Episode 118 Darkness about to be revealed (5)
The outermost area of the academy.
It’s on the outskirts of the city, but the scenery is starting to look slightly out of place.
When Ray arrived there, he couldn’t even see the painting, let alone the magic circle.
“It’s strange…”
I looked around and looked around, but there was nothing that could be called a magic circle.
He spread mana widely around him.
Then, the magical reaction was clearly flowing from this place.
It couldn’t have been weird.
I couldn’t see the magic circle, but it was clearly activated.
Moreover, someone even played with magic.
It is because the people who tried to escape were hardened and turned to stone.
You can see the parents hugging their son, and the one who fell while running away.
Quite a few have become petrified.
However, judging by the condition, he had already stopped breathing.
Ray left them alone and started walking around.
The scene, covered with dust clouds, was quite horrifying.
People turned to stone and the streets were covered with blood.
Judging by the scorched marks on the floor, it seems that magic has also been manifested.
Strangely, however, only the building appeared unscathed.
It is broken little by little, but not a single collapsed or collapsed building can be seen.
I don’t know what the English language is, but it was definitely a strange look.
In response, Ray mainly looked around the buildings.
A magic circle spread throughout the area, so the exact location is unknown.
I had no choice but to wander around.
Did you just walk around like that for thirty minutes?
Despite such research, no information could be obtained.
However, if there are any eyewitnesses, there seems to be no such thing.
It is not possible to ask a person who has turned to stone.
At this rate, it seemed as if the magic circle would activate.
To be honest, it doesn’t matter when it activates. The preparations were already in place, and all they had to do was activate their magic.
In the end, Ray, feeling impatience, brought out his final thoughts.
“They’re all going to be destroyed anyway, so let’s destroy them now.”
I didn’t think so without any countermeasures.
No matter how much you look around, the only thing that feels different is these buildings.
Besides, with no clue whatsoever, all they could do was destroy.
The God of Destruction possessed Ray.
He drew the atmospheric mana and started the magic.
The target is the wide and scattered buildings around.
“Fire explosion!”
Aaaaaang! Aaaaaang!
Buildings are shattered like clay.
The explosion itself was terrifyingly powerful.
It was enough to blow up two or three buildings with a single spell.
Since it was spreading widely, it was only a matter of time before even such a large city center would become a mess.
At first, I decided to destroy it because I had nothing else to do, but it was fun to do.
It’s also great for relieving stress.
Moreover, the more the building is destroyed, the finer it is, but I can feel the magic circle being disturbed.
I don’t know if it’s a definite breakthrough, but I knew that destroying buildings would affect the magic circle.
So there was no roughness.
Ray, who was destroying buildings, emitted light.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. explode everything! Explosion!”
Wow!
There was no catastrophe.
Buildings that would have been painstakingly built by someone were demolished in an instant.
Clouds of dust rise and fragments of collapsing buildings hit other buildings.
As a result, the surrounding buildings collapsed like dominoes.
At that moment, several people jumped out of the nearby buildings.
“Aagh! It explodes here too!”
“Run away too!”
Those who avoided the body with a quick divine method were very much to die for.
Hiding in a corner and waiting for troops to come to disrupt the magic circle, some madman started blowing up buildings.
At first, he wanted to destroy it indifferently, but now he laughs like crazy and fires magic.
But I let it go, thinking that it might be once or twice.
Wizards had a limit on mana, so if they consumed all the mana they had, they were no different from ordinary people.
He said he would consume mana on his own, but there was nothing better than that.
However, this madman continued to fire magic as if to prove that there was no end to mana.
At first, I didn’t go outside waiting for mana to run out, but now I’m afraid of being caught in an explosion, so I can’t go out.
Can you attack this building, which is quite far away? while saying
But it became a reality.
It’s because the madman started to expand his territory.
So they had no choice but to run outside.
Ray looked at them and tilted his head.
He must have issued an evacuation order.
It is unlikely that there will be people who will not follow.
That’s why the order the saint gave was great.
he went to people
When I looked at them as if they hadn’t run away yet, they gulped down their saliva.
‘If I’m wrong, I’ll catch you. Retreat here is advantageous in many ways!’
“oh my! Meet the saint. Now, this is not to disobey orders…! People were turning to stone and dying… I was afraid of that and couldn’t come out.”
When one of them said that, the others, who were grasping the atmosphere, kissed each other.
“Yes you are! As we evacuated, we were afraid that we would turn to stone, so we couldn’t escape!”
Ray shook his head at their words.
If you go outside, you will turn to stone, so even if you were like yourself, you wouldn’t have gone out.
Fortunately, the fact that there were eyewitnesses, Ray saw it pretty well in his own way.
It wasn’t without a single question.
Ray asked them.
“Who turned people to stone?”
At the saint’s question, they exchanged glances with each other.
Then, one representative responded.
“…It’s a monster.”
“monster?”
“yes. I don’t know if you know it, but monsters called ghosts can use magic. Most of the magic I use is black magic. When I came to my senses, several Ghosts were already rampaging in the village.”
“Hmm… I see. It’s a monster…”
Ray nodded as if it made sense.
Seeing that, they were relieved.
‘Looks like you’ve covered it well…’
Hana Ray’s next words made them stiff.
“Then why didn’t you think of catching it? Aren’t all of you Auro users?”
* * *
Iriel was chasing three young men who had run away.
The expression of the last sword master I killed was somewhat uneasy, but I shook my head to erase my thoughts.
Now that there is no information, hasty thoughts are rather a hindrance.
Iriel started searching at such a speed that the background changed rapidly with each step.
It was very easy for her to find the young people she had previously wounded.
It was no joke from the start, so the time she spent looking for the young men was less than an hour.
Seeing the young men moving forward, Iriel jumped in front of them.
The young men swallowed empty winds as they watched her rushing out in front of them without a sign.
I saw that even if two sword masters attacked, they would not be able to compete.
There was no way he had the heart to attack the young people.
However, it was natural to pull out the sword.
Iriel looked at them and said.
“Why don’t you quietly follow me when I say something nice? Even if you refuse, I will take you with me.”
Saying so, he sprayed aura from his hand.
It feels so intimidating that you can think that the surrounding mana is flowing around Iriel’s hand.
The three young men shook their heads at the same time.
“I can’t do that.”
“It’s going to be difficult if we get caught here…”
The man with long hair grinned and muttered at the words of the two.
“It was not a pleasant life.”
Uduk- I
let go of the dogma I was biting in the back of my molars.
In an instant, the esophagus and organs began to melt.
It seemed like he was thinking of dying.
Iriel sighed and approached them.
What on earth do they think of the saintess?
“Heal.”
With a small whisper, the bodies of the young men who were dying begin to regenerate.
Divine power wrapped around their bodies and ignited the dying life.
The young men who were forced to hold on to the consciousness that was becoming hazy in pain rose up in a rage.
“Cuck!”
“Are you dead!”
Looking at each person’s reaction, Iriel shook his head.
The resolution to commit suicide to maintain confidentiality was quite good, but the idea itself was wrong.
How could he think of committing suicide with a saintess in front of him?
Did you really think that would work?
Ariel told them.
“I am not dead, and even if I want to die, I will not let you die. If you don’t like it, I’m going to cut off your leg and take you away, so if you want to rebel, do as you please.”
Those were not words that would come out of the mouth of a saintess.
They shut up at her harsh words.
No matter how bold they are to the point of reaching the ranks of Aura users and biting down on their dogma, they are still young.
I didn’t want to be dragged around in the pain of having my leg cut off.
“If I accompany you… can you promise to release me?”
The man who seemed to be the most calm of the group spoke.
At that, Iriel shook his head resolutely.
“Do you think your position is anything great? The act of attempting to assassinate the saintess is a crime that would not be strange even if it was summarily punished. After you blow everything you know, you will probably die.”
The young men’s expressions became contemplative at her cold words.
In the first place, it is impossible for young people who know little information and who are not trained to endure torture to endure it.
Moreover, execution after torture.
There is no longer any dogma to commit suicide, and even if you try, it will not work.
The young man who asked the question sighed in the middle of nowhere.
“You don’t have to. Even if we told everything anyway, the Seongguk wouldn’t even solve the problem. Don’t waste your time and kill them.”
Iriel looked straight into those unwavering eyes.
“We make the decision. You just have to say what you know.”
The young man’s mouth clenched at her momentum.
To be honest, just being able to endure it was about to hit the limit.
Maybe if it’s a strong saint like this… wouldn’t it be possible to have a fight with them?
That thought made the young man’s mouth open little by little.
He opened his mouth with difficulty and spoke out.
“If you say… If you say, promise me just one thing. No, please consider it.”
“Let me listen.”
I looked at the young man as if to say something, and the young man said as if he had been waiting.
“We believe in what we have said, and Seongguk will do our best to solve it.”
The two wounded young men frowned at his words.
“You bastard! Are you going to tell me!?”
“Did you know that it’s not just your problem! We’re going to search together!”
However, the young man’s thoughts had not changed, and he was still looking at Iriel.
Since he failed to kill the saintess, even if he returned, he would be disposed of.
No, not only him, but everyone related to him will be disposed of.
If he was going to die anyway, betting on the saintess in front of him seemed more likely.
Besides, he had killed a lot of priests and priests so far. The scene of them taking their breath away is so intense that it comes to a dream.
Having lived such a life, I thought I would be in a position where I would have nothing to say no matter how or when I died.
However, if you die, shouldn’t you achieve something and die?
Everyone caught will die if the information they inform goes into their ears, but it can’t be helped.
If more people live through that sacrifice.
Iriel narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man.
“If you swear to tell the truth… let’s try.”
These are the words the saintess uttered. Perhaps, if she only spoke the truth, she would show her own efforts.
He immediately put his hand on his chest and said.
“…I, Pross, swear by mana, I promise to only answer the truth.”
