Chapter 317 – Drops of Enchantment #3

I flew with all my might, ripping through the air with the beat of my wings. Of course, I felt the resistance of the wind all over my body, so it was difficult to even open my eyes properly at first.
Kate, who is being held in my arms, is in tears because of the excessive speed.

“Aaaaa!”

Kate’s tears ricocheted into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As if observing the outside from inside the bus, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
When I stabilized my posture, I cast barrier magic at my body and at Kate.

[Force Barrier]

Magic that wraps the target’s body in a thin barrier.
As the transparent curtain was placed over my body, it was no longer difficult to receive the resistance of the wind with my whole body.
Kate, whose hair was fluttering, also carefully opened her eyes when the barrier was put on.

“Hey, are you okay now? I fly very fast, but I can’t feel the wind!”
“I put barrier magic on you and me. You know how to use a barrier with divine power.”
“Ah…! I was so scared that I forgot. I guess you could just use a barrier?”

Whoa!

We flew through the sky at high speed and arrived at Wolfrun Theater Road.
Looking down from the sky to the ground, he could grasp at a glance the number of Orcs infesting Theater Road.

“Mmm, they’re buzzing like locusts!”
“My skin color is green, of course.”

It is not a simple metaphor to say that it is teeming with locusts.
The green-skinned orcs running rampant on Theater Road looked like a swarm of locusts from above.
Orcs and grasshoppers are just as disgusting.

‘I’ll have to protect Rebecca and Princess Selma first.’

Rebecca and Princess Selma were still in the place they had seen in the video of Ego Book earlier.
Rebecca was standing with her back to the three-story theater building, blocking the crowd of orcs.
There were other samurai from Jakarta escorting Princess Selma, but the situation was not going well.

“Bake it!!”

Orcs are besieging Rebecca and Princess Selma!
Even if they were cut down one by one with a sword, new orcs would fill the void.
Because of the enormous quantity, it is impossible to escape from the same spot.

“Rebecca!”

I tried calling out my name, but my voice was lightly drowned out by the shouts of the orcs.
I quickly descended around the theater with Kate.
Although it descended with its wings fully spread, the recoil upon landing was great because of the speed it had so far flown.

Quaang!! Cracks formed on the asphalt road where I landed, like an earthquake.
If he hadn’t put a barrier around his body, his lower body would have been crippled.
As the roar of breaking roads rang out, all the eyes of the surrounding orcs focused on me.

“Bake it!”
“Blonde tanning…Dream… I’m going to kill it!”
“Kill it!! Kill it all!!”

The orcs, who went berserk as if they had drunk drugs, didn’t seem to be able to communicate at all.
It was possible to slaughter these guys as a group using attack magic, but I didn’t even want to kill them.

‘Aren’t these guys being manipulated by hallucination magic anyway? I want to keep him alive if possible.’

If I had been a second-class wizard, I wouldn’t have thought of saving the orcs.
If the only way to stop a riot was to slaughter, you would have to get your hands dirty.
However, having reached first-class territory, he could use magic to neutralize the mob without killing him.

If you can save people, shouldn’t you save them?
Even if he was an orc, he was a human in another world.

“Mo, Dreammaster! The Orcs are approaching!”
“I’m going to subdue all the orcs with magic. It takes time to cast, so protect me with holy magic.”
“Yes! Lord Baldur, give us a barrier to protect ourselves from evil!”

The moment Kate recited the prayer, a wide barrier in the form of a sphere appeared around us.
It was a spherical barrier that boasted the highest durability among the barriers that Kate could use now.
Orcs came in droves and started attacking the barrier, but they were able to take some time.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

‘The pressure is great! Would you believe it if I said it was a zombie, not an orc?’

However, it was shocking to see the pig-headed orcs tightly clinging to the barrier.
I was amazed at the Orcs who were drooling and trying to bite the barrier with their teeth because they couldn’t swing their fists.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, and cast the spell.
If you freeze the orcs using the freezing magic that you have always used, there will be no choice but to die one after another.
As he reached a first-class level, he learned a new wood attribute rune magic.

[Lasso tree]

A rune magic that summons a giant tree and makes its roots spring up, binding enemies as a group.
[Noose Tree] Is perfect for incapacitating large crowds.
It was because the amount of roots spewed out from the giant tree summoned by magic was beyond imagination.

“Berkano!”

The moment he recited the runes that signify plant growth in the starting language, the magic was activated.

Kugu Palace!

A huge tree swelled up in front of my eyes with a trembling sound like an earthquake.
When the tree rose up, the orcs that were swarming there were helplessly thrown out.

“Kwyiyiik!!”
“A tree?! A tree has risen from the ground!”

It was amazing to see the [Noose Tree] Grow to the extent that the eyes of the orcs and citizens who were causing a fight around it were focused at once.
It is like watching the birth of a giant tree with a high-speed camera.

Chaaaaagh!

At first, the tree, which looked like a pillar, split and countless branches sprouted from the top.
Instead of water and sunlight, he was absorbing my mana and rapidly increasing his size.

“What the hell is going on?!”
“Three, is this a sign that the world is about to end?”

The panicked citizens even screamed at the noose tree.
I don’t have time to explain one by one.
Trees with branches stretched high into the sky grew thick green leaves.

After reaching a whopping 20M in height, the snare tree stopped growing.
It was about the same height as a six-story building.
Since such a formidable giant tree suddenly appeared in the middle of the city, there was bound to be a commotion.

“Eject the roots! Bind all the pig-headed orcs so they can’t move. If possible, I’d like to shut up their noisy mouths.”

I gave an order to the lasso tree that was finally born.
At that moment, the ground shook and the asphalt road split open.

The earthquake was not caused by magic.
The roots of the snare tree, which had been buried under the ground, were rising toward the ground.

Charrrr!!

Hundreds of thick roots crawled on the ground as if they had a will to catch their prey.
Roots were entangled in the bodies of the rioting orcs.

“Kwyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!”
“Kkuiik!! This, let go of this! Let go of the fuck!!”

The forearm-sized roots violently tied the limbs of the orcs.
The orcs resisted by twisting their bodies, but it was almost impossible to break free from the tangle of the noose tree.
Because the strength of the roots could never be cut off with the strength of an ordinary person.

“Uuuuu…!!”

The roots that succeeded in binding the body shut the mouths of the orcs one after another.
As if gagged, the orcs were no longer able to shout.
The noise in the theater gradually diminished, and I was able to have a conversation with a person far away.

“Luke! You called these serpentine roots?!”

Only then did I hear a voice calling for me from Rebecca’s side.
The orcs who threatened Rebecca and Princess Selma were all bound by the roots and could not move.
The Jakartans released from the siege were mesmerized as they watched the roots protruding from the ground in large numbers.

“They said that the horned mage did the grouping of the orcs?”
“Eh, was it possible to create plants with magic? Wasn’t it possible for the creator to create life?”

Princess Selma was squatting on the ground, touching her roots with her hand.
It’s the first time I’ve shown wood attribute magic to the people of Jakarta.
It would be natural to be surprised to see that plants are born with magic.

“Mi, I can’t believe it! If you have magic, it’s possible to make flowers bloom in the desert? Are you saying you can create a miracle that turns the desert into a forest?”

It seems that they are more interested in the magical plants in front of them than the Orcs who caused the riot.

“It’s true that I summoned it with magic.”
“Also!”

After giving Rebecca her answer, I moved towards them in a trembling mood.
Behind me, Kate, who had unlocked the barrier, was following me with quick steps.

“It’s a real root…! It’s a root with magical powers!”

Princess Selma made a fuss about her, still frantically touching her roots.
I was almost killed by the orcs just a moment ago, so can I afford it? Or does it mean that the magic seen in the outside world is so wonderful that you forget even the danger of death?
I don’t know which one, but I know enough that the princess has courage.

I approached them and spoke to Rebecca, who I could communicate with.

“Listen, Rebecca. Right now, Wolfrun Theater is being terrorized with hallucination magic. Someone drove the orcs crazy with magic.”
“Ah, they were terrorized by hallucination magic? I thought it was strange. The pig heads didn’t run away even when I threatened them with a knife.”

It was a sudden explanation, but Rebecca quickly understood what I was saying.
Unlike other Jakartans, she was fully aware of the dangers of magic.

“Perhaps the hidden terrorist is constantly making a specific sound. It’s the sound that has a certain pattern that acts as a medium for hallucination magic. Did you hear any strange noises while fighting?”
“Strange sounds…? Wait a minute.”

Rebecca was unmanned, so her ears were on the bright side. When she’s a second-class drone, she never misses even the slightest breath.
She had the ability to detect strange sounds while listening to the roar of the orcs.

‘The Orcs have not yet been released from the hallucination magic.’

The orcs of Theater Road were still having seizures, bound by the roots.
It is proof that the hallucinogenic magic that drives them crazy somewhere is constantly being maintained.

It was clear that a terrorist was hiding somewhere in the streets now.
He must be watching the situation while letting the orcs hear a sound imbued with magic.

This is your chance to catch him back!
As she looked around, she suddenly heard Rebecca’s voice.

“Luke, I’ve heard the bells from before. Even though the orcs are making a fuss, someone keeps ringing the bells? Listen carefully now.”
“OK.”

Hearing the sound of bells, I focused my attention on the sounds around me.
The sound of people screaming, the sound of roots moving, the sound of orcs struggling.
All kinds of sounds would come and go, but there was only one constant ringing sound on this theater road.

With my daughter! With my daughter!

It was just the sound of drops.
It’s hard to believe that just one bell is spreading the sound all over the theatre.
Under the influence of magic, the sound of bells echoed at the same volume throughout the theater.

This means that wherever you move on Theater Road, you hear the same bell sound.

I turned my head towards where the sound came from.
On the roof of the three-story theater building bells rang incessantly.

‘It was that guy.’

I saw a man waving bells on the roof.
If he hadn’t paid close attention, he would have mistakenly thought that he was simply a person who went up to the rooftop to avoid the orcs.

Did you notice my staring eyes?
The man holding the bell made eye contact with me and smiled.

Fuck!

I can’t believe the expression on the face of a terrorist who has been caught!
He rattled incessantly, not even thinking of getting out of the spot.

With my daughter! With my daughter!

‘Are you saying you have the confidence to survive even if your identity is revealed?’

Anyway, I need to stop that rattle.
I quickly cast a freezing spell that can snip him.

[Icicle Drop]

When I finished casting with the shadowless window, icicles the size of stalactites formed above my head.
I adjusted the angle of the icicles and aimed their ends toward the rooftop.

“A volley!”

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae!!

The moment they started shooting, large icicles flew towards the roof of the building.
The man with the bell quickly dodged, but it wasn’t him I was aiming for.

The icicles that fell on the roof collided with the floor and shattered them.
However, just because the icicle has been smashed is not the end.
I calculated the angle so that no matter where I ran from the rooftop, I would be hit by debris.

Icicle fragments bounced in all directions like a ricochet, turning the rooftop into hell.
The man who tried to avoid only the icicles was beaten mercilessly by fragments of the icicles.

“…Keuuuuugh!”

I don’t know how much the ice cracking sound resonated.
The man was safe even in the midst of the sharp ice pouring down, perhaps because he had a strong body.
The clothes are torn, but there is no blood flowing from the body.

‘Are you still fine after getting hit by an icicle that can pierce through a steel plate? Doesn’t it have to be hit no matter how fragmented it is?’

Are you using defense magic or something?
I’m not moving fast enough to treat you as an unmanned person.

I don’t know what exactly they did, but the only thing left intact was the man’s body.
The bell he was holding shattered into pieces of scrap metal.

“Chit…”

Perhaps belatedly realizing that the bell had been shattered, a mysterious man clicked his tongue.

“That guy on the roof over there!”

I decided to encourage the man to surrender first.
Didn’t they say that winning without fighting is the best way?

“That’s the damn thing! Hurry down and surrender!”

The man standing on the roof finally opened his mouth.
A deep voice came out of his mouth.

“What the hell? Compared to his excellent magic skills, his mouth is rough! He’s quite a unique guy.”
