Episode 391 Bridge (1)
The guards from the nearby territory have arrived due to the commotion resounding in the forest.
Searching the surroundings, they found several pieces of torn clothing and bloodstains splattered.
A few guards turned their heads at the gruesome scene where not even a corpse was properly left.
“This is… disastrous.”
“Looks like I was attacked by a monster. Judging from the broken wagon, it could be a large monster like an ogre or a troll.”
There is nothing more terrifying than an ogre I met in the forest.
The giant approaching, destroying all obstacles, was a presence worthy of being called the king of the forest.
But their thoughts did not last long.
one of the guards shouted.
“Hey here! There are ogres!”
Hearing the sound, the guards ran quickly.
Then there was the body of an ogre, frozen and dead.
Lord of the Forest.
One of the best predators in Middle-earth.
That authority no longer existed.
Instead of the glory of the past, there was only one miserable ogre corpse that was eaten by someone and met its end.
The guards were startled.
“Oh, it looks like the ogre has been hunted by someone.”
“These are… traces of being eaten. At least it wasn’t a human thing.”
What kind of monster hunted and ate an ogre!
Oak?
troll?
The guards shook their heads as they considered several possibilities.
No matter how united the orcs are, no matter how fast the trolls heal.
In front of the ogre, it is nothing more than a fleeting toy.
When the gigantic fist is swung once, trolls and orcs will die instantly without even being able to extract a bone.
A roar echoed through the forest.
– Ohhhh!
A roar so loud that the forest shuddered and the earth shook.
The direction the sound came from was fairly close to where they were now.
The small bodyguard who felt fear at that said.
“Somehow, I need to go back to the manor and reorganize…”
Before the guard’s words were finished, his torso was torn.
Huge pincers tore the guards whole.
In front of my eyes, blood was thick like a mist.
A scream resounded in the forest, which had been quiet until just now.
“Aaaagh!”
“It’s a certain monster!”
“Wow!”
Right next to him, the guard who watched his colleague being torn to shreds like paper clenched his mouth and vomited.
one for a while.
Like a well-trained guardsman, they quickly set up their display and glared into the bushes.
A blood glow shimmered in the darkness.
There is an unconcealable desire to kill in the eyes.
The furry monster that appeared showed hostility towards the guards.
– Krrrrrr!
A menacing cry made his whole body harden.
The hand holding the sword hilt trembled.
The captain of the guard raised his morale by spewing out a fully matured sword aura.
“Don’t be afraid! What kind of ugliness is this with just one monster!”
The guards who came to their senses gave strength to the hands holding the spears.
It hangs the spear upright and aims at the monster.
“yes!”
“Who is scared to be scared!”
– Aaaaaa!
When the claws of the monsters swung around, the captain of the guards slashed them with a sword aura.
Kaaaang—!
Even though it was a sword aura that cut even rocks, only the sound of friction could be heard, but the monster’s arm was unharmed.
The guards swallowed their saliva at the sight.
“What kind of monster can make a sword aura…”
Even if it was just a sword aura that reached the beginning, it could leave some scratches on the ogre.
But an exoskeleton that can’t hurt even a fully matured Sword Aura!
It was already beyond the level of a monster.
Even the captain of the guards was nervous at the frightening hardness.
“I will block the front! You guys, point to the rear and attack!”
“All right!”
At his words, the guards formed a group and circled behind the monster.
He swung his pincers at the humans who were trying to surround him, but whenever he did, he was often blocked by the sword of the guards commander.
The guards, who attacked the monster from the back several times, finally found the monster’s weakness.
He pushed aside the mithril-like hard shell and stabbed the fur-covered joint.
Woowoowook-!
– Aaaaaa!
The monster struggled in agony.
It is a monster that is over three meters tall.
In one struggle, the surrounding trees were shattered.
Its tremendous power was such that even the captain of the guards whimpered to stop it.
Pooh-!
Woowoowook-!
The guards pierced the monster’s body with sword spears.
– Kieeeek!
A sharp scream rang out.
The movement of the monster, which had been frantic for a while, gradually stopped.
“It’s over…”
“Killed…”
The guards who were exchanging battles collapsed on their seats.
I wasted all my strength.
I didn’t even have the strength to stand up anymore.
Only then did the captain of the guard let out the breath he had been holding in.
“Heo Eok… Heo Eok… What kind of monster is this…”
It was a monster with a look he had never seen in his life.
As strange as it looked, even its power was so powerful that it was almost unknown.
To the extent that a single swing of a claw would throw a line of guardsmen into disarray.
The guardsman leaned against a tree.
“I’ll take a little… rest for a bit and then come back. You’re tired…”
At the words of the guards commander, the guards lay down completely.
The guards who guarded the territory had virtually no experience fighting monsters.
It’s a shame because they were well trained, but if they were delayed, they would never have survived.
The guards, who barely survived, looked at the corpse of the monster and said.
“I didn’t even know that monsters like that existed in my life.”
“That goes for me too. The ogre that had traces of being eaten must have been killed by that guy.”
“I don’t want to see you again… but I should take the body to the manor, right?”
“We can’t move it by ourselves, so it’s better to bring a wagon from the territory.”
As I was using the protector as a fan to cool off, I heard rustling in the bushes.
The guards, who almost lost their lives in the monster attack, were paying attention to their surroundings.
Although it was a small sound, no one could not hear it.
The guards stood up from their seats and prepared for battle, even though there was no instruction from the commander of the guards.
The guards commander, who was resting against a tree, also stood up holding his sword.
– Krrrrrr!
A similar cry was heard.
The signs are close.
If the monster from earlier rushed forward with determination, it was unstoppable.
The moment the captain of the guards, who looked nervous, tried to defeat the guards.
– Krrrrrr!
The same cry came from behind.
‘Not one.’
then on the other side.
– Aaaaaa!
three horses.
There were three things that were too much to kill even one.
A shadow fell over the guard’s face.
The guards commander gritted his teeth and said.
“Everyone… retreat… even one person should run away and ask for help from the territory…”
Outer territory of the Baybon Kingdom.
The monsters that came out of the Gate attacked the Baybone Mountains.

The wizard association that came out of the shadows reacted to the rumor that the Holy Kingdom was recruiting troops.
They were the ones who fell in love with the saint’s overwhelming magic skills.
From circle 1 to circle 5.
People from various circles gathered in Daejeon and discussed.
“The voice of gathering strength in the Holy Land is no different from Ray-sama’s call.”
“I think it might be a good opportunity. It is the glory of posterity to help him when he needs it.”
“Does everyone disagree?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“No. It is possible to rebuild the mage tower, so how can you present a different opinion at a time like this?”
“We are only for the dark. But if you need Yangji’s help, you’ll have no choice but to show up.”
They were all wearing white robes.
Those who fell in love with Ray’s power and were led by him, gathered from the shadows, formed an alliance.
That was the current school.
Without taking advantage of anything, they teach each other to become better wizards.
He dreams of the day when he will one day establish a mage tower and be taught by him.
However, this was also a story of the past.
Although he initially created an alliance to improve their circle, he found out in the process of investigating him.
When there were flood victims after a flood, he secretly created a guild called ‘Salvation Sanghoe’ and saved countless people.
Is that all?
He founded a medical academy and trained therapists, indirectly saving many lives.
Whenever there were various difficulties in the castle or neighboring countries, he did not hesitate to step forward.
The first time I fell in love with his magical skills, the next time I fell in love with his willingness to help others even in the face of force.
Now, unlike the early days, their meeting was not only the purpose of establishing the Mage Tower, but also an alliance of people who liked the person named Ray itself.
“Good. Then, since everyone seems to agree, let’s move to the Holy Land.”
“Only those who are ready to give up their positions and commit themselves will move. It will draw attention, but now there is no need to be afraid of the world.”
A coalition of wizards gathered in the sun for years.
common name school.
They decided to emigrate.

Five days have passed.
Ray, who was filling the parchment at a slow pace, was able to temporarily find the seventh spot.
The high elves, who were well versed in manajin in their own way, had doubts about his work.
“can not understand. Why can you assert that the seventh point is there?”
“I wonder how he calculated the flow of mana. How can you be sure your calculations aren’t wrong?”
Even after explaining it for several hours, Ray explained again as if he was frustrated with the high elves who didn’t understand.
“I said that from the sixth point, the flow of mana flows to the right, right? If you follow the path one by one, the mana will eventually flow to the right and the branch will be near it. But above there is a third point. If mana had flowed in the same place, it would have flowed backwards, so at least it’s not the top. Then there’s only one direction left…”
He said, putting his finger on the parchment.
“That is below. It comes to the conclusion that there is a branch below. I’m not sure, but in theory this is correct. Mana is constantly flowing diagonally downward according to a certain formula. The basics of manajin are that mana flows. In other words, these mana are moving in the direction they should flow unless they run out of control. Since we found more than six points, we can predict the approximate movement level by calculating the mana emitted by each point.”
“You mean you calculated it in your head? You want us to believe that?”
“Even if I don’t want to believe it, I can’t help it. If you write down each one and calculate it, you won’t be able to follow the flow.”
“I don’t understand.”
finally back to square one.
Even if I explain and calculate every single thing, they don’t understand.
It is also true that the formulas used to calculate manajin are all mathematical formulas used in modern times.
As they did not understand, the drawing on the parchment did not go any further.
I found a place that might be the seventh point, but the altar is a magic tool that can cause great danger with a single mistake.
As a result, the high elves did not want to risk testing what they did not understand.
“Um… explain again.”
“Neither do I. I still don’t understand why the current flows like this.”
I have explained the same thing over twenty times.
It seemed that today, too, would end after explaining all day.
Ray let out a helpless sigh.
“…yes.”
It was the first time that I had cancer that I had only tried to treat.
Anticancer drugs were needed.
