“Philena, she definitely didn’t have that good of a head, right?”
Repenhardt himself taught me the theory, so of course I know it. However, Filena’s magic calculation power was not excellent enough to apply the theory to the 5th circle.
Of course, if you practice hard, your magic calculation power will increase to some extent, but it was never that high. If it was a problem that could be solved with just effort, why would the modern-day Repenhardt go through such a fuss to save Eleusion’s voice?
‘But when I met Filena again, her computing power increased tremendously, as if she were using Eleusion’s voice.’
As far as he knew, Eleusion’s voice was the only way to increase a wizard’s computing power. And that artifact was currently in his possession.
Leffenhardt scratched his head.
“… … “I don’t know what happened.”
My mind was complicated and I couldn’t organize it.
Everything about Filena and that unidentified artifact was beyond his understanding. For the first time since returning to this era, something happened that I had no idea about.
“What has Tethron done? But what on earth can something like that happen?”
☆ ☆ ☆
It was not until much later that Iniya returned to Reppenhardt.
Since Filenaya Tethron was wandering around the edge of death, she hurriedly flew away, mobilizing all the magical power she had, but Iniya had no reason to do so. Because it was clear that Leffenhardt had won.
So, instead of running after him, he used his aurors on the spot and concentrated on recovering from his wounds. It was only after his body had recovered to some extent that he rejoined the group.
Seeing Iniya approaching, Reppenhardt asked how she was doing.
“Are you okay, Iniya?”
“Yes, I can barely move.”
She handed me an apology as if she was embarrassed.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t kill that female wizard.”
“You were seriously injured, right? it’s okay.”
In a soft voice, Reppenhardt comforted Iniya. At that time, she suddenly raised her eyes sharply.
“however… … .”
She asked coldly, glaring at the part of Zeppelin’s castle wall that was now in ruins and the collapsed spot where Tethron and Filena were.
“Why didn’t you kill him right away, Mr. Reppenhardt?”
“yes?”
Confused, Reppenhardt looked at Iniya.
“If I hadn’t missed the wizard, I wouldn’t have missed them. “It was entirely my fault.”
Iniya once again apologized in a calm voice. And then he immediately raised his voice and asked a question.
“But if Repenhardt had killed that man right away, the female wizard wouldn’t have had time to rescue him. Why didn’t you kill her right away?”
Leffenhardt was taken aback. Is he perhaps to blame for missing the enemy?
But Iniya is also responsible for that. And he admitted it himself. So that may not be the reason.
Iniya’s eyes looked straight at Reppenhardt. Her eyes, which had always been soft, were now shining like ice. It was the same look she had often seen in her past life.
Indeed, Iniya revealed the reason why she was truly angry.
“Is this by any chance to appease the other person?”
“Oh, that’s… … Talent is too precious to kill… … .”
Iniya’s expression became even colder.
“I also heard the story about Chancellor Karl. He too was an enemy, but now he has changed his mind and become our ally. So I wondered if Mr. Reppenhardt might have had that thought.”
“Yes, that’s right… … .”
Shrugging his shoulders, Reppenhardt glanced at Iniya. I couldn’t understand why he would get so angry at me for trying to appease Tethron because he felt sorry for his talent like he did with Carl.
At that time, Iniya frowned softly.
“he is… … Killed the cardamite… … .”
Her voice continued.
“I almost died because of him too.”
“Iniya… … .”
“As a sword-wielding warrior, I don’t think it was unfair that I lost to him, even if it was split. Cardamite would have done the same. “Because he was also a proud warrior.”
A cold smile appeared on Iniya’s lips.
“I was just curious. “When I tried to placate him, I wonder if Cardamite’s death was actually on Mr. Reppenhardt’s mind.”
Repenhardt’s expression hardened.
He inadvertently turned his gaze toward where Cardamite had fallen. Of course, Cardamite’s body was not there. Because others had already collected the body and escaped from the castle.
Yes, the moment he saw Cardamite’s body, he was definitely angry. And she also felt sorry.
Because he was the strongest Dwarf warrior and Auror user. He was naturally sad and embarrassed as he had lost a valuable colleague and valuable talent.
But did that mean you felt sad at that moment?
Leffenhardt wasn’t so sure.
He had already seen so much death and suffered so much sorrow in his previous life. So he was able to keep his cool even in the face of Cardamite’s death. It was so easy to leave the sadness behind and calmly focus on the battle.
‘Yes, you can’t just be sad in that situation, can you?’
Cardamite was certainly a valuable companion, but that was just it. Like his family, friends, or lover, he is not close enough to feel overwhelming sadness the moment he loses him.
‘If you are so soft that you shed tears every time a colleague or subordinate dies, isn’t that really unqualified to be a leader?’
Reppenhardt frowned and was about to refute it.
Iniya’s blunt voice continued.
“If the dead person had been Miss Siris, would Master Repenhardt have acted the same way?”
“… … .”
Reppenhardt fell silent again. His expression changed frequently.
I was upset for a moment, but after thinking about it calmly, I realized that Iniya was right.
No matter what excuse you use, it is clearly not right to try to appease the person who just killed your colleague.
Even if it wasn’t enough to make people cry, at least they had to respect Cardamite’s death. He should have behaved appropriately so that his death would have meaning.
That would be the right thing to do.
“Whoa… … “I was foolish, Iniya.”
Reppenhardt sighed and slumped his shoulders. Surprisingly, he seems to readily admit his mistakes. Iniya’s complexion became even darker.

It was true that I was angry. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t something I could just ignore, and it was something I said even though I was prepared to be hated.
Fortunately, Leffenhardt was not angry. Rather, he listened seriously to her advice and admitted his mistakes.
However, I don’t think it’s because he genuinely regrets Cardamite’s death. Rather, is it a reflection on the fact that I violated morality?
This is not the response of a human being with common sense sensibilities. It was so annoying that even Iniya, an elf, could see it.
‘… … This person, something is off.’
In fact, there were still questions to be questioned later. About that black-haired man and the female mage, and their relationship with Reppenhardt.
‘It seemed like we knew each other well… … .’
I was planning on continuing to argue with Reppenhardt if he gets upset, but with the atmosphere like this, it feels a bit awkward to do that. The two stood there in silence for a moment. Even though the anger has subsided, the awkward atmosphere does not go away easily.
“Anyway, let’s get out of here too. “We have to catch up with those ahead of us.”
The current situation is not a time for leisurely conversation. With a quick glance, Iniya changed the mood.
“Oh, of course.”
Only then did Reppenhardt come to his senses and look beyond the Zeppelin walls. Both of them kicked the ground and threw themselves.
Iniya, who was flying over the castle wall, suddenly looked back.
The hazy Zeppelin cityscape where the darkness of the night has not yet disappeared.
Even now, others are probably working hard to escape somewhere, leading their compatriots. And some of them may be struggling like they are, blocked by human forces.
As I recalled the crisis I had experienced, I couldn’t help but worry about others as well.
“I don’t know if the other side is okay… … Everyone should be safe… … ”

A half-ruined city in the southern part of Zeppelin.
There, the golden knight was raging against the blue swordsman.
“Hahaha!”
With a cheerful laugh, Yusus continued to swing his greatsword.
Eldran sprays flashes of light one after another. Wherever the light trace passes, the road melts and creates hot steam.
Russ was appalled as he saw Eldril’s light fly by more than twenty times already.
“Ah-oh! “When will that guy’s magical power run out?”
Russ also knew quite a bit about Barding Eldrad, who was from the Tenness family.
Originally, with Eldrad’s magic power reserves, the limit to using Eldril’s light was about five times.
‘So I thought if I kept avoiding it, an opportunity would come… … .’
Russ continued to run away, using his footwork to avoid the shower of light from Eldril. A flash of light hit the spot where Russ was, causing her to scream loudly.
Yusus sarcastically said.
“How long are you going to keep avoiding me, Russ?”
“Tsk!”
Despite being ridiculed, Russ continued to focus on pulling himself out.
Yusus’ movement itself has not changed much. So, it is not that difficult to hit the attack itself.
However, no matter how much destructive power is gathered to throw the Blade Aura, the golden armor, so thick that it looks like a ball of material, absorbs all the impact.
No matter how much you fight back, it won’t work, so there is no other option.
Eldril’s light passes by Russ’s left again. Deflecting her attack, Russ stabbed her sword in succession.
“Seven Stars!”
Seven auras fly like meteors and become stars in Eusus’ chest. At the very moment when the seven stars linked together and exploded, Russ immediately attacked.
“Gigantic Blade!”
The blue Blade Aura stretches out and flies towards Yussus’ breastplate. The intention was to superimpose the destructive power of the Gigantic Blade on the Seven Stars’ explosion, creating several times more destructive power.
But things did not go as Russ expected.
Eusus continued to step forward with the blue Auror star on his chest. He swings his great sword in the air and fires another flash of light.
“Howl! Eldran!”
Eldril’s Light is Yussus’s ultimate skill, and even though he did not deploy Spiral Guard, it is a terrifying skill that seriously injured Reppenhardt in one blow. It was impossible to offset it with just the Gigantic Blade, so Russ had no choice but to click his tongue and throw himself to the side.
Quaaaang!
Russ grunted as he struggled to see through the smoke of the explosion.
‘Oh, there really isn’t a gap.’
The destructive power of a single blow cannot possibly destroy Yusus’ armor. So, I planned to build up destructive power and destroy it with a series of strong blows, but even that didn’t work out as planned. As I was about to fire one shot and prepare for the next attack, the light of Eldril came flying out.
‘If we attack in various ways like before, we will have an opening… … .’
Originally, Yussus had a style that used all kinds of magic in combination to make spectacular continuous attacks.
Even from the point of view of using flashy attacks, there are quite a few loopholes. And with Russ’s current skills, he can find and dig into gaps in Yusus’ complex and diverse attacks.
However, Yusus’ current strategy was very simple. He has learned swordsmanship throughout his life and knows how to use barding, so he just rushes forward and fires the light of Eldril one after another.
With simple magic or Blade Auror’s consecutive hits, Russ can evade and counterattack at the same time, but since he hits only the strongest, he is too busy dodging and has no time to counterattack. The destructive power of the blow is so high that the aftermath alone causes considerable damage.
Russ lashed out while dodging the attack.
