25 Episode 9 "Human Wolf Trap".txt (2/2)

''As for you, I knew that if you burned down those cat race warcats' shops, they would come to you that day.

...... Did you burn down Misha's shop to lure me in?

Yes, of course. Yes, of course. I've always been a bit of a pain in the ass, so I had to warn you. That way, they're out of the way and they can lure you in. So we can kill two birds with one stone, right?

I'm reminded of Elfi's words about choosing your friends.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

The fact that he didn't let us join the guild was a provocation.

They say that as long as you are there, you can't achieve your goal.

”-The Demon Robbing Wards. How does it feel to have your magic power sucked out of you?

Seeing me unable to move due to the lack of magic power, Merwin sneered with a cluck.

Warding.

I'm sure you've been using it for a long time.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

It's the warding that Merwin used to call it.

It must have been an advanced warding spell that needed to be prepared in advance.

There must be a device to activate the warding.

Perhaps it's around the back side of this room.

The effect is to continue activating until the target's magic power is absorbed.

Right now, though, it seems to have finished its job by absorbing all my magic power.

It seems that the magic stone hasn't been deprived of its power, but it requires a minimum amount of magic power to use it.

Once it's completely empty, you can't use the magic stone.

''However, it's a letdown. Even though this ward was prepared for your friends there, it's a shame that you're going to die, not to mention taking away their magic power.''

”.........

Oh, she's not moving. It seems that you are able to see things more or less dispassionately, isn't it?

Pointing at Elfie, who is rolling around losing his head, Merwin laughs disgustedly.

He is provoked.

But with a body that's lost its magic, it can't move as it should.

He tightens his grip on the hilt of his sword, but he still can't move.

''Oh, yes. -- ”Flame Bullet.”

”Ugh.

Flames shot out from Merwin's arms with great vigor.

He caught it off with his sword, but the heat burned his skin with jizz.

''Is this ...... you the one who burned the store?''

Well, I'm not sure.

...... It's not the same thing. Who did this to you? Answer me.

You must be joking. Now I'll personally burn you down like in the shop.

Immediately after declaring this, a series of flaming bullets fly in succession.

The only thing I can do is catch them with my sword.

The werewolf species (werewolves) are enjoying watching me, whistling at the sight of me.

But it doesn't last long.

Eventually, the flamethrower took a bite out of the flames and I fell to the ground.

It's not a good idea. If the old you would have seen it, you would have been very sad.

Merwyn stopped his magic and sneered.

''...... you...''

Oh, that's the one, that's the one. Your savior face makes me sick when I see it. I like the look on your face, the one with no room to spare.

Even as he falls, he doesn't let go of the hilt of his sword.

With his sword in his grip, he glares at Merwin.

''I bet you'll have a great look on your face when you see a human destroyed.

When I laughed at such a situation, Merwin said with a look of insufferability.

The humans will be destroyed?

The Demon King Ortegia will soon regain his power. When that happens, the human race will be destroyed.

”Are you ...... going to switch sides with the Demon King?

'I will only reach the powerful. I don't want to die yet.

My companions already know that, and I'm not upset with the refrained werewolf species.

''The first target is here - the United Kingdom. We're going to help with the invasion, and then we'll be able to join the Demon King's Army.

...... So that's how you try to sell others again to save yourself.

Yes.　I'm the most important person in the world. Is there something wrong with that?

............

Well, that's fine. I think we should end this now. Let's ask the ghosts of 30 years ago to leave here.

With that, Merwin turned his arm towards me again.

''Well, are you ready then?''

Apparently, he doesn't want to make any more conversation.

It's time.

”Flame Bullet.”

Flying fireballs.

And I'm not going to.

”Our magic usurpation (spell dibauer)”

Exercise magic.

I saw the power of the magic released decrease and lightly cut both sides with the sword in my grip.

''What......?''

He slowly gets up in front of Merwin, who is astonished.

He was morosely hit by a fireball, but there was no significant damage.

It's because the robe's magic resistance and the effect of the 'Anti-Magic Armor' has drastically reduced its power.

All of the ...... magic power should have been taken away.

The one I've been clutching onto for a while now is the 'Jade Tathagata'.

One of its effects is that as long as you have your feet on the ground, you will recover your magic power little by little.

Now that the absolute amount of magic power is low, most of the magic power has been recovered during the conversation.

''It's ...... warding!''

Merwin raises his arm and urges the warding to be activated.

However, the warding does not activate.

''What do you mean ......?''

What's up? Is the deception over?

...... You'd better not get too carried away. ......!

Merwin snapped his fingers.

He must have given a signal to the ambushers in the back of the room.

But no one came out.

''...... Why hasn't anyone come out!

Finally, Merwin revealed his agitation.

Apparently, the trick is over.

Haven't you figured it out yet?

What do you mean ......?

You've been concentrating on shaking me too hard.

Elfi's head and torso were decapitated and lying on the ground.

Both of which are now gone.

”You can come out now, Elfie.

...... Mm.

''Ha!''

The door leading to the back of the wall opened and Elfi appeared from inside.

The head that was supposed to have been cut off is connected and there is not a single wound.

Merwin looks at Elfie with an expression as if he were looking at a ghost.

'You went out of your way to pretend you were killed because Iori told you to be vigilant. There were just a few dozen bad dogs waiting in the wings.

'Yeah, my bad. We could have fought this one head-on.

What is ...... huh?

Elfi currently only has a neck.

All other parts of the body are minute body.

I was wary of Merwin's trap, so I used my altered body to pretend to be dead and asked Elfie to do something about the trap that was being set while my attention was diverted.

It seemed that they had set up various wards for me versus me, but it seemed that Elfi had destroyed them so far.

Now only Merwin and the elite werewolf species are left.

''Now, are you ready?''

Alongside Elfi, he pointed his sword at Merwin.
