108 – Do you want to fix this foot?
The word ‘decomposition’ is fitting, and the queen spider’s thread breaks in an instant in the air. All three of them were momentarily speechless at the sight of a red rain falling.
And everyone opened their mouths a beat late.
“Flan!”
“You are here!”
The fact that there is a huge monster in front of you and that you are currently stepping into a dangerous area has become an afterthought in front of the pleasure.
But Plan doesn’t even look at me.
“I have something to teach you, so you guys should focus on defense first.”
With her gaze fixed on the queen spider, she just spits out the story.
It wasn’t long before the three of them understood what he meant. Seemingly furious at the fact that his play was interrupted, the spider ran amok and swung his red thread.
Lewis quickly created several thin pillars of light. They overlap like bars to defend against attacks.
─Quaaang!
“What….”
I was dumbfounded, so the words leaked out on their own. Each strand of red thread feels like a steel whip.
Avoid hazardous areas if possible. No, definitely avoid it. The warnings I’ve heard over and over play spontaneously in my head once more.
“Huh? My ice shield!”
The defense struggled as well as the rest. Some of the whips even snapped off Becky’s ice shield.
“This is not the time to be so surprised!”
“Ah, yes!”
Every time the whip was blocked, the queen spider started to rampage even more.
The sight of hundreds of red whips crossing in the air in a dizzying way was a sight that in itself was hypnotic and disorienting.
“My arms are going numb!”

“….”
Hearing Becky’s cry, Trixie narrowed her eyes.
Normally, I would have urged Becky not to be rude, but now that doesn’t sound like a fuss at all. This was a really difficult beast to handle.
“Ugh!”
Sharp pain felt from below. At the same time, Trixie’s body floated into the air. At some point, a red thread was entwined around her girl’s ankle.
“If you are a wizard, you should have a wide field of vision.”
Plan gave her a piece of advice and cut her thread. Her ankles, which she thought had been caught lightly, were bruised as if they had been whipped.
‘I can’t go to a long battle.’
It’s okay as long as you allow an attack or two. But the real problem was the fact that he had to fight longer and longer while injured.
In that case, the only thing to do is to fight the game with one shot. Trixie put all her strength into the blue flame and shot it in a straight line.
No matter how dangerous a beast is, there’s no way he’ll be fine if he gets hit like this. The moment I thought so.
The spider beast pulled her thread and leaped into the air, dodging Trixie’s flames.
“Did you avoid it?”
It goes beyond just being violent, and even possesses intelligence. Thinking that you have to engage in psychological warfare also makes your spine run cold.
Can you defeat this beast with your current level?
Having doubts means not being sure. If Plann hadn’t joined, Trixie would have been one of the corpse puppets.
One by one, the faces of the representatives turn toward one person. Of course it was flan.
“Good. Let’s stop here first.”
Flan muttered and stretched out his hand.
“Pl… “
Becky, who was about to say his name out loud, spat out the last word and couldn’t make it. Exactly, he didn’t feel the need to tie the knot.
Plan only stretched out one of his hands.
The urgency of the situation and the urgency in my heart disappeared at once. Finally, his hand grasps the red thread.
It seems that the paint is spreading somewhere. It was surprising that he held the whip-like thread with his hand, but the sight of it gradually turning blue was even more shocking.
Trixie unknowingly stole his gaze. The green that he likes in his original form spread out in front of his eyes.
Next moment.
“Kieack!”
The spider lost its freedom and began to be treated like a toy. She bites her body, twists it, and leads herself to death.
Quadd Deuk.
The sound of something snapping hit the ears of the three. The spider witch who reigned as queen soon became nothing more than a corpse.
“….”
Trixie involuntarily blinked. It was a pity, if it was regrettable, that she had not been able to see the blue that she wanted to hold for longer.
The moment everyone wanted to say thanks to him.
“You will just have to get used to the difficulty.”
Plan’s words were faster.
“Rather, this is on the weak side. You guys are forward-“
The three of them had no choice but to quietly listen to his teachings that lasted for a while.
◈
After a few tips, I didn’t move right away. Because there were two things I had to do before moving forward.
The first of these was minimal courtesy.
I didn’t want the bodies of those who had already left the world to be mocked, so I made a temporary coffin and put the bodies of the knights in them.
Next to me, Louis and Becky muttered one word at a time with solemn faces.
“Sorry. Even if we are not in any relationship.”
“Sure. I must say I was unlucky….”
However, my interest was in the sense of incongruity. The reason for not closing the lid of the coffin was not a memorial to them, but a simple question.
‘In the first place, it is not a skill that can be easily defeated.’
When I was in the temporary shelter, I confirmed the strength of the nearby knights and activated the magic circle.
That is not the only question. Rather than being possessed by demonic beasts, this corpse….
“I’ll check it myself from now on.”
I shook my head and brushed off my thoughts.
Anyway, sooner or later you will find out the truth.
I did the second of the remaining tasks. It was a treat. Healing magic was applied over the wounds of the representatives.
It’s only at the level of first aid, but nothing is as important as first aid in a long-term battle.
“Wow. Something is surprising.”
“Sure. I really didn’t expect this.”
Becky and Louise exchange glances with their eyes wide open. To them, the very fact that I was treating them seemed like a big deal.
I clicked my tongue.
“You guys take a lot of work. There is no second time.”
“No. Plan, I didn’t mean to say no.”
Becky hurriedly waved his hands from side to side. For a while, he looked at me with new eyes.
“Uh…. Hey there, flan.”
At some point, Becky opened her mouth again.
“You mean that spider, is it really weak?”
“Perhaps. It’s not like we have to deal only with demons from now on.”
“… Um, that’s right.”
Becky’s face showed a little worry. I just said a few words to her.
“There is no need to be afraid.”
“Huh? Ah, yes. I will.”
She blinks her eyes a couple of times. The head that swung to her side was a little red.
“If Plan says so, then so be it. Huh.”
Muttered Becky as she tapped the ground with her tiptoe.
But the fact that she doesn’t have to be scared isn’t just a word to comfort Becky. Rather, she was closer to the fact that she could spit it out calmly.
“By the way, Plan, are you okay?”
This time Louis asked how I was doing. Not a courtesy greeting, he was actually concerned about me now.
“Is that a question?”
“Ahahahaha, is it obvious? I just did it because I was grateful.”
Lewis smiled brightly.
“Actually, if you abstain from us, it’s easier for you. Plan, you can do it well enough by yourself. But I’m curious and thankful that you’re taking care of us.”
“Doesn’t it sound like you want to reach a high level?”
“Huh?”
I spoke quietly to him.
“It is as it is said.”
“Um…. Right. I want to reach 6th place or higher.”
Lewis cautiously gives an answer. First of all, that kind of answer was enough.
“It only helps a little.”
The president of the Faculty of Magic. Cornette had promised me that he would organize a class if the subjugation system was successfully completed.
Three gemstones, an item related to the ancient rune word sleeping in the danger zone, and the result of the subjugation.
These three elements will surely serve as a compass for those who follow. I hope that magic will become great in this world as soon as possible.
‘Even the growth is not bad.’
Even the members themselves don’t seem to be aware of it yet, but the three of them are growing rapidly.
And that’s why they’re willing to treat you.
‘I was thinking of giving up if there was no hope.’
The fact that you have defended yourself against the queen spider’s attack, the fact that you are breathing normally in this place where the airflow is turbid, the fact that you are maintaining your composure….
I can’t explain all of this with the word ‘lucky’. In other words, even now, all three of them are developing the skills to support themselves.
The desire to grow more naturally arises. When I saw them, I thought of ‘original stones’ and my eyes were not wrong.
The Imperial Family, who have recently begun to take an interest in the Faculty of Magic, will soon realize its value.
My thoughts stopped at that point. Trixie’s treatment was still left.
“Put your foot out. Trixie.”
“….”
Trixie, however, rather slipped his foot back. He shakes his head as if he’s okay.
“I’m fine.”
“I don’t want you to bother me.”
“I’m fine…. Awesome!”
He took a backward step and then hit his butt.
Trixie desperately hid her feet. He licks his lips a few times and turns his head around.
I sighed and looked at her.
To say that I am fine is, of course, a lie. Her left foot didn’t seem to move at all.
I didn’t want to waste time. I used my telekinesis to grab her ankle.
Trixie reacted with her shoulders trembling.
“What, what are you doing? I said it was fine.”
Instead of answering, I cast a healing spell on her ankle. Trixie soon changed her words, as if it was a bit far-fetched to think that she was fine.
“Somewhere else. Do it while looking elsewhere.”
Trixie was fidgeting and covered her face with her palms, and it wasn’t long before she knew why.
I could see her tanned feet. As soon as she confirmed my gaze, she added that Trixie hastily.
“… I told you not to look Because it’s ugly.”
I returned a question instead of an answer.
“Why are her feet like this?”
“Why are you fighting all of a sudden?”
Trixie opened her eyes in amazement, but as soon as she met my innocent gaze, her expression relaxed slightly.
I asked again quietly.
“There must be a reason for this.”
“I don’t remember because it was a long time ago. Are you done healing?”
Trixie tried to pull her foot out as if she were running away.
But I got hold of him. Upon closer inspection, I could see the cause. The soot of her magical power remained intact on the top of her feet.
I asked again, this time differently.
“Do you want to fix this foot?”
“….”
Trixie hesitated for a moment, then answered quietly.
“I’m asking something obvious.”
Washing away the soot from magic isn’t as complicated as you might think. However, I am a person who considers these wounds an honor.
“Not ugly at all.”
First of all, I just spit out that much.
At that moment, Trixie’s body stiffened strongly. She gasped, her mana dissipating wildly.
Trixie looked at me, blinking her eyes several times. Her eyes flashed with a mixture of shock and doubt.
“What, what.”
She pulled her foot out a beat late and she hurriedly stood up. From the looks of it, it appeared to be fine.
She brushed the bangs in front of her forehead over and over again. In the end she said just one word.
From noble mtl dot com
“… You are strange.”
That was an unusually sharp tone.
◈
After finishing the treatment, I led the representatives to the dangerous area in earnest.
As I walked, the road was complicatedly divided into two or three, but I never hesitated because I had a map.
And when you finally stand at the end of the road.
“What is this?”
“Temple? It’s huge.”
All three opened their eyes wide and surveyed their surroundings.
What appeared before my eyes was a huge temple. Its size alone is enough to arouse admiration.
Becky parted his lips nervously.
“Are you going to go inside from now on?”
Right after she said that.
“Huh?”
─Coo goo goo!
The entire ground began to shake as the purple mist filled the field of view.
“I can’t see!”
“Everyone be careful, are you by my side right now?”
By the time the fog disappeared and I regained my sight, the road I had been walking on had turned into a gloomy forest.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Becky’s forehead.
“The terrain in the danger zone changes in real time…. In reality, it feels like this.”
“Thanks to you, the options disappeared. Now I have no choice but to go inside the temple.”
Louis stood beside her, sticking out his tongue, and helped.
I calmly led them.
“I was planning to go inside the temple anyway.”
As if the terrain changed in an instant, the three of them looked back from time to time while chasing after me.
My interest was in the inside of the temple. Because there were beings who radiated intensely as if they were going to show off their energy.
Trixie pursed her lips with a serious face, as if I wasn’t the only one who sensed such energy.
“… There’s something inside. A bit dangerous.”
We walked along the straight hallway of the temple.
This place, which should have been filled with antique decorations, is now covered with the corpses of demons.
And finally, when I started to see the end of the corridor, I was able to face the owner of the intense energy.
‘Knight.’
As expected, they were knights, not beasts.
No, but you can’t even call it a pure article.
After finding our party, they also started talking to each other.
“This time the wizards are here.”
“It’s better. I wanted to hold them accountable for arbitrarily dragging them into the danger zone.”
Listening to their conversation, I calmly regained my energy. At the same time, I felt a strange familiarity.
Then. Becky, who was next to her, recognized her.
“Kian of the Blue Cloud Knights? Why, that…. The guy who lost all his points to me at the gambling house!”
“Something like that happened. You’re still not my type~ but I’m glad to see you.”
Blond hair and blue eyes. Becky, who was examining it closely, frowned at him.
“Woo-wook, you feel it. Why are they blocking the hallway here?”
Hearing Becky’s words, Kian tried to react to something, but before that I spoke up.
“Did you say Kian?”
I finally realized the identity of the sense of incongruity.
The Chungwoon guys are still exuding strong energy, and my spirit never lies.
“Why did you kill the other group of knights?”
Silence fell for a moment.
But it is clear. Because the aura I felt at first glance from the corpse and theirs matched perfectly.
However, this is not purely an article.
Rather, it’s closer to Mine’s.
“Hmm….”
Qian rubbed his chin for a while, contemplating.
He rolled his eyes from side to side once, then exchanged glances with the other blue luck knights once.
And finally.
He withdrew his smile in an instant and shrugged.
“Why?”
The veins above his neck were black.
