Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 099. Knight Commander’s son

“You said you came on Cerberus?”

Nesty opened her eyes and asked again.

Released from the possession, she had just regained her senses and had just listened to Rast’s story.

“yes. Look over there.”

Raast nodded and pointed to the lab entrance.

Through the wide open door, I saw a monster the size of a house I had seen before.

“Heh! Heck!”

Cerberus waggled his tail excitedly as people’s attention turned to me.

“… … .”

Nesty looked at it and put on a tired expression.

Cerberus is a high-ranking monster that is difficult to tame even by demons with titles.

They’d rather die than obey someone, so to say they rode it all the way to Hadman Castle.

I couldn’t believe it.

“What if you don’t believe me? that it is true.”

The brown-haired kid sitting next to him said it didn’t matter.

Gaos had already adjusted to his new body and was working hard on adorning himself.

The first time I possessed it, I was soaked in the storage solution and was not a horse, but after drying my body with magic and putting on clothes, I was able to take care of it.

“Are you really Gaos?”

Nesty watched for a moment as Gaos dried his hair, then pressed his face in front of his eyes.

“That’s right, wipe your face. I hate to see it.”

Gaos growled, showing his teeth.

When he was still, his face that didn’t lose any breast meat just looked cute, but when he got angry, it was quite ferocious.

“I’m just nervous.”

Nesty pursed her lips and stepped back.

In his new body, he felt a much stronger demonic energy than when possessed by a naga or a lizard.

It was said that it was a homunculus created after hundreds of years of research, and it seemed to have value as a possessed body.

“Who do you dress up for so long to impress? That’s enough, let’s go now.”

This time, Raast brushed him off.

It was a good thing to possess another body before the Branch of the Water of Life lost its luster, but that didn’t mean it was okay to take it easy.

Aaron and his party should have arrived at their destination by now, so they had to complete their mission before the undead army left the castle and returned.

“It’s over, don’t bother.”

Gaos brushed up his dry hair and approached Cerberus, who was sitting in front of the door.

“Hey. Keep your head down. It is too high to climb.”

“… … sniff!”

Cerberus stared blankly at the strange kid the size of his ankle, then snorted at him.

“Ugh!”

Gaos, who tried to catch the mood by climbing on Cerberus’s head, rolled to the corner of the laboratory like a fallen leaf swept away by a typhoon.

* * *

“There is nothing.”

After a while, the road to the main building.

Nesty looked around and said.

Even after visiting Gaos’ workshop, the castle was still quiet.

The gargoyles guarding the road sometimes flinched when they saw Nesty, but luckily they didn’t attack because they were maximally capturing their holy power.

“It is too early to be relieved. There must be something in the main building.”

Gaos murmured above Cerberus’s head.

Azazel is not such a lax person.

No matter how eager he was to conquer the Shadow Forest, he would have left enough troops to protect the altar.

“It’s here.”

Eventually, when we reached the large door leading to the main building, Gaos landed on the floor.

“You wait here. Being pampered ends here.”

After saying that to Cerberus, he approached the party.

“Ki-ing… … .”

Cerberus lowered his head as if he was sorry, and sat down with his buttocks pressed against the seat.

He noticed that the atmosphere of the party was unusual to ignore and follow.

“Saint. article. Stay alert. From now on, you are brainwashed by me.”

“okay.”

“I get it.”

Nesti focused her whole mind to capture the divine power.

According to the original plan, her body should have been occupied by Gaos, but the possession was released due to lack of time, so the two had no choice but to work together.

“It begins.”

Gaos looked at Nesti and Raast, then pointed to the door and muttered something incomprehensible.

It was a spell to unlock the protective magic and lock on the door.

Clap! cooong-

Soon, a heavy metal sound was heard from inside, and the iron door, which had been firmly closed, slid open.

“… … .”

The group stared at the open door for a moment before going inside.

‘crazy.’

Rhaast almost screamed at the sight unfolding inside the door.

A spacious hall where the lord chats with officials and sometimes holds banquets.

It was littered with mountains of bones and rotting flesh.

It was the moment when the inside of Hadman Castle, which seemed far-fetched on the outside, was revealed.

“I was just nervous.”

Nesty whispered softly, barely audible.

Contrary to my worries, I didn’t feel any presence anywhere in the hall.

It seemed that the Warlocks and minions guarding this place were also put into attacking the Shadow Forest.

“Is that the altar?”

In the center of the hall was a huge magic circle and an altar painted in blood.

An altar made for the resurrection of Azazel.

Nesty clenched her fists and stepped in front of him.

“Gaos. It’s your turn.”

Although there were many twists and turns, the party reached this point relatively safely.

All that remains is to summon Azazel.

As soon as Gaos activated the altar, the mission was over.

“… … .”

However, Gaos seemed to have no intention of activating the altar, just looking around with his upper body upright.

“What are you doing?”

Raast frowned and brushed him off.

I wanted to get out of this unpleasant place as soon as possible, but I was impatient to wait so long.

“… … This is not a resurrection magic circle.”

After a while, Gaos murmured in a low voice.

Nesti and Raast looked at him at the same time.

“what?”

“The form is similar, but it is definitely different. Someone changed the structure of the magic circle.”

He has been working hard for Azazel’s resurrection for nearly a thousand years.

He was in charge of making the magic circle, making the altar, and gathering the materials needed for resurrection, but it wasn’t a job to figure out such a minor error.

“I almost got into trouble.”

What was engraved under his feet was not a resurrection magic circle, but a vampiric touch magic that sucked the energy of all living things that came within range.

If I didn’t notice and activate it, everyone here would have died as skinny mummies.

“I think Azazel knew we were coming.”

“It must mean that someone has set a trap like this, right?”

Nesty and Raast’s eyes met in the air.

Gaos turned and spoke in a strong tone.

“Run. right now.”

tadak-

The group hurriedly moved their legs using those words as a signal.

cooong!

But before I could take a few steps, the wide open iron door closed with a heavy sound.

Even so, the dark hall has now become a dark place where you can’t see an inch ahead.

“… … light.”

Nesti raised the divine power she had saved.

Bead-like clusters of light spread out from her fingertips and colored the dark hall brightly.

“Nice to meet you. everyone.”

across the hall. An unfamiliar voice came from the throne of the lord stained with blood.

Sitting with his chin resting on the armrest, he waited until Nesty’s light was fully diffused before standing up in a leisurely motion.

“Who are you?”

Rhaast asked as he drew out his sword.

The answer came from Gaos right next to him.

“The knight commander’s son.”

Gaos only heard the voice and found out the identity of the stranger.

Beltor Logrant.

He is the son of Jordi, the Death Knight he killed before. In order to save his life, he followed his father and became a servant of the demons.

In his lifetime, he wielded a magic wand unlike his father, the leader of the knights.

Until he reached his age, he did not receive much attention due to his poor skills, but after receiving Azazel’s power, he became a useful warlock and helped Gaos for a long time.

He was able to create such a trap thanks to the knowledge he gained from following Gaos.

“The owner said that three rats would visit sooner or later, but his insight is never wrong.”

Beltor said as he took off his hood.

Pale skin with no vitality and gray eyes with no focus.

He was full of confidence even in front of the Arch Lich, who is said to be the essence of black magic, and the holy woman of the Sephirot.

“Are you so confident that you made a trap that no one will get caught on?”

Gaos snorted and said.

No matter how much he received Azazel’s power, Beltor’s magic skills were still poor in his eyes.

Even if this trap had been triggered, it would have taken less than a second to neutralize it.

“Who said I made this?”

“… … what?”

“Your eyesight is so poor that I can’t believe that you served my master for a thousand years. Well, that’s why he must have committed apostasy without knowing the subject.”

Beltor pointed at the magic circle with a mocking smile on his face.

From noble mtl dot com

“What you are stepping on is a welcome gift from the owner. Please enjoy yourself comfortably.”

Shhh-!

The next moment, the magic circle turned red, and black hands popped out and grabbed the party’s ankles.

“Keugh!”

“Ugh!”

As if drowning in a frozen lake, the chill engulfing the body reflexively groaned.

‘Nonsense.’

Gaos saw this and opened his mouth wide.

What was drawn beneath his feet was not a simple life-absorbing magic circle.

The highest level of black magic that turns not only the vitality of living creatures within range, but also their souls into powder.

It was a magic called Soul Eater that Azazel liked to use when absorbing Yeong Ji-min in the past.

‘Only the other part was cleverly hidden. Was this the corner to believe in?’

When the magic circle was activated, the parts that had been covered by dried blood, bones, and rotting corpses were revealed.

It was thoroughly prepared from the stage of drawing this to deceive the eyes of the victim.

‘It’s not that guy’s work.’

Drawing a soul eater magic circle with Beltor’s skills is absolutely impossible no matter how much time is given.

Of Azazel’s minions, only Gaos could draw it, but he turned to Aaron’s side long ago, so there was only one left.

‘Is it really made by Azazel? Did he already resurrect?’

His gaze turned to the Altar of Resurrection.

On the altar, there was a jar containing the catalyst needed for resurrection, but Azazel’s energy, which should normally be felt strong, was not felt at all.

The catalyst has already been used.

“Dispel magic!”

After making his decision, he immediately jumped off Nesty’s shoulder and cast a spell.

Then, the chill that oppressed the body of the party alleviated in an instant.

“Saint! Keep calm and hold on! I’ll take care of him!”

Gaos ran forward without waiting for an answer.

“Light! Protect the Lamb!”

Nesty did not waste the time Gaos had earned.

Soon, a curtain of pure white light opened up and enveloped her and Rhaast.

“Hmm, you manage to use magic with a body like that.”

Beltor said, trying to hide his embarrassment.

In fact, from the moment the party entered, the only thing he cared about was the saintess.

The knight who came with him had no ability to withstand Azazel’s magic, so aside from that, he thought that Gaos would not be able to resist because he possessed a weak kid.

But contrary to expectations, Gaos proudly endured Azazel’s magic, and even temporarily neutralized it.

It made no sense with Beltor’s common sense.

“If I had stayed still, everyone would have gone in peace, but it’s really unfortunate.”

Beltor murmured with the smile on his face gone.

He looked disapprovingly at Gaos, who was running towards him, and swung the skull staff in his hand.

“Hurry up and greet the guests.”

Dalgrak! Dalgrak!

Piles of bones and corpse fragments piled up all over the hall began to move.
