Chapter 115 Intuition
Lava boils in a straight line on the fine ground.
The Knight of Flickering Flame is heading this way, and tension fills the air between the Celestial Blessing, the Witch, and us.
Becky speaks to me in a hurried tone.
Flan. We need a plan. The more urgent the situation, the more we need a well-crafted plan to get out safely
You always say the obvious.
Do I? Well, then whats the plan?
She was babbling when it happened.
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
A repulsive laughter echoes widely, and the Witch slowly claps her palms together.
Boom!
And a massive vibration occurs.
The actions of everyone, including me, freeze for a moment.
The structure of the temple changes.
The lava pit, which could have been called a small river, is filled up in an instant.
The stair-shaped seats that surround us crumble down, and even the walls of the temple disappear, transforming into a vast square with no end in sight.
Swoosh!
Black rain pours from above.
The puddles on the ground slowly merge and rise up as human-shaped shadows. And there is no end to the summoning.
What are those things?
I heard Trixie mutter under her breath as she furrowed her brows.
The square was huge, but more than half of it was already filled with shadows.
Flan, what is this what is this?
Becky, standing next to me, couldnt even finish her question.
It wasnt hard to answer her. I knew what she was curious about.
Its soul harvesting.
Soul harvesting?
Soul harvesting.
Literally, harvesting the souls of the dead.
It looked like they had overlaid shadows on the souls and reprocessed them.
The souls were harvested at different times, but all within the last 10 years.
In other words, they had harvested the souls of the corpses that had appeared in Verkel in the last 10 years. Maybe all of them.
Thud-!
Thud-!
The ground kept shaking.
The shadows appearance was grotesque beyond measure.
Their faces were distorted as if they had given up on sculpting humans, and some of them had more than two arms and legs.
Simply put, their existence was abhorrent.
Ufufufufu-
Behind the sea of shadow beasts, the Witch had retreated far away, looking like a tiny dot. But I could still see her face clearly.
As I stared at her twisted smile, I murmured quietly.
Get ready.
At the same time, I covered the three magicians with a purple veil over their bodies.
What is this?
Huh? Ive never seen this kind of magic before
The three of them looked around themselves as if they had put on new clothes.
Hera, the spirit of the night, had countless ways to change her form, and now she had wrapped them in a shield.
Kwaaaaa!
The wave of shadows that rushed at them at that moment.
Their target was everything except the shadows.
Kugugugugu!
Janets sword stretched out in a straight line.
It was only one stab, but the number of weak points she pierced through with that blow was more than thirty.
As expected.
Bastion, a colleague of Celestial Blessing, admired Janets unique ability weakness.
But it didnt last long.
Swoosh!
The shadow beasts that pushed like a wave filled the empty space right away.
Bastion was stunned by their number.
I cant see the end.
What kind of number is this!
He didnt care about scoring a lot of points.
He wasnt afraid of each one, but if the premise of no end was set, the story would change a lot.
He couldnt say he had killed something even if he had killed it.
Thats Flan.
Then Janets murmur reached Bastions ears.
He turned to look and was startled.
The shadow beasts had gathered to form something that could be called a tidal wave and crushed Flan whole.
For a moment, Celestial Blessing forgot the situation and was captivated by the sight.
Bastion opened his mouth with a click of his tongue.
So he was the first one to go.
So easily
Janet muttered and wiped the sweat from her cheek.
She gripped her sword tightly.
Kugugugugu!
She pierced the ground and created a large crack. Her unique ability, Weakness, was not limited to living things.
Shadows fell into the crack like rainwater filling a puddle.
But.
Despite that.
Still, the shadows that pushed forward were endless.
Bastion swallowed. He looked serious by now.
Are we all going to die?
The Knight of the Flickering Flame is on her way.
There was no monster that could resist Scarlets fire. The moment she set foot here, everything would be over.
Yeah? Can the magicians hold on until then? The captain is already done for, so its only a matter of time before he dies.
Well cover for them.
What?
Cover for them!
Janet grabbed Bastions wrist.
There was a bloodline on her forehead.
It would be different if Witches showed up. Well minimize the casualties!
Did you hear me or not!
The other knights around them were surprised by Janets serious attitude.
She was getting desperate in this extreme situation.
I heard you. I heard you.
If there was a chance to save them.
Bastion didnt say that out loud in this place covered with shadow monsters.
But then.
Something pushed the pile of shadows and a ray of light leaked out.
Two rays, three rays Soon, the number increased.
Bang!
And with a huge explosion, the shadows that were pressing down on Flan were flung away in all directions.
What the hell is he!
He was alive?
Flan, who showed himself again, was still.
Calm and relaxed, he closed his eyes and focused on something.
The shadows that were facing Celestial Blessing backed away.
They all changed their target to Flan.
The man murmured a word.
Hera.
At that word, a bow shape appeared in front of him.
Flan took out a white card that glowed from his pocket.
He slowly aimed it at the bowstring.
Blank Magic Check
A paper that he had received from the dean of the magic department, Conette, a long time ago.
It contained a lot of her magic.
It could draw out as much magic as the casters ability, and Flan never doubted his own ability.
Goo-goo-goo-goo
The dust and dirt on the ground were swept up by his magic and floated in the air.
Kee-kee-kee-keek!
Of course, the shadows didnt wait for him.
The shadow beasts began their march. They were nothing but an endless wave reaching for Flan.
And Flan slowly opened his eyes.
He clenched the check in his hand and amplified his power even more.
In response, his massive magic changed its shape.
That shape was
An arrow.
Flan was quite satisfied with the outcome.
A dazzling light flowed from the bow and arrow.
What is he trying to do now?
Janet muttered without realizing it.
She had a moment to mumble blankly.
All the shadow beasts were running towards Flan.
Even now, the arrow was absorbing more solid magic.
Thud
And the moment Flan let go of his hand.
The light flashed.
The whole space was dyed with the golden light of the magic arrow.
A shock that shook the heavens and the earth.
The horde of beasts that seemed impossible to clear, the vast amount that he had called a sea, was split in half by the golden magic and devoured.
A straight road appeared.
Flan walked towards the stunned witch.
The battle was going on fiercely.
Scarlet, the Knight of the Flickering Flame, felt it on her skin.
The battlefield was covered with blood and shadows.
She swung her sword lightly with a blank expression.
Just that alone was enough to shake the space with a high-temperature current, and the ground she stepped on was viciously overturned and flew into the air.
Every time, the beasts screamed and turned into a handful of ashes.
But Scarlet was not the only one who remained calm in the stormy situation.
There was one more.
The sound of metal clashing, the sound of magic exploding and colliding from all directions.
The sound of footsteps ringing in the midst of the chaos.
It sounded strangely clear in Scarlets ears.
It seemed like an illusion that even the mindless shadow beasts were shivering.
No, they were definitely trembling.
Not because of Scarlets flames, but because of Flan.
Everyone was staring at the scene in awe.
The Knight of the Flickering Flame gripped her sword harder.
Flan.
She had a feeling that something would be decided today.
