500 Years as Just an Extra,

The Original Story Still Won’t Begin

Episode 210

[Over here.]

When Ailesia looked up, she could see Termion clinging closely to the building wall.

…How is he doing that at a fifth-floor height? Someone who can’t even use magic?

Thud.

He landed lightly on the ground and opened his mouth.

“I was keeping watch around the area just in case. No one’s visible yet.”

“How did you get up there? Did you use some magical tool?”

“This is also an application of aura.”

“…You can fly through the sky with aura?”

“It’s an embarrassing level compared to you, though.”

Just what kind of realm is an aura conjurer? Like an onion, new abilities keep appearing no matter how much you peel away.

“Let’s go this way.”

Termion stopped at the entrance of the alley and raised his finger to point at a building about 20 meters away.

“Do you see it there?”

“Is that the storage you mentioned earlier?”

“Yes.”

“Let me see…”

Ailesia concentrated magical power in her eyes and examined the area around the building. Besides the barriers and defense magic visible on the surface, there were surely hidden devices as well.

“…Well, look at this?”

It seems like we’ve caught a big fish.

She confirmed the magic circle ominously positioned at the building entrance and lifted the corners of her mouth.

“Did you discover something?”

“It’s dark magic.”

“…We found the right place.”

“That building doesn’t seem to be just a simple storage. If they’ve sealed the entrance like that, what could possibly be inside?”

“Can you break through it?”

“It’s impossible to dispel that silently. I’ll have to break it with force.”

If it were ordinary magic, she could check the magic formula and reverse-calculate it, but such methods don’t work on dark magic. The only option is to crudely overpower it with magical power.

‘I’ll need to visit the Magic Tower soon.’

Without people like herself, Termion, and Iolene, there are limits to dealing with dark magic through force. The need to proceed with research with Melbarik as quickly as possible had grown even greater.

“How will you do it?”

“I’ll just blow away the door. That thing can’t be broken with ordinary physical force anyway.”

Even covering the surroundings with soundproof magic and illusion magic would be useless. The moment the barrier is destroyed, a signal will immediately be sent.

There’s no way they would install such ridiculous magic without that level of preparation.

“Count Montid, Kiril, please take cover. Dark magic is unpredictable.”

“Don’t worry about us.”

“I’ll cast the strongest protective magic possible.”

As she spoke, golden light streamed from Ailesia’s staff, enveloped Sigmund and Kiril, and disappeared.

“Then I’m going.”

“You’re going to do it?”

“There’s no need for you to step forward for something like this.”

She had been curious about Termion’s abilities anyway. She could only roughly guess his level, and hadn’t seen him fight since returning to Retis.

Whooooom-

Termion walked forward and immediately drew up his aura. With each step he took, silver-white blades began to gradually increase in midair.

“Wow…”

Ailesia unconsciously let out an exclamation of admiration.

Termion surrounded by dozens of pure white swords looked exactly like a hero from mythology.

It was already amazing to materialize aura without any weapons, but she couldn’t even sense the limits of his power. It was hard to believe even while seeing it with her own eyes.

The moment the blades around him exceeded roughly a hundred, Termion raised his hand and pointed at the building entrance.

Swooooosh-!

Silver-white swords as tall as a person poured toward the building entrance all at once.

“…It feels like watching a machine gun.”

Ailesia naturally recalled weapons from her previous life.

Despite the speed being fast enough to leave afterimages in the air, new swords would form around him and fly away as quickly as they were fired, repeating the process.

Kwaaaaang!

The dark magic barrier violently shook in resistance.

At first, it seemed angry and persistently emitted dark red demonic energy, but under the merciless silver-white bombardment, its color was gradually fading.

“It’s broken through.”

Simultaneously with Ailesia’s words, one blade that had penetrated the barrier’s gap was engulfed in brilliant light and exploded.

Kwarrrrrung!

A roar erupted that shook the entire building. Having noticed the disturbance, signs of people could be felt from all directions.

“How was that?”

When Termion turned to look at her with a grin, Ailesia responded with light applause.

“Simple but flashy, crude yet efficient. You could even change jobs to become a mage.”

“A mage who can only smash things, you mean?”

“But you do the work of dozens of people. That wasn’t your full power, was it?”

“It’s similar to the feeling of you snapping your fingers.”

…Then this is really no joke? Perhaps at night, he might be stronger than her.

“They’re coming soon.”

“I’ll leave dealing with the surroundings to you. I need to go inside and take a look.”

The demonic energy flowing from the building after the barrier broke was unusual. It seemed to far exceed the level emitted by ordinary magical tools.

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry. If it’s dangerous, I’ll just run away.”

Though she said it half-jokingly, Ailesia was actually slightly tense inside.

‘I can’t freely awaken the Dragon Heart.’

Just slightly opening it in the carriage had caused that level of backlash. Proper dragon language magic would probably be limited to at most twice.

If she overdid it here, the demonic energy confined in her body would go berserk. If that happened, the only option would be to immediately annihilate it.

‘I absolutely can’t do that when I haven’t even confirmed who the mastermind is yet.’

This level isn’t even worth calling a handicap. Ailesia gripped her staff tightly and entered the building interior.

The inside felt more like an auditorium than an ordinary storage. A space that seemed to be about three stories high was completely open.

Iron display stands were sparsely placed along one wall, and large leather pouches and boxes lined up beside them were visible.

‘What is that?’

Something was piled up like a small mountain in the center of the space as well. At first glance it looked like chunks of meat, but as she got closer, a strange stench wafted out.

No, this was different from a simple stench. It was that distinctive burnt smell like burning rotten leather.

‘Demonic energy…!’

Ailesia created several large light sources and sent them to various places. Soon the light sources floating in the air gradually grew larger and brightly illuminated the indoor area.

“Monsters?”

Upon checking, the object she had mistaken for a small mountain was monster corpses.

Why were creatures you’d only see in the heart of the Gardbale Mountains here? And without a single trace of processing, while containing plenty of demonic energy.

Ailesia approached closer with a frown.

This smell was a distinctive aura flowing from the demonic energy itself, so it couldn’t be avoided by simply covering one’s nose.

‘There are some traces…?’

Marks of tearing through the skin here and there and sewing it back up. Not just cutting the hide, but corpses with flesh completely exposed or bones protruding were abundant.

‘Why were monster corpses hidden? Where did all these come from in the first place?’

Judging by their condition, it seemed too late to process the hide for use, and only bones remained.

But if they intended to use the bones, there was no reason to leave the corpses like this. It would be more convenient in many ways to extract the bones and store them.

“Grrrrrrr….”

Suddenly, a sound resembling a beast’s cry came from somewhere. It was too murky and drawn-out to be a sound from vocal cords.

Thud thud thud thud thud-

“…Huh?”

Surely her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her.

That massive mountain of magic beasts was slowly stirring. More precisely, the corpses that had been sprawled out were starting to writhe one by one, raising their bodies.

“This can’t be….”

The moment Ailesia slid her body backward across the floor, several magic beast corpses from the top came tumbling down to the ground.

Thump!

“Grrrlk….”

The magic beasts that revealed themselves before Ailesia numbered seven in total.

Dark red energy flowed from their bodies like smoke, and their twisted limbs creaked with every movement.

“Creating undead from magic beasts….”

Undead were the most troublesome among monsters, and the material wasn’t even ordinary humans but magic beasts.

What would happen if there were hundreds or thousands of these things? Not only regular soldiers, but even decent knights and mages would have difficulty facing them.

After thinking that far, a scene flashed through her mind.

‘The final battle of the original work…!’

While Elenora and Kalior entered the Imperial Palace to stop the First Prince, Rebecca fought alone, blocking the entrance.

Perhaps the magic beasts she faced were undead like these. They certainly said they came in endless waves.

“Perfect timing, you half-dead bone bags.”

Ailesia’s eyes flashed as she began radiating brilliant golden mana.
