CH 172

: Destroy (1)

Lennon hurriedly entered Count Simon's laboratory.

At Lennon's sudden appearance, the research wizards all looked at him.

"Lennon? What's happen?

"Oh, is your father there?"

"The Count? Well, I don't know. Mion-sama may be aware of it, so please go upstairs."

Mion was a young wizard trusted by Count Simon.

Lennon went straight upstairs, and just at that moment, Mion opened the door and came out into the hallway.

"Mi, Mion-sama!"

"Lennon?"

He tilted his head as he saw Lennon approaching, sweating profusely.

"Why do you look so urgent? What's up?

"Father, are you there?"

"The Count will be in his lab. It's on the 5th floor. But what is it that you are in such a hurry?"

"I think something big has happened. There is no one I can think of other than my father."

What's the big deal with a 9-year-old kid?

I wanted to ask in detail, but it seemed so rushed that I couldn't hold on to it.

"Come on."

Thank you.

Lennon rushes up to the 5th floor.

Mion later decided to ask Count Simon and went back to the lab.

"Look at my mind. I was going to go to the first floor."

Then I went out again and went down the stairs.

* * *

Lennon opened the door to the Count's private laboratory without even knocking.

Count Simon was conducting a reagent study with several flasks listed, and he frowned at the sudden appearance of Lennon.

"What is this?"

He was a little annoyed at the second son's rude behavior. On the one hand, I wondered that my son, who was afraid of him, came to him without fear.

Unsurprisingly, Lennon opened his mouth full of sweat.

father. Teacher I think Mr. Jamie is in danger."

what?

"This, this, suddenly shone. It was given to me by the teacher, and suddenly it lit up."

Lennon took out his necklace and showed it to the Count.

But it was difficult to understand his son's words that came out of nowhere.

He asked as he handed the necklace.

So Jamie gave me this necklace, right?"

Yeah. He gave it to me as a commemoration of becoming a disciple."

"But then this necklace suddenly started to shine."

Yeah.

"You came to me because you saw the necklace shining and thought Jamie was in danger?"

" Yes.

"Why did you think so? It might not be dangerous."

that's ."

Lennon paused to explain.

It was because it might not be as dangerous as the Count said. Before that, the very idea that it would be dangerous was just a feeling.

What made him run so hard to his father, Count Simon's laboratory?

To be honest, the fact that Jamie is in danger makes more sense.

But, what is this unknown anxiety, an anxiety that cannot be explained by reason?

"Neither do I. It may not be dangerous, but somehow, somehow, I think you are in danger. Help, Dad!"

Count Simon's eyes trembled slightly at the word 'Dad'.

I didn't know that the son, who always treated him with difficulty, would use the expression 'father'.

However, Count Simon had a reputation for being a cold-hearted man in the magic world.

Although slightly embarrassed, he quickly regained his pace and disciplined his son.

"Now you are doing what you shouldn't be doing as a wizard."

" ."

"A wizard must always be sober, and he must judge and analyze the situation only with reason. how are you now I'm just trying to understand the situation with emotions."

father ."

Lennon's face contorted with melancholy.

Now was not the time to listen to the sermon. It was time to find Jamie right away and make sure he was in danger.

But Count Simon shook his head.

"Think rationally. Don't get caught up in your emotions, keep your mind straight. It means thinking with a clear mind what the situation is now."

Yes?

"It means to figure out whether the subject is really dangerous, and if so, why it is dangerous, what kind of situation it is, and how to respond, all at once. That is the mindset of a wizard to stand on the front line."

Lennon understood.

My father wasn't in denial of his thoughts.

It taught me how to think and observe more rationally, and how to deal with it.

It was a harsh request for a nine-year-old boy, but Lennon was no ordinary nine-year-old.

He was a wizard, the son of Count Simon.

"This necklace was given to me by Jamie and a classmate named Anne Meyer. At first, I thought it was given as a commemoration of becoming a priest, but suddenly the necklace started to sparkle. At that time, I wondered if the teacher suddenly gave me a shiny necklace as a souvenir."

"So, you thought you might be in danger?"

"I don't know Mr. Jamie very well yet, but from what I've experienced so far, you're the meticulous type. No matter what you do, you're not the type to pass it on. This necklace could not have had the same meaningless shimmering effect."

"Is it possible that I reacted to you?"

do not have. I was doing nothing."

Count Simon looked carefully at the necklace.

There were no special devices.

It's hard to believe Lennon's words completely, but he, too, evaluated the character of Jamie, not much different from his son's.

He would not put such meaningless sparkles on a necklace even as a joke.

"Where do you think it will be?"

" If there is, it would be an academy."

The reason is?

"Because you haven't left work yet."

"You stay here."

"I am also !"

Lennon stretched out his arms towards the Count, but the Count had already been engulfed in flames and disappeared.

" Please, Dad."

* * *

Javelin saw Siegfried slowly walking out of the black sphere.

Fragments of the spheres attached to his long hair and robes fell apart.

A tremendous sense of pressure engulfed my whole body.

It felt as if the whole of this large space was only for Siegfried.

'Siegfried of Space. A powerful battle mage.'

As he was his direct superior, he knew the man named Siegfried well.

He doesn't do anything special in the magic world, but he has always accomplished great things when he goes out.

Especially on the battlefield, he was a terrible 'slayer'.

To some extent, the fact that Siegfried had appeared from an enemy country was enough to cause the entire army to retreat.

In addition, there were rumors that he was the only wizard capable of confronting the Sword Master, so there was no doubt about his fighting power.

"Whoa."

Siegfried let out a small sigh and looked at the fallen Kennyak in the distance.

He was engulfed in the explosion and covered in black smoke.

The skin burned black. I didn't even feel a life reaction. All the mana that existed in the core was being scattered in the air.

will be dead

"To save me ."

It was a sad feeling.

The fact that I was standing like this at the expense of others weighed on my shoulders. I didn't even talk to Kennyak a few times, so I didn't know what kind of person he was.

However, in the sealed state, the entire situation outside could be checked.

What he had been thinking up until now, and what he was going to do now, he clearly confirmed with his own two eyes.

Although not human, the man who was more human than anyone else was Kennyak.

"Because of you, him ."

The space shakes again.

Siegfried's long hair and robes fluttered terribly.

"I was in a lot of trouble before."

" ."

Javelin couldn't say anything.

It wasn't choking, but it was choking.

He signed a contract with the Demon King and was granted the title of a knight. Even if it was not a noble, the power of a demon knight was just below the master class.

To be honest, I had the confidence to face even an Archmage at a 7th class level.

' It's a mistake.'

I had to prepare a sealing technique that I could never escape.

The space around Siegfried is violently distorted.

"Did I? If you come out, I will kill you."

"Shit!"

Fighting is impossible.

First, avoid yourself.

Javelin decided to do so and flew back to leave.

"Where are you going?"

At that moment, Siegfried was standing right next to him.

Javelin's eyes grew as big as they were about to be plucked out.

"But what? I can't go."

bang!!

space exploded.

He groaned, and blood flowed back out of his mouth.

It felt like my intestines were being shaken and torn to pieces.

"Can you send me?"

The javelin felt that the space was getting longer.

'It's not a feeling.'

Siegfried, who was right in front of him, could be seen in the distance.

The distance was extended with space magic.

Javelin forced her internal organs to stick together, and then flew back again.

I don't know why they increased the space and made it farther away, but this is a great opportunity.

Just open the door connected to the demon realm like this.

"Open ."

Sesame!

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Siegfried appeared and slapped her face with the compressed space.

Hagwan and the right clown were smashed.

I couldn't calm myself down. The field of vision was divided into several layers.

"You can't die comfortably."

A hoarse voice warns.

"Writhing in pain, very slowly, very slowly ."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

The limbs were spread thinly.

Bones, muscles, nerves, qi and blood were all flattened.

The pain was indescribable.

"I will kill you."

Javelin looked.

The eerie eyes that looked down from the blonde.

Lips curled upwards looking down again.

'Ah, the devil.'

Siegfried was a demon.

* * *

Jamie was moving quickly towards the javelin energy.

The subspace they isolated was completely abolished.

No one will know what happened there.

'We need to find him quickly before he does anything.'

I could feel the magic, but it was so blurry that I couldn't fully grasp the direction.

Come to think of it, he was pretty annoying.

First impression was friendly. He had a smile that he didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew how troublesome it was to step forward and take care of the work.

Just seeing how hard I work for that kind of thing, I couldn't deny that I was kind.

There were quite a few. Someone else's business might just pass, but it didn't. I had a job, but I didn't have to do my best.

But Javelin did her best.

He was also good to the children. Many students trusted him. He always reciprocated his trust.

'All of that fake.'

It was all smoke.

So how annoying is he?

If I had an easy-going personality, I wouldn't have suffered so much.

He had a personality that made people around him very annoyed.

Above all, it caused inconvenience to those around them. He is a very annoying bastard who has caused trouble to children, teachers, and everyone.

So I couldn't forgive any more.

'Because I became a demon How much can you live with just your head?'

good.

We will first remove his limbs, then separate the upper and lower body.

Next, the organs will be removed one by one, and they will inflict terrible pain. The cost of ruining someone else's life is never small.

Jamie also knew better than anyone else because she had experienced the life of others being crushed by Cho Jin.

'not far.'

Guess it was the right direction, the Javelin was getting closer and closer.

Jamie got down to the façade of a building and then looked around again. It was just to pinpoint which one it was.

That was then.

A huge presence was approaching with great speed.

Turning around there, a familiar man came down on the same roof.

"The Count?"

"I had a hard time finding it."

It was Count Simon.

How did he come to know where he was?

It was a place quite far from his laboratory, and he had minimized his presence in order not to be detected by the javelins.

"It's the face of how you got here."

Yeah. How did you find it? And I wonder why you came."

"It was thanks to this that I was able to find it."

He took out the necklace the Count had given to Lennon.

I don't know why the Count has it, so I'm going to ask, but he explained it first.

"Lennon came to me with this. The necklace used to sparkle, but now it doesn't.

"Is it shiny?"

okay. You must have thought that Lennon was in danger from you."

'I think the signal went out when I was fighting the Serpent.'

Since magic is equivalent exchange, there was no choice but to warn of danger on the side of the disciples' necklaces.

Even so, the number was raised quite high, so it wouldn't ring in any danger, but the self-destruct attack that Serpent was prepared for was quite dangerous, so it seems that it rang at that time.

"By the way, Jamie Wellton Could it be that you broke through the wall?"

"It happened."

"Huh. haha!

Count Simon let out an unbelievable laugh.

I did just that.

At the age of 8, he had never even heard of being an archmage. But this was a stark reality, and it wasn't an issue right now.

"Now is not the time. Demons intervened in this case."

"A demon?"

"We'll talk about the details later, and let's move on. I don't know what he's going to do.

The Count was bewildered by the sudden mention of the demons, but he knew that Jamie wasn't the kind of person to joke about such a thing.

"I will take the lead."

It was the moment when Jamie nodded and flew towards the javelin.

Zeng-!!

A huge shock wave was felt, and an ominous black pillar of light rose toward the sky.

The two arch wizards teleported in the direction where the black pillar of light rose without even having time to appreciate it.

And that's what I saw there.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

It was a giant with a vicious appearance with four arms that could easily climb over 10 meters.

"Confucius and the eight elders."

Siegfried was holding the space down and restraining its movement.

He said.

" He seems to be an aristocrat of the Demon Realm."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

The ferocious Magi began to run like crazy.
