Episode 440 Slave Trader (2)
Mian was very nervous at first.
When he was carefully examining the magic circle while pouring mana down his collarbone, he had to worry that mana runaway might happen.
Looking at the magic circle and seeing him not taking any action for over an hour, the tension had been diluted for a long time.
Mien’s patience gradually reached its limit.
“So when do you start?”
“Wait a little.”
“It’s already been over an hour! What will I do if I procrastinate like this and get discovered!”
She was worried that Chaeju might come into the room right now.
Hana Ray shook his head as if that would never happen.
There was no way that he, other than anyone else, could not notice Chae-joo’s presence.
Lay, who neglected Mien who was anxious, got up after another 30 minutes.
“I know roughly how mana passes, so let’s start soon.”
“…You wouldn’t say you thought it only in your head, would you?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve memorized everything.”
When he said that it was not his body, Mien screamed out loud.
“How many paths mana flows! I can’t even count the small details! At least pretend to write on parchment!”
Ray cleared his ears, letting go of her strong repulsion.
“You are very picky about the subject you said you would trust. Just sit there for a while.”
Mian was stunned, but sat silently in the chair.
The leather coat was removed, revealing her narrow collarbone.
Ray touched a few places and nodded in satisfaction.
“If we do well, it will end sooner than expected. I’ll start right away.”
As soon as he finished speaking, mana flowed through his fingertips.
Sweat ran down Mien’s back at his superior Mana.
Compared to before, if the mana load was strengthened and he was a babbling stream, he was like the sea so intense that he couldn’t dare fight against it.
fireflies and sun.
There was such a huge gap between the two.
It’s not like the great mage of the 6th circle, which is said to be the limit of human beings.
She recalled Ray’s understanding of magic and mana management, which were unmatched and abnormal.
‘Maybe… a person who did not learn black magic might have risen to the Lord. But is that really possible?’
In a way, general magic could be said to be difficult to pioneer compared to black magic.
Black magic was able to climb as long as knowledge and magic were satisfied until the 5th circle, but ‘enlightenment’ is indispensable for the general magic path from the 3rd circle onwards.
Therefore, in terms of the overall period, the path of black magic to reach the state of a great mage is overwhelmingly short.
Perhaps a Lord who has transcended humans.
The thought that someone who wasn’t even a warlock might have achieved that level created a bit of awe in her.
What she was thinking about, Ray focused on the magic circle’s resolution.
The sentence of slavery, in which mana spills and even avoids every attempt to catch it, was certainly not unusual.
‘Look at this.’
As if they were alive, they were intentionally avoiding mana, but they were only moving to places where the mana load was lethal.
good night.
Let’s see who wins.
Ray simultaneously moved mana from all mana rods in Mien to prevent the central mana that made up the slave crest from escaping.
Then, the slave crest, which had no place to escape anymore, began to oppose it.
Whoops-!
A crash occurred in Mana Road.
If Mien’s mana rod had been as weak as before, it would have been torn apart by the shock, but it was able to withstand enough thanks to Aira’s ultimate secret technique.
Ray pointed Mana.
And then, at once, he bumped into the slave crest.
Whoops-!
One side was breaking the slave crest, and the other side was turning mana and creating a new magic circle.
A magic circle with the exact opposite tendency of the slave crest.
It took me over an hour and a half to create it.
As soon as the completed magic circle began to operate, the movement of the slave crest gradually slowed down.
Every time that happened, Ray gathered mana and applied shock.
Whoops-!
After repeating it a few more times, the slave crest, which hadn’t budged, slowly began to crack.
‘done.’
Ray, who was excited, raised mana even more.
Within the limit that Mien’s mana rod can withstand, they collide with the mana that has been raised.
Kwaaaang—!
The slave crest that held her down was shattered in half.
As a result, the opposing magic circle exerted its power.
Woong-woong-!
The place where the slave crest used to be is replaced by a magic circle created by Ray.
The remaining half of the slave crests were mercilessly destroyed by the attack of the magic circle.
In the process, Mien felt a searing pain in her collarbone.
“Aww!”
She couldn’t bear to open her mouth and grunted, but before she knew it, she opened her eyes softly when Ray removed her hand from her collarbone.
When I looked at my collarbone, I could no longer find the imprint of a slave that was like a thorn in my eye.
Small tears welled up in her big eyes.
“De finally…”
This is the moment when the wish is fulfilled.
The moment when the restraints that bound her body and mind disappeared was definitely a touching moment that would remain in her life.
I feel like my body has become extremely light and free, even though nothing has changed from my previous physical condition.
My hands are light and my heart is light.
It looked like it would fly off somewhere if I stayed still.
Mien sat down in her seat and wiped away tears.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhfully he finally got there, I can finally save everyone…”
Ray let out a sinister laugh.
“Heh heh. thank you for what I really wish you well in the future.”
please be kind to me
“…”
Something is strange.
In the meantime, Ray’s wickedness, which he had seen so far, was lightly overwhelming the black room and the coalition.
There was no way that such a person would be polite when suddenly asking for a favor.
Mian became a little uneasy.
Just in case, I looked around my body for mana.
One odd thing was that it was nowhere to be found.
There is nothing that has changed, and on the contrary, it is more convenient to move mana than before.
But, then, what is that sullen, impenetrable smile!
At that moment, Ray smiled and said.
“say. what happened.”
When a low-pitched voice rang in her ears, she had no choice but to open her mouth against her will.
“The people of Yeo Yeongji and my family have been taken hostage. He said he would kill them all as soon as they violated the slave sentence.”
“who?”
Questions naturally followed.
Mien, who noticed the strangeness, tried to keep her mouth shut, but a voice came out before I knew it.
“A coalition of small kingdoms. The 7th Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Silia.”
“Hoo. I didn’t know there were remnants left in Celia. Was the fact that this wild vegetable was created by those behind the kingdom of Celia?”
“Yes.”
Ray nodded as if he understood.
I corrected the black room that had infiltrated Celia, but the people behind it still remained.
Did you say that the bottom of the lamp is dark?
While deceiving Celia’s eyes, they made a living vegetable in this outskirts, and were cunningly hiding their black feelings.
In other words, this small bandit sanctuary is the arrangement of the Small Kingdom Alliance to invade Celia again.
“You cute guys. You were peeling pumpkin seeds from behind?”
Perhaps, seeing that the leader of the knights was appeased, it was correct to assume that many other nobles were also appeased.
I think it’s time to prepare for the purge again.
Mian was embarrassed.
The slave crest must have disappeared, but the body did not move as intended.
‘No way…’
She looked at Ray.
“All of you… you didn’t make me your slave, did you?”
At that, Ray waved his hand as if it were nonsense.
“Slave is a bit harsh. I just made friends who don’t lie.”
In simple terms, it means that he was enslaved.
“Don’t worry, I’ll save Youngji. Of course, there is a lot of work left to do before that.”
“You cowardly bastard! After all, you used me!”
When Mien gritted her teeth, Ray was startled and swallowed the wind.
“Oh, if anyone hears it, it will be a big deal! If there is a good person like me who lives benevolently to others, come see me!”
The self-proclaimed man of men, and the other self-proclaimed world’s greatest scum, pounded on my chest.
“I was tricked… I was tricked by a more vicious guy!”
“Heh heh. Where can I call you master?”
“shut up!”
“Tsk tsk. Your mouth is really bad. Let’s use polite words from now on.”
The words of obedience came out of her mouth, which looked like she was about to spit out curse words.
“You bastard…yes!”
Minen clenched his fists.
He seemed to be muttering that he would one day see an opportunity and kill him.
After removing the slave crest from her and attaching a more powerful crest, Ray left the room.
“The slave crest must have been removed, and the background must have known. Let’s move slowly.”
“Uh… where… are you…?”
Ray pondered for a moment before answering.
“The place where the ‘guests’ of wild vegetables are.”
* * *
Chaeju and the old man, who had been drinking to the fullest, soon hid their presence and moved on.
The place they headed was ‘Goblin Lake’.
The old man couldn’t hide his surprise at the sight of the former swamp turning into a lake.
The water was clear enough to see all the way to the bottom, and it was hard to imagine that the past was a swamp.
“What the hell… you mean a saint came? Why did the color of the water look like this?”
“I’m sorry. We still have details…”
“Tsk tsk. Next time, be more careful and keep it. Magi poured into this place can destroy one small territory.”
“I will keep in mind. I’m sorry that the things below have caused you trouble.”
“If you know, if you know.”
The old man raised his decrepit hand and drew demonic energy.
Destructive demonic energy overflows in those wrinkled hands.
Then, the surrounding plants began to wither in an instant, and sticky moisture filled the son-in-law.
As the clear lake water glistened with a muddy glow, smelly flying insects and beasts rushed around.
“Diseases will run rampant in the land I cursed. Disease.”
When the warlock who reached the Lord cursed it, the fertile land quickly turned dark red.
The damp roots of the trees rotted away, and an unpleasant smell surrounded the surroundings.
The lake has turned into a slimy bog.
The deliciously dangling fruits fell to the ground one by one, and flying insects protruded from them.
The old man laughed happily, as if he was satisfied with his own magic.
“Cluck. It’s worth seeing now.”
