Episode 87
EPISODE.44
Russell himself was also aware to some extent of the special nature of his magical power.
‘Ordinary wizards couldn’t even sense my magic properly.’
No, not just ordinary wizards.
Unless Russell himself revealed it, very few wizards who had reached a certain level were able to properly detect his magic power.
Even Blaine couldn’t properly understand Russell’s circle and had to resort to shallow measures.
In fact, it was Daria and Hemingway who truly grasped the amount of magic that Russell possessed.
There were only two people.
If we turn it around-.
‘This means that unless you reach at least the 8th circle level, you won’t be able to properly detect the magical power I have.’
The trick Russell used to deceive Hughes was also based on that characteristic.
After forcibly creating the presence of magical power using spirit righteousness, he hid the magical power he originally possessed as much as possible.
“Volcanic Cannon—!!!!”
Kwaaaang-!
An explosion mixed with high-temperature magma and volcanic bombs.
This is not an ordinary magma eruption.
The small volcano itself was created through magic.
Russell moved his vocal cords as he witnessed the enemy’s appearance instantly covered in magma.
【… … .】
I tried to spit out the ‘one move’ that the owner of the voice left behind.
But first, wow!
The magma splits.
Magma split into five pieces and six branches gurgling in different directions!
“How dare you-!!”
In it, Hughes appeared. He was blocking the magma rising towards him with one hand.
His right arm was blistered from blocking the magma and his eyes were filled with irritation.
And the hair was black and gave off an acrid smell.
“I admit it.”
Between them, a ghastly murderous force spewed out.
“I have killed many wizards so far, but you are the first one to push me to this level.”
It was the recognition of a Master-level strongman who transcended human boundaries.
However, Russell could not be purely happy after receiving the recognition.
For that to happen, Hughes’s fierceness was too overwhelming.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It seemed as if the surrounding colors were turning colorless.
Although it was not completely recreated, Russell looked tired at the momentum that drove away even the Dragon Fear.
‘You endured a volcanic eruption with your bare body?’
No matter how small it is, a volcano is a volcano!
A bit of a surprise.
Russell, who realized his momentary mistake, tensed again.
At that very moment, spot-.
“Tsk-!”
Russell instinctively turned his body. She, along with him, had blood spurting from her shoulder.
It wasn’t deep, but it was a position where his head would have been cut if he hadn’t moved.
Finger Blade.
In the East, it was a method called geomgyeolji (劍結指).
I never thought it would be launched this far.
The aftermath alone reveals the inner skin and makes one’s bones feel bitter at the cracked earth for a moment.
Russell urgently turned his body and used defensive magic.
The reaction speed was not bad considering that my injured shoulder was throbbing.
Boom, boom, boom!
Hughes, who had shaken off the eruption of magma, was already within close range.
Going against the Sword Master and entering his domain is tantamount to suicide.
“Where-!”
However, Hughes also had similar thoughts.
As if he had no intention of giving up the distance he had once gained, the secret sword and sword pointer he held out with his five fingers continued to grind without stopping.
A blood-red auror cut into Russell’s eyes in an instant.
Jjajajak, jjang, jjae-euung-!
Russell’s defensive magic shattered like glass in an attack that seemed to indicate that this was the Sword Master’s sincerity.
“Ugh-!”
Even then, the remaining aftereffects continued to pound Russell’s body.
A strong blow that feels like hitting various parts of the body with a hammer.
If he hadn’t been trained by Overlord and Wizard Body, he would have collapsed screaming.
“Tsk-.”
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit.
Russell, who had been continuing to use defensive magic while enduring pain that turned his eyes white, suddenly changed completely.
‘There is no end to this-.’

Hwaak-.
Overlord and Wizard Body.
He minimized the pain by unleashing two magic spells to the limit, and at the same time began using magic to counter Hughes’ attack.
Rather than giving flesh and taking bones, it’s almost the opposite.
After giving away the bones, I only managed to get a portion of the flesh.
I know that this is a fight with huge losses.
No matter how you calculate it, if it were a fierce battle at this distance, Hughes would have a much greater advantage.
But I couldn’t think of any way to get out of Hughes’s street without doing something like this.
Quack!
The lightning and the sword collided.
Grumble!
It blocks the big sword through the vacuum space created by burning the entire air.
In a split second, gravity was used to tie up Hughes’ feet.
bang!
The earth rose up in the shape of a huge awl.
It’s a very dangerous tightrope walk where death is certain the moment you make a single mistake.
It was already an eccentricity somewhere between a skill and a stunt.
Artifacts obtained from ruins.
It would have been absolutely impossible if the load of psychic power had not been dispersed through the Golden Mask.
Meanwhile, they were also preparing for a counterattack.
‘Gaybolg-!’
The circle rotated vigorously, squeezing out magical energy without stopping.
Magic power increased significantly by using Yonginhwa. The majority of them, excluding the minimum amount necessary for defense, are pounded into it.
A magic spear weighing dozens of feet.
More magical energy is concentrated into a single shot.
Compress and compress again.
One point.
Converge all your power into one point so that even the Sword Master’s aura can be pierced in an instant!
“Keuuu-.”
The subordinate, who couldn’t even handle the mask, was massaging his brain indiscriminately.
Phuwak-.
Every time, my nose would bleed.
But it doesn’t matter. Because there was no place that wasn’t covered in blood.
Even though he blocked and avoided it, the aftermath alone left him seriously injured.
Russell gritted his teeth, clearly realizing once again the gap between him and the superhuman.
‘Blaze Staff-.’
Grumble!
The flames rising from beneath my feet spread out in all directions, creating ripples.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the area boiled.
“If you are going to die together, you have chosen the wrong person. Wizard!”
He shouted as if it was not worth the fire that immediately filled the surrounding area.
‘Stupid guy… … .’
Russell smiled faintly while swallowing again the blood that was welling up.
The reason he deployed the Blaze Staff was not to commit suicide with the bastard.
It was just to heat the atmosphere and hide Gaebolg with the heat.
‘You only get one chance.’
With just one chance, I had to pierce his heart.
The moment this failed, death was virtually certain.
“It’s like setting a fire without even realizing that my space to escape is decreasing!”
As if he wasn’t completely fine, Hughes, who had burns in several places, let out a roar and crossed his arms.
“A moth running toward a fire is literally like an insect!”
Bang bang!
As soon as the defensive magic is destroyed, boom!
His left hand took a picture of Russell’s shoulder.
“It’s over. “You damn wizard!”
Quad Deuk! Five fingers dug into my shoulder blades, crushing them as if they were steel awls.
But guess what?
Setting the fire and giving him my shoulder blade.
They were all Russell’s tricks, pieces of a puzzle that were being put together!
“Okay, that’s the end.”
Russell took advantage of the moment of carelessness and moved both hands.
“Bwak!”
With a groan, he grabbed Hughes’ arm, which was digging into his shoulder.
For this moment, I liberated the Memorize that had been hidden away.
“Paralyse-!!”
5 circle paralysis magic.
Considering the Sword Master’s magical defense power, it would be unreasonable to tie up his entire body.
but.
‘At least the left arm connected to me-!’
“Tsk!”
Hughes’ eyebrows rose upward as he felt his arms tingle.
Half a beat faster than that, the magic floating high in the sky fell.
Russell Raymond.
Originality.
The Demon Spear of Death, Gae Bulg.
On top of that, the final ‘move’ that the voice had left behind was overlapped.
They say words have power.
Even though it is closest to the source of magic, it cannot be easily imitated by any wizard.
The highest level of magic that interferes with the very phenomena of the material world.
Eonryeong (言霊).
Of course it wasn’t perfect.
Even that was only a one-time use of the power left behind by the owner of the voice.
However, at least there was enough to decorate the finale of this fight.
【Pierce.uh.ra-!!!!!!!!!!】
It’s too early for the sunset to set.
Red energy covered the foot of the mountain.
――――――!!!!
* * *
A shock wave that could instantly collapse a few small hills shook the entire area.
The entire mountain peak flipped over, and rocks fell in all directions.
Russell’s body, unable to overcome the shock wave, rolled around on the floor.
“Cluck, clack, clack-.”
The very center where the explosion occurred is literally hell itself.
‘It’s a shame that I used Blink to pull myself out at the last moment. If it wasn’t for that… … .’
Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, Russell’s physical condition was by no means normal.
Was it because of the shock wave of the explosion, or was it because he was hit by an exploding rock?
One leg was twisted hideously.
furthermore-.
‘-I think my ribs are gone by at least four… … .’
Cluck, cluck.
Every time I coughed, blood spurted out.
Russell rolled around on the floor again, vomiting blood.
It wasn’t just the trauma that was serious.
Perhaps the time limit for acceptance has ended, and even the backlash has begun to come.
I didn’t faint, but I had a headache and dizziness, which is normal.
“Week-!”
Russell vomited blood mixed with vomit, in pain as if a handful of needles had been scattered over his brain.
I took a deep breath.
“winning… … “Is it?”
What to say.
Even though he borrowed power that was not his own, from the sword master?
Even though he was so exhausted that he couldn’t even lift a finger, Russell smiled faintly.
This is because I felt a sense of accomplishment, as if I had threaded a thread through the eye of a needle spinning in the air, something that could never be achieved.
Is he planning to destroy that sense of accomplishment?
Rattling, rattling-.
Everything had collapsed, the pit was still boiling with fire, and a rattling sound rang out from within.
It was McRae Hughes.
The burn marks that covered half of his face had spread to half of his upper body, and he had probably been penetrated by magic.
The left arm appears to have completely evaporated and disappeared, however.
Nonetheless, Hughes was alive. Although he suffered serious injuries, he was still breathing.
‘That… … ‘You blocked it?’
To be precise, rather than saying that he blocked it, we should say that he barely escaped it in exchange for one arm, but the meaning in the context was not much different.
“Hehe. Hehehe.”
Slurp, slump-.
As his melted skin soaked the floor with fluid, he came up to Russell’s nose and cried like an animal.
It has to be that way.
Burns covered almost half of his body, and his left arm, which had been torn off and evaporated, would not be able to be restored even if a top-quality potion was poured on him.
Because of this incident, he would have become the weakest among all sword masters, both in name and reality.
Hughes could not accept the fact that the person who achieved all that was at best a 5th circle wizard, a level he treated as a scum.
“I won’t kill you gently. At least like me… … , no. “You will have to go through dozens of times the pain I experienced.”
Above the eyes filled with madness, an eerie flesh glows.
“First, start with your left arm.”
He raised the blade of his hand as if he was going to take back what had been done to me and rip off my left arm.
“Tsk-.”
Even when he was ready to die, Russell gritted his teeth.
I tried to turn the circle, which rattled and creaked.
“!!!”
Every time a single thread of magical power flows out, pain as if struck by lightning comes over me.
It felt like a swarm of fire ants were wandering around Mana Road.
The only thing Russell was able to complete was the ‘Magic Missile’.
It’s literally a final struggle.
Russell was trying to fire it with all his remaining strength, but when he came forward, there was a knock!
Suddenly, a huge wall of earth rose up.
bang!
A soaring earthen wall blocked Hughes’ attack.
“That character, which is as shallow as an animal, does not improve with time. Sir McRae Hughes.”
A voice as hard as a rock was heard.
wizard who swallowed a dragon
