chapter 138
138 – Please stop!!!
Lower the density of magical power as much as possible. It’s so pale and sparse that it’s hard to hold it in your hand. The dark blood-colored magic is diluted in the air and dispersed. Its clear presence disappears, and soon it becomes intertwined with naturally occurring magic and assimilates, starting to spread out like a net.
The senses connected with magical power expand to an incredible extent. Information occurring within a radius of several thousand steps is filtered out and accepted. To me, reading signs was more natural than breathing. At that time, I had long since lost my sense of ‘normality’.
And it was the same when I first woke up in the magic tower.
Everything was vague. I felt like I was walking through a hazy fog. But my mind was calm, like a machine with commands entered.
At that time, I had the right answer. There was a road.
I trace the tangled memories one by one, as if untangling a skein of thread.
I try to dig through my memories, but even I feel like these memories are unfamiliar. Familiar voices pop up sporadically. Her face is not visible. It felt like someone was artificially blocking my eyes. Aren’t I the one who moves my body? No, it was definitely me.
“Fuck! Manwol, you b*tch! You don’t fucking listen to people? “I said I knew this would happen a long time ago!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll give you a proper reward later, so for now, let’s start with Eugene…” ah! Ha Hyeon-dal! But don’t hit me! Eugene is still a child. “If you get injured wrongly and your growth plate is damaged, you may feel resentment later.”
“under… Are you seriously talking about this situation? What should I do, you crazy b*tch! What, do you mean to seal it? Can’t you see that b*stard holding a holy sword? I don’t have any magic power because I poured everything into yesterday’s drinking ceremony. “You fucking take care of it.”
“Hmm… Same goes for me… Let’s see… Where have the Sanghyeondal twins gone? … … … Huh? Eugene woke up? oh! Eugene! Where! “You can’t cut there!”
Kugu Palace… … .
“Wow! “I got caught!”
“Wow! “I got caught again!”
“You’re so good at finding things!”
“Eugene is good at hide and seek!”
“Hi-Hi! Let’s hide again!”
“Hi-Hi! “I have to run away again!”
It’s this dream again.
All the voices I heard were urgent, but in my dream, I was swinging my sword and hacking through the magic tower as if it were a game.
Empty expression and eyes. The sight of him swinging the holy sword with a limp body and a movement that lacks the slightest sense of motivation is like a puppet tied with strings.
The Sanghyeondeul twins burst through the magic tangled in the air. I swung the holy sword at them, fluttering like an insect blindly flapping its wings in pursuit of the light.
Hahaha! Hahaha! There was no meaning to be found in this extremely simple game of tag.
Those twins could have tried to attack in reverse by spilling a pile or applying an artificial load to their magic power.
Those who did not even attempt such a thing truly regarded the situation as ‘play’.
“This way!”. “No, this way!”
A sign is caught. This time it’s behind the slate.
A sign is caught. In response to the sudden attack, I swung the holy sword and saw Ha Hyeon-dal there. He snaps his fingers while casting without chanting. The nature of the sharply expanding magical power suddenly changes. Repulsive force. If he held on head on, his whole body would be crushed.
There is a sign. Manwol belatedly chants. The central formation drawn is a sealing technique. Along the assistants, curses and weakening are piled up in layers. The arrangement of magical power is straight forward. The end of the overwhelming amount of magical power is towards me.
The purpose must be to stop me. She smiled and spoke softly to Sanghyeondal. “Sanghyeon, you guys go and bring Undine.”
But their words and actions felt infinitely distant, like a hazy movie being transmitted through a broken projector.
I feel like my mind is being engulfed by white noise.
It seems as if the brain has stopped working all at once.
Nevertheless, the ‘thing’ in my hand was clearly saying this to me.
Eugene, Eugene.
Can you hear me?
ruler. It’s now. Let’s run away. We shouldn’t be here.
Look over there.
It was a waste. Just a little bit north. I just need to go a little further. If I had done that, I would have been able to achieve my dream. I’m so sorry. This kind of waste of time is not what we want. Hehe, sorry. Actually, it was a lie. Actually, that’s what I meant. Even the fact that you woke up here.
right? That’s right. Eugene. Are you looking well? Think about it.
The humans your father devoted his entire life to protecting drove you out into the snowy plains.
The blood family that your mother led is also just using you.
The land of the empire established by humans,
The shabby tower where the blood relatives are located,
It’s not your place.
long time. Maybe it feels like such a long time that your bones are crunching.
It may be fleeting here, but our time is different. It has to be different. To achieve your dream, you have to persevere.
But I will be by your side.
don’t worry.
You will soon find out where your home is.
ruler. Let’s go, Eugene. To the north. Let’s go north. Go… …
Everything… I’m putting it back to the way it was.
To nothing.
***
I woke up from a hazy dream.
It took a while to figure out whether this was a dream or reality.
“… … ?”
Finally, there was a sign. With that, you realize that it is reality.
When I was at the academy, I didn’t really release my magic like this. It would be correct to say that there was no need for that. The reason I released my magic sporadically, as was my old habit, may have been because I was unconsciously nervous.
But whatever the origin, what we need to focus on now is the fact that someone with a life in mind jumped into the vicinity of this villa.
“Everyone avoid it! “Run away now!”
It’s Undine’s voice. What on earth was he doing hanging from the railing on the second floor?
Was he thirsty at all?
… Undine, you can make as many drinks as you want with bed magic.
Let’s ask later.
For now, it would be better to avoid and look at ‘those things out there’.
I infused magical energy into my legs and immediately stood up. thud! thud! The loud sound of hitting one wall did not last long. I immediately stamped my foot.
“oh my… My waist… ”
The sudden movement from a relaxed state sent a tingling signal as if the muscles were startled. But more than that, she was worried about Rin, who must have been surprised in her arms.
“Lina. “Are you hurt?”
“… … yes? Ah, yes! brother!”
“Sorry. “You woke up while you were sleeping, right?”
“I wasn’t sleeping yet. are you okay.”
“… … . hmm? Have you been sleeping yet? “If the sofa was uncomfortable, why didn’t you tell me?”
“yes? yes? Oh no! That’s not it… … ”
“Sorry. “Let’s talk later, Rin.”
I put Rin down from my arms.
I stretch out my sore body.
The uninvited guest who boldly broke through my magic power was so confident that he walked arrogantly, trampling on the broken window.
I spoke to her in a somewhat disgruntled tone.
“okay. The other thing is good, this is it. Still, you don’t know that destroying someone else’s villa like this is putting you in a difficult position in many ways, or are you just pretending not to know?”
“This villa? Doesn’t it belong to that old man anyway? “You don’t care anyway.”
“Oh my, ma’am… “Let’s kill my personality a little bit.”
“Hahaha! kid. You’ve grown a lot while we haven’t seen each other. “As soon as I saw you, I thought you were an ajumma.”
A deep voice conveys the depth of one’s years of experience. Ajumma is also a very considerate title.
She, the hero of the Third Holy Sword, had a crumpled expression.
“Say! Take your pick! Do it! From the past! “I should have told you!”
As she sheathed the Third Holy Sword, her sword energy began to scatter in all directions.
“Ajumma, are you really crazy?! Are you going to destroy everything?! “Does she know how much this all costs?”
The moment the memories of breaking the magic power meter and seeing blood while gambling with debt on the day of Eunwol Festival flashed through my mind, my mouth was already filled with magical chants… I wanted to go, but I didn’t have enough magic power to fight that woman, so I immediately turned around and found Undine on the railing.
“Undine!”
“『The frozen razor sharpens, to zero point.』”
Undine’s ice spears rise out of the broken window and converge into one point.
She immediately teleported and joined me. Undine spoke in a calm tone with a cool smile.
“master. “I will unlock the power of my blood relatives.”
“no.”
“Hehe, I understand what you said, master. I’ll handle it soon… … . Eh? yes? yes?! it can not!”
“of course. Are you planning to destroy the villa?”
“That woman is the hero of the Third Holy Sword! “Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult if we didn’t use the magical powers of our blood relatives?”
“Focus, Undine. Here comes again. “I have to get out of here first.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I created a teleportation margin at the same time as Undine.
In order to take the initiative in casting timing, I plan the central margin, and Undine prepares the complex auxiliary team and rescue techniques.
I remember experiencing the Third Holy Sword’s swordsmanship a few years ago to the point where it was horrendous. It is a free sword that scatters into hundreds of branches, but the first strike always falls as a bell.
The gap of the sword.
He reaches out between them, grabs her neck, and detonates the built-up technique.
Space-time magic. Teleport.
As the vast landscape of the nearby sea is revealed, it begins to free fall towards the surface of the water. Undine’s quiet chant comes to mind as if I’ve been waiting for it.
“『Water Jet』”
Undine snaps her fingers. Her signature water jet raced past the speed of sound on the surface of the sea.
The hero of the Third Holy Sword does not know magic. Even if you don’t know magic, cutting down monsters isn’t that much of a problem, but in times like this, it becomes an obstacle. Even though she handles her sword like a guru, her movements on the sea are somewhat limited.
Sure enough, she seemed to be very dissatisfied with the way she was unilaterally put at a disadvantage.
“Your cowardly nature remains intact even after several years! “Even if the holy sword was intact, someone like you would be cut in half!”
“If you’re a coward, aren’t you just a normal person anyway? “You are giving up the power of your holy sword to seal my magical power.”
“Hahahaha! The young guy’s mouth is so crooked! “I’m going the right way this time!”
“Tsk… 『Forget it. A ray of wrath engraved and embossed on a painting that dares to imitate the sky.』”
A purple thunderbolt ripples, takes shape, and surges towards a single point.
The lack of magical power was made up for by the water energy generated by Undine.
The pure sword energy and electricity of the Fourth Holy Sword hero collide.
An instantaneous wave hit the surface of the water and a large wave arose. The water droplets, which had not yet been able to dissipate the power of electricity and magic, flew like bullets and bounced around.
Instantaneous light and sound.
The sword energy and magic were completely offset and dispersed.
‘… … Who is it?’
It’s not me. The same goes for the warrior of the Third Holy Sword.
I could not help but suspect the existence of someone else who had disrupted the balance of power.
“Whoa… … ”
Thick cigarette smoke is the first thing that hits my nose.
Even though it was quite far away, it was clearly felt. Undine frowned blatantly.
Anyway, after lightly trampling on the sea and leisurely enjoying a smoke, he extended his sword and said:
“… You’re doing useless things. Even if the situation gets to this point, are they going to point their swords at each other? Third Holy Sword. and… … Eugene Sir Neferna.”
I clicked my tongue and answered.
“under… What is going on here with our noble prince? Did they put some kind of honey in this villa? “Why are you all crawling here?”
