EP.212 Prisoner on the Cliff
The sun, which had burned through the daytime, slowly entered the stage of incomplete combustion as firewood ran out.
Maybe it was because the meta conveyor belt moved from west to east, so it felt like evening came earlier today. Maybe the long chase that had been going on since morning had chased away even the spare time.
Having regained my composure, I murmured as I watched the slowly setting sun.
“Whoa. He barely escaped.”
In terms of results, it’s a huge success. Because we broke off the military pursuit before the sun went down.
However, the process was not as smooth as expected. It was the result of various events and variables.
In any case, I praised the regressor who was the number one contributor to the escape.
“Miss Shay! That’s amazing! It was so powerful that the heavens and the earth vibrated and the earth split apart! How can you get that much power?”
“Oh that? No big deal.”
The regressor waved his hand and scratched his chin when he saw Jizan hanging from his waist.
‘I tried to see if Majang could do it with Jizan after seeing him shake it, but… did it work?’
The generals who had their daughters taken away reacted more violently than expected, as if they were real fathers of stupid daughters. In particular, the enraged majang shook the meta conveyor belt and landed on the ground despite the warnings of the generals.
The meta conveyor belt is a flowing land. I can step on it, but in the end, the flow is a combination of magic and earth magic.
The magi couldn’t touch the ground itself, but it interfered with some of the flow and lifted it up and swung it like a whip.
Even I wondered at the sight of a monster protruding from the ground.
However, Jizan, one of the swords of the regressors, is the very essence of earth magic. Against the Majang, the regressor used Jizan’s Earth Spell to calm the land.
‘The power of Jiseon?! no way!’
While Majang witnessed the power of his old friend and was embarrassed, the regressor who felt Jizan resonating with earth magic tilted his head and cut the ground lightly.
Then the meta conveyor belt broke.
As if a dam had been built with the boundary of Jizan’s sword scar, the land that followed stopped.
As the aorta of the military was blocked, the generals, the horsemanship, and the chanting were literally tied to the main army of the military, who had come close at hand. The soldiers couldn’t help but watch as we walked away while being stunned at the terrible thing the regressor had done.
This phenomenon did not last long. Even if you say that the flowing river is blocked with a dam, it is improvised to the end. The pressure of the land far exceeded the water, and the dam soon collapsed.
Still, it’s still the same as being tied up, and anyway, since we’ve realized that this side can cut the flow, we won’t be quick to approach….
Well done, regressor. If you have overflowing energy and earth magic, you can even cut off the flowing land.
by the way.
“It’s nothing. If you had such a great ability, you should have said it sooner!”
“It’s Jizan’s power, but what?”
Even though he waved his hand pretending it was nothing, the regressor was very happy inside. Enough to shrug my shoulders.
‘It’s a great ability! The power of Jizan can control those affected by Earth Sorcery. And most of all, he freely used earth magic, which can only be used by trusting in the Earth Mother and being taught by it! This is a great achievement!’
okay. How happy I am to have unlocked a new incredible ability. Even earth magic is useful because it can be used in all kinds of places.
By the way, a regressor.
Does it sound like I’m praising you?
“Even with Jizan’s power, what Mr. Shei wields will not change! It is the master who derives the power of the weapon. Because Mr. Shay controls that power!”
“is it? hmm what Because I used to use power even with angels. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Jizan has similar powers.”
‘okay. It’s a waste to use Jizan only as a heavy stick. It’s just that the only one who can handle Jizan’s power properly is a freshman-class earth mage of the level of Jisun, so I couldn’t find it. That’s why Seonghwangcheong also entrusted the recovered Jizan to me…
‘
“I also realized during the battle. The magistrate tried to raise the ground and attack it, so I followed suit.”
‘Even if it’s dangerous, it’s good to have a good fight first. Because there are many cases where I get inspiration from the sparks that arise from the conflicts that arise during real battles. Whoops. I’m still not very confident in Earth Sorcery. If I can use all of the powers of both the Angel and Jizan…!’
The regressor is as excited as when he discovers a new toy. For a while, she was drawing a hopeful future.
“wow. Did you just draw the ground without knowing what would happen? without thinking?”
“huh! …huh?”
‘Without thinking? Something feels strange.’
Did you know now, regressor!
“A person who doesn’t even know his own strength wields it? Do you know what others will be like?”
“uh?”
and. I divided the question and answer ten times until I understood the true meaning of my words. When the regressor sensed something, I rallied.
“Are you kidding me? I was in front of Mr. Shei, so if it wasn’t for the hell, I would have been swept away by the waves of the earth? That’s not water. It’s land! If even your feet are buried, you will end up as a burial person with your body caught in the crevices of rocks. Do you feel like doing that?”
“It’s not just for fun! The magician did something similar. I tried my best to stop it, and then I came up with a good idea!”
“Finish? Good idea? Are you kidding me? If you have that kind of power, you should think about using it strategically! If you can use earth magic, you should have thought about it beforehand and practiced it beforehand!”
regressor. I don’t know why he’s so convulsive, from his personality to his ideas to his awakening.
Can’t you just let me read your thoughts a little bit? The time to put an idea into action is so short that even a mind reader can’t react! You could have been swept away by the waves of dirt!
“Your situation was urgent!”
“So, if I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry! No Mr. Shay! Is it a piece of toilet paper stuck in the corner of the room? If you have the power to cut off the ground, let me know in advance! If it were me, I thought I would gather as much energy as I could and use it properly!”
“what?! When we fight, we only talk about things that don’t even show nose pokes!”
“yes? Sounds like denying some achievement. Can’t you see this result now?”
I lifted the chain in my hand until it jingled. The chain that was tied somewhere swayed briefly.
At the end of that, the youngest general in the military. Musketeer Historia, the daughter of the military leader, was tied up. With tired eyes and a cigarette in his mouth.
“Who is this here? Musketeer Historia. who caught him? it’s me Who tied you up like this and made you a prisoner? me too Who used Historia to blackmail military generals so they couldn’t go after them? This is me too!”
Add facts to facts to facts. I don’t know the process, but looking at the results, I’m the number one contributor.
Even though there was clear evidence in front of his eyes, the regressor continued to insist on what was unfair.
“I knocked him down halfway and drained all his strength!”
“Ah yes. Defeat them halfway~ and face off with the horseman halfway with a whistle~ and draw the ground halfway for fun~. Are you going to live life so loosely without anything certain? How can you live dozens of lives?”
‘Oh, how did you know…?’
It must have been just a word, so let’s pass it like this! How did you know! I can’t even joke!
‘No, that’s just what I said. Anyway, why should I listen to this? How hard I worked!’
“In addition, the last thing I dealt with was a butterfly! You only dealt with exhausted musketeers and tied them up!”
“It is easy to say. If it was that easy, Mr. Shay would have done it all for you, wouldn’t it? If you had subdued Lia in one second and tied her up, you wouldn’t have heard such words.”
‘If that was the case, it would have been so long ago…!’
It was funny how he couldn’t bear to refute and flinched. I laughed teasingly and rattled the chain.
“Just as dried beans are beans and soaked beans are beans, exhausted growth is also growth! Even if it is a general who is on the verge of dying from exhaustion and injury, he will not be vigilant and attack with all his might in perfect preparation! They even defeated and captured the six castles!”
I pulled the chain again. Historia followed my gestures with an expression similar to the one she had when she chewed on cigarettes thinking it was cigarettes, but belatedly realized that it was actually a cigarette.
“look. This ridiculous sight of being incapacitated by being tightly bound with a hard chain for being a great general and boasting!”
Uncomfortable as I continued to pull and shake the chain, Historia glared at me with a cold, subdued gaze.
“Stop pulling.”
“ha?”
There’s a lot of talk about the caught subject. Shaking my head, I approached Historia, whose arms were tied behind her back, and tapped her cheek.
“hey. Are you unaware of your situation? You are a prisoner, a prisoner. uh?”
tuk tuk. He slapped his cheek just enough to make him feel bad.
No matter what intention you act on, it is difficult to expect that intention to be conveyed straight away. Because it is not a word that is easily misunderstood and perverted. However, bullying that makes the other person feel bad is an exception. It is a dialogue method that produces honest results in the world.
The constant tapping made Historia’s mood even worse.
“I told you to stop.”
“What if I don’t stop? What are you going to do? uh? You’re only a military commander, but you’re no different from a prisoner here, right? A prisoner holding his head stiff huh?”
Kww. The superiority of wielding Eul in this overwhelming position. I feel good.
When I was in the middle of the day. Historia, who was counting the beats, turned her head furiously in line with my next gesture. Her cheek hit my hand hard.
With a click, my hand came out as if it had been whipped.
…it hurts.
My hand from being hit on the cheek hurts!
“…Miss Shay! Look at that prisoner! You slapped my hand in the face on a prisoner subject! Beat me up quickly!”
Historia, who had been slapped by my hand, was looking back and forth with a drowsy face again.
The regressor muttered incredulously.
“If you are going to do it, you should do it. I am your prisoner.”
“Are you going to be that cold? Even if I caught you, we are colleagues! We must take responsibility together! Tied up sex growth is also sex growth. What if they regain their strength, release their restraints, and attack us!”
“…groan.”
‘That too. Unless you’re going to kill them, you have to keep an eye on them. Mmm. It’s not a bad choice to hold them captive for now.’
The moment Historia was taken prisoner, the movement of the army noticeably slowed down. Aside from the fact that she is familiar enough to be called the daughter of the army, she is also one of the military’s best forces. The fact that she was incapacitated was a huge power loss even for the military.
Tirkanjaka, the founder of regressors and vampires who wield the sword of earth and sky. Even three is not enough, but it is difficult to compete with the two of the majang and jeolchang.
‘Since I can cut off the ground, the other side can’t put in an army either. However, the number of fortified castles is not enough to attack with a small number of elites. Maybe we can negotiate with the military using prisoners of war… Uh, but the story is suspiciously good.’
The regressor, who had been deep in thought, suddenly looked at Historia suspiciously.
‘But why did the musketeer be captured? You probably don’t know what it means to be subdued…?’
