Episode 219: The Blood Baragi (3)
According to the interrogation of the fake patients who remained in the village, the Daeju were actively involved in the various secret criminal activities of the chief, but they knew nothing about the Ma-byeong.
However, there was no guarantee that the commander would not have cavalry just because his subordinates did not have cavalry. He could have monopolized it all by himself. After all, the only one who was certain to be a member of the Demon Sect was Gaunt.
So Galen must have naturally taken into account the situation where Gaunt was setting up a cavalry force.
It was just that the limitations of the cavalry themselves were clear, so I just kept that in mind and didn’t pay much attention to it.
‘But this is a different story.’
Galen’s eyes sparkled, like a man in front of a delicious feast.
In the meantime, I had seen so many silver warriors carrying mass-produced horsemen and pretending to be gold, so I thought Gaunt was just another one of those.
Even if mass-produced horsemen were invisible on the outside, if someone happened to touch them, they would be immediately revealed to be horsemen, so it didn’t seem like Gaunt would be stupid enough to openly use them and pretend to be a golden warrior.
In other words, there was a high probability that Gaunt originally had real gold skills and was hiding special-purpose magic weapons that were not mass-produced. Just like Davia was originally a golden magician and used special crystal balls as auxiliary batteries.
So, the status window is saying that the spiral circulation is the result of a clash with some magic that is on the magic bottle… … .
‘I guess I’ll have to look into this a bit more.’
Thanks to the Jewel Wizard’s accelerated thinking, it only took a split second for the judgment to be made up to this point.
Gaunt, who had been attempting a decisive blow, was momentarily out of alignment when his sword slash missed.
Galen turned the magic of the spiral vortex again.
Kwaaaaah!
As the distance narrowed, a stronger whirlwind shot toward Gaunt.
Perhaps because he felt that there was no point in hiding his power once it had been unleashed, Gaunt confronted it head on instead of avoiding the magic.
Swaaaah!
Once again, the horseman’s sword blade shook with a strange sound.
Of course it would have shaken since he swung it quickly, but to Galen’s eyes, it looked a little… distorted.
And the whirlwind split apart.
Unlike before, Galen, who had been concentrating his senses from the beginning, was able to perceive the situation more clearly.
‘Extinction… no, it’s a little different.’
It can only be called annihilation if it is a miracle of selection that completely turns the power that the priest himself did not permit back into nothing.
It was different from the Death Mist. That was a magic that used one’s own magic to eat away at the opponent’s magic power and cancel it out. It felt like they were both destroying each other.
From the beginning, it was different from their method of aiming for ‘magic power itself’.
The sense of spiral circulation that reads the flow of air and the sense of water manipulation that reads the change in moisture responded simultaneously.
[Vanity Heat Lv.??]
[Progress to next level ???%]
There is even a slight heat wave shaking there.
I was starting to get a sense of what the horseman was up to.
‘Let’s change shifts before that.’
At best, the swordsmanship of a mass-produced horseman with a golden chin strap would be blocked with a laugh by the Earthbound protective shield.
That looks a bit dangerous.
There was no need to make things worse for Lilia, who always warned me not to let my guard down and intentionally get hit, relying on my defenses.
[Earth: Vibration: Manipulation]
[Pseudo-reflux]
The magic of the raised earth flowed into the ground through Galen’s feet.
Gaunt’s body swayed as he cut off the whirlwind and rushed straight towards Galen. How could he keep his balance when the ground slid sideways the moment he stepped on it?
“Huh?!”
The value of the primordial spirit comes from the fact that it possesses independent magical powers while also possessing a smart ego.
To put it simply, it’s amazing that he automatically supports Galen to the best of his ability without you even having to pay attention to him, but his fighting power doesn’t surpass Galen’s. It’s just a level that’s exactly copied from Galen’s.
In short, whatever the primordial spirit could do, Galen could do as well.
Sssssss!
The ground, which was constantly shaking as if it were waves, caught Gaunt’s ankles.
As soon as I tried to take even a single step forward, the ground would slip, and if I hesitated even for a moment, sand would shoot up and threaten to grab my ankles.
It looks exactly like the one over there where Gleba is interfering with the young man who was caught.
But there was a crucial difference between the two.
Galen was as skilled as Gleba, but Gaunt was not as skilled as the young man who had been caught.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh.”
The golden pole, the countercurrent, was a ‘disturbing’ effect to the jewel-level warrior, but it was ‘fatal’ in itself to the golden warrior.
What good is holding a fearsome sword that kills on contact? It’s not like it can cut through the ground.
Wheeeeeeing!
The young man who was supposed to help Gaunt was still tied up. It was because Galen had switched his magic and sent the spiral vortex in that direction.
Gleba was already playing with the ground and causing trouble, but the spiral vortex storm was an additional obstacle. The two mixed together and caused an unexpected sandstorm, making for an even more dazzling combination.
The sight reminded me of Michael, who had been caught in the past by the Golden Spirits of the Spirius family.
The ‘fair’ method of fighting by relying on pure physical force is useless if the opponent does not confront you head-on.
No matter how strong and fast you are as a Jewel Warrior, there is nothing you can do when the ground you are supposed to stand on shifts on its own and a strong wind blows that can easily blow a person’s weight into the air.
“Such a despicable act!”
The young man who was caught was furious. He said that Galen was doing very well.
I just thoroughly blocked that guy and aimed for Gaunt with a spiral circulation and alternating water flow manipulation.
Considering that he was already having trouble with the countercurrent alone, it was appropriate.
Wedge!
A large blob of water that covered the entire upper body was shot out like a cannonball. Even if it hit the sturdy golden warrior directly, it would not end with just a stinging sensation.
With the ground already so bumpy and the game of tag daunting, there was no way I would have time to avoid the water clumps.
Gaunt quickly swung his sword, thinking that it was fortunate that he had brought a cavalryman.
Swish!
Given the weight and speed of the water mass, it should have been followed by a large impact.
The blade not only sliced through the water mass without any resistance, like cutting through melted butter, but also completely annihilated the water in its path.
The water arrows that flew in succession were all blocked. The hundred or so arrows that were fired in a short period of time were cleanly erased.
Galen wasn’t surprised at all because it was an expected scene.
‘As expected.’
If there had been no hints, he might have thought about it a little more, but the status window that was shaking in real time was slowly revealing the answer to Galen.
The way I cut down the spiral flow earlier was close to forcibly canceling the magic by scattering the air itself that was supposed to be controlled by magic power.
It is not that he pressed down on the mass of water with force, nor did he interfere with the magical power that controls the water.
The water itself has evaporated.
Having fought fire-wielding opponents many times, Galen could easily see where this sensation came from.
‘It doesn’t have to have flames to be hot.’
Perhaps it is a form of tremendous heat condensed along the blade.
If you think about the magic of this world, which is more suitable than anything else for the words selection and focus, then the magic that is restricted to only operate within a localized range such as a blade would be even more terrifying in power.
‘If a Golden Warrior were to lift that, he would never lose to another Golden Warrior. If they had to fight directly, it’s not usually a vicious weapon.’
Considering that the water evaporates in an instant without even boiling, it doesn’t seem like it would be a good thing if it touched a human body.
I wonder if the weapon of the opponent I collided with is still intact. I wonder if they will rush in and melt the weapon if I say “Oh no.”
I was secretly glad that he arrived first, unlike Liliana Shamita, who I would never have to clash weapons with directly.
Suah! Suah! Suaah! Suaah!
Regardless of his thoughts, Galen continued to blow water, and Gaunt was also struggling to block it.
Even though the heat was concentrated only on the blade, it didn’t seem like it would be possible to control all the heat generated with each cut.
As expected, the air was getting warmer and warmer as time went by. Considering that the season was just around the corner, it was not an ordinary thing.
As this happened, Galen’s understanding also deepened. Fire and heat were properties that were not difficult to relate to each other.
“Hoo, hoo.”
Meanwhile, Gaunt was catching his breath, watching for an opportunity.
Galen’s water magic wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be for a gem. After getting used to it a little, I even thought it was worth using.
Of course, it was absurd that he was using multiple magics at the same time and dealing with him and the young man who was caught at the same time, but that was the case if we limited it to water magic. Either he didn’t have the strength or he was underestimating him.
So hold on. Gaunt believed that one chance would come before he became more exhausted or before the cavalry’s strength was exhausted.
Soon his faith was rewarded.
“Hmm.”
Galen’s faint groan was picked up by Gaunt’s sensitive hearing. Galen was frowning.
Immediately afterwards, the offensive weakened.
It wasn’t something that was immediately noticeable, but it was definitely noticeable to the people who were watching.
The water magic had been holding up well since a while ago, and the earth magic that had been harassing me so much that I couldn’t even breathe was creaking a little. It felt like the beat was off.
Gaunt watched for a moment, wondering if it was a deliberate loophole, but then his five senses detected a change in a different direction.
Pfft!
The young man who was caught finally shook off the obstacle. The young man quickly sprinted through the gap in the wind and closed the distance in the blink of an eye.
It must have been breached because either the earth magic or the wind magic was weak.
Where could there be a trap that opens on both sides? Gaunt, who intuitively sensed this was a golden opportunity, immediately leapt forward.
“Ta-at!”
The young man’s claw-like fingers looked ready to tear apart anything, and Gaunt’s black blade looked ready to cut down anything that got in his way.
They were aiming for Galen from both the left and right almost simultaneously, sparing no effort as if they didn’t care if they were swept away by each other.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
If there was only one thing they were mistaken about.
Galen wasn’t intentionally showing a gap, he was actually distracted. The two of them clearly hit the gap accurately.
However, Galen had already anticipated and prepared for situations where concentration would be disrupted.
Because no matter how much Galen concentrated, the primordial spirit was not affected.
Wow!
Tenebrae, who had quietly returned to Galen’s hood after moving the fairy woman, released her magic. A pitch-black darkness suddenly rose up.
Just before the youth and Gaunt’s attack could hit Galen, Galen, who was completely covered in darkness, disappeared.
During the day, there were many restrictions and the magic efficiency was terrible, so it was difficult to use it freely, but it was okay to use it once at a crucial moment.
“Ugh!”
“also?”
It doesn’t matter if they get swept up in each other, as long as Galen is within range of the attack. Otherwise, it’s just stupidity for them to stab each other. The young man and Gaunt hastily slowed down their offensive.
At the same time, I quickly looked around. Forward, backward, left, right. There was nothing there.
Only then did I look up.
Galen, who was floating leisurely in the air, had already charged his magical power.
The magic power of the heat wave, no, the heat of flame, that had just finished evolving.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
An explosion occurred between the young man who had been thinking only about water, land, and wind and Gaunt.
The results of the explosion, mixed with high-temperature flames, were even more horrific than before.
Even more so because they couldn’t completely evade it because of Gleba, who was still underground and hindering their movements until that moment.
Galen, who had been looking down indifferently, slightly twisted the corners of his mouth.
Gaunt, who had collapsed with burns all over his body and was covered in wounds, was, I’m sorry, no longer of interest.
Galen muttered, meeting the gaze of the young man who was looking up at him with murderous eyes.
“Somehow, it didn’t seem like a human baby.”
