＜ Operation to rescue Jeniel (3) ＞
same time.
A night when owls sound sadly.
Knight Commander Terios is searching the west side of the island alone. It wasn’t to find Jeniel. It didn’t matter whether that girl was kidnapped or killed.
Even so, the reason why the knights were mobilized was because of the face of the family. If the eldest son’s daughter-in-law is killed by the black magicians, the position of the Cedric family is unreasonable.
However, there are always priorities in life.
Jeniel wasn’t important right now. Dealing with Leonard was the priority.
To increase the family’s prestige, it would be more effective to deal with Leonar than to find Jeniel.
Moreover, there has never been a better opportunity than today.
Furuoka is a remote island with less than 1,000 inhabitants. Not only were there extremely few eyes to see, but the current search was a clear black magician subjugation operation.
In other words, we do not conduct a detailed investigation just because someone dies. Death on a mission is nothing short of magical natural death.
So after killing him, there was no need to do any cleanup or destroy evidence. Just put it on the black magician and it’s over.
“Stupid bastard. If you dare to creep in asking where this is…”
Therios walked through the dark forest. Relying solely on the moonlight, he set out to find Leonard.
how long has it been like that
—Nine out of nine times, Leonard is the best defense mage who only cares about the safety of the empire.
I heard someone talking in the distance. Then, a familiar voice was heard.
─Gu.
─······
─Arm.
A vicious smile crept across Terios’ lips.
“found.”
While hiding his presence as much as possible, Terios headed towards the sound.
After a while.
I found the Leonard I was looking for so much. His hair was short and long, but he was recognizable because of his distinctive features.
in front of a huge cave.
A field bathed in moonlight through sparsely grown giant trees.
“Now, wait a minute. let’s talk words.”
“·······”
A blue aura hovered in Leonard’s hand, and a black magician was kneeling in front of him. The warlock was begging, grabbing Leonard’s crotch.
“The reason I cursed at Leonard was out of jealousy. This guy’s snout is square. oh crazy man! Crazy snout!”
It was quite a spectacle to see, but Terios’ gaze was directed to Leonard’s hand. “Superior quality of magical power” that can be felt even from a distance.
Geeing-
It was offensive magic.
As expected, Leonard lifted the curse and mastered attack magic. Now that the artificial limitations of all-time talent have disappeared, it will only be a matter of time before he reaches the level of a great wizard.
I couldn’t keep him alive any longer. Somehow, I had to finish it today.
Terrios opened the wood ware he had brought. It contained a ‘defense magic nullification potion’.
A special potion worth a whopping 1,000,000 per that makes it impossible to use defensive magic for a while even if a very small amount is injected into the human body.
Oral administration is the way to maximize the effect, but there was no way a guy who had already gone through Gilbert’s scheme would drink the potion quietly.
If that’s the case… I have no choice but to administer it by force.
Terrios floated the water bottle with 「Infernal movement」 and poured the potion into her closed hands. He then froze the potion into an icicle.
His talent—Ice magic.
oh oh oh oh oh
The tips and sides of the icicles, shining light green, were sharp like blades.
So that you can wield it like a dagger.
“·······”
After completing all preparations, Terios walked away with the icicle hidden behind his back. I crossed the grass and headed towards Leonard.
Four trilogy- Four trilogy-
A sign that wakes up the quiet forest.
Before Terrios showed up, Leonard, sensing footsteps, turned his head first. He looked at the grass with his eyes wide open.
At that moment, the black magician jumped up from his seat.
“Acifal!”
I tried to run away in a hurry to the other side. But Terrios wouldn’t allow it. As soon as he appeared, he reached out to the black magician.
Cheeky Jiggly——!
Then both of the warlock’s legs froze. Huge ice like a glacier encircled the lower half of the body, completely trapping it.
“Ah!”
The warlock struggled in pain, but did not collapse. This too was due to bondage.
Therios built a light arsenic.
You must not run away from this place.
It will be an important evidence of Leonard’s death.
“······What are you doing up to here?”
Leonard said. It was a cynical voice like eyes in pupils.
Terrios slowly approached Leonard.
“I came because I was worried that I was searching alone for an island with demons and warlocks.”
one step. one step.
He reassured Leonard and closed the gap. It has reached a distance where you can reach it if you stretch out your hand.
Therios pointed at the warlock with a chin.
“Looks like you got the black magician, but did you find Jeniel?”
“There it is.”
Leonard pointed to the cave behind him. However, his eyes were still on Terios.
You cannot administer potions in this state. He needed a trick to steal Leonard’s attention. A good trick that he can’t help but turn a blind eye to.
“okay?”
Terrios looked at the cave gently.
“In a cave? Are you sure?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s see… Oh, that’s right. I am standing in front of the cave over there.”
For an instant, Leonard’s pupils shook. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head backwards. It was drunkenness.
A small gap occurred in an instant.
Terrios didn’t miss that golden opportunity. I stabbed Leonard’s forearm with an icicle hidden behind his back.
hook-!
Icicles were embedded in my forearm with the sound of flesh breaking through. It didn’t penetrate completely, but this was enough. Even a very small amount will be effective enough.
“·······”
An attack made in an instant.
After that, a heavy silence lingered.
Not only Leonard and the black magician, but even the clouds in the night sky did not move. A bleak wind blew through the forest where time seemed to have stopped.
wheee
The seemingly infinite silence was disturbed by Leonard. Leonard slowly turned his head. After checking the icicle stabbing his arm, he shifted his gaze to Terios. His face was still cynical, but there was a hint of anger on his face.
“…what are you doing?”
Therios built poisonous arsenic.
“So you should have lived within your means.”
＊＊＊
I wanted to convey my heart to the person I love. I was just trying to confess.
That was all the plans for tonight.
But what is this?
No matter how much life doesn’t work out the way you want… what the hell is this situation?
“·······”
Lucas watched the scene blankly. There was an unbelievable sight unfolding before my eyes.
Leonar, the best defense wizard in the empire, and Therios, the leader of the Immortal Knights.
To meet two great people at once, a great man who is difficult to meet once in a lifetime. It couldn’t have been like this without luck. This situation alone is sad enough, but suddenly the two start fighting.
That too, with the black magician himself in front of him.
It was confusing.
I didn’t know who to root for, or who would win even a little bit.
It was at that time when I was dumbfounded as if my head was overloaded.
Tadat-!
Leonard opened up the distance with a simple backstep. After checking the wound on his forearm once again, he looked at Terios.
“What do you want?”
“Your death. That is all.”
It was a concise assertion.
The reason was unknown, but the will was certain. Leonard’s gaze grew sharper.
“Do you really want to see the blood?”
“okay.”
After those words, the auras condensed on both Terios’ hands. The aura of sky blue light slowly spread into the air, and soon dozens of fist-sized icicles were created.
gulp-
Lucas swallowed dryly. Being an attack wizard, he knew what that magic was.
[Icicle Rain], a magic specializing in ice arts and famous for Terios’ main attack.
The power of the icicles, which are made up of powerful offensive magic, is comparable to that of the highest level offensive magic.
I never thought I would see 「Icicle Rain」, which I had only heard about through rumors.
Lucas looked at Terios with awe in his eyes.
At that moment, the icicles floating in the air were ejected like bullets.
Shush shush shush——!!
A speed that the eye cannot follow.
Dozens of straight lines rained down on Leonard, drawing afterimages. It was an extremely insufficient time to manifest the [Barrier]. Indeed, it was a skill worthy of the leader of the Immortal Knights.
Right before those terrifying attacks reach Leonard.
Chaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejae!!
······All broken.
First, a sharp roar rang out, and the icicles that seemed to tear the skin were shattered in an instant, and ice crystals scattered helplessly to the ground. Nothing could touch Leonard’s body.
Lucas sighed softly.
“ah······”
It was clearly not a drinking party.
To say that was after the magic had already been manifested.
In other words, it was blocked with follow-up magic… I hadn’t heard of such destructive defense magic. Even though he was from an attack wizard, even a graduate of the royal academy, he knew that much.
That’s not a defensive spell.
“under······”
A small smile escaped Terios’ mouth.
Did you say Go Soo recognizes Go Soo?
Unlike Lucas, Terrios recognized Leonard’s magic at once.
“It’s a magical cohesion bullet… that’s interesting.”
He had blocked Terios’ blow with the low-class attack magic [Magical Concentration Bullet]. Each and every flying icicle was shot down one by one with [Magic Coalescing Bullets].
“Agile reflexes” that arouse admiration.
Also phenomenal sophistication.
I heard that Leonard is a stranger to offensive magic, but how can he…
Terios continued without a chance to guess.
“I heard that you were enlisted in Kataracha, so you learned some tricks.”
Terrios looked at Leonard as if he was laughing. Powerful auras shimmered all over his body. As if suggesting another attack, the air around the area froze coldly.
“But nothing more, nothing less.”
Before long, “Icicle Rain” rained down.
Shush shush shush——!!
A piercing sound that strikes the eardrum at the same time.
Chaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejae!!
Leonard parried the attack again. However, Terios’ magic did not end with a single shot. In the aura that spread like a dark cloud, icicles continuously poured out.
Infinitely too many to accept them all.
Shush shush shush shush——!!
Leonard kicked the ground and dodged it. He evaded all attacks with agile movements, blocked the rushing icicles toward his body with [Magical Condensation Bullets], and intermittently released attack magic toward Therios.
Chaejaejaejaeng——!! Shusuk-!
However, Terios also easily blocked it.
In the blink of an eye, the sum of tens was exchanged. It was a breathtaking showdown that seemed like something you would have to pay to see, no, even if you paid for it.
Lucas covered his mouth. Because otherwise it seemed like it would give out an exclamation.
“·······”
Terrios touched the ground while manifesting 「Icyc Rein」. Then the ground trembled in a straight line, and a huge iceberg rose from under Leonard’s feet.
Kuguagaga River ——–!!!
It was an attack that pierced the body, but Leonard stepped on the iceberg and jumped gracefully. His body, suspended in midair, covered the moon in the night sky.
A truly magical moment.
Roaring——
Flames bloomed in Leonard’s hands. The spark, which was only a handful, quickly spread into a huge flame.
It was the manifestation of fire art, which is compatible with ice art.
