Chapter 320 - Episode Twenty - The Immortal Monk Rathboutt (1)(Side: Rathboutt)

While Abel was engaged in a battle with Penrath, a shadow approached the village in the f.a.ge territory.

He had a bizarre appearance, like an uneven, eerie mask, and a brown beard that covered his chin.

The large man ran across the gra.s.slands with a swiftness that belied his ma.s.sive body.

He is the worst and strongest large man in the pride of Riveras Kingdom, the monstrous monk Rathboutt, who was once feared as a killing priest.

He is also one of the worlds foremost users of magic to strengthen his body.

In addition, he has Levis summoning crest on his chest, which is secretly given only to the Four Great Priests, and receives Levis magic power from it, enabling him to activate magic in a realm that is normally beyond human control.

In the Levi Church, he was more powerful than Pope Sateria, but he had a history of treason as a priest of an evil sect, and Levi could not reveal this to the public in order to gain the trust of the people.

He is the fifth of the four great priests, and the secret weapon of the Riveras Kingdom.

(The target is the Red Stone of the Doom Tribe, the legacy of the Sky G.o.d! However, the red stone must be alive! The most important and dangerous person, Abel, has been attracted by Penrath along the border. Its too easy However, I have no intention of letting my guard down at the behest of Levi-sama.)

Rathboutt laughs, exposing his gums, and raises his hideous looking staff.

A baby monkey skull is attached to the tip of the staff, and the handle is covered with human hair.

It is a ritual staff and a spell monkey staff.

This is a remnant of his time as a member of the Evil sect, which was considered heretical even among the Levi Church.

Now Rathboutt has abandoned the teachings of the evil sect, and is a member of the new Levi Faction, which has renewed the doctrines that have been corrupted and lost their original meaning over the ages, and takes only the voice of the revived Levi as its true teachings.

The wand, however, was allowed by Levi to be in his possession because it is an excellent medium for sorcery and also plays a part in the immortality of Rathboutt.

A part of Rathboutts soul is sealed in this wand by the demons evil laws.

No matter how badly Rathboutt is injured, as long as the wand is around him, the magical power of the wand will keep Rathboutts life and consciousness together, and has the power to regenerate his body.

Even without the wand, Rathboutthas a life force comparable to that of a demon or a large magical beast through other rituals, so he is essentially overpowered for this mission.

However, if he were to leave the country without his wand, there is no guarantee that an a.s.sa.s.sination squad from another country would not target him.

This was a top-secret mission, and it should not take more than a day at most.

However, the Amor, the extremist magic society of the Kudor Church, the Five Grand Masters, the advisory body to the king of the Maharaun Kingdom, and the Balancer of the Scale of Time, who claimed to be the leveler of the world, might get wind of it and move in.

Hide me.

As the village comes into view, Rathboutt casts a spell.

A magic circle unfolded and Rathboutts figure wavered and disappeared.

Well, lets start the hunt

Rathboutt laughs and accelerated his running speed to enter the village.

Keeping his invisibility magic intact, Rathboutt walked with no sound or signs of life, and approached from behind as two men and a woman walked by, chatting and laughing.

With his ma.s.sive arms, he grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him up.

Suddenly, the woman screams and loses power on her lower body as the man floats into the air and moans in pain.

You will answer the question. If you tell a lie, you will both die, so please be careful with your answers. There is a daughter of the Doom tribe with horns in this village, is there not? Can you please tell me where she is now?

When Rathboutt was informed by the threats that Mea was in a room in the lords mansion, he threw the man to the ground as if he had no more use for him, and immediately went to Larks mansion, the largest mansion in the village.

There was a guard at the gate of the mansion, but he didnt notice the unseen Rathboutt.

Rathboutt leisurely entered the mansion and looked for Mea.

(It makes sense that he was invited to the lords mansion as a guest. I dont think he could have told such a lie on the spur of the moment in that situation, and there was no sign of a lie on his face. Not here, not here too Then, all thats left here, I guess )

I opened the door and looked into the room.

In the room, a woman with curly orange hair was sitting cross-legged on a wooden box.

It looks like youre looking for something, Im sorry but Im not it.

The woman adjusted the slippage of the pointy hat on her head, while pointing her other hand towards the russet boot.

You, You can see me!

Rathboutt holds up his monkey staff and prepares against the orange-haired womans magic.

The woman swings her arm down.

With just that, without any chanting or magic circles, ten magic bullets of flame are generated and fly to Rathboutt.

With-, Without chanting!? You, youre not human !

Rathboutt leaps backwards.

However, he cant avoid it.

The flaming magic bullets are hitting the body of Rathboutt. Its If one hits him, he will lose his stance, and the rest of the flaming bullets will hit the giant body one after another.

As soon as they hit, the flaming bullets burst into small explosions, bouncing off Rathboutt and sending him tumbling to the floor.

The magic bullets of flame that missed destroyed the ceiling, floor, and walls, making a huge hole.

Screams flew from the other rooms, wondering what all the fuss was about.

Correct. I felt an ominous wavelength of magic, so I came to check, but it looks like Im right. It looks like the magic leak was a cover-up. Youre not a bad shot, but youre not going to get through to me with that kind of precision. If youre moving in Abels absence, then youre probably targeting Baron Lark. I dont think the impoverished Levi Church is big enough to send a sorcerer of your caliber on a mission.

The orange-haired witch, the legendary alchemist Altamir.

She has made her own soul into an artificial spirit.

Because of this, like demons, she is able to activate magical phenomena as they are without any magic circles or chanting.

Rathboutt had fallen after being hit by a series of Altamirs magic bullets, but he quickly regained his position by kicking the floor, jumping up and down, doing a side roll, and landing on his feet.

Then this is no longer necessary.

Rathboutts invisibility collapses.

The empty s.p.a.ce is distorted and Rathboutts huge body appears.

The priests robe has a few scorch marks on it, but there are no scars on his body.

That orange hair and that inexplicable chantless magic just now so youre the witch Altamir? If so, this chantless magic is the work of a spirit body. Ive heard rumors, but turning a soul into a spirit is an action that makes me question my sanity. Normally, the more you study alchemy, the more you become fascinated with the mysteries of magic, and the more you become inseparable from religion, but you, the Orange Witch, you dont even fear G.o.d, do you?

Im rather relieved to hear a sane response.

Altamir muttered, glaring in disgust at Rathboutts bizarre appearance.

Geez looks like I met an outrageous sorceress. What does the orange witch, who was driven out of her village because of her heresy, think shes doing now? I dont know what the circ.u.mstances are, but do you think youve become the guardian deity of the f.a.ge territory? How laughable.

The monk cowered with a blank expression on his face.

As Altamirs eyes grew darker, he easily turned his head away.

Its time to stop. The young barons head is not worth it when the orange witch is the opponent

Rathboutt chanted the spell in a calm tone, as if he were letting out a sigh.

Water, penetrate.

Five magic circles were simultaneously formed around Altamir.

Starting from that point, thin needles of water shot out toward her.

The deployment of multiple magic circles and the appearance of magic circles in remote locations are both advanced techniques.

It was an all-out magical attack by Rathboutt.

The water needle was small in scale, but it was a magic that specialized in causing the death of the opponent with the minimum and fastest attack.

Of course, Rathboutt had no intention of giving up.

He spits out lies as if he were breathing and deploys his killing magic with a sigh.

This is one of Rathboutts strengths.

Its not that Altamir believed Rathboutts words, but she didnt expect him to immediately unleash his full power of magic without showing any signs, so her reactions are delayed.

As she flew through the air, she couldnt avoid the water needles that were released, one pierced her leg and the other scratched her cheek.

The needles of water flew straight through the ceiling and floor.

Smoke rises from the collapsed parts, and the other spirit forms compensate, repairing the holes in the legs and the wounds on the cheeks.

If you were a human, this would have been the end of it A bit of a bad match for a spirit.

If you think a big swing is going to hit me, then do it. I didnt want to really fight here, but Ill give it my all now.
