Episode 817
“…your prediction was wrong.”
“No, senior?! Why are you doing that there? You would have just given up and escaped!”
Lee Han shouted in surprise at Yukbeltire’s words.
Caton thought to himself at that sight.
‘Are you two not getting along?’
I thought we were good seniors and juniors because we were part of the same top team, did research together, and even did things like this together, but it didn’t feel that way at all.
“I stopped it.”
Delet answered with a shy expression.
No matter what, I couldn’t just take the duke and go out while my junior was fighting.
It was Dirette who blocked the road and pushed Yukveltire’s back to prevent him from escaping as he pleases.
“Ah. What else can I say? It was thanks to senior Direth.”
Hearing his junior’s words that he knew that would happen, Yukveltyre felt the unidentified emotions he felt earlier rise again.
Caton was puzzled by that appearance. It was rare to see a friend in the same grade shaking his hands like that.
“Are you by any chance angry?”
“…Caton of the Jahan family. Feelings as trivial as anger are mine…”
“I think I’m angry…”
“I’m not angry.”
With his horse, Yukveltire resumed the attack.
The swords Caton jumped over flew in from behind again. The undead monsters summoned by Direth rushed in, making bloody noises.
‘hmm. It seems vague.’
Blinking his eyes, Caton strengthened his senses and sharpened his instincts.
The swords flying around in the black darkness were emitting phantom sound waves, disturbing the five senses, and the junior was hiding in a state of invisibility and aiming in this direction… but the
trained swordsman’s senses instinctively found the way.
Wizards are disparaged as ignorant and simple, but the path of a swordsman who digs deeply into his own body is by no means to be underestimated.
Now rush at the wizards in front and seize the duke…
Caton instinctively unfolded his secret sword skills forward. Then, the telekinetic force coming from the front collided with the sword strike.
Caton was surprised by the heavy feel of the hand.
“Yukveltire of noble lineage. When did you get this kind of magic…?”
“I didn’t cast it.”
“It’s a trick?”
However, as soon as the words were finished, the telekinesis came again in a series of strikes.
Caton, who was concentrating on blocking the invisible attack that was flying wildly, only then realized a sense of discomfort.
Yukbeltire Direth, who was currently controlling the artifacts and summons, did not have the strength to launch an attack of this magnitude.
“You were a junior of the Wardanaz family! I had such a prejudice!”
‘Tsk.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue at Caton’s exclamation.
I wanted them to be suspicious of Yukveltire if possible, but it seemed like they immediately realized that Lee Han was the culprit.
As a battle mage, it was natural to take charge of the vanguard in this situation, but honestly, I didn’t feel like it.
“Gotcha!”
-■■■■!
Meanwhile, the undead monster narrowed the distance and attacked Caton with a roar. Delet breathed a sigh of relief.
“I don’t know if it will work out, but…!”
Hearing Caton’s muttering voice, Lee Han felt a chill sinking down his chest.
Pot!
Several of Caton’s clones appeared in an instant and blocked the undead monsters and artifacts running from behind.
And Caton himself fiercely rushed towards Lee Han. Direth shouted in disbelief.
“Does it make sense to create an alter ego like that through swordsmanship?!”
‘That’s right.’
Lee Han didn’t even have time to respond. After firing three consecutive strikes of Wardanaz’s Telekinesis right in front, I jumped back to increase the distance.
Caton raised the arm that was not holding his sword like a shield and rushed forward with a shout. The arm blazing with aura collided with telekinesis.
Once, twice, three times!
It was a desperate measure chosen because he knew that the moment he stopped charging and swung his sword, his
junior would disappear. No matter how much he strengthened it with Auror, Caton’s arm was tattered and twisted at a strange angle because he had blocked the 5th circle magic three times with one arm.
But Caton didn’t care. The desired goal was achieved.
‘It’s the range of the opponent’s sword!’
Lee Han activated the two magics he had stored up just in case,
From here on, the sword was faster than the spell.
Boom!!!
Caton laughed happily as the Auror blocked his blazing sword.
“Junior. Excellent! I can’t even use Aurors yet, but I can’t believe I have this level of destructive power!”
The strengthening magic learned from the skeleton principal and the physical strengthening of the swordsman who wastes his unique magical energy. In addition, there is even a sword called the Dawn Star that absorbs the opponent’s magical power.
Putting all of these together, we were able to block Catton’s Aura-laden blow from the front.
However, unlike Caton, who was impressed, Lee Han was trembling in shock.
‘What such ignorance…!’
Even though I was currently casting several strengthening spells, including ‘The Boiling Power of Gonadaltes’, a heavy wave surged through my body as if I had been hit straight by a shock spell. It was an incredibly destructive force.
Just as a wizard is treated as a strong person who can enter high-level magic from the moment he realizes the small world, I once
again realized why a swordsman who can use Aurors is recognized as being of a different class.
The precognitive magic cast at that moment warned of the next attack. Lee Han gritted his teeth and attacked as the next herbivorous meal rained down like a storm from all directions.
I realized that it would be even more dangerous if I was pushed out of here.
“Mmm!”
Caton, who was trying to spread his grass with one arm, took a step back due to his junior’s sharp counterattack.
‘Are you using foresight magic?’
Even though he couldn’t use magic, he was a Caton whose knowledge was quite wide. It wasn’t strange that a junior who was taking the previous school, unlike me, could use precognitive magic
.
In that case, the counterattack just now was also explained. It was not easy for a junior who did not know much about Caton’s swordsmanship and had a low level of skill to react so sensitively.
‘Seniors are also people. If I just take the time, it will be to my advantage!’
Lee Han made a quick decision in his mind.
Caton was also a person.
The injury he just received was not only an injury, but he must have used up quite a bit of magical power as he was able to move through space and even create an alter ego.
If you take your time and hold on, support from Yukbeltire and Direth will come.
“Hmm.”
However, Lee Han realized that his judgment was complacent.
This senior, who only swung a sword in the punishment room while the other seniors studied magic, was a monster who could easily target Lee Han even if he was injured and had no magic power.
Boom boom boom!
‘The sword’s trajectory… is twisted?!’
It was clear that he had caught the first strike and was delivering a powerful blow that could destroy the wall.
However, as he was pushed back, each time he clashed his sword with the defending Caton, the sword began to get more and more out of control.
Lee Han realized it too late when the fourth strike did not produce as much power as he had hoped.
‘I’m letting go of my sword!’
It was hard to believe.
Of course, it would have been possible under normal circumstances. Just as Lee Han was able to dodge the attacks of Gainando, who was attacking him to steal his snacks, even with his eyes closed, Caton, who was several levels above Lee Han in terms of swordsmanship, would have been able to dodge them even if he lacked strength.
But now, they were under various magical attacks from all directions.
Moreover, Lee Han was not just attacking normally, but was using all kinds of strengthening magic to deliver strong attacks…
…by calmly sending off such attacks, he was putting Lee Han in a disadvantageous situation.
It was a swordsmanship that gave me goosebumps. For a moment, Lee Han looked into Caton’s eyes. The vertically slit pupils characteristic of a cat beast were looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Even in an unfavorable situation where I was injured and exhausted, I felt the keenness to never miss my prey.
‘It can’t go on like this!’
Lee Han instinctively took a gamble. At that moment, the pocket watch radiated magical power and accelerated Lee Han’s time.
Caton was surprised when his junior’s speed increased to a level different from that of ordinary strengthening magic.
‘I’m really jealous. ‘That kind of magical ability!’
Although surprised and envious, Caton’s body moved in a familiar way.
A sword imbued with aura blocked the opponent’s attack path.
Lee Han didn’t know, but the acrobatics that Caton was performing now was Paeryu Janhwa, a secret technique of the Yangryu Sword, a sword technique he had learned.
The essence of illusion that lets the opponent’s attacks go away and leads them to a disadvantageous position!
No matter how injured and exhausted Catton was, it was not easy for the junior to break through this with his strength.
He quickly adjusted his stance and fired three sword strikes. Caton let it go.
Two sword strikes flew again. Catton let it go again.
“…?”
For the first time today, Caton felt something strange about the sword.
The junior did not move to where he wanted to go.
‘what?’
At that moment, the junior’s invisibility magic was released. Caton, seeing Lee Han’s eyes for the first time, was surprised.
It wasn’t that he was overwhelmed by his senior’s sword, but he was still looking for an opening.
‘It’s surprising that you escaped from Judo, but that attack can’t break through this defense…’
Qwarm!
There was an audible sound when magical power was abnormally condensed, which could not be heard unless you were sensitive to magic.
Caton was astonished.
An aura was forming on the junior’s sword.
Danger.
enforce.
prognosis.
Acceleration.
A form of plasma that cannot be displayed through the general concentration of magical power created by strong concentration brought about by circumstances such as will, intertwined with solid intention.
The aura flashed and merged with the Byeokam Sword that Lee Han had learned. The blow shattered Caton’s shellfish and sent the sword flying back.
bang!!!!!
“!”
Lee Han, whose sword flew away, was more surprised than Caton, whose sword flew away.
I never expected to be able to break down my senior’s defense.
“…Great job, junior!! I never thought you would use an auror!”
Caton spoke happily, as if it were his own business, regardless of the defeat he had just suffered.
Lee Han wanted to thank me profusely, but he couldn’t. A rebound came rushing through my body, including the time magic I had just used.
“Ugh… Ugh… Keuuk… Thank you… But you’re an Auror… What do you mean…?”
“The attack I just made. That was the auror. Hmm, that must have been why the invisibility spell was broken.”
Caton nodded.
I had heard that since the auror itself was an abnormal condensation of magical power, it sometimes had an effect on the surrounding magic. To see it like this, magic was truly a mysterious thing.
Holding back the pain throughout his body, Lee Han asked again,
“But there was no change in the sword…”
If you’re an Auror, shouldn’t there be a burning flame coming from the sword?
Caton answered that question as if he didn’t understand.
“That’s right. It was definitely trying to bloom, but it died down inside… ah.”
“?”
“…Junior. You are holding a sword that absorbs magical energy.”
“…Ah… I’m sorry.”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
When I thought about it, it was funny to ask the question, ‘Why don’t Aurors burn?’ while holding the Morning Star, a sword with a black magnet blade that absorbs magical power.
“Me. By the way, senior.”
“Ask me anything.”
“I think you should look from the back first…”
Caton turned his head.
At the vital points of the body, including the neck, were flying swords summoned by Yukveltyre, and above the head, a bloody undead monster summoned by Direth was glaring with its mouth wide open.
“Ah. I lost. I’m surrendering.”
“Can’t we just look at them as members of the same grade?”
“Don’t you have to give something?”
Lee Han asked, slightly worried, as it looked like Direth and Yukveltire were going to kill Caton at any moment.
Caton had a sullen attitude. I answered,
“Junior. I don’t have any wealth. Most of the time, I was in the punishment room, so I couldn’t
do any requests or research.” “…Try giving me a broken arm.”
“Unlike me, even the healing magic is really amazing, junior…”
“Please be quiet. ”
Lee Han looked at the two seniors and covered Caton’s mouth.
