Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (5)
The forest was not big.
Because of this, I could clearly see the dark clouds covering the sky, the lightning, and even the lightning striking in the distance.
– Rumbling…
However, the situation where Rachel was was not much different from Euria, so it was difficult to concentrate for a long time and look at the situation.
First of all, what is accurate is that Euria also met an unexpected opponent and started fighting. And the other person seems to be a wizard.
I felt the ground moving and writhing under my feet.
“Is the guest over there also a wizard who uses water?”
These are the people that Euria and Alan heard about.
The five people who said they would use the power of the Sword Master came. The good news was that not all of them were as powerful as the warriors of the Great Desert, and the unfortunate thing was that with their level of power, they had no problem annihilating soldiers in an instant.
Rachel looked around with a somber expression. I wondered if anyone had survived, but sadly I couldn’t feel the energy of anyone alive. They tried to protect the soldiers through several attacks, but in the end, they were unable to protect any of them, and Rachel killed two swordsmen.
There are three left.
Rachel focused on the energy of the earth.
I continued to look for where the people were moving on the floor.
– Rumbling….
The sound of thunder rumbling in the distant sky gradually becomes louder.
– Tadat!
And through that time, I finally heard the footsteps of three people running toward Rachel from all directions. Rachel quickly released the magic power she had prepared.
– Kuguaang!
One warrior and two swordsmen. The ground they were going to step on sank to the ground. At the same time, the surrounding dirt rose and formed several giant hands.
The warrior who felt the movement of the floor lifted his body high. In contrast, the two swordsmen lost their balance momentarily, and a firm grip made of rock stretched out toward their legs. One escaped and one did not.
– Crack!
A horrifying sound of bones breaking was heard. Rachel, who could no longer fight, looked away from the other two and looked at the other two who were still rushing towards her.
– Squishy…!
The ground under my feet moved again. The warrior who had dodged Rachel’s attack by jumping high quickly changed direction and took refuge elsewhere. The ankle of one person who was not quick enough to notice sank into the ground. A swamp that suddenly formed from ankles to shins to thighs began to engulf the swordsman.
– Kwaaak!
The prosecutor extended his sword. And then he plunged his sword into the hard rock.
Then the rock, which turned into melted ice cream, gently passed the sword. The prosecutor’s body, which had once again lost its support, slowly sank head-to-head into the ground.
Rachel, who had taken her eyes off the prosecutor’s final scream, turned her head again.
Even if it melted rocks, cut rocks and sent them flying, lifted and collapsed the ground, and even caused small earthquakes, it avoided them all. With a quick movement, he stepped on a small pebble, jumped, dodged it, and ran again.
– Hwiik!
The warrior’s sword, which had already reached close range, swung towards Rachel. Rachel’s eyes were no faster than the warrior’s. Because of this, I couldn’t follow the movement exactly.
In an instant, the ground Rachel was stepping on was pushed back. Rachel’s new model, which was right in front of her, was moved to a distance. Rachel, who avoided the warrior’s sword while standing still, moved her magic. All the rocks around the warrior rose up and flew towards the warrior.
– Kaaaaang! Kaang!
After cutting or blocking one or two rocks, the warrior turned again. Then he stepped on a flying rock and thrust his sword at Rachel. This time, without fail, Rachel’s body flew away and the warrior cut into the air again.
At other times, the floor on which the warrior stands moves further away. Rachel’s body jerked and moved away, and the warrior rushed after her, swinging his sword ceaselessly. Even though he dodged it, fired sharp rocks, and raised sand to block his view, the warrior responded without the slightest panic or surprise and aimed at Rachel.
“Haa……”
There wasn’t much magic for the attack. Because the consumption of magical power was considerable while traveling from the palace to the forest, there was not much magic left that could be used.
Should I run away with the remaining magical power?
Rachel chuckled. Since there is a difference in speed, I know that it would be easier if I ran away. If he did that, he knew well where the warrior’s sword would be pointed.
– Hwiik!
The warrior’s sword flies again.
I said hello to Veronica and left.
Did you tell your father?
The moment when Rachel, who was momentarily recalling her memories, gathered her strength once again and launched a rock spike towards the warrior.
– Howling!
A fireball flew towards the warrior with a sound that would never be heard here. The warrior, who was about to swing his sword after dodging Rachel’s rock spike, twisted his body to avoid a sudden fireball.
– Quang!
A huge fireball crashed into the ground and exploded with a loud noise.
Before he could figure out what was happening, another fire flew towards the warrior. Two or three times in a row, he continued to push the warriors.
Rachel pushed back the feet of the warrior who was running at her at high speed. There was no time to see who was there. First of all, warrior first.
– Quaaaang! bang!
The whip of flame, the spear of flame, and the mass of flame endlessly targeted the warrior’s life. The edges of the warrior’s clothes were on fire, and his eyes were filled with deep murderous intent.
The warrior’s body jumped high.
Rachel used her magic. I quickly calculated where the warrior would step. I channeled all my remaining strength and sent a spell beneath the seemingly normal forest ground.
– Blame it!
The warrior took a step.
The ground beneath the ground, which was not noticeable at all on the outside, suddenly turned into sand and disappeared, revealing its true appearance. Dozens and hundreds of sharp spears rose from the floor. Another wizard who came to Rachel’s aid detonated a huge explosion above the warrior’s head.
– Kwaaaaang!
The warrior’s body, which tried to float again after stepping on the tip of the spear, was caught up in the aftermath of the explosion. I was thrown towards the floor as if pushed by a great force. And on the floor…
– Kwasik!
With a sound that was never pleasant, the life of the last remaining warrior ended. Rachel frowned, and the gray-robed wizard hidden in the darkness finally emerged.
“Lord Grace.”
A voice that seems familiar yet unfamiliar.
Rachel, who had been staring at Rob for a while, smiled slightly as she finally realized something.
“President of the Secretia Association.”
“His Majesty the Crown Prince told me to go away for a while, but I didn’t know something like this was happening.”
Mayrin Ronds, the flame wizard of the 6th Circle and the head of the Magicians Association of Secretia, whom I had met the morning before, grinned.
“I’m glad it’s not too late.”
Rachel nodded and raised her gaze.
At that moment, purple lightning began to fall from the sky.
* * *
Dark clouds settle in the clear sky and lightning strikes.
– Quang! bang!
In the wet forest between the shield protecting the soldiers, purple lightning, very similar to Euria’s hair, streaked down and struck the ground. A spectacle that cannot be created in the hands of an ordinary 5th circle master wizard connects heaven and earth.
– Blah blah blah!
– Quaaaang!
The hand stretched out toward the sky had no intention of coming down, and dozens of lightning strikes fell endlessly on the spot Euria was looking at.
Since the soldiers of Secretia and the knight leading them had died, other knights who had taken temporary command of the remaining soldiers looked at the scene with tired faces from across the shield.
– Quang! bang! Quaaaang!
After the last lightning struck, thick, thick smoke rose a little later.
The land that was once full of water became a black ashes, the rocks were scorched and broken, and the beautiful trees were broken into pieces and scattered in all directions. After confirming this, Euria quietly lowered her arm.
Euria’s strongest attack.
It is a power that instantly turns ordinary Zeon soldiers with healing powers into ashes. If it’s one person, you can kill it. If it’s two people, you can kill it. If there is a shield, you can break it, and if it has healing properties, you can burn its heart.
So, there is nothing difficult about it.
“… Wow.”
I thought it was work.
A place in the forest that has turned into a heap of ashes.
A happy smile appeared on Euria’s lips as she saw the wizard standing in perfect condition without a single scratch.
A red shield full of a cloudy feel that is similar to but distinctly different from the fire shield created by Alan. It was clearly a wizard from Zeon.
“…… pass.”
It was spherical.
A woman with crimson hair like a burning flame.
The 6th circle wizard, who was like Euria’s second teacher who taught her water magic, looked at Euria for a moment and then turned his head. Along with that, I felt a strong magical energy. The mana surrounding the atmosphere began to swirl again.
– Pajik Pajijik!
There was no reply, but a purple sphere was also created at the tip of Euria’s finger, which was not meant to be a reminder or a solution.
– Munch!
Euria drew out the power of water.
The water that had accumulated on the floor moved as if it were alive. The water droplets that were scattered here and there gathered in one place and rose into the air.
– Jijijijik!
Euria’s electricity was contained in each of the countless water beads. And it was shot like an arrow towards the Zeon wizard called Gina.
Gina waved her arm. A whirlwind of cold energy rushed by. All of the water spheres that Euria had fired froze on the spot and fell.
A spear of ice created in the air is shot towards Euria, who is standing high up. Euria, who easily escaped the attack by teleporting, created a spark-filled water spear and sent it back in the same way.
Gina also teleported as the attack came without any threat to freeze and break it.
– Kugwagwagwang!
– Pajijik!
Euria, aiming for that moment, once again raised water from the floor and sent a strong electric current through the ground where Gina stepped on. When Gina’s ice spear was aimed at Euria once again, a long streak of lightning stretched out from Euria’s hand, which dodged it, and struck Gina’s shield.
– Quang!
Gina’s body disappeared along with the binge. At the same time, Gina’s body appeared in front of the shield that covered the soldiers. Gina touches the shield once with her fingertip.
– Damn it! Damn it!
Pure white frost surrounded the shield and froze. Euria, with a stiff face, strengthened her shield and attacked Gina, but Gina was no longer there.
Gina, who used teleportation once more and climbed a nearby tree, smiled slightly at Euria. And he stretched out his arm toward Euria’s shield visible beneath his feet.
– Crack! Get the card!
There was an unpleasant sound.
– Quaaaang!
The water that had gathered at Gina’s feet burst out in all directions like an explosion. I tried to block the attack against the shield, but unfortunately it only hit the red shield and did not block the attack.
– Whirring!
A long whip filled with thin ice swung at Euria. Euria spreads her shield to block it and sends a long bolt of lightning to the other side of her whip. In a split second, the electric attack that reached the opponent through the whip hit Gina’s shield hard. I’m stuck.
At that moment, Gina’s magic power, which was divided into the inside of the shield, moved the water. When the soldiers looked down at their feet, they felt like the floor was rising.
– Quaaaang!
-Ssam! Scum! Slut!
Gina’s water rose through the floor that was not protected by a shield and froze sharply. Each one becomes a dagger and pierces each and every soldier.
It happened in an instant.
The screams of the soldiers scattered on both sides were heard for an instant and then stopped. In the end, everyone died. Not a single person survived.
Wizard of the 6th circle. And Euria from the 5th circle.
The difference is just that one number. Difference in accumulated mana. The difference in horsepower. Just because of the difference.
“shit.”
Euria clenched her fists.
“… search.”
A purple spark glowed intensely at the tip of the fist.
It wasn’t much to do with him, but he put off feeling sorry for those he couldn’t save. From the beginning, I put off the confusion about the situation in which I was fighting for my life with someone I was close to.
Whether it’s the teacher, the 6th circle, Xeon, or whatever, that bastard is just an enemy.
– Pajijik! Pajik!
Euria creates a spear full of electric energy and sends it towards Gina. A long afterimage remained in the bright light.
Gina spread her shield to avoid Euria’s attack.
And he raised his coldness as if he was no longer bothered to deal with Euria. All around Euria begins to freeze.
The endlessly created water spear left Euria’s hand and flew towards Gina. Everything was blocked by the red shield and flowed out in vain. Gina ignored the useless water pooling at her feet. Even if electricity flows through it, it will be blocked anyway.
The tree swaying in the wind stopped moving. It froze. The ground where the trees were rooted was frozen white. The fallen leaves that were rolling around froze and stopped moving. Everything around Euria was frozen as if she were standing in the middle of a great desert. And the coldness quickly approached Euria.
“It wasn’t a dual attribute until you said your final goodbyes to me. I guess that pebble is quite useful.”
“many.”
As soon as Euria’s short answer to her question was heard, the ground beneath Gina’s feet exploded.
“It’s unfair. I had a hard time trying to do this. I didn’t know that one rock could have dual properties.”
– Kwaaaaang!
Euria’s attack was once again directed at Gina. I’m stuck.
‘If you learn electricity, shouldn’t lightning strike you as well? ‘Grandma’s magic is so boring.’
‘If you create a stream of electricity in your palm, does lightning fall from the sky? If you like lightning so much, try making about seven circles.’
‘How long will we wait until then? ‘I’m going to grow old and die.’
The eyes of the strong are slower than those of the weak.
Euria correctly calculated when the cold coming from all directions would encroach upon her. Gina did not notice that the water she was stepping into was gradually getting warmer.
Euryan Siren.
‘… I’ll just make it myself.’
To be exact, he is a 5th circle master wizard with dual attributes of water and electricity.
That’s why it’s possible.
When electricity strikes a hot cloud full of moisture, it becomes lightning. If you don’t have the magic to summon hot clouds full of moisture, you can just create them.
– Damn it! Damn it!
Euria’s robes no longer flutter. It started to freeze.
Euria did not avoid. No matter where she escaped, the ice would follow Euria and freeze her, so she protected herself with a shield and continued to attack with water.
send water Water flows. The water is heated. It boils.
Something hot and humid passed by and pooled under the ground I stepped on.
– Kugugugugung… The
ground under Gina’s feet began to cry.
Gina lowered her head. I tried to teleport. The thick sticky water clings to Gina’s feet.
‘How easy is it to make magic?’
‘If it doesn’t work out, it’s over.’
I didn’t waste precious time going all the way to Riverne just to soak it in water and give it a good electric shock. I didn’t just throw away the wind magic and fire magic that seemed so fun and train the boring water magic to Circle 5.
I felt like wearing an archmage name tag was a long way off in my life, so I just learned two things for convenience. I went through all that trouble just to try that one thing.
– Kuaaaaang! bang! Quaaaang!
To strike with lightning!
– Kwaaaaang! Quagwagwang! Quagwagwagwang! Quagwang! bang!
The power of the lightning created at very close range was beyond imagination.
Dozens and hundreds of thunderbolts coming from beneath my feet mercilessly shattered the red shield. The red barrier, which was thicker than ever, shattered and disappeared.
A bolt of lightning struck the naked wizard.
– Kwaaaaang!
Because the eyes of the strong are higher than those of the weak.
The body of the wizard, who had no idea that a magician of only the 5th circle would be able to use such strong magic again, and that a lightning bolt would strike him from beneath his feet, burned black. A thunderbolt struck my heart.
“With nothing more than a rock… How dare you start a fight with a real person?”
Six circles disperse. It burned. Euria’s voice was heard through the life-threatening roar.
“Go back.”
That was the last time.
* * *
Familiar footsteps.
A familiar voice.
“Calian.”
I fell asleep in a familiar-looking room and had a deep, dreamless sleep. I was in such a deep sleep that I only realized that someone was in the room with me when the sound of footsteps came closer and a low voice called my name.
Calian, who had been sleeping without making a loud sound, opened his eyes quietly. Instead of the lavender eyes of the person who had once been lying there, clear eyes like red rubies looked around for a moment.
“…… yes.”
Calian, who was standing a step away from the bed and looked up for a moment at the person who called out to him like an unripe lime, gave a short answer and stood up. And I held my breath for a moment.
My back still hurts. The feeling in my waist came back completely, and the pain that felt like it was going to break came. The detoxification was complete and the bleeding had stopped, but the wound was too large and deep to heal in one night. The poison was strong.
Calian looked at the bananas piled up next to him for a moment and laughed. I don’t know if Hina was there, but I felt like I shouldn’t eat anything right now. Calian, who had decided to touch the wound on his back once it had healed, looked up at Plantz.
“for a moment.”
“Yes. Please speak.”
After looking at Calian for a moment, who still didn’t frown and couldn’t tell how much better he was, Plantz began explaining the situation.
The fact that around the time Calian, Plantz, and Arsene came to this villa, a fight broke out in the forest, Euria and Rachel were attacked, and all of Secretia’s soldiers were killed. Chase moved the Wizards’ Association before Devlan arrested the two wizards on charges of murdering Secretia’s soldiers, so the two wizards are now staying inside the Association building.
“…… ah.”
Calian, who had heard the whole story, made a short noise.
Even though I was so careful, I fell into Devlan’s trap.
I finally learned the identity of the driver who visited Plants. Devlan, who was smart and a little more experienced than Kalian, guessed how Kalyan would move and how Plantz would move, and ordered the knight. It was designed to make people think that there would be a movement among the nobles to oust Devlan. It was predicted that Kalian’s great power would be directed to the forest. I don’t know if he joined hands with Zeon or was under Zeon’s control, but he sent additional power to kill the two wizards.
I planned this by killing all of my soldiers with my own hands.
“So…Brother Chase moved the Wizards’ Association and made it completely clear that he was against Devlan.”
I’ve been trying to contact Chase since a while ago, but there’s been no return. Calian sighed for a moment.
“You shouldn’t even think about moving Teylan.”
If Devlan takes advantage of the current situation, he can plot Chase’s treason. Although he would not go so far as to kill the only son who would succeed him, he would use this as an excuse to completely place Chase under his control.
There’s no way Chase wouldn’t know that. We moved the association without knowing anything.
“What are you going to do?”
Plantz asked quietly.
Calian gave a quick greeting to Arianne, who was standing far away, and grinned while looking at Arsene.
“I’m in pain…I can’t move much.”
I wasn’t talking about walking or running movements.
Plantz, who was looking at Calian’s bracelet shining, laughed.
– Master.
Dad is calling.
My dad is very strong.
