Episode. 45 The first magic swordsman (2)
she rubbed her eyes
Then I looked at the ring again.
“uh… … .”
A stupid sound that I don’t know how many times.
It was in an instant that it turned to astonishment.
Jiying, Jiying-
Gori naturally resonated and inflated his body.
“What is it? Big, what was it?”
“It’s a circle.”
“How do you have a circle! No, some circle in the world is out of the body… … !”
For that moment, the majesty of the king was nowhere to be seen.
He only looked like a scholar who had discovered an unprecedented mystery.
Alyssa walked towards the ring with her mouth wide open.
A magic circle was drawn in her blue eyes.
‘It’s not a gimmick caused by illusions or artifacts.’
In his omniscient eyes, everything in the ring was disassembled and aligned.
Then I discovered a surprising fact.
‘It is upward compatible with a common ring.’

The resonance sound is different.
If the resonating sound of the other ring was chirping, Richard’s was closer to a roar.
Her gaze turned to Richard’s chest.
The mana gushing out from the knight’s heart is strong and ruthless, like a raging stream of water.
That was maximizing the output of the ring.
Even more so, Richard’s mana was special even at first glance, it was literally like giving a lion wings.
In an instant, goose bumps ran down Alisa’s forearm.
What if Richard, who seemed to have reached the level of a sword master long ago, even reached the heights of magic?
The continent’s first magic swordsman was born.
The research result that knights and wizards are perfectly suited to complement each other was enough to motivate wizards to work hard on barding.
However, even so, Richard’s ring did not necessarily have only advantages.
“It is a special and amazing circle. But too risky. The ring that is revealed outside like this… … .”
Richard nodded.
“If you take an attack, it will be shattered.”
Shortly after absorbing the prosthetic heart at the site, he looked at his ring and commented that his right atrium was flapping in his hand.
It was not a very wrong assessment.
The injury that wizards fear most is the rupture of the mana circle.
It was a terrible thing that anyone would be afraid of when the level achieved with sweat and blood turned to dust.
In Richard’s case, such a fatal weakness was highlighted too much.
“Still, I can’t let go of this limitless possibility. Isn’t it?”
“… … Well, that’s right. Everyone will say that.”
Alisa caught sight of the magic swirling around the ring.
Fire Bolt, Ice Bolt, and Lightning Bolt.
Although it was only one circle, it was a very difficult task to simultaneously manifest three elemental magics.
‘You seem to have hidden your abilities while living in Battenberg. It must have been training in earnest after leaving the family. At least half a year.’
There was no way I would leave the lineage that trained magic in the best swordsmanship family alone.
Richard’s appearance, which was completely different from the rumor that he was a fool, added credibility to her thoughts.
Triple casting for half a year of training.
It is an achievement that belongs to the talented side.
It was when Alisa thought so.
“Lord Pyran helped me with training. Weaving magic with my own hands gave me a new feeling.”
“… … ?”
“Why is that?”
Richard tilted his head.
“That sounds like the first time I learned magic when I went back to my hometown.”
“hmm… … That’s right.”
Alyssa’s eyebrows twitched.
The stiff face twitched slightly.
“How long did it take… … ?”
“What do you mean?”
“I asked how many days it took for the first magic to manifest.”
“I made it on the second day. Unfortunately, it’s one day behind the record of Her Majesty King Alisa and Alan.”
Looking at Richard with a shy smile, Alyssa struggled to calm her startled heart.
Two days.
It was slower than himself or Allen, but two days was a record far above ‘Marx’s average’.
“Did you say you wanted to learn magic?”
“yes.”
“What you want most is Laplace’s eyes.”
“Give me a chance, I will do my best to train.”
Richard seemed unwilling to hide.
I laughed out loud at that confident look.
It seemed like he had a disciple who was a lot of fun to raise.
◈ ◈ ◈
The royal wizards were summoned.
Alisa looked at them filling the large conference hall and opened her mouth.
“The one who attacked me was Marx’s patriarch, Bapel Marx.”
She told the whole story in a calm tone.
As the story progressed, the faces of the wizards gradually hardened.
When he finally heard that Bafel had tried to take Alisa’s eyes, he couldn’t even hide his boiling blood.
Loyalists who left Marx with one loyalty to Alisa.
Their outrage was understandable.
“What matters is not what he did to me.”
The king’s voice awakened their reason.
After calming the excited wizards, she continued.
“Bafel Marx serves Magi. That vicious aura.”
The appearance that changed like a devil and the dark and terrible demonic energy.
In addition, an unknown existence that could only be seen by Laplace’s eyes.
“… … The real danger is not Marx’s patriarch.”
Pyran pointed out the key point.
He had studied the existence of ‘Majin’ that appeared after the world was covered with demons.
“Majin radiates demonic energy through his entire body. Mana and Magi are also mixed. And it has the property of mutating others.”
His face was Paris.
As for the Mine, according to Alisa’s testimony, Bapel Marx was in a more serious condition than the Mine.
Worst case.
Under the influence of Bapel, the whole of Marx might go mad.
The sound of swallowing saliva echoed here and there.
Alyssa looked over the crowd and caught her breath.
“The war he wants to cause has neither the cause nor the will that Marx has forged for a long time. It just became a monster impatient to destroy.”
The war between the continents he is aiming for must be stopped.
In order to do that, the kingdom of Laplace had to stop Marx.
“I will deliver the news to neighboring countries. We need their strength.”
“This is the fate of the continent. It’s not just us solving it… … .”
Suddenly, the gaze of the hall was focused on Richard, who had been still.
Battenberg bloodline.
If it was that family at the top of the knights, it should be able to stop Marx.
However, Richard shook his head as he leaned against the backrest.
“If Battenberg were to intervene, it would really turn into a continental war. It serves the purpose of the enemy.”
“… … yes. Obviously, our thoughts were short.”
To stop Marx, those based in the southern continent must come forward.
“If I can help, I will do my best.”
After saying that, Richard closed his mouth again.
Then Alyssa’s eyes met.
There was a strange look in her gaze.
‘Richard holds the key to something.’
A feeling close to intuition.
It seemed to her that he was waiting for the right moment.
Richard tightly hid the key he was holding.
However, Alisa didn’t think it would return as a dagger to herself and Laplace.
“I will hold the meeting again when Alan wakes up.”
First of all, she intended to teach Richard magic until her sister woke up.
◈ ◈ ◈
Quaang-!!
Rapture gritted it.
Otherwise, a joyful scream would come out.
The power is strong enough to pull out a mountain, and the energy seems to cover the world.
Krokta, the king of the orcs, was such a being.
“That freshman, you’ve already fought twelve times and lost twelve times! Kkuik! I will lose today!”
“To be able to fight the king a dozen times! i envy you!!”
Most orcs on Titan are given a chance to fight the King only once.
Because the price of that reckless challenge is life.
However, there were rare cases in which Krokta spared the challenger, which was in line with the meaning of being a strong man recognized by the king.
Such was the case with Rapture, who recorded 12 losses in 12 matches.
puff-
A dull plosive sound rang out.
The hideous ax blade lodged itself in Rapture’s chest.
The ax cut through the flesh with a crackling, creepy sound.
“Ouch!”
Rapture backed away.
He could see his heart beating wildly between his wide open chest.
Still, he laughed.
Krokta also burst into a hearty laugh and said.
“bantling! Are you alive!”
Rapture answered by sticking out his beating heart.
“I, the rapture is still alive!”
“Awesome! You are a wonderful man!”
An ignorant conversation ensued.
Grasping the axe, Rapture muttered an apology to Richard inwardly.
In my head, Richard’s request not to immediately fight Krokta was repeated over and over again.
‘I’m an orc. A tribe that follows the cry of the heart rather than the head. I’m sorry for behaving my own way.’
Soon, he even erased Richard’s voice that was ringing in his head.
“I will go. Chwik!”
Today’s wounds are deep.
It seemed that this would be the last battle.
‘It’s right to enjoy it until the end!’
Resentment remains, but no regrets.
Rapture was about to take a step.
Blazing-
A wildfire radiance radiated from the ax he raised.
At the same time, life that had been extinguished was restored to life.
“Um… … ?”
Krokta narrowed her eyes and looked at the light wrapped around the rapture.
Unusual momentum was emanating from the Rapture.
“hahahahaha, that’s funny! If you survive this battle, I will make you a general of the Titans!”
Krokta’s muscles twitched.
He waved his hand toward Rapture as if telling him to rush.
Wow-!!
The heat of the arena starts to overheat.
If bravery was second to none, the sad Orcs chanted the name of Rapture.
appointment as a new general.
In the midst of the glory that couldn’t be better for an orc, Rapture burst into laughter.
“Come! Cupid has finally come to me too!”
It’s not the cupid of love you’ve been hoping for.
What came to him was the victorious Cupid.
“As expected, I must be a merchant who will become a king.”
Horror Man.
If you’re watching me, tell the story of my feat to a great human warrior.
I’m sure they’ll go wild if they didn’t listen to me! That’s fun to watch again-
Rapture finished praying and threw himself at Krokta.
The brilliance wrapped around the ax shook greatly.
