Subjugation of Velbroke (9)
– Tap, tap.
I like the feel of the cotton blanket tickling the tip of my nose, so I brush it on my face a few times.
If you listen to the sound of the crackling fire in the fireplace and leave your body in the warmth, you will fall asleep before you know it.
From under the blanket, Lucy Meiril, who is small in size, pokes her head out.
An old wizard was sitting in front of the fireplace, visible through a slit of a soft cotton blanket.
I was poking the burning firewood a few times with an iron skewer without doing anything special, perhaps to keep Lucy’s seat next to her until she went to sleep.
Gloct Elderbane’s back, who is now completely old and struggling to control himself, is so pitiful that I’m afraid he’ll collapse if I touch him.
He himself said that he lived as long as he could. They say what is the meaning of living longer, but I am living because I am alive.
Even when asked what the hell he was talking about, Glockt didn’t give a clear answer, just served Lucy’s food.
‘I lived quite a long time.’
As the flames swayed, the various shadows that filled the cabin shook their bodies together.
A starless night. As if the fireflies were going to fill that role, a few of them clung to the windows, giving off useless light.
I saw a wrinkled hand clutching an iron skewer.
‘In those days, I hated my teacher.’
Glockt noticed that Lucy was having a hard time falling asleep, probably because she took a lot of naps, and said that in a calm voice.
Did he know that reciting old stories is the best way for a young child struggling to sleep?
Glockt Elderbane, who had already lost his entire family at a young age, lost the meaning of life and all motivation.
When he went to the great sage and confessed that he did not want to live a painful life like this… She had beaten the young Glockt one blow all night long.
I couldn’t believe that the master of Aspect Magic with the most lofty knowledge in the world had started punching… Eventually, the world smiled brightly and the words that continued energetically made me collapse.
― ‘Live first and tell me! Not even knowing!’
After that, as the first disciple of Sylvania who was exiled to Aken Island… He had a pretty eventful day.
Being dragged around as an assistant to a teacher who is doing everything, doing dangerous things like research… There were far more days when I screamed, got angry, or sighed heavily.
Dare to pull Glockt’s wrist and show him the scenery of the top of the mountain, or laugh at seeing him tremble in front of a huge wind wolf he’s never seen before, and when he’s injured, he treats him even though he’s furious asking why he wasn’t careful, When the research results didn’t come out well, he was depressed, but the next day, he raised his voice and recited the theory of magic.
As I was being swayed around like that, before I knew it, I had become a wizard who could serve one person.
As I was diligent again, people who were disciples and followed Glockt came to me.
People are praising and reading the book that I have written several times to organize the theory.
I feel sorry for the lives of people dying unfairly while playing on the battlefield, so I use my strength.
He also directly defeated monsters and spirits that appeared like disasters.
Meet a woman who is destined to fall in love with you like a flame, and get what you call a family.
Losing a loved one in a life-or-death battle, losing a family member.
Realize that there are still things you want to protect in the midst of sadness and exhaustion, and try to get up again.
Arguing with the forces that harm you, shaking hands with the forces that support you.
Study, teach, fight, run away, cry, laugh, get angry, reconcile.
If you think about the fact that the place where you reached the end is a cabin deep in this mountain range that no one visits after all.
The words of Glockt as a child who foresaw that he would end his life in solitude anyway… To a certain extent, it fits.
Because you are the one who knows your life best. It may be that at such a young age he already had an insight into his destiny.
Even so, if there was something I didn’t take into account. It is a process, not a result.
‘I just lived, and there were people who climbed on my shoulders and leaned on me at their own will. I never asked for it, but he came to me, clapped and made noise, laughed and cried, worried and got angry… It wasn’t once or twice that I wanted to throw it away because I thought it was so annoying.’
Could it be that I am saying too difficult things for young Lucy? He worries about that, but he says it slowly, thinking that he would be happy if Lucy, now grown up, recalls it one day.
‘It’s empty without it.’
Leaning his back on the wooden chair, the figure of an old man laughing was etched straight into Lucy’s pupils.
‘It’s not easy to live. Still, the day Lucy reached the end of her life… I wish I could reminisce like this.’
Lucy, who is staring through the gaps in the cotton blanket, does not look back at all, and Glockt falls asleep looking at the ceiling as if reminiscing about the years he missed.
‘It was good to live for now.’
― Quaaaaaaaang!
Could it have been a kaleidoscope? For a moment, it seemed as if the scenery of the cabin in the Rameln Mountains of the distant past came to mind, so Lucy had to quickly gritting her teeth and regain her senses.
The place was on the side of the plaza at the entrance of the living building.
After exchanging elemental magic with the great sage Sylvania several times, she couldn’t bear to block Velbrok’s magic bullet and was stuck in her life.
Although his entire body was covered with several layers of defensive magic, every bone was screaming at the shock that leaked out.
When I touched the floor to get myself up, it was muddy. Blood flowed from his body and dripped onto the floor.
Lucy didn’t even show signs of agitation, and raised her magic power to stop the bleeding. From what he could see, he seemed to have been hit squarely by the fountain by the entrance plaza.
A group of monsters can be seen beyond the wet floor all around. The group of survivors who were fighting the monsters looked this way in surprise, but Lucy didn’t care and shook off the water and stood up.
Sylvania, who appeared in the sky, draws out her magic again with her huge staff.
Lucy spat out the phlegm of blood in her mouth and raised her magic power while clutching at her ragged blouse.
“Are you maintaining that seal surrounding Velbroke? Lucy Mayrill.”
Almost no trace of rationality remains in Sylvania looking at the disciple of the disciple, the grandson of the disciple.
Although she noticed the other person’s identity at once, Lucy did not show any signs of panic.
Rather, he was just shaking his head.
“Don’t do anything stupid, please! Please! please! Do something like this! please! stop it! stop! stop! stop it!”
Her head rang at the sharp scream-like cry, and Lucy narrowed her brows.
He was already exhausted from dealing with Velbroke. In addition, it was too much to deal with such a master of Aspect Magic all at once.
Still, Lucy Meiril holds her head high. He has neither the heart to run nor the heart to fall.
He doesn’t stop rolling his head even though he’s bleeding.
“Because you can’t subdue Velbroke directly, aren’t you forcibly maintaining the sealing law circle I built in the past?”
spit out an incomprehensible sound. Lucy Meiril did nothing.
Still, Lucy didn’t bother to argue.
“It’s rare to find someone with the amount of magical energy that can sustain such a large scale. you… . You are the variable that caused all of this… Lucy Mayrill… hehe… hehehe… okay… only you… It’s okay without you. thank you… ”

Lucy gently closed her eyes in the flowing blood.
Ed had heard the story of Velbroke’s resurrection many times before. Lucy said several times that she would shoulder the burden with her.
Lucy managed to draw a conclusion by continuing the flow of thought even while shedding blood.
“You’ve gone mad, pitiful.”
Lucy looks at Sylvania with blank eyes.
“Even if it is Aspect Magic, there is a limit to the magical power of humans alone in order to produce enormous results that can surpass the flow of time. It doesn’t even make sense to jump over such a distant future and reach the present… ”
Lucy always looks blank and bewildered, but her insight is still sharp.
Lucy, who has a deeper understanding of Aspect Magic than anyone else, knows it well.
Like time travel, there is no such thing as magic that jumps into the future. Even if there is, it is impossible to handle with the amount of human magical power.
If so, how can Sylvania exist in the time of ‘now’?
Simple.
It is not that the time of the world was fast-forwarded, but that time itself was stopped.
Middle Aspect Magic ‘Time Prison’.
It is a magic capable of stopping the target’s time until the caster’s magic power runs out.
If you cast it on yourself… It is indeed an ignorant and violent method, but in theory it is not impossible to send oneself flying into the future.
The past of Sylvania, who came to the island of Aken and was obsessed with researching calculation formulas for magical flow.
How much magic power should be poured beyond the time of Velbrooke’s resurrection… Sylvania had been making that calculation.
In addition, calculating the amount of horse power is not the end.
If you cast that enormous Aspect Magic on yourself, even the magical power subordinate to you will be bound by the time prison… The magic’s effect won’t work properly. It’s like blocking the caster’s magical power.
If so, it is necessary to return the magical power to maintain the time prison to an external storage source.
Magic that diverts the Aspect Magic within one’s body to an external Magic Stone or other storage source. It also had to target an unbelievable amount of mana.
The ‘magic of change’ that Merilda talked about and that Sylvania had been researching on the island of Aken.
Now I feel like I’m putting some puzzle together. Lucy looked up and looked at the mountain that towered over the Isle of Aken.
top of the right mountain.
During the freshman class placement test, Ed was sitting guarding… That ‘altar of grinding’.
The identity of the altar, whose origin and origin were unknown, was the traces of Sylvania’s research on magic to send itself into the future.
“You were trying to go over the cliff.”
Like explorers heading towards an unknown continent. Breaking through the curtain of darkness and launching a sailboat across the open sea, biting into it… He wanted to see it with his own two eyes.
The point observed by the great sage Sylvania, where all futures converge to darkness, is called the ‘cliff point’.
The great sage Sylvania, in order to go directly beyond that… He threw himself into the future.
I just couldn’t observe it, but to confirm with my own eyes that the future will continue.
However, the part that the great sage Sylvania had to prepare for was… He said that he had to endure that long time in a time prison.
Even though the time of the body stops, consciousness blooms even in the dark. The time prison does not affect the flow of the mind.
In a scene that seemed to be precipitated into a deep, deep darkness, the great sage Sylvania had endured that long period of time with her own will alone.
However, Sylvania is also human.
The human mind has its limits.
The fundamental fear of darkness that had already encroached on Sylvania.
The endless fear that stimulates the primordial nature of the human being, which made even Crown Prince Lindon tremble and fall into the corner of the room… I had to be exposed endlessly during those long years that I was locked in a time prison.
The old Sylvania endured and endured.
From all this fear of the apocalypse, he smiles and says he will survive… glorified life. Over and over again he seemed to resist the dark whispers that came up whenever he had a chance.
however… My heart was broken in the end… Because you are human after all.
Even if Lucy didn’t know the whole story, at least she could guess why Sylvania had fallen into madness.
She had to suffer endlessly for a long time. From her primordial fear that she had been fighting all her life.
Then, there is nothing that can’t understand Sylvania. The numerous achievements she had accumulated in the past, and the efforts she had made to keep the future of her world moving forward. Everyone can nod their heads and say that they have suffered.
However, I had no intention of collapsing here.
It was because Lucy had something she wanted to protect as Lucy did.
What Lucy wants to protect is not grandiose and grandiose. The future of the world, or the fundamental fear of darkness. It’s so huge that it’s hard to reach with such hands, so the culprits are not even something that can’t be guessed.
“I am sorry.”
Lucy rarely speaks honorifics. Nevertheless, in front of her teacher’s teacher, Lucy bowed her head for a moment.
“I’m not that wide-minded, so I can’t think of such grandiose things as the world or the future. You know. Being a disciple doesn’t always grow the way I want.”
What Lucy wants to protect is just a man’s life. This is the story of a fallen aristocrat who lives in poverty in the northern forest.
You gave me a reason to live on in my empty life… If that’s the case, then he just protects the man’s life with all his might.
In the process, grandiose reasons such as the fate of the world or the darkness of the source are not added. Lucy is not bound by such fate.
I received something, I just give it back. Since you have received life, it is only in line with morality to give back with life.
Lucy splattered blood and clenched her fists. I thought that my life could really be in danger if I overdo it, but I didn’t hesitate.
All the stars have disappeared in the sky over the island of Aken.
It was because the sky was no longer visible, covered in thousands of elemental magic circles that Lucy had created.
