Episode 138. The starting point of the waves.
I never looked down on Glazer.
I figured out their movements within the scope I thought, and was preparing a counterattack based on the information coming from the skirmishers.
‘however.’
What kind of situation is this?
Quagwang, quagwang, quagwagwang!
A meteor shower poured down from the sky.
This magic, called Meteor Rain, is a high-level skill that can only be used when five wizards of the 7th circle or higher recite the spell at the same time.
‘no way.’
Were they reading our movements?
‘furthermore.’
If they came to the castle in person, it means that they came here with the intention of destroying us.
“Hey – it’s been a while, with my two former slaves. “A knight who will be my slave from now on.”
I looked at Edward, who was smiling wickedly through the flames.
“That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know we could reach the castle this fast.”
“Ah, Strange’s matriarch should have known this, right? “It’s been a while since we came down to the south.”
“I thought you were scared and came crawling back. “I was afraid that my left arm would be cut off.”
Edward responded, waving his steel arm in the air.
“This time your head will be blown off, so I’ll give you another arm.”
relaxed.
I could tell from his reaction how prepared the operation was. It was clear that this was not something planned out of haste.
Snapping.
Gangrette behind me ground his teeth. Gangradra also took out his dagger and took a stance as if he was going to rush at him.
“I’ll take care of Edward. “I want you two to go outside the castle and deal with the person named Dictree.”
Gangrad nodded his head briefly and lightly tugged on Gangret’s wrist.
“Gangret, let’s go.”
“… All right.”
After finishing the conversation, Gangdra and Gangret moved outside the castle through the shadows.
I took a deep breath as I watched the meteor shower pouring down from the sky. I spoke to Edward, who was holding the squishy Mana in both hands.
“Can I think of you as coming to see the end?”
Edward answered me as he flew slowly through the air.
“You should decide that, not me.”
* * *
The inside and outside of Strange Castle were turned upside down by the wizards’ sudden attack.
Apparently, not only was there a phalanx made of Aurors in this area, but a barrier created by Strange’s guardian spirit was preventing the enemy from invading.
How on earth were they able to access this place without anyone noticing?
Boom, Quagwagwang!
The meteor shower that fell on top of the castle struck the Great Bell, a symbol of peace in the south.
Daaeaeaeang!
The sound of the bell used for congratulations and condolences rang clearly and spread throughout Strange’s territory.
“Everyone should stick together and use spells instead of scattering. Anyway, knights can’t even attack if they don’t get close!”
Dictree raised his staff above his head and shouted loudly. The wizards who received his orders poured out so much magic that it felt like there was no gap between spells.
Strange’s knights counterattacked them with auras on their shields to block the magic.
A fight between two families so powerful that they could turn the continent upside down in a single day, creating countless casualties less than ten minutes after it began.
“I guess we should stop at that meteor first.”
Valentine descended Bae Hu-ryeong. Angel-like wings spread behind her back, attracting everyone’s attention.
Sigh!
Her appearance not only attracted attention, but also began to block the pouring meteor shower with abilities that surpassed human limitations.
-Caw, caw, caw!
Hundreds and thousands of crows flew out of the forest and threw themselves into the magic. This caused the meteor shower to shatter in the air before it even fell.
Quagwang!
“Beth, I must go to stop Fenrir. In the meantime, find those who use group chanting magic and stop that meteor shower.”
Beth answered, raising her razor-colored sword high up to her chest.
“Yes, Valentine.”
The war quickly intensified.
Screams and moans erupted from everywhere.
Who is good and who is evil? The answer to this will be given to the side that wins today. Because no matter what you want, only the winner can record history. That is war, and many people risk their lives to fight for it.
“Let’s go, Gangret.”
“Yes, brother.”
Gangradra held a dagger in both hands and lunged at Diktree.
At the same time, Ganggrat also flew up with black smoke flowing from both hands, making them look like warlocks controlling the darkness.
As the energy of the two spread across the battlefield, Dictree quickly scanned the surroundings.
“no?!”
They made subtle changes in their expressions as if they knew each other.
But there was no conversation. The battle simply took place as blue mana and black mana collided with each other.
Quang!

I had a close fight with Edward.

He had no restrictions on his movements, as if the injury he had received from me not long ago was nothing. His body movements also showed a smoother and faster appearance than before. Could it be that the battle in the canyon a few days ago was hiding its true power?
‘No.’
He wouldn’t have done that in a real fight, where even the slightest mistake could result in his head being blown off. Both then and now, in a battle as intense as this, it would not be strange if one of the two died.
If your skills are superior to your opponent’s, you may be hiding your strength for a moment when you can win.
But he couldn’t have been stronger than me, and if I hadn’t shown him mercy back then, Edward wouldn’t be here now.
‘however.’
How did the person in front of me grow so quickly?
Kaaaaang!
Edward’s mana-filled steel arm blocked my sword.
“Try to turn up the heat, Verdin.”
He looked at me with a wry smile.
I calmly pushed him away with the tip of my sword and controlled the distance. I wasn’t sure what Edward wanted exactly, but one thing was certain.
‘He wants to close the distance between me and me.’
I think his winnings may lie within him.
I didn’t show my command and only used my sword until I figured out his intentions.
“That’s strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“Of course, wizards try to fight at a distance from their enemies as much as possible, but now you are doing your best to stick with me at all costs.”
“… … .”
“Whether it was intentional or not, it doesn’t matter because I will only fight within my range anyway. Your sacrificial fighting methods will surely lead to death in the short term. “You probably know this too, but it’s strange that you keep trying.”
Edward shrugged.
“so?”
Unlike a few days ago when I fought him, I held the two-handed sword with one hand.
“I don’t know if you’re bluffing me, or if you’re really trying to get close to me.”
He continued speaking while making a squishy mana in one hand.
“Know that no matter what you try, you won’t be able to return alive this time.”
“… Good, good. I also wanted to compete with you this time. “How great would it be to be able to fight like this until one of you dies?”
“You can’t win against me.”
“I thought so too, right? The day I was defeated and frustrated by you. “A very interesting item was found in our Glazer’s library.”
“Fun stuff?”
“Yes, it’s one of the items our ancestors left behind a very long time ago. “There is a very mysterious and powerful spell written on it that mixes magic and magic to create new magic?”
Brunhild trembled on my shoulder.
Looking at her embarrassed expression, I don’t think she intended it to happen.
Didn’t you say that the last time you visited Castle Glazer, you burned all the information about him?
Brunhild whispered so softly that only I could hear.
“That guy, I don’t think he’s bluffing.”
I could tell that much just by looking at the flow of the conversation.
I didn’t answer her, but kept my eyes on Edward.
“Mixing magic with magic?”
“Yes, I think it’s the same as the purple energy you use. Just as you can use both Aura and Mana powers at the same time. “I use mana and other mana to create new power.”
Holding thick mana in both hands, he trembled as if he was shivering, and then looked at me with an expression as if he were possessed by something.
“First, I will take revenge on the right arm you took from me.”
Edward lunged at me.
A deadly force so powerful that it reached the sky spread out in all directions, and although it was only a brief moment, it succeeded in creating an opening for me.
If someone had watched our fight, they would have said this upon seeing this blow.
‘Verdin lost.’
I had no choice but to blink once, and Edward’s steel arm was already stuck to my chin, creating a situation where the outcome was already known without being told.
Whoa whoa!
‘It’s awesome.’
It was like a perfect martial artist’s fist, reminiscent of Veratir’s blow.
I never thought my jaw would turn without even being able to swing the sword.
What kind of spell did Edward use to strengthen his body so rapidly?
I was amazed at his amazing growth.
If someone found out about my thoughts like this, they would probably call me crazy.
‘Congratulations on finally landing a proper attack on me, Edward.’
As my congratulatory gift, I will give you hell from now on.
Flutter!
The blade of my sword flew out of my blind spot and pierced Edward’s left chest.
Since the target was aimed precisely at the heart, it was impossible to avoid a fatal wound.
dump.
I fell to the ground first.
“Ugh.”
Edward then sat down, holding the sword in his chest.
thud.
Is it because I got hit squarely in the chin? I tried to get up, but the world seemed shaken.
However, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t move my body.
Trudging.
With my vision unsteady, I forced myself to stand up and approached Edward.
I struggled to pull out the sword stuck in my chest, but the blade was so deeply embedded that it caused even more pain every time I touched the handle.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
I looked down at Edward and made an Auror blade in my hand.
Shhh, profit-.
“It’s over, Edward.”
It’s a shame that he can’t use his power to deal with the dragon, but since it’s like this, he has no choice but to kill it.
I pulled out my Auror blade behind my back. I will cut off his head no matter how many hearts he has.
The winner of this fight has already been decided.
‘huh?’
It was then.
Just as I was about to cut off Edward’s head.
Ssssssssssssshhhh!
A frighteningly ominous energy emanated from Edward’s body.
“Wow!”
wrapped around his body.
