EPISODE.35
Rurlureung-!
Immediately after the deafening noise, a white lightning bolt connected the sky and the ground.
It was Russell who became the 5th circle and had more power.
As if in response, the power of the Cloudy Ring has become stronger than before.
It is magic created by combining the two.
Even if it was opened in a hurry, there was no way that the power would be weak.
As if to prove that fact, Papabababababat-!
Lightning poured out in all directions, and blue sparks rose nonstop.
If the formula had not been modified and the aftermath poured out to one side, Spiegelmann, who was nearby, would have been swept away.
High temperature that reached a level close to plasma!
Glassed shards flew out of the earth, which was almost melting because of that.
An ordinary creature, let alone a corpse, wouldn’t even have a bone fragment left.
However, the opponent was a magician of the 5th circle, three of them.
I didn’t think I could take it down in one blow.
With that in mind, Russell got down to the floor. As if protecting Spiegelmann, he blocked his way.
Chak-.
The sound of shoes hitting the floor echoed.
It’s a skill that’s completely different from when I saw it just before entering the ruins.
Spiegelman exclaimed, feeling that the atmosphere and even the amount of magic power floating around were extraordinary.
“you-!?”
A short cry with multiple questions implied.
“Are you okay?”
Russell asked before answering the cry.
Both eyes were still staring into the rising smoke.
[Mission]
Deal with the cultists who defeated the base camp.
[Reward]
Intermediate Manastone (Edible) x3 per cultist
When you open your senses, you begin to perceive the surrounding situation more clearly.
Perhaps it was because his body was strengthened by dragon blood and his senses became even sharper.
Numerous deaths at the base camp that became a mess and -.
‘A slanderer who is not much different from him.’
It was an injury that would be impossible even if you used your hands.
The only thing that can be saved in this place is Spiegel.
“I’m fine, more than that…”
To say this much in just 15 days, did you get a chance in the ruins?
Before I could ask that question, I heard a terrifying sound.
Knock-.
A ghastly sound, evidently gnashing of teeth, came from the smoke.
A woman with an impressive purple color makeup painted along the eye area is revealed.
Still, part of his left forearm can be seen to have been completely undamaged.
Knock-.
Looking back and forth between her arm and Russell’s new face, she gnashed her teeth again.
Immediately after, he opened his mouth, barely suppressing the anger that was rising.
“You are Russell Raymond. I heard that it was definitely 4 circles, but in the meantime, another one increased. What a surprise?”
“-?”
Russell stared at the three enemy cultists and twisted his head.
‘You know my name?’
He had been with the cultists before, so it was no surprise that there was a cultist who knew his name.
However, isn’t it a bit different from such simple knowledge, as if he was aiming for himself?
“What did you get inside?”
It was the moment when doubt turned to certainty. Then the man standing behind her moved.
It was a middle-aged man with a playful face.
“If you hand it over gracefully, I promise you at least an easy death.”
“well?”
Russell tilted his head and moved his gaze.
Instead of the two men and women in front, I followed the movement of the cultist still wearing the robe.
‘Is the boss over there?’
It’s the same 5th circle, but somehow the energy felt was different.
A bit harder rocky no.
‘It’s not a rock, it’s beast-like magic.’
The feeling that not one but several beasts are hiding in the robes.
Russell opened his inventory, seeing goosebumps running down his forearm.
He took out a golden bird’s beak mask and put it over his face.
Click-.
“It’s a funny-looking mask. Is that an artifact obtained from the ruins?”
A voice and eyes dripping with greed. But they won’t know.
What information did Russell get from that word just now?
“You must have been looking for something in the ruins of the past.”
a low voice.
Both men and women’s bodies flinched and trembled.
After a while, the man who had calmed the commotion asked back as if nothing had happened.
“We’re not quite sure on what basis you’re saying that?”
until you shrug your shoulders.
However, it was just an unreasonable performance for Russell, who had already seen through their goals.
“You didn’t even know what you were looking for, but you came to retrieve something from the ruins. Isn’t it funny?”
“….”
“I don’t know who gave the order to you guys, but what will you do if the thing the author was looking for isn’t found in these ruins?”
The answer was obvious.
I have no choice but to keep an eye on the other ruins until I find the item I want.
The man trembled at Russell’s words that pierced the heart of the matter.
She withdrew her mischievous face and glared at Russell with a cold face.
“There’s one more reason why you have to die.”
Along with the way of speaking that he does not even intend to hide, the man’s whole body is enveloped in engrossed magical energy.
At the same time, the magical energy under the woman’s body starts to rotate in a circle and thump!
The Robe man, who had been silent until then, also moved his huge body.
The ground trembled heavily, as if it had a mass several times that of an ordinary human.
Remembering that vibration, Russell shouted.
“Flare Cannon!”
A branch of Hubert’s main 5-circle fire magic.
At the same time as the cry, high-temperature jade flame ran across the horizon.
―――――!
It created a shape like a literal ray of light and penetrated the center of the base camp.
Wow!
A sound more like an explosion than a fire broke out.
But Russell’s magic was just beginning.
‘Blast Burn Gale Storm!’
As if not giving even a moment’s rest, they fired a series of magical bombardments.
From the moment I felt the scent of blood in the wind, I continued to release the magic that I had memorized.
Even that wasn’t enough, until he cast another spell at the same time.
‘good-!’
The female cultist vomited in astonishment at the sight.
Then he turned his head and asked the middle-aged cultist.
“Double casting! You said it was 4th circle not too long ago, is that possible?”
“They say he’s a genius, but it’s definitely better to nip the buds here.”
The same goes for the surprised man.
He quickly hardened his expression and shook his head.
Whoaaah-!
As it eats the wind, the flames begin to inflate its size.
The high fever, which had risen to the limit, was enough to intimidate cultists!
Roaring!
However, the opponents are also talented people from the 5th circle who have reached a certain level.
They weren’t so easygoing that they could only be dealt with by magic speakers.
“Hey, no matter how genius you are, it hasn’t been long since you reached the 5th circle! On the other hand, all three of us are used to fighting!”
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
A woman’s unique high pitched sound followed by a sharp pangong sound.
Splitting the flames, the spear of darkness rushed straight toward Russell.
Two, not one!
Kwaadduk kwaduk kwaduk!
The earthen wall rises and blocks the spear of darkness that rushes into it.
The spear of darkness stuck in the thick earthen wall is blurring and losing its shape.
Spiegelman shouted.
“I will join you!”
I don’t know if it was a three-on-one situation, but in the current situation, I could have added one hand.
“Please defend.”
Russell nodded as he confirmed the strength of the shield he had spread.
He is not a war mage, but he is an elder of the yellow tower who can be said to be an expert in earth magic.
The strength of the shield he spread was one step higher than that of ordinary defensive magic.
Parbat-
I could feel them scattering in different directions using that gap.
‘Are you planning to block the three directions and narrow the siege?’
Had Russell been alone, breaking through the siege would have been no task.
However, now it is necessary to protect even Spiegelman, who is injured.
It was not easy for Russell to move.
I don’t know if it’s one -.
‘If two or more cling to Elder Spiegelman…’
It was clear that an irreversible situation would arise.
Russell rolled his eyes. I quickly calculated in my head.
In order to overcome this situation, it was necessary to reveal some of the numbers we had.
‘Partial acceptance? Or spirit magic?’
Having made up his mind, Russell inhaled slowly.
The moment you try to move your mana!
“Master of the severe cold, I ask for your help here!”
A gigantic cold air invaded from the outside of the encirclement.
“-Diamond Gust!”
A gust of wind mixed with ice grains drew the ground and the horizon.
* * *
The extent of the ice gusts was exquisite indeed.
It seemed that they had invaded at random, but they did not invade the realm of the flame magic that Russell poured out.
The magic sown in a way that skillfully balances him and accurately disrupts the formations of the cultists.
It couldn’t have been an amazing horsepower control.
Immediately after, the master of magic appeared outside the base camp.
A man with a svelte stature and slender narrow eyes, with an intellectual atmosphere.
‘Alan Page.’
Shoes wrapped in blue magic power stepped on the floor.
Her hair was lightly shaken by the resulting rise in magical power.
He muttered like a hero in a heroic tale on the market.
“Looks like I am too late.”
If he had come a little sooner, wouldn’t he have been able to save others?
It was a voice full of regret. However, that feeling did not last long.
Rather than mourning those who have already died, it was more important to deal with the remaining enemies.
Entering combat stance, he spoke.
“Are you okay? Sir Russell, Elder Spiegelman.”
“I am fine.”
Spiegelman nodded.
The wound on his side hurt, but not enough to be a problem.
“I’m fine too.”
The remaining amount of mana was good enough to save, and of course it was still comfortable.
Was it because of that answer or was it because of the changed atmosphere of Russell?
“Sir, could it be…?”
Alan Page raised his eyes in surprise.
Instead of answering his question, she quietly nodded and took off the robe Russell was wearing.
I undid a few buttons on my shirt.
Wearing clothes that made it easier to move around, I was cold and brainwashed.
“Now that we are equal in numbers, what are we going to do?”
In the first place, it was not that I thought that I was being pushed back greatly just because I was pushed out in numbers.
However, at least the reason to fight while protecting Spiegelman is gone.
At Russell’s question, the male and female wizards exchanged glances.
“If possible, I wanted to resolve it before this situation came, but…”
“I can’t help it.”
They parted as if they had assumed this situation from the beginning.
The female side to Spiegelmann, the middle-aged man to Alan.
All that was left was one large man who hadn’t spoken the whole time.
A female cultist walking toward Spiegelmann tapped his robe-covered body.
“You have to take everything you got inside unconditionally.
Turning to Spiegelmann, he said with a wink in one eye.
“Now then, would you like to play with me again?”
