Chapter 379 – The Spirits of Paracelsus (4)
“Elemental Burst.”
“Elemental Circle.”
A low starter.
But the effect was not so benign.
First of all, Iris’ Elemental Burst. This was Iris’s signature magic, which she had seen several times before.
Of course, there was a huge difference in shape and power between then and now.
The archetype that forced three out of the four attributes to burst is no longer there.
It was a form of magic that was crushed to such an extent that even traces of it could not be recognized.
It looked like a child roughly kneading clay, but I felt everything in it.
Not fire, water, wind, or soil, but something before becoming something.
The attributes that forcibly returned to the past resisted each other, but did not want to fall easily.
… Maybe that’s why, when I forcibly exploded it, the shock was enormous.
Aaaaa!!
White out. In an instant, the enormous amount of light that made me think such a thing burned my retinas, and my eardrums became choked up as if they were filled with water.
The world turned white for a moment.
A sight that can only be expressed that way. The results were just as great.
“The spirit pressure of large monsters… ?”
The large monster that was running toward Iris wasn’t one.
One by one, two Behemoths averted their eyes in fright at the sight of their own people being hunted, and one Abomination Chimera, which looked slow but crawled on the ground very quickly.
Three large monsters, each boasting the size of a decent building, disappeared as if evaporating in an instant.
All that was left was a deep hole dug into the ground, and black marks on the bottom.
In terms of power, it’s probably similar to the Punishment I used in the battle against the Ugly Prosperity.
Of course, now that I have a dragon heart, the power will be stronger… Even so, the fact that the magic at the time was magic that could injure the gods remains unchanged.
It is said that the magic of Iris also has power that transcends the difference in status.
The announcement of the appearance of an uninvited guest who broke into those who were repeating endless fights was indeed loud and splendid.
Only one monster died, but was the power of the newly improved Elemental Burst too strong?
The golems, not knowing if they were allies or enemies, began to rush towards us all at once.
Their mission is a small cave at the end… It is to protect the workshop of Paracelsus.
Whether or not it was an enemy of monsters, someone with skills like Iris must have considered it a threat to the battle.
It was Elisha who stepped out of there.
Elemental Circle. I must have shouted out the starting language, but nothing came out of Elisha’s wand.
Since it was the first name I had heard of, it must have been a new magic created while organizing my realizations this time.
I was anxious to see if it had failed, but… I realized it when I saw the back of Elisha who took a step forward.
The shadow of the elements, characteristic of the Elementus Core, rose from the back of his head. Arranged in a diamond shape, the shapes of the four brightly shining attributes were connected and rotated as one.
For a moment, I was wondering what the hell that meant.
Elisha stretched out her wand. And waves of fire pouring down without any warning.
“Moo Young-chang… ?”
No, it’s too powerful for that? On the contrary, it was too weak to be called the magic I had been preparing for a while.
Countless thoughts running through my head. But that was a premature question.
The golem knight’s body was red hot, but the guys calmly climbed up the tidal wave of flames, as if they were sure of the high fever countermeasures.
It was around the time that not only the place directly touched by the fire, but also the whole body was sufficiently heated. The pouring flames suddenly turned into a cold storm and attacked the golem from behind.
Quaaaaa-!
It is as if the flames that had been spewed out returned as a blizzard. The fire that spewed from the wand had cooled down a long time ago.
A creaking sound could be heard from the joints of the golem, which had been moving smoothly without noise, probably because of the rapid temperature change.
There’s no way a golem like that doesn’t have a repair function, so that must be a temporary phenomenon. But that was enough.
In a short time, Elisha’s coldness became a huge boulder and struck the golem knights.
Kwajik!
I don’t know what happened. Just like when fire turned to cold, the cold also turned to stone.
As they collided, the shattered boulders crumbled into wind, launching golems that could not be stopped into the air and pushing them away.
Then, an unnatural lightning bolt created in the air, not over the clouds, strikes the falling golem.
At this point, the rest of the golems seemed to have a problem internally, and their movements gradually slowed down and then stopped.
Patter.
It was only when I heard the sound of the wreckage falling to the floor that I was sweet.
That natural change is the magic of the Elemental Circle.
It’s not just about casting multiple spells in succession. One magic can transform into many.
Even the loss of mana is negligible.
Even after that, Elisha’s magic continued. They were just a little bigger than humans, but they were fast and strong golem knights.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a guy approaching or firing from a distance.
Every time Elisha lifted the wand, storms and flames filled her field of vision, and the ground turned upside down and spewed out destruction.
It looked like a conductor of natural disasters.
The shadows of the elements that had been rotating slowly became faster and faster, and at some point, it became impossible to recognize even the patterns of the attributes that constituted them.
The shadows of the elements that now become a single ring and light up Elisha from the back of her head.
The appearance reminiscent of Halo suddenly reminded me of what Elisha said the other day.
Did she say that sometimes she has a magic that allows her to understand the caster just by looking at her? Elisha’s magic did just that.
A huge cycle that continues unbroken. A sense of bird’s eye view of the whole, not just a section of an event.
The total amount of mana that led to all these phenomena did not change much. Instead, according to Elisha’s will, it continued to change its shape and was driven.
Elisha’s idea of elemental magic. A person who pours out the same power as a spirit without a spirit.
That piece has finally germinated.
“Ah…”
It was this. The world Elisha sees and the emotions she feels are as close as mine.
Even in the midst of pessimism that everyone will not be able to do it, even if you fall into slavery by using an outrageous false accusation.
Elisha just silently walked her own path and proved herself.
There are still many immature parts, and the maximum output is still at the level of medium magic, but… Even so, this was clearly the path leading to one truth.
Elisha’s joy spreads like wildfire and sets fire to her heart as well.
This is it. This is the Elisha I know. The way she took her first step towards reaching her own destination was quite beautiful.
It was also a while to stare blankly at Elisha’s back. Turning around, she smiled faintly.
A smile filled with gratitude and affection towards the person who recognized you and believed in you.
Is it. Now I think I know why Elisha and Iris have become even more friendly after subjugating the ugly Prosperity.
Anyone who sees this will fall in love with it. Just like I am now.
However, I couldn’t stay immersed in sentiment for long. After all, this was a battlefield.
Perhaps the moment Elisha looked back at her was an opportunity, the golems scattered in all directions this time.
It feels like Iris has put all the leeway she has gained from defeating several of her large monsters on our side.
Of course, it was a very hasty judgment.
“Don’t ignore me!”
Before I knew it, Iris, who had prepared her next magic, raised her staff. At the same time, the sky is covered with unnatural dark clouds.
It is a characteristic of Thunder Calling-type magic that I am familiar with.
But it wasn’t lightning that flashed through the clouds.
The mass of power created by forced attribute fusion that we saw earlier took the form of lightning.
The lightning, which was originally pale blue, glowed white, and it did not stop at burning the target with a roar.
Kwalung!
A lightning strike that strikes the golem under the dark clouds.
As if aiming precisely, or as if electricity were attracted to metal, all the lightning that hit without missing caused a grand explosion.
Pew!
Although the scale was a bit smaller, it was no different from the Elemental Burst that was fired at large monsters.
It would be a long way for Golem Knights, who are not as strong as large monsters, to withstand Iris’ magic.
Like Elisha, she didn’t have her own realization firmly arranged, but Iris was sure to have her own achievements as well.
There are still delusions like impurities… It must be unavoidable.
In order to be reborn as a higher and better being, you have to overcome the wall, and that wall comes from the karma you have accumulated so far.
Just like I, who had only chosen certain things, reached out to the impossible for the first time and became a junior wizard.
Iris will also be able to complete her current magic only when she overcomes her many failures and frustrations in a true sense.
And maybe you’ll reach the level of the archmage you’ve been longing for.
It’s because Iris’s implementation of at least some of it is high-level magic.
… Is it because I have a high level? Maybe it’s because of Dragon Heart. My eyes seem to be getting better now.
Although I can’t see the path to becoming a great wizard myself.
But. Originally, this kind of problem is difficult for you, but in the eyes of others, it is not a big deal.
I laughed inwardly and scattered the mana I had raised.
I don’t think I need to step out.
In fact, not long after, Elisha and Iris succeeded in arranging all the golems and monsters.
In return, it caused the depletion of mana and made it saggy.
With the two languid on either side, he shouted confidently.
“Our fight starts now!”
It’s real.
You haven’t even entered the studio yet, have you?
