Chapter 149 – Earthworm
Wields Durandal.
Keep swinging without stopping for a moment.
Cut, cut, cut. It was cut to such an extent that the shape was unrecognizable.
No more playing. Even if it is regenerated, it continues to inflict damage so that it is meaningless.
Originally, no matter how much I cut, the wound would regenerate in an instant, rather than increasing, but….
After the unknown attack detonated half of the dark worms, there is almost no resistance and the regeneration rate is slow.
‘I can do it!’
Pierce it with a spear to embed Durandal even deeper, then dig it up with serine and hack it to pieces.
In the end, the manifested spirit is like a mass of magical power.
If you succeed in gaining control of the surrounding magical power, it means that you can gain the upper hand even if the opponent is the highest level spirit.
Of course, it is not easy to take control of magical power against the highest level spirit. Rather, it’s almost impossible.
However, the word close to impossible paradoxically means that it is not absolutely impossible.
Here and now, two conditions come together to take the initiative in magical power.
First of all, the Dark Worm cub has been fatally injured and has become extremely weak.
The second is that even though my magical power has changed, I am a paladin.
The ability of Star’s Blessing is truly fraudulent.
Heroes, paladins, and saints all have excellent combat sense the moment they receive the blessing of the stars.
Physical ability, mana, growth rate. You will get everything
However, when it comes to star blessings, there is something more important than fighting power, and that is the power to bring magical initiative.
All the apostles of the goddess who received the blessing of the stars are good at controlling magical power.
To the point where he gradually makes the magic around him his own without even realizing it.

And in fact, this power is an essential device to defeat the demon lord.
The warrior, the paladin, and the holy woman lead the fight and bring the initiative of magical power.
Each individual’s combat power is not comparable to the demon lord, but the demon lord is vulnerable to divine power. If you control the magical power of the area with the magical power of the stars, your power will weaken.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the demon lord’s power is reduced to less than 10% when he completely takes the initiative of magical power.
Therefore, in the battle with the demon king, the key is whether or not you can survive without dying until you take the initiative.
The problem was that there had never been a case in history where they had held out until they took the initiative, but Siwoo Han’s memory showed that it was possible.
Of course, bringing the initiative of magic to that level can be seen as the effect of the synergy of the three warriors, paladins, and saints….
I alone am enough against the almost dying worms.
Slowly! Awesome!
Every time you swing the extension sword, a handful of earthworm flesh is cut off.
And finally.
“…… !”
Inside the earthworm’s body, an empty space began to emerge.
Inside this is the Elementalist who controlled the Earthworm.
Looking back slightly, Kania and Caring Man, who were helping me, are busy blocking the spirits from running towards me.
‘I have to do it alone.’
I can’t really ask for help from anyone anymore. Even if the elemental consul summons another high-ranking elemental, I have to do it somehow by myself.
Once again, I swing Durandal sideways to create a space for me to squeeze through.
Spare!
The small hole opens, and the dark inner space begins to come into view.
Could it be because his magic power has grown? Even in a dark space without a single light, it can be seen without any problems.
As I was about to step inside the earthworm’s body, I hesitated for a second at the moment I thought about it.
‘… Suddenly there’s no way to get out of the replay, won’t it?’
If that happens, if you don’t deal with the elemental sage, you will be trapped here forever.
But what would be different if I stayed here all the time?
If the fight is going to continue anyway, I have to put an end to it.
Holding on to Durandal’s grip tightly, she slowly moved her steps.
If you’re determined, how many times have you already done it? Leaving it out here would be ugly.
As soon as I entered the earthworm’s body, as expected, the path I entered was regenerated at high speed, blocking it.
Of course, it’s a lot slower than before it was fatally wounded, so you can quickly cut it and get out again.
Rather, the wall behind my back was strengthening my will.
Keep calm and look around.
The blessing of the stronger stars could be seen brightly even in the dark.
Just because it’s inside the spirit’s body doesn’t mean it’s empty. Rather, the shape is like the inside of a huge cave.
In the middle, the body of the spirit is erected like a pillar. The elemental sage must be hiding somewhere among these.
But it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to go looking for it here.
Remembrance. Hold the sword horizontally and prepare to swing.
“I just need to make it come out.”
Pull out the sword as long as possible. So that it can sweep a wide range at once.
Then, swing it as hard as you can.
“Suck!”
Durandal’s purple blade, swung with a little spirit, cut down all the black pillars.
And if there is a place that makes a particularly unusual sound….
Kagagak!
That is where the Elemental Sage is located.
Kicks off the ground and runs in the direction the sound came from.
I don’t know how good the spirits are, but he’s good enough to deal with the highest level spirits, so there’s no way he’s weak.
So the only thing you can bet on is a quick fight.
Shorten the length of the long drawn sword back to its usual length.
“… Ugh!”
He seems to be taken aback as well, so he lets out a small moan and starts running away. However….
“Huh?”
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the look on his face.
That’s also true, because he wasn’t a spirit sage, he was a guy who fought in the Black Forest.
A guy whose name I can’t remember, wrapped around his body in bandages.
Not to mention the severed arm, it looks like a mess from where it got beaten up.
‘Why is he here?’
Unlike the erosion guy who managed to deal with it somehow, he was the guy who couldn’t escape and kill him.
“… It won’t matter.”
What’s certain is that he’s my enemy, and he’s weak from injuries now.
It’s strange that the bandage guy is here, not the elemental sage, but he’s someone you’ll meet again someday anyway.
So, it would be better to take care of it here in advance. An opportunity like this will never happen again.
“Hey… !”
The bandage groaned as if embarrassed and ran away. But maybe because of my injury, I was slow and was able to catch up quickly.
Wedge love liquid!
I swung Durandal at the back of his head with all my might.
The frightened bandage guy extends his remaining arm and swings the bandage at Durandal. It sounds like you’re trying to resist.
If you recall the battle in the Black Forest, the bandaged guy is at a disadvantage in fighting in this terrain.
The battlefield that is advantageous to him is a place full of structures. A place like a forest, for example.
There, like the web of a spider in a hero movie, a bandage is used to maneuver, or a bandage is woven into a structure to lead to a fight in the form of binding and breaking the opponent.
But this place? It’s empty like a cave, and the pillars are gone because I cut them all down.
To put it simply, it means that you won’t be my opponent at all.
Slowly!
The purple swordsman awkwardly easily cut off the bandage and cut the guy’s neck.
Perhaps it was because the sword was swinging at such a speed that it was invisible to the naked eye.
As usual, there was no blood oozing from the cut, just a quiet roll on the floor.
‘… Surely. I’ve become stronger.’
I hate to admit it, but Siwoo Han’s ordeal helped me a lot more than I thought.
He looked down at his hands for a moment, clench his fists, then raised his head.
There is no time to be immersed in sentimentality. It’s because they haven’t been able to catch the Elemental Sage who is the culprit behind this.
But one thing is for sure, the elemental lord is also in this space.
It was clear that the guy’s magical power was clearly felt.
Moreover, dark spirits in the form of beasts such as wolves and bears were glaring at me, perhaps as if I had summoned more spirits during the short time I was beheading the bandaged guy.
Judging from the strength they can feel and their size, wolves are lower level spirits and bears are lower level spirits.
They’re not weak guys, but they’re not a threat to me right now either.
However… There are other things I need to pay attention to now.
Apart from the fact that they pose no threat to me, I don’t know how long it will take to slay all those spirits.
Even if it takes too long to summon another high-ranking spirit….
No matter how much it is, I don’t think I can summon a higher level spirit here, but in the first place, it was difficult to expect common sense against a Elementalist who could command the highest level spirit.
You have to assume the worst.
So, first, cut down the two wolf spirits that rush in front of you, and then….
Damn it….
At that time, I was thinking about how to lead the battle.
The sound of something tearing came from behind. Therefore… From the direction I cut and tore.
When I hurriedly looked back, wondering if there was a spirit behind me that I hadn’t felt.
Kwajijijijik!
I saw Dina approaching, tearing at her earthworm body with dark magic wrapped around her arms.
And at the same time, let Dina beckon toward the spirits in front of me.
Pop! Pupperpuppung!
“Eh.”
Spirits explode with a series of explosions.
The lower ranks disappeared as they were, and the middle ranks seemed to be bewildered as if they were fatally wounded.
The next moment, Dina glared fiercely at the place where she felt the elemental magic power, and was preparing to blow the spear of darkness at any moment.
