305. Melee (1)
A smile forms on Alton’s goat-like face.
[ .... ]
I think I put on a poker face in my own way to hide my intentions
.
Right now, Alton is obviously looking down on me, and he’s staring at me as if he’s aiming for prey.
‘So absurd.’
sure
Even if this is not a skill to read emotions mastered through faith, is it not obvious?
cradle.
The answer was fixed at the time I was invited to a meeting where only a 1:1 duel would determine the ranking of monarchs.
That’s very certain.
‘At least I didn’t invite me to a duel meeting with good intentions.’
Perhaps what Alton wants is my seat.
alkyd.
In the position obtained by killing the goblin, the 62nd ruler of the Demon Realm, Alton was showing the light of greed.
And in fact, he had been secretly interested in the position of the 62nd monarch.
‘Is it because I’m inviting you to a place like a cradle because I want to get a seat that I have?’
After thinking for a while, I was able to read Alton’s purpose.
But even so, he had no intention of not falling for Alton’s numbers.
If you stay like this anyway, you will have to fight a melee surrounded by countless lords of the demon realm.
Perhaps because Alton knows this, he shines the light of greed so confidently.
“I’ll ask you to make a wise choice...”
Actually
...
Suddenly, Alton bent his eyes like a snake and spoke as if threatening.
‘...It’s fun.’
At this point, even if I was curious, I wanted to shake off Alton’s base cloth.
What the hell are you hiding, do you think you can overwhelm me with that level of skill at best?
Even if you are an apostle serving an ancient deity, there must be limits anyway.
I was intrigued to think that maybe I had received some kind of power from an ancient deity.
‘I need to at least find out what I believe in and how confident I am.’
It was worth it.
If you’re hiding something like an apostle of an ancient deity, you’ll be able to use it as it is.
And above all, isn’t there information obtained from Alton?
The position of the supreme monarch of the Pandemonium must be obtained by killing at least six more monarchs.
If so, it would have been foolish to reject Alton’s offer here.
‘I’m going to take you to a restaurant myself, but there’s no need to refuse it.’
So I smiled and nodded my head.
[ Having said that, I also wonder what kind of place the cradle is. ]
“Then...?”
[I will participate in a place called the cradle. ]
“Hahaha...! You seem to be quite confident in your skills! I don’t hate people like that...!”
And Alton’s eyes lit up as if he were looking at a fish with a bait.
“Then now is the time to save each other time.”
The moment Alton opened his greedy eyes wide and snapped his fingers.
Just-!
[Whirlwind of Wanderers]
As it was, demonic energy overflowed from under his feet, and a purple portal opened.
It’s probably a type of black magic called the magic of the demon realm.
It was fun.
‘I think I know roughly what the principle is.’
It was worth it.
Until now, there was no room for talent to be applied to things like space movement skills... but the
purple portal that Alton developed as a demon is different.
Because it was a space movement-type spell that was only made up of black magic.
[ .... ]
Nervousness, anxiety, doubt, jealousy, anger, etc...
Numerous negative emotions swirled through his eyes.
He probably didn’t even know what kind of flaws the dark magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] had.
And I couldn’t help but close my eyes in deep disappointment.
‘Does that mean that he really didn’t know the principles of black magic he was dealing with?’
At most, he had only used black magic once.
Even so, I felt like I already knew all of Alton’s abilities.
At least when I realized that Alton’s level hadn’t reached the highest level like Alkaid’s, my interest in him rapidly diminished.
―Unlike an apostle of an ancient deity, you are foolish.
In fact, Dam Chun-wu looked at Alton and said that as if he was dumbfounded.
But I didn’t have to worry so much.
A guy like Alton, who doesn’t even know about his own dark magic, wouldn’t be worth remembering anyway.
And...
“If that’s the case, try following my secret technique yourself...”
The moment Alton shed light anger with a chilly glare in his eyes.
“Why don’t you prove directly that it’s not space shifting, it’s just pretending to be space shifting?”
I immediately nodded and accepted the offer.
[Yes. ]
Even if it wasn’t so, I didn’t intend to entrust myself to this trifling black magic.
The failure of the black magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] is not a very meaningful assumption, thanks to the divine armor and its transcendent durability.
Even so, there is no need to entrust space movement to Alton, a half-witted warlock who doesn’t even understand his own skills.
He even knew where the cradle was by recalculating Alton’s black magic.
‘If you know where the cradle is, it’s not a job to use black magic more reliably.’
So, all that remains is to deploy black magic.
[Can you at least show me some black magic that’s more effective than this? ]
That’s why I said that and calmly deployed black magic.
In an instant, his thoughts are concentrated, and the principles of black magic that Alton showed are quickly but more stable than before.
Perhaps, if you develop black magic as it is, it will boast excellent perfection as it is.
However, in the midst of building a tower made up of spells, his eyes focused on principles that showed room for improvement.
‘It’s good to be a space movement type, but why are there so many things I really regret?’
It was worth it.
Even though it can be sufficiently efficient, black magic pursues an inefficient principle.
One of the most irritating among them was the principle of moving by contracting invisible space.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to fold the abstract concept of space and bring it into contact with each other?
‘I just need to be able to move to the place I want anyway.’
And...
[I think it’s better to do it this way. ]
In the blink of an eye, the development process of the spell slightly twisted and a new black magic appeared.
【 Folding Vortex 】
A technology that can transcend a space remodeled solely by genius.
***
Chijik-!
Soon, a wave of purple light came out from under my feet and enveloped the area.
The true value of the black magic [Twirl] was revealed.
As it is, space and space are twisted and connected to each other, and then the landscape itself changes.
As if by magic, the space itself has changed from a half-collapsed fort to a duel.
The result of remodeling the black magic [Wanderer’s Vortex] appeared in front of my eyes.
「Achievement ‘Space Control’ has been achieved.」
「Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.」
「Reward level obtained from achievement has been increased from [Grade B] to [Grade B+] It rises.」
「The skill ‘Space Control Assist (B+)’ is created.」
And.
[Did I tell you? ]
“What the heck is this...!?”
The moment he turned his head to Alton after finishing the space movement.
[If you’re going to move in space, there’s a more efficient way.]
Just like that, Alton’s beast-like eyes trembled violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
