Chapter 224 - Episode Nineteen - High Elf Sorcerer, Devin (12)
“Y-You! Please let me go!”
Mea grabbed Devin’s arm with her hand and bit him, then raised her leg and kicked Devin’s leg.
But Devin didn’t falter.
Devin glared at me and increased the strength of his arm around Mea’s neck.
“Aoooo.”
“Ha~ I’ve heard that you’ve been tamed by the Dinrat Kingdom and are a bit of a peacekeeper, but you’re far too weak. It’s pathetic.”
Devin said nonchalantly.
It seems that the target is Me and have no feelings for Mea.
This is a relief at first, but given Devin’s personality, you never know what might trigger his anger towards Mea.
It’s also possible that he’s trying to get rid of his grudge against me by laying a hand on Mea.
The stalker elf’s character is not normal.
“Me, Mea, stop for now! If you make him any angrier, he’ll really kill you! Ca-, calm down, Devin! Okay, okay! I’m sorry! Here, I’ll give you back your vestments! I’ll give you something else ……”
“I’m not going to forgive you for that! I’m not kidding around! Death is the only way to atone for my supreme race and the sky gods!”
A magic circle appears in Devin’s open, red left eye.
No, instead of a magic circle…… is it a summoning crest?
The ugliest emblem I’ve ever seen swirled in his eyes, and then it spread to Devin’s face and all over his body, emitting a hideous red light.
“?Summon!”
A magic circle appeared, and in the middle of it, a black-cloaked figure appeared.
The crest fluttered in the air, there are several long, thin, blade-like objects extending into the air.
They seemed to be tentacles, but they were metallic. It was hard to tell whether they were hard or soft just by looking at them.
The face peeking out from the cloak was only a translucent sphere floating in the air.
The black cloak, the occasional translucent face, and the sharp metal tentacles.
I had seen this strange appearance before.
“Could it be …… Thanatos the Spirit of Death?”
This is one of the great spirits described in the high-ranking spirit chart found in Lark’s mansion.
I thought the illustrations looked eerie, like graffiti, but I didn’t expect them to look exactly like this.
It is said that he served the sky god Silfheim, although he was only a fragment, and if this is true, he is one of the few great demons that have lived on since the age of mythology.
“How did you know that? The Sky God carved the summoning crest into my eyes in a dream! The oracle told me to save it until the war, though …… Abel Belek! You alone will suffer and die without waiting for the day of the Moon Festival Dinmei!”
According to the myth, all of the five great gods except Kudor had been erased by Kudor.
I had thought that at most they only had some faith left in him, but the fact that he was sending not only his treasures but also his minions was really creepy.
Could it be that the sky god really still exists?
The water god Levi actually came down to me once, so maybe it’s too late for me to do anything about it, but…
“W-, war ……?”
“Let me tell you something, Abel Belek. The reason I came down to the impure earth was to prepare for the attack of Alfheim, the Sky Country, on the Dinrat Kingdom. He has a grudge against the Dinrat kingdom, and he wants to invite Altamir, who has great skill and knowledge in magic, to come to Alfheim, the Sky Country. I’m not interested in the impure land, and I don’t like the idea of bringing Norcs in, but it’s the oracle of the sky god. The presence of a single alchemist is sometimes more useful than ten thousand soldiers.”
…… The High Elves are going to invade the Dinrat Kingdom?
It’s not like there’s been any kind of conflict between the two countries. Originally, the High Elves are exclusive-like by nature.
The only thing I can think of that could have triggered this is if Ebelheid had activated his floating fortress against the High Elves ……
“So, after I kill you, all your friends will also die, so don’t worry, suffer and die! Especially Marren, all of you will be destroyed by me personally in no time!”
Devin’s left eye turned from red to blue.
I’m sure the right eye, which is now closed, was also blue.
This means that he was not originally an odd-eye either.
In the left eye, which is blue, there is a faint red magic circle floating in the air.
If it were a normal summoning pattern, it would not cause the eye to change color.
Perhaps that spirit of death, Thanatos, has entered into a special contract, not a normal one, I’m sure he’s been using his bright red left eye as a gate to share some of his magic with Devin since normal times.
“……, No-, No way.”
“Hahahahahahahaha! It’s not a lie! What would happen if I lied to you about dying here? Isn’t that scary? Isn’t it horrible! To see the earth become the center of war! The High Elves will overrun the people of the earth!”
“So you just have that much magic power even if you received such a exaggerated spiritual blessing.”
I don’t know how much of this is true, but I wonder what the sky god was expecting from this guy.
I’m sure he’s expecting a lot from him since you gave him a spirit, magic, and even a vestment.
Devin didn’t understand what I was saying, so he opened his mouth and was silent for a few seconds.
Mea also looked at me with a troubled look on her face.
It was me, of all people, who had just warned Mea that she would be killed if she angered Devin any further.
I gently put my hand over my mouth.
“Sorry, those words just now……”
“Thanatos! To make sure that his soul will never be at peace again, slash him from the tips of his fingers to his heart, and give him eternal suffering with a curse word! Let him wander forever in the netherworld!”
Thanatos extends sharp tentacles one after another from his cloak and spreads them in the air.
Then it floats in a spiral orbit, aiming its tentacles at me.
