Chapter 262 - Episode Nine - Ruinous Sorcerer Ruin (2)
“The, the magical power that was put into the fireball magic just now is only 30% ……?”
Peter looked up at the Noir girl from his prone position with astonishment in his eyes.
The Noir girl ignores Peter and pointed her large staff to me.
When Mea heard Peter’s voice, she sneaked out of the carriage and spoke to me in a small voice.
“Abel …… Well, how great is 30% of the magic she just did?”
“It’s not that great, is it? I don’t know what her intentions for using magic tools to control it. I thought it might be a congenital magic disorder or something. ……”
The face of the Noir girl holding the staff turns grim.
“Ahhhhh! You’re talking too loud, Abel! That’s why I asked you in secret! It’s because you say things like that anyway!”
“Let’s see how long that composure lasts …… Marren! Flame, form, ball”
The girl from the Noir tribe raises her staff to the sky.
A ball of flame appears …… about eight meters in diameter, exactly five thirds larger than the previous one.
It is true that the declaration of 30% now and 50% next time was not a lie. But so what is the point.
“I will burn you to the bone! My name is Ruin! I’ve given up my birth name long ago! Everyone fears me as ruin itself, and that has become my name! I admit it. I was born with no control over the details of magic. You, Marren, may excel in your little skills, but …… my magic will crush them all! If you can drown it out, show it to me ……”
I pointed my wand at the sky.
“Flame, form, ball”
I created a ball of flame about 20 meters in diameter, far above my head.
“…………”
The girl from the Noir tribe said without effort.
She looked up at my ball of flame with a stunned look on her face.
Then she sluggishly lowers her arms. The ball of flame that the Noir girl had been representing dissipated and returned to be magic power, then disappeared.
Peter, with his mouth wide open, looked up at my ball of flame and did not move his face. It was as if I had him pinned to the neck with a stake.
I looked back at Mea.
“Look, Mea. It’s easy if you just increase the scale. Even if you ask me to double the size of the current one, it will be easy.”
“…… Ah, yes.”
I deployed my warding, compressed the ball of flame, and released it into the ocean.
The ocean changes shape as if it were gouged into a sphere, and a large column of water rises.
A few moments later, large drops of rain began to fall on us.
“The important thing is not the scale, but the power, and how well the magic is perfected so that it is difficult for the opponent to interfere. If the scale is large, but there are many gaps, a simple magic can easily destroy it and If the magic is simple, without encryption, and the activation is slow, the opponent can erase the magic circle, or in the worst case, rewrite it and use it against you.”
“Well, I’m very happy to hear your …… lecture, but can I ask you another time? Look, that girl …… is definitely angry.”
I’m sure she won’t come at me again after I’ve shown her the difference so well.
I understand. When I was a little, I’ve been surprised at myself because when I put my magic in without hesitation, it was more powerful than I expected.
I guess that’s how Ruin or something misunderstood it too.
But what was really important was beyond that.
Ruin stepped back, her whole body shaking with fear.
Her face was completely pale, and his dark eyes were wide open.
Sweat was dripping down her face.
“It’s not supposed to be this way… no, Marren is supposed to be a technique expert… Ru-, Rupel told me not to let anyone near…… Rupel……”
Ruin’s expression tightened, as if she had made up her mind.
But her face is still pale. She holds the cane in her left hand, places her right hand over her heart, and presses her fingers together.
At the moment when the magic power is in Ruin’s hand …… a cracking sound of crystal resonates from her heart.
The robe is scorched, and from behind it you can see her bare skin and a large magic crystal embedded in the bottom of her neck.
The magic crystal had a large crack in it.
“Fu, fufu …… It’s been eight years …… I haven’t felt it I blew up my hometown! I’ve never used magic without a magic reducing crystal!”
Ruin raised her wand.
A large magic circle unfolds all around the area.
The red blood vessels in Ruin’s eyes begin to spread out.
“Abel …… it looks like we’re going to get something amazing.”
Mea called out to me in a somewhat anxious manner.
I shook my head.
If the body changes as a result of the use of magic, it is a sign that the body has not caught up with the magic power.
In order to get your body accustomed to your own magic power, you need to train yourself in meditation, Ortem carving, and body magic circulation.
This is what happens when you fail to do so.
Meditation, Ortem carving, and body magic circulation are also the basis of training to increase magical power.
It is clearly a lack of training that causes such abnormalities to appear in the body.
The magic of such a sorcerer is not something to be feared.
“Sorry …… Rupel. But I! I! I’ll do my part properly!”
Ruin thrusts her staff into the ground.
I also deployed my magic circle and quickly waved my wand.
“Earth, Ruin”
“Earth, Transform!”
Almost following Ruin’s lead, I chant the spell.
Starting from Ruin’s staff, a large, white circle spreads out.
It was nothing more than a mass of magic power that served as a medium to transmit vibrations to the ground.
The white circle continues to spread, twice, three times.
“W-Why …… Why is nothing happening ……?”
“Because I altered the ground.”
She kicked the ground with her heels.
Ruin’s magic is to make the ground vibrate.
If this had been done, Peter, Ruin, and all of Peter’s men would have been wiped out.
The range was roughly a kilometer in diameter. She’s going to use some annoying magic.
If this whole area collapses, Lark’s troubles will increase again, and I will be the prime suspect.
I had made the ground within the area resistant to Ruin’s magic and hardened it as insurance before Ruin’s magic took effect.
Since Ruin only used simple magic circles, it was easy to deflect the wavelength of the magic structure of the ground, effectively nullifying Ruin’s magic.
“I-impossible to …… N-No way …… D-dream …… such a …… thing as constructing a magic circle to fit the spot and use it over a wide area.”
Ruin took the wand out of her hand and fell to the ground.
I put my wand away.
In the end, what was this child all about?
“Peter, are you okay?”
When I shouted, Peter’s whole body trembled, and he tried to escape by forcibly pulling his limbs, which were fixed with stakes.
“Hii! Hiiiiiii!”
I’m not sure if the guy who restrained him gave him a terrible time or not, but it seems he’s still delirious.
