Chapter 317 - Episode Seventeen - Attack of Penrath (8)

“This book is a magical tool for sealing spirits of the highest order. This is the legendary book of Garuja, the foundation for the theory of warding that still exists today. This is the place where I’ve been keeping the artificial spirits that I’ve created and that have gotten out of control, but I’m releasing them!”
The light that leaked from the grimoire gathered in the air and became a giant black sphere.
A black mist stretched out from the sphere, forming the outline of a snake.
The haze snake had sixteen, perhaps thirty-two, glowing red eyeballs on each side.
When its mouth opened wide, there was also a huge bright red single eye at the back of the mouth, looking around.
In a flash, three similar heads appeared, increasing the number of heads to three.
Like Nalgarn, it had three heads, but it looked nothing like that.
In the first place, that is a magical beast, and this one is an artificial spirit.
“Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnn!!”
According to Penrath, it was the evil spirit dragon Azhidhaka.
The Azhidhaka opened its three mouths and cried out in an annoying voice.
Following this, the central sphere also has a myriad of mouths, each of which makes a different sound.
“Levi-sama! Please, please, please forgive me for my incompetence! I couldn’t win against Abel …… after all, I’m not his vessel! But for that reason, I will take him to hell myself! This is all for the sake of Levi-sama!”
Penrath folded his hands tightly and shouted to the sky.
As if to answer Penrath’s wish, Azhidhaka shouts again.
From the black hazy sphere of Azhidhaka, a myriad of black haze-like winged insects appear.
It seems to have detached its own spirit bodies and are using them.
Azhidhaka’s winged insects descended into the area.
The flowers and plants within a one-meter radius of where the worm’s feet touched the ground shriveled and rotted.
“A, Abel-dono! As expected, that thing looks bad, doesn’t it?”
Euris looked at Azhidhaka and panicked.
“Thi-This is ……”
I couldn’t speak quickly enough either.
The shock of seeing Azhidhaka was too strong.
I couldn’t stop my mouth from opening.
“Abel…! You will die with me! Ahahahahaha! Azhidhaka is not a spirit that can be dealt with by human hands! The only way to seal this thing is to use Garuja’s Book or a sealing wand of equal or greater power! There’s no way you can do that, though! How about it? Do you want to take it from me? Ahahahaha!”
Penrath started crying and laughing like a madman.
Apparently, he’s shocked that the Chimera Dragon had been taken down so easily.
“Abellll! I, I will never accept you! It’s impossible for a sorcerer like you to simply deny everything in my life! I’m Take this Spirit Dragon’s appearance as my anger! The roar of this Spirit Dragon is my sorrow!”
Penrath shouted.
The Azhidhaka flew towards me.
At the same time, a large number of insect spirits are also coming towards me.
“A, Abel-dono! Do you want to run? No, let’s run! That’s definitely not good!’
I was looking at Azhidhaka with narrowed eyes, but then I looked back at Euris and shook my head.
“Ah …… No, that is only a deceptive appearance.”
“What ……?”
“It’s not stable as a spirit at all. It’s a terrible thing …… and it’s completely just a matter of forcibly cutting and splicing the spirits together and forcing them into shape.”
Penrath’s face turned bright red as he watched.
“K-Kill him, Azhidhaka! Kill him, kill himmmmm!”
It’s in the experimental stage, but it’ll do.
I wave my wand.
“Wind, carry.”
An Ortem made of various ores spliced together appeared in my hands.
The large number of insects that leaked out of the Azhidhaka came as if to cover my vision.
“So, if the sorcery uses that Ortem as the intermediary, can you stand against that spirit?”
Euris asks me.
“It’s not exactly magic, because it doesn’t require any activation magic and it doesn’t involve a magic circle.”
“It’s not magic?”
“Yes, this Ortem was originally created for the theoretical formation of the magic wave tower. It can convert the wavelength of magic power it receives and send it flying. If you give it magic power, it will do it by itself using the embedded magic ore, so there is no need for a magic circle. All you have to do is to put magic power into it. The magic ores used in this Ortem are mithril, Nyakua stone, and ……”
“I’ll ask you about your knowledge next time, but for now, please take care of the crisis at hand, Abel-dono!”
I nodded my head in a small way when Euris told me.
You’re going to ask me again next time? I’d like to be able to talk about it in more depth.
“For now, please look carefully okay.”
I held the Ortem tightly and let the magic flow into it.
The insect spirits that had been flying towards us, from the side closest to me, shattered and disappeared into the air.
“…… W-What, what the hell did you do?”
Penrath calls out to me with a puzzled look on his face.
“Can’t you tell that by looking?”
Penrath’s face tenses up and turns red again.
“But you can’t prevent the Azhidhaka! Tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute power!”
Azhidhaka’s serpent’s head entwines as it closes on to me.
I put magic power into my hands once again.
The three heads of Azhidhaka’s are shaved off as they approach me and disappear.
As if sensing something, Azhidhaka pulls her head back, but it’s too late.
The collapse that had already begun would not stop.
The three heads went into a rage, but more and more of the spirit body collapsed and scattered.
Azhidhaka spun around and turned his back to me, trying to escape, but a huge hole appeared in the sphere, rapidly wearing away its mass, and it disappeared in a flash.
Penrath stood there stunned.
“Wha- ……? Wha-, eh? Wha-……?”
“A-Abel-dono, this is ……”
“Because of the forced connection, Azhidhaka has become terribly unstable as a spirit. I used magical wavelengths to cause resonance and severed all connections between the spirit units.”
The logic is simple.
I sent a magic wave of the specified wavelength through the Ortem to the spirit body of Azhidhaka, and dismantled it.
This is not a method that can normally be used, but since Penrath’s artificial spirit was a stable cut and paste production, the bonding of the spirit body was extremely weak.
However, the wavelength of Azhidhaka’s spirit is not unique.
It is necessary to determine the differences between the different parts of the body, and then precisely match the wavelength of the magic power and release it.
“So you’re saying that you combined the wavelengths of magic and radiate it to destroy it? There’s no way that’s possible! I understand it as a theory! But this is only possible in theory, in an ideal state! In reality, there are all kinds of uncertainties involved! Without having studied it, without having seen it in action, without having seen it on the spot, there is no way …… no way …… this …… this ……”
Penrath’s mouth quivered and tears welled up in his eyes.
The grimoire fell from Penrath’s hand and rolled away.
It seems that he has run out of ideas.
“You mean it already exists! The one who has reached the realm of the golden alchemist, the concept closest to the truth of this world, the one that this fool has been seeking for so long ……!”
……on?
“Or God ……! I didn’t know that the God of Truth had already descended into this world ……!”
The tears in Penrath’s eyes spilled out in large drops, and he fell to his knees and hung his head.
