Chapter 266: The First Continental War (4)
The moment Sven’s sword cut through the body.
Kevin sank into an abyss of memory.
It was a lonely space.
I spent time passing meaninglessly as if floating in the space where nothing existed.
The bloody battle with Sven for Dmitri, and many of the events that preceded it, felt remote, as if they had nothing to do with him.
How much time did you spend that way?
The moment I questioned why I was in this space, my mind was caught up in a storm of memories, like a black hole.
I blinked.
In Kevin’s line of sight, he saw some men barging into the house.
Wow Jangchang!
The furniture in the house was broken.
The men smashed the foot and leg with a stern face and grabbed the father’s hair as he tried to dry it.
To Kevin, his father is like the sky.
If it was Kevin’s words, it was shocking to see a great person being dragged around without power and slapped on the cheek as if he would pick a star in the sky.
I was angry.
I wanted to scream and run at it right away, but I couldn’t move a single step, as if my feet were stuck in place.
Only then did I know That this is a fragment of memory.
Just recalling memories of the past in his head, Kevin wasn’t really living and breathing in that space.
My father was terribly trampled on.
My mother was slapped on the cheek while drying it, and I could only hear my little sister’s cry from behind.
crackle.

Space is warped.
I had a conversation with my father.
When I asked why he was being treated like this, my father silently said that it was okay.

This time it was on the street.
In response to her father’s instructions to lock her in the house every day, her sister Marie went outside as if to rebel and was found by men who attacked the house.
And the scene unfolded before my eyes.
Marie screamed and shook off the men’s violent hands, but the men’s strength was too strong.
And those who glanced at the alley turned their gaze elsewhere, even though they knew that a crime was being committed.
Because I saw the pattern engraved on my forearm.
What that means is that people couldn’t bear to help.
Kevin ran.
They got beaten up in a mess, but thanks to the people’s attention, Marie was able to escape safely.

my mother said
From now on, don’t do that.
The reason why the family is strong is because of them, and if you step out recklessly, you could lose your life.
The opponent was Blood Fang, a heinous criminal group.
Mother said with a frightened face that they were not people to be regarded as young.
It was from then.
Life started to fall apart.

plunged into the abyss
The memory was fading.
Ghost magic was a dangerous power, and from the moment it entered the stage of encroachment, the danger of simma (心魔) was accompanied.
At the cost of using excessive force for the first time. mind was breaking.
Regeneration of memories was not a time to reflect on them, but a process in which memories asked if it was okay to forget them.
crackle.

It was a very tiring day.
Kevin, who did all kinds of chores to help the family, met Blood Fang on the street one day.
Those who remember themselves initially pushed for money, but it turned out to be a serious beating.
It hurt. In the middle of the beating, I heard a strange voice that I had never heard before.
“Stop.”
no one
I didn’t give in to what happened to me.
But for the first time, the man who didn’t turn a blind eye to his difficulties looked at Blood Fang and said:
“You guys have broken Dmitri’s laws. Therefore, from now on, as the eldest son of Dmitri’s family, I will execute sentences on you who have broken the law.”
That moment.
I woke up.
what do you live for
When I reached my purpose in life, I remembered hearing a familiar voice in the dark.
“Until I leave. Be sure to overcome Shimma.”
just like back then
Roman Dmitry recognized his difficulties this time as well.
I will live for him.
If he was still alive, he would not have had time to be lost in his mind like this.
Clearly,
the darkness was pushed back.
Kevin struggled to get up and asked, looking at Hans’ dwarf back figure.
“… How much time has passed?”
that is.
It was Kevin’s first memory of overcoming Simma.
* * *
Hans made a fuss.
As he looked around and asked if he was okay, Kevin said with a calm face.
“Tell me what happened.”
I knew it instinctively.
that a lot of time has passed.
Being alive like this meant Sven’s death, and he could guess that Roman Dmitri was safe just by looking at Hans’ bright expression.
Still, I wanted to know what had happened.
Looking at Kevin’s still pale face, Hans cautiously opened his mouth.
“Meantime… .”
The talk was long.
From Sven’s work until now.
When referring to Roman Dmitri’s story, he added what he had heard from his therapist.
“I heard from the healer that Master Roman really risked his life to heal you and Henderson. It was described as being so devoted that it seemed to share life force. Kevin. That’s how much Master Roman wanted you to be safe. Seeing what happened like this, Master Roman would be really happy.”
That was nice to hear.
I could feel that someone had not lived in vain as a human being that he had tried to save himself.
but.
Kevin felt complicated.
There was something that came to mind at the word life force.
‘Could it be that he shared the energy of the ancestors?’
someday.
It was emphasized that the power in the teachings of Roman Dmitri is very valuable because it is limited in amount from birth.
The exhaustion of the Suncheon’s energy meant death.
Looking at Roman Dmitri, who seemed to be gradually getting dry while undergoing treatment, Kevin thought that perhaps he might have used his innate energy for himself.
gritted it
It was absolutely unacceptable that Roman Dmitri’s vitality was being drained for something he was so grateful for or for a guy like himself.
Moreover, I heard that he declared war with the Kronos Empire to avenge Dmitri.
The fact that I was taking care of such a person couldn’t help but sit on a sick bed like this.
“I will go to the Western Front.”
“Kevin!”
I jumped up from my seat.
Despite Hans’ earnest dissuade, Kevin took his sword and went outside.
timely.
I ran into Fernando.
Looking at his whereabouts, he saw through the situation at once.
“Kevin. Go back to your bed and rest. I know what you mean, but even if you follow me now, there’s nothing I can do for my lord. Rather, how about taking enough rest here and devoting yourself to restoring your body so that the lord who will return victorious from the war can rejoice.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Kevin said firmly.
The words Fernando said meant nothing to him.
“The reason for my life lies with the lord. If he is on the battlefield, I must be with him. when i leave him Except when carrying out his orders.”
took a step
Seeing them pass by quickly, Fernando looked at them and scratched his head.
“How the hell do you dry that?”
Kevin.
Even in Dmitry, he was famous for his venom.
Fernando looked away.
His purpose is to protect Dmitri.
I didn’t want to stop him by following Kevin, who was leaving to do his part.
* * *
Peace was short-lived.
A few days after the conversation ended.
The soldiers who were looking out for the appearance of the imperial army rushing in from afar sent an urgent signal.
Deng-deng-deng-
“It’s an enemy!”
“The enemy is advancing!”
The castle turned upside down.
The soldiers found their positions in perfect order as they had been trained, and the Marquis of Vandenberg, the commander of the Western Front, also moved forward armed.
From the moment Dmitri declared war, he hadn’t let go of his armament for a moment.
Sensation was set up to respond to the enemy’s attack at any time.
above the castle wall.
I saw the appearance of enemies.
Baron Noel, who followed along as the number of people rushed in uncountable, said with a firm expression.
“… It’s much sooner than we expected. I expected it to take enough time to detoxify the poison used by Roman Dmitri, but Duke Bamford seems to have made a quick decision. At this rate, we fall far short of the time we are trying to secure.”
“The opponent is the Duke of Bamford. If you were a veteran of the battlefield, you would have instinctively judged that you shouldn’t give it time.”
Vandenberg and Bamford.
We met a few times on the battlefield.
The Duke of Bamford was a tough man, but he instinctively knew how to fight a war, and in several wars, the Marquis of Vandenberg never won.
It wasn’t simply because of the difference in power between the Empire and the Kingdom.
Even in the battle of strategy, he could not gain an advantage against the Duke of Bamford.
Is that why?
I felt cold.
Despite all the preparations, the ominous aura could not be shaken off.
said Flora Lawrence.
“Commander. Don’t worry too much. We anticipated an all-out war with the Kronos Empire and prepared thoroughly during that time. There is no way to break down this castle wall, which is surrounded by layers of magic defense, even if mages of the Cronus Empire level up. As always, we just have to believe in Roman Dmitri and do what we can.”
“… That’s right. Even if the enemy is in a hurry to attack, the prepared situation will not change.”
closely.
I grabbed my sword.
Roman Dmitry.
believed
In the previous war, he showed miraculous results, and in the war against Kronos, he might win a victory that everyone thought was impossible.
But the process will not be easy.
Roman Dmitri also said to risk his life, so the Marquis Vandenberg intended to risk his life for his role.
It was then.
Between the troops of the Empire, who had stopped at a certain distance, a mysterious figure trudged forward.
* * *
There was only one.
Baron Noel said at the appearance of the robe pressed down.
“Is it a messenger?”
“no. If it were a messenger, he would have raised a white flag and informed them that he had something to deliver. I don’t know what the Kronos Empire is thinking, but it’s clear that that being is trying to do what the Kronos Empire intends.”
The Marquis of Vandenberg shook his head.
then.
I could think of one possibility.
The method of using magic at a distance where arrows cannot reach is a pattern that was used a lot on the battlefield.
In fact, in the last battle with Cronus, Flora Lawrence used the ‘Battle of the Great Warrior’ to place magic traps where the wizards were using magic.
The result was a great success.
Thanks to this, I was able to block the attacks of the enemies, and this time I did not install magic traps because I was afraid that the enemies would prepare.
Robin had no hesitation.
Without any action to check the magic trap, I stopped walking at a distance sufficient to use magic.
OK.
The Marquis of Vandenberg gave the signal.
“Prepare the ballista.”
“All right.”
ballista.
A weapon used for ranged attacks.
Contrary to its powerful destructive power, it is a somewhat less accurate weapon, but a modified ballista was created on purpose to hinder the wizards from casting.
Increase accuracy at the cost of lowering destructive power.
If you attack the location where the wizard is standing, the wizard will not be able to achieve his intention and will have no choice but to cancel the magic.
“I am ready.”
“I will signal soon.”
Shuk.
I raised my hand.
I watched Robin’s figure closely, and when he saw that he was preparing something, he lowered his hand like lightning.
“Fire!”
“launch!”
Tung.
Tutu tu tu tu tu tu!
A huge arrow flew through the air.
The magic enchanted arrows found the location of the creature and they fell on the head of the lobe in an instant.
It was an immediate situation.
Seeing that he didn’t back down even a single step, people were convinced that the ballista’s arrow would turn the Robin’s fragile body into porridge at once.
That moment.
anger.
Pupper puffer puck.
The white membrane blocked all arrows.
Even though it didn’t seem like they were preparing anything in particular, magic was manifested at once with just one touch.
And then.
“Laughing guys.”
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
manifested magic.
Robin pulled up his robe, revealing his gray hair.
It was the first face I had ever seen.
However, from the dark clouds that swept across the sky, the Marquis of Vandenberg knew that the ominous entity was that very existence.
people said
The 5-star level is the same as the 6th circle.
The 6-star level is the same as the 7th circle.
The Continental Twelve Swords people talked about were at the 6-star level, and mage-level wizards were usually in the 7th circle.
More than that.
It was an extraordinary realm.
Known to exist, but not witnessed to exist.
in the eyes of such people.
“Fury Of The Heaven.”
Quarleung.

A white-haired wizard.
The magic of the 8th circle was manifested.
