Chapter 158. Find Oscar 2021.08.07.
Even though he drew his sword, passers-by idly passed by as if Oscar was invisible. Oscar raised his senses to the utmost sharpness and was wary of his surroundings.
‘Is this… magic?’
I felt the energy of magic so thick that I wondered why I hadn’t noticed. I was careless. It was a mistake I would never have made normally. It was my mistake to think too deeply. It seemed that he was trapped in a magic barrier applied with some kind of fantasy magic. It was a high-level magic that concealed the appearance and presence of the fisherman so that the people around him did not recognize it. If I didn’t enter the casting range, I wouldn’t have been caught, but I’ve already entered.
‘Pafe must be difficult.’
It was not easy to get out of the caster’s realm. It would be easier to destroy the magic barrier outside the barrier. However, no one will be able to discover the magic barrier that has already been created. The presence of both the caster and the caster must have been completely erased. Before even starting, Oscar lost the advantage to his opponent. But he did not lose his composure. As long as the purpose was not known, there was room for negotiation.
“…Who is it? Make an appearance.”
“Nice to meet you, Prince of Ermano.”
The ones who showed up were a group of 10 or so with their entire bodies covered in jet-black robes. In addition to the plain robe, to make matters worse, her face was not visible, so her true identity was unclear.
“What is your purpose?”
Sword energy slowly rose in Oscar’s blade. Then the one who seemed to be the owner of the voice stepped forward.
“I think it’s useless to inform the hostages of the purpose, Prince.”
The voice was a young man, but the voice was also unreliable because he was hiding his identity.
“hostage? Are you going to kidnap me?”
“this. You told me your purpose.”
Unlike the tense Oscar, the other person was very relaxed. Oscar was sure that the other person was playing tricks on him. Everything was in favor of the enemy. To them, Oscar was already a rat in a poison.
“Even if we rebel, won’t we just lose strength to each other? Let’s go together, Prince.”
“If you knew I was going with you, your preliminary research would have been poor.”
Oscar had no intention of fitting in with their bullshit. Situation assessment is over. Enemies with unfathomable strength and a magical barrier surrounding them. The results were self-evident. will lose with high probability. But Oscar never learned to surrender easily. We fight even if we see disappointing results. As long as you have a sword in your hand. no, even if there isn’t.
“It is mutually comfortable to surrender.”
The other person muttered a pity and raised his hand.
‘Are you trying to use magic?’
should not give a gap. Oscar lowered himself and quickly dug into the enemy. drew the sword Quaang!
“Kuk.”
An invisible and transparent barrier was created to block Oscar’s attack. Being unable to cut through even swordsmanship meant that the opponent’s magical power was strong.
“You are pretty good at it. I think it could have been dangerous if I had practiced it a little more, Prince.”
bang! Oscar responded with an attack instead of an answer. However, the opponent’s mana management skills were formidable. Even Oscar’s swinging his sword was difficult to chase with the naked eye, but the opponent blocked them all.
‘What is it?’
No matter how many times they exchanged battles, the hem of their robes didn’t fray in the slightest. There was nothing Oscar could get.
“shit.”
Children laughed and passed past Oscar, who struggled alone. Passers-by, oblivious to Oscar and his enemies, evaded them on their own. As if you met an obstacle. But it didn’t seem like he recognized it himself. Oscar narrowed his eyes. There was no way out of this situation at all.
‘If only someone would notice this-.’
shhh! Oscar cut off his thoughts and slashed the flying magic arrows. Is it fortunate that I still have a lot of stamina left? Had enough time to turn it off. However, there was no guarantee that anyone would be able to detect the barrier nearby just by wasting time. Power went into the hand holding the handle of the sword.
‘Mabel.’
Why does your face come to mind?
***
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about Oscar pretending to be okay.
“fool. You’re not walking around crying outside, are you?”
I wonder if this is how it feels to see a child left at the water’s edge. I couldn’t sit still at all. I opened the window wide and called the thugs in the sky.
[A white-headed man? saw it. In the central plaza.]
[No chirp. your eyes are rotten It was the mayor. Chirp.]
[Chip. I’ll devour your eyes.]
The pigeons had different opinions about Oscar’s location. I was worried about where the hell he was and what he was doing. Normally, he would still take an attendant with him or go out with other knights, but that didn’t seem to be the case today.
‘I told you not to go around alone.’
Baron is a cruel temper. For his own sake, he could even harm the other person’s family. So, even when I first revealed that I was the real guild master of the Evil Guild, I repeatedly emphasized safety-related matters. Of course, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but I thought it would be clear if I checked where I was and what I was doing. Aidan approached me as I sat on the edge of the bed with the Essence Core in my hand.
“The assimilation power is dangerous because it consumes a lot of divine power.”
“are you okay. Because it has a core. If I feel exhausted, I will stop right away.”
With the help of the core, it will recover quickly, so it will be okay to assimilate for a while. I closed my eyes while holding the core tightly in both hands. I felt an energy swirling inside me. It gradually amplified the energy and spread it widely around. I could feel the aura of the vibrant life spreading throughout the capital. I looked around the central square and the market with the eyes of crows soaring in the sky, but Oscar was nowhere to be found. In case it was in a place that could not be seen from above, I looked through the alleys with the eyes of the mice. But it was also not visible.
‘It’s not in town. Did he return to the duchy?’
I looked through the Donovan mansion just in case, but I couldn’t find Oscar.
‘There is no Oscar.’
There is hardly a place in this capital that is out of sight of animals. It hadn’t been long since he had left, so there was no way he had left the capital. In addition, Oscar was not so irresponsible as to erase his actions alone without saying a word. As soon as I opened my eyes after withdrawing my powers, I met eyes with Aidan who was watching me.
“Aidan. I have to leave right now. ASAP.”
After changing so that I could not be seen, I headed straight for the castle gate. Of course, I thought there would be no restrictions on entry and exit, but an unexpected stumbling block hindered me. The captain of the guard who reported that I was about to go out blocked my way.
“Does His Majesty Sang Sang know about the Emperor’s outing?”
“no. Is it necessary?”
“yes. If you want to leave, you must report the situation to His Majesty before leaving. It’s too dangerous to go stealth with one escort, Your Majesty.”
“I agree with the opinion that it is dangerous, Captain of the guard. But why does Jim, the emperor, have to get someone’s permission to go out?”
“But Your Majesty…”
Even the guard captain evaded his words as if he had no grounds for an excuse. Normally, I would have gone out with my father’s permission as the guard captain requested, without having to quarrel. I wouldn’t have thought deeply about whether that was procedurally reasonable. But in this situation, I could feel it even more painfully.
‘The fact that I am an emperor without any power…’
No matter how many people around me called me Emperor, I couldn’t become a real emperor. I didn’t even want that in the first place. Suddenly, I wondered if the choice was right. I passed the captain of the guard twice as tall as me.
“There is no time. I have to go out. As an escort, Count Aserad is sufficient.”
“your majesty!”
It was Aidan who stopped the guard commander who was hastily trying to stop me. As Aidan held on with his creepy spirit, the captain of the guard took a step back.
“Can I report the situation to His Majesty?”
“Do your will.”
If it had been a situation where Dad hadn’t known, he wouldn’t have tried to go through the gate in the first place. After coming out with Aidan, I tracked Oscar’s location through the animals by running on my own. However, the search was very slow as the animals outside the imperial castle did not know Oscar’s face.
“How could this be? Aidan What do you think? Did you go out of the capital?”
“I may have gone out.”
“how?”
“If you went out on horseback, you could reach the outskirts of the capital.”
stood tall There was one thing I was overlooking. I looked up at Aidan, who stopped after me. My figure was reflected in Aidan’s gaze, looking down at an angle.
“Aidan. Can I ask you a favor?”
“yes. Anything.”
“I’m going to use the Fairy Tale Power now, so will you protect me?”
The place where I set foot was not inside the imperial castle surrounded by escorts from all sides. Aidan was the only escort to protect me outside the imperial castle, which was full of dangers everywhere. But Aidan was trustworthy. I was able to entrust my safety because he would protect me no matter what.
“I’d be happy if you’d let me.”
“I knew Aidan would say that.”
I moved to the side of the road where there were few people, I held the essence core in my hand and closed my eyes. Due to the use of authority earlier, the divine power had decreased by half. In order to maintain Aidan’s barrier and prevent the body’s time from going backwards, it had to be finished quickly. The object of the last fairy tale. That was the horse Oscar rode.
“Please take good care of me, Aidan.”
“yes.”
I let go of control of my body as I felt strong arms wrapped around me.
***
No matter how well-trained the body is, there are clear limits to human stamina, and one day it will be exhausted. Oscar was acutely aware of this fact, and suddenly he watched the enemies surrounding him.
‘…I couldn’t believe they were all wizards.’
When Oscar’s resistance was stronger than expected, they showed off their hidden power. Scars appeared all over Oscar’s once-clean skin, and his stamina was exhausted. My cheeks were burning as if I had been scratched again. Oscar roughly wiped the blood with the back of his hand and gripped the sword.
“Do you still have the strength to hold out? Great.”
“It doesn’t look so good that everyone is coming forward to kidnap just one person.”
Oscar sarcastically pretended to be relaxed. But in reality, it was at its limit. It was difficult to even pretend to breathe, which had already risen to the chin. I just hoped that the other person wouldn’t notice that fact. However, the enemy was not so easy.
“I’d rather play like that now. Even if you look at it like this, we are quite busy bodies.”
Wizards from all over the world began memorizing their own casting words. There was no way he could block all the magicians’ attacks, not just one. If you are kidnapped like this, what will happen after that? Could it be that he is holding Mabel’s ankle? Oscar gritted his teeth and endured and endured to avoid collapsing. The last conversation with Mabel, which was not good, rang in my head.
‘I have to apologize to Mabel…’
He said it was because he was sad. It’s just a complaint, so just laugh it off. I want you to forget the tears. I had no idea that there were so many things to say. But I didn’t want to give up so helplessly.
‘Even if it’s just one guy, I’ll finish it.’
The chance was only once. Enemies had to be eliminated before they finished casting their spells. Oscar, who gave up on purpose as if he had given up on purpose, swung his sword and fired the sword. The direction was the man who was their focal point. Kwagwagak! The road was almost torn apart by the blow with all one’s strength. A thick fog of dust arose, making it difficult to secure visibility.
‘Is it?’
As soon as I thought that, attacks came from all directions. Oscar then realized that he had fallen into a trap.
‘I was aiming to attack!’
He attacked the gap when it was easiest to be vigilant. The posture was already collapsing, and there was no more energy to wring it out.
“Damn it…!”
It was just when Oscar despaired. Flash! Bright red eyes flashed in all directions. And.kiehek-! The beasts of the capital howled in unison.
