#205. Who?
* * *
““Ice Ball”! 『Ice Spear』! 『Ice Arrow』… Damn it!”
Alex, a high-level player in the Magus Guild who was constantly shooting skills on top of the castle wall, spat out curses.
It wasn’t because the dizziness was intense due to excessive use of the skill.
It was because of the wave of shadow monsters that never thought to diminish no matter how much skill they used.
Cheer up!
“Huh?”
Maybe it’s because the attack was delayed for a while.
Alex falls down after being caught in the ankle by the tentacles of the shadow monster that climbed up the castle wall before he knew it.
Even in the midst of panic, he reflexively used the “Ice Cutter” to cut the tentacles and attack the monster, befitting a high-level player.
But he soon put on a look of despair.
As if the tentacle monster was just the beginning, it was because he saw shadow monsters coming over from all over the castle walls.
The knights of the Blue Dragon Clan moved over the castle wall and cut down the monsters, but that was just to buy time.
If the shadow monster continued to rise indefinitely as before, it would only be a matter of time before the castle fell.
‘Why did this happen…’
Alex continued to activate his skills to fight the monsters in order to resist the imminent death, but his heart was already filled with despair.
What came to mind at the same time was the regret of wanting to vomit blood.
‘I didn’t mean to touch the London showdown!’
Because it is what all citizens wished for.
because I thought it was the right thing to do.
Most of all, because I believed in the monarch.
As a member of the Magus Guild, I was willing to help eliminate the dark times.
If he had known that the result would have been like this, Alex would have strongly opposed it, even if it meant getting kicked out of the guild.
But it was a too late regret.
Before he even fell into remorse, he was covered by the shadow monster with all his skills on cooldown.
The moment he closed his eyes as he watched the gaping jaws of the shadow monster approach to bite off his head.
Chow!
The decapitated Shadow Monster’s body collapsed as slimy liquid soaked his face.
Because he died so suddenly and came back to life, he couldn’t recognize reality properly and even blinked for a while.
Alex, who realized that he was alive and not dead only belatedly, hurriedly got up and was taken aback.
It was because he saw that not only the monster that attacked him, but also that more than half of the shadow monsters that came up on the wall were split or split before he knew it.
“What happened?”
He wasn’t the only one surprised.
From players of the Magus Guild to knights of the Blue Dragon clan.
Everyone who fought in the castle was bewildered, not knowing who had done this.
Except for Lucas and other masters of the Blue Dragon Clan, who were running across the hill with the elders and dispersing the monsters that were rushing to the castle wall.
‘Is that a thread?’
Before the monsters are cut to pieces.
The first thing that Lucas thought of when he saw the flash of light passing over the castle wall was a telescopic bird among the seventy-two species.
However, Lucas himself denied the possibility he had come up with.
‘No, I didn’t feel psionics. I haven’t even heard of a player with that skill in London.’
‘If it’s not a sky form type or a skill, how…?’
‘Who else?’
The faces of the elders, including Lucas, were stained with suspicion.
But that’s for a while.
In order to prevent the monsters from climbing up the walls building towers with their bodies, they had to focus on swinging their swords and slashing the monsters again.
So they didn’t even realize it.
The presence of a young man quietly waving his hand in the shadow of the tallest spire in the county.
『Yam Dragon Kill Sword
Secret Technique 斬魔龍殺劍 祕術
The shapeless sword is invisible.
無形劍是隱形的』
Chow ah!
The moment when such a thin thread was twisted.
The remaining half of the monsters remaining on the wall were cut to pieces.
The swordsman that stretched out as sharp as a blade avoided the players and knights who were fighting on the castle wall, and cut down only the monsters.
“Tsk, you’re still a long way off.”
However, Limon, the man who actually did it, clicked his tongue lightly.
Originally, I should have wiped it all out at once, but in the end, I managed to achieve the desired result by dividing it into two.
Still, it was a remarkable achievement.
He would have had to use his hands several times more if he had not acquired the sense and parallel thinking ability to handle countless roots as if they were alive after cutting down Ryu Kang-cheol’s constellation.
Of course it’s a subtle difference.
For him who already had a completed body, it was just a level where handling the swordsman became more comfortable.
However, the result of being a little more comfortable with Limon, the sword master, handling the ‘sword’ was frightening.
Papa baba babat!
It pierces the eye, avoiding the swinging forepaw, and secretly wraps itself around the neck and cuts it. The whole body is cut, or the whole body is swung to collide and crush.
It is the pinnacle of skill.
From quick swords and phantom swords to short swords and strong swords.
Originally, it was a magic-like technique that unfolded swordsmanship, which should have been used with various types of swords, such as a straight sword, curved sword, or two-handed sword, with only a thin thread.
Thanks to that, the monsters turned into corpses climbing up the walls, and the defense line regained some stability.
Koo Goo Goo!
right at that moment.
In the middle of the city of London, which was covered with monsters and looked like waves of shadows, suddenly a pillar resembling a building rose up.
“What is that?”
Alex and other members of the Magus Guild saw it and made strange faces.
It is because a building is a building, but it could not be seen as a building at all.
A house made entirely of sweets.
Place a house of mirrors on it.
Build a house of clocks there.
Also adding a house covered by a door, etc.
It felt like a misinterpretation of a noun to call it a building, with five bizarre houses stacked together and tied together by a giant bean tree.
But while the others panicked, Limon was unmoved.
I just muttered a low voice to myself with a short snort.
“I’m afraid someone might say it’s a granny, so I’m slow.”
* * *
[Witch sister quickly! Hurry up!]
“Don’t be so hasty.”
[Do I look like I’m not being urged right now? Look, there’s a lot of chaos right now!]
“No matter how hard it is, you can’t start work when you’re not ready.”
The top of a pillar made by stacking five houses in the middle of London.
Shir, who was in the middle of it, laughed at Yuna-kyung, who was making a fuss on his shoulder.
Then he asked casually as he slowly looked around London covered in waves of shadow monsters.
“ruler. Guys, are you all ready?”
….
“So? Then let’s get started.”
I’ve never heard of an answer anywhere.
She smiled and nodded in satisfaction as if she had heard an answer, and took out the red vial.
Then, when he turned the vial upside down and sprayed a blood-red liquid, the liquid spread out in all directions, drawing a giant magic circle.
From the center of the bloody magic circle, Shire took out a pouch this time and carefully took out the contents as if it were a valuable treasure and said happily.
“A real Walpurgis night.”
The moment Sir dropped one of the contents of his pocket onto the magic circle.
Disruptions began to take place all over London.
Kururrureung!
A boat submerged in the riverbed.
The basement of an old factory.
An old park cabin.
Each is entangled with water columns, iron bars, or tree roots, rising high into the sky.
All of these different structures have one thing in common: one woman is positioned in each magic circle spread out on the roof.
The moment when you feel like 22 towers have risen around London, centering on the five towers where Cyr was located.
The women’s mouths were opened.
[TeSab (shake).]
[baRuma (tilt).]
[Akarosy (harden).]
[YaGaTing (sing).]
[guAmos….]
[….]
As if repeating words .
Words spoken by the women echoed throughout London, never fading or fading away.
As the words continued, the echoes became clearer and clearer, and each echo overlapped and overlapped, eventually creating a strange melody that was both like words and like a song.
And at the end of the bizarre melody of 22 spells, the moment Shir quietly opened his mouth.
“Zuiesz (wake up).”
Koo Goo Goo Goo.
The 23 building towers vibrated and fog slowly began to rise from the bottom.

“Nonsense bullshit!”
Carol trembled.
And shouted in a tearing voice.
“Are you going to revive the London matchmaking world? Do you think that is possible!”
Forgetting his usual composure in everything from his bloodshot eyes to his distorted face, he shouted as he glared at Rose.
“That’s only possible when all 27 lineages of magic come together! How can you resurrect them now that five witches are already dead!”
“…As expected, did you already know about the witch murder case?
“Don’t turn around! I’m asking about your bullshit!”
how excited you are
For a moment, look at Carol, who is spouting murderous intent as if she will kill her if she doesn’t answer right away.
Rose calmly opened her mouth.
“Yes, Prince Carl, it is as you say. That would be impossible by nature.”
The witches of the 27 lineages of magic were able to revive the London battle system, the strongest magic in the Silver Age, not only because of their outstanding abilities.
It is because their genealogy began with the three great witches who created the London battle scene.
However, to put it the other way around, it also meant that it would be almost impossible to revive the confrontation system if all 27 genealogies were not gathered, no matter how descended from the great witch.
“If it weren’t for her.”
“she?”
“Prince Carol, the dark red-haired witch you saw earlier.”
“Ha what? Could it be that the witch who performed the ridiculous magic was the lady of the lake?”
Carol held a cynicism.
The three great witches who are the founders of the 27 lineage of magic.
Vivian Morgana Nimue had already been dead or missing a long time ago.
“She is not the lady of the lake.”
Rose was also quick to admit that fact.
Instead, I just added a word.
“But she knows as much about London battles as the Lady of the Lake.”
“Are you telling me to believe that nonsense?”
Carol is dumbfounded.
“You will have to believe it. Her name is Sir.”
“It’s getting worse. Where in the 27 genealogy of Madou is a witch named Sir!”
Rose answered him quietly.
“I never said she was a witch from the 27 lineage of magic.”
“what?”
“And the name Sir is not her real name. It’s just an abbreviation.”
“What is that…”
Carol frowned at Rose’s words, which the more she heard, the more she couldn’t understand.
It was only then that he noticed a subtle difference in pronunciation that he hadn’t noticed at first because he was so excited.
“Did you just say Cir? Not Sire?”
It was just a small difference in pronunciation according to the spelling that would normally have been overlooked.
But what Rose had said so far brought an existence to his mind, which had been researching witches for a long time.
“If it’s a witch who uses the name Sir… I can’t believe it!”
Sir, a strange nickname.
A witch with great skills.
Above all, Rose boasts that she knows as well as the Lady of the Lake about the London battle scene.
Thinking of the person he came up with by adding those three things, Carol unconsciously exclaimed in astonishment.
“Circe, the witch of the beginning! That old monster was still alive?!”
