Episode 32
descent
“Miss… Where on earth did you find such a talented person? ji?”
After the ice storm swept through.
There was no one left alive on the spot.
Only Beskov was standing, leaning on his barely visible sword.
However, more than half of his body was covered in frost, so it would not be surprising if he died at any time.
Beskov forced Elric into view with his fading vision.
Snap.
Snap.
Elric was coming this way.
With each step, there was a sound of the ice breaking into smaller pieces.
As the sound gradually gets louder.
Beskov felt that he was gradually sinking into the swamp of death.
‘Are you sure. ‘It wasn’t a team.’
Group 6 is made up of people who are good at chasing and have the cruelest temperament within Cheongrang.
The problem was that we decided from the beginning that we were a team because we defeated those people.
‘You were a solo player.’
I thought it was definitely Isabel’s close associate within the Weil family, or the Blue Lion’s disguise.
That wasn’t it.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that that wizard joined Isabel and her group.
It may be that the Magic Tower dispatched a powerful person for the purpose of imposing a debt on the Byle family.
Looking at the recent relationship between the Lion House and the Magic Tower, a proud Magic Tower would not have done that.
It occurred to me for a moment that maybe that wizard and the Magic Tower did not have a very amicable relationship.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even thought of helping Isabel in the first place.
the problem is.
‘It’s not just about strength.’
He has the ability to read the situation and has the right strategy for the right time and place.
He was also a ‘fighter’ who knew how to use improvisation appropriately at times.
Although he looked young on the outside, he definitely had a lot of combat experience befitting his age.
Could this be the magic warrior I only heard about?
if.
It could be that he was not a born fighter, but that he controlled the battlefield solely through thorough ‘calculation’.
then.
I can only describe him in one word.
‘cloth… re.’
Beskov laughed involuntarily.
“For the first time… Captain 1 misjudged… second… You did it… .”
It occurred to me that perhaps my lord had unexpectedly encountered an annoying stumbling block.
That moment.
chuck!
For the first time, Elric stopped walking.
My head was twisted crookedly.
“One trillion pieces?”
Beskov forced his mouth to answer while looking at his shabby appearance reflected in Elric’s pupils.
“There… all. Read people’s psychology… And, the prediction using that is like a fortune teller… That’s our view… “It’s water.”
“It’s him? “The bastard who made these things happen.”
Beskov laughed silently.
Elric accepted that as a silent affirmation.
“You won’t be lonely on the way. “I’ll send him out with you soon.”
“It’s not easy… No… second… !”
puck!
Beskov’s words did not last long.
This was because Elric, who had grown tired of listening, reached out and blew off the guy’s head.
dump!
Elric passed Beskov’s fallen body and walked back to where Team 3 and Simonan were.
* * *
“… !”
“… !”
“Oh, that’s ridiculous… !”
Group 3, who had to watch in silence as Group 2 was annihilated, was horrified.
In particular, there are no words to express the shock that Simonan received.
It was said that Beskov had been reluctant to him for a long time, but in fact, he had never disliked Beskov.
On the contrary, I found it quite fun to make fun of him for being blunt, so I tended to like him.
Deep down, I also recognized my skills.
But a guy like that got away that easily?
Among wizards, the only ones with that level of skill were those who were quite advanced.
‘Damn, mage… ?’

So, at first glance, I thought so.
“no. “Not even a mage.”
Simonan immediately shook his head vigorously.
Considering the power of the magic that is clearly activated and the range of the magic field, it may be close to the level of a mage.
one thing.
Just one thing was lacking.
“If that were the case, they would have killed all of us here right away.”
Mages are different from ordinary wizards.
Was it for no reason that the expression of walking one’s own path, ‘the magic path’, came about?
If things were as they should be, there would be no need for such troublesome tricks.
‘But it’s clear that he’s close to that level of skill.’
Moreover, I don’t know what kind of tricks he was using, but he was hunting down the 3 trillion won members who were well hidden.
Even if you try to resist, you can’t break through the blizzard that follows Elric.
If things continue like this, everyone has no choice but to die.
Somehow, a new solution had to be found.
Simonan regained his composure and looked at the subordinate next to him.
“hey.”
“yes. captain.”
“The plan has already gone awry. I don’t think he’ll let us live. “Then shouldn’t the mission be completed even if I die?”
Simonan laughed cruelly.
An appearance that is difficult to see as belonging to someone who is on the verge of death.
“yes. “That is correct.”
Jo Won also laughed the same way.
Group 3 was a place where everyone had abnormal thoughts like the leader.
“Our mission is to erase everyone else except the young lady. then.”
The smile deepened.
“I have no choice but to kill as many people as possible.”
Simonan distributed the remaining three scrolls to the most agile subordinates.
“Run. Until you get heat rash on your feet. Set it on fire, and if you think it’s not enough, light yourself on fire and move it. “It’s about turning the city into ashes.”
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to kill as many as possible, including the young lady and her companions who are hiding somewhere in this city, as well as the witnesses to this fight?
Although the young lady may die in the process.
Well, let’s just say it was a small mistake that occurred during the mission.
If he died anyway, there was no need to be disciplined.
“Now, go!”
Pot! Pababat!
The three members each started running in different directions.
“Let’s go too. Let the fire burn brighter!”
Elric was approaching this way, catching the hidden blue langurs like a ghost.
Simonan took out the last remaining scroll from his pocket that he had not even shown to Beskov.
A scroll containing the 6th circle magic, ‘Bridle of Deterioration’.
This should be enough to kill that guy too.
* * *
‘I was lucky.’
Elric thought as he struck down each of the three groups hiding in his mind’s eye.
From time to time, there were people who jumped in looking for an opening, but they weren’t enough to avoid the Mind’s Eye.
However, what I felt each time was that the battle was definitely different from the Yeti Plateau.
At that time, the environment was an environment, so the seal of cruelty worked very well.
When I came out to the city, I found that using the seal was not that easy.
The amount of magic power consumed was considerable, and the range of the magic field also had limitations.
I feel like I’m stuck in a wall.
It seemed like I needed to find a way to increase the melting rate of magic stones or increase the achievement level of the seal of cruelty.
but.
There was actually a bigger problem.
‘Other attributes or systems are not expressed well. Even if it works, the effect is too low.’
I didn’t show it as much as I could so as not to be caught by them.
When Elric first clashed with Beskov, he had to be quite embarrassed.
I tried to blunt the blades of the dual swords he used using an iron attribute spell called ‘Curse of Rust’, but that didn’t work well.
Similarly, even if I tried to lighten my movements by using the wind attribute magic called ‘Echoing Strong Wind’, the effect was only half of what it normally was.
Thanks to this, Elric had to stop the two magics that only consumed magic power and fight Beskov using only ice attribute magic.
Fortunately, the strategy worked and we won.
It was a completely unexpected situation for Elric.
‘The power of the seal is the same. As the Ice attribute increases, do other attributes become relatively lower?
Elric shook his head.
‘no. The absolute number has clearly decreased. ‘Why?’
A very brief worry.
‘Seal… Is it because of this?
Then it made sense.
Elric had already obtained the Seal of Relentlessness, and felt his constitution change little by little according to his level of achievement.
In that case, it wasn’t strange at all if the magical properties changed accordingly.
‘Perhaps if I want to properly use magic of a different attribute in the future, I might need a seal appropriate for that.’
Elric narrowed his eyes.
‘I’ll have to find out more accurately later.’
But since I have to focus on the fight first, I’m going to pour more magical energy into the Seal of Relentlessness.
『Pahat!』
“… ?”
Suddenly, Mephisto, who had been observing the fight until now, burst out laughing.
『It looks like you’re about to do something crazy.』
Elric was about to ask what that meant, but immediately frowned.
Three distorted bundles of grain were running away in all directions.
It was obvious what that meant.
They want to set the city on fire!
“You bastards, until the end!”
『Sometimes humans are crazier than demons! cancer! No matter how noble you pretend to be, this is the true face of your species!』
Whether Mephisto burst out laughing or not, Elric’s top priority was to stop them from doing strange things.
But Elric had no idea to stop them.
“Fuhahaha!”
Simonan, who had been hiding like a rat until now, came out and was glaring triumphantly in this direction.
The problem was the object he was holding in his hand.
A scroll with more coherent texture than any other.
‘At least 6 circles!’
It also seemed full of anger.
If that thing were activated, this area, no, the entire city could be engulfed in phone calls!
“If you can stop this, I’ll admit it. how is it? Kikikick!”
Simonan let out a bizarre laugh and tore the scroll open.
No, I wanted to tear it up.
If it weren’t for the sharp wind that suddenly blew.
Squeak-
“My arm… ? my arm! Argh!”
Simonan’s right hand was bouncing into the air as it held the scroll.
“Because you’re not the only one who has scrolls.”
Tsutsutsu-
Isabel appeared next to Simonan, who was complaining of pain, and smiled coldly.
In her right hand she held a sword dripping with blood, and in her left hand she held a scroll torn in half.
A scroll engraved with the ‘stealth’ spell.
It was made temporarily in preparation for an emergency before Elric left for a while.
Not only was he unable to use magic, but he was an Elric who always recorded superior results in other fields, so of course he had some expertise in making scrolls.
“This bird… !”
Simonan’s eyes were red and he tried to swing the sword in his left hand at Isabelle.
but.
“Where?”
Before I knew it, Elric was getting closer using speed magic.
The effects of other attributes were reduced, but it did not mean that they could not be used completely.
“【Freeze】.”
Elric activated ‘Frozen Touch’ and violently struck Simonan in the chest.
So so so so-
The ice poison immediately penetrated his heart and froze his entire body.
and.
“【Blow】,【Shut up】.”
Elric engraved a magic field into the bundles of grains he had sensed in advance and activated a double spell.
The guys who were running with the scroll with ‘Return of the Heat Wave’ engraved on them had to fall down, completely trapped by the ice arrows that rained down on them at once.
One of them succeeded in tearing the scroll before dying, but the embers did not ignite for long and were quickly extinguished by a snowstorm.
“… Wow.”
Isabelle’s eyes widened as she watched Elric’s fight right next to her for the first time.
That’s because everything seemed so amazing in her eyes.
I realized that this was a ‘real’ fight.
Elric chuckled as he looked at Isabel like that.
Perhaps because it was his first time holding a sword, he showed great skill in cutting off Simonan’s arm, but his hands trembled and he immediately sat down in place.
It was surprisingly cute to see him quickly forget about it and just blankly watch the magic.
‘But how did you do it?’
Then Elric had a question.
Even though Simonan was preoccupied with himself and the stealth spell was activated, he couldn’t see her.
How could Isabel, who is known to have no talent for swordsmanship, fool his senses and get so close?
Considering that the senses of the martial artists I had met so far were so sharp that they were incomparable to those of wizards, it was hard to believe it.
‘I need to first get rid of the rest and then talk about it.’
Elric activated the seal of cruelty even louder.
Wizard who swallowed talent
