00358 Trap (1) ——————————————— —————————=
I had no idea that they would find me, so I felt confused for a moment. It seemed like the same thing happened to the users around me, and I could see some people turning to look at me with a slight commotion.
“Merchantery Lord… ? Why did he suddenly… .”
“Here it is.”
I had already come to the front line. When I heard Lord Goryeo’s voice mumbling nearby, I immediately raised my hand and answered.
“hmm. You happened to be here. I think wandering probably refers to a vagabond… . “You don’t have to respond if you don’t want to.”
“I would like to respond.”
“Then, I understand. Don’t go into too much detail though. These guys are dangerous… .”
I nodded once or twice to Lord Goryeo’s advice. Finally, he directed his gaze towards the wizard standing next to him. Then, with a short spell, I could see that the voice amplification magic had been activated again.
(Are you a Mercenary Lord?)
It looks like we can be clearly seen from the castle walls. As soon as I came forward, a low, polite voice spoke to me.
(however.)
(At Mule, they left quite a bit of trouble behind. It was quite impressive.)
(I think you’re mistaken about the definition of troublemaking, wanderer.)
(…tsk.)
‘If you know what happened at Mule… . Did you hear the rumor? Or did it come through the warp gate?’
It was a statement that made me tilt my head, but I decided to put that thought aside for now.
(Okay. Then let me ask you one thing. There must have been some of my men tracking you down then… What happened to them now?)
(He died.)
(Not one person left? Everyone?)
The voice that asked back was still low and calm, but contained a subtle sense of anger.
I don’t know how much they know about that fact. But the important thing here is that there is no need to give detailed information about whether they were captured or publicly executed.
(Yes, everyone died.)
(that….)
The tramp’s voice stopped at the end of the word “he.” Judging from the slightly blurred tone of his voice, it seemed like he had more to say, but the voice was being heard by at least 30,000 people. If you ask for personal details, people around you will be concerned.
I don’t know why, but I thought maybe he wanted to ask about Baek Seo-yeon.
(…I see. I understand. I appreciate you answering my questions even though we are enemies.)
(Is the business finished?)
(Okay, it’s over. And I don’t know how to thank you for letting me know, but I’ll give you something nice.)
‘Good things?’
Not only his eyesight but also his other senses were already heightened. When I looked closely at the walls again, I could see a long pole erected between the walls. One thing that was unusual about it was that there was something round and blunt on the end of the stick.
“Be careful. Mercenary Road. Wizard! Stop using voice amplification magic… .”
It seems like Goryeo Road is saying something next to me, but I can’t hear it in detail. From now on, all my attention was focused on the stick. Initially standing upright, it slowly tilted until it became level, and then tilted even further downward. And the end was aimed squarely at me.
Eventually, the stick was tilted back as if it was getting ready to be thrown away.
(Merchantery Lord. It’s a gift for the trouble at that time. You guys will be happy to see it too. Hehe!)
Soon, with low energy, they began to fire with all their might.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Is it because I activated my senses? The sound of the stick being struck in a straight line towards me is particularly brutal. However, as I was already watching the action, I reflexively grabbed ‘Caligo Abraxas’. I don’t know what’s at stake in the end, but I have no intention of accepting it gently.
The initial distance was approximately four hundred meters. However, the stick was coming in at a very fast speed, shortening the distance in an instant. So much so that in the blink of an eye, it was just a stone’s throw away.
In this split-second, I roughly estimated the distance and slightly bent my knees. The intention was to cut it down with a sword strike as soon as the stick came into range.
It was then.
Flash!
For a moment, light flashed.
‘huh?’
It was literally a phenomenon where light appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
Murmur.
And the slight untidiness that follows.
If you had seen it with the naked eye, it might have been vague. But perhaps because I activated my eyesight, I could clearly see it in my field of vision. A single beam of light, emitting intense light, rushed forward and hit the end of the stick exactly.
okay. It was like a flash of light.
Phew!
As proof, the stick that was flying quickly exploded in the air, and dark red liquid, along with torn fragments, flew into the air. Apparently, what was hanging on the end of the stick was a part of the human body. Among them, it was most likely the head.
‘I don’t know whose head it is.’
Shaking off thoughts about the head, I switched my thoughts to the main character of the arrow. I had a rough guess, but I still turned my head to check. Then, not far away, she could see the figure of a woman who was familiar but felt unfamiliar.
Where has the gentle face and kind smile that he always showed gone? Im Hanna was glaring fiercely at her castle wall with her eyes raised high. In her left hand was ‘Brilliant Flash, Laura Phyllis’.
Ugh! Whoa!
It was a bow with no strings or arrows. However, soon another arrow emitting brilliant light was created, and a terrifying force began to flow out again. Im Hanna must have been quite angry, as the tip of the arrow was emitting a force as if it were splitting the earth.
“User Lim Hanna. Let’s stop… .”
Grow, growl.
I was about to order him to stop, thinking that one shot would be enough for now. At that time, the clouds suddenly collide and a noise like thunder echoes everywhere.
I quickly turned my head and looked at the castle wall. This time, on the contrary, bustling movement was seen on the castle walls.
‘This again… .’
And, before I could confirm the identity of the spell and tell it to stop.
Ta-da! Ta-da!
In the darkened sky, a huge bolt of lightning could be seen striking down in a zigzag pattern.
*
Squeak! bang!
“Shit!”
There was a huge explosion that made his ears ring, and Simon was startled and held his head with both hands. Eventually, as if smelling the acrid smoke with a stinging aftereffect, he wrinkled his nose and glanced to the side.

“Oh My God… .”
Although it was only a split second, a shield was clearly created just before the lightning struck. However, the defense shield was torn apart in an instant, and the lightning struck the castle wall without any chance.
As a result, there were several people lying around, groaning, and covered in black smoke.
As it is a large city, the size and thickness of the walls are indescribably thick and strong. However, there was a deep hole in the wall where the lightning struck, and black smoke was still flowing out.
Simon swallowed his saliva with a bewildered look on his face, but soon sighed in relief when there were no more attacks.
“phew.”
“sorry. I sincerely apologize for my arbitrary actions. Simon Grimes.”
At that time, Hyun, who was next to him, spoke to Simon. He too must have been unable to avoid the aftereffects of the lightning, and his face was covered in black soot.
“It doesn’t matter, wanderer. “I didn’t think the people outside the walls would readily accept the offer anyway.”
“Thank you for thinking that way.”
“They say that in order to be recognized as a wizard class in the Northern Continent, chanting and applying magic circuits are essential… . “Wow, was it real?”
“… … .”
“Anyway, about that… . Wanderer. “Do you have something to say to me?”
“What should I say?”
When Hyeon asked again with a puzzled look on his face, Simon nodded and shook his head.
“I just feel like things are a little strange right now.”
“What things are strange? “I wish you could tell me in detail.”
“In many ways. Surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be many people brought in… . Even though I told him that I did radish, blood, mouth, and sex, he didn’t seem to be very embarrassed. Anyway, we talked about this and that, but it seemed like he knew the situation well.”
“… … .”
“Wasn’t the original situation just the opposite? Rather, I believe you planted a spy inside them. ah. Field effects are not the reason. “It’s definitely been lifted now.”
The translation magic wasn’t perfect, so there were some awkward contexts, but it was enough for listening and understanding.
However, Hyun did not respond at all. She is just keeping quiet and exercising her right to remain silent.
“hmm. Maybe you don’t know because you came over from Mule a while ago… . Anyway, I understand. And please correct your arbitrary behavior from next time.”
“… i get it.”
Hyun answered with a sigh and took a heavy step.
When I suddenly turned my head and looked outside the castle walls, I could see that the eastern users had started to move slowly. Some remained as they were, but others were moving in different directions.
The moment he was about to walk slowly in step with the sight, a cold voice came from behind Hyeon.
“I’m not just talking about you, I’m talking about the whole bum. If this happens one more time… . “We will return through the warp gate immediately, even if it means giving up all plans.”
At that moment, Hyeon’s steps suddenly stopped.
*
Before we knew it, full night had fallen on the plains.
As soon as the East arrived in Barbara, it had its first clash with the West and the vagabonds.
In fact, it was a battle so minor that it would be embarrassing to call it a clash, but in any case, the end of the first battle could be predicted to be the eastern side’s superiority. Because while there was no damage to the eastern part, my brother’s ‘lightning strike’ definitely caused damage to the tramp.
Morale was higher in the East. If they had met each other on the plains, they might have made an all-out attack, but after that, the eastern side’s decision was to retreat.
Not only did it need to wait until the southern and northern sides recaptured the city, but it was also because forward bases had not yet been built to attack without a plan. Of course, the huge magic circle drawn around the city was one reason.
And currently, the eastern part was gradually making preparations for the invasion.
Each of the four units began moving to the location of the gate where they had been assigned, and the unit I belonged to also moved towards the west gate.
After moving into position, the unit immediately began constructing a forward base and resumed the work of interpreting the magic formation around the city.
Meanwhile, the leaders were not idle either.
“Our biggest weakness is that our units are spread out across four units. From the perspective of each unit, this means that its attack power and defense power are weakened. In particular, weakening defense is very dangerous. If they act crazy and focus their attacks on one unit… .”
“Obviously, it can put a strain on one side. However, the other side also has the advantage of being able to unleash its firepower as much as it wants.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better for the unit to focus only on defensive magic and retreat out of range if the situation is not favorable? And when it seems to calm down a bit, go back into range… .”
In the first command and control room erected, a heated discussion was currently taking place. In the past, there were a few people who reacted a bit indifferently, but today I don’t see a single person like that.
Perhaps because it was the first attack by wizards at dawn, everyone had a rather serious look on their faces. In fact, the firepower of wizards could be seen as an important key to winning or losing a war. And it wasn’t that I didn’t understand the excitement as I was having my first proper battle this morning.
It was then.
A messenger flew into the command and control room, where the heat did not seem to cool down even as time passed.
“News has arrived! “It is said that a wizard has just deciphered the magic circle drawn around the city!”
“huh? A magic circle that big so quickly? “What unit are you in?”
“This is the West Gate unit! And now you are waiting outside the control room.”
“So this is our unit? her… . “Let’s bring him here first.”
When Lord Goryeo spoke in a cheerful voice, the messenger immediately ran outside.
Soon, a woman walked into the control room. And the moment I saw her face, I let out a weak gasp.
An elegant yet smart look. Light blue eyes and hair.
The woman’s identity was none other than Jeong Ha-yeon.
Ha-yeon Jeong made eye contact with me for a moment and then smiled softly. She then opened her mouth, bowing politely to everyone.
“hello. “I am Jeong Ha-yeon, a Mercenary Clan member.”
“Ohh. If you are Mercenary clan member Jeong Ha-yeon… . I think I’ve heard the name at least somewhat. Is there a class… ?”
“Secret class. I am a mage of the blue moon. “It was a class related to ancient magic, so I was able to find out the identity of the magic group faster than I thought.”
“ah. Blue Moon Mage. She was clearly one of the team members who was prepared for the variables. That’s certainly what I heard. by the way… . He’s skilled in ancient magic… . It seems like things are going smoothly. haha.”
Although there was no noise or heat like before, the inside of the conference room was hot. In particular, some male users were secretly sending passionate gazes toward Jeong Ha-yeon. Her beauty has definitely shined even more since she got Secret Class.
Eventually, Lord Goryeo opened his mouth.
“hmm. User Jeong Ha-yeon. “Then, can you tell me what the identity of that magic jinn is?”
“yes. I’ll tell you right away. “The magic circle drawn around Barbara right now is called the Protective Magic Blocking Circle.”
“Guardian magic blocking gin?”
‘answer.’
I was the only one who knew about it in advance, but the other users all looked like they didn’t know what it meant, as if they were hearing it for the first time.
“Guardian magic blocking gin… . This is my first time hearing Jin like that. “Do you know the detailed effects of this jinn?”
If you didn’t know about Jeong Ha-yeon’s thorough and meticulous personality, you wouldn’t have come here.
“Of course. To put it simply… . When a djinn is activated, magical power exerted outside the djinn cannot have any effect on the inside of the djinn. In other words, you can think of it as a kind of large-scale anti-majority camp.”
“A large-scale anti-Hangma camp? No, what kind of fraud… .”
“It’s not a scam. Although it is certainly powerful in terms of its effect alone, that magic circle was not widely used even in the ancient Hall Plane. In fact, he soon became president. Because the protective magic blocking Jin has a fatal flaw.”
“If it’s a fatal flaw… .”
Jeong Ha-yeon answered someone’s question with a clear voice.
“yes. “If Jin blocks external magic, it freezes all internal magic.”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
sorry. I haven’t forgotten my promise to my readers this weekend to make up for it. So I decided today and sat down around 16:00, but in the end, 18K was the limit. As I see the end of Part 1, I continue to lose strength.
I am truly, truly sorry for not being able to keep my promise. _(__)_
I don’t know when my strength will come back, but for now, I will focus on recovering and maintaining my pace.
It’s so strange. I already have the idea and all I have to do is write it, so why does it take so much time? -_-a
P.S. The exploded head of the user is a member of the Golden Lion Clan. It’s also a fairly well-known user.
1. Do Yeong-rok
2. Seong Yu-bin
3. The former Golden Lion Clan Lord who is still unable to come to his senses after the Iron Mountains.
4. Park Hyeon-woo
