Episode 126
Julius didn’t know what to say.
What are you doing now, and why are you wearing a magi?
In fact, it was too much of a shock to say such a thing.
Julius remembered many things about the original protagonist, Heisel.
Heisel is the former Demon King.
However, after reincarnation, he was also a human being. In the original story, it was decided to accept human life.
He uses magic that he swore he would never use again, which he wouldn’t have brought out unless it was in a really desperate situation?
“… What are you doing now?”
Julius’s voice subsided.
However, even with such Julius’s appearance, Heisel asked with a face without much emotion.
He gave a frivolous smile that didn’t match his indifferent expression.
Heisel has always been like that.
In serious situations, in dangerous moments, even in situations like now.
Even in the chaotic situation of the city being attacked, he had a nonchalant face.
You will get used to it.
Such confusion, the screams and madness of war, and the noise of battle must have been with him all his life.
That was the original main character, and it was also the figure that readers liked.
“Why are you wearing a magi?”
“Because there’s no choice but to do that?”
Heisel shrugged as if asking such a question.
“What… !”
Julius, who opened his mouth to say no to that excuse, barely calmed his anger.
Julius pondered the original after a long time.
No, rather than the original, I tried to understand as much as possible the circumstances and emotions that Heisel would have gone through.
‘At first, while turning around Heisel, he announced the existence of demons in advance in order to get the original lead and lead role in the meantime.’
How did Heizel act after that?
Imagine
Based on the actions of his original work.
‘Heisel has basically no affection for humans.’
Because he lived for a long time as a Demon King, it might be natural.
But since I was reincarnated as a human, I tried to adapt to it and live as a human.
The academy is the place where it gradually grows through those occasions.
‘If, because of the fact that Heisel made known the existence of demons before he became attached to humans… .’
What if he cared more about demons than humans.
What if the starting point of all the events of living a human life, having a human heart, and feeling a human bond was wrong because of you?
Julius bit his lip at the assumption that was gradually realized.
‘I was wrong.’
Heisel is a ‘human’ who grows up through various events at the academy.
It’s not a ‘character’ that acts like it was fixed from the beginning… .
[Stop the Estodor attacking the city, and defeat the Demon King! Time limit: 1:44:12]
[Reward: Ayern’s Touch (S)]
The moment I was about to deepen my thoughts, a quest window popped up as if to cut them off.
Because of that, Julius forgot what he was just thinking about. No, I was more interested in the reward than that.
‘… It’s an elixir whose recipe was lost a few years ago.’ If there is only that, it is possible to revive a corpse just before death or a person who has been dead for less than 5 minutes.
He came to his senses with the quest time left, and opened his mouth to Heisel, who was staring at him as if he was doing something.
“… Heisel, then what do you want to do?”
Heisel, who opened her eyes wide for a moment at those words, fell into thought.
Julius continued his speech as if penetrating the gap.
“You too have to live in the human world. If the raids continue like now, there will be a huge gap in the wizard’s power.”
Don’t appeal to emotions.
The only time Heisel gets emotional is when he remembers the past.
Then, taking the future, not the present, hostage.
“Estodor’s purpose is the coming of the Demon King, Heizel, as you know, if the Demon Lord invades here again, you will not be safe either.”
“Hmm… , that is correct.”
After thinking for a while, he nodded.
“By the way.”
Heisel’s voice resounds.
Magi disappeared from his body covered with magic in an instant.
The moment Julius was relieved, his spine shivered and his instincts sounded an alarm.
“How long are you going to look at me with such unpleasant eyes?”
Julius let out a lightning bolt without thinking about the remaining magical power.
Julius forcibly straightened the body that had bounced back.
As he raised his head, Heisel looked down at him as coldly as if he had ever been smiling.
“I asked, ‘How long are you going to look at me with those eyes?”
Julius touched his eyes without realizing it, and later realized that his eyes had been dyed iridescent.
‘… When did the rainbow magic eye activate?’
He blinked and saw the figure of Heisel again.
His body was a mixture of black and white, and later, his body shimmered in a strong red.
As soon as he made eye contact with Heisel, he immediately turned off his rainbow eyes.
“It seems you don’t know. Well, okay. I think it’s already too late if I tell you.”
He looked at Julius with pity for a moment and turned around.
His body, heading beyond the darkness of the black sewer, was buried in the shadows, and Hygel’s voice echoed through the passage.
“As you said, if the Demon King appears, we will lose, too, so we will not step forward from here.”
Heisel gave an annoying answer as if asking another question.
“Literally. I’m not going to cause any more confusion here, but I’m not going to come forward either.”
The small voice added annoyance as if to stop asking.
Julius, who was about to ask if he could take over as the Spirit King, kept his mouth shut at the sight of many people approaching Hygel.
“… under.”
Is it my fault?
No, it’s not your fault.
At the same time as asking himself, Julius sighed at the self-answering that came to his mind.
“A selfish bastard.”
After many battles and wars, I realized how Heisel judged this situation.
In his view, he decided that he would be able to block this attack with the power of the city of Mato.
However, between the calculation and judgment, the number of lives to be sacrificed and the number of reduced power must not be included.
‘I think it’ll be okay if I just stop the Demon King somehow… .’
The remaining undead are enough for the wizards of the city of Mato.
Even the traitors who block the use of Burning Rainbow and Bifrost will be able to subdue them if time permits.
So, if you just leave the King of Spirits in charge for a while, you will be able to reduce the twist of the original as much as possible.
“… After that, you just have to hold on as much as possible.”
The purifying property in his thunderbolt and the unicorn’s horn that further strengthens it.
Maybe it’s possible if you can endure it.
I didn’t have time to be like this.
A huge wave of magical power that would cover the entire city collided.
“Fardel, what the hell are you doing! I’m afraid I’m really going to betray you.”
“Ugh… I used to think that I was quick to notice, but this time it’s really surprising.”
A huge orb of fire falls on the city.
Barden frowned and waved his hand.
At his will, a ray of light exploded a fireball, blocking the attack.
“I thought I was going to have an accident with that impatience, but was it enough to destroy the city where I had been living for decades?”
“Barden, you don’t know. A young man like you doesn’t know. How desperate it is to realize that he cannot rise above.”
“Only because of that… .”
“Not at all!”
Flowers of fire lit the city’s sky.
“Anyone who is on the verge of transcendence cannot step on the boundary? Haha, I guess I was right.”
Contrary to its appearance, the beautifully spreading flower contained a cool death.
Barden breathed a sigh of relief as he blocked the attack that fell on the city again.
‘… Was the content of the letter correct?’
I received a letter from an anonymous person saying that there was a traitor among the matap masters.
At first, I thought there would be only a handful of craftsmen trying to create a rift between each other, or even if there were real traitors.
“I will betray even the Tower of Darkness and Water.”
“Didn’t they think the same as me?”
At Barden’s disappointing tone, Fardel smiled violently and looked at the other direction of the city.
The mage of the earth and iron that had gone out to cut off the wave of the undead coming into the city was blocking the mage of darkness and water.
“Tsuk, I thought it was quiet when the Freezing School became independent. The darkness is not so surprising.”
Fire, water, earth, iron, wind, darkness, light.
Since Grandel, Lord of the Tower of Wind, is in the Primitive Corridor, except for him, half of the six have betrayed him.
The undead are completely under the control of spirit magic.
If only the Demon King was removed, half of this would be solved.
When the movement was blocked, the damage was bound to increase.
“Are you going to fight to the end?”
“It’s already late, what are you hesitating about? Barden I always wondered about your skills. You are the master of the Tower of Light, and I did not like it.”
The air was boiling.
The heat soared to such an extent that it was burning as if the world was on fire. Red flames spread fiercely, creating a huge area of fire.
Barden also dyed his whole body in light as he was about to unfold his new role.
If you’ve come this far, you can’t stop.
The light that hit the sky rushed towards him in an instant. A pool of light was created, and Barden’s voice thundered in the middle.
“I will finish it quickly.”
“… Whatever it is, it must be!”
Two people competing for the 1st and 2nd ranks of combat power among Matapju started the battle.
The first sight Julius saw after coming out of the underground waterway was a wave of magical power.
The huge wave of magical power felt throughout the city probably means that the battle of the mage masters has begun.
When the momentum that seemed to destroy the whole world collided one after another, Julius felt that his skills were lacking.
‘… I thought I’d gotten a little stronger too.’
You can’t defeat a single mage.
That fact made him feel helpless.
I’ve been working hard so far, but it’s only this much.
‘I have to go to that place immediately.’
So far, I refrained from mentioning it as a dangerous place in the original work, but seeing the scene in front of me, I felt like I had to go there to get stronger.
But before that.
‘You must stop the Demon King.’
I don’t know what would happen if the original was twisted.
What if the demon lord descends faster with this?
It was terrible.
Julius put on the cloak of the broken hideout.
His presence faded, feeling the vitality of the living, and the running undead stopped their footsteps.
He smashed the ground at that moment.
The other undead did not touch as much as possible.
Just before he left the city to escape the battle, someone called out his name.
Did you hear it already? No, what’s my name… .
At the time when he was bewildered that the hideout’s cloak was really broken, it was Reina who appeared in front of him.
“… How are you?”
At Julius with a surprised face, Reina smiled as usual.
He handed something to him, who was at a loss for what to say.
What she held in her hand was the ring of the lucky rabbit, which he had entrusted to her for a while.
However, when I entrusted it to her, the outside was discolored black, unlike the only C-class, and unreadable text was added to the inside of the ring.
[Rabbit Ring of Bad Luck (A)]
worse than worst.
A chance to get out of bad luck.
Julius’s eyes widened after seeing the effect.
“how… .”
This ring is not a relic.
No, even if it was a relic, it was difficult to strengthen it to this extent.
“I’ll explain why later, so take it with you. I came here because of this.”
Julius hesitated for a moment, then put the ring on.
‘If you have this ring, the probability of stopping it will increase.’
I wondered how Reyna augmented her artifacts, but after all of this is over, it’s something to find out.
“Then see you later.”
“Confucius, be careful.”
Julius’s heart became lighter.
There is an opportunity to get out of the crisis.
Reina, who was seeing off Julius, completely changed her expression when he disappeared.
“… I must have been late.”
The organization urgently ordered her to deliver the ring to him.
It was an instruction that came because Kasha-sama said that a big variable had arisen in a hurry and that the ring’s assistance was not necessary.
The noise of the battle grew louder.
After some time passed, a lightning bolt was seen from the center of the undead, as the waves of death hit.
It started.
she turned around
Now her job is to greet Julius who is returning from the battle.
so that he becomes more accustomed to himself.
