Chapter 78

I couldn’t open my mouth due to Winter’s magical power that seemed to freeze me just by touching it. Blue ice crystals gradually spread around Winter, who was coldly stuck on the ground.

Charon knelt on one knee behind Winter and broke into a cold sweat. I narrowly avoided it just before it reached me.

However, it was not possible to be completely safe. My entire left arm was frozen. He grimaced as if in pain and grabbed his left arm.

“...It’s a disaster. “A young child who can’t do anything other than complain has this kind of power.”

Ruid didn’t listen to Charon’s words. The only focus was on the light scratches on Amelia’s cheeks.

If they had tried to argue with me, I would have let it go. Rather, ‘Yes. I would have joked, saying, ‘I am a pathetic person.’

But my family was hurt. I was angry. He was angry at himself for being indecisive, and he was also angry at Charon for doing things his own way and making him angry.

‘This is not a situation that can be avoided. What you need to show at this time is strength.’

Ruid raised his arms. Winter slowly floated along with it. Winter’s blade was pointed at Charon. By the time a ray of cold sweat flowed from Charon’s forehead.

Ruid lowered his arms.

Okay!

However, Winter got in the way. Not to Charon, but to Shearer’s sword.

“That’s it, Confucius.”

Shearer’s sword was surrounded by intangible magical power. Winter constantly tried to freeze Shearer’s entire body, but was blocked and could not proceed.

“....”

Ruid readjusted Winter’s position to a blind spot out of Shearer’s field of vision.

Did you read that thought? Shearer spoke in an indifferent voice.

“Confucius. calm down.”

At that time, Charon suddenly attacked Ruid and aimed behind him.

Without even looking back, he took out another sword from subspace and threw it at Charon. Winter left Shearer to deal with.

visor!

Charon struck down the flying sword. However, his posture greatly collapsed and he stumbled. The sword broke in two. This was because, unlike Winter, it was not a sacred device. However, the original goal of preventing Charon’s attack was achieved.

That gave me casting time. Ruid muttered runes and stretched out his hand toward Charon. Ruid’s magic flowed excessively and spread from his eyes.

“bye.”

Luid squeezed his hand. The result of this magic was immediately pictured in Ruid’s mind.

Charon will disappear. His existence will not be found in this world as he is broken into particles by the strong gravity that is constricting him in all directions.

‘It’s not enough.’

But—it wasn’t enough.

Ruid couldn’t be satisfied with that. There was no point in dying like this. That’s so convenient. Charon will leave without even knowing what he did wrong. Because I lived my whole life believing that I was right.

‘It’s going to be a joke.’

Luid’s anger was greater than expected. Like a wolf that plays with and then kills its prey, I wanted to break the pride of being the vice-captain of the Empire’s greatest knight order.

So, Ruid lowered his power. I decided to return the magic formula drawn in my head to nothing and shoot only a simple lump of magic power.

“Me, crazy.”

Countless blue round spheres appeared in the air.

“You’re very angry.”

Damon quietly placed the barrier around himself and closed his eyes.

Ruid glanced at Charon and shot a lump of magical power. In a straight line, the blue-colored group hit Charon directly.

Charon brilliantly swung his sword to block or dodge. Anything that wasn’t fatal was just a hit. Luid’s eyes gradually sank. Charon is deliberately throwing the light so that it is easier to block it. Ruid was waiting.

‘Your pattern is simple.’

Block one attack and make one attack. Typical counter method. As expected, the attack will come as soon as an opening appears.

“Hmm.”

At that time, Charon lowered his posture and placed his sword on his waist. It was as expected.

‘I’ll return it as is.’

Ruid has completed the magic to reverse cause and effect. You can reflect any attack that comes your way.

If you try to kill yourself, you will die, and if you try to inflict fatal wounds, you will be mortally wounded.

The level is different from the barrier I first used. If I were to destroy this, I was thinking of using Winter, but I was sure I couldn’t do it.

however.

I felt Shearer’s arm move due to Luid’s energy.

“You too, calm down. “Vice-captain.”

Tsk—!

Charon’s sword was blocked by Shearer. Charon lost his grip as if caught off guard.

‘...What kind of magic did you use?’

There was quite a distance between Caron and Shearer. However, Shearer subdued Charon just by drawing a sword in the air.

‘It’s dangerous too. Shearer.’

Ruid readjusted his power. Dangerous person from Charon to Shearer.

“Damn it.”

“Ah, I should have gone out for a drink like Nolan.”

Judith glared at Charon.

“Get ready to get scolded by His Majesty.”

“Is that going to be the end of it?”

“no? From what I see, it seems like His Majesty likes Prince Louis more than his own son. “Shouldn’t the vice-captain be let go?”

Charon said, stroking his stiff neck.

“That’s good.”

The reason why the Teutonic vice-captain was Charon was not because he was outstanding or skilled.

It was because it was annoying. As the leader, you might not know it, but the vice-leader is a lot of work and has no merit in many ways.

Judith sighed again and said.

“I didn’t know you would lose. Wasn’t that your specialty? “A wizard opponent.”

“It’s meaningless if the opponent doesn’t use magic.”

Teutons each had their own specialty. For a wizard, it was power. Charon’s specialty was ‘Dispel’.

Depending on the level of magic, there are some things that cannot be done, but magic that is in a static state can definitely be erased. In other words, the barrier does not work on him. As a result, a wizard cannot defeat Charon, but...

‘Is it coincidence or instinct? This is the first time I’ve been destroyed in this way.’

Charon smiled helplessly.

“So, what are your intentions? Are you really angry at Confucius’ attitude, or were you just trying to spar with him? “Is there some other great reason?”

“...both. It was true that I was angry, and it was true that I was trying to give guidance.”

My first thought after seeing Amelia’s sparring was that it was pitiful and sad that she couldn’t control her own strength.

Even at first glance, his skills were excellent, so I thought it would be enough to teach him a few times. However, it was Caron’s personality that made the sharp remarks come out. Because of this personality, there have been a lot of misunderstandings since long ago. It was the same this time too.

“Then it’s better if you say it in a nice way.”

“I told you. He said he was angry. And, I am a noble. “I must take responsibility for whatever the consequences of my actions are.”

Judith seemed to genuinely not understand.

“...What is wrong with all nobles? “If I give up my pride, will I die?”

Judith shook her head as if she did not understand.

He crossed his arms as if he was disappointed.

“Ah, it’s been a while since I thought something interesting was going to happen. When you’re protecting Prince Ruid. With things like this, I can’t do it... right? Ugh, really.”

Judith stood up. I was thinking of leaving because it was all messed up. Surprised, I thought about having a drink. Then, Shearer, who had not yet sheathed his sword, appeared in her field of vision.

“What is it, Shearer? “Why are you doing this?”

“....”

Shearer raised his sword with an indifferent expression. Judith thought it was heading towards her and was a little scared.

However, he soon looked at the sword with a puzzled expression. As I followed the sharp blade downwards...

Shearer’s hands were frozen. With sword handle.

“...Confucius, you are strong.”

Judith covered her mouth and held her stomach and burst into laughter.

“Is that what happened just because I blocked it once? Hahaha!”

Judith, who had been laughing for a while, even had tears in her eyes, and asked.

“If we fight again, will I lose to Confucius?”

Shearer nodded with an expressionless face.

“I can’t win.”

Judith was a little surprised when she heard that. That’s right, Shearer was the first or second most powerful player in the empire. Judith had never once imagined Shearer losing. That is impossible.

Moreover, in a 1:1 battle, a knight has a much better advantage than a wizard. The advantage of a Pure Wizard lies in creating an environment that is favorable to him, not in sudden close-range combat.

Despite her own admission, Judith never imagined Shearer would lose.

“...If it’s sparring. “I can’t win.”

“You can’t win in sparring?”

“If it were a fight for my life, I would win.”

Judith blinked in puzzlement.

“What are you talking about? “If you can’t win, you can’t win.”

“Because when I threw the ice sword at Charon, I slowed down at the end. So that Charon can avoid it. Probably, that Confucius. “I’m not used to risking my life.”

Judith frowned.

“Of course you won’t be used to it. “Why would a 12-year-old risk his life?”

“...You were 12?”

“...I did not know?”

Shearer walked towards Charon at a slow pace.

Charon looked at him curiously. Without hesitation, Shearer slammed his fist into Charon’s head.
