125 – Rescue Request 2
In the middle of Minerva Forest.
“X feet!”
Quaang!
Unable to hold back his anger, Baltos struck a tree.
“What should I do!!”
The situation was the worst.
Having been chased by Simon for several days already, mana and body fatigue accumulated to the limit.
Isaac said as he was venting his anger in the midst of a desperate crisis.
“Valtos, I understand how you feel, but don’t be loud. Simon will find out.”
“Whoa… What about Milia?”
At his question, Isaac turned his gaze to examine Milia’s condition.
“… poison.”
“Haa, can you decipher it?”
“I tried using the potions I had, but I don’t know if they will work.”
At Isaac’s words, Valtos’ face contorted even more ferociously.
“That son of a b*tch, next time I see you, I’ll kill you.”
“Let’s go back at once.”
“Let’s go inside? Are you crazy?”
Valtos rebelled against Isaac’s words.
“Didn’t you just send a message to Einhart? We’ll have to decipher Millia as soon as rescue arrives.”
“Don’t underestimate Simon. He’s already built a siege around him and has a rough idea of our location.”
“Then what shall we do?”
In the end, Baltos, unable to hold back his anger, raised his voice and spoke.
“If you go further than this, someone will detoxify Milia! If you go further in now, do you think Milia can survive!?”
“…then what do you mean?”
Isaac thinks he needs to be calm, but it’s hard to keep his composure as Baltos continues to raise his voice.
“As you said, I just requested a rescue. Besides, the other person is Einhart. looks fast?”
“So you’re saying we should give up on Millia?!”
“Who said you’re giving up! You’re saying let’s hope that the potion we’ve used works and get out of the current crisis!”
“Then if it doesn’t work!”
“At that time, there is no way! Do I have to explain such obvious things one by one!”
“You bastard!”
The voice of Millia was heard as the furious Valtos grabbed Isaac by the collar.
“They are stupid.”
“Milia!”
“Princess, are you out of your mind?”
“Tsk, it’s because you guys are screaming stupidly.”
“I’m sorry, I should have come to my senses…”
“done.”
Millia stood up from her seat as if she was okay.
“Uh, hey Millia. Is it okay if you move?”
“Do you think you’ll die from that much poison?”
“Hey, no matter how much I do, I don’t brag about poison. It’s okay, so carry me on my back, I’ll walk.”
“done.”
Milia turned her body around as if it was a nuisance, but she staggered as if the action alone was burdening her body.
“Look at this!
“You guys, lower your voice, if you’re stupid, you’ll even close your mouth…”
Even as he said that, he silently climbed onto Baltos’s back.
Isaac, who was wary of his surroundings for a moment, said to Milia.
“Princess, Einhart has contacted me.”
“how?”
“I fled deep into the forest and escaped their encirclement. Their jammers don’t seem to reach this far.”
Millia nodded and fell into thought.
From noble mtl dot com
‘If I run away like this, I will die.’
Although she had just been bluffing, the poison in her body was still active.
Fortunately, the potion doesn’t work at all, but I feel a little lighter, but as time passes, the limit will come soon.
‘No matter how much I’m a master, it’s hard to spend more than half a day…’
In the meantime, can the rescue team get here?
‘no.’
can’t come It is questionable whether it even came in the first place.
‘If it’s that stupid younger brother, he might send an assassin instead of calling for help.’
There are things he has been doing in the meantime, so it’s not a possibility at all.
“Whoa, Isaac.”
“yes.”
“What scroll do you have?”
“There are Circle 6 Explosion, Earth Quake, and Circle 7 Inferno.”
“What about mana?”
“… Sorry, I’m almost done.”
“good.”
Milia made a decision right away.
“Break through the siege.”
***
“Where is the portal leading to?”
“The capital Aizen and Kuzen, and the city of Miltano.”
“Miltano? In the north?”
“Yes. We go to Miltano.”
Dyke spoke without hesitation and told the wizard preparing the portal.
“How long will it take?”
“Wait, even if you suddenly tell the portal to move, it will take a while for me alone.”
Dyke nodded and spoke to Aren.
“Wait here.”
“Where are you going?”
“Tell Princess Frey of the current situation and, if possible, take the scattered colleagues from this village.”
“You’re in a lot of trouble.”
“…… ha.”
Dyke suppressed his rising anger for a while and ran toward the village at breakneck speed.
“Aren.”
“huh?”
“Simon Giareid, what are you going to do?”
“… why?”
When I looked at him as if asking why, Einhart continued.
“You can’t kill Simon Giareid.”
“……”
“The two empires are at war, so it doesn’t matter, but you’re a noble of Iggent. If you kill Simon, there’s a high possibility that Giaraid will consider Iggent an enemy.”
“Don’t worry. I told you before. We don’t fight directly. Just use your ability to teach the location of the princess’s party and get lost.”
Certainly, he harbored the thought that he might kill Simon if he had the chance.
but…
‘It’s impossible.’
Simon Giareid.
I didn’t know much about the man, neither his skills nor his personality.
However, I knew that the man was not an easy opponent by any means.
“Then you are the prince of the enemy country, so why not just kill them? If you do something wrong, our country will be destroyed.”
“I know. And I told you. I’m not very interested in the royal family or the country.”
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
After waiting for a while, Dyke returned to the portal with his fellow knights around him.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, but after going to Miltano?”
“I put in a call to Miltano, and after arriving, I’ll teleport you to the Boyled family’s estate.”
Dyke entered the portal immediately as if time was wasted.
***
An unnamed mountain in the middle of the Minerva Forest.
Kwaaang!!!
The mountain was crumbling.
bang! thud! churrr
“… over there.”
Giareid’s 7th prince, Simon Giareid, looked at the crumbling mountain and murmured.
“Gather around.”
clap clap clap clap
A group of guardians began to gather around him with a low word.
chuck chuck
Surprisingly, the guardian, who is said to be the exclusive property of the great mage, faithfully followed Simon’s orders.
“Keep a distance of 10 meters and advance. Kill on sight.”
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
A group of dozens of guardians resonated as if they were going to carry out their master’s orders.
thud! Kwajik! bang! clack clack
Following Simon’s command, the Guardians who kept a certain distance broke through the obstacles in front of them.
“Then why did you break the mountain?”
Simon followed the Guardians and began to infer their intentions.
‘Milia Britannia has been poisoned, so their priority is to detoxify the poison. The explosion that just happened in the mountain has to be looked at carefully to look like a 6th circle magic, so it’s Isaac’s work or a scroll…’
Their purpose is to break through the Guardian’s encirclement and return to Iggent.
Britannia is still a long way away, so it is impossible to return immediately, but if there is a possibility, the priority is to return to the nearest territory, Margrave Boild’s, to detoxify the poison.
‘The reason for breaking the mountain is either to lure me in to create a gap or to announce my current location after a successful rescue request.’
Other than that, nothing else came to mind.
Although they had already come quite deep into the forest, it was much easier for the reinforcements to recognize the sound of an explosion like that.
And it was Millia, not herself, who was running out of time.
“Not either, but maybe both. Should I hurry…”
Simon used magic right away.
Scan (3 circles)
ugh
Simple search magic.
However, in the current situation, there was no magic more effective than this.
“… there’s still some distance.”
Although detectable, the distance was still considerable.
“It’s support.”
This time it was an affirmation.
The only reason for such a noticeable action on the street right now was support.
“It’s a waste of mana stones, but I can’t help it, I’ll chase at full speed.”
At Simon’s command, the movements of the Guardians changed.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-aang! Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
Destroying all the obstacles in front of my eyes, I started to charge at Milia’s party with the shortest route.
Whoops!… Whoops!
“come.”
Meanwhile, Millia and the others, escaping from Simon’s pursuit, were alerted by a roar coming from afar.
“Isaac, get ready.”
“yes.”
Following Millia’s command, Isaac immediately took out the scroll containing the 7th circle magic.
“Keep the scan, if you fail this time, think it’s over.”
“All right.”
At Millia’s words, Isaac maintained a scan and continued to observe their encirclement.
‘Not yet, I’ll explode when I come a little closer.’
70 meters away from them
60 meters
40 meters
30 meters
20 meters
10… Now.
Isaac tore the scroll towards the outermost location of the Guardian’s siege.
Inferno (C7)
Fuhuaaa!!
As a storm of flames engulfed the siege, the Guardian’s movements changed once again.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwam! bang! bang! bang!
A group of Guardians start pouring their aura towards the storm.
No matter how much the wizard’s magic was, dozens of guardians’ attacks started to helplessly fade the flame storm.
But that’s what Millia and the others expected.
“now.”
“Isaac, stick with me.”
At Millia’s words, Valtos started running at full speed, carrying Isaac with one hand.
Lyora-type Lightning Petrification
Paaang!
Running like lightning, Valtos escaped the outer shell of the encirclement.
But Simon was accurately sensing the appearance.
“This way.”
Burst Cannon (C 6)
Ice Cannon (C 6)
You don’t have to aim precisely.
Just block their movements and the Guardian will kill them on its own.
Simon fired two spells at their path.
Pew!
Pew!
When the two magics with opposite energy reached the target point, they collided with each other as if their own power had arisen.
aaa!!!
vapor explosion.
The huge explosion created by the collision of the two magics blew away the forest as well as Milia’s party.
“Kwaaak!”
“Valtos! Don’t stop, just go!”
“Oh ahhhhh !!!”
The huge impact sent the three new models flying for a moment, but Baltos forcibly balanced himself and bounced off again.
But that brief delay was enough time for the Guardians to reach them.
Quaang! Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
“XX! How the hell are you controlling the Guardians!”
Four Guardians have already followed closely behind Baltos.
Baltos tried to cheer up once again, but Simon was not going to watch it.
“Fire Wall (C5)”
Fuhuaaa
A wall of flame built in front of Millia and the others.
Baltos saw that and tried to break through, but saw Simon’s next magic and stopped his legs.
“Wind (C1)”
Circle 1 magic that causes wind.
However, the problem was that the strength of the wind was quite strong, and the target was the fire wall in front of me.
Fuhuaaa!
“… XX…”
The walls of flame were burning fiercely as if they had been doused with oil.
No matter how much I tried to wrap my aura, going into the flames was suicide.
“See you again.”
While Millia and the others were wasting time in front of the wall of flame, Simon approached them and started talking to them.
“This son of a b*tch…”
Baltos gritted his teeth and glared at Simon.
