Episode 1099. How could a bird know the meaning of the phoenix?
In the blink of an eye, the ice forest area was filled with black clouds, making it impossible to see an inch ahead.
The darkness suddenly went dark, and the warlock, Dylan Dunford, was greatly perplexed.
‘What is that magic?’
No, more than that, what does that mean in front of the powerful magic called Meteor Swarm?
I ignored it, but at the same time felt anxious.
It was because there was no way that young man would use unnecessary magic.
I chanted an incantation and looked around the extension, but I couldn’t see anything.
He was curious about the situation outside the hemispherical shield, but he didn’t cancel the Apollutus Protection.
This is because the hemispherical shield is the only way to protect oneself from the nerdy youth’s swordsmanship.
He suppressed his frustration and focused more on the magic spells of Meteor Swarm.
Beads of sweat rolled down Dylan Dunford’s forehead.
Maybe because I was in a hurry, the order felt exceptionally long today.
It’s almost time to finish the spell of Meteor Swarm.
Kwajik-!
A heavy sound came from overhead – like something breaking.
“Polo Tanto Agora (therefore now)…. Whoa!”
Dylan Dunford’s mouth dropped open as he inadvertently raised his head.
Of course, Meteor Swarm’s magic incantations stopped.
The protective shield, which was said to be impenetrable even by the power of God, was cracking with a huge red sword that had never been seen before.
Write it…
When the magic spell of the Meteor Swarm stopped, mana raged inside the hemispherical shield.
When the magic chant suddenly stopped, the mana that lost its direction ran out of control.
“Ugh!”
A heavy moan escaped Dylan Dunford’s mouth.
Mana’s recoil is fatal to wizards.
The higher the circle magic, the higher the risk, but at the 9th circle magic, the magician could die from the recoil.
He sealed his mana hole without hesitation.
Now, the mana running rampant like a mad horse inside the body was a bigger problem than the red sword that broke the shield.
When he managed to seal the mana hole, the mana typhoon inside the hemispherical protective shield subsided like a lie.
At the same time, the hemispherical protective shield of Apollutus was slowly shattered from above.
Warlock Dylan Dunford didn’t budge.
Since the mana hole was sealed by himself, it was like tying himself up and offering it to the swordsman.
A huge red sword touched the top of his head.
Dylan Dunford would rather have that sword crush him.
But that didn’t happen.
The red sword disappeared without a trace like Apollutus Protect.
Elio then fell in front of the warlock.
When he confronted the black magician, he started bloodletting.
Then, befitting his personality that leaves no regrets, he broke the black magician’s mana hole.
“Ugh!”
Dylan Dunford trembled at the pain of the mana hole being shattered.
You can tell what the shock was like by seeing him convulsing even when he was bloodied.
Elio asked Dylan Dunford, who had lost everything in an instant and was standing in a daze.
“name is?”
“…Dylan Dunford.”
“Yes, Dylan Dunford. Are you the one who dropped the Meteor Swarm on Hirhera about four months ago?”
“Yes.”
“why?”
“…”
Dylan Dunford didn’t answer.
He denied reality in the face of such an enormous incident.
‘This must be a dream.’
No matter how much I thought about it, this couldn’t actually happen.
Elio said to him who kept his mouth shut.
“Well, it’s strange that you answer so meekly. Sorcerers say the mind controls the body? But I believe that the body controls the mind. Let’s see who’s right.”
Elio stabbed Dylan Dunford with his fingers.
“It’s a technique [dividing tendons and dislocating bones]. If you want to talk, say you will. All right. Isn’t it simple?”
sigh-.
Dylan Dunford, who lost his balance, collapsed as his bones twisted.
“Ah! I’ll tell you! I will speak!”
Dylan Dunford screamed before a minute had passed.
Still, Elio did not release the broken bone.
It’s because if you taste it badly, you’ll have trouble again.
Five minutes passed.
Dylan Dunford, who had been screaming at me to speak, opened his mouth like a fish pulled out of water.
Only then, as his breath clattered, did Elio release the broken bone with a high-pitched blow.
Dylan Dunford couldn’t get up for a long time and gasped on the spot.
In the meantime, the dark clouds cleared and the night sky full of stars appeared again.
Leaving the members of Rufus Company behind, Fabian hurriedly ran.
“Viscount! Why did the dark ether suddenly appear?”
“You fool. Don’t you know how to tell the difference between dark ether and dark clouds?”
“It was a dark cloud?”
“You have to eat it to know whether it is poop or soybean paste, right? It was a dark cloud.”
“Ah, somehow… I didn’t feel creepy… But what kind of dark clouds are these?”
“It must be some kind of magic. I caught that black magician. Keep your company under control while we gather information. Reinforcements may come because of the magic flares, so prepare to greet them.”
“yes.”
Fabian wanted to stay and watch, but backed off at Elio’s instruction.
When only the two of them were left with the warlock, Elio asked again.
“Why did you send the Meteor Swarm to Hirhera?”
Dylan Dunford, who had regained some of his energy, answered meekly.
“It’s to break the ice wall and help the demons advance into Hirhera.”
“One stone, two birds [一石二鳥]. Even so, you are a human too, so why are you doing such things for the demons?”
“It’s not for the demons. I am for the sake of the majestic One.”
“Who else is behind you? Somehow I knew that. who is this? The one who wants that crazy thing.”
“I don’t even know his name. It’s just that he’s a Magnum opus…”
“Magnum opus?”
“The Archmage of the 9th Circle is called the Magnum Ops.”
“So I don’t know who it is, but the Archmage of the 9th Circle made you do that?”
“Yes.”
“Who taught you about the barriers and Meteor Swarm installed here?”
“A dignified person taught me.”
“Are you a great person? Is that dignified person a human? Are you God?”
Elio thought to himself of the heavenly horse and the golden thread.
Somehow it seemed that the two were related.
For a moment, Dylan Dunford laughed poodle poodle.
“Hehe. you really don’t know anything Magnum Ops is already godlike. To ask a person who is like a god whether he is a human or a god. It is a meaningless question.”
“It’s mean and shit, and you answer whatever I ask. Are you a person? Are you God?”
Dylan Dunford, who was looking at Elio with strange eyes, replied reluctantly.
“He had a body. But…”
Elio cut him off.
“Are you a human? shit. Why are you human?”
If it was a thousand horses or a golden thread, I would have called it a god, but I was very disappointed that it was a human.
“Where is he now? No, how can I meet you?”
“Even if I teach you, you won’t meet me.”
“How am I going to split the tendon and dislocate the bone once again?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Delan Dunford spoke.
“He went back to Celestial Star.”
“also! That makes sense.”
Elio’s face lit up.
He was convinced that the dignified person the black magician had spoken of was the Son of Heaven.
Didn’t the child of heaven also have a body in ‘Heaven of Kings’!
Now I feel like I have a clue in my hand.
As he nodded, Fabian came back with a group of people.
They were the nobles of the headquarters of the Marquis Bernardo.
As Count Ellen Parres, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and Viscount Oscar Avid approached, Elio lightly ignored them.
Count Ellen Fares greeted me with a happy face.
“I have received a report from Company Commander Rufus. The warlocks were plotting mischief, right?”
“Yes, I tried to use large-range magic by creating a barrier for the evil god Shaitin. Fortunately, I was able to stop it before that.”
“Is there only one prisoner, the author?”
“That’s right. The wizard from the 7th circle is Dylan Dunford. Are you a famous wizard by any chance?”
“Dylan Dunford… a wizard from a long-lost empire. I heard he died, but I guess he’s still alive.”
Count Ellen Parres kept his distance from Dylan Dunford, perhaps because it was burdensome to get close to the warlock.
“I didn’t know, so as soon as I caught it, I first broke the mana hole. I don’t know how to deal with a mage yet.”
“ah! I guess so.”
Only then did Count Ellen Fares let go of his guard.
Viscount Oscar Avid, who had been looking around, stepped out cautiously.
“Can I take you to the headquarters and interrogate you?”
“yes.”
Elio, who had nothing more to find out anyway, nodded his head kindly.
After a while, the commander of the Phoenix Knights and the chief of staff led the warlock back across the rift.
Fabian approached Elio, who was standing alone in the icy forest.
“Viscount? Anything left?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“But what are you doing? I will not go back and rest.”
“I was just trying to organize my thoughts.”
“Have you finished tidying up?”
“almost?”
“Can I know what it is about?”
Fabian looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa’s eyes.
It’s not just out of curiosity.
Hirhera was a dangerous place, so I wanted to know something.
“I think it’s about time for me to leave Hirhera as well. How should I finish it so that word spreads that I did well?”
At the unexpected words, Fabian’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
“You are leaving Hirrhera? Are you serious?”
“When did you see me lie?”
“no. I didn’t see it. Well thought out. When are you going? I will unconditionally follow the Viscount. Please don’t stop me this time.”
Fabian wanted to leave the dangerous Hirhera right away.
“I’ll go when I’m sure Hirhera is safe.”
“no way! What is it? It will take hundreds of years for Hirhera to be safe. That is the same as saying that I will live in Hirhera for the rest of my life.”
“That is your idea.”
“What do you think? Go grab the people in the garrison and ask them. Everyone will speak like me. If that’s the case, don’t say you’re leaving.”
“How can a bird know the meaning of a phoenix?”
“…”
Fabian was frustrated, but he didn’t hold on.
It sounds far from reality, but I thought that Viscount Elio Lagoa might make it possible.
Elio asked the silent Fabian.
“What do you think is the biggest obstacle to Hirhera’s safety?”
“A crack.”
“Tsk tsk! Can a person who came out of a knight academy think that way?”
“Is there anything more dangerous than a crack?”
“Is it dangerous to drill a hole in the ice wall? Is it dangerous to pour out of it?”
“Of course, coming out of the rift is dangerous. It was lumped together and expressed as a crack. Why are you arguing when you know it’s obvious? Just tell me the main point.”
“How can knights deal with monsters and monsters? is not it?”
“Yes.”
“I have met demons. I thought it was a monster that couldn’t communicate, but it turned out to be a conversation.”
“So what? Are you really going to ask the demons not to cross the rift?”
Fabian looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with bewildered eyes.
Demons are evil to humans.
It is also an absolute evil that cannot coexist with humans.
In fact, the demons summoned by the black magicians thoroughly destroyed humans.
I don’t know what you’re talking about against such demons.
‘Didn’t I say that the important thing is not symbiosis but right and wrong?’
