Chapter 1028

Episode 1028. How does it feel to be escorted by the Templars?

At the Knight Commander’s scolding, Baron Todd Freeman Kelly Len Duke Williams’ face flushed red.

Throwing away mana just because you lost to a barbarian?

Is that a common sense thing to say?

He felt sorry for losing his mana, but hearing such a sound made him feel like he was going crazy and jumped up and down.

Baron Duke Williams confessed despite his shame.

“Captain. We didn’t throw away mana. Elio forcibly infused us with aura... mana was broken.”

“Forcibly injected with aura? I’ve never heard anything like that in my life.”

The knight commander looked at Duke Williams, Baron, with bewildered eyes.

“It is true. When he grabbed my head, I felt mana and other auras. As it traveled down my back and down to my lower belly, the mana was scattered.”

Baron Todd Freeman assisted.

“I did too. Right after the mana was dissipated, he called us ‘reiki practitioners’. He also said that he would have to train his spirit in the future.”

“So Elio forcibly infused his spirit energy and the ‘mana users’ turned into ‘reiki practitioners’?”

“That’s right.”

The three barons nodded.

Then, Viscount Colacio Keeper, the commander of the knights, shook his head excitedly.

“It sounds as absurd as saying that a savage used magic.”

Of course, that’s not all that’s impossible.

For example, among the early mana users, there were people who studied the fusion of mana and aura.

It is because of human desire to become stronger.

However, their attempt ended with only one attempt.

As soon as they practice aura, mana leaves them.

After that, mana and aura were considered to be incompatible, and no one tried to master them all.

The knight commander looked at the three barons with strange eyes.

In the past experiment, it was a case of self-training.

There has never been a savage in history who forcibly breathed energy into a mana user like Elio.

‘Because there wasn’t such a crazy savage.’

If you’re a mana user, even if you can’t, you’re a knight.

Could there be a savage who dared to inject aura into a knight’s body?

But that nightmare happened in real life.

Even against the Griffin Knights.

Even more terrifying is the fact that this could be the beginning.

“So what magic did Elio use?”

“...It was Blink.”

“That is impossible. You must have seen it wrong.”

Blink is a 5 circle magic.

The Knight Commander thought that a barbarian who had trained aura could not be a 5th Circle like the court mage, Carlos.

‘What did Iza eat wrong? Magic itself is impossible with the spirit skill, so what kind of 5th circle?’

Then Baron Duke Williams said in a creeping voice.

“But apparently he used teleportation to appear behind us like a ghost.”

“I’ll look into that further, so don’t go around saying that.”

Fearing that the Griffin Knights would be ridiculed because of the word ‘blink’, the knight commander ordered them to stop talking.

Baron Duke Williams didn’t insist on Blink anymore, as if he wasn’t confident even after he said it.

“Huh!”

A sigh escaped from the knight commander’s mouth.

It is only a matter of time before today’s events become known to the Marquis Bernardo family.

If the Marquis Bernardo’s family protests about this incident, they will no longer be able to punish Elio.

Even so, it is impossible to overlook the fact that the three barons of the Griffin Knights were ruined.

As the heir said, if Putokoa raised suspicions, there would be people who suspected Elio of collaborating with the black magician, regardless of whether it was true or not.

“All right. If not, I will formally raise the issue at the upcoming noble meeting.”

“Where are the barons?”

“I ordered you to return to Putokoa because you have to stay with the Knights.”

“Do you write to the witnesses then? Keep it with you for a while. When this is over, it is not too late to return it.”

“All right. Then I will order you to stay at the Knights’ quarters.”

“Putokoa has face, so don’t let her go out of the Knights quarters. Bring me a meal too. Manage it thoroughly as if you were in custody.”

When he was told to act as if he were detained, the knight commander slightly got lucky.

“Your arm has been cut off. Shouldn’t it be treated?”

“It is up to the individual to do it on their own. Can you afford to take care of them in this yard where monsters jump out of cracks and casualties pour in?”

“I will do as instructed.”

The knight commander did not step forward for the three people whose arms were cut off.

Wouldn’t they know if they were mana users?

There was no reason to overdo it for the people who were to be expelled from the Knights.

***

Next morning.

Alpha Company rotated rift monitoring duties with Diva Company.

Immediately after the positioning was completed, the company commander, Baron Dennis Robin, approached Elio.

“Sir Elio. Today is the day the court mage Mage Kalos decided to repair the rift. Would you like to observe how the mage repairs the rift?”

“I see.”

Elio did not refuse.

It was because he had nothing to do personally, and he was also curious about the manifestation of magic that was prevalent in this world.

It was around noon when the court mage Mage Carlos arrived.

Baron Dennis Robin muttered with an envious face when he saw Mage Carlos appearing under the strict escort of the Optimus Knights and Bellatos Company.

“How would it feel to be escorted by the Knights?”

“well. I haven’t received anything like that yet.”

“Sir Elio will receive the estate this time, right?”

“There are rumors about it, but nothing is certain.”

“You will receive it. I am envious that you have already become a lord.”

While Baron Dennis Robin and Elio were talking, Bellatos Company blocked the front of the rift.

Mage Carlos, surrounded by the Optimus Knights, raised his wand-holding hand high into the sky.

“O ice and snow crystals! Appear here in Herhera’s Ice Wall and bridge the cracks! Muro de Keo (Ice wall) Agora (appear)!”

As befits a 5th Circle mage, he finished his magic in the ancient language.

Quad de de deuk-!

Ice rose from the floor on the left and right sides of the crack and covered the crack.

However, the ice wall created by mage Carlos was too weak compared to the ice wall called scutum (shield).

The ice wall, which had not completely filled the cracks, was dangerously shaken by the wind driving through the cracks.

The excitement stopped when Mage Carlos chanted the magic called ‘Ice Wall’ twice more.

However, even with three magic chanting, the cracks could not be completely filled.

This is because the cracks in the ice wall are too huge to be blocked with an ‘ice wall’.

As if she had poured out all her strength, white steam rose from Mage Carlos’ body.

When the swaying mage Carlos straightened his posture, the ice wall exploded with a loud explosion.

Quaang!

Then, through the cracks in the ice wall, a red body slowly walked out.

After a while, it revealed its entire body and was a one-eyed Demon Cyclops holding a huge hammer in one hand.

Surprised by the appearance of demons, a higher level than demons, the Bellatos Company and the Optimus Knights could not breathe for a moment.

A strange silence enveloped the human encampment.

For the first time on the continent of Rodina, in front of the demons that appeared unrelated to the black magician’s summoning, the Herhera garrison – like a frog in front of a snake – froze.
