Chapter 129: The Book of Magic
"Since you can grasp my purpose, you can't just leave it alone."
Oistaha took the weapon out of his robes. It is a metal half-moon axe that has been seen in the past, and it is a battle axe with a huge blade.
His one-sided mirror, staring at the ancient city, constantly glowed red. In Oistaha's field of vision, the analyzed information was directly projected.
"...... vampires of unknown origin? Hmm...... As a filthy demon, do you plan to hinder our holy war? Then as a teacher, I don't need a reason to hesitate to kill you! β
"I see, you don't remember two months ago, do you? Stop, uncle. The reason I'm fighting you isβ"
"Shut up, demons!"
Oistaha roared. After accelerating through the reinforced armor, his ** swung the half-moon axe in front of the ancient city. It's so fast that you can't dodge.
But he was already different from the sixth-order master two months ago, how could he be knocked down by Ouistaha's blow.
"Uncle, I told you to stop......! Bolt of Thunder !! β
Powerful golden lightning struck Oistaha like an electric snake. made him lose his combat effectiveness all of a sudden.
Looking at Oistaha who fell to the ground, the figure of the ancient city slowly disappeared.
"I have no reason to fight you..."
β¦β¦
Books known as magic books do exist.
They used to be useful books that recorded incantations, the steps of magic rituals, and the control of the existence of spirits.
But in the process of accumulating a huge amount of knowledge, it began to become a book with powerful magical powers, and eventually it became a thing that could give readers the power to surpass human intelligence and summon powerful calamities.
This is the Book of Magic, books of power.
Anyone who seeks the way of the devil wants to be able to obtain the magic guide book.
However, there are still a few people who can actually read its contents and control the huge magic power accumulated in it.
To date, countless researchers have failed to control the Wizard Book, and the Wizard Book has been destroyed as a result. The calamity that flowed from it destroyed several cities and polluted the souls of tens of thousands. In the process, a large number of magic books were lost.
Worried about this situation, the Magus and the Witches set up the LCO, an organization known as the "Library".
They collected the Magic Books all over the world, sorted them tightly according to their use, and sealed them away.
Then only the chosen ones can lend it out. It's not for the development of the magician, nor is it for the sake of protecting the peace of the world, it's just to satisfy your curiosity and **-
The "Library" is a group of extremely casual and self-righteous magic researchers, and it also has the nature of a criminal organization left over from its inception.
One of the books of magic books owned by this LCO, the place where "No.539" was liberated, is in the center of the "Demon Special Zone", on the roof of the central stone gate.
On the roofs of huge buildings in the shape of inverted pyramids, a huge crimson magic circle is depicted. This is the enchantment of the Guardian Wizard Book.
The material used to depict the magic array is the blood of the members of the SAR Garrison. Leave them mortally wounded guarding the central stone gates, and use the blood that flows from their bodies to build the stage for this ritual magic. The wounded guards groaned in pain and were thrown aside like broken painting tubes.
"Don't you think it's pretty, Octavia? I have a premonition that I will have a wonderful encounter today. β
Standing in the center of the magic circle is the eldest sister of the Meia sisters, Emma, a witch dressed in pitch black.
The ancient book she guarded was constantly absorbing the vitality of the guards who were sacrificed, exuding strong magical fluctuations. In order to make them the power source of the Magister, the two sisters did not kill the guards.
"It's really my sister. Reading fate from meaningless objects β are you imitating the ancient fateists? β
The crimson witch, Octavia Maya, looked at the blood-stained magic array with a certain contemptuous expression. Unlike her sister, she didn't have a pleasant interest in looking at the dying man.
What she likes is a more gorgeous way of sprinkling brains and guts, full of splashes.
"Now, my sister. Don't you think the remaining fools on the tower are an eyesore? β
Can you go and kill them, with such an attitude of asking her sister, the scarlet witch looked up.
In front of her eyes was the iron tower, which doubled as a radio tower, and the glass-covered observation hall. Because the two sisters occupied the roof, the tourists were locked in the hall and could not get out. They could only stare at the tragedy unfolding in front of them from the place where they had become a prison.
"Leave them alone, Octavia."
The dark witch scolded her sister.
"It is also interesting to use their fears and despair to decorate the moment when our sad wish is fulfilled."
ββ¦β¦ It's a wonderful thing to look at, my sister. No matter how much you pray, God doesn't intervene with miracles β you're trying to be theological, aren't you? β
The crimson witch sighed a little unconvinced. It's been a long time since they've been setting up a formation on top of this building, and they're starting to get a little bored.
"The tilting of the space is really comfortable."
Turning the magic book carefully, Emma said.
Although it cannot be seen with the eyes of ordinary people, the space around Hyunshin Island is now being cracked like a spider's web. These cracks are slowly growing, searching for something like the tentacles of living beings.
Cracks can affect people with powerful magical powers, but that's just a side effect.
No matter where the person caught up in the spatial distortion is thrown toss, or who is attracted from another timeline (shang), it is a trivial matter. Compared to the chaos that will come in the future, it is not even a boredom aftertaste.
"Ah, that's right. And this power is really powerful, 'Witch of the Firmament'β"
Unconsciously with an unwilling expression, Octavia said.
The magic book "No.539" borrowed from the LCO - and it wasn't the two sisters who actually controlled it. The Meia sisters belong to the first team "Philosophy". Although it is a powerful school that can manipulate the law of cause and effect or the theory of existence, on the other hand, it is relatively unfamiliar with physical magic such as space control.
The original interpreter of "No.539" was another witch sent by LCO, a newcomer who completely mastered the magic of space control and was named "The Witch of the Sky".
"Of course. She's a witch who was designed for this purpose. Let's put it to good use, before we find that. β
Saying the loser's hard words, Emma laughed. That's right, that little girl is a prop, but it's a good doll. In agreement, Octavia smiled.
The next moment, the sisters' smiles froze because they found the cold murderous aura that was coming towards them.
"What man!?"
"Isn't it rude to defile this rare artistic landscape with dirty feetββ!
The two of them, who were hanging from the willow eyebrows, turned around, and then they lost their previous margin.
An intruder stepped on the magic circle they had drawn in blood. He is a person with supernatural magical powers.
A miasma mist floated out of the magic array, and translucent tentacles crawled out of the mist.
That was the day before yesterday, the troops of the SAR garrison were destroyed in an instant, the monster of Ashdowne, the "guardian" of the Meia sisters. It reacts to foreign objects entering the barrier and begins to attack automatically. Countless tentacles struck the intruder, smashing it to piecesβ
The next moment I thought about it, because of the storm of powerful explosions, the tentacles of the "Guardian" were blown away.
"What!?"
The witch sister's expression was contorted in surprise.
In the midst of the tentacle flesh that rained down, the intruders continued to walk as if nothing had happened, staring at them coldly.
It was a beautiful blonde man in a pure white three-piece suit, with a haughty smile on his lips and huge teeth peeking out of his lips.
"Oh, yes, I thought you could make me happier and let it go, but I didn't expect you to hide here, secretly buying time. Am I overestimating 'The Witches of Ashdowne'? β
"You...... You are......!? β
"Di ...... Dimitoriye Wattola ......!? β
The witches uttered the man's name in a trembling voice.
The prestige of Dimitoriye Vatora, the nobleman of Europe's "War King's Domain", is also widely known among the members of the LCO.
Not because he's one of the "old-time" vampires, but because he loves to fight, a rare battle maniac for his own pleasure, which even the vampires of his clan can devour. His existence is synonymous with terror for the demons or witches who operate in Europe.
The encounter between the "Demon Special Zone" and the "Serpent Messenger" on this border is the worst accident imaginable. Because of his boredom, it's not surprising when he was killed.
"That's what caused the changes around Hyun God Island......"
Without glancing at the existence of the two sisters, Vatora glanced at the magic book "No.539" that was being driven. However, his interest in this was only for a moment.
"It's a pretty good magic, but it's simply an application version of the Vision Crystal. I think you're looking for valuables and stuff that have been sealed in the Demon Zone. What a pity...... The expectation was wrong. β
Disappointed, Vatora shrugged casually.
Thick waves of magic burst from his right hand, and under its influence, the function of the magic book ceased.
Wattola didn't mean to save Hyunjin Island, but just planned to stomp the eye-catching flies flying around her feet. But for the Meia sisters, the plan will be shattered here. In the face of this overwhelming injustice, the scarlet witch, who had been trembling with fear, roared.
"Stop, Octavia!"
Emma tries to stop her. However, the crimson witch activated her magic book as she let out a roar. Magic Book "No.193" - A book that has caused the "Ashdawn Tragedy" in the past, ominous books.
"Monad (from Greek, translated as monad) has no windows, only appearances remainββ!" (Translation: This sentence originates from the German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's exposition on the law of cause and effect. οΌ
Reacting to Octavia's chanting, a miasma of mist erupts from the magic circle. The mist turned into the form of tentacles again. However, the color of the tentacles was different from before, covered in pitch-black and crimson spots.
