Episode 47
EPISODE.24
“Huh. Huh. “Huh.”
Russell, breathing heavily and shaking his shoulders, opened the inventory.
Pong-.
He opened one of the canteens, poured half of it into his mouth, and poured the other half over his head.
Wow!
Russell looked ahead as he felt cold water flowing through his body and his breathing slowing down.
Sand clouds were rising from the spot where the lightning struck.
Hanging around those sand clouds are fragments of something that sparkle in the light.
It was glass.
『Mjöllnir of Thunder Giant.』
Due to the ultra-high heat emitted by the thunder giant’s hammer, the quartz mixed in the sand melted and became vitrified.
A direct hit of that magnitude was struck precisely in the chest of the main body.
If you’re alive, you’re no longer human.
Slowly the dust cleared and a huge pile of bones appeared in the center of the desert, which had become more and more vitrified.
Most of the bones were turned into black carbon pieces by the overwhelming firepower.
The one that lies at the very top.
There was a human body so charred that it was unrecognizable.
“hmm.”
Russell frowned at the sight, which was even more horrifying than he had imagined.
[You have completed the mission. Compensation will be paid.]
[As compensation… … .]
It was immediately after that a notification was heard and the edible magic stone was stored inside the subspace.
‘Is it over for now?’
I expected to face three enemies, but I never thought I would sacrifice all three of my lives to summon the Abomination.
Although his combat ability was slightly inferior, his necromancy itself was probably better than expected.
Maybe it’s not this ragtag group…
‘If I had owned undead made using the right material, it might have been a little more annoying.’
That’s it.
Despite assuming the worst, Russell didn’t think he would lose.
This was because he also had some more cards that he had not used yet.
“Shall we go back?”
But before that-.
‘First of all, I need to image this situation.’
Only then will you be able to submit it as evidence that you have completed the task.
It would have been nice if it were possible to return alive, but there was nothing we could do.
A 3-circle magic that takes pictures of the sight reflected in your eyes and saves it.
‘Image frame.’
The moment Russell is about to use magic, Dalssak.
A lump of black, burnt charcoal, a small corpse writhed.
“… … ?!”
No matter how necromantic it is, there is no way it can even revive the corpse of a dead practitioner!
Russell, who was shocked, went into a fighting stance again and then flinched.
The lump of charcoal begins to wriggle, and soon its head falls and rolls towards Russell.
Rolling around.
It felt like a black ball was rolling, but Russell couldn’t relax his nerves even for a moment.
Every time the head approached, the gigantic presence also got closer.
And finally, the head rolled to Russell’s feet and slowly touched his chin.
He moved ‘what used to be his chin’ and a sinister glow came out from ‘where his eyes were.’
【Daria. That scorched-earth bitch turned out to be a really good guy in her later years.】
“… … !!”
Centipedes, ants, or poisonous spiders, etc.
It’s a voice that gives goosebumps, as if the whole body is covered in bugs.
【Russell Raymond. Raymond. Raymond.】
As if he was remembering something, the owner of the voice repeated the last name ‘Raymond’ several times using the corpse’s mouth.
That too for a while.
Soon the corner of the mouth of the burnt head began to tremble.
It was an unrecognizable expression because the muscles had completely disappeared, but Russell thought.
【Right. Maybe I… … .】
The owner of the voice is laughing right now.
【I might be the person who killed father and son, Raymond twice.】
The voice was a slightly higher range, as if he was feeling joy.
!!!
.
.
What does this mean now?
The man who killed Raymond twice?

Didn’t your father die in the war against the Empire?
But why is my father’s death mentioned from the mouth of this unknown cultist?
My mind was complicated, as if there were several knots that could not be resolved.
“What did you just mean… … .”
I clenched my fists tightly and asked a question, hiding my sweat-soaked hands.
One beat faster than that
【Okay, that’s it for now.】
The guy hit the player.
【Because it is a long-distance communication, there are a lot of delays. then… … .】
Let’s postpone the rest of the story for the joy of our reunion. Raymond’s son.
The creepy voice fades away with a snort.
Out of all the knots that have formed in my head, I haven’t been able to untie any of them.
Wow.
Russell chewed his lip.
The fishy taste of blood soaked the inside of my tongue.
I felt like I wanted to smash this head to pieces right away.
But there was work to be done, so with superhuman patience, Russell suppressed the urge.
“Huh.”
I made a sound that I couldn’t tell whether it was a moan or a sigh, and recorded the situation first.
‘Image frame.’
He threw a fireball as if he had been waiting.
Grumble!
The corpse of the warlock, which had already been reduced to charcoal, and the hill made of bones were burned and kicked.
Sigh!
I kicked the head that had rolled towards the center of the flames.
and… … .
From a little distance away, a group of people were watching the scene.
The earth splits apart,
The sand bounces,
Those who flocked to the noise of the lightning strike.
The imperial dogs smelled it.
* * *
Imperial Army 12th Desert 2nd Battalion.
One of the officers groaned.
“Grunt.”
I twisted my back and lightly rubbed my puffy eyes.
He looked at the pile of documents in front of him.
‘eww… … .’
Despite working so hard, there are still about ten documents left.
These were all reports that were posted within about an hour.
It has to be that way.
The place where his troops were stationed was at the border of the Takel Desert and the Imperial Territory.
The main mission is to use scouts and skirmishers to collect information about various phenomena occurring in the desert and the movements of other countries.
Is it because of that?
The 2nd Battalion’s garrison was in and out of the 2nd Battalion’s garrison several times a day, repeatedly landing and taking off.
Even on days when the number was small, it was close to a hundred, and on many days, it was close to a thousand.
Thanks to this, I can now shiver just by hearing the sound of a pigeon taking off.
Nonetheless, the officer’s situation could be said to be better than most.
‘I’m glad that only level 2 or higher intelligence was relayed to me. If you think about the general soldiers who classify the information below… … .’
The officer trembled at the thought that the pile of documents in front of him had increased several times.
‘If you tease them, they tell you to get promoted.’
I picked up another report with a bored expression and turned the first page with a listless look.
‘Hmmmm. Let’s see-.’
Although it was a level 2 or higher report, nothing felt particularly important yet.
Even the Endymion Kingdom bastards who talk about things without even knowing the topic have been quiet for the past few days.
So, I guess there will be no problem with this report.
With that thought in mind, it’s only been a few minutes since I opened the report.
“Great, battalion commander!”
Before I could even finish reading the report, the officer rushed out of his barracks.
Clutching the report tightly with one hand, I sprinted towards the battalion commander’s barracks.
.
.
“Is this really true?”
The battalion commander gently bit his molars as he read the intelligence information handed to him by the intelligence officer.
“According to what the scouts said, the chances are about 60 to 70 percent.”
Six percent, seven percent.
Either way, it was more than half. Then you can’t ignore it.
The battalion commander decided to do so and waved his hand wearily.
“I understand. “Let’s go back now.”
An order to congratulate the intelligence officer was issued. After the barracks tent flapped and the intelligence officer walked out.
The adjutant, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, asks him a question.
“Is there a problem. Battalion commander.”
In response to his question, Viscount Montmert, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Division, handed him the intelligence in his hand.
“I heard there was a battle not far away. “The people who fought were people who appeared to be cultists and wizards.”
“If you are a cultist… … .”
Has a warlock caused any trouble within the Imperial Territory recently?
I quickly thought about it, but no specific rumors came to mind.
There was also no communication from the country’s magic tower that a wizard would be dispatched to exterminate the cultists.
“I guess so. “It seems like it was the other side that sent the extermination team.”
“If it’s the other side… … .”
“Endymion’s magic tower. “To be more precise, it should be called a flame tower.”
“Yeom Tower!”
The adjutant screamed as if he was having a seizure at the word Flame Tower.
In a war a few years ago, it was the magicians of the Flame Tower who burned down his entire unit.
Regardless, the battalion commander continued his explanation in a calm voice.
“According to the report, it is presumed that Yeomtapju is the new disciple he has acquired this time.”
The adjutant hastily buried his gaze in the report. We have confirmed the personal information regarding Yeomtapju’s new disciple.
‘The level is… … Circle 4 at most.’
It is not a circle so low that it can be ignored.
However. It was difficult to say that he was a disciple of Yeomtapju.
Isn’t that a level where we haven’t even overcome the wall yet?
However, what I was concerned about was the age at which the circle was achieved.
‘nineteen.’
It may not be a big problem right away, but it’s a joke. It was a talent that the monstrous bitch recognized and was fascinated by.
In terms of talent, he’s probably even higher than the youngest disciple of the Lord of the Spear Tower.
If we keep looking at it like this, it will grow into Endymion’s giant tree that will block the future path of the empire.
If you can nip it in the bud now, that would be best.
“What would you like to do?”
The problem was that this unit was not specialized for combat.
As they specialized in reconnaissance and intelligence, the number of people with outstanding skills was small.
However, isn’t it possible to move an entire unit just to capture one Circle 4 wizard?
At that question, Viscount Montmert spat out an expression of displeasure.
“Call that lunatic.”
“If you are a crazy person… … .”
A homicidal maniac.
A criminal who boldly murdered several subjects in the middle of the imperial capital.
Despite this, he was a monster who was not put to death but was only exiled to the frontier due to his talent and backing.
“Still, don’t you have to pay for the food? “I’m not some piece of rag that wipes his backside.”
It’s been a few days since I was exiled.
Even during those few days, he could not let go of killing and was cutting off the heads of our own soldiers.
There was no need to explain that it was the battalion commander, Viscount Montmert, who had cleaned up the situation several times.
“If you say he is a disciple of the Master of Flames, his eyes will roll.”
If you can catch it, you will be able to end your boring exile and return to the imperial capital.
‘surely.’
Although he was an insane writer, his skills were outstanding. He was a guy who could be said to have stepped over a small wall.
“All right.”
Nodding his head, the deputy recalled the appearance of a homicidal maniac.
To be precise, it was the appearance of a big man who was behind that murderous maniac.
It has a bleak, uneasy look, and it feels like it will cut you if you touch it.
What was even more disturbing was the sinister rumors and ominous smell of blood that always followed him.
Crazy spandom.
He is a superman representing the empire.
He was a disciple of one of the Master-level great swordsmen.
wizard who swallowed a dragon
