Chapter 64 : You Talk Too Much
The dark mana, gathered in front of Mezaire’s fingers, went through the process of a chanted spell and transformed into magic.
Zzzing!
A flash of light flickered in the air as a solid line.
“The old woman has a strange personality.”
“As I get older, every day is precious, so I don’t have time to be leisurely.”
W̌е̌ b̈ n̂о̃ve l̄ Eńũ_m à
It was a feint that was as good as a greeting.
And the seasoned dark mage’s feint was even threatening.

Sizzle!
The wall in the path of the flash of light was melting as if it had come into contact with a huge heat source.
The shimmering haze that distorted the scenery, the stench of the molten wall material, and the residual heat that scorched the skin.
[The World Tree trembles its stem!]
Ėnû m а̀
I could guess the result if I hadn’t been able to avoid it.
Instant death.
“I heard you use a strange ability. Do you handle plants?”
Zzzing! Sizzle!

The wooden stems that had been secretly poured onto the floor had already melted in the heat rays that had poured down like rain from behind Mezaire.
“It’s a pity. This old woman is well-versed in handling fire, even before dark magic.”
Еn û m̊.а̂.і́ ḋ
It wasn't just her fingers that were the medium.
Even in the air, several clumps of dark mana were preparing to shoot out heat rays.
“If you don’t resist, I’ll kill you gently. It’s too much of a pity to damage your skin with fire.”
“You talk so easily with that open mouth.”
Plants were weak to fire.
It was a kind of antagonistic relationship.

It wasn't that there was no way to overcome this.
Especially if the opponent was a dark mage.
“I guess you don’t remember that I said I could handle it on my own.”
Crackle!
“...!”
Mezaire, startled by the sudden electric shock that erupted from her surroundings, dodged.
Ẽnù m̌ӑ
Her whole body turned into a purple liquid and then, after moving back a hand’s breadth, she returned to her original form.
“How did you… my magic…!”

Sizzle!
I could see it.
The dark mana that was burning in the air like a will-o’-the-wisp as a spark occurred.
It was a sight where the spirits were tearing apart and burning the dark mana as if they were dealing with their mortal enemies.
W.ēb̆ n̂ о̌v е̌ľ Е̃ n̄ ů m̌ а̌
Even to the eyes of the dark mage, Mezaire, the sight of the dark mana, the driving force of her magic, being incinerated must have been visible.
The old woman’s pupils were shaking at the manifestation of a miracle she had never seen before in her life.
“It’s a pity. I could have finished it quickly.”
If she had struggled to control her mana, she would have been burned by the spirit’s flame herself.

Perhaps because she was a dark mage who had experienced many real battles, she did not blindly believe in her own magic and quickly showed her wit.
“It’s a strange magic.”
Е̇ ǹ ú m ӓ .і̃ d
I put aside my disappointment and analyzed it.
Liquefaction.
Dark magic, a magic that was more like a study that explored strangeness and distortion rather than the truth of the world.
“A physical blow will be difficult.”
That was what a liquid was like.
Just as there was a saying that you can’t cut water with a knife, a blow did not work on a liquid.

Although it seemed simple, it was a method that was hard to find a flaw in.
That must have been the foundation that the seasoned dark mage had used to survive for a long time.
“...Hehe. Indeed, I don’t know what kind of trick it is, but your confidence is sky-high.”
Mezaire quickly recovered from her bewildered feelings.
The leisure she had had, as if she were playing with her grandchild, was also gone.
A murderous intent flickered in her cloudy pupils, which had lost their luster.
Ӗñ ũm a . і̃ d̃
“I’ll deal with you properly.”
Pshhh!

The dark mage’s body melted and then covered the room.
***
Mezaire’s body, which had turned into a liquid, split into dozens of tentacles and poured down on Allen.
Kagagak!
Еn̈ uḿа̀ .i d̄
Even though it was a liquid, its strength surpassed that of metal.
The wall that the tentacles hit was broken, and the steel pillars collapsed.
The overturned and crushed floor raised a cloud of dust and obscured the view.
In the midst of that, Allen was running wild like a flying squirrel.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He touched the ceiling as if he were hanging in the air and zigzagged between the wall and the floor.
Although he didn't look like a body that was good at hand-to-hand combat, his movements were swift.
Е nu m̊ а .і d́
Bang!
Although he shot a gun in the middle, it was of course useless.
The body that had turned into a liquid was not pierced by the bullet, but rather absorbed it.
[How long do you think you can avoid it?]
Mezaire’s voice seemed to shake the space itself, instead of her molten vocal cords.
[If you’re going to run away like that, I’ll destroy this building.]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Although her gaze had been momentarily distracted by the brat in front of her, Mezaire was clearly aware of her own purpose.
The collapse of the negotiation, the annihilation of the negotiation team.
If Allen was just busy running away, Mezaire could complete the request without being disturbed.
It was when she was about to swing the clumped tentacles.
Crunch!
[...!]
Ӗ.n̊ůṁа̀
Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain as if her internal organs were being gouged with a knife, and a paralysis of her body.
[Ugh!]

Mezaire cut off her tentacles with her own will, just as a lizard cuts off its tail.
Creak! Creak!
The tentacles that were writhing on the floor were being bound and compressed by something that had grown from within.
Although it was strange that a plant had grown inside the tentacles, it was bizarre that the plant was compressing the tentacles, which had the strength to shatter even metal.
Ẇ.е b̆ n о v el E̊.n um̊ ӑ
[What, have you done?]
Mezaire even stuttered at the dizzying pain she had felt for the first time in a long time.
From the part that imitated a face, a liquid, instead of tears, was dripping down.
“You talk too much while fighting.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Allen answered coldly and then fired his gun again.
The enlarged body could not avoid the attack so nimbly.
Ẇ е̃ b̃nǒ v̄е.l .Е̊ń u mа́
A disadvantage that she had not paid attention to because the attack would not work anyway.
That was now acting as a shackle.
[Aaargh!]
Vines grew from the places where the bullets had hit.
She couldn't help but scream at the tingling pain that was ringing here and there, as if her internal organs were being eaten by insects.
[A bullet! It’s a magic that makes plants grow using a bullet as a medium!]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Only after cutting off a quarter of her body did Mezaire realize the opponent’s trick.
She had wondered why he kept trying an attack that didn't even work.
He was stabbing a dagger under the guise of foolishness.
“Something like that.”
Although it wasn't magic.
Allen’s mumble came to Mezaire as a mockery.
E ńüm̊a .ǐ d̄
Whether it was magic or not, it was a strange trick that dug into her weakness.
Considering the bizarre method that had burned her dark mana, he was an opponent she couldn't be careless with.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
However, it was still an overstatement to say that Mezaire was in a life-or-death situation.
[Hehehe.]
Mezaire’s body, which had once filled the space, had shrunk to about 2 meters.
A form that was closer to a human form than a liquid.
W ӗb̆n̂ о̃ ṽе l̂ Е ṅumȧ
Even in that state, the word ‘defeat’ did not exist in Mezaire’s mind.
[Amazing. Indeed, with a career of less than a year, you have the skill to be called for a request from the city government, young man.]
Bang!
Allen did not react at all to Mezaire’s soliloquy-like words.

He mechanically shot his gun and cut off the dark mage’s body.
He was a model of a cool-headed contract killer who did not let his guard down and risked his life to complete the request.
È_ǹ ǔm̃ а
[Hehe, but the young man’s skill does not reach the Drexier I had assumed.]
A war mercenary who had received a medal from the city government.
The dark mage, who had lived for a long time, knew their monster-like skills better than anyone else.
No matter how old and fallen Drexier was, it was the same.
Therefore, the minimum standard for the success of the great event that Mezaire had set was to surpass Drexier.
The brat in front of her, who was just using a strange trick, was just a small stumbling block that would pass by.

[No matter how much the young man struggles, the great event will succeed.]
Mezaire did not dwell on her severed body.
Because it was just a consumable that would soon be regenerated anyway.
[The Corrupted of the great plain. The experimental subjects I had abandoned in the past will become the raw material for my immortality.]
For a dark mage, a corpse was another catalyst.
There was even a school of dark magic that dealt with corpses, called necromancy.
W е̂b ñ о̆v̌ѐ ľ E nu ḿ а̃
This was a spell that applied it.
A huge magic that spanned the great plain, completed by drawing a magic circle with the corpses of the Corrupted.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Bulge! Bulge!
Mezaire’s body, which had shrunk like a child’s, began to swell.
The yin and evil spirits of the dead Corrupted were converted into dark mana and absorbed into the dark mage who stood in the center of the magic circle.
[As long as the Corrupted exist in the great plain, their deaths will make me immortal.]
En̂ù m а̀
In the blink of an eye, Mezaire’s body had recovered its original size.
Rumble!
It didn't end there.
It was getting bigger and bigger.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The ceiling collapsed and the building shook at the size that was reminiscent of a giant.
[The Corrupted will endlessly rush in, and the more I kill them, the stronger I will become. It is a checkmate that even a war mercenary will not be able to find a way out of.]
Eñ ū m а̀
That was the full picture of the great event that Mezaire had set up.
The Corrupted would rush in to kill the negotiation team, and the dark mage would become immortal through their deaths.
A fallen war mercenary, unlike in his prime, would not be able to handle this.
Not to mention the brat in front of her.
[...?”]
It was then that she felt a strange sense of unease.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The dark mage’s vision, which had been blurred by a sense of omnipotence, regained its clarity for a moment.
The handsome contract killer, who should have been in despair, was still staring at her with clear eyes.
“I thought I told you you talk too much.”
Allen did not move, as if he were overwhelmed.
Nevertheless, Mezaire heard the warning of her instincts.
[...…]
Ẁе̂ b n̈о̊v êl Ẽǹ_üm а
Her breathing became ragged and her whole body felt heavy.
It was as if something invisible was trying to suffocate her.

Just like when her dark magic had been neutralized in the first clash.
It was the same ominous feeling as then.
“Isn’t it too long for a last word?”
Whoosh!
W ѐ bn̈о̌v èl̆ Е̊n̆ um̌а̌_
The dark mage, who had reached a higher level with her endlessly replenished mana, could finally witness it.
Vroom!
A mysterious cloud of light that filled the air.
The bright things, like fireflies, were dancing in the air, drawing irregular trajectories as if the air were a canvas, as if each one had a life.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The world was full of bright light.
It was a dreamlike sight that made one lose one’s mind without realizing it.
W̄ ӗb nоv̌e̊l̈ Ӗ ǹu m̃à_
Whoosh!
In the center of it was Allen.
In a space without a single breeze, his hair was fluttering and his flapping clothes exposed the plant that had grown from his forearm.
The dark mage, who had reached a high-dimensional horizon, felt the divinity contained in it.
The cloud of light that was emanating from the stem was a fragment of it.
Just by looking at it, she felt her own impiety.

On the other hand, her heart shrank as if she had faced a natural enemy.
Sizzle!
Mezaire felt the dark mana that had been endlessly replenishing her entire body being cut off.
No, it was all burning.
The structure of the magic was being dismantled one by one, and it was collapsing in vain like a building swept away by a disaster.
‘...!’
Е̄ n̊ u̇ ma.ǐ d̊
Not even a scream came out.
The antagonistic energy that incinerated the source of the dark mage.

The dark mage thus turned to ashes in the hot heat.

“...Then, with this, we will conclude the peace treaty between Gellerg City and Pelsier.”
The negotiation began in the morning, passed lunch, and continued until late in the evening.
Wе̄ b̌ ñо v.е̊ l Е n u̇ m а̄
The negotiation process was more sluggish and dirty than imagined.
Although the city government had said to meet Pelsier’s demands as much as possible to prevent war, if they had really done so, the opponent’s demands were so excessive that it would have been more humiliating than war.
Councilor Giselle had even lost his temper and shouted in the middle.
What had been helpful then was Claire, whom he had tried to exclude from the negotiation.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She had politely added her words to the negotiation process, and without being vulgar, she had pleased the Pelsier negotiation team and at the same time skillfully led the atmosphere.
It was also she who had reached an agreement on the excessive conditions that the Pelsier negotiation team was not willing to compromise on.
W̃ е̄b̄ n_о v̂ ӗ l Е̊ n ū ma
...Although it was just that she had reminded them that it was okay since Sylvester would bear the burden anyway.
Although it was different from the promise, it could be said that she had done her part as a member of the negotiation team.
“It was a satisfactory deal.”
Kalcorum, the representative of the Pelsier negotiation team, grinned as he signed the treaty.
A deal.
Giselle’s eyebrows twitched.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a vulgar word that belittled the negotiation for peace between cities.
It wasn't even an accurate expression.
Strictly speaking, it was closer to extortion.
Giselle endured the humiliation with superhuman patience.
Even though he had signed the treaty, the negotiation was not over yet.
There was no need to get into an emotional fight.
Ĕň û ṁӓ
“I hope you, Pelsier, will definitely keep the treaty.”
“Of course. We are not a band of thieves.”

It was an unconvincing statement.
Giselle gritted his teeth inwardly as he shook hands.
“I’ll show you the way.”
The aides, who had finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief after overcoming the tense atmosphere, opened the firmly locked door.
Ŵе̊ ḃnö v̆ е l̇ Ѐ ňum̈ ă
And the scene that was revealed.
“……”
The smell of blood and rotting corpses vibrated.
Under the faint lanterns that had been temporarily installed, the corpses of the Corrupted filled the great plain.

Although he had thought that something had gone wrong outside, he had focused on the negotiation because it didn't seem like a big problem.
He had never thought it would be this much.
W̆ е b n ӧvе ľ Е n̆ u m̈ā
Claire said to the dazed Giselle, “It was a good thing we were prepared.”
“Indeed?”
“I told you I would increase my personal escort. I had heard something. I made sure to select them so that the councilor could focus on the negotiation.”
Was there such a meaning hidden in that?
Giselle finally admitted it.
“...You’ve worked hard.”

“You’re welcome.”
“First, I’ll see off the Pelsier negotiation team, and then I’ll have to hear the detailed story.”
It was a scale of damage as if a war had broken out.
Giselle was displeased with the enemy’s trick, which had not made an exception even on the day of the negotiation, but on the other hand, he was relieved that the negotiation had been successfully concluded.
Although it was a request, he felt pleased with the mercenary group and the contract killers who had perfectly achieved their purpose.
The same went for Claire, who had lent a hand in this.

“...What you said was true.”
“Hmm?”

“No, I was wondering if it would be okay if I helped with the cleanup.”
“I’d appreciate it.”
It was a success.
Councilor Giselle had a clear attitude of favor, amidst his stiffness.
Е́n̂ ŭm ӓ
Claire, who had achieved everything she had aimed for, grabbed her trembling wrist to hide her joy.
It was just as the barbarian from Pelsier had said.
It was a satisfactory deal.
