Judgment Day(2)
Sweet time passed quickly.
Chris, once again under Gearic’s guidance, spent most of the day at the training grounds.
Although I couldn’t say my progress was fast because I lacked talent, I learned something new every day.
Fidelity and comfort like never before.
He has a trustworthy teacher, so he no longer needs to worry as if he were wandering in the desert.
With each passing day with Gearrick, it felt like his own blade was getting closer and closer to the prime minister.
Occasionally others tried to interfere with his happiness, but it was a futile attempt.

Most of the nobles who visited the estate to make friends with Chris were kicked out by Baren.
If it was not resolved in his line, Illesis stepped forward.
Chris tried to share Gearick’s technique with her, but things weren’t going so easily.
His mentor, Gearic, unexpectedly readily agreed to it, but there was a calculation behind his actions.
Embarrassed by his suspiciously cool attitude, he was able to figure out the reason belatedly.
Illesis, who had heard about Gearic’s technique, explained it with a puzzled expression.
“Um, thank you for letting me know, but I don’t think this will be of much use to wizards.”
Although the tone is full of consideration, the evaluation itself is unmatched.
Chris shakes his head as if he doesn’t quite understand.
It was really unexpected for him, who had expected Illesis to be happy.
“Is it useless for wizards? Magicians are more likely to receive magic feet, right?”
Gearic’s secret technique, Resonant Strike, amplifies the magic within the body, making it dozens of times more effective.
Although the level of difficulty was excruciating to match the excellent effect, Illesis, a genius recognized by the demon king, thought it would be able to handle it.
As if to prove his words, Illesis immediately casts Resonance Strike.

Millet-sized magic formed on her fingers, and it was amplified dozens of times with a buzzing sound.
Upon witnessing this, Chris’s pupils visibly dilated.
However, she was not very proud.
“This must be the blow of resonance you are talking about. After hearing about the roar of the shield the other day, I did my own research.”
“uh… hmm… that, so?”
She has barely caught on for the past week, but she is not even a warrior and is showing off her full skills.
When Chris, who had barely calmed down his rising inferiority complex, asked awkwardly, an incomplete explanation continued.
A pleasant voice and a soft tone. Right now, Sade is at a level where she can run as an instructor at the Royal Academy. Illesis’ skillful explanation makes Doonjae Chris nod his head.
“Didn’t it feel a bit strange when you learned how to roar the shield? Mana isn’t like sound waves, but it’s resonance and amplification. That’s not usually the case.”
“is it? Now that I look at it, it might seem a bit odd.”
After the unsatisfactory response, Illesis’ explanation becomes a little kinder.
She had been patient enough since she had taught Chris during the days of King Seidran.
Taking into account his level and not having expectations in the first place is the key to being a great tutor.
“okay. If you use things like Shield Roar or Resonating Strike, you’ll get great efficiency, right? That’s because you unconsciously endowed magic with the nature of waves.”
Illesis raises both hands to use Resonance Strike with her right hand, and fires magic flames with her left hand.
As he witnessed the stark difference, Chris slowly began to understand.
“Resonance and amplification are one of the main characteristics of a wave. You and Gearrick-sama created such an effect by modulating mana similar to a wave. But it’s not all that good.”
Illesis, who had raised both hands, continued to explain and caused an accident.
The magical flame that had risen in his left hand danced and changed.
The magic on her left hand can change the shape of a flame, or even become ice or electric shock.
However, the mana of his right hand just spread out gently.
“It is easy to amplify magic that has the nature of a wave, but it becomes that much simpler. Even if I use Resonant Strike to amplify my mana, the only thing I can do with it is to explode a shock wave or shoot it forward.”
“ah… Has it become easier to use instead of easier to amplify?”
“yes. You can think of it as being specialized for warriors like you to use. It doesn’t have much effect on people who compete with various spells and attack methods like wizards. Although it can be used as a trump card in case of emergency.”
Come to think of it, techniques such as Resonating Strike and Shield Roar had a subtle sense of simplicity.
If magic could be amplified dozens of times, it could be used for purposes such as movement or exploration, but Gearick was just using it for attacks.
Skilled players like Hellyuon noticed the monotonous attack method and easily destroyed it.
Chris, who understood his teacher’s will thanks to Illesis’ lecture, smirked.
“Somehow, he allowed the leakage of technology so easily… You didn’t even have to learn it in the first place, no, you learned it before I even taught you.”
“I was lucky.”
Illesis, who was looking at Chris, responded humbly, and a deep sigh leaked out.
It’s something I’ve thought about before, but when it comes to her level, humility is detestable.
Too good is not very good looking.
Chris seemed to be able to understand just a little bit of the dropouts who tried to lynch her at the academy.
Chris bit his tongue hard to get rid of useless thoughts and looked out the window.
At the entrance of the lord’s castle, Baren and the guards were struggling to prevent uninvited guests.
No matter how good the king of singers presented his rumors, the vain attempts of nobles in each country seldom ceased.
Afraid of being discovered by uninvited guests, Chris tried to hide himself when he saw a familiar-looking magician’s robe in the distance.
‘Are you Luana? Why is it in the lord castle… … .’
Chris, who was keeping an eye on Luana, whom he had met for the first time in a while, clicked his tongue and put his head in.
Illesis asked with curious eyes at his strange behavior.
“Why is that woman?”
“I just got stabbed.”
Chris looked down toward the basement of the lord’s castle, and she nodded.
Luana is the one who got Chris out of the dungeon.
Even the players of the hostile country will not be happy to see the sight of the basement.
Chris, who was thinking hard about an excuse, received a visit from Baren the very next moment.
Luana is known as a personal acquaintance of the lord, so she is treated very differently from uninvited guests outside. First of all, without asking or questioning, he was brought into the parlor and reported to Chris.
“Lord, Luana from the player guild… … .”
“saw. What should I do at a time like this?”
“Say that they have already been secretly transported. A lot of people have seen players being taken captive, so we can’t completely take them off.”
Varen, who had the same concerns as Chris, was quick to advise.
The three people in the office quickly go down the stairs and greet Luana in the drawing room.
She greeted politely as usual and cautiously brought up the topic.
“I… Chris. It’s a little rude to say this out of the blue, but I heard that some players were captured a while ago.”
“Ah, Breton’s players have sneaked into our territory with the Prime Minister’s secret orders. They were already transported to the capital in the middle of the night, so they should be being interrogated by now.”
Chris, a skilled swindler, responded calmly without changing a single color on his face.
Luana, who is a good person, sighs lightly as if worried about their situation.
Chris added an additional explanation to placate her.
“Because of the prime minister’s initiative, Breton’s players became followers of the evil god. I don’t know what will happen if left alone.”
“You’re already doing that. Also, that person is too radical. I’ve used it to incite players in the past, but I’m going too far this time.”
When Luana showed dislike for the Prime Minister, the atmosphere in the room improved a little.
Slandering the same object is a great help in closing the distance between each other.
Chris carefully chose his words to inquire about the current status of the guild she led.
But before he could speak, a strange force pressed his shoulder.
“Ugh?”
“evil!”
It seemed that the unexpected blow had not only landed on Chris.
Luana, who was sitting across from him, also screamed with a painful expression.
However, Baren and Illesis didn’t feel anything, just showing a puzzled expression.
It was a sensation he felt for the first time in his life, but Chris was able to sense it instinctively.
A holy light that weighs down your head and shoulders. And the heavy divine power felt there.
This must be the divine punishment that has only been heard in words.
He hurriedly exercised the ability of the Epic class to shake off the divine punishment.
As long as he has the god-hater class, divine punishment can’t harm him.
‘Rejection of divinity.’
As Chris concentrated and resisted, the divine punishment that weighed down him gradually weakened.
Only then did Illesis, realizing the type of attack, murmur nervously.
“Suddenly, it’s a divine punishment. Could it be that it is the work of the evil god?”
“No, if it was the evil god, Luana-sama wouldn’t have been attacked either!”
Chris, who was completely free of the divine punishment, denied Illesis’ guess.
Luana, who was moaning across from him, was in a state of fainting without being able to overcome the divine punishment.
Chris, noticing her condition, hurriedly reached out.
“Sacred seal!”
Chains rose from the ground and clung to Luana’s body.
The chain that denied the divine power protected her according to the owner’s will.
Only then did Luana, who regained her senses, stand up clutching her throbbing head.
“Chris. what is this… … .”
“It’s a divine punishment. Varen, call Tyrone right now.”
As soon as Chris finished speaking, Tyrone ran into the drawing room.
Origin Epic, he who endured divine punishment by transforming the copying shadow into a shield of faith shouted to Chris.
“Hey, what is this? Did you put a pad lip on your chest?”
“No, I thought you were.”
Chris responded with a laugh and threw a chain at Tyrone.
Thanks to this, Tyrone, who was freed from the divine punishment, gasped for breath while suppressing the sound of suffering.
“OMG! i thought i was dying Even if you use the shield of faith, you can’t completely defend it. Just how powerful a divine punishment is that?”
“What is the limit of counterfeiting?”
Chris, who responded cynically, agreed with Tyrone, ignoring Tyrone’s rampage.
I don’t know the details, but the divine punishment just before was very powerful.
Chris, who possesses the god-hater class, unconsciously bounces off quite a bit of divine power.
Of the five people in the drawing room, only Luana, Chris, and Tyrone received divine punishment.
Illesis and Varen were not hurt.
Chris, who deduced the culprit as the subject of divine punishment, hurriedly rose from his seat.
“Let’s go to the guild right now! Lady Luana, the guild members might be in danger.”
“Ah, I see.”
All of the people who were punished were players.
The servants outside the drawing room seemed to be unaware of the fact that the punishment had been handed down, and seemed very calm.
So far, Chris’ explanation is correct.
If you head to Luana’s guild with other players, you will be able to verify the hypothesis.
The party hurriedly went down to the city and found the guild building, and found players lying here and there.
They all passed out with painful expressions as if they had been punished.
Slowly, Tyrone, who noticed who was behind the new punishment, exchanged glances with Chris.
“Hey, this can’t be… … .”
“For some reason, the religious unions have been a bit quiet lately.”
Chris, who uttered a lamentation, affirmed Tyrone’s question.
Luana, who was taking care of the fallen guild members, looked at him with trembling eyes.
