The sun, which had burned all the time in the middle of the day, gradually entered the stage of incomplete combustion as the firewood became scarce.
Maybe it was because the meta-conveyor belt moved from west to east, so it felt like evening had come earlier today. Perhaps the long chase from the morning had driven away even his leisure.
Having regained my leisure, I slowly muttered as I watched the setting sun.
“Whoa. He barely escaped.”
In terms of results, it is a huge success. Because we resisted the military pursuit before the sun went down.
However, the process was not as smooth as expected. It was the result of various events and variables at work.
In any case, I praised the returnee, the number one contributor to escape.
“Mr Shay! That's great! Truly, the power of heaven and earth trembled and the earth cracked! How do you get that much power?”
“Oh, what? It doesn’t matter.”
The returner waved his hand and scratched his chin when he saw Jizan hanging from his waist.
'I saw the mage shake the ground stem, and I wondered if I could imitate it with Jizan… . okay?'
The generals, who had been deprived of their daughter, reacted more violently than expected, as if they were the real fathers of fools. In particular, the enraged horseman ignored the warnings of the generals and sat down and shook the meta conveyor belt.
The meta-conveyor belt is a flowing land. Although he can step on his feet, in the end the flow is a combination of magic and earth magic.
Although the magician couldn't touch the ground itself, he interfered with some of the flow and lifted it up and swung it like a whip.
Even me, I wondered at the sight of a monster protruding from the ground.
However, Jizan, one of the swords of the regressor, is the essence of earth art itself. Against the mage, the returner used Jizan's terrestrial skills to calm the ground.
'The power of Jiseon?! no way!'
While the magician witnessed the power of his old friend and was bewildered, the regressor, who felt that Jizan resonated with the earth magic, tilted his head and cut the ground with a light heart.
Then the meta conveyor belt broke.
With Jizan's sword marks as a boundary, the land that followed stopped as if a dam had been built.
When the aorta of the military was blocked, Jangseong-do, Majang-do, and Jeonchang-do, as well as the military headquarters, which had just come a short distance, were literally tied up. The soldiers were astonished at the terrible deeds of the returnees, but they had no choice but to watch as we were moving away.
This phenomenon did not last long. Even if it was to block the flowing river with a dam, it was rushed to the end. The pressure of the land jumped far beyond the water, and the dam quickly broke.
Still, it's the same as being tied down, and since you've noticed that this can break the flow anyway, you won't be able to approach it hastily… .
Well done, returner. If you have abundant energy and earth skills, you can even cut off the flowing land.
by the way.
“It’s nothing. If I had such a great ability, I should have told you sooner!”
“It’s the power of Jizan, what?”
Although he waved his hand pretending to be nothing special, the returnee was very happy inside. Just enough to shrug your shoulders.
'It's an amazing ability! Jizan's power can rule over those affected by the earth art. And most of all, I freely used the Earth Art that can only be used if you believe in the Earth Mother and be taught! This is a great achievement!'
okay. How happy I am to have unlocked a great new ability. Even speaking of land art, it's useful because it can be used in all sorts of places.
But return.
Does it sound like I'm praising you?
“Even if it’s Jizan’s power, Shay-san wields it the same! It is the owner who draws out the power of the weapon. Because Shay controls that power!”
“is it? hmm, what Because I used to use my strength even with a thousand cherry trees. It's not surprising that Jizan has similar powers.”
'okay. It's a waste to use Jizan only as a heavy stick. However, the only one who can properly handle Jizan's power is a Shinseng-class Earth Magician comparable to Jiseon, so I couldn't find it. That's why Seonghwangcheong also entrusted the recovered Jizan to me… .'
“If you have enough power, you should have used it sooner!”
“I also realized it during the battle. The magician was about to raise the ground and attack it, so I followed suit.”
'Even if it's dangerous, it's good practice first. Conflicts that occur in real life, because I often get my inspiration from sparks. fufu. I still don't have much confidence in my land art. If I could use all the powers of both Cheon-Aeng and Ji-Jan… !'
The regressor was as excited as when he discovered a new toy. So, for a while, she drew a hopeful future for her.
“Wow. You just drew the ground not knowing what would happen? Without thinking?”
“yes! … yes?”
'Without thinking? Something feels strange.'
Now you know, returner!
“A person who doesn’t even know his own strength just wields it? Do you know what the other person will be like?”
“uh?”
Wow. I split the question and answer ten times until I understood the meaning of my words. When the regressor sensed something, I drove the momentum.
“Are you kidding me? Damn it because I was ahead of Mr. Shay, otherwise I would have been swept away by the waves of the earth? That's not water. It's land! Even if you bury your feet, you will be trapped in a crevice of rocks. Do you feel like doing something like that?”
“Hey, it’s not for fun! The magician did something similar. I tried my best to stop it, and I finally came up with a good idea!”
“Finish? Good idea? Are you kidding me, really? If you have that kind of power, you have to think about using it strategically! If I could use earth art, I should have thought about it in advance and practiced beforehand!”
returner. I don't know why he's so convulsive in his personality, from idea to awakening.
Can't you just let me read a little bit of thought? The time between the idea and action is so short that even a mind reader won't be able to respond! You almost would have been swept away by the waves of dirt!
“Sah, the situation is urgent!”
“So, if I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry! No, Mr. Shay! A piece of tissue paper with power stuck in the corner of the room? If you have the power to break the ground, let me know in advance! If it were me, I would gather up all that power and try to use it properly!”
“what?! When we were fighting, we only talked about topics that didn’t even show our nose!”
“yes? What a denial of achievement. Can't you see this result now?”
I lifted the chain in my hand to a jingle. The chains tied somewhere briefly swayed.
At the end of it, the youngest general in the military. Musketeer Historia, the daughter of the military, was tied up. With her tired, languid eyes, she held a cigarette in her mouth.
“Here, who is this? Musketeer Historia. who caught him? right me Who tied him up like this and made him a prisoner? me too Who was the one who threatened the military generals with Historia so that they could not pursue them recklessly? This is me too!”
Facts, facts, facts, facts only. I do not know the process, but when I look at the result, I am the first contributor.
Even though there was clear evidence in front of him, the regressor continued to insist on what was wrong with him.
“I lost half of my strength and lost all my strength!”
“Ah, yes. Knocking it down halfway~ I replaced Majang with a half whistle~ I made the ground halfway through it~. Are you going to live your life so roughly without being sure of anything? What can you do dozens of times in your life?”
'Oh, how did you know… ?'
I guess I just said it, I should pass it on like this! How did you know! I can't even joke!
'No, I was just saying that. By the way, why do I have to listen to this? How hard I worked!'
“The last thing I faced was a butterfly! You just dealt with the exhausted Musketeer in moderation and tied him up!”
“It’s easy to say. If it was that easy, Shay would do it all, wouldn't he? If I had subdued Lia and tied her up in one second, I wouldn't have heard such a thing.”
'If that's the case, I would have done it sooner… !'
It was funny how he couldn't resist and flirt. I laughed teasingly and ruffled the chains.
“Dried beans are beans, and soaked beans are beans, so exhausted meat growth is also meat growth! Even if it's a fortress who is on the verge of dying from exhaustion, he's not vigilant, is perfectly prepared, and attacks with all his might! You have defeated and even captured the Six Great Walls!”
He pulled the chain again. Historia thought she was a cigarette, and she chewed it, but she realized later that she was actually a bastard.
“look at this. This ridiculous form of being incapacitated by being tied up with a strong chain on a subject that was a big helper!”
As I continued to pull and shake the chain, Historia, who became uncomfortable with planting, looked at me with a cold, subdued gaze.
“Stop pulling.”
“ha?”
There is a lot to say about the captured subject. Shaking my head, I approached Historia with her arms tied behind her back, and tapped her cheek.
“hey. Are you not even aware of your situation? You are a prisoner, a prisoner. uh?”
tuk, tuk. He slapped me on the cheek only to make me feel bad.
No matter what intention you act, it is difficult to expect that the intention will be communicated immediately. Because it is not a word with misunderstandings and misunderstandings for nothing. However, there is an exception for bullying that makes the other person feel bad. It is a dialogue method that produces honest results in the world.
As he continued to tap, Historia's mood worsened.
“I told you to stop.”
“What if you don’t stop? What are you going to do? uh? You're only a rank six, you're nothing more than a prisoner here, right? The prisoner raised his head stiffly, huh?”
𝑀𝑒𝑒 A sense of superiority to wield Eul in this overwhelming position of power. I feel good.
When I was in full swing. Historia, who had been counting her beats, turned her head fiercely in response to my next gesture. Her cheek slapped my hand hard.
With a bang, my hand jumped out like a whip.
… hurt.
My hand on the cheek hurts!
“… Mr Shay! Look at that prisoner! I slapped my hand in the face on a captive subject! Please scold me quickly!”
Historia, who had actually slapped my hand, turned her gaze back and forth with a languid face.
The returner murmured as if it was ridiculous.
“If you’re going to do it, you have to. It's your prisoner.”
“Are you going to be that cold? Even if I caught it, we are colleagues! Let's take responsibility together! The tied hexadecimal character is also hexadecimal character. What if we regain our strength, release our restraints, and attack us!”
“… groan.”
'That too. Unless you're going to kill them at all, you'll have to keep a close eye on them. uhm. First of all, keeping them captive is not a bad choice.'
The moment he took Historia as a prisoner, the movement of the military became noticeably slow. Except for the fact that she is familiar enough to be called the daughter of her military force, she is also one of the best forces in her army. Her incapacity was a huge power loss for her military.
Tyrkanzaka, the progenitor of regressors and vampires who wield swords of earth and sky. Even three isn't enough, but it's hard for a magician and a spearman to fight against it.
'I can cut off the land, so the other side can't send in the legion either. However, there are not enough six generals to attack with a small number of elites. Maybe we can negotiate with the military by putting the prisoners in front… . Uh, but the story is suspiciously good.'
The regressor, who had been thinking deeply, suddenly looked at Historia suspiciously.
'By the way, why was the musketeer so acquitted? He probably doesn't know what it means to be subdued… ?'
