138. Final Weapon Lynchester (2)
After meeting with Sylvia, Ziggs returned home.
I was attacked by a demon on guard duty. And he ran away with all his might.
The memory of last night was hazy, as if something had been forgotten.
And now I was suffering from a severe headache. At first, I thought it was because I stayed in the Demon Realm for too long.
The degree to which each person reacted to demonic energy varied greatly.
Some people acted as usual even when the demonic energy was thick, while others suffered from headaches even when the demonic energy was light.
Maybe it was because of post-traumatic stress.
Like a cold, it might be okay after a day or two of rest. In any case, it was a long-awaited vacation.
I should brew some tea, take a deep breath, and wake up.
Soon, Ziggs took water into the kettle to boil it. The strange thing was that I felt intense thirst.
‘My physical condition is strange.’
Eventually, Ziggs gulped down the tap water. But the thirst never quenched.
In an instant, the pain arose as if the intestines were twisting.
Something wriggled in his stomach like a parasite. I felt something rough in my throat.
Ziggs hurried to the mirror.
There was a lot of blood in the eyes. Something came out of my mouth. It was a tree root.
I couldn’t breathe properly, I couldn’t even scream out loud.
he fell to the floor Before long, the plant stem covered Ziggs, who had stopped breathing.
* * *
The Holy Land, which was treated as a holy place, was covered with plants.
The grotesque sight left me speechless.
However, Master seemed to have regained his composure soon, and was slowly examining his surroundings.
“Wizards, try to find out what happened.”
The wizards soon inspected the front yard of the shrine. The floor, which must have been laid with stones, was overgrown with plant stems.
Master tried to follow that path to the shrine.
And there was a strange creature wrapped around the plant. The creature entangled in the vine slowly turned its head and stared at the knights.
It was a human figure woven from tree roots.
“All ready for battle! Stay vigilant!”
It was bizarre, like being controlled by a plant. The black blade slid out of the scabbard.
Soon I realized that it was the work of Leragee, the 14th-ranked demon.
The Thirty Knights had a prototype.
At that moment, something like a cocoon hanging from the trunk of the tree split open. As if something was hatching from an egg, the things inside it came out.
It was a disgusting sight to the point of nausea.
At the same time, they were scattered in all directions like dandelion seeds and spores. I hurriedly covered my breathing with one sleeve.
Combat intuition warned of danger.
The moment you inhale, a plant will grow from your lungs and turn you into a zombie.
“Don’t breathe in. Enchant your entire body. And spread the magic barrier!”
At that time, a round circular magic barrier was created in front.
“Luntar!”
I summoned Runthar to the front. Runthar created fire in the air.
A long, serpentine stream of fire consumed all the seeds.
Ashes were scattered into the air. It was like being in a volcanic area. Runthar controlled the flames, avoiding buildings and burning only plants.
Stems engulfed in flames wriggled noisily. It seemed like bugs were wriggling.
“what a waste. You know how to deal with fire spirits.”
Someone walked out of the building. It was a woman with long red hair and green eyes.
The woman with vines all over her body had a girlish appearance, but on the contrary, she had a voluptuous body.
Naked, but not sensual at all.
Her skin was green, and her lower body was made up of bundles of huge flowers and plant stems.
“hi? Knights of Lynchester?”
Like a bright child, the other person smiled brightly. But that smile was full of hostility.
“Oh, they don’t even accept greetings.”
A strong scent came over me. It was close to artificial chemistry, like when you spill a strong cologne.
“Is it Mine?”
“answer. It’s Lerage. My nickname is Lera! What about that one?”
“You came to know where Mine would die.”
“Let’s introduce ourselves.”
Lerazie shook her head as if she was disappointed with Sylvia’s answer. I almost didn’t know anything about Lerage.
Because it wasn’t the Mine that appeared in the episode in the first place. On the website, there was only a brief mention that he was later subdued by a warrior party.
Sylvia glared at her opponent as if to kill him.
“I have nothing to talk about with a bunch of dirty demons.”
“Is that Sylvia von Linchester? Nice to meet you. To think that he would lead the knights all the way here himself.”
Lerazie talked like a talkative girl.
“The original purpose of my visit here was… , Ah, this is a secret. Anyway, to deal with me, even the knights were mobilized like this, and it’s tearful. I was a little moved.”
It wasn’t that I was impressed at all.
Even in front of thirty knights of Lynchester, the opponent could not find a sign of nervousness.
I don’t know if I’m full of confidence or if I don’t have a brain.
“Anyway, nice to meet you. Sylvia von Lynchester. And the black hair next to you is Ethan, right? Do you think this kills two birds with one stone? Anyway.”
Lerazie shrugged while making a snorting sound.
“To accompany the knights with the trap I dug, it would be perfect if you were buried here with your ancestors, Sylvia!”
Sylvia released a powerful magical power. It seemed like I couldn’t even open my eyes properly due to the wind pressure.
“This will be your grave.”
“But your knights can’t even move? All of them will be my cute children.”
I glanced towards Runthar.
After all, does that demon have no brain like a plant? I just burned it all up with the elemental fire.
“Aha, are you planning to use a fire elemental? Surely, you are not planning to burn down the shrine where your ancestors are sleeping, are you?”
Lerajie tilted her head, looking really curious.
You think I only deal with fire elementals?
Even while exchanging conversations, plants were growing as if proliferating. In any case, there was nothing good about prolonging the conversation.
“Letea-!”
Letea appeared behind me.
“Wow… ! You are the king of spirits! That’s the spirit king of ice and water!”
In most games, plant-type abilities are poorly handled. Plants are melted by the fire and ice attributes.
‘The barrier of the spirit king, permafrost.’
I tried to drag Leragie into the barrier.
I was definitely going to do that.
However, the barrier did not activate.
“Sorry, but this is my zone. You guys have already entered the barrier.”
In the end, I had no choice but to use the second method.
[Letea, freeze all plants to death.]
[Master as instructed.]
The temperature around her suddenly dropped due to the cold air that spread from Lethea’s body.
If this was the four zones, all I had to do was create an environment where plants couldn’t live.
Frost spread through the stems. Frozen plants were trapped in the ice.
“What are you doing to my cute children? No, no.”
right!
Opponent snapped his fingers. The demonic energy on all sides thickened. The frozen plants raised their stems individually like tentacles.
“Plants in the Devil’s Land never lose their vitality even in winter.”
Lerajie grinned.
It was an attitude to do more if there was something I could do.
The opponent slowly walked out of the giant flower. From the giant flower, seeds were again scattered in all directions like dandelion spores.
“And I’ll have to do some page counting.”
The ground cracked and the roots were exposed. There were clusters of egg-like things hanging from the roots.
The egg broke and a zombie-like creature crawled out.
“Now, what can you Lynchester knights do?”
I asked this out. I have to purify the surroundings with rune tar again… .
Then Sylvia took a step forward. Lightly passing the translucent magic barrier, she dropped her sword to the ground.
“Is that the end?”
“Yes?”
“I asked if that was the end.”
“Hey, Sylvia. Do you know how dangerous you are right now? If you breathe incorrectly, the seeds get into your lungs… .”
Sylvia took a deep breath and straightened her dangling sword.
“I will show you how the Lynchesters are called a family against the Ma.”
I called Sylvia with a worried heart.
“Master… !”
“Don’t worry. Danah. Trust your master.”
In an instant, Sylvia’s entire body was enveloped in silver light. Soon, silver flames engulfed her entire body.
It was the 8th type of Linchester swordsmanship, the torch.
“what… ?”
“Destroy the horse.”
Sylvia kicked off the ground and ran out. Any seeds that touched her were swept away in silvery-white flames.
“ah… .”
Belatedly, Lerazie reached out.
Stalks from all directions rushed toward Sylvia.
However, it was only following the trajectory that Sylvia had passed.
bang!
It was a force that shattered the ground, but it could not reach Sylvia. Numerous vines grazed Sylvia’s shoulders and waist.
But couldn’t stop her. The attack was too fast to reach.
Sylvia, who hit the ground one after another, reached Mine as it was. Embarrassment flashed in Lerazier’s eyes.
wickedness-
In the next moment, the silver blade cut across. The blade cut off Lerazier’s forearm.
And the silver torch was blazing and attached to the demon.
