[ Episode 343. Confusion ]
Uh-uh–
“Uh!”
The mana fluctuated at the round table where all the warlocks were gone and only the assistants remained.
“What else?”
“Is it Maxwell? Just in case, bring the Warlocks back!”
While there was a commotion among the teaching assistants, Lucia glared at the bright circular sphere that was created on top of the round table.
Then, seeing the silhouette revealed from the sphere, he hurriedly climbed onto the round table.
“Upper is dangerous! Come down!”
People screamed in surprise, but Lucia didn’t stop. As she made her way to the center of the round table, she carefully accepted the new model in the falling sphere.
“senior?”
Two people were easily accepted by Luna using her magic. One was Luna Pendragon with her eyes closed as if fainting, and the other was a pitch-black new model with such Luna on her body.
“Luna Pendragon? Did you come back!”
“I can’t believe that black tan…”
Huung!
Warlocks who had left shortly after the commotion broke out quickly gathered at the round table.
“What is it?”
“It looks like Adrias Cromwell and Luna Pendragon are back.”
At the words of someone who was not sure, Bahat, who appeared by teleportation, headed for Lucia.
Chiik–
Bahat’s eyes widened at the sight of a person that it would not be an exaggeration to call him a lump of charcoal still emitting high temperatures.
“What the hell is going on……”
Then, Luna, who was sitting on top of the charcoal, slowly opened her eyes. She looked around blankly for a moment, then jumped up and shouted.
“mom? friend?”
“What happened to Luna Pendragon? Why is Adrias like this?”
At Bahat’s urging, Luna stared at the charred Adrias with tears hanging on her face.
“A friend…a friend instead of me…”
Luna, crying, quickly took something out of the subspace artifact.
“I can’t even lose a friend! Please save my friend.”
What she took out was a small bag full of miscellaneous items. And seeing that, Lucia muttered while holding Adrias in her arms with trembling hands.
“portion?”
“A friend said! If you complete this, you can live!”
Luna cried out with tears dripping down her face.
“Before you collapsed, you asked me. So please help me.”
“Biante! First, take a look at Adrias’ condition. Give that potion to me.”
Bahat received the potion from Luna and immediately began examining it. Seeing that, Luna was in a hurry and continued to say what she couldn’t say.
“My friend said it was a potion that could turn into an elixir! Please save me with that…….”
“Elixir?”
When the unexpected name appeared, everyone whispered.
The Elixir was like a legendary item that only existed in theory, so everyone made faces of disbelief.
However, Lucia and Bahat were excluded.
They spoke without questioning Adrias’ words.
“If the senior said so, I’m sure.”
“Hmm, so that means the ingredients in this bag are the ingredients to make an elixir.”
At the words of the two, Biante, who was checking Adrias’ condition, frowned.
“You believe that?”
“Why not believe it?”
Bahat briefly expressed his opinion and entrusted the potion and bag to Lucia.
“Bring Adrias here.”
“…He’s breathing, but he’s already dead. Even if those things are really the ingredients of the elixir, you won’t be able to endure it until the elixir is completed.”
“So you’re telling me to send him over here? Hey, did Keshurn say Violga?”
“Yes yep!”
“You form a magic circle with me from now on. And Patrick inspiration!”
Bahat quickly began to give orders.
“Take the kids and go to Modrian’s Cauldron and prepare for potion research in advance. He specializes in inspiration.”
“Okay.”
Patrick nodded and left with some warlocks and assistants. Lucia and Luna followed after Patrick, carrying a bag full of ingredients.
“From now on, you will design space separation and time extension magic circles with me.”
“ah! understand. You’re thinking of isolating the space and only slowing down the time inside it!”
“okay.”
Bahat answered bluntly and immediately began to use magic to pull out the magic stone embedded in the round table and grind it into powder.
Passeuk!
“Draw a magic circle with this. First of all, based on Poem’s formula and the Nicurus 16 star Woodrell equation. I will draw the details.”
“All right.”
The work started right away, and the other wizards who were watching it began to move in a hurry.
“No matter how selfish wizards we are, we can’t turn a blind eye to the lifesaver!”
“hey! Room 6 on the 5th floor of the deep floor is my room. Bring the box of Decurus from there! No, let’s go together and bring everything we have.”
“I’ll have to take out the things I’ve been hiding so far.”
About 20 wizards began to move wildly for one goal. And half of them were warlocks, so it was a sight that you would never normally see.
“Report the condition of Biante Adrias every two minutes.”
“all right. How many magic circles are left?”
“Looks like it will be made sooner than I thought.”
Bahat looked sideways at Keshun, who had been called because he was particularly confident in the magic circle in the space of Ouroboros. Keshun was a magic circle genius who far exceeded his expectations.
‘This guy is also a monster of talent. Adrias, how the hell did you know in advance and become friends?’
Considering the people who were by Adrias’ side in the first place, there was nothing particularly surprising about Keshun.
What Bahat was curious about was how he was able to build relationships with only these people.
“Come to think of it, I was there too.”
“yes?”
“It’s a joke. Get to work quickly.”
Even while working, the Devourers came and brought all sorts of magic stones and precious magic reagents.
Thanks to this, Bahat, who completed the magic circle at a tremendous speed, was able to finish it within no time.
“It is complete.”
A complex magic circle was created around Adrias. Seeing this, Biante stepped back and sighed.
“I’m sure you’ll have to hold on…….”
“Hmm, you’re saying this because you don’t know him, but he’s not the kind of guy who’s going to die at this level. When you have time to worry, hurry up and make a potion or go and help.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“The magic circle can only be maintained if I exist. I cannot leave this place.”
Bahat pointed to the magic circle drawn under his feet and said.
“I will activate the magic circle now. I’ll be trapped in the slowed down time too, so make a potion quickly. Aren’t the world’s devourers and high-nosed warlocks unable to make a medicine that can save a single person?”
“Bahat!”
Uung-
Biante called him with a firm expression, but the magic circle had already been activated. She was able to guess the identity of the magic circle drawn on the floor where Bahat was standing belatedly.
‘A magic circle that increases the opponent’s time by consuming your own time.’
No matter how 10 wizards on the continent were, they weren’t omnipotent. Besides, since it was an improvised magic circle, it couldn’t be perfect no matter how good the materials were used.
“…why do you go that far?”
The magic of the oath that Adrias used to hide the fact that he was a black magician was by no means ordinary magic. It was a technique that put a lot of pressure on the caster himself, and I had never heard of Bahat using it.
“Shall we go, Biante?”
“Ha, yes.”
Biente, who was awakened from thoughts by the voice of Keshurn, nodded.
Bahat’s idea was good.
Reviving Adrias was more urgent than anything else.
**
Wow—!
The mighty shouts echoing across the battlefield warmed the soldiers’ blood. The sounds of drums and trumpets soon blended together, foreseeing the bloody mayhem that would soon occur.
“Whoop whoop whoop.”
“Don’t be nervous. You can’t be nervous.”
Louis hardened his expression as he saw the soldiers struggling to take care of themselves.
It has already been three years since the war with the Confederation of Southern Kingdoms broke out. The madness of war spread to the whole continent, including the empire, and now there was no place that did not fight.
“Sir Louis! Where is Sir Louis!”
“Here it is.”
Louis turned his head at the words urgently looking for himself. It was a sudden call in a situation where we were perched on a hill and prepared for the upcoming clash.
“His Excellency Jerich is urgently looking for him.”
“Isn’t His Excellency Jerich in the western battlefield?”
“I’ve been contacting you through the communication port. Let’s go.”
An ominous feeling passed through Louis.
However, for now, as the staff said, they returned to the camp.
“charge!”
Upon returning to the camp, the order to charge came from the hill where they were originally located. Louis, who looked over his shoulder, bit his lip.
‘Why am I doing this.’
A lot has happened in the last 3 years.
Many wizards have gone missing due to the dimensional separation of Fortion, the city of wizards, and there were famous warlocks from Bahat Alven, the head of the Alven duchy.
‘Senior Adrias.’
And Louis’ idol, Adrias, was also on the missing list.
The war suddenly began when the continent was in shock due to an unprecedented event. As if they were waiting for the accident of Fortion, the Southern Kingdoms Union launched a surprise attack on the empire in a chaotic gap.
“Loyalty!”
“Loyalty.”
Louis entered the barracks after being roughly greeted by the camp guard. Then, there were nobles who were still having heated discussions.
“Loyalty. Louis Atman answered the call.”
“huh? Oh, it’s a sword dragon. There is a communication from His Excellency Jerich. Go over there and get it.”
Lewis struggled to control his expression as he passed the tactical table with his head down. It was because they felt keenly during the past year of participating in the war that the reason they fought was not for the sake of the soldiers, but for their own benefit.
‘……He’s sick of it.’
It was not Lewis’ will to go to war. It was the will of Maximin, who taught instead of the academy, which was temporarily closed due to the war.
‘War is good nourishment. You have nothing more to learn from me. Go and experience it for yourself.’
Thanks to his relationship with Adrias, the Four Chambers, who continued to connect with Maximin, were able to learn the sword from him for two years.
Even though Maximin taught, he just gave without paying anything in return.
‘Why are you doing this to us?’
‘Because that’s what Adrias wanted.’
After recalling a conversation from the past for a moment, Louis immediately remembered his friends. The two members of the family were in their respective estates, and Benjamin…
“Sir Lewis is here.”
Louis, who was lost in thought, accepted the communication artifact.
“My loyal Louis Atman.”
-Yes Sir Louis. How are you? How about some wires?
“It remains. Is His Excellency all right?”
-That’s it. In fact, the situation here is a bit unreasonable.
Louis held back a sigh.
He said he would only stand on the battlefield against the Confederation of Southern Kingdoms while participating in the war, but it seemed wrong when he looked at the other party’s tone.
-……Let’s say it. Sir Lewis was called this way.
“Your Excellency, it’s a presumptuous statement, but I’m not dealing with the people of the Empire like before…”
-Uh-huh! How could they be the same imperial people! The rebel weightlifters are worse than the Confederacy!
The Confederacy wasn’t the only reason the Empire’s war was frantic.
The Western Noble Union’s civil war broke out at the same time, and the eastern kingdoms, which had been quiet, were also secretly showing their teeth.
In particular, the movement of the religious leader Seonguk among the eastern kingdoms was strange.
-I have already issued an order here, so you have to come all the way here within 5 days.
“……All right.”
Took!
Leaving behind the disconnected communicator nervously, Lewis came out.
“Western ……”
The Western Rebels were made up of the Moheim family as the main axis. But for Lewis, there was something more important than that.
“Cromwell.”
The Cromwell family was there.
