192. What happened three days ago (2)
‘Look where the Lord is…!? What’s going on?’
I don’t know what she’s talking about at the moment, but an ominous intuition pierces Octavia’s brain like a knife.
Octavia took a step back from Hroti’s tremendous firearm. The battle between Beradin and Kadun began without Octavia having time to stop.
Fire-!
The firework on the staff instantly turned into a huge fireball. The great magic used by Kelliac in the past when he attacked the Imperial Palace.
However, unlike before, Veradin did not change to look similar to Kelliac. He was still using Keliac’s magic as he was young.
[Your Beradin are finally revealing their true colors…!]
Kadun screamed in disbelief with his eyes wide open. It was hard to believe that Veradin had released this amount of mana without any warning, even though he had personally experienced everything he was trying to attack himself.
Even Belladin wasn’t even receiving help from the demon stone. She was using only her own mana to cast great magic.
“That’s what I have to say, Kadun. I should have known sooner that you are no longer needed by the family. No, beyond that, the fact that they are harmful.”
Aaaah-!
Kadun drew in all his strength and let out a breath. Unlike the breath extending like a ray of light, a fireball of enormous size came out of Kadun’s snout like a type 2.
As soon as the two fireballs collided, the rest of the wizards quickly formed a protective shield in the shockwave that spread.
The simple firepower of the type 2 that Beradin developed surpasses that of the final type.
Because of this, the best way to destroy it was to find and cut off the flow of magic, just as Jin did during the Geomhwang Temple. Like Jin, Kadun knew the second brother’s secret, so he hurriedly descended and lowered his altitude. He was momentarily invisible, obscured by the explosion of the fireballs.
However, as soon as he tried to release his magic and check the flow of type 2.
Suddenly, two beams of light from left and right pierced Kadun like spears. Kadun had no choice but to retreat, wrapping himself in his wings at the unexpected attack.
‘I forgot about these guys because I was so damn excited…!’
Tuyan, the water dragon of Ithelmion, the god of water, and Finia, the land dragon of Rikta, the god of the earth. It was the Guardian Dragons of Beradin who attacked Kadun.
[Tuyan Pinia. You’ve grown a lot. Since Sogaju is crazy, are you crazy too? As a guardian dragon, helping Sogaju to make the right choice would be the right thing for you guys to do.]
Tuyan and Pinia didn’t answer, but closed the distance and pressed Kadun.
It was strange.
The fighting power of the two dragons also far exceeded Kadun’s memory. In the first place, Tuyan and Pinia, whom Kadun knew, could not move properly in this amount of flame.
However, the two dragons rushed to bite Kadun without rest while receiving the flames with their whole bodies.
[Kaaak!]
Soon, Tuyan’s sharp teeth tore Kadun’s shoulder. Cheeky! Scales and flesh the size of a human body fell to the floor, making a heavy sound.
It was no different than the sound of a drop in Kadun’s honor and prestige. Because the symbolism of the Zipple that Cardun had so far was ‘the strongest force’.
It was said that he had forgotten the existence of the guardian dragons and was careless, but such beings were being pushed so futilely. At the point where less than a minute had passed since the battle started.
Octavia was also taken aback. It was unexpected that Kadun would be pushed this far so easily.
Of course, the fight isn’t over yet.
However, Veradin amplified the type 2 flames and gave a chilly voice.
“Do you want to continue? By the way, I don’t hesitate to kill Kadun. If you surrender even now, let’s think about how we can use that arrogant body and inner self for the sake of the family.”
[Shut up!]
“Ah, well… there will be a corner where you believe, so you won’t have any intention of stopping. But you will soon realize that even that is all wrong.”
[What are you talking about…!]
“Then why is the Wraith Captain just watching? Do you need more time to think about which side to stick to?”
Octavia flinched and met Veradin’s eyes.
It felt as if my inner self was being squeezed by an unknown fear.
“that.”
“Other mages have already finished preparing to attack.”
Looking around, I could see the wizards of the Mage Tower repairing the protective shield and performing linkage magic.
All of the wizards assigned to the tower of the story of the 1st Mage Tower of Ziffle are composed of people with skills of the Midnight Sun or higher. There were also many retired Observers and family head-level personnel from collateral families.
In Octavia’s opinion, their allegiance should have shifted more to Kadun rather than to the minor family wielding too much power these days. In particular, the retired spectators were people who prioritized their own orders rather than Sogaju.
Even so, they all followed Beradin to attack Kadun without hesitation. All with their eyes shining white.
For a moment, Octavia guessed why they became ‘white eyes’.
‘Large-scale mind manipulation…!?’
I had never personally seen this level of dark magic, but I recognized it intuitively. Veradin manipulated the wizards like puppets through mind manipulation.
Veradin said with his eyes. It was my last consideration that I did not use this magic on you.
“Mind manipulation is Zipple’s prerogative, not yours alone, Wraith Captain. So don’t be too surprised. Now move quickly. We need to finish off Kadun as quickly as possible.”
Veradin stretched out his arm as if to ask him to step forward first.
In the end, Octavia had no choice but to aim at Cardun by infusing magic into her staff. Kadun was already crushed by the two dragons, pinned to the ground, struggling.
‘…Forgive me, Mr. Cardoon. For now, I have no choice but to follow Sogaju’s words.’
First of all, you have to follow Beradin’s words and hit Kadun.
Then they had to somehow leave Kadun alive and wait for Kelliac to return. If the family head came back, this whole crazy situation would definitely be sorted out.
There was still no reaction from the top floor of the tower.
As Octavia’s light magic began to be chanted, Cardun screamed in rage.
[Octavia Zipple! After all, even you are following that madman’s orders. Giple’s glory that has been going on for thousands of years has brought hope today!]
As Octavia and the wizards joined in, Cardun became desperate to defend itself. Only a furious roar echoed through the empty battlefield.
Ten minutes passed like that.
Kadun, who had a reputation as the strongest fire dragon, eventually fell headlong to the ground with his entire body torn like rags.
His gasping breath made a metallic sound, his wings were half-torn and drooped, and the blood he spilled formed puddles everywhere on the floor.
On the other hand, there was no damage on the side of Veradin. Although Tuyan and Pinia were injured, they would recover in a few days.
In the first place, even excluding Beradin’s abilities, it was impossible for Kadun to win by single-handedly hitting the Tower of Stories.
“If the mages had followed Kadun and committed treason, the outcome might have been a little different, but it’s bland. Did you scorn me all this time with only this power?”
Veradin tapped Kadun on the forehead with his staff and said. It was a landscape that couldn’t be more humiliating.
[Beradin….]
“I have given you many opportunities to correct your mistakes, Mr. Cardoon.”
[Why are you doing this to me? Are you saying it was because of just showing you displeasure?
You should know that your face is thick. His body was too damaged to survive. It’s time to say goodbye. Would you like to leave a will?”
[If I die, Kelliac and Shinu will… turn you off… Aaaah!]
Beradin’s staff dug into Kadoon’s forehead little by little.
The white-eyed wizards didn’t move even after seeing it, but Octavia’s heart was stuffy, to the point of going crazy.
“Sogaju! Kadun’s wounds are deep, but if you treat them, you’ll have no problem fighting for the family again. Kadun-nim must have learned a lot from today’s events, so can’t we just stop? Even if it’s just for the sake of the head of the household and Shinu, the head of the family…!”
hooked!
Beradin’s staff pierced Kadun’s forehead. Sticky blood flowed down the staff.
“no!”
The moment Octavia shouted.
Suddenly, a gloomy vibration that started somewhere began to resonate throughout the sky and the earth.
It was a magic tower. The vibrations were spreading from the top floor where the Keliac’s retainers were.
Wow…!
Soon the top floor of the magic tower was exploding. Octavia turned around in despair and looked up at the mage tower.
‘This energy…!’
It is the energy of the family head Kelliac Ziple.
However, that energy gave off a slightly different atmosphere from Octavia’s memories. A black energy filled with malice that could never be attributed to humans was flowing from the Mage Tower.
It was marriage. Along with the flames that symbolize Keliac, a terrible spirit like that of the bust god was already coloring the sky of the 1st Mage Tower black.
“Sogaju, what the hell is going on here… what the hell is going on with the lord?”
At the same time, the soul energy began to flow from Kadun, who seemed to have just passed away. Beradin took Octavia and retreated, spreading a protective shield.
“Until now, the fire dragon, Kadun, had been amplifying his father’s spirit of marriage. I don’t know what the intention was, but I decided that it would never have a good effect on the family.”
“Ha that can’t be! Kadun-nim can’t do that.”
“Look, when Kadun’s breath is about to end, the father immediately starts running wild. Although difficult to accept, this is the reality the family faced. It means that the roots and pillars were all rotten.”
oh oh oh!
Kelliac roared with obvious hostility. Kelliac, revealed through the wreckage of the top floor of the broken mage tower, looked like a bust.
Behind him, Kadun spread his wings again. The wizards lined up and Tuyan and Phinea sat down on either side of Berardin to prepare for battle.
“Probably, if Kadun’s machinations had been completed as planned, we would not have been able to handle our father who became a monster.”
“I can’t believe Sogaju… Let’s go now. What do you plan to do with the family head!?”
To Octavia’s words, Beradin answered without hesitation.
“I will have to kill you. Fortunately, I am able to bring my own rest today before my father becomes another evil spirit.”
