Chapter 702 – #141_The Silent Witch (2)
#702
One.
Hide and seek.
This game, loved by young children regardless of Eastern and Western cultures, is quite a strange game if you look back on its name.
Strictly speaking, hide and seek is not a game of catching a tag, but a game of catching multiple participants.
However, the game of tag proposed by Rosie and implemented by the playroom created a situation worthy of its name.
Shin Si-woo is the tagger.
Dozens of solids rushing from all sides to play hide and seek.
It is an overly absurd rule to take place in a dome-shaped space with a diameter of just over 20m.
It is because the dome-shaped space becomes a point where there is almost no space to evade just by the solidity going rampant all at once.
-Kong! Kong!
– Growl
Even though his eyelids were wired, his ability to catch prey was excellent.
The enhanced olfactory function, which has been deeply imprinted on food, clearly caught Siwoo’s smell, and soon attacked from all directions like a herd of lionesses hunting buffalo.
Even if it is just a familiar, the mobility of a demon that has undergone magic enhancement is no longer comparable to that of a normal beast.
Even if the being standing in the middle of the dome was an elephant, not a buffalo, it was normal for it to be left with only bones in an instant.
But.
-Bang! Kukkoom!
The heads of the pack of dogs, which were swung at high speed by the black ribbon, exploded.
Green curses scatter in the air between the scattered skull fragments.
Triple shockwaves radiated from the ring-shaped magic formula burst hard as if catching flying insects.
The robustness, which had been ruptured from the inside, vomited black blood and died without even a moment to scream.
Occasionally blackened flames ignite the hungry beast.
The beast, which had been roasted well to the bone, was charred and scattered across the floor.
The resistance of the tagger that all this happened without taking a single step from the spot.
Even after creating such an overwhelming force, Siwoo’s expression did not show any improvement.
The situation is not as smooth as it might seem at first glance.
The rules of hide and seek were tricky.
If this playroom embodies ‘play’ as expected, it is no different than Siwoo is repeating foul play.
The rule of hide and seek is that the fugitive cannot do anything against the pursuer.
Siwoo’s attack against Gogwang is a clear violation of the rules.
It means that not even half of the power of the actual magic used was being eaten.
But the problem is not only that.
The corpse of a dead demon that had just turned into a clot of blood boils like crude oil.
The thing that raises his body as he struggles in the black puddle is the solidity that has been restored without injury.
The number of solids is not decreasing even a single one.
Through a series of processes, Siwoo was able to gauge how much force the rules of play had.
It is powerful enough, if not worse than the chapel that Dorothy implemented.
Unless there is a red branch, it is difficult to completely break it.
Measure the merit that the workshop gives to the opponent, and reflect on it again.
“…….”
“Wow.”
Meanwhile, Rosie vomits admiration with his eyes wide open.
Rosie is also the Archwitch.
Siwoo’s violence can be reproduced in a different way.
Without the intervention of the same witch, she is a natural disaster capable of devastating a country single-handedly.
After following Siwoo’s various magics, Rosie came to one conclusion.
“What is your identity?”
His magic is obviously strange.
In general, each witch’s magnetic magic has its own color.
Even if you study magic in a different lineage, it is bound to progress through convergent evolution.
As an example, the recovery magic built by Rosie, based on curses, took the form of a curse that says, ‘Instead of dramatically improving recovery and durability, the extracted despair is sacrificed’.
However, the magic he spreads has no common point of convergence.
The ribbon that strikes the firmness resembles Ea Sadalmelik’s ‘Virgin’s Loom’ if I’m not mistaken.
That ring that makes you feel deja vu resembles Dorothy Sahaquiel’s ‘Angel’s Ring’.
The foundation of the two is a shadow they have never seen before.
Just dealing with the magic of Qliphort celebrities is suspicious enough.
It does not stop at copying the original on such a subject.
The force field is developed through a unique method of engraving a magic formula on the ribbon, and the force field causes a wave of magical power like a wave.
In the meantime, it emits black flames that seem to be a type of orthodox elemental magic.
A feast of colorful magic reminiscent of the ‘Heavenly Void’ of the great sage of Gehenna, the Duke of Erelim, which was only heard in rumors at first glance, but in reality it is only an obvious inferior compatibility.
The great witch’s magic is powerful because each magnetic magic creates synergy.
His magic, which seemed to have been piled up in haste, was nothing more than a pile of blocks piled up with great magic, rather than promoting each other’s rise.
Even so, it’s strong enough, so I don’t see much fun in tagging….
After all, solidity is just a way to buy time for preparation.
“Great. Shall we start right?”
While entrusting the battle to her familiar, Rosie condensed her magic and prepared a large-scale magic ceremony.
Her fingertips gracefully stir the air as if commanding.
– Woo-woo-woo!
At the same time, the ground supporting the floor disappeared and a new space appeared.
A playroom that took the shape of a sphere with vertical symmetry, as if a mirror was attached to the ground of a hemispherical space.
The lattice created by the green fog crosses the gap like a spider’s web.
“It might be the last time I compete with my rival, so I prepared it because it was regretful. What do you think?”
As soon as the ground to step on disappeared, Siu, who floated up with spirit movement, looked around.
Filling the spherical space is a huge regular dodecahedron.
And a number of smaller regular dodecahedrons formed once again by inscribed on different faces.
It’s my first time seeing it on this scale, but it’s a very familiar space.
The new play that Rosie implemented was indeed clear at a glance.
The board game that she is most confident in and actually showed off her peak skills.
Location board.
It is also a real-scale location board that utilizes each person’s magnetic magic, rather than competing with basic magic by connecting one pass and rune.
Siwoo, who was concentrating on the battle, could not hide his absurdity.
It was because Rosie realized a mischief on a scale that would make a young witch delusional as part of her magnetic magic.
Aside from the absurd feeling, I tried to figure out the rules.
Bondi location board itself is a microcosm of magic battle.
It means that if you modify the rules a little, you can apply it to real battles.
The important thing here is ‘what modifications were made to the rules’.
“…….”
As a test, I used magic in a space other than the designated ‘pass’.
Immediately after that, an intense load was applied and golden sparks arose.
-Parts Tsutsutsu
In fact, I didn’t even have to experiment to see it.
Excluding the pass, the magic resistance of the area had soared to the limit.
The outside of the board implemented on a huge scale can use magic, but it is a level where unnecessary consumption is required.
Even if they engage in hand-to-hand combat, as long as magic enhancement is used, they will be slow and require a lot of strength, just like moving underwater.
Meanwhile, if the rules of play so far had given Rosie a one-sided advantage, this game was fair to both of them.
Instead of runes, the magic relays that popped up at the vertices were also in a neutral state.
The penalty for mana management applied to Siwoo is also applied to Rosie.
The stronger the restriction of magic, the higher its power.
That’s why the compulsiveness of this game is so powerful that it is on a different level.
Rosie brought Siu into the field he is most confident in.
Who has the superior calculation power.
To the field of a thorough battle of brains, where only who can exert superior magnetism magic competes.
“Isn’t it okay to be blank like that?”
Although they are following the rules of the location board, the current battle is a real battle.
You don’t have to alternate moves with sportsmanship.
Rosie, who knew that, took the player.
It is to expand the magic power to the center.
The target is a relay in a neutral state.
In a space where the magic power load has soared to the limit, the repeater connecting the pass and the pass helps the smooth operation of the magic power of the divination side.
In terms of the location board, it plays the role of a ‘rune’.
The repeater, which had been shining white, turned green as if rust water had been poured into it, and the wriggling dark magical energy ended the cursing in an instant.
Dozens of pairs reminiscent of the sharp teeth of a poisonous snake flew towards Siwoo along the pass.
– Ugh!
In response, the golden magic formula inscribed ribbon swells.
The power of the wave that spreads like an explosion is the protective field of Count Yesod.
-Ping! Ping! Ping!
The fangs flew like bullets and ricocheted along the slopes of the field with a shrieking sound.
Siwoo didn’t just prepare for defense.
I jumped into the fight to preoccupy the repeater while spreading the field.
– Kwakwang! Kwakwawang!
Magic that intertwines in the air accompanied by dazzling flashes and explosions.
The heat, hotter than the flames of the furnace that melts steel, set Rosie’s fangs on fire.
The curse of corrosion cuts off the bundle of ribbons twisting like a tornado like a torn rope.
With the help of the repeater, if the strong force field inflates its influence,
A ring-shaped curse with the Curse of Penetration distorts the force field.
A battlefield that is different from the location board but borrows the rules of the location board.
In a limited number of fights, Rosie’s strength was fully demonstrated.
Haha!!!!”
Extreme snow bowling that seeks bigger gains based on small gains.
The series of initiations are sober and sophisticated enough to be regarded as mechanical devices.
While he persistently bites Siwoo’s weak link between magic and magic, he prepares for a more fatal linkage of magnetic magic.
Endless small gains are made in the remnants of magic that unfolds, builds, breaks, and reassembles in mere seconds.
As a result, Rosie took over 60% of the repeater in an instant.
As the space where magic can be used is limited on the location board, the number of repeaters and passes that are occupied determines the available magic power.
In other words, it was fine even if the overall market was leaning toward Rosie.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu!!!
The condensed curse that was being completed by weaving the remains of broken magic aimed at Siwoo.
If it hits you directly, even the pope will curse God and writhe in terrible pain.
“Ah, after all, the game is fun. The best! Exciting!”
Rosie, who showed off an overwhelming difference in skill compared to the witch board as a board game, looked at Siwoo with a cruel smile.
“What do you think?”
Shin Si-woo, who had only thought that he would be in a state of despair by now.
He is facing Rosie’s eyes with an expression that is not even agitated.
The fighting spirit that does not know how to give up flows through the golden magic reflection light.
“…….”
Certainly Rosie is strong.
Making a battlefield that is advantageous to oneself under the guise of fairness, and even fighting numbers that overwhelm with pure prowess.
It is understandably impressive that he survived among a group of exploits that are based on fratricide.
But the preparations are over.
From now on, it’s time to tell Rosie.
That this isn’t a game, it’s a fight to the death.
