Chapter 75. I need to become an archmage (6)
A little bit of this.
I think it’s similar.
Calian took a deep breath and felt arsenic.
Maybe it’s because it hasn’t been long since I took on Bern’s form, or maybe it’s because it hasn’t been long since I swung a sword as Bern. Why does that day come to mind so much these days?
“Maybe it’s because my back feels heavy.”
After finishing mumbling, which was obviously to himself, Calian looked back for a moment. I saw a long bridge that looked no different from the castle gate that day. I also saw Slayman approaching the bridge.
He wasn’t big enough for anyone to carry him, but he was injured, so it would take quite a long time to cross that fragile bridge with support.
-Ssam!
– Suddenly!
– …… Cooung!
With his back to the bridge of Mount Shurinz, which was like the gate of Secretia, he cut down again one of Zeon’s knights who kept coming after him so much that white demons came to mind.
Slayman is still there.
The blood that extends to the top of the leg is black.
“The only thing that resembles him is that he doesn’t have the hair. Even the fact that he likes poison resembles Briesen.”
I finally realized why Slayman’s feet were so slow.
Same situation as Calian someday. The poison that has infiltrated the wound is spreading. Even though he is a stronger sword master than Calian, Slayman is very tired. There would have been no aura to block the poison that would have penetrated the flesh and directly reached the internal organs.
“Has the limit already been reached? There has been a lot of talk, prince.”
“Sir. I told you to add it. Please speak up a bit.”
-Ssam!
– Kagang!
The dagger that extended out as if to tell me something about the guy’s long hair was blocked by the sword of the warrior who had just spoken to Calian. Calian, who was looking at the grinning warrior, responded with a pretty smile. And once again, he moved his magic power and aura.
Calian’s dagger, which was blocked by the opponent’s sword, disappeared.
Immediately after that, it reappeared right in front of the warrior’s heart.
– …… Kwasik!
“Whether you talk too much or there is a limit, you can’t get past me.”
Mutterings directed at the person who had already given up his life flowed out.
– Kwaang kwaaaang!
– Quaaaaang quaggwagwang!
As if that were correct, a tremendous roar is heard.
I feel the ground beneath my feet vibrate and the leaves tremble from the force of the lightning. From there, I took another drink and saw them falling down the cliff, pushed by the waterfall-like water that burst from the mountain on the other side.
Calian, who was looking at that scene, was amazed for a moment.
Euryan Siren.
It is truly a walking natural disaster. No matter how good their resilience is, they won’t be able to survive if they fall into that valley. Wouldn’t this be an efficient way to deal with it without having to kill them all from above?
As expected, using both magic attributes…
– Wooooow!
– Slut!
– Kwasik!
“…… ah.”
Calian, who had cut off two more lives with the blue auror’s young red dagger, made a sound as if he had realized something.
Dual properties.
Before becoming an archmage who could no longer distinguish between attributes, there was Euria who realized how to fuse the magic of both attributes. With such a wizard by his side, why did he only question Teilan?
Maybe we can find a way to resolve the Auror conflict easier than we think. After all, magic and auror are techniques that use the same mana.
Calian, lost in these thoughts, used his sword once again.
– Ugh!
– Suddenly!
one.
One sword flew and pierced the heart of a warrior. It would be great if I could create multiple daggers like before. There was no need to reassure Slayman, so there was no reason to overdo it. Plus it’s true.
– I’m crying!
I’m in a hurry to stop the new oozing from my lips.
Calian, who had no intention of spitting it out and raising the enemy’s morale to the sky, swallowed the blood again. Then he opened his mouth again with an expression as if he had forgotten something.
A voice like a light wind was directed at the guys standing in front.
“Thirty-two.”
I stood still and counted the number of people I had killed.
Now there are five left.
After getting rid of those guys, cross the bridge and cut it off, take care of all the Zeon guys on the other side, and then go down the mountain.
– Sasasak!
– Let’s go!
His Majesty returned safely to Arpia Palace.
Pea hugs Lucy and Anne and rests again. Cornbeard ate his favorite grapefruit tea and cake and then went to take care of the white roses. While playing with Raven, I got scolded by Teacher, Yan, and Hina.
That would do it.
-Srumbling…!
– Chang!
-Chaeng!
I thought.
“…… under.”
The warrior who first recognized Calian’s condition and succeeded in holding on without being annihilated, even though he was the only five warriors, thanks to gathering Zeon’s warriors together, opened his mouth.
“I think you’ll be able to move your feet at this rate, prince.”
With just as many reinforcements at his back as Calian had killed so far.
Calian laughed.
I turned my head for a moment and checked behind me. I saw that Slayman had almost crossed the bridge. I turned my head forward again and checked them.
There are no wizards in sight that can be easily killed.
There are only six low-level swordsmen who will be of no use regardless of whether they have Auras or not.
That means.
“Where on earth are they pouring out like this? Wolf cubs.”
This means that all others are wolves of the great desert.
I don’t want to die fighting a losing battle here, and I can’t cross the bridge with them and put my companions on the other side in danger. This is not a situation where you can run away.
So what should I do with this?
– Ugh!
The worries didn’t last long.
Calian operated the Aurors.
– Slut!
– Kwasik!
– Cum, cum, cum!
– Suddenly!
– …… Boom!
Three daggers stretched out in an instant and pierced the hearts of those in front. The sight of the guys falling caught the attention of the remaining guys. And that moment.
– Taaat!
Calian kicked his foot.
Not towards them, but towards the back towards the bridge.
“I’m going to go across and cut off the bridge! Grab it!”
The warrior who noticed Calian’s condition shouted.
The warriors, who astutely grasped the situation, quickly followed Calian.
– Tuk.
Light steps came onto the bridge.
The warriors who followed Kalian also stepped on the bridge. When Calian takes a step, he can feel his motionless legs shaking.
– Bruises.
Calian took a step back.
And then another step and another step.
The warriors who stood in a single line on the narrow bridge continued to narrow the distance instead of rushing in. This is why, rather than fighting one-on-one and reducing the number, it is better to corner Calian, prevent him from cutting off the bridge, cross to the other side, and then surround and fight again.
– Tak.
Around the middle of the bridge.
Calian stopped.
Calian, who looked around and down for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry.”
A beautiful voice was directed at the warriors.
The warrior finally recognized what was contained in that voice and eyes and turned his head. I tried to shout to go back. Kalian’s pretty lips moved again, as if mocking that belated realization.
“I wasn’t planning on crossing over and cutting off.”
A whisper of death is heard.
A smile filled with flowers is drawn in the red eyes.
– Slut!
The red sword flashes.
* * *
Snap.
A loud sound came from Arsene’s left shoulder.
It didn’t hurt at all, but Arsene was startled by the noise and turned his head. Then the owner of the small hand that made the sound smiled and said.
-Your neck and shoulders are all healed, right?
It was true.
The pain in my neck and shoulders that made it difficult to chew and swallow soft bread baked with milk and eggs were completely gone. Arsene, who checked by wiggling his neck and shoulders a few times, smiled and nodded.
“Okay. You’re all better.”
– I had an infection in my nose, so I treated that too. It seems like you have a cold, so drink a lot of lemon tea.
“Oh, that’s right. My nose has been sore since last night.”
After saying this, Arsene turned his head towards those standing by him. The two division commanders Needlen and Damian, who, like Arsene, had been wounded in the battle with Calian, were smiling with normal faces.
In short, Arsene was the last to receive healing. Alan said do it.
No matter the order, receiving treatment is receiving it.
Arsene, who was momentarily disappointed that the wound had completely healed without leaving any room for scarring, opened his mouth to Hina.
“Thanks to you, I got better quickly. Thank you.”
– You have nothing to be thankful for. I fixed it because the kind prince requested it separately.
“Oh yeah.”
Arsene made a somewhat annoyed face.
Not only that, but so did Needlen.
After all, didn’t they both have a chance to be stabbed by Calian in ‘that battle’?
To be honest, the prince’s words were so harsh that I wondered if I should write a letter of resignation, but I gave up such bad thoughts. Only now did I realize what the prince meant when he said that. I will try really hard in the future. Needlen, who had to say something like this, has not yet talked to Calian. .
Just the day before, Calian had visited Needlen’s treatment room with Alan and Plantz, but he left immediately before even having a meaningful conversation and did not come back.
And Arsene.
He is the one who committed a major accident, and it might be better to go to Calian with an apology, a promise, or something else for himself. Because he remembered Calian’s words that Arsene had asked the king of that day for his name, he suddenly said, ‘Arsene Hertz, commander of the Balkan Legion.’ But I never thought that one word would have such an effect.
Anyway, Hina, who was looking at the two people who had such a close relationship and Damian, who was doing his best without any trouble and was comfortably injured, moved his hand.
– I heard that there are not enough treatment rooms. The three of you who are now okay, go out and get to work.
“That’s right. So are you going to treat the other members now?”
Hina shook her head.
– My vacation isn’t over yet. I told you. Just the three of us at the request of the kind prince.
“Oh yeah. I did.”
– I will now go to the cheerful lady.
“You mean Lady Lin?”
– yes.
“Why? Is there anything you need to see there?”
– I’m going to play with the cats and the duck.
Hina smiled once again.
Even though it will be exciting to watch the heavens and earth turn upside down and the sun disappear forever, he plans to respect Kalyan’s firm determination that he will never see dull dark circles forming under Hina’s eyes.
So, any sudden work while on vacation is over.
The meaning was that the rest should be treated on their own.
– If there is an emergency, please call me. Because you won’t be leaving the palace.
Of course, I did not forget my duty as a soldier.
After hearing Hina’s words, Arsene asked with a serious face.
“Did you hear the news too?”
– yes. The palace is empty and you don’t know who will attack it and when.
“Yes. But don’t worry too much. The corps commander Manasil is on guard, and not only are there no troops within the capital capable of entering the palace, but the security outside the outer walls has also been strengthened.”
– yes. I won’t worry.
“Please tell this to Lady Lin and Lord Castrin. “I don’t want you two or His Majesty the King of Secretia to feel uneasy.”
Hina nodded for a moment at these words, but her hand moved.
– Has the same force that was harassing the gentle prince intervened again?
“That’s right.”
Arsene answered honestly.
He just didn’t hear the story because Hina wasn’t there when Alan told him the story. Don’t Hina have the right to know what’s going on? “I can’t say for sure that it’s
them, but I’m sure. It looks like the guys sent by Zeon attacked the villa in Shurinz where Your Highness was staying.”
– The villa? Your Majesty?
“Have you not heard about that yet? Your Majesty has disappeared.”
Hina, who looked surprised for a moment, moved her hand.
– What if the Duke was also there and His Majesty disappeared? Is that power that strong? Or is there a lot of it?
“It’s strong and there are a lot of them. Wasn’t there always a lot? Since the Duke took refuge with His Highness, it seems like this time it will be similar or even more.”
– But I heard that it is difficult to enter and exit that place at any time.
“That’s right. Because there is a separate palace, the Margrave of Shurinz always pays attention to the identity of those entering and leaving… and closes the castle gates at the right time and guards them. So the prince also had doubts about him. “Where on earth did they appear so suddenly?”
A small sigh escaped Hina’s mouth.
Soon, Hina turned her head to look at the two division commanders standing behind her, and moved her hands with an apologetic look on her face.
– Just a moment, sir. I have something to say to the leader.
“Ah. Yes healer. I’ll go out first, Vice Commander.”
“Let’s talk.”
The two quick-witted division commanders said this and walked out of Arsene’s healing room.
After confirming that the door was closed, Hina took out a communication bead and placed it in Arsene’s hand. Several place names and places. It was because I had to mention it.
– This is just my opinion, Vice Commander. I thought about it for a moment in Secretia, but I couldn’t tell you about it because I had a lot of things to do there. “Okay
. Let’s talk.”
– Do you remember the first time the Vice Commander injured his shoulder?
“How could I forget that? “It was the day when our prince came to save me a month later and lovingly wrapped me in a bandage that he had made by tearing off my expensive clothes with his precious hands. He was so worried about my injury that he even willingly lent me his favorite horse.” Hina paused for a moment
. He burst out laughing.
If he knew that Arsene remembered that day like that, Calian’s face would have been regretful, saying that he should have wrapped his hair instead of his wound with that bandage. – Yes. That was the time for the Vice Commander and Siren Association President
. When we went to the Marriage of Briseen together, I heard that even before the Vice Commander was injured, he encountered those guys called Zeon and that the Siren Association President defeated them. “You didn’t do it alone
. I caught it too.”
– Anyway.
“Yeah. That’s right.”
– And while the Prince and His Majesty were on their way to the sea in Secretia, they also encountered them.
Calian, who had visited the beach, was returning after giving Plantz a crystal tablet as a gift, when he encountered them and was seriously injured. Thanks to that, a long scar appeared on Calian’s back. Of course, Arsene didn’t know about the scar, but he was with him when it happened. –
They also appeared when the Siren Association President and Vice Principal Grace visited Bridget’s Forest. Not long ago. I heard from Sir Hill that the place where he first met them was in the forest near Siegfried Duchy.
Arsene’s face hardened when he heard this.
It was because he seemed to know the gist of Hina’s story.
“Keep telling me.”
– It was in the forest that the Vice Commander and the Siren Association President encountered them and killed them all on their way to the Marquis of Briseen. After that, the place where the Vice Commander met them and was seriously injured was also in the forest. Those Zeons from Secretia were the prince. The place where they were waiting for him
was also “… a forest.”
– Yes, that’s right. It was a forest. When the prince first encountered those guys and took refuge with Duke Siegfried. Except for that time. It was all. It was all a forest. Whenever there seemed to be even a little bit of it, it was always a forest.
Hina’s black eyes looked into Arsene’s blue eyes. The
straight light that would not be stained by anything gazed at the light that would never lose its cool. -Shurinz, vice-corps commander. Shurinz is surrounded by mountains. Of course, there are forests everywhere. I
heard Hina’s words, which seemed to put an end to a long story.
The
coldness at the tip of Arsene’s fingers faded for a very moment.
Arsene, too. Because I’m not a fool.
Because I’m not someone who wouldn’t understand what Hina is trying to convey even with this level of explanation.
– Is the mother of the elves really on Kairis’ side?
Danu’s power to open the path to the forest.
Forests and forests anytime, anywhere. Danu’s power that can open a path between the two.
Because I understand that you should doubt it.
“Thank you, Lord Bern. “Thank you so much for letting me know.”
Hina nodded with a small smile.
Arsene took a long breath and quickly got out of bed. He put on the Vulcan Vice Commander’s robe over the clothes he had just put on and used his magic. This time, instead of sitting on Alan’s dining table, he went onto the expensive sofa, calculated without mistake where to sit, and then teleported. The place to be on guard right now is not the outside of the castle, but perhaps the forest
north
of the royal palace, protected by the Sispanians. Unlike the other forests, there is no protection at all. A huge forest near the royal palace that was created for a hunting competition.
Yes,
to spread the word that it may be a royal forest within the castle.
* * *
– Sorry to disturb you, Eila.
– Can you help me?
– Throw me the dagger. A little lower on the other side of the valley.
– The prince won’t do it.
– It’s difficult to do that, so I do it now. –
You must have been hurt a lot.
– Yes. It’s a little difficult.
– Okay. When do you throw it?
– Right now.
Calm. I realized that the words spoken in the voice were quite urgent.
“… Kalian.”
I knew thanks to Plantz’s low voice. If not, I would have been really ready to put those words ‘immediately’ into action right away. I wouldn’t have kicked it out and run away.
Of course, if I had, I would have at least made sure that there wasn’t a single dagger left in my arms.
– Tadat!
Anyway, Aila quickly ran away.
There was a bridge that Slayman would have taken a long time to cross. I ran towards the place at a speed that I was confident was the fastest I was born with. And only then did I search through my arms.
“Ah.”
There was nothing to grab.
All I could catch were small magical bullets the size of a finger. I had them tied to my calf. Eila, who was contemplating taking out another dagger, gave up that thought. It was significantly heavier than a dagger meant for throwing, and she didn’t have the confidence to throw it to the other side of the valley and stick it in. There was no time to ask Kirie or Slayman to do it for her
.
– There is a sound of the bridge twisting, and
the sound of the remaining pillar barely supporting the bridge tilting
.
I see Kalyan.
I see red eyes smiling at my brother who is looking at me, as if telling him not to worry. Even though he must have known that his new subordinate, who has taken him as his master, has not yet been able to throw anything, he is seen smiling as he trusts his hand with all his might and entrusts his life to it.
“Calian!”
An urgent voice is heard.
– Kugung… Kwaaang!
A more urgent roar is heard.
Kalian’s body loses its footing. There is red energy in those hands. I look at Eila without closing my eyes at all. and.
crash
It falls.
“shit.”
Aila let out a short swear word.
I pulled out the hairpin that was on my head.
I threw the hairpin with all my might.
– Slut!
I wonder if it was really made to fix hair.
I wonder if it was made to be plugged into someone else’s hair instead of my own.
The mithril hairpin, which had a better center of gravity than most memorizers, flew through the wind. A silver line crossed the valley. The moment that followed with my eyes passed by in vain. And finally.
– Wow!
I was hooked.
It went straight into a crevice in the rock on the cliff on the other side.
Then, as if he had been waiting for it
– oops!
A strong red light emanated from the bottom of the valley.
– Whirring!
– Kwaaak!
It seems like he will never let go.
A red-colored auror grabbed Aela’s hairpin.
The blue diamond caught the sunlight and spread light in all directions.
Even though it’s like this…
That hairpin is really pretty.
While Aila was thinking about this after seeing that.
– Coo…!
– Boom! Coooooo! Coo!
The sound of countless things falling and crashing to the bottom of the valley was heard. I heard a sound that sent a chill down my spine. I could see red dots scattered over the distant valley flowing down along the blue water of the valley, as if it were water made by melting Anneusia.
– Crack, tap!
It was only then that I heard the sound of Plants and Kirie running.
After that, I heard a sound that sounded like Lemain running.
Before long, a series of long sighs were heard as Eila looked at the place where her gaze landed. Eila heard that and let out a small laugh.
– Of course it has to be pretty. Who gave it to whom?
Because a very carefree voice was heard.
Ayla clenched her fists with trembling hands and looked at the cliff.
– What were you going to do if I couldn’t do it?
– Is that possible? It’s Eila.
– I was very surprised by Aila.
-Are you afraid the owner will change?
– I’m afraid the owner will change.
Laughter was heard.
– If it didn’t work out, I was planning on letting the wind blow as I had. I haven’t even given you a knighthood yet, so how can I see your master changing?
– You have to kill Rashid too.
– okay. Rashid needs to be killed too.
Kalian’s voice speaks with confidence and without any countermeasures. Eila laughed at the sound and looked at the other side of the cliff. I looked at it again, as if ruminating and checking.
Because he uses his aura to create daggers, long swords, shields, clubs, and even toys for Lucy and Anne. Calian, who had no prejudice against what he held in his hands, used his auror like a whip. He was hanging from a cliff, holding an elongated auror in his hand.
-What are you going to do now?
– I don’t know. It is difficult to increase the number of aurors any further than this.
– So you want to stay there?
– You will save me. Ayla.
-……How can I?
– By-self.
A sturdy mithril hairpin stuck in a crevice in a rock.
With my whole body relying on it.
– Tell your brother that I’m fine so don’t wither away.
– What if it has already withered?
– Well, I guess I can just say sorry for worrying you again.
Letting go of these worries.
