Episode 88
EPISODE.44
The moment when I was preparing for the final struggle, prepared for death.
Russell’s eyes trembled slightly at the stone wall blocking his path as if to protect him.
‘This… … .’
It is Earth Wall, an ordinary 4th circle spell.
However, the magic power contained within was by no means light, and Russell could barely move his eyes at the magic power that was as heavy and solid as a stone.
I looked in the direction the voice came from.
“—?!”
Hughes was also surprised by the voice that came out of nowhere.
He twisted his head and his fingers trembled, as if he couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
It has to be that way.
‘At this distance, you didn’t detect a presence until you heard a voice?’
No matter how tired and injured he was, he was a sword master.
The meaning of the fact that he deceived his senses and came this far was clear.
‘strong… … .’
To put it mildly, he was a master-level Auror user, and if compared to a wizard, he was a local tower owner.
As if in response to those thoughts, magical power as hard as a rock energized the entire area.
Kurrrrrr-.
Hughes’ face stiffened at the sound that felt like the entire earth was crying out for a long time.
This is because they realized that the opponent was an unexpectedly strong person through the magical power they felt.
‘master-.’
A superman who had overcome the wall was here.
Kurrrrr-.
For a while, I tilted my head at the magical power I felt as if I had felt it somewhere, and soon the owner of the magical power appeared.
“You… … .”
Hughes recognized his face and growled fiercely.
He looks more like an Eastern monk than a wizard and has copper-colored skin.
Even an eye patch to hide one eye lost on the battlefield.
Niccolo Machiavelli.
The owner of the royal capital, the Yellow Tower, and the best yellow archmage belonging to Endymion.
He has now appeared on this battlefield.
“for now-.”
He lightly shook his palms and trailed off.
“I want you to get away from the side of the proud wizard of your home country right away?”
A truly light move.
However, the result of that one move was by no means light.
As the magic power flowing through the fingers covered the surface, parts of the earth began to tremble.
It melted like a thick liquid and quickly took the shape of a swamp.
Squeak-!
Hughes tried to kick the ground as he saw the ground he was standing on melting in an instant.
I was trying to get rid of the new model.
But before that-.
“-Huh?”
The thickened earth pulled his body in.
Creep!
At the same time that my lower body was buried up to my knees, the ground, which had turned into a swamp, undulated like a torrent.
Kugwagwagwa-!
With that momentum, he threw Hughes on the other side.
bang!
Hughes groaned at the pain of his back being bent like a bow.
“Knock-!”
The entire area is rocking roughly like waves and the ground is collapsing.
The spiderweb-like incontinence spread out and a hole appeared.
Jeok, kuwagwagwang!
The depth is several meters.
“Ugh-.”
If I hadn’t protected my lower back with Aura, my spine would have been crushed and protruded through my body.
Hughes groaned in pain as if several bones had been broken.
Meanwhile, Nicolo came to Russell’s side and took the potion.
Pong-.
I poured it into my mouth and checked Russell’s condition.
“Are you okay?”
There’s no way it’s going to be okay.
Even at a glance, it appears to be a serious injury. It wasn’t a wound that could be fixed with a bottle or two of potion.
‘Hmm.’
In order to treat a twisted leg, the bones had to be aligned first.
Not only that, it takes quite a bit of time to drive out the aurors that have infiltrated the body.

What’s surprising is that Russell is still alive despite being injured this much.
‘That’s not enough, McLye Hughes, you pushed that beast all the way there.’
A superhuman who became a sword master.
The feat of burning off half of his body and completely blowing off his left arm was not something a 5th Circle wizard could do.
It would be impossible even if the enemy were at a similar level, let alone Hemingway or Daria.
But this young man did such an amazing thing.
‘I never thought the day would come when I would feel awe beyond admiration for my junior’s skills.’
What surprised him even more was Russell’s voice that followed.
“… … Top owner, sir.”
“Please refrain from speaking. “They say he drank a potion, but that was only an emergency measure.”
“The death penalty… … What happened to Hubert’s execution and Kiel’s envoy?”
Even in this situation, he seems to be more worried about others than his own safety.
Niccolo’s eyes widened, surprised by that thoughtfulness.
“If it’s them, don’t worry. “We have safely met the second group, received treatment, and are on our way to our home country.”
“-Is that so.”
The fact that he had been here holding on to that guy’s ankle was not in vain.
Only then did Russell sigh in relief.
“You worked hard.”
Nicolo opened another pot of potion and put it to his mouth, placing his palm on Russell’s forehead.
Sleep.
After relieving the pain through sleep magic, I woke up.
Patter, patter-.
McLeigh Hughes rose from a pit several meters deep.
Indeed, Sword Master.
No matter how seriously injured he was, he probably didn’t die instantly from those injuries.
“What a tough vitality.”
Quad deuk-.
Niccolo increased his magic power by moving the ground like a river and pushing Russell backwards.
“A loser who ran away in an unsightly manner-.”
As if he wasn’t going to lose, Hughes fired back.
He, too, was not unaware of the current situation. It was natural that if he fought this guy with such serious injuries, he would inevitably lose.
However, despite this, Hughes did not run away.
No, I couldn’t escape.
There was no way the person in front of him would just let him go.
Just like you did.
I had to create a gap somehow.
“You’re a loser.”
You’re not wrong. Nicolo said and ran his fingertips over his eye patch.
The wound I suffered the day before seemed to be throbbing in one of my eyes, which had already disappeared.
This is probably called phantom pain.
“I honed my fierce fighting skills for revenge, but-.”
I never thought I would meet you in a situation like this.
It was a situation where one should feel defeated, but Nicolo did not feel that way.
“It is my personal wish to take revenge in the right place, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
Instead, seven circles were rotated at high speed.
“You are such an enemy of the country that I cannot let personal grudges take precedence.”
Kwagwagwagwa!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground split apart.
Between them, a cliff like an abyss appears.
Wow!
Hughes jumped up into the open mouth of the earth, as if it would swallow him up at any moment.
“Tsk-!”
The flesh that was melting from the heat falls off in a patter.
To make matters worse, rocks fell from the sky like artillery fire.
‘If only I had a sword!’
If that were the case, I would have cut them down and fled, but this is truly a dilemma.
Quad deuk!
The moment you manage to hit a rock with just one arm, boom!
The rising earth struck him in the abdomen.
“Oops!”
His body spins and bounces several times in the air. Several of his ribs seemed to have been crushed.
But even so, Hughes laughed.
“To be stupid-.”
When holding it close isn’t enough, you send it flying backwards.
Isn’t this really giving them an opportunity to escape?
The moment I thought that and was about to turn around, boom!
Heavy gravity pressed down on his body.
If the derivative magic of fire is thunderbolt, the derivative magic of earth is gravity.
For Nicolo, who was at the top of the lineage of the Imperial Tower, gravity magic was one of his strengths.
“Kkeok-!”
He fell flat on the floor and screamed.
It felt like my bones and muscles, as well as my internal organs, were being crushed.
A pain that comes from all directions and squeezes your entire body.
“Off… … .”
All Hughes could do was to continue to wriggle his distorted body.
If only the amount of aurors had been sufficient, or at least if the body had been intact-.
‘Nothing like gravity.’
It would have been enough to endure.
However, the wounds he suffered and his mental strength were too much for that to happen.
Most of them were injuries from the fight with Russell.
“I never thought people would laugh at the magician’s move fight as stupid.”
“… … ?”
“It’s not even funny.”
The reason I used the earth to bounce him off was not to help him escape.
It was to pull him into the gravitational field that had been prepared from the beginning.
“Trash, trash. “It was something you used to say.”
A cold voice continued.
“But what about the feeling of crawling around on the floor like a bug?”
Hughes twitched his lips.
It was to respond to Nicolo’s provocation by saying something.
The reason I became like this was never because of you.
It’s because of that little wizard with abnormally strong powers.
That’s why what you did to me wasn’t revenge.
That moment-.
“Ugh-!”
pop-!
The sound of a balloon popping rang out.
It was the sound of his lungs exploding, unable to withstand the pressure.
That was the beginning.
Crunch, crack!
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of bones and muscles crunching.
The sound of something exploding rang without stopping.
“Ub-!”
Just a few seconds later.
Nicolo scolded Hughes coldly as he looked at Hughes, who couldn’t even utter a proper word and was covered in blood and chunks of meat on the floor.
“Now that I think about it, bugs can’t speak human language.”
.
.
“… … .”
It was some time later that Russell regained consciousness. Some time had passed.
Wow-.
I can feel the surrounding scenery passing by at a fast pace.
The sight of the castle wall approaching at an incredible speed.
Although I was still unconscious, it was easy to understand the situation.
‘safely… … ‘You’re back.’
To your home country.
The appearance of the castle wall getting closer was consistent with the one we had departed from the previous day.
Perhaps the person who is now running towards the castle wall carrying him is Nicolo.
As if to say that the reasoning was correct, Nicolo kicked the floor.
Bang bang!
It is truly a technique close to vertical ascent.
He soared dozens of meters in one leap and climbed over the castle wall in one go.
Pot-!
As soon as I landed on the floor, I shouted to those around me.
“Medical team, hurry and call the medical team!”
From the urgent voice, I could tell how fast he ran to the castle wall.
“Get the stretcher ready!”
“Bring as many clean bandages and potions as possible!”
“Those who are good at bone fracture, start by adjusting the leg bones first!”
The medical staff gathered in and looked at Russell’s condition and made a fuss.
‘eww-.’
Russell closed his eyes, feeling as if his head was pounding again.
As if they had been waiting, the beast demons flocked in once again…
[You have completed the mission.]
[Compensation will be paid. As a reward… … .]
[You have completed the mission.]
[Reward… … .]
Then, a notification came into Russell’s ears.
With the special envoy escort of the Kingdom of Carmel.
The Sword Master’s return from danger.
It was the sound of two missions being accomplished.
