In battle, it presses the opponent with an intense sense of intimidation. The stats of the enemies who fight with Theoter are halved, and their crit does not increase. Enemies hit by Theoter’s attack take additional damage proportional to Theoter’s strength stat.
Drinker
I love to drink and I never get drunk.
Disenchantment
She is currently unable to use her true abilities due to her over-disenchanting. All stats except intelligence are halved. Intelligence is fixed at 5% of the original value.
Fuck fuck Ilponggeem. She couldn’t believe it, but the last one was an oni. Ever since she had a bat in her mage tower, she should’ve made predictions. I clicked my tongue. As if surprised by her intimidation of her, A.A. Unconsciously reached for her scabbard her. Theo Terre opened her mouth.
“Who?”
“Oh that… We are Artie’s acquaintances.”
“Artie? Artis?”
“Yes. I am Artie’s new husband.”
Theoter showed curiosity at my polite tone of her. She held out her fists in front of her with both of her hands. A large magic circle was drawn under her place where she was. Although we do not know what kind of sorcery it was, it was always being activated, and the intense pink light made us feel bad. For some reason, I couldn’t go in there. Theoter said.
“It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Artis. It’s been a while.”
Her face her was full of longing. Despite her haggard appearance of her, she was a very beautiful woman. She could see her plump, immaculate breasts her through the long, drooping fabric of her dress her. I swallowed her saliva once and said.
“Sir Theoter.”
“Call me Cioter. Who is that? The woman next to you.”
“This is my wife.”
A.A was a little taken aback by that statement, but since the place was a place, she didn’t react any louder than that.
“Having multiple wives is the privilege of a strong man. Artis asked for the right man. It’s definitely still weak, but it shows potential for further growth. If it weren’t for this condition, he would have helped me become stronger, which is a pity.”
Theo Terre clicked her tongue in regret. I was very concerned about the hoses sticking out of her body. It didn’t seem like she had put it like this voluntarily. No matter how good of a personality she is, she will never give up on using herself as a magical power battery. I asked.
“Why are you here?”
“I made a bet. Unless I win the bet, I can’t get out of here.”
She said as she raised her own hand. I felt a sense of incongruity when I saw them holding their arms together. It was as if they were wearing invisible handcuffs. I asked.
“What bet did you make?”
“It’s a story that goes back a very long time. A long time ago, I made a pact with the royal dwarves and lived underground. I decided to come and help the Dwarves when there were enemies that were too dangerous for them to handle. Wasn’t that probably a drinking party to commemorate the defeat of the demon king’s army? I was drinking with dwarf royalty when the dwarf king told me. ‘Aren’t you curious about which is stronger, Sir Theoter’s power or our dwarves’ skills?’”
She laughed, shaking her head slightly. Even while she was laughing, her mana she flowed thickly through the hose.
“I said Isn’t it natural that I am stronger? So said the Dwarf King. ‘Then you might as well try it out.’ I gladly accepted the bet. The time limit is unlimited. He said that if I win, the Dwarf King will announce me as a friend of the kingdom.”
“What if you lose?”
“Nothing.”
Theo Terre shook her head and said. I questioned that statement. So what are the hoses clinging to the body?
“Then why are you being put through this?”
Artie said, looking at the hoses sticking out of her body.
“This? This is just a penalty. If I release mana, I might break the string and cause collateral damage, right? In order to prevent that, I’m drawing magic power from my body in advance. The Dwarf King really didn’ t want to do it, but he had no choice but to prepare a device like this. He is a king who cares about his people. Isn’t it wonderful?”
Are you sick? I looked at A.A. With an indescribable expression. Looking at A.A’s expression, it seemed that he had similar thoughts to mine. Some kind of oni’s personality was a mutual friend among hogu. Whoever sees it, isn’t it a joke to draw out mana? You believed this and surrendered your body? If I told this story to Artis, would he believe it?
“But you still can’t break that ‘string’.”
I asked, pointing to a string invisible to my eyes. Theoter nodded and said.
“Okay. Even if I give strength to it, it just stretches and doesn’t break. Look. Does it just keep growing like this? These days, I’m thinking of using my hair.”
She said as she spread her arms wide open. But to me it just seemed like an open arm. There was no sign of her string her, which she said she had, anywhere. I looked at A.A. She was trying to see the string on her until A.A. Squinted her eyes. I asked A.A.
“Can you see it?”
“No.”
Ai, who had been squinting at her for a while, also shook her head. We didn’t see any strings. I said.
“Hey, we can’t see any strings… Maybe you’ve been enchanted or tricked…”
“It can’t be.”
Theo Terre opened her eyes and said firmly. She trusted all of her magic circles around her, her unbroken strings that kept stretching, and all of her porcelain hoses her stuck in her body her. She looked at us and spoke again.
“The dwarves can’t lie. At that time, the Dwarf King called me a ‘friend of the kingdom’. Friends don’t cheat. Right? Also, I can’t forgive insulting a friend. Since he’s Artie’s husband, I’m just forgiving him once.”
Theo Terre said that and she began to move her hands again in the air as if they were knitting transparent strings. I went to the cleft with A.A. And started talking.
“Warrior. Just looking at cancer makes me feel like I’m being deceived, right?”
“I think so.”
“By the way, I don’t know what or how you are faking it. Did you use hallucination magic?”
“Since none of us are good at magic, that…”
A.A hesitated. It was as she said. No matter what we tried to dispel, we were not well versed in magic. Even if you look at the magic circle in the status window
[Magic Circle: The magic circle that imprisoned Theoter.]
There was only such a simple explanation. Besides, Siotere believed in the dwarves, so if he tried to forcefully pull them out or break the magic circle, there was a high possibility that he would attack us. If that happens, we will go to the underworld at once. I could hear Theoter muttering in the distance.
“If we stop this, we can become real friends. Huh? Right? I can have fun and laugh with the dwarves every day…”
It was pitiful to watch. We faced each other and shook our heads. What should I do? How can I get that shiotere out? While thinking for a while, the information the dwarf had told me passed through my mind.
“Aye. You said that those high-ranking dwarves come here every few days, right?”
“Yes. It was.”
“Wait. Those bastards might know how to unlock it.”
If they were going to keep stealing magic from Theoter, it was clear that they would take care of food for them. We used swords and maces to make a long tunnel out of the underground passage. I cut out the bedrock disguised as the entrance, and I dug out from the inside, and looked outside, and there was a secluded forest far away from the private house. Theoter didn’t seem to care much about our work.
We took turns crouching inside the burrow and waiting for Morugo to come. Because he said he would come to visit me once every few days. Our predictions were roughly correct. It was because, exactly three days later, Morugo showed up again. Following A.A’s call, I hurriedly descended into the basement.
“Theoter! How were you? In case you’re hungry, we’ve prepared a meal for you!”
He burst out with his guttural laugh and rubbed his front paws like a fly. Behind him came a huge cart loaded with food. Theo Ter frowned at those words and shook his head.
“I have to cut this off with my own power to qualify as a real ‘friend’. Right?”
“Oh. Don’t be like that Even now, Shioter-sama is a friend of our Dwarven Kingdom, but if you cut that tie now and come to the surface! Residents of the entire Dwarven Kingdom will praise you!”
“…I don’t need praise. Because we can be friends.”
“Yeah, that’s right! It meant welcoming them as friends. So, you have to cut that string, right? The dwarves are waiting for you to cut your strings and come out!”
We anxiously waited for the Dwarves to retreat. The huge cart opened the road first and moved forward, and finally Morugo remained and greeted Theoter. Theo Terre finished his meal and shook his hand with his happy face. Morugo bowed his head once more to Cioter, then opened the door and headed for the stairs. And at that moment, we grabbed Morugo and dragged him into the cave.
“Oops!”
When I dragged him to the small room in the cave, A.A. Raised the bedrock he had laid down to block the entrance and filled the walls with soil thickly, then we dragged the Morugo back up to the ground.
Simple ground was not enough. We ran for a long time with Morugo’s mouth shut and dragged him to a forest far from the Dwarf Kingdom. A.A was holding his breath and glaring at Morugo. You warmed up and told him.
“Morgo. It’s been a while.”
“Dae, what the hell is this! Do you think diplomatic relations will be safe even after doing this! This will surely protest against the human kingdom and Ahldern! I will formally protest against the Magic Tower as well! Everyone! It’s not too late now, so I… !”
Kang!
Mace hit Morugo’s ankle. Because Anvil Go was short, he might have been a calf.
“Aaaaagh!”
Morugo screamed. However, there were no dwarves who could hear his screams.
