194 – Just in time
Although they kidnapped Berian, unfortunately no useful information could be obtained.
Who is the sponsor?
Why are we researching teleportation?
Because you want to engrave your name in history? Maybe it’s simply pure curiosity about magic.
Lucia had no way of knowing what Siron was thinking, but all she could do was make a simple guess.
Interrogation, threats, and even torture… there’s nothing they won’t do to get information in their own way.
Even if he showed a pile of gold coins piled up like a mountain or tried to steal information by casting mind control magic, Varian responded indifferently like a dead-end wall.
No, if I had to use an analogy, Varian was not like a wall, but like a doll with a frightened expression.
Although unfounded, Lucia got the impression that Varian was acting like that even though he wasn’t intimidated at all.
However, even in the midst of that, it wasn’t without income at all.
It happened out of a small question of what it would be like to teach him teleport, a study he devoted his whole life to.
-Uh, what’s wrong with this bastard?
– Why are you looking at me? Did I do nothing?
The moment he stared at Seira’s teleport spell. Varian passed out with his eyes wide open.
For a moment, he was worried that the torture had ruined him, but whether it was fortunate or not, Varian soon regained consciousness.
thump- and
When Varian, who had fainted as if a thread had been cut, came to his senses. Something unbelievable happened.
He had no recollection of the process from the moment he was kidnapped to the present. Even Sei, who did not believe in superstition, would scream in fear at the time, so it was clear that it was something that could not be explained even with magic.
Strangely, that wasn’t the only thing.
I don’t know how surprised I was when dozens of figures appeared simultaneously in the middle of the night, probably the day after I kidnapped Trainee Berian.
Lucia, who was shocked, killed all the assailants who had no idea where they had come from.
The regret of having to torture myself did not last long.
Even though it had only been a few days since then, the next attack came.
The second were strange beasts with black flames all over their bodies. Even in broad daylight, they flew by with bright light and a roar like a shooting star, so I knew where they came from even if I didn’t necessarily want to know.
Lucia caught the clue and killed them all.
The third were wizards who constantly fired magic filled with ominous mana.
Lucia, who waited at the place where they would come out, killed them all.
and fourth. Lucia cast a cold glance at the group that had fallen from the sky. I haven’t counted in detail, but it seems to be at least thirty.
However, no matter how many they were, it was not worth worrying about for the girl who grabbed the sword. Lucia, who had promised to kill them all this time, shook her hands and raised her sword at an angle.
“Cry, Sirius.”
The white sword steel swallowed the sword of the stars. If Shiron saw it, it would have been a disgusting technical name shouting, but after a while, all enemies would die anyway.
Lucia thought that her appearance was embarrassing in her heart, but on the other hand, she thought that shouting the skill name was genuinely cool.
A creepy smile appeared on Lucia’s lips.
The knights in blue armor drew their swords, feeling an unknown emotion.
Grumbling-
The knights did not shout out technical names. Black flames rise up their sword bodies and take the form of a sword river.
However, that is not a sword.
It is a magic that makes the hair on your entire body stand up and your nasal passages become bitter. Lucia was a person who knew well what true swordsmanship was, and was a sword master who could completely distinguish between truth and lies.
And, I knew well that no matter where I looked in the world, there was no human being that radiated magical energy. Lucia was relieved that they were not humans and increased the size of her sword.
Cough!
Without anyone saying anything, they jumped at each other. The black flames were burning not only the sword but also the entire armor before long, and Lucia felt strong heat on her face.
Does not matter. The moment I felt the heat, the armor blocking my nose split in half. Jeouk- Red, fishy filth flew in the air.
‘One guy.’
Lucia felt the thrill in her hand and raised her head. It stopped in the position right before the opponent jumped in. It wasn’t that I couldn’t move because I was afraid. The more I disperse my consciousness, the slower the enemies move.
in accelerated consciousness. Lucia looked at her next opponent and gave her strength. Mana burns and creates a form of flame. Half moon flames were engraved in the air. A tail of flame is drawn along the sword’s trajectory.
The swung sword passes by as if passing through armor. I can’t even feel the taste of my hands anymore. Sirius, clad in white steel, becomes a sword sharper than anything in the world. It was cut at a speed that the criminal could never perceive, so there was no sound at all like something was being cut, and only a loud explosion hit his ears instead.
Leaving the white trail behind, Lucia kicked the ground again.
The swung sword passes by as if passing through armor.

I swung my sword. The swung sword passes by as if passing through armor.

like that,
During about thirty slashes, the knights had no idea what had happened to them. Those who died without even swinging a sword were torn apart in the footsteps of the sword as if they were being sucked in.
Lucia shook her sword, which had no dirt on it, into the air. It was an act to protect the sword from foreign substances, but Lucia simply thought it was cool, so she turned the sword and looked back at the trajectory she had taken.
A frighteningly wonderful sight unfolded. The sword’s trail traced its tail among over 30 pieces of armor.
The scenery that appears to be still for a moment slowly begins to move. The sword’s trajectory was sucked between the waist belts, and the corpses belatedly fell to the floor.
In the subsequent fall, Lucia was truly intoxicated with her wonderful self. She didn’t know why the sword’s trajectory remained in the air, but she just assumed she was in a trance.
“…I have to bring Seira.”
After the battle, only Siron’s request remained intact in Lucia’s mind.

Four days later, the fifth attack came.
A huge bridge emerges from the clouds. Coooooo! The golden giant stepped on the ground and the entire ground turned over. The tremors created in the aftermath of the battle shook the entire ground, and its effects even reached distant mansions.
“So, how many more times does something like that come back?”
Eldrina said, staring at the window that was shaking as if it was about to break.
Siron turned his back and answered confidently.
“There are seven left.”
“Really? Then when will it end?”
“The interval between attacks is getting shorter, so it will probably end within ten days.”
“You seem to know strangely detailed things.”
“It’s all thanks to the power of prophecy.”
“okay?”
Eldrina looked back with a venomous look on her face. It was better to see the obnoxious man who would become my future son-in-law than to see the flower garden that I carefully cultivated be ruined by an earthquake.
“Then, let’s use the prophecy to predict when Siron Prien will become engaged to Siriel.”
“…”
“Of course, from what I heard, they said they were getting engaged within the last week. Surely there’s no way my son-in-law-to-be is a liar, and at least ten days from now is possible, right?”
“Uh… that’s it.”
Siron tried to face the venomous gaze directly.
“As you know, Eldrina, there is a special power that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family, but… what is it? There is a very evil god? It is the power of foresight given to stop that bastard… I cannot divine personal affairs, right? “
“so?”
“Yes. And with such an ominous danger looming, wouldn’t it be better to at least do it after this incident is over? There is such a thing as an atmosphere. The perfect atmosphere to propose.”
Siron spoke hastily and took out a very luxurious-looking box from his pocket. Click – the box opened and a beautiful light caught Eldrina’s eyes.
It’s a pass. It’s a worthy gift for my precious daughter. Eldrina chewed her tongue to suppress a satisfied smile.
“…I also know that you didn’t put it off because you wanted to postpone it. Now that I’ve prepared the ring like this, I can propose to you at any time, as long as the situation is okay, just like you said.”
“Then why are you urging me?”
“The problem isn’t me, it’s Siriel.”
Coooooo!
Ignoring the roar from behind, Eldrina rubbed her brows again.
“You know that kid is busy with the Knights these days, right?”
“I heard that you will be with your uncle on the next expedition.”
Shiron nodded briefly and replied.
I heard from Lucia not too long ago that, except for the time at the academy, Siriel was spending most of her time preparing to inherit the Knights.
The so-called successor class. Siriel was preparing to lead the Changchun in place of Hugo.
“Cyriel can’t fully focus on the successor class. Do you know how much he wants to go to help you every morning?”
“…Is that so?”
Did something like that happen? Shiron was completely unaware of this fact because he had been living only in the basement for the past few years.
“I agree with you about waiting for the right time, but Siriel is my daughter. She’s not the kind of woman who’ll suck her thumb and wait when the person she loves is right in front of her eyes…”
Eldrina massaged her temples again as if her bones were in pain.
“Siriel, the more I take successor classes, the more I feel like I’m starting to feel a future apart from you.”
“…”
“And, if I inherit the Order, I will end up being away from home for a long time and often, just like my father. Isn’t it natural to worry that other stray cats will steal my food bowl while I’m away?”
“…What can I do? This mess has happened.”
From noble mtl dot com
Siron stroked his chin and looked out the window.
A sword river hundreds of meters long was slaughtering the golden giant.
“Siriel will not care about the time or place if the opponent is you.”
Eldrina also sighed as she watched the same scene.
“Can’t we just get engaged today?”
“Isn’t this a one-time proposal? Since Eldrina-sama also knows him, isn’t she keeping the engagement plan a secret from Siriel?”
Shiron shook his head at Eldrina who was screaming in pain.
“I don’t think that Siriel is an immature child who can’t wait even ten days. I believe that Siriel will be kind.”
Shiron replied neatly and put the ring box into his bosom.
