Episode. Chapter 48
Alan and the wizards walked for a long time.
Without any means of transportation, I crossed the kingdom on my own feet.
It was because you never know when and where Marx’s hounds will appear.
50 elite mages who took refuge in Laplace.
Marx could not leave them alone.
“As expected, it was correct.”
When Alan and his party had just left the border, some assailants blocked their way.
A dragon pattern was engraved on the hem of the robe that covered his face.
The man in the lead bent his back.
“Meet the family lineage, Master Alan. As you may already know, we are a killing squad that punishes traitors under the command of the family head.”
The wind blew.
The deeply pressed robe fluttered in an instant.
Their faces, exposed beneath them, were stained black.
“Did you decide to join Laplace after all, Bocchan?”
“If you answer yes, do you intend to punish me as well?”
“… … .”
The Slayers took out their staffs and held them.
“There was an instruction to bring the young master to the family.”
The man’s voice was soft.
But even that momentum was not smooth.
“However, when traces of darkness are engraved on you. There was also a message calling for an immediate judgment.”
“Hoo.”
Alan nodded.
I opened my arms and exposed my body.
“Are there traces of darkness on my body? Take a closer look.”
“… … Do you know how heartbroken the patriarch is?”
Hounds wielding staffs growled.
Was it funny?
Alan let out a low laugh.
“Heartbroken.”
Mana began to spurt from him as he lowered his head.
“Are you as heartbroken as I am? I have to burn my father and family with my own hands.”
Blazing-
The torch burned on the mana flow.
“… … !”
To those who believed in the darkness, the torch looked like the fire of hell.
A magic circle was created in an instant in front of their wands.
an imminent situation.
Leaving the hounds baring their teeth behind, Alan looked back at the wizards behind him.
“This is the flame that judges heresy. It is the power that Hor has bestowed upon me, who lacks the qualifications as a judge.”
The flames swelled.
It’s big enough to swallow an entire area.
“The torch clearly distinguishes between black and white, so those who are stained with evil will never escape punishment.”
A strange thing happened.
The 50 wizards exclaimed at the power of the torch.
He looked at the flames that clung to his body with awe-inspiring eyes.
But the hounds were different.
“Quaaagh!”
The wand melted.
The clothes were stuck to the skin.
The blackened flesh burned white.
To those whose minds and bodies were consumed by darkness.
The torch was exactly what they saw, hellfire itself.
“Fellow believers who see light as light. I want you too to inherit this fire.”
The judge who burned all the cults to death said so to the mages.
The establishment of the Heresy Judgment Unit was the first step.
◈ ◈ ◈
Sword Saint’s first secret skill, Explosive Star.
The destructive power that Balak showed is still deeply embedded in my mind even after several days have passed.
Is that why?
In the end, I heard what Alyssa said.
“Write! Disciple, is your mind going somewhere else today?”
“no.”
“You dare lie in front of me?”
Alisa swung her staff around.
It looked like it was going to hit me in the head any moment, so I hesitated and stepped back.
“This guy is like a reed. Whenever you said you were interested in magic, did you go blind just because you saw one!”
Behind her, stamping her feet in anger, an old man gave a thumbs up.
It was Balak who had a happy expression on his face.
But there was no time to pay attention to that person.
“I can’t hide my disappointment! I even gave you my favorite staff as a gift… … .”
I slightly lowered my gaze.
A handsome cane was clutched in his hand.
This was the gift she gave me.
‘Ugh… … I don’t even get angry.’
I gave my lover a brand-name product with a big heart, but isn’t it like he is messing around with another woman?
There was no case like this.
“Master. I was wrong. We will make sure this never happens again.”
“joy! The wand seems to be an undeserved gift to you. Give it here.”
Ahh. It doesn’t seem like he’s usually angry.
The hand that pretended to reach out was very firm.
At this point, the wand wasn’t the problem, and he didn’t know that he might not be able to learn magic at all.
“Forgive me, Master. It is time for this disciple to lack one strength. That’s why the swordsman’s secret energy seems to have touched me even more.”
“Then focus on swordsmanship. My teaching to you seems like a waste of time.”
Mmm.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in such an embarrassing situation.
However, Balak started fanning the burning house.
“The King of Laplace said the right thing! Disciple, at this point, let’s practice bigi or practice all day long! You can reach the peak with just the Sword Saint!”
He walked over and put his hand on my shoulder.
It was only natural that Alyssa’s eyes grew fiercer.
“now! let’s go Today, I’ll unravel the mystery of the explosion a little more and explain it!”
“Put down your wand before you go!”
Balak grabbed my hand and pulled me.
Alisa grabbed my left hand.
Being caught between the two was literally to death.
“after… … .”
In the end, I decided to use the last resort.
Saaa-
Light ran through the body.
The grip of the two people who were pulling at my arms with the force of tearing them down faded.
‘To think he even took out a halo for something like this.’
I was overcome with a sense of shame, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“Master Alisa. I want to learn magic. If you don’t mind, you can confirm my sincerity.”
Alyssa flinched.
Having become a believer, she could not escape the halo’s profound influence.
Anger will fade, and kindness will dwell in your heart.
“… … If you think about something else in my time one more time, you won’t see it again. I am a jealous person.”
Halo therapy was successful.
The sound of Balak clicking his tongue was annoying, but he tried to ignore it.
“Come on, Master. Can you tell me about multicasting? This disciple needs Master’s teaching.”
“joy… … I don’t mind saying these things with my own mouth, but I should keep in mind that this body is not a person to be ignored anywhere.”
Ah yes Not so.
As she affirmed it with all her heart, the corners of her mouth twitched.
◈ ◈ ◈
The eventful magic training was over, and Balak’s training was finished.
Somehow, today I felt more tired than usual.
The description of explosion is compression and explosion.
All star explosions are bound to cause huge shocks, so it was safe to say that it was a one-hit kill technique.
‘I guess I’m impatient.’
No, to be honest, I was really impatient.
With the battle against the formidable enemy of Marx ahead, it is not strange that his eyes are drawn to the violence.
I had to get stronger as soon as possible so that I could reduce the damage to my allies and count more cases.
But that was not a reason to neglect magic.
‘What’s the point of asking me to teach you magic first?’
He closed his eyes and soothed his exhausted body.
I was having a time of reflection on my own.
The staff in his hand helped the circulation of mana.
It was said that it possessed the ability to assist meditation.
“Whoa… … .”
He took a deep breath and inhaled again.
‘Let’s not be in a hurry. What am I going to do if I am not someone else?’
According to Shinan, Laplace’s fabricated scandal spread beyond the southern continent to the northern continent.
The rumor spread in such a short time must be because Marx breathed on it.
The more I checked what the outside gaze toward Laplace was like.
The more we look at the sight of Marx immersed in sinful darkness.
My heart kept going faster and faster without realizing it.
But that didn’t work.
Because Laplace is trying to trust and depend on me, ‘Hor’.
The nobles urged the people to believe, and the people longed for hope in Hor.
A heavy pressure pressed against my shoulders.
‘Demon King, it’s nothing more than entertainment for you.’
He just imitates me and enjoys religious games.
This insignificant futility was just a bad taste to provoke me.
There’s no way to be swayed by such things one by one.
I needed to repay the faith of my followers, and I had a reason to overcome this pressure.
‘Let’s stay centered. Can I use it only when I’m shaken?’
war against heresy.
He calmly greeted the eve of the storm that was approaching.
◈ ◈ ◈
Calgos stared at his father, who closed his eyes.
Abi’s face, which looked quite calm, seemed like he hadn’t seen it in quite a while.
『… … .』
I wanted to know what he was thinking.
Are you cursing the demon king inside? Will they ever regret having created them?
Yes, I guess. It’s obvious.
From noble mtl dot com
Calgos tore the corners of his mouth up like a habit.
But the eyes were just dark.
[I would have thought that the being you called your father was Hor.]
At that time, Albert’s voice was heard from behind.
Just as Calgos was curious about his father’s thoughts, Albert wanted to know what Calgos was thinking.
Those eyes, the eyes that looked at the enemy, were dead.
However, the eyes that looked at the person he admired were greatly twisted somewhere.
love and hate
Calgos’s eyes contained love and hatred.
[I hoped… … .]
One God, Hor.
In other words, the father of all things.
Albert had always been in denial.
No, all of my colleagues from a thousand years ago were like that.
Because I believed there was no reason for Hor to make ‘evil’ like Calgos.
I have lived my life thinking that evil is evil because Hor did not create it.
“Did you know that now, you idiot?”
“My father didn’t say anything wrong.”
『You guys are always slow to notice.』
Calgos turned to Albert.
Even copying the words of his father, the giant did not laugh.
In a way, it was like seeing the giant’s expressionless expression for the first time.
[…] … Right.]
He was the one who dared to interfere with the conversation with the god, but the hero had compassion for the giant.
[There is nothing as pitiful as an abandoned child.]
[Darkness came from the light, so you guys are not taken care of.]
father! Daddy!!
The battlefield of the Holy Demon War was always filled with their voices.
The anger, jealousy and piercing longing in it was of an unforgettable kind.
Evil beings from birth.
So it seems they have been abandoned since then.
The cry, which was thought to be uttered because it was the incarnation of anger, was only the wailing of the abandoned.
[Did you want a favor?]
[Did you really care?]
Albert’s eyes widened.
At the look of pity, the giant’s face crumpled like a piece of paper.
