Chapter 140

There are too many demonic beasts .

There are only a limited number of ways to reliably aim at the magical beasts alone while avoiding the private army from among them .

I would like to crush the commander, Hamelin, as quickly as possible, but until we can secure our safety, we have no choice but to target the magic beasts .

Then, I would have no choice but to aim at each and every one of them and crush them .

“Carry”

Answering from my spell and the World Tree’s Ortem appears in my arms .

I toss it with both arms and point my wand at the World Tree’s Ortem as it hovers in the air .

“Puppet, dance!”

The World Tree’s Ortem receives the light from the wand .

This is where the real work begins .

It takes a bit of concentration .

I deploy 13 magic circles to cover my surroundings .

I’m sure I could increase it tenfold if I wanted to, but this scale is the limit of how much accuracy I can guarantee to not involve the private army in each shot .

The World Tree’s Ortem glowed, and another thirteen magic circles were deployed .

I’ve built in a magic formula that responds to my actions and deals with magic in the World Tree’s Ortem .

When I activated the World Tree’s Ortem, I activated a part of the magic formula built into it .

This makes it possible for the World Tree’s Ortem to shift the target coordinates of the phenomenon and the phase of the magic power from my magic and re-activate it almost simultaneously .

Of course, the control is quite complicated here, but in the current situation, I can double the number of simultaneous activations of high-precision magic .

This is a technique called double chanting, which was the deepest technique of the Marren tribe a long time ago .

It was often used to exploit an opponent’s gaps and pincer shots, according to the books in the chief’s archives .

Since it was difficult to control, it was more often used for diversionary purposes .

This is what I resurrected on my own since no detailed description has survived .

“Wind, form, blade”

The mouth of the World Tree’s Ortem moves as I cast the spell and he mimics my voice and recites it .

“Wind, form, blade”

White lines flew from a total of twenty-six magic circles and pierced the demonic beasts .

The spear of wind that pierced the magic beast pierced the ground as it was, sending up a splash of sand .

“Gyaaaaah!”

“Guoooh!”

Magic beasts scream from all over the place .

“What, what’s going on!?”

“Don’t think about it now! Slay as many magic beasts as you can!”

The people in the private army seem to be doing a great job .

So far, I haven’t heard that anyone has been hit .

All the magic beasts seemed to be terrified .

“Praise me as the God”

Asura 5000 mercilessly mowed down the magic beasts that had stopped moving .

Its six arms tossed the magical beasts in strips and threw them repeatedly as it rushed forward .

Its appearance was like a fierce general overrunning the enemy camp .

Following that, the members of the private army ran after it, shouting and screaming .

“Looks like we’ll be able to manage……”

The magic beasts have stopped attacking .

With this, we can finally move on to the attack on Hamelin .

“…………”

Hamelin was spinning in a circle and surfacing into the sky .

He closed his mouth, which was laughing fluently, and moved away at a great rate .

“Wind, carry”

He raises his wand .

A breeze rolls up, and Hamelin’s body is entangled .

“Ah?”

The magically charged wind begins to plummet as it clings to Hamelin .

More and more, it fell down to me .

“Aaaaaaah!”

“flame, form, ball”

With my wand pointed at the falling Hamelin, I deployed six magic circles .

A total of six balls of fire are created and one by one they hit Hamelin .

With each hit, a black haze peels off of Hamelin’s body and disappears into the air .

The spirits that made up the demon were being worn away .

When the sixth one hit, one of Hamelin’s eyeballs ripped open from side to side .

The demon’s scream echoes through the forest .

“Puppet, suck it up!”

I point my wand at World Tree’s Ortem .

The World Tree’s Ortem’s mouth is opened wide .

Hamelin is swallowed up into it .

Several black arm-like things grow out of its mouth .

Perhaps it’s trying to escape from his mouth .

World Tree’s Ortem’s mouth closes mercilessly and the outstretched arms are bitten off .

The arm, which had lost its master, disappeared as it mixed with the air .

For a while, something shook like a riot in the World Tree’s Ortem, but soon it grew quiet .

As soon as Hamelin disappeared, the magic beasts scattered and fled as if they had sensed something .

Led by Asura 5,000, the members of the private army chased after the fleeing monsters .

“Don’t be frightened! We’ve got a God on our side, uoooooh!”

“Uooooooooooh!”

…… they’re probably in a state of excessive excitement due to fear and confusion .

The unit members left behind after being injured were staring at their backs with cold eyes .

“Hah, hah…… as I thought, Abel is as good as it gets . ”

Mea sits down against a nearby tree while holding an arrow .

Mea’s arms seem to be quite tired from shooting arrows in succession as well .

Maybe it’s more of a mental fatigue though .

“Abel had to shoot that much magic and not get burned…… What a ridiculous demon . Was he that sturdy?”

“Hmm? No, I just wanted to weaken it just enough to make that adjustment . ”

“What?”

I pick up the World Tree’s Ortem, and pat him on the head .

“It’s a rare demon, it’s too wasteful to defeat it . There’s a lot we don’t know about Hamelin yet, and it’s worth the research . I shot a few of them because I wanted to weaken them without annihilating the main body and also stripping them of their spirits for good . ”

“Isn’t it a weakness-like part that you found!?”

“No, it’s not . And Hamelin itself is essentially an indefinite demon . ”

“It was screaming, wasn’t it!? Mea heard that, you know!?”

If I feed it with my magic power appropriately, it should be fine .

I don’t want it to get too powerful and uncontrollable, so I’ll have to fine-tune it .

It’s a problem for me if the World Tree’s Ortem were occupied .

I’ll just shove it in another container…… or an appropriate bottle .

As I was caressing the World Tree’s Ortem, I was thinking about what name to give it .
