Episode 120 Iriel’s Reminiscence (1)
“…if I got caught, there’s nothing I can do.”
The five men seemed to think there was no way to defeat the saint in front of them, so they broke the dogma inside their molars.
Hwaaak –
The poison quickly spread throughout the mouth and began to spread through the esophagus and into the organs.
Then the men, whose faces had gradually lost their blood, collapsed on their seats.
Ray frowned and approached them.
“Do you commit suicide because you are afraid that information will be leaked?”
I don’t know who is behind them yet, but I think they are highly trained.
To die without hesitation. It is not easy to create a soldier of this level even after several years of training.
Ray looked around at them once and got his pulse.
There is a pulse, but it is very faint.
Their bodies began to wither like mummies.
This is a poison that has never been seen even in modern times.
‘Blood evaporated. I can’t buy this.’
If possible, he intended to save them and spread the information, but in the absence of blood transfusion packs, it was impossible to save those whose blood had evaporated.
Aside from the faint pulse, the thinning of the stomach seemed to have melted all the organs.
Ray made a small sword and opened their stomachs.
Then the condition was terrible.
“My God… what is all this?”
Apart from melted organs, the melted organs were stuck together.
The rust immediately began merging with other organs.
The heart and lungs are connected, and the descending colon and kidneys are fused.
Ray waved his hand at the terrible sight.
If this happens, you really have no choice but to die.
Even if Daera Sinseon hurriedly came to the surgery.
Looking at the hideous appearance, Ray shook his head and began searching their bodies.
Although the probability is slim, it is because something related to the forces behind it may come out.
All that came out was a piece of beef jerky.
Looking at him, Ray shook his head.
There is no longer time to linger like this.
This is because the magic circle was not yet known when it would activate.
“If Iriel is doing well, he would have requested supplies by now.”
Of course you will. That is if I hadn’t met two sword masters along the way.
Ray began to gather mana again.
“Fire explosion.”
Kwaaang! Wow!
The surrounding buildings began to explode with a tremendous explosion.
The man who manifests magic like that had many thoughts.
Taking a moment to commit suicide was an Assassin’s main training.
Who on earth is capable of using an Aura user, not anyone else, as such a discard?
Furthermore, what about the magic circle?
I don’t know how it was laid, and I can’t even see the magic circle.
However, it seemed that there was something that could clearly sense the energy of magic.
Every time a building is destroyed, mana shakes, but it wasn’t enough to cancel the magic circle.
But all he could do was destroy the building.
Ray drew more and more mana.
A huge flow of mana, enough to make people mistakenly think that the sky was shaking for a moment.
Mana, ignorant enough to instill a slightly different sense of fear from Peer, swarmed around Ray.
The aftermath alone caused buildings to collapse.
‘By now, Iriel or Aira should have evacuated all the remaining people.’
Ray, who had measured the time, was able to use magic without hesitation.
Even if there were people who did not evacuate, they would have run away after hearing the roar caused by the explosion that had been firing continuously.
In other words, there were no more people around here.
As if the mana he had accumulated to the full would explode at any moment, it swarmed around Ray, making a terrifying sound.
Tie them back together and transform them all.
Because it was an excessive amount of mana, even he had a hard time converting it.
Ray memorized the starting language.
“Earthquake.”
Koo-Goo-Goo-Gung-
The earth’s axis began to shake and a roar was heard.
Then gradually the ground cracked and the land came into a riot.
Kwagwagwang-!
Buildings crumble like toys.
It wasn’t just the buildings that were being demolished.
In the first place, it seemed that the ground itself was overturned.
Everything within the effective range of magic was destroyed.
An earthquake of tremendous destructive power struck the area where Ray was.
Buildings in another world that were not designed to withstand earthquakes could not survive.
No, the power of the earthquake was strong enough to destroy even if it was designed to be earthquake-resistant in the first place.
It’s almost to the point where I wonder if this means not leaving a single blade of grass behind.
“…How much damage will this cost?”
I felt even a small sense of guilt after destroying several villages on such a grand scale.
It’s something that can’t be helped.
Wouldn’t it be better to destroy it like a magic circle than to leave the village unpredictable by the magic circle?
Ray continued to supply mana and induced earthquakes to occur continuously.
Even magic ends when the given mana runs out.
Unlike the peaceful appearance of Ray, the surrounding scenery was very hellish itself.
The earth’s axis shakes and the earth’s surface cracks.
Buildings exploded like firecrackers, and the falling rocks were destroying other buildings, and even the groundwater inside them was bursting, drawing out streams of water incessantly.
In an extreme situation, only Ray who cast magic would be able to maintain his usual appearance.
* * *
Iriel went to Gehel with two young men, including Fros.
It wasn’t a particularly good picture.
It was like being accompanied by three young men who had come to assassinate the saintess.
One must know how to use the things to be used and dispose of the things to be discarded.
Now was the time to use the youth.
This is because they know about an organization called Proxia that no one knew about until now.
As Iriel listened to the stories of the young people, her own childhood times suddenly overlapped.
A young man with long hair asked if he had read her expression.
“How was the saintess in her childhood?”
She probably grew up in a wealthy family and became a saint.
Underneath them was such an idea.
At that, Iriel shed a self-deprecating laugh.
when you were young
I’ve never tried to remember it, but I can’t forget it either.
It was a shame that I would never have experienced again in my life.
* * *
The loud ringing of bells from the village announces the arrival of morning.
Duong- Duong-
Unknown birds sing and clouds flow, bringing a refreshing breeze.
A girl was watching them from a small church on the hill.
Someone approached the girl with her radiant blond hair.
“Here you are, Iriel.”
“Oh, Father.”
She looks at the bride with a charming eye smile that draws a half moon.
The priest, holding a small book in his hand and looking at Iriel, put a faint smile on his lips.
The wavy hair and the lofty eyes.
The image of Iriel among the children was literally a crane in a chicken coop.
It is a beautiful off-white color any time you look at it.
It’s a shame to be in such a small church.
“Come visit me after dinner tonight. I have a story to tell you.”
“yes.”
Iriel, who answered so brightly that the listener felt better, went straight back to the group of children.
The bride’s eyes, looking at the girl’s back, began to take on a mysterious light.
* * *
Knock-knock-
knock came from inside with the priest’s voice.
“Come on in.”
Kiik-
Iriel opened the door and cautiously entered the room.
“Excuse me.”
“Iriel is very polite. Come in without hesitation.”
Iriel approached the bride and pulled a chair and sat down.
she said, tilting her head.
“What are you going to tell me?”
His eyes were shining bright, perhaps because he was very curious.
The priest turned the chair and faced Iriel directly.
The bride who smiled happily said to the girl.
“Iriel, do you have any plans to go outside?”
“Outside…?”
The priest nodded at her asking back with her eyes wide open.
“You are out. Iriel has been spending a lot of time looking at the town and the sky all day over the last few months. The cathedral is nice, but I think living outside is more suitable for Iriel now.”
“…Uhm. But even if you suddenly go outside, there’s nothing you can do? I hate breaking up with my friends…”
“I will help you. Even if you go out, I will stay by your side. I’ll let you meet my friends when they miss you.”
Feeling reassured by the priest who said that with a serious face, Iriel thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Good then! I want to go outside!”
The priest was delighted more than anything at the light reply, which did not show any resolution or determination.
“Then let’s start right away. Just in time, when the time has come.”
“yes? I haven’t even said hello to my friends yet…”
“I think you can send a letter.”
Iriel thought at the priest’s words.
‘Because I said I’d let my friends meet when they wanted to see me anyway.’
Iriel, who did not think much of it at a young age, set out on the road with his bride without packing anything.
Iriel, passing by the entrance of the cathedral for the first time and going down the hill, felt better with excitement.
Because of that, he never thought to suspect the priest passing through the village to the port.
Iriel asked the bride who hurriedly paid for the boat and boarded the boat.
“Then why are you on a boat?”
The village is just around the corner, so why take a boat?
It’s a situation that I don’t understand enough to be curious even at a young age.
The priest answered, hugging Iriel’s shoulder affectionately.
“Iriel has never been on a boat, right? I’m going to play while riding the boat for a while.”
“Are you playing?”
The priest gently stroked the head of Iriel, who opened her eyes wide and asked.
“It’s called boating. You will be back soon.”
“Um… if the priest says so…” After
thinking for a moment, she looked out at the sea and brushed off her thoughts.
The first time I saw the sea up close was really beautiful.
Fish were clearly visible in the transparent water, and small islands that could be seen far away were directing a spectacular view.
The bride also smiled at the excited girl with a bright smile.
The two hands that held Iriel’s hand tightened.
