Chapter 316 - Episode Sixteen - Attack of Penrath (7)

“One more time! Carry!”

I wave my wand again.

In the middle of the teleporation magic circle, a rust-colored, ominous textured Ortem appears.

The larger Ortem has four raw eyeballs in the four corners of its face, and a huge mouth opening vertically in the middle of its face.

The six outstretched arms had three joints.

It was a very unpleasant appearance to look at.

“…… Abel-dono, what is that strange monster?”

Euris asked me timidly.

I nodded my head.

“It’s Babylon 8000, the Incarnation of Destruction. It uses the body surface of a Din Eater, a servant of the God Kudor.”

The Babylon 8000 is a repaired and strengthened version of the Asura 5000 that was smashed by Kudor’s tentacles.

It is covered with the spirit body of a Din Eater, which was magically fastened to prevent it from dispersing.

“D-Din Eaters? Don’t tell me that’s the spirit beast that appears in the myth ……?”

When I broke into the ancient cathedral, the corpse of the Din Eater I intended to bring back was lost when the cathedral collapsed, but I cried out to Kudor and somehow succeeded in getting it back.

Surprisingly, the god listened to me.

But when I got carried away and asked her, “when he was going to give me the golden skull”, she walked away so fast that it seems she’s never going to give it to me.

When I think about it, I think she was reluctant to give us the golden skull from the first time she offered it to us, but at first she said, “Well, I would like you to stop, but this is fine too”, I’m sure it was a nuance that she was willing to give to us, so I’d like to keep putting pressure on her.

At any rate, the golden skull was the favorite magic tool of the mythical sorcerer Priest Yohanan.

I’m sure the golden skull is hoping that some future sorcerer will use it rather than keeping it in that lump of tentacles forever.

Besides, it’s easy to get attached to something that you almost had and didn’t.

Penrath was astride the Chimera Dragon, fighting desperately against the wyverns that he had brought with him.

The Chimera Dragon’s huge body unleashed a sharp blow with its tail, using its entire body.

The wyverns dodged it just in time and attacked the Chimera Dragon, each spitting firebombs at the other.

The Chimera Dragon flies around to the side, escaping the firebombs.

It seems that Penrath is so busy dealing with the runaway wyverns that he doesn’t have time to pay attention to us, but since I went to the trouble of transferring him, I’ll use him.

“Puppets, dance”

I conjured the magic circle and activated Babylon 8000.

Red light leaks from the four eyeballs of Babylon 8000.

“Gichigichigichigichigichigichigichi”

An eerie sound was emitted from Babylon 8000.

The six arms with three joints begin to wriggle like tentacles.

“Go, Babylon 8000!”

“Gichigichigichiiii”

Babylon 8000 rushes toward the direction of the Chimera Dragon.

“B-But, it can’t reach the dragon’s altitude, right?”

Euris asks me.

It is true that the Chimera Dragon is fighting the wyverns at a great height.

You might think that an Ortem crawling on the ground would never be able to reach them.

“Well, you’ll see.”

The Babylon 8000 tilted his body and fell on his back.

Six arms stretched out toward his back. It took the form of the Babylon 8000’s body being pushed up into the air, and in that state, the six arms clamored together.

In the next moment, the six arms are stretched out with great force, and Babylon 8000 is thrown into the sky in a straight line of motion.

The Babylon 8000 strikes one of the wyverns high in the sky from behind.

As soon as the wyvern turned around, Babylon 8000 disappeared and the wyvern’s head slipped off.

Before they knew it, the Babylon 8000 was standing on the severed side of the wyvern’s neck.

The lifeless body of the wyvern falls toward the ground.

The Babylon 8000 falls on its back and extends its six arms.

Using the corpse of the wyvern as a foothold, Babylon 8000 is ejected again.

In the next instant, the Babylon 8000’s movement speed exceeds the limit of my visibility.

The heads of the dozen or so wyverns that had surrounded the Chimera Dragon fell from the sky one after another, followed by their bodies.

One of the wyverns turned around and tried to flee the scene.

But the wyvern’s head slipped off, and the Babylon 8000 appeared in its cross section.

“Gichigichigichigichigichigichigichi”

The Babylon 8000 made an eerie sound and disappeared again.

Before I could look for it, the head of another wyvern slipped off.

In the next instant, the Chimera Dragon flew into the sky in a straight line.

I thought it was trying to escape, but there was something different about it.

After a moment’s thought, I understood Penrath’s intentions.

Penrath had flown upwards to counter the Babylon 8000’s super speed.

If he stayed at the same height as the wyvern, he would have no idea which wyvern he would use as a foothold to fly into.

In order to narrow it down, he would ascend far higher than any of the wyverns, and by keeping his distance, he would gain a position where the Babylon 8000 could only fly in a straight line.

The Chimera Dragon stops flying high in the sky and turns itself around, ready for Babylon 8000 to come flying in.

As if to accept the challenge, Babylon 8000 stood on top of one of the falling wyverns, looked up at the Chimera Dragon, and then disappeared.

The Chimera Dragon suddenly released its tail.

I didn’t understand it at all, but it must have been the perfect timing.

There was a loud cracking sound and the Chimera Dragon froze with its tail stretched out in a forward position.

“The Ba-, Babylon 8000 has been outmatched by a counter!?”

I shouted involuntarily.

No way, I had a certain amount of confidence on it.

I’m even using a lot of Din Eaters’ spirit bodies.

I can’t let you be easily defeated in a place like this.

Penrath was smiling triumphantly on the Chimera Dragon’s forehead, his face covered in sweat.

D-, damn it …… but, where is the Babylon 8000 ……

As I was pondering this, the Chimera Dragon’s tail formed a ring of various sizes from the tip and fell to the ground in tatters.

At the same time, the Chimera Dragon’s head slipped off, and Babylon 8000 stood in its cross section without a care in the world.

I decided to give a helping hand to the old man who was clinging to the dragon’s head with a sad face.

“Wind, carry”

The sorcery created a wind that wrapped Penrath’s body and put him to the ground as slowly as possible.

He was an irritating old man, but he was still one of the four most important figures in the new administration of the enemy kingdom.

It’s a good bargaining chip and a good way to extract information.

“Impossible …… The Chimera Dragon, which I’ve spent my entire life creating, is so easily defeated by the puppet of the Marren’s boy …… Is everything I’ve done meaningless? Le-, Levi-sama …… Am I not a sorcerer worthy of reaching the truth? Wasn’t I the vessel for it? Is this foolishness just a clown’s vanity ……?”

Penrath gazed into the void with a soul-deprived look on his face.

I thought it was over, but then the old man looked down at his hands and his face twisted into a hideous grimace.

In the hands of the old man, he was holding a thick grimoire with a lock and chain wrapped around it.

“Fu, fufufu …… Fuhahahahahahahahahaha! Enough is enough! Levi-sama! I am nothing more than an ordinary man, no better than a boy who plays with dolls! But I will give my life to complete this mission and show you!”

Penrath holds up the grimoire.

The lock comes off, and the chain slips easily through.

The book opens, and a huge magic circle unfolds in succession.

It’s an incredibly advanced and detailed magic formula.

It seems to be the magic circle that was built into that grimoire.

It’s probably for capturing and confining demons, but even I can’t tell at a glance.

“Eat up everything in this place! My creation, my greatest success and my worst failure, the evil spirit dragon Azhidhaka!”

A black light leaked out from the open grimoire.
