Episode 213 Sky Fairy (4)

The expression “taste” may sound a bit strange, but since Dark Fairy Tales deals with darkness like hands and feet, wouldn’t it not be completely wrong to say “taste”?

Anyway, the darkness controlled by the pitch-black magic was under Galen’s perfect control, so he could easily detect it.

Dark Fairy Tale has definitely welcomed its guests.

But the result was quite strange.

The same doubts that Lilia had been harboring until just now also bloomed in Galen’s mind.

In martial arts, there are techniques that allow you to deflect or deflect attacks by cleverly controlling the point of impact.

But that’s… no, the guest was a magician to begin with, so there’s no point in discussing martial arts techniques. I was momentarily confused because he was stabbing me with a dagger.

“Is it okay if I switch?”

“It doesn’t matter! There will be another chance.”

Lilia naturally slid back and stepped back. Galen smiled and thanked her when she returned to his side.

Of course, I wasn’t just sitting there playing around. It was obvious what would happen if I left an opponent more agile than Lilia alone for even a moment.

Shhh shhh shhh shhh!

Tenebrae was already standing on Galen’s shoulders, hurling dark fairy tales at him.

The pitch-black spirit grabs hold of the darkness and swings it around. A pitch-black blade that is barely visible falls towards the guest.

The guest easily avoided the blow by simply taking a step back, but at that moment, the next blade had already flown into the space the guest had avoided.

And then again, at that moment, the guest had already left. The second blade missed, and a third gathered in the spot where the blade had passed.

The circus was on. It looked tense, but the guests didn’t allow a single attack. They were pushed back, but it didn’t matter much since they could re-approach in an instant anyway.

Galen, who had been watching the workshop for a while, quickly exchanged thoughts with Tenebrae.

Shhh!

I used magic at the same time as Tenebrae. The sound of the wind parting was exactly the same.

The space where the guests were retreating to avoid Tenebrae’s blade was already occupied by Galen’s blade. This could not be avoided.

But I avoided it.

The guest twisted his body to the side, allowing the blades that were stabbing him from both the front and the back to dodge forward and backward at the same time.

“That’s not what you were aiming for, is it?”

Lilia, who had been watching the guest’s technique from a distance, asked softly. Galen answered with a bitter smile.

“No way.”

Of course, I had no intention of killing him, but there was also no reason to take his injuries into consideration since this wasn’t a friendly sparring situation.

Their stalking wasn’t all that bad, but wasn’t it the other party who completely blocked any chance of conversation and started stabbing them?

Pavababababak!

Even in the meantime, similar joint attacks continued.

Lilia muttered as she watched the guest who continued to avoid her in the same way.

“A difference of just a sheet of paper? It feels like that thin gap can’t be penetrated. Not when I attack, not when you attack.”

“Yes. If I had to be specific… it’s something that forces attacks to miss.”

In terms of the game, it’s not that the controls are amazing so you can avoid attacks, but rather that the evasion rate stat is so high that even if you get hit, it feels like a miss.

That could also be considered a kind of protective shield. According to Lilia, it’s like Earthbinding, wrapping magical power around the entire body to protect it.

The magical shield called ‘Liberation of the Sky’ twists the magic on this side and prevents direct attacks. Considering that Lilia’s Glowing Sword also flowed, it seems to apply to physical attacks as well.

Well, it wasn’t like I felt particularly lost.

Because I could immediately think of a way to destroy it.

If only Lilia had used the Miracle of Selection, the battle wouldn’t have turned out like before.

Galen can use Death Mist. If he just weakens the effect, it won’t be like now where everything misses.

‘Or maybe we can prevent evasion altogether?’

Galen paused for a moment, his magic stabbing the guest in the back.

While Tenebrae alone stabs the guest in front.

The pitch-black magic that spread widely around took hold of the entire space in an instant.

Kwaaak!

Dark fairy tales in places without light show off their power comparable to water manipulation on the sea. This is a story of when they are on the same level.

A dark prison that surrounded the guest’s entire body without any blind spots at all.

But immediately afterwards, a guest who seemed unaffected except for being slightly slower spun around in place.

Chomp!

The magic power in the darkness was easily cut through like a knife cutting through water. The trajectories of the daggers held in both hands met and completed a circle.

The guest’s body slipped through the crack in the weakened restraints. It was as if some kind of oil had been applied to it.

“her.”

Galen burst out laughing.

Is that because the insubstantial darkness was given substance through magic?

Since we’re above the sky, we can’t use dirt. Let’s try using water.

Or, let’s try strengthening the darkness a bit more.

Galen glared at the guest who had calmly escaped and spread his pitch-black magic again.

[Pitch Black: Shadow: Manipulation]

[Dark Fairy Tale]

Just like before, the dark prison held the guest captive.

The guest also tried to escape in the same way.

At that moment, Galen twisted the nature of magic.

[Pitch Black: Heavy Pressure: Guardian]

[Earth Restraint]

The darkness that had already taken the shape of a prison suddenly became solid and heavy.

The Earth binding, which originally could not be expanded beyond the level of ‘covering the entire body’.

By using a kind of trick where you sprinkle pitch-black magic in advance with a dark fairy tale and then change its nature later, you showed an application method that even the original owner, the earth fairy, could not do.

I first tried it when I was dealing with Ivan in the Desert Ruins and it was pretty effective. The Darkness Shield was really strong.

“what?”

For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on the face of the customer who had been expressionless the whole time due to the strong restraint that was incomparable to before.

It seemed like it worked, since he couldn’t move right away.

After a while, Galen felt an unusual repulsion.

The pressure from the opponent’s magical power, transmitted through the pitch-black magical power, was exploding.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Instead of moving smoothly like before, it was a crushing, slashing motion with sheer force.

Just as the Earth Fairy is not invincible, the Earth Binding is not an invincible shield. If you push with an attack power greater than your defense power, it will naturally break.

Galen realized that his guest had finally revealed his true feelings.

In addition, if he can break the pitch-black magic of the golden pole with his strength, then his skill is definitely that of a jewel.

If the jewel wants to use its full power, Galen also has a hard time being idle. It was when he was preparing to use the water flow manipulation.

“you.”

The guest opened his mouth and pointed the dagger at Galen.

“Are you able to speak now?”

Galen stopped Tenebrae.

To be honest, I wanted to fight more because the progress of Sky Liberation was still far from reaching 100%.

Unless you intend to settle the matter on the spot, you cannot attack a guest who approaches you. Just because the other person did it earlier, you cannot do the same to Galen.

“You’re not trying to surprise me by talking to me, are you?”

“I wouldn’t do something so cowardly.”

“It would have been better if it had been like that from the beginning.”

“Who would have said anything? It would have been better if you guys hadn’t been following me in the first place.”

“That’s why I told you from the beginning that I had no intention of fighting.”

If both sides were at fault, then the one who started first was more at fault, so Galen quietly changed the subject.

“Anyway, do you feel like talking a little now?”

“Okay. What is your identity?”

The customer asked straight away without beating around the bush.

“Dark wizards are very rare. That’s why I tried to understand that it was possible for them to fly through the sky and chase me because it was night. But just now, I couldn’t understand it.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t act like a fool. Do you think I wouldn’t know even if I directly collided with your magic? The magic that controls darkness and the magic that solidifies darkness are completely different.”

“Oh, that one.”

Galen nodded.

“It’s another magic, but what’s the problem with that?”

“What?”

“If you’re pointing out that I use multiple magic spells, then I can do it.”

Galen held up his left index finger. A flame burst out of the tip of his finger, burning long and thin, before being extinguished by a stream of water that wrapped around his finger. Then the wind swung around his finger, scattering the smoke.

“… … .”

The customer’s expressionless face was completely broken and his mouth fell open. There were three types of magic that passed in a short time. It wasn’t a trick that could be created by tricking the eyes.

“… It wasn’t something like a cavalry?”

“Are there any fools who use horsemen next to priests?”

“that…….”

The guest who had barely opened his mouth could not finish his words. He had momentarily forgotten because of the impact of the wizard, but the priest had also used the miracle of light, so he was at least a bishop.

Although she did not believe in church or clergy like most people, she was well aware of her tendency to get involved in things related to the devil.

“… Are these really magic spells that you learned on your own?”

“That’s what I said.”

“Brother, you are such a genius!”

Lilia spoke proudly. The guest, who had been silent for a while, slowly opened his mouth again.

“Okay. Let’s say that’s true. If someone taught you, you must have learned it, right? Surely you didn’t just discover magic one day on your own without even knowing about it.”

“That’s true.”

“Then who taught you the magic to solidify darkness?”

“Do I really have to tell you?”

“If you don’t get the right answer, then you’re lying. I know whose magic it is.”

“Because you’re a sky fairy?”

Galen suddenly asked back.

The guest showed no reaction, but unfortunately, since his expressionless face had broken once before, he failed to perfectly control his expression.

“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Of course, there is no one like you among the few gem wizards. So what else can you say about not being human? Since the location is in the northwest, it is obvious that you are a sky fairy. You are too big for an earth fairy.”

“You speak as if you have met me before.”

“You asked me, ‘Who taught me the power of the earth?’ Now, do you have the answer?”

“… … .”

The customer who had been biting his lips slowly relaxed his shoulders.

“At least you’re not the type of person to tell shallow lies. Why on earth did you tail me and make things like this?”

“I’ve always wanted to meet the Sky Fairy. I happened to run into her, so I tried to chase after her, but I ended up not doing so.”

“Didn’t we meet once at the top of the building?”

“Yes, but.”

“How do you know my identity?”

“Just the atmosphere? To be honest, even the way you look is a bit out of the ordinary… … .”

“… Is it strange?”

“It’s not to the point of being strange, but it’s not completely invisible either.”

“I was inadequate.”

“Thanks to you, we were able to meet. What’s good is good.”

“You guys are lucky. Yeah, you got your wish, but what are you going to do now?”

“Can we talk for a bit?”

“Okay. Let’s go down.”

The three of them came to a cool agreement and slid down to the ground.

“Have you eaten?”

“I would have done it an hour ago if I hadn’t noticed that someone was following me.”

“It’s the same for us too.”

“You, you’re saying the obvious with such confidence?”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll pay you back with a car.”

“Tea? Here?”

The puzzled guest was astonished to see Galen instantly supplying water and fire to boil tea.

“He’s talented too.”

“No problem.”

I had no choice but to settle for a simple meal, but it was still better to have it with some warm tea.

I laid out a mat on the floor, created a temporary fire spirit, and placed it in the center as a substitute for a bonfire, and a somewhat comfortable place was created.

“Shamitada.”

“yes?”

“My name.”

The guest spoke briefly, and Shamita took off her hat.

The moment the unsightly hat that had been covering not only his ears but also the side of his face disappeared, his silver hair that had been gathered in a clump and not easily visible flowed down softly.

The long, pointed ears that had been pressed down by the hat were visible through the silver hair. The elf’s ears were also pointed than those of a human, but they were a bit longer.

“It’s nice that I don’t have to hide it. It’s just uncomfortable, so… … .”

Shamita, who had been grumbling, flinched slightly when her eyes met Lilia’s. This was because her eyes were shining brightly.

“Wow, you’re really pretty!”

“Oh, thank you. That’s quite direct, isn’t it?”

“Because it’s true!”

“You seem to be the most handsome human I’ve ever met. I haven’t met many humans, though.”

“Oh, thank you! It would have been better if you had left out the last part!”

“What is your name?”

“It’s Lilia! This is Brother Galen!”

“i look forward to.”

“They are the same.”

After exchanging greetings and eating a snack to relieve their hunger,

Shamita was the first to speak. It wasn’t just the two of them who were curious about the other person. Once they confirmed that they weren’t hostile, they couldn’t help but be curious.

“Is it rude to ask about your identities?”

“Not at all!”

“Well, I guess I’m kind of a celebrity. It’s not like it’s a secret.”

“With that skill, it would be hard not to be famous.”

“I am the Archbishop, and Brother Galen is a Gem-ranked mercenary!”

“I thought so… The age seems very strange. I don’t know much about it, but is it really the case that an archbishop and a jewel are a good match?”

“To be exact, we started hanging out together at first, and then we both grew up quickly, which is how this happened.”

“It’s too fast to just say it’s fast. But I guess pointing it out would be pointless.”

Although they didn’t bring up the miracle of selection or the world of revision, Shamita readily accepted the offer because the two’s performances were too high-level to be called golden.

“You weren’t originally active in this area, were you?”

“Yes! This is my first time here!”

“Is there any business you have here? Or just something?”

“You came here because you had something to do, right?”

“Hmm… … .”

“Why are you like that?”

“… If, after that business is over, you have some free time.”

Shamita hesitated for a moment and then spoke carefully.

“Can you help me out a little?”
