Mountain climbing is a mecca for adultery (3)
A little while ago, on the way back to the center of town.
– What is the damage status?
-The house is in a state of great damage due to the attack of the ogres. Fortunately, the death toll is…
You should have noticed this time.
Why did the ogre, which should have beaten people, damage the house? Is this also the aftermath of the “Red Flames” and “Sword Arrows”?
This guy’s infidelity even encourages demons.
-There is only one room left…
I will have to refuse
Anyway, it didn’t make sense for a man and a woman to sleep together in one room. As a person from a Confucian country, this was completely unacceptable.
you can sleep outside Even if you are a noble, you can sleep with a commoner.
If it was the original Leonard, it would have been something he would have refused to do, but the modern man Lee Jin-wook could fully accept it.
I was definitely going to
– Well… I can’t help it.
-Are you sure you’re okay? We would be extremely grateful if you would take care of our convenience.
-it’s okay. We slept over at each other’s houses once or twice when we were young. Was it when you were 6 years old?
Jeniel agreed first. He looked at me with an innocent smile.
6 years old is 20 years ago.
Even the rivers and mountains change in 10 years, so how can you handle Leonard’s 20-year-old dark heart?
-What about Leonard? Will Leonard be okay?
It’s not me, of course, thank you… I had to keep my mind straight. Leonard’s body has been abstinent for 14 days since I possessed it.
You don’t know what kind of disaster will happen if you sleep together in one room. Going beyond this was tantamount to destruction.
I frowned as much as I could. Undoubtedly, he showed an unpleasant expression on his face.
Amalgamation with foreign women. The scholar’s expression that such a dirty act is unacceptable.
– I’m fine too.
······ruined. As always, when I see Jeniel, the words don’t come out the way I want.
So me and Jeniel followed Erotan to the inn. It was a small hut on the south-central side of the village.
“I consider it. It is the most spacious and cleanest of all the good houses.”
A space of less than 15 pyeong. The only separate area was the bathroom.
I had to stay here alone with Jeniel, and for three days at a time.
“Then I will leave. Rest in peace.”
After bowing, Irotan left the cabin.
Time for just the two of us that came as rain.
I thought we would have a lively conversation like in the mountains, but it was awkward because only the two of us were left. The airflow inside has strangely changed.
“Isn’t this bad enough?”
Jeniel carelessly stroked the wall. It was as if I had only felt the 20 years.
“I know.”
I also stroked the wall along with Jeniel. Stuttering- The two hands that felt the touch of the tree accidentally met.
Jeniel and I put our hands together at the same time.
“·······”
Silence came back.
Just as time stretched, the term of the conversation lengthened. It was a mysterious moment where excitement and tension coexisted.
Jeniel looked at me blankly. Leonard’s face was reflected in his deep eyes.
“I won’t let it happen. Is not it?”
“So.”
“Is it because it’s in the mountains… I’ll wash myself first.”
“…?”
In an instant, my heart sank. After rolling around in the woods and treating the wounded, I’m washing. Of course, it felt like a signal to me.
A signal that is often used in any media before performing an act.
I was so flustered that I stuttered.
“Yeah, yes.”
“Are you going to stay there?”
Jeniel smiled brightly. Embarrassed, he meant not to stand in front of the door.
I sat down on the bed and closed the bathroom door. Soon there was the sound of a shower.
shoot aaaaa-
“under······”
I covered my forehead with both hands. A sense of bewilderment came later.
The guy who felt guilty about Karios at the engagement ceremony, the guy who swore that he would stop the affair, why did he come here? The future is clearly visible, but I don’t even think about ignoring it.
It was pathetic.
But, at the same time, I was excited.
I had to leave now.
But, if not now, is there another chance?
It was a time when reason and instinct clashed countless times.
-Queee
A scream resounded through the quiet town. A groaning noise like a pig being kicked. The simmering excitement slowly subsided.
“what·····”
I got up and looked out the window. The center of town was still peaceful.
but soon after
– Ma, Masuda! Everyone run away!!
– Save people!
-Kyaaa!
There were screams everywhere. At the same time, parts of the novel came to mind.
“The second attack by Luca Delos happened the next day. Unlike the first raid, which hit the whole country, it only targeted certain areas, such as the Imperial Academy and Archinia.”
Could it be that some area not used in the novel was ‘Daglania’? For an instant, my back felt chills from the uncontrollable ominous feeling.
Perhaps aware of the commotion, Jeniel’s voice leaked from the bathroom.
-Leonard? what’s going on out there?
“…Jeniel.”
-yes?
“Never come out.”
I headed straight to ‘there’.
＊＊＊
village outskirts.
Witchbeasts poured out from the mountains covered in darkness. It smelled of human flesh and ran out of control.
Their first target is a small house at the bottom of the village.
“Keugh-”
Gilbert faced it all alone.
Trolls, ogres, dark wolves and more. He mercilessly slaughtered the demonic beasts flocking in droves.
Indeed, the attack power worthy of those from the ‘Immortal Knights’.
However, it was too much for one person, Gilbert, to handle the demonic beasts who pushed through humanitarian tactics.
If you kill 10 of them, 100 will come. If you kill 100, 200 will come.
Gradually the distance between the demons narrowed.
‘I’ll be sick.’
The ‘wide-range attack magic’ that was honed for this occasion.
I wanted to activate them immediately and wipe them out, but if I did, I couldn’t guarantee the safety of the residents.
This is because Gladania’s house was built with ordinary natural materials, not ‘magic condensation stone’. Above all, the witch beasts did not give them a chance to cast wide-range attack magic.
Woowook-! Woowoowook-! Kwaguaga River-!!
Fireballs extending from both hands shook the earth and destroyed the monsters. Dozens exploded with just two attacks.
However, the monsters constantly rushed in and surrounded Gilbert in an instant.
Booung-!
The ogre’s blunt weapon passed overhead. I cast a lightning ball and penetrated his stomach.
Squeak-!
This time the troll’s hatchet missed his side. I cut off his head with my magical sword.
That time when I was struggling to receive attacks from all sides.
Kreurreung-!
A dark wolf the size of a bull charged from behind. Dozens of teeth stuck in the gaping jaws.
It’s too late to avoid or fight. Sensing death, Gilbert closed his eyes.
The miserable end of a competent attack mage.
“·······”
But no pain was felt. As if I was trapped in a subspace, my ears were deafened.
Gilbert slowly opened his closed eyes.
“…?”
He was still surrounded by demons. The slaughter-crazy ones coveted Gilbert’s body.
Only one thing has changed.
It was a barrier that wrapped around it.
“Barrier…?”
Member of the Immortal Knights.
He had received help from numerous defense wizards. All of them were one of the best in the empire, and they had skills that would arouse admiration. But… I’ve never seen such a sophisticated barrier.
A solidity that nothing in the world can penetrate.
Perfection with no visible flaws.
The “excellent magical quality” that is the basis for all of that.
When I turned my head along the source of magic, I saw Leonard on the other side of town. It was an unfamiliar face.
Kook-!
At the same time, strong magical energy exploded, blowing away the demons around. After that, the barrier disappeared.
Life was open.
Gilbert ran for power. I ran to Leonard with all my strength.
The fast-footed Dark Wolves quickly closed the distance.
– Woo woo woo woo!
A huge magic field that stretched hundreds of meters stopped them. Gilbert, who was running without knowing that fact, sat down after checking the situation behind him. He let out a breath that had risen to the tip of his chin.
“Ha ha… ha…”
Leonard approached Gilbert and asked in an urgent voice.
“The type doesn’t matter. Can you use wide-range attack magic?”
“no. The house here is-”
“Please only answer yes or no.”
“·······”
Gilbert nodded. Leonard then instructed Irotan, who followed.
“We need to rally the residents to the center of the village right now. right now.”
“Middle, to the center? Okay. I will gather them to the center.”
“for a moment!”
Erotan, who was about to run away, was quickly stopped by Gilbert.
“Gathering? Nonsense!”
No matter how Leonardo is, the maximum number of barriers created at the same time is 20. In other words, it cannot save all 500 villagers.
That said, it means that we should at least increase the individual survival rate by scattering.
But they are gathered in one place.
It was an instruction that Gilbert couldn’t quite understand.
“Do you intend to annihilate the Daglanians?”
“I don’t have time to explain everything. Gilbert, you just have to follow Erotan and deal with the few monsters that have infiltrated the center of town.”
“However-“
“Gilbert!”
Leonard raised his voice.
Blood pooled around the neck and a face full of agitation.
At the overwhelming spirit, Gilbert was momentarily at a loss for words.
“It is not a matter for a mere knight to judge.”
“·······”
“Shut up and follow the instructions.”
After saying that, Leonard and Irotan headed to the center of town.
Gilbert, who came to his senses belatedly, hurriedly followed them.
The monsters who couldn’t break through Leonard’s magic field were coming out.
······
– Everyone, gather in the center of town!
-anybody home? Come out soon!
-You have to come out right now!
Irotan’s voice was heard from afar. It seemed that they were trying to do something in the center of town.
But Jeniel couldn’t move. I was terrified and just trembled.
It was because a dark wolf was hovering outside the house.
r r r r r r r –
A dark room with the lights off. His mane brushed past the window.
sniff-
She must have smelled Jeniel’s scent and didn’t leave her surroundings. It was dangerous as it was. I had to hide in a safer place.
Jeniel lowered his posture and crawled toward the bathroom.
sneakily.
Be careful not to make any noise.
I reached the front of the bathroom without much trouble, and the moment I was about to get up
Took-!
I hit the wall with my back foot.
“·······”
A chill that freezes the space.
Eventually, when he looked back, the Dark Wolf’s red pupil was watching him from outside the window.
“ah······”
Jeniel stiffened as it were. My body didn’t move in fear. Soon after, the Dark Wolf’s head broke through the window.
Chaeng-Grang-!
“Kyaaah!”
The Dark Wolf, who visually confirmed the prey, tried to enter the interior by crossing its front paws over the windowsill. However, it fell sideways with a strong impact.
Break-!
Someone running in the same direction at the same time.
“Gilbert!”
The puppet that followed him manifested magic, and after the sound of piercing the flesh, the Dark Wolf’s cry could not be heard.
Silence after a riot.
What broke the icy silence was Leonard’s voice.
“Let’s go out now.”
Leonard looking out the window.
A captivating masculine beauty flowed from his bold figure like a hero.
“I don’t have time to procrastinate.”
“Ah, I see.”
Jeniel hurriedly left the dorm. I followed Leonard and a certain man to the center of town.
A vast crossroad that divides the town into quarters. Hundreds of people gathered in the center.
Irotan said.
“We rallied all the residents. What should we do now, Leonard?”
“Everyone except Gilbert and I, please wait as closely as possible. Until the Witchbeasts arrive-”
“M-Masuda!!”
Just in time, the demons appeared. It was coming in like a tidal wave from all four directions, front and back. There was no escape from the center surrounded on all sides.
Gilbert glared at Leonard with a resentful look.
“Is this the situation you wanted?”
“That’s right. Hurry up and cast wide range attack magic. The rest of the residents must not move at all!”
Even at the moment of saying that, the magic beasts were closing the distance. The over-excited guys screamed.
-Quack Aeg Aeg!
“I’ll be sick…”
have to believe have no choice but to believe
Gilbert thought so.
Roaring-!
Flames rose in Gilbert’s hands.
It sucked in the elements around it and became huge in an instant.
The problem was timing.
Since it was a magic he hadn’t mastered, the speed at which the beasts charged was faster than the casting speed.
“Oh, it comes!”
“Leonard. Try something!”
“We’re going to die… we’re all going to die!”
Residents in panic tried to leave the ranks one by one. I tried to escape by pushing the people who got in my way.
“Get out of the way, you bastards! I can’t die like this!”
“go away. Won’t it go off!?”
The time when the fear of the minority spread to the majority, and even the calm residents fell into confusion.
sss
The 100-pyeong site began to blur. At the same time, the residents above it were blurred. People groped for their torso in the strange phenomenon of the body becoming translucent.
“Uh, uh…?”
“What is this-”
“Why is your body like this-”
It’s only a moment to be confused.
Soon after, the land and its inhabitants disappeared without a trace. At the intersection where hundreds of people were concentrated, only Gilbert and Leonard remained. just like it was from the beginning.
“·······”
Gilbert looked at Leonard with a bewildered face.
「Expedium」, which was only heard in rumors
It is a magic that is close to impossible to manifest due to its extreme level of difficulty, and only one person in the empire has succeeded in imprinting it.
Due to the urgency of the situation, he overlooked that one of them was Leonard.
The fact that he is a master of defensive magic.
“… that’s amazing-“
“This is not the time to be praising.”
Leonard, who had become extremely sensitive, glared at Gilbert with sharp eyes. The eyeballs, which had been fine until a moment ago, were congested red.
“Go ahead and cast…”
“All right.”
Gilbert again focused on casting.
The magic beasts approached right in front of us, but were blocked by Leonard’s manifested magic field, and thanks to buying time, we succeeded in casting a wide-range attack magic – Flame Hurricane.
Huge flames rose in Gilbert’s hands.
-Go oh oh
A tremendous amount of heat energy similar to that of the sun.
Gilbert looked at Leonard. Leonard nodded.
Soon, the barrier was activated and the magic field was released, and Gilbert immediately put both hands on the floor.
Then the flames rose like a waterfall and covered all sides.
-Ku Kwa Kaka Kak!
A flame hurricane hit the ground.
The attack spread in an instant and burned everything around.
Mother nature, beasts, houses, etc. In the place where the fire swept away, only black ashes remained.
Except for one thing, Leonard’s barrier.
“·······”
Leonard looked around and released the barrier.
Sussssseu-!
At the same time, the residents who had disappeared returned. Residents who looked around with bewildered expressions cheered after confirming that the beast was gone.
“Sah, lived…”
“I lived. I live!”
“Wowaaa!”
Even though the whole village was burnt, they rejoiced at the relief of being alive.
Gilbert, who had been indifferent, also smiled lightly.
“Leonard, you really…”
However, Leonard’s condition was not serious.
His face went pale, and he began to stumble unsteadily.
Soon after…
dump-
collapsed on the spot.
“Uh… over there, Leonard-sama…”
“Le, Leonard-sama…?”
“······Leonard-sama!!”
＊＊＊
It is impossible to escape from the space where [Expedium] is manifested. It is because ‘space’ is blocked and moved to ‘other space’.
It was the reason why I continued working on 「Expedium」 even if it was overdoing it.
As a result, I lost my mind.
Perhaps my symptom is… Magical exhaustion.
Most of them faint, but in severe cases it can lead to death.
······Then am I dead?
Seeing that he was able to think, it must have been a simple fainting.
Consciousness returned, but the body did not wake up.
I wanted to sleep more, but the pleasant touch interrupted my sleep.
A gentle touch on the palm of your hand.
The warmth that makes you feel at ease.
Even I, who hate touching my body, have no objection to this massage.
And… the scent of Jeniel’s shampoo that the tip of the nose remembers.
“·······”
When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room, and Jeniel, who was sitting in the caregiver’s seat, was massaging my hand.
Her beautiful profile was full of worry.
I immediately closed my eyes. I didn’t want to find out that I was awake.
I just wanted to enjoy this time.
The skinship you get in return for saving your life, that doesn’t sting your conscience.
Ah… the priest is wrong.
Heaven is here .
