Chapter 215 – Principality of Morph
“Basically, spirits tend to follow those who have a lot of maternal love. It means that they want to be affectionately loved by an adult woman with a mature body. That means that Wendy has the gift of spiritism.”
“So, are you saying that spirits follow me when they see my chest?”
“Kuhmm…! You must follow her by looking only at her chest. You can say that she fell in love with Wendy’s benevolent personality.”
Wendy blushed as I pointed her finger at her bountiful milk bag. Did she point her finger too naked? If she was down to earth she might have been reported for sexual harassment!
But a big fucking pain is a symbol of motherly love. All that aside, there’s nothing more explanatory than pointing at a boobies.
“Eh… I’m very happy. If I had discovered that I had talent 10 years earlier, I would have lived a good life.
“Isn’t it 10 years ago when the body wasn’t yet ripe? The spirits wouldn’t have followed you well back then?”
“You were in good shape in the old days, Mr. Luke.”
Even when you were in your teens, you said your strong mids and hips were the same? Holly Shack! Was this person gifted with Missy’s talent from birth? Suddenly my mouth waters.
On this trip, Wendy was definitely my party member. Until now, she had a strong impression that she was a non-combatant, but seeing her commanding spirits in droves was enough to raise her perception as a combatant.
A total of 10 lower spirits.
Two intermediate level spirits.
There are twelve spirits in all that Wendy summoned through the Spirit Amulet. It’s like Wendy alone possessing a squad-level force.
She, of course, was new to spiritism, so her firepower might not come out as well as she thought. We also have to consider the situation where her chain of command is entangled by her failure to communicate.
“Wendy, please practice controlling the spirits from today. You shouldn’t try to give too complex commands from the start. Treat her spirits with the mindset of raising another child.”
“She suddenly has a dozen more children to raise…! Maybe she should change her job to a daycare teacher.”
“I envy the children. I hope Wendy raises me too.”
“Yes?”
“Ah, I’m speechless. I hope you raise the spirits well.”
Inadvertently, her inner feelings came out.
The little boy hanging on to Wendy got jealous when he saw her lower spirits.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to pamper Wendy too! She was the woman who might be my mother! Is it all if her appearance is cute? Spooky spirits!
“…Why do you look at the spirits with envy? Luke-sama.”
“I’m really envious. In fact, I want you to hug me too. I want to be hugged by Wendy with all her strength.”
“Whoa… Come over here.”
Hug me.
Eventually, when she revealed her true feelings, Wendy understood me as if that could be the case. I ran over and hugged Wendy with her open arms. Wendy had a demonic charm that made her pamper even with grown men.
“Hey, it’s healing…!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Thank you for your help, Luke.”
She instinctively buried her face in her voluptuous bosom. The feeling of a soft mamma pain transmitted through a thin piece of fabric. I feel like I’m going to fly to heaven. It was such a fantastic feeling that I almost saw a vision before my eyes.
‘Kid clothes!’
Like a tango woman from the Iberian Peninsula.
She felt the woman looked familiar.
I see such an absurd scenery.
If I were her breast sommelier, I would no doubt have judged Wendy on her SSS level. It’s too bad that I can’t savor the taste myself.
“Whenever I have time, I’ll give you advice on spiritism. I’ve learned the theory of spiritism quickly. It’s enough for me to hug you like you do now.”
“School, you just need to hug me for tuition? It feels like Luke is losing too much.”
“It’s a dog’s gain.”
If your mouth is soft, you can be hugged by Wendy and go to her healing camp. Actually, the dog gain is a joke, and he was a benefactor who helped me a lot in the past. I’m not ignorant enough to betray grace.
So, I broke up with Wendy after making a promise to guide her in spiritism. She taught her how to manipulate the magic tool to cancel the summoning of her spirits, so Wendy didn’t disturb her sleep.
Now is the time to really go to bed.
You should get enough sleep in preparation for tomorrow’s operation.
*
10 a.M. The next day.
Before departing for the Aedra Hotel, we once again gathered in Director Gasta’s office. While explaining the outline of the operation, I told everyone about the changes that had taken place in Wendy. Thanks to the spirit magic talent, there are more spirits that can be commanded.
“The little spirits are really crowded! This is all because the receptionist unnie called them. If these kids get together, you can rob ordinary people, right? How helpful is that?”
“It should be enough to draw attention from the front. Spirits end up being reverse-summoned to the spirit realm even if they take serious damage.”
“It’s nice to have more people to charge with!”
The one who was most delighted with Wendy’s news was Rebecca, who was in charge of her avant-garde. If you charge with the spirits, it’s only natural that your survival rate will increase.
“…It’s so cute! Can’t I touch it?”
“A stranger may bite you if you touch it.”
“Ugh…”
No, I think they just like the spirits because they look cute. If it was charging with the ferocious Orcs, Rebecca’s morale would have fallen for some reason. Rebecca twitched her fingers, anxious to touch her spirits.
“You’re well aware that your party’s strength has increased. Having two magic users is definitely noteworthy. I’ll explain the plan of the operation from now on.”
Gasta laid out a map of the Aedra Hotel on the office table. A blueprint for a hotel obtained from Hamel’s office. The entrance to the interior and the structure of the floors were described in detail.
“Our office sent two raiding parties into the hotel raid operation. The first raiding party has the role of breaking through the defending forces at the front gate of the hotel. The second raiding party enters the back gate of the hotel with a time difference and attacks the upper floors. Our ultimate goal is to subdue the leader of Nostalgia on the top floor of the Aedra Hotel.”
“Where can we work?”
“You guys, support the 2nd raid. You will need the firepower of a mage to advance to the top floor. I plan to move with Vice-Captain Haren as well.”
Deputy Commander Haren was a werewolf beastman armed with a tonfa. Gasta had a thick ax hanging from his back, and both were warriors who knew how to handle mana. If you consider the superior physical abilities of the beastmen, you won’t be caught by them.
“It’s about time. Let’s go to the Aedra Hotel. The raid members we’ve put on standby will be waiting for us.”
We left for the Aedra Hotel following Gasta. As time passed and it was noon, we joined the engineering crew from the office in a dark back alley overlooking the hotel.
“Weren’t there any troops sneaking out of the hotel?”
“Yes, warden! From last night until now, no members have come out of the building.”
The engineers at the Hamel Office, covered in animal hair, reported the situation. As the time to be put into operation approached, a tense atmosphere was evident among the engineering corps members.
“As you all know, a wizard from Galarhorn’s headquarters came to support us. There’s no need to be too afraid to deal with a magic society. It’s a talent guaranteed by Bugilma.”
Wizard.
Talent guaranteed by Bugilma.
The eyes of the engineers were immediately drawn to me.
“That smooth-looking guy is a wizard…?”
“Looking at their appearance, they look very young, right? Aren’t all talented wizards no-nonsense?”
He looked at me with suspicious eyes. That’s because wizards can only show off their wizardly majesty when they are old. If a young, blue-eyed fellow is a wizard, you’d have no choice but to doubt it.
“See what?”
“I’m sorry!”
I didn’t bother to explain my skills to the engineers. If we fight together, the misunderstanding will be resolved. If you throw a frozen party in the middle of enemy lines, your credibility will increase.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay, Master Mister.”
Speaking briefly, Gasta nodded. According to Gasta’s order, the 1st raiding party departed from the front door of the hotel. When the adventurers armed with blades appeared, the reaction immediately returned.
“What kind of bastards! If you approach any more, I’ll make you a whole roast!”
They are guards blocking the front door of the hotel. Members of the magical society Nostalgia. As a wanderer, the costumes of the members do not give off the feeling of being wizards at all. However, I could feel the faint energy of mana from them.
“Just kill them all!”
Fain! All kinds of magic projectiles were fired at the engineering crew.
Casting speed is quite fast for wandering wizards! It’s not like we thought it was an armed group that could be looked down upon.
The engineers hiding in the cover in front of the main gate immediately responded with arrows. Indeed, like seasoned adventurers, even if they engage in firefights with wizards, they are not easily pushed back.
‘Suddenly it’s time for us to move too.’
I mingled among the engineers and secretly approached the back door of the hotel. Thanks to hiding in the bushes around the hotel, there was no detection.
“…I can see the guys guarding the rear. When I send a signal, let’s all charge together.”
As Gasta said, members of Nostalgia could be seen at the back door of the hotel. The members are vigilantly standing vigilantly, as if they had heard the news of a battle.
“If we can’t subdue it at once, we’ll call in reinforcements. Nostalgia says they’re building a communication network between the members. Don’t give them a chance to contact you.”
“Speed is life.”
The time has come to test the new magic he has developed. Before I heard the signal, I focused my mind.
The cold element flowing from the staff was compressed onto the palm.
“Hagalaz-.”
The principle of the ancient magic [Quick Freeze] Is to coat the staff with pure cold element.
Depending on my control power, it is possible to separate cold air elements.
The large amount of elements that had been fixed in form by the barrier spell had changed into a cannonball-like form before I knew it.
[Frozen Orb]
A new magic created by combining ancient magic and common magic.
It is a structure that delays explosion by compressing the cold element and overlaying a thin barrier on top of it.
You can call it a cooling grenade that freezes enemies in a wide area.
“Start suppression!”
It was the moment Gasta sent the signal.
I stood out from the grass and threw the [Frozen Orb] Towards the back door of the hotel.
The [Frozen Orb] Flew in a parabola and crashed into the hotel entrance floor. A commotion was caused by a sphere that fell from the sky.
“What, what is this?!”
“It’s magic! Avoid!”
The members of Nostalgia tried to run away when they saw the blue orb rolling on the floor. Apparently, the magicians sensed the danger of the sphere.
I tried to disperse, but the blast of cold air was faster.
Pew-!
Cold air flowed endlessly from the shattered barrier.
Cold elements that flowed like pure white mist covered objects they touched with ice.
“Ah…!”
“Say, live…”
I don’t even have time to scream.
The members who opened their mouths were trapped in the ice and became frozen humans.
In real time, icicles form on the outer wall of the building and an ice sheet is formed.
30% of the guards guarding the back gate were eliminated.
The rest of the members are in a state where they can’t move easily because of the cold.
A charge now could annihilate them.
“Do, turn around!”
“The wizard is with you!”
Engineering members belatedly rushed in and dealt with the incapacitated members.
I mingled with them and broke the frozen frozen people with my cane.
I thought I felt a gaze from somewhere.
Director Gasta was staring at me with a surprised expression.
“Bur, Mr. Master…? Didn’t you say you were fighting up close?”
“Until yesterday, we stuck together and fought. From today, I think it’s okay to keep a distance from the enemy. I’ll practice keeping a moderate distance.”
Thanks to the newly developed magic, it is now possible to act as a one-hander with freezing magic.
