Chapter 371 Chapter
112. The reason why they are looking for Temar’s tomb (3)
Wizards appeared in the dark bush.
There were 20 of them this time, and Mayla could be seen next to them.
[Look at this! I knew it. I would have thought that if it were you, you would have hidden the seal of the tomb somewhere else. But it’s obvious! In Wantaramo, the only place to hide the seal from my eyes is the Red Lake!]
Mayla stepped forward and said in a shrill voice. I was gasping for breath as if I had moved in a hurry to get here. Even the wizards all had their faces glistening with sweat.
‘I was a little worried about what would happen if the Observers were mixed in, but fortunately, it seems that only the Wizards of the Mage Tower came. Since the 3 Mage Towers are the closest, they must have arrived in a hurry, so they probably didn’t have time to bring them to the observatory.’
As the Observers are Zipple’s most elite secret unit and a direct subordinate of Octavia Ziple, it was also a force that the 3 Mage Towers could not dare to call.
‘Still, the report that I am in Wantaramo must have gone up to the upper level, so eventually the observatory will come. Last time, they put five people in to catch me.’
The key was to kill them all before support arrives, check the graves, and get out of the forest.
[When I said that I had to ally with Jiple for the sake of my own people, they ignored me saying it was nonsense! What is Runcandel? It’s not even Shiron Runkandel, I’m going to stick with that powerless young fellow!]
Mayla’s body temporarily swelled and reddened as she shouted in anger. It was a phenomenon that occurred when the descendants of the fairies were excited or showed their strength.
[Is this the way for my own people that my sister said? This is why everyone turned their backs on her sister. Where are you with me! Why don’t you come out and answer something!]
There was silence for a while. The sound of Myla’s huffing breath stood out.
In the meantime, Jin and Valeria estimated the rough strength of Ziple, and Bement’s demons were also carefully watching them.
[Ha, I was just excited. Anyway, listen up, sister. This is my last warning as a younger brother. If you come out now and pray, I will let you die painlessly. There’s blood and flesh… Kyaaak!]
Suddenly, Mayla screamed.
It was because Valeria’s magical rays grazed her wings. From the moment the wizards appeared, she had already finished chanting and had magic hidden in her hands.
[My wings! Wings aww! It’s hot!]
Mayla screamed and hid behind the wizards. The wizards didn’t react much to Myla’s injury.
[Can’t stop this too? Kill them right now! What are you guys doing huh!?]
“Shut up. Fearlessly step forward and shout, how dare you blame anyone or give orders to someone?”
A sorceress gave Mayla a look of contempt. Myla couldn’t help but shut her mouth, stunned by his cold demeanor.
“Nice to meet you, Gene Runcandel. I am Drew Malaga, the sub-top owner of the 3 Magic Tower.”
Malaga is one of the central families of the Lutero Magic Federation, and before Drew Malaga took over the work of the Mage Tower, he was also the second commander of the magic unit White Night.
-…Nice to meet you, Sir Luna. Midnight’s 2nd Captain, Maul Hensuck.
-You? It seems that the second captain has changed before I knew it.
-My predecessor, Sir Drew Malaga, retired…
-If it had been Drew, he would have stepped down the stairs first before being greeted by me.
I remembered the conversation between Luna and Maul Hensuck during the Seongguk Incident.
“There are many things to be pleased about, Sir Drew Malaga. I heard you retired.”
“A while ago, you returned as the sub-top owner of the 3 Magic Tower.”
“Looks like Lutero’s magic federation lacks talent.”
“All of the former Dark Knights of Runkandel have retired, but are they still unofficially carrying out their missions? I am similar.”
“Compared to the former Dark Knight, you seem to lack a lot. Are you overconfident or are you ignorant of shame?”
“That was an inappropriate expression. I apologize if I offended you.”
Drew wasn’t shallow enough to fall for provocation.
There is a good reason for being appointed as the sub-top master of the 3 Magic Tower even though he served as the second captain of the midnight sun and retired.
“Sir Gene Runcandel.”
said Drew, stroking his beard.
“Tell me.”
“I would like to make a suggestion.”
“proposal?”
“Just go. I’ll be sending support from higher up soon, so you can’t handle it. However, I also don’t want to lose my men needlessly to stop you.”
“I thought losing my men would stop me. What do you think my answer will be?”
“I can’t. One last thing to ask, who’s that wizard next to you? I hear they use forgotten magic…”
Drew had heard from Mayla on the way that Valeria was a record magic user.
‘Right now, Mayla activated the wand that calls the magic tower and came without any information, so Drew didn’t know that there was a record magic user here from the beginning. But even if I kill all the wizards, the information that I accompanied the record magic user will be entered into the ziple.’
As Jin thought, as soon as Drew Malaga heard of the existence of the recording wizard from Mayla, he had sent a letter to the Ziffle family.
Mayla’s betrayal was unexpected and inevitable.
As I was about to snort, Arya suddenly stepped forward and opened her mouth.
“You deal with the demons, Jin Runkandel.”
Are you saying you want to deal with twenty people alone?
Jin nodded without asking the question. If the master said so, it meant that he could do it alone.
“be careful.”
As Jin began to extend his sword to the demons, Valeria glared at the wizards.
“Listen up, Ziffle dogs.”
Valeria took off her hood, revealing her bare face. A silver pine staff stained with magical power was shining on her face.
“I am a descendant of those who have been trampled down, a brother of gray owls who were murdered innocently, and a wizard who will one day erase the name Ziffle from the world.”
Valeria Heister.
As she finished, Drew’s eyes widened. And Jin couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘Did the teacher reveal his real name?’
It is a real name that he has not yet revealed to himself.
Even while fighting the demons, Jin didn’t turn his attention away from Valeria.
The reason Valeria revealed her name was no different.
It meant that he would kill all the wizards in front of him without missing a single one.
“You will not be able to return alive.”
She was sure she could do it.
“…watch the floor!”
As soon as Valeria’s wand moved, Drew suddenly screamed.
Chains of lightning properties spread over the land he and the wizards were stepping on.
‘Did they have a spell while revealing their identity…!’
It was a shocking operation of magic that even Jin could not understand.
Even Jin, who was right next to her, didn’t notice at all that magic was flowing from her, so there was no way the wizards of the 3 Magic Towers would have recognized it.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Keep it off!”
The wizards who could not avoid the electric chain screamed.
Blood was already gushing from their mouths, noses and ears, and the wizards who managed to escape from the fire with a protective shield couldn’t help but feel chills run down their spines.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..”
The five wizards wrapped in chains soon met their end as they charred and vomited bubbles of blood.
In an instant, 20% of the Mage Tower’s power that had visited the forest disappeared.
However, that was not all of the misfortunes of the 3 mage tower mages. Even after killing five, the electric chain continued to cling to the remaining wizards’ shields, wriggling like living creatures.
Those chains not only put pressure on the shield, but also served to maximize the sense of fear by covering the wizards’ view.
“I will buy you time! Respond calmly. If you move hastily, you will fall into the backwater!”
Drew showed the appearance of serving as the second captain of the White Night. He continued his excellent command so that the embarrassed subordinates would not fall into the backwater.
However, Valeria expected Drew to be a person who could cope with that level.
Therefore, he intended to kill them in an unexpected way.
Kagaga River-!
As if summoning a phoenix, a dimensional door suddenly opened in the air.
Valeria held the summoning ceremony. However, the place where the dimension gate opened was not near Valeria, but ‘above the heads’ of the Mage Tower wizards.
Big Ching Chiying!
What came out of it were hundreds of sharp ice picks. Like the overlapping teeth of a shark, the ice pick continued to grow new without rest even if it hit the protective film and broke it.
The wizards whose protective shields were pierced faced death with their entire bodies skewered and skewered. The fallen flesh and organs were charred by the still gushing lightning chains.
The wizards of the 3 Mage Towers did not expect to be attacked in this way.
They all learned magic from Zipple and considered Zipple’s library to be home to all the magic in the world… but
they could affirm it. The fact that Valeria’s magic was of a kind she had never seen before. In fact, all the magic Valeria used were only those that went through so many transformations that it was difficult to guess the original.
That’s why I couldn’t deal with it properly. I thought I knew almost all the magic that existed in the world, but seeing my comrades burned to death and stabbed to death by a strange magic I had never heard of was truly terrifying.
Sreung!
confusion and panic.
In the midst of it, the ghastly sound of a blade coming out of its scabbard continued. It wasn’t Bradamante.
It was the sound of the dagger that Valeria had hidden in the sleeve of her robe coming out.
Step by step, step by step…
Valeria started approaching the wizards with not-so-quick steps.
Her eyes were red and stained with dark murderous intent. Until Valeria came at close range, the mages were busy struggling to survive the electric chains and ice picks.
The chains on the floor followed Valeria’s footsteps and opened a path.
The ice picks pouring down from the overhead portal only avoided the direction Valeria was walking.
From then on, it was a literal massacre.
Like a reaper, she swung among the mages, cutting a life with each move of her dagger. Valeria, who stabbed the wizards’ necks and hearts, had a terribly indifferent expression.
Before long, her steps headed towards Drew Malaga, who was even taking care of his subordinate mages as a shield.
Drew had already accepted defeat and death before she approached him. From the time five people were killed in the first surprise attack.
Even with Valeria right in front of him, Drew couldn’t fight back or push her away.
Valeria made eye contact with Drew for a moment without stabbing him.
“Among the wizards who slaughtered the Gray Owl Mercenaries, there was a man named Holden Malaga.”
“is it.”
“It seems to be your blood relative.”
Drew didn’t answer, avoiding Valeria’s gaze.
“You guys must be afraid of your brother dying too.”
Spaw!
As Valeria decapitated Drew, the electric chains and ice picks began to devour the men who were barely holding on thanks to his shield.
While blood and screams raged, Valeria shot her magic beam once again, knocking Mayla’s wings off as she tried to escape.
