Chapter 112 Departure (2)
I had no idea why he, my junior and Dier’s friend, was here.
“Seo, senior… Save me, save me…”
Even if I wanted to ask something, it wasn’t the situation considering the situation.
I’m on a boat right now. There is no way the seasickness will subside if I leave it like this.
“… “Elodie.”
I called Elodie next to me, and she sighed.
“It’s a bit difficult to do that to others.”
After saying this, Elodie concocted her magic spell, and she applied it to Pielot. But Pielot came to mind.
Perhaps due to some kind of floating magic, Pielot did not hit the walls or ceiling and stayed in the same position as we could see, even though the boat was being tossed around by the waves.
As the shaking of the ship disappeared, Pielot’s complexion improved, as if he was feeling better.
After pouring down a glass of water, Pielot spoke.
“When I saw the boat had arrived, I went inside before everyone else. And I opened a box containing food…”
After emptying it, he hid himself and closed the box.
“Why did you do that?”
“… Well, if I had offered to go with you, you would have refused.”
Of course.
Why do I have to throw my student’s bright future into the gutter?
“I think it was wrong for you to leave the empire.”
Pielot suddenly made a cool expression as the seasickness disappeared.
Of course, it is difficult to react considering the dying expressions just moments ago.
Although he was an annoying character in the game because he constantly argued with Aster, he had his own cool cool, but in this world, his image is sad.
“You said you would teach me. “I will follow the path I feel is right.”
“… I see “I understood the meaning well.”
I nodded after hearing that.
“I have nothing to teach you anymore. “You grew up wonderfully.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“… Yes?”
“Get off this ship right now and swim to the empire.”
“Senior… !”
Pielot’s expression appears to be in despair.
Selena, who was next to her, spoke with her ethereal face.
“Hey, Frondier.”
“What.”
“It won’t be easy, even for the Zodiac, to swim these waves and return to the Empire.”
We have already come a long way. Now it may be closer to Agoris.
At that distance, these huge waves. Swimming is not realistic.
Pielot probably knew that too and was hiding, but then he revealed himself.
… No, maybe I just couldn’t stand the seasickness any longer.
“That’s right.”
I nodded.
“Fly and go, Pielot.”
“Senior… !”
This time, Elo D, who was listening next to her, asked.
“Why don’t you just take her? Pielot is not that weak. “If this guy is in mortal danger, not many of us here will survive.”
Pielot nodded her head eagerly in Elodie’s defense.
That is correct. Pielot’s combat ability is very outstanding.
I know better than anyone else that you have achieved great results through training with me.
But that’s not the problem.
“Pielot.”
“Yep!”
“Did the Libanche family allow you to be here?”
“…”
Secretly avoid eye contact. Elodie’s gaze, which was defending her, also cooled at the sight.
I said.
“There is no way I would allow it. “What is your position in the Libanche family?”
A rookie in the spotlight, a genius in using Auras, and the hope of the next generation.
It is absurd that a son who is the family’s honor and pride would suddenly follow a man labeled as a devil.
“Arald.”
“Yes.”
I called Arald.
“I’m sorry, but please ask some devil and bring this guy back to the empire.”
Swimming is difficult, but a devil would be able to cover this distance and back.
Whick!
There Pielot knelt down and bowed her head deeply. If it hadn’t been floating, it would have hit the floor.
“I can’t go!”
“Do you think that would work for me?”
“Anyway, I can’t go!”
This bastard.
“My parents are worried.”
“Gwae, it’s okay! “Because I have someone to tell it to.”
“Someone to tell it to?”
“Well, because I told Dier.”
I heard those words and looked at Elodie.
“Can I hit this guy?”
“Would you like to hit it with fireworks in your fist?”
Elodie strongly agrees. Pielot spoke earnestly in the meantime.
“I must become stronger!”
“Know. “Become strong in the empire.”
“Being strong in the empire is not enough!”
“What are you talking about when everyone is getting stronger in the empire?”
“Because it’s not enough! “No one could protect you!”
Pielot’s cry. There I stopped for a moment.
Pielot lifted his head and looked at Elo D as if this was his chance.
“And Elodie ran away from home too!”
“Ugh.”
“It’s not fair to just do that to me! Senior Elodie has higher expectations than me! The Li Shae family shouldn’t be in trouble right now!”
Elodie subtly avoids gaze.
To be honest, I didn’t expect Elodie to follow me.
Of course, Ortel de Richae, the head of the Richae family, seemed to have sent Elodie away.
Because she stopped her brother Levette from going wild.
But anyway, running away from home is running away from home. It’s not that different from Pielot.
I said I had a doubt there.
“What did Dier say? “I would have stopped you.”
Dier is a guy I can trust. Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust Pielot, but he needs Dier when he has to make important decisions.
“Dier would rather come along.”
“… “That guy?”
“But he said that to me.”
─I want to go too, but I think I have to stay here.
─Because I will be needed by Aster-senpai more than Frontier-senpai.
‘… That guy.’
I laughed inwardly at Dier’s thoughts.
Just as Aster and I were separated by each other’s circumstances.
Dier may also have known this and split up with Pielot.
“… Good.”
I finally admitted and got her nod.
Even though he looks like this, Pielot is a cold-hearted guy. Seeing as how he did something like this, he must have made up his own mind.
“I allow it. But,”
I looked at Elodie instead of Pielot, whose expression brightened.
Elodie knew what I meant and snapped her fingers.
“Ugh.”
Pielot fell from her floating body.
I told him.
“You can take care of seasickness on your own.”
Pielot’s face became colder than the seasickness that hadn’t even started yet.
* * *
Fifth day of sailing.
Something I was worried about happened.
“A monster appears on the deck! “I will respond!”
“They are holding the rope and climbing up!”
Monsters of the sea. Things we had never witnessed began to attack us.
I quickly came out of the cabin and looked at the monster.
The things that came up on the deck looked as if humans had put on fish skins.
It walked on two legs and carried weapons. He was truly a human with rakes and gills.
However, its body was much larger than that of a human. He walks back and forth between two and three meters.
If you show off the power you see, most ordinary people won’t be able to respond at all.
Shhh!
Pubububung!
The magic of Elodie, who had already participated in the battle, poured out, and the demons’ aurors also shined.
I approached Elodie.
“What do you think their strength is?”
“What do you think their strength is?”
“It’s not that different from monsters on earth. The weak are weak, the strong are so-so. “The really strong one hasn’t come out yet.”
As Elodie speaks, she prepares the next drink.
With him,
“Menosorpo.”
I also join in.
My magic circle covers the entire size of the ship, and I detect enemies who enter this magic circle in detail.
‘There are some who attack in the water.’
When I sensed it, there were some that did not bother to climb up but instead attacked the bottom of the boat in the water.
This is probably not bipedal. It doesn’t seem like the ship’s protective magic can be easily breached, but it’s no good leaving it alone.
The others on deck will respond well, so I’ll go under the water first, wow!
That thought was interrupted, and I sensed something else entering the magic circle.
Rock? No, something like an island is approaching the ship.
“… !”
I raised my head and saw Elodie.
She was looking at me too. In other words, my perception was not wrong.
The direction is towards the bow of this ship.
Fault!
I put on my Aura and ran. Elodie lifted her magic spell and prepared her new chant.
‘You can’t use arrows. There’s no need to aim anyway.’
Something bigger than that and just as sharp.
Quickly prepare what you need in your right hand.
Weaving
Grade – Unique
Azier’s Spear
I jumped and held the spear in my hand at the same time. Aura pours out from the tip of the spear held.
By the time I reached the bow, Elodie’s order was complete.
Opening of spiritual power
Rudra
3 types of wind magic
Increased range, high pressure release, radiation
‘The Giant’s Fan.’
The moment Elo D clenched her right hand and swung it, a huge wind rushed out and the ship moved.
An enormous wind pushing the entire ship along with the sails. That force pulled the ship back relative to its bow.
That empty space.
Kuooooo!!
A huge island rose up from the water. It opens its mouth and exposes its body to the surface of the water with the greed to swallow the entire ship. It looks exactly like a whale, but its ridiculous size makes it no longer a whale.
Just by its appearance, the slope of the water tilts, causing the boat to heave, and I run to the end of the bow, somehow maintaining my balance on the slanted floor.
There is no need to balance if you are flying, but it is difficult to transmit force if you are not standing on the ground.
“Are you ‘outside’ the sea?”
Then, at the end of the limb, put out your last foot and step on the outer surface. All inertia is directed to the right hand holding the spear.
Quad deuk!
The black sky gathered in the aura-clad spear, mixed with Helheim’s mana and emitting a gloomy black light.
“Sigh!”
I hold my breath for a moment.
Shhh!
The spear leaves my hand and extends in a straight line.
Wow!
The whale’s head was pierced.
The guy who was vigorously opening his mouth stopped focusing,
Kwaaa!!
Just as it surfaced, it was sucked back into the water helplessly.
“… “Maybe I went a little too far.”
It was so big that I threw it away with a lot of force. If this guy was truly on the same level as the monsters outside, it was an overly aggressive attack.
But there is something I know to some extent.
“Everything in the sea is too big.”
I don’t know what the principle is, but the monsters I’m currently dealing with are generally large in size. To be precise, its body was excessively swollen compared to its power.
Of course, there are many advantages to having a large body, and it exerts greater power, but when you see a demon or Elodie dealing with it, it feels quite different from the ones on land.
Just because it’s big doesn’t necessarily mean it’s strong on land, but if something the size of a whale you just killed appeared on land, there was almost no way it would die from this blow.
“At this level, someone else can take care of it.”
I said that without thinking, but the moment I said it, an idea occurred to me.
“… “That other person doesn’t have to be ‘just anyone.’”
