EPISODE.86
* * *
The faint glow of the sunset is gradually fading away.
The area between the towering rocky mountains and the canyons was becoming dark one by one.
Pat, pababat-.
There was a group of people jumping between rocky mountains and canyons.
Swift movement as if it were a night bird. With a single leap of the foot, it leaps a distance of more than tens of meters and crosses the top of rocky mountains.
To others, it may seem like a great feat and acrobatics.
However, to those who actually looked like him, it was not that big of a deal.
That’s because among those running through the canyon right now, there wasn’t a single one who wasn’t strong.
Moreover, the elf warriors, who were the weakest of the group, also had skills beyond that of a knight.
‘Plus, I’m receiving protection from the wind spirit…’
Russell was also among the group.
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggago-.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Is it because it got dark?
As if announcing the full-scale activity of the monsters, terrifying cries from various places continued to pierce my ears.
Flap, flutter!
The sound of a large fluttering cloth was heard along with it.
Then, wow!
Several flying monsters soared up from the bottom of the canyon, riding the rising air current.
Kyaaaaaak-
It opened its mouth wide and threatened the group. When I cut it, the growing teeth shine sharply in the darkness.
They were monsters so big and with wings that they looked like they could grab a decent bull or something with one foot and fly up.
If you were hit by a claw as sharp as a sword, even if you were an adult, you would be torn apart like a piece of paper.
“Roc, the great monster! Why are these guys who only live in the Western Mist Valley here?!”
Olive, a mage belonging to the White Tower of the Royal Capital, shouted in surprise.
Did it sound like they were scared? The moment one of them opened his eyes and clicked his big beak.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt of fire fell from the sky.
‘-Red thunder!’
Lightning and flames combine to drive away the darkness, and roar!
A giant monster bird that was hit directly turned into a lump of charcoal with white eyes and fell down the gorge.
Besides, Russell’s magic isn’t over yet.
‘Chain-!’
I close my open hands.
Quack!
An explosion occurred once again. Flames burst out from the body of the great monster, which fell down to a lump of charcoal, and scattered in five directions.
The attacks, which had sufficient firepower as well as accuracy, were linked together in a fluid manner.
‘The Great Destruction is that simple?’
These guys had magical defense that was as formidable as their size.
Therefore, in order to deal with it in one blow, you need to use a fairly high-level spell.
‘But the fact that it ended so quickly…’
I could only assume that they had sensed the presence of the great monster and prepared their magic even before it came up.
‘I guess it’s true that the skills are as rumored.’
Among those in the magic world, a new divinity has appeared.
There is probably no one who has not heard rumors about ‘Russell Raymond’.
However, because she was busy with various things, this subjugation battle was the first time Olive saw him in person.
‘I never thought there would be such a difference even though it was the same top owner’s salary.’
Olive, who confirmed the rumored genius of a young man who was only in his mid-twenties, stuck out his tongue.
Now there is only one giant monster bird left.
‘Perhaps Earl Russell will do the same.’
The young man, thinking like that, looked back and found himself laughing as he glanced at the sky, as if he was dumbfounded.
‘… … ?’
The time it took to realize the meaning of that smile was literally just over a second.
“Uracha!”
Suddenly, there was someone jumping up from among the group with a scream.
bang!
A new type soars into the sky like a cannonball, and a vicious punch that hits the great monster’s chest!
Kwajeok, bang!!
With a large explosion of flame, the body of the great monster was thrown vertically several meters.
Wudduk, wudduk!
Not only had all his ribs been shattered, but even his spine seemed to have been twisted, and he was twisting his whole body and screaming.
Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!
That was the end. It fell towards the bottom of the canyon in a screaming position.
Next, the large man who jumped up landed next to the running companions.
‘Vermilion… … Ulsen.’
The flame of the Flame Tower.

Should this person be called a wizard, or should he be called a martial artist?
‘There was a strong explosion from the fist that struck, so it must have been magic… … .’
Leaving the confused Olive behind, Russell’s memories slowly went back to the past.
Just a few dozen minutes ago, to the moment when a wounded Feather fell down.
* * *
“I am defeated. Silver-haired Sentinel… … . Up, danger.”
As the words flowed out in a stutter, the mood of the fairies suddenly changed.
Among the fairies present, there was not a single one who did not know who the silver-haired Sentinel represented.
Dwarf Chief Eitri’s eyes turned to Arain.
“Arain.”
Then, the chief of the Feather tribe spoke with difficulty. He lowered his head and muttered.
“… … This is the guy who went out with Ionim five days ago to rescue those who were stranded. The fact that this guy came back like this… … .”
It was also consistent with the statement that something was wrong with Io and those who went out together at the time.
Originally, we would have to hear the detailed story. However, the Feather man who fell seemed to have run out of strength and passed out.
It was then.
“Wait a minute, could you please step aside for a moment?”
Russell appeared from behind and approached the Feather man. He opened the subspace and skillfully took out a potion, then opened the cap.
Pong-.
The potion’s unique, strong scent begins to flow from inside the bottle.
It was a potion that contained Aidan Owl’s catalyst and was about 20% more effective than a regular potion.
It may not be possible to recover from all wounds at once, but you will still be able to recover some strength.
Just as Russell thought.
“Hmm… … .”
It started to come to life.
After just a few minutes, the Feather man who had fainted opened his eyes.
The Feather tribe chief asked as if he had been waiting.
“Are you okay?”
He looked around for a moment with a puzzled look on his face, then nodded after understanding the situation.
“yes… … .”
“Then tell me. “What on earth happened?”
.
.
In response to the chief’s question, the man who had regained his strength opened his mouth with difficulty and began to explain.
“That is… … .”
The explanation was by no means short, but the content itself was not that complicated.
‘As soon as the information came in, we rushed to rescue the stranded personnel, but there were too many injured people and children, so we could not return quickly.’
Not only is the speed of return slower than expected, but it is also natural that we are continually attacked by monsters.
“I did well to stop the first few attacks, but… … That was the problem.”
If you managed to stop the attack, that’s fine, but that’s the problem.
“What on earth does that mean?”
Amelia Merwin explained to Eitri, who was pounding her chest in frustration.
I don’t know much about the elves in the Great Forest, but it was a fairly familiar development for them who had experienced war several times.
“… … “Even if you successfully block an attack, it doesn’t mean you can prevent fatigue from accumulating.”
Nicolo added.
“Not only did the number of injured continue to increase, but the personnel who moved to rescue them also probably became increasingly injured and exhausted.”
The Feather man nodded as if what he said was correct.
The explanation continued.
“yes. As a result, the movement speed had to continue to decrease. The good news is that we haven’t encountered a large group of monsters so far… … .”
It was just last night that this place was attacked by a large army of monsters.
If they were not far from here, the possibility that they were also attacked by a similar number of monsters could not be ruled out.
“—Ah!”
Arain sighed and Eitri shouted as she grabbed her sledgehammer.
“We have to go help!”
Nicolo took a step forward.
“We will also join in.”
If I could use this opportunity to owe the fairies one more debt, that wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
“Would you please do that?”
“Haven’t Endymion and the fairies already formed an alliance?”
Then he turned his head.
“Count Russell.”
“yes. Tower owner.”
“It seems like there is an acquaintance of yours among the elves who are said to be in danger. Would you like to come forward?”
“of course.”
Baektapju, who was flying around on a rabbit doll, also opened his mouth.
“The White Tower’s search magic using the wind will also be helpful. olive. “You should go too.”
Two of these.
Problems could also arise with too many forces leaving the formation at once.
All you need to do is send at least one more person.
“If you just send a priest, it will help you, so I will go with you.”
“Lord Vermilion. “If you come to the police station, it will be enough.”
There were three top level wizards, a force that would never be ignored no matter where they went on the continent.
Meanwhile, the fairies also completed the selection of support personnel.
“Azlan.”
“yes. “Arain.”
“I’m sure you’re exhausted from returning straight from last night, but you’re the only one I can ask for. “Can you come forward?”
Azlan was still in better condition than other warriors who had accumulated fatigue and injuries from frequent battles.
“of course.”
He tapped his fist gently on the center of his heart.
“Azlan, the first guardian of the Blue Wisteria tribe. “I will definitely come back with Io.”
Arain added to him, who lowered his head as if it was obvious.
“Take the clan’s twenty rangers and warriors. “It will definitely help.”
.
.
It’s been several dozen minutes since we started moving in the direction of Io. Russell asked Olive, who was following him.
“Olive. “Have you found anything?”
In response to that question, she, who was using the wind to scatter search magic over a wide area, shook her head with a somber expression.
“… … “Not yet, not yet.”
“hmm… … .”
They have already traveled tens of kilometers.
According to the location the Feather man said, it was almost time for them to be visible.
Seeing Russell like that, Vermilion, who was running next to him, opened his mouth.
“It seems that as the battle broke out, they were unable to determine the direction and were swept to one side.”
“It’s a fairly common occurrence on the battlefield,” Vermilion muttered, looking at Azlan and asking.
“It looks like we need to speed up even more. Is that possible?”
“Hmm.”
Azlan sighed softly at those words.
“I would like to do it right away, but the situation is not conducive.”
I don’t know if it was Azlan himself or Endymion’s mages, but the problem was other ordinary elves.
The best they could do was to keep up with the current speed, and even that was possible because they were receiving the protection of the superior wind spirit summoned by Azlan.
‘But if I go first, the spirit’s protection will disappear and they will fall behind.’
In this situation, you have no choice but to make a decision.
“If you go first, we will follow right away.”
If it was not a search but simply a chase, it could be done with the elemental magic of the elves.
“Then, I will.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Vermilion winked at Russell and Olive.
and.
Damn it, bang!
Part of the rocky mountain collapses, and the three new figures are shot forward like cannonballs.
Kwagwagwagwagwa!
The gusts of wind and dust clouds that arose confused my eyes.
The elves who were following opened their mouths in surprise as they saw the three people quickly turning into dots and moving away.
“oh my god… … .”
“It’s impossible for a human being without the protection of a spirit to move like that… … .”
Although they did not reach superhuman status, they are also monsters that are one step outside the boundaries of the world.
It seemed that the way people looked at powerful people like humans and long-lived elves were not much different.
A little while after that.
“I found it!”
Olive shouted sharply.
“4km south! “It’s a sign of battle!”
