EPISODE.94
Where the hell did it come from?
All warp gates must have been paralyzed. Besides, what is the red and blue light that just appeared?
As several embarrassing questions swirled through his head, Akairum rolled his eyes with deeply sunken eyes.
According to the information, the place where Russell should be is the southeastern part of the continent. It was in the vicinity of the Great Forest and the Red Canyon.
Such a Russell leaped into space and appeared in this spot now.
If one was possible, I didn’t know if both were possible.
‘Maybe others will come back too.’
Yeomtapju and windowtapju.
It’s not comparable to the two, but Niccolo Machiavelli and Amelia Merwin were also strong, ranked at the top in Endymion.
It is clear that their plans will be disrupted if they return.
‘…’
Akirum looked around sharply to read the omens.
for a while too.
After confirming that the others were not visible, he swept his chest.
I muttered with sparkly eyes.
“The arrogant youngster of the flame tower—.”
A voice full of phlegm, like a growl of an animal.
It has to be.
Because he was also one of the people who had a bad relationship with Russell once.
Of course, the bad relationship was one-sided by them, but Akairum was not a great person to care about such a thing.
‘How disgraced I was after Jeron fell at the hands of that young bastard.’
He didn’t know the slightest bit about the safety or face of the fallen disciple.
All he cares about is his reputation and comfort.
‘Even after that, for a while, I was nervous about watching Master’s notice.’
I thought it was better.
‘If I take this opportunity and cut off his head along with the princess…’
It should be able to make up for the embarrassment of the day.
It was an arrogant thought that did not even consider the possibility of defeat.
It was worth it.
To Akairum, Russell was a magician of the 6th circle like himself, but that’s all.
‘Something like a novice with no experience in war.’
It was because he was a young bastard who couldn’t reach anything other than the level achieved by magic.
Having calmed the commotion, he straightened his posture.
“It’s been a while. Earl Raymond.”
I called out to Russell with a big smile on his face.
Turning his head at the call, Russell opened his mouth.
“I have a question for you. Archyrum.”
It is a voice that does not even show respect for seniors, let alone honorifics.
Akarum’s nose twitched and moved.
“Heh, I don’t even treat you like a senior…”
Russell cut him off before he could finish his words. It was a sharp attitude, as if it was not worth listening to.
“What did you do to Master?”
“…?”
“Blaine. What tricks did that guy do to Master?”
A voice filled with subtle anger.
‘No way. Daria Snowwhite. That monster must be Master…?!’
A warp gate created by the ring of Eros and Psyche. The words of Akairum, which I heard the moment I passed through that gate, kept floating around in my head.
‘I was guessing that something had been done, but…’
It was a word that made that guess a fait accompli. A fishy smile spread along the corners of Akairum’s mouth at Russell’s question, and he tilted his head as he let out a sly laugh.
“Well—?”
He crossed his arms with a triumphant expression and made a sarcastic remark.
“Is our relationship strong enough to tell you that?”
Fire-.
The flames that started under his feet start to rise like waves and increase in scale.
Soon after, confirming that the bottom of his feet was completely covered in flames, Akarum opened his mouth.
“I will subdue that bastard myself. So in the meantime…”
He ordered the wizards who followed him.
“…Let’s get the princess.”
* * *
As soon as Akairum’s name runs out, dozens of wizards rush at the princess at once.
Pababat!
Movement accelerated to the limit as if using Haste.
Russell’s eyes sank deeply as he checked the new model that was rushing in at high speed.
‘…4th circle and 3rd circle?’
They weren’t negligible, but they weren’t the ones that Russell should be concerned about either.
That would be the case, because there were still surviving Royal Knights and soldiers by the princess’ side.
‘I’ve summoned the dwarves of the flames, so the dustproof won’t be easily pierced.’
A wave of fire – a wave of flames attacks Russell who thinks so.
“How dare you think of something else in front of me. You have good guts!”
The waves of flame rushing in at once split into two sides and turned into pyrotechnics, immediately wrapping around the place where Russell stood.
Roaring!
The candlesticks hanging on both sides of the Guinevere Palace begin to melt at once from the scorching heat.
It was so hot that even marble would become soft!
If he had been hit directly, he wouldn’t have been fine, even if he was Russell. However, Russell had already left the spot.
fault!
“Hut!”
Russell spread Blink and jumped in front of Archairum at once, releasing the magical power he had condensed in his hands.
The shock wave that occurred with the explosion hit Akairum’s new model.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“A spoiled bastard…”
Arkairum, who blocked a direct hit from the shock bolt by staggering the seven shields, growled fiercely.
When I raised my head, I could see the scenery around me that was completely different from before.
Apparently, he was standing at the entrance on the first floor of Guinevere Palace just a moment ago, but his new model was pushed to the garden before he knew it.
‘They’ve changed the location to a suitable place for a battle.’
I didn’t know what would happen if the two Tower Master level mages fought inside the palace.
“Are you saying you can use magic with peace of mind here?!”
Akairum shouted and instantly raised his magic power. It was the same for him that the restriction of indoors disappeared.
Quaaaaaaaa!
The six circles rotate in unison, scattering magical energy in all directions.
Sparks fly in an instant, and flames start to spread throughout the half-destroyed Guinevere Palace.
Roaring!
Amidst the flames all around, he held out his fist. An incandescent light bulb is fired from the fist and burns the surface in a straight line.
The 5th circle magic, Blaze Cannon.
It was a fire-type magic that Russell and other brother-in-law also liked to use.
However, the Blaze Cannon, which was reconstructed in the hands of Akairum, was far beyond its limits!
detonation.
The air burned before the sound spread, and Russell held out his fist facing the huge heat rushing in in an instant.
Blaze Cannon to Blaze Cannon!
Gugwagwagwagwa!
Two flames collide and the aftermath of the explosion rises to the end of the sky.
“Kuh-.”
In the aftermath of the shock, Russell groaned and took two steps back. Seeing that, Akairum let out a fishy laugh.
‘The casting speed is quite good, but the firepower is still lacking compared to that.’
It was the difference between himself, who added a formula to improve the power even though it was the same 5 circle magic, and Russell, who did not.
Perhaps the fact that the casting speed was quite fast was also because one more formula was missing compared to his own.
‘…Then I’ll press it down with firepower.’
Once it finds a weakness, it bites at that part relentlessly.
His eyes flashed like snakes, and his arms fluttered rapidly.
Archerum.
Originality.
Red Viper’s Duet.
Tsutsutsutsutsut-.
Following his gesture, two huge cobras of flame rose from his hands.
He raised his head and flicked his red tongue.
The moment he shakes his hand.
Quagga Gagagak!
Two snakes swim through the air at high speed and fly towards Russell like a flash battle!
The tip of it was still connected to Akairum’s hand, moving as if it were a whip.
Damn it!
Despite blocking the shields, the shockwave that poured out hit Russell’s body.
“Kuh…”
The top of the clothes he was wearing was torn in an instant with only the shock wave, and minor burns and abrasions were left.
‘Is it an attack accompanied by physical power as well as simple firepower…’ It
is an original magic that can be seen by the owner of a mage tower that has raised not only shape transformation but also property change to the limit.
Russell gritted his teeth at the attack.
Regardless, Akairum continued to swing his arms. Attacks were made to break through Russell’s defense without rest.
‘Ugh…’
The problem wasn’t just that magic. Whenever the two snakes sway and draw a circle, a magic circle is created from the inside and another magic is fired.
Kwalung!
A large spear of flame landed at his feet, and the shockwave knocked Russell back once more.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The red cobra and fire magic crossed the rules and irregularities, and whenever they fell, the ground shook greatly and pits were dug.
The flames spilled over it and the ground began to boil. Russell clicked his tongue as he confirmed that the flames were spreading along the hem of his robe due to the rising heat.
Tsk.
‘This is how I ended up throwing away just one more precious robe.’
How many times has it already been that he ate the robe given by the salt tower with temperature control function?
Confident in winning, he was so relaxed and peaceful that it was unbelievable that he was facing Archerum, who was pouring his magic power randomly.
It has to be.
It wasn’t because Russell was just being liked.
There was a reason why he was holding out with minimal defensive magic even though he knew that abrasions and burns would increase little by little.
Soon, Russell’s magic was revealed.
‘Gay Bolg—.’
The sand wind soared high like an awl in a pocket and the demonic spear that had been hiding itself in the scorching heat finally gave off an eerie light.
The moment the shields that were surrounded by layers open wide like buds blooming!
In the meantime, Gaebolg spewed fire.
─────────!
It penetrated the air at once and pierced the chest of an arrogant wizard who was drunk between composure and arrogance.
Pooh!
“Chehe…?!”
When he lowered his gaze in the agony of burning pain, he saw that a long spear was piercing his chest.
Even at a glance, it was a spear with overwhelming firepower created by all sorts of high-ranking spells.
“I can’t believe it… You’ve been silent until now…?”
Russell nodded at him as he stammered.
“It was a paving stone to penetrate the gap between the carelessness that seemed to have already convinced itself of victory.”
“Keukhehe…”
He laughed at the thought that he had been defeated by such a simple move. But who to blame?
The one who hastily popped the champagne was himself, not anyone else.
“…The reason you used this method was because you thought about the future, not after defeating me, right?”
As I regained my composure in the face of death, things that had been hidden for a while came into my eyes.
Unlike himself, who ended up defeating Russell and taking the head of the princess, the young guy in front of him, whom he thought was a child, was fighting with himself.
It was something I had been thinking about until then.
‘If Akarum had been a little calmer and calmer, it wouldn’t have ended so easily.’
Nodding his head at the question, Russell slowly approached him.
If you just explode Gaebolg like this, you will win. However, I couldn’t enjoy the victory yet.
“I will ask. Archyrum.”
He still had something to ask.
“What did you do to Master?”
Akairum murmured as he glanced at Russell, who was not even breathing with abrasions and minor burns.
“—I don’t know.”
“…?”
“I just followed the words of the master and the grand duke that the flame pagoda owner and the window pagoda owner would not be able to move.”
In the end, it is Blaine Trilogy and Archduke Bismarck who know the whereabouts of Daria and Hemingway.
Remembering that fact, Russell closed his tongue and closed his extended grip.
‘Width.’
Gaebolg, which had been piercing Akairum’s chest, exploded.
────────Kwagwawa roaring!
The firepower evaporated without leaving even a piece of bone, let alone a corpse.
As if there was no need to confirm his death, Russell turned around.
“Raise your shield!”
“Kill!”
It was time to put an end to the turmoil at Guinevere Palace.
