“Lord, kill me!”
“Don’t let the magic complete!”
The mercenaries became thoughtful and swung their swords one after another. Of course, it still didn’t help. This guy’s body can’t be cut at all! At that time, Clonto, who completed the spell first, shouted.
“… … I, the Great Flame, minister! Fire blaster!”
A ray of fire cut through the desert heat and shot towards Reppenhardt. The mercenaries were startled and flew in all directions. The pillar of flame broke through and hit Reppenhardt exactly.
Quaaaang!
A huge explosion occurred. Thick black smoke rose from every corner. One of the mercenaries muttered indifferently.
“Lord, are you dead?”
It was then. Thick forearms protruded through the black smoke. The lumpy fingers are bent in strange positions, and blue electricity crackles and swirls through them.
A serious voice was heard.
“Go out, son of heaven. Strike my enemy! Chain Lightning!”
Quack!
Lightning struck the dry sky.
A huge snake of lightning swallows its prey one after another. Blue lightning discharged in all directions, hitting dozens of mercenaries in succession. It was a sight as if a huge net of lightning had struck the mercenaries’ heads. A powerful electric shock struck the sand, striking more than twenty mercenaries in an instant. A terrible scream rang out.
“Ugh!”
“Keuuuuck!”
“Aaaahhh!”
It was Abi Gyu-hwan.

The smell of burning meat stings my nose. Bright continued to blink. He couldn’t believe the sight before his eyes.
“… … .”
At his feet, more than twenty mercenaries lay charred corpses. The only ones who survived were Bright and his original subordinates from Chrome City. They were the only ones who could not attack Reppenhardt out of fear and barely escaped that nightmarish attack.
From behind, Clonto’s muttering full of incomprehension is heard.
“What, what, is that? “How on earth did you perfect the magic?”
It was not surprising that the opponent had killed more than twenty people with a single magic blow. It is common knowledge that a high-ranking wizard’s spell has this level of power.
So all the mercenaries rushed in to desperately try to disrupt the spell. The attack didn’t even fail. I stabbed, slashed, and slashed hard. All attacks were executed correctly. however… … .
“… … “Why doesn’t it die even when hit with a knife?”
Clonto just kept blinking. It was amazing that he was able to deflect a sword with his bare body, and that monster even withstood his magic and fire blaster with his bare body. A powerful spell that can instantly turn a large wagon into charcoal with just one hit!
“… … .”
There was cold silence under the hot sun. Bright, Clonto, and the few surviving mercenaries were all looking at Reppenhardt with their mouths wide open. The situation went so far beyond common sense that my thinking seemed to stop for a moment.
Meanwhile, Repenhardt continued to grumble as if he was dissatisfied with such powerful magic.
“Ugh, if things had gone the way they were, everything should have been reduced to charcoal… … As expected, there is a huge lack of magical power.”
Additionally, the casting speed is not satisfactory. The person in his 20s or 30s who was stabbed while chanting a spell seemed to have been hit. In my past life, I could easily cast a spell like Chain Lightning with just one starter word. It seemed like I would have to continue to be indebted to Eleusion’s voice for a while.
‘Well, it’s still at the level I expected.’
He clenched his fists and grinned. It was a magic trick that I pretended to be crazy, relying on my strong body. Reppenhardt himself knows better that he is not yet at the level to use the 6th circle magic, Chain Lightning, in actual combat.
It was a simple test. His theory was that although magic power calculation and charging were very poor thanks to this cheap-looking Testron head(?), areas related to the soul, such as concentration and magic control sense, would still survive. But like all theories, it is only a hypothesis unless it is actually proven. I was a little anxious because I had not been able to use magic in real life, but when I tried it, my senses responded quite well.
‘Is it okay to put up a wizard sign again at this level?’
Satisfied, Repenhardt looked at Bright and Clonto. Then I suddenly saw Siris taking her guard stance next to the fallen scimitar. Reppenhardt signed again and chanted the spell.
“I am the great minister of Mana, and by that power I reap what is sown. Dispel Magic.”
A green flash shot from her fingertips and enveloped her fallen scimitar. The weight-increasing spell on her scimitar was lifted, returning it to its original weight. Siris quickly retrieved her weapon. Clonto muttered in shock.
“Huh, how can I use my magic so easily?”
Although the circle itself is not very high, dispel magic, a magic removal spell, is a magic that can only be done if you can clearly understand the magical power pattern, technique, and flow of the opponent’s magic. Surprisingly, that young wizard was a wizard of a higher level than himself, who had devoted himself to magic for nearly 50 years. Looking at the speed of casting spells and the power of chain lightning, I was painfully aware of how big of a mistake it had been to think that they were at a similar level to me.
Of course, this actually means that Reppenhardt’s current state is quite unbalanced, but there is no way for Clonto to know that. Clonto’s will to fight was immediately broken by Repenhardt’s ability to blow away his spell in one go.
he shouted in fear.
“Are you doing this because of those elves? If so, I’ll give it to you! “Take it all!”
He still believed that Reppenhardt had been greedy and attacked the elves they had. Well, given the situation, it’s natural that no other reason comes to mind. Bright also shouted as if he finally came to his senses.
“I’ll give it to you!”
“I do not need!”
“… … yes?”
No, then why us? Bright opened his mouth wide, unable to understand the situation at all. Reppenhardt stepped forward, his complexion hardening.
Suddenly he asked.
“How many did you kill?”
Bright responded with a trembling voice.
“… … “Who do you say we killed?”
“I mean, how many elves did you kill?”
For a moment, Bright and the others looked at each other with wide eyes. No, why are you suddenly asking how many elves I killed? Bright answered cautiously.
“I think there are about one to forty… … .”
They even exaggerated the numbers a bit, wondering if they would see their skills and make them their subordinates. Repenhardt sighed at his response, which was even slightly boastful. I don’t even feel anger anymore.
“Yeah, that’s right… … .”
At that moment, an eerie brilliance flashed in Reppenhardt’s eyes.
“Then now I will take their blood money!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his fist split the air. Bright’s head exploded.
Pow!
The flesh and brains flutter like flower petals on the desert sand. The moment Clonto and the others widened their eyes in shock, Repenhardt’s body flew into the air.
☆ ☆ ☆
Loud explosions rang out one after another. Golden auras flew in all directions, followed by magical flames and lightning. It didn’t take much time for the murderous Leffenhardt to kill those who had lost their will to fight. Everyone is unable to resist properly and is just dying.
“Ahh!”
“Ahh!”

“Uuuuuuuck!”
In the land of martyrs echoing with screams, and in the sight of carnage filling his field of vision, Clonto just stood there in a daze, moaning.
“Ugh… … .”
I felt like my mind was empty. None of the great magic words I had worked so hard to remember came to mind. Only overwhelming fear fills my mind. I didn’t even dare to think about rebelling.
But even in the midst of all this, there was a question that could not be resolved.
“why… … .”
The number of mercenaries is gradually decreasing. Every time it touches that cruel man’s fist, it turns into blood clots and scatters all over the desert.
“… … “Why on earth?”
I couldn’t understand. The young man in front of me truly possessed tremendous strength. A martial arts skill that treats worn-out mercenaries like children, a level of magic that is higher than that of the person who devoted his entire life to it? It was an unbelievable sight to see. When only one well is not enough, he is able to fulfill two completely different fields, and that too at such a young age!
‘Such a ridiculous monster… … .’
And what I don’t understand even more is… … .
‘Why on earth are they trying to kill us like that?’
“Gagging!”
One of the few remaining mercenaries died again, screaming in despair. Leppenhardt’s eyes were filled with flickering flames as he threw his body back. The unmistakable light of hatred that bloomed in those eyes. But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t remember doing anything to deserve that much hate.
After taking out the last mercenary, Reppenhardt turned his attention to Clonto. Although he was preparing for the magic, the wizard just stood there blankly with a dazed look on his face until all the mercenaries turned into corpses. Well, it’s natural. If someone had the mental power and concentration to be able to cast a spell properly even when thrown into a situation like this, there would be no way they would have stayed in the 6th circle at that age.
Reppenhardt leapt forward and rushed right in front of Clonto. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the slender wizard’s neck. Now, if you just apply a light amount of force, this mushy neck will break in an instant.
“bye.”
I was just about to tighten my grip.
“Now, wait a minute!”
Clonto seemed to have finally come to his senses and shouted one word. A deep sneer appeared on Repenhardt’s lips.
“Are you begging for your life?”
Those who mercilessly took the lives of the elves still think their own lives are precious, right? With contempt, Leffenhardt was about to strangle Clonto.
Clonto gathered all his remaining strength and continued shouting.
“Please tell me why I die!”
“… … under?”
Leffenhardt laughed without realizing it. The strength of his grip also weakened slightly.
‘As expected, a wizard… … .’
Normally, I would have strangled him right away without even bothering to confront him. But the opponent was a wizard.
A wizard is a creature that lives and dies by curiosity, and even when his life is at stake, having unanswered questions is more important than the threat to his life. Repenhardt was also a magician who reached the peak. I can understand that feeling more keenly than anyone else.
‘Yes, at least you can tell me the reason for death.’
Leffenhardt slowly relaxed his strength and answered slowly.
“I probably said it clearly earlier. “I will accept the blood price of the dead elves.”
Sure enough, Clonto made an expression of astonishment. The expression on his face was as if he was saying something crazy. Well, it’s something I’ve been watching for a long time, so I’m not really impressed.
However, perhaps because he is a wizard, his reaction is a little different from other guys.
“… … “Were there any humans among those elves?”
Could it be that an acquaintance of this young man was caught up in their battle and died? If so, Iza’s anger is understandable. This was the most likely thing that Clonto could come up with based on common sense.
But Reppenhardt mercilessly denied his question.
“I definitely said I would accept the blood of the elves.”
“Then you really did this because you killed the elf? “Where in the world is there a law like this?”
Clonto raised his voice, saying it was extremely unfair. Repenhardt smiled bitterly.
“Of course, there is no such ‘law’ in the world yet. But just because there is no ‘law’ doesn’t mean elves can die like that!”
For a moment, Repenhardt’s expression distorted.
“You didn’t even feel it while you were killing the elves? Were they truly beasts? “Did you not feel anything while killing those who thought, felt and acted like humans?”
Clonto’s expression wrinkled.
“You’re crazy… … Just because they speak and act like humans, does that mean we should treat them like humans?”
“I think he’s much more humane than you guys who go wild because of greed. You must be a wizard. “Then you would know.”
Reppenhardt asked a question in a cold tone.
“What is the difference between man and beast?”
Clonto swallowed. The grip on his neck was getting stronger. It was clear that if I answered carelessly here, my neck would be broken right away. He stuttered.
“People are beings who think for themselves. “A person is someone who has reason to know that the invisible exists, doubts even his own ego, pursues the value of life beyond instinct, and fears the approach of an invisible death.”
This is a philosophical answer that every wizard learned as a child. Reppenhardt nodded his head.
“Then, is there a single thing about elves that doesn’t fall under those criteria?”
Gritting his teeth, Clonto answered quickly.
“Among humans, there are many who are not human. Among humans, there are some who live as slaves because of their own sins. Even elves are a race born to be slaves. “Are you denying slavery itself?”
