Chapter 851 – Battle of Vajra -8-

000

Elemental Void [Attribute Void].

It is the opposite concept of Mighty Liter, and literally refers to a constitution that has no affinity for magic power of any attribute – and cannot use magic that requires attribute power.

This is also the exact opposite of Mighty Liter, and unlike Mighty Liter, which is a word created to explain things theoretically and conceptually, Elemental Void also appears occasionally, although it is very rare.

It is said that most of them hide their aptitude for magic and live as ordinary people.

Humans born with generally developed magic organs, that is, those who can become wizards, have an affinity for at least one attribute of magic.

There are various ways to find out what type of magic a person has an affinity for, but sometimes, in the case of a discovered void type, it felt quite miserable.

It must have meant many things to me to have been expecting from the time of birth that this child would grow up to become a wizard, but it was no different from being declared impossible.

The basic processing of magic leads to the detection of magic power, the control of magic power, and the manifestation of magic.

At this time, the magic power that can be sensed and the magic power that can be controlled are determined by the properties of one’s magic power.

In other words, those without affinity will find it difficult to use them or even detect them in the first place, no matter how much elemental magic is distributed around them.

Since you have to use magic power purely using the magic power generated from your magic organs, you are forced to use magic in a very inefficient manner.

From that perspective, it can be said that it is only natural that the power of magic expressed by them is weak.

Wizards, like other professions, are a profession that places great importance on efficiency and talent.

There is no need to consider which is more important between a normal wizard who can create 100 and 200 with 1, and the attribute voids who can only create 10 with 1.

If so – unfortunately, it is recommended that you give up the life of a wizard and live a normal life.

People who accept that, settle for the fact that it’s convenient to be able to use a little magic power, and choose a path other than being a wizard may be a little better.

However, the moment the expectations they have received since childhood turn into pressure, they become unable to deviate from that path.

In particular, Lila had heard that an Elemental Void born from a wizard’s lineage or a long-established family would live a life like hell.

It is said that there are people who struggle to somehow obtain the ability to evolve attributes that do not manifest over time, and are despised by their families, and sometimes even treated as non-existent by servants.

Those who cannot endure such treatment and become distorted in personality, or cut off ties with their families and live in hiding even their clans.

Neither can be said to be a happy ending.

The worst of them are the people who do not give up their attribute affinity until the end and resort to various inhumane experiments to obtain it.

It would be nice if it stopped at the level of human experimentation with one’s own body, but one could also touch the bodies of other magicians.

If you go to the level of being reborn as a different being by carrying out past life rituals, it is now an area close to disaster.

In addition, as mentioned above, attribute voids are not as efficient as other general magicians in the use of magic, so the results obtained through magic research are also of low quality.

It is literally a marathon race where reaching the goal is impossible.

There is even a sorcerer with a bad personality who speaks with extremely malicious prejudice, saying that it is like animals running around in circles chasing their own tails.

＂Who… Is a beast chasing its own tail…!?＂

Mea’s relaxed voice rang out after hearing Lila’s words.

The arrow of anger had now completely moved away from Rio Mes and was directed at Laila, who was standing on the ground looking up.

“Calm down~ I just heard someone say that.”

＂Qu…! Listen carefully! I am not an elemental void or something! As I said before, it’s a Mighty Litter! If I’m truly incompetent, how will I explain the elemental magic I used on you?! “If you say whatever comes to mind, what do you think will happen?”

You reacted like that earlier, and now that excuse is unreasonable.

As Lila thought so, she shrugged and pointed to the magic circles spread out on the ground.

Although they were now neutralized by Lila and Selena, they were all magic formations that did not have any magical properties and were intended to manifest non-attribute magic.

“Wizards… When their judgment is poor, or they are embarrassed, they use the magic they are most confident in. That’s because when the wizard’s brain doesn’t work properly, they use the magic imprinted in their body according to their instincts.”

For example, in Laila’s case, a fireball. In Selena’s case, it is flash magic.

＂We can control fire magic and light magic as if we were breathing. Conversely, we cannot control other attributes. So, the magic that appears when a wizard lets go of the opposite sex is, of course, magic with an attribute that the wizard has an affinity for. Okay? This meaning.”

＂──.＂

Even after Lila listens to everything she says, Mea looks down at her without any response.

Because she understood very well what she was talking about.

“The reason you can only use non-attribute magic when you can’t maintain composure is that special measures are needed to use magic of other attributes. And that too, through external means!”

＂Shut up!!＂

Dozens of magical lances formed in the air flew towards Laila.

However, unlike before, Lila leisurely spreads her magic barrier to block it, and she creates a hand of flame to capture it and return it to Mea.

Mea seemed embarrassed when she saw this, but she defended herself by swinging her staff and striking down her magical lance.

＂Huu… Huu… Haa…!＂

She took a deep breath, seemingly trying to somehow regain her composure.

It was certain that if she regained her concentration, she would attack again using various attributes like before, so Selena was now trying to stop her from doing so.

But-

Lila grabbed her arm and stopped Selena.

“Lila? Do you think we have to attack her now and take her down?”

Selena said that as if she didn’t know Lila’s intentions, but Lila nodded as if she knew, and she took a step forward.

“I know. But… I don’t think I’ll be able to beat that guy until he completely breaks her heart.”

＂I still don’t know how she uses magic of different attributes…＂

“What. “Wouldn’t it be okay to ask about that after she’s been defeated?”

In response to Lila’s optimistic comment, Selena sighed and ran a hand through her own hair.

＂I was surprised by such an unplanned remark, which cannot be expected from a wizard.＂

“Even a genius wizard like me wants to do that sometimes.”

As Lila said that, the moment she took her next step, her clothes that were covering her from her toes turned into flames.

After that, her hair, skin, and whole body changed, and now there was something that could no longer be called ‘human’ – Lyla, looking like a flame spirit.

＂──This is… ＂

For Selena, it was her first time seeing that side of Laila.

Demis and Riomes smiled when they saw Laila, who had been active in the fight against the black mud giant they had seen in the Academy’s final battle.

“─W-what is it… What does it look like?”

And – Mea, who is astonished, once again points out Lila’s change in a trembling voice.

What she senses is the elemental magic of a hateful nature that she cannot handle-

Above all, it was the magic power of the flame itself that had frustrated him time and time again.

“This is one of the ultimate points of elemental magic that you can never reach even if you die and wake up. ‘Hwahwahwa’. Well, maybe I’ve never heard of it.”

The next moment, Lila’s figure rose from the spot.

It was like a phoenix, flying into the sky not through flight magic, but through flames spraying from beneath its feet.

Embarrassed, Mea quickly tried to extinguish her body by using water-type magic, but as she lost her composure and panicked, her magic expression was noticeably slower than before. 〉

While Mea was hesitating, Lila was able to create dozens of fireballs at the same time and control them so that each one could fly acrobaticly and aim at her Mea.

＂Oh, Absorb Dispel!＂

In the end, Mea gave up using her magic to shoot it down and tried to counter her attack by dispelling Lila’s magic.

As her unique staff spins around her body, each fireball she flies disappears upon contact, disintegrating into her magic and being absorbed into her staff.

“As expected, the wand is the mystery of your magic.”

＂Uh, before you know it!?＂

However, Lila, who had turned into flame mixed with her fireball, seemed not to have noticed her approach, and when she suddenly appeared and grabbed her staff, she let out a startled voice and retreated behind her. Br〉

Lila, with her blazing hair and the way she looked at herself with her eyes, seemed to her like an incomprehensible kind of monster.

She could not understand that a being emitting such powerful elemental magic could exist in the natural world.

＂So, have I become a spirit? Do you think you can turn your entire body into magical energy and return to its original state?”

“I’m sorry, but that difficult problem has already been solved.”

As Laila said that and stretched out her hand toward her Mea, fierce flames spewed out from her hand and covered her Mea’s entire body.

＂Aaaaah!＂

“Eomsal, the robe and mask covering it are not ordinary equipment, are they? Besides, if you are a wizard, you should defend yourself at this level.”

Lila spoke with her calm sigh, but the robe and mask that protected Mea’s body were slowly burning away, unable to withstand it.

＂Ugh… This damn woman…! Absorb!!”

When Mea, who had somehow managed to withstand her heat thanks to them, raised her voice as she reached for her wand once more, Lyla felt a strong pull coming from her wand.

＂Tsk…! Indeed… This staff had the power to absorb magical power… It was a simpler principle than I thought…!”

Even as Lila said that, her body was slowly being sucked into her wand.

＂Ahaha!! Since it has become a magic body, it is naturally weak to powers that are directly involved in magic! I’ll eat you up with my cane! If you don’t like it, why don’t you go back to your original form now!? This monster!”

＂──.＂

Lila listened to her, and then she snorted and-

Soon, she stopped resisting the staff’s pull and her whole body was sucked into it.

＂Huh?＂

The situation was so unexpected that even Mea made a stupid sound, and everyone else who was watching the scene on the ground couldn’t help but widen their eyes and look surprised.

＂W-Lila on the cane!?＂

＂Could it is that she was completely absorbed into the wand!?＂

Diora and Selena voiced surprise, but Riomes and Demis, on the other hand, had a look of trust in Lila.

“─Fu, hot! Aha! Ahahahaha!!!”

And, even after Mea looked blankly at Lila’s disappeared appearance for a moment, she burst into laughter in a high voice, as if she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“You spoke so powerfully, but in the end, you were absorbed into the cane! It’s amazing, it’s hotter than a wand has ever been! With this much magical power of flame, even if I turn this entire room into an inferno─＂

The moment he said that and tried to swing his wand to make what he said come true.

The sound that was heard clearly wasn’t everyone’s imagination.

＂Heh?＂

Her staff, which was made of metal, was starting to break.

As red flames burst out from the cracked part of her, cracking and cracking as if the wilderness had been hit by a drought, Mea panicked and tried to block the crack of her staff with what little remaining robe she had from being burned.

＂No, no, no, no!! Stop it! Don’t break it! Mea’s Staff! Mea’s magic power!”

When Mea’s mask falls from her panicked and embarrassed face –

Her face, which would have originally looked cute, was revealed to be a girl with large burn marks covering the surrounding area right eye and all the way to her forehead.

The burn mark itself looked quite old, but the lack of life in that eye made it seem like he had no vision.

She was in tears and was trying to protect her staff – but now, all the protective magic power in her robe had burned away –

In the end, the staff was destroyed by the magical power of the flame flowing from within, and Lila was liberated from within and reappeared.

Wow!

When only the remains of her staff fall to the ground, Mea raises her voice with her despairing face.

＂Ahh, ahhh!!!＂

＂It’s noisy!＂

The next moment, Lila grabbed Mea by the collar and slammed her own head right into her face.

＂Poot!＂

Mea threw her head back, her blood streaming from her nose and spraying the air.

＂After treating people like fools for a while, you whine because your cane is broken! A wizard should be able to use simple magic without a wand!”

Lila’s unforgiving statement seemed not to be heard by Mea, and she stumbled, and Lila grabbed her body, and she plummeted to the ground.

As if a bomb had been dropped, a strong shock wave exploded, pinning Mea from her head to the floor.

When smoke rose, everyone around her looked at the spot where she fell in shock.

In addition to Lila’s attack, which was more extreme than expected, members of the exiled church watched their own officers being beaten helplessly.

However, once the smoke cleared, Lila shook off her avatar magic and patted Mea, who was lying at her feet.

“La, Laila? By any chance, it doesn’t mean that her head is broken or something, right?”

“Huh? Ah. Are you okay? Her life is at stake. “She lost her mind and wouldn’t be able to wake up for a few hours.”

If you think about it in common sense, it was an attack that could not have been carried out without murderous intent, and it was an attack that was carried out with the intention of actually killing Lila in her sights.

However, just before she hit the ground, Mea barely saved her life by protecting her body with her magic.

＂Me, retrieve Mea!＂

And, when the members of the Expulsion Church heard Lila’s words and tried to rush in, Diora and Selena poured out full-power attacks towards the Expulsion Church as if they had been waiting.

While Lila was fighting Mea, the two were preparing to annihilate the Exiled Church.

Suddenly, an explosion of sound and a flash of light swept through the place, and soon the inside of the warehouse was filled with fallen people from the exiled church.

“Phew. I was fortunate that I was able to defeat it somehow.”

As Selena spoke, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, Lila let out a sigh.

“Not at all, fortunately. You originally planned to go inside and use the avatar magic, but you ended up using it at such an early stage. It also consumed quite a bit of magical power…”

“What. Anyway, everyone is safe. Cleon should have entered the portal to the power room by now. Then we-“

＂The other side. Infiltrate the general area through the southern transfer gate. It’s not the power room, but there’s a room there that you need to find.”

As Lila said so, she placed her magic seal on Mea, who was lying on the ground, and bound her tightly with her rope.

And then, she moved her steps, dragging herself on the ground.

＂Data archive of the Exiled Church. Because this guy is hiding a lot of things as secrets. You might find something quite interesting.”
