Chapter 347 - Episode Forty-Seven - Levi The G.o.d of Water (1)
The top of the tower-like palace was destroyed by Levi’s hand-blade strike.
The shattered walls and floor rubble of the palace fell downward.
“…… Seriously, this is his own palace, right? What an outrageous thing to do.”
I instantly called the small wooden dragon Metsutori with teleportation magic or rode it, and escaped from the collapsing palace.
I flew around the palace in a circle.
“You must have been very upset with Abel-chan and Me …… and later, I’m sure he’s got a lot of resentment towards Mea-chan. We’ve all been saying some pretty rude things.”
Peter says to me in disgust
But …… rather than that, this is the first time I saw Levi’s entire image, it was quite oppressive.
A blue-skinned giant of about the same height stands next to a huge palace.
At a glance, he seemed to be less than forty meters long.
The old man’s face had three eyes on his forehead, and his lower body was a giant fish.
It was exactly the Levi I had seen in religious paintings.
He certainly had the air of a myth.
Sateria was floating on Levi’s shoulders, holding a large staff.
The water of absolute protection, created by the dragon vein, formed a spherical shape, and Sateria was inside it.
“So we’re going to fight something like this ……”
When I actually saw it, it has a completely different intensity from when it was just an arm.
I had expected this since I had seen Kudor’s regenerative abilities, but I should have lost one of my wrists, and yet here I am with two of them as if it were a matter of course.
“Thoroughly understand the power that dominated the Age of Mythology! Sateria, give me my weapon!”
Levi raised his right arm.
A three-p.r.o.nged spear appears in Levi’s hand, representing Levi’s spear with water.
Instantly, Levi thrusts out the spear in his hand.
The spear pierced through the palace and attacked us on the other side.
If Metsutori had not accelerated when he sensed the spear’s thrust, we would have been skewered.
I turn my attention to the ground.
Levi’s palace is surrounded by a doughnut-shaped channel, and he is standing inside the circle.
The outer edge of the ca.n.a.l was filled with Levi followers who had apparently rushed there after seeing Levi’s gallant figure during the meeting.
Many of them seemed to have been pushed out and fell into the ca.n.a.l.
“Behold, Levi-sama is fighting directly to save us from the clutches of Kudor believers! Oh!”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it …… such a divine figure!” “Isn’t there anything I can do to help?”
“Pray! It’s the only way!” “Oh! Even the Pope is ……!”
As you can see, Levi is very popular on his home ground.
From what I’ve seen of Levi Church’s teachings so far, I know that if I try to blame him, I won’t get away with imprisonment, and I’m sure that’s part of the reason.
There was nothing I could do, some of them were pointing their fingers at me and saying, “You demon who works for the evil G.o.ds!”, and sometimes sending water spears at me.
They were unlikely to reach my alt.i.tude, and they weren’t fast enough to hit me.
I’m sure they know that, but I guess they feel compelled to do something about it.
The shaven-headed, eyebrowless Levi follower Malevial, whom I defeated before making contacting with Sateria, also forcibly reinforced his broken staff with a bandage he apparently brought from around the area, and fired a series of water magic bullets at the Metsutori.
“A demon like you can’t bother Levi-sama, Ooooooooohhhhhh! We will not let you defile the Holy City any longer. Oooooooooooooohhhhhhh!”
…… I can safely ignore the ones below, but their bloodshot eyes are scary.
I can feel serious killing intent. His subordinate held him by the shoulders and persuaded him, “If you lose any more magic power, you will die of weakness!”.
“Looks like I’m hated …… I knew it, though ……”
“Of course they do. I’m sure they’d like to curse us to death, even if it costs them their lives. If When we get Levi’s head, it won’t be like this, so be prepared!”
This one has a tofu mentality, so please give me a break.
I was caught and sticked out, but then again, I’m not suited for this kind of occasion.
If a sword is no good, I should have made a high-functioning auto-mechanical item to lure the collector and push them as hard as you can.
“You think you’ve already won? It’s time for you to prepare yourself now!”
Levi spun the spear dexterously with one hand.
A disk-shaped afterimage was formed. Levi maintained the rotation and smashed the spear at me.
By expanding his range, he made it impossible for me to avoid him with small movements.
Metsutori’s speed increases and he ascends, dodging a spear blow and took his back.
“Mu ……?”
For a moment, Levi lost sight of me.
Most likely, they thought that if Metsutori made a sudden move, we’d be blown away by inertia, so they decided to attack us in a way we couldn’t evade.
However, Metsutori has a force field that cancels out inertia and headwinds at all times, thanks to the arithmetic function of the magic formula and the warding developed by the magic ore.
It can move freely, no matter how reckless.
“I’m sorry to trouble Sateria-san, but …… Levi will be subjugated here!”
I had been preparing the Abel ball on the tip of my staff while I was moving.
The flame ball at the tip of my wand repeatedly compressed and amplified, emitting a white glow.
Levi noticed the light and turned his body.
“This is …… from that time!”
I shoot the Abel ball at Levi’s chest as he looks back.
I heard the Levi followers shuddering, but it was quickly drowned out by the roar of the Abel ball colliding with something.
The area turns white.
In the haze of my vision, I saw the Abel ball stop in front of Levi.
The light immediately clears, and in front of Levi, I can see the Abel ball being blocked by the water of the dragon vein deployed in the shape of a shield.
The shield envelops the Abel ball and shrinks it.
A huge magic circle floats and sinks, dispersing and efficiently dissipating the Abel ball’s magic power.
“Th-, that water is that hard, huh …… At any rate, flames are no good. “
I didn’t expect it to be such a powerful shield.
It’s not just the amount of magic power in the dragon vein. Even I can’t replicate the efficiency of the protection provided by that technique.
Even Kudor was quite reluctant to take on the Abel ball head on.
Levi covered his face with his hand and peered fearfully through the gap between his fingers at Abel’s ball, and when he saw that it had been successfully neutralized, he lifted both ends and smiled.
“Ku, kukuku …… how is it, did you see that, Abel! I overcame your attack! This is my true power, my power in its prime! How can a mere mortal be a match for the magical power of one of the Four Great Creators!”
Levi laughs.
“I underestimated him a little ……”
I muttered, and Peter paled.
“H-Hey, Abel-chan, is it okay? We took the spear, and since you pushed so hard against the G.o.d Kudor, I thought we could win ……! You’re not prepared for what happens if we lose!?”
“What should I do? I kind of want that Dragon Vein Technique ……”
“…… should I take it that it’s okay?”
Peter asks me with a puzzled look on his face.
I have to admit, I’m nervous too. I didn’t expect the dragon vein to be this powerful.
It’s no wonder that Count Julem chose him as a p.a.w.n and that Kudor was wary of him.
Even if he’s rotten, he’s still one of the four great creator G.o.ds.
The Levi followers were even more excited after Levi canceled out my Abel ball.
We were surrounded by cheers and praise for Levi.
“Ugh …… cough, cough ……”
Sateria floating on Levi’s shoulder held her mouth with her hand, her body trembling, and coughed.
“Saaaateria! The outline of the spear is now distorted! Concentrate!”
“Ah, yes, I’m very sorry ……”
Mea narrowed her eyes, looking at Sateria.
“…… There’s something like blood on Sateria-san’s hand.”
“It seems that Sateria’s body, which is responsible for pumping the magic from the dragon vein, is not able to keep up with Abel-chan’s magic. It’s hard, but that should have a chance!”
