Chapter 312 - Episode Twelve - Attack of Penrath (3) (Side: Penrath)
It was a few days ago, before the attack on the two Nalgarn in the Fage territory.
A small, elderly man had stepped into the throne room, the place of communication with Levi, the God of Water.
His wrinkled face and jade green eyes glittered with an inquisitive desire.
One of the four great priests of the God of Water, Penrath Bonge, at first glance from a distance, appeared to be nothing more than a small, poor old man who did not fit the grandiose high-ranking priestly uniform of the New Levi Religion.
However, if you approach him and see his vicious face twisted by his lust for knowledge, you will not underestimate him as just an old man.
In front of the crystal on the throne to communicate with Levi, Penrath sinks his claws into his balding head with his wrinkled little hands, and rejoices madly.
” Oh, how fortunate that the great and wise Levi-sama, our guide, has invited me here! For the sake of the stupid and petty fools who can only believe in magical theories distorted and stagnant in the selfish interpretations and communications of men, will you also enlighten us with some of your vast wisdom, Levi-sama? “
Penrath draws closer over to the crystal, put his hand on the throne, while his spit flying around.
The crystal glows, and Levi’s words leak out.
“You have come well, Penrath. I will now give you a great command.”
Penrath listened carefully to Levi’s words, making sure not to miss a single syllable.
“So It’s not like I’m going to get any instruction from Levi-sama, is it ……? But when I have finished the great command, you have to definitely teach me the essence of magic again ……!”
Penrath was not unaware of the lack of response to his words, but he was still verbally requesting Levi to teach him magic.
Levi was far more ancient than Penrath, and as a spirit-formed life form himself, he had a deeper knowledge of magic than most humans.
In fact, it is a common practice for demons to use their knowledge of magic as bait to attract sorcerers, and the reason why Penrath worships Levi is because Levi used his knowledge of magic as bait to catch him.
However, recently, Penrath had already absorbed most of his knowledge, and Levi felt threatened that if he taught Penrath any more, he would be measured against his own depths, so he stopped dealing with Penrath, partly because he found him troublesome.
That was how greedy Penrath was about magic.
There are only a handful of sorcerers in the world who can adjust magic formulas, and Penrath is one of the best.
“Penrath, with your full strength …… attack the Dinrat Kingdom.”
Interrupted, Penrath cowered slightly in disappointment, but then smiled at Levi’s words.
“Is it finally an all-out war ……? So it’s to make up for Mr. Nelgliffe and Ms. Marias’ mistakes …… or more like a revenge attack. “
“Send in the sentries and drag Abel of the Marren to the mountain, and use all your strength to buy time. Use the chaos to get others to retrieve the Sky God’s legacy. That’s enough for now. I’m going to use it to trap Abel and take back my spear.”
“Huh. …… I see? But isn’t Levi-sama a bit too cautious with one little boy? I’m It’s true that he’s the sorcerer who captured Mr. Nelgliffe and Ms. Marias and stole the spear from Levi-sama, so he must be very skilled, but…”
“In any case, if I lose you now, Sateria will be the only one left of the four great priests of the Riveras Kingdom. Move carefully.”
“Wha-! If Levi-sama says so, then everything will be as it should be ……”
Despite his words, Penrath was still somewhat dissatisfied.
(Levi-sama doesn’t know …… that if I were to throw all my strength into this, it would be enough to plunge the whole of Dinrat Kingdom into a disaster. Well, it’s okay, because if Levi-sama is underestimating me, then the results will overturn it! I don’t know who you’re trying to move, but I will recover the Sky God’s legacy! I will knock down Abel, take back the spear, and destroy the Dinrat Kingdom!)
Penrath smiles faintly at the two eyeballs protruding from his face, filled with evil thoughts.
(And then I would be able to receive Levi-sama’s teachings again. I will develop my eyes to see the truth and become closer to the golden alchemist, the perfect form of sorcerers that I seek. When that happens, I will become a great sage who will surpass any sorcerer in history, and will be equal to and surpass even Levi-sama…! Yes, this foolish me will be the new God!)
-A few days after the communication with Levi, Penrath astride the Chimera Dragon, a synthetic magical beast chimera with a spliced body surface and rich colors of his own creation, flew through the sky to the Dinrat Kingdom.
Behind the soaring Chimera Dragon, twelve Chimera Wyverns, much smaller in length than the Chimera Dragon but with larger wings, followed.
Below, an army of nearly fifty trolls, huge, ugly demons with a green body surface and a length of nearly four meters, lined up, with two Nalgarns running ahead of them.
“Hahaha! Spectacular view, spectacular view! And!”
Penrath almost dropped the huge, chained book in his hands, and struggled to hold it up.
The book was thumping, as if it was trying to tear the chains apart.
This book was a magical tool that could forcibly trap demons and spirit beasts in the sub-dimension of the book.
It was said to have been left behind by the earth god Garuja, who excelled in warding and sealing magic, and was called Garuja’s Book.
But it had somehow ended up in the hands of Penrath.
Once, when he was involved in the study of spirits, which is considered forbidden, he created an unruly monster that he didn’t understand, so he sealed it up.
As they approached the Dinrat Kingdom, Penrath lowered the altitude of the Chimera Dragon.
It then landed on the Riveras Kingdom’s side of the bordering mountain range.
“Now, the first thing I had to do was hide myself and lure Abel and the others to Nalgarn. I just hope he doesn’t get too carried away and escape.”
“Don’t think bad of me, Abel. This is war, after all.”
Penrath was looking at the backs of the two Nalgarns with a dark smile on his face.
