Episode 381: Second Continental War (4)
Verde swallowed dry saliva.
A magic tower lord whose whereabouts cannot be found.
Wizards spread out on the floor.
And the presence of Edwin Hector, who exuded a menacing aura, warned that things had gone terribly wrong.
‘If you tell the truth, you will die.’
It was a certainty.
It was a warning given by instinct.
According to the original plan, the plan was to understand the situation and silence him, but Verde made an effort to hide his expression and responded that he did not know what was going on.
“… … What on earth does that mean? I only came here a month after reporting that a problem had occurred, and I don’t know enough to explain anything. Rather, Prince Edwin Hector should provide an explanation. Where on earth is the Magic Tower Lord, and why did he attack the wizards of the sky? “If you don’t give a proper explanation, I can’t ignore this incident.”
As he said.
It was a situation that needed explanation.
As the wizards gathered around with stiff expressions, Edwin Hector looked around indifferently and said,
“It’s so strange. Why did Master, who usually did not hide their conversations, use silence magic to block the conversation from leaking today? “Why did the magicians in the sky stop Butler from checking the office, and why did you, who came running after hearing the news, try to settle the situation as if making excuses rather than getting angry after discovering the corpses?”
“Please don’t sell me with pointless speculation.”
“It’s a very elaborate situation to be speculation. So I thought of this hypothesis. You are in league with the magic tower lord of the sky. There is no way that the entity called Vice Tower Lord, who takes the place of the Magic Tower Lord, would not know the truth about the sky being ruled by Kronos. But what is the reason you rushed in with only a few wizards? This is not simply due to unexpected variables. “If this leaks out, it means that problems will arise that you cannot handle.”
short time.
Edwin Hector grasped the situation.
With only fragmentary information, I drew a picture in my head.
“The Magic Tower in the Sky is a group formed by wizards who came after hearing about its greatest reputation on the continent. It would be impossible to subdue them all through mind control, so a few people like you would have maintained the power of the Magic Tower while hiding the truth. Verde. I think you came running in a huff for that reason, what do you think? “Do you still think what I said was nonsense and pointless speculation?”
The atmosphere was cold and frozen.
It was just a hypothesis.
It’s nothing, a nonsense story.
However, Verde, who was pointed out at the right point, was unable to respond properly as he felt his thoughts stop for a moment.
A momentary reaction.
“You look like you’ve discovered the truth.”
Edwin Hector laughed.
The hypothesis was true.
The Magic Tower in the Sky hid the truth to grow its power, and no one knew the truth except a few wizards who followed Verde.
So I had no choice but to hurry.
If Edwin Hector reveals the secret of the sky, the tower he worked so hard to build will collapse.
There was a tense atmosphere.
That moment.
Breaking through the silence, Verde unleashed his magic.
“Attack immediately… … !”
Flash.
I’m not going to fall in.
I was blind.
Verde, who lost his eyesight for a moment, couldn’t even finish the spell and showed a lost expression.
“Chain Lightning.”
Edwin Hector raises his finger.
In the space he pointed to, the wizards who had tried to carry out Verde’s orders were lying charred and charred.
* * *
Chain Lightning.
It is a 3-circle spell.
Although the magicians in the sky were at a sufficient level to react, no one noticed the magic occurring.
It was fast and powerful.
It’s hard to believe that it’s a 3-circle magic, so wizards who were electrocuted by chain lightning died without even being able to resist.
“… … .”
I was at a loss for words.
Verde’s eyes wavered.
From what he knew, Edwin Hector was a 5th circle wizard, but the power he showed just now was definitely not that.
‘To use chain lightning with this level of power, it takes at least 6 circles, maybe more.’
Confusion arose.
It was ridiculous.
Moment.
An ominous thought arose.
Edwin Hector might have been the reason why the magic tower owner in the sky disappeared.
“Butler, capture Verde.”
“yes.”
I never thought of resisting.
Verde was captured and trapped by Edwin Hector’s overwhelming magic power.
My head fell to the floor. Even while his arms were tied, he could not hide his confused feelings.
It was as he expected.
world of spirit.
Edwin Hector, who fought a fierce battle there, exploded the darkness and absorbed the magic power of the Celestial Magic Tower.
The amount of magical power was enormous.
It went beyond what was acceptable in five circles, and the situation became dangerous enough to cause body convulsions like the scene Butler witnessed.

at that time.
The upper division showed its power.
The passage leading to the upper part of the hall opened and accepted mana, and as the circulation between the upper part and the circle took place, all the mana began to be absorbed.
It was truly a coincidence.
As time passed, the five circles grew bigger and stronger, completely exceeding the normal standards, and as if that wasn’t enough, new circles emerged.
around the heart.
Seven rings were created.
People said that what Edwin Hector lacked was not talent but time.
however.
The shortcomings were made up by absorbing the magic power of the Celestial Magic Tower.
It was a variable that even Roman Dmitry could not have predicted, and Edwin Hector achieved rapid growth in the short time that Verde was running.
Ta-ta-ta-tak.
“What is this!”
“Edwin Hector! Release Lord Buddha!”
Wizards heard the commotion and flocked.
They couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
In the eyes of the wizards who did not know the truth, it looked as if Edwin Hector had captured the Vice Tower and slaughtered the wizards of the sky.
It was an expected situation.
Knowing how he would be viewed, Edwin Hector took Verde hostage before the other wizards arrived.
Wizards flocked in.
In a situation where they seemed hostile, Edwin Hector spoke without losing his composure.
“From now on, I will show you the truth. “Image memory.”
In my head.
Memories of direct experience were materialized.
“It might be questionable to you. What on earth is going on? “What on earth have I done to you, whom you have treated as your teacher?”
The magic tower lord of the sky.
It was his voice.
People’s faces were stained with bewilderment.
Edwin Hector’s remarks revealed the ugly truth, and the wizards who had shown hostility just now looked confused.
From then on, there was no need for an explanation.
The memory that the image memory tells, the truth of the sky. It perfectly proved the obvious reason for capturing Verde.
yet.
The memory was recovered.
Edwin Hector said, looking at the lost people.
“This is why I attacked the wizards of the sky, and this is the truth about the sky that you did not know. The lord of the magic tower in the sky was Kronos’ dog. On the outside, he pretended to care for wizards and criticized the Kronos Empire, which was behind the disappearance of wizards, but he satisfied his desires by gobbling up the circle of talented wizards.”
Eyes were focused.
People were angry.
“The sky has lost its way. But if you are willing to face the truth and right the wrongs… … .”
The crisis was an opportunity.
By Edwin Hector.
turned the situation around.
“Follow me. I will show you a new path.”
Two days before the invasion of Valhalla.
In the Kingdom of Hector, a variable that everyone did not expect occurred.
* * *
next day.
Unlike Hector’s kingdom, which had overcome a critical juncture, a hell of chaos unfolded on the border of Umberto.
Quang!
Rumbling.
The castle wall collapsed.
Although we had installed layers of magic defense in preparation for today, there was no way to withstand the explosive magic attacks of the Kronos Empire.
The walls collapsed just a few hours after the attack began.
Hundreds of thousands of armies rushed into the castle, and from then on, Umberto’s soldiers had no choice but to face countless deaths.
“Stop the enemies… … “Kwaaak!”
“Ugh.”
Screams were heard from all directions.
No matter where I looked, there was no hopeful sight.
Once pierced, there was no way to stop the flames of death from spreading throughout the area.
“Hold on till the end! “If this place is breached, there is no hope for Umberto’s kingdom.”
Deep.
Kwasik!
Calderon Drake.
He created an aura and cut down his enemies.
He was already drenched in blood, and he showed no sign of retreating even as he faced countless waves of enemies.
I planned to die here.
I knew very well that if Umberto’s best defense was breached like this, Umberto would collapse like a sand castle, starting with his front-line defensive positions.
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
It created an aura.
While cutting down the knight of Kronos rampaging inside, he asked his subordinate as if urging him on.
“What about reinforcements?”
“It seems impossible to provide enough reinforcements to turn the situation around. As the riots in the lawless area become more severe, the punitive forces sent there are tied up, and as Valhalla sends troops near the Frankish border, Frankish and Redford are also preparing for a decisive battle with Valhalla. “In the meantime, he said he would send his troops, but it is impossible to block Kronos’ large army with that alone.”
“damn!”
His expression distorted.
I was at a loss.
A new kingdom union is created.
Calderon Drake saw the future.
It was thought that in this system following Roman Dmitry, it was possible to at least create a country worthy of a country, but the power of the empire that dominated the continent for a long time was too strong.
I wanted to somehow buy time with Umberto’s own strength.
Time for Roman Dmitry to escape the territory of Valhalla.
At least at this time when the empire revealed its ambitions, I wanted to show that even without Dmitri, the kingdom alliance was formidable.
but.
There was no twist.
The truth was obvious.
If it had been possible from the beginning through their own efforts, the Kingdom Alliance would not have been so desperate.
Wow.
Cut down the enemy army.
And then.
“Call Dmitri right now. “If you don’t send reinforcements, Umberto can’t hold out any longer.”
I felt like grasping at straws.
Contrary to the bare expectations.
A few minutes later.
Calderon Drake heard a despairing report that even Dmitri was under attack by Kronos.
* * *
It was a familiar picture.
Beyond Dmitry’s walls.
The space became distorted, and Kronos’ soldiers, led by Mystique, appeared.
“… … Kronos, what a scary country.”
On the castle wall.
Knight Commander Jonathan swallowed dry saliva.
The continent was turned upside down.
The Kronos Empire attacked Umberto and Cairo simultaneously, mobilizing over a million troops, but sent separate troops to Dmitry.
Moreover, the shocking sight of so many troops moving without a warp gate once again made them realize who they were waging war against.
but.
Dmitry wasn’t just playing around either.
What happened that day.
It remained as a wound.
Many people died the day Dmitry was attacked, and people like Henderson risked their lives to protect Dmitry.
From then on, Dmitry was fully prepared.
If the same situation happens, the result will be different. So that no problems arise for Dmitry even if Roman Dmitry is not there. Everyone, led by Knight Commander Jonathan, has made repeated efforts.
spoke to the adjutant.
“Are you ready for Mercury?”
“All done.”
“Tell this to the soldiers. We are not simply holding on to endure. I will crush the enemies who dared attack Dmitry and avenge what happened in the past. Dmitry will now prove to the world that this is not a land that can be taken carelessly.”
“I will pass it on literally.”
His eyes were full of determination.
this much.
I took a step.
Knight Commander Jonathan ordered each person to a designated location, but there was one person who caught his eye.
“Ares. “Can I ask you one question?”
“Please speak.”
Ares.
A new person who emerges as Dmitry’s second-in-command.
People believed him.
Even without Roman Dmitri, because Ares is there, even if a strong enemy appears, he can be stopped.
“That is not the location designated by Ares. I clearly asked you to take charge of the top of the castle wall on the right, but why are you there near the castle gate? And above all… … .”
a few days ago.
Lucas of Haomun warned.
Variables that may come in handy.
“Is it true that the reason you didn’t follow Master Roman Dmitry to Valhalla was simply because you were tired?”
To Valhalla.
Ares was excluded.
It’s not intentional.
He himself said that he would stay with Dmitri because his mission in Valhalla was difficult.
Remarks by Knight Commander Jonathan.
Moment.
“… … “The nuance of your words sounds quite dangerous. Am I mistaken?”
Ares looked at Knight Commander Jonathan with a cold expression.
