Episode 120
“… Is it over now?”
Two men walked out from the shady shadows of the hallway. The identities of the two black men were Allen and Francisco.
“Yeah, I’ve been working hard enough for a few days, and I’ll be fine now.”
Francisca stepped out with a calm step and held out her hand.
Then, various living things crawl out of the mansion.
Wrinkling tentacles, winged eyes, expressionless shadows, and screaming white masks.
It was such a bizarre appearance that if she took her out immediately, she would be called a devil contractor.
‘Is that her magic? .’
Did I say Sangam magic?
Like the magic of fate, the line she created herself.
Her own magic that it is related to the abyss of human nature.
Seeing that figure, I could understand why she was called a witch in a previous life.
“Come on, go back in.”
As she waved her hand, the bizarre-looking monsters disintegrated into a black mist and disappeared.
Allen said thank you before proceeding.
“It was hard to move for a few days.”
“No, did you enjoy it?”
She smiled with a very happy face.
“The hardship is not only thanks to me, but to others who have helped.”
“I have to pay them back.”
“It depends on what Confucius does.”
She didn’t stop smiling. Allen knew what she was talking about.
‘I’ll have to decide soon.’
In fact, when I got information about Grandel and Whis Arona from Francisco, I was half-determined.
Let’s kill Grandel.
But Allen needed more solid evidence.
‘No, more than that… .’
I needed to be sure that I was right.
For that reason, immediately after checking the data received from her, I was able to smoothly proceed with the work by borrowing the power of those who harbored anger at Whis Arona’s evil deeds.
The status of those who suffered from Whis Arona varied.
Among them, there were those who were recognized for their talents by the common people and wanted to become wizards, while there were also some traditional magicians.
Even though they were weaker than Grandel, their power was never weaker.
It was just that he was getting angry because he couldn’t deal with the Master Ma Thap.
Allen was on the move for a few days and contacted them, and only after convincing them that they didn’t have to go out in person did Allen get help.
Thanks to that, we were able to smoothly exclude the people next to Whis Arona.
After that, he moved those who wanted to help even if he personally came forward to press Whiss Arona, making him mentally unstable.
The gap was further shaken by Francisca’s Sangam magic.
So the result was this.
The perfect whistle of Arona.
There was no one to disturb them in the close dukes of a few days, and Grandel’s interest was also outside the city at the same time.
There has never been a better opportunity than now.
“Sir, you must act quickly. In an hour, it’s time for the user to arrive with food.”
He approached the fallen Whiss Arona and turned his body over.
“What should I do now? Although his mental barrier was completely broken… .”
She looked down at him with disgust for a moment, then waved her hand.
A thin worm burrowed into his mouth according to her beast. After a while, Whis Arona’s eyes widened, and he looked at them with blank eyes.
“Are you unconscious?”
“yes that’s right. I can’t stand being mentally involved for a long time, so you’d better ask the question quickly.”
Allen recalled all the information about him and Grandel.
Grandel’s actions and Whis Arona’s evil deeds.
The harm they do and the consequences of doing so.
There was really a lot to ask.
What Grandel is trying to get by moving Whis Arona.
The truth about his true intentions and rumors.
‘Only the first question.’
It was the first thing to put an end to his troubles.
“Whis Arona, I will ask you.”
He looked up at Allen with blank eyes.
“You really are.”
Answer the truth, your true intentions.
“Do you think your actions are right?”
He answered.
“――――.”
Allen burst out laughing.
I have decided clearly how I will act in the future.
Next, it was his turn to hear Grandel’s answer.
A few tens of kilometers northwest of the town of Perta.
To the south, there was an elf forest, but the mountain was so steep and the deeper you went, the more monsters appeared.
There was a majestic army that could number in the thousands.
Thousands of skeleton soldiers.
Hundreds of banshee.
Dozens of Death Knights.
several lichs.
It was too much power to attack an ordinary city, but it was not enough to destroy Perta.
In the center of them, a man was sitting on a throne made by stacking goal towers.
White skin on a dry face.
Demon King Kaison.
Until a few decades ago, he was a notorious necromancer who roamed the southern part of the continent.
The man next to him, comparable to the skeleton, bowed his head to one of the crystal balls, regardless of the fact that he was sitting on the throne.
“Speak, my lord.”
“I’m going to hold the Magic Empress. Capture Perta within it, and if you fail to capture it, reduce the number of wizards thoroughly.”
“I will definitely bring them down!”
“Remember, you must reduce the number of wizards. Your performance will determine our future.”
At his words, Kyson banged his head in adoration.
“I will definitely not let you down!”
The action continued for five minutes after Sujeong-gu’s voice was cut off, and only after his entire face turned red did he stop acting.
He gave out a loud voice that did not match his skinny body.
“Unleash the protection of deception! They will burn without even knowing they are being attacked!”
The army roared silently.
Banshee flew up, and Death Knight rolled over.
As the Rich beckoned, five flags fluttered and the blessings engraved on them were activated.
“All this for the sake of the Demon King!”
Also, for our savior.
he murmured lowly.
The wave of death began to move.
It had been ten days since the Matup Exchange meeting started.
“ruler! Please arrange them properly. The place we are going into now is extremely dangerous.”
The exchange meeting ended successfully as of yesterday.
They fought back and forth, but as time passed, they exchanged ideas passionately, and broke up with satisfactory results.
From now on, there was only one schedule left.
Primitive Corridor.
The cause that made the tower city grow into the power of wizards.
This is the cause of the number of times the number of people at this exchange meeting, and the space that Grandel uses to deal with someone.
In Perta, the wizards were united using this pass as an excuse.
Often, when the primitive corridor was opened, it meant that the entrance time for the quarterly entrance was over.
‘That means, on the contrary, simple.’
Anyone can enter as long as they have a pass on time.
Academy students weren’t the only ones in this quarter’s primeval corridor.
From the pupils of the Magic Tower, the trainees of the school who were allocated tickets, and the children of the famous magic families who obtained the tickets through an auction.
The number of people entering was different.
It’s hard to notice even if someone mixes in there.
‘I hope Miss Franciska’s got things done as planned.’
Allen remembered Francis, and turned to the old man in the center.
Grandel, Lord of the Winds.
Other than him, no other person participated in this primeval corridor.
On the surface, it was said that he would open a primitive corridor with young wizards as the main axis, but Allen knew what was going on inside.
A mysterious disappearance in the city.
‘Is Heisel involved in this?’
The magicians of the tower put a lot of manpower to solve it, and Lilith was involved behind the incident.
All of this is Estodor’s plan to chaos the city.
‘Since Julius is out there, they will block this attack on their own.’
He only had to focus on one thing.
Allen properly loosened the tighter than usual clothes, and checked the preparations.
‘Muscle Strength Potion, Spirit Concentration Potion, Five Senses Activation Potion, Resilience Increase Potion, Anti-Magic Enhancement Potion, Holy Water of the Order… .’
The potion was obtained quickly with Margol’s help.
Relics were not prepared separately. To be helpful in the battle against the 7th rank wizard, at least a family heirloom relic was needed.
Also for single use.
Using a relic of that value in one battle was a waste, and it was impossible to obtain it within a short time.
‘… It seemed that other magic masters were willing to support them.’
It was a debt that would eventually come back.
In particular, it was better not to do anything that would prove that Allen himself killed Grandel.
He had no intention of giving someone else’s hand a weakness that could be tied to his own leash.
Not long after that, everyone gathered.
A few middle-aged wizards stood by Grandel’s side and amplified their voices.
“Now, in a little while, we will move using Bifrost. Don’t be too surprised, it’s different from normal space movement.”
Having received enough attention, they waited for the light to reach their body without much resistance.
Seven lights fell on them from the bifrost that lit up the city’s sky.
– flashing
When he woke up, he had already moved to another space.
The place they arrived was a secluded forest.
A place full of fresh air with green leaves sprouting thickly.
The green nature and the distant mountain view made it clear that this is a place that is not easily reached by humans.
“Wow… Look at the crazy mana concentration. Is it true?”
“… If you practice here, you will be dozens of times more out there.”
“For this reason, the tower has no choice but to be the center of wizards.”
Even the magicians of the tower looked around with curious faces as if it was the first time they had come in person, and the academy students were surprised by both commoners and nobles.
However, the impression Allen felt was a little different from theirs.
‘In an instant, space overlapped.’
Unlike the original spatial movement, which caused a wave of space, the movement using Bifrost was different from what he knew.
The few who used space magic also looked around with interesting faces.
‘It would be more appropriate to say that a space appeared on the spot rather than a movement.’
Their position has not changed.
At least in terms of the longitude of space they will be in the same position.
The moment they used Bifrost, they felt that they moved to the same location, overlapping different spaces.
‘It can never be made naturally.’
At that moment, as everyone looked around with cautious eyes as if they had grasped the situation to some extent, a voice resounded from the sky.
“I told you in advance, so you know.”
A huge face-shaped cloud opened its mouth over the sky.
The voice coming out of his mouth was Grandel, the lord of Matap.
“In the next four days, the Primordial Corridor will be closed. In the meantime, do whatever you want It doesn’t matter whether you’re training, researching this place, or exploring the ruins. only… .”
He spoke the warning with more serious eyes.
“Everything that happens here is your responsibility, so keep that in mind!”
When Grandel finished speaking, the clouds on his face dispersed in an instant and returned to the sky.
“then… , what will you do? Exploring as planned?”
“I have a map I got from the family, so wait a minute… .”
“I should practice training nearby. Dangerous is just disgusting.”
When Grandel disappeared, the students immediately moved on as planned.
Disappear with your teammates with the map you prepared, train in a suitable place as if you don’t want to take risks, or explore the surroundings saying you might be able to find a special summoned beast.
Allen moved to the place he had planned in advance among them, who moved according to various purposes.
A place with as little people as possible.
It was a place that ordinary students would never come to because of the gorge and the wind.
At the top of the canyon, someone was tied up.
A large body and a pale complexion as if he had starved for several days.
Whis Arona. He struggled as Allen approached.
“Eup… !”
After spending a few days with them he might have gotten used to, but he was still afraid of Allen.
“Miss Francisca has prepared it properly. so… .”
No need to delay.
Allen picked up Bestla.
The sharp blade of the sword pierced the thick skin.
Red blood gushed out, and white light gushed out of Whith Arona’s body.
“Now is the time to finish.”
Now that the bait is ready, all that remains is to prepare to hunt the dragon.
