Glast Subjugation (9)
– ‘So, be strong.’
– ‘I dedicate the last sentence of this book to you who became the end of my life.’
– ‘Lucy.’
The last page of Archmage Glockt’s Memoirs.
It is a memory that has faded over the years, but it was also an unforgettable memory.
The moment she closed the last page next to Glockt’s remains, the girl had no choice but to accept it.
The Archmage who accomplished this eternal achievement had all anticipated what his only family and disciple would have to face his death.

More than anyone else, it is proof that Glockt himself acknowledged, accepted death, and waited in detachment. So the girl had no choice but to let him go.
All the pain of loss will heal, and even the scars will eventually disappear… Will there ever be a day like that?
Will there ever come a day when I will be able to sit comfortably and say that what is lost is lost, and that it is all just the past pain?
The memory of the girl leaving Gloct’s hut with her frizzy gray hair hanging down ends there.
The day I went out What the weather was… I can’t remember.
*
A cool, stretched mana tower rises with a force that will pierce the sky.
In the passage leading to the underground water, dark red magical energy springs up like hot spring water, and it has the momentum to eat up all those who approach it.
Considering the amount and source of the magical energy flowing inside, it seems that Taylor and the group have entered the study of sagittalism to subdue the koom.
I want to get over it as soon as possible. But Qom is a time-consuming boss. It is a time-challenge boss in which there is no way to destroy it with the orthodox method, and you have to endure the attack until you are consumed by the Holy Spirit’s magic.
Having said that, my situation is the same.
He has no intention of stepping out of the entrance to the underground waterway until Taylor completes the final fight.
No one has the heart to send them up on stage, so they just push everyone who approaches them firmly in their seats.
– surreung
– Whik!
The mercenaries took out their weapons in unison. I observed it quickly.
It is different from the mercenaries that appeared at the time of the Ophelis incident.
At that time, they had only quickly summoned those who needed their hands right away in one night.
However, this time it is Elte’s last move that has been prepared with sufficient time.
The appearance of each of the mercenaries is not unusual.
It was different from the previous mercenaries, which had no military standards and uniform uniforms. The movements are systematized, and the weapons are neatly groomed, and the shiny armor is no less than that of the royal guards.
Not only that, but both are veterans of middle-aged to middle-aged. Most of them are veterans or skilled workers with 10 years of experience. The cuts carved on the forearm or around the face testify to the maturity of the experience.
The number seems to be a little over fifty. Those are the same number of skilled veterans.
Such people are forming a formation against the four students without even being vigilant.
It is divided into simple infantry, magic soldier, and archer for convenience, but it is divided like that for convenience.
They are so mature.
“Except for Lortel, life or death doesn’t matter. Finish quickly and quietly.”
Before he could finish saying those words, an old swordsman standing at the front of the infantry took the floor.
With quick and accurate judgment, he is probably the leader of the infantry.
I finished grasping the opponent’s power in an instant, and the direction the tip of the sword was pointing was my neck.
He leads the conversation and stands at the center, so he is the most important person in the other party. The defense on such a subject is not very thorough. There is no other goal like this.
While everyone was paying attention to Elte’s words, it was decided that they would catch the top of the opposing party first. It was the agility that suited his long career.
– Kaang!
But the sword doesn’t reach me.
What stood in the way was Yenika’s staff.
The strong defense magic of the Earth Spirit was wrapped around Yenika’s staff.
I noticed that Yenika’s defense magic had already been implemented, so I didn’t even move from the beginning.
Realizing that his blow was in vain, the mercenary leader quickly kicked the ground and tried to widen the distance again.
In order not to allow the movement, Yenika reached out and tried to summon the fire spirit… but the archers’ magic arrows flew and landed on Yenika’s shield.
Support of the archers assisting the entering ally. After Yenika’s movements stiffened for a moment, the infantry leader widened the distance again and pushed himself through the formations.
“Ugh…!”
Yenika shook her hand to shake off the arrows, then glanced at me quickly to make sure I wasn’t hurt.
“Thank you, Yenika.”
“Be careful, Ed. The movement is definitely systematic.”
Through the darkness of the forest, the archers scatter and disappear one by one. The arrows of the archers who do not know when and where they will fly press the defensive magic so that it cannot be dispelled.
Fighting while wearing defensive magic is like fighting with a rock on your back.
Defensive magic is implemented at the right time according to need, not the kind of magic that can be worn all the time like a shield. All of these similar magics are not very effective in magic.
If you are careless, you never know when an arrow will be stabbed in the back of the head. The pressure is pretty great.
“As expected, spirits are difficult.”
Elte has already confirmed Yenika’s power.
It’s a natural thing to say, but there’s no way they’ve already known the opponent’s strength and haven’t come up with any countermeasures.
Elte took out a scroll from her bosom and opened it. On the inside, the law, which looked complicated at first glance, was drawn in the size of a door.
Legendary tech equipment ‘Belarus’ Prejudice’.
It is a high-end tech equipment that bids for dozens of gold coins per sheet. Considering that it is a consumable item, it was a fairly expensive type of equipment among the legendary tech equipment.
Its ability is magic suppression.
It was backward compatible with the chestnut flower reagent used by Elvira.
The chestnut flower reagent is relatively easy to manufacture, but the duration is not very long, and if the opponent’s magic response is high, it has the disadvantage that it is almost ineffective.
However, Elte’s tech supplies are different. There was a reason why there were dozens of gold coins per sheet.
It is not possible to be free from the magic suppression action of that magic circle by any kind of magic response.
The range of activation is relatively narrow, and there is a fatal disadvantage that preparation for activation is obvious in a subject that takes time to operate. However, in this numerically inferior situation, it is not very meaningful.
“When that triggers, it’s over.”
Activating by adding protective magic, Lortel declared.
“Actually, most of our power is magic, and if our magic is suppressed even for 10 minutes, we will be overpowered quickly.”
“What is the possibility to subdue the mercenaries before the magic product is activated?”
“A mercenary with that much training and experience should be prepared for a long battle.”

My goal in the first place was to hold out until the end of Taylor’s final fight, so time is on our side.
I brushed my hair once, then took a single breath and swallowed. Anyway, there’s a chance of winning if you just use that magic tool. Fortunately, a few methods came to mind.
In any case, Elte itself has very little combat ability, so if you get close, you will be able to subdue it somehow.
I’m thinking with my head on how to approach it…
– whistle
I felt a sudden shaking. It was a reaction from Lucy on her back.
Lucy rested her hand on my shoulder, stretched out, and half got up. Then, he was looking up at the magic tower quietly.
“…”
Even the desperate battle situation would feel like a mosquito bite to this girl.
Lucy doesn’t pay any attention to the mercenaries surrounding her, and keeps her head upright while looking at the magic tower.
The eyes, which always look dazed and sleepy, are in a state of bulging for some reason.
Lucy was staring straight at the sky for a while, holding the witch’s hat with one hand to prevent it from falling off.
“Lucy.”
anticipation goes
Lucy… Perhaps she instinctively noticed what the magic tower that filled the surroundings was built for.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that you’ll be completely empty inside just because you look dazed and stupid.
Even the knowledge of magic in general is far beyond the scope of ordinary people.
No matter what book you read, you can memorize it all at once, so you can’t see him studying normally, but his knowledge is at a level that is worth the title of genius.
Considering his magical reaction, this ridiculous level of magic scale, and Professor Glast’s actions… he has the ability to guess what he’s going to do.
– swish.
Lucy, who came down from my back with a light movement, glanced around. Little by little, magical power began to flow through Lucy’s body.
*
The sense of intimidation given by the amount of magical power that exceeds the limit is like a mountain viewed from up close.
It is impossible to know the full scale of it just by gauging it close in front of your eyes. The unknown comes rather as a greater fear.
So, there was a chilling silence around him.
The mercenaries do not rush into our range.
If you turn off the defense magic and switch to attack, the damage on our side will be great, but the mercenaries will also take damage on a scale that cannot be easily overcome.
Lortel, who can freely use lieutenant magic, and Yenika, who can handle even high-ranking spirits.
Rather than rushing into an all-out war, it is better to maintain this confrontational state and wait for Elte’s magic to be activated. We are the first to move anyway.
It was a very clever and sensible response.
If the opponent’s power was really exactly what Elte and the others had predicted.
“I have a place I want to go.”
Lucy took off her clothes and spoke as if nothing had happened.
“I’ll clear a road.”
“…”
According to the original scenario, Lucy had to take a nap on the roof of the Trix building.
He wakes up from a drowsy sleep only after the incident is over, and he recalls in the epilogue of the second act that such a thing happened, and his role ends.
However, when he wakes up after stimulating Lucy in Phase 1, Lucy is confronted with Professor Glast, who is on the run.
And Lucy, who understood the full story of the situation, was persuaded by Professor Glast’s speech and joined the party, leaving a bad ending.
Lucy alone subdues Taylor’s party, and quietly walks into the underground waterway and the curtain falls.
“Uh, what’s going on?”
“I’m that student, right?”
From noblemtl.com
Magical power that circulates around Lucy’s body and then soars. Its size overwhelms the left.
A bewildered expression spreads among the mercenaries. No matter how long I’ve lived, I’ve never seen a scene of unleashing magical powers of this size without any preparation or chanting.
A raging wind is not a natural wind. It is simply a physical force that is created as a by-product of the spewing out of magical power.
However, even the storm was hard to withstand, so everyone had to adjust their posture.
The mercenaries began to swallow dry saliva in unison.
Yes, I am a student We will never be vigilant, but we have an advantage in power.
The most dangerous of the opposing factions is undoubtedly the sophomore senior Yenica Paillover.
As long as you deal with the spirits that Yenica uses, you can definitely win.
He must have been thinking like that, but unfortunately, his opponent’s greatest strength is not Yenika. There was no meaning in shouting like it was unfair.
The wind increases the strength.
The source of the storm is a small girl.
Even a school uniform doesn’t fit her body, so she’s a drowsy wizard standing with her collar hanging down.
Eventually, the girl’s magical powers became so grand that it could no longer spread, and it was enough to make me think that she was really devouring the whole world.
– Wheeik.
-sudden!
Silence has returned again.
Like the first time, there is no wind at all, and it is a quiet forest landscape.
All the fluttering collars calmed down, and only the occasional sound of grasshoppers drifted in the audience.
It feels like I’ve suddenly returned to the top of Myeonggyeongjisu without a single tremor from the stormy sea.
The sense of separation made it impossible to move not only the enemies, but also Yenica and Lortel.
However, all mercenaries with some experience will know it.
The magic didn’t go away.
That magnificent magical power was compressed to the limit in that tiny body. At this point, you will begin to get a sense of what magic Lucy used. No, it’s not magic.
Lucy walked.
With bouncy footwork, fluttering sleeves fluttered, he ran like a rabbit towards Elte, who was holding a magic tool. Just looking at their lively gait makes them feel like they are going out on a picnic.
However, the mercenaries who noticed Lucy’s condition could not block the way ahead.
Rather, along the path Lucy was walking, the crowd began to divide.
“What are you doing? Stop that student! Stop it!”
Surprised, Elte shouted urgently.
Obviously, the aftermath of the magnificent magic was enormous, but right now, there is no sense of danger.
She is just a girl with a dwarf body, walking forward with blank eyes.
The sight of dozens of massive mercenaries standing in front of them. I didn’t understand this.
At this point, Elte realized. It wasn’t very common for a girl who could freely manipulate that amount of mana.
The girl who doesn’t know her face but knows the rumors. An unidentified monster living in Sylvania. First-year Principal Lucy Meryl is that girl.
“Are you all crazy?! Move!”
“Aww!”
From noblemtl.com
Meanwhile, a mercenary who looked still young jumped out of the crowd.
It looks relatively vigorous. In other words, there is a high possibility that it is a story of a lack of experience compared to others.
Courage and Manyong are a single sheet of paper.
– Kang!
The blade flew, but as soon as it touched Lucy’s pale skin, it could not advance further.
It feels like hitting a rock. The mercenary who flew the sword felt a sense of goose welling up all over his body.
Lucy without even giving her a glance
– Tung.
With a hand gesture like knocking on the door, he tapped the man’s light armor.
With that light knock, the light armor was shattered. Of course it didn’t end there.
– Bang!
With a roar that seemed like an explosion, a vigorous mercenary came out and fell.
It flew for a long time while floating among the crowds, and was then hung on a nearby zelkova tree. It was a shock at a level that would not be strange even if a few bones came out.
Lucy, as usual, is not very good at using combat magic on the subject of a wizard.
It’s magic, so it’s hard to describe. It’s just overwhelming physical power… It’s just violence.
It compresses that magnificent magical power into the body to the limit. The physical force that overwhelms the surroundings as it radiates… makes any interference with the girl’s body impossible.
There is no defamation law There is and there is no
It was a number that exceeded her physical power by pouring more overwhelming amount of magic than Lucy’s. Of course, that’s not possible.
The more ignorant the means, the more ignorant the response. However, even those ignorant countermeasures can only be based on the amount of mana, so Lucy’s mana compression is never destroyed.
None of the mercenaries move.
Those who have lived across the four limbs for the past year have a unique sense of pride. No matter how terrifying an enemy appears, he never abandons his comrades and runs away.
That doesn’t mean you can’t fight it.
So, I have no choice but to stand helpless.
“You are the leader. You can just catch him.”
Lucy, who had reached right in front of Elte, raised her head with a clear voice.
Elte clenched her teeth with her trembling hands and activated the magic equipment. The unique power of suppressing mana was manifested from Elte’s hand, but Lucy did not budge.
You can scoop seawater, but you can’t.
The fact was so natural that not only Lucy but also Elte were convinced.
The moment Lucy is about to reach out to Elte…
“hey.”
A blond boy stood between Elte and Lucy. Running and rolling, it wasn’t a very good grind.
“You know? I could die.”
Lucy’s mana has been compressed to the limit, and each movement of Lucy’s hand is like being hit by a truck.
If you get hit once in a vital spot, or fall out and hit even the wrong part, you die instantly.
As a mercenary member with several layers of armor and safety gear, Elte, who is untrained and is only wearing a single layer of cloth, can die instantly with just one capture by Lucy.
That’s weird. He’s not someone to worry about Elte’s life. Even if Elte were to be killed by Lucy, there was some certainty that he would not stop him.
The subsequent question revealed that it wasn’t Elte that he was worried about.
“Is it okay to kill you?”
Lucy Meryl, who was born with the blessing of the Archmage, has an unavoidable fate.
The promise he made with Glockt while he was still alive to become an axis in preventing the catastrophe that would one day come to Sylvania.
don’t kill
Avoid accidentally getting blood on those small hands.
At least while in Sylvania, live your life as a student.
I was born with a destiny to one day wake up with my eyes open and face the world, but now it’s okay to sleep for a while and enjoy that idle life.
However, the moment you get blood on your hands, that life ends. The life of taking a nap in a sunny place while walking around a leisurely bachelor’s degree must end.
The first day you put blood on your hands, the day Lucy wakes up.
That fact would be well known to Lucy herself. The blessing of the stars imprinted on my life is never a free gift.
“Do this.”
Lucy looked straight at him with blank eyes.
There was constant tension among all the mercenaries. It looks like a little girl, but in reality, it’s like facing a huge weapon in front of you.
He has a level of power that can blow up an entire area if he wants to.
You might think that you are crazy when you see yourself speaking in a commanding manner in front of such a person… but that’s something you can do because you don’t know Lucy.
“…okay.”
As the compressed mana is released, a storm rages around the area once again.
After one storm raged, Lucy’s enormous magical power was scattered as smoke.
A feeling of embarrassment spread among the group. I couldn’t believe Lucy’s figure, who had all of her powers removed with a single word.
Ed slapped Elte on the back of the head with the handle of the dagger, grabbed him and brought the knife to his neck.
With the head held hostage, the situation was over.
The mercenaries already had no more willpower left.
“Then it’s over.”
Lucy said so in a low voice and turned her body back. If you look up at the sky, it is still a procession of huge magic towers.
Once the situation is over, Lucy no longer has to stick with Ed.
“Where are you going?”
However, Ed Roth Taylor summoned Lucy.
“I have a place to go.”
Ed Roth-Taylor is a person who doesn’t want to be deeply involved in other people’s affairs.
Lucy was well aware of that fact, so she just threw it away.
Of course, I didn’t expect an answer to come.
“If you go… are you sure you won’t regret it?”
– stop
As if stabbed in the face by those words, Lucy stood still and looked up at the sky without answering.
And… looking down again…
Then, in a quiet voice, he answered something… and disappeared.
It was high-level space magic.
