Chapter 437

The magic was activated very quickly and accurately.

The mana scattered like thin ice seemed to imprison them in a pillar of ice, but it quickly crumbled, leaving only icy shackles.

All of the 20 strongmen who suddenly had heavy weights attached to their limbs and body staggered greatly. However, the ice created by Seneran’s magic does not end there, but extends like tree branches and sticks to the ground, connecting the men like a spider’s web and solidifying their unity.

The sight of the broken and scattered ice shards defying gravity was even artistic. And watching it from the sidelines, I had no choice but to revise my evaluation of Seneran upwards.

It was the first time I felt that it was difficult to break the most classic magic, not the magic that Volta Bay’s Unlucky Bard showed off at the Armory Window or the Imperial Academy.

“It’s a misconception that people often make. Since they’re wizards who only play desks in the library, they’ll be able to do it easily.”

Seneran, who brushed off the frost on his fingertips while casting magic, looks at the men in astonishment and says,

I don’t know if it was actually magic that wasn’t a big deal to her, or if she was acting to make it look like that, but it was a reaction as if she had done something really insignificant, so despite her dwarf and haggard appearance, she was intimidating enough.

“I think I need to change that perception a bit through you guys.”

I don’t know about anything else, but the vicious smile on her lips after she finished speaking was coming from her heart.

◈

I wondered if I would see blood, but Seneran didn’t forget the reason why I didn’t bother.

She solved the problem by forcibly carving a magic seal.

There was considerable malice in the process, and the condition was very vague that he would never get involved with her again, and as soon as the ice melted, he would leave this place and never approach her again, and finally, he would not disclose this matter anywhere. .

Since she had mentioned the dangers of vague conditions when signing a contract with Merdella, I even thought that she might not actually have any intention of keeping them alive for long. It’s because it hasn’t been decided where to end with ‘entangled’.

“Usually it’s based on the consciousness of the contracting party. For example... When I assume that they distribute the things I made, should I say that I am at a crossroads between life and death depending on whether or not I know that I made them?”

“What happens when you find out after distribution?”

“I die.”

“As expected, you will need to quickly learn magic.”

“You’ll learn quickly though. Humans take a long time to learn magic because talent is talent, but in most cases, the total amount of mana is utterly insufficient. You know what I mean?”

“Isn’t that talent the problem? When I see Margrave Levien doing nothing and the magic Seneran just showed me, my confidence disappears.”

“Well? I’m a person who’s been listening to people say they’re great, so I can’t answer for sure, but... At least from what I’ve seen, you don’t have talent. Your understanding is extraordinary.”

is it? Looking at Asilie with a tilt of her head, she nodded her head in an unexpectedly strong sense of sympathy.

It seems that the old man passive, which is the perk of the reincarnated person, is acting and making a big mistake... well, it will work out somehow.

Halfway resigned, we followed her, and two rugged-looking men camped out in front of the building moved their eyes to us and nodded lightly. I couldn’t tell if they were strong, but at least one thing seemed clear.

From the outside, it was close to a heap of stones that had already collapsed and collapsed, but when we passed the men and went inside, we were greeted by incomparably neat stairs and stone walls.

At the end of the stairway, about five or six people, lit up with magic, were diligently investigating something.

The scene itself was nothing special, but because of that, the demon cleric who was talking to Master with his horns exposed was struck even more because of it. Master, who caught our gaze, cut off the conversation and approached us, and he too followed after Master.

“You came earlier than expected. Has Levien been cleaned up already?”

“It’s not completely over, but the Silver Eagle Brigade is competent, so I think it will be sorted out soon. Now I’m back because I don’t think there’s anything I can do.”

No questions followed. He seemed to think he had already heard all the necessary information when he came with Seneran. It seems that the two of them are business partners who fit well together more than I thought.

Instead, Master pointed to the demonic priest who approached and tried to give a full statement, but the priest politely refused Master’s consideration and then greeted me with courtesy and opened his mouth first.

“Nice to meet you, Eldmia. I am Mender, a faithful servant of the demon Epaga. The saintess asked me to send her regards.”

The greeting that came out of her mouth was very unexpected, so I couldn’t think of our saintess until I thought of the self-destructing saintess and the prospective saintess of the Holy Light Cross.

Is it a coincidence? Just in case, Seneran turned around and answered my silent question with a light nod, as if he had read my thoughts.

“Since we met last time, I deliberately inquired about it because I thought it might be a little more friendly. Fortunately, it turned out okay.”

hmm. He didn’t know anything else, but he was certain he wasn’t reading my thoughts. In the end, I had to look at the priest who introduced himself as Mender with a puzzled look again, and he continued with a slightly more polite bow.

“I’m sorry to say this as soon as I saw you... but if you don’t mind, can I take the saintess here?”

No, ask me what you’ve been doing so far.
