The semi-magical creature seemed to be completely unaffected by the magic that was powerful enough to partially destroy the dungeon.
ㅤ
In fact, it even seemed to be growing stronger.
ㅤ
“No, no. . . My magic. . . It’s not working. . .”
ㅤ
Ethel, who was wrapped in tentacles, was lifted into the air.
ㅤ
“Eek.”
ㅤ
Tentacles also wrapped around Leslie’s leg as she tried to escape.
ㅤ
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
ㅤ
The bodies of the two who were entangled by the semi-magical creature quickly turned black.
ㅤ
It was Luke’s sword that saved the two.
ㅤ
“Magic stop.”
ㅤ
The remnants of the semi-magical creature that were entwined around their bodies also stopped moving due to Luke’s magic.
ㅤ
“As I thought, magic that interferes with magical power itself is effective.”
ㅤ
Luke nodded in agreement and turned to Alma.
ㅤ
“Alma, can you take care of these three for a while? I need you to distract the semi-magical creature for 10 minutes, no, just 5 minutes.”
ㅤ
“Leave it to me.”
ㅤ
Alma, who had grown larger, picked up the three people from the 《Blue Sky Hawk》.
ㅤ
“What are you doing! Let go!”
ㅤ
“If you scream too much, it’s dangerous. I don’t have the luxury of paying attention to you.”
ㅤ
Alma, while holding the three, dodged the tentacle attacks of the semi-magical creature.
ㅤ
“Miranda-san, this is for you.”
ㅤ
Luke handed Miranda the sword of Adamant Slime.
ㅤ
“With this, you can withstand the corrosion of the semi-magical creature. Can you support Alma with this?”
ㅤ
“I understand. But Luke, what are you going to do?”
ㅤ
“I’m going to analyze that.”
ㅤ
Luke pointed to the destroyed ancient water gate.
ㅤ
“It’s something left by master, so I might be able to figure out how to defeat it.”
ㅤ
“I understand. . . I’m counting on you!”
ㅤ
Miranda said that and jumped out in front of the soldiers who were frozen in fear.
ㅤ
She cut off the tentacles that were stretching towards the soldiers.
ㅤ
“Leave this to me!”
ㅤ
“Please!”
ㅤ
Luke headed towards the ancient water gate.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The water gate was adorned with complex magic patterns.
ㅤ
It was as if a painter who had fallen into madness had painted it.
ㅤ
It would probably be impossible to analyze everything even in a month.
ㅤ
“But I have to do it.”
ㅤ
Luke held his hand over the water gate and poured in magical power.
ㅤ
“Artificial spirit circuit, open from the first gate to the third gate.”
ㅤ
Luke’s left eye emitted a red light.
ㅤ
The path of magical power flowing through the magic pattern floated up in his head.
ㅤ
The structure and function of the magic pattern, which would take 100 years to analyze for a normal magician, flowed into Luke’s head all at once.
ㅤ
Luke’s left eye analyzed the amount of information that would drive an ordinary person mad.
ㅤ
But Luke’s body did not remain unscathed from the burden.
ㅤ
Blood flowed from his left eye, left ear, and nose.
ㅤ
But Luke didn’t stop.
ㅤ
In fact, there was even a smile on Luke’s face.
ㅤ
“So this is. . . the skill of master. . .”
ㅤ
Now, only demons can use the origin magic, and this water gate has become capable of activating it alone.
ㅤ
The ancient water gate used to take in the magical power of the target as a power source, and with the original magic, it was designed to reduce the opponent to pure magic elements.
ㅤ
Moreover, because it is realized without using magic stones that deteriorate over time, the effect lasts semi-permanently until the magic circuit can no longer be used.
ㅤ
In other words, as long as the water gate exists, it will continue to reduce semi-magical creatures to magic elements semi-permanently.
ㅤ
Such technology probably did not exist even in the old empire.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“With this, I can also. . . artificial spirit circuit. . . open from the fourth gate to the ninth gate!”
ㅤ
Luke’s eyes are increasing in light.
ㅤ
Now, blood was flowing from both of Luke’s eyes, but Luke didn’t even show a sign of caring.
ㅤ
A crack runs in the magic circuit engraved on the water gate.
ㅤ
A new pattern is engraved to bypass the part destroyed by the 《Blue Sky Hawk》 .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Alma! Bring the semi-magical creature here!”
ㅤ
“Understood!”
ㅤ
At Luke’s shout, Alma grabbed the semi-magical creature without a moment’s hesitation.
ㅤ
Even the Demonstration Armor made by Iris crumbles with smoke when it is wrapped around the tentacles of a semi-magical creature.
ㅤ
Still, Alma doesn’t stop.
ㅤ
“Take this!”
ㅤ
While clinging to the semi-magical creature that looks like a mountain of sludge, she forcibly pushed it into the back of the water gate.
ㅤ
“Alma!”
ㅤ
“Luke!”
ㅤ
Just before being swallowed by the semi-magical creature, Alma, who had deactivated the Demonstration Armor, clung to Luke’s outstretched hand.
ㅤ
Still, the black tentacles stretch out towards the two.
ㅤ
Luke, who rolled out of the water gate while hugging Alma, closed the water gate with his left hand.
ㅤ
“Restart the Gate of Reduction!”
ㅤ
The magic circuit engraved on the water gate ran with light from the magic power poured into Luke.
ㅤ
The tentacles leaking from the crack in the water gate are reduced to magic elements while sparkling.
ㅤ
It was the last glow of the semi-magical creature born from the magic elements accumulated underground.
