Chapter 118: "Eating"

In the pre-Shuge world, "the dog takes the mouse" was a very widespread saying, and it often ended with "meddling".

But in Vann, this proverb is clearly untenable.

At least for now, the hunting skills of the court hounds against the rat clan have long been deeply engraved into their instincts, and in the short confrontation, Xiuge can see that the hounds must have used the family of the Mother Earth goddess as a hunting target in the past.

Correspondingly, the fear of this kind of abyss hunters must have been carved into the power and blood of some living beings a long time ago.

Therefore, when he saw the monster that was hunting him, the nezumi spellcaster who had been transformed from the mage of the Black Sun Society fell into complete chaos, and a large number of instinctive reactions that did not belong to his body came into play.

In the face of the approaching amorphous figures, the nezumi casters began to use in vain all kinds of magic twisted by the power of the Earth Mother God, but no matter how powerful and effective these spells were, they were never able to successfully hit the strange beings that shuttled through the walls and darkness of the buildings.

"That's enough."

Seeing that the nezumi spellcaster was directly bitten off an arm by the hounds that sprang out from the corner of the wall behind him, Xiuge silently gave an order to the court hounds in the spirit world, and at the moment of receiving the order, the terrifying shadow that was about to hide in the corner of the building and continue to play with its prey suddenly disappeared in place, and the next moment, it appeared from another completely impossible angle.

The Nezumi caster screamed and reached for his magic book, which was his instinct as a human being.

However, the hideous mouth that was large enough to grind solid flesh in an instant gnawed down hard, and under the grinding of sharp teeth and the terrifying bite force, the only remaining arm of the nezumi spellcaster broke off on the spot.

The hound shook its head vigorously, dropping its thin arm off, and then it opened its mouth, and a tentacle that also grew in the mouth but was like a long tongue reached out, striking the head of the nezumi spellcaster with the precision of a straw.

Shuge noticed that the blessed radiance of the Earth Mother God attached to the nezumi spellcaster did not play a defensive role.

It's as if the shield that can easily block ordinary magic is just some kind of decoration.

The caster seemed to be the equivalent of the "priest" to the incoming rat tide, so when the "priest" died, all the attacking rats immediately fell into a state of madness, and their dark yellow blessed glow began to escape uncontrollably, and that power seemed to become the sweetest bait for all the rats to flock to.

Although the rats that carried the will of the Ernst family chose to retreat in the first place, a considerable number of rats were still "infected" by the power of the gods' secret rituals.

In his previous dreams, Xiuge already knew that this blessing from Mother Earth was the most desired thing for all the clans, so when he saw that those powers began to spread towards his "own" rat swarm, he immediately mobilized his magic power and summoned the Running Rat.

….

"Squeak!"

Before the body could take shape, the Running Rat's Snich had already developed a strong sense of excitement and yearning, and it let out a series of screams, and without waiting for Xiuge to give the order, it rushed directly towards the nearest blind mouse.

Without the support of their kind, these rats, who had been ruthlessly punished for "betraying" the gods in the past, were no match for the "pure-blooded" Rat of Galloping, so the rat, who did not know which member of the family belonged to, was immediately singled out by Snicky, and its three tails easily pierced its target, and then seized the power of the god.

Then, it headed for its next goal......

The rat swarm, which was still under control, naturally retreated quickly, but Snikch now had his eyes on the "traitors" who were openly "occupying" the blessings of the gods, and it rushed desperately towards the center of the battle, three long swords attacking rapidly, constantly attacking

Those contenders.

As the battle progressed and the power of Mother Earth God continued to converge, Snikki's body began to change significantly.

At this moment, Snikki's figure began to faintly overlap with the three-tailed giant rats that Shuge had seen in his dreams.

Although there is still a huge gap between it and the "ancestors" who are large and used as war beasts, many similar traits continue to appear.

The first is body type.

As the killing continued, Snicky's body began to swell - this time, Hug was sure that it was not the hairs that had exploded under its bluff, but a real change in size, and while the progress wasn't very noticeable, it was clearly growing in strength.

Then there's the desire to kill and fight.

Although the original Snikki is just as belligerent and bloodthirsty, it still shows a fierce vigilance and fear when it encounters an unstoppable enemy, and it will also let out a miserable scream when "death" comes.

But this time it was different, in the face of the rat tide that had hit it hard before, this wild rat did not show half a point of retreat, on the contrary, as the wounds on its body increased, its eyes began to change from the original dark green to scarlet.

Xiuge hesitated a little at this moment.

Out of the prudent side, he should immediately forcibly take over the mind of his summon and disband, but now is obviously an extremely important time for Snicky, if it can obtain enough blessings from Mother Earth in this swarm of rats, then it may have a chance to "regain" the "glory" of the three-tailed giant rat.

As someone who has indirectly ridden such a ferocious war beast in a dream, a real three-tailed giant rat is too tempting.

Who can refuse a magical mount with strange horns on its head that can single-handedly break through the crowd of enemies?

However, Snikki's presence among the rats is too high, and it has killed a large number of targets, which has allowed it to successfully capture a large number of divine blessings, which makes it the most distinctive "target" of all rats.

….

In this case, even the blind rats, who were also blessed and were under fierce siege, began to take the initiative to rush in the direction of this anomaly.

Wei Lin carefully observed the movements of the rat swarm, she also noticed the changes that were taking place on the summon of Xiuge, combined with what Xiuge said before, Wei Lin immediately guessed something, so she pursed her lips, and immediately mobilized her magic power, and began to cast some magic that she didn't use very often.

A slight humming sound remembers Shug's side, and he looks back in surprise to see that Wei Lin is silently carving magic patterns into the air.

After a few breaths, the pattern was constructed, and under Wei Lin's control, complex magic models began to be assembled.

Eventually, as the magic was completed, the pale blue magic quickly formed a changing glow in front of Wei Lin, and then, from this glow, several different animal figures split out.

With a simple gesture from Vilin, the glow of these animals, which had different forms such as cats, deer, and eagles, immediately dispersed forward, and quickly chased after Snikki's figure.

In an instant, the light and shadow of these animals disappeared into the running rats that were constantly chasing their targets.

"Huh?"

As the summoner of Snicky, Shug immediately felt the benefits of the magic.

With their help, the Rat of Galloping had significantly increased its mana concentration, reaction speed, and mana connection to itself, and as the last ray of light that seemed to be some kind of bear-like creature submerged into Snicky's body, its body immediately began to expand rapidly.

"What is this? The speed of a cat and the strength of a bear?"

Shug couldn't help but ask, and now he felt that he didn't have to worry about Snicky, because with the blessing of these magics, it had already begun to kill its own kind, and the three tails were able to direct those magic rats directly between the flicks

Torn in two, the scene can be described as extremely bloody and brutal.

"In the last chapter of the book Magic and Tricks, this type of magic is introduced...... Specifically for magic summons."

Wei Lin replied slowly as she replenished her mana, "Although this chapter is theoretically an optional reading, I remember I said that you should read the whole book, eh?"

A familiar feeling of "interrogation by the teacher" came to my face.

It's as if you've been spot-checked for a certain topic or an assignment that hasn't been completed.

So Shuge explained very calmly and naturally, "This time has been too urgent lately, and I have focused all my energy on learning how to use the magic book...... Miss Verin, you should have seen it all, and the results are not bad."

As the two spoke, the rats around them remained silent.

These souls, who have not been in contact with ordinary life for many years, are very interested in the topics between young people nowadays, especially the communication style of the two Xiuge, which seems to be very different from the aristocratic young people in their impression.

Wei Lin glanced at Xiuge, and then she nodded slightly, agreeing with Xiuge's explanation.

But then she added: "The magic and rituals of summons have been in the blank space of the Law Committee's research...... Although there has always been a department in the Legal Committee dedicated to the study of the summon magic system, as far as I know, this department has not developed a single new magic for decades, so it is now also included in the general spells."

….

"It's hard to innovate this kind of magic?"

"Well, because the effectiveness of magic and rituals can vary dramatically depending on the summoned creature, you should remember the medium summoning technique I used before, right?"

As Verin stared at the Ramping Rat in the midst of the fight, she explained, "In fact, of the few magical creatures I can summon, only the 'Crow', one that can withstand many different summons, the rest of the time, can only act as pathfinder pets."

"I see, that means that the magic that enhances the summon must be created for the summon itself, but even if it is successfully created, it will be difficult to promote because other types of magical creatures are completely unsuitable?"

"That's right, and it's in this context that quite a few magicians would argue that the known magic that steadily strengthens summoned creatures is actually related to lost sorcery magic, as the workings of them have not been fully dismantled until now."

At the mention of sorcery, Wei Lin's speech began to quicken, as if she had forgotten that she was in an eerie underground floor, and that there was a group of rats in front of her, and her eyes behind her glasses began to glow visibly, and her otherwise gentle tone began to become powerful.

"I thought it was a cover for the incompetence of the summoning researchers, but now I don't think so......

As she spoke, Wei Lin once again constructed the magic pattern, and a new enhancement spell immediately fell on the Running Mouse, which made the seemingly tired Snicky become energetic again.

"Mr. Shug, all these abilities you have now must be related to sorcery, right?"

Wei Lin asked seriously, "This rat named 'Sniki', that terrible monster just now, and even the kind of tentacles you use for lethal magic...... They all seem to possess the properties of 'summons,' and if they are indeed closely related to the era in which sorcery magic was created, then I can make a bold assumption that the so-called 'Mother Earth's secret rituals' are similar in nature to summoning and enhancing magic that has been handed down to this day."

"As we see now, the power of this magical ritual can change the form of living beings, increase their power, and even interfere with their thinking, and this essence is an extremely powerful and terrifying enhancement magic that we cannot yet comprehend, except that the scope of this magic is not only for specific magical creatures, but also for humans."

Said

Here, the female mage breathed a sigh of relief, and she unconsciously showed a smile full of anticipation: "Mr. Shuge, I have a hunch...... When your summon manages to absorb all the magic here, it may be able to reveal many secrets to us about the sorcery and the lost gods that are followed and worshipped by the Black Sun Society, and I'm looking forward to it."

Before he could finish speaking, a piercing scream suddenly came from among the rats.

Xiuge immediately shifted his attention to the Running Mouse, and through the magic link between the two sides, he was surprised to find that the concentration of magic in his body had reached a limit at this moment.

It's almost blown up by the magic!

So the speed of the codeword decreases indefinitely, and the second more today will be relatively late
