Episode 398 Steel Wizard (1)
“Belkart! Why are you!”
Derek still didn’t understand.
The two weren’t close friends, but they knew each other.
At least, Derek couldn’t figure out why Belkat was doing this.
Rimray says it’s because of his daughter’s revenge, but what about Belcart?
What on earth were you thinking of doing even using the name of the dead Leslie?
Suddenly.
Derek recalled a fact from the past that he had forgotten.
“Could it be that you want to avenge your friends?”
“….friend?”
Rudger asked what that meant.
Derek said, staring at Belcart with a complicated face.
“Isabella and Leslie Belcart have been friends for a long time. The three always stuck together as if they were one body. It was the same when I joined the School of Truth.”
Isabella was positive and bright in everything.
Leslie was foolish, but more thoughtful and kind than anyone else.
Belcart is cold-hearted, but that’s why he acted as a brake.
They were three different people, but they were a team that fit together better than anyone else.
“But it was the accident of the day that ended up ruining the relationship.”
Rudgar knew what Derek was talking about.
The day Isabella went to Kasar Basin and was caught in a magical storm.
Since then, the relationship between the three has virtually collapsed.
“Wasn’t Leslie dead then too?”
“Leslie wasn’t at Cassar Basin that day. It was a year after Isabella’s death that he went missing. It just disappeared all of a sudden. To such an extent that no one knew where he was.”
“That’s why I said it was impossible.”
“But I couldn’t deny the possibility.”
So Derek thought that Leslie was behind this incident.
He thought he was acting to avenge his fiancé, Isabella.
But I never thought that the real identity was Belcart.
Derek figured out how this happened.
“Come to think of it, I heard such a story. There is a sorcerer who claims to be able to find a missing person in Kasar Basin. But most of them thought it was a rumor and was quickly buried.”
had to be buried.
Because the person who made that claim disappeared after a year.
“Leslie went to Kasar Basin by herself. And never came back.”
Isabella dies and Leslie dies.
Of the three people who used to hang out together, there was only one left.
How would Belcart feel when two of her friends of over 10 years died?
“Belcart. Is that why you are doing this?”
Derek’s eyes were full of confusion.
“To avenge your dead friends?”
They weren’t close friends.
However, as an alumnus from the School of Truth, I couldn’t help but be saddened by Belkat’s depravity.
A dead person is a dead person.
Shouldn’t the living be shaken off alive?
Belcart didn’t say anything in spite of Derek’s eyes.
Without any excuses or acceptance, it seemed as if this side was just letting them think on their own.
‘Was this the real First Order?’
Rudger thought Rimray was the First Order just a moment ago.
Rimray is a veteran 6th tier mage.
Who would have imagined that he, who is regarded as the best player anywhere he went, would only have been thrown out.
“Surprisingly.”
Belkat looked away from Derek and stared at Ludger.
“I don’t think he could have failed. I thought it ended successfully because the mansion completely collapsed.”
Belkat did not pretend to know Ludgar even when he saw him.
From the start, he knew that Rudger was here.
Even knowing that, he didn’t warn or tell Rudger about what was about to happen here.
As long as it’s the same First Order or whatever he’s in his mission area, if he gets in the way, I just have to kill him.
In the first place, the executives of the Black Dawn were like this.
He doesn’t hesitate to kill other executives for his own mission or to live.
Still, he even warned Rimray to be vigilant just in case.
I thought he would be able to handle it well enough.
But John Doe was right in front of his eyes.
What that means is that Rimray failed to kill John Doe.
“is it. Is he dead?”
There was no emotion of sadness.
There is something ahead of you that you need to pay attention to right now.
‘It must be that man who defeated Rimray.’
First Order [John Doe]
I didn’t pay much attention at first.
Although he was the same First Order, John Doe was loyal only to the Zero Order and did not get along well with the other officers.
It was for this reason that he did not have subordinates under his command and worked mainly alone.
John Doe’s past has been specializing in infiltration and collecting information on assassination under disguise.
Eliminate factors that seem to interfere with work and spread false information to cause disputes.
I’ll probably move like that for the rest of my life.
I thought so.
However, John Dow began to reveal his skills in earnest when he infiltrated as Ceorn’s teacher.
As if what he has shown so far is just the tip of the iceberg, John Doe caused a lot of disturbance.
Sometimes, as the same First Order, they acted incomprehensibly.
Still, he didn’t say anything because he believed in the Zero Order.
But now that John Doe came to stop him.
It was meaningless to say that he betrayed the Black Dawn.
Wasn’t he the one who tried to kill John Doe first?
‘I think it’s because I have a secret wish right in front of me.’
okay. Come now, what does that matter?
It has reached an irreversible situation.
Then, the only thing left is to kill each other and kill each other.
‘Do you think so too? John Doe. No, Ludgar Chelsea.’
Ludgar also responded with a colder gaze, as if he had read the thoughts contained in Belcart’s gaze.
Derek exclaimed.
“Belcart! stop it! You are about to stage a carnage!”
“derrick. The act of being righteous without knowing the world is still the same. Do you think I am here without knowing what I am about to do?”
“Even if two leylines collapse, there are still leylines left! And all your men are dead.”
It was just as Derek said.
The Second Orders and Third Orders of the Black Dawn fought fiercely, but were unable to break the ley line.
“And the other side too. They would have been working at the same time, but there was only one place that exploded. Then the other one is that we blocked it.”
So surrender.
Derek warned.
Despite Derek’s warning, Belcart’s expression did not change.
“Do you know why I kept detonating bombs off the cliff?”
“Of course it’s to destroy the leyline, isn’t it?”
“That’s true, but not exactly for destruction. It would be nice, but the conditions in this land are difficult for that.”
Belkat stared at the place where the traces of the explosion were left with an incomprehensible gaze.
“The leylines here flow under the strange rocks of the cliffs. The leyline is located in a particularly deep place compared to other places. Did I do that to burst the leyline? no. The process so far was just the beginning.”
“what?”
“You will think you have stopped me. But is it really the right thing to do?”
As soon as Belkat finished speaking, the entire cliff began to shake.
Right after that, everyone in the room felt that something was slowly rising from below.
A weak but bluish mist began to flow from the craters where the traces of the explosion remained.
It was a leak of some mana flowing from the leyline with high-density magical power.
Derek put on a puzzled expression, but realized that the leyline hadn’t completely collapsed yet.
“This is fine. It’s not even critical yet.”
“I guess so. However, the cliff reached a critical point right in front of us. What would it be like if magic landed here?”
“what?”
“Until then, I stayed still to save energy, but now I don’t have to.”
Belkat floated into the air with floating magic.
He looked down at the 50 wizards and knights and declared.
“From now on, I will use all my strength to destroy that bluff.”
As if it wasn’t just a verbal warning, a huge magic power began to wriggle around Belkart.
“Let’s try to stop it somewhere.”
“Oh no!”
It was an attack by a 6th tier wizard. Fighting him like that is crazy.
If 50 people gathered here fight in harmony, there is a possibility.
But the problem was their location.
A bluish mana was seeping out from the gap in the cliff.
As such, the leyline here is in a pretty precarious situation.
To fight a 6th tier wizard in a place like that?
This side has to be protected, but on the contrary, there is nothing to hold back from that side.
They have an advantage in numbers alone, but everything else is against them.
It should be blocked.
Just as Derek thought so and was about to make a decision, someone attacked before him.
A single flash of light soared into the air.
The flash of light that contained a huge amount of heat was not just a dazzling light, but a cannon that pierced everything.
Realizing that it was Ludgar Celishi who opened it, Derek widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide at the sight of Belcart blocking the attack as if he had waited for that to happen.
A huge amount of light collided with the shield, split into several branches, and soared high into the sky.
When the wizards were distracted by the sight, Ludger sighed.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t drive me away.”
The wizards, who came to their senses at those words, began to develop a spell to attack Belcart.
Belkat wasn’t watching it quietly.
While blocking Ludger’s continuous attacks, he simultaneously performed other spells and created magic around him.
This method is often referred to as double casting.
Since the current defense magic was maintained first, the magic that switched to attack had no choice but to be simplified.
Belkat replaced it with a massive mana punch.
A simple discharge of magical energy, and a method of creating orbs of magical energy and dropping them without shooting them.
However, the amount of mana contained in that magic ball was only possible when a fair amount of wizards squeezed it out for a long time.
It was obvious what would happen if that thing crashed over the cliff.
“Stop!”
“Use defense magic!”
The wizards waiting below hurriedly performed defensive spells.
They gathered their mana and spread a shield where Belkart’s magic sphere fell.
Immediately after, the shield and the magic ball collided, creating a huge shockwave.
Surprisingly, the battle between nearly 40 wizards and Belcart ended in a draw.
The magic orb and shield disappeared at the same time.
But the wizards felt it.
Unlike this side where I was out of breath by barely blocking it, Belcart’s expression was calm as if nothing was wrong.
The difference in level was so great.
“Don’t panic! If we get out of here anyway, everyone will die!”
Barencina’s aura-infused voice reverberated across the cliff.
Those words awakened the spirits of the frightened wizards.
“I will stop you! Everyone, focus on holding on!”
Barencina rushed towards Belcart.
Belkat, who uses floating magic, is high in the air.
Of course, it is a distance that cannot be reached by simply jumping.
Then Derek used his magic.
A huge stone pillar rose obliquely. Barencina stepped on a stone pillar and approached Belkat.
“Is it a high-ranking knight?”
Belkat could tell from the amount of aura in Barencina’s voice that she was a high-ranking knight.
If so, it cannot be dealt with with halfway defensive magic.
The most terrifying thing about knights was the power they possessed.
The stronger the aura used by the knight, the more the shield made by the magician will be torn like a piece of paper.
“If you block it before it approaches, it will stop.”
Belkat worked her magic.
A huge metal cuboid appeared from the air and fell towards Barencina.
It was a huge size with a side length of 3m.
Barenchina swung the sword imbued with a light purple aura.
The metal magic scattered to the left and right in two pieces, revealing a bright red cross section.
At that moment, a huge current hidden inside the metal was released.
“what?!”
Barencina was taken aback, but with an aura wrapped around her body, she stepped back as if doing a back tumble.
Immediately after, a wave of electric current swept the stone pillar she was standing on.
Belcart’s attacks did not stop there.
The two metals, emitting coils of intense current around them, moved freely and pressed Barencina.
Derek, who was watching from behind, shouted.
“Careful! Belkat is a master of metal magic and electric magic! It’s dangerous to approach it in a simplistic way!”
Even when Belcart was hiding his identity as Leslie, he was a wizard who skillfully used metal and electricity attribute magic.
In that field, Belcart was comparable to a high-ranking wizard.
Now that it was revealed that Belkat was actually a 6th tier wizard, it was impossible to guess how strong his main magic would be now.
Then Rudger stepped in.
Taking advantage of a loophole created by focusing on Barencina, Ludgar approached Belcart closely and brandished a staff containing magic power.
Belcart stretched out his right hand without panic.
Metal shards gathered in front of his open hand, and a sword was created.
Magnetar Sword
Caang!
The two weapons collided with each other.
Ludgar immediately retrieved the wand and tried to use the magic, but the wand stuck to Belkat’s sword and did not move.
“You shouldn’t wield metal recklessly in front of me.”
Before I knew it, countless metal spears were created around Belkat and shot at Ludgar.
* * *
In Felix City, the closest city to Kasar Basin, a series of abnormal phenomena have now occurred.
The wagon, which normally moved well, stopped, and the foggy weather became exceptionally clear.
Citizens were taken aback by the unusual situation and were greatly astonished that the white dome of the Kassar Basin in the distance had become paler than before.
But that wasn’t what really surprised people.
“Was there originally a mountain over there?”
There was a mountain that did not exist overnight.
If you were a person with good eyesight, you would have realized another fact.
That the mountain is still moving.
