Chapter 2450 – 2450. Dark Moon

Undead dolls pouring out from all directions.

I calmly cast blood magic. A wall of blood rising from the ground blocks enemies and pushes them back.

‘Beonhyeong.’

The biggest advantage of liquids is that they are easy to transform. Moreover, now I am a true vampire. Changing the form of blood is easier than using new magic.

Transform the wall of blood into a blade of blood and sweep away the dolls. Uji string. The sound of dolls being smashed can be heard everywhere.

‘… That’s bad. No matter how you think about it, this is a meaningless war of attrition.’

Blood magic is advantageous in wars of attrition. Because the more we fight, the more blood inevitably flows. The blood that flows in battle gives strength to the blood wizard.

‘These guys are dolls. It is made of bones and flesh… A doll that doesn’t actually bleed.’

Even if you smash a doll, no blood flows. The only thing being consumed now was my blood and my mana.

‘I came here right away without any time to get blood, so I don’t have any extra blood packs.’

There is no extra blood, and blood cannot be supplied through battle. It was the worst battlefield for the blood wizard.

After thinking about it, I canceled the Absolute Polymorph spell. Return to human body. The blood magic surrounding me also disappeared.

‘He knows my identity anyway. In that case, there is no reason for him to insist on becoming a vampire. How does he know my identity? We can find out from now on.’

“Huh?”

“Are you finished playing vampires?”

“But will anything change?”

The voice of a giggling doll echoes everywhere.

Even the darkness could not be seen through non-vampire human eyes. This is where you can feel how much the physical specifications of humans have fallen.

But it doesn’t matter. Because I have magic.

[Light]

The most basic magic.

A sphere of light was created in the air. You can see dolls in the form of undead. The broken remains were slowly being repaired. In just about 5 minutes, it will completely recover and run back to me.

‘… Okay. Now, let’s test the performance of Geumgang Trust.’

I already used it when fighting Rahul, but it’s not enough. If you think you will use it in the future, you should use it a few more times to get used to it in advance.

[Rent Geumgang Trust for 1 hour with 3,000 inventory points.]

This time, 150 million credits flew away in one go. I shook off that regret right away. All you have to do is make money again.

Geumgang Trust floated in the air next to me.

‘First, it is physical power.’

Pajijik.

An electric current flew between me and Geumgang Trust.

Geumgang Trust is moving. It moves instantly to a nearby undead doll and pierces its head, destroying it. Without stopping there, Geumgang Trust attacked the other dolls one by one. The speed was very fast.

Kwasik! Pop! Kwazi Ik!

The sound of a doll being smashed excitingly couldn’t have been so pleasant to hear.

‘It’s similar to telekinesis, but it’s controlled differently, so it’s a bit difficult.’

The speed is too fast. Bullet? No, it’s faster than that. In addition, it can move not in straight lines but also in curves.

Fit.

Diamond confidence passes by my cheek. My cheeks are hot yet cool. When I wiped my cheek with the back of my hand, there was blood on it.

‘Such detailed control is difficult. It would be better to give it magic and operate it fully automatically… Hmm. To do that, I need to do a lot of research.’

When the Diamond Trust stopped, there was silence everywhere. There wasn’t a single doll that was in good condition. Only the rubble lay on the floor, writhing for restoration.

[Electric Field]

The electric field that started at my feet swept through the remains of the doll.

‘The reason a doll can be restored is that each fragment of the doll contains magic. If the technique is slightly damaged by magical power, it cannot be repaired.’

I moved forward, stepping on the remains of the doll.

“Eugene Meyer. Honestly, I don’t know why you came here.”

“Do you need the vision of a warlock?”

“The wizard’s royal path is elemental magic. It’s a fact everyone knows. “It’s better to focus on elemental magic rather than black magic.”

A small doll that appears from nowhere is chirping. I sighed and waved my hands as if shooing away flies. Squeeze! The shot of blue electricity exploded into the doll’s body. But a new doll appeared again.

“… “How many dolls do we have so that we waste them like this?”

“There are a lot of dolls. This is Ilario’s workshop. “Because it is a place where the dolls that Ilario carved over his entire life are gathered.”

“… Then ask differently. Unlike the first time, there was no attack. Why?”

“I just knew there was no point. Because I can’t do anything with you with a half-baked doll.”

“Have you given up? Then, I would like you to come and show me the way.”

“I didn’t give up.”

Stand tall.

I stopped walking forward. I narrow my eyes and stare ahead.

A dark, ordinary-looking hallway. However, there is a hint of cleverly hidden magic.

“It’s a magic trap.”

“… Giggling. Do you have a good feeling? It would be difficult for even a high-ranking wizard to notice.”

I took out a reagent from my inventory and scattered it around.

A reagent that reveals hidden magic. It’s not very expensive. Just spraying at the right time is difficult.

The hidden magic circle appeared, glowing softly like a fluorescent substance. I glanced at the magic circle.

‘It’s my first time seeing a magic circle. In this case, you can try using it yourself. It’s not a particularly difficult magic.’

A magic circle was recreated in the air with the output limited. Of course, I took out the dark hole and activated the magic with black mana.

A black hand appears from the magic circle, grabs the air strongly, and disappears.

“… It’s a simple trap spell. “If I had gone inside carelessly, my lower body would have been crushed.”

“Wow. Did you see it once and recreate it? You’re not even a real warlock? “You are a genius even greater than Elio!”

I grabbed the admiring doll and threw it into the magic circle. The magic trap was triggered, and a black hand came out and crushed the doll.

“It’s too much!”

A new doll appeared from behind and shouted. Ignore it and move forward.

The reason I don’t kill this noisy doll is because there is no point in killing it. Even if you kill it, a new doll will appear and talk to you. It will probably be like that until this battle is over. And surprisingly, there are times when the doll’s words contain useful information.

“Ilario loved dolls. I wanted to bring life to the doll. So what I tried my hand at was necromancy. Putting a soul into a corpse and putting a soul into a doll. “There’s no difference, right?”

“I know Elio was a puppet.”

“That’s too much. But I can’t refute it because it’s real.”

“So how long are you going to waste time? 30 minutes have already passed. There are limits to what we can get along with.”

“Huh? What does that mean all of a sudden?”

“Do you think you don’t know that they blocked the exit and made you wander around meaninglessly?”

From the moment I came here, I was dispersing electromagnetic waves every 15 seconds.

You can do that much without using magic. Although the range and accuracy are somewhat poor, it is possible to at least understand the structure.

“There’s only one reason I don’t destroy this place. I want to possess Illario’s arcane magic in its entirety. It’s not that I can’t do it, so I don’t do it. Show me the real path before my patience runs out. If you don’t like it, tell me now. “I will make the road myself.”

Raise your hands. Suddenly, a thunderbolt appeared and wriggled. The instantaneous destructive power of the lightning-type attribute is famous. If I use my magic with all my might, I can destroy this structure.

“After. Okay. Okay. I’ll guide you. Follow me. “Preparations should have been completed by now.”

‘I don’t like it, but… I can’t help it. To obtain arcane magic.’

After obtaining the arcane magic, I will destroy them all. Even this workshop.

It moved along with the doll.

‘The road has changed. The structure moved and changed on its own. Is it magic? Otherwise…’

There is more than just mystery and magic in this world. Just because the original owner of this place is a warlock, there is no law that says the workshop must consist of only magic.

After receiving directions from the doll, I arrived at a room with a large mirror. I was reflected in the mirror.

As I stand still, the image of myself in the mirror reaches out towards me. The hand started to leave the mirror. Another me, holding the Diamond Trust in my hand, stood in front of me.

“… Is it a doppelganger?”

“Okay. I am you. Eugene Meyer.”

The doppelganger speaks in my voice. I looked at him and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Even if you imitate me, you can’t imitate me perfectly.”

“… “Don’t you know how dangerous a doppelganger is?”

I asked as if it was absurd.

“Know. A doppelganger is a near-perfect copy of the target’s knowledge, memories, and powers. He kills the original object and takes its place. It’s an eerie record… If doppelgangers were really that dangerous, the world would already belong to them.”

The story of doppelgangers is famous. It is as bloated as it is famous.

“If you really want to be Eugene Meyer… Don’t just open your mouth, show it for yourself.”

Let’s go!

Lightning explodes from the Geumgang Trust next to me.

I opened the astral. I can feel the connection with Geumgang Trust.

‘Let’s experiment to see how well I can come up with a magic trick.’

Set goals and give orders. Then, Geumgang Trust calculated the magic formula in an instant and optimized it so that it could be realized immediately.

All I have to do is click a button and use magic.

‘It takes care of the cumbersome and complicated calculations for you.’

The downside is that I can’t handle magic techniques I don’t know. In the end, a tool is a tool. I am the one who has to plan and finish the magic.

[Lightning Grab]

A refined current bursts out from the grasp. The doppelganger looked at him and swallowed dry saliva.

“What are you doing? Prepare your magic too. “If you were me, you would be able to use magic like this without difficulty, right?”

“… Shit. I am not you! Only the appearance was changed to make it more appealing! I can’t eat it! Ilario! I’m giving up! There’s nothing I can do about this guy! How can he transform when he can’t even see part of his memories! This guy’s mental barrier is bigger than yours. Are you learning some special astral vision? It is clear that he is under the protection of something!”

The doppelganger shouted, glaring at the doll next to me. I swung at the guy. The thunderbolts that were piled up in his hands flew towards him.

“Ahhhhh!

Hold it!

The guy falls to the floor with a flash of lightning.

He snapped his fingers. The Diamond Trust flew like lightning and pierced the guy’s heart.

“Why, why… ! I had no intention of fighting you… !”

“The sight of me looking like myself and speaking with my own voice is extremely unpleasant. Die here.”

Clink!

The mirror that was not touched breaks. At the same time, the doppelganger’s body began to melt. The liquid, as black as a shadow, soon evaporated and disappeared.

This time I turned my head to the side and looked at the doll.

“This guy calls you Illario. Wasn’t he dead?”

“Haha. Things went wrong. That’s right. I’m Illario. To be exact, Ilario, a doll containing Ilario’s thoughts.”

The doll said cheerfully.

The doll’s eyes shine blue. It’s like he’s looking right through me.

“Eugene Meyer. If you want my arcane magic… Come to where I am. The arcane magic you want is at the bottom.”

Giggling.

I put a diamond on the head of a doll that seemed to be laughing at me.

“Come, let’s go. “Keep your vision magic handy.”
