Chapter 30. Hunting a cornered rat. (8)
Huh!
Leah did not relax her arms until the end and swung Aria with all her might.
“Sigh!”
Sienna, sensing danger, hurriedly retreated back.
Crispy!
The mana shield was completely cut in half. The cut surface turned into ice particles and shattered brilliantly.
Saaaa-
It becomes a fleeting snowflake and falls to the ground,
“… … Ha, indeed.”
Sienna looked at me in astonishment.
“You broke the mana shield… … . “I understand why it’s called a legendary sword.”
Sienna’s eyes sparkled with interest.
“Cain once talked about Aria.”
Leah stopped singing Aria and looked at Sienna. Her face was completely expressionless, as if her emotions had been cut out.
“What do you want to say?”
The voice that came out was also chilling.
“aha.”
Sienna, who noticed Leah’s hostility, laughed bitterly.
“It looks like Arya’s master has no intention of coming over to us.”
“It’s ‘our’ side… … .”
Leah twirled the hand holding Aria.
“If you mean Cain Ardante’s camp.”
Sigh-
Leah’s eyes flashed as she prepared to attack again.
“never.”
Tadat!
As soon as Leah finished speaking, she rushed towards Sienna.
“aha. Is that so?”
Sienna immediately put her hands together, as if she knew that would happen. She noticed that Leah was rushing towards her without acknowledging her.
“Then I have no choice but to take you by force!”
Pabababak!
The mana spheres created from Sienna’s hands were shot indiscriminately towards Leah and me.
“Because you don’t have to lose at least one limb!”
A vicious smile appeared at the corner of Sienna’s mouth. It was full of joy that it didn’t matter what her partner was.
Unlike Leah, who holds Aria, I calculated that I, an ‘ordinary’ swordsman, would not be able to respond to magic attacks.
“I heard that’s true?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Leah,
“Tsk!”
Leah turned and ran in front of me as if to protect me.
and,
Suddenly!
I cut down the mana sphere flying at me with Aria.
Clang!
The mana sphere that was cut by Aria turned into ice and crashed down.
“Huh?!”
Sienna increased the number of spheres she was sending out, but she could not stop Leah.
Crash!
Leah ran towards Sienna again. Cutting down all the mana spheres blocking my path.
SGENG!
Retract your arm inward and cut once,
SGENG!
Swinging outward, he cut down the next sphere. He had inhuman vision and reflexes.
In the end, Leah’s speed only increased.
“Haaa!”
The moment Leah finally approached Sienna,
“this!”
Sienna exploded her mana all at once. But before you get caught there,
Boom!
Leah leapt on the ice sculpture she had just created.
“!?”
Sienna’s eyes foolishly followed the trace. Without even thinking to stretch out her hand and grab her Leah.
Her reflexes couldn’t even keep up with Leah’s toes.
Flutter!
Leah cut off the cord of Mana that bound Saint Rachel without any restrictions.
“–!”
The moment Rachel, who was floating in the air, was about to fall,
“excuse.”

My hand quickly grabbed Rachel’s waist. While Sienna was preoccupied with Leah, he caught her in the loop.
“Uh, when!?”
Sienna was shocked when she saw me grabbing Rachel and jumping.
“—!”
Rachel’s mouth, covered in mana, moved to say something. It seemed like she was protesting that she was holding it like this again.
“yes yes. Holy woman. All right.”
After answering indifferently, I looked back at Sienna.
“What should I do with this?”
He lifted Rachel up and smiled.
“If I keep going like this, I won’t be able to save face, right?”
To Cain.
Even though I omitted the afterword, Sienna fully understood what I meant.
“-!”
A fierce fire burned in Sienna’s eyes.
“catch!”
Sienna sent Mana’s whip flying. Unlike before, she didn’t have any desire to live, her intention was simply to catch me.
‘It would be wrong for a saint to be harmed.’
Sienna, who didn’t know Rachel’s identity, had no choice but to do that. It was good news for me now.
“What?”
All I had to do was leisurely escape the mana vortex.
“Is this best?”
I ran freely around the wide space and toyed with Sienna to my heart’s content.
And that movement was largely intended to prevent Sienna from focusing on any one thing.
“… … .”
Leah read my gaze and nodded quietly.
“That bastard!”
Meanwhile, Sienna lost track of me every time and started swearing.
Shuuk-
The whip of mana that Sienna wielded increased. No, she tried to stretch it.
Yep!
The tip of the whip could not reach me and I froze.
“Where are you looking?”
Leah stopped in front of him and muttered coldly.
“Your opponent is me.”
“Get away from me!”
Sienna was so angry that the tips of her hair stood on end. She sharpened the tip of Mana’s whip and swung it at Leah.
Yep! Yep!
Leah responded calmly with a completely unfazed face. He struck the blade-like tip of the whip at Aria, freezing it and breaking it again.
The figure looked as indifferent as the Queen of Winter. But I could feel it.
‘I’m so angry.’
Leah was just as angry as Sienna.
“Did they slaughter innocent people like that?”
Leah’s voice was sharper than Sienna’s blade.
“Cain, who ordered that, and you, who followed it. “They are both incompatible families.”
“Shut up!”
Sienna got angry and waved her arms.
“How dare you!”
You insult Cain.
The rest of Sienna’s unspoken words could be heard vividly. At the same time,
Bababababaak!
Mana blades were fired, split into countless pieces.
Instead of avoiding this attack, Leah
“Ha!”
I responded by crossing the aria and drawing out its power.
Let’s go!
A thin wall of ice rose in front of Leah.
pop! Pubububung!
The mana blade collided with the ice wall, and ice fog burst out.
“Ugh!”
The moment Sienna reflexively raised her arm and covered her eyes,
Wedge!
Leah burst out through the ice fog.
“Stop giving up, wizard!”
The tip of Aria’s sword was aimed at Sienna. Almost before cutting down Sienna,
“Foot.”
Sienna suddenly sneered.
“?!”
For a moment, Leah was taken aback by the sudden change in attitude.
Pow!
The bar of mana surged up and struck Leah’s wrist.
“Ugh!”
And then Leah, who had missed Aria, was locked in the bars.
After Sienna installed the Mana Prison, she intentionally created a loophole.
“If a swordsman wants to deal with a wizard, he has no choice but to get closer!”
Sienna laughed out loud. She then turned her body to find me holding her saint.
“This isn’t fun anymore. “I need to finish this.”
Her eyes, which were looking at me and the saint, shone cruelly.
“You two, let’s go.”
Sienna raised her hand and tried to move Mana.
“Of course, Abel, you will go away dead.”
“Oh yeah?”
I smiled as I saw her enjoying the comfort of a winner.
“But didn’t you leave out anyone?”
The smile disappeared from Sienna’s lips at my leisurely response.
“what… … .”
Faaah!
The tan mana that burst out from behind her back bound Sienna’s wrists.
“Siena.”
The stern voice of the person who had been quiet until now flew in together.
“-?!”
Sienna checked behind her.
Midnell stood there, his mana shaking wildly, and his anger clearly visible even through his closed eyes.
“Stop it now.”
Midnell’s voice was low, but it contained a strong power that made those who heard it shudder.
“… … “Master.”
Sienna looked at Midnell with a white face,
“haha.”
I saw Ekarot standing behind him. Ekarot’s face was covered in cold sweat.
Shrug- Shrug-
The mana extending from the tips of his ten fingers was connected to Midnell’s body.
He found Siena’s spiderweb-like mana, cut it out one by one, and blocked it from automatically regenerating.
In the short time that Leah and I gave her, Ekarot was highly focused and succeeded in destroying Sienna’s magic.
‘As expected, Ekarot.’
It has been said that creation and destruction are polar opposites, so they are intertwined.
Ekarot’s talent for creation magic ultimately led to the destruction of other people’s magic.
“Whoa… … .”
Ekarot wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even the guy had a tired look on his face, as if this task had taken a toll on him.
That’s right, the puppet magic cast by Sienna feeds on Midnell’s magic. In other words, Ekarot had to fight against the powerful mana of the magic tower lord Midnell.
“how… … .”
More than Midnell’s anger that Siena faced head-on,
“How, that?”
He seemed even more shocked that Ekarot had broken the magic I had carefully prepared. And Ekarot,
“Sounds easy?”
I broke Sienna’s spirit by leisurely shrugging her shoulders.
‘I learned it well.’
It seems like that guy is watching my actions and imitating them.
“Ugh, ugh, ahhh!”
Sienna screamed and fell to the floor.
Everything she had worked so hard to prepare failed.
The magic that was the masterpiece of a lifetime, the attempt to dominate other wizards, and the opportunity to become the only wizard in the empire.
“Ahh! Argh!”
Sienna cried as if her whole world had collapsed. Her nervous screams were filled with extreme shame and humiliation.
Midnel, Ekarot, me, Rachel, and Leah looked at that with indifferent faces. Oh, I forgot one person.
“… … .”
Emperor Theodore is also floating in the air, tightly bound by Siena’s mana.
“Lord Magic Tower.”
I ignored his piercing gaze and walked towards Sienna. Midnell, who was looking at Sienna, turned his head and looked at me.
“Abel Kindreal.”
“You don’t think this is the end, do you?”
Midnell’s expression became even darker.
“Of course I know. Responsibility for this incident… … .”
“Of course you have to take responsibility. But that’s not what I’m talking about now.”
If it were me in the past, it would have been rude to Midnell. However, now Midnell had no choice but to give in to me.
“Then what…” … ?”
Instead of showing his displeasure at my attitude, he stared at me silently.
“It’s not enough right now.”
I grinned and took something out of my pocket.
“that… … ?”
Midnell looked at my hand and raised his eyebrows. I reach out my hand straight ahead,
Crash.
A bracelet was fastened to Sienna’s wrist.
“?!”
Sienna lifted her head and looked at her arm.
“… … for a moment. This, this.”
“Oh, did you notice?”
I looked into Sienna’s eyes, which were shaking as if there was an earthquake, and smiled.
“It’s exactly what you think.”
The bracelet on Sienna’s wrist began to glow softly. The navy blue mana that arose from her Sienna skin was sucked into it.
“Oh, no!”
Sienna grabbed the bracelet and tried to take it off, but it didn’t budge as if it had been glued on.
“No, no, no!”
Midnell’s face was miserable as he looked at the screaming Sienna.
“Ekarot.”
He opened his mouth quietly.
“Yes, Master.”
“Did you make this restraint?”
“yes.”
Midnell was silent for a moment in response to Ekarot’s grave answer. The most terrible and cruel tool created by wizards to subdue fellow wizards.
“I hate it! no! “Ahh!”
Sienna struggled and raised her head. Her pitiful face, covered with tears, turned to Midnell.
“Master, please! You know! “I am, I am!”
“… … .”
“I don’t like this, I don’t like this! please please… … .”
Midnell’s fingers trembled. However, his mana did not move to release Sienna’s mana restraint.
“… … .”
Midnell turned his back on Sienna. He literally turned away from her until all of Siena’s mana was absorbed into her.
“Master, Master… … !”
Sienna’s crying subsided.
Pot!
Finally, the light went out from the bracelet that had absorbed all of her mana.
That moment,
Yep!
The prison of Mana that imprisoned Leah disappears,
Sreuk-
The mana that bound Emperor Theodore and Saint Rachel disappeared. Sienna’s magic was completely lifted.
thud!
“–!”
The screams of Emperor Theodore, who had crashed to the ground, were heard from behind.
“Acha.”
I looked back and lightly touched my forehead as if I had forgotten.
“I forgot your majesty.”
