Chapter 322 - Episode Twenty-Two - The Immortal Monk Rathboutt (3)(Side: Rathboutt)

The triangular pyramid and cube made of phantom copper Orechalcos manipulated by Altamir simultaneously gain altitude, rotate, and rush toward Rathboutt.

Rathboutt leaps to the back of the room to evacuate, and turns toward the entrance.

Lagging behind his movement, the pyramid falls one step in front of him. It easily scraped the floor and made a large hole.

Surprised by the power of the pyramid, Rathboutt’s movements were interrupted for a moment.

“I won’t let you escape!”

The blue needles extending from the spinning cube attacked Rathboutt and mercilessly gouged out his abdomen.

The robe is torn and a crimson line is drawn.

“Mugh!”

As it was, Rathboutt’s huge body was repelled by the momentum of the rotation, and he retreated greatly.

Rathboutt stopped with his hand on the wall.

“…… It’s heavy and fast at the same time! As expected of the witch Altamir’s special weapon ……!”

The cube continues to chase Rathboutt, trying to crush him between the wall and its own mass.

“I told you I’m not gentle! It doesn’t matter how tough you are, you’ll die if your entire body is cut down!\'”

Altamir shouted, and the cube’s rotation speed increased.

It makes contact with Rathboutt and pushes it straight into the wall.

“Gubuuoooo!”

A roar sounded, and powder from the wall flew.

“Tha-, Thank you very much, Altamir-sa……”

“I’m the Wandering Alchemist Alta right now.”

Altamir interrupted Mea’s words of thanks.

Even when no one else was around, she had to be thorough, or else Mea’s carelessness would easily expose her in front of others.

“Ah, yes …… I’m sorry. Well, Alta-san, um, did you kill him ……?”

“…… I failed to kill him, he’s more troublesome than I thought. I should have felt him being crushed, but the shape is still there. I don’t know what kind of trick he’s playing, but …… he’s still hiding a hand against me, this guy. He’s a pretty good player, to be honest. I didn’t know there is such a man in the Riveras Kingdom.”

“What ……?”

The rotation speed of the cube suddenly began to slow down.

From the depths of the phantom copper Orechalcos, the sound of sturdy metals grinding against each other could be heard.

Eventually, the rotation of the cube came to a complete standstill.

The cube was suddenly flung with great force towards Altamir, who was standing in front of the door.

Altamir floated in the air and dexterously landed on top of the cube that had spun and then bounced back to her.

In front of the broken wall, Rathboutt was standing with his arms outstretched.

Both of his arms had turned black, and there was a golden magic formula floating in the air.

“Looks like I’ve been forced to use the “Cursed Body”. I was planning to save it until I bumped into Abel and the others …… Well, what I’m after is within my sight, so …… This Rathboutt will take you on seriously.”

“W-What’s that creepy …… thing?”

Mea asks to Altamir.

“You’ve seen it before, haven’t you ……? The secret technique of the Maharaun Kingdom is called “Gouma”. I’ve heard about it from Abel. It’s similar to “Gouma” which uses physical enhancement through magic. The only difference is that it uses a magic formula to assist the spirit in its effects, as opposed to the pure magic of “Gouma”. The effect is great, and it doesn’t require as much training as “Gouma”, but it does seem to put a lot of strain on the body. “Cursed Body”, that’s a very honest name that shows in the body. “

Altamir explains the black arm of Rathboutt with some speculation.

The improvement of physical ability through magic power, if you wear it, you can gain the same power as a dragon in human body.

However, due to the difficulty of controlling it, it has become a secret among some people, and is passed down in slightly different ways depending on the region.

In the Maharaun Kingdom, it is called “Gouma,” and in the peculiar faction of the Riveras Kingdom, it is called “Cursed Body”.

Within the Marren Tribe, It’s called “wooden stick” that can increase physical strength through the use of an Ortem, and Abel, who once tried to gain muscle strength for fun, had his hands on it and fell asleep for over a week with muscle pains all over his body.

“The spell will raise your physical strength and strengthen your body like metal infused with magic, but …… many of you will be too weak to handle the repercussions of this power …… However! I, who have undergone many other rituals and possessed a vast amount of life force, can control it at will like this! Alright, let’s start the witch hunt!”

Altamir turned her attention to Mea.

“You should run, Mea. I’ll make an opening for you at some point. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can fight while protecting you from here on out.”

“Me-, Mea will be fine! Alta-san, please hurry and run away!”

“What are you talking about? It’s no use for you to stay here! I’ll do it! Abel will kill me if he finds out that I abandoned you and ran away!”

Altamir glared at Mea, then said, and flew into the air.

“Come on, ugly man!”

The pyramid and the cube approached Rathboutt with irregular movements.

Black light leaks out of Rathboutt’s body, blackening his skin from his arms to his shoulders and part of his face, revealing a golden magic formula.

The expressionless monstrous face smirks.

A huge body flies through the air.

A golden light leaks from Rathboutt’s foot, and he kicks the cube of Altamir, followed by its reaction to the pyramid, and kicks it away in agitation, landing on the ground.

The kicked-off cube plunged to the floor.

“Wha- …… No way, I got overpowered!?”

Rathboutt looked up from his astonishment at Altamir and ran to Mea.

“You intend on taking hostages!”

“Of course I am! There’s no reason not to!”

“You …… Carry!”

Altamir quickly teleported and leapt in front of Rathboutt.

At the same time, she used the unique power of her spirit body to deploy a wall of fire without chanting.

“Just that …… Why can’t you understand that it’s useless to me!”

Rathboutt bursts through the wall of flames, scooping up the cursed monkey staff in his hand.

The skull of the little monkey at the tip of the stick pushed into Altamir’s abdomen and sent her flying into the air.

“Cough!”

“You think it’s over? Water, penetrate!”

A magic circle of light appeared at the tip of the cursed monkey staff that lifted Altamir.

Five blades of water leapt toward the ceiling, piercing her back.
