chapter 48
The reaction that moved violently while still having internal injuries came quickly.
“Is the footwork over?”
The man, who was still standing in the same place with his shield wide open, without moving even a single step, said as if he was not impressed.
“················ Anne! No!”
Anne beat the clan members and ran towards the chieftain.
“Hey boy, even if you want to run away…”
“Noisy! What the hell is this! Why do you keep doing it all by yourself?”
With tears in her eyes, she struggled to support the lost chieftain.
The man who had been watching the struggle with subdued eyes stretched out his hand slowly.
A huge flame rose in the air and swept the two of them like a wave.
Whoa!
The other tribe members who were running away watched the scene in vain.
The man turned around. For once, all the other Haerin tribes were to be dealt with.
“··········································································?!”
But soon he had no choice but to narrow his brow and turn his head back.
A man stood where the flames and smoke had gone.
Whatever was blocking the flame, he and the other two Haerin were not able to do any damage.
Anne, who was sitting down, looked up at him blankly.
“theory······.”
A young human male with black hair and golden eyes.
He didn’t even feel a sign of approaching from where he suddenly appeared.
At that fact, the man asked with a sense of humility.
“Who are you?”
***
. . . was breathtaking.
I fixed my gaze on the man in front of me and sighed in relief.
While moving in the wagon, I suddenly felt a huge amount of magical power, so I hurriedly came back. What the hell is this?
I was able to block the attack by using space leaps from a long distance away, but…
【Lv. 91]
The situation was absolutely the worst.
I know who he is.
If I remembered that crazy level and the story the chieftain told me, I could guess it very easily.
‘The Sorcerer’s Master of the Imperial Family, Rakiul.’
Have you been chasing the Haerin people all the way here?
The man who was silently staring at me opened his mouth.
“Who are you?”
Instead of answering, I glanced at Chief Anne, who was lying behind her.
Ahh… that’s really crazy.
I couldn’t let him die, so I took a reflex, but now he and I are confronting each other.
I swear to myself as I looked at the shield spread around him.
‘Fuck.’
If you spread the shield like that, there’s no way you can rely on an instant kill. It was my fatal weakness.
If the battle took place like this, the best thing I could do was defend and run away.
“If you don’t want to talk…”
The man raised his magic again.
In an instant, many thoughts ran through my mind.
How about continuing to defend? or run away? Then what about the rest of the Haerin people? Should I reveal myself as a monarch? Then will he believe it?
It was then that the sound of laughter was heard from the other side of the forest.
Everyone’s eyes turned to it.
“Wow, what the hell is this?”
It was a woman with red hair that came out through the bushes.
When I saw her appearance, I was astonished, and the wizard’s complexion also hardened. He murmured in a bewildered voice.
“·······Gwangrang?”
5 Lords Frenzy.
Even so, her sudden appearance in a chaotic situation made me even more confused.
Gwangrang giggled as he looked at the wizard’s hand reaching out to me and said.
“Arthur, you are a magician.
Haerin’s Treasure (2)
In the stillness of silence, the wizard looked at me alternately with Gwangrang.
There was no leeway in his appearance until a while ago.
Why the hell is the 5th Lord here?
It seemed that he did not understand this situation as well. The doubts, tensions, and feelings of disappointment reflected on his face were clearly visible.
‘Where did it really come from?’
I sighed inwardly and looked at her.
I don’t know how things are going, but it seems that the immediate crisis has passed.
Even if it’s just like a stranger, Gwangrang is an ally of the same camp. Now it was the wizard master, not me, who was cornered.
“Are you going to fight, 5th lord?”
The man opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.
It was a tone that felt close to resignation rather than a warning or threat.
No matter how strong he may be called the magician of the Seintea Imperial family, the Calderic lord is a higher rank than that. Even a simple level difference is a whopping 4 levels.
If the madman was going to kill the wizard, there was no way he could survive here.
But she shook her head.
“It’s the other way around, you idiot. I didn’t even know thank you for letting me dry it at the best.”
“·······What is that?”
“Do you know who the person you are facing right now is?”
Gwangrang shook his head and asked me.
“By the way, I don’t know what you were doing in the 1st monarchy, 7th lord. Did you come here to fish?”
At those words, the wizard looked at me with astonished eyes.
I made eye contact with Gwangrang without answering anything.
“·······New Seven Lords? Killed the power?”
I heard him mumble.
did you know
After all, the death of one person in Ohseong must have been a huge event in Seintea.
At first, I was a prisoner of the convoy, and coincidentally, a new monarch was born in Calderic when the convoy was attacked.
Unless you are an idiot, Seintea’s side would have figured out who the culprit was, based on the circumstances and investigation.
Of course, even if I did, it didn’t mean anything.
Even if Seintea and Calderic still formed a temporary alliance against a huge enemy called the Demons, that was only superficial. Behind the scenes, countless armed conflicts are still taking place.
It was impossible to lead him to a political problem even if he had physical evidence and heartbreak, unless he really killed him openly.
And in the first place, it’s not that he should be concerned about that, but his own well-being.
‘······· By the way, it was dried?’
I stared at the lighthouse and fell in thought.
From what she says, it seems that she has no intention of fighting the wizard chief, but I can’t figure out why.
In Calderic’s realm, he encountered great power on the side of Seintea.
Especially if she enjoys fighting, isn’t there any reason to let her go?
“That guy is the sorcerer of the Imperial family of Seintea, the 7th lord. Are you going to kill me?”
Gwangrang asked me.
I wondered how to answer.
It was difficult to affirm because she seemed unwilling to intervene in the battle. It is difficult to answer yes or no.
In this case, the answer is to just hold on to the weight and remain silent. Then the other person will just interpret it for you.
Gwangrang seemed to interpret my silence as a positive meaning.
She scratched her hair and said with a curious expression.
“Hey, 7th lord. I don’t know what’s going on, but can we just skip this one time?”
In the words that followed, I could see why she didn’t want to fight the wizard chief.
“Because I lost one light to that wizard a while ago. So if I want to kill him, I can’t just stand still.”
······Debt?
They seemed to know each other somehow, but was there such a relationship between Gwangrang and the wizard? It’s information that wasn’t even in the game.
I opened my mouth, narrowing my brow.
“What if you won’t let me go?”
To that, Gwangrang replied with a chuckle.
“Did I tell you? I’m not going to just stand still.”
“············”.
I glanced back again.
I could see the patriarch lying on the floor with a pale complexion, and Anne crying holding him.
His pulse, which felt like a supersensory, was weak as if it would break at any moment.
“Calm down, please…!”
To be honest, it was a good thing.
Just do what she says and let him run away.
Then there was no risk I could bear, and the Haerin people were safe. By the way······.
‘········Why is it so annoying.’
The chief is sad, but there is nothing he can do about it.
It was meaningless for me to hold on to the wizard chief here more, and it was stupid that only made the situation worse.
However, perhaps because of the spirit of the king, after possessing this body, there were times when the reason and the mouth played separately.
Now the mouth has had an accident again.
“Are you going to die together, 5th lord?”
“············”.
At those words, the pupils of the wild were split vertically like that of a wild beast.
Then she twisted the corners of her mouth and slowly took her hand to the hilt of the greatsword on her back.
“…you don’t have to.”
At that moment, the chief’s dreary voice crushed the sharp atmosphere.
The members of the tribe, who had been observing the situation with their breaths stopped, suddenly came to their senses and gathered around the chieftain.
“Hey, Grandpa….”
I stared intently at the brilliance and turned around.
The chief coughed and barely spoke.
“Ron, I’m sorry, but can I ask you one last thing?”
As if foreshadowing the end, he seemed to leave his final will.
“I want you to protect the human sorcerer from harming the tribe… until everyone enters the lake. That’s all.”
Anyway, the wizard had no choice but to step down as it was, so it was a promise to keep.
I sighed and answered.
“Don’t worry.”
“········Thank you. And Anne.”
She was sobbing and shook her head helplessly.
“After all, this place has become my grave.”
“············”.
“Don’t think about revenge anyway. It was only a few days left anyway. It’s a pity that I couldn’t return to my hometown sea in the end… but that’s okay too. There’s no need for everyone to be angry or sad.”
“Ugh, uhhh…”
“When I die, bury my body in the ground, and release the crystals in the lake. So that I can ride the river and flow to the sea…”
His voice, which had been sparsely speaking with open eyes, gradually faded. And there were no more words.
The members of the tribe who had listened to his will closed their eyes one by one as if mourning his death. Anne was weeping endlessly with empty eyes.
shit.
Not long after, the chief’s chest ripped open, revealing a blue jewel from within.
Anne reached out and slowly picked it up.
The wizard, who was watching the scene, widened his eyes.
“Magic Crystal….”
A crystal formed by the fusion of the magical powers accumulated over a lifetime. The essence of pure magic.
A treasure from the heavens that cannot be artificially created for wizards.
Anne turned her head and looked at him as if to kill him.
“Only because of this one stone!”
He cried out in a shriveled voice.
“Half of the earth already belongs to you humans! You conquered and took possession of the land, resources, and everything in abundance!”
“············”.
“By the way, when are you going to be satisfied?! How much more do you have to take to be satisfied?”
“It is a treasure of no use to you.”
The wizard opened his mouth, narrowing his brow.
“And you’re talking really foolishly, the Haerin people. We humans are the ones who have finally saved this continent in the long and long war. The hero beheaded the demon king and finally stopped the invasion of the evil demons. The peace of this land so far Whose power do you think it is that is being kept intact?
“Magician.”
I jumped in and stopped talking.
“Shut up and shut down when you give me a chance to live.”
He drooled and looked at me.
I was more sarcastic because I felt dirty.
