Magic is a science that reveals more things than it reveals.
To that extent, it is a moment of awakening.
It was inevitable that the moment of enlightenment would come suddenly.
As there were endless possibilities, it was impossible to know at what turning point and what kind of enlightenment would come.
In some cases, like Russell, it was influenced by a certain scenery and developed into an image.
There may even be cases where it comes in the midst of a fierce struggle where the gap between life and death is divided.
Alan Page’s case was closer to the latter.
The moment of awakening came while suppressing the poisonous energy that had flowed into my body and was running wild.
‘Of course, the fact that I was able to capture that moment was purely thanks to Sir Alan’s efforts.’
Those who lack effort cannot grab hold of the moment they have been waiting for, even if it comes.
Hwaaaaa-.
The storm of magic that had been swirling around at random began to stabilize little by little.
The sharp wind that was running wild and baring its teeth in all directions was gone, and in the hall, only the cool wind was moving quietly in a circle.
It was evidence that Alan’s condition was gradually stabilizing.
Of course, there was a high possibility that it would still take a long time for the awakening to end.
Looking at that scene, Lehman and Cassandra muttered as if they were possessed by something.
“Oh, this is it…” … .”
“It is a sight where a wizard reaches the limits of humanity and finally becomes qualified to face the state of superhumanity.”
A voice like a dream.
It was worth it.
Because they were also wizards who had reached the level of the 5th Circle.
Even though it was not his job, he must have decided that indirectly experiencing other people’s experiences would also be of great help in the future.
Russell gave them advice in a low voice.
“It’s okay for you two to use today’s events as a reference, but you should be careful not to let your thoughts become fixed on one side.”
“… … ?”
The two wizards who were looking at Alan as if fascinated by those words turned their heads.
I looked at him with a questioning expression for a moment. With his arms crossed, Russell began to explain.
“As you both know, no one can predict when and how the moment of awakening will come. In such a situation, if you are greatly influenced by today’s events and fixate your image on one side… … .”
“-ah!”
Lehman and Cassandra exclaimed at the same time.
Without any need for further explanation, I realized what Russell was trying to say.
They were also magicians who had reached a level worthy of being called high-ranking wizards.
“What you’re saying is that the more the image is fixed to one side, the more likely it is that all other areas of possibility will be closed off.”
Russell lowered his head, thinking that he understood what Cassandra said correctly.
He then looked at Alan, who was glowing blue, and said.
“For now, I think it would be best to tell Count Reinkel and make sure no one enters this room.”
Just as the moment of awakening comes for different reasons for each individual, the time it takes to awaken also varies greatly from person to person.
Some people, like me, finished it in just a few hours, while others took several days in some cases.
If possible, it would be better for him to remain here.
but-.
‘There is too little time for that.’
There was at most a day and a few hours left until the Hydra subjugation war.
‘If Sir Alan’s awakening ends before then, it will be of great help in terms of power… … .’
You shouldn’t place your expectations on something you’re not sure about.
After hearing the news, Count Reinkel came running in a huff with his knights to guard him, and Russell returned to his room.
.
.
After a period of commotion around dawn. When Russell opened his eyes the next day, he was having a day no different from yesterday.
A day where new information was collected and the operation was checked through it.
‘The number of monsters continues to increase… … .’
However, what bothered me a little was the observation that the army of monsters surrounding Hydra was gradually increasing.
Although it was still within the expected range, it was not something that could be easily ignored.
‘Does this mean that the wounds suffered back then are completely healed?’
It was very likely. As soon as his wounds are fully healed, he will be thinking of attacking the county again.
They may be gathering monsters to bide their time until then.
‘The final action is at dawn tomorrow. In order to reduce damage to our allies, it would be better to reduce the number of monsters with the first attack.’
‘Through wide-area magic bombardment in terrain that can capture as many monsters as possible… … .’
Time to revise your strategy, organize your tasks, and move your pen.
Square, square-.
The sound of a pen tip scraping across paper continues to be heard, and several hours later.
It was later that evening that Russell put down his pen, after some news was delivered.
“Lord Alan has woken up!”

Upon hearing the news that the soldier rushed to deliver, Russell hurriedly moved the new model.
I flew towards Alan’s hospital room.
‘I thought it might take a few more days.’
I never thought the awakening would be over in one day. Russell raised the corners of her mouth as she remembered Alan’s awakening faster than expected.
It wasn’t just a laugh at the thought that a new force had been added to the battle against Hydra.
The joy of being able to finally stand on the same stage again as an opponent who was regarded as a friendly competitor and who had been abusing procedures.
The joy just flowed out as laughter.
Click, click-.
Russell arrived in the hospital room at once and stretched out his hand to open the door.
‘Sir Alan.’
He must have succeeded in creating a circle, as the atmosphere felt from him became even more profound.
Russell muttered to himself at that sight.
‘Is it an iceberg?’
What he felt from his teacher, Hemingway Melville, was an ocean containing a huge sense of moisture.
What Alan felt right now was a huge iceberg.
Also, Geobing (巨氷), who not only hides about 90% of himself, but also retains the ancient chill.
It wasn’t difficult to guess why.
Since the battle the day before, he had preferred to use ice attribute magic rather than water attribute magic.
Perhaps the attribute that suited him best was not water, but its derivative, ice.
‘In addition to that, by forming the 6th circle, we would have established a somewhat independent direction.’
Even though they are the same magicians, that is also the reason why 6th circle magicians are called top lord level unlike 5th circle magicians.
Because he had established his own path to some extent, there was enough to create a school.
What changed was not only the atmosphere and temperament surrounding him.
The appearance was also a little different from before. Because his eyes were as thin as thread, I couldn’t tell if his gaze had deepened… … .
‘Gray-white (灰白色)-.’
Did he expend a lot of mental energy in the process of overcoming the poison? His gray hair had turned a little closer to white.
It was then.
Lehman, Cassandra, and Count Reinkel, who heard the news a little later than Russell, arrived.
“Sir Alan!”
“I heard you woke up… … .”
Suddenly there was a commotion, and Alan turned his head.
“… … “Lord Russell.”
Allen, with a cracked voice, looked around and found Russell, and his eyes trembled slightly.
“Even though the leader of the subjugation team came, he fell asleep. “Please forgive me for violating etiquette.”
Although he spoke with the utmost politeness, his eyes were rounded like those of a happy fox.
Others said it was a joke.
It wasn’t particularly fun, but Russell smiled and opened his mouth.
“What else is there to do but forgive? “There were unavoidable circumstances.”
“I’m glad you said that.”
“Rather… … .”
“… … ?”
“Are you feeling okay?”
Although he had awakened, his mind and body were weakened as he fought against the poison.
There was nothing surprising if any side effects or aftereffects remained. That’s why I asked, and instead of answering, Alan waved his magic once.
After carefully checking the condition of my body, I stood up.
“as you see-.”
A cold chill flowed along his shoulder line along with the voice.
Sigh, blah blah blah.
The chill that started under my feet soon spread throughout the hospital room, frost formed along the glass windows, and the scenery beyond became chaotic.
The magic power that was only released insignificantly was having this effect on the entire area.
Meanwhile, Alan muttered.
“There is no problem.”
Alan’s eyes were shining brightly as he said that.
.
.
Hahaha, flutter!
The military flag waved fiercely in the wind.
As if in response, the spirit of the assembled knights and soldiers shook violently.
Meanwhile, Count Reinkel drove the horse.
Tap, tap, tap.
Purr purr-
A trained courser seems to be giving a tour de force once, as if it has some influence on military discipline.
Regardless, the eyes of Count Reinkel, who was sitting on top of him, were fixed on one place.
The entrance to the swamp seen beyond.
It is a large swamp area the size of several fiefdoms.
Until recently, it was a grateful water source that constantly supplied water to the county.
The once gracious swamp was now shrouded in an unpleasant light green fog.
Unless the Hydra that nested there and the monsters that are its servants are eliminated, it will be a long way for that place to regain its original appearance.
“Our fight today will bring about a peaceful tomorrow for my family and neighbors!”
That’s why the count drew his sword.
“Everyone prepare to go out.”
He glared at the entrance to the swamp and shouted fiercely.
“As soon as the wizards remove the miasma, they will rush inside!”
.
.
At that time, Count Reinkel was preparing to rush in with the knights.
Russell and other wizards were standing on a hill overlooking the swamp.
In the process of revising the operation, this hill was discovered through a topographic map.
“Then let’s begin.”
Lehman said, Russell nodded, and the wizards in the back chanted spells at the same time.
Uuuuuung-.
At the same time, the wind in the atmosphere begins to fluctuate greatly.
Then, the moment a huge sphere of wind falls from the hill into the swamp, wow!
A strong upward current was created.
The rising wind swirled around the swamp and quickly dispersed the poisonous air into the sky!
Count Reinkel, who noticed that the fog had disappeared, screamed like a scream.
“Inrush—!!!!”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
“Waaaaaa!”
“Wow! “Let’s drive out the monster!”
“Let’s kill the hydra!”
As the raised knights and soldiers ran forward, an earth-shaking sound rang out.
Kiek? Kieeeh?
The monsters, who noticed the anomaly half a beat later, raised their heads all at once.
Along with the screaming, the unrefined killing power typical of monsters poured out.
There are only a few dozen seconds left until the knights and monsters collide!
Before that, something fell into the middle of a group of monsters.
A shot of great army magic prepared by Russell in advance.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The whole area boiled over with magic that was perfect for announcing the start of the subjugation.
Russell Raymond.
Originality.
Falling Sun.
The red-orange sun descended toward the swamp.
