Episode 130 All-out war with Proxia (6)
Iriel was running at high speed through the forest.
It wouldn’t be strange if there was a chase at any time.
It was even more strange that the saintess was running away but was not pursued.
In order not to leave footprints, they kick trees and move along the stream.
At this level, even if the chase follows, it will be able to buy some time.
Iriel, who was going back to Selonia, felt a sense of difference from a certain moment.
‘It’s too quiet.’
No noise except for the sound of running water or blowing wind.
You can usually hear the chirping of mountain birds, but it is so quiet that it is close to silence.
After going on like that for some time, Iriel could sense the strong force behind him.
I know without saying
That momentum is not something criminals can shed.
The exclusive property of those who are said to have transcended humanity.
It was a slightly different concept from dragon peers, but it was an absolute energy that only they could radiate.
As she expected, two elderly people appeared shortly after.
one male and one female.
On the outside, they look like an old couple without any strength, but in reality they are sword masters.
Iriel quickly came out of his hand and spewed out the blade.
Then, an aura blade came out of the old couple’s sword.
It seems that I have no intention of just passing by.
“Hall hall hall. If I had run straight ahead, I would have been able to escape more…”
“It’s a pity.”
Contrary to the worried tone of his voice, his life was thickly permeated.
Iriel laughed at that double appearance.
I guess that’s it.
No matter how much she herself was a saint, she couldn’t face two sword masters who would have reached an advanced level.
Let alone the upper class, even two middle class students are very difficult.
However, this did not mean that he lost his fighting spirit.
Iriel raised his aura-spouting hand and aimed it at the old couple.
“One of them. I guarantee that only one person will be taken as a road companion.”
“Hoo. If you can.”
After speaking, Iriel rushed at them.
Blessing is the fact that I walked while running away.
Her body with the blessing of the saintess was truly a yaksha.
The old couple easily blocked the attack that slashed the arm joint at a furious speed.
Caan-!
Aura blades collided with each other and sparks flew.
The amount of mana you have is never pushed back.
One problem was the quality of the Aura Blade.
The auras of the two, who had reached the advanced level of Sword Masters, boasted tremendous density.
The extreme skill of drawing a clear form and being able to handle it freely cut her divine power easily.
“Keugh!”
just one hit.
In addition, the one who did the first attack suffered a loss.
Shaking her hand once to relieve the anti-elasticity, she dodged the old man’s attack ahead of her.
A fierce swordsman slashed the spot where she had been.
Slow-!
Even though it clearly missed, there was a tremendous sound as if the air was being cut.
At that moment, Iriel felt a chill run down his back.
As I quickly roll my body to the ground, an aura passes behind me.
“Ugh!”
Iriel, who was about to die from a split spine, jumped up with a contemplative face.
The old lady looked surprised.
“That’s an amazing reaction speed.”
“The attack is also quite heavy. Hall hall hall.”
Iriel frowned at their unappreciated praise.
In the current situation, that is nothing more than a joke.
However, she couldn’t answer anything.
It was because their attacks were so perfect and fierce that it was almost a waste of time to breathe.
I could feel the hot blood gushing out of the cut on my back.
“Heal.”
The wound on her chant healed in an instant.
It was a look that could be mistaken for a magic swordsman.
However, this is possible due to the nature of mana called divine power.
Divine magic in a big way also included making aura blades.
In other words, Iriel’s aura took on a form close to magic.
The old couple began to press on Iriel again.
When the old man takes over the front, the old lady aims behind Iriel, who is concentrating on him.
It’s so simple, but it’s a different story if you’re a sword master doing it.
Iriel had no choice but to be pushed back by the attack, which was more annoying than most assassins.
I blocked it well and avoided it, so there were no major wounds, but as the number of small wounds increased, it was not too far off compared to the big ones.
Shortly after, her whole body was in a state of disrepair, and she glared at the old couple, gasping for breath.
Unlike myself, they do not show any residual scars on their bodies.
I couldn’t even buy time to heal my body because of the obvious difference in skills.
I had never thought of myself as weak in my life, but when I was pushed away like this, resentment flooded deep inside me.
The old couple did not stop attacking.
Iriel was only in a hurry to avoid the dizzying attack that surged like a wave without giving a single chance.
While Iriel, who had been avoiding and blocking the old woman for a while, looked away from the old woman, the old woman’s aura hit her neck.
“oh!”
As I managed to avoid it by spitting out empty wind, my body centered.
The body falls backwards, but the old woman’s blade is aimed at his heart from behind.
In fact, it couldn’t have been a perfect connection.
In an instant, her heart would split in two and a fountain of blood would spurt out.
Iriel saw everything around her as if time had stopped around her.
The so-called juma-deung.
‘Is this the end…’
The agitation in front of death was not as big as I thought.
On the contrary, it feels like nothing.
iced coffee. There are so many things I want to do before I die.
Iriel quietly closed his eyes.
However, just before he closed his eyes, he saw a white object moving in front of him at great speed, and his eyes widened.
It was a look she knew well.
Blue eyes in white hair.
The figure fluttering in the same holy clothes as himself was that of a saint.
The old man’s aura and the old woman’s blade shattered in an instant.
Kwaaang!
Shocked by the broken aura, the old couple vomited a handful of blood.
However, rather than the pain they felt, they were more curious about who else could break their aura.
But the culprit didn’t seem to have any inspiration from him.
Looking at her expression, which was covered with embarrassment, joy, and sadness, Ray stroked Iriel’s hair.
“Le Ray…”
Ray looked at Iriel and grinned.
“Good work. Leave it to me now.”
He looked at the old couple as he spoke.
There was a cold smile on his lips.
“Didn’t you let me live while I was gone? I’ve had quite a bit of trouble with that damn magic circle. Is that why I was a little angry?”
The old man laughed at his words.
“It’s really amazing that even that magic circle can only block it for a month.”
“I hear that a lot.”
As soon as Ray finished his words, the old woman and the old man burst into Ray’s side in an instant.
The two swords merge and stab at one point at the same time.
The auras overlapped in an instant, creating formidable destructive power.
“Shield.”
Caan-!
The old couple were quite embarrassed when their conversion blow was blocked by only 1 circle defense magic.
However, like a sword master, the agitation soon disappeared.
As if they had originally intended to do so, the two naturally began to attack.
However, no matter how many times they attacked, the translucent membrane showed no signs of breaking.
Rather, it was just that he was reluctant to smile deep inside the curtain.
Ray was feeling great pleasure from using mana now.
After living without mana for a month, I realized how uncomfortable life is.
But now that limit has been lifted.
The body is light and full of power as if it were about to fly.
I couldn’t feel bad in my best physical condition.
“Cancel.”
When he canceled the shield, the old couple rushed straight at Ray as if this was their chance.
The Aura Blade instantly grazed my neck and chest.
When the feeling returned to his hand, the old man called for joy.
‘Definitely entered.’
Since the head was cut off, the saint must have died instantly.
The elderly couple looked up and confirmed that he was alive or dead.
Contrary to their thoughts, however, he was alive and well, as if the attack had gone in properly.
The old couple nodded to each other as they saw him unable to get through the attack.
Now that this has happened, there is only one last option.
They gritted their teeth and quickly grabbed Ray’s arm.
Iriel was horrified to see that.
“omg! Mana Pressure!”
Since you’ve already grabbed my arm, there’s no way to get out.
The old man laughed at Ray.
“It’s been quite a while, but now it’s really over! Little boy!”
The old couple decided to raise their mana.
A ruthless mana flow occurred that even affected the surroundings.
Mana Pressure.
The amount of mana is opposed to each other, and the mana rod is torn from the side that is pushed out of the amount of mana.
No matter how much difference there is in skill, the amount of mana is absolute.
It was impossible for a young saint to beat the two old men who had been steadily accumulating mana through mana breathing for decades.
However, Iriel wasn’t frightened because he thought Ray would lose.
The old couple’s crazy behavior just sucked in vain.
Mana pressure against a great mage who can easily cast meteor? Even if the two old men went mad, it was clear that they were mad.
Ray looked at them and tilted his head.
“Ahahaha. What are you doing?”
Wow!
If the combined mana of the two old men is a small stream, Ray’s mana is like a great ocean.
Due to the incomparable quality and quantity of mana, blood flowed out of the old couple’s body in an instant.
“Aagh!”
“Aww!”
The blood seeping from their pores soaked their clothes.
He died without being able to hold on to his mind from the great shock.
Iriel couldn’t believe that even a high-ranking sword master didn’t dare to keep the lifeline.
Looking at the two who had self-destructed on their own, Ray clicked his tongue in amazement.
“Tsk tsk. So you should have known the opponent well and used it.”
‘That’s because you’re abnormal!’
Iriel barely swallowed the words that had filled his throat.
Right now, there are so many things I want to ask more than that.
Iriel forcibly raised his frozen body.
“Thank you for your help. But how did you know I was here?”
“I gathered information from Selonia. Thanks to that, I have a rough idea of what is going on now.”
“…yes?”
Even after gathering information, it was impossible to pinpoint her location as a saint.
Besides, how did you pick and find her alone in the deep woods?
Looking at her expression full of doubt, Ray smiled.
“You were on Mercury in Gehel. The enemy force called Proxia put the most troops into Gehelo’s entry, didn’t it? If you had stopped them in Gehel, it doesn’t matter because you would be safe in Gehel.
Iriel’s mouth hung open at Ray’s words without hesitation.
Iriel stuttered and said.
“But even so, you won’t be able to pinpoint where I will be, right? And if Gehel was in danger, reinforcements could have come, right?”
“that’s right. Reinforcements may come. However, the Seongguk is currently short of troops, so there are no troops to send to you. If there is only one army that can come, is it Eucliwood who organizes and moves independently?”
“is it so. If she came to Gehel, your thoughts were mere speculation. But how did you come to where I am with such confidence?”
“Euclidean is in Shillien. That means that Proxia has deployed troops to Shillien as well. In order to disperse the Holy Kingdom’s powerless forces again, they deliberately attacked Gehel and Silien at almost the same time.”
Ray continued.
“Seongguk fell for it and sent Eucliwood to Shillien as they wished. It’s so stupid.”
Famous strategists in the Holy Land quickly became idiots.
Iriel thought for a moment and then refuted his words.
“But if Proxia had intended to eat shillien instead of gehel, what Ray said now would have been a mere delusion?”
Ray nodded at her words.
“If Proxia had sent more troops to Silien, I would have gone to Silien.”
“….”
“But Proxia sent major forces to Gehel. That doesn’t mean that Gehel was the goal. Of course, your meager army will not be able to stop it, and you will run away. Because of your personality, running around in the woods needlessly trying to evade pursuit.”
Iriel got goosebumps at his confident answer.
Are you saying that this is the answer you came up with after all the calculations?
Is that possible as a human being?
With the certainty that you will find yourself in this nameless forest?
Whether or not he knew what she was thinking, Ray said as he looked at the setting sun.
“Now, Eucliwood must have arrived in Gehel too, right? I have to hurry.”
Iriel shook his head as he looked at him again with a nonchalant expression.
After all, a person who is not like this person should not be hasty to think with human standards.
