Chapter 480 – The Magic Run (3)

Ectoplasm. It is a material that embodies the resentment or obsession of the deceased, and its strength and characteristics are all different depending on which entity created it, so it is difficult to pinpoint what kind of material it is.

However, what is certain is that the dead who use ectoplasm have powers similar to or greater than when they were alive.

Ajidahaka has all of its soft scales and rotten flesh replaced with translucent green ectoplasm… Perhaps he has become stronger than when he was alive.

-Krraaaaa!!

A horrifying howl. The Dragon Fear itself was enough to weigh down this area, but with the addition of Gugokseong, it felt more powerful than imagined.

My body doesn’t listen to me, and I lower my head because of the weight that feels like I’m carrying Mount Tai.

I urgently tried to neutralize it by spraying dragon fear on my side, but even that only slightly relieved the weight, not enough to completely escape it like before.

Even I, who have a tolerance, are like this, so what about other people?

Except for Havel, who had reached transcendence, the rest were kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads with a tired expression.

Havel seemed to be okay as well, so he swung his sword in a slightly awkward motion. A white sword that cuts through the air not once but several times.

Only then was I able to escape from the harsh influence of my peers.

“Huh!”
“Cough.”
“Huh…”

The sound of heavy breathing coming from all directions. Nevertheless, Havel, who still had his eyes fixed on the front, asked in a low voice.

“You. “What can I call you?”

“… First of all, it is called Tarla to distinguish it from the Karla you know.”

“Okay. Miss Tarla. There’s a lot I really want to talk about, but unfortunately, I guess I’ll have to start talking about that monster for now. What on earth? “Is it really okay to call that Ajidahaka?”

“… It will still be Ajidahaka. However, this means that the continuity of memory will continue to a certain extent, and the way of thinking and abilities will change significantly.”

According to the brief summary due to lack of time, it feels like if it was an undead ‘dragon’ now, it will be an ‘undead’ dragon from now on.

As soon as I heard the story, I first took out my dagger and used my magic power.

Ugh-!

A dagger that cries harshly and greedily sucks my mana. A black energy that swallows all light swirls and obscures the surroundings.

Havel, who realized what I was trying to do, lit up his sword next to me, and a beat later, Helena started praying and Tarla started stacking various powers.

Although I missed the best timing because of my stubbornness, I wanted to give it a shot and start now that the transformation is not yet complete.

“Haaaaa!”

A dagger thrown out with a shout of excitement. The black light spreads out with a force that seems to erase the world.

After that, Havel’s sword and Tarla’s tentacle spear were fired, and Solari’s paw fell from the sky.

Quick grasp!

Sometimes it scatters like water, sometimes it becomes harder than steel, and sometimes it tilts at an exquisite angle to minimize all damage.

Of course, this did not nullify all the damage.

Extincted by my black light, cut by the aura, broken by the forepaws, and pierced by the tentacle spear, much of the ectoplasm covering the body was consumed, and in severe cases, even the bones inside were damaged. But…

Haha!

In the translucent ectoplasm, the huge heart visible between the white ribs began to beat and emit green energy, and everything was restored to its original state.

One who is exiled from death. A person who does not die even if he dies. Therefore, he is fearful of all living things, but on the contrary, he envies the warmth of living things.

Undead. It was a strange appearance that seemed to directly embody its meaning.

“I’m going to turn…” .”

For a moment, I sighed in confusion as to how to defeat that thing. Ajidahaka, who was standing still, must have come to his senses from the attack a moment ago, and his eyes were filled with logic. No, can I call this easy?

Hatred, resentment, resentment, anger, and jealousy.

Deep eyes with all these negative emotions mixed together. Haka Azida, with green eyes dripping down her face, opened her mouth in a creepy voice that sounded like scratching on an iron plate.

-Now I get it. You guy. It was not Fafnir’s descendant, but Fafnir himself.

“…”

It’s not nice to be caught at this time. Since he was defeated by Fafnir once, he is sure to be jealous.

And now he has become an apostle of narrow-minded usurpation. For Ajdahaka, jealousy was power.

-I don’t know how it ended up in such a bad situation. No, I’m not in a position to talk to others either. … However, I am grateful that fate allowed us to meet again like this.

Unlike a moment ago when she was in tatters, the material had changed to ectoplasm, but Azida Haka, who had completely regained her original glory, shouted in a loud voice.

-Just like you did to me, I will end your miserable life and kill everything you hold dear to avenge the past!!!!

A body that stretches straight and stiff. Dark green energy was swirling and gathering around the corner of the mouth, which seemed to be torn apart.

It is a precursor to breath. Has the cooldown already expired?

“Everyone avoid it!”

Shouting like that, he grabbed Iris, who was relatively weak in mobility, and kicked the ground.

The group scatters in all directions to avoid the range of the breath. Ajidahaka’s head tilts unnaturally and he ignores the others and begins to chase only me.

“Tsk.”

Lightly clicking her tongue, Iris threw her towards the nearest Tarla. Once Tarla had caught her by extending her tentacles, she shouted.

“What do you plan to do now?”

“I don’t know! But I can die at least once and come back to life, so wouldn’t it be okay?”

“Is there even a joke in this situation?!”

She shrugged her shoulders at Tarla, who had an unusually angry expression on her face. It’s not a joke, it’s real. You can be resurrected once with the blessings of all gods.

Well, if I can’t solve the current situation even if I’m resurrected, I’ll die one more time and that’ll be the end.

First, I poured magical energy into the dagger, intending to resist as much as possible. He also began to gather strength to respond to my trust, vibrating his hands to the point that it hurt.

But maybe he didn’t like that side of me? Ajda Haka shouted, her eyes blazing green.

-Didn’t I tell you! I will kill you and everything you hold dear!

A chunk of ectoplasm sprouted from Ajidahaka’s severed wing and shot towards us.

Sharp awls, blunt hammers, huge nets, wiggly tentacles and more. Ectoplasm comes in various forms and blocks the escape of my companions.

Actually, it was only a little annoying at this point, and I would have been able to escape somehow. The problem is that ectoplasm over a certain size can use magic like the main body, Ajidahaka.

It was as if countless magic rained down like a meteor shower from beneath its wide-spread wings. Countless fragmented ectoplasms began to spew out magic tinged with death energy.

Each one is at a manageable level, but there are too many of them, and isn’t it more important now to increase the distance as much as possible?

In the end, when their movements were restricted and they were unable to disperse properly, Solari raised her lion’s tail and asked.

“Husband! “Why don’t we band together and stop it?!”

“That was possible thanks to the castle’s defense barrier! Are you going to stop that with your bare body? “It’s impossible!”

Tarla answered for me. Despite her fierce opposition, Havel supported Helena’s hand.

“Even if you were a saint, you could be dangerous. But isn’t there me too now? The Archmage’s barrier is strong, but I can break through it. “I will try to neutralize the impact as much as possible with my sword.”

“Ajidahaka has become stronger than before! I’d rather do it another way…”

Said Iris, waving her tiny arms in the arms of her anxious Tarla.

“I understand your concerns, but can you find another way in time?”

“…”

“If not, please help her even a little. “Please.”

“… Ugh! It doesn’t work… “This seems so crazy!”

Is it because they are much more sensitive to the power of evil spirits than we are? Tarla was so afraid that her complexion turned white, but for now, she unleashed her power.

The barrier is spread with the power of curved leisure, and tentacles coated with the power of a rigid body are wrapped around it to strengthen it.

This barrier alone should be enough to block the magic pouring from the ectoplasm scattered around.

However, it is still not enough to block the subsequent breath. So Helena and Solari stick their maces into the ground and begin to pray.

White divine power blooming from both of their bodies. The ears and tail, which were fluttering, were stiffly raised, clearly expressing hostility.

Not long after, an enormous amount of light bursts out centered around Helena. A barrier that shines with strong divine power, like a small sun rising from the ground, blocks our path.

A situation where you are doubly protected by Tarla’s power barrier and Helena’s sacred barrier.

However, since we had already seen the power of the breath from afar, we were not at ease and both Havel and I were prepared to swing our weapons at any time.

I cried out reflexively at the strong wave of power that I felt soon after.

“Come… !”

A pressure that is invisible but is getting closer. And.

Kwaaaaa!!

With the explosion, the entire ground began to shake. I can’t breathe as the internal temperature quickly rises.

Tarla’s tentacles seemed to hold on for a moment, but then melted in an instant, revealing a flickering black-green flame beyond the transparent barrier.

A fierce firestorm created by the entanglement of magical power and the divine power of evil spirits. The ground outside the barrier has already melted and turned into glass, and the castle wall behind has also begun to crumble.

It was around that time that Tarla’s barrier, which had held up well until now, began to break down.

Jeok-

Faintly drawn gold. From this point on, it begins to split explosively, and soon falls apart as it cannot withstand the pressure and heat of the breath.

Cheaeng!

The breath that crosses the shattered power barrier with a bursting sound and strikes Helena’s sacred barrier.

The white-hot barrier withstood the breath for a much longer period of time than Tarla’s… In the end, I couldn’t hold out until the end.

Kwasik… Paang!

Although the momentum has decreased significantly, Breath has overcome all the barriers and reached this point.

Havel and I swung our swords at the same time in front of Sagi, who had a cold that contrasted with the heat.

“Haaaaa!”

“Sigh!”

The black light shot from the dagger and the condensed aura collided with the breath.

——————————!!

A noise so loud that you can hear tinnitus for a moment. My body trembles due to the semi-elasticity that causes the ground I stand on to cave in.

But we can’t stop here. By infusing magic into the dagger again, it somehow maintained its output, and Havel also squeezed the auror to the point where blood flowed from the corner of her mouth…

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-!!

Breath getting closer and closer.

No matter how hard I try, I can only see a future where I am ultimately swallowed by the breath. As Tarla said, it may be because he accepted more deeply the divine power of narrow-minded usurpation and became stronger.

“… Oh really!”

In the end, I gritted my teeth and hugged Iris Helena Tarla. Then she spread her wings wide and wrapped them around the three of them as if protecting them.

Havel… I’m sorry, but I can only hope that you take care of it.

“Master?!”
“Brother! Get out of the way! If this continues…”
“Ah? Ah… ?”

Iris and Helena are urgently trying to get rid of me. Tarla gaped at her mouth as if she couldn’t understand what had happened… I have no intention of getting out of the way or time to explain right now.

Just a moment to hug the three more tightly and prepare for the coming shock.

-Godfather! Come to your senses!

A young voice that seems to be slightly buzzing. And another magical storm of five lines streaked through the air.

The breath of the mite dragons was pushing away Ajidahaka’s breath.
