Episode 85
EPISODE.43
Woe!
McRae Hughes’ new model ran down the mountain road without hesitation.
Movement as if it were a gale.
Each time, the wind that followed my footsteps split the light morning fog.
McRae Hughes muttered something non-stop.
“f*cking, damn, damn-.”
In contrast to his unstoppable steps, his irritated face.
It has to be that way
His right arm, which was holding the sword, was currently covered in blood.
‘How dare something like a sword rebel against me?’
Until now, the number of wizards he had killed with his magic sword was as high as his spirit.
There were a few among them, but there were some with top-level skills.
However, I can assure you that this was the first time something like today had happened.
A feeling as if the sword was refusing to be swung.
Recalling the situation at the time, McRae Hughes glared at the magic sword in his hand.
Is it because it was captured and pressed using a powerful aura?
The energy flowing through the sword body was not much different from usual.
The problem was my right arm.
Because of the increased pressure, my muscles were twisted and my bones seemed slightly misaligned.
It will be possible to swing the sword, but your reactions will be half a beat slower.
‘joy.’
McRae Hughes snorted at the worry that came to his mind.
At best, they are bastards.
‘It’s too much of a worry to deal with those guys.’
I clicked my tongue and looked down at my chest.
To be exact, it was a necklace hanging on the chest.
It was a necklace that had the shape of a compass, but had only one needle.
It has to be that way.
The compass attached to this necklace was not an ordinary object, but an artifact with tracking magic.
Ugh-.
When the aura was blown, the compass attached to it started spinning.
Soon the needle dyed black pointed in one direction.
‘That way.’
Part of the subject’s body.
For example, it was a type of artifact that used things like fingernails or hair to track the opponent.
The person who provided it was none other than the Marquis of Kiel.
As long as this artifact is present, the princess will not be able to escape his pursuit.
The needles were stained black. This was a signal that the princess was not far away.
At that signal, McRae Hughes twitched his lips.
“Very things.”
The only way I can escape is at best, so I’m procrastinating like a bug.
Thinking like that, McLeigh Hughes adjusted his sword and held it.
I won’t miss it this time, I thought, and accelerated the new model once again.
bang-!
.
.
“hmm?”
McRae Hughes was closing the distance at a rapid pace, and it was only a short while later that he noticed something unusual.
As he ran from tree to tree, something abnormal was detected in his senses.
A thrilling sensation as if your peripheral nervous system is on fire!
Paget-!
As soon as I twisted my body, six rays of lightning passed by the spot.
Gurgling-!
The lightning that unexpectedly struck the tree spreads to the surrounding area and begins to weave itself tightly like a spider’s web.
Chain of light.
Chain Lighting.
“Tch-!”
After seeing through the true nature of magic, he placed an aura over the blade.
Kweedonanma (快刀亂麻)
Swinging his sword, he cut down the net of lightning that had entangled him.
Like a magic sword that cuts through magic, it strikes without hesitation!
Boom, boom, boom!
The torn pieces of lightning bounced in all directions.
An explosion occurs.
As if waiting, a huge shadow covered his head.
Rocks the size of houses began to fall, staining the sky black.

“You bug-like bastards are carrying out an unreasonable plan!”
Even though they say they lifted it up with magic and used acceleration magic, it’s still just a large chunk of rock.
Cutting down something like that wasn’t a task.
but.
Seogeokeuk-.
With a sharp cutting sound, the stones that covered the sky turned into hundreds or thousands of stone pieces.
That moment.
Paget-.
A small bolt of electricity bounces between rocks, and boom!
A blue thunderbolt connected the sky and the earth.
The target is not McRae Hughes, but a fragment of a shattered rock!
Fire stone.
It was a stone that Russell had moved from a nearby valley while waiting for him to arrive.
A stone that has the property of bursting like popcorn and devastating the entire area when the temperature exceeds a certain level.
‘Mercenaries who didn’t know anything would explode while grilling meat up there.’
The moment the lightning strikes, stone fragments explode as if chain destruction occurs!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Sharply broken and fragmented fragments of rock.
The added explosive force created honeycomb-like holes in nearby trees.
Burbubbubbuk-.
Russell poured magic on top of it.
A thunderstorm that was barely able to recreate its shape with the help of Cloudy Ring.
and-.
“Gae Bulg-!”
The thunderbolt, as expressed, was focused on one point.
It was an absurd amount of power to believe that a 5th Circle wizard had created it alone.
If you were to exaggerate just a little, you could call it top-level magic!
―――――――!!!
A roar so loud that you can’t even make a proper sound.
As deflagration occurred, the trees that had grown along the mountain range evaporated, leaving no trace of ash.
The shattered chunks of rock tumbled down the mountain without stopping.
In the aftermath of the impact, part of the mountainside began to completely collapse.
It is a magic powerful enough to annihilate several companies or more.
If I hit it right, there would be no problem in using this spot as a replacement.
Of course, this is only possible under the assumption that the other person is not a master.
‘He was fine even under the barrage of magic that accompanied the execution.’
In the first place, I didn’t even think that an attack like this would be able to defeat it.
So, if you really think about it, this is just a greeting.
just as expected.
Creepy.
All six senses are simultaneously ringing the alarm as life pours out through the smoke.
“… … !!”
However, what was surprising was that the bombardment just before had produced a significant blow.
Evidence of this was that a small amount of blood was visible from a scratch along one of his cheeks, and the half mask that covered half of his face was shattered.
He growled like an animal, revealing his hideously distorted face with burn marks.
“You did something ridiculous to a trashy subject.”
A feeling of humiliation, as if covered in filth.
It has to be that way.
To him, this wound was no different from being touched by an insect’s wings.
“Even if I kill you, I won’t kill you kindly.”
A thousand pieces, no, 10,000 pieces are needed to relieve this shitty feeling.
I promised myself that I would cut out more than that.
Suddenly, a ray of puzzlement passed through my mind.
Russell was the only wizard who appeared beyond the sunken smoke.
No matter how much I expanded my senses, I couldn’t sense another presence.
Unless you have an artifact that can hide your attention, that would be impossible… … .
‘The attack just now was accomplished by that little guy alone?’
A kid who looks like he’s not even 20 yet?
An unknown chill came over his body.
The intuition I had developed as a prosecutor was speaking out.
If I don’t nip it in the bud right now, something big will definitely happen.
I must kill him right here.
Of course, there was something I needed to check to turn this intuition into certainty.
“Where did the other one go?”
“well-?”
Russell nodded, not letting his guard down.
“Was our relationship close enough to say something like that?”
It was a provocation that wasn’t that great. He didn’t think he would get caught.
Nevertheless, in order to attack it, it was necessary to build up very small pieces.
The corner of his mouth twitched at Russell’s provocation.
“You know that it’s not that difficult to slaughter someone like you and go after them. “You are clumsily hastening death.”
It was right after.
A bright light spread over his eyes as if it had suddenly occurred to him.
“Now that I think about it, those eyes.”
“… … ?”
“I was wondering where I saw you, was you a blood relative of that scum? no wonder.”
He said the name sounded quite familiar.
Nevertheless, there are two reasons why I couldn’t remember it right away.
The first was that it was a very old memory, and the second was… … .
‘That’s probably because he’s already dead.’
Russell’s body stopped for a moment at his completely unexpected words.
It was very easy to guess who he was referring to.
“Do you know your father?”
“Even if we only met a few times on the way to and from the battlefield, if we knew each other, we should say so.”
He mumbled to himself at Russell’s question.
“That bastard was glaring at me without even knowing the subject. I thought he was going to cut out my eyeballs at some point… … .”
He shrugged his shoulders.
“Unfortunately, there are some who have already beaten the player.”
At the voice speaking as if he knew the people who killed his father, lightning flashed in Russell’s eyes.
“Who is it?”
“… … ?”
“I asked who the people you mentioned who hit the player were.”
In response to Russell’s question, he tilted his head to the side.
“Well, I don’t know if our relationship is close enough to say that… … .”
Instead of repeating back exactly what Russell had said, he suddenly burst into laughter.
“But let me tell you something interesting.”
“… … ?”
“Why do you think the Empire is the one who killed your father?”
The evil beast that killed his father may be inside Endymion, not the Empire.
It was a statement that was beyond surprising and even shocking.
But he doesn’t know.
On the other hand, his response that he would return the provocation actually made Russell cool.
“Right.”
It was a voice that calmed down not only the turmoil but also the emotional turmoil.
‘It seems certain that he and his father are connected by some degree of evil.’
Even so, I wasn’t sure that I knew about the evil beast.
The statement that the evil beast was inside may have been something he uttered to shake himself up.
then-.
‘There is no need to go along with hasty provocations without any certainty.’
All you have to do is remember what you heard today and not let go of doubt.
With that thought in mind, Russell opened the door connecting the material world and the spirit world.
Purr, purr!
As soon as I summoned Pepper, I wrapped its power around my body.
Spirit clothing.
Clothes and wings made of spirit flame cover Russell’s entire body.
With this, the sky was completely Russell’s domain.
and-.
“Toleration.”
The moment he recited the starter word, a huge explosion of magical energy followed Russell’s body.
The atmosphere is too pure to be considered as if it was made up of human bodies, but the atmosphere violently fluctuates with ferocious mana.
That wasn’t the only change.
Translucent red and blue horns grew on both sides of the forehead.
Wow!
The blowing wind rotates greatly and creates a whirlpool.
What appears within them are eyes that stimulate the primal fear of living things.
Woe!
As soon as the bright yellow eyes opened, dragon fear encroached on the area.
Wow.
The magical power around me hung down as heavily as wet cotton.
And finally,
When the wind clears, Russell’s appearance is truly that of a half-man, half-dragon from legend.
It was Dragonian, itself.
Right at that moment.
『How dare you try to threaten the Dragon Emperor with an object made from dragon bones?』
Someone’s voice came into Russell’s head as he stared at McRae Hughes.
『It doesn’t make sense.』
wizard who swallowed a dragon
