00079 <-- Episode 79 Descendants of Rusclán (5) -->
————————————————– ———————-=
In one bound, Seong Si-han jumped over a distance of ten meters. He smiled as he closed the distance between himself and the monster.
‘Ah, it’s comfortable.’
When writing the King’s Chronicles, you have to move your feet nonstop.
‘They say that when dealing with big guys, a spear is the best, right?’
In one breath, he approached right in front of the monster’s body. The startled monster swung its tentacles all at once.
Wheeeeeek!
Dozens of tentacles struck like whips, making a cracking sound. However, Shihan was not flustered. Now that he had changed to a blasting machine, there were plenty of ways to deal with the monsters’ multiple attacks.
‘There’s no need to deal with it like a bluff.’
Shihan stretched out his left hand toward the flying tentacles and recited a spell softly.
“Lightning Web.”
A net of electricity covered the tentacles. The flying tentacles were all shocked and stopped in place. They were momentarily paralyzed.
In the gap, Shihan quickly dug into the tentacles. The monster turned its head in confusion at the unexpected attack.
The flesh split apart and the monster’s mouth opened wide. Thick liquid poured out toward the time, smoking.
Kwaaaaah!
It was a poison attack that brought down Higher Gephelos. It was a very wide-ranging attack, so it was difficult to dodge and even more difficult to block. It would be like cutting water with a sword.
But the deadline was nothing, so he snapped his fingers.
“Aqua Control.”
The venom of the monster that was pouring down split in all directions in the air. Shihan laughed as he jumped into the scattering water stream.
“Whether it’s venom or whatever, it’s still a liquid, after all.”
The magic Shihan used now is not a very high-level magic. The spell that controls liquids is at best a 4th-floor ivory tower magic, and the lightning net that he used just a moment ago is also only a 3rd-floor magic.
However, the main attack methods of the monster, tentacles and venom, were easily neutralized.
This is the reason why the former other-worldly savior was able to reign as the natural enemy of other-worldly monsters.
In fact, the magic of Terranore itself is by no means weak.
Although the otherworldly monsters are powerful, the ancient dragons of Terranor, hundreds of years old, are still a threat that can easily be compared to them. And the four great ivory towers possess powerful magic that can even defeat such ancient dragons.
Like the ‘Dragon Catcher Trap’ used to pressure the Zexen Guard.
The reason why the monsters of Rusclan are so feared is because they are impervious to the magic of Terranore itself.
In other words, as long as magic works, the difficulty of dealing with otherworldly monsters drops drastically.
‘Okay, let’s finish this quickly!’
Nervously, Shihan stabbed his sword into the monster’s side.
It’s not hard to deal with, but it’s not a situation where you can take it easy. The time you can stay in your blind spot is limited. You have to finish it off in one blow if possible.
Shihan used his throwing technique while extending his sword.
“The wave of destruction, the echo!”
A magnificent wave spread through the blade, pushing the monster’s flabby flesh in all directions. A deep puddle instantly formed in the monster’s side.
He swings his sword repeatedly and shows off his spirit.
“Ta-at!”
A portion of flesh was cut in the shape of a cross. It was a deep wound, enough to fit almost half the blade, but compared to the monster’s gigantic body, it was nothing more than a wound to the skin.
The deadline was impressive.
‘Isn’t the knife going in anymore?’
The body of this otherworldly monster summoned by Duran is similar to that of a snail. It is soft, elastic, and slimy. It is not difficult for even a single soldier to cut through its skin, but it is difficult for even a swordsman to stab deep into it.
The soft elasticity itself acts like a kind of bulletproof vest.
So he cast his spell again.
“frieze!”
The cold of magic flowed through the monster’s flesh. If it was soft, all that mattered was making it hard.
Saaaaah!
The pure white frost spread and the surface of the monster’s flesh froze hard. It was only a temporary state of freezing that would not last long, but it was enough.
“Ugh!”
The longsword of the timer dug deep into the hardened flesh of the monster all the way to the hilt. At the same time, the ‘dragon-slashing energy’ was shaken off through the blade.
“Dragon Saber, Octagonal!”
From the sword that had dug in, the huge blades of the sword slashed in all directions. As if a cake had been cut into eight pieces, the body of the giant monster, which was twenty meters long, was cut into several-meter pieces.
But from the outside, it was completely invisible. It was something that happened internally.
“Krrrrrr!”
The otherworldly creature convulsed with a groan. As it struck that fatal blow, Shihan raised his hand above his head.
And then he fired his arrow. A faint haze streaked across the night sky.
Pfft!
On the surface, it may have seemed like just a missed attack, but it was a signal.
A signal to her, who is waiting somewhere in hiding on the other side of the night street.
‘Now, Alita!’
***
Alita calmly extended her right hand forward.
For this moment, I continued to gather my magical power and control my spells.
You only get one chance, so you can never fail.
“Burning radiance, Arcane Blast!”
The entire body’s magical power is consumed at once and becomes a giant pillar of light. A pure white light bead is shot towards the dying otherworldly monster.
Alita broke out in a cold sweat as she controlled her magic.
‘You have to hit it exactly. You absolutely cannot hit the monster.’
Her real target is not that otherworldly monster. She must aim for the road directly underneath the monster’s body.

Within moments, an arcane blast struck the ground.
Kwaaaaang!
A powerful explosion and flashes of light spread in all directions. The Magi and Lument of the Black Ivory Tower, who were watching from afar, covered their eyes in confusion.
“Ugh!”
“What the heck is this?”
Suddenly, an excessive amount of light poured into his field of vision, which had been accustomed to the darkness for a long time, and his vision was momentarily paralyzed. Magian Harlan muttered while covering his eyes.
“Where did such a powerful magician come from?”
Of course, Seong Si-han, who had prepared in advance, had no problem. He opened his eyes slightly and felt inwardly delighted.
‘Well done, Alita!’
Her Arcane Blast isn’t intended for destruction. It’s intended for the side effects that come with the explosion. However, if the Arcane Blaster hits a monster directly, the magic itself is nullified at that moment.
‘Your magic control has increased a lot.’
Sung Si-han, inwardly praising, immediately jumped into the air and approached Duran, who was standing on top of the monster’s head.
“Ugh! Where, my eyes… … .”
Duran was also rubbing his eyes, trying to regain his blurred vision. In the meantime, Shihan grabbed him by the collar.
“Ugh?! W, what?”
Before Duran could even panic, Shihan moved first.
“Then try to run away well.”
Leaving a short remark, he threw Duran away.
An adult male was easily blown into the air by the incredible force. Duran screamed as he fell across the street.
“Whoaaah!”
Only then did Lument and the other Magians come to their senses. As they looked at the situation, they each shouted.
“The monster has fallen!”
“What about the Rusclan? What happened to the Rusclan bloodline?”
“Don’t let them run away!”
“Make sure to catch it!”
***
Duran was thrown between buildings, into a dark alley. He groaned as he sat up.
“Ugh… … .”
The body was intact. It wouldn’t have been strange if he had died instantly after being thrown from a height of several meters, but there were no excessive blows to his entire body.
‘What the heck is this?’
Duran looked at his body in wonder. A faint aura enveloped him and then disappeared. Perhaps it was some kind of defensive fighting technique… … .
‘How powerful must your throwing technique be to fall from this height and still be unharmed?’
Duran looked at Seongshihan, who was standing over the monster, with new eyes. He was currently stabbing the monster’s head with his sword and delivering the final blow.
‘What on earth is that person?’
At that moment, a sharp voice reached Duran’s ears.
“Come here!”
From the darkness of the back alley, a blonde girl was waving at him. Alita Relkan, the Sword Hierarch from Rattenberg.
“What are you doing? Get out of here!”
Only then did Durand come to his senses and quickly ran into the alley. He approached Alita and asked.
“Why?”
The situation didn’t make sense. Why would Hier Shen or this girl help herself, a descendant of Rusclann?
Alita didn’t say anything. She just kept running down the alley with a nervous expression on her face.
Duran, who was running alongside her and looking at her profile, suddenly changed his expression.
“no way…….”
I hadn’t noticed it before, but when I looked closely, the face seemed familiar. To be exact, the image of another woman was superimposed over Alita’s face.
“… … Alitius? Seraphina’s daughter?”
Compared to Alita, who was only seven years old when the Empire fell, Duran, who was fourteen, had more memories.
Once I became conscious, I remembered clearly. The little girl who was shyly crouching behind her mother, holding on to her skirt.
“You’re alive too… … .”
Alita’s steps slowed. All of her health was blown away by a single Arcane Blast.
An ordinary magician wouldn’t be so exhausted that her magical power was completely depleted, but her magical power output was extremely high.
Because more than the allowable amount of magical power was lost at once, he didn’t even have the strength to run on his own two feet, let alone use the whirlwind.
Eventually her knees buckled.
“Haaak, haaak… … .”
He kneels down in his seat, breathing heavily. Even as he does so, he points across the street and mutters desperately.
“Come on… … Run away… … .”
Duran’s expression became sad. The separated half-siblings were reunited after more than ten years, and the time given was only a few seconds.
“Thank you, Alitius.”
With sincere gratitude, Duran approached Alita and whispered something in her ear.
In an instant, Alita’s eyes opened wide.
“… … That, that kind of thing?”
“Please.”
After saying his last words, Duran started running down the street in a hurry. He had no time to chat leisurely. It was too much to even whisper a short message.
So Alita didn’t ask any more questions. She just watched Duran’s back as he walked away without saying anything and prayed.
“I hope you are safe… … .”
It was just then.
Phew!
A pure white light flew through the air and stabbed Duran in the back. It was such a sudden surprise attack that he couldn’t even react.
“Ugh!”
The flash pierced through Duran’s back and into his chest on the other side. Blood began to spurt out in front and behind, dyeing the street red.
A middle-aged knight runs fiercely towards Duran, who is slowly falling.
“Did you really think you could run away!”
The identity of the light was the sacred sword of Kron Lizate, the sacred sword of Prayor Lument. It was the sword that caught sight of Duran fleeing from afar and immediately took action.
“Ugh… … .”
Duran groaned with the sword in his back. The light of life was fading from his dark eyes, characteristic of the Galen tribe.
‘Oh, no!’
In shock, Alita covered her mouth. It was the most she could do to keep herself from shouting Duran’s name.
“I almost missed you, you damn bastard.”
Lument stuck out his tongue as he looked down at the dying Duran.
Duran opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But no voice came out. With his lungs punctured and part of his heart damaged, only the sound of his rasping breath shook the darkness.
“Ugh… … .”
In the end, Duran died on the spot.
Lument looked away from the corpse and looked at Alita.
“Are you feeling okay? You look very tired.”
It seemed like he didn’t suspect Alita at all.
Lument didn’t see the whole story. All he saw was Alita on her knees, exhausted, and Duran quickly running away, leaving her behind.
“I’m glad you’re safe. Fortunately, that villain didn’t try to harm you.”
Duran had originally tried to avoid murder, so it was not at all suspicious that he did not try to kill Alita.
Lument reached out and helped Alita up. His attitude was friendly and gentlemanly enough.
He is originally a very polite person. Unless the other person is a descendant of Rusclan.
“Go, thank you.”
Alita forced a smile and grabbed Lument’s hand. Holding the hand stained with her sibling’s blood, she raised her body and continued speaking as if she was truly relieved.
“I almost missed that demon because my strength was lacking.”
“Haha, what are you talking about? If it weren’t for you guys, the situation would have been even worse. Hey, how many sacrifices were made because of this guy, huh!”
Lument spat at Duran’s body, then turned his head to look across the street.
Before they knew it, Shihan and Zenon had completely dealt with Duran’s monsters and were retreating. Lument continued speaking with sincere gratitude.
“I am truly indebted to the knights of other countries. I don’t know how I can repay this favor.”
Alita replied with a bright smile.
“It is our natural duty to slay the demons of Rusclan.”
She smiled brightly, but sobbed inwardly.
