Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

However, what Kato Megumi did not feel was that with the arrival of the evil chill, a wisp of black mist with no sense of existence quietly penetrated into her sea of ​​​​consciousness, and was completely imperceptible.

This environment seemed to be the home of the black fog. Unconsciously, Kato Megumi's keen perception became dull, so she did not notice the invasion of the black fog at all.

The black mist was like a fish entering the sea, constantly wandering in Kato Megumi's spiritual sea, swimming freely in this spiritual sea filled with mist. At the same time, the black on its body seemed like contagious ink, and as it swam, it began to constantly erode the surrounding colorless threads.

If Kato Megumi explored into the spiritual sea, she would find that the colorless spiritual sea was like a piece of white paper, which began to be infected and dyed black piece by piece. The ink wet the paper and spread with an unstoppable force.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 208 Chapter The Invasion of the Black Army

Faced with the endless darkness around her and the ominous aura lingering around her, Kato Megumi was in a state of confusion, and all kinds of helpless emotions surged into her heart.

There is fear of the unknown, fear of unfamiliar places, disgust at the surrounding atmosphere, suspicion of everything, and so on.

I am usually calm and composed, but for some reason, in this special dark condition, I seemed to be unable to control my emotions. My figure and steps that had stopped, began to move back and forth uncontrollably.

"You must calm down... don't panic"

Kato Megumi murmured to herself, trying to take out the lighting tools from the space, trying to dispel the darkness and restore her suddenly confused thoughts.

However, Kato Megumi then discovered that her space suddenly became unreachable for some reason.

"What's going on... This shouldn't be happening."

Kato Megumi's face was full of confusion and she became more and more impatient. This sudden bad news not only intensified her feeling of irritability, but also made her unable to calm down.

Next, Kato Megumi wanted to try to mobilize the magic power inside her body to cast a fireball for lighting, however, the result was still pessimistic. Whether it was the magic power outside the body or the magic power inside the body, it seemed that neither of them could be mobilized. It was impossible to form a power that could fill the spell model and form a complete magic.

"What on earth is going on? Why is this happening..."

Kato Megumi was puzzled.

Not only that, she also discovered that she had lost many abilities without realizing it, even the ability to sense magic power was close to nothing. No matter how she calmed down and sensed, she could not sense the various energies of the outside world, and she could not even look inward at her spiritual sea.

At this moment, she seemed to have completely become an ordinary person. She no longer had her keen perception, nor the ability to mobilize magic. Even her spiritual sea had quietly disappeared. She could not make any favorable counterattacks against the current situation and could only stay in the darkness at a loss.

At this moment, she sensed something was wrong, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in her mind. However, before she could continue thinking, all kinds of emotions that suddenly surged in her heart quickly disrupted her newly born vigilance.

……

……

The invasion of the black mist was silent. Kato Megumi didn't know that her spiritual sea had been invaded by an unknown thing, disturbing her thoughts and eroding her will.

The black color was like an unscrupulous thief. It started out by roaming stealthily around the spiritual sea, assimilating everything around it.

When the time was almost right and more and more fog was assimilated around, it began to rush in arrogantly, killing and robbing. Unlike its previous cautiousness, this time the fog seemed to have figured out that there was nothing here that posed a threat to it, and it became unscrupulous, like a swarm of locusts passing through a field, with arrogance and unstoppable momentum, it began to move from the outside to the inside.

Then Kato Megumi knew nothing about all this. She felt as if her consciousness was imprisoned by some hazy veil. All the suppressed emotions in her soul surged into her heart as if they had no control and began to attack the will that dominated her soul.

The whole soul seemed to be torn into pieces, each with its own wantonness, each with its own publicity, fiery passion, icy calmness, surging desire, and biting murderous intent.

These emotions that did not belong to oneself began to pour in from the outside world, like seeing a piece of delicious cake, rushing towards Kato Megumi at a rapid speed, strengthening the black mist inside the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

The result was that Kato Megumi's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and the fog inside the spiritual sea expanded infinitely. Before long, the entire spiritual sea was no longer filled with colorless soul power as usual. It was no longer empty and broad as usual, but was filled with endless black, filled with endless malice, and churning waves.

As time passed, the endless army of black fog finally arrived inside the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the black fog saw the slowly flowing nebula. The endless flow of black fog seemed to be a march that was suddenly ordered to stop, and it immediately settled down.

With a whoosh, a wisp of pure black mist emerged from the black fog, and seemed to be conscious and curiously looking at the nebula in front of it.

This was something it had never seen before. The black fog subconsciously moved closer and touched the nebula surrounding the golden ball of light that looked like the sun. The nebula contained all kinds of complicated human desires, which were all kinds of impurities stripped from faith. They were also the black fog's favorite things.

The black fog was like a curious child. It moved forward hesitantly, with the mist around it swaying back and forth, as if it was shaking its head and tail in thought. Finally, the black fog curiously turned the mist into two claws, quickly stole a piece of the rotating nebula fragment, and then stuffed it into its own cotton-like martial arts air mass.

Hmm!

good to eat!

The black fog ball was glowing all over, and the fog around it was shrinking excitedly. It didn't expect that the food in front of it was so delicious. It was simply a windfall.

Go! Pikachu.

A small black mist emerged from the body and made a hand gesture, calling the black army behind it to come forward.

If you don't eat something this delicious, then when will you wait?

In an instant, the dark situation was like a storm, with dark clouds covering the sky and the sun, moving forward with an unstoppable force.

It's like two armies are halfway through a battle, and before one side knows anything, the other side takes the initiative to attack.

The sea of ​​spirit has only three colors. In the middle is a rotating light ball emitting golden light, surrounded by a deep gray nebula rotating around it. Outside the nebula is overwhelming darkness, which is very similar to the state of the universe, and it invisibly contains and presents a certain regular shape.

However, this black was not invisible and harmless, but a real and aggressive alien. The moment the black and gray came into contact, the spinning nebula paused and stopped instantly, and the black cloud got its wish and ate the delicious snack. The gray nebula was quickly devoured, and in a short while, most of it was eaten up. Not long after, a gap was gnawed in the spinning nebula, forming a half-moon shape.

As an impurity, the nebula should be able to block the entry of various harmful and aggressive strange energies, but unfortunately, the black cloud in front of it happens to restrain the so-called nebula filtering device. To it, the nebula in front of it is not a guardian, but a piece of finely chopped food, which is extremely delicious.

Delicious! I want more!

The black mist was not satisfied yet. It ate a hole in the nebula and immediately turned its gaze to the golden ball of light that was still rotating unconsciously in front of it.

With a whoosh, the black mist that appeared to be an intruder immediately rushed forward.

Shila-

!!!

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 209 Chapter : Breaking Away from the Illusion

Like the collision of water and fire, the black mist hadn't touched for a moment when a violent chemical reaction occurred instantly, as if a cup of concentrated sulfuric acid was suddenly poured on it.

The spiritual black mist was stunned at first, and then the mist all over its body shook violently. It suddenly realized that the golden light ball in front of it was not the food it thought it was, but a ferocious beast that it could not afford to offend.

The black mist quickly pulled out of its body and prepared to escape, but the golden ball of light seemed to recognize that the black ball of impurities in front of it was food delivered to its doorstep, which needed to be purified and then began to shine brightly, like a ray of morning light blooming in the endless universe, or like the first ray of hope seen by a miserable person.

Endless light began to slowly spread from the ball of light, and the spiritual sea shrouded in black fog was instantly covered by endless light.

The light bloomed like a spark that spread across the prairie, just like a flash in the pan when a planet in the universe was destroyed, and it also contained the endless vitality at the beginning of the birth of the planet.

Everything in the spiritual sea is visible under this light, without a single secret. Even the thick black fog cannot withstand this gentle and dazzling light.

The black ball's rapid retreat was instantly paused by the light. Before the black mist could react and shoot back, the rotating golden ball of light immediately accelerated, and the surrounding nebula also began to slowly accelerate.

The endless suction force quickly gathered the surrounding black mist. If viewed from the outside, it looked like the black mist was devouring the golden elixir, or the ball of light, with absolute advantage. The last line of defense of the spiritual sea was on the verge of being swallowed up, and the unknown ball of light of the human in front of him could not stop this transformation.

However, the result was not as expected. On the contrary, the light ball that seemed to be engulfed by the light ball was not being invaded and served as a delicious cake to the black mist. In fact, the situation was the opposite. For the light ball, the black ball filled with various impurities was the delicious food. The positions of prey and hunter were reversed. The black mist was like trying to steal the chicken but failed. The energy it had finally expanded and swallowed was soon attracted by the rapidly rotating light ball, and then the essence was absorbed.

In just a moment, the black mist was completely consumed, leaving only half of the unique spiritual black silk thread swallowed by the light ball. The remaining half even tried desperately to swim outside like a tadpole, trying to resist the strong suction.

If it could speak, it would definitely regret why it was so greedy and swallowed that strange ball of light.

In the end, the black silk thread could not withstand the gravity of the light ball, and the speed of the light ball's rotation quickly doubled.

With a swish sound, the spiritual thread was finally swallowed by the light ball and turned into energy.

Then the light ball suddenly expanded and swelled as if it had a burp, spitting out some gray mist that turned into part of the surrounding rotating nebula, strengthening the filtering of the nebula. Presumably, the next time this type of negative energy is encountered, these nebulae will be able to quickly and effectively block the filtering.

After all, it would be quite embarrassing to have the big boss of the light ball to do things all the time.

At this moment... Kato Megumi, who was unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes...

Those bright eyes sparkled with stars. As his gaze swept across, the surrounding darkness seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and shattered into pieces like a mirror, forming cracks that glowed with light and covered the entire darkness.

"I see……"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Kato Megumi's eyes slowed down, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes, which were filled with starlight, were like water with a ripple, like a clear lotus pond under the moonlight, rippling slightly with a light breeze.

Kato Megumi stood up and looked around. She saw that she put one foot on a crack as wide as a finger and stepped lightly with force.

Click... click...

Like dominoes, this crack gradually expanded due to Kato Megumi's actions, and then affected the surrounding cracks. The still fragile dark space was further damaged, as if it finally could not bear the collapse and collapsed like bubbles.

……

……

Kato Megumi opened her eyes, only to see a dim light in front of her. The flickering lights illuminated the surroundings, while the places not illuminated by the lights were pitch black, just like some dark basements. No, judging from the situation in front of her, it should be an underground hall!

Kato Megumi moved her hands and feet, and the sound of chains rattling and the cold feeling of restraint came from her wrists and ankles.

Kato Megumi looked down and found that she seemed to be tied to a pillar with runes carved on it. There was a small unknown rune group under her feet. The runes connected to the rune camera and extended outwards, seeming to cover the entire basement.

It seems to be some kind of sacrificial array?

Kato Megumi thought to herself.

Along with the sticky and fishy smell coming from her nose, she also discovered that there were countless magic circles and pillars around her, just like the one under her, with bloody chains hanging on them. It is not difficult to imagine that at one time, the pillars were also tied with looted sacrifices.

According to what Klina had heard before, all the missing orphans were probably killed here! She didn't know what the other party was trying to do.

Seeing the fresh blood on the chain, Kato Megumi frowned slightly, what a pity.

wrong!

Kato Hui was sighing secretly, and suddenly thought of something and his eyes fixed.

The scene before me seemed a little too natural, a little unexpected, yet also somewhat expected.

The missing girl, the dim basement, the familiar yet unfamiliar runes, all of these have a hint of strangeness and familiarity, and are full of a sense of incongruity.

Speaking of which, I seemed to be fighting with the unknown black in my fantasy just now, with endless power pouring in from the outside, but why when I woke up, everything in front of me seemed so natural and ordinary...

It was as if everything that just happened was just a dream...

Kato Hui felt heavy-hearted. If her nebula had not expanded, the power condensed inside had not become thicker and purer, and the speed of its operation had not increased a lot, she might have really regarded that as a nightmare.

If I hadn't hurriedly moved my consciousness into the light ball and hid most of my soul power inside, I would have been completely swallowed up by the black fog!

Although the ball of light can purify the unknown black fog, anyone whose soul power is swallowed by unknown things will feel inexplicably chilled, and Kato Megumi is no exception.

Speaking of which, my memory seems a little hazy, and I can't remember the details of the battle with the black fog. That's not right... How could those memories disappear so quickly in such a short time?

Realizing this, Kato Megumi pursed her lips and closed her eyes.

In an instant, the surrounding environment shattered into pieces and then gradually disappeared.

And Kato Megumi finally woke up from multiple illusions.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 210 Chapter The Appearance of the Instigator

"That's not right! I've used so much strength, why haven't I eaten this human yet?"

In the foggy space, a black shadow kept changing its shape. It was invisible and intangible, surrounding a human body, as if it was entangled.

This was its most satisfying sacrifice and its favorite body. It had taken a fancy to her from the moment it saw her.

That soul full of strange power deeply attracted it from that moment on, not to mention that this body was close to perfect, which was countless times better than any it had seen before.

Faintly, it also sensed some power of rules from the other party. That was a power that only powerful people or gods could control. But now it saw it in a weak human. How could the black shadow not be surprised!

So when Black Shadow saw Kato Megumi through his puppet, the legendary Lord of Loha City, he was so excited. This body was simply tailor-made for him, flawless, and the soul also possessed powerful and delicious energy. So Black Shadow immediately ordered his puppet, the Lord of Loha City, to find ways to lure the other party to where he was.

Why would the city lord secretly collect so many orphans without parents? It was naturally because of the black shadow's needs. The black shadow had no body, so it was extremely fragile and could only protect itself by absorbing energy and controlling others.

Because the black shadow itself was born by chance because the blood of the dead gods was polluted, and it was also caused by the various desires of the living beings and the various negative energies of the dead land. Therefore, it is also a kind of evil demon for the temple. Not to mention that it can control and manipulate the soul. It is an even greater enemy of the temple and is called the soul demon by the temple. Therefore, when this kind of evil demon appears, the temple basically treats it as a great enemy and kills it without mercy.

Therefore, when the soul demon woke up, it did not dare to act rashly. It only dared to control a city lord and use him to collect suitable energy and carriers that could be possessed. Only by owning its own body could it become more powerful and fearless of the temple and the hypocritical gods.

The body that the soul demon needs must be a virgin with a pure constitution and very few causes and effects around the body, so the city lord's private actions did not attract the attention of others. He only chose orphans, and his movements were very small, so he did not attract the attention of others.

Moreover, even if this kind of virgin does not meet the requirements of being a parasite, her blood and the resentment and pain born from torture are extremely delicious food for the soul demon, which can help him better hone himself and increase his strength.

However, on the one hand, there are too few bodies suitable for Black Shadow. As a soul demon that feeds on negative energy, it is difficult for it to find a body that does not reject itself. On the other hand, the soul demon itself is too picky and has never found a good body.

So when he saw Kato Megumi, whose soul was nourished by the power of faith and whose body not only had a delicious taste but also had no mark of any gods, he was so excited that he wanted to eat this delicacy immediately and use this body for himself.

He didn't know that the Kato Megumi in front of him was a visitor from another world. He only knew that this woman was the best carrier he had ever seen.

According to the soul demon's idea, the next step should be for it to eat this delicious soul, greatly increase its strength, and then merge it into this body, becoming a person who will never be discovered again, and then become more and more powerful, living openly in this world, and no longer have to be persecuted by those hypocritical gods.

This is how it should be...

However, things were somewhat different from what it expected, or rather, there were slight discrepancies.

"I have already infiltrated my power into the soul, why is there no response yet?"

The soul demon transformed into a three-inch-sized little man of black mist, which kept spinning in the air, looking very worried.

It is a very vigilant person and never fights an unprepared battle. So even if the person in front of it has not been marked by the gods and has no faith surrounding him, he still dare not use his real body to invade the other party's spiritual sea. Instead, he chooses to separate a small part from his own body, infiltrate it, and slowly wear down Kato Megumi's consciousness.

Anyway, it has neither lack of time nor patience. The long period of sealing and hiding has made it clear what the world's malice is. Facing this prestigious temple in the world, it has to be extremely careful.
