Chapter 416 - Episode Sixty-Two - A Visitor from the Fire Country (12)(Side: Jeem)

Jeem was alone, running on the outskirts of Fage territory.
He was completely defeated.
He had misjudged the timing of his retreat, and even exposed his trump card, “Kyouka Suigetsu”, only to have his magic drained and gain nothing.
His subordinates were killed, he was unable to proceed with the investigation of Abel’s tower, and he had to flee without killing the collector who had interfered with him.
Jeem stopped and stared behind him.
“But …… know that you’ll have to pay a heavy price for my enmity, Fage territory. This little frontier territory will be wiped off the map.”
It is no exaggeration to say that Jeem, the puppet of the king of the powerful Maharaun Kingdom, is the most powerful being in the human world.
The influence of the Maharaun Kingdom is that great.
In terms of national power, the Maharaun Kingdom is on par with the Dinrat Kingdom, but in terms of pure strength (if you exclude Abel), the Maharaun Kingdom is head and shoulders above the rest.
Now, with a single thought from Jeem, he can change the course of the world in any way he likes.
Neither the Riveras Church Kingdom nor the Galshard Kingdom can ignore the movements of the Maharaun Kingdom.
Only Alfheim, the sky country, can resist through sheer will.
But the sky country of Alfheim had already been seized from different sides.
“Hihoho …… I will not leave a single speck of dust of you guys behind after you resist me, the true ruler of the world, Jeem. I hope you realize, after all this time, what a powerful opponent you’ve been fighting. Now, let us begin …… the world war! Hihohohohoho! The killing of fellow humans will continue for the next thousand years! This will be the place where it begins!”
Jeem laughed by himself as he imagined the future devastation of the Fage territory.
Then he snapped his neck in an eerie movement that was clearly too much bending.
“I know Gillemeim will disagree …… but I’m not going to drag this out any further. However, I never thought I would have to use so much power on a human. I hadn’t done anything like this in thousands of years, not even with a spirit, haven’t I? Hihoho …… You can be proud, collector. I, who have lived for a long time, will probably never be able to use this much power against a human.”
As Jeem turned around, he saw something standing on a tree in the distance.
He squinted his eyes to see what the object was. It seemed to be a small wooden doll.
Before he could realize what it meant, Ortem’s mouth twitched and a magic circle unfolded.
“Carry”
It was the teleportation magic.
A white-haired young man appeared out of the magic circle and touched the tree trunk in a dangerous manner.
Then his red eyes, brimming with magic, found Jeem.
“You, you are ……”
Jeem’s eyes widened and he stepped back slightly.
There was no mistaking this distinctive race.
It was none other than Abel Belek.
“…… So you’ve returned to the Fage territory!”
“Count Julem’s crew, huh.”
Abel said depressingly.
After James had escaped, Abel had memorized the magic power of James’ spirit, which had been vaporized in the Spirit Collapse, into an Ortem and used it as a Julem detector.
He had also used it to return to the Fage territory this time.
And since there was a reaction to the Julem detection Ortem, I had the Ortem precede me, and I had engraved a formula to use teleportation magic to summon myself when I found it.
“…… By the looks of it, it looks like the retrieval of Moebius’ container has been completed as planned. I thought Abel had killed Count Julem in a hurry.”
Jeem held his hands out in front of him in a stance.
His body was covered with muscle fibers like the roots of a plant, and he took on a deformed appearance.
He plans to intercept Abel with the “Dragon Flow”.
“It would be fun to capture him alive and keep him for myself, but I’ve been nailed so many times for not knowing what he’s capable of. It would be troublesome if he were to return to the Fage territory, so let’s kill him here.”
Abel is an excellent alchemist who has overturned the history of magic several times by himself, but in terms of combat, Jeem estimated that he could do it all by himself.
Abel’s magical power output is a threat to humans, but it is slightly less than that of the spirit Count Julem, and not far from Kudor.
In particular, the total amount of magic power that a human being has is far less than that of a spirit after all.
That was how Count Julem and the others had settled on Abel’s evaluation.
“Carry”
A magic circle appeared on both sides of Abel, and two new Ortems appeared.
“Transmute”
A metal ball appeared right next to Abel.
It was a lump of Hydeem Magimetal, a unique metal smelted by magic from magic, spirits, and atmospheric elements.
While Abel was chanting, Jeem jumped from tree to tree, closing the distance at once.
He extended his arm and grabbed Abel from his blind spot.
A mass of Hydeem Magi metal reacted and attacked Jeem.
Jeem pressed the bottom of his palm against the surface of the metal.
With that, the metal mass easily shatters and sends him flying backwards.
It was the power of “Dragon Flow” that completely added the opponent’s power to his own.
Abel’s eyes widened as he looked back at the light in front of him.
“Hihoho …… I heard you were very confident in your magic.”
“Carry”
Abel used his teleportation magic to move to another nearby branch to get some distance.
“Hihohohoho! What’s the matter, crazy sorcerer? Is keeping distance the best you can do? Why don’t you shoot a magic bullet? You’ll never hit anything like that, though.”
The Ortem blocked the way for Jeem.
Jeem crushed it with the bottom of his palm.
The Ortem hollowed out, lost its outline, and fell.
“…… Transmute.”
A large metal ball floated between Abel and Jeem.
It was the Hydeem Magimetal again.
“You have no more tricks …… then let’s get this over with.”
Jeem jumped at the metal ball.
The metal ball that began to move snapped Jeem’s outstretched arm and hit him directly in the body.
“…… Ah?”
The metal ball flew in a straight line, snapped the trees in between Jeem, and fell to the ground.
Jeem kicked the metal ball just in time to escape, and was saved from being crushed in the nick of time.
“Nonsense, why can’t the “Dragon Flow” pass through? This can’t be ……”
“The advantage of Hydeem Magimetal is that you can reconfigure its molecular structure as you wish. Did you really think that the same trick would work twice?”
Abel mouthed, sniffling.
“What ……?”
Jeem couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
If this is true, then with just the contact that he had just made, he had completely figured out the mechanism of Jeem’s “dragon flow,” had instantly constructed in his mind a manufacturing method for Hydeem Magimetal that would not allow the “dragon flow” to pass, and had completely recreated the metal in his brain with transmutation magic.
I knew he was a monster as an alchemist, but I didn’t think he was this good.
No, there was no way he could do that.
“Im-Impossible! You knew about my martial arts beforehand and prepared a countermeasure! Tha-That’s right! That must be it!”
“It’s a simple and interesting trick, but because of that, it can be countered in any number of ways. It can’t be the main technique in battle, it’ll be a hidden trump card at best.”
“W-What ……?”
Jeem’s expression hardened.
The “Dragon Flow” was the ultimate in martial arts and magic that Jeem had achieved by using eternal life that was impossible in his own body.
It was originally a fictional technique that had been defined as unrepeatable by humans since ancient times, but he took advantage of his strength as a spirit to perfect it.
He managed his own spirit body in its smallest unit, and through meticulous control, he was able to bounce back the impact in every direction at one hundred percent.
It was an absolute shield and an invincible pike.
“Are you saying that it’s a hidden trump card at best ……?”
Jeem’s voice quivered with anger.
Abel ignored Jeem, chanted the same spell as before, and waved his wand.
The same Hydeem Magimetal spheres as before appeared around Abel, eight in total.
“I know from last time that if I try to catch him carelessly, he’ll run away. I have to do my best to kill him.”
