Episode 263
EPISODE.132
The former Raymond family head… It was during the war with the Empire that Russell lost his father.
Of course, in the process, the former Archduke Bismarck and the trap dug by the cultist played an important role, but anyway, those who took my father’s life were definitely the soldiers of the Empire.
Russell Raymond.
—A son who lost his father in the war against the Empire.
Marquis Mason.
—A father who lost his son to such Russell.
From that point of view, the meeting between the two men was indeed an unfortunate twist of fate.
“….”
“..”
A heavy silence fell between the two of them.
Chief Chaeng—.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
The frictional sound of metal colliding with metal, the sound of blades digging into people’s skin, etc.
There were still loud and eerie sounds echoing everywhere, but strangely, the atmosphere around the two people was quiet.
A sense of tension as if in a vacuum, as if even the air to transmit sound had disappeared.
Perhaps it is because the two men are pouring all their concentration towards each other.
Hwaaak-!
Mana and mana violently entwine, creating distortions in space.
The first to speak was Marquis Mason.
“Originally, I had no intention of participating in this war.”
“…?”
“It was a stinking war from the start, of course. If you don’t know what might be behind it, but if you hold it with one hand, how is it different from bupyeongcho, which is just being pushed around by the current? It’s stupid.”
Then, he stared at the cultists who saved their lives thanks to him and shook his head.
“I had no intention of saving those lowly things.”
Endymion and the Empire.
Marquis Mason, who was rumored to be an aristocrat from the enemy country, was a model of an aristocratic figure.
That’s why I couldn’t look favorably on the cultists who made fun of people’s lives and ridiculed the dead.
The way he spoke just before was like revealing his true feelings to some extent.
“But what can I do?”
A calm voice.
What Russell felt in it was suppressed anger.
boiling up
It has not come out of the core yet. Anger like magma on the verge of eruption.
“No matter how ugly others curse and point fingers, you are my only child.”
He wanted such a child to look good to the new emperor.
For that goal, I wanted to go out on the battlefield and make a contribution.
It was for this reason that he gave Boreas, the heirloom of heaven, to his son.
Although she had no intention of directly participating in the war, she hoped that her son would be safe.
When I heard the sad news that such a son had lost his life at the hands of the young grand duke of Endymion, how much my heart was full.
It seemed like the sky was collapsing.
It was because.
Knowing that he would incur the Emperor’s wrath, he did not participate in the battle and stayed behind, but finally stood on the battlefield.
“Oh, I must have been a long talker…”
Tsk—he clicked his tongue and straightened the bow that was hanging down.
Kwak-.
It is an old bow with ivory-colored finger stains on it.
It was also a bow that crossed as many lines of fire as the hand.
Its ability is not comparable to Boreas, the heavenly bow, but when you hold it, it calms your mind… A bow that gave him victory in many fierce battles.
If you borrow the word of the world, you should call it Ae-Byeong(愛兵) or Ae-gung(愛弓).
But why?
‘The bow’s string feels particularly heavy today.’
That’s probably because the young grand duke of Endymion is more dangerous than any strong men he’s ever met.
“I recognized myself a bit about the Grand Duke.”
Endymion’s young genius.
The greatest talent that has appeared in the world of magic since the Age of Gods.
From a person who was likely to threaten the empire in the future to a person who directly threatens the empire now.
There were countless adjectives that followed him.
‘It was a young lion. It is also a lion with very sharp claws and teeth…’
If it wasn’t for his son’s enemy, he would have been amazed at his outstanding talent despite being a talent in the enemy country.
He might have lamented over why such a talented person wasn’t born in an empire.
However, those things were pretty good.
Because of all those many adjectives, there was nothing that could stand between him and himself.
There is only one word that can stand between the two.
“Did you lose your father in the war with your home country?”
Kwaaaak-.
The time it took to pull the protest after risking the flesh was less than one second, literally a comma of several seconds.
In the moment when he couldn’t even breathe halfway through, he aimed at Russell and chewed and spat out in a determined voice.
“From the beginning, there was no conversation between the Archduke and I.”
────────────Peeing!!!!
“—Kuh!“
Truly an action!
The moment he pulled the string, Russell instinctively opened his shield at a speed that was already in front of his nose.
Wizard Body and Overlord.
He used two magics at the same time to strengthen his body.
A hexagonal magic shield created by placing hundreds of shields in an instant.
The magic shield overlaps again five times and collides with the arrow.
───────── Kwagwagwagwa!
At the moment of staggering, Russell’s body was pushed all the way from the spot with an explosion of drinking.
The distance that was pushed out like that exceeded hundreds of meters and approached the unit of kilometers.
Everything that existed on the pushed orbit is destroyed and evaporated.
All that remains is the earth, where the surface is peeling off and cracked open, exposing the inner flesh.
Quagmire!
It was only after colliding with a huge rock a few miles away that Russell stopped bouncing.
Quagmire and light -.
A ton of shards of smashed rock tumbled down, constantly threatening Russell’s head.
‘What kind of arrow…’
Russell stuck out his tongue as he pushed them away using magic.
‘heavy.’
It was the moment he realized that a single arrow could be heavier than the average sword master’s sword.
Besides, Archduke Mason’s bow wasn’t just heavy.
Phoebebebing-!
The moment he jumped out of the rock rubble, the arrows he shot rained down on Russell like a shower!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Staring at the rain of arrows covering all directions, Russell cast his magic.
high-speed rapid fire.
It was an arrow as fast as lightning, but Russell was not alone this time.
Even if it was an arrow as fast as lightning, Russell’s casting speed in battle was also not inferior to it.
Lightning Web.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
The moment I opened my grip with the blue magic light, a blue lightning bolt came out like a net.
Too deed deuk-!
Iron sand mixed in the sand in the area reacts to it and generates a magnetic field.
The magnetic field created in this way created a strange wave and attracted the rain of arrows as they flew.
A literal lightning net.
Bubbubuck!
The arrows twisted and strayed through the earth like a beehive.
At that moment, another magic prepared by Russell shines.
The fragments of the rocky mountain that had been smashed down were fired all at once like a siege weapon, drawing a parabolic arc and shelling the spot where Marquis Mason was standing.
Roaring!
The moment it passed through the huge ring of flame, the flames moved over the rock fragments that were drawing an arc.
The 9 circle magic passed down in the legends of the past!
Along with a scene that seemed to reproduce a meteor shower, paths of flame were carved along the sky.
The power may not be enough, but its range is comparable to that of anti-army magic!
Kwagwagwagwa!
The impact created by falling rocks made the ground dent and the
flames spread in all directions like a volcanic bomb exploded.
The imperial troops who were hit directly by him screamed.
“Everyone’s legs are crushed…!”
“I have a feeling in my lower body…”
“It’s fire! fire!”
Abigyuhwan or mayhem.
Because it was a little less powerful than Falling Sun, there were many people who suffered while surviving, and because of them, a picture of hell was drawn in an instant.
However, this level of attack could not defeat Marquis Mason.
It probably won’t even leave a scar. Russell was not unaware of this either.
That’s why I prepared the second magic!
dig up!
The magic lightning web I just activated.
The remnants of the lightning, which were thought to have been scattered after completing their mission, quickly gathered together and turned into a sword of lightning.
Two of them!
The blue sword strikes that were born in an instant split the space in an instant.
Quadruped!
The area through which the electric shock passed through is cut away in an instant and cracked like a chessboard.
Kwagwagwa!
A part of the earth that was cut off flew up into the air with an explosion.
7 circle anti-person magic plasma blade.
At the temperature of ultra-high voltage current, which is virtually no different from plasma, lumps of boulders and sand dust that were terribly burned here and there rose terribly.
However-.
‘Did I miss it?’
——The Marquis Mason, who was originally intended, quietly left the place.
‘Did he use the shock wave he created while shooting the arrow to get his body out?’
It is a movement in an unexpected way.
Is it because this is the first time he is fighting an archer who has reached the level of a superman? The response was only to go to Tokyo.
Of course, it was not only Russell who was surprised.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be this much, but at most it’s just a few scratches…’
Just a few sums.
He had only competed for that much, but Marquis Mason was also astonished by Russell’s response.
‘The most surprising thing is Thatcher.’
It’s unbelievably flexible and smooth handling for a mid-twenties.
It was an ability that could never be found in the plants in the greenhouse, where all they achieved was simply based on their outstanding talents.
‘It won’t be easy.’
‘Formidable and formidable…’
After reciting their evaluation of each other, Russell let out a short sigh.
Cloudy Ring.
Kwurreung-!
Along with the lightning strike, the lightning that extended from the left finger charged toward the sky in a straight line.
Solomon’s Crown
.
The mental power he had stored up in advance was pouring out, restoring the brain power that had been consumed in a series of battles.
‘Determining power manifested.’
Roaring-!
Russell, who had summoned the spear of fire, grabbed the spear of flame with his right hand.
‘Maybe… Depending on the situation, I might have to use a different type.’
After estimating the opponent’s strength once again, he opened his mouth.
“Why don’t we stop fighting each other?”
dragon-swallowed wizard
