Superior or inferior (1)
The wizard’s eyes were filled with a murderous spirit.
“You brainwashed the apprentices to uncover information, but… what if you knew beforehand? What did you do to make this nonsense possible?”
At first, one might’ve wondered what kind of fortune that was. It was a great opportunity to capture even ‘Eraser’ while they were looking for the wizards. But for the time being, something had gone beyond imagination.
That guy was also feeling the sensation that filled that space.
It was the gaze of someone looking seriously at oneself and the unpleasantness of being watched through the neck close enough to feel the breath. Taking it a step further, it seemed that the surrounding space had been encroached on by the being as if swallowed into the stomach of a great entity.
“What’s going on right now is…”
I whispered as if to reveal a big secret.
“… That is exactly what it is, Seol! Mrs. Pearl! That is enough!”
They undid their transforming technique as soon as my words fell off. It was no longer necessary to maintain their human forms. They returned to the body that could draw out all their power.
Mrs. Pearl turned into an ancient little fox. The last time I had seen her, the fur all over her body shone like glass, but now it was engulfed in a thick flame, and the whole body was dyed with a yellowish-white lava-like glow.
Seol also returned to its original body. He showed tremendous reflexes and speed in human form, but he couldn’t draw magic as much as Mrs. Pearl. Due to his lack of defense, I handed over the artifact to him. His human form was inferior to Mrs. Pearl, after all.
Seol, who became a huge black bear, cried out loud as if it had been waiting. Intangible Mana gathered and swirled around its body. The invisible power that freely transformed according to its will was like a bone-breaking hammer, sometimes like a flesh-cutting knife.
The wizard’s face had become a spectacle.
“They are not human… The primary evolutionary native species of this land? Join their hands with the alien? No. it can’t be.”
While the wizard was confused, I was trying to expand my senses for the first time.
The one who filled that space at that time was very favorable to me since I was the one that activated the magic. Yeah, that was probably his first time in that dimension. I was sure there was no one else on Earth who received that spell.
Perhaps that was why it easily accepted my request. Every corner in that barrier, where it crept, was transformed into a sense of a thermal board that fitted in the human cognitive domain and could be seen by me.
It was a different view from ordinary detection magic. Limiting the range of encroachment through barriers was a predicted result, but after recognizing it with a sense of reality, my body trembled at how we could succeed.
What kind of entity was Parvache, who knew how to construct such a barrier?
Using its power, I was able to see vividly as if I existed everywhere at the same time within a 2 kilometers radius. I could feel everything big and small inside it. The realm of super-sensibility that I reached for the first time in my life was fascinating, and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the enormous amount of information flowing at my will.
However, if it continued like that, I would soon hit my limit. Although it was a retrograde sensation to my level, I knew I couldn’t last long.
Again, the wish was raised, the range of recognition was reduced, and so was the target.
Wizards were running from one place to another, and agents and soldiers were most of the ones that had died. The Kaifu tribes wandered and were trapped by the barrier. The same happened to the apprentices driven to the end of the mission and puzzled by the sudden change.
I realized that there were three beings in that barrier. I checked the locations of the executives, including the wizard in front of me. One was on the dormitory side, and the other was approaching that place at high speed.
I judged that all I needed was information that the executive level knew. Did I need more than a hundred apprentices who had infiltrated that space?
The answer came back soon.
“No, it wasn’t necessary.”
Moreover, that transcendental sensation I borrowed was analyzing the nature of the wizard’s Mana more than my original ability. I knew how he operated his Mana so far, how he constructed the spell, and that there were traces all over his body as if there were marks where the water flowed.
The outstanding feature of this guy’s magic was that it used living tissues. Even if I keep the apprentices alive, he would only use them as a magic material. The traces left on him taught me his battle pattern, and then I made a decision. There was no need for apprentices in that place. If I didn’t need them there, I could create the necessity by sending them to another location.
Having hardened my mind, I narrowed my awareness scope once more and limited it to about a hundred apprentices and executives, then prayed.
-Please hear my wish, give them a sign of recognition.
It responded to my call.
-Cheeeeiiiik!
“Ugh!”
Smoke rose from his facial skin, and he knelt. The wizard, who was struggling with pain for a while, raised his head. Intricate patterns were seen covering his entire face. There was also a bizarre trace that seemed to portray some creature.
Similar scenes were produced at the same time throughout the base. The same pattern appeared on the rest of the executives’ and apprentices’ bodies, and I saw them all twisting in pain.
The peculiarity of beings that lent me power also applied there. Upon hearing my wish, it left a mark on the target’s body instead of branding the soul, as it did on other occasions. The only thing it was interested in was matter.
I looked at the wizard’s face and thought, ‘Oh, that was what it looked like.’ Even if I heard Parvache’s explanation, I couldn’t see it with the naked eye, so I didn’t have a clue. Did Purbagios’ stigma on the spirit’s soul look similar to that?
I continued to wish. Perhaps it wouldn’t work for the executives, that was, the beings who had crossed the wall. I prayed with that fact in mind.
-Please give my voice to all of them.
It responded to my request with great pleasure. Everyone’s ears, which had been the subject of recognition, were opened.
I looked at their clothes, and there was a common military jackknife among the armed forces of the apprentices. I delivered my voice.
-All of you here.
The wizard’s face hardened. His eyes were blank for a moment, and then he regained the light of reason. The same goes for two executives in different spaces.
However, the response of the apprentices was utterly different.
They all lost their will as soon as they heard my voice and stopped moving at once. They held their breaths and focused as if it were a sign coming down from heaven.
Even the appearance of their surroundings was caught in my perception. Kaifu wizards, whom the apprentices chased, were staring at them in silence.
-Everyone, hold the knife on your left waist…
The wizard knelt, and his left hand flinched. It was also because he didn’t have the item, but he was resisting my voice. As expected, since it wasn’t the ‘original,’ the effect wasn’t as strong.
In most areas where my senses reached, something else happened. All of the apprentices stretched out their left hands, holding the knives, according to my voice. There was no sign of resistance there.
-Lift it…
Following my orders, over a hundred arms stretched out into the sky as if moving in a long group dance.
-Stab it in the heart.
And rivers of blood flowed all over the base.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
I felt the movement of each arm, even the little restraints, piercing the heart. The wizard barely survived, but his whole body was covered in sweat after realizing he suffered mental damage. Recognizing the corpses scattered on the floor with super senses, I spoke to him.
-I dedicate them to you.
A silent will answered me.
“I will enjoy it.”
The body was crumpled and twisted around the blade that pierced the hearts of the corpses. At that moment, the body on the floor was entirely absorbed by the weapon and eaten. It was similar to when I dedicated Lüer to Dryflos.
One more weight was put on that, and I made a little more time to keep that space. It must’ve already noticed the fact that the scale of the dimension that it had come down was ridiculously narrow. Still, I made it wait a little longer by offering a hundred flesh beings.
“Now then…”
I looked at the wizard and said, “I’m not going to do anything like emotional torture, as you said. I’m sick of blood because of the sacrifice. So, do you want to surrender?”
His face was distorted.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Of course, it would come out like that. Mrs. Pearl and Seol, who received the intention delivered through Parvache while I spoke with my voice, were already attacking him.
“Kwooooooooaaaaargh!”
Mana boiled with Seol’s roar. A cohesive force attacked around him—dozens of sharp and heavy chunks of energy. Like missiles, the wizard was stuck in the place where he was standing.
-Bang bang bang!
At that moment, his spheres stuck to his body. They lifted the wizard in the air as he modified his strategy to try and somehow escape from that place.
Unfortunately, there were no such retreat paths available. He had overcome my voice, but there were still marks on his face. I spoke once more.
-Come closer.
“Kugh!”
His body didn’t surge but staggered. It wasn’t perfect, but it was affecting him. Toward such wizard, Mrs. Pearl, that had accumulated grudge, released her Mana.
“I’ll burn you!”
Nine tails rose, and flames raged. The pillar of fire soared upwards as if blowing in the wind. Mrs. Pearl, who had a close fight before, was now launching a different type of attack.
With a sharp cry, branches of flames emanating from behind her back bent and stretched out.
-Pwuuueeeeeey!
The tail-drawing flame struck the wizard, Being conscious of the protection magic that blocked the front, that time, the intention was to hit the target in all directions at once. The wizard gripped his teeth and looked down. Their eyes clashed in the air, and…
“Damn it… Silver mirrors for magic reflection!”
Innumerable silver plane membranes surrounded the wizard. One by one, the firebombs made by Mrs. Pearl ran against the shield that looked like a round mirror. Some of them broke it and exploded together on the spot, but some bounced off! And some of them flew toward Mrs. Pearl.
She snorted, even looking at it.
“Hump!”
What the wizard attempted was a counterattack to return the spell, but the flames bouncing towards her faded in vain. When Mrs. Pearl stretched one of her tails, the flaming bombs flying in the reverse direction were naturally absorbed by the fire barrier. As if returning to the place where it was supposed to be.
Meanwhile, the flaming bombs that poured from angle. Some of them poured onto other buildings or land and exploded violently.
-Bang bang bang!
-Khrrrrrgggg!
The flames and heavy explosions bloomed all over the Hun-neung. A dizzying heat spread out.
I constantly helped through my voice, and Mrs. Pearl’s flames and Seol’s energy bullets lit up the air.
-Wheeing!
-Bang bang bang!
-Wheeerrrrrrgh!
A binge sounded, and Mana stretched out pleasantly. The wizard was busy running away, but they focused their attack in that direction to prevent his escape.
“Necrotic breath!”
He barely managed to create a spell and blew out an ominous yellow breeze…
“That again?”
In the first place, that magic had never hit today. The heat created by Mrs. Pearl burned and evaporated all organic clouds.
“Kugh…”
To stop the spell, Seol pierced him with a spear of Mana. The wizard was exhausted. If he spent a little more power, we could catch him with a spell.
“Hmm?”
And at that time, there was information that my senses told me. I quietly turned my head. I should get ready to greet other executives who would be arriving here soon.
The person marked was approaching. The supersensory beyond my limits whispered to me the roots of the executive. He had what kind of power he had, what characteristics he had, and through the traces of his existence, every piece of information was transmitted to me.
All of that was an area consented through the one, ‘Kylgeniapros’ who encroached on space.
A few months ago, the incident in which Yusu entered my living room with the Dream-Travel technique remained unforgettable to me. At that time, my house was like an iron castle that couldn’t be penetrated by any teleport spell based on my knowledge. Yes, in a ‘based on my knowledge’ method.
Parvache and I became wary of the abilities we didn’t perceive. I learned the principle by learning the leading technique myself, but I had to worry about how many magic and powers we didn’t know in that world that wasn’t recorded in Akashic Records.
Moreover, what about ascetics who served the Truth-Seekers of the Earth? It was almost impossible to predict and prepare for that ability.
Meanwhile, after searching the apprentice’s body’s memory through Yodmo, I found out that the executives all had teleport artifacts. That factor was a big headache in making a plan. I didn’t know if I could defeat them at once. What if they ran away in the middle of the battle?
The purpose of targeting the executives was to obtain information, and if they ran away, I would become a dog chasing chickens. Therefore, I had to study the countermeasures for teleporting through artifacts.
In my common sense, teleporting could be interrupted. But here I was, trapped again, returning us to the same problem.
Hence, I reached a conclusion. If I couldn’t guess what my opponent would use, I could use powerful means to overwhelm all the way, the same as beings with a higher standard than anyone else, who used their power to cut the space altogether.
And, the absolute concept that divided space I knew was the dimensions, while the highest rank I knew was God. As a result of combining the two, my thoughts reached the spells of Kylgeniapros.
