caught the eye of Krysia, who had vision comparable to that of a bird of prey, was the gate of the fortress with a gaping hole about 5 meters in diameter, and Jesar infiltrating the fortress by throwing her body through the hole.

“…There is no need to help too much~.”

Deciding that she did not need his help, Krysia laid her body down on a bed of soft leaves and closed her eyes.

******

“Ugh hot! Her left arm flew off!”

Jesar, who broke in through a hole in the castle gate, was using the Five Swords to break through the castle wall. He failed to control the magic power of his body’s overload and burst into laughter as he looked at his left arm, which exploded like a sword.

The students in the fortress pointed their weapons at Jesar.

“Crazy…! Even if it’s not completed yet, you really broke through the fortress by yourself…!”

“Don’t be scared! The opponent doesn’t have an arm anymore!”

“You won’t be able to show even 30% of your original ability! With that level, we can win!”

“…hahahahaha!!!”

Jesar burst into laughter as if he couldn’t bear it at the words of the students surrounding him.

“That’s true. I’ve weakened to the point where I can say I’ve done well if I can achieve 30% of my original ability. But…Just because I’ve become weaker, doesn’t mean you guys have become stronger!!!”

Jessar quickly rushed towards the students with a sinister smile that showed his gums.

“Fire the 1st magic division! “Fireball”!”

“「Rock Blaster」!”

“「Vacuum wave」!”

.

.

.

Several magic pouring down on Jesar.

“That level of magic doesn’t work on me at all…!”

Towards those magics, Jesar swung the sword overflowing with magic held in his one arm with all his might.

Although it was not a secret sword technique in the form of a complete sword energy, a sword wind with a certain amount of physical power was shot out and forcibly detonated the magic in the air.

Rather than completely nullifying the magic with a delicate technique of cutting the magic core, it was merely an ignorant force pushing technique that detonated the magic before it hit it directly. Naturally, the aftereffects of magic hit Jessar.

The dense magical smoke flowing from the cracks in Jesar’s body blocked the damage caused by the magic’s aftermath.

Jessar broke through the magic and swung his sword at the leading wizard.

“Where!”

Kakang-!

Jesar’s violent sword strike was blocked by Mahit Ryouna, a knight in full body armor with a large body, with his shield.

“No matter how much you are, you can’t defeat me unless you have one arm! If you really want to pass by here, bring Miss Shar! If you do that… hehehehe! … I’ll gladly get out of the way! … Uhehehe!”

“…Indeed. If she feels this bad, that stiff woman’s complexion should change.”

When Mahit spoke with an ecstatic face and drooling, Jessar burst out in admiration with unbearable disgust even though he was the same man.

But that unpleasant guy’s skills as a tank are top-notch.

It was very difficult for Jesar, who was now without one arm, to break through Mahit’s defense.

If things continue like this, the only thing left is a future where we are surrounded and one-sidedly hunted….

“I am not your opponent.”

Rather, Jesar grinned and slightly lifted the greaves he was wearing as if he had been waiting for this moment.

“──Go, kid.”

Something small and white hidden inside Jesar’s armor shot like the wind towards Mahit.

“Huh…!?”

Mahit swung his shield reflexively, but Baekmyeon took advantage of his small stature and incredible speed to quickly sneak into the gap between Mahit.

“BeeeIT──!!!”

Pow-!!!

I used my best wind magic to blast Mahit into the sky.

“Wow…?!”

A man in full body armor floating nearly 20 meters above the ground.

However, wind magic, which only focused on blowing away the opponent, could not cause any damage to Mahit, who had solid full-body armor and B-grade durability.

Furthermore, even if the man fell from this height headfirst, there would not be much damage to the man, and even if he got hurt, there was no need to worry as long as [Regeneration B] Was available.

Mahit, who knew that, also had a relaxed smile on his face.

“This is more fun than I thought….”

And Mahit smiled leisurely,

Pow-!

I was blown higher by the wind magic of the young divine beast who was approaching before I knew it.

Boom! Pop-! Pop-!

Baekmyeon chased Mahit by rapidly flapping his small wings, and continued to use wind magic to send the man flying higher and higher.

“Seo, can’t it be…?!”

The moment he was hit with the third wind magic, Mahit’s complexion turned pale as he noticed the terrifying action that the cute-looking white baby bird was about to do.

“Stop it…!!!”

Mahit somehow tried to stop his magic….

All Mahit can do in the sky with nowhere to step is waving his limbs.

And of course, such a pathetic-looking gesture could not stop the magic of the white face flying freely in the sky.

The place where Mahit arrived after being hit by magic dozens of times was───

───’500 Meters in the air’.

“…hehehehe.”

Looking at the fortress that could only be seen as a black dot, Mahit laughed helplessly and made eye contact with the white cotton flying lazily in front of him.

“No way… I never thought I’d experience falling to death in my life… Yes, even [Regeneration] Is useless if you die instantly. It’s a really wise method.”

With those words, Mahit began to fall.

Baekmyeon, who returned behind the falling man, unleashed his final wind magic towards Mahit as if to finish.

“Beep! (「Great Windfall」)!!!”

Quang-!!!

As the large wind mace struck Mahit, the speed of his fall, which was already fast, accelerated.

Ssssstt

Mahit finally fell at a speed exceeding 400 km/h──

Kwaaang──!!!

──They were eliminated, leaving behind a huge crater on the ground.
