Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

What on earth is this thing that can suddenly appear next to me and talk, and has such a strong recovery ability.

Kato Megumi also noticed that some liquid was dripping from the wound of the human-shaped liquid before it recovered, and that liquid corroded the stone slabs underground into holes of various sizes, which shows how powerful it is.

Kato Megumi's expression became serious. She turned her gaze in the direction of Luther, only to see that he was still looking at her with a half-smile. The scar on his calf had long since returned to its original state. If there had not been a big hole in the torn trouser leg, Kato Megumi would have thought that her previous attack had not been successful at all and was just an illusion.

"This is not some ghost thing, this is my blood army... Saint, it is really rude of you to say that."

Luther replied with a smile.

Before Kato Megumi could say anything, she looked carefully and saw the other party snapping his fingers, and Kato Megumi was distracted.

I saw that the black liquid suddenly appeared seven or eight more times, each with a certain distance between them, forming a semicircle and slowly moving towards me.

"Take a good taste of my puppet, Your Majesty. This is a great gift from me. As a gentleman, I will not attack you by surprise. I have explained it clearly before the attack."

As the words fell, with a whoosh, drops of black liquid spurted out from the puppet's body, covering the sky like a violent storm.

"Holy Light Barrier——"

A golden light appeared in front of Kato Megumi, blocking the corrosive black liquid. However, the ground behind him was not so lucky. In just a moment, it was as if it had encountered an invisible monster and most of it was eaten.

This won't work. Judging from the current situation, we can't just defend blindly.

Kato Megumi felt a little uneasy. Looking at the seven or eight liquid puppets that were gradually surrounding her, Kato Megumi frowned.

The small fireballs have strong recovery ability, but what about the big fireballs? Can they recover after being annihilated at once?

Just do it when you want to do it. Kato Megumi held her breath, then exhaled gently, maintaining the barrier while chanting the spell.

"The spirit of the fire element, with its arrogant and wanton attitude, the flames are everywhere—"

This time, Kato Megumi did not cast the spell silently, but used words to resonate with the surrounding elements, increasing the power of the spell. Silent casting is quick and convenient, but the power is too small, while chanting spells can better resonate with the surrounding elements and increase the power. I used to think that there was not much difference between the two, but after advancing to a small stage, I realized the difference between the two.

Magic is a natural force, and there is a huge difference between forcibly mobilizing it and letting it take its natural course.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 218 Chapter The Endless Army

Although magic is not suitable for close combat, this is not a problem for Kato Megumi. As long as she speaks too fast, close combat will not be a problem. Moreover, her physical fitness is stronger than other magicians, and she can also avoid attacks in time. This is her advantage.

It is best not to get close to this strange thing made of liquid of unknown origin if possible.

Along with Kato Megumi's rapid chanting, the overly fast frequency and speaking speed, the spell turned into an incomprehensible light tune, resonating with the fire element and dancing happily.

In an instant, a huge fireball with a diameter of one meter was suspended between Kato Megumi's high-raised index finger.

The strong flames and the hot waves blew her long hair, and the dazzling firelight illuminated her bright and shining eyes. The dark corners that harbored filth were suddenly swept away by the scorching light.

"Go ahead..."

Sliding down along Kato Megumi's fingertips, the fireball containing thousands of degrees of temperature suddenly untied the layer of restraint on the surface, and following Kato Megumi's guidance, it quickly rushed towards the attacking enemy.

A whistling sound was heard, and the scorching heat spread wantonly in the air. The liquid puppets also stopped and began to shoot all the black liquid onto the surface of the fireball. However, facing such a high-temperature fireball, the liquid that had seemed invincible and highly corrosive before was instantly evaporated before it even got close to the inside.

Kato Megumi was not surprised by this. Although the surface temperature of the fireball was only a few hundred degrees, the temperature increased as it went deeper, even reaching thousands of degrees inside.

When the magic leaves his side, the temperature inside will spread violently, and in an instant the entire fireball will be extremely hot. Kato Megumi had expected such an effect.

With an unstoppable momentum, the fireball quickly streaked across like a meteor and hit a liquid puppet. Kato Megumi only saw a black mist appear, and the puppet was instantly evaporated and disappeared silently.

The huge fireball, which was not affected much, continued to fly towards the group of puppets.

Soon, the puppets realized with their limited intelligence that they could not stop the fireball in front of them with their power, so they had to disperse.

In this case, no matter how powerful the fireball is, it can only kill one or two at most, and the remaining puppets will still be safe and sound.

"Ah, this is a bit of an underestimation of Hui. A fireball is not just a fireball, right?"

After all, Kato Megumi has reached the fourth level of extraordinary magician, and she has already prepared a response to the other party's reaction.

As these words were spoken, the advancing fireballs immediately scattered in the air, interweaving and reflecting each other to form a wider giant net of flames. Under Kato Megumi's control, they wrapped around the liquid puppets.

With a flash of red light, the flames flew past like an eagle. In just a moment, the flames dissipated, the bright and brilliant fire in the basement dissipated, and the liquid puppets disappeared completely.

However, after seeing the result, Kato Megumi did not feel relaxed, but felt something was wrong all over. Her intuition told her that things were not that simple.

"Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of being the Saint. Just a big fireball has such a powerful force that it can destroy my blood puppet. You are worthy of being the Saint admired by everyone!"

"It's hard to bear to destroy a saint like this. On the contrary, she's very suitable to be my puppet."

As the sound echoed in the basement, Luther clapped his hands lightly in appreciation, but then he changed the subject.

"But do you think these are all? Just seven or eight puppets cannot be considered a large army..."

Facing Luther's words, Kato Hui felt a little uneasy, but she hadn't doubted anything yet. The scene in front of her subconsciously made her pupils dilate slightly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

As soon as Luther finished speaking, rows of black puppets suddenly appeared in front of Kato Hui. At first glance, there were more than a hundred of them.

"I wonder if the Saint is satisfied with the number this time?"

Luther said gloatingly, watching the puppet army spraying corrosive liquid at Kato Megumi again while advancing.

"Holy Light Barrier——"

Another barrier magic.

What's wrong with this guy? Why can't I feel the flow of energy at all? What exactly is this thing? Why can he summon it again and again?

Kato Megumi maintained the barrier as these thoughts flashed through her mind.

However, the current situation did not allow her time to think carefully, so she had no choice but to cast the previous fire magic again.

Let’s eliminate it first!

Since she could destroy it once, she could certainly destroy it a second time.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi no longer hesitated and chanted again.

"The spirit of the fire element, with its arrogant and wanton attitude, the flames are everywhere—"

A huge fireball that was almost the same as the previous one formed again, and then under Kato Megumi's control it turned into a large net, and began to surround the black army one by one like a fishing net catching fish.

Without exception, in the face of the high-temperature flames, these things had no power to fight back and were quickly burned and evaporated one by one. When the last puppet dissipated, the power of the magic had dissipated and finally disappeared. Unlike the first time when it was actively dissipated, this time the magic dissipated because of the exhaustion of power. This also shows that the number this time has really reached the limit of the fireball technique.

"Do you think this is the end? I told you, these are not a large army!"

Luther narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and waved, and a group of black puppets appeared out of thin air on the field that had just been cleared.

So things seemed to have turned into a cycle. As soon as the puppets came out, they were swept away by Kato Megumi's fire. However, when the puppets were destroyed, another group of puppets appeared.

Things seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle. Even Kato Megumi was a little confused. Since the other party could summon so many troops, why didn't they summon them all at once? Why did they have to summon them out in batches? Was it just to play a trick on him?

I don't know what these things are. The only thing I know is that these puppets are human-shaped, made up of extremely corrosive black liquid. They have no eyes or mouths, and black liquid is constantly flowing on their surface, occasionally falling to the ground, just like human-shaped candles made of wax under high temperature, their surfaces constantly melting.

But when such things are summoned, there is no energy fluctuation at all, as if these things appear out of thin air. This is simply too strange.

Even if she had the ability to destroy them, there would always be a point in time when her magic power would be exhausted due to the endless number of them, and she would eventually be corrupted by them.

Biting her lip, Kato Megumi once again cast fire magic. She continued to cast magic, and even her strong body could not bear the burden.

It was like a slow long-distance race versus a fast short-distance race. Even though she now had some magic power to spare, her body could no longer withstand the frequent running.

Suddenly, Kato Hui glanced at Luther behind the puppet army, and the other party was still looking at him with a smile.

No, something is very wrong!

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 219 Chapter Kato Megumi's Speculation

No matter what kind of attack it is, it is essentially energy. After all, attack is actually the aggregation of energy, the source, the driving force, and the foundation.

This is true for magic and divine arts. Any casting action and spell cast will undoubtedly cause energy fluctuations, which can be big or small, but will never be absent.

It is like a basin of clear water. When an object falls into the water, the surrounding water will change accordingly, either breaking and surging or overflowing from the basin.

The same principle applies to both. The elements throughout the world will not remain unchanged because of the appearance of spells. Just like the fire spell I just cast, when I cast the spell, the chant will not only gather the surrounding fire elements, but also lead to the activity of other surrounding elements.

However, the opponent's summoning was not like that. Whether it was the puppets that appeared out of thin air or the indifferent elements around them, Kato Megumi felt a serious sense of disharmony. As for the possibility that the opponent was so powerful that his every move could not affect the surroundings, Kato Megumi did not even think about it. If there was such a possibility, she would be killed instantly.

Besides, that kind of existence is already beyond the ordinary level, and even if the witch lady comes, she may not be able to defeat it.

Of course, this does not mean that Miss Witch is weak. On the contrary, according to Kato Megumi's guess, Miss Witch's strength may be comparable to that of the gods here.

However, strength is strength. Even if it is strong, it cannot overcome the distance between the worlds, as well as the repulsion and contradiction brought by the rules of different worlds. Even if it is a witch lady, she can only exert a very small part of her own energy when she comes to this world. In addition, the suppression of this world, although her strength can be fearless of anyone in the world, it is not so easy to deal with the extraordinary realm above the extraordinary.

Therefore, this guy is definitely not at the transcendent level. If I think about it carefully, what have I missed?

Kato Megumi struggled to support the barrier while falling into deep thought.

She frequently used magic and her forehead was covered with fine sweat. Her head was hot. At this critical moment, as if she was coerced by an external force, her thinking became faster and faster, and even her five senses were enhanced, as if she had a temporary buff that improved her attributes.

Behind-the-scenes plotting, soul demons, illusions, finger snaps, panic, summoning without energy fluctuations...

Suddenly, Kato Megumi seemed to understand something.

From the very beginning, the other party wanted to get the black fog from me, but why would he want the black fog unless it was beneficial to him.

But the black fog is good at creating illusions and misleading others, so how can it be beneficial to him?

Then the result is self-evident. The person in front of him is also cultivating some kind of illusion-like ability, which may be mental control, or confusion, or the ability to turn the five senses upside down or disrupt the sense of space.

It is very likely that the other party is good at this ability, but this ability has reached a bottleneck and cannot be improved. Therefore, because of this, the other party needs external help and needs an energy body that is also good at the same field to improve his own ability.

You must know that although the black fog is a soul demon, it is also a kind of energy body and can be swallowed or controlled.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi thought of the goblins in the dungeon that were controlled at the beginning; you know, goblins are a very xenophobic race, with low intelligence and clear class divisions.

Above ordinary goblins are big goblins, and above big goblins are wolf rider goblins, elite goblins, and goblin shamans. Normally, these three form a medium-sized goblin nest. Above them are goblin commanders and the rarely seen goblin kings.

Just imagine, how could the goblins, who have clear class divisions and are intolerant of outsiders, obey the orders of an outsider?

Would a goblin listen to his food? It was absolutely impossible, and yet it actually happened?

Then there is only one possibility, that the other party used some ability to control those goblins, making those goblins regard themselves as one of them, and then command them.

Thinking about it this way, things become somewhat clear.

The godhead was probably the external force that the other party had found! However, the godhead was not so easy to devour, so it controlled the goblins to capture many girls.

Of course, just in case, the other party also added double insurance for himself, which is the soul demon that he has now devoured.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that she would destroy the opponent's goals again and again. Even with double insurance, it was still interrupted by herself by chance.

What's more, he got the benefit of everything the other party wanted to devour. Is this the power of someone who can control fate? Is this why Miss Witch hinted that he could travel through the ruins map?

Even if you don't know the details, you can probably infer the general situation or result through this.

I thought I would get something beneficial to myself at the end of the ruins, but who would have thought that what is important is not the end but the process?

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi shuddered. Since Miss Witch could deduce it, could the Earth Mother Goddess also do the same?

But in a flash, she denied this conjecture. She and Miss Witch were connected by cause and effect, so it was natural to infer the general idea. After all, she had made a contract with her and even came to this world because of her. This was understandable and should be natural. However, she was cut off from the cause and effect of this world and was incompatible with it. How could the gods infer her own destiny out of thin air?

If she could infer it, why would the other party give her a so-called system to monitor her? If the other party could really divine a part of the river of fate, Miss Witch should have noticed it. After all, the cause and effect of the two of them were implicated together, and it was impossible for the other party not to know it.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi sighed and stopped thinking about it.

These are not important for the time being. If you want to know, just ask Miss Witch when the time comes. No matter whether she tells you or not, she will never harm you. But the current situation is different. If you don’t survive, there is no way to talk about the future.

Looking at the puppet army that was attacking him continuously, he looked at the surrounding ground that was mostly corroded.

Kato Megumi pursed her lips. This might be an illusion but it couldn't be an illusion. However, what the reality was like, perhaps she would be able to know it if she could let her confused mental power break through the shackles.

Thinking of the illusion that was broken by the nebula before, Kato Megumi probed his mental power into the "Golden Pill" and drew out a trace of nebula power.

As if it realized that the power it had swallowed was about to be taken out, the "golden elixir" in the nebula pulled the extracted power with some dissatisfaction, stopped its own rotation, and became a little bigger as if it puffed up its little mouth.

Just like a stingy child, he doesn't want to give up his things at all.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 220 Chapter The Nebula of the Birth of Spirituality

Kato Megumi was stunned by this. She didn't expect that the "Golden Elixir" in the nebula would do such a petty thing.

Kato Megumi tried to add some more mental power to increase the strength, hooked the half of the power that was taken out, and at the same time conveyed her intention to take it.

However, he did not expect that the increased force would not make things go as he wished. Instead, it caused the "Golden Pill" to reverse, and the drawn out force went back into the Golden Pill, and his mental force was pulled into it unexpectedly.

With a swish sound, the senses around me suddenly changed, and the whole soul consciousness seemed to be immersed in sweet and refreshing spring water. The surroundings were misty, and an indescribable comfort washed over my body.

It is like the first rays of morning light, the first breeze of autumn and winter, waking up from a sweet and natural sleep, and completely relaxing and comfortable after a rest. This feeling is simply addictive and cannot be extricated.

Soon, Kato Megumi felt a sudden realization. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like just a moment. In a flash, the feeling of immersion suddenly disappeared, and the perception of her entire mental power returned to her sight again.

It turned out that the "golden elixir" had resumed its rotation, and spiritual power was also spit out by it. The mass of the golden elixir itself, visible to the naked eye, had shrunk slightly. It was about the size of a fist before, but now it was only the size of a goose egg.
