Episode 31
descent
Kwa-kwa-kwa-
As Elric, I couldn’t understand it at all.
‘Why on earth are you touching citizens who have nothing to do with it?’
-Those who have power must have the qualifications and have obligations.
That was a lesson Elric had received over and over since he was young.
When asked why the family had fallen like this, my father answered with a smile.
And my sister continued to repeat my father’s teachings even after he passed away.
As Elric, I couldn’t understand why they were breaking such ‘common sense’.
Their aim was quickly apparent.
This is probably done to find Isabelle and others who are hiding.
In fact, I knew that among lions and mages, there were some who did not treat civilians as ‘humans’ in order to achieve their own goals.
But this situation has gone too far.
Then there is only one way left.
‘I guess I should get rid of it.’
The world that my grandfather cherished and wanted to leave behind would not be like this.
When that thought occurred to him, Elric composed himself.
I think we shouldn’t just leave them alone, as well as the ones behind them.

“Where on earth did such a bastard come out of nowhere!”
Team 3 leader Simonan was shocked.
Even though there were only two scrolls used so far, it was still the magic of the 4th circle.
Make it just a one time thing?
I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.
Even if it has manifested ice attribute magic, which can be considered a natural enemy of fire attributes.
Doesn’t it take a lot of magical energy to spread a magical field over such a wide area?
Unless he had some magic tools in his possession, it was a ridiculous situation.
Hwii!
The other person seemed to be okay with Simonan’s curiosity and was activating a new spell again.
Ice arrow.
Was it circle 1 or circle 2? In any case, it was only of a low level, so it was a magic that was mainly used by beginners in magic when they realized the ice attribute.
However, if there is a problem.
‘Why are there so many?!’
Even at first glance, the number was close to a hundred!
The sight of icicles as thick as a person’s fist condensing and pouring down in the air gave the viewer goosebumps.
The sense of crisis grew even more as Elric from the roof fell towards us, snow was blowing and icicles were falling.
A red light turned on in the mind of Simonan, who had lived his whole life without thinking and relying only on his animal senses.
Hurry and run away from here!
“damage!”
As soon as Simonan’s order was given, the three groups quickly dispersed in all directions.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-
Puff puff!
My muscles were startled by the sudden cold and I momentarily hesitated. The icicle that fell without missing the gap was sharp and hard.
“Kaaak!”
“what’s this!”
“My arm! My faaaaal!”
“shit… ! “Where on earth does a bastard like that come from?”
While the blue langurs that were unable to escape from the range of the magic field were suffering damage one after another and were complaining of pain.
No matter how I turned the auror chain to the maximum to block the ice arrow, what happened next was the problem.
The durability of the arrow was so strong that the moment I struck it down, the impact was so great that I thought my wrist might be dislocated, and as a result, it was difficult to block the ice arrows that rained down in succession.
Is that all there is?
The snowfall was so strong that visibility became so narrow that it was difficult to see what was ahead, so the damage was bound to be greater.
“Hold your formation first, you bastards!”
However, since Simonan screamed loudly with magical power and had already become familiar with the tactics, the members of Group 3 tried to escape from the range of the magical field somehow.
Cheongrang has tactics suited to the different specialties of each group.
Among them, Group 3’s specialty is surprise attacks using cover.
And urban warfare, with plenty of cover, was their favorite battlefield.
Pat, Pabat-
Kukukuk!
Group 3 faithfully hid in a street corner or a pile of fallen rocks behind a building.
Thanks to this, the ice arrows only had to hit the poor cover.
There are two dead members.
There were many more people who suffered major and minor injuries, but the damage was minimal considering the power of the magic.
Simonan felt relieved, but gritted his teeth with the thought of somehow ripping off the head of the unknown wizard.
But in order to do that, we need to secure safety first and then take advantage of the opportunity.
So, like my subordinates, I’m trying to push them back.
“… “Inhale!”

At that moment, Simonan made eye contact with Elric.
It just so happened that Elric, who was chasing the fleeing Jo Won and smashing his head, looked up in this direction.
But the guy’s eyes were so strange.
‘What kind of human eyes!’
The moment I was exposed to Elric’s pupils, which were emitting a mysterious five-colored glow, as if some other magic had been activated, I felt as if my whole body had been stripped naked.
It feels like the personality of ‘Simonan’ is being dismantled one by one.
Although it was just a fleeting moment, it was a horrifying experience that he would never forget.
and.
“Is it you? “The head.”
“… !”
Quaaaang!
Elric flew in this direction.
Nettle liquid-
“Holy zenjaaaang!”
Simonan cursed and hurriedly reached for the scimitar (a gently curved blade) hanging on his belt.
But what kind of wizard can move so quickly?
Before he knew it, Elric had arrived right in front of him.
In terms of speed alone, it seemed to be much faster than himself!
“【Freeze】, 【Stuck】.”
Elric stretched out his hand in this direction.
As frost filled the palm of my hand, it glowed white as if full of light.
A magic that combines ‘Frozen Touch’ from the 5th Circle and ‘Planting a Curse’ from the 3rd Circle.
Frozen hands forcibly engrave ice poison wherever they touch.
Curse planting boasts the feature of forcibly implanting a specific curse on the opponent.
In other words, Elric was planning to process the ice poison into a curse and forcefully engrave it on Simonan.
Even with just a brush, Simonan could never avoid frostbite. It was so dangerous that she had to cut out her entire body part in some cases because the poison quickly penetrated all the way to her blood vessels.
It was also one of the methods that Elric was most confident in developing after obtaining the Seal of Relentlessness.
but.
Shhh!
Just before the hand struck Simonan in the chest, a sharp wind suddenly blew from below, cleverly targeting blind spots.
An attack so threatening that it could have been missed if it weren’t for the mind’s eye.
Elric instinctively took a step back.
A sharp wind passed through the area where he was and hit his palm.
Chaaaaang!
What the heck-
The sword, which was the object of the sharp wind, froze in an instant and then exploded like a firecracker.
Among countless bouncing knives and ice shards.
Beskov suddenly appeared, pulled Simonan back and spoke briefly.
“Formation B.”
Simonan gritted his teeth and nodded. And he hid his body behind a nearby building.
Groups 2 and 3 frequently engaged in joint training, and formations suited to each situation had already been combined.
The formation that Beskov had just mentioned was very simple.
Group 2’s specialty is hand-to-hand combat. While they were tying the opponent’s feet, the three hidden groups took turns hunting the opponent, aiming for a surprise attack.
It was mainly a tactic suitable for strongmen or a small number of elites with power that was difficult to deal with on their own.
Shush shush-
Beskov pulled out the swords hanging from his waist and attacked Elric.
His specialty is dual swordsmanship. The art of using two swords of the same size and weight in succession is very difficult to deal with because it is subject to change.
‘Even more so for a magician who is skilled at martial arts!’
Cha cha cha chang!
just as expected.
In an instant, the tide turned, and Elric, who had been attacking Cheongrang, retreated, and Bescorp attacked.
The constant barrage of sword strikes was so sharp and sharp that Elric had a hard time just avoiding each attack.
Fortunately, my mind’s eye was open, and the frozen fingers were still active on both hands, so I wasn’t seriously hurt.
Still, it seemed dangerous all the same.
Therefore, Beskov did not want to miss this opportunity.
‘He is strong. So before the full power is revealed… ‘We must defeat it!’
The double chain rang fiercely. Auras were engraved on the twin swords, persistently digging into Elric’s weaknesses.
“We’ll help too, Captain!”
And the second group followed Beskov and flocked here.
Faba Park!
The purpose was to join forces because Elric was judged to be a mage-level wizard and was concerned that Bescorp would be pushed out.
In addition, Group 3 was also busy moving around, looking for an opportunity to attack.
There were more blades raining down on Elric. Among the crowded blue palaces with no room to step, Elric looked dangerous, as if he would collapse at any moment.
however.
‘… Smile?’
Beskov didn’t miss the faint smile that formed on Elric’s lips at that moment.
Both eyes were also very calm, considering they were in crisis.
It’s like the eyes of a wild beast waiting for its prey to reveal its nape… !
‘no way!’
Beskov caught wind of it.
Now that I think about it, there was something that made me feel uncomfortable.
Originally, wizards tend to never take the lead when engaging in battle due to the complex process of mathematical calculations and magic processing.
However, Elric ignored all such common sense and jumped directly into the battlefield.
Until now, I was busy dealing with him, so I didn’t think much about it and just thought he was arrogant.
What if there was another trick here?
If only they had hoped that not only Beskov but all of them would flock together!
“not… !”
At one point, Elric laid down on his back and placed both hands on the floor.
So so so so-
In an instant, a magic field spread like ripples across the land they were on, and a thick sheet of ice was spread in an instant.
“【Explode】.”
With a short statement.
Puff puff poop!
The ice sheet exploded all at once.
“Kaaaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
“Whoa, whoa! Buy, save… !”
The blue langurs who approached Elric were swept up in the explosion and died as their bodies were forcibly torn apart.
However, even for those who were not directly exposed to the explosion, the damage was not necessarily minor.
Hundreds and thousands of ice fragments flew out and hit their bodies one after another, using them as targets.
That wasn’t the only problem.
The ice that Elric exploded was made using frozen hands.
In other words, it contained a huge amount of ice poison.
Ice poison quickly spread to the spot where the ice fragments were stuck. Frostbite and necrosis progressed simultaneously, and in an instant, some people’s arms were frozen and others’ legs were pressed to the ground. The person who had the unlucky chance of being stabbed in the abdomen was frozen inside and became rigid.
A lot of frost began to form on the skin, and people spouting white breath began to appear one after another.
Ice mines.
It is an application of the flame mine that has been used so far, and was used to spread the ice poison processed through a curse as much as possible.
The second group was half destroyed.
And the remaining half.
“It looks nice now. 【Swing it around】.”
As soon as I snapped my fingers, I was torn to pieces by the swirling ice storm again.
None of them thought of running away.
If you were exposed to even a little bit of ice poison, one of your joints would be damaged and you couldn’t escape from it.
Whihwihwihwi!
Wizard who swallowed talent
