Chapter 436 - Episode Eighty-Two - Old Spirits (4)

This took care of Sim and James.
I don’t know if I was able to defeat them, but at least neither of them should be in a condition to return to the fight right now.
Sim was probably just a decoy at best, but James was the key to the attack.
He was probably the only one who could control chaos magic.
I’m sure Count Julem’s magic has been severely damaged by the flood magic earlier.
“…… still want to go?”
I glare at Count Julem, who stands on the tail of a wooden dragon.
Before I knew it, Shame was already at the side of Count Julem.
Shame is holding what looks like a shriveled, charred volleyball in his hand.
I wonder what it is, so It’s Sim.
…… No way, you can revive from that?
I had lost track of Shame’s movements, but it seems she was running to retrieve Sim.
It seems that she is not particularly good at combat.
“I guess we’ll have to move up our schedule. I was going to stay down until Kudor weakened …… I never thought I’d have to use that thing against Abel-chan.”
Shame shook her head slightly and held out her hands as if to say she’s giving up.
“Bye-bye, Abel-chan. And now, Julem, please do it quickly. I’m pretty scared too.”
At that moment, a line ran across Count Julem’s face, splitting it in two.
The cross-section was filled with fangs, like sharks.
Count Julem ate Shame and Sim all together.
“Wha ……!”
Shame’s arm, which was sticking out, twitched.
She lost her color, melted, and was sucked straight into Count Julem’s chasm.
…… did he absorb Shame and Sim?
Perhaps …… Count Julem and the others were originally one high-ranking spirit that was separated apart.
Count Julem, James, Shame, Sim, and Jeem are all probably the same high-ranking spirits.
For demons, too, Bunrei must be a dangerous phenomenon that can destroy the ego and self-identity.
(t/n: Bunrei is what they called a spirit or demons that separated a part of themselves to produce a new spirit or demon.)
A new demon born from a Bunrei may have a different purpose.
Perhaps the name is superimposed in order to control it as much as possible.
Are you planning to return to your original unity by taking in the alter spirits?
No, there is no way they can do that casually.
I’ve never heard of such a precedent of spirits separated as a Bunrei merging back together.
If it was easy to do, Count Julem and others would have used it more casually.
In the first place …… I don’t think that four bodies that have lost their spirit bodies would pose much of a threat if they were combined.
It’s not like we’re missing a whole lot of Jeem.
…… but I’ve been sensing something disturbing in their behavior.
…… Count Julem’s left and right bodies were unnaturally slightly out of alignment even after the section was closed.
“…… You shouldn’t have pushed us this far, you know. It’s a shame for me, too. I wasn’t going to let that thing out until Kudor was weakened.”
Count Julem moved his mouth from side to side and said plainly.
“What are you saying after losing ……”
“We high-ranking spirits don’t like to take chances, you know. You really think that we were going to challenge Kudor with only the World War and Moebius to rely on?”
…… High-ranking spirits don’t take chances.
That’s what Sim said.
As one of the providences of this world, the high spirits that have lived for eternity do not like to put themselves in danger because of temporary emotions, as humans do.
It’s true that even if we start a war and send all the forces in the world against Kudor, or even if we persistently hit him with Moebius, I don’t think it will be that big of a decisive factor.
Although Kudor is the guardian deity of the Dinrat Kingdom, if he is cornered, he will surely choose to destroy Count Julem rather than suffer some damage to his land and people.
If Count Julem and his men were able to take on the challenge efficiently, they would have less than a 20 percent chance of winning with the forces they have in sight.
…… It is somewhat unnatural that Count Julem and the others, who have spent so much time planning to overthrow Kudor, would take such an uncertain measure.
“We have acquired a mighty power that surpasses even Kudor. But …… it is too vast to be fully controlled. If I put too much power into it, I could destroy the entire world at worst.”
“A, a power that surpasses Kudor ……?”
…… Is that even possible?
Even Kudor has been restricted in his actions due to his excessive storage of magic.
I mean …… If there’s a monster greater than Kudor, I can’t do anything about it.
“This is the reason why it is necessary to weaken Kudor …… before using the trump card so that I can use as little power as possible. All of this was for nothing, though, because of you. It’s like crushing a goblin with a dragon, but …… it can’t be helped. You were too strong.”
Count Julem kicked the tail of the wooden dragon and jumped down …… but then he flew in a straight line high into the sky at a tremendous speed.
In the middle of the flight, Count Julem’s outline collapsed and he became just a mass of green light.
“After him! Sacred Flames!”
The wooden dragon spat out a barrage of fireballs from its mouth.
However, after chasing it halfway, he changed his trajectory to a straight line and flew away from the target to an unrelated place.
“So he got away.”
…… It’s moving too fast for us to chase it now ……
“Y, you got rid of it? As expected of Marren. …… No, our new compatriot! I give you the right to call me by name!”
Olviga clapped his hands in delight.
…… but apparently, that may not be enough.
Count Julem’s green light was being sucked far into the sky …… into the moon Din, which was approaching the ground in a big way.
Another feeble light from the lower part of the magic tree Alberut flew directly above, following Count Julem.
Perhaps that was James.
Is this movement a result of the gravity of the Moon Din?
You’ve gone to a lot of trouble to set me up for a fight, and now you’re going to leave the battle at this time to gather Count Julem’s group in Moon Din? ……?
An unpleasant thought passed through my mind.
Kudor is an artificial spirit weapon created to protect the Dinrat Kingdom, and is capable of sensing a powerful mass of magic that could be an enemy.
Kudor believed that Count Julem was trying to bring Moebius, a weapon from Moon Din, to the land to counter Kudor’s sensory abilities.
But it was not enough. It was unlikely that Kudor would be hypersensitive to Moebius’ magical power.
It’s true that he had a certain amount of power, but if you only look at the maximum output of magic, he’s at least as good as Count Julem.
…… Moebius is only one of the forces at work, but there are more dangerous forces at work in Moon Din, aren’t there?
I thought that the reason Count Julem was taking the risk of separating the spirits with Bunrei was because he was afraid of Kudor’s sensing ability and was afraid to stay in one body.
If the magic power was dispersed, it would be less likely to be caught by detection.
But if Count Julem was a much more vicious spirit, and even if he divided his spirit body somewhat, he still couldn’t escape Kudor’s sensing ability, how would he act?
If I were him, I might hide the main body somewhere safe and use only a small portion of the spirit body as a body for walking around on the ground to create a Bunrei.
Count Julem has a safe place to hide it.
“Don’t tell me, the main body is in …… Moon Din?”
“A, Abel …… what the heck was that guy talking about just now ……?”
Mea walks up to me and asks timidly.
“Ohhh, so you’re Abel. They’ve called you that a few times too! Abel, now that all the excitement is over …… will you return me to the castle?”
Olviga also runs without hesitation.
“I’m sorry, but I may not have time to send you back. Anyway, it’s not a good time to be near the Moon Din. I need to get back to Dinrat Kingdom now.”
“W-What did you say! Are you going to break your promise! Send me back to the Elves’ Castle! Please send me back! Don’t drag me into this! It does not matter if I’m here or not!”
At that moment …… the Moon Din in the sky was cracked.
The shattered remnants are falling as countless huge meteorites.
Olviga also crawled on top of the wooden dragon and stared up at the sky.
“Tha, that’s ridiculous …… I-If the Moon Din, the symbol of the High Elves, is gone, we will perish, you know ……?”
A huge face was peeking out from behind a crack in the moon din.
“Wh-What is that monster ……”
Mea said dumbfounded
I was also speechless at the sheer eeriness of it.
The huge face looks like a dragon …… but it has a mess of different sized eyeballs, all of which are glaring at me with hatred.
