(EP.256)Like the Wind #1
256 – Like a fleeting wind #1
Everything about the fairy swordsman Opal von Belhawk was charred and scattered to ashes.
Like a fleeting wind. It just vanished in vain.
“… … .”
As only the smell of sweet smell drifted in the wind, the still silence descended heavily.
They must have lost their words because they were overwhelmed by the will of the fairy that they had seen just before they died. My heart started pounding too late.
lived… .
The joy of survival and the belated tension shake the heart and make my eyes dizzy. Soon, a calm thought activates inside, which had been filled with excitement.
“Only lived.”
I was glad that my whole body’s magic touched it. If it wasn’t for the cooperation of Elgar, Stella, and Narmi, it would have been a spell that would never have succeeded.
If it had been an opal in perfect condition, such slow anti-magic would never have hit me.
“after.”
dump.
I sat down on the floor with a deep sigh. From that point on, as if the stopped world was moving again, the sound of people breathing was heard one after another.
-Are you done?
– I don’t know either.
But it was still too early to be relieved.
“Elgar, there are still people in the mansion. Miss Narmi is also in the mansion!”
“okay? Anyway, Draco guys, you make both your sister and your little brother eat.”
Elgar soon ordered the soldiers to enter the confused Belhawk mansion. At the same time, don’t forget to move the casualties and wounded.
“My name is Elliot, the healer of Lioness. Do you have any injuries?”
The healer of the Golden Army applied medicine to the vital organs on my face and arms.
It was only a scratch on an arm or leg, but it could lead to a serious infection, so it is better to treat it quickly.
“Hurry up, get inside! Request reinforcements too! Catch all the suspicious looking bastards! I have a lot of questions to ask, so don’t forget to capture them!”
People who follow Elgar’s instructions in perfect harmony. Watching them slowly put an end to this chaos, I sat down on the bed of the barracks made of simple materials.
On the bed next to me, Stella with bandages on her face and body was sitting. What she is looking at is probably an arrowhead, though it has been charred with pointed metal.
I could see that it was the tip of the arrow she had pierced into her brother, Opal. Perhaps he was immersed in emotion. Because you defeated your brother.
Still, if it hadn’t been for her arrows, I might have been dead by now. At the end of the day, the opal appeared towards me. Because it was so ugly that it literally cut off my neck.
I’m glad the tempo stopped in the middle.
“The opal… .”
Then Stella opened her mouth. In the midst of this, it must have been clear that she was trying to say something important by opening her mouth, so I listened to her small voice.
“Opal is a precious gem. When processed, it shines colorfully with countless brilliance. It really shines beautifully in so many colors, so it’s something to be proud of.”
“… … .”
“However, if you don’t do it, it quickly deteriorates. It scratches well too. not easily broken It was just that.”
I didn’t say anything.
Because I didn’t know how Stella would feel right now.
* * *
It took more than a full day to end the chaos in the Belhawk Mansion. It was only suppressed by the further deployment of Lioness’ army.
All of this was done in the name of ‘detection and suppression of illegal experiments within the Belhawk family’.
Actually, it wasn’t all that smooth.
ㅡHey, this is wrong! What right do you have to capture me, the director of Belhawk! I’ll call a lawyer!
-Okay, so let’s calmly take the rope.
There were people who protested, but the evidence around them is already overflowing. .
“Tae-oh, look at this!”
Bellhawk’s charred and burnt mansion. The next day in bright light, patrolling and monitoring the progress of work, I turned my head to someone calling me.
The first thing he saw was blue cotton candy.
ㅡ Kyu-Iing.
what is this
“Miss Narmi. What is this?”
“Come on Cloudring! It’s a very rare object. I picked it up this time in the Bellhawk Lab!”
The creature that Narmi put on her head with ointment on her face looked like a fluffy ball of fluff. In a way, it was like cotton candy.
“When I give him water, he calms down. I must have been thirsty.”
“okay.”
ㅡ Ying yaing.
Just a weird creature.
“This guy, can I take it with me? You worked hard, but you can take a piece of loot with you. Is not it?”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi seemed to like that mysterious creature.

Confused in various ways, I simply replied vaguely, “It can be used as evidence to prove the charges against the Belhawk family, so you should submit it later if necessary.”
“Yingying, you’re living with me now!”
ㅡ Kyu-Iing.
I’m out of my mind
Except for this cloudling or something, strange subjects and their traces could be easily found in various places in this mansion.
-Damn, that crazy nymph. Finally missed it!
-The lion spiders also ran away. Don’t forget to post warning signs around private houses.
Some of them seem to have escaped through the confusion. Monarch City will be in chaos. Would it be better to send in more troops?
I told the soldiers.
“For those who missed it, don’t forget to place a capture quest in the Adventurer’s Guild.”
It would be nice to have jobs for adventurers.
“So, Tae-oh, what are you looking for?”
At that moment, Narmi tilted her head as she looked at me digging through the wreckage. I thought he was trying to help me. It gave me chills a little when I found out I was looking for something.
“I’m just looking for a book.”
“book? what book? I will help you.”
“Well-.”
For a moment, I was hesitant to tell the truth. However, I decided to just tell the truth because I think the first step is to find the book and get it.
“It’s a book called the Gospels.”
taken from noblemt l
Gospels.
It was a secret book that was said to have been completed by the demon king Solomon of Angmar. It must have been because of the book that the opal was already worn out and was able to survive the worn out life.
I thought Opal had hidden the book somewhere in this mansion, but no matter how much he looked through the wreckage, he couldn’t find anything. Maybe someone took it or left it in the mansion… .
When I glanced at the people walking around, wondering if other soldiers might have stolen it. I heard a conversation that bothered me quite a bit.
-Hey, did you say it was great yesterday?
– Don’t talk. Because he was a real monster. I don’t know what the hell he’s doing, but he was a very weird guy. He was a terrible guy. Because every time the blade flashed, my classmates were picked.
-I’m glad I’m off-duty. How did you defeat such a monster?
-Tao Gospel caught it with some amazing magic. It was magic that I had no idea what it was. It was great. it’s flashing
-Being a court wizard doesn’t seem like just a form. I thought it was the queen’s whim. Were you really talented?
They were muttering the fight against the opal they had in the past. It’s understandable because it’s worth living up to a lifelong snack by encountering a brave man and surviving.
Of course, they will not know that the person who stood before them yesterday was the fairy swordsman in the story. You’re probably just familiar with Subject A who escaped from Bellhawk’s laboratory.
It was Ira’s will.
-Opal, as documented, died a few years ago while sleeping in the arms of his family. There is no change in that policy.
I also agreed with that statement.
There is no need to confuse people by revealing the truth. Especially since his last words were enough to cause great chaos among people.
“… … .”
I thought of Opal’s last will.
He seemed to be trying to say this with his burned-out body.
‘They have failed.’
‘And Demon King Solomon is still-.’
yet.
I wasn’t foolish enough to not understand the latter part of the sentence.
‘The demon king Solomon is still alive.’

Could this be the last will he was about to say?
The great heroes who invaded the Demon Castle and cut Solomon’s body in pieces. Everyone knows that they killed Solomon and cut his body into pieces to stop the war.
Yes.
It was a self-evident ‘fact’.
But what if it was as false as Opal’s will?
If it’s still beyond that distant wall, the demon king of evil Solomon, crouching in his claws, is peeping for an opportunity for re-emergency again… ?
The world will become a melting pot of chaos.
The good news is that there is a high probability that Opal’s words were false or misunderstood.
The proof was none other than me.

Now I am the only survivor of the Angmar family.
Both Professor Balaan and the witch Vasago said that their master Solomon was dead.
Then why does opal have such an illusion… .
I don’t know right now, though.
Rather than interpreting the unknown, I decided to turn to the things I know now. For example, something like a newly raised level this time.
Thanks to the blood battle with Opal, Soma King’s level has risen to 3.
As evidence of that, he felt the mana overflowing his body.
I also finally broke through the 6th rank.
In this state, it would not be too much to achieve the 7th rank if you proceed with the daily quests smoothly and go through the battles.
As soon as the words came out, I floated the list of daily quests that I had obtained through the foresight ability Vasago in front of my eyes. And there, I found a letter that I was quite concerned about.
“One. Daily Goal”
“2. Today’s Weather: Continuation of Nymph-Abominable Heat”
「3. 1/4”
A continuation of the nymph-loathing heat. Somehow it was very hot.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, that’s not what’s important right now.
The place my eyes turned to is “3. The final goal achievement rate is 1/4″. I have no way of knowing when this was posted.
“what.”
As I pondered deeply, I heard a crunching, rustling, and stomping on debris from behind.
She was Elgar.
Elgar in red armor approaches me and taps me on the shoulder.
“Hey, Tae. It looks like you have something to look at, so come with me.”
