Episode 496 The Blue Wizard (2)
The black skull that was burning with green flames froze.
It’s not like it’s just frozen in frost. The blazing green fire itself was entirely encased in ice.
A sight as if a living specimen had been immersed in a piece of transparent glass.
Casey raised her head at the unreal sight, as if time had stopped.
All the streams of water that Casey pulled up from the sea and spread around them were frozen solid and turned into ice sculptures.
Snowflakes fell through the cracks.
It was Marias Selmore who landed much lighter than that, with the snowflakes rustling down.
under.
Casey licked his lips.
“What are you doing now?”
“Besides here, there are other places to take care of.”
“Chit. If you are coming, please come sooner.”
Despite her words, Casey quietly admired Marias’ ability to freeze all the water.
‘It’s all frozen in an instant. Besides, that black skull that I had a hard time subduing was so easy.’
Of course, the guy lost a little bit of strength while fighting himself.
But even taking that into account, he was strong enough. He made up for the lack of firepower by absorbing the mana of Carloto’s apprentice.
However, Marias subdued such a guy at once as if to show off.
‘Even though they’re wizards with the same color title, I never thought they’d still be this far apart.’
He thought he had gotten stronger, but Marias was still more than that.
It’s not to the extent of looking up at it as far as it used to be. I could see with my own eyes what my sister’s level was.
Even so, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
‘If I had to fight with my sister, I would be defeated in the end.’
Although Marias has a higher control over the elements than herself.
Above all, the biggest reason was that the compatibility was not good.
Casey’s dealings are ultimately limited to water.
However, Marias handles ice. And it was cold.
No matter how much water this side fetched and used, Marias could freeze it all and make it her own.
‘Still, I have no intention of giving up.’
The taste of defeat was enough now.
He also keenly felt that he had only relied on talent until now.
So in the future, I thought I would never taste the same failure as before.
“Huh.”
Marias watched Casey through his narrowed eyes as he clenched his fists.
Perhaps you are not aware that you are over-exciting yourself.
Marias didn’t bother to blame it.
Rather, I felt like giving a compliment.
‘My younger brother has grown quite a bit after living in the world.’
I am not as irresponsible for my idealism as I used to be, and I have learned to face the reality in my own way.
Surprisingly, there was a corner of naivety, so I wondered what would happen if I just lived with it, but looking at it now, it didn’t seem like that.
‘But right now I’m going to care more about other things than my younger brother’s growth.’
Marias’ eyes turned to the black skull.
He was trapped inside the ice with all the green flames, but he wasn’t dead yet.
shiver.
The surface of the ice became mushy and water streams began to flow.
Quaching!
A black skeleton broke through the ice and popped out, bursting with green eyes.
Roaring!
As if to express his anger, the guy created a fierce flame.
It was splashed with water and even frozen in ice.
There was no humiliation like this for a guy who started flames with hell magic.
But at the same time, the guy handled it cleverly.
The reason was that he didn’t run straight toward Marias.
“Oh my goodness.”
Marias read what the black skull was thinking in the momentum of the black skull.
“Looks like he was just born, but he already knows how to keep his head running.”
It was said lightly, but it was never meant to be taken lightly.
Apparently, he’s been there to destroy everything since he was born.
Kill, burn, and leave only ashes.
The smell of death wafted from the magic.
But the more dangerous thing was that he had intelligence.
What if forest fires had a will?
What if they knew how to even engage in deception and psychological warfare against humans?
The damage will be several times or even dozens of times greater than normal natural disasters.
And the black skull in front of my eyes.
It was far more dangerous than wildfire with a will.
To the point where I had to subdue it at once.
“I’m sure we’ll see the end here.”
Even as Marias said that, she glanced around.
Two people who were supposed to be there were nowhere to be seen.
One is Carloto’s first apprentice who is still alive.
The other was Ludgar Celish, who had been fighting a moment ago.
‘Did one run away and the other chased after him? Good judgment.’
Staying here would only be a hindrance.
“Casey. Will you step aside?”
“…to deal with it alone?”
“huh. Maybe it’s because I’ve been sitting for too long lately, so I need to warm up like this once in a while.”
“ha. okay.”
Casey meekly withdrew.
If Marias made such a firm statement, it would be rather difficult to watch from the sidelines.
You can do it if you want to.
But that person will have to endure the harsh winter that will follow.
‘Even I don’t like being cold.’
Considering the level of that skeleton, Marias would also have to use quite a bit of strength.
Considering the scale of ice magic she uses.
Its scope was not limited to the vicinity of this distribution warehouse.
“I’ll tell the agents too.”
“okay. please.”
Marias waved goodbye without looking back at Casey as he left.
Marias’ eyes were always fixed on the black skull.
“Then, where shall we fight?”
Hwareuk!
The moment the Black Skull tries to run away right away.
Quagmire and light!
Countless huge ice pillars fell from the sky.
“It can’t be done.”
Arousing mana, beckoning, or swinging a staff.
There were no such precursors.
With only willpower, he created dozens of giant ice pillars in the air and pinned them to the ground.
In addition to the destructive power of the huge mass and sharp ice, there was even a cold chill to the bone.
“You can’t take one step out of here.”
The Black Skeleton, who barely survived in it, felt a chill.
that man is dangerous
* * *
Carloto’s first pupil, Delmart, ran without looking back.
‘damn. damn!’
After the master died, his corpse became a monster, and all the disciples who learned magic under him died.
But there was no sadness.
In the first place, there was no such thing as colleague animation or friendship among black magicians.
Although he was the first disciple, he was fully aware that he would be kicked out immediately if his skills failed.
But isn’t that what everyone says when they’re fine?
Now that everything has collapsed, Delmart had to run to survive.
‘I have to take refuge somewhere.’
I don’t know what the green monster really is, but it’s clear that it’s aiming for the hell magic it holds.
Didn’t you see with your own eyes that the second guy was completely deprived of his mana without any resistance?
If he had stayed there, it would have been his turn next.
‘It’s fortunate that there is a hideout prepared for escape in case of this situation.’
After evacuating there, I thought of looking at the situation and then running away to another place.
It was unclear what to do next, but at the same time, Delmart saw this as an opportunity.
‘Master is dead, and all the other disciples are also dead. I am the only one who survived That means I’m the only survivor of the Fel Magic School.’
what is unique
After all, it was the best in this field.
Of course, compared to Carloto, he was lacking, but he had already learned everything theoretically.
With enough time, he could have become stronger than Carloto.
‘I can bring the Fel Magic School back to life!’
It was not a pure zeal to keep the school alive.
Desire and anticipation that you can become the best.
That made Delmart dream of the future even in this uneasy situation.
However, Delmart overlooked one fact.
That the shadow of fate always catches someone’s ankle in this part.
“uh?”
Delmart felt his body lean forward.
Regardless of his will, the fallen body rolled heavily on the floor.
“Why why.”
Delmart belatedly realized that both of his ankles had been cut off and let out a shrill scream.
“Hey! my my leg! Oh what happened!”
Delmart produced magic while shedding tears in pain.
Someone cut off their own ankle. So there will be enemies around.
One thought that bites its tail at the same time.
Didn’t you see this method a while ago?
His shadow on the floor rose like an awl and pierced Delmart’s palms.
“Aagh!”
Because of the pain, the infernal magic that was barely raised was dissipated.
With his legs cut off and both arms restrained, Delmart looked like an insect specimen.
“You’re busy running around in the middle of the night.”
Then, with the sound of footsteps, a man appeared in the darkness of the alley.
“You, you…”
Seeing Rudger, Delmart’s face turned white as if he had faced a grim reaper.
that’s the guy The magician who killed all the students under him and turned Master into a monster.
That monster has finally come to catch himself.
Delmart realized instinctively.
That guy wasn’t like an agent of the Ministry of Magical Intelligence.
He was more terrifying than himself, who rolled and rolled over the mud that was far more terrible than that.
“Buy and save…”
“It will depend on what answer you give.”
Rudger stood in front of Delmart, who had lost even the will to resist.
“If you faithfully answer the questions I ask, I can turn a blind eye to sending at least one of you secretly.”
“Ask me anything!”
Delmart was quick-witted.
Being a cheeky sorcerer here, whatever he did, he only increased the pain inflicted on him.
“It’s good that the story is comfortable.”
Rudger snapped his fingers.
Then, a warm light appeared on the wound on his ankle, which had been severed, and the bleeding stopped.
Seeing that, Delmart trembled.
I don’t know what kind of power it is, but it’s not the sex law, but it healed my wounds.
To Delmart, Rudger now looked like a monster beyond common sense.
“I know that your Fel Magic School resided in Isla Machina. Who the hell drove them to come here?”
“That’s… we don’t know either.”
“You don’t know?”
“Gee real! They appeared out of nowhere one day. I don’t know where they’re hiding, but the other schools of warlocks have been helpless. There was no time to resist!”
“Are you saying there’s nothing suspicious about their identities?”
“yes yes. ah! ha one thing! There is one thing!”
If you finish answering like this, you are admitting that you are useless.
Delmart squeezed as much of his memory as possible and recalled one thing.
“what?”
“I heard this too, but I remember it because it was so unique. At that time, strange people appeared and fought against us warlocks, and it is said that one of them was unusual.”
“A weird guy?”
“A knight in armor. He put on a hood, but he said he couldn’t hide the black armor underneath.”
“It’s black armor.”
Rudger muttered softly at Delmart’s words.
“Is it like that too?”
A series of events taking place in Isla Machina.
The Black Dawn was involved in it.
Even the First Order himself.
‘Night Berom. The fact that he moved must mean that Isla Machina is plotting something.’
As far as Ludgar knows, Berom is a melee swordsman who gained great strength by wearing relic armor.
Even if such a person led the people and rose to power in a place overflowing with mages, could he have established himself successfully?
‘Besides, judging by Berom’s behavior at that time, it seemed that he preferred to go alone.’
Even when I collided with Berom once, it was because of Victor Dreadful.
Then again, is it related to Victor?
‘There’s nothing strange about that mad scientist doing anything there. However, even Victor is not suitable for manipulating people and increasing his power.’
just one person.
There was one guy who could handle it just fine.
‘Nikolai.’
Tricky information warfare behind the scenes.
If he was good at all of that, it was no surprise that he had been preparing for a long time at Isla Machina.
‘Then why are they doing such a thing in Isla Machina?’
Rudger shook his head.
Were they the ones who would do that while figuring out why in the first place?
What’s important is what they’re up to on Isla Machina.
Isla Machina was an important place for Ludger as well.
“Yes. I heard the answer well.”
“Then…”
Delmart looked up at Ludger expectantly.
However, he had no choice but to turn his head to the side with his eyes wide open.
It was because the sword stick he pulled out had cut through his carotid artery.
In the first place, Rudger had no intention of letting him live.
The moment when Rudger, who had destroyed all the evidence, was about to leave.
“What are you doing?”
I ran into Casey, who was staring at me in disbelief.
