Chapter 213
King of dungeons (1)
“no.”
It’s not uncommon for Lucy’s mouth to come out of her mouth with a resolute refusal.
“I could die.”
You could tell by pretending that that clear refusal was the result of worry.
While reading a book while leaning on a tree, Lucy’s hair bounced off the floor once. He looked up at me with blank eyes and brought out a bloody story as if nothing special.
“I don’t want to kill you. High-ranking magic is not well-controlled.”
“Of course I don’t want to die either.”
It was so obvious that I didn’t even need to emphasize it.
“There is a ‘Del Heim Hourglass’ among the engineering supplies I made in advance. Once you hold it, you’ll never get hit by a single blow.”
“Your body hurts.”
“If we can achieve results within a short period of time while taking care of everything we need and taking care of everything, everyone will do it.”
Lucy understands my feeling of wanting to increase growth even faster.
The resurrection of the Holy Chang Dragon Velbrok will not happen as predicted. As in most cases.
“I don’t have time for that. From now on, keep fighting with me. At least until I learn high-level magic, I’ll have to keep hitting it. If it was the same as before, the matchmaking itself wouldn’t have been possible… At least now, I never get hit by a single blow.”
It is a magical world where experience becomes skill, but no one wants to learn it while walking a tightrope with their lives. In the first place, there is no magician who can express high-level magic dozens of times in the first place.
However, when it comes to Lucy Meryl, it is possible as long as you decide to do so.
When fighting the evil god Mebular, Lucy, who had done her best, wielded an insane amount of magical power to the point where she could cast more than 50 high-level magic circles at once while casting even the highest level magic.
When he wakes up with a sigh, he can even recover the magical power of dozens of people in one night, so there is no better matchup than this.
The opportunity to face off against one of the greatest gifted wizards in history doesn’t come to everyone.
When I got into this body not long ago, there was a greater chance that I wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single blow, so I didn’t dare even try… Now the story is completely different. My growth is already on track to some extent.
If you want to learn high-level magic with this body, which takes a year to even raise one magic response, there will be no other way than to head like crazy.
“Rather, if you put your hand in the middle, it will only hurt your body and the hourglass will not activate. So, I think I’d rather use a harpoon, so I’m going to increase my firepower.”
“It’s not difficult, but I still hate it. I am the opposite.”
It’s rare for Lucy to be so resolute in her opinion.
“I hope you don’t get hurt.”
“Lucy. Please understand my desperation. You know.”
“… ”
For a long time like that, we stood eye-to-eye. The snowball fight continued without promise, but there was no sign of backing down from each other.
After staying still for a long time, Lucy sighed deeply and pressed down on the large witch hat.
“okay.”
The place is a cliff at the northern tip of Aken Island. Tall, strangely shaped cliffs stretch out along the coast. Standing at the end of it and looking down there is a sight that gives you goosebumps. Around the time of the student council election, Hesser fell from here with a knife. Even thinking about it now, it wasn’t something I would do in my mind.
If you go in a little further from the cliff area, an open meadow spreads out. It is also the furthest away from the Sylvania site, and there are hardly any signs of popularity. It was safe to say that few students came out of the northern forest to this north.
The wind blowing along the meadow makes the collar flap.
The hem of Lucy’s skirt, who was facing me from a distance, was also blown away by the wind in the grassland. Lucy, who is looking at me while holding down her hat so that it doesn’t fly, slowly expresses her magic.
I am in perfect condition. Not only my physical condition, but also my magical power has been fully recovered, and all the spirits I can mobilize have been manifested.
A new spirit ceremony is engraved on the dagger held by the reciprocal. The ceremonial dagger, which has already been given Mug’s spirit formula, ‘Furious’, is added this time with Merylda’s spirit formula, ‘Crosswind’.
It is a dagger that I have been carrying since the beginning of my survival life. Not only my weapon proficiency, but also my sensitivity to my magic has risen to the limit. The level of the spirit ceremony of the high spirits could be accepted without difficulty.
The spirit expression ‘headwind’ that Merylda deals with is a technique that expresses a disarmament magic that weakens the enemy’s magic by crushing the magical energy imprinted on it in an instant.
Magical attacks are as fast as one. It is difficult to express the spirit ceremony at that time. Nevertheless, it can be said that the defensive performance alone is at an amazing level.
However, it is uncertain whether it will be able to block Lucy’s high-level magic. Rather, it is much more likely that Lucy’s magic will lightly pierce the spirit ceremony. Still, it’s better than being hit directly.
“… ”
In the wind blowing, Lucy raised one hand.
By casually clenching their fists, the magic that ordinary wizards can gather only by focusing their minds until they are exhausted is gathered.
From a wizard’s point of view, this is irrational enough to be sensible and efficient.
Without changing a single expression on Lucy’s face——
― Kwakwang!!!!!
As it is, a lightning strike was inserted.
The magic flow that was manifested was invisible. It was almost thanks to reflexes and Merylda’s proper response, who had been manifesting a law circle in human form.
– Koo!!!
― Whiik!!
― poop
He quickly lifted the dagger he was holding in reverse, and with the opposite arm he pressed the hand holding the dagger firmly and held out.
To improve magic efficiency, she has a human form, but she is still a high-ranking spirit. With her white hair fluttering, Merylda, who quickly injected magical energy into the spirit ceremony, was dripping with cold sweat.
Blocked out exactly. It was a surprisingly perfect response.
However, blocking is not without shock.
I couldn’t defend myself more perfectly than this, but I could feel the bones all over my body tremble as a result of the recoil.
Traces of smoke rising up and down. The fluttering collar and hair returned to their original positions due to the magic impact… His legs were trembling in shock.
“Ugh… ”
I frowned and looked at the hand holding the dagger. Mana was leaking from the overloaded spirit ceremony.
“still… It’s more than I thought, I’m just surviving… ”
Were the results of training over the years not in vain? Even the high-ranking magic that a rare genius wizard uses, it’s not enough to make him fire with a single blow.
That thought… It was still too early.
“That’s not high-level magic.”
“… ”
“To get an estimate, I used the lieutenant’s magic first.”
Lieutenant Lightning Magic ‘Lightning Spear’
A lieutenant’s magic that blows a spear of lightning and pierces the opponent. Come to think of it, it seems that it was taking that form. It was so fast I couldn’t see it.
The aftermath of the shock went beyond me, and all the grass within a few meters of a radius was charred. It is not the power of a normal lightning spear.
Even with the same lieutenant magic, the lieutenant magic used by Lucy Meirl is different. I was aware of that.
“now… Goes… ”
Lucy had an unwilling expression on her face, but she was determined to join in, so she was determined to do it right.
High-ranking lightning magic ‘nemesis’. High Explosion Magic ‘Doom’, High Freeze Magic ‘Permafrost’, High Fire Magic ‘Scorching Ball’, High Light Magic ‘Cutter’, High Dark Magic ‘Nightmare Swamp’, High Land Magic ‘Ant Hell’, High Wind Magic ‘Eye of the Typhoon’
These are magics that are said to have reached a level worthy of respect by all as a wizard if they master even one.
If you don’t receive it yourself… you can’t easily embody the flow or principle of that magic.
I smirked. Even if it was reckless, there was no surer way than this.
Eventually, he slowly closed his eyes and opened them, and the smile was gone.
The hand that was holding the dagger gained strength with a popping sound.
*― Everyone worked hard during the preparation period for the festival. Starting tomorrow, the Krestol Grand Festival will finally begin.
― Let’s work closely with the academics to finish this ceremonial well so that no unpleasant incidents occur during the festival period.
The Obell Hall, which boasts an antique appearance right next to the Student Square, is a relatively recent building.
As it is a new building that was built to give way to a new space for the activities of the student council, where the authority and responsibility are increasing… The interior was mostly filled with practical spaces.
Among them, in the conference room where all the student members were gathered, President Tanya told the story to the student members with amplification magic.
Everyone worked hard to prepare for the festival all last month, so let’s enjoy the Krestol Grand Festival, but let’s do our part as student members. That’s pretty much what it was.
Student members gathered around Tanya, president of the student council, clapped and cheered. The preparation period for the hellish festival has finally come to an end, so as long as you manage this great festival that continues throughout this week, it is a return to your daily life.
Time goes by really fast.
Ziggs, who was standing with his arms crossed against the wall at the back of the conference room, uttered those words to himself.
Indeed, this month of the festival preparation period has been so busy that I can’t even breathe.
The class curriculum had to follow the curriculum, review the festival progress plan of each club department, provide support, close conflicts, and check the external visit schedule.
However, since he shouldn’t neglect Elka’s nursing care, Ziggs was so busy that he wondered if he had two bodies. I just feel grateful to Elka, who follows me whenever there is a student council schedule.
“Ziggs-senpai. You worked hard during the preparation period.”
The student council president, Tanya, came down from the podium to receive the welcome from the students, and talked while plucking the hem of an old-fashioned skirt.
While you and I were all fighting and exchanging wills, Tanya was on the way to Trix Hall with Anise for the next schedule.
“no. The president suffered the most. And the things we need to deal with from now on are the most important things.”
“Huh… Also… In any case, the senior activists shouldn’t relax either. His Majesty, Emperor Chloel, will personally come… ”
“Have you finished reviewing your visit schedule?”
“yes… After two days, you will come in in the morning, and after lunch, visit the school, participate in events, give speeches, and watch the integrated competition in person. Pelbrain senior will review the luncheon menu, and Klenic senior and Anise senior will take charge of the inspection route.”
“Then, I think I can review the schedule of the unified competition one more time.”
“Yes. Please review the participant schedule once again and announce all the details to be announced so that the process can proceed without any setbacks.”
“All right. President Tanya.”
Ziggs nodded his head with his arms crossed, and then spoke with a smirk.
“Anyway, you look good these days. President Tanya. I think the division of work has been very effective.”
“Yeah, right, what… Obviously, the preparation period for the festival itself had a lot more work, but it was manageable because it was a little more organized. It is also difficult to deal with the organization.”
“Isn’t that how everyone learns? However, it’s a bit disappointing that I couldn’t share my recent status with other people.”
“Well, everyone is busy together. The festival period is a time when the whole school is busy. Ed’s brother is fine, right? This time, you’re having a match with Dyke-senpai.”
“I will check it while reviewing the conference schedule. Last but not least, you should check the schedule.”
After answering that, Ziggs fell into deep thought.
Looking back, everyone around Ziggs seemed crazy. Each had a different reason, though.
Tanya, you are going to be busy all the time.
Taylor feels like she has fallen into the samādhi of meditation. His companion, Isla, I don’t know why, but all this month, he’s been locked in the library, searching through the catalogs as if trying to find something. It looked like he was trying to figure out something.
As Elka, the librarian, the librarian, told me, I seem to be borrowing all the books about the historical figure, the great sage Sylvania.
Ziggs felt like he had a vague idea of what Ayla was thinking, but he didn’t dare say it.
Yenica Palerover appeared to have been busy studying how to be a new aristocrat by ascending to the baron’s position. Sometimes I see it from afar while walking down the street, and when I try to pose in the air, or when I’m alone, I spit out words that seem dignified… It wasn’t easy for him to rub his face because he was ashamed of himself.
In that state, if he pretended to know him, he would instantly die of shame, so whenever that happened, Ziggs would pass by without talking to him as much as possible.
Lucy Meryl has reached the point where she is found more in Ed’s camp than in the bachelor’s, so it’s hard to even hear her current situation. I’ve heard that lately, for a Lucy, she’s often looked exhausted… As for the amount of magical power, she would be sad if she was the second.
If you want to dig deeper, you can, but it’s an invasion of privacy. As a senior member of the student council, it is not good to delve into the personal aspects of students.
It is Lortel who often illuminates his face. As it is a festival period when consumption is growing for a long time, it seems that the Elte Company has increased its logistics manpower to row the oars. Thanks to that, there were a lot of small negotiations with the student council, so I often came to the Obell Hall… Most of them maintained a favorable attitude.
Other than that, the other characters were the same as usual, but the appearance of Clevius was unusual.
He usually had rotten, dynamic eyes, and had a gloomy appearance with ominous sounds and murmurs… Recently, Clevius’ appearance had become more gloomy than expected.
When Ziggs asked Ziggs for a day, Clevius shook his head and lamented the use of family. Clevius, like Clevius, has a lot to worry about. In fact, it was normal.
Even though Ziggs was busy moving around during the festival preparation period, he was listening to the trends of his acquaintances.
“Then, President Tanya. Regarding the schedule of His Majesty Chloel’s visit, we will hear from the Academic Headquarters’ plans, and we will establish and report specific routes so that we can move accordingly. Don’t go into a nook, because you have to get payment right away when you’re done. It’s hard to find, isn’t it?”
“I’m sorry, but I have graduated from the habit of hiding in dark and damp places, Jigs-senpai. What are you looking at me for?”
“Didn’t you get caught yesterday while hiding under the cabinet for storing dishes in the bath room? Student members keep looking at me with vague eyes, so if you are going to hide, hide in a place where people can hide.”
“… Did Anise-senpai tell you?”
“Isn’t Senir, who is in charge of managing the hot water supplies, surprised when he opened the closet door? It’s just the scratch on her ankle and the bandage wrapped around it.”
“… I must apologize to Senir Action Committee… ”
Tanya crouched, squinting and averting her gaze. Still, it is fortunate that he behaved like an old-fashioned nobleman on the podium.
“Then prepare well for the opening ceremony schedule tomorrow. I… I’m going to finish the preparations for the competition.”
Ziggs, who swung the wall he was leaning against with his shoulder blade and got himself up, took off his clothes and spoke.
“The contestants should also review it again.”
“Yes, thank you, and please upload the report and documents through Anise-senpai.”
Ziggs smiled and nodded his head before leaving the large conference room.
*“If you go to the northern cliff, you will be there. After I get home, I stay there every day and come back late at night.”
When Ziggs went to camp to find Ed, he was absent.
Yenika, who was sitting by the bonfire, only greeted Ziggs instead.
After leaving a thank-you note to Yenica for showing Ed’s location with a worried look on his face, he proceeded straight across the northern forest to the cliff.
Although it is a forest that occupies most of the northern part of Aken Island, the geography caught my eye to some extent even for Ziggs, who runs jogging every day. Yes, it was less than half, and the further north we went, the more unfamiliar geography was.
Anyway, from here on, it’s the realm of Ed Roth-Taylor, who sits and lives in this forest. The deeper and deeper you go, the fewer people you have fully geography.
However, one thing is certain, if you just keep going north, you will come to a cliff area. In fact, even if you only know one thing, you won’t get lost much.
The quiet scenery of the forest makes it easy to organize your thoughts.
There are many people who attend the Dalian, but in the end, the place that attracts people’s attention is the integrated competition where the seniors of each grade participate.
It was around the time when the northern end of Aken Island slowly came out.
As soon as the forest ended and he saw the view of the open meadow, Ziggs took his breath away.
The aftermath of intense magical power can be felt even here. The amount of magical power that is firmly established in this vast meadow… It’s not at a level that a normal wizard can achieve.
Ziggs, who went out to the grassland with a frown on his face, doubted his eyes.
“her… .100 million… .”
A rock towering straight up on one side of the grassland.
With his back there, Ed Rothtailer sat, dripping blood.
The surroundings were in a mess with the aftermath of all kinds of magic. The grassy meadow had been dug up in several places, and there were traces of a tree being uprooted in the end.
“Eh, Ed-senpai… ”
“What… Is it Jigs… ”
Ed rolled his eyes as soon as he heard the voice.
It wasn’t that he collapsed unconscious, or that he was sleeping. He was sitting still and resting.
“this… What is all this… ”
“Do some training… did… ”
Ed, who was trying to get up slowly, his clothes were torn everywhere.
Ed’s mourning, who barely got up, was horrendous, but the reason Ziggs swallowed his breath was different.
The responsiveness of the magic power that was on Ed’s body, and the amount itself, were completely different from before.
Does it feel like the poisonous poison that is young in the eyes has become more intense than it used to be?
Ziggs knows what it feels like.
Watch out for wolves with a lot of scars.
It was a story that was considered a proverb in the northern steppes.
The yellow, who survived several fatal wounds, is several times more ferocious and smarter than humans.
The more people who endured extreme moments over and over, the sharper their lives will be.
Ed Roth-Taylor leaned his back against a huge boulder, pushed his legs up, and slowly raised his body. His magical power was already well beyond the student’s level.
A battle with Lucy Meryl, who can’t stand even a single match.
Somehow, by reinforcing and retraining, he succeeded in equipping himself with the specifications that could withstand even that attack. Of course, it was very difficult to withstand both sums.
In that state, the process of repeatedly fighting with Lucy several times a day to raise the magical sensitivity is enough to bring down even the old wolves, who live and die countless times. This was close to self-abuse.
As a result, although Ed Roth Taylor is close to dying… He succeeded in acquiring enough magical power to use even high-ranking magic.
Even Ziggs, who doesn’t neglect training every day, had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.
“Ed… Seniors… ”
“okay… It was a festival period, maybe… ”
Ed Roth-Taylor, groping his face, wiping the blood from the stinging temple, barely managed to get himself to rest.
“Slowly… wash… To attend the opening ceremony… I have to go… ”
If anyone continues to grow, he or she will run into a wall and be frustrated.
Without innate senses and natural abilities, you have no choice but to bang your head until the wall breaks.
It was the fate of those born with dunjae.
