Chapter 18 I Am Embarrassed for You
"Why four people?"
On the field where we fought with the first-level cursed spirits just now, there were only three spells visible to the naked eye. They were Nobuno's "Growth", Iwata's "Earth", and Ishihara's "Burning Sky".
The fourth spell was Mr. Akabe's "Loan", which was quite interesting.
It seemed that the three of them were surrounded and killed seamlessly, but in fact, it was the result of the joint efforts of four people.
Mr. Akabe could lend his cursed power to Kiyono, Iwata, and Ishihara through "loan".
Sitting on Mr. Akabe's shoulder was a white, fat, and cute little angel shape that did not match his fierce appearance. He shouted "Pochi, Pochi" in his mouth. It was the embodiment of his spell, which was used for billing.
There were three types of "loan sharking", "IOU" and "mortgage loan", and the loan method was chosen by the initiator of the spell.
The one that was lent to one's own people was naturally "IOU".
And with the cursed power of Mr. Akabe, the spell used by the caster would be more powerful than before in terms of accuracy and power.
Just now, the three people borrowed a total of 17,670 points of mana from Mr. Abe, which is 5,890 points per person.
Theoretically, a single person can borrow up to 20,000 points, which is the maximum amount of mana Mr. Abe can borrow.
Three people can borrow 60,000 points, which can also be borrowed, but for the remaining 40,000 points of debt, Mr. Abe will force the three people to enter the "no mana" mode until they pay off the debt after starting the settlement.
Of course, "white slips" are interest-free
There is also a kind of "loan sharking", super high loans, super high interest rates, and super high principal and interest, which is terrifying to think about, and it doesn't sound like a loan method that people want to borrow.
These were originally available to Mr. Abe, the owner of the technique, but now the only thing he can use is the "mortgage" loan.
Looking at the bill, 18,000 points have been consumed so far, and another 330 points have been consumed.
"Should we settle?"
"Ahem, ahem, wait a minute."
Originally, he was the one who had the most cursed power in the Curse Master Association, and unlimited borrowing equals unlimited cursed power.
But because Mr. Abe took advantage of loopholes in the early years, borrowed money without restraint and defaulted on debts, his credit has gone bankrupt.
Mr. Abe wiped the black blood from his mouth with a violent cough, which meant that when using this spell, he had to use another spell "Fictional Soul" to impersonate himself, so he was on the "blacklist" list, and his body was under great pressure.
For example, after opening it today, it will probably not be opened for the second time within a month. Mr. Abe has to confirm the situation on the battlefield first, and then close the spell.
As long as Mr. Abe opens it, there will be at least 42,000 cursed power points that Ishihara and others can borrow.
Otherwise, the three people will be charged for the arrears after the settlement, and even 6,000 points of debt per person will instantly drain their cursed power.
"Be careful and you'll be fine."
In theory, sorcerers of the same level should win against cursed spirits of the same level. Why is it so difficult for them?
Are four first-level sorcerers so tired of fighting a first-level cursed spirit?
The members of [Scavenger] were evaluated to be only capable of logistics, and they are naturally not comparable to active combatants.
The injuries in the mission and the effects of the curses cast on them by powerful cursed spirits after their death have inevitably reduced the total limit of the cursed power, power, and reaction speed of these old hunters.
The group of Abebe is barely at the level of a second-level sorcerer now. In a few years, they will really have to retire. It is not known whether they have the level of a third-level sorcerer.
Just like Takahashi, Kinoshita, and Hongo who went to treat civilians with Kenmei Isayama, they also suffered from overwork when they were young and accumulated a lot of injuries. Even the once powerful spells can no longer be used and are not suitable for fighting anymore.
Only when they "borrow" from Mr. Abebe can they occasionally reminisce about their youth.
In the final analysis, there are too few sorcerers. The busiest sorcerer has to do the work of at least ten people a day, running around everywhere to exorcise cursed spirits.
The only one who can be rated as a special sorcerer in the Sorcerer Association is a very willful yellow-haired girl, who is not up to the task.
So one of the reasons why Jiebian and others don’t want to retire is that the younger generation has not grown up yet.
"Is it solved?"
Jianshan Xianmei saw that the movement in the distance stopped, and immediately ran over.
Well, it’s definitely not for points.
"Are you okay, uncles."
"Isn’t this certain! Xiaoming."
Seeing Jianshan Xianmei coming, Ishihara put the hammer aside, smiled and patted him on the back with his palm-leaf fan-like hand, but it wasn’t very hard, just a simple greeting.
"Don't underestimate us. It's no big deal if we combine the strength of the four of us."
What appeared in front of Kenmei Isayama was a pit with a depth of 20 meters and a diameter of 100 meters. The bottom was full of traces of high-temperature melting. The scorched earth in the pit was still burning, and the torso of the original terrifying cursed spirit could be vaguely seen as it was burnt in a fiery red color.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Kenmei Isayama smiled and praised them a few words, but his eyes never left the pit.
Because Kenmei Isayama was keenly aware that this thing was not dead yet.
The system showed that the collectable cursed power was 0
It also needed to finish off the knife, which he was good at.
"Mr. Kiyono, lend me your knife."
Kenmei Isayama half squatted and said to Kiyono Nobu who was lying on the ground
"What are you doing with the knife? Hiss. It hurts."
The grinning Kiyonobu and Iwata were both unable to stand due to the excessive use of the technique just now. They both leaned on the car door and sat on the ground.
Although the spell power is borrowed, it is their own bodies that use this spell power. The violent output of the spell power flows on the dry and shrunken meridians, which is naturally painful.
"Get it yourself."
Seeing these two exhausted uncles, Isayama Nomei smiled helplessly and took a tachi with a blade about 1.5 meters long from Mr. Kiyono's hand.
As for whether Isayama Norimei would pick up the sword and kill the two first-level conjurers (front) who lost their ability to resist with one strike, neither Ishihara, Nobuno, nor Iwata considered this possibility.
Although the age gap is a bit big, they have been on many missions together, so there is still trust between them.
"Then, it's up to me to finish the job."
Isayama Kenmei pulled out his sword, and the cold light on the silver-white blade made people shudder.
His hand holding the knife was shaking. This was an opportunity to kill a first-level cursed spirit with his own hands!
How many points will you get?
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Xiao Ming, what are you doing!"
When Ishihara saw Isayama Kenmei pull out the blade, he couldn't wait to jump into the pit that was still braving the terrifying temperature, and immediately wanted to stop him.
There are not only high temperatures but "poisonous gases" inside, the air is so thin that you will die from lack of oxygen.
Isayama Norimei is not even the weakest level four magician certified by the Magician Association, so he is simply going to die.
But he himself was more than capable. It was also due to the excessive use of the magic power that his whole body was stiff and unable to move at all.
It's just that Ishihara wanted to save face, so he didn't fall to the ground, but insisted on staying standing.
“The temperature inside is still very high, so there’s no need to rush the finishing touches until later.”
Seeing Akube walking slowly, Ishihara immediately shouted anxiously
"Brother, stop Xiao Ming quickly."
"He went down there!"
Mr. Akube was quite helpless when he saw that all three of them were unable to move, but he didn't panic at all.
Let you guys not show off your strength, but do show off your strength.
How could such a high amount of mantra power be consumed by just messing around and delaying time?
The goal of the three of them was to eliminate this first-level curse spirit from the beginning, but the result was obvious, and each of them collapsed.
In a sense, this is really not "one family does not enter the same house". Isayama Norimei's meager mana value is less than three digits, which makes him equally weak.
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Ming told me."
"He recently awakened his technique."
Mr. Akube took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it slowly.
"On the contrary, you don't even know whether you have killed your own prey."
"First-level conjurer?"
"Ha, I'm blushing for you."
