Bab 789: -778- [ Lemegeton ]

"Buzz..."

The dense magical power gathers at the headmaster's fingertips. He extends his finger, gliding through the air, turning the trajectory into beams of light, forming a magic array.

"Magic array?"

Rozen feels somewhat surprised. In this world, traditional magic has been completely replaced by Machinart, so it's unexpected that the strongest magus of the 19th century would use magic in such an ancient way, creating a sense of astonishment.

Of course, the headmaster is not using complex magic at the moment; otherwise, it would be impossible to complete it in such a short time. Traditional magic is abandoned because it is cumbersome and time-consuming, replaced by Machinart.

Currently, the headmaster is only using a small magic to summon stored items. Under this magic's effect, a thick book appears at the center of the magic array.

"That is..."

Rozen's eyes slightly narrow. With the ability of Mind's Eye, he discerns the true nature of the book.

"Grimoire..."

Yes, not just a magic book but a Grimoire—a magical tool, a book that is magic in itself. On the cover of this Grimoire are various patterns and designs familiar to Rozen.

Those patterns and designs are specifically used for summoning.

In other words, this book in front of him is a "Summoning Grimoire."

As soon as these words are spoken, regardless of others, the headmaster holding the Grimoire nods appreciatively.

"Exactly."

The headmaster raises the Grimoire in his hand.

"This is a treasure written by a great magus from the future, containing a vast collection of his lifetime achievements. It's an automaton puppet summoning catalog. Although many have been lost or even plundered, this book still preserves over fifty legendary-level automatic puppets. Its name is—'Lemegeton.'"

———'Lemegeton.'

This name might not be very familiar to many, but if its formal name is mentioned, many will recognize its existence.

———'Lesser Key of Solomon.'

The legendary demonic book held by Solomon, the ancient king of Israel, used to summon the seventy-two pillars of demons.

In this world, such a demonic book has been reproduced. However, its purpose is not to summon the seventy-two pillars of demons but to summon legendary-level automatic puppets created by imitating the seventy-two pillars.

"The great magus, using a cosmic truth-level magic that could traverse time and space, sent this summoning catalog to the past, into this era.

The headmaster began to emit magical energy—like a wild wind, like turbulent waves—a terrifying magic that filled everyone around, leaving them with shocked expressions.

However, the headmaster himself stated, 'If it's only magic, skills, talents, and knowledge, I wouldn't admit defeat to anyone. But that doesn't make me the strongest. In this world, there are several who can rival me.'

The headmaster raised the magical book in his hand. 'Because I possess this book, which can command fifty mythological demons, I am called the strongest.'

Saying this, the floating book, 'Lemegeton,' in front of the headmaster suddenly stopped flipping.

"Clang!"

A brilliant light burst forth from the pages, illuminating the surroundings. The light formed an elegant staircase rising from behind the headmaster, extending upward. A red carpet appeared on the steps, leading to a throne adorned with gold and silver treasures.

Sitting on the throne was a beautiful queen—a face with perfect features, eyes that seemed to disdain everything, covered only in a thin white silk, with hands and feet adorned with several golden rings.

"Queen..."

"Goddess..."

"Oh God..."

The students, professors, and guards around were all dumbfounded. Even Avril, holding her breath, and the automatic puppet of the team showed astonishment.

Even Magnus stared intently at the queen sitting on the throne, speaking with a tone full of reverence.

"The 29th of the 72 Pillars of Demons, Grand Duchess—Astaroth."

She is one of the 72 demons mentioned in 'The Lesser Key of Solomon,' taking inspiration from the legend of the fertility goddess Ishtar in the ancient Babylonian kingdom. A highly famous demon, commanding forty legions, her name is even recorded in the demon catalog of the 'Pseudo-Enoch Book,' earning her many aliases.

Now, the automaton symbolizing that mythological demon has been summoned, overlooking everything below with a regal gaze, like a true queen.

The headmaster, treating her as a genuine queen, stood below the staircase, respectfully bowing to Astaroth above.

"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, great queen."

The headmaster displayed great respect and admiration towards the automaton he had summoned.

Amidst the astonished gazes of students, professors, and guards, Astaroth naturally accepted the homage from her puppeteer, turning her attention to him.

"Edward, isn't it?" Astaroth revealed a captivating smile, her tone arrogant. "How long has it been since you encountered a situation that required summoning me?"

"O queen, it has probably been several years." The headmaster, maintaining respect, also smiled and said, "Although I wish to stand independently of the queen's influence, I am not mature enough, which is quite frustrating."

"Nonsense," Astaroth dismissed. "You've already been adorned with the pretentious title of the strongest of the 19th century. Still claiming immaturity? Isn't it just that you want to use my legion?"

"Can't hide anything from the queen." The headmaster turned his gaze to Astaroth, sincerely saying, "Please summon your legion here and display your majesty."

"Very well. Since my legion consists of a whopping forty, deploying one is hardly worth mentioning." Astaroth turned her gaze forward, saying, "And then? Is the opponent that little devil who's been casting unpleasant glances at me since a while ago?"

Astaroth's words left everyone present momentarily stunned, and then they realized.

They discovered Rozen staring at Astaroth, his face devoid of any smile, his eyes revealing a hint of icy coldness.

That expression was as if he had seen something displeasing.

"Apologies, but my impression of the so-called 72 Pillars of Demons is not favorable. It always brings to mind a disgusting flesh pillar and a repugnant cuckold." Rozen spoke lightly.

"So, if we're going to fight, come quickly."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and charge up first."


Bab 790: -779- [ Gift of Foul Decay ]

"————"

As Rozen's words echoed throughout the venue and reached everyone's ears, the atmosphere in the air suddenly changed.

And not just changed, but changed quite thoroughly.

All students, professors, guards, and others focused their gaze on Astaroth, their faces showing fear.

Even the headmaster's face bore a wry smile.

Because...

"Daring to speak to me like this, this is the first time since my birth in this world."

Astaroth's face carried a beautiful smile, but her gaze was as cold as a hurricane capable of unleashing death, instilling fear.

Undoubtedly, this legendary and arrogant demon was angry.

"Queen, please calm down."

The headmaster, seemingly fearing something, advised Astaroth.

To this...

"Shut up, Edward."

Astaroth, rising from the throne with excessive grace, descending the steps step by step.

As Astaroth descended, the air began to be filled with the scent of death.

Astaroth approached the headmaster, making the splendid staircase disappear completely.

"Punishment must be severe for those who show disrespect."

Astaroth continued to look at Rozen, while her hand extended towards the headmaster.

"Give me your magic, Edward. I'm calling forth the army."

At these words, the headmaster's wry smile deepened. He obediently approached, supporting Astaroth's outstretched hand like a subordinate. His head lowered, and magic flowed into Astaroth's body like a surging stream.

"Boom!"

A burst of energy suddenly erupted from Astaroth.

It was the disturbance caused by the pitch-black mist abruptly rising from Astaroth's body.

The thick, pitch-black mist was not only ominous but also constantly flickering.

However, the moment this pitch-black mist appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted significantly. The air seemed to disappear as if consumed, and within the dense interior, faces full of pain emerged—like vengeful spirits, forming a legion.

This was Astaroth's army.

"What... What is that thing...!?"

"So terrifying...!"

"Could it be alive...!?"

The faces of the surrounding students, professors, and guards turned pale, filled with horror in their eyes and on their faces.

Even Yaya and Irori couldn't help but be shocked. Komurasaki and Io screamed in fear, their voices filled with terror.

Only Rozen, for a moment, revealed a surprised expression.

"Miasma...?"

Exactly.

The legion composed of faces full of pain was nothing but miasma.

That is something formed by miasma, bearing a striking resemblance to Shikigami, Spirit Disaster, and the like.

"Is manipulating miasma her magic circuit?" Rozen instantly grasped this point.

Indeed, that is Astaroth's magic circuit, capable of generating miasma out of thin air and manipulating it to form a legion of vengeful spirits, possessing the ability to attack enemies—<Gift of Foul Decay>.

If this extremely condensed miasma were in the world of Tokyo Ravens, it would undoubtedly be a Phase 3 dynamic spiritual disaster.

In other words, Astaroth's magic is the ability to create Phase 3 dynamic spiritual disaster.

And not just one or two, but a total of forty legions.

"Disappear," Astaroth declared, extending her hand, causing the legion of vengeful spirits to surge forward as if suddenly rioting, silently howling as they rushed forward.

The speed, the scale, it was like a vast army galloping, roaring as it swept over, surging towards Rozen's direction, attacking.

"Danger!"

Rozen hadn't given instructions yet, but Irori, with a tense face, also extended her hand, causing a silent and invisible winter to expand.

"Crackle...!"

Frost rose, quickly turning into a massive ice barrier in front of Rozen's group, blocking the incoming legion of vengeful spirits.

Instantly, the vengeful spirits collided with the ice wall.

"Hiss...!"

In a piercing sound, the vengeful spirits that landed on the ice wall not only were not stopped but, like a potent poison, gradually corroded the thick ice wall, melting it at a visible rate.

"How is this possible...!?"

Irori was instantly shocked.

"Indeed, miasma condensed to this extent is already comparable to the existence of dynamic spiritual disaster, capable of causing physical interference," Rozen's eyes also shimmered.

In this situation, Astaroth's legion of vengeful spirits, like determined warriors, continuously collided with the ice wall, corroding it relentlessly.

"Boom!"

Not long after, the ice wall shattered.

A large number of vengeful spirits immediately surged forward, covering Rozen's group.

"Ahhh...!"

In the poisonous miasma, Rozen's group each let out heart-wrenching screams, gradually being corroded by the foul decay, ultimately completely melting away.

"Dead...!?"

"That's it?!"

"That <Fimbulvetr's Winter> was killed...!"

The surrounding students, professors, and guards exclaimed successively.

"Truly pathetic."

Astaroth, too, was momentarily stunned, then contemptuously laughed.

Only the headmaster furrowed his brow tightly.

"No, that's not right."

As if sensing something, the headmaster asserted resolutely.

"This is an illusion."

As this judgment just came out of the headmaster's mouth, a figure appeared behind Astaroth like a mirage.

"Haaaa!"

Yaya activated the magic circuit of <Kongouriki> and delivered a punch that disturbed the atmosphere towards Astaroth's back.

"What...!?"

Astaroth's pupils contracted. She wanted to turn around but was already too late.

In this critical moment, the headmaster reacted promptly.

"I won't let you!"

The headmaster directly stepped forward, standing in front of Astaroth.

"Hum!"

In front of him, an invisible wall of telekinetic force spun like a hexagram.

It was the shield of <Magic Defence>.

"Bang!"

Yaya's fearsome punch landed on the headmaster's raised <Magic Defence>.

In theory, this strike should have been enough to shatter any magus's erected <Magic Defence> shield. However, the headmaster allowed his <Magic Defence> to tilt slightly, dissipating most of Yaya's punch force. Yaya's fist slid off to the side as if gliding, deviating.

"Huh?"

Yaya couldn't help but be astonished.

"Hmpf!"

Astaroth finally reacted, snorted disdainfully, and released a large amount of miasma. It surged like a black storm, causing many vengeful spirits to crash into Yaya's embrace.

"Bang!"

Yaya was instantly sent flying, propelled backward by the continuous onslaught of numerous vengeful spirits.

But Astaroth was surprised.

"How could my foul decay not corrode her?" Astaroth's surprise was met with a warning from the headmaster.

"Be cautious, Queen. These automatons are far from ordinary. They surpass many mythological demons under <Lemegeton>, coupled with the advanced puppetry skills. Their strength is extraordinary. Even the queen should not be careless, as it might backfire."

The headmaster's advice was met with a voice that seemed to be smiling.

"That should be what I said."

Rozen's voice echoed from the void.

"Although Komurasaki's <Yaegasumi> has already enveloped everyone in an illusion, it's unexpected that it would still be exposed."

Such a voice echoed seemingly out of nowhere, reaching the ears of everyone.
