Episode 103 – Together for life.
103. Together for life.
Road to Jeseonggwan.
“Now that I think about it, Aria.”
“Yes.”
Leon asked Aria.
“That’s… Right?”
Leon pointed his index finger toward Aria’s heart and twirled it around.
Aria smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes, I knitted another loop.”
“Hey.”
Leon was greatly impressed.
What we mean by ‘weaving a ring’ here means adding an additional core used by wizards to the heart.
So, Aria is currently.
“······5 Circles.”
I had entered the 5th circle. She was the first and only among her freshman jockeys to achieve five circles.
If you reached the 5th circle, you were at a high level where you were treated as a skilled wizard no matter where you went on the continent.
‘I’m crazy.’
Leon was once again amazed at her talent.
That’s right, when I first saw Aria, she was only in the 2nd circle. In just over a year, she knitted three rings.
She was born into a famous magic family with a good pedigree, she felt mana from the time she was a baby, and even though she learned magic before she could walk, no matter how good she was, circle 4 was her limit at the age of 18.
Liana, who is really talented and comes from a good family, has maintained the 4th circle since she entered school.
On the other hand, Arya’s family situation was not very good.
Nevertheless, she reached the 2nd circle on her own by reading a few basic magic books. She even took the El Prime Academy entrance exam at the 2nd circle level and passed.
After that, she met Leon and got his support, and she grew like crazy, knitting two more rings of her own in six months.
‘······Isn’t this Billy-level talent?’
It was truly an unreasonable talent that went beyond common sense.
“Anyway, good job.”
Leon patted her shoulder, saying he was proud of her.
Aria said with a bright smile.
“Right now, master.”
At the sudden remark, Leon turned to Aria.
“Hmm? What?”
“hehehe. “There is such a thing.”
Something dark and deep was stirring inside Aria’s blue eyes as she said that.
“······.”
Leon quickly closed her mouth and focused on walking.
* · * *
Kkeak-thud.
Leon, who entered one of the high-end training halls in Jeseong-gwan, said.
“Me first? You first?”
The question is who will absorb the elixir first.
One person had to stand guard. That’s why the two came in together.
Even though they belong to the Asonia family, Musk is not an easy person. If an attack occurred while absorbing the elixir, there was nothing worse than that.
“Master, please eat first.”
“Okay.”
Without hesitation, Leon sat down on her buttocks.
After that, he made her sit still and take a deep breath, and then he threw the fastener, which was her favorite, into her mouth.
‘Bittersweet.’
It was a unique energy that I had never experienced before.
Leon carefully melted the energy of her elixir and spread it throughout her body. Her entire nervous system felt strengthened.
It took about 5 hours to complete her absorption that way.
“Whoa…”
“Are you finished?”
As soon as Leon opened his eyes, Aria, who had been waiting for her, asked. Her voice sounded very slow.
“Oh?”
Leon rolled his head and eyes and looked around.
His feelings were no joke. The world was perceived slowly, as if watching a video played slowly.
“Aria. “Hit me.”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s not that I want to get hit. “I’m going to avoid it, so hurry.”
After hesitating for a moment, Aria trusted Leon and threw out her fist.
‘Concentration.’
At the same time, Leon entered the extreme order.
Then, for a moment, I felt as if time had stopped.
Aria’s white hands, small scratches, her scars, calluses on her knuckles, veins, and even every spark that bounced from the long coiled electric current were all in sight.
Leon stretched out her palm and gently cupped Aria’s fist.
“······Huh?”
Her fist was caught so easily that Aria was embarrassed.
A big smile appeared on Leon’s face.
“Hey. This is very good. His Majesty the Emperor gave me something huge. “I think I can last five more.”
He muttered, keeping his sparring match with Cheren in mind. And now it seemed like Goren could kick with just her feet.
“Congratulations.”
“You too, eat quickly.”
“Yes.”
Arya sat in her sitting position and took a gulp of her elixir. The Heavenly Lightning Holy Water she received was an effective elixir for wizards who mainly deal with electric properties.
Leon held her dagger around her and began to do her sword dance.
* · * *
The sun was already setting.
A scarlet sunset seeped in through a small skylight above the training ground.
Suddenly, Leon looked intently beyond the window. The sky was clear without a single cloud.
‘The moon will be bright today.’
Leon was dazed for a moment, his eyes fixed on that place. The sunset became increasingly red and darkness mixed into the blue sky.
‘After eating, let’s go outside the castle.’
It was at that time when I was roughly making plans for today in my head.
The flowing sunset light swayed slightly.
“Um…?”
Leon blinked his eyes.
‘You really came? Is Count Philtron out now?’
Leon, who saw Aria’s eyebrows slowly narrowing, opened her mouth.
“Don’t worry about it, just keep doing what you’re doing. “It’s not serious.”
“······.”
Aria’s eyebrows became flat again.
In an instant, Leon turned his body around and threw the dagger he was holding.
Needle liquid – Pow!
The dagger filled with mana flew like a bullet and stuck in a corner of the training hall wall.
—Boom!
Soon, a seal fell to the ground nearby. He had a dagger handle attached to his forehead like a decoration.
Next, Leon closely felt the presence of a creature creeping in from the front, lower left, upper right, and rear in that order.
“What are these idiots doing?”
He stared straight ahead and burst into laughter.
Now I could tell just by looking at the eyes revealed above the mask. These guys also ate the black snake. Of course, it is a type of herbal medicine with a great awakening effect.
“No, if you’re going to eat it, take another stimulant.”
The funny thing is, that wasn’t a drug that an assassin would use.
Any killing weapon is a sneak attack that hides its presence and approaches.
But when you eat black snake, your excitement boils over, your energy becomes ferocious, and your prayers spread out in all directions.
In other words, all signs are revealed, making hiding and stealth impossible. That’s not an assassin.
If you look at the fact that these guys infiltrated all the way here, they must have excellent skills.
I took useless medicine right before the attack and was immediately located by Leon.
“Stupid bastards. Blame the guy who handed you that to eat. No, is it a b*tch? “The old lady fox sent you, right?”
The next moment, Leon’s eyes flashed.
He stepped on the Cheonryeongbo and moved forward as if sliding.
He got right in front of the enemy and drew a dagger from the upper right to the lower left with his sword energy flying.
The blue sword flew in a diagonal line. The enemy was moving their weapons when they saw Leon, who was just a short distance away.
Phew!
His body was dismembered in the same position he was in when he was holding the sword.
Before the dismembered body fell to the floor, Leon performed two movements at once.
He threw the dagger with his left hand and at the same time powerfully struck the sword flying from the other side.
Hook!
The dagger was stuck in the heart of the enemy coming to the upper right.
Kwakwak!
Leon’s memorization flew backwards and pierced the enemy’s eye in the lower left corner.
Three died, the only one left was the one who came to the rear.
Leon glanced away.
Aria was sitting in front of him, and the guy was running behind her at every moment.
I sensed something out of the ordinary about this guy with glaring eyes. The guy didn’t even have his weapon drawn.
“Oh my, that crazy guy.”
Mana was concentrated in Leon’s legs. A surge of energy surged along the entire body circuit.
In a split second, he leapt a distance of over 15 meters in a single step. To the enemy, it felt no different from blink magic.
Leon, who was behind Aria in an instant, took advantage of his speed and performed a side kick. It was a kick with a slightly upward angle.
Leon’s sole touched the enemy’s solar plexus. There was a strange hitting sound that was difficult to describe.
The enemy’s new model, folded in half like a piece of paper, rose high and flew away.
Soon.
aaa!
A tremendous explosion erupted from the guy floating in the air. Flames, bullets, and shock waves spread in a circle and struck Leon and Aria.
‘Oh, sh*t. ‘I should carry a sword.’
A moment of regret passed through Leon.
He immediately exploded with energy, opened a cute sword screen with a short dagger, and just released mana raw, shaking all kinds of damn things.
The ridiculously large amount of mana drawn from the Danjeon began to offset the explosion.
Quaaa!
The wind pressure blew Aria’s hair back. A loud noise rang in her eardrums. My long eyelashes fluttered due to the resonance.
“······.”
However, the beautiful face with its eyes closed peacefully showed no signs of agitation. I didn’t pay any attention to the surroundings. Even though a huge explosion explodes right next to him, he doesn’t even flinch, trusting only Leon in front of him.
Because I trust Leon.
Since he said he was okay, he is okay. If he tells you not to care, he doesn’t have to care.
Even if Leon made a mistake and ended up dying, it didn’t matter.
Because of that, she was born again. Because he was the one who pulled her out of this horrible world. Her life was in his hands.
That’s why she treats him as her master, devotes herself to magic to help him, and wears a bomb choker that she can easily detonate on her own.
If it was his words, he could follow anything and do anything. Everything except him was worthless and meaningless. Because he was there, she was there.
Maybe that’s why my feelings and obsession with him grew so much that I couldn’t control it.
‘Together with the owner for the rest of my life…’
That was Aria.
aria you crazy
