Episode 69
EPISODE.35
Gurgling!
Immediately after the deafening noise, a white lightning bolt connected the sky and the ground.
Russell became a member of the 5th Circle and became even more powerful.
As if in response, Cloudy Ring’s power also became stronger than before.
It is a magic created by two things coming together.
Although it was launched in a hurry, its power could not have been weak.
As if to prove that fact, pababababat!
Electricity poured out in all directions, and blue sparks continued to bloom.
If the formula had not been modified to pour the aftermath to one side, the nearby Spiegelmann would have been swept away.
The high temperature reaches a level close to that of plasma!
Vitrified fragments flew out in all directions from the ground, which had been so scorched that it was almost melting.
If it were an ordinary creature, the fever would have been so high that not even a bone fragment would have remained, let alone a corpse.
However, the opponent was three 5th circle wizards.
I didn’t think it would be possible to defeat it in one blow.
Deciding like that, Russell got down on the floor. He blocked Spiegelmann’s path as if to protect him.
Chak-.
The sound of shoes hitting the floor rang out.
His skills are completely different from when I saw him just before entering the ruins.
Spiegelman shouted, feeling that not only the atmosphere but also the amount of magic power was unusual.
“you-!?”
A short shout containing several questions.
“Are you okay?”
Before answering the call, Russell asked.
Both eyes were still staring into the rising smoke.
[mission]
Take out the cultists who took down the base camp.
[compensation]
Intermediate magic stone (edible) x3 per cultist
As you open your senses, you begin to perceive the surroundings more clearly.
Perhaps it was because the dragon’s blood strengthened the body and made the senses sharper.
The base camp was devastated, numerous deaths, and-.
‘A slanderer who is not much different from him.’
It was an injury that would most likely be unreasonable even if one used the hand.
The only thing that can be saved from this situation is Spiegelman.
“I’m fine, more than that…” … .”
To get to this point in just 15 days, did you get any luck from within the ruins?
Before I could ask that question, I heard an eerie sound.
Scrap-.
An eerie sound that clearly resembled teeth grinding was heard from the smoke.
One after another, a woman with impressive purple-colored makeup along the eye area is revealed.
Still, there seems to be no complete damage, as part of the left forearm can be seen being charred black.
Scrap-.
She looked at her arm and Russell’s newly appeared face and gritted her teeth again.
Immediately after, he barely suppressed the anger that was rising and opened his mouth.
“You are Russell Raymond. I heard that it was definitely Circle 4, but in the meantime, another one increased. “Amazing?”
“-?”
Russell, who was staring at his enemies, the three cultists, tilted his head to the side.
‘Do you know my name?’
Since I had been around cult members before, it wasn’t strange that there was a cult member who knew my name.
But isn’t the tone slightly different from that simple knowledge, as if it was aimed at oneself?
“What did you get inside?”
It was the moment when doubt turned into certainty. Then, the man standing behind her moved.
He was a middle-aged man with a playful face.
“If you hand it over to me, I promise you at least a comfortable death.”
“well?”
Russell tilted his head and moved his gaze.
Instead of following the two men and women in front, I followed the movements of the cult member who was still wearing his robe.
‘Is the leader over there?’
They say it’s the same 5th Circle, but somehow the energy felt was different.
A little harder, like a rock, no.
‘It’s not a rock, it’s magical power like an animal.’
A feeling as if not one, but more than one beast was hiding in the robe.
Russell opened his inventory, feeling goosebumps rising along his forearms.
He took out a golden bird’s beak mask and put it on his face.
Click-.
“That’s a funny looking mask. “Is that an artifact obtained from within the ruins?”

A voice and eyes dripping with greed. But they won’t know.
What information did Russell get from those words just now?
“You were looking for something in the ruins of the past.”
A low voice.
The bodies of the two men and women flinched and trembled.
It was only for a moment that the man who calmed the disturbance asked again as if nothing had happened.
“On what basis are you saying that, we don’t know?”
Until I shrugged my shoulders.
However, it was just an unreasonable performance for Russell, who had already seen through their intention.
“I don’t even know what I’m looking for, but I came here to retrieve something from the ruins. “Isn’t it funny?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know who gave you the order, but if the item you were looking for isn’t in these ruins, what are you going to do then?”
The answer was obvious.
Until I find the item I want, I have no choice but to keep watching other ruins.
The man trembled as Russell’s words struck the core of the matter.
He withdrew his playful face and scolded Russell, glaring at him with a cold face.
“There’s one more reason why you have to die.”
With a tone of voice that has no intention of hiding, a majestic magical power envelopes the man’s entire body.
At the same time, the magic power begins to rotate in a circle beneath the woman’s body, and boom!
The robed man, who had remained silent until then, also moved his large body.
The ground trembled heavily as if it had a mass several times that of an ordinary human.
Russell shouted, remembering that vibration.
“Flare Canon!”
A branch of Hubert’s main weapon, the 5-circle flame type magic.
At the same time as the shout, high-temperature jade flames ran across the horizon.
―――――!
It formed a literal ray-like shape and penetrated the center of the base camp.
Kwaaaaang!
A sound closer to an explosion than a firework erupted.
But Russell’s magic had only just begun.
‘Blast Burn, Gale Storm!’
As if they were not going to give even a moment a moment, they fired a series of magical bombardments.
From the moment I felt the scent of blood in the wind, I continued to release the magic I had memorized.
As if that wasn’t enough, another magic was cast at the same time.
‘good-!’
The female cult member was astonished at the sight.
Then he turned his head and asked the middle-aged cult member.
“Double casting! “I heard it was Circle 4 not long ago. Is that even possible?”
“They say he’s a genius, but I’m sure it would be better to nip it in the bud here.”
The man was equally surprised.
He quickly hardened his expression and lowered his head.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The flame begins to expand in size as it eats the wind.
The fever has reached its limit, and the heat alone is enough to threaten the cultists!
Grumble!
However, the opponents are also 5th circle talents who have reached a certain level.
They weren’t soft enough to suffer from magic or something like that.
“Hmph, no matter how genius he is, it probably hasn’t been long since he reached the 5th circle! On the other hand, all three of us here are used to fighting!”
Squirt-!
A woman’s unique high-pitched sound, followed by a sharp sound.
The spear of darkness cut through the flames and rushed straight towards Russell.
The number is not one, but two!
Quad, quack, quack!
The earthen wall rises and blocks the oncoming spear of darkness.
The dark spear stuck in the thick earthen wall is blurring and losing its shape.
Spiegelman shouted.
“I’ll join you!”
It may not be possible in a three-to-one situation, but in the current situation, he would have been able to add a hand as well.
“Please defend yourself.”
Russell nodded, checking the strength of the shield he had deployed.
Although he is not a war mage, he is an elder of the Yellow Tower who is an expert in earth attribute magic.
The sturdiness of the shield he deployed was a level above ordinary defensive magic.
Pabat-
I felt them taking advantage of that gap and scattering in different directions.
‘Are you planning to block from three directions and narrow the siege?’
If Russell had been alone, breaking through the siege would have been no problem.
However, now we have to protect even the injured Spiegelmann.
It was not easy for Russell to move.
I don’t know if it’s just one -.
‘If two or more people cling to Elder Spiegelman… … .’
It was clear that something irreversible would happen.
Russell rolled his eyes. She quickly did the math in her head.
In order to overcome this situation, it was necessary to reveal some of the numbers we had.
‘Partial toleration? Otherwise, elemental magic?’
After making a decision, Russell slowly took a breath.
Just as the magic power is about to move!
“Lord of the bitter cold, I ask for your hand here!”
A huge cold air invaded from outside the siege.
“-Diamond Gust!”
A gust of wind mixed with ice particles blew along the ground and the horizon.
* * *
The scope of the ice gust was truly exquisite.
Although it seemed like they had intruded at random, they did not actually invade the area of Russell’s fire magic.
The magic was sprinkled in a way that cleverly balanced it and accurately disrupted the cultists’ formation.
It was nothing short of amazing horsepower control.
Immediately after, the magic master appeared outside the base camp.
A slim, tall man with narrow eyes and an intellectual aura.
‘Alan Page.’
Shoes wrapped in blue magic touch the floor.
The resulting increase in magical power caused my hair to lightly shake.
He muttered as if he were a hero from the heroic tales on the market.
“Well, I guess I’m too late.”
If we had come a little sooner, we might have been able to save others.
It was a voice filled with such regret. However, that feeling did not last long.
Rather than mourning those who had already died, dealing with the remaining enemies was a priority.
He entered into a battle stance and spoke.
“Are you okay? Lord Russell, Elder Spiegelman.”
“I’m fine.”
Spiegelman nodded.
The wound on my side hurt, but it wasn’t enough to be a problem.
“I’m fine too.”
The remaining amount of mana is more than enough to save, of course, it is still sufficient.
Was it because of that answer, or was it because he felt Russell’s changed mood?
“Sir, no way… … ?”
Alan Page raised his eyes in surprise.
Instead of answering his question, Russell nodded quietly and took off the robe he was wearing.
I undid a few buttons on my dress shirt.
I coldly scolded him in clothes that made it easier to move around.
“Now that we are equal in numbers, what are we going to do?”
From the beginning, I did not think that we would be greatly outnumbered just because we were outnumbered.
However, at least the reason to fight while protecting Spiegelmann has disappeared.
In response to Russell’s question, the two wizards, a man and a woman, exchanged looks.
“I wanted to resolve this situation before it happened if possible, but… … .”
“I can’t help it.”
They split up as if they had assumed this situation from the beginning.
The woman’s side was towards Spiegelmann, and the middle-aged man was towards Allan.
All that was left was a large man who had not spoken the entire time.
A female cult member walking toward Spiegelmann patted his robe-covered body.
“You must take away everything you gained inside. “If you kill it blindly, it will become a hassle later.”
He looked back at Spiegelmann and narrowed one eye.
“Now then, do you want to play with me again?”
