Episode 634 Growth (8)
Around the time when the relief army gathered under the command of the Hafman Merchant Head headed for the Principality.
In the Kingdom of Silia, a number of people joined forces to gather troops.
At first, there were numerous disagreements over who should lead the troops.
When discussions continued day and night, and even to the point of revealing hostility, Philia stopped everyone and offered a good opinion.
It was the opinion that the forces should be united, but the troops should be commanded by each other.
No one thought disapprovingly.
After all, it was better than having a useless person chosen as the commander and intercepting the ball.
Philia, who was commanding the forces of the Kingdom of Gleiman, looked around and tilted her head.
“It’s strange… I’m sure this area is right…”
“Is something going on?”
When the knight commander asked, she pointed to the map and said.
“If you look at the topography, the path we took is correct. But it’s strange that I haven’t seen a shadow of a monster until now.”
At those words, the knight commander laughed haha.
“ha ha ha. What kind of monster would want to die when an army of this size is advancing? The corps commander is very worried.”
It would be nice if that was true.
It was unclear that there were signs of wild beasts even after pouring mana from earlier, but only signs of monsters.
‘Someone who came first subdued the monster…’
The possibility is quite high.
The news that the relief army of the Hafman’s Mercenary has been dispatched is already known to everyone.
It would be explained if they said that they went one step ahead by subjugating the monsters.
Selena approached Philia, who had been struggling for a long time.
Having reached the level of the 6th circle with a female body, they have a way of communicating with each other, and in the past few days, they have gotten along quite well.
Selena spoke to her, who was always looking at the map with a dark face.
“Is something wrong? Just look at the map from earlier…”
“Ah… no. I was just checking to see if I had gone the wrong way.”
“Ho-ho-ho. The army commander too. You are worrying for nothing.”
Selena reached the peak at a young age, but like all young people, she laughs hard.
Seeing that, Philia smiled brightly as she felt a bit embarrassed.
“Because I have a worrying personality. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
“Never mind. More than that, it’s strangely quiet since yesterday… It’s like the monsters are hiding. My alarm magic, which I worked hard to set up, didn’t ring after all…”
Come to think of it, while camping last night, Selena had magic all over the place.
Even though there are sentries, the ferocity of the monsters is even more active in the middle of the night.
Nevertheless, it was hard to believe that he hadn’t seen a single common orc so far.
“Did the other saviors subjugate the monsters? But for that to happen, it would be normal to see at least one or two corpses.”
When Selena’s opinion matched exactly with her own, she soon opened up about her feelings.
“It’s definitely award-winning. To think that he cleaned things up so neatly while dealing with the monsters in the mountains… It’s a difficult task with about 12,000 troops.”
In a situation where the war is in full swing, who would be disposing of the corpses of monsters?
Under her common sense, it was a sound that could not be understood.
Selena also nodded.
It is said that the bodies of monsters are sold at a good price, but now the situation is comparable to a war between territories.
It was hard to believe that anyone would do such a thing without being frankly crazy.
Selena, immersed in deep thought, said with an ‘ah’ sound.
“Isn’t that what the Holy Son did?”
“A saint?”
“yes. With that enormous magical power, you could burn the monsters without a trace.”
“Ha, but if that level of magic was manifested, some remnants of magic will remain.”
At Philia’s words, Selena shook her head slowly.
“Didn’t the corps commander personally see the work of the Seongguk a few years ago?”
“…”
“When the saint took out the heart of the dragon, did you notice the saint’s mana suppressing demonia?”
At that question, she shook her head.
A few years ago when I was in the Holy Kingdom.
Seeing the demonic energy exuding from the dragon heart, I was at a glance embarrassed.
It’s a dragon heart you’ve only heard about in storybooks.
No matter how much it was already a dead heart, the one the saint was holding was at best a corpse with a small amount of demonic energy.
But when the heart leaves his hand.
I still can’t forget the waves of the shaking magic.
It was a shock as if the circle in my heart had stopped for an instant.
My hands and feet trembled only from the aftermath that spewed out, and my head turned white like a sheet of paper.
What would Selena do if she even tried it with her own hands?
“When the Holy Son takes his heart away. I didn’t even feel the flow of mana suppressing demonia.”
After a pause, she spoke again.
“The saint’s magic is somehow different from ours. From magic formulas to manifestations. No, something fundamental was different. Otherwise, you won’t be able to move mana while avoiding our eyes.”
Mana Load.
The ‘management method’ that helps to create it and attract mana is literally a secret.
Even in the Kingdom of Gleiman, which has produced outstanding wizards of all time, some of the upper level wizards are different, but the lower level wizards learn mediocre third-rate operations.
For a magician, his life depended on not being discovered what kind of magic he was using and trying to manifest.
That ‘vision’ has been developed over time and passed down in secret.
They are proud of themselves and have learned a vision that is not ashamed of their status.
But despite that, he couldn’t even detect mana, so the collapse at that time was indescribable.
As Philia’s complexion hardened, Selena brushed her hands and tidied up.
“If it’s what the saint did, it can’t be helped. For us, it’s an advantage because we don’t have to encounter monsters needlessly, right?”
“That’s right…”
“Is there a need to think hard? For now, let’s just think about arriving safely at the principality.”
Talk and fold your arms in a friendly way.
It’s probably just trying to lighten the mood.
Philia, whose complexion had hardened, laughed at her unexpected charm.
Selena is like a younger sister.
Although the environment in which I have lived is different and the country where I am located is different, there was a part that somehow touched my heart.
“is it so. It’s not clear, but if it’s what the saint did… it’s not that I can’t understand it.”
He’s not very human.
If his prestige was so high, he would have even issued an order to subdue him no matter what in the Kingdom of Gleiman.
In reality, the Leven mercenary corps subdued the monsters that rushed at them day and night, swallowing bloody tears, but they thought of them as the achievements of saints before they knew it.
A road without a single monster.
The footsteps of the other saviors were endlessly fast.
* * *
Caang-!
Turong-!
“…”
Every time they clashed swords.
Sandal’s sword bounced back.
Sandal did not let go of the sword in his hand until his grip was torn and his joints were tattered.
After facing the sword for a while, Ray spat out.
“If you want to hold a fork with that hand, you’d better stop now.”
“…”
He is still a silent guy.
It was embarrassing because he was aggressive when he swung his sword at a subject he didn’t answer.
Sandal, who tore off his collar and tied his wrists tightly, still pulled out the same sword strike as the first one, even though he was soaked in blood.
Boooooooong-!
A greatsword as huge as his body cut through the air.
Daeju, who was only trying to escape from the back in time, manifested magic.
“Dark spear! Born crusher!”
“Cold the child.”
Originally, it is a magic that breaks bones.
Rey, who was perfectly fine even after being hit properly, avoided all the ink-colored spears by slightly kicking the ground.
It seemed like he was looking for that moment.
The greatsword that had been thrown swung around and slashed at the waist with terrifying speed.
Kwaaaang-!
Ray, who swung his sword in the air to block it, shook his tingling grip.
‘Basic physical strength is good.’
Strength and stamina are supported, so even if you don’t have mana, your sword will carry a terrifying experience.
In addition, I don’t know why, but every time the sword collided, mana was shaking, so it wasn’t easy.
If he grows up properly, he will become a really big guy.
Maybe to the point where he could compete with Zeke.
The more I face the sword, the more I covet it.
Ray deliberately continued the battle for a long time.
“Why does someone like you have enemies in the Demonic Church? If I wanted to, I could have become a knight in a decent kingdom.”
At those words, Sandal reacted a little.
flinch-!
A momentary hesitation.
It wasn’t Ray who wouldn’t notice that.
Ray, who was still on the defensive, suddenly switched to the offensive.
Like a brook flows leisurely.
Naturally taking the offensive, he swung his sword.
Quaang-!
Kwaaaang-!
with a rough sword.
The sword, similar to Sandal’s, had the same strength as a mountain.
once twice.
Every time the swords meet, Sandal’s huge body shakes as if an earthquake had occurred.
I have to see the end now.
Ray struck the sword with more force than before.
Sandal, who was already exhausted, seemed unreasonable to accept.
However, he did not disappoint and persevered tenaciously.
Chaeeng-!
Ray, who thought he would collapse from this one move, changed his mind after Sandal persevered.
He’s a guy who just can’t be tired.
Until you can’t open your eyes.
Push until you can’t stand any longer.
Only then will the sword be released from his hand.
When he changed his mind, mana naturally erupted from Ray’s entire body.
“Heh heh. How long has this been?”
Mouth is salivating.
Talents that are hard to find are lined up in the black room, so all you had to do was pick out the ones you liked.
Whether you know his impure(?) thoughts or not.
Dae-joo was very nervous at the completely different momentum from before.
