Chapter 99
Shadow and
Darkness
Translator : PolterGlast
I approached, still
melted into the shadows.
I walked within the
magic's attack range, but the wyverns didn't seem to notice me.
Thanks to the
increased proficiency of my dark magic, my stealth was quite high at this
point.
With this, I might be
able to sneak into the royal castle and exchange information with
Mitsukawa-kun.
...Wait, this isn't
the time to be thinking about that.
"Shadow
Arts."
I took out swords from
the item box and coated each of them with dark magic.
Shadow Arts was a
spell that allowed me to freely manipulate weapons by imbuing them with dark
attribute magic.
It was one of the dark
magic spells learned at high levels, but it had a slightly peaky nature because
its power varied greatly depending on the quality of the weapon.
The katana and
straight sword I received from the Revenants were imbued with dark attributes,
and the blades were dyed black.
This completed the
preparations.
Weapons obtained from
the [Knight's Holy Remains] were used by the undead, so they had excellent
compatibility with dark magic.
More than ten swords
left my hand and headed towards the wyverns.
At the same time, I
activated the magic I had prepared.
"Dark
Night."
The surroundings of
the wyverns, who were already in the darkness of the night, were dyed even
deeper in darkness.
Dark Night, a level 9
dark magic spell, was simply a spell that created a dome-shaped jet-black
darkness.
However, the abyss of
darkness covered everything.
The darkness created
by Dark Night erased everything.
No matter how bright
the light was, it wouldn't leak out, and it would push everything like sound
and impact into the curtain of darkness (by the way, if you use too powerful
light magic, the darkness will be dispelled, so you need to be careful).
What happened when I
used this was...
"Shadow
Arts."
"GYAAAAAAA!!"
The swords that flew
freely in the air sliced the wyverns.
The wyverns let out
cries of agony, but of course, those cries didn't leak out.
I also used Jaunt to
get into the wyvern's chest--and then, flash.
The white sword used
by the Knight of the Holy Remains easily cut off the head of one of the
wyverns.
"GOOOOO!!"
A nearby wyvern
noticed my presence and puffed up its throat.
It was a preparatory
movement for a breath attack, a special attack of the dragon species that
combined flammable mana stored in a place called a fire sac and flames
generated by mana itself.
I might as well get
hit once to see how powerful it is... no, that's right.
Since I have the
leeway, I might as well try "that" out.
"Holy Demonic
Reversal."
I decided to use the
gift [Holy Demonic Reversal] that I obtained by defeating the Knight of the
Holy Remains.
Its effect was to
reverse the attributes of holy and demonic, that is, light magic and dark
magic.
While using this gift,
the light attribute became the dark attribute.
Well, it would be easy
to understand if you saw it.
"Reflection."
Reflection, a light
magic spell that reflected magic.
The transparent
barrier-like magic, which originally had a faint light, was now completely dyed
black.
"GYAAAAAA!?"
The flames released by
the wyvern hit Reflection.
The breath, which had
become black flames with dark attributes, was reflected and flew towards the
wyvern who released it.
Well, in this way, light
magic changed to dark magic, and the effect changed slightly.
However, this gift had
a fatal flaw.
--Recovery for humans
only worked with light magic, so while using this Holy Demonic Reversal, even
if I used recovery magic, the wounds wouldn't heal.
As a result of trying
it with Miku, it seemed to be quite useful in PvP because it could completely
prevent the opponent's light magic healing (by the way, while practicing
repeatedly, Miku gained a dark magic skill. It was the moment when a dark saint
was born).
Also, perhaps because
the gift itself had a low level, Holy Demonic Reversal didn't activate with
high-level magic like Judgment Ray and Aegis.
The [Saintess] gift
didn't have a level, but [Home] and [Holy Demonic Reversal] had levels... this
was another mystery that hadn't been solved yet.
While thinking about
that and fighting with the reversed light magic, the wyvern subjugation ended
in no time.
After collecting all
the corpses in the item box, I used earth magic to dig up the ground and hide
the evidence such as blood stains.
I used [Home] as it
was and returned to Vero with a straight face.
And two days later, I
received a request from the guild receptionist, who had a strange look on her
face, that I could complete while crossing the border, and we set off into the
Holy Elmore Empire--.
