Chapter 30. Hunting a cornered rat. (3)
Pot!
Midnell’s appearance returned to its original state. As if nothing had happened.
But all the wizards saw.
“That’s crazy… … .”
“What did you do to Midnell?”
The spider web-like mana that floated above Midnell’s body gradually faded, eventually sinking into the body and disappearing.
It was proof that Sienna’s magic still resided in Midnell’s body.
“Isn’t that puppet magic? “If you look at the shape, it’s exactly that!”
“It’s not magic that’s been around for a day or two. “It’s been a while.”
“Looking at the persistence and remaining magic power, it seems to have been maintained for the past few days… … .”
As soon as the wizards’ clever minds saw that magic, they quickly understood how the situation had come to this.
“… … .”
The wizards’ faces slowly turned towards Sienna. The once gentle face suddenly became cold.
“Siena.”
“It was you.”
The wizards’ mouths moved one after another.
“You were the cause of this situation.”
“You controlled Master Midnell and drove out the wizards.”
“Why did you do that? “Why did you do this?”
Disappointment and betrayal were evident in their voices. Some even shouted in rage.
“What are you doing to Midnell!”
“Release me immediately!”
Sienna did not avoid the arrows of criticism pouring at her, but simply faced them in silence.
“… … .”
Those wizards were no real threat to her.
Shouting at the top of your lungs within Ekarot’s protective magic. An action that can only be done in safe situations.
If his life was threatened, if he asserted stronger authority, he would quickly turn around and become quiet.
“… … “Huh.”
The thing that was threatening Sienna the most right now was a small, young boy.
Just standing there calmly, as if he was more harmless than anyone else and as if he had no grudges.
“… … .”
Ekarot’s golden gaze held Sienna in place. The pressure of mana emanating from his entire body oppressed Sienna from above.
“Tsk… … .”
At this moment, Sienna was truly afraid of him.
It was a feeling I had never felt since I found out I was a wizard.
‘why me!’
She, who was not even afraid of Midnell, now felt like a small candle in front of the sun.
“How did you know… … .”
“From the beginning.”
As if Ekarot knew what Sienna was going to ask, she answered without even listening to the end.
“Master was prepared from the beginning. “He just wanted to trust you until the end, Siena.”
Sienna’s eyes waved wildly.
“Siena, it’s not too late.”
Ekarot quietly looked at the ripples in her eyes.
“If I were to destroy it forcibly, it would put a strain on Midnell’s body. So, I want you to unlock it yourself.”
“… … .”
“And let’s do our best to make up for the past. Midnell will help you too.”
Ekarot frowned slightly. With a feeling of sorry towards someone who is not here.
“‘Brother’ said it wasn’t necessary, but… … . “I want to give you a chance.”
“… … .”
“An opportunity to make amends for past mistakes.”
Ekarot’s eyes deepened, as if tracing the past.
“Just like my brother did for me.”
Sienna felt her breathing becoming heavier, as if she was climbing a high mountain at full speed.
“Huh, huh.”
It was because of Ekarot in front of me. As if he were the judge, he said he would mercifully give ‘opportunities’.
No one could look down on themselves like this. No one!
My whole body felt like it was burning with humiliation and shame. Mana also waved wildly following her emotions.
“Ekarot.”
Sienna realized. When your feelings of anger reach their peak, you actually become extremely calm.
“thank you.”
Sienna gritted her teeth and let out a low, sultry voice.
“Phew… … . thank god.”
“Good idea, Sienna.”
The wizards sighed.
They thought Sienna would lift Midnell’s magic and offer an apology.
Ekarot was different.

“-!”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Sienna. As if he sensed some danger.
“Thanks to you, my thoughts have become firmer.”
A white smile spread across Sienna’s lips.
“After all, it’s better without the Wizard’s Tower.”
The moment she finished speaking,
Whoops!
A huge wave of mana hit everyone in the room.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
The wizards reflexively covered their eyes. Then, realizing that Ekarot’s shield was still intact, he lowered his arm.
“ha.”
Ekarot created an additional layer of mana shield, completely protecting not only himself but also other wizards.
“What you said was right… … .”
The corners of his frowning eyes turned to Sienna and then to Midnell, who stood in front of him.
Paaaat!
Midnell’s yellow-brown mana gushes out, creating a ring,
Faaah! Faaah!
I made two or three rings. This was repeated, creating dozens of rings.
Whoosh whoosh!
They quickly revolved around Siena and Midnell.
“Whoa, whoo.”
Sienna’s face was drenched in cold sweat.
Moving Midnell’s mana was much more difficult than controlling Midnell’s body.
‘But it’s still worth it.’
Midnell’s mana is like a lake, and it doesn’t dry up even if you scoop it out. That fact gave Sienna comfort.
Faaah! Faaah! Faaah!
Sienna constantly pumped out his mana and made rings again and again.
“As of today, the Wizard’s Tower will be erased from the map.”
To blow up everything here. Buildings and people. Everyone who knows their mistakes.
“And I will become the only wizard in the empire.”
The wizards who realized her intention stamped their feet.
“Oh my god, I think they’re planning to destroy the whole place!”
“You can’t stop that! “It’s Midnell’s mana itself!”
“How to! I have to do something… … .”
While they were talking, they suddenly realized something.
Ekarot was so calm and staring at Sienna without moving a muscle.
“Siena.”
Ekarot smiled and stretched out his finger.
“If you have eyes, look.”
Sienna reflexively looked at the tips of his fingers.
“Why did Midnell… … ?”
Before I knew it, Sienna’s mana web was revealed over Midnell’s body.
which,
Patter.
It was breaking off one by one, making a pitiful sound.
‘no way!’
Sienna’s mouth opened wide.
The magic missile that Ekarot threw earlier did not just reveal Sienna’s magic.
Struggle, thud.
The magic missile cut off a single strand of the strong spider web made of Midnell’s mana.
And now that Sienna is drawing on Midnell’s mana,
Thud, thud.
The spider web could not maintain its shape and began to break without any help.
“Oh, no!”
The moment Sienna realized my mistake,
Perfect!
Ekarot snapped his fingers.
Taang!
Golden mana bullets shot out from his fingertips.
Boom!
It passes through one mana ring,
Boom!
While passing through another mana ring,
Boom!
It doesn’t slow down at all,
Boom!
It didn’t decrease at all.
Toad doo doo doo!
And in the end, it flew towards Midnell, destroying the mana rings in succession.
“Ekaroteuu!”
Sienna let out a sharp scream.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Midnell’s mana ring broke and an enormous mana wave shook the space.
“Ugh!”
“Save people!”
Each wizard crouched down, forming a mana shield. Or he hid inside someone else’s shield and closed his eyes tightly.
Coogugung-
After a while, the shock that shook the entire space subsided.
widely.
Ekarot appeared through the hazy dust cloud that obscured the view. As he waved his hand, the air moved and settled the cloud of dust.
Saaa-
The sphere that protected the wizards also turned into golden particles and disappeared.
“Midnell’s room… … .”
“It’s the second largest place in the Wizard’s Tower… … .”
The wizards on the ground sighed.
Midnell’s room was completely destroyed and it was difficult to recall its former appearance. In particular, the spot where Sienna and Midnell were was deeply dug out, as if a giant had struck it with his fist.
“Siena?”
“What about Midnell?”
“No way… … “No, probably not.”
The wizards muttered and looked around. To find two invisible people.
Tap, tap.
Ekarot approached where Sienna was. He scanned the mana around him with his hand and sighed.
“It ran away.”
While the wizards were relieved, they were also overcome with another worry.
“Has Midnell’s magic been broken?”
“Last time I saw you, no.”
Ekarot responded calmly and turned around.
“-!”
Some wizards who made eye contact with him flinched.
Pap-duk!
A golden rope appeared from thin air and wrapped around their bodies.
“town! Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
They were unable to respond and were caught helpless.
“You willingly followed Master Midnell’s, or rather Sienna’s, orders without a single doubt.”
Ekarot’s cold gaze swept over them. The rest of the wizards also cast disdainful glances at them.
“When Midnell returns, he will decide on your disposition.”
Ekarot’s words were short, but by no means light. He had the same weight as the declaration of a magic tower lord.
“Ekarot, what are you going to do now?”
“Where did Sienna go?”
“I guess I’ll have to go after it… … .”
Instead of answering the wizards, Ekarot turned his head and looked out the window.
“I know where it might have gone.”
His golden eyes sparkled deeply.
* * *
Quang!
A large hole was opened in the historic and beautiful wall of the imperial palace.
Kugugugung-
Broken bricks and debris rained down.
“Ugh! “Run away!”
“It’s a wizard! “A wizard has appeared!”
The helpless servants and maids ran away screaming.
“Everyone, be prepared!”
“There are only two opponents!”
The knights holding spears, shields, and swords shouted at the top of their voices.
“under.”
Sienna sneered at that sight. She then stretched out her hand again and sent her mana bullet flying.
bang! bang!
The knights’ fight was meaningless in the face of fast and large bullets.
“Ahh!”
“Ugh… … !”
The knights ended their lives crawling on the ground with half of their bodies missing, unable to even scream.
Bruises, bruises.
Sienna crossed the corridors of the imperial palace lined with corpses. Next to her was Midnell, who was under the puppet spell.
The magic she had prepared with great care was not so easily broken. As long as Midnell’s mana remains, it will be regenerated and maintained.
‘Because the part that was cut off was reconnected… … . So, it’s okay.’
Her complexion became somewhat pale due to continued use of mana. Sienna bit her lip to gather her scattered spirit.
‘You just have to hold on a little longer.’
The plan was to find the saint, kidnap her, and then go to Cain.
Then, you can control the saint and tell her an oracle that the Impero royal family’s fortunes have run out and that a new emperor will emerge from the Ardante family.
If even Midnell, who is a symbol of a wizard, follows Cain, the people of the empire will have no choice but to follow him.
‘You foolish emperor!’
Sienna killed anyone who got in her way.
Using magic, he exploded his head, ripped out his chest, and pierced his stomach. It was both an outlet for anger and an example for others.
‘If I had just surrendered right away, I wouldn’t have to go through this trouble.’
It was all because of him that this beautiful and splendid imperial palace was stained with blood. He is paying the penalty for daring to ignore the great wizard’s orders.
‘It would be nice to see the emperor’s face while I’m here… … .’
At the same time, I wanted to issue a warning.
But there was not enough time. Ekarot will soon find you and track you down.
“Ugh it’s frustrating!”
When I thought back to the moment earlier, I felt irritated. Sienna frowned and waved her arms.
Kagak!
Mana stretched out along the arm’s path and split the pillar.
Kurr-thud!
A pillar cut in half collapsed helplessly. Beyond that, I could see knights gathered tightly together.
“Everyone stay in formation!”
“Don’t be shaken!”
As if they had known that Sienna would come, the Imperial Palace Knights were fully prepared to greet her.
“aha.”
Sienna smiled broadly.
“It’s here.”
The place where the saint is hiding.
