How did those wizards find them?
It was obvious. Either he obtained a clue by manipulating Beradin’s memory, or there was magic in the wiretapping or sensing system spread here in the first place.
Either way, it wasn’t a very unexpected development.
‘I thought that if a pursuer came here, the midnight sun or other elite wizards or tower lords would come… but what are those gray robes?’
It was an outfit that I couldn’t even remember from my previous life.
But I was sure. That they are superior to any wizards he has ever experienced.
“jin!”
As Dante reflexively drew his sword, Jin grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t pull it out. The moment you pick it up, you will also consider it an enemy. The atmosphere is okay.”
“I don’t feel well, Jean. The authors don’t seem to be ordinary wizards.”
“That’s why you should use Veradin as your shield. What are you doing, Belladin? Hurry up and get Dante.”
“The authors of the book are magicians directly subordinate to Auntie. My aunt must have come with me, so I will tell you.”
“You don’t have to faint again to hear me, right? What will happen if you wrap me up here?”
“under. I’m damn sorry.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about.”
Sister of Aunt Kelliac Ziple.
Octavia Zipple.
Jin knew her name. However, since he was a member of Zipple, he was only aware of it and did not consider him an important person.
She was a person who retired as a 7 star before Jin was even born.
Of course, for Zipple, he was evaluated as a genius, and even though he was the sister of Kellyak Ziple, he had never received public attention thanks to his relatively low skills and early retirement.
In other words, Ziffle’s existence is like air.
Such Octavia came here with the most elite magicians who are now unknown.
– You got it right. As you said, he can’t be said to be a second-in-command, but a vice-master. There is no real power next to Kelliac. It’s not information I can give you yet, though.
Suddenly, Jin remembered what his father had said about Andrei.
‘Was that woman the real No. 2?’
In the middle of the wizards who had put a barrier outside the window, there was a person holding a staff that glowed. She was Octavia.
And Octavia’s wand was pointing exactly in the drawing room where they were.
Hwaaak-!
At least, Jin almost missed the moment when the cane spewed a beam of light.
The ‘light magic’ in the form of a beam of light that Octavia shot was not magic, but like an unmanned flash of light.
Sreung!
Jin pushed Dante towards Beradin and pulled out Sigmund.
It wasn’t pulled out to cut out the rays. Even a 9-star unmanned person could not hit this super-speed attack right away unless they were aware of it in advance.
It was a foot sword to avoid fatal wounds and deal with the next situation.
A flash of light as sharp as a thread brushed Jin’s left cheek. A few strands of hair were cut off and blood splattered, but luckily Dante managed to land safely near Tuyan and Pinia.
“damage? Not a very fearless guy.”
Jjaeok-!
As soon as her low self-talk was over, a crack opened where Jin had avoided the beam.
The thin cracks that stretched out as if drawn with a ruler were traces of light rays penetrating the entire villa.
Five such cracks followed in an instant.
As soon as Jin dodges the attack, Octavia fires a follow-up shot, the purpose of which was not to kill him.
An attack to destroy a place where Jin could hide, so to speak, a villa.
The huge villa was being sliced through casually. The cracks created by the rays opened, and the stones and various materials that made up the villa exploded.
Debris splattered like corn being fried in the cottage that was beginning to collapse. Jin and the dragons hurriedly hit the shield against the debris flying from all sides.
No, the dragons had been protecting Veradin and Dante from a while ago. The cute appearance of chatting and cleaning was always with emotionless eyes.
The dragons even prevented Beradin from reaching Jin.
Dante also can’t get out of the dragon’s protective shield.
As soon as Octavia appeared, the dragons calculated that if Veradin and Dante escaped their shield, they would surely die.
Octavia was also thinking about using her magic to capture Jin, since there are dragons.
As Jin had predicted, Octavia and her subordinates, the Observatory, concluded that it did not matter if the island was completely destroyed.
‘It’s definitely not a joke.’
Watching countless fragments hit the protective shield and break it, Jin felt the nape of his neck grow cold.
A sense of crisis that has been around for a long time.
Jin conveyed these words in a mouthful to Dante and Beradin, who were using evil within the dragon’s protective shield.
Do you think I’ll get caught?
see you later
Kkeudeukdeuk…!
The villa has completely collapsed. In the middle of a black dust wind, the visibility is dark.
“Just hold your breath and bring it to me.”
Octavia’s order was given, and at the same time, the wraiths raised their staffs in unison.
Then, the red-tinged sky swirled and dropped countless magical particles.
It seemed like a bloody rain. Particles of red magic turned into swords and chains and rained down on Jin.
It was a magic that Jin could not help. It was the linkage magic of 9 and 10 wizards.
Mogol became apologetic at the red magic powers that rushed at him as if stabbing his eyes. It was a magical power so great that one could not even dream of countering it in reverse as it did against the wizards of Ziffle in the Holy Kingdom.
It was the same even if I unfolded both brain and spirit. Even if the difference in power is large, it is too large.
If you didn’t foresee this happening in advance and didn’t prepare for anything. There would have been no way to progress this time.
‘Somehow it seems a bit late.’
Spaw! Kang!
Jin threw himself to the side and slashed the red chains and blades one by one. It hadn’t been a long time since I felt like my hands were being torn.
ten times at most.
It would have been a miracle to cut that much. I had to come in there.
Just as Tuyan and Finia are protecting Beradin and Dante, the guardian dragons will protect them.
two three four
Every time he blocked the red magic, his stamina and aura were drained as if he had been cut off. It tasted like death, but the wizards of the observatory were also in shock.
It was only natural that the reserve riders of Runcandel, who had just turned 18, were knocking off their linking magic several times.
The island was already being destroyed. Every time Jin’s red magic bounced off somewhere, the ground shook and parts of the island were falling apart.
Of course, if there was no condition called ‘captured alive’, it should have ended. Jin looked dangerous every moment as if he was walking on thin ice.
But even that alone hurt the pride of the observatory.
seven eight.
nine.
In the end, Jin knelt down on one knee, coughing up a handful of blood. The reflux spread through my body and I felt like I couldn’t swing my sword anymore.
However, Jin raised the corner of his mouth.
It was because the moment he cast the ninth red magic, he saw a huge, dark hole in the sky.
Guardian dragon is not singular.
It was the plural form of ‘Guardian Dragons’.
Being protected by two dragons wasn’t just Beradin’s privilege.
The last black dragons left in Inse were appearing in the black cavity of the sky that had broken through the barrier of the observatory.
[It’s like the losers of the public are spreading all the way to the red abyss to catch a child. Even if the old wraiths come out of the grave, they won’t have anything to say.]
Misha.
When her voice suddenly spread, the swords and chains of the linking magic ‘Red Abyss’ directed towards Jin stopped moving at once.
The specter didn’t stop.
The spiritual shadows clinging to the red magic power were breaking the movement of the red abyss. It was Misha’s strength.
[How is the kid? Was it a little dizzy this time? If not at a time like this, when will I know that you are scary in the world?]
Then, Murakan’s voice was heard.
He was dyeing the sky that had been dyed red into darkness anew. Like the time when he destroyed the Dark Magic Society, vortices of auras big and small were swaying with his wings.
It seemed that the fierce and dark sea was spreading where the sky should be.
In the meantime, Jin was chewing on Murakan’s greeting.
‘Do I need to know that the world is scary? Could it be that the mad dragon didn’t come late on purpose?’
In fact, Murakan and Misha were late because the barrier of the observatory was thicker than expected. However, the truth will never be conveyed to Jin.
Aaaah-!
Before the Wraiths could regroup, Murakan’s breath shot to the ground.
Following the super-giant linking magic, Red Abyss, they are also creating a new protective shield. The wizards of the Wraith were calm, not even breathing, let alone regurgitating.
Just as her breath was about to strike the shield, Octavia’s beam shot out.
Surprisingly, the ray cut the breath in half and rushed to the nape of Murakan’s neck, but Murakan did not avoid it and countered it with his wings.
Misha was slowly descending towards Jin while holding on to the red abyss.
“Murakan and Mishara meet the legendary black dragons in such an unexpected place. As expected, Jin Runkandel was your contractor. It seems that the wounds from Kadun are all healed?”
Octavia, who didn’t flinch even when the black dragons looked down on her, was also a monster.
[Wizard, if you can return alive, tell Kadun. The King of Heaven has returned.]
“It’s not difficult.”
[And the king of the earth will change.]
“Do you think Runkandel can defeat us and ascend to the throne of the world? You must have forgotten the lesson your old contractor left a thousand years ago.”
Then Murakan’s mouth twitched.
It wasn’t a twitch of anger or humiliation.
[Puhehe… hahaha!]
Sneering.
It comes from the funny mind that great beings feel when they see foolish humans who don’t know anything.
[Who said that it is the Runcandel family that becomes the king of the earth? I am referring to my contractor now. You guys don’t even know that today was your last chance to change the future, and you’re making a noise.]
It’s not the Runkandel family who pushes out Ziffle and becomes the king of the earth, but Jin Runkandel.
Somehow Octavia couldn’t laugh at the absurd joke.
Until just now, she had been calm in front of the two black dragons, but she suddenly felt like a huge thorn had been stuck in her throat.
Why?
It was a gut feeling. Not the insight of a 10-star wizard, but the common, ominous, and intense intuition that every human being often experiences, which made Octavia displeased.
“…Good, if the great black dragon warns you this far. No need to worry. There is no need to capture the Wraith alive. Kill Jin Runkandel.”
