Episode 145 Erased Name (8)
The armored monster referred to the abyss of the forest, and although Galen did not know its exact identity, he understood it to be something like a deadly poison, and it was like an assassin.
Because I didn’t even know I was poisoned until the toxin destroyed my body.
Even if Galen was dull and didn’t know, didn’t the priests who had the five senses equivalent to a warrior when using the miracle of the strong body also not notice the presence of the poison and thought it was a plague?
It may have been a bit weak in lethality since it didn’t kill immediately upon contact, but its stealth was top-notch.
However, after acquiring the Death Mist and opening up new senses, I was finally able to perceive the depths of the forest.
With only just learned and rudimentary senses, he could barely detect the poison inside his own body.
That’s why it was too late to realize it.
“… … Huh?”
“Why is that?”
“Brother, is the other person’s world still shaking?”
“Yes? Oh, yes. It’s getting worse and worse. Won’t it go completely out of style soon?”
“Is that why… … ? No. It feels a little different… … .”
“What is it?”
“I feel like I’m getting another unpleasant feeling, separate from what I’ve been feeling so far. I’m not sure what it is either… … .”
Lilia, who was born with a special sense of innateness, felt something faint first, but since it was just a feeling, she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
However, Galen, who knew very well how good Lilia’s intuition was, did not ignore her words and carefully checked her senses once more, so he was able to notice it just barely.
Of course, it was already too late.
When the sense of the sloppy death fog worked so hard that it finally discovered the abyss of the forest, the poison that had spread through the wind was already about to be inhaled into Galen’s respiratory tract.
The ability to control the body and stop breathing in that split second was an impossible feat for a wizard.
“Cluck, cluck!”
Since she was nearby, she was naturally affected. Lilia, who had taken a deep breath, immediately coughed violently.
It’s not like a priest is immune to poison. They can only remove most poisons with the miracle of purification, and even poisons that are not easily removed can be removed with the help of the miracle of vitality and the miracle of healing.
A priest like Lilia had tremendous holy power within her body, so she could respond immediately to any poison, no matter how strong it was, if it entered her body.
However, Lilia experienced a momentary shaking before her eyes. It was an incredibly strong poison.
Lilia quickly turned her head away, spitting out black blood filled with poison that she had pushed out with all her might.
If she, a high-ranking bishop, is like this―
“Kuheuk!”
“Brother!”
Lilia quickly caught Galen as he fell, clutching his chest and spitting out blood.
The decision was made in an instant. Lillia hugged Galen’s waist and jumped back.
Lilia took a few dozen steps back in one leap, gained some distance, and supported Galen diagonally as she poured out her holy power.
“Coolook, coolook!”
Galen continued to vomit blood. He was taller, and Lilia was slightly lowering herself and hugging him from the front, so Galen was leaning on her shoulder. Every time the blood flowed back, the shoulders and back of his pure white robes turned dark red.
“Brother! Come to your senses! Brother!”
Lilia didn’t care about those clothes. She continued to pour out her power and called out to Galen urgently. If she lost consciousness here, she might never wake up again.
Despite undergoing Hamel’s treatment several times, the remaining poison still persistently tormented Galen.
The new poison that came in was incomparably worse.
Even the strongest warriors and priests are at risk, and magicians and ordinary people can die within a few dozen seconds.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Fortunately, Lilia’s actions were so swift and powerful that Galen barely managed to stay conscious.
In the meantime, I mobilized all of the magical power of the Death Mist, which had recovered slightly, to prevent the poison from rising up to my neck. As long as my head was intact, I could use magic in any way.
“Lee, Lilia.”
“Don’t talk!”
“Okay, cool!”
Galen, who had vomited blood again and felt slightly better, asked despite Lilia’s protests.
“That strange feeling you said you felt earlier. Did you feel the poison?”
“I think so.”
Galen’s brain spun at full speed. The extreme concentration momentarily pushed the pain aside.
In the slowed time caused by the acceleration of thought, chains of thoughts are connected one by one.
She was shocked when she heard that Galen was poisoned. It means that she had not even thought about the poison itself.
But the armored monster had been spraying poison into the air from the beginning. That’s why Galen was poisoned, why the other residents collapsed, and why Hamel endured the poison while being treated.
If Lilia, who was born with a special sense, still did not feel the invasion of the poison.
It must be because of what happened before she arrived―
‘fire.’
Galen, who found the answer, raised his magic power.
The power of the stars flowing from the bracelet was mixed in half with the magic of the Vanity Flame.
Hwarrrrrr!
The fire that started right before Galen’s eyes spread with fierce momentum. He focused only on the flames, excluding the explosion.
As he ran forward, he simultaneously expanded his force to the sides. The flames swirled like waves, increasing in size.
Suddenly, Lilia looked back in surprise as it became brighter. Galen, who had turned around with her, smiled and whispered.
“Can you help me out? I need to be able to see you so I can start the fire.”
“Oh, yes!”
Lilia quickly changed her position. She was supporting Galen while facing him, but now she put her arm around his neck as if she was putting her arm around his shoulder. Now, the two of them were facing the same direction.
“I think I’ll live a little bit.”
“Don’t force yourself to move.”
“Even if I want to move, Lilia is holding me back.”
“Don’t move, that’s why.”
I finally regained enough energy to have a conversation. This was thanks to Lilia still pouring her energy into me in real time.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the meantime, the flames had completely engulfed the mound of dirt in a dome shape and were burning like a huge tomb of flames. It was a spectacular sight.
The original Vanity Flame of the Burtain family was mainly focused on explosions, but through a fight with Ventis, who was handling the Flame Soldiers, the Vanity Flame evolved and became capable of directly manipulating flames in this way. It was very useful in such situations.
Galen muttered softly.
“While preparing the giant clay doll, I set fire to the surrounding area to cover its eyes. It seems that the poison in the area was all burned away at that time.”
“Come to think of it, we cremate corpses and burn objects to prevent the spread of diseases. Dokdo is also vulnerable to fire.”
“They said that he had so much venom in his body that he could poison those around him just by breathing… I wonder if all of that venom was released at once.”
“Even though it was buried in a grave, if the poison that came out was this bad… I can understand the damage caused by the Great Plague. But how on earth did it survive with that much poison in it?”
“Well. I think there’s a limit to how much you can press with magic power. No, wait?”
Galen, who was speaking, stopped.
I was absentmindedly wondering if the poison the armored monster had been holding inside of him had exploded all at once while being crushed to death.
“Come to think of it, this guy isn’t dead yet?”
The bastard’s revised world was still alive, albeit unstable.
The moment Galen realized that again.
Pusssssssss!
Galen felt the magic of the Vanity Flame being fiercely torn away.
Some of the flames that had covered the mountain were extinguished.
At the same time, the spirit that was still crouching on the earthen mountain also began to collapse.
“What the hell.”
“There’s something like fog over the grave!”
“That’s his magic.”
A to-san is just a huge mound of dirt. It is not a water-tight iron wall.
Fortunately, the armored monster did not seem to have escaped directly, but the abyss of the forest and the fog of death inevitably made their way through the cracks in the earthen mountain.
The golden level Vanity Flame and Spirit Creation were barely able to resist the jewel level fog.
Galen restored the lost flame and forcefully pushed away the fog, while giving orders to the spirits.
Choaaaah!
The cat’s appearance suddenly became clumsy and simple. Soon, the spirit transformed into a form that looked like an oversized rice bowl turned upside down.
A huge lid made of thick walls of water covered the entire tomb.
The death fog that kept coming out between the dirt grains continued to gnaw at the spirit’s body. Galen forcibly fixed the spirit’s form using water manipulation to stop it.
At first glance, it was a reenactment of the scene before the armored monster was buried.
A battle between the fog trying to spread out and the waves trying to stop it.
“Oh, oh, oh.”
But upon closer inspection, it was different.
The magic power of water manipulation and the magic power contained in the fog were in a tense antagonism.
The condensed poison that flowed out mixed with the fog was melting the spirit’s body.
“Does that make sense?!”
Lilia was shocked. No, if you put poison in water, it should become poisonous. Why would the water itself evaporate?
“I wonder if the poison and the fog are interacting in some way… No, more than that… This is a big problem… … .”
Galen gritted his teeth.
If there was only fog, you could hold it with water flow control, and if there was only poison, you could burn it with a heat wave.
But since the two were mixed together, it was impossible to deal with them. You can’t mix water and fire.
The lid made of spirits was gradually melting and becoming thinner. The size of the spirits, which were already sufficiently large, could not be increased indefinitely.
If the lid ever breaks open and the condensed poison spreads everywhere, Cairo will become a ghost town.
“What’s going on!”
At that moment, Hamel came running. He had returned to command the scene outside the sealed area, and was surprised to see the huge tomb of flames.
“It looks like he’s making his last desperate attempt. If we make a mistake, we’ll all end up dead there.”
Galen quickly explained the situation. Hamel’s face turned black and dead.
“What, what could be the problem?”
“We have no choice but to evacuate the residents as far east as possible. I will buy as much time as possible. If we can exhaust the magic power that maintains the fog, we can burn away the poison.”
Of course, there was no way to know when the armor monster’s magic power would run out.
I can only guess that it won’t last long since he’s probably squeezing out his magic power desperately.
But now, he had no choice but to rely on that uncertainty. The only person who could stop the magic of the gem was Galen, who was also a gem.
Hamel was about to nod with a heavy face.
“Just a moment.”
Lilia opened her mouth.
“That’s the point, right? All that matters is that the opponent’s magic disappears. The problem is that you never know when that might disappear.”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Then let me try just one. Bishop Hamel, could you take care of my brother’s treatment for a moment?”
“That’s not difficult, but what are you going to do?”
Hamel asked. Lilia turned to Galen and said.
“Brother, you said earlier, right? That I always try my best. So don’t regret the results of your choices.”
“Oh, yes.”
“To be honest, I think that in the future, if something goes wrong, I will still regret it, whether I did my best or not.”
Lilia paused for a moment and then smiled brightly.
“That’s true, but if you discuss it with your brother and decide, I don’t think anything will go wrong! It’s always been that way, right?”
Because he had come to trust Galen infinitely, he also came to not doubt Galen’s judgment that trusted him.
As a result, it is reborn with a strong confidence in itself.
Although it was different from the usual form, it was also a form of absolute faith.
Bullfight!
As if the sound of a drum made a heart pound, a strange vibration centered around Lilia spread to the surrounding area.
“So it must be like that now too!”
The eighth miracle occurred in the midst of unshakable faith.
