EPISODE.111

What awaited Russell, who returned to the royal capital through the warp gate, was the summoning order from the royal family.
An urgent call without even a little rest or preparation time.
It was probably not direct, but it was because of the thought that with the war ahead, we couldn’t let Russell’s superhuman powers go idle.
Daria, her teacher, was guiding such Russell.
Compared to the last time we met, he seemed a little tired.
It has to be.
Now that the White Tower is out on the battlefield, Nicolo is maintaining the supply line, and Hemingway is forming the rearguard.
It was as if the magical guard of the royal capital had been entrusted to her alone.
Even in the midst of this, none of the responsibilities he had previously held had been laid down, so even if he was not physically exhausted, it seemed unavoidable that mental fatigue was building up.
Daria muttered as she walked along the garden inside the royal castle, as if she herself was well aware of the situation.
“People say that people have to live by seeing the sunlight. good.”
It was also a word I spat out in order to arouse the atmosphere in my own way.
Although Endymion is not directly engaged in an all-out war, the allied country has been attacked.
These current wars could become a fuse at any time and turn into an all-out war with the Empire.
Perhaps because of this, there was a strange feeling of tension not only in the capital but also in the castle.
Not only were the faces of the knights bowing back and forth stiff, but the fact that the maids and attendants seemed to be talking less than usual was probably not just an illusion.
“Rather than that…”
As I was observing the atmosphere, Daria suddenly turned around with a twisted tail.
He continued to walk in the direction he had been walking backwards.
“…It looks like you’ve found what you’re looking for.”
Perhaps because she was in the 8th circle, Russell’s skills, which had not been revealed for a long time, were not difficult to see through.
This time too was no exception.
As she swept across Russell’s body, her eyes widened as she headed towards the heart.
“Even before departure, I would have thought that the mana power of a guy who could be said to be in the middle of the 7th circle level would rise to the 7th circle master level before he knew it.”
The reason why he hasn’t faced the wall yet is because he lacks his skills, but isn’t his level of competence not much different from the 7th Circle Master?
“I was just lucky.”
said Russell, laughing bitterly. As he said, Russell did not think that everything he had achieved so far was achieved through his own efforts.
It’s just that I was lucky enough to be born as a descendant of the savior of the other world, and also fortunate enough to inherit what the Dragon God King left behind.
It would be false to say that there was no effort at all in the process, but it was also undeniable that they were lucky.
The moment you say that, kong!
“Ugh-!”
A star flashed in front of my eyes.
A blow that was so fast that even a superhuman level of skill couldn’t react, and not a single bit of hostility.
It was Daria’s teacher’s honey night.
“You’re making the sound of pooping in the toilet because you’re so happy.”
“yes?”
A clean rhyme that is unbelievable for a class. Daria’s training was not over yet.
“No matter how good a mineral is obtained, it is said that forging it into a master sword would have been impossible without the efforts of the craftsman and the power he now possesses.”
Daria, who stopped walking backwards and approached, tapped Russell on the stomach.
“Open your shoulders. this guy No matter what anyone says, you are not the one that this Daria Snowwhite acknowledges and accepts as a disciple. If you’re not the guy I am, then my eyesight is going to be a problem.”
Then he giggled and laughed as if his own words were very funny.
Reading his thoughts and noticing his teacher’s words and actions to solve them, Russell smiled lightly, feeling that a corner of his heart was at ease.
“Master.”
“Yes?”
Daria tilted her head at Russell’s call, and Russell responded calmly to her.
“thank you.”
“Suddenly, gratitude is such a pointless bastard.”
Didn’t it make you feel bad even though you said that? Daria slightly turned her head to hide her blushing face.
.
.
just a few minutes after that.
The place where Daria and Russell arrived was the conference hall located in the center of the palace.
A conference hall built on a large scale to accommodate not only high-ranking officials from each ministry, but also the great lords from the vicinity of the capital.
It was a conference hall that he had visited many times as he was recognized as a noble of the royal capital and ascended in rank.
But today, the atmosphere at the conference hall was more solemn than usual. The atmosphere was not just heavy, but even gloomy.
Even though Hecate rose to the position of regent, was it judged that she still lacked experience to overcome the great ordeal of war alone?
“Are you here?”
The king, who is said to have withdrawn from the front line, was also seated in the highest seat of the conference hall.
Hecate was sitting right next to the king.
“Daria Snowwhite, the master of flames, sees His Majesty the King.”
“Russell Raymond, a mage belonging to the Flame Tower, is meeting His Majesty the King.”
Following the teacher, Russell also bowed his head in accordance with the law and courtesy, and Daria narrowed her eyes while examining the atmosphere in the meeting room.
“By the way, Your Majesty, is something going on?”
It was natural for the atmosphere to become solemn since it was during the war, but it was more serious than the meeting held yesterday.
Even she, who is the core force of the kingdom and the backbone of power, did not expect—.
In other words, it was no different from saying that something happened in the short time from the salt tower to the conference hall.
At Daria’s question, the king let out a long sigh.
“I saw it in Kiel just a few minutes ago and one flew in.”
It was clear news that it was a sad news.
* * *
Kwareung-!
The earth’s axis shook with the wall force. As if an earthquake had occurred, the ground shook violently, and with it, sharp rocks rose randomly from the point where a huge shock wave hit.
War Hammer.
It was a shockwave created by Arex Kylen, one of Endymion’s superhuman Aura practitioners, literally swinging a massive war hammer.
No matter how immortal the undead were, they would be mere moths in front of such destructive power.
But…
“Whoop whoop-.”
It wasn’t just the undead that were holding his ankles now.
A superhuman who can be said to be the pride of her nemesis Britannia.
And that’s not just one, but two…
“The disgusting bastards!”
Arekks gritted his teeth.
Each time, it was stone dust, sand, or fragments of a broken tooth in his mouth.
Unknown things are chewed and made a popping sound.
The large body, which looked like four adult males stacked on top of each other, had long been stained with blood, and its skin and hair were scorched and smelled bad.
In addition, the biggest wound of all was a stab wound that penetrated the left shoulder.
‘I only had one wound the size of a finger… It’s hard to move my entire shoulder.’
It has to be.
What pierced his shoulder was not an ordinary blade, but a spear of lightning.
Perhaps the remnants of the remaining current are still eating away at my nerves and joints.
coo gg gg gg-.
Slowly, as the sand dust cleared, two men slowly appeared among the fragments of the undead.
A mature man holding a sword in each hand and a handsome old man with a long gray beard.
They were Giabor Neagle, an Auror practitioner belonging to the Empire, and Walter Piglet, who was said to be one of the elders of the Empire’s magic world.
Both of them are part of the new superhumans that the Empire is proud of.
“Does he still have this much energy left after suffering such a wound? Indeed, the potential of Endymion is not something to be ignored.”
Giabol accepted Walter’s words.
“You won’t be able to last long, will you? Maybe thirty minutes at most?”
“joy. If you thought you had a chance to win, you would have said that being careless is your weakness.”
“Nothing.”
The two of them exchanged conversations casually, as if they were okay with Arecus in front of them.
It has to be.
The time and experience of working as a superman were superior to Areks, but the two people in front of him were not very compatible.
‘He’s a wizard who uses quick swords as a double swordsman and uses lightning magic as his main force…
‘
Even more so, if it’s one person, there are two such opponents.
‘I’ll have to retreat for now.’
In order to do that, you will have to shake off the enemies in front of you.
With his long experience, he read the peninsula of the battlefield at once, and he firmly grabbed his war hammer.
Well-forged fighting spirit threateningly crushes the area-.
─────────Bung-Bung-Bung!!
The hammer in his hand starts spinning menacingly.
The rotation entrained the atmosphere, creating a storm-like appearance, and nearby rocks and dust rose wildly and obscured the view.
It was an unbelievable sight that it was created with pure physical force alone.
He is a superman because he can create such a scene.
However, the two men in front of Areks were also people who had stepped onto the level of superhumans.
“Are you ready to do more?”
“Be persistent!”
Instead of panicking, the two men immediately responded.
Crossing the twin swords in a T-shape, raising spirits and turning the mana pumped up from the heart into a lightning bolt, he applied it to his fingers.
Pajijijijijiji-!
In the meantime, the moment when the storm created by Arex reaches its peak and the destructive power created by adding rotation to rotation dwells in the hammer!
Quagga Gagagak!
Giabol swung his twin swords.
A speedy and ruthless slash that rushes as if to tear the storm apart!
The moment when the two slashes tore apart part of the storm, like sharp fangs of a beast tearing at the nape of the prey!
“now!”
With the signal, Walter lowered both hands.
The blue magic light that arose from the tips of the nails carves the marks of the nails in the air, and along the trajectory, ten lightning strikes towards the torn storm.
Maybe it’s because it’s difficult to handle, but as much as its destructive power, even fire-type magic can be folded with one finger.
The blue thunderbolt unique to lightning magic reached Arrex beyond the storm and flashed!
Kwajijijijijijit-!
The moment the lightning roared around the storm.
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
Areks roared like a bear.
While overcoming the electric shock of magic, he struck the ground with a hammer full of centrifugal force.
───────────!!!!!!!!!!
The ground explodes before the sound, and the shock wave spreads out in a fan shape.
The ground pushed away by the impact raged like a wave and swept the area randomly.
A miracle of great destruction!
Sand dust and stone dust scattered more violently than before, blinding the sight for a moment.
“Are you planning on doing a surprise attack after covering your eyesight?”
“Fair tricks!”
The two men, who had pulled themselves out of the destruction, each finished their postures to prepare for the next attack, and the sound of horns sounded in their ears.
woo woo woo woo-.
The sound of horns ordering the troops to retreat.
Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu—–.
a while after that.
As the vibrations subsided, the sight beyond the dust was revealed.
“Retreat retreat!”
“Pass the wire! Reorganize!”
Soldiers backing away from the undead and…
“Huh!”
“I got out.”
Areks was no longer left on the land that had been brutally crushed by the hammer.
However, as if to say that his condition was not all right, only a puddle of blood remained in place and was vaporized by the heat of the thunderbolt.
Push-shush-.
