Chapter 1143 – #271_Vendetta (4)

#1137

One.
If there was one type of decisive battle that all witches most wanted to avoid, it would be one-on-many combat.

Overcoming multiple opponents in a battle of witches is not at the level of ‘the strongest guy in the neighborhood beat the gangster 1 to 17’.

Magic has lethal killing power.
No matter how much a great witch can fly or crawl, if she is hit by a spell of tier 15 or higher that stabs her defenseless in the back, she will be defeated.

What if there is an archwitch on the other side as well?

Even one mistake can result in death or defeat.
Difficulty levels increase from worst to worst.

This is the same reason that most of the fighting groups wandering around the world have at least 20 ranks.

If you are good at combining, or if you have a lot of combat experience.
A team that mixes one 20th tier with two 19th tiers can easily hunt the 21st tier.

A capo who leads the pursuit team.
Frau Holle, the Witch of the Snowfield.

“Wave it around.”

Her starting words show a level appropriate for the 21st rank and color the sunny early morning sky with gloom.

Because it is located next to the Alps, the already heavy winter cold turns into something like Siberia, and the flurries of snow begin to cover the city in white.

‘Breath of the Midnight Sun’, a wide area skill that freezes magical power caught in a blizzard.

You might wonder what kind of magic it is to freeze some magic power at the 21st rank, but Frau is not an elite ‘Sweeper’ for nothing.

Magic attribute can both liquefy and vaporize, but solidification does not occur due to cooling.
It just makes it less responsive.
This is basic magic common sense and the laws that make up the world.

In other words, it is assumed that when magical power is frozen as Frau twisted, the movement of magical power becomes slow as a result.
This means that the other person’s response to a phenomenon that goes beyond common sense is bound to be delayed.

Because we have to respond to ‘things that don’t make common sense’ with improvisation.

As for Shin Si-woo, who was swinging his spear at Mach speeds and jumping from roof to roof, his spiritual body’s magic circuit should have been torn apart from the inside by now by the cooled and expanded magic power.

“Hmph!”

-Quaang!

However, he still runs wild and shakes off the three witches who attack him together.

The goddaughters, hit by spears, struck by fists, and struck by waves of magical power, fell apart, shattering the city like pinballs.

Of course, Frau took action against it.
The key to this battle depends on how long the auxiliary combatants remain to drain his strength.

If the same force is applied, the damage will be different depending on whether it is applied for 0.1 second or 1 second.

The defensive magic ‘Frozen Time’ given to each tracker minimized the damage caused by the blow, so even after being hit by him, he jumped up and rushed towards Shin Si-woo again.

Even though the stalemate is still ongoing, the goddaughter Vengadoras has gathered to subdue Siwoo.
She secretly watched the scene and was planning to take Si-woo away, even if it meant throwing herself at her.

I couldn’t help but feel a thrill at the scene that violated common sense.

No one believed he would make it this far.
This is a systematic passing that should have put any 23rd rank witch on the defensive.

However, in a close combat where even a single mistake was not tolerated, he leisurely avoided danger like a worn-out fighter.

He dazzles the people protecting Frau and delivers threatening spear strikes several times.

“…”

As expected, Shin Si-woo is strong.
It may even be true that he defeated Ursula von Himmelslauf, the Witch of the Rebellion, who was an executive of the Hexennacht hardliners.

But in Frau’s opinion, that was all.
He was clearly a skilled fighter and possessed great combat power, but he was definitely not at the level to subdue the Witch of Gold.

Excluding martial arts and combat sense, if we were to consider only the level of magic, it would be ranked 22nd.
He kills his mother, who was one of the most powerful people in the public world even within Hexennacht?

It is a picture that cannot be drawn no matter how much imagination one exerts.
If it had been their mother, she would have already made Frau and her sisters crawl on the floor.

“Gather.”

Is this the end?
Frau gave his signal dejectedly.

He might sound very strange, but maybe he was secretly hoping.

If he was truly a qualified godfather, wouldn’t a more refreshing ending await her than now, as she wanders around after losing the beacon of her life, Lydia Magnus?
What will be left after the empty revenge is over?

There was even a feeling of somewhat premature despair.

Nevertheless, the judgment is cool-headed.

After receiving the signal, three groups of tracking teams will gather here within 5 minutes and kill Shin Si-woo for sure.

In preparation for variables including location points, three groups of punitive forces consisting of three capos and sweepers in addition to Frau were waiting in the outskirts.

The reason Frau Jo took the initiative in the first place was to be cautious about whether this was a trap set by Shin Si-woo.

He will be cut into pieces by four great witches and 20 members of the punitive force, and his body will be placed on a burnt offering for his mother.

“Let’s finish now.”

The members who received orders from Frau formed a formation.

The magic I am going to cast from now on is the anti-magic ‘Snowfield of Silence’, which is a combination of ‘Breath of the Midnight Sun’ and ‘Frozen Heart’.

It is the job of the rest of her crew to escort her while she deploys her magic.

Shin Si-woo, who was struggling while trapped in the snowy field, was busy fighting off the fiercely attacking Dae-won, as if he didn’t even notice it.

-Wheeeee!!!!

Once the spell is complete, Frau’s snowflakes will prey on the sounds he makes, accelerating his cooling.

A witch with the power output of Shin Si-woo is bound to emit a roar just by moving.
She is presented with only two options: either she freezes to death while still moving, or she gives up her resistance and is killed by the crew.

Afterwards, only the snowy field of silence will remain, as is the reason for its name, the Snowy Field of Silence.

-Cracked!

Pure white snowflakes appear on Shin Si-woo’s armor.
The more violently he ran, the more his magic began to freeze, and the black and red amulet was fading to pure white.

At that time.

“This is enough.”

-Wheeeee!

Two pairs of rings above his head.
The ring begins to rotate heavily, creating a dull feeling as if heaven and earth are coming together.

Frau witnessed it.

For such a small subject, the extreme meaning of the ‘demon’, which is felt in the rotating ring like a halo, has reached a point where the end cannot be imagined.

At the same time.

-Rarrrr

The magical frost that had covered him white began to melt.

Not only that, the absolutely frozen soil, which cannot be melted by high heat, dies in the ravenous burning golden flames.
Even the blinding eyes, which were so sharp that it was impossible to discern even an inch ahead, could not overcome the flames surrounding Shin Si-woo’s body.

The flickering of brilliant golden particles resembles a flame.
At the same time, all symbols are consumed and rendered invalid.

Any Werpana knows what that magic is.
Because it is the mother’s main force that destroys symbols and values.

“Destruction… Flames… ?”

If we look closely, from a magical perspective, this is a separate magic from the Flame of Destruction.

It is a kind of trick created by applying fire elemental magic to Siwoo’s unique magic color and adding the effect of nullifying the distortion field.

It is a completely different magic with the only common denominator being that it is based on the idea of ​​’denying the value of magic by wearing it out’ and ‘dispelling it by distorting magic’.

But what is a witch?
A person who has fulfilled his mission in life to pioneer the advanced realm of magic.

That magic contains symbols that are more than the sum of life and identity.

In that sense, the golden flames that Shin Si-woo wears, burning and nullifying magic, are the symbol of Lydia Magnus.

The scene where he, who was pretending to be the godfather, uses magic reminiscent of Lydia, aroused religious awe beyond reason.

Enough to completely destroy even the slightest doubt they had.

The goddaughters who were rushing towards Si-woo as if they were going to kill him unconsciously dropped their wands, dissipating their magic power, and looked at the flames that seemed to burn forever.

“That can’t be possible! “It’s just a trick!”

Only Frau rejected the delusion and denied the facts before his eyes.

Since she is not well-versed in her ideological system, the difference cannot be clearly seen.

However, if it stops at that level, it is just an imitation.
My mother’s magic is much greater than mine.

In front of Frau, who was thinking like that, Siu, holding Mystil Thane in his hand, took a stance and gathered his magical power.

Although research was conducted with periwinkle, research on Mystiltein was still insufficient.

It is difficult to know how this works and what the ultimate value is pursued.
The only thing that can increase Mystiltein’s output is about 20%.

However, the ‘dangerous spear that emits a force field of ideas’ has been dealt with to the point of getting tired of it.
The type of magic Lydia used was also engraved in her eyes.

If so, it means that you can create a plausible imitation with only 20% of the output.

“Mors.”

Frau felt his hair sinking.
I realized that the power contained in the golden spear held out by Shin Si-woo was something that could not be blocked.

————!!!!

At that time, I thought I was being helplessly swept away by the golden light spreading from the tip of the spear.

“… Tsk… ?”

After not feeling anything for a while, Frau lifted his tightly closed eyes and looked at the sky.
What Shin Si-woo was aiming for from the beginning was not Frau, but a swarm of thick clouds that covered the sky and sprinkled snow.

“Ah…”

What Frau saw reflected in his eyes was the magnificent sight of the snowy clouds that had colored his son-in-law in darkness burning like cotton candy on fire.

As if reminiscent of the narrative of Genesis, pure dawn light breaks through the eternal darkness and passes through the sky.
Golden waves spread like sunbeams, mysteriously illuminating the city.

The other pursuit party that arrived at the battlefield after receiving Frau’s call also stopped in fascination before the majestic and sacred miracle.

“Do you trust me now?”

The morning sunlight, which came after driving away the dark clouds as if pulling back a heavenly curtain, illuminated Siwoo like stage lighting.

Frau knelt down on his knees like a devout believer.

“Your sixth daughter meets her godfather.”

Then, as if riding a wave, the other goddaughters also bow their heads in front of Si-woo.

“The humble thirteenth daughter meets her godfather.”
“The thirty-fifth daughter meets her noble godfather.”

There was not a single witch left here who doubted that Shin Si-woo was the legitimate godfather.
