Episode. 46 Draupnir (1)
The effect of provoking Alisa was amazing.
A target moving at a much higher speed than before.
Colorful magic was embroidered on the lake.
“The method is the same. Just use each of the three elemental magics ten times or less to defeat all of my magic.”
Even at first glance, it seems that there are dozens of them, and destroy them with a total of 30 magic.
‘I have to destroy more than one at a time.’
Very high difficulty.
From noble mtl dot com
From here, it seemed like I would have to put a lot of effort into it.
“It’s an efficient way to train the power of magic and control at the same time. How can you?”
“I will do my best.”
Opening her eyes, she fired a flaming arrow at Alisa’s magic.
pop-!
The trajectory of the fire arrow that pierced one magic staggered rapidly and fell into the lake.
‘Once you penetrate one, it becomes more difficult to control.’
The more targets you collide with, the harder it will be to hold the reins of your magic.
However, if you increase the power ignorantly, you cannot even try a skill like a howitzer.
“hmm.”
I looked down at the ring and smiled.
okay. It deserves to be this much.
From that day on, I practiced shooting down in the afternoon, and in the evening, I grabbed a magic book and put my knowledge into it.
“As for the rise of the Circle, I will help you if you get me a passing grade.”
Alisa’s hint in the middle of the story ignited my passion.
Just like the children of a magician, he was busy with his days, and news came that Alan had woken up.
I put off training and went to his hospital room.
I was thinking of saying something harsh.
Next time, don’t do anything reckless.
“… … .”
However, after seeing Alan’s hard-hitting face, the mind went into it.
Alisa, Pyran, and others who were close to him seemed to be pouring nagging at Alan.
No matter how much I was tormented, he gave me a tired expression as soon as he saw me.
“I think you look better when you’re lying down.”
“after… … noisy.”
Alan was half-reclining on the bed, looking out the window.
His face was pale, but a light shimmered around his eyes.
A sense of accomplishment for finally burning Magi completely.
Or it seemed like a sense of liberation.
Blazing-
A small ember burned from his fingertips.
A holy fire that is purer than white flame and warmer than light.
‘Hmm.’
I narrowed my eyes and examined it carefully.
Most of the fireworks made of magic tend to have a strong artificial feeling.
However, the torch shimmering in Alan’s hand was different.
It was an ember made only of light.
‘A paladin can use mana to deal with divine power. What does the Heretic Inquisitor deal with the holy fire in return?’
There is no unconditional power in the world.
So I asked the person directly.
“… … I do not know either.”
But I myself don’t know.
“Does that make sense? It is your strength.”
“Do you think there will be a clue about the power you just gained? It has no effect on mana or mental strength.”
Anger-!
The white flame, like a match fire, swelled up in an instant.
Even so, Alan’s expression remained calm.
‘Is this really a power that can be used indefinitely?’
While basking in the heat of the flames for a while, a plausible hypothesis suddenly came to mind.
I looked inside right away.
Needless to say, as Alan increased the size of the flame, my faith was gradually being consumed.
‘Hoo.’
I tried to hold on tightly to the faith that was disappearing.
Then, as if there was nothing left to burn, the torch faded away.
It was a very strange power.
It’s not the caster, but I’m the power to shoulder the burden.
“Congratulations, Alan. He has bestowed his blessing.”
“No, this is not a blessing.”
Alan, who was expected to show off, shook his head and said.
“As I was entrusted with the duty of the Heretic Judge, the person who observed my lack of ability gave me the tool. I can’t help but feel sad and sorry.”
He bowed his head as if he was really embarrassed.
really. It’s like blaming yourself for receiving an unexpected gift.
“… … Richard. When are you planning on evangelizing?”
He didn’t say anything for a long time before he asked me.
I could tell he had made a decision.
“today. A meeting is scheduled.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Wizards were summoned to the conference hall.
The wizards, who greeted Alan with a voice of relief, expressed their opinions with enthusiasm and sincerity from the start of the meeting.
“We must prepare for an attack by the Marx family!”
The first thing they wanted to prepare for was Marx’s preemptive strike.
The king came back covered in blood.
Without Alan, Alyssa would have come to an end right there.
And, what that meant was that Marx defined Laplace as an enemy.
It wouldn’t be strange if a terrifying elite army invaded the kingdom at any time.
As many of the wizards gathered at the meeting belonged to Marx, they were well aware of the potential of the first magic family.
In addition, the possibility that all the countries of the southern continent will be hostile to Laplace under Marx’s pressure cannot be overlooked.
“We sent letters requesting cooperation to neighboring countries, but they were all returned back.”
The moment when possibilities start to become certain.
The wizards’ expressions stiffened in an instant.
Marx’s breath is already surrounding Laplace.
The air in the conference room began to feel heavy.
“… … We have to open the way.”
Alisa opened her mouth in a deliberately serious tone.
“The only way to overcome this situation is to publicize their abnormal behavior. Even Marx cannot completely isolate us without any justification. Before long, there will be places where you will notice the strangeness of Marx.”
But things weren’t so rosy.
I couldn’t just sit still in the yard, not knowing when the elite corps would attack.
So Alan opened his mouth.
“There is a corner to open the bow.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“The magic union that stopped the plague. They would listen to Laplace.”
They desperately felt the ferocity of the Magi during the war against Calgos, and they were the ones who experienced the power of Hor.
Among them, there were Marx’s elite troops right away, and there were also many magicians who were in charge of each kingdom’s power.
If you find and convince them to return to their respective seats, he will also become a considerable force.
However, Laplace’s wizards did not understand Alan’s will well.
“I wonder if they will take our side.”
“Even if there is a relationship with Master Alan, it is difficult to think that it is thick enough to stick your teeth into the absolute Marx family.”
Alan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Any alliance that was in awe of Hor has the potential to help.
Because the enemy is no longer Marx, but ‘heretic’.
But in order to explain it to those present, I had to tell them about Hor first.
And that was Richard’s share.
It’s a bad feeling, but even in Alan’s opinion, Richard’s ability for evangelism was excellent.
Hadn’t he already gathered a great force under the banner of Horgyo?
After acknowledging the truth he had been denying all along, Alan’s heart felt much more at ease.
‘All I have to do is… … It is to gather another group.’
Alan faced reality.
If Richard is a saint who spreads the light to others, then he is a saint who is entrusted with the task of acting as a divine punishment.
And I realized that I had to gather more embers to ignite the mighty darkness.
‘When are you going to start, Saint of the North?’
Alan turned his gaze to look at Richard.
Following his gaze, all the attention in the hall was focused on Richard.
“I think it’s time to reveal what you’ve been hiding.”
At Alisa’s voice, the wizards’ eyes widened a little.
Soon after, Richard nodded and stood up.
A haze began to ripple through his body.
‘okay. It cost me as much as it cost me.’
I scanned the hall with deep sunken eyes.
The wizards of Laplace were clearly aware of who the enemy was and were seeking a way out.
There was no suitable timing to reveal Horgyo’s existence as much as this.
dig-
A large beam of light covered the conference hall.
“… … !”
“what!”
They jumped up in the air of divinity they were experiencing for the first time in their lives.
“His Highness, King Alisa, must know. The existence of the great cross.”
a huge cross
Hoo-
Alyssa let out an interesting voice and her eyes lit up as if she were finally convinced.
“As expected, that’s the antipode of demons.”
Richard responded with a grin and a smile.
Slowly, I began to feel the overwhelming power from him who constantly radiated faith.
It was the manifestation of the godhead that became possible after ascending to the position of a saint.
◈ ◈ ◈
“… … .”
Bapel’s head swung and turned to one side.
An unpleasant, disgusting aura that can be felt from afar.
It was as if even the soul was defiled.
– Heresy… … get rid of… … .
– Not a single thing left… … .
At that time, God’s voice rang through his body.
Hesitation filled Bapel’s eyes.
But even that was short-lived.
“ah! Oh God!”
Hesitation was pushed aside and madness took its place.
cheap-
A terrible darkness wrapped around his body.
As soon as it exploded, it covered Marx’s citadel.
– Whoa… … .
Some who heard the melancholy cries felt ecstasy, others felt fear.
