Chapter 179 – Chapter 179 – Promise (22)

Sorcerer’s Jin (術致者-辰)

It is a esoteric secret that can only be used by those who have mastered one spell and attained enlightenment.

An ultimate skill that can reveal everything about the spell within a random area you created.

It was natural that Merlin, who was still breathing, would use the sorcerer’s gin.

Watching them use it right in front of me, I was annoyed.

“… Shit!”

In the fight between sorcerers and sorcerers that reached the extreme, the existence of the sorcerer’s true spirit was the last resort.

Instead of showing the end of the sorcerer’s realm by developing the mental realm of witchcraft.

Because there was a huge backlash.

Even if it is a shaman with a difference in skill, by attracting them to the camp of the same sorcerer.

Even if he is killed by the other party in the true eye of the sorcerer who developed together.

The moment Sulchija’s gin ends, it was Sulchija’s jin that was used in the name of giving the other person a helpless moment.

But to me it meant something different.

An extremely advantageous situation, but an absurd sorcery that can be overturned at once.

In a normal case, it would have been possible to continue the advantageous high ground.

Since my sorcerer’s gin wasn’t complete yet, that final outburst was extremely fatal to me.

“Will you listen to this old man’s last play?”

Merlin waved her one and only right arm and greeted me gracefully.

Having no choice, I lit the cigarette built into the armor.

Hwareuk.

As he lit the end of his cigarette with Yangki, the smoke spread through the armor.

Of course, it was no ordinary cigarette.

My father’s divine object that can temporarily pump yin energy.

Before coming out here, I lit a cigarette given to me by Kim Ji-hye.

In order for the armor to absorb that power smoothly, the scales were moved.

Charrrr.

The slightly open armor rotated so that the smoke could permeate everywhere.

Kii-i-!

The scales rotated around the central blue jewel.

Correspondingly, the yin energy inside my body rapidly amplified.

“Turn it off.”

The time when I clenched my fists and somehow controlled the vast musical instrument.

Merlin whispered.

“The Sorcerer’s Essence”

Whiik.

The staff in his right hand drew an arc.

At the same time, a white light centered on Merlin exploded.

“The Delusion Orchestra”

The white light that exploded in an instant covered the area where I was.

Because it was a spell that could not be avoided in the first place.

Without panicking, I immediately looked into Merlin’s territory.

Podium, dome-shaped ceiling.

As if I had entered a concert hall, before I knew it, I was standing on a podium with sparkling white lights.

There were strange writings all around me.

Just like the name of the delusion orchestra, as if it were a performer.

The geometric letters placed in rows and at regular intervals uttered small sounds.

“How is it?”

And Merlin appeared from above.

Merlin raised her body on a platform floating in the air and asked me about my impressions.

Like a child with anticipation, the corners of her mouth stretched out.

Merlin snapped her arms open as if introducing her own toy.

Missing one of her arms, she looked ridiculous.

Its bizarre shape was more appropriate in this space.

“It’s my orchestra. It’s what I’ve seen and learned all my life.”

Giiing-.

When he gestured lightly with Merlin’s wand, one letter let out a cry.

“Flame, that’s the first letter I learned.”

Pew-!

Bright red flames exploded over my armor.

“…!”

A sound was heard, and the spell was realized without any foreshadowing.

Obstructed by armor, looking at the dying flames.

I slowly looked around.

“… Fuck.”

Ppaegok, the writing that is holding a seat countless times.

At the curse I spat out, Merlin vomited madness as if he thought I had finally understood this space.

“That’s right, this is my own orchestra. From my father, from a monster, from a shaman. My own orchestra that I learned, created, and imitated.”

Giiing-.

As Merlin swung her wand, the writing in her hand made her tremble.

Not one, but dozens of shaking tremors.

It echoed in all directions and was amplified by the domed ceiling.

And my body listening to this music.

Poo-!

She was on her knees, not knowing what had happened to her.

“… Cool.”

Fighting.

A part of the armor broke off.

Swallowing her blood, I forced myself to look up.

Merlin swung her wand again, as if it wasn’t over yet.

Dozens of letters sang.

They, each with a different meaning, embraced each other.

Humming the music of the time that always resonates in her head, following Merlin’s movement as she wields her wand.

The letters became sentences and sang.

“… Whoop.”

Shhh-!

She wanted to somehow find the law to break up, but she swung her sword at the nearest letter.

Like a mirage, it just sways in the air.

No damage was done to the writing.

“I wanted to tell you. My life, my creations, my everything.”

Merlin lightly waved her arm.

Her handwriting fluctuated even more as the movement gradually became more agitated.

Geeeeeing-!

Those, which were one melody, gradually grew bigger as they connected each other.

Just like classical music approaching the highlights.

The music filling the podium grew louder.

“… Cool.”

There was blood in the mouth.

Spitting out blood, I realized I had no more options.

Merlin’s sorcerer’s gin, delusion band.

Giving time to this sorcery was defeat.

When Merlin first showed up, she should have risked everything.

It was a crowd now that the music was blaring in all directions.

“Shit.”

Realizing that the ridiculous behavior was all there to buy time, I let out an absurd laugh.

Merlin was looking down at me with her expectant eyes.

‘I’ll show you.’

As if he had been waiting for this from the beginning, Merlin grinned.

I also had no other options, so I immediately gathered all the remaining yin energy in the armor.

“The Sorcerer’s Essence”

Pounding.

The yin and yang mingled, making a roar.

Feeling the energy spreading in all directions, I whispered.

“Reverse World”

Above the platform, which was spread in pure white light, a gray space was covered.

Jjaaeaeeng-!

The space overlaps, and a strange sound resonates.

The pure white light was dyed with gray and mixed with strange colors.

Haha!”

As Merlin watched this, she swung her wand in delight.

Gii-i-!

Like melted paint, the sluggish letters spat out sounds.

However, it was not a clear sound like before, but a sound that was crushed somewhere.

“……”

I quietly waved my hand in the space I had spread out.

Keying-!

The reversed sound swallowed up the sound that the letter spat out.

Silence has arrived.

The grey-white space gradually expanded the space and melted all the letters.

“Ah… You… You…!”

Merlin raised her voice as if she had realized something.

Merlin’s expression was blissful, even as her own drunkenness was gradually neutralized.

She didn’t know what kind of effect she had before.

Now that I have grown up, I have a rough sense of what this reversal world is like.

I opened my golden eyes and began to tune my world.

Woo woo woo-!

The inverted writing and the grayish-white color gradually faded.

Gritting my teeth, being careful not to change too much.

I encroached on Merlin’s space and went out.

“Your existence is paradoxical.”

As if she no longer cared about her own magic, Merlin let out her laugh at me.

I ignored her Merlin, and one after another erased her Merlin’s magic.

Extreme counter-type magic.

It can reverse the other person’s magic and make it completely non-existent.

In addition, in a space where you can even summon existences other than common sense if you want to.

I gritted my teeth and tried to adjust somehow.

“Did you know…?! Your existence is a paradox itself. You have the shadow magic of reversal, and the power of a dragon suitable for everything.”

Merlin came over to me despite her own body blurring, she didn’t care.

I swung my bankruptcy sword.

Poo-wook.

Too easily, the bankruptcy sword went into Merlin’s body.

Merlin’s remodeled body tried to recover naturally, but this was my territory.

Spitting out blood for the first time, Merlin captured me with eyes filled with joy.

“It’s a mixture of dragon’s blood and sorcerer’s blood. You and… Do you know?”

Her own vitality is fading, Merlin told me in a most upbeat tone.

“That your existence is heterogeneous. You… You…”

Merlin smiled brightly.

“You mean like me.”

Without a word, I drew her Merlin’s body.

Tuduk.

Blood spread in all directions, but Merlin continued to vomit madness.

“It’s interesting, so interesting. Alas… I’m sorry. Just a little more… If only I could think a little more…”

Even as Merlin wriggled on the floor, she didn’t take her eyes off me.

I just stared blankly at Merlin.

“Ah… Ah… A little more…”

The light faded from Merlin’s eyes.

Looking at my empty eyes before I knew it, I withdrew the spirit of the sorcerer I had developed.

* *

Some lonely cave.

A person who was leaning against the dark outer wall where not even light came in moved excitedly.

Flash.

In line with her movements, In-young’s two pupils were revealed.

Golden eyes with impressive vertical pupils.

“Huh.”

After letting her moan out in pain, In-young slowly raised her body by touching the outer wall.

She had to go

Even if it’s not enough as it is now.

If I delayed it further, the opportunity wouldn’t exist.

Crying.

In-Young spit out the unstable blood from her throat, activating her senses.

Let’s open the senses that she has been hiding so far so that no one else can see her.

A lot of information came in.

And among them.

There was one piece of information that really stood out.

“Brother…?”

Because it was so precious, I muttered the name that ran away.

In-young removed her foot.

Jerk, jerk.

The footsteps he stumbled on gradually became quicker.

Like that, In-young started moving towards her somewhere.
