The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 73
whirlwind (2)
Visibility inside the canyon was poor due to the storm.
All that was visible was a high wall and a storm raging as if it were tearing at your skin.
I clicked my tongue briefly and spread my arms wide to look around.
Pot!
The feeling of energy spreading out wider than usual. However, the information coming in was limited. This was due to the magic power shaking the earth.
I felt regretful, but I also felt that my interest was piqued.
“There is indeed a reason why it is called the Forbidden Land.”
I caressed the tip of my chin as I recalled the events before my regression.
The Tabar Canyon was originally a major trade route connecting the northeastern part of the continent and Arendelle.
The terrain of the other routes was rough to begin with, and the distance was almost like a straight line, so it could almost be called the only route.
But a few decades ago, a huge typhoon suddenly appeared and blocked the Tabar Canyon.
It was a phenomenon that literally occurred suddenly.
‘Didn’t you say that the wizards of the continent rushed to find out the cause?’
Naturally, there was no way to find out the cause.
It was impossible for mere magicians to penetrate this place, which even archmages refused to enter.
Eventually, Arendelle decided to declare Tavar Canyon a forbidden area and restrict the entry of the general public. That was the best option.
After many years, when the identity of the storm was finally revealed, it was only after a ‘disaster’ had struck that caused much damage.
“Well, leaving that part aside.”
In any case, now is the time to be concerned about the storm blocking our path.
I put the temporary servant horse that Matapju had handed me into my arms and pulled up the auror.
Then, I felt a little relieved from the effects of the storm of magical power that had been raging against me.
… … Not bad.
It was absolutely perfect, except that the aura dormant in his body was being consumed at an unprecedented rate.
I kicked the ground with that thought.
fault-!
Swoosh-
In that moment, a storm of magical power and the walls of the canyon blocking both sides stretched out in a blur, blurring the view for a long time.
It was a speed that was familiar to me, so fast that I couldn’t see my surroundings very well.
But as I continued to kick the ground, my head was filled with a feeling of surprise.
‘… … That’s incredible.’
This is a space where the influence of magical power becomes stronger the closer you get to the center.
As the story of the top of the mountain was about a phenomenon that unfolded around a specific factor, moving forward meant getting closer to that ‘factor.’
So, in preparation for this, I raised an aura, but as I continued forward, the amount of aura consumed increased at a shocking rate.
Even though I didn’t roll my feet a few times, it was now almost like pouring water into a bottomless pit.
“Tsk, can’t help it.”
It’s better than staying like this and not getting anywhere.
I clicked my tongue and withdrew the aura that had spread around my body. Then I focused my energy on the stone I had placed in my bosom.
Then… … .
Wheeeeeeing!
A fierce storm of magical power pierced through the disappeared protective shield and cut through my entire body like a blade.
The splendid uniform was torn here and there, and a faint red liquid began to seep out over it.
One eyebrow slightly raised as she looked at the fluttering hem of the clothes.
“I guess I’ll get a scolding from the Baron.”
It was actually surprising, but not an unexpected power.
Haven’t I already experienced the coming ‘disaster’ once?
Rather, if it wasn’t to this extent, I wouldn’t have been satisfied.
However, since I knew that if I delayed any longer I wouldn’t get what I wanted, I just hastened my steps.
Wheeing!
Tadak, tad-!
How long did he run through those blades that were gradually becoming sharper?
So, around the time when all the black uniforms were dyed red.
Finally, at the end of the road, I was able to find what I had been longing for.
“… … Is that it?”
A wall of magical power formed into a dome shape. And the final storm surrounding it.
I couldn’t see even an inch ahead of me inside, but I knew it just by my subconscious feeling.
Inside of me is the reason I came here and the cause of the strange phenomenon that occurred in Tabar Canyon.
“It’s incredible magic, just like I heard.”
Didn’t you say that wizards have separate scientific names?
Well, I don’t care about the formal name. If it serves as a nutrient for my revenge, then that’s all I need.
I stopped walking and smiled.
‘Sylphide’s flower.’
What was inside was like a legend, named as such because it was said to grow in the wind.
Actually, there was a reason why it was named that way.
After all, what that flower needed to grow was not water or sunlight, but the element of wind that lingered in the atmosphere.
It was easy to understand if you think about the medium we had previously seen in the warlock’s hideout.
But the energy was definitely different.

If what remained in the hiding place was an artificially created negative emotion, this was a lump of magical power born after absorbing the mana in the air for hundreds of years.
A gigantic natural entity that grew uncontrollably and began to radiate its power to its surroundings.
The storm that was rampant in the canyon was flowing out from it.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
The process of creation also had to depend on chance.
Originally, it was a magical power that should have dispersed before it could even release its power. However, due to a certain factor, the magical power that was held to the ground was burning itself until its power was exhausted.
So in the future to come, everything around it will be taken away like a star disappearing.
I stroked the tattoo on my right arm that was visible through the torn hem of my clothes.
“… … How much could I grow if I swallowed that magic power?”
The magic seal responded with a rapid movement of mana. It seemed like it was already feeling hungry.
I was like that too.
A mysterious south wind that temporarily blows through Arendelle.
That was a phenomenon that occurred when the energy generated from this flower became excessively concentrated.
Once a year. Also, something that happened just recently.
In other words, right now is the time when the flower’s wind power is at its strongest.
‘I guess that means I arrived at the most opportune time.’
And that wasn’t the end of it.
Didn’t you already experience a rapid increase in the rate of assimilation during the process of reviving the Magic Tower? If you absorb all of this magic power during that time, you will not only pass the second critical point of the magic seal, but you will also gain even more powerful power.
As expected by the Matapju. A fragment of the great power called the Pure Element… … .
That was the moment.
Ss …
A faint noise began to be heard through the storm. And then, as if on guard against me, the noise hid itself and circled around me.
The border contained obvious hostility.
“Five people… … No, five.”
Krrrrrr-
“Well, I don’t think they’ll give it up that easily.”
I raised the corners of my mouth as I stroked my right arm over my coat.
Soon, where my eyes were focused, passengers entranced by the scent of flowers appeared. They were gray wolves boasting large bodies and fangs.
However, the energy felt within it was different from that of normal wolves.
“I have been absorbing the power of the wind here for a long time.”
Krrrrrr-
They began to make low whining sounds as if responding to my words.
It seemed that he possessed a subtle magical power and had instinctively learned how to manipulate energy.
Like the ogre that troubled the Knights of the Sun in the Plains of Galderd.
‘Of course, the one who received the powerful magic power looks stronger… … .’
Well, either way, it turned out well.
I was feeling thirsty because I hadn’t been in a proper battle since my return, so I couldn’t help but be happy that the passengers were welcoming me at this time.
That too, because he was definitely the one who would entertain me more than anyone I’d ever met before.
“Let’s have a go.”
Sling-
I pulled out Elvern and relaxed my body. That was the signal.
Five wolves, who had been wary of my actions, rushed at me quickly. Like the wind, it was at a speed that would have been difficult to detect with the naked eye if it had not been for the senses.
… … Yeah, that would be fun.
First, the day of Elvern cut down the leading wolf.
Swoosh-
But surprisingly, the turquoise sword was unable to cut down the wolf, and only cut through the air.
It’s not that the sword attack failed to hit, but the wolf’s body passed through the sword as if nothing had happened, nullifying the attack.
It was as if their space had been cut off from each other, but it was not an attack that was carried out.
Khuung-!
The teeth and murderous intent of the wolf at the forefront were not an illusion. It seemed unlikely that anything would happen without incident, as it had just dodged the attack.
Unfortunately, there were five of them rushing at me, so instead of dodging, I extended my left arm to block their attacks.
Crunch-!
And the moment the wolf’s fangs were embedded in my left arm, I twisted my body to avoid the wolf’s next attack and swung my sword towards my left arm.
This time it wasn’t an ordinary sword fight.
It was an attack with such a massive aura that it created a red trail in the air. Then, this time, the wolf’s body split apart and flew into the air.
but…….
“… … Hoo.”
The wolf’s body, which had been scattered into the air, began to regenerate. As if in a typhoon, its shape was being restored in the swirling wind.
My eyes opened in surprise.
‘Is this really the power of the wind that was absorbed?’
Even without a magic seal, it was possible to absorb elemental power.
Even for humans to survive, they had to borrow elements from nature, and even plants could not survive without that power.
However, that appearance was no different from a mutant exposed to powerful magic. In fact, it would be difficult to even call it a living being.
‘The first attack wasn’t just a passing attack.’
It was cut and then reattached. That would be the correct way to explain it.
However, I didn’t have time to think like that. I stepped back and counterattacked the combined attack of the wolves that had returned.
Paat-!
Swish-!
Passs …
But it was the same with wolves that should have died being resurrected.
For these guys, there was no such thing as death, they just created shapes in the wind. Of course, it wasn’t without gains.
‘Those who touch Aura recover slowly.’
As if to prove this, the wolf that disappeared after being caught in the sword attack immediately recovered its form, and those that were hit by the aura only reappeared after a sufficient amount of time, as if they were drawing in the surrounding wind.
In other words, the stronger the destructive power, the more difficult it is to revive.
So the story was simple.
